 Large Eggs.-Mr. w. Bunnell of Lake vile showed us Monday, three about as large hens eggs as the country produces. The largest measured 3-s inches circum- ference the longest way and s-4 inches the other. The next was l-2 inches long, est way and 6 inches around smallest way. Who beats this?
 S0ng and Speech. h.-Remember the en- tertainment at Academy Hall in this viii lage. this (Thursday) evening under the auspices of the Conn. Temperance Union. The ''speech and song'' promised on this occasion ought to be sufficient to draw a full house, which they undoubtedly will do. The Rev. l.. Burleigh, who will be one of the speakers, is an old war horse at the business, and will interest his hearers, as also we feel assured will Mir. 8. B. Spin ming, the distinguished vocalist.
 4 Journal Adjourned.-The Millerton Journal suspended publication some two or three weeks since, and is, we suppose, virtually dead. It was hardly year dd ]; and owes such brief and dubious existence as it enjoyed to FishkDl man, who first bought 'patent ..outside,' and then hired the ''inside" printed at the office of Fish kill weekly. We mention this history, with no intention of disrespect, but merely to show that neither the enterprise nor the failure belongs properly to Millerton.- AnaeniG Tunes.

 MIR. J. L.. PEAsE.-Dear Sir; We beg leave to return our thanks to the good peo- pie of Canaan, and other friends, for the pleasure of the company and the numerous testimonials of their kind regards. .on Tues day evening of this week. May the Giver of all good abundantly repay them.
 Yours,
 Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Lane. Canaan, Conn.,, June 4th, 1873.
 No better evidence of the popularity of the Rev. J. H. Lane, among the good peo. pie of Canaan is necessary, than was given 
 last Tuesday evening. The large party filled the parsonage absolutely full-of them selves-and the good things they brought, and there seemed 10 be not one present who would do his part on the half way plan, if he had never so good chance.
 Killed Gt G Crossing. Rossman of Canaan, while on his way from Hudson last week Thursday and while crossing the Harlem railroad at Bains Corners, was struck by an approaching train and was in. stantly killed. Mir. Rossman had been tc Hudson after load of fish, and being una ble to get them was returning, after leaving his order to be shipped to him as soon as obtained. When approaching the fata crossing, he seemed not to hear the train although lad who was near said tht whistle was blown and the bell rung The instant he arrived on the railroad he re allzed his situation as was evident by hi suddenly starting up in his seat, when h. was struck by the locomotive going at ful speed, and was sent hurling into the ai killing him instantly. His funeral wa quite largely attended in Canaan, at thu residence of relative, and his remain were carried to the cemetery in Ashle! Falls, to be placed by the side of friend there. This crossing is said to have cause, the death of five other men, and after fiji teen or twenty more have been killed il this death trap, something will probably b done to stay the fearful slaughter.
 | 7Ae Neao Time 1a6le.-A new time tabl went into effect last Monday morning o the Conn. Western railroad, which ur doubtedly will be satisfactory to everybody l as the trains are making as many connec , tions with those of the Housatonic, Naugs . tuck and New Haven and Northampto
 roads as probably can possibly be, consis
 ent with proper attention to the throug
 connections at the terminl of the road. . careful examination of the connections g T they now exist, and comparison wit what they were before results as follows , Out of eighteen opportunities daily fe ]. connections with trains on the ''inlan e roads," (the three mentioned above, ) on tt e old table only one close connection Wi
 made. On the new table there are no
 nine of the eighteen, which are close col k nections, and are such as can but ]. perfectly satisfactory to everybody. Tho n who have given the matter attention, e st certain the idea that in all probability be # ter table for this road, with its numero1 d other roads to consult, cannot be arrange g as the change which has brought about u d additional connections of SO much value
 everybody, seems not to have effected
 disarrangement of anything that was d.
