To the people of AshlEbli4 aud vicin-
ity, we would say that we have sold the
baanch gallery a. Ashlabula, to Mr.
Skuu recently of the firm of Skutt d
Palmer of of Painesvills. am happy
to know that il is going into hands
that will not let the work of the gallery
depreciale in merit, for know him to be
q first class artist Perhaps it would not
be amiss to hear what one Of your own
townsmen says of Mr.. Skult, for am
sure the able pen of j. Edwards Smith is
better qualified TO the task than my OWE .
In letter TO the Paincsvillc Telegraph OF
June 10th, he says:
'I had often heard of Mr.. Skutt, had
seen some of his marvellous retouching
when he was with Ryder, and Paines-
vile friends had sent me beautiful speci
mems of his work when in the employ of
Mr.. Tibbsls. AS retouching artist, Mr..
Skutt has no equal. Charmed with the
exquisite beauty of his work. 1 delayed
my stay in PainesVille to place myself
under Mr.. Skutts instruction, and thanks
TO his courtesy and attention, it proved
time well spent"
l would say that his work will speak
for Itself.
Thanking you for your liberal patron
age, am, respectfully,
H. W. TIBBALs.

NEW LYME.

In noticing the Improvements about
DodgeVillp, week before last, we omitted
one of the greatest-that is, the telegraph
line that connects it with the station.
Tie stock of lnmber noticed som e
time since as purchased by some of the
citizens of Dodgeville and BrCwnville,
has been stacked up in good shape, on
grounds near the station, and wears the
appearance of full grown lumber yard.
A necessary adjunct TO lumber yard is
planning mill, and we understand that n
mill OF this description is to be erected
upon this ground during the present win
ter. A permanent, and we trust, profit
able establishment, is thus to be built up.
A little rivalry between Rome and New
Lyme stations may have a good effect in
bui ding up both places.

Fire.

Fire was discovered about o'clock, on
Monday p. m. while the family were at
dinner, in the house of PHI. Watson,
Esq. The iremen soon responded to the
alarm, and found indications of fire un-
der the roof of the main building, and
flame creeping up between that and the
wing on the north side, affording tolera-
able good evidence of having taken from
a hue of the heater. Some damage W as
done from breaking through walls to get
at the fire. and probably much more from
the flooding of water. The amount o
damage we have not heard stated. but
learn it is covered by insurance. The
fremen and citizens generally, showed
commendable promptness and earnest
ness in giving every possible aid.

The name of W. P. Howlaud, ESD
member of Assembly from this county
has been mentioned in connection with
the speakershIp of the House. The po-
sition taken by Mr.. Rowland during his
term of service, has given him very IA
vorable prominence in the State, as well
fGr ability as for soundness ofjudgment
and discretion and straightforward hon
esty and singleness of purpose. While
his constituents would favor such a step
and be proud of any honor that may be
conferred upon him, there IS no reason
to doubt, should he be called TO that po-
sition, but that the legislation of the
State will be much ia acIlitated and bene-
flied by the application of his clearness
and mental force to the transaction of its
business. Let the name of Mr.. Rowland E,
therefore, have the advantage of an early
mention in that connection.
