AN IMPORTANT TRUrH.-Nothins ran be more safe, congenial, or healing to the mem- branes of the Throat and Lungs, yet at the same time more energetic and horough in its effects than Dr. Rogers Syrup ef Liper- soort, Tar and Cdnchaiagua, that "great remedy" for the early stages of CONSUME ZION. Bronchitis, and all other diseases which have their seat in ille Lungs, Throat or Air Passages. It seems to fall like balm upon their irritated surfaces. The dry hack ing cough becomes loose, the corrupted mat ter which accumulates in and expresses the Lungs Is easily expectorated, while the tonic properties of the Medicine keep up the strength under the emuco-purulen, discharge. Iirerrort, Tar and Chanchaiagua, possess m their separate substances all the elements requisite for the cure of Coughs, Colds, and Diseases of the Lungs, and combined as they are, in skillful aud scientific manner by a regalarly educated Physician, the Preparation of which we are speaking be- comes almost irresisiibie.

History of Connecticut.

"The History of Connecticut, from the first settlement of the Colony to the adoption of the present Constitution" by cur fel ow- townsman. G. H. HoLLIsrER, Esquire, is now before the public. It is comprised in two splendid octave volumes, averaging nearly six hundred pages each. and is illus trated with seventeen portraits elegantly engraved on steel, embracing the likenesses of some of the most eminent statesmen, heroes and divines of our colony and State. The general appearance of the work is peculiarly attractive, and eursory exam ination of its contents, together with the acknowledged ability of the author, leave us no room to doubt that the history of our glorious little Commonwealth has been faithfully delineated by the author. MT. HolHster's style is clear ard comprehensive and has in it enough of the poetical element 10 relieve it from the tedium of common place narrative, without in any degree im- pairing the iidelity& of its minu,est details.
 
 With an enthusiastic love for his theme, he often throws around it charm of romantic interest, and almost compels the reader to admire the deeds and venerate the characters that have made our history what it is.
 The volumes before us fill an important void which has long been felt to exist, in the literature of our State and nation. The work of Dr. Trumbull, so valuable as a pioneer-narrative of many important events, professes to bring down our colonial history only to the year l762. Consequently, a most interesting period of our governmental existence has hitherto remained unwritten. MT. II. has not only thoroughly explored this unoccupied field of modern events, but he has gone over the entire range of our history for period of nearly two hundred years, examining new sources ofinformation and gleaning therefrom sundry facts here- tofore unknown or misapprehended.
 The new History has been looked for with interest for some time past, and we are sure the public will not be disappointed in it. 1t is a work which is calculated to reflect honor upon the author and upon the State. Every true-hearted son of Con- necticut who possesses the means should purchase copy.
 The work may be obtained of Messrs. Baldwin of this village, who are agents for Litchfeld and Hartford Counties.

 A STRIKING The New York Evougeiss closes an excellent article on Mormonism al the Salt Lake City, as fol- lows: &
 "Oneway or another, this anomaly in our country will be swept away. Such a disgrace cannot continue forever. The wave of population is rolling rapidly to the West, and will soon pass the crest of the Rocky Mountains. Then this heathen State will be shattered by the strong arm of shs Coverntnent, unless has already sunk into dissolution by its own vices"
 i" Its doom seems to be marked in tho very place where it stands. It Is fit that 'shis modern Sodom should rear its profane temple by the shores of the Salt Lake which is the Dead Sea of America l; ful sooner or later it will share the miserabl, fa.e,of the ancient cities of the plain"

DR. wHLIAaEw. WEIGH.

This gentleman is curcandidate for mem Der of Congress in this district, and will unite she great interests of this constituent cy. Mr. Welch has hsen long known and read ofailsmen. As gentleman he has no superior as man of integrity and sound political faith on the great questions that are agi.ating the public mind no man stands higher in the estimation of the people. He is the firm and staunch friend of freedom and human rights. He is American in his sentiments, and believes in fostering our own interests in preference to all others. Mir. Welch was the Whig candidate two years since, and though defeated, yet he ran largely ahead of his ticket, as he al- ways does when before inc people for their suffrage. He is emphatically one of the people in his feelings and sympa,hies, and will ably represent them in the next Con- gross if elected. Owing to local causes two years ago MT. Weleh did not get the vote in this town, that he was fairly and honor- ably entitled to; but we promise our friends to make amends this year in full, and to give him handsome majority even in this town. His re-nomination is but an act of justice-his triumphant election is not only due to him but to his constituents. We can confidently assure our friends that if they will do half their duty they can elect him by large majority. This county should give him 800 majority-he deserves it in an eminent degree; no man is more worthy of our hearty and united support.
 We are in receipt of good news from most of the towns in the county, and are satisfied that the people are thoroughly aroused to the importance of securing his election. .~ We are not prophet, but we are will ing to pledge our county in the support of Mr. W. by a majority of 800 votes. Will Fairfield do as muchl

Of these, there came from England, Wales and Scot land, 49,0o0; from Ireland, lOl ,6O5 from Germany, (not including Prussia,) 2o6,o ,o54. Nearly all of the whole number landed at New York. The year before, the whole number landed was 36s,643. In 1859, the number was 372,725, and in 1881, it was 439,437. The Irish immigration is not as great as it has been, owing to variety of causes, while the number from Germany is double that from Ireland.

 The Africa brought four days later news that the Emperor of Russia died of apo. plexy on Friday night, 2d, which receives general credence. The fact was announced in the English House of Lords on Friday night, by Lord Clarendon, and in the Com- mons by Lord Palmerston. Surmises were aaoat that he was assassinated, but it is thought that he died of apoplexy, after an att 'ck ofinfluenza. His illness was known Tn Engl land before the news of his death was received, and caused slight rise in the funds.

THE WAR.

What effect the death of Nicholas will have on the existing war it is impossible to predict with certainty, but from the warlike character given his successor we believe there is little to hope from his accession to the sovereignty. Notwithstanding treaties and conferences without number, it is stated that preparations for continuing the war were never carried on with more vigor in Russia than at the present moment. ~ Accounts state, too, that the new British Administration will prosecute the war with increased energy ,and we incline to this opin- ion for several reasons. If the allied army should now abandon the siege of Sebasto- pol, or bring the war to close upon any other than the most favorable terms, the result would be disastrous 10 both nations. The prestige of the English arms will have departed, and she will no longer occupy the same prominent position amcng the nations of Europe which she has so long maintain- ed principaily by the power of her "army and navy" On the other hand the throne of Louis Napoleon, which has scarce steadi- ed itself from the violent commotions amid which 1t was erected, in such an emergency as contemplated above. would trouble to its centre, if it did not actually crumble and bury kim in its ruins. We sec. no ai- formative with either ofslhese powers but s vigorous and energetic prosecution of the contest. They are in a bad condition, and We do not see how they arc to ex,rica,e themselves, unless the fortunes of War should reveal more than Is now visible,

E. We regret exceedingly that we are unable to announce the arrest of the fiend whose crime at Harwinton we noticed last week. The matter causes an intense ex- cltement in that and the adjoining towns and several Irishmen have been examined, but nothing elicited sufficient to warrant their commitment The Selectmen of tho town offer reward of $l50 for the arrest of the perpetrator, but we are much afraid tho brute will be shielded by his countrymen, as in other cases, and the ends of justice foiled. Should the authorities fail in experimenting him, We suggest that "SAM" take tho af- fair in hand, and with the aid of Judge Lynch, administer the punishment so richly deserved.
 A correspondent writes the inhabitants of Wocottville and vicinity held meeting on Tuesday evening, 18th instant, to take measures to detect and bring to justice the perpetrator of the recent outrage in Harwin- ton near that place.
 Nelson Alvord, Esq, was called to tho Chair, and T. c. Mailing appointed Secre- tary. On motion, committee of six was appointed to call on such number of persons as may be necessary to act as detective police to search suspected places and arrest suspected persons, that the perpetrator of said outrage may be brought to justice.
 The sum of SIooe was pledged as fund to be drawn upon to defray the expenses in- cured by said committee.
