Al Wolcottnille hrnta namad nnnnallu

A Wolcottville brute named Donnelly et- tempted to outrage the person of Maggie Maddan, 13 years old, whom he saw berrying in lot near Litchield the other day. He was frightened of by friends of the girl, aroused by her cries The fellow was arrest. ed and is held in $500 to appear before the Superior Court at the October term.
 Henry Waters now railroad contractor in Kansas, was in Norfolk, his native place last week, for the first time in about 30 years He saw no faces that looked familiar, and but very flow of his old acauaintances are now living The only buildings in town that he recognizes are what were known as Squire Battells store, and the old tavern, then kept by Capt. Shepard.
 The latest Southern outrage is, sending 8 reporter from Baltimore to write up "New England by the back door" for southern pa pers, and having it done up in such style as to set northern papers wild with ecstacy Singular that we can't describe the beauty o our own hills and vales until carpet baggel comes along and dashes it off for foreign pa pers, from which we copy it and flourish it at ''oursels as ithers see us."

 Dr, J. W. Robbins has a good ride, and has been thus far very successful in his pro- fession. For young physician he has taken very high position, and in short time will worthily succeed good old Dr. Rising, with whom he studied several years, and on whom his mantle has fallen.

Among the advantages of thls route are these: No passenger, after buying bIs ticket, will be subjected to any extra charge ID going or coming. Whereas, III landing at tue pier at Conev Island, as some other excursions advertise to do, every one has to pay ten conts extra for Landing and ten cents more on thelr return to the boat, making twenty cents extra that every passenger who goes that way will have to pay Tn addition to his ticket. We also, by this route, get to Coney Island much quicker, which IS great advantage, as 1t rlves us over three hours at tho Beach. where enough can be seen to satis- fy a lifetime.
 On tho boat we will have two brass bands, a string band for dancing, singing by the Glee Clubs, and everythln9 that will contrib bute to make thIs the largest md best excursion that ever went out of Bridgeport.

Notes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Commissioner Raum
officially informs the secretary of the treasury
that during the past fiscal year $l23, $751; 916 in
ternh revenue taxes have been coll ected and
the entire sum paid into the treasury. During
the past four fiscal years the total amount Of
taxes received by collectors of internal reven-
ne was 467 ,0S0, ,S65. and the entire sum has
been paid into the treasury. Salaries and ex-
penses of the bureau will be about $l9, ,929 Goo.
or a little more than three and one half per
cent upon the amount collected.
The commissioner pays a high compliment
| to collectors, and adds: During the past four
years well sustained effort has been made to
suppress the illicit manufacture of whisky and
| tobacco in a number of districts in the South
ern States, where for many years these prac-
tices had been rife. During that period 1874
illicit distilleries had been seizsd, 7,70S per-
sons arrested for illicit distilling, and twenty
| five officers and employees killed
and thirty-fve wounded while
| enforcing the laws. 1t is gratifying to be able
| to state that frauds upon the revenue have
| been greatly reduced, and violent resistance to
| law has practically ceased in all of these dis
tricts, except the second of Georgia. But it
| must be borne in mind that violations of the
law and the spirit of resistance have not been
voluntarily abandoned, but have been sup
| pressed and subdued by the earnest and deter
| mined efforts of officers of the government,
sustained by the courts.

Or account of the high price of iron and
steel rails last winter the Wisconsin legislature
authorized the North Wisconsin railroad COM
pony, row pemberSof the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha line, instead of wholly
constructing twenty miles of its road this year,
as required by it's State grant, to grade forty
miles of the roadway. to be ironed next year.
The company has proceeded accordingly this
season to grade its roadway forty miles, and
now that rails can be purchased cheaply,
will also lay the track, SO as to put the new
roadway in operation before winter sets
in. This extension will bring the end of the
track to within about forty miles of Bayfield,
on Lake Superior, to which point, the charter
terminus. it.is now intended to complete the
road next year. The forty miles extension
will open up extensive pine forests which will
furnish a large lumber export, and also will
open to settlement great deal of choice farm
ing lands, finely timbered and watered. The
completion of the road to Bayfield, will doubt
less result in large addition to Lake Supe-
rior freight business, under the auspices of
the heavy shippers who are among the princi-
pal stockholders in the c., St. p, M. & O..
line companies. The construction
of the North Wisconsin is under the immediate
supervision of Mr.. j. A. Humbird.

BURROWS BLUNDERs.


LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Times says there is no
use in Disgusting the fact that the disaster to
Gen. Burrows force was very lamentable
affair. Firstly, Gen. Burrows was guilty of
error of Judgment, considering the weakness
of his force, in abandoning his defensive po-
sition. Secondly. he appears to have accepted
battle in parallel order, and not to have at
tempted any manouveriDg. Thirdly. 1t is evil
dent the Bombay Sepoys were of such Inferior
physique they could not stand up to the stall
wart Ghazis, who bore down on them sword
in hand, and giving way TO sudden panic, they
mobbed the veteran Sixty-sixth regiment, and
caused the almost total humiliation of that
fine corps. The cavalry do not seem to have
co-operated with much effect. The sufferings
of the troops in their uninterrupted flight of
forty miles must have been terrible, for the
present season is the hottest time of the year
there, and they bad been fighting and m arch
ing without food or water twenty-four hours.
The troop ship, Arontes, left Portsmouth
for India with one thousand men.
GEN. ROBERTS FORCE.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-Gen. Roberts force for
Candahar starts Sunday. 1t includes three
British infantry regiments and one cavalry.
The new brigade formed in Bengal, and which
consists of one regiment of British infantry
and two regiments of natives, have been sent
from Bombay to southern Afghanistan.
UNAcooUNTED FOR.
Of ffty-three officers of Gen. Burrows
force, twenty-one are killed or missing eight
wounded and escaped and twelve arrived at
Candahar unhurt. This leaves twelve unac
counted for. and it may therefore be presumed
that though nominally attached to Gen. Bur-
rows brigade, they did not accompany him.

New YORK, Aug. "A Lima letter says of
the taking of Tacua by the Chilian troops. On
Iy one street escaped the sack, and this good
fortune it owed to the circumstance that Gen
eral Baquedaro had his headquarters in it..
Hundreds of wounded and prisoners were
slaughtered IN cold blood. Not one wounded
ally was found alive on the field of battle the
day succeeding the battle. Women and girls
of tenderest age were violated and many killed.
The farms in the vicinity and their inhabi-
tants shared the common fate with the town.
Every day eight or ten murders are committed,
and the bodies of victims are allowed to remain
unburied until their removal becomes mat
ter of necessity.

TALLY destroyed. Out of eighteen hundred de-
tenders only six hundred survive. Those of
the twelve hundred who did not fall in the
fight we're subsequently massacred in cold

and taken refuge in the United States COM
mercial agency, over which the flag was flying,
were taken out and butchered in the street.

THE ELECTIONS.

PARIS, Aug. 4.-Le Temps, speaking of the
elections, says: If the Bonapartists were ig.
ANONYMOUSLY defeated, the clericals were even
worse treated. The distinguishing character
of the elections was the anti-clerical attempt
to move constituencies by representing the re-
ligious DEGREES as n attack on liberty, signslly
failed.
One hundred and two amnestied communists
arrived from Brest yesterday. One hundred
policemen were at the railway station, but
scarcely $50 persons had assembled to greet the
communists. Henri Rochefort was present.
Twenty-four other communists arrived later
in the day.
The defeat of reactionaries in the elections
for councils general is crushing. Irreconcil
lables were alse defeated at Lyons, Toulouse
Lille, Bescanson and other large towns, which
they contested. They won seat at Bourges.
Gen. Chancey and several other moderates are
supplanted by advanced republicans.
