The use of carpetlngs may be traced to a very remote period, although as late as the tune of Queen Mary, rushes and oth- CT coarse materials were used on the floors of her apartments. For many years Eu- rope received all her carpets from the East. and in many places whole families might be found in the occupation of car pet weaving. We are now producing in this country carpets of the same excel lence as those of foreign make. The Read Carpet Co.,, of Bridgeport, are said to make the best Ingrain Carpets that are sold in this Country: Messrs. HALL < READ are the agents of these goods, and also keep the largest assortment of Velvet and Brusselts carpets in the state. Hall < Read also enjoy deserved reputation for selling all classes of Dry Goods at the lowest market rates. They retail all do- mestic goods at the wholesale price lists and it Is said that all kinds of housekeep- ing goods can be purchased there as low as in New York. We would advise our readers when Tn Bridgeport to visit Hall X Read. 22.4w

Luckily the force of the blow was spent in the ravines above Worcester so that comparatively little damage was done in that place.
