 made habitual, return thanks onbehalf of imprisoned innocence. Invariably. too, a communication would come out in the next Sentinel over his signature, lamenting the lack oftrue piety among us. but fullysen- dorsing that of Brothers So and So. who had led sthe jail, servcea on the Sunday previous. Such commendation, from such a quarter, was more than the mostseverely chastened flesh and blood could stand. The jailservice languished and died. s..a,..ss.s.
 The attempt to organize Total -Absti- hence movement labors under a similar embarrassment. Pulpit opposition itmight weather; but the support of the Sentinel is a feather too much. s+a4tsA 5sta "a 4sHsr

Wm. IL. VWlSs died on YhurSday last, and was buried on Saturday. His funeral was attended by St. Peters Lodge, F. 6 A. M., who accompanied the remains to the village of Canaan, where the interment took place. His illness was long and very severe, but he was kindly cared for by his Masonic brethren and his neighbors gen. orally, who did all in their power to allevi-s ate his sufferings. His only child, a little girl. has been adopted by a lady in the northern part of the State. During the war Mir. Twiss served in the 2d Conn.

 The various accounts which have ap- peared in different papers regarding the loss of John T. Youngs cattle are errone- ous and should be contradicted.4 MT. Young sold his cattle to men that he had, reason to suppose were worthy of credit, but one of them has since absconded with the funds of the firm, and the other part her is unable to pay their debts. The statement that the cattle were stolen in broad daylight, and driven away so secret ly that no trace of them could be found, is an entire fabrication. ~S"ss a9%- %1A@4.a4 is4

 lE There is 8 proposition made to buy the residence of .Df. s: IT. CIeman's' fol: town offices. The Town Clerk and Judge of Probate have their offices now in rickety wooden buildings, in the most thickly set tied part of the village, and they are sub- iect to destruction by fire at any time. In, case such loss should occur it would be irreparable, and when people consider it's extreme probability, it is strange they do not take some measures to guard against it, Dr. Cleman's house is fine brick building, we'll located, and with a very lit tie expense could be made entirely fire proof. It is to bs hoped that the rumor is, true, and that the town will soon buy it.

Now it is somewhat difficult to realize how, after. the lecture hecahae a ''6xed fact" the news could have got down to Waterbury, been printed in the Ameri- can, which ia turn got up to old Litchfield in time to appear in the Enquirer of the following morning.

When near the four corners they broke away from the wagon, and after con tinuing on a short distance stopped of their own accord. MT. Hine was thrown from the wagon, and had one of his shoul- ders slipped out. He was properly cared for, and left for. home on Friday noon.

 TEE CREDIT SIDE OF OUR MORAL LEDGER. On our. first page will be found some im- portant facts regarding the moral status s of various countries in Europe as disclosed by their statistics of births By it we seea that the rate of illegitimate births varies from 20 per cent, in Bavaria, to per cent, in Holland. Connecticut inathis particua lar is much better than the best; for our last State Librarian's report shows only. ons per cent, of the total births, sillegiti mate. The writer of the article in ques- tion. also remarks ,that where diyorces are most difficult, illegitimatd'sbirths are most. frequent. The reason that the records of Italy and Spain are apparently better than han that of Bavaria sis probably because their statistics are based on unreliable returns. !

neA Another clericsl scandal has occur red in New York city. A Methodist clergy man named Cooke left his wife and family and eloped with a young girl of sixteen, daughter of one of his parishioners. We wonder that the reverend Bellamy Stokers, so severely satirized by Holmes in his Guar dian Angel, are so few, rather than that they are so many. They will only become extinct with the independence of woman. When the young pastor is at once hus-' band, and the spiritual ruler and the trust cd con1fdant of the young ladies of4his flock. the situation is one which leads, sel.c dom indeed to crime, but often to much unhappiness. Their innocence depen- denee, and unsuspicious confidence may become more agreeable to him than the sterner duties of parish work and domestic life while, on the other hand, many of the barriers with which society surrounds the young lady's intercourse with, young men are removed in the case of her pastor. intelligent, innocent, independent wo- man is a holy thing, in whose presence vice itself strives to oappear lik virtue; but ignofance and dependence make woman dangerous in whatever condition of life. is
 When 9, minister falls, the vigor with which society casts stones at him c is truly wonderful The gross {wickednsss of a Byron is treated with lenience but upon. the man who shrank from the accomplish. ment of the crime he intended. is heaped mountain of ignominy worse than death.i
