A CONNECTICUT GRIFFITH GAUNT-In the spring of 1857 Nathaniel s. Morgan, an officer in the navy, married Miss Emma E. Kellogg of East Hartford by whom he has had two children. On the 10th of July 1866, under the name of N. Sinclair Morgan he married Miss Martha Wroe, daughter of Samuel Wroe, we'll known govern ment contractor of Washington. Both matches were considered good ones by the friends of the ladies. After his second marriage he boarded with his second wife, near the navy yard in Washington. The fact of his second marriage did not become known to his first wife, who was warmly attached to him, till September last Not long after the friends of the second wife heard that he had another wife living and took meas to ferret out the matter and ascertain the truth of the report. About three months since therefore, Miss Wroe returned to her fathers house and Morgan deserting from his position in the navy, disappeared. At Georgetown where he was arrested, he pass ed by the name of Watson, and was en- ployed by an ice dealer, there, as clerk.
 This precious specimen added little forgery to the lying incident to his new position. This, with his bigamy, will prob ably secure him permanent appointment under our State government, at Wethers- field, where his services are more needed, just now, than in the navy.

Tennessee.

The Tennessee election has resulted in the choice of Brownlow and of the whole Radical Congressional Ticket by large ma iorities The legislature also is oyerwhelm- ingly radical, ensuring the election of a U. s. Republican Senator in place of Pat terson. While we rejoice in such result, we are far from an entire endorsement of the policy of Brownlow and of the loyal ists now in the ascendant. Admirable and unfinching as East Tennessee loyalty has always shown itself, we look in vain fol that kindliness and charity which goes with such loyalty to make the complete American citizen, of the most perfect Abraham Lincoln type. We do not, in fact, expect to be very we'll satisfied with the administration of any of the Border State Governments for long time to come. The parties and the animosities of the wal are there perpetuated to a degree unparal, lelled in any other part of the country. There Republication means loyalty, and De mocracy, disloyalty. There, whichever par ty is triumphant abuses its victory and re lentlessly persecutes its defeated opponent. Aside from its political character, however, we firmly believe that the general admin istration of loyal Missouri and of loyal Tennessee is more wise and just than the general administration of disloyal Ken lucky and disloyal Maryland.
 One important point, if indeed 1t was ever in doubt, the Tennessee election de cides conclusively- the enfranchised negroes will support the Republican party almost to man. That they could not be wheedled or intimidated into betrayal of the friends to whom they owe their liberty, shows that, ignorant as they now are, they want neither sense nor gratitude.

THE WEED SEWING MACHINE AT THE PAI

THE WEED SEWING MACHINE AT THE PAR IS EXPOSITION. following paragraphs are literally translated from La Liberte of Paris-the famous journal of the celebrated Emile de Girarden. and the leading organ of the liberals of France It shows that our Hartford sewing machines actually re- ceived the first prize at the great Paris Ex position. The date of the number from which it is translated is July 9th. An net of high justice has been done to Mir. Elias Howe who had not yet been rewarded as the inventor of the sewing machine, and who has just received the decoration of the Legion of Ho1or.-But, although exhibit ing several machines, his original work has been so greatly improved that others hold the first rank to-day. And among the lat ter, the one which has been examined with the greatest interest by all the visitors, is the sewing machine of tho Weed company whose extensive manufactory is in Hart ford, Connecticut. N has obtained tue Situer medal as tue best American Seacing Muchine, the gold medal having been awarded to the best button hole machine. Nothing is more simple than the mechanical perfec- tion, the solidity and the rapidity of this. Weed machine, which besides is distinguish ed by the facility with which it can be kept in good condition.

Although now "A years of age. he looked little changed in appear ance from what he was at the time he left New Milford, viz, 1849. His sermon on Sunday was from the text, "My times are in thy hands," and was a masterly discus sion of the doctrines of an over-ruling Providence, closing with touching allusions to the changes and events which had oc- cured since he last preached to an audi ence in New Milford. MT. Greenwood, in early life, nearly lost his voice.. and has spoken always with difficulty. It will please his friends to know that on this occasion he spoke with unusual clearness, for him,

They bid fair te make an extremely good Club, and in thi match played very we'll indeed. It is un necessary to dwell at length on the partic ular features of the game. There was goo' playing on both sides, especially by MT Brown of the Sangfroid Nine, and MT Robert Erwin of the Weantinaug Nine, tt whose superior style of pitching, the resul was in a great measure due.

The prosecution against the Rev. Steph- en H. Tyng Jr, arose in this wise. That gentleman had accepted the invitation of a Methodist church in New Brunswick N. J. to preach before them when a Dr. Stubbs. rector of Christ church (Episcopal) in that place, objected, citing Canon XII article 6 of that church. MT. Tyng nevertheless officiated and Dr. Stubbs commenced his prosecution. The article in question is as follows:-
 No minister belonging to this church shall off ciate either, by preaching reading prayers, or otherwise, in the parish, or within the parochial cure of another clergyman, unless he have received express permission for that purpose from the min- ister of the parish cure, or in his absence from the churchwardens vestrymen, or trustees the congregation, or a ajority of them"
 The New York Protestant Episcopal Clerical Association has agreed that Mr. Tyng's conduct was not irregular, and we presume such will be the decision of the committee who investigate the case 9th erwise, infnitesimal Stubbs might make far more trouble than nature intended they should.

Than I've ever been before
Nearer my Fathers homo,
Where the many mansions DO;
Nearer the great white throne.
Nearer the Jasper sea.
Nearer the bounds of life,
Where we lay our burdens down.
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through tho night,
Is the dim and unknown stream,
That leads me at last to light.

Come to the dark abysm,
Closer death to my lips, .
Presses the awful clrism.

Strengthen the might of faith,

On the rock of the shoressf death.
Feel as would when my feet,
Are slipping on the brink.

Nearer now than | think
