 I am in Meriden, and have no news from Goshen. The three delegates from Goshen who attended the tenth annual Convention of the Ys M., C. Associations at Bristol. last week. .-were we'll paid fos go- ing There were S9 delegates present. and 4 from out of the state. The meetings for two days were intensely intere: ting. The next convention is to be at Ansonia. Many Goshen people have settled in; ;Bris- tol, among whom are the families of3Vil- bert Bartholomew, Clark Davis and An. son l.. Atwood. Mir. Atwood lived fof many years at the Chapiu place. and bis father set out the naples by the house of Jonathan B. Thompson. Of course many questions were asked about the Revolu- tionary Liberty Pole. and he says that if we have q acelebrasion there nextFourth of July, quite likely he may be around: I was much interested with my visit in the graded school under the care of MT. Pratt, in the south part of the allags. Thsge is no use in trying to get the start of the young ladies in that School. for they are instructed in arithmetic, grammar and other branches very thoEougly.
 In few minutes after my arrival at Meriden I was on my way alone to see that wonderful mountain. called the Hanging Rock; that dark perpendicular object which we see from Ivy Mountain. A rude path has been made, and we can windasound to thsiyery top. Here are the names of hundred persons cut in the solid rock and here we have g view of the whole city of Meriden., and the large villages of Berlin, Yalesvilles New Britain, Southington, Plantsville, Cheshire: and Wallipgford. and the beau tiful country around. Yet the greatest wonder is, how could such enormous mas sesof trap rock be raised up for hundreds of feet through the red sand stone, which appears on the lands below. .s. ,.~p

What man who gave . note in November. 1865, payable in No- yember. 1875. did not then expect that he would have to pay it in gold dollars. or their equivalent? Should he whine if forced to fulfil his contract exactly as he expected to fuldi it when he made it {?

 If the history of paper currencies proves anything, it proves that . currency re- deemable only in bonds bearing 3.65 per cent. interest in go,d. would soon come to be worth only what those bonds might fetch as an investment, probably some seventy per cent. of their par value. When such Q currency is redeemable only in bond paying 3.65 interest in eurren- cy. another element of depreciation is in. troduced which we need not attempt to calculate. since then there would be no practical limit to it's depreciation. A Con- tinental or Confederate currency, depre- ciated to one hundreth of its nominal value. would not be made perceptibly more valuable by becoming convertible into bond paying 3.65 per cent. interest in such currency.

As remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection.
