Railroads in Connecticut.


Every important point in the State is accommodated with railroad facilities, better than any similar extent of country in the United States. Ninety towns out of 156 are reached by railroad; and others approximate. Probably no point in the State is more than ten miles from a railroad. COMMISSIONERS .- John Gould, Fairfield, 1 year; John S. Jewett, Sharon, 2 years; Henry Hammond, Killingly, 3 years.
