 New Organ new organ just put in the Congregational church at Falls Village by Mir. J. Brinton is very good instru ment. Its tone IS good and it possesses COL siderable power; in fact quite enough for church the size of that in which it is placed.

 His New "Add "-Merchant Parsons new advertisement looms up in becoming manner in another column. Friend Georges motto Hive and Let Live, is cer- tainly good one, and judging by his pat ronage he practises pretty thoroughly what he preach"s, for his prices are such as in dicate disposition to let others live. while himself wlll be able to maintain 8 moderate existence. Read the advertisement.
 Will Sell Out,-Have you read Taft's Closing out sale in his advertisement in an other column Friend Taft has. we m derstand, decided to return to New York in time for the fall trade, and his entire stock of goods in his store in Ashley Falls must be sold to enable him to do it. He has determined to close his store in that village for the present, and will offer some extra good bargains to cash buyers. Now "Don't you forget 1t" but be on hand early and often.
 The Delightful Season.-The storm of last week. and which was quite severe, is followed this week by remarkably fine weather. Vegetation, which was some- what retarded in it's growth, now springs forward rapidly and in few days all na- ,ure will be clothed in its summer garb. From about the middle of May to the last of June we have thought was the most de lightful season of the year. At that time foliage is nearly or quite out and is in lts fir, shness the various fruit trees are in blossom, the atmosphere is laden with their fragrance and the whole country seems one grand flower garden.
 The Trappers.-The companYof trappers which have been alluded to from time to tune as following the serpentlne course of the HousaLon:c river from PIGts6eld, camplng iu tents near the scene of their operations, are said now to be in the vicln- itv of Ashley Falls. This is certainly a frontier mode of life illustrated in our very midst This party set large mum Der of traps along the banks of the "river for muskrats mlnks and otters, making thls their regular business. We are not informed with what success they have met since they be gan some weeks ago their novel occupation as tra1pers. but presume they gather considerable fur or they would not continue Tn the business. Another New House.-It isn't always the poorer classes of people in whose pnck- -ts money burns. MT. George Gillette ot this place 1t appears couldn't stand it any longer. He lives Tn fine house and has everything about it so nicely arranged there is no chance to spend any more mon- ey ou it, so he is now building house for somebody else. Don't know exactly who will occupy It when iC Is completed. but that lsn't of much consequence. He couldn't stand the pressure and had to build thls house just because be wanted an opportunity to spend some of his money. The new structure now in process of com pietlon is loc tied we'll out on We>t Main street, and will make when finlshed,a very comfortable and desirable little home for somebody.
