Savings Bank.

At an unusually full meeting of the Board
of Managers of the Norwalk Savings So'cie-
ty, held on Saturday last, it was voted to
precced with their much talked of bulldlng
on the corner lot west of Gazette Building.
We presume, therefore, that an edifice will
now be erected worthy the town and wor-

‘thy the institution which has been so wisely
and economically managed that it shows a
surplus of nearly thirty thousand dollars. In
is the part of wisdom on the part of Its
managers to render this institution by every
means in their power, a permanent blessing
to Norwalk. Most of its deposits have been
made by Norwalk people and its large sur-
plus made out of Norwalk lenders and bor-
rowers. Moreover the care of its funds and
general management have been gratuitously
rendered by Norwalk men and it is just and
fitting that astructure should be raised, that
for all time shall be a monument to the dis-
interestcdness of these men and an orna-
ment to the place: Combined with the pro-
posed Bank Building, we are glad to know
it is contemplated to carry a capacious fire-
proof vault to the 2d story with a view of
accommodating the Probate Records of this
District. This has been successfully carried
at Danbury, that Probate District paying
rent for the room and vault. When we con-
sider the many millions of property in the
keeping of the Probate District and the in-
secure and itinerant mode ‘ of their keeping,
this feature in the proposed plan will receive
the popular aculaim we are more than confi-'
dent. We rejoice at this movement, more
over, as an evidence of the growing liberali-
ty and'intelligent enterprise of our citizens,
evincing as it does, a withdrawal of and
gradual disappearance of that “locality" nui—I
sauce, which like a lion in our path, has so
long defeated improvements and progress
needful to the common weal. We have
faith in the arrival of that epoch in our"
town’s history, when the question as to
which side the Bridge or Railroad track or
other imaginary line, will cease to be raised,
in cases of proposed local improvement.
When the one sole question will be “will it
benefit Norwalk .9" and that affirmatively an-
swered, opposition to needful improvement
shall cease. That is the most short-sighted
policy in the world which ignores the great
fact that whatever benefits Water street,
Wall street or Main street equally benefits
as all, and the selfish policy which teaches
otherwise is unworthy our beautiful and go-
ahead town. -

The new project, though in somewhat

’“copservative” hands, we have full confi-
dence will be wisely and well executed, and
such an edifice will be erected as will guar-
antee the investment of the Society’s funds
both as regards safety and profitablencss.

WWe invite a careful reading of our
correspondent‘s views in another column,
concerning the various Bridge and Road cu—
terpris‘es now on the tapls in Norwalk._
Though written in avein of humor, his criti-
cisms are worthy of serious thought. The
writer, like ourselves, is earnestly in favor of
any and all improvements that are required
or that will pay a proper return in increased
property taxation. Whenever and w herev-
er the public interests are to be promoted by
new roads and new bridges let them be built,
but none others. Thus will our healthy
growth be assured and augmented.

Free Bridge. q

The question of making a toll Bridge of
the new structure across the lIflI‘bOl‘ at South
Norwalk, begins to be mooted. Toll Bridges
are a thing of the past. We hope So. Nor-
walk will take care of its interests in that re-
spcct. Such a policy would'be nearly suici—
tlal.

W'flle Teunes see clrction rcsulted in the
re-election of Gov. Brownlow and all the re»
publican Congressmen, by over 30,000 ma-
jority. The colored vote was nearly unani-
mous for the Republican Ticket. This
shows what may be expected of the great
mass of the colored voters further south,
when their turn comes.

AH”-..—
One Bridge too many.

Wr are assured upon the authority of per—
sons living in the immediate vicinity of
Broad River, that the Bridge recently voted
for that locality is not required, either by
public or private interests, now that the
Bridge across the Silver Mine stream in the
vicinity of Olmsteads’ mill is to be built.
We are told, lnorover, that not a single name
of a resident near Broad River was upon the
petition therefore, nor 80fa7'tl8 is known dill
anyone lioing‘in that neighborhood role for it.
If these statements are true, it behooves the
overburdened tax-payers of Norwalk to con-
vene and rescind the vote whereby this
Bridge was ordered to be built. Doublless
many voted for it under the supposition that
the Silver Mine and Winnipauk Bridge
w ld not be constructed. Now that this
B dge is to be erected, it would seem that
the other one can be discontinued without
injury to any one. The river is alwayslikco
ly to be fordable during fair time for teams,
and ten dollars will fix up afoot Bridge for
pedestrians. A Bridge that will be secure
against freshets at this point cannot cost less
than from $6,000 to $8,000, and we motion
that at our next “regular weekly meeting,"
this money be transferred to the purchase
of the Judge Butler Hill side and the Chas.
Mallory Point on West Avenue for a Park
and future location for a Town House and
City Hall. We are tho ready advocate of
every new road and new Bridge that prom-
ises a public benefit, or will so raise our
grand List as to ensure a taxable increase in
excess of the interest of the outlay, but a
measure so costly and so barren of all these
advantages ought to be abandoned. '

Hill Crest Avenue.

At the “regular weekly town meeting,”
last Saturday evening, this enterprise was
“indefinitely postponed.” The vote was
swelled largely by those who want no im-
provement whatever, and who would gladly
return to the “good old days" and the year
recorded upon the marble slab so revcrently
inserted in the walls of the deserted grave-
yard on Town House Hill. There were oth-
ers present, who thed down the measure in
the sincere desire that a new lay—out of that
important thoroughf ire might be made and
the enterprise secured in proper dimensions
for an avenue which f'or all the coming cell-
turics Will form so prominent a feature in
the typography of Norwalk. The present
application is fora highway of jiflyfeot in
width and but for a few rods in length.
that should be applied for and what we
pledge the parties in interest will be noted, is
an avenue not less than one hundred feet in
width running the entire length of that hill-
crcst of surpassing beauty of land and wa-
ter views. We pledge this success, in reli-
ance upon the general good judgment. of
our people and from numerous individual
expressions of opinion. The intelligent fax

biscuils upon the waters just as long as they
are sure of withdrawing latices of bread after
afow days. Such an avenue would, in five
years, insure an increase of taxable property
of as many millions of dollars.
nuc should either start from some point on

the new Riverside Avenue, or turn, from

its intersection with the Step Hill road,

down to some point near the north-west cor- I
nor of Union Park. So started, it should

run the crest of the Hill southerly, either

above or below the Woodbury house, as

would least interfere with present improve-

ments, and terminate in some one of the

Hillside streets of South Norvalk. Such a

line of highway might be laid out now, and

perhaps only the upper end 'contracted for.

This will divest the project of all semblance

of merely individual benefit, and once con-

structed, the curmudgeon does not live who

would ever regret its cost. Let the measure

be pressedto a final conclusion now, while

it is fresh upon the popular mind. The re-

sult cannot be doubted.

Derby & State Line Railroad.

In last week’s Gazette we copied from the
(Journal‘s proceedings of the Legislature a
statement that railroad committeee No. 2,
had reported that they were entirely oppo-
sed to the granting of a charter, &c. This
statement was corrected in the next issue
of the Coconut, but escaped our notice. The
committee at first voted 5 to 3 against the
new charter, and two of the five were in
doubt whether their first ballot was in ac-
cordance with the demand of the public,
and it is believed would have changed their
votes could there have been time to have
had the matter brought before the legisla-
ture. The report of the committee was in
accordance with a request of the petition-
ers, in consequence of the few hours that
would elapse before the close of the session.

BASE BALL—The match game between
the “American club,” of Bridgeport, and the

 

-“Libertyclub,” of Norwalk, came off on

Thursday afternoon last,on the grounds of
the latter club, resulting in a splendid victo-
ry for the Norwalk club. The attendance of
spectators wag uite large, and much interest
was manifested throughout the game, which
was exceedingly well played by both sides.

The spectators freely applauded all good
points made by either side. The Bridgeport
boys played well generally, and although
unfortunate in making tallies, bore their dc-
feat good naturcdly. The game opened rich.
At the end of the third innings, the Ameri-
can boys had not succeeded in reaching the
first base, while the Liberty boys had scored
10; then came a change,- and in the next
three innings the Americans scored 3 to Lib-
erty 0; in the last three innings the Ameri—
cans made 8 tallies, and Liberty 17, the
game closing Liberty 27, American 0. Four
of the American nine succeeded admirably
in making “clean scorcs"-—under the head of
‘ outs” ; four others made one tally each, and
Stillman scored 2. The Americans made 13
outs on “fouls" to Liberty 6, and only 10
outs on bases to Liberty .17. We give below

On Thursday afternoon the Alert club, of
South Norwallr, made their third trip to
Bridgeport, for the purpose of playing the
“Blldgeport club,” the champions of that
city. Fortunately, on this occasion, the
weather was favorable and the game was
played, resulting inadcfeat for the Alert
club. The Standard says :—

“The game was close and sharp, standing
In the
701, however, the Bridgeports got a blinder,
and the Alerts scored _9, making the game
look bad for the BridgeportClub. In the
8th the Alerts scored 2, making them 11
ahead, but the Bridgeports did some heavy
batting and scored 17,—gave a blinder to the
Alerts on the 9th innings, and scored 5 more,
winning the game by eleven tallies. There
was some fine play on both sides. Bixbee
of the Alerts did some heavy halting; the
center fielder, C. Hatch, made some fine
catches, and the lst baseman, Byxbee, was
fatal frequently. Coe did some fine playing,
both on 3d base, and behind the bat. Foulk’s
pitching was sometimes wild but generally
very swift. The best score of the Alerts
was made by Waterbury. s. s.——5 runs, and 2
outs. There were three whilewasbcs on each
side which were handsomely administered.”
We give the score below :

There were some suspicious circumstances
connected with this game, and it looks as if

do with the result. At the end of the 7th
innings the Alerts were 9 ahead, but on the
8th innings the Bridgeports were somehow
allowed to make seventeen runs. One ment.

looks bad for somebody.
no truth in rumors that the game was sold
by a prominent member of the Alert nine,
but that the game was fairly played and
honorably lost.

NEW BO0Ks.—Selleck, at his Bookstore in
Lockwood’s Building, is constantly making
additions to his already large stock of miscel-
laneous books, and the lnost readable books
of the day will be found on his shelves. He
has sent as several new books and pamphlets,
this week, among which are the following :-

‘“The Household of Sir Thomas Moore,”
by the author of “Mary Powell.”
new edition, with an appendix, very hand-
somely printed and bound. The style is very
much like “The Schonberg Gotta Family,”
the type is “old English,” and the work is ev-
idently afac similc of the first edition. It is
a very readable book, and will attract and
please from its quaintness, while it teaches
sound morality.

“Jacques Bonneval; or, The Days of the
Dragonnades,” by the same author, is print-
ed in similar‘manner. The story is told in
plain, simple language, and cannot fail to in-
tcrcst cultivated readers. Both of these

books are published by M. W. Dodd,506,

Broadway, -N. Y.

“Beauty and tlle'Beast,” by Miss Thacke-
ray, is the title of' an cXcellent short story
reprinted from “The Cornhill Magazine,” in
pamphlet form, and sold at 15 cents.

“ Dixie Cookery; or, how I Managed My
Table for Twelve Years," is a practical Cook
Book, designed expressly for Southern
Housekeepers, by Mrs. Barringer, of North
Carolina. It is filled with recipes for cook-
ing almost everything, and our northern la-
dies who give personal attention to their ta-
bles may derive many valuable hints from its
pages. Publislléd by Luring, Boston ; price
50 cents. .

Roads and Bridges.
.Mnssns. EDITons:—I have the honor to
be a citizen and a taxpayer of Norwalk.—
How good a one may be inferred from the
fact that my annual account with Mr. Ray-
mon‘d is always squared up with promptncss
and without grumbling; that I believe Nor-
walk to be the finest place in the world ; to
have more natural advantages, more sub-
lime scenery, .morc women of surpassing
beauty and men of gigantic intellect, more
political integrity, genuine religion, enlight-
ened enterprise and public spirit than are
concentrated in any other twenty square
miles of earth. Furthermore, I am azealcus
advocate of internal improvement; I believe
in the Horse Railroad, the Derby railroad,
the public park, the new town house, the
water works, and in new highways and
bridges. I delight in every new stride which
N orwalk takes toward Millennial perfection,
bill, of late, -my' satisfaction therein has not
been unalloycd. I am apprehensive that the
symmetry of the whole may be marred by
undue expansion in one department. That
department is bridges. Our people are liber-
al, to say the least, in the briige line. Had
the late lamented General Assemblyposstseed
a tithe of our zeal in that direction, it would
have both authorized the Middletown draw-
But
though I stoutly protest my soundness on
the question of bridges generally, there is a
limit to my credulity even in that line.—
Should any one propose a bridge from Wil-
son’s Point to Smith’s Island for the accom-
modation of picnic parties, I should vote no
in town meeting. If it wereproposed to re-
establish a decent carriage way between
Norwalk and south Norwalk by means of a
suspension bridge from one to the other I
should hesitate to support the project until
we had tried the experiment of filling up the
holes on West Avenue with gravel. The
same reasoning that would influence me in
(such cases has recently led me to doubt the
unfailing wisdom of the impecun'lous sover-
eigns who manage matters at our town meet“

ings, and I now respectfully beg leave to di~
root the' attention of the taxpayers of this

town to the recent town votes making ap-
propriations for—

lst—Tllc bridge at Silver Mine, voted as a
compromise between the demands of the
thousands who daily hie them thither to
have corn ground and the millions who want
ten dolTar building lots. The settlement of
this little difference will cost the town $2500.

2nd—The new bridge at Winnipauk, de-
signed for the benefit of certain parties who
can take care of such portions of the pres-
ent highway as may be rendered useless to
the publlc thereby and for the convenience
of certain other parties who live on one side
of the river and have their hog-pens on the
other and whose pork this year, if the
scheme is successful, will be pickled down
with about $4500 of the public money.

3rd—The new bridge, or rather four new
bridges, at Broad River, which it is not
claimed will benefit anybody and which will
deplete the town treasury between $5000 and
$0000 to begin with, and a much larger
amount after thenext “big fresh" if the town
should stick to its resolution to havca bridge
there. ‘

The moral from this is that, to ensure suc-
cess at town meeting, a project must require
a large expenditure of money, in some out-
of-the-way portion of the town,and be of no
possible benefit to the public generally, and
reason that such votes are passed is that the
persons who attend town meetings are trialli—
ly those who can enjoy the jokes with the
severe conviction that somebody else will
have to pay for them. _

Where are the men who once kept unceas-
ing watch and ward over the public money
chest, who kept it locked and “sot on the
lid ?" Where are the sturdy sorts of South
Norwalk, mighty in town meeting? Look,
and you behold them, surfeitcd with the
consummation of their ownllopcsun the ele-
gant and substantial structure that now spans
the creek, busily dividing their end of the
town into 7 by_9 building lots, content to let
this end run itself meanwhile. Where, too,
is the staunch protector of the public purse
from West Norwalk, whom . neither oceans
of mud, nor seas of rain, nor summer’s beat
her winter’s cold could keep at home when
an appropriation of town money was threat-
ened. Have we, alas, realized the fate fore-
told iu his despairing cry? Have we “drift-
ed away into a boundless ocean of expense
without compass or chart,” and does he even
now wander on the far distant shore of con-
servative economy, deserted and alone, with
none to hear his plaintive warning?

How long, oh, how long? The answer is
easy. Until some project of real merit is
proposed. Some plan which for every dol-
lar expended would give ten-fold return in
the increased convenience and happiness of a
respectable number of citizens. Then, at
least, unquestioning Folly will be dethron-
ed, niggard Parsimony will resume its sway
at town meetings, and with refreshed ener-
gies slaughter alike the good and bad. Gen-
tlemen taxpayers it might be wise to try the
experiment of mixing a little common sense
with the pure democracy of town meetings.
It might be benefical to display at one end of
your town hall the motto, “Save at the spig-
got and waste at the bung,” and at the other
end “Penny wise, Pound foolish." They are
certainly appropriate. It might be profita—
ble if some of you who know the difference
between chalk and cheese would occasional-
ly take part in the deliberations there held.
You are not mercenary. Then go for the
fun of it, if you can appreciate the ludicrous.
Keep on staying away if you choose. “Yeti

A WIFE 0N Blr.r.IARDs.—Yon editors pub-
lish prominently the commendations which
Mrs. H. Beecher Stowe and other clergy-
meu’s wives give to “billiards as a recrea-
tion,” etc. Now that is all very well. for
minister’s wives. Very nice, indeed. Their
husbands do not go out evenings to spend
half their nights in saloons where billiards
are kept. But here is my husband, who is
not a minister nor in any hope of becoming
one, quoting Mrs H. Beecher Stowe to me,
when I protest against spending his time
and money in such “recr. a'ion.” Recreation
indeed ! It costs him from two to seven (lol-
lars—and even as high as ten dollars—every
night that he is recreating, as he now calls
it. And I may sit up or go to bed, as I
choos , for my “recreation,” while he is play-
hg bl liards. I was perfectly crazv to go to
the concert on Wednesday evening ; but no,
I had to stay at home, as my husband had
an “engagement” at abilliard saloon. I told
him, “no wonder pcoplearc driven to getting
divorces.” And for my part, I don’t see
what recreation or rational amusement there
is in billiards, anyway. I often think of
what Sir Walter Scott said about the game :
“He could not see what sport there was in
knocking little balls around with a stick on
a green baized table.” I wish you would
give us women and wives a place for pro-
testing, in your paper, against Mrs. H. Beech-
er Stowe’s recommendation of a game, of
the consequences of indulgence in which, by
husbands who are not saints or saintly pro.
fessors, she has evidently very little or no
conception—Gold [It'll News.

For the Norwalk Gazelle.

A Need of N orwalk.

Some little time since, we read in the “Gazette” a
few lines, noticing the opening of a course of Lee-
tures and the establishment of a public Library in
Rowayton. Since that time we have yaillly looked
fortllc evidence of a movement to establish SOIIIC-
thing of the kllld here in Norwal k, thinking that the
citizens of so large a place would doubtless feel
ashamed to allow a small adjacent village to take the
lead of them in such matters. Nothing, however,
so'f'ar as we have had opportunity to observe, has
as yet been done or said in this direction, and the
writer, albeltastrangcr in the town; ventures now
to take the liberty of addressing a few earnest words
to the people of Norwalk on this 58116ch

Itscems unnecessary in this age of literary culture
andadvancement to enumerate the advantage: and
bencfltsaccruing to any village, town or city from
the establishment of a free public Library and Read-
ing Room; but we cannot refrain from calling the
attention of parents to the fact that these furnish
resorts o; healthier moral influence for young men
and boys, than do street. corners, bridge railings, or
liquor saloons. There are many young men in Nor-
walk who would be glad to spend their evenings inn
pleasant well-lighted Reading Room in preference to
remaining in the dreary seclusion of their unhomc-
likc rooms in boarding houses, and who would be
grateful to the public spirit which would secure to
them a well-stocked Library from which to select
books whose cheerful companionship would make
the bare walls of those rooms forgotten or unhecded.

Besides these considerations and others which
will readily suggest themselves, it should be remem-
bered thatapnblic Library and Reading Room rc-
flects credit on the public spirit of oily town, andis
astamp 9f the enterprise, intelligence, and culture
of its inhabitants.

That there are many people ill Norwalk who feel
this need greatly we are assured from personal eon-
vcrsation with various citizens. When, however,
the subject is broached they sigh dismhlly, regret the
lack of public spirit in Norwalk, and give utterance
to the wish that some of its capitalists would take
the matter in hand, and perpetuate their name and
fame by bestowing this been as a free gift to the
town. But they forget that it isa trait of human
nature to be only keenly alive to our own selfish in-
terests, and capitalists do not often change their "na-
turc with the accession of wealth. Their children

are not the ones who need to patronize public Iitc-'

rary institutiqus. Master and Miss Croesus have
only to glance over the papers anu magazines which
papa’s wealth supplies, to choose from the adver-
tisements and reviews the books best suited to their
taste—books which when once chosen are immedi-
ately brought to them by the good but partial fairy—
ready money. Bllt men of moderate circumstances,
young mechanics, shop girls, and laboring. men,
who constitute the majority in any place, cannot so
readily spare several dollars a week or month even,
to supply the cravings of their intellectual appetite,
and thus they are the ones who should make the
necessary effort to establish something of" the kind.
Avery little money from each citizen would do it,
so that there were combined action, which In this
case ought to be easy. The Catholics of the United
States generally comprise the very poorest and most
ill-paid class of its population, yet sec whatmngnif‘l-
cent buildings they erect, what institution they up-
hold,by their cheerful and combined contributions.

Citizens of Norwalk ! is it not worth something of
an effort: to build up for yourselves and for your chil-
drcll a Library and Reading Room which shall avail
more than your schools even, to purify and elevate
the moral standard of your town? Willi these two
institutions firmly established, your young men will
learn to care for other and higher things than a fast
horse, a brandy smash, gin sling, .or a cigar, anrl~“tbc
stranger that is within thy gates” will no longer
wander disconsolately through your beautiful streets
without aplacc of assured respectability to resort
to.

We understand that the Young Men‘s Christian
Association have already done something in the way
of opening a Reading Room. We do not knowjust
how much they have done or how far this institution
is free to the public, or whether Indies a - permitted
to attend or not, but we honorandthauk them for
so much of a movcmcntin the right way as their ef
fort, however limited, certainly must be, for the town
of Norwalk. s. A. I'.

Frus'r Omss IN Cannon—The following
arbitrary distinctions of rank and birth find
an odd illustration in the following recent
letter to the London Times. The writer
signs himself “A Younger Son.”

“An incident which occurred to me not
many years ago may throw some light on
the principles which guide the Chapel Royal
ofiicinl in their distribution of seats.

“On entering chapel doors one Sunday
morning Iwas stopped by the verger, who
said there was no place for Inc.

“I had never attended service in it in my
life forI wasot a new creation, but I knew that
lonsofpeers had certainly privileges of‘entrv
so with a little pal-donable pride of manner
said. I am the son of a peer.’ ‘Tllc eldest son?
asked'the verger,just as if he were a young
lady in her second season. ‘No,‘ said Irucfully
a‘ younger son only. “Then you cannot have
ll seat until the second lesson, ‘ replied the
discriminating vergcr.

“It is out of my power to say whether the
offer of a two shilling piece would have
raised the in the estimation of the simple
minded vergcr to the level of an eldest son,
for I (lid not try him, but walked away,
moralizing as I went; on the advantages and
disadvantages attendingtlle position in this
world of an elder and a younger son."

Possible it was thought that the chances
of an eldest son going to what Mr". Mantalini
called the "denlllition lmW-WCWS," are so
much greater that he needs special “means
of grace“ to set against them. '

WMr. R. R. Sinclair, a correspondent of
the N. Y. Timer, who has in 'In sojourning in
town the past week, has a le ‘er in that pa-

walk," from which we make like following
extracts :—

NorWaIk proper is situated about two
miles above the depot, the two places being
connected by a line ofhorsc cars that have
been in operation for nearly four yellls. The
company having the lillc under management
enjoy the favor ofthe citizens. ‘3 i“ Along
the route ofthe horse railroad NYC to be seen
some ofthe finest residences ill the State.
One of these, now in course of erection by
Mr. Le Grand Lockwood, a well known
Wall-street, stock broker, will cost, with the
grounds, nearly two millions of dollars
and when completed, will stand
with scarcely a rival ill the United States.
The designs were furnished by an eminent
European architect, who has planned many
of the p a l atial residences beyond the
great pond.

Speaking ofthctwo town as one, I will
say that Norwalk contains nine churches,
four hotels, fivc banks, and one newspaper
office. The NQI‘WfIlk Gazette is a neat read-
able paper of the Radical stripe with a pay-
ing list of subscribers. The streets are neat-
ly laid out, and brightly lighted by gas of a
syupeIrior quality, generally, to that of New

or I. ,

. South Nelwalk and Norwalk proper, or as
It ls familiarly know, “up town,” boast of an
aggregate population of about 11,00 persons,
who entertain strong hopes of soon being
unlted under the dignified title of‘ a city.—
The political complexion ofa large majority
of the male inhabitants is Republican, of the
conservative school ; and, be it said to their
credit, as many of the gentler sex, in this as
in all important matters, follow the superior
judgment bf their protectors, and would
doubtless, if the rirrht of suffrage were con-
fcrred upon them, which they do not seem
to desire), vote the right ticket, and thus help
greatly the cause of right and human pro-
gress.

South Norwalk is the stopping-place (?) of
the New York and New Haven Railroad, as
well as of the steamer Nelly While, that plies
daily between here and New York. The
boat route by the Sound seems to be prefer-
red to the dusty, smoky c.lr travel; and as
there is very little difference in the time, the
steamer is liberally patronized by the travel-
ing public. The Daubury Railroad trains
leave the depot daily, morning, noon and
evening.

Norwalk is about to take lessons from
New York, in two matters, among others.
One of these is the cooperative store system.
The agitation of the subject by the New
York Times and other leading journals has
attracted the attention of the people here,
and it is highly probable that in a short time
this advantageous plan will be in full opera-
tion. It is also contemplated by the residents
to have a series of outdoor summer concerts
in one of the larger suburban parks. Your
Central Park musical entertainments have
awakened a. like interest here.

A great 'many visitors are here for the sea-
son f'rom New York and elsewhere, who
are attracted hither by the unsurpassed en-
joyments of the place. The beautiful drives
leading out of the town are daily frequented
by the elite, whose elegant equippages and
outfits do honor to their owners. Boating
and fishing are also extensively indulged in,
and moonlightas well as sunlight excursions
are of' everyday occurrence.

The mania for playing at base-ball has
reached this place, and now nearly every lit-
tle boy of three years of age and upward is
connected with a “club” that plays regularly
once or twice a day. Older persons are
scarcely less enthusiastic, and matches are of
frequent occurrence. On Thursday a very
interesting game was played between Liber-
ty club of N orwalk, and American of Bridge-
port, resulting in the overwhelming defeat of
the latter, the score showing 27 runs for Lib-
erty and 6 for the vanguished ones. The
Byington grounds, where the contest took
place, were largely attended, and- the excite-
ment was unabated during the three hours
continuance. of the match.

WThe little steamer NELLY WIIITE runs
from the foot of Market St., E. R, to Nor-
walk, Conn, every day (Sundays excepted),
at 3 12 o’clock P. M., and returning, leaves
Norwalk the fbllowing morning at 7 3-4
o‘clock. It afl'ords one of the most delight-
ful excursions from New York, and we speak
from our omiexpericnce as well as I'rolnthe
experience of litany friends, when we make
the assertion. The scenery of the river and
the smooth waters of Long Island Sound,
are too well known to need any comment
from us. In addition to this, we can confi-
dently commend the quiet and steady little
steamer and her speed, as unsurpassed by
anything on these water. Without crowd-
ing on any extra steam, this little vessel has
passed the larger boats for Hartford, Ne w-
I-Iavcn and 'Bl'idgeporf, so nicely and tri-
umphantly as to make it a favorite with
many travelers ill the direction of Norwalk
and adjoining towns. The Nelly White is
commanded by Capt. Monk, who seems to
be a favorite with all who travel with him.
