The President.
“All the-latest accounts from-the President,"
Who has now for more than four weeks been
so: gladly, fightiilg‘ 11911,. his, life, are of the
most’encouraging and reassuring charucicr.
Yesterday’o-report-of the latest opinions
as to the location of the bullet in the Presi-
dent’s body, seems toeomplcte the remark-
able identity of. his wound: with that of o.
fellow townsman, Wm. K. Lewis, Esq. The
. ball catie'rinng. Lewis’ . back and passing
between his 'rib's'was _smallcr than‘the one
entering the President, but there was prob-
ably a much more deadly force of powder
behind, it. The injury to Mr. Lewis’ ribs
was not so serious as to the President’s, and
to this fact may be attributed his more rapid
recovery. But the points of. entrance and
the oblique and downward lines traversed by
the ballsiin both cases, have seemed to be
exactly parallel. Mr. Lewis’ bullet first
showed itself in'the front wall of his abdo-
men a few? inches below and to the right of
the umbilicus and finally worked its way
down te'withia two or three inches of the
'1 groin, when it was harmlessly and pain-
lessly extracted. In President Garfield’s
case, yesterday’s Tribune says all the evi-
dence goes to show, and all the surgeons are
now agreed, that the ball lies in the front
wall'of the abdomen; about five inches be-
low and to the right of the navel and just
over the groin. It is believed that the black
and blue spot which was visible on the right
side of the abdomen for several days after
his injury marked the bullet's location and
this is confirmed by such' results as have
been. obtained with the induction balance.
The ball has given no trouble as yet and may
become encysted and cease altogether to be a
source of anxiety. In any event, however,
the surgeons express perfect confidence that
the President’s reCovery willbecomplete and
will not be followed by any disability or per-
manent Weakness.
Should the above theories as to the loca'
tion of the ball prove correct, the whole
case will b‘e‘a very close and remarkable
repitition of the injury to our Mr. Lewis.
Secretary Blaine sent the following dis-
patch to Minitser Lowell Sunday night :
, WASHINGTON- 11:30 T. M.
LOWELL, Minister, London. ,
The President is steadily improving, and I
shall henceforth omit my daily telegram.
Not hearing from me you may infer that all
goes well. .. BLAINE, Secretary.
Monday afternoon the telegraph reports
his condition as still improving. So may it
continue until he is again restored to full
health will be the prayer of; all good people.

The House of Representatives.
Some of the Democratic newspapers are
making a littlecapltal out of the supposed
fact thilt' the pro'motidn of Messrs. Lapham
and Miller to the Senate will leave a Demo-
cratic majority in the House. Several of our
readers have shown some interest in the ques-
tion, and it may be well to specify the exact
facts in the case, ' ‘
The full returns to the House which meets
for the first time next December give 14'?
Republicans, 138 Democrats, 9'Nationals,
and 1 Independent. On the face of’thc’re-
turns, then, the Republicans could'elect a
Speaker by one majority over all others
combined. Of the Nationals, six are Repub.
lican in sympathies, and will vote fora Re-
publican if they have no chance to vete for
a candiddte of their own. The Independ4
‘ ent, Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, of Brooklyn, will
vote for a Republican in any event. There
are ,at present four Republican vacancies,
Farr, of the 3d New Hampshire District,
(dead), L. P. Morton, Lapham and Miller,_of
New York, resigned.’ This” leaves 143
Republican »members remaining; but ‘the
New Hampshire vacancy will be filled before
December, and this, with Smith’s vote, will
'make 145 Republican votes certain. On' the
other hand, there are at least two Democrat-
ic vacancies,Fcrnando Wood, 9th District of
New ‘York (dead), and Michael N. Nolan,
16th District of New York, who has
announced his intention to resign. This
leaves134 Democratic vo'tes, which with all
the Natlonal votes, would fall short of the
Republican vote- But, giving six National
votes to the Republican candidate and three
to the. Democratic, the vote would stand 151
Republican and-1‘37 Democratic, andthat is
almost certainly'the'way-the final vote will
stands .1} , ..= ' ' . ,_ .
Of course other'deaths .‘ or resignations in
g the interval bttween now and December may
change the'state'ot affairs, but there is no
such difilculty in other states as in _New
York about special elections, so that any
vacancies; unless occurring in New York,
would be promptly filled. ' Baring accidents
in that State,~lherefore, our readers will see
that the-9'. question of the Speakership is
settled. . » ‘ ;
Mr. Nelail’s place. will be taken by a
Republican, which will increase the general
Republican majority and control of legis-
lation. ~ ' ‘ '

Henry J: Chapin, Esq.,‘who occupies the

He brought letters of membership for him—
self and wife from a church in Chicago lo the
' Calvary: BuptistChurch in New York, of
which Mr. Chapin was an ofilccr and mem—
ber. 1 Ho iilso presented numerousletters of
personal commendation from prominent citi-
zens of Chicago, and no doubts were enter—
tained of either his Christian character or of
his personal witnesses. But soon after he
was admitted to membership, he was detect—
ed in the grossest immoralitics and- was cum-
marily expelled. He seems .to have gone on
from bad to werse in petty rascalities and
iniquitics'until his culminating line in his-
atlempt to assassinate the President. I

All along the line of the proposed Parallel
~Road, with-wonderful unanimity, paid law-
yers are raising the cry of “No crossings

railroad which did not cross many streets on
the line at.gradc~? How can a railroad inian

cannot grantvprivileges to one railroad and

The Parallel.
The appreciation of the stock' of the Con-
solidated road up to $193, with its utter ina—
bility apparently to transport the rapidly in-
creasing freights seeking its line, seems to
have givenpa new stimulous to the long-lived
Parallel enterprise. A, full report of the first
meeting and the proceedings before the State
Railroad Commissioners at New Haven, last
week, willbe found on to-day’s outside of
the GAZETTE. Further meetings of the Com-
missioners will be held the present week to
hehhcomplaints and rcmonstrances against
the last layout of the proposed line, if any
there be. The first of these will convene at
N. Haven on Tuesday, the second at Bridge-
port on Wednesday. On Thursday the Com-
missioners will meet here in Norwalk Bor-
ough and quite a lively session is anticipated
because of the local Opposition to the line
now deemed th‘c most likely to be built upon.
This line crosses the Union Co's mill pond. ‘
axis through the. house of Stiles Curtis, Jr.,
crosaes Union Park, cuts through the houses
of Lina Weed and Robert Green, then rising
the hill uncomfortably near the residence of
Warden Hyatt, who in consequence has be-
come so actively opposed to the new road
that he has, as head of our Borough, had
legal counsel employed at the public expense
to defeat the latest layout. At the meeting on
Thursday before the State Railroad Com-
missioners a‘full hearing will be given to all
parties in interest, . _
If the Parallel. is ever to be built it should
be constructed on a survey as nearly air line
as is possible between New Haven and New
,York. There, should be absolutely no draw
bridges, no sharp curves or steep grades, for
all modern "railroad skill and energies are
directed (to the greatest po§sible speed with
the least possibleliability to accident. With
such a layout there should'be no opposition
from any quarter,least of all from old Norwalk
The remembrance'of the unwise 'opposition
of the‘venerable .fathers Othis town, who
prevented the‘ -' construction hither of the
Housatonic Railroad, (which was originally
surveyed-dawn- through Sugar Hollow and
Norwalk River valley to Nerwalk), Clea by
a most violent oppositionitsprojectors were
absolutely driven off to Bridgeport with
their road. Then- came the County Court
-House and Jail project, with a determined
purpose on the part of the rest of the county
to locate the shire town here at Norwalk,
because of i! central shore locatidn, and our
virtuousancestors desperately fought away
the profiered boon as if it had been a pest
and plague. Last came the project to locate
the New York and New Haven Railroad
over the line now selected for the Parallel,
with its depot near Union Park. This was a
a horror too great for patient endurance. “It
would frighten .our horses and kill our chil-
dren,” we remember to have heard them,
with earnest feeling remonstrate. Meetings
were- held to oppose the new and terrible
not‘a dellar bf Stock would be subscribed
and all possibledifilculty thrown in its way
if its originators insisted upon running its
line through our Borough. We well remem-
ber the indignant reply made by the late
Hon. Morris Ketchum, who was one of its
most earnest and‘aetiv'e promoters—said he :
“Well, if :lhe people of Norwalk are such
d——d fools as to drive away this railroad from
their village center, we can and will seek a.
new route and theygan then chase after us.”
And they did. _ ‘ .
With such lessons. as the foregoing before
our eyes and fully within-the remembrance
of a majOrity of pin-j citizensuve now: think
any very'forrn'idable. opposition is to he looks
"ed for here, if so betheé road is to be bane
fidélzj built. - The'pr'esent‘ spurt of opposition
has reference to its special lecation through
the village rather than to the enter-
prise itself, which has only the best wishes
of our people. If as short and feasible a
route can be found west of the proposed last
layout- we hope such an one may be settled
upon. It seems to us that by either tunnel-
ing Spring Hill or even passing west of' that,
a shorter route to Stamford and New York
can be secured than the one across Union
Park, but of this the, engineers and Railroad
Commissioners will judge. They meet the
people of Greenwich. on Friday. ‘

Out Door Band Concerts.
The open air concert given on the Green,
last Wednesday evening,by the Union Band,
was largely attended and the music greatly
enjoyed. -Tolmorrow evening the Band will
_ give another concert on Union Park. There
are some twenty members of the Band, and
as it is very tiresome standing up the entire
evening we suggest that residents in the
vicinity provide seats for their accommoda-
tion. A chair from each house around the
Park would be sufficient.

Our Methodist friends had their usual good
weather on the occasion of their Church Pic-
Nic at Brookside Park, on Tuesday last, and
as a natural consequence they had 8 good
time with a great many to enjoy it. Their
social gatherings are always a success. Fred.
Mead was present as caterer with loads of
ice cream and other good things to tempt the
appetite. D'Artois, the veteran irrepressible,
wits also on hand. The special train of 13
cars could not accommodate all on the down
trip. .
It. It. Accidents.
A half-dozen accidents on the Consolidated
Railroad, ocCurring to its freight trains
within the pastfortnight, certainly indicates
a lack of the same care and circumspection
which has for many years exempted its
enormous passenger transportation from acci-
dent. Its freight business is unprecedented,
but this requires the greatest caution, and
should cause that rich and powerful corpora-
tion to hurry to completion its four tracks at
the, earliest possible moment. I
tracks we verily believe it could find profita-
ble use for them all and then leave abundant
‘room for our long cherished Parallel. I
Under orders from the Customs Collector
of this District,Inspector G. D. Jennings has
been counting the number of passengers car-
ried‘by the Adelphi on Saturday afternoons
and Monday mornings. The number allowed
by law is 1,000. The Saturday night before
the 4th of July theAdelplli, as usual, brought
up a large crowed of passengers. The In-
spector and his assistant counted 1,064 and
the fact was reported. Capt. Anderson was
summoned before the Government Inspectors
at New London to answer. the charge of car——
Tying an excess of passengers. Inspector
Jennings and his assistant testified to the
'count, and Capt. Anderson and Baggage
Master B'odwell testified to the number of

_ it appeared that the number- on board on that
occasion was really less than 1,000. Count~
ing passengers hurriedly landing from a
crowded boat is a very difficult task, and the
counters cannot hope to be absolutely cor-
rect. A telegram‘ vreccivcd yesterday says
that the charges, in this case were not sus—

Nineteen-twentieths of the people of the
Borough arc in favor of the Parallel Railroad,
and have been for years. Much indignation
was manifested, therefore,when it was learn-
ed that a lawyer appeared before the Com-
missioners claiming to represent the “highest
power in the Borough” with instructions to
“ofiicially” oppose the entire lay out of the
proposed Road through the Borough, etc.
Our people do not believe in paying taxes
for lawyere fees to oppose their own pet
projects. In justice to the Court of Bur-
gesses it is but just to say that every1ncmber
was opposed to the action of the “higher
power” in employing counsel to opposethe
Road or lay out, and at a special meeting
held on Friday night last put themselves on
record to that effect.

Poison _Mercury.
along old fences, by the roadside and the
woods of Norwalk. For' several years I
have tried to destroy it on my place,.but the
roots had so secure a footing in a stone ditch
that my labor was not only lost but I was
frequently badly poisoned. This year instead
of digging and cutting I took a new departg
tare. About the middle of June I purchased
asack of fine hay salt and commenced by
sprinkling it on the leaves of the vines, and
afterwards changing the application in using
a saturated solution of strong brine, with a
watering pot. At. this time the leaves are
nearly allidead with scarcely any new ones
putting out. A few’ more drenchings will
undoubtedly finish the 'killing. '
Many people confound our beautiful wood-
blue with the poison ivy, as they often grow
side by- side and assume similar brilliant
scarlet hues in the. fall, but the former.
always grow in clusters of five leaves and is
as harmless as a grape vine, while the poison
pest is invariably in bunches of three leaves.
With pretty large experience in doctor-
ing myself‘for ivy poisoning the bestand
quickest remedy I have found is to fight it
with another poison—the sugar of lead-.-‘
Dissolve this into a thin paste and apply
often to the aflliclcd 9% Con.

Trains up on the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad were deluged some three
hours, last Thursday afternoon, by an acci-
dent at Rye. A freight train. from New
Haven collided with a Harlem freight train
which had been switched to the down track in
order to leave a car at Rye. A down grade
and a sharp curve prevented the New Haven
Conductor Eli D. Lattin, of New Haven,
was killed. and William Hallock of South
Norwalk, a brakeman, was seriously injured,
his intestines protruding in a shocking man-
ner. Surgeons were immediately summoned
and did all that‘was possible for the unfortu-
natc man. Engineer Elliott, of the down
train, and the fireman,-seciug the danger,
jumped from the engine and escaped with a
few cuts and bruises.
Another.
Friday afternoon another accident occurred
on the Consolidated road at Portchcster,
which resulted in damaging a number of cars
but fortunately no lives were lost and no one
was seriously injured. , The Harlem River
freight train from New York ran into the
wrecking train sent down to clear up the
wreck of the collision at Rye. The engine
of the freight train was damaged. The track
was cleared after two or three hours delay.
The -Ncwport train was delayed about an
hour.
A Third Collision.
A freight train was unable to get into the
yard of the Harlem station of the branch
read about two a. m., and the Washington
express, due at two, ran into the rear of the
freigh train, wrecking the caboose and two
cars entirely, damaging two others and car-
rying away the cow-catcher, smokestack,bcll
and whistle of the express engine. George
Stevens , who was sitting in the caboose, had
his leg broken and was thrown into the adja-
cent swamp. A brakeman was also injured.
Several passengers in the sleeping car were
thrown from their bcrlhs upon the our floor.

Deadly Paris Green.
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 oats, 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 i—Gazette. . ’ ~
A similar case of this blowing of the poison
is reported at Waterside. Some one showed
such ignorance in handling the deadly stuff,
that he applied it to his potatoes in the dry
state, and much of it found its way to a
neighbor’s raspberry plants. Luckily, the
poison was discovered on the leaves near the
berries before many of the. latter had been
eaten; but as it was, a slight ill'n‘ess resulted,
and no doubt from the poisoned fruit. The
stupid who did the broadcast sowing of such
a bug-destroyer, should be taught better by
due process of law, before lives are lost
through his inexcusable want of knowledge.

Court of Burgesses.
Special Meeting, Friday, July 2951;.
At a special meeting—of the Court of Bur-
gesses, called by Senior Burgess and acting
I Warden Smith, (Warden Hyatt being out of
town,) held ,on Friday evening, July 291b,
all the Burgesses being present, Burgess
Smith in the chair. .
It was voted that the services of Gen. W.
R. Smith, as counsel for the Borough before
the Railroad Commissioners, in matter of
layout of the proposed new railroad, be no
longer required by this Court.
WHEREAS it has been represented that the
highest authority of the Borough opposes the
proposed layout of the ,N. Y. & Conn. Rail-
way, be it
Resolved. That the Court of Burgesses,
being the highest authority of the Borough,
does not in any way object to the approval
by said Commissioners of such lay-
out, and we hereby instruct our. attorney,
John S. Seymour, to appear before the Com-
missioners in Norwalk and oppose only the
crossing, by said company, of any of the
highways of this Borough at grade, when
such highways can and properly ought to be
crossed either above or below grade.
Appointed.
Secretary Lincoln has appointed Engineer
Wm. B. Kimball. of Hartford, as Engineer-
in-Chief in the ofiice of the Surgeon-General
in Washington. Mr. K: was for several
years first assistant engineer under Engineer
Hayden, at the Senate end of the Capitol, his
appointment there having been~ secured by
Senators Ferry and Buckingham. Prior-to
that he was a locomotive engineer for some
dozen years or more on the Hartford and
Providence Railroad. He was not only ‘a
gentleman but by far the most capable and
efiicient engineer about the Capitol, yet be—
cause he was a Republican, when the Demo-
crats came to power in that body, he was
removed to make place for a more importa-
nate but less deserving Democrat. So long
as the public departments are honey-combed
as they are with secret and avowed Demo-
crats, the faithful employees dismissed by
Democrats from the Capitol, for no other
fault than their Republicanism, should not
be permitted to remain‘without appointments
and we congratulate Secretary ~Lincoln and
the country as well, that he has taken this
view of the situation in regard to our Connec-
ticut fellow-citizen Kimball.

The writer don’t. take much stbck in the

kill a man of Mr. Conkling’s ability and in—
dustry. A few years ago some people in

domitable energy brought him to the front

The public are somewhat familiar with the
general; belief, in ghosts, and haunted houses,
and the like, in and about that classic locali;
ty known as “the Dublin of Spring Hill.”-
The atmosphere of that region has been es-
pecially charged with superstitious fears and
the imaginations of the frugal toilers there,
vividly impressed and absorbed in strange
train from stopping in time to avoid collision. Osigbts and superstitious sounds, ever since
Billy Monahan was so terribly frightened by
the white ghost charging down upon him
with ears erect and forked‘ tail aloft, at the
midnight hour and . which subsequently
proved to be Eskelson’s old white mare dash-
ing ahead and thrashing her sides to escape
the torments of mosquitoes and gad-fiics.
But last week Monahan had good cause for
implicit faith in the supernatural. Eight
years ago he, with virtuous thoughts of the
advantages to himself of the temperate prin-
ciples inculcated by the Reform Club, took a
quiet and demure kitten from Mcrrill’s gro-
cery, and proudly bore the little pet to his
home over the summit of Spring Hill. The
feline grew space and often beguiled him of
his cares, as in fcstive mood it jumped about
his tidy cabin and sharpened its nails on the
legs of his imported corduroys, with an occa-
sional lclip “at his bare but ,sensitivc shins.
Tom felis, had been as well behaved as
any member of his family for all these
eight years, when to Monahan’s disgust, it do;
veloped an alarming propensity for capturing
and dining upon his spring chickens. Vari—
ous and severe were the chastisements be ad-
ministered to correct Thomas' foul (no joke)
propensities. The tender flesh and succulent
blood of Monahan’s choice cochins seemed
the rock upon which that cat was bound to
wreck fortune, sacred honor and even its life.
So as a last effort at effectual reformation,
when Thomas put in its appearance as usual,
last Tuesday, with another chicken in its
mouth, Billy seized the despoiler of his
chicken yard, tied. it securely in a feed bag,
lighted his pipe and with watery eyes and
palpitating heart, rushed to the abutments of
the ruined Ampithcatrc bridge, tied a heavy
stone to the neck of the sack and cast cat and
all into the lethean waters of the mill pond.
A splash, a gurgle, a suppressed cat-a-waul,
and all was still as the going out of that all
too feather-fond cat-life,-could effect! Sol-
emnly and sorrowfully did Monahan wcnd his
way to the coal yard that day 1 True, he loved
his eat, but chicken was nearer his heart and
digestion. It was another case of not loving
Closar less, but Rome more. As he shoveled
the coal all that dark day, it was plainly to be
seen that the dust of the carbon was leaving
blacker traces of its presence on his brow
than usual. '
Even his accustomed mug of beer, had not
the strength requisite to assuage his grief or
dull his sense of categorical bereavement.
Wearily he wended his way home that night,
but much of the light and muslc too of his
erst lonely‘rearth-stone had departed! The
hours, the night, two full days, drearily
passed, when a most eggstraordinary rumpus
than usu’al among the chickens, called Mrs.
Monahan’s presence to the back yard, and,
oh, horrors, what did her frightened orbs bc-
holdl That same old cat with another chick-
en in its mouth! This was too much for
mistress Monahan to bear. Seizing a “dar-
ling ould sthick ferninst the fence,” she dealt
Thomas a blow that proved though she might
forgive him the theft of the chicken, she
never would be reconciled to his supernatural
return to lifel But here ensues the strangest
and most serious part of the mysterious his-
tory ofMonahun’s cat. With its protruding
eyeballs‘aflame the cat flew at Mrs. Monahan's
throat, cal‘ight her dress, however, about the
neck, and there hung by its teeth, tearing at
her bosom with all four of its feet in a frenzy
of rage.- Mrs. M. tore the cat from its grasp
and dashed it upon the ground, but with the
ferocity of a tiger it again sprang and caught
her by the arm, biting and clawing her flesh
so terribly that her outcries summoned sev-
eral of her neighbors, with whose aid the in-
furiated animal was seized by the throat,
jammed into another bag, securely tic'd and
then imprisoned under a weighted barrel, till
“Billy” came home, and with his ax behead-
ed it while confined in the bagl Although
the cat is headless and otherwise mortally cut
and gashcd and is-buried, Monahan still ex.
poets and fears the.reappcarancc of that cat,
and his neighbors afllrm that for months to
come you will not find poor Monahan out
after dark unarmed, and we don’t blame him.

The eastern entrance to the Sound
The Nautical Gazette advises the Long
Island Sound and Hell Gate pilots to com—
bine and place a first-class steam pilot boat at
the eastern entrance to Long Island Sound,
and let it be widely known that they are pre-
pared to take vessels to New York at fifty
per cent. less cost than they can be brought
in by way of Sandy Hook. It says they can
make more money in this way than they can
by sitting down and mourning over the pas-
sege of the bill freeing coasting vessels from
Hell Gate pilotage. The Gazette says - ship-
ping merchants are awakening to the fat!
that they can save money by using the Sound
route, and the number of square rigged ves—
sels going to sea this way gives evidence of
the increasing popularity of this route. Fair
sized ocean steamers not infrequently pass
through the sound on their way across the
Atlantic. The Gazette closes its article as
follows: “The time is ripe for plenty of
business for the Long Island pilots if they
will only take advantage of it."
