their new edifice on the west side. In the

looking very pretty, might prove a very
gerilous beauty. It was a sensible move re-
moving them and elating over the openings.

passed up out of a Maryland corn-field as a

who throng to listen to his eloquent words
and logical deductions. He will be greeted

63' The old “Baily Barn,” in rear of the
new Bank Building, has had to succumb to
the inevitable progress of events. ' It will be
sadly missed these keen, frosty nights by the
"‘ hammers” who found it a convenient and
economical lodging-house; by the sane-emot-
tss who dellled it by day, and most touehiugly
so by the faithful woman with the two act-
ive children who regularly stole the shingles
from the roof. The latter trio have fre-
quently astonished us by their perseverance,
energy and wonderful capability in breaking
the commandment. These three will view
the demolition of this landmark with tears
in their eyes and no kindlings in the corner.

ALTERATION or ‘THE LINE or THE N. Y
& N. H. Harmonia—We understand that on
Monday, the Hon. William D. Bishop. 80'
companied b some other gentlemcn inter-
ested in mi road matters, examined the
route of the proposed railroad between New
Rochelle and the Harlem River, thh _the
object of making arrangements for the right
of way along the line recently surveyed.
The charter of the proposed line was con-
trolled by Le Grand Lockwood & 00.. and
on their suspension, passed. as we have
already stated, into the control of the New
York and New Haven railroad company.
Mr. Bishop intends, as we learn, to immedi-
stely construct the line from New Rochelle
to the Harlem River. It will pass through
a very thickl settled portion of Westchcs-
ter count w iich at present has scant rail-
road faci ities. While a_ large number of
the residents are engaged in business in New
York, they have in several instances to ride
along distance before reaching a railroad
depot. It is moreover understood that the ‘
multiplication of passenger trains on the
Harlem road, which will ensue from the
completion of the depot in Forty-second
street. Will so crowd the track that there
will be hardly room for the business of the
New York and New Haven company. The
latter company will of course have'to seek
a new terminus in New York, and it is un-.
derstood they have made arrangrmentsso
as to be ready .by the time the new union
depot is completed. Work upon the new
line will be commenced immediately and
carried on with vigor.
[3" Thyabovc, from the New Haven
Palladium of last week, we take as authori-
tative. We can only repeat our former
opinion that this is one of the “ smartest”
things President Bishop has yet done for
that corporation. There is not a Director,
Conductor, Engineer or Brakeman, who
does not breathe freer after getting off the
Harlem track with theia trains. That
there would be some terrible catastrophe on
that. end of the road, has been the dreadful
apprehension of every commuter on the
New Haven Road. This divorcing them-
selves from the Vanderbilt track’, even though
it be in consequence of his inability to trun-
dle all his Hudson River .aud Harlem trains
over the one track, is a cause of congratula-
tion to the- traveling public. No matter
what motives or interests inspired this new
flank .movement, it is no less a movement in
the public iliterest,_and as such we shall rc-
ioice at its consummation. W’Ve shall, of
course, sympathize keenly with poorBishop
who jcered and derided it before the Legis-
lative. Committee as a line for a railway so
preposterous and so chimerical as scarce to
deserve his ridicule. Now let the New Ha-
ven Road show its regard for the public in-
terests still further, and put down its ‘fares
thirty per cent, if it would deserve the pub-
lic good will and cordial support Its fares
were raised from 75 cts., from Nontvalk, and
carried up to a dollar thirty, while gold was
advancing anywhere from two hundred up
to two hundred and eighty. It is now down
to less than 25, and a corresponding deduc-
tion of fares should ensue. It is notorious
that they ’could earn large dividends on two
cents a mile, the same as is charged on the
trunk lines in the' adjoining State of New
York.
Upon this subject we find the following in
the Stamford Advocate, embodied in an ar.
ticie in reply to a correspondent who charges
that the editor “ has had his mouth sealed by
the present of a free pass over the N. Y. 65
N. H. Railroad,” a charge that 'the editor
denies with proper indignation.
“There is one portion of J. W.’s letter,
however, that suggests something we have
been iiiindcd to say. The rate of fare on the
New York &. New Haven Railroad is too
high, and should be reduced. It is under-.-
stood that the loss by Schuyler is more than
madegood. Steel rails have been put down,
and new depots and workshops built. In
view of these and other expensive improve-
ments in contemplation, many of the patrons
of the road have been content to pay a higher
rate of fare than is char ed on any other
railroad outside of New YorkLbut there can
be no good permanent reason why people
should have to pay fifty per cent. more for
a ticket to New even, than the same dis-
tance costs on the Hudson River road. We
hope and believe that the New Haven rail-
road will reduce the fare at an early day.
When this is done, there will be little left to
complain of in the management of the road,
which, in other respects, will bear favorable
compariaQnJlinflLeLbE SI}?! .1119. 931“ng ’
. Lockwood Jr Co. -
On Wednesday last, Dec. lst, the firm of
Lockwood & Co., resumed business in New
York, having succeeded in completing sat-
isfac‘o y arrangements with their credi-
' tors. The business will be conducted under
the direct management of the .senior part-
ner, Mr. Le Grand Lockwood, and the firm
will consist of the same junior partners as
heretofore, with the exception of Mr. James
II. BelledlCI,,Wl10 retires. On Wednesday
last, Mr. Lockwood, his son Willistou 13.,
and Mr. Van Buskirk of the firm were re-
admitted to membership in the Stock Ex-
change. and on the same day, says. the Mail,
the members of this firm were handscnkly
entertained by the brokers in honor of their
resumption of business. We trust they will
meet with good success and succeed, in
time, in retrieving their old honorable and
exalted position. To show the esteem in
which they are held in New York, and else-
where, we copy a few notices from city pn-
pers :—- ,
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger says, in alluding to the resumption
of Messrs Lockwood tit 00., that satisfactory
arrangements are made with the creditors
of the house, and their Western depositors
will continue business with— them as here-
tofore. Mr. Lockwood’s personal friends
will be glad to learn that the arrangements
in question are not likely to deprive him of
his residence at Norwalk, Conn. Begin-
ning anew, under these encouraging auspi-
.ces, it will not be long, it is hoped, ere the dis-
asters whch overtook them, along with the
others, on the famous “ Black Friday,” will
be recovered from.
The N. Y. fiibunc saysz—We are happy
to announce that the house of Lockwood
& Company, who were forced tojsuspcnd
during the September panic, have made an
amicable setttlement of their affairs, and
will resume business on- Wednesday, Dc-
cember 1. The house has a world-wide
reputation of integrity and honesty, and
their suspension was brought about by a
combination of circumstances which was
beyond the control of any concern, how-
ever, shrewd and far-seeing. Their troubles
have excited universal sympathy, abd they
resume business with the confidence of the
entire community. They have had num-
berless ofi‘ers of pecuniary aid from their
friends, as wcll as from persons having but
a slight business. acquaintance with the
house. The senior partner, Mr. Legrand
Lockwood, assumes direct control of the
affairs of the house.
The Times has the following:—We notice
that Messrs. Lockwood & Co, the old and
much respected Brokers and Bankers, who
suspended payment on the 29th of Septem-
ber,- will resume business on Wednesday
next, Dec., 1, after having mime satisfactory
settlement with all their creditors. The '
long experience of the firm and the sympa-
thy felt for their recent misfortune, should
insure thenia liberal commission and gen-
eral business. ‘ Mr Legrond Lockwood, his
two sons, and all his late junior partners ex-
cept James H. Benedict, comprise the firm.
The following is from the New York
Obser'cerz—“Wc are glad to announce that
the house of Lockwood «it 00;, who we°re
forced to suspend during the September
panic, have made an amicable settlement of
their affairs, and resumed business. The
house has a world-wide reputation for in-
tegrity and honesty, and their-suspension
was brought about by a combination of cir-
cumstan‘ces which was beyond the control
of any concern. Their troubles have excit-
de universal s mpathy, and they resume
business with t- e confidence of entire com-
munity. The senior partner, Mr.‘ Legrand
Lockwood, assumes direct control of the
atlairs of the house.
The Christat‘n Ifitcllzir/emcr, of Thursday,
saysz—“We are gratified to learn, as we
doubt not will be very many of our readers,
that Messrs. Lockwood & 00., whose losses
in the late financial crash were- mentioned
in this paper a few weeks since, have suc-.
cecded in afiecting a satisfactory arrange-
ment with their creditors, and yesterday rc
suuied business. The firm is one of the
oldest in thecity, and their suspensxon, is
the result of the wicked manipulations of a
few unprinciplcd operators in Wall street,
caused very general regret throughout busi-
ness and financial circles. The firm con-
sists of Mr. Legrand Lockwood, his two
sons and all his late junior partners except
Mr. James H. Benedict, who retires. We
wish them the success which they richly
merit."

- w'l‘gn'llimamP-Mr. Myers’ troupe played
a short engagement at Norwalk Hall last
week. Wednesday. and Thursday nights
the attendance was small, but the popular
play of“ East Lynne," brought out a good
audience on Friday evening, when the good
acting of the company made a favorable im-
pression. Saturday evening the Hall was
well filled, and the famous “ Rip Van Win-
- kle” was performed in a. highly satisfactory
manner. Scenery and stage effects were, of
course, limited, and the interest of the play
depended upon the “ character acting." Mr.
Murray as ‘f Rip" gave excellent satisfac-
tion, and was almost constantly applauded.
He is certainly a very clever actor. Miss
Flora Myers and Mrs. A-yling also received
their full share of. applause. The other
parts were generally well taken. Altogether
the company is an unusually strong one,and
when they visit Norwalk again will proba-
bly be liberally patronized. '

To THE LADY Rummy—It is a matter of
serious consideration with a large class of
the community—It ought to be with us all—
where the absolute re uirements of the
household, and the rep enishment of our
wardrobes with new and seasonable goods,
at a reduction of the ordinary thirty three
.or fifty per cent profit, which is paid for ar-
ticles purchased at retail, can he obtained.
The subject has been well canvassed, by
the writer of this, and we make the sugges-
tion that our lady readers may profit by it.
Mr. Chester Bullock, 501 Broadway N. Y.,
is selling at retail, all the various lines
of goods keptby first class wholesale dry
goods and fancy goods houses, at whole-
sale prices, no matter whether it be a child’s
holiday toy or a New Year’s gift ofa superb
silk dress. Every article of lady’s or gen-
tleman’s toilet or wardrobe is offered at a
reduction, of at {least, fifty per cent, 'less
than it can be procured at other houses. It
is a duty you owe to yourself and husband
to examine into this matter before purchas-
ing elsewhere. We say in all candor, there
is no catch or humbug about it. It is sim
1y a wholesale house selling goods at retail,
every article of which is guaranteed as rep-
resented. It is conceded he shows the best
collection. of articles designed for the holi-
day trade to be found in any one house in
the Mctropolis.—Adc.

making the printing plates, and also with
a new and much more rapid mode of doing

METHODISM 1N comcricu'r
was on the 17th .of June last, an oetogena-
rian. For nearly a quarter of a century
after Philip Embury, in his little room in
New York, in 1766, preached his first ser-
mon to a congregation of five, Methodism
had not entered New England. Its growth
had been southward, and it is in that direc-
tion and westward, that the greatess tri-
umphs of this system have been found. At
the conferences of 1789, among the appoint-
ments read was
“moan—sneer. LEE.
Though. Stamford was the only place
named, yet it really meant New England—-
Jesse Lee. At this time there was nei her
church, preacher, or people, and~ upon this
one man, hung its interests in the Eastern
States, and right well was he fitted for the
work; a man of wonderful power as an or-
ganizer, indefatigable, deterred by no obsta-
cles, and, indeed, glad to meet them, that he
might have the joy of triumph. On the 17th
of June, 1789. Lee preached his first sermon~
in Connecticut at Norwalk. On the 25th,
the first class was formed at Stratlleld. He
rapidly passed through the State, preaching
and organizing as he went. In January,
1790, the first class was formed. “By this
time,” writes Stevens,-in his admirable His-
tory of Methodismfrom which I have drawn
most of these facts, “the whole State was
rife with rumors of him as a strange man
who had come from the South, and was
traveling through its villages on horseback,
and in a costume of Quaker-like simplicity.
A very remarkable man, who preached
every day, and seven] times a day, and went
everywhere without knowing nnyfilenon;
exceedingly good-homered, witty even, of a
most musical voice, making his . hearers
smile _ or weep, as be pleased, but mostly
weep, * * * * that the pastors and people
valiantly resisted him as s heretie, for he
was an Armenian. That they turned this
discourses into interlocutions by their ques-
tions and‘disputatiens, but that he confound-
ed them by his tact, if- not by his logic.
* * * Many who liked his theology could
not approve his preaching, because he sc-
knowledged that he was not an ‘educated
minister.’ " The pastor, and sometimes the
- village lawyer and doctor, tested him with
Latin and Greek phrases. He responded in
Dutch, a knowledge of which he picked up
in childhood. They, supposing it to be He-
brew, either retired from the contest or took
sides with him.” -

W They had a'llappy time in Brooklyn
on Friday lust. Whisky literally flowed in
the street. Some 500 troops from the bar-
backs around New York marched into the
“Bourbon district,” under command of Gens.
Pleasonton and Kiddoo, took possession of
all the illicit distilleries they could find, de-
stroying all the apparatus and pouring lots
of the stuff into the streets. The business in
this vicinity has heretofore been carried on
in utter disregard of all law, the men engag-
ed in it banding together and mobbing all
the force the Revenue ofilcers could bring
against them. The government determined
to stop the outrage, and hence this interpo-
sition of the strong arm-which has' so effec-
tually crushed the business for the present,
at least.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
' Wan-runs, Mass., Nov. 1 2, 1868.
My_grandmother and several aunts and cousin:
died of consumption. My mother had a cancer; I was
taken with a bad con h which had affected me 18
months; 12 months 3 er my cough commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, which rew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps it 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 suffered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprln ' water have wholly cured'
me. I have been perfect y well fortwo months; no
cough or expectoration: no swelling in my breasts;
no yspepsis aorain or suffering. Everywhere I

A Question Answered:
What has created such a demand for Dr. Black- _
man‘s Golden Extract? The whole secret lies in the
important. truth that it does just what it is recom-
mended to do; and just as fast as the sufferings of
one are relieved the news reaches a neighbor and
thus hundreds have become the advertisers of the
medici nc and vouchers for its proprietors truthfulness
It is the standard remedy of the day for all of those
delicate t'iseases cf the kidneys and Urinary Organs
which make existence miserable. See advertisement.
