Salisbury, Feb. 15, 1878.
 We feel indebted to our reliable and steadfast Salisbury friend for his opportune and sensible remarks concerning the reno val of our office from the good old town of Salisbury. It was very natural that the ip- habitants of village like Salisbury should not relish the idea of the removal of 8 newspaper started amongst them to neigh boring village; and were the reasons for so doing any but those of undoubted and un- questionable validity, no blame could be at tached to them for an expression of their dis approbation and indignation. But the rea- sons that impelled us to the change from Salisbury to Canaan have been stated in these columns, and recognized as good and valid by all who will consent to view them with an unprejudiced and impartial eye i; and our experience thus far since the change was made Ca year and four months ago) has fully demonstrated to us the wisdom of the course we have pursued. Every man, in passing through life of business, makes more or less mistakes, some making more than others. This inevitably results from the fallibility of mans judgment. and in our few years of life's business, we find that we are no exception to the rule, for we have also committed error, have made sad and grievous mistakes, but we have not yet learned, DOT have we seen any indications of anything pointing to the fact, that tte removal of our newspaper and printing of flee from Salisbury to Canaan. is one of the mistakes of our life, and we indulge the hope that we never shall. We were made aware of the feeling existing in Salisbury at our removal, as stated by our good friend in his communication above, but saw plainly the unreasonable effort to make the NEWS unpopular amongst our Salisbury readers, was confined to very small circle, and that it received no sympathy from the influential and welltodo citizens of that

frequently and more rapidly than ever be- fore, and evidently with equal safety for the list of accidents or mlshaps of any char acter, even the slightest, is exceedingly small; in fact so small we can see. in our memory, scarcely anything that has occur ed for long period pack, that has disturb ed the systematic regularity and efficient service of the road. The effort which has been made for some time past to make the road one of the connecting links to the great chain of roads forming the through route to the West, has been very successful; the rap id and safe running of the trains, and their reliable connections, having already made the road very popular route. Appleton's Railway Guide for February comes out with fine large map, published in connection with the time table of the Housatonic road, showing these important and desirable con- nections. This map cannot be otherwise than very convenient and valuable to all who contemplate journey. The guides can be obtained of newsboys on the trains, and at the usual places where periodicals are sold. Referring to the Housatonic road and it's new map, the Railway Guide says editoriallY:
 As will be perceived, this road connects with some of the principal railways of the country, through the New York & New Haven on the south and the New York Central on the north and west. To the Gen. eral Ticket Agent, Mr. H. D. Averill, are our readers and the travelling community indebted for the able and comprehensive manner in which this road is brought before them through the medium of the map and time table. There is not an intelligent per son who reads this article and turns to the map, who can fail to see how important it is to the road as we'll as to the traveller that It should be thus represented In the Guide. Thousands and tens of thousands have, no doubt, heard of the Honsatonic Railway, but the probability is that rot onein thou sand had an idea before where it was loca- ted. l

people of Louisiana. In this we
have been woefulIy disappointed.
