BRIDGEPORT, March, 9, 1875.


 DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 2Oth inst. duly received. I was away for day or two and since my return have been busily engaged in the trial of a case. I have known Dr. Hubbard now something more than twenty-five years. He came to Bridgeport when quite young and com menced the practice of his profession. He was, think, an entire stranger. He IS a native of Middlesex county. He soon ob- tained a considerable practice which has steadily increased from that time to the present He soon gained the confidence of our entire community, which he has ever retained. He is a man of most excel lentreputation, in every respect reliable and trustworthy. He stands at the head of his profession in the county. He is also e man of large attainments aside from his profession. He has always been con slstent straightforward Republican. He will neither steal or make his office . means of traffic or profit. He left lu- crative practice and went to war as Sur geon of the 17th Regiment, which was in great part enlisted from this county. He was soon promoted to the position of Medical Director of the 11th Army Corps. You can safely recommend him as in every respect worthy and we'll qualified to dis charge acceptably the duties of member of Congress s-I think he will run very con- siderabiy ahead of his ticket in this city and it's vicinity You will excuse my writ ing 50 briefly. s @ sss5isa

AaAIYsis:,oF FERrLlzERs.

D IhG Board of Agriculture proposes to 1urnlsh to farmers of the State of Connec- ticnt grptuitous analyses of fertilizers, to tho axtent warranted by the means at it's command, and under the conditions herein praapribed- The undersi9ned will accord ingiy received properly selected samples, put them in the hands of the Chemist, and report the analysis as soon as finished to the parties who sent the samples, in order, as far as possible, to make the analyses of immediate use.
 In case of fertilizers costing over $20 co per ton, the analsyis will generally include only the three most valuable elements, viz:- -phosphoric acid, nitrogen Cor ann monia), and potash. The last named ele- ment will not be regarded except in 'spot- ash salts, and in articles claimed to con- tain three t3) per cent. or more of potash. As the Chemist can do but a limited amount ot work, the quantities of mois- tnres sand. lime, and other substances be. sides the three above named will not us- ually be ascertained in guanos, super phosphates. and the like. The samples received will he examined in the order of thelr coming In case more samples are sent than can be examined, the undersiqn- ed VIII nse his direction in making selec- tlon among duplicates of the same brand. The following discretions must be strict ly followed in order to obtain fair samples, and to do justice to manufactures, dealers, and Consumers:

A Danbury Spelling School.

An impromptu selling school was inau- gurated in Merril's grocery, Saturday evening. A young man, who, last winter, aided Mir. Couch in the management of the North Centre school, conducted the class. The first word he gave out was L,- dian.
 The first man said, "I n, in. din din Indln."
 The teacher shook his head. Well, I declare. l thot had it, said the speller, with keen disappointment; but he picked up when the second man started, and eyed him with considerable anxiety.
 The next man. with desperate earnest ness, said. 'I-n, in, de, de, inde, u-n, un -lndeun."
 Then he sighed. and gazed anxiously at the teacher, while an old party at the end of the bench who was watching the effort with derisive amusement, turned the quid in his mouth, and said:
 "You ain't in 8 rod ont; but go on; let's su more try"
 The teacher told the second speller that he also had failed, whereupon he sighed again,
 Then the third man took hold. He squared himself upon his seat, and hold ing up one finger, ticked of the letters with becoming soiemnity, as follows: sI-n In, d-d d-a da, inda-i-n in-Indain.'' The old party on the end of the bench. who had been teetering on the precipice of laugh while this effort was being put forth, snickered right out in 8 loud guffaw at its conclusion.
 ssWell, that's spell for you, I mus say" And then he laughed again. The speller said nothing. but he grew very red In the face when his failure was announc- ed, and cast baleful glance at the old party, whose turn had now come, and who said:
 ''You yeople should keep away from Oheo, you should. And now I'll tackle that little word. and he smiled all over his face,whi his eyes twinkled with mer- rlment, and looking sideways from one to the other, he rapidly spelled } 3 'I-n in, gin gin, Ingin." His smile deepened into a broad grin as he watched the chagrin flush to the coun- tenanees of the other spoilers, who had been misled ali the time on a wrong pro .nunciation of the word. He was grin ming with all his might when the teacher
 You ain't got the right word.' 3r"Wh-ah-Ot ?" and he bore down on the SAeNz.oA AoSCN yOuuS Aau U LOOK CalCulaGeO to freeze him to the bone.
 '1ndian is the word. There is no such word as Ingin," said the teacher.
 70, there isn't: hey? (sarcasticaIly) You know. of course. You know ali about 1t, you pimply-"
 But, my dear SIT, T." -.-.....
 "You needn't apologize to me, " shouted the old party, stamping the floor with his cane. s'Who be you, any way, putting on your airs about mel I could twist your scrawny neck off of you in two minutes, you white: :ivered puppy, you.

k A gentleman. here, has received the fol- lowing letters from prominent Republi- cans in Fairfield County:
 STAMFORD, March g, 1875.
 My DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 2Oth, inst. :, is received Dr. Hubbard, our candidate for Congress, is a man of more than ordi- nary ability, an accomplished physician. and highly educated; above all he is strict ly honest and will make an admirable member of Congress.
 He is now about 45 years of age. have known him we'll for 20 years and speak from personal knowledge. The Dr. went to the late war as Surgeon of the 17th Regiment and was very soon promotal to the position of Division Surgeon. He is we'll worthy. Do everything you can for him. There is a vast deal of dissatisfac- tion with Barnum in this county, and if we all take hold and work in earnest until sun-down of the 1st Monday in April, l think we can elect the Doctor.
 You know the New York Tribune, a few weeks ago, said Barnum ran for Congress every two years and all the rest of the time ran away from it. Dr. Hubbard isn't that sort of a man. He is able, hon. est, and will be faithful.

THE FAILURE OF THE LOUISIANA 'sC1AIM-
 ANT.-The Pinchback party in the United States Senate escaped defeat Tuesday week by & sudden and swift evasion. The
 able speech of NIT. Edmunds showed con- clusively what had before begun to be piaiR that the Republican senators were
 so far from a unit in support of the Lou islana claimant" that enough of them would vote with the democrats to reject
 him if the question were then put. So, af- ter Mir. Morton had closed the debate. MT. West moved poekponement of the
 matter until next December. and the mo-
 ton prevailed by avote of S to 90. This
 was bit of strategy, of course. and Mr.
 West led the movement as the only one
 which could save the remnant of extrem- ists from getting cut to pieces. Whether it
 will eventually help them may be doubt
 ed. The Pinchback party will scarcely gain any strength during the coming sum l mer. It is improbable that the Ausumnal
 canvass will so far emphasize popular opinion on the southern question a to
 prevent any step backward For the fail
 ure of the Louisiana s'claimant'' is an a1-
 vance in the same direction towards which the Republican majority turned, however
 reluctantly. just before the adjourn
 ment of the Forty-third Congress: The
 passage of the Force bill by the House of Representatives was the crisis of the
 southern question. The subsequent de-
 feat of the bill was the turning point. The
 adoption of the Arkansas and Louisiana resolutions marked a reaction towards req
 son and justice. The catastrophe of Pinch back shows that the reaction is not ar-
 rested, nor will it be. Whether the dissatisfied Republicans of the Louisiana legislature will join with the conservatives t-who will presently have . majority in !! one branch of it-iR choosing senator in
 place of Pinchback may be doubtful: but it is not at all doubtful that, whoever may be admitted by the Senate next Decem-
 Der. 1t will not be the claimant. .N. F.

COLDS MAGIC WROUGHT IRON HEATER

s new invention by S. J. Gold the inventor combines in one, many of the pecullarities of both those heaters. It is contracted of boiler plate iron tightly riveted, and it's durability will be such as to be smoke dust. and gas-tlght for years. The smaller sizes cost but little more than parlor stove, and with the same amount of coal, will heat much more space than the stove.
 For economy in cost, for heating capacity, and for the saving of the heat the coal makes that of pure and June-like quality. it challeng es comparison with any heater in the market.
 Use one of these heaters and all the smoke, dust and gas which so often fill the house, store or office where stoves are used is avoided. Send for circular to the Manufacturers.

The Death IF 2 Gambler.

The morning papers announce the
death of Johnny Hill, better known in
New York as Cooley Keys. Cooley
was one of the characters Of the great
city. Originally mechanic, he be-
came a gambler early in life and ran
the usua race of men in that protes-
sion. He owned many gambling
houses and made large gains Of money
thereby. But of late years he has
taken the wrong side of the table, and
has lost as rapidly as he formerly
made. His chief claim to distinction
was his dress. He was, probably, the
best dressed man in New York. He
never Wore pair of boots more than one
day, his shirt-fronts were made in Par
is at cost Of $3.50 per dozen, and he
bought gloves in quantities Of $1,000
and $4,000, wearing never less than
four or FIVE pairs { day. But he died
poor, as all such men do Thousands
and hundreds of thousands poured
through his hands, but what comes
over the devils back goes under his
belly He died in a garret, in abiect
misery. with but the barest necessares
OF life, aud was buried a pauper. He
had his little day Of fierce pleasure and
then came his night And what a
night. As poor Cooley lay upon his
wretched cot, in the pains of mortal
sickness, [ wonder if he did not think
it would have been better for him if
he had followed his original business
OF brass casting and lived and died a
decent man. Precious little comfort
could dying man get out Of memories
OF life made up of cards, prostitutes
and fine clothes.
