 New Time Table, new time table for the Conn. Western road went into ef- feet last Monday, the principle change be- ing in the running time of Conductor FL more's train from Hartford. This train, the former time of which made it arrive at this station at two minutes before one o'clock, now gets here at twenty minutes before one o'clock, and makes a close and very desirable connection with the fast train going north on the Housatonic road. The time table in another column is cor rected to correspond with the new table. Lead Poisoning. Henry Roys. of East Canaan is suffering quite severely from lead poison. He had a lead pipe inserted in the bung hole of barrel of cider, and by some means the pipe slipped into the hole and went to the bottom of the barrel.
 MT. Roys, giving but little thought to the
 matter, did not take the trouble to remove it, and the acids of the cider have acted up
 on the lead and developed 8 poison, which
 has been taken into Mir. R's system by drinking the cider. Hopes are entertained
 that it will not prove fatal.
 Increased Business.-Freight seems t
 be increasing on the Conn. Western road
 fact it's many friends will be glad te
 learn. The morning Freight over from
 Mi,lerton, which arrives at this station a
 ten minutes past eight, seldom gets away
 from here before about half past ten O eleven o'clock, and sometimes not till pas
 noon. Freights are accommodating alonl
 the road SO that the regular trains are hard
 ly able to handle it, and delays sometime
 nnavoidably occur, but if the increase con
 tinues it is presumed extra trains will b
 added.

IT The Fast Trains As announced Ia /. week in THE NEWS, the fast train on il l. Housatonic road began running last Mo ,r day. Engineer Bronson brought it up d Falls Village from Bridgeport plump ( 1S time, and engineer Dick Russell taking n from there, drove into this station with e fe zine No. I3 ''leetle" ahead of time, if al is variationlwhatever from the exact poir 'l and took it through so that it arrived n State Line and made the connection wi " the system of fast trains to the West fro . there. Tuesday Engineer Kingsley C II precisely the same thing, as 1t was expect ,s he would do, anl the fast trains are th of duly inaugurated. Notwithstanding t l. fact that humanity in general, and the pc ., pie of this country in particular. possess ,n almost unsuitable desire to go through E. world, 'tjust little faster. D it would see as as if these trains would satisfy folks for 'i least little time. and would consequent % be correspondingly popular, as we have
 doubt they will be.
