 CornaoaH BrSdge.-Our new physician, Dr. Hcaddy, is becoming very popular
 ,mong our people as practitioner. He does not allow the sick or feeble to remain long in doubt as to his qualifications, for he
 is bound to cure all who apply to him for relief. Our merchants, Kellogg & Skiff,
 Ire again on hand with splendid stock of new goods of all kinds. They have this \ season given special attention to wall paper, and are prepared to suit people in that line. Mountain Fgres.-Last Friday evening. the passengers on Conductor Smiths eve hing train north on the Housatonic road. were treated with one of the most magnii cent scenes it ever became Rthe lot of pas sengers to enjoy. Soon after leaving Ga naan station. the mountains east of Bar rington. which we have been informed are known as the Pool mountains" hove in sight and presented indeed grand specta- cle, being apparently on fire all over them. Passing along through the country at the rate the train carried them, the passengers were enabled to view the confagration from various points in short space ot time, and was thought that nothing sholt of Vesnvius herself could beat the view il, magnifcence. We learn that several hun dred cords of wood belonging to the Rich mond Iron Company were destroyed. This company probably failed to discover much to gratify their taste for the sublime in that particular fire.
 Ore Bed Meeting. was meeting at Robison's hotel in Lakeville last Tues day, of the proprietors of the "Old Hilr' ore bed, to elect officers, declare dividend, talk up matters generally and eat good square dinner, such as they knew Land lord Robison could get. Among the more prominent proprietors present were the Hon. Wm. G. Bates of Westfeld; the Hon. Wm. H. Barnum the Hon. J. H. Hubbard of Litchfield; James s. Talbot of New York, representative heir of the Liv. ingstone manor Robt. Adams of Pitts field; Wm. Adams of Canaan and s. $. Robbins of Lakeville. Our business would not admit of our waiting to hear the declar ation of the dividends, but when we receive ours, of course we shall know what it is and will be able to announce to our readers the exact figures. Of course nobody ex poets the dividend to be less than 100 pei cent, and at that figure we regard our stock as worth keeping. We do not propose to sell ours immediately.
 Summer Hotel.-Messrs. Miller & Bird mer boarders, which for size and appoint ments for the purpose designed, will not be equalled by any in this region. It will be 60 feet long by A feet wide and will be four stories high. The rooms are to be very systematically and conveniently ar ranged and all will be finished in the lates, style. The 32 private rooms for the guests will be lOxl7 feet in size, and will contain every modern convenience they can desire. This building will largely supply 8 want long felt in that village, for the accommo dation of the myriads from the cities, who seek for summer residence, quiet villages in the country. For pleasant drives and beautiful scenery, such as delights and en- chants the Gothamite, who for so many months of the year is penned in among the walls of an overcrowded city, few sections of our country afford the equal of Lakeville, Salisbury and hereabouts generally. That the new Lakeville hotel will be largely pat ronized and pay well, will not admit of a question, and when our new building erect ed for the same purpose in Salisbury is com pleted, that too will be filled. There. is ample room and patronage for both. Much credit is due Messrs. Miller and Bird for their enterprise thus made manifest, and they will ind that, as we have once before said, well directed enterprise GlaoGys pays. Winsted. the good people of Win. sted are bound to drive ahead, and try 1 to be as much as other folks in some things as well as others, is evident by the frank ac' acknowledgement in the Bridgeport Standard of last Friday, that they arc about erecting an Opera House ''twice the size of our own, and second in size, &c., to any in the state. We'll directed enterprise alWays pays, and that Winsted is chock full of that particu lar sort, is more and more evident every day. We admire this way of doing things, 1 nd oh 1>o vlo1 of fhn x,il lages hereabouts following the example ot
 Winsted. Hear what the Standard says about Winsted:
 "The Winsted people are ahead of uE Bridgeporters in some respects. They are about erecting an Opera House, for inst ance, which is to cost about eighty thou. sand dollars and will be second in size, con
 venience, elegance of appointments and completeness of accommodations only tc one otber in the State, viz. the Robert: Opera House at Hartford. The Opera House, when done will be twice the size of
 our own. Pretty well for Winsted."
