CHESTER, June 3d.-Mr. Editor -
AS the TINES has circulation in Ches-
ter fully equal to all other State weeklies
combined, think it no more than fair
that our locals have corner therein.
We have of late missed the racy illusions
from the pen of your old regular, who,
while ever accurate in statement, lex
cept once) reported US acceptably, intel
ligently and regularly.
Decoration Day gave out no fragrance
with US the 80 or 80 heroes that lie in
our cemeteries received not the usual
touching recognition, and, SO far as ] can
judge, very little, if anything was said
in reference to public observance OF
the day. 1t is not TO be supposed for a
moment that, with the interment of those
noble fellows, came the extinguishment
of all our patriotic emotions, though it
must be confessed that time has dulled
our susceptibiliiies somewhat.
1t is feared that we shall have very
light importation of summer guests this
season few applications as yet, having
been filed. Strange when we can safely
boast of village unsurpassed in pietur.
esque attractions by any between Bos
ton and Burlington, with fine hotel &C
commodations, easy accessibility and
moderate cost of living.
All who have occasion to travel be
tween Chester village and the depot viii
hail the accomplishment of the roat
Improvement on the hill, now being 81
energetically and thoroughly pushed
along. The work is expensive, requir
ing much blasting and filling, but tn
travel over the road is very great and i
our town ever made practical invest
ment of its funds, here is an instance.

most favorably known to our community

the citizens of Charlestown cannot b

rience with the gentleman has proved
moekery and we shall be chary of gu
certificates of merit hereafter.

ufaetured at Chittenango, New York, al

it run, &c. We have now used it fol
several months, with precisely the same
success in all particulars that attended
it the first week. 1t has fully sustained

SPRINGFIELD.-Two weeks since we
mentioned the fact that john Halls
store at North Springfield, had been
broken into and several hundred dollars
worth of goods stolen. A few days after
wards one Sidney Bemis, who had rea-
son to feel uneasy about the matter, es-
pecially after the discovery Of some Of
the stolen property, volunteered to dis
close what he knew Of the job, if his
own participation should be overlooked.
This being agreed to, he declared that a
certain Blodgett was his aceomplice,
Blodgett was arrested and Bemis was
summoned to appear and testify against
him at the trial This Bemis failed to
do, and it appears, retained possession Of
part of the goods, and took up his abode
on the mountains of Baltimore. He
ventured out, however, at an unfrequent
ed house, where he asked for accommo
dations to cook eggs, &c. While at this
place his whereabouts was discovered
and he was arrested and is now in Jail
He has been there before. BIodgett de
mics all, but was held to bail

New MUsIo.-We have received a

Earle, Esq, formerly Editor of the Bar

The song is set to appropriate music by
C. Eugene Harrington, and issued by
the well known music publishing house
of Lee & Walker, Philadelphia. With
the Montpelier Freeman we /" trust the
inspirations and Observation-Disclosures

ture upon the fowery mount of poesy
may do much to allay the perturbations
of soul induced by his grotay experience
in newspaporial paths"

COUNTY CONVENTION. 1t will be seen
by the call for the Windham county
convention that the committee have re-
vised the apportionment, by which some
towns lose and others gain in the num-
Der of delegates to which they are en-
titled. The basis We presume is made
up on the population of 1870. We have
had no time to figure the superintendent
but the committee no doubt have it right
The total for the county is now 127, for
merly it was 1872. The population of
the county was nearly 1000 less in 1870
than in 1860. This town seems to have
lost one delegate though her loss in pop
ulation was but 80, while Brattleboro
has gone up from 16 to 81. Athens,
Grafton, Windham, Jamaica and some
other towns lose one each.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
Fraudulent MISREPRESENTATION.

Among the pernicous frauds Of the period there is
which especially deserves the apprehension of all
who place proper value on life and health. The
swndle referred to consists in the attempts of rrespon
sble parties in different sections of the United States
to force upon the market vile astrngent compounds
manufactured out of damaged worthless drugs and
refuse liquor preparations possessing the rare me-
dcina virtues of the most popular and ecacious of
all vegetable tonics and alteratiy eHostettcrs Stom
ach Bitters.
The concocers Of these local bitters' are in the
truest of the phrase. public enemies Their fiery
potions iname the stomachs stupefy the brains and
shatter the of those who unwise enough
accept them substitutes for the famous Vegetable
1nvigorant, THAT for twenty years has been known
throughout the Western Hemisphere standard ar
tice.
The fame of Hostetter's Biters as health preserv-
ing vitaliZng medicine, is wide as the world, and
the miserable attempts of needy nostrum- to
supplant it would be treated with silent contempt
1t not that serious consequences sometimes follow the
use OF the nefariOus compounds in question Whoever
recommends any of them remedies for Dyspepsia,

MACK" of the Missouri Democrat, has
been drawing pen pictures of the leading
bummers of the so-called Liberal Repub-
lican Convention" in Missouri last week
Here is one of them:
Scovill has the ambition to be first class ras-
cal, but wise Providence seems to have or
dained that he shall not rise above the grade of
a third class hummer in politics and a fourth
class buffoon on the platform. You can't eat
half dozen oysters without putting six times as
much brains into your stomach as Scovill has
in his head. This is a melancholy truth, and
am sorry for it on Scovilrs account, because l
don't like to see a man strive for the peniten-
tiary and end by deserving the lunatic asylum.
