George Mellish, an old time Wood
stock printer, made us pleasant call
this week. He is visiting his mother,
Mrs. Stephen Mellish, and looking
o, err the scenes of his boyhood. He is
on the staff of the Boston Daily Ad-
ce1tiSer, a position he has filled for the
past ten years.
Joel Eaton, Esq, one of our Oldest
and most respected business men died
this morning aged SO years. The ce-
dar has fallen. The familiar face of
Joel Eaton will be greatly missed on
our streets, for he was an active, faith
full, and industrious man, and in fact
it may be said that he died in the har-
ness, mot being away from business
more than two weeks. He was good
man in every sense of the word,
In last weeks issue of the AGE our
Taftsville correspondent found fault
with the usage the company" from
that vile received at the Hartford
Soldiers Reunion. We can't see that
they had any reason to complain. The
veterdns were all taken care of and
treated handsomely by the citizens Of
Hartford, as all attest whom we have
questioned. If man was born ten
years after the war closed, and took
his "sisters, his cousins and his aunts'
to the Reunion, expecting a free lunch,
and didn't get it, served him right.
Surprising you did belong to the COM
pany and carried gun, that did not
make you "veteran"-it was volun-
tary on your part-no "dratt" about
it, consequently you should straighten
up, be man, and pay your own
"shot." With invited guests it was
different, they were taken care OF and
Crank did not count for anything.
We think when our Taftsville friends
look at this in its true light, they will
see that they have no reason to COM
plain.

"Booths, ""Pavilions," or "Bazaars,"

lit for terms, location, etc.
The handsomest lot of shelves ever
seen by any human being can now be
seen at L. p. Archibald's marble
works, High Street, made from Span
ish, German, French, and other fancy
marbles, which he sells at from So to
81 each, Go and lcok at them for a
curiosity, if nothing more.
The other night South street grass
window kettled up her notions by
drinking deep, sailed out, and charged
on the evening air with the following
plaintive note: 80, fetch my Willie
back to me, that / once loved SO dear p
William heard the lamentation of the
fair one, was obdurate, and refused tc
comfort her. No, the lamentation Of
old jeremiah would not draw him il
that direction. He'd been there be-
fore.
