Homo Industry.

The average Amerlcan citizen has com fortable opinion of his own ability, but there are certain branches of art about which he is cautious of expressing public judgment. If he hus o taste for literature he will not give you verdict on Tenny- sons latest poem or Emerson's new volume of essays. If he is ignorant about painting he will not write to the newspapers his i'm pressions of Michael Angelo or his candid estimate of Bierstadt. But when there is Q question of importance regarding any branch of industry of his own country, his use of the English language is unequaled.
 The perfection to which cur manufac- turers of. solid silverware have of late brought their designs and patterns is truly astonishing. Cautiously wrought devices, exquisite styles of engraving, and odd forms of ornamentation are being constant ly brought into the market, and the we'll known firm of T. Steele & Son, jewellers, 4o7 Main street, Hartford, Conn.,, have certainly eclipsed any former season in their display in this line. Located in their new establishment in Miller's block, with capacity for double the amount of goods which their old store contained, their facil- ities for furnishing silverware for weddings and housekeeping purposes is 'qual to any in the country.
 Visitors to the city are cordially invited to examine this rich display of goods, even if they do not wish to purchase, and a leisure hour will he found well spent in cultivat,ng ones taste while so occupied.

Sheffield No. 2s

Sheffield No. 2s
 We are induced to take up the pen again this week to mention another wedding which. occurred Thursday afternoon of last week at the residence of Charles RoYs in Western Sheffield, when h1s youngest daughter, Carrie, was made the wife of Mr. Bell from Northern New York. This gentleman, having been resident of Sails bury for some years, is better known there than here. Miss Roys has also been a teacher at Dr. Knights for two years, and we know her to be very worthy lady-an ornament to society. Now that she has become Bell in reality. doubtless her worth and attractions will be we'll appreci- ated in her new sphere. The bride and groom, left for their future home immedi- stely... We learn with sad regret of the serious illness of Henry Burtch, one of our most highly esteered citizens. Earnest wishes are expressed for his recovery, for he is one of the few true men whom we cannot spare from our midst.. House cleaning and garden making seem to be the absorbing interests hereabouts, SO we have few events to chronicle. Our village gos- sip keeps things stirred up generally, but as her stories are so well understood we do not intend to report her accounts oi failures, islander, etc......A divorce was lately granted to the wife of Albert Shears of this town for the cause of cruelty. Sht left town for Clinton, N. r., last week.. The Berkshire Teachers Association meets in Pittsfield this week Friday and Saturday Several of our teachers expect to attend but Miss Dewey's absence in New Yort will deprive them of the pleasure of he presence there...... Mrs. Curtis leaves thi week for New York, where she will spent some weeks with her friends, and will g by the way of Hudson and spend feV days with Mrs. Hoyt in her new home We do not believe in reporting visits ant personals but as there are some of th inquisitiye in our midst, We make this men .tion by request, that there may be n
 doubt expressed. Preparations are goin
 on for the centennial celebrations here mex month, and we expect grand time. K.

As He Deserved

BOWEN EXPELLED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH There was crowded attendance at the adjourned meet ing of Plymouth church, Thursday even- ing, to take action on the resolutions pro- posed at the last meeting for the expulsion of Henry c. Bowen from membership. The audience was good deal excited, but dec- orous. MT. Edgerton, the moderator, pre-
 sided, and in a solemn voice, read the res- olution of expulsion. Clarence Bowen then handed the clerk an envelope containing his fathers protest, on printed slips, ma king about four newspaper columns, which was read at length, but failed to create any impression. Mir. Shearman moved it's re- ception, which was carried, and the mode rator put the motion for expulsion, request ing those to rise who favored 1t. The whole congregation was standing in an in- stant, and when the contrary motion was put no one stood up. Bowen's protest adds nothing new to the scandal literature, but contends that he has not had fair trial, for there was no evidence to show that he had been guilty of slander. Bowen, when in- formed of the action of the church, did not express any surprise. a
 ~ FRraHTFUL SPRoTAoLE.-A 10-mile team drawing lumber, while coming from the vicinity of the lake, went over the grade near the head of Kings canyon. The driver sprang from the saddle, thereby sa- wing his life: He then stood still, horri- :. fled and speechless witness to one of the most terrible scenes possible to imagine. The mules, wagon and lumber pitched downward in one confused, rolling mass
 nearly 2000 feet into the bottom of the gorge, the wild cries from the crushed anG mangled animals rending the air as they were hurled madly down the steep noun tain side, until, when nearing the bottom
 nd life becoming extinct, the sgonizinl sounds ceased and all became silent il death. The man says that after the frs hundred feet had been passed the entir mass became hidden in great cloud o snow torn up and scattered through the air but he could distinctly hear all sounds pro
 ceeding from the white cloud as it rolle, swiftly onward, until it struck the bolton of the canyon with crash like that of al earthquake. Neuadc (Col) Tribune:

What is this but publishing matter that is in other newspapers at the same time. 7He W5n- sted NeDs $ c patent outside, using matter edited, set in type and cast in blocks in New York city, and Bills can't deny it without lying, and as we said before, his friends and neighbors know he can't lie, for he was never known to put over nine words of lie to one of truth in his ordnary conversation.
 We want to say just word more about Bills newspaper folder, as we find we were entirely in error h what we said about il

 folder he has invented, but machine fol
 his individual use, nobody else ever being
 known to have occasion to use one. Wha
 he is making is an cor folder. His ear will keep getting down on the floor in spit of all he can do, and folks step on them and as there is SO much territory to go over he has invented a machine to fold them ul , and hold them in graceful plaits alonl down his back where the bristles grow Bills is a born orator as we'll as natura } born fellow, and if the world doesn'

An Incident That Married People
Should Read.

Not long ago I was riding on the cars
and an incident occurred that seemed to
nae SO beautiful that l want to tell it
for the encouragement of w~omankind.
There were two old men sitting behind
me, strangers to each other, but like
little children, comparing ages and
their lives. They were seventy and
seventy>fve years, both farmers, and
both had recently lost their wives-one
so recently that his heart was full of
sorrow and his eyes over1owe1 as he
talked. They were uncultured men,
and of course used no fine language.
Said one: "She never spoke an unkind
word to ME in all the fifty years I lived
with her. [ have been visiting my
children, and going from place to place,
but l am lonely all the time, and | miss
her so much" The other old man said
his wife was sick for many months;
''but," said he, my success in life is as
much hers ss mine. She was a faiths
full, true wife, always busy, always doing
her part, and nov she is gone. [ am SO
restless all the time, and can stay no.
where long. I hope I shall soou go to
her, for life is so dreary and lonely"
And SO they talked. comforting and
sympathizing with each other. What q
testimony to the lives of those two wo.
men, farmers wives, who had lived
quiet, humble lives, performed thei,
daily duties, brought up their children,
and left this monument in the hearts OF
their husbands!

"Who's that talking?" called the
mother of the child in a loud voice.
"Mel" said the fat man. "Why
didn't you either leave that child al
home or stay at home YOURSELF"
care you talking to me?" demanded
the woman.
Eyes, ma'am, I am! SAY it's a shame
to bring a sick child into a sleeping cal
to disturb twenty or thirty people"

"No, / amt"
"Nor a mother?" she continued.
"No, ma'am."

The Day You We're Born.

Here is an iHfalli5le method of dis
covering the day of the week on which
o given day of the month any number
of years previour occurred. To the
number represept ing yonr age at your
next birthday add %one-fourth for leap
years; this amount divide by seven, and
the remainder counted back from the
day of the week on which you were
born. For instance. on your next birth
day You will be twenty-four years old.
This divided by four, and the quotient,
six, added to twenty>four, gives thirty,
the amount, which divided by seven,
the number Of days in a week, gives
four weeks and the remainder of two
days. Now, If your birthday in 1876
comes on Monday, count back two
days. and you have the day on which
ypn were born. Saturday.
