 New Milford Whiskey.--A New Milford man has used sixteen barrels of whiskey to drown trouble and trouble is getting the best of him at last.-Erch0mge.
 That's rough on the whiskey: Some of the whiskey sold in Salisbury is warranted to put man out of trouble the first shot.

 That New Train.-The new train on the Housatonic railroad known as the Barring ton Special, is becoming very popular and is being well patronized. Passengers by that train can go to New York, and, having four hours business there, return to their homes with the evening train.

 Cheap Horses.-Dr. s. B. P. Knox, who has been visiting friends in this region, and who recently returned from few months sroughing 1t in California, says the horses there known as Mustangs can be bough for seventy .foe cents e ,10sen! What z price for horsefesh! It is too ridiculous for anything! Dr. Knox is gentleman whose word is as good as anybody else'' note, and this is certainly correct, but wha an idea! They are cheaper than saw horses. Those Smoking Cars.-The new smok- ing cars so recently added to the rolling stock of the Housatonic railroad, are prob r ably the finest for the purpose designed il 3 the country. They are constructed witl especial reference to the comfort of thos
 who will occupy them, and are provided 6 with every convenience desirable. In on a end is an apartment for the mail agent D while the remaining portion of these lon !, cars is devoted to the accommodation o !, the lovers of the weed. They are in us 9 on Conductors Sti!lscn's and Lathrop' l. trains.
 Flooded Grass.-The meadows in tn h valley of the Housatonic are trying the pa n tience of their owners severely. The recen carrying their burdens of sand and mud an
 depositing it in the almost full grown grass
 renders having now anything but desira , ble pastime, to say nothing of the almos a entire destruction of the crop. A littl bull dog grit as we'll as grind stone grit wi - be found necessary to be brought to bea
 upon the scythe to get successfully throug v with the work. Such is life and this
 one of the unpleasant features thereof. # The Hampton Singers.
