 Durham. m.-William 5. Wilcox has Dur ham bull three years old, which weighs 239O lbs. He is young elephant In appear ance and fearful to look upon, but his keep CT has him in perfect subjection.

 Old Coins.-Garrett De Hart of Canaan Valley showed us an old Spanish quarter oi dollar the other day, bearing the date ei 1723. The coin was remarkably we'll pre- served, and the date was plainly visable Jeweler Gardner also showed us the othel day Spanish cent having date of 172S.
 All Temperanoe.-That is pretty much all THE NEWS amounts to this week. St. Paul said: "I am determined to know noth. ing among you. save Jesus Christ and Him crucifed," and scarcely anybody in town has known much, If anything during the past week, but the Murphy interest and the temperance cause, therefore we have little else to write about.-3ui 1t wont hurt our readers to give lem pretty good dose of temperance for just one week.
 Chapinvllle. The Chapinville furnaces continue to pour out Salisbury iron. They are not perhaps running to their fullest ca pacity, but are doing good healthy busi- ness, making seven or eight tons of iron per day. The venerable iron manufacturer, Horace Lardon, who has passed not only his ''three score and ten," but has passed his four score years, is to all appearance, az full of energy and business zeal as ever. It seems indeed remarkable that 'sharp of q thousand strings can keep in tune % lo'lg. '
 Laksville. The committee to whom wss assigned the duty of determ' ming the amount the town of Salisbury should pay to the George Cofing, heirs for the land or which stands the Town hall building, have reported that pAe town should pay ons thousand O. ollars.. MT. Beth Walton hal sold his fine residence in Lakeville to MT HeD' Chapin of New York;. There were rorty-six new signers of the Murphy 1 pledge at the meeting in Salisbury last Sat urday evening. The interest continues un abated at Salisbury and Lakeville.
 Temperance Hotels. We are creditly informed that proprietors of hotels in thi place are strongly inclined to decide irml, and positively to make their hotels cold wa ter houses, permitting no liquor to be sol' or drank upon their premises. This is ceI tainly manly and noble stand to take, an' will at once make every Murphy in tn country friend of these houses. The pro prietors of most hotels are men of sense and men who have deplored what was re r garded as the necessity for an open bar at , hotel but the time for selling rum as nee , essary to the success of hotel, has nov | unquestionably come to an end. Let all tn people take these men by the hand and as
 sure them taey will help them to keep he
 tel. and have good business too, and ths without the aid of rum. Let every strange l coming into this place be directed by , Murphy to the hotels that do not seN' run B and by no means let this work be only ten porary, but permanently fixed and stead business.
 New Time Table.-The Housatonic raj road company have issued new time table but the only changes are made in the even ss ing and night freight trains. The Throug
 freight now passes this station going nort at l .05 8. m., instead of at 6.1O D. m., . , heretofore. The Express freight, whic left this station going north at 6.45 D. ID . now runs on the time of the Throug freight, before this table was issued. Tn
 trains on this road are now entirely out o the told rut," that was worn 90 deep by 8 many years running in 1t, or in other word they are almost entirely changed from tn time that they for SO many years run on : there then being 30 little change from yea
 to year, that scarcely new table need b printed, and the old stereotYped form woul answer as well, but now all, or at least yer nearly all, are change Iltheir running time and the footings of passenger fares, as we
 as freight receipts, are now beginning L
 show pretty conclusively the wisdom o
 these changes, as for instance, in the si
 months the trains have been running mor
 rapidly and to connect at State Line witl
 the fast train to the West, seven huudre
 and sixty-one more through passengers fo
 the West have been carried than were take
 in the SIX months at the same time of yeal the year previous.
