CHESTER

ID. Ell. Maxfeld, ESQ.,, has recently
returned from the ssBoston Eye and Ear
Infirmary," where he has been under
treatment. A skillful operation, which
was successfully performed, has restored
the sight of one of his eyes, and, with
the aid of Cataract" glasses, he is now
enabled to read very fine print.
The summer has fully set in. Peo-
pie of the cities, people of business, as

Gently returned to Chester, and are now
domiciled with mine host Ingraham of
the Chester House. Tell it not in Gath,

to turn your faces homeward, we will
bid you "God-speed Come, then, and
get a glimpse of your country cousins.

in exchange with Mr. Ayers, preached
two sermons at the brick church wrek
ago last Sabbath. Mr.. K has been aCler-
gyman more than forty years. Twenty
years he held the paStOrate of the First

weeks since that the commissioners to
whom was referred the johnson road
and bridge question, decided in favor of
the petitioners. They ruled that the
town should pay three thousand dollars
towards the construction of said road
and bridge. 1t is probable that if the
county court susUains the compromise it
will 90 to the Supreme Court for adju-
dication.
