 BEDDING.
 Friday morning, your reporter accom- panied William H. Burr, H. s. Osborn and Henry Whitehead in preliminary survey of the projected road to facilitate approach to Putnam Camp. Leaving the cross road near the brow of the hill, de- scending to Taylor's old saw mill site, we kept well up the east bank Of the Lit tie river till we came to the end Of Will liam II. Burr's land; then, crossing the river, we tramped along the west bank, through Joseph Hills land and came out just east of the camp, finding nothing in the way to prevent building an easy, lev el road all the distance. The advantages of such road are too evident to all ac- quainted with the situation to need "a lengthy presentation in the BEE. It would give Bedding Ridge, Easton, Fair field and Bridgeport direct road to the Camp and, in connection with sherman turnpike, would make the most feasible route from those places to Bethel and Danbury. Aside from these advantages, it would afford charming drive in the Summer, running, as it would, between the beautiful and romantic hills that bound the Little river valley. It is to be hoped that the camp commission will see their way clear to make an appropri- ation and that the citizens of Bedding will supplement it by liberal subscript- ions that the road may be speedily built without expense to the town. The right of way will probably be given by all through whose land the road would pass. George T. Sanford has been painting George Morgan's new barn.
 The old Dea Read place was sold at auction, last week. 5. E. Gorham was the purchaser at 5000. The last owner paid $2500 for it, only few years ago. We expect that MT Gorham, with his well known energy and thrift, will put the diIapidated building in first class condition.
 James Lord and wife, who recently oc- cupied the Dea Read place, will move il with Mrs c. D. Smith.
