Never have our peril
lycxcited and their :15 nipatliics il'
stirred as from Sud-lay night to ;< litiily
Waning. Not (-\‘f';l during the terrible scents
of thc Norwulk Draw liidgc disaster were
so tinny anxious laces visible as during the
twenty-four hours named. Thccause, brief-
ly statcdpwas the sudden disappearance of
two unusually bright little sons of Lawyer

. Inert

J. W. VVilsou, one aged about seven, the
other about. six. They had been in the
lie-

woods in the morning with other boy-i.
turning home they left their mother‘s side
about 10 1-2 a. In. From that item up to the
recovery of their lifeless bodies no reliable
information of them could be gained. Large
parties of citizens procured lanterns and
searched tiic woods during Saturday night.
On Sunday fire bells were! rung and the bar-
bor, river, ponds, and woods thoroughly
scoured, bya very largely lttClcdst-LI force.
under the direction of Col. Craufurd‘with no
traces of the missing children up to about. 4.
p. in. One boy asserted that he had sreu
them as late as 4 of the previous day in the
woods. A. young woman was equally
positive she saw them in front of Messrs.
Beatty’s Straw Hat Factory at 5 p. in. This
latter evidence was confirmed by a straight-
forward story told by a little girl, giving a
detailed and perfect description of the chil-
dren,and avering that she had seen them
standing in front of her house, near the
above factory. But of course all were de-
ceivcd. Adding to the mystery. one of the
boys had left his hat in the house and
wherever he might he must be bare-head-
ed. A large pond a few fro-ls from Mr. Wil-
son’s residence was the point of more ma-
ture conjecture, although the general feeling
prevailed that they had got bewildered null
exhausted in the woods above the rocks
road, and most of the search was directed
thither. To this belief the father’s mind
seemed tenaciously anchored, doubtless from
the fact of the children being in the habit of
strolling thither. It was not until after Der-
ry’s Pond, above mentioned, had been thor-
oughly dragged and the woods traversed by
repeated large searching parties, that ala-
borcr who had beenat work upon a. new
foundation for Chas. G. Dean, adjoining Mr,
'Wilson’s residence, came up and stated that
he had left all work in a sand pit near the
corner of Mr. Wilson’s fence and that the
excavation looked asthough itliad slightly
caved since he left it at clevcn o’clock on
Saturday. Another man working on the
same foundation also stated that the chil-
dren were playing in the sand pit at 12 111.,
'when he went to dinner.

A hoe and shovel were soon procured and
the second draw of the former rcvralcd the
head of the eldest boy. Further search soon
disclosed the distressing spectacle of the
dead bodies of both children. They had
evidently been sitting down in the bottom of
the pit playing Willi the sand, when more
than a cart body of earth had caved in and
sufiocated them. Not more than four inches
lay upon the head of the older boy, but. his
posture was such that he could not rise.
The sad event must have occurred between
the hours of 12 and 1 of Saturday, for
when we made critical examination of the
same hole, as did hundreds others on Sun-
day morning, all parts of the gravel sides
were equally dry and no appcrancc of any
recent cave discoverable. The ailiictcd
parents have had the sincere sympathy of
our entire community. From every pulpit
the sad event was noticed, and when finally
the bodies were found the whole town seem-
ed bowed as by one cominon,overshadowing
sorrow. The funeral will be attended at the
Congregational clmrclLon Wednesday, July
3d, at 1‘2. 12 o‘clock, and the bodies taken in
the p. in. train to New Haven for interment.

 

Notice.

.As we cannot personally see the many hun-
dreds of dear friends who have assisted us so
much in finding our dear little boys, we in
this way thank you for what. you have done.
We cannot repay you, but you have our
heartfelt thanks, and your kindness and sym-
pathy will ever be remembered.

Mr. Iv. Mrs. J. W. Wilson.

Town MEETING.—We were not present
at the Town Meeting Saturday evening. The
street statement is that there were but few
personipresent, and they mostly operatives
in the Union Manufacturing Company’s
Mill. The change of the location of the
Winnipauk Bridge was voted down. They
also voted down a few improvements made
by the selectmen in the line and grade of
River Side‘ Avenue, under the undoubted
impression 'tliat they had thus effectually
killed that long demanded public improve-
ment. This is not ilie fact however. The lay-
out of that Avenue has been accepted by the
town and a contract made for its construc-
tion. The engineer discovered that the road
might be shortened and angles and grades
improved and a considetfiblc amount ofnicn-
cy saved to the Treasury, by changing the
original lay-outa few fectin seVeral places,
but it makes no essential difference. The
road will be built, while the popular judg-
ment must thoroughly condemn both the
wisdom and motive thus exhibited by a
great corporation seeking to accomplish a
private, selfish purpose.

NEW ORGAN -—Tlic First Congregational
Church having had anew organ introduced,
a Concert will be given on Friday evening,
July 5th, with a view of exhibiting tlic
powers of, the instrument. The organ will
be played by Mr. Dudley Buck of Hartford,
one of the best players in New England. A
very superior quarteitc of trained voices will
also accompany Mr. Buck, and a iarc treat
is promised the lovers of good iiinsic. The
proceeds go to defray choir expenses.

Tim Cowman—We trust that the concert
to be given by the chillc Chorus Club, at
Lockwood’s Hall, this (Tuesday) evening,
will be largely attended, as we have reason
to believe that it will be a really good enter-
tainment, and one which our people will ap-
- preciate. The leader, we understand, is or—
ganist 0f DI“. SIOI’I‘S’ Cllttt‘t-ii, Brooklyn1 and
the ladies and gentlemen of the company are
said to be fine vocalists. The programme is
not all clasical music, butis varied and pleas-

The Fourth at Roton Point.

As there is tobe no public celebration in this
vicinity on the Fourth of July, it is probable
that Excursions and Pie Nica will generally
be the order of the day, and that. every avail-
able shade tree on the shore and islands will
cover a dinner table. The Byxbcc Brothers
have made special arrangements for the bin
tainmcnt of guests at their beautiful. resort,
on that day. See :1 iv. for particulars.

the Liberty club of this place, accompanied
by quite a large number of active and hon-
orary members find friends of the club, went
to Waterbury, on Friday last, to play a match
game with the “Monitor" of that, city. On
their arrival they proceeded immediately to
the grounds of the latter club, where the
game was called at 12.30 o‘clock. Nine in-
nings were played, closing at 3.10, when the
game was decided in favor of the Lillf'l‘ty.
club by a score of 28 lo 24. We hear the
game described by spectators as having been
one of much interest, the fielding and batting"

year, were:

lst. The power of Ideas, as contrasted
with the power of individual mcn.

2nd. Modern Poetry compared with the
poetry of the 17th century.

The Chapel was filled with an unusually
fashionable audience, 'and the speaking was
most excellent. Messrs. Dunning and Bur—
rcll receiving the greatest applause, to the
latter of whom the Faculty awarded the
medal, to the univerasal satifaction of every
one. The Wooden Spoon Concert in the
evening was a grand success. The floor of
Music Hall was crowded from the commence-
ment of the Iestivitcs until early dawn with
tlic“levcrs of Tcrpsicorc." The costumes
worn on that occasion would exceed the
powers of any but a lady connoisseur and I
will not. attempt to describe them. Tuesday
evening came the exerci’ of the Wooden
Spoon presentation, and was as usual :1 very
brilliant occasion. The hall was crowded to
its utmost capacity, fabulous prices being
paid at the last moment for tickets. The
music was Lander’s Band of New York.

The opening load afforded an opportunity
for a good pun, though it was appreciated
by but few of tlieaudiencc. Upon theirising
ot the curtain eight of the “ Coclileaureati”
were seclf standing round a large sheaf of
straw, which upon being opened disclosed

tion w- s decidedly the best that I had ever
witnessed, and reflected great credit upon
the gentlemen of ’68 who conducted it.

Wednesday, presentation day proper, was
ushered in with warmth and sunshine.
The exercises of the morning were held in
the college Chapel and consisted in the de-
livery oi the class Poem by W. H. Bishop,
of Hartford, :1 production of considerable
nicrit, with the class Oration by John W.
Sliowallcr, of Minerva, Kentucky. The
theme was "the educated man as a citizen”
and displayed commendable research, origi-
nality and close confinement to the subject.
It was, taken all together, a superior thing.
At its close the President announced the pri-
zes taken during the last term among others
the following to Connecticut men. Senior

ship, was awarded to Edwin Stcarns,ot Cin-
cinnati, a graduate of the Hopkin’s Gratit-
mar School.

In the afternoon the class of ‘07 gflliered
in front of South Middle, under the protec-
tion of the ehiis now to shelter them for the
last time to Commemorate their parting ex-
ercises. The seats which had been provi-
ded for the occasion were filled with anxious
mothers, charming sisters and fronds of the
particilmtors in these exercises, and iii the
center of the arena, round a side board table
the class of‘67 wcregatlicrcd with their clay
pipes prepared to wear the class iuslores.
The Historians were II. A. Chitlendcn lst
Division, C. S. Elliott 2nd, L. II. Kitchcl 3rd
and J. M. Spencer 4th. The former had
.hardly commenced his recital crc the fickle
clouds, which had been gathering sincc noon
unburdcned themselves of their contents and
poured clown on the assembled spectators, a
pelting rain which scattered all but a few
heroic ones who gallantly braved the storm
and remained throughout the exercises.
The histories concluded with tearful counte-
nanccs the class marched in sorrowing tread
to the Library where amid a “shower of
tears” the class ivy was planted, the parting
ode sung, and the farewells spoken which
severed the class of ’67 forever from their
Alma Mater. The best wishes of all go with
them. The present cxctlemcnt is over the
approaching “annual” and the regatta on
Lake Quinsagamond week after next. The
University crew, after a series of changes, is
finally determined on, have gone into vigor-
‘oustraining, and will givca good report of
themselves at Worcester. The Freshman
crew are also in training and expect to bring
back the flag in July. They are. stalwart
men, have worked faithfully, and made good
time. Yale possesses also seve'al finc base
ball club: the best of thctn, the ‘70 B. B. C.
having recently defeated the Bridgeport
club by a aeorc of 53 to 13 and the Charter
Oaks of Hartford. score 30 to 28. The first
exhibition of the Yale School of “Fine Arts
opens on the 1011 of July, and closes the 28th
of September Kenscll,Bccrstadt and Church
are among the contributors. Vacation is in
two Weeks and New Haven will then be as
unproniising as “Scam" in winter.

The following startling statement from the
Bridgeport Standard of Friday Week shows
how narrowly another terrible railroad acci-
dent was avoidcd in that town on Thursday.
It also affords a pointed commentary on one
of the many beauties and excellencics of
Diawbridges :—

Tlic 2:30 p. 111., Express train from New
York had an almost miraculous escape yes-
terday at the draw-bridge in East Bridgeport,
and would have been thrown off the bridge

Ism of Dennis Colgan the draw lender, who
risked his own life to save the train. The
draw had been opcuod,to let a. schooner pass
through, the ball was down, and tiic bridge
some fifteen feet out of place when the train
came in sight, and pushed along at the usual
speed, the engineer not seeing the signal and
knowing nothing about it till within twenty
feet of the draw. By the greatest exertion

track strikes the draw at a strong curve on
the west side, a train coming on loit from
iliatdirection would swing itopen inevitably,
unless it was locked. Knowing this Colgan
ran across the bridge iii the face of the ad.
vat-icing rain, in spite of the cries of a num-
ber of persons, who told him t.‘o get off the
bridge and lookout for himself, and drop-
ping in front of the engine succeeded in lock-
ing the bridge with about an inch of the bar,
and sliding off on to the platform bclow.-—
So close was lie to the engine, that. the ob—
gincer thought. he had run over him, and
many persons looking on thought he was
struck. He says in the excitement of the
moment he hardly realized the. risk that he
ran, and' thought only of the raft-1y of the
train. Such an act deserves the. highest
praise, and a substantial reward from the
Company. The engineer can give no reason
for not seeing the signal, and resigned his po-
sition immediately on reaching New Haven
as we are informed. Dennis Colgau ha . been
on the road for seventeen years, has landed
the draw for nearly thirteen, and has always
been found at his post and shown himself
trustworty and reliable. He deserves Well
of the entire community. '

HOUSE—The petition for a. horse railroad
company from New Haven to Derby was
continued to next session.

A resolution’ to adjourn to July 8th was
pressed by the Democrats, but was indeli-
nitcly postponed. .

Judiciary Committee ieported iu_iavor of
bill to allow accused parties to testify in court.
Mr. Ives explained ii, and gavc‘somc practi-
cal illustrations showing the importance of
such a law. '

Mr. Woodward of Norwalk, one of the
committee, dissented ; and gave reasons for
opposing it. He had consulted with expe-
rienced lawyers and judges and their exoc-
rlcncc was advcrsc'to such a change. The
law now does not compel a. man to criminatc
himself. The proposed law does not, it is
true, compel an accused person to testify;
but if it passes, any accused person Will be,
expected to testify, aud'if he does not, the
inference naturally to be drawn by the jury,
would be that ho was guilty ; though he
might in fact be innocent, and decline totes-
tii‘y, on account of his own sensmvc feelings
under some foul and unjust charge—while
no the other hand a cool and accomplished
scoundrel would be helped by such a law.

After much' further debate, Mr. Munson
offered an amendment, the husband or wife
of the accused shall be a competent Witness,
and that neither the tate’s attoncy or the
Court, shall allude to t c neglect to_ testify.
In other words, that a neglect to testify shall
be no presumption of guilt.

This led to a storm of motions and coun-
ter-motions, and statements of rules and
points of order. '

The amendment. was adopted; and the
bill, as amended, was passed—107 to 51.

The Fairs and Festivals;

The Y. M. C. A. was noted for its slim at-
tendance of young men and fair attendance
of young ladies. The receipts nettcdabout
$40. The managers desire to return thanks
to the ladies who so kindly assisted them.

The Norwalk Guards, Tuesday evening,
ran against a severe storm which prowd too
much for them. Result—about $50 out of
pocket. The select party in attendance,
however, enjoyed the charming music, and
dancing continued until after midnight. The
Strawberry Show was the best ever seen in
town, and quite large. The premiums were
awarded as follows:

Heaviest ten berries, Agriculturalist,
weight, 1‘2 pound, Jesse Smith, Winnipauk.

Best quart, size and flavor. Agricultu-
ralist, exhibited by Seymour 6i; 00., South
Norwalk. A plate of Triomphe dc Gands
exhibited by a member of the Company
pronounced by the judges as the finest ber-
rics in the collection, but not being entered
for competition could not be awarded the
prize. '

The Festival of the South Norwalk Con-
gregational Society was finally held Wednes-
day and Saturday evenings, and was largely
attendcd. ' . ,

The South N orwalk Methodist Society
held a Festival, &c., on Thursday and Fri-
day evenings, netting about $100.

Thursday evening the Phoenix Hose Co’s
Festival and Hop at Lockwood’s Hall was
largely attended. Dancing, to the music of
the Norwrlk String Band was kept up until
a latc‘liour. Tlic committees worked well,
and the entertainment was creditable to the
company. :

The storm of Wednesday interiincd some-
what with the opening of the Fair for the
Benefit of Fitch’s Home, but the attendance
was fair, and‘in Thursday evening quite
large. Much interest was manifested in its
success by our people, and the Fair itself
was one of the best ever held iii to wit.
About six hundred dollars was netted iiir
the benefit of the Home. The kind Ladies
and Misses who have given so much care
and time to this noble work deserve great
praise; btit probably fer-l well repaid for
iilL‘Il' exertions.

The Methodist Church Festivd at Rowiiy—
too, was postponed to 'l‘hui'sday and Friday
evenings last. They met wiili quite good
success. I

The Baptist Society, at Itowayton are to
hold a Festival Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, July 2d and 3d, in thcliotcl Build-
ing. ,

The St. Mary’s Society Fancy Fair for the
benefit of the Stone Church now being erect-
ed ou West Avenue, opened at Norwalk
Hall, Friday evening last, and still continues.
The Fair opens with a concert by the child-
drcn, and closes with a Hop, each evening.

@‘Among the new advertisements in
this weeks issue is that of the Third Avenue
Savings Bank, giving notice of its usual semi-
annual dividend at the rule of six per cent.
per annuni. '

The popularity of this institution is the
remark of all who have given the subject
even a casual consideration.

For two years past it has 'aiiked first in
the list of Savings Banks, in point of increase
of capital, not only in the City of New York
but throughput the entire state, its present
capital being'$4,500,000.

TIIE CABINET OIIGANr—Tftf.‘ most. valua-

‘blc and distinctiVe characteristic of the Ma-

son & Hamlin instruments is undoubtedly
their quality of tone. Time is a liquid
smoothness and purity, a freedom from harsh-
ness and hardness of character, which is very
notable and praiscworty. Tlicir instruments
havea near approach to that rotittd sonority
which is sought for in the diapasons of a
pipe organ. The rapidity of their action, the
quickness with which the tone responds
when a key is touched, is also a notable ex-
cellence. Their perfection in this respect
extends their capacity to light, rapid music,
as well as those more slow and sombre
strains which have been classed as organ
music—N. Y. World.

15 Years Ago and Now.

FIFTEEN YEARS AGO Hoerr-rnn's Sronacn
BITTEns was struggling into notice against the prej-
udiccs’ which everything new, however excellent, is
doomed to encounter.

TO-DAY

it stands at the head ofall ionic and alterativc prepa-
rations in existence. Its celebrity has evoked many
imitations but NO nivAIs. Physicians pronounce it
the ova SAFE STIMULANT that has ever been intro-
duced into the sick chamber. In the Hospitals of
the Army and Navy, the surgeons find it the. very
best tonic for convulcscciiis, and report it invaluable
for sustaining the vigor ol troops on the march, as a
remedy for scurvy and all scorbulic affections, and as
the only speciil'c for sea-sickness California and
Australia have emphatically endorsed it as the MI-
NI-m’s MEDICIxn par excellence, and in Spanish Amer.
ica and all the tro icul climates. it is considered the
only reliable anti ale to epidemic fever.

There is no mysteryabout the causes ofits success.
It is the only siomacliic and alfcrativc in which are
combined the grand requisites of a mild, pure, and
unvitiatcd vegetable stimulant. with the finest selec—
tion of tonic, anti-billions. aiiti—scotbutic, npcricnt,
and depiirati'vc herbs. plants, roots, and barks that
have ever been intermixed in a medicinal prepa—
ration.

IL is also proper to state that. the Bitters are sold
exclusively in glass, and never, under any circum—
stances, by the gullou or the barrel. Imposters and
imitators are abroad, and the only safeguard the pub~
he has against them is to see that the Bitters they
buy bear the engraved label and note of hand of
Messrs. Ilostettcr A” Smith, and the Government
stamp over the cork of the bottle.
