PREPARING FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
 Marshall Warner is now making prep arations for big fall campaign in car- pet weaving. Mr Warner has well es- tablished reputation for doing the best possible work in his line at rates that render competition impossible. At 1Oc a yard for hit-or- miss and 15c yard for striped carpets he should have all he can do through the fall, especially when one considers the painstaking care with which he performs all his work.

WARREN.

D. E. Gardner left the parsonage on Tuesday for New Haven, Middletown and Hartford, and to return to Chicago during this week. His impresson is that the presence of the United States troops was fortunate occurrence. That it awed the malcontents, and that nasty withdrawal of the same, would not be wise. His visit to the White City, since the destruction by fire of all the great buildings around the Grand place, en- abled him to mark the astonishing con trast to it's former self of one year ago. Everything in ruin save the Goddess Of Liberty standing in the basin in front of the once magnificent administration building. Their destruction was incen- diarism on grand scale. The

flames were beyond the ability of the they reached there, seven miles away The destruction of property by the mot's of strikers was very painful to be- hold. MT Gardner says the government of Chicago is but second Tammany. It is Gotham improved and revised.
 Hay makers are busy here, and in few days some will have gathered in their harvest of hay. Rye is ready for the sIckle or cradle, and the crop is fair. The rains of late have been most re- freshipg and timely.
 The incoming of boarders at Lake War amaug is not large, owing doubtless to the general paralysis of business in the country at large, especially in the cities. Business men have had 8 struggle to keep their heads above water, and money has not been plenty enough to warrant spending as much time as formerly in a quiet retreat among the hills aud noun tains of old Iitchfield. D. R. Gardner, with his mother and niece, had, however, d very interesting ride ill the little steam craft on the Lake on Monday, July Is. | They pronounced it fine. In some re. spects it resembles ride on Lake George, though the mountains around the latter, are higher and the water more nearly transparent. Waramaug. however, is gem of the first water, and those who have not been on each, may fad enough in connection with this, tc satisfy any reasonable curiosity.
 The weather is too warm to speak of Yet the husbandman has not retired tC the shade. The work of making hay has been constant, and hay dries to excess on the same day it is cut. All hail tt the farmers!

RoXBURY CITIZENS SMILE.

The splendid showers of Saturday evening and night and the old fashioned rain on Sunday have caused the citizens of Roxbury to again smile, ana Ghings look little brighter for the coming win ter, for if rain continues we shall have some corn and potatoes. If another week like the past had continued Lhe corn and potato crop would have been entirely ruined, as corn had become wilt ed in many pieces so that it did not re- vive through the night. The late plant ed potatoes will soon revive while some of the early pieces the tops are dead. They are past help. The rain will help the mown meadows and give new life to the parched-up pasture Change of atmosphere makes new life tC enter everyone and everything.

But with little exertion now, as the matter has come up, your correspondent thinks that matters can be so arranged so we can have the park and furnish nice place for the peo- pie, both young and old, to congregate and enjoy their leisure hours just as well as to be driving around on some back roads, as they have been wont to do, so as to avoid the dust we presume.

YE IRREPRESSIBLE BOOK MAN.
 Book agents have been more plentiful in these parts, the past week, than sum- mer showers or the toads that follow them. Three were around in une day The one who appeared first on the field was dapper young man from Massa- chusetts who descanted volubly upon What women can do." If some one would only write book upon what a woman cannot do when she sets herself about it, it might prove an unbounded success. Morris is fine field for a book agent and the young man from Massa- chusetts is said to have taken 20 names of subscribers in one day. The other two, finding the ground so well covered, retired to fresher fields and pastures green.
