 l The Conn. Western Road.-The officer
 of the Conn. Western road at the meeting
 of the stockholders in Hartford last weel
 were able to show in their statement of th'
 business of that road during the ten month'
 1t has been under their control and man
 agement, record that cannot be otherwise
 than gratifying to all friends of the road
 The expenditures for repalrs of the road
 rebuilding bridges and making the thorough
 fare safe to the travelling public, met witt
 the hearty approval of all, as did also tho
 economy that was found to have been prac
 tised in every department. and everybody
 seemed fully satisfied with the manage
 ment, and reelection of these faithful anC efficient officers was the result.

 Wing, Coe &, Finch. --Messrs. Wing, Coe & Finch of West Winsted have con-
 tracted with us for their advertisement, which our readers will find in another col umn. to run year. These gentlemen have arranged with us to change their advertise ment very frequently during the year, and by so doing will have constantly before the people their freshest and most desirable goods, and the ladies will find it for their interest to keep posted by frequently con- sulting this advertisement. Messrs. Wing, Coe 6 Finch deal exclusively for cash, and not having the care and expense attending trade in barter ;sbutter. eggs, etc., they are able and soiU sell their goods as low as any house in Connecticut. This fact is of interest to people this way, for it is to be presumed they do not take butter and eggs to Winsted when they buy goods, and with their ready cash will secure the low prices an exclusively cash store is able to give. Think of this, read their advertisements frequently, go. buy and be happy.
 Housatonic R.R.-The Housatonic R R. Co. have arranged in convenient form for the patrons of their road, time table, giv- ing not only the time of all trains at the several stations, but all connections, and notably those connecting at State Line with the fast trains for the West. On one page of these tables is their map of their road, showing all these important and desi- rable connections, and making plain the superior advantages of this route over all others to the West. Tickets are sold, and baggage checked through to all points in the West and Southwest, at Newtown, Dan bury, New Milford, Canaan and Ct. Bar rington. These small tables, and whi oh contain much more information of interest to the public than what we have mention ed above, can be obtained at the passenger stations on the road. The company have also issued large and finely executed post CT, noting in an abridged form the advan- tages of this. route. which can also be seen " nic SyNYrc an amount of enterprise that is indeed com and we have no doubt is kind of enterprise that not only serves and ben efits the public, but tends to enhance the value of the stock of the road, as is quite right and proper it should do.

 Falls Village. e.-The band concert, which has been the prevailing theme for for some time passed off very nicely, the band doing themselves great credit. Prof. Stillman's playing, of course, needs no praise. as his reputation is al- ready established, as Is also that of Miss Perkins, the vocalist. Miss Emma Blod- gett acquitted herself with much grace, and her voice is very sweet. MT. Underwood. not ''down on the bills" was acquisition. His playing was all most perfect, and the skill with which he handled some very difficult n usc promises to place him prominent among the masters of that "king ot instruments" the violin. ......Amy Stones troupe rendered Fan chon the Cricket" very acceptably to a moderately filled house. They play the 'sPearl of Savoy" here on the 29th inst..... MT. Lawson, the temperance speaker lee. tured to large audience on Friday even- ing.

 The Ten Eyok Execution .--There seems to be 8 general desire among the whole people to have the execution of Ten Eyck in Pittsfleld in August public exc cution. The large room in which it is de- signed to execute the sentence of the law upon the condemned, will admit of but few besides the officers in charge. and it is thought that if the old custom of perform ing these duties should be adopted in this case. the effect of the example upon the inclined would be salutary, and hence the moral effect of executions would be greatly enhanced. To be sure some will say that the only motive the thou sands upon thousands who would 20 to
