MIDDLEBURY.
-Messrs. Langworthy & Martin, ma
chinists, have purchased a lot near the
new freight depot, upon which they in
tend erecting foundry and machine
shop. The location is a good one, and
in a few years they will be surrounded
by large population, as there is strong
tendency to locate in that part Of the
village. Their works will be run by
steam. These men are most excellent
workmen, and will, | have no doubt. do
a large and successful business.
There are at present confined in our
county Jail three persons-two men and
one woman. or girl, about IS years of
age, viz. Joseph Bushee, from Monk
ton, and John Person. from Goshen, both
charged with horse stealing. The girl is
Emma Potter from MonktOn. charged
with RIGHTEOUSNESS. Our Jail is now in
charge of Mr.. w. II. Cobb, a most ex-
cellent man, Mr. Jacob Dewey. who
has been our iailer for the past twelve
years. having resigned. Mr.. Cobb was
appointed to fill his place. Mr.. Dewey
gave good satisfaction, and, have no
doubt, Mr.. Cobb will prove a capable
and reliable officer. He served his cOun-
try in the war against the rebellion with
faithfulneSs, and now enjoys the con-
fidence and regard of his fellow-citiZens.
The second quarterly meeting of the
VI. +. Church of Middlebury was held
last Sabbath. The exercises were con-
Quoted in the absence of the presiding
elder, by Rev. w. H. Neeker, who
preached a capital sermon on the divin-
ity and humanity of Christ. Eight per-
sons united with the church upon the
quarterly occasion. The repairs upon
the church are rapidly approaching com
pletion, and are of a valuable character.
Henry NJ. Slade. ESQ. who has for
six weeks past been with US on a visit to
his friends, returned to Washington city
the past week. Mr.. Slade is largely en-
gagged in the settlement of pension
claims. making that a speciality in his
business. VS. CANDoR.

PITTsFoRD.
Potatoes are down. Every farm
er's face shows that plain enough. The
ruling prices are from 30@35c- / see
about one thousand bushels in the depot
that cost some one SOC per bushel, which
looks bad for much profit on them. The
shipments up to date are about 10000
bushels.
Butter is bringing good prices. Fall,
3O@31c; good, 2S@30c; dairy, summer
and fall, 24@30c. Shipments to-day,
$500 lbs.
Eggs do not come in as freely as
they did month ago. Price, 25c per
dozen.
The Congregational Sabbath school
enjoyed a pleasant trip to the depot in
this town one day last week. They were
expecting to go to TicOnderoga, but, for
some reason, did not. Everything bid
far for pleasant day and grand time.
"CARL."
Saturday evening last being the 25th
anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and
Mrs Henry T. Lathrop, the occasion
was improved, not in the presentation of
costly presents-the glittering products
/ of the mine-but in what must have
been much more satisfactory to them
the manifestation of the esteem and the
best wishes of host of friends. Early
in the evening their spacious residence
was well filled with people from all parts
of the town, and several from adjoining
towns, who had gathered to congratulate
them upon the prosperous completion OF
their first quarter century of nuptial
life. After extending congratulations
and an hour of social enjoyment, the
doors of the dining hall were thrown
open, and the guests invited to table:
heavily laden with the most tempting
products of the culinary art and the
richest fruits of the season. The repast
was evidently enjoyed by all, and wheE
the inward wants were satisfied, ittlC
impression had apparently been made
upon the source of supply. blr. LathroT
came here from Easton, Mass, in 1874
to take charge of some real and persona
property, in which his father had made
considerable investment, and, becoming
pleased with the location, he decided L
make Pittsford his permanent abode
Four years later he married a Pittstord
lady, Eleanor, daughter of Starges Pen
