than the father of a fhmily obligates himself
to his first born, that no inture children shall

v- the, fact has been demonstrated by the prac-'

competing lines of railroad have augmented

The spirit and feeling manifested at the
public meeting held at Ely’s Hall last Friday
evening were ‘encouragingly ' indicative Ofl
some tangible results. The address 'of Judge
Butler Clearly set forth the necessities for a
new cemetery,—one more in harmony with
thepmgressive spirit of the times than any
we now have. The desire seemed also to
be, that South Norwalk and the rest of the
town should unite in one'common enterprise
which in magnitude should be sufficient 'for
the present and even futureneeds of the en-
tire town. The following gentlemen were
appointed a committee to further act in the
matter, examine locations, confer with a

will hornet by a cordial spirit of cooperation
here at the Bridge. We earnestly hope and
confidently believe we. are now in a fair way
to have something worthy of N orwalk. We
should have some plot of at least five hun-

ures of a cemetery and Park may be com-
bined, and by its» magnitude alone be ren-'

Q‘Tha Legislature 'of our little State is
afflicted—this ear with the most formidable.
lobby which. as ever infested either of our
State Houses. It has been formed for the
purpose of assisting or of defeating certain
railroad rojects, and .the influences which
it Will bring to bear on our law-makers will
be of the most powerful kind. It is to be
hoped, however, that the members of the
present Legislature are abOve suspicion, and
will act as they believe for the benefit of the
whole State. The majority of the tax-pay-
ers of the State desire,‘and the State requires
a General Railroad law. Such ~ a law will
do away with the necessity of special legis-
lation and will revent our State becoming
_a second New ersey. Should the Legisla-
ture refuse to at this, the majority of the
ople will he love they do so because they"
ave been unduly influenwd by the lobby.

EDEN WmNEr—none knew him but to

Mr. Whitney was born in the town of
Wilton 1788, six' days prior to the evacua-
tion of New York by the British. At the
age of ten he was sent to Grandfather Whit-
ney's, at Silver Mine, to tend , Grist Mill-
Thc Town Records state that his great
grandfather built the first Mill in Norwalk,
where Prowitt's Drug Store now atands,and
for this the town conferred upon him a
large tract of land, bordering on the river.
In 1708 be commenced the Watch Repair-
ing and'Jewclry business in the city of New
. York, which he continued 43 years, estab-
lishing a reputation for honesty Unexam-
pled in that line of business, as he was coni-
monly called the “honest watchmaker.”
In1841 health failing, he sold out to his
partner Seymour Hoyt, and removed to
Norwalk. Here he has lived with us 22
years;how he has .lived all know whose

MI’LTaylorlwho represents the 11th District
in the Senate, is very anxious to have the
State pay his postage, and on Tuesday intro-
duced a resolution instructing the clerk to
furnish postage stamps. He said the State
ought not to be mean or niggardly in such
matters. Other Senators thought they
couldn’t afford to be mean themselves and so
voted it down. Say! Mr. Taylor; the State
didn’t promise to throw in postage stamps in
addition to your pay. Which is meanest,
for you to vgrab far them, or for the state to
refuse? hut queer ideas some people
have about meanness.-Ha/r#‘ord Post.
We think the Post does Senator Taylor an
unintentional injustice. Knowing that it
had been the custom for the Clerk to supply
the Senate with stamps for mailing the
State Reports and Legislative Documents,
he introduced his resolution for a continu-
ance of the custom, which however, we are
glad to perceive our Senators are this year
willing to abandon. '

—We have repeatedly urged on the atten-
tion of Waterbury ca'pitlarsts theldesirability
of securing the removal to this city ,of the
Allerton Iron Works, Manufacturers of the
best steam fire engine now in use. We be-
lieve it requires but little inducement to
high y profitable business. The engine has
overcome every obstacle and; made for itself
a reputation second to none, and its suc-
tors in N augatuck it is about'to move, 'and.
will go of- course where the greatest induce-
ments are offered. We believe the, gentle-
men connected with the com any would
prefer this city, and their chorcc will un
doubtedly be either here or somewhere on
the line of the N. Y. J; N. H. railroad al-
though they have received the most flatter-
must be made very soon. To-day‘ the lead-
ing- business men ofNorwalk hold a meeting
to endeavor to draw it to that place and wi
undoubtedly present strong arguments for
that purpose. If Waterbu would secure
this enterprise and make th city as famous
for its fire engines as for. its buttons, action
must be taken immediately. We hope the
.matter may not be allowed to drop.
There is another view of the subject which
is worth cousideringwiz : the presence of
one of their engines at a fire might be the
means of savin property worthmany times
invested in the , usiness,such has repeatedly
been the case elsewhere. . , '

to affix such conditions to the bill, that the

CONNECTICUT WESTERN Rumour—The
Springfield Republican says of the Connect-
icut Western roadz—The important new
road to the Hudson river and thence by di-
rect connection with the Erie to the coal
fields-of Pennsylvania and the grain fields
of the West, is probably the most important
railway enterprise, especially to Connecticut
and central Massachusetts, since the West-
ern railroad connected us with Albany. In
fact,’so far as coal is concerned, it is much
more important, while it is equally so for
western freight. The road will come at least
as far directlyueast as New Hartford, and
possibly Fail-field, and it is hoped that our
citizens who have charge of the proposed
branch to Springfield, will be careful. to
make such a direction as to meet this line
either at Fuirficld or New Hartford.

To the Editors of the Norwalk Gazette. '
DEAR SIR:
We have no doubt that you had a very
pleasant drive-when you lately visited our
locality and you wrote us up' beautifully,
and on that account you are, unwittingly
helping to get us in a dreadful muddle by
altering the name of our address calling it
“ Grant Ville.” It may seem a small matter,
at first, but our correspondence is large and
our Post Office is doing an increasing busi-
hess. ‘ .
Strangers are puzzled to know our proper
address. Now, Messrs. Editors, we would
hereby inform you, and all others, that our‘
LOCALITY and. PosT omen address is Ro-
WAYTON; so called and recorded 200 years
ago, and verified by the People three years
since; adopted by the Post Office Dcpartm’t
. over one year ;, and published in all our new
maps, and man HAS BEEN ALTERED.
The public believe what they read in your
excellent Gazette, so don’t call us out of'our
_name. ‘ THE'PEQPLE or ROWAYTON.

“NIGHT Saunas IN Trus Bram,” is the title
of a new book from the press of Zcigler, Mc-
Curdy & 00., Philadelphia, edited by Rev.
‘ Daniel March, D. D. It contains about 800
,octavo pages, handsomely printed on rose-
tinted paper, and illustrated with numerous
steel engravings. Many of the most affect-
ing and most important scenes described» in
the Bible, transpired under the splendors of
oriental night. The author has followed the
shadow of night across thedandscape of di-
yine revelation, and grouped together the
sacred scenes which are made awful or'im-
pressive by the mantle of darkness. He has
succeeded in bringing. to light “new and
A beautiful gems from the mine of‘bible
truth." and has produced a delightful vol-
ume. The leading Clergymen of the country
have given their most’cor‘dial apprOval. The
work is sold'by subscription, and an Agent
is now in town canvassing for subscribers,
and will give all desiring an opportunity to
personally. examine the Book.

The accompanying cut
represents the Screw Fork
newly atented, and is
now so owlcdged to be
the only perfect Horse
Fork in use, and istakillg
the place of the others.
Although there have up.
pcared before the public,
numerous kinds of imple-
ments for unloading hay,
yet none of them have
mlly‘satisfied the public
want. They have been
either too hen and un-

ed with delicate sprinas -
and otherwise so comp i-
catcd as to be always is-
ble to get out of repair.
The Screw Fork involves
anew principle which is
concededitosbc the correct
one, and has proved itself
to be the true principle for
handling hay. '
let—It is light to handle
and compact ’in its ar-
ran cment. - '
2 —It has no ra yeti
fines or clumsy hand to
catch in the beam, window
sill or post.
3d—It delivers its load as it takes it from the wag-
on, without doubling the ha , thus leavingit in a good
shape to be further handled y hand.
4th—In consequence of its peculiar grip in the hay,
it scatters very little from the wagon.
. bib—It turns shelf into the Mach” its own weig
and unloads itself instantly, at t desired point, a
is 0 rated more easily than any other fork.
6t —It has no springs or delicate appendage to get
out of order. Every part being strong and substan-
tial, and no point exposed to wear. »
’llh—It is‘ durable—made of the best cast steel and
warranted neither to break or bend. -
I have also in connection with the fork (the sale of
which I control exciueievly), a very excellent GRAP-
I’LE and PULLY combined, which can be placed up-
on an beam or rafter in the barn without the use of
a lad er, by means of 'a hook and pole, thus enabling

PROTECTION

HOME INDUSTRY.
TheNEW YORK TRIBUNE will commence, on
or about June 1st, the-publication in weekly chap-
ters of a treatise by its Editor on POLITICAL‘ECONO-
nil, designed more especially to elucidate and defend
expects to bring the work within the compass of
twenty to twenty~five chapters of three or four col-
umns each, and to treat the subjcct with such sim-
plicity and directness that few men can read the es-
says without at least realizing that the Protective
‘ policy is either grossly misunderstood or deliberately
misrepresented by the champions of Free Trade.
The publicshall, at all events, realize that we, who
stand for Protection, habituallyresd and try to com-
prehend our adversaries, while they ignore our wri-
tings and grossly caricature our arguments.
These essays will ultimately be printed together;
but, in view'of the desperate efforts of the Free Tra-
ders\to forestall opinion and try -to wrest a verdict
from a public which has not heard the case argued,
we ask the friends of Protection to aid us in giving
these, as they originally fall from the press, a gener-
O
and in the interests of foreign manufacturers, is in-
boring assiduously through newspapers which it con-
trols, and by the distribution of tracts and pamphlets
to destroy the Tarifi' and surrender our markets to the
importers of foreign manufactured goods. Their ef-
forts {can ghee; be counteracted by the disswina-
tion of journals intelligently and continuously devo-
ted to the protection of American labor and the foe-
tering of American interests.
We shall print more their Two Hundred Thousand
of each in our regular editions; but we hope they
will receive still wider dissemination through the
formation ofnew clubs, (which we supply at a frac-
tion Over the cast of white paper) for Tun Wssxnr
TRIBUNE. .
'We believe that it will be for the interest of every
establishment in the country, of whatever nature, to
.see to it that each workman is supplied with Tim.
Turner's}: during the coming your. The question of
Protection to Home Industry is soon to be all ab-
. sorbing, and it is of the utmost importance that eve-
ry voter shall be well informed on the subject.

must transmit their orders by the 1st of J line.
