Congress.
The important event of last week was the
passage of a resolution by the House admit-
ting Tennessee to her former relations in the
union and the adoption of a. similar
though somewhat difierent proposition
by the Senate upon a receipt of a tele-
gram from Governor Brownlow stating that
the Tennessee Legislature had passed the
Constitutional Amendment. It is stated
that President Johnson was very much cha-
grined at the cOurse the thing had taken
and his Private Secretary averred at the Cap-
itol that‘fliis thing had upset all the , Presi-
dent’s plans.” . Congress is expected to close
its labels on Wednesday or Thursday of
thisWeek. _ ' ' ’ _

PEfisONaLh-We have had a most welcome
visit list week from James Reed, for many
yearsour predecessor in the publication of the
Gazetta‘Mr. Reed like many other Norwalk
born and bred has taken up his abode in Ohio
and continues the editorial management of
theAshtagbula Telegraph. The rapid growth,
and mauyxevidences of the permanent ad-
vancement and prosperity of N orwalk caus-
ed much ’surprise and gratification in the mind
of our professional paternal, while the cor-
dial -g're‘e’tings of old friends and residents
here, must have produced equally pleasure;
ble'eniotioiis. Norwalk may be a good place
togo, from,~but it is equally as good a place
to came back to. '
Hon.r Chas. A. Dana, late assistant Secre-
tary of 'war, was also our guest on Fri-
day, and spent the day visiting the many
points of riire attraction in our beautifully di-
versified ,town. Mr. Dana’s visit was with
a'view? of finding a place of residence in this
vicinity. -.

(New Houses.
In a hurried drive about town on Friday
last,'we were greatly surprised at the num-
ber of new dwellings which were going 'up
despite the “hard times” and great cost of
building materials. Down-Town, Gen,
Ferry’s' new' house and Mr. Marvins preten-
tious frame, attract attention as prominent
amongseveral smaller edifices now being or
havingbeen recently constructed. In the
rear of Mr. Capes, on the hill back of South
Norwalk, we noticed another considerable
house iii the course of erection, while Pre-
ceptor Lyon has just completed a snug little
cotta'geii'i one of the most sightly and sur-
passingly beautiful locations about our sister
town." Mr. Sanford has also commenced the
erection. of a fine residence on the new street,
which enters West Avenue nearly opposite
Chapel Street. Norwalk is bound to grow
andhigh prices and no amount of old fogy
opposition and croaking can now arrest it’s
onward career. -

InnoanrnNTs—In addition to the very
decided improvement now being made by
the N orwalk Lock Company, in their Facto-
ry building,we think that Frederick St.John
Esq., comes next on the list of enterprising
and public spirited improvement makers.
By a very tasteful and un'expensive sur-
rounding of the “ Disbrow House ” on West
Avenue, with a porch and balcony, he has
converted that hitherto unsightly. and really
annoying edifice, into one as attractive and
comely as any of its compeers upon that broad
and beaptiful avenue. Our thanks to the
“Celenel” for abolishing that irritating eye-
sore, the old stoop. ‘
:- Tm: WEATHER—The unprecedented tor-
rid term of nearly two weeks, was broken
91'. Saturday last by a most grateful and re-
freshing rain. In New York and elsewhere
the number of. cases of sun-stroke exceeded
anything ever known before, and the heat
was more fatal and to be dreaded than Asi-
atic'Cholera- or other epidemic diseases. In
New Yerk several hundreds were prostrated
bytheheat in a single day.

»- wMaj. Gen. Shaman having finished
his New England visit has passed over into
Queen Victoria’s Provinces. On Saturday
he and his party were reported at Montreal.
Wefwere' erroneously made to say in our
last, that President Scranton supplied the
General with a special car from Norwalk to
New. Haven. That courtesy was extended
by'Snpt. Hoyt, of Stamford, and we make
the correction all the more cheerfully frbin
our knowledge of the fact that Mr. Hoyt
was not particularly anxious about promo-
rnoting the comfort of our brave Union de-
fenders during the war. He may have learn-
ed the General’s politics however, and sym-
pathised with him when he remarked that
“he had never voted but once and by that
act had deservedly disfranchised himselffor-
ever, in that he had voted for James Bu-
chanan for President.

HA! AND Guam—The Hay crop has been
pretty, generally secured, and although a
.“lighterdp” has grown to be a familiar croak,
we are quite sure that our farmers will con-
1less to a more than average yield this year.
The’weather although excessively hot has
Ibsen-unusually propitious and the cut this
:year has been-secured in good condition.
The same may be said of much of the Rye
cut this year. The winter was very hard
for this cereal yet the berry has filled out to
'"an unusual plumpness, and whatever may
be lacking in quantity is more than made up
in quality. " The Oat, Potato and Corn
Crops are also quite promising. '

1 New 0!! Mills.
TIn ‘oui‘perambulations, last week, we dis-
'-covered1 anew and novel edifice recently
erected upon Mr. Bell’s promontory, adja-
cent to Baton Point. Upon visiting the lo.
'cality',’ in" obedience to our'wonted curiosity,
_ we discovered 'a first class modern Oil Mill,
‘for; the purpose of converting the million
“babies" or “white fish,” which have hither-
to had no commercial value other than as a
fertilizet,‘ into 071 to be used in trades, for
' mixing paints, dressing leather and various
' oihe‘r’valuabie purposes. Another mill, for
“tiresome purpose, has been erected by a
Ljdintestock company on one of the Norwalk -
Islands.- - This has become a large and im-
pértant business interest along our entire
coast; - ~

A Happy-Thought.
Mr. Truby, Landscape Gardenbr, and Arch-
itect, in charge of Mr. Legrand Lockwood’s
estate has projected the idea of appropria-
ting the unimproved grounds now belonging
to Chas.Mallory and Judge Butler lyingnorth
of the former’s house and embracing the side
Hill land belonging tothe Judge and throw-
ing the whole into a side hill Park. A most
beautiful and attractive feature could thus be
wrought out at a small cost. There are
abundant means for a fountain thereon, and
by turning the angle of the old Conn. Turn-
pike so as to run down beside the homestead
of Mr. Mallory quite a large public square
could be enclosed. For public out-door
meetings there is no such accessible spot in
town as a vast audience could assemble be-
neath the speaker. What a magnificent site
too, for the to be, but never at hand “ City
Hall.” By all means let us have the Park.

FAMILY GATHERING—On Tuesday, July
10th, there was a large family gathering at
the old homestead of Ebenezer Crofoot, de-
ceased, in Silver Mine. The father and
mother died some years since, leaving eight
children,—seven daughters and one son,—
who haveall grown up, married, and are
still living, the eldest being ,85 years of age
and the youngest 58. All but the youngest
daughter, who is living in Ohio with her
husband, were present at this gathering
with their husbands and wife. Of this fami-
ly there are now living these eight children
(with their husbands and wife,) thirty-three
grand-children, and twenty-nine great-grand
children.

THREE MEN KILLED.—-On Tuesday last,
three men of the name of Mead, living at
Cross Brook, Lewisboro, (South Saiem)N,
Y., lost their lives in a shallow well_, but 8
feet deep.» The well was located, we believe
in the fields; and one of the men in drawing
a pail of water, lost his pail in and immedi-
ately descended for it; be had gone down
but two or three feet when he fell ; his two
brothers being at work close by, came up and
the second one started down and also tell, he
was immediately followed by the third who
also fell down. Help arriving, a fourth, we
are informed, started to go down, but was
held back until a rope could be got and fas-
tened around him, he descended but three or
four feet when he had to be drawn up, owing
to the foul air. The three brothers were
finally drawn out, but life was extinct. The
well being full of foul air was the cause of
their death ; after they fell in a lighted can-‘
die was let down but would not burn after
being let down two feet. When will people
learn to test the air of their wells be’ore
risking their lives in them. _

A LITTLE MIXED—A devoted wife, prepar-
ing for a Summer excursion to the White
Mountains or other cooling retreat, was
greatly shocked, at the mixed state of piety
and things practical, displayed by her
equally devoted husband in his preparations
for departure.- After everything had been
got in readiness as the wife supposed, the
husband insisted upon the necessity of go-
ing to the Bridge, to procure a couple more
of indispensable articles, before the party
should leave. Insisting upon knowing what
was deficient the husband with ’entire sim-
plicity‘ exhibited his memorandum which
to the horror of his wife, read thus—“must
get a Cor/c screw and Prayer Book.”

MURDERED.——The N. ,Y. papers of Satur-
day report that on Fridy last the Rev. J. C.
Richmond, was murdered while at work in
his garden, in Poughkeepsie, by a man who
came up behind and shot him. No further
particulars were given. . We presume this is
the Rev. James Cook Richmond who was
rector of St. Paul’s church some quarter of a
century ago, and who will be remembered by
the present generation as the able but eccen-
tric divine who gave a course of lectures in
this place, in 1856, and who was then denom-
inated by our senior as a “walking encyclo-
paadia and vitalized enigma.” He had a
. wonderful memory, was well read, had trav-
eled quite extensively, but his mind was evi-
dently unevenly balanced.

On Friday last, a party of some fifty la-
dies and gentlemen from Wilton and Nor-
walk, including several visitors from New
York, went on a pic-nic down the bay, by
invitation of Mr. Leander Allen, of New
York. An excellent dinner was provided at
Smith’s Island, and during the afternoon the
party visited Roton Point, where an hour
was happily spent in the grove. _A violin-
ist from the ciiy accompanied the party.
All hands arrived safely home, at a season-
able hour in the evening, well pleased with
the pic-nic, and grateful to the host for his
efforts for their entertainment. .
A large steam mud-digger, employed by
Mr. White, the proprietor of the Steamboat,
arrived in our harbor on Friday night last,
and is now. engaged in digging out the chan-
nel so that the Neversink can reach her dock
at low tide. It is a powerful and wonderful
machine and very interesting and effective in
its operation. It pokes its nose down in the
water, digs up about a cart load of mud,
brings it above the surface, carriesit to one
side and dumps it into a large scow, which
is towed ofi down the harbor, by a steam
tug, and unloaded. Now that the machine
is here, why can’t we have the harbor dug
out from the Bridge to Gregory’s Point?
Who will move in the matter ? We are
confident many of our citizens will contrib-
ute to the enterprise. ‘
Some of the Richmond steamers now pass
through Long Island Sound, in making their
trips to and from New York, giving their
passengers “the opportunity of witnessing
the beautiful shores of Connecticut and
Long Island." On Tuesday last the Never-
sink, on her trip up, overhauled, passed and
left out of "sight the ocean steamer “Rapi-
dan” of that line. .

Lincoln University.
This istitution, located near Oxford, Ches-
ter 00., Pa.,was formerly known as the Ash-
mun Institute. It was first incorporated in
1854, as an institute to prepare colored men
- for the ministry.. Such has been its success
and increase in numbers and applications
for admission, that during the last year its
tifustees decided to .increase- its accommodao
tions _and obtain an enlargement of its
charter rights and privileges, which
was granted by the Legislature of Pa. during
its last session. It is now a chartered Colle~
giate and Theological Institute.
Its past accommodations were only for
25 pupils; though it closed in J one with 46.
It has now erected and completely enclosed
a substantial building, which, when finished
inside will accommodate nearly one hundred
and fifty. The institution is in pressing ne.
'cessity for funds to complete the building,
to purchase apparatus, to enlarge the corps
of teachers, and sustain indigent pupils.
The object of the university is to educate
indigent and pious young men of color for
the Gospel ministry, and as teachers of
their own race in this country and in Africa.
Forty-six students were in attendance this
last session, from eight different States in the
Union, with many more asking admission,
for whom there is no room until the comple-
tion of the new building. Many of these
are from the Southern States, and some are
men of marked ability.
The trustees are chosen from different
evangellical denominations, and the advan-
tages of the institution—and they are good
-are open to all and gladly embraced by
students from the various branches of the
Christian Church. 1
The Rev. Mr. Hood, an agent for this insti-
tution is now in this town asking aid of our
Churches. He comes with ample endorse-
ment and the cause he represents will com-
mend itself to the benevolence of our people
To provide educated ministry for that neg-
lected race should be the desire of every
Christian heart, and every liberal band
should be opened by its plea. Corr.

purpose of procuring orders for the work,
and we trust he will meet with success com-
mensurate with the merits of the book.

WMessrs. Whitney & Beckwith having
renovated their rooms, are out With a new
advertisement in which alluSioi'i is made to'
. Austen’s Daguereotypes made here some 20
years ago, and as we like to look back occa-
sionally to the past of our village and its in-
habitants, we have taken pains to ascertain
the following facts. Mr. Austen commenced
making daguerreotypes, we think,in the year
1845, in a building where J ames’s Block now
stands, the lower part of which was occu-
pied as a store by Mr. F. St.John. There,
with very poor facilities, he struggled along,
making some very good work however.
When the DanburyR. R, was cut through,
he succeeded in getting a better and mere
unobstructed light over the depot, and here
some fine specimens of the beautiful art were
produced. Circumstances seemed; to favor
his removal and he sold 'out and went West.
After changing “owners. two or‘three times,
theGallery came into the hands Of Mr. E. B.
Thompson, who introduced the Ambrotype
and was quite successful with the new style.
In 1858 Mr. E. T. Whitney arrived in Nor-
walk in pursuit of health. Constant devo-
tion to his business for 15 years in Roches-
ter, N. Y., had so impaired his health that he
was obliged‘to dispose of his business and
come east to try the effect of the salt air. In
1859 he had so farreeovered that he decided
to remain in Norwalk, and bought the re-
mains of the old Gallery. When the Ga-
zette Building Was put up Mr. W. had a sky-
light constructed in' it, on a new principle,
which is, we believe, the first of the kind ev-
er built. It being of 'blue ground glass a
very pleasant and‘agreeanle light is obtained
and gives to the pictu're‘a softnessgand ro-
tundily which no other light does. It would
be useless for us to speak of the many beau-
tiful works of art produced by Mr. W., they
stand unrivalled and may be found upon the
walls and tables of almost every Norwalk
home. In 1863 Mr. Whitney left the gallery
in charge of , Mr. Beckwith and went into
‘ the old Frederick’s‘Gallery inBroadway, N.
Y., where he has been successfulin pleasing
everybody but himself, and we learn, that
he is about t9 return to Norwalk to remain
permanently. ' For the last three years the
Norwalk Gallery has kept, pace with the
times, all the new styles of pictures and pro-
cesses in the art having been successfully in-
troduced and carried on until they have ar-
rived at that point where it would be difficult
to exceed their. work in any of the various
departments of portraiture, landscapes, phON
tographs, or pictures of animals. There are
many strangers in town thissummer who
may not know that we have an establish-
ment here doing work which is equal to any
- in the city, and we assure them that it will
be for their interest to call- and examine
Messrs. Wh'intey do Beckwith’s specimens. ~

WThe small side-'wh'eel steam tug J.
M. Lewis, of New: Haven, run on the reef of
rocks on the southwest end of Smith’s Is-
land, one night last week, having . in tow a
large barge loaded with .coal for C.‘ T. Ledif-
ard, of this place. The barge was anchored
off, as they thought, at a safe distance; but
at low tide she grounded hard on a rock
stove a hole in her bottom and sunk. Par-
ties are' now engaged in- raising the coal.
~ Efforts have been made to-raise the steam-
er by placing under her at low water a lot of
barrels, &c., with the hopes of floating her
off at high tide, but so far without success.
The crew are comfortably encamped on
Smith’s Island. A considerable quantity of
coal has been taken from the barge, which
lies on-tlie reef, entirely covered at high wa-

it. WThe Philadelphia convention bids fair
tobe a strange mixture when it meets. J ud-
ging from the names appended to the call for
a primary convention in this State, Connect-
icut will send a set of men who were loyal
through the war and voted the Lincoln and
JohnsOn ticket. But in Louisiana the Dem-
ocratic State Central Committee have ap-
pointed a full delegation, placing the the reb-
el army undercontribution for the purpose.
Among them are General Dick Taylor, Al-
exander Bouton, W. C. C. Claybourne, H.
M. Spofiord and Judge Abell, there being
but one man, General T. J. Hernon, on the
list who was not a rebel. How will these el-
ements mix? It is said, however, that the‘
conservative Union men of that State will
send a delegation to contest the rebel repre-
sentatives’ seats. The Vermont Democracy
also sends delegates, and the old Breckin-
ridge State committee of Virginia has taken
steps to the same,eud. In Maryland and
Pennsylvania, conservative men will be ap-
pointed. The Democrats of Rhoda Island
will also be there. The conservative mem-
bers of Congress from Tennessee will be in
attendance, as well as those from Mississip-
pi. The ‘Claybank” State Convention ( 1
Missouri chose deligates some days since.
The democrats of illinols will send a full
number. Indiana will be provided for by
the democrats; Ohio will have a completo‘
so also will Wisconsin. Iowa
will be represented by General Augustus C.
Dodge, and associates of that stamp; also
by “a strong delegation of conservative Re-
publicans.” Conventions have been called
in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
but have not yet appointed delegates. In
some of these States there is doubtless little
difference between the signification of “con-
servative" and "democrat”; but there are
yet such discordant elements represented,
that those who participate in the. convention
will surely appreciate the truth of ' the say-
ing that “politics makes strange bed-fellows.”

MAIN STREET, ‘ HARTFORD, CONN.
Acknowledge thankfully, thehigh apprecia-
tion of their “CELEBRATED PERFECT-
ED SPECTACLES" as shown by the con-
tinually increasing patronage accorded them
at 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-
fession, combined 'with their extensive prac-
tice confers. ‘ They desire to offer here a few
observations, upon the evils resulting from
the wear ofbadly fitted and common spec-
tacles 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
eye is tired and wearied from trying on sev-
eral pairs, and consequently most difficult
to fit ; as might be expected under such cir-
cumstances, serious mistakes are made, oc-
cusioning much suffering, and in some cases
permanent injury to the eyes.
MESSRS. LAZARUS & MORRIS,
exorcise the eye with a very powuful glass,
and decide at once what is necessary, and
themselves select bill. one pair of spectacles,
which Will fit accuratelyand uiierringiy,
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 a
brilliancy and distinctness of vision, which
to the unitialed is perfectly astonishing.
their charges are moderate, and their motto,
“ HONOR AND INTEGRITY ”
in the conduct oftheir business, unfailingly
adhered to; the limits of an advertise-
ment preclude the insertion of the many tes-
testimonials they are daily receiving.
