' S.P;E_C-I=A'L TOWN MEETING.
The special“meeting of the inhabitants of this
_‘ town ‘on v.'SatLi_i;r:day last, was unusually well at-
tended, and :i_'i,i‘iii'ked _by a spirifif comprehen’
give __and economy, which bodes wel
for-the improygment and advantage of the town-
The first object in order, for which the meeting _
was called,-'wus-the consideration of a petition
of Thomas C. Hanford, and Others, f0!‘ '1 mild
from‘ the foot"of{Flzix Hill, to run northerly and
intersect at 1-'o;'.1'd~‘,.runniiig from Mallory dc Han-
ford’s hat shop, «to, Round Hill, on the turnpike.
The petition granted, as follows:
Voted, That -~.the Select Men, be authorized
to lay outa road._o_n the route as surveyed, pro-
vided that Thomas C. Hanford will give the
right of way over the north lot, being about 24
rods, and make, the fences, and work tlie-road
over the whole route. at his own expense, to the
acceptance of the "Select Men.
The proposed road is 66 rods in length, and
runs through land owned by James Quintard,
Esq. who proposes to give the right of way for
the sum of $100,. which, as we understand the
matter, is the whole amount of p1n'chase which
the town is required to make.
"In thematter of ‘the Iron Safe, for which a
committee had been appointed at a previous
meeting, report. was made and accepted, that a
safe sufficient for the town records, could not be
obtained for less tlian $450. No action was ta-
ken. . V . l ' __ ..
..\Vilh regard to an Alins House, acommittce,
consisting of Thomas B. Butler. A. E. Beard,
and J. Camp, J r., was appoiiiitcd to ascertain if
a farm proper for such purpose, with buildings,
could be obtained, and to report at an ad-
journed meeting to be held on the 2d Saturday
of March. _
A report, which was made in 1839, when the
mine matter was up, was read in part. and com-
mented upon by Dr. Butler, and ordered to be
ro-published in the Gazette. -
The report, which contains many statistics,
and much valuable information, will appear next
week.
THE SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS‘
-LICENSES, &c.
The License Commissioners for this town,
met according to law, at the Town Clerk's
Ofiice on Monday last, and as was generally
apprehended, refused all licenses, except for-
Mcdicinal, Mechanical, and Sacramental purpo-
ses. To meet these wants, they granted licen-
see to the three physicians of the place. The
whole matter will be found in the following
document, adopted and signed by the gentlemen
composing the commission.
\Vl_iere_as the Bonard of Coimnissioners of the
Town of N orwalk, in the County of F airfield,
and State of Connecticut, reposing special con-
fidence in the integrity and faithfulness of IR.-l
Gascoar, Jomv A. MCLI-LAN, and EMERY Bis-
SELL, to support the laws of this State, for the
suppression of an im_proper use of \Vines and
Spiritous Liquors, and having approved of the
said Gregory, McLean, and Bissell, according
to law, to be veiiders of thesame; we therefore
do give license to t.lie’said Ira Gregory, John A.
McLean, and Emery Bissell, to be vendors of
\Vincs and Spiritous Liquors, either by tliem-
selves or an Agent or Agents, duly approved by
the said Board of Conimissioners, but under the
following limitations and restrictions, viz:
That they do furnish constantly \Vines and
Spiritous Liquors of approved qualities, and at
reasonable, prices, for Medicinal, Mechanical,
and Scaramental purposes, and vend the same
for such purposes only, but in no case, when
they have reason to believe they will be perver-
ted_ to other purposes. Also, that they keep an
accurate account of the quantity of each kind
of \Viues and Spiritous Liquors sold, and the
date of the sales, to whom sold, and the amount
received for the same, said account to be exhib-
ited to the Board of Commissioners, or any one
of them, and at any time when called for. ac-
cording to the laws of this State,in the said Town .
of Norwalk, until the second Monday of January
next, unless revoked by the Board of Commis-
sioiiers.

There were ten applications for permission to
deal in the critter, among whom was Mr. Frank
Barlow, a gentleman of color, who, wished to
sell the article merely for medicinal purposes!
The Legislature of New York met on Tues-
day the 6th.
\Vm. \V. Dean of Ostego, was appointed Clerk.
Gov. \Vright sent in an interminable message.
A large part of the message is made up of na-
tional concerns. Hostility to protection, is a
it prominent feature, in the way, (as acotempo-
rary has it) of “sly and sneaking innuendo.”—-
The Independent Treasury is endorsed as a
wholesome measure, the natural consequence of '
I’olk’s election. Anti-Rentism, State Internal
Improvements and Revenue, Common School
Education, dcc. are also prominent subjects of
this lengthy epistle.
S'rr:AMao.u's.—-W'e mentioned last week,that
the Steamer Trojan had been placed upon this
route, but failed to say, for the reason that we
were not acquainted with the fact, that she also
ran" to Bridgeport, merely touching at this place.
We now learn. from good authority, that the
Trojan will be followed, or, we might more
properly say, preceded by the Cataline, through
to Bridgeport, touching at the intermediate land-
ings, on Wednesday of this week, changing her
arrangements to suit and accompany the new
comer, and that an other boat, perhaps the Cro-
ton, will take place on the route between Nor-
walk and New York, to supply the place of the
Cataline. Our citizens may therefore look for
an interesting state of things in the steamboat
world. The Peeks’ never enter into this kind
of business with a timid heart, so that, if the
Trojan owners have back-bone, and will enough
to play their part with vigor, a; second edition of
those glorious times when a passage 110 New
York cost but 0. York shilling, will in all proba-
bility be given to the world, “Go it while your

AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF
. DR. FISK. ~ ,
Ma. Enrron ;—-I have read with muehtinl-,
the first President of the Wesleyan University.
The author has drawn a beautiful portrait of
his subject—beautiful, because it is true. I ex-
tract from the work the following incident for
your paper:
“There was no little romance in those days,
in the life of a Methodist itinerant minister. It
was almost constantly diversified by incident,
amusing, grotesque, edifyiiig, and not unfre-
qiiently elevated. The various persons with
whom he came in contact—lodging to-niglit in
a palace, to-mori-ow night in a hut—-—afi'oi-ded a
fine field in the study of human nature : the ex-
tent of their travels, furnished" high gratification
to the love of natural scenary. He was inde-
pendant as the Calmuc, and free as the inoun-
tain hunter. True, he encountered some hard
fare, but not more so, than \Vasliington Irving
describes, in his Tour to the Prairies. And
then,how delightful, by contrast, was the clean
hearth and cheerful fire of the substantial farm
house, where every one viedjinfassiduitytosliow
him kindness, after having been pelt-ed by the
mountain storm, or half famished, among the
semi-civilized mountaineers, to whom he had
been carrying the Gospel of peace l These
‘lights and shadows often diversified the itinei"
ancy of Mr. Fisk. Take the following speci-
men : -
As Mr. and 1VIrs. Fisk (it was her first initia-
,tion) persucd their journey to Lyndon, while
i yet in the State of New Hampshire, they were
-011 a certain occasion overtaken by night, before
they reached their intended stopping place.—
There was a prospect of a very dark night. Mr.
Fisk therefore stopped at a comfortable looking
farm-house, and asked if they would entertain
strangers.
g “Yes.” replied the old lady, who opened the
C100?» “if you have any religion.”
“If we have not." said Mr. Fisk, “pel'lm.ps
;you can help us to some.”
“O, then" was the reply, “come in, come in,
with all my heart.” ‘
They accordingly passed the night at the
cottage, where they were hospitably entertain-
cd., They found their hostess a rare specimen
of primitive Christianity; one whose walk seein-
cd to be in the very precincts of a better world.
In the morning our traveler was invited to
! lead the devotions of the family, which he did,
with such fervour and eloquence, that the‘ good
old lady was completely melted down ; and
when he closed, she in her turn began, she
poured out her heart in such strains of humble
love and devout praise, as showed a soul in close
communion with the skies. \Vhen her guests left
the house, she followed them to the dooi', cry-
ing after them, “God bless thee, thou blessed of
the Lord; continue faithful, and God will hold
thee in his right hand I” There are seine who
will not be S1ll'pl‘lSC(ll0llf‘i1l‘ that this was Mrs.
Fletcher, of Unity, N. .ll., long known as an
‘Israelite indeed, in wlioni there was no guilc.’
She and her slraiige gmsf, are now the inhabi-
tants of the lilcssed abodcs,
‘\Vlicre all things that are lovely, meet,
And all things that are pure.’ "
How very beautiful is the closing period 3 l

Messrs. PETTIT of Indiana, and CHlI’MA‘.‘«'

thinks and so declares, that. education is at war
with democracy, are fit subjects for, and we
;hcartily commend them to, the attention and la-
bors of our village anti-tobacco society. It is
lsaid that the incense of these .gentlcmen’s ci-

gladies. A regular Empire Club loco, is a choice

Rev. Dr. Zl1cClay.—-It gives us pleasure
to inform the numerous friends of this
venerable and respected clergyman, who
have been for the last few days in painful
anxiety as to his fate, that he is one of
those who escaped with life from the
wreck of the steamer Belle Zane, which
was overturned by stri .ing a snag in the
Mississippi on the 18th of December, with
90 seals on board, 40 of whom are suppos-
ed to have perished. .
Dr. McClay, who was in bed when the
boat struck, jumped from his bertli and
waded across the cabin, breast deep in

Cassius M. Clay has been in the city of New

about the decision of the case before the Sn-
