Despite the world-wide stagnation in busl- mass and the hitherto unknown numbers of 1' employment, everywhere, we seen to believe that during the we shall have huge ork enough for all. \ Litchfield. persons out 0 have good re your just entered upon, in Norwalk bread and w It is undoubtedly true that unskilled labor- cr‘s will have to accept a somewhat lower rate of wages than they rgceived last year, to ensure themselves steady employment, but our meChanics and artisans have already an encouraging prospect before them. Es- pecially isthis true of our Builders. So far as we have been able to learn (and we have made diligent inquiry), there will beeven more building the present year in, Norwalk than there was last. All our leading master- Builders have either contracts for or the prospect of a full season’semploymeni. In fine, no previous year wrll exceed In the matter of erection of buildings the results of the present‘ycar. This is attrlbutable' to many causes, but primarily 'to the wlde- awake spirit of enterprise which. stimulates to action so many of our best citizens. The proximitv of Norwalk to New York, by rat and by water communication, with 113 pro- vetbial healthfulness and unrivalled beaches of local scenery and surroundings, potently influence rapid accessions to our wealth and We know Of but two thlngsyn which we are deficient.

Very well, so be It. If a ma- jority prefer that a private company should own and run it, so be it, for its assured enor- mous dividends will cause no difilculty on that score. But a City Charter is indispen- sable for its proper introduction and govern,- mcni. For the crossing of streets and grounds with its pipes and for the necessary sewerage for carrying of its surplus. We Illttke no mention of its inealculable value as a motive power for the thousand and one productive industries and minor manufacturics which would swarm hither like bees in a flower garden as soon as It is known that an adequate supply of water may be had for lathes, drills, mills, sewrng machines and the thousand and one opera- tions where steam is now so expensrvely numbers. used. There is another view of the water ques- tion to which we have not hitherto alluded, and made especially applicable by the lack of employment now existing among the great mass of our honest, industrrous‘cnd toiling day-laborers. During no previous year, within our recollection, would the ex. penditure of a hundred thousand dollars among this class of our citizens have proved a greater blessing than during the coming season. > Not to these alone and their worthy families, but to the shopkeepers, the butch- ers, the grocers, dry goods men and general dealers would this distribution of capital prove a blessing. Like mercy and charity it would bless all our people of whatever sta— tion or relation in life. Cynics may sneer and those jealous of our growth may carp, but Norwalk will grow and prosper, and nothing but the most obdurate stupidity of our own people can avert its certain destiny of becoming one of the largest and most thrifty communities in the State. Let it not be said that we have wantonly omitted any opportunity to consummate all its possibili- lies. _...———oc<.>e _ Y. M. 0. A. A Grand Concert will be given under the auspices of the Y. M. C.

A very fine company of ladies and gentle- men crolcded Lockwood’s Hall, Friday even- ing, in response to invitations item the ofli- Cers and members of Pioneer Hook and Ladder Co. The occasion was the celebra- tion of the seventh anniversary of the com- pany. The Norwalk Band furnished music, and Douglass Jr Mead refreshments. The floor Was crowded with dancers who seemed thorougly to enjoy themselves throughout the entire programme. The committee did everything in their power to enhance the pleasure of their guests, and the affair was a very pleasing success. The Alert Base Ball Club—Champions of Fairfield County—gave two entertainments at Ely's Hall, South Norwalk, Friday and Saturday evenings last. The people of South Norwalk evinced their interest in their pet club by attending in large numbers, and the result was a very gratifying pecuniary suc— cess. The material aid received will place the club in excellent condition for the next campaign, and give them a decided advant- age over all rival organizltionr. On Friday evening next, the Liberty Base Ball Club of this village, composed" of some of our best young men, give an entertain- ‘ment at Lockwood’s Hall, and hope to re- ceive the patronage of their friends and the public generally. They desire to clear some mouey,—to put them in good condition for next summer’s sport,-—but will give a first- class entertainment if tney do not make a cent. Mr. A. H. Camp will have charge of the floor, with competent assistants; Geo. Allen of N.

Convention, says: - , Mr. Jewell has all the elements of a popu- lar candidate and an able chief ma istrate. He has not been engaged in politics affairs, save incidentally,and as every good citizen ought to be, but he brings to any and all work such a hearty, strong, generous, practi- cal nature, such energy, activity and cheer- iulness, that his coming into a campaign is a heavy reinforcement. His labors last year were invaluable. ’ He was the soul of the work in Hartford county, and the vote he received as a candidate for the Senator-shlp in the First district testified in some measure to the esteem in which he is held by his neighbors. There is nobody in Hartford that does not like Marshall Jewell. The Hartford Republicans only wait for the word to give their best efforts for the ticket, who- ever may be put up, for this Convention will will do its work well,but if Mr. Jewell should be nominated, there will be as lively a con- test in this neighborhood as we have seen since the old Fremont and Wide Awake aye. ~<Q>s an is said that the new English coaches being built for the New York and New Ha- ven Railroad Company, will be put on the day express trains, to and from New York, sometime next week. 0‘.-.

We regret that we are unable, at the present time, to give a detailed description of the works for the ben- efit of our distant readers. Our local readers interested in machinery will find much to repay them for a visit to this model entail:- lishment. During our visit we witnessed the casting of a monster 60 inch cylinder for a blast engine whidr is being constructed at these Works for Messrs. Jas. Ward do Sou, Niles, Ohio. ' This casting weighs about three tons, and the‘ whole machine, when complete, will weigh about ten tons, with a 24inch Steam Cylinder, five feet length of stroke. The casting was done under the supervision of Mr. W. H. Jones, foreman of the Foundry, a gentleman who has had large experience in this‘business, and has made many very heavy castings, including some of the heaviest on the famous “Duudcrberg” ram. We presume ,now that these Works are in active operation these large castings will soon cease to be a novelty in Norwalk. _.—..——o<<0>o 03‘ One week from today, Whitney &.

Resolved, That our grand dependence for the future promotion and the final success of the temperance causeis upon the truth spo- ken in love and‘faithfuluess, and that we therefore beseech the co-operation of all good men, and especially of those who give char- acter and direction to the public sentiment, and words and laws in re—aflirming and en- forcing the truth, and in-inspiring and unit- ing afresh labors of love to enlighten the ignorant, strengthen the good,and reclaim the erring. ’ Resale-ed, That in regard “totelupcrauce legislation at the present. time, it is the duty of the friends of temperance to maintain the present law in its essential features.

EXTRAORDINATY InvE ION—Admiral Farragut makes an official report concern- ing the wonderful performances of H. B. M. iron-clad Water Witch, 700 tons burden, 160 horse power, which is propelled and aided without paddles, screw, or rudder ! It is driven by what is called the Ruthven hydraulic propeller. It is claimed to be su- porior to anything ofthe kind hitherto used, and a company has been future in New York to bring it out. The Adm I, under date. of October 31, 1867, thus describes the apparatus z—Thc water rises from below in- to the box, whence the rotatory pump, work- ed by steam, throws it with great violence into two square boxes placed on the outside of the vessel, one in each side I early amid- ships, and about the water line. These box- es arc square tubes, ttn or twelve feet long, and twelve inches in diameter, open at both ends. Near the center is a valve, under the control of the officer on deck, and as he turns it, the water is thrown With great force, eith- er forward or af't,thus propelling the vessel ahead or astern at his will. As soon as we got on aboard, we proceeded out of the bar- bor, and, to my amazement, she went ahead at a speed of seven or eight miles per hour, against afresh breeze and quite a sea. The machinery when once put in motion. had no interruption until we were alongside the wharf again. The movements of the vessel are entirely controlled by the officer of deck, who, by manmuvering the valves above spo- ken of, can go ahead, back astern, or turn the vessel upon her center, all of which was done with great ease, and whilst I was on board. On her return from Spilhead to tile Wharf, she made quite as much as mnc knots per hour up to within fifty or sixty yards of the wharf, when she was suddenly cheeke-l and brought to the wharf with infinitely , more case than ally s'ennrcl' I ever saw, not- withstanding she is it heavy vessel, plated with four .sud a half metres of iron. = m.,,“ .. m-, W, m., _ I.” “W’s J; ...$..-.‘ L!.TTVMWWQ£L:;_ _:r I very valuable pictures too numerous to men-I ' '80th Nos-walk Y.

WThe decision of the Committee of Ways and Means to so amend the revenue laws as to leave the lowest possible sum to be col- lected from the industrial interests of the country, Will be hailed with general satisfac- tion. Our present system is too complex, and the cost involved ill the collection of the revenue too great. It drains the body po~ lice at every pore, and the supply flowing through such minute channels is largely ab- sorbed and wasted by the way, befrirc it sarches the cofl'crs of the Government. Ex- perience demonstrates that the luxuries of life should bear the burden of taxation, leaving the absolute necessaries as free and ulltrammelled as possible; whereas our law imposes a specific percentage on almost ev- ery item of domestic manufacture and gen- eral utility, from advertisements, all the way through the twenty-four letters of the alpha- bet, to zinc nails. 50 complex a system costsin many cases more than the product comes to. It is as though a swarm of swamp mosquitoes were set to phlebotmizc a plethoric patient. The depletion may be thorough and general, but the remedy is worse thanthe disease; for the irritation and inflammation following the process lead to suck a general derangement that theunfor- unate subject is liableto succumb under the infliction. .__-.._.,., .40» . ._-.._.__ TnE MYSTERY SATISFAC'I‘OJIIALY Ex- PLAINED.—A correspondent of the Spring- field Republz'can writes as, follows respecting one of' the latest sensational mysteries : “In your paper on Monday I ob‘crved an article headed ‘A Woman becomes a Man,’ and credited to ‘Brick’ Pomery of the La Crosse (Wis) Democrat. The article} is true, with one important qualification, r. e., she or he had no child by Mr. Powell, and they separa- ted by rnntual consent. Aftertvardstan op- eration was performed by a physielan for malformation, and he became perfectly devel- oped—the supposed woman became a man. My employer has been well acquainted with the parties for the last twelve years, as he resided in their neighborhood previous to coming East two years. The little addition of the child by the first marriage made the story incredible; but aside from that it is strictly true, and entitled to belief. . __..- ._....<.>. Q” It is Well known that when John Ja- cob Astor, the richest man in New York, died,lre bequeathed in his will to Fitz Greene Halleck, the poet, who for a great many years had been his intimate associate, friend, and confidential clerk, only the pitiful sum of $200 a year. This has often been remark- ed upon as an act of great meanness, on the part of Mr. Astor; but we now have an ex— planation of it by the popular author, Mr. Fred. S. Cozzcns, who says: “I asked Mr. Embury, one day, Why it was that John Ja- cob Aslor had left Hallcck, his faithful clerk, only the trifling sum of two hundred dollars a year. ‘I think I can explain that,’ he said. ‘Halleck used to joke Mr. Astor abouthls ac- cumulating income, and perhaps rather rash- ly said, “Mr. Astor, of what use is all this money to you i, I would be content to line on a couple of hundreds a year for the rest of my life. if I was only sure Of it." The old man remembered that.’ said Mr. Embury, ‘aud, with hitter satire, reminded Halleck of it in his will.‘ " .. 1r; P;:..';‘.';.‘.’."..5.“."'J" ' It will be seen ' The February Magazines; ‘ .In the ATLANTIC James Parton discusses the ques’- tion “Does it pay to Smoke ‘3” and concludes that It- does not.

Obituary-uh B. Trowbridge. On Monday of the 10th inst. our Brother, A. B. Trowiridgc, left his home in full health and in fine spirits, to join his wrfc at Bridgeport, on her return home from a visit to her friends ; but before noon the tele- graph brought the painful news that be had been serlousiy Injured by the cars at Bridre- port. Anxiously and hopefully, yet fear- fully, did we wait to learn more fully the re- sult of the accident, but ere the sun had set the messenger arrived with the startling and sad news that our Brother was dead, The sadness with which this news was received is not easily described. Mr. Trowbridge was born and reared' among us; was young, healthy, and highly respected, and we think we can truthfully say no death has occurred in our midst more startling, and which cast a deeper gloom over the community than this. ‘ ‘ Cadets of Temperance, in this place, and al- though the Section went down, he remained true and faithful to the principles there in- culcated and has been an earnest and ar- dent foc against lire use of tobacco or intoxi- cating drinks, which is so fast undermining the social and moral principles of‘ society and bringing so many to an untimely grave. At the age of 18 Ire connected himself with the order of Sons of Temperance, where he remained until death, a much respected and beloved member. We had hoped ire might long bcspared to meet with us and work for those principles which ire so much loved, but God in'his providence has seen fit to or- def it otherwise. At the last meeting of Friendship Divis- ion, No. 10, of Sons of Temperance, the fol- lowing resolutions were unanimously adopt- ed :— WHEREAS, In [the dispensation of Divine Providence, our esteemed and. beloved Brother, A. B. TTOWBRIDGE, has been re- nroved from our circle by accidentaldeatlr, Therefore Resolved, That we deeply feel our bereave- ment, and while we bow beneath the chast- ening rod, may we trustingly confide in Him who knoweth and doeth all things well. Resolved, That in the death of the Brother our circle has been irreparably broken and our cause has not only lost a true and faith- ful friend, but an earnest ard ardent advo- cate. Resolved, .That we hereby extend to the family and friends of the deceased our deep sympathy, and assure them that we consid- ered him in every respect worthy of our es- teem sud love. , . Resolved, Thdl the charter of the Division be draped in mourning for the remainder of the quarter, and that a copy of the above resolutions be sent to the family of our dc- ceased Brother, also to the Norwalk Gazette and the State Temperance Journal for pub- lication.

WWO have before called the attention of our readers to the AMERICAN ORGAN, manu- factured by S. D. (0 H. W. Smith Boston Mass. We feel at perfect liberty to do so, because we have used them practically and believe most. confidently that they possess every excellence to be desired. To the lover ofmtlsic, such an instrument in the house- hold is a constant delight. 'Fol' the Sunday School and the Chapel, it is a most admira- ble substitute for the pipe Organ. There is a wonderful quantity of music ill one of these beautiful instruments, and we are glad to learn that they are being appreciated by the public.

Dr. Rowe, of 27 East 20th Street, N. Y., in a newly published Treatise in Catarrh,shows the causes of this disease, as well as its cf- fecrs on the health, lungs, throat, memory, head, breath, senses of' smell, taste, hearing and sight. Any one enclosing him 10 cents will receivcthc Treatise free of post- age. The following discriptiou of the symp- toms of Citiili‘l‘ll we extract front it : “Cuiarr-h produces a feeling of uneasiness, heal and stiffness of the nbstrils, which are often closed on one or both sides, caused by the membrane llrlckeuing from inflammation; often a lhill watery discharge commences, ex- coriating that part of the skin with which it comes in contact. If ille disease is not checked then, the discharge soon becomes thick and purulent, of a greenish color,mz:rc or less disagreeable, and at times very offen- sive. The breath of the patient very often becomes so rcvoltingiy offensive as to isolate him from society, and to render him an Ob- ject of disgust to himself. The discharge frequently drops down the throat and has to be halved up ill order to obtain relief—the sense of smell and taste beconrcs greatly inr- paircd, and sometimes entirely lost—tr dz.- tressing headache makes its appearance as the fouial sinuses becomes involved, and neural- gic pain in the face and head, as soon as the other sinuses become affected. At nigirt sleep is often interrupted, a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat, thirst and feverish- ness generally being produced. In the morn- ing a coated tongue and a disagreeable taste in the mouth are frequent, as also dizziness. Some persons become very drowsy, more es- pecially during the day, after eating. After a time the memory is impaired, a restless, nervous feel It; accompanying it—serlously afi’ecting close application to study; in short. a general restlessness of the m‘ml. Many are disposed to be costivc. If the inflamma- tion extends through the tear passage of the eye, and infl lines that organ, it causes the tears to overflow upon til ‘: slightest irritation ‘or exposure, producing what is generally call- ed “Weeping Eyes." If it extends through the etlstacirian tubes to the middle ear, the hearing becomes more or less impaired, if it extends down the throat, it gives rise to dys— pepsia. bronchitis, and to consumption. The experience and investigations of the greatest savalls in medical science haVC established the fact that in fully tryodhirds of the cases of consulllpliou, it commenced by inflrlnma- tion and ulceration of the air pasragesmhich is catarrh. Thelc are but the three stages of consump- tion: Ctltarrh, the incipient or first stage; Bronchitis, the second; and Pllthisis Pulmo- rialis, or ulceration of the lungs, the third and last stage. . Procrastinatou is in this, as in other cases, dangerous. Many a disease becomes incura- ble from having been neglected too long.— Ilumanly speaking, many that have died of consumption that commenced as catarrb, might now be living had their cases had proper attention at the commencement or before it had gone too far." .<e>..— PATENTs.-—Under date of Jan. 215i, pat- ents have been issued to persons in this County, as follows,:—_Willism H.
