Our New Depot
Was opened this Monday, A. 11., for the ac-
commodation of passengers. The new Edi-
fice is neatly 'and tastefully arranged, and
is a great improvement upon the old “Spring
Board” structure. A 'great improvement is
also made in its stairs, which the ladies will
appreciate. We can’t shed any tears over the
late disastrous fire,when we view these ad-
vantages gained—and in fact have to keep a
dilligent Watch over ourself to prevent a
lurking wish for a second installment!

fl- We are requested by the members of
the Norwalk Union School to express in their
behalf, their grateful acknowledgments for
the funds so generously contributed by their
friends for the purchase of Philosophical and
Chemical Apparatus. They are happy to an-
nounce that the Apparatus has been procured
and is now in the High School ready for use.
The donors andall friends 'of the School are
oordia lly. invited to call on Friday P. 11., and
examine for themselves.

“Saratoga is unusually lively for this peri-

the entire responsibility of a public sntortainment at

I _ 'the mortilcations of failure with none but themselves
and their action is entirely independent of ,the school
and its officers, we think they will give a practical ex-
emplification of the Sam Patch sentiment—now so pop
‘ pin with Young America—that " some things can be
done as well as others.” Go to see and bear the boys.

PICKED UP. —0ne of our citiuns picked up a closely-
corked bottle on “ CalfPasture” beach a day ortwo ago
containing a scrap of an old printed circular of W. H.
Bidweli, No. 5 Beeklnan-st., N. Y., on the margin of
. which is written in pencil-—“ We do not expect to get
. , through—if found please report loss of yacht Eagle of
‘ New Haven.” A signature is attached, that Is quite
indistinct, which different persons have interpreted
“flames Platt” and “Thea. Arnot.” There may be
some disaster connected with its history, yet from the
fact that no loss of such ayacht has been reported by
‘ ; our New Haven exchanges, we apprehend it to be a
wrath and foolish attempt at a cruel joke.

We find the ‘fjournalist” of that “Excur-
sion Party” didn t give all the nicer points
and incidents of travel as is evidenced from
a"confidential” report, which comes to us
via Danbury: Our upper shire correspon-
dent gives us one upon the Attorney, who en-
tirely contrary to his wouted habits of life,
essayed to economies in the matter of a pas-
sage from Saratoga to Gotham. It required
but little of his persuasive eloquence to in-
duce the rest of the Company to take tickets
with him on the “Opposition Line,” which in
this case was promised to be the Francis
Skiddy. Reaching the point of their embark-
ation, however, they found a sorry little tug,
which was to steam them from Troy, down to
a point some twenty miles below Albany
where the Skiddy lay aground, ready to re-
ceive them ! Before reaching the S.,even the
little tug grounded, and being without so-
commodations for sleeping,or even sitting,
with not a chance for amorsel of bread,
the supperless, half famished party at about
1 1 o’clock began to take a serious view of the
condition of things. The “Alderman” coun-
celed patience—shook his plethoric sides in
accustomed jollity, and 'subsided in an im-
mense coil of rope, and having quieted his
conscience of all past ofiicial sins, soon slept
and snored, as if he were the only propelling
power on board! The Medical man sighed
despondingly, as he bethought him of pre-
scriptions of chicken broth, beaf tea, and an-
odynes. The Clergyman called to mind the
“wise saws” of Shakspeare about a “Divinity
that shapes our ends,” dc.,while the Lawyer,
seeing the bright lights from the New Worldv
shining afar ofl',was filled with visions of roast
peacock, snipe, frog.qnail and partrage, of
oyster soup and omelette, of charlotte-russe,
and sylabubs; clean sheets and spacious state
rooms; so. ’twas but the work of. a few mo-
meuts’ to establish a Ferry from the tag to
the Steamer and the lawyer was being lifted
up the side of the latter just as our friend
Morris of Danbury, who. had been on another
scrimmage for pick pockets,we presume, hove
by and met his old friend in the act of board-
‘ing. Having but just awoke, and supposing
the boat on which he had taken passage at
Albany to be still under headway—his won-
der and surprise can well be conjectured, as
he saw them lifting his legal friend and towns-
man as be supposed. out of the River below.
The lawyer explained—the bewildered
Morris rubbed his eyes and wanted to know
“how the d—--l he came to befished up our
of the Hudson River! Meantime the legal
man caughta glimpse of the Constable’s 1m};
oner, and not having had a client for a fort
night and finances being low. was impatient
for a “profemional engagement.” Detective
grew nervous over the propositiou--didn’t
want any interference with matters purely
constabulatory, &c., dc. Finally—prisoner
was spirited away : mutual explanations
brought about mutual understandings. A
sumptuous supper and capacious state room,
closed the tableau.—Though friend Morris
says, although three rooms 011’, and across the
passage at that, he could distinctly hear esca-

Dorian—We publish below a communica
tion which should have reached us some two
weeks or more since, but from some unac-
countable cause was delayed until now.—
Knowuiug that our perennial friend, “ the
gentleman from Darien,” who banks in noto-
riety as a grampus does in seaoserf would
feel slighted if we failed to “make a note” of
his “ tea party,” we hasten to give it pub-
licity. A good democratic brother of his,
informed us just after it happened, that
the elect and faithful had a most precious
season of it. That the fluids and edibles were
a. No. 1, and gilt edge, both as to quantity
and quality—while the wit of the entertain-
ing host outrau anything which ever came
before. In short so rapt and ecstatic did our
friend become in the mere description of the
festival, that we began to feel that our jolly
friend Roberts had made a great mistake in
not sending for us. Well, well; may Darien
always have as good hearted a lecofoco to
represent her as “Uncle Roberts.”
For thefl’orwaik Gazette.
The good people of Dorian, were, on
Saturday evening last, aroused to a real-
izing sense of their earthly existence by
the sudden and rapid explosion of a “Six
Pounder,” near the Darieu Depot Post
Ofiice. What’s in the wind now? was a
question which very naturally arose in
our mind. Another Atlantic Cable cel-
ebration? another “Fourth of July i”—
tbat can’t be surely. What then? what
great achievement is calling forth such a
demonstration of popular approval? We
determined at once to repair, to a posi-
tion as near the enthusiastic crowd which
had gathered, as practicable and obtain
In ible the desired information. Our
‘curiosity was gratified beyond expecta-
tion, and we learned that the admired
legislative comedian by whom our town
has had the honor of being represented
in the last session of our State Legisla-
ture : the well-known “weasel” of ’58 no-
toriety, having conceived the idea of giv-
ing to those friends, to whom he is in-
debted for the position hc has occupied,
a “great supper,” was now executing his
plans to the infinite delight and satisfac-
tion.of the aforesaid friends, who were
manifesting their gratification in the strik-
ing manner that first brought us to the
scene of action.
The basement of the Post Office was
made to answer the double purpose of
reception and dining room, being supplied
with all that gratified the “inner man”
while the honorable gentleman was als'o
here ready to listen and reply to toasts
given appropriate to the occasion.
At the earnest salicitation of one of the
invited guests, we took a peep inside
where a grand display of “glittering gen.
eralities” was presented to the view,
among which were, the several varieties
of fluids so popular with the ardent de-
mocracy—butter, crackers and cheese.—
There were also numerous bursts of‘elo-
quence from various members of the par-
ty which were no doubt very edifying to
those who could comprehend them.
But as we were not of the fraternity,
our stay must necessarily be short, and
we again took our former position as an
outsider. It was now becoming late, the
firing of cannon had ceased. the “spark-
lung” generalities were fast disappearing,
and the satisfied crowd began to disperse.
Our Representative went plodding his
way homeward, doubtless congratulatiu
himself that the last scene in . his fame
comedy had secured him his recent seat
for untold years. > . Aaeus.

Race—Honesty the best
Policy.
At the solicitation of my friends, and on
account of the many stories current about the
late Boat Race, I feel bound to give a fair
account of the matter and leave it to the
public to judge for themselves, whether there
is any justice in charging me with meanness
for refusing to give up the stakes. First. I
claim that no one can reasonably think I
could have really believed, or been in earnest
in saying my boat could beat the world. Ev-
ery one must know that a remark of that kind
made as it was, could mean no such thing,
literally.
The facts are these : one day, after
I had been sailing with some friends, we
stopped at Gregory’s Point, and it was the
general remark the boat sailed very well. I
said,“yes, boys, I will bet 3100 she will beat
any boat of her dimensions in the world.”—
This remark was made to the friends with me.
Mr.Chas. B. White had come in uubeknown to
me, and immediately stepped up and said “ I
will take that hot.” I turned towards him
astonished. I had had no idea of making such
a bet of course. Here was the offer suddenly
accepted however, and I paused a moment to
reflect what I should do. I then proposed
Mr. White and myself should each deposit
$100 in Capt. Burke’s hands within five days,
and if either should back down from the terms
to be agreed on, such party should forfeit
$25. Mr. White preferred the whole should,
in that case, be forfeited. I accepted his
terms. Mr. White proposed the keel should
be the guide in measuring the dimensions. I
The Beat
agreed to it, and Capt. Burke was appointed
to measure the keels. Mr. White then propo-
sed the race should come off any day I would
name in fifty days. A few days after I named
the 21st of June. Mr. White then claimed
the agreement was, the race should take place
fifty days after the bet. I yielded the point
for the sake of peace, but gave him to under—
stand that “binding was no go.”
Capt. Burke measured the keel of my boat
and found that it was 20 ft. 10 inches, inclu-
ding the steru post, prick post, and rudder
post, and so informed Mr. White. In the lat.
ter part of June, Mr. White, Mr. R. B. Cran‘
furd, and Capt.Smith of the Jersey boat—the
Greenville ;-called on me to make final ar-
rangements for the race. Capt. Smith said
the Greenville wand 20 foot boat and he should
take her. Mr: White chose Mr. Craufurd, and
I chose Mr. L. P. Allis, forjudges. July 14,
was appointed for the race.
Now, I claim, and have claimed, that Mr.
White having the dimensions of my boat, and 0
having named his boat. he could not “ go
back.” If he haQuot arranged the prelimina-
ries and named hlsboat till the day of the race,
he would have a right to do so then; but I claim
that having settled these matters beforehand,
he was committed, and the bet was made, and
the race was to come off on the terms and
conditions previously settled and fixed upon.
I leave the above for readers to draw their
own conclusions.
Mr. Crauiurd, in“ playing second fiddle”
to Mr.White, was caught in his own trap, as
he knew the boat he named was longer in
the keel and proposed or was desirous of cut-
ting of the boat’s keel to make it answer.—
Capt. Burke called on Mr. White and told
him he had measured the Greenville and the
keel was 16 inches longer than my boat’s
keel ,and I was informed Mr. White then sug-
gested the keel should be cut down so as to
answer. I must say this looked to me like
forging a good ways for the “ Almighty dol-
a .
The day before the race Mr. White and my-
self met at the point, and to settle the dim-
cuity w. ich had thus sprung up. I propos d
to Mr. White that he might call on some reg-
ular ship-c arpent er and leave it to him
whether the Greenville had a longer keel
than my boat, and both should be bound by
the decision . Mr .White then proposed that
the race should take place and afterwards we
should each select a ship-carpenter and they
should measure, and if the Greenville was
found to be an inch or half an inch longer
than my boat he would give up any claim to
the bet. This proposition was made before
witnesses. I accepted it, and the terms were
once more agreed upon. Capt. Burke was
then called and the new arrangement repeat
ed to him, and we left,as far as I know, fully
satisfied.
The next day at starting time I said to Mr.
White,I shall hold you to your bargain.—
Capt.Burke was called and stated to Mr. W.
that the agreement was to measure after the
race. Mr. White then said that I must sail
with the black boat (Mr. McCready’s) or
with the Greenville without further measure-
ment. This new proposition I objected to,and
claimed we should go with the Greenville as
already arranged.
Your error, Messrs. Editors, is in saying I
accepted the proposition to sail with the
black boat (the Comet) and judges were ap-
pointed for the race. The fact is the judges
were named, and a race arranged with the
Greenville as I have stated, the black boat
was not named till the first bet had been
backed out of, and the stakes mine by the
terms of the bet. The time for starting had
arrived, and Mr. White came forward with his
new proposition. The public had come to see
a lace. The money was now mine and the
bet decided. I was willing the public should
see a race and my boat was started with the
black boat for the gratification of the public ,
but I asserted the bet was over. and the men-
ey mine, and that I would not give it up. An-
other mistake, Messrs. Editors, is in your sta-
ting Mr. McCready cfl‘ered to take the whole
bet of $100 on his beat, this is not of so much
consequence, but I am assured Mr. White and
Mr. McCready were partners in the $100 bet,
which they urged me to accept as their last
proposition. The further assertion that l
contemplated “ getting rid of my live stock”
is as far as I am concerned, unfounded. One
thing more, Mr. White did not " return my
stakes,” nor did he offer to give up his. Had
he done so, I should have taken them as being
myjust due by the terms of the bet, well
understood. as I supposed. by all parties.

ation of its worth. Its simplicity entitle s it to
a trial :—
Eus. Com—I am constantly receiving letters
requesting me to send the cure for scrofula
published by you about a year since. I have
never known it to fail to cure the scrofula,
even in its worst stage, and I have reports of
its curing old ear I believe that it can no
case do injury. his is the direction; Put
two copper cents in a cup, and pour on them
one ounce of aquaforiis and two ounces pure
strong vinegar, There will be a strong spark-
ling. Leave tbe cents in. Apply it to the
sore twice per day, with a solt brush or rag.
Before using it wash the sore with a rag wet
with warm water. It will and should give
pain. If too severe, add to it a little pure
rain water. Where used. I shall be pleased to
be informed of the result.

A Yousa Lanr ox Damn—While drilling
recruits. a Liverpool sergeant discovered
among the .awkward squad a very pretty girl
disguised ill male attire, She blushed and
excited the sergeant’s suspicion, who found,
upon questioning her, that she was endeavor-
ing in this manner to reach a near and dear
relative in the rank and file of England’s de-
fenders. Twenty-five shillings and some pet-
ticoats were given her, and she was sent. an
unhappy maiden,_back to her home in Dublin
to he consoled by her parents.
- The Brigham.
By the annexed item from the Hartford
Press it will be seen that Mr. Brigham has
concluded not to stand a trial of the charges
brought against him, thus virtually acknowl-
edging his guilt.
The Rockville Republican says :-- ‘
“ The Brighams are all three of them on
their way to California, wife poisoner and the
two brothers who ueut after him, as well as
the schoolmistress. So says a letter to the
wife of one of them received last week.”
F The Rockville Republican, which from
its knowledge of most of the parties we sup-
posed was certainly correct, published an
item which we copied, saying that Brigham
the teacher charged with several attempts to
poison his wife in Norwalk, had gone to Cali-
fornia, taking with him Miss Martha A. Wlth-
e , whose name was in some way drawn into
tfie scandal of the case. On the contrary we
are credibly informed that Miss ‘Withey has
had no correspondence or conversation m h
Brigham since the developments at Norwalk,
and is quietly teaching school in Vermont.—
It is true that Brigham has absconded. His
relatives are responsible for the $5000 bonds,
given for his appears t the Snperlorcourt.
Hartfa Press, Saturday.
3' So much of the foregoing as state: that Miss
Withey is teaching school In Vermont, or anywhere
else, we have reason to believe is untrue. Let our
friends of the Press ask their “ credible” informant to
name tbeplace where Miss Withey is teaching, and they
will have reason to doubt his credibility. So much of
the foregoing as states that Brigham and Miss Withey
have had neither “ conversation or correspondence
since the developments at Norwalk,” we blow to be
false. They have had both.
SUICIDEIN DANBURY.—We learn that a Mr. Timo-
thy B. Sherman, a resident of Danbury, aged about 50
years, committed suicide by hanging himself in his
cellar on Friday afternoon last. No cause is assigned
for the not other than probable Insanity.
On the samd afternoon, a Mr. Denney Hull, an aged
and respectable inhabitant of Danbury, fell off the stool
on which he sat milking, and immediately expired.

Cornor Humans—We have received a pretty collec-
tion of sacred and moral songs and glees designed for
the “ little ones at home,” from Sylvester Main, limp,
of Ridgefield, who is in somewise connected with its
publication, we believe. It will make a moat acceptable
volume for parents and children.
HARTFORD CITY DIRECTORY.—We owe an apology
to our friend Gil. Gm for not sooner noticing the re-
ceipt of a neatly bound copy of a superbly printed Di-
rectory of the city of Hartford. If the pugnacious lit-
tle general were as successful in his military operations
as he is in getting up Directories, the State, and anne-
oially the city of Hartford, could hardly dispense with
his really valuable services.

rested aud restrained by several citizens be-
fore he had time to accomplish his object.—
The injured woman was conveyed to the New

pronounced the wound a mortal one. The

fact of his being prevented from committing
euiciue, as he intended. McDonald is about
thirty years of age, and fee native of Georgia.

Armistice till August 15.
NEW YORK, July 21.
The Africa arrived at 5 A. M. She
left Liverpool on the afternoon of the
fifth.
run WAR .
On the ’ith inst, the Emperor of the
French telegraphed to the Empress that
an armistice had been concluded between
the Emperor of Austria and himself, and
that commissioners had been appointed
to settle the clauses and duration .of the
armistice, .
The Paris Moniteur, in publishing the
official dispatch, appends the following re-
marks: It is necessary that the public
should not misunderstand the extent of
armistice. It is limited merely to a re-
laxation of hostilities between the beiiger-
ent armies, which, though leaving the
field open for negotiations, do not enable
us for the present to see how the wor
ma be terminated.
he armistice had given rise to a vari-
ety of speculations in the English papers.
The London Times believes in peace, and
remarks that before the truce is ended,the
French army will be refreshed and rc-in-
forced, a fleet of gun-boats will be ready
for launching upon the lake that sur-
rounds Mantua, and a great army will be
ready to make its descent upon the shores
of Northern Italy. Broken and dispirit-
ed as Austria now is, she is yet better
able to fight at this moment, than she
will be at any future time. We believe
therefore in peace, and we believe that
the path to peace maybe made smooth
to her, for the Emperor has won the ad-
vantage which for the moment he propo-
ses to himself. If this war between
France and Austria is ended, France
comes tremendously in power, out of the
the conflict, and Austria and Europe will
look on with still increasing interest. -—
The London Post inclines to think that
the proposition for an armistice came from
the moderation of the Emperor of the
French, and is of opinion that Austria
will consent to sacrifice her Italian sway,
and thus end the war. The News says
it would be interesting to know whether
the propositions of an armistice came
from Austria or from a third power, for
no one will suppose that it was made by
France. The Globe interprets the armis-
tice as a prelude to peace.
Paula, July 9,—The Moniteur of to-day
contains the following.
The armistice was signed at Villa
France, on the 8th inst., between Mar-
shal Valllant and Baron Hess. The
term is fixed for the 15th of August. It
stipulates that commercial vessels, with-
cut distinction of flag, shall be allowed
to navigate the Adriatic unmolested.
The _ following items show the complex-
ion of nfi‘airs before the armistice was an-
nounced.
Team, July 7.—-The fortress of Pes-
chiera, now invested by the Surdiuian ar-
my is cannonnaded day and night. With
the aid of the gun boats which will soon
be launched on the Lake of Gerda, the
resistance is not expected to be very pro-
longed. . .
BERNE, 'lth.—-Advices have been re-
ceived from Lameden to the 6th inst.—
All the Austrian troops have left Winds-
chan and are concentrated on the Stel-
vio Pass, where a conflict is expected to-
day.
The Times correspondent with the
Austrian army says that a bombardment
of Verona and Mantua will not suflice,
there must be a. good deal of fighting at
close quarters before anything can be done
They and the other strongholds of this
great military quadrangle, are very. much
stronger than they were ten years ago.—
There are great field works to be taken
before any approach can be made to the
main defences, and in the meantime Aus-
tria may have brought together again an
army capable of risking another general
action. , -
At Verona quantities of grain are
stored in every available place, and 25,-
000 Hungarian oxen are either there or
in the immediate neighborhood.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon-
don Times says that on the 3d inst., the
French fleet, consisting of 64 sail, was at
no great distance from Venice.
The Vienna Gazette publishes an
amended list of the losses at Solferino.—-
As to officers, the returns give 90 killed,
414 wounded, 13 made prisoners and ’10
missmg. Of rank and file 2,500 killed,
and 8.621 wounded, making a grand to-
to] of 11,213. Nothing is said respect-
ing the number of men taken prisoners.
The French and Sardinian killed and
wounded. were 18,245. The numbers
given by tthienna journals are believed
to be below the truth.

anrnna POINT, July 24, 1859.
The steamship North Briton, from
Liverpool at 9; o’clock on the morning
of the 13th inst., arrived ofl' this Point at
a very early hour this morning. Her
dates are four days later than those al-
ready received.
Tums, July 11.
An official bulletin publishes the text
of the armistice. Besides the articles al-
ready known, it is stated that the belliger-
ent armies will keep the positions they
now occupy. The railways to Verona,
Pescbiera and Muntua may, during the
armistice, be used to carry provisions to
those fortresses.
Pcschicra and Mantua are being pro-
visioned, and the provisioning of Verona
will be completed in two days.
The works ofl'ensive and defensive of
Peschiera to remain in their present state.
The Ts'mes’s Vienna correspondent says
that-it was believed there that the British
Government had brought about the ar-
mistice. ' .
Another authority says that the Prince
Regent of Prussia took the initiatoryiu
suggesting the armistice.
The Vienna Gazelle says of the armis-
tice that an autograph letter addressed
by the Emperor Napoleon to the Empe-
ror of Austriuled to the negotiations, the
result of which was a five weeks’ armistice.
A Verona telegraph dispatch says that
the armistice was concluded after repeat-
ed requests from the French, and after
their consent had been obtained to all the
conditions asked by Austria.
A Trieste telegram says that the Ans-
trian war steamer Curtatone, backed by
the garrison of the fortress sustained a
successful contest on the 7th in the chan-
nel of the Zara with the French frigate
In'ipetense.
THE LATEST.
The result of the interview between the
Emperor of France and the Emperor of
Austria was the concluding of a peace.
The following is the telegram from N a-
poleon to the Empress announcing the
fact. .
Vsusolo, July 11th.
Peace is signed between the Emperor
of Austria and myself. The bases of
peace are: The 1%” Confederation
under the honorary presidency of the
Pope ;‘thc Emperor of Austria cOncedcs
his rights in Lombardy to the Emperor
of the French, who transfers them to the
King of Sardinia ; the Emperor of Ans-
tria preserves Venice, but she Win form
an integral part of the Italian Confeder-
atiou.
This dispatch was bulletined on the
Paris Bonrse on the 12th.
The London Daily chws affirms that.
the just hope and expectations of Italy
are deceived. It adds, “ History will
cullthc Emperor to a strict account for
llnvulg mode war on false psetensions
and “smile meek and selfish peace-a
peace that leaves Austria impl'egnably
fortified In Northern Italy ; that connects
00'1"“! Italy to the patronage of the
Pope, and to the constant menace of mil-
itary intervention on the part of the
Pope’s patrons and protectors, that takes
no account of the welfare of the people,
and substitutes for National Independ-
ence a Confederation under the lock and
key of austrian garrisons The Emperor
of France has sown the seeds of future
wars, and the closer we examine the pre-
tended pacification, the more futile and
iniquitous it appears.”
The London Times says that Venice
must hope that her independence will not
be a more name, and that the influence of
France and Austria united will not be
more unbearable than that 'of Austria
singly. The Romans must h0pe that the
[tails Confederacy, under the honorary
presidency of the Pope, will be nothing
like any Government they have hitherto
known. The Papal States are left as
they were, but with a master somewhat
grater than before. He is Honorary
President of the Italian Confederation,
and Gen. Gnyon holds the sword at his
side.

B- A bold attempt has been made to
break into the vault of the Housatonic
Bank, at Stockbridge, Mass. The rob-
ber worked his way under the bank,
through a hole just large enough to‘ ad-
mit his passage, which be dug from an
adjoining shed, working at night, and liv-
ing in the woods by day, praying upon
the neighboring farmers for his subsis-
tence. He had been diligently Working
at it for about three weeks, and had pro-
gressed so far that only a flat stone sepa'-
rated him from the coveted treasure.—
While working through this stone. he
broke his “bit” with which he was bor-
ing, and had recourse to a chisel and
hammer. Unfortunately for him, a bar-
ness maker had accidentally left some mo-
lasses close by the bank, and went after
it about midnight. He heard the sound
of the chisel and hammer; his curiosity
was excited, he listened; became con~
viuced that the noise came from under the
bank; aroused the cashier and others,
who went to the spot and caught the fel-
low in the act.

Destruction of an Austrian Steamboat
and Two Hundred Men.
The following is an extract from the
letter .of the Daily News’ correspondent,
dated June 21 :—
The day before yesterday one of the
Austrian steamboats which ran on the
Lake of Garda had started from the op-
posite bank with the object of reconoiter-
ing Garibaldi’s forces at Sale. As after
the action of Virle it was thought pru-
dent to strengthen the Cacciatori delle
Alpi, a Piedmontese battery was sent
there with two battalions of Fanti’s divi-
sion. They had just arrived when the
Francis Joseph steamboat was ordered
to steer to the Brescian side of the Gar-
da. She therefore steamed in that direc-
tion; but at the moment she was enter-
ing the harbor of Sale, the Piedmontese
battery opened its fire upon her. Our
guns had been so well directed that two
of their round shot soon destroyed her el-
egant stern. Of course this was ‘the sig-
nal for a hasty. retreat, but as she was
about to turn her helm a well directed
grenade fell on the middle of her deck.—
Two seconds afterwards a tremendous
explosion was heard; the grenade had
made its way into the magazine; and in
less than five minutes the Francis Joseph
was in flames. A distress signal was
hoisted, but before the Benedek could be
sent from Peschiern to help her crew, she
sunk in the midst of the lake. Not one
of the 200 men she had on board was
saved ; all of them perished, either burn-J
ed to death by the flames, or drowned in
the waters of the classic Bruncus.

eloquently he gives voice to the language
of grief in the following passage from his
last paper, “ We cannot this week fill our
usual columns ; everytime hitherto, be-
fore this, that we have sat in the old place
to the now regularly recurring duty, we
have had dear little fingers rambling
along our knees, or making stray snatch-
es at the paper. A little face, all lit
wrth happy eyes, bopeeping into ours.—
A little bead, nodding as it shook its
curls, a mock ‘ by by, papa,’ and turning
back again to the sweet childish teasing.
But now, alas, the little fingers are no
longer here. the little eyes are dim with
a dimncssthat shall never know the old
lustre again, and the little curls are you-
der, beneath that and that gleams so
greenly beneath the trees, and the glim-
mering white tombstones ”

erv Tsnrsnsxcs Movnusxr ix CALI-
PORNIA.—A novel but efi'cctive temper-
ance movement is going forward in Cali-
fornla. . It originated with five boon
companions who were on a drunk togeth-
er from Christmas to New Year’s day.—
nnd then made a pledge to abstain alto-
gether for six months. They afterwards
made the pledge permanent and admit-
ted other members. The Society took
the name of Dnshaways, and is rapidly
extending through the State. The '
pledge is confined to the simple point of
abstaining from intoxicating drinks.—
Thc organization has 600 members in
San Francisco, and the work prioceeds
very much like the old Washingtonian
movement. The drunkards are picked
up from the street, carried to the rooms
of the society, sobcred and persuaded to
sign the pledge. If they cannot come
up to the permanent pledge, they are al-
lowed to take it for six months on trial.
The San Francisco papers say the move-
ment is producinga marked effect upon
public order and morals, and that at least
$500 per day in that city alone is saved,
which was formerly wasted in liquor.

REE:— In a. Fourth of July speech, Mr
Wendell Phillips paid his respects to the
Hon. R. C. Winthmp’s recent letter to
the Hon. Hiram Ketcbum. “ I remem-
ber,” said Mr. Phillips, “ that in ‘ Hood’s
Oddities,’ there is a picture of a spoiled
child. The baby has been laid in an arm
chair, and there came in a man weighing
about three hundred pounds, with the
London Times in his hand, and he sat
upon it. When it was found to be dead,
the coroner came and said that he would
have au.inquest. ‘ I don’t see why,’ said
the mother; ‘it died a) very natural
death.’ Mr. Webster sat down upon
Mr. .Wiuthrop, and there~ he is! He
died a very natural death 1 I do not
think it worth while to hold an inquest
on him.” -

fi-A letter was mailed from Nor-
wich to Killingly, containing 8170, a
short time since, which had failed to
reach its destination, and the money had
to be sent a second time.‘ 'The depart-
ment was notified of the loss, and the
special. detective Holbrook sent. to in-
vestigate the matter; but before his ar-
rival the letter was found in the overcoat
pocket of a neighbor of the man to whom .
it. was addresudmhere it had lain nudis-
turbed. He had probably taken it from
the oflice and ' forgotten to deliver it,
though he does not reollect the circum-
stance.

IPA correspondent of the New London
Chronicle, gives the following short sketch of
Danbury, He says that the town of Danbury
is really beautiful in every respect, lying ins
valley of rolling land, surrounded by an em-
phitheatre of bills. high wooded. and, with
the exception of the hill to the southeast,also
rolling in their form. The valley is perhaps
four miles long and there broad, free from
stone, and naturally rich ; the soil reminds
one of the Connecticut valley. The place has
about seven thousand inhabitants. Danbury
Centre contains about five thousand. The
Centre is a fine and growing. place. The main
street, running north and south, is wide,level
and skirted with trees, many of which are old
and majestic. This street is surpassed by few
in the country. The place presents churches
of nearly every name. and many very fine
residences. The principal busines of the town
is but making of which about twenty thousand
a week, on an average, are turned off; or
about. a million and a quarters year. Thus
this little inland town of Connecticullcould
cover in ten yours the heads of all the males
in the United States.
