 Falls Village.
 Gardner, Gus. Caldwell, Geo. Smith and Fred. Young, formed quite family group in their Twin Lakes camp last" week They were visited last Wednesday night, by a couple of friends, and the original campers made so much racket, the visitors couldn't sleep. Dry Joslyn was also called on at the R. R. Co.'S. picnic grounds. Dry says the campers are beginning to come in thick and fast, although it isn't time to expect 8 rush until next month. Dry has fine lot of boats to let, and also sells cigars, soda, small beer etc., and he is meeting with good success. For picnic parties, the R. R. grounds canno. be excelled anywhere, and some day they will certainly receive the recognition from pleasure seekers that they deserve.
 -"Washburn's last sensation" didn't sen- sate here very tremendously last Monday, al- though it's tent was pitched for two enter tainments. In the afternoon, there being so few present, it was announced that there would be no show until night; and in the evening, the crowd being still smaller than be- fore, the idea was giyensup in disgust. On the whole, the stop at this place was not a lucky one. Sunday night Mir. Washburn dismissed one of his men, and in the morning found his $lO0. gold watch stolen, supposed to be the work of the discharged man, as he could not be found in the morning. The show is said to be a very good one, and worthy of patronage, and one reason why mo- body came out, is, that the advance agent did his work in such slovenly manner that very few were aware that there was to bea show here. There were no hand-bills circulated, no newspaper advertising but a few pictures pasted on the old lime store house, and Autograph in each store.
