 the proper credit, and in the event of an error t.
 inform us for correction at once. No claims fo

 date to which the subscription is paid plainl,

 ceptance as correct. J. L. PEAsE.
 Gone to Massaohusetts.-Dr. Blodgett
 formerly of this village, has removed tt
 Housatonic, Mass, and engaged in prac-
 tlce there.
 More Snow.-Did you sec the snow storm last Wednesday? We did. It 6idn't snow enough to blockade the railroads; but it showed. -....
 New Magazine.-Now Bridgeport has 6 monthly magazine, known as the Bridge port Monthly. F.G. Hughes is the pub fisher. -...
 Crematory Age.-'O, ma ma! John ny's got the urn and is spilling pas ashes oyer the floor! o, what naughty John. ny! Get the feather duster and sweep
 your poor father right up!'
 Oar Aocident.-Philip King, brakeman on one of the local freight trains on the Housatonic road, while coupling cars at West Cornwall last Thursday, got caught between them and his shoulder broken.
 Sunday Gardening.-Someo of the peo- pie of Chapinville are so industrious, they make their gardens on Sunday. We de- sire to ask them fairly and squarelY: Does it pay? Come now; ''honor bright" you know.
 Shoulder Dislooated.--As Dr. Camp of Ct. Burlington was driving through that village last Wednesday afternoon, his horse became frightened, and springing suddenly to one side, threw him out of the buggy and dislocated his shoulder.
 A Rascal Caught.-Edward Macy, who with others entered house in Lenox. Mass, some months since, gagged an old lady and robbed her of $1, 700, was arrest ed by New York detectives in New York city, and delivered to Massachusetts offl cers last Saturday.
 Railroad Time.-Trains on the Conn, Western road commenced running on New York time last Tuesday, the difference from their old time (Hartford time) being about six minutes slower. We are in formed all the roads in the state have come to an understanding about time, and have adopted New York time as their running time.
 Fine Goods.-Mr. s. c. Beckley of Ca naan, who has given especial attention to the department in his merchantilc business known as the fancy dress goods depart ment, has unquestionablY the largest as. sortment of really fine goods such as none but ladies of refinement and taste can ap- preciate, of any country store in the region. At least, so we are informed by those from this way. who have been to his store and seen them.
 A Fair Bargain.-MR. EDITOR will give you two dollars if you will change the date on the colored slip which is pasted on my paper, from April 18th, "A to April 18th, '76. Very truly yours,
 H. A. STANARD.
 Norfolk, May 18th, 1874.
 We'll do it sir; and by way of odd change will say: 'sYou are a gentleman and scholar" Where is the next man who dares to make us another such an offer.
 Eating the Fences.-The horses belong ing to the meeting folks are "eating up' the new fences on both sides of the Con gregational church in this village. As new sheds are being erected near by, it is hoped the practice of hitching to fences will be before the fences so recently erected are G3 gone. Give your horses a change of diet: A good .'square meal" of oats. hay or grass would doubtless be an agreeable change from this steady diet of board fence. Try it.
 Decoration Day.-For two or three years Decoration Day has come and gone | with little or no observance of it on the | part of our citizens. This ought not to | happen again. Certainly, the soldiers who went from Old Salisbury are as de- serving of honor as any who served in the great war, and it is a disgrace to us if we do not at least once year, testify in some | way our respect for those who sacrificed ! their lives. We are glad to learn that it is l to celebrate the day this year in | some fitting manner, and we shall endeavor next week to give full details of the plan.
 The Collinsville Burglary.-James c. Rice, the Collinsville burglar, was taken from his quarters in the jail on Saturday before United States Commissioner Waldo for an examination on the charge of break ing into the post-off1ce in that place on the night of April 27th, when other burglaries were committed there. The government was represented by Lewis E. Stanton, as sistant district attorney, and the prisoner by Wm. l.. Eaton. The jimmy found upon the accused ct the time of his arrest in Bridgeport was exhibited, and also the small piece of steel found in Collinsville. which exactly fits the point of the tool. There was strong testimony to back up the jimmy business, nno ru;fnoos <aS%;fx,src &l l o ,a,,, x.-,o
