 Salisbury The glorious Fourth was observed here in very quiet manner. The night of the Third was made somewhat hideous by the footing of fish horns and the rasping of horse fiddle, but as the din was confined to one locality, our citizens were undisturbed in their slumbers. In the morning the bells of the churches were rung for short time, after which the ut most quiet prevailed throughout the day, even the snap of the fire cracker and tor pedo was rarely to be heard. The usual servlces were held at St. Johns church in the morning. In the evening good dis. play of fire works took place from the grounds of the Key. MT. Johnson, and from the Maple Shade Hotel. As a result Of this quiet observance of Independence, the following bits of pleasantly have been reported to our head constable for investi- gation: Stephen Newberry lost his coat, hat, boots, and small sum of money while asleep under the horse sheds a brute pounded his wife on Washinee Street; a case of connublal infelicity occurred on Jersey Street, and there was brawlin the RookerY......Last Thursday night thieves effected an entrance into Patrick Lynch's cellar and carried away one half barrel of pork......People who think this IS not a wool growing country, are invited to ex- anime the following statistics Mir.

 More Fast Trains. ns.-Another new time able of the Housatonic road made it's ap. last Saturday, which went into effect last Tuesday. This new table 'ecords new trans added to the road and changes as follows: The forenoon passen- ger train from Pittsfeld, and which former y left that station at o'clock, passing Ga . laan at quarter to eleven. now leaves oittsfie!d at 8 o'clock and passes this sta ion at 9:35, and arrives in Bridgeport at
 2:30, noon. Its time of running is made horter, and of course it's speed is in reased.
 At l:30 F. M., 8 train now leaves Pitts leld for Bridgeport, and which is an en- rely new train added to the road. This rain passes Canaan at o'clock F. M., and makes close and desirable connection with Conductor Elmore's Conn. Western train rom Millerton, and arrives at Bridgeport t 5:55 P. M., connecting with train at bridgeport for New York, arriving in the ity at an early hour in the evening. The ther trans going south are not changed ex. ept the regular way freight trains, which m on the same time as before but go only very other day; viz., south, Tues avs, Thursdays and Saturdays. nd go north Mondays, Wednes- avs and Fridays. All former ains going north are as before but new xpress freight train has been added. This CIV train leaves Bridgeport at 1,45 D. m., nd passes Canaan at 6,45, arriving in ittsfeld at 10 o'clock in the evening. With two new trains added to the road ,one orth and the other south, aud the speed | lcreased to suit the fastideous public, it 'ould seem as if the Housatonic road was estined at once to become one of the most opular in the country. What would the the reliable and careful Father [unt, the once "president and superintepd Ut, say, could he rise from his ashes and | ehold the trains dashing over his road at lch ''reckless" pace

The still party resolved to keep ,e bell from being rung at all hazards ccordingy they imported distinguished thlete, and resolved to guard the church, ut the boys, by little strategy succeed in getting in, and soon the clang! clang! the bell was fixed thing for the rest of tt night.
