Our Legislature.
The Connecticut Legislature has now been
in scSSion twelve weeks, with no possibility
of adjourning before a full three months
session has been completed. That. this un-
preeedently long session is regretted more
by the imprisoned members than by the tax-
payers, we are quite confident. Tlrab' SO
much has been considered, and so little 01‘
really grave consequence to the people ac-
complished, must be regretted more than all.
A long session may cvcribc made popular
with the people if important measures pro-
motive of the interests of the State result
therefrom. We fear that the present session
will fail of such vindication. It is evident
that the present; session has been more de-
laycd by the various Railroad enterprises un-
der consideration, than by all other interests
combined. To say that the time involved
in the consideration of these various meas-
ures has involved a cost to the tax-payers of
the State of fifty thousand dollars, will, we
are confident, be quite w'thin the limit. If
this be so, what does it . gue? That such
measures are not to be entertained, or if in-
troduced, are to be passed or kicked out.
without consideration! By no means, but:
it does plainly prove the. duty of this legisla-
ture before it shall adjourn, to pass a Gener-
al Railroad Bill, such as the great States of.
Ohio and New York have found it necessa-
ry to cngraft upon their statute books and
which experience has shown to be most
conducive to the public good. By the enact-
ment Of such a law Connecticut but. extends
and carries out the features of her joint stoék
law, which has made our little State the
busy work shop of the world. By such a
Law the legislature stampcdes the hordes
of lobbyists who swarm about it, in the ill-
terest of every new enterprise or to guard
some old one. Time, money, patience, and
oftentimes personal and political honor are
thus saved to the State and to the individual.
But greater and more important than all, the
interests of the whole State are thereby pro-
moted—our material resources and wealth
developed and augmented. If ever Connec-
tieut is to attain to that development clearly
within her grasp and bountifully accorded
her by Providence, we must. abandon our
dwarfish modes of legislation. _ We have far
too much of local jealousies and rivalries.
When we learn that we are one Stale, one
people, identical in interest and destiny, then
We may realize that whatever promotes the
growth and prosperity of Hartford also eu-
lrances the material interests of New Haven.
That we may not cripple or dwarf one sec-
tion without the entire Slate suffering from
the injury. To illustrate, there is to-day, a
vaster water-power running to waste, in the
single County of Litchfield than would serve
a dozen Lowells. Let such means of ingress
and egress be supplied as that county sorely
needs to bring it conveniently within the
radius of the great commercial emporium of
the western world, and within five years,
factories, mills, and hives oi industry would
dot every hill-side and mountain gorge, ad-
ding to our population of thrifty producers,
and untold thousands to our grand list. Brit
let a charter for a railroad, or such number
of roads as are clearly necessary for this de-
velopment be solicited and forthwith the
Legislature is besieged by an array of law-
yers whose plethorie fees bear no proportion
to their persistent efforts in behalf of some
older corporation whose dividends may be
temporarily diminished and its spirit of ac-
cumulation augmented by a rival. A long
and tedious hearing is given before its com-
mittee, a more tedious discussion is bad in
open session and a. vote is taken gnly to kill
ameasurc which the representatives of the
whole State ought; only too gladly to wel-
come as a public benefit.
No previous Legislature Of this State has,
within our recollection, shown a less appre-
ciation of our imperative needs in the way
of increased railroad facilities. Geographi-
cally located at the very door of the men-
ster metropolis, with all New England pour-
ing down its people and productive industry
through our commonwealth, we sufferingly
need more means of interconimunication
and when capital is raised and knocks at the
doors of our Legislature for permission to
distribute it within our borders, our repre-
sentatives reply “you shall not bring capital
into Connecticut, we desire no development,
no increase in population, in the value of
real estate, or in the hives of manufacturing
industry where wealth is aggregated.”
Of every railroad enterprise thus far con-
sidered by the present legislature, we do not
recall a single one that has not been rejected.
Members know that some of these were
meritorious and that; this is not as it should
be, bllt human nature is the same, whether
seated in' front of the speaker’s chair, at
home, in the Office, the store or upon the
.farni,‘aud when we join in the defeat. of a
measure that our neighbor earnestly advo-
cates, he will pretty surely oppose the meas-
ure he knows we hold very dear, and thus it
goes and thus it will continue until we rise
to the dignity, the courage and the dirty of
enacting a General Railroad Law.

The Center District School.
The present term of this school is to close
with a public exhibition at Loekwood's
Hall, on Thursday and Friday evenings
next. Extensive arrangements have been
made for this exhibition, and we have no
doubt it will prove One Of the most satisfac-
tory entertainments of the kind ever given
in town. One hundred pupils are to take
part in the exercises, which have been in
preparation some two months, and which
are of varied character. The teachers, as
well as pupils have taken much interest in
the entertainment, and will do all in their
power to make it in every way creditable
to the school. The exhibition is for tlie'bene-
fit of the School Library, and We trust the
attendance will be very large.
During the past year the sch0u1 has been
under the management of Mr Edwin F.
Bacon, as Principal, assisted by a competent
corps of lady teachers in the various depart-
ments. The reputation of the school has
been much improved, and the attendance,
which has nearly or quite doubled, is con-
stantly increasing. Many pupils attend from
other districts. This success is owing partly
to the earnest efforts of the teachers, who
are devoted to their profession, and partly
to the liberal and wise management Of the
committee. The people are beginning to
take pride in the school, and we trust will
sustain and encourage all efforts to make it
the best school in Connecticut.
We understand it is the intention of the
patrons of the school to establish a definite
high school course. Classes have been fortn—
'cd’ in several of the higher branches, inclu-
ding Latin, during the past year, and a com-
plete course will be developed and addition-
al teachers employed as the_rcquirements of
the school may demand.

er John R. McFee, when some little dis-
tance this side of Captain’s Island, bound to
Norwalk with a cargo of coal for Mr. Leon-
ard and Ass Smith’s Sons, was run into by
the Steamer City of Hartford, carrying her
bowsprit completely away and causing other
damage. The steamer’s wheel-house was torn
off, and one side of the vessel considerably
damaged. A calm prevailed at the tiine,and
a slight fog. The schooner's lights were all
properly set, and, we are informed, the col-
lision was entirely owing to carelessness on
the part of those running the steamer.—
Strange to say the Steamer sailed on, without
stopping to see what damage had been done,
or to offer assistance. Pieces of the wheel-
house found on board the schooner, and
picked up after the collision revealed the
Steamer’s name. Fortunately no .persons
were injured, and the sea being still the
schooner was enabled to reach port that af-
tcrnoon.

New England is the best place in the Uni-
ted States for a summer vacation. No where
else, with so little travel, can one find so
much variety, such beauty and grandeur of
scenery. so accessible. One can hardly go
off the regular line of travel without happen-
ing upon some delightful nook, some spot of
clear streams, green valleys, picturesxneliills
or noble mountains. These facts account
for the emptiness of the watering places this
year. Our people have found out the bean-
ties of the simple country, and almost every
pretty town and romantic place in New Eng-
land lras its cit y sojearners—Hartford Press.

BASE BALL—A correspondent sends us the l WThe Nelly Wile moonlight excursion
following account of a game of ball played
at Port Chester, on Thursday last, between a
club from this place improvised for the ocea-
sion, and a regularly organized Association
club, of Port Chester:-
Mnssns. EDiTons—z
To add to the value Of statistics, and as a faithful
cln-oniclcr of events, you should not miss publishing
the score and account of the game of Base Ball
played between the “Sans Souci“ chi b of this place,
.and the Washington cllib of‘ I’ortchester, N..Y., on
he grounds of the latter. Without telescopic aid, for
many weeks past it. has been plainly evident that a
new light; was to be hung in the heavens of Baseball:
dom. At first, while but. a speck in the horizon, we
could make no estimate Of its magnitude, or proba-
ble effect of its advent, but as it slowly moved to its
appointed place and the neighboring constellations
began to pale, we judged it a bud of promise, and so
were not disappointed when on Wednesday after-
noon it bur-st. upon as with a flood of light and heat.
and was duly christened “Sans Sorrel." We predict
that; many will get. “busted” in its rays, for with
c1ub,ball and other base implements, it started at
once upon the war-path and before it. was twenty
hours old had taken the scalp-lock of I’ortcliestcr iii-
to camp. It has three secretaries writing challenges,
and their right~fleldman informs me that they are to
play the Asparagus club Of Royeaton. at; an early
day. Their playing at Portcllcster being against
both title and wind, proves thattlrcy have pluck and
endurance, that they can stand grief like veterans
and can rally around a table loaded with ham-sand-
wiches with great: success,so much so,that. that right-
fieldman remarked that he would give a dollar for
Dr. Wilson’s opinion of the probable aggregate
length of— 01‘——, well, that riglit-flcldmau is a funny
one, he could‘nt play lively “out there alone,” and
wanted the captain to send him company; he could
not tell whether his score was “clean” or not, but
would afllrm that his boots were not.
The club translation of Sans Soaci is “free and en-
sy," blit they made it anything but. free and easy for
the'Washington‘s to make a run on the first inning ;
however, when the latter came to the bat the second
time, they scored seventeen runs, making aterr-ible
gap—the San Souci‘s came to the bat looking deter-
mined and confident that blood would tell—the right-
ilcldman says, “shall this be thus 2" and it was deci-
ded bya majority of nine over the umpire, that it
should‘nt, andiu consequence they girdcd themselves
afresh and with swelling veins and distended nos-
trils they rushed in. Scarles and Aiken broke bats
and caught balls on the fly; White on the first and
Gus on the third apparently knew what was expect-
ed of‘ them, Capt. Ed. watched the game closely and
put. a French twist on the pitching, besides making
the best score; Campbell and Van were sure at the
bat, the latter making a home run, while the right
and center field—-, welllthe “colored troops always
fought nobly,” and the grand result was as you see
below. _
The club was handsomely entertained by the Wash-
ington club and both clubs voted thanks to the gen-
tlemanly umpire and the good-looking scorers. We
understand that. qliitc a number of wagers were made
upon the result, some of which were promptly paid
and others still remain unsettled. *

The Alert club, Of South Norwalk, went
over to Bridgeport, on Thursday last, to play
With the “Bridgeport club,"——the champions
of that city. A storm came up and the game
was necessarily postponed. They went again
on Friday with the same result. The Sland-
ard says :—“It'is suggested that the So. Nor-
walk club commute on the Railroad and come
up daily the remainder oftlre season, till a
chance to play the game is obtained. It is
probable that the Bridgeports will go to SO.
Norwalk some day next week, and try the
effects of a game on the climate of that sec-
tion.”
We hear that a game between the second
nines of the Liberty and Alert clubs, is to be
played on the grounds of the former cllib,
on Thursday afternoon next. A game be-
tween the Liberty club and Americas club
of Bridgeport, is arranged for Thursday,

An Enraged- Lion.
One Of' the most exciting events ever wit-
nessed, resulting in the serious wounding of
Prof. Charles White, the lion tamer, took
place last evening at the circus. At the close
of the performance the cage of lions, con-
taining two lions and two lionesses, is
brought in, and Mr. White enters the cage
and performs with thcui, making them jump
through a hoop, and over his back, etc. The
largest lion is a savage creature, and has ex-
hibited a pechant for snapping at White, so
that his friends have been alarmed, and
Avery Smith, the celebrated circus and me-
nagerie proprietor, from whom these lions
were purchased, who was in town yesterday,
told the professor that he had better not per-
form with this fellow, for he was too savage,
and would some day turn upon him and eat
him up. White acknowledged that he was
pretty savage, but said he was determined to
conquer him. He little dreamed that Mr.
Smith’s assertion would almost prove true
the same day, but such was the fact, for when
Mr. White opened the partition in which
this king of the forest was penned he stoop-
ed down to compel the animal to jump over
him, but he sprang upon him, and in an in-
stant. had imbcdded his ugly teeth in White's
shoulder, raising him up and shaking him as
aterrier would a rat. . He then let go his hold
and snapped him again, when some men who
weIe standing near the cage beat him off
with iron bars which were kept on hand in
case of necessity. One of the bars was put
in his jaws and pried upon,whieh.made him
let go his hold. White liicn got out of the
cage and fainted as soon as he stepped upon
the ground. He was picked up and convey-
ed in a carriage to the National Hotel, and
Dr. Whitbeck sumeraed to dress his wounds.
The doctor found eight large incisions
through the shoulder—three in front and five
on the back of the shoulder. The collar
bone was broken, as was also the shoulder
blade. Tire wounds were of a terrible nature,
for the teeth of the animal were blunt, rind
the incisions large enough to insert the fin-
fier. The lion also clawed open the flesh
fearflilly. A half minute later and Mr.
White would never have come out of that
rgc alive. As it is, he is in a very danger-
ous condition, and the chances of his recov-
ery are very slim. _
It is related that one of the ollrer lions
sprang upon the beast and endeavored to
pull him off The other beasts are perfectly
tame and are very gentle. Mr. Wliitc‘liad
already had a similar tussle with other lions,
but was not. so badly hurt. He is a man of
undaunted courage,and bore the operation of
extracting the pieces of bone without 9. mm-
mur. He has no family, and has been con-
nected with eireuses for a number .of years.
He is receiving every ”ble attention.

WA horse recently purchased by Dr.
Mosman, got up a race today on his own
private account which proved quite as exhil-
crating to the animal as unprofitable to the
Doctor. He took fright while hitched in
front of his new residence on West Avenue,
sprang over the picket fence in front of the
M. 13. Church demolishing that, thence leap-
ing over the stone wall on the side opposite
the old Mott House, and swinging around
the circle, via Union Park, Edwin Lyon,
Sandford Street to the place of beginning
where he arrived in an incredible sliortspacc
of time, most of the carriage “adhereing.”
At this point finding the gate closed against
him he lcapul that and dashed madly down
for the stable, obliterating nearly every ves—
tigc of the vehicle and cutting an arteryover
the animal’s eye from which lie bled pro-
fusely until the Doctor arrived and took up
the severed vein. The animal now riinii-
natcs over the exploit in his stall, but for the
wagon there are no hopes of recovery.

for a ride to Bridgeport, on Friday last, ran

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO HOSTETTER‘s STOXACII
BITTnns was struggling into notice against the prej-
udices which everything new, however excellent, is
doomed to encounter.
TO-DAY
it stands at the head of all tonic rind alterativc prepa-
rations in existence. Its celebrity has evoked many
imitations but NO vaLs. Physicians pronounce It
the ONLY sAr-E sTIiIULANT that has ever been intro-
duced into the sick chamber. In the Hospitals of
the Army and Navy, the surgeons find it_ the very
best tonic for convalescents, and report it invaluable
for sustaining the vigor oftroops on the march, as a
remcd for'scprvy and all scorbutic affections, and as
the on y sgccrfl'c for sea-sickness California and
Australia ave emphatically endorsed it as the MI-
NER’s MEDICINE par excellence, and in Spanish Amer-
ica and all the he ical climates. it is considered the
only reliable anti otc to epidemic fever.
There is no myster about the causes ofits success.
It is the only stomac lie and alterarivc in which are
combined the grand requisites of a. mild, pure, and
linvitiated vegetable stimulant, with the fluent selec-
tion of tonic, anti-billions. anti-scorbutic, a cricnt,
and depurativc herbs, plants, roots, and bar a that
hatve ever been intermixed in a medicinal prepa-
ra ion.
It is also proper to state that the Bitters are sold
exclusively in glass. and never, under any circum-
stances, by the gallon or the barrel. Imposters and
imitators are abroad, and the only safeguard the pub-
he has against them is to see that the Bitters they
buy bear the engraved label and note of hand of
Messrs. Ilostetter 8.; Smith, and the Government
stamp over the cork of the bottle.

The Florence Sewing Machine
Company-
The First Prize at Paris.
T seems that the cable telegram of June 29th, giv-
ing a list or all the prizes awarded to American
exhibitors, contained several material errors. The
gold niedalalvarded to Wheeler 5.: Wilson was for
their Button .llole Machine; not. for their Family
Sewing Machine.
At the head of Sewing Machines for the family
stands the Florence; taking precedence of all others
of all nations; thus maintaining in the "teat expo-
sitionthe rank which it has for years hel’d at home.
‘It wrll also be noticed that the veteran inventor
Llias Howe, Jr., receives the deserved honor of a
gold medal, not for his machine, but: for his services
to the world as an inventor and designer.
Extract from Letter of July 3d 1813?, from the
European Agent of the Florence ‘ewing Machine
Co., to the home office:
“We are happy to inform you that the Florence
has received the highest prize awarded to_ any sew-
ing machine for family sewing, viz: The Firstjilver
Medal. This we learnfrom an official copy of tho
awards in the hands of Messrs. Johnson A: 00., pub-
lishers of;the Catalogue.
