years ago is departed. The village is nc longer the metropolis of the county, the center to which run all it's main thorough fares, the home of its lawyers, containing the only bank, and all the business offices of the county, and numbering among its citizens many prominent in state and na tion. But its very quiet and dignified re tirement Is now a great attraction. It is q village of well kept houses beautiful lawns mostly open to the street, as if to invite rather than repel the tread of neighbors. Taste appears everywhere, and it would seem that crime and care could nowhere find entrance, save as it comes in custody of the sheriff, handcuffed and for safe in. carceration while polluting this Eden by its presence. Four times year court comes with it's hustle, and the piping bel of the ancient temple of justice disturbs the quiet, not too noisily-just in keeping with all the surroundings. Back hidden from view stands the home of industry, Hollands only manufactory, the works oi ing whistle occasionally troubling this s11 burban quiet seems like bit of the 18th century away from home. Many of Tol- and sons, favored by fortune, come each year from distant homes, to spend sum. mer months in the "Old Street." Others of less grateful mind assiduously try tc rob it of its chief possession, the old court house, and give 1t to some younger up- start village. Shame on all sons of Tol land thus engaged.
 -The County House at Holland is well conducted by MT. G. F. Johnson, who has bean its landlord since March. MT. John. comes from Brooklyn, Conn.,, where he kept the Mortlake House, in manner SC satisfactory as to bring to Holland the en- dorsement and patronage of the many Willimantic people who have business at both courts. He is ably seconded in his work by Mrs. Johnson, who is a capital and painstaking landlady.

 -The Woman's Missionary association, organized by the ladies of the Congrega- tional church of Holland in October last. has proved a success beyond the hopes of the most sanguine.

 Last Friday, while the boys were out at recess at the Center school, Tommie Manning wanted to wrestle with Harry Fuller. Harry was not desirous but Tom mic caught hold all the same, as boys are apt to do, and Harry fell, or was thrown to the ground with Tommie falling on top. In some way his left arm struck stone and the bones in the fore arm were broken. Dr. Clark of this town and Dr. Rockwell ot Rockville were summoned, and reduced the fracture.
 F. P. Mack, who occupies the store of c. Young & Co.,, has introduced a coffee mill and dried beef er-implements that are new to Holland stores-and some other innovations are in contemplation.
