 Jan. 10.-The fine flakes of snow as they fell Tuesday formed on the trees and the limbs and the branches, and made a fine sight. It could be seen to good advantage by standing south of the green in front of the southington Savings bank and looking up and down Main street. Berlin avenue was fine to look at also.
 The number of people who live on the center streets of the town where the stores are have the full benefit of the hustle and hurry of our business streets and they like it and are pleased at whatever takes place to their benefit, and their ideas and opinions of what changes should be made are to be weighed against all who live outside, as they are more interested in things near | their own homes. Any excitement in the town streets is noted by them more than by others, and life has a more spirited way about it than to people on the outside.
 There is nobody going about looking for work here with no prospect what ever of getting it. There is something to do for all of us.
 A noble stag living in all the beauty of it's wild home and feeling as proud as any stag appeals to the heart of bold huntsman and yet his horns are of use What do you think they are used for if you do not already know? You need not guess longer. They are used for knife handles, but there is one man here who has turned stag horn into a tool for making holes in the ground to set out plants in. It is some thing which meets the purpose.
 This is a good winter and the like of it we have not had for was going to say, many winters, but what was last winter unless a deep snow winter, but with that exception for five or six years. It is a fine season, this from beginning to end, and we have people here who like it. Why, as we remember back month or so, we call to mind young women who have found it the thing to get out on the streets on the coldest days. They like it and that Is reason why, if the sleighing is good, you should take one of your sisters to the Elm Tree Inn in Pennington, a splendid town. Take your sister and two or three of her girl friends with you.
 It Is a good long time since the old shop was burned down where the cut lery is now, and still it may be easily recalled by the tall chimney which stood in the ruins long afterwards The old shop was a place where plenty to do was the order of the day at times, and then there was nothing to be in a hurry about. Now we have shop five times as large and business thriv- | ing.
 With no big fire for some time back | the insurance companies must be sat isfied with what risks they have assum- ed on property here. We hope the com panies will make money.
 What is there which looks nicer than string after string of dried apples hang ing out in the yard near farmers house, but it is seldom that we see such a sight now, as the other way of curing apples is Mixed better, cutting them In slices and spreading them out on pan and evaporating them. There is a diff ference between an apple dried and an evaporated apple, but the more evapo- | rated apples we have the less will we see of the stringed dried apples. The apples sliced and stringed and hung up | look good.
 There is to be a social here on Fri day night, of which mention has before been made. The young people in it will have a good time.
 There was skating on the old canal week ago, but no skaters were there. The canal is not used and the skating may not have been found out, but it was a good place.
