What Protection Has Done.

k-N'N ibIh lltIdtAl
The navigation interests o. tho eoun-
try under the baleiul operation OF our
suicidal laws are going from bad to
worse. During the past ten years the
tonnage CT the vessels engaged in the
domestic trade has shown little or no
increase, and during the year just
closed the number Of ships built was not
sufficient to counter5alaneo those tha,
were lost AMI those, owing TO decay,
passed out OF existence. While the ton
mage OF forei n vessels arriving in our
ports has increased 2OS per cent. in five
years, our tonnage entered from abroad
has grown only 81 per cent The loss
to our citizens from this source alone is
set down at about 500, ,0OO, 900 n year.
1t would he hard to find a parallel to
the Legislative insanity of Congress on
this subject. Our shipping interests
have been protected SO stri :tly that
there remains little to protect.

rumor that the Consolidated railroad has
contemplated purchasing Lighthouse Point
for coaling purposes is denied by President
Watrous, who says there has not even been a
proposition of the kind before the company.
The Hartford and Connecticut Western
road has purchased the Rhinebeck and Con-
necticu railroad, which runs from Millerton
to the Hudson river at Rhinecliff, and thus
becomes at once through line to the coal
regions. Between Rondout and Rhinecliff
there are ample ferry facilities, and at Rhine
cliff, as well as across the river, large wharf
privileges The Rhinebeck and Connecticut
road forty-one miles long, cost over 81, $780,
OOO and was foreclosed last year, passing
into the possession of Hon. Thomas Cornell
and the Delaware and Hudson Canal com.
pany. By the terms of the sale these parties
in selling the road become interested in the
Connecticut road SO that while it secures a
very valuable extension it also secures infu-
entail interests behind this.

An Old. Old Man,

There was pleasant family reunion in one
of our Westville homes on Wednesday, the
22d, in honor of the ninety-sixth birthday of
Captain Silas Ford. The table was laden with
good things under the supervision of Mr..
and Mrs. Warren sturgess, the latter grand
daughter of the captain. After prayer by
his pastor, Rev. Mr.. Willard, in which he
thanked God for such man and such life,
an hour was spent in agreeable conversation.
During the day prominent citizens had
called to pay their respects.
Captain Ford is, as the writer thinks, the
oldest person now living in the town of New
Haven His eye is dim and his ear heavy,
but his mental faculties are still active. He
talks of the past, the present and the future
with marked ability, and is truly wonderful
old man. There is seemingly no reason why
he may not welcome his friends on the ami
versary of his one hundredth birthday. The
Zines have fallen to him in pleasant places"
He is kindly cared for by beloved daughter
and her worthy husband. Dea Wilfred Ford
God bless the dear old man.
