LITCHFIELD.

 Mir. E. Wilson disposed of his telegraph line. running through the Nangatuck Valley, from New Haven to Hartford, some tim, since, to the American Telegraph Company. We havn,t learned whether he made, on retiring any arrangements to secure that promised maintainance of the line for the next eighteen years to Litchfeld, which was the condit ;on of the Sl'ooo bonus given him by our citizens. Ws presume, however, that we are tolerably secure Of the line, from the fact, that this is9 the best paying office on this line north of Waterbury The line is now in frst-rate running order, and the new company to which It IS attached affords greater facilities than ever TOT the transmission of messages, to all parts Of the country, and at less cost than heretofore
 fernaps We may say. in this connection, that the American Telegraph Company has lately putin operation line through the western part of the County, running up the TIousatonic saiiey' Win offices all along the road; so that all our border towns are now within easy hail oi inc County seat. ID. H..
 Two of our we'll known fishermen went . fishing on Bantam Lake on Sunday night They fshed for the fish called suckers They caught mess, and ls! the bottom of the boat was covered herewith. When they came to depart hence they naturally pulled up stakes, and in withdrawing them from the mud, they upset the boat, and caught a duck One can,g up out of water on top of the boat, and the -other under it. He was fshed out, however, without greater damage than large scare in his head. When asked what he was doing under the boat at that time, Tom replied, ''Looking for his suckers!'' But they were goners, and Thomas, though he was so nearly gone sucker himself, felt their loss more se- verely than he did that of his syellow botys'' in Barnum's Museum. The fishermen re- turned home wiser and wetter men, and con- cluded that suckering don't pay, on Sunday nights Itwoald have been sure thing for Tom, though, if he hadn't been succored. But he wasn't born to be drowned" he says. At the Annual Meeting of the Li.chfeld County Medical Society held in this town, on Thursday last, April aoth. D. E.
