The hot wave has again struck town. The prospect for apples is not very prom ising.
 Rye harvest commenced the latter part of last week. The crop is very fine one. Miss Jennie Clark, who has been quite sick for the past six weeks, is very muc oh inn proved and able to ride out.
 Mrs George Judson who was taken sud- denly ill few days ago. is very dangerously i'll with bilious fever, and fears are now en- tertained for her recovery. Dr. CoIIard, of Bridgeport, is attending her. New potatoes are coming into market pret- ty plenty and the crop in this section prom ises to be excellent. Corn also begins to ar- rive but owing to the damage done to it by the wind storm it has been greatly put back
 large number of strangers are boarding in this place and our boarding houses are full, with good many more applications than they can accommodates. A good summer hotel would pay in this place, and we hope before long to see one.
 Mrs. F. s. Avery, president of the Odd Fellows Ladies Aid society, has an order for dozen cabinet photographs, which will be presented to lucky ticket holder.
 The funeral of the late MT. Agur Judson was largely attended from his residence on King street Friday afternoon, the Rev. MT. Sloan officiating. The burial took place in the Union cemetery. The bearers were Messrs. Ezra Whiting. William Lampson, A. McEwen, s. W. Beardsley, Walter Wilcoxson and Captain Charles Wilcoxson.
 The pupils of Mrs A. D. Dutton gave fine concert in Bridgeport last evening to lar ge audience Miss Ona Curtis of this place, who is one of Mrs. Dutton's pupils, sang "'Waiting'' in 8 very able manner and showed her fine soprano voice to good ad vantage. She received several bouquets.
 The dangers of the Main street crossing continue to be made evident. Mir. Walter Wheeler, of Huntington, had narrow es- cape lately. One train was coming from the east and another from the west, which he did not notice until close upon him. He backed his horse of just in time to escape injury or death. MT. Charles E. Stagg, one of our townsmen, who is quite deaf. was crossing the track at this point the other dav driving moving machine and he also came very near meeting with an accident, The railroad company are very negligent in not providing gates or 8 1agman at this crossing as it is one of the most dangerous on the road, especially to people whe approach it from the north.
 The following are some reforms your cor respondent would like to see: The selling of liquor on Sunday and the pasturing of COWS and cattle in the streets stopped. The town authorities enforce the law in re- gard to the fast driving and singing of drunken roughs on Sunday evening when our citizens are going to church. The erec- ton of gates at our railroad crossings. A graded school, and the removal of 'sTucker's building" on Main street, which is in a bad condition and which has caused the board of health to enter complaint to the SeIectmen Last but not least, the citizens of our town cause the "Union cemetery" to be kept in good shape and order, and let us make beautiful resting-place for our dead, one that will be an ornament to our town.
