 Root. 3. Mitchell. are sorry to learn that MT. Robt. B. Mitchell, formerly of this town, who was very successfully engaged in business in Chicago, was burned out at the late fire, his loss being about $40, ,0OO. He was insured for $22, ,OO0, in home companies, and on account of their weakness, will probably realize not more than about lOper cent of that amount, and there is rather an unpleasant prospect that he may get nothing.

 First Trip To Mil5erton. The hands on Conductor Cogswells train, working east of Canaan, are not disposed to accede to those Salisbury fellows" aB the honor of making the first trip into Millerton on the 0. W. R. R. They say that their engine, the City of Hartford" was the first to make the trip from C0naan into Millerton, and brought back with them load of lum- Der for the Norfolk depots.

 Dr. Lee.-Of Peekskill has sent us in pamphlet form, an article written by him and published in August last in the AnaerS- cGaa Practitioner, relating to the late Dr. John Conolly's theory of the non restraint system of treatment in our insane asylums. Dr. Lee fully concurs with Dr. Conolly in his views favoring this system. His ar- ticle is ably written, and his arguments are clear, comprehensive and to the point. He also enclosed his Remarks on wines and alcohol,'' which were reprinted from the Journal of Msteria Medlca for September and October, 1871. In this he commences at the 6egsnt"9 of his subject by his re- marks on the ''Vine Family, giving his views as to the best grapes for wine pnr- poses, and the best course to pursue. to insure success in raising them. From this he continues with very interesting and instructive account of wines and their deliberations, also their physlologicaka and therapeutical effects. The Doctor has: our thanks for these pamphlets. x.
 Coal.-Salisbury is frozen! absolutely frozen!! Everybody has waited for coalsto be brought over tue Conn. Western rail- road, till they have burned almost every- thing in the Village, which would kindle into blaze. The company declared itself ready week ago to bring coal, and inn mediately orders were given to have the coal for the place shipped to Millerton, so that it could be brought over. Now the trouble is, ''no cars to be had on the Dutch ess and Columbia railroad" Cause why ? The Duches and Columbia and Conn. Wes. tern are indulging iu a first class snarl at each other.
