A FRATERNAL VISIT.

Tuesday night, December 12, nearly 20 members of Pohtatuck grange of New town were guests of Housatonie grange of Stratford and the occasion was evi- dently one of decided pleasure to all con cerned. Owing to changes i'll trains on the Housatonic road some difficulty was experienced in reaching here and several members chartered a large wagon and labeled it "Berkshire division N. Y. and N. H. R. R., tri-weekly," and proceeded to Stratford. After supper, which on- ly the farmers wives and daughters know how to prepare, an address of welcome was given by F. E. Blakeman, which was responded to by z. s. Peck. Then fol- lowed a particularly interesting literary program under direction of Mrs E. l.. Johnson, worthy lecturer of Pohtatuck grange, consisting of readings, recita- tions, essays and charades, all of which were rendered with conspicuous ability. The visitors were entertained for the night by members of Housatonic grange who sincerely hope this will not be the last visit from people of Newtown.
 STREET RAILWAY EXTENSION.
 The horse railroad company will pre- sent petition to the next Legislature for an addition to their charter, giving them the right to double track their road and extend it to and over Washington bridge, to Paradise Glen and from Avon park through South avenue and up Main to Stratford avenue to join the present layout at the corner. They should have what they ask for, provided they agree to lay the proposed tracks within reas- enable time. The extension to Paradise Green of course, cannot be made until the Consolidated road change the grade crossing at Main street, but the others | asked for, can be put down to the advan- | tage of both the company and the towns people right away. A double track will be less obstruction to travel than the present system of turnouts. No doubt but what electricity will be the motive power some time during the coming year. FOR GOOD ROADS.
