 WEST WELLINGTON, NOT HOLLAND" Now.-We have labored for some years, in our way, to have the name of the rail road station in Willington properly changed. Through the agency of Repre- sentative Hall at this session of the legis- lature the thing has been done. The rail- road has till next January to take down the new "Tolland" sign on our passenger station, and in it's stead place thereon West Willington; ;" also to alter it's time tables, way bills, &c. The express and telegraph folks must also conform to this just and proper change. The con- ductors of the passenger trains might be- gin to practice right away. All these years they ought to have sung out "Tol- land and Willington," the legal name of the station, but they wouldn't sing out 8 note beyond "Tolland."

The one at the Congregational church here on Monday evening was not as well attended as ii would have been had the notice beer more extended.
