New England Nomenclature

Mark Twain, writing from Hartford,
aYs:
"Don't direct any more letter. to me at
Hartford, until find out which Hartford
live in, They mix such things here in
New England. think am in Hart
ford proper, but no man may hope to be
certain. Because right here in one nsst
we have Hartford, and old Hartford, and
New Hartford, and West Hartford, and
East Hartford, and Hartford-on4.hc-IIln.
and Hartford around generally, 1t is the
strangest thing-this paucity of names in
Yankee land, You find that it is not a
matter confined to Hartford, but is a
distempcr that aflicts all New England
They fget name that suites them and
then hitch distinguished handles TO it, and
hang them on all its villages round about.
1t reminds me of the man TINT said Adam
went on naming his defendants until he
ran out of names, and then said, gravely,
"I.et the rest be called Smith" Down
there at New Haven. they have Old
Haven, West Haven. South Haven.
West-by -sou'- Haven, and East-hy.
east norseast-hall.e east Haven, and the old.
est man in the world can't tell which one
of them Yale College is in. The boys in
New England are smart, but after they
have learned everything else, they have
to devote a couple Of years to the geogra.
ply of New Haven before they can enter
college, and then half Of them can't do il
till they goto sea voyage and learn how
TO box the compass, That is why there
are so many more New England sailors
than any other. Some of them spend
their whole lives in the Whaling service,
trying 10 fit themselves for college. This
class Of people have colonized the city.
New Bedford, Mass. 1t is well known
that nne-tenths Of the old salts there be,
came old salts just in this way, Their
lives are failurc-they have lived in
vain-they have never been able TO get the
hang of the New Haven geography"
In this connection they he'll story of
stranger who was coming up the Com
neciicut river, and was trying his best to
sleep but every now and then the boat
would stop and a man would thru his
head into the room-first he sung out,
''Haddam !" and then "East IIaddam !"
and then "HadCan Neck !" and then
"Norih Hadlaml" "Great T1addam !"
''little Haddam!p sold Hadlam !"
''New Haddaml" Irish Haddam !"
Clutch Haddam !" lIaddam Had
DAMP and then the stranger jumped out
of bed all excited, and said in very loud
tone of voice;
"Im a Methodist preacher, full of
grace, and forty years in service without
guile I'm meek and lowly Christian,
but d-n these Haddams wish the
devil had 'em, ] say!"

-I4-D-+'+n West Cornwall, Feb. lst at a little
past L O'Clock, 4 ~, John sanford Esq. aged
L years, II months and Il days
Mr.. Sanford had been in "A feeble state of
lsailh for more than year past, and had fIc-
Qtent admnnitions, that "the coming Of the
son of Man drew near but when nj length
the fatal hour did come, II was unexpected and
sudden, both to himself and his freuds He
had been about the house rs usual duriug tho
daytime Sabbathj and was so far from any in
dic;liious of speedy dissolution that most OF
the f'mily We're absent, in attendance upon
the evening meeting. He was sitting in his
chair when suddenly, his devoted and watch
ful companion saw his hand fall by his side.
and his head droop. She approached him i'm
neliatcly with her teulercst miuistratious,
but the spirit, if not yet departed, had evidcu-
tly taken Its last farewell of Garth He con-
tinued to breath for several hours, but from
the moment that he was stricken, no signs in
dictated that the spirit was at all conscious Of
that which was passing in his presence. As he
hrcathed his last, the sad house felt the pres
ence Of the angel of death.
Mr.. Sanford has ever stood high in the es-
tlmatiou OF his fellow citizens rs a man OF
sound Judgment aud unswervug Integrity
They readily conceded TO him leading place
in the management Of the town; and he ever
acted well his part, and has left an honorable
record, and good example unto them that
colae after him. Mr.. Sauford's illness though
not painful, was protracted and trying but
he bore it all with cutire resignation. and
contemplated the advancing footsteps of the
death messenger with entire composur1.
Forty years ago he publicly protested his
iaith IN Christ, under the guidance and inspi-
ration OF that faith he spent the active years
othS life, aud its grace sustained aud it's hopes
comiortcd him, rs he drew nigh to death
And now that he is gone, his family ana friends
comfort themselves with the assurance, that
"he is not dead, but seepth," aud that, with
all those who sleep in Jesus, God Will bring
him unto a glorious immortality.
Thanks be unto God, who giveth us the
victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ"

Formerly, it was difficult to obtain

There were those which promised large

should be perfect beyond all

not only have large capital, but should
be managed by mon of the highest in
