Our Corporate Charter.
There is source a locality in the country so
deficient in WATER as Norwalk, and of
SOUTH Nonwamr is this most especially the
case. That this thrifty and rapidly growing
portion of Norwalk has not been swept by a
dev'sstating' confiagration is due more 10
good fortune than to any preventive fore-
sight, Wbichfhas provided means for Its con—
trol or exting'uishment in event of such dress
for. » It is mainly to provide a tangible and
effectual means of securing an abundant sup-
ply 'of' Warns for Family, Mechanical.
Healthful. Protective and Ornamental pur-
poses, that We have so earnestly espoused
the propos‘itiOn of a city charter. Upon tull
examination, it is evident no other system of
local government will so econom‘ ally secure
the one great need. We are glad to hear of
but slight opposition to the movement, and
rejoice that Winnipauk, not originally con-
templated as being embraced within the hm-
its, desirei'tb be included. We are entirely
certain that any one now opposed, will form-
the project if he will give the question a fair
and unbiased examination. There were
many of our best citizens who resolutelyop-
posed the horse Railroad, yet who is there to-
day who. does not see and appreciate its
great local advantages to both sections of our
town. The same is, and will be, true of the
city government- The two sections of the
town are now indissolubly identified in all
paramount local interests. They have liter-
ally grown together, and any separation
would be as fatal to both as severing the lig-
atures of the Siamese twins. The towu and
city should unite in the joint erection of a
creditable edifice, midway between the cen-
ters of the two localities. Our present Town
House is not only a discredit to us. but is se-
riously inconvenient of access to a large por-
tion of our people, and it should be sold and
something‘ino're in keeping with the rapid
growth of and-enterprise of our people, erect-
ed on West Avenue. .
We hear that some of our friends at South
Norwalk prefer a Borough charter for them-
selves. We csn assure all such from a sad
experience, that they, could not wall involve
themselves in a greater local misery.
We urge the calling of a public meeting
both at South Norwalk and at the Bridge for
a free and fair interchange of opinion upon
the subject It is a matter in which every
well wisher of Norwalk is specially and indi_
vidually interested.
. In the single matter of insurance, other
towns have saved their citizens fifty per
cent. of former" premiums. In Household
consumption of water, few wells can be con,
structed, or eVen kept in repair, so cheaply
as it may be furnished by Water Works.
Revenue from its Bonds, if owned by the city,
ought to defrayiull one quarter of all local
outlays in addition to paying interest upon
its cost. ' We repeat, in every view of the
case, we believe our local prosperity is to be
greatly enhanced. Our town rendered more
inviting to strangers, our business interests
and establishments multiplied, and our peo-
ple made more secure and comfortable by the
proposed municipal organization.

Dnowrtnn.—A bright little son of Richard
Nesbitt or Winnipauk, aged six years, was
drowned in the race-way at the New Mills
on Saturday feet, under peculiarly painful
circumstances. The father, who had charge
of the water gate, went to start the wheel af-
ter dinner and raising the apron, which
caused a movement of the water, the lifeless
form and face of his little boy came bub-
bling up before the parent’s eyes. The child
had been seen by the mother playing about
the bank of the stream onlya few minutes
before the sad event. He was buried Sun-
day. Peace rest with the stricken parents.

The management of this vast and hitherto
independent, if not insolent, corporation,
evidently begin to perceive a “lImILI-wrlting
upon the wall.” Not only have HIP-y wrriv-
ed their previous custom so far as to estab—
lish a new station at Rowayton, but they
have njadc an express to Stamford (ll. ler
4.30 p. or. train connecting here with the
Danbury train and thus saving some fifteen
or twenty minutes in the arrival of the Dan-
bury passengers in the evening. Now this
is the way to conducl n growl interest, de-
pendent as it is upon tildpnptllur' favor for
its pecuniary success. No i'mttl has probably
ever suffered more in the good furling of the
public than this great corporation, and sini-
ply for its utter indifierence to the public
convenience or the public interests. We
hope to see its management still further im-
proved by a wholesome change in its Direc-
tors. No other road in the country toler-
ates so mauy filthy and ill-ventilated cars.
A few if is true, are of the new, raised roof,
or “double deck” cIaSs so common on all oth-
er roads, but the great majority of its cars
are still of the old low-roofed style. A few
dollars expense would render them healthy
and comfortable.
A law of the last Legislature requirgs
them to keep score sort of apron between
the cars While the trains are in motion.
Those who travel on the road know that a
compliance With this law is cxceptiouuhle.
The salaries paid its conductors are uiggard-
ly and mean, and if they do not steal it is be-
cause their integrity is proof against the
company’s parsimony. A man with charac-
ter and capacity enough to have in his
charge thousands oi‘doilars of stockholders
money and the lives of' numberless passen-
gers, injury to whom may involve a loss of
untold amounts, surely is not the man who
ought to be paid ten or twelve hundred dol-
lars a year. But this is a matter with which
the public have .less to do than 'with the fit-
ful imposition of a fine of five cents upon-
auy belated traveller who does not purchase
a ticket at the office, ill-ventilated cars :
filthy and absolutely indecent saloons for la-
dy passengers ; eXorbitant rates of fare; ill-
mannered and insolent employees, speaking
unknown tongues, who binder and insult
passengers in and about their New York De-
pot; with continued and perverse indiffer-
ence to the interests of the people of the
State which has conferred upon it such ex-
clusive and valuable corporate privileges.
They have erected a commodious and
really beautiful station house at Stamford
and we are soon tO' have another here. For
this all thanks, and we doubt not that every
Connecticut stockholder, hitherto so power-
less to improve the management of this vast
corporation, will heartily rejoice with us at
every manifestation of improvement, and
most cheerfully accord praise whenever and

The New irarrroad Station.
On Monday, April 15, the Norwalk Spec-
ial train of the N. Y. S: N.H. R. R. 00.,
Stopped for the first time at the new station
of Rowiiyton, midway between Daricn and
Norwalk, and the event was deemed by the
good people of the place of so much inter-
est and importance, to them, at least. tlm'
they got up a notable and very pleasant... l.
bration. The platform only being finished,
a large tent was erected on the grounds, in
which refreshments were freely and liberally
served by a committee of ladies ; flags and
banners were displayed; Dodworth’s band,
from New York, playing sweet melodies,
making a tour around the village, crossing
the river in boats, from which their pleasant
notes echoed to a great distance; and the
people. men, women, and children, left their
plows, oyster-boats, daires, and school desks,
and had a good time generally.
At two o‘clock, Col. Colyer, chairman of
committee, called , the meeting to order; Mr.
G. P. Putnam was-elected Chairman and Mr.
Chasmar Secretary. Resolutions were adopt-
ed, as follows :- .
Resolved, That the thanks of the people of
Roton are especially due, and are hereb
tendered to the Directors of the New Yor
and New Haven Railway Co.,'for the consid-
erate and obliging manner in which they
have responded to our application for a Rail-
road Station at this R‘lace.
Resolved, That to r. J. H. Hoyt, Superin—
tendent of the N. Y. & N. H. R. R. Co., and
Mr. Godfrey, we are also under special obli-
gations for the attentive and liberal manner
in which they have carried out this decision
in our favor, and hi the interest they have
taken in the successful propressdof our enter-
prise and the celebration of this fiirst land
mark in the new travelling facilities of our
community.
Rev. Mr. Day offered lire following, which
was enthusiastically mlopl ed :—
Resolved That while the thanks of all this
cOmmunity are d or: to the gentlemen of the
committee, who have hrborcd to secure for
this place, the great advantage of a Railroad
Station, yet we feel that we owe a special
debt of ratitude to our respected towns—
man Mr. incent Col er, for the very able,
zealous and perseve ng manner, in which
he has labored, as Chairman of that commit-
tee, to secure this result, and that our heart-
felt thanks are hereby tendered him with our
best wishes for his prosperity and happiness.
Rousing cheers were given for Mr;~Ho t,
Mr. Godfrey and t e Railway Directors; a so
fOr Col. Coiyer on for Mr. J. F. Cropsey,
the famous artist, of New York, (designer of
the Station,) who was present and modestly
acknowledged the compliment.
At 3-20 the Norwalk train with three ex-
tra cars received some 250 of the people, in-
cluding a large number of ladies, for a free
excursion to Stamford, as. the guests of the
Railway 00., or at least, of Mr. Hoyt. At
Stamford the Rowaytoners marched in pro-
cession with flags and banners, to Hoyt’s
Hall, where on being seated, they were ad-
dressed by the Mayor, 001. Jones, in a geni-
al speech of welcome. Col. Coiyer respond-
ed on behalf of the Rowaytoners in some
explanatory remarks, humorously, and eio~
quently alluding to the past, present and
future of Rowayton, and the capability of the
place, which has been so well sketched by
the Mayor. Rev. Arthur Day, of Rowayton,
on being called upon, made an interesting
and able address. Mr. G. P. Putnam, at the
request of the committee, read the resolu-
tions which had been adopted at Rowayton,
thanking Mr. Godfrey, Mr. Hoyt and the Di-
rectors, and also the vote of thanks to Col.
Colyer—wbo was Warmly eulogized by the
speaker for his unliring energy in this and
other good works—energy which had been
developed and systematized in his case as
in the Mayor’s, by the arduous experience
acquired in their valuable services during
the late war. '
Mr. Godfrey, one of the Railway Directors
who was specially complimented in the res-
olution of thanks, made an excellent and
suggestive address in reply ; welcoming
Stamford’s eldest daughter, who had “just
come out.” for a visit to her venerable parent
after a small trap of 220 years.
The Rowaytoners were then regaled with
refreshments, provided by Mr. Hoyt, and re-
turned to their pleasant little village by the
next train evidently well pleased with their
holiday, and with the fatherly and motlrerly
receptions they had met With.
A little hand-bill was printed for circula'
tion giving some of the facts in regard to
the name of the place, and the incidents about
the station. The inscriptions on the banners
Were as follows :—

The people of Norwalk Owe you a
debt of gratitude for the public spirit of your
exertions to promote the interests of our
beautiful town. The cncomiums which
your columns have lavished upon her natur-

somewhat exaggerated; while ungenerous

around us. I know the difficulties that at-
tend such movements. I know that abso-
lute success could hardly be less than a mir-
acle; but I am equally sure that a movement
pringing from aChristiarr cornmunit y bowed
in grief over their own errors, and over the
moral woes around them—a movement
started in the strength of Christ, and for His
glory—could not hill of a blessed consum-
