 Fred Topliff has position as assistant bookkeeper at Wauregan.
 J. D. Wilson and wife attended ser vices at the Baptist church Sunday.
 H. P. Topliff has sold his insurance business at Rockville to Mir. King. For the present MT. Topliff will remain here. Through the kindness of Mrs. Coombs, Mrs. Carmon and others, who loaned pot ted plants for the purpose, the Congrega- tional church, Sunday, was very beautiful. The Easter concert given by the J. 0. B. society Sunday evening was most pleas. ing. Mrs. Agnes Avery has been untiring in her efforts to have the occasion sue. cess.
 Samuel Ledoyt and Van Bennett set 8 number of maple trees on the green last week. People in general have come to see the many natural beauties of that To. cality, which In former years were seen by but few, and as a consequence the green will soon come to rank with the most noted of pleasant places.
 Miss Abbie Fogarty, who was first em. ployed by J. B. Carmon as clerk, July 1882, resigned her position last week, as her father had engaged in business neal Danbury, and she wished to be with the family. In business relations Miss Flo. garty has been faithful to both employer and customers, and could an increase oi salary kept her here she would have re- mained. Miss Fogarty was the friend ot children, and of her ability to direct ir their small purchases they had perfect confidence

WALES.

The farm and personal property belong ing to the late Mrs. Michael Welsh, will be sold at public auction, next week Thursday, at 10 8. m.,
 A trip was taken last week by I. L. Currier of Worcester and the committee of the board of trade of Warren, consisting of J. M. Drake, G. E. Tarbell and J. G. Hastings, over the proposed route of the electric railroad from Warren to Wales. MT. Currier desired to find the feasibility of building the road in the interests of the Worcester construction company. The road if constructed would depend chiefly upon the freight, express and mail re- ceipts to make it ia paying investment, ,and in this particular would be something of a novel departure for the vicinity. In the trip to Wales three chief difficulties are met. The first Is the Maple-street hill in Warren and then there Is the choice of going over Tower hill in Brimfield or practically building a new road around it. MT. Currier was favorably impressed with the possibility of building, and further investigation will probably be made be- fore long. The preliminary work, how ever, will occupy some time, as it would be necessary to get a charter from the state, and the road itself would have to be constructed in much more substan- tial manner than the ordinary electric road
