Major Greene has been appointed sole
agent for Appleton's Cyclodaedia 10 this
town and delivered Vols. to subscribers
last week. Besides the large work in is
Vols. he is taking orders for the condens-

who really desire cyclopedis, but can
not afford the investment required to

satisfy this demand, the publishers now
offer the abridged edition, which en-
braces all the titles in the larger work.
1t is issued in "A parts at fifty cents or
will be completed in four volumes of
about 800 pages each.

| The depot at Hawleyville caught fire
| from cracker thrown upon it by some
of the young ones on the Shepaug train,
bound for Roxbury, July 4th, with the
Sunday school picnic party. 1t was
| discovered in time, and put out by the
| fire department at the depot. Said de-
partment consisted ola pitcher of water,
and ticket agent. This little incident
shows what an abominable nuisance
these fire crackers are. TIE damage
done the depot was slight, but, had it
not been discovered in time, or had ii
taken place at night, the loss would have
been great.
