From Our Own Correspondent
The several new brick blocks on the burnt
district are rapidly approaching completion.
Fred Seymour is daily increasing biz stock OF
hardware. Bennett and Manley are doing a
good business in the same line.
Quite number OF our citizens anticipate
going to Lawrence on Saturday evening next
TO hear Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
The NJ. E. social at A. ]. DAVIS on Tuesday
evening last was very pleasant affair, the
music and ice cream both being very nice and
refreshing.
The funeral services OF Eflie Cook on Friday
last were very largely attendedrand much sym
pathy expressed for the afflicted friends. On
the same day large barn was being raised IN
the south part of the town near Freeman Rug
giles mill, and as they were trying to use pull
leys the horses give back asd the bent fell,
killing one man instantly, and several others
barely escaped. Mr. Fishers head was cleft in
twain, and be perhaps never knew what hurt
him. Sadder still, he leaves a large family-a
wife and several children to mourn a husband S
and fathers loss. When will people learn to
exercise proper amount OF caution on such
OCCASIONS?
The memorial services in commemoration of
the death Of Bishop Ames were both pleasant
and instructive. The pulpit was appropriately
draped and decked with flowers, and the ser
mon and music very good and to the point.
With President and Marshal who are loya
to their Office, Hartford is promising to become
q more respectable and inviting town, and We
hope that il will soon be so that stangers com
that such profanity, such vulgarity, such bois-
ferrous talking is not allowed in other places.
Now, while we believe our town to be fully at
moral and refined as most other places in many
respects, yet this sort Of public nuisance has
been allowed till it has become disgrace ant
a stencil in the nostrlls Of our people; but oi
late our village board have showed disposi-
ton to purify our street etiquette little, and
instead OF snatching up noisy, drunken lndl
an or some country green-horn that did no
know any better, they have commenced at horn
and with those who know better but are to-
reckless of their own self respect and the goo
name OF their own town to do better. A ne'
reign has commenced and all are to be served
| alike
