 satonic and Northern railroad extended from the junction, in Brookfield, to the village of New Milford. distance of about nine miles, and there is but one opinion in reference. to the proposed project, and that
 is decidedly in it's favor. It can be built
 easily across Still River and be brought up
 on the west side of the Housatonic River, or crossing at the Great Falls near the present highway bridge, come direct to the business portion of our town, on the east side of the river, with probably less ex- pense for bridging. The time has come when the varied interests of this section demand it. New York city should be our direct terminus, and all our efforts should | belto get a direct communication with the | great metropolis, then there will be a good | prospect for increasing in wealth aud pop ulation. Such will be the policy, hereafter, | not only here, but in localities more re- mote from our commercial center.

 As election draws near our friend of the Sentinel talks more and more like whited sepulchre. .,, Nearly every week he feels obliged to warn his readers that some arti- cle of ours he is kind enough to specify, is not funny" His countenance grows es- pecially stony at the mention of Jim Gal lagher's Savin Rock speech. Now this is downright unreasonable; for when man crates about Washington, and puts him in- to the battle of Bunker Hill, and marches a glorious corps of F. F. V's, one hundred and twenty strong. into that engagement, and kills just one hundred and seventeen of them outright, and then swears he had the story from one of the three survivors, the Democracy ought to be allowed smile, even if it was the chairman of their State Central Committee and their candidate for Mayor of New Haven.
 But the Sentinel not only explains to it's readers what Wit is mot, at our expense !; 1t shows what Wit is, at the expense of Mir. Bromley of the Hartford Post: ltt
 The editor of the Litchfeld Sentinel cries .sWho will send Bromley sponge to wipe his weeping eyes," Come yourself; we don't know a bigger one.-Hdrtford Post.
