H. -RAILROAD.—-We under- stand, that in response to a pc‘tition from the citizens of South Norwalk, the Selectmen have called out the Railroad Commissioners to act upon a petition to have flag-men placed at several Of the most public crossings of the N. Y.&N. H. Railroad. A meeting of the Commissioners was held on Saturday, but the decision has not yet transpired. We al- so hear that Mr. Supt. Hoyt, is not much pleased with the agitation of this question, and takes occasion to abuse the whole town of Norwalk quite soundly, including the Old Gazette which he denominates a “villainous sheet,” probably because said paper had the temerily to take exception at the raising of fare on that road, and a .Vocated. for the in- terest of the town, the building of a new Steamboat. , <‘9-. '— .____ WA very small audience assembled at Lockwood’s Hall on Monday evening last,to listen to John G. Saxc’s new poem, “Love.” This was Mr. Saxe’s first appearance before 8. Norwalk audience, and his poem was re- ceived with much pleasure and satisfaction. To-night, (Monday,) Dr. Holland delivers his new poem, “Jonathan at School.” As there has been some complaint about the high price of admission, the committee have decided to reduce the price, on this occasion, to 35 cents, as an ecperimcnt. If three hun- dred only Of our citizens can. be found who appreciate the efforts of the committee enough to encourage them by their presence, the experiment will be a success, and the committee may be induced to risk other first- class lecturers. Per contra, if people who continually talk about there not being enter- prise enough in Norwalk to get up a course of Lectures will not themselves attend, and induce their friends to go with them, the ommittee will bcj-uslified in paying up their losses and closing the course. «<0» THE BALL—The Seventh Annual Ball of Phoenix Engine and Hose Company came off at Lockwood’s Hall, on Friday evening last, was very largely attended, and as usual proved a pleasant and successful entertain- ment. The beautiful Hall was tastefully decorated with fire department emblems, flags, evergreens due. The 1 music by We]. lace’s Band was splendid, introducing during the night a very large number Of different musical instruments and even a vocal chorus with most excllent effect. During the night a large and handsome “front" was formally presented the Hose Company in behalf or No. 14 of New York, by a delegation of that Company present. Mr. W. B.

See his advertise- ment. e<°>o~——-——— WWe are sorry Norwalk feels so badly about that game of base ball. It was fairly played, fairly won and like a “modest sensa- tionless community,” Stamford bore‘ 1ch honors quite meekly. As to “Jenkins” the Gazette is in error in supposing him to be a resident of our “charming village." “Jen- kins” dres’nt patronize manly sports; he only hangs about ball rooms and levees, and describes Miss A‘s lace, and gives the width of Miss B's flounces, and dilates On the splendor of Mrs. C’s diamonds. The last we heard of Jenkins he was running at full speed with his coat tails sticking out behind straight for Norwalk. Keep him when you catch him, friend Byinglon, and “make the most of him.”——Slamford Advocate. WWe have caught him already, .in one sense, and will “use him.” You say the last you “heard of Jenkins he was running full speed with his coat tails sticking out behind straight for Norwalk.” How long will it take him “running at full speed" to reach his abi- ding place in Stamford? The Advocate is mistaken in supposing that the Norwalk boys feel bad about that game of Base Ball. - The game was ‘yairly played and fairly won,"by the Stamford boys same as the “Second Annual” match was won by the Norwalk boys with greater odds last year. ...<....

Do the people of Norwalk take'auy inter- est iu our public schools? from the way they are visited the answer would assuredly be -—no—they do not. There is nothing so sal- utary to a school as interest in the perform- ance of their studies ; and there is nothing that will interest the scholars so much as to know that their parents and friends take a real heartfelt interest in their school duties, which interest can only be shown by visit- ing them at school. And theteacher, how much lighter would be her task if she knew that her labor was appreciated, and that the parents instead of finding fault would come and see for themselves the way in which the school is conducted. As it now is, a visitor is something quite strange, they come so few and far between that the little boys and girls do not know how to act when they do come. Ifthe com- mittee would do their duty in this respect, our schools would be more prosperous, more interesting and give much more satis- faction than they now do. But we would say to all visitors, do not judge our schools from once visiting them, do not make unkind criticisms; make known your objections to the teacher, and we' will meet them fairly.

GENERAL GRANT in his late visit South, found the bitterest enemies of the govern- ment among the rebel stay at homes and the women. Those who received him most cor- dially were those who had been active par- ticipants in the rebellion. He found the la- bor question still unsettled, most of the ne- groes refusing to make or receive contracts till after Christmas; In some localities the negroes religiously believe a general division of property is to take place at thattime, and a vague expectation of something of this sort prevailed nearly everywhere. All men of standing and influence Were outspoken in favor of complying with any demands the President might consider necessary for their restoration. Slavery, State rights and seces- sion they admit to be settled against them irrevocably and forever. Their desire now is to return to the Union in fact as well as in name, and devote the balance of their lives to repairing the ravages of war. They have been strengthened in this belief by the express or implied promise of those having them in charge. The summing up ofGeneral Grant’s observations inclines him to the belief that the Southern people almost unanimously desire a speedy re-admission to their old po- sition as Slates in the Union, and that their professions of future loyalty and good be- havior are honest and sincere. .__——oc-e.>> BIG PORK—Betti, K.

Both boner s also requested the President to communicate to them all ,information in possesion of the Governmentconcerning tlle‘present condi- tion of affairs of Mexico. Of the proposed amendments to the Con- stitution, several aim at the establishment of equal ciVilrights for all men, without dis- tinction of color. Another, which expresses the outspoken sentiments of nearly all the Union Conventions held in 1865. demands that the representations .in the lower House be based upon the qualified numberof Voters in each State. Others forbid the assump- tion or payment of the Rebel debt, and the Seppdiation of any part of the National e t.‘ _. . . . . .. On motion Of Mr. Wentw‘ortll, a bill was passed to prevent the spreading of the Rin- ' densest in the United States. A resolution offered by Mr. N ihlack grant- ing't‘o Representatives from States lately in rebellion the privileges of the floor of the House pending the question as to their ad- mission,pwas. lost, the House refusing to sus- pend the rules for its’reccption by Yeas 40; Nays, 111, “ ' TUESDAY.-—-In the Senate, the resolution calling for information in regard to the em- ployment of- persons in the Treasury Depart- ment, who have not taken the oath of allegi- ance, and whether there are persons employ- ed and paid for offices not provided by law, was. taken up, amended and passed. Mr Wilson called up a bill to protect the freed- men in the lately rebellious States, wherebv .any inequality of civil rights and immunitie's among the inhabitants, on account of race and color, exist, are null and void. - amended by the Senate, was taken up and passed without debate; also one directing the Committee on the death of President Lin- coln to take into consideration the expedien- cy of completing the Washington Monument and dedicating it to the memories of both .Washington and Lincoln. Resolutions on Negro Suffrage were introduced by Mr. Farnsworth of Illinois. After refusing to lay them on the table (yeas, 43; ’ Days, 113), the House referred them to a Select Com- TnURsDAY.—In the Senate a resolution was Offered instructing the Committee on Judiciary to consider the expediency of adopting the Eight Hour rule in all employ: ments and places within jurisdication of Congress. It was laid overintorrnally. The remainder of the session was occupied in ad- dresses upon the deatl. of Senator Collamar of Vermont by his colleagues Mr. Foot, Mr. Harris. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Riddle, M-r. Sumner and Mr. Poland. Resolutions were passed, and the Senate adjourned till Monday as a mark of respect to the deceased.

A resolution was passed to Inquire into the expediency of estabishing a National Bureau of Education,without limit of race or color. . . _ On motion of Mr. Wilson of Iowa, the House adopted a resolution substantially the same as the latter clause of the Stevens res- olution rejected by the Senate, providing that all papers relating to claimants from the Rebel States, he referred without debate to the Joint Committee of Fifteen, and that no persons be admitted as representatives from such States till the final report of that Com- mittee. - «0» THE LADY’s FRIEND.—This new Maga- zine, now just entering upon its 2nd year, has taken a front rank among the popular monthlies for the ladies.

Carlos Wilcox one of the true poets of whom Connecticut may well be proud,) among the “candidates,” or “supplies,” who ministered to the First Congregational Church of Norwalk in the interval between the death of the Rev. Ros- well Randall Swan and the installation of Rev. Sylvester Eaton. Among the most useful and eloquent preachers and pastors, which have adorned the American pulpit, the Rev. William Nevins, D. D., of Baltimore, stands pre-emi nent. While Nevins was a collegian at Yale he was led from the pathway of gaiety and frivolityto become a follower of the Saviour. The person employed as God's instrument in affecting this most desirable restilt, was CaptIngersoll, who was also an under-graduate of the college. The follow- ing is askelch of his life, from the fourth vol. of Dr. Spraguefs Annals of the Ameri- canPulpit, pages 629, 1830; “Samuel B. Ingersol was born at Salem, Mass, Oct. 13, 1785. At the age of'seven- teen he entered on a sea faring life, in which he continued about ten years, till he was ad— Vanced to the post of Commander. Though he had a religious education he was regard- less of his spiritual interests unttl the your 1809, when ill consequence of being placed in imminent jeopardy from a fearful ship- wreck, he was roused to serious reflection, and resolved that if he should ever see land a sin, he would devote himself to the service ogGod. On his return home his friends no- ticed that his spirits seemed depressed, but he did not reveal to them the cause. Hav- ing a lucrative offer, he sailed again for Eu. rope, and soon after the leaving the port, he lost the mate of his vessel,—an envent which strongly affected his feelings. He now prayed for the first time in presence of others, performing the funeral rites of his friend, and committed his body to the deep; and from that time, morning and evening prayers were regularly offered on board the ship. When he came home again, he avow- ed tllc change in his feelings, and his whole demeanor showed that he was living fora new object. In June, 1811, he joined the Congregational Churchin Beverly, to which his father's family belonged,then under the care of the Rev. Abiel- Abbott. Shortly after this, be resolved to devote himself to the ministry; and having gone through his course prep .ratory to entering college, parl- ly at New Ipswich,N.H.,and partly at Farm- in'gton, Conn., he joined the Sophomore graduated in 1817 (atthe age of 32 years.) Immediately after this, he placed himself as a theological student under the instruction of Prof. Fitch, and in May, 1819, was license to preach by the Western association of New Haven County. IngDecember following be was married to Miss. Whittlesey, a respecta- ble lady f New Haven. On the 14th of June, 18% he was ordained as colleague Pastor, with the Rev. Dr. Sumner, of Shrewsbury, Mass. When he had preached but a single Sabbath, he was taken ill, re- turned to his friends in Beverly, and, after languishing about.- five months in extreme suffering, died on the 14th of November, 1820. His introductory (as itproved his final ser- mon), was published. A more lovely, beau- tiful, or elevated Christian churaetertllan his I have never known. His good influence in Yule, it is impossible adequately to esti- mate." - Truly may we cxclnim With the Psalmist, " Thy way is in the sea, and thy path is ill the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known." Captain Ingersoll like John New- ton and many others, were arrested in his career OfWOl‘ldlilleSS while roving over the deep, and led to turn his steps towards the Gospel ministry. Although Capt. lugersoll lived to preach but one sermon after his or- dination, yet, doubtless, his life, it estimated by the good accomplished, may be rcckoned among the most useful of God’s ministers! Who can estimate the influence of his exer— tions in bringing young Nevins and other undergraduates to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus? A life of usefulness is not to be estimated from its length but the amount A of good accomplished.
