 Faney TNeir Feelinr.-The Litcbfeld Enquirer says: The dearest almanac of it's size in the known world is the Connecti- cut Register" It costs jast four times what 1t formerly did without any cores bonding increase in size. Fancy the feel ings of the Litchfeld lawyer who, after disbursing hls dollar for this l28 mo. vol. ume, finds the United States District Court set down as holding nine terms this year, in the towns of New Milford, Canaan and Winchester.
 Contentnaent-Mr. Rudd, of Lakeville says the most perfect picture of content ment he ever saw is depicted on the coun- tsnance of Merchant Jones, as he goes to and from his store these dull times. He never complains of dull times; is a perfect picture of health: One hand thrust into his pocket and with an air of ''don't care whether school keeps or not" he strolls along. Such was the language used by MT. Rudd the other day as he watched him from his office in the knife factory coming from the dopot, and when Mr. R learns. the true secret of such contentment, he will ascertain that it is because MT. Jones advertises in the CONNECTICUT WEST RRN NEWS.
 He Stopped 1Aena.-Last Monday after noon a car standing on the Davis Bed side track was'got under headway by the wind, which was blowing gale at the time, and ran down the main track, and as the switch was not turned to connect with it, ran off and became somewhat entan gled; so much SO in fact as to make it rather difficult for d train to pass. Mir. Perkins, the office clerk, seeing the situation of affairs, and the dan ger to the afternoon milk train that would soon be along, stationed himself on the track, and when Engineer Hatch hove in sight swung his hat with so much vigor that he nearly tore the brim off, while the wind howled various operatic airs around and through his raven locks. As an evi dence of fidelity to trust, nothing further is needed, as the determined expression or his countenance told plainly enough that he would not surrender lis position till thai train stopped, if he tore the brim of his hal a1 off.
