Cornwall.
 News items are as scarce as showers ia Cornwall, but lest some one would think the place had gone out of existence, I pen few lines to let them know that we still live and breathe once in while. The boarders have nearly all gone from the Ho- tel de Goldfish, the proprietor thereof think ing the French method of cooking too ex- pensive, discharged his French cook and employed the services of highly colored cook instead. The boarders having become accustomed to the delicately favored cod fish balls of the former, could not stand the strongly favored ones of the latter, hence the decline. Several of our young men went to camp meeting. They report good time, all but the dust, which they say was one of the drawbacks....T The Hampton singers are expected in Cornwall on Thurs day, the 17th inst. The advance sale of reserved seats commenced on Monday last. We understand all of the. best seats have been engaged by the inhabitants of that part of Cornwall noted for their literary culture and self-conccit The tobacco crop is all secured, and the owners feel easier, and what is singular, not plant has been gathered but what was very ripe.

 The many attractions possessed by Go- shen for spending the warm months pleas antly have been fully appreciated this sea- son by our summer friends, who are now returning to their homes and business, strengthened and refreshed by their sojourn on the hills.

From the car, along the ditch and up to the level ground, track was laid, and was there connected with the switch. The car was righted, and the wheels, all of which had been torn off, replaced; after which the car was drawn along this tempo rary track on to the switch. We hear that the railroad company paid $500 to lady and her two daughters who were hurt. The railroad company is liable, as the workmen on their road while repairing bridge had torn down part of the fence of the mead ow where the COW was kept, and had neg lected to put it up again. 0.

The 'Whangdoodle Band of this place was out in full force last Saturday night. their object being to serenade couple re- gently returned from their wedding trip. The band was warmly received with vol ley of stones from a relative of the bride, but their stunning reception did not dis hearten in the least the serenaders who had firmly resolved to do their duty, and who did not disperse until after giving the hap pY couple the full order of exercises, be- ginning with a solo Oh fifty SIX and end ing with a full chorus. A man lately mar ried and residir g in one of the suburbs of this town, brought into his domicil one day not long since, codfish weighing fourteen pounds. His bride, young and inexperi- enced, proceeded to make it into codfsh balls; fried and served the whole, in num- Der 130. for dinner. On fish balls the couple subsisted until the number was re- duced to 5,when the husband, lest the lar der should get low, bought piece of beef and carried it home. The beef was served for dinner, when the generous provider, probably to see that nothing was wasted, ,in- quired why they didn't finish the fish balls, and keep the beef till tomorrow Fish
 balls ? replied the bride, why had them for my luncheon' Honest John says the
 fact that one of the fair sex can eat 35 fish balls for luncheon and then have good ap- petite for dinner, is enough to discourage single men like hlm from contemplating matrimony. .... SoL. .

You speak of the feeling expressed by one of the old hunkers of Sheffield, about bankrupting the town by the erecting of a bridge on part of it, over the Konkapot river in this village. The cost of it was less than SPOOL! Years ago man lost his life by defect of the bridge at that place. l suppose that some people would prefer 10
 incur the same risk rather than lay out similar expense......The good people of the Street. are not a little ilhberal in the treatment of the people ot this village. We had new school house, which was demol- ished by the tornado. When it was neces- sary to rebuild it, objection was made to the size and cost, ard about half of the appro- priation was made for it This is poor economy. We inform our friends in the Street. that we are growing, and bye and by we shall need second story in order to grade the schools. Again, there are sev- eral places of burial in town--one in each village. The one here is full, and we need new one. We proposed to form an asso- citation. and procure and ornament a suitable cemetery, and we applied to the town to set apart spot of ground for the purpose. We we were told by the town that we could carry our dead up town or under the mountain,' and bury them there; and they refused our request. We think that this is rather hard upon us. It is so, especially for the poor. The law requires the town to fI1rnieh n1I 10 oY,1 place several miles away from the village. On hearing of this accounts gentleman rec marked that the spirit of the town remind ed him of a story of colony. A number of people started for the West to form colony, and for that purpose they took with them a varety of all trades and occu- pations. A stranger, visiting their encamp- ment, inquired of their several occupations, and was answered: This is our parson, our lawyer, our joiner, our doctor,' SSc. sc. But, said the stranger, who is this old skinny, mummy-looking relic of former age? and what do you carry him so far for 7? Why, we carry him out with us to start grave yard We fear that our up town friends, feeling that they. are growing seedy, and that we are on the gain, are de- termined that if they cannot gain living increase they are determined to prosper in the catacomb business, But seriously, it becomes our friends to be little more iib- eral to the out parts of the town. We made mistake when the town was divid- ed, that the line was not run east and west; and if they are determined to persevere in sad acts of meanness we shall propose to set up for ourselves in new town by the name of .,. s ASHLEY FALLS.
