 Elegant Mansion.-The new house in Lime Rock being built for MT. Charles Barnum, is now being pushed forward in it's work of completion very rapidly, and when finished it will probably be the most elegant and costly mansion in North Vest ern Connecticut.

R.-Freightlng con. tlnues heavy on the Conn. Western road. and the passenger traffic holds good, and and the prospect of better and moro sat- isfactory footing of the business of the year than has been shown before for long period of time, seems very fattering indeed. Everybody wants to sec the Conn. Western road prosper, and of course now rejoices at it's present improved condition, financial ly, as well as every other way.
 Horses Leg Broke.-A fine horse be- longing to MT. Rrmsay, of Mlllerton, who was on visit to his father-in-law, Mir. Pull yer in Ashley Falls, while in the pasture last Sunday, in some way not known got his off hind leg broke just above the ankle. It is supposed the animal was kicked by some of the other horses in the sama pas ture. Dr. Scovllle was called, who set the fractured limb, and bandaged it with splints, Plaster Paris, etc., and considerable hope is entertained of saying the horse; in fact the leg is made so secure it is thought it will break elsewhere sooner than at the fracture.
 Canaan vs. Salisbury ore--We wont say that the ore mines of Salisbury. which
 have attained world wide reputation for a
 very superior quality of ore, and which
 have been worked for more than century,
 are to be closed up, filled in, leveled oyer,
 and the miners that once knew them will
 know them no more forever; but that
 Squire Peet's new mine at Tobey Hill is giving forth quality of ore hair finel
 and shade purer than the Salisbury ores
 the Hon. Fl. P. Harris of Ore Hill says he supposes (and he acted as if it come like pulling teeth to town up,'D he supposes te be fact, and the mountain of ore piled uI at his mines at the Hill attest the truth O. his remark.
 Better Times.-The Hartford Time says: Some concurrent and significant in
 dications point to the welcome fact tha
 the worst is over, an i, that business is really, at last beginning t. . revive. St. Louis reports starting up il
 trade Baltimore announces full hotels
 and says that not for years has It seen s !, early or so extensive fall trade. Tn White Star line announces an increase thi
