. Tim HANGING.—Next Thursday lathe day
appointed for the hanging of Edwin Hoyt,
the murderer. The Farmer says: “Sheriff
Sanford is proceeding with the preparations
for the execution without regard to the var -
ious steps that are being taken to secure a
delay of the execution, with the final object
of securing acommutation of sentence. The
hanging is‘to take place in the large upper
room of the jail, formerly used as the work;
shop.’ This apartment or ball will comfort—
ably accommodate 200 “or 300 people, but
probably much less‘than‘this number will be
present.” _
,P. S.—We hear that the plan of hanging
him in the hall has been given up, and that
he will be hung in the, yard around which a
sixtecufeet fence is .now being erected. - .

Company E, 4th Reg’t. C. N. G.
Norwalk again boasts of two Military
Companies, one of long-standing in the
city and one just organized in the Borough
to fill the place formerly occupied by Co.
G. Last Tuesday evening the members of
the new Company assembled at the head—
quarters of the Fire Police, and under orders
from the adjutant-general proceeded to the
election of three commissioned ofiicers.
There was a good attendance, and the elec—
tion passed ofi harmoniously, resulting in the
choice of the following named gentlemen:
Captain, Addison A. Betta; First Lieuten-
ant, Ferdinand B. Smith; Second Lieuten—
ant, Daniel C. Nash. Captain Betta has re-
cently held the rank of First Lieutenant in
the Burnside Guards, and is in every way
competent and qualified for the position;
Lieut. Smith was formerly connected with s
New York city Regiment, and has always
kept' alive. his interest in military affairs;
Mr. Nash’s experience in drilling has not‘
been entirely with. the linen article. as some
suppose, for has he not' been under the
instruction of Captain Meeker, in the Fire
,- Police, forseveral years? The company is
to be' congratulated upon this choice of

somewhat earlier than desired, but it is im-
possible to lease the boat after the New

ed forces. for the occasion, and appointed

The managers of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford Railroad Company :10 not
seem to fear the Parallel Road, or anything
else. They are giving fresh evidence of their
confidence in the long continuation of their
monopoly, and have recently adopted rogula-
cutting OR of all “stop over” checks. Here-
afterno passenger will be allowed to buy a
ticket for Boston and stop over night, or
until the next train, at Hartford or any other
station. This is a right. which has _been
universally conceded to passengers heretofore
throughout the country, East and West. The
right of passengers to stop over, has been
decided in the courts, and out West agents
'of leading roads freely admit that tickets are
good until used, and that passengers can
stop over as often and as long as they please.
But thiscorporation is rich and has endless
money” to spend in defending lawsuits, while
passengers have little inclination to fight such
a corporation single handed, although they
might make more money by doing so than in
any ordinary business. Under these circum-
stances the Road has the might and passen-
gers must submit. But how will this rule
work with summer tourists ? and will special
rights be granted to this class which are
denied to regular patrons of the road? We
presume this order is really an attempt to
protect the Road from imposition by the
constantly increasing class of commercial
travelers who buy through tickets and seek
to stop everywhere, and 'many of whom
think they' can gouge such a corporation
every chance they' get. The Road 'does
everything in its power to get the beat of
them, they say, and therefors they-are justi-
fied in trying to “beat" the Road. But are‘
honest travelers to be made to suffer simply
because the officers of the Road do not know
how to manage the drummer trsfilc? No,
gentlemen, and the order should be rescinded
because it is wrong. Protect yourselves from
imposition from all sources, if possible, but
do not do so by forcing a greater imposition
upon your honest patrons.
' Another order is a bold attempt to control
afnd even to stop all navigation of our rivers
and harbors, above their drawbridges. .Draw
tenders are instructed not to open their draw-
bridgcs within ten minutes of the schedule
time of hay train, or when any train is seen
or heard approaching, die. As trains run
frequently, it will thus quite often happen,
evsnif trains are invariably on time, that
vessels will have to wait ten minutes for one
trainand then five or ten minutes for the
next, and possibly still longer for a third.
next season vessels will have no rights that
this corporation will feel bound to. respect,
for if. theten minute rule can be sustained,
on the same principle they can close the
draws half an hour, and if half an hour then
all day, and eventually lock their bridges,
discharge the, tenders, and close navigation
entirely. They evidently expect this rule to
cause acommotion, but then they are pre—
pared for litigation. The immediate result
of this will ban perfectly natural retaliation
on the part of masters of vessels and sailors
geneially,’and increased danger to travelers,
and consequent liability of the Road to in-
creased claims for havy damages. And
just here it is curious to note that this Road
which seeks to control absolutely the naviga-
tion of ourrivers is the very Road which
once succeeded in preventing the bridging of
the Housatonic river above their bridges
because such a bridge would obstruct the
navigation of the riverl
