lioncyweIL, LBarIely" ,one' dayie', notice was given to
those who Were expected to furnish Wreaths, crosses.
and boquets. yet at the .time appointed fer the deco-
ration, forty-five pieces Were presented by this Indies,
rs memorials -to the patriot dead. Mrs. Alexander
and Miss Emma Law, with Mrs. Edson- and Miss Car-
rie Bradley‘fonned. themselves into a iioral party: and
the result was fifteen beautiful pieces, their gardens
yielded generously to the need, and, in the present
dearth of flowers, these gifts were most welcome.

Two large cresses and twolarge wreaths, presented
by Mrs. B'aldfin 'and Mrs. Button were artich and
life“? And so to the and came the garden and wild
flowers from Willing, and sometimes trembling, hands
'of those whose thoughts we re busy with remem-
bran'ces of loved ones buried or unburied, He who
knoweth all things, only knows where.

The decorating party finding themselves deficient
in conveyances, confidently applied to MBA; Law

for his bays and fine three seated open wagon, and
obtained them promptly. These are evidences that
the dead boys 111 blue are not uncured for. Flowers
were received from the unsteady hands of-onelady
w hose gathering tears told that the images of two
soldier sons buried somewhere along the Mississippi,
were 'n her' mind. - _

The party,” mostly once the comrades of these
v. hose graves were the object of this annual visit, left
the place of meeting at 2 o’clock, p. m., and returned
at 6 o'Clock, Itray'eling about 12 miles to the various
resting placed: .

Mr. A. 00111 made a brief and appropriate address
at the cemetery, the decorating party and spectators
gathering round crude cross; on which was inscribed
‘ Totlosewho sleep w‘h'ero: 'the'y'. Talk" sun which
was decanted: With a profusion of flowers.

As we care for the soldier dead, let us look to the
needs of his widow, Isnd orphan. . ' . B.

WEsTPOIRT.
Another illustration Of the regard in which railro’d
. so unfortunate as to
be their patrons, a'ndthc insulting, overbearing spir-
it' in which busineis is omen transacted by officials,
occurred on the N. Y. A: N. H. Railroad on Monday of
last week. Mr, B. W. Maples, a commuter for nearly
ten years. took a seat in an afternoon train intending
to return to his home in Westport. When the con-
duclor called for tickets Mr. M. was unable to find his
pocket-book, and concluded he had lost it. But, as
it was well-known to many in the car, and by the con-

 

 

. ductor in particular, that he had a commutation ex-

tending to Dec. star, for which he had paid in ad-
vance, that fact would seem to be sufficient to entitle
him to a ride to the end of his' Journey, even if the'
ticket could not be exhibited. Not so. The inval-
ndrsbie individual inblue demanded a sight of the
pasteboard itself; and on a failure to show it, added
that he “ must pay his fare" or be ejected. Without
ticket or money, Mr. M., conscious of his rights, re-
fused to pay or to leave, whereupon the train was
stopped, brakemen called in, and he carried forcibly
out, 'ticpbsited on the ground and left to get home as
best he could. By hock or crook he reached the city
and on rhe following day the story was presented to
eminentcounsel. A suit for damages will bebrought.
We are informed that Judge Whiting of New York,
assisted by Curtis Thomson of Bridgeport, will take
the case in hand and see that the rights of the people
are protected.

The petition of Theodore Werner and 60 others for

ment in Jail for about five months. ,. -

Mr. Edward H. Nash is preparing to a build Saw
Hill 100 feet long, near his Grist-Min,- Extraordina-
ry efi'orts are being put forth to hasten the work.
Mr 1! expects to apply the water from the dam of the
old mill as amotive power-for the new. and is luxu-
rlating in the notion that'he can use by right, and in
perfect safety, thatprivilege. We fear the old adage
maybe again verified—“There is many a slip twist
_thc cup and lip." But this is .disparagement, and
may. retard the march of improvement in our direc-
tion. The work can proceed, if we are allowed to
ask the following question. “What does a man with
an income of 810,000. want with a Saw-Mill.

route between Norwalk Bridge and Winni-
'pauk, m’aking three trips each way, running
on Saturdays only. A crowd of passengers
availed themselves of the accommodation on
Saturday last, and we have no doubt that the
prOprietor would be amply remunerated by
making trips every evening. Eventually we
must have horse cars on that line.

New York Circus.

This establishment, which' 1s to exhibit in
Norwalk on Thursday, presents many new
attractions the present season, introducing
numerous artists who have joined the com-
pany since it'was last here Indeed, the
management apnounce that nearly all the
acts will be different from those given last
year, and that the performances, which have
always been of a most satisfactory charac-
ter, Will be more brilliant and diversified
than ever before. The reputation which

‘this Circus has acquired for the good taste

and refinement displayed in'its' entertain-
ments always has its effect upon the charac-
ter of theaudience drawn out to its per-
formances, and has called forth the favors:
ble comment of the press in all directions.
The afternoon exhibition, given for the ac-
commodation of ladies and juveniles, will
be equally attractive with that given at
night. ' Tickets may be procured in advance

at Sclleck’s b001,: store.

@The old steamer “ Norwalk,” bililt

_ years ago for this route; and iwhich has un-
' dergone many changes and survived many
disasters, was runinto and sank in New ,

York harbor, On Tuesday last. She Will
probably be raised and repaired, however,
and continue running for years. A reporter
Of the New York Daily Times chronicles the
accident in the following grandiloquent
terms: —

“ She was proceeding serenely up the river.
Wlth full sails spread before the breeze, she
was steaming on her course, and was nearly
opposite Fulton Ferry, when a scow, heavily
loaded with mud, and propelled by a steam
tug, suddenly emerged _and bore with ter-
rific velocity toward the steamer. The scow
was s ponderous and heavily-boll t vessel,
with square corners massively bound with
iron, and the violent contact of one of these
corners, had the effect of staving an im-
mense hole' in tile side of the steamer. The
fracture being of such huge proportions
afforded an easy influx for an enormous vol3
ume of water. For a few minutes she
seemed to. battle spasmodicallv with the
cumbrous load which oppressed her, but

_ becoming more and more depressed, with a

sudden plungc,bow first, she performed a
complete; common, and the Waters closed
over her.”

CHARLES M. ROGERS,'whoso mysterious

killed by on explosion, insured for [$10,000—paid four
