PEOPLES CLUB.-Our readers will see by
reference to our advertisements, that the
evening classes which were carried on
last winter at the Peoples club are soon
to be Tcopencd with such additions as
may be called for. We understand that the
managers are anxious to offer instruction not
only in the branches mentioned in the advertise
ment, bnt in any other for which there proves to
be demand. # there are any young men WHO
are interested in the financial or industrial
topics of the day, Or who would like a better
knowledge OF political science or of the history
of our constitution, it is thought that classes or
conversations on these subjects can be held with
great enjoyment and advantage.
Reading circles will also be formed, if ap9li-
cants appear to which young women can bring
their work, and so get instruction Or social en-
ioymeut without any sacrifice of their time
We think we cannot give better advice 10 those
who are busy during the day, and wish to spend
their evenings pleasantly, than TO attend some
of these classes.

the question whether he struck

excited and alarmed at the
time OF the striking he did not
know precisely what he did,
The only distinct recollection OF
it was thai he did intend to

release he went to Iowa, where

most abundant harvests. Such
is one part of the country
through which the Farmers &

below the beds of the deepest
gulches, along the line of the
Farmers & Miners Railroad is
found strata upon strata Of
coal, with iron, limestone and
fire.clay in inexhaustlble'quan

the country through which this
road passes. The interest along
the greater part of the road,
norIhward, is entirely opposite
to those of the southern end.
One is fine. agricultural re-
gion, quite level and alive with
herds, and fertile as the famed

Stin More About Josiah
Rhodes.

PNt
wanted a briei extract 0
Rhodes confession. SO here
goes-brieily as possible ::
i AS stated in a former article
after the trial, conviction AMI
confinement in the peniIentia'
ry, embracing period of about
tour months in all, Rhodes
was despondent and in great
apparent mental depression
which so affected his physical
powers that he became a mere
wreck. On a certain sabbath
day, in August, 1856, the Chap
lain OF the penitentiary preach
ed a very earnest sermon on
the duty of confessing sin. Du-
ring its delivery Rhodes be-
came very much affected, and
rushing through The crowd Of
convicts, he threw himself at
the feet of the Chaplain saying
he had a soul TO be saved or
lost and that it could not be
saved unless he made full con.
fession of the crime that
brought him there. The chap
lain agreed to attend him at bis
cell in the afternoon of that
day. The chaplain went to the
cell according TO appointment,
and thereupon Rhodes gave
him substantially the following
history of the sad event:
On the morning that his faith
er went 10 Berlin TO visit his
old friends before removing
west, Josiah arose, got break
fast for all, and then, accompa.
MED his father 10 the train,
about a half mile distant, which
he was to take for Berlin. AZ
ter seeing the old gentleman on
the train Josiah returned to the
house, w9Shed the dishes, made
the beds, swept the house, put
some logs on the fire, brought
in a tin bucket of water piac-
ing it on the table, and was
about to start out to work,
when his brother Billy bad one
of his fits. He remained with
Billy until he recovered from
his paroxysm, whereupon he
became furious and violent, as |
he had frequently done before.
Billy being a very large rnuscu.
lar man, Josiah could not man
age him alone at such times and
was compelled to leave the
house, remaining outside all
day. lie would have gone
for help, but was afraid that.
Billy might burn the house du.
ring his absence. Billy re-
furious al day.
About sun down Billy be-
and Josiah entered
the house but found Billy ,ly.
ing on the fire from the effect
of another fit.
He Immediately seized him
and pulled him out OF the fire,
burning himself slightly in the
operation, also burning Lis
coat sleeves. The fire consisted
of the chaEred remains of the
logs that Josiah had put on
that day. Billy's clothes were
burned, and his body, o,where
he had Iome in contact with
these Goals. Josiah had dashed
the bucket of water that he had
placed on the table in the
morning on Billy TO quench the
fire which also seemed to have
the effect to bring him out Of
his fit. He thereupon assisted
him to his bed in the back part
of the room, and laid him on it.
He then started 10 60 Hamden
for his brother-in-law Nelson
Straun, to come and stay with
him, and for DR.. keenan, to
treat the burn. just as he
reached the door, the room be
ing qui Q dark, he heard some
thing behind, and looking
around he found Billy with the
