Our townsman, II. ID. Buckln, has re-
fitted his store and stocked 1t with an en-
tire stock Of new goods. Our two traders,
Messrs Bucklin and Mahon, seem to take
the lead in trade in this section. A.o.
LUDLOW.
Notwithstanding we were favored with
April snow storms and April showers, May
flowers are as yet the exception rather
than the rule. Farm work is getting to be
decidedly late, especially on soil naturally
given to dampness.
We imagine many farmers in this vicini-
ty will be we'll pleased to see n growth of
grass sufficient tor their stock to subsist
upon, as hay is getting well nigh used up.
We heard of some being sold ut auction q
few days since, for the snug sum of some
thing over twenty dollars ton. This is
the highest VIC have heard Of any being
sold, aud it ia quite probable that more was
realized on account of being disposed of at
auction, for 1t is not untreqnently the case
that some kinds of properly bring betAl'
prices this way than could be realized in
any other. The mystery consists in per-
sons buying at their own offers
Everything is comparatively quiet here
abouts just now even our merchants were
of this noticn until disabused of the erro-
ncous idea, by the statement Of CORE
spondent of your contemporary.
We have no question but what business
here will compare favorably with most
other places, but that it can be said 20 Ie
good, in the proper acceptaton of the
term, we think, draws somewha. on one'a
credulity, and partakes triile Of tine
"mythical."
The legal fraternity are unusually busy
about now, preparing for the May term Of
Windsor county court.
Sheriff s. w. Stimson has been vel
nigh ubiquitous for the last fortnight and
a good many, without doubt, viii breathe
easier when the "last day." Of legal service
before the sitting of the court has fully
passed.
The legal mill at this burg took turn Or
| two on Tuesday last, on a couple of w
easy youths, who, IL was alleged, had DE-
turbed both the peace and the slumbcrs Of
| the denizens of certain locality the Sa-
urday night previous. The majesty Of
the law was INDICATED by Justice Geo. 4.
Walker, who imposed a fine of three dol
lars and costs for each of the offenders tC
pay or be further dealt with according &c
the provisions of the act, Sin such caset
made and provided 1t IS understood
they paid and departed.
AT last Lockwood has disposed of bis in
terest in trade to his partner, Charles Ray
mond, who will continue the business al
the old stand Lockwood having stipulated
to lend his aid an / comfort in the capacity
of salesman when not necessarily absent
angling for "spotted beauties in some o
our prolific mountain streams.
NEW HAVEN.
Recent rains have left the roads in near
| ly as bad condition as before.
The farmers are taking advantage OF tbt
favorable weather to hurry forward TIT
springs work.
1t is our sad duty to chronicle the dealt
of another of our prominent men. Mr.
Charles Il. Wright. He had been i'll but
short time with inflammatory rheumatism
which terminated fatally Tuesday evening
| The deceased had held offices of trust il
the town for many years, and was widel,
known he will be mourned among larg
| circle Of friends and acquaintance. LII
leaves family who have the sympathy o
the entire community in this, their suddel
bereavement. His funeral was largely al
tended from the house at II a. m. Thurs
day. Rev. David Ferguson officiating.
Mrs. Caldwell is improving slowly.
We learn that Dir. Admon Clark is quit
| i'll.
Eleven persons united with the churcl
last Sabbath. Seven by profession ant
fourteen by letter. The last service 10 b.
held in the church, in its present form
will probably be next Sunday. The com
mttee intend to push forward the work O.
repairing with all possible dispatch.

The Springfield Bulletin won't pubisl
any accounts about the centennial for tn
simple reason that it has "gone where th
woodbine twineth" some time ago, an,
now the subscribers are looking for thei
$3.50 which they invested with such prom
