'FHGSday’ July 26. 1881-
The President.
. Anxiety Phdalarmfilled every breast again
"nonsense” morning to Sunday night, at
. the unfavorable turn in the President’s con-
~ .dition.-J Although the formation of an ab-
scess was among the things stated by the at-
tending physicians as probable, the chill,high
pulse and increased temperature created an
alarm greater than felt during the three
weeks of alternate hopes and fears which
have lifted up and let down the hopes of the
the nation.
The latest advices from the President are
all re-assuring and seem to show that Satur-
day's relapse was due to causes which have
been successfully removed. It is positively
stated that all fears that blood-poisoning
had set in are dismissed by the attending
surgeons. No symptoms of malaria have
developed, and the physician hope thdt they
may be prevented by the regular administra-
tion of quinine, although four of the persons.
in attendance upon the President have been
seized With malaria since he was confined to
the White House. On Saturday, between
morning and midnight, the President had
three chills; Sunday he had none; he enjoy-
ed good sleep and retained his food, and his,
fever abated. Drs. Hamilton and Agnew,
one of whom will always be with the Presi—
dent hereafter, both expressed themselves in
‘hopeful terms to Mrs. Garfield, stating that
no alarm need be felt if there should be slight
chills, as another complication of the kind
just dealt with could be promptly met. Last
evening Dr. Rayburn openly expressed the
opinion that the President would recover,
and it was the general impression about the
White House that the crisis, which began
with the unfavorable turn on Friday night,
had been passed in safety. Dr. Hamilton
said to Mrs. Gsrfield,'“We think it safe to
say that the immediate cause’of alarm which
has existed forthe last two days is removed."
The phrase from the President’s tender
message to his soldier comrades,rend by Gen.
Sherman at the unveiling of the McPherson
"statue in Ohio, has an added pathos now—“l
know the dear old State is behind me." The
whole Nation is-bchind the stricken President
in his new pain and trial, with sympathy
and prayer and strong hope.
LATER.

WASHINGTON, July 25, 9 a. m.
The President passed a more comfortable
night, with no return of chills. Doingnicely.
Pulse 96; temperature 98%.
THE LATEST.

The President’s condition is still favora-
ble. There is no fever. Pulse 104.

Dr. Anderson.
Rev. Joseph Andegson, D. D., of Water-
bury, and twenty years ago pastor of the
First Congregational church here, occupied
his old pulpit on Sunday. The house was
unusually crowded both morning and evening
and the audiences treated to two exceedingly
able, interesting and practically useful dis-
, courses. Dr. Anderson, since he left Nor—~
walk, has not only the exceptional honc’of
“D. D." conferred upon him by Yale College,
but has also won and deservedly so, the repu-
tation of being the finest pulpit orator and
heat s‘ermoni'zer in our State. His oldest
son, “Willie," born while the parents were
settled here, is'now one of Yale‘s most prom-
ising students. Dr.‘Anderson was the guest
over Sunday with attorney John S. Seymour.
Bad Roads.
' Our public highways are not simply had,
they are in many places absolutely dangerous.
The reprehensible indiflerence and delay in
their repairs, should arouse our citizens to
calls for special town, borough and city meet-
ings for their immediate repair. 5
0n Spring Hill, the residents wearied with
importuning our borough authorities talk of
instituting legal proceedings to get their
main highway put in safe condition. At
least the cobble stones might be raked from
the highways. In both Borough and City
our roads are a disgrace to us, a detriment
to our town's prosperity and an injury to in-
dividual business interest. Can’t something
be done to remedy the evil without further
delay?
Parallel Again.
Hon. Theodore Downs of Bridgeport, was
in town last week perfecting the always ex-
pected Parallel interests. He is getting this
end of the new line in readiness to be pre-
sented to the Rflroad commissioners the
present week for their consideration and ap-
proval. '
The-Phalanx. _
Our Democratic Club seem to have had an
unusually successful the on the occasion of
last week’s pic-nic to ‘Roton. The club is
reported to have cleared about one hundred
dollars for their wasted treasury, and alto-
gether enjoyed an unusual degree of .hilarity
and fun for a club that ”wasnso'badly whipped
as they were, only last fall,‘by the “Bigo-
lows." .,
Our New Borough Cler-
The selection of 'Mr. JOHN S. Slvaoun as
Borough Cierk,by our Democratic Burgessu
was about the most sensible thing our pie-
bald opponents have yet attempted in aid of
their dead and decaying party interests. It
is just what they should 'have done at the
outset of their unique and brilliant career,
but it is better done late than never. Mr.
Seymour has just claims upon his party's
gratitude for earnest and effectual service
rendered last Fall, when he took the stump
and advocated the election of Hancock with
a vigor, eloquence and intelligence which it
was no fault of his that the rank and file of
his party were incapable of either under-
standing or appreciating; .His zealous en-
deavors and personal membership did much
to elevate and make eflectual and reputable
the somewhat noted “Hancock Phalanx.”
While -his illustrious predecessor proudly
disdained to march in Phalanx ranks and
held himself aloof from all effort for the
success of his party ticket, Mr. Seymour,
with native instincts far above both his,
party and his predecessor, tramped through
mud and storm beneath the banners of his
legion. He boldly mounted his prancing.
steed on special parades, and ,despite the
gleam of rockets or glare of kerosene torches
and red and blue fires; the toot of brass
horns, the heavy beat of base drums and the
wild, frenzied hurrahs of his ever excited
“Phalanx"—proudly he rode. as ever did the
captain of the famous “Six Hundred," along
the desultory lines of the “Phalanx," though
having, as we were creditably informed at
the time, but a slight insurance upon his life!
Then, too,‘ the self-sacrificing spirit he has,
always shown, ever since he turned Demo.
crat, and the free' and easy manner he‘has
permitted himself to be used as a candidate
to lead so many “forlorn hopes" of his party,
most assuredly entitled him to their enduring
gratitude and affection.
But all bandinage aside, we can most sin-
cerely attest to Mr. Seymour’s conspicuous
competency and fitness to serve the public
faithfully and well in his new position. In.
tense political opponent. as we are, we glad-
ly affirm the fact,known of all men, that Mr.
Seymour’s political errors of head have not
soured and corrupted his otherwise good and
true heart. We doubt not his administration
of Borough affairs will be such as will meet
the approval of our tax payers of all parties.
” .
N. Y. Senators.
’Outsidcrs will regret that in the selection
of U. S. Senators the great State of New
York could not have selected the names of
some two of her great sons. Fish, Evarts,
Cdrtis, and Woodford, have far wider na-
tional reputations for conceeded ability.
Even Henry Ward Beecher would have given
the Empire State a' greater renown.

At Last.
Last Friday p. m. the Legislature of New
York, elected Congressman Lapham U. S.
Senator to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Roscoe Conkling, Mr. Lap-
ham represents the Canandaigua District in
the House, but as a bill has {already passed
the Legislature providing for special Con-
gressional elections and as both his and Mr.
Miller’s Districts are surely Republican no
injury ~will reshlt to our Republican ascen-
dency in eitherHouse of Congress. The ven-
erable Thurlow Weed, being interviewed on
the result and its probable effect upon the
Republican party in the Empire State, gives
his vieWs thus clearly and gmfifyingly =
“What effect will the struggle have upon
the future of the party in this State 1’" inquir-
ed the reporter. . _
“It will invigorate and strengthen it if
the President lives. It will be strongerthcu
than ever before. The wise policy of his
Administrationwill, in fact, make the party
invincible." _
“You do not fear the next State election
on 1’”
“Not in the least. As I said, if the Presi-
dent lives, wc will sweep the State by a
greatly increased majority.” .
“You are acquainted with Mr. Miller and
Mr. Lapham ?" suggested the reporter.
“Yes. They are not distinguished men.
but will make fair and honorable Senators.”
ln New York city, the Tribune says :
“The election of Mr. Lapham did not
awaken much excitement, from the fact of
its having been so long anticipated. The
Stalw‘arts gave up the contest some time ago
so far as any hope of defeating Mr. Lapham»
was concerned, ,and many of them were
sorely puzzled to know why Mr. Ooukling
persisted in keeping .up the struggle. The
Garfield Republicans have long felt that VIC-
tory was only _a matter of time and they were
of course, not surprised at Mr. Lapham’s
election. The general public was sick and
tired of the fight, and on all sides gratification
was expressed that the end had come.
Chauncy M. Depew said that the excite-
ment had been kept up so late in the summer
that the vote in the fall elections would be
large. He had no doubt that with Mr.
Garfield’s convalesence the party would be
stronger than.before. and would sweep the
State in the fall elections. He had no fear
that the Stalwarts would “sulk in their
tents." He expected to see them all at work
for the party.
About the only disappointed man was
Mr. Conkling himself. He said he was not
surprised at Mr. Lapham’s election, but he
was disappointed that his “Spartan band"
should have consented to it. Mr. Conkling
felt uneasy when the news of the conference
came, and hc‘remarkcd to a friend that
whatever his supporters did in {that respect
was on his own responsibility. and without
consultation with him. . ‘
2::
Neptunes.
The jolly Neptunes have been especially
fortunate in securing a sailing craft for their
coming cruise down East. They have the
“David Carr,”"which_is built on the same
model of'the vessel which delighted the
boys so much two years ago,.but the Carr is
sixteen feet longer,is wider and much deeper
than their former vessel. Her cabin is also’
sumptuously fitted up “with all modern
conveniences," etc., a fact of prime import-
ance to any benedict whose better half may
be seized with the idea that she as well as her
dear hubby needs the relaxation and rest of
a couple of weeks from home drudgery. We
fully realize the peril we incur in giving this
last fact away, but it is nevertheless true and
the truth may be stated in these columns at
all times. . _
The last' meeting to be held to perfect
arrangements for the voyage will be on
board the Carr at Hill’s dock, Friday even-
ing, when the vessel will be illuminated.
She will leave our harbor for Nantucket on
Monday, August 1st, at 3 p. in. sharp. A
larger company than usual expects to sail
this year, and if it would not cause the boys
unnecessary blushes, we should say, if any-
thing, they were to be a trifle better looking
than heretofore,—better behaved, of course,
they could not be. (This last item is'for the
special use of our friends of the Vineyard
Gazette). . But seriously, the Neptunes com-
prise our very best citizens, and already so
well known in the regions round about Mar-
tha’s Vineyard, that no word of endorsement
or commendation is required to- give them
entree to the very best society and families of
that “cottage city by the sea.” The very
name of “Norwalk Neptuues” is a full pass.
port to the welcome and best hospitalities of
the good people at any of the summer resorts
where auspicious winds have ever waftcd
their cruising crafts. May they have an ex-
ceptionally “good time” this year and return
to gladden us all again by their worthy pres-
ence, their good citizenship, their business
enterprise and activities. -
At the competitive examination for the
appointment to West Point from this District,
held at Bridgeport last Wednesday, there
were sixteen applicants. Dwight E. Holley,
of Danbury, passed the best examination,
and will be recommended by Congressman
Miles. Young Holley is a son of Mr. Abner
Holley, who was formerly a very successful
teacher in New York City; his mother lived
in Norwalk during her girlhood, and subse-
quently moved~ to Waterbury. In passing
such an excellent examination he not only
won credit for himself but honored his
worthy parents.
Bull as...
.The anniversary of the Bull Run stampede
was commemorated on Thursday last, by the
Wooster Guards at Danbury. Postmaster
Dunning of South Norwalk, who made as
good time on that retreat as any on record,
went up to Danbury and participated in the
festivities.
The way in which an audience can be made
most uncomfortable by want of thought was
painfully illustrated at the First Congrega—
tional Church Sunday evening. Every pair
of lungs in that large audieiicefivere gasping
for pure air and all over the house fans were
frantically flying to- cool perspiring brows,
when by opening the two and doors the foul
air would have been cleared and a'volume,
cool and refreshing would have revived the
entire congregation. . “0h, sexton, do” give
as air.”

The New Grand Stand.
The old Grand Stand at the Fair Grounds
has been torn down, and yesterday builder
George L. Tuller commenced the erection of
an entirely new stand capable of seating two
thousand people ; it is to be 128 feet long by‘
28 wide, and will be covered by a tin roof.
It will undoubtedly be a great improvement.

Mr. O. S. Starr had a very narrow escape
from serious injury, if not instant death, on
He was driving down Mill
Hill, with his new horse, when the horse
stumbled and he was pitched forward, drop-
ping to the ground between the horse and the
whifiletrees. Luckily the horse behaved
“like a man,” proving that he was possessed
of a liberal stock of good “horse sense," and
Mr. Starr was enabled ,to extricate himself
from his pcrilpus situation without injury.
Barnum—We are informed that we were
in error last week, in giving exclusive credit
to ex-Mayor Morison, for the pic-nic enter-
tainment, enjoyed at Norwalk Islands to a
large party of to'Wn's “ people. The hospi-
talitiea and generous “spread," were the joint
product of the jelly triumveratc, summering
at Mrs. Capt. Smith’s Island mansion and
consisting of. General Wm. Randel Smith,
Chas. E. St.John and T. H. and es-
timable ladies. . 1

Crops. .
The crops give promise of a large yield.
The hay crop is extra large, new potatoes,
now coming in, are large and unusually abunn
dent and fine. corn looks promising, and alto-
gether the farmer seems to have a good pros-
pect before him. .
5th Conn. Vols.
The gallant Fifth Connecticut boys are at
last receiving their long delayed $100 war
bounty. Constable Ed. Nelson received his
last week. Thanks to Gen. Harmon of Gov.
Bigelow’s stall, whose persistent efforts have
brought about this long delayed result.
A Postal Relic.
‘ We have a transcript sheet of newspaper
postage resettled at the Norwalk Post Office
from April let to J une 30th 1831 which foots
up $16.35;» for the entire quarter. Although
newspaper postage is more than four times
cheaper than in 1831 the receipts from news-
paper postages is more than ; four times
greater. The total postage received for the
three months ending J use 30, 1831 is not so
large as that now paid the same ofilce, for
the old GAZETTE alone. _ Surely the world
moves and an intelligent community do ap-
preciate and liberally support a well conduc—
ted aud reliable family newspaper.

The Center School.
The Committee of the Center School ‘Dis-
trict have unanimously voted toengage Chas.
A. Tucker, A. M., of Elizabeth, N. J., as
Principal to succeed Mr. Black who has re-
signed. Mr. Tucker is a graduate of Dart-
mouth College, of the class of ’79, and im-
mediately began teaching, as assistant-princi-
pal of the High School at Manchester, Iowa.
At the end of the year he left that' position
for a more responsible one of the same kind
in Lansing, Iowa. The next year found him .
at the head of the Latin Department, in Len-
ox College, Iowa, at the same time doing
duty as assistant professor of mathematics.
J uding from his education, experience, high
testimonials, and personal address, the Com-
mittee feel confident of his success as a
teacher. Under him' the school cannot fail
to preserve the high standard of scholarship
set by his predecessOr, Mr. Black. The tone
of the school was never better than it is to-
day nor the class of pupils higher or better
behaved.
Miss Ella F. Perry will, of course, retain
the hish~school room where she has done such
excellent work; Misses Alice R. Fitch, M.
Nina Comstock, Carrie E. Flinn, Louise Cur-
tis, and Gertrude L. Black are all re-engaged
for the same positions held by them last year.
What is to prevent the Center School from
ranking with any similar school in the State.

Camp Meeting.
The annual Camp Meeting of the N. Y.
East District (Methodist) is to commence at
Brookside Park, Aug. 8, and continue through
the week. Passengers will be carried on the
Danbury &. Norwalk Railroad for half fare,
and tents and baggage will be transported
free. It is announce! that as there is no
debt, and no expense fer fitting up. the
ground, very little money need to be raised
by collections. All churcheswithin or with-
out the New York East District are invited
to be present with their family and prayer
meeting tents and remain through the week.
Superstitions people, who believe the ad—
vent of a cat to be' an evil omen and that of
a dog to be a good omen, may interest them-
selves iu thefllct that the yellow, dog which
paid periodical visits to General Garfield’s
residence before the election, and followed"
the President's carriage on inauguration day,
has just reappeared upon the scene. He call-
ed at the White House on Thursday, received
some food, stayed about the premises for a
couple of hours, and then departed, no one
knows whither.

Obituary.
ALBERT VAN TAssnLL,
A veteran of Gen. Hawley’s Regiment, the
gallant 7th Conn., died here in Norwalk, on
the 16th inst. Van Tasscll was abravc sol—
dier and at the time of his death, was the re-
cipient of a pension paid him by a grateful
Nation for honorable wounds received in
battling for its preservation. Peace to the
soldier's ashes.

PATRICK M'QUILLAN.
This poor, but esteemed man died at his
residence on Step Hill road on the 20th inst,
-at the great age of eighty years. For fifteen
or twenty years he was night watchman in
the employ of the Norwalk Union Manufac—
turing Company, and it is not too much to say
of him, no one of their large number of em-
ployees, had a more true and honest heart or
more unflinching fidelity and integrity. He
was ever a hard working, frugal and patient
man. And more than that, he was ever a
good estizcn and during the trying days of
the war, when the rebellion reared its awful
head, he Was a pronounced Union Man.
When so many of his race was open in their
denunciation of the war and the draft, led
McQuillan’s brave, loyal words, were :——“I’ve
sent me boys, and if the ould man is needed
to save me adopted country, I’m ready to go
too." Born the subject of a distant realm,
the child of poverty and foil, with bands will-
ing to work, and a heart loving liberty, be
early left Old Ireland and sought a home
among us. While seeking no prominence
among his fellow citizens, in his humble life,
he has illustrated a character of genuine,
honest, manhood. In heart, if not in lineage,
he was wholly American. No one of native
birth, more highly prized the free and equal
permission our institution, give our children,
choicest prizes in the battle of life, and sure-
ly this were high eulogy for any man. May
we not hope, that many there be, of his
countrymen. who will emulate the loyalty,
true worth, and the high regard, bestowed
upon Patrick McQuillan.

“Taking a. Header."
Betweén 6 and 7 o’clock, last Wednesday
afternoon, Mr. Wm. B. Glines met with an
accident which shows that bicycling is not
altogether safe, not safer than horseback
riding. Mr. Glines and his brother Perley
had been to Roton and were hurrying home
on their bicycles; near the lower end of the
Mathews’ place, West Avenue, they made a
spurt and while driving their wheels at their
fastest speed one of Mr. Glines's feet slipped
from the pedal and be was instantly throwu
over the head,striking on his face and breast,
both shoes being thrown over his head. Per-
ley, who was close behind, gave his handles
a push and lauded by his brother's side,—he
hardly knows how. He raised his brother‘s
head, and thought he was dead, as he was
insensible, but Will soon regained conscious-
ness when it was found that, no bones were
broken. Two of his teeth were broken off
and two others injured, both wrists were
sprained and his face badly lacerated. The
plucky fellow refused a ride and walked
home, where he was cared for by his father,
Dr.. W. C. Glines. He made‘his appearance,
on’ our streets again yesterday. Some idea
of the velocity at which he was going at
the time of the accident may be obtained
from the fact that his-bicycle ran over him
and spun along end over and for sixty-three
feet before stopping.

Atlj’d Meeting, Tuesday Eocn’g, July 19th.
All members present.
The Warden stated a mistake had been
been made in the account rendered of Frank
Foster for police services; that there was
really $3 more ductim; also $1.75 for each
of the special policemen, viz : E. Austin, E.
Nelson and C. E. Crabbe; on motion the
deficiencies were ordered paid.
A communication was read from Clerk
Warner, saying that in their attempts to do
the Borough business he thought the Court
of Burgesscs, by their resolution passed at
the last meeting of the Board, had put rather
too much stress upon the condition in which
the minutes had been kept, but in order to
relieve them from any tfnrther difficulty on
his account he offered his’resignation as
Borough Clerk. Burgess Mead, in a few
words dcprecating the course which the clerk
had thought best to pursue, moved to accept
his resignation, although he had much rather
Mr.W. would continue and resume his duties
as clerk. Burgess Brush seconded the mo-
tion in a few remarks of the same general
tenor. Burgess Smith, being absent at the
previous meeting when the resolution was
passed, asked for information as to the cause
of the passage of such a vote. He was en-
lightened by several of the Burgesscs and the
matter was quite freely talked over, and
resulted in Burgess Smith moving to amend
the motion of accepting by one not to ac—
cept; this was seconded by Burgess P1100,
with the proviso that Mr. W. should agree
to meet hereafter with the Board, and the
question being put direct to Mr. W. its
replied that he would not. Burgess Smith
then moved, that the Court ask Mr. W. to
withdraw his resignation; seconded by Bur-
gess Coolidge, and discussed at length by
members. Mr. W. asked for the privilege
of saying a few words and then proceeded
to define his position and insisted on his res-
ignation being accepted. Burgess Smith,
however, was persistent to have it otherways
and asked if the Printing question (which he
understood was the prime cause of the
. trouble between the Court and the Clerk)
was reconsidered and left as it had been for
time immemorial, if that would not make a
difference about his insisting on his resignn~
tion. Mr. W. replied, that it would not, but
the subject was'discussed and members cx-
pressd themselves favorably disposed towards
the clerk, providing he would attend to his
duties as clerk,and it was finally voted to ask
for the withdrawal of his resignation.
Burgess Smith ,then moved that the whole
subject relating to the Printing be reconsid-
ered and left discr 'onary hereafter .with the
Borough Clerk, bu finding he had not power
to make such motion, he wanted Burgess
Mead to accept and move it as his own.
This Burgess Mend declined to do unless
Mr. W. would agree to personally attend
the meetings and perform the duties of
clerk. Discussed by Messrs. Smith, Mead
and Price, during which Mr. Price stated
that Mr. W. had, when the Printing question
was under discussion at a previous meeting,
not again meet with the Board if they or-
dered the printing in the GAZETTE, ”and had
passed it to one of the Burgesscs present;
this he thought was an unwise attempt to
dictate to theCourt as to what they should do.
The question was then again asked of Mr.
W. and repeated, if he would personally at-
tend to the duties of clerk provided this
Printing business was reconsidered and ad-
justed. After a few minutes delay Mr. W.
responded by advising them against passing
such a vote and insisting on his resignation
being accepted. Burgess Brush then re-
newed the motion to accept of the clerk’s
resignation which was carried unanimously,
Burgess Smith good naturedly joining in
with the others, with the remark sotto tone
that Mr. W. had not been his first choice
anyhow.
The Warden then stated that owing to As-
sistantMontgomery’s'duties at the bank he
could not attend the meeting of the Borough
called for Saturday afternoon, therefore it
would be necessary for the board to immedi-
ately elect another clerk to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr. 'W. On
motion it was voted to proceed to election
of clerk and an informal ballot being taken
John S. Seymour received 5 votes and Wm.
E. Montgomery 1. A formal ballot was then
taken with the same result, and Mr. John S.
Seymour was declared chosen clerk, for the
remainder of the year. It was then moved
that his compensation be the same pro rate
as the previous clerk, but amended to make
it $175 for the remainder of the year, and as
amended, adopted.
Bills ordered paid of:
Hoyt d: Meeker, plumbers, $13 94
Propeller City Of Norwalk, freight, 95
The Warden called attention to the fact
that notice had been served from the Parallel
Railroad of a meeting to accept layout,—at
New Haven, on the 26th inst, and thought
the Borough ought to be represented there
by some one to look after its interests and
see that no cncrcachments were made. ' W.
R'. Smith was suggested, as it .was under-
stood that he was to be present in interest of
several property holders whose land was
proposed to be taken. ‘
The subject of a Sunday Policeman was
called up by the Warden who wanted the
Court to make appointment but it was voted
to leave it with the Warden. '
On motiop Albert DcFo‘rcst was elected as
regular Policeman in place of Henry 0. Run-
dle, resigned.
Burgess Brush moved that hereafter, in
case of alarms of fire within the Borough in
the night time, the street lamps in the im-
mediate vicinity of the fire be lighted ; adopt-
ed.
Votcd, That the clerk be authorized to
draw an orderpf $150 for payment of men at
work on highways.
Burgess Coolidge called attention to bad
condition of the hill on Arch Street; a curb,
gutter and walk ordered by previous court
not having yet been laid, and he asked that
a new order be given the contractor to go
ahead and finish said work ; voted, that the
Borough Attorney be directed to notify the
parties interested to have the said walk
properly done within 30 days from date.
. "Deadly ParisGreen.
During the past week, Mr. Edward Tay-
lor, of Broad River district, has lost two
horses. He owns a plot of ground which
he had planted “on shares.” A part of
this plot contains potatoes, and close by is
a lot of cats, some of which was fed to
the horses. It is supposed that Paris Green
‘was sprinkled on the potatoes and that
enough of it blew on the cats to kill the
horses. Is it not time to cease using this
deadly stuff?

The South Norwalk Depot of the N. Y-s

Saturday night last, and $400 stolen from the
safe. The thieves appear to have first gene
to the house of Mr. Gould Benedict, the

the keys from;his pantaloons pocket ; then
going to the depot they unlocked the office
and safe and helping themselves to the ready
cash locked up the safe and office and dc-
partcd, longing no trace behind. The safe
is an old-fashioned one, locked and unlocked
by a key, instead of a combination, or a

A Dead Body Found at the
Islands.
On Saturday afternoon lust, while a small
sailing party were enjoying themselves at
Smith’s Island, a lady of the party who was
strolling along the shore at the lower end of
the Island and on the Sound side, was much
startled by coming suddenly upon a dead
body, some little distance up from the water,
and entirely nude. A messenger was imme-
diately sent to J usticc Boutou, at South Nor-
walk,th impannclcd the following jury :—
Mcssrs. H. H. Gray, Wm. J. Kellogg, Henry
D. Wright, Wm. Wright, G. E. Reynolds,
and S. G. Odell. They viewed the remains,
and found it much eaten away and disfigured
by sea spiders, but decided from the small
feet and large calves that it was the body of
a woman; the only possible identifying
marks seemed to be one trees of hair about
8 inches long and of an auburn color; the
bones indicated a very fleshy but not tall wo-
man. Thc body was buried by the authori~
ties as it was too decomposed to permit of
its being kept longer. » W
The verdict of . jury was cause of death
unknown. It is thought probable that it was
the body'of the young woman drowned by
the sinking of the yacht Sophia, 011 Black
incline to the opinion that‘hcr death was
before that event.

’l‘he Obelisk Outdone!
The Obelisk presented to the City of New
York by the late thdivc of Egypt and
shipped to America, and set up in Central
Park at a cost of nearly $200,000, the muni-
ficent donation of Wm. H. Vanderbilt, is just
sixty feet and one inch high above the pc-
dcstal. Last week the Westerly, R. I.
Granite Quarry Company, blasted out a stone
one hundred and fifty feet long by ten feet
wide and eight feet high 1 Or to bring it
nearer our comprehension this monster
piece of Rhodc Island granite is just about
the length and size that three ordinary rail-
road passenger cars would be, and contains
twelve thousand cubic feet of stone, and
weighs one thousand tons l The very
largest stone or shaft of antiquity of which
we have any record, was 125 feet long and
five feet square. The Obelisk, or Clcopatras
Needle, as it is called, was.originally erected
in the City of On, in the land of Goshen,
which city is frequently mentioned in the
Bible. It reared its‘ head there when
Abraham with his family sought shelter,
after being starved out of famine stricken
Canaan. It loomed up there when Joseph
was cast into prison by the false and fair
.Mrs. Potiphar. It is claimed to be 3.500
years old and was gazed upon by Moses, and
wrought out of the granite quarries of Sycnc,
between Egypt and Nubia. In its dim and
misty antiquity the Obelisk shaft exceeds in
interest any other some on this continent,
yet it is an interesting fact, that the Yankee
Quarrymcn of the Rhode Island stone yards,
have so far transcended all that the ancients
ever accomplished in the way of cleftiug out
huge masses Of granite from their native
beds. This monster Rhode Island shaft
ought to be preserved and erected, as a mon-
umental evidence of ‘what modern mechanics
can mhieve. .
