the hews, and therefore see that diploma-
y has effected her object.
The terms of this ultimation, so far as
they have transpired, which Englaup,
France, Austria, and Prussia have pre-
sented to both Russia and Turkey, are
these :——The Sultan is to confirm the
late declaration in favor of religious lib-
erty among his subjects, so that it shall
assume the form and importance of a
treaty, not to be altered by his own ca-
prices or the changes that may take place
in the nation. This declaration allows
ogiiizes no interference with the religious
belief of any of his subjects, provided
such liberty does not intrude upon the
rights he exercises as a sovereign or their
duties as subjects. This declaration is
particularly directed towards the follow-
ers of the Greek Church, but it will
eqiialiy affect the rights of the Protest-
ants in his dominions. The Sultan, by
it, gives up no control as the sovereign
of the Greeks, and particularly refuses
to shift that sovereignty to the Russian
potentate, even as the head of the Greek
Church,
On the other hand, the Czar is te be
satisged with the religious liberty of the
Greeks without demanding any trsnsfer
of the sovereignty. Ae is, as the very
opening step of any permanent negotion,
to withdraw his troops immediately from
Moldavia and VVallachia and relinquish
his warlike preparations so far as Turkey
concerned. The settlement of the
Palestine question is not spoken of, or
the important zopic of who shall have the
key to the church at Bethlehem.
If all this is certain and true, it pre-
sents the Czar as willing to back out
from his strong position and relinquish
his ambitious claims upon the Turkish
Empire. There is a class in Russia
that will receive this news with chagrin
They are of the old Moscow party of
Catharine H. who feel that the natural
capital of their great Greek Empire is at
Constantinople, and, although they are
not Greeks by birth, they are by religion
and look forward to the time when that
city shall be again the hand of their re-
ligion, as she was once, The feelings of
Nichols himself lean that way, and will
hardly be reconciled to the diplomatic
reasons that have made peace necessary
The ambition of many of the young offi-
cers with Mahometans who still desire
to carry war against every Christian
power. Religion has now love of coun-
try and dread of disgrace, as assistants,
and these men are so anxious for war
that they have been restrained with diffi-
culty from forcibly ejecting the present
ministry of the Sultan, and demanding
war. The refusal of the Hospodras of
of Moldavia and VVallachia to obey, any
more, the mandages of the Sultan, has
produced much exasperation in Turkey
and even an outbreak is feared.
England however will be satisfied.—
Her peaceful diplomacy has been success-
ful, and her policy is now uppermost.—
Kossulh and Mazzini will lament and
the letters of the former here will be fil-
led with reproaclies at the pusillanimity
of the four great powers.-—C'om'(ml.

is at the head of a boardingjhouse at No

recently arrived in this country, are at

where they intend opening a lace and silk
store, about the first of September. Ma-
ny of their goods they brought with them
but they have been disappointed on ac-
count of the absence from the city of ma-
ny to whom they broughtletters. I have
seen them, and feel desirous
that they should be known and experi-

are of a superior quality, and were man-

supervision, I think. The widowed sis.

with her Parisian dressmakers, and de-
signs to carry on the business.”
Two of the sisters go this week to

We ddinteud here to discuss the mer-
its, or demerits of this very extraordina-
whezher the County has any right to the
land, which canbe conveyed. A brief
siatement'of' the facts will make this
question hlear. ' Tradition and History
inform us, that some time prior to the
year 1760, the Gaol in Fairfield stood on
the nnrtheasterly side of the Public
Green or “Meeting House Green,” as it
was called in those days, and very near
where the Post Office now stands. The
exact location of the Court House at that
time we ’ do notnow know. About the
year 1'/'60,'one-:=fFrazer burnt the Gaol,
and it becamegtbe duty of the County to.
erect a-u'e\v.@_ne, It also appears from
the votes passed=by the Town of Fair-
field that a new.,-C,o_urt House was built
at the same time.
The following are the votes of the
Town of Fairfield, in relation to this sub-
ject, to be found" on the Records of the
Town. "¥‘is='~"- l -- .»

“Voted and agreed, that the county of
Fairfield have liberty to erect a Prison
and House for the Gaol Keeper on the
westetly part ‘of the Pond, and Southeas-
terly of the Country Road, and liberty
for a garden for the Gaoler, the wester-
ly extension ofsaid garden to be five rods
distant from Mr“. Thaddeus Burr’s Home
lot.” ' I V
In 1779, the Court House and Gaol
were rebuilt on the old foundations of
similar‘ form, and the same dimensions as
those “destroyed. These facts and the
votes of the "Town of Fairfield stated
above, establish beyond a doubt, that the
Countyierected their Court House and
Gaol on the "Public Green in the village
of Fairfield by the express permission
and license of the Town, and under that
license they have ever since remained.-
Tbe ground has been occupied for the
purpose of a Court House and Gaol, and
for no other purpose. The occupation
has been under the license of the Town,
\VhlcillglV8S the County no further privi-
lege than the ‘mere use of the land for a
Court House and Gaol.
Now that the County Seat has been
changed, and‘ the Public Buildings are to
be erected in another place, this license
ceases, and the possession and ownership
of tliezlaiid revert to the Town of Fair-
field. The pretended authority given to
the Commissioners of the County of
executea conveyance to the Town of
Bridgeport of the land on which the new
County Buildings in Fairfield are situa-
ted, by this section of the Act referred, to

the following incident occurred :
A little boy, only eight years old, play-

and back of a cornish man who was at

edict appeared, issued by three Justices,
ordering in accordance with the laws of
the State, lst, That dogs should no
more run at large in said town; 2d,
That any person might kill and destroy
any dog running at large as aforesaid,
and that it should be the duty of every
good citizen to do so; 3d, That any
person violating or infringing these reg-
ulations should pay a penalty of seven
dollars. And these regulations were
promptly and unhesltatingly acquiesced
in by the whole people of the town dog-
owners, dog-fanciers, and dog-sellers iii-
er. V Q
But in that same town hundreds have i
been bitten from year to year by the al-
ered. The effects of that bite have sent
each of them stumbling, staggering down
to a miserable and dishonored grave. The
bite was more fatal, the venom more dead-
ly, the evil immeasurably more wide
spread and general, than any can‘ne mad-
ness, Unlike the latter, it can upted the
souls while it destroyed the lives of its
victims. And that same town, we con-
fidently assert, has never been free from
alcoholic madness for the last two gen-
erations. Each year has seen strong men
cut down by it; families bereft of the
guidance and protection of husband and
father; others stripped of their property
and toppled d_own from respectability and
competence to degradation and want ;
wives abused and maltreated by those who
had sworn at the alter to love and char.
ish them till death; children fleeing in
terror from the cruel maniac who should
have been their shield and their refuge.
And the fiend is still active, furious ter-
rible; desolating new households and
spreading wider "and wider the domain
of contention, outrage, crime and inis-
ery.
Well; a portion of the people of Kil-
jingly have at length been moved by the
spectacle of woe and degradation thus
presented, to say—“ Let us drive out
this demon from among us! Let us
break his haunts, overturn his altars, de-
stroy his vessels or incense, and -compel
his preists and ministers to earn some
kind of honest living or do without any.
In short, let us serve this wholesale pois-
one: and destroyer as we have served his
humble follower and imitater, the pros-
pective or proximate cause of hydropho-
bia.” -
" But no I” say the residue of their
townmsmen; this shall not be ! Kill all
the dogs,t.hough perfectly sane and harm-
less ; but let. alone the rumcasks. These
are property, which cannot be taken
without compensation; and itis not right
todestroy that which might be used inno-
cently because some other might be used
hurtfully.”
Ah, gentlemen! how can you turn so
short a corner as this’! Dogs are just as
much property as rum-casks.
They are daily bought and sold as prop-
erty. And as to some liquor being used
innocently, do you not know that most
dogs are not rabid and not likely to be?
Then how can you act with such gross
inconsistency '.'-—N. Y. Tribune.
Singular Escape.
The Clienango Telegraph relates the
following 2--
Mr. Dan B. Skinner, of Sliurburn,
whose barn was struck by lightning and
burned in the afterncon, and whose house
was struck in the evening, we mentioned
last week. After the first occiirreiice,
Mr. Skinner had occasion to visit his pas
ture or woods. in which stood a very large
maple tree, in the trunk of which is a cav-
ity of sufficient dimentions to let in the
body of a man, while it was so effectual-
ly sheltered by the branches of a hemlock
as effectually to shield one from the storm.
In this place, Mr. S. had often taken re-
fuge on such occasions, and thinking he
would not be able to reach his house be-
fore tlie rain fell in torrents, he quietly
ensconced himsclfin the shelter mention-
ed.——Sitting a.few moments and listen-
ing to several sharp, terrific explosions.
and thinking over the events of the day,
and feeling, naturally, a little nervous, he
concluded he had rather risk a thorough
drenching than the danger he felt he in-
curred by remaining in that position, he
left, but had not proceeded eight rod
wlzen a thunder bolt shivcrd the identi-
cal tree in pieces. During the shown r,
his house was struck, soon, we believe
after he reached it. so, rising above the
considerations of his loss, which falls
with no little severity upon one of his
pecuniary means, must be an outpouring
of thankfulness to God for the providen
tial preservation of his life‘. ‘

The Tripartite Treaty.
It will be remembered that just previ-
ous to the close of the last administration
a proposition was made by Malmesbury
and Turgot on the part of England and
France to the United States that our
Government should unite in a treaty to
guarantee Cuba to Spain. To _ this ap-
plication, Mr. Everett, then Secretary of
State, returned a decided negative and
expressed his reasons at some length.-
Tlie reply to that communication of Mr.
Fverett has just been made public. It
is from Lord John Russell, the present
Secretary for Foreign affairs in England-
Lord J olin commence by observing
that it was doubtless competent for the
American Government to reject such a
proposition, and that, in such a case, an
answer would not have been necessary
had not Mr. Everett accompanied that
rejection with arguments beyond what
the simple nature of the question requir-
ed. He remarks that, .
The governments Great Britain and
‘France, when they made this proposal to
that of the United States since the period
of their independence. The absorption
or annexation of Lousiaua in 1803, of
Florida in 1848, had not escaped them;
still less did they require to be reminded
of the events of the seven years war, or of
the American war.
It occurs to her majesty’s government,
therefore, to ask for what purpose are,
these arguments introduced with so much
ability ? ,
He then alludes to, the implied admis-
sion of Mr. Everett that the United States
had an interest in Cuba beyond that to
which Great Britain and France could
pretend, and to his assertion that the Uni.
ted States could not suffer any other Eu-
ropean nation but Spain to ._own Cuba,
and shows that the two. powers who alone
could contend for Cuba are willing to re
linquish all attempts; provided that the
United States will do the same. Hence
he argues that there is nothing for Amer-
ica to fear from them, but everything fo}
them to fear from the United States,
Lord John then states that her Majes-
tys Government refui. e to admit that Great
Britain and France have no interest in
the preservation of the present state of
things in Cuba, and that the United
States have alone a right to a voice in
that matter, and shows from the nature
of the English possessions in the West
Indies and from her relations with Mexi-
co that she is deeply interested in the own
ership of Cuba,
Lord Malmesbury, and M. de Turgot
had urged as a reason for the treaty that
it would put a stop to all the lawless at.
tempts to get possession of. Cuba, made
by the adventurers of; this country. To
this Mr. Everett had replied by stating
that such a treaty would rather give a
new and powerful impulse‘to them.-
Lord John in return, "says that such ‘a
statement "is a meliiiiclioly avowal for
the ,Chief of a great Slate ” “VVithout
displuting i.t_,,9 ,l.,!"_l.,ll.ll,”I lie‘ continues, "her

He speaks to us clearly and fully with
regard to the failure of an observance of
the laws of nations, in its effect on Euro-
pean nations, and the disquiet‘ which Slll'il
a dctrine would create among those pow-
Qrs \vj[h “rhorn \V8 are 110“? at peace.—-
The Tripartite Convention proposed
would have quieted all these suspicious
and have shown to the world, he thinks,’
that we were not greedy for more Terri-
tory.
He closes by saying:
Nor let it be said that such a Conven.
tion‘ would have prevented the inhabit.
ants of Cuba from asserting their inde-
pendence, \Vitli regard to internal troub-
les, the proposed Convéntioriwas allo-
gemer silent, But a pretended declara-
tion of independence, with a view of im-
mediately seeking refuge, from revolt on
the part of the blacks, under the shelter ,
of the United States, would justly be |
looked upon as the same in effect asa for-
mal annexation. ~

Incident at Bedding camp Meeting.
After the stirring sermon by Rev. W.
Hoyt of Danbury, on‘ Friday, A. M., Rev. B.
M. Adams, Missionary at the Five Points, New
York, made some veryinferesting remarks‘ on
the power of the gospel to save even the degra-
ded and outcast, mentioning some thril1i.ng.ca-
ses. As heltvas about taking his" seat, he re-
marked that ns the Ladies of the Missionary
Society who established the mission, had in-
curred considerable debt in the purchase oftlie
“ Old Brewery,” and in- constructing the new
Mission building on the premises, and that if
any one had any desire to help on the good
work, they could do so, by sending to his ad-
dress at New Yoi-k—-and while he was yet
speaking, fl. gentleman rose and asked if he
had any objection to raising a small donation
on the spot, at the same time handing him it
bill ; and then another came forward and did
the same, and by this time the movement be-
came general. Children came with shillings,
and some with pennies, until the sum of one-
hundred and fifteen dollars came unasked into
the hands of the faithful missionary. It was
one of the most: thrilling incidents we ever
witnessed. This praiseworthy missionary is :1
son of Gen. Adams of Stamford. ,

Ftw I say that the salerof Alcohol asa bev-
erage, infringes upon my rights as a citizen of
this State. in commerce we exchange one
commodity or thing for another, which is con-
sidered an equivalent the one for the other-.—
And in transactions between man and man
where there is a want of intention to do this,
Inch transactions are considered at fraud. But
in the Alcohol which is uchsnged for money
in equivalent to the person who drinks it 2--
No Sir, it is worse for him than if he had
thrown it away, or been robbed of it, and
therefore I claim that no man has a. constitu-
tional right to sell that to another mm which
deprive: him of hisfiproperty without render-
ing to him an equivalent for the same. Nor
has any man u constitu tional right to sell
to another that which would be deleterious
to life, or in jurioua to health, or that would
disqualify him to discharge the duties which he
owes to civil and religious society.
But the sale of Alcoholic liquors does all
this ; and not only does all this injury to _ the
individual, but it qualifies him to commit the
most outrageous and horrid deeds that ever
disgraced our race. And in fact there are very
few crimes which are not connected directly or
indirectly, with the use of Alcoholic drinks.-—
It would be useless however to expatiate on a
subject which is so familiar to every one tho’
but a superficial observer.
It requires but little skill to determine that
a person is sick, but to determine the nature
of 3 dineIsc,..would roqnirl note skin, while to
be able to prescribe the proper remedy for its
removal, would be of the utmost importance. '
That the tramc in Alcohol as a beverage, is
an evil-3 momtrous and mortal evil, will
scarcely be denied by any one. The great
question is, what shall be done to remove this
evil? In cases of a desperate character, where
the application of common remedies are not at-
tended with success, it is justifiable no doubt in
some cases to try experiment. The Maine Law
has been tried as an experiment for this evil
and it has been attended with such success,
that it may be considered no longer an experi-
ment, but a. true specific for this great evil.
The important question to be decided in,
how shall this law be obtained? How shall
this measure be secured? '
Whatever others may think on this subject I
have come to the following conclusion, namely,
that it is the duty of all the ministry of the
different denominations in this State to bring
this subject before their several congregations
on the Sabbath. If this should be done as it
might and ought to be done, I have no doubt;
that this deafderaturn would be accomplished.
Antecedent to this agents have been employ-
ed in this State to lecture on the subject of
temperance, and they have, no doubt, made ad-
mirable and eloquent appeals to our people on
this subject.
But notwithstanding all this, I think, that
the ministers of our own congregations, if they
would take hold of this subject, would have 3
better and more controlling influence over our
people. than agents who are generally stran-
gers can have, and therefore there is, in my
opinion, a responsibility resting upon our min-
isters, which they cannot throw off until this
duty is performed.
If it should be objected, that this is ti. politi-
cal aubject, and therefore ministers have no
right to meddle with polittcs, I answer; that
it in a,great moral subject, and in such, we
‘wish them to bring it before the people, in-es
pective of party politics. If ministers of the
gospel consider it their privilege, if not their
duty likewise to go to the polls, (as some of
“'9” ha“? d°l|9:) when some important party po.

The Legislature of this Sfate has seen fit to
lm‘-Ike regulation, with regard to the proper
observance of the Sabbath. But is the dese-
cration of film Sabbath a greater moral evil
than intemperance 2 Dare any men say that
it in? The Bible says that “ Drnukatds jhgll
not inherit the kingdom of God,-" 1 Cor. 6-10
Can any thing be brought stronger than this
against a breach of the Sabbath? If not what
have we been doing on this subject ?
Now I say that if we can by lawful means
obtain a law which will inhibit the sale of Al-
cohol as a beverage, and we do not do it, God
will hold 119 responsible for this neglect.
3"‘ D9"hl1P3 50me ilinisters may say that
they have no gift to lecture or to preach on
the subject of temperance. Then, in my opin-
ion, they ought to endeavor to acquire 3 3,31.
ent for this duty. If there should be such 3
want of the observance of the Sabbath, thgt
one part of the community should undertake
to disturb another part, who should assemble
for divine worship on the Sabbath, would not
the ministry find talent suflcient to advise the
people to procure a law which would secure
to them their rights? And that too, without
considering that they were meddling improperly
with politics. Has any body guy ggpgpleg 3'!‘
