Railroad Riots. ~
Tile terrible scenes of tllelast forty-eight
hours, recall all'thp horrors hiid vividly sug-
gest to ever ' comniuility the possibilities ‘Of
the draft I‘IOIS of the war. That the railroad
employees shpuld feel aggrieved and halt in
their service is‘iiot to 'be wondered at, for
LIIC)',IIIIZJG been. ungenerously dealt with. But
when they attempt to prevent by force other
men who are willing to take their places and
do the work. at the prices offered by the
roads, these strikers forfeit the sympathy so
generally and ' iso- justly accorded them
throughout the land. And when, as in the
case at Martinsburg,Baltimore and Pittsburg,
they permit the criminal arid murderous
classes to join and take lead in arsons. pil-
lages and murders, the one sole duty of the
hour is to at once suppress tllc disorder, vin-
dicate the liiajesty of lav." and order, even
though every disturber of the peace be shot
down as mercilessly as if a wild beast. Al-
ready the fearful destruction of millions of
railroad property at Pittsburg, comprising
one hundred and twenty-five engines, miles
of freight ears, several depots and much pri-
vate p.5..,.c.~r y, is supplemented by the far-
more :ippaling loss of human life. In a few
instances the guilty have fallen, but. owing;
to the inexperience of the raw militia, many
innocent persons have sacrificed their lives.
and limbs to an unwise but most, natural cu-
riosity. The extent. of the fatal casualties is
as yet unknown, but mustaggrcgatc a large
number of lives. The President has issued
his proclamation i". ularing five states in insur-
rection, but owing to the demagogical action -‘
of the last House of- Congrcss, no adequate
resources of troops and money are at the
President's command. The governors of these
states are doing all iii their power, but so
slow has been their action that the riotors
have everywhere obtained a first advantage.
The outbreak must result disastrously in
eircryivay. Even the innocent and worthy
poor now in hungry need of help from the
charitable in all parts of our land, are in im-
luiiient danger of having the generous impul-
ses of the nation cooled, if not turned against
them. Another most serious and threatening.
aspect of these riots is the fact that it is the
flurry/n. element that most largely predomi-
nates in these strikes, while the native-born,
as a rule, are the ones eagerly accepting work
at the reduction. This perilous fact leads to
an uncomfortable suspicion of French Corn-
inunist influences as wor ng in our free Re-
public. In every sense, the railroad strike is
appalling. Defeat, lmiscry, death and de-
struction only riwait its speedy end.
The worst feature of all this striking busi-
ricss is the suffering universally entailed upon
the iiiiricent. A riot once inaugurated it al-
ways gets beyond control of the leaders. Of
course these strikers never contemplated such
a disastrous result. The movement got out
of their hands and into the control of lawless
rutliaiis bent upon pillage, arson, and whole-
' sale murder, as such riots always do. Proba-
bly not one man out. of thirty engaged in
these riots are the striking railroad men.
Millions of property was destroyed in Pitts-
burg to spite a corporation which built up the
place. \V be will pay the damage in the end?
Not. the railroad but innocent. parties, because
the public is liable for damages by a mob. In
1811-1, :1 very similar disturbance took place in
Philadelphia, and a million of dollars’ worth
of railroad property was destroyed by a mob.
The railroad company sued the county for
the amount and the courts allo red the claim.
l‘ittsburg in flames, milliofi destroyed,
hundreds of lives lost, a great corporation
probab-y ruined, and what has been gained ?
(if the killed probably half were idle cu-
riosit y seekers, who became guilty partici-
pants arid abettors in the sight of law because _
they did not obey the proclamations and retire
to their homes. . ‘
The 1\' orwalk Fire Insurance Company has
declared a send—annual dividend of five per
cent, as usual, payable August 1st. On the
first of July the company had but one out-
standing claim against them, and that a small
one iii which another company was partially
responsible. Few companies can make such
a showing. At' the annual meeting the old
Board of Directors was re-elected with the
exception of M. T. smith, Esq., whose place
was filled by the election of “fin. S. Lock-
wood, Esq. ~ ‘
Last Week’s Storm. '
The lightning struck atrec in the yard of-
Miss Mary Hoyt opposite St. Paul's Church.
Another tree on Flax Hill was shivercd. The
tall flag pole on the high grounds of E. A.
Woodward was hit and splintered and a sail.
boat at Baton Point was struck and disman-
tlcd. Fortunately hereabouts no person or
animal was harmed. At BlackRock a house
was struck and a woman killed, while her
son sitting by her side escaped serious h'urt.
. .
Every few days some unfortunate traveler
comes to us to ascertain how and when the
trains run on that romantic and somewhat ec-
centric road. Last week the regular pre-
graninie was varied by one who not being
able to find any newspaper advertisement,
saw a bill pasted at the Depot, containing,
apparently a time schedule. But their own
hill proved t’o be erroneous, and our friend
was compelled to get to Litchfield County,
via the Ilousatonic. ' We haven’t adoubt that
passengers enough are lost every week- to the
Shepaug to pay for inserting their time table
iii the whole half-dozen lavishly supported
newspapers now published here. A railroad
whose management hasn’t the sagacity to let
the public know when its trains are rrin might
as well be fenced up and done away with, for
the state of its finanpes will- very soon bring
it to such a result under such direction.
It is said that a leading feature of the Bri-
gade Encampment will be skirmish drill, and
that; Gen. Smith will deploy the men “all
over Norwalk.“ Well, we can submit to be
run over for a brief period, by two regiments
as well drilled as the 2d and 4th, under such
a disciplinarian as Gen. Smith. ‘If tlle'stragJ
glers won’t run over us when _“Off duty,”we
won‘t complain.
For the next two months the First Congre-
gational and First Baptist Societies will wor-
ship togcthcr. Rev. Mr. Hamilton is now
taking his vacation, and it has been'armilged
for his society t.o.worsliip"with the Baptists
every Sunday morning, attire Baptist church
—llO services in the evening. Next month
Rev. Mr. lentley will take his 'vacatiOn, and
Rev. Mr. Hamilton will prcaeh. " A very
good arrangement.
Why cannot oar ddetOrs, through their as-
sociation, arrange in some way to maintain
scveraltrailled nurses in Norwalk ? If some
such arrangement could be made it seems to
us that many lives might be saved in severe
cases of diptlicria, and other diseases which
often prov; fatal for want of intelligent nurs-
ing. .
Mr. Stephen Cornstock left town yesterday
for a vacation trip on the great Lakes. He
took the ears to Buffalo, and thence takes one
of those immense propellers for a tour of the
Lakes, stopping at Chicago and other leading
places. ‘

The Charter Oak.
The Papers just now are making a not very
well=discerned attack upon Mr. Benjamin
Noyes, because 11611158 happened ,to advance
the opinion that, fer the befit‘interests of the
policyholders, the Charter Oak Llfe Insur-
ance Company 'Ol'iglft" to. be saved frdmmllifi
hilation. We think the opinion ‘gbriéiirlly
prevails among the ablest insurance men» of»;
the country, that rescued from the leeches
hitherto sucking Out its Vitals, that company
could-be rehabilitated and carried on a future
career of honest prosperity,- If this cap be
done, it is clearly for 'the welfare of every'
policy holder that it should be done,indep'end-
ent of any opinion Mr. Noyes may entertain
upon the subject. The State of New Jersey,
is just new, enjoying a monopOly of that
somewhat erratic individual, and if we do

after having tied himself to the enraged bull’s
tail, for some one to “hurry up and help him

Robberies, .ArsOns, and Murders.
The, most wide spread and terrible riots
ever experienced in this country, started last
week by the lower class of firemen and brake-
men on the Baltimore &, Ohio Railroad refus-
plaees because of reduction in their wages.
At Maginsburg, 'Nest Virginia, they concen-
trated and stopped all freight .- traiug, permit-
ing mail and passenger trains to pass unmo-
lested. The Sheriff was laughed to scorn in
attempting to disperse the rioters, and the
police were overpowered, then the State Mi-
litia was called out but there being but four
companiemin the State they were not suffi-
cient and as a last resort the Governor made
arcquisition upon President Hayes for U.
S. troops which were promptly sent, and the
disturbanCe quelled in that place.
In the meantime it spread with fearful ra-
pidity to Ohio, Maryland, and Pennsylvania,
and the Gavernors of each of those States
were also obliged to call out the State Militia.
The first actual resort .to arms was in Balti-
more where the 5th and 6th Maryland Regi-
ments, in response to the Governor's call,
we're assaulted in their march to the depot to
take cars for scene‘o'f disturbance, in other
parts of the State, the 6th fired upon the mob
and killed nine persons. This caused great con-
sternation and excitement, and the Regiments
had to be kept in. Baltimore, to protect the
depot there. The'Governor also called upon
the President for assistapce and troops and
two war vessels weresent there.
But by far the most serious acts of violence
occurred at Pittsburg. Thpmilitigfirst sent
from Philadelphia; were uiialile‘ :»to' :quell the
rioters, and after cha‘rgiugfupou the crowd
andmany' Were shot ‘upon both sides, had to
virtually give up ’the‘eityfto thefrce control
of the rioters who burned lover a million dol-
lars worth of depots, workshops, engines and
cars, with freight of enurnious, but unknown
value. The militia had to concentrate and
fight their way orit'Of the city, and it is not
as yet known what has became of them.;.
Sunday afternoon the citizens organized and:-
armed themselves and put an end to thcllurn-
ing of property.
There is a stoppage of trainsat Hornellsville,
NY. on the Erie Road, and Gov. Robinson
has sent State troops there to enforce order
and is prepared to call out the entire State
Militia if necessary as is also Gov._Bedcll of
New Jersey. , . - 1 " ‘
. The U. S. Troops are to-day.(Monday) be-
ing hurried to the scene of death and destruc-
tion, and the griotcrs will soon be dispersed,
but it is feared they will make outbreaks upon
other roads and at other points, so formidi-
able is the Trainmcn’s Association.
It is claimed the riots are set on foot by
foreigners and the basest and most worthless
of the railroad employees, (I that these are
joined by lawless bands of roughs, who fire
and murder only to pillage and plunder amid
the terrible excitement. ' l

Affairs are quieter at Baltimore and at
Pittsburg. At Buffalo a mob of the Erie and
Lake Shore men drove the Central Railroad
men from their trains, discharged cargoes,

Buffalo.

dent for aid, and U. S. troops are moving

Serraxcu’s SEA WEED Toma—In the atmos-

tlrc lethargy produced by the treat takes away
the desire for wholesome food, and frequent per-
spirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those
suffering from the effects of debilitating diseases.
in order to keep a natural healthful activity of the
system, we must resort to artificial means. For
this purposc Scllcnek’s Sea Weed Tonic is very cf-
fectual. A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated- body. For dys-
pepsia, it. isinvaiuablc. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be perma-
nently cured by the drugs which are generally
employed for thatpurposc. The Sea Weed Tonic
iii its nature is totally different from such drugs.
It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact
it assists the regular operations of nature and
supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature
so much reselnblcs the gastric jrricc that it is al-
most identical with that fluid. Tire gastric juice
is the natural solvent which ill a healthy condition
of the body. causes the food to be digested; and
when this juice is not: excreted ill sufficient quan-
titles, indigestion, with all its distressing symp-
toms, tollows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the
duty of the gastricjuice when the latter is defici-

One thing is now thorough] y established. Never
since mail suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as a pain annihilat‘or and curative agent as the
Centaur Linimcnts. Those Liniments have Within
the past year cured more cases of Rheumatism,
Neuralgia,_ Stiff-joints, Cakcd Breasts, Swellings,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, etc., etc.,
than all other remedies combined. As the name of
Centaur implies half horse and half man, the Cen-
taur Liniments are for man and beast. But not the
same Linimcnt. The White Liniment is for man
and the Yellow for horses and animals. Herein
this Liniment differs from all other remedies, al-
though some of the ingredients are alike in each.
They contain the well-known Witeerazel, Arnica,
Catholic, Rock Oil, Mambo and other powerful
ingredients.

These are only samples of thousands upon thou-

and Ointments in existence are not: doing one-tenth
the good whichris done by these admirable Centaur
Linimcrits. For Frost-bitesJStin'gs, Grits, Itéll'

bonc, Sweeney, Wind Gulls, Poll-evil, Scratches,
etc., on horses, the Yellow Centaur Linilnent is
equally good. They are certain in their effects;
they are pleasant to use, they are handy and they
are cheap. No family should be without Centaur
