Our Enlarle'ment.
In'January last we intimated our inten-
tion of enlarging the GAZETTE during the
year. We now come before our readers in
eight col-
thc enlarged form, giving fully
mm, or one whole page more than formerly ,
and making the Gazsrraiwilh a single ex-
ception) the largeetpa; er in the State. This
enlargement has been rendered necessary by
our constantly increasing advertising PW'OR'
age and our desire to furnish more reading
matter. We feel confident that in making
this large addition to our already heavy 9x-
pcnses we 51131] meet with the approbatzon
and increasing patronage of a liberal com-
munity, and that in the lotlg run we shall
not be losers by the operation.
We had intended speaking at length,in this
connection, of our new press manufactured
by MONTAGun & Co., Of N. Y., but time and
space forbid. Suffice it to say, this week,
that we are delighted With its many excel-
lent qualities, and cordially recommend the
machine to all printers, city and country,who
need a press of this kind.

I believe it was that prince of the philoso-
phers Diogoncs,~who averred “if he were
not a man he would be a horse." Certainly
the highest and noblest development of the
brute creation is the horse, and where, as
here at Springfield, some half a thousand of
the most perfect and beautiful of the equine
race are congregated, it is a show worth
travelling many miles to see. In the great
exhibitionarranged for here at Hampdcn
Park, of course speed is the beginning and
end of all of the popular taste, yet we have
never witnessed so many purely-flue, showy
and beautiful aqimals in development and
action as were entered here under the sever-
al heads of Gentlemen’s Driving Horses and
Family Horses, double and single. The en-
tries came well‘up to one hundred in this
class alone and was a most enjoyable part of
the grand horse exhibition. We rejoice that
there is one place in the American Union
where purely fine Family Horses may have
a place upon the lists. It is true that the
gaunt trotter and angular runners are the
steeds that quicken the pulse and make the
blood bound through exciteable systems, yet
this proneness of the popular taste shouldlnot
ignore the truly docile, good-natured patient,
practiced and tractacable Family Horse, so
necessary for the comfort of the aged and of
our wives and children. It is true, the horse
jockeys will wriggle their track-trained nags
among such entries whenever there is a price
to be compassed, but this matters not so
long as committees have the common sense
to discriminate between the trotter and the
horse of all~work. Here at Springfield no
part of the exhibition commanded so large
and gratifying ashare of the attentlon of the
vast crowds assembled as the Family Horses.
Our State pridc was more than gratified in

mal. now 20 years of age, presented a two
year old grand-daughter who without train-
ing, trotted the half-mile track in 1.36. An-
other young colt oi the old mare, Mr. Hitch-

which resulted in an expulsion from the
course, was sold to David Leavitt, of Great
Barrington, of whom Mr. Hitchcock pur-
Chmd her. The animal is claimed to have
privgtglr beaten the time since made by
Dexter. She showed a most interesting
brood of sons and daughters with their chil-

of especial interest. -

where the Massisoit left Ofi‘, for we must
aver that in all our chequered hotel experi-
ence, we were never “garnered" where there
was such exquisitg good taste and neatness
and home like quiet and order about all its
appointments. The Haynes House is the rte
plus ultra of New England Hotels, and we
are sure we shall inspire the lasting gratitude
of every travelling wight, induced by this
unsolicited commendation, to stop over to
the Haynes House. Without pussy luxuri-
ance and shoddy or pretentious glare and
tinsel it is so comfortable and quietly and
completely first class, as to well repay one to
' travel fifty miles out of the way to enjoy its
hospitalities. So much emanates from the
gratitude of our heart, our head and pocket
too, were so much captivated by the reason-
ablenessoi its charges l Astounding, as con-
nected with modern living, but nevertheless
true.
With a thousand thanks to our old friend
Thos. Warner, Jr., for what proved to be
so much of happiness, in that he directed us
to the Haynes House, we will forbear weary-
ing the reader till another week. B.

The Poll Tax.
A question has arisen whether the Act
passed at the last session of the Legislature,
relating to the poll tax, really imposes a tax,
of one dollar per head or only the per cent-
age laid for town and state tax on that
amount. The legislature doubtless intended
to make the tax one dollar, and we believe
the langu rge used though it might have been
plainer really does impose that amount on all
liable to such tax. The language used in the
Act of which the present one is an amend—
ment is that three hundred dollars “shall be
set in the list," the language (if the present
5*? is that “one dollar shall be added to the list,"
it
ich doubtless means the completed list af-
fer the amount due other taxes are carried
out in the proper column. To show that
this view is correct we copy an amendment
which passed the Senate, and which was af-
tewards changed on motion of the Senator
from the Sevrnth district so as to tax only
for town and state purposes.
“The polls of all white males between the
ages of twenty-one and seventy jelrs, for
town and state taxes, shall be of the uniform
rate of two dollars for each poll, which shall
be added to the list of such person, but for
' school district or countytaxcs such poll shall
be placed in the list at two hundred dollars.”
Thus the distinction between added to,and
placed in the list clearly proves that we have
to pay one dollar poll tax under the present
Act.

Fitch’s Home.
Few of our readers, we believe, are aware
oi the character and workings of this institu-
tion, founded by the liberalin of Mr. Fitch
and a few other noble hearted man, which is
now doing so much for the orphaned child-
ren of our brave soldiers who gave their lives
for the salvation of our country during the
late rebellion. This Home is situated in Da_
rien a few rods north of the Noroton depot,
on high ground commanding a fine view of
Long Island Sound. The grounds contain
about five acres, on which are erected a large
wooden dwelling for the family and children
with ample accommodations for sleeping,
dining and cooking, and n largc and well ar-
ranged School room with comfortable seats
and desks for the children; and a noble stone
and brick Hall which contains a large and
Well selected library, comprising many vol-
mcs Of great merit many of which cannot be
found in any public collection in the State.
In the Hall there is a fine piece of statuary of
great cost representing a returned soldier with
a little girl on his knee, who is listening to
the story of her brave father’s death 'on the
field of battle. This statuary weighs some
four tons and was ordered by Mr. Fitch willie
in Europe and cost there two thousand dol-
lars in Gold. It Would amply repay anyone
to visit the institution were there no other in-
ducement than to view this work of art.
Tile Home was chartered by the Legisla-
ture in 1864 and is under the direction of a
board of trustees of whom Wm. A. Cum-
mings Of' Darieu is President, Philandcr
Button ofGreenwicb Sac Joseph B. Hoyt of

the income dcllved from the interest on the
fund and the. amount appropriated by the
State and from money from the towns of
Norwalk and Greenwich by about seven-
teen hundred dollars per year, which amount
heretofore has been made up by contribu.
tors and by the noble effort of a few ladies
who have taken the matter in hand and held
fairs and appropriated the funds for this
worthy object. During the past year Nor-
walk and South Norwalk have done nobly
in this way and we trust those who have
heretofore done so much will continue in
well-doing.
Norwalk is much the largest represented
in their number of inmates and we trust will
continue to do her share in the support of
an institution whichis doing so much good.
We learn that for the present there is sufii-
cicnt clothing on hand except socks for boys,
and that the present need is money to pay
for provisions, fuel and other necessary cx-
pcnses attending the support of so large and
dependant family. As the treasury-is now
overdrnwn will not our citizens and especial-
ly the ladicstnke the matter in hand and do
as they have heretofore done simply their
duty in this respect.
