The Public Greeting to the Re-
enlisted Veterans.

In accordance with the call issued in our
last, a meeting was held on Tuesday evening,
and arrangements made for a public recep-
tion of our re-enlisted Veterans, to be given
on Friday evening next. Our citizens have
responded liberally to the call for funds to
defray the expense, and it has been deter-
mined to have a public reception at Lock-
wood’s Hall, at 7 O’clock, P. M., with a few
short speeches, interspersed with music, to
be followed by a supper at. Norwalk Hall, at
9 1-2 o’clock. Invitations have been cxtend~
ed to the Governor, Lieut. Governor and
other gentlemen to attend and give ad-
dresses. ‘ .

It is unnecessary to call on our citizens to
fill the Hall at the reception. The interest
already manifested is a sufiicient assurance
that there is no lack of desire on the part of
those who have pursued the arts of peace at
home to testify their appreciation of the he-
roic devotion of our brave Veterans in the
camps and on the battle-fields of our
country.

Tickets of admission to the supper will
not be sold, but will be given out to subscrib-
ers to the fund, in the manner and under the
restrictions prescribed by the Committee of
Arrangements.

We are’ requested to give the following
notice to the re-enlistcd soldiers:

The rc-enlisted Veteran Volunteers who
were credited to the quota of Norwalk at
the time of their original enlistment, now
home on furlough, are requested to register
their names at the ofilce of Andrew Selleck,
as soon as possible, that ladies’ tickets may
be made out for them for the supper at Nor-
walk Hall, on Friday evening next.

The re-enlisted Veterans are requested to
meet at the Armory of the Norwalk Guards,
Phenix Block, at 6 1-2 o’clock.

m” We have hitherto devoted our best
endeavors for all the various projects of
public improvement which have, from time
to time, been inaugurated for the prosperity
of our town and people. We have ever
been keenly alive to every and all measures
calculated to add to the rare and wonderful
natural attractions of Norwalk; yet in no
instance have we presented a public measure
so fraught with utility and comfort, blessing
and beauty, as this subject which now chal-
lenges the reader‘s attention. Gas we have,
a street railway, also, and various other me-
tripolitan “ modern conveniences,” yet in the
matter of water—pure, cold water—which
the good Lord has made as free and plenti-
ful as the air we breathe, we are here, in
,Norwalk, sadly deficient: Indeed, so desti-
tute are we of this every where plentiful e1-
ement, that every citizen who insures his
dwelling pays annually an onerous tax be-
cause of our deficient means of making it
available in the event of fire.

Citizens of Norwalk—you who love the
time-honored home of your nativity—imag-
ine for one moment the immense significance
of the introduction of water into all your
grounds, your dwellings and workshops i-
In the mere matter of ornament—for foun-
tains in parks and grounds—it would be
worth all it can possibly cost; but when we

Paper Company," and its management.

 

 

consider its value as a means of arresting

fire, its use for the domestic purposes of the
household, its convenience at the stable and .
barn, and its worth in the mechanical oper~ ,
ations of the workshop, the magnitude of
the measure rises far beyond any present,
computation. For the glory of Norwalk}
and the advantage of its citizens, may we 5
not predict its early consummation? ,

The Winslow Will Case.

This important case which has been on
trial before the Superior Court, at Bridge-
port, for some time past, and which has ex-
cited great public interest, has at length been
terminated by a settlement. It is generally
known that Mr. Winslow died at Westport,
about three years since, leaving a widow—
the present Mrs. Winslow—surviving him.
He also left three daughters, by a former
wife who obtained a divorce from him in
New York, on the ground of his adulteries,
some seven or eight years before his deceasc.
Within a few months after the divorce he
married Mary Fitch, of Norwich, by whom
he had no children. To her, by his will, he
gave his entire estate, without limitation,
after making some provision for other rela-
tions, and giving trifling legacies to his
daughters. The daughters were born and
have always lived in New York. Believing
that their father, who, it seems, was tender-
ly attached to them, had not thus cut them
off while in his right mind, and without the
exercise of undue influence on the part of
his last wife and her friends, the daughters
took an appeal from the order of the Court
of Probate for the District of Westport, ad-
mitting the will to Probate, to the Superior
Court; and it is the trial of this appeal
which has just been brought to a close.

The preparation on both sides was im-
mense, and probably no case has ever been
tried in this State which has occupied so
much time and involved so large an amount,
or which has excited such wide-spread and
universal interest. The trial had already
lasted six weeks, and would probably have
consumed at least another week, had not the
case been finally settled. What are the
terms of the settlement we are not exactly
informed, but understand that the daughters
receive enough to make them all independ-
ent, while a fortune every way ample is left
to the widow.

The counsel for the children were, Messrs-
Chapman, Carter, Beardsley and Wilson, of
this ,State, and Messrs. Noyes and Corbett,
New York. For Mrs. Winslow, Messrs.
Hawley, Loomis, Perkins, Seymour and
Waite, of this State, and L. Chapman, of
New York.

The Ball.

“As we predicted, so it happened,” as the
New York Herald so often says. We do not
remember ever to have seen a more select,
refined and pleasant company assembled at
a ball in this town, than that which graced
the one given by the Norwalk Guards, at
Lockwood’s Hall, last week. The attend.
ance was quite large, and everything passed
off very pleasantly. The band was compos-
ed of eight musicians, selected by Mr. Geo.
W. Allen, who has been leader in Brookcs’
Dancing Academy, in New York, for many
years, and gays excellent satisfaction, and
was pronounced fully equal to “Wallace’s
Band,” which has so often been engaged
here. Many military men from other places
were present, and ladies and gentlemen from
Stamford, and other towns in this vicinity.

Balls of this character are seldom pecu-
niarily successful; but we are glad to learn
that, in this instance, the managers—to
whom much credit is due for the success of
the affair—not only cleared themselves, but
will be able to pay something into the trea-
sury of the Company. The supper was
furnished by “ Foster,” at the Company Ar-
mory. May the next ball of “ 00. G.” be as
pleasant as the last.

Lamas Arranrrou.—One oi the Town’s
Heroes, a Veteran Volunteer, writing from
So. Norwalk, wants to know “Why the
young ladies are so much afraid of Sol-
diers ? Are they ashamed of a blue uniform,
or are they all Copperheads ? What young
lady will answer on behalf of herself and
halts-dozen other young Ladies, making in
all a Baker’s half-dozen?”

Our Veteran friend seems to have been
peculiarly unfortunate in the manner of his
receptiOn by the fair sex, and we are at a
loss to account for the treatment he intimates
he has received at their hands, knowing as
we do, the devotion which ladies always
show for “blue coats and brass buttons,” es-
pecially when they are adorned with a live
hero. We think “Veteran” laboring under
a “strange hallucination” in supposing that
the girls are afraid of soldiers, and to settle
the question, suggest that he try the experi .
ment of “shining up” to some beautiful “An-
gel without wings” and tenderly inviting her
to call upon some minister, and then to help
him spend his bounty money, &c., and if she
does not accept the invitation and repeat the
wonderful words "Love, Hon or and—obey”
we will own up mistaken; but if she does
the printer will expect a piece of cake with an
extra raisin in. '

The War Fever in Europe.

The Prussian Minister of War has address-
ed a letter to a company in Hallo, inquiring
into the expediency of collecting warm cloth-
ing for the army. He says that a portion of
the army and navy will probably be required
soon to enter upon a bloody winter campaign
Prussia being on the threshold of important
decisions, likely to influence the whole polit-
ical future of the country.

Insurrection is brewing Hungary. Kos-
suth is among his old friends and has issued
an address, assuming quasi dictatorial powers
and urging the people to prepare for action.
Austria attempts to meet the emergency by
the concentration of troops on the frontier.
TheMa are are enthusiastic and determined.

Italy is impatient _for the complete estab-
lishment of her nationality. The King ex-
pressed the hope on New Year’s day that
the country would accomplish in 1864,
what it had failed to accomplish in 1808. .

Sweden and Norway seem stron ly inclin-
ed to make common cause with. enmark,
on the Schleswig Holstein question. At a
large meeting held in Christiana the last
week in December, the principal men of the
town expressed earnest sympathy for Den.
mark. Afterward the assembkv. unanimous-
ly voted an address to the rug, insisting
that in fightin for Schleswig, Denmark is
fightin for all candinavia, and deserves the
aid of weden and Norway. The University
of Upssl has also published an address taking
the same ground. They say that tolook on
passively while the struggle is going forward,
would cover all Scandinavia with disgrace.
In face ofimpending troubles Sweden is not
idle. Great activity mdes military circles
and a strong force w ll be ready for service in
the spring. The minor German States show
no abatement of determination. Secret Rev-
olutlonary societies are intensely busy and

CONNECTI—CU-T’S QUOTA.
STATE OF CONNECTICUT,

Orsrcn on THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIRF, (
Hartford, Feb. 3, 1864. l

The call for three hundred thousand ‘
(300,000) volunteer-:2 by the President, on the
17th of October last, is, by his Proclamation

thousand (500,000); and the quota assigned
to the several towus in this state will be
increased in the same proportion.

The quota for Connecticut is estimated at
this Ofilcc to be nine thousand and fifty-three
(9,053), from which will be deducted four
thousand four hundred and seventy-seven
(4,477) who have enlisted within the state,
as well as all re-enlistments of veterans in
the field, which, from partial returns receiv-
ed, will probably number twenty-six hun-
dred and fifty (2,659), leaving a deficiency of
nineteen hundred and twenty-six (1,928) to
be supplied before the 1st of March.

Any deficiency which may exist on the
10th of that month will be made up by a
draft from those towns which shall not then
have furnished their quota.

The necessity of giving a vigorous support
to the National Government, and the import-
ance of an early and successful military
campaign against the public enemies, are
strong appeals to our patriotism, and should
stimulate us to make every efi‘ort and sacri-
fice which may be necessary to meet this
call without a draft.

The New State Loan.
' The bids for the new State loan of $2,-
000,000 six per cent. State bonds, payable
Jan. 1, 1884, were opened at noon on Satur-
day week. The state of the market is just
now unfavorable for high premiums, and so
the bonds sold much lower than those of last
year. There were bids for $4,008,800, at
prices from par to 5 1-4 per cent. premium,
at which latter rate Geo. C. Treadwell &
Co., of Albany, offered to take a few. Gov.
Buckingham bid $102 15-100 for $10,000,
and $101 35-100 for $10,000. Ketchum &
Sons, of New York, bid $101 for the whole
cr none, and, as their bid averaged the high-
est, they will take the lot and will make the
money on it.

Rncnurrs—A recent circular from the
Provost Marshal General, says the Journal,
gives notice that the premiums of $25 for
veterans, and $15 for raw recruits, will be
hereafter paid to any non-commissioned
officer, private or citizen who presents an
accepted recruit. This throws open the door
and offer inducements for everybody to go
to work recruiting. In addition to the Gov-
ernment premiums, remember that the State
pays apremium of $10 for every accepted
recruit,making the premiums,$35 for veterans
and $25 for raw recruits. It is a good op-
portunity for the veterans now at home on
furlough to fill up their regiments.

it. The church was filled to overflowing.

WThc Lewistown suspension bridge
across the Niagara River was blown away
by a severe gale of wind on Monday. This
bridge was 1,045 feet in length and was sus-
pended by ten massive cables which passed
over stone towers, and were fastened to an-
chors imbedded in the solid rock. It was
considered a finished specimen of workman-
ship, and its perfect safety was never called
in question. Its location, however, exposed
it to the full sweep of the wind. '

Obituary of Darius Mead, 31.11.,
of Greenwich.

This venerable physician, who has had

a large practice and a high reputation

in Fairfield county for more than fifty ‘
years, and who represented the Twelfth
District in the Senate of Connecticut, in

the years 1845 and 1846, died at his
home in Greenwich on the 28th of Jan—
uary. His funeral was attended on the
first of February, by a large and most
reapectable congregation, notwithstand-
ing the easterly storm prevailing. Sev—
eral physicians of the county were pres—
ent to testify their respect for their
brother, among whom we noticed the
venerable Dr. Noyes, of New Canaan,
who traveled so far through rain and
mud to do honor to his classmate. The
sermon was preached by Rev. S. B. S.
Bissell, of Norwalk.

Darius Mead was born in Greenwich,
July 9, 1787. He was fitted for college
by Rev. Isaac Lewis, D. D., his pastor,
whom he always greatly revered. He
entered Yale in 1803,, and was graduat-
ed in 1807; studied medicine in Phila-
delphia, and received his diploma in
1809, in which year he was married to
Lydia K., daughter of Elisha Belcher,
M. D., of Round Hill, in Greenwich.
She died sixteen years before him—J an.
15, 1848. In 1810 be commenced the
practice of his honorable profession in
his native town, where he has since dwelt
and died, ” among his owu people.” .

Dr. Mead was a man of sound, dis-
criminating, practical judgment, appreci-
ating highly the true and genuine, but
rejecting with contempt all sham, all
insincerity, equivocation, ostentation. He
possessed a sensitive nature and aquick
and accurate taste- In his home be was
systematic and energetic in discipline,
but affectionate, sympathizing and self-
sacrificing for his family, making his
house the center of attraction and hospi-
tality. In social and public life be was
a man of unbending integrity and up-
rightness, ever ready to do what he could
for the public welfare, always decided in
his convictions, and earnest in the Cause
of good order and good morals. He
was a physician of the old school, of
large practice, industrious, attentive,
faithful, sympathizing with his patients,
considerate of the poor, giving them free-
ly no small portion of his time, and deal-
ing out medicines to them with a liberal
hand. As a citizen, he was loyal and
patriotic, taking great interest in the ef-
forts Of the government to vindicate the
majesty of the Constitution and Union
against unrigbteous rebellion, solicitons
for the honor of his country, and for her
emancipation from the blighting curse of
slavery, and for the extension and per
petuation of liberty.

Dr. Mead united with the 2d Congre—
gational Church, in Greenwich, in 1819.
As a Christian, he was a diligent reader
of the Bible, sacredly observing the Sab-
bath and family and public worship, strict
in the religious training of‘ his children
it! the principles and doctrines of God’s
Word, as set forth in the Shorter Cate—
chism—with what success may be seen in
the fact that all are prosperous, and re.-
spected as members of society and of the
Household of Faith. It was related of
him at his funeral, by his venerable pas-
tor, Dr. Liusley, that he was most punc-
tual in his attendance on the sanctuary,
rising early and riding late, often, on the
Sabbath, that he might redeem for him-
self the holy hours of public prayer and
praise. He was zealous for the honor of
God, the peace and prosperity of the
Church, the maintenance of her ministry
and ordinances, and the order and beauty
of her house, and for the extension of
the Kingdom of Christ. Active to the
last among his patientfi he was suddenly
stricken down on the 3d of December,
lingering for eight weeks, and then dying
without a groan, aged '16 years, 6 months
and 19 years. He wasa worthy suc-
cessor of that primitive Christian and
Evangelist, who was known as ” The
Beloved Physician.”

WAR NEWS.

Some excitement was- caused on Fri- 1

day afternoon bv a dispatch that the
Rebels had attacked Newbern, N. 0.,
got pomession of the railroad to Moor-
head City, and had of course placed the
Union troops in both places in a preca-
rious po~ition. NO particulars were given.
An hour or two afterward, Gen. Butler
telegraphed to the War Department that
all was right, the enemy had retired on
Kingston, and that N cwbern was relieved
—aud so were the public.

By the Flambean of the blockading
squadron, from Charleston Feb. 1, we
learn that the slow bombardment goes
on, but Charleston does not show many
marks of injury. The Rebels have moun-
ted four or five guns in the ruins of Fort
Sumter. the effort to raise the Weehaw-
ken will probably proves failure. Noth-
ing is being done by the iron clads save
blockade picket duty .

Gen. Kelley telegraphed'that he has
just received (Feb. 5.) a dispatch from
Col. Mulligan, who says that after six
hours fighting he has driven the Rebels
under Early out of Moorfield, and his
(Mulligen’s) cavalry were pursuing and
had hotly engaged the Rebel cavaly un-
der Rosser at the date of the dispatch
(which date is omitted, but was probably
the 4th.) -

Particulars of the attack of the rebels
upon Newbern, N. 0., on the 2d instant,
show that it was quite as serious as was
represented by the first dispathes, al-
though the ultimate result was satisfacto-
ry to the Union arms, and saved New-
born from being occu ied by the enemy.
It appears that ,the ebels advanced on
the lat instant upon our outposts at
Bachelors Creek, eight miles from New-
bern, and captured them after a severe
fight. A force of our cavalry was also
repulsed in sight of Fort Totten. The
enemy pressed closely upon our lin.s, and
actually came within bailing distance of
the city. Recent dispatches received by
Gen. Butler, nowever informed us that
the enemy was driven back to Kingston
by Gen. Palmer, on the 2d inst, and
that Newborn was relieved. On that
evening the Rebels had possession of
Newport, and cut ofi‘ the connection be-
tween Newbero and Beaufort.

By last accounts from Chattanooga we
learn that Gen. Johnston, with nearly
his whole force, had fallen back as far as
Rome, Ga, leaving only a portion of his
"mm at Dalton. It was thought that
Johnston either retired to that point to
obtain supplies, or to prevent desertions,
as betwaen eight and nine thousand Reb-
els had come into the Union lines since
the battle of Missionary Ridge. No anx-
iety for the safety of our troops at Knox.
ville is entertained at Chattanooga. The
line of couriers between the two points is
uninterrupted.

fi-We understand that Major R. W.
Norton, of the 2d Company Governor’s
Foot Guards, has received his discharge
from Gov. Buckingham. In 1841, Major
Norton, then Captain of the “Down Town
Militia,” which Office he held for some five
or six vears, with some six or eight mem-
bers of that Company, on ascertaining
that the Guards, their numbering not
more than ten or twelve members, wished
to adopt the old style of uniform, viz:
short breeches, red coats and powdered
hair, united with them and made choice,
for Major, of Benjamin Prescott, ex Cap-
tain of the New Haven Grays, and Cap-
tain R. W. Norton for Orderly Sergeant.
At the expiration of two years, he was
elected 2d Lieutenant, which he also held
for two years, when he was elected Major
holding the ofiice for some five years.—
He then removed to Norwalk, Conn. and
was connected with the State Militia
about six years, Returning to New

 

Haven, the Guards again honored him _

by appointing him Major, which office he
has held until discharged by his Ex-
cellency

Major Norton retires from his old and
venerable organization with the good will
and wishes of every member of the Com-
pany; and may his future, as his past life
has been, be as cheerful and happy as
those years in which he has been connect-
ed with this Company.—N. H. Couranl.

Air EXPLANATION -—In addressing, a
jury upon one occasion, the celebrated
Mr. Jeffrey found it necessary to make
very free with the character of a military
officer, who was present during the
whole harangue. Upon hearing himself
several times spoken of as " the soldier,”
the son of Mars, boiling with indignation,
interrupted the pleader——“Don’t call me
soldier, sir, I am an oflicer.” Mr. Jef-
frey immediately went ou—-—\“Well, gen-
tlemen, this officer, ‘ who is no- soldier,’
was the sole cause of all the mischief that
has occurred.”

AN Inrosrsa —A fellow has been tun-
ing pianos about Winsted the past week,
who called himself Louis M Shurz, and
who pretended to be from Chickering’s
establishment. 'So far as we learn, be
tuned his instruments poorly; be swindled
several persons by getting pay in advance
for repairs which he never finished, and
wound up his career by cheating neighbor
Austin, (of Austin’s Hotel) out of his
board bill. And his career here was
only a repetition of his similar swindles in
Bridgeport. Puss him round.

We wish we could persuade our readers
to have nothing to do with these home-
less, squalid, thieving nuisances who go
about from door to door Offering their
services for odd jobs, peddling ill-gotten
wires, and contririog in all sorts of ways,
except honest ones, to eke out a living.
The resident merchant, jeweler,shoemaker
doc. &c., who pays his taxes, helps sup-
port society, and lives and behaves re-

 

spectably, has certainly a fair claim upon ‘

the patronage of his community; and that
community should so recognize and re-
gard it.— Winsted- Herald.

fi‘l‘he Burlington FreePress says'that

said by Job Of the Leviathan; “ His
scales are his pride.” This was told to
ex Judge W——, a great wit, as every-
body knows, and he suggested a Latin
motto : “ Monstravl clam” it shows the
weigh.

@The Richmond Wlu'g of J an. 28th
says: “Gen. Lee exhorts his soldiers to
endure patiently the hardships occasion-
ed by the reduction of rations, which he
hopes will only be ‘temporary.’ The
general order containing this exhortation
is dated January 22, 1864—six days ago.
As Gen. Lee never speaks until it is nec-
essary, we may be sure that his-soldiers
have suffered, or are likely to suffer, un-
less people and government do their duty.
We put the people before the government
because that is the position which they
have always been called upon to take in
times of emergency, and which they must
take now. The truth is this, if there is
meat and bread enough in the country to
feed the armythey must have it.’

The Whig closes by saying, ‘can’t the
people live on half rations, so that the
soldiers may at least have quarter rations?’

Housekeepers Attention,

‘NZ E, the undersigned use the Putnam

Self Adjusting Clothes Wrapper in our
families, and consider it far WWW to any
other Wringer made. If we could notget
others we would not let them go for four
times their cost; in fact we consider them
invaluable, and advise every family to get
one, as they are economical, as well as use-
ful. They enable the washing to be done in
one-third less time, and save their cost by
saving clothes about twice in every year.
The frame being of iron thoroughly galvan-
ized, all danger from rust is removed, and
the liability to shrink, swell, split, &.c. the,
so unavoidable in wooden Machines is pre-
vented. The Spiral 'ngs over the rolls
render this machine Self Adjusting so that
small or large articles as well as arti-
cles uneven in thickness are certain
to receive uniform pressure. The pa-
tent fastening by which the machine is
tightened to the tub, we believe to be supe-
rior in simplicity and eficicncy to anything
yet Offered. It will wring thorougl ‘9"
thing from a single thread to a bed on with-
out any alteration whatever“ No thumb
screws or complicated fastenings to wear
out or get out of order : it can be fastened
firmly to the tub in a single second.
