J. Arthur Ambler has a book which
Was printed in the year 1618. It is a
large one and in a good state of preserva-

reads, “A Godly and learned exposition

in Cambridge by that Reverend and In-
dlcious Divine M. William Perkins which
was printed by Cantrell Legge. printer to

the book gives "a fruitful dialogue con-
cerning the end of the world wriltten
many years ago by M. W. Perkins" and a
discourse on Witchcraft, and various 0 (hi 1'

An adjourned meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Fttll‘flcld County Agricultural
Society was called to be held at the
Mallackemo Hotel yesterday afternomn to
take action on matters of vital importance
to the future existence of the society. The
Hartford exodus, howaver, prevented
many from attending and it was deter-
mined advisable to adjourn until Saturday
afternoon. It is earnestly to be hoped
Ilierc will be a full attendance of the
stockholdcls, and t mt those who cannot
be present will send proxies, instructed to
lake action looking to the establishment
of the society upon a substantial and
permanent basis. It should be borne in
mind that the life of one of the old historic
institutions of Norwalk is at stake, and
the meeting of Saturday afternoon will
- render the verdict that will either send it
onward to a career of usefulness and
profit, or usher it unceremoniously out of
existence.
Nearly three hundred of our handsom-
est citizens took a. special train, chartered
for the purpose, yesterday morning, for
inrtford, Via Dnnbury and Norwslk and
New England roads, to impress the legis-
lative body with the yearning and hanker-
ing of this region for the granting of the
Housatonic railroad’s petition for per—
mission to build branches to their road to
Constitute ll parallel from New York to
New Haven. The train, in charge of
Supt. Payne, left this station at 9:15,
arriving in Haltford about noon. The
passengers marched in a body to the
capitol, a dignified and imposing caval—
cade that made the citizens of Hartford
stand aside and marvel. A goodly number
, inspected the ruins of the Wlecked Park
Central Hotel and visited other points of
interest about, the beautiful capitol city.
Vilether or not the grand outpouring of
Norwltlk public opinion will be influential
in detcrllliuing the result of the railroad
hearing, it will undoubtedly carry Weight
as indicating llle sentiment of this part of
.he country iii the matter of the necessity
of a parallel road, and in that result its
object Will have been fulfilled.

Probably the Social Purity society
thought it necessa y to do something to
impleas the community with its import—
ance. Well, there is much that this
society might do—but it won’t. It was
not a very brave thing to arrest for adul-
tery a poor Woman who has for two years
past been living with a man as his Wife.
though they Were not married by some a f
the usual methods. There are much more
flagrant cases of adultery than this in
Hnl‘tftll'f'l, and every member of the Social
Purity society is aware of the fact. There
are cases where influential citizens lead
double lin-s, and many a room in this
city is occupied by a woman who is sup-
ported by a-man Willi a family. But the
Social Purity society does not dare arrest
one of these. They prefer to devote their
attention ton Woman without influence.
It Would be llilll'h belief for the society’s
reputation if it confined itself to the moral
suasion and let the antiquated Connecti-
cut. blilc laws look out for themselves.

Tile Government Printing Office is a

increasing to size over year. The volume

Tile duties of the Public Printer are prob.
ably the most vcxatious and complex of
any executive oficer in Washington. Ill
the first place, he has under his command
over 2.000 employees—printers, book-
binders, slereotypers, laborers and women.
Tile press for positions in the Government
Printing Office is greater than in any other
Department of the Government, because
it is outsulc of civil service control. The
delnlln s of Congressmen and the appeals
of men and women for positions are
enough to make the hair of the public
printer turn gray in a month. Besides
this, he has to have personal supervision
of the immense establishment and its
work. Congress is the hardest customer
to deal with that cVer a printing ofiicc i ad
to do with. Most profligete ill its orders
for work, it is most pcnurious in its appro-
priations to pay for it.

The advance statement for January, 1889,
of Win. F Swiizler, chief of the bureau of
statistics, shows that the total export of
beef, hog and dairy products during the
mom ll was $1 I ,152,757, against 86.826980
for January, 1888, an increase of $4.325,-
777 Tlle increase ill dairy products ex-
ported was only $343,607, heel and hug
products making the great billk of the
increase. In fact, for the nine months
ended Janual y 81 there was a falling off
of more than 31,8 00,000 in the exports of
butter and cheese. The exports of fresh
beef for the month Were greater by some
$600,000 than for January, 1888 The
Americau‘hog had a great boom in spite
of Bismarck. Tile bacon exports were
33.675377, against $2,514,774. while lard
exports were $8,365,567, against $1,692,-
994 for January, 1888. For the three
months ended January 31 the value of
lard exports was $8,116,024, against
$5,964,556. Tile American hog has the
bulge on the American cow, as it Were.
A Well-knowb—Nor-wlch woman has
just recovered from a severe attack of
the scarlet fever which she contracted on
the Shore Line road. As she was board-
lng a train she saw a box containing a
coffin placed in the car at New Haven’.
Four mourners accompanied the remains,
and in the crowded condition of the pass-
enger coach one of the mourners took a
seat with her. Suspecting that her fellow
passenger was one of the funeral ps'ty,
she inquired of her with reference to the
body she had seen put on the train, and
was surprised to learn that the dead per-
son was the sister of the woman with
Whom she was sitting,and that she had died
of virulent scarlet fever after a Week’s ill-
ness. Tllc Norwich woman expressed her
surprise that a body under such circum-
stances should be allowed transportation
on a passenger train, and explained the
danger to the‘public, of which the mourn-
er seemed totally ignorant. The Norwich
lady was assured that every requirement
of the law had been complied with; the
remains had been placed In an hermetic-
ally sealed casket and surrounded with
disinfectants, and the mourner expressed
the hope that the Norwich woman's fears
might prove finite. Bill her fears did not.
She took the scarlet fever, and soon after
her arrival ill Norwich was taken down
Willi the disease, and after serious illness
has just sufficiently recovered to ride out.
Whether any one else took the disease on
on that day is not known, but this case is
traceable directly to finite-use.
As announced in Tm; 32001:!) on Satur-
day, Mr. James B. Wood, formerly of
the Sentinel, has been engaged as canvass.
er, collector and local reporter for the
Gum-r: and the m. Mr. Wood,
from his association with the Sentinel, is
well known to our business men and we
bespesk for him their kind attention and
patronage. With the acquisition of Mr.
Wood to the staff we will be enabled to
give more local itéms and more careful
editorial attention to the general news and
miscellany departments. Pressure of im-
portant business necessitating the absence
of the editor-in-chief for protracted
periods of lime, and the impracticability
of one writer doing full justice to the
various departments of two distinct news-
papers at the spine time, render this move
sdvisable. Speaking for the old zesm,
it is bound to be equal to the best an i will
spare no pains or expense to keep fully
abreast of the times.
According t9. the Dnubury New: there
is a very curllltls case of insomnia in the
town of Brookfield. The victim is s
young lady in her “teens," robust and
perfectly healthy In all other respects.
- She cannot sleep, cotlrt it however assidu-
ously she may. ,_ She has taken old grand-
mothers’ soporifics Without stint or mess-
lire, and has never found any help from
them. She has recently been made happy
in the discovery of a method by which
she can readily fall asleep. She obtained
the suggestion from a SWedlsh woman
who washed for the family. She takes I
napkin and dips it in ice water and does
not wring it out entirely dry, and binds it
over her eyes. In a few moments she is
in a sound sleep. In the course of about
four hours the best from the head dries
the nilpkiu and she awakes. She then
repeats the cold wslcr application, and
with a good result. Some nights two
applications sufiice, while others time are
necessary. Tile young lady is so delighted
with this discovery that she wishes to
make it known to others who may be
similarly afflicted.
