NEW MILFORD. ii

The unsafe condition in which the Town and Probate Records of this place are kept is attracting the attention Of sour citizens, and the Danbury Times states that they are contemplating the erection of suita- ble fire proof pulling for ,a town house. At present the Town Clerk and Judge of Probate both have their offices in wooden
 buildings in the most thickly settled part of the village, and in case of another fire such as those that formerly swept over that locality. the records would without doubt be destroyed. s%,a s%n,a1.., o. ,-4hi
 If the people of New Milford would con sider the disastrous effects of such an acci- dents they certainly would lose no time in providing g proper place for the offices,
 where they will belremoyed from all dan

 [ : A Imaginable incident occurred on on the
 Housatonic Railroad, last Saturday,. which will bear repeating. AIgentleman and his
 wife started lfrom. Bridgeport :" on the morning train for some place in Massachusetts. fl At, n-Gaylordsville, where the trains meet, iithdyia left the cars for dinner, and after finishing her meal the lady left her husband in the dinl!-' ing room, and returned to the cars. Not
 noticing that there were two trains, she took the one coming south. which started. just in advance of the othera Herhusband quit the table just in time to step on board his own train as it left the depot. and neither discovered their mistake until they
 were both well under way. The lady stop. ped here and was, in great distress at her mistake, but was advised to telegraph and the whereabouts of her husband. The operator here inquired whether there was stray husband i in Kent looking for sIi his wife, and, receiving an affirmative an swer, sent word that theIilady would wait for him here. He came down on the milk train and having found his wife theyre. turned on the same evening, and probably reached their destination safely at last. We trust that this temporary scparation ~illbe thesonly attempt at . divorce that they will ever make. soyd agd afligaas ea
