RAILROAD TRAINs.--On Monday next the win
ter arrangement in the running time Of the Rail-
roads in this vicinity goes into effect The MORN
ing train on the Valley road win then and thereaf
ter leave Bellows Falls at I: 35 instead of 81 10
heretofore. 1t will consequently arrive here at
about 5: 80 or three-fourths of an hour earlier.
The afternoon train which now leaves Bellows
Falls at 3:45 will leave ut 2:40 1t is said that the
morning trains above Bellows Falls will be hauled
off during the Writer. The Rutland and Cheshire
roads we understand have made corresponding
changes although We have not received their time
tables.
1t will be seen by notice in another column
that the Vermont & Massachusetts, Railroad cor
poraton have decided not to run but four freight
trains week during the winter instead Of six
heretofore. This step is rendered advisable by the
diminished amount of business. Other roads will
probably diminish the number of trains from sim
liar causes.
The working time of the employees on the Val
ley railroad has beea diminished one fourth, and
their pay made to correspond. The employees on
the Vt. & Mass railroad have had their wages
locked five dollars per month.

ann we publish an account of the first days pro-
ceedings of the Massachusetts and Vermont Asso-
ciation for the improvement of horses, at Green
field. The lateness of the season, unproptious
weather and "hard times have conspired to rem
der the attendance very small. The storm Of rain,
snow and hail Of Thursday was peculiarly unfayor-
able for the display.
