 Representative Hall has introduced a bill in the legislature providing that our depot be called "West Willington" instead of Holland. It strikes us that the fairest and most sensible measure would be an act, general in It's character, obligating all railroads in the state, express companies, etc., to name the stations after the tOao7os in which they are locatee. For instance, the station next north of us is Stafford" |" not Stafford Springs. Old WillingtOn as a t0lcn is not quite yet back number. Now the esteemed member is the repre- sentative from Wilmington, not from Moose Meadow, nor East Willington, nor West Willington, nor even South Wilmington. Of course, the name of the flag station at South Wilmington is all right.

 Recently two ladies in this vicinity, with the best intentions, went to call on highly respected, elderly invalid, bear ing as neighborly gifts small bottle of wine and box of honey. The next day these articles were returned with the fol- lowing note from the person who has charge of the invalid. As scurrilous let ter writing has become an epidemical sin in some quarters, it would seem that the way to kill it out is by making the com munication public, which we do in this in- stance by request. We suppress names this time: -, Feb. 16th, ,95.
