hopeful look. His name was Charlie Jones' He

New York, looking for work. He had Just came

and took out piece Of dry bread, and made
supper on this and the coffee which the super.

bed. At dawn he went away with his bundle in
his hand, whistlinE the air Of an old negro
melody and be expected to get work that day.
No one wanted barber. Jones got hungry and

people to shave, but there were hundreds OF

 A town meeting was held, last Satur. day, for the purpose of connecting the road running north from this place, at point near Seelye Hart's, with the old Washington turnpike, on or near the site of the old discontinued road. We had the usual opposition from the north part of the town. notwithstanding the offer of the petitioners to make the road free of expense to the, town. By connecting those two roads we can avoid ''Great Hill. in going to Cornwall which is, con- sidered great improvement especially in the winter. The old Washington Turn. pike is in very bad condition, and must be repaired.

On Tuesday of last week Mir. Franklin Newton was arrested, on complaint of Mir. Geo. 0. Hitchcock, on charge of perjury and brought before Ralph Buckingham Esq. The trial commenced on Thursday at Union Hall, Mir. Hitchcock conducting his own prosecution and Mir. Graves ap- bearing for the accused. Mir. H. claimed, among other things, that he was in dan- ger of his life from MT. Newton, and the trial proceeded till 8p. m. when it was ad- journed till Saturday of this week. Mir. Newton has the sympathy of the respect able portion of the community and much indignation is expressed at prosecutions which are generally regarded as malic- ious.
 Summer boariers are beginning to ar- rive. The Carter House has been favored with quite number; and, within few weeks, our quiet village will be lively with city people. Their coming will be vel comed by all.
 MT. David Kinney is back from Penn sylvania with a handsome span of gray horses.
 Til recently. little has been done tor the past fifteen years to improve the ap- pearance of this village. Mir. Burnham's s store is very great addition; ana more recently, Mir. E. H. Beardsley has begun important repairs and improvements which will add greatly to the looks of the village. Most. however, of the buildings along the Aspetuck, present evidences of of decay and want of repair which are not pleasant to see..
 There are rumors of more prosecu. tions, and the season bids fair to be a good one for law suits. G.B.
