 Mtllerton. While in Millerton a few days since. we had occasion to call in the we'll known and well patronized photo- graph gallery of Mir. c. P. Capron. These rooms are very we'll arranged for the pic ture business. and with the skill of MT. CApron. first class pictures would seem in, eviia5le. We were shown some tintypes made while there, of customers who hap pened in at the time. and have no hesitency | in pronouncing them second to none made in this region, and the fun of it is. Capron is always so good natured about it. It being about the usual dinner time. we strayed in the restaurant of W. w. Merri- field, in his new block which he has so recently erected; and which is indeed cred. l it to the man and to the village, ,and--well 1 1 it is sufficient to say we did not leave that establishment hungry. There was some thing more on his tables than the famous Massachusetts cheese. with three pieces of which 'of the above mentioned size" we were 30 generously fed recently. Mir. Mcr rifnld's rooms are very neatly and taslily arranged. and to all who may need refresh mcnts while in Millrrton, We chperfully commend Mir. MrrrihrlA's eating rooms, ns place where they will be fed liberally and at very reasonable cost. About a mo mrnt and halt in E. w. Simmons & Cos. store. convinced us they have about husi ness enough to attend to, and quite enough to keep Book keeper Penney busy with his quill to keep the accounts straight. A good square look at Mir. Penney will con vince anybody that he is far from being a bad Penney. Exactly how many of the gushing damsels of Milerton, who would gladly give nice large and bright half dollar for that Penney. we did not learn. but can assure Messrs. Simmons 6 Co.,. they can trade him even, for those half dollars any time, and if they should rx- pprience any trouble about it there, there are enough here in Salisbury, who will take him at double tue price. Send him over here.
 Lee, Mass-A case will soon come be-
 fore the courts in Lee. wich will undOubt- edly excite much interest there. The facts may be briefly stated thus. l.. Northrop, 1 &. ;,, nd thing like about a year ago married one of
 Lees most fascinating daughters. Prev
 ious to this marriage the amiable and attrac- |. tive damsel who is now Northrup's wife, ' received the company of one Hart, Ca s,oeet Hart,) and smiled upon him her most bewitching smiles, and thus was he encouraged to think himself the only one
 who occupied place in her loving heart,
 but alas how true lis that true love never , runs smoothly He soon discovered that
 the aforesaid Northrup was claiming aud receiring more of the affection of Miss - than was agreeable to him. The contest waxed hot and heavy between the
 contestants, but Northrop's store of air
 balloons and snare drums gained the ascen-
 dancy, and Hart was recOnciled to the new
 phase which affairs had SO suddenly as. sumed, by an offer of a cleikship in the aforesaid balloon store, with the understand
 ing that he should 6onrd in Northrop's family, and thus he would have the oppor tunity to gaze every day upon the idol of
 bis Aedrt. For several months all went
 well. and the arrangtm, nt was pronounced success ';ll s few days ago Merchant Nortb-
 rop thought he missed cash from his usu- ally well filed till, aud immt diatcly accused
 his clerk, Hart, of cmhezzling. This Was
 too much for the usually quiet and submis- sive Hart. Nnrthrop had slulrn from him
 his first and only love, and now Was at tempting To take from him that which, as the ilustrious Shakespeare says, ''enrichcth
 him not but maketh me poor indeed;" his
 good name. The ire of Hart occasidned by this accusation, has rendered him ell , ,irely. unmanagenble, and he has sworn
 vengeance on Northiop and will not be r quleicd for anything less than $!0OO, aud r to the courts he has appealed to aid him
 iu wrestling from his vile accuser thai
 amount. We hope our correspondent will . Keep us posted in this important trial, and thus enable us io give the news up to the
 latest moment before going |" press every
 week, as not only is the village of Lrc
 interested in it's termination. but it forms a
 precedent, which the DorId is anxious to
 know about.
 Railroad Conductors.-Mr. Editor: 1 !. have often thought there Was no position, where there was SD grand an opportunity to manifest the true gentleman, or iis oppo- site, boOrishness, us that of conductors. How often do we meet with tue latter characteristic, in the pert, short answers,
 and indeed, often in no answer Ut all to . the varied, and often unnecessary Ques- r ,ions of passengers. Doubtless their pa |. tience is often sorely tIied, especially when Q business presses, but even then the true | gentleman will certainly show itself. as we'll us in any other situation. And iu this v respect cannot but think our Conn. Wes- r tern roai has been peculiarly fortunate. 0 Having had occasion to pass over the road often since its opening, am free to say that f the gentlemen having charge of the trains 5 snow great willingness to accommodate t aud treat with great consideration those /; with whom they come in daily contact. To a prove this; ; allow me to cite all instance
 or two which camc under my own personal a observation. A few mornings. since as |. Conductor Hinsdale's ltrain left Whist, . ping west (S A. A,) 0n collecting the
