-SuzpAs Schooass- The Iitchheldp peoplsh have been favored with visit from Henry Clay Trumbull Esa, who is devoing himeelf with praise worthy and snc- cessful diligence. to the adyancements of sunday schools in Connecticut. Mr. Trumbull spoke on Sabbath afternoon in the Congregational Church to an interested and delighted audience. At o'clock he addressed the prisoners in the county jail, and was listened to with themost fixed and serious at. tention. In the evening he met number of the Teachers and friends of sunday schools at the Lecture Boom. Altogether, we believe that he has done good service here for the cause he has at heart.
 MT Trumbull is expected to speak at the Metho- dist Church on Mount Tom, next Monday at i o. clock P. M. Turn out, parents and children Turn out strong rain or shine, and give the Children's Friend hearty welcome!

We observe that the Connecticut journals of each party are accusing the adverse politicians of visiting low rum holes'' during the late canvass, and spending money therein literally for vile liquors, which were freely dispensed to influence votes. We do not know which set tells the truth but we pre- sume both do And this leads us to suggest that those "l low rum holes' ought to be broken up. They are nuisances-they are outlawed-why not abolish them? Temperance men of Connecticut l! you are shamefully recreant to your duty and your compatriots in other states. We in New York can not improve our laws against the Liquor traffic be. cause people say !" "What is the use? They have prohibtory laws in Connecticut and Rhode Island but they openly and universally disregarded and violated" If there ten earnest men in any Con- necticut township, we call upon them to put the law in force against these nuisances of grogshops Call upon the legislature to strengthen or to modify it, as experience shall suggest but, whatever the law may be. be sure that it shall be enforced and obeyed.-Tfi6une

 x DEATH or THE WIFE or SENATOR FosTER.-Under our obituary head will be found the death of Mrs. Layfette 5. Loster Mrs. Foster returned from Bos- ton on Fridsy evening, having been taken suddenly ill while there. The disease of which she died is supposed to be of the nature as that which has been prevalent for some weeks in the vicinity of Providence, and which has been called, for want of technical name, malignant pustuIe D The first
 indication of it's presence was in pimple upon the upper lip supposed at first to be a cold sore. On Friday, while engaged in making purchases in a store in Boston, she taken with faiting it. and upon recovering from it she expressed wish to re- turn home: Accordingly she returned with MT.
 Foster on Friday evening. and immediately after her arrival here, went to her room and her bed, from which she never rose again. The symptoms of her disease were not considered alarming until Sunday evening, and at abont four o'clock Monday morning she died. g.o ts es r9s. .
 Mrs. Foster was true, noble hearted. Christian
 woman. From her door no child of poverty ever went empty away and to her heart there never came "a vain appeal for sympathy. For the bereave hus- band there is but the single consolation that the hsrd that has been reached forth for her, and that has gathered in three of his jewels before her. can guide him safely through, until they all clasp hands once more in the company of the elect, in the City of their God-Norsrich Bsalein. .
