Mr
L .
N. Y. & N. H. Railroad.
Asitis now the seasonffor the Summer
tithe-table of this Road to be made uPtWe
- would most respectfully suggest and urge
upon Superintendent Hoyt the propriety of
‘ ' making several changes for the accommoda-
'-,, .tion and benefit of the public. The first is
' the making of the 7.00 A. M. train from New
' Haven, an Express train from Norwalk or
Stamford, as recently urged by a correspon-
'_; dent intheN. Y. Times. The next, and
Aeneof much importance to Norwalk, is hav-~
‘ -’ ing the 8.00_A.M Express from New .York,
" ’ stop atNorwalk Station. This is~ a matter
I of someimportancetous, as many business
men who want to run out of the city to
' ' transact business here and return the same
day have no proper facilities for so doing, as
the accommodation train leaves New York
at 7 o’clock, which is too early an hour for
them to make preparations and get up town,
and none other until 2 o’clock. It is true,
the Express stops at Nerwalk Draw,but Tick-
ets will not be sold at any station for
Norwalk by that train, and all who take
. passage expecting to jump off at the draw
have to pay fare through to Bridgeport,
which is not fair or right. Why cannot the
Train stop at the Station regularly 2 by law
it has to stop before reaching the Bridge,
and a stoppage at the Station would answer
the same purpose and not make over three
minutes longer detention than‘ at present.
Norwalk is one of the most important Sta-
tions on the Road, and ought to have all the
benefits and all facilities to be derived there-
from. _
We understand that a Petition is to be pre.
sented from our citizens asking that said
train may, when the summer arrangements
,are made, stop at Norwalk; we trust that
their petition will be granted. '

The Election Parade.
The parade in New Haven, on Wednes-
day on the occasion of the inauguration of
Gov. Buckingham, promises to be one of un-
usual splendor. Our two Norwalk compa-
panies, have accepted invitations to be pres-
ent, and will go over in the train which
leaves South Norwalk at 9 o’clock, A. M_
The Burnside Guards, we understand, have
engaged the Wheeler & Wilson Band to ac-
company them. The Norwalk Guards will
- take their drum corps. It is hoped that eve-
ry member, of both companies, who can pos-
sibly do so, will turn out on this occasion.
Supt. Hoyt, of the New Haven Railroad,hag
consented to issue excursion tickets to the.
’Military, at reasonable rates. ‘l
“ Rum and Rebellion.”
MR. S. M. HEWLETT, the popular Orator,
who has recently spoken in several places in
this vicinity, and is well known as one of
the most humorous and effective Speakers in
the country, has been engaged to deliver his

wood’s Hall, on Tuesday evening, May 10th.

. sion of his first appearance here, and may be

GREELEr’s AMERICAN Common—The
' first volume Of this work is in the hands of
d
Messrs. O. D. Case 85 00., of Hartford, and
will soon be ready for publication. In point
.' .'of typography, paper and illustrations, it is
equal if not superior to any subscription
book ever printed in this country. A second
pamphlet of specimen pages laid on our
l . table shows us two fine Virginia views, one
at Harper’s Ferry, and the other up the
Shenandoah, the latter a lovely landscape,
and portraits of the leading anti-slavery re-
formers. As a political history it is admira-
ble, clear, precise, colorless, but, from its
skillful introduction of names and crowded
incidents of the conflict, as interesting as a
drama. It is rich in information, given in a
most attractive style. For a lucid history
of any transaction, read for instance the
chapter on the annexation of Texas, or the
one on the visit of Judge Hoar ofMassachu-
sets to Charleston, S. 0., and his expulsion
therefrom.

filo the list of Patents issued for the
Week ending April 19, we find the following:
D. F. Hunt and F. S. Lyon, of South Nor-
walk, for improved Washing Machine.
We have been shown this “Washing At-
tachment,” as the inventors call it, and con-
sider-it a grand invention, and of incalculable
benefit to our overworked women. The Al-
tachment is very simple,light and small,takes
up but little room, and does not require any
mechanical ingenuity or skill to work it. It
is laid upon the top of an ordinary tub, and
consists of one large cylinder—or endless
- washboard—on which the article to be
washed is placed, when a top-piece, contain-
4 ing six small rollers, or washboards, is shut
down over the cylinder, and then the wheel
is turned backwards and forwards. It is
simply several washboards working on each
other. It is self-adjusting, and will wash the
-. thickest or thinnest cloth. It has been thor-
oughly tried by the inventors, who have
i used it in their own families, and who claim
that it does its work very thoroughly and
~ - -satisfact0rily.

The Secretary’s Policy.
It is important to know, so far as pos
sible, the future policy of the financial'
minister of the government ; and espec-
ially at this time, when, to make gam-
bling speculations profitable, an nncom
mon flood of false assertions and theories
damaging to the public credit, are boldly
circulated.
The excitements got up in Wall street
by gamblers in Stocks and Gold, are tel-
egraphed everywhere—exaggerated—aud
the outside public naturally feel that
there is some great wrong somewhere,
when, in fact, there is nothing wrong.
There is only a hullabaloo among the
bulls and bears.
Mr. Chase will press right on with the
National Ten-Forty Loan, just as he has
begun. There will be no change in the
rate of interest. He will make no tem-
porary loans of the Banks, but will take
money from the people or the ”Banks at
'five per cent. interest, payable on ten
days’ notice, as heretofore ; and he will
run the usual line of one-year Certificates.
He will sell the surplus gold from cus-
toms, aftcr setting aside an amount suf-
ficient for six months’ interest, and use
the proceeds, as the spirit and letter
of the law demands, partly in a sinking
fund, and partly for the expenses of the
Government.
He appeals afresh to the people in this
the most trying military and financial pe-
riod Of the Rebellion, to come forward
with heart and money. He is‘ reducing
the volume of currency gradu lly, and
will continue to do so. If the s ock and
gold gamblers shall again attempt the'
game they played last week. he will
bring the whole power of the Government
and its whole means, both. here and
abroad, to checkmate' them.
The Secretary of the Treasury relies
upon the People for the ways and means;
upon the,Army for victories, and upon
Congress for adequate taxation.
The people wiil come to his help with
every dollar that can be appropriated.
This is their true interest , it is their true
safety. The armies now will do their
part—there is no alternative but victory.
Congress will do its duty—it dare not fal-
ter. '
To those capitalists who complain that
Mr. Chase ought to pay. a higher rate of
interest, we say, pointedly, that a 5 per
cent. obligation against the. Amelicsn
people is better than a bond at any high- '
er rate of interest. For why ? Your
money is righteously invested, free from
exortion, generously invested for your
country’s cause, is and will be through
all time, VALID.—T/lompson's Reporter. ‘

AN OLn SE-rrLER.—-On Thursday last,
Cabt. Samuel Bunker while engaged in
fishing off the South Shore, caught a
codfish which weighed 73 pounds. The
contents of his stomach proved him to
be a regular gourmand, containing as it;
did, Two Ducks—known to the initia-
ted, as “Old Squaws,"—weighing 434
pounds—Two Flat fish and one Sculpio ;
this verifies the saying that the Big fish
eat the little ones. The ducks were
perfectly fresh when taken from the fish,
and had apparently been Jouau’d but a
short time. . '
It required something more than
“moral swasion” to induce him to leave
his native element ; a strong attachment,
the united efl'orts of two men and the use
of the gaff, were indispensable in securing
the prize. That this is a veritable fish
story, numerous persons can testify, who
saw the ducks and “small fry” on exhi-
bition in front of the Union Store, on
“ Value of Dogs.”
MEssRs. EDITORs :—
fi'om the New York Tribune with the above
caption, wherein the great loss of Sheep kill-
ed by Dogs in this country is set forth, and
suggesting a method whereby this great evil
may he stayed. It states in the same article
that a Mr. Patterson, residence not given, lost
in one night in November last, by dogs, sheep
to the amount of Three Thousand Dollars!
I noticed in some paper not long since, a re-
port made at an agricultural or other meet-
ing in Ohio, that some 36,000 Sheep were
killed in that State during the past year, and
valued at some $140,000. ,
The Tribune further says in the article re-
ferred to, that every man that wears a wool-
en coat pays 10 per cent Dog Tax, and sage-
ly adds, “no doubt but that it costs the con.
if Farmers could keep Sheep without risk 'o'f
loss by dogs.” Would it not have been near-'
or to the mark had he have said thrice that
amount. ~ l l
The Tribune then goes on to suggest this
remedy, viz: “That every Dog should bede‘é
clared an outlaw and a bounty Offered for
hiss QWncrs name registered thereon: and
make all dog owners responsible for all sheep
killed by dogs.” Now the first part of this
remedy, viz: “Kill all dogs at sight and offer
a bounty for their scalps,”might prove effect-2
us] if rigidly carriediuto effect; but the lat’-’
ter clause, “Registering, &c.,”is substantially
what we have at present in this state. But
what avails it. It is in fact the old system of
protection to dogs—not to sheep.
What matters it to me whether my sheep
are killed by dogs having collars on and reg-
istered or not, when perhaps in 19 cases out
of 20 it is not known by whose dogs they are
killed. Who sees dogs kill sheep and where
are you to obtain evidence of the fact. Is it
not notorious that more than 90 out of every
100 sheep destroyed by dogs are killed du-
ring the night,-and very rarely is it known
whose dog it is that commits the act; of
course the common law has. I believe always
provided dog owners are liable for the de-
struction of sheep killed by their own dogs.-
How many or rather how few, have been
made to pay damages.
This matter of sheep killing by dogs has
been endured long enough. It must be stop-
ped at some time, and I contend that now
is as good a time to do it as at any other.
It is an enormous evil, it is in fact a great
crime. Its magnitude probably none have
ever fully realized, and none even now can
fully comprehend. It is not the destruction
of sheep by dogs only, great as it is that con-
stitutes the magnitude of this great National
loss. In fact, it bears but a very small pro-
portion to the many millions of sheep and
wool that would be raised throughout our
country, if sheep could be raised everywhere
without apprehension of slaughtering by
" dogs. Would it be an exaggeration to say
that in the small stats of Connecticut alone,
in less than five years after dogs were prop-
erly disposed of‘, the 'amount of sheep and
wool would reach to two millions of dollars!
What would it amount to through the vari-
ous states, and this at a comparatively slight
cost. In fact. would not the improvement
through sheep to the thousands of acres of
exausted lands, be adequate to the cost of
raising this kind of stock, and pay the entire
expenses.
Well, you may say, no doubt what you say
is true enough and more than true, but how
do you propose to prevent this great wrong.
How remedy this great evil. I answer mL
or PERPETUALLY CHAIN every dog in the
State, let there be no exception, none what-
ever, no matter what kind or degree, no
matter who is the owner, let the rule he in-
exorable. All dogs found at large to be’kill-
ed at sight, and the owner fined or impris-
oned at the discretion of the court, sufficient-
ly to induce him thereafter to see that his
chains are strong.
If any person desirous to keep a dog or 'tO
saves. favorite one from destruction, let him
pay a yearly tax of $10 for the privilege. I
hope a petition will be presented to our Leg-
islature at, its coming session, to this effect,
and should that body, pass laws in conformi-
ty to such petition, they will be hailed as
Public benefactors, and distinguished for
having promoted the general good, more
than has been done by all the Legislation in
our State for the past twenty years.
I could say much of the faithful and attach-
ed dog. He is at all times abiding in his
friendship. I yield to none in a proper ap-
preciation of his good qualities, and in the
attachment we all feel towards him, but
either the sheep or the dog must give place.
Would it not be better to retain that which
partially feeds and clothes us, fertilizes our
impoverished land, and promotes the gener-
al prosperity and Wealth of our country.

CONscrtrrT CAMP, FAIR HAVEN, }
April 281k 1864.
DEAR GAZETTE :—On the morning of the
24th, we quietly left the barracks at Wal-
lingford, embarked on board the train
which was in waiting for us, and after the
usual delay the train began to move towards
New Haven, where we arrived in due season
to embark on board the Steamer McClellan.
By the time all the baggage was gotten on.
board, the tide had fallen, so, of, course, we
had to wait for high water befOre starting-
The boys having found out that the Steamer
would not sail until bighwater, took French-
leave and strolled up town and had a good
time generally, but some of them getting too
much beer got left, but joined us in New
York. We left New Haven at 10.45 P. M.
Our sail through theSound was very pleasant
indeed. we arrived in New York at about
daybreak and anchored at the foot of pier
No. 24 North River, and lay all day looking
anxiously towards the City, but glad were
we to hear that we were to put back towards
old Connecticut once more. Asthe Steamer
was very crowded, there was hardly stand-
ing room. At 7 o’clock, Tuesday morning,
we quietly hove anchor and steamed down
towards East River. Our trip homeward
was very agreeable although it rained some
of the time. When we arrived at New Ha-
ven we had to anchor in the stream until
Wednesday afternoon, when we disembarked
and marched to this place, but how long .we
are to stay here would be hard to tell.

W INE-MAIIING IN Cormacrrcrr—I am
surprised to find in the course of my drives
in the country, how many of our old-time
farmers applying themselves, in a modest and
somewhat fugitive way, to wrnc making.
It is true that they bring under contribution
a great many foxy swamp varieties, and are
not ever careful in regard to ripeness; but
faults of acidity they correct by a heavy su-
garing, which gives an innocent and boun-
cing percentage of alcohol. The practice is
not, I fear, entered upon with a purely hor-
ticultural love, and I suspect they bring a
more lively slomachic fondness to it, than
do the pomologists to their science of fruiting.
I think the development of this home manu-
facture has been quickened by Maine laws,
heavy import duties, and by a growing
reluctance on the part ofthe heads Offamllles
-to carry a demijohn in the wagon. I also
hear the hotne product commended by the
old gentleman manufacturers, as “warming
to the in'ards ;” and in large doses, I should
think it might be. Their town customers for
this beverage are mostly exceedingly serious
and sedate people, who have a comical we
of calling home-made wines—“pure Juice.
And pray, why should not sedate people
enioy the good things of ble,—call. them by
what names they will? I know an exceed-
ingly worthy man who never buys his order
except of a deacon; and then only by the
cask; and he buys it very often

Dussarsas Saar—The
CONNECTICUT
Royal, gives a graphic account of the
execution of two deserters from the 6th
C. V. which took place on Sunday after-
noon, April 17. Their namcs were
Henry Schumaker, Co. C, and Henry
Stark, Co. E. Both were substitutes,
and joined the regiment in October last.
They had escaped and been captured
three different times. The execution
display. All the troops at the Post were
ordered to be in attendance, that the
example made of these two erriug and
unfortunate men might have a general
influence throughout the command. While
seated upon their cofiins and riding past
their regiment, the culprits recognized
many of their former comrades, to whom
they smiled and bowed. The firing party
was a squad of 24 men detailed from the
6th. The prisoners maintained their
calm demeanor to the last. Their hands
were tied, when they were made to kneel
on their cofiins and the fatal signal given.
Schumaker fell directly backwards, with
nine bullets in his bre net, and life lingered
in his body for an instant only. Stark
fell forward over his coffin, pierced' with
eight balls, and was aTready dead when
the surgeons reached him. The large
body of troops then broke into column by
company, past the spot, and gazed on the
ghastly corpses. Then the soldiers re-
turned to their comps, the bodies were
placed in their coffins, and the funeral
escort Was left alone to perform the hu-
rial duties.

HILTON HEAD, S. C. April. 1864.
New Fairfield gives Seymour 17 major-
ity—Election Returns Norwalk Gazette.
The above item has struck, a chord
that must vibrate a few mOments. . I am
somewhat interested in New Failfield,
historically speaking, and have been ever
since itn‘z that flag. I note its pro-
gress with deep interest, and, next to
places in Old Connecticut. New Fair-
field is a rising place, and is making its
mark high and dry on History's record,
Let no New Fairfieldite give up because
his town is small. Greatness does not
imply bulk, no more than Seymour signi-
fies loyalty, not a bit of it. No, sir,
your towu will not die, its name will be
as fondly cherished as that of Benedict Ar-
nold, or our more modern Horatio Sey-
mour. They say New Farfield is a
handsome place, an interesting retreat.
Aland of peace and plenty--.—of it. A
land overflowing with rocks, charcoal,
and abbreviated fingers, and muchly to
be desired. Here amidst quiet simplicity
gathered together the sweet apostles of
peace, to unfurl their significant‘emblem,
and bid defiance to the horridly pugna-
cious Belial men, who ' would persist in
shedding the blood of our brethren.—
Alas, that the Belialites should break in
upon that peace-fit” nsvembiy, and dese-
crate the ceremoniés, but they did, and
the fight is remembered. Then came the
cruel draft, and segacions New Fairfield
saw that resistance would be useless van-
ity. But they met the crisis bravely,
and belirving it to be preferable to enter
the Army maimed than to stay out of it
whole, they proceeded to maim with
exemplary fortitude. But that man of
Belial, Uncle Sam, seemingly deter-
mined to shut them out from this direct
road to glory, had passed a law prohibi-
ting fingerless meu from mixing in the
fray, and, verily, the result is apparent.
But the Beliulitcs shall not prosper. In
view of this the, election came, and New
Fairfield want it blind, and on a pair of
knaves saw them seventeen better Noble
Seventeen. Proudly you rank among your
compatriots. If Secession be foiled, if
the Union be plcscl’VCd, if Jeff Davis
Confederacy be broken down, you can
point at the ruins unstuug by conscience.
You did not-do if, your hands are clean
from the pit. The black Republicans
and empty-bended democrats are the
authors of all this Chivalry-suffering.—
Not on you, but on them rests the whole
blame. Noble Stubs, you It»! your fiu-
gets in a good cause, and your admiring
friends hope-_yoo may soon devote your
heads lo the same end. Fore thee well
stubs, good bye, I feel fbr you, my
my. But take my wishes. Keep on
amyon have gone, New Fairfield is with
you, peacefully after you, and Little
Mac isspecially detailed to beckon you
on. Yssxsr.

‘9‘ General Garfield, on Tuesday.
introduced in Congress copies of letters
to which he referred recently as having
been written by a former member of
Congress, recommending a young man to
a rebel general for employment in the
ranks of the rebel army. The letters
were addressed to John C. Breckiuridge,
and were written by Judge Eckles and
John G. Davis, the latter of whom was
0 member of the Thirty-sixth Congress,
and both of whom are now members of
the copper-head ongunizatiou in. Indiana.
Mr. Voorhees attempted to defend them,
but evidently appreciated the difficulty of
the task to which he hud undertaken.

able eXcilt-ment, at. least in Indiana,

The Case or
The little excitement about the return
of the 12th regiment ou acount of having
the small pox on board their transports
has all subsided. The thing is satisfac-
torily explained, and the regiment is
comfortably quattered at the camp await
ing the arrival of another and more com-
modious transport. The case was simply
this : When the 12th arrived at. New
York the Assistant Surgeon reported to
Col. Peck that a case, which he believed
to be the small pox, had appeared. Col.
Peck consulted with the captain of the
ship, and reported to Gen. Dix. the
commander of this department. The
man was immediately removed to the
government hospital in New York, but
as the fact of the case occurring would
subject the transport to a long quaran-
tine in New Orleans, and as it was de-
sirable on several accounts to secure a
larger vessel than the McClellan, Gen.
Dix ordered the regiment back— not to
be subjected to oversight as small pox
patients, but simply to await the charter-
ing of another vessel. The regiment has
all been vaccinated, and no case of small
pox has appeared except this one. Our
Board of Health on hearing the facts
and causing an inspection to be made by
its health officer, were fully satisfied there
was no occasion for anxiety, and the
regiment was allowed to land, and was
marched to the Grape Vine Point camp,
where it is now quartered in good health
and spirits. Our civil authorities voted
promptly to protect the town from dan-
ger, but both civil and military authori
ties are now satisfied that there is no
cause for alarm—N. H. Courier.

attract even more attention there than on this

effects, takes a far deeper hold on a half
civilized and superstitious people than it does
with us where the rationale of medical
problems is so much more generally under-
stood. No other American has made hinself
