Western Sheffield.

A very pleasant and agreeable gathering came off at the house of Willis Bartholo- new, last Thursday afternoon, to witness the marriage of Miss Belle Blancett to W. s. Kirkland, of Pittsfeld. Mrs. George Bartholomew and Mrs. M. H. Wickmire. of Sheffield, were also in attendance. The ceremony performed by Rev. G. D. Town send was short and very impressive, after which followed the hearty congratulations of her many friends. An elegant repast, (of which the under-mountain people are always capable of giving,) awaited the at tention of their many guests. The table abounded in rich cakes, and all the delica- cies of the season, strawberries and ice cream predominating. The profusion of rose buds and fragrance of lovely boquets adding to it's joyfulness. The very pretty display of the numerous wedding gifts ex- hibited the interest and regard of the do- nors. Among the most valuable was very handsome chamber sett of china, an ele- gant sett of tea, table and dessert spoons, butter knives, sett of forks, butter dish, call bell, beautiful counterpane, etc., etc. The bridal party took the $40 train at Chapinville, via New Haven, to Springfield
 followed by the good wishes of their friends. C..

These men turn the streets into Babel with their noisy traffic. In handsome building ot dark greenish stone, on California street, IS the Bank of California, the great monie6 institution of the Pacific coast, and one of the most powerful banks in this country. It controls the currency of California, whether wisely or not. When the United States, sorely pressed by it's financial diff culties, passed the legal tender act, Califor- nia, it is said, at the instigation of those controlling this bank, refused to be bound by 1t, and an exception was therefore made in favor of that state. GreenbacRs were legal tender everywhere in the United States except here. never recognized the justice of compelling us to take paper money ani allowing the Calfornans to a specie currency. Gold continues to be the only legal tender, and the bank notes of California, colored yellow, are redeemable in specie. This condition of affairs has begun to operate hardly upon the business of the state, and many thinking men have come to the conclusion that the refusal to accept the legal tender act was an unwise thing.

 The morning rainbow, which, according to the old legends. is said to foretell wet weather, surely has proven false prophet this time, The common cry this way, as elsewhere, is, rain! rain and yet it is withheld. Were it not for our faith that there shall be ''seed time and harvest" many hearts would faint as we look upon the withered fields and dying vegetables. We are enjoying the strawberries, in spite of the drought, though the fruit is smaller and less in consequence......The ladies of the M. E. Church held festival in this village Wednesday evening. That the attendance was good we judge from the fact that one hundred quarts of strawberries and fifteen gallons of ice cream were consumed by the hungry crowd during the evening, besides quantities of rich cake, candies, oranges, &c. The receipts of the evening amount ed to the sum of $l5O.. The floral festi- val of the NJ. E. Sunday School came off Sunday afternoon. The church was hand somely decorated with floral offerings. The exercises consisted of singing and scripture reading by the school, and addresses from the Rev's. Kellogg, Lane and Chipp. It was an occasion of interest to the old as well as to the young. ......As the Fourth" draws nigh we hear of various plans for enjoyment upon that day, but no public celebrations here, save a small show of fire works, which arc expected in the north part of the village, during the evening". extent in our midst, and all await anxiously to hear of the capture of the robbers who have made such bold visits to Southern Berkshire of late.

 Perhaps your readers may like to know more of the history of Canton The great CT portion of the town is devoted to agri- culture, as there is little water power avail able except in the southwest portion of the town. Where the upper portion of the works of the Collins Go. are located was forge and grist mill over hundred years ago. There was also forge as early as that ou the Pennington river little above here, directly below the covered bridge. The terrible floods on this stream previous to 1903 tore away the dams and fofges so frequently that they were not rebuilt af- ter that time. Some of the remains of the old Hume, at the upper forge, are distinctly seen now just under the water, where the timbers are still sound. A man by the name of .lchabod Miller and man by the name of Elliott went into the manufacture of steel as early as l743, just north of where is now Canton Center. There is some of the debris remaining to show where the works stood, near the present saw mill of G. A. Sisson. MT. Miller was the first per son buried in the North Canton cemetery. The manufacture of gunpowder was car ried on for nearly seventy years, less than two miles above Collinsville, on the Ne paug stream, by the Hassard Mills and others, just above where it empties into the Pennington river. Over twenty men were killed by repeated explosions at those mills; the writer saw six manglcd and dead men as the result of two explosions in March and June, 1888. The Conn. Western R. R. runs directly by the old powder mill site, now unused, but is good water privilege for some enterprsing manufacturer. Sher- man Osborn came from Washington, in Litchield county, and established the first manufactory of grave stones, in this sec tion, in Carton in 1920. Mr. O. died in 1863, and his son, Charles s. Osborn, con- tinues the business, and erects some of the finest monuments in this section-in Litch- field and Hartford counties besides SUD- plying orders more remote. Among the prominent Russian names are those ending with nozoff, Romanozoff, Kutmanozoff, etc. Of the latter we might include Ger man named William Nape, in the employ of the Collins company at polishing plant CTS hoes, who, few days since. while at his work, accidentally hit the back of hoe against the swiftly revolving wheel, when the edge of the hoe struck him violently in the face, nearly cutting off his nose, which F., l..
 gical assistance replaced the nasal append age in position, and the doctor says he will make good nose of it yet... Victor Lusk, employed in the cabinet shop in Unionvile, while working with circular saw, June 18th, had his left hand caught and very badly cut, by which he will lose the use of two or more fingers.
