Runaway.
On Saturday, just before noon, the horse of
Geo. H. Randle, Esq., by some means or other
got started off towards home, on a full run,
and, on its way up Main street, ran into Col.
Watson’s New Canaan stage, standing at the
time in front of Bunting’s bakery, starting his
horses at full speed up Pudding Lane. In
Col. Watson’s stage were two ladies--Mm
Elbert Raymond, with an infant In her arms,
Mrs. Heusted, wife of Rev. Mr. Hellfiliedy Of
the Methodist Church, her three children, and
a little lad named Atherton, of South Nor-
walk,whose father had left him but a moment
to run into Campbe1l’s confectionary store to
purchase him some candies. When opposite
the residence of C. T. Leonard, Mrs. Raymond
jumped from the stage with her child in her
arms, and striking on her back and head; is
very seriously, if not fatally injured. Her
child escaped unhurt. Mrs. Heusted, a small,
frail woman, with great presencepof mind re-
taincd her place in the stage, and although:
for the first few minutes, she had about as
much as she could do to keep her children
from leaping out, she finally got them all
down upon the bottom of the stage and quiet,
and then climbing forward, seized the reins,
which were tied in front, and by the time the
horses had reached New Bridge, a distance of
about a mile and a half, she had brought them
= dead stop. Her heroism and self-posses-
' all probability saved all on board from
injury, if not death. The run-away
_.s pursued by scores of terrified citi-
who were well nigh overjoyed at the
nate escape. A friend remarked to us
.t there had not been seen so many blanched
checks in Norwalk, since the terrible railroad
disaster, as when these horses were seen tear-
ing at such a furious speed With a stage filled
With women and little children.

last, in the theft of all his cocks, biddies, and
chicks. This is the second visit that has been

public notice to the miscreants, that the next
time they come they will not go off in quite
so high-feather, for if he doesu’t miss his

George Miller, a son of John M. Miller, a

cept the second finger. This joint being fairly

‘The importance of a Telegraphic Station in
this place, is already too well appreciated by
the community to need any word from us, ur-

known that it has been heretofore sustained
only by a direct subscription, in addition to
its own earnings. This subscription, pledged
for the last year, has now expired, and the
business at the station having so far increased
-during the year, the company have consented
to its continuance without tnis direct contri-
bution, and we are confident that our business
men will so far appreciate the action of the
Telegraph Company as to do all in their pow-

Surprise Itxcursion
A select party consisting of our best
citizens was hastily made up, on Thurs-
day last, and on the arrival of the Hart.
at her dock in the evening the Captain
was warned to clear decks, and pi'cpaI‘0
for the reception of a few guests, who do-
sircd a View of tlic Sound waters by
moonlight. The Captain obeyed orders
at once, and about 8 o’clock his person
and boat were taken possession of by
about one hundred and fifty ladies and
some fifty gentlemen. The I-Iart then
steamed away to Huntington, when she
rounded and returned, reaching Norwalk
Bridge at 11 o’clock precisely. The se-
nior portion of the company were much
indebted to Prof. Mcrriam’s Quartettc
Club for some befiitching singing, while
Young America, who always has the
dance in his limbs, went forward, and
with Buckuam and Black at the violin,
“tripped the light fantastic toe” prodi-
digiously. In the course of the evening,
one of our iuost influential citizens con-
nivcd with the steward. and had a table
spread below, when Captain, Clerk, Engi-
neer and Pilot were summoned to appear.
At this second surprise, Capt. Green rose,
and in a few neat and pcrtiiicnt remarks,
expressed his deep gratification at this
uuexpeced indication of sympathy and
good feeling on the part of the citizens of
Norwalk, and although he had encoun-
tered more sunken rocks than gold mines,
with such a display of kindly feeling, on
the side of his boat he was ready to pledge
that she should stick to her route as long
as he had a dollar left. It was the excur-

Laying a Corner Stone.
The ceremony of laying the corner
stone of a new Methodist Episcopal
Church at Georgetown, in this County,
took place in that village on Wednesday
last.
A large collection of people were gath-
ered together under the folds of an ample
tent, where seats were arranged for their
accommodation.
The ceremonies were opened with sing-
ing and prayer, after which an able and
impressive address was made to the audi-
ence by Rev. E. E. Griswold, the Pre-
siding Elder of the District, in which
the importance and beneficent results of
church building were strikingly illus-
trated.
' This address was followed by another
fro'm the Rev. J. B. VVa.keley, of New
York City, which held the audience eu-
tranced for more than an hour. The
address of Mr. Wakeley was replete with
interest from beginning to end, and, for
fitness of conception, aptness of illustra-
tion, and beauty of language, is rarely
equaled. '
This .put the audience in good trim for
a contribution toward the expenses of
erecting this temple for the worship of
Almighty God.
At its close, subscriptions were called
for, and were soon responded to, to the
amount of some $220, which exceeded
the most sanguine expectations of the
Society.
After this, Elder Griswold proceeded
to lay the corner stone, in the name of
the “Fatlier, and of Me Son, and of the
Holy G/Lost,” assisted by the Pastor, the
Rev. Mr. Aston, Rev. J. B. IVakeley,
Rev. Mr. Champion, and others.
The usual deposits were made, and the
company were dismissed with singing the
Doxolcgy, and l the Benediction, pro
nounced by Rev. E. E. Griswold.
The day was passing fine, the location
picturesque and beautiful, and the whole
occasion made most pleasant by the
courtesies and genial hospitality of the
kind-hearted people of Georgetown.

Well, sir, we meant the “Mott place”
that was, but now is known, by the quiet

You let the cat out : the place, then, does
really belong to your neighbor Bishop.
Ah, me! He is such a public spirited
man, he will not let it stand till the wind
blows it down, thereby crushing its me-
7)Ze7'0‘1(rS inmates, and causing censure to
fall upon its owner. No, no! he’ll not
run the risk any longer. The old house
must fall by the ruthless hand of disease
and decay, or be removed speedily by
some benefactor to human life. “So

says :— Q
There were soiuc large sales at the
board to-day, and ii. material improve-
merit in prices. The greatest advance
was in Illinois Central, which closed
yesterday morning at 61%, and in tlic af-
ternoon at 94. Today it opened at 104,
seller three, and the same price, seller
sixty days, and closed at 1I0, only eight
shares, having been sold at that price.-

In bank shares there were sales of Me-
chanics’ Baiik at 110 ; Bank of America

tropolitan 99§, and American Exchange
and Park at 95.
In State stocks there was less done,
but in most instances prices were decided-
ly liiglicr.
The aspect of matters continues to
improve in the street.’ That is, tlic1'c is
a more confident feeling ; and in the pre-
sent condition of the country, and its
prospects for the future, this is the main
thing wanting. Let that remain undis-
turbed, and we have every confidence
that matters will not be long in working
themselves right again. Money of course
still remains tight, and the banks are
obliged to move cautiously, but the Cali-
fornia receipts of more than a million
and a half to-day, will strengthen the re-
sources, especially as the export demand
has ceased, the domestic receipts are con-
siderable, aiid the sub-treasury is at pre-
sent paying out more than its receipts.

J ohii Mastersou, on Golden Hill, was
run over by a farmmer’s wagon, on Wed-
nesday. The driver attempted to escape,
but was promptly arrested by Mr. Ed-

Female Courage. ,
The N. Y. corcspoiideiitof the St. Louis
Rcpubliccmrelatcs the following instance
of female courage and what came of it:
A little romance in real life is a pious-
ant thing, cccc szgmom. About one year
i ago, at fine old lady, residing in one of the
plcasantcst of the many plegisaiit country
seats on Staten Island, departed this life.
so suddenly that several inciiibcrs of her
family were absent at the time of her do-
ccase. As it was desirable to preserve
the body until their retiiru, it was packed
in ice, and watched from night to niglit iii
the customary fasliioii. On one of these
evenings, Mr. P-—~,Wll0 had just gone to
the Island to l.)0€ll'(l througli the summer,
and who was still quite a stranger there,
was somewhat uoii-pliissed by a request
that he would go over to the house of
mourning and make one of the company
of wa.tclici's. No other gentleman could
be foiiiid—woiild he be kind enough to
go ? P had been promising himself a
good nights rest after the cares of biisiuess
in New York; but nevertheless he good-
naturedly waved his right to the sweet rc-
storer, and consented to watch. Ile was
told that two young ladies, who were not
disagi'cc:i.bIc, would be his compaiiioiis in
this melancholy business, that his only
care would be to change once every hour
a cloth moistened with some antiseptic,
which lay on the face of the corps. So
about 11 o’clock in the evening, he
went his way to the lion:-‘e of niouriiiiig,
and was there introduced to the i"ai_r fe-
males who were to become his compan-
ions iu vigil. Time wore on, wlieu, just
as the clock had struck the hour of mid-
night, the very hour when graveyards
yawn, the party were star:lcd by a loud
noise p1'occediug from the next room
where the corps was laid. Whcrupon
one of the ladies fainted, or pretcncled to
faint, and was laid out on a sofa. The
other, however, whom we will call J uliu,
caught up a candle, and announced to
P , with quiet coinage beaming from
her line eyes, that she would acconipaiiy
him, to ascertain, if possible, the cause of
the stmngc disturbance.—'l‘liough some-
what nervous, he felt he could go almost
any where with such a companion, and
the two preceded to the chamber of
death. Imagine their feelings when they
entered the room and saw the venerable
corpse in the center of the floor, leaning
upon the long ice box, in which it had
been packed, one end of the box liaviiig
fallen. Still J Ulla did not faint, but say-
ing with womanly thouglitfulness, that
it would be a pity to disturb the family,
who were exhausted by care and grief,
assisted P . ..to restore the body to the
box, and the box to its place. A little
philosophical reasoning suggested that the
ice in one end of it had incited much fas-
ter than in the other, and being carelessly
balanced ouits props it had suddenly fal-
len and spilled out its contents in this sud-
den and startling manner.
The rest of the night were away with-
out any further alarm, but it may be sup-
posed that I’ did not read much,
and was not obliged to smoke much to
keep himself awake. It is reasonable to
conjecture tlist he coiiversed somewhat
with the girl who l_nipi'esscd liini as much
by her calm courage and self control, as
she charmed him by her beauty and good
sense.‘ Not having been present, I can
give no futher account of that evening”
entertainment. Nevertheless a “party” is
this city, whom modesty forbids me to
iucutioii, has lately received some cards
whose cabalistic inscriptions are meant to
convey the idea that this couple of young
people, who obtained an insight into each
otlier’s cliaracters iii “ the house of mour-
ning,” are intending to lJc_co_ine still uiore
iutiinatly acquainted in “the house of feast.-
iiig.” As Miss Mills was wont to say to
David Copperfielc , “such is life.”
“Great Democratic Victory !"
Under this head the Democratic papers
are publishing the supposed defeat of
Major Rollins, the Free Labor can-didntc
in Missouri. In an article claiming the
election of Stewart, and rejoicing over
the defeat of Rollins, the Boston Post
says :
He committed himself openly every.
where to the policy of eiicoui-aging the
free state emigration to Missouri, and ad-
vocating the cause of free white labor.
Observe l To defeat a candidate who
will encourage free state emigration and
advocate the cause of the white laborer,
is a Democratic Victory! Mark that !

Clay was living he would be in politics
about where his son is? If not there
where would he be ?—Pa2v.Ga:ettc.
A capital way of finding out what Mr.
Clay would do is to see what he did do.
He was not ii. man whose acts contradict-
ed his words, and the following were his
words :
“Coming as I do from a slave State,
I owe it to myself, I owe it to the truth,
I owe it to the subject, to say that no
earthly power could induce me to vote
for a specfic measure for the introduciou
of slavery where it had not before existed;
either soul/i or north of that line,” (the
Missouri compromise line.)
Again he said :
“If slaves are voluntarily carried into
such a jurisdiction (where slavery does
not exist by local State law) their cliuiiis
instantly drop 0E and they become free,
emancipated, liberated from their bond-
age.”
