I HIS article has been thoroughly teste‘by ' builders, Architects, and others, and the experience Ofycars has proved it to be the cheapest and most durable rooting in use. We Call attention to the following facts : 1st—It is fire and water proof. 2(l—From its great elasticity it is not inju- riously affected by extremes of heat and cold. 3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs, whether steep or flat, and is not in want of constant repairs, as is the case with metal and other roofs. 4th—Tlie cost is only about One-Half that of Tin, and it is twice as durable. It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs, without removing the shingles, which is a great desidcratum to parties who do not wish to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru- ined, while repairs are being made. Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re- paired with Gutta. Porcha Cement, and prevented from further corrosion and leaking thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof for many years. ‘ Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk. All orders b ' letter will receive prompt at- tention. . F. HUNT, South Norwalk. INSURANCE.

Sings a maiden by a river, Sings and sighs altemately; In my heart shall fiow forever, Like a stream her melody. ”Midst her hair of fiaxen hue Tend'reat buds and blossoms teem ; And her beauty glows as through Hazy splendors of a dream. Like her melody's rich bars, Or a. golden flood ofstsra. Bustling like a summer rain, Through her fingers falls the grain ; Sivells her voice in such sweet measure, I must join for very pleasure ; But my lay shall be of her, Bright and lovely Winnower ! ' When her song to‘laughter merges. Melts the music of her tongue, Like the voice of silver surges Over golden pebbles flung, From her hands the grainless chafi‘ On the light wind dances free ; But a sigh will check her laugh,— “So much worthlessness, ah me, Mingles with the good i" saith she, Yet the grain is fair to ace; Laughter like some sweet surprise, Lights again her dewy eyes, And her song hath drowned her sighs ; Therefore will I sing of her, Bright and lovelywmnowerl Down beside as fair 9. river Sings the maiden, Pony, In my heart shall flow forever Her undying melody ; Through her rosy fingers fall Golden grain of richest thought ; But the grainless chaff“ is all By the scattering breezescaught ; "So much worthlessness, ah me, M ingles with the good 1" saith she, Yet the grain is bright to see, Therefore laughs she merrily— Laughs and sings in such sweet measure.

Around this lovely valley rise The purplclhllls of Paradise. 0h, softly on you banks of haze Her rosy face the Summer lays l Becalmed along the azure sky, The argoalcs of cloudland lie, Whose shores, with many a shining rift, Far off their pearl-white peaks uplift. Through all the long midsummer day The meadow-sides are sweet with hay. I seek the coolest-sheltered seat Just where the field and forest meet— thre grow the pine-trees tall and bland, The ancient oaks austere and grand. And fringy roots and pebbles fret The ripples of the rivulet. I watch the mowers as they go Through the tall grass, a white-sleeved row; With even stroke their acythes they swing, In tune their merry Whetstone ring ; . Behind the nimble youngsters run And toss the thick swarths in the sun ; - The cattle graze ; while warm and still. Slopes the broad pastures, basks the hill, And bright, when summer breezes break, The green wheat crinkles like a lake. The butterfly and bumble bee Come to the pleasant woods with me ; Quickly before me runs therail, High up the lone wood-pigeon sits, And the woodpecker peeks and fills. Sweet woodland music sinks and swells, The brooklet rings its tinkllng bells, The swarming insects drone and burn, The partridge beats his throbbing drum. The squirrel leaps among the boughs, And chatters in its leafy house. The oriole flashes by; and, look i ‘ Into the mirror of the brook, Where the vain blue bird trims his coat, Two tiny feathers full and float. As silently, as tenderly, The down of peace descends on me. Oh, this is peace 1 I have no need 0f friend to talk, of book to read ; A dear companion here abides ; Close to my thrilling heart He hides ; The holy silence in His voice : I lie and listen, and rejoice.

Such is the caption over one of the Far- mer's leaders concerning the action of the Douglas National Committee, in issuing their manifesto concerning the hodgepodge- 'limping-and-halting Union ticket which the Farmer proposes to tinker up. This mani- festo is issued by the Democratic National Executive Committee and signed by Miles Taylor of Louisiana, Geo. E. Pugh of Ohio, and Albert Rust of Arkansas, and occupy- ing six columns in the N. Y. Herald. After a full review of the whole field, they regard a union with no more favor than Mr. Dicki- son and his rapturous applauders do: It remains for us to add, as the sentiment of the Democratic National Committee, and as the universal sentiment of the supporters of Douglas 85 Johnson, that no compromise whatever is admissible. We desire to ascer- tain the strength Of the national democracy in every State, north and south, and we in- tend to ascertain it. We have made no prop- osition for a joint electoral ticket in any state; and we earnestly exhort you to reject such propositions indignantly, whenever and wherever made. If we have any friends in any state, let those friends call a state con- vention at once and nominate a full electoral ticket, pied ed to the exclusive support of Don las do ohnson. We can agree to noth- ing e so, because to acknowledge the right of a factions minority to dictate their own terms of cO-operation— asufl'er them to violate the solemn professions of the democratic party and trample under foot our democratic usa- ges—would be to disband the national or- ganization at once. . 6?” Why don’t you unite? an.-.

State, New Jersey. A Dilemma; How I first met my Wife. There was always a mystery hanging about a certain way that Morgan had, an in which he was always joined heartily by his wife— my own cousin—May Stevens that had been —a way that troub ed my curiosity much, until the one eventful evening that it was sat- isfied by hearing the reason why. It was simply this: that every time a word was spoken that led to the period when Charley Morgan first met my cousin May, they would both laugh very heartin ; but would always refuse to tell at what they lau bed. This was certainly ve provoking, an I had little hesitation in tel ing them so —not once, but many times—at which they lau hed more heartily than ever, and always en ed by kissing each other and looking very affectionate. I determined to have a solution of the mat- ter, if for no other reason than that it worried me. I am but a woman, and having pleaded to the possession of curiosity, I see no reason why sometimes it should not be divulged With this resolution, I set forth one even' , when we three, Morgan, May, and myself, were drawn up before the fire and fairly set- tled for a talk. There was no use mincing matters, was my first idea, and with this thou ht 1 dashed boldly in with: “ r. Morgan"——I usually call him Charlgy but I was desious of showing that I was re - ly in earnest—“Mr. Mor n, why do you always laugh and look at ay when the sub- jccftpf your first meeting with her is spoken O V This I was sure, was a simple question; and yet, instead of answering it in a simple Way, they went back, both of them, on the old plan, and laughed as though the words I had just spoken were the very best joke in the world I could do nothin , Of course, but look grave and solemn, whic l, in a few mo- ments, brou ht both to looking the same way and1 then ay spoke to me seriously, and 3m : “Cousin Jane, you take ourlaughing much more earnestly than I thought you would.— It is only a little memory between Charley and I that brings the laugh; to us it is adroll remembrance, but perhaps, in telling it, there would be nothin to amuse any one.” This explanation brought back my good humor in an instant, and with a smile I said; “Now, May, this is really unkind of on ; for so long have you excited my curiosity that, even were the story not worth telling, you should tell it.” “Well, cousin Jane shall have that story, May, I will tell it myself to her." At this declaration, I was surprised to see May flush up to a bright red, and break out rather vehemently with: “ No, Charley that is really too bad! You shall not do it, sir. If cousin Jane is to have the story, I will tell her myself." And then, after a pause, she said, “When we are alone.” “You shall do no such thing, Madame May,” was Charley's laughing response.— “You shall do no such thing. This time I shall have my way, and cousin J one shall not have her curiosity excited any more without being satisfied.” I saw there was to be a discussion on that point, but I knew that in some way, Charley was to come off victor; so I, merely saying that I would be back in a. few minutes, step- ped out of the room, and Walked about the garden until I felt sure the point was sttled, when I went back, and found Charley and May looking as happy as birds, and laughing the old laugh as usual. As‘I entered, Char- ley drew up the rocking-chair, and, after see- ing me safely de osited in its depths, said: “N ow, cousin ane,I shall tell you the story about how I first met my wife: “ It is just five years ago this summer that I was granted exemption for a month from my desk, and went down with my chum, Horace Hyatt, to his father's in old Mon- mouth. the garden of that unjustly abused I should never have for- gotten that visit, even though I had not there met with an adventure that had its influence on the whole future of my life. I should re- member it for the real, true hospitality of the solid, old-time comfort of the farm, and the quiet way in which, within a couple of days aftermy arrival, I was put into possession of it, and made to feel that it all belonged to me to do just what I pleased with. There were plenty of fish, and we fished; plentyof wood- cock, and we shot. All this shall e spoken within proviso. I say we—by which, letit ,be understood, I do not mean Horaces two sisters, Carrie and Nettie, as having partici- pated in all these sports. They rode, to be sure—and charmingly they did it; they fished and I am obliged to confess were much luck- ier than their guest. But they did not shoot though I abal not exalt over their lack of this accomplishment—they were charming enough without it. I am sure I shall excite no jealousy by declaring that with one excep- tion, which I shall not mention here, Carrie and Nettie H att were the most charming 'rls, that Iha ever seen, and I was just hes- ~ inning as to which of them I should fall des- peratel in love with, when my calculations were a l disturbed by an accident—for so I suppose I must call it—thon 11 real] seemin like a special providence. at is was, shall tell in the best way I know how. “For Some days after my arrival at the farm, my curiosit had been much excited by the occasions panegyric lavished by the young ladies upon a once school-fellow of their own, May Stevens by name, who was, according to their highly-colored account the most perfect thing in the shape of a woman than living. I tired to persuade in self that nothing in that line could surpass ettie and Carrie; but still the repetition of this May Stevens hunted me, and came like a. shadow across my new-ham passion. I formed, at last, an imaginary May Stevens; and, do what I Would, the figure was with me. At last I was worked into an agony of curiosity, and trembled with some great purpose, which should bring before me the object of my thoughts and of the two-sisters‘ continual conversation. In what this would have end- ed it' is impossible for me all this time to say, had I not heard, one morning as I entered the breakfast room, the startling words from Nettie: “ And so she is coming at last. I’m so glad i” . “ Whether it was that the train of my thou hts was upon that point at the moment or w at, I cannot say; but I knew directly the whole matter. I saw Carrie with an 0 en letter in her hand, and coupling it with ettie’s words, I knew that the hitherto only heard of May Stevens was about to become a reality. I had no need to ask questions.— All the information was proffered. May Ste- vens—the incomparable May—was to spend a month at Hyatt’s and they were to expect her many moment; though, as thelettcr read she might not be down for a week to come. .A week l—it was an age, a century; and I was in a. flutter of excitement. - My long standing passion, of nearly two weeks dura- tion, for Nettie and Carrie, was forgotten in an instant, and my whole mind was absorbed in making the best figure possible before this iiew queen. With this idea, I began to look into my wardrobe. I had come down with aufilcrent clothes to answer all ordiua pur- poses, including, of course, Nettie andgariie; but the new goddess was certainly worthy of a uewpg on my part, and certainly should have it._ This resolution was made within fifeen minutes after hearing the anouncement of her intended coming; and before two hours had gone by, I was Whizzing on my way to town, to carry out that resolve. My choicest morsels of wardrobe should be offered on the shrine of May Stevens. “ I had absented myself on the plea ofa sudden memory of a business neglected, and faithfully promised Nettie and Carrie that the next day should see me down at Hyatt’s again, to stay out the month that May Ste- vlcns, the wonderful, was about to pass with t em. ‘ The racking of brain that day, to create a grand ensemble of cOstume—sonicthing be- yond all criticism, that should at the first glance strike the beholder silent with admi- ration—was indeed terrible. The labor of writing “Paradise Lost” was nothing to it.— It was early in the day when I arrived at my city rooms, and for six hours I dressed and re-dressed,oornpared and rejected an selec- ted; and atthe end of that time I h laid out those portions of my» wearable goods in which Ihsd decided to make my first ap- Peurance before May Stevens. It wanted still several hours to sunset. Having got safely through the rent object of my visrt, thought it won (1 not be a bad idea for me to take the last train and return the same night to Hyatt’s, instead of waiting over till mom- ing. No sooner said than done. I packed my habilimrnts,and away I went. Whizzing and pufiing over an uninteresting road is prov- ocative of sleep. So I found it when the shades of evening fell; for to the best of my recollec- tion, I was in the very midst of a dream, in which May Stevens, attired in book muslin and pale blue satin,ona purple cloud and ad- miringly inquired who my tailor was ? Just as I was about to inform her, there came a crash, and for a moment I was not entirely certain whether it was the cloud that had ex- ploded, or myself had tom some rtion of my apparel that was overstained. t requir- ed but a moment to awaken me to the fact that both presumptions were wrong. It was our train—the 0:26—that had run oil: the track smashin things generally, and smiling the contents of several baggage cars alone.r the road, to say nothing of frightening half alum- dred passen ers into a condition bordering on lunacy. his was a pretty state of things and to make it still worse, I was ei ht miles from my destination, though as it at erwards appeared, not a mile from the next village, where, I heard it canvassed, a tavern, supper and beds could be had. I was disposed to make myself agreeable, and, accordingly, rendered all the assistance in my power to the unprotected females, for which I got my reward on arriving at the haven of refuge—the promised tavern—~by being informed that such a thing as a bed for the night was an impossible idea, and that with some twenty more of the male gen- der, must be content with chairs, while the beds were appropriated to the gentler sex.——, Slightly disgusted, I swallowed m supper, an looked out upon the night. t was a beautiful moonlight, and verging on to ten o’clock. By Jove, I would walk over to Hy- att's. No sooner said than done. Giving my carpet bag into the hands of the landlord with the most emphatic charges for its safety and punctual deliver at Hyatt’s next morn- ing, at any expense, set forth. Eight miles is a trifle, and just as my watch marked the quarter after midnight, I went up the lane that led to the house._ They were early folks at the fami—early to bed and early up. walked around the house trying. each door and window for an entrance, but each and every one was fastened. It was of no conse- quence; my bed room window looked out upon the roof of the piazza; I would not dis- turb the house by knocking; abit of climbing would do the business, and should the win- dow be fastened, I would tap and awaken: Horace, who was my room mate/and bed fel- low. The thing was executed as soon as thought of, and my hand on the window, which yielded and I stood in my own room. By the moonlight which streamedjin I saw that the bed was occupied, and by the heavy breathing I knew that Horace was in a deep sleep. I would not, therefore, awaken him, but save the story of my mishap for the fol- lowing day. \Vith this resolution I slipped quietly into bed, and in three minutes was oblivious. What ought I to have dreamed that night? But I shall not anticipate; I lay facing the windows as the sun pecped up above the dis- tant hills, and scattered the gray mists of the morning. My bed-fellow was breathing heavily, but it was broad (la vlight and there was no more sleep in me, so was determined that Horace should wake up and hear the story of the railroad breakdown. I turned quickly and gave the sleeper a sudden shake. As rapidly as my own motion my bedfellow who had laid with his back towards me, sprang into a sitting position. There are such L rprises as are without a terror,whicli actual- fl: deprive us of the power of speeclmmtil the brain has time to act and reason. Such sur- prises do not generate screams and finals.— Tbcy are expressed by open-mouthed and silent wonder. This was the case with my- self aud bed fellow, as we sat upright and stared. Right by my side, with her face within two feet of my own, sat a young Wo- nian, not more than seventeen, with great, dark, hazel eyes, and such great masses of brown curls, tucked away under the neatest little night cap that ever was. She had gath- ered the bed clothes with a spasmodic jerk, up about her throat, and with the most rigid, astonished look, as though doubting whether she was sleeping or waking, gazed steadily in my eyes. Memory serves a man but little in such cases, but if my memory serves me ri ht, it was I who first spoke. I blurted out With 2' “How came you here ? The figure stared still in speechless aston- ishment, but in a moment, as though awa- kened from its stupefaction, spoke: ‘ “Are you Charles Morgan?" “Yes," was my rather subdued answer. “Well, then, Mr. Morgan," said the figure, by this time speaking as calm and with quite as much dignit as though in the drawing room, “I am ll ay Stevens, and I was put in this, after an unexpected arrival. Horace had gone over to a neighbor‘s, a few miles Op, before got here, and was not to return till today. That is how I was put in this room.” So here I was, sitting sis a of: to this May Stevens, that mythical lady, for the first meet. ing with whom I had intended to get up such a superlative toilet. A nice style of introduc- tion and a nice style Of toilet, ? And she— slie by this time was as cool as the that of De- cember. and sat looking me right in the eye, as Imade some scrambling explanation Of my being in that extraordinary position. It wasa lame explanation wonderfully mixed up with irrevelant matter, and staniniered and stuttered through in a way that should have disgusted any sensible person. She seemed to be seriously pondering during the: recital, and at its end, looking at me as though ask- ing the most simple question in the world, said: “What’s to be done ‘3" “Let me jump out Of the window as I came in,” said I, in a sickly tone of voice, for the thought came to me, that to achieve this end, I must make some desperate display of myself in a style of costume which I deprecated.— She relieved me instantly with: “N 0, that will not do, there are people moving about and you will be seen.” It was now my turn to stammer out: “What’s to be done ‘f" For I saw that the little hazel—eyed girl was superior to me in presence of mind and energy Of action.— Sbe did not wait long to answer my ques- tion. “You must lie still here while I get up.— Wlien I have left the room, you can rise, dress and go away at the first opportunity,’ was her response, delivered in a quiet, busi- ness like manner. And so I did, under May Steven’s com- mand. I buried my intruding head under the bed clothes, and kept it well covered till I heard the retreating footsteps on the stairs. which was but a few minutes, though it secured an age, and then with a. desperate bound I sprang from the bed, and turnedthe key on the departed one. It was the_ quick- est dressing I ever made, and I Will ven- ture to say that no man ever sneaked out of his own apartment more stenlthily than I did. That morning we met. May Stevens and I,- at the breakfast table—I in the character of the newly arrived that morning—and were formally introduced, during the ceremony of which we astonished every one present, and planted a thorn of wonder in the sides of Nettie and Carrie, by bursting simultaneous- ly into a hearty laugh, which we never fail to repeat when the memory of our first meet- ing comes up. - And now, Cousin Jane, you have the whole story of how I first met my wife.” -<.-- WThe Chicago Journal, Breckenridge paper, by nature, but Douglas by circumstan- ces, after delay, puts up the flag of the latter with this cheerful prognostication: “The division every day. becomes more markéd. The prospect ofharmoniiius action, to any extent, becomes more and more dim. A‘ fatal malice seems to have eaten into our very hearts. A Cimmerian darkness thick- ens along the line of our political vision.— We rush upon our fate.” Connecticut. I ~OUR NORWALK CORRESPONDENCE. Nonthn HOTEL, Aug. 4, 1860. Norwali.‘ as a Summer Resort and Scenery—Ila Claim upon the Travelling Omnnmm'lg— Hotel (fl-c. I notice occasional communications frmn Stratford, Fairfield, the, but none from here, one of the most prominent places on the north shore of the sound for seekers after pleasure, novelty or health, and only two hours from New York. I assure you I was disappointed to find Norwalk such a delightful place in which to spend the summer months. We have many fine drives—there are none more so. On the the east to Westport and Saugntuck, only three miles distant, and “Compo Pomt," of revolutionary notriety, with its sandy beach; on the west, Darien and Stamford tempt us with shady roads; on the north we have Wil- ton, with its fine agricultural district, each farm almost a garden; Reading, With its “Devil’s Den” and other romantic mountain gorges, caves, precipices, &.; Ridgefield, from whose elevated summit (the highest in this section of the country) the sound, sixteen miles distant, can be seen, as well as the sur- rounding country on all sides; on the south we have on the east side of the harbor Greg- ory’s Point where we find a first class hotel kept by D. H. Nutter; here we can enjoy the luxury of a salt water bath without any dan- ger from ,“undertow.” Rondon Point, on the west side of the harbor, is another drive of six miles, which one never can forget.— Such a grove one rarely sees. Norwalk has one advantage over every other place on the sound for beautiful scenery. There are forty or fifty islands surrounding her harbor, which, when seen from the “Rocks,” Grummond’s Hill and other points, added wonderfully to the beauty of the view. They are of all sizes, from a moderate sized rock to a large farm. Every day, fishing and picnic parties go down to the island and en- jO an aggravated appetite under the shade a orded by the groves. The beautiful villas which are scattered all over the prominent peaks, hill sides and val- leys are all of recent construction. The New York and New Haven Railroad has brought a great many commuters, who reside here and do business in New York. What a busy scene we have in the morning and evening? Hundreds of the most splendid carriages and noble horses in the world dash here and there on the broad avenues of this delightful place towards some point where a view of the is- lands may be had, sleeping in quiet beauty, dotting the space midway in the horizon, while between them and the long drawn line in the extreme distance, defining the location of Long Island are hundreds Of white sails, *which, going in all directions, exhibit some- what the quantity of business carried on over the waters of the Sound. Norwalk has one great claim on the trav- eling community which they readily under- stand :tnd admit, viz: a. “good hotel." The Norwnlk Hotel. by E. Peck, Esq, formerly of Bridgeport, is beautifully located amid a grove of fine old trees almost in the centre of the borough. It is so completely shaded that there is no hour of the warmest day but what the guests gather out doors in the shade the ladies to read or gossip, the gentlemen to smilingly smoke, and the children to play. And then the table is excellent; all the deli- cacies of the season are found in great abund- ance, without the files. Mine host posesscs all the qualifications Of‘ a gentleman and the traveller, though stranger, he may be, after a few moments conversation with him, thinks he must have known him all his life, and soon comes to the conclusion that notwith- standing lie is a. gentleman, he can “keep a hotel.” It is so seldom that we find landlords who really and throughly understand their business, that when we do filid them, we like to make a note of it, for the benefit of other travellers. The noble old trees give the hotel a coni— fortably aristocratic air, (if there is such a thing) which the character of the guests fully maintain. The mod natured smile of our host, of' only twd peeks to the bushel, puts all upon their good behaviour. Next week I am going on a picnic to the grove on Ram‘s Island, and I hope to enjoy the pleasure of the agreeable society of this beautiful village for a month at le'ast,nnd all who visit N Oi'walk for a. day or a month, I hope and belivc, will be as well pleased as your correspondent, who has found it more than he expected and all he hoped Ion—N. Y, Herald. ———--Oo-¢.» Gen. Laue don’t tell the Truth, and talks Foolishly. The following remarks were made by Lane Of Oregon, who is running for Vice- President with Bi‘cckinridgc: A VOICE—HOW did Lincoln vote in the time of the Mexican war ? Gen.LANE.—I’ll tell you. While your linin- ble servant was having his arm almost shat- tered to pieces, and while other good soldiers of this state were battling in defence of their country‘s honor, our friend Lincoln was over in Washington voting against supplies for the army. (Laughton) I didn’t say “friend," did I I I’ll take that back ; for it was you I alluded to when I said friends, for you are not only friends, but you are patriots, and you are law-abiding, good citizens, that I am proud to meet—that I delighted to have this opportunity to see and to speak to ; and if it was any other occasion than this—it'I wasn‘t on the ticket with that gallant, noble and generous, gifted man, Breckinridge—l would say much more in his favor. . Passing over the bad taste of this whole blundcring sentence, we simply desire to call the attention of our readers to what Senator Douglas said, when a similar question about Mr. Lincoln’s vote on the Mexican wur sup- plies was asked him: , I never charged him with voting against the supplies in my life, because I knew that he was not in Congress when they were vo- ted. The war was commenced on the 13th day of May, 1840, and on that .day we appro- priated in Congress ten millions of. dollars and fifty thousand men to prosecute it. Du- ring thc same session we voted nicre men and more iuoncy, so that, by the time Mr. Lincoln entered Congress, we had no occu- sion to vote for any more. Lane, therefore, is not a man of truth, and should not be trusted by the people. ____.__.....,...- Sympathy of the Body with an Ampu~ rated Member. At Tower’s Mill, in Lanesborough, on Tuesday, a young man named Jerry Swan was caught by the arm in some machinery, and the limb. was so badly broken and man- gled that immediate amputation was neces- sary. This was successfully performed, but according to the Pittsfield Eagle, Mr. Swan 3 connection with the discovered him) did not cease with the operation. The Eagle says 2 “On recovering from the stupor (produced by use of chloroform) Mr. Sivan snll com- plained sorely of ah aching hand. Late In the evening nis distress became very great, and he insulted that the hand was cramped by being doubled up. ’I‘li'd'limb had been placed in a small box and" buried. His ut- tendants dug it up and straightened the hand, and he was soon easier. This morn- ing the limb was again buried. But he soon complained of a sensation of cold and great pain in it. It was accordingly taken up again, wrapped up, and deposrted in a tomb, since whit-dire is again relieved. What does this mean 2' Is it all imagination? If this instance were a solitary one we might think so, But there are so many similar well at- tcsted cases on record, that we can only shake our heads and say, , ‘ here are more things in heaven and earth, Than are dreamed of'ln our philosophy.’ " 0‘. ’ GOOD FOR DELAWARE-The State Journal and the Republican, two influential Fillmore pers during the last Presidential caimpnign have hoisted the Republican fiag under Lin- coln and Hamlin.

It is used, insome instances, when portions of two or more adjacent townships go. to make up one locality; say a parish or a village. In . such :1 case the name is formed by a coales- cence of syllables, taken from the names of the townships concerned. We give the fol- lowing cxamplc‘s :— Ridgcbury is a locality formed by the union Of portions of Ridgefield and Danbu‘ . Slauiwich consists of a portion of Stamford ‘ and Greenirzl'h. _ ' ‘ Strntlicld was made up from Stratford and Iridlrj'lz‘lll'.~ _ . , .
