 7Ae Ielegraph 06lce Agatn-Our article in THE NEWS two weeks ago, has very just ly awakened considerable interest in the establishment of telegraph office at this station. MT. Watson. our popular depot agent, now comes forward with a propos- tion which seems at once feasible, and can not but be perfectly satisfactory to all con cerned. He proposes to procure au lnstru- ment at his own expense and put In his depot office and operate it himself, receiv-
 
 on messages as his compensation, and when he leaves this office, the machine be- longing to himself, will be taken away with him, unless the people choose to purchase It of him and retain it here. Mir Watson has m ade himself popular in Salisbury, by his strict attention to his business and gen. tlemanly treatment of the patrons of the Conn. Western road, and this new propo-- sition, made by him, for no purpose but to obtain telegraph facilities for himself and the citizens of Salisbury, will be received and welcomed by the people. He is now negotiating for the instruments, which it Is expected will soon be here.
 Eight Children at BirtA. On the list of August, says the Cincinnati Ldncet and O6serCer, Mrs. Timothy Bradlee of Hrum hull county, Ohio, gave birth to eight chi- drcn-three boys and five girls. They are all living and are healthy, but quite small MT. Bradlee was married six years ago to Eunice Mowery, who weighed two hun dred and seventy-three pounds the day of her marriage. She has given birth to two pair of twins, and now eight more, mak- ing twelve children in six years. Mrs Bradlee was triplet, her mother and fa- ther both being twins, and her grandmother the mother of five pairs of twins. Next!
 Many of the oldest inhabitants of this village will remember the lad who lived with the late Deacon Chittenden in this village and attended school several years ago. That lad, it will interest them to know, was none other than the Timothy Bradlee alluded to above. Much has been said in THE NEWS since we commenced it's publication, of the large number of men who have gone out from here and have made their marks in the world" MT. Bradlee of course is one of them, and we ven ture to say none will dispute his right to prominent position among the yreat men of told Salisbury"
 Mysterious Goshen.-The following com municatlon from Goshen is, without ex- ccption, the most singular of anything we have ever received for publication since we engaged in the newspaper business, and would not for moment entertain the idea of putting 1t in type, had it not been ac- companied by the following special re - quest, signed by those who purport to be the postmaster and town clerk of the town of Goshen, as well as others. The article itself, coupled as it is by the request of the town clerk of town and others that such 1 an one should be published ger6atin,, is in deed strange. Below we give it, as request ed, "without the addition, subtraction or alteration of line or word in it," and our readers can draw their own inference. t GOSHEN, Jan. 23rd, 1874.
 We, the undersigned, citizens of Goshen would respectfully request the publication of the enclosed correspondence, including the serenade, without the addition, sub traction or alteration of line or word in it. CHARLES J PORTER, Postmaster. H. s. SCovILL.

 A large company of the relatives and friends of MT. and Mrs. - assembled at the residence of the lat ter, on the evening of January -, 1874, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their marriage, and extend to them such courtesies as are customory upon the happy event of a silver wedding. Speeches were made suitable to such an occasion, and many tokens of friendship by presents of silver coin and ware were also made. The entertainment provided was more than am pie, and of edibles there was a surfeit.
 A witness to the brightness of the stars, from leaving before the close of this ban quet, and not witnessing the saluting of the bride, vouched for by others, it is con cluded each of them was inspired with the mind and music for serenade hereafter, about as follows:
 SERENADE.
 Look forth from thy window my ladv love.
