SUDDEN DEATH.—0tll‘ village was startled
this noon (Monday) by the announcement of
the sudden death of Mr. Charles Mallory, an
old and well-known citizen. Mr, M. was in
usual health this morning, and visited both

on his return home he was taken with the

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT—A little girl of
Mr. Charles Squires, residing near Union
Park, caught its clothing on fire while burn-
ning some soiled neWspapers in the yard on
Thursday last, and was so shockingly burned
tirat her life is nearly despaired of'. The
poor little creature has undergone the most
intense sufiering.

ag- Our community was deeply pained,
this bright Monday morning, to learn of the
decease of Mrs. Chas. Olmstead, whose pure
spirit fittingly took its fiight during the last
sacred hours of Sabbath evening. That
f‘dealh loves a shining mark," was never
more truly exemplified. Though long a suf-
ferer, with Lethe’s waters lull in view, no
word of complaining escaped her lips, but
the same wonted cheerfulness that. had ever
won all other hearts, lighted up soul and
body to the last. Such a life, and such a
gentle passing away, robs the dim ferrymau
of half his terrors. And yet the hearts of
the bereaved family, oh, so sorely bereaved,
will still bleed, and ever follow after the
loved one gone before.‘
In the bright May, with carol of birds
' ‘ri bloom of It more, they will lay her away
in the bosom of our common mother earth ;
summer‘s winds will sweep the green grass
above her and God's ministeririg angels will
juir is fellow mortals in bedewing her grave
of a ‘ rctionate remembrance.

WAs IT SMALL AND MEAN ?—Vlany days
before the Stockholders’ Meeting of the New

Treasurer, not being able, conscientiously, to
cast his vote for the re-election of the old
Board, tendered them his resignation, but if.
was respectfully declined by the Board. Af-
tc. the perils encountered at New Haven,
however,th refractory cOnduct of the Treas-
urer was not to be overlooked and he was
forthwith removed, as was the right of the
old Board to do, but when they sought to
cast suspicion upon his official integrity and
personal honor, by issuing an order to all
banks to reject all outstanding Company
checks, they simply repeated the impotent
stupidity for which certain members of the
old Board have developed such amazing tal-
ent. and again disgusted the business commu-
nity. The old malignant who was belabor-
ing the dead carcass of his dog, that he
might convince it of his owner‘s belief in
“punishment after death," is doubtless re-
sponsible for having suggested this last bril-
'liaut exploit oi the Directors of the New

W Some sub-attorney of the New York
«I: New Haven Railroad delivers himself at.
at length, in the last Stamford Advocate, up:
on the general subject matter of that. corpo-
ration, diversificd, by now and then shying
a stone at the GAZETTE. We would copy
it entire did our columns permit. As it is,
we have room to reply but to a few of his
points, leaving all else at issue, to the pub-
lic judgment. And here let as state, that in
all we have said concerning this road, we
have ,"put down nought in malice," and u itlr
no other desire than, (by pointing outabusts
which have made this road proverbial uri-
popular), that inight rim for the public and
the owners' interests, which we believe to
be identical. The wonderful .“financial” sa-
gacity so highly complimented, we hope will
show itself this year by honest entries, so that
when the Stockholders' money is expended
for any purpose it may appear in its publish-
ed Reports how much, and for what it was
used. We claim this “Board of Directors"
have no right to use our money for any pur-
pose they are ashamed or afraid to exhibit
vouchers for. The fling at Gen. Ferry‘s _le-
gal attainments we presume he will survive.
“Tho Vanderbilt and Hartford interest
combined would not have elected Mr. Lock-
dood's ticket, and the ‘relonn’ ticket could
not have succeeded even at the sacrifice of
its Second Avenue railroad scheme.”
We presume not, for it would have been
only necessary to throw out: a few more thou-
srnd shares of Mr. Lockwood’s proxies, to
make the insiders secure in their positions.
We only wonder that the formality of voting
by proxy was allowed at all.
“It [the GAZETTE] advises the ‘few Con-
necticut Stockholder-s to transfer their inter-
ests to the new road.’ The Connecticut
Stockholders are not few but many. . They
own more than two million dollars of stock,
five thousand more slum-s than Mr. Lock-
wood, the leader of" [LP ‘rciorm’ ticket, re-
ceived votes.”
And our legal friend irriuht have added,
that this same Mr Lock wood is the individ-
ual owner of more than double the stock held
by this entire Board of Diwtors. It may be
courteous and it may be discreet for them to
ignore and spurn, so insignificant an inter-
est.
_ “The suppression of dishonesty by the old
Board is certainly not an occasion of criti-
cism.”
We beg pardon for the presumption, but
in our humble judgment as a Stockholder,
we think it is. We think there has been too
much dishonesty “suppressed.” We want
to see it exposed, and especially the dishon-
esty of its Treasurer's Report. They know
that they have habitually put lortlrto their
Stockholders ajalso report of monies expen-
ded. If money is expended for hotel bills,
champaigne suppers and lobbying, let it ap-
pear under some more appropriate head than,
eon-struction or reconstruction account.
zette Would have probably had a free ticket.”
Thank you. Owing to some personal ef-
fort and the generous patronage of its pat-
rons the GAZETTE,—-n0w enjoying a green
old age of sixty—seven years—can and does
pay for its ticket and has and will continue to
as much ?
“***The respectable old gentleman won't
come down from the tree this year.”
We indignantly repel] this unwarrantable
slur up In our venerable friend, Capt. God-
frey, of Southporf. We not only rejoice to
see him continue up in this figurative rail-
road tree, (as we always do to note his pres»
ence upon the platform of our political con-
ventions), but we also hope that he may en-
joy- a more liberal share of its enticing fruits
for we candidly think he does more honest
labor for the corporation than the entire re-
mainder of its Directors.
“Hon. W. D. Bishop has earned too good
a reputation as a railroad manager to require
will prove himself a most capable and effi-
cient PI esident.”
We are not disposed to prejudge the pre-
diction. We certainly hope Mr. Bishop may
prove equal to the Herculean taste of re-
forming the general mismanagement of the
road. If he does, and We find clean, and well
ventilated cars,a smooth track, civil subordi-
nates, and courteous treatment of those who
have or think they have cause of complaint
against this road, in place of the opposite so
long enduredp—no one will note the improve-
ment with more “Cheerful alacr'ity" than
the Gamma. ,It is due to truth and to Mr.
Bishop to say that, zealous partizan as he is,
we do not believe him capable of infusing any
political bias or manipulating in the party in-
terests of any factions, the important powers
and trusts committed to his keeping, and we
commend his wise example to others promi-
nently participating in its management.
In conclusion, may we not urge that a do.
cent compensation be paid its conductors.
We doubt if any road was ever more fortu-
nate in its selection of faithful, courteous and
patient conductors, while it. is notorious that
these men, entrusted with and responsible
for the property of the roar], and the lives of
its passengers, are paid‘salaries scarce above
the starvation point. It is not just, neither
is it. economical, and we commend this sub-
- ject in all kindness, to the new President as
we bid his road adieu and him bon cog/age.

Wln our report of the Legislative uro-

County Agriculture Society have petitioned
for power to buy real estate. Norwalk, with
a felicity too powerful to fight against, has
succeeded in inducing the managers to locate
in that town. This is fought against by
members from our neighborhood, but avails
nothing. The entire county is hopelessly
drifting shareware, and what Bridgeport can-
not clutclr, Norwalk is sure to secure. The

A New KING Comma—The New or-
leans Academy of Science have recently lis-
tened to a paper descriptive of the new tex-
tile plantcalled “ramie.” The sample shown
was raised in Mexico by Lion Benito Roeze]
formerly at the head of the HorticulturalIn-
stituie of Belgium. The fiber is said to be
remarkable fine and silky, and from two or
three feet in length, nearly as white as cotton
in its natural state, fifty per cent. stronger
than either. But few bands are required to
raise this new plant, and it yields four or
five crops per year, and is particuorrly adap-
ted to the soil and climate of Louisiana, Flor-
ida,AIabam-I and Texas. It is grown like
cane and is planted in lengths from the stub-
ble.

'1‘. Flualin.
To Du. Rosa's-Tran:
Dear Sir .r—Thls is to certify that I _was taken
with the dyspepsia a year ago last March, and for a
period of eight months, was due of the most miserable
creatures you ever beheldmot being able either tocat_
drink or sleep, and was compelled to walk the floor
incessantly. I was nearly deprived of my reason,
and hope had entirely left me, all the efforts made
for my recovery having proved fruitlcss.
Ry the first of November, 1865, I had become so
weak and feeble that; I could scarcely stand alone,
and, to all appearance, would soon die. At this time
(having read your advertisement,) my wife prevailed
upon me to try your Bitters. A bottle was procured
and, strange to say, I soon cbmmenced recovering.
I have taken four bottles, and am enjoying as good
health now as could be expected for one of my age
(about sixty years). I have no doubt that if. was your
Bitters alone, under Divine Providence, that effected
this wonderful cure. R. T. FLUALIN.
Hudson, Michigan, August 30, 1866.

. Dr. Schelick on Dyspepsia.
SYMPTOMS CAUSES AND REMEDY
Symptoms of Dyspepsia—A sense of fullness,
tightness, and weight in the stomach, together with
fiatnlency, acidity, sour, offensive belchin of wind.
water-brush and vomiting, and a great den of what
a person calls an all-gone feeling at the pit of the
stomach; frequently-there is alsoa palpitation of
the heart, wh ch physicians mistake for heart dis-
ease, aud_ when the stomach is in this condition it is
coatpd With a mucus or slime. The rough, fibrous
portion of the stomach, similar to what. we see in
tripe, Is what throws out. the gastric juice, and when
the stomach gets a thick coat of slime on it, it pro-
vents fhe gastric juice from flowing, and digestion
ceases. Schenck‘s seaweed tonic dissolves t is mu-
cus or slime, and restores the stomach to its natural
condition.
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills ar C also required to carry
off this morbid matter. 'I‘wo~tlrirds of the cases of
Consumption are caused from-this diseased state of
the stomach; the liver becoming torpid ceases to
throw out bile, and In a short time the whole system
is deranged. The mucus membrane of we bron-
chial tubes sympathizes with the other moons and
before the aticnt is aware of it, he or she has Brou-
chial or pu monary Consumption.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup cannot act freely through
the blood when the system Is in this locked-up con-
dition, without the aid of the Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. The Liver basal] the venous blood
to strain, and when it gets in amorbid condition
blood and bile run through the system mixed. am
the whole body becomes so low, and the blood so
thick it can hardly run through the veins. In a ma-
jority of cases hemorrhawcs occur from this thick
condition of the blood. I‘he Mandrak. Pills act on.
the Liver similar to calor'ue], or they do what that
does—it: unlocks the gall bladders, starts the bile,
and the blood begins to circulate naturally through
the veins. and the hemorrhages cease. If when cr-
sons are attacked with hemorrhage, they would first
take a good purgntive, something that would act on
the liVer, they would soon be relieved from
bleeding from the lungs, and it is the only way, for
astringenta are only temporarynnrl irritate the bron-
chial tubes, and lay the groun work for consumption
