Ridgeport! Change cars for the B Naugatuck Railroad! Shouted the conductor of the New York and Boston Ex press Train, on the evening of May 27, 1858. Mr. Johnson, carpet-bag in hand, jumped upon the platform, entered the Office, purchased a ticket for Waterbury, and was soon whirling in the Naugatuck train towards his destination. On reaching Waterbury, in the soft spring twilight, Mr. Johnson walked up and down in front Of the station, curiously scanning the faces of the assembled crowd.
