NEW LYME.

New Lyme is pleasant place to visit.
We have been in several different localities
and neighborhoods of the township, and
always with pleasure. The other day the
trip was made to Brownville. Brownville
is reached by hack, run by the Potter
House to and from the morning train from
Ashtabula. The four miles lying between
these points are accomplished at a leiSurely
jog-stopping along the route to distribute
the mail matter of each individual received
at the post Office at the station. This route
is nearly a continuous village, as we have
had occasion to state before. Our admir-
alton Of that four mile trip, was is no way
lessened from former ones. 1t is one OF
more than common beauty. Its attractions
are on the increase. as.year by year one or
more new residences are put up. Beside
those which have on former occasions been
alluded to, we have now to notice the com
pletion Of the dwelling of Mr.. Il. R. Dodge
of good proportions and tasteful in design.
It labors under the difficulty from its sur
roundings of not being seen and spProcia-
ted until you get in frSnt Of it; it is hedgsd
in on both sides. 1t really deserves better
opportunity to show itself, and suffer itself
to be admired. This Mr.. D. informed US
was, at no distant day, likely to be effec-
ted. The old store which is so successful
ly run by Mr.. Dodge is considerably anti
quated, and somewhat sober if not dilsPi-
dated in its appearance, and in the course
of human events must give place to somS-
thing more modern and in harmony with
its chaste and beautiful neighbor. The
deformity and blot upon portion OF the
street is a number of old, dscayed, useless
and unoccupied rookeries, some OF which
are to be removed, and all OF which might
be, to the great improvement OF the street.
A great accession to..ths comeliness and
attractions of the easterly portion Of the
street is the unfinished house Of Mr.. R. L.
Forman, opposite the site Of the school
building. This is happily chosen spot
for so fine house. and Mr.. Forman has
done himself justice in adapting the strue'
ture to its location, so that all should be
in harmony and become landmark OF so
much prominence and pleasure to the
neighborhOod. This is not the only thing
Mr.. F. has shownsgood taste and level
head in-hS placed his name upon the list
of the TELEGRAPH, adding another evidence
to the fact..tha the TELEGRAPH list is not
surpassed in the weight of character OF us
readers. The house is enclosed and paint
ed, and Mr.. TOpky's forces were engageo
in the work of timing, which "as hnisheu
on Saturday last. Another house is soon
TO 90 up near the one described-that OF
Mr.. WallinE, to which aliusion has hereto
fore been made. Mr.. W. il now erecting
his psru. and the house, we were told, Is to
he an imposing one. The school house is
located directly in front Of these places
across swale and upon a gentle rise.
Here again sound Judgment and good
taste have been exercised in the selection
Of location. 1t is back from the road in
the midst of the six acre plat so generously
given BY Judge Demming. It's surround
ings are broad and ample, and its large
ness conveys to the mind an idea OF the
generous liberslity Of the plan and con-
ception Of the enterprises thought that
will have It's effect in securing success.
We found Judge Deming about home,
occupied with the persuits Of the farm.
In this he finds employment OF mind aud
body and sanitary vigor and enjoyment
! The only difficulty about it IS as the othsr
