A Flat Contradictton.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In morning paper on Tuesday was pub ished an interview between 8 reporter and Dr. F. J. Whittemore in which the doctor, if correctly reported, says: "From Milan I passed through Switzerland. The roads were objects of my admiration, but nothing so surprised me as did the women. They are obliged to perform all kinds of manual labor and saw them in more than one instance yoked up with cattle to the blow and in other cases have seen them drawing heavy loads alone or carrying great burdens upon thelr heads. They are treated as worse than slaves. They are leveled with brutes." I cannot think that an intelligent gentleman asI believe Dr. Whittemore to be, would make such statement; but if he did, in the name of one hundred and fifty Swiss who are resi- dents of New Haven, I say that in their opin- ion when the doctor says that he saw in more than one instance women ''yoked up to the cannot substantiatesby proot I am native of Switzerland, have travelled all over the country and I never heard or saw such a case, and do not believe that anyone else ever saw the like. Women may at times "hold" the blow when their husbands are sick, or perhaps dead, or they may go into the fields with the rake or the hoe, but they do it cheerfully and do not suffer from SO doing. There is no more robust or healthy people in the world than in Switzerland there is no country where there are better laws govern ing capital and labor, and when an intelligent American citizen makes the statement credit ed to Dr. Whittemore he does not know what he is talking about.

The Skating Rink.

Tine Grand Carnival Last Night-AbOut
 1,5OO People Present.
 The first fancy dress skating carnival of the season of 1S83-84 took place at the rink last evening. At an early hour Dwight street in front of the rink was filled by throng of young ladies and gentlemen anxiously await ing for seven o'clock when the doors would be opened. The rink was very beautifully illuminated by one hundred Chinese lanterns and two calcium lights besides being pretti- ly decorated with the flags and streamers of all nations.
 The calcium lights, which were brought here by MT. Charles Lasby, of the New York Calcium Light company, added greatly to the beauty of the scene. The costumes were varied and for the most part very pretty, the most noticeable being one worn by the little Misses Perkins and Sellew, the young ladies who gave the exhibition of fancy skating on Thanksgiving evening. By far the best costume worn by 8 gentleman was that worn by Mr. Arthur Martin, who repre- sented ParneIl, the Irish agitator. Some of the others who were prettily costumed were Mrs W. P. Futile, Mrs. T. R. Ackrill, Misses Fannie Perkins, Jennie Rogers, Clara Sher- man, Maggie Williams. Mamie Christie, Sadie Kinney, Chrissie Stahiker, Jen- nie Thomas, Louisa HillsdOrf, Carrie Wright, Georgie Isbell, Lottie Judd, Lucy Hotchkiss, Lulu Ensign, Lena Scotield, Cora Rugerburgh, Georgia Bradley, Messrs. Harry Clark, Ed. Osborn, Stiles Stevens, Frank Hunt, Will Munson, Fred Munson, Irving Watkinson, Harry Martin, Arthur De Bussey, Elmer Nichols, MT. Frank Beckley, Ike Mallory, Frank Roach, J. Roach. The full American band of eighteen pieces furnished the music, playing sixteen num- bers instead of the usual ten. The attend ance was unusually large, there being be- tween fourteen and fifteen huadred people in the building, about three hundred being on the floor. The next event of this kind will be calico party about the middle of next month, and there can beino doubt but that after the lastEevening's success this will be eagerly looked forward to.

County Commissioners.

Virgil M. Dow, the Chapel street druggist, on behalf of druggists wishing to be licensed to sell liquor, had talk on the subject with the county commissioners yesterday afternoon. The commissioners are of the opinion that druggists should be required to make full ap- plication, the same as saloon keepers, while the druggists, who are licensed by the State Board of Pharmacy, think that the commis- sioners can license them without the prelimi- nary application through the Town Clerks office. It was arranged to leave the matter to judge of the Superior court, by whose decision the county commissioners agree to abide.
 The commissioners also heard E. J. Futile, W. c. Daley, R. H. Guilford, T. B. Ives and A. c. Peck, all of Cheshire, testify that the saloon of Henry Peters, in that town, should not be licensed because it has been 8 noisy place and bears bad reputation. Next We'd nesday at 10 testimony in favor of Peters will be heard

Later the case was taken up and argued, MT. Blydenburgh appearing with MT. Moulton in behalf of the accused. MT. Blydenburgh claimed that the statute under which the prosecu- ton was brought, and by which the girl Is held, was intended for males who enticed away from home mi nor females for either seduction or fornica- tion.

New Methodist Church in Thompsonv1lIe

New Methodist Church in ThOmpsOnvIlIe
 The Thompsonville Methodists have about completed plans for 8 new brick church and it is expected that the contract will be let this week and the building finished by April 1st. The present building has long been in adequate for the society, vestry being much needed. After much labor by the pastor, Rev. John Oldham, it was voted September 28th to have 8 new house of worship. The Hartford Carpet company gave lot of land, 40 by 86 feet, on High street as site and J. s. D'Arsay & Co.,, of New York, have drawn plans for church which will cost, including the furnishings, about 5000. Nearly all the money has been raised, the first $1,oOO coming from the Rev. John Howson, the first pastor of the old church erected in 1841
 The new building will be in the form of a Greek cross, 65 by 89 feet, with 8 lecture room on the east side 25 by 40 feet and an
 infant room adjoining 25 by 13 feet. The
 lecture room and infant room will both be arranged. so that they can be thrown into one apartment or made part of the body of the church. On the southwest corner will be 8 tower 90 feet high and 15 feet square and on the northeast corner @ kitchen, 13 by II
 feet. Beside the front entrance, there will be
 one in the rear opening into the vestibule to the
 orchestra, organ and pulpit. The windows
 will be of stained glass, the roof slated and
 the outside trimmings of white brick and l brown sandstone. The pews and inside ! trimmings will probably be white ash with a | wainscotting three feet high, and the ceiling will be frescoed. Heat will be supplied by a furnace in the cellar. The seating capacity will be 400, which can be increased to 600 by | opening folding doors in the lecture room. | The foundation is already laid, and it is pro- posed to have the house ready for Bishop Foster to dedicate April 1.
