' It was alleged last autumn that the malaria
rising from E. II. Nash’s mill—pond had been
the cause of sickness among some of our citi-
zens; that the cases of fever and light, if any,
the diphtheria, if any, aldema pill/120mm, if
any, the throat complaints, the coughs, the
cases of general debility—in fact, many of the
ills which resident humanity was-heir to or
had heard of, were induced to come forth,
spread, and work their deleterious effects by
the water in this pond. Its surface having
congealed to the thickness of seven inches
this winter, men, inspired by benevolent in-
stincts (as well as desire to‘ get gain,) have
placed eight or nine hundred tons of said ice
in store, and will carefully conserve it against
arrival of hot weather, when it will be
dealt out: to customers-willing to cool their
parched tongues at fifty ccntspcr hundred
pounds. Question ? I‘Vill the water which is
to be cooled by andby by this fiendish frozen
compound have a tendency to cause those
using it to fall sick? If not, why not? If
this water in its normal condition poisoned
while evaporating under summer suns, why
may it not, while being reduced from ice to its
parent state have the same general effect?

hid been _but a few years a resident of

farmer for about half a century. He then
removed to \Vatcrbury, _Ct., where he {dwelt
many years, and at last came to this, place to
reside with his son, the. late \Villiam S.
Jones. . One day last week he went to 'Mid-

appeared as well as usual till l’londay morn-
ing, February 7th, when, while, in the act of
dressingassistedbyhis son, he' was seized
with what appeared to be apoplexy, and
died almost instantly. The remains were
brought here 'chncsday, and the funeral
took place at Christ church, \Vcdnesday

of Mrs. Charles H. Taylor, late organist of

the admirers of Centennials to attend this one?

IIonsn R.\Il.RO.\D.———At last there is pros-
pect that the hopes of a large, element in our
population will be realizedin the construc-
tion of astrect horse railway from West.-
port village to the railroad depot at Sang-.1.-
tuck. For years, or eva‘ since the comple—
tion of the N. Y; 65 N. Haven railroad in
18-19, the time occupied in passing to and
from the depot; by carriage, hack, or stage,
has served to discourage persons struck with
the beauty of our town and inclined to come
among us and settle. As a result many of
the's’e have gone where therejwerc railroad
such places as Norwalk,
Bridgeport, etc., which have increased in
numbers and wealth, and \Vestport, standing
still and gazing at. the strides of her neighbors,
has failed in attaining that growth and ad-
vancement which, by her natural advantgaes
her people had the right to expect. Several
well-known capitalists in town, deprecating
this state of things, and having long been
desirdus of effecting a change, have taken
this subject of a street railway in hand.
They have presented it to the property
holders on the proposed line and elsewhere,
and find much unanimity in favor of the
project. ,They are enthusiastic in the belief
that by the exercise of proper effort they
can secure co—operation enough to complete
the work and have it in operation before the
Fourth of July next. The people of Sang-
:ituck too have been consulted and .havc
manifested no unmeaning interest. It is pro-
posed to lay a track with necessary turnouts
from the deoot to the village, across the
bridge, to a. point near the village Hotel, the
(listaneebfi’i'g about 'one mile. and three-
(piarlers. 'i' :9 cost of the road fully equip—
pod and in running order, will not exceed
$15,000, and the receipts, it is believed will
pay good interest 011 the investment.
”Whether the road will be built; under the
general railroad law, or whether the legisla-
ture will be asked for a special charter, re—
mains to be seen. In any event the road will
be astock concern, with shares fixed proba-
bly at $50, so that, poor orrich. low or high
may have a. chance or the privilige of inves—
ting. ’ .

ing mild. Sunday’s magnificence is a proof
of their unreliability. So like Spring was it

Education in Connecticut.
From Ithc report of the commissioner of ed-
ucation, just. published, the“ following facts
are gathered concerning the standing of Con-
necticut in educational matters : '
According to the census of 1870, Connecti-
cut. was No. 36 in area, and in value of tax- - '
ble property the thirteenth, being second to
Massachusetts in New England. In popula-
lation Connecticut ranks-as twenty—fifth; in
number of scholars enrolled, twenty-third; in
average attendance of scholars, twenty-first;
average length of school in days, fifth.
There are in the state 71.1 male teachers and
2,246 female. Average wages per month—
inale $69, and $36 for female. Only Massa-
chusetts and Rhode lsland pay more per
month for male teachers, and for wages of fe-
male teachers Connecticut ranks ninth. Our
annual expenditure for 1610013 are $1,477,442
making this the thirteenth.
Expenditure per (malls of scholars enrolled
$11.60, which is the fourthin the rank. And
.thc appropriation of $1,200 to the Normal.
School was‘SG-f per head, which is fourth in
this respect.
Although we have but three universities and
colleges, and only four states reports a less
number, yet these three graduated in 1874,
855 students, making it the ninth. And our
school of science graduated 2-18, which ranks
this state the sixth. ' .
There are thirteen circulating libraries,
with more than 30,000 volumes, making Con-
necticut the sixth in this respect.
Its law, theological and medical schools
place it in, the front rank among its sister
states and its deaf and dumb asylums, reform
school and otherjnstitutions for unfortunates
show that it is not behind its sister states in
its endeavors to ameliorate the condition of
the afilicted and unfortunate.

Too EASY Mauritius—Recent events have
called public attention to the intimattfrela-
tions of morals and manners. It may be said
that there is no greater peril to morality than
much that is called merely free and easy inan-
ners. Young men, and even young women,
permit themselves a freedom and license of
manner which, having all the aspect. of lin-
propriety, may very readily acquire its sub-
stance. Edward achresses Emily with a. very
loud and jesting intimacy of tone and conduct,
which might be expected in the sailor saloons
on W'ater street or \Vapping, but which is re-
pulsive and odious in the drawing-room or
among refined and gentle persons. Edward
and Emily would ‘be amazed to be told that
they have not the manners of a gentleman or
of a lady, and have the air of the devil-mantle
"l‘hey think that they are especially comma. z'l
fault, and that above all others they know
what is the rule of hi h society. But they
are merely vulgar, an have the manners of
those who are worse than merely vulgar.
Coarseness cannot be gilded into refinement.
The young woman who habitually calls her
young friends of the other sex by their Christ-
ian names, or who suffers anything that can
be called familiarity, although it fall short of
actual indccorum, should reflect carefully.
,“Sir,” said a lady to a policeman who took
her elbow to pass her over the street, “if I
wish you to touch me I will ask you.” N o
woman of a high- sense of personal dignity
wishes any man to lay his hand upon her
thoughtlessly or unnecessarily. Nor will
such a woman permit any kind of rudeness in
the tone or manner of men.

Some thirty American. officers are in the Khe—

of them, is in actual command of troops.
The General is a Pasha, but knows how to
make Americans feel at home. Ile has

The barn connected with Larry Haly’s
public house at \Vallingford was burned on
Wednesday night; loss, £56,000, partially iii-
surcd. A negro in running to the fire tum-
bled into a well 36 feet deep, but was bailed
out. ' - '
A firein Meriden Sunday, destroyed the.
engine and boiler room and slightly (lamarred
the machinery in an adjoining shop at Parker
brothers gun works. , Loss between $6,000
and $10,000. 'Thc works are insured for
$182,001.
The Stratford Shoals light ship, which
slipped her cable on account of the danger to
which she was exposed in I‘Vednesday’s gale,
brought tip under the lee of Faulkner’s island.
The government steamer Cactus towed her-
back to her station.
'Wells’ woolen mills in New Milford, were
destroyed by fire, about nine o’clock, Thurs-
day evening, causing a loss .of about $8,000,
on which there was only $2,400 insurance.
The fire probably originated in the drying
room, in the attic,twhere there was a stove. '
A Meriden girl whose father recently died,
being displeased that her mother has fallen in
love with another man, applied to the mayor '
the other day to have the affair stopped by
the police, and when informed that they
could not do anything about it, left his office
crying. . ' - ‘
Myron E. Tattle, the superintendent at
Glyn warp mills at Stafford Springs, in mak-
ing repairs upon the elevator Friday, was
probably fatally injured by the fall of the
same, receiving the full force of the weight,
some 500 pounds, crushing him into the»
smallest possible space. . 7 ' . “
_ The sons and daughters of Massachusetts,
resident in \Vinsted and vicinity, to the mun-
bcr of abdut fifty, met at the Beardsley
House on Wednesday evening for their an-
nual re-union and dinner. There‘ivere
speechesand a general good time. " The soci-
ety intend to hold no re-union next year.
Tuesday was a lively day for the tobacco
Over $22,000 worth was
bought by Asaph Strong for M. II. Levin,
New York, to whom it has been shipped.
The cash was paid for it at the First Na-
tional Bank on the same day.
co was raised in Portland and Middletown,
mostly.
A Hartford man living on John street
walked ten miles, Tuesday night,.to Hayden’s
station, while in a sonambulistic state. He
remembered nothing from the time he went
to his front door to smoke a cigar, Tuesday
evening at eleven o’clock, until he woke at
the station about six o’clock in the morning.
He walked on the railroad track and must
have met three trains on the way.
Owen Donahoc was owin’ Michael Wolfe,
of Suttield, for board. He stole $120 from
Wolfe, went to Hartford, bought a postal
money order and mailed it to himself in Saf-
field; went back to that place, received the
money order, got it cashed, and paid his
board bill. But he has now been arrested
for his round about way of transacting busi-
ness, and will soon be owin’ the state.
“Turning back the hands” just a hundred
years, we read in a New York paper that a
man in Stratford, Conn., had christened his
son “Thomas Gage.” Instead of politely
asking the patriotic father to accept a sting
oflice, a. delegation of 150 women formed in
military order and marched to the house with
the intention of tarring and feathering both
the father and mother. Failing to get in,
however, the work was not done. But. the
name was promptly repealed.
The Rev. George K. Woodward and his
comyanion, Garrabrandt, the Brooklyn, N.
Y., liquor spies, have finished their labors at.
Waterbury and have returned home. The
whole cost of enforcing the no license vote to
the present; time fools up a few dollars less
than $800. Seventy-one arrests for violating
the liquor law and twenty-seven for other
causes growing out of the liquor cases have
been made. The fines imposed in these cases
amounted to $1500 and the costs $1400.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Times writ-
ing from Ch, says :—
-gf-‘The Prohibitionists will,of course,havc an
independent ticket in the field but this party
showed a falling off in strength last year and
has evidently made the best showing it can.
It weakens the more that both of the regular
parties give it “a severe letting alone.” - It
was organized originally, a few years ago, “to
punish the Republican Party,” as its leader
announced, and to some extent it has carried
out its threat, helping materially to give the
Legislature to 'the Democrats and send two
Democratic Senators of the Bourbon kind to
Washington in place of Senators B kinghain
and Ferry, who were both practi __.tempcr-
ance men but not Prohibitionists. All it has
accomplished practically has been 'to further
the interests of the rum Democracy, and as
men come to see this those who have, been led
into the movement under false colors are get-
ting ont, and this accounts for. the growing
weakness of the “organization."
“The Girl of the Period” Conver-
ted.
Mr. Moody has made a strange convert—at
least the person claims to be conveuted. It is
an erratic and eccentric young woman from
Lewistown, Pennsylvania, who calls herself
and is called “Johnny” Britton. She is well-
known fromAltoona to Lancaster and from
Williamsport to York, among all the sporting
fraternity as a smart whip, a stout _base ball
batter, a habitue of horse races and base ball
matches, a discriminate and keen better, and
as much of a sport generally as any man liv-
ing. IIcr dress is that of a woman except
that. she wears a masculine coat, collai','cravat
and‘hat or cup, and her hair cut to reach not
quite to the shoulders, Inform she is a little
above the medium size; in appearance, ra-
ther masculine, though her features are regu-
lar. Her tout ensemble on the street, especial-
ly, is very dashing~she came down to Phila-
delphia on a wedding trip, was converted,
she says, went back to her home at Lewiston
and is now laboring to convert her old friends
and sportingcompanions.

A bank president in \Vorcester, Mass, said
of the, recent.robberies and defalcations, for.
geries and the like:—--“I’m sick of this rascal-
ty world. Don’t: want to see or do business
with anybody. I’d rather be an old farmer,
living on a. cross-road, four miles from the
sight of anybody, with'a barrel of cider and
two hogs, than to have anything to do with
banks, money, ormen.”

The. contract for building the long-talked
of bridge acroSs the Hudson river at Pough-
kcepsie has been awarded to ' the American
Bridge Company of Chicago. The price
named is between four and live million dol-
lars, and it is said to be the largest bridge con-
tract ever signed. The river at that point is
about half a mile wide, but the bridge, will
‘ with the necessary approaches, be nearly a
mile in length. . It is a huge undertaking.
