Those who contributed to the Hospital
coll ctions may learn from the statement given
on another page more OF the us fulness and the
necessities OF the institutions to which the pro-
cee,s of that work are to he devoted. Of
the twenty hospitals III this city supported
by voluntary contributions and provided
for 10000 indoor patients annually, fifteen
have asked for share Of the fund collected.
The practical joker is abroad in Maine, it
seems, telcgraphing what appear to he Oifi-
cial orders for the mastering OF troops at
Augusta. WitlicFsms of this kind. con-
temptible enough at any time. are fairly Grim
inal in the present state of the public mind in
Maine, and any person detected in the per-
petration of them should not escape the pun
ishment Of exposure, at least.
The business summary of the past year
which the young and exultant State of Col
orado sends out, illustrates the apidity of
growth in the Far West. A State which has
merely a sufficient population to cntitle 1t to
admission into the Union, and records in the
mast year the birth of new towns IN
every county, an increase In Its silver
Weld from $4,000 900 to $40 100000, the
building of more than 800 miles of tele-
sr.ph lines with some railroad building, real
estate transactions in Denver alone of nearly
@. OOO, 900, with the erection in that city of
more than 400 brick and stone buildings,
costing over $4,000, 0O0-a three-year-old
State which can show all this has some right
to boast itself and it must be admitted that
the right is not neglected.
The simple ceremony with which the Gov
ernors of New-York are lnaugurated was rem
dered yesterday even more sternly republican
than usually Governor C0rnells refusal to accept
any military escort to the Capitol. No one who
witnessed yesterdays brief oath-takinR could
have felt that it lost anything IN dignity by
this omission. The most striking feature of
the Afteen-minute ceremony which formally
opened the torn Of Governor Cornell, was the
eloquent tribute paid by him to his predecessor
IN ofaoe. 1t has not always happened that
such generous words have passed between

ObituarY.

Many friends will deeply sympathize with the afflicted ones called to mourn yesterday in the death of Mrs Mary A. P. Wilcox, beloved wife of Harry Prescott, Esq, who passed away at her beautifully situated home in Whitneyville, near Whitney Lake, at o'clock in the afternoon She had been i'll for about six weeks past, and especially toward the last was great sufferer, from an abscess on the side of the face. With Christian resignation she endured pain and anguish, looking forward to bright inherit ance, the reward of the faithful. She was in her 68th year. She was a daughter of the late Alvin Wilcox, who is well remembered by our elder citizens as a prominent ieweler of New Haven. She was much esteemed member, and one of the original members of St. Thomas church. She was in her youth member of Rev. Dr. Bacon's church, and after her marriage united with her husband at Trinity. On the formation of St. Thomas parish she joined the then new parish, of which her husband is to-day vestryman. Her memory will be warmly cherished. Two brothers survive her, Edmund A. Wilcox, of Washington. D. C., and Wallace c. Wilcox, of North Granville, New York; also two sisters, Mrs. Talman, of Brooklyn, New York, and Mrs. Barker, of Macon, Georgia. She leaves daughter, wife of Dennis Beach (now of Milford, Ct.) ), of Gibbons & Beach, who conduct large school in New York city. MT. Beach purchased the old homestead in Milford, not long since removing thither. The funeral will take place tomorrow (Sat- urday) afternoon at o'clock.

The selectmen.

Visit to the AImshOuse-The New PrOtee-
 ton from Fire Inspected-A Visit to the
 Proposed Blake Street Improvements.
 The Board of Selectmen in company with
 Chief Hendrick visited the almshouse yester- day afternoon to inspect the new facilities
 for extinguishing fires at the almshouse. On their arrival they were met by Superintend- ent Sanford, who with shis usual promptness had everything in readiness to display the
 workings of the new water connections. An
 hose was made to the hydrant in front of the
 almshouse buildings, and with three quarter
 inch nozzle stream of water was thrown
 without difficulty on to the roof of the third
 story of the main building. Before the new
 water pipes were laid it was not possible to
 throw stream above the second story win
 dows. The hose was then taken into the
 yard near the barns and the same satisfactory
 results were experienced, the water being
 thrown considerable distance above the
 roof of the barn, on which the stream was
 directed
 Chief Hendrick expressed himself as highly
 pleased with the exhibition. He gave 1t as
 his opinion that the almshouse buildings
 
 they would be when provided with hose He recommended that two inch hose be provided with three-quarter inch nozzle and a half inch condenser. He thought with this they would be able to reach the highest point of any building on the grounds.
 After viewing the water-works the Board visited the termination of the new sewer which has beensbuilt from the almshouse to the West river. It appears to have been built in very serviceable manner, and with the covering of earth and filling at the ex- treme end will make an exit for the aims house refuse that will be premotiEe of health to the inmates, and as matter Of economy will be a of lasting nature. City Surveyor l Fowler, who was present, expressed himself 1 as well pleased with this improvement. After inspecting the various Improvements l the Board visited Blake street, where the l proposed grading is now in progress on the city side of the line. They met there John 1 J Osborn and Mir Blake of the Blake Broth CTS Hardware Company.
 l Mir Osborn objected to the cutting down ! of the street in front of his property the depth as required by vote of the Road Con- 1 missioners and Selectmen. He said it would bring his house about seven feet above the | proposed grade and would be great damage | to his property. CThis grade was shown by l the map
 l MT Blake objected to the filling in front ot i his factory and proposed cutting deeper on ! the hill above him so as to leave his grade about as it was at present.
 As the city had laid out the grade to the 1 town line, and the work had already com. ! menced, the Selectmen saw no other way but | for the town to conform to it as they had l decided upon. Without coming to a fna conclusion, however, they appointed Select
 man Feldman and City Surveyor Fowler { committee to secure a competent person to examine the records as to the rights of the | city to Blake street as highway, there being | some dispute on this question.

A Notable Golden Wedding.
Celebrated in the Old New England sty

Celebrated in the Old New England Style
 Reunion of the sheldon Family.
 One of the pleasantest and most complete family reunions ever held in Connecticut was that of the family of MT Amos B Sheldon, at Lakeside, Warren, in Ltchfield county in this State, Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16. N The occasion was the 69th birthday of Mrs Sheldon, and as the aged couple have nearly completed half century of married life, it was birthday party, golden wed ding and complete reunion of the largest na- tive family in Connecticut, if not the largest in the whole country. MT and Mrs Sheldon were married and set up housekeeping in Kent, Conn, May 30. 1880. They have raised family of eight children (four sons and four daughters), all of whom are married and settled in life, with their olive branches growing up around them numbering all told sixty-one persons The most extraordinary fact in this connection, and one probably without parallel, is that though scattered far and wide and although three of the sons saw hard service during the late war, there has been no death in the family or any of it's branches, except that of two grandchildren under three years of age. It IS doubtful Ii any man living of MT. Sheldon's age (70 years) can boast of so healthy and prolific progeny.
 Iitchfeld county, were married and settled as above, living in Kent until the spring of 1851, when they removed to Lakeside, where they have resided ever since and dfrom whence their children have gone forth to different parts of the State, settling in Ashford, Wili- mantle, Norwich, New Haven, Cornwall Deep River, Bristol and New Britain; but none of them have, as yet, forsaken the NutIneo State Hartford Post

The Coming Census.

The Emumerators' Oath-A Look at the
 Former Censuses of Connecticut.
 In both cities and towns the enumerators are to begin on the 1st of June; but in cities the canvass must be completed in twelve working days, while in the towns the whole month may be occupied. General Walkers rule has been that no single district should embrace to exceed 4,OOO population; but in mapping out the districts the Connecticut supervisors --Messrs. William E. Disbrow and J. o. Stone-have distributed the dis triets, in order to have the work thoroughly and quickly performed, so that the average of population in each will not probably go over 2,OOO. Both population and location of territory in towns have been considered in making assignments, and in some cases towns with even less maximum population alluded to have been divided.
 The first census was taken in 179O, and a census has since been taken once in every ten years. The population of Connecticut and the United States as given by the nine census enumerations was as follows;

Entertainments.

FAT1NITZA.
 The beautiful opera of Fatinitza will be given, as is already widely known, at Peck's Grand Opera House next Wednesday even ing by those great favorites here and else where, the Boston Ideal Company. At much expense MT. Peck has secured the return of these favorites with the old cast, their last appearance here this season. Full chorus of of reserved seats will open at Loomis to- morrow (Saturday) morning at o'clock.
 ALL THE RAGE.
 On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week W D Eaton's farcical comedy stAlI the Rage" will be given at Goes Opera House with matinee on Wednesday after noon. This company last appeared here on March 18th last, when, among other com mendable things said, was this ssThe fun begins with the first act and increases to the end" We also said: If All the Rage comes here again with the same company secure your seats early, for the house will be full" The same company are coming and we believe our prediction will prove true.
 EvANeELINE.
 On Saturday evening Rices great Evange line combination will appear at Goes Opera House in their speciality, Evangelne and the Lone Fisherman. The Indianapolis Journal of late date speaks of the company as follows: It would be difficult to define the place of Evangeline. It is sort of musical dramatic extravaganza, diversified by start ing situations and spectacular effects. If shis definition will not do, let us say that it is an extremely pretty and amusing perform ance, without name. The Heifer Dance, oy Messrs. Cohen and Turner, is still lead ng feature. The singing is decidedly above he average, and the costumes are bright and and the entertainment as a whole very enjoyable though very light There was ,, large audience last night." Reserved seats should be secured at the box office

WAL11NGFoRD. May 20. 1880

 Dear Sir-The Wallingford fire company have requested the undersigned, as their committee, to convey to you an expression of their unfeigned thanks for your graceful re- membrance of them in your contribution of one hundred dollars, which they have received at the hands of MT Hubbard, in the form of a draft on your treasurer to that amount.
 While your gift may be immediately due to your sense of gratitude for some possible service of our fire company, in preserv- ing the valuable property of your corporation from the destructive fire which recently prevailed in it's vicinity, we are yet conf dent that it found it's inspiration not little in that generous, though infexible general policy which has already, under your distins- guished management, accomplished very much for the popularity of your road. With our best wishes for the continued prosperity of your company and with con- sideration of esteem for you personally, we remain, Very truly yours.
