Mr. Czar Jones, a prominent citizen, died
on Monday of last week at the advanced
age of 80 years.
WESTPORT.
Mussns. EDrTons:—It has been said of
those who sometimes practice undue mess--
arcs of fasting, that when the pcriodof ab-
stinence and self-denial has passed the devo-
tees rush headlong to an opposite extreme,
gorging themselves with an amount of food
sufilcient in quantity to make up for lost
time. Now, having remained compflfialwc'
1y silent for a short season, this picture
may not inaptly represent the position
of your humble correspondent, if he shall
be found spinning his yarn beyond its usual
extent. From present indications there is
no special fear that you will be over lur-
dened with a. tale of great length, for in look-
ing about me, I find great dearth in subjects.
I see immense fields, but they look barren,
and on investigation, the soil is found to be
sterile, and not inclined to yield much with-
out an amount of vigorous digging. The
Post Office question, upon which, during
the spring we have lived—thrived, and
grown fat,—a theme which has been so preg-
nant with ideas, and has produced on us
and our readers such fructifying results, is
now settled, and we feel that in some meas-
ure “our occupation is gone.” We feel, as
the Editor of, the New York Herald would
feel, were there ' n'o Tribune and Horace
Greeley to “pitch into.” . ~ . .
The movement lately made in the parish
of the Memorial Church to establish con-
gregational singing, has met with fair suc-
c338. The first. rehearsal took place in the
Church on Friday last and was attended by
a number of Chfirch members, all of whom
at the conclusion, felt encouraged to give
the experiment further aid & attention. The
second ’rehearsal takes place on Friday Eve.‘
next.
After a sojourn of nine months in Europe
passing a winter in Italy, Mr. & Mrs. F.’
Burritt and Mother retarned to their home
on Sabbath last. Their entire journey was
made without accident of any kind, and they
come back to Westport much improved in
health, and just in time to see the trees bloom
and hear the birds sing. -
Work on the Saugatuck Carriage Bridge,
progresses. The planking of Westport
Bridge—,up-town, is nearly completed. The

As Mr. All stus Genung and two ladies

in taming a corner, and Mr. Genung’s leg

also somewhat injured. , '
Tramps have been “operating” in the vi-

We have received an advance copy of
the Director’s Report of the above corpora-
tion for their approaching annual meeting.
The figures are a mine of interesting and
profitable study to those who take pleasure
in the growth and development of the coun-
try and the increasing prosperity of its rail-
road corporations. For instancetits mtprof-
its prove that a railroad costing a little less
than three millions of dollars is capable of
earning a million a year to its stockholders
and that too, in the face of at least not the
best of management.
There are thesus‘picious items'of -
Legal Expenses, , ' $23,519 88
“General Expenses” $40,430 63
“Agents” and Clerks, $48,776 87
Making a total of $112,727 38
Yet despite these expenditures, they show
a dividend balance on hand'of $777,359 04
out of a total of receipts of $2,163,875 34
which is at least a “healthy” condition for a
road soterribly afraid of competition.
The following is an exhibit in condenscd
form of the business for the past year:
Recelpts for Transportation, See. 82,163 875 34
Transportation Expenses. 14.312344 0!!

Supt. Hoyt reports to the Directors in the
following justly encouraging manner :—
“It affords me much pleasure to be able
to report- to you that ' both Passenger
and Freight Trains have, as here-
tofore, been run with great re ularity and
safety during the past year. ’ here have
passed over the Road 9,158 Passenger 1,674
Freight trains, the former conveying 2,256,-
590 p lssengers, AND Dunnsc TEE PAST THIR-
TEEN YEARS, ENDING MARCH 31st,1869, 18,-
571,087 PASSENGEHS HAVE BEEN TRANSPORT-
ED ovnrt THE NEW YORK AND NEW HAVEN
RAILROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT TO ANY
TRAIN, WHILE ON THAT ROAD, THAT CAUsED
THE Loss or A SINGLE LIFE on LlM'B To ANY
PASSENGER so TRANSPORTED.
The information is still further furnished
that we are to have, withthe aid of the con-
necting Boston Lines ten new passenger
cars four of which are to be “compartment”
cars. This is certainly encouraging and by
the time thence) road is completed, we hope
to see the New York & _New Haven Rail-
road what it always should have been, one
of the best- managed and equipped roads in
the country. Its enormous incomes out of
the pockets of the people, only proves how
culpable it is that it is not so now. But
success to their every honest endeavor.

m‘ The last rail connecting the Union
and Central Pacific Railroads was probably
laid to-day (Monday), and the line completed
“ Across the Continent.” The, event was
expected to have been consummated on
Saturday, but a heavy storm interfered. The
day was celebrated, however, in most of the
Western cities, and to-day the ‘event has
been celebrated in several eastern cities.

WA letter from Camp Wachita, dated
April 23d, says :—“A rumor is rife in the
camp that Lieut. Jacobs and 15 men of the
6th Infantry, who were sent as an escort for
the philantrophist Vincent Colyer to Fort
Bascoth, New Mexico, were attacked at the
head of the waters of the Wachita'River,
and held two days by the Indiahs,.whcn
they escaped under cover of the night. The
report comes from Indian sources.”
“ The removal'of the Post-ofiicethere does
not give general satisfaction. The P. M.
saves by the operation $150 a year in'his
rent, and had he made known his intention
of removing he would have got his rent free,
by a contribution from the merchants, to
remain in his old room, where it has been
for about twelve years. The new room is
in a very unhealthy location, is very damp,
etc., as the former occupant could testify,
byhaying been obliged to keep a constant
supply of articles on hand to counteract
dampness, and our worthy P. M. may be
obliged to keep up the supply to secure im-
munity from the trouble.”
The above is from a Norwalk correspon-
dent of the Bridgeport Farmer. We think
he must be one of the mourners by. the
burden of his song. The statements are all
untrue; more than $150 per year is saved
in rent; “Ohis intention to remove" was
fully known to his former neighbors, but no

ever made until the present location had
been secured, and he in honor bound to
occupy it; on the other hand the business
men of that locality manifested entire in-
difference towards the proposed change of
location—one of them remarking “ that it
' would make no difi‘erenee in his business.”
The statement that“ the new location is
very unhealthy,” the room damp, etc., is
really amusing. As we have been located
in business from our boyhood within a
stones throw of the new room, and never
heard that such was the case, we conclude
that the writer’s imagination must be very
vivid.
We are not aware that “ the fermer occu-
pant” was troubled particularly by the
“ dampness ;" but this we do know, that
neighbor Swan’s harnesses are hard to beat,
and always warranted to stand the weather,
and that he is still able (in spite of the
dampness). to filrnish the public, at his new
stand, near-his residence,'with as good 'an
article in his line :as' can be'found in‘ the
county. 1 As for our 1?. M, we think that,
inasmuch as he is a cold water man, he will
be able to stand all the vapor there may be
in his new room, together with the captm’nga
of this worthy correspondent.

“ Miss Maria Brainerd, of New York, on
this Occasion made her debut in Philadelphia,
and from the impression she made, she need
‘ have no tirnidity about again presenting her-
self for public favor, as she is prime done of
more than ordinary excellence, and took the
house by storm by the superority‘ of her up-
per reglster, especially in its strength, clear-
ness and volume of tone. She is wilhall a
most prepossessing artist as to her personnel,
and she createda most favorable impression,
which will remain permanently to her cred-
it. ' ‘

W A New York paper tells the follow-
ing: “Friday, the conductor of the 4.45 N.
Y. C New Haven train, locked the doors of
one of the cars upon a. passenger who had
nlifiaken the trainfor the Harlem, and who
wished to get off at Harlem. It is a rule of
the New Haven Co. that any person riding
on their trains to Harlem, shall pay Mount
Vernon fare, but this the passenger objected
to, when the conductor tookit into his head
to lock him up and carry him to Mount Ver-
non. :As the train approached the Harlem
bridge, however, the offending passenger
coolly shiver-ed the front door completely to
atoms, and made his exit."
