Connection Western Railroad.

This new road has done we'll in the brief period of it's existence, considering the fact that one of its three years has been panic year in which business every where has been dull. Tue iron business at the west end of the road has been quiet during the year, and the road has lost 8 business of $l5, ,00O month on account of tue dull ness of that interest. But otherwise it's business has increased, including both freight and passengers. Its directors re- port the receipts for the year ending Sept. 80, 1874, $35O, 7S6. l6; expenses, $2l2, 235. 02. Receipts over running expenses, $l34, 55l.l4. But the insurance, taxes, rents, etc., amount to $I97, ,543.67. This leaves a deficiency of $5s, 1892 53. But tue earn ings of the road for the three months pre- vious to January lst, will make up part of this deficiency. Should the iron interest revive ln the spring, it will add $lOO, ,OOO, aud possibly more to the income of the road next year. Then the opening of the Rhinebeck road, running to the great coal depot on the North river, and connecting with tue Connecticut Western at the State line, will bring to the latter a large amount of treights. So th It the prospects are that the Connecticut Western will soon be able to pay all expenses, its coupon interest. and have something to spare. Should the bridge over the Hudson at Poughkeepsie be built, it will open large resources from the Pennsylvania Central and it's branc hes aud afford the Connecticut Western all il can do with single track, and even make it's stock valuable. The managers of the Conn. Western road feel confident they point, and that its coupon interest, as well a> every other obligation, will be regularly paid, ,-Uatf0rd Times.

KENT IN 1S1O.

Kent is post township situated in the southwestern section of the county, 45 miles from Hartford; bounded on the north by Sharon and Cornwall, on the east by Washington and Warren, oa tho south by New Milford and Sherman, and on the west by the State of New York; having u average length of nearly miles, aud an average breadth of more than miles, con. taining 48 square miles.
 The township Is enthusiastically mouL- tainous; and its geological structure con- sists principally of Granite, although in some sections 1t Is calcareous. Among it's mineral treasures, iron ore is found in great abundance. Several mines have been opened and worked, from which it is estimsted, that several thousand dollars worth of the ore Is annually raised. There are seven forges that have been erected, and are usually in operation; all of which 1t has been estimated, manufacture 100 tons of iron annually. These mines and the manufactures and various interests which depend upon them. afford employ AASDN " AAAoo"y, ohu LO cllcT- prise, and are sources of considerable wealth to the town.
 The soil of this town varies, according to its geological structure. Upon the hills of granite, it is hard and grasely. and in tie limestone wales it is 8 rich calcareous loam; the former affords tolerably good grazing, and the latter produces wheat, rye and grass. The timber Is oak, walnut, ash Sc.
 This town is watered by the Ousatonick aud it's numerous branches, which afford many valuable sites for mills and other water works. It is accommodated by the Li,chfsId and New Preston turnpike, which passes through it's south section.
 Tue population of the town, in 1910, was l794; and there are now 200 qualified Electors, companies of Militia, and about 2e0 Dwelling houses.
 In addition to the domestic manufac turss of the town, and those of iron already noticed. there are two Gruin Mill, Pulling Mills and Clo,hier's works, Cardlng Ma chine and Tannsries. There are M,r. cantile Stores.
