one well of winter. The ground is strewn
with rubbish, and has the appearance of
having been the site of a camp meeting or
circus. I ~
Here we met the train from the west, bear-
ing our Philadelphia and New Hampshire
friends, on their return. They had been to
the mountains, and had planted an American
flag with the names of Grant and Colfax in—‘
scribed thereon on the top of a rock at the
summit. the voyy high-st point on the whole
line of the Ruth—passed resolutions, made
speeches, &C. They had a narrow escape on
Sunday afternoon, going out. Some 'few
miles this side of Cheyenne, the locomotive
struck an iron- bar on the track and was
thrown down. an embankment ten feet high.
The; engineer and twomen were severely in-
jured, but fortunately. the passengers were
unhurt. They say if it had not. been for the
pluck and presence of mind shown by the
engineer the accident would have proved fa—
tal to many. '
Having heard reports by telegraph that
Lodge Pole the next station, had been at-
tached by Indians the night before, we got-
out on our arrival there to make inquiries 0f
the soldiers. They said that attabout ninc
o’clock, the night being dark and stormy, the.
sentinel discovered the presence of what be
supposed to be Indians, and gave the alarm.
The seven men stationed there at once went
out: and fired where they thonght'the Indians
were, driving them away. They came back
three times, and the last time only exchanged
shots. No one hurt so far as known. Next
morning the prints of their horses hbofs
were found on the plains, and the soldiers
estimated them at about forty. The men had
been stationed there a month, and this was
the firs they had seen or heard of Indians.
An admirable quakcr gun, mountcd'on
wheels, with a stuffed sentinel with his rifle
leaning overit, had been ingeniously con-
structed and were on duty near the depot.
At noon the train stopped at Sidney for
dinner. This is quite a little place, where
the company have a fine brick Round House,
and is the end of a Division of the road.
At Antelope, where the company are build-
ing a drop well, we heard of the, finding of
human and other bones sixty :bctIchlow the
surf cc. The Co. obtaintwattr‘for tbecngines
b y digging large wells at the side of the track,
pumping upthe waten by- mcans of wind-
mills. Theiwdodusedwu the line ism-ought
some 'tlisjance. .
Pine Blufi‘s, the next. station, takcsits name
fitom aIliigh blufi' of rocks surrounded by a
few pine trees. On the bluff a sentinel was
on guard. From here to Cheyenne there is
some exquisite scenery, the mack running
through hill and dale, .33.; sunset we had
our first view of Lang-Beak and the Rocky
Mountains, saidto’ be ~one hundred and fifty
miles. to the soutl’west. The atmosphere
was very clear, and we could see the many
peaks for along distance, and we watched
them with constantly increasing interest.
They formed the “Snowy REMQ,"‘0DG were
completely covered with snow‘ from top to
bottom, locking likeitmuensc snow banks or

reflected upon them .they were indeed a most
grimdaud beau sight to look upon.

City Charter.
The Legislative committee have agreed to
report in favor of the city charter of Nor-
Walk. The petitioners request thatits adop-
tion be left to a vote of our citizens. We
confidently hope it may be adopted, for it is
sad to reflect that there can be ignorance
and stupidity enough in our midst, to suc—
cessfully oppose so meritorious a. measure.
We confidently affirm the; there never was
a measure formed with more. unselfish and
scrupulous desire to benefit all, than this
bill fora city charter for Norwalk.

The Fnlr and Sunday School Festlvnl or
the First Congregational Church .
Was one of the pleasantest of the joyous
and salutary gatherings of the kind that- -
gladden this fair month. 0n.chhesday
afttarnoonthc Sunday'School marched from
the Lecture Room to Lockwood’s ,Hall,‘
which had been beautifully decorated by
fair bands, which also served the children.
after they had been’ seated in good order,
with great abundance and variety of choicest
cake and ice cream. They sang some of
their sweetest songs, and were addressed in
a very'intcresthig manner by the Rev. Ilen-
ry Clay Trumbull, Secretary of the Ameri-
can Suuday School Union for the New Eng-
land District. After this thc Superintend-
ant, E. C. Bisscll, Esq., distributed among a
large number of them rewards which he had.
promised for perfectly learning the Assem-
bly’s Shorter Catechism, and for punctuality
in attendance through the year.
' Then a splendid chromo of Thompson’s,
a beautiful picture, “ The Old Oaken Buck-
et,” set in a rich and tasteful frame, and
representing a country home and its
surroundings, in the foreground of which
was the Well with its oldsfashioned sweep
and curb and Oaken Bucket, from which
two children were drinking, was brought
upon the stage behind the Superintendent’s
back, when, very much to his evident sur-
prise, tlic Rev. Dr. Childs publicly addressed
him, and made the following presentation:
Mn. Breanne—Pleasant as the hour has been, to
most at us the pleasantest service now remains. On
behalf of the Sabbath School, I have been requested
to ask your acceptance of this memorial of the day’s
enjoyments. No more grateful service could be re-
quired of me. I accept it with all myheart.
First, and emphatically. ‘I beg you to believe that
this ls no formulity;itls no mere compliment; it. is
the spontaneous and hearty tribute of the whole
school. Nor will you foramoment think that It is
regarded, in any degree. as a recompensc._ Beautiful
as we Judge the gift to be, it. is a simple memento—
the heartfelt offering of those for whom your services
have been so long. so abundantly, and so generously
rendered. ' . ,
To speak of those services tit/length would be as
vain for me out would be painful to you. Through
summer’s heat and winter’s cold, you have never wea-
rlcd in this work. We are not. utterly unmindtul of
it; nor is He who never forgets the works offalth and
labors of love that are laid upon His altar, and whose
sweetest benediction is, “Inasmuch as ye have done
it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me.”
May He spare you long to us and to yourwork,
and crown that work at last with the rest of heavcn.
Allow me, fora moment, in leaving this gift with
you, to anticipate some of- the thoughts you 'vvlll have
in connection with it. '
First, it is the gift of childhood. What could be
more appropriate or more beautiful than such a rep-
resentation of childhood’s home ‘I It will surely of-
ten be a pleasure to you, as you look upon this pic-
ture, to think from how many such homes the dear
children have come, who for so many years have
been under your care. How many such homes have
been gladdened by your influence and instructions,
andby the sweet songs of praise the children have
caught from your lips; and from those homes how
many have carried that influence out: upon the world,
and beyond the grave 7
Then the central point ofthc picture as you see, is
the Well with its old Oaken Bucket, from which child-
hood ls quafilng its cool and delicious droughts. Bean-
ful, most beautiful symbol of your services in leading
these dear children to that Nvell of living waters of
which if a upm drink he shall live forever. How
sweetly too it recalls the score undo: the distant skit s-
of Palestine, when He whom you serve sat by the pa-
trarch’s well, and uttered these words which have
flowed like a crystal spring down through all the wea-
ry ages, refreshing the generations that have gone, as
they now refresh'and quicken us: “Whosoever drink-
cth of the water wlrehl shall give him shall never
thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in
himawcll of water springing up into everlasting
life."
Takc then, my dear brother, this gift, the glad of-
fering of all our hearts. May the sight of it some-
times chccr you in your-labors, with the strong as-
s'urance of the warm and constant sympathy and af-
fection of those for whom you labor, and who 10-day,
at the close of these delightful exercises, would leave
with you this simple token of their love.
The School hugely enjoyed the Superin-
tendent’s astonishment, and repeatedly testi-
fied their pleasure, and approbation of the
address, by rousing cheers. In a few unpre-
meditatcd but appropriate words the Super-
intendent expressed his thanks, and his love
for the School and his work; A portion of
the choir sang Woodworlh’s familiar song,
“ The Old Oaken Bucket.” Prayer was of-
fered by Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, and the delight-
ful scene was closed.
The fair was held in the evening, and con-
tinued through Thursday and Friday. The
supply of useful andornamental articles
seemed to bc unlimited, and they were sold
at satisfactory prices, we are glad to say,
without lotteries or mflz‘ng. Ice cream, soda
water fresh from the fountain, luscious
Strawberries, and beautiful flowers in profu-
sion, charmed the eye and refreshed the
soul. A most choice and generous supply
of grapes, peaches, and nectarines, from the
ever-open hand of Mrs. Legrand Lockwood,
was a pleasing feature. We have not heard
the results.
COMPLAINERS.
The world is full of complaiuers. Some
are always complaining of their neighbors;
They call them miserly, or stingy,or proud,
or obstinate, or deceitful, or hypocritical.
You never hear them speak well of them.
They look on them with a. jealous eye, hope-
ing that some calamity will befall them,and
ready when it does, to clasp their hands.
One would‘suppose that they thought them-
selves pcrfcct, but their fault-findings and
suspicions are but the out-croppings of their
own corruptions. They thank the Lord that
they are not as other men are, and they are
not. They are probably somewhat worse
\than those are of whom they complain.
They strain at gnats and swallow camels.
Another class complain of the world ingen-
_eral. It never was so bad as how. It is con-
stantly growing worse, and is going to rain
on a gallop. Intcmperance is increasing, and
every kind of immortality and crime. 0 the
degeneracy of the times! Like barn yard
fowls they are always scratching at. the dung.
heaps hoping to discover some proofs that
the world is going backward. Happy in
their view, are the men who lived athonsand
years ag,e and even in the days of the Caesars
and Pharaohs. ‘
Another class and the largest, are'a‘lways
complaining about the weather. “Did you
ever know such weather? Did you ever know
' the season so wet and cold and backward?
corn cannot grow, rye will not fill. What
a gloomy 'time"! God could not possibly
make any weather that would Suit such per-
cons. Should they reach the “better country”
(a thing hardly possible) the climate would
not suit them. They would be afraid that
vegetation would suffer, and the leaves of the
tree of life wither because the Sun did not go
down and there was no dew. ‘
Ho, all ye complainers! you who are ever
finding ~ fault with your’ucighbors, is there
no beam in your eye? Is there none of the
devil left in you? You who think that the
World is daily growing worse,'are you doing
any- thing to make it better ‘? . .
You who complain of the seasons and
the weather would you like to have the man-
agement of them? Md if you had would
you not be hung in less than a week for slop-
ping over things, and a multitude of huge
blunders ? - ,4 - . ‘
Read this every one of you :. “Let him

MAY SESSION, 1368.
FRIDAY, June 26.
.<I,,SENATE.—Prayer by the. Rev. Mr. Drown; .1
, On motion of Senator Street,fhe bill amends;
ing the charter of the Norwalk Savmgs Ban
was taken up. It was rejected. . -.
‘ The consideration of the resolutiomde pro-r
pa atiou offish was resumed. ”‘ “
Ir. Brainard moved to amend making the
amount $4,000; lost. . ‘
Mr. Lawrence thought'the sum of $8,000 a
large one to appropriate for this purpose.
Mr. Scott stated that the money is to be
used for. the. purpose of propagation of fish
in thc‘prln'cipal rivers and ponds in the state;
Passed. '
The vote on the bill amending the charter
of the Norwalk Savin Bank was rcconsrd-
ered. The bill allows that bank to take dc-
posits of $1,000 from an individual deposrtpr.
Mr. Huntington explained the necessrty
for the amendment.
The bill was passed and transmitted to the
House. -
HOUSE—Pro erb the Rev. Mr. Loper. -
The report 0 the orwalk Horse Railroad
Company was referred. _
A till for an act to prevent the taking of
berries fi‘om fields where notices to warn pet»
ple 08' are posted, was read and referred.
A 1138011115. in providing for a constitutional
amendment which provides for the selection
of a new capital by a plurality vote of the
electors of the State, and that the capital
shall be placed only in that town which shall
build a State House and deed it to the State,
the State to pay one third of the expense,
was read and referred. .
.The resolution to regulate fares on the rail-
roads partly in the State and artly out ofit,
was reported against. Mr. G over said that
he had urged the adoption of the resolution
before the committee, but on the promise of
the president of the road that the matter
should be attended to,he consented to let the
matter drop. .
Mr. Minor was sorry that the committee
had reported against the bill. He thought
no corporation created in the State for the
convenience of the people should be allowed
to charge the citizens of the State more than
those out of the State. Wh should .the
roads runnin fi-om New Yor to Spring-
geld charge e-citizens of. the. State 4 cents
- a mile and charge the citizens of New York
and Massachusetts only -2 and 2 cents a
mile? It was unjust, and there 5 ould be
some legislation in the matter. He was sur-
prised that the gentleman from Fairfield,
who introduced the bill at the request of ins
citizens, should sit still under the report.
Mr. Glover, of Fairfield said that he had
introduced the resolutions in good faith and
had urged their adoption in the committee;
but the president of the road had promised
that the matter should be attended to, ' and
for that reason they thought best to let it be
so arranged.‘ He had been president but a
short time, and had not been able to correct
all errors yet. .
Mr. Reid spoke for the passage of the bill.
He thought it high time the fares were reg«
ulated. ,
Mr.‘ Waller, of New London, thought the
fares should be regulated. The average fare
on the New York road was 3 cents per mile
less than any other road in the State; He
thought the fare on that road should not be
cut down. ‘
Mr. Babcock moved to table; carried.
The order of the day, the resolution to ap-
propriate $15,000 to the Connecticut Indus-
trial School for Girls was taken up,discussed
and the previous question was ordered. The
result of the vote was Ayes.65, Nays 91, so
the resolution was defeated.
The resolution to amend the charter of the
N orwalk Saving-Bank was taken up and
passed.
Resolution to amen-:1 the charter of the Dan-
bury and Norwalk Railroad Company came
from the Senate amended in the 7th section,
requiring the running of two trains daily
over the branch road. The amendment was
concurred in, and ma bill, as amended, was
passed. - -
Bill allowing the Coun Commissioners
to assess the amount of 8 without calling
together the representatives of the county,
was reported favorably upon and, passed.

Q‘Senator Henderson was married to
the gallery beauty, Miss-Foote, at the Na-
tional Hotel, Washington, last week. ‘ The
Senate laid aside its dignity and adjourrel
for two boots to attend and drink the Sena-
tor’s champaigne. President Johnson was
present, of course, and is now expected to
nominate the fair bride’s father for Commis-.
sioncr of» Patents. Whenever his name
comes in we trust there will be decency
enough left the Senate to promptly reject
him. Whatever Mr. Fool’s merits may be
fit the place, the public will believe that
this was to be one‘. of the rewards for Hen-
derson’s perfidy.

Mothers! we also recommend the Net-vine, for use in
the diseases which afflict children while teething, as
certain to afford quick and grateful relief. The stupe-
fylng Syrups, of which opium is the principal ingredi-

stomach and bowels, and actually impede the growth

THE WONDERFUL NEGRO BOY PIANIST,
BLIND TOM.
THE GREAT MUSICAL MYSTERY or THE NINE-
TEENTII CENTURY.
P081 TI VEL Y ONE NI G17] ' ONL Y!
This wonderful Negro Boy, who is now attracting
so much attention throughout the country, was blind
from his birth; yet he plays themost difllcultOperatic
Pieces. not only brilliantly and beautifully, but. with
all the taste, expression and feeling of the most Dis-
tinguished Artist. He was born in Georgia, and was
caressed and petted, as all negro children are about a
Plantation in the South, and more pnrticularly those
afilictcd with so terrible an infirmity as the loss of
si ht. But- when the veil of darkness was drawn over
h eyes, as if to make amends for the infliction u on
the poor Negro Boy, a flood of light was poured nto
his brain, and his mind became an Opera of Beauty,
written by the band of God, in syllables of muSIc, for
the delight of the world. He 13 presented to the pub-
lic as surpassin everything hitherto known to the
world as a MUS CAL PIIENOMENON’.
