ago he was one of the clcvcrcct and most
successful surgeons in the State of. Con.

a criminal lunatic.

In his young days, Mood, when study-

be out One drop'of the milk of human
kindness in his nature. He would as lief
have viviaccted a fellow creature as shake
him by the hand-perhaps would rather
have done so, in the interests of science
to which he was bound. . His absorption
in his studies was remarkable; he gave
,prgmiac of a brilliant future. Unscrupul .

~.- so!!! into the meant-fliescizeda‘upon eyery-

opportunity of increasing his knowledge
or advancing himself in the world. He
was hard, unpityiutr,.remoraelecs. to serve
a purpoam. It wouldhe rrnfnir.,howcver,
to affirm that he was at any time wantonly
cruel.
His studies overrhe went into practice
in Boston, and rapidly rose to eminence.
Miss Lcyman waited patiently, and though
her lover—if the word could rightly be
applied in his case-escarcely ever spared
time to visit her and always behaved with
chilling coldness in her presence, she
never uttered a word of complaint...
People wondered how one with a gentle-
heart, overflowing with tenderness for allv
could haveattgched herselfto such a man.
More than one ofier, which from the
worldly point of view might beconsidered
very eligible, was made to her at one trmc
or other, but she remained constant,

, through the other's almost disdain .to be-

come the choice of her girlhood. It was
even rumored once that flood had abduct-
_ed her pet terrier and operated upon it,
whilstiiving, with cruel torture ;_ but that:

however, tbat;he was‘ not equal to such
an act.

One day, whilst on a round which com-
prised the neighborhood where she was
living, Mood hastily left his carriage and
had himself announced. Hamis, who had
suffered neglect for a fortnight, greeted
him with cheerful pleasure. She saw at

2. i once that he had something lying uneasily
on his mind which he wished to commu-
nicate. Her heart misgavc her. She

whether at the sightrzof her his :conrggc
failed and he dared not carry out the 'pur.
pose of his visit, or whether for a momcng
a spark of feeling found its way into his
breast—is doubtful, but certain it is that
he made no answer to her first anxious
inquiry and selling his hat hurried out
withoutnttcringc word. g _

resolved to break it forever. He had nor.
a thought for the woman whom by his
neglect ho had already wronged so deeply;

but actually took credit for having con~
tinned longer than his interest claimed, a»

 

' 2 . --eontrsct entered into in acnrcless moment

when he was uhfitted to weigh and balance

hdiclaily the step in its various hearings;
and even deceived himself into the belief
that Mamie would regard the matter in
the same light as himself, and welcome
release with gratitude. Perhaps, if her
nature had been moulded in any other
chaps she would. But when a woman
loves as this one loved, she would hear
all for the sake of her love.

Mood drove straight home after the
strange interview with his betrothed, and
put into a brief note the words hehad not
dared to speak. That they were cold
decisive and unfecling does not need to be
told; sentiment held no place in his mind
and he regarded the qucstion as one solely
of convenience—a mere matter of business,
ices weighty than a score of others in
which he had engaged. The letter was
sent, and a month having passed without
sign or reply was forgotten in the whirl
of hard work by which he was constantly
surrounded. Sh'brtly afterwards he was
offered the professorship of tracheal of
surgery at. Hartford. Conn., and entire
post, though bringing in not a
tithe or the profit of his private
practice, would afford him ‘ spare
time for scientific research, he accepted
and took up the appointment.

Ten years passed, and Dr. Moodfs name
became known throughout the medical
world as that of a man distinguished for
his abilities, his skill, and his diccoverle.
in surgical and medical science. During
all this time he may or may not have
bestowed a single thought on Mamie

LeThIcfihool was thronged with students,
who one and all detected the man whilst
ithey could but admire his knowledge and
his strength of mind. His method in
clenching was thoroughly practical ; an
hour’s elaborate talking was not is his
«low so walkable as five minutes' personal
.obcervstion of the object discussed. To
this and more dissection and surreptitious
avlviceclion went on in the Hartford school
.of surgery than perhaps in any cimlllnr
establishment in the States. it has been
said that Hood’s conscience was not over-
burdened with scruples about meaps, and

.zofzbushy shrubs, so that there was little

who supplied him with bodies on which
to operate. Indeed an understanding was
soon established t” which, when a citizen
cnauced to be cut of by some curious or
unusual malady, a hint. was sufficient. to
secure the corpse for use of the school.
Frequently he had with remarkable reck-
lessness, chosen to personally direct. the
work of the desecrators, and had helped
to rob more than one grave of its tenant.
News “as brought. him one evening of
the death and interment in a neighboring
cemetery, which had often been rifled, of
a «crush who had died, according to the
certificate of her medical attendant, of
a, uCupu—Of', by the ass rtlou of her
friends, of a broken heart. Mood laughed
aardonicalty, not at. the idea of death
from a broken heart which had been of
actual occurrence more than once within
his professional experience, but. at the
notion of any person, even a woman,
being so supremely weak as to give way
to the causes which produce that kind of
catastrophe. As the conditions were
tavorable,_and the need of a fresh subject
was great, be determined that. a raid
should take place.
Hartford was asleep. The night was
sultry and threatening, and dark as pitch.
[t was pact one o'clock when Mood, who
hadlbccn waiting louggsoough to get out

having made adctrmr of several miles to a

sharp ring against a stone. " You will end

The diggers worked with great speed.

The moaningof the low wind among the

trees hadl‘ccfcaed, followed by. an oppres-

the distance denoted an approaching

so great that the men were compelled to
throw off their costs before they could

proceed. Presently the coffin was struck.

startlin incident on the road. There
stood by the wayside a pine, with a trunk

ground in nchower of fragments. By a
miracle the men were uuhurt, though the.

now nearly five o’clock and the morning
was already breaking in glints of

rcsurrectionists, tired in every limb and
drenched to the skin, hurried into the

directed them to carry down into the

to his rooms to change his coat, and
thence to the laboratory to obtain a supply
of antiseptic. . '

The two men had scarcely laid the body
out on a table in the cellar where opera——
tions were performed when Mood rejoined
them. Objects in the room were barely
visible by the early light which hesitated
to enter through the narrow gratings; and
there bring about. the place a fmtid odor,
which had often and often offended to
sickness tie stomachs of unseasoned stu-
dents. '

“Turn on the gas there. will you, and
let us have some light 1"” said Mood
sharply. One of the men obeyed, and the
surgeon directed his glance to the object
which he had imperiled his reputation
and liberty to procure.

She was a woman of about thirty-five
years, and was dressed as if for a bridal. _
The rain and the dirt of the sack together
hadhere and there tarnished the pure
whiteness of her robe, and the wet had
washed 0! the artificial color, if any there
had been, from her face._ ‘ Her features
wcrcycet in the calm ofeternall. repose.
The eyes were meekly closed, and one of
the men had from some whim folded the
cold. .whitc hands across her breast. On
her face was written, more clearly than if
in words, a story of long years of nobly
borne sorrow, and 'of _ nobly sustained
wrong. Scarcely possible, it s'eerncd, that
these men, callous though they were to
the core, and hardened almost beyond
hope of recall, could look upon a night so
touching and not be overwhelmed by the
pangs of a fearful remorse.

Baltimore Dispatch: A scandal in

which some very unusualincideurs apmar

was broughtto light recently by the filing

of an'applicatiou for divorce by Henry

Clark. a conductor in the employ of the

Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Clark left

his residence Wednesday cvcning,sftcr

telling his wifelrc was going to leave that

night for Martinburg, W. Va. He did

not go, however, but returned home at a

late hour and retired to bed, his wife

having already done so. Soon sfterwr'rrds

Mrs. Clark complained of severe cramps,

and begged her husband to get up and go
to a-drug store for medicine. He hastily

drew one pair of trousers and hurried
upon his errand. His surprise may be
imagined when, on looking down while
in the drug store waiting for the medi-
cine, he diccovered the trousers he had on
were several inches to short for him. He
felt something bulky in one of his pockets.
Putting his hand in, he drew forth a roll
of bills, amounting to .850. This settled
it. He wcssurs they were not’his trenc-
era. It suddenly struck him that his
presence at home was far more urgent

which command she precipitnlcly obeyed.

ericn Farmers’ Club.

The 167th meeting of the Wilton Farm-
ers' dub was held at the school-house in
Hurlhutt street. on the evening of Feb-
ruary 18th. .

The secretary said at the last meellnL'.
in his talk on the curculio, that. he had
written to Prof. Johnson, of New Haven,
as to whether the female has wings or not.
The secretary said he had received arcply
to the street that the entomologist of the
Peabody museum found no statement
with regard to the matter, nor did he
know. He sent a pamphlet by Prof. J. 1’.
Steele, of Mobile, on the plum curculio, in
which he says the female wings her wsyiuto
the nearest fruit tree; and in relation to
the single brood theory, says: “In our
latitude of New Orleans, I am movinced,
with Capt. Isaac DonOvan, authority on
plum curculio, that there are in a season
several broods, for in favorable circum-
stances it takes but twenty days to trans-
form them into a perfect curculio from
the time of leaving the f ruit."

' The question for the evening was,
“Will it Pay the Farmer to have a Fish
Pond for his own use ?"

Mr. Samuel Fanchcr opened the ques-
tion. He said Mr. Osborne, of New
Canaan, had lately stocked a pond with
German carp.’ They need no feeding or
care. In winter, it is said, they bury
themselves to the mud (a mud hole is a
good place to raise them). The freezing
over of the stream does not afi'ect them;
neither does it require a running stream
or extra cold water to raise them.’ When
grown they are large fish, at four years of
weighing eight Or nine pounds. They are
sought for by hotel men and others who
wish a good fish. The trout and bass re-
quire a clear, cold spring and considerable
care and feed.

Mr. Dudley.-—From what I have read, I
can endorse Mr. E’s statements, and if it
is true that they can he raised so easily, 1
think it would be well for the- farmer
who has such a place as has been de-
scribed to stock it with these fish. . I have
heardthat Seth Green. the pisciculturist,

Mr. John Jackson.—-For the last ten
years they have been trying to stock the
Srratford river with salmon, and we have
less fish than ever. I Qderstand it costs
about eighty cents per pound to raise
trour,_and, if so, I think we canraisc beef
cheaper. I do not know of any pond
about here that will raise anything more
than poll ywogs.

Mr. Fancher.—i was told that a man in
New Canaan put some of these carp in his
pond two or three years ago. Last sum-

mer he found they had .grown to weigh

six or seven pounds.. He has been offered
$8,000 for the fish in his pond. Mr.
Osborne secured his from Washington.
They sent him five cans, be paying only
the expressage. I think the fish com-

,misionersscnt a car load to the New
' England states last fall for distribution.

Mr. Bedlam—I am not at home on
this subject; but have thought that many
'off'our” swamps might be utilized in some
way, and this may be the way. I am
told that these carp are vegetarians, and
subsist chiefly" if not exclusively, on
vegetable matter—aquatic plants. We
don’tuknow what to do With our back
land, but if we can stock our swamps
with fish and they will thrive it is worthy
of consideration.

President.—There seems to be many
fish stores, and I imagine that many times
a person's mind is so bent and his expec-
tations so large that when the fisherman
pulls his fish nearly out of water it looks
to him even twice as largeac it really is.
And are not many of these fish stories ex
aggerated somewhat like this: 'I am told
by a reliable man that he'visted in New
Jersey a pond where some of these. carp
were put in two years ago, and last fall
one of these fish got caught some way in
some brush and was taken. It measured
forty-two inches in length. When put in
it was two inches long. It does seem to
me that the farmers of this town, by a
very little trouble, might plant and reap
what _ fish they wanted to eat without
visitingthe stale fish cart to pay big prices
for fish that have been caught, perhaps,
for weeks and transported hundred of
miles, paying four or five middle men.
Mr. Merwih’c fish pond has been referred
to. I visited it, and it was not shaded at
all, but in the open hot sun. His man
told me that he could not keep the fish in
the pond; thatthcy were crawling about in
(the grass. Isuggested that probably they
were seeking shelter from the scorching
rays of the sun. I heard some discussion
on fish by James A. Bill, at the Newtown
winter meeting. He said the boy.- went
autalittle while and brought in a nice
string of fish. I shall stick by Mrs. Fish
yet.

Secretary.-—A few weeks ago a sub-
scription raised 88 in Bethe], and thirty
nine of these fish were placed in Sim-
paugh pond, south of that place, and as
they multiply very fast they expect fun in
the future. Their rcssvoir has been
stocked for two or three years. and it is
stated one has been caught there recently
weighing several pounds.

1 ‘ A Winter's Work in a local Church.

When in the day of old, Christ passed
through Galilee. great multitudes followed
[ him and found health and gildncss in his
' healing touch.

While our community has been en-
gagcd in its usual nvocafions, this past
winter,- while buying and selling,while
business and pleasure have gone their
usual round, the Christ of Nazareth has
been among us. and men's hearts have
made glad response to lrls sweet invi-
tations .

The First Congregational church, has
been for some months under the charge
of the Rev. Charles Everest, and as the
Fall deepened into Winter it became evi-
dent tothose interested, that his earnest,

had awakened more-than a superficial in.
te'rcst 'infthc minds and hearts of his
people. Not only werevthe Sunday ser-
vices well attended,_but Thursday evening ‘
prayer meetings, were filled with earnest
seekers after Christ. As the January,
communiondrcw near, it was apparent
that it would be an occasion of more than
ordinary interest, and when, on the first
Sunday of the new year, sixteen young
people confessed their faith in Christ,
many were the petition ofiered by both

might go on. This service was follfl’
by the week of prayer, and night
nlghl,‘day after day, the meetings fun
filled with those who were asking, “What.
mustldo to be saved.” Earnest, and
heartfelt were the prayers of loving hearts
for their dear ones who were still out of
Christ. Through cold and storm, time
those hungerlng and thirsting after right.
cousness, to the room filled with the
sunshine of Christ's presence, to be fed
with the bread, of life from the loving
heart and’eloquent lips of, their pastor.
As the work'drcw. to a, close, and the in-
ter est restriction. increase,“ - was decided
to hold four mectingstbc following week,
Mr. Everest preaching a short sermon
each evening._ The doors were thrown
wide open, to2 welcome all who would
come in, snd‘the resell! exceeded the ex-
expectations of the most hopeful. Young
and old, rich and poor, our prominent
business men, the clerks from 'our stores,
the operatives from o 'r factories, often
filled the building to its utmost caps
city. Hearts in which the cares at the
world had choked the good seed sown
by patient frauds long ago, awoke under
the mighty influence of the spirit of God,
into new life. Those who had been
thinking of this matter for some time,
those who had never thought of it at all,
heard the truth so clearly set before them,
so fearlessly pressed home to their hearts
and couscicnces.tbat‘they could not re-
rist its force, and as christians looked on
waiting for the harvest, “Lo, the fields
were already white." On the first Sunday
in March, the church received an acces-
sion of thirty-three members, only four
uniting by letter. Over fifty have been
received during the winter, a larger num-
her than for a great many years. The
great majority of men and young men,
who on that. day, confessed themselves
the servants of the Lord, made the once-
sion at very remarkable orie. Few who
were present, will ever forget that scene.
then were many prayers answered, and
many hearts that barf waited long, made
glad. ,
One of the most marked features of the
revival has been the absence of any undue
excitement. Fathers and mothers and
children, have simply resolved, that, “as
for them and their house, they will serve
the Lord," and although the feeling has
been deep, it has been Quiet. The prayers
of God’s minister are still ascending to
the throne of grace, for the people com-
mitted to his charge, his joyfrri words of
hope and promise, still fail on cars that
are eager to listen. Some are still in
search of the truth, others'havc found it.
The church members feelt but their spirit-
ual life has been quickened and deepened.
old differences have passed away, and the
church stands united today on the great
foundation, Jesus Christ our Lord. * *

thereporforhada talk with one of the
outdoor man of one of the recent additions
to the city’s varied attractions in the
amusement line. and that was what: he
said about the shooter’s business. When
askodifthatmfinhecould say for the
busmccs he replied: “Oh, no; it gives a
man a chance tott'avei, broadenahisvim
and. gives him understanding ofhnmnn
nature for which no other occupation af~
fords as great an Opportunity. This rain
hashrocked business for this day, but

Itis a regular business there and well
followed. Shouters are generally decent
fellows, but as their business is often
precarious they sometimes will accept a
situation with an unreliable showman.
and that, perhaps, is one thing which has
prejudicsdso many people against our
trade. But shouting is our business, and
it does not make much dfi‘ference to us
whether itis the‘amphibions and carniv-
orous dog. or a panorama of the Holy
land. It is not uneasy businessloleam,
but when once a man becomes acous-
fomed to .ifr he can shout before the
crowned heads with the dignity and ease
of a. fish peddler in the most familiar alley
on his business route. If; is a great busi‘
ness in one way 7 You see, we don't have
to pack anymtus or carry any word—

notice. But ,hotel men are not apt to
think any more of a. traveler because he
has no baggage. . That is the way it goes
—one thing balances another. There are
advantages and drawbacks, ups and
downs. The worst calamity of'all, of
course, is the failing of the voice. Did
you ever see a. shonter who couldn’t
shout? Well, he is the most; melancholy
man you ever will see. He pines away
and dies. Before dissolution everybody
abuses him. . The curiosities whose
praises he has sung for years refuse to
recogmze' him, and the boys who steal in
under the tents make him the butt of all
their jokes. He is the embodiment of
misery. You can knock him down with
a straw. Try it.” I
At thispoint the shoufor paused. He
had rattled off his story of the strange
business in much the same style he would
have assumed on his box in front of the
show. He did not apprm the least ex-
hausted, but the reporter found some dif-
ficulty in keeping track of the ideas eluci-
dated by the voluble showman.

Mr. St. Johnston, in “CnmpingAmong
Cannibals,” farms~ ' hes evidence that can-
nibahsm' is on the wane, even in the wild
interior of Fiji. On his way back to the
capital‘he spent a night in the but of an
adventurous countryman who kept a
store on the bank of the Wainnmala—the
first Englishman who hadpenetrated thus;
for. This man gave him a gruesome pit“
ture of the state of things when he first
came to live in the sequestered and then
turbulent locality. “Every man’s hand
was raised against his neighbor for the
simple reason that he was his neighbor.

a feast.” There is no question, Mr. Si.
Johnston asserts, that the Fijian cannibal
loved human flesh for its own sake and .
did not merely eat the slain enemy out of
revenge. A chief would order to be
clubbed some one he considered would
be good for cooking, his plea. beingfhni
his “back tooth asked,” and that. only
human flab could cure it. The subject
is a repulsive one, and Mr. Sf. Johnston
deals for the most'part with far- more
cheerful topics, Whither We will follow
him after one final grim quotation :

joke nor a phrase invented by Europeans.

.MRON BURR'S LETTER.

Matthew L. Davis, who died in the
spring of 1850, was probably the most in~
finential of Washington correspondents.
‘He was s. New Yorker and a. printer by -
trade.‘ Becoming editorially connected
with a. paper, he had entered political life
in 1790, almost immediately after the
adoption of the Federal Constitution. He
joined the opposition or Democratic party.
which came into power by the election of
Jefferson as President and Run- as Vice—
President.

Matthew L. Davis was the intimate and
most confidential friend of Aaron Bur-r
for nearly half 51 century. \Wieu Burr
. filed its left all his papers to Mr. .f):1vi:<.
r ‘wirobccamehis biographer. He 3150 pub—
lished the private memoirs of Aaron Btu-r
in two volumes. In the preparation of
lliisinsr. publication I will here remark
that Mr. Davis acted in a. manner: which
does’houbr to his memory. The extraor-
r'liuary fascination of Burr when the fair
sex were concerned is it matter of history.
He left behind him letters from ladies o
the highest rank in our codfish aristocracy
which told the story of their frailty in
black andwhite. The publication of these
letters would have destroyer] the peace
and domestic happiness of hundreds of
families in this city alone ; of: the same
time, it would have made the fortune of
the publisher. So great; was the excita-
ment in regard. to these “fell-tales” that
; no sooner did the facts become generally
j known that Bun- was dead and that his
% letters and papers had gone into the pos-
l session of Mr. Davis, than hundreds of

letters from all parts of the city and coun-
try came pouring in upon him, asking;
“about certain letters,” and begging, in
lire most humiliating terms, that he would
l destroy them, and appealing to him as
:1 man of honor at lsrtsf- not to publish
them.

This was highly honorable to Mr. Davis,
and I hope his successor will follow his
‘ example, as I feel satisfied that; ever. now
the publication of these letters would-
uause the greatest misery among some of '
I our first families, whose heads might
- have to change their names on finding-.-
such terrible proofs against their fagiti-
I may. '
