A family of six persons were badly poi—
soned on Sunday week, in Brooklyn, by eat-

said the accident was caused by a practice
called “ cockling“; that is,drugging fish with

ing this subject the Nan et Inquirer says:
It will be news to our fishermen to know
that bait is ever used in the capture of blue
fish, and as for atryclmme being sprinkled
over it, that is a perfect absurdity. The
most likely story is that the fish had been
ked in ice and kept a long time after be-
ing caught. No one at all acquainted with
the nature of these fish, will eat. them after
they have been twenty-four hours from the
water; and we do not wonder that many
are made sick by lag of them after
being packed in the hold of a vessel for days
and perhaps weeks.
The block of land in New York, bounded
by Park Row, Beekmnn and Nassau streets,
and Printing House Square, once belonged
to the city. It wu given to the trustees of
the Brick Church on condition it should be
used for no other purpose than a religious
one. The United States government once
thought of buying this land for a post—office
site, but declined to do so, since the Brick
Church could give no clear title to it. Sub-
sequently, the late Mr. Raymond of the New
York mud, and James B. Taylor, for anom-
inal sum purchased this property of the city,
by virtue of an act of the Commori Coun-
cil, which Mayor Wood vetoed. The opin-
ion is now held that the city had no right to
receive this money, and proceedings are to
be taken to rewver the property.

FAITH
The Connecticut lune Laws, No. 2.
To the Editor of the Sentinel
I am gratified to learn, that my article in
your late issue attracted some attention and
awakened discussion. The great difficulty
hitherto, has been to secure this. People
generally read in haste, and make up their
conclusions at a jump, without stopping to
weigh the cvldcncc. Hence tllc prci‘slcucc
of errors. A funny story, well told, excites
a laugh, and passes uncontrmlictcd. It fast-
ens on the mind as established truth, and
years afterward it is brought out as verita‘
blc fact—admitted by every one.
This is the way the stories of Samuel
Peters gained their currency. No one took
the ptt'lns to contradict them at the time.
They wmr ton monstrously absurd torcqulrc
contradiction. This was the reason why
Dr. Trumbull, the historian of Connecticut,
ncvcr alluded to them in his history. He
Sllltl to Prof. Kingsley, who enquired why
he pusscd them lay in silencc—“ That he had
known Samuel Peters from his youth, was
in college with him, and of all the men he
ever know he was the least rclinblc, especial-
ly in story telling.
Had he lived in lln- prescntduydic would
have seen ”10 necessity of quenching this
fire brand, before it kindled into :1 flame
of sectarian and political slander. LN us
quench it now, and stamp it out.

any other paper, corresponding with lllUSC‘

ever existed, cxvcpt in the brain of Samuel
Pctcrs. \Vlio \vus Samuel Peters, and how
did llf‘ gain his cclcbritv 1’ He was on Epis-
copal Clergy-mun in IIebron, (1min. “'hcn
the Colonies struck forlibcrty and independ-
ly denounced \Vusliington and his anny as
rebels. The people become indignant. His
best friends deserted him. A crowd of poo-
plc gathered around his house at night and
threatened something serious, If he did not
stop his tory gobble. He became frigl1t~
cncd, left the town, and finding no congen-
ial place in this country, wont to England,
where lnrics wort- popular. There hc pub-
lished his history, which was well received
by the ignorant. haters of America. After
the war was over and many of the banished
torics returned, this book bcgnn to circulate.
lt wosjust to their liking. Extracts from
it were published in the tory papers and re-
pcntcd in the tory circles. And finally, sec.
tnrinu bigotry being enlisted in n political
crusade against the dominant party, these
stories were used with effect, to prejudice the
unthinking against the class of men, who
had always ruled, and _br on the foremost in
society. Thus the contagion spread, and the
belicfl became prevalent, that those Blue
Laws were actually embodied in the code of
Connecticut. The contradictions and ex—
posurcs of the slander have been unheeded,
because quiet, thinking men did not care to
be always talking of a matter so ridic ulous,
while- tlie unthinking and the. malicious hnvc
repeated the stories with such an air of as-
surance, that now it even requires :1 little
boldness to call them in question.
I append two more samples of the stories
contained in this book of Peters, the only
authority, be it remembered, for the exist-
ence of the fur fsm‘cd Blue Laws:
First he tells of three Indian kings, or sa-
chems, Connecticote, Quinnipiog and Sassa-
cus, of whom Counccticote was supreme or
Emperor and then says that this great chief
refused to sell his land, but gave the settlers
permission to settle among his people and
teach them religion. They sent. out their
missionaries, with presents, and soon con-
verted many of the people and some of the
inferior chiefs. Then they spread the
small pox among the Indians, which de-
stroyed them by hundreds, and all the prin-
cipal chiefs. Having thus got rid of the In-
dians, they took possession of their lands.
This, Mr. Kingsley pronounces an entire
fabrication. N 0 such chief as Connecticote,
or Quinuipiog ever existed. No lands were
tel-s will please say they are advertised.
