 TAe NjNes HeusS.-The elegant new ho-
 tel in Lakevllle, the Miller House, will be
 fully completed by next week and opened
 to the public. It is rumored that house
 warming. in keeping with the magnitude
 of the establishment is contemplated by the
 inhabitants of that village. who propose to
 take the management of the affair into
 their own hands, and run the concern one
 night independent of the proprietors, the
 Messrs. Miller Brothers.
 This hotel will supply long felt want in Lakevllle; not that tue present hotel is not
 good one, because everybody knows it is,
 but is not large enough for the business for
 which the new one is erected For Q sum-
 mer home for the people of the cities, we
 think the new Miller House cannot easily
 be surpassed. The spacious halls of 'en-
 trance on each of the three floors, the large
 and elegant parlors, dining room and sleep
 ing rooms; all finished and furnished in the
 highest style, anticipate patronage that
 will make it one of the paying institutions
 of the land. The unusual size of the nu.
 merous sleeping rooms, and tho unsurpass- ed views from them; let them be located in whatever part of the house, attract the
 attention of the visitor ut once and in front of the house in particular, is the pros pect a charming one, and to more fully ap- preciste it. each floor, (except the highest,) admits of an entrance to wide piazza in front, where promanade in s hot sum mer afternoon, taking the breeze from the lake and drinking in one of the lovliest views of blended lake, hillside aud noun tain, that this favored region produces, is a luxury that will be eagerly sought after by those who are cooped up in the walls of our over-crowded and over-hsated cities. There is room for more such hotels in this section.

 HousGtoate Locona0tsve Works.-The ex- tensive works of the Housatonic railroad company in Falls Village, for building aud repairing locomotives and cars, are slowly approaching completion. It is said the will move into the works and operations sometime during March. Some months since we visited and wrote up something of an account of thelr doings, but the other day when there we found 30 much more had been done than was visibly apparent at the time of our other visit, few words more concerning tue conveniences being introduced may not be out of place. The threes large struc- lures, viz. |: the locomotive repair shop, the | car shop and Round house for Locomotives, have & great number of gas jets. jutting 1 put from the walls in the various depart 1 ments, for the conveniences of the work l 'uen. which are supplied with gas frorn the | gas house onsthe hill beyond, the company manufacturing all the gas to be used in the 1 works. Near the locomotive shop, in a | small building which covers an immense filter, into which by hoisting gate water will pour from the Housstonic river, which in passing down through the charcoal, sand, etc., will become purified, after which huge pump carried by water wheel near it. will throw it into a reservoir on the hill, from which, pipes are laid te run immediately over the tenders to the To- as they stand in the Round house, and from which, with the head eb. aimed by the height of the reservoir, they :an quickly be allsd with pure water. In he car shop is powerful pump, connect 'd with which are pipes or hose leading to every part of the buildings. and in case of ire this pump can be instantly adjusted, md made to throw water over or through he works. Thus it is; these works, which will add 30 much to the importance 'f this region, are nearly completed, and it s very generally remarked by those who 'isit them, that they are indeed very well md substantially built, possessing all She 90 essential to the most ad-- 'antsgeous employment of the workmea.
