That Bankrupt Article. The Miller

entitled The Bankrupt Law, accrediting it to the New York Tribune, and it was evi- dentIy SO well pleased with it, that it called special attention to it in au item in it's local columns. As the Tribune, nor any other journal ever saw the article tIll it appeared fresh from the pen of ye editor in chief of the CONNECTICUT WESTERN NEWS, our wor- thy Millerton cotemperary has our special gratitude for the distinguished honor he has thus pnconsciously thrust upon us, by his innocent error in mistaking our editorial for one emsnating from the pen of the editor of one of the largest metropolitan journals in the world. To the editor of the Miller ton Telegram we say: Thank you. Most emphatically; Thank you!
 Gold F'ish.-Last Tuesday afternoon As sistant agent, ''Albert," of this station brought into our office large tin pal con- taining full dozen of the largest and most beautiful gold fish we ever saw, and hand ing the pal to us, with letter, retired with one of his most graceful, and we add fur ther, ini.nitable bows. The letter, which was from Conductor F. w. Tanner, of West Stockbridge branch of the Housaton- ic road, was short, but to the point; and | the point was, these beautiful fish were for us, which we were to have without money and without price, transportation charges and everything prepaid in full. That's the way they do it up that way. MT. John Cof- Snfo amongst the eloquent language obthe letter, but we rather guess we understand what that means. If Neighbor Reed wants to | ''trot out'' his Lakevile fountain now, let him do it. We are ready for him. Messrs Cofing and Tanner, you have our profound gratitude, but that isn't worth much. Come 1 down some time and get some butternuts and cider. (Stoeet cider,-we wear a blue ribbon.)
