Borough Matters.
At the Borough - meeting held on Friday,
last, the proposition for Street Lamps was
voted down and the resolution appropriating
$1,500 for a new engine carried! We should
feel an incxpressible consolation -in knowing
that we had the best equipped fire depart-
ment of any town of equal size in the State,
but as the finances of the Borough now stand,
and the other Machine not yet being paid for,-
we fear the tax-payers will begin to feel that
we are rather . “ crowding the mourners" on
village reforms and improvements. Itbeems
- to us that this enterprise should be preceded
by the immediate erection of as many as three
copious water reservoirs._ One say in the
square in front of :the 'zenm Bottoms,
which could beenily supplied from the roofs l
0f Lynea’ Block and our edifice; another at
the bend in Main-st, in front of the Gould
Jennings place, which'could be supplied from
the adjoining buildings; the other in the"
space in front of’C. & E. K. Lockwood’s
store, which wOuld be abundantly supplied.
from their store, Col. ,- Lockwood’s. new buil-
ding, the Conn. Hotel,&c. These reservoirs,
in case of a conflagration in any quarter of
the business part of the Bridge, would be
convenient of access and available. In fact,
would not a pradenld’oresight sea- to dictate
that these reservoirs'be constructed at once,
though a new enginewerqnot purchased the
present year. We presume all are agreed
that as soonasthe finances of the Borough
will warrant, a new machine should be ob-_
tained. What say you, ye fathers and tax-
payers of the Borough ? ,

One of those ram and) of the water, rather
than the air, for which the great showman
offers 825 per pound, was caught by a guest
of the Allis House a few days since. It was
as noble a specimen of the brook trout as we
ever saw, weighing plump 3 lbs. and 2 ozs !

nal adjustment for the palates of his captors, '
and a more savory dish we don’t believe has
very lately eminated even from that celebra-
ted locality of delicacies. Several others of
’a smaller size, we believe, were taken at the
same time. Henccforth trout fishing may be
added to the innumerable attractions of the
Allis House, as a place of Slimmer resort, as
our streamsare nearly all well stocked with
them.

U. 8. Senator.
Our State‘Legislature did a good work on
Thursday last, by thus early in the session
re-electing Hon. La Fayette S. Foster to the
U. S. Senate. The Democrats tried. to slave
of: the election a spell so as to have time to
work against him, but they did not succeed.
At the Republimn caucus on Wednesday
evening, Mr. Foster received 124 votes out of
138. '
The Democrats on the same evening nom-
inatedWm. Eaton of. Hartford, as their can-
didate, of which the New Haven Journal
says: , , ' . ‘ ' ‘ ’ _
Mr. Eaton appeared before the caucus and
made a speech thanking it for its nomination,
and then attacking Douglas in strong terms
- as an unavailable‘and unfit candidate for» the
Presidency.‘ He said he should support him
if nominated, but wanted thecaucus to know
his views so that it might reconsider his nom-
ination if ‘it 'did‘ not agree with him. , .
We would call the attention of those inter—
ested inroofing, either as regards new build-
ings or repairing of old, to the adv. of Mr.

Though the weather was threatening, yet a
good assemblage of citizens were on the spot
to witness the ceremony. When the pro-
cession had reached the angle of the lot
where the corner-stone was to be laid, imme~
before the ceremony of laying the stone, '5

We learn that Trinity Chapel is to be used
for a" Mission of St. Paul’s Church until a
congregation shall be there collected self-sus-
taining, when the property will be made over
to them. We learn that by the voluntary
contributions of its members, the. Parish has
bought and paid ,. for the lot, on a portion of
which the Chapel is to be built, and that it is
their intention in the same manner, by free-
will offerings, to pay for tho - building when
erected and completed. The liberality of the
Episcopalians in this matter is worthy of all
praise. , We rejoice'at every _ efi‘ort‘made in

therefore wish that complete success may at-

Was Ho a Gentleman ‘?
We were an eye witness to a scene on the
cars the other day which, while it evinced
the. fact that Railroad Conductors are not at
ways in the wrong, where difficulties oc-
cur with passengers, at the same time illus-
trates the truth of the old maxim that every
man is 'not a gentleman because he is dressed
like. one. We were on the 11 A. M. train, to
N. Y., when a well-dressed man, said to have
been a boss-carpenter named Tyler, and a
resident of Port Chester, got on the platform
Of the last occupied car at Stamford. When
Conductor Stock with his accustomed good
nature, called upon the “outsider” for his
fare, he was bluntly told, “he should pay no
fare so long as an empty car on behind rc--
mained locked.” The Conductor informed
him of the fact, that quite, a number of seats
were unoccupied, which he could appropriate
if he would step inside, but all to no use. The
car must be unlocked or he should pay no
fare. The Conductor infomed him that he
should be obliged to put him Off, whereupon
the well-dressed man put himself upon his
dignity—then a la Heenan. The car door
being open, the passengers were witness to
the parley, and we doubt if there was a per-
son on board who did not feel a sense of
shame for his species at seeing any one look-
ing so much like a gentleman acting so much
like a hog, for no other apparent purpose
than that of shirking the payment of the few
pennies fare from Stamford to Port Chester.
Very deliberately, and with almost taItali-
zing coolness and self possession, the Con-
ductor stopped the train and helped his refraC'
tory guest Off the car. On striking tel-m fir-
ma, he also launched a tremendous blow upon
the nasal protuberance 0f the Conductor,
which “tapped the claret.” Here it is, that
we wish to make honorable mention of what
has caused us to notice so apparently trivial a
tingly in the wrong and had struck the Con--
ductor a cruel blow for no other cause than
doing his duty. He was evidently quite in-
ferior to the Conductor in physical strength,
yet neither would the Conductor strike back,
or let his ‘brakcmen harm him, very much to
their apparent chagrin. Such stoical control
of one‘s temper was something new to us,
and in our amazement, and we must add,
'admiration, we interrogated him for an ex-
planation of such forbearance. He replied
that “when on duty he never allowod himself 1
‘tto strike a man, no matter how great the'
provOcation.” We could not help thinking
that if every railroad employee had as com-
plete mastery over his temper as “Jack Stock"
evinced on this occasion, the pockets of the
poor stockholders would not be so often dip-
ped into to pay for the consequences of their
passion and rasbness. We had a lurking
suspicion, however, that Stock felt, after all
something as did the valiant Westefn preach-
‘er, who had been terribly “riled," when re-
flecting upon the enormity Of the insult he
had passed over without retaliation, remark-
ed, “ He ', believed after all, that he should
feel glad had he fallen from grace just long
enough to have given the brother such a lick-
ing as he deserved." ’

Murder Rewarded.
The appointment of Calhoun Benham to
the office of District Attorney for California
is, says the Tribune, one of those acts which
pass belief, whether regarded as evidence of
utter f'atuity or of .a cool contempt for all dc-
cent public opinion. It is an act which even
the worst enemy of Mr. Buchanan would
not have dared ask him to do, desiring to
hasten him to his ruin. It is not incompre-
hensible that a man simply destitute of abili-
ty, Wanting in every qualification for a cer-
tain office, should be put in that very place
by the President on the first opportunity; but
that a man who had been conspicuouslybc-
fore the country as a breaker Of tliolaw, and
accessoryto a-murderwliose details he had
assisted to arrange, should be selected for a
position the first duty connected with which
is to punish the offending and to keep a vigi-

the late improvements in her construction
and equipments. She-is as stiff and strong
as if she were entirely new, having: been
newly plunked and furnished with an extra
framework, which effectually prevents all
springing or working of her timbers. The
boiler is entirely new, carries easily 25 lbs. of
steam and is capable of 40. The steadiness
and ease of her motion command the admira-
tion of every One - who is accustomed to
Steamboat travel. And the speed is fully
equal to all ordinary necessities, If the
landiiiga at City Island, and Whitestone could
be dispensed with, three hours would be am-
ple time for a passage from dock to dock—*-

commodation in this way, and a liberal pat.
ronage from the citizens generally, will ena-
ble him to work out results beneficial both to
himself and the community. The business is
already worth twice as much as it was a year
ago. All tliatis wanting is-a little more time
on some of the outstanding paper, and a little
more of the prompt and zealous patronage
which a portion of our citizens have always

Massas. EDITORS :—Will you allow me
the privilege of grumbling through your col-
umns at the New York & New Haven Rail-
road. I do not care cxeedingly if the grum-
ble be considered a grow]. This Railroad
Co. always noted for their liberality and the
politeness of all connected with it—have just
added another to their list of kind deeds—by
making the afternoon train from New Haven
passDaricn and Rye without stopping.
‘As this train has always been as well pat-
ronized at this station as almost any other :—
as it was well patronized here as at half the
other'stations on the route : and as this train
afi‘ordsptlie only direct means of reaching this
stationvfrom New Haven after 10 070015 A. M
—it wOuld seem as though some extra ad-
vantages were to be gained by the present
change. No advantages can be gained un-
less they be either a gain of time or a gain of
money. That it is not a gain in time is shown
by the fact that the train reaches New York
at precisely the some time as when it stopped
here. That it is not a gain in money, is evi-
dent from the fact that it is a loss in patron-
age. Now, there are many persons here
who are greatly incommoded—aud unneces-
sarily so—by this uncalled-for change. The
New Canaan passengers—nearly all—come ,
to this depOt, and by the present. arrange-
ment, they are compelled to go farther and
pay more; having to go either to Stamford
or Norwalk. The inhabitants of Dorian must.
either go at half-past three, or wait until the
next morning; and persons wishing to come
here frOm New Haven, must either take the
10 O‘clock morning train—0r, come by the
Express from New Haven and change cars at
Norwalk,——tllus giving them extra trouble,
extra cost, and a loss of time.
The only reason offered for this change, is,
that in consequence of some arrangement:
with the Shore Line 00., this train must be
an Express. And it is thus an Eoprm by
omitting t’wo stations without gaining a sec-
ond in time ! Now if passing two stations
constitutes an Express, why can it not just as
well be called an Express in consideration Of
its passing Lockwood's Corner and Coscob—
two unimportant stations? Why must the
people of Daricn, and New Canaan, and Rye,
be so incommoded, merely for a quibble about
a word? Perhaps some of yourrcaders post-
ed in Railroad logic can explan it.
Yours,
Darien, Apr. 251b, $60.

/" Death of "Peter Parley"
’ The New York papers announce the death
in that city of Samuel G. Goodrich, better
known as ‘ eter Parley." He was born in
Ridgefield, this State 011 the 19th of August
1795, and was therefore nearly sixty-seven
years old. His father, Rev. Samuel Goodrich
was minister of the ’First Con i'egational
church in that place. In 1811 at er having
been clerk for a brotlier—in-law iii Danbnry a
few years, 11c removed to Hartford and enter-
ed business. In 1827 he commenced his long
meditated attempt of writing books for chil-
dren. The first bore the title Of the “ Tales
of Peter Parley about America," and was
published anonymously; it was received with
favor and was followed bv others, but it was
not until 1830tl1i1t the author became known.
From that time until his death he was almost
constantly engaged in literary labors, and has
probably done as much or more than any
other man to interest and instruct the young.
In 1856 he stated that he was before the
public as the author and editor of about one
hundred and seventy volumes,—one hundred
and sixteen bearing the name of “ Peter Par-
ley." Of those about seven millions bad then
been sold, and about three hundred thousand
were sold annually. Since that time several
popular works have been added to his list.—
n 1851 he was appointed American consul
at Paris and resided abroad several years.—
His death will be deeply regretted.

liominy as is freely accorded to chattels in the
patriarchiil State of South Carolina—resolveil

tlic'steamship S. R. Spaulding, of and from
Boston, whence she was about to return l'ICIl-
ly fi-eighted with New- England Delegates to
the late Democratc National Convention !—
Wc had already heard of jumping “out of the
frying-pan “into the fire,” and all manner Of
kindred fatuities; but to 'attempt to escape
from slavery by hiding in a vessel whereof
Ben. Hallctt and Caleb Cushing had virtual
dommand, goes ahead of any absurdity with-
in our knowledge. Of course, this fugacious
mass of constitutional property was seized so
soon as he was driven- from his hiding-place
by hunger; the vessel’s course altered, a south-
ward-steering vessel thereby intercepted the
negro put aboard of her,.and returned to’Bal-
timore,whence he promptly was forwarded,,at
Charleston. If that negro should ever again
be caught aboard of .a vessel chartered by a
re 'ment of Democratic office holders grid
0 ce-seekers, in the hope of thus escaping
slavery, he will deserve for his stupidity afar
severer flogging than his master has now in
store for him—NZ ‘1’. Tribune.

that theS.’ R,‘ Spaulding went tolCharleston

now looks as i it was a well organized expe-

CONGRESS.
MONDAY, 7th.—The Senate, replenished by.
the returning members from Charleston, ex-
hibited more life. Mr. Doolittle of Wis. pre-
sented resolutions of the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture, in favor of the Homestead bill. Jeff.
Davis’s resolutions were then taken up, and
.Mr. Davis led off in along and fiery speech
'in favor of the Slave Code, and endorsed the
secession of the Slave States from the
Charleston Convention. His colleague, Mr.
Brown, made some explanations, after which,
Mr. Clingman' replied to Mr. Davis.
In the House, -Mr. Burlingame’s bill au-
thorizing the President to appoint a full Mill-
istcr to Sardinia at a salary of $12,000, with
a Secretary of Legation at .a salary of $1800
per annum, passed without debate. House
went into Com. of the Whole. Messrs. Sher-
man, Grow,.Blair, and others spoke‘ in favor
of the Tariff bill—Mr; Sherman alluded to .it
as a financial measure in aid of the exhausted
1home industry. It was no rt nieasure,.bnt-
in much the same‘track. ' The vote. will prob;
ably be taken on Wednesday the 9th. ~
Tunsoav.—-In the Senate several impor-
Clingmanfinished his speech,»
previous—in which he introduce the doings
at the Charleston COnvention; Mr. C. spoke
for the Douglas side, and contended for the .
non-intervention . platform, repudiating the
secession test. Mr. Benjamin took the other
tack, and came down on the North Caroli-
nian, and endorsed the seceders. Subse-
quently Messrs. Davis and 'Douglas had a
tilt, and sharp hits were exchanged- Mr.
Benjamin admitted that the Cincinnati Plat- -
form was purposely so constructed as to have
two interpretations, one Southern, the other
Northern. ,
In the House, the Tariff bill was discussed

began . the day
WEDanoxv.—Both Houses of Congress
sat till a late hour yesterday. In the Senate,
an animated struggle too place upon the
Homestead bill ; ”-in the House, upon the Tar-
iff. The opponents of the Homestead bill rc-
sorted to every cticable device to prevent
a vote upon it, a (I finally succeeded in ad- -
journing before it had been decisively acted
upon. The resistance to the Tariff in the
House was less envenomed, but was also
marked by peculiar features.
Trmnsvav.——In the Senate, the Senate’s
Homestead bill was passed by a'votc of 44 to
8, after Mr. Wilkinson’s amendment, which:
putvpre-emptors of five years on the same-
f‘ooting with settlers who shall hereafter set-
tle on the public lands, was rejected by Dem-
ocratic votes. Mr. Wade renewed his mo-
tion to substitute tbcHouse bill, but it was
rejected. - -
In the House, the Tariff Billof Mr. Morrill
was passed by 41 majority. All sorts of fill-
biistcring, was employed to prevent this re-
sult, but in vain. '
Fromm—Little was done in tlicScnatc ex-
cept to debate the question Ofadjournment to
Wednesday and to come to the sensible con-
clusion that the members had better remain
at their posts and attend to their business—'—
Mr. Hale made a characteristic speech, and
offer-cdl congratulations for the good work
done at Charleston.
In the House, the bills organizing five new
Territories, in some of which organization is
imperatively needed, reported by Mr. Grow
from the Territorial Committee, were succes-
sively tabled by Democratic votes; apparently
udder the lead of Mr. Thayer of Massacliustts
a Republican.

I
been called to go through the foriliiilities
in question, we take pleasure in saying
that it is entitled to all the credit Of a
smooth and successful debut.
The National Union party have nomin-
«fed for President JOHN BELL of Tennes-
see, and for Vice President Emvho iv-
nnsr? of. Massachusetts. Their platform
is as follows, brief if not expressive :
Whereas, Experiencs has demonstrated that
all platforms adopted by political rties have
the effect to mislead and cause po itical divis-
ion; by encouraging geographical and section-
al parties; therefore, -
‘- Resolved, That both patriotism and. duty
require that we should recognize no policy or
principles, but those resting on the broad
foundation of the Constitution of the coun-
er, the Union of the States, andthe enforce-
ment of the laws, and that as the representa-
tives of the Constitutional Union party acd of
the Count , we pledge ourselves to maintain,
rotect an defend these principles, thus af-
fording security at Home and abroad, and se-
curing the blessings of liberty to ourselves
' and posterity.”
. JOHN BELL of Tennessee was born near
Nashville, in February, 1797, and is now
therefore, in the sixty-fourth year of his“:-
‘age. 'He entered political life‘ when Only
twenty years old as a member of the Leg-
islature of his native State, but retired,
‘after serving a single session, and for the
next nine'years devoted himself to the
practice of his profession—the law. In
1827, was elected to Congress in Opposi-
tion to Felix Grundy, and continued a
member of that body for fourteen succes-
sive years. He was in those days a Free
trader, and so late as 1832 made a speech
against the Protective system. He sub-
sequently changed his views upon that
subject, and has ever since been advocate
of Protection. In his early political ca-
reer, Mr. Bell was ‘a member of the
Democratic party, but a difference arose
betWeeii him and his friends on the ques-
tion of the United States Bank. He 0p-
posed lllc removal of the deposits, and
the breach thus made between him and
Gen. Jackson was widened when he was
chosen Speaker of the Home in 1.834 in
opposition to James K. Polk, who was
the Jackson candidate, and madeirrecon-
cilable a year later, when Mr. Bell advo-
cated the election of Judge White lothe
Presidency, in preference to that of Mr.
Van Buren. From that time he was a
member of the Whig party a: long as
that party had an existence. The career
of the new candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency is so well known that it is hardly
necessary to recapitulate its details.

A TERRIBLE Currant—The telegraph
announced a few days ago the drowning cf
29 persons, mostly young ladies, who were
participating inapic-nic party at B0 kin’s
Mill Pond, near Camden, South Carolina.—
At first wa believed it to be a hoax, but it is
alas, too true. The Sumter Watchman gives
the particulars of this sad affair:
“ A flat boat of Considerable sizeghad
a short time previous been built and
placed upon the pond for purposes of
pleasure. A goodly number (probably
80 or more)of the company embarked
upon this boat, intending to cross ovrr
and around the pond. These consisted
chiefly of young ladies, there being a suf-
ficient number of gentleman, as was sup-
posed, to manage the boat and ._afford
company and protectionto the ladies.—
rThey had been out some time, and ‘were'
near the center 'of the pond when the
boat ran on a snag. This excited little
tor no fears, as it was supposed that a
speedy extrication could be effected.
' Soon it was perceived that the great
pressure of'tbe boat upon the snag, (in
consequence of the number it contained)
was puncturing its bottom, and that the
water wasmaking its way inside. Now
the tender and timid ladies .called upon
their protectors for that assistance and
deliverance which, painful to say, they
were unable to afford, Momentarily the
danger became greater, and momentarily
the excitement of those on board, as well
as those on shore, became more’ intense.
It seems that deliverance would have come
and that the boat would have probably
been pushed off and run near enough to
the slior'e for many, if not all, to have es-
caped, had it' not been that tboSe who
stood at each end (a white man and a
negro,) with their poles, laboring with all
their power, shoved each in the same di-
rection,-.tlms mutually destroying the ef-
fect of their efforts.
Soon, in ii few moments, she began to
.sink. When this was seen and the fact
that she could not be moved became ap-
- parent the scene became frightful indeed.
The wildcat excitement in fear seemed to
seize every heart, and but few, if any,
were sufficiently collected to enable them
to (~1an )y their efforts for rescue advan-
tageously. In a few moments more she
sank, when the scene may he better iin~
aginud ill in described. Piercing cries,
and shrieks, and calls for help, both from
those on shoreand those on the unfortu-
nate boat, filled the air. Oh, how ruddy
were those confiding hearts torn cascade:
and lavished with wild ariducbing- ;_"“-

DR. HANSON ’S VEGETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS
ILL break up colds at once, without sweating, di-
, eting, interruption of business, or the use of hot,
stimulating, and burning compounds, herb, teas, can-
dies, balsams, or any other disagreeable inconvenient
and nauseating doses ; they do not cause the least un-
pleasa nt symptoms—even if taken in large doses, they
create- only a. thirst, which being alloyed with water,
an agreeable warmth and moisture at tho surfn ce is
soon experienced. When taken as directed, they break
up the cold and arrest effects= and the only operation
perceived is a mysterious and unaccountable disap-
pearance of all symptoms, as feveriahness, chills,lame-
ness, darting pains, dull heavy pains, tightness of the
chest, hoarseness, cough, sore throat, croup, calarrh,
headache, to.
THE VEGETABLE CHEMICAL POWDERS are to colds
what Vaccination is against Small Fox and Quininofor
Agiie. They area specific remedy for the prevention
and ctire of a specific disease. And by breaking colds
with them the system is not weakened and deranged
and rendered more subject to repeated attacks, but is
rather strengthened and fortified against them. They
arrest croup instantly and permanently, and by their
timely use, coughs, catarrh, bronchitis. fevers, rheu-
matism, sore throats, consumption, and all diseases
primarily excited by colds, can be banished from
among the people.
