 From Canaan to D. 0.
 The New England Lime Company have shipped a considerable quantity of | lime to Washington, D. O. The D. c. folks could have purchased lime nearer home but the fame of Canaan lime has gone abroad and nothing else would satisfy them.

 Telephone pay stations are to be es- tablished in H. D. Humphreys and also John Thurloughs s drug store in the near future. This is in accordance with the recent decision of the Southern New England company to place telephone in every drug store in the state. A large proportion of the pay stations have for some time been located ill drug stores but by placing a phone i'll every one ill the state the company expects to mater ially increase it's revenue.
