Connecticut western news., 1872-07-26


 on correspondent send in his report of Mrs Rowe's concert? It would have looked well in the NEWS.
 4 Reply Wanted-Among other ques- tions asked by Mr. R. M. Rexford of West Cornwall in note to us is this,-" Where is that Donald J. Warner Is he on the town or not?" MT. Rexfo1d is always abusing somebody.
 AgrScultural Report-T. $. Gold of West Cornwall, has our thanks for a copy of the Report of the Connecticut Board of Agriculture. Copies of this work can be obtained, free, of MT. Gold, the Secretary of the board.
 Left OUer-Most excellent correspond ence was this week received from Falls Village, Ore Hill, Amesville. and Millerton, but did not get to us till our paper was too nearly made up to admit it for this week. If it keeps good (and we think it will,) we shall use it next week.
 II: & s. Ore Bed.-The Hartford and Salisbury ore bed, under the management of MT. George c. Dodge, who is the com pany's general agent, is shipping from ten to twenty tons of ore per day, which for that bed is regarded as doing remarkably well. Dodge can do it if anybody can. Careless.-N ho left the door of the en- zine house at Canaan Junction open last Sunday afternoon, so that when tue Milk train came past, it raked the side of the passenger car so severely A man at ou1 elbow, who was passenger on that train, thinks it was rather careless, and seemed sincere in this belief Strange!
 Sheb5e1d Railroad There appears to be unusual activity Tn regard to the building of railroad from Sheffield to connect with the Conn. Western at Chapinville, and the plans are said to be sufficiently advanced to warrant the belief that the road will be speedily built. We are informed that it will be one of the most easily built roads in the country, as the grades will be very slight, and the bridging not extensive.
 Negau1see Celebrates. The Mining Jour- asa1, published at Marquette, Michigan, in it's account of the Fourth of July celebra- tion at Negaunee, speaks thus concerning our friend, J. Q. Adams, Esq.
 "The oration was made by John O. Adams. Esq, and was, indeed, a noble eff fort. We would venture the assertion that few towns of the population of Negaunee, can boast of so good an oration originated and delivered by home talent"
 NortoS& YSsitors-At Norfolk, last Sab bath, nearly half the congregation in atten- dance at the Rev. Dr. Eldridge's church Congregational seemed to be made up of Hartford people. This city is pretty well represented out tbere among the hills Many who do not find quarters at the Nor folk House, go into private families; but the hotel Gan excellent one) is building an addition, and it now has room for "a few more. ."-Hartford 7ames.
 Dolly Vardens.-We rceieved long and able article the other day from an anonY- nous correspondent, entitled ''Dolly Var dens." At least we suppose it was an able article, yet we did not read it, simply be- cause the writer was ashamed, Cor for some other reason,) to have us know who he is. From anonymous correspond nts, we arc always glad to get articles and the longer they are the better they suit us. A paper buyer the other day paid us three cents a pound for small stack of paper we sold him.
 Our Nep Tegegraph.-What a great cor venience to us our new telegraph is. The poles, which have been laying by the side of the track now nearly year, are almost buried beneath the mud which has been washed down on them from the embank- ments. A submerged telegraph is very good in it's place, but as the people of Western Connecticut are generally open and frank in their business transactions, il was hardly thought necessary to construct underground railroads or telegraphs fol their accommodation. Wouldn't it be { good idea to give those poles lift?

Western Railroad in Hartford las Monday, 10, 565 votes were cast in favor ot increasing the capital stock of the roal $2OO, 900, and 1O52 votes were against it The towns of Pennington and New Britain will take all this new stock, which wa made for the purpose of building the New Britain branch.
