Out of Town Notes.
WALLINGFORD.

Among the mapy improvements which
| have been and are being made, worthy
! of note, are the following; w. S. Bal
lou and L. w. Tower are about to en-
| large their stores, with a view to an in
crease of trade; FL. P. Morgan, our
gentlemanly and affable depot master,
| IS having rooms done off in the depot,
and will take up his quarters there when
completed; the beautiful residence of Q
E. Hill is rapidly approaching compile
ton, and will add greatly to the looks of
our village, when finished; z. W: Kent,
of our citizens have had their houses
| slated. The work has been done by MIR.
Culver, of Poultney, and is giving gen.
eral satisfaction. The croquet ground
on Depot Park is nearly ready for use,
and will doubtless afford great deal of
enjoyment to lovers of the game.
Very few city boarders have made
their appearance here as yet. Among
the late arrivals are II. q. Childs and
family, and w. II. II. Sahin and family,
of New York, who are to pass the sum
mer months with us. Mr.. Esaius Hall,
of Brandwood, H., and former towns
man, is here on a visit. Mr.. Hall was
at one time associated with w. S. Bal
lou under the firm name of Ballou s.
Hall, in the mercantile business. He is
now superintendent of the Chicago,
Wellington s. Vermillion Coal Com
pany, of Braidwood, Ill.
Our cemetery still remains in an un-
finished condition. A few hundred dol
lars judiciously expended would greatly
improve its appearance. No doubt there
are good reasons for the delay.
Our manufacturing establishments
are in a flourishing condition. The
Messrs. Batcheller 81 Sons employ
large number of men, and are turning
out large quantities of forks daily. An
drew Bartholomew, manufacturer of
doors, sashes and blinds, is doing live
ly business, and turns out first-class
work.
Our blacksmith and wagon makers
are reaping good harvest these days,
and in fact business of all kinds is good
with u.s.
The past winter there has been
great many deaths in this vicinity,
though mostly of our aged people
There are at present quite number
sick on the town farm, though we under
stand they are improving rapidly under
the skillful treatment of DR.. VIM g.

The Fourth was celebrated here by |

er O'Carroll, whose award was a silver |
ball to the Yictors, won by the boys
from Hydeville, Willie Hyde, captain.
Our village trustees in response to
petition of citizens, have prohibited ball
playing within the corporate limits, it
having become nuisance on the streets.
There is plenty of room a half mile

Something is in the wind There
S to be wedding, rumor says, at a

which Fort Ann loses and Fair Haven
gains tenant.

YERGENNES
On Monday evening a large number
IT our citizens went on the steamer
jnrleW down our beautiful river to Fort
jassin, where they were welcomed by
he new ''Smart" hotel keeper and es
orted to the house and hall by the Yer
,ennes cornet band. who had spent the
lay on this ancient battlefield, discours-
ng sweet music, visiting the various
amps in the vicinity, and making the
most of their holiday. A fine display
# fireworks was the principal event of {
he evening for the staid and sedate of i
he company, but the echoes of the vio-
in and rapid movement of many feet
bowed plainly that the merry dance |
till had its many votaries. All re- 1
qrned home at an early hour, without t
ccidenf, sage the sslittle stare" at the
Short Bend" when the boat ran
ground, and ''big words" were heard
ear the pilot-room.
