A WORD TO PARENTS ABOUT

ROBERlS COLIC MIXTURE FOR INFANTS
 We, as sole agents for supplying the Trade, will take the liberty of saying, that from our own per sonal experience and knowledge ROBERTS COLIC MIXTURE FOR INFANTS is one of the most valu- able preparations for the purpose for which it is in- tended, that we are acquainted with. We have used it for years in our own families and recommend it to connections. friends and ncghburs It is very prompt ill aitordng relief and is decidedly pre- terablc to all other preparations of the kind from the fact that it does not produce those very deeterios consequences that follow the exhibition of other remedies containing Paregorc, Laudanum Godfrey's, Cordial &c The practice of dosing children and infants with strong cpiates cannot be too strongly condemned, and when the practice shall have been done away with there will be less of mortality among them, and instead of weak, sicky cross and puny- looking children, fat, chubby and laughing little faces will greet every side In families where remedies of the kind obliged to be resorted to- we would advise trial of this one

Heavy Dedication.

There has been large dedication in the Union Bank, New York, of which Mir. Frederick Deming, formerly of this village, is the President It seems by the statements which we find in the New York papers, that this Bank notwithstanding the general impression, doubtless we'll founded, regarding the vigilance of its officers, is nevertheless able like other similar institutions, to meet with financial mishaps, and hold among it's employees interruptions and dishonest men. The defaulting and fugitive ook-keeper had been employed in that institution for period of thirteen years, during all that time enjoying the utmost confidence of his employers So far appears, he lived in plain, modest way, suited to his means, and made no attempt whatever to cut figure in the world. Indeed although repu- ted to be of frugal habis it would appear that his income did not suffice to enable him to pay his debts as he frequently dunned for small amounts even up to the day of his disappearance.
 few days previous to the discovery of his fraud- ulent entries he was discovered the gaming house of q person named Blackman, at the corner of Ann street and Broadway. He was observed by Officer Eecfe, who, attracted by his reckless conduct at play inquired who he was and learned that he known there as |" Bob of the Union Bank" O'Keefe took occasion next day to advise the officers of the Bank of the fact but as he did not Brotherson, and no person there was known by the name of
 Bob," no further notice was taken of the matter.
 The frauds on the Bank were detected on Monday last. Before Mir. Brotherson arrived at the Bank, MT. Arthur thacashieF found 1t necessary to refer to his books as his accounts did not balance by SGOO, to see how the error occurred In drumming over the book keepers accounts he discovered false entries to the amount of ss, ,5OO While this examination was progressing, Brotherson came in, and saw at once that something vas wrong. Feigning sickness, he withd9ew. and since that time has not been seem Further investigation of his accounts showed more extensive frauds and at length the officers of the Bank sent for Gilbert Hays the detective, attached to tho Clearing House, and gave the case into his hands,
 The search of the books, up to our last accounts, shows < Loss to tho Bank of sls6 900 And connect with the dedication one Jacob H. Mott, man of wealth. living in grand style in the upper part of tho city.
 It is stated by the Tibune that the transactions were effected thus
 Mir. Mott would make his deposits with the Re ceying Teller ; the Teller's minutes were handed to Mir. Brotherson, who, instcad of recording them cor rcctly, would enter to Mr. Mott's credit perhaps vice that sum- and Mir. Mott drew his checks upon inc Bank accordingly. y

 WHEnEAs,-The Founders of the American Re. public contemplated Government under which man and labor should be free, as shown not alone by declarations on every page of our earlier his- tory, but by positive acts of Legislation, and WhEREAs,-Ihe Democratic party in it's late con- troi of the National Government has turned it from its original purpose to render it subservient only to the interests of 'servile system, dis eliminating against the manufacturing and com mercial interests of the entire North, spreading sentiments of disafection and dsunion through all sections of common country, with no better re- suits than the increase of sectional power, and the extension and prepetuation of civil wrong and national disgrace. Therefore,

Religious,

The work of God seems to go nightly from ono place to another, producing marvellous changes of heart and life in men seemingly the most depraved Among the converts in New York is the notorious bully and prize fighter known Awful Gardner He had thlce men training for a prize-fght, whom he is trying to persuade to give up fighting and embrace religion His earnesness and sincerity are undoubted The account which he gives of his reli- gons experience is almost singular as that of the conversion oi Saul of Tarsus.
 The Hartford Press, whose summary of religious news is prepared with admirable and spirit, speaks thus of the work in Hartford
 We have before spoken of the exceedingly qniet manner in which the work began in this city, spontaneously arising among the people without the aid of any of the ordinary stimulants. It was not "got ap.' 1t came morning breaks in the east Similar features mark it elsewhere The old machinery is discarded in a great measure, and the ma, ter taken hold of in straightforward common sense way. We do not hear ofimportun- ate appeals to |" rise for prayer,' to " come to the altar.' There is no paradng of classes or exultation over proselytes gained. Denomination al perjudices are in a great measure broken down. The most deeply interesting meetings in this city are the "union meetings" in which BaPtists. Coneregationalists and Methedists participate in ihe spirit of the genuine democracy of the New r. About fortnight since union daily prayer meet inos began In the Pearl street lecture room, open ing at l.2 P. M. and continuing one hour Soon two rooms were filled: then the church over- flowed, and now they are held daily at the Center and Pearl street lecture rooms
 similar daily union prayer meeting is held in the Central Baptist Church, Norwich.
 DR.. TAYLOR AND DIR. CROSWELL.
 We have to chronicle the decease of these two en- inent clergymen of New Haven, whose dangerous sickness was mentioned in our last
 Naf Taylor n n DviChf sor of Didactic Theology in Yale College, died at New Haven on Wednesday morning last. He was born in New Milford Conn in 1786, and died in the I'd year of his age. He graduated at Yale College in 1907, and after residing about two years in the family of Dr. Dwight he ordained pastor of the first church of Christ in New Haven. The Theolog- ical Department of Yale College founded in 1922 and Dr. Taylor was appointed to the professorship, which he held until his death.
 The following just tribute to the character of this crest New England theologian, we take from an ex- tended notice in the Hartford Press
