The City (Elton-ter age; i ‘21.
We have received tho iollowingcommuni—
milioll from an ostrelncd correspoiulclil. in
South Norwalk.
SOUTH Nonwamr, May Bid, 1867
Mu. llviNo'roN :—
Tlie \Vorkingmeli of South Nor-
walk, and also of the upper village. have read
with interest your leaders on a City Charter.
andare glad to notice the concessiqn which
we have clailned“that the rich man s proper-
ty is to be made more valuable}: But the
question which most interests 113, IS, how it ill
it be for us, or men of moderate nieus. pr
will it benefit as, in a greater proportion
than the increase of taxes ? For instance, I
own'a house which cost me say Four Thou-
sand Dollars, on which the tax nowis about
Twenty Dollars ; under a City Charter, in a
rear or two, the taxes will be increased to
Sixty Dollars: being a mechanic I earn no
more than now. How will it. benefit me or
those situated like me to pay Silt-(y Dollars
taxes, instead of Zwenty? I may anticipate
your reply, for the assertion was made by
General Ferry that the property will lint-reuse
in mine; admit it but as these houses are
ulll‘ homes for us and our children, how are
we to be bencjilfed by paying Sixty instead of
Twenty Dollars taxes? No, sir, the great
benefit will be to the rich at our, expense.
Some say, well then sell out, and go back a
little, if you cant afford to keep your house.
We say No, we want our homes, but do not
want to pay the rich man's taxes.
Let us have an answer and oblige your
subscriber. ' J. C-
The danger of increased taxation is the.
chief objection urged against. the Charter-
ll’e' do not believe that the I'XiSlL’llCO of the
additional corporate powers proposed in the
application for a charter necessarily involves
any payment of a larger amount of taxes by
the individual citizen. Neither do we believe
that a greatergross amount of taxes will be
needful ‘under a city organization than at'
the present time.
» But, it is true, that in South Norwalk, cs-
pizcially there isa necessity for expenditures
in establishing the lines of streets and high-
ways, in making sidewalks and providing
for lighting streets at night, in a more effect-
ual police system, in securing the public
health, and in the removal of nuisances.
the people of that locality, for instance, de-
ii'e the cessation of fever and agile by the
removal of the stagnant pond near the R. R.
Station, it will cost something to secure that
end. The town might attend to all these
things, but it would cost as much as it the
city were to do it. If they are to be left un-
done for the sake of avoiding expense, then,
so far, acity charter is needless. For our-
selves we should prefer a moderate addition-
al tax to narrow streets, crowded sidewalks,
insufficient police, and lever and aguc.
Oui- correspondent _ concedes a rise in the
Value of property. This, of course, will les-
sen the percentage of taxation. If his place
now worth $4,000, now pays 9520 tax, it will
require a less per centagc on $6,000, to raise
the same amount. And, even if the needinl
expenditure requires the same per ccntage
on $6,000, so as to raise from his property
the sum of $30 tax, the question is, do not
the increased comforts of life in addition to
the value of property, make it worth while
to pay the addition? We could all live in
>lllll9, and go about our daily vocations by
foot. paths, and depend upon ourselves for
protection, without magistrates or police, at
a cheap rate; is it worth while to go back to
this, to escape taxation. If we are to have
the ordinary public advantages, which are
considered necdful in large communities in
the present stage of civilization, we must
doubtless pay something for them; and ex-
perience has shown that they cannot be ob-
tained, even by paying for them, so well in
a town as in a city organization.
As for the particular interests of mechan-
ics and working men, the community which
allord them steady labor at good wages, is
the most advantgeous. The larger the com-
munity, the more diversified its business, the
greater will be the prosperity of the mechan-
ic and workingman. But a large communi-
ty with diversified interests requires the very
benefits secured by a city organization, and
without them will surely be checked in its
growth and capacity for promoting the wel-
fare of all its inhabi‘nts.
We are very sorry to see that our corres-
pondent speak 'of the proposition as a
benefit to the rich at the expense of the less
wealthy. It is surely time that all of us had
learned that in our American life you can—
not benefit oneciass at the expense of an—
other. All the interests of all the members
of our form of society are inseparably bound
up together. The rich and the poor are mu-
tualy beneficial to each other; the true in—
terest of one is as truly the interest of the
other, and no worse injury would be done to
either than persuade them to the contrary.
We assure our correspondent. that if a city
charter is not good for his class, it isnot good
for any class, if it will benefit tliericli, it will
benefit every one else whose industry is sup-
plied and rewarded by the employment and
enterprise of capital.
Finally, we are not strenuous for a city
charter on our own aCcounl. We have
thought that it would increase the prosperi-
ty oi our whole community. Others think
differently. We agree with llll: remarks
. Illil'lf: by Gen. Ferry, both at Norwalk and
South Norwalk, flint if the git-at majority of
the community is not. agreed upon the proj-
ect, it isbesl. to drop it, till experience shall
demonstrate its necessity and we come to a
definite conclusion as to what most for
our advantage.

WAIT. Samuel Lyiies came near losing a
valuable animal, as well as depriving him-
self oi‘a ride to church, Sunday morning in
consequence of his hosller repeating the oft
and unsuccessful experiment of removing
the lieadstall and bits after the horse had
been attached to the buggy. The horse
started off at a moderate pace till in front of
Belden‘s Tin Store, he made a plunge through
the brick and timber piles in front oftbe new
stores now in course oi erection. Here be
overturned carriage and ran nearly to the
Horse Car Depot, where he was caught, very
much to the relief of many equestrian and

periment on the part oi the groom.

GOOD STOCK—We. confess to a “powerful
weakness" in the manor of good horses, and
we feel in inviting others, similiarly interest-
ed, to go and see the horse referred to in the

AGAIN CONCERNED.——We are pained to
observe that our Legislative friend, Bennett,
of Huntington, who, though never at one‘ of
our Agricultural Fairs or meetings, was so
sorely distressed 'about its permanent loca-
tion at Norwalk, was againincoutinently ex-
ercised last week,not over N orwalk and Nor-
walk linterests, but over the state of the
whole country. Mr. Bennett’s pedal extrem-
eties may possibly compass the eastern por-_
tion of Faiilield County, full when he at-
tempts to stride the Union, his paucity of
legs suggests the difficulty with Paddy’s hen

en eggs.

That Tin Wedding.-
Thc tehth anniversary of the marriage of
Mr. 85 Mrs. OLIVER S. CLARK, of this town,
was celebrated in fine style, at their residence,
on Monday evening of last week, and was
the occasion of much delight and enjoyment.
At an early hour in the evening, the many
friends of the happy couple commenced at-
riving, bearing With them bridal presents of
Tin,—-—prescnts useful, presents ornamental,
presents ridiculous, presents designed to crn
ate a laugh, and presents homely but dwi'r-
ble,—constructed in accordance with ind.-
vidual fancy, or selected with an eye to (lu-
rability, or usefulness. At ten o’clock, the
house was crowded with guests, and the sup-
ply of tin ware was sufficient to start a yan-
kee pedlar on a three months‘ trip through
the Southern, or any other States. Soon af-
ter ten jo‘clock', a large crowd of men was
observed to stop in front of the house, and
the'guests were treated to a fine serenade of
vocal music, followed by instrumental music
by the Norwalk Brass Band, closing with a
great noise of tin horns, and clatter of tin
ware from the “New York Delegation." To
the music of the Band, the procession, num-_
baring over thirty fellow-clerks of‘Mr. Clark's
in the house of J. B. Spelman & Sons, New
York, with a large tin banner, and due
“pomp and ceremony," then filed into the
Parlor, and arranged themselves in a circle
around Mr. and Mrs. Clark, when Mr. T. A.
McCrosson stepped to the front, and spoke
substantially as follows :—
Mr. and Mrs. Clark, and Ladies and Gentlemen :—
It devolves upon me, as Chairman of the Commit-
tee of the New York Delegation, to read the congrat-
ulatory address.
I need not say that it is a pleasant dutyt We have
know you, Mr. Clark, for along time and have always
esteemed you very highly. We have heard you speak
in such eloquent and glowing terms of the many ami-
able qualities of your beloved “better half,” that we
have almost envied you your happy lot. You have
pictured to us your beautiful home here in “old Con-
necticut,” and judging from what we have seen to-
night, we must confess that the picture has not been
overdrawn. And, as I glance around upon this array
of youth and beauty, I am reminded that this “grand
old Commonwealth,” so prolific of great mom—the
home of the fathers of Grant, MacClellan, Sherman,
Sedgwick, Mansfield, and Barnum—has not been un-
miudful of the claims of tho “Iliir daughters of Eve.”
And I would say just here, by way of warning, that
as there are a great many old Bachelors among us—
not one of whose names appearedix: the Nerwry,that
should the feelings of any of these fair ones here to-
night be trifled with, it would not be worth while to
sue for damages, as we are all exceedingly poor; but
rather sue our friend Clark here,who is really the re-
sponsible and guilty person, andwho, you all see, is
immensely wealthy, and I venture to predict that be-
fore he would risk a suit at law,with the odds so greatly
against him, he would at once “come down with. the
tin.“ .-
The “orator of the day" then read the fol-
lowing address, composed by MR. WALSH:
2b Mr. and Mn, 0. S. Clark. GREETING:
WE ARE HERE 1 Here to celebrate with your numer-
ous friends, the tenth anniversary of your wedding
day.
Ten cheery Springs, with their wreaths of buds and
blossoms, their intermingled sunshine and showers,
have met and welomed you together. Ten rosy Sum-
mers have received you with outstretched arms, and
shedding awhile their genial warmth upon you, pass-
edyou on to ten as many, putt-colored Autumns as
ever yielded golden store to husbandman. Ten hoary
headed Winters have blown their chilling blasts
around you and scattered thickly in your paths their
biting frosts and snows.
But budding Springs and leafy Summers, ripening
Autumns and scowlingWiuters have never met you
singly. Firm and unchanging old Winter met you as .
when bright suns lingered around you; and his cold
blasts found you as ready to shield each other as to
share the life-giving breezes of May.
“Immortal love, forever full forever flowing free, _
Forever shared, forever whole, a never ebbing sea."
We are here, we repeat, to rejoice with you and to
offer our heartfelt congratulations to the Bridegroom
and the Bride. Long may you live; And may each
succeeding year which rolls you closer to your “Silver
Wedding,” unite you, if possible, can oioscr in the
bonds of conjugal love. And when hand in hand as,
in life, you go down into that vale of beauty, where
the brightness is eternal, we hope that one of the
pleasantest recollections of that life of beauty you are
about to leave, for that which is all rejoicing, all love-
liness, will be of the evening of your “Tin Wedding”
and the hearty and sincere manifestations of'
Tim NEW Yon}: DELEG AON.
A copy of the address, handsomely en-
grossed on paper and substantially bound in
tin, was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Clark for
preservation.
At the close of the address each member
presented some article of tin .ware, “manu-
factured especially for the occasion,” each
article creating a hearty laugh, adding to the
general merriment. The recipients will be
bothered to find use for some of the articles,
and will need to enlarge their house if they
preserve all these “keepsakes," before bold-
ing their Silver wedding.
D‘Artois was present, and when supper
was announced proved himself “equal to the
emergency” of feeding so many people. Re-
freshments were served in abundance, in
great variety, and tempting character, and
all the Oliver Twists who called for “more”
were duly served. Too much praise can-
not be given the hosts for the handsome man-
ner in which they entertained their guests.
After the substantials had been discussed,
the guests assembled together in the Dining
Room, anulistened to the following poem,
delivued by the genial author, Mr. Moses
C. Swezey :—
What shall I say,—except confess,
My tongue, my heart cannot express ;
For what it’s promptings now doth say.
Words fail to tell most utterly,
For sights that are before my eyes,
Cause thoughts by myriads to arise,
. And many a recollection sweet,
Now comes of 30 Warren Street.
* It * It $ II:
Now as I look around and pause,
I wonder what can be the cause
Of all the smiles Ijust now see ?
Do you presume to laugh at. me ‘3
Well, if you do, I’ll turn away,
And to the ladies a word say,
Whose eyes such merriment reveal,
As to make me quite awkward feel.
But then they mean no mischief tho”,
Unless they wish to catch a —,
But no,—they never thought of that before.
For young men always they Iggorc.
’l‘
I pause to think what brought them here,
They have some object, that is clear.
Now what is it? Can any tell?
Your smiling Ihces any, right well
You know the theta. And thanks there be
To-nigbt to Mrs. 0. S. C.
’Tis right, you know, we should thank her.
Because she gave not Oliver
“The mitten,” when he came to see her,
Ere their marriage; for bad she,
To-night we would at home have stayed,
And not. have ate the cake she ’3 made.
* at: if! at! * IF Ik it
But let’s awhile with flin dispense,
And have a word of common sense.
We meet to-night a man and wife,
Who’ve spent ten year: of married life
Together. And that sacred tie,
We do respect most reverently.
How gladly would I words employ,
To tell of matrimonial joy,
If I myself could only say.
“I‘ve married becnas long as they."
But, like some others whom I see,
I am not, nor am like to be,
Because I always thought, till now.
I never could afford a “frow ;”
But now, on looking ‘round, I find
What we all covet—oft wuli sin-—
Vulgarly known as “lots of tin.”
Now, if tonycars so much bestow,
I’d like right well indeed to know
What more will do,—for I‘ve heard say
.Wheuztwenty-flve have passed away,
That silver then is by friends brought ,
‘ ml with gold fifty years come fraught.
_ But what are metal‘s paltf-y worth,
Compared to that best love of earl/z .9
For what’s in God’s most holy eye,
More sacred than the "marriage tie t"
And when that love, 0 real and true,
Is pledged by chlldreir‘bifitxfw,
'Who grow with years to t surround,
Tell me—can there on earth be found
'Such spotless purity from sin,
.As that to Heaven’s love akin ?
No i no i I hear you all to say,
And that with truth right well you may.
it
Now as 0. S. changed our girl‘s name, :
I recommend we do the same ;
That is,-—if‘ we can follow suit——
And Miss our offer don't rel'utc.’
But pardon me, its getting late,
And “talking" I abominale.
So with this word I now will close,—
Orrathcrwill this “toast” propose,—
“The Clarks“—Enjoymeut from this date—-
And all such days we celebrate.
With music by the Band, some excellent
singing by the “Festcr Quartctte Club,” of
N. V.. dancing, conversation, flirting, &c.,
l' .e passed rapidly and pleasantly, and all
Who were present will long remember this
“Tin Wedding.” For the enjoyment of the
occasion much credit is due to the excellent
management by the N. Y. committee—-
Messrs. T. A. McCrosson, Geo. G. Cooper
and J. A. Devol. May Mr. and Mrs. Clark
receive as many presents, and enjoy the
warm congratulations of as many friends at
the celebration of their “coming" Silver
Wedding.

For instance: If Iwish to go to Boston
from Westport, and take a ticket to Bridge—
port, I pay forty cents ; to take the Bos-'
ton Express from Bridgeport I must pay five
dollars and fifty cents, making $5.90 for my
fare to Boston. Now, if I take a ticket to
New Haven from Westport, I pay one dol-
lar; take the the same express there I pay
four dollars and fifty cents, which costs me
forty cents less, b going to New Haven ,
and the N. Y. & . H. R. R. Company rob
every passenger of the same amount that
takes the- express at B. The company’s re-
monstrauce to the Legislature is similar to
the remonstrance of the Felon against a com-
munity that he has' plundered, and robbed,
and can have no more weight upon *an
honest intelligent legislature.

that President Bishop will see it. for the in-

A'r MAsoN & HAMLIN‘s WAREiIoons.—-
154 Tremont Street, is a reed organ which
probably surpasses any reed instrument ever
made. In the perfect. success which has at-
tended its construction, the problem has been
solved of making a large organ entirely of
tree reeds, It has two manuals with a com-
pass of sixty-one notes cacb, sixteen sit-ls of
reeds (six being the greatest number used
before), twenty-one stops, and a pedal key
board of twenty-seven notes. Some of the
stops are of peculiar richness of tone, while
in power and general effect, the instrument
can only surprise every musician and listen-
cr. All the stops areopernted on the pneu-
matic principle, a new feature in reed instru-
ments, and many ingenious and valuable
mechanical devises are introduced which we
have not space to enumerate, but which add
materially to the effective workin of the in-
strument. The case is exceeding y beauti-
ful, 12 feet, 3 inches high, and 0 Icet9 inches
wide, and every inch of' space is occupied.
We have tried this organ, and add our testi-
mony to that of others, that. it gives us new
ideas as to the capacity of reeds. And here
we may say a word in general as to the Ma-
son & Hamlin Cabinet. Organs. They are
worthy the high enconiums they receive.
Theyrange in price from $75 to $1000, accord-
ing to size and style, and are adapted for the
arlor, vesti-y, school-room .or church. M. 85
