Free Reading Room.
\Ve are glad to see that the Y. M. C. A.
have thrown open their Reading Room to
the general public, free of charge. This
movement is a worthy one, and our citizens
‘ should contribute liberally to the Asso., so
that the list Of papers and magazines can be
enlarged, and the rooms made an attractive
place of resort for all classes.

PERSONAL—Senator Ferry arrived home
from Saratoga, on Wednesday last.
Lieut. J. C. Kinney, formerly of Darlen,
has returned home from Florida, and accept-
ed a posItion on 'the editorial corps of the
Waterbury American. .
Our young friend Henry Lockwood, Of
Chicago, is spending a short vacation at
“1101118."
David E. Disbrow, of South Norwalk, is
rustica'ting in Western-New York.
Mr. E. J..Hill, Secretary of the Iron‘
Works, has just returned from a business
trip to Chicago and other places in the Great
West.
LECTUREs.—The lecturecommittce of the
Y. M. C. A. are arranging for the lectures to
be given next winter. We learn that they
propose having two Courses of four lectures
each, with a month’s intermission between
the courses during the holidays. John B.
, Gough has been engaged to deliver the open-
illg lecture on Friday, Oct. 30th, and will be
followed by Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island,
and probably by Bishop Simpson, and Rev._
Mr. Gallaher of Brooklyn. In addition to the
above, efforts will be made to secure lectures
from Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips,
Stephen H. Tyng and Theodore Tilton.
MORE IIACHINEBY.—Dtlring the past week
we have introduced another and larger one
of Gordon’s superb Printing Machines. Our
steadily growing Job Printing business ren-
dered this absolutely necessary, as it did the
introduction of a second Montague mamoth
cylinder a few months previous. It is no
exaggeration for us to afiirm that we have
the largest and best equipped Job Printing
office in western Connecticut and our friends
seem to appreciate the fact.

BRIDGEPORT,Ma1'ch 10, 1868.
Dca/r Sir :—-We have ven a trial for
several months to Hall’s lectric Railway
Switch and Draw Signal, and can recom-
mend it as accomplishing all that is claimed
for it. Its chief merits over all other signals
consists in the double warning which it gives
when the switch is turned off the main track
so asto endanger a passing train. By .the
bell which is always ringing when the swrtch
is wrong, the switch tender cannot well for-
get his duty, while the engineer of the train
also has a warning by a signal placed at any
.
desired distance from the switch. The in-
vention of Mr. Hall, if applied to_all swatch-
es upon the main tracks of a railroad, Will
in .my judgment, render the accidents .at
switches, which are now so common, 2m-
possz’blc, unless the engineer is blind, and the
switchman is deaf.‘
Yours, respectfully. _

Dear Sir :-In reply, to yours of tlus

switches and drawbridges.

RESICNED.—We regret to learn that Col.
R. B. Craufurd has felt compelled to tender
his reSlgnation as commanding officer Of- the
Eighth Regiment C. N. G. During his term
of service, as Captain of 00. G., and Colonel
of this Regiment, he proved himself an able
and efii'icient oflieer, and won the respect
and confidence of his subordinate officers
and men to a degree rarely attained by mili-
tia officers, and the members of the regiment
generally will be sorry to hear of his resigna—
tion of their favorite oilicer. \
FALL ENCAMI’MENT.—WC learn that ar-
rangements are being made to hold the an-
nual encampment of the 8th Regiment C.
N. G., at Greenwich, commencing Sept. 14th
and continuing six days, under command of
Licut. Col. Haight. During the Encamp-
ment an election will be held to fill the va-
cancy caused by the resignation of Col.
Craufurd. *
NORWALK GUARDs.—This company which
was organized during the darkest days of
the war, in response to the pleading request
of many citizens, immediately after the New
York riots, is about to be disbanded. The
term of service of the charter members 'has
expired, -and being chiefly business men
they feel unwilling to continue longer in the
service,—a service always unpleasing, per-
haps, to the majority and in which they on-
listed Only from a sense of duty to the com-
munity. As the charter, members comprise
the principal portion of the company, their
discharge renders the disbanding of the com-
pany advisable. Co. G. was recruited from
the ranks of our best young men, and dur-
ing their term of service they have kept up
an efficient organization, with constant
drills, and succeeded in attaining a rank
second to no other company. At the' last
two cncampmcnts they received the highest
marks given by the examining ofiiccrs. We
regret that the company is to be disbanded,
and wish, instead, that enough of our young
men could be found to fill up the ranks.

A call for a town meeting is advertised for
Friday, for the purpose of, working the
at pre'sent almost impassable road starting
from our new Fair Grounds and running
southerly to the New Canaan road, thence
through the lands of Mr. Harvey Fitch, A.
H. Byington and James Wiseman to Cath-
arine street, and thence to the village via the
Amphitheatre bridge. This road for the en-
tire linc is already thrown Open as a free
gift to the town, with the exception of about
200 feet belonging to Mr. Wiscman,which
is offered the town at the low price of $400.
All that is required of the town is that it-
will put it in good travelling condition down
as far as the Bridge and pay tllc original
cost of thc~Bridgc, if the public desire the
free use of that crossing. All along the up-
per line of this road houses are already
thickly studded and more are going 11p. It
is true they belong mainly to Irishan and
the poorer class of society. Bllt the poor
have rights. The laborer pays his taxes as
cheerfully and generally more promptly
than the wealthy, and they should be
considered in the distribution of the town’s
favors. But aside from ‘these consid-
erations, a second areal/c up to our Fair «
Grounds is imperatively needed. We have
one of the best and most attractive locations
for our annual Fair in thewholc county and
our people cannot do too much towards ma-
king it in every respect easily accessible
from all sections of the town. _
The working of this road and throwing
open the Bridge, gives all'South Norwalk
and the towns west of us a chance to reach
the Fair grounds at a saving of fall a half
mile, and by a pleasanter and less dusty
highway. Then those who were in attend-
ance last year will recall the clouds of blind-
ing dust, the collisions with half crazy jehucs,
constant upon Main street, owing to the
gorge Of vehicles going to and from the Fair.
Probably no improvement promising so
much public convenience, in comparison
with its trifling outlay, has been agitated
here these ten years past.

meeting last Frsday, it was voted to grade

plaint for assault, &c.; McLaughlin pleaded
guilty and was sent to' the State Reform
School for eighteen months. The complaint
in'this case came from the parents and broth-
ers of the boy, and it appears that the boy
fora long time had been past all parental
control.
Alig.,12—State es. Martha Commoss, com-
plaint for being found intoxicated ; plead
guilty, sent to jail for non-payment ofrfine
$3.00 and costs $6.20. This person in acon-

‘ NEW CANAAN, Aug. 14th, 1868.
Musslzs. EDITORS GAZETTE :—
An article in to-day’s Stamford
Advocate being liable to give the impression
that the undersigned was the author of the
“Dialogue” publishedfin last week’s Advocate,
I desire space enough in your paper to cor-
rect such impression (if it exists) and also
some misapprehensions of the editor in re-
gard to the position of the senior editor of
the GAZETTE during the early history of our
Bank. Disclaiming all purpose of express-
ing any opinion of the propriety or impro-
priety of making the casual remarks, jokes
or banterings of individuals, the basis and
publishing them to the world as the opin-
ions of a community; holding that commu-
nity rcspopible for them, is an undertaking,
whatever its merits, that does not belong to
me.
In regard to the Bank matter, the only
manner I can conceive how the editor of the
Advocate can be so mistaken is upon the hy-
pothesis that he has confounded his sources
of information. The simple facts of the
case are these : New Canaan wanted a
Bank. Learning that the obtaining of a
charter for a Bank was of doubtful issue,
upon consultation it was decided to send
some person to Washington. The lot fell
on me. Upon making application to Mr.
McCulloch we found him laboring under the
hallucination that New England had itsqu
share of banking capital, and very frankly
he told us that Connecticut had more than its
proportion. We could not gainsay his state-
ment, but we were there to obtain a charter;
our purpose was to pursue the course most
likely to succeed. Representatives of the
Fairficld CO. Bank were then in Washing-
ton engaged in the process of transform-
ing their Bank into a National Blink. We
were not anxious to meet them, we did not
meet them. New Canaanwas a customer
of theirs; our experience had taught us not
to expect too much of human nature. Ad-
vocates do not springnaturally from adverse
interests. The editor'of the Advocate in his
commendable purpose of starting a newspa-
per in this village, does not go to N orwalk
to assist him in his enterprise, he comes
he‘lfi we have given him a helping hand,
are doingand shall continue to do so. We
cannot see any impropriety in the matter.
Endeavbring not tobc placed upén the list
of “bores” by Mr. McCulloch, we were de-
layed in. Washington ; during such delay
we met the senior editor of the GAZETTE, he
was glad to see me; inquired of me what
brought me to Washington. Not being
‘ ready'to wiswcr him I evaded the inquiry.
As opportunities ofi‘cred interviews were
had at the Comptroller’s Oflice, and finally I’
was successful. The evening previous to
the morning for the final decision, after the
material was all in the hands of the Board
for determination, I called upon the editor
Of the GAZETTE and his family at his resi-
dence; during our conversation he remarked
to me “ Noah, you ought to have a Bank in
New Canaan,” my answer was, “that is just
what I am here for, will you help give it a
boost ?” After the enjoyment of the sur-
prise, he replied, “Certainly, although Mil-
lcr is here and I am doing all I can to get
Fail-field 00. Bank nationalized, and Ought
not to be too oflicious in your behalf, lest I
should jeopardize their interests, but you
ought to have it, and Lhopc you will get it.”
Certain I am that I have never represented
the editor of the GAZETTE in any other light,
and whoever has ever. understood me in any

TIIE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD—The
rapidity with which this Read is being con-
structed is really wonderful. Two hundred
miles. have been completed and put in run-
ning order since last may, and new trains
are running to a point 750 miles west of the
Missouri Piver. - It now looks -as if pas-
sengers will be able to ride to Salt Lake by
December, and through to the Pacific Coast
before the close of 1869.

Letters from the People.
our Publlc Schools.
No. 4.
Before closing these brief and very im-
perfect suggestions in regard to our School
system, we must be allowed a remark upon
the hours of study.
The last report of our valued Acting
Visitor represents the number of scholars
registered both in summer and winter as
'over eleven hundred. All of theée except
twenty-five are between the ages of four and
sixteen. Many of them are very' young—
t00 YOImg indeed to be confined in school at
all. But as the law allows it, and as the first
idea of school with many parents is of a
place where their children are out Of the
way, We must make the best of it. But six
hours a day in a close school room for chil-
dren so young is simply inhuman. If the
time for all the scholars is not shortened—as
it might be with advantage—it, certainly
should be for these. 0 Five hours a day well
employed would be more profitable to most
pupils than six, and this is the extreme limit
which the younger portion should be allow-
ed to reach, and that broken by proper re-
cesses. ‘
The noon intermission is a matter of prac-
tical importance. This of course must be
controlled in a measure by the circumstan-r
ces of the district. Where the scholars
generally remain at school, or go but a short
distance, the intermission must perhaps 111'
most‘necessarily be short. But in our prin-
cipal districts there is no necessityfl‘or this,
and the reasons are all against it. Take our
Center School for example,—and we believe
thergis no other now more admirably man-
aged—the noon intermission is an hour and
a quarter long. - Many of thc‘children have
to go half a mile or more to their homes.
What is the result? They hurry to their
dinner ; they bolt it, hot and tired and with
feverish anxiety of being late, and rush to
school again to commence study an a half-
eaten, undigested dinner. This promises
fairly to give in ten or twenty years a very
respectable generation of dyspeptics—a nui-
sance to themselves and Of little use to the
world. _'
The plan of five hours consecutive study,
from 9 to 2 o’clock, is to our mind very little
better on the score of health ;' and is out of
all harmony with the habits of our commu-
nity. A much better plan for children and
parents, in all our schools, would be to have
the hou'rs of stndy from 9 to 1,2 in the morn-
respondent “ Bath” in the description of the
High School of that city has so anticipated
our plan that little remains for us to say ex-
cept to thank him for his- account and to
urge the adoption of some such plan upon
the citizens of Norwalk. It is just now per-
haps our most urgent secular want.
Thousands of dollars are going fr‘om us
continually to the educational institutions
of other places ; and our children are sent
off to the hazards of a boarding-school life
at the very time when they need the influ-
ences of home most strongly. At the same
time many to whom an education would be
an unspeakable boon, are compelled to fore-
go the hope of it from want of means to
meet elsewhere the expense of that prepara-
tion which our schools fail to furnish.
No appropriation that a town can make
pays better than that which is made for the
best education Of her children. Let us then
have the best possible @ystem of education
that the present and prospective wants of
our town require; a system which commen-
cing with the primary department shall cul-
minate in a high school or academy of the
highest order. We know that it will require
much to accomplish this; but it will repay
a thousandtimes all the effort and alllthe
money it may coat. We mun do sOmething
in this direction, or Norwalk will lose the
position to which she is justly entitled, and
which she can now easily maintain.
There are two ways in which the object
we urge can be attained. First, the town
can do it. Hartford has just voted $125,000
for a new high school building. And so
universal is the conviction of the value and
importance of the school to all the interests
of the place, that the vote passed, we are
told, unanimously. - ‘
A fraction of such appropriation would
give us the foundation of an institution
which in a few years, under proper direc-
tion, would be the glory of our town. The
Free Academy of Norwich has done per-
haps more than any other thing besides to
give that place its honored reputation and
its position in the state.
Whatever the town may do, are there not
men of wealth who may welcome the sug-
gestion of such a use of their riches as
while leaving an enduring monument for
themselves, shall be an incalculable blessing
to future generations. If there is any man
whose place we should envy—every other
duty being done—it is his who should found
and endow THE NORWALK FREE ACADEMY.

Mussas‘. EDITORsz—In your paper of Aug.
11, you copy an article from the Bridgeport
Standard, headed “ Rascally Dodge—Far-
mers Beware,” in which is described the
manner of an attempted swindle on George
B. Gorham of Westport. In your comments
you speak of an “organized gang of sharp-
ers” for the purposes of such swindling, and
then in referring to the evidence of one of the
parties brought before me last week, you say,
“the fellow acknowledged himself. as the
head of the organization.” He diiDnot do
so. This is not true. Had he done so he
' would have been held for trial. The parties
brought beforé‘me were not shown to have
had any knowledge that the notes they were
trying to negotiate were forged, and this it
was absolutely necessary should be showed
to warrant their being held for trial. Imuy
add that u n the evidence the counsel for the
State did texpect that these parties would
be so held. It is indeed a matter 'of regret
that the‘ parties who obtained the forged
notes have not been caught, as the evidence
of guilty knowledge in their case is very
clear. - Very truly yours,
