would suggeat for your consideration
whether there may not be some way do
vised to increase both capital and income of
the school fund, either by allowing it to le-
gally obtain seven per cent. on their loans or
by a light tax in some direction. Its present
dividend of one dollar per scholar in fact a
lea than onebalf the former dividend of

ricultural towns, while the citie and centers

Some amendments to our laws regarding
railroads are evidently needed. Thor-care
completed and in use in the State 667 miles
of rouland 550 miles in peocessofccm-
struction, with a stock capital in the aggro~
gate of about thirty million and a bonded
debt of about fifteen millions. The g
earnings of all these roads are about 11111
millions. while it costs about six and one-
half millions to operate them and requiring
in the different departments over 200 en-
gines.“ passenger and 4,000 freight cars,
and 5,000 men The number of passengers
carried last tear exceeds clght millions, of
whom only two persons have been injured.

The interest of agriculture is important
and varied enough to warrant at least one
man, with a competent board of advisers to
collect and diseminate information upon
the different branches of husbandry We
have now no legislation designed to prevent
or control the spread of contagious diseases
among our flocks and herds. Experience
for the last few years has clearly shown ne-
cessity of some protection for our cattle
breeders. I recommend that the Board of
Agriculture be reinstated and clothed with
authority in this direction. Unites thisbe
done, commimioners should be appointed by
the Guam-nor a- the General Assembly,
wbme power and duties should be fully de-
fined by law.
The word “ white” is still in our constitu-
tiou. Inasmuch as it is made null and void
by the adoption of the fifteenth amendment
to the Federal Constitution. I recommend
that it be stricken from ours.
Our laws respecting property rights of
married women seem to need amendment. I
think that no fair minded person will deny.
that if women have no direct voice in the
legislation of the State, men should enact
such laws as will secure to them perfect jus-
tice. I renew, therefore, the recommenda-
tion I made two years ago that the laws be
so amended as to make the rights of the
wife to her property equal to those of her
husband in his, and that the same interest
be secured to either survivor in the property
of the other.
There' ls a growing sentiment in the State
in favor of biennial election to be held in
the autumn, to which I would call your at,-
tention. The time will probably soon come
when by a congresional enactment, all
members of Congress must be elected the
same day. It requires no argument to de-
monstrate the gmat economy it would be to
the State, to hold two elections in four
vears, instead of five in four years as at
present. I recommend that measures be
taken to bring about this result.
I recommend that the earnings of any per-
son to the extent of fifty dollars be exempt
from attachment for debt Most of our man-
ufacturers pay off, as it is termed, monthly.
and the average monthly wages of laborers
sperhaps, about this amount, an exemp—
tionof itwoull! in manycascsof sickand
unfortunate workmen pm‘nt great diam

laborer for other: and an employer of

justice to all panic demands a larger exculp-
tion than at preaent exists.
I would suggest to your serious consular-
ation whether willow legislation isnot
aecesmry for the protection of the ballot in
this state. Not only should bribery and
coercion beprevented 3m the casting of the
haflots, but thumbs should be ate-and
accurate, and the number of votes polled
and declared should correspond with the
namescheclted on the list. Peualtieashould

This arrangement was satisfactory to Rains,
'and she was arraigned before a magistrate
who fixed the matter up in a legal manner.
In a few years Brunor returned and claimed
his wife She was ready to go to him, for
he had stamps laid up for a rainy day and
Rains was getting very dry and stale; and
Rains was anxious to have her go, for he
was tired of the arrangement; butthejudge

Five Mile River Items.
We notice in reading the Rowayton items
signed by Oliver Cook, that he still contin-
ues to try to locate Five Mile River on some
other portion of the globe, even after our
railroad station has been properly named
the same. As to having guide boards put
up, we think Capt. Andrew Bell (as Mr.
Cook has suggested it) will erect one in the
corner of his yard, so that people an find
Rowayton, if they can only get by Norotou
depot. But everybody that ever knew
where Five Mile River was situated, knows
it yet, and comes right straight to it without
a guide board, as it never has been moved
into either the Torrid or Frigid zones, as
the Rowaytoncrs try to make it appear. “'0
11111111 the Rowaytou people exhibit a princi-
ple very much like the South did before the
“'lll‘; that is, you have got to change the
name of your place or we will fight you to
the end. \tht (lo we care if it 13111 an-
other tuwn. In the varrxur. of March 13111,
we saw among the Rownyton items the fol»
lowing: “ All is is quiet along the lines
which we think an indication that those in-
habitants of their fond river are about mov-
ing to land. Come with us and smoke the
pipe of peace." Now we think instead of
doing as they proposed, they have dug up
the hatchet and are wielding it in every
direction. They even attempted to take the
alga down from 011' the depot in the dark-
ness of the night, but did not succeed. There
happened to be a witness of that noble
transaction.
We think 0. Cook's statements about
postofllcc matters are about as clear as mud
still. Ile don‘t say anything about those
letters which were lost this spring and were
sent through the Rowayton Postoflicc. We
will explain as frlr as Mr. Pcnnoyer cx-
pluincd to us about the letter 0. Cook has
reference to. Mr. P. said he gave it to Mr.
A. Themes for Mr. ll. Taylor. Mr. Thames
said he sent it to [be Dnricn depot, as ll.
Taylor was there, and that is the last that
has been heard from it. Mr. Tlmmcs ill the
present time keeps the branch ofllcc under
Mr. Cook's supervision. '1‘th are the facts
in this case. \i'.C.Sm11mis never has rc—
ceivcd a letter directed to him No. 3 Bulls
Run, Gruntville, and if 0. Cook has such
a one in his [lossesssom it- would be well for
him to forward it or advertise it.
Again he tells of a hole in a rock,siluatcd
in the lower port of Rowa ton, “'e have
also heard of a knot hole In a man's fence,
through which the owner said he crawled
back and forth all night after having voted
for Grantville. He, is one of the leading
Rowayton men.
Mr. Cook says he wants a horse to unhar-
uess himself, when he comes home late at
night. We think that kind of udvcrtisint!
is asort of sponging out of the newspaper.
However we think he is provided for, as we
have heard of a man's wife always going
out to unharncss the horse when the owner
comes home day or night.
The captain of the sloop Julia wishes 11's“
to state that the last package that he brought
from New Y ork, mnrked Rowayton, was
about four weeks ago, and which was a box
of soap and he thinks it. has washed Rowny-
ton out of this side of the harbor.
We are afraid the cold weather we have
bad will prove a great injury to fruit trees,
also, shorten the supply of strawberries
which were looking so finely. A good rain
is very much needed in this section.

What Harper‘s Weekly thinks of the Ga-

" Everybody would like to understand the

“ On this side of the Atlantic the law af-
fords calumniated persons very little protec-
tion. If this were otherwise, we should
soon be rid at once of our accustomed aur-

in their circulation."

What many “mutual friends and influen-
tial residents of South Norw "think of
the Gazette: “We have the beat reasons
for believing that the Gm: printed ‘ coun-
terfeit‘ tickets at the late election, with the
name of George A. Davenport adroitly in-
serted in the place of the Republican can-
didate for Probate J ndge.”
What we think of the am: “The
fairness, honor and courtesy ; the sparkling
wit and profound leaning; the diapamionate
self- possession; the calm and uubending
dignity; the CICSEIICC and Wfiii VI explw
siou; the innumerable and unmentionahle
qualities of the heart and intellect displayed
by it in this controversy have astonished its
oldest friends and most ardent admirers."
uom‘s ILL-LAD.
The Gazette has subsided—Imstways the
convulsions of virtuous wrath, which have
sh .ken the entire umbliahment of that
jo1 rnnl from top to bottom since election,
do have so far mitigated that. its chief edi-
toz ill take a breathing spell in his howls
of anguish, and give his subordinates time
to dry up their sympathetic teats. Its issue
of the week before last described 115 as
“goaded by a guilty conscience" into “ vom-
iting forth a redoubled dose of most auda~
ciouslies," “a wretch utterly destitute of
honor, truth, gratitude or decency," manu
facturing " malicious and mendacious crim-
inatious" and " weekly exhibitions of
blacker depravity," with much more of the
same sort, which we submit is drawingit
mild. in view of the pent—up agonies still
heaving in the bosom: of the Gazette folks.
But for two weeks the Gazette has had no
word for us Its last effort must have been
exhausting; or perhaps it was relied upon,
as its title indicated, to make an effectual
“finia of Wing." The Gazette, when thor-
oughly poked up, isnot indeed to be succeed
at There is a fearful rattling of venerable
boneswhen it preparm for action; and it
“canroar you aothat itwill do anyman
good to hear it ;" but we still live, and hope
to wax fat and Helga occasion“ myre—
quire.
We know what will come of this. There
willbeamlapae of hysteria lathe 0m
office. There will be fresh weeping over
our sins. and renewed wailinga at omit?
gratitude for mercy. There will be gush-
ings of teeth at our audacity. and shrub
for final and pitilaaa vengeance, endiaghi
the bringing out of the dictionary, and
much maiter—of—fact headmtchmg’ , and
tongue-protruding, and walling of eyea, as
“ the Senior” labors in the production of a
squelchcr for us, while the aatellitn stand
by in silent awe at the thunderbolt of thir-
ehief. It's tempting fate to start up the
Gazette‘s machinery for mixing bad gram-
mar with double-under! adjective and
six-jointed substantives. knowing that the
discharge will be aimed at oarself; but we
must know whether the present quiet in the
end of the storm, orthe precursor of fresh
horrors. The thinnest materials for a tan-
pestcanbemade tolastaloug while,wben
economiaed in a very small teapot, as the
Gaaeughas ahown; and curiosity in this
matter has gpt the better of our fears.
In our own behalf we ask nothing, but
there are others who might like to know
that “ the Senior” had emerged from the
paroxysmal stage of his misery, and that his
gigantic intellect will once more beam un-
clouded on the community, through the
medium of that usually placid, though not
over brilliant sheet, the Norwalk GM,
atan expense of five cents per-copy. We
have been in‘ the habit of readingthe am,
even down to its editorials. We hearour
readers murmur, “ This indeed is too much.”
Those who feel it impossible to take a full
don of the Gazette every seven days without
lapsing into a state of harmless idiocy will
doubt our statement, but we do not feel
called upon to make alldavit in the matter;
we have gone through the ordeal in the line
of duty, and ‘its leaders could always be
relied upon for a slumber which restored our
wasting energies We believe there are
others to whom the Gazette is usefuL Take:
on owasions when the character of the lit-
erature in hand is not premeditated—in fact
unimportaue—we fireaume they read par-ta
