Runaway.
As Mr. H.C. Randle, accompanied by his
brother, L, H. Randle and Mr. H. C. Bard-
weli, were returning fi'onleresiportmn Wed-
nesday last, hadjust commenced descending
the bill this side of the residence of Zalnion
Sanford, deceased, the bolt dropped from the
thil s, letting them down upon the heels ofthe
horse, which of course started him. The
horse was going slow at the time of the acci-
dent. which enabled Mr. Bundle to check him,
but in the gyrations taken by the wagon. it
ran against a row of rocks, which for some
time have encumbered the road atlhis point,
throwing it over and starting the horse upon
a run. He soon cleared himself from the ve-
bicle and ran furiously with the shafts attached
to him for several rodsand brough up against
a stone wall, severely injuring his shoulder
by the concussion. Mr. L H. Handle and
Mr. Burdwell were thrown out over the side.
while Mr. Henry Randlc was thrown over the
dash—and banging to the reins, was dragged
through the mud several rods. None ofthcm.
however, sustained any serious injury. The
horse. which was a very valuable one, it is
feared, is totally ruined. it so,o costly pile of
stones it will prove to the town of Westport,

On Saturday morning last, a cry of fire
again aroused our citizens. It was caused
by the burning of a quantity of cotton cloth-
inginafclosetiu the ,2d story of Plait Price’s
; new tenement block, near the old Anson
Qui‘htardi'place: 1 It was soon subdued with-
. outa’ny carious damage, however. The exo-
dus of celt'lc adults and offspring, with their
stock-of worldly goods from the entire block,
was'the-most exciting feature of the alarm;
No.2 was promptly on the ground, and come
near being run off with again, we learn, be-
fore those Silver Grays came to the rescue.
. A new Fire Engine.—We learn that our
Committee on the part of the Borough have
closed a bargain with J. H. Sickles, for one
ofhis best Crane Neck Piano Engines, at
81000. There is a hose cart with five hun-
dredfeet of hose accompanying the machine,
with 22 feet of suction pipes. s It is a 7x9
cylinder, works with great ease and is capa
ble of throwing a double stream of water
twice the' heightof any building in town.—
She is to be her'e next week. ,
There is to be a meeting at Phoenix Hall,

“ Silver Greys, Attention !"
We we're startled by seeing a manuscript
notice posted about town, under the above
caption, last week,and naturally conjectured
thnt either “ sam’s” Grand .Pa had come to
lif'e'againmr that our dear friend Mr. Fill-
more,‘had'bccome frightened again about the
security of the union, but upon patiently
reading the notice through, we found that it.
was simply a call for a meeting this evening
at the ofiice of A. E. Smith, of" the Company.
of“old fogics," who purpose to assume the
bio“; of No. 2, hereafter, and who have tar
{ken to themscl'les the somewhat suggestive
as well as cupboneous soubriquct of “ Silver
Greys.” We suggest they provide'thcmselves
with a distinctive uniform in keeping with
their title, and as soon as Young. America
,gets his-new machine manned, we advise a
a test of the physical energies of old ’76 and
young ’58.

The Dedication at Greenwich.
The beautiful new granite church at Green-
wich was dedicated on Wednesday last, as
announced. The sermon was preached by
Rev. Wm. B. Wood of this place, and is said
to have been an effort of great power.—'—
We understand that. the Society, by vote.
have requested a copy'for publication.
Tile seats were rented on the next day. All
were taken but twelve (and sixteen others.
which as Well as the galleries, are free),.so
that nearly 100 brought $2,150.15, averaging
from $40 to-$50 each. .
Those in the old house have only broughl
from $800 to $1000 lor several years past.—
’1‘he whole affair is a complete success. We
hope the time will come when all our New
England Churches will be petrified to grou-
ite ; while the hearts of the. worshipers will
be turned from stone to flush.
In our uttelnptc d description of this church
lust’wcek, our types played sad havoc with
many of our corrospondent’s idealeis {heter-
ic, grammar, orthography. capitalization and
punctuation. Our diabolus, into whose
hands we placed the lnnlluscripts, was so
bewildered by beholding a. page of legible
writing, thatsentenpes, capitals, periods
and comas, flew from his niinole digits ill a
sort of St. Vitus’ danwdcaviug it for the ill
telligcnt reader to arrange them according
to his own individual taste. Such accidents
will happen in the best regulated printing
offices, and by dint of desperate cflgrt, we
believe we have heretoforecscapcd, with no
more than our share of newspaporiul blun-
ders. The only consolition‘ We can extend

_ Our Steamboat.
As will be seen by Capt. Greene’s bulletin
No. 2in .todayg paper, he has yielded to
~ the popula‘r'wis'n that the steamboat Confi-
dence might continue her trips as long as the
ice in the harbor will permit, and will there-
fore make two trips per Week, until further
notice. His advertisement announcing his
withdrawal was inserted under the impression
derived from the falling ofl‘of‘ his freight, that
the public did not particularly care about
steamboat facilities any later. in the year.—
Although he must necessarily run his boat at
a pecuniaryloss which he is illy able to bear,
yet he is not disposed to shirk any reasonable
demands for the public accommodation.

fl We noticed the fact, a few weeks
since, of the New Haven. Hartford & Spring-
field Railroad Company, presenting each
married man in their employ, with a fat
Turkev,on last Thanksgiving day. We have
just been informed of the benevolent action
ofthe modest President of a modest little
Railroad whicr-has its terminus not a
thousand miles from Daubury. The chief
officer of this Corporation has been in the
_ habit oucach Thanksgiving day of giving
' ,9. good fat Turkey to each employee of thc
. road out of—-—not the Company’s truss-
ury-'—but his own pocket. His generosity
becomes the more apparent.whcu it is stated.
that he does not make these presents out of

the fun of. the thing, or rather the interest
he feelv in the success of the enterprise. Pity

different color.” '
Now if there is anything in this. in the cor-
ner of the cellar (which is not deep, where
his body was said to lie,) will be found his
ashes, perhaps a button. or something to
show that a stranger perished in the flames,
and if nothing is found. many will believe
that it is so. Why should we happen to gel
the'same communication from different. medi-

the city council, occurred in New York

House—Mr. Ritchie moved to luv the
resolution looking to the abrogation of
the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty upoif the tu-
blc, which was refused. The resolution
was referred to the Committee of the

to reconsider the votcvby which Mr. Cur-
tis’s bill for a Central Pacific Railroad
was referred to the Select Committee on
the subject, A bill'gl'anting lands for
‘ railroads in New Mexico, Kansas and
Missouri, was introduced. Resolutions

E'- It appears by the evidence in“ a
divorce case now on trial at New Haven
brought. by a _ Mrs. Dr. Benuct against
her husband, andrcvealing the most any
hupdylife immaginable for years that the
young lady married upon short acquaint-
once and without her father’s approbation
or consent ;.-he had never, in fact seen the
bridegroom till after the marriage. The
results that followed this hasty and ill-
considcred union were just what might
.have been.expected. Let youth beware
how they form hasty marriages to repeat»
of at letsure.-— Commit.

WOne of the churclidsof this city(say.s

vestigating a lamentable charge conjugal
illfidclity—involving the reputation ot'scv-
eral church members male and female and
even assailing with suspicion some of the
highest authorities in the church. It is
claimed that revelathnshuvu been made,
by the idstrumentality ofl windows and
anger holes, which hre‘exceedingly =un-
pleasant. Of course-these charges are
are denied and resisted, or there would
be no occasion for the investigation now

to be blamed for this conclusion. W‘lhfimis-
erablc worthless preparations of it,‘th’at‘bave
been palmcd off upon the community—prepa-

virtues as they do of gold dust. It is a com.
mercial fact tbs: almost all of the Santa arilla
gathered in the World, is consumedTn ,ie old
countries of Europp, where the Science of
medicine. has reached its highest perfection.
and where they know the best what to emp10y
for the mastery of disease. Hence we are
glad to find that we are now to have a com-
pound of this excellent alternatiVe. which can
be relied on. and our communi y will n6! need
