Public Informers-- Police Suck1s-Connecticut Blue

Mr.. BENNETT =
SRA large portion of this community have an
idea that New York is just the worst place in the
whole world. Now will endeavor to give your
readers short sketch Of what is going on in this
"goodly city of elms," as some writers pleased
to call it, and then let candid persons Judge for
themselves which is the worst, New Haven or New
York, according to the size OF the place. In New
York you have persons who are called regular
public informers by profession Here we have
half dozen such persons. There most Of
them reformed drunkards, and more lazy, rascally
set of loafers cannot be found. BY this statement
don't intend to cast any reflection on the Tenn
perance Society in this city-for as Society there
is none more respectable or larger in this State !;
but mean those who think that because they have
left off drinking, perfect, and have right to IN
suit every one whom they please. mean those
who "lounge and Loaf" about Motifs corner from
morning till night-smoking and squirting to-
bacco Juice in every direction, and staring at
every respectable female who chances to meet
these locomotive nulsances-these fellows are also
connected with portion OF our "indeiatlgable
pollce"-and any poor widow, or any poor person
who is compelled to keep an oyster shop ior
living, these fellows will pounce upon, have them
arrested for selling beer "conrary to the Connecti
cut Laws in such cases made and proWdedj" have
them fined SO and costs, IN all about y III. The
next morning they all meet and divide the spollr,
purchase more segars and tobacco, then " lay low"
ioi another victim. But there is "a rod in pickle"
for them, and ere long they will find something
else to attend to but loafing and smoking segars
We are TO have a grand Mass Convention here
next week. on Thursday. The wings have made
arrangements to accommodate 20 900 persons scol

with songs from 10. Hoxie Il Co. 1t is expected
that the Hon. Joseph l.. White will address the
meeting; in case he should will endeavor to Civ,
your numerous readers correct account of the
meeting, together with the speech.

Durip is Durip still, in spite of all trials to make it
otherwise, and still we have considerable news yet
that might interest you and your readers We

pretty large scale.
Since the great Albany Mass Convention de-
probation appears TO have existed In Locofoco
money matters, but whether ii is real or sham af

and since then money is not so rife; but as Union
College goes again next week, we i've n great ex-

WROUGHT IRON GUNs.-A reader of the National
Intelligence has communicated to that journal! the
following passage, transcribed from Days Hs,os
rcal Colec,ions:-
"Drd. on Sunday. the 18Th December, 1880, at
his residence in Mifiiin township, Cumberland CO.,
Pennsylvania. " illam Denning. i'm the Oath wear
Of his age. The deceased WAS an artifcer i'm the
army o. the Revolution. lie il was who in the
days of his couniry's need, made the only sue
cessiu attempt ever made in the world 10 manu-
iacture wrought iron cannon; two ofwhich he COM
plrttd al MiddlaseS, in this county, and COM
menced another and larger one at Mount Holly
but could get no one to assist him who could
stand the heat. which is said have been SO area:
as to melt the lead buttons on his clothes This
unfinished piece il is said lies as he left il at either
Holly forge or CARLISLE barracks. One of those
completed was taken by the British at the bat.
tie of Brandywine, and is now in the tower of
! London.
''The British Governmen nj offered large sum and
stated annuity to the person who would instruct
them in the manufacture of that article; but tn.
patriotic blacksmith preferred obscuriiy and nov

CAPT. TYLER's GOOD LUCK.

The rapid advancement of the present in
cumbent OF the Presidential chair, from one
distinguished station to another, until he at
tanned his present lofty anG preemnent posi-
ton, when viewed in connection with his
slender professions to public iavor-for he is
destitute alike of talents, stability, political
honesty, and withal, notoriously unpopular
not only in his own state, but even in his own
jisiric,-has created an Impression somewhat
akin 10 superstition that his good luck is ire
sstable. We have heard it said, upon good
authority that a distinguished yirginian some
years ago predicted that John Tyler would be
Presden, of the United States before he died.
When asked by the astonished bysianders up
ON what grounds he based prediction SO
strange and improbable, he replied that moth
ing could Withstand John 1'yler's "good
luck"
We find another amusing instance Of the
impression which prevails thro'-
out the country III regard to The extraordinary
Sood f"ck OF his Accidency, recorded in the
correspondence Of the New York True Sun.
The correspondent Of that Journal, in re-
cent letter, saws:
IAN evening or two after the accident on board
me Princeton, IA large crowd being assembled at
oadsoy's. stranger was overheard TO say: 81
wish to Heaven Captain Tyler tad been sitting
as'rde The gun when il was fred" A gentleman
stepped up and rebuked him strongly. and said:
~ shall make personal affair of it, Tho
stranger replied: ''You had better hear me out
before you say SO. ] intended 10 have added that
II he had been seated on the gun, his good luck
would have prevented the explosion" A gene-
raj huzza rewarded him Tor his ingenuity
The President still THINKS he has chance
Tor a nomination at Baltimore, with what good
reason time alone will show
IThceling Gaz
