"How s your bait Where's your fish s'' M. J. Daly, of Waterbury, six footer tried to curl up in seat, but he was too long to curl.-Naugatuck Review l w. E. Walcott, the fish dealer arrived home this morning, having left Boston Monday. He had a rough experience be- tween Boston and Willimantic, having been twenty y-seven hours without food. l Only the distance between four tele- graph poles, in the rock cut this side of Bristol remained to be cleared on the New England road yesterday, and it was ex- night. The rocks are at least twenty feet in height, and to throw out the snow, three tiers of shovelers are employed. The work is necessarily slow.
 Postmaster Commerford has received a telegram from s. K. Montgomery, post master at Bristol, stating that the Water bury mail from Hartford and Boston has been sent by team to Thomaston, and will arrive here via the Naugatuck road to-
 day.

 train, from Thomaston, having been trans- ported from Bristol by overland stage Postmaster Commerford and his corps
 of obliging clerks have done all in their power to secure the passage of the mails, and have answered the thousands of
 questions-many of them nonsensical-put to them by an anxious public, without
 losing their tempers once.
