A Casenmzder the Liquor Law qf
New Jersey.——The first case which has
occurred in the State, under the law rel-
ative tolbabitual drunkard, passed at the
last session of the Legislature, took place
at Princeton on Friday, the 22d ult., and
is mentioned in the W/iig. The Chan-
cellor__ issued a commission to three gen-
tlemen, who _ proceeded to try before a
jury aninquisition into the habitual drun-
kenness of Charles Skillman, and his in-
capacity to take care of his property.-
The jury gave a verdict that such was
the case, and, according to the law, the
Orphan.’s cgurt, on application, must ap-
point a guardian over him. -He is dives

ted of all control of his property which

liquor sellers, under a penalty are .forb'i<l-
den to sell to him, and, legally, be is to
be treated as a lunatic.

Consociation. _

The Consociation of Fairfield West
was again called to this pace, yesterday,
in re_fe_r'ence' to the troubles in South Con-
gregational Church—-a large portion of
Church desiring, or appearing to desire
the d_ism'issal_ of their pastor. Memorials
from"; a large minority strongly depreca’
ting any such dismission were presented
No charges seem to have been formally
preferred ;- but much time was yesterday
spent by Rlov. Dr. Hewitt in an able de’
fence of his course in a certain matter of
Church discipline. Incidentally, also
the conduct of some of his people was
censured in the most indignant terms.-
As an outsider, we have little disposition
to take sides in this unhappy controversy
Of all quarrels, deliver us from those grow-
ing*out of Church matters. In compari-
‘son with these, so far as bitterness of
feelings is concerned, party contests are
mere boys?-; play. '

P. S. We hear that the decision of
the -Consociation this morning, was (as
expected) to the effect that no charges
had been presented to justify a call for a
dismission. A The resignation of Dr. Hew-
itt was then tendered Under the cir-
cumstances there is no doubt that it will
be accepted.

Groton Celebration.
The anniversary of the massacre of

Fort Griswold, Sep. 6, 1781, was cele-
brated at Groton, on Tuesday. A large
tent was erected onGroton height-‘, which
was crowded to excess. Hon. Thomas
W. Williams, the president of the day»
made some introductory remarks. He
was followed by Hon. Robert C. VVin-
thi-op, of Boston, in an elegant speech.-
Tlieorator of the day was Wm. J. Ham-
ersley, Esq, of this city. His oration
was.’ an hour and a half in length, and is
well spoken of by those who heard it.——
He was followed by Gov. Seymour, of
New _York, Gov. Seymour of Connecti-
§ cut, Judge Wayne of Georgia, Erastus
~ Brooks of the N. Y. Express, Wm: J.
Hamersley, and some other gentlemen.
A great concourse was present, and eve-
ry thing passed off pleasantly.—C'oura.nt.

 

The moutlzs of Danube —As was
fears.-'d‘wliei1‘ hostilities broke out, and the
Russians shut up the mouths of the Dan-
ube, tlie obstructions have become seri-
ous, and have entirely shut in many ves.
sels-la-den with corn. The mud, as ,it
passes ‘out, accumulates very rapidly on
the bars at the mouth, and soon liardens.
The London papers say that there is not-
nowmore than six and a half feet of wa-
ter on the bar. The Turks always avoi-
this-‘accumulation, by obliging all vessels

In earlier times, among our Puritan fore-
fathers, the strict observance of the Sabbath
was considered by them the first of virtues,
and anything tending to dirtuib their public
devotions was looked upon as almost a sac-
rilegc. It is the custom liere, immediately
on the terminating of the Sunday morning
Church services, for each of the different.
churches to have their bells rung, the object
of which Iibelieve has never been explained,
unless it is to inform the outside barbarians
who are not in the, habit of attending, that
the services are over. As the timeoecupied
by each in their devotions, is not precisely
of the same lenglb,the one that is dismissed
first commences “-dinging” its bell in a 4th
of July sort of style, without regard to-the
annoyance it makes to the others who are
still ‘engaged in worship.

Cannot something be done to do away
with this nuisance? .Hereafter, that each
may not disturb the other, let the ringing
of bells at this time either be dispensed with
altogether, or at least until each congrega-
tion shall have been dismissed. Though the
former remedy, I think, would be in better
tast-e,I am afraid the majority of the public
would not be in favor of giving up the time
honored custom, but would be satisfied to
adopt tl1e"latter as a remedy of the present
system. In the business portion of our bor-
ough, through which most of us have to
pass to and from divine service, are located
low grog-shops, that send forth loathsome
creatures, not always of the ruder sex, who
reeling from the effects of the poison they
have taken, oblige us to make circuitous
paths through their midst, and oftimes re-‘
ceive insults ero we are free of them. Many
a poor person, who has come from a distance
in hopes of receiving the blessings of divine
instruction, after being dismissed from the
church, with the now frequent plea. of the
priest’s illness, is induced to enter these
dens, and then sent forth with a disordered
brain, ready for any desperate deed.

I have noticed among your advertisements
certain regulations or laws, relating to nui-
sances, ctc., emanating from the oflicers of
the borougli. N ow to these gentlemen,
whom one would suppose to be more effici-
ent in the discharge of their duties since
they are confined to so limited a sphere ;—
than the town ofiicers whose extent of du-
ties-—judging from’ their actions—to think
of, is supposed to frighten them. I present
this latter evil for their particular consider-
ation, aud if they delay giving it proper at-
tention, I look to you, Mr. Editor, to inform
“the people” tliat they may censure the
ofiicers for neglect of duty, by taking suit-
able action themselves.

The respectable landlords of these places
are as much to blame as the tenants know-
ing full well for what purposes they are to
be used when renting them. A These dwel-
lings are in such a miserable condition that
none but those who can find no place else
will live in them. The expenditure of a
mere trifle would make them desirable for
our respectable mechanics to dwell in, and
instead of being eyesares to our citizens and
stranger-s——the new life given them would
tend to ornament this recently much impro-
ved portion of our town. '

Franklin from China allude to the diflicul.
ty of obtaining reliable information,
though all agree in the fact of the whole
country being in a state of extreme dis.
turbance, and that in the tea districts es.
pecially there was great disorder. There
is no ‘longer any doubt that the K0 Kew

firms this, as well as the statement of

it is remarkable, and perhaps unparalleled
in die annals of physiology. In early in-
fancy, lhe quantity of water he consuincd
was so large as to /11SlOlllSll those who wit-
nessed it. A development in size and
weight of the body required an increase in
the quantity of his aquatic potntions. Un-
der ordinary circumstances, three gallons

him to live through a niglit, with less than

A NEW Timon! or rm: Tinns.----Some
scientific genius in a I’Vashinglon paper
takes the ground that the moon has no in-
fluence over the tides, but says that in the
bottom of the ocean there exist mountains
and enormous caverns, probably extend-
ing to the centre of the earth, and similar
to those on land. Hisiheory is that the‘
daily motion ofllie earth causes the water
to rush in and out of these caverns, thus
the rise and fall of the tides. If this is true
we have been stuffed with a pretty consid-
erable of :1 “moon hoax” for 2 good many
years. Who knows.

Wur Mu. BUCHANAN NEVER l\/Lummn.
A correspondent of the New Haven Palla-
dium, wriiing from Lancaster, Pa., briefly
records the reason:

“A short distance from the city is the
country residence of Hon. James Buchan-
an, American embassadnr to the Court of
St. James. Its general appearance indi-
calos at once that no fair hand is there to
train the creeping vines or budding roses
to their fitting p|acc——as you are aware the
honorable gentleman still reuiaiiis in sin-
gle blessedness? The story is briefly told.
Paying his addresses to a young and beau-
tiful lady in this city, each became deeply
enamored, and they were engaged. On a
given evening, she requestod his company

on the plea of business engagements. Cir-
cumstances rendering it necessary he, lalé
inihe evening, gallaulsd a young lady
her home, and on the way----they met.-4»
mortified and chagrined at what she deem-
ed unfaithfulness and deseriion, and imag-
ining the worst, she left the city early in
the morning, and returned a corpse ----
Such is the sad story of his early love, nor
can the high places of distinction make him
foiget, nor the wreaths of honor that encir-
cle hia brow bury the meuiory of the ear-
loved and lost.

“ The Academician,” published at New-
lown, contains the following sketch of a
character known in these parts as as“Black

Jack”——

“The negro is Jack Dibble, and I be-
lieve we cannot claim himas anative, as
he was born in Africa, and was brought as
a slave to Virginia, where he was sold
many times. He says he remembers go-
ing to a neighboring town near where he
lived to see General Washingtons’arinv
pass through. He has now lived in New-
lown about fifty years. His age is not ex-
actly known, but it is supposed to be about
one hundred and twenty years. Upon be-
ing asked he says he is twenty one, and
this has heen his answer as long as I re-
member.”

Lightning.

During the storm of Saturday night, week,
the lightning descended and struck four popu-
lar trees in front of the residence of Joseph
Lounsbury, in New Canaan. It ran from the
trees to his carriage. house, shattering and inn’
hinging its doors-—from thence passed under
the underpining of his house, immediately un-
der Mr. L-‘s sleeping apartments, Into his cellar
where it struck avinegar barrel in the head
and emptied its contents in a very summary
manner.

ey is subscribed for the purchase of a. school
library will be disbursed by the Principal and

chased. _

 
 

 

 We have been called upon to retract

certain opinions which we advanced in rather
unguarded language, a few weeks since. We
had written an article in reply to this demand,
but upon reflection have concluded to defer it
till next week, in order to give the party an
opportunity to recall his grins personal abuse»
if he sees fit; to do so. .

'l‘heft.—J\"athan Hendrick of this town

on Saturday week, for stealing from Mr. "Gray
of Wilton, his pocket-book, gold spectacles, ckc
from his pockets, while he was in the water

pocket book and part of the money was found
upon Hendrick, he’ was cc-nunittcd to Jail to
