“ Ourlincs have fallen to us in pleasant places;
you we have a goodly heritage".
A halt of a few moments at the Light
House on Saturday, brought the above
scriptural quotation most vividly to mind.
From its elevated pedestal, we could gather
in, as if looking upon some enchanted pano-
rama, the crescent Hills of our entire water
frontage. To say that this view was sur-
passingly beautiful, but feebly expresses the
reality. We have never seen on this foot-
liool, anything to approach it,—and a friend
with us, more traveled than ourselves, was
in an ecstacy of delight over its unequalled
loveliness. All around as far as the eye
could reach, were the hills and dalcs. the
wooded plats and clearings, the Harbor like
a silver rod winding its sparkling line behind
the headlands, with ever and anon, some
smiling cottage home or toll spire, to break
in like sparkling gems upon the delighted
vision. Then comes the enchanting array
of the Norwalk Islands, blending in poetic-
bcauty with the waters and distant land-
scape. Never in Europe, or all America,
have we enjoyed a view like this. That
some artist of renown has not been brought
hither by our citizens of wealth, to transfer
this entrancing scenery to canvass, is a mat-
ter of surprise. We are not too enthusiastic
when we assert that the view from the top
of the Norwalk Light House, on a clear
summer’s day, is worth a journey of a
thousand miles to see. Let us urge every
lover of the beautiful to climb its heights
.aud look out upon the picture, ere the sore
and yellow leaf shall mar its emerald gami-
ture.
Casting the eye up to the villages nestled
so cosily amid the trees and‘ hills, and be-
speaking so much home comfort and ele-
gance, how fuin would we forget, if we
could, the sordid impulses and passions that
so sadly mar our town’s acknowledged lov-
liness. Here the greed of gain, tempts men,
as elsewhere, to acts of selfishness and cm-
elty. Here rum runs riot, blasphemy and
obscenity grate upon ears polite. Even
among the best of us, there is often found
wanting that generous public spiritedness,
which seeks the happiness and well being of
the masses, instead of securing the selfish
ends of the individual. A town so blessed
of the Creator, soattractive to the stranger,
ought to promote ' the most g n
erous hospitalities and amine the most en—
lightened and liberal public-spiritedness.

WThe Danbury people, we hear, are
following the example set by N orwalk last
year, and are making liberal arrangements
for the entertainment of the 17th Regiment,
C. V., at their annual reunion to be held in
that wide—awake town on Saturday, the
281k inst.
Lt. Col. Allen, President of the Associa-
tion, has issued the following circular :—
“ The third annual re-union of this Asso-
Ciatiou will be held at Danbury, August
28th, 1869.
The association will be formed at the
Depot, immediately upon the arrival of the
morning train from Norwalk, and proceed
to a. Hall, or such place as may be desig-
nated for holding the meeting; after which,
they will partake of Dinner, provided by the
citizens of Danbury.
Arrrangcments have been made with the
Danbury & N orwalk Railroad, Company to
carry members of the Association at half
price."

WThe rain of Sunday night proved
most opportune. We seldom if’ever saw
'ourroads so dry and dusty. The streams
~also, are unusually low for the, season. The
frequent rains of the early summer seem only
to have wet the surface and while ensuring
as large strawberries, abundance of fruit
and good crops generally, we have not had
the soaking rains usual in other years, and
as a consequence, wells are dry, mill-streams
played out, 'and pastures well-nigh cx-
hausted. Every shower under these circum-
stances, is worth untold amounts to the
thirsty earth.
W The little Nellie White goes loaded
down with passengers every pleasant day.
Hundreds take the boat because they feel
that there is a direct robberyin the dollar and
thirty cents railroad fare from N orwalk to
New York. The railroad made money when
they carried at 75 cents. The people com-
plained not at the rise to a dollar, but the
swindle of sixty cents on every round trif-
hundrcds will not submit to when they can
avoid it, and they are abundantly justified.

Petty Spite.
Our readers will recollect an article cop-
ied into these colums from Hearth (f7 Home
criticising in a fair and amiable way, some
of the shortcomings of the New York 85
New Haven railroad corporation. It was
evidently from the ever candid and court-
eous pen of its editor Donald G. Mitchell,
who is a New Haven Commuter. Well, its
statements being true, that great and. mag-
nanimous corporation, have forbid the little
newsboys selling Hearth & Home in the
ears and have ordered it off the shelves of
the Depot news stands. The last number
of Hearth it; Hmnecxpresses gratification at
even this confession of sensibility on the
partof that road, and yet seems to feel a de-
gree of surprise at such an act of tyrauical
stupidity and spite. This road is not entire-
iy independent of public clamor, as is evi-
denced by the saloon and drawing-room
care, put on for the first this‘yei/ir. It is true
it is about ten years behind all first class
roads, yet a constant dinging about the cars
by such papers as the GAZETTE, has driven
them, from shame and the dread of compp-
tition, to furnish a few of the accommoda-
tions and comforts, provided by almost
every third rate road at the west where
competition is free.
One of the most amusing (of its arrogance
had not been so disgusting) features of the
great plea of President Bishop at Hartford,
was the air of lofty assumption of a special
right to do all the Railroad business, which
filled his speech. His contemptuous sneers
scurilous abuse of the men who proposed to
carry passengers quicker, safer and cheaper
than he did, reached the sublimity of cox-
comb impudenee and etl‘rontry. There is a
law in Connecticut which confines behind
state prison bars, those who buy their way
through our Legislature. How short and
tragic would be the end of some men if this
law were enforced. Now let them forbid
anybody riding upon their cars who favors
competition in railroad business.

W The business community were start-

Commission House of Bowers, Beekman &
Co., the New York agents of the Union
Manufacturing Company of this place.
I‘heir liabilities have been ascertained to be
about two millions of dollars, and the as-
sets of the firm over a million. Mr.Bowers,
the senior partner who is reportedworth a
million, offers to surrender his private prop-
erty to the creditors,.and the other partners,
it is said, will do the same to the amount of
half a million more, so that the failure ap-
parently amounts to nothing more than a
.temporary suspension of payment and of
business. This firm has always sustained a
high reputation, and we are glad to hear
that it is their intention to resume business
as soon as the present difficulties are ar-
ranged.

How weeds and bugs they soiled our hose,
And Bunker perfumes caught our nose, '

W An exchange has this: “If wrltcd
flowers have about half an inch of their
stems cut off, and the stalk thus trimmed is
inserted into boiling water, they will in a
few moments resume their originfl fresh-
ness. The process is most applicable to col-
ored flowers, as roses, geranium, azaleas,
&c., white Ones turning yellow. Thick pet.
aled flowers show the most marked imé
restoring freshness to Old flowers is to place
them in water, and cover with a glass shade.

bottom of the water in vases has a marked
effect in .maintaining flowerq fresh 8 long
time, and keeping the water sweet.” '

W Since the action of the Town Meeting
refusing to discontinue the North Center
School District, a meeting of the District
has been held at which it was vofed to build
a new School House upon .the old site.
Without entering upon the question of the
propriety of building a new house at the
present time, under present circumstances,
we would simply urge upon the people of
this District the importance ofehanging the
site of the building from the public highway,
and of purchasing for the purpose some good
building lot, of suitable dimensions, conven-
iently located, which they can properly en-
close. At ihe present time, we believe, there
are no school houses in town located on the
highway, as was'the custom in former days,
the others having been provided for, one by
one, with better locations. If we are to
have a new building let us have one that
will be a credit to the district.

ACCIDENT.— A little girl aged ten yotrs,
daughter of Mr. Cables of Norwalk. and at
the time visiting Mr. Lot Butter-field, was
so severely burned as to cause death on_ the
following day. It appears that “the little
girl 'whilepreporing a glass by which-to
view the eclipse, laid a bumin stick besrde
her, from which her dress too fire. Not

blaze—consternation seizing the poor girl
she ran directly from the house to the road,
the air assisting the progress of the flames,
she was enveloped in one mass of fire. At
this moment Mr. Wm. Purdy riding
near the spot, sprang from his carriage, and
with the aid of. his coat succeeded in arrest-
ing the fire in its direful'work. Dr. Cockiu
was immediately summoned, pronounced
the case very critical, and it was hoped at
the time that the poor 'rl had net inhaled
the fire, in absence 0 which a probabil-
ity was indulged that the case would not
prove fatal. All necessary care and at-
tention' was taken of her by her good friends
at Mr. Butterfield’s, all of which was of no
avail. Afters day of sufi'ering, such as. we
can have no idea, the progress of the case
indicated the diet that s e had inhaled the
fire, and her life was despaired of.‘ At six
o’clock 1-. IL, the next day, (only twenty-
hours after the occurrence) the poor lgirl
breathed her last. The unfortunate rs.
Cables—mother of the little girl—was tele-
phed, but was unable to reach Rye till
her child was dead. What agony the poor
mother must endure at being so suddenly
robbed of another of her little family: ( t
is understood that she lost a little girl not
long since.) Theremains are to be taken
to Stepney for interment.

Grezory’o Point.
Your correspondent recently had the
pleasure of visiting the yard of the Grego-
ry’s Point Marine Railway Company and
found an exception to the general dullness
of business.
Under the careful, yet energetic manage-
ment of Capt. Geo. 8. Bell, the company
has built up, in a year, a sound and profita-
ble business which is increasing every week
and will soon require an extra set of ways
to carry on. The new three masted schooner
now on the stocks, to be commanded by
Captain Augustus B. St. John, is a credit to
its builders. The cabins are beautifully fitted
up with hard woods and all of the accom-
paniments are of the best material and work-
manship, and highly ornamented. This fine
vessel will be launched on Saturday, Aug.
21st, at half-past 10 o’clock, a. m. t
We found on the railways the finely mod-
eled and staunch propeller 'E. A. Woodward,
lately built by this company for the Nor-
walk Steam Freight Company. She was
hauled up to repair the propeller wheel.
Also, Propeller Yacht Pioneer of Bridge-
port, on the ways, and the schooner Evelyn
of Stamford, awaiting the tide.
There is no doubt that this is one of the
best localities for ship building and repair-
ing in the vicinity of New York, and other
business factories and Companies will rap-
idly oover the adjacent lots. *

W Several times, recently, we have had
occasion to speak in terms of. strong com-
mendation of the enterprise of our Livery
Stable keepers, of the great improvements
they have lately made in the style and char-
acter of their carriages, their improved
stock of horses, etc. On Tuesday afternoon
last, having accepted an invitation from
friend Morehouse to take an airing and
‘ view the unrivalled beauties of our town,
we were astonished to see that well-known
Knight of the whi .Sam. Nowell, drive up
up to our modes ', omicil with his best
“ four in hand” and an elegant, luxu-
rious and most comfortable ,barouche.
Well, the style was worthy of President
Grant, or any other man, and concluding
that we were worthy of the style, we sub-
mitted gracefully as possible under the cir-
cumstances, and were whirled away where-
soever the driver willed, over hills, through
the vales and shaded lanes to Roton, where
we whiled away a brief half-hour inhaling
the bracing sea breeze and enjoying the
delights of thiaheautiful resort. Returning,
we came over the ridge to Flax Hill, thence
north on the brow of Golden Hill, where we
were charmed with the surpassingly lovely
probably known to but comparatively few
of our citizens; thence through the village
of South N orwalk, over the new bridge and
again up-town, having thoroughly enjoyed
a delightful ride.
To any of our citizens who have not re-
cently indulged in rides around town, and
who consequently have no real idea of our
wonderful growth and the improvements
constantly going on, or to strangers who
wish to view the lavish beauties of nature
of which we are so proud, we would advise
them to call on Mr. Morehouse, secure Sam.
Nowell for a driver, and indulge themselves
in one good long ride under. his experienced
guidance. If they are too modest to go “in
style,” as become us, they can take their
choice of the number of horses and chame-
ter of vehicle. ‘

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED. .
WALrnAl, Mass., Nov. 12, 1368.
My randmother and several aunts and cousins
died 0% consumption. My mother had a cancer; I was
taken with a. bad cough which had afi‘ected me 18
months; 12 months a ter my con h com ‘, can-
cers began in both breasts, whic grew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps in 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 suflercd much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprln water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfect 7 well fortwo months; no
cou h or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts ‘
no tilyspepsla; no 1pain or suflering. Everywhere I
am strong and ab e to perform all my duties. I took
medicines four months.
Thankfully yours.

W.,..—
Pulmonic Syrup,
Schenck’s
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills will cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspe sia, if taken
according to directions. They are all t ree to be ta.
ken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, re-
lax the liver and put 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 in the lungs, and the patient out-
grown the disease and gets well. This is the only
way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenek, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treat-
ment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic
Svrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it 011‘ by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cnuwu will throw it
fill, ‘and the patient has rest and the alungs begin to
es .
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to clause the stomacu 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 of the gall
bladder, the bile starts freely,und the liver is soon rc-
lieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do:
nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
deadly poison which is very dangerous to use unless
with great carc,)thnt will unlock the all bladder and
start the secretions of the liver like chcnck’s Man-
drake Pills. .
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
alternative. and the alkali 1n the Seaweed, which this
preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw
out the gastricjnice to dissolve the food with the Pul~
monic Syrup, and it is made into good blood without
fermentation or soaring in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption is, they try to do too much; they give med-
icine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to sto night
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they orange
the whole d1 estive powers, locking up the secretions
and eventna y the patient sinks and dies.
Dr, Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
the cough nightsweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will all stop of their-own accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, leer Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated 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 5
are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. n
such cases what must be done. It is not only the an
that are wasting, but it is the whole body. T e
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take
Dr. Schenek’s three medicines, which will bring up a
tone to the stomachpthe patient will begin to want
food, it will digest east] and make good blood; then
the patient beg as to go
body begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal a ,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the on y
we to cure comm tion.
en there is no on disease and only Liver Com-
laint and D spepsla, cheuck’s Seaweed Tonic and
[andrake P is are sufficient, without. the Pulmonic
Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bil-
ions complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and now weighs 225 pounds,
was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians pro-
nounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his
fate. He was cured bv the aforesaid medicines, and
since his recovery many thousands slmilary athleted
have used Dr. Sehenck's reparations with the same
remarkable success. Fu directions accompan each
