Harbor Improvement.
The commissioners appointed in the char-
ter of the Norwalk H: r‘ior Improvement 00.,
obtained at the last‘ session of the legislature,
advertised in our columns this week that the
books for subscription to the capital stock of
the company, will‘be opened on the 281h
inst., at the office of the Horse Railway Com-
pany, and we trust that our citizens will give
the matter the earnest attention and support
its great importance to the growth and pros-
perity of this‘town deserve. It is proposed
to cut a new channel from the mouth of
Pine Island creek to the railroad wharf and
to deepen the water along the wharfs to the
head of navigation in this borough, and to
make a uniform depth of channel equal to
that at the steamboat wharf at South Nor-
walk.
The line of the proposed new channel is
nearly or quite straight one from the south—
erly end of the rail road docks to the ship
yard, cutting through thesalt meadows from
near the residence of William Jennings to
the ship yard with a width of sixty feet at
bottom and a depth of water of eleven feet
The company are
authorized to charge a toll of five cents per
ton far all freight passing through the new
channel, which it is estimated will pay an
interest of eight per cent. Among the ad-
vantages that will be derived by our citizens
by the proposed improvement we have only
time today to allude to the following. It
will cheapen the price of ireight on coal,
lumber, and merchandise generally, as ves-
sels will avoid the delay now so common,
caused by shoal water and adverse winds, as
there will be a tow path made by placing the
material cut from“ the channel on the West
bank, so that vessels can be towed by horse
power should the wind be ahead.
We should have a line of propellers as
soon as the work is completed, which will in-
sure cheap, rapid and and certain communi-
cation with New York, during nearly or
quite all of the year, thus avoiding expensive
freighting by railroad. We shall have an
additiOnal wharf front between 'Norwalk and
South Norwalk (which will be used for that
purpose in less than five years after the com.
pletion of the channel) of about. five thou-
sand feet, between which and the track of
‘ the Danbury & Norwalk R. R., a strip of
land of about two hundred feet in width will
be available for sites for manufacturing es-
tablishments, the tendency of which are to
tide water, which for location having deep
water on one side and a railroad on the oth-
er is not equalled in the state, being but 43
miles from New York with the advantages
of cheap coal for steam purpose, and cheap
freights by propeller, for their raw material
and manufactured goods. The only draw-
back being a supply of water for their boil.
ers which we hope next year will be rem-
edied. We, last week, were informed by
the parties in interest that as soon as the
proposed improvements were- completed,
they would employ some three hundred
hands. Let this improvement be carried in.
to effect and we predict, that before five years
shall elapse the manufacturing business of
this town will be increased four fold. All
of our citizens are interested in .having the
project succeed—let all take hold and do their
part and it will be done.

A Hint to Norwalk.
The wide awake and prosperous town of
Mei-idemwhenjit was proposed toincorporate
its east and west wings under a city charter,
held a citizen’s meeting to test the popular
sentiment when not a single vote was cast
against it. Recently at a caucus to nominate
candidates for its city ofl‘icers, one of the
largest and most enthusiastic gatherings ever
'held in Meriden, convened and a citizens
ticket was nominated, composed of the best
men of both political parties. 80 it should
be here.

Novel Enterprise.
Mas. L. A. Smith having offered her beau-
tiful school property for sale a number of
gentlemen conceived the idea of purchasing
and retaining it for its original purpose, as a
joint stock speculation. The move is a good
one. So charming a situation should never
be diverted from its noble purpose, of a first
class Boarding School. If this enterprise
, suceeds it will continue to be, both an orna-
ment and advantage to the town, in the fu-
ture, as it has been in the past.

WA severe thunderstorm passed over
Norwalk about four o'clock .this Monday
morning. A very valuable cow belonging
to David Stephenson was struck by lighting
and killed while grazing in an open lot on
Spring Hill, near the residence of John Was—

finity for friend “David.” It. is but a few
years since that his hotel barn was burned
by a stroke of Lightning and a valuable horse
killed.

tend keeping a full and complete assortment
of every species of shell and other fish, fruit,

as “scaly” as their fish, yet a good stock and

Town Meeting.
At the “regular Town Meeting,” on Solar
day, it was voted that Rufus Fillow, Carmi
Lockwood and E. W. Stewart be a commit—
tee to ascertain the cost ‘of McAdamizing
Highway from Old Meeker Place to South
Norwalk.
A vote was taken upon the Broad River
Bridge question, which seems to have been
not clearly understood. The mover of the
vote designed to postpone action upon prop-
osition to rescind the vote erecting the
Bridge. The question was understood by
others, to indefinitely postpone the building
of that bridge and so voted for. Sinaularly
enough the Town Clerk so entered it upon
his minutes, although his impressions cor-
responds with those of the mover. '
The petition of Partrick, Warner and oth-
ers in reference to alterations in lines of High.
ways near Camp Street,wcrc postponed. A
sewer, not to cost over one hundred dollars,
was ordered to be constructed in Camp St.
and all the Highways known as Eclipse Av-
enue, Adams Street, die, left as they at pres-
ent exist. -

BAsE BALL—THC second game between
the Alert Club, of South Norwalk, and the

Wednesday last, on the grounds of the Sans
Sonci Club, in this place. There was a
large attendance of spectators considering
to the fact that it was not generally known
when or where the game was to be' played.
As will be seen by the following score, the
game was very close, closing at the chi] of
the 9th inning tie. Why the umpire did not
order another inning to be played to decide
the game we cannot conceive.

follows z—Presidenl, Theodore Scarles : Fod-
Mtary, Geo. Van De Water; Treasurer,
James W. Story. The practice days are
Tuesdays and Fridays. Two or .three
matches with ont-of-town clubs are expect—
to be played on their grounds soon,—-proba-
bly this week.
They have also challenged the first. nine
of the liberty club, to play a game this week.
A match game was played in Cranberry
Plains, last Saturday, between the Forest
club, of that place, and Eureka club, of Wes-
ton, resulting in a Vlctory for the former by
a score of 46 to 29. The Union club, of
Westport, has challenged the Forest club,
and the game will probably be played this
week.
Mr. Theo. Scarlcs, President of the Sans
Souci club, has shown us a new but for the
design of which he has applied for a patent.
The idea is to make agood bat which will
not split. The club is made the same as
those now in use, tightly wound around with
a closely knit webbing from the handle about
half the length of the bat, ending wrth a me-
talic ring. It seems to us just what is need-
ed, as it will infringe no rules, strengthens
the bat, and is easy to the hands.

Indian Massacres.
We are allowed to copy the following ex-
tracts from a letter received by one of our cit-
izens from his brother, near Omaha. “95*
‘On the night of the 9th of August, while a
freght train,consisting of twenty seven cars,
was on its way to the terminus ofthe Union
Pacific Railroad, which at present is at J ules-’
burg, it was attacked by Indians, and totally
destroyed, The particulars, as near as can
be got at, are as followsz—In the first place,
the Indians cut the telegraph wires, thereby
cutting off communications between sta-
tions. They then took the wire and lashed
some pieces of wood and stones securely on
the track, which had the premeditated effect
of causing a complete "smash-up." After
they had made preparations and were wait-
ing for the train, there came a hand-car down
the Road, to ascertain the cause of the wire
being down. Said handrar contained six
men. They had no sooner arrived at the
break, than they were surrounded by Indians
and killed and scalped.
There is an incident attached to this traga-
dy, that is unparalcllcd, and it would'secni
an absurdity to state as truth, but which is
true notwithstanding, as the evidences before
us attest. The case is this: One of the par-
tv belonging to thehand car, after having re-
c'eived several wounds, fuincd himself dead,
and suffered his scalp to be taken, in which
condition he was left by the red skins, they
being satisfied in their minds that he was
realy dead. About this time the train came
in sight, and preparations were hurriedly
made for another slaughter. Tire cars came
thundering on at the rate of 35 miles per
hour, until they were piled into one mass of
ruins. Then the slaughter commenced
afresh. - .
They killed a brakeman, engineer and
conductor. They took from the ruins what—
ever suited their fancy best, packed their
horses aud to wind up their dcviltry they
fired the train and piled the slain thereon.
During the excitement they lost some of the
scalps they had taken from the first party
and after they had left and everything had
become quiet, the» man that had feigned
death began to look around, be having been
conscious of what was going on all the time,
but dare not move while the Indians were
in sight for fear of suffering a second death.
When he was satisfied that they were gone
he bcgan'to crawl around to see what had
been done, and in his observations found his
own scalp and one belonging to the coeduc-
tor. He carefully preserved his own and it'
was brought to Omaha, along with himself,
the day after it was taken, with the View of
having it replaced. Whether it will adhere.
again, after being off so long, is a question
of doubt, time will tell. The estimated
damage to the railroad company is $200,000.

Progress of the Pacific Rail-
' way.
Dispatches from San Francisco give en-
couraging accounts of the progress and pros-
poets ofthe western end of the Great PRCIflC
Railroad. It will be remembered that Con-
gress granted to the two principal companies
—the Union Pacific and the Central Pacrfic
—the right to build their respective llnes from
opposite ends until they meet and connect.
The former having nearly crossed the level
plains of Nebraska, is rapidly approaching
the outlying frills of the Rocky Mountain
range ; while the latter, it appears, is me;
king equally gratifying headway. During
this month it is expected the last and great-
est of the tunnels on the western link n'llibe
opened, and the crossing of the dreaded Slcr-
ra Nevada Mountains be regularly made by
the locomotive, into the Great Salt Lake Ba-
sin. This achievement of hewing and blast-
ing a pathway through primevalgranltc bar-
riers, although all included within 150 lnlle3,
is equivalent to more than 600_mrles of or-
dinary railroad, in cost and rcsmtancc over-
come. Upwards of $20,000,000 have been
expended in the enterprise, which lncludes,
howeVCr, the equipment and materials for
150 miles additional. Eas‘tward of the gra-
ded portion the line has been surveyed and
lecated for 600 miles, developing an easy and
favorable route, and it is beliewd that fully
half of the distance between the Pacific
Coast and the Missouri River will be built by
the Central Pacific Company, as they are fa-
vored by having their hardest work done,
and by the presence of large numbers of cheap
and serviceable Chinese laborers. It is as-,
suriug to be informed, also, that the busmess
of the road is very large, the earnings for
July being $175,005 in gold ; while the ope—
rating expenses were less than $25,000.
The Company reesives a large subsidy
from the Government, and in order to push
on the work' with even greater energy, are
offering their First Mortgage Bonds for sale,
