 The Waterbury American gives the following ss first-rate notice" of Mr. L. W. Coe, who has lately removed to Wolcottville from Waterbury, to take charge of the large brass mill at the former place. which we gladly transfer to our columns.
 [. ". Coz, Ese.-This gentleman, who for many years past has been at the head of one of the largest of our brass mills, we regret to learn, personally speaking, is about to change the base of his operations, having with ethers, after some negotiation, purchased the large brass mill at Wolcottville. During MT C's residence here he has gained an influence in the place by his superior business talents, his public spirit, and well l-known liberality which are the best kind of capital to ensure success and esteem. The management of the newcon- ccrn will devolye upon Mir. Coe, and twill not be his fault if it's business dees not prove prosperous and satisfactory Wolcottville will gain an excellentci tcitizen, while Waterbury will miss QReewhoss place will not readily bs sup- piled.

SHARON.

The decease of Major Chauncey Pardee, witch is noticed in the obituary column of this paper, reminds us of the near extinction of name in Sharon, which was formerly very common there. Among the first proprietors of the town, more than one hundred and twen- ty years ago, was Lieut.. John Pardee, who re- moved from Norwalk, and became large land holder in sharon. He had six sons, to wit, John. James. Moses, George, Thomas, and Jehiel, all or whom settled in Sharon and had farms and families. Forty years ago the name was more common in Sharon than that of any of the first settlers of the town. Ma jor Pardee was descendsntof Jehiel and his death leaves but ene person bearing the name in the town. and he is . bachelor, more than seventy years of age.
 The Rev. MT. Mead, who has ministered to the Methodist Church for the last two years, has been succeeded by Rev. Mir. Ferris, who entered upon the duties of his ministry last Sabbath.

 A worthy citizen of New Hartford (says the Winsted Hsrald,) became so excited on the sugar question recently as to tap telegraph pole which stood in front of his premises, in stead of an adjacent maple. The boys of the neighborhood assisted in manufacturing . small quantity of sap to match, and one indi- vidual at least, believes devoutly in tapping the telegraph.

COURT RECORD.

SUPREME CoURT.-Only three of the eight cases which were argued before the Supreme Court of Errors, last week, have as yet been decided. That of Webster vs. Peck, in favor ofdefendant. judgment of Superior Court af- frmed Hunt vs. Mansfield, for the Pl'ff, "manifest " error" and State vs. Edgar L. Peck, non Jurisdiction of the Superior Court
 In the case of Hunt vs Mansfield, the real defendants were H. Landon & Co. The case was one of considerable importance, and we gave it somewhat an extended notice in the Court below, when it was decided in favor of Landon & Co. The case involved the title to the Luther Munson property in the town of North Canaan, and has been fought with great spirit through the Courts on the part both of the parties and counsel. The PPf, has at length, by this last decision, come out the victor. For Prf, G. w. Peet and Granger j; for Deft's, Hubbard and Warner.
 The court meets on Monday next at New Haven, when it will probably render further decisions in the eases argued here last week.
 
 morning, and was engaged Tuesday and Wednesday in the trial of the case of Camp & Woodford, Trustees, vs. Oaks Ames. The case, in brief, is based on the following grounds - MT. Ames held claim against one Douglas of New York, who turned over some property in Seymour, called the Seymour Augur Works which a Mir. Wales French had charge of as Superintendent. Mir. French, after this time bought of Camp & Woodford, Trustees of the Auger Co.,, at Winsted, some $1, 400 worth of Augers, which he took to his shop in Seymour to finish, and which he failed to pay for. Tho trustees now sue MT. Ames for the debt as principal for French. The defense claim that French was in no way the agent of Ames, but that he was still the agent of Douglas, and do- ing business in his name. The case closed yesterday noon, and Judge Butler reserved his decision. For Plff, Hall for Delft, N. J. Buel

Both parties reside in the Town of Warren, and plaintiff, (who is woman) ayers that she was struck by the defendent, with a horse whip, three times over the head, while | she was standing by the roadside. the def't Hayes being upon horseback.

 B9 If there is any one thing more than an- other, in this world of tolls and trials, which we dislike to do, it is to dus anybody, even for our honest dues. Overcoming this scruple in a measure, we take the liberty from time to time of enclosing various little 6ills of our subscribers indebtedness to us, as gentle re- minders of their debt, and to whose careful and serious attention we bespeak their recep- tion. As a general rule, we believe no paper in the State is so free from non-paying patrons as is our own. We do not always rigidzy en- force the advance system, as we might do, for the sufficient reason that our subscribers are so trustworthy, as general thing, and do pay up sooner or later. But the life of a ne wspa- per business, in these times, especially, is the psomptness with which it's debtors cancel their indebtedness and remit the amounts due the printer. It is the easiest and most natural thing in the world to let these little accounts run along" from day to day, and month to month but we beg of these few delinquents to that . newspaper couldn't run along ong, if all of its subscribers ran so long with put paying up. We might add word of en- luiry to those who read an unpaid paper from week to week, as to the state of tn cir pro. oundest feelings?-but we forbear. We've done.

nss- The Waterburv. Amariean .is s,after,'

x p6- The Waterbury American is s,after'' the New Heven Register huge, on the "consti- tutional' question. It says
 ..There is vast difference between tbe fair diseussion of Governmsntal measures and . threatened resistance of the sane. as enuncia- ted in the Hartford Convention platform. Nor iss 1t for that convention to decide what is or what IS not Constitutional that is for . high CT power to decide. State rights cannot over- rideIthe Constitution, or palliate resistance to the supreme laws of the land, under the cover. of it's alleged infraction. The Constitution. ever since our day, has been the bone of par
 tlsan contention by the South, whenever it's demagogues had any sinister designs to carry E-but that instrument still lives, while the
 States who had such . pretendcd reverence for
 the Constitution are now in arms against the
 Government. Put down the rebellion and the Constitution will take care of itself What
 has the Register done to strengthen the Gov ernment or aid in the prosecution of the war
 On the contrary has it not sought to embar- rass the administration, which of course gives I aid and comfort to the enemy, as their own papers admit. .sThe Register does, not hold that the South had any Constitutional Govern ment." Very well, then, why not make war upon the rebels, who have forfeited all claims upon the Constitution, instead of warning with the only Constitutional Government There's the rub. And until the Register chan ges it's course. its wailing about the Constitu-
 tion amounts to nothing more than sounding
 brass anda tinkling oymbal,"
 "Father Cooke is good deal too many for
 ssthe Major" Besides, he has got 'sthe right
 fit" What ridiculous farce this is, a cop
 perhead talking about the "Constitution," :"
 when they would treat so gingerly those men whe have conspired to overthrow the Consti- tuition of the United States, and wage to-day the most villainous war upon the Government, on this very point. Vallandigham, Wood. Seymour (Tom), and the New Haven Register are fierce eons,ilutionaiists, if anything can be nootsd to injure the constitution of Jeff Davis @. Well, Uncle Sam has taken care of Valiandigham now, the people of this State ! took care of Tom Seymour early last month, Wood is taking care of himself somewhere
 among the Five Points, in New York, and we
 will leave Father Cooke, and public opinion to take care of the harmless. and we might
 say brainless, Major. The ssConstitution of
 the United States' will be taken care of, and will triumph over all it's enemies, North and South, long after the names of every traitor
 we hear of now shall be lost in the unutterable odor which will attach itself to their short
 lived memory

The President said to Gen. Hooker:
 know that the country will hold me re- sponsible for the result of the spring campaign, but you are the commander of this Army, and you ought to know better than how and when and where it shall fight-and am determined to adhere to resolution formed when made you its commander therefore you shall have your own way, and will hold you responsible.

FROM EuRoPE-The steamship Etna, from
 Liverpool on the 22d ult., and Queentown on the 23d, arrived at New York, Monday. Her advices are four days later. The excitement
 in England regarding the interference of American cruisers with the Matamoras trade, and the permit granted to steamer by Minis ter Adams, continued. In the House of Com mons, information had been asked regarding MT. Adams course. Mr. Layard said the question was under advisement, but no com munication had beon made to Mir. Adams. Nr. Roebuck wished information regarding the of Admiral Wilkes, and the course the Government intended to pursue 1; but Lord Palmerston did not intend to give it It is stated in reference to the rebel gun5oat Alexandra, that her owners and builders would prebabiy in few days be before the local magistrates on the charge of designing to infringe the Foreign Enlistment act.

This report, however. is considered of dubious character. There is no definite intelligence regarding the Polish revolution.

B& England, is the England repre- sented by the London Tsmes-is in an awful foment just now, over 2 letter of Minister Ad- ans, giving safe conduct to certain English traders with Mexico, and stating the fact that they are innocent of any contraband traffic, or attempting to run the blockade, and thus set ting the laws of Nations at defance-in case their vessel should be overhauled on it's pass age by any of our cruisers. A perfectly legit- innate letter for Mir. Adams to write, if he wish ed to, and the fuss made over it only shows the assinine ears of the clique, who are bound to drag England into war with us, if they can. We'll, let it come, if it must. Joe Hook CT is taking care of ''our southern friends' on the Rappahannock just now,-and there will be enough left at the North to take equally good care of :. our English cousins" in case they want to "brush in''
 This is the innocent letter:
 LEGATION or THE UNITED STATES, s LONDON. April g. . Amid the multitude of fraudulent and dis honest enterprises from this kingdom to Inf nish supplies to the rebels in the UniHd States. through the pretense of . destination to some port in Mexico, it gives me pleasure to distinguish one which has different and creditable purpose. Messrs Howell & Zirman have furnished me with evidence which is perfectly satisfactory to me that they arc bound to Matamoras with cargo intended for the Mexicans. therefore very cheerfully give them this certificate at their request. It is not the disposition ofthe Government of the United States to interfere in any way with an honest neutral trade. and it is deeply to be regretted that the frauds which have been so extensively praetised in this country have contributed so much to throw it under sus- picion.

CLEMENT CopPERHEAD VALLAND1eHAM has come to grief. He was arrested on Tuesday morning of this blessed week, at his residence at Dayton, Ohio, by a squad of soldiers, who went up from Cincinnati the night before The telegraph states that the soldiers were obliged to batter down two or three doors ofhis house, before they could reach his room and take him. His copperhead friends then rung the ire-bells and called out the people, when an attempt was made to rescue him, which miserably failed. At last accounts he was at Cincinnati. en route, probably, for Lafayette. This is ths last we shall hear of this traitor, we trust, till the end of the war, if we don't hear of his end sooner.
