the distinguished visitors were called upon
by a large concourse of oureitinens who in-
sisted upon his taking the balcony and ad-
dressing the multitude. He spoke for about
ten minutes in his wonted happy and rapid
manner, to the great delight of his auditors.
He was followed, in answer to call, by Gen.
Ferry, in a most cogent and eloquent ad-
dress of welcome. . Later in the evening
our Norwalk Brass Band honored the Gen-
eral with a complimentary serenade.
It was past midnight w n the. guests re-‘
tired, all highly gratifl with their eve-
ning’s interview with the bronzed hero of
the most memorable march of history.
At 6:80 Friday morning the distinguished
party took the early eastern train for NewHa-
ven. on nuts for Boston. Mayor Sperry and
Gen. Russell had visited Norwalk On Thurs-
.day and pledged the General to a few hours
acceptance of the hospitalities of the Elm
City. All along the line of the road to New
Haven the Depots were thronged, all eager
to catch a glimpse of the General. as
Bridgeport, in response to the importunate
calls he came out upon the platform and ex-
pressed his thanks for their complimentary
call. Arriving at New Haven, carriages
' were in waiting to conduct him through the
long line of Elm shaded streets. A brief
halt being made only at the College and the
Merchant’s Exchange—the General respond-
ing tohis welcome at both points with rare
good taste and felicity. -
At 11 o'clock the party again entered the
special car approp'risted for their use, and
proceeded eastward in the special charge of
Alderman Slack, and Councilman White of
the Boston City Government, who also visit-
ed Norwalk to urge upon the General ac-
ceptance of the freedom of the American
A'thens. From New Haven to Boston it
was but one continuous ovation. Hundreds
and thousands thronged every station eager
to catch a glance of the passing hero.
Arrived at Boston, Mayor Lincoln wel-
comed the General to the hospitalities of the
city, when, escorted by a military cavalade,
the party were driven through the streets
until a late hour. At the Revere House a
sumptuous repast was provided, where the
time up till today Was consumed in visiting
various points of interest in and about that
historic city. To-day the party proceed to
_ -- Dartmouth, where a son of the Judge is to
' graduate on Thursday. On Friday the Gen-
eral and his daughter will proceed toNiaga-
rs sia Canada, and thence back to his Read
Quarters at St. Louis, 'while Mr. and Mrs
Charles Sherman return with their son to
their home in Ohio. Our own thanks are
due Alderman Slack and Councilman White
for a generous share of municipal entertain-
ment.

slightest idea that they are living within so
short a ride or sail of this picturesque and
enchanting old town. With the exception of
mountain scenery Norwalk is the most beau-
tiful village in New England. It was settled
two centuries and a quarter ago by some of
the soundest of the old Puritan stock, some
of whom, like the Lockwoods, Benedicts,
Fitches &c., are still to be, found here in the
9th and 10th generations. while the great
portion of them have wandered to every
part of the country and distinguished them-
selves in every art and profession, building
up territorial and state overnments, and in-
stitutions of learning a] over the continent.
It has probably sent out more educated men
than any other town Of the size in New En-
land. The township lies at the head of
Norwalk Bay, and the approach to it from
the Sound (the beautiful steamer Nevcrsink
makes the daily trip) through its green is-
lands, with ranges o hills stretching away in
the distance, crowned with sightly edifices
‘and magnificent forest trees, wiih_the spires
of seven or eight churches rising through, but
scarcely above the monarch elms all render
it one of the most picturesque and lovely
sights to be witnessed on the whole Ameri.
can coast.
The village of South Norwalk is a curious
sight, combinin all the peculiarities of a
central railroad spot, with clusters of stores,
and manufactories, half citified and all coun-
try; neat,homelike looking hotelawhitc, with
green blinds, overshadowed with immense
tr and surrounded with all sorts of fruits,
she ,and flowers, enlivened by the con-
stant arrival and de ure of cars with the
bustleand activity a flourishing country
villa From this starting pornt the roads
win in all directions. The roads are all
streets, and the streets are all roads, paying.
no particular regard to anybodyjs fancy, but
their own, where they run, up into the hills
or around them, but from each opening or
eminence commanding a view of the bay,
with its islands. the Sound stretching away,
and beyond it at a distance .of twelve miles,
the green, uneven range of Long Island—the
scene is everywhere enchanting.
The road to the upper village (a mile and
a half ), is a broad, irregular avenue, shaded
the whole distance in its wmdrngs, and ups
and downs, with the most majestic elm trees
rhaps to be found in the whole world.
any of them were planted two centuries
ago,and a vast number of iheln(indigenous to,
the soil, )must have reached an .enormOns
growth long before a white man ever made
this place his habitation. Here the old In-
dian tribes of Connecticut met in council
and were found in a much higher state of
culture than in any other portion of the
continent. In fact within the limits of this
town, besides many skirmishes, one of the
most sanguinary battles between the early
settlers and the red man was fought, that
we find recorded in the history of New
England. For nearly two miles the main
street is one contineus scene of modern vil-
las, alienating with old homesteads, sur-
rounded by the most exquisite gardens, all
in the highest state of cultivation, but all
overshadowed and enriched by the most
stately trees, and an endless variety of
shrubs and flowers. I never saw 'a place
where the people seem to have gone so mud
on flowers; the are everywhere, in the
gardens,in the side, in the hedges, clam~
boring up the windows, doors, sheds, barns,
arbors, and fences. The aroma is constant
—it is everywhere. No rural or village
scene in England did I ever see of richer
foliage or more entrancing landscape. In
the upper village, after leaving the twoor
three blocks of brick and mortar, and pass-
ing over the fine stone bridge that crosses
Norwalk creek, the ascent is steep to the
higher and more beautiful portion of the
town, where another and in some respects,
a grander avenue extends down the river for
a mile or two. This is the oldest part of
the town where the finest churches and the
moat aristocratic residences are seen. In
almost everyone of these fine old” houseshas'
lived a Governor, a United States Senator,
a foreign ambassador, a member of the .cabi-
net. or some other illustrous man. Here is
the residence of Gen. Ferry, the newly elec-
ted Senator. At the north end of this beau-
tiful part of the town there is one charming
feature which I have never found in any
other place in America. In the midst of a
grove of ancient 'elms rising to enormous
heights, stands the old churchyard, where,
in one beautiful enclosure are the church,
the parsonage, and the graves of the early
settlers Here “the rude fathers Of the ham-
let sleep,” sheltered by primitive forest trees,
and their time-worn graves still dressed with
flowers. The walks through the church-
yard lead up to the church, nnd. around the
oidparsonage. The scene is made solemn
by the conscious presence of the departed,
and the warm and genial atmosphere of the
living, the happy and the young. Here at
evening we found the children playing
around the graves, but all the grounds care-
fully kept. Over all these high grounds,and
the adjacent hills around for miles, is spread
the most enchanting scenery; the roads
leading10fi‘ into the country in all directions,
lined with magnificent trees, with the rip-
plin of the little river, and its tinklin trib-
u _ es. Here are the “lowing of the erd,”
andall the.sights and sounds of the beauti-
fhl home-life of New England.
I have tried, day-after day, to find the
most beautiful drive or walk through this
neighborhood, and every day it seems to me
1 have Just found it. Every where the same
smooth roads, the same mossy stone walls
(fences), the same glorious elms and maples.
the same rich foliage, the same endlessness
of fruit and flowers. Would to God a mile
or two square of all this could he suddenly
transplanted to the center of our island, for
on “2f” take up a tract anywhere around
orw k, within an hour’s drive, and make
somethln far more entrancing than will be
seen in entral Park for the next hundred
years.
‘ Nearly everybody have horses and car-
na es. and what is very striking and odd-
loo ing at first to a New Yorker, the pleas-
ure driving is mostly done by the ladies—and
pretty fast_drivind at that. There is no
afi'ectation 1n this.for these Connecticut girls
are brought up to drive. Their fast quali-
ties in this respect shine out gloriously. At
eyery hour of the day I see tum-outs of this
kind going at such a rate as absolutely to
make- the nerves of an old New Yorker
quiver.
With somuch foliage, and the constantly
fresh breezes coming from the Sound, such
a thing as oppressiveness of heat I have not
yet experienced here.
Norwalk is famous for the number of its
beautiful private residences, and the scrupu-
lous neatness and homclike comfort of its
country hotels.
We are staying at Byxbcc’s, a new hotel,
built on the site of an old mansion, and we
are perfectly sheltered by fine trees,and with-
in a few steps of the depot. We have every
luxury of New York, with that inestimable
thing to which New York is a stranger—
scrupulous neatness, and home-comfort,from
the kitchen to the sleeping chamber. The
Byxbce brothers also keep a Hotel at the
point, three miles down on the bay, which
is one Of the most attractive spots on the
whole Coast, and the drive from town to the
beach is one Of the most beautiful, in the
world.
A few of us were troubled for a long time
where We should go for the summer, for we
had worn out everything, but good fortune
chose this spot for us, and now, after a fine
breakfast, We have the beautiful sail by the
Neversink steamer, or the ride by the New
Haven cars, either of which brings ‘us to
Wall Street for all the business hours, and
allow us to return in the afternoon.
I,wrll sometime tell you about the fine
houses and the fine people here, the schools,
the churches, the factories, the eloquent
preachers and lawyers, and above all the
beautiful women of Norwalk. C. E. L.

The European War Finished.
The latest arrival from Europe, intimates
that the EuropeanlWar is now about finish-
ed. There has been some heavy fighting be-
tween the Austrians and Prussians, in which
the Prussians were the victors, inflicting
heavy losses on the Austrians. The Austri-
an loss up to date of the latest intelligence
was announced at 40,000. Gitschin, a town
in Bohemia had been stormed by the Prus-
sians and a junction of their two armies form-
ed. Aust ria had then Seat in proposing an
armistice, has ceded Venetia to Napoleon
and accepted his mediation. Napoleon 'had
immediately opened negotiations with Prus-
sia and Italy and it is universally conceded
that this ends the war. Prussia and Italy
therefore come out victorious, and Austria is
humiliated.

An Appeal for Help.
The Trustees of “Fitch’s Home” for the
orphan children of Soldiers, at Darien, have
hitherto received from a generous public, a
ready response to all their applications for
aid. The ladies of the District have already
furnished a large amount of clothing. Some
of them are now laboring most indefatigably
to keep the children supplied. But there
are many citizens in the district who have
as yet done little‘or nothing in aid of the In-
stitution. If they can be made acquainted
with the present necessities of the children,
we feel sure that they will promptly give us
the needed assistance.
The contributions in money, provisions
and clothing heretofore received, with the
income from the permanent fund, have ena-
bled the Trustees until within the past-three
months, to providefor the wants of the In-
stitution without the accumulation of a debt.
But the report of the treasurer, J. B. Hoyt,
at the meeting of the Trustees, July 7th,
shows a large falling off in the receipts and
a corresponding defect in the treasury. We
also need immediately,in the way of clothing,
two blue frock over-shirts and two pairs of .
summer pants for each of 24 boys. If the
materials are iurhished, the ladies will see
that they arepromptly made. -
Will not our merchants, some of whom
have already done much, help us again? If
so, please indicate it to the trustees or to
some one of the lady managers of the Heme.
But we need, besides the clothing, at least a
thousand dellarsiin moneyto pay the arrear-
‘sges- due from the treasury and tO'provide
for immediate necemitiea Cannot this sum
be raised without the expense of employing
nascent. . ; ..
We appealto the patriotic and benevolent
to aid us in this-work. The Legislature has .
'made‘ an appropriation by which we shall be
materially aided after the 1st of; Oct, next.
But in our present emergency we earnestly
solicit and expect the help of a generous pub-
lic, in the firm belief that our expectation will
not be disappointed. The orphan children
of our fallen brothers and sons must not be
sent back from the “Home,” where they are
now made comfortable and happy, to the con
dition of streetbeggare or._of common pau-
pers in the poor-houses of the district. To
prevent this, let every - friend of humanity
send us promptly a generous contribution.
Donations may be cent to the treasurer, J.

dersigned trustees;

Death of our Adjutant.
of July 12th, Rev.‘ T. W. Conway, late
Chaplain of the Ninth New York (Hawkins
Zouaves), in which were some Norwalk"
boys, gives this story: “ Lieutenant Gads-
den had been a member of Co. K. of the
Seventh Regiment N. Y., National Guard.
He received his death-wound in agallant
charge on Roanoke Island, N. C. The
Chaplain writes :" “I said to him as he was
being home from the field, ‘be of good cheer.’
He replied, ‘I have always been cheerful,
you know, but now is time to be serious, and
cheerful only if we are ready to die and
meet God in peace.” I asked “how do you
feel about that matter 1” ‘Chaplain, I was
passing through the streets 'of New York,
one day and I heard singing, it was Sunday,
' I went in, I saw a company. of poor children,

Of them; they were singing, ‘There is a
Fountain filled with Blood’: I was so em-

ftupon me that I had to give myself to
God; and sincethen. althOugh I have not
made the world to know it asIougbt, I
have loved Jesus, and I love Him now.’
Soon he was breathing his last, I went up»
close to him and whispered in his car this
word, ‘trust in Jesus.’ He moved his band
and I took hold of it, be grasped mine as his
only way of saying ‘Ido trust Him.’ ”
“Out of the mouths of babes and suck-

with children and'adutts, attributed to other causes
is occasioned by worms. The “ Vnnmrnon Con-

do no possible injury to the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been successfully
used by physicians, and found to be safe and sure in
eradicating worms, so hurtful to children.

a sure remedy. The combination of ingredients
used in making Brown’s “ Var-mirage Comflte” is
such as to give the best possible effect with safety.

MAIN STREET, HARTFORD,CONN.
Acknowledge thankfully, theh' h. a recia-
tion Of their “CELEBRATED ECT-
ED SPECTACLES" as shown by the con-
tinually increasing patronage accorded them
their permanent residence (the past six
years) in Hartford, enables them at all
times to offer to the public, the full advan-
tages which the perfect knowledge of the pro;
iession, combined with their extensive prac-
tice confers. They desire to offer here a few
observations, upon the evils resulting from
the wear of badly fitted and common spec-
taclers in purchasing of unskillful dealers, no
guidance as to the proper glass can be given,
but customers are expected to select for
themselves; this is usually done when the
Sega is tired and wearied from trying on sev-
eral pairs, and consequently most 'difilcult
to fit ; as might be eXpected under such cir-
cumsiances, serious mistakes are made, or;-
casioning much suffering, and in some cases
permanent injury to the eyes. ‘
MESSRS. LAZARUS &. MORRIS, ex-
amine the eye with a very powerful glass,
and decide at once what is necessary, and
themselves select but one pair of spectacles,
which will fit accurately and unerringly,
apart from the value of the peculiarly con-
structed lens they use, this ability to fit the
eye is of the greatest importance, assuring
to the purchaser ease and comfort, and u
brilliancy and distinctness ofvision, which
to the unitiated is perfectly astonishing.
their charges are moderate, and their motto,
“ HONOR AND INTEGRITY "
in the conduct of their business, unfailingly
adhered to ; the limits of an advertise-
ment preclude the insertion of the many tea.
testimonials they are daily receiving.
