Dana Gazl'l'rl :— -
The proceedings of Congress have been
very dull this week and there has been little
Of interest in either House. The Senate,
after passing the River Improvement Bill on
Tuesday, has occupied the remainder of the
time with a discussion of the ten years
Chinese bill, which finally passed yesterday.
The [louse during the fore part of the
Week revived the question'of the alleged
American prisoners in British jails but on
\lencsday switched olli onto the contested
election case of Lynch v.9. Chalmers, which
was settled to-day by a strict party vote.
The contestant Lynch, who, by the way, is a
negro and republican, was declared entitled
to the seat and the incumbent “given notice
to quit." It was supposed the democrats
would fillibuster On this case but they cvi-
dently thought the truth too plain.
CONGRESSIONAL TOPICS.
The Housecommittee on patents Tuesday
directed a favorable report to be made to the
House on a bill providing that no action for
damages or proceeding in .equity shall be
sustained nor the parties held liable under
Sections 4,919 or 4,921, of the Revised Stat-
utes, for the use of any patented article or
device, when it shall appear on the trial that
the defendant in such action or proceeding
purchased said article for a valuable consid-
eration in open market.
An agreement has about been reached be-
tween the republicans and the democrats to
set aside a day for the consideration of the
bill to extend national bank charters. The
republicans will agree to allow the democrats
to offer certain amendments, which have
been indicated by their leaders for the pur-
pose of getting a record .vote.
On Monday Mr. Dezendorf of Virginia,
introduced in the House a bill appropriating
$100,000 for the erection of anew Executive
mansion and providing that the White

BLAINE vs. BELMONT.
The all too smart young son of his father,
representative Belmont, waked, up a most
. » uncomfortable passenger when he attempted
to bear-bait ex-Secretary Blaine. Mr. Blaine
fairly mopped the floor with the young sprig
of New York aristocracy. It is aquestion
however whether Mr. Blaine’s‘coneseded
triumph is a profitable investment for him,
though there is apparently nothing he enjoys
better than a battle of words: His angry
tilt with and triumph over Conkling in the
House, many years ago, has undoubtedly
been the means Of keeping Blaine from the
Presidency.

Commissioner Dudley has ordered the fol-
lowing: By direction of the Secretary Of
the Interior, no substitution of an attorney
by another will be recognized hereafter
without the written consent of the applicant
to the substitution of the particular person
proposed to be substituted, and in cases
where there is a legal contract for a fee the
substitution of an attorney by another shall
not be held to carry with it the rights of the
former attorney to the fee contracted for by
him, unless the claimant shall consent there-
to in writing.
. WHAT IS 1r ?
Barnum—our Barnum—has been at the
Smithsonian Institute all day deeply engrossed
with fauna savans and scientists there, as to
whether Jumbo is in fact an elephant after
all. Prof. Doremus of New York was the
first to throw doubt upon the subject and ex-
press the belief that the monster is a masto-
don. At the Smithsonian to—day, Prof.
Baird and the others, say that if Mr. Bar-
num’s descriptions of the structure of Jumbo
are correct, it comes nearer the supposed
extinct mastodon species than the elephant
family. A scientific examination of the
huge best is to be made immediately on his
arrival here, the teeth being the sure test as
to his species. The question is creating
interest and excitement here. as J umbo’s legs
are too long and his head to small for a
thoroughbred elephant. -

The Jenkins excursion train which recent-
ly left New York for the Far West, with
about eighty passengers, was wrecked on
the Rio Grandc Railroad, near Cannon City,
Colorado, April 25, Mr. and Mrs. and Miss '
Potter, of this place, were on the train, and
the exaggerated reports of the accident at
first caused their triads much uneasiness,
although their names were not among those
mentioned as seriously hurt. Aletter re-
ceived from them yesterday, written im-
mediately after the accident, brings the good"
news that they were entirely ubinjured.
The last car of the train jumped the track,
but fortunately no lives were lost and no
bones broken, but a number of the passen-
gers were badly bruised. The excursionists
continued on their trip without much delay.

General Railroad Law Amended.
It gives us much pleasure to state that our
Senate has finally throwu 011 its allegiance to
the powers that heretofore have been, and
have voted to amend the general railroad
law, so that it isnow possible to build com-
peting railroads even when opposed by
pOWerful corporations, and we in the name
of our entire community, thank the railroad
committee, and most especially the Senate
chairman thereof, and the friends of equal
rights in the legislature, for their support
and votes in passing these needed amend-
ments. The changes in the law made by the
amendments are as follows: The time for
taking lands is extended to two years abso-
lutely, and if delayed by litigation or oppo-
sition, two years more are tube given by the
railroad 'commissiouers. Under the old
law, but one year was allowed. That part
of old law requiring companies to ob in
charter from the legislature to cross as a-
ble waters, is repealed, and draw bridges
my now be constructed when the company
have expended a sum equal to ten thousand
dollars per mile from the state or commence-
ment of the line, to the harbor or river to be
bridged. Bonds may now be issued equal to
one-half of the actual cost of the road, in—
stead of one third of the cost, as before.
No other railroad company is allowed to
subscribe for, take or hold, directlfor indi-
rectly, any stock or bonds of roads organized
under the general law, unless authorized by
special Act of the Legislature. A new sec-
tion is added which authorizes} allrsilrosd
companies, to take land by apprisal of com-
missioners, for additional tracks, turnouts,
freight and passenger stations, depots, and
for the purpose of supplying water for
engines and stations.
It will be seen that the amendments have
liberalized the law, and repealed that part
of a roadlin this State, under ,its provisions,
and the law as now amended, is more in
accordance with the free railroad laws of
other states. The amendments with the
exception of the One allowing all railroad
companies to take lands for additional tracks,
turnouts, the, are substantially as presented
the committee, by the New York and Con-
necticut Air Line Compuiy, (the old Paral-
lel) and are such as experience has shown to
be necessary to the successful working of the
law.
The new section authorizing the taking of
land by old and new dompanies for addi-
tional tracks, &c., was added by the railroad
committee, and will be found of great benefit
to the traveling and freighting pdblic, by
giving more commodious passenger accom-
modations, 'and less dangerous access to
freight houses, especially where large popu-
lation and manufacturing interests have
grown up since the establishment of the railv
road stations; and where the owners of land
needed for the purpose'of giving more facili-
ties, have asked the most exorbitant prices,
often twenty times its actual value, and
damage to the owners. With the authority
to take lands, it is to be hoped. that railroad
companies will avail themselves of it, and so
enlarge their grounds, that they may do lheir
switching on their own domain instead of
public thoroughfares, which is so annoying
and dangerous.
First Congregational Church.
The Fairfield West COnsociation will meet
lat the church, this morning, for the purpose
of dissolving the pastoral relation between
Rev. Mr. Hamilton and the church.
Rev. Mr. Hamilton will preach his last
sermon as pastor of this church and society
on Sunday morning next. After the sermon
he will probably preside for the last time at
the communion services. . . .
Call Accepted.
Trinity church, city, is now to have the
experience of selecting and callinganew
Rector, Rev. Dr. Spencer having decided to
accept the call to Christ Church in New Ha-
ven. Our citizens generally will regret to
part with Dr. Spencer.
Ice Contract. -'
The Ridgewood Ice Company of Brook-
lyn, N. Y.,-.have contracted with the Dan-
bury & Norwalk Railroad Company for the
hauling of the ice cut by the Ridgefield Co.,
on Umpawaug Lake, in Redding, which
lake the ice company have leased for along
term of years. The amount to be hauled to
be not less each year, than fifteen thousand
tons; and the road to haul up to thirty
thousand tons when the ice crop on the lake
and other ponds of the company equals that
amount. The Ridgewood Co., owing to the
unusual open harbor, were enabled to ship
from the railroad’s Pine Island docks, some
seven thousand tons of ice last winter, and
it proves to be the best ice both for purity
and keeping qualities, ever stored by that
company. The Ridgewood Co., are to
erect a large ice house on the margin of the
take. This will make busy times at Wil-
son’s :Point during the hauling of the ice
crop, and: will afford winter employment
both at Bedding and at the, point, for a large
number of men. It is intended tO' ship a
barge load of ice each day, while the ice
supply lasts. This'uew business is likely to
be a permanent source of revenue to the road,
the profits of which will more than pay the
interest on the cost of the extension, and
will, we think, convince the most obtuse.
that the extension of the Kind to Wilson’s
Point, was amove in the right direction.
Look Out for film.
A sharper was in town last week Operating
in a small way, but very successfully with
our merchants all over town. He would go
into a store and if he. encountered the pro-
prietor would inquire for the clerk, and find-
ing him usually out, (many of'his calls were
made at meal time) he would ask the pro-
prietor to lead him a small sum, always the
fractional part of a dollar. Upon the pro-
prietog demurring as he was a stranger, he
would claim to be well acquainted with the
clerk who would land it to him instantly if
he was in. This generally secured the loan
for him, and then the fellow, watching his
opportunity awhile after when the clerk had
returnedand the proprietor gone out, would
again come in and play the same game on
theficlerk, claiming to be well acquainted with
the proprietor. a customer of his, due.
worked this game for several days here with-
out being caught, although in one instance at
least, he was followed up pretty closely, but
somehow mysteriously evaded his pursuer.
He was habited as a laboring man, with
drab overalls coming up over his breast, and
wore .a cap, had also black whiskers and
gave his name as Hanford Abbott in some
places and as Abbott Hanford in others,

One of these strange dispensatious cf Di-
vine Providence, which can never be under-
stood or' explained by the human mind,
brought crushing sorrow into one of our
happy homes last week. On Sunday, the
23d ult, Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Kendall were
in their kitchen with their/little daughter, a
beautiful and lovely child not quite two
years of age. The child had been surprising
and delighting her fond father by reciting,
in her childish way, ,Longfellow’s “Psalm of
Life,” which her mother had taught her to
lisp since the Poet's death. The mother
stood near them preparing some article for
dinner to be cooked ‘in a pan of hot lard
which stood .ready on the stove. In a
mement, when his back was turned, the doc-
tor felt the scalding fat spatter on his hand,
and turning was horrified to find the pan
upset and the contents spilled upon the face
of his darling child. Dr. Gregory was called
in to assist the father and mother in the care
of the child, but human skill could prolong
her life but a few days, the little sufierer
dying on Wednesday. Her remains were
taken to Ridgefield for interment. . -

Mr. Henry Guthrie, of Silver Mine, has
been pushing business this Spring in- a‘ lively
manner. In addition to his ordinary business
he has been getting out a large quantity of
timber to be sent to Cuba for use on plants-
l"ion railways. He sent some 80 or more car
loads of this stuff. _He is also engaged on a
contract to supply twelve hundred piles for
the new wharf of the Dahbury R ailroad at
Wilson’s Point. Tney are from twentysix
to thirty-feet in length, and mostly of chest-
nut. He has about 800 of them already
stacked up’ at the-Point and various docks in
the harbor ready for use.
The financial transactions for the three
quarters of the current fiscal year show a.
marked improvement'as compared with the
same period of the last fiscal year. There
has been an increase of $33,000,000 inxecipts
and a decrease of $9,400.000 in expenditures
and 'the surplus for the nine months is
$104,681,000, against a surplus of only $62,-
484,000 for the same time last year.. The
details of receipts show an increase tin, re-
ceipts from customs of $19,000,000 and in-
ternal revenue $8,000,000. Thedecreasc in
expenditures is almost entirely owing to the
redaction in the interest charge on the public
debt. ‘
' The Library entertainment, at the Opera
House, last Friday evening. was exceedingly
well arranged, and passed off with credit to
'all concerned. From the back of the stage
Mr. Gibson projected stereopticon views
upon the curtain, illustrative of the history

national airs in chorus, which was a very
pleasing feature, and there were some very
fine recitations and declamations by Masters
and Misses, which Were received with much
favor. The only thing to mar the enjoyment
of the entertainment was' the constant and
vociferous applause by boys in the audience,
the darkness in the hall preventing the police

Company at Music. Hall for Saturday May
Sill. I l .
The announcement. recalls a delightful
Sabbath service we enjoyed, some four years
Saratoga. before a large gathering of guests,
the grand anthem,_ “Guide me, on Titan
Great J ehova ," deeply impressingsll hearts
with her masterly rendering of the heavenly
sentiment of that most impressive musical
composition. ' 2
i It is doubtful if any "one of that large
gathering hare ever lost th'e high apprecis-‘
tion of Miss Abbott’s singing, at‘thst brief
every opportunity to hear this Queen Of
Song. whether in concert or opera, and
especially now that she is supported by a
large company of the first talent, who have
been received by crowded assemblies in all
the principal cities, and greeted with great
applause. . .
The charming Opera of the Bohemian Girl
by the distinguished Emma Abbott Company
will doubtless fill your fine Music Hall to
embrace this rare opportunity will have
reason to praise the good Judgment and per—
severance of Mr. Knapp in securing for them
so delightful an entertainment. ‘

This picturesque domestic drama is to be
produced at the Opera House; on Monday
evening, May 29th, by the famous New York
Modison Square Theatre Company. It.waa
lately spoken of by the Chicaganfer-Ouan
asfollows: / ' . v
.“A story as simple.“ a, garland-of autumn
leaves, and as delicately beautiful, makes of
“Hazel Kirke" a charming play. 2 Running
quietly. along. over- an even way, among.
shadows and in sunshine. amid smiles and
tears, but never turbulent, never harsh,
never rugged, the piece. awakens a sense
more nearly akin to the feeling of reverie
than any play we have ever wen. Its vicis-
itudes, its sorrowful phases, its lessons of
wrong. arise from the attributes of moral
right (or moral duty) and _of love... There is
nowhere an immoral set, there is nowhere, a
crime tobeatoned for, there is no villian,
no trickster, no schemer. 'Ev phase and
condition of the play is pure lean, good.
The single departure from thehiadly course,
the incentive of’ the interesting, dramatic
and emotional properties of the play, is-tho
resolute, obstinate will of a, plain, honest,
good old man, who reckons daiy‘above every
other earthly consideration. , here is an
indescribable grace, a wordless charm about,

A huge letter was received at the South
Norwalk post-office directed to the Post-
master Genersl of South Norwalk. Some
may have thought“ to be the conimissibn of
Post-master Dunning’s succession but upon
mature consultation and deliberation it was
conceeded that it must be for assistant Post-
master Brown, as he was the most General
Postmaster in South Norwalk. ,
The monthly social at‘ the City Hall occurs
this (Monday) evening. The attendance has
been quite meagre, of late, and probably to—
night will not, be an exception. ‘

Now that the city authorities have com-'
meneed the veneeriug the isnrface of our
streets with’dirt, their attention is particu-
larly called to the disgraceful condition of
the road from the Lockwood mansion to the
sand hill, or city limits. It is as though an
iron tooth barrow had been drawn over the
surface and loosened all the cobble stones
and allowed them to remain. A competent
expert has made the calculation, that an in-
telligent," competent man could, by hand,
remove all the loose stone ontbat ‘ iii-fear
hours and 17 minutes, and in two hours mid
thirtystwol minutes. break off, dig up and

snd yet itwill not‘be done—many citizens
complainthat. all our public roads, in and
known in“. years. Now that-the time has
come when. the roads will be much used, all
repairs should be-made immediately, and not
wait until J uly or August. ~ ' '

wants great deal more. There are noble ex-
captions, and we have :1 lhnitedi number rah

whowould not-be publicly known, or have
the fact,_mentioned. Such 'nien expect little
reward here, but will surely deceive it here-
