Coughs and Colds Coughs and Gods
SEAsoNABLG ADVICE

Let no one neglect cold or slight cough. Thousands doing so, have had one cold ad led to another, until the mucous membrane lining tho air-passages, has become excessively irritntct', and even permanently thickcned, and soon chron- ic cough, chronic pneumonia and consumption succrssively gall"p along. The best time l." cure all this is when it begins If you are so f,mtu- nate as to possess a case of HuMpnREY's SPrcnlc HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIEs. and if you do not. you ought to at once take CouGH PILL. and then two or three pills per day, with care as to renewed exposure, will bring you all right ina day two. If yonr cough has got further along. then more care and more patience is necessary for a euro, though it lies in the same direction Our advice is, to keep the feet warm, the head cool and take HUMPHREYS HoMoEPArIiC CoUGH PILLS.

 MR. EDITOR, Dear Ssr :--The communication copied below was sent to the Winsted Herald, , for publication, but instead of inserting it, eds interested Editor treated his readers to the fol- lowing note ;-
 ANONYMOUS LErrERs.-The sending of anon ymous letters to editors, whether to abuse them or some one else, is mean, low-liyed, dirty business. The man who does it would rob the contribution-box of blind man if he had the chance. That is our opinion of the skulking knayes.
 l submit it to you whether there is any thing abusive in the letser-anyth which Journal conducted by pure-minded young man ought to refuse to publish from subscriber. We, of this town, are sorry you have concluded to have no more to say about our paper and its Editor, for we thought you were engaged in good work and did it we'll. Good Editors, who labor for the

The Campaign.


 The Spring campaign is now vigorously and suspiciously opened. Both tickets are in the field. The one representing the principles of the Union, the Constitution and the enforcement of the laws the other representing and acceding to .he States Rights doctrine, secession, and gen. er.l disin,ergrasion of our Federal Government, and a reconstruction on a pro-slayery basis,
 There are but two issues to be met, unionism and Disuuionism. There is no third party. The remnant ef the third party of las. autumn, is merged on eae side or the other of these two is- sues. The issues themselves arc plainly set forth in the platform of the Republican party on the oos side, and the resolutions passed at the Dem Ocratic State convention on the other.
 We do not misrepresent either, when we state that their sum and substance is declared in these two plain points For the Union and the Con- stitutiou as it is-and against it.
 We may go even further with truth, and state that the Democratic party and press of this State are even ripe for the consideration of the recon ssruction of the Union.
 Reconstruction will be their watchword-if, by their malign and tratorous efforts, the people fail to sustain the present Union and Government.
 RECONSTRUCTION First tear down and then rebuild. Do the traitors suppose that this Union can be reconstructed If once it is destroyed ?- The issues are with tic people, A week from next Monday they will be called upon to decide between them- Are they ready for! the question: We are sure the people of this county are. Will they vote to endorse the Democratic resolutions ofthe right of State Sovereignty, in opposition to the federal government the right of TREASON -or the Republican platform, which declares that we have government, and will maintain it?
 We all remember when the battle ragged the 6ercest last year, and when the Democratic pa. pers were reeking with the lies of the desperate politicians who were seeking to overthrow the Republican supremacy in this State, and were preparing the country for the reasonable condi tion of things in which they have thrown tn, country now-that voice was heard from tn, old Granite State, that rcveberated through tht heart of this commonwealth, and inspired our for ces to renewed efforts, which were crowned wit triumphant success. New Hampshire has spoke againi New England is yet in solid phalan against the slavery propogandists.
 Every member of Congress, but one from Mas sachusetts, chosen, is a Republican.
 Shall Connecticut falter now, especially wher the issue is more plainly, andev directly, before her, of Union and peace-or revolution and anar chy?
 A thousand times NO Every one of our pses ent able standard bearers in Congress will be sent back to represent us again, and William A. Buckingham at the helm of the old State, we shal yet see these troubles quieted, and peace and plenty be once more restored to our great and powerful, undivided Union.

 s0r On Wednesday, February 2Oth, furious gale swept over London and the surrounding country. In fact, it amounted to perfect hur. riance, and great was the consternationg caused by the falling of stacks of chimneys, walls, palisades, and everything which saoree1 butt to the wind and was not of sufficient strength to re- sist its violence. The houses in the more expos. cd situations were shaken to their foundations, much to the terror of the inhabitants. A large destruction of property is reported. The north wing of the Crystal Palace at sydenaam was to. tally destroyed.
 In Worcestershire and Worcestershire the loss or property was very great Trees in hundreds were thrown down, and many houses were m. rooted.

WoODBURY.

WUOUbUh1.
 +: The tenth lecture in the Monumental course wss expected to have been delivered by Hon. G. H. Hollister, of New York, on Monday evening. On account of sickness he was unable to fulfill his appointment, and at the last moment, Win. Cothren, Esq was called on to supply the va cancy. He introduced his lecture by few pre- liminary remarks, stating that it was always un- fortunate for speaker to be called on to fill the place of another, as the audience might not have attended except for the prestige of the ether, but as his Woodbury auditors knew he was not given to make excuses he would proceed to his subject without further introduction. The learn- ed lecturer took for his subject " Law and Law yers, with consideration of the popular notions sanlzssssrrers ssnesAning theuf.''A z
 After brief, pertinent, and eloquent allusion to the state of our national affairs at the present time, which was exceedingly we'll received by the audience, he proceeded to his subject under these heads: 1st, What is law? 2d, What was its origin? under which he advanced new and original views. Sd, The necessity of the profess sion of lawyers. 4th, Their high standing and influence 9th, Popular prejudiccs in regard to them, which he very eloaucntly refuted. It wss was the first time we ever heard of this subject being addressed to Premiseuoas audience, and the lecturer handled it to the entire satisfaction of the large, attentive, and intelligent audience that listened to tho learned and eloquent orator of the evening. No lecture of this very inter esting course has given better satisfaction, as was testified by tho unanimous rising of the au- dience at the close in honor of the speaker.
 The next lecture will be delivered by Hon CnarIes Chapman, of Hartford, on Monuay, rns 25th, at 8 o'clock, P. M Subject-The Bar and Legal "Reminiscences.

SIXTEENTH DIsTRIcr.-we are glad to notice from our report of the doipgs of the Senatorial Convention of the 16th District that the Hox. A. B. MYaArr was so unanimously selected as tbe candidate of the Republicans forthe post of Sem ator from that district.
 Mr. Mygatt filled that position last year hon. orsbly to himself and creditably to his constitu- ency. He is one fthe most enterprising, ener- getic and liberal-minded men in this district, and is corrsspondingly popular with all classes. The Democrats have nominated Glover Sanford of Bridgewater as his competition, an open and avowed Seeessionist, we learn from good author ity-and man who has frequently declared that secession is not only not unreasonable, 9 but RIGHT.
 Tho voters of the Sixteenth district have their choice between these two men. Which will they take?
