Colfax, Speaker of the House ; Geo. Wm.
Curtis, the most eloquent orator in America;
and Miss Anna E. Dickinson have already
been engaged for the course, and efforts are

State Dental Association.
The semi-annual convention ‘of the Com f
necticut State Dental Association was held
in the Sons of Tqmperance Hall, in this
town, last week, commencing Tuesday, 3.111-
Aftcr the assembling of the Convention an
adjournment was made until after dinner.
At 2o’clock the convention reassembled and
was called to order by D13 J- T- Mctcalf, 0‘
New Haven, President of the Association.
After the usual preliminary exercises, the
following subjects were discusscd :-—"Trcat-
ment of Incipient Decay on the Approximal
Surfaces of Teeth, both of adults and chil-
dren,” and “Operative Dentistry,” ‘ which
took up the afternoon. .
An evening session was held, after which
the members of the Association, with sever-
al'_invited guests adjourned to one of the
lower rooms, where the teeth played an im-
portant part, and the “subject” of an oyster
supper gotten up in D’Artois’s best stylc,and
tendered the convention by Dr. A. Hill, was
discussed at length but not exhaustively.
Never did the molars of these professional
teeth-men grind better food, than the “N or- .
walks” furnished in such abundance on this
ion, and oysters raw, oysters stewed,
and oysters fried, with sandwiches, hot cof-
fee, at oetora, monopolized the close atten-
tion of all, while beautiful strains of music
from the Norwalk Band floated through the
air. -
On Wednesday forenoon the convention
met at half past. nine o’clock. Dr. G. L. Ste-
vens of Norwalk, and Dr. B. St.John of
Canon Station, were elected members of ‘
the Association.
During the day the convention discussed
the subjects of “Mechanical Dentistry, with
special reference to the subject of paying a
royalty to rubber patentees for the use of
rubber for dentistry purposes; Operative
Dentistry; Loose Teeth and Gums, caused
by thedcposit of akalinc substances ’on the
teeth; Exostiosis, &c. Several members
gave their views as to prices, &c. Dr. H. L.
Sage read an essay on “Ability rs. Compen-
sation.” ' ,

W Many over-credulous people learn
only by .sad experience. They will stand by
and see their neighbor sold unmercifully, and
the next minute bite at the same book.- This
was nicely illustrated on Saturday last. A
man who has been around the country a
1ong while obtaining money fairly l?) by mis-
leading and selling his hearers, and whose
tricks we had fully exposed, came to town,
hired a carriage, gathered a crowd around
him and commenced operations according to
his old programme. He stated that he was
agent for a large London house; had more
money than he knew what to do with: sold
a good $10 bill 'for $9. 00, a $5 bill for $4,
&c.; scattered a lot of small stamps and
pennies among the crowd; offered rings and
lockets for sale at a stated price and the
money returned, and finally moved slowly
ofl‘ telling the crowd not to follow him, and
of course every man and boy were on hand
when he stopped again which he soon did.
Here he sold lockets as before, and returned
the money, but finally omitted promising to
return the money, which omissibn the crowd
failed to notice. For lockets thus sold he
of course pocketed the cash.
The fellow finally ended by briefly ex-
plaining to his customers how they were sold
politely raising his hat and bowing,—driv-
ing off to fresh pastures. One man “ on
the make" invested $10.00, receiving two
lockets in return, not worh ten cents. He
chased the fellow, after realizing the situation,
but did not succeed in catching him.
This fellow is bold, impudent, polite, and
faithfully fulfills his promises to a letter. As
‘we had cautioned our people against him,
and fully explained the modus operandi, we
are surprised so many here were gulled by
him. . -

WOn Tuesday evening last, Rev. Joseph
Anderson delivered a Poem, at the Young
Ladies Institute, in Waterbury. ,
The large ball, says the American, was
honored by one of the largest and most in-
tclligent audiences of ladies and gentlemen
that we have ever seen within its walls—all
the seats and passages were filled and it was
pleasing to see the general interest manifest-
.cd On the occasion by the presence of the
elder portion of the citizens. The American
continues : “We have neither time nor space
to speak of its merits as it deserves. It was
a story of the war which opened very beau-
tifully in a series of rythmical triplets, then
continuing in blank verse, ortraying by
skillful word-painting the ow England
cottage, the country’s call to arms, the irk-
someness of camp life, the battle, the letters. .
the furlough, the warm greetings, the young
boy, the return from cottage to camp, from
the camp to carnage, and the final return .
home, “marred and mangled" with an angry :
heart which had yet to learn an added sorrow,
in short, rehearsing the story of many a Nor-
thern fireside, and showing how great indi-
viduals and nations may become through sor-
row. His descriptions were marked with
fidelity and occasional passages of pathos
that made a deep impression upon the audi-
ence and attracted the closest attention.
The hero of the story and his little family
from whom he was separated by the fate of
war, and where after escaping with life’ in
many hard tested battles, were all well sus-
tained, and the moral with which the poem
closed was in the best possible vein
Rendered with a rich and musical _voice,
the delivery was fine and graceful and at
times animated. Had we room we should
be pleased to give some quotations from the
poem; which deserves more than a passing
notice.“ "
«Q».
WHAT GRANT SAvs—Gcneral Grant late-
ly said in the presence of one of the editors
of the Eocm'nfi’ost;
“The rebels we whipped, as it was our du-
ty to do; they fought us bravely and I for
one have no spite against'thein. If they be-
have themselves I shall think well of them.
But the copperheads and peacemen in the
North, the men who, during the war, reviled
the soldiers, encouraged the enemy, and did
their utmost to stop supplies and reinforce-
ments to our boys in the front—such men I
can’t forgive; I will never forgive them, or
haVe anything to do with them." -

DEAR GAZETTE;AmODg
of'intcrcSt found in the letter of your “Seign-
ior" of last week, I was especially pleased
with his reference to the matter of a new
cemetery for Norwalk. , . _
For a long time past,I have been revolving
this matter in my mind, and most earnestly.
desiring that some of our enterprising and
public spirited citizens, would make a move
in this direction. It seems to me that this is
one of the ‘most desirable objects, with our
citizens, and One that ought not to be longer
delayed. ' ' ' 3 ‘
We need a cemetery, of such' dimensions,
and beauty, with such physical characteristics,
as to admit _of varied ornamentation and cul-_
ture, and one that will not fail to attract the
attention, and admiration of all visitors, and
especially of those whose loved dead, have
been carried away from their various house-
holds, to repose peacefully until summoned
forth again, by the ressurrection summons.
stately'trees and stunted shrubs andcultured
flowers shall blend in quiet beauty, to make
the‘ place sacred to holy thoughts and peace-
ful meditations; where nature and tart shall
both contribute to hallow the spot where our
dear ones shall rest after ' '
“Life‘s fitful fever shall be‘ovcr."
Is there such a spot in Norwalk ?‘ Certainly
not where our dead are now sleeping.
But, Messrs. Editors, there is one, spot and
meet all the requisitions demanded.
trees are there, of a centuries growth; the
birds are always there in Spring time and in
Summer;thc soil is mellow and ' genial
tunes and locality just right for a. beautiful
village cemetery. Can we not have it? Let
me name the place. It is what is known as
the “Amphitheatre grounds” embracing the
spot where we are wont to hold our County
Fairs. It may be that Mr Byington, who is
part oWner cf the property referredto, is too
modest to mention this, as the place of all
others for a Norwalk cemetery. But he well
pose. . .
Shall we allow these beautiful grounds to
be occupied for any other purpose, when
they are so splendidly adapted for. this, and
spot in all our vicinity. 1f persOns Owning
this property, would but move" in this'mattcr,
it would very soon become a .locality of
transcendent interest to all our citizens,’and
one reproach would be taken away, and it
would no longer be "said, that we have no
suitable place forthc burial of our dead.

(“The value of these strange instruments is
, "not generally appreciated ; few, comparative-
"'iy,..give"thema moment’s thought unless
compelled to by pain, or the hideous reflec-
‘tion of their decaying remnants in thc mir—
ror. Few estimate them at their real worth,
until, like blessings, they begin to take their
flight. A few facts may call attention to this
subject and lead some to preserve their
teeth, who would otherwise lose them. All
classes sho'uld'be‘ interested in this matter :'
even children need care on this point, their
temporary set of twenty teeth is replaced by
their permanent set of thirty-two, while still

wisdom teeth make their appearance before
the child is fourtocnyearsold, and. many of;
them some years previous. These are, de-'
signed tobe not only useful‘hut ornamental;
yet how many faces are disfigured instead of '
beautified , by them. The critical period1
when this matter must be decided, is while"
the permanent set} gradually displaces the;
temporary. " To ensure regularity is the end:
to be aimed at apd it is not difilcult to secure: 5
the process should be closely watched and;
the dentist consulted occasionally. No pa-l
rent can expend ten or twenty dollars for the ,
child more. advantageously ' than by placing,
it in the hands of a skilfull dentist, and thus.
secure his watch, care and assistance during
this period. Many countenances, . which
would, otherwise be attractive, are repulsive
because of malformed teeth; the blame usu. i
ally attaches to parents,- fora little attention ‘
in childhood, and a slight operation .occa—
sionally and the disfigurment would have
been arrested. .’ "
Cleanliness is also important; little boys '
and girlsought- to be furnished with brush-
es, and if presented as a holiday on Christ-
'rnas gift would he used; all persons should
possess, and persistently use this article of
toilet furniture. It is as important, to pres
serve a set of fine teeth as to obtain them.
At the Connecticut State Dental Association,
which held its semi-annual session in‘ this
place, Oct. 16th and 17th, this subject was ad-
verted to, and the statement made, that no
preventative against decay was so effectual
as cleanliness. Particles of food lodging be-
tween the teeth decompose andgencrste an
acid, which soon, produces fatal effects. = One
dentist has asserted that “where the teeth
are kept literally clean no disease, will ever
be percepfable." This, puts the 'case more
strongly 'than facts will warrant, but indicate
how all-important cleanliness is. ‘. The Brah-
mins of Hindosfan consider it a religious
dutyto keep the teeth clean, and spend an
hour every morning rubbing them with a
twig. The result is that theyhave-the finest
teeth. of any people of the world. ' ' "
A word as to dentifrices ;'.Charcoal has
been extensively used and highly vrecom-
mended, but at the Dental Association, Dr.
Winton of Birmingham, and Dr.‘ Hill of
Norwalk, declared it unfit for thepur'pose..
The latter sold it acts in two ways—chemi-
cally and mechanically—it is an antiseptic,

counterbalanced its benefits as an antiseptic,
and rendered it exceedingly injurious asa
dentifrice. In this connection Dr. McMan-
*us Of Hartford, spoke highly of Chalk. There
is supposed to be an acid generated in the
system which-frequently attacks the teeth,
however clean they may be, and it is impor-
tant to defend them against this agent ; Dr.
McManus said chalk wbuld do it, being an
antacid. _It is destitute of- grit likewise, and
thus harmless, mechanically. He believes
this to be the best dentifrice known.

do no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully

ALLEN‘S LUNG BALSAM in curing the most deep
seated PULMONARY Coxsurssrrox l I have witness-
ed its effects on the young'and the old, and lean tru-
ly say that it is by far the best cxpectorant remedy
with which I am acquainted. For coughs, and all
the early stages of Lung complaints, I believe it to be
a certain cure, and if every amily would keep it by
them, ready to administer upon the first appearance
of disease about the lungs, there would be very few
cases of fatal consumption 1‘ It causes the hlegm
and matter to raise, without irritatin those eiicate
organs (the Lungs), and without pr ucing constipa-
tion of the bowels. It also gives strength to ,the
system, stops the night-sweats, and changes all the
morbid secretionsto a healthy state.

Rarely has there been a season as fruitful as this
of malarious diseases. Not only on the prarics and
in the vallcy's of the West ; not merely in all the old
haunts of Fever and Ague and Billous Remittent Fe-
ver have these prostratin g diseases been unusually
virulent ; but they have extended to towns and cit:
ies never before infested with them, and have even
escendcd the mountains and attacked thousands of
people supposed to have been placed by the laws of
Nature above their reach. Hence we are compelled
to admit that a fatal element pervades the Universal
Air this season, and should at once resort to the on-
ly approved preventive of its consequences,

.mi ght move among blazing buildings, the man who
arms himself against malaria with this powerful de-
fensive medicine my walk a fever-scourged district
fearless of its insalubrious atmosphere. The inter-
