Seventieth Birthday.

The children, grandchildren, relatives and friends of NIT. Calvin Russell assembled last evening at the residence of that gentleman, corner of Peck and Monroe streets, to the number of eighty or ninety, the occasion be- ing the birthday of Mir. Russell. The gath ering and the presentation which followed was surprise to him, happily planned and executed. A delightful evening was spent to the great satisfaction of all, and Mir. Russell was presented with an elegant easy chair by Mrs. Sarah E. Tucker, of Mantle, in behalf of the company assembled. Her remarks were as follows:
 Father-We have still another surprise for you, and have been chosen the genie who opes the door of the hidden treasure With thoughtful affection the offering has been se- lected as tribute to those victorious years, which, wearing the crown of earnest merit. must now lay off all care to flow on in cheer full and restful peace. We shall tease You with moment of conjecturing what that birthday present may be, while we tell you how happy we are to be here to night with your seventy years, and how proud we are, father, one and all of the record of those seventy syears. We know how you have fought the good fight against oppression and wrong Tn whatever guise it has come to you Your anti slavery vote, one of the famous nine of Connecticut, in the year 1856 was one of the first blows which, striking deep. cleansed slavery from our land. Your zeal in the cause ot education, your steadfast bearing when brought to the point of imme- diate decision by little incident of school ruling, whereby, through your quick parcep tlon and fearless determination, the schools of New Haven were made free, are matters of school history.
 Thousands may now rise up to call you benefactor. The little incident which brought about such grand results we hope you will relate to us bye and bye. A stern foe to in- temperance, the halo of your seventy years is made resplendent by the VOWS of your youth, dedicated to the principles from which you have never swerved A leader in debate, you have stimulated others to go for ward. Your rectitude in mercantile life, forty years without even @ genteel failure, father; and above all, yet bearing on all, your duties to your Christian faith, which through over fifty years has preserved you an honored member of the Center church, the sanctuary whose bosom you sought in the early years when an ambitious boy you entered New Haven from old Branford, the home of your ances tors for many generations, surely we have reason to honor you thus to night. Yes, and so truly proud are we of this long life so filled with justice to others, and tender devo. tion to your own, that it is with the utmost filial reverence we have gathered here with friends to offer you congratulations and wish you many happy returns. There are those, father, passed over the river who have worked with you, loved you and looked up to you. From you to them our love reflects. But have you guessed our second surprise Then, father, here it is. I now resign. Will you accept the chair. :?

 were brought to Westport yesterday.
 man found dead Thursday beside tue NhuBaCucK rallrOau tracK near baiuWlu
 Station, above the junction. It was thought at first that he was cut by the cars, but upon examination it is the opinion that he was
 injured by some sharp instrument. Two
 tramps were seen the night before where the body lay. An investigation is in progress. How am Insane Man Died. In the case of Smith, the insane convict who was found dead in his cell in the Weth ersfeld State prison Wednesday morning
 testimony at the inquest showed that he died with straight jacket on and gag in hit mouth. And the further fact was developed
 that the strap to the gag had been buckled up one hole tighter on the evening previous to his death than it had been before. Wher
 man is gagged it is necessary to secure his hands so as to prevent him from removing the gag, and this is the reason why Smitt was put in 8 straight jacket. In spite of al he would work the gag out of his mouth, anc to stop this the strap was frightened up ont hole the last night, and nothing more was ever heard of him. He died that night. Int jury returned verdict that he died of icon vulsions.'
 When discovered dead his face was black evidence of strangulation. In enforcing dis cipline the blunder was made.

A Crazy Woman's Endurance.

The finding alive of Mary Stanton, the missing lunatio reported to have been drowned in reservoir near Norwich some weeks ago, shows case of remarkable physical endurance. When found her cloth ing was in filthy and dilapidated state, and she had become so emaciated that she was merely the shadow of her former self She is still demented, and when she found that she was pursued she ran like deer.
 When she got home she was able to tell the occasion of her sudden departure, and ex- plain where she had secreted herself. It seems there were 8 number of boys in the fields on the 22d of August hunting, and Miss Stanton hearing the report of the fowling pieces imagined that they were shooting at her She left the party she was with and walked to Baltic, where she bought pound of crackers and cheese. She then returned leisurely to the neighborhood of the Fairview reservoir and entered the woods southeast of the city property, and has re- nlained there ever since, subsisting on nuts and fruits which she gathered in the vicinity. The woods there are dense and in many places the underbrush is almost impenetra ble She ayers that she received no food excepting that she bought at Baltic and gath cred in her wanderings, and her physical condition corroborates her statements.
