A Voice from Elhr idge.

ELBRIDGR, March -, 1879.
 Were it not for your weekly visits to us M, Editor with the news. fear that the hap. py land of Canaan would not be heard from Very often by me, for my friends there art very good people, but 0e7y moor c0Irespon- would get in the way of writing down theii thoughts, (heir best ones mean nI and giv, their friends the benefit of them through the paper occasionally, they would be ot real service many times, or would it b, dangerous, giving so much liberty of px- pressing thought at 6 time when mor. people than ever before dare 10 think foI themselves, and then the best thoughts oi some people are SO barren Of ideas, that tn, editor who would print them would deserve annlhilailon. don't mean everlasting, say d thousand years or so. just to see bow ht would like it., and to learn him something .. Come to txsmine the questios, I see it won, do. People about here are getting SO m dependent they seem reckless. They will have their say about politics, about schools. md the Bible in schools and about every thing. Common people are ready to put ir their oar and contend with eminent men upon the great questions which relate te all endless future state. What presumption. By the way. l see you have Canaan cor respondent who is expressing himself very freely upon political questions, and who. conclude. is about to lead off in the organi ,tion of a new national reform party. He comes out square and manly over hls own signature. and the bold. logical snc theological manner in which he wadss into his susject, shows that be don't bel,ev. (as Mrs. Partlpgton says), Sin ba.hin' in torpid waters" As this is rambling sort oi missive, permit me to say, for the pcopl. about here, that with all their faults and n- dependent ways of thinking and acting, they don't quarrel, scandalizs and bsckhitc each other as much as they used to. It is much pleasanter living with them. They appear more moral, and 1 should really think they were growing better if they didn't boldly advocate sentiments. which if carried out, would completely upset many of our old conservative platforms.
 We have had long cold winter, a great body of snow and good sltighing. We are anxious ta e the bare earth again, and wc are SO groveling in our nature we want 10 get down into the dirt. We have a way oi stirring the dirt ur rather carelessly; possibly we may chance to drop little seed into good soil If any fruit appears you may hear from us again. T. U. VoLNRY.

There is much apprehension beginning to be felt that the yellow fever will again desolate the South next summer and that the cold weather has not been sufficient to kill the fever germs. A steamer left Bos' ton March 18th for cruise to the West ln- dies. When about 300 miles southeast of the Bermudas two cases of yellow fever were developed on board. The steamer came north from the West Indies last Fall with the fever on board and wintered in Boston, where she was frozen out and fu- migated, and as she had not touched at any port from the time she left Boston until ths breaking out of the fever, it is evident that the germs must have remained alive since last Fall,

The sunday Sermons
AT CHRIST OUUROu.


 Text, Isaiah Lii, 1st. "Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" The report of which Isaiah speaks is the prophecy of the coming of Christ the Messiah, but especially of His sufferings. Men would not receive, or believe in suffer- ing aud dying Christ, hence He was ''To the Jews stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness." The early Jewish Rabbis inter- preted the words of this 5Sd chapter of Isaiah as applying to the Messiah, but after He came, aud the prophecy was fulfilled, Gods chosen people tried to explain them some other way. They would not receive the report of Isaiah and the other prophets they could not see the arm of the Lord revealing itself in all these wonderful events. So it is with us. We too often seem to fail to receive in any true sense, the report of prophets, and evanee- lists and teachers concerning Christ. We re- fuse to accept suffering, dying Lord. If we sincerely believe in Christ thus suffering and dying for us, we shonld be more thoroughly in earnest. "

The criminal term of the Superior Court in Hartford has been occupied for a couple of weeks in the trial of Allen, Hamlin and Davls for the murder of ShipnaD, inc watchman in the State prison at Wethers- field. Sept. ?, 1877, in an att, mpt hy Allen and Hamlin to escape. Hsmlin and Davis when arraigned elected to be tried cy the Court under a statute then in force. This statute has been since repealed, but is in force SO far as these cases are concerned and has been held constitutional by the Su preme Court of Errors. Hamlin and Davis were tried together before Chief Justice Park and Judge Carpenter. The judges re- served their finding at the conclusion of the trial for fear of the influence it might have on the Allen case, which was then cou- menced before jury. It was supposed that tue case against Allen was 30 clear thst there coulG be no doubt about the result but to the surprise of everybody the jury failed to agree, some of them being in favor of acquitting him entirely. When It is re- membered that he was actively engaged Wlth Hamlln m trying 10 escape ana Tn striking down the watchman. and that the chain of evidence was complete. this con duct on the part of the jury is most extra ordinary. Trial t'y jury for murder in this siale is fast becoming farce and it would he we'll if all such cases could be 'ri,d by the judges There ought to be law ,ha, when jures delib rately render veidic,s against the law and the evidence they should be prosecuted for perjury.
