WATERBURY. Dec. 9th, 1854
Whereas at the semi-annuai meeting of the
Connecticut Newspaper Association, held At
Norwich, on the 18Th day Of October Ias., in
consequence of the heavy losses yearly by the
newspaper press of this State by bad debts up
on their subscription books and by irresponsible
transient advertisers "a committee of cores
pondence was appointed on behalf of the Ass =
citation to confer by letter with every newspa-
per publisher in ihis State upon the -exped:e ncy
Of simultaneously adopting the ca-h principle BY
requiring psymen, in advance sin all cases Of
subscriptions ercept city or uiage subscribers and
transient aduertising" and after the 6rst of
January 1855:
And, whereas, in accordance with the said
vote the committee of correspondence has for.
warded circulars of inquiry to every newspaper
IN the State, from most OF whose proprielors re-
plies have been received expressive of their
readiness to enter upon The proposed arrange
ment at the time above specified:
Ii therefore devoives upon the President of
tie Association to promulgate the result of The
coiresp ondence held with the various publishers
through it's committee. and to give notice TO all
whom 1t may concern that the publishers Of the
various newspapers in this State. on and after
the first Of February. 1855, mutually agree TO ex-
act upon transient Advertisements and all sub
scriptions expiring at the time and subsequently
except city or village subscrip; ions-payine
in adUance. This obligation does not, however,
apply 10 one or two papers that ask more time
Tor consideration. Per order of Conn. Newspaper

MORE FARaERs NEEDEp.-The PhiIadel-
phia Ledger attributes many of the preva-
lent social troubles to the disproportion exis-
ting between the consuming and producing
classes-between the urban and agricultural
populations. 1t says:
For several years, there has been con-
centration of people to the cities at the ex-
pense of the rural districts. The great
towns, especially the Atlantic ones, have
grown with almost morbid rapidity, while
the farming counties. especially at the East,
have increased but little comparatively
The numbers of those who consume food
have been increasing out Of proportion to
those VINO produce it.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

The FIRST train of cars ON the Hartford,
Providence and Fishkill Railroad entered
Waterbury on Wednesday evening of last
week, and trains will soon run regularly
making an uninterrupted line of railway
communication from the city of Provi-
deHce via. Hartford to Waterbury, dis
lance of I20 miles.
The road was to have been opened on the
Saturday previous, but the condition of the
ground and disturbance among the labor
ers caused the detention; a company of riot
ers having driven off the men who were
grading the road below Plymouth. Sheriff
Vessels went down to the scene of riot,
dispersed the mob, and the work went on
further difficulty.

lengthy-occupying some Ave or six hours.
Ne'0toa Chapman VS.. Loring Bartlett.-

CATHOLIC DlrFrcuLrY.--New Years day

CATHOLIC DIFFicULrY--New Years day
Mrs. Parmely, wife of the Albany, N. Y.
Mayor, visited their Aims House, and dis
tributed some moral books and tracts to tho
number Of some $50 among the poor children.
Four Cath Ollie teachers who were permit
mitted to instruct those of their creed in the
House, coming in soon after, violently took
away all the books, as "heretical," burned
most of them, and when called 10 an account
as they soon were by the Superintendent,
gave him up only 26. Great excitement
was felt among the citizens. The Commit
tee of the Common Council have now pass
ed a resolve forbidding any future visits Of
teachers Of that sect until ample apology 10
made.

BosroN CoRSER.-This noted resort for
duellists and prize-fghters has lately been
set off from Berkshire county to the State of
New York. Most of the territory lies on
the west side of the Taughkanic mountain,
and is inaccessible, except by footmen, and
of very little value. Prize-6ghters meet
here because they are out of the reach of the
officers and public authorities ofMassachu-
sets, by reason of this impossible mountain,
and are also without the jurisdiction of
New York.
The Boston Atlas thus facetiously an
nounces the loss of the territory:
The State of Massachusetts has been en-
smalied, while the State of New York has
been enlarged. Eighteen hundred of her
ancient acres have been sliced from our ven-
cradle Commonwealth, and given to the be-
fore gigantic New York. TO him that hath
shall be given. Yet this was precious soil,
for it had been crimsoned with the blood,
not Of martyrs iadeed, but of Morrissey and
Sullivan. Boston Corner is gone, but let
the enemies of Massachusetts know that
Boston itself stands firm.
Litchfield enquirer., 1855-01-11

New IoRK LEslsLAruRE.-This body
convened on the first Instant, and Governor
Clark delivered his message, which is 4
very long document. 1t represents the fl
nances as not in very flourishing condition.
There was deficit in the revenue last year,
and the amount received by the Stale did net
equal the amouat expended; there are sia,-
liar fears fer the coia,ng year. The revenue
from the Canal tolls has fallen of very
much The Governor speaks well OF all
the public institutions except the State PR
sons they are badly in debt and appear to
have been badly managed. He recommends
an alteration in the law allowing Fee Banks
10 base their circulation on Bonds aud Mort
cages, they having proved insufficient secu'
rules. He is in favor OF free schools sup
ported by taxation, and even goes so far as
TO recommend that Colleges aud High Aca'
denies like the Free Academy of New York
should be supported by taxation. He re'
commenjs TO abolish by penalties the Gus
tom Of selling s'stocks" TO be delivered a
some future day. His support Of Prohi-
bi.ory Liquor Law is strong aud ancondi.

MORE TERRIToRv.-It is said a treaty h&o
been concluded between our government
and that of Ecuador, whereby the latter
cedes to the United States the thirteen is
lands known as the Galapagos group, for
the sum of $3,OOo,O0O. The islands are
situated in the Pacific Ocean some 100 mics
off the South American coast; the largest
one, named Albemarle, is 80 miles in length
by Is miles in BREADTH They stand direct
ly under the equator, and it is said they have
1000 Craters, the highest of which reaches
an elevation of 1000 feet. The land is very
destitute Of springs, and rain scarcely ever
falls there. The Providence Journal, after
giving description of the islands, con-
cludes its article as follows:
"Taking the Galapagos as whole, with
their great sterility, their two thousand era
tiers Of volcanoes, active and extinct, the
vast fields of scoriae and black mud thrown
up from the bowels Of the earth, and their
general worthlessness in other respects, we
should consider that after paying Mexico
ten millions of dollars for the deserts of So
nora, three millions would be fair price
for these islands,
In the same article the Journal intimates
that Gen. Franklin Pierce, President of the
United States of America, does not know
mud from guano:
1t is said that there is great bed Of
guano in these islands. This cannot be 40,
as no mention of it is made by the scientific
men, who made pretty thorough examina-
ton of them. 1t is probable that the great
beds of volcanic mud and ashes are to be
palmed off on General Pierce for Peruvian
guano."

FIRE IN SHARON,

The dwelling-house of Ephraim Bennett,
in the north part of Ellsworth, was entirely
consumed by. fire on Friday afternoon last.
Mr.. B. had removed to New York State a
few weeks previous, and another family
took possession the first of last week. The
fire is supposed to have communicated from
the hearth to the woodwork adjoining,
while the new occupants were absent from
the house. None of the furniture was sa.
we'd, and there was no insurance.
