The Cuban Insurrceiion.

New York, December 20--Prvate
letters from Spanish soldiers in Cuba
show that they are becoming democrat
lied, while the patriots are gaining
strength aud hope. One says; The
instruction appears each day TO be
gaining greater strength, and to be us
ing different systems Of warfare. The
whole country is full Of small bodies OF
men, numbering from 100 to 800, and
never day passes without our being
attacked by them. When we least ex-
pect it they pour two or three rounds
into Ms at close quarters, and then run
away, and as the woods are so thick
and the ground so uneven, we are
unable to pursue them, because they
know the land so much better than we
do In each ambush they will gener-
ally manage TO kill ten or twelve OF our
men, while we scarcely ever get a shot
at them at all, except on any attack We
may make on their camps, and then we
meet with most determined Resistance,
so that. as far as / can see, there is no
visible end to this business unless We
do as we did in San Domingo and give
them MP the island. Never mind what
the Spanish papers say: they write
only to deceive the young men Of Spain,
but what tell YOU is the true char ac-
ter OF this war.

Patriarchal Trees in Connecticut.

A Connecticut paper says: 1t is
probable that this state has no larger
forest trees than some which may be
found in the little town of Andover.
Elliot p. Skinner has standing upon has
land several chestnut trees, that are a
wonder to the beholder, the largest Of
which measures twenty feet in circum
ference three feet from the ground.
Not five minutes walk from these old
trees of Mr.. Skinner, in a southerly
direction, brings the traveller to a
cluster of chestnut trees on the farm of
General Calvin Daggett, which are not
inferior to those Of Mr. Skinner. They
are old and are truly grand to look
upon; one of them Is twenty-five feet
il circumference at the ground, and
the others are little less. They are
loaded with burs every autumn. Still
a little to the south of the last named
trees, on the estate Of William Henry
Harrison Daggett, are to be seen two
trees, also chestnut, equally as large as
any mentioned in the foregoing, if not
superior One is z little over twenty
three feet in circumference around its
tl'lnk. This tree is regarded as the
largest in the state

Something Rich and Rare.
From the New York Post.

No doubt the Prince Alexis has been
dazzlcd and lastingly impressed by the
magniiicence Of the banquets given
him here and in Boston, as the Prince
Albert Edward was some years ago.
Still, people who are about to surprise
the sons of kings with display ought to
know that something of the kind has
been seen in Europe. For instance,
the new edition of "Salad for the Sol
itary. " tells us that "Iho royal plate
at Windsor is kept in Il tolerably-slzed
room and adjoining closet, and is valu-
ed ut 1,750, 900 sterlings There is
one gold service, formed by George ",
TO dina one hundred and thirty guests;
Some pieces were taken from the Span
ish Armada, some brought from India,
Burmah, China" There are thirty
dozen Of plates which cost twenty-slx
guinoas each plate" People in mod
crate circumstances, who cannot com
pletely outshine the table that CLEANS
with many millions of dollars worth OF
gold and gems in its service, may as
vel, perhaps, avoid challenging the
comparison in this respect, and at
tempt no rivalry but in wit, social feel
ing and hospitable courtesy.

Fer THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
The sleepy Boy.


l know little boy,
And I've often heard it said
That he never was so tired
That he wished to 60 to bed.
Though he scarcely can hold UP
His druwsy little head,
Yet this very foolish boy
Cannot bear to go to bed.
When the big golden sun
Has lain down to sleep;
When the lambs every one
Are lying by the sheep;
When underneath its wing
Every chick tucks its head
Still this odd little boy
Does not like to go to bed.
Primroses and daisies
Have shut their bright eyes;
GrGsshoppers and crickets
Are singing lullabies;
The fire-fies have lighted
Their lamps bright and yellow;
And I'm sure its dreamiug-time
For this sleepy little fo how.
The houseless little child
Who has no place to sleep:
Who on the ground must lie,
or in some doorway creep:
Ger whom no clean white sheet,
No blanket soft, is spread
How happy he would be
If ne could ago to bed!"
But with O pretty nest
All warm and soft and white,
That's waiting for this boy,
When it's time to say " Goodnight ;"
With mammals loving kiss,
And her hand upon his hesd,-
How strange sleepy boy
should not hike to go TO bed

Diseased Digestion.

II chronic indigestion affected the stomach only 1t
might be more easily borne but it gives rise inevi
tably to many other diseases affecting the liver the
nerves, the bowels and the brain. Biliousness ner-
vous tremors, constipation, headache and terrible
mental disturbances are among Its usual accompa-
niments. In fact, every organ, every fibre Of the
frame sympathzes with the debilitated and deceased
stomach. What needed in sue a case? Clearly an
Alternative and invigorant; and among medicines CT
that class Hostetters Stomach Bitters Is beyond all
comparison or estimate the best. Mere purgatiyes
only deprive the system Of the little strength that
disease has left 1t. Salivants have the same effect
The whole internal organism has gone wrong and
can only be put right and kept right by medicine
in which the tonic and stimulating elements pretom-
idate, but qualified and modified by anti bilious
aperients and blood-purifying components Now,
the truth is, (and the medical faculty well as the
pnblic know the fact that Hostetters Bitters con-
tain every ingredient requisite for the of dyspep
STA and all the ailments of body and mind which 1t
involves. This has been proved in 30 many thou
sands instances that 1t seems almost Idle to re-
peat the statemedt.
The great tonic rallies exhausted nature, from
whatever enfeebled, and permanently recruits
the vigor Of the nerves. the muscle and the brain.
Its effect upon the brain is to give strength to the
will and precision to the judgment, and to Danish
dependency and that infrmity of purpose which
generally accompanies bodily weakess.

pally by envious competitors. Therefore it Is
only with feelings and desire Of true Justice alike to

In many respects, really inferior, particularly as
hereby declare positively without fear Of successful
contradiction, that which fully believe ahd to all
intents substantially know, and that solely by my
own personal, earnest uniring observation and con-
clusion-not somebody's else say so-that there Is
other Turbine Wheel which will yield much power
from the same amount Of water used under like
situation. Besides, consider the other points Of
superiority set forth by the proprieors generally

The Trial Of the Alleged Poisener.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 16.-The trial of
Lydia Sherman, for poisoning, was continued
this forenoon. The Court ruled out the ev.-
dence which the State proposed to show as to
previous poisonings, and the crOss-examnation
of DR.. Beardsley followed. 1'
II. n. Sherman, son of deceased, was next
called His testimony was confined principally
to his fathers actions about the time Of his
death. His father was taken sick Monday eve
ming. He had dinner sent to him by his wife
in basket. In the evening he was taken with
vomiting. The sickness lasted till Friday,
when death followed. Mrs. Sherman had the
sole care of her husband till Thursday.
The Court adjourned at O'clock witness ON
the stand.
The examination of young Sherman was be-
gun in the afternoon. He testified that his
fathers spasms were very unusual and that
he had never had any before. His father did
not sleep with his mother owing to some trouble
and witness did not know when they were mar
ried. -..--
DR.. Penney was next called. He attended
the deceased on Thursday night and found him
suffering with all the symptoms of arsenical
poisoning. There was vomiting, purging,
peculiar breathing and huskiness of voice. He
made up his mind that the deceased had taken
poison and gave him prescription of sub nj
trate of bismute to allay the pain. He thought
that there should be post norton examine
know E,no that he %onId take ont the liver and
stomach. He did SO and took them to New
Haven. He told her that the post mortem
showed inflammation of the stomach. DIR. Pen
ney's evidence was substantially the same as
that of DR. Beardsley yesterday. DIR. Shelton
will be examined tomorrow. The interest in
the trial is intense -s.
