They Endorse Ewing.

From the Toledo Journal comes the an
nouncement, which that paper states is
authoritative, that Ladd, Wright, Jones,
(of Texas Hon. Edward Daniels, of Vir-
ginia, Peter Cooper, Gen. Weaver, Of
Iowa, besides the prominent greenbackers
of Ohio, are enthusiastic for Ewing. 1t
is also asserted that Ben Butter is solid for
Ewing, although he has not openly an
nounced his position. The Boston Globe,
Buffers organ, comes out strong and un-
equivocally for Ewing and thinks it would
be suicidal for the greenbackers Of Ohio to
do other than support the democratic
ticket The Globe undoubtedly echoes
Buffers sentiments and indicates his po-
sition. If the greenbackers ever expect
to accomplish the reforms they demand,
they should do as they have done in Ohio

Mr. Editor.-Our whole community was thrown into deep gloom on Friday morning, May 30th, by the announcement of the death of our loved and valued friend and neighbor Joseph N. Frost. He had been ailing for about three weeks, but was apparently regain ing his health and anticipated taking a ride that day. Had been up and taken his break fast with his family, after which he remarked that he felt "well enough to go to his shop, but his knees were little shaky," Soon af- ter, as he was resting on his bed, his wife in formed him the Doctor had come ''Then" replied he, 'I will get up andput on my coat, |" but, she observed that he fell back on the bed and called to Doctor, to 'hurry, Joseph is in a tit!'' A few faint beats of the pulse were ali the evidence of life that renlkined when Dr.. Brown reached the bedside.
 These particulars are given thus minutely because the deceased was known and appreci- ated not only by all his townsmen, but by many in neighboring towns, and all felt an interest in him and will feel his death almost a personal affiiction. J.

DECORATION DAY.-A company of twenty one assembled at tue West side at 9 o'clock, and as the teacher, Miss Brown, had every thing nicely arranged, each one present took a bouquet and the company all took part in the decoration of the three graves, and we heard with interest about the fall of these three sol dlers A large company gathered at the Gen. ter cemetery, in the afternoon, and when the beautiful flowers had been properly arranged, there were enough for all, and all joined in the procession led by Miss Anna Rice, whose father, Major Rice. fell at the battle of Win chester, and she gave the name, age, company | regiment and time of the death of each of the | fifteen soldiers, who gave their lives for their
 country, and every grave was strewed with 1 flowers. Then large mound of flowers was
 made in memory of those whose remains still lie at the South.

 When MT. c. H. Barper woe in Bristol, last week, he hitched his colt under the shed and left it. The animal broke it's halter and ran away, demolishing the buggy and the horse was SO badly lamed by a piece of the shaft entering one of it's hind legs, probably severing an artery that it had to be left at livery stable in Bristol. The writer offered MT. Barbour $15O for that colt, last fall, but he refused to take less than $200 for it.
 Our first Decoration Day passed off very pleasantly with us. The people gathered at the Congregational church at Il a. m., the sol diers being given the front seats. The exercls- es opened with the singing of hymn, by the choir. The chairman, Hon. A. Catlin, then gave brief account of our soldier boys. Our pastor, who belonged to a Massachusetts regi- ment made appropriate remarks, relating incl dents of the war that came under his own ob- servation. MT. Geo. W. Catlin, veteran sol dier, was next called upon, and made stirring speech, and closed by reading that beautiful poem, entitled, 'Cover them over with beauti- full flowers The congregation then sang America" After the close of the services, the veterans, citizens, boys and girls formed into three delegations and marched to the cemeteries, where the soldiers graves had each been marked by flag in the morning, and decorated them with flowers which had been previously prepared for that purpose by the ladies' The graves were those of Albro Hopkins,in in the east yard Julius Winship and Mark Wheeler (who was killed at Port Hudson, and buried by the rebels) in the cemetery north of the Center; and Wm. Wilson, Horace Thompson, and Geo. and Erastus W. Cleaveland, in the west yard After decorating the graves in this last yard, an able and appropriate speech was made by MT. c. w. Balch. Mrs. c. P. Wedge, Mrs. Joseph Van Tobel, Miss Grace Wilson and Miss Chloe Parsons deserve special mention for the tasteful and beautiful way in which they decorated and adorned the entrance gates of the west cemetery. In the afternoon, many of our townspeeple went to Wolcottville to at tend the funeral services of Mrs. Dr. J. w. Phelps, who was a native of this town.

MT. Hollister, as Minister to Hayti, under di- rection of Sec. Seward, had put these people in charge of Consul Conard, and he and his wife had boarded, lodged and protected them, under the consular flag at their house, for period of 105 days. There was hearing be- fore the Committee on Tuesday, of last week, and favorable report is hoped for.

The last of May and first of June will be recorded as of unusual heat, with the mercury at 93 degrees in the shade and vegetable and animal nature alike prostrate under it's power. The earth is dry, though showers have passed around us and the desire is universal for rain.
 In this quiet valley, we have, like the dwellers upon the hills, long since welcomed back our summer friends from the south, and most of them are housekeeping, having their own home circle, and giving free open air con- certs for our benefit, early and late.
 No unusual sickness prevails but our physicians are busy. Some cases are improv- ing, but the numerous friends of Deacon and Mrs. J. H. Linsley are pained to learn that she continues very low, and no sign of re- turning health.
 There have been more sudden deaths late ly, one of them, MT. Leman Bishop, at the age of ninety years, passed within the vail on the morning of May 24th.
 Memorial day passed without the observ- ance of few years age. Is the conclusion forced upon us that the Soldiers sacrifice is passing from the memory of this generation, and are they less worthy of tangible remem- brance than formerly? The Curtiss Cornet Band went to Roxburv, to aid in the cereme nies of the day there, where it was suitably observed.

We would advise our friends who must go out of town, to visit the beautiful new store of Messrs. w. B. Hall & Co. in Bridgeport, as this firm mean to deserve and achieve success, by presenting the best styles and qualities of goods, at the lowest market rates It is said that thair opening of spring and summer goods was grand affair, and the collection of silks, faces, parasos and mantles was particularly attractive.
