how the democracy, after doing penance for

. From all the information we can gather, the
contest,between Messrs. Barnum and Eaton
will be close and fierce. As Mr. Barnum
seems to have most of the adroit and ear-
nest men of the party at work for him, it
would seem that his chances of beating
Baton were more than even. Yet it is
quite possible that there may be a small
minority in favor of some other candidate
holding the balaucc~ of power, and such
» masters of the situation that they can die-
tate and secure, the choice of a new man.
The caucus is to be held te-morrow even-

patience to know definitely the result. We
hope such a man will be chosen as will be
of some practical account to the State after

Gen. Crsufurd was in command of the
entire military display, and was accompani-

The number of deaths and severe injuries
of persons on our railroads, by their own
thoughtlessness, is growing frightful. Peo-
ple seem to'bc losing their heads, and the
more there are killei by walking on the
tracks, the more there are determined to
walk them. Men will stand by a train
looking at some poor fellow who is
run and try to jump on, risking their lives
in the same manner. Others, on the trains
daily, become so accustomed to the cars
that they seem to think that they possess
some special charm and cannot be injured,
and despise ordinary caution. _When will
men learn to take care of themselves?
W. H. Benedict, Esq, was rc-elected Su-
perintendent of the Congregational Sab-
bath school, South Norwalk, for the 36th
year in succession. He has been a faithful
laborer, and has filled this position these
long years with great credit. The monthly
Sabbath school concert was held in the even-

from New York, Mr. Layton, and H. N.
Dunning. ‘
‘ Luann, Var t—The New York GI New
Haven Railroad advertised excursion tickets
at a reduced rate, and advised all to get ex-
cursion tickets to and from New Haven to
witness the inauguration on Wednesday
last, and so induced many to go; but what
was the astonishment ofexcursionists to find
that Excursion Tickets were sold at the
great reduction of ten cents for the round
trip—five cents each way. A big thing for
a wealthy and generous corporation, but
then it is a monopoly and at present there
is no help for it,—pe;baps they will learn
how to do better after the N. Y. 4% Eastern

The Election parade, at New Haven, on
Wednesday last, Was undoubtedly the larg-
est and finest display of the kind ever made
in this State. The weather was propitious"
and everything seemed to favor the show.
Excursion trains were run over the Rail-
roads, and the city was crowded with
strangers from all parts of the State. The
Military displa‘y was highly creditable to
the State, and embraced the entire regular
force together with independent organiza'
tions and visiting companies from abroad
The appearance of the Fourth Regiment
was very fine, and the ofiicersand men came
in for their full share of admiration and
praise, and flattering commendations fl'om
high officials, for their promptness in being
on the ground at the appointed time and
also for being the only regiment that took
up its proper position on the ground after
having passed in review before the Gov-
ernor. The Third and Second both march-
ed ofi‘ entirely and had to be sent for and
brought back into proper position. The
troops were all provided with dinner at the

guests in a liberal manner and is never ex-
celled in hospitality.

The Horse Railway Company is now run-
ning eighty trips per day, which is accom-
modating the public almost as wellas Supt.
Trubec was doing at this time last year
when he run cightysix trips. The prac-
tice of “doubling-up" conductors, adopted
during the past year,may-work satisfactorily
to the company, but: is often annoying to
passengers. Some cars are sent through
‘the Bridge only in charge of the driver
who is hardly able to take care of his
horses and look after passengere at the same
time. We hope the road will prosper so
well during the summer that the managers
will be able to make needed outlays and at
the samstimc secure liberal dividends.
Killed on the Track.
Our community was shocked last Thurs-
ay evening by the intelligence that Major
Lewis P. Gregory, of Kent, had been run
over by the cars. at South Norwalk, and
killed. Mr. Gregory was a man over sev-
enty years of age, and, we are informed,
has been a commuter on the Danbury cars
ever since the road has been in operation.
He was a hatterby trade, and was in the
employ of Messrs. Adams Brothers dz Brush,
at South Norwalk. Itseems that on Thurs-
day hc was pressed with work and remain-
ed in the shop until a fellow-workman
told him that he had only two minutes to
catch the train, when he hurried off. In
running to the depot he took the Danbury
track evidently forgetting all about the
“through car" which‘is dropped from the
New Haven train and switched off on the
Danbury track to be coupled with the Dan
cars ran over him, cutting off a leg, frac-
turing his skull, etc. He was taken into
the depot, but his injuries soon proved fatal.

Illa-tho, Deaths and Mal-flog".
From the report of Mr. Hon dley th e . state -
The total registration of births for 1873 was
14,037, a gain of 282 over the previous year,
and 42% per cent. more than were returned
judiciary to report a bill for an act to pre- in 1808. The county of Hartford fell off 111
ve‘nt members of the legislatures from 112- hll‘thS: this deficiency being fllmOSt entirely
ceiving passes or gratuities of any kind in female children, thchtield gained 100.
from railroad companies, was read.
Strangely enough, Bridgeport returns 1,082
births, and Hartford only 930, a relative
proportion which has been observed for
three years. The greatest number of births
in any One month was in September. Jau-
uary and July followed next in order. The
fewest births occured in April. More males
were born in August, and more females in
January and September. It is found that
the third quarter is the most prolific, and
the first quarter stands next. The gain to
population by natural increase, or the excess
of births over deaths, was 4,275. There
were 162 cases of plurality births, and 144
of illegitimate births. Of colored children
the births number 247, or 40 more than the
deaths in the colored population.
The marriages in ’73 were 4,841— 182 less
than in 1872. Of the marriages where both
parties were of American birth, there were
2,768; where both were fbreigncrs,l,318; and
where one party was a native and the other
a foreigner, 575. There were 141 marriages

A
opographical survey of the' grounds as
his Mr. Olmstead will prepare a plan of
and sllrubbery,are among the features of
ornamentation to diversify the park. But
the first thing Congress ought to do is to
purchase of private Owners the square of
land on the southwest or inland side of the
lower capitol yard, so as to connect it with
the Government reservation now occupied
by the conservatory and propagating gar-
dens on the south side of Pennsylvania
Avenue. _Thi_s would, give usa complete
and charming park on that side all the way
from the Capitol to the grounds of the
White House and New State, War and
Navy Departments, and in a very few years
be one of the most delightful parks in the
world. When the nation gets a little richer,
it will, no doubt, extend the Capitol grounds
on the northwest side of Pennsylvania Ave-
do it now. Thence extending .north as far
as C street, and running thence cast to 2d
street, and from 2d street north across East
Capital street to 0 street south again. As
thus enlarged, the Capitol grounds would
furnish the room needed for the contem-
plated new libflry and Supreme Court
buildings,.and bear some adequate propor-
tion to the grandeur of the great Capital,
and be worthy the respect, admiration and
affectionate regard of the great Americah
people. How much Better to appropriate
the money needed to do all this now, as a
patriotic duty, than to~waste five times the
amount which Congress is now being in-
veigled to do for a national Fourth of July
frolic at Philadelphia in 1876. I don’t ob-
ject to a preper Centennial celebratio of our
nation’s birthday, for its the only one I and
several other of my lady friends ever expect
to live to witness, and we want to make
sure of the present. But for the nation to
pay the enormous bills of that affair of
“sentiment," when fora tenth‘part of the
money it could for all time so add to the
dignity and beauty of thenation’s Capitol
and its surroundings, as to win the admira-
tion of every coming generation. This
might be done, and ought to be done this
new session, so that the nation might see
and feel on that one hundredth anniversary
that its Capitol grounds were complete and
worthy the nation. .
A resolution has just been introduced to
have the Washington Monument completed
before July 4th, 1876. This ought to be
done, or else the disgraceful pile of marble
which hassolong advertised the nation’s
want of respect for the father of his coun-
try, should all be taken down. Then let
the beautiful knoll where t
shaft has so long pointed like a finger of
scorn to shame a nation’s want of gratitude
and reverence. Oh! if we women could
vote and get into Congress, there would be
an eud‘ of these disgraceful performances.
There would be some “house cleaning”
done about the nation’s Capitol and the De-.
partments,I tell you; and there would’nt
be half the money squandered there is now,
either; ”“10” of things would be “fixed
up." ‘
‘ A committee of Congress has been down
to Fredericksburg to see about the erection
of a monument over the tomb of Mary, the
mother of Washington. The committee
were received by the corporation of Freder-
icksburg and there was money-enough fool-
ed away for the trasportation of this funeral
crowd and in the “repast” that was furnish-
ed, to have built a.creditable monument.
Virginia, the “ Mother of Presidents," ought
to be ashamed that it has not done this bit
of‘reverent justice to one who has given
that state such special fame, long ere this.
“Society” was stirred from centre to cir-
cunlterence,Tucsday evening by the mar-
riage of the young daughter of the rich, sil-
vcr Senator Stewart, of Nevada. The
groom was Lieut. R. C. Hooker, of the
Navy. “Castle Stewart" was brilliant with
lights, beautiful flowers, fair faces and ex-
quisite toilets. Carved agate vases were
filled with flowers, and boquets and baskets
sent to the bride in. honor of her marriage,
were grouped upon the tables. Among
these floral offerings were baskets from Chief
Justice and Mrs. Waite. A hand of music
was stationed in the ball-room, and very
shortly after the appointed hour announced
Mendelssbon’s well-known Wedding March.
The Bride was very simply attired. The
rich white silk she wore was trimmed across
the tablier with box pleating ofthe same silk,
narrow in the center and deepening on the.
sides; the long train was perfectly plain,
and was looped back on each side with
large bows oi‘ivbite, silk; midway on the
back breadth was a spray of orange bios.
soms. The boddice was de-colletee, andro-
relieved by a bertbe of white tulle, with a
bouquet do col-sags of orange blossoms; the
veil four yards square of illusion, enveloped
the fotm, and was fastened to the head with
a coronct of orange blossoms. A triple cir-
clet of pearls,from which depended a cross
set with diamonds, on the neck, and pearl
solitaire car-rings were the only ornaments
worn. The pearls were presented by the
groom; the diamonds, another pair of ear-
rings belonging to the set, by the bride’s
parents. Miss Annie Stewart, :1 sister,wore
a white tarlctane'trimmed with ruffles 0f
the same, and blue sash. The groom and
a Ann--." ..

were all the army and navy officers present.
Mrs. Stewart wore a magnificent toilet, a
rose~pink silk robe embroidered in White

around the train, with rows of Valenciennes

into the possession ofaLowell acquaintance,
who marked his name upon it. Two years
after it left the pocket of the Lowell man it
came into the hands of a. former churn _of the
Portlander. Recognizing the name, he in-
scribed iis also on the coin. Last week the
man who stat ted the cent on its travels was
