BUILDING OPERATIONS AT THE DEPOT.
 Work is now we'll under way on the new block of William A. Watts, which in size is to eclipse the old structure of Bak- CT & Brinsmade. Mason George Chase and men were engaged, last week, on the foundations. The building will be LOOK 70 feet, two stories. On the second floor a hall for the Masons will be arranged, BOXES, while on this floor also will be the private apartments of MT Watts and fam fly. The lumber for the new building is being furnished by s. Ford Seeley, with the exception of the stills, which is being gotten out by c. S. Wetmore S Son of Judd's Bridge. The block will be built under the supervision of Messrs Prindle & Bacon. It is said that Mir Watts confidently expects to be settled in his new store by August 1.

A NEW REAL ESTATE BOOM.

Now that most of the desirable build- ing sites have been picked up about Washington Green, the attention of wis., itors is being drawn to other sections. The purchase by Compton of tract of Edson Seeley has brought to notice prominently the ridge in the rear and to the south of MT Seeley's house overlook ing the Shepaug valley. From any point along this ridge the view is unsurpassed in beauty. The distance from the Green is less than half mile, and we should not be surprised that if within 10 years this entire ridge was built up.

AN ELABORATE AND ATTRACTIVE JEWEL
 RY STORE.

l AN ELABORATE AND ATTRACTIVE JEWEL | RY STORE.
 In the fire of January last, the block
 Of Seth Pratt, containing the fine jewell
 ry store of Ernest l.. Pratt, was de-
 stroyed, and Mir Pratt's store, which was
 undoubtedly the most elaborate and con-
 taining the largest stock of any jewelry
 store in Litchffeld county, was only a | memory. The owner of the block set l about at once to replace the burned
 building, and about May 5, MT Pratt
 was able to open his new store to the public. The new store is by all odds
 more attractive than the old. Every
 thing is new, bright as dollar just out
 of the mint. The walls have been deco
 rated with excellent taste. The body is
 light blue. The ceiling is light shade
 of blue, over which are light gold fig
 ures. 'Rhe store is lighted by the Pull man Automatic Chandeliers. The cases and fixtures throughout are cherry, and were furnished by N. N. P. Scott of Brooklyn. In the front of the store is an immense clock, built by the Gilbert Clock Go. of Winsted. It has cherry case, to correspond with the furnishings, and has mercuriaI pendulum; The wall decorating was done by W. D. Rosback, who certainly executed fine piece of work. The for mer safe of MT Pratt went through the fire all right, but he replaced it with safe weighing 6200 pounds, 72 inches in height, 34 inches deep and 46 inches wide. It is one of the famous Herring, Hall & Marvin safes. The safe is pro. tected by the Jewelry Security Alliance. Very few safes protected by this com pany are ever molested, as the robbers are hunted by every possible means. While of course MT Pratt sincerely re- gretted the fire, it has given him an op- portunity of replenishing his store when prices are down to hard pan. Every thing in his stock is new, and his long experience in the business has enabled l him to select just the stock his customers call for.
