A Coon MOvE.-Messrs. John W.
Spaulding, Charles +. Allen and Levi
ID. Mmisey have bought the Fisk age
duct and springs. The aqueduct Is to
be all laid new the present season in a
substantial manner that will ensure
n never failing supply of water.
Frank Simpson, brakeman and bag
gage master on the ID. c. & NJ. Rail-
road had bis hand quite severely in
jured recently. He was endeavoring
to tighten the break when it slipped
back and his hand was caught between
the spokes and quite badly smashed.
We noticed passing through our
streets one day last week a very large
and fine looking two-year-old bull, of
the Dutch breed, which we learned on
inquiry was the property OF our form
or tOwnsman Capt. j. |. Williams, and
that he slipped the beam" at 1890.
He was purchased by Capt. Williams
of F. ID. Beede a year ago for S25.
There never was apparently great
err demand for tenement houses in our
village than now. We know of no less
than a dozen families who are in pur-
suit Of houses at the present time,
most of whom live in other towns but
desire to remove here. What an eX-
cellent opportunity for our wealthy
citizens to invest some Of their sur
plus capital and thereby secure a
good rate of interest, while benetiting
their town. Who will move in the
matter!
