' We took by the hand on Saturday ev’cning
. a; gentleman g from Westport who came
‘ through from San Francisco vto‘-Jersy City,
in Pullman’s Palace Car, without change of
car or any delay whatever except of about
sixhours. We of the memorable nineteenth
century are so accustomed to marvelous
events that we are scarce impressed .with
thiswonderl’ul achievement of human genius
and energy; With what emotions will the
old ovci‘la'nd California pioneers, (among
whom were several from Norwalk) contem-
plate this miracleof'railroading. And’what
must be the view taken of this achievement
of the young American nation by the peo
ple of the old world ? Despite the exhaus-
tion and decimation of the- most gigantic
war of the werld’s history, this monster en-
terprise spanning the continent and wed-
ding the W0 great oceans with the iron
bands of commerce. Let us devoutly thank
God and take courage. With another At-‘
lantie .- cable throbbing with the pulsations of
human thought—a continuous line of wires
to the Pacific coast, and fleet steamers thence
to China, truly may we proclaim with
Shakspeare’s hero—~“ We will put a girdle
round the earth in twenty minutes." .

Ground hasbeen broken lbr the Harlem

New York. Mr. Joseph F. Hobby claims '
the honor of throwing up the first shovel of
dirt. A gang of men are vigorously at work
and a large force of laborers, at present fin—
ishing up another job, will be transferred to

work on this road. 'In another year trains
will be running from Port Chester to the
city, and inless than a year trains will run
from Derbyto New Haven. There will then'
be a gap of thirty-four miles Open, which it
is possible the Hon. Wm. D. Bishop may
keep open by purchase of the Connecticut
Legislature, but we don’t believe it. At all
events, if the people of our state see fit to
send men to the Assembly who will sell
themselves to this debauched and debauch-
ing monopoly, there is a clear and feasible
route into Massachusetts, via the Ridgefield
and Port Chester charter already granted.
ECLIPSE.—-The_ Sun—not Dana’s, “price
two cents”—I—Ibut the veritable old Sol him-
self is going on a fine frolic on Saturday the
7th inst. If the sky is clear and the dark-
ness as complete as it ought to be, the day
will be quite memorable. Extensive prep-
arations have been made in difi'erent parts
of our own and other countries to take sci-
entific observations of the phenomenon. One
party has gone up to Alaska, for the pur-
pose. ,We advise all sky gamers to have
their smoked glass in readiness. ’
The New" Park and Conesery Enter-
prise. '
.IItvis expected that a competent engineer
will survey the proposed plat of' the new
Cemetery , and Park on Wednesday and
Thursday next. The extent and most ad-
visable limits can then be determined upon.
Not only has nature. apparently specially
provided for such a .want, in the wild bro-
ken topograpby of the land, but singularly
enough, there are but three or four dwel-
lings upon - the entire section and these not
of material value. But the most encourag-
ing fact of the whole enterprise is the entire
and earnest unanimity with which the
project is seconded by our wide-awake and
go-ahead people.

W Many merchants in advertising their
wares, &c., to convey an idea of how ex-
tremely busy they are kept by a' constant
siream of trade, adopt the, to them sug-
gestive conceit of calling their places of
business a “Bee Hive.” But on Wednesday
last many of our stores were in reality Bee-
hives ; a strong colony of Honey Bees be!
came dispersed .near the bridge and they
soon took undisputed posession of the stores
adjacent thereto,—7 the large majority
of them evinced their rare good taste. for
sweet things’by stopping in at Frank Mead
85 Co.’s, (for the Ice Cream and Confection
ery,) and at Prowitt’s Drug Store, (evidently
' after their renoWned Soda.) They were a
I good deal or a nuisance to workers around
the Bridge for several days, however they
finally killed themselves off, and all 'was
once more'peace. ' " '
. WThe Fat men’s Clam-Bake is creating
a good deal of commotion now-a-days, and
bids fair to be better attended than last year,

go far ahead of the “big weight” of last year
and who expressed himself as one to be
counted in at this year’s gathering.

A most painful accident bcfel two cal-pen.
ters named Albert Converse and James
Crutellington, at work at the Baptist church
on Thursday last. The parties had loosened
the ceiling wall from beneath for the pur-

it to knock it off, when the entire wall frame
broke off and the two men were precipitated
some thirty feet to the floor of the church.

as Messrs. Fanton, Punter &'Davis, carpen-
ters,were»at work on the little cottage near
the Amphitheatre Bridge, they heard a re-
port of a rifle and then a bullet whiz by
their cars. In a few - moments another re-
port came and this time the bullet striking
the side of the house, but a few feet from the
head of Mr. Davis,and passing through and
tearing oil the wall and dropping upon the
floor. It turned out to'be two young lads
in the‘ Amphitheatre trying to shoot a turtle
but who succeeded in hitting a house. Such
carelessness in the use of firearms about the
village is very reprehensible.

We have before and' frequently referred "

wide avenue—not less than" a hundred feele—
along the cfést of Prospect Hill. “This would
soon rival Golden Hill in Bridgeport,in eve-

start from Riverside avenue at a point near-
ly opposite Catherine, street, and run thence
South-westerly along the‘ crest? of Prospect
Hill, in front of the new residence of Col.

cut Turnpike in a straight line to an inter-
section with the road fronting the residence
or Mr. Capes, and descending the hill down
by the residence of H. H. Elwell and the
Episcopakchapel, to South Norwalk. Along
the entire coast of New England, there is
not a ridge so charmingly overlooking the .
water on the one hand, and the surrounding
country on the other. .
As this ridge is of gravel subsoil, the Cost
of constructing such an avenue would be
but comparatively trifling, and the increase
in the value of adjoining lands, would more
than quadruple the present grand list. No
section of our entire town, would so tempt-
ingly invite the wealthier class of . New
Yorkers who are constantly on the look-out
for attractive villa sites. We deem it no ex-I
aggeration to say that with such an avenue
opened along this unrivaled ridge—one mil-
lion dollars in improvements, would deck
it in less than five years. Shall we have it?

crowd of ladies and gentlemen assembled
on "the wharf to wave lheil'TadieuIs and bid
as “ good speed.” After the customary vex-
atious delays the boat swung off from the_
dock about seven o’clock,w'ith colors flying,
drums beating, gun firing, cheers resound.
ing, and a lively time generally. But the
breeze .was light and mint us and distance
was a provokingly longtime in lending en-
chantment to our view of Norwalk. . Supper'
and devotions ever, we went on deck to find
Geese Island ahead, withmo wind to take
'us ' outside, and. reluctantly the Captain
dropped anchor to prevent the vessel drift-
ing back'into port. “ Tired nature’s sweet
rcstorer” 'made several desperate attempts
to. board our craft but was driven'ofii by the
enchanting music of the Goose Island war-
blers. - .
Wednesday Opened thick with hard rain
and light wind, and we beat up the Sound
“ making haste slowly.” At 4 p. m. we
reached New Haven audput in to consult a
physician about a member who had unfortu-
nately been taken sick. The club remained
aboard. At six o’clock a breeze sprung up,
and the vessel started for Gardincr’s Island,
the wind freshening into a gale; and we
commenced making up for lost time. At
twelve we went through Plum Gut “flying”
with wind and tide in our favor, and an-
chored on the cast'side of Gardiner’slsland.
. Thursday morning we tried. drop fishing
but with no luck, and then laid our course
for Montauk Point where we arrived at 10
o’clock. Here, the “first fish”-—a flounder—
was caughtby' one of Wilton’s worthy rep-
resentatives, Hon. Wm. D. Gregory, who re-
mained all that day alone in his glory. Time
was too, precious to Waste here, and’ our
course was laid for Nantucket with a strong
breeze and rather rough sea. At dinner
time there- were several vacancies at table.
We passed close by Block Island, and at 5
p. m., were OK Cuttyhunli, improving the
time by trying the “anchor watch” before
Judge Advocate Millard, for various misde-
meanors. He was found guilty, of course,
although he had the best of the argument,
and amused the club by his‘ performance of
the penalty. ' Passing Gay. Head and the
Elizabeth Islands, we arrived at Holmes’
Hole at dark, and' most of the club walked-
over to the Wesleyan Grove and spent the
evening; Here all were delighted. IAs a~
summer resort this is one of the most beau-
tiful places we have ever seen, and we would
advise; all 'who' can to visit it, either during
Camp Meeting week, or after. We would
like to give our readers .a detailed descrip
tion of this charming place, but time will
not permit. Go and see it yourselves. ‘
Friday, a. m., we sailed for Nantucket,
with a good breeze, and 'in. running over
the shoals Mr. T. Baker proudly landed on
deck the first bluefish. Soon after the Dr.
hauled in his four hundred feet of line only
to find a soda water bottle attached filled
with water fresh from the briny deep. The
(augh over this “sell",llad hardly ceased
.when ‘ the Commodore: called upon the
youngest memberrv-a chip of the old block, .-
—to-bringhim abettle of lemon soda from
the ice box; uncorking .it, With his charac-
teristic grace’anddignity he proposed a toast
to the Club, put the inverted bottle to his
mouth,threw his head back, and swallowed
a dose of the salt water the Dr. had just
landed. Willie .made fast time over the
deck for the next two minutes. At 9 a. m.,
we arrived at good old Nantucket, fired: a
salute, and played several lively airs. Skip-
started off on the shoals blue fishing, while
others wandered ashore to greet old friends
and enjoy the attractions of the city. At
night the fishing parties returned, one bring-
ing in- 18, another 6, another 2, and the last
86—63 ‘in all for the day. After supper the
band played in the square, and'ihe members
spent an enjoyable evening wandering
around the city.
Saturday morning several parties started
off for the fishing grounds. A party of six
“of which the Scribe was a member, engag-
ed a Nantucket omnibus with a span of
horses, and rode over to Siasconsett, a dis-
tance of seven miles. 'This is the Newport
of Nantucket, and has its old town and
new, the old composed of neat huts for the
families of fishermen, the new of cottages
for the families of rich. “ofi‘ islanders." With
'a'stroll on the beach, a game of croquet,

welcome us. '
Sunday a. m., the club attended the Bap-
tist church in uniform. In the ‘aflernoon
many of us listened to a very interesting
sermon in the Congregational church by
Rev. Mr. Angus, who reminded us forcibly
of Robert Collyer of Chicago. At six o’clock
a union meetingof the three churches was
held at the M. E. church when our chaplain,
Rev. Mr. Davies, preached the sermon—a
sermon with which the large congregation
seemed as well pleased as were the members
of the club. '. '

we ran into a thick fog, and were obliged to
anchor in Tarpaulin Cove and were forced
to remain there until 4 o’clock next day.

NUDER TWELVE.
A' use To xosnlur'rn.
Yosemite Valley is not only a wonder of
California but of the world. I have lately
returned from. a three weeks’ excursion to
this remarkable place, and in this and sub-
sequent letters will tell you a little about it_
Our company were six in number, all clergy-
men and with two exeiption's, graduates of
Williams College. One of the exceptions
was a year at Williams. 'We went prepared
to camp out. Four of our party- started to
gether from Hayward’s on the‘Bay. of San
Francisco, leaving at four o’clock on a Mon-
day afternoun with a pair of stout mules
drawing a two seated open wagon, well
loaded with provisions, cooking-tins and
blankets. Apleasant ride soon brought us
into Amador Valley where charming views
Opened Widely before us. Rounded, treelcss
hills surrounded a wide heath, Monte Diablo
rose in plain view at our left, and the flush
of early evening softened and beautified the
distant and the near with) its purple tints.-
While it was yet twilight we reached the
ranch of a friend, at whose table we supped
and breakfasted. We were unwilling to
Sleep in a house and he was 10th to have us
lie out without shelter, so we compromised
by accepting quarters in his hay loft. This
ranch afi‘orded a fair example of a large
California farm 'It comprisesllioo acres of
hich 1100'.are under cultivation mostly in
wheat and barley. Thirty hands, are em-
ployed in'the harvest which was about to‘
begin. Machinery, too, is largely used, and
facilitates theka to such an extent that
50 acres are harvestedin a day. - '
Morning found us' making our way
lbrough'the vast grain garden of
Lrvnmtonm VALLEY. I
The golden harvests covering thousands
of acres were nearly ripe for‘ the reapers.
In these productive farms we saw some of
the true mines ' of California, which, with,
proper care, will remain forlages exhaustless
sources of wealth, pouring out treasures
that the world needs more than gold and
silver. Entering the winding recesses of the
Livennore Pass we came upon the Western
portion of the Central Pacific Railroad, now
rapidly approaching completion, and which
will connect Sacramento with Oakland and
San Francisco. Large numbers of China-
men were gathered in busy groups for miles.
From these hot defiles we came out upon
the immense expanse of the San Joaquin
plains, where again we saw vast tracts well
covered with wheat and barley. Here is the
great prairie region of California, the basin
of the San Joaquin river being part of an
immense interior plain which is nearly 100
Rhodes wide and 600 miles in North-west and
nth-east direction. When you are out on
these great prairies nothing breaks the view
to the horizon, and seldom—only by, the
river sides—is the glare of the sun relieved
by the grateful shade of a single tree. The
road was monotonous, but came to .811
. end at nightfall at Graysonville, on the San
Joaquin river. One liquor shop had for its
sign this ominous numeral and word: “ 40'
Yar ”—nothing more. We understood it
to mean that thebeverages there retailed are
strong enough to kill at '40 yards’ distance
which to us was not. an‘ invitation but a
warning. We moved out of range of this.
battery. to a pleasant retreat among oaks,
where we baited .our animals well, and,_pre-
paring our first regular meal, entered into
the attractive mysteries of
cm LIFE. .
The picture we presented would have
been an edilying one for the gentle, friends
at home. How it would have made them
tremble for the laurels of .the kitchen to see
'the cook bring forth from the one camp-
,kettle a dish, the like of which was never
seen before, and to watch'rwitb what relish
the hungry vagabonds devoured every scrap
anal complain that there is‘ not enough of
such delectable viands. Here we spread
our blankets under the sky fondly expecting
repose from'our toils. A gentle ripple ‘stole
up from the sluggish San Joaquin, which
would likely have lulled us into pleasant
slumbers, had it not been mingled with the
louder music of the mosquito,-to whose ser-
enade the mest uncomplaining of our party
listened with wakéful attention until the
gray morning fairly dawned.
Along all this.part.of our route the mirage
filled us .with constant admiration, so. com-
plete a realization it was of what the desert
lands of the Orient are said to show. At
“=Hill’s Ferry we completed olir party by addé
ing to the four who rode behind the mules,
two friends on horseback, who started from
Santa Cruz and had already arrived when
we came up. In crossing this primitive fer-
ry, where many deep sloughs cut athwart
the road, we secured our first adventure by
a break in Ithe pole-strap as we plunged into
a treacherous creek, the near mule taking a
b , track under the body of a wagon.
or a day and' a half longer we followed
a tiresome road on the south side ‘of the.
Merced river; on our right hand were bound-
less sandy . barrens, level as the sea, but
spite of their sterility. dotted with many
beautiful fioWers. On our left were the bet-
tom lands of the Merced, which were grassy
and rich in soil and well clothed with beau-
tifill oaks; Game of all kinds, rabbit, hare,
quail and grouse, constantly attracted our
notice and kept as supplied withfi'esh meat.
Nothing on a camping trip so well helps
out the commissary department as nice juicy
game, flavored With the rare spice of a bun-
ter’s appetite. . . j .
" Farther. cp‘.we passed through a large
tract which gave full provflor having been
in some geologic age the. bed of a great lake.
The'anaaient' waves had left deep marks of
their clashing and dashing far up the sides
of the hills, and the whole bed of the basin
was covered with loose water-washed stones.
It would have been satisfactory to us had
some remnant of these prime‘valfloods sur-
vived for we. had -to_ travel through'a burn-
ing sun twenley-‘five miles before we could
find a mouthful for our hearts to drink.
These tribulations came to an’end at length
and we began to climb‘the foot-hills of the
Sierras, passing through, the several .

I Fine Words. . ;
Itappears by'the record of the Connecti-
cut Legislaturc, that some of the. good peas
ple of that State desired to establish a rail-
road parallel with the New-York and New-
Hdven—runnin through towns away from - ~
the immediate s ore. , ' ‘ ‘ ’
The New York and New Haven Railroad
naturally did not wantsuch a rival in busi-
nesss to have even the benefit of a charter;
and they have managed, by the usual lobby-
legislative tactics, to prevent the scheme for
the present. _
. There were some charges of bribery, but
these ended where most such charges do end
in connection with is 'slative proceedings—
in indignant and rig teous protest, and in
the gradual disappearance of the whole sub-
ject under a misty aureole of rhetoric.
An active committee-man against the new
charter, reported,with an air of seriousness
that the-New. Haven.Railroad was admira-
bly managed—that abundant means were
provided for; transport of all asssngers—
that nothing was neglected, in s ort, to make
it meet all the wants of the travelling public.
Now, sd far as punctuality and speed and'
economy go, we suppose the statement is
sound: but no other counts, it is. simply no-
torious that no road of its importance in the
country is so niggardly in its provision of
necessary car-room for even regular passen-
gers. , Scarce a day elapses but travellers are
compelled 'to stand for the first stage out of
New York, and the keen and active su ere
intendent is constantly 'on the alert to p ck
the largest number of passengers into the
smallest possible number of cars.
‘ The Harlem'trains are not remarkable for
speed, and the carriages are neither new nor
savory, but. there is generous rovisions‘of
seat-room. The same is true 0 the Hudson
of the Erie, of the New J erse Central, and
even of .the Transportation . ompany; in-
deed, there is not a railroad in the country
whose provision in this respect does not rise
to the character ot'liberality when compared
with the pinching and annoyin policy of
the New York and New Haven ,ailroatl. -
‘ Its resources are ample, its. wealth great,
its business constantly on the growth; but
its parsimony, in respect to the due seating
of the passengers,is s mply an outrage. And
the committee who—from some distant 10-
cality—have been induced to say the contra-
ry, are talking fine .words without meaning,
which can bring nothing but base profit to
an one. . ' , I
cm the aspects of the recent discussion,
itjis questionable if certain heavy capitalists
have notsecuredIthis legislative action by
the arguments which railroad capitalists
usually employ; and should the same action
secure the consolidation of the Hartford and
Springfield with the New Haven—as the
desire—the Legislature of Connecticut wil
in all probability hold the same relation to
the consolidated company which the New
Jersey Legislature have long held to the
railroad monopoly, of that encumbered
s ate. ' ‘ ' ‘
We wish Connecticut 9. better fate, and
we shall rejoice to see the attempt for a par-
allel mother a general railroad law renewed;
and we wish for the committee-men so full
of “fine words” a better employ than their
utteranceL—Hearth and Home.

Heated Term.
Every housekeeper knowsIthat during the heated
term, meats, butter, fruits, etc, must be kept cool,but
do not know how best to attain the desired end. To
such we would say that the Zero Refrigerator, patent-
ed by Mr. A. M. Lesley, has been before the'pnblic
for many years, and is highly recommended by pro-
fessors, hotel keepers, and heads of families. The ice
keeps longer in this than any other rekigerstor; the
.food does not come in contact with the ice itself, and
the box is cool without being damp. These are a few
of its advantages. Mr. Lesley has recently invented
what he calls a “wine and milk cooler.” It is really
aminiature refrigerator, is portable: and for use in
bed-rooms, where it is desirable to have milk, water.
etc, cool in the hottest nights, it is indispensable.
Mr. Lesley’s place is at No. 005 Sixth Avenue, near
Thirty-sixth Street—Home Journal.
Agents in Norwalk for these celebrated Prize
Refrigerators, are Knapp & Dickerman.

Schcuck’s Pulmonlc Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills ,rvlll cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and Dys e sis, if taken
according to directions. They are to be ta-
ksn at the same-time. They cleanse the stomach. re-
lax the liver and at it to work; then the appetite
becomes good ' t e food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in esh; the dis-
eased matter ripens in the lungs, and t e patient out-
grows the disease and gets well. This is the only
way to cure consumption. .
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schanck, of
Philadelphia, owes Ihis unrivalled success in the treat-
ment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonie
Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it 011' by an easy expectoration for when the
p ormattor is-rlpc a-sllght con hwill throw it
.03, and the patient has rest and the ungs begin to
cal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be'freely used to clsase the stomacn 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 obstructions, relax the ducts 0f the gall
bladder, the bile starts fi'eely,and the liver is soon re-
lieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do:
nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
desdlypoison which is very dangerous to use unless
with rest care,)that will unlock the 1] bladder and
start t c secretions of the liver like enck's Man-'
drake Pills. - ~
Liver Complaint is one of the most
causes of Consumption.
. - Schsnck’s Seaweed Tonic is a~ gentle stimulant and
alternative. and-the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw
out the gsstrlcjnlee todlssolvo the food with the Pul-
monic Syrup, and it is made into good blood without
fermentation or souringin the stomach. ‘
, flagrant reason why physicians doI-not cure Con-
: sump on is, they try to do too much ;, they give med-v
icine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to are .pight
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they orange
the whole tive powers, lockingu the secretions
and event y the atient sinks and es. '
