'I'KE PARALLEL BRIDGE.
'«Atter long' years of fierce contest with
the great railroad monopoly which seeks
aloilieto'fdperate and control all ingress and
egress to and frOm our state and the great
commercial emporium of the nation, a gen-
eral railroad law was enacted. Its passage
by a Connecticut Legislature was permitted
only because this monopoly desired consoli-
dation with the New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield line more than it feared a gener-
al railroad law. But accepting this law in
good faith, a company of our citizens—men
of worth and means—organized in full com-
pliance with its provisions. Every restric-
tion (and there were many and far more
embarrassing than any attending the con-
structing of the monopoly road,) has been
faithfully complied with. The money re
quired has been lawfully subscribed, at a
time of unparalleled financial depression,
the right of way has been mainly secured,
and every intelligent man knows this new
company “means business.” Were there
any possible doubt of their honest intent to
go ahead and build their road, all uncer.
tainty would be swept away by the panic
and passion with which they arevagain as-
saulted by the great monopoly. They now
, donation? A concession? A special gift
> x...
or grant? Not a bit of it. Simply their
right to cross, as others have twice done, the
Housatonic river. What public-interesthas
been assailed? Who is there with,the ef-
fl'ontery to oppose this their clear and inde-
feasiblc right? No body and nothing but
the great corporation, which,having so long
enjoyed its enormous monopoly, is still de-
termined not to be interfered with in the
continuance of its princely revenues. Yet
this monopoly road comes up to our Legis-
lature with the regularity of the seasons
and asks for special legislation in its inter-
at, and never in a single instance has its ap-
plications. been rejected! "Upon what
- meats doth this great Caesar feed” that it
shall have all it craves, and the rights of
other equally deserving citizens be rejected
at its sole dictation. «Olin the Legislature
afi‘ord to put itself on the record as a party
to the wrong,“ and injustice sought to be in-
flicted, by a rejection of the prayer of these
petitioners? Can the State of Connecticut
afwd, at a time when labor and business
are so depressed, to say to the six million
2 capital seeking distribution and investment
within our borders: Not a dollar shall you
bring here! Not a dollar shall you pay out
to the idle thousands of our laboring men
whose picks and shovels are rusting for’
want of bread earning work. Surely the
laboring masses of Connecticut will hold
their servants to a strict accountability if
by direct or indirect means, by audacity or
artifice, this great enterprise for the public
good be defeated. Nor will they forgive
any begging of the issue. It must be met
fairly. Squarely voted up or down. No sub-
stitute bills, pregnant with the subtleties of
cunning lawyers, will be accepted by the
people. The issue is a square one, and the
action of our Legislature should be frank
and direct.
There are none of- the uncertain elements
of an untried experiment in the proposed
enterprise. In New Jersey the battle was
fought with equal fierceness with the Cam-
den & Amboy monopoly for long years.
Every species of artifice and legislative jug-
glery was resorted to by that great, over-
shadowing corporation, to defeat the popu-
lar demand for more railroad facilities. But
the people at length triumphed, as they are
sure to do every where, and to-day, we see
fourteen railroads running out of New York
and penetrating every section of that State.
We see millions upon millions of dollars in-
vested in manufactories and residences
which but for these new roads would never
\\v"-.'rsve Ibsen~«expended within her borders.
Do we need be told that all New England,
with her three thousand miles of railroads.
on the one side and the great city of New
York on the other, and all dependent upon
a single line of road, imperativcly demand
further facilities? Is it not the sublimity of
impudence and ingratitude for our great mo-
nopoly to now rise up and by its powerful
accessories seek to dictate that a Connecticut
Legislature shall not accord to another in
the slightest degree, what it has so lavishly
received for itself ?
Here we have a population of nearly four
millions of thrifty, trading, manufacturing,
New Englanders. A grand list of three bill-
ions of assessed property valuation. An area
of six thousand five hundred square miles.
Fifty~eigbt railroads, and all dependent upon
this one, single monopoly line of sixty-five
miles, as the funnel'through which all this
gigantic aggregation must filter into New
York. The manifold advantages of the pro-
posed Parallel ‘road to the people of our
State are as clear as the noon day sun.
Shall capitalists be pqrmi‘tted to build it .9
That is the one simple question. Shall our
day laborers, our artisans, our merchants,
our manufacturers, our capitalists, have the
just advantages and business benefits arising
fl'om an expenditure within our borders of
six millions of dollars ?
We do not believe it possible that the leg-
islature of Connecticut, when implored
for bread, as she is now,with a pathos never
uttered before, can or will turn her unem-
ployed thousands of honest workingmen
away with a stone.
The Bridge ; yes or no, gentlemen.
Levi Warner, Esq., opened yesterday the
law office vacated by Hon. S. B. Beardsley,
on the occasion of his having become judge.
It is with no unfelgned regret that we note
Mr. Warner’s departure from Norwalk.
Always differing from him in our political
sentiments, we nevertheless are free to 'state
our appreciation of his many fine personal
qualities of head and heart. He has won
an enviable fame before the Bar of this
county, and we are sure that in his new
home he will augment rather than diminish
the justly earned legal reputation he has
won.
An impatient public will be gratified to
know that Etc-Mayor Ely has commenced
at least partial operations upon the ruins or
. tthld Well Hotel. Oxen and carts were
drawing out earth and debris from the cel-
lar last week. We hope the city authorites
will widen the highway at the corner, now,
before it is too late.
Now that the fearful comet is coming on
full tilt, it is a good time for the Terry Is-
landers to recruit for their summer pic-nic.

An Irishman came in from the rural
districts early on Saturday morning, fired
with that love of liberty and zeal to “whip
a nigger,” which only a fourth 'of July and
its attendant inspirations can beget. Said
pat, “neow ef I meet a bloody nagur and he
spakes to me, i’ll just wallup ’im, for I hate
the nagurs. An" of he don’t spake to me
I’ll wallup ’im anyhow, for I won’t stand a
nsgur on the blessed fourth uv J uly,I won’t
be jabers." And so Patrick like Don
Qoixotewent about in search of a “bloody
nagur” but found himself, at the end of the
rice, minus muchpeace of mind,a sore head,
and a wounded leg. '

The 4th ofJ‘nly.
We do not remember ever to have experi-
enced a more quiet Fourth of July in Nor-
walk than the last. Tle day was remarka-
bly cool, and pleasant until evening, when
a shower interferred somewhat with displays
of fireworks. Crowds of people resorted to
the shore, while the stay-at-homcs quietly
lounged under the shades.
The Norwalk Boys never deported them-
selves so quietly 6’s dccorousl y on an incom-
ing 4th of July as the last. With the un-
precedented quiet and the deliciously cool
weather, sleeping was a luxury Sancho
Panza could‘again have reverently blessed.
Our adopfcd citizens were the only ones
to make any public demonstration. In the
morning the St. Joseph’s and St. Mary’s
Societies appeared with a martial band and
marched down to the church where they
were joined in procession by some 150 Sun-
day school children, and marched to the
Amphitheatre. The procession, with flags
and banners ctc., made a fine appearance.
Our thanks are due for a salute to the GA-
menu.
The Nelly White made two excursions to
Rockaway Beach from New York, on the
4th, omitting her Norwalk trips. '
The sorrowful featuye of the joyous day,
was the unusually large number of drunken
people about the streets. There must have
been somethingstronger than usual in the
drinks that day, for men were reeling and
tumbling abOut early in the morning, and
before night were “crazy” and even “dead”
drunk. One frantic individual had his head
well pounded with a policeman’s club be-
fore he could bc secured, and the police had
their patience tried looking after the
“drunks.” One body was picked up on
Main street, and by kind friends tenderly
laid in an undertaker’s wagon and convey-
ed _to his home in Winnipank, dead—drunk.
He was fortunate in not being carried away
in a coffin.
The Horse Car Conductors and drivers
had such fun on the Fourth ! Only ten extra
trips that day! But then an ungrateful pub-
lic were abundantly accommodated. '
Roton Point was gorged with a crowd of
people from all parts, on the Fourth. Frank
Smith’s little excursion steamer Flirt was
kept as busy all day as a bee in a sugar
barre], bearing its living freight to and from
the famous point. . '
AccmENTs.— Wm. Doyle, employed by
S. Hoyt & Sorts, came from New Canaan,
and while intoxicated got into a wrangle, in
front of Brackcn’s “liquor store.” During
the melee he fell to the pavement, a pistol
dropped out of his pocket and was acci-
dentally discharged, the ball entering his
right leg below the knee, working upward
diagonally. Drs. Uhle and Gregory dressed
the wound and sent him home.
During the night of the 3d, Eddie Farrell,
about fourteen years of age, living on
Center Avenue, was seriously injured by
the permature discharge of a small cannon
with which he was celebrating. The pow-
der flashed up into his face and eyes. It
was feared that he would lose the sight of
one eye, but Dr. Uhle now thinks that he
can save it.
Friday night, while firing a miniature
cannon in the dark, Julius Slauson was in-
jured by the flashing up into his eyes and
face of powder used for priming. Dr. Uhle
attended him, and he will get along.
A son of A. A. Belts, Summer Street, was
wounded in the hand, while using a toy
pistol and fire crackers. A boy named Sav-
age, at Whistlevillc, was also hurt in the
hand.
P. M. Gen. Marshall Jewell.
The nomination of and acceptance by
Connecticut’s favorite son, of a place in the
President’s cabinet, was so quickly and so
handsomely done as to electrify the whole
country with delight. Mr. Jewell possesses
the business qualities needed for the posi-
tion in a pro-eminent degree, and it is no ex-
aggeration to say, that no other man in the
Cabinet equals him in his accomplishments
as a judicious and effective political man-
ager. We presume we shall, at this late
day, betray no confidences, if we state that
the Portfolio of the Treasury was at" one
time within his grasp. It would have been
well for the administration and for the na-
tion, if personal rivalries had not se§mecl to
render his acceptance inexpedicnt. As our
Minister to Russia, he has succeeded in con-
summatiug a trade treaty,which no predeces-
sor has been able to do, and he leaves his
foreign post to return to a service more con-
genially associated with earnest and zeal-
ous friends at home. The appointment, we.
predict, will be an exceedingly popular one
and the Administration and the service are
to be congratulated upon the fortunate sc-
[ection.
this onerous duty, with riper business tact
and judgment, more thorough and inflexible
uprightness, or proficient and efficient abili-
ties.
Considerable excitement was caused in
Danbury on the 4th by the catching fire of
the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad depot,
and of Concert Hall. The depot was quite
seriously damaged but the fire at the latter
place was put out before much damage had
been done.
Saturday night a second attempt was
made to fire Concert Hall, by the use of
kerosene, but failed. Plaut’s store was also
on fire, not seriously damaged. Friday night
a man was stabbed, in a drunken row,but
will probably recover.
We are pained to learn that the John
Austen who was killed and whose wife was
badly injured at the recent church festival
accident at'Syracuse, N. Y., was our old
er here in Norwalk. He was a most worthy
man and his untimely end will be regretted
by a host of former Norwalk friends.
Capt. Stephen Hoyt and sons, those prin-
ces of farmers, closed up their having car-
nival on Friday before the Fourth, packing

Ten persons were added to the communion
of the First Cougregational church on Sun-

The case of State vs. T. O. Eskelson which

Considerable testimony as to the location of
the old Thomas’ Building, both before and
after its removal, was given by many of our
oldest citizens who differed as to the exact.
position of the building as it formerly stood.
By reference to the working map of the D.
& N. R. R., and the testimony of D. E.
Culver who made the map, it was,sbown
that the building stood twenty feet fromthe
Hotel before its removal, while by the testi-
mony of Wm. B. .Rider, acting as Borough
surveyor, the distance was shown to have
been reduced by the removal to seventeen.
feet and two tenths. Tl'iking the exact
measurements solely into account there
would have been no trouble in finding the
results of the regal, but the preponder-
ance of testimony established the fact that a
picket fence enclosed a yard on the West
side of the building covering 'at least .the
space to the West which it was shown that
the building now occupies, and further that
before the building was first moved back
upon River Street, and objection having been
made a meeting of the Selectmen, owners of
the property, and inhabitants interested in
its location together with the directors and
contractors of the D. & N. R. R., were call-
ed to fix the location of the building, and
that all 'parties in interest,-the Selectmen
acting under end by virtue of a vote of the
town, passed Jan 28th, 1851, appointing
them “a committee to superintend the cross-
ings on the public highway in the tow‘by

measures to prevent encroachments upon or
injury to said I'oads,”— did then agree to its
present location, and that the position

W. C. Street, Esq., testified that he was
present at that meeting in his official capaci-

participated in the agreement then and
there consummated by all parties in interest,
that the building should be put upon its
present location.
The case was ably argued last Friday
and the decision of the court as promptly
announced upon the conclusion of the argu-

Commencement Exercise.
at the Mines Broekways’ lehool.
This school, since it was opened a few
years since, has constantly increased in the
public favor, andl‘rom‘its‘un‘p'retending and
unheralded beginning, through the faithful
and quiet instructions and labors ofvits very,
accomplished teachers in all the departments
requisite toa young lady’s education,has
grown It) be one of the important and at.
tractive institutions of Norwalk.
The (losing exercises for the year took
place last. Wednesday evening. We give
the programme of .the exercises below.
The pupils showed marked excellence in
English composition, music and elocutioii,
while the exhibition of drawing attracted
much attention from the unusual proficiency
of several of the pupils in that department.
. An interesting feature in the exercises
consisted of the readings by Miss Bradley,
instructor inelocution. Miss B.’s object in
reading is evidently, by a natural tone, em-
phasis and manner, to represent to the
hearer the thoughts and sentiments of the
writer, which she certainly succeeds in do-
ing, rather than adopt the theatrical man-
ner so common among elocutionists, by
which admiration is apparently sought only
for the performance. and the performer.
The exercises of her pupils showed evi-
dence of thorough training and correct
principles. ,
Rev. Mr. Hamilton’s address in present-
ing the diplomas to the graduating class,
though brief, was an able and eloquent dis-
cussion of the duties, Opportunities and re-
sponsibilities of the woman at the present
day, contrasting her present position with
that in all past ages, and showing, as evi-
dence of her capabilities, various examples
in history where woman has manifested
rare heroism or conspicuous genius in lite-
rature, science and art. '
~Rev. S. B. S. Bissell presided, represent-
ing the principal and announcing the vari-
ous parts in the programme. The exercises
were attended by a large and interested
gathering of the friends of teachers and
pupils, and others interested in education
and the progress of our schools.

and good common sense has greatly advanc-

present position as pastor ofthe First church

unanimity of his people and their urgency
to have him remain with them, is the high-
est compliment that could be paid him;
while his self-denial in putting from him an
opportunity so attractive and so well suited
to his tastes}, and for which he is so eminent-

When our hotel-keepers begin to recog-

individuality, with different wants and dif-
ferent desires, hotel life will begin to be
very much cheaper to those who have the
will and the knowledge to live at once
cheaply and well, while it is no dearer to
the rest, and perhaps even more remunera-
tive to the landlord. The effect of our pres-
ent plan is simply that the modest and care-

Pulmonie Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
' and Mandrake Pills.
These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cures of Consumption than any other remedy
known to, the American public. They are com-
pounded ofvegctablc ingredientsmnd contain noth-
ing which can be injurious to the human constitp-
Ion.
Other remedies advertised as cares of Consump-
dangerous drug In all cases, and. if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
Its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the
sylnxtem, which, of course, must make‘a cure impos-
m e. -
Sehcnck’s Pulmonic Syn-up is warranted not to
contain a particle of opium: It is composed of
powerful but harmless erbs, which not; on the
lungs, liver, stomach and blood and thus correct
all morbid secretions, amt expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
by which consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck’s Pulmomc Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills are the on y medicines which ope- ,
rate in this way, It. is obvious they are the only en-
ulne cure for Pulmonary (Fonsumption. Each ot-
tle of this invaluable me Idinc is accompanied by
full directions. ' _
