. In this connection we presume that we
shall not betray confidence or improperly
reveal, what 111$ hitherto been purposely
kept from the public, if we speak of another
noble enterpriSe, born solely and cntzrely of a
generous desire to beautify and bless our
town, and the reception its public avowal has
excited. We refer to the grand and muniti-
cent conception of a noble nature, which
sought to confer upon the people Of Norwalk
a large tract of land, beautifully located and
easily combining the features of both a rural
Park for the living and a Cemetery for the
dead. Its extended area should ensure its
being self-sustaining and self-perpetuating
for all coming time.
The tract was settled upon. Its location
peculiarly romantic and beautiful. Its ac-
eessible points remarkably convenient to all
sections of the town. In fine, the enterprise
in all its magnitude was launched,and imme-
diately upon its denoument what do we
find? If not selfishness and avarice assail-
ing at every point, at least, such awant of
popular co-operation, or even apparent ap~
preciation and interest, as would discourage
any one of ordinary fortitude and purpose.
We speak these words in no spirit of cap-
tions faultfinding. We do it to express our
sorrow and regrets that such a temper rules
the life and actions of so large a number of
our people. “There is that withholdcth
more than is meet, but it tendeth to pover-
ty."

Onr Supplement.
With this number of our paper we issue a
half-sheet supplement containing fourteen
columns of reading matter and local adver-
tisements. We do this in order to make up,
partly, for the extra space occupied recently
by our advertisers.
In our Supplement will be found copious
extracts from the Sermon preached before
the Young Men‘s Christian Association, by
Rev. Mr. Gates, at the Baptist Church, May
15th. These extracts have been obtained at
the request of several gentlemen who heard
the sermon, and we advise all our readers
who did not hear it to give it an attentive
perusal.
The ancient ballad of, “Cheevy Chacc” we
copy from a manuscript presented us more
than a year ago by Mr. Shaw, of the Classic-
al Institute, and found by him among other
papers in an old house in Massachusetts, and
which we have been unable, heretofore, to
print for.wunt of space. Since this copy has
been in our possession, the ballad has been
printed in book form by a Boston house, and
in the Riverside Magazine for April and May.
A short story will also be found in the extra,
and the annual report of the Norwalk Bible
Society will be found on our first page.

even Norwalkcrs, Canaanitcs and the Isth-

Committe have secured the special attraction
of a visit from Hon. HORACE GREELEY, who
will inaugurate the Lyceum by a popular
Lecture on Thursday evening, May 23d.—
The lecture will be at the church; tickets
25 cents, sold wholly for the benefit of the
Lyceum. After the lecture, Mr. Greeley
will be received at the Lyceum. We learn
that the institution is not quite so large as
the Boston Atheneum or the Library of
Congress, but it is 51 ug and suitable, and
forms a very worthy addition to the attrac-
tions of Rowayton and its “Bathing, Bass,

tive to its extent and intrinsic merits. Its

for the reason that it possesses all the re-
quirements for giving the public a complete
Animal to Bird Show, presenting to the peo-
plc a variety of living creatures which have
.never before been exhibited in the United
States. There are among the features a pair
of real Chetah, or Hunting Leopard, an Ab-

:1 Nyl Gan, a White Peacock, a Zebra, a
Black Ostrich, a pair of Axis Deer, a Hin-

is with this concern. There are eight Lions,
a pair of Bengal Tigers, also among the
specimens. Prof Langworthy, the “Lion

arena are said to be of a very chaste and un-

corporation took place at New Haven on the
16th inst. The occasion drew together a.
very large number of Stockholders, not the
least prominent, among whom, were Hort-
ACE F. CLARK, (son-in-law of Conxnnms
VANDnnmLT.) and Wu. D.Brsnor,tbc hum-
ble servant and chief fugleman of the fore-
going great railroad monopolist. \\ .
There were two parties it} the field. T" '
names on the ticket of one, were mosh y
gentlemen living upon the line of the road,
owning largely of the stocks, and traveling
constantly Over the road, familiar with all
its wants and interests. The wishes of the
men on this ticket were to inaugurate such
reforms as would render this hitherto unfor-
tunate and grossly mismanaged concern,
popular with the traveling public and profi-
able to its owners, a condition of things
which,“ it iswell known, has not hitherto
been attained.
The other ticket embraced all the old Di-
rectors, most of them very respectable old
gentlemen residing in New York, who sel-
dom, if ever, pass over the road. Indeed, it
is stated that one of them has not been on
the road during the past fifteen years!
The parties were pretty evenly matched
in strength upon arrival at New Haven the
evening previous to the meeting, with the
probabilities of the Reform Party, holding
the greatest number of votes. Vanderbilt's
two manipulators, Bishop and Clarke, were
not long in discerning the situation, and de-
termining upon the necessary course for them
to pursue, in order to put this company also,
under the iron heel of this Railroad King,the
very shadow of whom. has hitherto fright-
ened the old Board out of all propriety. But
the Vanderbilt part y mutt-oiled votes enough
(with the Hartford & New HaVOD Railroad
influence, also under his control), to turn the
election for or against either ticket. The old
Board saw the desperate straights to which
they were reduced and instead of surrender-
ing honorably and manfully to what they
could not help, fiunked in the face of the eu-
emy, madeterms with Vanderbilt, accepting
all his imperious conditions, in order that
they might eke out another brief year of of;
ficial existence. One of the significant cou-
dltious acceded to in this” betrayal of their
trust, or cowardly “selling out" to Vander-
bilt, by the old Board, was the putting of
Bill Bishop on the ticket with the pledge of
conferring upon him its Presidency, a bar-
gain already consummated. '
The Reform Ticket could have succeeded,
bad they been willing to surrender this road
and all its valuable franchises into the hands
of Vanderbilt. ‘
This isashort history of the contest at
New Haven last Tbursdayas witnessed by
ourselves But the end is not yet. The old
Board after squanderiug the money of the
stockholders by the hundreds of thomandc, in
litigation, lobbying, (half of which sums, had
it been spent for decent cars and good sta-
tion houses would have rendered this the
most popular road in the country) will soon
find that they have not made their bed in ro-
ses. They have surrendered to an import;
one master who will not hesitate or delay to
assert his arrogance and power, and we wish
them joy at thier nuptial feasts. After per-
mitting robberies without number and of
vast amounts by supply agents and others,
employing underlings, ill-bred and ignorant,
often unable to articulate our mother tongue
except in blasphemies, and remarkable al-
ways for incivility and dirty faces, it - is not
to be wondered that the people of Connects-
cut, tired of this insolence and disobliging
spirit, have determined upon and rendered
and competing railroad‘to New York. And
to cap the climax of personal degradation,
we now have the lamentable spectacle of
these miserable managers, handing over the
road to their traditonal enemy Vanderbdt, to
save their own more miserable necks.
This, we opine, will prove the straw to
break the elephant’s back. Let the few Con-
necticut stockholders transfer their interests
to the new road and let it be built at once.

Mr. Street moved to reconsider the motion
carried yesterday ordering one thousand cop-
ies to be printed ,of the , report of Messrs.
Welcb, White and Bolter, on the account of
State Treasurer Coite. He gave as a reason
that therejwere charges in the report which
had been examined into since the report had
been made, and found incorrect. but the
report had done great injustice to Mr. Coite.
He would _ further-state that Mr. Coite had
expressedia; desire to come before the Fi-
nance Committee and make some explana-
tion, and the committee would probably give
him a hearing: _'-‘ He thought the matter
. should be reconsidered and referred to the
Finance Committee. When that committee
reported he should move to have the report
tinted, with ali‘the accompanying papers.
e thought' this course would bring the
whole matter before the Senate, and at the
same time be (let'sli'rfigl fairly by Mr. Coite.
Mr. Giangerbaid e did not desire to take
any advantage ‘ofgthe late Treasurer. 'The
documentstransmttted to the Senate ester-
day, with ncom‘munication from the over-
nor, were, as he understood it, ofilclal papers,
and it was ,ropcrvthlt the report should be
printed. ' e tbbught the matter should not
be reconsidered, but that the report should
be printed-bud distributed to the Assembly
for the use of the members.
Mr. Street s tid'thc written report is wron ,
and there had been" verbal statements ma e
before the committee, by the auditors who
had not had s-im'é‘to write them out, one of
flu-m havin since his appointment moved
out. of the tale. ‘ He came from New Jer-
sey for the purpose of attending to this ban-
iness, and was anxious to return, and had
only time‘to make a verbal statement to the
committee where the discovery of inccrrect
statements in the. written report had been
made. ‘ The'fiaauce committee desired to
have this matter a sin before them. .
The motion of I. Street prevailed, and
the report will not be printed at present. On
motion of Mr. Gallup the whole matter was
then referred to the Finance Committee.
HoosngePrayer by Rev. Mr. Tullman of
Thompson. ,
Once more the House took up the resold-
tion authorizing the Fairfield county agri-
cultural society to buy land for a permanent
locatiori of theirfairs at Norwaik.
Mr. Genes of Litchfield, moved to amend

pr esent market value.
Mr. Woodward of Norwalk gave further
explanations, and suggested that the limit of
$25,000 Would be better. Accepted by Mr.
Graves. ' -
The amendment was adopted; and the
resolution as amended was passed.

'I‘o Du. Ilosru'r'rntt :
Dear Sir :—This is to certify that I was taken
with the dyspepsia Ind/car ago last March, and for a
period of eight months, was one ofthc most miserable
creatures you ever bclleldmot bcingublc either to eat-
drink or sleep, and was compelled to walk the floor
incessantly. I was nearly deprived of my reason,
and hope had entirely lcft Inc, all the efforts made
for my recovery having proved fruitless.
Ry the first of November, 1805, l had become so
weak and feeble that I could sturcely stand alone,
and, to nllupprarancc, would soon die. At this time
(having read your advertisement.) my wife prevailed
upon me to try your Bitters. A bottle was procured
and, strange to say. I soon commenced recovering.
I have taken four bottles. and am enjoying as good
health now as could be expected for one of my age
(about sixty years). I have no doubt that it was your
Bitters nlone, under Divine Providence, that effected
this wonderful cure. R. T. FLUA LIN.
