an excellent one and entitled to better
patronage than II received here. Il plays

--Messrs. Hemingway & Hayes, the
contractors for extending the east pier,
have sunk. two forty foot cribs and have
two more ready to put in place when the
stone arrives One more crib is being
constructed which, when put in place will
complete their contract for the 200 feet ex.

"A new feature Of the campaign tacits
have been introduced in the village by
some of the disorderly and baser sorts, by
the pelting Of peaceable and orderly citi-
zens with stones and foul missils while
parading our streets with torches. How
does this affect the sensibilities of the
Neaos man and the reputation of the viii
lage?
"A white, lady grape-a Seeding of
the Concord-with large clusters fine and
remarkably compact, sweet in flavor, ex-
ceiling many of those raised under glass,
hardy and vigorous growers-have been
raised by Messrs. Seymour & Downs, nurs-
cry men, of South Norwalk, Ct. The Ga
zette thinks the fruit worthy Of general
culture.
The new road connecting the ridges
between the old Roger Griswold place
and that of j. H. Woodman has just had
the benefit Of the expenditure of a 1876 ap-
preparation from the Trustees. The get
ting down from Bunker Hill has been
made somewhat easier and safer, but
furher outlays are needed to put it in
proper order.
The trimming up of the parks was
begun on Wednesday of last week by
Councilman Haskell, assisted by Prof.
Trimmer. The job is a much needed one,
but it strikes us that if it had been begun
in the spring it would have been better.
The work has been well begun, and our
trust is that the discretion and judgment of
Councilman H. will control him to the end.
The Standard seems little Jealous
over the assertion Of the preponderating
decency and respectability of the Repub-
lioan, as compared with the Democratic
party. The ratio of virtue was fixed ''pre-
ponderatingly" in the comparison, as used
by President Hinsdale. There is no firmer
position than that, and we are sorry to see
our neighbor show a captious disposition
in matter so well settled.
The rock cutting at the Gulf under
the contract of the Blakeslee brothers
was brought to close on Saturday last.
The rock has been removed and used for
widening the track below and in filling a
portion of the track The material is
pretty rough for Travelled path, for pres
ent use, but there is hope for Stacking in
due time, we suppose. From the cutting,
too near the bridge, there is a large amount
of ballasting to be done, which no dOubt
should be done county-wise.
The season of advertising is upon us,
and the drafts upon our space are hard to
meet. This of course is temporary, but
while it lasts it is imperious and exacting
