A collision occurred here on Wednesday evening. An empty freight car standing on the side track in some way got started and ran down partly over the switch. Swan Brewster, hearing the noise and suspecting what had occurred, ran to light the switch lantern, to signal the train, but having lame hand he dropped the light and then went to the nearest house for a lantern. Before he returned the evening train had come up, running into the freight car which it broke into frag- ments, also breaking the COW catcher con- s1derably. Fortunately no one was in iured. Had the car been loaded the con. sequences would probably have been more serious.

as having goton the train the evening of the burglary at Derby; two buying tick cts to LitcLfeld, and one to Waterbury Gle thinks the latter stole ride between the tender and the car). Johnson and the elder Davis W ere seen that evening by several witnesses in Wolcottville, thesev-' idence of Benjamin Bisseli being the most conclusive. Davis had formerly worked in the factory robbed, under the name of Scofeld. MT. Beach, Supt. of the Naugatuck railroad, testified about his having been walked up by the city pa trol at Waterbury, about o'clock the following morning, with news of the pas- sage of the hand car;y and how he followed with an engine, overtaking the car near .Ansonia. Here they found the tracks of men leading down to the river; and on the other side the tracks of the same persons coming out The river is four feet deep at that place. Sheriff Tucker testified 10 his finding the prisoners at Matt. Wards with their clothes wet through, and that one of them tried to escape.
 The prisoners themselves denied hav- ing been in Wolcottville at all. The case was ably argued by Welch & Hun tington for the State, and Graves for the prisoners The jury found verdict of guilty and the judge sentenced them to four years in State Prison. Indictments still hang over them for breaking into the railroad car house at Wolcottville, and obstructing the track with the hand-car near Ansonia.

 "Informal," No. 1, came off at Gibbs Hall, Tuesday evening, the 18th ult., in flying colors. Duncan's Full Band was in prompt attendance and dispensed, as usual, a variety of tunes with sweetest music. The tables were spread with the choicest the market affords, and about the 10th hour all present were invited to par take to their hearts content. Soon the music sounded, and all were at their posts as if nothing had happened; when, about the first hour. the company passed quietly to their homes, hoping to meet at Inform al No. 2 at no distant day.
 Wednesday evening, the 29th ult., the Episcopal Mite society met at the resi- dence of Mrs. 0.

Another very cold snap commenced last Saturday morning, with a snow storm. AL though it showed but a short time the wind commenced to blow very hard fill ing the air with snow and dust. Sunday morning the Thermometer stood at--3o below zero, and it continued very cold all day so that no meeting was held in the Baptist Church in the evening as usual.
 On Friday, Dec. 8. about ten men from Cornwall came down, and, with the additional help of few of our neighbors, proceeded to build fence along the old road which was lately opened on Mir. Bradley Beach's land. It is rumored that Mir. Beach has or is going to forbid the stage and other teams crossing his land, but we hope there will be no troub- le.
 Last Friday evening man called at the house of Mrs. Hart, wanting to stay over night, and as it was late she consen- to keep him. He had been in the house but a short time before he mentioned that he was just from the Insane Retreat, which of course did not quiet the ladies nerves any.so after they had lighted their lodger to bed, they proceeded to fasten him in, allowing him the range of only three chambers. About 2 o'clock a. m., thav hoard O rattlino at fha chomhar door and got up, thoroughly alarmed, and staid up the rest of the night. They do not propose to entertain any more chance lodgers.
