A National Thanksgiving.
“ In accordance with a recent custom
which may now be regared as established on
national consent and approval,” President
JohnsOn has issued a proclamation setting
forth Thursday, Nov. 28th, “to be observed
' nsa day of national thanksgiving and praise
to the Almighty Ruler of Nations." Gov.
Bulloch, of Massachusetts has app\ointed the
same day, and Gov. English will undoubted-
ly do the same, especially as the day is the
one usuallyobserved in this- State. Get your
turkeys ready.

WTiie practice of throwing and playing
balls, stones, &c., in our public streets should
be stopped. Last week a young girl playing
croquet in a private yard on West Avenue,
had one of her ear-rings struck and broken
by a stone knocked by a bat bya careless
boy. A lady was hit by a ball thrown by a
boy, and knocked insensible.

A few New York bankers are here for the
purpose of urging the President to make a
change in the Treasury Department. They
presented among others, the name of Legrand
Lockwood, a wealthy banker of New York,
who, they asserted, would give satisfaction
to the commercial interests of the city.
WWe clip the above fromthe Washing-
ton correspondence of the N. Y. Trybunc,
and only wish there might be a chance of
such an event. We do not suppose Mr,
Lockwood could be induced to accept such a
position of 'labor, anxiety and responsibility,
but we do know that it would be’a fortunate
event for the country, it one with Mr. Lock.
wood’s sagacious foresight and practical
financial experience, could be induced to
take in charge the monetary interests of the
government. ‘

Crimes.
Our readers will remember that we recent-
ly noticed the fact that Mary Cpnoley, a girl
then in the services of Dr. Lyrics, had been
. arrested and bound over for trial at the pres-
'ent term of the Sup. Court, for an assault on
James FitzGibbons with intent to murder.
On the complaint of the girl, FilzGibbons
was’arrested last wkeek for rape, and the
evidence was such that the magistrate deem-
ed it proper that he should be held for trial
on that charge. He' was’accordingly' put
under bonds of $3,000. Thcxgirl’s evidence
was positive and she waste some extent cor-
. roborated by the testimony of Dr. 'Lynes and
‘ Mrs. McDonald. FitzGibbons procured bail
and will be tried at the Dec. term at Bridge-
port. ‘
We have also to record that two colored
fellows, each about 20 years‘of age, by the
respective names of Henry Dullivan and
Charles Bell, were arraigned on the 24th for
robbery. The evidence showed that about
7 o’clock in the evening of the 22d as Mr.
Charles Scribner was returning home from
the Bridge, accompanied by" Silas, Partrick,
an old man and not very plucky, they were
attacked by the accused not a great way
above Mr. Lynes’ store in Winnlpauk, and
Mr. S. pulled by Bell from the wagon—Par-
trick making lively tracks for the bushes—
his pocket book containing about $50 forci-
bly taken from him. Mr. S. returned forth-
with to the Bridge and made complaint to
ofiicer Bartram who at once arrested Dulli-
van and found on him $21. Soon after, Bell
was arrested and 320 found with him, and
seeing he had got into a tight spot be con-
fessed the whole transaction. Both of these
non-transpareat individuals were noticed by
S. B. Monroe and others in his store just be-
fore the robbery, and was observed-to watch
very closely Mr. Scribner’s money as it was
being there counted. A gentleman who
lives in Wethersfield in charge of an educa-
tory State institution there, is preparing for
these twin colored “pussons” a thanksgiving
dinner, for which it is to be hoped they will
arrive in that locality in season.

ST. PAUL’S,\..Nonwsr.k, Oct. 26th, 1867.
BY THE aurnon or WOOD mosses.
All softly falls the colored light,
The sweetest sunbeams smile
Upon the train of surpliced priests
Along the hallowed aisle.
Above in pictured trecery,
The holy emblems shine—
Thc Cross, the Sacramental Bread.
The Chalice and the Vine.
Well may the golden sunbeams shine
Where chant and prayer are poured ;
To-day St. Paul’s all beautiful,
Is holy to the Lord.
How many at this Chancel rail
Shall gather strength divine,
Upon how many, many brows -
This colored light shall shine.
On manhood’s weary, caFc-worn brow,
And cliildliood‘s sunny curls,
Where gleam the dews of baptism,
Bright drops, like shining pearls.
And here shall stand the veil'd bride,
Fair as her orange flower,
And angel forms shall hover near
To bless her in that hour. ,
.Here, too, in snowy‘lillies dressed.
Our dead in Christ we lay,
That by our forms'our mother church
May kneel and sweetly pray.
Do well thy holy ‘work for Christ
Oh beautiful St.Pauls,
And oh may all who offer prayers
Within these holy walls,
Find life's sad burden lighter grow
And closs‘er clasp the cross,
For love of Him who loved us all
And counted life aloss.
Grow never weary of thy task,
But work thy work of love;
Still pointing in this weary world
_ To God's sweet Heaven above.
St. Paul's Church, Sunday, was visited by
alarge and attentive congregation incident
upon the annual visitation of the Bishop of
the Diocese. Bishop Williams is deservedly
popular not only among his own ecclesiasti-
91 friends, but his pro-eminent pulpit tal-
ents have gained for him an enviable and
just reputation among all the church goers
of Connecticut. Hence, whenever the time
for his visitation to Norwalk arrives, those
who can appreciate a good sermon are sure
to hear him. Many were disappointed in
the morning service when the Rev. Dr. Hal-
lam, of New London, occupied the place they
had supposed the Bishop was to fill. Dr.
Hallam, however, gave an excellent discourse
describing how Christ is visible to his chosen
flock while invisible to the world. After
the sermon the Episcopal rite of confirmatio
was administered by the Bishop, laying hi
hands upon eleven obedient servants oi
the master.. The rite was very impres-
sively administered, while the deep silence
resting upon the large congregation gave
abundant proof of the presence of the Spirit.
After the rite had been administered the
Bishop addressed to those just having recev-
ed the holy blessing, a few but exceedingly
apprdpriate and eloquent words of counsel
and admonition, which contained more bible
doctrine and more valuable information than
many long winded sermons.
In the evening the Bishop preached with-
out notes a most eloquent and scholarly dis-
course, to alarge and deeply interrested au-
dience. We wish for the sake of hearing
the Bishop that the rite of confirmation were
administered more frequently.

Base Ball.
On Wednesday last, the “ Bridgeport"
South Norwalk, on the gonads of the San
Souci, club. The Alerts were unwilling to
play, their pitcher (captain of the nine) and
lst baseman being absent, and they commen-
ced the game with the expectation of being
beaten, their opponents vaunting their own
strength. Two of the Alert club were dis-
abled during the gum. The captain of the
Alert nine, we understand. for certain rea-
sons, claims the game to count for nothing
and challenges the Bridgeports to play again
this week.‘ As itwas the game was very
close, and it is evident the Alerts would have
been the victors if their regular pitcher had
been present. If another game is played
we hope that both clubs will have out their
strongest men. We give the score beipw :—

The return match between the first'nine of
the Forest B. B. club, and the second nine of
the Liberty club was played on the grounds
of the former, on Friday the 25th, resulting
in favor of the Forrest by a score of 54 to 43.
Owing to a glaring sun shining full in the
face of all the fielders, the game resolved it-
self into a genuine muffin match at the start,
the Liberty boys making 20 runs and the
Forest 18 in the first inning, which was
played in exactly 60 minutes. The umpire,
Mr. Vandewater of the Sans Souci B. B. C.,
deserves much credit for the manner in which
he performed the duties .of his position, the
imperfect arrangements of bases, do, making
his post a peculiarly trying one. On the con-
clusion of the game the captain of the Liber-
ty nine immediately challenged the Forrest
to play the third game on the grounds of the
Sans Souci B, B. C., on Friday next at 1

club came over and played the “Alerts" of
Bad Boys. ~
If there be one thing. more than another
which should challenge the thoughtful con-
sidcraticn of all good citizens, it is the large
numbers of young boys, both at the Bridge
and South Norwalk, foaming the streets at
all hours of the night. These kids are main-
ly smart, boys ; even their low 'and deprav-
ed wit, vulguily and offensively forced up-
on the unwilling cars of passers by, prove
this. Here at the Bridge no night pisses
that bands of them are not encountered,
sauntering upon the side-walks and disgust-
ing all with their obscene and profane utter-
ances, or racing and scgeaming through the
middle of the streets like wild,young savages.
Parents are mainly to blame for this condi-
tion of things and we implore them to have
a care to their young sons—know when, in
what manner they spend their evenings, and
whenno safer or better place may be found,
we adjure them to keep them at home. It
is really distressing to witness the evidences
of juvenile depravity, nightly exhibited by
bright, wide-awake boys, who have only too
indulgent parents, permitting them to roam
the streets at night and on the sabbath ex-
posed to all the contaminations of the idle
and vicious. ,We refer here, more particu-
larly to lads who are under parental control.
There is another 'class of larger growth so
confirmed in their viscics habits that noth-
ing short of police authority, can disperse
their peace disturbing gangs. And here
comes'up one of the strongest appeals for a
municipal government which shallbe able to
empower officers to prevent mischief and pet'-
ty crimes, as well as to arrest and punish af-
ter its commission. A city charter is our
greatlocal need, in this, as imperitively, as
in other respects. It is safer and cheaper
and better in all respects, to save these boys,
than to support them in 'our jails and pene-
tentiaries. In the city of Bangor, they
led the “Truant Constable," whose special
duty it is to disperse knots of mischievous
Such an ofiieer would find active occupa-
tion in Norwalk. ,,
Appropas to the above suggestions, we ap-
prehend that our christian churches, might
and ought to take some active measure to-
wards reclaiming the idle and viscious, both
young and old, who now find the streets,
the fields, the harbour and grogery, the then-
tre of their sabbath recreation. Dr. Childsjn
the introduction to his discourse last sabbath
thus cnjoins and emphasises his views of the
dutiesnnd obligations ot'his people, and we
commend the suggestions to the members
of all other religious denominations; as wor-
thy of their grave consideration--
“ We are-deeply impressed , 'and it would
seem that no one could reflects moment and
fail to be impressed with the immense
amount of undeveloped power in this church.
rLook at its numbers ; look at its intellii
gence; look at its position ; look at its pecu-
Dniu'ry resources. Certainly it is for no want
of either of these if it fails to make its in-
fluence felt a‘saleading power in this com-
munity and this commenwealth." In num.
bers, we are enough to touch every neigh-
borhood and every family within our bounds
with an influence that shall be felt and rec-
ognized. In intelligence, give as half the
mental energy and activity that are shown
in every department of business by the mem-
bers of this congregation, in the work Of
Christ, and we will show you, if God bless-
es who is wont to bless, a regenerated com-
munity, and a Church shining in the beauty
'of holiness, and in the manifested power of
the life of the risen Christ. '
Let us suppose for a moment that all the
talents which the Lord has given to this
Church (and how many of them, my dear
brethren, are now buried in the earth wait-
ing His return?) were consecrated to" Him
with any kind of reasonable devotion, can
you conceive the change ? Suppose the
same zeal with which men pursue their secu-
lar ceilings were turned into the channel of
christian efl‘ort, so that the merchant, for ex-
ample, were as earnest in saving souls as he
is in selling his goods ; the man of enter-
prise as anxious to persuade his friend to se-
cure the part which shall never be taken
away from him, as he is to have him invest
in a scheme that promises worldly advant-
age; those who are honorably zealous for
the public prosperity of the place were equal-
ness of its individual inhabitants; suppose
the interest and labor spent in bringing every
voter to the polls in an important election,
were spent in bringing the same men into
the kingdom of God and of glory; suppose
,all the ease and courtesy and freedom Of
speech with which you meet each other in the
daily intercourse of life were under the per-
manent power of the spirit of Christ and
went forth as spontaneously in the expres-
sion of christian interest and affection as
they now do in the‘ expression of social
amenities, such a fact itself would be a
transformation like life from the dead, and
could hardly fail to herald the coming day
of the Lordin the midst of us. The. power
of sucha baptism of the spirit is wonderful.”

For the Gozetle.
Miss Anna Dickinson.
Mnssns. Europa—I had been led to ex-‘
pect by the high, popular estimate of Miss
Dickinson’s power 'as a Lecturer, ‘0 'hear
from heriips, last Tuesday evening, an able,
original and eloquent address. My, disap-i;
pointmcnt, after hearing the “young Quaker:
ess" on her favorite theme, “ Idiots and
Women," was equalled only by my wonder
that this lady should hold the high rank
which is accorded to her, in this country, as
a public speaker. Yet when it is remem.
bercd that John B. Gough draws the largest '
crowds of any orator in America, it is per-
haps not strange that the services of Miss
Dickinson, as a speaker, are in such great de-
mand. The popular notion of eloquence is
that some persons have the power of enter-
taining and convincing those who hold the
same opinions with themselves. “ If I mis-
take not," says Hume, “our modern elo-
quence is of the same style or species with
that which ancient critics denominated attic
eloquence, that is, calm, elegant and subtle,
which instructed the reason more than it af’
fected the passions, and never raised its tone
above argument or common discourse.” This
is anything butthe popular idea of eloquence
in America at the present day. But a few
words in regard to Miss Dickinson.
She evince: very little depth or amplitude
of thought. She is not original, either in
what she says or in her manner of present-
ing her views. I know not by what standard
she can rank as an eloquent speaker. Her
lecture is thoroughly memorized, and she
“speaks her piece" with fluency. She sei-
dom forgets a sentence or a word, but just
often enough to make apparent the difference
between her studied and her impromptu ef-
forts. Even withher full, deep, sonorous
voice, her anunciation is faulty, frequently
indistinct, while the inflection which she ha—
bitually gives to her sentences reminds one
of the conventional tone of a certain class of
pulpit craters. Her efforts at pathos end in
rant. She appears to no better advantage
when she affects to be witty. For a woman
she gives evidence of very little imagination
or ideality. She but rarely makes use of
similes, imagery, or other rhetorical embel-
lishments. She is too poetical and definite
to. grasp abstract theories and never ventuns
into the realms of fancy. She is no exception
to ‘the rule that women are incapable of
sound reasoning. If her premises are un-
questionable, her conclusions are often an-
warranted, and sometimes in no way related
to, or dependent on her primary propoaition.
From an unsual and exceptional incident,
she announces as a legitimate deduction
some great and important principle. Two
or three of her lady acquaintances, through
failure to conform with certain legal formali-
ities, lose possession of their property, or
at their demise, it is disposed of different-
ly from what they wished; ergo, she argues
the laws governing the transfer. and trasmis-
sion of property have been made for man‘s
special advantage and that woman ought to
be premilted to assist in their modification.
Answering the objection, sometimes urged
that woman’s voting would not effect the re-
- suit, but only swell the number of votes on
-both sides, she declares that ’tis false; for
there are forty thousand drunkards' wives in
New York who would vote differently from
their husbands.
- there are forty thousand women of another
churacter.w'ho would vote with those drunk-
en husbands. ,With rare consistency, reply-
ing to the statement that woman should be
satisfied With the influenceshe already exerts
in her variou‘s relations, on the opposite sex,
she cOnfidently affirms that man’s influence
on woman is vastly greater, and in a few mo-
ments trying to magnify the" necessity of el-
evating woman, she declares it is now a set-
tled fact that the character of the mother has
almost infinitely more influence than that ‘ of
the father, in shaping the life and destiny of
the child. In her zeal to make out a case,
she declares that the opposition to female
sufi'rage comes principally from small mind-
ed unmasculine men, while men of large
brains and strong, manly natures, are willing
to grant it to theirmothers, wives and sisters.
The men who attend “Woman’s Rights” con-
ventions, they are not,as some have supposed,
lacking in masculinity, while the great mass
of the male population is made up of efi'em-
inates! ., I repeat Miss Dickinson’s forte is
not reasoning. She has not much construc-
tive talent. She rarely attempts to build up
affirmative arguments. Her active combati-
tiveness rather impells her to aim at demol-
ishing objections. But here sh fails to state
objections with anything likc'their real force.
She likes to set up straw-men of shape and
aizeZconvenient to be knocked dow'n,and then
to pitch into them with all her might, rc-

a paper recently mentioning that a woman of
that city had been fined as a common scold,
thought it proper to add that Anna Dickinson
was absent from‘that city. She is not without
egotism, vanity and a large “bump" of self-
esteem, but she does not exhibit these traits
of character in an uafeminine or very ofi'en-
sive manner.
Her personal. appearance is prepossessing.
She is young, evidently in robust hellh, has a
form of remarkable symmetry, a well poised
head, a low but broad, full forehead, large:
expressive eyes, and a face’ beaming within-
telligence and earnestness: She makes Ia
very fine figure on the platform. She has de-
cision, firmness and plenty of will-p0 wer.
She is hopeful and perseveringand evident-
ly believes in agitation and action. To her
youth, her beauty, her energy and earnest-
near must be ascribed in a great degree the
favor in which she is held and the populari-
ty which she enjoys as a public speaker.
Let no one fancy I am prejudiced against
Miss Dickinsou because of her subject and
her opinions thereon. I am in favor of
Woman's Rights, and today would willing-
ly cast my vote in favor of trying the experi-
ment of female suffrage. I have simply giv-
en my views 'of. Miss Dickinson as a speak»
er. As a young woman, I admire her, in
common with mostyoung men probably,
who have heard her. ', B. r. U.

WW6 give place to the above,from‘ a high.
ly respectable source, as one of the “counter
opinions" entertained by a portion of. the
public. Perhaps “mecca” is the best mxiem
criterion of oratory. And in this respecl,the
admirers of Miss Dickinson might reply with
the same logical assurance as did the priso-
ner when positively. told by his attorney
“they can’t put-you in jail,- sir ;” “but,” inter-
posed the already incarcerated culprit, "I am
here!" With the exception of Mr: Gough,
no person has draivn larger audiences than
Miss D. In ourjudgment, Wendell Phillips
is the greatest of living American Orators.
yet we doubt it he ever leaves the Lyceum
Treasury half so pleth‘Oric as does the “pret-
ty Quakeress.” The principal objections
urged by our correspondent-against Miss D.
can be urged with equal propriety against
most of our leading public speakers. '
As regards woman suffrage, we deem that
it well be a fortunate day for our Republican
government when the mother shall accom-
pany her firstborn tothe ballot'box' with the
same sense of womanly obligation and duty,
that she now bears.her child to the baptis-
mal font. ‘ ' '4 ' - '

and peculiarly interesting entertainment at

EDGARTOWN, Mass, Oct.‘19, 1867. l
. Mnssns. EDrro'nsz—Throughjhe kindness
of‘ friends, we have .had the opportunity of
perusing the last two numbers of your GA-
za'r'ra', and have found therein a violent at-
tack upon ourselves, for, as is alleged, the
barbarous punishment of a young schoolgirl
of fifteen. ’ -
So far as we, ourselves, are concerned we
would willingly pass the matter by in silent
contempt, as it deserves, but we feel that du-
ty to personal friends,nnder the eyes of some
of whom it may fall, demands some expla-
nation on our part. _
In the first place the misdemeanor was not
slight. In the second, the punishment was
not inflicted with a heavy ferrule, neither waa
it inflicted upon the head or neck. In the
third place it was not done in anger; but it
committee, as well as in accordance with our
sense of right and duty.
And finally, that the punishment was not
unduly severe, is we think sufficiently evi- .
dent fi'om the fact that we are still retained,
and sustained in our position; although we
have repeatedly tendered our resignation;
and although a couple of "gallants" from
Norwalk, Conn., exerted themselves to the
best of their ability, to arouse the community
to a sense of the outrage inflicted upon them,
they sfgnally failed ; and We have not, as
yet, heard even the firu responsible com-
plaint from a single citizen of Edgartown.
The attack is no more than we might ex-
pect iroma couple of “gallants,” who were
willing to neglect their legitimate business to
attend to that of other people, and who were
unreasonable enough to take the story of a
girl of fifteen, and not pass a single wordhp-
on the matter either with ourselves or the
committee. . g _ ,
With all due deference to the State of Con-
necticut, and the good people of Norwalk,
we beg leave to assure them that the State of
Massachusetts is usually regarded as stand-
any other, not excepting the State of Con-
necticut, and as has been recently and repea-
tedly demonstrated they will sustain even
corporeal; punishment, when necessary
to secure good order.
And now, Messrs. Editors, 1' claim as a
simple act of justice on your part, the same
publicity to this ;communlcation as that of-
forded to the one signed E. & H., in your is-
sueof the 151k inst, _
- Respectfully Yours,
. . W. B. ADAMS.
(3‘ We very cheerfully publish the above
as a matter of justice. We have no personal
knowledge of the facts in the controversy;
and are to have no part in it,but we do know
that two citizens of South Norwalk of the
highest respectability and character in our
community, were there at the time of the
punishment, and they were informed by the
citizens of Edgartown that it was excessive
and "brutal.” We do not understan our
correspondent, after all.~to deny the main
statement, that he did inflict a severe corpo-
real pnnishment publicly upon a young lady
of fifteen, and we mildly suggest whether it
would not have been . more creditably to
teacher, committee and the system of educa-
tion in Massachusetts, if said young lady had
been quietlv expelled from the school where
she could not be governed otherwise than by
the ferrule.

Poisoning Case in Greenwich.
V (Concluded)
Mn. CHILD followed for the prosecution,
in an able and eloquent argument, to which
our brief synopsis must neecessarily do in-
justice. He said that reference had already
.case. The prosecution had shown strong
explainedi: .. A. presumption must stand
until the contrary is proven. The fact
that Mr. Willacc had been poisoned was in-
disputable. Able and eminent physicians
whose personal and professional characters
were unimpeacbed had shown this without
doubt. The coffee was rank with poison.
The possession of the poison by the prison-
ers, unexplained by them as it was, created
astrong presumption against them. This
presumption, the defence had not attempted
Mr. Wallace, and the remark that had been
made with reference thereto,he hoped bothfor
himself and his friend on the defence, that
when the same great summons came for them,
that Mr.Wallace thought had come for him, it
would be received with the slime readiness,
the same equanimity, and the same calm
resignation. .He regretted the evident design
of the defence to treat this serious matter as
a joke and farce. The State had shown all
they claimed in their complaint. Why had
not the defence met the presumptions raised
against them 1’ Was there an abscence of
motive ? Was it permitted that we should
go into the human heart to discover the mo
tives that actuated men 1’ It has been
said by the counsel iordhe prisoners, that
if there was here a murderous intent insanity
this plea of moral insanity. When afew years
ago Huntington the forget, who had system-
atically made his living by this crime, was
brought before the bench ; when counsel
had eloquently and ably urged this defence;
then to the honor of our sister state, be it
spoken, the plea was rejected and the crimi-
nal was sentenced. No motive here i What
was the motive that influenced Bridget Dar-
gan who expiated her crimes upon the gal-
lows a few weeks since 1’ She had a good
home. a kind mistress, yet how insignificant
. the motive for the commission omie murder 1
The defence had claimed that there was har-
mony and good feeling betwuen the parties ;
that no harsh words had passed ; no threats
been made. They had referred to the ap-
pearance of the prisoners and‘bpokcn of the
smile upon their face, and then had asked if
these min looked like murderers. The old
poet’s description of this crime was as true
today as then, when he spoke of it as
“ M order with a smile upon his race
_ And a sword hid in his garment."
Had the design of the prisoners succeeded, it
would have been no less murder than if they
‘had taken the life of Mr. Wallace with the
knife. The unusual action of Hugh Murray
in inviting Wallace to the shed taking him
from God’s sunlight to the darkness, was not
without a motive. This presumption was
unexplained. It. had not been rebutted. . Cir-
cumstantial evidence when well connected,
was the strongest evidence that could be pro-
duced, and in this case where link after link
had been formed, where a perfect network of
testimony had been bound around the pris-
oners, they must repel the preaumptions that
had been rtiised,.or stand convicted of the
crime. The prosecution had shown its facts
conclusively; the defence denied them not.
If the prisoners were innoceet then let them
go; if not, the commonwealth demanded
that their crimes should receive due punish:
ment. ‘ 3 _
Hon. Jumus B. Cormss followed for the
defence. He said it had been remarked in
the opening argument for the prosecution
that a' great public excitement was «cured
with reference to this case. This might be
so. Any event of this kind would create an
excitement in a community. But thecase
was not to be decided with reference to this
eXeitement, but simply in accordance with
the facts shown by the testimony. . Had the
prosecution made out their case 1' They had
assumed sorrowful faces and put on expres-
sions of seriousness, and attempted to digni-
fy their examination by an appearance of
earnestness. It was true that probable
ground was all that was necessary to he
shown with respect to every part of the
charges. It must be shown that Wallace had
been poisoned ; tha he was poisoned by
Croton Oil, and that he prisoners were the
guilty parties. The State had not shown
that Croton Oil was a poison. They had
failed in their attempts. They had not even
reference to the Statute under which the
prosecution was brought. At most nothing
more could be maintained b them than a
was done by the adviceand consein of the ‘
ing fully ashigh in educational matters, as
been made to the law applicable to the
presumptiona against the .prisoncrs, and'
not one of them had been rebutted or
'to meet. With reference tothe testimony of
was the fiend. He remembered something of
. l"
cipai witnesses for tile prosecution had, on
his cross-examination, been asked what the
taste of. Croton Oil was like, and had replied
that it was like Croton Oil and nothing else.
This reminded him (Curtis) of the Irish-
man's'dcscription of the size of a stone; he
said it was about the size of a piece of chalk.
And the answer of the witness was about as
intelligible. It had been claimed by the
Counsel for the State that the charges against '
the prisoners had been proved. This was ab-
surd. No proof whatever had been furnish-
ed convicting Peter, no presumption had
been raised against him. What was the
charge contained in the complaint? Was it
meant that the coffee was a deadly poison,
or the Croton Oil? It seemed to him that
the complaint should be void for duplicity.

The Normal School.
.A meeting of gentlemen from different
parts of the State, interested in the cause of
Education, has recently been held in Hart:
ford. We presume the principal subject of
consideration was the suspension of the Nor-
mal School by the last General Assembly.—
We regard that suspension as eminently un-
wise. We have no doubt that grave mis-
takes and a half-educated cmpiricism have
injured the inflnpnce of the School in years
past; but the remedy was notin the destruc-
tion of the School, but in the change of man-
agement, which had already been inaugura-
ted. The principle of Normal Schools is
settled by abundant experience, and Connect-
icut cannot afford to take that immense step
backward that is involved in this repudiation
.of the principle.

numbers of delegates were present from
nearly all the subordinate Divisions in the
jurisdiction. Twenty-two delegates repre-
senting seventeen scbordinate Divisions,
were innitiated and assigned to seals in the
Grand Division. The annual reports were
of an able and interresting character and ex-
hibited the Order in a sound and healthy
condition b iihmorrally and financially, and
also the accession of four new Divisions
since tlia last annual session. It was appar-
rent to all present that there is great neces-
sity for more labor in the cause of tempe-
rance, and the multiplying of new tempe-
rance organizations is an evidence that the
warfare with the great social evil 'is to be
warged with greater' vigor than has hereto-

Dr. Schenck on Dyspepsia.
SYMPTOMS, CAUSES ,AND REMEDIES.
ymptoms ot'Dys pepsin—A sense offullncss, ti ht-
ness, and weight in the stomach, together with at-
ulency, acrdity, sour, offensive. belching of wind,
water-brash and vomiting, and a great deal of what
a person calls an all-gone feelinaat the pit of the
stomach : frequently there is a so a alpitaiion of
ease, and when the stomach is in this conditon it is
coated with _a mucus or slime. The rough, fibrous
portion of the stomach, similar to what we see in
tripe, is what throws put the gastric juice, and when
the stomach gets a thick coat of slime on it, it pro-
vents the strlc juice from flowing, and digestion
ceases. henck’s seaweed ton lc disolvcs this mucus
abtsilime, and restores the stomach to its natural con-
on. .
Schcnk‘s Mandrake Pills are also required to carry

Consumption are caused from this diseased state of
the stomach: the liver becoming torpid causes to
