While fishing through
the ice on the Waterloo pond one day last week, Lewis Hurd, night watchman
at the Waterloo depot, caught three pickerel weighing respectively 6
1/4, 5 1/2 and 4 3/4 pounds. Mr. Hurd is entitled to the belt. This
pond was stocked with black bass by the State five years ago, and is
probably one of the best fishing ponds in the state.

(Andover Section)
The Lehigh &
Hudson River have reached this place at last with their rails. The company
will lay track no further at the present, but go back and ballast up.
They can go no further in fact at the present time on account of the
fill in the Iliff pond. They have had quite a force of men working there
all winter, gaining on it rapidly for two or three weeks, and then,
in a single night, all they have done in that time will disappear. The
line has been changed once about thirty feet nearer the shore than in
the first place, but it seems to make no difference, it disappears all
the same.

There was a large
crowd at the crossing of the L.& H. R. R. and S. R. R. on Sunday
to witness the placing of the frog in position. The L. & H. R. will
make lively time for Andover after the first of May, as they intend
to make this their headquarters from that time until the road is in
running order all the way through. We heard one of the head men say
that there would be a hundred men that would want board, and we have
no doubt of it.

Let the urchin's
heart leap with joy. A circus is coming beyond all peradventure, and,
just as sure as Saturday, the 29th, is in the calendar, Nathans &
Co.'s railroad circus will exhibit in Newton.

The new depots
along the line of the L. & H. R. railroad are being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. The timber has been mostly distributed at the
different points where depots are to be located, and carpenters are
engaged in putting up the structures. The depot, at the juncture of
this road and the N. Y. S. & W. R. R. , at Hamburg, is about completed,
and a roadway has been built by the people of Hamburg from the public
highway to the depot, and fenced with barbed wire. The depot at Howell's
Pond, in Andover township, has been completed, but by mistake of the
workmen was erected down in the field. It will be removed to a point
near the public road. It is now reported that a new timetable will be
issued next week, and several trains will be running through from Belvidere
to Newburgh the present month.
