J. B. Freeman has had the roofs of
his building coated with the coal-tar
paint advertised in this paper. The
paint is cheap, aud roofs coated with it
not only look great deal better, but
they last longer and will shed rain bet
ter. Joseph Owen is also having his
buildings protected by this waterproof
and fire proof substance.
FOrepaugh's menagerie and circus will
exhibit here next Monday. From all
the reports that we get it is show far
above the average in merit. The Mas
sachusetts papers speak very highly of
it. Those living north or south of here,
along the line of the railroads will be
furnished with half fare tickets. The
trains run just right to accommodate
people in both directions.
The Newport Eapress has succeeded
in getting correspondent in this place
who proposes to make special mention of
all that is discreditable and unsavory.
A village of this size can furnish paper
that desires to publish it, and a cor
respondent who delights to feed upon it,
with filth enough to make quite a smell.
But those who throw stone should not
live in glass houses.
One of the workmen in the Robinson
Of their new hall, one day last week.
He tried to see how quick he could 60
from the gallery to the lower floor with
out the aid of stairs. He started head
first, just as boy dives in the water,
and made the trip in one fourth of a
second. No damage done, except the
smashing in of the top of carpenters
bench.
One of our contemporaries thus ''nicely'
serves up an obituary notice: "The adj

that filled the entire house. The music
in charge of Mr.. - was excellent, anC
the exercises were all neatly carried out
The floral decorations were mostly il
charge of Misses and W,
must say they surpassed anything eve
seen in this village" &C., &c.
