l FLU, HUH hSuICy E dllS SdyS ludI NllldHG is on bust: not the agent, deacon, doctor
 or square, but a 40 gallon cask of molas-
 ses on general tear, sweetening up the de-
 pot and contents in fine style Bad luck
 for the owner, (Mr. Leroy,) who saved only
 about enough for one mess of pumpkin pies.
 The cause of this slight disturbance was
 warm weather and more molasses than
 cask.
 | Those Train Connections While in Ua-L naan few mornings since .- -,--...., | the scientific d:e - "o oooei Veu --1--4e -ES;-. connection of the morning l 's'-, ...s on the Conn. Western and Housa-
 tonic roads at that station. As we stood
 at the junction of the two roads and saw the Conn. Western train drive up to the spot where it is necessary for them to stop
 before approaching the Housatonic track,
 and as the train had come to full stop, at
 about a hundred feet from the depot and
 was in the act of starting, to daye ai' tothe
 depot, we had the satisfaction of seeing the
 Housaronic train, start moderately, yet rap
 idly enough to give only an agravating view
 of It as it was leaving the station, to a pas
 senger who might want to go north, but
 who could not go till the next train, about
 eight hours after. As the trains came so
 near making connection, but did not, the
 crowd in and about tue depot, joined in
 one grand chorus of censure at the utter
 ahsurdity of such management as that Let
 us look at the matter for few moments,
 and see if a remedy conld be found, in case
 eve, thc people were running those roads
 for our accommodation. We have learned
 that the Boston and Albany road, with
 which the Housatonic road makes it
 point to connect, with this morning train,
 passes Pittsfield at such an hour, that to
 start later than o'clock from Canaan, with
 the early train and make a connection with
 that Pittsfield train, would oblige rate of
 speed not regarded as safe, and as a con-
 sequence remedy is not easily found there,
 and all that remains for us is to see if we
 can tinker up the running time of the early
 train on the Conn. Western road The
 timetable of that road says that train starts
 out of Millerton in the morning at D. 20 and
 its tune at Canaan is 6.l0, which shows
 that it occupies just ftty minu:es in running
 from Millerton to Canaan. On it's return
 trip ill the evening, it's time at Canaan is : 6.55 and its arrival at Millerton 7.3S, occu-
 pying oaly torty-t7trec minutes. As much the steepest and longest grade is to be over- come in passing over the mountain west of Canaan, on the westward trip of train, and as only 43 minutes are occupied in , going over the road from Canaan to Miller ton in the evening, there being no trains to pass or other Instructions either way at the time of the running of those trains, if
 we, the people "(who, by the way, are the chaps that build these roads, were run . ming them, we should make the morning , train start from Milerton at the time it now starts, and run over to Canaan in 43 min
 utes, the same time the evening train con-
 sumes iu the same trip, and arrive in Ca ' naan at 6. 03, which, deductipg the differ ence in the running time of the two roads, II (six minutes,) would get it there three min utes before the other train on the Housa- : tonic road leaves, giving ample time for the :, change from one train to another, yet if . three minutes were not quite enough time U to exchange baggage, &c., the Housatonic r road would undoubtedly wait minute oI o two longer if it should be necessary, and '' thus all be accommodated. Such hair ', breadth dis-connections cannot work fol u the interests of railway company, and we z think the Conn. Western Go. will make U this slight change in their table, as soon as y they consistently can do so V Ne,o York Desperate. That the citizens l. of Gotham have been thoroughly picklet rs with Jubilee jealousy of their sister city e Boston, is patent in the minds of all wht o are posted, and now that Gilmores nam IS moth undertaking Is a success beyond 1t question they are getting desperate.
