 Particularly TAieuish.-Chcken thieves in Armenia have commenced their summer campaign, and the fastidious scumps are satisfied with nothipg but the choicest hroods.
 Grind Stone Burst.-Last Tuesday morning soon after Mir. Sam Simpson had started his grindstone in the knife factory in Lakeville, it burst, smashing up some parts of the machinery in the room, but fortunately injuring nobody.
 Pinched.-Our local items are again pinched into rather close quarters. What with the Governors message, good lot of village correspondence, and rush of new advertisements, we are pretty much squeezed; yet we hope to remedy the mat ter in a measure next week.
 Leg Broke.-Last Saturday evening as MT. Ralph Mallory of Chapinville was go- ing to the depot in that village to meet his son and wife from Amenia. his little grand son attempted to chamber into the rear end of his wagon, when in some way his leg was caught in the wheel and badly broken.
 AJord M1r6le.-The Hartford Coatyrnt says the Afford (Mass.) marble company have the contract for furnishing the marble 1 for the new state house in that city, which will require GO, 900 cubic feet of stone, and two years time arc allowed for it's compile tion. Part of the marble cutting will be done at Afford, and the remainder will be shipped in the rough and finished there. Ne,o JeOetry.-M. c. Jewell, at the Sal isbury store has just received one of the finest lots of jewelry ever brought into this village. Those misses and ladies' sets, con- sisting of pin and earrings, as well as bracelets, which are adjustable to large or small arm the studs for gentlemen, and in fact everything in that line, are really very pretty, and are not only sold at very low figure, but are ac0rrGnted for three gears.
 Persona1.-While Tn Hartford the other day, we called upon Dr. Blodgett, formerly of this town, whom we found at the cor her of Pearl and Wells streets. The doc tor has very neat, convenient and pleas antly arranged drug store, which is known as the Pearl Street store, and seems to be doing very good business. He of course is very glad to see his Salisbury friends when they visit the city.
 EncourG0ed.-New subscribers to the NEWS continue to come in steadily, and al- most as rapidly as at any time since we started it's publication, and our subscription list is now at least twenty five per cent. lar ger than the average of country journals, which we can truthfulIy say ''doth encour- age us much" Our Sheffield list has grown somewhat of late, and we hope and expect hereafter to make TIE NEWS more than ever interesting to the people of Southern Berk- shire.
 Harrington Enterprise. .-Messrs Girling & Doolittle of Ct. Harrington, who are the most extensive clothing dealers in Southern Berkshire, are again before the readers of THE NEWS with half column advertise ment. These gentlemen are thorough busi : ness men, and are fully awake to the wants of the people. It will pay the "men folks" who contemplate purchase of A0 pi fho o6u onfC if Messrs. Girling & Doolittle their careful attention. Read it: Read it through twice. It is as good as dose of paregoric to quiet your nerves.
 It's c Lie.-Dr. Down, who recently moved from Cornwall Bridge to Wassaic, N. r., says that correspondent in TIE NEWS told people that he left the first named village without paying his bills, and attempted to go away in the night. He says the person who wrote the article owes him the sum of forty eight dollars and sixty one cents, and what he wrote was base lie. As all the correspondents of THE NEWS are widely known as remarkable for their truth and general uprightness of char acter, it grieves our heart to learn that one, (who is the first one ever known) has gone and told lie, and we hasten to publish him l to the world.
 The Peoples Atlas.-Mr. J. c. Sherwood of West Cornwall informs us that he will canvass this town next week for the Peoples Pictorial Atlas, a copy of which we have seen. We desire to call especial attention to this most valuable work, as we are satisfied after 8 thorough examination, that it is the very best that has ever been offered in this region, and sells for price that all can afford to pay. It contains 6fty-two large maps, and each country is described in detail under its respective caption; az for instance; Education, Pro- ducts, Manufactures, Commerce, Climate, Soil, History, Government, Finances, Ge- ology and Mineralogy. besides there are numerous statistical tables, embracing the population by counties, &c., Sc. The his tory of the United States alone brought down as it is to the present time is worth the full price of the book. The maps of foreign countries are brought out apparent ly in the minutest detail, and, unlike any others we eyer before saw, the higAsooys are delineated, which cannot fail of being of intense interest to all of our adopted citizens,-who can trace the travelled high ways with which they were once familiar; especial pains evidently being taken in that interesting feature with Scotland, England, Ireland, France and Germany. The work is well and substantially executed. and con- sidering the cost, only seven dollars, cannot but meet with rapid sale. We ask the readers of THE NEWS to looE at the work
