 AM ENDE, Hobokken druggist, recent ly made mistake he cannot make Am Ende for, as it cost patron his life. MT. Am Ende was considered particularly painstaking man in his profession, yet he put up morphine for quinine although the bottles were plainly marked, kept far apart, and the word ''poison" prominent upon the morphine bottle. His carless- ness was caused by his being engaged in warm discussion with store loungers while putting up the madeleine. The case seems to have excited people all over the country, as if they had discovered a new peril. The occurrence may, as it should do, increase the care with which druggists fill their or ders for articles supposed to be for inter- nal Improvement.
 THE Stafford and Rockville fairs occur on the same week; the latter on Wednes- day and Thursday, 7th and 9th, and the former on Thursday and Friday, 8th and 9th. But for the disincllnation of Stafford to conflict with the Ellington and Somers society, which had before selected the 7th as the day for the fair at Broad Brook, the dates of the two larger societies would have been the same. The Stafford people when selecting their dates supposed that the Rockville fair was to be held in Sep tember, as at first advertised, and after learning of the change of time, were un- able to change to conform, as their fair was already advertised in connection with the Eastern Connecticut Trotting Circuit. Therefore the two fairs will each have one day to itself, the closing day at Rockville being the opening day at Stafford Springs.
 THE low prices at which manufacturing property is sold, when located away from the railroads, naturally draws attention to the unwillingness of manufacturers to To. cate even on the best privileges, away from steam communication. The insurance com panies and the savings banks, quick to note this feeling, are constantly contracting the amount of risks held upon such property so located. Between Southbridge anc Stafford Springs are fine privileges, some occupied, others not. Vast expenditures have been made for mills and machinery avpo,,ditI,rae ,1,,o,, xvbiol b,,t o email ,,or centage of cost could be realized if sold Naturally the holders of these properties often turn their thoughts to the possibility of line of railroad between these points running along the intervening vallies an6 at either end connecting with well equip ped freight and passenger road. Such { road would appreciate the property in the villages along its line to the full value o the stock required to ensure its building andlit only needs move, headed by some energetic person, to show this to be the case. The distance from Stafford Springs to Southbridge is about 23 miles, through the villages of Furnace Hollow, with one of the finest mills in this section, and also the site of lately burned one, Stafford vile, with woolen mills and machine shop Wales, Fiskdale and Sturbridge, all i'm portant manufacturing places, and all dis tant from railroads. Once built the line would by its own momentum be carried on to Rockville, giving the shortest existing railway route between Hartford and Bos ton, or between Boston and New York It only requires little energy to put the ball in motion.
 THE first race between the Puritan anc the Genesta set for last Monday was no finished owing to late start and lack o wind. The Puritan led so far as it was race, and the boats came in to try agai1 next day. The start was from near Sandy Hook, the vicinity of which was crowded with craft as never before.
 A second fruitless attempt to sail tht first of the international yacht races wal made Tuesday. It resulted in the Puritan and Genesta fouling each other before tn, line had been crossed, the tearing of tn. American boats mainsail and the loss O the English boats bowsprit. The Puritan was pronounced to blame for the accident but Sir Richard Sutton refused to sail ove the course and take the race. There wa narrow escape from serious acciden and loss of life. As it is the yachts vii be at the line in racing trim on Friday and both England and America hope the, will have stiff breeze and a fair field The action of Sir Richard in refusing t, claim the race was appreciated by MT Forbes, and there is no i'll feeling in th' matter. ;.
