OBITUARY.
CHARLES A. LER.


 We are psined at being called upon this week, to publish the obituary of our learned correspondent, Prof. Charles A. Lee. M. D., who died of heart disease, at his resi- dencc in Peekskill last week Wednesday. From the New York TImes, we clip the following.
 "He was born h Salisbury, Conn.,, was graduated at Williams College, and studied medicine in this city Dr. Lee was man of the highest eminence In his profession, and in general science. As writer he has probably contributed more to the literature of his profession than any other author. He has edited Lees PhysiolOgy, g work formerly In extensive use in our schools Elements of geology. Copeland's Peresrd on Food and Diet, and many other works. He was for many years Professor in the New York University, the Bowdoin Medi- cal College, Berkshire Medical School, the Medical School at Woodstock, Vt., Geneva Medical College, and was also one of the founders of the Buffalo Medical School. In connection with the late Dr. Stewart of this City, he, many years s'nce, estab. lished the Northern Dspt nsary, an institu- tion which has been of great and incalcu- lable benefit to the poor of New York. He was for many years editor of the New York Journal of Medicine. In every way his whole life was unselfshly devoted to any and all objects calculated to benefit man. kind and his loss will be severely felt by the many students who have graduated under him, as well as by tue profession he 80 ably graced. He leaves a large circle of personal friends who mourn his death"

How Conductors nrc Ruined.

A rcpentant "railway detective having obtained legitimate occupation, as slight reparation for injuries done to victims, makes an expose of the ways in which innocent conductors are sometimes ruined. He desires to open the eyes of our railway officials, to the injustice of condemning in- nocent men npon the word of such as now belong to that gang (deteciives.) He says that ''ninr-tenths of tue conductors accused nf dishonesty are accused unjustly." The plan is, when they undertake to "work up , road to first select a victim to suppose It one" hat he is guilty, and then either tinl or n .nufac,ure material to establish his guilt. A miracle alone can save him they trtl il incumbent upon them to bring him in guilty.
 One dodge is 10 get some on" tn Ask conductor to change a hi!l, whila no.h, r witness of the operation sw"ars-whnt Is technically true--that hr saw tn coaduc for receSce money. and neither rctnrn or p"neh a ticket. Another pl,n is to buy two tickets at the offlce in one day. presen' one to the conductor and retain the other, reporting that the conductor took 1t (which is not tru"), hut did not punch it. Man while the unsold ticket ia given to con. federatr. who starts the next day on the same train for the same place. and presents the ticket. sold the day before, to the con- ductor. who. # he dOes not n0tice Me dafs, is trapped, It very successful plau, as it hangs both conductor and agent.
 Again: Several ''spotters" crowd around a conductor. calling at once for tickets. and offering money for different points on the road. The one who pays for the point furthest off. will manage to get from the conductor the ticket that belongs to the one paying for the nearest point. Some of the gang then get off st the first station leaving all the tickets in the hands of one or two, who go the whole distance, giving up the long tickets, and holding the short ones as evidence against the conductor. Here a case is made, and the conductor cannot make satisfactory explanation.
 These are few of the nefarious and rascally schemes used by detectives. And, moreover, the really dishonest conductors are often in the ''ring," and are seldom re. ported. He concludes by saying, "these are facts, and could give the names of parties whom know have been unjustly dealt with. l have been to the executive. and, in one case, succeeded m having man re-instated, whom believe to be strictly honest. And now take this step in vindication of those wronged. Let the managers of railroads first select honoratl le men for this responsible position, and then treat them like men,

} FuaeraL. - The funeral of Wm. Preston, who was accidentally shot while hunting in Falls Village recently, was largely attended at the church in Ashley Falls, last Friday. The sermon of the Rev Mir. Burch, of Falls Village, was listened to with marked attention. His text was; "Whstsoever thy hand fndeth to do; do it with all thy might" and most eloqusntly did he urge the faithful performance of every known duty, while on probation in this world. This sudden taking away of Mir. Preston, should teach us of the uncertainty of life. Just one week from the day of his funeral, he left his home in Falls Village and went to Ashley Falls, bought goods at the stores there, and was feeling in the best of spirits. Little did he think that one week from that day. his funeral sermon would be preached in the church there. After his
 return home. he was taken with that terri
 ble disease, Lockjaw, caused by the shot
 wound in his neck, and before death came to his relief. suffered Nntold agonies. Thus it is, SO little do we know of what we don, know.

Lyceum. The Washocastinook Literary association held an all night session last Monday evening in the hall in Lakeviie, or if not an aN night session, it must have been very near to it, as we stayed three hours longer than very late in the evening, and at the time of our departure there were no indications of an adjournment. Some thing like an hour before we left the room, realizing fully the fact that if we got out newspaper Mis sceek, we should have to bc getting out of there, we attempted flank movement toward the door, but were sud denly arrested and yerked back on the seat by that unmerciful selectman, Walton, who whispered comfort into our ear after this fashion; you sit still or I'll thrash you. If the debate is nearIy through by the time the six o'clock train goes along in the morn- ing, you can ride home on that. During the slight confusion occasioned by the ap- rlausc at the close of Deacon Grahams argument, by skilltul and very sudden jirk of the elbow, we succeeded in dodging our adhesive friend Walton, just as MT. Dahl Pratt was advancing to speak, hay ing in his hand book of something like 1000 or 5000 pages, which of course he would have to read through to strengthen the many arguments he was about to pre- sent. It is barely possible the meeting will adjourn sometime during this week, yet, when We left the room. the prospect was anything but promising. After the debate had proceeded for about two hours We had concludrd we Were thoroughly pos ted on the question before the house: viz tariff versus free trahr.'' ''hut when wt left, every idea of the suhj"ct matter il, hand was talked clean out of us. Bun comhr is nowhere. Hereafter ali loEg win dtd sprcch, will he called Washucasti hooks instead of Buncumbe. That nam, will from this time forward becume uhs0 late. IL is now an established fact. tha the Washocastinook literary association can out talk any other concern of the sor

shepoug Valley R. R. 60 Salisbury

Mr. Edlor.-By an act of ;he last legis,
 GG of this state, the Shepaug Valley k. R Go. is authorized tO extend thei. road nmlherly from its present terminus in Lilchfi,ld uAd connect with the Connecli- cut Western R. R. Salisbury has been named at the most atiyantagious and proper point for such connection, us it would open Lilchfi Id county by railroads now run ming, being built md contemplated. to all the important places on the Hudson river from Fishkill to Troy, by less distance than by any other contracting point; viz, to Fishklll. Newburgh and Erie R. K. by the Dutchess and Columbia road. To Pough
 keepsie, where charter has recently been granted for a railroad bridge across the Hudson river via the Poughkeepsie and Eastein R. R. To Rhlnebeck opposite the outlet of the Delaware and Hudson canal and the largest coal depot on the Hudson river, via the R linebeck and Connecticut R. R. now building. to connect with inc Rondnut R. R. to Syracuse N. '. To Rcd Hook the nearest pont on the river, via a short branch from the RnineEeck road. To Hudson and Athens the termi
 nus of the Schenectady branch from tue N. \. Central k. R. via u short branch c0n- templated from the Harlem R. R. To Albany and Troy by the Harlem road.
 By tue extension of the Shepaug road to Salisbury not only all these places on the Hudson river. but tue entire great west and the Pennsylvania coal mines can always be reached by rail from the centre of Litch- field county, much nearer and cheaper than by any other extension or practicable route, and the fact that the Shepaug Valley abounds with the material for charcoal, adds material to the importance of this TX tension. There is no locality capable of furnishing charcoaii in like quantities ,qually near these mines. and the constant demand for the iron made from this ore, would undoubtedly lead to the immediate estab Iishment of blast furnaces and other large iron works, in iLie vicinity of the Shrpauy road, and would certainly tend to increase the business and population and enhanc, the value of all real estate ut least through uut the entire valley, and adj .cent sections Indeed it is difficult 10 name any locality il Connecticut capable of being alike bene iited by railroad faci ci'iiirs, as ihis p"ltion Q
 Liichticld county undoubtedly would b,

Falls Village.
 It is with feeling of sadness. I record the death of our friend and neighbor Wm. Preston You recolpct he was acciden- tally shot hy comrade while fox bunting | few days ago. Hr seemed to suff,r hut little from the wound after the fret three or four days. and at the end of a week had so far recovered as to I've ont again. We supposed, as he did himself that all d,ngrr WAS past and that he would m able to return to his duties in few days. One shot had entered the back of his neck. penetrating so far among the cords ns to hr beyond tlr reach of surgical instruments. II" did not experience any inconvenience. or trouble from it. aside from little aore. n"ss. up to Saturday the IOth Nor did his friends have the least doubt as to his fin4l recovery. On Saturday the coris of his neck began to swell, attended with stiff mesa that was painful. On Sunday morn ing the swelling had extended through the jaws, and he became unable to open them 1 or even articulate. Medical aid was once more summoned when the arlarming truth was discovered; he had entered the frat stages of that fatal disease, the lock- jaw. The most powerful medicines were instant ,, ly applied, but all in vain, his days were numbered. He remained In pretty much the same condition until Wednesday night. when death ended his. sufferings. His funeral ard burial took place in Ashley Falls, He will long be remembered by his associates as Q kind hearted jovial fellow, always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. By his sporting friends, his death will he read with sorrow. A party was never complete, without himself, dog and trusty gun, to guide them. To the family we extend our heartfelt sym. pathy; and may they receive consolation from Him that 'Doeth all things we'll F-iend Thorpe, at whose hands the accident happened, bears evidence of the deep sor- now felt at the fatal termination of this sad affair. No blanc Is attached to him. The relations between them. were of the most friendly character. He was very attentive to his friend during his suffering, and followed ss a sincere mourper, hia remains to their final resting place.
