 It Is Safe. We are informed that War liner Hall in this village has been examined by persons competent to judge, and they have pronounced it perfectly safe for al many as can be got into it.
 Beautiful Sugar are inclined tc think the very whitest and incest maple sugar we ever saw, was brought to towr the other day by MT. Grove Gaylord o Southfeld. Certain it is we have never seen whiter and better. We do not say this because he brought us nice large pal full of it, but because ''fax are fax"
 Spring Work.-Now is the time fol spring cleaning. If you have not got { spring, clean out your well. No matter how thoroughly you may have cleaned the house you have left in your first of Apr migration, the wife of the next man who moves Tn will declare it is not fit for hogs to live in, and then will sop suds around over everything, trying to make it ''ft fol hogs to live in."
 At Camps Drug store.-Jeweler Gard ner has removed his business from MT. Parsons store to Camps drug store. Dr. Camp has cleaned, papered and repaired his private office in the rear of his store, which is not only occupied by himself, but by Mir. Dentist Clemans when that gentle man visits this place professionally. As now rejuvinated it is made so pleasant it is expected people will go in and have tooth or two pulled, just for an excuse to get in and enjoy the place for an hour or so.
 Was Going In.-Last Friday evening g horse harnessed to wagon containing ma. pie sugar, and standing in front of the Ste. vens House in this village, became fright ened by the Express freight train which was leaving the station, and started up the | steps leading to the barroom, but the wag- on becoming firmly wedged against the horse-block, refused to follow, whereupon the animal began to kick and struggle, and l succeeded ID smashing the thills and scat terlng the maple sugar promiscuously about the street, but was extricated without caus- ing much further damage.

 BRO. PEAsE-The result of the five meetings here foots up one M0us1nd, and the work is just commenced. Regards to all. Yours Sincerely,

 It is certainly wonderful how this grand work of reformation goes on, and may it continue to go on till everybody has sub scribed himself as an enemy to rum.
 Mercantile. Mir. s. l.. Parsons, who has been merchant in Sheffield for some thing like twenty-five y ears will hereafter as- slst his son, MT. G. L. Parsons, in his store here in Canaan. We congratulate Friend George in this arrangement, which cannot be otherwise than pleasant and as his worthy father has for so many years been popular in Sheffield, he certainly will not detract from the merited popularity of the store of his son here in Canaan. MT. Parsons has worked up a good business here in Canaan in the short time he has been here, and his business seems constantly to increase, state of affairs that cannot be otherwise than gratifying and satis- factory.
 Tickets to Where 2-The Housatonic has so reduced it's fares that tickets from Norfolk, Salisbury and adjoining towns ov- CT that road are sold from $3 to 3.35.- LttchJfeId Enquirer.
 It Brother Hickox of the Enquirer was not wearer of the blue as we mistrust him to be, we should have said that he had 'took something" just before penninG the above item. The tickets are sold for $3 to $3 35 to be sure. but to wAere? "Over the road, d,"- to Pittsfield, Bridgeport, Lncum- pitch or to Barkhamsted? Tickets to Neat Y0rk from Norfolk, going over the Housa. tonic road, Can now be bought for $3. .35, and from Lakeyille, Salisbury and Chapin. vile. via Canaan and the Housatonic road for $500. Perhaps this IS what the En- qutrer intended to say.
 Music and Painting. Mary E, Per. kins of Lime Rock proposes to teach a class in vocal music in this place, as will be seen | by her advertisement in another column That Miss Perkins is competent teacher, we have ample evidence in the testimony of Miss Ada Pettee of Pittsfield, whose pupil she was, and of.Prof. Stillman of Lakeville who recommend her in high terms. Two or three years ago we had an opportunity of hearing Miss Perkins at Miss Pettee's con- cert in Lakeville, and we distinctly remem- Der that we thought at the time we had nev. rr heard such sweet and powerful voice. md one wnh such range in any singer. tx
 pling of course, such professionals as | 'i'ss K ;llOpe, wtU have N worldwide Iepu- alton. We are sure that no better, it ever before so good. opportunity has been given for vocal instruction here in Canaan, and with the opportunity extended to all who desire to learn to sketch and paint in water colors, which IS offered, providing class can be obtained for the lady whose adver- tisement also is h another column, a chance for instruction in these accomplishments is offered that ought not to be permitted to pass unheeded.
