Derby a— State Line n. n.
Thisptiblic measure after having passed
the House by the overwhelming vote of 115
to 10, Was defeated Friday in the Senate on a
vote to continue to next year, by 14 to 5.
It is needless for us to express Our regrets or
our indignation at this result and the dis-
graceful means resorted to by the N. Y. & N.
II. Railroad to accomplish this end. Had
our Senate numbered one hundred instead of
twenty-one, the people would have had their
rights secured them, but there being but a
. few men to purchase, cajole, or intimidate,
it was not a hard task to compass the result
with the whole treasury of that giant cor-
poration to draw from. So it has cost the
New Haven road a hundred thousand dol-
lars to defeat this competing road, we pro-
pose that it shall cost them five times that
another year. With the Railroad Commit-
tee wholly given over to them at the ouiSct
of the session, every appliance that cupidity
and cunning could devise was resorted to to
defeat the public weal and will. Recusant
Senators were made the guests of the Presi-.
dent Of ' the New Haven Road, or of his
friends. Where the Senator was a member
of a Law firm, the home attorney was richly
feed, theparties most active and instruement-
al in procuring the nomination and election
of a given Senator was sent for and hired to
secure the obligated’ Senator‘s vote, and
where all failed. then some stockholder in
the Senatbr’s districtwas importuned to write
him, and get all others he could to urge the
Senator against the measure. The state-
ment was openly and currently made all
about the Legislature that any one could
have from two to five thousand dollars who
would secure a Senator’s vote against the
measure. The people will draw their own
conclusions and hide their time. .
The strangest thing connected with this
whole movement, is that New Haven and
Bridgeport, a'thousand times more interest-
ed and to be bencfittcd, than' Norwalk, or
any smaller town, should be so indifferent as
'to the result. New Haven, it is true, has
spoken through her city government, been
rebuked by the paid attorney of the New
Haven Read, and Bridgeport proposes to
use her city government to enter a protest
against another railroad being built there.
If the people Of Bridgeport can dispense
with a competing shorter and quicker road,
' we think Norwalk corporators will not in.
sist upon its running thither.

HOT! HOTTEE it HOTTEST! ! ! HOTTENTOT-
EsT ! i ! l—The first four days of the past week
the thermometer ranged hig than before
for twenty-five years. The heat, especially
in-the cities, was almost intolerable. ' Hun-
dreds of deaths occurred in-New York from
sun stroke and the misery Of the poor in the
tenement houses, was terrible beyond de-
scription.
W Tile Borough authorities have return-
ed to gas for the street lamps. We do not
know upon what terms of compromise the
difficulty has been settled, but allwill rejoice
' that it is over. The “Kerosene" half was
neither creditable to our Borough officers Or
the Gas Company.

had' enterprise enough to keep a watering

ahead with its works. We shall see.

WThe New Haven Papers laid great
stress upon the fact that theDerby and State

ed it was not needed and ought n to be
granted. How was it about the Shore Line
and the Air Line Bridges,across the Connec-

versely, or was this season, the first of their

W‘John L. Swift it is said tells the follow-

and Blair .with a party or Bostonians were
on a fishing trip down the bay when, as the
story runs, Blair’s temperance principles ov-
ercame him and he fell’i‘nto a stupid. slum-
ber. While in this state (the state Of Massa-
chusetts), the party sailing by a .lehster/
smack, one of the» largest, was purchased
and the breast of the stupefied hero being
laid bare, the lobster was laid thereon. No
sooner did he begin to ply his cold and
clammy claws upon the naked flesh Of our to
be Vice President, than he opened his eyes
and glaring around in horror exclaimed—
“tremens at last ! Just as I expected i” We
opine that Frank Will, “awake some fine
morning next November, to find that he has
simply had another lobster placed on him,
by the New York Convention. '

City Charter.
Our City Charter has now passed both
houses of the Legislature, and will soon be
before our people for ratification. It remains
to be seen how many can be humbuggcd by
lies about taxation and other exaggerations,
sufficiently to vote agains't it. When a lady
can’t safely walk between our two villages
in open day light without insult and assault,
we think it time some sort Of improved mu-
nicipal government ought to be inaugurated.
WThe Legislature will probably adjourn
this week. The Senate at least, ought to go
home and hide themselves. The'Free School
Bill has passed and also thc'elcction laws.

Center School.
The present term of this school closes on
Friday next, when the children will be given
a five weeks vacation, Mr. Bacon, the popu-
lar and efficient principal, we regret to hear
has adhered to his previously announced in-
tention of leaving at the close of the term.
The School under his administration has
constantly and rapidly improved, and his dc-
voted attention to his duties has secured for
him the respect and confidence of our peo-
ple. While we regret to part with him, we
are glad to be assured that the committee
have secured the services of a gentleman as
his successor who will undoubtedly not only
maintain but advance the present high char-
acter of the school. Mr. Fairbanks, whO' is
to be the new principal, a brother of one Of
the assistant teachers, is a graduate of one
of our best colleges, has had several years
experience as principal Of a High School in
Massachusetts, and comes to us bearing high
recommendations as a gentleman and a
scholar. No other changes are contemplat-
ed.

AN ErIsODE.—-Conductor Strickland of the
new Haven road, who is one of the most obli-
ging, as well as delicate Of mortals, was re-
cently placed in circumstances that would
have tried the nerves Of the most heroic. Just
after leaving NorwalkStation last Thursday
morning, he observed a lady in great appar-
ent agitation and exhibiting unmistakable
the cause, with true professional courtesy he
advanced and interrogated tenderly. “Lost
your ticket, madam?” A flush and a pallor
instantly followed the question and with in
creased exhibition of nervousness, she an-_
swered—“No-o, I—’v-e g-o-t a-a tli-rLO-u-g-h
t-i-c-k-e’, but I’ll h-a-v-e to g—e-t a stop over.”
By this timc,pobr Strickland, who is with-
all, a family man, saw that the ‘_‘ through
ticket” would speedily have to be exchanged
for the “stop over,” and nearing Stamford,
she was carefully removed to the depot,
where, on his return he was relieved to find
the Object of his solicitude with a nice wee
girl baby by her side—mother and child do-
ing well. May all good ladies traveling that

W‘What has become of that Street.
'nno Bull.
The weather makes no difference with ball
playing, and lovers Of the exciting sport
indulge ip the play on the ice with
mercury at zero, or under the scorching rays
of the sun at 100° above with apparent in-
difference. Several hot games were played
last week,and while the weather wilted down
everything else the interest in base ball flour—
ished amazingly everywhere. Locally, the
games between the Monitor club, Of Water-
bury, and the Liberty and Alert clubs of this
place, attracted much attention, and were
witnessed by great crowds Of spectators.
The first game came off on the Liberty
Grounds, Friday afternoon, commencing at
about 3 o’clock and lasting three hourr.
Liberty appeared with several important
changes in the nine, and much interest was
manifested to see how the boys would play.
The result was satisfactory to the friends of
the club, and it was generally cOnceded that
the nine wa‘c the strongest played this sea~
son. Liberty went to the bat and make an
auspicious commencement, scoring four runs,
the Monitors followed scoring 3. Next in-
nings Liberty was handsomely whitewashed,
but kept their opponents down to 1, thus
closing even, on the third inning Liberty
made 5 runs, kept the Monitors down to 2,
and succeeded in keeping ahead through the
game. On the 5th inning, however, they were
whitewashed in first-rate style, but returned
the compliment on the 7th inning. The 9th
inning was very exciting and was played
sharply bythc Monitors and rather nervous-
ly by the Liberty, but resulted in favor of
the latter club, giving them the game by 3
runs. ‘
The best of good feeling prevailed
throughout the game, and Capt. Quinn at
the Close passed over the ball to Liberty
with the good natured remark that they“had
fairly won it.” The game was close through-
out, and well played by both sides, and the
spectators was lavish in their applause. Al-
though beaten the Waterbury boys had
nothing to feel bad about. Quinn as catch-
er, was splendid ; Morris put in (we can
hardly say pitched in,) the ball swiftly and
play cd his points sharp; the Ladd in the
Center field made several brilliant catches,
and generally the play of the club was ad-
mired. Of Liberty we have ‘not room to say
much ; their ninc was strong, should be
kept together, and practice constantly.
Quintar-d appeared as catcher for the first
time, and gave much promiseof future well
doing; Church did better than ever before ;
Buttery was first-rate, while Campbell and
Meeker won constant applause.

Saturday morning the game with the
Alerts was played on the same grounds, last-
ing over four hours. The Monitors went to
the bat, scored 5 and white-washed the Alerts
—-a brilliant commencement. The 2d inning
however they got 0 and the Alerts 2, which
looked better. Third, another 0 for Alert
and. 3 for Monitor, and then 0 for Monitor
and 1 for Alert. 0n the sixth, the Alert by
fine batting scored 7 and their stock went up.
The next they made 0'. The last inning was
very exciting and played with all the skill
and strategy possible; the Monitors secured
4 and the Alerts 5, the game closing in favor
of the Monitors by two runs. Both sides
exerted themslves, and played sharply and
the Alerts need not feel sorely for they had a
strong nine to contend with and the remem-
brance that they had once beatenhhem. They
propose playing the 3rd game next month
in Bridgeport. At the commencement Of the
game, Lypn was ruled out, but his place
well filled by Beers, only six of the first nine
appeared, but the vacancies were ably filled.
0f the six members of the first nine pres-
ent, we are assured that none of them were
physically able to play, Foulks especially
being “under the weather,” having had a
chill the night before. They deserve the
credit of making a good game under the cir-
cumstances, and we hope when the third
game is played that they will all be 0. K. '
and bring home the ball.

for a loan.and was told by one of the com-
mittee to whom I made my application that
they “ had no money,” otherwise they would
be glad to let me have it. Now they could
have all the money likely to be asked for,
for building purposes, if they would do as
you suggest, and how much safer , it would
be for’ the Bank and better for all our tax-‘
payers and the place, if they would adopt the
rule of aiding, tO some extent at least, every
man who will build a house. I wish you
would publish in your Gazette the report
they make to the Legislature and let the
people see for themselves, if you and I am
not right, Messrs. Editors. MECHANIC.

the Report as desired, but have not room to-
day; we Will do so another week however.
Our correspondent we think right in his
criticisms, and yet the Managers of the Bank
must have adue proportion of their funds so
invested that they may immediately and
without notice, be turned into money. .This
of course could not always or even general-
ly, be done on house and lot mortgages,
though unquestionably, the safest and best
of all their securities.

[g‘Some Of our democratic friends are
anxious to know if the democratic candidate
for the Vice Presidency is any relation to
Gen. Blair who delivered the Lincoln eulogy
in Norwalk Hall last Spring. ‘ Truth com-

fact is the identical man himself. Frank,

the democracy of Norwalk, and twice has
blair-ed his audience out Of the Hall. He
received every note in the late Convention,—

the republics ominee for governor Of that
state, is a self-made man. He is 65 years of
age, and one of the wealthiest men in the
state, and acquired his fortune by his own
industry. He has been very liberal with
his hard-earned riches. The Blairstown

which was recently destroyed by fire, is
being rebuilt at Mr. Blair’s expense. Sever-

Death of Rev. Henry Dencdlcl.
The hearts of many readers of the Gazette
will be surprised and' pained by this an»
nounccment. Another faithful and success-
ful minister of Christ rests from his labors,
having been smitten down by apopiexy.
Rev. Henry Benedict, second son of J OhIl
Benedict, Jr. and Jane Raymond, was born
in Norwalk, Jan. 22d, 1796. He was gradu-
ated at Yale College in 1822, studied theol-
ogy at Andover’; married Mary Betts, young-
est child of Stephen Lockwood (who sur-
vives him), and after preaching for a time in
Saratoga County, New York, became pastor
of the First Congregational church in Nor-
walk, August 13th, 1828 ; was dismissed, at
his own request, on account of impaired
health, Feb. 22d, 1832.
After regaining his health he was pastor of
the Bowery Congregational church, in New
York city ; of the Congregational church, at
Westport, Conn, and Of the Prtfliyterian
church, Portchester, New York.
. It is not attempted at this time to give ac-
curate and detailed account of his life and
Of his work.
His ministry in Norwalk, though brief,
will be held in grateful and everlasting re-
membrance, as that of a most earnest, loving,
devout and useful ,servant of the Master
whom he adored. It may be said of him, in
a word, as of Barnabas, “He was a good
man, and full Of the Holy Chest, and Of
faith; and much people was added unto the
Lord." In the year 1831 nearly one hundred
and fifty persons were added to the First
Congregational church under his ministry.
His funeral takes place tO-day(Tuesday),
in-Portchester, at 2 O'clock. Cars leave this
.Station at 1:18, returning leave Portchester
at 5:07, p. m.
Death of Hon. Willis Hall. ,
The New York papers of last week con-
tained notices of the decease of this gentle-
man formerly distinguished as a Whig law-
yer, orator and statesman, and as anAttor-
ney general of the State of New York. Sev-
eral years ago he suffered a partial paralysis
which caused him to seek seclusion. ‘
Mr. Hall was the valcdictoriau of the
class of 1824 at Yale College. During the
last year of his college Course he was the
principal of the Norwalk Academy which
stood on “The Green,” the successor of Hon
Hawley Olmstcad, and predecessor of his
cousin Rev. Edwin Hall, D.- D. _ He. is re-
membered by his surviving pupils as an ad-
mirable teacher, an elegant scholar, and an
accomplished gentleman. He died at the
age of 67. ‘
WGenersl John L. Swift, a Massachu-
settes politician, went to New York to see
Chase nominated. He has since come out
in a speech for Grant.

' Q” The West contains . report, Of a
speech delivered before tlfe D ocratic Em-
pire Club in that city, on Monday evening,
Capt. Ryndcrs in the 'chair, by Mr. Quigley,
a colored gentleman from Georgia, and an
attendant from that State upon the Tam-
many Hall National Convention. He took
.high Democratic ground, and declared that
it would be folly to give the mass of the col-
ored population the ballot, as they would not
exercise the right of sufi'rage intelligently.
Mr. Quigley is one of the most eminent Con-
servative negroes in the South. Without in-
tending‘to, go into the merits of the case, the
policy initiated by Capt Rynders is wise,
and we hope to see it carried out all over the
North during the canvass. . Let the Demo.-
crats bring on their best negro critters from
the.South, mount them on their platforms,
and let them demonstrate the inferiority of
the race and their unfitness to hold the bal-
lot.
WAmong the committee appointed by the
Democratic Convention to erect 'a platform
for the candidates who are to be defeated by
Grant and Colfax next November, were Gen.
Wade Hampton an original secessionist, who
was among the first, to enter the War and
among the last toleave it, refusing to submit
even after the surrender ofhis superior ofliccr
Joseph E. JohnsOn; William Preston,Rcbel
General Of Kentucky, who went into the
War for Secession though his State remained
In the Union; Barksdale, a Rebel General of
Kentucky; Langdon, a Rebel editor Of
Louisiana; and Bocock, S eaker of the
Lower House of ' the Rebel egislaturc Of
Virginia. Pardon and for iveness are good
pdiicy as well as sound- hristian virtues;
but is it exactly fitting that the menwho took
the lead in tryine to break up the Union
should take e feed in framingnits govern-
ment as soon as their treason has been defea-
ted '.—N. Y. . 'bune.

W'l‘he treaty with China, which has late-
ly been drawn up by the state department
of the United States, and will no doubt be
ratified by the Senate, is, in the present and
future advantages which it implies, one of
the most important acts of the age. The
specifications of this treaty are of the most
liberal nature. They provide for free com-
mercial intercourse between the two nations
and free traverse of the two countries. Not
only are the seaports Of China to be open to
our traders, but also the inland ports, situ-
ated along the banks of the mighty rivers
which flow through the empire. Americans
are permitted to reside and prosecute busi-
ness in China cities. Our Governm in turn
ofi‘ers advantageous facilities for trade and
ment on the Pacific coast, and agrees to as-
sist the Chinese government in the ordinar
terms Of equal powers. -

ULATED SMOKING TOBACCO. This tobacco Is
not surpassed in flavor by any; being manufactured
from only the best Virginia and North’Carolma TO-
bucco, perfectly free from adultcratiou; It does not
ieave that unpleasant taste or fonlness in the mouth
so usual afier smoking other forms of tobacco, nor
does it cause a room where it is smoked to become so
offensive. Owing to its anulatcd state. this Tobac-
co never rises in the pipe when lit, whilelall other
smoking tobacco does, often falling upon the clothes,
and burning or soiling them.
