children belonging to the parish received first CON-
munion. The church was dressed out in gala style;
wreaths and festoons OF flowers and hundreds OF
candles gave it a brilliant appearance, and every seat
and ,pew were occupied. Rarely has there been such
densely crowded congregation IN this city. AS the
procession OF children moved up the centre aisle,
clad In spotless white with wreaths on their heads
and banners typical OF peace and holiness waving
above them. the sight was touching one. They
passed, two by two, under an arch OF evergreens
erected at the altar, and dropping on their knees on
crimson cushions they received the blessed sacra-
ment from the hands Of their respected pastor.
Father Donney preached an eloquent and touching
sermon to the little ones on the greatness OF the
step they had taken ana on the example which their
Holy Mother, who this day taken into Heaven,
set before them. MIR. Goebe presided at the organ,

NEW JERSEY RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.

NEW YORK, August Is, 1870.
To TUE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your article in this mornings paper, entitled
Railroad Consolidation and the Consequences"
is timely and important. The railroad corpora
tions Of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
appear to take 1t for granted that no legislative
or judicial power can interfere with their schemes
for gain and ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and 80 proceed IN
relentingly in their encroachments on the per-
sonsl rights Of citizens. Every new success but
emboldens them for new and more outrageous
demands.
As an instance, / would refer to fact of
which l was witness this morning. Your
readers are aware that the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad companies have re.
Gently adopted regulations in regard to com
muters which are deemed by the latter as unneces-
sary and onerous. One of these forbids the
commuter to stop at way-station under penalty
of forfeting bis right to the remainder of the trip
The reason at first assigned and the reason in
ferred from the cavalier manner of the president
towards those who waited upon him, was that
most potent and unanswerable one, because the
company can and will" The next reason, pro-
mulgated by. the president himself, was that
. these id Jerssymen should not do speeding
business on his road"
Finally one of the directors discovered and as
signed one more plausible and commendable
which was that the company must know what to
depend on in the number and destination of their
passengers, so that they might adapt the number
Of their cars to correspond. Our patient, nom
resistant commuters gorged this bait, and have
been chewing it ever since, in the be-
lief that it really amounted to something
The shallowness and hypocrisy of that pretense Is
apparent when the fact of the case is that since
the adoption Of the rule referred to above there
has been no mitigation in the crowded condition
of the cars. This morning the twenty-five min
utes past seven train from Montclair carried las
near as could be counted and estimated) one hun.

dred and thirty-four passengers on the platforms
and in the passageways, and there was not va
cant seat on the train. The number Of passen-
gers was the usual number for Monday morning,
and the company cannot plead any special ex-
ception in this case.
The true reason for this and other outrages is
found, believe, in the appalling fact that this
company is not practically responsible to any
higher power or government, and can trample
under foot, with impunity, the private rights of
citizens. There is no remedy left but through the

DANGER Of Being Weighed.

Among the incidents Of the Gin
cinnati exposition was a man who
weighed all who had any curiosity
in regard to their avoirdupois. The
Times gives the consequences thus:
Speaking of getting weighed, the
gentleman who weighed people from
morning till night on Forsyth's plat
form scales, (giving each person
weighed card with his or her
weight on it aif they would only
yait" must have a good deal to an
swer for. We understand he has
broken up a number Of engagements
already, by remorselessly telling
the truth regarding ladies' weights.
He oughn't to do that. When q
young lady is hooped, padded and
stuffed to represent one hundred and
thirty-five pounds, instead of nine
ty-six, her actual weight, the weight
ist ought to be gallant enough to
mark her down one hundred and
thirty-fve pounds.
We saw one of these dear, decep-
tive creatures step upon the scales
Yesterday afternoon. She seemed
plump IS a partridge at first sight,
and made of that substantial mater
ial Hamlet wished would melt, thaw
and resolved itself into dew. She
stepped on to the platform with q
bounce that made the scale kick the
beam, though loaded down with
weights, Even the scales, veterans
as they are in the business, were a
little fooled at first. But they quick
ly recovered their equilibrium and
finely settled down to ninety, her
actual weight. She looked as
though she would faint when she
saw the figures, but her lover who
was standing by-he was perfectly
abashed and speechless with amaze
ment. He had evidently been
counting her under the impression
that she was a plump and every way
substantial specimen Of the feminine
gender, and now to find her a delu-
sion if not snare-a mere feather
weight was too much, or rather
too little. They walked silently
away, but it was evident her jig was
up with him. Through the aid Of
Forsyth the scales had fallen from
his eyes,"

Table Convergstion.

You will find that a great deal of
character is impaired and received at
the table. Parents too often forget
this; and therefore, instead Of swal-

instead Of severely talking about
others, let the conversation at the Is.

ing. Don't bring disagreeable things
to the table in your conversation, any
more than you would in your dishes.
For this reason, too, the more good
company you have at your table is an
educator to the family. Hence the
intelligence and the refinement and
appropriate behavior of a family
which is given to hospitality. Never
feel that intelligent visitors can be
anything but a blessing to you ap1
yours. How few have fully gotten
hold of the fact that company and
conversation at the table are no small
part Of education.

Ex-Governor Samuel Cony, who
died at his residence in Augusta,
Maine, Wednesday afternoon, at the
age of ffty-nine, was a native Of
Augusta, but when a young man re.
moved to Bangor, where he engaged
in thelumber business and lived for
a anumber of years, but returned after
ward to the former city and became
President Of the Augusta Bank. In
early life he was a strong Democrat,
and, after holding sevsralother offices
he was elected State Treasurer by
that party, and by successive reeleo-
tions filed the constitutional term
of five years. With the breaking
out Of the war, however, he repudiat-
ed his old party, and in 1852 was elect
ed to the Legislature by the Republic
cans simply as q Union man. The
next summer he was elected Cover
nor by the same party and twice re-
elected.In this Office he supported
vigorously the war policy ofthe Gen

nestly that his health was consider
ably impaired. Since retiring from
the Governorship he has not been
engaged in public life, and for some
months his health has been gradua-
lly failing.
