 Ins Young Old .Nan Again. Pease: 1 noticed that little item of news in your paper about Capt. Weed changing his colors. used to know him as one of the most reliable and trustworthy men in Sharon; a man who could always be de pended upon and who always stuck to his colors. His political garments were always the same. and never knew him to change the style of color of his coat. This freak of his cannot understand. If he IS wid- over in search of a wife don't blame him for wanting to be young, and for changing | to aRy color to warrant success in the un- dertakng, but I should be sorry for his wife if she knew of his changes, us she would be in constant dread, fearing that she might wake up some morning and find a nigger-not Ion woodpile"-but Sn Me be the result of this neular transformation process, time only can determine.

 Lime Rock.-The Barnum Rich ardsor
 car works in Lime Rock are casting on ar
 average eighty ca1-wheels a day. That part of the works known as the old shops have recently been remodsled and new , cranes have been added, increasing tits ca- pscity for work somewhat, and prepara . tions are now being made to increase the 7 capacity of the works to an amount oi , work nearly double what is now being done there. How about such x vast mum l Der of car-wheels as are being cast about the country, and all being, as is claimed f made from Salisbury iron. While in con versation with MT. James Barnum last Sat
