A Reddiug correspondent of the Bridge-

says :, “The chief bug-bear seems to be
the expense of enforcinga no license law.
Norwalk’s experience is brought forward
to terrify our tax payers. That town, it
is said, in attempting to enforce a no ll-
cense law a few years since. had several
appealed. all of which were promptly
thrown out when they came up before
the higher court, leaving the town with a
bill of three or four thousand dollars to
settle. If this is true we condole with
Norwalk on her hard luck—but if her peo-
ple had had» half the backbone of their
forefathers they would have shaken an in-
vestigation and impeachment proceedings
in the face of the judge and prosecuting
attorney who were guilty of _such a'fia-
grant breach of trust." ‘

The Rev. Frank Tfinipsou electrified
his congregation on Sunday last. by tend-

some time past, Mr. ThonIpsou has been
unable to carry out his, ideal of a pastor’s
duty by reason of impaired health, which
fact, however, no one’has regretted more
than himself. Having been tendered the
pastorate of the Seamg'h’s'Chapel. at Val.
paraiso, Mr. Thompson after some hesi-‘
tency concluded to the accept offer and
take up his residence at that place with
the expectation that a change from the
capricious climate of‘New England to the
more genial one of Chili, might bring
about a marked improvement in his
health. Mr. Thompson'slife in _Wilton
has been a busy and useful one. His
spiritual administration has been wise,
and succes‘sful,while to his tact and per-
severance the church owes the extinguish
ment of a debt of over $1,200. While
all regret his departure, there is no one
but what regards it as a prudent measure,
and Mr. Thompson will carry with him
the best wishes of sieving and united
congregation. " O: N. X.
