The exposure to all kinds of weather, made necessary by life of toll in the open air, often causing trifing troubles of the throat and lungs, while not avoidable may be ren- dered harmless by the timely use of Roberts Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cherry. This remedy quiets the distressing cough, promotes sleep at night, and does not debilitate. ! It lubricates the tubes and passages and allays all inflammation caused by cold. Sample bottle ten cents, large size fifty cents.

 A meeting of the Board of Road Commis- sioners was held last evening; present, Com missioners Chatfield (presiding), Anderson, Feldman and Coleman.

 CHAs. E. FOWLER, City Surveyor
 The parties will be notified before March |, 1880, to remedy the matter.
 The clerk informed the Board that the New Haven Water Go. and Gas Go. have been mo- tified to take out the usual permits for open- ing streets. This matter on the part of the Water Company had been referred to Hon. Henry B. Harrison, one of the directors of that company, to consult with the road depart ment and report. MT. Harrison stated that the company would have no objection to pay ing small fee if the ordinances required it. but objected to paying $40 or $50 for opening paved streets. The clerk had consulted with the Corporation Counsel in regard to this matter, and he called attention to the decision of the Supreme Court in regard to it, which showed that the fees were excessive and in the shape of revenue instead of fee, and the Corporation. Counsel recommended to the Board of Road Commissioners that it send 6 communication to the Court of Common Council requesting revision of fees for open ing streets for connecting with gas, sewer an6 water mains. The clerk was instructed tc prepare a communication to that effect anG submit 1t to the Board at their next meeting
 The following petitions were accepted anc placed on file: Petition of Capt. Joseph Col ins and Joseph H. Haynes to be Chapel stree bridge tender; of Sherman Russell for same Petition of Joseph A. Latham to be appointed inspector of sidewalks; petition of same to b. superintendent of parks.
 Bills to the amount of $6, 500 of the tow of New Haven against the city, which hat been presented, were referred to the clerk t, inquire and report to the next Board.

Jenny Lind, the Great prina Donna.

Jenny Lind, as Is we'll known, long
since retired into private life. She
now inhabits a charming residence in
South kensington, situated so near
that of Madame Albani that the great
prima donna of the present, and she
of the past, can look out upon each
others windows. Madame Jenny
Lind Goldschimdt is now an elderly
lady, and is in very fragile health,
but her blue eyes and kindly smile
retain the sweetness that used to lend
such charm to the countenance of
the worlds idol. She has withdrawn
almost entirely from all participation
in the affairs Of the world of music,
being only interested in the Bach So
ciety. She speaks very warmly OF
the United States and of its people,
pronouncing the American ladies to
be among the NEST cultivated and re-
fined that she has ever known. Not
withstanding the long years that have
elapsed since the epochs of her great
triumphs, she still retains her hold
upon the sympathies and affections OF
her former admirers. The royal
family of England, for instance, are
her firm friends, and the princesses
are frequently numbered among her
visitors.

The lsa:i,i, Of ireland.

The public roads of Ireland are
absolutely perfect. Go where YOU
will through the rural districts, and
the roads are thoroughly turnpi!led,
thoroughly drained, and as level rs \
board. The bridges over.thc creeks
and rivers are all stone. Every road
has sidewalk for foot passengers
elevated about six inches above the
main road, and from four to SIX feet
wide. The fences on either side arc
of sOlid-stone masonry, to the
height of from four to six feet, on
the top of which are growing hedges
of hawthCrn and furz., OF grass and
wall flowers. The walls inclosing
the roads are festooned with IVY and
wild flowers, producing charming
effect. Every country-seat is thus
"hedged in from the outside world.
There is no getting over the barrier,
and access can only be had through
the lodged gates, which are in charge
of the lodge-kceper, generally a wo-
man, who admits only Il favored few.
The constabulary are always on hand
to arrest trespassers. Tramps have
poor show in Ireland. They must
keep on the roads, or go to jail.

We very distinctly remember son

We very distinctly remember some
opposition to Judge Buckner at the
nominating convention two years ago,
which was only half subdued for the
reason that the delegates had been
instructed for him before his opposi-
ton to the party platform, and further
that he, through a friend, retracted
his arrogant assumptions by stating
in writing that he stood substantially
upon the State platform. If occasion
demands the Journal will be further
heard from upon this interesting
question.-Louisiana Journal.
The Journal admits that Buckner
is the peoples choice. The people,
and not the delegates, elect our con-
gressmen. Buckner will be nominal.
ed again, because he is the people 8
