 In reading the discussion regarding the change of the name Canaan, we re. call fact that may be worthy of men, tion. A number of persons, land if counted the number would not be smalr have at different times while travelling north on tho Housstonic R R got of at Kent by mistake for Canaan. The names Kent and Canaan do not seem to sound alike, but when sung out by the brakeman, there must be a similarity, as strangers unacquaipted with the road hare misunderstood the call, and hare got left-and the delay was very an- moving, in losing connections with the other railroad and sometimes being obliged to remain in Kent over night. Others have been prevented leaving the train by the conductor, or found their mistake in time to jump on again. Now would not a change in the name of Ca- nasn tor Kent benefit the travelling public? or course We cannot expect ever to be Great Reat; but when Canaan be- comes Grand or Great, passengers trav- cling to that destination will not get confused and leave the train when the brakemen call out Kent.

Don't Call It Great Canaan.

Friend Beckley:
 So you are not satisfied with Canaan, but want to make Great Canaan of it. I agree with you that the Cauaans are somewhat mixed. If (South) Canaan would only take the name of South Canaan in conformity with its post office and let your village be Canaan. as is your postoffice and railroad station, 1t would minimize the confusion and leave no cause for complaint, but don't SUD- pose they would do it, How would it do to call your town Lawrence, after its first settler; or Frar kiln. after the sec ond settler? Call it Wangum. Brum- foxit. Sedgwick, Lawrence or Franklin. but for the love of Mary Ann don't call it Great Canaan.
 Yours respectfully.

AND STILL THEY COME.
The SagEestions of a New Name for
 the Village of Canaan.

nc S0EKesnOms Oi NeW Namc TUT
 the Village of Canaan.
 It is astonishing that nine-tenths of the people evidently think the proposi. ton is to change the name of the toarn of North Canaan. No such proposition has ever been made by the NEWS. The proposition is to change the name of the rilage of Canaan. If the name of the toacm of North Canaan was changed it would only increase the existing con fusion. Let any person attempt to search the records of this town North Oanaan) and he will discover he cannot look into the past more than 36 years without going to Falls Village. where all the records previous to the year 1858 arc now kept. In the year 1858 the original town of Canaan was divided into two towns, and the north part of the original town adopted the name of North Canaan while the south part of the original town retained the name of Canaan, and also retained all the town recordA The new town of North Ca naan had to commence housekeeping for itself, and open new set of books and begin it's record. Now if the to,cn of North Canaan should change its name the confusion of records would be worse than it is today. No, we do not want the name of the town of North Canaan changed, but for reasons that have already been stated in these col umns we do want the name of the ra lags of Canaan changed.
 Elsewhere we publish today several letters in regard to changing the name of the riaage of Canaan. J. G. o. writes . witty letter and enumerates the advantages and disadvantages of giving the name Jerusalem to the vil- lage of Canaan TIE NEWS has already stated it wanted . name for this village that was not duplicated in the United States, hence it prefers either Great Canaan or Grand Canaan to Jerusalem.
 s. O. Cummings writes letter and offers suggestions, some of which arc practical and some are not. He closes by saying 'sbut for the love of Mary Ann don't call it Great Canaan" We do not know what Mary Ann he is in love with, nor what Mary Ann is in love with him, consequently we are un- able to estimate his protest against the name, Great Canaan.
 W. J. T. makes some good points in his letter. We forbear making any comments on it, and it is needless for us to repeat our reasons why we pro- posed the name, Great Canaan.
 Our Kent correspondent gives good reason why either the name of the viii lage of Canaan or the name of the vii lAge of Kent should be changed.
 Our East Canaan correspondent makes witty remarks on the subject of changing the name of the village of Canaan. His last remark is both witty and weighty.
 1t has been suggested that the name of the village be changed from Canaan to Pilgrim. Pilgrim is good name, but already five postofices in the Uni ted States are named Pilgrim.
 A resident of the village of Canaan says: "Whether the name of the will lage of Canaan is changed or not, ] suggest that the name of Railroad street be changed to Suckerville. THF NEWS raises no objection against such an appropriate suggestion.
