THE ENQUTRER.
LITCHFTELD, AUGUST 9. 1888.


 Disappointed in finding large portion of the preced Ing page occupied with the substance of the remarks of Mir. WEBSTER, delivered at Fanueil Hall on the occasion of the dinner lately given to him. There were several other addresses delivered on that occa- sion which it would afford us pleasure to republish, particularly that of Mr. Prenriss of Mississippi, but we have not room for them without excluding much other matter These festival seasons, conducted as this was, give tise to great intellectual display
 HousnIonic Rail Road-Coniractors will observe by reference to advertising columns that por- ton of this road is 10 be put under during the present month. We urderst0nd-and are glad SO to iearn-that the company, notwithstanding the State would not do any thing assist them, and notwth. standing the New York state folks are making noise to draw attention to ter contemplated road running parallel with this, determined go ahead in their noble enterprise This road will undoubtedly be speedily contracted for, and completed with as much despatch practicable to do it. May success attend the efforts of this company
 Norh Carotino-The election for Governor and members ofthe legislature commenced in few coun- ties the last Tuesday in Juy-was followed in some others last Tuesday, and will be completed next Tuesday. Gov. Dudley and Ex- Gov. Branch are the candidates for Governor. We have returns from on- ly three counties which give Dudley lWhig) the small majority of a59-though in the same counties, tEdgecombe, Pitt and Washington in ls38 there E was majority, the other way, of 7s9-Whig gain only ll46 in three countless and gain of one Whg member to the legislature.
 #. Elections were held in Illinois and Missouri on Monday last, for Members of Congress, among other officers. These two States have always been strongly locofoco-herefore, if they should still throw away < their votes upon the experimenters," most tre- s mendous shout would be raised by them because they have not yet lost every State in the Union We shall not get the returns probably under couple of weeks. If they should come in favorable to the Wings, good bye, Mr. Humbug Benton!
 Letters from the East Indies announce the decease of the Rev. John N S. Perry and his wife, Missona- rics of the American Board They died at Ceylon, of cholera the former on the 10th and the latter on the 18th of March last. Mr. Perry was the son of the Rev. David L. Perry, late of Sharon, in this county, and Mrs. Perry the daughter of the late Charles Lathrop, Esq of Norwich. They sailed for the East Indies about three years since. It is understood that they have left orphan child in that land of sran. gers. Mrs. Perry is the third daughter of Mr. Lathrop who has died n the missionary service, and his only ssafvivng daueh,eris engaged in the same bene- 5 volent employment Com. 0 Another Adm,ission-By way of the far.west, we 6nd an article extracted from New-York paper, giving the substance of speech delivered by MT Bu < ehanan of Pennsylvania in the U S. Senate few days before it's adjournment. In allusion for relieving the administration of the heavy weigh, which pressed upon it, he says
 "The present opposition, with the talents they pos eess if there IS regulation, would break down, he. ore the termination of ls3s any administration under heaven."s
 If this does not show clear a sunbeam. Qnr the measure which he recommended did not succced) that MT, Buchanan considers the administration as virtually broken down. we know not what language be would employ to make it appear more so. M Nr The Greae Western steam ship arrived at New York Sunday last on her second trip from Bristol, England. She performed the passage in IA l-2 days, and brought l3O cabin passengers. By this vessel English papers the soM July are received-sixteen days later than before: their contents are however unmportant. No news of much consequence. In- tegence of the overthrow of the Sub Treasury Bill had been received. and caused rejoicing among the American merchants there. Queen Victoria has given two great State Balls. at which immense sembage of the nobility and other distinguished per- cons were present-whe,her Col. Webb and young . Van Buren among them do not learn. A great fire had taken place Grand Cairo, which ged three days and destroyed 600 houses. The vau. deville Theatre at Paris also destroyed by fire.
 We understand that at the Fair of the Young la- dies Benevolent Society, held Wednesday of last week for the benefit of Foreign Missions, the receipts Mamounted to the sum of SEA-
 Ss These are the days of Commencements in our Lit erary Institutions. That at Middletown took place on "Wednesday of last week, and at Hartford on Thursday. In the former, there were 24 graduates, and in the latter I2a of the latter took par, in the exercises on the occasion Alexander H. Evcriit, of Boston, delivered address each place, which is spoken of as being very able. Subject, the history. poetry, and philosophy of the Bible.
 Isaac Perkins, Esq of Hartford, has been appointed by the County Court States Attorney for that county vice s. H. Huntington. Esq. retired. Wonder if a certain legal interrogation point in the northern part of Lch6eld county will not soon be permitted to go and do likewise!
