The 17th,. Anniversary-"A Gala Day
in Norwalk.
That old Norwalk does not do things by
halves was certainly established on Fi‘jday
lasthby at least the three hundred or more
veteran boys of the 17th and other Conn.
Regiments. The day was one of surpassing
loveliness, which was a gracious satisfaction
to all the weatherwise and otherwise, who
supposed they had gOod omens the evening
previous to predict a stormy day.
The train down from Danbury brought a
goodly number of the boys of the 17th,
while the M to 8 from Bridgeport brought
many more, accompanied by that superb
Band (the Wheeler & Wilson), and the 9 and
9.40 111) trains completing the number of
those who formed in line' at the South Nor-
walk Depot, at about _10 o’clock, a. m., and
thence marched to the Bridge. The Burn-
side Guards, Capt. Crosmofl kindly tender-
ed their services as escort for their veteran
comrades and headed the march. The pro-
cessionflconsistcd 'of, first the Martial Band
of the Burnside Guards, the Company,
Wheeler & Wilson Band, Veterans of the
17th, members of other Conn. Regiments,
invited guests" and citizens in carriages, end-
ing with general committee of arrangements.
The line was of imposing length, but the
crowds .of people lining the streets and
cheering the brave boys who had been
spared to return to their peaceful homes,
must have been particularly gratifying.
Strangers who wercfihcrc, who were fa-
miliar with military demonstrations in the
larger cities of the State, pending the war
period, assert that they never saw so much
bunting flying anywhere as was visible in
Norwalk on Friday. At South Norwalk,
the Lock Factory, New Iron Works, 620.,
were overshadowed by the proudly flaunt-
ing flag of our restored Union. At the resi-
dence of Winfield S. Hanford, the hunting
of a whole navy seemed to have been flung
to the breeze; his house, trees and grounds
were most tastefully and profusely adorned
with . the national emblems. Crofut J:
Kuapp’s Hat Shop was the next edifice at-
tracting our attention. Here a huge flag sur-
mounted their factory. Other private dwel-
lings on the way up were prettily decorated
with smaller flags and emblems. At chrand
Lockwood’s Lodge the “old flag” was hung
out, and the boys greeted its generous own
er, who had been the munificcnt patron of
CO. F, with three tremendous cheers. At
- the residences Of Beatty Brothers the stars
and stripes lavishly studded the door yards
and door porphes. Capt. Wm. R. Smith had
his bunting conspicuously displayed. Dr.
James E. Barbour also swung out the ensign
of the free from his balcony, while the no-
ble old clms in front of the Norwalk Hotel
fairly bent under the weight of bunting.
ScOfield& Barnum had the tri-colors run
up to the roof of their store, while the old
GAZETTE sent one of its streamers across
the street, and mounted a new one (in place
of the old, worn out during the war) at mast
head ; VanHoosear Jr Ambler also sent up
the tri-colors to the eagle’s beak at the apex
of Gazette Building and filled their win-
dows with all the red, white and blue goods
in their store, we opine. John chna, down
Water strret, unfurled his flag to the breeze,
the National Democratput theirs forth from
office window, and the old “hickory” near
the Conn. Hotel was made to wear a patri-
otic air by some twenty square feet of na-
tional colors. Gruman’s store was appro-
priately and showily decorated, as was J en-
nings & Newkirk’s, John Bennett’s, Stephen
Roe’s, Turk’s, The Republican Club Rooms,
Uhle Brothers, Geo: Keeler’s, Campbell’s,
Lee and others. Proceeding up Main street,
across from the residence of Edwin Hoyt,
two fine flags were stretched, and between
their parting folds was a small banner hear-
ing the simple, yet eloquently suggestive
words

Miss Lizzie Hoyt’s were the failifingers
which wrought this pleasant reminder, as
they wrought numberless garments and
matters of comfort for the soldier boys in‘
the dark years of war, now happily passed.
Two handsome flags were displayed from
the front porch of Capt. Fred Betts’s mater-
nal residence and other flags and decorations
marked the line of march around North
Avenue, via the Churches, down Mill Hill,
to Lockwood’s Hall. - Here,wc'think, was
the pleasantest surprise perhaps, Of the day.
The Hall was profusely adorned in a taste-
ful and apprOpriatc manner with flags, mOt-
toes, portraits, flowers, names of battles, &c.
On the front of the galleries, on either side
It: 1"
1
of the stage, hung portraits of Fowler and,
Wilcoxson, and in front Of the stage a por-
trait of Walters—the three Lieut. Cols. of
the Regiment killed in battlc,—all surround-
ed with wreaths of flowers. On the stand
in front of the stage Wasa torn silk flag
presented to the Fowler Guards, (Co. A.)
by the ladies, just previous to their leaving
for the front. Companies not being allowed
to carry flags in battle, this flag was wound
around the body of one of the Lieutenants’
at Chancellorvillc, for safe keeping, but un-
fortunately that ofilcer was captured and
the flag taken from him. Some six months
ago this flag was restored to Company A.
through the courtesy and soldierly honor of
a member of an Indiana Ragt, who re-cap-
turcd it from rebels in North Carolina, who
were boasting and jccring over its posses-
sion, the particulars of which are familiar
to all GAZETTE readers.
Along the gallefics the battles in which
Connecticut troops had especially participa-
ted, and the names Of Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Meade, Hooker, Hancock, Terry
Ferry, &c,, were set in gilded letters on blue
ground. In addition to the lavish spread of
flags, the Hall was radiant with floral offer-
ings. From every gas pendant and chande-
lier were suspendcdgenerous boqucts and
and baskets of choice flowers, while across
the entire front of the stage a close border
of pond lilies skirted the outer edge.‘ To
Messrs. Kroger, Daskam and VanDewatcr
are we indebted for the' patriotic decora-
tions, and to Mrs. Col. Wilcoxson and Mrs.
C. T. Cornwall,as we learn, for the beautiful
floral decorations.
At the Hall, soon as the vast concourse
was seated, Dr. A. Hill conimcnccd the ex-
ercises by offering amost fervent and im-
pressive prayer. The Band then gave a dc-
lightful overture, when for the benefit of
those not present at last year’s meeting, the
constitution and minutes of the doings at
that time were read. After this, Mr. A. H.
Byingtou,-in behalf of Mrs‘A. H. Wilcox-
son, widow of Lieut.-Col. Wilcoxson, pre-
sented a large and tastefully arranged bas-
ket Of flowers, in the center of which, in let-
tcrs formed of pure white flowers were the
words “ 17th C. v." This touching tribute
from one who had given her only earthly
stay and hope to the. country and whose
regard for the 17th had been cemented with
the precious blood of her patriotic husband,
started tears from many eyes unused to
weep. . ..
After this very interesting little incident,
the following letters and telegrams were
i
read from those whose presence had been
anticipated :—

My Dear Sirs :—I have the honor to
acknowlcd e the receipt of your letter of
yesterday, inviting me to be present on the
28th inst. with the 17th cht. Conn. Vols, to
celebrate their anniversary, at N orwalk, and
informing me “that the citizens ot‘Norwalk,
without distinction of party, propose ten-
derin to them a public reception in _ac-
know edgcment of their bravery and pat-riot-
ism in the service of the country.”
Nothing, I assure you, would afford me
greater satisfaction than to be present on
the occasion referred to. But as I have an
Official engagement to review the lst Re gt.
C. N. G. on that day, in Hartford, I do not
see how I can be allowed so great a pleas-
ure. I am, Sire, your obt. servt.

MY DEAR COLONEL:
I regret I shall not be able to be pres-
ent at the “re-union of the 17th Regt. Asso—
ciation” on the 28th inst. The nature of my
duties are such that I am deprived the prrvr-
lcgc of participating in any of the meetings
of the brave and patriotic men who acted so
nobly in our country’s dark days. Such re-
unions not only strengthen the tics of friend-
ship then formcd, but answer a. higher pur-
pose, that of perpetuating a love and rever-
ence fbr our country and the principles of
free government.
Please extend to the members of your As-
sociation my best wishes. With kind wish-
cs to yourself, ' ~
I am yours, truly,
A. AMES.

thoughtful invitation to be present at the

here and do not know that I shall be able to

stated, I will avail myself of your invitation.
‘ Yours, respectfully,

DR. A. HILL:
Dear Sir :—Sincc I wrote to you in
response to your very kind invitation to act
as a chaplain on the 28th inst, I have re-
ccivc a very pressing invitation to go with
the “Grampus Club” on their annuul trip to
the “Eastwar .” , Thinking you— would
readily excuse me, I have promised to go,
and shall, thus, lose the pleasure I had an-
ticipated in the re-union of the 17th C, V.
It was the choice between the pleasure of a
day and the relaxation ofa week, andI trust
you will not censure me for the choice.

After the reading of the above letters, the
tardy Chaplains were cspied in the body
Of the house and were forthwith summoned
to the stage. Chaplain Hall then gave a
most interesting and truly eloquent address,
happily mingling pathos and humor to the
apparent delight of all listeners.
ing tribute to 0 memory of the lamented
'Fowlcr, was touchingly pathetic and beauti-
ful. He was followed by “Fighting Chap-
lain,” H. Clay Trumbull, who made a most
excellent and telling address.
The Corn. appointed to nominate officers
ofthc Association for the year ensuing here
returned, and made their report, which re-
unauimously as follows :—
Prcsideut, Lieut.-Col. Henry Allen.

Treasurer.—Licut. Albert 'W. Peck.

Dr. Asa Hill was introduced and made a
short speech of welcome, after which the
German Sacnger Club treated the assembly
to a taste of their delightful vocal music.
The dinner not being quite ready, music
from the band and desultory remarks from
two local: filled the measure, when the ex-
ercises at Lockwood’s Hall. were closed by
the singing of Doxology accompanied by
the band.
From Lockwood’s, the line rc-formed and
maréhed to Norwalk Hall, where dinner
had been p'repared for 600 persons, by “mine
host” Scarles, of- thc Norwalk Hotel. The
tables were profusely decorated with flow’
ers, and the collation all that the most fas-
tidious could wish. At the head of the hall
a very large and magnificent flag was
stretched over the stage, while across the
center the word “Welcome” arrested the at-
tention of all. Here the boys in blue, with
their wives and ladies, ate and drank their
fill, and all went merry as a marriage bell.
The absence of Gen. Noble, the old com-
mander of the regiment, was remarked, and
regretted; but all in all, a. more enjoyable
time has not been experienced at the re-
union of any Connecticut regiment. "Our
citizens, Dcinocratis as well as Republicans,
all seemed to vie with each other in their
efforts to secure for the soldiers a genuine
“good time,” and that they had it, is the
voluntary testimony of them all. ‘
After the dinner many returned to Lock-
wood’s Hall with their ladies and removing
the chairs, spent the remainder of the day
iii “tripping the light fantastic toe.” Others
strolled about the streets, and 'still others
took carriages and rode about the most at-
tractive portions of our beautiful town. .-
Among the persons attending from a dis-
tance we noticed Capt. George H. Picrcc,
5th R. I. Artillery, and Capt. H. R. Baker,
-of Providence, R. I., and many others whose
names we did not learn.
We know that the boys have left us with
pleasant recollections of the citizens’ Re-
ception at Norwalk. May their next year’s
rc-union be as delightful to receivers and re-
ceived.
We must not forget to mention the kind-
ness of our Stamford friends in loaning the
flags used in the decoration of the Halls.

during the late war. The fine large flag
used in the room dining was the property

We cannot close our report of the day’s
proceedings without especially mentioning
the entire good feeling with which promi-
uent democrats took part in the reception.
Indeed, owing to the absence of large num-
bers of influential Republicans from town
and the conspicous indiffencc of others in
town, the lead of the whole Reception was
assumed by our democratic friends, and we
frankly and gratefully acknowledge and ex-
tend thc credit which is so justly their due.
Neither can we close without cxpreSsing
our thanks as well as surprise that among
all the cxcitcments of the occasion no single
member of the 17th misbehaved himself by
any riotous or noisy proceedings during all
the day. This is the more remarkable from
the fact that at any corner were to be found
some bar or drinking hole wlicrcthc enemy,
which always steals away a man’s brains,
wiis temptingly displayed.
Benefit Concert and Hop.
As will be seen by adv. a complimentary
Concert and Hop is to be given at Ely’s
Hall, next Friday evening for the benefit of
Mr. C. Marvin Gruman, jewellcr, South Nor-
walk, who recently lost his all of earthly
goods by burglarly. It is hoped that all
who sympathize with him in his loss, will
purchase tickets even though they may be
personally unable to attend, and that thus a
sum may be obtained sufficient to enable
him to start business again. ‘
Base Dali Tournament.
Arrangements are being perfected for hold-
ing a grand tournament in this town during
Fair week. Our citizens have taken hold
of the affair in a liberal manner, and there is
no doubt of its success. See adv. for partic-

WW0 understand that some little disap-
pointment was expressed that the local
clergy were not specially invited to take
part in the exercises appertaining to the re-
ccption of our 17th boys. We know. it was
a matter of surprise and disappointment to
us that none were present. Dr. Hill and
Levi Warner, Esq.,wlio the Committee spec-

ing invitations can no doubt explain the
omission or accident, or whatever it might
be. 0f one thing there can be no cavil. It
was all the Citizens of Norwalk, who extended
the invitation, and this Ive were innocent
enough to interpret as meaning Clergy, Doc-
tors, Lawyers and even Editors.

“ For about the forty-ninth, or fiftieth time,

He published his theories in these columns

the author, while he did so that the scheme
was so wild every-body would pronounce

Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
UNION HOTEL, }
August 25th, 1868.
GENERAL NEws—A FEARFUL EPIDEMIC IN
PROGRESS—VISITORS LEAVING.
“ The season” at this great watering place
is drawing to a close. Friday night the
whirl of dissipation culminated in the most
elegant ball which has taken place here for
litany years and the grand .hall of the
“Union” blazed with the splendor of the
land. Several ladies and gentlemen well-
known in your sea-shore town joined in the
festivities and added not a little to the ele-
gance of the occasion. It was a thorough
revival of those former times when Sarato-
ga stood first and foremost among our wa-
tering places, the “Baden-Baden” of Ameri-
ca.
A strange disease has reached the height
of its progress here ; it appears only among
the female portion of the community, it at-
tacks the vertebral column and seems to
have the double effect of a back-ache and
an attack ofchollic. The most learned phy-
sicians have pronounced it “Incline Greece,”
buthclicvc the vulgar term it “Grecian
Bend." I have seen several who have been
attacked severely but the only effect it had
on them was to kink their hair so tightly
that they could’nt‘kcep it out of their eyes
and a certain weakness of the extensor mus-
cles of the bands which caused them .to
“1'00!J in languid uselessncss. The modern
Saratoga girl is a paradox, her make-up is
truly wonderful, and her get-up is very
late. She dances, say, till 2 a. m.,evcry
day of her sojourn; goes to this spring or
that about 9 a. m., and wonders why she
feels so “extremely dull” she charges it all
to that poor abused individual “the clerk of
the weather.” Certainly, it must be the
weather, nothing else would have efl'ected
her so, for perhaps she has only taken fif-
tccu mint juleps the night before and
danced seventeen times. That is moderation
you know and would‘nt hurt anybody—four
or five quarts of congress water per day
will speedily. overcome it, if it dout she
must go to the sea-shore,—-Newport, Long
Branch or some other secluded retreat.
'When. we come to the matter of dress, in-
eluding the paraphernalia of ornamentation,
Imust stop. I am not an initiated critic,
although I did step on a lady’s trail last
night and she looked at me until I thought,
a torch-light procession was going through
me. Silk, tarlatan and coiffure are beyond
my comprehension, but some here are so
skilled in the art that they can carry about a.
whole dry goods shop with perfect ease.
To-day I visited the,“whitc sulphur spring,”
which was only discovered in July last; the
water is not strongly tinctured but sufficient-
ly so to give some of them a taste of what
they have got to come to. Within a stone’s
throw of the “Sulphur Spring” is the “Euro-
ka” the waters of which are cool and deli—
cious, containing no sulphur but in its
stead a strong solutiouaf 'iron. These
springs are both situated about one mile and
a. quarter from the hotels and one quarter-
of a mile beyond the “Excelsior.”
Last night Congress Hall was all gaiety
with its regular season ball, the attendance
was, of course, large and elegant. To-night
the Clarendon gives its ball also, so you
sée there is no'lack of enjoyment for the
poor, unfortunate, sickly mortals who come
here to derive health from these gileadic wa-
ters.
Politics is not here forgotten, for to-mor-
row there is to be a grand Grant and Colfax
pic-nic at the lake with Gen. Dan. Sickles-
and Horace Greeley as the leading spirits.

TIIE NURSERY GER—Some months since
we recorded the grautlug of a patent to
Mrs. F. H. Carrier, of Bridgeport. This is
thought to be the first patent ever granted
to a woman. Of course women are not
without inventive genius, and undoubtedly
have often made useful articles which they
have never thought of patenting. In this
this case, we are told, the lady had no
thought of distinguishing herself, or of ma-
king hcr fortune by inventing a salable arti-
cle, but simply had one constructed for her
own convenience in the nursery. After it
was made it proved so desirable for all
mothers, tnat her friends induced her to, take
out a patent, and give the simple invention
to the world. This 0 did, and they are
now manufactured in ‘largc numbers for the
benefit of all who desire them. The article
in question is a Simple iron stand, with a
rim on top in which fits a wash basin ; be-
low, by a simple contrivancc, six arms are
extended horizontally around the basin at a
suitable distance below, on which to hang
clothing, or can be folded if desired. still
lower down are three pouches for soap, pow
dcr, etc., and the whole article is designed
for convenience in washing children, and is
called “The Nursery Gem.” Three styles are
made, painted in imitation of all kinds of
wood, and in bronze and colors, and all sell
for from $5 to $8 each. They are very neat-
ly made and occupy but little space. Mr.
E. A, Curtis of this plrcc is Agent for their
sale, and we bespeak for him the attention
of mothers to this useful little article.

This great remedy is too Well known and is per-

“I have been troubled from my boyhood with clironic
or hereditary lung complaint. Some years since early
in the winter, I look cold, which as usual settled in-
to a severe cough, which continued to increase as the
season advanced, although I made use of all the
cough remedies I had knowledge of. My family phy-
sician also prescribed for me, but I experienced no rc-
lief. During all this time I was gradually running
down, losing flesh and strength, until my friends as
well as myself became very much alarmed. thinking I
should waste away in Consumption. While in Bus-
tou, durinn the sprint, following, I was induced to try
WiS'rAu's ALSAM Oi-‘WVILD CHERRY. After one day’s
trial I was sensible that it was relieving me; in ten
day’s time my cough had entirely ceased and I was
soon restored to health and strength. Ihavc ever
since kept the BALSAM in my house, and whenever
guy member of my family has a cough or cold, it is
