A Romantic story or Stratford,
- rG Connecticut. r.rtr -

That such town as Stratford should afford
anything in the way of romantic personal his
tories was hardly to be expected, but the sub
Joined story is authentic as well as interest
ing. At the commencement of the present
century a young man made his appearance
iii the village, and spent few weeks at the
tavern, which then existed to afford shelter
to stage coach travellers. Whence he came
and what his business, none could guess. TT
Directly opposite the tavern stood the small
cottage and the forge of blacksmith named
Folsom. He had daughter who was the
beauty of the village, and it was her fortune
to captivate the heart of the young stranger.
He told his love, said he was from Scotland,
that he was travelling iaceg, but IN confidence
gave her his real name, claiming that he was
heir to large fortune. She returned his
love- and they were married A few weeks
thereafter the. stranger told his wife that he
must visit New Orleans; he did so, and the
gossips of the town made the young wife un-
happy by their disagreeable hints and jeers
y In a few months the husband returned, but
before week had elapsed he received large
budget of letters, and told his wife that he
must at once return to England, and must go
alone. He took his departure, and, the Cos
sips had another glorious opportunity to make
a eoniding woman wretched. To all but her.
self il, was a clear case Of desertion the wife
became mother, and for two years lived on
in silence and in hope At the. end of that
time a letter was received by the Stratforl
beauty from her husband, directed her to go
at once to New York with her child, taking
nothing with her but the. clothes she wore,
and embark in a ship for her home in Eng
land
p On her arrival in New York she found a
ship splendidly furnished with every conve-
nience and luxury for her comfort, anil two
servants ready to obey every wish that she
might express The ship duly arrived in
England, and the Stratford girl became the
mistress of n superb mansion, and, as the wife
of baronet, was saluted by the aristoeracy
SHADY Samuel Sterling On the death Of
her husband many years ago, the Stratford
boy succeeded to the title and wealth Of. his
father, and in the last edition Of the ''Peerage
and Baronetage, lie is spoken of as the issue
of "Miss Folsom, of Stratiord, North Auiefi-
ca" When the late Professor Silliman visi-
ted England some years since, he had the
pleasure Of, meeting Lady Sterling at dinner
party and was delighted to answer her many
questions about her birthplace in Connecticut

!aCasnalties OF the War.

Official estimates at the War Department
compute the number Of deaths in the Union
armies since the commencement of the war,
including the starving prisoners, at 325, 900
There has doubtless been fully 200, 600 South
ern soldiers removed by disease and the cas-
ualties Of battle, so that not less than 525, 900
lives have been sacrificed in this unholy con-
test, begun and prolonged by the South in
their vain effort to build up Q new republic
and strengthen the slave power.
Our greatest lossess during any one c,m-
paign occurred at Gettsburg, when %, ,260
Union soldiers were killed, wounded and
taken prisoners. 'Hookerls campaign of 1868
in the Wilderness ranks next to Gettsburg as
far as regards Union losses, they having
amounted to 10000, though generally re-
ported at only 10000 Burnside lost 900
in the battle of fredericksburg, Mcclellan
II ,426 at Antietam, Porter 5000 at Gaines
Mills, Rosecranse l20S4 at Murfreesboro, and
1854 at Chickamaugua, and Sherman about
5000 in two days battle around Atlanta. 'iE
The official reports OF General Grants
lossess,' from the time he crossed the Rapi-
dan until receiving the surrender Of Lee, com
putes them at 10000 In the various engage
mcnts fought by Gen. Grant in the West he
lost 1858 men at Pittsburgh Landing, 1855
in the severe contests aronnd Nicksburg, and
in the attack on Missionary Ridge about 1000
9 Though our losses in many of the campaigns
have been heavy, they yet fall far below those
incurred in some Of the European wars
This has been due, to q considerable extent
to the efficiency Of the medical. department.

has remarked in connection with this, that,
'lt Is safe to suppose that the time OF one
man IN our larger territory must be fully oc-
cupied, and much work to be left undone
which ought to be performed. Such has been
my experience My labors have no cessation
from the years beginning to its end, save the
occasional respite of a few days, to gather
strength for their renewal. Three fourths of
this time has been spent away from home in
visiting schools, conducting institutes, and
lecturing upon topics of education, or in ex-
amining the Returns made to the Secretary's
office and preparing an epitome of the same
for my Report. The preparation Of the Sta.
tistical Tables, in itself work of several
weeks for one person, has been done by nv
own hand, or by clerks paid from my own
pocket. do not complain that the State, in
its spirit of economy, while furnishing to all
other departments of the public service any
number of clerks which may be needed, pro-
vides none for NINE" af ssss

more time for preparation than it has been
possible to find.
In the further "endeavor to disseminate the
information, acquired, and to awaken more
general interest in public education have
made such use as might Of the public press;
communicating many articles upon education
al topics to the "Maine Teacher" and various
weekly juornals; thus hoping to reach and
possibly to. stimulate by means of the pen,
some persons whom could not reach by the
living voice.
Will it be policy to economic in this par
ticular office, because it requires a few hum
dred dollars to support it.? Is it safe to do
anything that will have tendency to dimin-
ish the interest in this direction? We can
now see the effect of free school system, as
we compare our situation with that of the
South. 1t is ignorance that has dragged her
down to her present debasement. Had knowl-
edge been more universally disseminated in
her midst, we should not have had this bloody
war. The great advantage we have over 9TH

then, discourage any efforts made to advance

little support it now has in comparison to 9TH
