One ,of our assessors suggests as a means
of better equalizing the many unequal ca-
ses of property assessments now prevailing,
that if parties when they hand in their lists
would pin to its. written explanation in de-
tail, of their property liable to taxation, it
would aid the Board in their earnest desire
to do equal and exact justice to all. This
is especiab important in matters of real es-
tate. .

_ Railroad Accident. .
Another distressing accident - occurred at
the New Haven depot, Friday night. A
brukeman named Henry Horton, on the
freight train which left New Haven all”) p.
m., of that day for New York, when almost
halting at our station, ran over the deck of
the box cars as they were paSsing the lower
end of the freight platform and was struck
in the head by the projecting water pipe
which depends outward from the tank to
supply the engines. The blow. probably
stunned him and knocked him between the
cars onto the ‘track below. , The wheels
crushed his right arm and leg in a terrible
manner, and a bad scalp wound was found
on his head, probably caused by the pipe.
Dbctors Hill, Pardee and Burke were at
" ‘ once summoned andoas he was still cou-
seious, amputated the lacerated limbs, but
he. soon aftersuuk and expired, but not un-
til he had given his name and residence and
» the names of his parents, who reside at Liv-
ingston, N. Y. He is said to have been a
most temperate and valuable employee,—
ineeed it was asserted by the Conductor that
be believed him' one of the best young men
on the road. An inquest was duly held and
the facts as above narrated, affirmed. There
was a bit of curious evidence given by Con-
ductor Fahen, He testified that a rule of
the company forbade their men from run-
ning over the decks of the cars because in
repeated eases the bridges, telegraph wires,
water pipes and signals are so near their
tops as to nearly scrape their roofs, and the
_practice is deemed dangerous. Neverthe-
less many of the freight cars have the high
or roof brake handles only and a man is
obliged to go over the tops to control them.
The jury ofinquest wisely concluded to rec-
ommend that these Outrigged water pipes be
at least adjusted with side hinges so as to
be swung against the tank houses when not
in use.

Alaugbable scene occurred at Prowitl’s
Corner yesterday. Mine Host Morehouse
was trying to wash out the street sewer, and
had a length of rubber fire hose turned into
the opening with a full head of water on.
' A heavily loaded coal cart was driven over
the hose as Morehouse and. another man
were holding the hose down. The giant
inside the hose promptly resented such
rough treatment, tore the hose from their
grasp, sent 'them sprawling, wet them
through and through, and commenced a
series of very alarming gyrations but laugh-
able in theextreme to spectators - at a safe
distance. Newcomb sprang to the hydrant
and-wrenched the power from the monster
before he had time to accomplish. much
mischief, >

Co. have completed their birds eye view of
Norwalk, and distributed the same to their
subscribers. The execution of the work is
very creditable to the publishers, giving
good and remarkably faithful views of near-
_ly every building in the center of the two
villages. Judging from the work itself,
however, one would think that the “ view”
was taken from Gregory’s Point, as South
Norwalk is given on a large scale whilc’it
tapers down to a fine point as it approaches
the center of the town. City folks however,
have every reason to, be summed with‘ the
prominence given their section. We believe

Mr. 'Francis E. Quin lard has in his passes-
sion on old document of much interest. It
is “A Plan of the City of New York from
an actual survey" made by Iames Lyne, and
dedicated “To His Excellency Iohn Mout-
gomerie Esq Capt Gen] and Gov in’Chief or
his Majeslie’s Provinces of New York, New
Jersey, are...” by Wm. Bradford. It bears
the city seal, surmounted by a crown, with
the inscription “Col. Robt. Lanrtiug, Mayor,
1728." Two British War Frigates, dischar-
ging broadsides, are represented in the bar-
bor, showing Britannia‘s rule. “The city
was divided _into North Ward, East Ward,
West Ward, South Ward, and Montgomer-
ie’s Ward, It extended on the east side of
Broadway to‘Frankfort street, above which
was a swamp, fresh water pond, common,
&e. ; on the west of Broadway,“Wind Mill
Lane" (now Courtlandt street) ‘is the last
street, above which is "Kings Farm." A
powder house was located near where the
present City Hall is,aml Ciratham street was
then the “High Road to Boston." Broad-
way ended where the Post Ofilce now is,
and just there was a Rope Walk. The pres-
.ent Battery then contained a fort (Fort
George, built on the site of the original
Dutch Fort Amsterdam,) and parade ground,
and there was a ship yard at the lower end
of White Hall. The locality now known as
the “swamp" was then called “Beekman’s
Swamp,” and was on the outskirts of the
city. Some of the old names of streets have
been retained,bul many have been changed,
especially those peculiarly English, such as
King, Queen, Crown,Princes, Duke, George,
, &C. King’s Chapel, built 1694,and the Gov!
ernor's House, were inside the fortification;
the City Hall on W all street fronting Broad;
the Exchange at the foot of Broad street;
Trinity church in the English churchyard,
present location ; Presbyterian Meeting
House on Wall near Broadway. It is very
interesting to compare this map with the
plan of the New York of to-day, in studying
the growth of the great American metropo-
lis. ‘
Mr. Quintard has also shown us a. copy
of “The Philadelphia Gazette and Universal
Daily Advertiser," of Monday, 23d Februa-
ry,1795. The paper had an excellent ad-
pers of that day contained but little local
intelligence or interesting reading of any
kind. ‘

We again call attention to the advertise-
ment in another column of the Organ
Opening in the Wilton Congregational
church ,Tuesday evening,and bespeak for the
choir and all interested, a full house. After
the Concert the audience wilindjourn to the
Lecture-room where the Young People’s So-
cial Union of Wilton are to hold a Jubilee,
when they will give the friends present,_not
only an opportunity to rejoice together on
the consummation of their work, but also
.serve refreshments free. We observe the
names of some of the vocalists are familiar
to the residents of Norwalk and vicinity,
and if they can sing as well as they can
teach, we will have reason .to be proud.
Ma. FRANK Contract: is to serve the socie-
ty as Organist, and we can congratulate him
on having so exeelicnt an instrument on
which to perform. We expect to hear-a
good report of the spiritual condition of the
church the coming 'winter, for surely, with
such a pastor as the Rev. S. J. M. Merwin
and with the support of such a people, it
must prosper. Go to the Concert to-night.

in Natural Inn lamentable Frnlss.
the Vineland, N. J. Independent, by Mr. Lan-
dis on the 19th of March last. Yesterday’s
telegrams annbnnce the death of the Editor
on Sunday morning last, after having car-
ried the ball in his head for over seven
months. The distressing circumstances as
narrated at’ the time, were to the effect
that Carruth puplislied avile and abusive
paper, which sought to keep alive an
interest in its miserable existence, by'the
abuse and ridicule it could heap upon any
one of the citizens of the placeit pleased to
assail. Mr. Landis was represented to have
been an unusually public-spirited man who
had done much to improve and advance the
interests of his town, but was alga somewhat
eccentric, and of a peculiarly, sensitive na-
turé. Week after week the Independent
newspaper lampobned him, and pit Osied
him before the public in the most brutal and
offensive way. His wife. more sensitive
than be, it is said, went insane over attacks,
and after finding that he had no legal ' rc-
dress, (because the Editor had neither char-
acter nor property to make geod at law any
damages the court should award.) in a mo-
ment of frenzy went after his 'tormentor and
fired a pistol shot into his head. He then
'gave himself up to the public, readily con-
fessing allhe had done. Carruth continuing
to live, Laudis was after a time releaesd on-
$50,000 bail and has. since been at large,
What this new and fatal termination of his
raéltfu‘ctiwilltresult in, remains to be deter-
mined by the courts. If he had taken-a
cowhide in‘his handsand given the assassin
of his character the whipping his written
assaults so richly‘ merited, the public would
have applauded his acts, but by the deadly
_ assault he so mistakenly made, he has
to th’e‘dcepest distress. While many will
be ready to. say "served him right," the
cooler judgment of all good people will de-
plore the event. But the terrible lesson may
be of service if in any way it is calculated
to deter the public from giving its aid and
support to a class of papers which have re-
cently sprung up, and which without .any
position} influence or responsibility» wring
indifferent to starve them out. When a
newspaper man becomes so characterless
and debased as to crawl vermin-like on the
body politic and suck up its filth only to
besmear-those who he knows are powerless
to "strike back"—impotcnt alike of the
power or desire to do any good, starvation
is the right measure for the people to adopt,
and the cowhide, not the bullet, the proper
retaliatoryweapou- for the individual, until
ottr criminrl laws are so amended that such
miscreants may bcbrought to the legal pun,
isbment they so richly merit.

Tar. Gonnan Roma—Rev. W. 'H. B. Mar-
ray’s new religions and family journal has
made its appearance and in every respect
fulfils the anticipations of the public. It is a
handsdme quarto with excellent editorials
and much other reading that will at once
give, it a place at every fireside. Tire initial
number shows that the new paper will be
ably conducted and that it will fill the place
which it is designed to fill. The managers
of the enterprise claim that the want of
such a paper is one long felt, and that the
religious papers now in the field do not
meet this want. Rev. W. H. H. Murray is
editor-in-chief and W. H. Merrill ‘ assistant
editor. The several special departments
have been placed in com etent- hands. arid
the new journal starts 0 under the most
favorable auspices with a promise that it
will attain a large circulation. It certainly
deserves substantial encouragement.

therefore _ generally understood, that every
saloon-keeper who applies and pays his li-
cense fee of _one hundred dollars, and gives
a bond for one thousand dollars, is entitled
to the privilege of selling,'but it'only author-
izes the seleclmen of the [town to recom-
mend ccrtain applicants to the county com-
missioners for license. The vote did not
decide that every place now open should be
re.licensed,but simply that the selectmen be
empowered to recommend same, whether
one or more. Now who shall be so recom-
mended ?
The law provides (Pub. Acts, 1874) that
“Said license or licenses shall only be given
to such person or persons as shall be rec-
ommended by a majority of the selectmen
of the town where such business is to be
carried on, as suitable and fit therefor."
Mark the Words, “suitable and fit therefor."
The Revised Statutes use the- word “suita-
his," only, without changing the force of the
law.
It puzzles us to comprehend what consti-
tutes a proper qualification for liquor-sellm
ing. With all- me respect to every salooa-
keeper, and craving pardon for any misrepé
reseutations, we may inquire if it is not the
case, that the whole business is so bad in
its nature, corrupt in its associations and
damaging in its consequencesuhat no moral
quality can for a moment be regarded nec-
essary to conduct it. Honesty, purity, dc-
voutncss, veracity, uprightness, respectabil-
‘ity, conscrentiousness, or any other virtue,
are not i-equisiteso far as informed: and it
is the misfortune of the busine"ss,as it is one
of the inseperable,‘ factors of its character,
that probably a majority of those géngaged
in it, (in mnnylpl‘sces) are 3 so .atrociously
morality interchangeable terms.
“ " laid be interesting to know what
- . id or legislators had in mind when
thhyetng fed the. phrase, :‘fsuitable and fit
therefoiifi’i It could not have been a moral
standard, for no matter how bad or vicious
a man may be, he is stillf‘suitable" for rum
dealing, aud‘any scape-grace would accord-
ingly be entitled to-the right.. "Our Connect-
icut statesmen could not have intended such
,gn interpretation. And if it was not a
.mu'st refer the question to the lawyers-
But the law‘ probably means, that only
the best men who apply shall be recom.
mended for license. Some are undoubtedly
better than others, and rank themselves
among the most respectable citizens. But
this very respectability and social standing
so that the object of the license law, viz. to
control and restrict the business, is wholly de-
feated. For who can deny that wealth and
social influence exalts,fortifies and increases
the rum concern, as it does a branch of
honest industry. And that the license law
the fact that it is classed under the head of
“Crimes and Punishments. (Pub. Acts 1874.
Now then, if the worst men were proba-
bly not designed as propei subjects for li-
cense in the eyes of the law, and if the best
applicants Ought not to be'licensed, first,
because their good phases“ of character
wdhld dignity the‘business and make it more
temperate, and second, because the good
and respectable _are unsuitable for liquor
selling, and should be in a better calling,
who,‘w'e ask, should be licensed? Will some
one please solve the dilemma .9
But again if a man has violated the li-
cense law during the year, he is not “suita-
ble and fit" to he re-Iicensed.
Now it is generally believed that the law
prohibiting the-sale to minors, drunkards
and on Sunday, to say nothing about adult-
erated liquors,,is violated in" one or all of
these points by-nearly every dealer in town;
audit the townfvoted for license by a ma-
jorit y, became fIw’lato would be kept, who will
say 'fbat those ”who disregard thelaw ought
to be licensed again. ,
Wherein would the town he the worse fo :
a reduction of one-third_the number of rum
“No License." and among many of the best
citizens. Suppose also a further reduction
should bemadeiou‘t o‘f regard for the ladies
'of the town who are largely in favor of the
abolition of . the whole trafilc, because wo-
men and children suffer the most shame and
disgrace from drinking husbands and fa-
thers, what would be the moral, social, po-
litical or religiougjdisatlvantage to any indi-
vidual or family in the town.
Morever, look at a certain street not three
miles ooh—count the liquor saloons on one
sidc'from end to end, and see whether your
fingers Will suffice to tell their number.
~ What earthly use is there for such a nest
mills or soap factories.» So many school
houses or chapels in the same space would
be booted off the street in less'than three
weeks, and‘yet less money would be'requir-
ed to make them’a success, than is now re-
quired to drive these gin mills,withall their
accessories of gambling and rooms of un-
certain fame; Why notstop six weight of
them ? , '
Will not the Selectmen, Messrs. Taylor,
‘ Hyatt and Selleck,.do for themselves, the
town, and'the cause of humanity the honor,
to issue the smallest number of ”recommend-
ations to the commissioners for license; and
will the prosecuting agent, “whose duty it
shall be diligently: to inquire into ail viola-
tions of the laws relating to the sale of spirit-
uous or intoxicating liquors, ale or layer beer,
and shall prosecute therefor," give them his
aid, so that we may have at least a partial
mitigation of an evil that threatens to rank
itself as’one of the direst of internal scour.

Pnoainrrlox in Wamnnuar.—The Cour-
ant says: Theunexpected vote of Water-
bury for no liCcnse was not, as was at first
supposed, the result of efi‘orls on the part of
liquor dealers who thought nolicense would
mean free rum. It was due entirely to the
influence of the Roman Catholic priest; Fa
ther Ly ncb, 'who is an earnest'prohibition
ist, and brought out the .votes of all the
Catholic temperance societies in favor of the
no license system. Moreover, the people
seem to be in earnest about it, and a union
league has been formed to prosecute at once
all violations of the law. The liquor deal-
ers made every effort lobring out an oppo-
sing vote bnt were badly beaten. That pub-
lic sentiment were brought to such aaondi-
tion in Waterbury is due to the abuse of the
license system which was sanctioned by the
democratic selectmen and commissioners.
In a city of only 13.000 inhabitants there‘
' were 117 drinking saloons, many of them of
the vilest order. Every loafer who wanted
to start a gin mill was licensed and the re-
sult was that the crimes for which drunken--
ness is responsible were gently increased,
and an inevitable reaction took place. The
no license system,if carried out as effectual-
ly as now seems probable, will accomplish
much good. But it will bear heavily upon
the German population, who are usually
temperate. but have been from babybood
accustomed to having their beer, and will
regard the law which puts them to such in-
convenience as arbitrary and uurepubliean.
“But they may be consoled by the knowledge ’
that this is not the first instance where the
temperate and law-abiding have had to suf-
fer for the sins of the intempcrate and law-
less. Where the licensc system is carried
out as it has been in Waterbuy, contrary to
the letter and the spirit of the law, such re-
actions may be expected.

Danfl looked. There was certainly a mark-
cd fesembiance between Dunn and our old
Mexican War Hero, as he looked thirty
years ago Neighbor Beldcn would have
created a more profound impression as a
mounted policeman if' he had ridden Dunn’s
horse! It may have been the horse, afterall,
that made Dunn look so much like Scott?
We never saw friend A. H. Camp’sdia5
phragm portray its mluudity to such capti-
vating advantage. His lung development
—just below his police belt—is something
prodigious, as seen beneath the circling
curves of his bright blue coat. Taken all in
all, the personale, the drill, and the uniforms
of our fire police, mounted and on foot,
were a joy to behold. It was alike, :1 credit
to the Borough and to themselves. Few

m'euted as it was by this special "Cupl"in

gracefully to the admiring crowds, would
revive the memories of the days of Wash-
ington and Jackson and the better days of
the Republic, ctr? Or the Mayor as Gen.
Scott and Dunn as Gen. Burnside, would
make a most admirable role.
Next time, too, Camp and Duke must be
mounted. Why .not utilize them as body
guard for Dunn or the Mayor. What shad-
ows these riders would cast—before!

abolished. Mr. Bangs, superintendent of
the railway postal service; is 'said to have
these fears. The discontent of Mr. Vander-

the fast mail, is said to arise from the fact
that the Pennsylvania Central carries pass-
‘gers on its fast mail trains. This, the Van-
derbilt roads, under their contract with the
