BRANcHvILLE.

TRACK.
 A large boulder rolled onto the rail- road track at what is known as Couch's Cut, just above Branchville, last week Tuesday morning, about II o'clock, delaying the local passenger train south, which reaches Branch vile a little after noon, nearly two hours. The man who watches the cut discovered it in time to stop the train. The rock, it is estimated, weighed about seven tons. Section Boss Pat rick German with his force of men broke the rock into pieces they could handle with huge sledge hammers, ,and after about two hours delay had the track clear for travel.

DANBuRY BOYS SHOW WHITE FEATHER.

The management of the Bethel base ball team are wondering If Stephen Moore, manager of the "Invincible" baseball team of Danbury, is still on earth. The challenge sent by the Bethel boys to the "Invincible" three or four weeks ago for game for the benefit of the Danbury hospital on their own grounds has not yet been heard from and the only conclusion the Bethel boys can come to is that laufels and in other words are quit ters. It would seem as if they would have the courtesy to at least answer such challenge for so good cause, but 1t Is very evident that they are badly scared this time.
