The following seems rather hard on our eccentric friend, the deacon; yet there is so much truth in it that we feel obliged to give it place in our columns:
 .i- -3.@ Plymouth, Feb 23, 1867.
 EDITOR OF THE L1roHFIELD ENQUIRER:
 There has not been convention of any party held this year in any part of the State, west of the Connecticut river, into which Mr. Jeremiah Peck. of Northfeld, has not intruded himself, and accustomed more or less annoyance. How he manages to be at all these conventions and still be present on every train mp or down the Naugatuck railroad is great mystery. Yet there he is. inevitably; and the moment he fastens his "glittering eye" on any unlucky pas senger, that unfortunate may
 s '5 = 'sbeat his breast
 z Yet he cannot choose but hear."
 And if he takes his allotted share of Qua ker platforms, Thanksgiving Odes, and Drunkards's Laments, with the usual ex- plantations, quietly, it is comparatively we'll with him; otherwise he gets six or eight verses of the Ode sung to him and much emphatic advice in prose besides. If there was any sign that the 'Miller," like Jack Falstaff, was losing his voice ''with halloo- ing and singing of his anthems, it would be a mitigating circumstance, but we notice no such alleviation as yet
 The only convention of the season whicl, has had occasion to lament the absence oi Mir. Peck was one held short time since near the Naugatuck Junction, in which MT. "Race Bolster, land another, figured promi- nently. It may have been wicked thought. built did occur to me that if the s'Country Miller had attended that 'smill,"a few subsequent assemblies might perhaps have been spared his presence.

REcoRDER's CoURT-Two eases of
simple drunk constituted the chief of
operations in the Recorders Court
yesterday. Each party was charged a
fine of 81 with Sc 20 costs. One paid
and the other didn't.
A man preferred charge of being
noisy and disorderly against two per-
sons who had declined to drink his
whisky but who were willing to eat
his eggs. He refused them eggs and
ordered them out Of his house, and
from the evidence really appeared to
have made all the noise ON the occa-
sion. The accused were discharged.
Another man was brought in with
bloody noggin. He attempted to
escape from the police aud was crack
ed over the sconce, and afterwards
sent to Jail to get sober.

BowLDERING.-Thew work of bowl
dering has again commenced, and
men are again engaged in laying them
down on Second Street above Walnut.
The extraordinary stage of the river
this season has prevented the gather
ing of powders thus far except
about seventy perehes recovered from
Scuff1etowu Bar. These will be suffi :
cient probably to complete Second
Street to Chestnut, after which the
work will necessarily be suspended
until powders can be obtained In
the meantime it is proposed that ma
terial shall be collected for graveling
the streets ordered to be improved in
that manner under the specifications
adopted at the last meeting of the
City Council.

GRAvEL.-Mr Lowry, the con-
tractor for bowldering the streets, has
procured boat load of gravel, sam
pies of which were submitted to the
City Council last night. 1t is taken
from the bank of the river on the
Kentucky shore, and the sand washed
out, leaving the residuum almost pure
pebbles, or miniature powders. 1t is
contended that this material. placed
on the streets in a proper manner.
will make an excellent street in those
localities where there is not much
travel or heavy hauling. Walnut
Street was improved with like material
several years ago, and is still reckon
ed one of the best streets in the city.
By agreement between Mr.. Lowry
and the Council, he is to collect
large amount of such material, while
the water is too high to dig bowl
ders, and, in case he tails to be award
ed the contract for improving such
streets, he agrees to sell it to the city
at reasonable price, the city agree
ing to take it off his hands on those
terms.

Council Proceedings.
COUNCIL CHAMBERS,

The City Council met last night on

purpose of ordering the advertise
ment of the sitting of the Council as
Board of Equalization.
Present-l4is Honor, Mayor Baker.
and Councilman Dean, Muhlhausen,
Heilman, Reitz, Cook. Kolle, Wilt
shire and Kraft
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
Mayor Baker then announced that
the principal object in calling the
Council together was to fix the
time for the sitting of the Council as
Board of Equalization.
On motion, it was ordered that the
Board of Equalization met on Tues
day, June 10th.
The Committee submitted numbe
of notes, which were ordered to be
executed by the Mayor in payment
for house, purchased by the city, on
the line of First Street, ordered to be
opened
The Mayor submitted a communica-
ton from Gov. Baker, addressed to
Col. James G. Jones, in relation to
certain matters in litigation between
said Jones and the city. On motion,
it was ordered that the terms submit
ted be carried out by the city, all the
parties having agreed to the arrange
ment.
A sample of gravel, prepared by
Mr.. Lowry, for crawling streets un-
der the specifications submitted and
adopted at the last meeting of theCoun-
ell, was examined by the members of
the Council. Mayor Baker advocated
the feasibility of using this gravel in
the construction of good streets, away
from the business part. of the city.
The whole matter was discussed at
length.
Mr. Lowry proposed to use his
boat during the present high water,
to collect a large amount of gravel,
on condition that the city will take it
off his hands in case he shall not be
awarded the contract of gravelIng
the streets.
Ordered that Lot IA, B ock s.,

the only trouble was for the patrons
to eat enough to run up reasonable
bill. The lunch will be repeated to-
day at 104 o'clock, and we can assure
any one desiring a good square lunch
at little cost, that he will find this the
place to get it, The young gentlemen
are especially invited to be present
The ladies managing the affair, de-
sire us to express their thanks to Mrs.
Capt. Finney, of the John d. Perry,
for the present of one of the elegant
and delicious cakes that graced the
occasion. We hope to see everybody
at the Lunch to-day.
A REMARKABLY CoNFLAGRATIoN.
We have no doubt everybody re-
marked the fact that on Thursday night
at late hour the gas burned dimly,
though few probably understood the
cause. 1t was caused by break in the
main pipe at the crossing of Sycamore
anG Second Streets, by which thou
sands of feet Of gas were lost to the
gas company, and the whole neighbour
hood perfumed with the odor. Not
only so, but the gas escaping in great
abundance at the inlets of the sewer
was set on fire by some enterprising
individual, who probably ran away by
the light, and TIE confag alton came
nigh causing an alarm of fire. Yester-
day the pipe was repaired temporarily,
and last night everybody had an
abundance of light.
