 Our roads are being repaired. The village square has been trimmed of it's ex- tra turf, teams>are at work elsewhere and there is great need of work everywhere. We do not imagine anything serious is the matter with the bridge over the Bantam on the Wolcottville road; but it's south west cOrneT wiggles so queerly that the horse you are driving homo over 1t is apt to he of different opinion.
 The landlord of our two hotels is of opinion that Messrs. Eaton, Harrison & Co, who laugh at his portrait of Lincoln are better judges of shad than they are of paintings.

Goodwin, of East Hartford, bangs around among charters and legis- lative jobs at New Haven; and as the edi- tor is struggling of an evening with the confusion of Congressional finance, five or six of these companionable creatures, are struggling in the confusion of his ''back hair, and tempting him by lying fiat on their backs on his paper, and diving down has lamp chimney, and finding out whether his collars are a good fit, and crawling up the flesh of him just above the boot leg. Then they sour tho tenn per of his wife, and knock his daughter off the piano stool, and bring unexpected profanity out of his son; and when one dies, like Masons or Sons of Temperance, they come in procession to his funeral, and dozen of them sing all sorts of Bass discOrds just as hideously as so many hassoons in the most incomprehensible passages of the Music of the Future. Thank heaven, the reign of the June Bug is short
