direct connection with the mort h>west

This town voted the tax in few
weeks after the proposition was sub

and town Of Columbia, south of us also
voted the tax. Our board now has all

Of signatures of the Tax Payers of this
Parish (Ouachita,) to order an election
tion to take S'vote on the question.
These will ID obtained soon after the
holidays are over and the movement
will be pressed forward. A very graf.
flying feature, is the fact that favorable
sentiment is supplanting the opposi-
ton at Arst encountered.
We entertain but little doubts of
Anal success. Some indifference, is
based upon the belief, that, as no COM

out the object it is doubtful if any will do

expect any company to take hold un-

greatly facilitate our work for some

RaiIroad Notee.

The Shepaug railroad suffers severe, if not irreparable loss in the acceptance, by Super intendent Edwin McNeill, of the superintend- ency of the Connecticut Western railroad, last week. The Shepaug has been greatly improved under his management The most important bridges on the line nave been replaced in iron. The track has been greatly improved and partially relald with steel rails, and the road IS now Tn pet1ef condition than it has ever before been. This has been done without mourning debt, and has given bondholders assurance that the road is not being ''skinned" in the interest of those holding the stock. We think that the Connecticut Western company will ind that they have secured very able, com petent and efficient superintendent in MT. McNeill. ill.-Litchfeld Enquirer.
 The impression seems to have become general in New Britain that no new depot would be started this season, but Vice President Reed says that the work will bo commenced and vigorously pushed. Delay has arisen through want of power In the Arnold estate to make the necessary transfer The necessary formalities on it's part have now been performed and the matter will probably be finally settled tnls Week.
 MT. Waterbury, who takes MT. Shepard's s place as superintendent of the Air Line and Shore Line, has been railEoading thirty years: The past ten of these he has spent as agent of the Consolidated road at Belle dock. Be- fore he took that position he was superln- tendent of the Air Line, and it was he that finished the construction of that route on the east end.
 MT. Morgan, who leaves the freight agency at Hartford for that at Belle dock, is man of long experience and his appointment will prove a good one. He will be succeeded at Hartford by H. l.. Searle, freight agent 1n New Britain for some time past.
 The Hartford Courant says of MT. David sons taking charge of the Valley railroad as well as the Hartford division: NSueh di- vision of management is natural one for the Valley road in this city, and wise one, fol MT. Davidson, as practical railroad mana ger, has no superior in New England. He has maintained the Hartford division of the Consolidated road in such a manner tha many regard it as the best piece of railroad in the United States, and in all the details o management he is at home and successful Whatever is put under his management Il sure to be taken care of in the best possible mannern

An HIatorfc NIaraer.

The society of the Fourteenth Connecticut Volunteers, which dedicated last summer a massive and beautiful granite monument to mark it's position during the three days en- gagement at Gettysburg, has since purchased piece of land known as the Bliss place, on which it is about to erect 8 monument or marker.
 The capture and destruction of the Bliss dwelling and barn was the most noticeable deed by single regiment on all the fields swept over by Longstreet's charging col umns on the 3rd of July, 1863, and won fo1 the Fourteenth an unequivoeal place in his tory.

For the benefit of suffering humanity deem it only my duty to give this unsolicited testimony m favor of Swfft's Specific. My wife has been afict- ed with Eczema from infancy. We tried every known remedy, but to avail. She was also af- hicted with periodical nervous headache some times followed by intermittent fever so that her life became a burden to her. Finally l determined to try Swift's Specific She commenced seven weeks ago. After taking the first large bottle the disease seemed to increase the burning itching and inflammation became unbearable she, however, persevered in the use of the medicine; After tax ing the second bottle the inflammation began 10 subsde. After the third bottle the inflammation disappeared, and sore spots dried up and turned m white and scaly and finally she brushed them or m an impalpable white powder resembling pure salt She is now taking the sixth bottle; every appear, of the disease is gone, and her flesh is soft and white as child's. Her headaches have disappear ed and she enjoys the only good health she mas known in 40 years. No wonder she deems every bottle of s: $. S. is worth thousand times lts weight in gold.
 Any further information concerning her case will be cheerfuy given by herself at her residence, ls Mullett street or by me. F-4-E

 In this court yesterday morning the suit of John Alexander vs. Sarah A. Church, an action for $150 damages for fraud, was ar gued before Judge Deming on 8 demurrer. In 1883 Alexander did some work for Mrs. Church as sub-eontractor on a house in Or ange. He gave notice that he would put a lien on the property for services rendered. Mrs. Church afterward visited Alexander's lawyers, Arvine and Dow, and said there was nothing due him as sbe bad already accepted orders on Herman Streeter, the contractor, which would more than cover $125, which was the amount claimed. She showed the orders. It is alleged that about year after ward 1t transpired that the orders had been dated back at Mrs Church's request, beyond the time of serving the notice, and that at tLat ime Mrs. Church was owing money to
