IHot Ilou6lesonns Freight tTrain.-Since writing the account of the accident last Monday on the Conn. Western road, the freight train has again, as usual, managed to get piled into heap. Last Wednesday while coming through the deep cut this side of West Winsted, two freight cars of thai famous train switched around across the track and tried to run to Mlllertor sideways. This plan didn't work, and as g result the passenger trains of the road were again on time, minus from to 50 hours.
 4 Plain Se1mon.-The Rev. Nr. John son preached one of the most needed Owe venture the expression) sermons in the Episcopal church in this village last Sab. bath evening, it ever became our lot to list en to. 1t was made up from the words of St. Paul, "Lie not one to another," and was composed of language, though plain, that every congregation throughout the land should hear. He treated lying in its every feature, from "white lies and trade lies to the regular old "whoppers," which will make ones hair stand on end to hear recited. He dwelt at length<aSp lies prac- ticed in the selling of goods and other business transactions and defined his text, ''ies." in such language that everybody who heard it must have been strongly i'm pressed with the idea, that, as Widow Be- dot says, i've are all poor critters" It would seem as though the world needed more such plain and outspoken sermonizing. We abound in sin and iniquity, and the .more constantly and forcibly we are re- minded of it, the more likely arc we to im- prove in our morals. Let the preachers throw their fear of popularity to the winds, and speak the truth and tue aehoJe of the truth, and if needs be, come in among us and overtWn the tables of the money changers, and purge the country of at least portion of it's moral filth.

 0B'the Irock agasn. freight train on the Conn. Western road, which started out of Hartford last Monday morning, en- deavored, and succeeded admirably in it's endeavors, to travel over as much of the territory of Northern Connecticut as the Clay of the land" would admit. It dodged off the track three times. and adopted vari- ous routes in it's pilgrimage westward. The last time portion of it, Zone report says three cars and another six or eight,) left the track, and, bent on regular old tear," ripped up the rails and created not a little mischief. The roads were not clear ed so that trains could pass the wrccks, till about half-past eight o'clock in the evening, which of course resulted in general mix ing up of the trains of the road. Conduc- tor Yeomsns' train, on its return trip to Hartford from Millerton, ran over to the wreck, and taking the passengers and milk from the milk train, carried them to Mil lerton, trying to make the time of the milk train, which it succeeded in doing minus about two hours. Soon after it, came the crippled freight train hobbling along, and at about half-past nine in the evening, the afternoon train out of Hartford came into Canaan. Conductor Yeomans train, after getting the milk and passengers to Millerton, cork-screwed its way over Norfolk hills to Hartford, arriving there a little before its time to start west on its nextday trip. This freight train appears to be singularly unfortunate about getting off the track all the tune. There appears to be screw loose somewhere, and it would seem for the interest of the railroad company to hunt up that individual screw and in some way manage to tighten it. Why wouldn't it be good idea to set the | new superintendent, (who by the way was initiated into his new position last Monday, the day of the above-enumerated accidents, | to hunting up this fractious screw?
