A good days work 1t is not often
that one man is skillful enough to run a
circular saw without an assistant, /. o.,

Quite a number Of our denizens, such
as the would-be-scieutist were up at 4
O'Clock Monday morning, 10 witness the
, total eclipse Of the moon. Unfortunate
, ~ for them, aud probably Others in ad-
joining towns, the sky was covered with
= heavy clouds and all the token that in
dlcated to them that the eclipse was ac-
f tually taking place, was the unusual
darkness which came over the face of the
earth! They were acquainted with the
"sigus Of the times, " 10 doubt.
. One of our acquaintance received
letter last week from friend "out
West" aud on opening it found lock OF
an Indians hair enclosed, which had been
! cut from the head Of the red-skin by the
writer of the letter, after being killed by
. him. The closing lines Of tho letter were
as follows: of this envelope was only
, large enough, would send you the whole
J scalp, but as il is not, must be content
, by sending one lock of the stiff, long
black hair, which you will please keep
= for me and remember it as a trophy of
, my victory while engaged in fierce
, struggle with a Modoc! | conquered, as
, you doubtless, readily apprehend."
We enjoyed a ride on the B. & G.,
Il. Il. few days since, to Glastonbury
and give the following report: Glasten-
5 bury, at the terminus OF the Bennington
& Glastonbury railroad, seems to be a
iavorte resort for recreation and amuse-
ment, as the season advances. 1t has, OF
late, become the custom OF the managers
to have the passenger car attached to the
train-which consists generally of lumber
and coal cars-for the purpose Of accom-
modatng those who have desire for
viewing the romantic in the wilds OF
Glastonbury. We say in the wilds -
but let as tell what is now being done
