 Correspondence are favored with quite an extensive range of correspondence this week, extending in fact from the Bark hampsted Lighthouse to Florida. It is all good and will be read with interest.

 NeS Rolling Stoek.-The New York, Boston and Montreal railway have just ordered fifty new passenger cars and five hundred new freight cars. They have also ordered fifteen new locomotives. This looks as though ibis company means busi- ness, and people are beginning to learn that they really do.
 Bought c Lot.-Wm. Parsons, having sold his lot in the rear of the Grove School House in this village, to the district for school building purposes, has bought the lot north of the school house, and will soon move his buildings on to it. Hadn't the committee better negotiate for that lot too: We presume Mir. Parsons would sell it is he was paid enough foris.
 New Goods.-Messrs. Wing & Griswold, of West Winsted, are out with half col umn advertisement in THE NEWS this week which will interest the ladies of this region, as it tells all about those elegant dress goods.

 More Neas Goods.-Nr. W. G. Gardner, of Falls Village, who does fully his share toward clothing the people of the country, has now got in his spring and summer goods, and has some of the finest fabrics imported, fact his many customers are glad to learn. Mr. G. employs none but the best of workmen, and as . consequence his custom makes him the busiest man in the county.
 Colum6ia Springs Letter.-Two weeks ago we asked our quandom friend Warner, who has sought relief for his distressing ''ruma,ix," at the celebrated Columb;a Springs in New York state, to tell us of those waters, from the use of which he is being cured, and he has kindly furnished us the desired information. which we pub lish in another column, and as bis letter is written in his peculiarly quaint and original style, 1t cannot fail to interest our readers These springs are said to be the only white sulphur springs in the state, and resemble greatly the famous white sulphur springs of Virginia.
 Those Bids.-Mr. G. H. Bundy, of Lake vile, says we told only part of the story when we stated that he bid g., 900 less than anybody else on the Falls Village court house in our item concerning the matter last week, and thinks that if we will give the bids as they were received by the contracting parties it would put different appearance to his acceptance of the job. Below are the bids:
 Daniels & Raynsford. .............$lO.2 26O % J. l.. Levi. S.425 % Frank Agner, of Danbury, Ct.... 7,S5O OO G. Fl. Bundy. dy.......................... 7,725 OO
 MoUed to BGr,7ngton.-Mr.T B. Strong, who for thirty years has been merchant and depot agent in Ashley Falls, has sold house, store and everything and gone to Burlington to live. Mr. Strong moved into the village of Ashley Falls, March 3Oth, ls4s, and engaged in the mercantile husi- ness, which he followed successfully till within very short time and now to leave the old homestead and store and take up his residence among strangers, we should think would not add to the enjoyment of himself and faithful companion, but he seems to think they will try it while at all events. MT. Jerry New, formerly a con ductor of freight train on the Housatonic road, succeeds MT. Strong as depot agent.
 Pwsona1. friend Buel, of Water. bury, whose strength to go the long jour- neY West which he undertook last season we questioned on account of h;s advanced age, called on us again last Tuesday, and now says, if we'll let him he shall start for Omaha sometime during the present month. As his years extend back some ways be- yond the time the ancient but honorable Congregational church in thls village was built Che says he remembers the event of building that church very welD we thought It involved rather too much risk for one Of his age to travel alone In the West, even if he went no farther than Ohio, but he got along so admirably, and is only eighty six years old this year, we have concluded tn let him go to Omaha this time.
 The Banner Temperatures Town. n.-Mr. Editor: A writer in last weeks NEws, speaking of the several branches of indus try in the thrifty village of Lime Rock, winds up by saying that he had almost for gotten one important fact. yiz., that "Lime Rock was getting to be the most temperate village on this continent" 'Tis Ewell, but VIC have g little village here in TompkiDs Go. called Danby, that makes some preten- tions to temperance. Not only in our viii lage but in all our town there is not drop of intoxicating liquor sold, hence we claim to be the Banner Temperance Town. Make your whole town temperance town. and then, Mr. Writer, you may say As tempe rate town (not villagr) as there is on the continent. W. E. Q.
