 WArERrowN The Congregational Soci. ety at Watertown are building a lecture room near their church.

But these do not ! call for remarks; first, because yon have laid before your readers the particulars al- ready, at least. us far as know them my self; and second. because do not see why the fact that one man. tormented and made mad by internal suffering and disease, and another losing alf hope in friendless and unloved senility, should seek to fly from the certain evils of tue present to the un- certain ones of the future, should be mat tera of much interest in the midst of the many examples daily exhibited to us. and exciting hardly a thought of suicides daily committed and committing by means of rum, idleness. or the fritteriug away of Iife. i. .t..r..5,@ ..'.z
 MILK TRAIN.-The New York and New Haven railroad have put on U special milk train, running in connection with the milk trains on the Housatonic and Naugatuck roads. It leaves Bridgeport at 9 p. m., a few minutes after the express, and. return ing, reaches Bridgeport at g a. m., with the empty cans, thus ensuring their sure and speedy return. Another advantage is. that if for any reason the milk trains on this or the Naugatuck train should be de- layed, ,and not make connection at Bridge. port with the express, the milk train on that road will wait their arrival of course, so that the milk will not be lost in conse. quence of the delay. This is great ad- vantage, and ensures the continued sue. cess of the project. The milk business in the Housatonic valley is yet ill it's infancy (which simle. by the way, is hardly appli- cable, since, that is period rather favora- ble to such an ' enterprise but it is des- tined to become one of the most impor- tant sources of profit to the farmers along this valley. y.-Berkshire Courier. s.s4
