Obituary.
It becomes our unwelcome duty to
announce the decease of our friend and
co-worker, W. S. VValerbury, recent
Editor and proprietor of the Derby four-
nal. He died, yesterday at 11 1-2
o’clock, A. M. after a painful illness of
less than two weeks, a victim of the
\-vorstr form of typhoid fever. I-lis age
was 26 years. His remains were borne
to the cars this morning, surrounded by
weeping frn-uds, and escorled by the
Masonic A~>O('ia£l0tl and Firemen, of

PEACE RUMORS.
The news by this arrival consists
mainly of peace rumors, but the public
It is a very noticeable circumstance that
the assertions of the British press are
quite at variance with those of influen-
tial continental papers. The I'f.r.nzu’o?;
Times, and D’Israeli’s organ, the L072.-
don Press, are prominent in asserting
that peace 15 near, and that Austria is 1

crs cal: admit at present, but which they
will not 51 us ‘.0 after another success-

'.7.‘b-2 Berlin correspondent of the Lova-
dms ‘Ck--'o.>:21cfe on the 4th, says: It is
impcssibis to separate what istrue from
what is false in the peace rumors. It is
no doubt true that all the Cabinets are
anxious for peace, but it is equally true-
thar. it cannot be said that negotiations
are going forward. At the utmost. pre-
paratory steps only are being made.
Prussia bas urgently demanded at St.
Petersburgh that Russia should name
conditions to which she is ready to sub-
mit. Russia’s reply to this demand of
Prussia is affirmed to be conciliatory'but
vague. The cabinet of St. Petersburg
shrinks from the difficulty of making
proposals that she may have the mortifi-
cation to see rejected.
The cabinets of Munich and Dresden,
promoted to a more influential position
by int‘ policy of France, have also es-
sayed to interfere. The measures they
took to that end were highly approved
at Paris, but it remains to be seen if they
will be successful. Our beat politicians
are divided. Some think peace neat;
others distant.
There has been no communication
whatever from Russia. A communica-
tion bas been made by the Austrian
Government, through the French Min-
ister at Vienna, to the French Govern-
ment. embodying terms which Austria
is prepared to propose to Russia, as an
ultimatum. This communication was
submitted by France to England, and is
now under consideration by the two
Gov-;i-uments. The terms are a great
zi.Evauce',on any that have been offered,
and mighi be accepted all round ; but
they are the terms of Austria, not of
Russia.
Austria does not guarantee
the allies if the ultimatum be rejected,
but only to break off relations with
Russia. At this point the matter re»-ts.

Painful Occurrence.
A son of James Finney Esq., who is sub-
ject; to fits, was crossing the bridge on Tues-
day morning last, and being taken with one
just before he reached the iron railing, fell
over the timber, which has been temporarily
left as a guard, and down the stonework some
sixteen feet, upon the bed of rocks, old glass,
«to. When taken up he was found to be
shockingly cut about the head and face, and
bleeding frightiully. He is now convalescent
we are glad to hear, although it seems :\ mir-
acle that he was spared from instant death.
This dangerous spot has been too long neg-
lecled and we are truly thankful that we have
no more fatal accident to charge upon the
neglect of our public authorities. Immedi-
ately after the and occurrence two of our Se-
lect Men went to work in person, and have
erected a proper guard which will prevent
the possibility of such an zu.-cidcnt hereafter.
It is not a pleasant task for us to be continu-
ally harping upon the short-comings of those
with whom We are upon the most friendly
terms of social intercourse, yet gentlemen, we
have a duty which we owe to the public far
higher and more imperative than any person-
al considerations, and that duty We mean ever
to perform, regardless of favor of friends or
fear of enemies, The besetting sin of our
town officers from time immcmorial, has been
"proci-astination”—delaying till to-morrow
what ought to be done to day—-and we trust
our newly elected board will redeem this well
earned reputation by keeping at work till the
half-dozen “man traps” about the Bridge have
been removed. To aid them in the matter,
we will direct their attention to u. very dan-
gerous place on the top of Mill Hill, where if
9. horse should become frightened, or any ac-
cident should happen to a harness, the most-
appalling consequences might ' enue. A
substantial railing should be erected witboui
another day’s delay.
Fatal Accident.
A little son of Michael Sullivan, 3 respec-
table Irishman living in the old house belong-
ing to Henry D. Smith, near the residence of
H. M. Prowitt, was instantly killed on Mon-
day evening last, by the falling of the well
house upon him. It appears that some chil-
dren had got the well rope out, and making
one end fast to a tree near by, commenced
.-winging upon it with the other and secured
to the well house, when their weight upon the
ropes pulled over the shed. which fell upon
the lad, the iron wheel striking him upon the
head, and breaking his skull.
@* The following is the wording of the
vote as passed at the late Town Meeting :
“ Whereas, at a special Meeting held De-
cember 10. 1855, it was voted ‘ That the Sc-
lect-Mcn be instructed to appropriateno more
money from the Town Treasury for the pur-
chase of liquors. and to discharge the Agents
for the sale of the some :” which action was
had by the vote of 160 of the -inhabitants of
this town, being less than one fifth of the le-
gal voters thereof. And whereas, it is believ-
ed that the spirit and interest of the existing
laws of this State requiring the establishment
and continuance of the Agencies recognized
by the Statute of 1854. in the several towns
thereof, and whereas the citizens of Norwalk
are and wish to be 9. law abiding people, there-

Comets.
Prof. Olmsted-‘s third Lecture, on Comets,
last Wcdncl-.c1ay evening, was the most inter-
esting one yet delivered. Although most of
his audience have read many of the facts stu-
ted by the Lecturers in Books and papers,
yet we doubt whether any one before had so
elem‘ a conception or raalization of the as-
tounding truths of astronomy. The next lec-
ture promises to be of still greater interest,
He is to illustrate his remarks on the occa-
sion by tbe costly charts, &c., belonging to
Yale College. Don’t forget to bear this lec-
ture, if you would be both instructed and
gratified.
J3‘ The Stamford Advocate says: “ It up-
pears that a man named O’Neil, had mortally
offended his Reverence, Father , by put-
ting him out. of his house one day when he
was making 8. pastoral visit, whereupon Father
excommunicated O’Neil and forbade
each and every one of his congregation having
any dealings or conversation with the damned
man. This edict was disobeyed by one man,
whose name we did not learn, and the Holy
Father soon after happening to meet the con-
tumacious individual on the road. commenced‘
mauling him most. unmercifully with it stick of
wood picked up from the roadside.”

bayonet. A little extra incense for fumiga-
tion, and a prayer or two. doubtless made the
sacred seat all right again.

Nuw Yomt, Dec. 21, 1855.
There are always some chords in the
great rnussic passages’ of life, which
thrill through the whole great heart of
the country, waking the soul of the vil-
lager, as well as of the citizen. as well
as some which reach the hearts only of
those "to the manor born,” whether of
the "rus” or the "urbs.” One of these
great universal chords is that" which is
sounding over the great Republic from
Northern Maine to Southern Texas, the
election of a Speaker for me representa-
tives of the people. The great ques-
tions at issue, the contingencies which
may result as to to the Presidency, the
patronage to be bestowed, combine to
render this choice of a presiding office!
one of ihe most important events of our‘
history. The statesmen of the ago just
past have departed. The stars that are
yet to shine are just rising. The pres-
ent Congress numbers among its mem-
bers those who are to be the leaders of
the land, its saviourt, or perchance its
betrayers. We hazard the assertion
that no previous Congress since the ad-
vent of Clay and bio cotemporaries, has
assembled on equal amount of brilliant
talent, undisp.ayed as yetthougb it may
be. Among its celebritiesyet to rice,

The civil war of the Press, which
Elias just commenceidis spreading the
‘ “cla.-=.b of its resounding arms" over the
land North of Masorf and Dixon's line.
(Our Southern brethren are too chival-
rous to suspect each other of the mint
‘of bribery and black-mail.) The pub-
lishers are pitching into the Press with
charges of corruption, and the chroni-
clera are umtedly in arms to sustain the
power of their craft. Justice probably
lies between. _ ,
The Press certainly has arrived to the
dignity of a power in the State, butiu
leaders must not make it a despotis:n.—-
Public opinion may be led by it, but it
must use but silken strings, or public
opinion may rebel. '
In this connection, we notice a remar-
kable leading article during the, past
week inc Brooklyn daily paper... Re-
ferring to P. T, Barnum and a supposed
change in the tide of his success,-it. rc-
marks that his good fortune was due
only to the press, and that his neglect of
that engine has operated against him.
There is a squint of black mail about
the article, which should be repudiated
by the types. The press of this city is
certainly in a bad state to control public
opinion. A majority, and we might say
a large majority, of its reporters and
writers are foreigners, [or moustached lit-
emseu-rs with foreign predxlections.—
Their daily collection of news, and item
generally, are colored by their foreign
ideas and prejudices-_-many of them are
lamemably ignorant of our history, our
feelings and out customs, and yet, their
crude concoctions form the staple of our
daily reading both in city and country,
and we are insensibly led by intellect
such as tliis.. Our public men are mis-
understood and misrepresented, our lite-
rature is depreciated, and private repu-
tation and the dearest interests of our
countrymen are sacrificed by the stiletto
of an imported bravo. A fearless dem-
onstration of public opinion against this
evil is imperatively demanded.
"Down East” is tangibly before the
city to-day in the person of some of its
last representatives. The Amoslreag
veterans are on parade through our
streets on their return from Wasliing-
ton. The good old stock does not seem
to have depreciated, and the old conti-
nental Regimentals of their fathers is a
fit costume for the stalwart form_of the
sons of the Puritans.
The spirit of pugiliem has received
new ‘life from the result? of the Baker
trial. Two serious disturbances have
been caused this week, by the rampant
exultaiion of the “Morriseey crowd-”-—

Wreck of the Steamship Crescent
City;
SAVANNAH, 'l‘uesday,_Dec. 18.
The schooner Baltic, Captain Pruden,
from Nassau, arrived here, reports that
the steamship Crescent City from New
York, for New Orleans via Havana, on
the id inst. was wrecked on the 7th, on
Mattinala Reef. Bahama Banks. The
passengers, crew and baggage were
saved and taken to Nassau by the wreck-
ers. The vessel had bilged, and it was
feared she would prove a total loss. The
brigautine Alma had been chartered to
convey the passengers and mails to their
destination.
