NEW LYME.


The road between the New Lyme Sta
tiOn and Brownville Corners, is in its sum-
mer beauty, and cannot be surpassed by
any four miles of country road, anywhere
in the region. Its attractions are increas-
ing and some of those Of more recent addi-
ton, are perhaps among the most striking.
The fine house put up last year by Mr.. r.
L. Forman, occupies beautiful and rath-
er commanding site, and is made more at
tractiye by the high school building and
its ample grounds Of six acres, very finely
and prominently located back from the
road and across q ravine, which is to
be spanned by bridge, adding to the
landscape beauty of the spot. This build
ing and grounds have been thus devoted
to educational purposes, by The generosity
and public spirit of the citizens of the
neighborhOod-le off by the liberality of
w. e. Deming, Esq, as has been preyi-
ously noticed. This establishment is a
worthy object of pride among the people
of that section. The grounds were being
brought to a handsome grade, as we pass
ed the other day, and the interest
in the work was shown by the
numbers thus engaged and the interest,
manifested in the work. The conception
of the enterprise, and the vigor and energy
in carrying it to its completion, is com
mendable to the spirit and taste of the
people of the neighborhood. A few dol
lars, however, spent in securing larger
share OF architectural proportion and de-
sign IN the building, might have made il a
source of greater pleasure and pride, but
perhaps would have added nothing to its
substantial merit and utility.
Mr.. 0. w. Brown, who by the way has
recently been entrenching himself in the
happiness OF conjugal enjoyments, CON
duets the affairs of the Lebanon Valley
cheese factory, gave us some idea of its
business, The most satisfactory feature of
which was the fair prices obtained for its
productions, in these times when prices
are so much depressed. The first make OF
the season, in which the patrons withheld
portion of their cream, for butter making,
brought within small fraction of cents.
Mr.. B. belongs to the Brown family, from
whom the Corners take their name as
rownsville-occupying one of the corners,
where he has lived in a house of his own
building IN the early days. His name was
enrolled as patron of the TELEGRAPH the
third one of the four occupants, of the cor
ners.
Judge Deming and lady, who always do
much to make visit in that place, pleas
ant, when at home, were absent jaunimg
about the west and visiting friends. and
seeking a restoration ofimpaired health.
Wilson runs the old corner store, and
has succeeded to the business of that local
ity and carries a general stock of goods,
usually IN demand at a country store, and
appears to be making good thing of it.
The church at Dodgeville, since the de-
parture of Elder Drake, is withouta pastor,
and The people feel their loss, and regret
their separation from those-Ihe pastor and
his worthy lady-with whom they had held
such pleasant relations.
H. R. Dodge remains at his old stand,
notwithstanding intimatioBs of substitu-
| ting new and more modern structure.
Saturday seemed to be trading day and
customers were rather pressing. Dodge
combines quite number of the virtues of
the Dodge family, and holds his popularity
with an even hand. Although all the sur
roundingS are plain and unpretentious,
every thing has the association Of the old
beaten track, substantial and reliable
about it, and the people are satisfied to
follow it. Thus the steadiness of his
trade. As our friend "Uncle Tim" has oc-
cupied 50 much space about this locality,
we must hold up.
