 There is to be no more liquor, ale or any thing intoxicating sold in our village: Not even a place where (" a little for medicine can be obtained, and it will be useless for any ''hole in the waN grocery" to move into the place, unless it comes on wheels, and then they would not have time to un- hitch tn cir team before the citizens would march them out. Will not the neighbor' ing villages in town go and do likewise Our esteemed landlord, MT. H. w.

The rain interfered with the reception prepared for the band and sol diers, but nevertheless it passed off very well, and the inhabitants of Puffingham deserve great credit for the pluck displayed by the ladies, in getting out in the storm to feed lot of hungry people. Remarks were made by Rev. Mir. Prince Abbott and E. F. Gold, Esq, which were very appro- priate, and those of the Capt. especially SO. ......Those young men who appointed them selves to the office of examining wagon axles, have resigned their office after pay ing roundly for their efforts to oil wagon axle, which they found standing in front of the residence of one of our citizens a few weeks since. Let all young men and old ones to, take warning and not meddle too far with other peoples, fruit or wagons, for if they do they will find that trouble has surely commenced. X. Y. z.

To Our SubscqSbers.-The first year of the publication of the NEWS will end July 9th, and all of our subscribers who sub scribed at the commencement and received the first number of the NEWS, will re- ceiye that day the last number of their first years subscription. While can vassDg for subscribers, before We com mtnced the publication of our journal, we were asked by so many of those who sub. scribed, |" to stop the paper when the time was out,' that we concluded to try the ex pertinent of adopting that plan with all, instead of charging $2. were we not That thIs plan of stopping at the expiration advantage of subscriber as we'll as publish CT, there is not question. Among the many reasons why it is to their advantage are, firstly; q subscriber is liable to forget to renew his subscription as soon as it ex- pires. and time unconsciously passes on, and as he continues to take the paper from the post office, he is obliged to pay for it, and his bill will soon come 10 him, at the rate of $2.50 per year, thus paying 50 cents for the use of $2.OO for short time This is pretty steep interest to pay for the use of money. Another reason why the stop plan is for their interest is, that if they do not choose to take the paper an other year. they are not obliged to write three or four times to choke the unWelcome journal off. It must be clear to all, that it is not for our interest to get our subscribers provoked at us because we stop their paper, and we hope none will be sen sitive on that point, as we shall treat aU a5ske in that matter, and in doing SO are trying to do what we think is for the inter- >E Ill n,.,. opened for renewal of the subscriptions of our original subscribers, and all who are satisfied with our efforts thus far in making newspaper to represent the interests of Western Litchfeld county, we shall gladly welcome with renewal of their subscrip- tions before the expiration of the year, July 9th, and thus have no {" stopping of their paper. For the generous and unex- pected patronage of the year so nearly past, we have to say to our patrons: we thank you most heartily: You hoUs made as LrP

T. Steele & Son, jewel.

At the time of their removal they will have been establish ed in their present place of business thirty eight years but the steady growth of our city and the increased call for richer and larger assortment of goods in their line, make the present change necessary for their numerous patrons.

While the l'e IrOf--s an inoriiaa.c
love Of S-mbo jl,t HOW, ana accord him
privileges deuioi to Ii, white :. brother, 4"
| all join in dtnu noaiion Of poor John
whose quiet, unobtru.ivc manners are not
always a security against personal indig-
nifty and abuse. 1t is true that John will
steal chickens and cat pork but We main
| tain that these vices are counterbaanced
by the many sterling points Of character
manifested by him. He is industrious,
thrifty and frugal, saves his earnings and
pays for what he gets lie is liberal, jo-
vial, happy and contcnted. Some of his
customs might. without any improperly,
be adopted by our very Christianizcd and
civilized people. For instance, John pays
his debts. As soon after his New Year as
he is free from all demands, when in his
own country, he places over his door an
emblem signifying that he is square with
the world, that his debts are all paid, and
he can cat rice, drink tea, or smoke his
pipe in peace and without fear of the in
tolcrable dun. This custom prevails
throughout the Empire and among all
classes of people, and it is not an unusual
occurrence for Chinaman to commit sui
eide, when he finds himself unable to cx-
% <to las
debtors. IF he lives, it is in perpetual dis
grace and amidst the taunts and jccrs of
his moro fortunate companions.
The New Year of these peculiar people,
which occurs about eleven mouths before
ours, was celebrated last Wednesday md
Thursday, by the popping Of fire crackers
and the usual grand indoor celebration,
at their several places of business. All
who visited them were treated to cigars,
tea, whisky, or all these luxurics, as they
might prefer, and even the children were
supplied with all the swcet-mcats known
to Chinese confcction. In this respect,
as well, We might initiate John and be-
come better people. When, at tho be-
ginning of the New Year, We extead our
greetings to one another, with feelings
of magnanimity towards our fellow-man,
who takes poor John by the hand, or treats
him as he does his "white brethren" few
weeks later? Verify, we can learn much
from those we look upon as scarcely above
beasts of burden, and as of no more con-
sequence in the immortal future that
awaits US all.

FIRE.-An alarm of fire occurred in this
place last Tuesday morning about ten o'clock,
caused by smoke seen issuing from the roof of
General McKenney's office. The FIRE compa-
MES were soon on the ground, but the fire had
been extinguishcd by the application of few
buckets of water before they had fairly arrived
on TIE spot. The fire originated from broom
which had been used to sweep the hearth, and
carelessly set back with Goals Of fire adhering
to it. From this the flames communicated to
a partition and when discovered had reached
the roof.

DsE" A prominent lawyer was hailed while
passing ajewelry store by the proprietor, with
"General, come in here Il moment, we have
something for you to solve. If man brings
his watch to be fixed, and it costs me ten cents
to do it, and keep it week, and charge him
six dollars, what per cent do I make? We
have been figuring, and make it nine hundred
per cent, and have only got up to one dollar.
How much do you say it would be Mt six dol
lars?' "Well," replied the General, 6 do
not wonder at your perplexity; for it is we'll
known, and the celebrated Babbage calcula-
ting machine has demonstrated that at certain
point in progressive numbers the law govern
ing them changes. In this case the law would
change, and long before the sum would reach
six dollars it would run out of per cent. and
into what is known as larceny"
This story illustrates the principle in
volved in the present shave on Territorial
warrants. When but GO cents is offered
for paper bearing 10 per cent. interest, it
certainly looks as if the question of dis
count had run out of per cent, and into
larceuy-grand larceny at that.
