An incident, showing what inconvenience
a trifling thing may cause, occurred a few
days since in the western portion of the towu.
A gentleman and his wife had finished their
dinner, the weather inviting, and they had
contemplated visiting a distant portion of
their farm, thought there could be no better -
opportunity. After locking the house they
left by a rear door. The latch to this door
had a habit of staying up when raised. It
could be operated from the inside only. In
the belief that this lateh would stay up as
usual, the pair passed out, locked the door
and took the key, thinking tn nay!!!)
n00”: gefimgrmxfle‘l’i‘tliéy returned. Dur-
ing their absence somebody tried to get into
the house through this door, and in their ef-
forts to open it the latch fell. Towards night
tired and hungry the pair came back, applied
the key which shoved the bolt, but, somehow
the door wouldn’t open. They yanked and
pushed, pried and pricked, peaked into the
keyhole and through the crack under the door
to try and see what hindered. Then they
stood, as if at bay, in a sort, of quandary,
wondering what was the matter with the old
thing. “ Could that bitch have dropped,”
they asked? “If so we are in a ,fix," said
‘ they, and they went for the cellar windows.
No use; too small; couldn’t get in thus.
_ There was a second -story' window unbolted.
but the gentleman hadn’t climbed a ligutning
. ;od since boyhood when he had been out late
lone. night and his father locked the house on
:him. He was too old now to think of such a
thing. The lady Suggestcdothg garret, win.
dow as a last resort. Capital ideal ' With a
long ladder she ascended while he held it
steady, and being the smaller of thetwo she
thought to force herself through the window,
descend to the kitchen and lift the perplexing
latch. The ladder slipped as she was about
to grasp the window'and there was a loud
yell, responded to from below by, “ hold on
up there, don’t be afraid, I’m looking at you.”
Then she giggled, and that tickled him two:-
ty feet below, and betwixt them both the
ladder was a goon deal agitated. Finally the
window was opened. Conscious of her abil-
ity to crawl through as small a hole as any
other woman, she made. a: dive f0.r the garret
floor. Silo struck when half over the wi udow
casing unable to advance or retreat, though
‘ high in the air the position was not calcula-
ted to elevate her Spirits. She shouted to have
him let up on the ladder—she wanted more
leverage, but her tones were only heard by
the mice in the garret crannies. From below
he counselled to use caution and a little more
Strength, but how could the solesof her shoes
hear. After much struggling to be released
from the tightest fit ever encountered, urged
on by the ladder as it' was heroically lifted
from below, she landed on the garret floor;
the recreant latch was found and made to do
its duty, and order and quiet restored. Those
door fixings will be repaired, ere the worthy

On Thursday afternoon, about five o’clock,
another horrible calamity occurred in New
York, an explosion which is still involved in
mystery, and by which nearly fifty persons
were wounded, and ten or more killed. It
occurred in the great confectionery establish-
ment of Greenfield 66 Son, Barclay street,
and was at first supposed to have been caused
by the explosion of the boiler. It has since
been found that the boiler did not explode, it
having been found intact. The‘ explosion
was probably of some'kfnd of gas, as the fire
spread from collar to roof with wonderful ra-
pidity, cutting off the escape of many of the
operatives, of whom a large proportion were
young girls and boys. The Holiday trade
was brisk and two sets of hands were em-
ployed, the day set having just left. Some
of the walls were thrown down, killing pas-
sers by in the street. It was at first supposed
that at least one hundred persons were killed
outright. '

For The Norwalk Gazette,
That Road Case of Mr. Horton’s.
After a patient hearing, pro and con'
through more than forty years ; during
which the fullest opportunity was afforded
to all who were opposed to the road, to be
heard, and the Committee personally exam-
ined the old road and route for the new one.
as well as the section of country for which
the road is particularly desired ; the unani-
mous decision was to lay out the road.
Every possible cllort was made before the
Superior Court to have the decision set aside
but without success. The case was then
carried to the Supreme Court of Errors, with
the same result.
Where the members of the Committee are
known, they need no defense.
They are all capable, honest, and honorable
men.
Mr. Marvin has repeatedly been selected
by ,N orwalk, as in this instance, to arbitrate
for the town.
Messrs. Editors. Have you personally in-
vestigated this matter, as the committee
have; before you say, that the finding of the
Committee, that the road is “of common
convenience and necessity” is not in accord-
ance with the facts of the case; as I under-
stand you to do in the GAZETTE of this week.
One would not naturally conclude from the
way in. which money has been spent in this
contest, that taxes are “hard to raise,” more
having been already expended than the
amount. for which the Messrs. White gave
their bond to build the whole road.

The GREAT REPUTATION
Which chctlne has attained in all partsot‘ the
country as a
Great and Good Medicine,
and the large number of testimonials which are
constantly being received from persons who have
been cured by its use, are conclusxvc proof of its
great value. It: is recommended by physrcians
and apothccaries. As a Bloou-I’urlfieraud Health
Restorer it has no equal. Vegetmc is no: prepar-
cd for a fancy drink made from poor liq uors,
which debilitates the system and tends to destroy
health instead of restoring it, ,
Are not the many testimonials given for the dif-
ferent complaints satisfactory to any reasonable
' person suffering from disease that they can be
cured? ' Road the different testimonials given,
' and no one can doubt. In many of these cases the
persons say that their pain and suffering cannot
be expressed. as in cases of Scrolula. Where ap-
parently, the whole body was one mass or corrup-
tion. 1: Vegotine will relieve pam,cloanse,punfy

clusive proof, it you are .u. sufferer. you can be
cured ? Why is this mcdrclne performing such
great cures ? It works in the blood, in the circu-
latingfluid. It. can be truly culledlhe Grout Blood
Purifier. The great source of disease originates
in the blood; and no medicine that does not act
directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any
just claim upon public attention, When the blood
becomes lifeless and stagnant, either from change
of weather or of climate. want of exercise, irreg—
ular diet, or from any other cunsc,the Vegetlne
will renew the blood, carry 011‘ the putrid humor-s,
cleanse the Stomach, regulate the bowels. and im-
part a tone of vigor to the whole body The con-
viction is, in the public mind as well as in the
medical profession, that the remedies supplied by
the Vegetable Kingdom are more safe, more suc-
cessful in the cure of disease, than mlueral medl-
cines. Vegetino is of com osed roots, barks, and
herbs. It is pleasant to to. 'e and is perfectly safe
