 It is very dull and quiet here. Only few of the large number of the boarders and visit ors which come every season have arrived yet but very soon they are expected. The Hammnasset House is ready with ample ac- commodations, and those house where private board can be obtained are numerous. Farm CTS are busy gathering their hay crop in, and soon harvesting will be the order of the day, although grain is very backward this year in this vicinity. The hay crop is heavy, but perhaps not as good quality as last year. Quite number of our farmers are raising wheat. Some tried 1t last year and succeed ed in obtaining an article of superior quality It has been thought for many years that this grain could not be grown here to any profit, or of quality comparing at all favorably with western raising.
 Mir. Elizur Norton is rearing his new building for market purposes, and expects to have it ready soon for business
 MT. Charles Bristol again occupies his old market, which MT. Newton has been using for a year, and we understand that it is well stocked with meat, etc.
 There is no reason why Madison people may not live with four markets and eight stores, if they can only get money enough to pay the steep prices which are demanded. Where there is so much competition it would seem that there would be lower prices.

This was refused because it was stated to the town authorities that the child came from Hartford, and Mrs. Bulkley could not tell who the parents of the child really were.
 Coroner Bollman on being notified of the facts concluded to investigate the matter and to this end sent Dr. Bellosa to Mrs. Bulkley s to inquire into the cause and manner of death of the child preliminary to the coro- ner's investigation.
