AMERICAN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS—-
American energy, ingenuity and persever-
ance, are triumphant in whatever they seri-
iously undertake. It is interesting to watch
the progress of manufactures, and observe
how rapidly we are excelling the Old World.
Nor is this merly in those common articles
which require little skill in their, construct-
ion. It appears to be the fact that the great;
er the ingenuity required, the more sure is
our Yankee land to carry off the palm.
In piano-fortes, for instance, it is well
known that those Of the best makers among
us already equal, if they do not; excells, the
best of European makers. In reed instru-
ment, such as the Cabinet Organs, the super-
iority is yet more decidedly with the Ameri-
can instruments. It is conceded by the best
judges that the Mason &. 'Hamliu Cabinet
Or ans, which have attained..so great a rep—
iita ion at home, are far superior to any for-
eign instruments of the class. The last num-
ber of “New Zeitschrift fur Music," the fa-
mouaLeipzig musical journal, has a notice
of one of the Mason do Hamlin Cabinet Or-
gans, which the editor has seen, and of
which he admits the superiority, not only
in ,full volume of tone and general charact-
,eristics, but especially' in the “mellow and
pleasing character ofits ton es." This favor-
able testimony is just. Tliosc who have
not heard these beautiful instruments have
little idea of the improvement which these
makers have efl‘ected,and of the charming
qualities of their organs. It is not surprising
that the demand for them is so large.

li‘req'ieiit inquiry is made of us as to the
probabilities of :2 City Charter for Norwalk.
llt‘lll" fil)llllll=‘tl at the present session of oul‘_
Legislature. We answer that we do not
know,and have not tlicmafter in our e:-
pccial keeping, us runny seem to surprise.
We have taken a deep interest III the move-
ment, because we know such a local govern-
ment is our inerz'lablc destiny. Our-“conserva-
tive“ and “Old logy" residents may Oppose
and lament, but it will all be to no purpose.
Scon or late, Mrroalk will be a city ; that
every one must realize who knows anything
Of cause and result. It has seemed to us
that this being inevitable, it were wise and
cht to secure the (ulcantagcs now that such
a local government would give us, in mat-
ters of highways, side-walks, water-works,
sewerage, &c. To our sincere regret a pure-
ly political and partisan opposition was in-
augurated here in upper Norfllk and a po—
litical IaWycr, of the copper faith, hired to
fight the project before the Legislature, to
the extent of his ability. It is true our le-
gal friend’s retainers are more noted for fi-
delity to their own personal pocket-books
than to the liealtb, comfort or reputation of
our town. At South NOrwalk, if there be
not an organized opposition, there is never-
theless an apathy amounting to indifference,
on the part of many of its leading citizens
and property-holders, showing conclusively
that the advantages of a city organization,
with its local ward authorities empowered
to act with energy and promptness in all
'niatters of public necessity, were not at all
comprehended or understood. In this View
of the case, many friends Of the measure
have thought it best to let the matter be
continued over to another year. Others
think this unwise, and we are of the latter
number. We sorely, pressiiigly need a bet-
ter system of expending our money In the
working of Highways. ~\Vc iniperatively re-
quire tlic introduction of Water, both at
Norwalk and South Norwalk. We know
that a charter for this purpose is in pri-
vate hands and we are not uuniindliil of our
own pecuniary interest therein as a corpora-
tor. But we know also that. if the Water
Works be conducted by a private company
its pipes will be laid only where money can
be made, and not where the public conven-
ience, health and comfort demand, as will
be the result if it be'o‘wncd and controlled
by the citizens themselves. We have been
assured by parties who know, that this Wa-
ter Company’s Charter is worth $20,000fo
its corporators as a dividend paying specu-
lation. We do not doubt it, for the pipes
once laid, abountiful Creator supplies the
stock-in-trade, without money and without
price to the company. There is no continu-
al purchase Of coal and lime to keep up a
supply as in the case of the Gas Company,
but the pipes once down the water flowcth
ever after to the profit of its owners and the
blessing Of all who can get it to use. Nev-
crtheless,‘ as a corporator, more active than
any other in procuring the Water Compa-
ny’s Charter and paying all its bills of ex-
pense, we shall oppose its being monopo-
lized by a few so long as a hope exists that
it may be owned by the whole people Of
both villages. For this cause we regret it
postponement Of a city charter for another
year.
We had sincerely hoped that party poli-
tics might be kept out of this one measure,
inaugurated purely and entirely for the great-
est good to all. In this, we have been doom-
ed to a sad disappointment. And yet, we do
hope, that it may be tirade a condition Of
charter, whenever it be obtained, that our
local officers shall be selected from both par-
ties and serve without other compensation
than the consciousness of doing good. In
this way, shall we best secure the public weal
and dissipate schemes for mere personal and
selfish advantage. We ought to be, and
'inust be, better and more economically gov-
erned or we shall fall of that rapid growth
and enhanced prosperity otherwise certain
to accrue to us. '
For these and many other reasor’hitlierto
more claboritely urged, we pray our Legisla-
tors to grant us an act incorporating, Nor-
walk, South Norwalk and Winnipauk, into
appropriate Districts and Wards and within
proper bonndraries and to leave said act of
Incorporation to a deliberate vote of ourcit-
izens to adopt or reject as a majority shall
elect. This to our mind,is the fair and prOper
mode of testing the people’s want or favor
or disfavor of the charter. If a little snarl
Of sore headed, penurious democrats see fit
to pay out their money in lobby efforts for its
defeat, let their purse a heart strings snap at
one and the same time. We trust no friend of
acity charter will pay a dollar for its procure
merit. If the measure cannot go on its own
merits, ' nd because the people want it, let it
die and e buried out of sight.
Iii-what we have said of parlizan Opposi-
tion, we do not wish to be unjust to the great
body 0! respectable citizens of Norwalk, who
from sciilqcause inscrnitable to us, will con-
tinue to vote the democratic ticket despite all
our teachings. To their credit be it said, a
large majority of the generous, unselfish
men of that party, desire an improved local
governient as much as any Republican and
go with us for a city organization. There
are scores of such men of sound judgement
and wisely economical views who would
cheerfully give their time gratuitously for the
carrying out. of any system whereby the over-
burdened tgx payers of Norwalk shall real-
ize that they are deriving some benefit for the
money wrested from them. ,

W We are glad to learn that our Bor—
ougli authorities have determined upon the
removal of the Liberty Pole in front of the
Norwalk Hotel. Not only is there danger Of‘
its falling from decay, but the space between
it and the Horse Railway tra‘ck i§ required
for the public travel,and it is a wonder no se-
rious accident has hitherto occurred at this
point, as we have repeatedly seen horses
frightened at the impossible representations
usually placarded there. This little enclos-
ure obstructs the view of the street and HO-
tel and is, rightly removed as a’public nuis—
ance. ‘ ,
To make this section of the Highway as it
should be, the Borough should now cause
a sewer to be built deep under ground, and
passing hen oath the surface of ‘ President
Isaacs’ or Mr. Samuel Lyncs' garden through
by the old Quintard Place and out at the
Dock near the Coal Yard. In this manner
the entire street in front Of the Bank may be
thoroughly drained and rendered decently
passable, while in the fall, winter and spring
months the vast volume of water descending
from the hills west of the town may be car-
ried OII by the same conduit. This improve-
ment may be easily constructed to the injury
of none and the benefit Of all. It is remark-
able that no epidemic fevers have been on-
gendered by the filthy deposits and exhala-
tions of that interminable and intolerable
mud hole from the Railroad bridge to Isaac’s
Hill.

knowledge of theory, combined with thor-

that well-known viand —-the ham, which is

13.1in on Thursday morning, as if eager _to l

this gallant young soldier of the Republic .‘lll-
swered the final roll call. He died at his
father’s residence in this town-«lied as be
had lived—calm, serene, llt role, and hopeful
of a blessed immortality. f'liii' brief limits

)‘vlrof‘r h.- entered the University at Middle-
town. Here he had been a stiidentfoi near-
ly a year, when the guns Of Sumpter wak-
ed the loyal North as with the throes of an
earthquake. He had stood first in his dc-
portment and in all his studies save mathe-
matics.In this latter branch one other had ex-
celled him, but his competitor was unequal
to young Hill’s ambition to be first in every-
thing and after a few months he took the

left that institution for the ranks of the Union
Army, its best scholar.
He came home and with earnest cntreaty,
gained liis'parents permission to.ilist, which
he did at 17 years of age, on the 22d of
May 1861, at Hartford, in the 4th Ct. Vols.
Here be rapidly won the favor of all his as-
sociates, and Jaii.lst,18fl2, Gov. Buckingham
commissioned him as Segt. Major of the Stli
Ct. V019,, stationed at Harper's Ferry.
In January following be was commission-
ed as first Licut. and assigned as A. D. C.
on the staff of Gen. Parke, commanding 3d
Brigade, in Dept. of North Carolina. Under
Gen. Parke he was also stationed at Fal-
montli subsequent to the battle of Fredericks-
burg and where many of our citizens were
liospitably entertained during their visits to
the army. . ,
July following, be was commissioned as
Captain and Commissary of Subsistence and
ordered to report to Gen. Burnside, where,
as in all previous positions he served with
wonderful business tact and energy and en-
tire fidelity to the onerous trusts imposed
upon him. It was after his return from the
North Carolina Expedition that he laid the
seeds of that flattering, deceptive disease,
consumption, that ended his life. He was
chosen as a fit person to act as bearerrof de-
spatclies from Fortress Monroe, overland
through the dismal swamp to North Caroli-
na, and while on this expedition imbihedtlic
miasmatic poision of that section to such an
extent as to cause a severe attack of chills
and fever, resulting in a complete under-
mining of his physical powers. Still adher-
ing to the service he was created Depart-
ment Commissary and stationed at Porta-
moutb, Va., where be contracted a severe
cold, inducing a cough, from which benevcr
recovered. It was in this bodily condition
that be accompanied Gen. Baldy Smith to
Grant’s Army at Cold Harbor and actively
participated in the movements around Berg
muda Hundred and Richmond till Lee's sur-
render. We had been a frequent visitor at
his quarters at Falmoutli, at Portsmouth, at
Cold Harbor and subsequently at Bermuda
Hundred and can add our own testimony to
the very high esteem, (often amounting to
admiration) with which lie was held by both
superior and inferior Officers and men.
Upon the fall of Richmond it was the hope
of friends knowing his precarious health,
that he would feel itliis duty to return home,
but the Rebellion Was still rife far off in the;
Departmental the Gulf and hither he has-i
tened. It Was while in the discharge of du-
ty. on board a steamer going up the Red
River in a mid-summer’s night that he lay
down exhausted upon the deck and there
contracted a final and fatal addition tO_ his
former lung difficulty» which has had so
mournfulatermination. Struggling against
disease lie traversed Europe last' year in
quest of health, spent the past two winters
in Minnesota, and but a few week's since,
conscious that longer struggling against fate
were useless, returned home—to die. Calm-
Iy, as we have said, he awaited his final sum-
mons and gave up his young life uncom-
plainingly and in the full trust Of a more
glorious immortality. Peace to his ashes——
all honor to his memory.

Report of the Connecticut S. S. Union pre-
sented May 5111, 1825, in which occurs the
following passage i".
“NORWALK.—-The Union Sabbath School
Society of this-place is composed of mem-
bers of the Congregational and Methodist
denominations. Schools were held, the last
summer, in three different sections of the
town. There are five divisions Of this So-
ciety which will this year, be under the di-
rection of as many superintendents.
Sabbath Schools have been kept in’this
town since the year 1817, but: the present
plan and constitution was adopted the last
season (1824), and we have reason to believe
much good has grown out of it. Last sea-
son there were in this society three superin-
tendents. one secretary, 40 teachers and 225
scholars." ' -
The nextycar the Conn. Union reports:
"The Norwalk Sunday Schools connected
with the Rev. Mr. Eaton's Church has two
superintendents, sixteen teachers, and 105
scholars. The Union with the Methodist
Society, which was established two years
ago, has been discontinued.”
This leaves no doubt that the Sunday
School in the First Congregational Church
in Norwalk i'vas established in 1817, as is ex-
pressly stated elsewhere in the first report
mentioned. Consequently this school is 50
years old, and is entitled to a celebration of .
its SEMI-CENTENNARY.
The same table reports the schools in Der-
by, Stonington Borough and Mystic as in-
stitulcd’the same-year, 1817. No others in
the State are reported as formed before 1818,
but. the 201k Annual Report states tliata
School was commenced in the Church un-
der the care of Rev. S. Cone, in 1810, by a
pious female, and consisted then of sixteen
scholars; I

W01" Congregational friends again ex-
perienced unpleasant weather at their Or-
gan Concert on Tuesday evening last, and
consequlantly the attendance was rather
small. Mr. Buck presided at the Organ and .
the singing by the South Church Quar-_
tctte, of Hartford, was much admired. The
church was very tastefully ornamented
with beautiful festoons and boquets'of
flowers. "

Y. M. C. A.—The regular monthly meet-
ing for the benefit of the tip-town Y. M. C.

on Sunday evening last. The pastor, Rev.
Dr. Childs, offered prayer, and Rev. Chas.Y.
Swan, of the South Norwalk Baptist Taber-
nacle, by invitation, delivered a well-written
discourse on “ Life a Work and a Warfare"
in his peculiarly energetic manner. Mr. Da-

LosT MAIL "Fauna—THE P. M. “ON Hrs
»D'.o."-—In continuation of the Post Office
Tmatlcrs 'of which we spoke last week, new
developments have been made. Our P. M.
received a letter on the 13th inst, from the
New York Office, saying that the Bank (of
Norwalk) and other letters mailed from this
office, May 15th, were this day (13th Of July)
found in a cast- away mail pouch where they
had been left by some careless porter who
had omitted taking them from the pouch;
so that relieved our local P. M. from any
further blame in the premises. To day sev-
eral of the said letters have been received
back here by the writers and having stamp-
ed on the face thereof “Missent.” Our P. M.
thinks this is adding insult to injury and is a
rather small trick to shirk the blameofl the
N. Y. Office where it belongs and give an
idea that they were misseiit by our Norwalk
Official; he consequently has “got his back
up" about it apd speaks his mind pretty
freely.

“Diavola, or, Nobody's Daughter," is the
title of Miss M. E. Braddou’s latest novel,
just published from the author‘s advance
sheets by Mr 5er Dick it: Fitzgerald, N. Y.
"Its Opening chapters introduce us to rough
and sea-going people in a low part of Lon-
don, and to a most: lovely girl, who lives by
singing in a common drinking place. The
story begins vigorously, and with the tinde-
niable power the author possesses. It is Of
course a sensation story, but. we judge by
hastily glancing through it that it is one of
the best specimens of this class of fiction,
which depends entirely for its interest on a
succession of startling incidents and a dash
of crime.” . For sale by A. Selleck ; price

Dr. Sclrcnck on Dyspepsia.
SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND REMEDY
_ Symptoms of Dyspepsia—A sense of fullness,
tightness, and weight in the stomach. together with
flatulency, acidity, sour, Offensive belching of wind.
\\'fllCl‘~l)I‘tISlI and vomiting, and a. great deal of what
a. person calls an all-gout: feeling at. the pit of the
stomach ; frc ucntly there is also a palpitatiou of
the heart, which physicians mistake for heart dis-
ease, and when the stomach is in this condition it is
coated with a mucus or slime. The rough, fibrous
portion of the stomach, similar to what we see in
tripe, is what throws out the gastric juice, and when
the stomach gets a thick coat of slime on it; if. pre-
vents the gastric juice from flowing, and digestion
ceases. Seliciiek‘s seaweed tonic dissolves this inu-
one or slime, and restores the stomach to its natural
condition.
Schenck‘s Mandrake Pills in e also required to can y
off this morbid matter. Two-thirds of the cases of
Consumption are caused from this diseased state of
the stomach; the liver becoming torpid ceases to
throw out bile, and in a short time the whole system
is deranged. The mucus membrane of‘ the bron-
chial tiilies sympathizes with the other organs, and
before the atient is aware of it, he or she has Bron-
chial or p11 monary Consumption. ' .
Sclienck’c Piilinonic Syrup cannot not freely through

dition, without the iii of the Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. The Liver has all the venous blood

blood and rim through the system mixed. and
the whole bo y becomes so low, and the blood so
thick it can hardly run through the veins. In a ma-
jority of cases hemorrhages occur from tlils thick
condition of the blood. The Mandrake Pills act on
the Liver similar to calomcl. or they do what that
does—it unlocks the gall bladders, starts the bile,
and the blood begins to circulate naturally through
the veins, and the hemorrhages cease. If when per-
sons are attacked with hemorrhage, they would first
take a good purgative, something that would act on
the liver, they would soon be relieved from
bleeding fromtlie lungs, and it is the only way, for
astringents are only temporary, and irritate the bron-
chial tubes, and lay the grouni work for consumption
