To Members of the Legislature.

As the Republican majority in the House
is not largc,it will be important that every
Republican member is on hand at the open-
ing of the session, at 10 A. M. on Wedne :-
day, May 4th. It will be better to start so
as to reach Hartford Tuesday afternoon,
thus avoidin'g’any probability of accidental

delay, and enabling an attendance upon the
important preliminary caucus on Tuesday
evening.

Norwalk Institute Library.

ThisLibrary, through a liberal dopation
from the ladies of the “ Ladies Union,” 15 now
again in good working order. The debts of
the institution are all paid off, and about one
hundred volumes of new books have been ad-
ded . The library contains,at the present time,
about 750 volumes, and we do not believe
that e. better selection of standard and popu-
lar works can be found.’ ‘

It is now open to' all subscribers at the
rate of $2-per annnm, or $1 for six months.—
The library‘ is kept at the store of Mr. Chas.
N. Clock, the librarian, and subscription!
will be taken by'him‘at any time. The sub-
scription‘price must always be paid in ad-
vance. We hope that our citizens will aid
in this undertaking, which has thus far strug-
gled along under manifold ditlicultles and
discouragements until it has at last reach ed
its present position. Clear of debt, and man-
aged on a system of the most rigid economy,

Dr. Lord’s Lecture.

You do not need to be informed, Messrs.
Editors, (for we ware happy to see the corn-
plete trio in attendance,) but our fellow citi-
zens ought to know what arich treat was
provided for them by the distinguished His.
tori-an, who gave his introductory Lecture on
Friday evening last.

The great discoverer of the New World
was presented before us in so graphic a delin-
eation, that we could almost see him, and fol
low him in his twenty years experience of al-
ternate hopes and discouragements, and then
on his long and exciting voyage oyer waves
which no keel before his had ever ploughed.
But the Lecture was not merely historical and
biographical, but philosophical and patriotic
in the best sense; replete with noble senti-
ments, expressed in most elegant and eloquent
phrase.

If the five succeeding Lectures (the second
of which is to be given at Phenix Hall, this
evening,at 7 3 4 o’clock) shall equal the first,
those who are so wise as to avail themselves
of the tpportunitthill enjoy a great privi-
lege. The whole course is spoken of in the
highest terms by some of the best judges in
our country.

But why is it that so many of our intelli-
gent and cultivated ladies and gentlemen-
those too who have wealth and leisure, as well
as education and taste—are seldom. if ev er:
persuaded to attend a scientific orliterary cu-
tertainment of so high an order? Will noth-
ingbetter “draw” in Norwalk than “ Punch
and Judy,” “ Jim Crow,” and “Ethiopian
Minstrels?” For shame—for shame i

Union School.

There was a very pleasant gathering of the
friends of our Union School, on Wed uesduy
afternoon last, to listen to declamations,
compositions, &c., of two rival societies, in
the High School department, the Excelsior
and the Philomathean. These societies were
formed ashort time ago for the purpose of
improving themselves in Speaking,Dobating.
Declaiming, ac” and their exhibition on Wed-
nesday showed that they had already at-
tained a high degree of proficiency in Dec-
lamation. Both sides’did battle right nobly,
and it was a very difficult problem to solve,
as to which side had the victory, the judges
finally decided in favor of the Excelsior So-
ciety, but we, taking into consideration the
extreme youth of those engaged in the strife
on the other side, were rather inclined to fa-
vor the Phi lomntheun, although in their dec-
lamations they did not show quite as good
taste in their selections. There was a lack of
variety in this respect, which was the case
with the compositions on the other side. The
singing by the Honorary Members of the Phi-
lomatheau Society was a very pleasing fea-
ture of the exhibition.

The elocution of the pupils was very cred-
itable to’ themselves and teachers.

Dr.Irord’s Lecture.

One of the most chaste and beautiful litera-
ry efforts ever given the citizens of Norwalk,
was the lecture ofDn. Lonn, last Friday even-
ing. Yet with all the notice given, and the
Well known reputation of the Lecturer, scarce-
ly fifty persons were present. Had the same
notice been given that a monkey was to climb
a pole, or a sham negro was to dance and lid-
dleiand sing, we doubt whether a vacant scat
could have been found. We are sick ofsaolding
at these frequent exhibitions of a total want of
a refined literary taste on the part of our citi-
zens,which has for years been a reproach to
our town and people. There are enough who
can and would appreciate an effort like that
of Du. Lonn’s, if they could only be induced
come out. We hope to see such in attendance
at the 2nd lecture this Tuesday evening at
Phoenix Hall.

a word in behalf of "’islur’s Wild Cherry,
prepared by S. W. Fowm: dc 00., of Boston,
because we have seen it tried and know it
to be an efficacious remedy in the cases for
which it is recommended by them. It is n;
new thing, either, but has been before the
public year after year, and advertised in our
columns almost ever since we can remember,
and thoso who have tried it or men it tried,
speak of it as a curative remedy, just as We
do. It will not raise the dead— not put new
lungs or liver into a poor mortal who has
coughed up both—but it will and does cure
hundreds who would soon find themselves be-
yond the reach of human old, but forits time-

SINGING Burbs—The time of the sing-
ing of birds has come. At early morn-
ing their delicious melody may be heard,
all over our beautiful city. Every good
heart, every true heart, every person of
taste, every admirer of the beautiful in
the wonderful works of God, rejoices in
the gracious provison that thus makes all
nature beauty to the eye, and mu‘src to
the ear. TVs are very sorry to find that
we have persons among us who do not
appreciate such things. and who are seen
daily prowling about the cemetery, and
other resorts of the singing birds, gun In
hand, killing all they can, only for the
pleasure as it would seem, of .gratrfymg
their murderous propensities—just at the
time, too, when the birds are making
their nests and raising their young. We
devoutly wish we could prevail upon these
barbarous people, to let the poor [)1de
alone. The statute law of the state Im-
poses a fine of five dollars for each bird
killed, and if theSe miserable maranders
are caught, and there is a watch kept
for them, they may confidently expect a
rigid prosecution. They show no mercy
to the birds, nor respect for the feelings
and wishes of their neighbors, and they
must expect no mercy at the hands of the
public prosecutor.—N. H. Register.

The Verdict at Washington.

No body is surprised at the verdict of the jury at
Washington, which declares that the man who deliber-
ately and barbarously shot down his 'wifc’s paramour
in the street at mid-day, is not guilty of any crime.—
The acquitted mansluyer was greeted with huzzas, and
a. triumplral procession was extemporized by the multi-
tude. The proceedings, after continuing twenty days,
were concluded on Tuesday nrorn ing. The jury took
seventy minutesto determine their verdict A telegram
from Washington says : “ On leaving the box they
stood eleven for acquittal against one for conviction.—
The latter yielded after further reflection. The as-
nouncement of the verdict was followed by enthusiastic
shouts of applause, from a crowd of people who strange-
ly failed to reflect that they were applauding a murder-
er. A triumphnl procession was formed, an oration
was given, and Mr. Sickles was the hero of" the hour -—
Whether the consequences of his act will be a loss of
position in society, or a disappointment of his hopes of
advancement in the Democratic' party, remains to be
seen. We believe that in the face of this verdict and
these demonstrations it remains true of this tragedy

It is said that the negotiations betWecn
the English Government the Atlantic Tel-
egraph 00., and the New York, New
Foundland and London Telegraph Com-
pany, have reached a point which admits
of no doubt about the Government’s guar-
antee of 8 per cent .n the six hundred
thousand ‘ pounds of capital being ac-
cepted. In View of this fact, as we learn
from the same reliable source, the Atlan-
tic Company are actively engaged in ma-
king the most thorough tests of the vari-
ous kinds of cable adapted to the- Atlan-
tic line, and will be prepared to enter in-
to the necessary contracts at an early day.
In the meantime the Company have decr-
ded to expend a sum not exceeding $100,-
000 to resusciate the present cable, and
active operations to this end will be com-
menced as soon as the weather will admit.
The heavy battery of Mr. Henley,
which arrived at St. John’s N. F., late

graph stasiou at Trinity Bay, owing to

Auroral Belt.

The Aurora Borealis is not so frequent
a visitor as it was ten years ago, but we
are occasionally gratified with a good dis-
play of this beautiful phenomenon, The
one which occurred on Friday night last,
(April 29th,) presented one feature of
special interest. During the early part
of the evening there was much auroral
light in the north, and now and. then a
cluster of steamers extending up forty or
fifty degrees. A few minutes before nine
o’clock, in addition to the display in the
northern quarter, a belt begun to'form,
and in a very thort time spanned the
heavens nearly from east to west. It was
about five degrees wide, of variable bright-
ness gently bent about the meridian, and
presented a. Spectacle of great grandeur
and beauty. The northern edge was
most definite, yet both edges Was snfli.
ciently distinct. And the part near the
meridi in was so nearly constant in place
as to present an excellent object for satis-
factory observatiou. At nnrc o’clock,
mean time the arch was central on the
star delta. of the Lia-n, and so remained
for five minutes, and again at 9 h 18 m.
it was in the same position. The arch
faded by degrees, commencing in the east,
breaking up somewhat irregularly, and
before 9 lr. 45 nr it had completely van-
ished—N Il- Courier.

The Colchester Bank Case.

In the Superior Jourt at Norwich, on
Thursday morning, the bonds in Sam’s
case, Were on motion of his counsel, Messrs
Martin \Velles and Charles Chapman
and by consent of the state's attorney,
Mr. Willey, reduced to $1,500. They
were then called and forfeited. Thus
ends the Jones ease, and we suspect sev-
eral other individuals breathe much more
freely. Sam is a social fellow, and didn't
go into that business alone.

It is whispered that Sam pays to the
Colelrester BunkReceivers $25,000, which
with the bond of $1,500, pays all the cir-
culation and the receivers’ and state’s ex-
penses. The same whisper adds. that

use of whatever bills he may have yet on

1152,. Henry Alexis de Tocqueville, the
distinguished author and statesman,
whose death is announced by last steamer
was 54 years of age, having been born
in 1805. He began life as a magistrate,
and held several public stations before he
was sent to this country, in 1831, for the
purpose of'studyiug the condition of our
prisons. On his return he published his
large and well-known work, “ Democra-
cy in America,” which was received with
great favor on both sides of the water,
and is still regarded as a book of authori-
ty. Within two or three years after its
publication the author was elected a mem-
ber of tire-French Academy and of sev—
eral other literary institutions. Iu1837
he took his seat in the legislative body of
France, and won a general reputation by
several speeches. the excellences of which
were acknowledged by all parties, al-
though the speuker was charged with
having tendencies toward Absolutism.—
After the revolution of 1848 he became
a member of tho Constituent and Legis-

MILITARY MATTERS IN New YORK.—
Thc New York Sun mentions the growth
of military feeling as a noteworthy fea-
ture in that city at the present time.—
Every Week, it adds, we hear of new
companies being formed, additimS made
to older ones, and new officers elected.—
A proof of the influence of this military
spirit. is the increased facilities offered by
ball and hotel builders and keepers, for
regimental and division drills. Twenty-
three companies now d rill weekly at the

Gnnrrsu’s DEFENCE or SICKLEs.---Tlrere
is the ring of genuine steel in the follow-
ing remarks of the Boston Courier, on
the speech of Mr. JohnGruham in de-
fence of the murder of Key by Daniel E.
Sicklés :

“ We must protest in the name of the
women of America against the insulting
estimate put upon .emule chastity and
strength of virtue bytlrc argument of Mr
Graham. He commenced by telling the
jury that had Key not been slain, their
own wives and daughters would not have
been safe; that they might be marked
for seduction ; and that they would have
been called upon to ” satisfy the insane
appetite of the deceased.” He then told
the twelve intelligent men before him that
if an action for damages was to be the
only redress against the adultcrer, their
wives lived in a very per-lions atmosphere
and they might as well let the infamy
come at once ; be next stated th t wo-
man was the weaker vessel, that her name
was frailty, and that the strong arm of
the husband was needed to restrain her
within the paths of rcctitude ; and so on,
through his entire address, he was con
stanlly implying that the general charac-
ter of Woman was such that a libertine
had only to beckon her and she would
follow him with eager wantonuess to her
own destruction. It is impossible for us
to know from whom Mr. Graham has
gained his ideas of female virtue; but
either his associations have been most un-
fortunate or else his own nature is deplo-
rably incapable of appreciating the
character of woman, There is no fortress
so impregnublc as the citadel of a virtuous
woman’s heart ; there is a power in the
silent influence of female chastity to make
a strong man qunil and become as an in-
fant. Are we to be told that the only
protection we have against the adulterer
in heart is the fear he has of the husband’s
avenging arm .7 That our wives and sis-
ters have no safeguard in the purity of
their own souls, but that if our hysical
protection is removed they wil fall at
once into the palpable smile! The re-
marks of counsel referred to are insulting
to the dignity of every virtuous woman
in the lead. Shame on that man who
dares to judge of female honor by the (:qu-
duct of that wife and mother who would
go from her husband’s house at the Wave
of u handkerchief to a place of d. liberate
assignation, and there give herself to the
embraces of a paramour 1 As a compen-
sation for weakness of body there is given

Letter of the French Emperor.
A correspondtnt of the National Intel-
ligenccr calls attention to the lbllowing
letter. written by tin. present Emperor 0f
Frans! pcvious leaving this country for
Europe in 18:17, and addressed to Presi-
dent Van .liurcn. The letter is found in
NllCH licgislt-r', vol. 52!, p. 23110 :
0 New Yonrr, June 0, 1837.

Ma. I’llESlDEN'l‘2—I um unwilling to
leave the United States without expres-
iug to your Excellency the regret I feel
in departing without having gone to
Washington to make your ac uaiutence.
Though no ill-fated destiny rought me
to America, I had counted upon leaping
great benefit in my place of exile from
the society of her distinguished men, I
wished to study the manners and institu~
tions of a people who have achieved more
lasting triumphs by their commerce and
their enterprise than we in Europe have
gained by our arms. ‘

I had hoped, under the guardianship
of your free laws, to have traveled over a
country which excites all my sympathy
from the fact that its history and prosper--
ity are intimately blended with the re-
membrance of that which is a glory to
Frenchmen. But imperative duty recalls
me to the Old. World. ' My mother being
dangerously ill, and no political consider-
ations detaining me here I go to England
and shall from thence endeavor to return
to Switzerland.

It is with pleasure, sir, that I enter up-
on tlrcsc details with your Excellency,
since you may have credence to the cal—
umnious surmises respecting me which
have appeared in some of the public jour-
nals. Holding you, sir, us I do, in high
estimation, as the ruler of a free people,
I am happy that you should knew that,
with the name I bear it is not possible
for me to depa rt for an instant from the
path pointed out to file by my conscience
my honor and my duty.

I pray your Excellency to receive this
letter as a procf of my respect for him
who occupies the chair of Washington,
and accept the expression of my regard
and distinguished consideration.

WDuring a recent storm while a
schooner laden with corn on the cob, was
on its passage from Baltimore to Boston,
it was deemed necessary to lighten the
vessel to prevent her fouudcriug. Not
liking the idea of Wasting the raw mute-
riul from which the staff of life is manu-
factured, the Captain sent all hands be-
low to shell corn while he stood on deck
and threw the cobs overboard. We un-
derstand that the Board of Underwriters
intend presenting to this astute Captain
a corn stalk fiddle in token of recognition

ha... The London Times has an edito-
rial on the Sickles affair. It characteri-
zes the husband’s revenge as swift, savage
and sévere. The writer says much inter-
est will be felt in the story of the trans-
action, “from the fact that the unfortu-
nate young wife—and surely she is most
unfortunate l—wus known in the social
circles of London. When Mr. Buchanan
was minister in London, her husband,
Mr. Sickles, was Secretary of Legatlon.
He was accompanied by his wife, a child
in years, and still more a child in appear-
ance. She excited interest in every one
who met her in those days, and many an

English frien 'll grieve at the termina-
tion of her brIc career.”
