CONGRESS. - 4AS speseh Of Hon.
Truman Smith, on tbs Ershoh spOliatiOn
Bill, delivered in the Senate OF the 18th
inst, is spoken Of in the highest terms by
the Washington press and letter writers.
The correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette says:
Truman Smith concluded to-day one
of the ablest arguments in favor Of the
French Spoilation Bill, which has yet
been heard in the Senate. great and pow
erful as the efforts of Mr.. Clayton and
other friends of the measure have been.
Mr.. Hunter. who has already been recog-
nized as one of its most formidable antag-
onists. admitted that Mr.. Smiths reason
ing and facts had produced powerful
impression upon his mind, although they
had not disturbed his conviction, in
regard to the justice of the claims. OF
rather in regard to the responsibility OF
the Government to pay them. Ii the
Senate would now proceed to vote on
the question, there is no doubt that a
majority would be found in the afirma-
tive, but with the collateral issues that
may recur by delay and other causes,
there is no certainty of the success OF
the bill, even if the Senate should adopt
it. The stale and untenable plea OF an
tiquity will be urged now, as it has often
been urged before, and with great in
Justice to the claimants, who for forty
years, have been relying upon the integ-
rity of the Government to fulfill its first
obligation.

Perjury and Forgery.

Jesse Porter aged IS. and his son Den
mis- G. Porter, both of Waterbury and
men of property. were examined yestcr-
day before Justice Bennett. On com.
plant, brought by John G. Hollister,
ESQ.,, Grand Juror of this town, charging
them with the crimes Of perjury aud for
gerry. They were both bound over for
trial in the sum Of IS, 900, which security
they gave. and departed. The facts, as
we learn, were substantially these: Jo>
seph Porter, brosEer-in in law and cousin of
Jesse Porter, the accused, died in Watei-
bury in the year l84S, leaving an estate
worth over 100000. AS he made no
will. the property legally fell to bis wife.
and his brothers aad sisters. The wife,
however, died soon after the decease OF
her husband. The accused, Jesse Por>
ter, and his son Dennis G. Porter, laid
claim to the estate, and exhibited deeds
Of conveyance dated as far back as 1927.
The claim Of the two Porters was tried
before the County Court last year and
rejected, when they appealed the case
to the Superior Court, where it remains.
In the mean time. the other party in in>
terest, being satisfied Of fraud, began to
search for the evidence. and having OBJ
tanned it. the charges of perjury. and for
gerry were made out as above stated
Mr.. Judd, a young lawyer formerly Of
Syracuse, but now clerk in one Of the
Departments at Washington. testified
that he drew the deeds OF conveyance,
though they were not signed in his pres
ence. The labor was performed in Syr-
acuse in the year 1913! 1t will be re-
membered that the Porters claimed that
the property was conveyed TO them in
1887, which it will DO seen was eieuess
years before the deeds were drawn by
Judd. This, with other like testimony,
was deemed sufficient cause by the JUS
tice for binding the accused over for trial
on the charges named. 1t is supposed
by some that the father, Jesse Porter,
has been TO some extent the dupe of his
son. The old man appeared much affect
ed during the investigation and @ept like
child. He is said to be worth from
sos, 900 to $4,000. His son. Dennis,
has not a good reputation. He is the
person who was placed under bonds for
trial few years ago, on a charge Of OBJ
tanning by theft aud otherwise a large
amount Of copper in Waterbury. He
avoided trial By FORGETTING his bonds. IS
he viii probably do in the present case.

No period since the commencement fthe
world, has been productive ofso important
discoveries as this. The most wonderful
results of human intellect have been wit
messed, and the grandest conceptions OF
genius realized. The mind of the world
has run into scientific investigation, and the
strangest achievements have been perfected.
Previous to the commencement Of the
present half century, there was not a single
steamboat, and the application of steam to
machinery was thing practically unknown.
Fulton launched his first steamboat 10 1907.
Now there are three thousand or more
trayersing the waters of America. Ia 1900
there was not single railrOadin the world.
Now in the United States alone there are
upwards of nine thousand miles of railroad,
costing two hundred and eighty six millions
of dollars. The locomotive now travels in
as many hours, distance which previously
required as many days to accomplish. In
1908 it took two weeks to convey intelli-
gence to New OrleansI now it can be trans
mitted in as many minutes, through the
electric telegraph, which only had its be-
ginning in ls43. Voltaism was discovered
in March 1900; the electro. Inagnetin 1921.
Electro tipping was discovered but few
years since. Hoes printing press, capable
of printing ten thousand impressions in an
hour, is a very recent discovery, but ola
most important character. Gas light was
unknown in l600-while now every city
and town of any pretensions is lighted with
it-and we have the announcement of a
still more extraordinary discovery. by which
light, heat, and motive power, may be pro-
duced from water, with scarcely any cost.
Daguerre communicated to the world his
beautiful invention in 1889. Gun cotton and
chloroform, are discoveries of but recent
date. Astronomy also has added q number OF
new planets to the solar system. AgricuD-
tural chemistry has enlarged the domain OF
knowledge in that important branch OF sci
entifc research-and the mechanic arts
have increased the facilities for production
to an amount far transcending the ability of
united manual effort. The triumphs thus
achieved, altogether are enough to mark
this age as the one which has pre-eminent-
~ contributed to augment personal COM
forts, enlarge the enjoyments, and add to
the blessings Of man.

Ecclesiastical Architecture.

The improvements in architectural taste
is rapidly developing, while the descendants
of the puritans retain the invincible love of
liberty and independence, which has mark
ed this class of opinions from the time of
Hampton and Sidney, and given birth to
the most exalted specimen of human gov
ernment. They have abandoned the rigid
and austere manners Of the first genera
tons, and added to the purity oftheirprin-
ciples, taste and refinement.
The examples Of Church Buildings ofthe
last seventy years, have been lamentable
and often ridiculous-violations of all orders
of architecture, and Heterogeneous combina-
tons of individual conceptions, odious to the
practiced eye.
We have been led to these remarks by
accidentally being in KENT, and looking at
the Congregational Church erected during
the last year. The exterior is the most
prominent feature in lovely andquiet vale.
1t is mi.gothic, with the acute and trun>
eated towers and pointed arches of that
style, with rectangular windows and doors,
unadorned, emblematic of the simple and
unsophisticated spirit of the puritan faith.
The interior does not rise to the magnii>
cenceyof cathedral grandeur, but it has an
inyiplate keeping Of subdued solemnity
cougenial TO pure, humble and simple wor-
ship. It has been erected at an expense of
about $1,000, including the furniture Of
chaste and appropriate patterns. Its organ
has great compass and harmony of tone
the donat on of lady of New York, ma
tive of the village; its form is in unison
with the general character of the interior.
The whole evinces pure and refined taste,
that gratifies the observer the more, from
rising unexpectedly in a remote coun>
try village, Us the diamond flashes the more
intensely amid the rough and rugged bed
Of its nativity. Itsstructure was con6ded to
P. w. Mills and j. M. Raymond, Esqs. and
others. who, with just appreciation of its
excellence, in genilemanly and urbane
manner crafty the visitor with aview Of its
,symetries.
| Kent seems to the man Of business to
| wear forbidding aspect; yet there exist
points of observation exhibiting landscapes
of singular sublimify and beanty-with its
tranquil river, its broad alluviol meadows, its
thrifty village in the foreground, and its
majestic mountain outline in the perspec-
tive. The lover Of natural scenery finds
in few places in Connecticut, moro to adj
mire and venerate.
The railroad running through the place,
gives the pent>up citizen an easy opportu-
nifty to enjoy the two great elements of New
England health and happiness, pure water
and mountain air. If any congregation in
the county are about to erect a house of
worship, an examination of the Kent Con-
gregational Church is earnestly recon-
mended. w,

South Canaan.

Mr.. Kil6ourne-A year or two ago'
you requested, for publication, list Of the
aged persons in the several towns Of the
county. Such list was prepared for this
town. That for the North Society was
found to be incomplete, andt there was delay
that it might be perfected. But, SO far as
know, it has not been finished. send you
the list which was prepared for South Ca
naan, separating those who have since died,
from those who are yet living, giving the
ages of the living as they were then ascer-
tanned or supposed to be, and the ages of
the dead as they were ut the time Of their
death.
twill serve to show how fast the fathers
and mothers are passing away. and how
soon they must ''set their houses ir order $"
how soon also the duties OF the young to the
aged must be performed, if ever performed.
The Formulation Of South Canaan is about

Singular Discovery of Stolen Jeaoe!ry.
We learn from the Pottsville Pa. Journal
that on Thursday last, while some children
were at play upon the hillside, near Fish
bauch, half mile from Pottsville, one Of
the number discovered small string fas-
tened to bush. His curiosity being ava
kened, the string was seized, and after pull
ing at it, he found that it became detached
from some object beneath the snow. Upon
an examination of the string, several gold
rings were found upon it, aud a slight search
enabled the children to discover an old
stocking, containing several hundred
dollars worth Of unfinished gold rings, PEN
ellis, chains, &C. In the vicinity another
string was found, fastened in the same
manner but leading off 10 different direc-
ton, at the end Of which was found large
amount Of jewelry, also unfinished. The
Journal thinks these articles came from
some large manufacturing house in Phila-
delphia or New York, and the spoil hidden
beneath the snow BY the party committing
the theft. and the spot designated by the
strings. so as to enable them to regain their
plunder at future day.
