Connecticut western news., 1876-12-08

as we glanced at Mir. Forbes furniture store window in West Winsted the other day, as we were passing along. Our curi- osity invited us in to sec about 1t, and there we found long table full of all manner of articles, useful as well as ornamental, and which are known by this apparently heather Chinee appellation. "Ja-Se- Po- Ri" ware. There were ladies' stand ard work basket in great variety, vases from two feet in height down, music cases, match safes, napkin rings, card receivers, toilet sets, lunch baskets, and exquisitely wrought trinkets and biioutry in general. The ladies' work stands were really very beautiful. and for holiday presents we know of nothing that will probably re- ceive more attention than this strange though elegantly wrought ware. And there is kind of foreign and oriental look to it that gives it caste, and makes it 8 very fashionable ware to have about one's apart ments, and of course that makes 1t espec- ially valuable. Don't fail to go to MT. Forbes furniture store in West Winsted, and see this wonderful "Ja- se-Po-Ri."
 That Other Canaan Paper.-We found among our exchanges day or two since, copy of the new edition of what was once known as the Canaan Clipper. but which comes out now ss TAe Holiday. MT. H. D. Humphrey is, as usual, the publisher, and the sheet is of the regular size usually made on 5x7 amateur press, the pages measur- ing about 5x5. Editor Humphreys saluta- tory is masterly effort; and although 1t oc. cupies in space, but one line, it will be read more readily than the full columns of some more pretentious publications. Below we reprint it entire:

 There it is, you see. the first thought up permost in the mlnd of the editor-in- chef of The Holiday, when he courageously seized his quill to begin his editorial labors, was the welfare of his readers. None but sentiments the most noble could occupy the breast of one who can pen such salutato- ". His exordium is glorious and his pero- ration soul stirring. Notwithstanding the fact 1ne Holiday comes somewhat in com petition with us, we shall endeavor to cul- tivate friendly relations, and cordially ex- tend to 1t the right hand of fellowship.
