nesdsy evening May 81, 1876. Music by
IIolden's full band.
A. 5. Mahon has received from market
a new stock of select prints and full sup
ply of dry goods throughout.
May it be remembered that East Wal
lingford has once more thawed out so that
our farmers are busiy engaged in prepsr-
ing their grounds for planting. The grass
and foliage of the woods are very back
ward, we notice that he planting bird has
returned, and az that is always considere
a sign to plant by, do not think it best TO
hurry till the ground is warm, although
some are all ready planted. c.
PIrTsFIELD.
Though very small town both geograph-
ically and politically, yet it is full of life
and every one who is able is up and doing.
The snow clad hills and ice bound valleys
just relieved Of their burden of cold Yer
mont winter, tn. farmers thereof ere i'm
proving this fine and beautiful weather
with will and strength unsurpassed
Grain is being sown, corn and potatoes be-
ing planted, every one is determined to
raise more this year than last, good omen
this finally every thing pertaining to farm
work is being pushed to the utmost cap
acity of every mans ability. Douglass
said "Vermont was good place to be born
in we say Pittsfeld is a good place to live
in provided man is good to work, If not
he had better find some other abiding place,
"lofari'm" is far below par, dealer in
that commodity thluk would fare hard in
this place.
Several improvements are being made in
our village. DR.. G. W. Brigham has NOV
ed his old house from its former location
and fitted ii up for "a tenement house, and
is rapidly pushing forward the work on his
cellar, preparatory to the erection of a
new dwelling much larger, more commo-
dious and elegant than his old one.
Ira Holt Jr., is building new well and
adding some other improvements to his
house.
Moses Ellis is repairing his barn in a
thorough manner, and we understand con-
The NJ. E. Church is receiving new
coat of paint, which adds much to its sp-
pearance as well az durability.
Ira Holt senior has purchased what is
called the "Harrpgton house" and fitted it
up for permanent residence.
We notice that the large piles of logs
which were gathered in the mill yards the
past winter, are rapidly disappearing, large
stocks of lumber are taking their place.
Allowing us TO be Judge we should think
dealers in want OF almost any kind Of lum-
her natural for our green mountains, would
find it for their interest to call on Messrs.
Brigham and Atwood at the village or ].
II. Ranney & Son one mile up the west
branch before Purchasing of other parties.
Last but not least of the changes, we
notice the decided improvement Of our
o and SIR. LIST Sabbath in the repdit-
have been holding a musical convention
here the past week for the purpose of per-
f.ciing and eevating church music, aud
If we rightly Judge were great beneht to
our singers. While | write, the sound OF
the church bell has hardly died away an
