gamut Gazette August 27, 1867. Tuesday, Sheridan Removed. All remember the ,‘electric currents that thrilled every loyal pulse as the tidings swept the country that little Phil. Sheridan had sent Jubal Early “whirling down the valley." Recently one Andrew Johnson has been indulging himself in the same rebel whirl, and J ubal being bitterly hostile to lit- Phil, ergo Andrew Johnson, must also be his bitter foe. As the loyalty of the one be- came the more conspicuous the venom of the other became more malignant. All rebel- dom gnashed their teeth over Sheridan’s mild, just, patient and patriotic rule in New Orleans. Andrew Johnson espousing their creed and their cause rested not till he had done all in his feeble power to dishonor him. But the fact that the recrcant President (as devoid of patriotism, as he is well known by every man, woman and child in Washing— ‘on to be of personal character), hated Sheri- . .n, has inspired the people with an admira- 1. .1 of the little hero amounting almost to idolatry. And would it not be a curious recompense if this act of impotent rage should result in rising this Mordecai to the “Kings” palace? And yet, the present cur— rent of events tend strongly thither. The telegraph announces that Gen. How- ard is to be the next victim—the Havelock of the American Army. The rebels took his arm and it is but fitting that Andrew Johnson should finish the work by taking his head. .<.p..._____. Drainage. The Selectmen are making a substantial Drain, as per vote of the town, in Camp street, to carry off the water that accumu latcs there when the ground is frozen. It is little short of robbery for the town and Bor- ough to extort taxes from residents on pub- lic highways where the water every winter inundates and blockades their dwellings and every summer imperils the health of families and whole neighborhoods. The recent rains have given the public some idea of the intol- erable nuisance of stagnant water in front of Fairfield County Bank and the strip of road running from the Railroad Bridge to Isaac’s Hill. Here, owing to the stoppage of the flow of water, caused by the railroad bridge, is a constant cess pool and mud slough, the entire length of the road. The beautiful elms, otherwise a blessing, now keep the sun from drying up the mud and here this swamp hole has exhaled its poisonous miasma all summer long. We are glad to know that some effort is being made for its abatement. There are sev- eral waysfiit may be thoroughly accomplished and at the same time drain the water from the Avenue leading to Union Park—where it has been known to remain more than two feet deep for days. One, and the cheapest way, doubtless, would he to sewer it down to the railroad bridge. and cross the tunnel by the means of a large iron pipe to the east side, where the sewer may proceed to the Bridge, and there empty into the river, An- other feasible mode, would be to cut a cov- ered sewer below the road-bed down the Miss Belden’s Lane and out into the river at or near the Brady Crossing. While another mode, which has hitherto seemed to meet with more general acceptance is to sink an arched sewer deep under ground, and carry it through the land of Mr. Samuel Lynes or Charles Issues, and out under the Railroad track and into the dock near the Coal Yard. A still more feasible, cheaper and better mode, would be for the town and Borough to unite in some mutual arrangement with the Danbury (f: Norwalk Railroad Company whereby their track might be lowered six or eight inches, their roof‘beams made of iron instead of huge logs andthns a depression of at least a foot obtained, when a true grade may be cut from Isaacs’ Hill to the stone bridge across the river, and then all surface water in winter, will take care of itself, and the line of Horse Railway and the public road be improved. .- However, something ought to be done for the health and protection of our citizens along this route. n<.>..————_ WThe Harbor Bridge at South N orWalk is so nearly completed that teams can cross the same. Few of our citizens, we opinc, have begun to conjecture the full significance of this local improvement. Plain “Old Well” of other years will now roll her wealth and spread her growing parallels around up- on the site of ancient Norwalk, till covering old “Down Town” we blend into one har- monious municipality. All hail the New Bridge.

They will be received at the landing, provided with dinner, and es- corted around town. They bring their Regi- mental Band with them, numbering thirty pieces, and a drum corps of fifteen, and will give a Promenade Concert at Ely’s Hall, in the evening, for the benefit of Fitch’s Home. They will stay all night and take their de- parture for New Haven Wednesday mor- ning.

Bullock A correspondent sends us the following : The match game of ball played between the Washington club of Portchester, and the San Souci club of this place, Aug. 23d, on the grounds of the latter club, resulted in favor of the latter. This result was some— what expected in consequence of the San Souci’s playing their new pitcher, who pitch- es not only'swift but with good judgement. Although no notice was given of' the match, quite a crowd were assembled to witness the game, among whom we noticed a number of the Liberty club, who have not yet got their “courage up to the sticking point” but leave the San Souci’s challenge unacceptcd. The game was played in two hours time and was umpired by Mr. Ed Gruman of the Lib- erty club, who should be proud of his suc- cess, for he is the first one upon record, who in that uncnviable position, vplcascd every- body, contestants and spectators; giving his decisions promptly, in a good loud tone, and without asign of partiahty. The San Sou- ci's are getting along bravely, they have nearly an hundred names upon their list, and are daily strengthening their first nine and will have as soon as their grounds are finished, the finest in the Slate; they float upon a fifty foot polc a beautiful banner pre- sented by the ladies of the Norwalk Hotel, and report says that hereafter, both upon practice days (Tuesdays and Fridays) and when match games are played, they are to furnish Turkish lounges for the accommoda- tion of spectators.

I DEAR GAZETTE—It may be a service to some of your readers who are desirous of a week of recreation and improvement, to map out for them one of many routes by which to attain their object, and to indicate the expenses incident thereto. So, gentle reader, take advice and start for NIAGARA. Go by one of the splendid day- boats of the Hudson River, via. Albany or Troy, that you may feast your eyes on the most magnificent scenery which is opened by any so accessible, and so pleasant, and so economical a route in the country, with thri- ving cities as the termini. If you are already familiar with this portion of the way, then take the night boat to Athens at 8 o'clock, from the foot of Chambers street, New York, and pay the clerk at the office on the pier forathrough ticket and baggage check to Niagara Falls, which will cost you (at last week’s prices) $8.25. Your supper, state- room berth, and breakfast, all excellent, will be $3. You start from Athens at6 1-2 o’clock and have acool, dewy merning’s ride with fine views of the Hudson and the country to Schenectady, the s. at of Union College, where you join the passengers that left New York two hours before you. Hence moving rapidly but smoothly up the beautiful valley of the Mohawk, you reach Utica at 11.10 a. m. Leaving your baggage to go on, step over to the office under Bagg’s Hotel, and purchase a ticket for Trenton Falls and back, which will cost you $1.40; and as soon as you can take your seat in a car of the Black River Railroad, which is waiting one track parallel to that which you have just lefr,you are whirled northward for an hour and set down at a little shanty, called a station, on the top of a sandy hill. If you are “travelling on your muscle," and the weather is not too hot, you may save fifty cents stage fare by walking less than a mile to the hotel, where you can order a lunch. Then you pass through a gate (paying 25 centsif you have no hotel ticket), and dc- scend the long stairway down, down, down, until you have reached the bottom of the chasm and the level of the bright, flashing river,'whence you stop to look up, lost in wonder and admiration :at the dashing wa- ter-fall in front, the precipitous, overhang- ing rock, and the twin mountains on the other side rising from the bed of the waters covered with verdure and beauty. Now you pursue your narrow foot-way, climbing sometimes, then treading thelevel rock-floor, then clinging by a chain to the narrow ledge which gives you a foot-hold above the rush- ing torrent, until you have reached the far— therest cascade, whence you return, by a for- est path along the crest of the hill thatover hangs river and fal ls, and gives glorious- glimpses down through the trees,back to the hotel and thence to the station, and thence back to Utica in time for the next train on the Central Railroad. Rushing on through Rome, , Syracuse. Rochester, Lockport, &c., you reach N iaga- ra at half-past12 p. m., and find you have only exchanged five hours of your evening’s rest at your hotel (the Cataract, if you are wise), for your delightful detour to Trenton, which so pleasantly introduces and prepares you for Niagara. Nobody can do justice to the grand cata- ract by any power of description. Throw open your chamber-window, by moonlight or by the first morning’s ray, to catch your first view of the foaming rapids. Go down into the elegant parlor on the second floor and out upon the surrounding broad piazza, and drink in a better sight. As you look up the river those bright, green waters seem to be poured out from the distant horizon, or cloud, that bounds your vision. All this, however, you will better enjoy as you pass over the strong bridge to Goat Island that spans the angry billows, and stop a moment to gaze at the green islets, inaccessible to the foot of man. You cheerfully drop your quarter in- to the hand of the toll-gathercr, a small trib- ute to the architect who has opened to you the forest-crowned island, with its Lunar Satellite, which lies between the American and Horse Shoe Falls, and affords you such a grand spectacle on either hand. When you have satiatcd your soul, for the time, with the grandeur and glory that are burst- ing upon your rapt eyes, at every turn, through mists and rainbows, as you have de- scended the Biddle Stair-case—and the Cave of the winds,(if you are bold enough to en- ter)-and as you have climbed Terrapin Tower, you are ready to return in time for a capitaldinner for which you have a craving appetite. , After dinner you sally forth again. Per- haps your wearied limbs suggest a drive, and so you enter a carriage and are conveyed down to the Whirlpool (lake advice and don’t weary yourself, ‘and to no purpose, by descending a stairway and stony-way, equi- rated, in all, to 425 steps). Thence you re- trace half of your road to Suspension Bridge, which you cross into Canada, and are driven along the edge of the rushing tor- rent,passing by the Clifton House, up to Ta- ble Rock, whence you will admire the most majestic revelation of the Wonder of the Continent, spanned by the overarching bow of the Covenant of peace formed by the rays of the declining sun, resting either pillar on the center of the American endfiof the Eu- glish Fall, and towering in brilliant beauty over the encircled islands. But if you are still “travelling on your muscle” you may save yourself the cost of a carriage (which if occupied by you alone will cost some $5 or $6,'but may be divided or sub-dividcd'wilh companions) and may walk over the ground now described. Or you will not lose very much if you omit the Whirlpool and the crossing of the Bridge, and walk along the eastern side of the American Fall to the inclined plane down which, in a small car, you descend. (and re- turning ascend) and by a small boat you are ferried across the resting, eddying waters wh_ose force seems to be paralyzed, for a lit- tle, by their tremendous fall. Having had one of the most satisfying of all the sights of the enchanting spot, you are landed at the foot of therock below the Clifton House, and by a smart but easy walk may climb up to the plateau and soon stand on Table Rock. This little episode has costyou 61. Thus you have passed one ever-tobe-re- membcrcd day at Niagara Falls. If you can, you will wish to spend another,and another. But if you cannot afford this luxury, you pay mine host of the Cataract $5.25 for board, boots, porter and “bus,” and with a ticket for New York, purchased near at hand of the agent of the Erie Railroad, for $6.75, you take your seat at 6 1-2 o’clock, p. m., in the train for Buffalo. Your pleasant evenings rideopenst 0 you continual commu- nion with the famous frontier river on your right hand, until you have traced it to its mother-lake, on whose bosom rcposcs the beautiful western-most city of the Empire State. You have three or four hours for re- freshment at the hotel (perhaps the Tefi‘t House) and for a stroll or ride through the wide streets and long avenues (by all means sec Delaware Avenue and Main Street), and at 11 o’clock you drop into one of the wide, luxurious cars of the Eric Railroad and compose yourself to: a good night’s rcposc. While you sleep you are transported through a section of comparatively little in- terest, but when you wake you are in the valley of the gently flowing Susquehanna, O and filled with calm pleasure as you glide r along through its placid beauties, and pass by its lovely towns,’Elmira, Owego, Bing- hampton, &c. ‘ A refreshing wash in a marble bason and an excellent breakfast at Susquehanna have prepared you to cross over to the wilder, ruder landscapes of the Delaware, and given strength and courage to encounter its start- ling threats of danger, as your swift train courses along the rough sides of craggy mountains, suspended by the skill of the engineer over lofty precipices and yawning chasms, until you take breath and leave of the subdued river at Port Jervis, sitting like a queen in the midst of beauty. Now you climb the green hills, and admire the rich meadows and pastures, and noble herds of Orange County and its smiling towns, Middletown, Goshen, Chester, Mon- roe &c.,—dash through the mountains of Rockand Co. and of Northern New Jersey along the Passaic, by Paterson and across the Hackensack meadows and under‘ Ber- gen Hill, and if “on time," you reach the foot of Chambers-st.,——whence you started a few days before in season to take the 4 1-2 o’clock Express train for Norwalk—~glad to have gone—glad to reach “Sweet Home.” All this pleasure and improvement you may have at a cost of three days’ time—if you cannot give more, and are strong enough for the work required—and of $35, if the rates of travel continue as they were a few days since, increased or diminished by your indulgence or self-denial, and by the number of days added to your Excursion. And what have you gained? Change of scene, enlargement of‘ thought, enriching of memory, and, if devout; a great increascvd enjoyment of grateful,'pious emotion o- ward the Great Creator and Giver of all good Vra'ron. N. B.—By all means take your wife, or daughter; for although you thus double your expenses, you quadruple your pleas- ures. Massus. Enr'rons :—Those of your read- ers who failed to see a sight that was seen by many on the night of Aug 19th, lost some- thing that ought to have been seen by every one old and young. ~ At about five minutes after 10 o’clock while returning home, quicker or as quick, as lightening, a bright light lit up the whole Heavens,—so bright you could see every- thing around. At first it startled me a little. I thought it was lightening and looked up to see where it came from when a sight was presented to my view I would not have lost for a good deal. Right overhead was a ball (nota base ball) that looked likes. sky.rock- st of all colors descending toward the West, but no human being ever contrived any- thing to compare with that. It was about 3 inches in diameter and seemed to be revolving very fast and of every color of the Rainbow. When about half way between the place where it started from and the Horizon,-it burst and you ought to have seen the young Meteors skeedadling in each direction and of every color. It lasted 2 or 3 seconds and again I was left in the dark, nearly blinded withits brightness. A ‘ —4.<.>. It pays to give Scofield db Barnum‘a call it is no trouble for us to show our goods. —S. &.

Here fair weather has been the exception, it raining nearly every day during the last two weeks. .4.-.._._.._ WThe annual meeting of the Center School District was held on Friday evening last. The old board of officers was unani- mously re-elected, and a vote was passed rinsing the salary of each female teacher $50 per year. The report of the committee shows that the income of the school the past year exceeded the current expenses some- thing over $2OC—a very gratifying report. A discussion was had as to the advisibility of starting aHigh School Department and a sentiment expressed in its favor, and it is probable that a thorough High School course will be inaugurated at no distant day. We are glad to hear of this movement, and are confident that if well carried out it will prove to the very best interest of the school, and acrcdit to the town. We also believe that it will prove profitable in a pecuniary sense. Latin, Philosophy, Algebra, &c., are already taught, and add churactcr,—and scholars,—to the school. A class in Geome- try is to be formed next term, which com- mences Monday next. .‘sto—__.— Donner AND SON.—Ticknor & Ficlds’ beautiful Diamond Edition of this popular novel can be had at Sellcck's.

A large crowd of people assembled on the steamboat wharf, South Norwalk, on Wed- nesday morning last, to witness the depart- ure of the grand Sunday School Pic-Nic Party,—thclargest and most pretentious ex. cursion, probably, that has ever sailed from Norwalk. It secured at one time as if South Norwalk was about being depopnlatcd. We regret we were unable to accept an invita— tion to attend, butarc indebted to a corre- spondent for the following account of the al- fair ;— “ The Union Pic-nic of the Congregation- al, Methodist Episcopal and Baptist church- cs came oil, according to announcement, on Wednesday last. The heavens seemed to be propitious towards the children, an .1 at 9 a. m., the schools formed into line,:md hcad~ ed by the Norwalk Band, marched to the steamer Stamford, chartered for the occasion, proceeding to Charles’ Island where they ar- rived after a pleasant two hours’ sail. The landlord was found to be a very obliging man, and the party were furnished with ta- bles and needf'uls to get up a dinner for 600. Everything passed off pleasantly ; the Band discoursed some of its best music; several quartette clubs sung sweet songs in the par- lors of the hotel and a most refreshing social season was spent. The committee of ar- rangements representing the three churches, at a meeting subsequent to the day of excur. sion, tendered a vote of thanks, unanimouly for his liOSpitable welcome, to Mr. Barnes, the proprietor of the Hotel on the Island. After a few hours of select pleasure we set sail on a smooth sea and reached our des- tination in safety without an accident to mar the harmony that prevailed. Hearty thanks are due to the indefatigable committee and and others for the arrangements whereby so many were favored with so rare an occasion of christian and social reunion. The pic-nic this year wassomewhat novel, being a union pic-nic, and the result shows both the pro- prety and utility of uniting so\many noble workers in such a movement. Let those doubtthe feasibility of Sabath School Pic- nics who wrll, none who were at Charles’ Island doubt that the day was most pleas- antly spent.” On Wednesday afternoon the Winnipnuk Sunday School, numbering about one hun- dred children, assembled at the School House in that place, formed into procession, and preceded by the Weslport Brass Band, marched to Belt’s Grove, on the ridge cast of the turnpike. Here seats had been provided for about 200 persons, and after all were comfortably sealed a prayer was offered by Mr. Francrs L. Aiken. Rev. Mr. B‘ritton fol- lowed with a short address, at the close of which the air secured filled with mystery, and it was evident that something unusual was going to happen. Mr. Frank Brown, a member of the Bible Class arose and in a neat little speech, complimentary to the Sn— perintendent, MR. LEwrs HUBBELL, present- ed that worthy gentleman with a beautiful SiIVer Ice Pitcher, a well merited token of regard from the ‘teachers of the School and members of the Bible Ciass. Mr. H. was surprised but not demoralized, and modestly accepted the offering in a short reply. The Band struck up and the committee proceed- ed to dispense tempting refreshments from a long table which had been laid under the trees, and which was decorated with boquets of flowers, and formed one of the most pleas- ing features of the occasion. Refreshments in abundance had been provided for the children, the teachers, and their many friends present.
