it was fitting sign of the depth and extent Of the
general sorrow.
New-York may have been a bit slow to put on

 4 number of prominent citizens i'll Watertown were discussing the new ly organized Woodbury Translst cor poration last evening and what con nection or importance it might nave with the town of Watertown. It IS understood that the citizens of Wood- bury wish to have the new line con meet with Watertown in the spring, and q large portion of the passenger traffic from Woodbury to Waterbury passes through Watertown. The principal stage line to Waterbury pass es through here twice each day. Wood- bury is about five miles from the near est railroad station, which is the Pom peraug Valley station, in the village of. Southbury, on the line of the High land division. Heretofore all com munication by public conveyance has been by the old time stage line, mak- ing two or three trips daily. In addl- ton to Woodbury, the village of Hotch- kissville is also served by the same line. and its people depend on PomDer- aug Valley station for railroad facili- ties. The progressive business men of Woodbury decided that it was time to break loose from old style methods of transportation and from stage coach days. and. as they could not bring the railroad 10 them, to furnish rapid means of conveyance between their 1 Then. again, the prospective trolley l line to connect Watertown with Wood bury was q disappointment, and this later idea is looked upon as furnishing ways and means out of the difficulty. The new stage route would be able to drop passengers off at the local depot and in the spring at the local end of the trolley line. It is said that Wood bury people will oppose any movement on the part of the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co to extend lines to that town.
