The connection through to the Hud- son river, secured by the purchase of the Rhinebeck and Connecticut road, has proved to be an important one, and promises to be one of more and more value in the future. The placing of the Hon. Thomas Cornell, and the gentle men associated with him at Rondout, N. Y., upon the board of directors was wise. MT. Cornell has now @ large interest in the united roads; he is also largely interested in railroads west of the river, and in the Delaware and Hudson canal, the coal-carrying route from the coal fields to Rondout, and the western terminus of this road on the Hudson. The alliance of such impor- tant interests, all working for the de- velopment of this property, is gratify- ing and promising one. The Connecti- cut Western is now being controlled and managed by men who have faith in 1t, and are giving their best efforts to the work of bringing to it the success they believe it is capable of achieving. There is good reason to believe that it has passed its hardest experience, and that following up of the wise and careful management of the past two or three years will insure for the road a steady growth of business, and conse- quently of value"

The U1sr,nI ResuIt.

It Is not to be denied Int good sewing ma chine is one of the most important appurtenances of the modern household.
 We thought we had gooa machine in our household until one day the agent of the NEwHoME deliver an oration upon it's characteristic merits.
 But' we answered, tour machine serves us nicely and suites us we'll and we do not care for anolher.'
 The agent, however begged the privilege of leaving one of his machines with us flor the la- dies to try "ss
 The request was not unreasonable, SO we grant ed it-but more to obige the agent than any thing else; for we really did not want the machine and had not the remotest idea of buying it.
 The machine once in the house, it was natural that the ladies should look it over, they did SO, and a consequence fell in love with it. They say that without the slightest wish to decry or disparage any other machine. this, all things con sidered, is. in their opinion, the most desirable one to be had.
 The upshot of the whole matter was that the old machine was disposed of, and the 'Ligh' Run ming New Home" installed in our household. It is pronounced genuine beauty and Q real com fort, and tour folks' wanted us to;tel other folks about 1t.
 This unrivalled machine is manufactured by the NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE O., 30 Union Square, New York who wish us to say that all who will send for their new Illustrated catalogue and enclose their adt ertisement (printed on an- other page, will receive set of fancy advertising novelties. of value to those collecting cards, sc.

 It IS now some time since we have told you anything about our Stock of Clothing, but as Fall is here and a Cold Winter is coming, we want to call your attention to some goods in our Stock, which we believe will just suit your wants for the Winter.
 FIRST, However, we would say that a change has taken place in our store since last Spring. MT. Rogers has left us to take a position in the city. His good will he has left with us, and we shall endeavor to keep his trade as far as possible, if good goods, low prices and telling the truth about what we sell will do it, we shall not lose many custom CTS, we have not time or money to throw away in buying plates of good or poorly dressed gents to head our advertising columns with, neither do we claim to be editors of an illustrated paper. What we are trying to do is to run our store as cheaply as pos sible and give our customers the benefit of what we can save in rent, clerk hire, cheap advertis' ing and buying goods for cash.

A Young Mans Dilemma.

A number of young men went bathing
in the Mohawk river at Schenectady on
Sunday. Objections had been made TO their
choosing so conspicuous place for SWIM
ming, but the objections we're ignored.
After getting into the water on the occasion,
Mr.. Van Voast swooped down upon vari-
Gus wearing apparel, and took it to police
hee iauarters. One tall young man was
more unfortunate than his companions, for
all of his articles of clothing were taken,
with the exception of paper collar and q
pair of shoes. The others had lost their
pants, and some of them had been relieved
OF a shirt, but the tall young man was in a
distressing dilemma. His companions
donned whatever garments they had and
departed for home in their exceedingly
unique toilet. The tall young man set his
wits to work. He secured a -four barrel,
broke the head out and got in. A paper
collar, pair of shoes and the barrel con-
stituted his suit. In this manner he SUNK
toward home, hiding In the fields whenever
he heard the noise OF an approaching
wagon. The acme Of his distressing pre-
dicament did not arrive, however, until
his unique appearance attracted the atten-
ton of several dogs. The CANNES barked
aud snapped at his heels, rendering pedes-
trianism nything put pleasant TO the &C.
cupant of the wooden suit. The tall young
man, however, trudged along, now and
then making an awkward gesture with his
legs at the CANNES who were bowling and
swapping at his shanks. He finally reached
home and went through the back door.
The plan of breaking up Sunday bathing
by Mr.. Van Voast will be successful, IL IS
b-lieved.-[T Troy Press.
