There are now four religious societies in Chester. The Baptists, the Methodists, and the Universalists, have each a large attendance, the former holding meetings three times a month and the latter once in four weeks. Of course there is some rivalry between them, but last Sunday, and we suppose it was as usual, the Congregational Church was better filled than it was six years ago when that was the only one in the village.
The shoe manufactory of J. S. Corning & Co., at this place, is doing quite an extensive business. Their work, says a correspondent, is 'first class,' as they employ none but the very best workmen.
Chester Academy, (built in 1854,) has upwards of 50 students, during this, the Spring Term.
The place has been somewhat beautified during the past few months, by setting out ornamental shade trees, which, with the older ones, that extend for a mile upon the street, makes it one of the prettiest villages in New England.
