snacking Event—Suicide of a Boy.
On Friday afternoon last our community
was horrified by the announcement that a son
of Mr. James Wiseman, aged about 18, had
terminated his life by shooting himself with a
pistol. A hundred rumors gained circulation
as‘to the cause of this act of self-destruction,
but upon-careful enquiry of those supposed
to know all the facts in the case, every one of
these rumors turn out to be unfounded, and
beyond doubt he was laboring under a morbid
state of mind bordering on partial insanity-
The lad had recently returned from a voyage
to Europe, and was at work with his father
during the day, until near evening, when
throwing down his work, he went too neigh-
bor’svand borrowed a pistol, remarking that
he. wished to shoot off some powder. In a few
moments, however, the report of a pistol was
heard in the rear of the house, and the lad
Was Seem to fall. He had evidently placed
the muzzle so as to shoot himself through the
heart, but the ball after passing through the
body from the side upward, lodged in the
skin beneath the shoulder-blade, from whence
it was taken by Dr.Lynes. When first found ,he
desired to be left alone, as he wished to die,
doc. In the course of a few hours however,he
seemed to rouse up and comprehend what he
had done and was greatly distressed at the
anguish be had brought upon his friends and
the near prospect of a termination of his life
He lingered in great suffering until 6 o’clock
on Sunday morning,when he expired. Of
course a deep and wide-spread sympathy is
felt for this very worthy family, in this apall-
ing affliction, a sympathy which has gained
additional force and expression, in the fact
that, many rumors have been thoughtlessly
set afloat that the lad had committed the act
under the impulse of sudden passion upon re-
ceiving parental chastisement, &c., or wasled
to it, from unnecessary severity in the fath-
er’s government of the son, &c., all of which,
we are assured, are totally unfounded.

Pic Niels-The past week was unusually
prolific of pie nic parties to the salt water
beach . Danbury, Bethel ,Reddiug Lewisboro,
New Canaan, Wilton, Stamford and Darien,
have been largely represented at Roton Point.
'On Tuesday, the Sabbath School of our First
Congregational Society, were wafted thither
on the new Sloop, “Norwalk,” while at least
a‘llgundred wheeled vehicles bore their auti-
nlarine freight to the same locality. Our
correspondent gives a graphic description of
this, to us, most joyous congregation of lit-
tle people, we ever witnessed.

Another Fair.
The ladies connected with St. Paul’lehurch
have on dit a Fair and Festival in aid of the
South Norwalk Mission Church. As the ob-
ject will commend itself to the sympathies of
all, and the Ladies will do up their part as
it should be done, we predict a general good
lime,and a generous response their most com-
mendable efforts .

Something New and Useful.
We have seen a light and simple little con-
trivance for binding all kinds of grain, inven-
ted by Mr. W. B. Bartram, a resident of this
town,and a well known inventor, which, in
our judgment,must soon find its way into
the hands of every farmer in the country. It
is very cheap,and as it will save 100 pe‘ent.
of labor, will pay for itself in one season.—
The beauty of the thing is, that when a per-
son is once provided with them, they will last
a life time. We understand that the article
will be on exhibition at our County Fair ;-
also, that arrangements are making to ap-
point Agents for the sale of them in every
'State in the Union.

Almost an Aocident.—As the freight
train on the Danbury Road was going up on
Wednesday, and when near Winnipauk sta-
tion, a brakemau, named William Smith,
while attempting to step from one car to an-
other, was seized with a fainting turn, and
fell off, striking upon his head, and rolling
down an embankment some thirty feet. He
was somewhat bruised but is recovering, and
from present appearances will soon be able
to attend to his duties.

and Saturday, not only saturated the thirsty
earth and settled the dust, but it seems to
have floated of much of the gravel beds of our
roads, and it must require considerable time

We also observe by the Times that our old
friends, the Messrs . ANnxnws s‘ vas have
nearly completed an extensive addition to
their store of some forty feet in depth, in or-
der more fully to meet the demandsupon them
for the fill trade. The Times man further
saith that the experiment of providing in one
building every article of furniture needed in
setting up a housekeeping establishment
works admirably well,and purchasers from all
parts of the County are calling to see the
thing demonstrated.
A delicate hint is also thrown out that a.
“ new member” has recently been added to
the numerical strength of this enterprising
firm, which will no doubt create a "home
market” for some of their oscillaiing wooden
ware! Well, they are wide av'vake, go ahead
chaps, just the fellows sure to succeed in all
their undertakings.
A Fatal Accident—A few minutes after
the freight train left Danbury, on Wednesday
afternoon last, and while near a curve in
the road when a person could be seen on-
1y a short distance, the engineer saw a man
walking down the track, and immediately
blew his whistle very loud, to warn him ofhis
danger, but as hepaid no attention to it, the
engine was reversed and the brakes immedi-
ately applied, which checked the speed of
the train so suddenly as to nearly throw the
passengers out of their seats. As there was
no possibility of stopping soon enough to pre-
vent the engine hitting him, the fireman, Mr.
John Dibble, ran out on the engine near the
cow-catcher, and just as the man was strlick
and thrown upon it, caught him,and held him
from going under the wheels until the train
could be stopped. This probably saved him
from being crushed to pieces by the whole
train passing over him. It was a during feat
successfully performed, and deserves some-
thing more than a “ passing notice.” The
man was taken up, placed in a car and came
back to Danbu ry, when upon examination it
was found that one of his legs was broken
twice and that he had received some other in-
juries which were then thought would not
prove fatal, but he died 'on Friday morning.
He was recognized as a deaf and dumb man
who had but a short time before the accident
happened, inquired of several the way to Beth-
el. From papers found in atin box he had
with him, which also contained salve, and a
small quantity of money in pennies, it ap-
peared that his name was Franklin Scovill,
from North Canaan, in this State, and that he
had been a sufferer from erysipelas which had
for some length of time prevented him from
doing any hand labor. Soon after the acci-
dent measures were taken to inform his friends
and his wife arrived Friday afternoon, and
started for home with his remains on Saturday
morning.
From the facts in the case there is no reas-
on to blame any person connected with the
road for the hands on the train took all pos-
ble means to save him, and we also hear that
one of the emyloyees of the road, of whom he
inquier the way to Bethol, informed him
tiwt the train was then about starting, and
advised him to take a seat in a car, and sup-
posed that he did so, until he was brought
back.

ported on her broad decks on Tuesday morning ;
will she ever receive a more luxurious freight than
stowed away in her capacious hold.
Many bright little eyes had “ prevented the dawning
of the day” by anxious scrutiny of its foreshadowing ;
and when at length Aurora blushed rosy-red before
» their admiring gaze, how were they entranced by her
. beauty 1 There had been a hum of preparation in
. many a household,which interrupted “blue M undo)”a ’
washings with unwanted bakings ; and early on Tuesday
hosts of generous baskets, full of the fruits of loving
toil, were buried by proud fathers and smiling mothers
to Hill & Hubbell’s wharf. Soon after,a long procesSion .
of Sunday Scholars and Teachers passed down from the
Lecture Room of the First Congregationnwhm‘llh mud
then the cxulting vessel moved slowly down 0'“ WHIP
ous but graceful river, instinct with life, and waited
by the full chorus of Sunday School song from hund-
reds of warbling throats. After the voyage had been
spiced by the variety of a. gentle adventure with the
green meadow opposite Oyster Shell Point,and a lllflyful
push at aSouth Norwalk pile of lumber, the fresheuiug
sea breezes gave their cooling and refreshing welcome
to their own favorite haunts, the famous and beautiful
Norwalk Islands, and swiftly bore us past their fairy
banks and bays to the quiet anchorage in the “desired
haven” off Roton Point. Soon all were disembarked in
safety, and then the spacious grove, the pebbly beach,
and hoary rocks of this glorious retreat rosouuded with
the shouts of boys,and merry laugh of girls, “let loose
from school,”... while careful but cheerful Martllns
spread their white cloths on the long tables under the
trees, and load them with all manner of good thing?-
Now the signal is given, and how quickly do number-
less biscuits and sandwiches, and all loaves of cakes,
frosted and fruited, and luscious pears and Seymour
blackberries, and a score of gallons of D’Artois Cream,
and a bushel of Campbell mottoes, and all the rlcelcras
melt away before the sharp attack of appetites wiletted
by sea air !- Again the signal is given, and now the
children are addressed in simple and unpremeditafed
words of pleasant ccugratulation by a friend of Sunday
Schools, who concludes his address by reminding them
and toil had been made by their friends to provide this
excursion and entertainment ; and appeals to them to
testify that enjoyment and their gratitude by a free-
will thank-offering to send a Suxnax Scaoor. manner
to some western children who are not favored with their
Sunday School blessings and privileges. The appeal
meets a prompt and generous response, the hat is
passed, and the amount is secured.
We commend this practical wposilion of the Sunday
School text, “ Freely ye have received, freely give,” to
all Sunday Schools enjoying their annual Excursions.
Don’t forget to provide for some destitute School the
Plcxlc LIBRARY l .
After a brief interval,the honored and beloved pastor
of the Church delivers a pithy address on Education,
showing how important an ally to the intellectual and
moral is that part of it which is physical. Then the
company disperse for a season, the elders to their so-
cial groups, and the juniors to their sports, some sail~
ing and rowing, some running and shell-gathering. In
the meantime the tables are stripped, the fragments
gathered up, (more than twelve baskets full,) in the
disposition of which the poor are remembered ; and so
at a seasonable ll our the company is rel-embarked, the
propitious sea-breezes again swell the sails, and on the
bosom of the flowing tide the swan-like vessel moves
swiftly to her fuir haven, the songs of the Sunday
School pelll out “ Homeward Bound,” and other swcct'
juvenile harmonies ; three hearty cheers are given for
the Excursion, and three more for the Superintendent ;
and so, before the sun has sunk to his rest, the wharf
is reached, loving hearts of parents cluster around them
each their home«treasures ; and the happy company
separate with pleasant farewells, “ What a delightful
day we have spent 1” “Not one untoward event to
mar its pleasure l”
The thanks of the School are due to .the kind, liberal,
and pains-taking friends who planned the Excurslon,
and whose unwearied efforts achieved its succesw.
We rejoice to know that the School was never more
numerous, more efficient, more useful. Let all sec to if
lhal this memorable day be so imposed and followed up
as to promote the highest interests of the School. B.

Muffins. EDITORS :—--Since my last communication the
influx of visitors here has been unparalleled in the an -
nah-l of Saratoga invasions, and were it not for the mar--
vellous expansive powers of the place before alludcdbo
it most surely would burst,as it isllowcver,tllcy manage
to stow away all that come, crillolino and all !
The rush to the Congress Spring, from seven to eight
in the morning is tremendous, and the water is so diffi
cult to obtain at that hour, that our “ seven gallon”
friends are unable to get their morning quota, (three
gallons) in time for breakfast ; consequently they have
been compelled to take the advice of Dolor Nichols, and
mix a spoonful of glaublersalt in each office first dozen
tumblers of water they drink to keep them on the frock !
The amusements for visitors here are the same as for
years past only more so, and may be classed in the fol-
lowing order—Drluking Spring water, Eating, Dressmg
Hopping, Flirting, Driving and riding, besides miner
ones too numerous to mention. 0f the water drinking,
enough has already been said, as to “ eating” either
the effect of the wutor or climate, give the visitors of
Snratoga keen appetite, and the way they eat is o. co}!-
tion to young chickens and the Landlords pockets.—
Most of guests accept the first few plates of food, as
samples, and hurry up their orders as if eating was
their trade and one too, well learnt. In regard to
“ dressing” we shall only refer.to the Indies, and all
will admit that they are in these days, extremely large
subjects to get around. The crilloline Jlere is of the
largest possible dimensions, and dresses of all colors,
styles and q alities are lluug over them, some with
twenty story flounces, others, with furbelows of all im~
ugimlble shapes and forms, and no lady can pass muster
unless she ‘ brings ten trunks and fifty dresses. The
younger portion of the ladies appear to have left th cir
“ Bonnets” at home, whlle some of the older ones are
crownedfiitll small Bloomers, producing an effect which
needs to be seen, to be properly appreciated 1
Next comes the “ Hop,” and the very thought of
them, brings perspiration to our brow. Just imagine
a room packed six deep on sides and ends, leaving but
asmall space for dancing with the thermometer at 80
out of doors and 180 In the par lor and you can readily
imagine the exquisite pleasure of a Saratogs imp in
dog days. The ‘- turnouts” here are numerous and of
the very best kind and are enjoyed by those owning or
hiring them hugely—as to riding we have seen several
of both sexes riding while here, some of the ladies sit-
ting and managing their horses very gracefully—while
some of the other sex, are either novlccs in the art or
their saddles are made of India Rubber; as for flirtatious,
they are one of the features of the place and appear to
be enjoyed by great numbers though as a general rule
they dont amount to much in the way of match making

MANIFESTO or MAZ7.INl.—-Mazzini has
declared himself on the peace of Villa
Frauca. We find in the New York Tri-
bune a translation of his address. Nat-
urally, it is strong and bitter in denunci-
ation of the Emperor, whom. he never
trusted, but who, he says, has exceeded
all that he had feared of him in the way
of treachery. He speaks of the insulting
manner in which the rights of the people
have been ignored by Louis Napoleon,
and of the insolent ipdilfcrencc with which
he has treated Victor Emanuel, and
says :—
“ The proper course. for King Emman-
uel was not to lower himself by styling-
Bouuparte (whom he hates) valiant and
maguanimous, he should have said, ‘ I re-
fuse to accept from you the lnsultlug ces-
sion of territory whiCh is not yours ; I
will only receive it from the afl'ectlon and
free gift of the citizens, and I will ment
it by keeping faith with Italy, 111 whose
name I took the field, and of whose hon-
or I am, in presence of you and Europe,
the representatives. It may please you
to break your engagements ; I, however,
keep mine, and I will continue the con-
test so long as my brother Itahans‘maul-
tain their promises.’ It was his propel-
course to have said to Italy, ‘ I had 200,-
000 soldiers from my ally, who bound
me to a false policy, which I should not
follow, for he represented despotlsm,whllc
vie represent right and liberty. It now
pleases this ally to abandon us. We have
no motive for sorrow since through thls
abandonment the sacred cause .of the na-
tion will become more brilliant In all that
regards justice and truth. I ask, howev-
er, of the 26,000,000 which compose the
nation another 200,000 men. If the na-
tion gives them, we shall conquer ; 0th:
crwise I will die on the field of battle,
uncontaminated by falsehood and mean
ambition, protesting in the name of eter-
nal right and love of country.’ If the
King had spoken out in this manner, all
of us republicans or not, would have has-
:l-lc l‘ in .:~...,

I
”inch . ,, . . .-.. my
bruins; .W'I". chi-v arm"- nth
sacrifice—neither hon. .2 -..»~ Mom -
9. Pope, can Italy hepe for salvation.”
Witll little expectation of being listen-
ed to, he gives his views of the duty of
the Italian people, which he says is to re-
sist with or without the hope of victory,
to rise in revolt all over the peninsula, to
proclaim “ Liberty and National Unity,”
and to fight as long as there is amun
left to hold a rifle. He concludes as fol-
lows :— ‘.
“The timid and cowardly will start as
an objection, the possible league between
Austria and Imperial France. \
It is time that the timid and cowardly
be deprived of the right to council Ital-
ians ; suffice it that their advice has al-
ready twice druggcd the Italian cause to
its ruin. Many more are the reasons
which should determine the Italians to
undertake the protest by action. \ Were
there none other this single one would be
sufficient. Oblige Louis Napoleon com-
pletely to unmask himself and to descent]
another step ill the road of infamy and
treason by fighting by the side of Austria.
Europe is tired of Bonapartism But
one more drdp is wanted to make the cup
overflow, and this drop be it even blood
let Italy twice betrayed by him, contrib-
ute.
Little indeed is needed to induce Eng-
land and Germany to come into the field
and say to the despot, ‘ not another step
further.’ The engagement with Austria
has revealed to those powers the real
project of the European coup (Patel, and
material interests unite with principles to
excite resistance. Terrible symptoms of
agitation manifest themselves in Paris
since the peace. Even the army will be-
come tired of being the butcherer of Lib-
erty -, and when Bonaparte should inti-
mate to his generals .1 a sudden to fight
those populations which the day previous
had embraced them as their liberators,
many might imitate the noble example of
Gen. De Luz. The Swiss by thousands
quit the kingdom of Naples. Hungary
is ready to act, and one shout truly Ital-
ian will bring her into the field. The
movement of Hungary would find an
echo in Poland. It depends on us, I
say it with certainty of truth, to recom-
mellce 1848 on a broader and more solid
basis.
As to the rest let the Italians perform
their duty, come what may. Better die
than be contaminated. Better succomb
before brute force, protesting to God and
man that we are of a better destiny——
that we do not merit the name of child-
ish people subservient to foreign rule.—
Let him who believes in this set zealous-
ly to work and regard nothing else. God
will take care of him.”

Elonr CHILDREN AT A Burma—A cor-
respondent of the N. Y. Tribune, under
date of Johnson, Trumbull 00., August
4, 1859, writes :
“- 0n the 2nd of August, Mrs. Timo-
thy-Bradley gave birth to eight children
;—tllree boys and five girls. They are
all living and healthy, but quite small.—
Mr. B’s. family is increasing lost. He
was married six years ago to Eunice
MOWery, who weighed 273 on the day of
their marriage. She has given birth to
two pair of twins, and now eight more,
making in all twelve children ill six years.
It seems strange, but nevertheless true,
Mrs. B. was a twin of three, her mother
and father. both being twins, and her
grandmother the mother of five pair
of twins. Mrs. B. has named her boys
after noth and distinguished men. One
after tllc Hon. Joshua R. Giddiugs, who
has given her a splendid gold medal, one
after the Hon. John Cilamplill, who gave
her 50 acres of land, and the other af-
ter James Johnson, Esq, who gave her
a cow. Mr. B. snysi is profitable to
have twins, as the neigbors have cloth-
ed the others ever since they were born.
Mr. B. is a poor, industrious laborer, but
says he will not part with any of his chil-
dren while he is able to work.

Murder ReWarded in Kansas. 1
(From the Report of the Kansas Legislative Commit-
tee )
Although not within our province, we
may be excused for stating that from the
most reliable information that We have
been able to gather, by the recent war.
fare of the gucrilla system, and ill well-
kllown encounters, the number of lives
sacrificed in Kansas, during the pencil,
meuti lied, probably exceeded rather ,
than fell short of two hundred 1 Many
affairs ill which life was sacrificed (on
either side) were kept secret, and the%
particulars are known only to the pnrtlc 1,
ipants. The gucrillas, from motives of ‘,
policy, seldom made known the result of i
their operations. But the number of'
missing persons, and the letters ofinquiry
for individuals addressed so frequently
from all parts of the Union to citizens of
Kansas have a meaning alld significance
not to be mistaken.
The history of Kansas is not simply a
history of outrage and wrong. It is a
history of Executive combination with
lawless rnfliuns, and cold-bloodcd' mur-
derers. Ill other countries and ill other
times, assassins and assassinations have
been recognized as essential to the tri-
umph of despotism or usurpation. And,
occasionally, assassins have had position
and possessions conferred upon them as
the reward of their labors. But these
things have been hitherto identified with
the lawlessness of the darl. ages, or the
sans cullottelsm of the French Revolu-
tion. It remained for the present day
and the present Democratic Administra-
tiOn to revive the terrorism of the past,
and openly reward assassination. The
history of Kansas reveals these facts :
S. W. Clark murdered u. man named
Barber by shooting him in the back.—
For this practical illustration of modern
Democracy, he was made a Pnrscrin the

is then passed from the system, thus pre-
venting favors, the prevailing diseases of
summer. All fevers are “ billions,” that
is, the bile is in the blood. Whatever is
antagonistic to fever is “ cooling.” It is
a common saying that fruits are cooling,
and also berries of every description, it is
because the acidity which they contain
all! In. separating the bile from the blood,
that is aids ill purifying the blood.—
Hence the great yearning for greens and
lettuce, and salads in the early spring,
these being eaten with vinegar ; hence
also the taste for smut-thing sour, for lem-
onndcs, on or. attack of fever. But this
being the case, it is easy to see that we
nullify the good effects of fruits and her-
ries in pr0portion as we eat them with
sugar, or even sweet milk and cream...
If we eat them in their natural state,
fresh, ripe, perfect, itls almost impossible
to eat too many, or to eat enough to hurt
us, especially if we eat them alone, not,
taking any liquid with them whatever.—
Hence also buttermilk or even common
sour milk is promotlve of health in the
summer time. Swaet milk tends to bil-
lionsness in sedentary people, sour milk is
antagonistic. The Greeks and Turks are
passionately fond of sour milk. The
shepherds use renuet,aud the milk dealers
alum to make it sour the sooner. But-
termilk acts like watermelon on the sys-
tem.—-Ilull’s Journal of Health.
