 Very S5ck.-Somebody says that pet To- comotive of the Conn. Western road,
 State Line, No. l. is being shamefully
 abused. She is now suffering from g se-
 were cold contracted by her being compelled to sleep-if not in the open air-by the side of a cold stove, and fears are enter
 tained of her freezing to death. Her faith
 full engineer has applied drafts to her, but
 to no purpose she is getting feverish and
 her cough is no better. Dr. Madden says that nothing but few doses of new stove can save her. She is perfectly resigned to whatever may be her fate, and although
 fully conscious of the serious loss (of beauty her demise would be to the world, she expresses herself as ready to go. at . moments notice, being at peace with her maker. .- 7. s...I .,..,-r -..

The idea of publishing news paper on the cooperative or patent plan, 8 creating a revolution in the newspaper business of the world, aud to-day thous- snds of the best papers in the country are employing that process and the number is apidly increasing.
