Connecticut Postoffces.

Tha AdfusrmnnG Under Ghe New Law.
 The regular adjustment of salaries of all postofices of the presidential grade has been completed by the department at Washington and the new allowance for postmasters went into effect July l. This adjustment is the first made under the new law, with the ex- ception of that specially authorized last De- tober, and is particularly satisfactory to the postal men, The reduction in the rates of letter postage has prevented any large in- crease of salary and at the same time the growth of the postal business has prevented many very serious reductions. In 8 word, the offices have held their own pretty well notwithstanding the two cent letter postage. The new law provides that the salaries of postmasters shall be adjusted annually, to take effect at the beginning of each fiscal year. Formerly the adjustment was made every two years.
 The adjustment of salaries only affects such offices as are of the presidential class, or such postmasters as receive 8 salary of at least one thousand dollars a year. These, again, are divided into three classes. The first class comprises those offices where the salary is three thousand dollars or more the second ranges from two thousand to three thousand dollars; and the third from one thousand to two thousand dollars. There is still another class, the fourth. but in these offices the postmaster is commissioned by the postmaster general. The following statement relative to the postofices in Connecticut has been prepared by the Hartford Courant Since the last adjustment two offices have been raised to the presidential rank Bethel, only recently promoted, began with twelve hundred 8 year, but the new adjustment reduces this one hun ored dollars. Sufield started with an even thousand, but is now relegated to the fourth class. There are only hree offices in the State that have secured an increased allow ance. They are Hartford, five hundred dol. lars, Green wich, one hundred dollars, and Stafford Springs, one hundred dollars. But thers are a number of offices where the en- nual pay has been cut down one hundred dollars. The following is the list: Ansonis, Birmingham, Bridgewater, Collinsville, Der. by, Essex, Guilford, Meriden, Milford, Nau- gatuck, New Britain, New Canaan, Norwalk, PlainviIle, Rockville, Seymour, Southington, Stamford, Thompsonville, Unionvilie, Water bury, Willimantic, and Windsor Locks.
 The following shows the presidential off ces in the State and the salaries as adju sted for the fiscal year beginning July l, 1884:

MT. Richard A. Wheeler of Stonington writes to the Hartford Courant as follows:
 I have read an article in your paper of this week, headed "PIundering the Tomb of Sas- sacus," ," adding that 'the remnant of the Ps- quot tribe of Indians occupies reservation of about ,0O0 acres at Indiantcwn, between Ledyard and onington. On this land are the sepulchres of this tribe" There are two reservations occupied by remnants of the Pequots; not between Ledyard and Stoning- ton, but one in North Stonington and the others in Ledyard. Tie Ledyard Pequots are the descendants of the warriors assigned to Uncas in the Hartford treaty of 1887. The North Stonin6ton Indians descend from the warriors assigned by said treaty to Miantonomoh and Ningiret. This remnant located themselves after the Pequot war on both sides of Massatuxet creek in Westerly, R. l., where ttey remained until 1861, when they were driven over Paw catuck river into the town of Stonington by the first planters of Misquamicut. When in Stonington they were located in several places, part at Canset Neck (now known as Palmer's Neck), another portion on Cosatuc Hill and the rest of them under Catapeset at Tauewonk. Tho English did not per init them to hold and occupy these places undisturbed. Finally in 1883 g committee were appointed by the general court to provide for them a permanent place 
 the committee purchased of Mir. Wheeler North Stonington reservation The deed bears date May 24, 1883. The remnant as l signed to Uncss would not submit to his au- thority, and after few years most of them coDgregated at Noank in the town of Groton, | Cassasinemon, their nominal chief, petitioned the general court for more land. which was | granted them in 1865 at MashaptuXet, | which is now the Ledyard reser- 1 vation. Doubtless these reservations 1 are in some shape their sepulchers,
 but that Sassacus was ever buried there has
 no foundation in fact. When Captain Mason stormed and took the Pequot fort in 1887, Sassacus was not there. He was at Vein shanka, ranother fortress some two miles l away. He made his escape, and fled to the Mohawks for protection. Having been pre- | viously at variance with them they took ad- vantag eof his situation and beheaded him, and sent his scalp ss a trophy to Connecti- | cut Whether he was buried or cremated IS not known, probably the latter.
