Mr. Lockwood called up the minority re-

Mr. Lockwood explained the action of the
finance committee. At the meeting on Wed-
nesday, two from the House voted on. either
-.side ; a fifth has since signed what is called
the mine, y report, making three svowedly
in’favor o taxation. It was also understood
that another member favored the same
thing.
As regards the question of taxing life in-
surance, the bill presented by Mr. Eaton
was bolleved to be designed only to draw
attention from the main question. It taxed
only the surplus, which [was not a proper
basis of. taxation, and might be changed as
it had been in a very marked way. Now
premium notes are property, for they are
productive. interest bearing and negotiable.
As such they ought to be under the same
_ conditions as other property. Assets in this
form in this State now amount to twenty-
four millions of dollars. Is it right that this
vast productive property be not taxed, as
the law provides ? If it is the duty of the
State to protect its citizens and corporations
it is also right and may be its duty to tax
them. The contest between the State and
rich corporations in this matter ought to
cease.

before the comniission,and bad all the ap-
pearance of being just, when a letter found ’
among these. archives established be and
cavrl that the witnesses had perjured t em-

to have been making sacrifices for the Un-’-
ion cause. He very abruptly put on his hat

Mott Avenue is fast being made one of

a feeling of sadness and a kindly wish to
mingle my sympathies with the bereaved
family and friends. Your obituary notice
was recognized as faithful and just, but yet
incomplete, and if it would not be obtrusive
in one so far removed,’and whose social re-
lations with the departed were so long since
interrupted. I would like to usetbe occasion
for a passing tribute to the virtues of an old
and valued friend. One of the most promi-
neat and commendable traits of his charac-
ter was his'gencrosity and willingness to
assist and promote the prosperity of his
friends. It is due to the memory of the de-
ceased'tobere acknowledge the impression
produced by his repeated favors where such
favors were needed, and whichhave made
that memory fragrant with grateful respect.
Indeed since the days of early and intimate
friendship, be hasnever been thought of but
in this connection. He was emphatically
the young inanfs friend._ His name and in-
fluence were seldom withheld where asked
by any of this class. struggling with limited
means. to lift them over a temporary em-
barrassment—a tight place. The writer as
well as scores of others—former,and perhaps
present, business men of Norwalk, can feel-
iiigly attest to the truth of this. He was
the man of the community to stand in such
gaps, and their assured success was per-'
hops due to such prompt and timely aid.
This characteristic is the more prominent
as few men are willing to have their friend:
ship and generosity brought to this test. In
rehearsing his virtues, therefore, Messrs.
Editors. let not this, one of the brightest
of them all, be omitted or forgotten.

it? Most gladly and gratefully do we give
place to the=above from our honored prede-
cessor, J amcs Reed,.Esq., now of the Ashta-
bula (Ohio) Telegraph. In general terms we
had indicated in a notice of his illness, the
strong point in Mr. Isaacs’ character. our
friend so truthfully elaborates. Probably
to no one living, more than to ourselvess
was manifested his almost solicitpus anxiety
to aid and assist, in a pecuniary way. those
who enjoyed his confidence and esteem.
His endorsement, bis frank account,his per-
sonal endeavor, were always at the service
of his friends. And towards young. men
just starting in business, was this trait
of his character especially and most fre-
quently exemplified. We can never forget
that at a crisis-in the history of this journal
it was his encouraging words and his time-
sion, “He was the hestfn'endwe eter'had."

Norwalk, and proposed by Twaddle as ther
President uv ther Greeley club to be formed
and ther old wood-chopper fuck him in.
Not his South Norwalk inn, Iidon’t ‘mean,
where they looked ther old philosopher in
biz room so he coodn’t get out ter get the
owl train, and then charged him fifteen
dollars for transporting him by boss power
to Cbappaquack. Ther great and good doc-
tor spoke fcclingly uv his experiences at the
mayor’s South Norwalk- botel'on that occa-
sion. But ther mayer be explaned it was all
a mistake, and if it wuz a junk, it was some
uv Pop Lucas' work. who at that time was
a Greeley-batin’ dimmercrat and hadn'tbeen
converted by the new lights of ther Tribune
and Baltimore. The mayer also assured our
Later Franklin that he would hev tuck
him over hisself, only at that time he only
owned old bob-tail, not havin’ secured the
four prancin’ black steeds; besides he said
he nev‘er rid out Sunday mornins—it was
nine Sunday evenins, and then never futher
than West Norwalk. This satisfied the
Sage, till he see Dud peekin’ round his big
wood-pile which his own hands had cut and
laid. But Dud wuz ekal to ther occasion,
and fooled the old Farmer agin. He told
him be was huntin’ for a new silv‘er Greeley

the historic nigger, it hed got into that wood»

Horace evidently oxpectid ther mayer wood

did promise to see about takin’ a colleck-
,shun arter he got hum. That consoled the
philosopher, and then ther twain “ smiled"

With this asslioorance our beautiful mayer

The 2d Methodist Church Society are
about taking off the northeast corner of
their lot so as to grade it more uniformly
with the slope of the street where Belden
avenue makes its junction with Mott avenue.
A very great improvement would be secured
of much value to the church property as to
the public, if they would only set back their
fence, and have their side walk inside its
present line, circling from the Selleck Home-
stead to Mott avenue, setting the curb and
gutter as close to the outer line oftbe trees
as possible. This room is more needed for
the carriages of those who attend church
there than it can be within the enclosure.

Schenck’o Mandrake Pills, for Liver
Comptafilt.
Liver Complaint, J auudice and all bilious disorders
arise from torpidit of the liver, causing aflow of
ing an overflow into the stomach and intestines,_or
from a derangement of ”the digestive organ With
which the liver is so closely connected. Unhealthy
bile in the gall bladder or liver, still laboring, cross (1-
ing this unhealthy matter into the Maori. which it
then circulates over the body, causing a sallow tinge
described derangements of the functions of the liver
produces uumberless trqins of diseases. the whites
of the eyes yellow, the tongue coated with a feverish
white orbrown tinge. Where the liveris disordered
digestion is unhealthy. sometimes a fair appetite and
sometimes none at. all; the patient will suffer from
costiveness or diarrhea, or sometimes both; a on-
eral drowsy and melancholy feeling, often watc i
felt.
creates a palpitatlou of the heart, and is frequently
mistaken for heart disease. Frequently the skin
breaks out in hiles and sores, or marked symptoms
of eryslpelas, with Great itching and insnfi'erable
restlessness. The irritation from scorged title in the
blood often reduces an irritation of mucus mem-,
severe cough follows, with adry.ropy expectoration:
often nausea and vomittng. This unhealthy bile
mixed with the blood passes into the kidneys, pro-
dncea sin in the urinary passages, sometimes pain 4
in the ack and dartin pains through the shoulder
blade, and frequently a l through the body; a sore-
ness is frequently felt about the region of the liver,
across the stomach and spine. Many dangerous
complaints have their origin in a derangement of the
liver and stomach. Two-thirds of the cases of con-
sumption originate fromliver complaint, intermit-
tent, remiltent'and bilious fevers, hilions colic, cos-
tiveness, diarrhea, chills and fever dzc.
one box of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills will remove
all those diseases; they have an effect on the liver
similar to mercury. By takin a dose, according to 4
the directions. and then One ill a night for a week.
or ten days, thev will regulate the liver and throwl
ofi‘ all impurities, and span perform its natural func-
tions without the use of large doses of purgntive
medicine. In the sprint-r of the year those biltons
disorders most common y commence, and a box of
whole season. They are warranted not to contain
a particle of calomel or mercury, in any shape, and
are perfectly harmless.
My Pulmonie Syrup has been before the public for
with years. and has raised hundreds from their
dear -bed. Since the invention of the Mandrake
Pills I can succeed in many cases where Icculd not
before. The stomach and liver are often so inactive
the Syrup cannot digest, and one Mandrake Pill. at.
night. although the patient will think thcv are hav-
ing no effect, will soon regulate the stomach and liv-
er witbout reducing the patient, and the Pulmonic

Syrup will assist in getting up a healthy circulation.
These Pills 9.07 on the liver similarly to calomel, and
I do solemnly assure the public that there is no calo-
mel or mercury in their composition, or anything to
injure the system. I met a gentleman the other day
in front of the Girard House, and be asked me if I
ever recommended my Pills for piles: I answered,
no. He said that lllr, Conklin sent to my stbre. a
short time ago and got a dozen boxes and gave him
one, as his wife had been costivc for years, and bad
the piles very bad fora long time, and was almost
afraid to take them on that account; but lit r. (Yonk-
lin recommended them so highlynbat shc commenceu
taking them, one every night, and now she is entire-e
ly well; lt’curetl the piles, and her bowels are as reg-
ular as they can be.‘ , -
'I‘bese r‘jlls were invented to ass'st Schenck‘s Pul-
monic Syrup in curing Consumption when there is
constipation of the bowels and a torpid liver, but.
they are used now for nearly every complaint. They
even prove to be a great Vermif'uge. An oldgenlle-
mad in Baltimore, that had been cmuplainingcf a
cough, ain in his right side. skin sallow, tongue
coated, owcls costive, and a dried up appearance.
called on me at. my room. I gave him Sea Weed .
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. He came back the next
week to see me, and said he was much better, and
that he had passed thousands of these small worms.
He is now well. ’ .
About eight years ago, when I was rocelvrng pa-
tients at the Marlboro’ Hotel, '11 Boston, _a lady
called on me and said she had been complaining a
long time wltb a tape worm, as her physicians
thought. She said she was in great pain: at times '
something would twist. around in her stomach. and
cve come up towards her throat and bite, and al-
mos set. her crazy: nothing- would satisfy it but milk;
she would have to take a quart every night to bed
with her. and when it would begin ‘0 more she WOuld
take a drink to satisfy it. This lady, when she visit-
ed me, was a- sight to behold; bowels very cos-
ttvc. tongue coated, breath offensive, and a dried up
sallow complexion. very nervous, and almost a sub-
ject for the insane asylum. I gave her some SEA,
War-2o Tonto and Mayors-urn PILLS in large doses:
ten pills for three consecutive nights, and then one
each night for three nights (bcr bowels beingiu such
a congested state, it required an enormous amount
of plll’s to unlock them), and then to come and see
me a sin. She came and said she was very sick; ,
saids e didnot craveanyrnilknow.. Thisconvinced '
me that the animal. or whatever it was troubling
her, was dead. I ordered her to taketen more pills;
after takln g them she passed something resembling
a snake or a lizard, between five and six inches in
length. This lady is nowavell and lives in East Bos-
ton. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea-,Weed Tonic
