Our Progress.
We confess to a somewhat vivid degree of
appreciation of the manifold attractions pf
Norwalk. We have watched its growth, m
numbers, in wealth and all maternal prosperi-
ties, with a gratification no words of ours
can adequately express. Here our earliest
ehildhood's recollections cluster, and here,
God willing, we mean to lay off the harness
of a more than ordinary, anxious and labori-
ous life, and sleep beneath her genial clay
at the end. From time to time, during more
than twenty years connection with the Ga~
zETTE, have we predicted its certain devol-
opment and as sure alvancement. And who
shall say that in all. our sanguine predictions
we have ever exceeded the present reality.
Along Main street, where erst we saw a half
dozen low, dingy, dirty and decaying stores
and tenements, stately brick blocks now or-
nament the street. The Connecticut Hotel,
the Post Office Building, Horse Railroad
Depot, Smith’s Phoenix Block, Shepherd’s
Brick Store, Lockwood‘s noble edifice, the
crowning architectural glory of the eastsidc,
the new Churches and renovated private
residences‘on the hills surrounding and adja-
cent, and Selleck’s imposing school building,
stand as permanent and pleasing monuments
to our prosperity and thrift. The old Town
House—burlesquing the Pattigonian mud-
huts—remains to mock us with its dingy,
forbidding walls, yet the grave-yard adjacent
has been refenccd and the briars and bram-
bles partially subdued, showing at least a
faint attempt at improvement. Coming
westward, Mitchell’s Block, James’s ditto,
Gazette Building, Lynes’s and Isaac's Blocks,
Daubury Depot. Bank of Norwalk, and
more recently our west wing, Weed’s new
store, the block just purchased by Mr. Corn-
wall, with the new Bank structure now in
the course of. completion, have almost to-
tally obliterated the ancient land-marks of
ancient Norwalk about the Bridge.
At South Norwalk the change is still more
marked and apparent. Solitude and “mag-
nifident distances" reigned supreme and un-
disturbed about the “Old Well" till the elec-
tric scream of the steam whistle startled the
locality into a new, a vigorous and abound-
ingly prosperous life. Such is Norwalk to-
day, with new buildings rushing up on all
sides of us, and yet with a rapidity unequal
.to the constantly increasing influx of popu-
lation.~ Great and rapid as have been our
, growth and prosperity, there are many
among us who will live to see Norwalk a
thriving, bustling city, compact and more
than quadruple its present area The “old
fogies” who now hoard their land with mi-
serly gripe, will then be dead, and the land-
ed domain now held to arrest at every point
the builder’s art, will be beautified and
adorned with anltng homes and palatial
residences. The surpassing beauty and at-
tractivncss of our local scenery, the rare fa-
cilities we present the artisan and manufac-
turers, the superb facilities for land and wa:
ter transportation render thus much a sure-
ty, But with all this appreciation of popu-
lation and prosperity, shall we also advance
proportionably in all that refines and enno-
bles a people or civilizes and refines a com-
munity ‘3 This is a question to be decided
byrthe citizens of the present generation. If
new roads, new bridges improvement of bar—
bpr~ and wharfs, introduction of Water,
street Walks, and Gas lights are denied, now,
the future will be cramped and dwarfed to
the full extent of our present want of fore-
sigh'and liberality. If to grab and hoard

The Elections.
The New York and other elections seem
to have given the rampant democracy about
as lively turn, as an over dose of physio.
Thr y go capt ring about like youngcolts with
tails over their backs. Their delight is so
exquisite that it detracts even the ordinary
regret we shonld‘fcc lat the supincness of
our Republicaniricnds. But theirjoy is to
be ofshortduration. Soon the Presidential
contest will open and with Grant for our
standard bearer he will wipe out every ves-
tige of the disloya] democracy, as ea:ily as
he vanquished their great armed captain
Gen. Lee.

WOur worthy Road Superintendent has
at last come to the rescue of the long suffer-
ing public, as well as the vindication of his
own imperiled oflicial reputation. West Av-
enue is now receiving a venoeriug of most
excellent gravel, 'and if it could have been
spread three tnonths ago, much hard jolting,
and we fear, harder profanity, might have
been saved. No town stands more in its own
way of progress and prosperity than when it
tolerttes bad roads. The condition of the
highways in Norwalk, the past season have
with a few exceptions been a disgrace to the
town and to all in any way responsible for
their improvement. We trust, now that
winter is setting in, that a new order of
things is to be assured to us.

ering the unique and beautiful granite “cas-
tle” of chrand Lodrwood. His immense
granite wall, on his north line, when com-
pleted, will eclipse the old Baronial fortifica-
tions of the Rhine. We believe, however,
that it is not designed as a barrier to outside
armed t ssaults, but for the peaceful propoga-
tion of trailing plants.

HYMENIAL.—Thc Congregational Church
was crowded. on Wednesday evening last,
by people gathered to witness the marriage
of Mr. Albert Morehouse and Miss Ella Tier.
Previous to the ceremony the audience were
entertained with Organ music by Prof. Chas.
Smith, of Stamford. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Dr. Childs, pastor, assist-
ed by Rev. Mr. Breckenridge of the Metho-
dist Church. During the evening a large
party of friends gathered at the residence of
Wm. R. Nash, Esq., where a handsome en-
tertainment was prepared under the superin-
tendencc of D’Artois the popular caterer.
Everything passed off joyfully.

Muffin Game.
Never did the hero of Cervantes prepare-
himsclf fora chivalric charge upon the famed
Rosinantc, with more eager sincerity than
did the below Muffiin club engage in the
fierce encounter for the mastery on Friday
last. The day was peculiarly auspicious.
The sun shone out bright, warm and daz-
zling, as if in approbation of the contest es-
sayed by ye fierce athletes. The daughters
were [air and many, as if to cheer on the con-
testants to utter exhaustion. Most of the
gamcsters approached the contest with clean
hands, (a majority with clean faces) but one.
distinguished manufacturer, in a moment of
forgetfulness, attempted previous preparation
but as the first knock of the ball smashed out
two expensive store windows, he was let
ofi from the heavy fine which otherwise
would have been visited upon his transacti-
sion.
We have but one serious casuality to re-
cord, which is more favorable than could
have been expected, when the earnest nature
of the struggle is considered.
Counsellor, who in private lifchdministers
full half of the justice done in our local
courts, was permanently disabled from the
first jump, and was borne from the field in a
grocer’s ambulance. As his pallid form lay
prone upon the earth, it was enough to wring
are from “eyes unused to weep." He will
recover.
The contest raged with unabated fury till
near sunset, when if the game was not well
played out,the gamesters were. Cheers were
essayed,but so exhausted were the shouters in
their stock of wind, that the wclkin was but
little disturbed by the effort. As will be seen
by the recordghc side of which we had the un-
speakable honor of being a member succeed-
ed in playing the poorest game, and conse-
iobese collector, should have beaten us even
one in the number of “cuts.”

Q It seems that there is a good pros-
pect of having a clock in the néw depot at
South Norwalk, after all. The Bridgeport
Standard says that Messrs. Lambert & Bun-
nell, architects of that city, have just comple-
ted a design for the arrangement of a clock
in the depot tower. The clock is to hose 4
faces, one each side of the tower, and: will be
a great convenience to the community gen-
erally, if kept in good time, and a crowning
ornament to the handsome-and creditable de-
pot building.

W The Nicholson Pavement, which is
now being laid in Nassau street, N. Y., con-
sists of blocks of pine wood, a little larger
than ordinary bricks, dipped in hot tar, and
laid on a board frame work slightly elevated
in the cerfiar to allow water to run off into
the side gutters, and then covered with far
and gravel , forming an excellent road-bed,
looking for all the world like the gravel roof-
ing so common in this vicinity. It is attract-
ing much attention in the city. It seems to
us that this is just the kind of pavement
needed in our Main Street. We should judge
that it is not very expensive, is easily con—
structed, durable, and can be kept clean and
free from mud and filth. Our citizens visit-
ing New York will do well to examine the
portion already laid down, and the process of
construction.

Miss Anna E, Dickinson.
"MR. Ellison—In common with most of
your readers, I was greatly surprised in the
perusal of the criticism of your correspond-
‘bnt B. F. U. in yonrlast issue. I had sup~ _.
[posed that, in running the gauntlet ofall
sorts of people, and for so long a time, that
the question of her ability as a public speak-
er, was pretty well settled, and very gener-
ally conccdcd. But it appears that there is
at least one in Nora :tlk to challenge hcr
merits in this respect. Innumcrable crowds
in this country have hung with delight upon
her lips, entranced with her rare eloquence,
and rnarvclom magnetic power. Prcsrdent
Lincoln, officers of State, members of Con-
gress, journalists, clergymen, of all denomi-
nations, and distinguished civilians of all
classes, have been among her most delight-
ed auditors, and even the “common people
heard her gladly." And yet your correspond-
ent B. F. U. raises the question (and decides
it too) whether she is. r lly a meritorious
speaker. He is most so: disappointed and
his “disappointment was only equalled by
his wonder that this young lady should hold
the high rank accorded her in this country,
as a public speaker.” And then follows
what seems to me to be a captions and one-
sided analysis of her elements as an elocu-
tionist, and the conclusron is reached that
‘sbe is no exception to the rule, that woman
is incapable of sound reasoning." MOdcsty,
at least, would demand that the writer
should prepare his readers for such a sweep-
ing conclusion by the most unanswcrable
logic, that he at least should show Ins own
ability to reason soundly. Said a spirited
young lady, standing by my side, as this last
sentence was read, “ I wonder who his
mother was, I should liked to have known
her."
Can woman reason soundly ? What does
the writcrmean? Can she project her pre-
mises and draw her conclusions from them
according to the formula of the schools ? Is
she capable of ratiocination ? Those whose
pleasure it has been to listen to Miss Dickin-
son, will scarcely hesitate to answer. But
what a compliment to the sex i I know not
which to admire most, the audacity or the
cgotism here exhibited.
But is Miss Dickinson an eloquent speaker ?
According to Webster eloquence is, fat, “the
expression of strong emotion, in a manner
adapted to excite corresponding emotions
in others.” Can Miss Dickinson do this?
witness her soul-stirring, patriotic speeches
during the war, when more than one writer
remarked, that like results, from public
speaking, had scarcely before been witness-
ed siuee the days when the “ Maid of Or-
leans," aroused a nation and astonished the
world. It really seemed as it Joan of Arc
had appeard once more.
Again, Webster says “Eloquence therefore
requires in its most perfect form a vigorous
understanding, a glowing imagination, ap—
propriate and rich language, with fluency,
animation and suitable action.” Now, if
such be the criteria, we do not hesitate to
pronounce Miss Dickinson an eloquent
speaker. For she unquestionably possesses
these elements it. a remarkable degree. No,
says B. F. U. “she gives evidence of very lit‘
tle imagination or identity.” Allow me to,
‘ask, did not the writer see before him on the
stage a large group of lame and halting hu-I
manity, that she simply evoked by the play
of her imagination? So vivid indeed was
the picture, that. I'wiil venture it was seen
by the entire audience beside. If the writer,
saw it he had the evidence of that wicrd
power; if he did not see it, it argues a want
of appreciation in himself. Perhaps this is
what he means when he says, “she likes to
set up straw men of size and shape con-
venient to be knocked down, and then to
pitch into them with all her might."
But hear him again, when with rare cone
sistency he says, “she is too poetical,” indeed!
and no imagination. “Too poetical and too
definite," what does the writer mean ‘2 “She
never ventures into the realms of fancy,” and
sonal debt 0f gunman m 'h ,mvf'or the puh- game was cxhilcratiug, the Return will be yet “she is too poetical." “ She gives’fievi;

statements surprise me after hearing this re-
markable lady some four or five times.
Twice I heard her in the Cooper Institute
in N. Y., crowded almost to suffocation by
the enthusiastic masses who thronged the
place, and where such men as Henry Ward
Beecher, Theodore Tilton, W. 0. Bryant
Goldwin Smith and others of like calibre,
were among her most admiring auditors;
and where the vast crowd swayed to and
fro as she waved over them the magic wand
of her queenly enchautment. But then “she
scolds like an Xanti‘ppe." This rings cop-
pery." But ”she is not without egotism,
vanity, and a large bump of self-esteem.”
Hear what Burns says :—
“ 0 wad some power the giftie gie us
To see ourselves as others see us,
It wad frae monic a blunder frac us
And foolish notion."
But again our critic says, “she evinces very.
little depth or amplitude of thought. She
is not original either in what she says or in
her manner of presenting her views." In-
deed l who then does she imitate ? Where
is the original ? Does he mean that she pre-
sents no new ideas? This may he so, for
when we talk of origmalideas I fancy we
are using terms somewhat loosely. But
then does she not impress her own individu-
ality upon them in her mode of presenting
them? If she simply copies another, who
is that other? “Her enunciation is faulty,"-
to my mind this point is well taken ; there
is a certain inflection which she gives to her
sentences which mars the beauty of her elo-
cution. But how few are faultless. It is
said that a fly will pass over the whole body
to light upon a sore.
“She has large, expressive eyes, and a
face beaming with intelligence and earnest-
ness. Intelligence, and yet she “cannot rca-I
son soundly." “ Site speaks her piece well,"
and yet she does not sustain her reputation
as a public speaker. She held her audience
spell boundfor an hour and mice-quarters,"
and yet she is so tame, so common-place, _
and so deficient in all the elements of electr-
tion 1 Alas l alas if I should say that B.
F. U. was a little hypocritical. But “let no,
one fancy that I am prejudiced against Miss
Dickinson." By nomeans, how could you
be, she is so “prepossessing in her appear-;
ance,” of such “remerkable symetry of form”
and with such a “well poised head," and
such “beaming eyes” and “she makes such a
fine figure on the platform." “ She has de-
cision, firmness and plenty of will-power!i

Reunion of the 17th cht C. V,
At the request of all the officers and men
of my late command whom I have met, and
in accordance with my own wishes, I cor-

of the 17th Regiment C. V., to rtunitc at
Bridgeport, in§Washington Hall, on the 215i

revive the memories and brotherhood of

that the American display of the celestial

the European. the American in 1799, 1833,
and 1867; the European in 1798, 1832, and
1866. We shall have, however, Sir John
Herschel thinks, the edge of the show. of
which we had the full enjoyment last year.'
For us, the meteoric shower would be the
most brilliant just before sunrise at 7:30 a. m.,
on the morning of the 14th, when it willbe
too light to see falling stars well. In Amer-
ica, however, it will be many hours before
dawn when the earth is at the middle of the

that there should be a repetition of the splen-
did sight secn by Humboldt in Mexico in

SCHENCK’S MANDRAKE PILLS
A Certain Cure for Diseased Liver and the
many Dangerous Maladies winch are caused
by a. morbid condition of that organ.
To give the public a clear understanding of the
mode in which SCHENCK’S Mandrake Pills
produce those wonderful efi‘ccts which are attestcd by
thousands of reliable witnesses, we present a brief
DESCRIPTION OF THE HUMAN LIVER
and its functions. which will make the operation of
this popular medicine perceptible to every man’s un-
dcrslarrding.
The liver is supplied with blood vessels, nerves
and absorbants. Onc ofits obvious uses is to se-
crete and prepare the bile. It likewrsc filters. the
blood and separates that fluid from a]! impurities.
How indispensabl necessary to health rs the proper
performance of this function i If th war is .drseas-
ed, it cannot purify the blood, an if that as sent
back through the lungs, brain and 9ther parts. 1n a
morbid condition, it must cause Jaundicc, brlrous-
ness, obstruction of' the kidneys, rave], and many
other complaints more or less pain it] and dangerous
but the least of them quite cnourr l to make a man
sick and uncomfortable, and on t for the perform-
ance of any of the duties of life. Thisunhcalthy state
of the system very often ends in pulmonary con-
snmption. _ . .
The circulation of the blood is conducted in thrs
manner — Thchcart sends the vital current down
through the arteries ; it passes through thc flesh ta-
king np all impurities in its progress; then the
stream of' blood flows backward throuo'h the veins,
and passes to the liver to be purified. It is im ossi-
blcto cure consumption, scrofula, or scare yany
other kind of ulceration while that important organ,
the liver, is diseased. It is for that reason that "reg-
ular physicians" rarely cure consumption. They
usually begin their treatment wrtlr the use of some
cough medicine, the basis of which rs morphia .or
opium in some shape, which locks up the liver in-
stead of relaxing the secretions, giving a tone to the
stomach, and producing a healthy flow of bile. Dr.
Schenck‘s
Pulmom'c Syrup, Seduced Zomc, and Man-
drake Pills
will strengthen the system purify the blood, and ri-
pen and heal ulcers on the ungs. -

Wisfar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry
Coughs, Colds. Bronchitis. Asthma, Group,

Experience proves that this exists in Wislar’s Bal-
