WIS. Fleming of the Central House,
Ticonderoga, ever alive to the wants OF
his hosts Of patrons, is now making very
extensive repairs on his house, and when
completed it will. be one of the best mo-
tells in that section. He is putting up
one entire new story. This gives him
fourteen good, large, light and well-ven-
tilated rooms An observatory twelve
feet square, overlooking the country for
miles IN every direction. A new YER
anda will replace the old one. New
paint and paper throughout. In fact,
nothing will be left undone that is re-
quired to make it what I'll" has so
long needed, first-classs hotel. ''BilP'
is very popular as landlord, and his
friends will be glad to hear of him In
this ''New Departure. F"

Last Saturday night the dwelling
house, lately purchased by Toby Butler,
of Barney Cannon, situated on Proctor,s
Hill, so-called, was consumed by fire.
We understand that the building was
fully insured.
Frank Holden, lad about sixteen
years of age, who ran away from his
home in this town, some two weeks
since, had not been heard from at last
accounts.
The most enjoyable affair of the sea-
son thus far was an "oyster supper"
given last Saturday night by Moses Har-
rington. The members of the East Wal
lingford band and their ladies with a
few select friends were invited. Any
one who has ever partaken of Uncle
Moses hospitality knows that sShis sup
pers can't be beat" and will not doubt
our word when we say that the oysters
were the finest we ever tasted. When
we noticed our friends, the Merchant
and Wesley among the guests, the Query
to our mind was did Mr. Harrington s
enviable reputation for hospitality at
doubt that H. NJ H., or j. H.,,could
answer the query .l5l.. I.
- Here is our hoped for bear story
Three Mount Holly sportsnen visited
sFOld Saltash" few days since On
their return they announced that they
had found and killed q good sized CUB and
displayed some '.paws" as proof. Exam
nation of these paws leaves one to infer
that those hunters have discovered one
of dame natures strangest freaks. That
cub actually wore porcupine claws. Let
all shear story tellers now ''pause and
consider or consider the pawsfi.
