City Charter Meetings.
We hope our citizens, of every shade of
opinion and politics, interested .111 the prog-
pcrity of Norwalk, will make It a point to
attend the public meetings called In the In
terest of a city charter. We believe that all
opposition to the movement will vanish 1n
the mind of any man who will inform h1m-
self upon the subject. .
Then let a “CITIZEN’s TICKET,” composed
of the purest and best men, irrespective of
party, be selected, and for once, an honest
effort made for the best interests of Norwalk.

ACCIDENT.—MI‘. James Wiseman, 'Jr.,
met with a serious accident, at the Straw Hat
Factory. on Tuesday last. While sawing
boards with a circular saw, driven byjsteam,
the saw struck a hard knot, knocking the
board round, and throwing it with much vio-
lence against his hip and stomach, wounding
him dangerously. Hopes are now entertain-
ed of his recovery.

Moms BURGLARIES.—-We had supposed
that the detection, arrest and conviction of
the boys recently “sent up” for burglaries,
would have put a stop to that crime in this
vicinity, for months to come. But it seems
that more examples are yet needed, On
Friday evening last, the house of Mr. David
Bennett, near the Union Factory, was en-
tered through the back door, by force, and
robbed of jewelry, '&.c., to the amount of
about $40. The same night a house on
Chapel'street, occupied by two young girls,
was entered and robbed of $12 in money,
which the girls had saved out of their scanty
earnings, and put aside towards the support
of an afflicted mother; they also wantonly
destroyed the papers of their father who was
killed in the war. We trust our officers will
be on the alert, and that the perpetrators of
these petty burglaries may soon be sent to
keep company with the others in Wetbers—
field orMeriden. '

Supt. of Highways has concluded most of

Mr. Holhster as unwise. If the Senate

The New York Circus.
This establishment, which is to be in Nor-
walk on Tuesday of next week, is one which
presents unusual attractions, and from the
high reputation w.tich the troupe has gained
in the city of New York, where it is perma-
nently located, there can be no doubt that
visitors will find much in the performances
to command there wonder and admiration.
The Hippotheatron building in Fourteenth
street, where the company is now perform-
ing, closes for the season on Saturday night,
and the management announce that the en-
tire troupe which has been playing in New
York will takepart in the exhibition in this
place. As the New York papers have fre-
quently stated that the entertainments given
by Mr. Lent during the past winter have been
city, it is not unreasonable to anticipate some-
thing a good deal superior to the ordinary run
of traveling circuscs. This establishment is
especially noted for the care exercised by the
management to fulfil the requirements of a
refined taste, and to avoid all features of an
objectionable tendency. No side shows are
allowed with the New York Circus, for
which the public have reason to be grateful.

A City Charter.
On Wednesday next our Senators and Rep-
I‘Cscntafivcs will be convened in General
Assembly, at Hartford. Already, those who
are to represent us in our State Legislature
hear about upon their countenances expres-
sions of worldly wisdom and profound judg-
nrcnt,indieativc of thc numerous“bc it conci-
cds” that are to stand upon our Statute-Ln " '
asimperishable memorials of their states-
manship and testimonials of their faithful-
ness to the interests of their constituents.
The coming session will be one of deep im-
portance. Its proceedings, debates and on
actmeuts will be closely followed and care-
fully scrutinized by the public. The vast
amount of business in the form of petitions
for bridges, railroad charters, city incorpo-
rations, numberless prayers for the extension
of powers and privileges to private corpora—
tions, with the attendant lobbying and but-
ton-holing which serve from year to year to
swell the membership of the “third house,”
will all combine‘to render the State House
the centre of hustle and excitement, even
when strictly political questions'shall have
been passed by or settled. Even Fairfield
County promises well to see to it that our
wise-acres pay for their well-deserved honors,
in the labor to be required at their hands for
this section of our Commonwealth. In view
of this pressure of business,'occasioning as it
must a conflict of interests, it behooves the
good people of Norwalk to awake to the
necessity of prompt, energetic, and harmoni-
ous action concerning their desired and much
needed City Charter. '
It is very well, and perhaps legal and prop:
er, to draw up a petition setting forth a few
facts it may he as in 1.he_growing necessity of
a more complete and systematic organization
to control our lmvu' affairs It is an easy
matter to‘ obtain signatures thereto and to
parade in the columns of a newspaper a list
of names in fine print, many of whose poa-
scssors ordinarily are only to happy to he
considered of consequence enough in the
community to be solicited to attach them-
selves to any such imposing document, and
who most cheerfully give their names to
the petition net knowing nor caring whether
they are signing a petition for the appoint-
ment of {.1 committe to visit small pond
request aremoval of his head-quarters into_
amore remote section of the town, or for
the granting of an injunction against the in-
crease of an oyster-bed in Long Island
Sound. Along comes the petitmn and down
goes “our mark.” But if this is to be the
maximum of our efforts in this matter we
shall furnish petitions to the columns of the
Gazette for years to come. Men of Nor-
walk, you who have or ought to have an in-
terest here, will you secure a City Charter ?
You can obtain it if you will. You possess
all the necessary qualifications; you can
send up all requisite credentials in the form
of incontrovertable facts and undeniable
statembnts. Will'you do it ?
There is not a city in the Commonwealth
that was not incorporated with fewer inhab-
itants within its limits than the designated
city borders of Norwalk will embrace. No
city of the State has been granted a. charter
that encased more extensive and promising
avenues of trade and industry. Its manu-
facturing interests are spreading out on every
side with a rapidity hardly realized by our
citizens. Its business, thrift and tact; its
natural resources of wealth; its undiscov-
ered mines of revenue 2 the enterprising, ac-
tive and comparatively unselfish public-spir-
it pervading its chain of villages; the gener.
a1 wealth of the people,,their general in-
tclligence and mental culture, their elevated
and refined taste, their bread, progressive
and liberalizing views upon all moral- ques-
tions, and the predominance of the spirit and
energy of “Young America” have placed
Norwalk higher up in the scale of human
progress than any unincorporated place in the
State and even beyond some that take pride
in a city charter. Indeed, so marked is this
fact that it was a common remark in other
sections of the State, during the late war,
that Gov. Buckingham know only two pla-
ces in the State—Norwich and Norwalk. I
am inclined to think that we at home are so
intent upon our business cares, so eager to
“make the machine move” with precision
and with its utmost speed, that we do not
appreciate our velocity is unequalled by those
of equal size. There isn‘t a. doubt Norwalk
can present to thcqlcgislature a stronger
claim for corporate c arter, more assuring
tokens of rapid growth and necessary pros-
perity than any like petitioners have ever
presented. '
Meriden, a thriving village of only a few
more inhabitants than Norwalk, which has
not even been the happy recipient of the
few blessings which drop from aborough
government, such as street-lamps at inter-
vals of half amile, more or less; a den in
the bowels of the earth for the incarceration
of criminals; narrow side-walks and oth;
er like accessories, and between whose two
jealousy; even Merideu will out-strip us in
gaining a charter unless we attend to this
matter at once.
We fearfully need public Water Works.
How shall we obtain them ? The town
cannot and will not appropriate money for
this purpose. Private individuals will dis.
play a nature somewhat above the common
grade of human kind er’e they will feel
prompted to such a deed of common charity.
Let us have them under and with the city
charter. By accurate computation, thou-
sands of dollars now paid for insurance
Would be saved, for the greater the scarcity
of water in such a place the greater the lia-
bility of loss by fire and the higher the rates
of insurance. Expand the money that would
be thus saved, for the payment of city taxes,
The herculcan efforts of firemen will avail
nothing without a plentiful supply of water
to. check the devouring elements, so do not
rest securely since we have an energetic and
well-organized fire department. A plenti.
ful supply of living, pure, healthful water
would do more than any other material to
promote the longevity of the people and to
check the inroads of disease. In this all
should be interested."
In regard to the taxes, an item that does
such a powerful sight to bring on the “blind
staggers," and at the very mention of which
some men’s faces will blanch with fear. It
is a settled fact that there isn’t a property-
holdcr in any town in the: State who does
not pay heavier taxes in proportion to the
benefits received than the city tax-payer.
SuppOse you do pay a heavier lax, isn’t the
value of your property increased in a far
greater ratio ? Don’t you know that the in-
stant a city government is put into perfect
operation your lands are enhanced in Value;
your tenements command a higher rent;
with the increased in flux of'populution, prop—
erty becomes more valuaI-Ie and it 15 one
of the principles of political economy, the
more people there are to the square mile,
the higher price will that square mile com-
mand in the market. We have. the figures
to show that this outcry about taxes is all
bugaboo. We need a different police govern-
ment ; the present police are vigilant, ar-tch
and deserving of credit, but they need pro-
motion. We want more sysmn. in this
particular; there are too few oi'thcuz. We
want to see fewer l‘ngamnfllns lounging
about the streets on the Sabbath, blocking up
the corners of the Avenues, insulthf’g Indies
while passing to and from Church. We J
villages there exists an intense and bitter.
.want to hear fewer bacchanaiian yells, less '
shouts and clutter of (Bones) that are 11111 king i
night hideous, and which will be increased 3
during the genial Summer evenings that ;
are now hastening 011. We wauta more ef-I ;
ficicnt police system, which can only be se-
curcd under a city charter. -
We want more street lamps upon streets
1 s'r-itlliii‘i‘l to be lighted, and to intro-
dark-
.,,,.._.
ducc them into streets now sitting in
ncss. We want a better system of sewer-
age; a more complete drainage; nice, level
sidewalks where there is now an entire lack,
and an improvement upon those we now
have ; we want to prevent grasping men
from pushing their buildingsevcn a little
into the street thereby narrowing the side
walk. In fine, we want a host of out-door
conveniences and comforts which will adorn
and beautify, and will serve to carry out the
design of“ nature-in leaving its beautiful im-
press here, but which will come only with a
city charter.
Will you have it then, men of Norwalk?
The result is with you. There Isn’t a city
in the Union that would vote to return to a.
borough organization. Do you not feel safe
then in trying the experiment. It surely
cannot be a hazardous undertaking. Every
lady will be blessed by it and be thankful
the step was taken.
Now what is to be done. Let us have im-
mediate] y a meeting at the Bridge and one
at South Norwalk. Let every man in favor
of enhancing our material prosperity and of
fostering the growth of the place, be present
at either one of these meetings, let this mat-
ter of obtaining a city ‘ciiairter be thoroughly
ventilated] in a free discussion, then if you
find it feasible to take action, appoint acom-
mittce at each meeting-to solicit names to be
sent to the Legislature, then let these com-
mittees appoint a sub-committee which shall
be authorized by the town to push the peti-
tion through the General Assembly and you
will get the charter. .. . . '
We simply want prompt energetic, syste-
matic-action and success is certain. Will
you do it citizens of Norwalk ? I. B.

James Parton of the invention of the Sew-
ing Machine, and the difficulties and delays
in securing their introduction to use, due.
He says thdt “gentlemen best acquainted
with the business compute that the whole
number of sewing machines made in the
United States 11p to the' close of the year
1866 was about seven hundred and fifty
thousand. During the quarter ending Dec.
10, 1866, the number of machines made by
licensed companies, as reported by them to
Elias Howe, was 52,219. This is above the
rate of‘200,000 per annum. Mr. Howe is of
opinion that about half as mapy more are
produced by unlicensed makers; including
the Yankees who, driven by the combination,
have set up their factories on the other side
of the Canada.” If his conjecture is correct,
we are, now producing the astounding and
almostincrcdibie number of one thousand
sewing machines every working day at an
average cost to the purchaser of sixty dol-
lars each.

WThcre are two famous J. D.’s in the
land. One of them is in Fortress Monroe,
and the p'lher‘hus got himSeii into a , place
about: pstight. James Dixon asserted in
the United States Senate, the other day, that
he had never been innitia'ed into a Know
Nothing council. Several gentlemen have
called at this office within a few days to state
they were present in a Kuow-Nothingcoun-
oil on the occasion of the voracious Senator's
initiations,‘and heard him take the obliga-
tions. This little event, which has escaped
J. D.’s memory—how singular that so hon-
orable a man‘should have SO treacherous a
memory! etook place on the 19111 of No-
vember.~,'1855. But we have still more note-
worthy evidence. Any pcrson,—-1i there
be any such-pvho is sufficiently interested
in J. D. to take the trouble can see at the
counting-room off the Com-ant the old rec-
ords-of the Kn'ovaothing council in question
with the name of James Dixon among the
list of members, written with his cum hand.
Facile as J. D. is in the practice of many
questionable urts,.wo don‘t believethat he is
skillful enough‘to forge his own name I Ev-

An Efi’ectual Worm Medicine.
BROWN’S VERMIPUGB COMPITS,
On Worm LozENeEs. Much sickness undoubtedly,
with children and adutts, attributed to other causes
is occasioned by worms. ’ The “ VEnnrr-uen Corr-
st," although effectual in destroying worms. can
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.
CHILDREN HAVING Worms require Immediate at-
tention, as neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness. ,
'Snrr-Tons or Worms IN CmLDnEN are often over-
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use of
a sure remedy. The combination of ingredients
used in making Brown’s “ Vermifuge Camille" is
such as to give the best possible effect with safety.
