In a Bridges Bridle '9 And If '03 What
is a Bridge!
It is not the “ Bridge of Sighs” or the size
of the bridge that now agitates the public,
and especially the legal mind, about the
“ Bridge." Years agone, when the town.
in solemn town-meeting assembled, voted
to contract for our present contracted, stone
Bridge, it was also voted that the then ex-
isting wooden bridge should be transfered
and erected oyer the old fording P1943e known
as H Brady‘s Crosaing.” A committee of
resolute, energetic and valiant men was ap-
pointed to carry said vote into practical ef-
fect. But the few, well-to-do shopkeepcrs
then nestling about the lower end of Main
street, dreading a diversion and diViSiOD or
their sales of spruce beer and P98111115, $0
successfully importunsd the committee afore-
said to do no such thing, that no such thing
was done. The timber of the wooden Bridge
was laid up like a discarded war vessel and
was stolen or rotted. ' In after years the
public need of a crossing at this point being
spasmodically felt, as marry as three votes
have been successively passed for its erec-
tion. But. somehow, on every occasion, our
astute rulers have found evasive means for
postponement. It was delusively thought,
however, that the last vote would stick, and
it has. Our tandem-team of selectmen, like
other tandems, does not always get the
traces in line at the same moment. When
one, forsooth, is ready and anxious to com-
mence the Bridge, the others have legal or
other scruples about it; enforcing postpone-
ment. As a result of the sea sawing con-
cerning this bothering bridge, a legal knot
of unprecedented difficulty has now pre-
sented itself, and nothing short of a full
bunch of the United States Supreme Court,
will ever be able to adjudicate and unravel
the vexatious snarl.
The two legal lights, (“ bright shining as
the Sun"—-price 2 cents.) who do the law.
and the justice or injustice of both Town
and Borough, are at direct, point-blank is-
sue. The legal member Of the town board
is a strict constructionist and lays down the
law in such manner, as to require the erec-
tion or construction of a Bridge, sole and
simple. The legal limb, of luxuriant Bor-
ough growth, expounds the vote and the
law, as requiring the town not only to build
a Bridge, but. also to build abutments, to fill
those abutments and in fine create a road-
way and approaches to said Bridge. In
other words, that: Bridge is not a Bridga,
within the meaning of the law, when it is,
only a Bridge l A Bridge to be a Bridge,
must not only be a Bridge, but itmust afford
means for crossing and re-crossing, and is
not a Bridge until the full purposes for which
the Bridge is required, are supplied. To the
legal mind, watching the town’s adverse in-
terests in the matter, it is a stupid absurdity
to call upsn the town 0 make a road on .to
said Bridge, when the vote only cujoins the
building of the Bridge. The intensity of.
this contest of nicflegal points has so par-
alyzed the “ Board” that no boards are likely
to be used for a new Bridge at this point,
this season.
The public convenience. undoubtedly re-
quires this Bridgc. It must sooner or later
be built, and every subterfuge that ingenuity
can devise, has been resorted to, to defer and
defeat its erection, The stupid, long-suffer-
ing, patient and stolid public, are even now
unreasonable enough to believe that this is
only another coveted “ lion in the path,” to
evade the obligations of the thrice-repeated
town vote. It is barely possible; and yet
we are free to say, we are glad of a delay.
Our conviction is that, under our new and
more hopeful local administration. both a
Bridge and, a road should be provided. The
highway should start at a point fronting the
Old Mott House and run thence across the
river in as nearly straight line as possible to
the mouth of the highway passing up the
hill between the old Meeker and Street
places. This thoroughfare should be and
could be so widened as well as straightened,
as to constitute an attractive and valuable
avenue for residences as well as for travel.
By such an improvement the enhanced
value of property on its line, would fully
pay interest on its cost. We hope a. new
meeting may be called, or the town and
Borou‘gh so harmonize as to do this, if any-
thing be done. If worth doing at all, it is
worth doing right, There should be an end
of the tom-foolery in highways which has
so long run rampant aboul our beautiful and
gO-a-head village.

the engineer’s report of the surveys for the
proposed line of Railroad down to Port
Chester. The route would seem feasible and
as an outlet to New York City for the Hart-
ford Boston and Eric, it 'would seem to be
of prime value and. importance. At first
glance a regret is felt that it could not “join”
onto the New Canaan branch, but then the
real fact is, railroads would pay if built eve-
ry consecutive two miles from each other
between the sound and Hudson river for
fifty miles out from New York.

The Rochester Savings banks have re-
solved to distribute some fifty thousand dol-
lars Of surplus earnings among its depos-

W” This is becoming a grave question of
agitation iu'our own State. There is some-
thing over a million dollars held by' the
Savings Banks of Connecticut as “ Surplus.”
Some of them need it to make good rob-
beries and misfortunes. but the mostof them
retain these large sums to build Banking
houses, loan ouror operate with, as best suits
the judgment or caprice of the managers.
These managers have no pecuniary interest
in the accumulations, and there can be no
motive fora retention or augmentation of
the sums thus held, O‘hcr than one of local
pride at seeing their respective institutions
abundantly fortified against possible disas-
tors.
Meantime the depositors in these banks,
are beginning to assert a claim of owner-
ship iu these surplusses and are beginning
to clamor for a division Of.the spoils. The
qhestion bids fair to come before our legisla-
ture for consideration and statutatory ad-
jdstment, unless our BANKS adopt the plan
of the Rochester Banks and this to be just
to all depositors should be divided upon the
Life Assurance principal of averages.

Homrns’ Bunonm Amman—The alarm-
ing frequency of burglarious operations in
Norwalk, render it proper} that we should
call attentionto a little and inexpensive de-
vice, by which the nocturnal visits of these
gentry will be “reported at head-quarters”
with unerring certainty. We have had one
of Holynes’ Burglar Alarms istroduced into
our residence, not because we supposed an
Editor would ever have anything a burglar
would want, but it is always pleasant 'to
know when you have a call, especially at
night. No door can be opened, no window
raised, either from outside or inside, after
the house is clOsed for the night without
ringing a hell with ten times the vigor and
voice of an ordinary door bell. Indeed, the
most valuable feature of the li c_device, is
that the clutter of. the alarm-bell will alarm
. any improper guest at great deal more than
any one else, and.- frighten them away, so
that you are sure to be saved any disagreea-
ble loss of powder and ball. In no one of
the houses on West Avenue, would it have
been possible for the marauding scamps to
have entered, without arousing the inmates,
had there been 9. Holmes’ Alarm. We ven-
ture to say more. One of these instruments,
costing perhaps a hundred dollars, would
have rendered the recent Bank robbery here, -
next to impossible. It is a simple, cheap
and most valuable coutrivance and not a
tithe the trouble of an eight day clock to
take care of.

On Friday'night last there was another -
raid made by Burglars through West Ave-
nue. The jolly fellows seem to have com-
menced their sportivcness at the residence
of Eben Hill, Esq, now for about the fourth
or fifth time the theater of' their eccentrici-
ties. They effected an entrance through a
side window, passing into the sitting-room.
From thence they could make no egress ex-
cept Out of the front door, the doors to ad-
joining rooms being bolted on their outer
side. They proceeded to the front-do& and
opening it threw out upon the grass the wire
holding the key in position so as to prevent
the use Of burglar’s nippers in turning the
key from the outside. Being foiled here,
they left without booty and called next at
our friend Tom Morison’s, “Tom" was in
and so were the thieves,but without disturb-
in g him they kindly left sans plunder. Bor-
ough-Attorney, Wm. R. Smith, was next
honored by a call. Here they pried up a
window, forcing .03. the fastening. _ After
sauntering through the house, their frolic.
sonmcss-bccame so excessive that they took
friend Smith’s best beaver, set it outside up-
on the front stoop and left a card therein,
in the shape of a huge quid Of “ Solace.”
Thence they got into the house of Mrs.’ Di-
mon, and with the same result. Their Object
seemed to be to obtain money only, as no
attempt was made to steal clothing, jewelry
or silver-ware. These performances have
become most uncomfortably frequent of late,
and suggests a strong probability of being
perpetrated by "local talent.” '
,Tnn ROCKY Mounranvs.—On Wednesday
evening, PrOf. Brewer is to tell us allhe can
in an evening lecture Of this wonderful
chain of Mountains of which a few of us have
caught glimpses, and of which we have read
and heard so much bf interest. It is a tall
and lengthy subject which he cannot do
full justice to in one evening, but as a
brewer perhaps he can raise our ideas to
some just conception of the extent and char—
acter of these remarkable hills.
In this connection a word about Reserved
Seats. Fault has been frequently found by ‘
holders of tickets because they could not
Obtain desirable seats, even when calling
quite early in the'morning of the first day,
and doubts have been expressed as to the
fairness and honesty Of the management,
.etc. We have taken some pains to find out
the truth in this matter, and we are glad to
say, in common justice to the ticket seller
and the managers of he Association, that in
our belief there is no foundation for these
charges, and that the whole affair is- con-
ducted in a perfectly honorable manner, and
with no disposition to show partiality to
any person whatever. People are there Be-
fore the store opens in the morning, and be-
fore a single seat has been marked, and take
sea's for their families, and often for friends.
who furnish them their tickets to be marked,
as is right. and proper. In this way the best
seats are soon taken, and those who come
later must select the best they can—first
come first served. But though all cannot
obtain central seats, there are seats enough,
good and comfortable, for all who attend.
Now a word for the Hall, The proprie.
tor has furnished us with a perfec: gem in
the way of an audience room, with which
we shOuld all be pleased and satisfied, as all
undoubtedly are. But as this Hall is used
so largely for lectures and similar entertain-
ment, we would like to make one suggestion,
that is. to take down the chandelier and
light the Hall by means Of ’ reflectors similar
to those in use in St. Paul’s church. This
would be a grand improvement for which
the proprietor would deserve the thanks
of all who frequent entertainments, at this
Hall. Ditto a little pressure of the ventila-
tors.

in. noticing the presentation of this piece by
the Myers Company: says: “ It was ran-
dered in the most praisaworthy and com-
mendable manner. Mr. John Murray ,took
the leading character Of Bob Brierly and
his acting was perfect. eliciting the frequent
hearty applause of the audience, several
‘ times by a mere mute look or gesture. Miss
Myers as May Edwards played “ excellently
well ;” Mr. Myers as Harkshaw, was the
bold, shrewd detective to the life; Mr. How-
land played “ Jem Dalton” capitally; “ Mel-
ter Moss” was ugly and repulsive enough in
the hands of Mr. Purcell, Mrs. Ayling was
the fac-simile of a garrulous but kind-
hcnrted old lady, and in fact there was not
a weak spot in the east and not allow in
the performance, some of the scenes and
tableaux being startlingly impressive.” ,

'It seems that- the Judiciary Article of the
Amended Constitution of the State of New
York—one of the most important of its pro:
visions—has been adopted by the popular
vote, notwithstanding all the fraudulent ef-
forts of the Democratic canvassers of. the
city to defeat it. From the accounts, it ap-
pears that the Judiciary Article has been
adopted by an apparent majority of nearly
six thousand, ’thgugh the actual majority
must be very much larger.

All accounts from Cuba, though none of

extent already; and the probabilities are
that much greaterdtmage will be inflicted.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
quuau, Mass, Nov. 12, 1868.
My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died 0 consumption. My mother hada cancer; I was
taken with a bad cough which had afi‘ected me 18
months; 12 months after my cough commenced, cau-
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 destroy me first. I had sufi‘ered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted caueer mineral sprin water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfect 3’ well fortwo months; no
cough or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts;
no dyspepsia; no sin or snfi‘ering. Everywhere I
am strong and ab e to perform all my duties. I took
medicines four months.
Thankfully yours.

my disease was hereditary and supposed incurable.

weak from frequent hemorrhage of the lungs, that I
was incapable of any kind of labor. Aftcrusmg your

less and finally ceased entirely; since then I have
gained rapidly in flesh and strength, and now enjov
better health than I have for years. It is with the
hope that ersons suffering with that dread disease,
CONSUM TION, or any Nose, Throat, or Lung Dis-
eases, may learn of your valuable remedies and be
convinced of their virtues, that [send you this letter-

DISEASE OF THE, KIDNEYS, &c.——}{o class of
ills to which the human flesh is heir, so steahhily
and surely steal aw the life blood of the victim as
do the diseases of 'idneys and urinary organs.
Such Is the dellca their structure and such the
keenhess of sympu cxhisting between the differ-
ent parts in connection, that wherever the terrible
finger Of disease leaves its mark, the poison spreads
with lightning speed to every part otgthe system.
No part of the human economy Is more exposed to
fees withru and foes Without, than these structures.
and no diseases are as unsuccessfully treated or as
little understood by members of the medical profes-
sion. Many are the poor victims who succumb to
their power. The numbers increase. and hundreds
upon hundreds die every year, whom, we have every
reason to believe, would tc-duy be alive and in good
health, had they been aware of the destruction that.
was going on within them and availed themselves of
proper medicines to intercept the untimely event.
Many preparations have from time .to time been
advertised for the cure of this class of diseases. but
without a single'exception they have proved unreli-
able. Eveu among Physicians the treatment has
been far from satisfactory or effectual.
It was to meet this cxigcucy and to supply the
want of a trustworthy and reliable remedy in these
cases. that; the Golden Extract was compounded.
Dr. J. Blackman, an old and respected physician of
Brookfield, Ct,. spent years of experiment ml labor
to brinwit to perfection. and used it with great. suc-
cess inhis practice until the day-of his death. Many
other physicians, knowing its ingredients. were dis-
poséd to give it a trial.'anzl all have spoken ofit with
the must unbounded praise. Now it may be con-
sidered extravagant to claim for any combination of
remedies unlimited power over disease of any kind.
Yet so often has this remedy exhibited its marvelous
powers over diseases of this class, that we uuhesi-
tatiugly pronounce it a Specific for all dilutions of
the Kidneys and Urinary Organs.
Notiu one instance has there come to light. in the
whole 20 years that it has been before the public that
it has failed to completely eradicate all ves-
tagc of these diseases from the system and that too,
after all other remedies have utterly failed.
As a remedy in Gleet, Gravel, Stricture, Gunner-bean
Dropsy, Chronic lnfiumation of the bladder, Incon-
tinence of the Urine, Spermatorrhms, Pain in the
back and Loins, &c.. Dr. J. Illackmau’s Golden Ex-
tract stands nnrivalled and no one need suffer from
them when it: is at hand. Certain relief is warrant-
ed. ,
' It is customary with many dealers to publish a long
list ot'ccrtificatcs and testimonials in favor ofa reme-
dy of this kind. We deem it unnecessary to do any-
thing of the sort. although we have a thousand at
our command. The effects of the compound are up-
pealed to—they are all the trumpet it requires, and
to them is submitted thejustrco of its claim to un-
questionable virtue. _

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

1 November 8, 1869.
To our Customers and Corrupondcme :
The surprising development of our national re-
sources and the rapidity with which the government
is now enabled to reduce the national debt, by week.
15' purchases, render it apparent that the time is
approaching when the Five-Twenty bonds may be
funded at not over four or four and a half per cent.
, Interest.
Meanwhile their high price, as compared with
other classes of securities paying an equal rate of .
interest, Is leading to general inquiry for more prof-
itable forms of investment in which money may be
safely invested.
During the war the necessities and peril of the
government, and the consequent cheapn’ess of its
securities, rendered them so attractive that, from
this cause, combined with the patriotic faith of the
people in their safety, they absorbed almost the en-
tire fioating capital of the country, and diverted
attention from other elfisscs of securities which had
before been deemed sufficiently conservative and
sound to meet the wants of the most cautious in-
vestors. »’
The government Is no longer a borrower. It no
longer needs the country’s capital, but desires grate-
fully and honorably to repay it.
The rapid accumulation of capital for investment,
and the reduction of the national debt and improve—
ment of the national credit—rendering it. certain
that hereafter but a comparatively low rate of Ir-
terest can be derived from investment in government
bonds—is compelling the search for other safe and
well~guarded channels Into which capital not em-
ployed in business may wisely flow.
The enterprise of Peace, no less needfnl in their
time and place for the common welfare, than were
the waste and cost of War, now call for the capital
which the government no longer needs, and Omar for
its use a remuneration which the government need
no longer pay, and in some cases, a security as
stable and enduring as the faith of the nation itself.
The desire to capitalize the premiums which may
now be re .lized upon Five-Twenty bonds, and
which a material decline in Gold toward par, and
the ability of Government to fund them at a lower
rate of interest, may at any time extinguish. is felt
by many holders who desire some satisfactory us-
surancc as to which of the many lower-priced ze-
curiticsrn the market would afiord the necessary
safety to justify an exchange.
The applications for information and advice which
are addressed to us daily, show how universal in
the desire for this assurance, as to what forms of
investment more profitable than Government secn- .
rlties at present market rates, are entitled to the
confidence Of investors.
The pressure of this want has led us to feel the
importance of directing our own attention as bank-
ers, Ourlnrgc experience, and our facilities for ob-
taining reliable information to the work of sup-
plying it in some measure, and to ofi'er the results
of ourlnquiries to those who may be disposed to
confide in our good faith and judgement.
We are unwilling to offer our friends and the
public anything which according to our best judg-
mentis not as secure as the national obligations
themselves, with which we have hitherto principally
Identified ourselves. ‘
Since closing the GREAT CENTRAL PACIFIC
RAILROAD LOAN, which meets all these require-
ments, we have carefully examined many Others,
but have found no other which would fully do
so, until the following was placed in our hands:

The Western Pacific Rail Road connecting Sac-

link in the extraordinary fact of an unbroken line Of
rail from the shore of the Atlantic to that of the
Pacific.
It is 150 miles in length, including a short branch
and it will be the

of the rich and growing State of California, re-

and Central Pacific Railroads—between the Eastern
States and Sacramento.
Itis completed, fully equipped, and in successful
Operation, and its earnings in October, the first full
month, amounted to $105,000 In coin. The net earn-
ings will, by a moderate enlmate, amount to £600,000
per annum in com, while the interest on its Bonds

The near approach of the time when the Unite
States can probably fund the greater portion of ILd
Six-pennant. debt, is naturally causing inquiry for
other forms of investment, which will afford satis.
factory security with the same rate of interest. THE
WESTERN PACIFIC RAILROAD FIRST MORT-
GAGE BONDS must have an immenseddvantage
over all other securities based upon merely local or
uncomplcted railroad, and may be held with as much
coufipeuee as government bonds or as first-class
mortgages on New York City property.
