The Commission protest most forcibIy against the cruelty of herding the pau pers of different towns in one com mon establishment where they can be maintained at a cheap rate. GAS age and inirmities creep upon the pauper they fall with increased severity if he is sent amongst strangers. who care for him for 8 stipend, and with none of the love of a relative or townsman. Poverty itself is galling enough, but the manner in which relief is afforded may lessen it's burden or increase it's severity"
 The important disclosure of this part of the report, made incidentally as it were. is that our criminals are much better boarded and lodged than our pau pers. At the very time that our State poor were being badly lodged in narrow, crowded rooms, and bearded by contract at a about dollar a week, new jails were being built all over the State, affording far superior lodgings and accommodations to prisoners, and the State was paying the uniform rate of three dollars. week for their board This shameful preference of the criminal to the pauper has been purely the result of a neglect for which future legislatures will have no excuse.
 The Commission call attention to the abuses that have grown up under the laws that furnish discharged soldiers free treatment at the Hartford and New Haven Hospitals. An allowance has been made of $6 a week for each patient of this class. and, in the language of the gov ernor, has to very considerable extent. converted the Hospitals at Hartford and New Haven into mere chapels of ease for discharged soldiers who are able to earn a living, but arc too improvident or indo- lent to do it, and in some cases for mere impostors. Under this system the State expenses at the hospitals have more than quadrupled in the past five years, and amount in 1876 to the extravagant sum of $41, ,00O.
 The commission speaks in very high terms of the valuable work done by Dr. Knight in establishing his School for I'm beetles at Lakeville, and are glad that the present legislature has recognized the need of this institution by suitable ap- propriation, and by the passage of an act allowing the commitment of imbeciles to it by Judges of Probate, on proper exam ination and finding of facts.

To Correspondents.

We are ourselves much annoyed, and our correspondents are much discour- aged, by the frequent postponement of their letters from one week to another. The occasion of the trouble is this. Near ly one half of the printed natter needed for our inside pages is usually in type by Monday night. Often little cor respondence has reached us by that time. The next day there is a rush of letters and advertisements, and a good deal of space is needed for news, and com ments upon the news. Then several let ters are unavoidably crowded over till the next issue. We see no way of avoid ing the difficulty but by forwarding cor respondence, early; if some could be sent in even as early as Saturday it would be all the better.

Their stock of fine oarpetines and house furnishing goods is always attractive. while they are always oHering some real bargains in Dry Goods.
 It is becoming an established fact that the interior of our dwellings can be furn- ished with carpets and wall decorations by Messrs HALL < READ of Bridgeport in better taste and at a less expenditure than by any other firm for the following req sons: They make their own carpets and control the designs. of the new decorations and can therefore not only fit up houses with good harmony in the fittings but save the purchasers one profit
