EDITORIAL LETTER.
WAanmeTON, Feb. 1011:, 1872.
m amen BILL.
The near two months’ contest over Am-
' nesty in the Senate was brought to an inglo-
rious end last night. After an immense V ol-
ume of both strong and weak argument, and
a tenacious persistency worthy more practi-
cal and pressing questions of legislation, it
at last iguomiuiously failed of its requisilt
two-third vote. Although there are two
House Bills on the same subject on the Stu-
ate table, so far advanced is the session. so
eager the President makers to close beforl
the Philadelphia Convention, and so mucl.
ahead of the Senate is the House in neessa-
ry legislation, that it is exceedingly doubt-
ful if any satisfactory action on Amnesty
can be secured this year. This for many
reasons is to be regretted, and the best friend:
of the measure do not hesitate to charge it:
willful defeat upon Mr. Sumner, in stubborn-
ly insisting that his Civil Rights bill should
be loaded onto it,when it was inevitable
that by so doing it would sink. both. Tht
vole‘on the Sumner Amendment was in-
tensely exciting. It turned out a tie, which
by electric impulse, seemed to have been in-
stantly recognized in all parts of the Cham—
her. Mr. Colfax courageously came to the
rescue, and voted, as Mr. Sumner desired
andthus held it fast to the Amneslybill, but
only to carry bill and amendment down tc~
gether a few hours later.
MR. Fanny’s SPEECH.
The speech of Mr. Ferry, in opposition to
Mr. Sumner’s amendment and in plea for
amnesty, was one Of his most masterly ef-
forts, and vividly recalled the days of you
when his eloquent voice was heard in our
home campaigns in every part of Connecti-
cut, in earnest plea fer “free soil, free speech
and free men." It is conceded by his fellow
Senators that no speech of equal ability has
been delivered in the Senate this session.
At its impassioned close, the first to hurry
to his seat with congratulations, was the
great-hearted,lhough oft times impracticabh
Mr. Sumner. He unreservedly avowed his
appreciation of its clearness, force and pow-
er, and ended by the remark that he “was
sogry to have to add that it was the hardest
blow that had been dealt his cherished
measure." Another Senator relnarked in
our hearing that the Connecticut Senator
had convinced his judgment as a lawyer or.
the Constitutional question, though he was
not prepared to accord with him on tut
score of expediency. Perhaps the surest
and best exemplification of its appreciation
was its entire and entirely unusual attention
it was accorded on both sides of the Cham-
ber.
, _ BOUNTY TO Tms.
In the plan submitted by Secretary Boul-
well and Secretary Robeson, to aid in the
revival of our depressed shipping interests,
both the foreign and the coasting trade,
wooden as well as iron ships are included.
It is intended to be a bounty on ship-build-
ing of all classes, and a bounty sufficiently
large to enable the American builder to
compete with the cheaper labor of~England
and Scotland.
NORWALK mnnon.
Yesterday morning Senator Ferry made
an earnest plea before the House Sub-Com-
mittee on Commerce, in behalf of the Nor-
walk Harbor improvement appropriations.
It seems that there are over $40,000,000
asked for, and but ten millions determined
upon, as the maximum of appropriation.
Assurances were given that our claims
should not be overlooked.
PATENTS.
There has been, since the war a remarka-
ble increase in the number of Patents and
especially in the class relating to labor sav-
ing devices. A. C. Arnold of Norwalk, has
application for three Patents. in the category,
while E. Blackman, late of Norwalk, has an
application for a new devieefifor lamp retice—
tors.
Our annual issues of patents in the last
decade have risen from three or forfl thous-
and to nearly twenty thousand. Machines
have been made to replace manual labor in
all the branches of production.
. All our Bank oflf‘lcials will be pleased to
know that Hon. Hilland R. Hurlburd, the
present Comptroller of Currency, has been
reappointed to the place he so acceptably
fills. Mr. Hurlburd is a young man, buthis
record as an officer here entitles him to the
regard of all who believe in honesty and
capacity. The President gives his last levee
Thursday evening. This has been an un—
precedentedly gay season here audit .is said
its near end,adds greatly to the delight of
impeennious fathers and sleepy mothers,
who long for the sound of the consecrated
Lenten chimes. ’ '
The Congressional Directory for the sec-
ond session of- the Forty-second Congress,
compiled by Ben Perley Poore, has just been
issued, and is a most carefully prepared and
valuable publication. Major Poore has
done himself especial credit to this edition,
which evinces extraordinary pains taking
and labor.
Gov. Buckingham is expected here in the
morning from his long and disagreeable
Custom House Investigation in New York,
His friends in the Senate freely express their
admiration of his faithful and impartial con-
duct of that examination, and sympathy for
'his compulsory and. irksome absence from
his seat and duties here.
The President probably made the best and
happiestspeech of his life at the Press ban-
quet at Welker’s last night. In response to
the Press sentiment “ The pen is mighter
than the sword,” he replied— “ When I laid
aside the sword to accept the administration
of civil office, I adopted the maxim, .‘Let us
have peace,’ ” and sat down, having said it
all, amid a shower of applause.
The Connecticut statues have been on-
covered, and rival any two pieces of marble
in the Hall. As Works of art they are cer-
tainly most creditable to our State and to
our own artist. Their merit is universally
conceded.
In passing through the _East Room, and
calling the attention of our ten-year-old
scion to Stewart’s great picture of Washing-
ton, as the one our present fellow-townsman,
~Mr. De Peystcr, at the request of Mrs. M ad-
ison, took from the Whit’e House and saved
from British spoilation at the time the city
was invaded in 1814, ctc.,whcn the young-
ster instantly responded, “ Why, that’s a pic-
ture of Dr. Mead i” There is certainly a re?
markable facial resemblance to_our_vencrat-
ed rector.
PERSONALS.
Gov. Jewell and A. L. Train left Tuesday
for New York, the former to be present at
the New England dinner. Ex-Licut. Gov.
Winchester is new here.
The resignation of Collector J. W. For—
. 'ney is the last sensation and surprise of the
politicians.
An amusing quartette was observed near-
lygrouped on the Senate floor the other day,
being no less distinguished personages than
the able and affable Senator Fenton, the em-
inent and logical Teutonic Senator Schurz,
thecultured and courteous Geo. W. Curtis,
with his Harpers’ Weekly aid-de-camp—the
great satirist and caricaturist, Thos. Rest!
Of Senator Schurz the story is told that
eighteen years ago he stood on the floor of
the United States Senate, hardly compre-
hending the language spoken around him.
He wrote to his Wife, “ Some day I shall
stand here and speak English." If the story
be true, its fulfillment has been mere rc-
:nantic than the prediction. - i , .

Onr Representative, Mr. Barnum, is much
complimented for the fair and generous luau-
ler of conferring his cadet appointment up-

The Small Pox.
A case of supposed small pox was reported
to our officials yesterday morning, by Doc—
tor Lockwood. The patient was a man
named John Moore, living in a small house
in the rear of the “long house, on Water
street. He was promptly removed to thc
Pox House on the Town Farm, which had
previously been put in readiness for llrt
emergency, and the selectmen will see that
he has every possible attention. Dr. Lynes
attended the patient during the afternoon.
and reports that the disease is of the small
pox nature and will probably develop into‘
that. or the varioloid. Mr. J. K. Taylor, 01
South Norwalk,a practical nurse who has
just recovered from the varioloid, has been
engaged to take charge of the patient.
Ameeting of the Board of Health was
held yesterday afternoon, and the Selectmen
were authorized to take whatever action in
the premises they might deem advisable,
and to cause persons to be vaccinated at thl
town’s expense, wherever they may think it
necessary. . ’ ‘

The Norwalk Sociable Club wound up
their winter’s season with an elegant enter
laiument on Thursday evening last. Tht
attendance was quite large, comprising lll(
elite of our two m'llages and from all‘ parts of
our town, and everything passed ofl‘ in tht
most pleasing and creditable manner. Tht
Hall was neatly decorated with evergreen:
and choice plants; a triumphal arch erected
of evergreen upon the stage in front of tht
music was surmounted with the presiding
genius of the club—the wise bird of the god-
dess Minerva—a solemn visaged owl. Alst
conspicuously placed on the stage was a flo
ral token from the La Variele Club, consist-
ing of a huge basket of the very choicest 0‘
flowers, arranged with great taste for them
by our well-known florist, John H. Smith
of South Norwalk, with the initials L. V. S
to N. S. in the center thereof. The ladies.
as was expected, appeared 'in magnificen:
rttirc and among so many bewildering];
fair ones it would be impossible for us it
single .out any particular one as excelling
The music, being by Wanncmacller was 0'
course all that could be desired, and Hooper
the caterer of their previous sociables prt -
vided the refreshments in the hall for all
who wished, while Bartlett, of the N orwalk
. Hotel, got up a supper for the epicures of
the club and their ladies. Taken all in all
it was a really grand and fitting wind up of
‘ the season’s festivities.
We would suggest. with all due respect
and regard for constituted authorities, that
if any case of pestilential disease occurs in
our midst, in the future, requiring the re.-
tnoval of the patient, that the time-honored
custom of removing them in the night he
resorted to, or at least, that some notice may
be given to persons traveling the same route.
The doctors and officials may all ridicule
the idea of danger, but in times when such
diseases prevail in epcdimic form it is, at
least, unpleasant to meet such cases on the
street, and out of regard to the feelings of
the people, if for no other reason, more
show of caution should be observed.

The Propeller City of Norwalk brought
up an unusually large load of frcightlasl
Saturday afternoon, coming safely tllrotrgh
notwithstanding the “hard blow.” The City
has made regular trips all winter,—up out
day and down the next,——with only two ex-
ceptions, when the Captain failed to buck
his way through the ice and succeeded in
making only two trips, _eaclr week. As
freighting has been ratherdull this winter,
the Captain has had no trouble in transport-
ing all that offered, and Com. White has
kept the Brady and the staunch steamer
Nevcrsink lying in the slip, at New York,
ready for a start at an hour's notice in case
of accident to the City or an unusual rush
of freight. We admire the Commodore's
pluck in risking his vessels and pushing
them through in all kinds Of weather, and
hole certainly deserving of the gratitude of
our freightcrs for his determination to make
as regular trips its possible.

New York ding-tern Ballrond.
The adjourned meeting of thoseint‘erestcd
:in a new line of railway from the State line
to Derby was very largely attended on
Thursday last, and a determination evinced
.to push thegood work right straight along.
The meeting therefore, upon convening, im-
mediately accepted the ""0071 of the Com-
mittee on Organization, and then taking and
acting upon each section separately, filled
in the blanks and adopted the following
articles of association :—
Be it known that we, the subscribers, do
hereby associate ourselves together as a cor-
poration for the purpose of constructing,
maintaining and operating a railroad for
public use, in the conveyance of persons and
property, subject and pursuant to the pro-
visions ofthe general statutes of the state of
Connecticut respecting railroads, and es-
pecially of an not entitled. “An Act to
.tuthorize' the formation of railroad corri-
panies and to regulate the same,” passed by
the General Assembly of said State at its
May Session, A. D. 1871, and approvedJuly
31st, 1871, and the following are the articles
of our association :
ART. 1. The name of this corporation shall
‘10 The New York & Eastern Rail ll tly Com-
pany.
ART. II. The principal otlice and place of
business of this corporation shall be at Nor-
lvalk, Conn., in the County of Fait’field and
State of Connecticut.
ART. III. It is proposed by this company
to construct, maintain and oper'atc-snidrail-
road from some point in the town of Green-
wich, at or near the boundary line between
the States of Connecticut and New York,
md thence through the towns of Greenwich,
Stamford. Daricn, Norwalk, Westport, Fair
field, Bridgeport, S'ratford, Trumbull, and
Huntington, all in said County of 'Fairfield,
md to some point within the town of Derby,
in New Haven County, in the State of Con-
uecticnt.
ART. IV. The length of said proposed
railroad, as nearly as the subscribers are
tble to state, will be forty-four miles.
The capltalslock of this company shall be
1,000,000 dollars, and shall be divided into
shares of one hundred dollars each.
ART. V. The directors of this company
=hall be Edward N. Shelton, Birmingham ;

'on,'H. R. Parrolt, Clapp Spooner, Bridge-
port; Dtlvid M. Marvin, Westport; Wm.T.
lIinor, N athanicl E. Adams, Stamford ;
Phineas C. Wright, New York ; Samuel
Lynes, S. E. Olmslead, F. St. John Lock-
.vood, Wm. C. Street, Edward C. Bissell,
Norwalk ; H. W. R. Hoyt, Greenwich, who
shall manage the affairs of the company for
me year and until others shall be chosen in
their stead.
,ABT. VI. The general statutes of the State
if Connecticut relating to railroads and
railroad companies, and especially the not
hove specified to and made part of these
articles.
ART. VII. The undersigned severally
tgree to take the nllmbcr of slums of the
:apital stock of said company sci Opposite
to our respective names hereunto subscribed,
md to pay the same in such installments
tnd at such times as shall be called for by
he directors of said company.
Upon reaching Article V, a little discus-
sion arose upon the manner of designating
he directors. A committee was finally ap-
minted consisting of one from each town
tlong the line of the proposed road, to met—t
lnd recommend to the meeting a list of
rames for Directors. The meeting then
;00k a recess for dinner.
On re-assembling the committee made
:heir report and a ballot was taken which
resulted in the election of the gentlemen
tbovc named, after which the rest of the
trticlcs were adopted, and an adjourmcut
hen made until the 22d inst.
N ow that the enterprise is fairly launched
we trust that our people_generally will take
told and lend a helping hand. Do not leave
it for the large capitalists alone, for it. is
something which all are vitally interested
in. Out small landholders are equally in-
terested with the large ones. .Each and
every part of our town will be benefitted
lhereby ; South Norwalk as well as up-town,
for with a competing road the N. Y. & N.
H. Road will of necessity offer more induce-
ments for travelers over their road, both as
regards number of trains and the rate of
rare.
iecrfor the over-crowdeddenizens of New
York to seek for locations here inmoiirsfal‘cg’
in which to‘ erect their family rooftrccs.
The cry of not business enough for two
roads is absurd. How was it when the N.
Y. A: N. H. Road was started ? The whole
population of Norwalk was then less than
5,000; to-day we number over 12,000, and
the other towns along the line have grown
in nearly the same proportion. So that
where there was only tl population of 1,000
10 draw from when that road was built there
is now nearly, if not quite, 2,500.
Then agaiu,just look at the enormous
traffic the N. Y. & N. H. Road has had and
what they have made therefrom. Out of
their earnings they have been enabled to
pay the great damages sustained by the
draw—bridge disaster, have made up the over
issue of stock by the Schuyler fraud, built a
double tr ack,built new and expensive depots,
bridges, 6:0,, and are paying their stock-
holders very handsome dividends on ‘a capi-
tal stock more than double than that wkh
which they started.
Again, we say, let all the people take hold
lDd help along the NEW Your; a EASTERN
RAILROAD.
The Worcester (Mass) Spy says :——“A
singular electrical phenomena is manifest at
I. dwelling on Pleasant street. In passing
trouud the room and rubbing the feet on the
carpet a person becomes highly charged
with clcctl'icit y ; upon touching the register
large size is developed. The gas can readi-
‘y be lighted by first turning it on, and rub-
‘Jlng the feet on the carpet and holding one
finger over the jet. A spark often darts
from the feet when passing over :(ertain
llaces in the floor, producing a painful sen-
illllOl]. The electricity is only developed by
rubbing the feet on a carpet underlaid with
nanilla paper. When three or four persons
take hold of hands and walk around they all
become powerfully charged, and the first
mo touching a conductor would not care to
repeat the experiment. What peculiar ar-
rangement in a house is necessary to pro-
lucc this phenomenon, and its influence on
the health of its inmates, being constantly
charged with electricity, is a question for
the scientist.
A somewhat similar case has been the
town talk here the past fortnight. The house
on the east side of the harbor occupied by a
family of deaf mules, is reported to be
"‘ltaunted,”or inhabited at night by “spirits,”
Ste. Strange noises are heard, the origin of
which have not tget Leen traced, and a great
tmount of elec 'icity seems to pervade the
house. A young boy is said to be so chock
full of magnetism that he will send a strong
shock through a string of men, similar to
that from a magnetic battery.

TheWeed Will Case.
This great will ease yvhich has attracted
so much attention during the past two
nfbnths,was finally decided last Tuesday,
the jury rendering a verdict in favor of Mrs.
Weed. We have already given the leading
points in the case, but the following details,
which we copy from the Standard, will be
of general interest :—
This is the appeal of Mary Weed from
tllc Decree of the Probate Court for the Dis-
trict ot‘Stumford admitting the will of her
deceased husband, Nathaniel Weed, to pro-
bate. It is remarkable for the length of
time taken in the trial and for the large
estate involved. The trial has lasted six
weeks. The amount at stake cxcmds $600,-
.000. We can state only the prominent facts
brought out, the whole making twenty five
hundred pages or more of printed testlmony
and cmbraelng the details of thirty years of
the domestic, social and business life of the
testator. Mr. Weed was formerlv of the
firm 0fN.& H.chd of New York and
was one ofthe first business men and a
bank president in that city. 'He had lived
for many years in Darlen, and there and in
Stamford, he had a large amount of real
estate. He died in Dalien in January, 1871,
over eighty years ot age. He was twice
married; the second time in 1840, marrying
his first wife’s sister, now the appellant.
He died leavingone son Harvey Weed, and
his two children, his only lineal ‘heirs, by
his first wife. The second marriage was
unfruitful but the parties were most. devo-
tettly attached to each other. and the large
estate was mOStly accumulated during their
married life. Mr. Weed made three wills
before lbislast one now contested, ill each
of which he provided liberallv for his wife,
giving heron his decease one half of the
his real estate in Darien and the power of
disposing of one quarter' Of his personal
estate by her will.
In the will now On trial. the widow is given
$5,000 in cash and the use of real estate
making her about $7,000, per year during
her life. It is claimed on ‘the part of the
appellant that Mr. Weed intended to give
her $5,000, in addition to what he had before
given her, as he was very solitcilious about
+5., ' 5.1.4.“. Turin: In: Svl' ex-
Mournlkm
pressed it to her before and after the execu-
tion of the will, and that there was fraud in
the making thereof. In support of this they
show that in December 1866, Mr. Weed had
a parzllyic shock which came very near
producing his death and that thereafter he
was a broken down old man in mind and
body ; that the three former wills we is
drawn by lawyers employed by him, while
the last was written by his son, and that
for many years there had been an estrange-
ment between Mr. Weed and his Sen, and
ther was a lack ofconfidence in lliln by the
father. Drs. Hoyt and ’l‘rowbridgc, of Siam
ford, and Lynes of Norwalk, testified to his
insufficient mental capacity to make a will
in 1867. Mrs. Weed the appellant was on
the witness stand one week testifying. Many
other witnesses testified in support of the
appellant’s claims. The appellecs claim
that the will was made by Mr. Weed when
perfectly competent to, make a will, and
there was no undue- influence nor fraud
They support these positions by the evi-
dence oY the subscribing witnesses, Messrs.
Fr rris, Child and Fesscndcn and by Dr's.
Haight of Stamford, Hubbard of Bridgeport,
and Butler of the Insane Retreat, Hartford,
and by a large number of other witnesses
who had opportunities of observing him.
This case is one of the moSt imporlanl
which has ever been tried at the Fairficld
County bar. It has been conducted on the
part of the appellant by Messrs Olmstead
and Doolittltg and on the part of the appel-
lees by Messrs. Beardsley. Child and Fes-
sendcn, Who have all done their parts well.
The argument commenced 'Illursday after-
noon by Mr. Child. He was followed by
Messrs. Olmstead Sr Doolittle for the widow.
and Mr. Beardsley closed on.Sat‘urdny, each
taking two and one-halfhours in his argu-
ment. It'was very ably argued and presen-
ted to the jury.
WThe Litchfield Inquirer says “that the
business of the Shepaug Railroad is increas-
ing. The connection with the Danbury &
Norwalk road is to be made the first of May,
when two passenger trains will run over the
line, connecting with the New York & New
Haven road at the latter place, making the
time between this place and New York only
four hours. City people are already engag-
illg board for the summer. We need very
,much a large hotel to accommodate all, as
the two we "have, together with private
houses, are insufficient for that purpose."

The small-pox which atzfirst seemed to be
confined to the etties and larger towns, has
now gained a pretty secure foothold in
the rural districts, and there is no longer
room for doubt that it will ‘very soon pre-
vail as a general epidemic, not only in this
country, but throughout the whole world, If,
indeed, it may not be regarded as having
alread reached or nearly reached that point.
In view Of these facts, to much paichannot
be taken by persons in all stations and
pursuits in life to take every step possible,
by vaccination and otherwise, to prevent
the spread of the loathsome disease.

The Tribune, with characteristic breadth
and truth says that it hates wars of any kind.
and that strikes are simply declarations of
industrial war, adding that when a body 01'
American workmen refuse the wages offer-
ed them, and thereupon sink into idleness
and stolid wailing for their bosses to give in,
they seem to justify a low estimate of their
general capacity. But when those who
strike 'to-dny contrive to set thcinsclvcs to
work to-morrow—no matter if they earn
less than they were Offered by their late
bosses—we regard them with lively hope.

his hands that he has given up all practice
of medicine and surgery, and devOtes him-
selfaltogether to furnishing ounces of this
preventive which are worth pounds of cure.
About 300 calves a year have to suffer under
his hands for the benefit of mankind, and he
hopes to double that number next year.
We hope he will have no Occasion to do so.

-“ Daisy Eyebright ” furnishes the follow-
ing recipes to the Country Gentleman :
,New‘Ycar’s trifles are prepared in the fol~
lowing manner: Take a dozen ladics’ fin-
Uers—small sponge cakes—and stick them
full of bits of citron and blanched almonds,
made by pouring boiling water over the
almonds, and rubbing off the skins. Put
them in a dish and moisten with wine, or
any fruit syrup mixed with lemon juice.
Let them stand an hour, then pour over
them a rich boiled custard, made with the
yelks of eggs, leaying out the whites to or-
nament the top, and add some powdered
sugar to it, but not to make i. still as f't'Ost-
(‘l‘
'l‘o boil a ham, soak it over night in Warm
water, scrape and clean well; add a pint of
cider vinegar to the boiling water and pm
.in the ham. Simmer slowly for four hours,
then take it out. skin it, and Cover the
whole top with grated bread, and bake in
the'ovcn for half an hour. Garnish with a
cut paper frill about the bone,-lud cover with
bits of’curraut ielly and pursely.
To make good sandwiches, pound up ten
der hams and boiltd tongues, equal parts;
season with a salmon dressing, and spread
between slices of bread cut as thin as possi-
ble. Made in this way they are rich and
delicious, and there is no fear of the slices of
meat falling out. Pounding the meat with
a pestal, instead ot'chopping it with a knife,
renders it more tender.
Pickled oysters are prepared as follows:
Take the largest oysters you can find—what
are called “ counts "—and 'two hundred of
them will makea fine dish. Rinse from the
liquor with boiling water, and put it in 3.
Stew pun, boil and skim it, after which add
a quart of pure old vinegar, a tablespoon
each ot'whole cloves, peppercorns and mace
and salt to taste. Boil ten minutes, add the
oysters, and boil until they are plump.
When served, add a few .raw cranberries,
and some slices of lemon as a garnish.
