was provided that the new bonds should
be made ''redeemable in coin at the pres
ent standard of value" Thatlaw gentle
men, had no uncertain meaning. The
new bonds were to be substituted for all
the outstanding fve.twenty bonds they
were to be sold for coin and it was to be
made part of their language that they
shall be made "redeemable in coin of the
present standard value" My views on
the subject were recently considered Of
sufficient Importance by distinguished
citizen of New York to call for review
and answer by himself. He had unques-
tionably given the phraseology of the
laws relating to the bonds closer study
than had, for it was in the line of his
business and his profits. had examin-
ed those laws with no professional or bu-
siness purpose, but only as q citizen in
terested in the financial policy of the
country. He found it useful to his algu-
ment to show, if possible, that the law
under which the public debt was being
refunded required the debt to be paid in
gold. He used this language: "Yet /
am supported by the opinion Of illustri-
GUS lawyers in the land that gold pay
ments Of the debt are required and assur-
ed by the Refunding Act of 1870 itself,
which indeed mentions generally coin in
its first section, but in its fifth section, to
carry out the act, excludes silver and
specifically commands the Secretary of
the Treasury to receive only gold coin as
the coin Of deposit and payment" l am
sure it will astonish you, after hearing
this passage read, to learn that the fifth
section has nothing whatever to do with
the provisions and sale of the new bonds.
1t provides for this and nothing more:
that the Secretary of the Treasury might,
for two years, receive gold on deposit,
and issue gold certificates bearing low
rate ofinterest,and that the deposit might

 We cannot find words in which to express our regret that ''H." of Morris was deterred from visiting Harwinton through fear that we should publish him. He did not report us when we went q sparkling in Morris, year ago. and we would have been equally as leni- ent with him if he SO desired it. He hasn't got ''cheek" enough for good reporter, though he seems to have faculty for good compost tion. We suggest that he spare a little of his modesty for the young men and women oi the period, many of whom are sadly in wan | of that artlcle LITTLE GHoNNIE.

-MR. EDIToR. cannot some of our public spirited townsmen be induced to pub fish. another edition of the history of Litch- field?
 The valuable histories of Messrs. Woodruff and Kilborn are entirely out of print and not even a copy is to be found in the public library of the town.
 Probably no place of it's size in the Union is so replete with valuable historic facts as this small town. The time and circumstances of it's first settlement, the prominence of the im- mediate descendants of it's first settlers, in arms, the arts, in learning, finance and pollt- ical economy-their great sacrifices and suffer- ings for the mother country in the ''Oid French War;" their greater sacrifices and sutferlnSS, and their patriotism, in 'the times that tired mems souls" will afford cause Of honest pride to their posterity of the present day. What town in the Union, of it's population, has given birth to so many highly distinguished men? Where have there been so many of this class reared and educated as in it's renowned law schools? Where have so many incidents oc- cured of interest to those curious in matters of history?
 The writer of this is the owner of the hlsto- ries above referred to and would not part with either of them. That of Mir. Kilborn-the most voluminous- has loaned from time to time to gentlemen of high position, who having heard something of Old Litchfield have solicit ed perusal of this work. and have read it with great satisfaction and pleasure, expressing great desire to find and own a copy and willing to pay for it five times it's cost.
 It is to be regretted that the book was not stereotyped, and that the author died so soon after its publication. Litchfeld, always an attractive village, is yearly becoming more of a place of summer resort for that reason and, on account of the healthfulness of it's air; but strangers desire something more in sojourn, than fine drives and extensive views, or books readily to be obtained elsewhere. The history of this town would gratify this desire, and il is to be hoped that it may be republished and several copies placed in the town library. The sale would doubtless be a source of profit to the pablisher. CIvIs.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 18th. 1S7S

WASHINGTON, Aug. ISJn, ISIS.
 MR. EDITOR. R.-The thunder storm of Thurs day last was disastrous to John Black, he having two steers killed by the lightning, and Mrs. Blacks son, Myron Kinney, narrowly escaping the same fate. He was approaching the tree from the milk-house, when It was struck, and four creatures were knocked down, two of them never rising. The concussion sent him seven feet, but probably the electricity not affect him primarily. The next day Mr. Black suffered from the mad pranks of the wind, and on Saturday, when we essayed to make call of condolence, we found it diff cult to reach his house, the yard was so full of fallen trees and huge branches from the few trees than remained standing. Mrs. Black had not only the loss of her fine old trees to regret, but some of her choice house plants were ruined, among them a thirty years old cactus, with hundred or more buds and blossoms on it.
 The storm was very capricious and while waiting for the wagon at the depot, we were entertained by the accounts given by people from different parts of the town. One from New Preston said that on the Hill Virgil Hatch had his barn unroofed and hay and grain blown out of it, and carried to parts unknown, His grand father had just tied his horse to the hitching post when it and the wagon were rolled over and over, and the seat cannot be found al all Three calves near by were seen in the air and but one could be found after the storm had subsided.
 From the south part of the town they re. ported A Smiths barn unroofed, and .every wagon on the premises broken sothat the tenant had to borrow wagon to bring his milk to tht | depot. Between these two points North ant South the wind swoeped down in differen places doing little damage, here and there but nowhere doing as much harm as in New Preston, particulars of which you will probably have from the local correspondent there. It i said one family who were absent, returned to find the barn a complete wreck. I wonder il they thought as old Deacon Ms son did A hurricane visited them during his fathers absence, and as the boy surveyed the mischie he exclaimed 'there wouldn't be such devlisl work if father was at home." As the good deacon's sons were all models of propriety. that was probably the most profane remark h' l ever made. J. |

The lecture was entirely different from those we have had be- fore and we had an opportunity to hear from medical man of the effects of alcohol on hu- man system but the subject was considered in such manner as to be interesting not only to scientific men, but to all others.
 SHowERs.-We have them every day, but they don't come as they did in Colebrook and Wallingford. After the great eclipse, one man said we should not have any hay weather until after the eclipse of the moon, which I comes this evening. Our great crop of oats has at last been secured.
