Among the West winsted Merchants. The merchants of West Winsted and Winsted arc looking forward to good trade this spring and summer, and Messrs. Woodford & Camp. successors to M. & c. J. Camp & Co.,, came in with new half column advertisement last week. It Is over in the other column beyond look at it again and see what it says about it.

While our steamer on our way home from the South was at Port Royal taking in 695 bales of cotton, the darkevs, slowing it away in the hold, discovered amongst the cargo, some buckets of mar. malade made from oranges, and which is 8 delicious sauce. and when the supercargo's back was turned few moments, the lid to one of the buckets lifted as if by magic. and our colored brethren event in." After one of the number had filled his face with the toothsome preserves, and hls enjoyment of the sweet meat was manifest all over his delighted countenance, he stalkcd about among the others exclaiming with grun which expressed better than words can ex press, his enjoyment
 'Talk about your lasses," says he ''lasse' no-whar." Sugar, no-whar."
 It is something so at Wing & Gris wold's: When you come to talk abou goods and prices, Hartford is "no-whar ]! Springfield or Pittsfeld are 'no-whar. Their new advertisement will appear il THE NEWS in 8 week or two, and then ou
 readers will get the facts in the case in de
 tail.-But we must conclude our story
 When the ''super" returned and discovere'
 the broken marmalade bucket, he aske'
 our colored friend, who was so prolific o

 Jade and 'lasses, and sugar,-"Who brok
 open that bucket!" With look of inno
 cence that would melt heart of stone h.
 replied II swar to God, Massa didn
 touch dat ar!" The supercsrgo afterward
 said he should have been inclined to belev
 him, but ''the cuss had about three guar

 Jeweer Kirk, whose house was recent
 destroyed b, fire, was up supcrintendin

 Up in the other village, MT. Musical Be jamin is doing heavy trade in the orgs l. and piano business.
