New york Herald: There are men,
by no means few, in the Republican
party who, twenty years ago, were hor-
ror stricken when men like Horace
Greedy and Wendell Phillips spoke in
any way about letting the Southern
states go, but who now say that they
wish that nothing had ever been done to
bring them back.

AdIournad Town DTeetIne,

The adjourned town meeting takes place this afternoon at Loomis' Hall at ? o'clock. The business before the meeting is the laying of proper town tax and to ''authorize the Selectmen to borrow money and give the note or notes of the town for such sum or sums as may be necessary to pay the present floating indebtedness and the current ex- penses of the town for the year 1881, and to transact any other business proper to come before said meeting"
 The reason for the proposition is that the town has now outstanding $616, ,OOO in bonds which it is thought best to prepare to meet at maturity, as the city has done by the ac- emulation of sinking fund There are two issues of the towns war bonds, the first for $75, 1000 and the last for $41 ,O0O. Of the first issue the first payment will have to be made in 1884, and bonds of this series fall due yearly in sums of various amounts up to the year 1892. Of the second issue the first installment of $15, ,000 will fall due in 1895 and the same amount will have to be paid in 1896, and the balance of $11, ,000 in 1897. Such a sinking fund as is proposed will, it is thought enable the town to meet these bonds at their maturity, and by the accumu- lation of such fund the payment of the bonds will not be burden, nor be felt by the taxpayers. In addition to the bonds al luded to the town has also it's Air Line bonds of $500, 1000, for the payment of which no provision has been made. These fall due in 1892 and at that time they will have to be taken up by a new issue, probably at lover rate of interest

Prominent New Building for East Grand
 Street-PersOnAL.
 Mr. H. Lee Bradley, residing on East Grand street, corner of Atwater, has the plans for the erection of a new building on the vacant corner lot on East Grand street, opposite Futile S Co.'s drug store, and but for the early setting in of winter would probably have had the foundations laid be- fore this As it is, the work is deferred until spring, when the building will be erected. It will be large frame structure, three stories in height and contain three stores, and will occupy the entire lot. From it's size and prominent location it will be quite a con spicuous structure, and will be one of the most notable additions on that thoroughfare made in quite a number of years, or since the erection of Todd's block.
 Rev. Mr. Parkington, pastor of the East Pearl street M E. church, remained about the same yesterday, with prospect of his recovering, though he is still very i'll.

The hall was well filled with invited guests, many being present from the center of the city. The programme, which was fine one, was well carried out. All who contributed to the en- | tertainment of the evening acquitted them selves with credit. The singing and recita- tions were unusually fine and greatly enjoyed. | The members of the lodge deserve great | credit for the high class of entertainments furnished by them from time to time, and l the last one excels their other efforts.

The EarIjest Crossino on the Ice.

It turns out that the first person to cross the Connecticut river this year on the ice was not the man reported from Wethersfeld, but Horace Johnson, of Middle Haddam. Mir. Johnson crossed from Middle Haddam over to Maromas on the 24th of November, 1SSO-two days earlier than the Wethersfeld crossing, and earlier, it is believed, than any date at which the Connecticut river was ever before crossed on the ice in this part of the valley-H0rtforG Times.

lIanslaughter In Monroe

Tha jury of inquest on the death of Frank Sears, of Monroe, concluded the investigation and returned verdict on Monday. The members pledged themselves to keep the yer dict secret Its material point was that the deceased came to his death by violence at the hands of Wilson Terrilhpne of the young men who was stripping tobacco with him in his father-in-lawis barn on the day he died so suddenly. It appears that at first they scuf- fled in jest and then in earnest, and the doc tor testified that the deceased was suffering from a disease of the heart which had en- Iarged that organ to three times it's natural size and caused serious irregularity of the valyular action. In his opinion the blow across the breast, which had raised high ridge and produced discoloration, was suf- ficient. in Sears weakened condition, tohaye produced death. prosecution for man. slaughter will follow.
