Reading Matter on every Page,
The River Road. .
The largest Town Meeting held in Nor-
walk for many years, convened on Saturday
upon acall for the _purpose of rescinding a
vote ordering the construction of this old,
much talked of road. The question we pre-
sume may now be considered fairly settled;
the misconceptions and misrepreaenufiom
have been cleared away, and we hope to see
this new and inviting main artery into Nor-
walk soon thrown open to the public.

WWe learn that Mr. Dibble who recent-
1y purchased the Capt. Ford property is
about to erect a store on the angular corner
next to the railroad track, which shall im-
prove that hitherto unsightly waste and
prove a permanent ornament to that portion
of South Norwalk. Mess". Beckwith &
Whitney to occupy the upper portions of the
building as a branch Daguerrean Gallery,&c.
At all this We heartily rejoice, but without
wishing-to interfere with the owner’s plans,
we do hope that before such a permanent
structure is erected that the town will pur-
chase from four to six feet of the yards run-
ning from the Congregational Church to the
"railroad track and throw the same info the
road. The public needs require more width
of street there and now is the time to secure
it. Moreover property on either side would
be made much more valuable than the probe"
ble cost of this strip of land, and the owners
would probably contribute generously for
the improvement. We entreat that the op
portunity be not lost.
HORSE Tatum—On Saturday night last
the Barn of George B. Bates, of Poplar Plains,
was entered and his Horse, Harness and Car-
riage stolen therefrom. The . horse was a
large grey, over 16 hands high, with tail cut
so short as to be very noticeable, spoiling the
looks of the horse. The carriage was a light
top buggy. The turn-out was valued at
about $600.

@Quite a sensation has been created
among nervous people during the past few
days over the apparition of a real live ghost!
He has been seen in various localities and
shapes. In one instance he was seen balloon-
like gliding etherially about two feet from
earth. In another instance he turned out to
be averitable white horse, and in a tlfld
case a white-faced Cow. There seems how-
ever to have been an attempted frightening
on the part of. somebody by using a sheet
and running after ladies. We apprehend
that this may prove a dangerous experiment
if repeated.

c".nosen for his subject “The Times,” to which
we presume he will do full justice, giving us
a real Phillipian pdlilical speech. Mr. P,
stands almost entirely alone in the political
arena. He annt‘lecdgc-s no party, and no
party acknOWI‘edgcs him. He stands simply
upon his eloquence, and his friends proudly
call him “eloquence personified.” As an
orator he is admired by men of all parties,
and those who denounce him the most bit-
terly, always avail themselves of every op-
portunity of hearing what he has, tosay up-
on the question of the day. We plead guil-
ty, with the public in general—we do not
admire him politically, but we do want to
hear him speak.
‘Owing to the large expenses attending
the lecture, it has been found necessary to
put the admission at 50 cents with the privi-

great drawback is dogs. They are much
more dangerous than wild animals or any
kind of disease. In Ohio they levy a spec-
ial tax on dogs, which goes intoa “sheep
fund." When sheep are killed, magistrates
decide value, give certificate, and owner
drawsmoney from dog tax. Last year it
amounted to over $600,000.

Salary and Health.
MEssns. EDITORs.—Will you allow an old
minister, who never took a voyage to Europe,
or spent a dollar of his people’s money in
ru sticating, to say a few words on the article
published in last week’s Gazette, under the
above heading. And first, as to the article
from the Boston Review, copied with appro-
bation in the New York Observer.
The animus of the article is manifestly
uncharitable and mischievous. It represents
the clergy as a set of selfish time-servers,
ready to resort to any deception, or shallow
pastime, to suit their own selfish ends.
“ Those who have small salaries and cannot
travel have good health; those who have large
salaries complain‘of illneSs, in order to in-
duce their people to send them abroad," &c,
If the clerical editor of the New York 0h-
server is ready to endorse such sentiments, I
am glad not to be one of the subscribers to
the paper. ,
The writer in the Review takes a few facts,
general statement, which in its wholesale
application is as false as it is uncharitable.
It is not true that ministers who have but
five or six hundred dollars salary, enjoy uni-
form health. Hundreds of them break down
every year, and are obliged to suspend their
labors, or abandon them altogether. The
Boston editor does not hear of them, for the
simple reason, that, instead of being sent
abroad to recruit, they are dismissed from
their charge, and left to shirk for themselves.
Very often a change of place, with the con-
sequent relief from incessant sermon-ma-
king restores them. And if they chance to
get a better salary, and live more comfort-
ably, and more free from care, it is all the
better for them. A minister half-starved is
no more likely to enjoy good health, than a
half-starved horse. Some men, no doubt,
would be glad to see them wholly starved,
and the race extinct,“ there are others
who feel differently. There are churches
who value their ministers and desire to re-
tain their services—and believing that a trip
to the Falls, or a voyage to Europe will in-
vigorate them, and prolong their usefulness,
they cheerfully furnish the means and give
their pastors a long vacation. If; pastors
and people are agreed in this thing, 'whose
right is it to complain? They ought to be
best judges in their own affairs, and take
their own course unmolesled. It looks very
much like busy-bodies in other men’s matters,
for the Boston Review and New York 0b,
server and the old correspondent in Norwalk
to come out with railing accusations against
a class of men who, to say the least, exhibit
quite as much benevolence and self-denial, as
do most of their accusers. Ministers as a body
do more hard work, for less pay than any
other class of men of equal learning and
ability. If any of them are favored with
rich friends who are disposed to be generous
towards them—who can blame them if they
accept the favor and make the most of it?
Only let them be careful to remember their
poor brethren who-have no such favors.
Now a few words to our pious friend How-
ard, if you would understand, or be made
to understand the exhausting effect of con-
stant mental labor, I could easily convince
you that every minister ought to be allowed
a few week’s vacation, at least once a year.
But as you evidently have not the remotest
conception on the subject, I waive it, and
simply reply to your charge of TREAsON.
A minister preaches to his people, say forty-
eight Sabbaths in a year, and four Sabbaths
with the consent of his people, he is absent,
you say this is dishonest—“in any other busi-
ness this would send men to prison.” Let
us see, your school teacher takes two or
three vacations in a year; so do the Profess-
our Courts. No class of men, whose em~
ployment is mental labor, pretends to work
constantly fifty-two weeks in a year. What
right have you to demand of ministers such
an application to mental labor, as is never
demanded of men in other professions?
You say that the minister is a watchman
in the night, must the minister never sleep,
lest they die unwarned? Your applica-
tion of this passage is a perversion. If the
minister is faithful forty-eight Sabbaths in
the year, none of his people will die un-
warned; if they should happen to die du-
ring his vacation, their blood will be upon
their own hands.
One word as to stipulated salaries. Have
you never read the words of our Lord Jesus,
in relation to this very matter. The laborer
7's worthy of his hire, or the words of Paul,
Men 80 hath the Lord ordained, that they who
pleach the gospel should line of the gospel?
Doubtless many would like to have all that
they do for their mtnisters regarded as
charities, and they would like to keep their
ministers very poor so that they may not be
proud, not considering that they are all the
time nourishing in themselves a spirit of
covetousness, which the Apostle calls IDOLA-
TRY but every well-instructed christian
knows, that it is the will of God that faithful
ministers should be fairly and honorably
supported by the people to whom they min-
ister. If they saw to the penple spiritual
things, 7.8 it a great thing if they reap from
them carnal things? And if it is right, and
a duty, for the people to bestow carnal things
on their ministers, is it wrong to promise it
beforehand. -
Good man as you are, if you will learn to
think less of the faults of ministers, and
more of your own faults, you will be a much
happier man, and a much more useful chris-
tian. SENEx.

How Preston King Committed
_ lulcidc. _
NEW Yon‘k,’Nov. 14.—A _little boy and
girl saw a gentleman answering the descrip-
firm of Hon. Preston King, Collector of this
port, jump overboard from one of the Hobo-
ken ferry boats, Monday morning. They
have been sent for, and further particulars
may be learned. The hat brought over to
this city was recognized by Messrs. Thur10w
Weed, Terwilligcr, Mr. King's private sec-
retary, and Mr. Usher, deputy naval officer.
Mr. King stated to a very intimate friend,
Sunday night, that he would never see him
again. Knowing Mr. King had been for
some time laboring under a depression of
spirits he took but little notice of the matter.
His health had been poor for some time,and
latterly he had shown indications of soften-
ing of the brain. He had only returned to
the city last Saturday, from a visit' to his
home in St. Lawrence county. Since his re.
turn from the country he had suffered more
than ever from depression of mind. He
went to the Astor House, where he remained
over Sunday with his friend. ' Mondaymorn-
in he arose, dressed himself, and said to a
re ative, who slept in the same room, that he
wished to take a walk and preferred going
alone. About eight o'clock he went .up
town. He was next heard of on board aler-
boat returning from Christopher street to
oboken, from which it was reported, yes-
terday morning, that a man had jumped
overboard. Four of Mr. King’s friends vis-.
ited the boat tO-day, and found that ‘a gen-
tleman answering the description of Mr. K.
had entered the boat yesterday morning at
nine;o’clock ;.'that'he remained ‘on the stern
of the boat, and when” about midway in the
,streiim was seen by two ‘childrcn, the" only
pass‘engers On ‘that end‘ot the boat, to take
off his hat and then leap overboard. An
alarm was at at once given, and the boat
stopped, but the body was not seen by any
one on board. As the tide was falling at the
time, probably the body was washed out to
sea. Men employed on the‘boat had seen a
man answering Mr. King’s description to
get on borad the boat. '
All parts of this story are strongly con-
tinued. Mr..Kirg has been much perplexed
.9!!!" sincethis appOintment,;Over affairs at
.the‘fcustomvjiouse, .which weighed heavily
upon his mind, and undoubtedly culminated
in his death. Those most intimate with him
have carefully watched his failing.heall-h,and
recently he has been attended by a compan-
ion, who occupied aroom with him at the
Astor House and watched his movements.
Mr. King was a bachelor.
‘ [3‘ Later developments show that ,Mr.
King had bought a 25 pound bag of ' shot
and tied it around his neck, to make sure
of sinking beforeanybody could rescue him.
(He was fat, and liable to float, otherwise.)
His body has not been recovered.

Decidedly the best, most durable and
cheapest known in this country. Materials
which are liable to be confounded with
this have long been in use for covering
factories and barns, &c., but never until
this recent discovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi-
dences. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water-
proof; makes solid, handsome work, is a
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.
