The shepaue Road:

4, Travel on this road has never been great
 CT than the present season, and the facil-
 ities which this company afford for reach- ing the inland towns of Litcllfeld county are unsurpassed by any other foal when it tislconsidered that traffic is not large only three months in the year. Now that the cars run through direct to South Nor walk, passengers can leave Litchfield at about 2 o'clock Al M.s and arrive in Bridgeport at H. o'clock IA M. The item which has lately crept into state and other papers that the Shepang road was not safe, and that the cars continually skip the track, we will correct by saying that whenever such ssthing takes place it is caused by the western through grain cars and the matter has now been reme- died. The officers of this road are per- feet gentlemen and to Conductor Fowler we are indebted for courtesies shown. He is ever ready to give you any desired im- formation, and makes a fellow-traveler happy when in conversation. -Bridgc. port Standard. .t -. ..--- -.

Judgment that Mr. Freeman's presence
here would pay the company from

salary they may have paid him, and
that i. will be found of the pennywise
