The Amenia Union correspondent of the Amenia Times tells about smart squash vine as follows:
 The main and lateral branches meas ured two hundred and fifty eight feet. It came up about the lst of August in an onion bed, but did not commence running until the first week in Septem- Der. So the 258 feet of growth was made in forty-six days, or about five and one half feet day. The product was six ripe squsshes and many green ones.

 Last Saturday seemed to be an un- lucky day for hog engine No. 27 of the c. N. B. & w. road. About 3 a. m. an accident occurred near Norfolk where by the bumpers of two freight cars were smashed, the cars knocked around and travel obstructed about four hours so that wrecking train had to be sent out from Hartford to relieve the 3.3O 8. m. passenger train which had arrived at that point. The freight train then pro- ceeded to West Winsted where hog en- zine No. 27 got swinish again, jumped the rails at switch, tore up the track for about 100 feet and then buried itself in the sand up to the axles, within six feet of jumping-of place into Mad river. Traffic was again blockaded for several hours, or until track could be laid around the wreck.
