THEREFORE, I William A. Buckingham

tending the time, to and including the

all persons who comply With the provis-

complimentary to all concerned in the hap-
py consummation,especially to the gentlemen
charged with the duty,-—-and most gratifying

purchases of Mr. Legrand Lockwood has
received an erroneous interpretation. His
intentions are to lay out and beautify the
grounds preparatory to the erection of a

eligible, and with the contemplated improve-
ments will doubtless prove one of the finest
attractions tO’our beautiful go-ahead village.

DARIEN.—The storm and darkness of last
Thursday evening did not prevent a very
agreeable “surprise” which the good people
of the Congregational Society had been pre-
paring for their pastor and his wife. The
pleasantrooms of the parsonage were and.
denly invaded and filled by a glad company
of young and old, bringing good-will in
their hearts, and abundance of good things
in their hands. The tables were spread,
and the multitudepartook of a bountiful re-
past, leaving something more than_“frag-
ments” behind them; after which they pre-
sented their minister with a purse of $100,
in addition to other valuable gifts. The
evening passed so pleasantly that the in-
creasing violence of the tempest was not
observed till the hour for parting came,
when many of the company were induced
so tarry for the New Year and the rising of
the moon ; and the advent Of 1864 was cele—
brated with sacred songs and mutual con-
gratulations. Then the assembly dispersed,
feeling that the occasion was one long to be
remembered.
For the benefit of any parish which may
be disposed to “go and do likewise,” it
should be observed that the people had first
made provision for the prompt payment of
their minister’s salm'y up to J on. 1st, 1864.

that, since their answer to the charges made
against them, there were good grounds for
their rem0val. He says that the official re-
port lately made to him by the Commission.
ers about the riots in July, was sectarian and
partisan, and showed that the Commissioners
had departed from the impartial and dispos-

THE JouNsON ISLAND PLOT— ,7 hen i
the Canadian authorities gave notice to E
our Government that the rebels had con- ‘
ceived a. daring plot to liberate the rebel
prisoners on Johnson Island, all the cop-
perhead papers laughed at the statement
and endeavored to make their readers
believe that the whole affair had no more
foundation than the imagination of some
sensation newsmouger’s brain. Mr. Mal-
lory, the rebel Secretary of the Navy,
however, with that utter disregard for
the feelings of his Northern friends, indi-
cative of his contempt for the whole
brood, plumply confesses to the truth of
the whole afi'air, and leaves them to
wriggle out of it as best they can. In his
late report, he says as follows:
“During the months of July and Au-
gust I sent 27 commissioned oficers and.
40 trustworty petty officers to the Bri-
tish Provinces, with orders to organize
an expedition and cooperate with army
oficers in an attempt to‘release the Con-
federate prisoners confined on Johnson’s
Island, in Lake Erie. From time to time
I learned that the arrangements made
were such as to insure the most complete
success. A large amount of money had
been expended, and just as our gallant
naval ofiicers were about to set sail on
this expedition, the English authorities
gave information to the enemy,'and thus
prevented the execution of one of the
best planned enterprises of the present
war.”

gDr. Trowbridge, of Stamford, has
been appointed Examining Surgeon for
the Provost Marshall board for this dis-
trict. We presume this change guaran-
tees civil treatment and some of the
“commoner conventionalities of civilized
society.” With this change we presume
there will be very little real cause for
complaint, though .there is no disguising
the fact that the foisting of a Board of
foreign ofiicers upon us, when there are
plenty of our own citizens confessedly
competent, worthy and anxious to hold
the positions, has given rise to a deep
seated prejudice against the Board, for
which the two remaining oflicers are in
no wise responsible. «

@Arkansas is pronounced essential-

Gen. Steele, the Union element has rap-
idly gained strength. At a recent con-
vention in Saline county, over three hun-
dred of the prominent citizens of that
district were present. The following is
one of the resolutions passed: That "the

pledge that they will never lay down
their arms, not only until this unrighteous
Rebellion is crushed, but until every
trace of slavery is eradicated from our

fi-Siuce the Reform School at Meri-

the present time, there have been admit-
ted 650 scholars. The largest number
remaining in the school at one timie is
214, and the smallest number 69. The
first year there were received into the
school 143 boys. In 1859 but four were
received. There are at the present time
208 scholars in the school, 109 of whom
have been admitted since last January.
The real estate pertaining to the school
cost the State $60,000. Besides the
amount earned in the workshops and on
the farm, the State pays into the treas-
ury of the school one dollar and a half
per week for each scholar. Dr. Hatch
is giving the institution economical and

A FEMALE SOLDIER FROM MAINE—The
Richmond Examiner has the following
account of the discovery of a female sol-
dier, a member of the 16th Maine regi-
ment, in prison at Richmond:
“Yesterday, a rather prepossessing
looking lass was discovered on Belle Isle,
disguised, among the prisoners of war
held there. She gave her real name as
Mary Jane Johnson, belongeth to the
16th Maine regiment, and had been a
prisoner some time. She gave as an
excuse for adopting her soldier toggery,
that she was following her lover, to
shield and protect him when in danger.
He had been killed in battle, and now
she would have no objection to return to
the more peaceful sphere for which na-
ture, by her sex, had better fitted her.
The heroine of a novel yet to be written
in Yankeedom, was considerably sun-
burned and roughened by the hardships
she had encountered, has still retained
marks of some womanly comeliness, which
would be heightened by a calico frock
and crinoline. Upon the discovery of her
sex, Miss Johnson was removed from
Belle Isle, and is now confined at Castle
Thunder. She will probaby go North by
the next flag of truce. She is about 19

right, the editor makes the popular de-
cree run thus: " '
“First, that this country shall be one
nation, not an acre or red of it to be
given up, if the war must go on for ever
and eternally for its unity, and though
we shall have to lay waste State after
State, till a territory, bigger than all of
‘Wnstcrn Europe, shall be turned to de-
sert—depopulated and denuded—for that
end; Second, that slavery shall be wiped
out. ‘The cause of the war’ shall be re-
moved more completely than was the
human race destroyed by the great flood,
not eight persons surviving in servitude
to tell the story of the past. Thirdly,
that the present administration—‘the
government’—is to continue in power, so
long as thé war lasts; Abraham Lincoln,
who was constitutionally and properly
elected to be President of all the States,
to be President till his authority is recog-
nized in every State that was in the'
Union at the time of his election. If this
isglot the meaning of present history, it
is written in characters that we do not

A Cnnsxv HOUSEBREAKER.—Arthur
Sknlding, of Greenwich, received $2000
in cash on Tuesday for some property
that he sold, and about 3 o’clock the
next morning was awakened by a rap-
ping at his door. He suspected an
attempt to rob him, and ordered the
intruder to leave. ‘The ‘man, however,
demanded entrance, threatening to shoot
him if he didn’t speedily grant it. So he
opened the door and admitted the burg-
lar, who then made a demand for the
$2000. He was told it was deposited in '
a bank, but coolly ordered Skalding and
his wife back to bed while he searched
the room. They obeyed, and the villain
explored at his leisure, finally leaving
with a costly gold watch, diamond ring
worth $350, and every other valuable he
could find. He told the terrified couple
that they must stay between the sheets
till daylight; as he should Watch the

fi-Five hundred and tWenty Union
prisoners from Richmond reached An-
napolis on Tuesday, being those exchanged
by General Butler. Of this number but
60 or 70 were sick, the others being in
pretty good condition. There were but
few ofiicers. In the number was one of
Gen. Averill's men, captured during his
raid on the Virginia and Tennessee Rail-

THE Mrssss BROWN or THE MIss BROWNs.
-—Which of these two is right—the Miss-
es Brown, or the Miss Browns ? For
the former it may be said, that Brown is
the name of the whole species, and that
the young ladies being individuals of that.
species, are the Misses; for the latter, that
each of the yunnrz ladies being Miss Brown,
the whole taken together, or any two or
more, are Miss Browns. So that either
way is justifiable. Usage is all but uni-
versal in favor of the latter in conversa-
tion. We say We met the Miss Browns,
not the Misses Brown. 'But we can
hardly justify this, our colloquial prac-
tice if bring in Mrs Brown and the Miss
Browns. For, by enumerating first the
individual and then the species, we bind
ourselves to the former way of spelling.
The sentence, as I have last given it, is
inaccurate ; because it really says that
we met Mrs. and the Miss Browns; i. (4.,
one Mrs. and one celebrated Miss, rejoi-
cing in the name of, not Brown but
Browus. If we had wished to keep to
the ordinary colloquial usage in this case
also, we ought to have said thatd We met
Mrs. Brown and the Miss Browns.

wood.
Mr. Lockwood was born Jan. 30th, 1794.
He received as good an education in com- .
‘ mon schools as those days afforded. He ear- ;
ly began school-keeping, during the Winter i
. E Bruster E hr in
{sensory while he helped his father on the . ’ p ( ‘
farm in the Summer. He continued this
course till nearly 28 years of age. By this
course he had accumulated some $3000.—
This was the seed-corn of all his subsequent
prosperity. At death of his father he came
in possession of a pretty large amount of
property, from his father’s estate. But the
principal part of what he has now left, was
amassed by persevering industry, and strict
economy, and hard labor He was not a
man to make a show in the world. He nev-
er wished to appear rich and great. He was
a plain unassuming person, that would not
be taken by strangers to be worth a thousand
dollars in the world. He never exhibited a
gold watch and chain, or a gold ring, or a
gold headed cane. Though Mr. L. was not
extravagant in his expenses, yet he was far
from being a miner. He always paid for a
pew in church, though for several years past
the state of his health was such that he sel-
dom occupied it. Asa child, as a husband,
as a father and as a brother, few men have
surpassed him in affectionate attentions. As
ancighbor he was kind and accommodating.
He often helped the needy and visited the af—
flicted. He was always a moral and honest
man, though he was not a member of any
church. He believed in the reality and ne-
cessity of experimental religion, and in his
latter years he indulged a hope in the Lord
Jesus Christ. His death, which occurred on
the 26th of Dec. 1863, was easy and peace-
ful. His family like many other families at
the present time, feel as it is expressed by
the poet :
“ Silently the shades of evening
Gather round my lonely door ;
Silently they bring before me
Faces I shall see no more.
Oh! the lost, the nnforgottcn,
Though the world is oft forgot ;
Oh! the shrouded and the lonely,
In our hearts they perish not.”

FROM THE 17th REC’T.—We have just
reocivcd a private letter from “our Tim,”
who is now a member of Co. A. He is
getting a little fractions and threatens to
“stop his paper” if we publish anything
more about him, but as he has many
friends who kindly remember him, we
will this time run ' the risk of being oblig-
ed to “shut up shop,” and copy some ex-
tracts from his letter, for their gratifica-
tion. He says.-
“ I have been over on Kioawa Island,
at work, the past week, and just got
back last night. We had quite a lively
time here, Christmas morning. A rebel
battery. came down on a point of land
and commenced shelling the gun-boat
Marblehcad, ’l‘hey'fought about three
hours quite sharp, when Johnny had to
skedaddle and leave his battery and dead
behind him. We lost two killediand five
wounded on the boat, and we found three
dead robs near.their guns. ‘ I was where
I could see the whole engagement. It
commenced about daybreak and lasted
’till nine o’clock. We have had quite a
lot of men come back lately, so that our
company new numbers over thirtymen.”
In regard to himself, (he must excuse
us for making him so ” conspicuous”—_—we
cannot help it.) he says : “As for myself,
Iam all right ; weigh 145 lbs.; 5 feet, 7
inches high ; am ‘sonnd on the, goose;’
don’t want the war to end ’till the rebs
throw down their arms and ask for par-
don ; have never yet been sorry that I
enlisted, and feel as well satisfied as I did
the first day I got in. Remember me' to
all the folks at home’i.

m'l‘he Hartford Press says that up
to January let the number of recruits
obtained in the whole State was about
2,200, to apply on a quota of 5 432. It
thinks 2,000 veterans have re—enlisted in
the field, but this will be found to be an
overestimate. lfwe count liberally we
cannot claim more than 1,500 which
would leave us on the 1st of this month
1,700 short Since January 1st, men are
coming in at the rate of 100 a day, so
that on the eve of the 5th the. State will
lack some 1,200 men. As the draft is,
poslponed till the 15rh, that. number can
be made up at. the l‘nic business is now
going on, though no Selectmen or agents
can afford to relax their efforts.

other ernger made. If we could not get
others we would not let them go for four
times their cost; in fact we consider them
znealuablc,_ and advise every family to get
one, as they are economical, as well as use-
ful. They enable the washing to be done in
onethird less time, and save their cost by
saving clothes about twice in every year.
The frame being of iron thoroughly galvan-
ized, all danger from rust is removed, and
the liability to shrink, swell, split, &c. &c.,
so unavoidable in wooden Machines is pre-
vcutod. The Spiral Springs over the rolls
render this machine Self Adjusting so that
small or large articles as well as arti-
cles uneven in thickness are certain
to receive uniform pressure. The pa-

tightened to the tub, we believe to be supe-
rior in simplicity and efficiency to anything
