_ City Charter.
Our city charter matter comes up before
the Committee of the Legislature the pres-
ent week. We hope in the interest of the
friends of good government, order and secu-
rity to health and property that it may pass
without opposition. But the millennial pe-
riod is not yet attained and who ever knew
of anything good or that was to benefit all
classes, that was not Opposed ip Norwalk.

‘ suitable stone or monument to perpetuate

WThere is a bill before the Legislature,
‘ ‘li'oduced by Mr. Glover of Fairficld, com—
pelling the New York St New Haven Rail-
road to reduce its fares between local statIons
in Conn., to the same rates as are charged be-
tween stations in the State Of New York.
That such a liuv ought to pass is self-evident,
but when the officers of this road boast that
they can carry any Connecticut Legislature
in their breeches pocket, we do not see what
hope there is for our people. If carried, the
company will only put up the fares below
Greenwich instead of reducing them above,
just as it defied the last law respecting in-
crease of commutation fares. They simply
put up all others.

WThe public are so delighted with Mr.
Legrand Lockwood's renovation of that por-
tion of West Avenue in front of his palatial
residence, that we feel half inclined to invite
him to extend the manipulation over the en-

would add ten years to the life Of our dis-

It is amusing to observe the tlounderings
0f the democratic politicians in search Of a
presidential candidate. The Wandering Jew,

the vexatious tribulations of the poverty
stricken democracy. Mr. Chase, with his
“negro equality,” would be gladly swallowed
by the “unterrified” if they felt assured that.

WDr. Childsrmade a very forcible ap-
peal Sabbath, m’Orning for the erection of a.
new” Stillbirth School and Lecture Room in
connection with the First Congregational
Church. The project was fully discussed
last year and plans procured for such a struc-
ture, which it was proposed to attach to the
west end Of their present edifice. It would
constitute quite an architectural alteration Of
the present edifice, and add from a quarter
to a third more to the present dimensions of
the church. Its a pity the entire edifice
could not be disposed of and one built bet-
ter adapted to the requirements Of the con
gregation and the improved taste of .the

WA very pleasant episode occurred at
the Baptist Sunday School Concert Sabbath
evening last. After the regular exercises Of
the Concert were over, and as the last hymn
was being given out, Chas. S. Prowitt walk-
ed deliberately up the aisle, and in aneat lit
tle speech presented to the Superintendent
J. L. Ambler, in behalf ofthe school a very
large and beautiful bound “Comprehensive
Bible.” After the recipient had recovered
somewhat from his surprise and had regain-
ed the control of his feelings, he responded
in a few words expressinghis thanks ibr the
beautiful gift, and his satisfaction in know-
ing that the school appreciated his services.

We are glad to observe that the travelling
public begin to. Show someadequate appre—
ciation oi‘the efforts the owners of our swift
little steamer have made towards supplying
us with a speedy and reliable water transit
to and from New York. We rejoice at any
indications of a determination on the part of
the people to deprive a corrupt, zirrogant
and selfish corporation of their power to
override all barriers in their extortion. The
New Haven Railroad has done all in its pow-
er to injure N orwalk and other towns on its
local lines, by increasing fares and freights
up to the limits Of the peoples‘ endurance,
and affording no adequate accommodations
for the money extorted.
'fig‘Wc are glad to see that our worthy
Supt. Of Highways has adopted the new
policy of carting off the rich garden mould
frOm our public streets, and selling it for
manure, putting the avails thereof into' the
town treasury. That is right. Cart off all
that rich, black soil, and put on fresh gravel.

County, to fill the vacancy.
That our railroad commissioners should
be pl'Operpcrsons for the position is of vital
consequence to the thousands that are daily
passing over the railroads in this State, as
very much depends upon their judgement
and firmness, whether the roads are kept in
safe running order, and when we have
commissioners that will act with proper re-
gard for the traveling public, our trains will
be run in comparative safety. '
To those who are acquainted with Mr.
Ely it will be unnecessary to point out his
peculiar fitness for the position for which he
has been nominated,'b1ft we desire to say to
our friends in the legislature that no~morc
suitable person for the position can be found

swerve him from his sworn duty.

years this county is entitled to a commis-
sioner for the next three years, and we trust
nomination in the republican caucus.

As announced in .Our last, the Liberty
club went over to New Haven Wednesday
afternoon last, to play a game witht he “Uni—
versity Club” of Yale College—undoubtedly
the host club in the State this season. The ‘
first four innings were very close, closing
with only three runs for each club. The
fifth inning added a cypher for Liberty and
2 for Yale (‘2) In the sixth inning one of
those unaccountable “ breaks” occurred——
against Liberty—which always decides the
game ; Yale scored 10 and Liberty the cy-
pher without the prefix of 1. The next
three innings Yale made only 5 to Liberty.2,
the game closing in favord‘ Yalc.20 to 5.
that no opposition will be made to Mr. Ely’s .In the field Liberty made 15 fly catghcs to
Yale 10. The score shows that the game
must have been well played by both sides;
for leaving out the unfortunate sixth inning
the famous Yale club were unable to make
but 10 runs in 8 innings, showing conclusive-
ly that they had no third rate mufllns as op-
ponents.
Mr. Buttery, pitcher for the Liberty club,
acquitted himself with much credit, espec-
ially so,’ as we understand that this was ,his
first match game. Jake Gruman also play-
ed catcher for the first time, and he succeed-
ed in scoring as many runs as his Yale rival.
The Liberty club had no anticipations of
winning the game, knowing that their Oppo-
nents had every advantage of organization
and practice. We give the score below :

III regard‘to this game the Register face-

knowing they had a soft thing of it, and ra-
ting our boys as third-rate muffins, &c. The
score proves the Register’s remarks unjust
and untrue. We challenge the- Register to
prpduce any club in that city, composed of

pete with them.

WMessrs. Knapp 8r. Diekerman, at South
N orwalk, have made an improvement which
aside from any mere business considerations
entitles them to the gratitude of every enter-
prising citizen Of South Norwalk. Their
large double store is one that would be en-
tirely creditable to Broadway, N. Y., and is
certainly in advance of any similar institu-
tion, so far as we are aware, either in the
cities of N cw Haven or Bridgeport. On the
one side is a first-class Dry Goods Store, su-
perior in all its appointments and stocked
so as to successfully compete with metropoli-
tan rivals at the city, whither our good In-
dies would be sure to go could they do any
better in their trades. Then on the other
side and connected with the Dry Gopds De-
partment by a spacious archway, is one of
the completest Family Grocery and General
Supply Stores—Ive will not say in the town
—-but in Fairfield county. There is a metro-
politan air of neatness and completeness
about this department that gives it an unusu-
ally inviting appearance 'and we commend
the one point of cleanliness,‘here so success-
fully maintained, to our other grocers as
worthy Of imitation. The enterprising pro-
prietors of this monster establishment seem
to have acted upon the philosophy that

To command success,

W. A. Crofi'ut. from facts chiefly collected by
Chaplain John M. Morris, and while our

It comprises detailed accounts of the va-
rious Regiments and Batteries which left the
State, their organization and services during
the war, together with a record of the
patriotic action of the citizens at home,
and all matters pertaining to the war in
which Connecticut was interested. Its local

Thc approaching Fair to be held on the
3rd and 4th of July, ensuing, commends it-
self to the immediate attention and exertions
of all who feel interested in the deservedly
popular cause of “the poor orphan.”

.we understand, busily at work preparing for
it, (all are invited tO join), and we in Norwalk
will not be behind hand in our combined ef-
forts in' its behalf. ,
.New York artists are now at work hanging
the large and splendid collection Of oil paint-
ings, donated during the past year by benev-

will, we trust, much augment the sales of ar-

paintings. Amid these surroundings of art,
and the smiles and encouragement of fair
ladies, we argue for this Fair the success
which its worthy object so richly deserves.

Pacific Railroad is being

word is, “To Salt Lake by Christmas." Six
hundred and forty miles are now in running
order, and a hundred miles more are nearly
ready for the track. Brigham Young has
five thousand men at work in Utah,and says
he is not afraid of the Gentiles. It is proba-
ble that the locomotive will go through to
the Pacific in 1869 instead of 1870, and will
carry along with it an immense train of pas-
sengers and freight, now awaiting that hap-
py event. Contrary to the usual experience

the crop promises to be the largest ever
reaped in the state. More land has been
cultivated than in any previous year, and
the only fear expressed by the farmers is of
a scarcity of laborers. Last- season the
threshing machines in the Sacramento
valley were largely manned by Chinaman,
.and now apprehensions are felt that even
with all this help which can be obtained the
work of harvesting will be very severe.
Then,too,manufa‘ctures are springing up in
all parts of the state. Every woolen mill
has all the orders that it can fill. The one
at Marysville has had to enlarge its building.

EARLY CULTunn.‘——Mothers, take into your
own hands the early instruciton of your chili"
drcn. Commence with simple stories from
the Scriptures, from the varied annals 3
history, from your own observation of ma
kind. 'Lct each illustrate some moral or
religious truth, adapted to convey instruction
reproof, or encouragement, according to our
knowledge of the character and disposnion
of your beloved students, Care and study .
ma .be requisite to select, adapt, and sim-
plify. But can any do this so patiently as a
mother, who feels that her listening pupil is
a part of herself?
Cultivate in your children tenderness of
conscience, a. deep sense of accountability to
God, a conviction that their conduct must be
regulated by duty, and not by impulse. Read
to them books of instruction, selected with
discrimination, or make use of them as texts
for your own_comme'ntary.

our people there is a supply from wells, &c.,
yet the many tenements and tenents are at
times hard pushed for this important article,
and even at the present,watcr for sprinkling
the streets is becoming a necessity. The
money that will be required for this one pur-
pose, is made up mainly by a few. This
amount for the season would nearly or quite
sufiice to pay the interest on the amountnee-
essary tO furnish a good and abundant sup-
ply of pure water bOth for the use of fami-
lies and sprinkling streets. This supply may
be had from the hills on the castof our tobe
great city ; it is one complete water-shed of
perennial springs and well adapted to yield
an abundant supply of pure and wholesome
water, and this in a sanitary point has be-
come a necessity for our growing popula-
tion.

CALOIMINING AND WurTEWABnINO.—-Thc;e
are many recipes for whitewashing, but we
believe the following to be the best .that can
be used: White chalk is the best substitute
for lime asa wash. A very fine and bril-
liant whitwash preparation of chalk is called
“Paris White.” This we buy.at the paint
stores for three cents a ound, retail. For
each sixteen pounds of aris \Vhitc we pro-
cure half a pound of the white transparent
glue: costing twenty-five or fifty cents a
pound. The sixteen pounds of Paris White
is about as much as a person will use in a
day. Itis prepared as follows: The glue
is covered with cold water atnight, and in
the morning is carfully heated, without
scorching, until dissolved. The Paris white
is stirred in with hotwater enough to give
it the proper milky consistency for apply-
ing it to the walls, and the disolvcd glue is
then added and thoroughly mixed. It is
then applied with a brush like the common
lime whitewash. Except on very dark and
smokey walls and ceilings, a single coat is
sufficient. It is nearly equal in brilliancy to
“zinc white,“ afar more expensive article.
—G’ermantoma Telegraph.
We know the above-named whitewash to
be excellent, and it makes the walls beau-
tiully white, or, if you like, you may give
them any tint that suits you—blue, green,
lilac, half, or rose, by simply adding these
colors tO the wash, or “ calcimine," which is
the proper name for it. But for dining-room
kitchen and pantry, give us the old-fashioned
lime whitewash. It renovates ever Ithing,
and leaves such pure,- clean odors, . at we
really feel as- though we had been house
cleaning to some purpose- To prevent the
wash from rubbing oil', add to a pailful a pint ‘
ofmoderatelp thick, fiour paste.
