 ''There She Is Again. ."-The locomo tive Salisbury" which went down in the Tarifville disaster, and striking up side down was so thoroughly demolished, is now entirely rebuilt and on the road again. This engine came out of the compsny's shops in Hartford Thursday of last week, and Tues day of this present week she came over the road looking better than ever before, and we presume she is in every respect as good as when entirely new. for the reason that she has been almost entirely rebuilt. It ia only little more than two months since the two engines, "Tariffville" and "Sslis- bury," were wrecked, since which tune they have been raised to the track above and re. paired, and in the case of the Salisbury almost entirely rebuilt, and are now both in the best condition and again doing valuable service on the road. Certainly this is grat- flying record for Master Mechanic John Barton, and his handful of men under him, and we congratulate the management of the road in having such an efficient force in its locomotive repair shops in Hartford.
 Burlington Trado.-Mr. c. J. Burget of Ct. Burlington has a new advertisement in another column. Mr. Burget Is one of the largest and most successful dealers in gro. cerles and staple goods, and people from this section who are in the habit of going to Burlington to buy goods, will do we'll to have MT. Burget's large store in mind. Barrlngton received large trade from this region previous to the opening of the Conn. Western road. and although it has received considerable since, it has had to divide what it previously enjoyed with West Win sted and Winsted. The car fare to Bar rington is not as much as to Winsted; in fact is only about half, but notwithstanding this fact, Winsted and West Winsted, by persistent advertising h the NEWS, have succeeded in drawing very large trade from all about this region. We under stand Harrington merchants are being awakened to their interests Tn this matter and it is presumed they will readily see the wisdom of little attention in this direction MT. Girling, and formerly Girling S Dolittl' extensive ready-made clothing dealers, have for several years advertised part of the yea ln the NEWS, and their testimony is good that it pays them good wholesome divi dend. We welcome MT. Burget to ou columns, for he is one of the staunch, relia ble merchants of Western Massachusetts and it is pleasure to recommend" sucl men to our readers.
