The State Convention of the Union Republican
Party of Connecticut. will be held at New Haven, in
MUSIC HALL, on . ‘
Wednesday, the 5th of February,
at ten o’clock, a. m. The several towns in the State
are requested to send delegates (eqtlal to twice the
number of representatives to which each is entitled
in the General Assembly), to nominate a ticket for
State Officers, to Choose a State Committee, and to
do any other business proper to be done by Sflld con-
. ”mom BARTLETT BENT,
Chairman State Central Committee.
Mlddlelown, J an. 6111. 1873.
Our State ’l‘lckot.
Considerable discussion has arisen 'con-
coming the personnel of the coming Repub-
lican State Ticket. For Governor, the nom-
inatioavvould seem most likely at this pres-
ent writing to be won either by Hon. Henry
B. Harrison, of New Haven, or Henry P.
Haven, Esq., of New London. Both are
eminent and worthy citizens of the State.
As a lawyer and gentleman of purity, dig-
"nity and worth, Mr. Harrison is the pct-r of
any man named among possible candidates.
Mr. Haven, asa wise, clear-headed. practi-
. cal, honest business man, is probably as
near the counterpart of Governor Bucking.
ham, as any citizen of the State. So that,
in the almost certain nomination of the one
or the pther, there can be no just cause for
solicitude. We of Fairficld County, would
'have been gratified, could we have secured
. equal probabilities of a nomination for one
of our own most honorable and honored
sons. But. the indications so clearly sug—
gest the wisdom of deferring our claims, that
we conclude that no attempt will be made
to nominate a candidate for Governor from
this county. Meantime let us urge, not in
the intercstof this county or any locality,
but for the best interests of the whole State,
that our present :Treasurer be retained in
his place. We intrcat this, uninfluenccd in
the least by‘the accident of his living in
Danbury, on the borders of our county.
Were he a resident (fi‘ the rcmotest corner
of the State, we should urge the wisdom
and policy of his retention with even more
earnestness. We presume that Mr. Nichols
will very naturally feel that, inasmuch as it
is conceded a “new deal” is to be had and a
new State ticket is to bc made up, that his
name should be withdrawn by'the same as-
sent to this programme given it by the rest
of our present State‘ ofliccrs. There is
, neither good reason or sound logic in this,
if we contemplate the entirely different na-
ture of the reasurcr’s duties and responsi-
bilities. re is no more sense or reason
in changing our Treasurer every year than
for a bank to make an annual change of its
cashier. Our taxes, our finances, are of too
personal an interest to every citizen of our
, own State, to: justify a continuance of the.
folly of these frequent changes. Mr. Nich-
ols, being a clear-headed merchant, has
shown ,an exceptional good luck, or else an
unusual good management of his depart-
ment, and it is because we feel-that an injury
will be wrought to the progress of the
State by dropping him, that we urge his rc-
tcntion even though all others on our pres-
ent tickctbc omitted, as is probable they
will be. ' In an honest cspousal of a genuine
Civil Service Reform we commend 'Mr.
Nichol’s renomination and urge it upon the
attention of friends in other parts of the
State, as the wisest and best things our ap».
proaching convention can do. Could it be
assured that Mr. Nichols would continue at
the head (if our Treasury for the next ten
Wears, we are confident that our State sc-
curities would show a very marked appro-
ciation. I
Cononnssm.—We hear the names 'of
Reuben Rockwell and L. W. Coder, 'of
Litchfield county, suggested as the two
most likely to secure the support
by means of emigration to San Domingo,
Pamphlets were issued, subscriptions, real
or pretended, were made, and quite a num-
ber of importunate families were duped into
emigrating to the Island. There they drag-
ged along a few weary years; the greater
part died from the effects of the pcstilcntial
climate, and the rest returned broken in
health, and ruined in fortunes. The chief
agent in that affair was the self-styled
“Colonel” J. Warren Fabeus, anadventurer,
whose whole mature life has been spent in
Central American and West Indian schemes.
This scheme failed miserably, but it is now
being revived in another form, and the same
“Colonel” J. Warren Fabens looms up in it
as “Civil Governor ‘qf the Peninsula of Sn.-
mana,” to quote from the New York Tri~
bunc of January 17. Induccmcnts are again
held out to emigrants, and the climate, soil.
and productions of San Domingo are held
up in the most seductive colors. We advise
every body who is in danger of being let]
into embarking in this scheme to read the
history of the fortner one before being be-
guiled into the present scheme. This may
save the unwary; from dclusion,loss, and
probable \vrl. tchcdness.

made many acquaintances and friends here

Concert for the People.
Next week Monday evening the long.
talked of Public Rehearsal by the Norwalk
Choral Union, is to be given at the Opera
House. It will embrace chol‘uscs, madrigals,
solos, quartettcs, &c., rendered" entirely by
local talent, under the direction of Mr. Alex-
S. Gibson. The admission-lies been placed
at the “good old-fashioned price" of twenty-
five cents, so that all the people can attend.
The Choral Union is doing much to advance
musical taste and culture in our midst, and
should receive encouragement from our citi-~
zens. We hope to see the .Opera House
crowded to overflowing upon this occasion.

was quite largely attended and was very en-
joyable. The second‘ to be held on Wed-

The First Congregational Society held
their first sociable of this scason on Wed

company assembled and spent the evening
_in_a social and agreeable manner. The first
sociable was certainly a most gratifying suc-

many.” The next, we understand, will be
held at the house of Mr. O. S. Clark, Mer-

ty, from the best 'of city manufacturers. It
is to be run, temporarily, by Phoenix Engine

The members of Phoenix Steam Fire En-
gine Company held another of their “once-

house, Main street. last Tuesday evening.
This time the wives and sweethearts of the
members graced the occasion with their
enjoyment. Asuppcr, prepared by George
Hooper, was served, and after having been
duly and appropriately discussed, was pro-
nounced “tip-'top”—which is “high praise?
After supper the Foreman took occasion to
present the Company with a framed. pbOto-
graph in accordance with an established cus-
tom of the company. The presentation was
a surprise, but Assistant Foreman E. O.

It will soon be sent to

are selling quite rapidly and it is efident
that there will be a large audience present
to enjoy the entertainment. The programme
embraces vocal and instrumental music by
artists from NewlYork, engaged at large ex-
pense,——-and by our own Mr. Gibson, whose
talents as a musician are only equalled by
the checrfulness and generosity he displays
in freely giving his services for local perfcr-
manccs of this nature. The concert will be
interspersed with beautiful tableaux in
which a large number of young ladies will
appear. The facilities for producing these
tableaux at the-Opera House are unusually
good, and we doubt not they will be given
promptly and with fine effect. The young
ladies have entered into .thc afl'air with
much spirit, and entertain strong hopes that
their friends will show their appreciation of
their efforts—and. help the causc,—by greet-

GOLD IRELAND.—Hetlly &. Cohan’s Hiber-

last evening, and is to be repeated this
evening. It comprises large views of at-
tractive scenery, natural wonders, the prin-
cipal cities, &c., of the gem of the seas, with
brief descriptions, and a lively dramatic
sketch of much interest. abounding in Irish
songs, dances, love-making, wit and roaring

W The Officers and Teachers of the
First Baptist Sunday-school, wishing to re-
plenish their Sunday-school library, have
made arrangements for a popular course of
lectures to be given at the church, which
they call the “Library Course." The first
entertainment, as will be seen by our adver-
tising columns, is to be given next week
Wednesday evening, (29th inst.) consisting
of selected readings by Miss 11. L. D. Potter.
The Committee certainly are fortunate in
securing the services of this popular reader.
She had made arrangements to leave this
week for the South, but has consented to re-
main a few days longer to till this engage-
ment, and make her farewell bow for the
sc'ason to her Norwalk friends. We under-
stand the committce have also engaged Rev.
W. H. Thomas, of South'Norwalk, who will
give his lecture entitled “The Art of Living,
"or Autobiography of John Smith.” Also
Rev. 0. T. Walker, of Meriden, on “Men for
the Times,” Rev. J. H. Dudley, of New
York, on “Low Life in London,” and Rev.
J. Davies, of Norwich, (formerly of South
Norwalk,) on “An Englishman’s first im-
press' s of America.” They have wisely
place he tickets at a low price, and we
predict the course willbc a popular one.

Who waters-milk at the tank? is the all-

milk-men in this vicinity. We were waited
upon, last week, by a jolly trio who assured
us that they were honest milk men and
never deceived their customers. They were
anxious to know the name of the guilty
party, denouncing him roundly for bringing
susplcion add disgrace upon all his honest
brethren. Each proved to’ his own satisfac-
tion,——and the doubt of his neighbor,—that
he was not the man, and all vouched for his
friends. They were especially dflrous of
discovering who was the one man guilty. of
watering milk, and talk of calling a conven-

ton, and O. Hoyt, Esq., of Sttfinford, and
Rev. P. S. Evans, of Willimanlic.
Mr. J. L. Ambler, of N orwalk, moved to
extend an invitation to those who were
present from other Sabbath Schools, not
regularly appointed delegates, to participate
in the discussions, which was carried.
ed the discussion on the “True Relation of
the Sabbath-school to the church, and duties
ofthe pastel,” and was followed by Revs.
Woolsey, Dunning. Lathrop, Willis, and
Messrs. L. Hubbell, Lawrence, Bitch and W.
H. Benedict. Rev. Mr. Dunning remarked
that the church is a living body, having its
separate functions. One of these functions
is the teaching and training of the young,
and the church neglecting to exercise this
function is as much a deformity 'as a man
lacking one eye, or one car, or one limb‘.
He also said that the Sunday-school should
not be tacked on to the church as a lady’s
chignou is attached to the head, but that it
is an organiczpart of the church, and living
flesh and blood with it._ .

Sharp, Darien, the convention adjourned for
recess, and to partake of a bountiful colla-
tion, provided by the ladies, in the base-
ment of the church.

After singing, and prayer by Rev. J. J.
Woolsey, Rev. Dr. Vincent spoke upon
“Financial Support of tthabbath-schoo ,”
insisting that as the Sabbath-school is the
child of the church, the church ought to pay.
its nursing expenses, and that the money
raised in the school should be appropriated
to benevolent purposes. This question was
'also discussed by Revs. Graves, Dunning,
Willis, and Messrs. Benedict, Amsbury, of
Danbury, Hoyt and Lawrence.
. The reports from the schools were next in
order, occupying three-quarters of an hour.
Rev, Evart Van Slyke then addressed the
Convention on the question, “ Sabbath-
school Literature and how to use it,” which
was followed by remarks from several
brethren. \
Next came an address by Rev. J. S. Dodge
on “Too old for the Sabbath-school.” This
address and the remarks which followed it
by Revs. Huntington, Graves, Dunning, Vin-
cent, Shepard and Willis, were exceedingly
interesting and spicy. '
After singing and benediction, the Conven-
tion again adjourned for recess and collation.
At 7:30 p. m. a large congregation as-
sembled to. hear Rev. Dr. Vincent on “The
Home, the Church and the Sabbath-school.”
He occupied over an hour in his own felicit-
ous but impressive manner, enforcing upon
parents, pastors, church-members and Sun-
day-school teachers, their duties toward the
young in our families and schools.
After closing remarks by the President
and O. Hoyt, Esq, the Convention adjourn-
journedroll-fieliug’1u'at it had been a
decided success, and hoping that its results
might be' seen in a quickened interest in
prosecuting the Sabbath-school work.

A lively law suit has just been concluded
in London between a landlord and a family
of tenants. The latter hired a house for a
year, but at the close of the first quarter re
turned the key, paid up to date and left the
place, refusing to remain longer on account
of the presence of a vast and increasing
family of those insects. who “painful vigils
keeps upon the slumbers of tired human-
ity”—in fact, the predatory bed-bug was
there. The point of the suit hinged on the
question whether the bugs'had been there
or were imported by the new comers. The
court decided the. latter to be the case, and
now the ofl‘cnded parties are not only com-
pulled to stay through, their contracted
year, but also to pay the landlord a. large
per capita duty on the imported live stock.
M‘s—.—
The hostility of.China to foreign intrusion
is almost proverbial; the hospitality of the
great United States, whose fertile fields and
healthful cities are flee to all, is equally rec-
ognized. especially by the; citizens of the Uni-'
ted States themselves. It is something that
they are very apt to talk about, and when
they talk they are very apt to boast, so that-
it can safely to said to be something they
boast about. But is a question whether, af-
ter all, China does not surpass us in many
of the forms of hospitality. In many of our
New England cities and towns there are
representatives of China sent here to be edu-
cated, and education involves of necessity
something more than a successful wrestle
with the alphabet and its, combinations.
These students will watch the'wsys of the
people they are with and will ca'rry home a
great deal of instruction that their govern-
ment does not bargain or pa for. One. of
the Chinese gentlemen at pringflcld has
written to anewspaper of that cit to ask
whether ,we «have any law to punis people
Kforhootin at or insulting strangers on the
streets. e complains that he suffers fre-
quently from such treatment when he is
walking peaceably along, and it is naturally
unpleasant for “It to be hailed with shouts,
of “see the d—d Cbin'aman” as he oes
about. Yetthis-is the case in Spring old
and almost everywhere else. In China 'if
such a thin occurs the offender is terribly
flogged, an then forced to wear a piece of
bcard over his shoulders exposed to public
view as a disgrace. It may yet be seen that
we, the professed teachers, can afi‘ordto do
a considerable part of the learning, and if
our lessons are as improvrng as th s might
be, perhaps we shall find that after all we
are entertaining Cclcstials—even if it be as
-yet unawares. ‘

passage, except, it may be, one tcmpcstuous
night,during which the ship plunged fear-
Cape Spartcl, the western extremity of
Africa, is the next land which llcavcs in
sight. This is the entrance of the Straits
fromdhe Atlantic, thirteen miles across,.and
thirty-two miles from Gibraltar. The tide
always sets in through these Straits to the
east, at the rate of five knots an hour—the
question is where all this water goes to. The
winds here are very singular. Sometimes
they blow up on one side and down on the
other, and sometimes fresh through the
center, when it is cairn on each side. Tan-
gicrs, the city on the African coast, is not
visible from the water, but. the lighthOuse is,
as Norwalk light is seen from the Sound,
but not the town.
Gibraltar is a rocky mountain, (the mons
calpe of the ancients), rising boldly 1,500
feet out of the water. It extends nearly
three miles in length from north to south,
and three-quarters of a mile in its greatest
land by a flat, sandy isthmus, 1,000 yards
wide, but only a few feet above the level of
the sea. The traveled road is a raised cause-
way, and is undermined, and can be ex-
ploded at any time. The gchrnor holds the
key (if this mine, and no one is allowed to
enter. This neck of land is neutral ground,
claimed neither by Spain nor England, and
furnishes fine facilities for smuggling. The
north and cast sides of Gibraltar forth a line
of almost perpendicular precipices, but the
north and west sides fall in rugged slopes,
with occasional flats or terraces. The town
of Gibraltar is built upon the west side of the
mountain, and is defended at every accessi-
ble point by the‘ most firmidable batterles.
A wall of stone, sixteen feet thick, stretches
along the harbor. Gibraltar is one of the
most remarkable places in the world. It is
simply, a» large garrison : 20,000 people,
7,000 soldiers and sailors ; the whole town
is under military rule; soldiei‘s constitute
the police; the gates are shut: at six o’clock
.when the evening gun is fired, there is no
ingress or egress after that hour. It the
garrison were withdrawn the town would be
deserted. At least two-thirds of the space
is occupied by the military. Three or four
hundred convicts are at work all the time
in constructing fortifications-and cleaning
the streets. Young and refractory regiments
are sent here to be trained and subdued.
D'csertion is impossible. Situated at the en-
trance of the Mediterranean, all the nations
ofEurope, and the northern parts of Africa
and Asia, are represented here. This feature
strikes you at once. Greeks, Jews, Moors,
‘French, English, German, Italian,&c., are
'all mingled together, and present a curious
. spectacle. All the steamships of the various
lines-in the Mediterranean service, coal up
at this place. Each line has‘ an old hulk
anchored in the bay,which is used as a
depot for coal. I counted twenty-seven of
these hulks. They are all black, and from
the mountain look like so many rocks
scattered about the bay.
. The Roman Catholics have a cathedral
'and a chapel; the Church of England a
large churchodifice; the Scotch Presbyte-.
rians and the. . Wesleyans, commodious
churches. Much active missionary work is
done here. All the Protestant churches
have Sabbath-schools, and there are Bible
and Tract Societies, scattering a knowledge
of the way of life through the community.
The soldiers, when they enlist, state what
denomination they belong o, and are re-
quired to attend that churc ,if any, till they
are discharged. Their uniforms and equip.
ments are clean, bright and beautiful. They
are generally fi so looking Inenrfiomtwenly-
five to fifty years of age, After twenty
years service they are retired on a pension
of twenty-five cents per day for life. Officers
and men receive just about enough to sus-
tain them. -
The view from the top of the Rock of
Gibraltar is sublime. It cannot be surpass-
ed in the world. The hieditprwealfsl‘retch-
ing to the (gunmanwllh its bold clifi‘s, to
_W-*and Spain, with its beautiful vil-
lagcs, to the west. It is hardly possible to
conceive of a more interesting locality. It
surpasses Niagara or any views in the West
Indies. The rock was denominated one of
the pillars of Hercules, by the ancients, the
other stands on the opposite shore of Africa,
and seems to vie with it in grandeur and
sublimity. Temples, palaces and all the
works of men dwindle into insignificance
before such mighty manifestations of divine
power. _ .
The higher classes‘of the people manifest
all the intelligence and polish of the best
Christian nations, but the lower classes are
ignorant and degraded to a very great de-
gree. They are called “Rock Scorpions”
by the Europeans. Their condition is the
legitimate result' of the religious system
which has held sway over them for centuries.
I have selected and condensed these few
itcmsfrom a large mass of facts gathered on
the spot. D. R. A.

. Installation.
On'Tucsday, Jan 14th, the Consociation
of Fairficld West, met at Darien, to install
Rev. B. B. Snowden as pastor of the Con.
gregational Church in that place.
The Church was tastefully decorated
with mottocs, wreaths and flowers. The
audience at the public services, large and
interested, and the occasion was one which
with its kindly feeling and warm welcome
to the new '.pastor by the people of his
charge, will doubtless be long remembered.
. Rev. Mr. Alcott, of North Greenwich,
Bresided at the afternoon session of conso-
elation after an anthem by the choir and
other appropriate services by Rev. Mr.
Greenleaf, the sermon was preached by Rev.
E. C. Bissell, of"Winchester, Mass., from
the text Romans I. 1; Paul a servant of
Jesus.” The installing prayer was offered
by Rev. Mr. Relyca', of Green’s Farms. The
charge to the pastor by Rev. H. W. Timlow,
of Boston, followed. Rev. H. N. Dunning,
of South Norwalk, gave the right handof
fellowship. The charge to the people, by
Rev. Dr. Rankin, of “Fairfield, concluded the
by the choir, the benediction “grace, mercy
and peace,” wusjnvoked by the new pastor,
and at a late hour, the assembly dispersed.
It is to be hoped that the tiesjthus solemn-
1y ratified may long remain unbroken, and
as minister and people together labor for
the cause of Christ. The church may be
built up in its most holy faith and have
many added to it from ;such as shall be
~ saved.

to the quantity of heat that can be made to
enter the water and steam. (Was not that
superheated steam in a wooden cylinder
that had been saturated in oil?) This was
about 1764. Yet he was neither blown UP
or burned up, and in 1874-5 he carried his
presumption so far as to introduce steam
and 'pipes for heating for his private. office
in which he wrote and drew his designs-
This mode of heating soon became popular,
and was largely introduced by the firm of.
Boulton and Watt, as a means of economi-
cally heating buildings. Of what material
the piping was, is not stated; perhaps this
was not necessary. He came, howevenncar
to an untimely end, though he was first in
high favor. There were, however, some
jealous “individuals” in those days, and
Watt was denounced before the “Jacobine
Club” as an emissary of Pitt, and was thus
breadth. It is connected with the main .obliged to cscapefor his life. .He returned
to England in 1794 and became interested
as a partner along with his brother Gregory
and Robinson Boulton in manufacturing at
Soho, from which time he took an activein-
tcrest in steam navigation. In 1823 he
wrote for “The Encyclopedia Brittanica”
the life of his father. He also wrote on his
father’s claims relative to the discovery of
the composition of pure water, which ap-
peared in the work on that subject in 1846.
He at one period, as appears, considered
himself entitled. to the honor of having
been the first to discover and show the true
composition of water from two gases—hy-
drogin and oxygin—and this claim was also
urged by others, in his behalf. It is notice-
able that in later life he left unchanged
Robinson’s credit to Cavendish of the “ Great
Discovery of the Composition of Water,”
yet while lafest verdict of scientific authori-
ties confifms this award, it is still evident
that Watt’s mind was among the foremost
in attaining a true understanding of the sub-
jects to which he most especially aided in
calling the public attention of'the age.
Scc American Cyclopedia, vol. xvi. ‘
N. B.—Watt’s_ view was that in order to
make the best use of steam, as a motive
power, it was neceSSary to keep the cylinder
always as hot as the steam which entered it.
Pipes for heating purposes are not so hot as
the steam, and the steam is condensed more
or less for every foot it moves. C. F. R.

the Fitchburg, Vermont and Massachusetts
and the Troy and Boston railroad compa-
nies, the consolidated corporations to be
called “The Hoosac Tunnel Railroad Com-
Elny.” - Including the State interests in the
oosac Tunnel, the road will form a con-
tinuous line from Boston to Troy, with a
capital of $25,000,000. '
_ The owners of the New York Central rail-
road have decided to issue a first mortgage
for some $40,000,000 with the proceeds of
the sale of which they' intend laying two
extra tracks thc entire length of the road.
This will give the company separate tracks
for thelght and passenger cars, thus furnish-

of business than are possessed by any other
road to the country. '

The persons coming in contact'with Mad-

contrast them favorably with M’lle Nilsson’s.
The divine Swede took exception to every~
thing, and was never suited with her rooms,
her meals, her attendants, or the goods she
found. Madame Lucca, if an thing goes
wrong, says laughing] :—“Wc l, we are in

we have a great regard for him,'and should
