 There wac time, not in the very hay distance, when one thought of bidding farewell to his friends before starting out to drive over the road from the Hill to Mansfield Four Corners. But now (some credit being due, we fancy, to Chas. H. Davis) the road makes one of the best drives in town. By the way, the drive all the way from Wilmington Hill, via Storrs and Eagleville to South Coventry excepting the narrow and pokerish rail- road crossing at the latter place, is fine and picturesque. The ten-mile trip thith- CT seems no longer, as to time, than the present drive to Stafford Springs. But good roads make all the difference in the world, you know-perhaps.
