SILVER Oar: IN CoNivi:c'ricU'r.—The
New Haven Register says: “ We have
been shown specimens of the Silver Lead
ore recently taken from the old Berlin
mine, during its examination by a distin-
guished geologist. It was opened during
the war of the Revolution. to get lead
for bullets, and evidently abandoned
without knowing its great value_ This
appears to be not only the ‘golden’ but
the silver age—and if the Middletown
mines can be worked profitably, we see
no reason why this in Berlin may not be
equally successful.”
Fatsxn B. :—The above statement is going
the rounds of the papers, and as none of them
to my knowledge ever published an account of
a Silver Mine in this vicinity, perhaps it would
be well to let the public through your paper,
know that we have precious, as well as useful
minerals among us. The mine alluded to, is in
the north-east of Wilton, about a mile from the
Georgetown Station; some account of it may
be found in Barber’s Connecticut Historical Col-
lections. It appears that it was divided into
shares, and worked a short time during the
Revolutionary War, and that the head work-‘
man or overseer, after having sent away all the
ore that had been dug, under pretence of hav-
ing it examined, suddenly left “ between two
days,” leaving the sharclioldcrs minus, the
-amount of their subscription, and also their
share of “ the rocks.” 1 t is said that many per-
sons in comfortable circumstances who had sub-
scribed bountifully towards working the mines,
were by this operation, left almost pennyless.
Within a few months past, the gentleman who
has so successfully worked the Middletown mine,
has examined this with the intention of making
arrangements for working it, but being unable
to agree with the owners, has probably abandon-
ed the attempt. Since then several persons
from New York have examined it and are sat-
isfied that therc is a pretty good sprinkling of
the precious material there, and are doubtless
intending to open the mine, if they can make
the necessary arrangements with the landhold-
ers. It is to be hoped that it will fall into the
hands of some company, who are not lacking
for perseverance, and have the means to give it
a thorough examination, and who will not aban-
don it until they have at least tested the quali-
ty of“ the rock” in the mine, for there is, with-
out doubt, large quantities of the needful lying
useless in the earth, at that place, and needs
only some enterprising men to dig it out and
put it in a condition for “ circulation,” when it
is to be hoped that some of it, in the shape of
coin, will find its way into the pockets of the
needy. ‘

Fire.
The farm-house of SILAS Msnxna, of this
town, ituated in Cross Highway, Westport,
was entirely consumed by fire on Monday night
week. It is supposed to be the work of an in-
cendiary. Loss covered by insurance.
Almost a Fire.
The carpenter shop of Thomas Ci-aw, of So.
Norwalk, came near being destroyed by fire
one day last week, in consequence of careless-
ness in igniting a sugar, on the part of a boy
in his employ. Fortunately the flames were
subdued before any very serious damage was
done.
Eggs as are Eggs.
Mr. John Comstock of Wilton has deposited
in our sanctum six eggs laid by a matronly old
biddy of the common breed. which essentially
uses up all the Munchausen and Arabian
Knights wonders of the whole Shangha: tribe.
The weight of the half dozen is 1 1-2 lbs. ! and
their connected length is one foot and five
lnches—\vliile the oblong circumference of the
largest is eight inches! Our SlllI7lglld’.9 are
now for sale! Who bids?
fi, We are gratified to learn that Rev. Mr.
Woolsey is convalescing. and that his wound is
doing well. In speaking of the physicians who
assisted in the amputation of his foot we omit-
ted mention of Dr. Ira Gregory, who rendered
very important assistance, we are told, on the
occasion. We hope soon to see our Reverend
friend recovered from the fearful calamity
which has so suddenly interfered with his active
usefulness.

Another named Foley, now lies in a very

@There need be no apprehension of a
similar accident occurring here should the
Maine Law ever be enacted in this state. We
know of several instances where parties have
been shockingly burnt by the villainous stuff
per see, but never heard of an instance where
it could be ignited.

Steamer Pacific.
It is well known to most, if not all of our
citizens, that our little Steamer is detained at
her wharf, on account of liabilities which have
been contracted during her running, through a
want of proper management, or rather no man-
agement at all. We refer to this detention not
as a matter in which the mere stockholders are
interested. This medium of communication be-
tween our village and the city, is one of very
great importance to the entire business interests
of the town ; a very considerable of the interior
or back country trade which has found its way
to Norwalk the past season, may be attributed
to the fact of our Farmers, horse dealers car.
riage makers, country merchants and others,
were drawn here instead of Stamford or Bridge-
port, on account of this means of intercommu-
nication. We claim‘ that every business man
in Norwalk, is pecuniarly interested in her suc-
cess and regular running, and we hope yet to
see it manifested in a sensible way. We learn
that she is almost irredecmably saddled with
debts—accounts deemed just and unjust, and
that it is feared she may be sold from this route
to cancel those obligations; we hope however,
that such will not prove to be a necessity-:—-
Her affairs have just been placed under the im-
mediate control of Noah Selleck, Esq., who it
is to be hoped, will be able to compromise with
the claimants, and thus get the boat running
again. Although he is not much of an adopt
in the " dog cat dog” enterprise of this meridi-
an, we have great confidence both in his ability
and disposition to place matters upon a more
satisfactory footing.

giving the entire work as soon as the rehear-

Forged Pardon.—A curious case that will
puzzle the lawyers, has just occurred in the
State of New York. Aman by the name of
Endymoin, by forging certificates and other
papers representing himself nearly gone with
consumption, had obtained a regular pardon
from Gov. Seymour, and release f'rom Auburn
State Prison. in which he had been confii1ed.——
The question is whether this second confiiietnent
is legal, after a regular pardon and release
have been granted. He can he proceeded

company with Mr Slcclcpegrell, also a Ger-
man, to go to the residence of a Priest, down
town, for the purpose of getting married. Im-
mediately after the ceremony was completed,
they repaired to a saloon, where they were in
the act of taking cake and wine, when the bride
complained of dizziness in her head, and soon
became helpless. This was at half past three
o'clock, and in half an hour afterwards she was

N33. A party of rowdy boys who were in the
habit of bathing in the river near Chicago, Ill.,
endeavored to compel a little boy, son of Mr
Lutz, to enter a garden, and steal fruit for
them. This he refused to do, when they plung-
ed him into the river. He constantly refused
to steal for them as long as he was able to
speak, begging them not to drown him, lint
they persisted until life was extinct, and then
left him floating in the river. The next day he

fifiv Joseph Smith, a hatter from Danbury,
undertook a series of commercial and financial
operations in Bridgeport, a few days since,
which he was not able to carry through. He
pretended to be it confidential agent of How-

of brandy, &c., and drew a check on that house
for the amount, which he wisely concluded to
present to the bank himself. Suspicious that
all was not right, led to his arrest, when he
plead intoxication as the reason of his conduct,
and was suffered to depart, with an admonition.

The Oysternnen.
The “ Oystcrmen’s Celebration” came off in
Bridgeport, on Wednesday last. A fleet of
twenty sail, from Grecnwicli, S1umford,Darien,
Norwalk, and Westport, arrived about noon.——
The principal object of the gathering, was to
get up a rcnionstrance against fishermen from
the other States taking Oysters in our waters.
The company had a. supper at Barnuni’s Ho-
tel, after which speeches were made and Reso-
lutions passed. It was voted to circulate peti-
tions, and to assemble in Norwalk in March
next. See proceedings;

times, up and down, and with a look of
evident satisfaction walked away.

MR. BYINGTON :—Bclieving you to be a friend
to institutions of learning and religion, I have
taken my pen to write a few lines relative to
the Wesleyan University. This Institution
commenced operations in 1831 under the Presi-
dency of Rev. Wilbur Fisk, D. D., one of the
great men of his age. Dr. Bangs of New York
succeeded him; Dr. Olin was the third Presi-
dent, since whose lamented death, Augustus
W. Smith, L.L. D. has been elected to that im-
portaut post. I think four hundred and fifty
young men have here graduated, several of‘
whom are now Presidents of Colleges and Pro-
fessors, as Charles Collins, D. D., late President
of Emery and Henry College, now 1’residciit of
Dickinson College; J. W. Morrill, M. A. has
been President of McKcendree College; Eras-
tus Wentwortli, D. D., is now President of the
Same Institution ; Benj. F. Tefft, I). D. has been
Professor of Ancient Languages in the Indiana
Asbury University, Editor of the Ladies’ Re-
pository, and is new President of Gcucsec Col-
lege ; Edward Cooke, sometime Principal of
Pennington Seminary, now President of a Col-
lege iii the West. Twenty-six have been at
different times Professors and Tutors, and near-
ly one liuutlrcd and forty out of four hundred
and fifty graduates have already become preach-
ers of the gospel, several of whom have been
distinguished f'or talents and uscfuliit~ss, among
these we may be allowed to name 1). P. Kidder,
1). D., Editor of the Sunday School Advocate,
(fl. paper which has more than 110,000 subscri-
bers, and which deserves its alniost unequaled
popularity ;) Daniel Corry, D. D., B. F. ’l‘cfl't,

the Oneida Conference Seminary _: E. Wciit-
wortli, D. D., C. Collins, 1). D., and Davis W.
Clark, D. 1) , now Editor of the Ladies-‘ Repos_
itory, published at Cincinnati.
I had the pleasure of’ spending several days
at Middlctown last week, and heard the famous
E. P. Whipple, Esq , on Momluy evening.
After Mr Whipple, Mr. Tliurbcr delivered a
poem. On Tuesday the Joint Board met, and
besides conferring the degrees in course, they
conferred honorary degrees as follows : that of
I) D. on Laban Clark of Conn ; G-corge Web-
ber of Maine, A. M. Osborne of N. Y. and John
Frazer of the Troy Conference; of A. M. on
John llobart recently of Maine, now of Provi-
deuce Conference, Wm. Rice of Mass. Morris
D. C. Crawford of New York, A. S. Hunt and
John M. Van Vlcck were elected adjunct Pro-
fcssors. The Commencement came ofi’ou Wed-
nesday the 3d inst. in a very happy manner.
Twenty-two graduates this year, and several of
them gained great honor for themselves and
their Alma Mater, by their oratioiis. '
The prospects of the Institution are very flat-
tering ; long may it continue to prosper.
Thus much I have said of this Institution.
I will yet add that the Methodist Episcopal
Church now have nine Colleges and fifty-f'our
Seminaries. These do not include those con
nected with the Southern secession M. E.
Church! F. A. Citarrs:

._l‘lic civil war in-Vcnc-
zucla has been cut short by a fearful catastro-
plic—-a most destructive curtliquakc at Cumu-
ua, the capital city of the province of that name,
foriuiiig a part of Venezuela, and being the
only province in rebellion. The earthquake
occurred on the 15th of July, and was the most
disastrous that has ever occurred in South
America. The first shock was f'clt only about
two minutes, yet in that short space of time it
destroyed every house but one in the principal
part of the city, called Puente Arriba. Six
hundred soldiers in the barracks were among
the victims; The Cumahans immediately sent
their submission to Gen. Moiiagas, and solicited
succor. Cuniana, a city of about 8000 popula-
tion, lyiug on the gulf of Cariaco, is the oldest
city on the continent, having been founded in
1553. The earthquake was felt in Barcelona,
and destroyed three large buildings, including
the barracks, just after 700 soldiers had left
them. All along the coast of Venezuela shocks
were felt, but no mischief was -known. It is
said that the superstitions of the people led
many of them to look upon the earthquake as
an evidence of the Divine disapprobation of the
revolution.
Meeting of the Oystermcn.
At a meeting of the Oystermcn of the shore
towns, in I-‘airfield County, held at Barnumis
Hotel, Bridgeport, on Tuesday evening, Aug.
16, Eliakiin Hongh was chosen President, and
Wm A Lewis, Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been ex-
plained, tiic following gentlemen were appoint-
ed a committee for the purpose of preparing
resolutions for consideration and adoption, viz:
Nathan Roberts, W C Saminis, of Norwalk.
George B Walmslcy, Francis Waterbury, Da-
rieii.
Oliver Ketchum, Miles Oakley, Stamford.
W. A. Lewis, Christopher D. Smith Bridgeport
Lockwood Clark, ThomasWright, Greenwich
The committee, after a brief retirement re-
turned and submitted the following ;
Resolved, as the sense of this meeting
that \ve here unite for the protection of
our interests in the Oystering business
along this shore, and that we will fierc-
after act in concert for this purpose.
Resolved, That Oystermcn from other
States have no right to take Oysters in
this State, and that we pledge ourselves
to prosecute all who violate the laws on
this subject.
Resoirecl, That the law prohibiting
the taking of Oysters from the first of
March to the first of September, should
be so amended as to allow their being
taken from the first of September to the
first of Nlay.
Resolzrerl, That another meeting of
the Oystermen of the shore towns of this
County he held in South Norwalk, on
the second Tuesday of March next, at 2
o’clock in the afternoon.
No objections being suggested to these
resolutions, the question on them was
put, and they were adopted, unanimous-
ly.
The meeting then passed a vote of
thanks to Mr. Barnum, for his excellent
entertainment, and adjourned, with a
round of cheers for the Oystermcn.

are alino st uiisepurably connected, the former will aid
the mother in training up her cliililrcii, while the latter
will so amuse tlit-iii as to cause her much less trouble
than she would otherwise have with them. We would
recommend them to every faniily.
Said Julia, to Anna the fair,
“ I envy your lot I declare,
“Pray tell me, how is it my friend,
“ Your beauty so many commend ;
“Many hours each day at the glass
“In prinking and fixing I pass,
“ 1 curl, I frizzlc, I braid,
“ Alas ! after all to be an old maid.”
With an arch knowing look, Anna replied,
“ The secret from you no longer I’ll hide,
“ You wish for admirers, lovers, nice sparks,
“Just adorn that fair form, with J ewclry from

The sales of the article of late years have increased in a

attciitioii of the people. This was all that the inventor
ilesircrl. Every bottle advertised itself. The effects of
the fluid cxccoded cxpectntioii.—lt acted like a charm.
The ladies would not. be without it. Country dealers in
every section of the United States found they must have
it ; and thus was built up a wholesale trade of an extent
hitherto unheard of as regards articles of this kind.

believed that the sales this gear will be a million and a

Dn. .I.uins G. HARBOUR. Surgeon and Mcclianical Den-
tist—Would respectfully inform his friends and the public
generally, that having made arrangements whereby he
can be absent from the City a portion of his time, he
will devote that time to his profession, in Norwalk.
DR. B.ulnol'R may be found at his residence, I‘lAS’l‘
Avi-:xL's, two doors north of DR. H.u.t.’s, on lilomlays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, of each week, ready to attend
to the calls of any who may need his services in any of
the various branches of his profession.
Having had an experience of more than twelve years
city practice, and still being connected with a flrni in
the city, Dr. B. feels confident that he is able to give
perfect satisfaction in nllofliis operations, which will be
be performed in the most approved and scientfic manner.
Teeth filled with gold or other material, as circumstan-
ces niiiy dictate. Teeth extracted with case, when so
far diseased as to be incurable.
Dr. B. is prepared to insert Teeth with artificial gums,
from one to a. whole set. These Teeth for durabilityand
natural appearance are not surpassed by any.

Among the many blessings attendant upon improve-
ments in the social condition and the advances of our
race in intelligence, is the prolongation of human life.
With the increase of intelligence lias grown up a knowl-
edge f'or the elements of licaltli, and a. regard for them,
and commciisurately with the strides of science have we
acquired the means of urrestiiig disease, and averting its
ravages. Notwitlistnnding the progress we have made,
statistics show that even now, one sixth of the whole
population die annually of consuiiiption.
One ofilic niost iuiportant discoveries of the age, in
amelioratiiig the condition of this large class of suffering
humanity, is
Wistar’s Balsam of \Vild Cherry.
Nunda, Livingston Co., N. Y., June 20, 18489.‘;
Mr. S. W. 1-‘owle,——-De:i.r Sir : Prompted by a sense of
gratitude for benefits received from the use of WlSTAR’S
BALSAM OI-‘ WILD CHERRY, I submit the following
statement : Previous to my taking the Wild Cherry, I
had been obliged to give up my business in consequence
of a severe affection of the lungs. In this distressed
state I was ordered to try your i'eme<l_v for CONSUMP-
TION. I (lid so, and in the course ofa few weeks, I was
restored to coniparativc good licaltli, so that I have since
been able to attend to ordinary biisiiicss. Indeed, iuy
present state oflit-altli_f‘ar cxcccds my most sunguiuc ex-
pcctutious. Yours truly,
(Signeul.) JOHN BURNS.
'llie only original and genuine WJSTAIVS BAISAM OF
WILD CHERRY. was introduced in the _v(-urlS38. andlias
been well tested in all the coiiiplniiits for which it is rec-
ominciided. For ten ycnrsit has proved more efficacious
as ll reniedy for Coughs. Colds. Influenza, Bronchitis,
Astliiiia and Consumption in its incipient stages, than
any other iucilicinc.
