 IHe Neeo Paper. first copy of the new paper published in New Milford, and called the Neao Mjlford J0mnaJ has come to hand. It is a six column paper, well ed tied and printed, carrying large amount of advertising at the start. Altogether it makes a good appearance and probably will make live of it.

 TAa1sIts, My De0r.-A subscriber from Falls Village, who encloses $2.OO to pay for the NEWS, also added: land script to buy cigar" Sure enough the script was thar, and an editor is treated to cigar. That this subscriber will live to be hun dred years old, and live constantly on the fat of the land, as remuneration for the good deeds done in tue body, there is not shadow of doubt.

 RenaGr6o65e.-We copy the two follow ing extracts from last weeks number of the Salisbury paper: ''All papers stop at time to which they are paid" ."-"There are several hundred dollars due us for subscrip- tions. ."-BerksAire Courier.
 The above is unquestionably the smart est hit that has appeared in the Courier since Rogers became it's editor. That's right old fellow: mop your perspiring brow with your tri-colored bandana and work on.

Strange as it may seem when that roll was cut at the home of this ''hired man," they were sur prised to find in the center of It, one of the longest Long Green cucumbers of which the country can boast, gone to seed.
