 Anothsr SIide-A mud slide occurred in the cut beyond the Whiting river fill last week, which prevented the passage of trains on the Conn. Western road several days.

 Conn. Western Railroad.-To the Editor of the NEWS: The article in the last issue of your paper entitled Railroad Time Tables" wherein the scientific disconnec lions made by the trains on the Conn Western railroad were alluded 10, is cue tha meets the hearty approval of the people ot ibis community, and this, with several oth ar statements of similar nature that hay. appeared during the past year. leads us t' believe that an expression of indignation which for long time has been pent up il the minds of the inhabitants of this sectio' will be allowed throu gh the columns of I'll NEWS. It is generally conceded that it i useless to throw mud and dirt at any cor poration, (most especially so when sait corporation's main track is under mud an' mire from four to six feet nearly whole week at d time,) but acting on that old ant oft repeated mexim, to blow your horr if you don't sell clam," we relieve our selves thusly. The public have no mean of knowing that the disjointed connections above mentioned are derogatOry to the iE terests of this company, and is intended, a many claim, to reduce the value of thu stock for the future aggrandzement of { few of the present stockholders but thi much is certain; that nearly every ma1 along the line of this railroad in the tow1 of Salisbury, and we think North Canaan has been thoroughly disgusted with thu management of the affairs pertaining to tn, company, and have been led to think tha their rights and interests were sacrificed t. gratify feeling of prejudice and ill will apparently entertained towards them by person who now holds the position as di GSNOA oA MILD COulpduy. " 1eTeVer L0l individual has figured, whether in the pur- chase of fence post, right of way th, location, construction or dimensions of depot. there this indignant, dissatisfied feel ing has prevailed, until it is said that ther, never was man 80 intensely hated ant denounced in this town, (whether he cam from the nights of Mt. Riga or the depth of our iron ore beds,) as this director, whos name it is unnecessary to mention. It doe not appear probable that this obnoxiou official has anything to do in making ou the time tables of this road, but when th, people compare them with the treatmen heretofore received, they naturally con ciude that this man is employed to make i as inconvenient and unpleasant for them a possible, and there is but little doubt bu what he makes his calling and (perhaps his election sure. FAIR PLAY.
