 . John l.. Miner is spending a few days in Cornwall. Will J. Gold has also returned to the corner house.
 We have to record the hairbreadth escape of several baseball contestants. Although many were badly bruised, 1t is thought in time all will recover.
 The Sharon base ball club, assisted by Woolsey Calhoun, and Snyder, of Cornwall, played match game with the Litch6eld club, on Saturday of last week, in this place, in which the former were victorious by a score of 29 to 10.
 If a stranger had been passing through Cornwall Plain on the afternoon of the base ball game, he might have asked tho same question the Yankee did when he took his first promenade on Broadway-''w whose (uuer- al is it?" Such a crowd has never been seen here since the days of general training. Everybody almost visited the ball grounds.
 We notice several asthetic young men wearing knee brooches and blue stockings, after the fashion of the "Mild Oscar" A little sawdust properly applied would add very much to the effect. Country-men tuck tuck their brooches into the tops of their boots which amounts to the same thing as knee brooches.
 The cut-worm has taken @ new departure that is more destructive than ever to tobacco. He waits until the tobacco is foot high, and then he climbs up and eats out the centre and so spells the plant, after it is too late to set out another, and if this don't mako the worthy granger swear it is because he has not learned how.
 We notice that correspondent "E." gave the entire credit of the good management of the Beers House to MT. Whiting. But how about the senior partner, MT. Beers, who has "trained down" in the bushes so that he could engage with boating crew as coxswain as far as weight is concerned and to add to his other attractions he is a batchelor with Atty thousand dollars. And Fred, the hand some ard attentive coachman, is entitled to some credit, for the girls all say that he is just splendid and in these days when the girls run away with coachmen, it will be well for him to look sharp that no one runs away with him.
 The following are the arrivals at the Beers House for the week ending July 22: Bridge port, Mrs. Geo. Shelton 6 daughter; Pough' keepsie, Stephen Goodheim; New York, Chas. Chapiu, Alex Agar, Mrs. Agar, Belle Agar, Chas. Agar, Hattie Agar and nurse J. M. Patterson, Jr., Mrs. Horace A. Foote Horacei C. Foote, Shermaman K. Foote, k. A. Palmer, Wm. T. Jerome James B. Smith Mrs. J. Smith, c. L. Smith Sharon, Conn.,, Chas L. Knight; Bridgeport, Dr. E. T. Par sons, Dr. Charles E. Sandford, MT. & Mrs E. E: Hubbell and daughter. The schools have all closed, the last one in the 10th District on Friday of last week. This school has been kept for the past year by Miss Lizzie M. Chipmaun and as Miss Chipmann always keeps a good school this was no exception to the rule. The only thing to be regretted is that there is not more such teachers; and if there was there would be less backward pupils. The idea that any teacher is good enough for a backward schoo is what is running the schools of Cornwall but they are the schools that need the bes instruction. A teacher of Miss Chipmanni experience and talent would do moro fol one of these schools in one term, than scbool girl-teacher would in five. E. | Salisbury. Rev.
