The Legislature.

This memorable body has broughtits la-
bors to a close. The session has been short
and the time dilligently employed. It was
composed in the main, of substantial men of
probity and character and the legislation
upon the whole has been wise and benefic-
ial. Never were men so importuned and
set upon by the lobby. The Camden & Am-
boy corporation of Connecticut, resorted In
every appliance that money could purchase
to perpetuate thei'r monopoly. From every
member of Congress, up or down to Schlci-
gel backed by two-thirds of the legal frater-
nity of the state with an unscrupulous use
of the corporation treasury, it is not surpris-
ing that the greatest measure ofpublic ben-
efit was defeated for this year. Where ev—

ery citiien of the state is directly and P91“
sonally interested to the extent of twenty-
five to forty per cent. upon all fares paid on
the only Railroad to New York, it cannot
be long before competition will be‘permit-
ted in the business of Railroading as in ev-
erything else. Another year will bring a Leg-
islature together, that will not refuse the
poor privilege of expending six millions of
dollars in our state, and enhancing property
value ten million: more. We can wait.

The most important measures of the ses-
sion have been :

The ratification of the Fifteenth Amend—
ment. .

The defeat of the Parallel Railroad pro-
ject for a roadbetween Derb . and Green-
wich‘ on the New York State Inc. .

Resolutions proposing constitutional
amendments providing for biennial elections
&c.; for change of capital to Meriden (the
House amended in favor of Hartford) were
all defeated, excepting the latter, which
passed and is continued. A proposed
amendment, striking out the word “white
from the Constitution, was continued to the
next session of the General Assembl .

Bill amendin the charters of the onnec-
ticut Western, onnecticut Valley, Air-Line
and Shepaug Valley Railroads, so as to ena-
ble towns to subscribe to the stock of these-
roads, where a majority vote is obtained,
provided the vote is based on a major part
of the taxable property of the town—pass—

ed.

Bill establishilig courts of common pleas
in Hartford and ew Haven counties, and
another bill providing for an extra term of
.the superior court in Fairfield and New
Haven counties—passed.

Resolution repealing the law of 1807,
which directed the Comptroller not to draw
orders in flavor of the normal school (refes-
tablishing the school—passed.

Report of temperance committee, accom-
panying bill for the appointment of State,
constables, to enforce the prohibitory law—
continued to next session, on the recom-
mendation of the committee.

Bill changing the divorce law ofthe State,
providing for divorces only in cases of adul-
tery, lunacy and fraud, and separating from
bed and board in other cases—continued to
next session.

Bill for a general railroad law—indefinite-
ly postponed. .

Bill for the appointment by the Governor
of State chemists to analyze intoxicating
liquors, under the law against adulteration
—-passed. ~ '

Bills extending time for the construction
of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad to
July 4th, 1875 ; incorporatin Derby and
Southbury, Rockville and W' 'mantic, Staf-
ford and Springfield, Farmin ton Valley,
Windsor and Simsbury, Danie sonville and
(Rhode Island) State Line, Sufileld and
Windsor Locks,Waterbury and Waterlown,
and Meriden and Cheshire Railroads ; au-
thorizing Hartford and New Haven road to
increase capital stock $3,000,000, and New
Haven and Northampton road $1,000,000 ;
and authdi'izing a lease of the New London
Northern road to the Boston, Hartford and
Eric road ; also authorizing extension of
Naugatuck road from Winsted to State line
—severally passed.

Those roads which have been so thor-
oughly and creditably worked by Supt.
Ely, have developed a most wonderful crop
of stones, and'nnless that “Cobbler” is soon
put into requisition, we shall have lame
horses, broken chaises, fractured ribs and
disordered digestions in a woeful admixture.

and boys clear our highways of these Potions

w Religious services were held on the
“ Mount,” near Ram Island, of our harbor,
last Sabbath. Rev. D. R. Austin ofliciatec’,
and preached a sermon. The fishermen and
others inhabiting the Islands, and a number
of our citizens attended, and a delightful
service was the result. . It is proposed to
hold another service at the same place next
Sabbath, the 18th inst, at 11 a. m., and the
public are invited to attend.

 

We are again indebted to C. J. Gruman
for a lot of those early'Rose Potatoes. They
were very large and fine, and decidedly the
best potatoes we ever eat. He is now pre-
pared to accommodate the farmers of this
vicinity with seed in any quantity at reason-
prices.

 

I?” The vote by counties on the Parallel
railroad in the House of Representatives
shows that Hartford, New Haven, Fairfield,
Middlesex, and Tolland counties gave ma-
jorities for the road and Windham, New
London and Litchfield against it.

13‘ At the New York state election the
amended constitution is not to be voted on
as an entire instrument, but each citizen may
cast four-ballots, to wit: “For or against the
amended constitution, the judiciary article,
the uniform rule 'of assessment and taxation
of real and, personal property, and the prop-

 

., erty qualification of colored men. ‘

l

The New Cemetery Prtojecr.

The Committee raised for the purpose, 80'

companied by sundry influential citizens,

made a circuit of the grounds pr0posed 10

be appropriated to that use, 011 Wednesday

last. All were satisfied that if an enterprise

of the proposed magnitude was’ to .be at-

tempted, there were no grounds m the

whole town so conveniently accessible to

all parts thereof, or which combined such

rugged features of broken surface and pic-

turquuc beauty. The‘gcneral outline may

be described briefly as commencing at a

point in the woods West of the residence of
Mrs. L. M. Stevens, to which the road front-
ing her residence on Prospect Hill should
be extended, with the Highway coming
down from James Benedict’s to be cut
through to the Connecticut Turnpike,thencc
on its western line to the easterly line of the
old West Norwalk road, and bearing north-
erly by the old lane coming out near the
residence of the Widow Finney, and thence
proceeding around by the new bridge school
house, to the land of John Jarvis on Spring
Hill road, from whence it cuts across with a
public highway in a direct line to junction
with the road fronting the James Benedict
place aforesaid. Within this oblong circuit
it is estimated that there are about five hun-
dred acres. While much of it, is charming-
ly rough and rocky, with'three living brooks
running through its multiplied ravines, and
beautifully susceptible of lakes and ponds,
the major part of these grounds are warm,
gravelly soil and well adapted to the pur-
poses of sepulchrc. They are thickly stud-
ded with forest trees, and the wildness of
their general features are far in excess of
either Greenwood or Mormt Auburn.

From the bridge they are of easy access,
either by carriage or on foot, from the Spring
Hill road. While from all the sec-
section of upper Main Street, Winnipauk
and Silver Mine’,a convenient entrance may
be had at the point near New Canaan bridge.
West Norwalk may find convenient access
at the point near the old Hawley homestead
while Five Mile River and South Norwalk
are peculiarly well accommodated at the
southernmost end of its somewhat elongo-
gated neck.

These grounds pCssess in themselves so
many features of rare 'beauty and attract-
iveness, that as little or as much money as
may be available can be employed for'their
further improvement. 01‘ course it would
be a great number of years before all the
desirable plots for burial ‘were purchased or
required to be withdrawn from the general
enclosure. But just here is its very best
feature. By its extent it is made self-surr-
porting and self-maintaining for all coming
time. For the present generation all the
portions not employed for burial lots may
be interspersed with winding roadways, and
serve as a most attractive and delightful
driveway or walk for the meditative lover
of nature’s wilds and solitudes, and so fast
as needed the Park feature must give way.to
the encroaching necessities of sepulchrc.

By the Charter of the Association, no
speculation or money making is possible to
anybody, save to those who in the first in-
stance sell their lands to the Corporation.
From the beginning but fifty per cent. ofall
its resources can be applied to the cancella-
tion of its purchase obligations, the other
fifty being sacredly applied to beautifying
and improving the grounds; while upon fi-
nal payment of original cost of the grounds
every dollar thenceforward is to be devoted
to improvements. This we are aware is a
novel feature, but it is the only one which
should be tolerated in so holy and sacred a
trust as providing fitting burial grounds for
our dead. _

From the encouragement the enterprise
has thus far received, we feel an unusual de-
gree of confidence that it will succeed. An
outline map is to be immediately made- and
the quantity and cost of the ground as near-
ly determined as may be, when Mr. Olm-
stcad, who laid out the Central Park, or
some other competent landscape engineer
will be employed to revise and suggest
such modifications of lines ”and locations as
circumstances may seem to render expedi-
ent.

 

Wln the wrangle for extra milages at
the close of the Legislative session Repre-
sentative Bullock put in the hard hit that
members should bear in mind that never be-
fore had a Connecticut Legislature been so
' lavishly supplied with free sides over the
railroads. We hope this very small species
of petty manipulation of a Legislature, may
cease with this expired and noted body.

WAt the Town Meeting held On Friday
afternoon last, Joseph F. Foote, Esq., Mod-

Bouton Street, Hoyt Street, and Bailey
Street, at Springwood,bc legally laid out
and worked so as to be reasonably passable
with loaded teams, and to make the necessa-
ry appropriations therefor from the Town
Treasury: Forty-three persons voted in the ~
affirmative, and none iu‘thc negative. As
the new law rcquires at least fifty concur-
ring votes on motions where an expense
is involved of over $50, the “above unani-
mous vote is of no effect.

. Moved that the Selectmen be directed to
take legal measures to Clear the highway
leading from Water Street to the Danbury
Railroad Freight House of all obstructions
and put in order to accommodate public
travel. Carried 27 to 1.

Moved, that such portion of West Main

cepted as a public highway, and to be
worked and put in good travelling repair,
the expense to be paid from the Treasury.
Carried. No opposing vote.

Moved, that the matter of widening,

No opposition. ’

Our Boroagh Limits. ,
The following are the limits of the Bor-

naan; thence southerly to the intersection
of the center lines of the Connectcut Turn-
pike and Gosling Brook; thence north, east,
south and east and following the voting dis-
trict line to a point in the channel of the

hundred feet Northerly of said Sticky Plain
road : thence southwesterly to the point of

Among other important changes. the
amendment provides that “The Court of

thority to lay cut, open, make, discontinue
alter, extend, enlarge, repair,maintain, grade
and drain all highways and streets and all
parts thereof now existing or hereafter to be

uary, 1871, and there shall be no election on
the first Monday 0f December, 1869. John
A. Weed and Asa B. Woodward, both of
Norwalk, and a third person by them desig-
nated, shall act as a Board of Registration

WThe Allerton Iron Works Manufac-
turing Company, builders of Steam Fire En-
gines, are removing their works from Nau-
gatuck to Norwalk,having taken B. Z. Nor-
ton’s Factory, at the lower village. This
company was organized in June, 1808, and
got out their first engine in September. Af-
ter some opposition, which, of course, was
not unexpected, they managed to introduce
one of their Machines into the New York
Fire Department. This machine was liked
so well that contracts were at once made for
others, and five of their machines are now
in use in the Fire Department, and the Com-
pany have orders for more. The Fire Com-
missioners, we understand, pronounce this
engine the best in use. Finding their busi-
ness increasing fast, the compliny found it
necessary to increase their Capital and
Works, and at the same time remove to a
point where they could have the advantages
of both water and railroad communication
with New York. When here in the Spring
exhibiting one of his engines, Mr. Stevens,
the Superintendent, became favorably im-
‘pressedrwith Norwalk and the advantages
of location, etc. Ameeting of our citizens
was held, 'the necessary capital was sub-
scribed, and the Works secured, although
other places made the Company liberal
ofi'ers.‘ The future is bright with promise,
hnd we trust their hopes will be realized.

.city in the
New ork Railroad, which is to form the
western end of the parallel road .of Con-u
necticut, over which there has recently been
so bitter a fi ht in the LCgISIature of Con-,
necticut. T e road from Port Chester to
this'city is built under a charter granted by
the-State of New York-and Is opposed by
the Harlem and New York and New Haven
Companies. As originally granted, this
charter prohibited the Company from run-
ning their road througll_ any private or
pleasure grounds, unless u'lth the consent of
the "owners. The existing- railroad com-
panies, by securing certain lands on the line
of the proposed new road, and claiming
them as “pleasure groundS.” succeeded in
preventing the building of the rival line.

The franchise subsequently passed into
the hands of Mr. LeGrand Lockwood, who
succeeded in securing an amendment to the
charter so as to enable the Company to se-
cure a right of way, with the same restric-
tions only and in the same manner as other
companies. ‘ ~ :

Under this amended charter, two routes
have been surveyed from Port Chester to
the Harlem river, and contracts are now
being made for the grading of the road. The
work will be pushed with the utmost vigor,
and is expected to be, completed this fall.
The road will run nearly parallel to the New
Haven and Harlem roads, and will intersect
every point at which those, lines have sta-
tions, thus opening direct oompetition with
them to Morrisania; Williams Bridge, Mt.
Vernon, New Rochelle, Memaroneck, Rye,
Port Chester, and intermediate stations.

The road strikes the Harlem river, at a
point opposite the terminus of the-Second
Avenue Railroad, and will make connection
with the lower part of the city over that
line. The Second Avenue Company had
a charter for a bridge comes the Har—
lem river, which has been sold to Mr
Lockwood in the interest of the new road,
and work has already been commenced on
its foundation. - ' '

Mr. Lockwood’s Company has also pur-
chased nine hundred feet of river frontage
on the east side of the Harlem river, upon
which to erect their depot buildings and
freighthouscs. They propose to run their
freight cars from this point to the lower part
of the city upon ferry boats‘, constructed ex-
pressly for the purpose, making landings in
the vicinity of Catherine street ferry and
Burling slip, With facilities at those points
for receiving and disposing of freight with
more promptitude than can be secured at
the contracted depot in Centre street, and
alsonvoiding the long transport by horse
power to the Harlem river. '

The arrangements made and making for
this road contemplate something more than
the small piece of road from this city to Port
Chester. As intimated above, this 15 but the
western end of a parallel‘vroad to New Ha-
ven. The eastern end of the road, from
New Haven to Derby,is now under contract
under an old charter. The charter for the
connecting section, from Port Chester to
Derby, was defeated by one vote In the Con-
necticut Senate,.and thirteen 1n the House at
the present session, and has won rise to
not a littletalk of bribery an corruption.

Polo described it, in his time, as one of the
most beautiful in the world. It is said to
have been, a few hundred cars ago, more
than thirty miles in circu erence; the Chi
nese records represent its walls, during for-
mer dynasties, as enclosing several of the
high hills beyond the southern limits of the
present day. The wall is now about twelve
miles in circumference. Ten‘ years ago,
when I. spent several months there, the space

 

within the walls was almost entirely occu- ,

pied with buildings, and closely built sub-
urbs extended from three to four miles in
opposite directions, north and south. The
city was then the most interesting and the
cleanest which I have ever seen in China.
' It now presents a scene of desolation which
it is painful 'to witness. About nine years
ago it was taken by the Tai-Pia~ insurgents,
who held it only a few days. heir object
was to divert the Imperial army from the
rebel capital, Nankin, which they were then
besieging. At that time it is supposed that
about twenty thousand of the inhabitants of
Hang-Chow perished, the whole number be-
ing one million. Many of those who then‘
died were women, who in their terror com-
mitted suicide, either by hanging-themselves,
taking opium, or drowning themselves in
wells or canals. ,
. A few years-later, when Hang-Chow was
again attacked by the rebels, it ofi‘cred a de-
termined resistance. _ It was for a long time
in a state of siege. All the provisions in
the city were exhausted. Even bunches of
fresh grass were sold for food at exorbitant
prices. The leather of shoes and trunks
was boiled and eaten, and the flesh of those
who had died of want not unfrequently be-
came the food of the survivors.

The city was finally taken, and the Tartar
city included within Its walls, was utterly
demolished,‘not a single house being left
standing. Large portions of the main city
were also burned, and now present a scene
of blackened walls and shapeless ruins. All

concur in the testimony that no more than
one-fifth of the present occupants of the city
were included among its inhabitants ten
years ago, It is more than enough to make
the heart sick to wander through its desola-
ted streets, and imagine the scenes .of horror
and distress which they have witnessed. ,

THEINVENTION or ’LITnoenAI-nx.'—The
impatience of a German 'washerwomanled
to the invention of lithography. , The-histo-
ry of that elegant art begins with a home]
domestic scene which occurred at Munic
about‘tlie year 1703 and in which three
characters figured—Madame Senefelder, the
poor widow of an excellent actor, then re-
cently deceased; her son, Alois . Senefelde’r,
aged twenty-two, a youn man of an invent-
ive turn; and the impa ent washerwomun
just mentioned. The . wa‘sherwomani had'

following in regard to our Representative:

“Imam. 'M. j BULIJO‘Cx.

One of the youngest members of the

man from N orWalk at once took rank
with older members, both as to ability and
influence. ' He has been a valuable repre-
sentative. Norwalk probably never had a
better one. Though not often upon the floor
when he has spoken it has always been with
effect. He speaks quickly, with energy, and
always with directness. ‘ He was evidently
preparedto deliver a strong speech in favor
ofthe parallel road project, in which many
of his constituents are deeply interested, but
stated to the, House that, rather than con-
sume tinie;h'e should prefer. the vote to be
taken. There are young men who, once in

Scheuek’s Pulmonic Syrup,

Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills will cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and Dys epsiu, if taken
according to directions. They are a l three to—he ta-
ken at the same time. They cleanse the -t ‘ re-
lax the liver and put it to work; then the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis-
eased matter rlpcns in the lungs, and the patient out-
grows the disease and gets well. Thisgis the only
way to cure consumption. ‘

To these three medicines Dr. J. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in‘thc treat-

nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
deadly poison which is very dangerous to use unless
with great care,)that will unlock the ll bladder and

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
“VAUGHN, Mass, Nov. 12, 1868.

My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died of consumption. My mother had a cancer: 1 was
taken with a ball con h which had afi'ected 'me 18
months; 12 months 9. er my cough commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, which grew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps in both breasts,
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroyme first. I had. suficred much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprin water have wholly cured
me, I have been perfect y well for two months; no
can b or expectoratlon; no swelling in my breasts;
no yspepsia; no sin or sufi’ering. Everywhere I
am strong and ab c to perform all my duties. I took

medicines four months.
