The regular town meeting I:
to custom on Saturday afternoon last,
and, for a wonder, sevural veryscnsiblc im-
provements were earl icd with but little oppo-
sition. One measure was for grading and
gravcliug Washington street, at South Nor-
walk, from its junction with the railroad
track near the depot, down to the west abut-
ment of the new bridgc,and thence southern-
ly around the old Peck store to the steamboat
dock. The Selectmen were also directed to
erect a tide wall along tlre‘castern line of
Water street from the railroad bridge to the
new town bridge and gravel the same. An-
other sensible vote was for the cutting off
the front yard of the old Day placopppositc
the Peck store, so as to allow the new bridge
to terminate in a line with Washington St.
This last measure, we consider a very great
improvement and far in. excess of any cost
it can be to the town, or the adjacent proper-
ty owners, should damages and bent ills be
assessed upon them, under the provisrons of
our new law. We cannot but think it was a
very grave error in not locating the new town
bridge at some point above the railroad bridge.
It is now too late to retricvcthat error and we
are glad to see our South Norwalk and oth-
er friends intent on making this grand irn-
provemeniras near what it should be as pos-
sible. The next'measure considered, was
the acceptance-of the Report of the Select-
men discontinuing certain portions of the
original lay-out of Riverside Avenue, and
adopting the new and improved line and
grade. This was the proposition voted down
the week previous. It was L-xphiined by the
engineer and others, that the new lay, while
it varied the line of the road but a few feet
would not only be shorter and of a more
even grade but cost the town several hundred
dollars less than the old route. This is about
the forty-ninth or fiftieth time this Avenue
question has been up in town meeting and is
now, we hope and believe, definitely settled.
Tire hostility it has encountered was owing
to personal causes, tO have been expected,
but when this thoroughfare shall be comple-
ted, we are entirely confident it will meet
the acceptance and approval of the great
mass Of tax payers and citizens of the entire
town. Its need has been felt and its con-
struction sought, at different periods for the
past fifty years, and when completed it will
not. onlyprove one of the most attractive and
beautiful drives in the whole town, but. the
people will wonder how its construction was
postponed so long. There is not a private
interest that will be infringed while the pub-
lic will be benefitted everywry.
The next and last measure upon which ac-
tion was taken, was the construction of a new
road across the old factory dam at Winni-
pauk anda discontinuance of the Highway
now running past the Homestead of the late
Jesse Smith, through to 'and in front of the
residence of Mrs. John Aiken. This meas-
ure elicited a lengthy and somewhat spirited
discussion. It was claimed by Mr. George
G. Bishopthat the property of Mrs. Aiken
would bematerially injured by sucha change
of the road and bridge. Others claimed it
Would enhance its value. The measure was
finally cannot], however, and We presume
that enterprise Will be forthwith inaugrated.
The statements of Mr. Bishop certainly made
a somewhat favorable impression upon the"
meeting, and but for the feeling which pre-
vailed that the operatives of his mill were
organized and banded together for the defeat
of other measures against which there could
be no reasonable objection urged, we are con-
fident.that his appeal to have the old high-
way remain as at pres'enl, would have been
sustained. The sentiment. was very freely
expressed both before and alter the meeting
that. the town was gratuitously relinquishing
to the Smith estate a very valuable franchise
which should be considered in the proposed
change. We are not suflicicntly posted in
the matter to intelligently discuss this feature
of the case, but. if the statements made are
true, the Selectmen can, under the law as-
sessing damages and benefits, do justly by
all the parties and the town. '

most cases where nothing but. light loam
and garden mould were placed in the road
the dirt has disappeared and nothing but the

Concert at the First Congregational Church,

performers are lauded enthusiastically by all
who heard them. A knowledge of the true

113‘ We give herewith the verdict of the
Jury of Inquest in the case Of the deaths of
the little Wilson boys. The sad, solemn fu-
neral services were held at the first Congre-
gational Church, and the whole community
seemed moved as by one common sorrow.
The calamity, so terrible and heartrending to
the parents, touched the chords of an uni-
versal sympathy and tears came lo many
eyes unused to weep. It was one of those
sudden snappings of the parental heart—
strings, which gavethat “touch of’ nature
which makes the whole world akin." And
yet, the christian parents are not without
consolation even in their great sol‘row and
bereavement—“for of such is the kingdom of
Heaven."

Tire undersigned having been dulv sum-
moned, impanpeled and sworn as a Jury of
Inquest. to inquire into the cause and Illllll-
ner of the death of Eugene Philips Wilson
and Joseph Warren Wilson, need respective-
ly seven and six years, children of Joseph
W. Wilson, whose deallr was sudden and
untimely, and the cause and manner of which
unknown, and having viewed the bodies of
said deceased children and considered the
evidence given to us, do on our oaths say,
That the said children were accidently
smothered to death on the 29th day of June,
1867. by the caving of a pit which had been
dug in Camp street in Norwalk, 1“ the pur-
pose Of obtaining sand, and in Melt the
said children were playing, The Jury find
that the accident is not attributable to the
position of the pit in the highway, nor to lhc
condition in which-it had been left by the
workmen, but. that the fall of gravel by
which the children were smothered was in:-
mediatcly caused by excavations made by
the children themselves.

We find the followingin the Mcriden Re-
corder :—
God sent an angel from 1115 high abodc—
The wlritc-robcd Azracl who comes to all—
To bring to Him the fairest child of car th.
He saw these two, the pale-eyed, fair-haired boys,
And first helookcd at one, and then again
The other : but in vain he tried to chose
Between the two, and so he took them both.
And suddenly the darling lights went out,
And there is left a sadand darkened home ;
But Heaven holds in tender-est embrace
What earth and friends were suffered not to keep.
They both forever with their Lord arcblest :
But oh ! for them, the mourning, stricken ones,
For them our tours must fall like summer rain 1
God pity thorn 1 NO other comforter
May dare to touch the border of llrcirgrief.
We can but think their cup is pressed (00 full
0f bitterness. But 110 who portioued it
Knows best, because He loveth best of all ;
And they must. nicely drink it to the drcgs,
And say, though painfully, “Thy will be done.”

TnE DIAMOND DICKENs.——We have sever-

edition of the works of the great novelist,
which is meeting with a 'ready sale. The
Hartford Press has the following notice of
the last volume :——“Thc vOlume .tlris nronth
is the inimitable Martin Chilezlowz'l, with the
dear Mr. Pinch, the spotlés Pecksnifi', the
patern Todgers, the odd Mrs Gum p, the cv-
er jolly Mark 'l‘aplcy, and that series of
American characters, Jefferson Birch, Elijah
Pogram and the rest, whose homes are in
the Garden of Eden and the sflin nu. No
novel Of Dickens, except ‘Pickwic I,‘ is so
abundant in characters which have passed
into current literature, we might say into
daily life, as real. Mr. Eytinge has drawn
for it sixteen cxcellcntlllustrations, first-rate
in concqition and execution, and better as a
whole than any of the preceding. This edi-
tion has become very popular, we are glad
to know, and for this volume, in considera-
‘ tion of its Americanism, we predict a larger
sale than for any hitherto printer ." The
five volumes now published can be obtained
at Selleck's Bookstore ; price $1.50 per vol-
ume, each novel complete in one volume.

VERY Eurasia—Quite an excitement has
prevailed all along the shore towns of Con-
necticut and many of the interior towns of
other New England Stat. s, in consequence
of frequent robberies of valuable letters from
the mails. Quite a number of inconsiderable
losses were reported from our Nor-walk Office
and the want of confidence in the ma(i)les
was becoming n ndul y stirnulated,wlren lo and
behold an entire mail belonging to the Fair-
ficld County Bank was missing. Said mail
consisted of a large number of letters, tied
up in a package, containing an untold num-
ber of thousands, all faithfully deposited in
the Norwalk P. O. to be sped on their desti-
nation, as was confidently believed and as-
serted. Of course the excitement upon this
enormous loss was too intense for cool and
deliberate thought or action. Bank Cashiers,
and-'Bank Tellers, Bank Directors and
sweeps, had their blood up to a scarletrash.
One Director immediately ucspatehes. an
epistle to his new political alli, the Post
Master General, complaining of all sorts of
things in general and our innocent local P.
M. in particular. The P. M. General was ur-
ranging for a slight swing around the circle
in New England, with “A. J. the 1st,’f and
couldn’t attend to the Director's letter, so
returns it to the Norwalk P. M. for explana-
tion and adjustment. Olrnstcad got the lat-
ter, read it,—reads it to his freiuds and huge-
l y, enjoys the “goak” because the Bank let-
ters were all found safely deposited in their

TUESDAY, July 2.
HOUSE—Bill providing that the Judges Of
, the Superior Court, elected this session, shall
not take their seats until the rising Of the
Assembly; passed;
The order of the day was taken up, being
the question of the contest between Messrs.
Vinal and Starr in the matter of the election
of J udgc of Probate in the District of Mid-
dletown.
After a long debate the House adjourned,
without final action, till 7 p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
The election of Judges of the Superior
Court was postponed till July 1011i.
The Middletown Probate case came up
again. and the Democrats, to prevent a vote,
withdrew from the hall, leaving the House
without a quorum, and compelling an ad-
journment.
WEDNESDAY, July. 3,
SENATE—Mr. Phelps moved to reconsider
the vote by which the election of Judges of,
the Superior Court was made the special or-
der for to-day at ten O‘clock and the motion
prevailed. and a motion to proceed to a bal-
lot immediately 'was carried. .
The first ballot resulted as follows:

The ballot for Second Judge resulted as
follows: .

HOUSE—Mr. Hammers] y read a rcsolulion
Of the Board of Common Council of the city
of Hartford, calling for the app;opli-
ating of money to the erection Of a mon-
ument to mark the site Of‘ the Charter Oak.
Mr. Ives was decidedly in favor of a prop-
osition to mark the site of the Charter Oak
in some appropriate manner, but suggested
the monument be made memorial in its char—
acter, and bear upon its tablets the names of
soldiers from Hartford killed during the re-
bellion. , Such a monument would answer a
double patriotic purpose. (Applause)
Mr. Hammersley demanded - that a vote
be taken on the original resolution, pure
and simple, without being complicated with
any other purpose.
The motion of Mr. Ives to refer the reso-
lutions to the commiltcc on miliiary affairs
for amendment as he had suggested, w-rs car-
ried on a count, in favor 66,‘ against 59.
Tire consideration of lbc probate contested
case was resumed.
It having been charged that. the object of
the Democrats in slaving off the vote until
after the 4th, was to get Starr installed into
Office, Mr. Graves protested that it was no.
such thing, for the governor might retain the
bill for ten days, and that would give ample
time for the slight advantage of installing
Mr. Starr.
Mr. Mallory, (rep.) Of Bridgeport.——-erat
is your Object, then? . ~

udices which everything new, however excellent, is
doomed to encounter. '
’l‘O-DAY
it stands at the head of all tonic and alterativg prepa-
rations in existence. its celebrity has evoked many
imitations but No IHVA‘LS. Physicians pronounce it
the ONLY SAFE sTIMIILANT that has ever been intro-
duced into the sick chamber. In the Hospitals of
the Arm and Navy, the, surgeons find it the very
best tonic for convalescents, and report it invaluable
for sustaining the vigoroi' troops on the march, as a
remed for scurvy and all scorbutic affections, and as
the on y s ecifi‘c for Sea-sickness California and
Australia lfavc emphatically endorsed it as the MI-
NER‘s MEDICINE par excellence, and in Spanish Amer-
ica and all the tropical climates. it is considered the
onl reliable antidote to epidemic fever.
here is no mystery about the causes of its success.
It is the only stomachic and alterativc_ in which are
combined the grand requisites of a mild, pure, and
IInvitiatcd vegetable stimulant, with the finest selec-
tion of tonic, anti-billions. anti-scorbntic, a erient,
and depurative herbs. plants, roots, and bar 5 that
have ever been intermixed in a medicinal prepa-
ration.
l t is also proper to state that the Bitters are sold
exclusively in glass, and never, under any circum—
stances, by the gallon or the barrel. Imposters and
imitators are abroad, and the only safeguayd the pub-
lic has against thorn is to see that the Bitters they
buy bear the engraved label and note of hand of
Messrs. Hostetter S: Smith, and the Government
stamp overtbc cork of the bottle. '
