This shows a healthy state of mind, and an
evident determination on the part of the
people to make this project a success. ‘In
view of the advantages of Rail Roads to
communities, and, the decided increase of
the value of real estate wherever they have
been established,— the necessity for such
advantages, and such increase in Westport,
it is earnestly hoped that no pains will be
spared,——no stone left unturned,—no doubt-
ful pcrson(who may not yet have taken a few
hundreds) be allowed to rest in peace until
this workshall have been placed on a se-
cure footing. This road once built, and we
see no reason why it should not be, we be-
lieve the business of Westport will increase

The first reception» of the “ Fat Man‘s Ac-

held at Irving Hall, New York, on Thurs-
day evening, Feb. 24th, 1870. Great prepa-
rations, il the way of music and decora-
tions,are in progress, and the affair is ex-
pected to be very grand, echpSing anything
of the sort which has heretofore happened-
IMusic for the occasion is to be furnished by
Wallace’s Band. Fatmen of Westport and
Norwalk, make ready your toilets; read
carefully the circular issued by the Secrets;
ry of the Society, B. W. Maples, and govern
_ yourselves accordingly.
The first of a course of lectures in West-
port, was delivered in the Congregational
Church, on Friday evening last by Mr. Dur—
_yca, before an audience of some 300 persons
and is reported to have been very interest-
.ing in character. '
It may not be generally known, but the
fields in the region around about WeStport
are filled with game, and furnish abiding
places'for animals of many sorts, promi-
nent among whichjmay be mentioned fox-
es. Allunt for these is a treat seldom en-
joyed. Lately an opportunity for indul-
gence ofl‘cred itself. (We blush to acknowl—
edge it to have been on Slinday) and it was
amusing to witness the strife made by ccr-.
tain citizens to arrive first at the scene ofac-
tion, so soon as the bencdictions at their va-
rious churches had been pronounced. All
on the ground, the hunt Went on. Success
crowned their efforts. A fox was captured.
Night came on, and in response to the
sweet tones of church bells calling to even-
ing devotion, these Sunday sportsmen again
occupied their seats as if nothing had hap-
pened. All sorts of reports concerning this
dastardly affair have been in circulation,
and the question has been, asked who the
persons were who had thus gone forth from
the beaten track of their Sabbath-observ-
ing ancestors.
Winter is advancing with rapid .strides,
and in a week or two we can entfi- upon the
first smiles of Spring. Until within the
past few days furs and overcoats have
scarcely been a necessity. ' Indeed, so open
has been the weather that in many
places buds have started, and vegetation
begun its work. A gentleman from New
Haven assures us, that one of his neighbors
had succeeded in procuring a dinner of
'“ greens,” grown in the dead of winter.
From Wallingford we learn of grasshop-
pers and butterflies coming forth, evidently
ithinking that Spring had arrived. Mean-
itimc the ice-mongers have looked sorrowful
not at the thought that their occupation had
gone, but that it never might come. Lovers
of ice cream have been .seen wandering
about with sad countenances, bewailing the
straights to which they might possibly be
driven. To all sth we say, do not despair.
The old adage f‘. while there’s life there’s
hope,” may yet prove true. Remember that
our coldest weather and best slei g in
1869, was after March lst. Have patience
and take courage.
On Sunday, as Warner Ogden was get-
ting upon s hay mow, the ladder gave way
precipitating him to the floor, breaking his
leg below the hue. This is the third time
Mr. Ogden has met with a similar accident.
The new cornice added to the Bank Build-

AN EXCHANGE or LETTERS—The Au-
burn, N. Y., Advertiser says that a party '
left a neighboring village to spend New
Year's at Truxton. The next day one of
the ladies wrote to her husband about some
household matters, and was surprised to re-
ceive a letter beginning “ Sweetest Maggie,"
which had evidentl been exchanged for
the one he designs her to have, as her
name wasn’t Maggie. The letter continued:
1“ As Mrs. M. has gone to Truxton to spend
the New Year, be sure and come to dinner
to morrow. I have a sweet little chicken,
just like your own self, and a fat turkey.
We shal have dinner precisely at three
o’clock. The children are from home.
What a cosy time we’ll have. We shall be
all alone in solitary grandeur over the tur-
key; after which well have a jolly time. 0,
how I wish my old woman would oftener
take these holiday jaunts.” MrsM. return-
ed home in time for that dinner, and there
was a scene.

THE ROAD—THE NEW HAVEN, MIDDLETOWN

is the FINAL LINK in the
GRAND AIR LINE ROUTE
BETWEEN BOSTON AND NEW YORK.
The line will be 58 miles in length, runnintz be-
tween New an0n and Willimantic. passing thro‘l'lfh
Middleton. about mldwayflud wll connect th
the New York and New even Road at its western
terminus, and with the Boston, Hartford and Brie
Road at its eastern terminus—thus forming the
SHORTEST AND MOST DIRECT ROUTE Br.-
, TWEEN THE TWO CHIEF
Commercial and Financial Cities of
America.
In the minds of Railroad men, this route is the
natural line between the two Metropolitan Cltles,be—
ing as near a straight line as the formation of the
country will admit: is over 20 miles shorter than the
present most popular route, and over 15 miles shorter
than any other possible route.
The two lines of rallroad between New Haven and
Boston, via Springfield on the one side, and vieShore
Line, thrdn b New London, on the other are lines
traverslntr t e outer edges of a square which the New
Irma, Middletow n and Wil'llmantic Railroad will
cut diagonally. The position 'of each road is shown

all; seems hardlyv'necessary to call attention to the
business of a road of such vast importance, having
connections with so many roads that are to become
feeders to it. At New Haven it will connect with
four lines : at Middletown with one, and at Willlman-
tic with three while others are being projected. '
In regard to the thro h trade, a single glance at
the map is more conviuc ng than any argument can.
, as to the important fact that this route beta the
ortest, and Ital-ding so great a saving in t e,
must ultimately be the chic thoroughfare between
Boston and New York.
CHARACTER AND PROGRESS OF THE WORK.
The Bond is built under the immediate supervision
of the ofilcers of the Company, who are most deeva
interested in its success, and who design it to be the
most thorough, substantial, and the safest road in
the United S ates. They have called to their aid the
highest engineering skill in the country td'dlrect the
work, and no pains or expense will be spared to bring
it to perfection. The grades are very ens , the curves
are large, the bridges of wrought iron, t c rails se-
lected with care and of the best quality. and all
adapted to durability and speed. The filing is
nearly finished between New Haven and M dd.:etown,
the bridges are completed and being placed to: posi-
tion, the rails-are bein laid at the rate of HALF A
MILE PER DAY. whic will enable the Company to
use this portron of their line for business ear y in the

THE BONDS are Coupon and Re istered, and are
issued in denominations-of 8500 an 81,000. They
have 20 years to run, and are payable, rincipal and
interest, in New York. By an act of t e Legislature
of the State of Connecticut, the are made exam I:

of these Bonds by the terms of the Mortgtige, which
provides that if Company, at any time, efaults in

The Mortgage is made to the Treasurer of the State
of Connect cu and his successors in office. in trust
for the Bondho dere, which is a mntee ofthe good
faith of the Com any, and a p edge that the inves-
tors’ interests wl never suffer from any want of Ita-
blllty in the holder of their Mortgage. .
A HOME INVESTMENT.
It is unnecessary to remind the public that a HOME
ENTERPRISE, carried on in their own State. where
III the facts in regard to it are fully known, is more
worthy of attention than schemes for railroad build-
ing or other rojects in remote parts of the country,
w ich invite cans It enormous rates of interest. The
Munugers of this Company are well known Connec-
ticut men, and the road itself is a most important
work of internal development, in which every citizen
of the State must take ajust pride.
TAXES.
The exem tion of the First Mortgage Bonds from
all taxes wh ch maybe laid within the State is a fea-
ture which causes them to rank with the issues of
the United States, while the additional exemption
from United States Income Tax places them above
any other investment in the market, and must com-
mand them to all persons seeking rofitable invest-
ments. It will be borne in min t at the State and
Taxes in Connecticut ran e from 15‘ to 2x,
