West COrasoGW FVundry.-The new foundry at West Cornwall is completed, and the managers announce themselves in readiness to do all manner of casting. from cast iron button to a cannon. Their large dam across the Housatonic river is repaired, requiring the labor of great number of men, seven weeks to complete it. Messrs. Mallison 6 Co. are enterprising men and will drive business there on successful basis, if anybody can.
 That Book-Col. Hubbard, who is sell ing the book, Underground, or Life Be- low the Surface," is meeting with splendid success, having already sold great number of the work, part of which he has deliv- cred, and we are told that people are very we'll satisfied indeed with their books when they get them. The Colonel has most excellent work to sell, and he is worthy the extensive patronage he IS getting. We hope all who have not yet seen the book, will at least look at it when they have an opportunity.
 BullheGd HStchipg Posts.-Mr. T. D. Brewster of Peru, Illinois, told us when there short time since, that when he first moved there in 1885, fish were very plenty in the Illinois river, and the few inhabitants could easily supply themselveswith all they wanted for their tables, and added, with a peculiar twinkle of his eye, that bullheads grew SO large there, the people caught them to get their horns for hitching posts. Of course none of his old acquaintances East would doubt the truth of this assertion in the slightest degree.
 Beat 'Ena Agaiaa.-We had something to say last week of the exploits of the Lone Stars of this village, when they 6eGt CD the Ashley Falls club; they getting twenty seven runs to the Ashley Falls boys torty- seUen. This week we have to record their trial with the second nine of their own club last Saturday afternoon. After working pretty hard, they made out to get S6 runs to the 2nd nine Al. Isn't there some mistake somewhere? Isn't what is now known as the 2nd nine, in reality the lst? Things are mixed arn't they?

 FEshing.-Mr. Joseph Eggleston of Win sted, with two or three gentlemen from Hartford have been camping out on the banks of the Twin Lakes for few days past, enjoying the good fishing in those waters and most excellent success have they met with, judging from the reports from there those who saw the fish say they have caught great number, ane among them some very large bass, some ot them weighing four pounds apiece. D. T W arner, Esq, w. B. Cutting and one ol two others went fishing in the lake on Mt Riga few days since and caugh about 175 pickerel, perch, &c.,, some O. the pickerel weighing three pounds apiece Police Court.-We have worked pretty hard to make an item out of the cases tha came before the police court in this village last Monday, but somehow the story as WI should have to tell 1t would be in the olt stereotyped language of lawyers question: and witnesses replies. as for instance :- ''Did you see him deliver the cider? Wha side of the house did he drive on? If you boy started off to deliver the cider as pc your order and although he never befor failed to do errands faithfully and correct ly when they were entrusted to him, if yo' didn't see him deliver that cider, how d. you know he actually delivered it to tn defendant Well, but what if he dld sa, on his return that he delivered it; you di, n't see him deliver it and how do you knov he did deliver it p That is about the sun and substance of that case. If the lawye worked himself up to be madder mal than the witness, it was because he ha more practice and knew how better. Tn other case was as usual Rum got loos and abused another woman, calling her d
 manner of complimentary names, beside singing things around generally. Fine
 one dollar and costs: in all about $17.OC
