The House Committee (lit Banking and
Currency yesterday morning decided to re-
port favorably the bill known as the Grape
bill, extending the charter Of national banks
for the term Of twenty years. The necessity
for prompt legislation in this matter is evi-
dent when it is remembered that the charters
' of 893 national banks expire this year.

lElSSUED PATENTS.
The Supreme Court has rendered a decision
in the case of the Bridgeport Brass 00.,
which makes a sweeping onslaught. upon rc—
'ssucd patents. The decision has created
widespread consternation an oug ”patent at—
torneys and inventors, as it is said to be in
complete antagonism to many former rulings
by the same court. The following is an ab—
stract of the decision: .
No, Sl—Edward Miller 115 CO., appellants
against the Bridgeport (Conn), Brass Coni—
pany.—This court says that the power given
by the law to issue a new patent upon the
surrender of the original, for the correction
Of errors and mistakes, has been greatly mis-
understood and abused. It was not the pur—
pose of the legislation on this subject to
authorize the surrender of patents for the
purpose of having them reissued with broad-
er and more comprehensive claims. Patents
have been so expanded and idealized years
:tl'ter'thclr first issue that hundreds and thou-
sands of mechanics and manufacturers, who
had just reasons tO suppose that the field
Of action was OpCH.llilVC been oblidgcd to dis-
continue their employment Or pay an enor-
mous tax for‘coutinuing t_hem. The grant—
ing Of the reissue of a patent for the purpose
of having its scope widened after an Lunrcas-
enable delay is clearly an abuse Of the pop-
era to grant reissues, and may justly be de-
clared illegal and void. It will not do for a
‘ patenlce to wait until other inventors have
‘ produced new forms of improvement, and
then with the new light thus acquired, under
pretence of inadvertencc and mistake apply
for such an enlargement of his claims as to
make it embrace these new forms. The
decree Of the circuitecurt dismissing the bill
is affirmed.
TIIE GOVERJMENT rmxrixo OFFICE.
For some time past considerable dissatis—
faction liss been expressed concerning the
management of the above mentioned bureau.
Originating from alitlle petty spite on the
part of one individual, this dissatisfaction
has been caught up and scattered through the
country, until to many it seems that no more
unpopular ofiicer than the present chief
'could be found. The fact of themattcr is
justchis : When the news of the death of
President Garfield reached this city all the
,departments were closed out of respect,
among them being the Government Printing
Office. During the rest of the week and un-
til the body of the martyred President had
been laid to rest, the departments remained
closed and no official business was transacted.
This was onl y as it should be, but then arose
the question of pay. The clerks Of the other
departments being paid annual salary, were,
of course, entitled to and receive their pay,
but with the employees Of the Government
Printing Office it was different. They were
and are paid a stated amount par dz’cm for
the time they are actually employed, and the
law bearing upon that point. is very strict.
When the first. of the. month came around
Mr. Defrees refused to pay the employees for
the days upon which the cfiicc i'as closed,
claiming that there being no services render-
ed it would be unlawful for him to pay the
cmployes for those days. In this he is only
holding up to the law and the principles of
private business, yet to this refusal to pay
for unemployed time, the whole weight of
the abuse now being launched upon him can
be traced. As far as Will is concern-
ed Mr. Dcfrees would be only too
happy to pay his employees for
he deprecatcs the hardships the want of
money will produce, yet he is so bound down
by the existing laws that he cannot exercise
his choice in the matter. -If those who soend
their time in saying and printing bitter
things against Mr. Dcfrees would only use
that time in recommending to Congress the
readjustment of the printers’ pay, it Would
not only be more charitable but more just.
To the credit of Defr’ees, be "it saidfthat
placed in a position as he is,- When by a little
stretch of integrity he could make himself
wealthy, he manages his office w' that
sense of hon-e2- which C..:.li‘dthrlZi-S his 1701‘
sonaldealinga and remains in comparative
poverty. .
. MEMO :iAII.
Yesterday Stillfiitrl‘ Anthony stated that on
the 19th inst. 120 would ask leave to submit
resolutions of'respect for the memory of his
late colleague, Ambrose E. Burnside, and
Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin, gave notice
that on the 25th he would present resolutions
commemorative of the late M. H. Carpenter.
It is understood that Mr. Blaine desired the e
obituary Observances should be concluded
before he announced the time at which he
would deliver his memorial address on Car—
field.
THE rsxsrox LIST or TutrUTnnE.
Mr. Brown yesterday offered in the House
aresolution calling on the Secretary of the
Interior for the following information : If
all the pensions arising from the war of the
rebellion shall be adjudicated within the
seven years determining June 30, 1888, and
if at the end of that period the survivors of
the war with Mexico, and their wido'w's,shall
be pensioned at the rate of 8‘8 per month,
what appropriation will bcrequircd annually
to pay pensions during the next twenty-five
years. The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Invalid Pensions. Mr. Beck,
of Kentucky, terrified his democratic asso-
ciates b ' asserting in the Senate that the
“Arrears of Pensions Act.was conceived in
sin and brought forth in iniquity.” The
Kentucky senator should not fei'getiliat but
for the disloyal part of the democratic party
there would have been no civil war and no
“ grand army of pensioners.”
ii xens 'rO Ax AMERICAN ARTIST.
Mr. Liliiilll G.
American historical sculptor, has recently
been elected to a professorship in the Flor-
entine Academy of Fine Arts. This is ‘LLI’J
first time this honorlias been conferred upon
an American artist. The handsome compli—
ment implied by this action on the part of
the Academy is evidence that Mr. Mead’s
talents are appreciated abroad, as Well as at
home, and inc-st highly by those who huvo
the best opportunity for seeing and studying
his works. Mr. Mead, it will be remember;

ixunusom. AT A CIIILD’s FUNERAL.
At the funeral of Harry, the little son of
Detective Geo. 0. Miller. There was no
services at the house. J ust before the casket
was lowered into the grave Col. Iugcrsoll, at
the request of Mr. Miller,made a brief address
in the course Of which he said :—“ Why
should we fear that which will come to all
that is ? We cannot tell, we do not know,
which is the greater blessing—life or death.
We cannot say that death is not a good. - -Wc
do not know. whether the gum; is the end of
this life, or the door of another, or whether
Meat, the well-known.

the night here is not somewhere else a dawn.”
His entire addresswas very hopeful of the
future life and strongly in contrast with
many of his reported utterances. We send
you its full text that yon'may give it place

and favorably known to our citizens. As a
missionary, returning from that far-off field,
the Doctor will meet with a cordial reception
every where, but coming direct, as he docs,
from daily life with our old friends, he re-
ceives a specially hearty welcome from oui‘
people who cannot look upon him' as a total

The Town Meeting.
There was a fair attendance at the Special
Town Meeting last Friday afternoon, not-
withstanding the unfavorable weather. The
meeting was organized by the election of
Mr. Charles Olmstead moderator. Town
Clerk Perry read the call. The resolutions
Offered at the previous meeting and printed
in the last GAZETTE, were presented by E.
J. Hill, with the additional resolution to the
effect that the annual Town Reports be here-
after submitted to a town meeting to be held
one week before the annual town election.
Mr. Hill sustained the resolutions in a speech
of some length and much earnestness and
ability. He was followed by Mr. Richard
Golden, city, in a speech for the Opposition.
Mr. Golden made some comparison of figures
from the town report intended to show that
the affairs of the town had been economically
managed by the last Board and showingr that
the old plan was as capable of good results
as possibly could be obtained from the new-
Hc also miide statements in regard to the
working of the new plan in Stamford, having
visited that place twice for information.
Town Counsel Warner took the floor sevural
times, expressing a doubt as to the legality cf
adopting the new plan under the call of the
meeting, as it was not broad enough, etc.
The question was discussed with considerable
spirit. J. Beldcn Hurlbutt advocated tilt;
passage of the resolutions,spcaking earnestly
at different stages of the debate. Mr. Ste-
phen Olmstead favored the adoption of the
resolutions as an experiment.
ch.Conch made several suggestions in re-
gard to the care of the outside poor, closing
with remarks in opposition to the passage of
the resolutions. ‘ Ex-Wardeu Hyatt offered
an amendment ‘ffixing” the Tax Collector's
salary at $400 per year, a “saving” of $500.
This was lost. While the main question
was still pending. Mayor Swartz moved to
adjourn, but finally did not press the mo-
tion. Mr. Rowan moved a substitute provid-
ing that the new plan take effect next Octo-
ber. After discussion it was defeated. Ex-
Mayor Quintard raised and pressed the ques-
tion of legality. Finally after prolonged
debate, the question was put in the usual
manner and the Resolutions were declared
adopted. Somebody shouted “doubted,”
and a rising vote was taken resulting-“gin the
passage Of the Resolutions by a vote of 70
to 41. As no other business was offered the
meeting then adjourned.

Incident to one of the New York Central
Express trains on Friday evening, at or near
Spuyten Devil Creek, by which a number of
persons lost their lives and many were ser-
iously injured. It seems that the Chicago
Express, with a large nuniber of the mem-
bers ofthc New York legislature on board
had to stop shortly after passing Spuyfen
Devil on account of an accident to the air'
brakes on. one of the cars; while standing
there they were run into by the Tarrytown
local express, _the engine of which dashed
through one palace car and made an entrance
into a second one, in its course dashing the
passengers right and left with great force.
Almost immediately the two cars took life
from their overturned stoves and burned so
fiercely and spread‘ rapidly that many
of those in the cars, especially those who
had become entangled in the debris, could
not get out and tlieque re therefore burned
to death. Every effort was made by the.
passt'ngers from the other cars to help out
the poor sufferers, but not having any appli-
ances handy to work with their efforts were
mostly unavailiug. Among those burnt to
death ware Senator Wagncrof the New York
State Senate and patenti-e and originator of
these very Palace Cars, and a young bridal
couple, Mr. and Mrs. l’ark Valentine. The
young couple were on their bridal trip, and
it seems the young husband, only 21 years
of age, became entangled, caught by‘his
feet in the ruins and his young bride of 19,
would not leave him, but staid and perished
with him, they dying locked in each others
arms. The negligence of the rear brakeman
is supposed to have been the cause of the
collision, he not; having gone back far
enough with the danger signal; he has been
put under arrest by order of the coroner.
The accident occurred at about 7 o'clock p.
in., and the train was due at the Grand Cen-
tral Depot at about 7:30.
Eight persons were burnt or crushed to
death, two are missing and about a dozen
others badly injured. The killed were Mrs.
Mary L. Brown, Hon. Webster Wagner,
Darwin L. Ransom, 1Rev. Francis Xavier
Marechal, of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Parke
Valentine, of Benuington, Vt., Oliver B.
Keeler, of Philadelphia and J. Albert Rich-

Obituary.
Last week we received a brief letter from
Rev. Henry S. Barnum, Missionary at Van,
Asiatic Turkey, announcing the sad news
of the death of another one of_ his children,
Sarah Randle, in the sixth year of her age
of that dreadful sco'urge, scarlet fever. The
stricken parent writes:
“I am too dazed by the suddenness of our
bereavement, and too wearied with night:
of watching to write of other matters. . 0
others the notice I send will mean but little,
but to us-it means the loss from our home of
one of the most cheerful and clingingly af-
fectionate little lives God ever gave."
On Saturday Dr. Reynolds also received a
letter from Mr. Barnum, and announced the
sad news at the Sunday School Concert Sun-
day evenlng. He also stated that during the
absence of himself and wife in this country,
Mr. Barnum and family are entirely alone,
with no countryman or friend to sympathize
with them in their deep affliction. But here
at their old- home, the hearts of many near
and dear friends g9 out to them in sympathy,
for although long absent they are not forgot-
ten, and their memory is cherished.
LA'I'uu.—-,Wc have‘ just received another
letter, this Monday evening, from Rev. Mr.
Barnum, announcing the death of another
daughter, Nellie C, from the same malignant
disease, after an illness of but 24 hours.
The stricken parent adds :—-“’I‘wo weeksvago
we had four healthy children; this terrible
disease swept through the house and there
remain only two wan little sufferers, who,
however, seem convalesclng. Still in view
of the many grave sequels of scarlet fever
we shall feel solicitude for some days, espec-
ially for our Harry, a boy of 4, who has been
more severely handled than his Older sister.”
Another one of our aged residents passed
away last Saturday, Mrs. Polly K‘eeler, of
Winnipauk, who had reached the good-old
age of eighty-one years. She was the widow
of Edward Keelei', deceased.
Mrs. Joseph seribner died at Roscndalc,
Wisconsin, on the 8th inst, at the advanced
age of 83 years. Mrs. Scribner was former-
ly a resident of this place, and will be re-
membered by 0111' elder residents as a sister
of Charles Kellogg and Mrs. Stephen Stan-
ley, and a cousin of Wm. S. Lockwood.
Mr. John M. Eells,manager of the Marietta
Chair Company, died at his home in Mari-
etta, Ohio, ou'the 4th inst. A special to the
. Cincinnati Gazette very truly says that in his
death "Marietta loses one other most promi-
nent citizens." He was born at Walton, N.
Y.,Dcc 3,:1811. He entered Oberlin College
and Theological Seminary,but was compelled
by failing health to seek more’ active em—
ployment. a He became interested in ma-
chinery, and in 1854 moved to Marietta and
established a Chub factogy, which, under his
management reached large proportions and
became the leading industry of the place.
He was a‘ deacon in the Congregational
Church, and a man greatly respectedniud es-
teemed wherever known.

Manager Knapp has secured for Wednes-
day evening, January 181b, this great min-
strel company, and we predict ,a packed
house. The Oil City Derrick says:
“Barlow, Wilson, Primrose & West’s troupe
are special favorites and always draw a big
house. Last night the Opera House was not
only crowded, but it overflowed with per-
spiring humanity. Their programme was of
the most pleasing character. From the rise
of the curtain to the last act the vast audi-
ence was convulsed with laughter, induced
by such quaint sayings, comicalities-and rid-
iculous performances as the wonderful min-
strels perpetrate There is no obscenity in
the performance, nothing in word or act to
offend the most particular, naught but fun
spelled with a big F. One night of Barlow,
Wilson, Primrose 627 West in Oil City is not
enough and we must have them back again.
Life is too short to wait a whole year to have
the opportunity of bearing and seeing this
wonderful combination again. Come back
soon boys.”

George W. Bain, the eloquent speaker
who is to deliver an address Tuesday even-
ing before the convention of the Woman’s
Christian Temperance Union, to be held in
Hartford Jan. 19th and 20th, is a native of
Kentucky, the favored land of eloquence
and the nursery of craters. Mr. Bain is well
known in the west, but this is his first visit
to New England. He is a brilliant specimen
of the Kentucky orator, having all the fire
and lmpetuosity of southern blood, controll-
ed by a cultured and well balanced mind.
His lectures are unreportable. He abuses
no one. He eonvinCes his hearers by his
locic, while he captivates with his eloquence.
His humor is irresistable and he carries an
audience from laughter to tears at his will.
He is- to-day the most remarkable speaker
upon the temperance platform, Mr. Bainl is
a christian gentleman and practices all the
virtues lie preaches. An hour spent with
him is by no means an hour wasted.

The Results of Necessity.
What. the ancients suffered for the want of
knowledge in medical science, can only be
appreciated by contrasting the vast amount
of suffering cured and and pain alleviated in
modern times, by the use of Swayne’s Oint-
ment for skin diseases. Itsiulroduction was
characterized by the necessary withdraw-
al of a score or more of illnsive, quack nos-
trums, whose evil efiects have left living
monuments to denounce them. Thus is ex-
emplified the proverb, “Necessity is! the
mother of Invention. 413
