 E.. E. Gilman and 0. B. Hallett are get ting their new block in the east village GOV cred and nearly ready for the plastering. Il is three stories in height, with Mansard roof-the first story has two fine large stores, and the upper ones are to be finished for offices and tenements. This block oc. cupes the site of one of the oldest, if not the very oldest buildings in the village, and which has been used as a store for seventy years or over. The substitution of the new for the old building is great addition to that part of our borough......A tremen- duous shower of ram and hail deluged our streets on Monday, about noon. It was ot short duration though, and did no damage. ......The grass crop, under the stimulation of the frequent rains, is turning out much heavier than was at first thought it could, SO that now farmers expect larger yield of hay than last year, but west of here the crop.is very ight.-CowrGaat.

Ashley Falls.

Ashley Falls.
 Friend Pease-You mentioned in your last issue that very large buzz saw was being put into the mill here. We'll, it is in order; so says Boss Bulman, and you know when Bulman says anything is done it is aoeU done, and the way it cuts and slashes through the timber is caution to the workmen in regard to their fingers, But that saw is not the only thing that is slash ing around in Ashley Falls. As I was going up on the railroad track, I found al the depot little bosom of an engine, slash ing away at the rate of l2o motions in 6 minute, pumping water at the rate of l5e barrels in an hour. I learned also that they were building new double story schoo house in the village, large enough to ac commodate 90 scholars in the two depart ments. So you see Ashley Falls is lookins up, fiat oaa her back looking atp!)

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF NEW YORK LIFE; OR, THE SIGHTS AND SENSATIONS OF THE GREAT CIrY. "-The National Publish ing Co.,, of Philadelphia, have just issued one of the most remarkable and attractive books of the day, bearing the above title. It is comprised in one large octave volume of $50 pages, and illustrated with nearly 200 fine ensfsvings of noted places, life and scenes in New York.
 To MT. McCabe is due the credit of hay ing produced the most complete and graph ic account of the great city, and it's busy and varied life that it has been our fortune to meet with. His book is brim full of solid and useful information, and ahounds in descriptions of the various public build- ings of New York, its palaces, prisons, | q tels churches, stores, hospitals, etc.
 The work sets forth in glowing e ,lor the noble work for suffering hum anitv which is going on every day in tMe cres city, and reveals with bold hand the ter rible crimes the dark mysteries, and in, hidden sins of metropolitan life We arr introduced into the home of tho Fifth Ave nue millionaire, and carried wi tn equal in terest to tie squalid cellar of inc Xiv. Points peggar. We are by ought face t, face with the good and tho bad, high an( the low, with leading mer chants, bankers cultOrS, ana actors, Wltn bummerS, thieves detectives and murdere,.s, with workinl women, ballet girls, ad,Jenturesses, and : host of others, and we st ,em to be iistenins to their stories from their own lips, so thor oughly does the author e nchain our interest Our warmest enthusiasm and our deepest contempt are alternate ly aroused by the thrilling recitals of theD. deeds of virtue and vice. The history and frauds of the famous Tammany Ring are related with great force and candor, and this portion alone is worth the price of the book
 In short the book is New York in minia- ture. The author has penetrated, under the protection of the police, into the dark est and most dangerous haunts of crime in the city, and has thus been enabled to ob- tain accurate information on the topics whereof he treats. Visitors to New York cannot hope to see or know as much of the city as they may learn by perusal of this book. To all who contemplate visiting the great Metropolis, we cordially recommend it, both for its information and for it's pow erful warnings against the dangers of the city. Those who cannot see Now York for themselves will be in great measure repaid for that privation by reading this work. It is published in both English and German; sold by subscription only, and the publishers want agents in every county.

Something of the grandeur of the ''hound. less prairie" something of it's fierce heat when the ''fire fiend" envelopes it, is to be discovered in the rhetoric of the Western editor as he goes for the enemy who has trif1ed with his forbearance and defied the lightnings of his wrath. ''The foul mouthed poll-parrott of the Paoli Sca0enger has too long roasted in the shadow of our good nature. Let him beware. Forbearance is no longer virtue. We shall send his dainty plumage skurrying on the four winds of heaven, and give his bloated carcass to the vultures."

NEnrtha's Vineyard.

At this season of the year, all are nor or less interested in watering places, and a Marthas Vineyard appears to be as mucl talked about as any, We clip few extracts from correspondence to the Lee Gzeaner descriptive of the place-ED.1
 Whey Ard Haven (forperly known as Holmes ole,) is finely situated upon the eastern sSSre of the Island, and until recent. ly was inhabited principally by the families of men engaged in the whaling business. Some twenty years ago, two miles south of here, on the coast, at point known as Oak Bluffs, camp-meeting was held for the first time, and people were much pleased with the place for camping purposes. Some six years ago more extensive prepa. ratlons for camp-meeting purposes were made here, and company was formed who purchased, as they supposed, land enough for meeting purposes in the future. and few cheap cottages were erected. I should judge this tract contained s,lbeut fiji. teen acres, has very fine op,s grove all over it and fence upon three sides :: and at present all available spac,. is covered with tas'u" constructed wooden cottages, of all Aesigns and sizes. costing from $500 to $4, ,0OO each. This was no doubt originally intended to accommodate all visiting this rural place, but some three years ago, the land along the shore for miles each way, was purchased by companies, and the spirit displayed in improving the sites and erect ing summer cottages is surely surprising. Within radius of one mile from the Oak Bluff Camp Ground, am told there are no less than 2,50o cottages, including those upon the original plot, and at one time last summer it was estimated that 10000 peo- pie were located at Oak Bluffs. At present some 200 new cottages are in course of construction.
 There are two very large hotels just about completed, able to accommodate some 25O guests each, and very many smaller ones Everything resembles city regular streets, wide side walks, parks and in fact about everything but brick and mortar.
 I learned, upon enquiry, that the owners of the larger part of these summer houses were from the smaller towns of New Eng land and New York State, although 8 few come from the large cities. Among the notables who own cottages here are Ex- Gov. Claflin, of Mass, Senator Sprague, of R. l., Isaac Rich, of Boston, &c. Gener- ally one family occupies each cottage, and some half dozen families club together and have one kitchen, and all take meals together; but there are plenty of eating saloons on the European plan. where those so disposed can secure very good meals and save the trouble of cooking.
 We noticed in riding around, that the en- tire available land for miles either way, was staked off into streets and lots, 5OxlOO feet, and no less than six land companies have offices and are doing thriving business selling lots and erecting cottages. Lots of above size vary in price from $2Oo to $12OO, the cost of cottages we mentioned above.
 There is fine sea-bathing most anywhere along this beach, and plenty of suitable &C., commodations at all settled points.
