 | ty years old, went into his lot to milk { COW, when beligerunt ram came at him bent on war, and knocked him down anC ! when down kept bunting him till Mir. Cros by began to think the animal would surel, kill him. After a while Mir. c. succeeded i'll graphing him by tn. horns, and drawins his head down close to him, used his onl, remaining weapon of defense, viz, : tobacc, juice, strong and copious decoctions O which he squirted into the rams eyes whish had tendency to cool his ardor fo battle so that he succeeded in holding hin till help arrived. After MT. Crosby was re moved to the house, one of his legs Wal found to be badly broken and his shoulder seriously injured.
 SAoded Taem.-Last Friday afternoon, when the last train down on the Housaton ic road was between Harrington and Shef field, three or four COWS were discovered ahead on the track. The train was ':slow ed" and the whistle blown, but the animals seemed determined not 10 leave the road, and were chased until they became quite used to the business. After about mile heat, they turned toward the fence at the side of the road, which was very close to the track, and getting far enough off so that the engine could just get by without hitting them, Engineer Bronson carefully crept along with his train till his engine was flush with them, when he suddenly opened the steam valve, and over that fence they went higher than kites. This swas one of the most skillfully managed tricks of the kind We ever saw. He actually sAooed them clean over the fence into the lot,
 Near Supertntehdett.-Last Saturday af- ternoon, Conductor Hinsdale had the pleas ure of announcing to the inhabitants along the line of his route from Winsted to Mil lerton, that MT. w. H. Yeomans, whom everybody hereabouts knows as conduc. tor on the mail train of the Conn. Western road, is the superintendent of the Connecti- cut Western railroad, which he did by tasti- ly trimming his locomotive with flags and flowers, and tue initials of Mr. Yeoman's name in large type displayed in front of the head light, thus, ''W. II. Y, Sup't" We think it not only very good tasts, but prop CT expression of pleasure at the good for tune of a brother conductor, to be thus pro- noted to almost the highest position on the road. We have spoken above of Mir. Yeo- mans as being the Superintendent, which he is in every sense except the name. We should more properly say he is Assistant Superintendent, with the full power of Su- perintendent, yet who is above him in man. agement, so long as there is no superintend- ent to whom he is an assistant? The con- choose to call him 0ss&st0nt supe1jfetende and after weighing the matter carefully in our mind, we have concluded to let them do SO for the present. Mir. Yeomans has spent nearly his whole life on railroad, and is regarded as thoroughly practical railroad man, understanding by experience, the duties of every position from the lowest round of the ladder. Seldom is man met with who uses as few words in the transac- ton of business, yet somehow he manages to get along with quite as much work as those whose mouths are the largest parts of of their bodies. We feel assured in saving that the people along the entire route, as well as the employees of the road, have the utmost confidence ln MT. Yeoman's ability to successfully manage the affairs of the Conn. Western railroad as it's superintend- ent.

 FaWs Vj1lage.-The new locomotive and car shops of the Housatonic Railroad Go. in Falls Village are rapidly assuming defi- nite shape, and very good idea can be obtained of what they are to be when con- pleted. The building to be used for repair ing cars is an immense structure, and will contain large amount of machinery for
