 LaEe0igte. Editor,-I see some of your correspondents have spoken of the street, or avenue leading east from the main highway near MT. Seth Waltons as
 Brook street. This is misnomer,-it was named "Walton avenue" soon after the opening of it It is suggested that the street leading east near MT. Winchell's should be named 'Porter avenue"-and the ono leading from the Savings Bank to near G. B. Burrall's land. ''Hollsy avenue, if there are not too many nooh,s and turns Sn St.
 C,tpids Success.-The Amenia Times publishes the following, which it says it obtained from distant source. and which it glves as it was received:
 Cupid succeeded in out.manmuvering an entire neighborhood the other day, gossips and all. A couple were married at Corn wall Bridge in spite of the efforts of all the people whereabouts to break up the match, the plous ones even having made the case a subject of prayer.
 % Historic. Tine history of Norfolk, which for some weeks has been published in the NEWS, but was omitted last week, will again be commenced soon, and the towns history will be continued till it is brought up to the present time. The article in last weeks NEWS, ''Lakeville as it was Sixty Years since," will be concluded in one or two more articles, which will appear in week or two.
 Succesyul.-Mr. Mallory, the LakeYille sign and carriage painter, is receiving many of the finest jobs for ornamental painting of carriages and signs the country requires. Not only the people hereabouts, but from distant parts are rapidly learning that he has no superior in that line of work outside of the largest cities, if indeed they are to be found there. This readily accounts for his success in obtaining so much of that class of work, which only brush in the hands of an adept can accomplish.
 "M c. JeweD and Wife."-Our popular merchant, Jewell, recently purchased a mileage ticket on the Conn. Western road for 500 miles, which read, "Good for M. | c. Jewell and wife," We were not before | aware that Mir. Jewell possessed such prize as wife, but what's the use anyway 1 in being so very quiet about it :? Lots" of folks around here have wives and are not l ashamed of them either. Nobody has the remotest idea that she is ashamed of her 1 jeaoe5 of a husband.
 Neao Cars.-Several passenger coaches for the Connecticut Western railroad are under way at the Wason Company's works in Springfield; three passenger and two cars, all painted a rich claret color, are being finished. The smoking cars are very handsome with long seat on the side extending the entire length of the car, and divided into single compartments. The finish is of choice hard woods, selected for their beauty ot grain, and is tastefully arranged. Other passenger and freight work IS being finished up.
 Messrs. Barnes-Weston M. and Calvin E., sons of Mir. Charles Barnes of Canaan, of lime notoriety. are about to open dry goods store in Norwalk, Conn. These gentlemen are very reliable and worthy young men, and will merit and undoubted- y will obtain success. One of them (Cal- t 7in,) has occupied a position as clerk in s. ). Beckley's store in Canaan, for something nore than year past. Another son of sr. C. Barnes, Sheridan w., has bought 'f B. P. Hunt, Esq. his house in Canaan, coated opposite the Housatonic freight iepot. and occupies it as residence.
 Vest Wsnsted.-Messrs. Wing & Gris- void of West Winsted are out this week with full column advertisement of their extensive business in that village. We earn that MT. D. w. Coe, the popular is with this house and of course would be pleased to welcome his former numerous patrons, and was never known I o offer any objection whatever to the for s nation of new acquaintances.

 E1sphalet Bue1.-This venerable gentle Il nan. whose letter appeared in the NEws ome months since, and which was read 2 with so much interest by large number of ur readers, very suddenly and unexpected y put in an appearance in this village last Feek Thursday, Being on his way from Jew York to Waterbury, he came the way of the Connecticut Vest m road, for the purpose, as he said, of C
