The recent order of the superintend- ent of the N. Y. & N E. R. R. in taking off the morning and evening train passing through here, will give the "I told you 70" croakers ehange to free their minds now, as under the new arrangement it will be impossible for any one to go any where from here on the cars and return the same day. Nearly all the business of this town which needs to be done in city is done in Hartford, and nearly all their time ta- bles have been made in such way that one could not reach there or return with out waiting for an hour and half at Mel rose When under ths eontrol of the Qopn. Central R. R. 60. the ticket sales were much larger, as they tried to accom- modate, but the new management have applied their idea of accommodating nc one, and we are now taking the conse. quences as well as they. This town put $35, ,ooO into the road, but that is utterly
 ignored, and now as far as passengers are concerned we should be as well with nc road.

The world is little place after all.
That the False Prophet should regulate
the price Of candy IN Boston would un
doubtedly seem as improbable as that
the Khan Of Tartary should bull the
stock market, or tho Emperor If China
determine the price Of shoes at Lynn -
Yet such is the fact This curious cir
cumstance happens thus; The basis of
much confectionery, notably gum drops
and marsh-mallow, is gum arabic Now
the market for gum arabic is Khartoum,
for the worlds gum arabic comes from
the Soudan. Taken on burges to Cairo
at the Fall frcshcts in bales Of 500
pounds, it is shipped to London. Paris,
Marseilles and New York, to the aggrc-
gates of $4,000 bales. III Mahdi has
raised the invoice price from eight to
twenty cents per pound, and the price
is rising. There is no crop last year.
There threatens to be none this Egypt
certainly cannot well send for what little
has been stored There is, therefore,
every reason to suppose that gum will
reach fifty cents shortly, and fortunes
will doubtless be made by the wary -
The possible gain consists in the fact
that small purchasers of candy, of limit
ed means, may be discouraged by the
large advance in price. 1.-THE False
Prophet can thus lessen Indigestion
among our oherubs at this Joyous season
9 providential reason for his turbulent
and bloody career is discovered.
