A New Nor-walk Enterprise.
We rejoice to learn that there is a prospect
of organizing another joint stock company
for the. manufacture of a new patent Monkey
Wrench, of acknowledged merit, and for
which there is a great demand. Combin-
ing this with several other local patents a
substantial and profitable interest might be
erected here which would prove another
means of our greater growth and prosperity.
It is of the very first consequence that we
foster and encourage every possii le develop-
ment-of human skill, and we hope this pro-
posed company may be immediately organ-
ized and set to running. ’
The owners of the patent, we understand,
wishing to increase their facilities for manu-
facturing, are willing to locate in Norwalk if
sufiicierit inducements are offered by our cit-
izens in the formation of -a joint-stock com
parry, &c. We are assured by a mechanic,
in whose judgment we place great confi-
dence, that a company would be sure to pay
well, and the business would be large and
everyway desirable to secure for this place.
Other towns are bidding for it; so whatever
is done must be done immediately.

without feelings of admiration and even
personal gratitude. Starting without means
and even in the face of organized opposi—

and attractive church edifice to adorn our
village and now have an equally tasteful
Parsonage in process of completion. All
honor and praise to these Methodist sisters.

ry it would be to Norwalk to have this im-

sion, as we would faili believe, stimulated by
something rather more exhiliarnting, a party
look upon themselves to bury our horse car
rails deep under the snow which the compa-
ny had previously banked on either side.
The provocation and excuse for the act was
the aforesaid banking. While we fully
commend a jealous watclifulncss over all
corporations enjoying special privileges from
the public, this act, like most Of its sort,
proved a benefit to the company it sought to
injure and only a damage to the innocent,

tire line was in fronlof the Gazette Building.

injuring Mrs. Nash, and throwing two other

somewhat injured. Mr. J. G. Charlton’s

main conclusion was that. woman’s highest
earthly right was the right to be married

The'nctv journalistic enterprise which was
formed last. summer, and whereof Hon..
Charles A. Dana is President, and which
purchased the old Tammany Hall Building,
corner of Nassau and Frankfort 81s., oppo-
site the City I-Iall Park, made a purchase of
the old New York Sun last week, and will
remove that establishment from its present
quarters in Fulton street to their new and
imposing establishment located as above.
The name of the paper will be retained, but
otherwise it will be enlarged and improved
and made in all respects a live and enterpri-
sing news paper; It will be a daily morning
issue, mailed at $6 per year and sold at two
cents per single copy. Its improved form
will be of the size of the-single folio of the
Times, quite large enough to condense all
the news, and sold cheap with aview Of
reaching a large circulation. So many erro-
neous statements having gained circulation,
we deem so much “reliable information”
worthy of publication. The new proprie-
tors assume control of the Sun Jan. lat,
though the removal may not take place till
some days later.

Godey for 1808.
It is new full a quarter of a century since
we have welcomed the monthly advent of this
incomparable Ladies Book to the Editorial
table of the GAZETTE! Dnringall that long pe-
riod, “from jocund youth to hoary hairs," we
do not recall a single instance where a num-
ber has failed to reach us and the scores up-
on scores of subscribers ordered through us,
we never heard the first lisp of disappoint-
ment or dissatisfaction. And how could
there be, When- every succeeding number is
an improvement upon its predecessor, until
the new number for January '08, now before
us, is a very gem of artistic and literary ex-
cellence. What. better or more acceptable
gilt could possibly be devised for a lady, than
a years subscriptidn for Godey.
