than five years last past that the 18th day
of October, 1864, to wit: at New Haven in said
County, she was, her then maiden name being
Della Sturtevant, Joined in marriage with Arba
Perry, the libelee. by Reuben Remission, then a
minister of the gospel, preaching at Weybridge,
duly authorized by the laws of the State to sol e
emnize such marriage therein; that from tho
time of said marriage till the first day of Noyem-
Der, 1863, she lived with the said Arbi Perry as
his wife in the faithful discharge of all the duties
incumbent on her as the wife of the said Arba

titioner and has slice, for more than three
years, wholly neglected and refused to live with
or provide for the petitioner his wife, and has
wholly neglected to discharge any of the duties

further shows to this Honorable Court thatl she
has one child, boy, the result of said marriage,
born the 2Ith pay of July, 1861 and prays that
the legal custody of said child may be decreed to
her.
She therefore prays that this Honorable Court
will order and decree that the petitioner be d.

to be sole, single and unmarried.
our ilDellant alleges that since the hrst day

LEcEsTER.-W are sorry that the re-
mark made by an anonymous person from
this town some weeks since, in regard to
the mail carrier, have caused any un-l
pleasantness. Doubly so, as subsequent
events and facts show that the person all
luded to, in the article aforesaid was fan
from being beast and was not suffi 4
GENTLY intoxicated to prevent him from
faithfully and satisfactorily discharging
his duties. And when we reflect that
many who never drink anything stronger
than cup OF tea or Coffee do not do as
well, we are inclined to consider his Of
fence as slight and trivial. Our temper
ancc friends must beware how they call
an erring fellowman "bcast." There is
deeply Implanted in this, Gods noblest
work Of Creation an eternal principle Of
good God-given--that no vile habit or
passion, can ever eflacc.

BRrsroL.-On Thursday March 9th,
raid was made upon the liquor dealers in
Bristol, resulting in the filming of one ho-
tel keeper, two saloon keepers, and one
private dealer in liquid hell fire. States
Attorney Lucia conducted the rrosecu-
ton Of all the respondents with ability
and candor. Justices Scarf and Dunshee
presided at the trials. The first case was
a saloon keeper who pleaded guilty of one
olfensc was fined SO aud costs. Saloon
keeper No. was found guilty of one OF.
Tense, third conviction, and was fined $50
and costs, and sentenced to three months
Imprisonment according to law, from
which the respondent appealed to the
County Court. Then David llamlin. the
private dealer was fined SO and cost.
Finally, Mr.. Ridley, of the Bristol House
pleaded guilty oe two ofienscs and was
fined $40 and costs. We are informed
that some of the good people Of Bristol
desired to protect the hotel from suffering
the consequences Of its illegal traffic, and
because the States Attorney felt that the
duties of his Office compelled him to pro-
coed against that rumshop with the 9TH
crs, were indignant thereat. and endeav-
ored to annoy him and perhaps obstruct
the processes of law 10y evasion and noisy
demonstrations in court. We hope for
the credit of the good AMI cntcrprising
town OF Bristol that we have been misin-
formed on that point.

TERRIBLE MORTALITY.

The population of the First ward,
when the yellow fever broke out, was
about 5000, making allowance for con-
siderable number ou. of the city. When
the epidemic is over aud careful count
made We believe it will appear that 400
people have died in that ward alone, or
about one.twelfth Of the population.
Such mortality has seldom been known
at any period or place in the United
States. The census Of the First ward,
taken by the county since the national
census of 1870, was burned up by the
fire which occurred at the courthouse
some months ago, but other data indi-
cate about the population named above.
Its defamation is not so easily ascer-
tanned, but we will figure at it again
when we can ind time to count up the
mortuary lists in that district
