The mysterious looking letters above print ed mean, when translated, tThe New York Boston, Albany and Schenectady Railroad Several times within few months, The Cour fer has had something to say of this company and it's proposed new trunk line from New York to Schenectady via Danbury, Ct., Great Burlington, and State Line, N. Y. Our read CTS will be pleased to receive positive assur ance that the company means business and is taking active measures looking to the early construction of the line. The enterprise ii well-backed.- and large capitalis already paid in.
 Surveyors have been in the field since last fall and the route between Schenectady apo State Line is already located. The theodolite and chain carriers who have excited the cur. iosity of our townspeople during the last few days are the engineers entrusted with the To- cation of the route from State Line to Dau- they are surveying through this village.
 The line they have followed from Van Deusenville keeps west of the highway, pass. Ing through the meadows of Jared Lewis, David N. Fuller and Frederick Abbey Through this village the road will probably run just west of the Housatonic track and parallel to it, cutting across the pleasant door, yards of Messrs. George Russell, Farley A. Russell. George Church and Major Gibbons. From here the road will run to Sheffield, but from that point the engineers expect to bear westward to Lakeville, giving Canaan the go by, so that when the expected consolida Sion with the Connecticut Western takes place, Lakeville and not Canaan, will be the impor- tant railway center, where trains will be divided for east, west and south. From Lake vile the engineers will follow the easiest and shortest route to Danbury, keeping west of the Housatonic river all the way.
 This road will seek through business rather than local traffic. Great Harrington may count herself exceptionally fortunate in being one of the few way stations, enjoying shorter time to New York, and the long of com- petition in freight and passenger rates-Berk- shiae Courier.

 Last Friday, through the efforts of Messrs c. Brown and J F. Millspaugh, thirty two men assembled at Grassy Hill cemetery with scythes, rakes and shovels, to reclaim the field which had grown up to a swampy ap pearance, having been totally neglected, ex cept by few who have relatives buried there, and have taken care of their own plots. They did good days work, and the result was, they moved the whole field over and carried the brush and grass away to be burn ed when dry enough to admit of it, and they strengthened up many, though not all of tn" stones which had fallen over, and leaned every which way. It is intended to finish the latter job, and to now the yard over again ID the fall, and to hereafter keep it moved and cared for every year. Much credit is due these two gentlemen for their interest and la bors in securing the job being so we'll done, which should be seen to be appreciated, and a large number dad visit the yard Sunday, who think great change has been wrought for the better in the looks of the hitherto neg lected cemetery. The oldest stone yet dis covered bears the date of l740, and was erected to the memory of Isaac Peck, son of Isaac and Ruth Peck, who died January l4th, aged Years." The next oldest marks the grave of Amos, son of Robert and Rebecca Hunt, who dled June 9th, l76s, in ye 14th year of his age." Several stones are so moss- ed over as to be almost illegible, and bear date from 1775 down to 1900 On one stone is the following quaint inscription: "In mem- ory of Samuel Robbins Mills. son to ye Rev. Samuel John and Mrs Esther Mills of Tor ringford, who died Nov. ye 10th, l772, aged II weeks. Sleep Sweet Babe, While We Undress, And With You Rest, Till Christ l shall Bid Us Rise" IDLEwMD. Kent.
