Prosperous business on the Housa- tonic railroad has increased so rapidly of late, that another new locomotive is re uuired, and was last week ordered from Paterson, N. J. It is to be of the came class as the heaviest machines so recently added to the rolling stock of the road. We understand there is yet one more director of that road, who has not been honored by his name being given to one of the loco motives, and of course it is quite proper this new machine should bear it, but when the next two new locomotives are ordered, it is hoped :hey will be named after the popular and successful superintendent and master mechanic, Messrs. H. w. Franklin and Chauncey R. Morris, and let them be machines that will worthily bear those names. This is suggestion the myriads of friends of these gentlemen along the line of that road desire to see realized, and it is hoped no false modesty will prevent it being done.

Church Re-opening.-Long before th hour appointed for the commencement O tue ceremonies of re-opening St Andrew church in this village last Saturday, tn church began to fill with people, and thu gentlemanly ushers. Messrs. Wm. s. Ed wards and J. F. Gibbs were kept busy finding seats for all, which was done will very little or no confusion. The train iron the south on the Housatonic road brough something like hundred. and with thu large delegations from Sharon, Lime Rocl and Canaan, the house was filled to over l flowing. I was pleased to see among tn number, Mrs. Wm. H. Barnum, Mir. Crow ell and family and Mir. Hurlburt of Linn Rock John Cotton Smith and others O Sharon, &c., &c. The exercises were sue cessfuily conducted by Bishop Williams assisted by ten clergymen. All passed of very pleasantly and satisfactorily.
 It was matter of regret to be sure tha the large organ was not here and in position in time for this occasion, but after all, witt Miss Josie Smiths fine toned cabinet org an played so skillfully by MT. Platt of Nev Preston, we were almost made to forget w were going to have new organ. and au free to acknowledge that as far as musi was concerned, we were very well proyide' | for indeed. Our new church was yer much admired by all, as well as the libera ity,and genuine Christian generosity of Mrs Wheeler, who has done so much to mak it what it IS, and what we can all enjoy. Tn out of town people were amply provide
