 The common, neatly moved over by G. B. Marble recently, presents very pleas. ing appearance. Now If it could be har. rowed over and herds' grass sown, with fertilizer scattered broadcast, quite crop of good grass would be the result, to say the least; and in an aesthetic and mate. rialistic point of view the change would be wholesome indeed.
 Speaking of the Hill, as will be seer below, we can't refrain from alluding to the greatly improved condition and ap pearance of the neighborhood of Village Hill, as observed on recent ride through that part of old Willington. That pre- cinct, too, looks better than 1t did fifty years ago. We have hereinbefore spoken of the great Improvements in other parts of the town.

 When Dr. Higgins, now of South Gov entry, first came here to settle some few years ago, he was directed hither by al item that originally appeared in this col umn, copied into large New Englant paper, setting forth the need of phy sician in this vicinity. The same neet aaoso exists, and may this item bring abou a like result. More than one city resi- deIt has been prevented of late years iron buying summer home in this vicinit, solely from the fact that there is no resi- dent doctor.
 As was briefly alluded to in this column last week, Mrs. Belle c. Sleight, who hat come home to the father, George A. Cos grove's, for the summer, met with an ugl, accident Wednesday afternoon, the 1Stl inst. While, in spirit of helpfulness and for the first time in her life (and prob ably the last), she was helping load hay she fell from the wagon and broke he right arm. The horse, which was unde the immediate control of her father, ha, unexpectedly started up, which threw tn amateur hay maker off the load. Tn force of the fall was broken by her dra pery catching on one of the stakes of tn hay wagon, else the result would hay been far more serious. The injury, tech nically expressed, was dislocation of tn elbow joint, with rupture of It's fragments The patient accepts the situation with he usual cheerfulness, and she surely ha the sympathy of her friends and neigh bors. She is attended by Dr. 0. B. New ton of Stafford Springs, who hopes for steady and speedy recovery. The shut-i is now practically reversing the scriptura injunction, rendering 1t 'Let not thy righ hand know what thy left hand doeth." The Hill, now in It's summer clothing is more picturesque than ever. City call CTS grow more and more pronounced i their expressions as to the excellence c its situation, air, water, etc. We haven thought much about 1t, but the Hill, wit the exception of the deserted Baptist pal sonage, was never in better shape, take from every point of view, than now.
