 Ladies cloaks in great variety at tho Wonder Store, Waterbury.
 Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker preached in the Universalist church at Bridgeport on Sunday of last week.
 Since The Germans voted the RepubIi can ticket in Ohio the Democrats are turned Temperance men. In Cleveland and Chillicothe they are trying to cut of the Dutchman's beer.
 In our issue of the 14th, c mistake wal made in the report of Q Superior court ease. It was in William A, Stanton's ap peal from Probate, not Catharine o. Stiles appeal, that Q verdict of S2,976.8 89 was rendered in favor of Mary H. Sardam, fol seventeen years services in the family oi Alex. ROrabacker. which sum is about S2OO more than the commissioners award. cd her, and from whose report the appeal was taken.
 The British government has appointed sn international copyright commission. Oar government should certainly do as much for the protection of American au- thors. and the commissioners could prob ably agree on some plan that would afford the authors of both nations the justice that has been so long delayed. America has been busy for years protecting all kinds of home product but in- telIectuaI product Imagine state of law that would allow a class of importers to steal the product of foreign manufac- ture and ruin our own manufacturers by compelling them to compete with these stolen wares! This is precisely what re. suits from the law of copyright.
 M. Rouher. the Bonapartist leader in the French Assembly, delivered remark. ably bitter speech to his constituents, on the 18th inst, in which he attacked M. Thiers and the Orleanists and censured President McMahon. This is a good sign. It is in effect c confession that the Imperialists cannot make c tool of the President in the interest of the Bona. partes. As matters now look. the Orlean- ists appear to have made up their minds to accept the constitution, and the Repub. lie such as it is, waiting for a more favor able opportunity to effect Bourbon res. toration.
 Mir. George 4. Bell has been crowded out of Plymouth church. He was called sharply to account, recently, by one oi teachers of the Plymouth Bethel, who asked him whether he believed Mir. Beech. CT innocent. Mir. Bell declined answering the question, and proposes to ask his dis. missal from the church. Mrs. Hattie Bradshaw; to whom Mrs. Hilton confessed her guilt, and her husband, have asked letters of dismissal.
 Although it may seem little as if the belief in Beecher was made of more impor. tance in Plymouth church than the belief in Christ, we think, on the whole, the question asked Mir. Bell was a pertinen, one. Nobody who has serious doubts of Mr. Beecher's innocence, has any business in Plymouth church.
 The libel prosecutions against Moultou and TiltOn have been nOlted. It would have been impossible to convict them, and the result of the trial would have been another deluge of scandal, and another disagreement of the jury.
