 "CSty of Hartford The new locomo- tive ''City of Hartford was driven into our town yesterday morning, for the first time by that superb reinsman "Kib," and took drink from the water tank. It is a powerful and a very fine looking engine, and quite worthy place on our new road.
 Large Pear.-The largest pear we re- member having ever seen was handed us by Mir. w. Hutchinson last Wednesday morning.

Pears of this size may be plenty around here, but it has not been our good fortune to see or hear of one before.
 Wilson tAc 1furderer.-Who killed War den Willard in the Wethersfeld prison in this state about year ago, is to be hung to day in Hartford.
