 As UsuaL-An anonymous correspond ence received from Cream Hill this week. Chucked in the waste basket as usual. Nice; isn't it? Worth three cents pound
 Thomas Almanac.-Thona as' old Far mer's Almanac for 1875, published by Brewer and Tileston. Boston, is received. No well-regulated family can be happy without it.
 Still Another.-The compiler of the record of aged people in The News last week, failed to get the name and age of Mrs. Eye Pixley, of Twin Lakes she be- ing eighty three years old and fully entitled to place among the rest.
 : Dead.-The new Bridgeport morning pa per, the Morning News, after an existence of one short month, expired last Saturday. Cause; lack of advertising patronage. The Ne,os has been a spicy little sheet, and we regret exceedingly to see it go down.
 Removal.--Edward W. Seymour, of Litchfield, son of Chief Justice Seymour, and well known throughout the state as one of the ablest lawyers now at the bar, is a. bout to remove to Bridgeport and there O. pen an office for the practice of his profes- sion.
 Large Tree.-A worthy subscriber tells us that willow tree stands in his yard which measures fifteen feet in circum- ference, and desires very much to have somebody, who is versed in the growth ot trees, to tell him it's probable age. Who will do it through THE NEWS?
 Take Care of Those Boys.-It is only a matter of time and the price of coffin.- Some of the boys seen so frequently about the depot ln this village, catching on the trains as they are switching, will lead a procession to our new cemetery in few days. 'Twont take much longer to do it.
 The 70. F." Folks.-Once again the 70. F." Clothing store advertisement looms up in the columns of THE NEWS. People from this way, who go to Barring, ton to buy clothing, are always well treated at the 70. F." Store. Messrs. Girling & Doolittle somehow possess faculty of sel, ling most excellent goods at very low pri cea, and they are largely patronized, as they deserve to be.
 Enami and The widder.-We have re- ceived communication from ''Enami, in reply to the Warren Widder's letter of last week, and feel compelled, on account of the harsh feeling that is becoming mani fest, to decline publishing anything further in the matter.

 The Iron Business.-Landon & Co.,, of Chapinville. have not started thelr furnaces yet. and don't know exactly when they will start up. MT. Horace Landon told us the other day they have $s5, ,OOO worth of iron, charcoal and ore on hand, awaiting the re- \ vival of the iron business, which he hopes lis not far off, yet does not feel over san- guine about it. He thinks iron must oe made cheaper before it will sell largely again; ore must cost less and labor mus ! come down.
 Flower Culture.-One of the finest bo auets we have seen lately was culled iron he garden of Mrs. John A. M'Arthur o1 ihis village last Thursday afternoon. Mrs MArthur, in sending it to us at tlm' twhen it would be just too lute to allude t' in last weeks NEWS, thought we woult forget to make mention of it by the tim' another week had past, and she was right We shall not say anything about it; no not a word about her remarkable success in the cultivation and management of he garden which is almost an Eden of beauty even at this late time in the season.
