 Clean Coag'-H. J. Wilbur wishes us to say to all who want screened coal, entirely free from dust and dirt, at $S. co per tun for Stove size, and $7.5O for Chestnut, to call Ut his coal yare in this village. lwlO Lost c Horse.-Last Saturday afternoon, one of span of horses belonging to Mir. | Wilbur, the coal man, was taken suddenly sick from some unknown cause, and died the following (Sunday) morning.

The Colvocoresses insurance | case, which was to have been tried at the September term of the superior court at Litchfield this week, is necessarily post poned so as to give the interested parties more time to take dispositions.

 l First Frost.-The first frost of the sea- son paid it's respects to all sensitive plants last Monday morning. Exactly how much tobacco is not yet under cover we have not learned, but very likely there is a great deal, as this frost has come much earlier than usual, and is very severe one. ! A%eCNVttcN@AcU thas Vineyard, of train on Hurtford, Prov idence and Fishkil R. R., with morning I train from Millerton is discontinued for l this season. The connection for Provi- dence, Boston, Newport and New Bedford | are the same as before, and are as good as they can be.

 Harrington Cattze oD.-CAttle Show and Fair in Ct. Harrington next Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, 24th, 18th and 26th instant. The usual attractions will undoubtedly draw the :usual crowds Howe's Band of Bridgeport furnishes the music, and Alexander Hyde, Esq of Lee, delivers the address.
 Being Repaired Tieknor disyict school house is being thoroughly oyert .aul- ed and repaired. New desks and chairs are to be provided, and all made ve " con- fortable for the little folks. People are be- coming more and more civilized in regard to these things, and the comfort of children at school is now receiving almost as much of the attention of the older ones, as the cattle, sheep and swine of our thrifty far mers always have.
 Sq~sare5 Huntisq. q.-Mr. Ed. Negus, who is becoming quite extensively known as Q hunter, discovered squirrel in the top of veyy high tree the other day on the mrjuntain east of this village. Thinking that ons barrel of his double-barrel gun would not carry the shot high enough to hit the squirrel, fired both barrels simulta- neously. Result: A large hole in the rim of his hat, and peeled scalp. The squir- rel is still wondering what he made such laundering big noise for.
 Pears.-The Messrs. Bushnell Brothers of Lakeville are undoubtedly the largest pear growers in this section of the country. Their immense pear orchard, overlooking Lake Wononscopomoc, is one of the im- portant features of their husbandry. They tell us they now have to sell to whomso- ever wants, something like one hundred and seventy five barrels, embracing all the choicest varieties of pears. Address or call on H. or G. Bushnell, Lakeville, and they will give further particulars. ! Champion Hog Iamer. - How about r this? On the premium books of the Falls
 Village Cattle Show this year, the first pre-
 mium under the caption, Mechanical Pro auctions" is recorded as follows: t "Andrew Spur, hog tanner, 25 cents.' This is indeed a remarkable record, but what seems more strange still, is that such slim premium should be awarded to the , champion hog tanner of the county. Vel = -but-what does thls mean, anywsyG
 Difference S7, PEaees.-There seems to bt
 g different way in domestic life of telling l, the same thing. You can't sometimes mos
 always tell, but the lady who tapped hel
 husband gently with a fan at the cattle show
 the other day, and said, Glove, it's grow !" ing late, think we had better go home, 't is the same one who after getting hom' IS shook the rolling pin under his nose an' I said, "You internal old scoundrel you, i T. you ever look at that mean, nasty, calico
 faced, mackerel-eyed thing that you looked
 at to-day, I'll bust your head wide open. !" Union Era.-The Union Era has be come one of the very best Class publication
 of the day. Its typography, engraving ,- and general appearance is similar to th |A AyIZ:n. -ub;oh ovorvhrsdv kn0vya ia sec0n
