an}: , GALE or FRIDAY!
'. ' Great Destruction of Prepertv.

‘One of the most terrific gales of wind
within the experience of the oldest inhabit»
unt,commenced at about midnight, increas-
ing in vehemeuce up to Friday noon. when its
(my somewhat abated, and at sundown, a
more calm and pleasant winter‘s evening
could not have been desired. But its terrors
can best be comprehended by details of de—
struction which folIOWed in its wake. In
and about the Bridge—Signs, Shutter-s, Aw-
nings, Scuttles, etc., seemed to be, for most
of the forenoon, enjoying a mad cap carni-
val. Chimnies‘ were blown down on the
houses of Rev. Mr. Weed, Capt. Merritt,
'Chas. Olmstead, and the Union School
House, with perhaps numerous others, that
we may not have heard from. At South Nor-
walk, three Chimnies were blown from Ely‘s
-3. Hall, the Signal Ball on the Draw Bridge,
and sundry Sheds and Outhouses came to the
ground. ‘ l
The wait front battlement of Col. Lock’
wood’s new and beautiful cdific e, was blown
down upon the roof, crushing through the
roofing, and doing considerable injury to
p the frontcornice. The Colonel was fortunate
I , however in that but one battlement was cai—
ricd over, as the mortar had been cut out all
about the edges of the roof to a depth of
some four or five inches on the inner side, for
the purpose of inserting the edges of the tin,
, _which had not been replaced either with the
tin 'or mortar. The turrets on . top the
venerable Town House Cupola, also yielding
,. to the pressure. as did some. of the turned
ornaments on the steeple of the Baptist church.
But the most appalling calamity in the des—
truction of property, was the entire demoli-
tion and utter destruction of the New Metho-
dist Church, the beautiful front elevation of
which had just began to. challenge the local
pride and admiration of our citizens. . Al
about ten o’clock a. m. it became apparent
that the Edifice could not much longer with—
stand the gale, and at a quarter to eleven the
rear foundation wall‘fell beneath the strain
and crushing outward,the whole edifice fell
inward with a tremendous crash. and now lies
a niosf; complete and sorrowful wreck. Sad
as is this calamity, and severe as must he the
pecuniary Ioss‘to the little Society which has
struggled so hard to procure the means for
its erection, it bears no comparison to the
terrors whicha similar disaster would involve,
had it occurred when filled with pcople.———
' That the edifice was too slightly constructed
' for a place liablegbe crowded with people,
has been the gene] 1 expression of the popular
belief, and this opinion finds a melancholy
confirmation in the fact that it was swept
down by the gale of Friday. We hope the
lesson.'severe as it is, will not be without its
benefits.

The Liberty Pole was blown from the Phe—
nix Engine Co’s House.
B. M.Terrell was also injured to the extent

‘ or about $100. The Cross upzn the Catholic
Church was also blown off. A house ill the
course of erection at Sang-Muck was consid—
erably damaged. as was also the roof of' the

. old India Rubber Factory. The east end 'of'

the Car House at Stamford, was blown off, we
learn, and one of' the Churches somewhat
?‘ injured. The steeple of the M. 1-‘.. Church, at
.dhnbury, was also broken off some fifteen or
?~'twenty feet from the top. ,
The large Paint Room of Rock well 1;; look—
wood on Beldcn‘s llill, Wilton, was crushed
in and a large barn belonging to Widow Ruth
Gregory. was also blown down. -
In N‘eiv York, the injury.done to buildings
and to Shipping was immense,but what seems
most wonderful of all, no lives are reported
.lost. . ,
. At Drooklyn, great damage was done. In
. (like lattercity, the end of the four story brick

.School House, in Hicks st., blew down, and
I the building being set on fire was completeiy
_ .‘destroyed. Loss, $20,000. The end of the
, .building tell of 8 o’clock ill the morning. An
i'lhourlatcr- and some 1500 children would have
. lbeeu in attendance and very many lives would
. lirave been last. The steeple of the Reformed

Dutch Church, in llurrison st., was blown

room. A' Church in
1 unroof'ed. The vessels in the rivers dragged
» their anchors and during tho morning no For.
ry Boats between New York and Brooklyn
2 were running, except those of the Fulton Fer"
ry. The bark Princeton (of Fair Haven) was
‘ ‘dri‘ven against the bulk head and greatly
damaged. Two schooners were driven ashore
iatGovernor’s Island.
'. “ At Winstcd, the steeple of the Catholic
’vu'hur’chwas blown down. The steeple of the
V.2dlt_3.ohgregational Church was also prostra-

lltedfifa‘ling upon and crushing in thereof of

. .thc Church. .

The gate seems to have extended over a
vw'mlr: cxlcntfif country. All Philadelphia, a
launcher of houses were blown down and two

THE PIREMBN’S BALL,

Don't forget this. the first entertainment
gotten up by our spirited Engine boys. They
have been too heavy outlay in arranging all
the preliminaries for one of the most brilliant
entertainments of the season. and their liber-
ality and enterprise is certainly worthy of
the countenance and support of our citizens.
The tickets admit one male biped. and as
many "' angels” as he can entertain, (una-
wares or otherwise,) without extra charge.
To those. like ourselves. who finished up

‘ their dancingunder the uplifted birch of the

Village pedagogue, there is to be especial
provision made for their comfort and gratifi-
cation iu being “ lookers on lll Venice.“ and
hearing the “music wilh its voluptuous
swell.” The “ Supper” is an institution lcf't
entirely to fhc charge of Mine 'Ilost ALLIS,
who is a star of the first magnitude in the
“ Supper line.” We've been (liar, and there-
fore may be expected to be around on this
occasion about “ tea time.”

We in e requested to state that on that
evening the entrance from Water street has
been set apart for the Ladies exclusively ;
no gentleman admitted exotpt at the main

Mn. Em'ron :——l’elmif. me through lhc col--
_uuls of your valuable paper to express the
impressions upon a lover of progress, made
by one of" the institutions of. your delightful
borough.

Having been present during a p art of the
recent l‘lxaminatiou in the Norwalk Union
School, I feel thatjusticc demands some rc-—
turn for the pleasure it gave me to note the
perfection to which instruction is cur-vied in
its several departments.

The exercises not only prove the eminent
Qualifications of' the teachers for lllcir several
stations. but to a high degree do they prove
the elevated character of the scholars. The
evidence of studiousnoss is prominent in all ;
and the efforts of the young Clays and Web—
stcrs display no lack of natural talent. The
correct reading and high tone of theoriglnal
gems show that the mantle of highest fame
for female excellence is likely to fall upon
those who will support its lofty character.

he possession of a little pride by the peo-
ple of Norwalk is pardonablc. when the mo-
tive is this instilntion ; and I am not sur-
prised that they present so many saVers of
the “ Uiz.'on.”‘ The alteration of the old

THU'I'II STRANGER 'rlle Fltrrlox.—A few
weeksago,:i milkman named Henry Willinmsa
thick-set, dull-looking individual, smelling of
the barn yard, and looking the cowherd, in
his drecs, was all-ested on a charge of fraudu—
lently obtaining a letter from the Post Office,
and thereby $2l,ll00 from the Bank ofNorwnlk,
Norwalk, Connecticut. Mr. F. -A. Williams,
a leading proprietor- of the Grand and Canal
Street line of omnibuses, inclosed his note
for $3,000. payable at three months to the
Cashier of the Norwalk Dank, requesting the
same to be discounted. The Cashier wrote in
reply that iflhc'llote was made payable in
two mon ”1.“,th Bank would discount the note,
which note was rc-illclosed and sent back to
Mr. Williams.

This letter. being for several days in the
Post Oflicc in this city uncalled for, was ad-
vertised, and ill a day or two a Illull' called
for it,und the same was handed to him without
ny questions. Fol-thwilh the note was altered
to two monthsgivcn into the Lands ol'Adams A's
Co.’s lilxprcss. and again sent to Nol‘wulk.~
The money waspromptly paid to Adams St.
Co’s llllsscllgul‘,\vh0 handed it over to the
pretended owner. The gentleman recuiving
receiving the money Counted out. from the
roll the commission. pocketed lhe remaining
funds-and withdrew. A few days after this
the cashier l‘cCeivcd a. second letter from Mr.
F. A. Williams. inquiring the disposition of
his not“, and what the bank would do about
the discount.

The return mail brought to Mr. Williams a
longer letter than hank cashiers are wont to
write. announcing that the note had already
been discounted, and lhe money forwarded
as above stated. Mr. F. A. Williams conclu-
ded that somebody had been swindled. so he
hastened to lay the case before Mr. Postmas-
ter Fowler, who immediately commissioned
Mr. llolbrook. the Post Ollicc Detective. to
ferret out the matter. Informing himself
hpon all the points ill the case, llolbrooK
followed up the trail, and before two days he
had arrested the milkman, llenry Williams.—
The appearance and profession of the prison-
cr were in his favor, but he was shown to the
clerk who gives out advertised letters, and
was at once recognized as the man to whom
he had given the,advertised letter, addressed
to Mr. I". A. Williams. Being taken to Ad
am’s A: Co’s Express Office. and confronted
with two clcrks,hoth of them at once identi-
fied him. ‘It was thereupon concluded that
enough had been elicited to make sure the
guilt of the accused. So he was taken before
United States Commissioner Belts, and upon
the affidavits of the Fest Oliicc Clerk and the
two clerks ofAdams .51. Co., touching his iden-
tify, was required lo give bail in $5,000 to
answer a charge of robbing the New York
Post Office. Mr. Williams gave the required
hail. , ' '

As soon as he had given bull to answer the
above charge,he was rearrusted to answu-
the charge of forgery, and was taken before
Justice Connolly, at the Toombs. llel'e sim
ilar affidavits in support of the charge were
submitted, as in the examination before the
United Stat esCommissioner. The same result
followed the examination, Mr. Williams be-
ing require to give further bail in the sum of
$5,000. The last required bail he was ll.l‘lll-
nate enoUgh to obtain, and was released ac-
costlingly till the day appointed for trial.

From the moment of his arrest he had pro-
tested his entire innocence of the grave charge
preferred against him His friends at first

' believed hinrinuocent, but after hearing.r the

positive assertions us to his identity. the faith
of many began to waver. In addition to his
identification, two experts in detecting simi-
larities ill handwriting had declared his. hand-
writiug and that of the notes sent to the cash-
ier of the Norwalk Bank, to be ill the same
hand. The family of the accused, as may be
expected, Were ill the deepest distress.

Two days ago a new development was made
in the case. A second Williams was arrested
by ()flicel' McDongul of the Dcttctivc Police.
it came out that the latter Williams had risen
suddenly from poverty to apparent atlluence,
driving his fast team on the Bloomingdale
road. Snspeeting something wrong. McDon-
gal became familiar with the second Williams,
drunk wine with him. told stories, and rode
with him in his dmhing buggy. ~ Williams

mcllt :

“ We regret to‘havc this week to record the
elopemeutof the wife 0t Mr. Smith Banner
man, a. gentleman of large property, living
at Hunton, near Maidstone, wilh the Rev. A.
W. Greene, curate to the Rev. Canon Moore,
atllunton. lt Seems that the painful fact
was discovered by Mr. Bannermau on his re-
turn homc from a day’s hunting, and there
can be no doubt that the eIOpement had been
planned many weeks'bcfore, and only put off
fora favorable opportunity. The guilty cou-
ple were traced to Grave-send, but. they had
got four hours start of ,thcir pursuers, and
Mr. Bunnermau only learned that they had
crossed the water in a boat that had been off
(iravcsend for some weeks. It is'stated that
”they had been seen with a brace of loaded
pistols,us if determined on extremities ill case
they had been overtaken. The affair has no.
casioned themost painful feeling hunting all
classes of the community ill the neighborhood
where it occured. The curate, Mr. (.lreeu.
had always been looked upon with respect for
the faithful discharge of his clerical duties,
and Canonflfoore, the rector of llunlou. had
a particular regard for him. The lady has
property in her own right amounting to£l00,-
000. ‘

ltappears that before her marriage to Mr.
lunnermuu, Mr. Green wished to make her his
wife. but the father refused. and eventually

gives the

,induced her to marry Mr. llauncrmun, who is

a rich Dutch merchant. In alluding to M rs.
Gllrney’s clopcmenf. willl hcr footnlan, The
Observer states that the lady left her hus-
band a note, in which she consigns to his care
her two children, and regrets that her passion
for her par-amour compels her to follow the
bent of her inclination- The husband has al-
ready adopted measures to’oblain a divorce.
Under fhc new not a portion of this lady’s
property can be settled by the Court on her
children. '

In the whole history of Medical Discoveries xo REME-
DY has performed so many or such remarkable cures of
Ithe numerous afflictions ofthe throat, lungs and chest
-of coughs, colds, bronchitis, influenza, whooping
cough, croup, asthma—or of consumption itself, as
this far-famed, long tried and justly celebrated Balsam.
At tnis season of the year few esnapc the influence of
sums of the above complaints : all therefore should be
provided with the remedy par excellence. ,

The following letterjust received from a gentleman

that the public should know the claims which your in
valuable properntiou of" Wistar’s Balsam have to their
attention.

About a year since I was attacked with a severe and
distressing cough followed by emaciatiou, night sweats
and other symptoms ol‘approucbillg disease.

[tried many remedies to no avail, and so alarming
dill my case appear that my friends entertained seri-
uus fears for my recovery. '

At this juncture l purchased a. bottle of' ll’isfar‘x Bal-
sum and at once began to mend and by the time two

 

 

bottles llllll been exuausted 1 had entirely regained my ‘

health and strength. I shall ulw '5 keep it in my turn-

A Word About Oils.

Y reference to a note from the Carbon

Oil Company, it will be seen that other
persons are selling Oils purporting to be
Carbon Oil. thereby injuring me in selling
_tlic genuine article; for the Oils are alto-
gether inferior, and different in appearance,
in odour, and in flame. Any personhaving
used the Carbon Oil, cannot mistake it for
other Oil. .The- price of the Carbon. Oil is
$1.25 per Gallon ; Boston & Portland Kero-
