Connecticut western news., 1872-09-13

to erect these extensive works at Falls Village is, we think, not only a fortunate
 one for them, on account of the unlimit-
 ed water power they get and the numerous | other advantages of the location, but will | add another to the number of heavy man. ufacturing establishments, which is mak- ing this section of so much importance When completed, walk through the works
 and an examination of the intricate ma chinery of the locomotives in their vari-
 ous process of completion, will form an
 object of interest well worthy the attestion
 it will probably get, unless "No Admit
 tance except on Business" is freely display
 ed over the doors. We'll not get interest
 ed in this locomotive machinery now, but will go up in the street and see what the | tradesmen, tailors and tinkers are about. Getting into the street we run bang against
 Nlr. Spur, he who built the slab house on the
 camp grounds last season, and who imme- diately opened business with us, by wallop-
 ing us soundly because we didn't tell folks
 in our last paper all about the cattle show and fair, etc., and all that sort O thing, and although we told him that we had seen no posters or anything giving positive as surance they were gong to have jig over there, and for the credit of the fraternity,
 -(editors aoon't lie you know,) of course we would say nothing about it till we knew aohGt to sGy. Aswe said above, although we plead earnestly our innocence of inten. tional slight of duty, he needed it not but kept paying on till Ae got enough, and giving us cigar, Cor if he djtn't thea, we presume he will when we call on him again to help him figure up the profit and loss on that camp meeting elificc, We bade him farewell and lodged across the street to look at a tooth as long as row of pota- toes, just taken from the mouth of a blush ing damsel, who sat dropping in Dr. C!em- ans big chair, looking as though she had 'sno one to love-" Twas too bad anyway. The doctor said it was the largest tooth he had ever extracted; and when it came out of her mouth, there was little left of tic poor girl she was pretty much all gone ; the Doctor had the biggest part of her in his nippers. Tailor Gardner, his next d.oor neighbor, had no time to get excited over this tooth, because he had so much to do. A good tailor is always full of W ork, but then, he said he would just stf.p in and
 introduce us to Mir Chauncy D.unalds, the new boot and shee man, whC, only Il few months since opened d stoy for the sale  of boots and shoes. MT. L,onalds evident ly understands his business and is driving a good trade.-Marble, the druggist, in the same block, has one of the neatest little drug stores in the county. He sells extra copies of the NEWS, whi ch is glory enough for one man.-Allyn, tbs watch tinker, and Dean, who sells stoves and tin whistles, were in New York buying goods, with which to astonish the natives who will flock to their stores during fair week. MT. Miner is untying a lot of bed quilts and carpets bought of Weatherby, Knous & Pelton, of Hartford, day or two since. Isn't this new feature in the mercantile wide-awake to the interests of his GUS toners, as is evident by his getting his goods of those Hartford merchants who advertise in the NEWS. After look through the popular establishment of Brewster tG Garfield, near the depot, who are full of goods and selling them rapidly and cheap, we ''hie us home to dinner" which we
 find across the way at Dudley's hotel, where a man gets good square meal of 'wittals' and don't pay a cent more than it is worth either, which cant be said of all the hotels in the country ;-but who is this that grap- pies us as we come in the door? Egleston, of spring bed notoriety has been waiting for us, and thrusts cut in our face, which he says, ''put in the NEWS and make my advertisement show up some, eh ?" We eh'd and went to dinner. After all, we can't rub it out very easy, Egleston has fine thing in those superior spring beds he makes, and if editors were not so provok- ingly poor, they could take his advice to us, ''take out these old knotty ropes and lie on one of hjs beds. How is b1r. Seger getting. along down toward the bridge? Him, as! well as several others we'll have to attendI to next time, as an engagement up the Hou-' satonlc road won't allow us to get as far: from the depot as that, when it is so near" car time.
