East Cornwall,


 The fine warm days of last week have en- tirely changed the scene in our qulet little neighberhood and every one is now busy pre- pairing for planting. Oats are mostly sowed and few have planted potatoes.
 There was no school last week as Mir. W. J. S. Mo Allister (our teacher) took vacation to attend a wedding.
 We are glad to report that Miss Hattie Lorber is much better. 50 much so that we saw her at church last Sunday.
 Miss Hattie Guild is going to leave us next week, to keep house for her father, Mr. Earl s. Guild, of Amenia, N. Y. Another of our young people is gone. How keenly we feel their absence as one by one they leaving us.
 Our neighborhood is quite lonely this sum- mer, so many of the young people are gone We shall greatly miss Hattie's gentle quiet presence among us, but we can only wish her pleasure and happiness in her new home. We are proud to announce that, at last,
 
 position, East Cornwall has tires hing mo- cltiae, which, together with other attractions will be the means we hope of keeping one of eur most respectable young men at home, or at least within the county. Last week, Mir. Elias R. Hart brought into our neighborhood one of Heebner & Sons 6ran spa1a neoo Patent Bevel Tread, two horse power, and also one of their neao Little Giant Threshers, and he pro- poses to go out with his machines wherever his his services are needed in the fall and would solicit correspondence with farmers, school marm's, and others who would be likely to re- quire his services, by the hundred. They are both well made substantial looking machines and we predict that the old Poverty Clubs' will be obliged to fall to :he rear. May he succeed in his enterprise. Potatoes are scarce and $1 per bushel is freely offered at the door with none to spare.

MIR. soLoN CHASE OF MAINE ON FINAN
CIAL QUESTIONS.

MIR. sOIoN CHASE OF MAINE ON FINAN
cIAL QUESTIONS.
The great hall of Cooper Institute
was about two-thirds filed last night by
an audience which had assembled to lis
ten to the lee ure of MIR. Solon Chase,
the Maine o aior, OH the Greenback
policy. Peter Cooper pr, sided. The
Chairman, in introducing Mr.. Chase,
remarked that it was to be the pleasure
of the audience TO listen to a gentleman
mighty mind in long course Of effo.t
to call and fix the tention of the
American people on question that de
manded the most profound coni idera-
ton and the most decided action. He
said that he believed wit "a Senator Jon. Q
when he said the present was the accept
able time to undo the unwilling and
blundering work OF 1873. The legisla-
tion referred to by that Senator TOOK
wrongfully from the soldier, the sailor,
tn. farmer, the mechanic aud the mer-
chant their money, the p ople's money,
that which the Government had paid
out for all the germs Of labor and prop
erty that were needed to save our coun-
try and secure for us and our posterity
that union and independence that was
won for us by the tolls. the sufierings
and death of our Pa riot Fathers.
Mr.. Chase, who was received with ap-
plause, assei ted that the banker had
made hims If rich by cutting down the
price of labor or reducing the power OF
money, which was equivalent to stufiing
more life into a dollar. One man Got
his dollar made larger by the sweat OF
his brow, while another got his made
larger by the law. He would ask who
gets .he richer, the producer or the bond
holder. A voice in the crowd, The
bondholder.'1 And he wou'd like to
know when John Sherman killed the
goose that laid the golden egg, and where
were they going to get any more eggs.
The shout about the revival in business
was all done for political effect. Tie
speaker attacked Secretary Sherman fol
the course he had pursued, and ridiculed
his method of peddlng ont specie in
Wall street. He asked the people to be
guided by their own convictions and moi
go on turning the gIindstone that wa'
sharpening the knife that was to be used
in cutting the hamstrings of industry
He spoke of the great reduction in pro
visions and clothing, and told OF how
not long since, he had bought pair o.
overalls for twenty cents, but he did moi
think the shopkeeper who sod then
could at that rate use much butter on his
bread, and the Sc ms ress who made
them up could certainly not use any but
ter at all. He argued that if prices were
better the woman who made up those
overalls could butter her bread on boil
sides.

"A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
The City Council last night passed an
ordinance to return to the contract sys-
tenn for cleaning the streets. This is
steps in the right direction, and will add
TO the credit of the Council with all
risht thinking men. What we want is
economy and plenty of it. Let us get
the taxes down, and thus help to get the
value Of property up. The more valu-
able property is the more labor will be
In demand for the building Of houses.
The streets require very little labor in
the winter, and for that matter the
heavy rains seem to have been our best
scavengers and so they will continue to
be no doubt.

the increase of expenditure for the pur-
