EDITORIAL LETTER.
WAsnrxo-rox, March 23, 1873.
DEAR GAZETTE—All the past week has
been occupied by the Senate in a varied and
extended discussion of the Caldwell case.
There has been a daily batch of nominations
acted upon, but these were but incidental.
Had the‘ Caldwell committee presented a
resolution of expulsion, the course and duty
of the Senate would have been plain. But
reporting that “Caldwell was not duly and
legally elected,” presents a case without pro-
cedent. It revives all the old State's rights
notions, and, except in the view presented
by our Senator Fe'rry,_yesterday, that a per-
son may be a Senator defacio, invites a train
of complex opinions, as was luminously and
voluminously detailed by Senator Conkling
in his great effort, occupying two days in its
delivery. It was a pity jo blemish so suc-
cessful apiece of oratory by the personal
shy at Senator Schurn at its close, which
naturally led to a most undignified wrangle.
On Friday, Mr. Ferry introduced as an
amendment to the committee’s report, a res»
olutiofi of expulsion. Yesterday he occu-
‘pied the floor in a half hour’s Qeeeb of
great force and clearness, in explanation of
his motives for the proposed substitution,
No speech yct ntade 'in the Caldwell case
has been-accorded so perfect and absorbing
attention on the part of the entire Senate.
At its close, Gov. Buckingham expressed to
us, with a warmth of admiration, his opinion
that it was the most able, logical and elo-
queut speech yet- delivered in the Seraate.
Hoping to furnish it entire for next week’s
Guerra, we will not mar its beauty and
nterest by attempting any synopsis now.
At the close of Mr. Perry's speech an at-
tempt was made _ to reach a vote, but with-
out success. It is understood that Senator
Morton is preparing himself for a final
speech next week, when his great powers of
mind will no doubt be made more apparent
than ever. In some way or another,4he
great Indiana Senator and Mr. Conkling, of
New York, have got (at least in the public
mind) pitted against each other for the
championship of the Senate. Any move-
ment of either has come to be understood as
a standing menace to the other, so that
Morton’s concluding speech is expected to
be more of a reply to the points made by
Conkling than a further defence of his reso-
lution.
Quite a contest took place Friday, in ex-
ecutive session, over the confirmation of
“brother-in-law Casey,” which was renewed
again on Saturday evening, resulting in his
final confirmation. This is an act, in the
opinion of many of the President’s best
friends, as far less excusable than the “salary
steal,” as it is so glibly denominated. .
None of of our Connecticut delegation in
either House have touched the five thousand
dollars due them all but Gen. Hnwley. He
having filled the vacancy caused by the
death of Congressman Strong, was entitled
to but $1,000 out of the five voted, and as
the act provides its payment only to the
sitting member, the estate of Mr. Strong is
debut-red any ifitercst therein.
It is now generally anticipated that the
Senate will close its executive session by
Wednesday next, yet as there is a disposi-
tion to allow “all the brethren to free their
minds,” there is no certainty ot it.
We have heretofore alluded to a men-
strous attempt at art suspended in the east
stairway of the Senate, representing Perry’s
battle and victory on Lake Eric. A good
and sincere old lady viewing it with mingled
emotions of wonder and fear, asked a friend
of ours if that “was intended to represent
lVashington crossing the Delaware 1"" The
good matron is the first one to give a reason-
able suggcstion of what it was intended to
represent, and yet $20,000 has been already
taken from the Treasury for the abomina-
tion.
The United States Treasury yesterday re~
ccived a letter from a gentleman at Scotts-
ville, Illinois, inclesing the mutilated re
mains of sixty dollars worth of greenbacks,
which the writer said was a part Ofafl sum
which had “been chawed up by hoggs.” Of
the $60, $55 worth of bills was identified by
Gen. Spinner‘s experts,and will be redeemed.
The total amount of the various appropri-
tion bills passed at the last session of Con:
gress exceeds the amount of the preVious
session about fifty-four millions of dollars.
The details of the various appropriations are
as follows : Preliminary deficiency, $1,699,-
833; Texan Border Commission, $18,490;
pension, $30,480,000 ; American and British
Claims Commission, $613,500; Indian, $5,-
512,218; fortification, $1,899,000; consular
and diplomatic, $1,311,359 ; Military Acad~
emy, $844,347; legislative, executive, and
judicial, estimated, $19,500,000 ; naval, $22,-
275,757; army, $31,796,008 ; Post Office,
$8,529,167; river and harbor, $6,112,900 ;*
sundry civil, $82,175,415; deficiency, $9,242,-
871 : total, $195,310,839.
Gen. Sherman has received a dispatch
from Gen. Canby, dated Van Brewer’s
ranche, 10th inst, saying that the troops are
in position around the Modoc lava beds,
waiting for the assembling of the peace com-
mission. He. intimates that delay is danger-
ous, as warm weather is approaching, when
the Indians can support themselves in the
mountains.
The commutation of the sentence of the
murderer O’Brien here, by ‘ the President,
coming asit did on the day of Foster’s exe-
cution,caused quite a local excitement. It
has taken on a sectarian character, which of
course increases the bitterness of the feeling:
O’Brien is a Catholic and influential parties
of that faith, and notably Mrs. Gen. Sher-
man, are credited with using an undue in-
fluence with the President. The murder
was one of the most wanton and atrocious
of any recorded in all the dark catalogue of
recent homicides. The pardon finds its
most reasonable solution in the fact that
Gen. Ben. Butler was “retained” by the
murderer’s friends, at the last moment. He
' was to have been executed next Friday.
We have not yet been favored with the
advent of our “Borough Cler ” and his
bride, announced as probably from Nor-
walk. The sober second thought of the
happy groom may have prudently led him
to change‘his purpose of halting in so unre-
generatedaplace as Washington to start
on the honeymoon. Should he yet arrive,
respect for his official position at home and
admiration for his ultimate courage shall in:
sDire in us special efforts to make his visit a
source of rejuvenating delight.
M3.l~'Gell- Clark, of Texas, is-still here.
MTS- Dr. Pel‘tlee; of Norwalk, Mr. Downs,
01‘ Bridgeport. and B.- Hudson. of Norwich,
are also here. B.

REPRESENTATIVES.
We would urge upon our friends through-
out the county, the greatest importance of
nominating and electing the BEST men in the
various townships to represent thetn in the
next General Assembly. It will undoubted-
ly be one of the most important sessions
held for years, as there will be several
serious and weighty matters to be consider-
ed and acted upon, and in. order to have
them well and fairly settled, we should eu-
dcavor to have our mo'st thoughtful. ex.
pcrienced and able men there present to
legislate for us.
The subject of a Constitutional Conven-
tion must be met and have thc‘considcra-
tion and fair treatmentlhat it deserves. It
is evident to all sensible, honest thinkers
that there is a necessity for something being
done on that subject, although, many think.
that the ends sought to be accomplished can
be more readily obtained, in much less time
and without the great expense attending a
Convention, by a few wise amendments to
our present. Constitution. For instance,
amendments correcting and equalizing the
present system of representation ; to hold
fewer elections ; and most important of all,
cut ofiiall special legislation, and thereby do
away with the necessity of long sessions, and
remove fruitful sources of corruption.
A few amendments of this character, it is
thought and claimed by some of our public
men, might be so framed that when added to
our present Constitution,it would then be
equal to any new one, and be a great saving
in the matter of expense to the State.
Again, we would urge theimportance and
necessity of chOOsing our best men to repre
sent us in the Legislature. .

New HAnrsrrmn.—-Thc latest returns
from New Hampshire gives the result of the
late election substantially the satire as print-
ed in our last. Governor Straw has been
re-clcctcd b ' a majority of 250, and the re
publicans elect two out of the three con-
gressmen, who were all democrats in the
last House. After the vacancies are filled
by- thc legislature the republicans will have
four of the five conncilors, nine of the
twelve senators and about fifty-two majority '
in the House over the democrats and
The total vote is less than last
year’s by 7,217.
Mr. H. R. Treadwell, of Westport, is the
nominee of the Republicans of the Tenth
District for the Senate. That district is the
Egypt of Connecticut but we are glad to
see that our Republican friends there are
determined to deserve success by placing in
nomination a first-class candidate.

At the Republican Convention, last week
Monday, no nomination was made for Judge
of Probate for the District of Norwalk. We
infer from this that Republicans generally
are satisfied to retain the present incumbent
who has so long held the ofilcc, and whom
the people will be sure to honor with a re«
election. , ‘
Hocsn-Bnnsxnvo.—On Sunday night last,
about twelve o’clock, Mrs. Carpenter, a
widow lady living in a house up Main street,
was awakened from her slumbers by a
noise in the house. Supposing it to have
been caused by an invalid lady in the next
room, she called and asked what was the
matter. Receiving no reply she partly
raised herself from the bed, when she was
roughly seized by a man, who told ‘her he
had a knife, and would kill her if she made
a disturbance. She resisted, however, and
in the strnglc was pushed against a book-
case, which was knocked over and the glass
doors broken. Her daughter, who was
sleeping with her, was awakened by .the
noise, and rushed to a window and called
for help. As she continued her screams the
villain seemed to think it time for him to
leave, and quite deliberately walked down
stairs and tried to get out of the front door,
but failing in this, unlocked a side door and
made off through the back yard. In the
struggle Mrs. Carpenter was cut in the hand
by the knife. The man efi‘ected entrance by
prying open a window on the ground floor.
This is the second case which has recently
occurred in that vicinity, and more than
likely, from the descriptions given, this man
was eouuccted with the first.

At the South. Norwalk Council Meeting
last week Monday evening, Strectv Commis-
sioner Dibble snbmittcd‘ estimates for street
repairs for the next eight months. He
thinks that the sum of $800 will pay for the
necessary repairs during that time. The
cost for improvements will depend upon the
action of the common council. Two hun-
dred dollars will finish all the work com-
menced. '
An important Report from the Chief of
Police was read and ofdered on file. In
this Report the Chief refers to the regular
policemen in very unfavorable terms, pro-
nouncing them insubordinate, and “neither
efficient or vigilant.” He detailed incidents
in proof of his damaging statements, which,
he says, he can prove by responsible par-
ties. He has remonstrated with them, as in
duty bound, but has received insolent lan-
guage in response, and they tell him that
“if the city does not like it they can dis
charge" them, etc. ‘He recommended the
adoption ofa uniform, and that every police-
man shap be a resident of the City ; that
the Ohio . shall have power to suspend any
member of the Police force for any viola-
tion of the general rules and regulations
until such suspension shall be approved or
disapproved.
82 arrests were made, of which 58 were
for drunkeness, 3 for selling liquor on Sun-
day and 1 for-selling liquor to minors.

‘ DONATION—Th0 parishioners of the Zion

Lockwood’s Hall, last Thursday evening, for
the benefit of their pastor, which was large-
ly attended. The total amount received
was $128, of which sum, after deducting ex-
penses, the minister received $91. The
society are grateful to the public for this
manifestation of interest and liberality
towards them.

_ Judge Minor-lb Accept-nee.
In reply to the letter of thc‘committee "of
the'Republican Congressional Convention,
notifying him of his nomination, Judge
Minor has written the following letter :—
GENTLEMEN—I have the honor. to ac-
knowledge the rcceipt of your communica-
tion announcing my nomination as a candi-
date for Congress b the Republican con-
vention holden at ridgeport on the 12th
lust, and containing also the resolutions of
that convention. ‘ . .
I tender to the convention my thanks for
this expression of their confidence, and ac-
cept the nomination. The resolutions ex-
cept the One personal to myself, meet my
most cordial approval.
It is a matter of congratulation that the
convention has condemmed all jobbery and
corruption, whereby the country is dishon-
ored by the acts of its legislators and the
people :dcbauched by the corrupt use of
money in popular elections.
, In my judgment the act of the last Cot:-
gress appropriating to each one of its mem-
bers, from the treasury of the United States,
the sum of $5,000, is the most alarming as
well as the most immoral not ever carried
into effect by any legislative body- in this
country. ,
The last congress had, wi bout doubt, the
constitutional right to fix rate of com-
pcnsation for the members 'of a succeeding
Congress; whether the compensation
should be increased or not, was but a ques-
tion offitness and policy. My convictions
are very decided that it Was neither .proper
or politic to increas the compensation, now
while the country is staggering under the
burden of its large,public debt. '1
Upon whatever grounds any member of
Congress who voted to increase his compen-
sation for the future may justify himself, I
feel quite sure that he can neither justify
himself to his own conscien e or before the
moral sense of the people 0 this country,
for the act of plunging his hand into the
treasury and abstracting therefrom the sum
of $5,000 under the pretended claim of
compensation for services. While the cons-
titution does not in terms prohibit Congress
from increasing the compensation at" its
members for the time for which they twere
elected, et such increase is in opposition
to the spirit of that instrument, as well as to
the plaincst principles of virtue and morali-
ty.
1f called by the snfi‘rages of the constitu-
ency of this district to represent them in the
next Congress. I can only say, that, Pro-
vidence permitting my endeavor will be to
be constantly at my post, and that my voice
and vote will be given for the strictest
economy in the management of the affairs
of the government, and for such just and
honest measures as in my judgement shall
be beneficial not only to the interests of this
district, but also to the interests of the
whole country.
With much respect,
I am your obed’t serv’t, ,

The Caldwell Cale. ,
The New York Time of Stmday last eon-
taincd the following special dispatch from
its Washington correspondent :—
WAsnmo'ron, March 22.—-The Senate spent
most ofto-day in executive ion, and made
little progress with the Cal ell case. The
only speech directly on that subject was by
Mr. Ferry, ofConn., and it will rank as one
of the three or four really able speeches
thus far during the bebate. He dealt brieffiy
with the law points, and briefly with the ev.
idence, but sharply, vigorously, and clearly.
He created considerable confusion in the
camp of Caldwell’s special defenders. He
took the position that the Senate could dc-
clare an election void that had been obtain-
ed by bribery, but the evidence must be
plain that the whole number of votes, by
which the majority was made up, were bri-
bed votes. In this case he was not satsfied
that the evidence showed such an amount
of bribery as that. He was inclined, from
the testmfimy, to believe there was, but not
feeling quite sure on that point; he could
not vote for the committee’s resolution; but
he was convinced by, the evidence that
members of the Legislature had been bribed ,
and that Caldwell was in complicity with
that brjbpry; therefore, he should vote for
expulsion. MnFerry alluded to Mr, Cook-
lung’s argument that the Scout! ’had no
power to declare an election void on account
ofits hpving been carried by bribed votes,
and‘sard that he considered the spirit and
doctrines of that speech dangerous,calculated
to subvert all political moralit ,and to sub-
vert the foundations of repub ican govern-
men t, He thought there was a monstrous fal-
lacy tn the argument which brought Sena-
tpr Conkling to that conclusion, and he be-
lieved he saw the fallacy. It was in the
claim that the Senate must judge of the e1ec~
tion of a Senator under the same rules, by
which a court would judge of the passage of
a statute. The courts had prescribed certain
rules tocontrol their judgments, and had
agreed that they would not set a. statute
aside because it was passed by bribed votes;
but the common law regulations, regulating
arliamentary proceedings were different.
twns held in common law uniformly that a
bribed vote was no vote, and should not be
counted. If, after throwing out votes prov-
ed to have been bribed, the majority was
destroyed, then the election was void.

The Haunted School House Again.
A Newburyport gentleman, claiming to
be thoroughly acquainted in that place, and
to have made personal investigations in the
school house affair, writes a letter to the
Springfield Union from which we extract
the following :—
“The first thing which the committee did
was to‘ make a thorough examination of the
premises, and they found the building in
great need of repairs, anotable characteris
tic of__ “haunted” houses everywhere.
Patches of. plastering had fallen from the
ceiling, the cellar was easily accessible
from the outside, the front door was usually
left unlocked, and from the front entry
the attic was reached without the slight-
est_ obstacle , of lock .or bolt. The
cellar is small, extending only under the
entry. The attic is not floored. Aledge ex-
tends under-the building, so that the chop-
ping of wood in a neighboring house can be
distinctly heard in the school room. The
committee caused" suitable repairs to be
made; so that now the cellar cannofiofié

By a padlock, and the front door is kept
locked. After the repairs by the committee
many ofthe noises ceased, though it is well
known that ghosts, like Cupid, laugh at
bolts and locks.
An examination of the boys was‘ had,
some of whom made admissions similar to
the _following:—‘A, Confessed that he re-
peatedly went into the entry and put up his
hand before the window, passing it back
and forth: B. that he played host, covering
his face with a white cloth; 5, that he was
kept from school by his mother on account
of a sore foot but went to the school house
and into the entry, that the teacher came
Out of the school room at the door farthest
from the attic stairs, and finding he could
not escape by the front door, retreated up
the attic stairs followed by the teacher, that
he slipped by her run down the stairs and
escaped, the teacher, he» said, being much
trightened;Cand D said that they often
played ghost to frighten the girls in a neigh-
boring school, and two or three. others
stated that they had often climbed the trees
and tried to throw shadows and bright
lights into the room, and that they often
rappli on the cellar door from the inside.
Balls of elastic cord were found, and also a
spike suspended in the cellar way, so
arranged that it could give troublesome rap-
pings, and a joist, formerly used to fasten
the trap-door, fixed so as to strike the floor
above. Nobody disputes the “cuteness" of
Yankee boys, and boys in a New England
seaport town are so much like fish that it
takes an old hand to catch ’em. The news-
paper reporters who came from Boston to
this place did not know where to cast their
bait and failed. Had they employed an old
salt, they mighthave found the truth sooner,
had they desired it. Therearc still some of
our citizens who are reluci‘aut to part with
the blue-eyed ghost clad in brown, but in
the light ofwhat the investigations have re-
vealed. it requires a.good deal of credulity
to believe that the manifestations have had
any more ghostly origin than very wide-
awake and roguish school boys.

The Portchester Journal man is trying
his hand at funny paragraphs. Here are
some of hissllatest squibs:
A young Port Chester chap recently
broke his en agctbent with his seventh
sweet-heart. he “seventh” was red with
rage, and exclaimed: “He’s mean, he’s
a-a—I don't know what to call him."
“Call him a bean . of promise,” said her
companion. ~
Some one calls the watered stock of
“Credit Mobilier,” “Congress Water.” We
presume because much of it was obtained
from Brooks.
The man who did not like the cold snap,
was the chap who broke his leg. '
Onr‘carpenters pay heavy f‘board" bills,”
and so do our lumber dealers.
' A Port Chesterite wants to know if this
can be “The land ofthe free,” with its “ice-
bonnd coast andmountain chains.”
A Port Chester school-marm asked a
small boy the other day if he could spell.
“Yaas, mum.” “How ?” “Why, just as
other folkses do.” He was “hoisted down”
to the “head of the class.
A lazy Port Chester school boy says he
can only learn the first five letters of the
alphabet, he likes his “E's” so well.
Our druggists will never become topers,
because they have so many “scruples to
every dram," which keeps their balance
perfect.

Wells and (ll-terns as a Source of
Water Supply.
Mnssus. Enrrons :—-Many citizens excuse
supporting our Water Works, by the old
and exploded notion that there is no purer
or better watcr'for drinking or culinary pur-
poses than that furnished by wells and cis-
terns. Such sources, probably, at one time
did furnish the best supply that was-then
attainable, but the fact is very different now ;
for as the density of the population increases
with the various occupations and business
pursuits, the soil becomes saturated by im-
purities of every description, which cannot
fail, we fear, too often to frightfully contam-
inate the water of the wells.
In close proximity to wells are very often
deep privy vaults, cess pools, perhaps a
leaky gas pipe, sewors carrying the filth and
drainage of the town, and occasionally some
old'cemetery,all of which contribute, in some
degree, their liquid and noxious products to
the porous soil, to find their way down to
the impervious clay or rock strata, com-
mingling as it descends with the water in
the strata of gravel or sand,which forms
the underground water courses, and sooner
or later assisting in supplying our wells with
the water which we drink and use, and
fancy pure and wholesome. '
The immortal Frauklin,philosopher and
statesman, called the attention of the people
of Philadelphia to the necessity of supply-
ing that city from other sources than Wells!
The city had just suffered from a visitation
of yellow fever,'and he urged this suggestion
as a sanitary precaution. In his will dated
June 23d, 1789, he made the following phil-
’anthropic provision : “Having considered
that the covering of the ground plot of the
city with buildings and pavements, which
carry off mest‘ of the rain, and prevent its
soaking into the earth and renewing and
purifying the springs thncc the waters of
the wells must gradually grow worse, and
.in time be unfit for use, as I find has hap-
pened in all old cities, I recommend that at
the end of the first one hundred years, afoot
done before, the corporation of the city em-
ploy a part of the £100,000 in bringing, by
pipes, the water of the Wissahiccon Creek
into the town, so as to supply the inhabi-
tants."
Dr. Chandler, of New York, chemist to
the Metropolitan Board or Health, asserts
that many diseases of the most fatal charac-
ter, are now traced to the use of water
poisoned with the soakagc from soils
charged with sewage and excremental mat-
ters. Sudden outbreaks of disease of a
dysenteric character are often caused by an
irruptiou of sewage into wells. Such con-
tamination of the water is not indicated by
any perceptible change in the appearance of
the water. The filtered sewage, clear and
transparent, carries with it the germs of dis-
case."
He also quotes the famous case of the-
‘Broad street pump in London,(mentioucd
by Burncll in his admirable work,) in one
of the most fashionable localities in the
West End : “During the visitation
.. of the cholera of 1848-1849, this pump
killed 500 persons in a single week by
disseminating cholera. The wealthy people
of the west and went to Brompton, a fash‘
ionablc summer resort, about five miles up
the Thames, and soon the cholera broke out
among them there. - The health ofiicers soon
discovered, on investigation, that these
people had been in the habit of sending to
the Broad street pump for tea water, and
had brought the cholera with it. A curious
moved to Hampstead, three miles from the
pump, but who sent her maid daily for a
kettle of the highly prized tea water. She
and her maid were the only persons who
suffered from cholera at. Hampstead. Many
similar cases are on record." .
An examination of the. table of deaths
from typhoid and typhus lever in Boston,
shows a sudden and remarkable diminution
of the number after 1848, the year of the in-
troduction ot a supply of very pure water
from Lake Cochituate.which led to a general
abandonment of wells. Not only was it ob-
served by physicians that these fevers be-
came comparatively less .frequent, but also
greatly mitigated in their severity.
'The purity of minor pine-Alf WPter 15
amp”..- red, when it is re-
greetfittigred‘that the rain as it first descends is
far from being pure, as all light gases, gen-
erated by the innumerable decompositions
constantly going on within and on the sur-
face of the earth, ascend into the atmos-
phere, just as all streams of water descend
to the ocean. One of the chief natural
contaminated is as incessantly purified,is
the frequent showers of comparatively pure
water which carry down to the earth a
large part of the forcign gases in solution
and floating particles of solid tnattcr held in
suspension. Thus the atmosphere is cleansed
and rendered fit for respiration, but to the
sons: extent the cleansing agent itself 2's render-
ed impure. The impurities of rain water
therefore must Vary both in kind and' quam
tity secording to the purity or impurity of
the air, and it must also be remembered that
the roofs on which it falls and the gutters
through which it flows, are the recipients of
every imaginable kind. of pnlverulcnt matter
which the winds may sweep up from the
streets in which organic matter is always in
abundance, and that all this is carried into
the cistern; and this process repeated so
often as it rains. it must be apparent that
cistern water cannot possibly be pure, and
may be very inipure. If mctalic roofs are
painted with .lead paint. a portion of this
and also of the solder is dissolved by the
rain and carried down to poison the water
in the cistern. While the exclusion of the
air and light prevents the development of
microscopic organisms in close cisterns, and
in so far may be considered adVantageous,
at the same time it prevents the rotation of
ihe water by which the organic matter
would be rapidly oxydizcd into harmless
compounds. Under these circumstances the
organic matter undergoes a different and
slower decomposition, during which the
generation 6f sulphur-cited hydrogen and
light carburetted hydrogen or marsh gas is
formed. Wooden cisterns largely contami~
unto the waterthcy contain by the products
of their own decay. The impossibility of
remedying these .evils entirely by filtration
is now conceded by our most eminent
chemists.
The above is compiled from the works of
various authors, who are considered and
acknowledged by experts as 'good authority
on the subjects treated upon. We do not
claim'any originality of ideas for this com-
munication ; we have simply tried to bring
together, into compact shape, information

cause the hair to fall out, it is a matter or
no little importance to know which of the
hair preparuti s are of any value. The

possess little or no merit. Such being the
fact, it is consoling to those who are :tfilicl-

A CARD.
I desire to inform the Reverend gentleman who
preached in the First Methodist Church last Sun-
day evening, that he was mistaken tn the person he
referred to as being one of the “Norwalk Statues.”
I hereby deny the charge,as I never stand outside
a ct nrch, either before or after service, forI consrd-
or it exceedingly vulgar. If the Reverend cutle-
rnon would like to know the reason of my gmng out
I will inform him. A boy called for me to know it
Dr. hicsman was in church as his services were need-
ed by a sick lady in the next building._ I wrsh that
the Reverend gentleman would be a little more re-
served in his' personal remarks about respectable
voung men until he knows of what he is talking. .
