SOUTH NoRwALK, CoNN., March
l9.-For the past two weeks the
authorities of this place have been
endeavoring to revive the old "Blue
Laws" with regard to the obsery-
ance of the Sabbath, which were
enacted 100 years ago, and have
never been repealed. On Sunday
BARRIERS are forbidden to open their
shops for the accommodation of
their customers, newsmen are not
permitted to sell the New York
papers, and the hotels are obliged
to exercise considerable precaution
in order to obtain them. Milkmen
cannot serve their customers with
their morning supply of milk, and
thereby great inconvenience is
caused.
It is Impossible on that day to
hire carriage for a pleasure drive,
as the stablemen are commanded
to let their conveyances only to
persons wishing to drive to church.
The street cars also are ordered to
stop running on Sunday, but in a
measure this order is disobeyed,
and a few cars are run during the
day, Policemen patrol the streets,
and whenever a number of bows,
who do not appear to be bent on
any particular business, are found
together they are Immediately or
dered to go home, under penalty of

toned as to whether they were
going to church or not. But this
kind of interference has been found
to be impracticable, as the answers
to such questions are frequently
given in very emphatic and
forcible manner. Even the sections
Of the churches have been notified
not to ring the bells, because they
were paid for doing so, but this
order is disobeyed, and the bells are
still rung regularly as heretofore.
The citizens are very much an
noyed by these interferences with
their rights, and considerable in
dignation has been shown. Many
are very outspokep in their express
sions of disapprobation at the
enforcement Of these laws, and it
is not improbable that steps will be
taken to do away with code that

| SENATOR JONES AND THE COMMISSION.
The recent remarkable change of front
on the currency question by Senator
Jones, of Nevada, has already excited the
| surprise and attention of the country.
Senator Jones is said now to be so much
| affected with the imitation lunacy that
he is almost willing to go for, the free
weekly issue Of so many greepbacks per
head to every man, woman and child in
the country, Senator JONES' who is now
here, is preparing az lengthy financial
essay in the shape of his report as MEM
Der of the silver commission. ...,'
The extraordinary conversion of Sena-
tor Jones is due to no less person than
Gen. Benjamin p. Butler. Senator Jones
lives in one OF Buffers houses on Capitol
Hill and next door to the house occupied
by Butler himself so Butler has had
arple opportunity to pump his political
doctrines into hiIn.B 'l3ma7 Or a,4r

General Geo. A. Sheridan left Wash
ington. last night for New Orleans. The
first duty with which he is charged as
special agent Of the Postoffice Depart
ment is to examine into the cases of the
two colored postmasters in Louisiana
who alleged that the white people would
not let them take possession of their
Office. 'lsNinF NWo 1uH I'D 3Ial l''-H ai
Another scandal in relation to the
Louisiana returning board has just come
to light. When the members, of the
board were here last winter in custody
for contempt ofthe' House of Representa-
tives certain sympathizing Senstors and
members raised purse amounting to
81, 100 for them. The money was put in
the hands of one of the white members of
the board, and it now appears that neither
of the colored members gOt-any part of
it, although they were compelled to bor-
row money to get home.
THE CHARGES AGAINST THE NORTH
CARoL1NA MARSHAL.
United States Marshal Douglass, of
North Carolina writes that he will come
to Washington and demand an investi-
cation by the Attorney General of the
charges which have recently been made
against him. 1t is stated that the whole
amount of money involved in the alleged
false returns is not more than $500, while
the Government stands indebted now to
Marshal Douglas in the sum of $1,000. 1t
is alleged by the friends of Douglas that
the charges made against him are part
Of the conspiracy to displace him, and
that ex-senator Pool, Of North Carolina,
is one ofthe leading spirits in the scheme
1t is said that Franks and number of
the other deputies lived in the mountains
hundred of miles from the headquarters of
the marshal; that they frequently got up
whole sets of forged papers representing
trials before United States commissioners
discharges of prisoners, payments of wit
nesses, guards, &c. "A number, of forged
poy rolls were allowed by the marshal
who had no opportunity of detecting the
frauds, but finally his suspicious were
aroused and he refused to pay any more

the first district of New Orleans has
been in office only two months and a

at is well understood that the COM

that the real defendants are the eleven

to leave it's dead in a position where
they are liable to be vexed with sum

does not admit of discussion. Tits al

away the right of another owner whose

Bots in Horses and Sheep.

The following is taken from the course
Of lectures on Veterinary Science, dcliv-
cred at the University OF Vermont by
Noah Crcssy, NJ. D.:
"Bots arc grubS hatchcd from the eggs
of the bot fly. This fly is Il most active
and troublesome in the hottest weather.
In cold, wet weather it is dormant or
nearly so. They lay their eggs on the
legs Of the horse, from whence they are
taken into the stomach, where they hatch
into GrubS, and in this state are known rs
bots they attach themselves to the walls
Of the stomach and draw their nutrition
from that furnished the animal and from
the Juices of the stomach. They cause
some irritation, but are n0tgenerally very
troublesome. After Il time they fall oil
from the walls of the stomach and pass
off in the manure, from which thcy
emerge in the form Of Il fly, and again 90
through the same round.
BOTS may generally be expelled by
giving the horse Swectened milk. which
the grubs like, and wi. let 90 their hold
TO take it the better. An active cathartic
will then bring them away.
"AnOther form Of bot is found in tho
head of the sheep, where they called
grub-in-the-head. These como from an
egg laid in the nose of the sheen. where
they are Matched and work their way IN
the nasal passages, and in rams thew are
often found i'll the horns, but they never
work out Of these sinuses into the brain.
and the lecturer did not think they ever
caused death in sheep otherwise in good
condition.
"Another parasite found in the brain,
and often mistaken for the grub-in-thc
head, is the hydatid, coming from a tape
worm which is taken into the stomach
and finds its way through the circulation
to the brain, producing gid in the head.
No cure is known except cutting through
the skull and taking out the grub with a
crooked WIRE"
