learn the proprietor intends to fit up his

The writer having recently had occasion
to stop few hours at this house on busi-
ness, was agreeably surprised at the marked
improvements which were everywhere
plaiH'y to be seen. Cleanliness. which
from the best of authority is said to be
next to Goodness" was as apparent "as
the nose on a mans face" as the adage has
it. The stables under the immediate care
and supervision Of Robert Priest, looked
inviting, as desirable place tor a beast to
pstronize, to say the least; better than
some "humans" sometimes have been
obliged to take up with. The culinary de-
paltment we understand is, and will contip-
ne to be, in charge of Mrs. Priest, Roberts
"better half, and if the future is to be
governed by the indications on the occasion
just named, we judge the most fastidious
will be fully satisfied with the abundant
and appetzipg supplies Of the table. We
earnestly recommend those having occasion
to pass the Tyson house, to slime it" so as
to give it call.
Ludlow, from the latest developments. Ia
not only to have the honor OF being the
residence of the sheriff of the county, but
also of a new fedged deputy, Lester G.
Howe having ALREADY 'taken orders" to
this effect. The sheriff, S. w. Stimson,
necessarily absent more or less, and hold
ing also the office of constable, which, as a
matter OF course, does mot help matters In
his absence, came to the conclusion that the
public good required an additional officer,
and accordingly appointed the person nam
ed above. MIR. Howe has bad charge of
our lock up since the institution has been
opened to the public, and so understand
is the duties of deputy 80 far as turning
the key is concerned.
While the general run Of business Is
said to still languish, there is one branch
that shows urmistakable signs of reviyipg:
the trade in dog collars. On Monday
morning, the 26th inst, we saw no less
than seventy-six, hanging outside of Geo.
b. walkers harness shop as specimens of
what was for sale inside. Our philanthrop-
ic dealer, either from an abundance of
good will to the canine species, or from
other equally disinterested motives (?)
gives notice through the columns of the
local paper, that he will furnish collars for
actual cost, and engrave the name of the
owner OF the "purp, in the best style" for
| nothing. How he can afford to do all this
must remain mystery to all outsiders and
undergraduates" Unless he has very
extensive trade In this speciality he cannot
reasonably hope to replace the stamps
actually advanced, to say nothing of the
time spent in engraving.
