lnitll matter delivered by the cafrlCr. This step had 10 be taken, as much time has been lost owing to people not being home or not hearing the door bell. Ii is thought that With the in stallation of these boxes much time will be saved. making it possible to widen the scope of the present deliN- cry service. According to the notice these boxes must be installed within l , days from next Monday, or by March 9.
 Railroad as it is NOW.
 The Berlin to New Britain dinky while always being up to the minute on schedules is far behind the times when il comes to it's lighting system. The supply of pinch gas for the light ing of the cttrs never seems to last the week out and it is not nn uncom- mon sight to see a passenger coach lit by five or six railroad lanterns hung at different points about the coach. The conductor when collect ing tickets also carries a lantern so that he can see the ticket.
