But the dashing Frederick and some-

this sudden filthan ever that he should
more ncfi'dhrding‘ly, when he found him-
saxdbnc with her, he plunged into the sub-
jact with astonishing eloquence. If he had
cared less for her he might have seen that,
in spite of her smiles and her even voice,
she was not quite ready to listen to him;
but full of his fear of losing her, full of his
hopes of being successful, he thought of
nothing but of what he had been longing
to say for weeks, and he spoke out boldly,
like a susceptible, honest young fellow, as
he was.
Cecil was rather pale as she listened to
poor Fred, and even when she answered
him, her color did not rise again.
It was a very quiet answer which she
gave him, and worded with a tenderer re-
gard for his warmth and honesty than many
women would have had the graceful power
to show : but it was a bitter pill for all that.
“ I do not love you," she said, in the end,
with a touch of impetuousness. “ I wish I
did. But let us be friend’s for Laura’s
sake.”
He did not ask her to try to love him, he
was quick enough to know better than that,
and generous enough not to force upon her
the sharpness Of his disappointment; but,
for all that, he did not wear the brightest
of faces when he assisted her from the car-
range.
But he bore it like a man.
“ It‘s allover, Laura,” he said to his favor—
ite confidante, the first time they were alone
for a moment. “I have asked her to be my
wife, and she said no; and though _I don’t
pretend to be a particularly penetrating fol-
low, I think I may thank John Manners
for it.”
“ Ah, Fred i” exclaimed Laura. “ The
idea 1 She hates him :
like hiin.’
“ Did she tell you she hated him ‘2” asked
Fred uietl .
“ WEIR—ab,” hesitated Laura. “ But she
never speaks of him when she can avord it
and, besides, Fred, you know she— she
wouldn’t suit him.”
“Wouldn’t she?” said Fred, dryly. “Per-
haps not ; but at the same time, perhaps,
that is'a matter of opinion.”
Poor affectionate Laura! The news that
her air-castles had fallen to the dust was a
terrible disappointment to her, and she re-
proached Cecil most pathetically.
“ Oh, Cecil!” she broke out, as they sat
alone together,later in the evening. “.Oh,
Cecil! WVhy didn’t you say yes to Fred?
Do on love. an one else ?”
“ *0,” said ecil, sharply. “Of course
not. You dear, silly child, what nonsense i”
But the next moment the rose—red faded
white, swept away by the swift throb of the
stung pride, Which showed her so plainly
that she had not spoken the truth, and that,
in spite of herself, she had turned coward.
When the fact of Fred Dacrc’s rejection
reached Miss Anne, she was more oratorical
than ever.
“ Of course i” she proclaimed, with a sort
of grim satisfaction, “ nothing more than I
expected. It is just like her.”
As for John Manners, he only looked at
the fair, proud face a thought more keenly
than usual, and learning nothing from it,
turned to his books again with a regretful
sigh. Not his ideal, certainly, this haughty
girl, and yet he'had loved her veiy dearly.
So it went on from day to day with a ter—
rible sense of humiliation in Cecil Dare, and
a growing impatience of herself, which it
needed all the haughty intolerance, that was
her greatest fault, to subdue. She had been
bitter enough through this very intolerance
against people who had criticised her be-
fore ; htit she hadbeen terribly bitter against
John Manners, and through this very intol-
erance she grew as utterly wretched as it is
possible for a girl of twenty to be. If she
could have borne her enemy down with her
calm eyes, and her calmer smiles, she might
have felt even so small a victory some ag-
grandizement—but it was a drawn battle.
John Manners never forgot himself for an
instant. He kept to the library a little
more closely, and, perhaps, grave shadows
settled upon his face: still I think it possi-
ble that he might have lived a hundred
years, and made no other sign in her pres-
ence. He was not a sentimental lover, he
was a man with a strong will, and Cecil
Dare had trampled upon his pride; so it
was that when they had spent their last
quiet evening in the comfortable parlor, and
she rose to retire, he took her proffered hand
with a calm face.
“ Our last night,” she said, raising her su-
perb eyes with a half smile. “ Good-night,
Mr. Manners, and pleasant dreams.” '
But when she descended the next morn-
ing in her dainty traveling-dress, her easy
composure was gone. It was not so easy to
brave matters out when it came to the last
moment ; and when John Manners bade
her good—by before returning to his study,
lshel turned a shade paler, and faltered a
itt e. ,
“Thank you i” she said, in brief reply to
his courteous wishes for her safe journey.
And then she turned to the window and
.itOOd there until the door had closed behind
im.
She stood there very quietly when he was
gone, drawing one glove on, the wood-rose
color fluttering on her cheeks, a curious,
.desperate steadiness in her eyes. She was
standing there when at last Miss Anne en~
tered, and she turned to that lady, fastening
a button at her wrist.
“ I have lost one of my gloves, I thinlq”
she said, “ Have you seen it, cousin Anne?”
“Gracious l” exclaimed Miss Manners. “I
met John in the hall with a glove in his
hand. I supposed he picked it up some-

ge l . .
“ N 0,” said Cecil,quiekly, “I won’t trouble
'ou ; let me go.” And before Miss Anne
_ had time to. speak, she was gone.
It was the lost touch of weakness in her
hear-t, and she could not restrain it. She
wanted to. see him once again, only for a
momentT—she was coward enough for that.
The library was very quiet when she
opened the door. There was a bright fire
burning in the grate, and a. luxurious arm
chair was drawn up to it, but John Man.

ing upon the hearth-rug, resting an arm on

He looked into her proud, brimming eyes.
He saw the truth there.
“Yes,” he said.
The tears that had been in her eyes fell
upon her cheeks, and slipped away like the
tears of a child.
“ I have no right to expect your pardon,”
she began, with a certain proud humility,
and then, under the latent power of his
kindling eyes, she looked up at him, flush-
ing to her forehead, and then broke down,
and held out both delicate hands, with a

all-ruling pride.

against his breast, and so drawn her nearer

The State Convention of the Union Republican
Party ofCoiiuect1cnt. will be held in New flavor, iii
lusic iiall, on WEDN BSDAY, the 25th 01' JAN LT-
.iltY. at 10 o’clock, a. m. The several towns in the
itale are rcqneswd to send delegates, equal to tWice
or. number of representatives to which each town
.s entitled in the Cultural Assembly, to nominate a
idiot for State Otilccrs, to choose a State Committee
ind to do any other business proper to be done by
said Convention.
State and national legislation have been controlled
i_\' the Union Republican party during the most nic-
iicntuous Ien years of modern history. No notice
:an parallel the record. A gigantic rebellion has
seen stippresaed; four millions of slaves set free;
labor made free and honorable: llliniithble lands
made free to the settler; universal liberty and equal
civil and political rights secured by constitutional
amendments; the states that brouc theirconnections
reconstructed and restored; an army of a million
disbanded; taxation lessened repeatedly; the nation-
al debt greatly reduced, two hundred millions of the
reduction taking place under President Grantzcrcdit
raised at home and broad: the price of gold steadily
brought downward; the revenues vigilantly collect-
ed, and honestly disbursed; peace mainta nod and
the national character universall respected. In
State affairs the debt has been re need one-fourth;
the rate of taxation reduced nearly every sessron ;_
education marvelously stimulated, and the rights 01
all protected. ,
The Union Republican Party is determined that
its candidates, principles, motives and conduct shall
be such as to continue and deserve the support it has
received. It will labor for a sound national currency,
well-adjusted taxation, the payment of debts, the
encouragement of education, integrity and energy in
the public service, the protection and honor ofpcacc-
ful industry, and peace with all the world whilejus-
tice permits; and it will try tolcad all nations in the
true work of government of, by and for the eople.
It expects what it has always had—theopposition of

proval and aid 0 all good citizens.

1871 I
How quietly, almost unconsciously, we
tread the threshold of the new born year.
Yet, here we are, at the dawn of eighteen
hundercd and seventy-one! The old year,
surcliargcd with collossal events; rapid, po-
tent in the world’s history. To us, it has
been a year remarkably exempt from pesti-
lence or disaster. The Govermcnt of this
great, free people has been enabled to pay
back to its citizens an aggregate of money,
loaned it in its struggle for self-preservation,
so vast as to astound the people of the old
world. Not least than two hundred millions
of the principal of our national debt, has
been paid since the incoming of our Repub-
lican administration! And still, the work
goes on at the rate of from five to ten inil-
lions per month! No nation on the globe
ever before presented ' such evidences of
strength, prosperity and power of perpetui-
ty. Our gigantic Railroad interests and en-
terprises have also been pushed and con-
summated with amazing rapidity and won-
derful success. Individuals and individual
enterprises and business interests have in
the main, been successful and reasonably
prosperous. Locally, our town has grown
remarkably in population, wealth, and in-
creased by hundreds, its number of residen-
ces, shops and manufactories. The several
heavy New York failures of the last Sum-
mer, which involved many of our largest
manufactories and most worthy business
men in serious losses, and crippling embar-
rasments, have not resulted so disastrously
to our local interests as all feared. The ag-_
gregate of losses sustained by citizens of
Norwalk, dating from the “black Friday,”
and including the bank robbery, is estimat-
ed at over two millions! Few towns could
have withstood such a monetary shock
without a total business paralysis. Yet we
are strong in all the activities, resources
and requisites of a thrifty and go-ahead
community. Let each and every one “thank
God," reverentiy and devoutly for there
mercies past, and determinedly resolve to
deserve equal, and even greater blessings
for the future. Our common humanity, our
"common frailties, bid us be kind to one an-
other, andgenerons of each others short-
comings. If, in the current year, upon
which we have so auspiciously entered, we
shall lighten the sorrows of one burdened
brother, or by kindness or forgiveness, add
to the happiness of a fellow mortal, even to
to the gift of a cup of cold water, the prom-
ise is. sure and divine—“Verily, ye shall
have your reward.”

E2?“ The press of the country are fre‘
quently indignant, and the people disgusted
with the ten thousand baseless rumors start-
ed fi'om Washington. From a familiar ae-
quaintance with reporterial duties at Wash:
ington for more than twenty ‘years, we can
safely aver that of three-quarters of' all the
false rumors set afloat by Washington cor-
respondents, the heads of departments are
themselves responsible. There. are but a
very few newspaper men in Washington
willing to bear a purely sensational reputa-
tion. N 0 class of men labor more assidu-
ously to get at the actual truth of public
matters of interest, and they are. more fre-
quently misled and deceived by the men in
high places, who seem to take a greater
delight in assuming an owlish and oracular
mysteriousness, than in having the truth
used to set a common-sense example in this
respect, at a time too, when if ever, state
secrets should be kept. Knowing that the
diligent reporters would get hold of snatch-
es of important army movements or gov-
ermental matters, and by sending otf their
fragmentary information, do possible and
unintentional injury, he used to take them
to his confidence and ti‘bat them like gentle-
men ot honor and respectability, as most of
them were. The journalists of the war
period will remember With what confiding
sincerity he used to say, when applied to
each evening for the news :—-“Nuw, I’ll tell
you all I know, but you must not. have any-
thing published. I want you to hold back.”
And we do not remember a single instance
of his confidence having been betrayed by a
newspaper man.

WMost of the pastors of our churches
in town on Sunday last, discoursed tip-
on topics appropriate to the New Year an-~
niversary. At the M. E. churches the old-
litiic custom of “praying the old your out
and the new year in,” was duly observed.
At the Baptist Tabernacle, christmas eve.
the children enjoyed their Christmas trees
and a merry time generally.
On Monday evening last, a Christmas fes-
tival was given the children of Rev. Mr.
Goodscll’s church. A large amount was
distributed in presents and prizes, and the
Sabbath school scholars were made truly
“merry.”
At the Congregational church, So. Nor-
walk, christmas Evening, Frank A. Ferris
was the recipient ofan clegantprcscnt from
the young men in his class,which be cer-
tainly richly merited.
Rev. Mr. Simmons, 2d M. E. church, on
Monday'evening a Tree' was prepared for
the children and the affair passed off pleas-
antly as usual.
On Tuesday afternoon the children of
Trinity church were made happy by a boun-
teons bestowal of Christmas gifts and good
things. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Spencer, also
gave a very entertaining discourse prepared
expressly for the children of the parish, but
equally enjoyed by children of a niaturer
growth.
A christmas festival was held on Wednes
day evening at Springwood, by the Union
Mission Sunday school. The room was
crowded with children and spectators, and
a very pleasant time was enjoyed.
The First Congregational church enter-
tained their Sabbath school at Lockwood’s
Hall on Thursday night. Two immense
evergreen trees were placed upon the stage,
upon which were attached Bibles and other
beautiful books, as prizes for the most mcr.
itorious scholars, and coriiucopias, &c., for
all. Cake and ice cream were supplied in
great abundance, and the little people had a
most jolly time of it. At the close of the
festival a secretary-writing desk was pre-
sented by Rev. Mr. Dunham, in behalf of
the Mission class to Mr. E. C. Bissell, Super-
intendent, which was a complete surprise to
him. After his happy astonishment was
made complete, the Pastor was in turn taken
aback by being presented with a beautiful
chrome of German mountain scenery.
The attendance at St. Mary’s has been
stimulated by the Holiday festivals peculiar
to the church, and very many of Protestant
faith have been attracted by the interesting
ceremonials, and the superior choir.
We doubt if there has ever been so gener-
al and hearty observance of the Christmas
and New Year Holidays in Norwalk, and
the augmented sum of human happiness
thus secured, will, we devoutly trust, bear
its good fruits all through the coming year.
it?” Our friends at the 2d Congregational
Church, Rev. Mr. Dunning, ltad rather
more than a usually interesting season on
Sunday week. During. the past year the
church had expended some $1,600 in re-
pairs &c., and by extraordinary efl’ort had
raised about that amount; still, an old debt
of $500, had dragged along for years. On
Christmas morning a collection was .taken
to liquidate this debt, and $375 was real-
ized. This inspiriting collection. so encour-
‘aged the worshippers that one after another
arose and proffered special contributions,
until $525 was pledged, so that the church
is not only out of debt, but a. small balance
is left in the treasury. Better titan this, of
the $2,350 for which the pews sold last
year, not a single dollar remains unpaid.
This year, the Plymouth. Church plan of
selling was adopted, and. the sales netted
over $3,000. The note system, which has
been adopted has proved a decided success.
Every pew purchaser signs two notes print-
ed and bound in the Treasurer’s book—one
payable three months after date E'Or'half the
amountdue, the other nine months for the
balance. If any one pays all cash within
-ten days, four per cent. is deducted. By
this means, all the Society’s funds are made
available, and as we have said, every dollar
was paid last year, the first of its adoption.
The amount received this 'year tor seats is
somewhat in excess of the estimated ex-
penses.
(I? Some of our readers will remember
the visit to one of our leading citizens a few
years since, of F. Nichols Stuart, a young,
American-born citizen, but the adopted son
of the last lineal descendant of the beautiful
but unfortunate queen Mary. This young
gentleman has sent out several commissions
to our fellow townsman for American light
trotting wagons and harness, which have
been filled 9nd shipped to Scotli ind. The
last order was for a two seate d sleigh of
American build, and a set of Yankee double
harness to match. The sleigh is .now‘ready
to ship. It was built by Stivers & Co., of
31st street, and is the most recherche and ex-
quisite piece of workmanship we have ever
seen in the sleigh line. It is upholstered in
purple velvet, quite gaudily though taste-
tully painted in carmine, and heavily striped
in gold-leaf, with the iron guards and
railings about the seats gold-plated, while
on the rear-is suspended a detachable Rum-
ble seat for the footman or valet. This is
the first American sleigh, so far as is known
ever made to European" order, and it is one
that our Yankee artisans may well feel
proud of.
The sctts of harness are being made by-
the well-known firm of Meeker & Shelton,
of Bridgeport, who also built the other, and
is the finest specimen in that line over sent
abroad. They are heavily gold-plated, and
the workmanship is of the most beautiful
character. It is reported that on the arrival
of the previous light harness and light road
wagon, it was with ditliculty our young
Scottish-American friend could induce any
of the prudent Caledonians to venture their
lives and limbs behind his steeds. .

An Evening at Elmonworth. l
The tenth sociable of the 0214' Vice Social
Circle was given on Wednesday evening
last, under the auspices of Mr. Henry B.
Lockwood at the parental mansion at Elm-
enworth. The company, though composed
mainly of the younger members of our best
society, was one of the finest and really on-
joyable gatherings of the season. We yield
to a monopoly of beautiful ladies and gal-
lant young gentlemen from South Norwalk;
this is to be accounted for in two ways:
Our fair young daughter below has a ma-
jority of Circle memberships, and our grand
children always look sweeter and prettier to
old eyes than the first crop of children.
Henry, with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Legrand
Lockwood,-Jr., did the honors, and exerted
themselves to enhance the enjoymentofevery
guest. An exceedingly pleasant feature of
the evening was a happy laughing group of
little masters and misses, friends and play-
mates of the juvenile members of the family,
who enjoyed the evening with unreserved
enthusiasm. A marked feature of the com-
pany was the rare good taste evinced byi
the young ladies in their toilets. There"
were many very beautiful and costly outfits,
but, an entire absence of anything approach;
ing the bizarre or stunning style of costume,
in a word, good taste, rather than gaudiness,
seemed to have been the aim of all, and we
delight to note so remarked an exemplifies.-
tion of its success. The music, which was
very superior, was furnished by Strucken-
holz, of New York. The German was led
by Blanchard Dominick. The co-commit-
tecmen with Mr. Henry Lockwood, were
A. E. Smith, W. A. S. Hanford, C. Hatch,
B. St. John Hoyt, Henry Hoyt, Robt.
Cra‘ufurd, E. Hill, Jr., David Hill. The
caterer was Chas. Blade, of the household,
assisted by D’Artois. The mansion was
beautifully lighted, and the dazzling gas jets'
'gave an air of luxurious splendor to the
costly paintings and works of art so amply,
adorning this home palace. The floral dec‘
orations were superb, the supper table a
“thing of beauty,” ‘and every one seemed
intensely happy, which, after all is the sum
bonum of our human lives. But ‘over and
above all the personal delights of the guests
here assembled must have been the local
pride and satisfaction of knowing that Nore’
walk possesses the most sumptuous, com“
plete, and in all respects, wry best privaté
residence on the continent, and that its
worthy occupants freely, but nnostentatious-
1y use it for the entertainment of friends
and home comfort of the family. ‘

A correspondent writes of his performance
as followa :—‘- . .‘ .
“Mr. Davies gave us a fine entertainment
and held the undivided attention of the au-
dience throughout. Our people, who are
accustomed to good things in this line, are
now more than tolerable critics, and rend-
ered an homage of mingled applause nod
silence that could not be mistaken. The
Carol was an eminently good selection for
the time and occasion; and Mr. D. inter-
preted both its pathos and its humor with
fine effect. And now, while my pen is in
hand, I wish to say that if you have not
heard Mr. D’s eloquent parallel on “ Eng-
lish and American Traits,” which he gave
us in the form of a lecture last Winter, you
ought to make your citizens call it out. It
is genial, discriminating, witty and admira—
ble in every sense.”

Fitch’s Home.
The children of our county Soldiers’ 0r-
phans’ Home, were made merry by a read-
ing of Dickcn’s Christmas Carols, by Rev.
J. Davies, of the Baptist Tabernacle, on
Monday last. The Reading was prefaced by ‘
an explanatory lecture, so that the smallest
child in the room caught a sufficient compre-
hension of the “story without a moral,” to
render it both intelligible and interesting.
The little waits paid the most respectful at-
tention throughout, and the Reading was
given with these fine variations and inflec-
tions of the voice, which render every char-
acter conspicuous and true to lite. At the
close of the Reading, Mayor Ely was called
out, and briefly expressed his interest in the
institution, and the great pleasure he had ex-
perienced in being present. He was succes-
sively followed by other gentlemen present,
in a similar vein of congratulation.
The cleanly, orderly and healthy appear-
ance of the children, was remarked by all,
and a compliment paid to the matron, Misa
Davis. They must certainly have an abun-
dance of good food, pure air, soap and wat-
er, necessary concomitants of the robust
health depicted on every check. The little
creatures use up fine barrels of the best: flour
per month, and other food in proportion.
One of the young ladies, graduated from the
Home, is now teaching the district school at
Ridgebury; others have good places else-
where, but returned to keep the Holidays. '
These children are the most precious lega-
cy left us by the war for liberty, and we are
glad to know that they are not forgotten.

About ten months a go I read in yampa-
do. I read the letter, and after finishing it,
flung the paper away in disgust by not; be-
lievinga word that he had written. Since
then I have visited that city, the “paradise
of the South,” and I can substantiate for all
that he wrote, and a‘good deal that he did
not wfi'te. At a distance the city presents
a very beautiful aspect, looking like a msg-
nifleent forest with occasional openings
where beneath its foliage are a few pretty
residences. The city is a mean, dirty, filthy
looking place, with not a paved street, nor
a decent sidewalk; the sand being so deep
it is next to impossible to make much head-
way in the streqts, and one is compelled to
return to the sidewalks, (if they must be
called by that name,) and ‘Walk over the
slivercd up planks and boards that have
been laid down, while half rotten planks
are sticking up so that one has to be con-
tinually upon his guard or he will. be greet-
ed with along pine splinter thrust through
his boot into his foot. It does not take the
'traveler long to see the surroundings of the.
city; go a quarter of a mile each way and
you are met by impenetrable marshes that
a dog could hardly enter.‘ Here the malaria
is continually rising to poison the air and
to breed ten million mosquitoes to the
square foot. This, I should think was a
very small estimate, judging from the im-
mense clouds of them that Iwitnessed mov-
ing along the marshes and all low grounds;
in fact there is but very little high ground
in this vicinity. Where this malaria rises
the chills and fever rage to a great extent.
in one boarding-house one-half of the board-
ers were shaking with this dreadful disease.
A lady told me that during the summer
months they thought nothing of seeing one-
half of the city down with the chills.
Whether this is true or not I am unable to
say, but certainly, I saw a great many sick
people for so small a place, and they were
taking enough quinine, to kill all the peo-
ple in our town.
The city itself isso low that at high wa-
ter the tide floods a good portion of the
principal business street, and to aid transit
across they have along foot-bridge, while
at every step in advance you make, the
bridge being so limber, makes a dive under
water and you go with it, coming out and
going in the water at every step, and by the
time you get across . your feet are pretty
well soaked, unless you should happen to
have an alligator boots, which'northern peo-
ple are'.'not apt to have, for we cannot af-
ford to indulge in such luxuries. The streets
are never sprinkled, and they are only wet
when nature does it, so you may iniagine
the amount of sand that is flying about in a
good strong gale of wind ;- it reminds one
forcibly of being in the middle of Sahara,
for your eyes, ears and nose are filled with
sand; in fact, wherever the sand can get it
finds its way, besides it is as hot as though
it had been cooked in a furnace for a week.
The houses are filled with it, carrying mil-
lions of those infernal sand flies that live in
the sand, and which are made only to tor-
ment the traveler. What a delightful coun.
try to live in! It is that American Italy
drews, all of whom, as good luck will have
it, to lend local interest to the tale, were
residents of this village last Summer, living
in a house on Prospect hill. The seeming
facts of the case we briefly state as follows :_
Since leaving Norwalk in the Fall, Sam en-
listed in the navy, and last week just as his
ship was about to sail from Boston, be was
arrested and brought to Bridgeport, charg-
ed with appropriating to his own use some
$15,000 in money, stocks, &c., belonging to
Mrs. and Miss Gridley. Mrs. Gridley made
an affidavit in Springfield, where she and
her daughter are at present residing, that
Andrews stole $3,000 in bank bills from a
tin trunk on or about Sept. 20th, 1868, and
in an affidavit made by Miss Antoinette H.
Gridley in Hartfo rd a few days since, it' is
stated that at her: father’s death her mother
and herself wer e left, by his will, the snug
little sum of $75,000, mostly in personal
property, afid she also charges Andrews
with stealing the $3,000. - -
It seems that Andrews was first connect.
ed with. the family as coachman in 1865, but
soon. became, as it is stated, the accepted
lover of Miss Gridley. The Gridley’s were
very-stylish, and ran through their fortune
very quick, and Sam handled large sums of
their money, first in buying dresses, jewelry
etc.,and, finally in selling the same to raise
the necessary money to enable them to keep
up appearances. Once, when he was n ego-
tiating the sale bf a $1,000 diamond ring in
Hartford, after the removal to Norwalk, he
was arrested on suspicion, but upon a telle-
gram being sent to Mrs. Gridley, she replied,
“ It is all right, let him go.”
The family was obliged to break up in;
Norwalk, in September, ' and Andrews
- claims that he went off seeking work in or-
der to support them. He says he still dear-
ly loves the girl, and believes that she will
tell the truth and cause his release. It looks
as if it niigbt be very (limelilt to prove any-
tliilg' against him, whether he is, or is not
really innocent.
Andrews was again arrested in Bridge-
port, yesterday, charged with stealing $12,-
000 worth of oil paintings, 8502., from the
Gridiey’s, and he will probably be brought
before some Norwalk justice for examina-
tion. 1 ,5

“In order,-to explain more clearly to such

of the United States in the last fiscal year
over the one preceding it, the statement is

and 4 legal holidays from the 365 days. 309
executive days remain in the year, in which
time the saving of $68,734,020.29 was made;
and that the average saving on the working
days in the fiscal year that closed with
June 30, 1870, over those of the year preced-
ing, was over $222,440 per day; .being over
$9,268 per hour, and $154 per minute; and

his childhood. In a capital where money

from his integrity. Amid all the ovil ofthc
