North Canaan.
 In reply to A. B. c. respecting the recent election m our town, would say the re- port given was correct; but some of our friends must have betrayed their trust, or yielded to the pressure of party spirit. They did talk temperance strongly, but voted for rum stronger. We. however. with the spirit of Southern chivalry, ''ac- cept the situation" l confess little sur prise ut the action of the old board of se- lectmen, on the eve of election, and in their last official act as town officerS: to accept the applications of some for license before the vote had been taken looked very much like bait for voters. The men elect we have no doubt will express the will of their constituents in respect to licenses for the sale of liquor, as in other matters. I would, through your paper, call the atten- ton of our new board to nuis epce at Canaan depot, which for six months has been tolerated with no effort to remedy, and that is the pool of stagnant water nearly opposite Mir. Lawrence's drug store, on the main street of our village, It has been impossible to pass through the village for the most part of the summer without driving through the mud and water, to the disgust of every traveller. In sanitary point of view it is e good advertisement for the doctor, or druggist opposite. While other improvements are being made, it is hoped this evil may be remcdied, ......I be- l lieve no one has mentioned the signs of progress in our village. The work on the union depot is not all that is being done here Mir. George Peet has built fine horse barn on the premises of the late John Adams MT. s. o. Beckley has erect ed good shed near his store. The base ment of the town hall is being fitted up for a meat market. Fuller 6 Peet have enlargeda,heir store room. James Cara han has completed an office at his lumber yard shed at his place of business. "Ca. naan Depot is not behind the times in some things, but have written enough fol an OCCASIONAL.

A Company has been formed in Bridge port to make sewing machine needles. l.. They have bought the exclusive right to Webster's patent machine for reducing the blad. of the needle by the sewing process. In making sewing machine needles, the old method is to cut off the wire the whole length of the needle, and then turn down the blade to the proper size. In that way the best part of the wire-the outside-is turned off and wasted, the poorest part of the wire-the centre. or core-only being used. The mode of manufacture by which thls company will make their needles is to take N piece of wire less than half the length required for milled needles, and by series of very rapid blows or compres- sions, hammer or draw out the blade to the proper length.

West Cornwall, No. 2.

Bears have long since disappeared from even the widest of our Housatonic hills, but the other day ss two ladies, Gone of whom was Mrs. Neale of Brooklyn,) were riding through ''Katchall" in the northern part of Cornwall, they saw an animal cross the road that well might have been mis- taken for one. A dog brought it to bay in the woods, when with sticks and stones they finally succeeded in dispatching the beast. It proved to be an enormous scood- cauck! weighing twelve pounds, which had grown big and fat by pilfering from the farmers of that locality. Many thanks to the ladies who relieved them from the pest. This same lady, (before mentioned, not long ago hearing noise in her henery, took with her six-shooter, and found the robber to be fox. She instantly fired, killing him on the spot. For this she re- ceived her bounty, with the promise of one for every fox she might kill. This bounty she gave to Republican club.

Do People Read Advertisement? |?

There is now and then person so stu pid as to believe that advertisements in the newspapers are not generally read, and that the money expended in advertising is practically Iwasted. Even such will con- cede that if hundred men of politead- dress, of fluent speech and ready wit were to call daily or weekly each upon hundred others and get the ears of each long enough to say John Smith, or Jones, or Thomp son at such place has such and such and such goods at such prices, or would sell house or lot, or had lost horse or pocket book, or would loan money, etc., we say such men will concede that the ser vices of this one hundred men would be of great value to Smith or Jones, and in the same measure to the party to whom this statement was made. This one hundred men could not be employed to go from door to door and make this statement to ten thousand people for sless than cost of several hundred dollars each trip. All this is done by the newspapers at cost of a few shillings, or 8 few dollars at most, and the visits are made week after week, day after day. The messenger who tray els addresses himself to the ear and takes the party addressed when he may have his thoughts absorbed in business or other matters but the newspaper reaches the party sought through the eye. when the reader has his thoughts solely upon the paper before him.
 But those who effect to believe that there is little use in advertising urge as an objec- ton that advertisements are not read. They can be easily convinced of theil error in this respect by making inquiry. Let them insert an advertisement offering to purchase some article that is tolerably plenty in the market, and they will be flooded with offers to sell before the ink ol the advertisement is dry. An enterprislne weekly that has circulation of one, twG or three thousand copies is in position tt do the village merchants much good, ant for which, as rule, the publisher does no get one fourth of what he justly deserves In its sphere the weekly is of quite a much service to the advertiser as is tn Gaily, and oftentimes it enjoys the privi lege of being the exclusive family visitor a aprivilege the daily papers seldom enjoy -Union aDd Advertiser, Rochester, ~. y
