CONNECTICUT TRAINING
 SCHOOL,
 For Nurses.

Arrangements have been made with the au- thorities of the State Hospital in New Haven, for the establishment of School for Training Young Women who desire to fit themselves for the position of professional nurses.
 Many of the physicians and other leading men of the State are interested in the success of the enterprise, and desirous of securing for the sick in private families and pnblic institutions skill full and accomplished nurses. The Profession Is An Honorable One as much so for women as that of medicine for men, It is the hope of the founders of this school, that women of devotion and education, will give themselves, here, as they do in England and Germany, to this useful work. which, while involving some personal sacrifice, amply repays in interest, and secures Sufficient Support.
 The school will possess many advantages, a thorough course of instruction is planned and the graduates will be furnished with certif cates of ability which will enable them to secure posi- tions tor the care of the sick. Board and Lodg- ing will be provided free, and No Charge Made for tuition.
 Pupils will be received from any state All desiring further information may apply to the Secretary of the Society,", --4a-gs-- .--aessa ..-s

In the senate Senator Pease wanted to
Increase the appropriation for the SUI
ferers by the overflow, stating in his mo-
tiou 10 that effect that he had received
a letter from the governor Of Mississippi
giving information that at least twenty
6ve thousand people were destitute.
His motion was agreed to, and the vote
was reconsidered and the bill amended
so as to read two hundred and fifty thou
sand instead Of ninety thousand dollars.
A new order Of government for the
District Of Columbia is propOsed by Sen
ato Stewart. Senator Thurman intro
duced q resolution, which was agreed
10, instructiDg the finance committee to
inquire and report whether the provision
Of law forbidding the sale Of tobacco by
the producer thereof to any person not
3 licensed dealer, ought not 10 be re-
ne. 1led. Senator Sargent introduced re-
solu ton, which was referred, doing away
with all distinction as regards race and
color in army enlistments, and that all,
instead of few regiments and company
s,rganizah ons be declared opened to in
discriminate recruits. The committee
on appropriations recommended an sp-
propriation for the construction of a
steamboat-canaJ from Gadsden to We

THE OVERFLOW.

The news from below is not encourag-
ing. Crevasses are still pouring volumes
of muddy water over an already deluged
country, and the anxieties as well as
miseries of the people are increasing.
The outlook there is stiil gloomy, but
from above there comes a ray of hofe.
Tennessee, Mississippi, White and Ar
kansas rivers are falling, and the Ohio
at all points save Evansville, where
there is reputed five-inch rise. The
st. Francis is rising fast, but this being
from the backwater falling from the
merged lands lying between it and the
Mississippi, we DO not feel uneasy as to
the result. Our friends below have there
fore some comfort and occasion for
uhankfulness. In week or so, at fur
thest, the flood will have abated, and
they may have an Opportunity-st some
points, at least-to profit by it.
