Au Ex-ConvIct at Home.

The many who interested themselves in procuring the release of Charles J. Allen from the State prison last winter will be pleased to hear that their confidence in him has not been abused by any act of his. On the contrary his behavior has been such as to elicit praise from those most strongly op- posed to him. The New Milford people all speak well of him, and say that they would like to have him make his home in that town. But Allen, who is a natter by trade, has got a chance to work at the business in Danbury, where he will stay for the present. He says were his inclinations toward bad life, which they are not, he still would be honest and true out of>gratitude to the kind friends who stood by him in his hour of need.
