Grace and her companion began disclosing
the merits of the different watering places, to

sped away with the fleetness of a fawn. Ellis

The case of Andrews against the Beecher manufacturing company of Meriden, has terminated in favor of the company. It was brought on the grounds that they had violated an injunction to prevent them from making so much noise in nanufac- turing as to disturb the residents in the vicinity.

THE BOTTOM REAcHED.-A New York despatch of Oct. 22nd says it is thought in Wall street that the long-contiaued spell of depression has at length passed away, and that the feeling of general confidence by which it has been replaced is likely to be lasting. Business men generally take a more cheerful view of the situation and of the prospects of trade than Heretofore, and this feeling naturally tends to exercise a stimulating influence on values, especially as the traffic returns of the trunk lines are very favorable and show largely increased earnings.

Passing through this town a short time since, MT. Editor. and stopping for day at the hotel, I was informed by mine host Comstock that the completion of the new town hall was to be celebrated that after noon and evening by a ''New England Din ner and Continental Tea Party" given by the Episcopal society. As 'tis seldom that
 my business permits me to indulge in fes- tive gatherings of this kind, I determined to embrace the opportunity thus afforded and attend. Arriving at the hall, found the tables spread with all the delicacles of old New England, including turkeys, chick ems, pork and beans, Indian pudding, pumpkin pie. oysters, and-bnt space and time forbid my mentioning one-half the tables offered to, refresh the inner man. The ladies who waited on the tables wore caps and kerchicfs, and the masculines, white and blue ribbons, with pictures of Washington on their coats. There was quite an exhibition of revolutionary relics, and relicts that were not revolutionary the latter for which am told Kent is mo- ted, and in which my interest of course was.

Ellsworth,

I am an occasional reader of your paper, but I have looked in vain for the past num- Der of weeks for news from Ellsworth, and as see your columns are open for items thought few words from me might not come amiss. The past few weeks have been of wonderful. import to the people of Ellsworth from the time of the blowing up of J. M. Gregory's store September 23rd, and also of his death, which occurred four days later, casting a gloom over the village which is not yet removed. 5. The goods of said store having been appraised, are at present in the hands of George Peck, who has fitted up store in the north part of his fathers dwelling house he also has the post office. He went to New York for goods on Thursday of last week, so that we shall soon have another store in run ming order......Mr. Everett Dunbar started for the seaside last Thursday with his wife,
 who has been in i'll health for the past six months or more......Mr. Ira Marshall and Miss Fanny McBurney were sacrificed on the matrimonial altar at the residence of the bridegroom in this village, the 18th inst, after which they took trip to Mar bledale, but were soon recalled on account of the sickness. of his mother, who died on the 23rd and was buried Monday. The carpenters have been, and are still. busy Mir. Robert Buckley has been putting an ornament on his house in the shape of pi
 azza on the east and south sides also four lighted windows below, with blinds, besides some repairs on the inside, making great addition to the looks of the premises...... Mr. Daniel Hall has completed 8 piazza in front of his house......Mr. John Studley' 8 new house, commenced the second Monday in September, is drawing near completion. We would say without doubt it is the best planned and most convenient house we ever visited, and does great credit to it's planners, Carpenter Marsh and E. W.

A nights lodging within its gloomy walls would have been mild punishment for such disgrace full breach of decency and good breeding. know not whence such diabolical cus-
