 saF We extract the following from leading editorial in last weeks Waterbury American:-
 THE BOSTON HARTFORD AND ERIE RAILROAD AND THE BRIDGE OVER THE HUDSON RIvER-The Bos- ton Hartford and Erie road, the route of which is already decided, and upon which work will be commenced early in the spring, comes into Water bury on the present Hartford, Providence and Fshkill track. It crosses the Naugatucl railroad near the Hartford freight depot, and takes course across the meadows, passing back of Browns mill and Dog's Nest. It crosses the Naugatuch river by the wooden bridge. and runs parallel to the Naugatuck railroad about three miles Near Plat's mills it strikes Off westward through the hills Its line will be somewhat devious. It will pass within a quarter of mile of Southbury and about four miles from Woodbury, but will touch no other towns until it reaches Danbury. From Danbury it's course is northwest. It crosses the Harlem road at Brewster station and then passing through a series of winding valleys in the Highlands it reaches Fishkill on the Hudson. The present bill before the New York Legislature pro- poses to throw suspension bridge across the riy- CT at Anthony's Nose, where the banks are very high and the bed of the stream is narrow. The paint is about three miles below Fshkill and five miles above West Point. The bridge will be about 150 feet above the water and will not obstruct nav gaton in the least, it will be about 16OO feet long and will be prepared for railroad There is no opposition yet manifesto to the bridge scheme in New York, and it will probably be car ried into effect immediately. The Boston. Hart ford and Erie road is under contract to be finished in sixteen or eighteen months.
 Too Low RATE OF SPEED A few days since the engine of one of the Naugatuck trains troze fast to he hrack near Wolcot vile. It took an hour and half to thaw it out with boiling water A novel style of making connections!''

 Bssy~ Probably no one has supposed that MT, Dickens was responsible for the frauds that have been so much complained of in the sale of tickets for his readings. The following facts regarding the New Haven affair show how unjust such suspicion would be-. ..i...,s. :.--- ,-4l MT. Dickens agent, Mir.
