EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR: Goodale, a prominent citizen of South Egremont, and father of the child -Charles, poetesses, was robbed and probably fatally hurt, Tuesday week, it is thought, by a tramp, who attacked him while in his own barn. -Rev. Mr. Bolton, of Armonk, is making an earnest canvass for the Republican nomination for School Commissioner. He would make an excellent commissioner and no better man for the position can be named -we think.

-FALL RIVER'S MANUFACTURES. -The market last week, for printing cloths was quiet but steady at previous quotations, with light sales of 60 by 56 at cents. Sales for the week, 191,000 pieces; production, 115,000 pieces, and stock on band, 272,000 pieces. -The city of Boston advertised for proposals to build a tunnel, one and a balf miles long, to Moon Island in the harbor, through which the entire sewage of the city will be discharged. It is intended that the tunnel shall rest abont one hundred and thirty feet below the bottom of the harbor, and the cost of the enterprise is estimated $500,000.

boy, about 16 to 18 yeargold, (named Atwater we believe) is selling blueing in this vicinity and using the name of the rector's wife of St. Peter's Church, as recommening him and his blueing he has also used the names of other ladies who repudiate him and warn the people of Port Chester, Rye and vicinity to beware of him. -A private circular has been issued by the Trade Assembly of St. Louis and sent to all the Assemblies of the United States and British America, setting forth a project. for a general strike of trades, the time to be determined by the Trade Assemblies and to take united action for the adoption and enforcement of the eight hour law, the abolition of the truck system and of child labor.

-The Secretary of War's estimates for the coming year include the following: Thames river, Connecticut, construction of breakwater at New Haven, improvement of harbor, Milford, ima provement of the Housatonic river, harbor of Bridgeport, harbor of Southport, harbor of Port Jefferson, Long Island Sound, harbor of Norwalk, Conn $15,000. -The great walk for the Astley belt, in more's garden, New York, ended Saturday, at midnight, lasting one week.

The Saratoga and Portsmouth have already arrived at Portsmouth.

The Minnesota and Constitution, the other two training ships, will also be present. In addition to these, the Powhatan, Marion, Kearsage, and probably the Vandalia, of the North Atlantic Station, will take part in the review. Town of Rye Matters. The Town Board have met and probably will not make any road appropriations this- year. This continual bonding of the town, has ceased, at least with the present officials.

The Moseman Place. The announcement in this week's JOURNAL, that the beautifully situated Moseman Place, on Willet street and Main street, Port Chester, has been laid out cut into choice building plots, of about 25x100 feet, and are offered for gale, recalls many interesting incidents of the times." As we stood in John E. Marshall's store viewing the new map we could not resist the temptation of rehearsing some of the incidents which gather around the Moseman Place, one of the few ancient landmarks remaining in our village. The new street laid out through this property from Willet street to Highland street, Is about of a mile long by 150 feet wide, and is very properly named Marvin Place, a suggestion we believe of one of the present proprietors, Mr. Willet Mosem in, in honor of Lewis Marvin, who built the old homestead in 1759, or 120 years ago.

Dr. Baird in his excellent history of. Rye (referring to Port Chester) speaks of the Moseman place as follows: Maps of a century ago indicate no more than half a dozen houses between Regent street and Byram bridge, and even twenty years later, there were not more than sixteen or eighteen. Lewis Marvin's house WaS Else most noted of these. It is now (1871) the residence of Mrs.

Moseman, of Willet street, near the railroad arch, and remains a good specimen of the solid and comfortable dwellings of the better sort in olden times. The old country road ran along the nortbern- side of this house, where a lane, is yet to be seen. Lewis Marvin, Merchant," lived lepe as carly as 1758, and his house appears on the Military Map of 1778. He died in the latter part of -the war, and was buried with his wife Martha, near, the Episcopal Church, at Rye. The house passed into possession of Sanuel Marvin, who kept a tavern here for HOmO years.

Reuben Coe, Mrs. Moseman's father, bought this place early in the present century." It is said that Gen'l Alex. Hamilton, and Washington's staff, once spent the night at Mr. Coe's, the General being much taken with Mrs. Coc.

This property has, for over 120 years, been owned only by three families, viz: The Marvins, Coes, and Mosemans. The new lots offer excellent sites for residences and we think will be quickly taken up, especially as desirable lots, near the center of the village are very scarce and grow fewer every year. The Fair. speaking of the Fairfield County Fair the In Norwalk Gazette says: "The show inside the exhibition building was equal to most recent years. As in these later times the main interterest seems to center in and upon the race course, there is not that special effort made for the other and oldest branches, which used interest and instruct visitors to the exlibition! quarters of an agriculture show.

This year, the trotting bill was well and apparently. very satisfactorily filled. Still there will be those old-time friends of the Fair of purely Agricultural or esthetic tastes, who will growl because the horse is crowding himself to the front at all modern State, County and Town annual Fairs. ladies, God bless them, came to The the rescue nobly within Exhibition Hall. There was an unusual quantity of fine needle work, crochFeting, wax-flowers, (some exquisite specimens) and the usual abundance of designs.

The net receipts of the Fair are not as large as was hoped for. Mayor Morrison as financial agent, exerted himself to the utmost to make this year's exhibition a pecuuiary success." Railroad Matters. A new locomotive has been turned out at the repair shop of the, consolidated road. It is to take the place old No. 34 which will be run as an extra freight engine on the Harlem river branch.

Messrs. D. P. Nichols and Charles Hull, appointed by the New York and New England railway company to arrange the land damages in securing right of way through Danbury, have completed their labors, With exceptions they succeeded in making satisfactory arrangements. -Danbury News.

The Danbury News pays the following well deserved compliment Superintendent B. Stillson of the Housatonic road: Mr. L. B. Stillson, who has for nearly a year served as acting superintendent of the Housatonic railway, was appointed the superintendent last week.

Mr. Stillson's career demonstrates quite vividly the benefits of a thorough attention to every duty however humble it may be, and is a stimulus to every honest endeavor. He began at the very lowest round of the ladder. On the first of July, 1855, he made his first appearance on the Housatonic railway ns a newsboy. He served in this capacity nearly a year, and then got a place as brakeman, in which position he remained several years, when he was promoted to be baggage-master.

In the Summer of 1863 he was further promoted to a conductorship, and a year later took one of the regular day trains, in wbich position he remained until last November, when he became acting superintendent. That this choice has been wisely evident enough. In the ten months he has acted as superintendent he has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the railway company his executive ability, and his appointment natural reward of faithful service and the gratifying result. We congratulate Mr. Stillson upon his election and the company upon the possession of so excellent.

FOX HUNTING -On Saturday last the Rye Hunting Club enjoyed the ancient ATE and novel pastime of a fox hunt. The Club assembled early in the morning, the pack of hounds, numbering thirteen, under the direction of Mr. Gus. Steinhardt, of Rye, and John Culbertson, of this village, were let loose, and at half six the first fox broke cover. The chase was hotly contested.

The fox led the hounds a weary distance, some fifty persons and six horsemen participating in the exciting enjoyment. The ground covered in the chase was about forty miles, the hunt lasting from 6.30 to 12.30 o'clock, at which time the fox was killed near White Plains, distant from the place. of uncovering about ten miles. Our townsman, John Culbertson, obtained the brush. The sec.

ond fox was uncovered about one o'clock, and. after an exciting chase of two and a half hours the reynard was killed about five miles dis tant from the start, Mr. Gua. Steinhardt receiv. ing the brush.

It is expected that the next meeting will be held in the town of Bedford -New Rochelle Press. THE ORGAN RECITAL. -The organ recital Inst Saturday commenced with the following selection from the Creation "-Overture (representation of Chaos); Recit and Chorus, "In the Beginning Air and Chorus, "Now Vanish;" Solo with chorus, "The Marvellous The music all very fine; the last on the list extremely so. The second piece on the programme-Handel's Waft her Angels," is one of singular beauty-so sweetly plaintive and touching, and so descriptive of the sad event it is intended to commemorate and deplore-renEST too -as we imagine its composer would (have wished it to be played -made this performance (having on our mind the mournful tale it originated in) a most impressive and not ensily, to be forgotten one. The Motett by Spohr which followed, is a fine, spirited composition very well given by the professor.

We are great admirers of Spohr's compositions and should be glad to hear them more frequently but he writes very difficult music that probably prevents its general introduction. The Andantes by Schumann was the next peice-a chastegracefal and exquisitely melodious morceau, the lights and shades of which were faithfully presented by Professor Browne, whose rendering of this class of music is perfect. We hope he will give us more of Schumann before the recitals close. Handel's chorus, "Zadok the Priest," concluded the performance, but we were so wrapped in what had preceded it that we did not give this fine piece the attention it deserves. We are glad to learn these recitals are to be continued.

W.

9. 9. Advertisements. The Weekly 27 vs. a Country Postmaster aud others of Judge Robertson's Fuglemen.

We were opposed to the nomination of Judge Robertson for Governor because we desired the Republican party to bestow its honors upon man, who was free, as Judge Robertson is not, from questionable entanglements, and from whose career it might reasonably be argued, it could not from Judge Robertson's, that elected he would be his own master, and not the obedient tool of some unscrupulous corporIntion. If we chanced to expose weak spots in armor, surely we were not to blame, for a man who asks a great party to endorse him as worthy of the highest office in the gift of the people of a State, by that very act, invites the most rigid scrutiny. Chagrined and embittered by his defeat- -which he ascribes, if we may judge by his recent bristling hostility, in some measure at lenst, to us--he has employed his leisure mosince his return from the canvention in. interviewing such of his admirers as he thought he could munage, and beseeching them to withdraw their patronage from this paper. Now to the course which the Senator has chosen to pursue, we' would have- no right, neither do we care, to interpose an objection.

We bear the gentlemen no sort of ill will. We have regretted quite ns much as anybody that the public interest has demanded that we should oppose his aspirations-but it could scarcely be expected that he would understand This, accustomed as he is to the indiscriminate flattery of the hungry horde of placemen whom he has made. Hence his attempts to injure us, following close upon the heels of his discomfiture at Saratoga, do not surprise us any more than they disturb us. White therefore it is true that we are perfectty willing that he should antagonize 115 in any way he thinks proper, still we do not propose to allow bim, without an emphatic protest and advertisement of his methods, to use the machinery of the United States government to recomplish his designs. The postmaster at Katonah happens, by the grace of Wm.

H. Robertson, to be Mr. E. B. Newman, a person of zeal without discretion.

Mr. Newman in his over weenin: anxiety to assist his official creator in his campaign against the WEEKLY, has been guilty of grave official misconduct. As subscribers have called at his office, for their copies of the WEEKLY, he has used his influence to induce them to discontinue taking it from the office. He has sent to the WEEKLY lists of persons who have refused to receive their paper; and in order to make these lists as formidable as possible he has included in them names of persons who have never been regular subscribers. He has in one instance detained a copy of the WEEKLY in his office for several days, and when the indignant subscriber has asked why the paper was not delivered as soon as received, he has answered that he was indirectly informed that said subscriber did not wish longer to receive it.

This official is in fair why to learn that postmasterships are public trusts and not machines. to execute the private wishes of local political moguls. If indeed his indefensible partisanship costs him his official head he will be in a posito appreciate the excellent advice of the Judge to the criminal about to be hung, "and may it teach you a lesson." It is understood. however, that Judge Robertson declares, in feet, that the Katonah post office is his personal property, and that his influence in Washington will be sullicient to shield its present head from decapitation regardless of whit may be proven against him: It is barely possible that it may appear that Judge Robertson is mistaken when be unagines that the principles governing action of the present general government at Washington, are similar to those which he has so successfully employed in his political career in Westchester county. The stand we have lately taken has served to resuseitate another species of petty persecution, but one which vexes us only in that men will insist in thrusting it into our faces just as though we thought it of consequence and despite our oft repeated assertions to the contrary.

A certain reputable merchant, about whose only weakness is that he poses as prophet to Senntor Robertson as God, has advised us that unless we discontinue our "attacks" upon that gentleman he shall feel obliged to withdraw his advertising from our columns. Our only feeling is that. wishing to do this he had dope and not bothered us with his threats. We thought we had made it plain some time since that when a tunn paid for an advertise ment in our columes, and it appeared, he got all that he could ask for, and that we should not consider it necessary to consult him in any way as to the management of the literary deto partment of the good paper. The policy good of this is uphold principles and men, and its rapidly increasing prosperity is not the Least important proof of the public appreciation of its osition.

ALLEGATION OF POSTMASTERLY FEELING. Charles E. Travis of the Mt. Kisco WEELLY, an independent news. is editor and proprietor paper which is published in Westehester county.

Yesterday afternoon he appeared before the Secret Service Bureau in the post-office building and filed an affidavit complaining against Postmaster Newman, of Katonah, for official delinquency. The afidavit charges that the Postmaster is an intimate friend of Senator Robert- son, and has undertaken to carry his private feelings into official action because Mr. Travis' paper has criticised that Senator. The complainant says that he has received from Post master Newman two notices on post-office blanks substantially reading: You are notified that papers addressed to (giving several names) are refused, and you are requested to. stop That among these names were those of Dr.

Chapman, E. B. Newman, and J. Knox. That he never had a subseriber named Dr.

Chapman and that the name was. put in to All up the notice paper and to swell the look of the list when it was shown to others- was also the name of E. B. Newman, which is either fictitious or the name of the postmaster himself. That so far from Mr.

Knox declining to receive the paper, he had asked for it on the week prior to the notice.and had been told that the paper had not arrived. the No matter disposition is can be made of the case until revised at Washington." -New York World, Sept. 10. "A GREAT REPUBLICAN STATESMAN. "William H.

Robertson, the pro tem. president of the State Senate and perpetual candidate for Governor, lives at Katonah; Charles E. Travis, the editor of the Mount Kisco WEEKLY, a paper which circulates extensively in that part of the county, lives there also. The latter. has published a number of articles in his paper reflecting upon Judge Robertson's course, and asking him a number of questions very hard to answer.

The articles and the interrogatories made quite a stir in the county. They opened people's eyes. The paper was in demand, and circulated nt Saratoga while the convention was in session, Senator Conkling, Robertson most intimate political enemy, was seen reading the paper with great gusto. We believe Judge Robertson was not nominated for Governor. "Whereupon straightway Judge Robertson is declared that the Mount Kisco WEEKLY was too vile a paper to circulate town, and the postmaster of Katonah, who in his understood to be Robertson's creature, set at work to get the subscribers to the paper in that towy to stop it.

Ile is said to hinve neglected to deliver the paper to one or more of its subscribers last Saturday on one pretext or another, and to have backed his excuses and his plead-. ings with people to stop the paper with the assurance that Judge. Robertson was determined to stamp out the scandalous sheet, editor "This for petty and paltry persecution of a young the free expression of opinion in the public press shows the dimensions of Mr. William H. Robertson, an eminent Republican statesman.

The conduct of the postmaster deserves instant investigation, and if he has done what he is charged with doing he should be immediately removed. The post-office at Katonah does not belong to Judge Robertson, but to the United States. -Evening Express- -Mount Kisco Weekly, September 13th. Adv't. Is it truc that Judge Robertson, who took an active part in the Jay Westchester Milk Convention last Tuesday (wherein the protest of the farmers against unjust discrimination in Vanderbilt's railway freight charges was something more than a side issue), is a director of one of Vanderbilt's roads, that he has been one of Harlem's directors, that his firm at White Plains has President acted as Vanderbilt's of attorney, that while pro tem, the Senate at Albany he appointed Wagner Chairman of the Railroad Committee, and that he himself was chairman of Vanderbilt's Committee (always known as Vanderbilt's Committee)?
