MONTGOMERY HOUSE,
Five Mile River, Falrfield 00., Conn.
I HAVE recently leased for a term of years a new
and commodious Hotel, 2% miles from Norwalk
and 5 miles from Stamford, (a new station, ‘Roway-
ton,” has just been opened within M mile of the II o-
tcl). The House has been furnished with new furni-
ture throughout. It is located on the banks of Five
Mile River, with a frontage of 150 feet. House 50x45
feet, three stories and basement. It has a command-
ing view of Long Island Sound, and in close proximi-
ty to a desirable beach forbathin". By the New York
A: New Haven Railroad it is reac ed in from 1% to 2
lungs. There are also plying constantly between N.
Y. ity and Norwalk, two steamers, oneleaving every
day, morning and evening, also, a sloop from the Ho-
tel once a week. thus affordimr a variety of conveyan-
ces to and from the city. Within if of amile of the
Hotel are two churches, as well as numerous residences
of highly respectable families, forming a settlement:
at once agreeable and delightful to the sojourner. My
experience as a public caterer, both South and East, is
that of acknoweledged ability to keep a first-class
House. There are numerous drives in this neighbor-
hood that -arc unsurpassed; those who appreciate
aquatic sports, will find the boating and fishing une-
qualed. The terms of board are accommodating, and
vary according to rooms. For further particulars en-

Dear Little llIolllc.

Two little blue eyes fast asleep,
Two little hau'ds forever folded,

Two little weary feet at rest,
A form angelically moulded,

lobed in a dress of snowy white,

A rosebud in a silver vase:—

Such, lovely, pllrc and sweet she lay,
With still a smile upon her face.

No nlorc she softly speaks, “Momma?"
No more her little step she measures;

N 0 more sllcjoys her mlythings o‘er,
To her a world of priceless treasures;

Gone from afl‘cction’s loving breast,
Gone from a world of woe as well;

Her memory lingers round us still
Like fragrance from a flowery dell.

Her infant soul, from earth released,
We dare to hope, to trust, is flown
To heaven, forever there to shine
In robes of light before the Throne.
Her lifeless selfto us remains,
A thing of love and beautystill,
Though rcft of life’s ecstatic glow
Obedient to the Father’s will.

Where shall we lay our darling down
To rest till Jesus bids her rise,

All radiant ill immortal bloom
To dwell with him in Paradise '2

Lay her beside her grandmamma,
And plant white roses o’er her head,

And let the living myrtle twine
Amongdhe flowers that (loci: her bed.

Those flowers will only bloom so fade;
All earthly things are born to die;
From earth we come, to earth we go;
In her cold bosom all lnnst lie.
But there's a realm where comes no blight
Of 110., no life of toil and pain;
Where Jesus dwells and all is love,
And immortality shall reign.

The “’ll‘e’s Resolve.

A young lnarricd couple were living very
happily in one of the many beautiful towns
of the “Land of Steady Habits.” When the
cheerful wife looked at her affectionate hus~
band and beautiful babe, she thanked God
for her happy lot. Tllcy were in the higher
walks of'life,—shc a refined and delicate la-
dy, and he a man of culture.

But as time passed on he became a fre-
qucnfcr of a gay saloon. His wife exposin-
lutcd with him. 110 replied that he went
for the company onlyl-mecting genial young
friends there—that he never drank any-
thing bnt light wines which could harm no
one ; yet, if it troubled her, he would not go
any more. '

He found this promise easier to give than
to keep. Friends urged him, and again he
went. His anxious wife argued the subject
seriously, she told him, and with the utmost
truth, that all drinlkards were once model'-
atc drinkers, and that these light wines cul-
tivate not only a taste, but an appetite for
stimulants. The use of them weakens the
will, and the craving for liquor becomes a
physical disease.

Convinced, and fond ofhis wife, the young
man promised to drink no more. But the
fatal charm had already begun to work 11p-
on him’, and his wife discovered that he still
frequented the drinking house.

Now.this little .lad'y—fbr little she was—
was also a resolute woman. She had com-
mitted the priceless pearl of her happiness
into 1101'husband’fieeping, and she was de-
termined that he Should not dissolve both it
and his own in the drunkard’s glass. So
she put on her bonnet and shawl and down
the Street- she went to the liquor dealer. She
stated the case to him, and to his spe (dons
response, she replied. “If you continue to
entice lily husband to ruin, I will come here
again, and give you a cow~hidiug.” Then
she went home and awaited the issue.

The very next day her husband was 5 ur-
priscd while smoking and drinking in ,thc
saloon, to see his wife walk in. Her face of
sorrowing love and pity, and a few earnest
words addressed to him, sent- him home at
once, blushing with Shani‘c. She turned to
the liquor seller: “I told you what yell

might expect if you persisted in leading my

husband to drink.” Then, saying to the

men prescnt—~though they did not attempt

to interfere—“stand back! he knows be de-

serves it,” she made the strokes of her whip

tell on his red, bloated face. That strong

man paled and cowercd before the righteous

indignation flashing in that little woman's

eyes. A bad man is always afraid of a good

woman. ,

With smiles as bright as ever the Wife

met her husband at home, and uttered no re-

proach.‘ It is needless to state that the young

gentleman never again ventured into the

saloon. Shame and fear combined with

otherniotivcs to keep him away. And to

this day be thanks hiswif‘c for a rescued life.

This is a true story, It is written for the

“Gazette”, but it is not invented for the

“Glizcttell These events occurred some

years since in the neighborhood of New

Haven.

Young wives, be resolved that your hus-

bands shall not drink at all, and they cannot

become drunkards. O.

 

Correspondence.

 

Bnoekrom‘, N. Y., Aug. 12th 1803. .
DEAR GAZETTE—Thinking that it might
be interesting to you and your rcadc 's to
hear from the western part. of New York
state, I will attempt to give you a sketch of
the village of Broekport, where 1 am
stopping for a few days. Many of the people
of Norwalk and vicinity have near relations
and friends living here. Brockport is an
incorporated village of about three thons-
and inhabitants in the to; 'n of Sweden, ly-
ing on its Northern line and adjoining the
town of Clai‘kson. It was founded by Neil
Brockway, who was :1- than noted for liber-
ality and large heartedness,expressed among
other gifts, in the giving of property for the
erection of‘honses of worship for two dc-
ilominations, although he was nota profes—
501' of Religion. ‘He was a public benefac-
tor ; he owned the land west Of Main street,
and a1 rays encouraged people to settle, of-
ten aidiiigtllcln by giving logs for houses,
timber, 400.; he has long since passed to his
reward, he died in 1842 at the age of 67 years
much lamented by the community. Brock-
port is seventeen miles from Rochester on
the Rochester and Niagara _Falls R. R.,
which passes through the southern part. of
the village. Immense Freight trains pass
through here ladcncd with stock, and the
products of our states farther west, some of
them having forty and even as many as six-
ty ears attached. Six or seven passenger
trains stop here through the day going each
way. The Erie Canal runs through the
northern part of the village, and boats are
continually passing up and down loaded
with freight. There are seven churches here,
Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Episeopal,
Free Methodist, Lutheran and Catholic, all
well attended, three district schools, one
National Bank, one Banking house, three
manufacturing cStablishment which manu-
facture Reapers and Mowers, also one which
manufactures agricultural implements and a
patent sccd sowcr which I think would not
be of much use or advantage on our hills of
Norwalk, they being more calculated for
the fine, level tracts of country found iii this
part of the state. There are also two pump
factories making steam and hand pumps,
and one cabinet Factory. In the fall of 1866
the state located here one of the four State
‘Normal and training schools. The old Col-
legiate Institute established by a Mr. Bates
in 1841 was only 50 feet by 60 feet,4 stories
high and built of native Brown stone. In
1853 it was burned, and rebuilt ‘in the fol-
lowing ycar with an addition of 150 feet to
the old building, (75 ,foot wings each side.)
The trustees of the village are now erectin g
two wings, in accordance with plans sub-
‘mitted to the state authorities to the present
building, 50 feet front by 84 feet deep, each
extending 12 feet out front and rear than
the old bililding, making the total length of
Buildings, when completed 300 feet and in
the form of a capital block ‘H'ttcr E placed
horizontally. The contracts call for comple-
tion of the buildingr October 1st, but it will
be probably November before they will be
ready to be transfered to the State. The
north wing 50 by Si and 4 stories high will
be used for the training school and also as
an academy. The south wing fora Normal
school, and the main building for Parlors,
Libraries, Professors Rooms, and sleeping
apartments forstndellts. Ill the upper story
of cacheving is the chapel, capable of bold-
ing upwards of 1000 persons each. The
grounds comprise five acres, and ill front of
the building are laid out in walks and shade
trees. From the Observatory of the Building
can be seen the village of Brockport, ch-
den center, and Clarkson, with a large tract
of level farming country, while in the dis-
tance, 10 miles north, can be seen with the
aid of :1 good glass Lake Onlario,and steam-
ers passing upon it. The Normal school
when completed will cost the village 398,-
000 inculnding the cost of furnishing it
throughout, and will be a fine ornament to
the place, and will enhance the vale of prop-
erty and also give a healthful growth to the
village. The trustees deserve much credit
for their perseverance in carrying on this
work, and although a few men may grumble
at the heavy taxes they will eventuallythank
them for having the debt paid ill so short a
time, instead of stringing it along five or six

years. It is estimated that the grounds and
buildings of the Normal school when pre-
sented to the state, will be worth $100,000.
Brockport is also the residence of Mrs. Ma-
ry J. Holmes the popular Author-ass, whose
books and writings are found in most every
household. The weather has been very dry
for some six or eight weeks, and threatens the
deStruetion of the crops, if it should remain
dry much longer. A shower on Tuesday‘
night was received ‘with joy and gladness
by the farmers cspeeially,which somewhat

revived vcgitation. Ibclicve I have given

you all the points of interest. I have found

western part of New York state, call at

WAS an illustration of Grant’s courage,
Oliver Optic in his life of the General
gives a-singlc incident in his career, which
occurred during the battle of Monterey.

“The wills of the houses within the city
were strongly built, affording ample defen-
sive positions from which the Mexican sol-
diers could safely annoy the Americans.
From the windows they fired down upon
their assailants, disputing the possession of
each dwelling with the most dogged tenaci-
ty. .

“In the midst of this irregularstrife,wliile
the foe in the windows were rclnorsclcssly
shooting down the daring soldiers in the
streets below, the ammunition of the brigade
to which Lieutenant G rant was attached
was nearly exhausted. It was an unpleas-
ant position to be in, witlloutpowder or ball
to keep the enemy at bay; and it was there-
fore necessary to send for a fresh supply,
which could only be obtained by traversing
a distance of four miles. But who should
be the messenger to ride or walk beneath
those death-dealing muskcts in the windows
which were showering storms of bullets at
every blue-coat which appeared in the
streets below? The service was so fraught
with peril, if not with certain death, that
the general in command was not wiling to is
sue a preemptory order for any one to under-
takc_the mission. He called for avoinntecr.

“It is hardly necessary to say that, while
the brigade containéd a Grant, a volunteer
for any desperate service would not be
wanting. The lieutenant stepped forward,
and was dispatched on the important errand
upon which nothing less than the safety of
the command depended, without consider—
ing the ultimate success of the movement
in progress. Grant was a bold rider, and
full of cxpedicnts. He had been in the
Indian country, and was willing in this
emergency to profit by one of their feats of
horsemanship. Mounting a. spirited horse,
be attached one Of his feet to the back of the
saddlegraéping the animal’s mane with his
hand, and permitting himself to hang down
by the horse's flanks,so thathis body shic 1d-
ed the intrepid equestrian from the bullets
of the foe, who occupied the windows of on-
ly one side of the street. Hanging to his
steed in this perilous attitude, he dashed off
on his errand, at the highest speed of his
charger, passing in safety through the de-
structive fire. He succeeded in bringing in
a load of ammunition, guarded by a suffic-
cient escort to insure its safety.”

The Character of the Union Pacific
Railroad. .

While every person who has followed the

progress of that wonderful undertaking, the

Union Pacific Railroad, has marvelled at the

unparalleled rapidity with which it has been

constructed, some have felt skeptical as to

the character of the work which was being
done with such apparently headlong speed.
Was it possible to build seven hundred miles
of railroad in two years, and- do it well?
Could a railroad from New York to Chicago
be well built in two years’ time ? And if not

'here, where all the appliances needed were

at hand, or could be obtained at a day's no-
tice, then how 11 11011 less in a region beyond
settlement, beyond civilization, and where
laborers, supplies, tools, and all else, except
the land upon which the road was built,
must be transported hundreds of miles before
reaching the spot where they were wanted'
In short, the question, “Is the road well-
built?” has been one for whose satisfactory
solution many have waited before investin‘g
their. means in the Company’s securities,
which are liberal in their provisions, and
safe beyond pcrmiventnrc, if an affirmative
answer to this question can be fully estab-
lishcd.
Upon this point we must take the testi-
mon of personal witnesses, who have been
upo the ground and examined the work.
Fortunately, an opportunity has just been
afforded and improved for a full inspection
of the road and its belongings, by a party of
gentlemen who represent the reading
and thinking people. Thirty gentlemen,
representng as, many of the leading journals
of the-eastern cities, have just returned from
a trip which included over seven hundred
miles of the Union Pacific Railroad. They
had a special-train at their disposal, to stop
where they wished, to run fast or slow as
they might desire, and which gave them far
better opportunity to see both the good parts
of the road, and the bad ones—if any exist
~than the ordinary traveler by regular
trains. These witnesses are men of judg'
ment and discrimination, and their personal
characters, as well as the names of the jour-
nals which they represented, are guarantee
that they write (wt what their convictions
dictate. Let us 5. what some of‘tllesc gen-
tlemen say of the character of the Union
' Pacific Railroad: .
Hon. Charles A. Dana, of the New York
Sun, lutc Assistant Secretary of “for, says:
“A party of thirty gentlemen ," *‘
have just returned from up excursion to the
present terminus of the Union Paelfic Rad—
road at the Rocky Mountins. Their unani-
mous opinion is that the road is constructed
in the most thorough and solid manner, and
that it is superior in firmness, smoothness,
and capacity for rapid running, to any other
new road which they have ever seen. This
is true of the parts of the track which were
laid only the day before the CXCHI‘SIOH train
passed over them, as those at the east-
ern end of the line which have been in
use for some two years. The work 13 well
done, both as respects the judgment with
which it is laid out, and the thoroughness of
its construction; and there 15 no part of it-
which could, under the Circumstances, be
better than it is: all reports to the contrary
are erroneous and mistaken.”
The editor of the Boston Traveller says:
“It is built in the best. and most substantial
manner possible, and will compare favora-
bly with any other road in the United States.
For a new road, I do not remember ever
having traveled on its superior. * “-9 “
The road is well bullastcd, and except in
seasons of extreme drought, must be com—
paratively free. from dust. * “’5 " Few of
the old roads of the country are so easy to
ride over as this new one.” '
The editor of the Pllilsdl-lphia Bulletin
says: .
“So far from imperfect and superficial
workmanship being put upon’ the road, ove-
rything indicates a determinatizm that the
work now done shall be as (inhibit-21:; human
ingenuity and enterprise can make 11'. 'i he
workshops, engine houses and other struct-
ures at Omaha, Cllcycllllc.Norfh Platte and
La 'zllllit‘. are. all handsome stone and brick
edifices, that will last without. repair or 1-1»
construction for gent-rations; while the road
itsell‘is as; solidly and substantially built: as
any railroad in function. - '1‘ "4‘ 4* In short.
the closest scrutiny has failed to detect any
signs of'llasty Ol' llllperfect construction.”
The editor of" the N. Y. Eryn'css, say S :
“Firm, solid, substantial, we have now as
fine a track as can be found on aknost any
road in the cotllltry,‘wltile the travelling ac-
commodations are full of ease and comfort.
'"i * " A visit to the \Vllds of the Rocky
Mountains will convince the traveller that
the Pacific Railroad is neither a myth nor a
Brummagcn allan', gotten up for purely
L speculative purposes.

 

The editor of the Boston-Tramcnpt says :

“The Union Pacific is a. first-class road;
finely graded, thoroughly tied, well ironed
and ballastcd, and substantially bridged.”

The editor of the Baltimore American
says of the road : -

“It is welland substantially built and bal-
lastcd, and rules more easily than two-thirds
of the roads east of the Mississippi.”

And again he speaks in the following un-
qualified commendetion :

“I must reserve for another occasion some
remarks upon the character of the read, its
financial baSls, present business, and future
prospects. But it is proper to say just here
that the rumors that have been put afloat at
the East that the Company are a party of
speculators, putting down a rude and poorly
constructed road, that will be useless or
nearly so when completed, is a falsehood
that could only have been deliberately con-
cocted and put in circulation for reasons
which would not bear examination. The
road is a good One, well and solidly laid,
With heavy rail, and twenty-six hundred
cross ties to the mile, over which the cars
travel With remarkable smoothness, and the
equlplllents, station-houses and work-shops
of which all Show that it is being built for
use and not speculation." . '
The editor of New Haven Palladium says
of the most extensive and difficult bridge
upon the route :

:‘Itisbcing constructed with admirable
sklll, and is capable of bearing a weight for-
ty tun-cs greater than will ever be placed
npon_it. " " A careful examination
of'this magnificent structure convinced ev-
ery member of the party that the marvel-

built, has not been achieved by any sacrifice
Of security."

The editor of thc'New York Times refers
to the that running done on a portion of the
trip, and says :

“The locomotive tOre along at a speed of
over 40 miles an hour, and smoothly enough
we travclcd, even at that high rate, proving
coucluswcly that the Union Pacific Railroad
ls substantially built.”

Of the Company’s shops at Omaha, the
same authority says : ’ ,
“The first-class cars manufactured here
are equal to any cars to be found on any of
the eastern railroads, and indeed, the whole
rolling stock of the Company will compare
“'liil that of'any other road in the country.”
The editor of the Philadelphia. Age says :.
.“It might be supposed, from the rapidity
with which the work was done, that it was
of a temporary and perishable character.
But. such is not the case. * * 0f the
roadway it is enough to say that we travers-
ed 1t smoothly, safely and steadily for five
successrve days, at a rate of speed varying
from twenty to fifty miles per hour, and be-
tweep the 01d track and that at the western
terminus, which had been finished but an
lipid" or two, no discrepancy was percepti.
1 e.- .

The editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin
gives the following spirited description of
the way the track is being laid:
:‘Track-laying on the Union Pacific is a
selenec, and we, pundits of the Far East,
stood on that embankment, only about a
thousand miles this side of sunset, and
backed westward before that hurrying corps
of sturdy operators, with mingled feeling of
amusement, curiosity and profound respect.
On they came. A light car, drawn by a sin-
gle horse, gallops up to the front with its
lead of rails. Two men seizevthe end of a
rail and start forward, the rest of the gang
taking hold by twos, until it is clear of the
car. Then they come forward at a. run. At
the wordot‘ commandthe railis dropped in its
place, right side up with care, while thesame
process goes on at the other side of the car.
Less than thirty seconds to a rail for each
gang, and so four rails go'down to the min-
ute 1 Quick work, you say, but the fellows
on the U,.P. are tremenduousl in earnest.
The moment the car is empty it is tipped on
the other side of the track to let the next
loaded car pass it, and then it is tipped back
again, and it isa sight to see it; ,go flying
back for another load, propelled bya horse
at full gallop at the end of sixty or eighty
feet of rope, ridden by a young Jehu, who
drives furiously. Close behind the first
gang came the gaugcrs, spikers, and boilers,
and a lively time they make of it. . It is a
grand Anvil Chorus that-those sturd sledg-
cs are playing across the plains. t is in
triple time, three strokes to a spike. There
are ten spikes to a rail, four hundred to the
mile, eirrhteen hundred miles to San Fran-
isco. I‘hat’s the sum,whatisthe(1uotient?
Twenty-one million times are those sledges
to be swung—twenty-one million times are
they to come down with their sharp punctu-
ation before the great work of modern Adler'-
lca is complete.’ '

These quotations might be greatlyextcnd-
cd, but all the members oflhe editorial par-
ty bear similiar testimony to the thorough-
ness of construction of the Union Pacific
Railroad, and the permanent character of all
its equipment aud‘appurtcnances. They are
all equally positive concerning the greatbusi-
ncss future which the road must have. as out-
let for the vast region west of the Missouri
awaiting development.
We learn from the Treasurer of the Com-
pany that. the earnings of the road for the
past year exceeded four million dollars.
Great as this sum is, it must be considered
as only the beginning of the immense traffic
which will pass over the road when the

whole line shall be finished. _

WThe following is the concluding por-
tion of Senator Buckingham’s speech at the
recent re-union of the officers of the Fifth
Regiment Conn. Vols :—
“But to form a just estimate of What Con-
necticut has accpmplished during the rebel-
lion, we must consider the obstacles which
have been overcome. An engineer goes
upon the western prairies with his men and
_in a short time looks back upon a. hundred
miles of straight, level completed road. It
is a great work. But let him build the road
from Greenfield to Troy, look back and see
its windings around the hills, the bridges
which have been built, the many streams
which have been crossed, the mountains
which have been leveled, the valleys which
have been filled, and at Hoosae a tunnel
bored through miles of granite, and in com—
parison with his first work this will be like
a new creation. During the rebellion Con-
necticut went through such granite moun<
tains. They were found in the opinion ex-
pressed by an influential press that South
Carolina had seeeded as she had a right to do.
They were found in the record of eighteen
members of the Connecticut House of Repe-
sentativcs in 1861 who voted to amend reso-
lutions then pending before that body, by
striking out all which recognizBd the duty
of the general government to resist and sup-
press the rebellion by force, and the duty of
Congress to listen to any grievances which
plight be presented in a lawful manner by
our disafibetcd fellow citizens, and who vo-
ted to substitute a resolution which recog-
nized the withdrawal of one-third of the
states from the Union as an accomplished
fact. We had some disloyal men who hypo-
critically declared themselves in favor of
the national Union, but held public meet-
ings and raised peace flags to encourage
and strengthen the cause of secessron. They
cal-1v declared the war a failure and coun-
selled a surrender to the demands of our
enemies. They denounced the national ad-
ministration, opposed a draft to fill the army
and enforce the laws, but had no words of
condemnation for their friends in a neigh-
boring city, who werc engaged in robbery,
pillage and lnurder. They stood at the cor-
ilersbf the. streets and met those who had
abandoned their business and left their
home for the purpose of volunteering, and
turner some from their purpose. They
chuckled with joy when Lee’s army march-
ed into Maryland and Pennsylvania, rind _
shouted at those who would save a nation
to libel-iv. These and other obstacles more
difficult. to be. overcome than mountains of
granite met the state authorities in their ef-
forts to sustain the government, and lay
across the path of the Connecticut soldier
as he pressed to the conflict. Look at them,
if you would see what Connecticut accom-
plished during the rebellion. But these
were spots and blemishes on the body polit—
in, and not the body itself. They were the
eruptions of disloyalty which struggled for
the life of" the nation, but were overpower:
