road company put milk train on their road last Monday. This train on its first trip Monday, carried into Millerton 67 cans of milk, quantity much greater than
 was anticipated at the start. It leaves Winsted going west at 800 P. M., passing 1 Norfolk at 3. 50; Canaan, 4.25; Salisbury, 4. 50 and arrives in Millerton at $40 P. M. making close connection with an express on the Harlem road for New York, arriving in that city at 900 P. M. Passengers north of Canaan on the Housatonic road, can leave their homes on the afternoon milk trains and making close connection with the Conn. Western at Canaan, and with the Harlem in Millerton, arrive in New York as stated above at 800 in the evening. This same milk train leaves Millerton on it's return trip going west on the arrival of the express from New York,
 which leaves that city every afternoon at 3.45 P. NJ. and passing Salisbury at s.30, and Canaan at S.55, connecting with the train on the Housatonic road going north in the evening, and passes Norfolk at 9.s4, arriving in Ninsted at l0.lO. In the time table of the Corn. Western road which took effect last Monday and marks the time of this new milk train; changes in the running of two other trains of the road arc made. The passenger train which left Millerton at about o'clock P. M., going east. previous to this new arrangement, is discontinued and instead, passenger train starts from that place at l0.40 A. M., pas sing Salisbury at ll,30; Canaan, l2. 10; Norfolk, l2.50 and arrives at Winsted at LAO P. M. The freight trains which run alternate days. going west Mondays, We'd nesdays and Fridays, east Tuesdays. Thurs days and Saturdays, leave Hartford going west at GOO A. M., passing Winsted at $40; Canaan l2, 10; Salisbury 100. arriv- ing in Milerton at 200 P. M. Going east this train leaves Millerton at 6.lo A. M., passing Salisbury at 6.55; Canaan TAO, Norfolk, s37; Winsted l030 arriving in Hartford ut 200 P. NJ. By this new ar
 engagement we now have jour passenger trains eacA scay duly; which is more than any other road in this region can boast of, and the fun ot it all is they aH pay. The | freights on this road are increasing rapidly as it evidenced by the increasing length of the trains over the road, and Its prospects are brightening every day for its becoming one of the best paying roads in the country, which it certainly will be, if it's manage ment does not sink it by adopting the peculiar economical" plan of some roads. This "economy" as practiced by some is to hire such help as can be obtained for the least money indicating disposition to get of it's patrons all it possibly can for the least accommodation, and cheapest possible service, &c., &c.. We hope and expect that this will not be adopted on this road. Their time table in another column is changed to correspond with the new order of things, ,aF a=i o} ' e1t }aI& fiuar7s
 G0ugAs Lecture.-The lecture of John B. Goughin the End Congregational church in Winsted last Friday evening, was one of the richest intellectual treats the people of North Western Connecticut have ever received. The regular afternoon train going east was more than full, the passen. ger car seats, aisles and every accessible ' part was running over full. There ap- pears to have been a screw loose some where, as we were informed that Conductor Yeoman's. knew nothing of the arrange lment for an excursion on his train, and was entirely unprepared for the emergency, however he managed to carry the three car loads of passengers in his passenger and baggage cars, quite as comfortably as could be expected. A large delegation from Salisbury and Lakeville were among the number, who conducted themselves in a manner very creditable to themselves as they usually do. On their arrival in West Winsted the company repaired to the Beardsley House, where they were lunched and cared for in manner which left a good impression upon all, of the Bear S. ley House and its gentlemanly and accom- modating proprietor. Aftcrtea aLd before 1the lecture commenced, those two frolicsolne juveniles, Dan Pratt' and Bob Balr were not long in finding their way to Friend Churchill's store near by, where the huge heaps of candy and oran- Iges were too much of 8 temptation for them. Running their hands in their pock- cts 10 their elbows, they relieved those re- ceptaces for cash of every copper and went in for an investment, with tho deter mined ejaculation, "Darn the expense. - Previous to the appearance of Cough on the rostrum, Professor Stillman of Lake vile, manipulated the organ in his usual clever manner. evidently to the satisfaction and delight of the Winstedites At pre- cisely ten minutes to eight o'clock, MT. Cough ascended tue steps of the stand, and quickly removing his overcoat and overshoes, was introduced by the chairman and proceeded immediately to business. This is the beauty of public Fspeaking, as we'll as everything else; first know what one is going to do, pull off your coat and pitch in, and when done, stop. To give even synopsis of this remarkable mans lecture would require too much space for our columns. Everybody already
 knows him to be the acme of his profes- tsion, and words flowing from our pen, attempting a description of it would be, in comparison to the lecture itself, the veriest trash. It is sufficient to say that although he occupied one and three fourths hours in his lecture; so intensely interest ling was it, carrying his large audience of 500 with him in its every feature, that when through it was generally remarked that it had seemed as though only about l-2 or 3.4ths of an hour had been consumed
 Truly enough, "There is but one Cough in the world. no the return trip, the train ran very slowly on account of the liability
