0n last Saturday afternoon, the 13th inst,
as Mr. Willie Comatock, of Norwalk,-—or
Four Corners, as it is more commonly known,
—was returning home from Stamfords—his
horses a young and spiritéd team, became
frightened, and wheh opposite the residence
of Wm. R. Lockwood, Esq, they became
unmanageable, and suddenly plunging, threw
Mr. Comstock from the wagon. Fortunately
he was not seriously injured and the anxious
spectators, now surprised to see him recover
and start running vigorously in pursuit of
his team, in less than a moment's time. He
succeeded in stopping them quickly and soon
received assistance. Among the ladies and
gentlemen offering assistance, Mr. Comstock
recognized some old friends, whom he had
not met in a long time,.-—Mr. and Mrs.
Theodore Prince and Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester
Remington. These kind friends opened
their house to Mr. Comstock, and didall
they could to make him comfortable. He
resumed his journey .after a short time,
with the happy congratulations of his friends
on his good luck in receiving ‘0 more in.
juries, and also many compliments on his
presence of mindin time of danger.

Conductor “ e” Wallace of the notorious
Milk Train on the New Haven road, is a
great practical joker and believes not only
in specie resumption, but in keeping it in
constant circulation. The other morning,
out of New York, _a passenger who had prev-
iously a fiicted Wallace by giving him a poor
cigar, asked the condctor if he would furnish
him small bills for a ten—he wanted the bills
for immediate use on leaving the train.
Certainly, said “Ike,” “prOduce the scrip."
Supposing in confidence that W. would pass
out the bills, the passenger yielded up the
note which the conductor, chuckling, folded
with. about $75, of other bills and placed the
roll in his vest pocket. He then brought to
light a lot of silver coins, from among which
be selected “trades” and halves to the amount
, of ten dollars, and to the consternation of
the applicant loaded him down with the

The Congregational Excursion.
Our Congregational friends were again un-

excursion. A storm came up Monday night,
and on Tuesday morning the weather had no
fair promise. The bells rung, however, and
thé boat started of with just about half
enough cxcursionists on board to pay expen.
sea. The weather cleared up, the sun com-
ing out scorching hot. There were enough-
people on the boat to make it pleasant, and
there was no annoyance from being over-
crowded. The Wheeler and Wilson Band
entertained the voyagers with delightful mu-
sic, and Savin Rock was reached at an early.
hour. Several hours were happily passed in
the groves, and then all repaired on board and
the vessel started for Norwaik. A heavy
shower was seen encountered,but as all were
well sheltered, it only added variety to the
sail. The boat reached South Norwalk be-
fore six O’clock, and discharged her passen-
gers in time for the trains. Getting to the
cars in the rain was an unpleasant feature.

Fairfield Insurance Company.
The‘Fairfield Fire Insurance Company is
out with an announcement of a dividend of
four per cent, payable.on 22d inst. 'The
statement of the Company shows a prosper-
ous condition, the gross assets being about
the same as in January last, $312,802.00.
The prevailing low rates of insurance, and
depression of values of all kinds of assets
make a marked effect upon the statements of
Insurance Companies, and we think the
Fairfield has done remarkably well consider-
ing the times.
The reduction of regular dividends from
five per cent. to four, is a step in the right
direction and indicates a safe and judicious
management of the finances of the Company.
L. H. Moore, Esq, a gentleman of large
wealth, and well known in our community,
was elected a director in this Company at
the annual meeting of stockholders on Wed-
nesday last. The old officers were re-elected

fully approved and commended.

down from Danbnry, and many passengers
are expected from the line Of the road to. en-
joy the sail. Mr. Ackert will furnish refresh-

A MOUNTAIN or TIN—Tasmania or Van
Dieman’s Land, the largest ~ island to the
south of Australia, is rapidly becoming noted
for the quality and extent of its tin supplies.“
Four years ago the valueof its exports of tin'
ore was $35,000, while last year they amount-
ed to nearly $1,500,000. One of the most
productive regions isthe Mount Bischoff dis-
trict. but this has now been eclipsed by the
discovery of a tin mountain at Mount Heems—
kirk, on the west coast. The “wash-dirt"
is some twenty feet thick, and produces
about 25 per-cent of tin; but the existence of
solid seams of this . metal, traversing the"
mountains in veins several feet in width, has
been demonstrated. Some “nu ts” weigh-
ing several hundred weight eac have been
found, yielding cent per cent of pure metal.
Mixed with tin, ‘too, is . a small quantity of
old, gibout ten ounces to the ton, not suffi-
cient in itself to render it worth seeking, but
addinwsiderably to the tin miner’s profit;

LIGHTNING AND Tunas—It cannotbe too
often repeated at this season of the year,
when thunder storms are so frequent that
one of the most dangerous places in which
to seek shelter is under a large tree. or all
the persons and animals killed by lightning
probably eighttenths have been destroyed
under or near trees. Oak trees more fre-
quently than any others draw lightning from
the clouds, mrtly, perhaps, because the close
grain of the oak increases its conducting
power, and partly because the sap_ of the oak
contains a large quantity of iron in solution
which by impre noting the wood and bark, -
has the same e cct. But no tree In this
- country enjo s the exemption of the Indian
banyan, whic at least as the Hindoo believe,
is never touched b lightning. 1' The Pitts-
lmrg Commercial es the recent disaster at
a picnic near that city as a text from which

avording trees in thunder storms, and makes
the practical suggestion that the proprietors
of groves frequently rented for picnics and
such entertainments in' the Summer should.

'I'he determination of General Sherman’s
son, Thomas Ewing Sherman, to become a
priest, revives the romantic story of the life
and love of one of General Scott's daughters.
As the story goes. this daughter fell deeply
in love with a member of one of the foreign
legations. The attachments was reciprocal,
but the match was so bitterly opposed by the
old hero Of Lundy’s Lane that it was broken
off. She cared nothing for the world after
that, and very soon was received as a nun in
the Georgetown convent. Her lover return:
ed to his native country and was soon on-
rolled in the priesthood of the Catholic
church. - In subsequent years he was order-
ed tO Georgetown college and took his turn
in hearing the confessions of the nuns at the
convent. On one of these occasions Miss
Scott knelt in the confessional to her former
lover, and under such circumstances a re-
cognition ‘took place. She fainted, went
into a rapid decline and soon after died, and
he left the country again never to return. So
a Washington gossip declares.

Woman’s Restlessness and Dis-

It is highly improbable that such an indi-
vidual as a perfectly satisfied, contented
woman exists. If there be. one whose p'o-
sition-tin societ'y'and general surroundings
are entirely in mind with her ambition
and desires, the happy creature has not yet
been discovered, and her pleasing and bene-
ficial example has been lost upon her dis-
contented sisters. In whatevcr condition
or circumstances she may be placed, there
is invariably something beyond her reach
that is essential to her happiness. This con.
dition of affairs has existed throughout all
time. We are told that the Garden of Eden
possessed every possible condition requisite
for the complete comfort and, happiness of
its occupants. There is no doubt that-their
condition was infinitely better than that of
any inhabitants of this mundane sphere. to-
day, and that they should have been
supremely happy and contemed. But whether
it was from the lack of dressmakers or. other
causes which history does not record, our
