WASHINGTON, March 18th. 1875.

WASHINGTON, MarcH 1otI. 10IJ. Good old Deacon Punderson used to say if 1t were possible lie would be ''glad
 to have March plotted from the calender" 1 He detested that month mere than poets do November, ''the saddest of the year. Were he living now, he would be not less
 disgusted than of wore, but last aeek We
 had two sunny days without an interven- ing stormy one, and it was voted that We
 should make note of 1t. When We
 are enduring a protracted season of cold,
 disagreeabie weather We are apt to think i longingly of the Sunny r'outh.' but l friend at Houston, Texas, writes uuder
 the date of March list, We have hardly
 seen the sun in three months and 1 never
 saw tue streets Ill so bad condition be fore" So We do not suffer disagreables alone. ! Another of our respected citizens has gone to his rest. Mr. Bennett G. Fenn
 died early this morning after very brief illness. Although mentioned by ''S' in his list of old people he had not at all the appearance of an old man. but seemed
 hardly past the prime of life, and .his pe- riod of usefulness bade fair to continue yet many years.
 Notwithstanding the very bad state of
 the roads a goodly number of our people
 are expecting to go tomorrow evening to
 New Milford to see ''Neighbor Jack
 wood" who is at present the most popu-
 lar parsonage in this vicinity. Think he
 would run we'll fnr office? X railroad di-
 rect!y to N. M. would be appreciated just
 now. We hope that the talked of excur- sion from Litchfeld here on Thursday evening will not be all talk, and that we may see some of our friends on that occa- sion.

There was an Oyster Supper and sur prise party at the house of MT. James Blake on Thursday evening last. All en- joyed themselves in dancing until the smaller hours when they broke mp and started home satisfied that they had had a good tune.
 Last Friday evening, MT. John Bar ton, of East Cornwall, closed his school with a spelling school. There was not very much spelling, the time being mostly em- ployed with declamations. dialogues, &c.
 In former communication I mention -ed the name of Mrs. Mary Phelps as hay ing spelled. the school down. It was mistake and should have been Mrs. Abby Phelps. The same lady spelled them all down, last Friday evening. After the school most of the folks present went to the house of Mir. Daniel Beach, (Mr. Bar tons boarding place) for short call, af- ter which we all went home wishing Mir. Barton many seasons as pleasant as he has had with us this winter He is every where spoken of as an efficient and cap- able teacher. We hope to keep up our spelling schools until the 18th of April, which will be about as long as the even- ings will permit. The next one is to be next Wednesday evening. JACK.

 The Rev. MT. Morrison, of your place, exchanged pulpits with Mir. Gidman re- gently.

Has the President had fight with tt e dog

gentleman sat at a window short time since
he saw two of the official dog catchers en- ticiDe
his canine into the street, which they had no
sooner done than they seized him and at
tempted to throw him into their cart, the dog
resisting violently.
"Mr. Sharp went to the rescue of his faKorite

the left shoulder, and the boor went1owH like

A Fugitive From JUS tice.
She Sails for Parts Unknown, and After
Six Weeks is Captured.

Some six weeks ago woman named Ellen
White robbed soldier on Burgundy street Of
$50 in United States currency. She was ar
rested, and, after preliminary e Examination
before the Second Municipal Police Court, was
sent before the Superior Criminal Court un-
der $500 bonds.
Her bondsman, who happened to be an
honest man, applied to Capt. Malone for as
sistance to find the fugitive from ju stice. The
case was placed in the hands of Detective
George L. Cain for working up. Mo hday even
ing the truant was introduced to tile Chief of
Detectives by Capt. Cain as THE person
wanted by Sheriff VIM. Pagan.
1t appears that upon finding she was in q
tight place, if she appeared before that Hon.
Court, she took the Morgan Railroad in the
early part of June and went to Brashear,
where she stayed few days, but upon re-
ceiving information from this city that Capt.
Cain was after her, changed her location to
more remote quarters.
Letters from her friends in New Orleans
seemed to have gone astray, al thus
divulged her hiding. place. She freely ac-
knowledges how she came to leave bier bonds
man In lurch, and how her sister was pre-
vented from coming to see her while on q
sick bed and while away from ONE and
friends.
This is one of the cases where hose poor
wretches are misled and drawn intp trouble
through the Vaccinations of those who should
protect them.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, July 10. The Postmaster
General has requested the Attorney General
to designate counsel to attend to the appliea-
ton pending in the United States Circuit
Court in New York for a mandamus to com
pei the Postmaster at New York to receive a
book package for mail transmission to Phila-
delphia at the old rates.
The Postmaster General says he knows but
little of the merits of the case, further than
that the postmaster was acting in the line of
his duty in accordance with the law
Judge Spence, Assistant Attorney-Gen
eral for the Post-Otfice Department.,
states that there may be some plausi-
Bile ground for the position taken by the
plaintiff in this case, but that decision in
favor OF the mandamus would greatly con-
Ease the service, as there were several impor-
tant amendments in the law which originated
in the Senate among them the new law con-
corning postage on newspapers, etc., sent
from the office of publication, all of which
would be thrown back upon the old law if
the mandamus should be granted.
Bristow and Attorney General Pierrepoint
will return tomorrow. Robson is here.

General of steam vessels. and Supervising
Inspectors A. Lowe, of New York, and VIM.

A SUMMER ScHooL-Our learned and es-
teemed friend the Hon. r. M. Luz her, is
universally acknowledged to be one of the
most accomplished, thorough and successful
teachers of youth in the South. Years. of ex-
perience have enabled him to fix upon q
method which, we think is as near erfection
as can be attained. He is conscientious
teacher, and always bestows the best cdre and
attention upon his scholars and, though his
discipline Is strict, it is not too rigoro hs-no
reasonable parent can make a complaint on
this score. MIR. Lushers vacation school is
now at "the full tide Of successful experi-
ment." We take pleasure in making this an
nouncement to boys who wish to continue
their studies during the summer, and tb those
whose engagements prevent them from at
tending school in the winter.

rain have been mixed up in about equal pro-
portions-the latter, however, taking unfair
advantage during the night, when Old Sol
was doing duty on the celestial side of the
globe.
That so bitter and long continu ed quarrel
should have occurred Just at this time be-
tween Pluto and his spouse is pc culiarly I'M
fortunate, as thousands will be deferred from
visiting the lake to witness the re gatta. The
carriage road, which is none of the best even
in good weather, was made pretty sloppy by
continuous showers, SO that the bulk of the
spectators went down in the steam cars, which
left every half hour.
