Editortnl Correspondence.
Wasnrxo'rox, Feb. 13th, 1875.
. DEAR Gawain:—
In the Senate to-day,
immediately after the reading of yesterday’s
journal; Senator Ferry, accompanied by
Hon. W. W. Eaton, passed up to the chair
of the-'Vice-President and the senatorial
oath was'a‘dministered by the clerk to Mr.
Eaton,':a'i_s:'tlie successor to Mr. Buckingham
for the remainder of the deadSenator‘s un-
expired term to the fourth of March next.
The scene was peculiarly interesting and
. impressive,'in "view of all the accompany-
ing circumstances. Our new Senator took
his seat among his political friends on the
west side of the chamber, and at once seem-
ed to he'perfectly at home and at his'case.
His op'en;fra_nk and genial personal charac-
teristics vvilltend to make him an acknowl.
edged favorite‘with his senatorial associates.
All who hare ever known Mr. Eaton, are
ready to; testify that the only bad thing
about him .is his politics. Even many of
his politiéal supporters in Connecticut are
zealous in aflirming that Mr. Eatou’s po-
litical views were never half so bad as he
in his.oratorical flights was in the habit of
making them appear.
or Senator Buckingham it maybe said,
that very few public men have passed away
who so,.universal]y had won the respect, es
teem, and afi‘ectionate regard of~his asso-
ciates. god-both sides of the Senate chum:
“her hiddéiilh'dame as a personal loss to a 1.
His courtesy, urbanity, andunswerving in-
tegrityfin’ 'all matters, persona], political,
and official,gaincd the confidence and re-
gard of his felIOw Senators to an unusual
degree. If his Senatorial career was not
strictly brilliant, it was laborious, useful,
and honorable to himself, his’State, and the
Nation. It was, moreover, eminently scr-
viceable to his country. While the people
' of his native State will ever, prefer to cher-
ish his memory as their great War Governor,
as her Senator, there is no occasion for
apology or bated compliment over his fresh
made grave. May our good Mother State
ever be as fortunate in all the nobler ele-
ments of personal character in her future
representatives in the Senate. .
0n Saturdgr next, Senator Ferry will
formally anno ace the death of his late col-
league to the_Senate, and pronounce an
eulogy upon his life and character. Other
Senators will follow, and the occasion will
be one of solemn interest. '
Re‘présentative Barnum is here,bnt really
has no business-to be. He is seriously ill,
as hé was‘af' the he of the late contest in -
the House, when hisabsence secured him
such-whatcheling from theTrzMne. He is
herc'jno'w in opposition‘to the advice of his
physiciair, and'undoubtedly ought to be at
home. ,But such are the exactions of the
publicservice'. Life, health, and personal
comfort must'all‘ give way to the “ appear-
ance‘ of things.” It is'one of the mysteries
“ no fellow can’ find out” how a man of his
large’wealth and extended and complicated
busines'siinterests, can be induced to accept
a pincéjn Congress, where vanity and vex-
ation of, spirit constitute the chief recom-
penses fo’e sacrifice and service.
MrE’Colfax appeared last night at LincOln
Hall, giving his lecture on. the life and char-
actor of Abraham Lincoln. The lecture
was largely attended. The President and
Mrs. Grant, several membérs of the Cabinet
and a large number of members of Con-
gress were in attendance. At the close a
very earnest ovatibn was given the speaker,
thevPresident and others coming upon the
platform and most earnestly and enthusias-
tically greeting Mr. Colfax. In 'view of the
vindictive bespattering of mud thrown up.
on him in days past, this enthusiastic greet-
ing must have been especially gratifying.
We wish some means might be adopted by
our Odd Fellows’ Lodge, (orwhich order
Mr. Colfax, is a prominent member), or
other body, to have his great oration deliv-
ered in Norwalk. The Republican says of
it:-— a, '
‘-‘-_As a whole, the lecture was a moat re-
markable one", worthy of the fame of the
man’whojgavje it, and even of tbs fame of
the man to ,whosemernory it was cvoted.”

The hidéwalks are icy, and pedestrianism is
even‘ more difficult than it was in, N orwalk
last week. Representative Beck, of Ky.,
fell last night on going home, and broke his
arm badly near the wrist. Several other
Congressional statesmen,'as well as numer-
ous private citizens, have slipped on the
icy pavements and been more or less in-
jured. '2: The'slaighing carnival on Pennsyl-

of Lieut.‘Fitch’s father, which took place
at Green Point, Long Island, last Wednes-
day. The deceased Mr. Fitch came to this
country from Ireland when a youth, and by
industry‘and frugality had secured a.mod-
. erate competency. He was engaged 1* the

The diamond necklace again came to the

Numerous have been the falls this winter,
and many ~the severe bruises and wrench—

live soberly and walk circumspectly.

The.frcezing up of some of our fire by-
drants was alarming but nothing unusual in
such a winter as this. Our pipes are laid
deep and the hydrants are as well protected
as possible. We are better off than most
places. In New York, Bridgeport, New
Haven, Waterbury .and other cities where
the hydrants have been tested, a large pro-
portion have been foundentircly frozen, and»
would have been utterly useless in case of
fire. We hope our commissioners will keep
on testing them, and try their best to keep
them in working order. ~

'Mr, Fred Wood, son of Mr. Noah Wood,
of this place, met with a very serious acci-
dent in New Haven, on Friday last, by
'which he sustained a compound fracture of
his right leg. Young Wood .is a member
of the senior class of the Scientific school,
and one of the soundcst members of the
giversity crew. He was coasting with
er students, about 9% o’clock, a. m., on
Prospect Hill. Several of them, including
Wood, were on a “double ripper,” flying
down the bill, when they encountered a
carriage. They steered to the right,having
plenty of room, when the driver abruptly
turned into Sachem street, forcing them to
the left. The first sled avoided the collis~
ion. but Wood’s right foot struck the wheel,
(going between the spokes), with great vio-
lence, and he was thrown some thirty or
forty feet. Hisfiompanions carried him
into Prof. Eaton’s house, opposite which
the accident occurred, where he remained
“some five hours, receiving every possible
attention. He was then carried" on a
stretcher, by the students, to his boarding
place, 55 Trumbull street. His father, who
had been telegraphed for, arrived soon after..
He is underthe care of Prof. Bacon, one of
the best surgeons in the city, and-at last
accounts was getting along as comfortably
as could be expected. No one else wasin-
jured. -
Misfortuncs never come singly. Walter
Lewis, in the employ of Mr. C. S. Lock-
wood, kindly conveyed to Mr. 'Wood the
news-of the accident to his son, and in re-
turning slipped on the ice, and came in
contact'with a board fence, bruising his face
severely. '

Interest on the National debt in Switzer-

is $3.75 per head. People afraid of taxes

paid for interest is much lower than paid by
the United States. .

if elected an unusually capable officer. But
unfortunately 'for the public services, our

Distresslng Calamity.
daughter of LeGrand Lockwood,.Esq., (35
West 38th St., New York,) aged seven yeaIS,
attempting to take some article from the
mantle-shelf in the nursery,—in the absence
of the nurse,—her clothing was drawn in
contact with fire in the grate, and instantly
her dress was i flames. Her father and
mother,,who w in bed on the floor below,
hearing her piercing screams ran up stairs
and met her at the top enveloped in flames,
and were fearfully burned in their frantic
exertions to extinguish them. Mr. Lock-
wood’s brother Henry, and a young friend
sleeping with him were awakened by the
shrieks and rushed to the scene ; the friend,
Mr. Buckingham Hoyt, of Norwalk, catch-
ing up the blankets from the bed, and
throwing the little girl upon the. floor, rolled
her in them and smothered thefiames. She
was so badly burned that her life was des-
paired of, and her parents and uncle so
severely that they have been confined to
their beds, and helpless, ever since. Dec-
tors Thomas and Walker, and Dr. McLanc,
were prompt in reaching the house and
ministering to the sufferers, and under such
skilful treatment the patients are improving»
though still iua deplorable condition, the
mother’s case being the worst, next to,
her daughter’s. Mr. Hoyt manifested great
presence of mind, coolness and efficiency,
and the sufferers acknowledge themseIVes
greatly indebted to him, as well as to nu-
merous other friends who have been unre-
mitting in their attentions and kind acts.
At the latest accounts hopes were enter-
tained that the child may recover.

The third“ fire was in the coal and wood'
yard of A. S. Nash, and was discovered ’50
early that it was easily extinguished with-
out the aid ot‘thfe firemen. This fire had
been started by means of a lot of fine kind-

We copy the following article from lhe
Oswego Times on Richard Isaacs, a native
of this town (eldest son of Judge Benjamin
Isaacs) and whose death we briefly noticed
last week. .
~ The Late Blchar-d Isaacs.
Richard Isaacs was one of ten children
of Judge Benjamin Isaacs and Frances
Isaacs, of Norwalk, Conn. He was liberi
ally educated with a view to the ministry
of the church, but was diverted to a busi-
ness career._ ‘His early business life was
spent in Pernambuco. in South America.
At a later period, with two of his brothers,
he was engaged in commission,shipping
and forwarding business-in this, city. For:
many years the firm stood a peer of such
houses as Fitzhugh and Littlejo Changes
in the course of business, to , and the
building and use of alarger class of ves-
sels by others, finally prostrated Elem, as
many others have been prostrate in this
‘city. From this failure, Mr. Isaacs never
revived. Although he was afterward em-
ployed in the distillery, both when con-
trolled by New York capitalists and after
its purchaseby the Oswego Distilling Com-
pany. All his maturer life was given to
Oswego interests and business here.
Mr. Isaacs was always a rigid Episco-
palian, attached alike by his principles and
habits and associations to that communion.
He was one of the kindest and most charits
able of men. He was a steadfast friend.
Evan in the day of his adversity he never
lost his own self-respect or the respect of
others. Those who were his intimates
knew him only to love him for his many
manly virtues and genial traits of character.
He was devotedly attached to Oswego,
and in his latter years clung to his home
here, although friends abroad invited him
to rdposc his declining years in their so-
ciety. “Too noble to conserve a life in
base appliances,” too high-spirited to eat
the bread of dependence even among wel-
coming kindred,he has, up to the day of
his death, 'striven to live independently,
and of him it may be said that he has gone
to his rest “ sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust; like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him, and lies
down to pleasant dreams.” , ,
He has been ill for many weeks, yet his
death was a surprise not expected at this
time either by himself or his friends; yet
he was not unprepared to die, and departed
like one who falls into peaceful slumbers.
He died of disease of the heart,induciug
hydrothorax.—Oswego Times. '

very beautiful for lockets.

The Promenade Photograph,
A new and charming size. The size of the
picture, with the mount, is four by seven
inches, and are intendal, (as their name indi-
cates), for three-quarters or full length figure,
The improvement in these over the ordinary
cabinet. for standing figures appears about the
same as a high studded. room to a low one. It
gives an atmosphere and an air of freedom
that is really refreshing. The width is anoth-
er advantage as long, as the present style of
ladies’ dresses demands no more space.
