1t has been said that "this Is an age of
progress"-lhat this is great country"
-and that " Connecticut IS the land of
steady habits" 1--we consider few facts
we shall undoubtedly conclude that these
assertions no longer hold true or that
progress, greatness. and steady habits, are
in this State practically represented by the
terms Crcuses, Licenses, and Drunken =
ness. The peorle have asked for law TO
prevent the sale of intoxicating liquor !;
statistics have shown to all those doubting
minds which common cause had not pre-
viousIy enlightened, the necessity Of such
law !; and the very land cries for such a
law. What is the RESULT The Circus j.!
We asked for fish and they gave US a
serpent. The circus itself may not be
productive of evil. but it's contingencies are
only evil. It canno, be doubted that more
than ten times the ordinary amount of IL
quor is sold in the region Of circn ses that
men who would have been sober at home
are drunk at the circus hence, that in
each case there follows the usual train of
ills, and that we have this new and strong
temptation, after we have asked for re-
straint, and after wa have seen the work =

Fatal ARRAY I'm Salisbury.

For several days past, there have been
flying rpmors respecting collision be-
tween some persons In Salisbury apd the
men attached to Welyh's CIRCUS. A

also all was quiet. with the exception Of

which hay-mow in one Of the barns
where the circus horses were kept, was
discovered to be on fire. The destruo-

Immediately thereppon, q controversy

OF the circus company, the men belong.
ing to that establishment rushed into the
room armed with clubs and stakes, and
commenced dealing their deadly blows
upon any who might come in their way
while others outside STOOD ready to seize
or knock down any who should attempt
to escape. During this time there were
in and about the hotel many respectable
AND peaceable citizens; and with them
also was lad about fifteen years OF age
named Abram Qstrander, Ir., who it ap-
pears had been asleep in a chair in the
bar-room. While in the chair be was

A Sad Providence Improved.

BURNT ING OF THE STEAMER HENRY CLAY
J Among those lost at the recent bum
ing of the steamboat Henry Clay, on the
Hudson. were Mr.. William III. Ray
his wife and child, of this city. They
were members Of tho Second Preshyte-
rian Church, Intelligence Of the death
of a promising brother Of Mr.. Ray, also
a member Of the same Church, had been
received here only the day before. The
sad providence was profitsbly improved
by the Rev. y. w. Fisher. in his sermon
on Sabbath morning last, the closing
portion Of which we are permitted to
transfer to our columns. The subject Of
the discourse was. "Qivine Providence
manifested 10 the calamities Of life."--
Ed. Herald. ....
The events Of the past two weeks give
to these less ons wonderful significance.
Our own church has been afflicted with
the judgments Of God. 1t is but few
weeks ago that Mr.. Lemuel B. Ray. one
Of the young and promising members Of
this church, returned to visit his fathers
house in LitchGeld, Connecticut. He
left in comparatively good health, altho'
for the past two years his strength had
been not q little impaired by disease.
He sought to recruit amid the bracing
air and quiet scenes Of his own home.
He left his class in the Sabbath school,
his place in the prayer-roon, his seat in
the sanctuary, hoping in few weeks to
return to them again. But God, in that
wise providence which it is not for us to
supervise. had otherwise determined.
Even at that fathers house, in the health
al air Of his native hills, surrounded with
all the inspiring associations Of childhood.

Of fever, death attacked the fount Of life,

We had not yet begun 10 recover from
