IHe Cemetery. cemetery in this village is now very nearly completed, or at least nearly all that will be done on the grounds this season. A new feuce how ever is being built around it. and will be very neat and suitable for the place. The grounds are beautifully laid out in walks and drive-ways, and especial attention was given to the theory that more beauty is ob- taiued by curved lines than by straight, in the marking out of these roads and alleys. Every lot is properly staked, and it all now presents very orderly, and beautifully arranged cemetery, and one, of which the people of Salisbury will never be ashamed. Most fortunate was the town, in securing the services of a man to oversee and man age the work, who is so thorough. tasty and every way SO capable of managing the undertaking as is Dea. M. l.. Graham. Al the front of the cemetery, he has arranged for four large gateways for carriages and three small ones for pedestrians. Toward the center of the field is small space of ground that is quite low and usually wet, rather too much SO for burial purposes, and somebody has proposed that an organi- zation of the ladies of the town be formed, whose business it would be to take charge of that plat of ground, and make of it a flower garden. This suggestion seems in deed quite feasible and worthy of consid' eration, and at the proper time next sea- son. we hope it will receive suitable atten- ton.
 First Passenger 1Tatn On the Conn.
 Western.-The s'City of Hartford, with scientific ''Kib', at the wheel" came into our village last Tuesday with one of the new passenger coaches, of the Conn.

It seems that everything is o. K., as they passed this village on the ''home stretch, seemingly i'll as good condition as when they started from Canaan. These cars appear from the outside to be very nice, and we understand that the interior of them is first class. Thanks to somebody for the invitation to make one of the party to this trip, but ''blarst the critters" how could anybody know when they would put in an appearance, and who wouldn't just as likely be at dinner as anywhere else. Conductor Cogswell is the man to say he was the first to run a passenger train over the Conn. Western railroad. But here comes communication from one of the Commissioners of inspection" who ac- companied the train. near his report.
 MR. EDIToR.-The Lakeville commls sioners (ot which am whom) upon a special train drawn by the ''City of Hart ford'' gave the road a thorough inspection from Lakeville to Millerton on Tuesday last. An invitation which was passed in some way between us and President Bar nun, resulted in his accompanying us on the trip. We pronounce that portion ot the road which we inspected to be first class in every particular, and have no hesi- talion in commenting it to the patronage of the public, who may have occasion to travel from Millerton through to Lakeville. Al Milerton we looked anxiously for that coal train, but we were eeourteously informed that the coal which was to have arrovc had not arriven. Mot.
