Our Washington letteris again missing.
Heretofore the letter has only occasionally.
miscarried, but the past three have failed in
succession. This is specially provoking be—
cause Mr. Byington travels nearly tWo miles
to personally deliver the letter into the
hands of the messenger at Washington on
purpose to secure its’ sure and prompt trans-
mission. The letter intended for last week
will be found on our outside. .

The Weather.
It is pretty well ,scttled now that we are
really having winter'weather; and plenty of .
it. The season so far has :been remarkable
for extreme “absence of heat” and-the quan~
tity of snow which has fallen. .What is
in store for us for the balance of the wrnter
months, Old Prob. does. not say, but as we
write more snow is falling,aud we rather
expect that there are a few more flakes of
the same sort where these came from.
The past week was 'tcrribly cold, and on
Wednesday night we endured the severest
‘ cold we can remember ever to have experi-
enced, the thermometer indicatingvas low as
22 ° below zero at 8 o'clock'the next morn-‘
ing. In Wilton it rcachcd24° below, in
Georgetown 30° , and in one town near
Hartford it is reported at 86°. It moder-
ated somewhat Thursday, but the nights
since have all been quite severe, generally
below zero. .
M
Who is to be.the next Governor, is the
only political question of interest just now,
' and the “situation” is amusing as well as
interesting. The Republicans, of course
are confident that a nomination is equiva-
lent to an election, and therefore, very nat-
urally, there is a superfiuity of candidates,
and much wirc~pulling, etc. With the de-
mocracy the case is different, and with them
the trouble is want of candidates.' No one
of any pro'minence'is' anxious or even wil-
ling, to be led up to 'be slaughtered. Gov.
English has done his duty in the :past, and
begs to be excused. Bill Eaton cannot pos-
sibly accept; he has run for office many
times, but his “record” always faces him,
and is sure to defeat him—no, he had no
aspirations this season and desires to be
permitted to remain in the shades of private
life. Mr. Hubbard knows v‘en he is whip-
ped;he was beaten last year, and has no
desire to have that experience repeated,
and has written a letter declining, in which
he says t—“My qualifications for the place
have once been; submitted to my fellow citi-
zens. They rendered a verdict against me,
and I excepted it-without humiliation or
grumbling. It does not chome me to say
that there was any error in the verdict.
At any rate, I have no new evidence to
offer, and do not, therefore, ask a new
trial.” By presen§.appearanccs ithe demo-
cracy will be compelled to take up with
some New London county candidate.

A singular question has just been decided
by the Supreme Court, that the bondsmen of
a criminal are not released from the obliga-
tion by.his arrest on another charge in a
different State. Two Danbury men gave
$8,000 bonds for an express robber named.
McGuire in 1864. Soon after the man was
imprisoned in" Mainc'for 15 years for bur-
glory. Claiming that they were prevented
from presenting the person of the criminal
for trial, only by “an act of law,” the bonds-
mcu refused to pay, and the State brought
a suit to recover the amount of the forfeited
bail. The Supreme Court of Errors of the
State held unanimously that as the States
are independent and sovereign, Connecticut
is not bound to health: acts of Maine. The
suretics, however, maintained that McGuire
was taken from this state on a requisition
from the Governor of another, under a pro-
vision of the federal constitution, which was
the supreme law of the land; The Supreme
Court of the United States was almost cvcn-
1y divided on the question, the vote ofChief
Justice Chase being necessary to give the
decision] The State has accordingly re»

The first entertainment of the Library
Course was given at the Baptist church'on
Wednesday evening, and was remarkably
well attended, when we take the weather
into Consideration. If the weather had
been favorable the church would undoubt-
edly have been crowded. MisssPotter’s sc-'
lections were of a miscellaneous character
appropriate to such an entertainment, and
were rendered in her peculiarlypleasing
and able manner. The first selection, was
De Profundis, impressively rccitc‘d, followed
by an amusing gicscription of a visit to an
Agricultural Fair; Tcnnyson’s “Lady Clare,”
followed by “Bro. Anderson’s Sermon"'by
T. K. Beecher; “Lot’s Wife” and “Mrs.
Melony on the Chinese QuestiOn“ were
laughable, and “But one pair‘bf Stockings
to mend tonight” was very pathetic; the
“Battle of Ivry,” by Macaulay,of the heroic
order, was splendidly rendered ; A Scottish
poem “My Ain Countl'ee” was lnuch admir-
ed; the Old Lady’s opinion of the New.
Organ, and the “School Class" (introducing
30 characters) were both highly entertaining.
The entertainment closed with ‘Alice Cary’s
“May Days"—very pleasant for the reader
to contemplate as she rode home in an open

low zero, and still falling. Thg next cuter-

THE Lrorrrnousn Es'rrmrns FOR run
NEW ENGLAND Come—The House com-
mittee on appropriations, bavb agreed on
the amounts to be expended on the light-
house establishment during the next fiscal
year, the total being about $1,400,000—two-
thirds of the estimate 'of the Treasury De-
partment, and six times as much as was ap-
propriated for similar purposes last year.
The following estimates for works along
the New England coast were allowed by
the committee; :Rebuilding the west light-
house, Cape Elizabeth, Me, $30,000 ; rebuild-
ing lighthouse towers on North and Seguin’s
islands Me. $30 000 each; building: “a“
housegind (-59 9:3,”; .. norme’s Hole, $15,-
,.m;17cnanging light at Monomody Point,
Mass.;from harbor to seacoast light, $60,-
000; keeper‘s dwelling at Cape Ann light,
$5,000; steam for signal at Race Point, $3,-
000; light-house and fog signal on “the
Whale,” Narragansett, R. 1., $35,000; light
on Muscle Bed, beacon and new dwelling
on Canonicus pier, Narragansett, R. 1., $30,-
000 each; beginning lighthouse on South-
west Ledge, New Haven, $50,000, and $50,-
000 for beginning the construction of a.
lighthouse to take the place of the lightship
at Stratiord Shoals, Long Island Sound.
Among the rejected estimates were the fol-
lowing: For replacing day beacons des-
troyed by the ice on the coasts of Maine
and Massachusetts;for a steam fog signal
ai;thc Highlands, Cape Cod; for repairs and
renovations at Scituate Head, Mass; for a
fog signal tit-New London, and for a new
dwelling and tower at Stratford Point,
Conn. ~The item of $20,000 for rebuilding
the cast lighthouse at Cape Elizabeth, Maine
was not finally decided. The greater ~part
of the large increasciin the appropriation
over that for this purpose last year is due
to the estimates for rebuilding and repair-
ing lights and signals along the' southern
coast which were destroyed during the war.

It is said that the Berlin post ofiice is
about to introduce an improvement upon
the original postal card system. A card is
to provided, on which a message may be
sent and reply returned at once. The orig-
ld'i’nal sender, by paying the trifling postage
both ways, may thus secure an answer at
once, the person addressed having only to
write a line or so on the card when he re-
ceives it and return it to the postman. This
is a great contrivance worth considering in
the issue of postal cards in this country.

Srnaxon CASE or Annucnox.—The Troy
Times of January 20th tells the following
strange story :—
“On the 7th inst_., a young married lady
residing near Troy, Mrs. William Stanley
by name, came to .thc ’city to procure the
professional services of a dentist and to do
some shopping. About 3 p‘. m., as she Was
about to enter the store of Quackenbush do
Co., she met a lady acquaintance, with
whom she had a conversation for several
minutes. A baroucbc was standing in front
of the store at the same time and two men
near it. As soon as the lady friend walked
away—no other person being near—one of
the gentlemen near the barouche suddenly
approached the lady with, a. handkerchief
in his hand and inquired whether she- had
not dropped fl. Before she could reply he
thrust the handkerchief in her face, where-
uponsbc at once became unconscious, and
was lifted into the barouche andrwas rapid-
ly driven to the depot, and from thence car-
ricd into a car of the Hudson River railroad.
Her abductor remained with her 'and' the
On reaching a point near Poughkcepsie, a
strange gentleman who sat near the abduc-
tor and his victim, and who had.been ob-
_ serving the conduct of the former, especially
of making an occasional application of the
handkerchief to the ,lady’s face, who was
richly dressed and of prepossessing appear-
ance, concluded that some great wrong was
being perpetrated. He at once ' gazed
earnestly at the man beside the unconscious
woman, and in a stern voice demanded
what he intended to do with the lady. He
replied that he was taking her to the ‘asy-
lum.’ At the Poughkeepsie station the ab-
.ductor left the car and did not return, being
no doubt alarmed by the manner of the per.
son who had' addressed him. The gentle-
man who had so .opportuncly interposed
now took his seat beside the lady, who soon
became conscious, and stated to her deliver»
or ',that she was during the whole time'
aware of what was passing, but was unable
to articulate. She then related the circum-
stances of her abduction. The lady proceed-
to her friends, who had been searching for
her and makinginquirics at every dentistry
in the city without avail, they being alarm-
ed at her prolonged absence. On receipt
of the-telegram,her father and ,brothcr- im-
mediately left for New York. The lady
wore a valuable watch and chain, which
were not disturbed, but her change was
abstracted. The circumstances of this start-
ling case have been studiously and effect-
ually concealed by the parties concerned."

Signor Blitz, “the old original,” who was
here last Fall, is receiving some rough treat-
ment in the eastern part of the State. , The
papers say that as the people find out that
he is not the man he represents himself to
be, they “go”‘for him; The watches he
gives away and claims to be worth $87, are
pronounced the cheapest kind of frauds, &c.
In one case it is said he paid $87 to avoid a
suit. On Friday a New London officer
arrested him' in Hartford, 'where he was
performing, with the view, iiis‘said of pro-
tecting people from further fraud. The
effect will probably be beneficial to him,
for a certain class of people will rush to see
him, and invest their money on purpose to
satisfy themselves by personal experience
that he is really a fraud.

A Premium Young Lady.
I heard ofa young lady the other day up
in middle Tennessee, who, as river men say,
has taken another chute. The story told
about her did my soul good, and for' the
comfort of other half-starved dyspeptics like
by. means of fried chicken, soggy biscuits,
greasy bush, and 'sole leather fritters, I’ll
relate it. For years past as a mbre "matter
of form—something handed down from re-
mote antiquity—thc ofilcers of the county
fair, held in the neighborhood where this
young lady lived, have been in the habit of
offering a premium to the lady (unmarried)
cooking :the best dinner. It was a dead
letter. Nobody had contested for. the pre-
mium-within the memory of the oldest in-
habitant. "-This year, however, the young
lady efwhom I am speaking determined to
compete for the mine. --Hcr name—I wish I
could immortalized—was Kate Iauaway.
The fair men set up a ‘stove forher, stretch-
'ed a canvas to shield her from the su ‘ nd
- about 11 o’clock of the‘last day she w to
work. Thejmatter had been talked about
by every one in the neighborhood, 5nd cu-
riosity was on} ti-ptoe. A crowd collected
around the place, where the stove was set
up. early in the morning, and kept increas;
ing, but when Miss Kate herself, a b“""‘"
handsome girl of nineteen *ngnfer 0f the
JIJW" .«mc“iown,._appcared on the
ground, and putting on a white apron and
rolling up‘ber sleeves, commenced opera;
tions, all other attractions were nothing.
Every one was eager to see so novel a sight.
There was a tree near by which soon be;
came black with spectators [who had
climbed up to get a better view. The
branches were finally so burdened that one
- by one they broke, precipitating those upon
them to the ground until only one man was
”left in the tree. He sat in a lofty fork with;
eyes riveted on the scene below. No amount
of persuasion by those beneath, envious of
his better view, could induce, him to‘ come'
down; even a bribe of ten dollars failed
He was bound to see or die.
Meanwhile the dinner preparations went
on apace. The savory smell of the cooking
food seemed to intoxicate thecrowd, which
pressed nearer and nearer. It took all the
police force upon the grounds to keep order.
The time arrived for the trotting match, an-
nounced as the'sport of the‘ day, but -the
amphitheater was empty. The judges (with
the exception of the crabbcd old widower),
the'timers, all were missing, and so nothing
could be done. At halfpast two o'clock
the dinner was announced as rcady,and the
judges, happy men, seated themselves at the
table'fithc crowd regarding ‘ them with ill-
disguised envy. A roast beef, delicately
done, was put steaming hot upon the table ;_
then followed corn pudding, whose delicate
aroma fell upon the olfactories of the excit-
ed crowd “like breezes of Araby the 'blcst ;"
a profusion of vegetables, cooked to, perfecJ
tion, followed next. The judges ate and
ate, praising the flavor of the food and . the,
skill of the cookat' every mouthful. 'But'
when. at‘last, a dessert of piping hot apple
dumplings made its appearance, the forbear-
ance of the crowd was at an end. They
broke through the ropes into the ring with
one accord, and the dumplings disappeared
inatrice. ' .. ' ,, >
One old fellow, proprietor of a store and
owner of a big saw mill, proposed to the
young lady on the spot, but he was quickly
collared'.and led ofi‘ the grounds by two
young aspirants, who made common cause
against the aged suitor, saw mill and all.
That young lady was the center of attraction
in her tov’vn after the cooking/feat. She re-
ceived twenty-five offers of marriage the
first week, and her fame spread through
the country round. ' ~
An old bachelor fellow down in Grundy
county, with a farm so big that it' takes him
all day to ride around it, and cattle on a
hundred 'hills, heard of her and made a
pilgrimage all the way to~the town to learn
the truth. He got the girl too although
some of the young men “of the ’ place .sued
for a writ of habeas corpus to prevent 110,1‘
being carried out of the county. Theywere
too late.
This is, I am aware, a rather sad ending
for so good a story, but devotion to 11w truth
compels me to give nothinE but the simple
unvarnished reality. She ought to have
married that fellow who sat up there in the
crotch of the tree so long and at suéh' fear-
ful discomfort. He wanted her, and he was
a poor, bilious dyspeptic whdm hcr splendid
cooking would have soon restored-to useful-
ness and society, but he was poor. Ah !—

Anna Dicklsou on Women": Work.
The Mime gives the following summary
of Miss Dickinson's new lecture,,“What's to
Hinder 1’":
She began by Saying that a good. many
people were asking for woman, and many
wo‘mcnwcre asking for themselves, equal
reward for their labor with men. The
world has said, “What’s to hinder i” and
there was no law, human or divine, that
' could hinder a womanvfrom doing what she
liked. .
Twenty-yesrs ago, Miss Dickinson con~
tinned, did a woman knbck at the door of
the professions. She was turned- away
with ridic’ulc;but to-day if she but knock
the door will be opened, and, if it be not
opened, she has only to push determinedly,
to find that it is unboltcd. To-day will be.
found many women in the professions and
trades as well as men. If a woman only
picks her work, learns her work, knows her.
work, she can find plenty to do, and at least
decent compensation. ~
. Many say tb.at a man gets his‘3,000 or
$4,000 a‘yearkbccause he is a man, and a
woman gets her $4 and $5 a week because
she is awoman. But it is not so. 1 man
gets a large salary because he earns it, while
a woman ~gets‘a very small one because
half the time She does not earn half the
salary she receives. ' There are 80,000 seam-
stresses in the United States, and they get
wretched pay because generally they do
wretched work. ‘
Miss Dickinson said she knew of several
women who were getting very large salaries,
in various factories, because they did excep-
tionally fine work. She had talked with
whom told her that they w,ould;giye $3,000
and $4.000,if women would fit themselves
for the work. -But girls will not fit them-
selves forhigli places, while for the sub?
ordinate positions therc are 10 applicants
to one person wanted.
Go into a dry goods store, and inquire
for any article, and if it be not in the estab-
lishment the male clerk will show. you so
other things, and in ten minutes make you
believe that you cannot get along without
49 of the 50 articles. But a woman behind
the counter is ilnpudent if not positively in-
solent. A young man respects his work
and himself, while a woman despises her
work, and deems it degrading, and is lazy.
But behind all this .thcre is milieu-"“3
else. Every child combat-3"” the WI.“
has a "fin,” -rsume kind and an education
urnsome kind. A boy runs, walks. and
stands alone ; he has to solve his problem
unaided, and if he falls, has to pick himself
up again. But agirl has to be supported
when she stands, and is tied to somebody’s
apron strings when she walks. '
She falls, and is picked Up by hands in-
tended to be kind, but which rather are
cruel. She is pettcd and daily rendered
unable to care for herself in the future, for
she may some time have to stand alone,
fight the battle of life, singlehandcd, and
come face to face with poverty. Then
when'you see a man climb triumphantly to
success while the woman falters, all the
world says, “What can you expect ?"
But there is a barrier which is stronger
than stone, and that is public opinion, which
spurs a man onward, and make it preemi-
nently dishonorable for him to be idle while
it teaches woman idleness. It stimulates in
a woman a desire for display and idleness,
and a rare and elegant life, while it binds
her, hand and foot, to detain her from cam-
ing these luxuries. ‘
But if a woman has to earn her daily
bread let her boldly face public opin-
ion, pick her work, learn her work, know
her work, and triumph in her work, and the
world will (1011' its cap and acknowledge
her true worth. - a -

with the utmost terror, by the sudden crash-

the entrance of a huge bird, which after

exploring for a milder climate,- and seeming.
satisfied that he'had found it, continued his
search fora roosting place. Having once
more placed himself “on the wing” he 'at
last decided to favor me with his company,
and after flying about my bed-room, perch-
ed himself. upon the head of my bedstead,
within six inches of my head ; not relishing
such close approximation with such a pair
of grapples, I-managed to turn myself with
much difiiculty, enough to place my arm
about his neck. After confining him thus, I
at once discovered in him an old offender
that was “hawking“ about my premises last
summer thereby» depriving me of part of a
fine' brood of chickens. After charging
him with the theft, andreccwiug no denial,
I passed him ovcr to a friend who chanced
to enter 'at that time, who I believe has
placed him upon exhibition, and disclOsed
his acts of burglary and robbery to the pub-
lic.
