DOuy. A O1VlZEN.
 Soon De Gone.-The feather led men say they have engaged the room they now occupy for only two weeks longer, and those who want beds cleaned had better attend to it, or presto, they will be non est.
 House Burnsd.-One of the tenement houses purchased by the Conn. Western R. R. Co. when they bought the right of way through Tariffville, was fired by an incen- diary early Tuesday morning and destroyed. Hanging is somewhat too mild for such villains.
 FVzed FuR.-Nr. Jones of Lakeville is wide awake for the fall trade, having his store literally crammed with goods, so full in fact that his customers are almost obliged to climb over them to get into the store. He tells us he is having heavy trade, and well he might have, for it seems as though he has everything people could wish for. Apropos to his extensive line of dress goods, he has ordered 8 new dress for his advertisement, which his many friends will read with interest.
 Dutchess land COluna6iG R. R.-A new time table on the Duchess 6 Columbia railroad went into effect Monday, October 14th The morning train out of Aillertsn leaves that village at 6.30. A mixed train goes at 9.l5 a. m., and the afternoon milk train leaves at s.2O. The first train from Duchess Junction arrives in Milierton at l. 30 p. m., and another passenger at 8 A. The Duchess & Columbia road furnishes the cheapest and quickest transit .o the Hudson river, and is the principal coal route for this region, ss well as the middle and eastern part of the State.
 Ashley FdUs.-The new schoolhouse.in Ashley Falls is very nearly finished and ready for the scholars desks. It is large two story house, with rooms of equal size, and finished up stairs and below; walls hard finish, and at convenient distances apart on the walls of each room four large blackboards. Every part of the building is we'll built and conveniently arranged. It is painted white outside, with green blinds, and is surmounted with cupols. which we understand is to be the residence of a suitable bell. The cost of the building will be not far from $2, 1000, and will make for the little folks home during school hours, in place of a barn, which is all many places car boast of
 Conn. Westsrn Ratlroad.-The Conn, Western railroad company have erected al the Twin Lakes station, 8 much larger anG finer depot than was generally supposed would be put there. The company art constantly at work at their depots along the route, and are getting all in condition to satisfy the most exacting. Long plat forms have recently been built on eithel end of the depot in this village, also at tht ends of that in Lakeville. The depot il Chapinville is being driven ahead, and tn. elegant Union depot at Canaan is nearing completion. The depot at Canaan is ont of the finest in the country, possessing every convenience the two roads will re quire.
 Mt. RSga.-Mt. Riga station on the liar lem railroad, is rather tending upwards ir the world. The whole country seems tt be full of iron ore, two mines of which ar' open and being extensively worked, th' ore being loaded on cars at the mines which of themselves run down the brancl road to the main track. Mr. Geo. Dakin the merchant, farmer and general oWne and manager of all things around there seems wide awake and equal to the worl before him. His store is large and wei filled, and is located near the stopping place of the trains, and as the new railroad also passes his door, this point is sort O. nucleus, around which will De gathered thu new corners, and which undoubtedly vii undoubtedly be something of village be fore many years All hail, Mt. Riga!
 Political Xesting.-Conductor Hinsdal' allowed us to listen for twenty minutes t the Hon. Edward o Perrin, at Conlinl Hall in Millerton, last Wednesday evening at Greeley & Brown meeting there. H. was introduced by Orrin Wakeman, Esq of Millerton and succeeded, as he usually does, in commanding the attention of hi audience and holding them closely to hi work. His many anecdotes and cute hit. never failed to bring down the house, and an hour spent in hearing such an abls speaker, no matter what ones politica sentiments are, is always pleasantly an' sometimes profitably spent The hall wa we'll filled, although not to overflowing and with the music by the Sharon Corne Band, which always plays well, all seemed to enjoy very pleasant evuning's enter tainment, or at least so 1t appeared whil we were permitted to be there.
 Reportorial Air CWshion.-One of ou Western brethren has invented a paten back action reportorial air cushion, design ed for the use of interviewing reporters life insurance agents, and sich. When ever the happy owner of this inyaluabl article is exposed to the wrathful kick o his tormented victim. he receives it on thu cushion aforesaid, gracefully describes parabola and alights on his feet. prepares for another charge. We opine that thu distinguished designer of the fort re@ntl demolished in this village is armed an
 equipped with one of these ingenious COZ trivances, for on a late occasion whel
 launching from train just leaving Lake
 vile, and failing to make the platform, b
 could never have bounded to the height h. did had he not been assisted by something
 more than mere flesh and blood. His sm
 6onpoiaat in this instance was decidedl,
 useful besides being highly ornamental. 7he Too Sc1to0ls.-Tae recent divisiol
 of the scholars in the two schools in thi
 village is an absolute failure. All thos
