MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Oct 13th, ’66.
DaAE GAzETTE.—I closed my last week’s
letter with the promise of some account of
this thriving, central village of old Orange.
Middletowu is an incorporated village with-
‘ In the town of Walkill, and prior to the con-
struction of that monster enterprise, the
Iris Railroad, was not more pretentious than
Italian or WestpOrt. 'It had its small ‘col-
deciles of houses at the center, its school
banal, post office and two or three modest.
Churches, its hall-dozen .- cOuutry stores. with

ware and crockery; its teacher who “board-
ed'round,” and its pastors who. preached,

par. It'smarket town was-Newburgh on
the Hudson, and its product, almost exclu-
flveiy. spring calves, unctious butter. and
fallpigs and porkers. To-day it boasts its
half-dozen or more Churches, its three
Banks, scores of Stores, four- Or five Hotels,
its gas-works, fine residences, and Other con-
comitant! of a thrifty, goahead,‘ modern
bw'u. The‘sErie Railroad gave it its first im-
pulse of enterprise and prosperity. Its 'citi-

manufactures, and, the widely-famed found-
cry, saw-and tail shops of the Madden Iron
.00.. were induced tolOcate here. This drew
, .othus, just salt has done and will continue
' ”do in Norwdlk, until now Middletown
more nearly resembles a Yankee manufac-
turingvillsge than any in thecounty. It
~ portrays too,.whet a few energetic, unselfish
and public-spirited men mayldo‘ for any
Mn they will only unite for their own
and the common good. '
Yesterday I attendedvby invitation, a pub- -
, lb meeting of its citizens called to authorize
1 , , is inning of Corporation Bonds, for the
dnstruetion of Water Works They had
use committee out to examine this matter
bother places, and like sensible, discrimi-
also; men as they were, they went to Con-
' ', sentient. They visited Danbury, and public-
ly; tender their thanks to Engineer Bacon for
information and attention to them while
there. Thence they visited Bridgeport, and
. Winetcd where our quandom friends, Clark
“of y. Herald and Coo of Legislative memo-
11,- won their gratitude for similar favors.
. Then they visited New Britain, where un-
' doubudly exists the most complete water-
, works in the country upon anything like‘so
small a scale, and oi course the committee
were there indebted,” the writer has been,
to; that great water-works knight of New
.5,“ England, F. C. Stanley, Esq. The question
of mortgaging the village property for a
hundred'thousand dollars,even‘,for so impOrt-
a'at a public benefit as water, was a serious
one, and considerable doubt was felt as to-
. whether itwouid be enrried. But the citi-
asns turned out and filled their largest hall ,
‘ and he're'I wish every man who has ever at-
-' tundcd a town meeting in Norwalk could
hevs’ been present, .to have been instructed
and benefitted, if not rebuked. Instead of
any ignorant, pig-headed attempts to ad-
journ, or to hamper: the prOject, as is so
, molly done with us, every man present
. leaned honestly and candidly anxious to be
M upon the subject upon which they
were called to vote. Like intelligent, pub-
lic-spirited citizens, anxious to protect them-
Vaaivd had their property, they were equally
desirous to promote the .generallthrif't and
welfare of their “two. Their charter had
been scoured in behalf of and in the name
of the town ; as it was'felt' that the water
was for the people and the money that a pri-
. vats corporation would make out of it, ought
. to be shared to by the property-holders and
‘ citinns'ln common. It was announced that
ten thousand dollars would be cheerfully
paid by a private company for the franchise,
if the corporqtion would relinquish it, but as
it was for the people, they voted the people
should own it, with but a single dissenting
avoids. The bonds are voted to be issued,

gratitude to Messrs. L'ockv’voodT and Lynes
for the vuy,grest service they-have rendered
liorwalk by supplying us ’with two public
Halls at once so capacious and so inviting.
A public Hall of larger dimensions is a prime
' nutty for Middletown, ‘and we have, no
doubt will soon be supplied by one of its
public-minded citizens. ,
Night before last Ex-Vice President Hani-
bnl Hamlin addressed us, and. hundreds who
were very anxious to see and hear him were,
forced 'to stay away. The old gentleman,
the bosom friend of 'Mr. Lincoln, sifted “my-
policy” so thoroughly that if it were possi-
. his, the people loathed and abhorred the
President’s perlidy more than befOre. F no
arraigned him, not in passion, .hutwéahnly
and in respectful terms, of infractionszof the
constitution, of high crimes and misdemean-
ors-within the intent and meaning of that in-.
atrument. He told the people 'of the peace,
M will and commercial prosperity which
' , would now have blessed our nation if ‘An-
drew Johnson had moved-faithful to themo-
'mentbns trusts reposed in him by the loyal
‘ people of the country. When the war lclo-
.' sad tilerebehrknew by all the laws and :usa-
. plot civilized nations, they had forfeited
' their lives. After the surrender of Lee ;and
forlnonthsgafter, they were in a state of
mindready and willing to accede to fany
~ _ terms the Executive‘or Congress might deem
' ' wise‘or requisite. But this opportune time
husbeen went only, brutishly lost, said the

Tuesday and Wednesday, the town, was
given over to a grand Horse Fair, and some
of the finest and most valuable Stock in
'America was here. It was estimated that
there were over half a million dollars worth
of trotting stock upon the grounds of the
Orange County Pleasure Association. With-
in the stables of James W. Hoyt, Esq., a gen-
tleman of Fairfield County origin, and the
former owner and trainer of Highland Maid,
Mary Hoyt and other noted nags of the turf,
were opera hundred thousand dollars in cash
value, in less than a dozen Stalllons and Trot-
ters. No wonder the farmers of this rich
grazing region have given over the raising
of all else but colts. '
The Rysdeck Humbletonian strain seems
to transcend all other breeds and the fact
that so many have proved fast trotters, that
any ordinary horse if of‘his or his gets ‘get,
theMary Hoyt mare on the ground, which
would readily command $20,000 if hewould
sell. The dam will be remembered as hue--
ing trotted at Danbury with Flora Temple,
under the nom de plume of Widow MaChl-ee
Mr. Hoyt has a yearling horse colt, for which
$2,500 has been offered, but as he thus early
displayed extraordinary ' trotting oqualities
this enormous sum does not tempt the owner.
It is stated that Mr. Rysdeck's income from
the old Hambletonian last year, was nearly 1
$100,000, and the reader will readily com-
prehend why he refuses a standing offer of
$50,000 for the horse, even at 17years of age.
His horse last year commanded $500 per.
animal bred from him and so great was the
number of, entries, that this season he has
commanded $1,000 each.
A farmer friend here, sold a Hambteto’nian-
gelding some few months since which we
know wcconld never have got over $150 for
in .Norwalk, for $700 cash. “Blood will tell”:
in horses as in other matters as is evidenced
by this extraordinary mania for Hambleto-
Dian horses in Orange County. ' _
The track of the Association here has
been planned and laid out by some of the'
very best horse men .in the country, and
should our society ever permanently locate,
it would be worth their while. to copy after
it. It is half a mile and parallel to within
about 30 rods of either end, and this turn al-
though very shbrt, is graded up sidling very
steeply so that the horses turn with entire
ease, and on the home stretch they not on-
ly trot in a straight line but there is no ad-
vantage gained by getting the pole or inside,
of the track. The grounds are owned by a
joinbstock Company and when finished will
cost about $20,000, but that it page is evident
from the fact that the two days fair brought
in for persons and teams about $3,000.
We were glad to note one thing, for which
we learn, the oflicers have earnestly strives,
and that was, the entire absence of all pro-
fanity, drunkeness, and rowdyism,.so often
attending and disgracing such gatherings in
staid old New England. The grounds were
attended daily by large numbers of the
,most respectable ladies and gentlemen of the
neighborhood, and the chief of police and gen
eral director of the order Of the grounds was
one of the Methodist clergyman of the town.
So thatthere there is such athing as a re-
spectabk horse trot ! And this possibility
should make every decent man, who loves
the noblest of all the brute creation, the
Horse, all the more indignant at his abuse, or
the too prevalent rowdyism . that so - often
disgraceshis public exhibition.‘ ' »
From the horse and trotting Park let us
turn to another thing in which Middletown
surpasses N orwalk, although. but about half
the number of inhabitants, and that is in its
Cemetery. Like most provincial towns, it had
in former years a half dozen little unsightly
and poorly cared for burial places. Now it
has a large tract of land suflicient for its prob-
able needs for a hundred years. It is owned
by an incorporated association, and, by the
general law of New York, fifty per cent of
all sales of lots must‘go towards its preser-
vation and improvement. The plot is an
undulating piece of upland, with forest trees,
a pretty little 'pond of water and natural
knolls and ravines enough to render the im-
provements of walks and road-ways surpass-
ingly beautiful. The organization provides
for its perpetual care, and though the tract is
sufficiently large to serve all the demands for
mere burial for perhaps a century, yet as is
always the case, it is already felt that the
groundsare far too small for the full? devel-
opment of their beauty and attractiveness,
and the project is already in the minds of its
projectors Of adding another large tract, so as
to combine a sort of Central Park drive way,
and inviting place for walking and medita-
tion. The whole enterprise is just What
NOrwalk and South Norwalk most pressing-
ly need. Our town is culpably deficient in
, all that appertains to such a feature. Bridge
port, Whterbury and even Danbury ' and
Stamford have Cemeteries that put us to
-shame,~and now is the time for and Nor-
[walk to ‘atlt, before every desirable plot of
ground is monopolized by the. rapid growth
Lot 'our town. There is a coldness, an indifi'er-‘
pence for the sacred dust Of the-departed, ’
which is‘a reproach tons, and welongi’o see

.our people vindicated in this regard. There
is something else to live for other than yield?

csccndcd the mountains and attacked thousands of

Nature above their reach. Hence we are compelled
to admit that a fatal clement pervades the Universal

arms himself against malaria with this powerful de-
fensive medicine may walk a fever-scourged district
fearless of its insalubrions atmosphere. The inter-

still survive, and hold him in grateful remembrance.
After leaving Darien, he spent some time in South

were blessed'yvith interesting and powerful» revivals.
Since (then he" has been preaching in the Western
T States. ' He was a' zealous, faithful and successful
minister, and a living christian.
He died suddenly. He went out to his pasture tow-
ards evening, and not returning before dark his wife
became (alarmed, uhd'the neighbors made search for
him. After an hour’s search, he was found, lying up-
on his face, dead. It is supposed that he had a fit, or
died of heart disease. “Mark the perfect man, and
behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.”

It is a complete electro silver-plating battery in a
bottle,‘and is destined to work won era in every
household - as by its use all silver-plated were,
whose plating is worn of, can be restored to its orig-
inal beauty, and articles of brass, copper, O'erlnan
silver, etc., can be instantaneously plated with are
silver, at a cost so trifling that no family it

There are thousands of articles in daily nss‘ made
of the baeer metals, which, by an occasional use of
the Silverine may be made highly ornamental as

It is perhaps needless to say that the Silverine. as
its name implies, is a preparation ofP SILVER,
