 - The Housatonic Railroad Company are building a new bridge at West Corn wall, where the water ran over the culvert. last summer, and did 50 much damage. They are making thorough job of it.
 - The spirit of improvement is still onward. Many of our people are paint ing and brushing up generally, in all parts of the town.

 - The question, " Do the farm improve ments of the last twenty years, pay?" is ca silly answered now.

D3~The election of Espartero. childless and seventy, King of Spain,is very sugges. tive of future complications. If the old gentleman expects quiet life he is the most sanguine old monarch in Christen- dom. Whether the ''divine right" comes with election, acceptance, amounting or at precisely what stage of the process of King manufacture has not been settled. At some stage he becomes something more than hu- man. Every Spaniard must then be ''loyal subject" and fight and die for him, or turn ''foul traitor" and die against him, for the versatility of Spanish politics allow no other choice. The Spaniard, or the Amer ican of Spanish descent, who is not shot or garroted is considered to have lived in vain. Still, even in Spain King is not the deity he used to be three centuries since. A great many kings have lived and died in Spain since that time, and every one has done his best to bring contempt on himself and upon the old superstition.
 P. S.-The telegram stating that Espar- tero has declined is probably hoax. The "virtue of resignation" played out in the summer of 1868.
