Their Big White Aands.-

That kaS9etC 6 DuranL are no euCn WeT- chants as our poet illustrates in the above verse. is plainly manifest by their full col umn advertisement in another column. Their 'big white hands" instead of being in l their vests, are this week in New York se- lecting (not hams, for they buy those in New Haven,) but some of the finest goods New York affords. Their advertisement will give the particulars in week or two. Dyre's Durham.-Mr. z. T. Adams of this place IS the fortunate owner of Dur ham COW. This COW has already achieved considerable notoliety as milk, cream and butter producer, and when her record was published something like year ago. peo- pie were inclined to question the truth of the report. The record of "Dyre's Dur ham for April just past is as follows: AZ pounds and l3 ounces of butter, and 66 quarts of milk sold, besides all the milk and cream the family wanted for their own use. If there IS COW in the region with better months record, Dyre wants to know it, and besides, it is we'll enough to have folks know that hereafter D. D. means ''Dyre's Durham"
 Graduated. - MT. s. A. Herman, who has etudled law at the office of A. T. Rora-
 back Esq. in this village during the past three years, has been admitted to practice at the Litchfeld county bar. Mir. Herman
 will begin hls professional life with Lawyer Fenn ofWinsted,t to which place he will soon
 remove. MT. H. (more familiarly known as
 ''Sam, "D has progressed rapidly in his stud ies under the efficient instruction of MT.
 Roraback, and is probably as well prepared to enter upon his professional life as any graduate at this bar. Sam" has made many friends during his stay in Canaan, and
 hls genial countenance will be missed from
 behind the post office window.
 UndextaKer.-Thea advertisement of MT.
 E. B. Culver, the Ct. Burlington Furnish
 ing undertaken. appeared in the NEws last
 week and will hereafter occupy position in our columns. MT. Culver has already received some patronage from this way and
 has always given most excellent satisfac- tion. Having large and varied assort- 1 ment of burial caskets and everything per tsining to the business, people will find it far more satisfactory to visit his store and make selection of what they require, than to give their directions as nearly as they | can, and trust to dealer to send to the large cities for what they order. Mir. Gull yer has occasionally had charge of funerals ' in this region, and the kind and tender, as we'll as the thoroughly skillful management of every feature of the sad occasion entrus- ted to bis supervision and care, has been specially gratifying, and great source of co rufort to the friends of the deceased. Know .sug what we know of MT. Culver, we cannot too strongly recommend him to the people of this ,~egion. His advertisement in another column will give what informa- tion may be desired.
 Beecher in Barrington.-Hhe Rev. Gien- " Ward Beecher will deliver his intensely interesting lecture ''The Reign of our Com mon People," ID Harrington Tuesday even ing of next week, (May 14th). Tbe regu- lar trains on the Housatonic road will take passengers at excursion rates. (prooably half fare) people from this way returning on the Through freight, to which psssen- ger car will be attached. Tickets securing what we are assured will be frst-class seats, will be on sale at G.. l.. Parsons store in this place, G. w. Halls store in Falls Vil- lage and at A. Le Roy's store in Ashley Falls. This subject for MT. Beecher's next Tuesday evenings lecture is esid to be one of the most interesting and instructive of any he has ever delivered in this region, and has invariably drawn overlowing houses in the cities and other large places where he has recently lectured. It always pays the largest kind of dividends on the expense and trouble of attending our best lectures, and listening to the superior minds of the world, and among them none pays better if indeed 80 we'll, as to hear the Rev. Hen " Ward Beecher. It is presumed large number from this way will improve this op- pOrtunity of once more listening to the | soul-strrlng eloquence of MT. Beecher.
 More Honor.-Tbe Canaan NEWS takes it's shears in one hand and the New York Tribune in the other and ventures to ''write" as it's editorial opinion that the present bankrupt law shas done and is do- ing more than any and all things else com blned to prevent return to healthful condition of the prostrate business of our country" and SO on. The editorials and
 opinions of country journalism msnufac- | ! DoI

 wonderfully productive of-mirthfulnese

 There it is again, ''you see." More hon or thrust upon us. Our editorial accredited
 to those eminent philosophers in finance,
 the Goulds and Belmonts of New Yort
 city. Simply the fact that the thr, ',feu' repeal of the present obnoxious bankrupt
 act had caused unusual activity in bankrupt
 proceedings in New York city; simply the

 Tribune, but not word or syllable of the
 article as it appeared in the NEWS was read
 or even seen by the Tribune CT by Gould.
 a Belmont or anybody else till it appeared in the CONN. WESTERN NEWS, and the opln- ions advanced in the article, were, so far
 as we know. never entertained by the
 Tribune, the Goulds, Belmonts, or anybody else and that they should be accounted
 worthy of the credit of emanating from so distinguished and eminent sources is
 'swherein lies the honor." If Editor Pin ney will shake himself out of the trance into which he fell some years since, he viii see his way clear to write editorials advocating sound and honest currency and a sound and honest religion, instead of in- flation and repudiation, the latter ln the na-
