CoNNEcTTCUT.-Last year the Republican party
carried Connecticut by large majority, de-
feating the Democracy in every single county
and giving to Gov. Buckingham majority of
5,65S over his Democratic competitor. This
year, their triumph is still more decisive
Nearly all the towns thus far heard from show
Union gains and Gov. Buckingham's majority

which stood last year Democrats in the Sen
ate and &c in the House, against Is Republicans

Republican majority on joint ballot of "a, will
this year be even more overwhelmingly Union.

SCHOOL ELEcTION.-T annual school cleo

School District throughout the State took
place on Saturday last. In this town the Dem
Ocrats quietly mustered their forces and voted
for purely partizan ticket, (which was not
anticipated by the Union mem and, of course,
elected it. This introducing politics into school
matters seems to us a bad move, but latterly
the opposite party can exercise the right OF

A chap oncc told ST. psirick's dean,
While rising from his seat, " mean
To set up for wit"
All I" quoth the dean, " IL that be true, sa
The very best thing you can do,
Is down again 10 sit"
Too many, like that would-be wit,
Set up for what they are not ct,
And always lose their aim
Set up for wisdom, wealth, renown,
But end tho farce by sitting down
With poverty and shame.
A middling tradesman thinks he can
Set up to be gentleman,
And then cit down contents;
But after many turn and twist,
Is set down on the pauper's list,
A fool without cent.
When farmers wives and daughters fair,
Set up with silks and Leghorns rare,
To look most wondrous winning,
They sit upon slippery stand,
Till Indulgence, with iron hand,
Upsets their underpinning.
Some city ladies, too, whose gear
Has made them to their husbands dear,
Set up TO lead tho ton;
Though now the sit on fashions seat, T
Age, death, or poverty. albeit,
Will set them down, anon.
Som o fools set up 10 live by law,
And though they "aro all over jaw"
Soon fail for want Of brains
But had the boobies only just s-u
Known whore they ought to sit at first,
They'd saved world of pains.

No better than his pills
The man mfghttoii from morn tifi night,
And find his match with ali his might
To bury half he kills.

But when you have set up in vain,
And fndyou must sit down again,

TREATMENT or CRoup.-Croup is an
inflammation of the inner surface of

heat, and that heat must be subdued
or tho patient will inevitably die. If
prompt efforts are made to cool the
parts in the case of an attack of the
Group, relief will be as prompt as it is
surprising and delightful. All know
that cold applied to a hot skin cools
it, but all do not we'll know and un-
derstand that hot water applied to an
inhamod skin will certainly cool it off.
Hence the application of iced water
with linen cloths, or almost hot water
with double flannel, or two folds large
enough to cover the whole throat aud
upper part of the chest. Put these
in pail of water as hot as the hand
can bear, and keep it thus hot by
adding water from q boiling tea kettle
at hand. t,a ,t,.i aie .,.,
Let two or three hannels be in hot
water all tho time, with dry flannel
covering the wet one, so as to keep
the heat in TO some extent; the flan-
nels should not be so wet when put

keep the clothing as dry as possible,
