Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, April 18th, 1874.
DEAR G.IznTTn:——Ou Tuesday last the
House passed the Currency Bill, and the
chuckle that went round only the week be-
fore at what was deemed Butler’s defeat in
his effort to pass the Senate’s Four lluu-
'dred Million Bill, was turned to chagrin,
for the House hurriedly swallowed the Son-
ate measure without amendment or grimace.
A tremendous pressure has been brought to
bear upon the President. to induce him to
veto it. A delegation from Boston waited
upon him, and in the way peculiar to solid
men of the “Hub,” they gave him their ad-
vice with very little reserve. Yesterday a
similar Committee of the representative
millionaires of New York, called at the
White House and orated to him with a pro-
foundity which would be deemed surpris-
ing, were it not known that the dry goods
politician and chronic debater, Chittcnden,
was of the number. The President bore
their oratorical infliction to its ehd, when he
adopted a little oer. Lincoln’s strategy,
and in telling his story did not fail to im-
press this committee that he deemed their
lecture an impcrtinencc, and that hc'should
do his duty as he understood it, without
fear or favor. Those who know the natural
bent of the Presidential disposition, assert
that when his obstinacy bump gets under
exercise he can be depended upon to stick as
firmly as the darkey’smulc when he set
back in the breechin. One of the best anec-
dotes of Mr. Lincoln is connected with a.
visit made him the evening of his second
inauguration by several senatorial friends,
among whom was a favorite statesman of
Connecticut. It was soon descriedby that
sagacious man, that the object of the visit
was to discuss the unfortunate circumstance
of the Vice-President’s intoxication during
the inaugural exercises. Sympathy was
freely expressed at the mortification be
(Mr. Lincoln) must have felt at the disagree-
able occurrence. Bearing this strain of
talk till it became unendurable to him, he
broke out with his inevitable “little story.”
“Well, gentlemen," said he, “you remind
me of what happened to a nice little clerk
out in my country. He had conceived a
liking to a neighbor’s daughter, and the
daughter liked it well enough, but her fath-
cr forbid him the house. Nevertheless, the
young people, being so fond of each other,
would frequently be found together. Ven-
turing home with his girl and being per-
suaded to enter the house, the old man
caught him,dragged him to the door, and
then vigorously kicked him out into the
street. His young‘ friends, hearing how
outrageously he had been abused, assembled
at his store early next morning and began
to express their pity. He bore it likea
’l‘rojan,but‘ his feelings overcoming him,
he burst into tears and sobbed out,‘Boys, if
you feel as I do about that transaction,
you’ll stop talking to me about it.”’ It
was one Of Mr. Lincoln's dead shots, and
no more was said about his Vice-President’s
inebriety that night. So with Gen. Grant,
in his reply to the New York committee,
which came on to lobby him;he said his
own personal views were for contraction
and resumption, but he had been importuned
by just such a committee" from Boston, and
the only impression their arguments Were
calculated to have on his mind was to set
him just the other way. Nor was this the
worst of the New York committee’s vex-a-
tion. On going into the White House they
met Gen. Butler coming out! This neces-
sarily excited their suspicious comments.
But he was leaving the place, and that was
some relief. But what was their conster-
nation, however, upon being ushered into
the executive chamber, to find,sitting quiet-
ly by. the veritable bloody-bones from
Massachusetts, flanked by Morgan, Logan,
and Ferry, of Michigan ! The “committee,”
it is said, went home to-day, drubbing their
brains with the conundrum, how in the
world old Ben Butler got past them and up
stairs and into the presence of the Presi-
dent ahead of them, when they passed him
outside going the other way? Up to this
writing the enigma has not been solved.
It is claimed by Comptroller Knox, that
the Senate~bill will effect contraction rather
than expansion. If this prove to be the
practical result of the bill, it may be depend-
ed upon that some amendment or other will
be carried. The South and West are united
without reference »to party distinctions and
they control a decided majority in both
Houses, and having set out for more green
backs. will never adjourn until such meas-
ures‘are enacted as will set the printing
presses to work again on this issue. The
most the friends of resumption can hope for
is to attach some sort of a free-banking, low-
intcrest bond, into which the greenbacks
may be made interehangablefio that if you
can’t get actual money for the government’s
paper promises to .pay, you can get a gold
interest bearing bond therefor.
The Senatorial. contest in Massachusetts
was suddenly terminated last evening in a
pleasant surprise. The election of Gov.
Wm. B. Washburn, while deemed substan-
tially a defeat of the Hour men, if not strict-
ly a triumph of the Dawes element, is nev-
ertheless a most agreeable termination of
the long and anxious struggle. Mr. VVash—
burn is a resident of Greenfield,mnd left his
seat in Congress to take the gubernatorial
chair three years since. He'is. -' olid, clear-
hcaded man, and will do nfiiscredit to
himself, his State or the memory of him
whose death makes the vacancy he is called
to fill. He is a graduate of Yale and was a
classmate and has been a life-long friend
and admirer Of our own Senator Ferry.
Would that we could hope for as favorable
result In the coming contest in Connecticut.
Hons. Truman Smith and M. F. Merritt,
of Stamford, Hon. John Boyd, of Winches-
ter, and Hon. A. II. Tenny, Norwich, are
here. Arthur H. Bissell, of Winona, Min-
nesota, has also been here the past week.
Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Case stopped over'a day
on their return from Texas and the West to
Nor-walk. They called on General Sherman
and Gen. Babcock at the White House, du-
ring their bricf visit.
\Ve are promised a quick train over to
New York. It is to b; hoped that some-
thing less than eleven hours may be Consum.
ed in running these about two hundred and
a qucrter miles, and that our letters mailed
here :at night, may occasionally gain the 8
O’clock a. m. mail expressjout of New York,
over the New Haven and Boston road. B.
The great Senatorial contest in Massachu-
setts was closed on Friday last, in an an:
looked for manner, by the election of Gov-
ernorWashburn. The election is for the
unexpired term Of Charles Sumner,—about
One year.
We would suggest to our Superintendent
of Highways that now is the time to set his
District Surveyors at work on the public
roads; I they can in the next two weeks put
the roads in fair condition, and some of
them need repairs very badlv. He ought to
see to it now before the teams and men get
engaged in their spring plowing and plant-
ing, for if put off till then the repairs of the
roads will drag along indefinitely to great
public detriment;

l
A Flam-gut Outrage.
A glaring and shameful outrage of public
moralsand sentiment was perpetrated at
Orr-Ridge, Darien, on Monday afternoon,
the 13th inst. _ -
According to the best information we can
obtain, there being no' reporters allowed on
the ground, it was nothing more 'norless
than a Pnrzn FIGHT. It is true that there
was no money at stake, but.the affair was
duly arranged for, (report says. writings
were drawn and signed, naming time,
place, and number of friends each should
be allowed,) and carried out according to
the rules and regulations Of the Ring, as
generally understood, and was a most
shame faced and bold affront to this law
abiding community. The authorities Of
Darien owe to themselves and the good
name of their town to fully investigate‘and
punish to the full extent of the law, all who
were concerned in it. In fact, it is a matter
of general surprise that after such vigilant
and prompt action as was taken by the au-
thorities of the eastern part of the State on
several different attempts there made by
New York roughs to violate our laws anti
disgrace our soil, it has been a source of
wonderment why the parties in this afi'uir,
who are well known, have not been arrest-
ed and called to account by the Darien att-
thorities. .
The principals in this pugilistic affair
were A. D. Brush,a practicing lawyer, who
has an Ofiice here in Norwalk, and William
Mott, both residents .ot Darieu. There
seems to have been an old grudge between
the parties, which culminated on Saturday
week, when they met in Darien,and it is
reported would have fought then and there
in the church-yard but for the inability of
one Of them to obtain a satisfactory second
or backer. It wasthcn openly talked up
and arrangements ltvere made to meet at
Noroton. on Monday afternoon, and have it
out. The authorities procured the services
of Deputy-sheriff Newman, of Greenwich,
who, accompanied by Constables Watcr~
bury and Waddel,proceeded to-Noroton,
prepared to nip the afi‘air in the bud, but
they were misled, for although Mott ap-
peared there, Brush did not. While the
oficers were kept waiting there, Mott got
off, and the mill finally took place in a
piece of woods'on Ox-Rizlge, belonging to
Mr. Wm. Andrus.
The party consisted of about a dozen
persons, Brush being accompanied by seven
rien. After the ground was reached, but a
short time was spent in preliminaries, the
principals scou taking the ground and pro-
ceeding to work. The first few rounds
were emy‘oyed in preliminary skirmishing,
then Brush got in a full, fair blow with his
right fist on Mott’s nose, starting‘ the blood
freely and making him somewhat wild, and
dislocating one of Brush’s knuckles; Brush
afterwards dislocated two more knuekles
by another blow, after which his fighting
was done with his left hand. There was
some scufiIing and wrestling, but while
Brush escaped injury, his adversary, Mott,
got repeatedly punished, and, finally, after
thirty-five rounds, which occupied about
one and a half hours’ time. they were in-
tluccd to shake hands, call the affair over,
the old grudge settled and nothing to be
said about it by either party. Then they
proceeded to wash up in a small circular
pond near by, and after their handkerchiefs
shirts, &c.,had been washed, we are assured
that the pond looked for all the world like
a puddle around a slaughter house. The
party then dispersed in different directions,
one portion of them meeting the officers,
who had again got on their track, just as
they got out on the highway. The officers,
not seeing any marks on Brush, and so,
thinking that the fight had not taken place,
did not arrest them, but let them proceed.
Brush does not show any injury, but
Mott is reported to have been severely pun-
ished,—in fact it was rumored on Saturday
that he was dangerously ill from the effects
of the beating received, but we do not
credit that report.
Now the previous standing of the parties
interested in this disgraceful affair, makes
this OI" more than usualprominence and
weatrge upon the authorities a full, fuirand
impartial investigation and a..prompt and
sure punishment. One of the parties is not
only a lawyer but a Justice of the Peace, It
is therefore more glaring and insulting to
the public than if confined to ordinary
sporting tnen and should therefore be
stcrnly dealt with, for a sworn administra-
tor and expounder of the law should not be
excused for wantonly trampling on and
violating our statutes.
The Bar of this county should also take
action upon it, and show to the community
that they do not uphold any member in
thus grossly violating all rules of good
government by a resource to brute force to
settle personal quarrels.
Larsen—Learning that warrants were
out for the four leading participants, the two
principals, :with their seconds, yesterday
presented themselves before J ustice Ira Sco-
field, in Darien, plead guilty, and paid the
fine and costs imposed, amounting to about
twelve dollars each. Thus was the majesty of
law vindicated, and the soiled ermine of
justice cleansed by the payment of the enor:
mous sum of forty-eight dollars. Now for
the action of the Fairfield County Bar.

LE’I‘TEBS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mussns. EDITORS :-Is it right that- the
owners on the north side of Beatty street
should shove the highway over on the south
side, from two to four feet, even though the
owners on the south side make no objec-
tions? Will not the result be that the Bor-
ough will have only a forty-five toot street,
instead of forty-nine, as the map calls for ?
VIGILANT.
We know nothing about the matter, but
have confidence.in the Court of Burgesses,
and believe that they will “straighten” mat-
ters fairly and probably satisfactorily to all.

DANBUBY AND NORWALK RAInnOAD.
DANBUBY, Coma, April 15th,
EDITORS GAZETTE :—
In regard to rates of
passage between Norwalk and South Nor-
walk, referredtoin your last issue, I would
say, that for many years past the price of
tickets has ‘been 10 cents with the ‘usual
extra charge of 5 cents to passengers who-
prefer to pay on the cars. This extra
charge has not however been generally
enforced till since Feb. lst, but we found so
few bought tickets, that it was very difficult
for our conductors to get through the trains
and make change, during the few minutes
occupied by the passage; rendering it neces-
sary either to run very slowly, to the great
annoyance of passengers, or,run the risk of
losing moreor less fares. 0n the lst “of
February, we cOmmenced selliug’tickets ’20‘
for $1, good on horse or steam cars. I
think it has proved quite a convenience to
the public though we do not realize as
much revenue from it‘ as under former
prices. V e are glad however to make a
co‘nsidera e discount to parties who pro-
cure tickets, which it is very little trouble
for them to do, and it is done very cheer-
fully by a large majority of our passengers.
If the distance was greater between
South Norwalk, and Norwalk, or between
Norwalk and Winnipauk, we would be
willing to spend the time on the trains
making change and not enforce the set
rules. Yours, &c. » » 3
JOHN W. BACON, SUPT.
W We. cheerfully give place to the above,
but we still think the. action referred to
wrong. If our own people, who are sup-
posed to know the circumstances, were the
only ones to suffer for neglect in purchasing
tickets, the charge might be sustained, but
strangers generally are forced to pry the
excessive chargefiand have a right to com-
plain. The‘p'rice of tickets between Nor-
walk Bridge and South Norwalk, and Nor-
walk Bridge and Winnipauk ought not to
be more that six cents, and if tickets are
not bought. no more thag ten cents should
be collected as fare between those points.
People ought to be encouraged to ride on
the Road, rather than driven off to other
modes Of conveyance.
Another European Steamer has been lost.
The French Steamer Amerique, which
sailed from New York for Havre on the
4th Of April, with about 230 souls on board,
foundered off the coast of Brittany, on the
14th, during a storm. Passengers and crew
were all fortunately saved by other vessels,
with the exception of the second mate who
was a survivor of the Ville du Havre. If
this thing continues the tour of Europe
will soon cease to befashionable.
P. S. The Ameriquc did not founder but
was abandoned; she was afterwards fallen
in with by an English Steamer and towed
into Plymouth in good condition.
Stephens 85 (10., Riverton Conn. send us
a specimen Toy Pistol, designed to explode
and .project common parlor matches. It
can also be used as a fire cracker pistol;
The pistol itself is harmless, but parlor
matches are danye'rous, and their use ought
to be forbidden by law. Boys, certainly
ought not to be entrusted with them.

What a...Cnnnecticut lady seesin
Washington.
. : WAsnIxoron,April1701,1874
MasBIuEDI-rons :— '
- We have had a new
Gospel of the “Woman Question" preached...
unto us, before Ivhich pales all the senti-
ment of Susan B. Anthony’s criminal prose-
cutiOn for attempted voting, and all the ro-
mance of Abbey smith’s resistance to tyr-
anny in protesting taxation without repre-
sentation; anti the sale of her cows and
robbery of her matutinal rations of butter
and cream. Mrs. Brigham Young, XIX,
lectured to Us at Lincoln- Hall, last evening
and the evening before, on the crimes of the
Mormon Church and the revolting disgusts
of Polygamy. She certainly created a pro-
found impression by her demeanor and state-
ments. What Mrs. Stowe was to the lie-
struction of slavery, and its degredntion and
soul-ruin of its woman chattel, so may
the wronged woman prove to her now en-
thralled sisters bound soul and body in
worse than the most heathenish slavery.
She was accompanied to the platform by
Gen. Shanks, of the House, who introduced
her in a very becoming manner. In her
audience were many Congressmen and
large numbers of ladies. She is rather above
the medium height,well formed and fair,
though not at all pretty. Nevertheless, she
is very lady-like and modest in manner and
appearance. She reads with considerable
animation, and her lecture being well mem-
orized, she kept her eyes fixed upon the au-
dience during the greater part of the time.
She began by saying that she had been told
that many people came tO'hear her through
curiosity, but she thought there. was noth-
ing curious in the fact that in the nineteenth
century she was the nineteenth wife of an
American citizen, while George Q. Cannon
was the husband of four wives and was al-
lowed to take a seat in Congress as a dele-
gate from Utah. What, to many, was a
source of amusement, was death to the .vic-
tims of polygamy in Utah. The lecturer
said she had been born and raised in the
Mol'mon church. She was familiar with all
its ceremonies. Gentile was applied to all
persons not liortnons, and those who
abandoned the faith were called Apostates.
After giving the, names, of the various
houses used for the celebration of certain
rites, and speaking of the “Endowment
House" in particular, she said that this was
the place where secret-rites are performed.
“My father,” she continued, “was born in
New York, and became a Mormon at the
age of twenty-three. My mother was also
a Mormon, having'been converted by Jo-
seph Smith. -They had five children, three
boys and two girls. I was the youngest,
and was born on the 13th of September,
1844. When I was one year old my father,
then living at Nanvoo, married his second
wife and took her to Our Home. ‘ My mother
bore everything for her feligion’s sake,
though I knew it was repugnant to her, al-
though in the early days ofl’tbe Church the
enormities were not so noticeable as they
are now. In 1848 we emigrated to Salt
Lake City, and when eight years old I was
baptized, a rd again when sixteen years old,
preparatory to receiving the rites of endow-
ment. This ceremony is like to a drama,
being made up of scenes and representatives
of persons mentioned in the Scriptures.
Jesus, Michael, and other heavenlypersono
ages. Th ~ person is annotated with oil and
given a m w name, by which. they will be
known in heaven, but which they will for-
get should they forsake Mormonism. I for-
sook it,but I never forgot the name then
given to me. It was Sarah. Horrible oaths
are administered, and the one receiving the
rite swears hostility to the United States,
and swears to avenge the death of Joseph
Smith. The dress and adornments are like
those worn on the comic stage." She then
gave a- history of her call by Brigham to
appear as an actress at his theatre, where
she said she labOred for two years, like all
the others, for nothing, having 'tO find her
own wardrobe. She said: “I was present
at a'meeting. During the session I noticed
that Brigham never took his eyes off me.
At the close of the meeting he came to me
and spoke kindly, and asked to see me
home. I felt honored, aIid acquiesced to
his desire. On the way he asked if I had
any offers of marriage. Telling him that I
had not, he said, ‘Well, don’t you marry,
but take my advice and get some good
brother who can give you good advice.’ I
got a good brother,—it was himself,—-and
the advice I got from him was to be eco-
nomical.” Then relating how Brigham, on
their reaching home, conversed with her
father, and the ,pnxiety they all had to
know what he was about, she described the
feeling she had on learning that he Wished
to marry her. She was dumbfounded-—
alarmed. Her parents favored the'marriage
as did also her eldest brother, who feared
that Brigham, if displeased, would cut him
'off from the church, which, she said, “often
meant below the ears. The fear of Brig
ham and a desire to comply with the wishes
of Thy parents, led me,” she said; “to the
sacrifice.” April 7th, 1868, she-was secretly
married to Brigham in the Sealing room.
“Kimball did the sealing,” she said, “and l
was made a queen.” Brigham, for a week
after the marriage, did .not see her. At the
close of the'week he conducted her to a~
house, the furniture of which‘and the stock-
cry weretaken from a bakery that he had
sold. All the wives, except the favorite,
have to provide for themselves. If one
should object she is reprimanded, if not
made to suffer a more severe punishment.
Brigham dresses well, and tells them who
speak to him'ofait, “That-he does it to please
his wives ” ' .
“It was not long," she salt, “before I
found I hated him. I saw 1 was'neglected,
insulted, humiliated. I was neglected, and
tied to an old man. Others were cared for,
and it was mere than ‘awoman’snaturc
could standlo see them pelted. His con-
duct showed me the falsity of the religion.
I felt that 1 was living a lie, and my soul
wasstrugglingfor ligltt. At times it seem?
ed to me as‘if there y'as' no God. I feared
that I was losing my mind. Many-times I
was on the point of committing suicide."
After getting away from Brigham she went
to a. Gentile Hotel, where the preachers
sought her, saying: “Do you enjoy the
spirit of your religion ?” “I do not.” “Ah,”
said they, “return, and an angel will whis-
per in Brigham‘s ear, and you may become
his favoritewife." “Well,Idon’t want the
angel to do any such thing. And these
fellows," she said, “left me.” ' ,
The lecturer then continued: “I hope I
may be pardoned, for digressing a little on
this occasion and dwelling briefly upon the
Congressional delegate from Utah. Iam
told that Mr. Cannon asserts that the wo-
men of that place are impartially provided
for. Iknow tothecontrary. For instance,
his own family, his second wife, Sarah Jane
Jenny, while on a sick bed, having nothing
in the house to eat but bread and molasses,
begged of him for food, while his own table
was richly laden with all the delicacies of
the season. While this same man is here
in your niidst, this wife and the third, who
is my cousin,are living in destitution and
neglect. When testimony was being taken
during the contest for the. Congressional
seat,his wife, Sarah Jane Jenny,was sn-
pceuaied as a witness. She inquired o'f‘the
deputy marshal if George Q. Cannon did
really deny that she was his wife. On be-
ing told that he. did, she took her babes in
her arms and burst into tears, and said:
"l‘hen have my children no falhcr?’
Her conclusion was a description of Brig-
ham Young’s life and household. He is
seventy-three years of age, has nineteen
wives, fifteen of whom are wedded to him
for time and eternity, and four are widows
of the Prophet Joe Smith, to whom they
will revert in the next world. The children
by these are also accredited to Mt Smith.
He is a tyrant to his wives, and ,.s_neers at
their sorrow" " " slilerally heupecked by

.exclusive use, at an expense of $100,009,11nd
lives alone with her now, while the other
wives are compelled to reside apart from

these are really good women, and deem it a
great honor to wait on the Prophet. Ame-
lia regards them with disdain, anti is the
only one of the wives who sits at the same
table with young. But she is first in the
household, and he is second.
in telling the story of her life of bondage
she was not prompted by malice. Brigham
Young'claimcd that his religion was divine,
and more than one hundred thousand per—
sons had embraced this dclusivc faith. They
find advocates and sympathizers in and out
of Congress. With intense emotion she ex-
pressed her horror of the "entire system of
polygamy, and avowed her desire to make
known its infamy. She quoted a letter that
her own mother had written to her, asking
her in the most pathetic terms to return to
her home. She was deeply affected while
reading this letter, but said in conclusion,
“ Lhave ventured, and have at last won lib-
erty. Trusting in the guidance of that hand
that has led me thus‘r, I hope to be led in
the future into paths of usefulness and of
peace." ‘ -
Last evening, she again addressed a large
and deeply interested audience at the same
place. Her subject was the enormities of
polygamy as practiced by one hundred thou-
sand citizens of the United States! She said
it had it had been preached openly in this
country for twenty years, and originated
with a man of Puritan ancestry,and born in
the State of Vermont. Polygamy is, she
said, the most desolating andblighting curse
that ever came upon humanity. No matter
what is the number of wives, men are never
satisfied with what they have. “ Taking an-
other,” is .a common saying among these
men, and what is especially significant, the
coveted prize must be young and fair to look
upon. They can get another wife tort/tout ell:-
pensebutan animal, must be pat'dfcr! Indeed,
wives are usually spoken ofas “my women.”
A common expressionis “ heifers,” and He-
ber C. Kimball called his wives “ my cows.”
’He used this language in a‘sermon preached
in the Tabernacle. In conclusion, Mrs
Young said, “no one should think that the
wOmen there, were free to accept or reject.
it; for although their bodies are not fettered,
their souls are. I had encouragements to
break away from my faith and its connec~
tions, that very few have; nevertheless, the
step required great fortitude, and was taken
with many misgivings, but I shall never re-
gret having thus attained freedom of action
and conscience.”
These lectures have revived the questions
so unpleasantly associated with Delegate
Cannon’s holding his sat. Like slavery, this
“ twin relic of barberism” can’t stand the ef-
fulgence of the nineteenth century’s sun. It
is notorious that this heathen Mormon
Apostle was elected to Congress by the
votes of Mormon wives, cast under compul-
sion. ,
_When Mrs. Young in her first lecture rang
out, the words—“ Polygamy is sanctioned by
you in the national councils. While George
Q. Cannon, of Utah, :1 polygamists with
four wives, sits there, the peer of delegates
from the other Territories,- Congress is re-
sponsible for the system which makesa plu-
rality of wives possible in the Mormon
country,”—‘f it felt fine a shock of electrici-
ty and a conviction that it was literally
true, seemed to convict and~humble every
conscience. But thl Congress act? Ah,
“ there’s the rub.”
Yesterday, Congressman Kellogg of our
State, reported his bill for It thorough re-
form in the Treasury Department. It does
justice lo the lady clerks in that it leaves it
possible for them to rise to clerkships of the
higher grades, if competent to do so; in fact,
there will be no disability, for us hereafter,
on account of misfortune in not being born
of the male persuasion, provided we have
brains and accomplishments in an equal de-
gree, with the lords of creation.
The President has again commisioned the
widow of Gen. Mower, Postmistress at New
LOndon, and yesterday .the Senate confirmed
her. She has already served as Postmis-
tress at New London for four years, with
satisfaction to the public and department,
and with credit to herself and our "‘ disfran-
chised sex.”
Yesterday morning the ’ police at _the
White House, had to arrest a half-crasy mi-
ner from Arizona, who insisted upon seeing
the President. He said he was bound either
to have an office, or marry 'Miss Nelly, he
didn’t care much which, but the office, or
the hand of the daughter, he would have i
It is reported at the P. 0. Department that
a Mississippi postmistress has recently dis-
charged her husband from a clerkship, for
non-attendance to duty. “ Served him
right.” Jnsxv WREN.

The members and friends of Zion church,

ministers, in view Of the present pressing
meccssities of their pastor, purpose to give
him a donation benefit, pt the Town Hall,
on Wednesday evening, 22d inst. Mr. An~
ister Of Christ, and worthy the confidence
and support of a benevolent public. He
has a large family looking to him for sup-
port. It is well known that his church and
congregation are very-poor, which renders
it impossible for them to give their pastor
comfortable support. It is, therefore, hoped
that this appeal to the liberality Of the citi-
zens of Norwalk and vicinity, will not be
in vain. All donations of money, dry
goods, and groceries. will be thankfullv re-
ceived at the church on the afternoon and
evening of the 22d. Friends of Jesus, help
this faithful servant of God. *
