 Found Again.-And now Meriden has found the lost Charlie Ross. No well or dered town can afford to not find him.
 Slightly Bent-We hate to say it, but it is so: There is man in Chapinville, whose legs are SO crooked that his tailor has | to cut his pants with circular saw.
 Increasing Business.-The Conn. West ern Company find it necessary to run an extra freight train to do their freighting, SO much has that department of the bus mess increased of late.
 One Day Earlier.-On account of next week being Thanksgiving week, we shall publish THE NEWS one day earlier. Will our correspondents and advertising patrons please govern themselves accordingly.
 More Norfolk Granite.-A new granite quarry has just been opened by Perkins & Cook, about one hundred rods from West Norfolk depot. The stone is said to he of very fine grain and even color.
 Completed.-Th rails on the line of the Rhinebeck and Connecticut railroad are now laid to the Harlem railroad at Boston Corners, and construction trains run oyer the whole line of the road. This makes an other connection through to the Hudson
 River over the Connecticut Western road. Duchess County Sausage. One of
 most f1ourishing establishments in this sec, ton is MT. E. F. Kenyon's sausage manu. ! factory in Millerton. Mir. K. tells us be can scarcely keep up with his orders. These Duchess county sausage are becom. ing extensively known as something extra nice, which fact fully accounts for his large sales.

 Those Bridges.-Mr. Hubbard, the
 efficient superintendent of the work of
 grading the walks leading to the foot bridge
 in this village, has completed hls work and
 has done it well, and the selectmen have
 contracted with MT. Martin Harris for the
 construction of the bridge, which we un.
 derstand is to be first-class in every respect;
 or at least, is to be we'll and substantially
 built to the satisfaction of the people. MT.
 H. has commenced his work, and will push
 it through to an early completion. The
 iron bridge for the Main street is being
 built in Springfield, and it is hoped will be
 ready to put in position before we get mucl deeper into winter. We understand it is tt bs of the same class of bridge, and very much like the Lime Rock iron bridge. I , SO, 1t will be good bridge, and in the enc will prove to be far more economical tt
 the town than cheaper structure would
 be. It always pays to do anything design ed 10 be permanent, in the best possible
 manner.
 S Great Harrington Improvements, !; The new town hall and court house il : Burlington has gone into winter quarters l The foundations are laid, and gradinl 2 about the structure done and all in resdi i ness to properly await the arrival of sucl l.. spring weather as will admit of brick lay y ing. The Village Improvement Associa = ton. at the head of which is Mir. Chas
 Benton, formerly of Salisbury, has done y good work this fall in setting out lsrg = number of trees; supplying the places o = those that have died, beside adding larg a number. We are informed trees on eithe n side of the road extend all the way fror = that village to Van Deusenville. This a indeed commendable enterprise. An in e provement association ought to be forme 'f in every village. If such an one existe le in Salisbury much that every citizsn d. at sires to have done would be done. l., Is such an organization be formed and mair h tained.
