 railroad is now open from Wolcottville to Bridgeport, and passenger trains com fmence running this fFriday) morning This simple encouragement speaks volumes Tor the energy and ability of, Superinten. dent Beach, On Tuesday morning. he
 was walked with the information that the road had been torn to pieces in a dozen different places, and the various trains were locked in at different stations, unable to proceed in either direction, Those &C., quainted with the facts, said week must
 pass before communication. could be re, opened. On Wednesday, night, however. the road was repaired from Plymouth to Bridgeport. and on Thursday night, to WolcottviIle, and we should not be surpri- sed to learn that the trains are running to Wlnsted before the close of another week. Such rapidity is simply wonderful and ri vals the speed with which Sherman used to
 take railroads to pieces. MT. Beach has
 earned the thanks of the travelling public and of the railroad company. He is the right man in the right. and were he work ing for Uncle Sam, would undoubtedly re-
 ceive handsome brevet. s~~cI aoftss q
