National Growth.
The development of the United States is
the marvel of modern history. The enor-
mous war, which has just closed, scarcely
checked the progress of population “‘1 mu-
nicipal organization beyond the Mississippi.
The Rocky Mountain range, that great back-
bone of the continent is fast opening up its
wealth of mineral, agricultural, and manu-
facturing capacity, clearly evinclng that in
the next generation its people are to hold
no mean place among the arbiters of Ameri-
un destiny. The great mountain country
from the British Possessions to Mexico, will
Infallibly become the home of a hardy, in-
dustrious, enterprising, and liberty-loving
people; a New England of the Trans-Mis-
sissippi regiou. Even now whenever the
settlers make a village the school-house
stands at even pace with the rest, and the
house of worship points its spire heaven.
‘ ward. 'Denver City is more like an old
New England town than many places in the
older States. The tide of immigration this
year is better than ordinary. The Irish are
not so superstitious, the'Germans not so li-
centious in belief, and both are of classes
that will more readily amalgamate with
American society than their predecessors.
The South is open to industry from all
lands, though thousands of its stupid inhab-
itants stand scowling at the strangers, who
are bringing new life to the exhausted land.
Nothing, apparently, can stop the materi-
al advance of this nation but its own mad-
ness. It does not seem as yet to have learn-
ed the sowicg of injustice among the found-
ations will 'cause the superstructure to be
rent‘and torn, and may be overturned, but
it will have its pet oppression, its darling
iniquity, if only as a reminder of the good
old times when the abomination of desola-
tion ruled unchecked in the high placesof
the land. To all this we are fain to submit
quietly, now and then protesting, here and
there raising a warning voice, but reflecting
that if apeople torn and peeled by Divine
judgement, as ours has been for the last
our years, has not yet got its eyes opened
to the greater profitableness of righteous-
ness for a nation, nothing of ours could en-
lighten it, or revert the penalty which is
sure to come.

Tm: Warrants—From all parts of the
country the telegraph announces that Sun-
day was the coldest day of the season—the
thermometer ranging from ten degrees
downward.
The present cold snap is the most severe
known for many years. Sunday night, we
think, was the coldest in our experience.—,
The mercury in thermometers indicated
from fourteen degrees downward. At noon,
Monday, the mercury continued below zero
with the sun shining bright. At the present
writing there has been no change for the bet-

School Visitors is published on our outside

we remember ever to have seen, and we
commend it to the earnest attention of the
citizens of Norwalk. In writing the report.
the author has evidently tried to do his duty
without fear or favor.
Two fine poems, and an excellent original
article on Macaulay, the English historian,
will also be found on t‘o-dsvs outside.

Seaman: Asians—Now, while the side-
walks in and about the village are so cover-
ed with ice as to make them very precarious
footing for the young and dangerous for the
old people, would it not be wise'for our
citizens to follow the example of Charles
Sherry, Esq., who, good samaritan like, a
few mornings since had the sidewalk the
whole length of his place, sprinkled with
ashes. We know multitudes who daily
traverse Main Street, inwardly thanked him
for it. '

was brought into our oflice last week by Mr.
David Comstock, of this town, and was rais-
ed on his from last summer. It has thirty-
four seperate and distinct heads, all perfect,
combined in one large cabbage—one head
for each State in the Union. Perhaps our
Stamford friend would like some of our cab-
bage to eat with his pork.

DEAR" GAZETTE :—.-:.Why did you not think,
when writing the article on the needs for
1866, (in your last issue) to call attention to
a public improvement and convenience very
much needed .by the whole community—a
Carriage Bridge at South Norwalk. The
old Railroad Bridge is in danger of being
carried away by the ice when it breaks up in
the Spring, if not sooner broke down by the
cars in passing over it. Let us have a Bridge
independent of the Railroad. What say
you Messrs. Editors? DOWN TOWN.

great public convenience, and as such We
advocated its construction years ago. Let

Mnssns. Enrrons.—In the, Report of Au-

paper last week, they state, "Ibo amount ea:-
pended in repairingiHighways for the current
year is $44,137.50, being $1,717.91 more than
was expended the previous year.” As the
Town did not appropriate in all as much as
they say was expended, the Report cannot,
I think, be correct. The actual figures are
as follows :
Regular appropriation for 1865 $2 500
Special “ u ’ 1:500
In all, 34,000
Expended as my orders on Select-

Guitar Rosanna—The iron express our
belonging to- the Adams Express Company,
on the night Express train from New York
to Boston, which passes through this place
about ten o’clock, was broken into on Satur-
day night and robbed of half-a-million Of
dollars. The car has but two doors, one on
each side, which were carefully locked before
leaving New York, and the car is never open-
ed until reaching Hartford. At New Haven
the conductor discovered that the car had
been opened, when an examination took
place. It was found that the door on the
right hand side had been broken open with
an iron bar, and that two safes belonging to
Adams Express 00. had been forced, and
about $500,000 stolen therefrom. A pack-
age containing $80,000 in greenbacks, and
another containing $50,000 in 5-20’s were
found on the car floor. Another safe be-
longing to the Harnden Express Co. was not
touched. It is thought the car must have
been entered before leaving New York.

Tim Warm Prisms RAILROAD—There
's some excitement in Danbury, says the
Hartford Iii-ass, because the survey for the
White Plains or~ New York and Northern
Housatonic railroad through that town lays
the line through the pleasantestpart of the
village. The fine residences of Eli T. Hoyt,
Wm. Jabine, Mrs A. E. Tweedy, and Mrs.
Ann Wildman, are on the line and will be
spoiled if the road is to run where surveyed.
The railroad commissioners were called to
view the route Thursday. but owing to some
informality in the notice took no action.
The proposed road is to run from White
Plains on the Harlem road, northeast
through a corner of Greenwich, then through
Bedford and Lewisboro. N. Y., striking the
state line at Salem, and passing through Dan-
bury connecting with the Housatonic road
at a point a short distance below Brookfield.
The section between Danbury andBrookfield,
about six miles, is already under contract,
and work upon it has been commenced.
The contract calls for the completion of this.
section. by July lst, 1866.

An Editor’s Qualification.
The following is a very respectable epi-
tome of the necessary qualifications to be a
local editor:
It is easy enough to be a local editor, if ‘
you think so, but some special qualifications
are necessary to success. 'FOI' the enlighten-
ment of young men who have an itching
that way, we will enumerate some of the in-
dispensible virtues, without which success is
impossible. A good local must combine the
loquacity of a magpie with the impudence
of the D—1. He must bea walking encyclo-
pedia of useful knowledge. He must know
how to time a race-horse, gaff a cock, teach a
Sunday school, preach a charitable sermon,
run a sawmill; keep a hotel, turn a double
somersault, and brew a whiskey punch. He
must be up to a thing or two in political
economy, aufat‘l in the matter of cooking
beans. 0n the trail of mysterious items he
must be a veritable sleuth-hound. His hide
must be like that of a rhinoceros. He must
_be insensible to the crulest snubs, and mani-
fest 'no sense of anger when he is kicked
down stairs. He must throw modesty to the
dogs, and let his tiger bowl 1
But above all, he must be an adept at the
art of puffing. The nearer he approaches to
the condition of a blacksmith’s bellows, the
better he will succeed. He must be ready at
all times to say something funny in regard to
Smith’s grocery, or to surround Miss Floun-
ce’s millinery establishment with a halo of
glowing adjectives. He must be entliusiss.
tie on the subject of hams, verbose in ex-
tolling hardware, and highly imaginativo in
the matter of dry goods. He must look
pleased when invited to walk sixteen squares
in a broiling sun, to write a sixoline pufl for
a labor-saving churn or a patent washing
machine. To feel grateful when invited to
dine at the Dogsnose Hotel, and pen aglow~
ing account of the excellence of the bash and
the durability of the beefsteak. If he feels
any sense of humimiliatlon in sitting down
to a festival gathering on the occasion of the
presentation of a sword to Captain Sanko-
poncy, or a set of silver service to a horse in-
spector, he must smother it, and revenge
himself on the champagne and cigars. He
must aflect to believe that he is invited in a
purely social way, and not for the sake of
having him write a good account of the care.
monies, with three columns of speeches in
full. for the next morning’s paper.
If he flags in his description of Hodg’s pre-
mium bull, or “lets down” in writing up the
oil indications on Shoveldyke’a farm, he
must take it kindly when he is reproved for
his shortcomings. In the matter of shows,
the local must be always brilliant. He must
talk learnedly of panoramas, with a liberal
admixture of knowing words, such as
“warmth," “tone” “foreshortening,” “high-
lights,” “foreground," “perspective," &c.-—
He must be heavy on concerts, with a capac-
ity to appreciate Miss Squawk’s execution
of difficult feats in the “upper register,” he
must be ecstatic in praise of double-headed
calves, and eloquent in behalf of fat women
and living skeletons. All this and more it
takes to be a local. Sawing wood is equal-
ly as honorable, more independent and en-

LITERARY.—The first number of Ticknor
& Field’s new weekly, “Every Saturday”

form, has an engraved title page, and con-
tains 28 pages of reading matter in double
columns. It is printed on good paper, in
the best Boston style. The contents se-
lected from the best of the current foreign
literature, is as follows: “On precious
Stones," from Once a Week; “The Spectral
Route," from the Shilling Magazine; Tu p-
perides, from the Spectator; “Who was
Frederick Robertson," from the Christian
World; “More of our Dogs," by Dr. John
Brown; “Our Brown Passenger," by Henry
Kingsley, from Once a Week ; “An Apology
for the Nerves,” and Sand Martins, a poem by
Jean Ingelow, from the Argosy. Every Sat-
urday, is destined to become very popular
especially for travellers. Price 10 cents, or
$5.00 per annum. We will club it with the

UNIVERSAL PATH-FINDER.-—Rev. M. N.
Olmstead, Of the Methodist Church, at one
time preaching in Norwalk, we believe, has
issued a little book with the above title,"
containing a wonderful amount of informa-
tion, on a great many subjects. It is just.
the right size for the pocket, and as a diary
and book of reference, will be found of dal-
ly use. Mr. Selleck has taken the agency
for the Book. Call and examine it.
Q'The present season is prolific with
new enterprises in the newapaper and mag-
azine line. It is now rumored that a rival
to the Atlantic is to be started in New York
with Hard & HOughton as publishers, and
Bayard Taylor as editor. Doubt if such a
work can be well sustained outside the “hub.”
Several rivals of “Every Saturday,” are also
about starting in New York.

somewhat surprised his solicitous friends by
yielding to them and signing a temperance
pledge. But, to their horror, they saw no
change in his ways, and reproved and re-
monstrated as in duty bound. He defended

The friends of the Institution will be pleas-
ed to learn, that the children who have been
provided with a home there, began the New
Year with joyous hearts. Now the evening
hours are especially to be mentioned, for in
these only, was the reporter an eye witness.
'At an early hour, the children and it few
of their friends, were assembled in the school-
room to participate in the entertainments
and pleasures of the evening. For these,
they thank the Superindent and his wife,
whose ofiice it is to look after their bodily
Welfare; and the teacher, whose office it is
to develop and train their'niental faculties.
Nor, in their thanks will they forget those
other kind; friends WhOse generous gifts they
now enjoy.
The children welcomed their friends, and
. saluted each other With'a Happy New Year
Song. Afterwards the Exercises were more
formally opened with prayers, and then fol-
lowed a short addrt as; and then other songs
with the voice of melody, and making mel-
ody in the heart. .
But the central object of attraction and ‘de-
light for those young eyes, was the Christ-
mas Tree whose fruits had grown a little ii-
per by the fact, that they had not yet been
gathered. But whoever saw two Christmas
Trees bear the same kind of fruit? If we
were to, plant such a tree, we would not dare
to predict what. might be grafted on it, or
what it might bring forth.
The tree, at “The Home,"-roofed down-
ward, had a very good crop of stockings, and
looking upward had a good yield of hats.
Although growing in the North, it abounded
with tropical fruits. And, as if not content
with .its own bearing, it employed a table
near at hand, to do part of the work.
At the proper time the Children and their .
friends were invited to the supper-room.
The walls were gracefully honored with the
loved flag of our Country, and festooned
with the symbols of an ever living age.
The tables, with their cheering bounties,
furnished abundant gratification for the eye,
and the sense of taste.
Here was the place and scene of more act-
ive operations. But in them all, there was
an order and decorum of manner, a becom-
ing self-respect, and regard for others, which
did not fail to attract the attention and call
forth the admiration even of the ordinary
observer.
Thus the evening hours rolled quickly and
pleasantly away." And then came the sweet
good night song breathing the spirit of con-
tentment, and hope, and love.
May there be for those little ones, the
children of our fallen soldiers. many a “ Hap-
py New Year." *

Relentless death hath snatched away
The darling of thy heart ;
Ahi and indeed was it for thee
With that dear child to part;
One whose timid llttie foot-fall
Now we listen for in vain,
And whose voice, like bird-notes ringing,
Never will be heard again.
Her face on earth you‘ll see no more,
She is taken from thy sight.
But her bright spirit's gone to dwell
With God in fndcless night.
Her blue eyes like angels beaming,
Never more will meet your own,
on her absence makes most dreary
That once cheerful happy home.
Her gentle form is slumbering now
Within that narrow bed,
Ah yes, thy child, thy lovely child
Is numbered with the dead.
Vainly mother, will you seek her,
Vacant is her little bed,
- Lovelylittle one ; in the grave yard
Low is laid thy little head,
But the grave-yard l 0 the grave-yard!
Let us turn our thoughts away 1
Looking upward —-looking upward
Into the realms of cloudless day.
Thy lovely child is happy now ;
Her sorrows all are o‘er.
And pain and sickness, grief and woe,
Will never vex her more.
Parents strive to meet thy little one,
In that bright world above,
Where angels sing around the throne,
0f God‘s redeeming love.
