NORWICH, Conn.,. Nov. 2. 1879.
The Riddle poisoning case up in the City
Court tomorrow morning ut nine O'Clock. Tho
preliminary examination will probably occupy but
two days. although this is uncertain. The evidence
offered by the defence will depend upon tho charac
ter of that given by the State. which will put its
principal witnesses upon the stand and undoubtedly
endeavor to elicit strong chain OF circumstantial
evidence.
THE STATES TESTIMONY.
Professor johnson and his assistant will arrive
from New Haven on early train. bringing with
them the results OF the analysis Of the stomach OF
the deceased Mrs. Riddle. State Attorney Waller
will probably listen the Professors testimony
the Hayden case will not claim his attention till
later the week. The evidence given by the scten-
thc experts promises to be OF an interesting nature
and several eminent physicians have announced
their intention OF being present An attache OF the
Jail said tonight that Riddle betrayed no interest
IN his forthcoming trial. and rarely spoke OF IL.
THEoRIEs THE DEFEScE.

said last night that he had heard in definite terms
from Professor Johnson, but declined to give his
information to the reporters.

TERMS OF ART AND SCIENCE.

wide SALE Dictionaries multiply. aud technical die
tonaries among the number; but the plan of this
work has for the average reader" many advan-
tagcs a mere alphabetical list of technical
terms The plan is to group the technical terms be-
longing to o special art science under one head
ing. SO that reference to the science may give its
principle terms. reference to of the terms
bring the searcher to the science. We do not
think, in the first place, that the divisions have
been well made. For instance. why Meteorology
should not include all we find under the three widely
separated headings. Air, Meteor, Winds. it would
be hard to say. We think. moreover. that the omis-
sions under the headings many that the value
of the work is impaired We can understand that
there may have been desire to keep the book within
certain limits. not to burden it with too much de-
tail, but we do not clearly that the definitions
were limited by any well-set rule. Under tine
head of accounts" find bookkeeping" a
term which not one in thousand would
need to look for. while "single entry" and
"double entry which are missing might puzzle
people outside of non-commercial circles. Under
"air" we find barometer" but not the technical
terms high pressure or low pressure In "antiqui-
ties" we find "Egyptology;" why not also Assyriol
ogy? In architecture there is definition of Gothic

not go forward to the end, but random ref

ing its defects, it will be handy book for great
many but If it reaches second edition. we should
recommend such complete overhauling and re-

OUR VILLAGE.

We refer with considerable salts
faction to the building statistics of
the Village of Redwood Falls for
the year 1878. It has nearly all
been accomplished since the compile
ton of the railroad about the middle
of August. That event occurred too
late in the season for the erection of
some of the more substantial build
ings that are contemplated. It was
necessary to provide some kind of
habitations for the large number of
people who came during the year,
and as many had not time to build
such houses as they desired they
built small houses and parts Of
houses in order to get shelter for
the winter. Between four and five
hundred were added to the popula-
ton of Redwood Falls during the
year 1878. 1t is pretty certain that
it will be increased by much larg-
er number during the present
year any that the buildings will be
of diferant character than those
heretofore erected. Our brick yard
is success, two kilns Of good brick
having benn burnt, and will be used,
chiefly, in building next summer.
Altogether, Redwood, Falls made
very great natsrial progress dariag

(From our Correspondent

Now that the New Year has
dawned upon us and 1873 with all
its load of cares and sorrows has
been swept away by the hand of time,
to the broad abyss of eternity, we
would ask ourselves what new reso-
lutions have we formed for the pres
ent year? Have we taken a retro
spective view of our past lives, and
compared it with what we would
wish it had been, or what we might
have made it, had we lived other
wise from what did? Can we see
no errors we would gladly correct,
if the opportunity were presented?
or can we not see the golden mo-
ments that have passed unimproved:
All, yes there are many dark blots
which our ruthless hands have made
one page of time. There were
pangs of sorrow which a few kind
words would in a manner have allie
waited, but We only mingled bitter
ness in the cup, where we might
have poured in the oil of Joy. There
were fallen ones we might have
helped restore to their proper posi-
ton but we only helped restore
to their proper positions but
we only helped circulate the
wretchedness. There were idle mo-
ments passed unemployed,
which we might have made a good
use of, in enlightening our minds,
and raising ourselves to a higher
and nobler sphere than we occupy.
Let each and all of us be awake to
sense of our duty, and whatever por
ton of time God has allowed for
our use whether it be few weeks,
months or years let US with unset
fish motives, endeavor to fill up our
Allotted time in a manner that will
benefit Ourselves, ard those around
lis; and VIC hope that all Interested
in the circulation of our County pa
per, the REDWOOD GAZETTE, will
endeavor to make 1t as interesting
as possible this year.

VILLAGE ELECTION.

The only issue involved in the vii
lage election, on Tuesday, was tenn
perance. A ticket was nominated
pledged to "Not grant License"
We do not know that the other tick
ct was pledged to anything, but the
general understanding was that, if
elected, they would put the license
at 5000. Politics were not thought
of and the issues that usually agitate
us were not mentioned. 1t was Ii
cense or no license, pure and simple,
and the result was very gratifying
to the anti-license party. The en-
tire anti-license ticket was elected
by very large majority as will be
seen by the figures below. There
were los votes cast.
