We wish to call especial attention to the advantages now offered by trains Nos and 15, which commenced runn- ing on the Hartford & Connecticut Western Railroad June 3d. It is now possible to go from Canaan, or any sta tion east of there on the H. x 0. w. road, to Boston or Providence and return the same day. By the new arrangement between the New England road, the Fl. & O. w. road, and the Housatonic road, passengers can leave Boston at 800 p. m. and Providence at 8.30 p. m., and reach Canaan at 8. 40 p. m., Millerton at 9.25 p. m., or reach Ct Burlington at 8.5S p. m. and Pitts field at 10.05 p. m. ....... -...
 The last train north on the Housa- tonic road, according to the timetable in effect April 25, leaves Canaan at S.33, but we would state that since that time table was printed orders have been issued to have said train wait at Canaan until the arrival of train No. 15 on the H. $ 0. w. road. The next time- table issued by the Housatonic road will show the connection.

Children's day was duly observed at the M. E. church here. The weather was all that could be asked, and the children, dressed in holiday attire, pre- sented pleasant group. A large num- Der were in attendance. The church was tastefully decorated with all kinds of flowers attainable at this season of the year. Cages containing sweet songsters were suspended in various parts of the church, speaking and sing ing by the children was an unbounded success. The remarks by the pastor were highly appreciated by all. The interest taken by the ladies in the decorations was highly worthy of notice, showing that great interest is taken by them to make Children's day 8 pleasant feature. .. Miss Olive Williams, oi Hillsdale, N. Y, has charge of the teIe. graph office, giving good satisfaction. Miss Katie Callan goes to Canaan. Miss Annie Gibbs, of Kent, visited friends here over Sunday.

erected fine cottage last season in a beautiful grove overlooking the lake. 0. K. Hunt has purchased Pine Knoll, down the Lakeside drive, and is build ing handsome cottage which will soon be ready for use.
 A few days since the writer was in West Winsted and accepted Editor Vails kind invitation for drive over the boulevard, and most delightful ride it was. Editor Vaill held the ribbons over his trotter and when the boulevard was reached "away we all flew like the down on the thistle" MT Vaill pointed out the views and objects of interest and gave us history of the boulevard. The writer spent nearly two years in travelling through Berk- shire, Litchfeld, Dutchess and Colum- bia counties, visited nearly every will age and hamlet in said counties, in fact visited number of the large places many times, and he can truly say w IuSlcu eCllpSeS tuem itll IOI uhGuIul advantages as summer resort. When the Wakefield boulevard is completed we doubt if there will be finer drive in New England. The key to the whole situation is found in the fact that the H. & O. ". and the Naugatuck rail roads land city people within few rods of the lake. Talk about Lenox as summer resort had the Wakefield boulevard been built 20 years age Lenox to-day would be sitting in sack cloth and ashes, while Winsted would be exalted. Lenox is several miles from railroad, and is 161 miles from New York, 157 from Boston, 87 from Hart ford. Winsted is on the direct line o1 two railroads, and is only IF miles from New York, 154 from Boston, 36 from Hartford. Had the Wakefield boule- yard been built 20 years ago the mighty works that have been done in Lenoy would have been done at Winsted instead of at Lenox.
