Connecticut western news., 1879-05-28

roads are now less than quarter of q mile | apart, but far enough to greatly inconven fence the travelling public of both roads and | create trouble and confusion in the ex-l change of baggage. Passengers and bag gage are to be transferred by horse power from the Naugatuck to either of the other depots at the expense of the Conn. West ern. The latter company claim that the Naugatuck folks have been exorbitant in their charges for use of track and depot, and probably the cordial unity of the two roads has not made the s'Naugy" over geu- erous, but we suspect that the existence of new and superfuous depot in this village is rot owing to the lamb-llke disposition of either road ID particular.
 Mrs. Riker has got new hired girl
 Her last one hired horse and carriage of Landlord Warner last Saturday afternoon. and getting boy to drive for her, went to Lime Rock, and back as far as the Church street R. R. crossing, where she ordered the boy out, and. declaring herself able to ''paddle her own canoe." turned around and drove towards Mlllerton where she has ssfriends." The next morning, Sunday MT. Warner heard of it. and as she had not returned, started in quest of her, accom-
 panied by Frank VanDeusen. He found her riding around the streets of Millerton. one spring of the carriage, the circle and other parts broken. (It had evidently had ''burden greater than it could bear ') Ed. ordered her out of the carriage, at which she was somewhat surprised, but of fered no remonstrance. The horse was well nigh exhausted, having been driven a great distance, and the carriage was dam aged considerably. .... We had always supposed that the Ca. ! nadians were moral people and loved moral shows and to celebrate the Queens doubt had they done only tAat, proving themselves loyal subjects ready to be ruled by the pretty Louise and name bearer, Lorne. She is a dutiful darling and he above the average sson-in-law." 10 be so conslderate of the widowed Queen's birth day when her sons are so busy, one marry ing 8 wife, one in the ''payee," another looking after the racing morals of her home subjects, making it extremely doubtful if the Canadians would have remt mbcred ev- en if Victoria was ever born or existed (ex- cept pn the escutcheOn of royalty). For all this she is entitled 10 blessing. ''TO see ourselves as others see uss is sometimes for gotten in the lest of families, and in being overgood we sometimes disclose something funny and when innocent Louise invites her foster cousins from the States to help the Marquis remember bis nsother-in-law | 0hough to her it may seem kiHd1, to the average Yankee there is something beside ghost behind the sheet, or gray uniform of the New York Reg, whose boys love
