Francis P. Blair on Democracy.
Our innovating Democrats, who put
under foot the representative ‘principle ;
who violate the known will of their
constituents; who-scorn their instruc-
tions to‘ redress the wrong they ‘ have
committed; who reply to the suffrages
that condemn their conduct, that they
are not democratic snffrages; who, in
the plenitude of their infallibility, read
out of the Democratic party Maine,
‘New Hampshire, Connecticut, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa,
because they will not submit to the will
of these, their representatives, who have
set up a test which . must ever exclude
,‘.Massachusetts, Vermont, and Rhode
Island from its ranks; who
have bar-
tered away rights secured to them all by
, cornpacts—will soon learn that Democ-
racy does not reside in the organization
of intriguers, but in l.he mass of the
people.
It is the glory of our great Republic
that its Democracy springs up from the
soil and flourishes in the fresh air of our
wide spread country, and that its rich

Fire
About 1 o’clock, this morning, a fire
broke out in the grocery store of Mr.
Jr-nningsin the building north ofthe Pe-
qnounock Hotel East Bridgeport. The
upper part of-this building was occupied
as a dwelling, by Mr. Stalging, and we
believe, there were other occupants-
The lower part was occupied by Messrs.
Jennings and Johnson, for :1 Meat Min-.
ket. The fire was first discovered,,by a
person living overhead. The flames
soon comutiicated to the rear part of the
Hotel, and on the other side, to the bull-
ding occupied by Mr_
Meat Market, and overhead as a dwell-
ing. by Mr. Moulthrop. The three
buildings were destroyed, Loss from
$l2,000,to $15000.

Sad Accident.
On Sunday afternoon last, several boys
were amusing themselves by riding in a
hand car on the Railroad at Coscob
Bridge. The boys ran the car on to the
Bridge, and while breaking up to pre-
vent the car from runninginto the draw,
one of tlietn, John Hughes, a’ little son
of Mr. E. B. Hughes, was knocked back-
ward off the car, and fell head foremost,
through the bridge to the water, some
forty feet below, striking his head
against one of the beams in his descent.
He struck the water head foremost, his
head penetrating the mud at the bottom.
In this dreadful position he remained
two or three minutes before he could he
extricated. He lingered between life
atid death uiftil half-past twelve o'clock
on Sunday night, when death relieved
him of his sufferings. He was nine
years of age, and a remarkably bright,
intelligent boy.-—-Stamford Advocate.

by our passing thought transmitted to

for the beautiful in nature or art, Wllicll
impels us to seize with avidity upon
whatever pleases us, and not only l“='*l-*'-
upoii it ourselves, but, with the little
spark of generous self-abrogation Wlllt‘-ll

it up to the universal eye, even thoufih
our own personal appetite be obliged to
‘suffer from a consequent abridgement. of
the supply.‘ Hence we must 8”“ Y°“
an accountof a peculiar Piano F97"
which we have discovered in the wars-
rooms of Janus W. Vase, Esq., on Tre-
moat, corner of Lenox Street, in this
city. It is reallya singular combination
of intrinsic excellences, both -as regards
niachination, touch and effect.
We had heard of his Pianos, and were
determined to let our own cars and 0?’
tics be judges for themselves. We Went
in prepared to tear the iristrtiinent ‘to
pieces verbally, if \iincpiil,g1.,find any de-
feet in it, and t.-bus, in our own mind es-
tablish on the ruins of one institution the
reputations of others which might al-
ready hold a high place in our estima-
tion. Candor, however, triumphed over
possible desire,’as you may perceive.
The cases of these instruments are
square, corresponding with, and but lit-
tle exceeding in size, those of our com-
mon pianos, while the works are on a
much more extended principle. In the
seven octave instruments the Wires are
stretched " on the square," thus giving
to the string or strings of each note a
perfect equalityin length, and hence in
tone and strength. By this meant‘ the
necessity which formerly existed Of
drawiug one string of a note to a greater
tension than the other in order to achieve
the equality of tone requisite in a piano
forte, is avoided—thus allowing less lia-
bllity of the loss of perfection in tuning
or breakage in the wires. The three
upper octaves are possessed of three
strings to each note, on the principle of
the grand piano forte, which the power-
ful English action brought io a still
higher state of perfection, combined with
the adoption of the grand-dampers, rend-
er the control which the performer pos-
sesses over the instrument entire, wheili.
er in passages soft or loud. Added to
this the sounding board is construgted on
a much more ample scale than that of
a common square pianofand gives the
tone a regularity and brilliancy which is
found in nothing short of a grand piano.
The instrument is a triumph and will be
considered so by all who see and hear it.
True, a piano is by no means, at the
present day. the insipid affair it was a
few years ago, but we are not to conclude
that it has arrived at perfection, and so
decided an advance toward that state
should be promulgated.
In the words of one of our local news-
papers, in a criticism upon these pidnos,
we say 2-" Taken as a whole, we must
concede that this improvement is a deci-
ded triumph of art, which will be the
more welcome as we can now have, to
all intents and purposes, a grand piano
in our drawing-rooms, and one which
will cost no more than a common instru-
mqpt. We congratulate Mr. Vose upon
his pre-eminent success, an?! the musical
people at large on their present ability
to procure rich ‘music at comparatively
small expense.” Pooit PETER.

which we were personally cognizsn_t,—-gi-iev-
ances, which, if the Directors of the road were
actuated by a proper regard for its best inter-
ests, they would thank any Editor for naming.
We think the charge of Quixotism recolls upon
ourneiglibor, who, in his haste to volunteer a
defence, has not only over-stepped his usual
fairness so far as to misquote our objections,
but has exposed additional points of weakness
to which we made no allusion. Passing his
sneers at Mr. Wilson. a respectable citizen of

“ It [the Gazette] says that there are a
thousand and one complaints daily made by
the citizens of Norwalk against the Company.
One of the most serious of these “ thousand
and one” is that the rates of fare for that
station have been increased, for the purpose,
as they say, of making the N orwalk people
pay for the Nor-walk disaster.” -
With all due respect, neighbor Advocate,
we did not claim the raising of the fare as
‘_‘ one of the mod: serious of the thousand and
one complaints.” On the contrary we express-
ed our belief that the Company roiild not af-
ford to run at former rates.
“ The Gazette talks as though the increase
of fate affected Norwalk alone, and was de-
si neslas a “s cial extortion from the citi-
g .. _, p‘ ,,.. _
zens 9f_Norwa1 . q _
plyridiculoiis, for the rates of fare were in-
creased tbrou bout the entire line of thevroad :
and the idea t at an additional charge of five
cents Yfor :ac1:lNorwt}lk qlasslgnger carried to‘
New’. or wi pay or t e orwalk disaster
in threeinillion years is almost as ridiculous.”
“ Ridiculous.” is it? Will you be kind
enough to name any other station than JV'or-
walk where the fare has been raised—not five
cents, as you assert, but !menl_i/-five cents ?
The i-ates of fare, according to your own
showing, (we prqsume you speak “ by author-
ity,”) have “increased throughout the entire
line of the road five cents.” From Norwalk
it has been increased liomty-five renfs ! But
increase of fare was not our ground of com-
plaint. You. have invited our attention to this
particular feature of the libcrality shown the
citizens of Norwalk. Your dash at the Dan-
burydt Norwalk Railroad, we presume, will
not materially affect the running of the trains
on so insignificant a branch. That little road
continues to pay only six per amt. dividends,
"whereas the New Haven Road, some years
ago, paid one or two of seven. So we are
told by one who has stuck to sell.
“ The Gazette says further that the N. Y. &
N 11. Company do not accommodate the Nor-
wa_lk dc Danbury Road—when the simple fact
is. that the trains of the N. H. Road connect
with every train of the N. .1: D. Road, leaving
or arriving at Norwiilk.”
, Untrue again, neighbor. We never said
any such thing. We stated that by raising
the fare so much more from Norwalk than
from any other station, Danbury and Ridge-
field passengers could_ reach New York by the
Hurlaem road cheaper than by the New Ha-
ven. And while :1. large deduction was made
upon each rhrmigli passenger of the eastern
connecting roads, no deduction was made the
passengers of the Danbury road. But this we
but incidentally named, presuming that the
two Roads were competent to arrange their
own matters without our interference.
, “ That paper says, too, that " it is admitted
that this (Not-walk) is the most important sta-
tion on the line of the road. with the excep-
tion of Bridgeport.” Pooh ! neighbor, who
admits it ? You stand at least fourth or fifth
in point of importance--even the little village
of N ew Rochelle stands higher on the list than
you do.” , , , . ,
Well, we suppose Norwalk isn’t much of a
town, but your testimony don"t distress us
after having. blundercd‘ and prevaricated so
egregiously. Unimpoi-taut as we may bt-{we
are still inclined to think that the daily re-
ceipts al. the Norwalk Station would not be
relinquished by the Company for those of any
Station west of us, not even excepting our cu-
terprising neighbor Stamford. The ‘rates of
fare being to you one of the most serious ob.
jections, let us in all candor, call your atten-

Another Murder in New Haven.
A man named Justusflatthews, was found
at the house of Widow Waketnsn, in Beaver
street, New Haven, on Monday last, with his
throat out; near the body was a small rope
with which it was evident Matthi-.w’s wrists
had been bound. This Mrs. Wskeman is the
pi-ophetess and leader of a small band of Mil-
lei-ites or Perfectioniiit-s.‘ She was Once 8 199'
ithere engaged in adisgusting outrage upon
flier own husband, as many of our older read-
J... may remember. The faithful had met as
Iiisnal in her dwelling, and had a religious
l ineeting, which was kept‘neai-ly all Sunday
night ; and Matthews was found by his son, at
Kg;-,lock the next morning, with his throat cut
ear to ear, in the front l'00ln.0f- the house.
He was about 35 years old, a workman in the
pistol factory at Wbitneyville. He was inur-
dered by one Sly, a brother of this “ she dev-
il,” as is asserted by his own confession,be-
cause he thought he had a devil in him and
wall enchanting his sister. They all testified
that they believed he would kill the prophetess
unless the evil spirit with which lie was pos-
sessed was cast out of him, and one swore that
Matthews even consented to being put to
death, if necessary, to eradicate the evil one.
Sly states in his confession that for this pur-
pose he got a stick of witcli-hazel, (believing
a chain to exist in this species of wood.) and
struck him upon the temple, which felled him
senseless to the floor. He then took a fork
and stabbing it in him, raised his liead-up and‘
cut\bis, throat several liincs acroos, with his
pocket knife. We do not believe a- more hor-
rible aipl shocking instance of Heathenisli
superstition and barbarity was ever perpetra-
ted in any civilized. country. And this in the
midst ofi the boasted nineteenth‘ century, and
in our boasted city of Churches, Colleges,
