n@- MT. William s. Pomeroy, editor of the Bridgeport Farmer since 1882. died at that place on Tuesday evening last. He learned the printers trade at the Hartford Times office, and started in Bridgeport with a Jackson paper, which soon afte, merged into the Farmer. He was q very strong Democrat, and was SO bitter in his opposition to the war that his office was sacked, and much property destroyed. Whatever may be the difference of opinion regarding his political course, he was a thoroughly honest man and greatly re- spected by his townsmen of all parties. He has been senior proprietor of the Far mer since 1s42, though incapacitated from much active work, of late years. from dis ease.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

Nearly year since, we made propositions fol regular and occasional correspondence, which met with ready response, adding much to the value of our paper, and laying us under personal obligation to the gentlemen rendering us such assistance. We are thereby encouraged to renew our propositions, hoping that the good example already set will be generally followed, and that the local news of all parts of the County will be fully reported in our paper.
 Our propositions to regular and occasional cor respondents from any part of Litchaeld County, are as follows:
 1. On publication of any communication we will forward sic e1tr0 copies of the EN. oUIRER containing the same, to the address of the person sending it to us, or to any residents of the county such person may designate. Correspondents must advise us, at the time of sending communications, of the number of copies desired, and to whom they are to be sent.
 2. Local items from reliable sources. in any part of the county, will be received with pleasure, but we are particularly de- sirous of increasing our list of regular correspondents. To each of these, or to such person as he or she may designate, we will send copy of our paper regularly Ell 0ousbAOu tO tuO OALW COpACo uuOAVOaOA above.
 REQUIREMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
 Anonymous communications cannot expect publication.
 The names of correspondents will be kept strictly secret, if desired.
 Communications of personal nature will not be published, unless the propriety of such pub hcation is manifest.
 Manuscript should be written only on one side of the paper.
 Regular correspondents can avoid all danger of having tho contributions of others attributed to them by assuming some signature, single let. ter being sufficient.
 In case of two communications relating to the same event, the fullest will usually be published. Hence communications never come amiss, even from places where we have regular correspon- dents, since they often give valuable additional information.
 simple statement of facts is all that is neoes- sary. and hastily written communications will be corrected before publication.

man,
 We trust the time is mot far distant when there shall not only he in every large city in our land these organizations [of womenl for works of edu- cation, Of charity and mercy, with houses and hospitals well endowed by the faithful: but also that in every rural and suburban parish there
 will be under the direction of the rector, s Sis. ters Home, where can live those who will not ! only always be ready to go forth to minister to sickness ana other needs, but who can receive in- to their Home, to be nursed and cared for, those l for whom otherwise such offices of Christian love l would be well nigh impossible.
 Why not Brothers Home'' whence the self-sacrifcing male Yankee can go out to minister to the sick and needy? Sim. ply because it is very we'll understood, that if he works at all, it will be at some prof. liable employment. Right or. wrong. no one thinks of proposing to our young men any sort of labor that does not pay. If they enter the ministry, they do not pro. pose to live in "Homes," but to be paid wages sufficient not only for the support of themselves, but of their families. The Catholics, indeed, carry the rule of pover- ty and celibacy into effect against male and female. equally. Pretestants dare not propose it to the stronger sex AS a mode of disposing of unoccupied i've will not say superfuous) women, the organizing of some sort of Protestant Sisters of Charity is a favorite plan with Conservatives who look
 upon the past three centuries as the
 "Dark Ages of the Church." Even so able man as MT. Lecky regrets the de-
 struction of nunneries, as on the whole prejudicial to woman's welfare, while Bish- op Potter (EpiscopaD proposes that pious women be employed in charitable works on condition they are willing to work with out pay. We do not wish to undervalue works of charity. It would be we'll if rich people of either sex could be persuaded to
 do their duty by their poorer brethren :; but to propose any such line of employ ment for large numbers of men or women in our day, is a manifest mistake. What women want is not to be taught further self-sacrifice, but to be given remunera- tive employment and honorable avocations. "Homes." nunneries. and the like, may have suited an age of Protection, but they will not suit an age of Progress.

His Assailant Arrested
OTHER PARTIES1N DURANGO
SHANG At THE CHARITY HOSPITAL

The records of police transactions have
borne the name of "Shang' Mclaughlin
quite frequently, both here and in Calves
ton, but his race, like that of another fast
young man, Gus Taney. is now probably
ended.
This morning shortly after one o'clock,
we learned of the shooting of Shang Nc,
Laughlin in the wine room of the saloon
No. IS St. Charles street-on the second
hoor-where dissolute young men may
quaff the sparkling Krug and drink the
health of fair but frail young women.
We did not learn the particulars further
than that William Eadermore fired four
shots into NcLaughlin's back.
The assailant was arrested, together with
seven or eight others. and taken to the first
precinct station. where Eadermore is locked
up without bail.
Mclaughlin, desperately wounded and
suffering severely, was carried to the
Charity Hospital, where he may or may not
gasp out his dying breath.
And this is another brief record Of mid
night crime in New Orleans.

Fisk and Maretzek.


New YORK, September 90 The impress
sible Fisk, prince of Erie, and Max Maretzek,
the well known impressariO, had a fight to-
day on the stage Of the grand opera house
during rehearsal. The quarrel arose from
Maretzek's having taken part in Mile. Mill
sons concert last evening, while being en-
gagged by Fisk as leader Of the orchestra at
the grand opera house. When naretzek
appeared on the stage at rehearsal, Fisk or
dered him ont of the theatre and called him
IA swindler and damned thief Maretzek
made jump for the Colonel and got in
sumner ON the latter's face, sending him to
grass before he knew where he was! First
knock down and first round for Max.
Jim came up smiling, however, and re-
turned the Dutchmans compliment by
straight left t-hander on his left optic, shut
ting his eye in mourning and drawing the
ruby from a cut on the cheek. Max took
his cruel kindly. and soon came back for
more, giving the admiral a shower Of blows
impartially distributed all over his body,
and fighting him down into a corner OF the
stage. On this round Fisk again fell heavily,
dragging Max down with him.
The fight then resolved itself into rough
and tumble affair, until the stage carpen-
ters pulled Maretzek Oft. Max, still shout
ing for satisfaction, declared that he would
fight with pistols, but no formal meeting
has yet been arranged. Fisk has been
driving in the park this afternoon looking
as fresh as ever, and apparently none the
worse for the fight. This evening he and
Maretzek occupied opposite proscenium
boxes at the Nillson concert, Max wearing
a mouse on his left eye, and little court
plaster on his face.
The end is not yet as Maretzek is spelling
for another fight, and Fisk expresses his
perfect Willingness to have it out. Fisk ac-
cuses Maretzek of having swindled him out
of thirty or forty thousand dollars in various
enterprises, of having swindled him III his
recent trip to Europe to engage an opera
boutfe troupe for the grand opera house He
says Maretzek charged thousands of dollars
for imaginary expenses, and made the ar
fists whom he engaged pay him commits
sion on their salaries and passage money
When he came back Fisk engaged him to
lead the orchestra at the grand opera house,
after which he made another engagement to
lead the orchestra for the Nillson concerts.
When Fisk heard of this last engagement he
discharged Maretzek. and when he met him
again in the theatre ordered him out, and
the fight occurred.

JOSEPH COIN, Notary Public.
We lack the space this morning that
ought to be devoted to discussion of the
facilities of even the most noted thieves and
burglars to extricate themselves from the
meshes of the law. In consequence OF these
facilities the reputation of New Orleans
suffers, and the city has become the para
disc of burglars and thieves, who are the
terror of honest men and the dread of those
who have property that is liable to be stolen.

Eighth District Court.

This court was to have held session yes
terday for the trial Of several important
cases.
Al the usual hour the Judge and attorneys
assembled in the court room but the court
was neither opened nor adjourned, Judge
Dibble having informally determined not
to hold a session until this morning. So the
knights of the green bag lounged around
the building, laughing, joking and punning
as lawyers are wont to joke and pun when
their minds are freed from the perplexing
cares of their arduous profession: And the
dingy old building, SO redOlent OF the fumes
Of musty records, was left to its solitude.
None of the other courts were In session,
no petitions or answers filed, and altogether
the day was the dullest of this dull season.
