RE-UNION AT NOBWALK, AUG. 23, 1808.
Honored “17th,” ye are welcome!
On the nation’s scroll of fame
‘ Shines no fairer, brighter recoid
Than‘the halo round your name.
Valiant “17th,” ye are welcome !
Here unite yoilr war-thinned ranks,
And accept these festal honors,
With our many, heartfelt thanks.
Not the tongue alone shall greet you ;—
Heart and soul inspire the words
With which gratitude shall meet you,
Who once drew for us your swords.
We are debtors—we confess it—
Debtors to you, one and all ;
For our lives, your lives ye periled,
At your country’s urgent call.
Tearful memory in whisper,
Names the patriotic braves,
Who were marshalled in the “17th,”
But were left in southern graves.
Ah! they come not to re-union,
And when muster-roll is read,
But a vacant place respondeth,
“ Numbered with the nation’s dead.”
Fallen heroes! fallen brothers!
Though ye died from home afar,
Holding firm your nation‘s standard
In the din and shock of war,
Ye are with us—ye are of us,
By your decdsunselfish wrought;
Ye are with ns—ye are of us,
By the peace your life-blood bought.
Once again, we say thrice Welcome,
Both to loved ones of the lost,
And the living who have gathered
In remembrance of the past;
May this day be one of gladness,
May your cup with joy o‘erfiow,
And with God’s rich benediction,
To your future duties go.
From this scene of prized re-union,
And the memories that rush,
From fire words of sweet communion,
And the hallowed tears that gush,
From your genial flow of spirits,
And this rest from worldly strife,
From this interchange of greetings
On the shadowed path of life,
From the hopeful visions rising
On our waiting nation’s sight,
From the onward march of Freedom,
And the victories of Right,
May you gain some noble impulse,
May you take a purer faith,
For the march of life before you,
And the solemn march of death.

the goods from the room without disturbing

upon the denominational tenets of the large

ment of the irate, but cool Presbyterian
parson who had a similiar “difficulty” with
an elder in his church, who very deliberate-
ly divested himself of his sable coat and
white cravat, and casting them aside re-
marked,“divinity, youlie there till I chastise

jocularity provoked by the event, that caus-

Saturday night, had a narrow escape from
violent death, at Winnipauk. The train con-
sisted of six cars, all crowded, and many
passengers were obliged, or at least did,
stand upon the platforms of the several cars.
At Winnipauk station some of them got off
to allow other passengers to disembark, and
after the train started, a man whose name
we did' not learn, attempted to jump on the
forward platform of one of the cars; he
'caught hold of the railing but failed to get
his feet on the platform, was carried along
some distance, swung against the side of the
ear, and finally fell ofi‘ as the cars were go-
ing over the brdge, and by stretchiug out his
arms saved himself from going through in
to the river below. The train was stopped,
and the man was taken aboard, apparently
not seriously hurt. '-

We copy the following from the Indepen-

The American Sunday School Union, we
are glad to note, have several missionaries
in the Carolinas, whose labors among the
children have the advantage of hearty 00-.
operation.
A correspondent of the Sunday School
Times, travelling through South Carolina,
expresses his conviction that “the only prac-
ticable way to reach this sparse population,
whether white or black, is by some cheap,
itinerant, union method, like that of the Am
Sunda School Union. This plan, while not
a specralty to the freedmen and having no
denominational ax to grind, meets the heart
co-opcration of all classes and all denomi-
nations. ' '
The Sunday School is the cheapest and
the most efficient of all miésionary agencies
for the propagation of the gospel. It car-
ries the gospel to the young, who are not yet
so full absorbed in the cares of this world,
and w o are not so firmly entrenched in evil
habits. Labor with the oung, therefore, is
in itself more hopeful. esides this, a Sun-
day School missionary, in going into a field,
always has it in his power to call to his as-
sistance scores and hundreds of voluntary
fellow-laborers.

R. R. Swrrcu a DEAWBnIDGE SIGNAL, g
113 Liberty Sim. Y. Ma 15, ’68-
MEssns. EDITORS—Please allow- me space
to correct a statement made in your paper
of the 11th inst. which was that the Electric
Signal was placed at the. Norwalk Draw at
the Patcntee’s expense. . Pres. Bishop made
a thorough examination of the Signals and
gave me an order to apply the same at the
Bridgeport Draw and also at the Stamford
Switch, nearly one year ago; when the work
was completed my bill was presented and
promptly paid. I also received an order in
April last to apply the signals at the Nor-.
walk draw. While I believe.with you, that
had the Signal been applied at the Westport
draw the late accident would have been
prevented, yet I think you must agree with
me that President Bishop and Supt. Hoyt
acted in a business like way in thus putting
the Signals to a thorough practical test be-
fore making"a general application of the
same. Very respectfully yours,
THOMAS S. HALL, Patcntee.
WWO mo‘st cheerfully give pl“: to the
above. But Mr. Hall in his anxiety to
shield the New York 85 New Haven Com—
pany from blame “proves too much,” as the
lawyers say of a damaging witness. This
Westport accident occurred in August. Pres.
Bishop as far back as March last certifies
over his own name that by the use of Hall’s
Alarm Switch, accidents at draws cannot
happen unless the draw tender and engineer
are both deaf and blind. Now we leave the
parties interested to the deductions of their
own logic. We believe that what Mr. Bish-
op and Mr. Hoyt say about Hall’s Switch is
true. If they have confidence in their own
words, why dont they introduce them upon
all thfiir Bridges. Surely they have tum-
bled one or more trains through every 'one.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS—The Pianofortc
has long been the popular home and con-
cert instrument, yet in point of swelling and
sustaining the tones it is extremely defective.
On account of this deficiency, music written
in chords, or in a connected style, cannot be
satisfactorily executed, as the long notes re-
sult in diminuendos where they should be
sustained. The taste for the Organ and or-
chestral style of music is being rapidly devel-
oped, and widely diffused—and the time is
approaching, when the demand for this sus-
tained style of music will supersede the pres-
ent Piano compositions. There are no in-
struments capable of such fine expression in
this style of music as the AMERICAN ORGANS,
manufafiurcd by Messrs. .S. D. do H. W.
Smith, Boston. There delicacy and va-
riety in the voicing renders them susceptible
of beautiful orhestral effects, by the skillful
use of the tremolo and the improved knee
swell, while the deep manual sub-bass which
is added to the new styles, gives the closest
resemblance to the pipe organ—Boston
