A Cruel Father.-.sWhat are YOU doing

last Monday afternoon, and with so much emphasis were they spoken, ,quite number in the immediate vicinity ran into the street | to see what was the cause of so much ] noise.-There he goes now! says one; it is an Irishman pounding his little girl home. | The child (perhaps eight years old, has been across the railroad track playing with the children ot 8 neighbor, and her father finding her away from home without his permission, is pounding her with club and not content at that is pelting her with ] stones till the neighbors scream out to him to stop. Such a man Che hasn't even the instinct of father) should be complained of and made to realize he has no right 10 gratify his passion for cruelty, even on hls own children. The ReY. Father Lynch would excommunicate this member of his church if he knew it.
 Lakeville Jottings road around Lake Wononscopomoc isn't graded yet. Come now, Mir. Cornell, if you have the spirit of push like your namesake of Ron dout, Thomas Cornell of steamboat notori- ety, you will not suffer the few rocks that stand n the way of a smooth road to block your wheels of progress in this enterprise. Push them right out of the way and ''move steadily on the enemY's works" That road ought to be built, and you sir, are the man to build it.
 MT. William Bundy's house, which he is building on the lot he recently purchased just south of the M. B. parsonage in Lake vile, IS we'll advanced in its process of construction. It is ''covered" and is being painted, and when done will be very pre- sentable structure.

 MT. James Bird is proving himself "mas-
 ter of the situation" as landlord of the Mil
 Ter House. This house is certainly one of
 the finest and most pleasantly located for
 scenery of any in the country. Being near
 the station, with postal and telegraphic
 conveniences within a moments walk, it
 should be filled to it's fullest extent with
 boarders from the cities. One serious
 drawback to visitors from New York city
 is the lack of railroad accommodations,
 With an early train to Millerton to connect
 with the 7.13 express south, arriving in
 New York at 10.45 a. m., by which
 arrangement business men could spend the
 Sabbath with their families here in Lake vile, and arrive in the city for business again Monday forenoon, there is no ques
 ton whatever of the difference it would make with this business of boarding the
 people who wish to get into the country ir
 the summer months. This same fact is
 true of other places than Lakeville. Land lord Russell of tbis village would reap } benefit from it, and it would be a substan
 tial benefit too, for he is also prepared tc 3 give the city people vast amount of com fort at his Maple Shade" The peopl, absolutely need an early train, to make tn,
 connections suggested week or two since f viz, with the early trains north and east a , Canaan, and with the New York train a Millerton and if connection could b.
 made with some of the early trains out o
 Millerton on the other roads, so much tn
 better. both for the people and the prospec
 of heavy dividends for the running of tn l train required to do it.
