Cornwall Bridge.

Mrs. Sarah E. Fierce, Of Mer1den, IS visiting her brothers on Beers Hill, her native place.
 The trout streams here which were stocked last spring are very low, and much anxiety is felt by those interested that they may be failure.
 Tobacco crops need rain, and unless coming in few days, cannot yield more than two-thirds of what was expected. Perhaps the quality may make up in the price. We hope so at least
 Landlord Bradley lately purchased a valuable coach dog, which has become entirely domesticated through the ad- vice of his friend Zal, which cannot be persuaded to leave him.
 A quiet sensible wedding was solemn ized in our villuge, the contracting par ties being Oscar Halcomb, Esq, for merly of Cornwall, and Miss Emma Howe of our village. Kind wishes from all their friends
 We notice the town of Sharon are widening the road from their place to Cornwall Bridge, an improvement much needed. Through their exertions the Hollister Brothers are engaged doing the job, and have given good satisfac- tion. So far as learned
 The Bradley Hotel is giving the best of satisfaction to all patrons, notwith- standing the attention the proprietor is giving to his seed garden, which prom ises to be very prolific. Thomas Lawless the very obliging and gentlemanly clerk, is giving good satisfaction to all who call.
 The Hatch Brothers have lately added to their extensive territory, and are mak- ing vast improvements on the old Smith place, by uprooting sprouts, digging ditches, fencing, etc. Their crops for dry weather are looking fine, as they should with their care. Their grapery cannot be excelled. They have as fine a lot of young horses as can be pro- duced in the town of Sharon, and we think they can hold the first premium on swine.
 Master Charley Hatch held birth day party last Thursday, composed of Miss Emma Nickerson's school. On their return President Beers, of the Willing Workers, appeared with his splendid pair of Morgan horses, driving the children to their respective homes. Mir. Beers seems to have faculty, as he is an old wall layer, to chink in more chil- dren into load than any other friend to children in our mind. Their mirth- fitness was observed by the whole neighborhood as Uncle Hen drove them back and forth to unload. No reflection on ex-President Grant. Among the most conspicuous of the little girls was Miss Jennie Reed, granddaughter of. SamuelS. Reed, first selectman of our town, neither of when need blush for their record on any occasion. Miss Edith Wadhams deserves great credit for the discretion and good judgment of getting up the party. We have not heard of any one being sighted, invita- tions being general from said school. Miss Oracle Brown was one of the life of the whole party. Miss Emma Mallory, though last but not least, was very prominent on the occasion. Talk ing the whole on an average it was very enjoyable affair. w.Ps.

 MT. J. N. Fox is still improving, as reported several weeks ago. If s'Semi'' doubts it ask MT. F., he can speak for himself

 It is expected the new carpets for the church will be putqdown this week, and that next Sabbath the house will be in order.
 Beebe celebrated the event of his moving into his newI residence in East Canaan, last week, by an old fashioned house warming. A large number were present, and with dancing and refresh ments the evening passed away very pleasantly.
 The reader of the NEWS would think there had been a greet diptheria scare here, but we have had only one case, and that several weeks ago. Your cor respondent evidently knows about as much of the facts in the case as a corset agent would about the heart throbs of & brotherhood of locomotive engineers.
 We are still further informed that the Sabbath school is increasing in attend ance, and now numbers over forty scholars Our Sabbath school numbers between one and two hundred, and the average attendance is about eighty. I wonder what church this reporter at tends. SEMI-OCcAsIoNA1,
 One slight shower this week, for which let us be duly thankful
 Many of the summer boarders are fitting. Too bad, September is decid- edly the finest month to enjoy the coun- try.
 The Miners, descendants of Robert and Alusa Miner, will have family picnic on Tuesday aft ternoon of this week. Wish them fair day
 Miss Brainard, neice of Mr. Ives, and
