Falls Village.
\ CITIZEN,

To the capitalists of this village I would
 like to say few words this week through
 the NEWS. We need c fouring maiu in this
 place. Did you ever stop to think of the
 hundreds of tons of flour, feed, meal, buck
 wheat and shorts, shipped to this place and
 sold every year-at price much higher
 than it is sold within radius of ten miles
 from usP Meal sells at Ashley Falls for
 $l GO. and here for $2O0. and about as
 much lower at Cornwall Bridge. Why
 don't some of our moneyed men get ttogeth,
 CT and form company to start mill2 It will pay, and that would help to start other
 business here. Look at the water power here; it is equal to 5000 horse power or more,-id!e. Why not talk it up o little and take some of those bonds or that money you have been sitting ou for the last ten years, and make things stir, and immor- talize your names2 Think of this, and act, and govern yourselves accordingly......1 said few words last week about our jew eller; suppose, of course, his advertise ment will appear this week in the NEWS. There are others who ought to adver- tise also. There is Decker, the Learned Blacksmith" at the head of the street, will shoe horse SO that the shoe will keep up with the horse every time, and the wagon maker there, will make wagon that will keep up with the horse also. And there is the enterprising Spur, who they say gives away lumber that other dealers would seu.
 He knows how to do it; and there is the busy Dean, who handles more "tin" than any man in town; while Clemans, the good-natured, jolly, and best looking man in town, (so the ladies say,) can put in a set of teeth that are as good and durable as can be put in by any live man this we know, and everybody says SO, and he can pull tooth quickern-a-wink, and make you think it don't hurt and Friend Gard
 ner will make suit of clothes that will
 make humped-backed man look all right
 and it is said that Hurlburt will insure 6
 mans life SO that he will live until he dies.
 The new boot and shoe dealer in the same
 building, havnt got acquainted with yet
 so won't say much about him for feal
 he will boot me. They say he makes {
 practice of booting every one that goe'
 along re.footed. Mrs. F. M. Olin's mil
 linery establishment is really worthy of ,
 visit. Homely girls go in there and com'
 out good looking; and they say that Sulli van, the jolly blacksmith down in the Hol low, shoes horse 80 that the horse won need to call on him but twice u year, ant
 the wagon maker there will make wagon that will never want fixing. Eggleston
 the noted spring bed maker, don't say much but keeps at work and makes up his bed
 every day. The Brewster Canfield Go. arr noted for their honesty and fair dealing an'
 of course do driving business. |" Rome Segur, Merchant down on Water street, also every day alike, and does good busi ness, while Dave Watts, groceryman, acros the river, is the most accommodating So any of them, for he carries his store t
 your very door. Housatonic R. R
 Go. are getting along nicely at their work at Amesville The new R. R. bridge ready for the iron to be laid, and larg
 number of cars loaded with brick, lumber Sc., are ready to be sent across as 500 as the iron is laid. Mir. Clark Hopper,
 blacksmith in the employ of the H. R. R Co.,, has gone to New York to have an or eration performed on his eyes. He lost tn sight of one eye few years ago, and th other began to fail him few days since and when he went to New York his sigt was almost gone. His fellow workme
 showed their sympathy for him in his a !. fiction by giving him purse of $3s, th day he went away. AUNT ISAAC.
