ORWELL DIED 200 YEARS AGO.

Memoirs of she Reg1cIde-Professor
 Wheeler on she City of LondOn-Its
 ExtravaganE EKpend1tures-H1slor
 cal Society Meeting.
 A paper by MT. F. Sargent Dixwell was read before the Historical society last even- ing. It related many facts about the life of the regieide John Dixwell, who died in this city on March IS, 1889, two hundred years ago yesterday, and whose remains were in- tered in the plot of ground in the rear of Center church on the Green. A silver snuff box owned by John Dixwell is now in pos- session of the Historical society.
 After the reading of the Dixwell papers, Prof. Arthur M. Wheeler of Yale university made extended and interesting remarks upon the government of London. He said that the first thing noticeable about the great metrop- olis was its enormous size, which is equal to six or seven cities like New York. It's popu- lation is growing at the rate of 100, 900 8 year. The city of London itself is but one mile square and is occupied by commercial places entirely. Its population is small, be- ing made up of lodgekeepsrs and the like. The metropolitan police district, however, covers seven hundred square miles and ex- tends fifteen miles out from Charing Cross. The lord mayor has no authority beyond the one square mile. The way in which money is spent by the London authorities is some thing startling, public entertainments to vis- itors costing $60, ,000 or more each and appro- priations for almost nothing being enormous.

 HOME AFTER sHIPwREcK AND A STAY AT
 SAMOA.
 Captain Edgar Denison of Mystic arrived last week direct from Samoa via San Fran cisco. His ship was lost at sea, and with g crew in an open boat for eight days he final ly reached an island, and from thence was taken to Samoa. When he left Samoa the United States steamer Nipsic was all right and he received much attention from her captain while in that port. Captain Deni- son was a direct descendant of Captain George Denison, who married Lady Ann Burdell, to whom all Denisons are proud to refer as their maternal ancestor.
 THE LATE HON. N. J. BALDWIN.
 The late Hon. N Taylor Baldwin of Terry vile, in addition to his prominent connec- tion with various manufacturing industries of Terryville, Bristol and New Britain, was also earnest, active and helpful as a citizen in all good ways-in the local affairs of school and town and church, and in State and national politics. Being a good parlia mentarian, he was favorite presiding officer for public meetings of all sorts. He repre-. scented Plymouth in the General Assembly of 1866, 1872 and 1881, and represented the Sixteenth district in the senate in 1870. The last named session he made most efficient chairman of the committee on finance. In 1872 he was house chairman of the com- mittee on State Prison, and in 1881 he was house chairman of the committee on banks. While not pretending to possess the gift of oratory, he had an easy and effective way of putting things that always made his words influential. And there was such i'm plicit faith in his honesty that when he, as chairman of 8 committee, said a bill was right or wrong, that settled it so far as the action of the house was concerned. Because of his impsrtiality and good judgment he was often selected by the courts to act as com missioner. He was also . delegate to the Republican National convention in 1880, and was clerk of the State delegation. He has served on the Republican State committee for several years and has been 6 regular at- tendant at Republican State conventions ever since the party was organized.
