Been Exoavated.-Mr. Blank is q very

Been Excavated.- Mir. Blank is very illiterate man, and like many such, is fond of indulging in high-sounding words. He had been member of the church, but his propensity for fishing on Sunday, and like indulgencies, got him into sfavor, and he was excommunicated. A few days after, neighbor called at hls house just as the family were sitting down to dinner. MT. Blank proceeded ostentatiously to say ''grace," then straightening himself, he turned to his caller and said pompously, Il suppose you have heard I have been excavated from the church, but still keep up my daily department"
 That Daily Paper. We have received considerable encouragement, by the way of subscriptions in our project for publishing "a daily paper on the camp grounds during the camp meeting week. We had at first thought of beginning the publication on the first day of the meeting, in which case the price of subscription would have been 35 cents, but afterward concluded the first day would scarcely fur nish news of sufficient importance to issue 8 paper on that day, and we would begin the day following and continue, publishing the last paper on Monday, the day of breaking up, as stated last week. It was in this way we erred in stating the price to be 35 cents, for we should have said the prlce of subscription is only 30 cents. New then send iu your names and 30 cents as soon as you can, for the time is now short to pye pare fully for our work. Remember, we will send the daily paper 10 any audress, postage prepaid, for the full time of the meetings for 30 cents.
 Robbery in Ashley Falls.-Last Satur- day night R. 0. Taft's store in Ashley Falls was broken open and robbed of va rious articles, consisting of clothing, boots and shoes, ahd quite variety ot notiors including a lot of jewelry, The thieves entered the stcre by breaking large glass in the entrance door, and removing the pieces that adhered to the sash and pillng them carefully on the stoop by the side of the door, and crawling through. It is said the fact that one of the thieves, Off there were more than one, and there is evidence of there being more,) the fact that one of them left his old hat in the store in place of one he exchanged for and wore away, as we'll as other evidence, strengthens an opin' ion that the thieves are not skilled in their profession, and that in all probabili' ty their residence is less than a thousand miles away. A hundred dollars will proba- bly, cover all the loss. sa..
 Salisbury. Many of our festive citi' zens, during the past few weeks, have sought recreation at fishing in the numer- lakes and ponds which abound ln this sec ton. The Twin Lakes, being easily ac- cessible by rail, is usually the fagorite re
 sort, though the ponds on Mt. Riga are largely patronized. In fact, there i' scarcely mud hole 1n the vicinity whlcf has escaped unmolested by the lines ol these ardent disciples of Isaac Walton. In addition to our own citizens, numerous
 
 fabulous reports of the rich fishing
 grounds to be found here, have pitched their tents upon the shores of the ponds and engaged in this war of exterminatior to the finnY tribe. Under ordinary cir cumstances illumination in the nanber of the aforesaid tribe might5be expected al result, but this season the fisS ppear3 an usually sagacous, and (barring few san fish) no evidence of the sklllSot these ex rert anglers has yet been exhibited iii ou

 Connecticut coast, or at least some of then " are, after all, about as pleasant and a ,t tractive 10 visit for watering-places as th d average of those that make more nois e about it. Savin Rock, and which IS s ,r easily accessible to this region, is Yer B. pleasant indeed. We spent few hou a. there last Saturday, just to ''spy out tt i- land," and see what we should see, and r if turn to the land of Canaan and inform u x- inhabitants thereof, and of the regiO h round about,if it was land good for tho' 7. with much shekels to dwell in, in thei pr days of exceeding great heat. And the I
 port which we have to give is a goodly T
 port, there being no giants in the land, an lg the fruit thereof, even ye oysters and ) al clans, is savory and good, and the peep It who dwell there by the sea are strong bl rs of good repute. e.-EnywaY we had a goo ot time down lhere, for just the few hours V ct were there.
