GREEN WICII.
About the middle of January last. Mr. Joel L. chs-
tis had stolen from his dwelling two U. S. bonds 5 one
for $500 and another for 5100, no clue could be discov.
cred relatvic to the money or rogue until Friday last
when a man by the name of Charles E. Browne, who
had been in the employ of Mr. lleustis, for a short
time only, offered to sell the $100 bond in NewYork;
to a party who, fortunately happened to be acquaint-_I
ed with the facts of the robbery alluded to and dis-
cription of the bonds stolen. Brown was according-
ly arrested, when’ it appeared that the moncyhad
been stolen by a former employee of Mr. Ileustis nam—.
- ed John C. Holtzopele who hid the money in the barn
at the thne and was subsequently deprived of an op-
portunity o‘fsccuring his booty. In order to obtain it
he had to make some arrangement with Brown.—
Their_cfl'orts to get the first one converted into cash
resulted as above styed, also in the arrest of lloltzo-
pole and the recovery of the bonds. They were ex-
amined before Gideon Close, Earp, and committed to
prison to await the action of the Grand jury.
NOROTON.
Noroton Station is on'thc N. Y. (B N. H. R. IL, in
the town of Daricn, a short distance from the Stam-
ford line, and three miles from Stamford depot.
The name Noroton was given by the Indians, to the
small river which divides the tontowns. -
This station which is rapidly growing in importance
from its near-ncss to the city of New York, and its
contignlty to the flourishing village of Stamford, and
being situated in one of the most healthful and bean-
tiful towns in the State makes it amost desirable sum-
mer residence for persons desiring good society, and
at the same time easy and quick transit to the city, as
business may demand.
At no station on the N. Y. 8.7 N. H. R. R., withso
many attractions is property held at such reasonable
prices as at this; but manifestly the prices cannot rc~
main low,.as beautiful dwellings, churches, stores, the,
are multiplied. The advantage of this location will
place the value of its real estate far above that of
some stations which are now so popular.
The views of Long Island Sound with its many
beautiful bays and islands, cannot be surpassed, and
all who have had experience in judging the character
of delightful drives, and rural vicwswillapprcciate its
diversified loveliness. As for its healthfulucss, one
has only to refer to the esteemed medical faculty of N.
Y., among whom can be mentioned Drs. Willard Par-
ker, Edward Dclafleld, Alonzo Clark, Banks, Sabine,
. F. If. Hamilton, &c.
Indeed the professional men, and the artists, the
men of taste and culture are making this vicinity
their permanent summer home.
The accessablity of the place is a great consideration.
The trains of the New Haven railroad stop at this
station and the passengers are not obliged to trust
themselves to uncertain ferry boats, nor to be carried
through swamps and dismal places which breed fevers
and other diseases.
The proposed steam railroads through the city, will
bring this location much nearer for the down town
merchant or banker,—so that when these are comple-
ted the ride to his business will be far more pleasant
than that by the present. omnibus or city car from 84th
Street, and the time of transit will be but little longer.
During last year Noroton Station and neighborhood
was greatly improved by the owners of property in the
vicinity, involving a cost of many thousand dollars
and during this year the depot buildings will be great
ly enlarged, and the grounds laid out. and beautified:
The amount necessary to perform the work has been‘
subscribed already. '

Vltal Statlstles of Connecticut.
The report of the State librarian to the
legislature for the year 1867 shows that there
were 12,029 births registered during the year,
a larger number.than ever before reported
during one year, being an increase of 406
over 1866, of 1,827 over 1865, and of 2,295
ovcr1864. The natural increase of popula-
tion,o ‘ c excess of births over deaths, was
4,686, hieh is greater than in any year since
1859. Of 1.1 ,053 births where sex was re-
portcd, 6,286 were males and 5,667 females,
the proportion being 110.92 males to 100 fe-
males. There were 108 cases of plurality of
births, 115 illegitimate, and 220 colored.
There were 4,779 marriages during the
year, being 199 less than in 1866. Of these,
4,184 were between parties both of whom
were residents of Connecticut. In 463 cases
men from other states showed their good
taste by coming here to seek wives ; and
there were 106 marriages between non-resi-
dents; 3,107, or 66.2 out of every 100, were
betWeen native Americans; 1,195 between
foreigners; 138 between native males and
foreign females, and 260 foreign men found
brides among native women. I‘hcre were 83
marriages between colored persons, and two
mixed marriages, both of colored men to
white women-one being in Hartford county
and one in Windham.
The registry of deaths numbers 7,343, of
which 3,582 were males and 3,664 females.
The aggregate was 166 less than in 1866.
Of the deaths 184 were of ,colored persons.
The causes of death were: tymotie diseases,
or epidemic, endemic and contagious, 1,520;
diseases of uncertain seat, 739; diseases of
the nervous organs, 1,765 (1,117 being of con-
sumption and 489 of pneumonia); of the circu-
lativc organs,248; of the digestive organs,307;
of the generative organs, 101 ; of the urinary
organs, 92 (43 of childln'rth); of the locomo-
-tive organs, 43; of the integumentivc organs,
10 ; violence (including 90 from accidents,
27 from burns and sculds, 68 from drowning,
and 25 from suicide), 287; unknown causes,
516; stillborn 331. The statistics furnish
rather a startling commentary on theimpru-
deuce of humanity and the general failure,
to obey‘ natural laws, in the fact that of the
7,343 deaths only 430 were from old age.
Statistical tables are given showing the num-
ber of deaths from some of the most fatal
diseases during fourteen years, from 1854 to
'1867. Duringthis time there were 601
deaths in the State by cholera (25 in 1867);
3297 by cholera infantum; 1,947 by eroup;
4,085 by dysentery and diarrhoea; and 4,891
by typhus fever. During the eight years
from 1860 to 1867, there were 2,683 deaths
by diphtheria in” the State. During the last
fourteen years there have been 14,951 deaths
from consumption alone in the State—an
annual average of 1,068. This frightful dc-
grec of fatality leads the statistician to in-
quire into the causcs'of the disease. Ilcrc-
ditary causes of course, accountfor a. part,
but the belief is expressed that the confine-
.mcnts of sedentary occupation causes much,
and the constant inspiration of irritatin g
matters in workshops far more. In view of
the fact that much of the disease is due to
causes clearly preventative, the report says
“' it becomes a. serious question whether a
commission or board of inspectors should
not be appointed and employed to examine,
and empowered to compell the introduction
and use in all places where human beings,
are long confined daily, of such sanitary
measures as the health of the inmates imper-
ativcly demands.” There have been 5,277
deaths from pneumonia during the past four-
teen years, an annual average of 377. From
zymotic, or dis ses clearly preventable, the
deaths during c fourteen years, have been
54,965, an annual average of 1,788.
The number of divorces granted in. the
state during the year was 459, of whom 122
were granted upon the husband’s petition,
and 281 on the wife’s. A, table of causes is
given, but it is not deemed reliable, and the
report recommends that a law be passed
compelling-the true cause and ground of di-
vorce to be given in a direct language in the
returns. The causes ‘as returned were ab-
sence not heard of, 4; adultery, 118; cruelty,
78;desertion, 158; fraudulent contract, 6;
intemperance, 89 ; misconduct, 190; sentence
to life imprisonment, 1. If any are startled
because the number of divorces is so large,
they may perhaps derive aiittle comfort in
the fact that the number is less by 20 than
in 1866. The tables from which we derive
these statistics affords a deeply interesting
study. ' They are made up with great care
by Mr. Charles J. Hoadley, state librarian.

The Most Complete Janlliade.
Its Superior Advantages.
Finer—Its completeness in its arrangements and
combinations as a perfect fruit preserver. I
SnooxD—Itis provided with a divided Ring, which
is easily attached to or detached from the Neck of the
Jar. and secured by a Ball.
Titian—When the band and ball are applied, its
combinations form a complete handle, thereby dis-
pensing with all lifters or other appliances, which
have hitherto been in use for removing the J ar'from
Iboiling water.
FOURTH-It is constructed with a Glass Cover, which
sets over the neck of the Jar, resting on an elastic
band on the outer surface of the shoulder, thus pre-
venting any flavor being imparted to the fruit by ine-
talic or poisonous substances. This advantage alone
renders its superiority such as to brinint info imme-
diate and general use with the public.

AFTER TWO AND ONE HALF YEARS EXPERIENCE THE FACT IS NOW ESTABLISHED BEYOND A DOUBT, THAT
South Norwalk. Conn.
coo MIILIEs on THE
Union Pacific
Rm - ROAD
Arc now finished and in operation. Sixty miles of
track have been laid this spring, and the work along
the whole line between the Atlantic and Pacific States
is being pushed forward more rapidly than ever be-
fore. lil'orc than twenty thousand men are employed
nd it is not impossible that; the entire track, from
Omaha to Sacramento, will be finished in 1369 instead
of 1870. The means provided are ample, and all that
energy, men and money can do to secure the comple-
tion of this
' GREAT NATIONAL worm,
at the earlicst possible day, will be done.
The UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD CO. receive:
I.'—A Government Grant of the right of way,
and all necessary timber and other materials found
along the line of its operations. .
IL— A Government Grant of 12,500 acres of_
land to the mile, taken in alternate sections 0,,
each side of its road. This is an absolute dona-
tion, and will be a source of large revenue in the
future.
III.—A Govennncnt Grant of United States
Thirty year Bonds. amounting to from 816,000 to
843,000 per mile, according to the ditllcultics to be
surmounted on the various sections to be built.
The Government takes a second mortgage as se-
curity. and it is expected that not only the interest
but the principal amount may be paid in services
rendered by the Company in transporting trOOps,
mails, &c. The interest is now much more than
. paid in this way, besides scouring a great saving
in time and money to the Government. '
IV.—A Government Grant of the_right to is-
sue its FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, to aid in
building the road, to the same amount as the U.
S. Bonds, issued for the same purpose, and no
more. Tm: Govunsnsxr PERMITS the Trustees for
the Mortgage Bondholdcrs to deliver the Bonds to
the Company only as the road is completed, and
after it has been examined by United States Com-~
missioners mid pronounced to be in all respects a
first-class Railroad, laid with a heavy T rail, and
completely supplied with depots, stations, tuni-
outs, car-shops, locomotives, cars, .l‘cc.
N.—A Capital Stock Subscrlpllon from the
Stockholders, of which over Eight Millian Dollars
have been paid in upon‘ the work already done,-
and will be‘increascd as the wants of the Compa-
ny require.
VL—th Cash Earnings on its Way Business,
that already amount to more than the interest on
the First Mortgage Bonds. These earnings are no
indication of the vast through traffic that must fol-

The Union Pacific Bonds run, thirty years, are for
$1,000 each, and have coupons attached. They bear an-
nual interest, payablgon 1e first-days of January and
July at the Company’s Ofllcc in the City of New York,
at the rate of six per cent. in gold. ThePrincipal is
payable in gold at maturity: The price is 102, and at
the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal income on
their cost. '
The Company believe that these Bonds, at thepres-
cut rate are the cheapest security in yhc market, and
reserve the right to advance the price at any time.
Subscriptions will be received‘in New York.
