 Cornell & Hoyt, the populur merchants near the depot, find their business constantly on the increase, and are having customers from places all about us, in Amenia, Millerton, Sharon, and in fact all this region about us. Their stock of stoves is very large, ,and we were shown several new patterns which are perfect beauties, besides combining many advantages which we have never before observed in others. It is getting to be about the season for purchasing stoves, and Cornell Hoyt have them in great variety. Their furniture department is especially complete, and their prices have been put way down. They have chamber suits which are models of neatness and so cheap that almost any family can pro- cure one. Then they have plated and silver ware, the neatest things entirely in glass ware, housekeepers furniture of every de- scription; in fact they have everything to start couple in housekeeping, and the iu- nior partner says they could if it were neces- sary, find life partner for young man to make the list complete. They deal honorably, sell low, deliver goods promptly, and that's the secret of their success.

 What dnll hay weather,i is what they all say there is more hay to be cut in Cornwall, than was ever known at this time of year. ...... The base ball has reached c. and they have it bad, the number of deaths is few as yet, but the wounded are many. Practice games are played every day, and the boys are improving rapidly The interest which the ladies take in the game, is really extraordinary, and just | here we wish to mention an important fact tc amatuer B. B. clubs, that lady spectators are a very important element of success in base ball matches which fact was demonstrated i1 two games which were played by our club the past week. The first game was played under the supervision of large number of ladies and all were proud of our pet club, but alas they went away and neglected to take the la. dies with them and were badly beaten, an6 came back terribly demoralized. So from this fact let all clubs take warning. The fair and festival was 8 success, some $70 being realized which is to go towards getting cushions for the church. The people appear to have forgotten with the mercury at 90 in the shade, that new heaters are as indispensable as anything else.. HI. l.. Monson, formerly with M. Beers & Sons, is in town for a few weeks.
