They are also build ing two hay cars for the safe transportation of hay. They will be tight and hold ten tons of pressed hay. Ffty flat cars are also being constructed.— Berkshire Courier. We should judge by the result of a trial of the petition by parties in Washington for a highway from the Shepaug depot in that place to the head of Wauramaug Lake, that there was no reasonable prospect for the completion of the Aspetuck road, running from New Preston to New Milford. Those who objected to laying out the lower part of the highway said there was a reasonable prospect of the completion of the Aspetuck railroad, but the friends of a through route to the lake, proved to the satisfaction of the committee before whom the petition was brought, that there was no such prospect. They may go on with their highway, but just as sure as those Washingtonians are un commonly thickheaded is the building of the Aspetuck road. The Race Tuesday.

The News says that in the crusade against the Mormons, the Government and people are to be sincerely pitied.

The president stated that as the list now numbered over one thousand names it would be the business of the meet ing to fix upon a day on which the proces sion should take place, and to make all ar i angeinents necessary. The pledge was ci culated as usual while the president was speaking, and twenty-seven names were ad ded to the list, making one thousand and thirty-two in all.

After Mr. A-ddis had finished his remarks the pres ident took the stand and stated to the meet ing that it would be necessary to appoint a day on which the procession should taite place.
