for the expenditure of enormous sums of
money, and the employment of half the

and members, their conspiracy would fail to
defeat the wishes and claims of ' those_ who

perhaps, natural, and if only conducted
openly and above board, the people have
nothing to fear from the struggle. Freedom

Cnxrnn SCHOOL Drsrmer.+The school
meeting on Tuesday evening last, was fairly
attended, and resulted in the passage of a’
vote to enlarge the building by an. addition
to the south side, carrying the whole up an-
other sttiry and ‘changing it: fl‘ont 0f the
building to Main street,—l e enlargement to
cost not more than‘twelve lhousund dollars.
A ten thousand dollar tax was laid to meet
these expenses.- Another.meeting is called
{or Wednesday evening to reduce the tax, :xp-
point'acommittec to designate boundaries
of the District, &c. It seems to us that
common justice and fairness requires a rad-
ical change in the boundaries of this district,
especially on the eastern side. As' it. now is,
people living near the school house enjoy
all the benefits to be derived from the school,
and pay taxes in a small district where only
'one teacher is ever employed. They should
pay taxes where their children are educated,
or their children should be educated where
they pay their taxes.“

, The New York Legislature has passed
the Bill amending the Charter of the New
York and Portchester Railroad, so that no
impediment stands in the way of its imme-
diate construction. We notice that one
provision in their charter permits them to
form, unite or form. a connection with (my
other read than the New] York and New
lInven.~ We presume this is to save it from
the insatislc maw of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
who, by compelling .the New Haven road
to enter the city by his Harlem track, has
an completely crippled that corporation
during its entire existence. If our present
Legislature should charter thc'Dcrby and
State line, as a great majority of our people
dcsire,"therc will be two good railroads out'
of New York into Connecticut, in running
order, within the next two years. This
second road will open up a. 'new section and
create a support for itself, just as its older
competitor has. done. We cannot believe
our present Legislature is going to vote to
prevent five millions of dollars to be brought
into Connecticut and. expended, during the
next two years, with the certain result of
increased population, increased value of
real estate, multiplied business interests,
and o‘conccded general prosperity.

'Norwalk indulged-in a new sensation on.
Friday. Mr. John CfStcvens, superintend-
ent of the “ Allcrton 'Iron Works Manu-
facturing Company," of Naugatuck, CL, ap-
peared among us with one of the new steam
fire-engines, in the manufacture of which his
company has become 'so justly celebrated.
The machine was a most beautiful piece of
mechanism to look upon, and, when drawn
through our streets with Six horses, young
America and old America was all ‘agog, for
the like of it'-liad neverbccn seen here be-
fore. A knowledge of our imperative ne-
ccssitics on the part. of Mr. Stevens un-
‘doubtedly led to this pleasant and unex-
pected visitation. -
On the machine’s arrival at the Bridge,
arrangements were. at once made to set it
to work. Steam was got up in MIL- minutes
by the watch, and this: while the truck was
~stnti0nary. 1n motion, the fire draft would
be greatly intensified, and the steam gene-
rated in a considerably shorter time. Our
own engine hose was found too weak to
stand the pressure of the stream thrown out
even before fully fired up. Their own trial
hose were then attached, and a large, solid
stream of water thrown to the distanCe of
over two hundred feet, while the total dis-
tance of its furthest jets were two hundred
and sixty-five feet from the engine. This
simple, impromptu trial establishes, beyond
controversy, the enormous power of these
machines. Their extreme simplicity of con-
struction, too, must have arrested the at-
tion of every one with the least bit of mech-
anism in his eye. > ,
One ' speciality of these machines is their
adaptation to the use of salt water. This
feature has secured them an adoption by
the Metropolitan Fire Board of New York
city. Six of them have already been or-
deredtherc, four having been in use there
for a considerable time. -
< After the demonstration of its powers‘at
the Bridge, it was then taken to South Nor-
wall:, and placed upon the dock in the rear
of the Mrssrs. Brownell‘s store, preparatory
to another and a salt water trial. Here it
was found necessary to run out its entire
capacity. of suction pipe, as the tide was
nearly at dead low water. The perpendicu-
lar lift of the water out of the dock was
some sixteen feet ;. yet in a very fen’min-
utes the machine was lifting and throwing a
stream of this salt water as large as a man’s
arm to a distance of nearly two hundred
feet! The case and slcadiuess with which
this ponderous labor was performed by the
little embodiment- of valves, cranks, cogs
:uid’ pistons, were truly marvelous. It
seemed almost incomprehensible that .so
much hidden power could be pent up within
so few square inches of superficial space.
And yet, in the triumphs of the Yankee in-
ventive genius, wonders will never cease.
All sorts of tests-were here made, such as
forcing the stream against the winds toa
perpendicular height, etc. '
These two exhibitions were witnessed by
large numbers of our citizens, and we pro-
sumo that the one final conviction pressed
itself upon every beholder, that 17qu was just
what zce need, and just what, sooner or later,
we mus.‘ hate in Norwalk! Hundreds of
‘ dollars of property was destroyed at our last
fire, because of the utterhinabilily to get
.mcn to man the hand-engine brakes and
continue their labOrs thereon. Something
over sixty dollars were! paid to men for this
service; and yet, at a dollar an hour, not
enough men could be kept at the machines
to keep them in constant play. . The times
have changed, and men have changed with
the times. Hand labor of the severe sort,
which had no terrors for the generations
past, appnls the “ man of the period,” and
steam must now supply the lack of manly
muscle. The old hand-engine, like the old
ramage printing press, is an obsolete insti-
tution; lhc “ age we live in" demands
steam power ahd the highest development
of mechanical appliances_to serve its pur:
poses and needs—ergo, the steam fire en-
gine is an established institution and an
imperious necessity of our times. We have
written more at length concerning this mat-
ter than is our custom, because of the grav-
ity of our necessities here in Norwalk, and
especially at South N orwalk. We append
below what the proprietors assert for them-
selves, in their own circulars, and can only
say that the exhibition here fully'vindieated
their claims : _
. “ Our steam firc engines are the most
simple in construction of any in use, and
less liable to get out of order. They are
easily operated by a mechanic of the most
ordinary ability. When the engine is work-
ing at full speed there is scarcely. any vi-
bration perceptible. The wheels do not re-
quire blocking, or the engine to be ‘ jacked’
ofi‘ the spring. It is not necessary to carry
more than fifty lbs. of steam, .or to run'thc
engine at so high a rate of speed as ordinary
steam fire engines. The pump is of very
simple construction. The valves are so ar-
rgnged that they cannotbe choked or affected
York, for delivery of packages, running. of Ab)’ WO'I‘KME’IDUGUY -or~ . swig,
‘ warrant our engines superior to any in use,
and to give entire satisfaction or no sale.
We are readyat a 3' time to test our en-
gines with those of any other build. Our
first class engine weighs 6,500 lbs., and is
fitted for four streams; our second class
5,500 lbs., and is also fitted for four streams;
our third 3,500 lbs., fitted for two streams.
All our engines are fitted to be drawn by
horses or hand, as may be‘ desired. Scat
for driver, water—tanks, and any other/fix-
tures put on that may be required. Steam
'can be generated from cold water in five
minutes. Our first-class engines have two
steam cylinders, 9% inch bore by 10 inch
stroke, Working horizontally two pump
cylinder, 7 inch plunger, 10 inch stroke. Our
second class engines have two steam cylin-
ders, 8 inch bore, 9 inch stroke, working
liorozontally two pump cylinders 4% inch
bore, 9 inch stroke. Our third class en-
gines have one steam cylinder, 8 inch bore,
9 inch stroke, workinghorizontally one
)ump cylinder, 4% inch bore, 9 inch stroke.
he first and second class engines are fitted
with single pumps when deemed. We fur.
nisli rubber or leather hose, with or without
couplings, as may be desired. We manu-
facture hose, carriages, tenders,. trucks, and
everything used by Fire Departments.”
In what-we have written above, we would
not encourage the folly of going into battle
with a glittering park of artillery without ii
spark of ammunition. While we need a
“steamer,” we first need a provision for an
adequate supply of water. The _lucky ad-
vent of this novelty has awakened a renew-
ed intcrest. in the question, “how are we to
be saved from devastating fires ‘2" Plainly
our duty is to immediately set to work for a
reliable supply of water both here and at
South Norwolk, and flicn'securc either one
or more steam tire engines. We are inclined
to the opinion that if the two sections of our
village should join in the purchase of one,
the town could fairly' and properly afford
the purchase of a second one, for the inci.
dental advantages it Would secure outside
and beyond our fire limits. The present
season ought not to pass without this addi-
tional security to the property and bu»
.sincss’ interests of Norwalk. It is a penny
wise and pound foolish economy that pOst-
panes these necessities. of the modern vil-
lagc settlements. Either by cisterns proper:
ly l‘ocated ; by reservoirs that may be top
pcd, on occasion; or better than all, by,
means of a proper and general introduction
of water throughout the two villages, must
this wont be at once supplied would we be
relieved from our present peril. It is true,
a. steamer would serve our needs better than
nothing and might in a single hour pay
double its 'cost in property saved, and in this
view very many of our property owners fa-
vor its immediate purchase. At certain sta-
ges of the tide and in certain locations 9. sup-
ply of water just as we are might be relied
upon. But for the full needs of the village,
\vatci- in greater abundance and certainty.
should be immediately provided for, and
perhaps it matters little whether the Steam-
cr be purchased before or afterwards, inas-
much as they are the conceded institution of

‘CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED. '
Wnnrnxn, Mass., Nov. 12, 1868.
My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died of consumption. My mother had a cancer; I was
taken with a bad cough which had affected me 13
months; 12 months after my cough commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, which rew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps n both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroy me first. I had suffered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprin" water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfectjy well for two months; no
con h or expectoratlon; no swelling in my breasts;
no yspepsia; no pain or suffering. Everywhere 1
am strong and able to perform all my duties. I took
mediclnes four months.
Thankfully yours.

«ow—.—
Schcnck’s Pulmonlc Syrup, '
Seaweeda‘onic and Mandrake Pills will cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and-Dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions. They are all three to be ta-
ken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach. rc-
lax the liver andput it to work; then the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis-.
eased matter ripens iii the lungs, and the patient ont-
grows the disease and gets well. This is the only
way to cure consumption.
’ 0 these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treat-
ment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic
Svt‘np rlpens the morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it off by an easy expeetoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it
off, and the patient has rest and the lungs begln to
col. .
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to clause the stomach and liver,
‘so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the food will make
good blood. ' .
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re-
moving all'obstmctions, relax the ducts of the gall
bladder, thebllb starts t‘reely,and the liver is soon re-
lieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do:
nothing has ever been . invented except calomel (a
withagrcat care,)that will unlock the gallbladder and,
start the secretions of the liver like Schenck’s Juan-
drake Pills. ’ , ' ' .
' Liver Complaint is One of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.‘
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
«Lei-native, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw
out the gastrlcjuice to dissolve the food with the Pul-
monlc Syrup, and it is made into good blood without
fermentation or eouringin theswmach. .
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
suni tion is. they try to do too much; they give med-
icine 0 stop the cough, to stop chills, to sto night
sweats,-hectic fever, and by so doing they orange
the whole it estlve powers, locking in the secretions
and eventna ythe atlent strike and fee.
f Dr, Schenck in It . treatment, does not try to stop
the cough night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will all stop oftheir own accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Ctitarrh, Canker, Ulccrated Throat, un-
less the liver and stomach are made healthy. .
If a person has consumption, of course the lungs in
some. way are diseased, either tubercles, abscesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura, adhesion, or the inn s
are amass of inflammation and fast deeayln . n
such cases What must be done. It is not only the an ‘s
that he wasting. but it is the whole, body. '1‘ e
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. N ow the only chance is to take
Dr. Schenck’s three medicines, which will bringnp a
tone to the stomach. the patient will be In to want
food, it will d vest casil and-make good load; then
the patient beg us to ga 11 in flesh, and as soon as the
body-begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the on y
we to cure consumption. ' -
When there is notungdisease and only Liver Com-
[slut and Dyspepsia, Scheuek's Seaweed Tonic and.
Mandrake Pills are sufficient, Without. thePulmouic
Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bil-
ions complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
