h9- The question to be decided within month by the people of Connecticut is whether they endorse the restoration of the Union on the plan proposed by the 1XXIXth Congress. Governor Hawley declares himself in his speech unequivocally m favor of that just and equitable method. Now let us hear from Mr. English. Let him respond to these queries:-- -..
 l. Are you in favor of reconstructing the Union as the loyal people of the North want it treconstructed, or as Southern rebels wantit reconstructed? E" VI
 2. Do you counsel submission on the part of the South to the laws enacted by the Congress of the United States, or do you, like so many of your party, advise the South to carry its wilful and reasonable op- position to those laws to the very verge of another rebellion. a8tge
 5. Are you in favor of allowing all loyal men in the South, whether white or black. to participate in the choice of their rulers or are you in favor of allowing the rebels of the South to exclude from the ballot box the votes of one-half of the Unionists of that sectionf
 The people of Connecticut, Mir. English of whom you ask the highest office in their gift desire to know your opinions on these vital points at issue in the present cam paign.-C C0urGnL --- ,,-

This they are also required to each day with their private de- yotiOns. Next, they learn and recite the Church Catechism. They then take up the three parts of "Baptismal Promises, i" and afterwards Dr Staun- tons series of "Catechists' Manuals."

A Curious Case.

A Boston savings bank has lately
had strange case of mistaken lden-
tity. About four years ago, one
armed man called, saying he wished
to draw money deposited there several
years before, but had lost his bank
book. The Treasurer asked him If
he could prove his identity. and he
said that he had formerly driven a
cart for well-knewn coal merchant
in the city, and in his employ had lost
his arm. The coal merchant was
summoned, and at once said he recog-
nized the man, although he was some
what changed in appearance, and that
he was all right; and signed bond
in the claimants favor, who departed
with his money. Nothing more was
heard about the matter till about
month ago, when another one-armed
man, claiming the same name as the
first, entered the bank with his book
in his hand and demanded his de-
posts. He told the same story as to
his identity as the first, said he had
been in prison these many years, and
again the coal merchant was sum-
moned to decide. At once the mer-
chant said that before he had been de-
ceived, that the other man was an i'm;
postor, but this was the right man, and
with the utmost good nature paid the
bond he had signed four years before,
and a second time the money was
paid. The explanation probably is,
that both these one-armed men had
been in the same prison together, had
talked and planned together, and to-
gether had been successful in their
SWindle
