trust that ere long you will see fit to cause all the walks on the old Green to be concreted or put in suitable condition for public travel in the winter season. At my suggestion resolution was recently passed in favor of having all the walks in the original nine squares hereafter paved with flag stone, and I hope that your hon orable body will take such measures as to cause an ordinance to be passed embodying this suggestion. I make this recommends tion, not only because I believe that it will be cheaper for the property holders even tually, but also because I know that it will save the city considerable money in the de- creased number of claims for injury to per son that will be occasioned thereby. I would further recommend that you cause Temple street to be paved from Chapel to Elm street

STATUES OF EMINENT CITIZENS.

While on this topic I take the liberty of saying that no community could possibly ex- ceed our own in it's forgetfulness of public benefactors. Possessing as do in the heart of the city 8 charming relic of the old New England village in our old Green, with it's liberty pole and surrounding places of
 worship, we ought not to forget that it's most praiseworthy feature is it's central arch of elms, and that the memory of him who plant ed with his own hands not only these partic- ular trees, but also those other numerous rows, whereby our city is known far and near as the ''City of Elms,' ought not to be al lowed to fade. Simple justice demands that to James Hillhouse there should be erected on this Green monument that will convey to future ages a record of our regard for one who not only sought to beautify our city, but also initiated the school fund of Connecticut, a source of enlightenment and happiness to thousands.

This building ought to be demolished or thoroughly repaired and devoted to public uses. With all our pride in 8 highly devel oped school system and university advan- tages we are far behind many of our sister cities in affording useful reading facilities to our citizens, and I know of no better use to which the building can be devoted than to utilize it for 9 free public library. The ad- vantages of such an institution are too mani fest to need discussion, and I trust some &C., ton may be initiated by you that will con- duce to the establishment of such an institu- tion in our midst

EAST ROCK PARK.

Although this project has been sanctioned by law for nearly two years, the obstacles in the way of speedy and appreciable develop ment have been such as to retard seriously any noticeable progress Nevertheless pro- gress has been made, and of such @ nature that it's substantial benefits will appear to all in the course of time. The first year was consumed in the settlement of the exact lay out of the park, and the second year has not suticed to complete the assessment of dam ages and benefits to the parties interested. Considerable money and large tracts of land were contributed by pub- lie spirited citizens, and at the close of the year, after purchasing several acres of land and constructing roadway to the top of Indian Head. there was still left to the credit of the commission $17, 756. 34. I am fully satisfied that time will justify the wisdom of those who brought this measure to so successful an issue, because no greater evidence of civilization and prosperity can be found than that afforded by communities in shaded and ornamental spots of nature, re- served alike for rich and poor, where all can roam on terms of perfect equality.

THE EXILE,S INTENT,

II could mount on the eagles strong plnlons,
I'd seek the green island my once happy homo;
Though tyTants now hold the brave race In subjec-

who ofright should be free as bows that foam
I envy the fowl in her iiight through the ether.
Whose compass the stars. aud whose rudder feather
How glad should be could we visit together
The Gem OF the Ocean, Dear Erin Machree
on scenes ofmy boyhood muse with reflection,
But reason Oft whispers, "your thoughts are in
vain"
Each glance OF the mind stlll revives my Intention,
And urges me home 10 my country again.
In sadness think Ofa dOwntrOdden nation
| feel for the thraldom OF friend and relation;
With hope, the sheet anchor that cngs to salvation
I'll visit Hiberna, Dear Erin MachrOe.
Dear land Of my birth, where my spirit reposes
My fond heart is throbbing to vengeance, swear f;
sigh for her freedom In pepsivo emotions,
10 share in her battles long to be there!
Whole legions OF freemeu will recross the ocean,
Intensely undauned, with ardent devotion
The wntch'tOwer signal shall put them In motion,
To Danish rude tyTants from Erin AIachree.
Long did the gibbet, spear, axe, and conviction
Ailict thee, dear Erin Since BorOhue lelt his thrones
And later thou canS't not endure vile coercion,
Beneath which Thy people now suffer and moan
An army OF bOndsmen viii show metal power
Their bullets ns hail, with death-dealng showers
Let the eSilcs prepare for that longneeded hour,

"My wood choppers captured sloth this

The old sioth lay on his back, near the stump
where the wood-choppers had LETT him. but In his

ofa young bear but with a big tail that turned

Last Friday two commercial travellers, named

Va. While waiting for the boat Mr.. Payne drove
the buggy into the water to wash 1t off, when the
horse became unmanageable and plunged into
deep water Mr. Payne endeayored TO cut the
animal loose, but was thrown into the water and,
having on heavy oyercoat and boots, was in a
very critical situation. Lille Bryant, daughter OF
the ferryman, aged ID years, was on the other side
playing I'M canoe. With eatpresenceo ofmind she
padded Rt once to the rescue Mr.. HaTiston, with
less made her come TO the bank for him before
going to the rescue Of Payne, he supposing that
the little girl was not able TO rescue Payne; but
Mr.. Ilariston, SELLING paddle, put the boat to
"turning round and round" and 30 Payne sank.
Brave Lille at once took command, ordered IIarl-
ston TO let her paddle her own canoe, showed IL 10
the spot whore Payne was sinking for the third
time aud called TO him as no went down. " Hold

An Event IN ole HuiI's Career.

The Academy OF Music was reopened on the 10th
Of February 1855 under the management of the
very distinguished violinist, ole Bull, who leased
that vast and splendid void for short season.
Among his artists were Cloiide Patti, Vestvall
Brignoli, and Badiali and he offered q prize OF
1000. for the best original grand opera by an
American composer ON an American subject, the
copyright to be retained by the author-a vain
proposal and an unwise limitation. Music is not
cultivated thus, neither by prize giving by ef-
forts to elevate art aud encourage native artists
and still less by insisting upon native subjects
The whole history Of literature and ofthe fine arts
is a rebuke TO such folly. 1t was In keeping with
manager with greater speed than any of his pre-.
decessors. He did not last two months, and his
short managerial career is worthy OF this brief
warning notice only because of his distinction as
violin Yirtuoso, and because In that capacity he
had shown no less skill in manipulating public
curiosity than IN handling his instrument-Rict-

may be new discovery to the committee, and Is
In accordance with many of the discoveries OF So

which have become common knowledge to farm

A JEW ACQUITTED OF BLAspHEMY.
The Charge which n Catholic Felt Called
UpOm 10 nrIng Againnt Him.

Wolf Hirsch Rosenstrauch a Jew of Newark
wns tried in the Paterson court Of fquarter sessions
OH Tuesday for blaspheming the name of Jesus
Christ. Gottfricd Dcutschle testified that on the
second Tuesday in February the defendant BIAS
phemed the name of Christ in his (Deutschles)
store in Main street, Newark. The witness de.
scribcd the blasphemy as q reflection ON Christ's
paternity. He said there was voice within him
that told him, as good Catholic he ought not to
allow the name of Jesus Christ to be abused, and
he would not stand by,
AS THE JEWS DID OF OLD,
= and hear Christ and his mother blasphcmed. He
thought 1t his duty to bring tins irreYerent Jew to
punishment lie felt sure that as of old, the Jews
would perecute him for this, but even the fear of
that was overcome by the voice within him call
ing upon him 10 do his duty. Rosenstrauch had
of ofpeople going to church. and added, "Oh, that Is
all stupid work., following up that expression
with the blasphemy complained of On cToss.ex
animation Deutschle admitted that he was once
convicted of murder In the old country but added
that he was Innocent, and had been made TO suffer
for another mans crime. He had been In prison
for some time before he
CAME TO THIS COUNTRY.
Mrs. Deutschle corroborated the testimony OF
her husband but on her cross examination she
admitted that Rosepstrauch refused to give them
credit for gentlcmcn's furnishing goods She was
shocked AZ the Language used by Rosenstrauch,
but still she asked him for credit afterward never
imagining that her husband was going to make
the charge he did. Several witnesses testified
that Mrs. Deutschle had told them that she did
also testified that the complainant had made
numerous inquiries us to the wealth of the de.
fendant Tue defendant himself testified that he
had such
GREAT REGARD FOR CHRIST
as moral teacher that 1t would be impossible for
him TO use the language imputed to him. He
thought the accusation was made against him be-
cause he refused Deutsehle any further credit for
