TIE BLUE SToRE.-This is the title of the extensive and complete emporium just opened by the ''Bostou Square dealing, one price clothing house, (recently at No. 35S Main SD on Asylum, near the corner of Main street, Hartford, and among it's stock will be found all the new styles of clothing as soon as placed on the market, together with full line of gents furnishing goods, ID endless variety. This is branch of Jordan, Clark & Co.'s great wholesale clothing establishment, of Boston, and con. sequently its stock IS invariably kept up to the standard, ali the latest novelties in cut and material being forwarded from the main house without any delay, thereby en- abling the patrons of the Hartford branch to secure ready-m clothing of any grade, quality or new style desired, in every res pect equal to custom-made garments and at prices much cheaper. The immense busi- ness of the home house enables the firm ..to manufacture their clothing at an advantage by making large purchases of material at low rates, while a thoroughly organized manufacturing department results in great saving in the making up. Consequently, they are enabled to place their goods on the market at surprisingly low rates, and the extent of their business, among all classes, leads them to give special attention to the manufacture of the finer grades of clothing, as well as to lower grades for working people. Supplied in this way, the stock of the Blue Store is unsurpassed in variety by any other in the city, and val uable feature is the fine assortment of clothing for boys. The opening of the fall and winter stock at the Blue Store has just taken place and there is already good rush of buyers, attracted by the display of new styles and at reasonable prices. There has been issued to the Salisbury patrons ''Pic- toral Advertiser" of four pages, replete with spicy reading matter and amusing pictures, and devoting considerable space to the details of the stock in the Blue Store, It is we'll worthy of pcrusal.

MT. Mitchell Builds.-Mr. R R. Mitch

MT. Mitchell Builds.-Mr. R B. Mitch ell, formerly of this town, but for some years resident of Chicago, has just built him very fine residence in that city, as his friends hereabout will be glad to know The Chicago Evening Journal, in alluding to real estate and building on Arlington Heights, alludes to Mir. Mitchell's residence as follows:
 MT. R. IS. Mltchelps residence, near com pletion, being built on the highest ground in the subdivision, is worthy of especial mo- tlce; situated in the center of two-acre block, it is commanding structure of fine exterior and very convenient and pleasant in it's internal arrangements. The grounds surrounding it are to be handsomely orna- mented with shrubhery and shade trees, which, when completed, will make it one of the most attractive residences in the place.
 The Ross Boy at Crareyville.-As all parts ot the country have had their Ross boy, it would be hardly fair to allow our section to remain out in the cold. The Veritaole Ross boy, who was abducted from his parents in Philadelphia some months since, and who has been Hound" in vari- ous parts of the country ever since, was again captured last Tuesday, and this time at Crarcyvllle, a few miles from Millerton ln New York state. He is reported to have been found in charge of a man who ap- peared to be slightly deranged, but who manifested sufficient degree of sanity to make good his escape from those who at tempted to arrest him. The lad was taken by an officer to New York, to be informed, as all the others have been, that he was not the lost Charlie Ross.
 LATER.-A Philadelphia dispatch late Tuesday night says: The child found in Craryville, Columbia county, N. Y, is not Charley Ross.

In "Days of Yore."-A writer in the Hartford C0urant, under the caption of ''Notes Of a rambler in Western Connectl cut, says: "Thc town of Norfolk has much better reputation now than it had in 1742. Out of the fifty proprictors who bought the township that year, forty nine surrendered their rights and sacrificed their purchase money when they came to see what rough, cold, rocky spot it was.
 Four hundred and seYenty-fo students were educated in the law school at Lltch- field, by Judges Reeve and Gould. A con- siderable number were from the south, and the old people of Goshen, six miles from Litchfield, remember their splendid figure and equipage as they came to town for dinner or hop. A majority of them were not pledged to total abstinence
 Among the departed glores of Litchfield is the old stage coach superseded by rail- roads. They talk of stages still but they mean square wagon, not much encum- bered by with springs, running between the depot and hotel. The Albany coach, as I remember it fifty years ago, was stupen- dous institution. The driver ranked next to brigadier general, The horn, the whip, the flourish at the hotel, in all approaches and departures, were marvels in the eyes of small boys, never to be seen again on those hills.
 An apple tree still living and fruitful in the town of Canton, suggests to the older members of a certain family the style of do- mestic discipline in vogue sixty years ago. The tree was then seedling of one sum- mer's growth. On Sabbath evening before sundown, two children of the family spicd the little sprout and transplantcd it to bet ter ground. Discipline was promptly ad- ministered, the young tree being pulled up by the father and used instead of birch. Be f~re it was quite dark, the boys found the cast off saplng and planted it second time in good soil where it still thrives.

REMARKABLE PERFoRMANcEs.-The New London Telegram says: MT. Walter A. Brown of Port Hamilton arrived here on the boat last night all we'll, and regularly enough went into the depot restaurant, where something sudden and stupendous came over him, for he precipitated himself from the chair and commenced thrashing about with his gold headed cane in terrific manner, making deep dents in the chairs and counter. This done he dashed for the crowd, who gave him ground with pru- dent celerity. Next he tore down Water street, shouting and hallooing in horrible manner. He halted near water hydrant, took off his finger rings and threw them away, smashsd his watch against the brick wall and then commenced 10 rapidly dis robe himself, pants, coat, vest, shirt and underwear, and in a few minutes he was al- ready to sit as statue of Adam in Eden. He next sat down upon the hydrant, artis- tically attired in his own neat fitting skin, and commenced striking two Jumps of coal together, as if he was learning the cymbals in country brass band. MT. Gavitt of the Thames hotel approached him in gentle manner and demonstrated with him for making so much noise. MT. Brown took this brotherly hint in the right spirit, for he fell upon MT. Gavitt's shoulder and tender. ly embraced him with Spanish warmth, protesting that he recognized in his linea- ments long lost brother, and that hence
 forth and forevermore they should 'trayel in twaln.' MT. Gavitt reminded MT. Brown that he was naked. Upon this timely sug- gestion Brown plunged into the mud, as g | sacrifice for decency's sake and rolled about
 in very saucy manner. Day was break ing and the first color of dawn and rec enamelled the epidermis of the exposed Port Hamiltonian. Policeman Shepard arrested Brown, who struggled vigorously
 and was as 1.-the as an eel. After his cap
 ture, however, it struck him that MT. Shep
 ard was his brother. and he hugged tha
 gentleman in paroxyism of genuine joy and gratitude, This morning MT. Browr describes his adventure as war dance, 'ant thinks that with cooler weather and al abundant harvest he will be able to giv' the war dance in full with the watermelon gripe.' In the opinion of the physician
 who visited the station house, the unhapp, man is an escaped lunatic from an asylum

The Poor Widder.-NR. EDITOR. In last weeks NEWS had the pleasure ot noticing Luna Ys. Enami. do no: see how Luna quite dare call her friend Jane Ann Simp- son such names as poor Widder Simpson, when she owns farm, dairy, together with tobacco, and her husbands clothes, and again unequivocally, the uneducated and unsophisticated Jane Ann Simpson. It seems to me that she will not learn refine ment through the public press. Luna should go and see her and try to correct her taste, and show her especially by speech and gesture that there can be no refinement in her husbands old clothes, and in friend ly point of view, soon, for however early she may see her have no doubt she will find her soliloquizing, thus;
 Luna and have bloWed our horn In vain, to be loved by one worthy; l have seen to my dairy in the early morn, And my tobacco had set-out early. The worms ravished upon my weed, My crop will be very small; Upon my dairy must rely instead, Since husbands old clothes prove to be nothing at all.
 To make up for tobacco must cut down
 my pines,
 Then forever my piano forte is ruined; The chorus of my horn no longer will winds Wait OCT the hills of Warren. Oh! the power thought there was in old
 clothes
 l now wish bad hung them in my corn, For sure they are nothing but to drive away beaux,
 And leave me alone and forlorn. ENAMl.
