The Dead Letter-

During my term of service at the 3611-

ouclom, upon receiving dead letters from
Wuohington City, to make a list of the
nine: of the persons to whom they
were addressed, and stick it up in the
lobby of the office, with a notice '-Call

Ind up to the board containing the afore-

"rode it, sir, and rade it aisy if you

that it was a letter written by himself,
and directed to Michael Flahcrzy, B 2.9-
803, Chicago.
"qA”nd is Michal daid, Mr.

“No, I guess not,” said I.
"Well, who is daid, sir ?”
I explained to him that letters not ta-

addressed within a certain time, were
sent to what is called the Dead Letter

thence, if containing anything valuable,
to the persons who wrote them.

Missouri Morality.
MESSRS. En1'roRs:—-The letter in
Tuesday’s Register, from a Yankee
scliool mistress in Missouri, touching
the moral character of the “border rufii-
ans,” reminds me of the statement made
some year ago in the Center Church by
a Home Missionary.
He had been giving an account of his
success in planting I"lll1l‘Ci'leS in the
West-—Misssouri perhaps-—and of the
large number of members gathered
therein, and added, "but christians out
there don’t have the mine standard of
excellence that you do liere—in fact,”
said be, “they are about like your Eas-
tem sinners."
A gentleman from Kentucky, liimself
a large slave holder, told me that 11 pi-
ous young man—-a sort of preacher-—
who had emigrated from his neighbor-
hood to Missouri a couple of years ago,
returned lately on a visit. 1-lc openly
boasted that he was one of the organ-
ized band that went over into Kansas
“to control the election," and that he
voted three several times. The young
man was shunned by his former rieigli
bors, and distinctly told that they regar-
ded him in the same light as if he had
boasted of having stolen as many hor-
see.

lowing as part of a leading article '?—It
must have known, if it has the least fa
cility for obtaining news, that the state-
ment is untrue, and has been positively
contradicted for several days. Even the
Adininistration orgaii here has reluctant-
ly given a brief statement nearer to the
truth than this one :—-
“Accounts from Kanzas confirm the
telegraphic reports, of disturbances,
bloodshed and hoiise-burniiig, at Hicko-
ry Point in that Territory. The first at-
tack was made by Dow, who belonged
to the Secret Order at Lawrence, called
the Kanzas League, and who bad form-
ed a conspiracy to drive Co.eman from
his land-claim. Dow was foremost of
the assailants, and attempted to shoot
Coleman, but his gun missed fire, Cole-
man being fully! armed, and defended
himself with great resolution, and at the
first shot, Dow fell dead on the spot.——
His companions proceeded to destroy
Coleman’s property, and finished the
tragedy by burning his house, together
with many others in the settlement."
Will the Farmer point out to us any
“confirmation" of the "liouse-burnings”
or of the attack upon Coleman by Dow?
Every one now agrees that Coleman
shot Dow in cold blood, with no provo-
cation, but coolly and deliberately shot
him down in the road, not even being
inenaced himself.-N. H. Courier.

Norwalk, ‘1"nesday,Dec. 18, 1866.
Novel sum.
We learn that an oflicer from Bridgeport.
came over last week and served an attachment
upon the homestead of Lewis 0. Wilson, Esq.-
(worth some $100,000 or more.) in behalf of
the President and Directors of the New York
and New Haven Railroad Company; The 5
cause of this action was on account of alleged
damage sustained by said company by the re-
spondent having forced open a car door, at
l the Norwalk Station, some weeks since. The ,
circumstances were these,——some time since.-I
the 8.15 A. M. traiii arrived, and as is fre-
quently the case, with an empty, but locked
car in the ram‘, while but a few seats _
remained vacant in the forward ones. The l
consequence was, some fifteen or twenty of the 3
Norwalk Passengers were obliged to stand up
—-including several ladies. Mr. Wilson politely
informed these ladjcsvt-bat he would procure
the opening of the rear car for them, and pea-
sed out upon the platform to solicit the Brake-
man to open the door. No Brakernan was to
be found, so Mr. W. pm‘. his foot against. tlie
door and pushed it. in, breaking the catch, and
causing adamagc that (we nlyjive cents would
have repaired. As both parties have the l
pluck as well as the means, we presume iliere
will be a long and free fight over the great
question, and whatever may be the decision of‘
the Courts, the public have decided in ad-
vance that Mr. Wilson did just. right. We are
by no means disposed to encourage a spirit of
lawlessness-—-but where ‘a nuisance of this
character has been repeated almost daily for
years, we are glad to note that we have one
citizen with independence enough to abate it.
The company were so pulpably in the wrong,
and the amount of 1059 so coutemptibly insig-
nificant, that it seems to us, fl proper respect
for the interests of’ those Stockholders whose
money they are about to squander, should
have dictated a different course of action ; for,
so far as we are conversant with those whose
money is in the hands of this company, they
would much prefer to have any surplus there
might be found in the treasury, returned to
them in the shape of a dividend. to having it
expended ‘tothe tune of thousands overs trifle
involving a damage which could not have ex-
ceeded twenty-five center. We cannot believe
that this Company is zirnbitious of the public
contempt and disfavor, yet they are fast gain-
ing both, in this community. Whether there
is just cause for the thousand and one com-
plaints which are daily made by our citizens,
we know not, but this we do know,—there is a
growing feeling of hostility to the road in this
region, growing out of many little petty an‘
noyancee which would aeem to indicate a want
of that spirit of accoinmodation, so vital to the
scccess of any great public carrier. The in-
crease of the rates of’ fare for this Station, may
or may not have been ii. necessity, yet the ar-
gument used is that the company are deter-
mined that. the Norwalk people shall pay for
the Norwalk disaster. Our own opinion has
always been that the Company could not afford
to run their trains with proper safety at the
‘ rates of fare heretofore charged, and we think
most persons would prefer paying one dollar
to N. Y., rather than the old fare of 75 cents,
if the Company will expend the 25 cents excels
in procuring additional safeguards against ac-
cideiits, for it is no pleasing reflection that one
is riding cheap at the expense of the underta-
ker. Yet. this is used as an argument showing
9. disposition towards special extortion, from
the citizens of‘ Norwalk, and ’ even now we
learn that arrangements are being perfected
for 8. rapid Steamer to run from Wilson’s
Neck to New York, for the conveyance of‘
passengers in opposition to this road. Instead
of fostering our branch and intersecting Road,
as would seem for their interest, we are told
the opposite is true, and that passengers from
Ridgefield and Daribury can now reach New
York about as cheap by the Harlaein as the
New Haven Road ! But be all this an it may,
in the matter of trains and car converiienciea
the citizens of Norwalk may with propriety
enter their protest against the accommoda-
tions afforded by this Conipauy. It is admit-
ted thal: this is the most important station on
the line of the road with the exception of
Bridgeport. Yet while all the new and most
comfortable cars, and every effort towards
convenience of time, &c., is afforded through
passengers, for whom they receive a. reduced
fare, way travellers who pay for the cheap
transportation of‘ the citizens of Boston, are
conveyed on slow trains and in the old and
dilapitated cure. Then, too, our enterprising
neighbors on the west. boasts that all trains
stop at Staniford, while only a part stop at
Norwiilk. Long before the Noriviilk disaster,
urgent ell‘oi~l.s were made to induce the Coiii-
pany to allow the first morning express to
stop here. Had they extended this accommo-
dation it would have saved the Company over
three and a half millions of dollars.’ We
should not repeat this complaint were it not
frequently urged to our prejudice. We care
not so much about the halting of the express
trains, or carrying Boston passengers at B de-
duction from regular rates of fare. while re-
fusing similar facilities to those of the Dan-
bnry road. We shall only urge as our part of
the public complaining this locked car opera-
tion wliich has been repeated until it has be-
come an intolerable nuisance. Itis seldom that
the Noi-walk pcssciigcrs are all able to procure
seats before reaching Stamford (where the car
which has trniidled along empty behind, is us-
ually unlocked) and as for a man being able
to procure a seat with his wife, he is only too
tliaiikfiil to secure one in the same car, to ut-
ter one word of‘ complaint, on these morning
ll-I‘fllDS. If the Directors have not the gentility
or good sense to remedy this unnecessary an-
noyance, we hope to see more Mr. Wilsons
among the Norwnlk passengers. .:

The Special Meeting again called and con-
vened to settle the question Whether the Liq-
uor Agency nliould be continued or abandon-
5
. ed, came off, as per call, on Monday afternoon -
at 2 o’clock, and was decided by A vote of 26:.’
for, to 224 against the agency. Dr. Lynes
was called to the chair, and by an intelligent i
and impartial administration of his duties as l
Moderator, was enabled to maintain the most
perfect order, and to conduct the proceedings 5
to the satisfaction of both the friends and foes
of the Agency. The numerous handbilln and
banners flauuting in the breeze, and a four 3
horse team patriotically vcaparisoned, with
drum and fife behind. indicated a spirited
contest, but decorum and good feeling were i
the order of the day, and we believe all were i
satisfied that the queution was fairly met and .
fairly decided, and so it will doubtless rest. :
Prof. Gardner.
Previous to the opening of the town meet-
ing, the ubiquitous New England Soup Man
announced that he would at the close of‘ the
meeting address the dear people upon the all
important subject of the use of Soap, which
was received with more of merriment. After
the adjournment. sure enough, he commenced
tearing passion to hitters “clambcrii:g among
the stars,” and scattering lil.era.ry noaogays
with an incxhaiistible profusion. The reniilt,
we learn, was a sale of Sic-tyflollare "worth
of‘ his very excellent Soup. From the quan-
tity sold, we presume every unpleasant recol-
lection of “Town Meeting day” will he wont
effectually “washed away.”
Temperance Meeting. .
One of the largest and most enthusiastic
Temperance Meetings which we have ever
seen convened in Norwalk, wits liolden at tho
Town Hall, on Saturday evening last, not-
withstanding the inclemency of’ the weather.
Eloquent and forcible speeches were made
by Hon. 0. S. Ferry, Rev. Mr. Bottom, and
Rev. Mr. Weed, which undoubtedly told on
Moudny’s election. Mr. Weed showed molt
conclusively that the object sought by cons-
piring against the Town Agency, on the part
of the rum party was purely to embarrass the
operations of the bcneficent Maine Law, and
make it, if‘ possible, so far unpopular, as to
secure its repeal of the next election. ' Rev.
Hr. Bottom indulged in some humorous but
severe and stinging strictures upon ll.ie,hund-
hills which haul been issued, during the day
on one of which 3 viper was illustrated.
At the close, J. F. Foote was called out, who
“clenched the nails” already driven ,by'plcdg-
ing himself as it public prosecutor to take
cognizance of every hr each of‘ the Liquor
Law which should come under his observa-
tion. This is what we want; enforce Mia and
all other existing Laws, in our doctrine.

K. A quantity of‘ powder which was pur-
chased and intended to be fired over the dc-
feat of the Town Agency, we learn is on hand
and for sale cheap. We presume application
may be made to our Pudding Lane oflicial,
or East Avenue Van-guard. We propose
that the proceeds be applied to the purchase
of‘ Oats, for the forlorn looking animal: which
rt-w about "that Band,” as the only repera‘
tion which can be made for the indigui ty
forced upon them. We dillike to jeer a fal-
len foe, but really, gentlemen, the joke isfoo
good to keep, and you must indulge us this
time. Our sympathies too, were touched by
the downcast and dejected look of more poor
horses on their return home.
Stabbing Aflray.
One Win. Hanford. of Whortleberry .Hills,
Wilton, stabbed one Nelson Buttery, in an al-
tercation 8 few days since. the exciting cause
of which seems to have been rum. We learn
that the officers of that town have as yet is.-
ken no notice of the affray. although it came
near proving fatal to Buttery.
The Eudora.
Nothing new has transpired since the roi-
sing of‘ this vessel to fasten the guilt of mur-
der upon tbe negro Williams. He remains in
a state of stolid indifference, and nothing can
be cxtorled from him. The small lump of
flesh found in the coal hole has been analyzed
and pronounced apart of the human body.
This negro was a hand on the sloop Domestic
last season between Norwalk and New York.
Important Decision.
We learn that the Town of Redding, on Sat-
urday last, by vote decided that 1' f a man
owned apiece of land lie had .72: right to en-
close it.’ This decision throws Blackstone in
the shade, and should be bound in calf as a
reference for the rising generation. The ques-
tion having now been ofiicially settled in
“ Public Town Meeting” that a man has the
right to fence in his own properly, our
City Fathers will doubtless be saved much
future litigation by throwing themselves back
upon this decisive precedent.
Q Congress has not yet been able to or-
ganize, and of‘ course no mischief has yet
been done the country.
fl‘ We have received 8 copy of the Water-
bury Alinaniic from the American ofllce.-
Quite n creditable affair, and speaks much for
the enterprise of the new city.
Dicxuxs‘ Womrs.—We would call the read-
er’s attention to the adv. of that enterprising
publisher, T. 8. Peterson, 102 Chesnut street,
Philadelphia. His uniform edition of‘ Dickens
Works are the only one’s to be bad in this
country to our knowledge. and the prices at
which they are offered certainly cannot be les-
sened by any other publishing house.

There are little children in the coun- ,
try who are coming into the city. We are ;
glad of it, for there are very few cb'ild- l
ten he-re, ainong the bricks and mortar.
It is often said that "you grow in be
like those you live with.” Ii’: true. ev-
ery word of ii. We grow hard and col»
lous here, like the bricks and granite.
We have outside poll-ab enough, but it is
outside, and so have the granite fronts.
There are few little cliildreu here. Tliey i
all learn, with u child’n aptness, the sell- 5
isliness or deceit of their elders. The),

tliein we speak, There are more of
them every day, and they talk right out,
and put their words into deeds. Now
for instance, fifteen years since we had
all sorts of institutions for the poor, the
sick, the maimed, the blind, and the or‘
phan But they went on in their old-
fashioned, lazy "good enough” kind of
way, and for every one they lielped,tliey
neglected thousands. Then came good
Mr. Pease-—-be is one of the children
we inean——-he came into the city, and
lie uttered sortie kind words, and after a
deal of trouble, he found some simple
childish hearts, and so they went to
work, and brought joy and gladness to
little ones of the Five Points, and even
among the grown up outcasts of those
dark dens, they found, soothed and saved
some who still had the heart of achild.
Why, our old-fashioned philanthropists
‘would never have dreamed of such a
thing. It was because in the great city
they had lost the heart of their child -

- Well, there were more little children
coming in. and they thought of the
poor, despised newsboy s, and they made
tkcm happy, and so with other classes
of the poor and friendless. ‘We have
all read the "Watchman ,” and the
"Newsboy," and other stories of the
humble and destitute. These utterin-gs
of the full heart are good for the great
cities. It is the talk of those who come
in from the fields, and who see sorrows
and wants that we of the city cannot
see, for we have ceased to be “green,”
and by so muc‘.i have ceased to be good.
We have mixed so muc'n with the world
that in learning its ways we have lost.
all else. Come, dear hearts, come in,
,4 more of you. There are thousands
4' more, classes and families, and men and
women, despised and shiiniied, and thrust
out, and a good kind word from you will
raise them up and save them. They
will never get it from those who live in
gilded halls and aristocratic avenues.-—
It must come from the hearts of child-
ren. "Sufi‘er litle children to come un-
to me, for of such is the kingdom of
heaven.” That is true, and the Saviour
knew that there were many such, who
had grown beyond the num:"s arms.
It is a cheeriiig fact that our litera-
ture is getting rid of the namby pnmby
love tales, ‘the "sorrows of Wetter.”
and the "heart trials” of fasliionables
and is finding that the human heart has
holler chambers, and human love more
sacred bonds and more blessed experi-
ences.
