Our Village Cemetery.
We presume there is little use in scolding
any more about the untidy and discreditable
condition of our Cemetery. There is some-
thing radically wrong in its organization. 915::
itsmanagement could not be “ so shrftless.
There the fondest hopes and dearegt frrends
of multitudes lie buried, and there it should
be a pleasurable and profitable spot for medi-
tation and to visit. But as it now strikes the
eye, overgrown with weeds and rank grass,
its avenues filled with unsightly debris—
there is very little that is attractive there.
Indeed all the costly works of sculptural art
are marred and made to share the general-
aspectof dilapidation and nnthrift, Please,-
Messrs Stockholders and Directors of the
Norwalk Cemetery—forests at least one divi-
dead and do yourselves the credit and the
people the benefit of fixing up this resting
place of the “loved ones gone before.”

Fund, and through all the perilous vicissi—
tudes of the great struggle in which the Na-
tion has oflate been involved, it has diffused
its munificence and imparted is old to the
, people Of the State.
On the second day of September, A. D.,
1864, the Auditors of Public Accounts, after
a thorough and minute examination of the
condition of the Fund, found thac from the
principal from which the revenue is derived
amounted to $2,046,532.23. In 1853 the
same, board ascertained tha principal to
amount to $3,046,748.19 _
The amount of principal paid? into the
Treasury during the year was $294,988.75;
of this sum there has been reinvested in bond
and mortgage securities $294,191.61. ‘ Leav-
ing a balance in the Treasury for future in-
vestment $4,797.14.
The amount of revenue from the Fund for
the last year was $143,556 49. .
The amountpaid on orders for dividends
to the School Districts, and for the expenses
of the Fund, . was $138,619.51 : and there
was a balance in the Treasury on the 1stof
April last of $29,116.51. Some addition has
been made to the expense of taking care of
the Fund, by the increased charges made by
agents, , and increased taxation, insurance
renewals, and other incidental expenses.
The number of children between the ages
Of four and sixteen years returned to the
Comptroller Of Public accounts in January
last, was 114,825, being an increase over the
number returned last year of 2,727. For
each child thus returned there has been ,or.
dered to be paid to the several Districts in
the State the sum of one dollar and fifteen
cents each.
By an Act of Congress, approved July 2d,
1861, this State received a donation of 180,000
acres of public lands. if it should provide a
College for the benefit of Agriculture and the
Mechanic Arts. The Corporation of Yale
College undertook to carry out the intent of
the Act of Congress above referred to, and
upon such undertaking it was made the duty
of the Commissioner of the School Fund to
collect and pay o7er the interest of the fund
arising from the sale of the lands thus re-
ceived from Congress, to the Corporation of
the College. The script for the land was
sold in May,- 1864, for $135,000, being at the
rate of seventy-five cents per acre of the land.
The money received for the sale of the script
was invested in the Goverment securities
known as Ten-Forty Bonds, and the amount
of interest received from such investment is
$13,233 05, which has been paid over to the
Treasure; of the College.
From a statement showing the amount of
Dividends received from eighteen Banks of
this State, the past year, it seems that the
Fairfield County Bank paid a larger per cent.
than any other. On $10,900 worth Of stock
the Bank paid aDividend of $1,417.00.

33" A fleet of naval vessels will soon set
sail from our‘coast for forcigh waters, which
in numbers will exceed our entire navy be-
fore the war. It is under command of Ad-
miral Goldshorough, is gathering at Fortress
Monroe, whence it will set sail some where
about the 4th of July, and will be composed
Of from thirty to sixty sail, Theintention of
the expedition is a three years cruise in the
Mediterranean. Some ten vessels will cruise
about the British Isles and in the’North Sea.
Tw new Ironsides and two double-turreted
monitors will join the fleet. Tile Colorado
will be the flag-ship. The object of the ex-
pedition is said to be to acquaint our pilots,
with European harbors, ,t at the sea-going
qualities of our marine, an to show Europe
the advances we have made in naval archi-
tecture and gunnery. Such expeditions
were frequent before the war, but this one
will eclipse anything heretofore attempted.

Report of the State Treasury.
The amount of cash in the treasury April
lst, 1864, was $49,774.04, andritlie balance on
hand from all accounts, $108,190.93... Reck-
oning this last amount the _ total receipts
from all sources during the year have been
$11,114,756.77; total payments for all pur-
poses.$10,988,361.96, leaving a balance in
the treasury April 1st, 1865, ”of $126,394.81.
The funded debt of the State is $8 000,000,
consisting of four series of State bonds of
$2,000,000 each. The fioatiu oriemporary
debt of the State is $2,523,113. 9; which con-
sists mostly of loans from banks, and for the
payment Of which it will be" necessary for
the legislature to make provision. The sink-
ing fund for the redemption-of four millions
of the funded debt, amountsito $1,131,866.25,
of which 716.500 is invested! in" five-twenty,
and $331,500 in ten-fortyggovernment bonds.
The treasurer proposes to inuest the whole
amount in Connecticut Statebonds, if an-
thorized to make a new issue.‘ He suggests
that as surplug monics are placed .in govern-
ment bonds bearing a higher-rate of interest
than the State has paid, the attempt now to
dispose of a large amount ofState bonds may
be unsuccessful; and he suggests that the
value of acontemplat'ed new :issue “may be
enhanced by making them exempt from tax-
ation. The total grand list Of the State is
$258,224,409. The tax at 4 "mills, $1,035,-
893.62. Taxunpaid, $17,327.87.

Warren’s Improved Felt, Ce-

Decidedly the best, most durable and
cheapest known in this country. Materials
which are liable to be confounded with
this have long been in use for covering
factories and barns, &c., but never until
this recent discovery has any kind of_Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi-
dences. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water-
proof; makes solid, handsome work, is a
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.

those not acqeainted with the article it may seem
rather strange, if not steeplangnagc, to assert of the
famous FAMILY DYE COLORS of Howe & Stevens,
that they are the beef and the cheapest in the world;
but such is the case in point of fact, as can be de-
monstrated by themanufacturers. The significant
circumstance that no othcrarc used or can be sold
where these are to be had, needs no comment. They
are a snvingof 80 per cent., will dye silk, woolen,
cotton, feathers, bonnets, gloves, and hundreds of
other materials, will not injure the most fragile text-
ure, are ready for use in a few moments, and are fast

Persons Of sedentary habits troubled with weak
ness, lassrtude, palpitation of the heart, lack of ap-
petite, distress after eating, torpid liver, constipa-
tion, &C. deserve to suffer if they will not try the
celebrated
PLANTATION BITTERS.
which are now reccommended by the highest medi-
cal anthorities, and warranted to produce an tmmo
diate benificial cfi‘ect. They are exceedingly agree-
able, perfectly pure, and supercede all other tonics
where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required.
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.
They create a healthy appetite. '
They are an antidote to change of water and diet.
They overcome effects Of dissipation and late hours
They strengthen the system and enliven the mind.
They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.
They purify the breath and acidity ofthe stomach
They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.
They cure Diarrhoea, and Cholera Morbus.
They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache
They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,
and are exhausted nature’s great restorcr. They
are composed of the celebrated Calisnyn bark, win-
tergrcen, asssnfras, roots and herbs, all preserved in
.pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars
and testimonials around each bottle.
Beware Of imposters. Examine cvcry bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp nnmntilated
over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig-
nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an imposter. Any
person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters
or not, is a criminal under the U. 8. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, &c. who wil
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from In-
dies, clergyman, merchants. due. is incredible. The
simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we preflnt of
their worth and superiority. They are sold by all
espectable druggists, grocers, physicians, hotels,
saloons, steamboats and country stores.
