 New Freight Route
 Beginning Tuesday, September lst, the freight which has been going via the Harlem river. goes to Campbell Hall and over the c. N. E. road to Hopewell Junction from which place the N. Y, N. Fl. & H. road takes it to its destina- tion. It is expected that the change will necessitate the steady employment of number of the now extra train crews. It is understood that all the ex- tra engineers on the western division have been notified to hold themselves in readiness for calls.
 Small Attendance.
 The annual religious meetings at the Canaan Camp grounds closed Sunday | and, as has been the case in recent years, the attendance was very small in com- parison with the crowds who Hooked 1 number of years ago. We are informed that the attendance this year was largely 1 local although there were some from a distance who came to be present at the meetings. A number of people from l Canaan went to the grounds to renew their acquaintance with pastors who were formerly located here or in this vi- entity.
 Canaan Won.
 On Thursday afternoon a base ball team, consisting of young men who are camping at Twin Lakes. came to town to try conclusions with the second team of Canaan. They did not play protes- sional ball but they provided fully as much amusement for the spectators as do the league players. Lester Dean and Vincent Fitzgerald composed the battery for the Canaan team. Deans strong left arm was ill good running order, hs had plenty of speed and he had the Lakeites completely puzzled Fitzgerald surprised the natives by his work behind the bat and with the stick. He'll be seen in league company later. '
 Gave Bogus Checks
 1 Several weeks ago a stranger giving the name of Bennett came to town and took number of subscriptions to va rious well-known publications. He did thriving business here and for time the subscribers received the publications but in many instances did not receive as many numbers as they paid for. It seems that the stranger was not lon the square" according to information from Great Burlington where he operated during April. The proprietor of the Hotel Miller in that place holds his check drawn on the Brattleboro, Vt, bank which was returned unpaid. He victimized libraries, printers, and every one else upon whom he could prevail to accept his checks. His present where abouts are unknown.
 To Move Crusher.
 The stone crusher, which has been located on East Main street for several months, is soon to be moved near the New England Lime Company's Peirce & Freeman branch in order that the crush ing may be done at the point where the stone is obtained, and thus do away with the drawing of stone, which is now necessary. The steam engine by which the crusher will be operated has already been moved to the new location, and is being repaired by W. ". Burghardt. The lime company will also use the crusher in connection with an experi- ment which they propose to make with their gas producer plant. In making this experiment a considerable quantity of finely crushed stone is to be used.
 Water is all Right.
 Inasmuch as there has been so much discussion of late, relative to the village water, Dr. F. H. Lee, in his capacity of town health officer, obtained two samples of the water, one from the reservoir and one from the faucet in his home, and forwarded the same to the laboratory of the State Board of Health at Middle town, Conn. The chemist who made the analysis has the following annota- ton at the bottom of the analysis: II believe the water is entirely satisfactory for drinking purposes and will not cause sickness as has been suggested. He further says that Ureglena.a a small, mum Der of which were found, is harmless and was not present, at the time the samples .were taken in numbers to produce any objectionable odor or taste The substance of the matter is that while an unpleasant ordor and taste has been imparted to the water by vegetable growth in the reservoir, the water is not ill the least injurious to health.
