Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, March 71h.
DEAR Gmm:—Thcre has been little
legislation accomplished the past week of
any general interest. In the Senate, the
centennial appropriation has absorbed
much time and launched a copious flow of
oratory. It finally went back to the com-
mittee'last evening. Mr. Sumner yesterday
occupied a good portion of the session in a
speech against the policy of the National
Government assuming any pecuniary re-
sponsibility for this show, for if it did he
was sure the Treasury would not only have
to pay the three millions called for in the
bill under consideration, but twenty-five
or more millions before the thing was end-
ed. He read the record of the Pennsyl-
vania Senators who announced (when the
question of a centennial was first presented,
and it was charged that it was an attempt
to involve the National Government into
an enormous expenditure), that all their
State and the city Of Philadelphia desired
was the privilege of inaugurating a great
centennial exhibition and paying all the
bills themselves. Mr. Ferry, in his brief
address delivered in the earlier part of the
debate, took essentially the same grounds
as Mr. Sumner in opposition to the scheme-
He also sharply denounced the subterfuge
adopted to involve the Nation in a full re-
sponsibility for the affair, pecuniarly and
otherwise, and especially objected to its in-
ternational features.
The House has been mainly engaged on
the private calendars, and yesterday passed
an unprecedented number of bills.
The Senate last evening confirmed Gen.
Sewell as Supervisor of Internal Revenue
for the New England states. to fill the va-
cancy caused by the resignation of Mr.
Simmons, appointed collector of Boston.
It is to be hoped the General will be more
successful in his administration than when
acting as Provost Marshal for Connecticut.
The event of the week of special interest
to the home readers, was thebanquet given
Chief Justice Waite by the alumni of Yale
College, on Monday evening. It was got-
ten up by the Rosellcs of the Arlington,
under the general supervision of Represen-
tative S; W. Kellogg. Some seventy grad-
uates and honorary members of Yale sat
down to one of the most tempting and gor-
geously arrayed “ spreads” ever prepared in
Washington. Gen. Kellogg sat at the cen-
ter of the table and conducted the exercises
with a felicity and grace which won him
the highest praise from all present. On his
right sat President Grant and on his left the
Chief Justice. A blessiong was invoked
by President Porter, who, with Messrs-
Evarts and Pierrepont, had come here on
purpose to do honor to the guest of the
evening. The tables were spread in the
double parlors of the large brick mansion
opposite the Arlington. After the cloth
was removed, Gen. Kellogg proposed the
health of the President of the United
States who had given the opportunity for
the gathering. He then, in a crisp and clo~
quent little speech, paid the highest tribute
to him in whose honor they had convened
and also to their venerable and honored
Alma Mater. In closing, he turned to the
Chief Justice, and said, “Long may you
live to enjoy the high distinction bestowed
upon you, and to honor the bench and the
country, for as long as you remain there we
know we shall have one ‘Clear in his
great Ofiice,’-— an upright judge, and one
who feareth God and escheweth evil. Like
Chief Justice Marshall, may you preside
there until the frosts Of more than four-score
winters shall have whitened your locks,
with your eye still undimmed, your natural
force unabated, and in the full possession of
all the faculties which the good God has
,given you. Brothers in Yale, I give you as
a toast: ‘ Our distinguished guest this even-
ing, the Chief Justice of the United States.’ "
The sentiment was most enthusiastically
applauded by a vigorous clapping of hands.
The Chief Justice then rose and most
happily responded in a five minutes wee-ch. :
He heartily eulcgizcd ibri’ Aims Elation]
whom, he said, they all ought to love, and,
in conclusion, said, “ A good beginning is a
_ step towards a good ending. The choice of
Chief Justice might have fallen on one
more able or worthy than himself, but not
on one more honest and earnest in his en.
dcsvor to perform the duties of-his ofiice
faithfully and well. If he should fail, it
would detract from the honor of his own
Alma Mater." He gave the toast, “Our
Alma Mater, may the time never come
when she may wish she had never loved
us.”
This was responded to by President Por-
”ter, who spoke in especial recognition of
the great ability of the class 0“ 15337. and 7
the unusual distinction which had Mllowrd l
its members in subsequent life. He sairl 119
felt a peculiar interest in that class, and the
high character it had ever borne. He said
it was the first class in Yale with which he
commenced duty as a teacher, be having
been its tutor.
Mr. Kellogg, after reading a congratulaf
tory letter from ex.-President Woolsey, in
which he also expressed his regrets at being
unable to attend the ovation, gave the fol-
lowing toast sent by Prof. B. Silliman, of
Yale, a classmate of the Chief Justice and
corresponding secretary of the class:
“ The class of 1887, from Yale: What
other class can boast of an Attorney Gen-
eral, two members of: Geneva Arbitration,
or three whose names have been prominent-
ly mentioned for the office of Chief Justice
of the United States, an office for which
two of the three are so willing to Waite,
(wait ."
This toast brought out Mr. Wm. M.
Evsrts, who in the happiest manner re-
sponded, and with rarest wit and sentiment
and eloquence, kept the table convulsed
with merriment for a full half hour. In re-
ferring to the service of the Chief Justice
and himself in the Geneva Arbitration, and
of his friend Judge Pierrepont, across the
table, he thought the faithful manner in
which the trio had adhered to the Treasury
of their country, should not be lost sight of,
while receiving the laudations they with-
out any feeling ofcgotism or desire for self
praise, were so conscious of deserving. His
.‘sallies of wit and bursts of really eloquent
sentiment brought Judge Pierrepont to his
feet. The Judge said in college the Chief
Justice had been sandwiched between his
"excellent friend Evans and himself, a
circumstance to which his great subsequent
distinction and present elevation was un-
questionably due. Had it not been for the
friction and attrition thus stimulated we
should have had, he said, with mock seri-
ousness, no Chief Justice here to honor to-
night. He thought this was afact that
should make a deep impression upon the
L‘
peeially when he and his friend Evarts
should have occasion to appear before him
in the trial of their causes. If unfortunate-
ly he and Evarts should chance to be on
opposite sides in any ease,then he, J udgc
P., having been the first ,to bring those
pleasant reminiscences of college life to his
remembrance, was clearly entitled to have
whatsoever parlialilies there were in his
nature, bestowed on his clients instead of
on Evart’s 1 Hon. Peter Parker, Ex-U. S.
Minister to China, Congressman Roberts, Of
the Utica Harald, Representative Woodford
of N. Y .,and Mr.M’Vcigh of Pa., made happy
speeches, and Dr. Cox, ‘of Washington,
read a poem full of the happiest hits and
conceits. Mr. Woodtord when called out,
said he felt some little embarrassment in
responding for old Yale, because the then
faculty had graduated hima year and a
half before the rest of his class (1) At the.
time, the pretense was certain irregularities
on his part, but he knew itwas only be-
cause they feared he would hear Off the
valcdictory, if they let so promising a young
student remain till the end of his course.
But be repaired to Columbia, where he did
win the valediciory and didn’t have to
struggle half as hard for it either as he would
have done had he been permitted to con-
tinue at Yale. Subsequently, he said, after
he had attained to some little success in his
profession, the faculty of Yale thought
better of him and forwarded the coveted
parchment, announcing a conferring Of the
honorary degrees to which he should have
been entitled. He said he immediately
wrote the faculty that their apology was
accepted and he should view it as an ample
atonement for the wrong done him in the
past, and henceforth he should look upon
old Yale and its faculty without prejudice.
M’Vcigh said much flattery had been be-
stowed upon the famous class 5f ’37 but he
felt that himself and other younger gradu-
ates might well fecl vindicated, when Presi-
dent Portcr had to apologize for it, in the
manner he had done, by confessing it was
thcfirst class he had ever tried his hand at(l)
The President was then young, inexperienc-
ed and' new to the business, but in subse-
quent years, when he himself and the
younger alumni about him, were in college,
President Porter had become an expert and
renowned teacher, and the great worth and
astonishing ability of these later graduates
could not fail to impress every one present
as compared with even so distinguished a
class as that of which the Chief J usiicc was
so respectable a member!
The Associate Judges of the Supreme
Court were in attendance but did not join
in the responses.
The “feast of baked meals,” which seem-
ingly comprised every delicacy the art 'of
man could devise to tempt the appetite, bore
no comparison to the rich feast of reason
and flow of soul, which icllowed
sumptuous rcpast. All present seemed to
concede that they had never witnessed more
brilliant displays of after dinner wit and
statistics of the class of ’37, Mr. Kellogg, in
the course of his address said he found that
80 members of that class had 101 wives i
This had puzzled him not a little. but with
a broad charity for that class, he had per-
suaded himself into a belief that the might
not have had them all at the samc~ time!
He also discovered they had 341 children,
and if all had done as well as their distin-
guished friend from New York, (Mr. Evarts,)
they would have had just nine hundred and
sixty i This sally moved Mr. Evarls, who
has twelve children, to unwontcd merri-
ment.
A most gorgeous and enchanting feature
of the “spread" was the immense floral dec-
orations. The words “YA L E”~——r'- W
A I T E", were made in block letters,
some 28 inches by two feet each—of rarest
cut flowers, and spread down the centre an d
the cntire‘leugth of table. Between the in-
terstices of the letter were set various articles
of table garniturc. Then monster Boquets
of Rose Buds, Orange blossoms, Geraniums,
Violets, Callas and Azalias—werc placed in
high standing vases along the entire centre
of the table at distances of some four or five
feet. Between these elevated Boquct stands
ran a chain of similar flowers forming a con-
tinuous line its entire length. Then each
guest had a special boquct in a silver stand
in front of his plate of choicest buds. So
not only the eyes were ravishcd by the sight.
but the room was fairly laden with their
delightful perfumes. In all our observation
we never witnessed anything so lavish and
exquisitl y beautiful in floral decoration and
to our Representative Mr. Kellogg and the
taste and liberality ot theArlington Proprie-
tors, are due the praise of having eclipsed
everything of the kind ever attempted at
the capitol. There was but one single draw
back to this costly and unrivaled floral dis-
play, and that was, that there were no ladies
present to go into ruptures over this sea of
exotic bloom.
At noon on Wednesday, in the old senate
chambers, where erst we used to listen spell
bound to the eloquent utterances Of Clay.
Calhoun, Webster, Benton, Corwin and
Mangum,Mr. Waite appeared ,took the oflicial
oath and settled down into the central chair
made vacant by the death of Salmon P.
Chase, and at once gave his attention to the
business before the Court, just as easily and
quietly as if he had ‘bccn born to the place.
Titers was quite a strife among the attend-
ing attorneys a.» to who should first address
the new Chief Justicc. The dappcrliltle Cox
of N cw York and formerly a Congressman
also from Ohio was first to catch the new
officials atlcniiOn. He presented. two Ohio
attorneys for admission to practice before
the U. S. Court. It is an interesting fact that
three of. the nine present judges of the Sn-
preme Court are natives'of Connecticut, viz:
Chief J usticc ll'aite, of Lyme ; Judge Strong
of Somers, Judge Field, of Haddam. The
President. has appointed Editor Tibbetls of

Release of Ear-President Baez.
Judge Pratt has vacated the order of
arrest of Baez, which he granted on the
complaint of Mr. Hatch, without allowing
the parties to enter into the merits of the
case. “'0 can only infer from this that it
was done 0n the presumption that he had
no jurisdiction as he simply vacatcs the
order without assigning any reason therefor,
It would certainly be regarded as a very
strange proceeding on the part of almost
any other judge, to issue an order Of arrest
with $25,000 bail for so distingutshed a
foreigner as ex-President Baez; putting him
to the alternative of finding bail, going to
jail, or Of submitting to the rapacity of a
sheriff for the indulgence of leaving him
out ofjail by sleeping with him and accom-
panying him in his every move, and then
" vacate the order without knowing anything
more than what he ought to have khown
before granting it. And if he had no juris~
diction in the case, we do not see the justice
or propriety of condemning Baez in the
costs of the proceedings. We are glad to
hear that this order of Judge Pratt is not to
be the end of this renowned case, but,
that it will be carried before a full bench
where it will in all probability, be discussed
on its merits.
The village of Wallingford was much ex-
cited on Saturday last by the exploit of a
crazy Swede, named John B. Anderson. He
went into a wheel factory there, with a re-
volver in each hand, and commenced an in'
discriminate attack upon the inmates,wound-
ing two men, one it is thought fatally; he
then shot himself and cut his throat with a
jack knife. He belonged in New Haven.
and at last accounts was still alive.
At the meeting of the South Norwalk
City Council, last week Monday evening, a
bill of $75 was presented “ for refreshments
furnished the Norwalk Fire Department" at
the late fire. Probably other bills of the
same nature will be offered by other saloon
keepers, as is often done in such cases.
Now possibly this bill may be correct in one
respect—the saloon keepers may have furn-
ished refreshments to that amount, but cer-
tainly not to the Norwalk Fire Department.
There were not, probably, more than fifty
members of the department present, and, al-
though refreshments wcre generally and
freely tendered them, no one believes that
they indulged to the extent of one dollar
and a half, on the average, per man—es-
pecially at one saloon. The firemen of Nor-
walk claim to be a respectable and temper-
ate set of men, and are indignant that after
having cheerfully responded to the call of
those in danger and distresa, without
thought Of reward, they should be charged
with such extravagant indulgences. No,
gentlemen, liquor was freely indulged in
that morning, but all of it ought not to be
charged to the firemen.

ture, “ Drifting About,” on Thursday even-
ing last, at Lockwood's Hall. The lecture
occupied fully an hour and a halt in deliv-
ery, and was descriptive of life and scenes
in strange lands: The brief time allotted for
the lecture was insufficient for the lecturer
to do full justice to the great variety of sub-
jects suggested, but he passed from one to
another, giving brief descriptions of a gen-
eral character, and introduced scenes which
created much amusement and laughter.
His sketches of passengers at sea and
life on ship-board were especially good,
and excited much merriment. As the
Lecturer is now a resident here, and
had personal acquaintances in the audi-
ence, they would, perhaps,have been better
pleased, under the circumstances, to have
had the lecture composed of details of his
personal adventures and experiences, rather
than matter Of a general character. The
lecturer speaks the English language with
great fluency, with but a slight foreign
accent, and seemed to have no difficulty in
holding the attention and interest of his
audience.

Sons of Temperance.
Concord Division held its thirtieth anni-
versary exercises on Friday evening last.
The meeting Open only to members of the
order, opened with about seventy members
present. Bro. W. H. Benedict led in
prayer.
The G. 'W. P. of Connecticut was present
at the opening. Early in the evening the
G. W. P. of Eastern New York, with the
W. P. and P. W. P. of Liberty Division,
New York city, were announced as in wait-
ing and were received with a warm welcome.
The usual order of business, including an
initiation of three new members, was gone
through with and the meeting‘ then came
under direction of the committee of arrange-
ments.
The programme including singing, ad-
dresses, rccitations, and refreshments. Prof.
Merriam was in charge of the singing and
during the evening favored the meeting
with a number Of'songs. One of them he
sang in the old Washingtonian days.
The addresses were from G. W. P. Rev.
J. G. Davenport, of Bridgeport, Bros,
Robert Ella and Hezekiah Raymond of
Concord, and G. W. P. Parsons. of New
York, and Bros. Turner and Wright of
Liberty Division.
These short speeches were all ofthcm
earnest, eloquent addresses and were re-
ceived with great applause by the division.
The rccitations were well delivered, par-'
ticularly “King David’s lament over Abso-
lem,” by the G. C. sister Kellogg.
The extension table, placed at the head
of the hall was loaded down with‘ cake,
oranges and candy. At the proper time
these refreshments, together with lemonade,
were passed around. All present were
liberally supplied and then much was left
if) he sent to the absent ones.
Frank Mead now took charge and dished
out Ice cream till all cried enough.
Fred Scllcck a former member of the

hlfifi't’dinecticut Lady sees in j
Washington.
WASHINGTON, March this, 1874.
MassnsEmrons :—
Among the most curi-
ous people about this curious City, are the
“women” claimants.~ Day after day, and
year after year, you will notice with unlir-
ing regularity, the same set of female faces
about the Reception RoOms and corridors of
the Capitol. All sorts and conditions of
women, seem to congregate here, from the
petite andjelegant Myra Clark Gaines, to the
poor old crazy woman, who for long, weary
years, has walked the cold, tiled floors of
the Capitol, with her Revolutionary Claim,
all made ofit with unanswcrable clearncss to
her disordered mind, in the large bundle of
legal cap papers she always carries. Here
is the pale, sad faced widow, with soiled,
sable garments, holding her little son by the
hand and seeking for him a page‘s place.
Then there is the woman whose property
was destroyed over in Virginia during the
war. Then comes the soldier‘s widow who
is ruled out of the Pcnsxon office because
she can’t prove her husband to have died
from disease contracted while in the dis-
charge of his military duty. Next is a
showy, long trailed, half matron, half maid,
looking lady, who wants pay for her hus-
band’s cotton, burned by Sherman in his
‘7‘ March to the sea," and iu consquensc Of
which, she has been reduced from untold af-
fluence to sponging her board from some
poor landlady, while she is detained here,
. and borrowing all her pin money from her
“member.” A complete list by name, of
these and similar lady claimants here, every
Congress, would just fill your paper full.
Many are really meritorious and deserving
cases, and the legislation is sought for by
most exemplary women. Nevertheless,
there is a good deal of woman’s wit many
times involved in adding the attractions of a
' pretty face and all the little winsome female
arts to the other merits of a claim. Experi-
enced Claim Attorneys have found nothing
more potent in getting through such cases
than to have a destitute “widow” or or,
phan “ daughter," as a central figure tO en-
act interest and sympathy. And after all,
this reveals a commendable trait in those
who will insist upon making all the laws for
our disfranchised sex. But of all the incor-
rigible and persistent bores, as it seems to
me, are the squads of“ Society” ladies,who,
presuming upOn the slightest personal ac-
quaintance with a Senator or member, or
fortified with a note of introduction, keep up
a-daily skirmish assault on Senate and
House and have the door-keepers and pages
on a constant run to the.seats of Members
with their cards, while they await the invi-
ted interview at the door. I have often
felt there were compensations for our worst
ills, as I have seen this “ card" fusilade dc-
livered over till: Senate by dashing pages,
and I have about half envied Senators Mor-
ton, Ferry and Brownlow, whose “disabili-
ties" justly excuse theii“ running out every
time such amissive is received. I may be
wrong, but this calling out of members by
ladies on every sort of pretext and for no
reason other than idle gossip, seems to me,
as greatly lowering to onc’s dignity and
true womanly modesty, and I can’t see how
one who is not less than a lady can‘ find
courage to do it. It is plain to see, however,
that there are plenty of Congressmen who
are not at all annoyed by such attentions.
Indeed, the most casual Observer cannot fail
to see that it is particularly pleasing to some
of them, to have a chatty flirtation with
these gay butterflies of Washington society.
SO here, as in Eden, the woman and the man
are, about equally culpable. But there are
many members in both Houses, who are
very restive under these infiictions. When
such feel compelled to yield a civil compli-
ance to a ladies card asking an interview, I
notice they escape back to their seats, with
an air Of great impatience and rclief,—just
as soon as possible. I shall never forget the
despairing, beseeching, look I saw one day
on the face of Senator Hamlin, while trying
to wring himself from the toils of one of
these pretty, gossiping visitors, who seemed
to hold him in her relentless grasp, as much
as to say “ escape if you can.” That look
on the solemn brow of the cx-Vice Presi-
dent, seemed to say to all around—“do
come and take this woman away from me i
-—I will resign my place, power, everything,
and gladly go home to Maine,_ if you will
only rescue me i" This prevailing-weak-
ness Of our Washington ladies, comes, I
think, of their vanity and desire for public
observation rather than from any evil inten-
tion. It may be, and doubtless is, the natu-
ral outgrowth of our peculiar and unre-
strained social life.
Of late, there has grown up here, a new,
honorable and highly remunerative service
for ladies in newspaper work. In the House
and in the Senatc,lady correspondents are to
be daily seen, diligently and attentively at
their rcportorial duty. .Many of the ladies
have won national reputations for them-
selves, by their lettcrs from the Capital.
Mrs. Mary Clemmer Amcs, of the New York
Independent and Brooklyn Argus; Mrs. Lip-
pincott (Grace Greenwood), of the New
York Times; Mrs. Crowley (Jenny J unc),
now with her husband on the New York
Graphic, are perhaps the most noted of our
female writers. Then there are Mrs. Bar-
nard, of the Washington Bureau of Corres-
pondence; Mrs, E. S. Coggswell, of the
North Carolinian; Mrs. Mary Fuller, of the
St. Louis Times; Mrs. F. C. Snead of Louis-
ville Courier-Journal; Miss Austinc Snead,
Of the New York Graphic; scores of itiner-
ant lady correspondents in the departments,
who write occasions] and acceptable letters
tO their home journals, with and without
specific compensation. The highest salary
received by any lady, is probably that of
Mrs. Ames, who received $5,000 per annum,
for one daily letter to Mr. Bowen’s Brooklyn
Union and a weekly letter to the Independent.
Grace Greenwood is reported to receive $20
per letter from the New York Times. Mrs.
Crowley readily commands $25 per letter,
and as she “ manifolds,” as it is called,—that
is, she has copies made and sent simultane-
ously to several newspapers,—her income
is quite large. Twenty-five, forty and even
fifty dollars per week is earned by some
ladies who devote themselves exclusively to
'newspaper work. Besides these lady cor-
respondents, there are about one hundred
and fifty resident male Editors and Corres-
pondents of distant papers on the Congress-
ional Records alone. These comprise many
of the ablest and sharpest newspaper wri-
ters of the day, as well as some very shal-
low scribblers. They receive as compensa-
tion all the way from $125 to $5 per week
for their work. The largest remuneration I
have heard of, was that paid by Mr. Greeley
to General, now Senator Schurz. At the
close of the war, as you may remember, this
able man was attached to the Washington
ofiicc of the Tribune, while.your “ Senior"
was in charge. He wrote Iribtme Washing-
ton letters for thirteen weeks, and was paid
seven thowmnd five hundred dollars therefor-:1
It is said the New York Herald’s Washing-
ton oflice is run at an expense of $100 per
day; the Tribum‘s$75; the Times’ $25 ; the
World’s $100 per week; the Sun, Evening
Post, Journal of Commerce about $50 per
week; the Boston Journal pays Major Ben.
Perlcy Poore $3,000 per annum. TheChief
of the Herald Bureau receives $100 per
week, it is said, and Mr. White, of the Tri-
bune, 375; Mr. Adams of the World, and
Mr. Crounse of the Times, each $50 per
week. Mr. D. W. Bartlett, by his service
on eastern and western papers, at the same
time, is said to have earned ten thousand
dollars in a year. Don Piatt and George
Alfred Townsend are said to realize from
eight to ten thousand a year from heir
newspaper work. Few are aware o the
enormous sums expended by our leading
papers in securing reportor'al talent here at
the Capital. And you ..- se-‘the visions of
gold fields—in the .if. “.‘ch have, in-
spired my yon-v . ~ .hese crude
lettersl The #92512 and .3? a employed by
these neWspapeg3.peOple to get;s,“items” in .
advance of each other, are .iwonderfully
for anything. ,
Our new Chief Justice must be a very
tough man. What with banquets, dinners
and junkclings incessantly, they bave'bcen
unable to kill him, and Wednesday he was
sworn into office, put on his silk gown and
looked just as wise an “old fogy,” as any of
the rest of those solemn and sleepy judges.
Mrs. Gaines is training after Caleb Cush-
ing’s scalp again! First, she sues out a
writ against him for slander, in the District
Court, but learning he 'was fixing to escape
from her, by escaping to Spain, what do
you think she did? Nobody but a thor-
oughly indignant woman could ever have
thoughtof it. She went before the Judi-
ciary Committee of Congress and told such
Durell of New Orleans, that the Committee
say Caleb must come and clear it up. As
the Committee have the power to send for
persons and papers, the spirited little lady
makes sure she may look upon the icy-cold
face ofher victim, here, again, once more.
It is said Mr. C. is at the Astor House im-
plonng the Committee by telegraph, to be,
permitted to go in peace to the land where
only “Bull fights," are a national pastime.
Poor Caleb—won’t he hate us women worse
than ever? ‘
The bronze statute of George Clinton, the
contribution of New York, was unvailcd in
the old Hall of Representatives day before
yesterday. It stands opposite our Connecti-
cut marbles of Trumbull and Sherman.
The bronze is very much admired as a fine
piece of artistic work, but either it stands in
an unfavorable light, or else the surround-
ing marble statues, detract. from it all sense
of impressieeness and imposing beauty.
The Vescelius Sisters,—-three young
Chicago girls, of very melodious voices,—
ssng again at the Congregational church
last night to a crowded and delighted
audience. How I wish you could have
them in Norwalk. The Hutchinson: gave
another concert last night. Mrs. Lippincott
(Grace Greenwood) and Madam Le Vert, a
Southern lady of decayed fortune, but un-
conquered spirit, lectured last night. Sun-
day evening we had the Boston Quakcress
to preach for us. She is young, eloquent
and pretty, and professes to speak only as
moved by spiritual inspiration. Next week,
we are to have a course on Astronomy by
Prof. Proctor Of the Royal Astronomical
Society of England, and a series of concerts
by Theodore Thomas’ Opera Troupe. So
you see, we shall not entirely rust out if we
are in the midst of Lent.

Judge Granger-9s Decision in the ease
ot Stuart vs. National Bank of Nor-

CANAAN, Aug. 19th, 1873.
H. T. BLAKE, ESQ,
. Dear Sim—I send you
by mail to-duy the papers in Stuart vs.
Norwalk Bank. I have endorsed .upon the
file: “ Demurrer overruled and damages as-
sessed at one dollar. Judgment for plain-
tiff to recover one dollar and legal costs.”
You may inform the parties that the facts
in this case are found substantially in ac-
cordance with the claims of the defendants.
_ After a very careful consideration of the
evidence in the case, I am clearly satisfied
that no negligence or want of care can be
imputed to the- defendants. They were
'bailers without reward ; took the so care
of the plaintiff’s goods that they id of
their own; were guilty of no fraud;the
goods,—i. e., the‘bonds Of the defendant,—
without the fault of the defendants, and the
fact is clear from the evidence that the de-
fendants took reasonable and proper care of
the property, and were guilty of no negli-
gence. Yours truly,
M. T. GRANGER.

New Book and Ladder Truck.
The Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company
have for some time past contemplated the
disposal of their truck and the obtaining of
a new one. On Friday evening last they
brought the matter up before the Court of
Burgesscs, when the purchase of a new
truck was decided upon. The Company
agreedto take the present truck and pay the
sum of five hundred dollars towards the cost
of the new, the Borough paying the balance
—-about $350, we understand. The old
truck is to remain here until the arrival of
the new. Messrs. Hands and Aiken, on the
part of the Borough, and A. J. Meeker and
Frank Leonard, on the part of the Company
compose theaom 'ttec to purchase the new
truck, which is to c of the latest improved
pattern,carrying Babcock’s Extinguishers
in addition to the usual ladders, hooks, dzc.
The present truck has been sold to parties
in Westport for $250,12aving a like amount
to be raised by the Company. The commit-
tee, we understand, went to N cw York, yes-
terday to purchase the new truck, and hope
to receive it the present week.
