witness was himself; hadn't given him any liquor Cross Examined Capt. Peck ask ed me if Burrtt had been on spree, and told him thought he had remarked to Peck that thought he ought to have something to warm him up.
 The evidence here closed, and Court adjourn ed until Friday morning.
 Friday morning: Court opened at 9o'elock. by agreement, Counsel on both sides submit tea the case to the Jury without argument. The Court, through Judge Dutton, charged the Jnry at considerable length, intimating to them very strongly,as the opinion of the Court, that this was case of manslaughter and that the Jury would not greatly err in SO decidino
 The Jury retired te their room after inc charge of the Court, and, after an absence of an hour and twenty minutes, returned with their verdict of 6 Guilty of fManslaughter."
 Upon motion of the States Attorney, the sentence of the Court was then pronounced by Judge Dutton. After stating to the prisoner in the most impressive manner, that the con, dition in which he was now placed was the re- suit of his own want of control of his appetite for liquor, and that he had very narrowly escaped, perhaps by want of little more pos- ltlve evidence, the highest penalty of the law, and warning the prisoner that the lesson taughth by his punishment, should he sur vlve his confinement in prison, ought to suffice to deter him from yielding again to an iRdul- gence of his appetite, the Court pronounced the highest penalty for manslaughtsr, that the prisoner be confined in the Connecticut State Prison for ten years and pay SIC fne
 During the delivery of this sentence the prisoner seemed visibly affected
 The prisoner was then remandsd to Jail. and on Tuesday was taken to the State Prison by Sheriff Peck

ELECTION. Large preparations were made Tor the Election Parade" and Inauguration o' the Governor and the new Legislature this week. and we presume, they were carried out successfully. The Governor and suite wer. received with great eclat on Tuesday, at Fast Haven, and escorted to New Haven by larye delegation of citizens of E. Haven m ounted on the time'honored steeds that have done like ser. vice for many and many years back. On Wednesday, the procession was upsualH larce and magnificent. The Governors Guord horse and foot, the Grays, Blues, Greens and Ysllows, City and Emmett Guards of New Haven, the veterans of the 9th Reeiment C. V" the Reserved and Invalid Corps, the Ar. t'llery Company from Waterbury, Infantry Companies from Hartford, Merideu and Der. by' with the Light Battery from Bridgeport all took part in the parade. Col. Cahill of the 9th 0. V. commanded the military l;ne and Ben. Moves was Chief Marshal. Alto gether, we suspect it was large time for New Haven' and were sorry we couldn't be there tc sce

Bss~ Our readers will find on the first page of this paper, an interesting letter from new correspondent, concerning matters and things at Alexandria, Va, in general, and our I.tch- field County Regiment in particular. Also, a curious "Synoptic Table of the 2d Conn. Ar tillery," which may be valuable for future re- ference. We are indebted to Lieut. D. c. Kill bourne, the distinguished Phantasmagorian of former times. for the table and the letter which accompanies it. Lieut.. K. also writes us that everything but Nature indicates big fight imminent. The weather is pleasant, peach and cherry trees in bloom, grass green and trees beginning toleare out.

THE SURRENDER OF PLYMOUTH, N. G., is confirmed, though the obstinate resistance of- fered by the gallant garrison in the face of overwhelming odds against them, is the sub- ject of universal praise. A letter written from Newborn, says ;-
 Brig. Gen. Vessels is "brick," the last that was seen of him by the guuboats he was throwing hand grenades like good fellow, with his coat off. The rebels lost very heavily and were badly cut up.
 The 18th were there and bravely stood their position the State may justly be proud of them. h fact the Connecticut regiments are all much thought of here, and these is no such thing as run attached to their names"
 Another account says:
 1 The proceedings of the Rebels at Plymouth will not compensate them for the severe loss they sustained.
 From all accounts Gen. Vessels and his lit tie band of l,500 Veterans fought like heroes tor four days and nights, leaving the Rebels dead in heaps in every street, which they ad init will number HOO.

NEw HARTFoRD.--Asahel D. Stevens of the Stevens Company, stage proprietors from Col linsville to Cauaan, via Winsted and Norfolk. died at the Owen Hotel, in this place on Wednes- day of last week, aged ST. He was taken i'll the same day that young c. T. Smith was, and survived him only two days. The sickness of both was as violent as their deaths were sud. den. MT. Stevens. a native of Massac chusetts, had, by his urbanity, and obligations to the public, won the esteem of a large circle of ac- quaintance who now most sincerely deplore his departure.
 - Messrs. Smith and Foster, whose illness we lately noted, are both convalescent.

CoRNwALL.-1n connection with the list of names of aged persons living in this town, published in the ENQUIRER a few weeks ago, the following vital statistics may not be with out some local interest, as indicating changes in single generation.
 Twenty five years ago, there lived in the 7th School District of this town, within half a mile of the present sit of the sohool-house, and @ mile of each other, six families with an ae- gregate of 65 children, viz-Wm. Stoddard 13, Dea. Nathan Hart F, Daniel Bronson 12, Elias Hart II, Joel Wright g, Preston Hitchcock &. These six families with two or three smaller ones comprise all the present limits of the District, and three of them sent 24 children to the common school the same term. At the present time, the families owning and occuping these same six dwellings have but five children.
 Another item of interest is the good old age attained by one or both the heads of these ! families :-Dea. Nathan Hart lived to the age of S6, David Bronson S5, Mrs. Elias Hart 76, Mrs. Reuben Hitchcock A. Those now living, R. Hitchcock 79, E. Hart 79, Wm. Stoddard "A; cotemporary with these in the same district was Dea. Samuel Adams, died 1863. agod 87.
 - On the lst of April, the people of North Cornwall appreciating the difficulties of pay ing expenses in these times of high prices with salaries adapted to other times, presented their pastor, Rev. Mir. Wetherby, $1O0. On the first of January, they presented him with money and substantials of about the same amount making with his regular salary $l ,0OC and use of parsonage for the year.

of his head, made by clear cutting wedge shaped instrument ;-apparently made with a narrow bladed axe. It was superficial in front of the lower part of the external ear, separating the zygomatic arch sufficient to admit small probe; as it extenued upward through the temporal and lower portion of the partial bones on that side, it penetrated more or less into the substance of the brain; the separated skull being nearly an inch apart at or near the up- per part of the cut The eye-lids were closed Was also shown a narrow-bitted axe, bloody, the inner corner shorter than the outer corner, and hangs in. The axe produced in court re- sembles the axe seen at that time. The blow given would have caused instantaneous death. The eye-lids would have been closed after death, if the deceas el had been in a profound sleep at the time of the blow.

In the township of Parma one man
drafted is dead, and one has paid commu-
tation, having been caught on the previous
draft.
In both the Third and Seventh WARDS
one man has paid communication.
The Sixth Ward, and the townships of
olmsted, Springfield, Green, Coventry,
Franklin, and Norton have filled their
quota since the draft. The remaining
townships and wards of the District, not
enumerated in the above table, filed their
quotas before the draft.
1t will be observed that the quotas of the
sub-distrIcts in the table above, at the time
of the draft, was 29I, which, adding tn lie
hundred per cent, gave 5S2 to be drawn.
OF these 2O4 failed to report. Of the 374
who did report, 167, or almost one-half,
we're exempted for physical disability, a
fact, which exposes fearful state of ILL
health amongour male population. 1l3 have
been exempted for other causes, leaving
but "a held to service, or one-fourth of the
number who reported, and less than one
sixth of the total number drafted.
It is observable that the proportion
Of exempts is much greater On this
than on any former draft. That this
should be so, after our enrolment has been
SO carefully revised, is inexplicable. We
learn that this is the fact throughout the
country.
Only one-third of the original quota of
the towns named above, has been raised
by draft. 1877, or a little more than two
thirds, are still deficient. A supplement
ary draft for this number, adding the
necessary hundred per cent, will soon be
ordered 1t will probably come off next
week
