Rhis body is dispatching its business with
,- I gsual‘industry. The business of the ses-
sion is fully one week in advance of former
{yen-s. Mr.Perry makes a better and more
1 rapid Speaker than his best friends had any
reasou, to anticipate. in fact we do not see
how-.theré’could well be any improvement in
this respect.

Burglary.
On Saturday night—between the hours of
twelve and one—the Grocery Store of A. J.
Meeker and the Dry Goods Store of H. C.
Bardwoll .1; Co., were entered by the rear
windows and from the Grocery, various arti-
cles of trifling value. including the change in
the money drawer were taken. The rogues
regaled themselves on crackers and cheese,
dried beef and beer, to their hearts’ content,
as is evident from the“ condition of things”
after the discovery of the robbery. Mr.Bard-
well’s loss is about a hundred dollars— con-
sisting principally of dress silks. His aston-
ishment at thegobbery is not so greal, as it
is that they did not steal more while they had
their hand in, as he has on hand a very large
and valuable stock of costly goods. It has
been Mr. B’s custom to sleep in his leX‘0 and
to that end was “ armed and cquiped as in
such cases made and provided,” but on Sat-
cvning the pislols alone were left in the bed.
These, heavily loaded, were taken from their
resting place beneath the pillow, and appro-
priated by the thieves.
The following appears in Saturday eve-
ning’s Bridgeport Farmer, and we have no
doubt are the same gang:
Some burglar or burglars effected an
entrance into the jewelry story of Mr.
Charles W. Wordin, in Wall street last
night by prying open the back door,—
They stole some fifty dollars worth of st0ck -
in the back room belonging to Mr. Steven-
son, and about three or four dollars worth
of old silver, and two or three old rings
which they found “lying around loose,”
belonging to Mr. Wordin. The safe was
. tried but not opened. Mr. Wordin had
some three thousand dollars worth of cus-
tomers watches on hand but these he had
fortunately carried to his house. Ilis
jewelry was locked up in his safe.
The grocery store of Theodore Hall on
Wall street was also entered in the same
manner—by prying open the back door,
——and probably by the same party. Here
the rogues helped themselves to eatables
and drinkables very liberally. They also
took three or four dollars in change which
had been left in the drawer.

Contrary to general expectation the Aus-
trians and French have not yet come to blows.
For some unexplained reasons the Austrians '
have been very dilatory in their movements
and have let the advantage they first had,
slip from them, as instead of crushing the ar-
my of their opponents while it was vastly in-
ferior in numbers, they have allowed it to
gather strength by re-inforcements until it is
now equal to their own, and is every day be-

Fire in Westport.
The Candle Factory adjoining Stfiilcs at
Adams Lumber Yard, and owned by S. B.
Wakeman Esq, was burned in the ground
about 12 ‘ o’clock last night, (May 21st,) to
geihcr with the contents. SuppOscd to have
taken fire from the furnace, as Mr. Wakemau
was at wbrk in the building rather late, pro-
paring no or 40 boxes candles for shipping per
Sloop Gem ; and supposes he must have left
some fir-c undiscovered beneath a largo'boilcr
of Tallow, which he thinks took five and com-
municated with the building. His books and
unpel‘S-Wel‘e nearly. all destroyed. He was
insured for $1200 ; 300 on building,200 on
stock and balance on fixtures. His loss apart
from his insurance will not fall much short of
$1000. Mr. Wakeman ha’d lately bought out
his partner,Mr. F. Sherwood, and taken a
deed of the place. He will feel the loss much
at this time, but he is a go-ahcad,cncrgetic
young man,and will rise above all difficulties.

and what members were present worked n0-

The Times has quite a full docket of crim-
inal cases, &c., for the past week. Three
barns were fired, on Saturday night last ; the
Pnhquioquc Hotel was also entered the same
night and robbed of about 40 dollars worth of
Brandy; The Times’ says that the Barns
were fired under the light of a full moon, be-‘
twecq the hours of 10 and 11 o’clock, one at
the South end of Main street, the property of
Mr. Chauncey Haynes,auother in South street,
owned by Mrs. Laura Barnum, and the other
atV-Mountainvillc, belonging to Mr. Seeley
Harris. The fire in the first named was extin-
guished without much damage to the barn ——
At the second, Mrs. Barnum’s, the flames had
further progressed when discovered, and the
absence of water rendered the engines,which
were promptly on the spot, entirely useless.
The siding of the barn was removed, and by
the use of buckets of water, in the hands of
active citizens, the frame work was saved in
a slightly damaged state. Mr Harris was
also so fortunate as to discover the fire in
time to save his building without much
injury.
A little daughter of James Crosby had two
of her fingers cut off near the first joint, in a
cutting machine, also on Saturday.
Jonathan Webb, an habitu'Il drunkard, on
Saturday took a large, dose of Laudauum,
enough to kill an ordinary man, stole a quan-
tity of Alcuhol on Sunday afternoon, and on
Monday had an attack of Delirium Tremens,‘
during which he tried to commit suicide by
cutting his throat, first with a case knife, and
then with a razor,but his wounds were prompt-
ly sewed up, and he is now in a fair way of
recovery. ‘
The Times has also an account of the dis-
Norlh Salem,N. Y., who very suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared on the 3d instant.—
It appears he left home to collect a milk bill
duc him, and failing to return, a search was
made,aud a reward offered for his recovery,
but no information was obtained of him until
Saturday. On that day a man at work in a
thickly wooded swamp about a mile from 1111'
residence of the missing man, found the body
of Mr. Vail lying in ahalf recumbent posi-
tion, with a strip of slippery elm bark,fas ten-
ed around hisncck and attached to a limb of
a tree. The body was in an advanced stage
of decomposition. One hand was thrust into
his pocket, and clasped in it was found the
sum of $92 in bills, which he had collected
and was 'rcntly on his way home when
the idea of self—destruction entered his mind.
The deceased wasin easy circumstances. but
subject to occasional attacks of insanity, du-
which he had on a previous occasion attempt-
ed to destroy himself, but was frustrated by a
timely discovery of his design.- Mr. Vail was
a man highly respected by the community in
which he ‘resides. This is the third case of
suicide by hanging that has occurred in the
town of North Salem within the last eighteen
months.

New Book,
POPULAR Grower - a series of lectures read before the
Philosophical Institution of Edinburgh, with dcscrip
tivc sketches from a fir-ologist’s Portfolio ; by Hugh
Miller. With an InlI-mlnctoryresume of the progress
of ticulflglcnl Science within the last two years ; by
Mrs Miller. Boston : Gould & Lincoln.
This volumh furnishes an entertaining account of the
several natural processes by which tho earth has been
furnished with the various strata of which it is com-
posed ; and, a lllIough its deductions may conflict with
common opinion, the writer was a man of no common
order ofinfclligcnce in matters of Geology. The Ice-
tures are familiarly written, easily understood and
ought to be in the possession of every student of Geolo-
gy. The work is splendidly got up.
The themes which “Popular Geology"
supports are as follows :—
“ The primary rocks were deposited under water, but
constantly exposed to a seething heat.
The Silurinns were formed at the bottorn of a deep
sea, much of it below the zero oflife. .
“The Old Red Sandstone was a continent of mud
slowly emer lug from an ocean of mud.
“ The Coalgwas the product ofa land of'forests ofcone.
hearing trees, repeatedly sunk and rte-elevated.
“ The New Red Sandstone he Separates info the Per-
main (the oldest, and hearing some fossils) and the
Triassic—which bear innumerable footprinfs of birds
and reptiles, impressed .while in a state of yielding,
plastic sand. But within the outer limits of these two
systems, one creation of organIc life ended and another
began. . , . .
“The Lias was a shallow-sea burialsplacc, which be-
ing lifted, was the basis of the Ooolite.
u The ()oolifc was an estuary in a land of marshes
hovered over, trampled and inhabited by dragons.
u The Wcolden was a river bed, in which are deposi-
ted the relics of half sea, linlf' land monsters.
h The Chalk was an ocean-bottom, milky white with
the skeletons of animolculaz.
“ 'I‘he Tertiary was a land formation ofa general New
England look, with some unquenchcd volcanoes still
smoking and shaken with frequent earthquakes. .
“ The Drift was a period of glaciers and icebergs,
which ground the softer rocks to clay and sand, and
formed the basis of the alluvial soils, out of which man
and the existing plants and animals procure their
food.”

3%“ It would by a refreshing variety
if the democrats of this legislature would
put up for office somebody who had been
long enough in their party to get his col-
or ” set.” Are they a little ashamed to
put up full blooded Lecomptonitcs ? Or
do they‘think it shrewd policy to set aside
their own faithful adherents and run
around the edges of the Republican party
offering plums to Smith or Jones, whom
they measure by themselves and think is
cross enough at. some fancied slight to be
coaxed over to their side 1’
Their candidate for president of the
Senate was Mr. Calhoun of Bridgeport,
lately a whig. For speakerof the House
they supported Mr. Deming, a whig all
over and nothing—or very little—else.—
And when they came to the selection of
a railroad commissioner, with a lively
sense of favors post and future, they gave
their sufl'ro-gcs to Green Kendrick of Wu-
terbury, WIIOSO inlcnlhms in getting up
that little tea party ticket for Arnold’s
benefit were good‘lhought be accomplish-
ed nothing—nbout as usual. Their effort
to reward him coming to the some profit-
able end, they went entirely out of the
lines and took up Henry Hammond, one
of the founders (if the American party in
this State and still a warm friend of its
principles, though acting with the Repub-
licans. Did they hope to convert him to
Lecomptonism? Or did they imagine
that his warm personal friends were weak
enough to accept their aid In overturning
the fair decision of the Republican can-
cus ? Itht ever their motive they Were
as successful as usual.
Their next attempt was to substitute the-
namc of Thomas Cowles for that of Mr.
Lockwood for bank commissioner. Mr.
Cowles was once an active \Vhig and
then an ardent Free Soiler.’ It was kind
in them to push him for a place which he
could not got, for his labor and rewards
have been as reciprocally anuanlc as
Green Kcndrick’s. Since his perversion,
Formington, once a. somewhat doubtful
town, has settled upon from 75 to 125
anti-Democratic majority, and he has
been compelled to remain in private life
and raise admirable cattle.
On the resolution appointing Zebulon
Brockway state prison director, they re-
membered the services of J. G. Lamb of
Norwich,_ American, who ran a third
ticket for senator last year, with Green
Kcndrick’s sort of success, and this year
threw biinsclfinto the Sidney Deana con-
gressional humbug with the usual good
luck. ,7 Perhaps, however, Mr. Hovey in-
cited this grateful nud abundant return
for exertions of those Americans who
caused his election, and thereby saved the
constitution, on at least one occasion,fron1

there are a few from which anything like
a satisfactory report has been received.”
Births. The whole number returned
for the last year, is 11,299, a decrease of
50 from the preceding year ; of this num-
ber 5,872 were males, 5,360 females, and
of 67,. the sex was not ascertained. Ex-
clusive of whose sex were not reported,
the proportion was 52,28 per cent. of
males, and 47.72 per cent. of females a
proportion of males slightly less than in
the previous year, when calculated in the
same manner, it was 52.82 per cent. of
males, and 47.18 per cent. of females.—
'l‘hc most prolific months appear to have
been August and March. Of illegitimate
births, 89 were indicated. Of plurality
births 115 cases were reported. In the
town of South lVindsor, one lady gave
birth to triplets, October 23, 1857, and
to twins, October 13, 1858, making five
children within a year. ’
Jl’fnrriagca—Jl‘he whole number of mar-

marriages has decreased in every year
since 1855, when 4,286 were registered.
The decrease in marriages appears to have
been, in 1858, among the foreign popula-
tion, for the number in which both parties
were Americans, has Increased 111 ov’er
those in 1857. Of those where both par-
ties were American, 2,499 ; both foreign,
900; American males and foreign-born

American females, 111.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN \Vnrsnrowx.—-
On Sunday morning,r lost, as Den. Lucius
Wpodward of \Vutertown was riding to
church in company with his wilc'ond a
little girl who lived in his family, the
horses became unmanageable while descn -
ding a steep hill, and ran away, throw-
ing out the occupants of the wagon.—
W’oodward was first thrown out with
gre violence, striking his head on a
sharp stone, rendering him insensiblc.——-
A little further on Mrs. W. was thrown
out, and the little girl jumped or was
thrown out a short distance beyond. All
were to much hurt to go for assistance
and it was some time before any arrived.
The sufferers were then placed on a bed
and conveyed to their home. Two seri-
ous wounds were found upon the head of
Mr. Woodward—one on .thc front and
the other on the back of the skull, from
the effects of which he still lies insenSIble
and his recovery is looked upon as ex-
tremely doubtful. Mrs, W. though bad-
ly bruised is recovering and the girl up.-
pcars to have escaped with but slight in-
juries.-— I’l’alerbm-y American.

Mr. Pardee Inclcd that the bzll be laid on the

thought the amendments were not of suffic-
ient importance to demand a re-printing of
the bill. Mr. Pardee insisted that the rule
was imperative, and that the amendments af-
fected the bill in an important manner. Did
not think it the business of this legislature to
incorporate railroad companies in Illinois,
and if it was done should insist that it be
done by rule. The motion folay on the fa-
ble was decided in the affirmative by the cast-
ing vote of the chair. Adjourned.

SthATE—Pl'flyer by Rev. Mr. Fisher.
The special order of the day, the question
of the appropriation of $2,500 to the State
Agricultural society, came up, and the resolu-
tion read.
Mr. lioag moved to make the appropriation
$1500 instead of 32,500.
Dr. Gold regretted that the senator, had
made such a motion. A less sum than $2,500
would not fulfill the purposes intended by
the society. He advocated the objects and
usefulness of' the society, in elevating the far-
ming interest, and urged that the annual ap-
propriaton should not be reduced.
On motion of Mr. Calhoun the resolution
was laid on the table.
The bill relating to engrossing bills, etc.,
amended and passed by the House, was taken
up. The amendments were discussed and ad-
vocated by Mr. Willey, as placing the whole
matter more definitely umlcr the charge of
the secretary of state. The amendmentswere
adopted and the resolution passed.
The resolution for incorporation of the Chi-
cago and St. Louis It. R. (Jo. was taken from
the table and read. One or two trifling
amendments were agreed to. Mr. Welles and
Mr. Clark stated the circumstances of the road
and its conditions. showing that the act ofin
corporation Is needed to enable the bondhold-
ers and other creditors to secure their rights.
Mr. Willey thought it out of the province
of this legislature to charter arailroad corpo
ration outside ol'this state, however much it
might tend to relieve unfortunate creditors.
Mr. Clark instanced several corporations
now or oerctofore existing in this state, oper-
ating wrthout the limits of the state, to mine
copper at Lake Superior, or to help settle
Kansas.cfc. ‘
Mr. Pardce thought it out or place to call
upon this Illinois railroad company to report
to the railroad commissioners of this state as
our home cfinpanies do, and moved to strike
out the Ioth section which makes such pro~
vision ; carried.
Mr. Wooster advocated the measure as nec-
essary for the pfotection ofConnecticut cred-
itors, who could obtain nothing as individu-
als,but as a corporate body might get the
road in their possession, from the hands of
Gov. Matteson and others, and so secure a
part of their debt.
Mr. Calhoun called attention to the liberal
provision for the issue of notes and bonds.— 9.
Mr. Wooster explained.
Mr. Pardcc objected to mixing up our laws
with those of Illinois. He protested against
doing unything more than sending these men
on their way rejoicing.
Dr. Gold moved to lay the resolution on
the table and make it the special order for to-
morrow ; carried.

cultural Society in Lilchfield Co; laid on the

Report favorable to the petition of the East
Windsor Theological institute for authority
to hold more eslale.
Mr. Grant of South Windsor gave a brief
history of the institute and opposed the ex-
emption of more property from taxman.—
He moved to amend so as to make all over
$50,000 taxable.
Mr. Bugbcc gave the facts as presented to
the committee, and said that to adopt the
amendment would be departing from the
usage of the legislature, in giving cnco_uragc-
mcnt toall institutions of learning whichurc
assisled by legacies. .
Mr. Roberts, of Dorian, thought If a 1mm
hodgonc till late in life it was time to_ re-
form. Young men studying for the ministry
moy become lawyers,aud they do not receive
credit for their piety. He thought all the
PI‘Operty in the State ought to be taxed, and
inotvcd to amend by striking out the $50,000,
05 .
M" limeliway thought it was not deserting
the policy of the state to fix a limit to the
amount WhiCh shall be held. He was opposed
to the "Sue manner in which the resolution
gave them Power to hold property the income
0i WbICh should not exceed $12,000. There
was no W“? ‘0 diswver when that amount
was reachfll, and hr moved to recommit with

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syr up.
We have been repeatedly called upon to notice the
various quack medicines that are daily thrust beforotho
public as curative: for all diseases that “ flesh illicit
to,” but have never complied with such requests, bo-
cuuse many of them are merely manufactured and sold
for the benefit of the manufacturer’s purse. We have,
however a few words to say in regard to the medicine
above-named. We have tried that and know it will
prove beneficial to all who use it in case of children
teething. It is really a comfortable idea to retire at
nights and know that we shall not be disturbed by the
cries of an infant. We believe Mr. Winslow’s Soothing
Syrup hasbecn well tried in this village, and hive heard
it highly recommended by all who have made use of the
article. Let all who have children suffering with
their teeth give it a trial, and we are sure they will be-
perfectly satisfied with the result.

men in our land have given their written certificates
relative to the cures effected in their own person; by

from persons who are averse to see their names in print
are perfectly over-whelmln‘. -
The following from a highly respectable gentleman,‘
speaks for itself 2-— '
EAS'I' Tncxroa, Mass, [chi-9,1863.
To the Editor of the Portland Mirror,—Str ' .
Oxrosxnrsn Brmns ——-For more than fwenty-fivo
years 1 have been a sufferer from the dyspepsin. Be.
sides trying the patience of my family physicians in
the almost useless trial of their various prescription, I
have tried a great variety of patent medicines with a
similar result. Through the kindness of my physician
I received last March, hall'a dozen bottles ofthe OXY-
GENATED BI'I‘I‘ERS. I began to use them without'sny
hope of deriving help from them. Being determined to
give them a fair trial, I continued their nse,-but with-
out any preceptible benefit till Julio. ‘
Since then I have gradually improved in health till I
am entirely free from acidity of the stomach, and-from
the consequent flatulency, and the awful and almost
distracting sick headache, which often, ford-ya togeth-
er has wholly unfilled me for stud and for all other
ministerial duties, and rendered -Ii 0. a burden. I feel
that I owe it as an expression of gratitude toMessrs
I-‘owle kCo., and also a duty to the public, to recom—
mend their Oxygcnuted Bitters, as in my estimation, a
sun- remedy for that most trymg most vexing, and cru-
el of all diseases, to which poo' human fleshis heir the
dyspepsia. Having suffered so long and tried so many
different remedies with no good result, I can recommend
the nygenated Bitters with a confidence few other:
can. If any of the readers of the Mirror are suffering,
I beg them to make trial of these Bitters without delay.

Dr. Hanson’s Vegetable Chemical Powders will
break up colds at once, without sweating, dieting, ln~

and burning compounds, herb tens, candies, bats-Ins,
or any other disagreeable, inconvenient and nauseating
doses, they do not cause the least unpleasant nym-
toms—even if taken in large doses they create only a
thirst, which being allayed with water, clams-bl.
warmth and moisture at the surface is soon on rien-
ced. When taken as directed, they break up ti: c011
and arrest its effects, and the only operation perceived
is a mysterious and unaccountable disappearance of
all symptoms. as feverishncss, chills, lameness, dart-
ing pains, dull heavy pains, tightness of the chest,
hoarseness, cough, sore-throat, croup, entnrrh, head-
ache, etc.
The Vegetable Chemical Powders no to colds what
vaccidstion IS against Small Pox, and quinine for Ague.
They are a specific remedy for the prevention and cure
of a specific disease. And by breaking colds with them
the system is not weakened and deranged, and render-
ed more subject to repeated attacks, but to rather
strengthened and fortified against them. They arrest
croup instantly and permanently, and by their timely
use, coughs, catarrh, bronchitis, fevers, rheumatism,
sore throats, consumption, and all diseases primarily
