 THE NEW RAILROAD. It is very grati- flying to write the following in. regard to the proposed New Railroad. Over one hundred signatures were obtained in a very short time in New Preston of those who wore in favor of having the road built, and many more would have been glad to have added their names to the petition had it not been sent away so soon. It is with pleasure that we can re- port ':That surveyors have surveyed the road from Danbury to New Milford al- ready"
 If the road should be built the distan ce to New York would be shortened num- Der of miles. We under stand that E. o. Sperry of Marbledale. offers to give de- pot all built, to the railroad company if they will go through that, place; the above offer is certainly good one. We do not as yet say that the road s0iH 6e built, but its probable that in slloft time the matter will be decided. Let us hope that the steam whistle may soon cbe9 heard down the Aspetuck Valley. Past expert ences have taught the New Preston peo- pie to think. of railroad with many mis- givings.A But they may have better luck at last.
 SAD AcorDENr.-O Sunday, July 18th, a very sad accident happened to well known, young man from Kent. MT. Rich ard B. Waldron, in company with three young men while calling at house in the town of Rexbury, was accidentally shot by one of his companions, the ball enter ing the right leg near the groin. and pen etrating about four inches. Dr. F. c. Brown. of Woedbury, was summoned inn mediately and upon his arrival tired to probe the wound but the ball could not be found. If the3 bullet had gone one half of an inch to thel right it would have cut the main artery cansing almost instant deathx The ball has not been extracted as yet, and tfle safgeons lehink that it will be best to let it remain, in the leg. as it would be a very difficult operation to extract it, Although only two weeks have expired since the accident happened, the patient is able to use9 his injured limb. This sad accident should be another warn ing against the careless use oE firearms.

The Maine Republican convention met last week. Resolutions were offered, some approving, and others disappearing the Presidents Southern policy. In accord ance with, the views of MT. Blaine they were all tabled, and there was no express ion of opinion regarding the Presidents policy. Mir. Blaine shrewdly took the po- sition that there was an houest difference of opinion among good Republicans on the point: that the action of the President was past recall; and that it would be un- wise to quarrel over matter of no rprest ent practical importance

It strikes us that his decision is not only contrary to the true policy of the govern msas ia al cases. but especially so in the case of recommendations made by Con. gres<men- Any recommendation to office should be treated as public document, 0psn to public inspection.

WATER FOR EUREKA.

AS puzzlesome problem as any with which
the Eurekans have had to deal is that of an
adequate water supply, By the following,
which we clip from the Sentinel of July 28th,
we learn that the needed supply seems at
hand:
Major Mccoy has been prospecting for
some time for a greater supply water. 1t is
a well-known fact that water abounds in and
along the canyon in which Eureka is built
procuring an abundant supply of the article.
To find the spring OF source from whence it
came has been the object of the Majors search,
and we Judge from what We saw yesterday on
a visit to the premises, that he has been en-
tirely successful. At q spot just above the
log cabin built by him some years ago above
the Richmond furnace, and at the mouth OF
the main canyon, he has run cut feet
wide and Is feet deep for some distance, and
tunneled about IS feet more. Water was
struck at the end of the tunnel, and large
and powerful stream is bubblin2 out from the
face and sides Of the drift. We measured the
quantity running from it, at point where
board has been placed across the floor, and
found it TO be "a inches wide, and when it
fell over the board, 81 inches deep. The
supply is constantly increasing as the work
men 60 further into the face of the drift. 1t
is the Majors intention to run cross-drifts,
and concentrate the water at the face of the
tunnel. His discovery is a very opportune
one, and averts all danger of a water famine,
the supply being ample from this one source
for all the wants of Eureka. There is no
doubt but that the Major has struck the
source of the body OF water that perlneates the
clay, and heretofore drained
through the underground channels that car
ried it past the town.

Concerning the late shooting at Hunter We
have been able to learn but a few particulars.
1t appears that man named Kelly who keeps
restaurant next door to Hanley's saloon,
got into a row in the latter place, and finally
became so abusive that the constable was
called to take him away The constable and
night watohman promptly answered the sum-
mons, and as they came into the saloon, kel-
ley made movement as though in the act of
drawing six-shooter, when the constable

tolls went off by accident, and Immediately the
shooting became general Kelley was finally
arrested and was found to be shot through

badly damaged, and still another, who was

ball in the foot, The report that three men
had been hung at Hunter is without founda
