The appointments are made through political influence, and, of course, the appointees are subject to change according to the whims of the appointing power and the solicitation of the member of Congress in that particular district

Work at the Peat Beds.

The work of filling in at the peat beds on the New York, New Haven and Hartford road below Berlin, has been suspended for the present, the object being to test the con- ditions of the embankment as it now stands. Last week the road bed was ''puddled" with water thoroughly, weighing down the sand filling as much as possible There has been no perceptible change since then, and it is now believed that solid foundation has been reached. But until this i 8 proved beyond doubt the road will continue running the trains on the special track

The 1nvestigation Into the stonington

A special dispatch from Washington to the New York Herald says the Treasury depart, ment on Thursday sent letter to Supervi- sing Inspector Kirby, at New York, authori- zing him to proceed at once to obtain suitable rooms at New London, where the local board of inspectors may begin the investigation into the collision between the steamers Ston- ington and Narragansett, on Long Island Sound. Before it can begin, however, it will be necessary to release the local inspectors from their onerous duties.
 It is believed at the Treasury department that the cause of the collision between the Sound steamers will be traced to unnecessary caution on the part of the pilot of the Narra- gansett, who, instead of contenting himself with fog whistles one minute apart, repeated them so frequently that the pilot of the Ston- ington understood them to be two whistles, meaning the intention of going to the left, and hence the change of course and the col Iision.

NEW HAVEN Jl11v q


 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthin and the successful results of his treatment For the past thirty-six years I had been troubled with a catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to con- siderable extent, and as it kept constant ly increasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's patients, finding him. self greatly benefited by his treatment, ad- vised me to place myself under his care, and happily I did so. Dr. Lighthin effectually removed the catarrhal complaint and all it's attendant troubles, and restored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Lighthilrs reputation is so well known that any recommendation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like dis charging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this public statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief. My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that a few min- utes conversation with Dr. Lighthil will convince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession

Conductor Beers Saves 9 Life.

A lady whose destination was Waterbury made mistake Thursday night in getting on to the express train for New Haven at Bridge port, instead of the Naugatuck train She was let off near the junction on the lower side of the drawbridge, where she stood on the track waiting for the Naugatuck train. While thus waiting, New York express from above came laundering along the track she was standing upon. She was utterly oblivious of her extreme danger, but Conductor A. s. Beers and the brakemen of the Naugatuck train saw it and tried to wave her of the track, but she in her confusion misunderstood the signals and remained on the track. In less than moment more she would have been killed if Conductor Beers had not sprung off the cars and made her understand her dan ger. Fortunately for her the knowledge of her danger of imminent death did not para lyze her and fix her to the track on the con trary, she showed surprising agility in her effort to escape. She feels very grateful to Conductor Beers, and we cannot help feeling that MT: Beers must have slept sweeter in the thought that he had the pleasure of saving a life-Waterbury American.

City Hall Division.

The Rooms of the Historical Society
 Wanted-Action Deferred.
 A meeting of the joint committee of the city and town to arrange for an equitable di- vision of the rooms in the City Hall held a meeting in the Mayors office last evening.
 The members of the committee present were Mayor Bigelow (presiding), Councilman Stevens, Town Agent Reynolds and MT. An drew, president of the Board of Selectmen. Road Commissioner Chatfeld, who was present, was invited to give his views re- garding proposed changes by the road de- pertinent. The Commissioner said that his department had considered the matter of changing rooms, and were in favor of going into the Historical Society's rooms, where they could have vault and all connected with the department be on one floor. Per sonally he preferred that the road depart ment remain where it now was. Yet he re- alized the great inconvenience of the clerks going up stairs for their papers, and he was willing that a change should be made if the Historical Society's rooms could be had.
 The Mayor suggested that the Road de- partment cases in the Assessors room be con veyed to the vault of the fire department with as little delay as possible.
 MT. Waldron, clerk of the road depart ment, said that while it would be very incon- venient to go upstairs every time reference paper was required, yet he was willing to do the work The public however, would suf- fer from such an arrangement.
 City Surveyor Fowler thought the change as suggested by Commissioner Chatfeld would be great convenience not only to the road department but also to the general pub lie.
 Commissioner Chatfeld stated that he would have the cases in the Assessors room removed at once.
 It was decided by general consent that the rooms of the Historical Society were needed for city purposes, but no action was taken, as some of the members of the committee were absent.
 The Mayor stated that he would call anoth- CT meeting of the committee before the next meeting of the Common Council, when final action would be decided upon as regards the removal of the Historical Society.

 900.
 The Hartford Times says The census of Connecticut, not entirely completed, is nevertheless so nearly finished that it is pos sible to predict the result in a round and general way. The population in 1870 was 537, ,454. We doubt if the increase during the decade has been sufficient to bring the total up to 600, 1000, though it must come pretty close to it. The growth of the State in population has not been rapid like that of some of the newer and Western States, ow- ing to the limited extent of it's Territory and the constant emigration of citizens to other States. The "great West' has largely bene- fted by this emigration from New England and especially from Connecticut You find the sons of our good old State in all parts of the country west of Lake Erie. Ohio Illinois, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin have bene- fited by our loss. Since 1880 to 1S4O the tendency of 'the boys' of every Connecticut family to leave the old homestead for fresh woods and pastures new" has been more and more marked, with the lapse of each decade. The entire number who in the last half cen tury have migrated to other States probably equals, if it does not exceed, the present pop ulation of the State. The gain, by this cen sus of 1880, is chiefly among the shore towns and in the manufacturing localities; the agri- cultural regions, on the whole, rather tend to remain about stationary-some gaining a little and some losing. The cities gain most.
