Many indoor gardeners fail to have healthy
looking plants because the temperature of their
room is too warm. The best temperature for
room plants is about $50 at night which may be
increased by 100 or 15o during the day. The best
aspect for plants in rooms is east southeast
soath or southwest; never north, if it can posi-
bly, be helped. 1t is necessary, once in eight or
ten days. to turn the plants that each gets a
share of light. else the plants will grow one
sided If plants drop their leaves, or leaves be-
come yellow, it is usually from one or two
scauses-either that the soil is too wet too
dry; either will destroy the small rootlets and
be indicated by the condition and color of the
leaves There is usually more injury done from
the plants being too wet than too dry.

Miss Carrie Sturges received @ num- Der of valuable presents on Saturday last, she being eight years old. Among the rest was an oil painting from Miss Jennie Bierce, it being her own work. Miss Jennie bids fair to rank we'll with artists as her works show.
 The bridge crossing the furnace brook which has been in an unsafe condition for some time, was newly timbered and planked last Saturday, Joseph Whitney, William Dean and Mir Potter doing the work. Our efficient selectmen mean to place things in 8 safe condition for the travelling public.

 The beautiful past season has been profitable to the farmers, of which this vicinity is mostly composed, and may those who have an extra abundance of everything to make them happy and comfortable not forget their neigbbors who are less fortunate.
 A petition was circulated here last week by the hotel keeper at West Corn wall, asking his appointment as town agent to sell liquors This seems rather bold, as the "against license" voters, at the town meeting, held he was not a competent person to sell with license, as the law has been frequently violated by him when license was granted to him, and once he was arrested and paid quite large sum to be liberated for uo- lation of the law. If town agent is required, cannot the selectmen find 8 suitable person, one who will live under the law without being watched? But as this is the third year without license are we in want of liquor shop run by the town? if so, let them guard well who is appointed. A majority compose1 of the most influential and heaviest tax payers rightfully say we need no rum shops run by the town or by unprinc:- palled license holders. FACTS.

Change of Time.

At this writing Tuesday noon) the new time table, in effect October 19 on the H. tS c. W. railroad, has not been received at thls station. We mention what information we have obtained from semi-oficial sources and in our next is- sue will record the exact time of arrival and departure of trains at Canaan.
 Mixed train will leave here at A. M. for Rhinebeck, and returns same day, arriving here at 6.45 P. NJ. Passenger train from Millerton for Hartford con- meets at Canaan with Housatonic train at 9.31 A. M. Passenger train from Hart ford for Millerton connects at Canaan with Housatonic train at 12.30 P. M. and on it's return to Hartford connects at Canaan with Housatonic train at 3 P. NJ. Passenger train from Hartford for Mil lerton connects at Canaan with Housa- tonic train at 6.10 P. M. The milk train will probably run on about its present time, going to Millerton, however, in- stead of Boston Corners, and some think it will arrive from the east at P. NJ, in time to connect with the Housatonic train south. Mixed train from Hartford arrives here at 11.15 A. M and returns at noon. There Is also an extra morning freight from the east, returning some time during the afternoon. Freight train from Rhinebeck arrives here about 10 A. M. and returns about noon.
 The new superintendent, MT Edwin McNeill, the board of directors or the entire management, jointly and several ly, receive the thanks of the travelling public for the accommodation afforded by the new time table and all unite in hoping the railroad company's treasury will be filled to overfowing as 8 result of the change. The spirit now mani fested of accommodating the public is appreciated and the road will gain many friends who will be glad to lend help ing hand and will rejoice to see it pros- per,
