 Joe. Mallinson, of the clam bake potoriety, tumbled into the big city of New York last week to see the sights, and do a little busi- ness in the interest of the shear factory, of which he is the head, and returned right side up with care Saturday evening just in time to receive legal benediction from sheriff Bald. win, in the form of a subpoena to the supreme court at Litchfeld on Monday, when the Long vs. Warner suit was held, resulting in the commitment of Fred to two months in jail
 One of the "popularitles" of the place, who supports a pair of black side boards, with just hair enough of the same hue for mus tache (nine on a side) to remind one of base ball club reports that "piece of broad cloth left the house of a well,to-do citizen last week, at five o'clock in the morning." This young modestus has not been rightly inform ed, and if he continues his imaginative re- ports in "this llne," his name will appear ID full at the next issue of the NEWS. Remem- Der they laugh best who laugh last.
 Miss Anna Yutzler has returned from New York with fine display of millinery, that shows she has exercised special care and taste in the selection of some of the nobbiest fall and winter styles to be found in the great me. tropolis. Her bewitching faculty of wearing birds, feathers, ribbons, lace, pins and bugs, with few other indispensables. to perfect 'love of bonnet" as we'll as warming over an old one so it can't be told from new must attract the ladies hitherward, making the pocketbooks of their liege lords, in conse. quence, shrink up most wofully.
 MT. George Ingraham, late of North Corn. wall, is among us, moved and settled in the Wheaton house, one of the pleasantest loca- tions in the village His better half being first class dressmaker of extensive experience wishes to announce that she will continue the business at this place, hoping to receive her share of patronage here, as we'll as retaining her many customers on the hill. ANON. Rev. c. N. Fitch of the Congregational chapel, West Cornwall, has resigned his pas- torate ofthat society to accept call from the Norwalk, Ohio, Congregational church. The church after having requested the council to refuse to advise in favor of the dismissal of pastor, passed these resolutions:
 Resolved, That we regret the action our pastor has taken. This regret is the result of that confidence in MT. Fitch which has grown up during his pastorate among us. Resolved, That we commend him as a true and faithful pastor, 8 wise counsellor, and as a preacher, a workman not to be ashamed of, and we assure him that he and his family will ever hold place in our hearts in memory of his ministry among us. Com. in behalf ot Church,

 The council of neighboring churches came to the following conclusion, wis.,:
 In the light of Providential events, we deem 1t best to advise the dissolution of the pastoral relation.
 In coming to this result the council desires to express it's sympathy with the Second Con. gregatioual Church of Cornwall, over losing it's beloved pastor.
 And we will pray the Great Head of the church that He will send another under-shep herd to guide the flock into green pastures.
 We also commend the Rev Chas. N. Fitch to the churches in the vicinity of the new field of labor to which he is called, as 6 brother beloved, eminently worthy their con fidence and brotherly regard.

 ED. NEWS We noticed an article in youl last issue stating that the report of the schoo visitors in this town was false, and making { direct attack upon one of them. Knowing something of the facts connected with the schools in this place during the past year, we trust you will allow us space to reply to tht article signed Fair Play," but which wt think would have read more like the state ments 1t contained if it had been signed "Ig noramus."
 In the fall of 1880 young gentleman wal appointed Committee who knows far more about the game of poker than he does abou schools. Feeling the importance of his grea office he expressed himself as follows: HTu Committee, and shall run the school as Tn mlnd to, and I shall hlre who I please fol teacher" We think from the result that ht did so. A young and inexperienced woman was engaged to teach, and commenced tn, school. Complaints poured in upon tht school visitors from all sides It was quite evident that this self important committe, was running the school as he was ia minc to" Although required by law to visit i twice in each term during the year. he neve once entered the school house during tha time. We are informed it was only througl compassion for his ignorance that the schoo visitors gave him a certificate to draw tht public money for the district. It seems, how ever, he sent a substitute, who visited no the school but the school mistress and not on ly twice during the term, but many times. II relation to this we would call attention to tho l ,>lo E. ed in the NEWS of July last. Doubtless many remember several items concerning the close of the village school, and of ''the great i'm provement chief attendant upon the schoo had made in branch of mathematics knowr 1 as partnership" In fact, so much of the teachers time had this young man monopoliz ed that the correspondents of nearly all tht papers mentioned it. The school for the lat ter part of the winter, and during the sun mer term, was scarcely taught at all. j. was usually after nine. and sometimes ten O. clock when it was called in the morning Frequently 1t was dismissed for noon at hal past eleven. It scarcely ever commenced the afternoon session till after one o'clock and most of the time it was dismissed fol night at little past three. Is it to be won. dered, then, that the scholars learned noth ing? We think not. The remark of one ol the former officers of the school board is very fitting. There was too much gentleman company connected with this school to have ever made success of it." One of the school visitors remonstrated upon the improper cen duct of the teacher, and it was then that the ''rebuke" mentioned in the article of last week occurred. It is quite evident that the writer did not understand the meaning of the word, though doubtless he understood it as well as what he was writing about. At the
