“ :Riapid Growth of Norwalk.
Let any resident of Norwalk take aIdrive
around and about the town, and be Will be
more than surprised at the rapid growth of
the place. On all sides, new houses are be-
ing built or have just been completed, and
the number of stores and dwellings put up
idhrihg the 'past- year and now in the course
' of erection, cannot fail many short of llVe
handled. The most encouraging part Ol
theseevidenCes or thrift, and of a well to-do
' community, are that it is a solid, substorzlzal
“growth. The causes for this are manifold.
' i Norwalk presents unsurpassed attractions as
I a. 'place. of residence. Churches, schools,
"stores, and ’all‘that goes to make up an en-
; lightened and attractive home are abundapt-
1y supplied, while for business, few localities
‘ between New York and Boston offer such
substantial inducements as N orwalk. At
.. the upper or older portion of the town, we
have the motive power of Norwalk River,
and'th‘e' prestige. of many years of back coun-
. try trade, while at South Norwalk, the Crea-
' t.or,has~ forever secured for that locality the
-.-.m’ost abundant water facilities of communi-
j‘j ,cation and freightage. Whoever shall live
:1 ten years, will in our juwment, seenumbers
of the heaviest and most substantial Iron
' and other establishments of productive in-
. ‘dustry located upon its long line of dock sur-
‘ face. Yet there are a few matters of urgent,
pressing importance, that our enterprising
citizens should attentively consider. We
need and must have more houses. Neat, gen-
_tee1 homes, as well as more extended and
Cheaper, edifices. - Hours for the People and
then aplentiful supply of pure, Cold Water,
, are our twoqaramount necessities. We need
. ~u'bettcr police and watch system ; a less ex-
pensive but more responsible local govern-
" m‘ent, better sidewalks, street lamps extend*
~ ed and many other minor matters, yet these
may all be cheaply secured througha city
Charter.- Yet a city charter will not erect
houses'where our people may live, it will
not supply first or second class boarding
. houses, a dozen of both of which could and
would be filled within ~a month, if provided.
We hope to see all questions and connivan-
ceslof party politics ignored, and all our citi-
- zens unite for once, in an honest movement
‘for an economical and wise improvement of
NW, and of the greatest good to the
greatest number'of her people.

, Places to Board.
It is not only for houses in which families
.pmay live, but places where persons may
' even board, that Norwalk is becoming sadly
deficient. Almost every day some one or
more luckiess wights apply to us for infor-
. motion as to where they may get board at
Vremunerative prices and many even at ex-
ceedingly. liberal offers of ' compensation.
But we know not where to direct such en-
quirers. We believe to-day that any man or
woman who will open a commodious and
, reasonably, genteel boarding house, would
act more money the next twelve months
than any dry-goods or grocery store in town.
Why will not those who can turn their at-
tentionthereto ? '
_.~<.>o ,
lurnovaTa—LWe are glad to observe
that Col. Lockwood is repainting the outer
trimmings of his beautiful building. There
is no heater Or prettier Public Hall in any
town of equal size in America, as is conced-
ed by all our best travelled exhibitors, and
we ever tire of expressing our gratitude to
the Colonel for its erection. Our only re-
grets in bringing it to mind are that the poor,
- miserable wooden rookeries that flank it
on thewesf: have not long ere this given
place to some half way decent brick edifices
which should be both an ornament to our
village and a profit to owners. But we sup-
pose we must wait for some future “purifica-
tion by fire” before that most desirable loca-
tion of the whole village is fitly improved.

WWe are pleased to learn that our Edi-'
torial friend Holt, of the New Haven 112.11...
dlum, is to be a candidate for the Clerkship
of the House. Mr. Holt is a young gentle-
man of superior abilities and the Legislature
will be fortunate if it confers that position
upon him. Among the candidates for As-
sistant, is a young gentleman from Green-
wich in our owu county, who certainly de-
servesflor his energetic labors in the cause,
any position the Republican party can con-
fer upon him. We refer to Major H. W. R.
Hoyt. Mr. Hoyt is a young lawyer of more
than ordinary accomplishments, ready, ac-
tive and indpstrious and would make a most
capital clerk in either branch of the Legisla-
‘ ture. 'We presume that John M. Morris,
Esq, of New Haven, will be chosen clerk of
the Senate, according to _“ancient and hon-
orable usage.” He has nobly earned the po-
sition. Messrs. Legislators, please remember
theisCtive and working young men.

FATAL ACCIDENT. ——Sanl'oi-d Peck, a high-
ly esteemed citizen of Five Mile River, died
on Tuesday last of injuries received from
his own horse. He went out. on Sunday
morning about 9 o'clock to water his horse,
and was found about if o'clock lying bleed-
ing and senseless in the field, and the horse
dancing and pawiiig around him. The on-
Iflmal is supposed to have taken fright by
Mr. Peck’s hat blowing off while he was
leading him across the fields. The prints
.upon his right hand and the marks upon the
ground show that he clung to the halter and
was dragged over a space of three hundred
and fifty feet before the chain was torn from
his grasp. When found, he lay upon his
back insensible, breathing irregularly and at
long intervals, his clothes tattered and his
entire body smeared Willi dirt. Strange to
say, his face alone bore marks of bruises and
no part of his body had the appearance of
being kicked. He lingered in an uncon-
scious state till three o’clock Tuesday, when
he expired. He leaves a wife and one child
who receive the profoundest sympathy of
the entire community.

WThe treaty by which Russian America
is ceded to the United States for the sum of
seven millions of dollars, has been confirm-
ed by the Senate. ' Senators Fessenden and
Ferry were the only two who opposed it.The
Iribune Washington correspondent writes :
I “ Fessenden and Ferry made very able
speeches against the job, and fought nobly,
notwithstanding the overwhelminar Odds
against them. A number of other Eastern
Senators are known to have at one time en-
tertained the same Ideas about the matter ai
did Fessenden and Ferry, but the great
Statesbe and the Mississippi, such as Ne-
braska, evada, Oregon, .Kansas, and Min-
nesota, demanded more territory for their
crowded communities, and their appeal was
not in vain."

@Ncw- York surveyors the past week,
have been laying out Building Lots on the
grounds owned by Alderman Ely, of New
York, known as “Moss Hill," about one
fourth mile from the South 'Norwalk Depot,
on the road to Wilson’s Point. The view
from these grounds cannot be surpassed, and
an opportunity to secure ' most desirable
building sites will soon be within reach of
all, by the payment of'a small amount of
money down. At- first, we understand,
about forty lots will be sold. It is contem-
plated, also to lay out a new street from Wil-
son’s road to the old road, nearly on line of
the road which goes to Reed’s Island.

Tun DIAMOND Dreams—The greatest
literary novelty of the age, is the publication
‘of “ The Diamond Dickens,” by Messrs.
Ticknor do Fields, Boston, to which we take
pleasure in calling the attention of our read-
ers. The first number issued was “Pick-
wick Papers," the most amusing ‘of all the
works of this entertaining author,—a book
so well known and so often quoted, as to
need no commendation at this late day. Of
the matter we need say nothing. The style
small, but very clear type, on tinted paper,
the book is compressed into a compass small
enough for the pocket. It is most admirably
together this is the most attractive edition
of the works of this popular author ever is-
sued, comprising, as it does, distinctness and
elegance of print, excellent illustrations,
made expressly for this edition, tinted paper,
beautiful binding, convenient size and cheap
price, 'each vol. costing but $1.50 illustrated,
and $1.25 plain. The complete works 0f
Dickens, will be comprised in twelve or
thirteen volumes, to be issued at the rate of
one each month. We presume this edition
can be obtained at Sigllei-k's bookstore.

SCHENCK’S MANDBAKE PILL.
A Certain Cure for Diseased Liver and the
many Dangerous Maladies winch are caused
- byu morbid condition of that cry/m,
TO give the public a clear understaiidino of the
‘ mode in which SCHENCK’S Mandru 'e Pills
produce those wonderful effects which are attested by
thousands of reliable witnesses, we present a brief
DESCRIPTION OF THE HUMAN LIVER r.
and its functions. which will make the operation of
this popular medicine perceptible to every man’s un-
dcrstunding.
Thcliveris sup lied with blood vessels, nerves
and absorbnuts.- ne of its obvious uses is to se-
crete and prepare the bile. .It likewise filters the
blood and separates that fluid from all impurities.
Howjndispeusably necessary to health is the roper
erformaucc of this function i If the liver is faces-
81, it cannot purify the blood, and if that is sent
back through the lungs, brain and other parts in a
morbid condition, it must cause jaundice, bilions-
ncss, obstruction of the kidneys. rave], and many
other complaints more or less pain of and dangerous
but the least of them quite enough ' to make a man
sick and uncomfortable, and um t for the perform-i
ance of any of the duties of life. This unhealthy state
of the system very often ends in pulmonary con-
sumption. . ' ,, _
The circulation of the blood is conducted in this
manner— The heart sends the vital current down
through the arteries; it passes through the flesh ta-
king'up all. impurities in its progress; then the
stream of blood flows backward through the veins,
and passes to the liver to be purified. t is im ossi-
hle to cure consum tion, scrofula, or scarce yany
other kind of ulcerat on while that important organ,
the liver, is diseased. . It Is for that reason that ‘ reg-
ular lphysicians"_ rarely cure consumption. They
usual y be in their treatment with the use of some
'cough-me lclne,’ the basis -ofwbichis morphin or
opium in some shape, which looks up the liver in-
stead of relaxing the _secretIons giving a tone to the
stomach, and producmgaheult y flow of bile. Dr.
Schenck s -
Pulinom‘c Syrup, Seaweed Ionic, and Man-
drake Pills
will strengthen the system purify the blood, and ri-
pen and heal ulcers on the III] s.
