The steamer New Haven, of the trans. portation line, was ibeled recently for the amount of some repairs, and short time ago she was sold at auction by Sheriff OBriens of New York city. U J.5B. Sargent and others of New Haven, bought the: boat, but forgot to get bill of sale. Af- ter the purchases Captain Snow was cons 'manded to take her to New HayenI which he st once did. Then 1t was found that the sheriff fees, amounting to $2,OOO, had not been paid, and on Capt. Snow's return to New York, he was arrested on the 18th ult, taken before Judge il Delmar on g charge of grand larceny Tn having stolen the New Haven, and because he refused to be examined by counsel furnished by his accusers, he was refused bail and commit ted to the 'Raym6ad street jail. Tue next morning. he .wasl again brought be. fore the court, and after g, brief, hearing. he was held to appear before a higher court, and admitted to bail in 5000 which was at once furnished by friends in Brooklyn. .,srs- a ,safr .lar--. ai.4y

"CoNNEcT DE cooT."-A considerable number of years ago, happening to be in Paris, on the 4th of July, with many oth- CT Americans, we celebrated ".the day. by a dinner at the Hotel Meurice. There were seventy-two of us in all. We had but one guest. This was M. De, Tocoue- vile, who had then rendered himself ta- nous by his great work upon Democracy In America. During the festivities of the evening, after the cloth had been removed and speechifying' had commencea, some gentleman alluded en passdns to the fact that he was born in Connecticut. Ilstta sg z Connect de- Co0tP. exclaimed Monsieur de Tocquevllle, as he suddenly rose with the enthusiasm of @ Frenchman. "Vv. messieurs. I will tell, yid de permission of de presidente of this festival, yon very lee tie story, and den will give you von grand sentiment to that ieetle state you call Con- nect-de-coot. Voni day ven I vas in de gallery of de House of Representatif. I held von map of de Confederation in my hand. Dere vas von leetle yellow spot dat dey call Conrect- de-coot. I found by de Constitution he was entitled to six of his boys to, represent him on dat, floor. But ven make de acquaintance personelle vid de member, l find that more than thirty of de representatif on dat floor vas born in Connect-de-co coot.,, And den ven vas in de gallary of de Senat, I find de Constitution permit Connect-de-coot to send two of his boys to represent him in dat Legislature. But vonce more ven make de acquaint- ance personelle of de Senator, I fad dat nine of de Senator vas born in Connect de-coot.

De first give you time, de second tell you vat you do vid him, and de sird make your law and your civiliza- tion;" and then as he was resuming. his seat amid roars of laughter, he rose again, and with that peculiar gesticulation which characterizes all the Frenchmen in 's mo- ments of excitement, he shook his finger tremnlously over the assembled confreres, and exclaimed at the top of his voice
 ''Ah, gentlemen,S dat leetie yellow state you call Connect-de-coot is vonq very great miracle to me-" s.-s.',

 A few days suficed to exhaust our little stock of edibles and money; then actual starvation stared us in the face! Tam usu- ally fruitful in expedients. but was then totally at g loss to know where to turn for assistance-wheu my provident cook came in, and reading the story in my face, with a kindly laugh besought me not to be "down hearted," that she had already "engaged washing for four officers" and could 's get work enough to feed us all for a while;;" and this she did (although she had two children and sick brother to care for, who in few days died of con- sumption) until was forced to accept the provision made by the Government for the relief of the destitute. The bitter humil- iation of this emergency can only be ima- gined by those who experienced it; but the cruel choice was between acceptance and starvation. For more than a month we lived upon this provision, with a few delicacies sent to us now and then from the Christian and Commissary Commis- sions, for which we could not feel wholly ungrateful, though coming from the stores of the conqueror. Fortunately, this ne- cessity was of comparatively short dura- tion My fathers health improved rapid ly, and l had the benefit of his advice, il not assistance, and after the return of my brothers from General Lees surrender, diff ferent arrangements: were made in our mode of living-resources were brought into use, and I was relieved of the duties of the nsenage; but, alas! from that day to be homeless. fto gGIZ.o-- a..t. :. -

Female Education in the Trenton
Convention.

Tho address by Professor Hardness, of this
city, at the meeting of the National Normal
Association, in Trenton, last week, appears to
have caused something of a sensation in that
body, and by its earnest tone on the question Of
female education TO have raised small hubbub
In the bosoms of some few venerable fogies
present. Mr.. Hardness had been invited TO speak,
long before the meeting, and his name had been
placed on the official programme, and formally
announced, for an address, TO commence at 81
o'clock, on the Normal Principles of Eluca-
tion," to occupy an hour. Bat the presiding
officer permitted a quarter Of this time to be cut
into by preceding exercises, and when the speaker
proceeded to urge the equal education of women
aud demand their admission, by right, into our
best universities and colleges, the old fogies
whispered It into the car OF the Chairman that he
was not speaking TO the point" and then raised
that point Of order, which was promptly sus-
tanned by the privately convinced dignitary, and
the speaker cat of at the end Of forty-fvc
minutes.
Mr.. Hardness, however seems to have at Least
engaged the sympathy of a great number of hi
fellow teachers, and his Address, which wal
promptly put into print, has already attained {
large circulation. His views upon Female Edu
cation were entirely reasonable and just, and i
really reflects little credit on SO weighty bod,
as that which he was addressing, that they shoul'
have permitted him to be choked off. Tn
"point of order" was absurd in formal ad
dress upon stated subject, the speaker alone
the proper judge of what is, and what is not
pertinent to tho question.
