 THE FAME OF GOSHEN CHEEsEs.
 The Waterbury American says: Anon the passengers on the Saturday evenin train was James B. Newcomb. He ha been visiting his son and wife, Mr. ant Mrs. Edward Newcomb of New Haven ,an, like all other visitors to that place had bee to East Rock, just as in former days ever one went down to Long wharf. The ad vance in engineering skill has taken a much from the wonder of the latter as has added to the former, the wharf of tn present day being small affair compare with the wharf of the days when MT: New comb first saw New Haven. He was the a resident of Goshen, whose cool plateau furnished the famous cheeses that grace the tropical dining tables of the West II

 (often six or eight went together) we, , loaded the night before starting and, wit oats for the horses, an early breakfast an steady driving, evening would find thel at Darling's or Clark's tavern, about fiv miles out of New Haven. The next da gave time enough to drive down to tt wharf, unload the cheesees, load up eigl
 barrels of flour or hogshead of molasse

 gates to be passed at ninepence Q gat
 The time and money made quite an e.
 pense, but you see the cheeses were wort
 it.
