a general railroad law it was too late for any

not. Mr. Bartlett said that in view of these
frets and in view of the fact that this is not
a not a novel idea, he would offer a resolu-
tion to incorporate said railroad, and moved
that it be made the order of the day for
Thursday of next week at 10 o‘clock.
Mr. Graves moved to indefinitely postpone
this matter. He said that for two years the

A Medical Mayor on Smoking.
At the close of a lecture on temperance,
recently, at Bolton, England, by Mr. Rey-
nolds, the mayor, who presided over the
meeting,-said;—Much as I dread the influence
of intoxication on society, of late I have been
led to regard the- influence of tobacco, espec-
ially upon the youth of society,.as being an
evil that threatens the most disastrous e011-
sequences. The lecturer has told you that
in his/younger days smoking among youth
was‘searcely known. I can remember the
time when smoking amongst young boys
and amongst women was almost or altogeth-
er unknown. But your own experience will
tell you whether that is so or not. I believe
that in the case of young boys—young girls
don’t to my knowledge smoke—but amongst
boys of ten, eleven, twelve, and thirteen years
I am afraid that smoking is 'too prevalent.
The influence of this vice to arrest the growth
of the body is very great. I believe that a
person who begins to smoke at any time
under the years of manhogd, will never grow
to be a strong, healthy man. He will be
stunted in bodily groth, stunted. in physic-
al vigor, stunted in intcleet. Smokers are
preparing for themselves not only feeble bod-
ies and feeble minds, but they are preparing
for themselves early graves. My circumstan-
ces bring me much in contact with the youth.
fnl portion of the community’ and in many
cases I meet with children who in their dc—
velopemeut don’t seem to be above twelve
or thirteen years, but who. bring me legal
proof—the register of their birth—to show
that they are actually in some cases fourteen
and even fifteen years of age. In many-cases
1 ask them if they are smokers? They very
generally deny it, but the tainted breath gives
he lie to their statement. A great number
it‘ stunted children I believe smoke to a.
greater or less extent. This habit leads
them also in many cases to theft. I have
been surprised at the smallness ofthe num-
ber of such cases, but within the last fort-
night I have seen three or four young child
ren—for they were more children in stature,
though 14 or 15 years of age—brought up on
the charge of stealing ,tobaceo and cigars.

important and significant. Property situa»

doubled in price. Of the Bank street

the'kcen scfint for a rise in value which our

A Confession
A perfectly characteristic article, reported
to have been written by the Hon. IV. VV-
Boardman, a Director of the New York dSLTew
Haven Railroad 00., appeared in Tuesday's
New Haven Com-202', and being of so impor.
tant a character its misrepresentations and
unlruths were procured to be inserted in the
Register and Palladium of the next day. It
seems to concede the great, united, popular
demand for a second railroad outof Connec-
ticut and into New York, else why should a
writer of the Director’s well-known ability
resort to quibbliug so transpdrcnt and fa] la
cious. The writer tries to excite a distrust
on the flimsy and worn out partizan dodge,
asserting that the friends of the proposed
2d road from Derby to New York areorgan-
ized in the interest of the Republican party.
While we presume the political bias of Corr
nclius Vanderbilt, who manipulates these
movements, and who has at work 10-day the
most numerous‘and lavishly paid lobby force
that ever bored a Legislature out of its pa-
tience, is well known, we do not see whatMr.
Vanderbilt’s politics has to do with his modes
of running or dgfeating railroads. Among" the
corporators of the proposed new read am
such life-long democrats as Jonathan Camp,
Matthew Bulkley, George G. Bishop, David
D. Cooley and others, while of the rank and
file we might name about every demo-
cratic resident in the county, (who has not
been paid to not otherwise,) as earnestly and
entirely in favor of the proposed enterprise.
The same may truthfully be affirmed of Re-
publicans, so perfectly and entirely, unani-
mous is the sentiment in behalf of this eu-
terprise in Fairfield County that the New
Haven road has not attempted the circula-
tion of a petition of remonstrance, while it
is notorious that they have expended money
by the thousands in contesting it before the
Legislature. Inasmuch as it is impossible to
long deceive the people or the people's rep-
resentatives, how much more frank, 110n-
est and above board it would be to state the
case just as it is. Tell the Legislature in
plain words that you have given us a charter,
which we’have developed and found to be a
good thing and therefore we earnestly desire
that you will prevent any possible interfer-
ence with our profitable business. . Such a
plea would be honest and entitled to respect—
ful consideration. But the debauching of
men with enormous fees of money, with free
tickets, free dinners and social blandish—
ments, and worsp than‘all elso,~by down-
right lying, is not worthy Of a great corpo-
ration that boasts its ability to control and
manage the Legislatures of Connecticut.
From New Haven to Boston the passen-
ger has the choice of two routes, and the
competition ensures him reasonable fare,
comfortable coaches, and civil treatment.
From New Haven to New York there is but
one single duet by whichall the concentra—
ted business of all the New England states.
can be funneled through. Of course and of
necessity its business is enormous and its
profits large. But does this exclusive privi-
lege lead to a liberal treatment of the public ‘3
By no means. The Great King of the
American railway system is reported as say-
ing .“ damn the public, I run railroads to
make money." Certainly this has been fully
acted if not said, so far as this road is con-
cerned. At least three times has its rates of
fare been raised, until, as is now aflirmcd by
competent authority, this .monopoly road,
costing but $3,000,000, could easily pay ten
per cent. upon $15,000,000. There being no
avenue of escape, the avarice of the corpora-
tion is about the only limit to its extortion.
So that there is not a single citizen of Con-
necticut or (if all New England who goes to
New York by rail, who is not personally,
directly and pecuniarily interested in this
proposed second outlet. Another road to
New York cannot be so hard to the New
York &New Haven railroad as either the
Hartford & Springfield and Shore Line age
to each other, because the entire line may b’t‘s
said to be ,on continuous village teeming
with a thrifty, usiness population.
We certainly have no wish or desire to it.-
jurc the exceedingly valuable franchises of
the New York &New Haven road. We trust
and hope its stock will rise from 150 to 200.
,Many of its stockholders are among our
warmest personal friends and we certainly
do not wish, nor do we believe that their in-
terests are going to be seriously impaired by
the building of another road. New roads
create new business and we are more than
confident that were a second road running
to-day, it would not affect the Treasury of
the New Haven Road to the amount of one
half its cash expenditures this .very session,
fecing lawyers, suborning clerks and indi-
viduals and in the various lobbying chicani-
ries for which this corporation under its
present management has become so notori-
ous, if not offensive.
In view of the charges made in the jour-
nal referred to, by the Director aforesaid, is‘
it not a little curious that the New York 00.,
should have dismissed every democratic at-
torney it had on its lobby force last year,
and is present to-day with none but republi-
can lawyers who may be supposed to prove
more influentialwith a republican majority.
But the simple issue is this and only_this.
The people of this State and of all the New
Englandl States need another railroad to the
great commercial center of the . western
'world. The New York and New Haven
Railroad declare they shall not have it. That
they have got, and mean to keep for all time,
the undivided and exclusive privilege of ear-
rying passengers and freight at their own
prices, and none shall interfere.
We are 10th to believe that the enlightened
legislators of Connecticut are prepared to
affirm these arrogant demands. If they do,
let them enact that there shall be but one
newspaper, one steamboat line, but one
Bank and one store on the monopolized line.
The chartering of a new road would put two
thousand honest laborers to. work within
three months of its passage. It would in
five years introduce as many thousands of
new residents and add as many apd more
millions to our tax lists. Thus, beside for—
cing a healthy and just competition with
other roads, in the interest of the travelling
public, it would aid ip the extinguishment;
of our state debt, relieve the individual tax
payer by added wealth drawn to 'us, and do
no injury to the New York 8: New’ Haven
Railroad, which would continue to do all
the business it could do well (and more than
it now' does in that manner,) the people
would be benefitted monopolies limited
and “all'will be happy.”

walk. .
The day has gone by when we need to ar-
gue the importance of general education in
a community like this. All argument is
forestallcd by universal consent. . Where
there are any serious differences of opinion
they .atc rather to the methods and extent
of education, than to the general question.
In the rapid‘growth of our town, and the
advancement of its material interests, it is
of the first moment that our educational ad-
vantages do 11ot fall behind the general prog-
Few errors could be more unfortunate
than. to allm‘.r them to do so. It is not
enough that he held the past, we must keep
abreast of the improvements of the day, and
we must prepare as well for the growth of
the future. No thoughtful man can observe
the rapid development of the place and not
be impressed with the importance of laying
foundations now that shall make that devel-
opment sound, healty and permanent. How
much a good system of education has to do
with such a result we nedd not stop to Show.
verybody knows how much the character
of any place depends 011 the character of
its schools ; find what influence they have, if
they are of the right kind, in attracting
valuable families as permanent residents.
Hartford, for instance, has become one of
the most desirable places for family residen-
ces in New England 011 account of its excel-
lent system of public schools, especially its
High School, in which, without expense,
every boy that wishes can be prepared for
college or for business life, and every girl
can have advantages superior to those found
in most private institutions. Yet Hartford
has not the natural attractions that Norwalk
has. In position, in healthfulness, in won-
derful variety of scenery, in land and sea
views, in the combined advantages of'cily
and country what have we to desire ? '
If other advantages shall be equal can
Norwalk fail in future years of being the
chosen land of many families who are look-
ing for the benefits that we can so easily of-
fer thbm‘? From a merely pecuniary point
of view, it would be easytojmake a strong
argument for the verybest possible system of
education we can secure. Some. twenty
years ago it was ascertained that more than
$40,000 had been sent out of this town for
the education of children. That sum must
have greatly increased since, and is increas-
ing every year. And families are not only
discouraged from coming here, but are com-
pelled to leave to obtain the educational
privileges they need.
We believe our citizens need only to be
fully aware of the actual condition of things
in this respect, to be ready to provide the
remedy. . ‘ ’
In'another paper we propose to say some-
thing of the present condition of our schools
and to make some suggestions which we
trust may command approval, or at least
consideration. C.

The Book of Praise.
Extract from a Report of a committee appointed by
the Congregational Church in South Norwalk, to
make enquiries and recommend a suitable Book for
the use or the Congregation.
The want of a better book than the Hymn
and Time Book now in use, has been exten-
sively fcltboth by ministers add churches.
And yet this has many good hymns and
good tunes, from which the churches 'wOuld
be very unwilling to be parted. .Thc new
collections recommended as as a substitute,
and adopted by many churches, failed to
give general satisfaction. .
In the opinion of the General Association
a better book than any new in use, might be
made by a thorough revision of the book
now in use, expunging the poor hymns and
hum-drum tunes, and adding in their place
such new and choice productions as the
taste and genius of the age may supply.
To accomplish this end, at the meeting in
1866 a committee of five was appointed to
make the proposed revision, to consult with
the compilers and trustees of the old book
and with their approbation, 'to publish the
results of their labors. This committee re-
ported to the Association in 1867, and were
thereupon authorized to proceed with the
publication.
The book comes to us therefore with the
sanction of the highest ecclcasiastical body
in our connexion, and with the express rec-
ommendation of such men as Dr. Bushnell
of Hartford, Dr. Harris of Mainc,Drs. Fitch
and Bacon of New Haven, and the Pastors
of numerous churches in this and other
states who have already adopted it in pref-
erence to all others.
.The special recommendation of the work-
is that it is neither too radical nor too con-
servative. Nothing is rejected merely be-’
- casue it is old, nothing is inserted merely for
being new. The good is all retained, the
superfluous and worthless rejected. Three
or four hundred of the supcrflous versions
of the Psalms and Hymns, which we seldom
or never sing, were left out and in their
place we have two or three hundred new
hymns from the best authors, about seventy
ofwhich have never before appeared in any
American collection.
Of the tuncscvc can only say that' nearly
all the old favorites are retained, while there
is a choice variety of tunes selected from the
best authors, to which we have not before
had access, and many new tunes nevcrI be-
fore published. These last have been sung
‘ with great acceptance to amateur audiences.
The arrangement of the work is admirable,
the selection of public readings are very ju—
dicious, and the execution of the -work is
neat, tasteful and convenient. We know of
no work of the kind combining so many cx-
ccllencics and exhibiting so few serious de-
fects.
Signed in behalf of the committee,
‘ DENNIS PLATT, Chairman.

They are becoming very popular on ac‘
