The middle of April found us with three feet of snow, but ten days later it was all gone and our streets were dry, which is quite different from the way it used to be in old Salisbury.

The Hartford Excursion.

The excursion to Hartford. given un der the auspices of the Methodist soci- ety of this village, Friday, May 7, was quite success. The excursionists num- bered 131, including 20 from East Ga naan and "A from Norfolk. The day was one of Mays best, it being neither too hot nor too cold, and the little rain two days before lessened the dust, adding to the comfort and pleasure of the party.
 But little occurred on the journey worthy of note. After leaving Pine Meadow, where for quite distance the N. H. & N. track runs parallel with the H. & 0. w., we had quite little race with train on that road. It attracted considerable attention while we were passing through Satan's Kingdom. At Collinsville we catch view of the new depot being built there, and meet Con- ductor Elmer's train. We soon pass safely over the Tarihville bridge, and in short time arrive at the Capitol City, meeting a number of gentlemen who wanted to give us g ride in their car riages, but 1t being the noon hour all give them cold shoulder. The first business was to take little something for the stomach's sake, which was easily done at the different restaurants in the city, the Waverley receiving its share oi Canaanites for dinner.
 The next thing was to make the city merchants happy. They were all very glad to see us once more, particularly our pocketbooks, they looked so nice (about o'clock). Some visited tho Gap itol, while others attended to business only. We look at our Waterbury watcl and find the hour is near at hand for u' to be at the depot if we expect to SCI the happy land of Canaan that night All arrive at the depot in time for th' train and we are soon out of sight o Hartford, arriving safely home only
 few minutes late, nothing happening t mar the pleasure of the day. W. G. H.
