The 17th Reunion.
The annual reunion of the veterans of our
Fairfield County Regiment, takes place on
Saturday next at_Danbury. It is anticipa—
tcd that most, if not all the surviving mem-
bers of that historic regiment. will be
present. The citizens of Danbury havr
been at the pains to tender the boys 3 hos-
pitable reception, and the ,Daubury and
Norwalk road will take up and return the
boys at lialffarc. We could wish Ncw Ha-
ven road would for once, in its whole exist-
once, do a generous thing by following thr-
example so cheerfully set by the little Dan-
buy, but of this we have no hope as we
have no precedents.‘ The adult will be a
very enjoyable one, and we advise every
member of the old 17th to be at the muster.

THE STORM.
The severest rain storm we have experi-
enced in this vicinity for years commenced
about 5 o'clock, on Saturday afternoon last,
continuing half an hour or more, followed
after a :short interval by a. second severe
shower. The rain came down in torrents,
and the thunder and lightning was remark-
ably severe. The atmosphere was heavily
charged with electricity, and the lightning
struck in many places, fortunately, however,
without doing any very severe injury. We
hear many stories of miraculous escapes,and
are surprised that so little damage was sus-
tained. At the bridge the sloop Mary A.
Selleck was struck, the lightning alivery
the topmost, then passing down the main
must to the hold, forcing its way out by
bursting off the hatch of the forecastle.
The residences of Chas. G. Dean, Chas. F.
Raymond, W. B. E. Lockwood, Mr. Ball,
were among the places struck, but we hear
of none that were seriously damaged. Sev-
eral persons in ditl‘crentparts of the town,
were prostrated by the electric fluid, but we
hear of no one dangerously injured.

dence is to be erected on the crest of the

camped at Danbury, and We presume the
people will enjoy the “general training”
themselves, and do all in their power ’to
make the encampment a pleasant one for

ment and Ex-Scuator Street’s bill, did it.
Westward the Star of Empire takes her
course and the Judge takes himself along
.with it, after having struggled longand man-
fully against.impelling fate. We are glad
that the invaluable records are to be thus
permanently placed beyond the contingency
of loss or damage by fire, and that the life
lease of the “Judge” to his pet ofiice, is by
this act rendered absolute. But two little
matters remain to render the consummation
complete. The Judge must get his life in-
sured at Camps, and the necessary appurte-
nances for his office, can be supplied at
Frank Nash & Brothers, who are agents
for Norwalk. “ Let us have peace.”

Captain “Illllam C. Berry.
Captain Wm. C. Berry, a well-known
shipmaster of this port, (lied at his residence
”.1 Brooklyn on Friday evening last, after
an extremely painful illness of three weeks.
Ac was afilicted with a complication of dis-
eases, among which was several carbuncles
on the back. He died at the age of fifty-five
years.
Captain Berry had followed the sea for up-
ward of forty years, and was considered one
of the best sailors and commanders, as well
as a skillful pilot, from the port of New
York. In former years, he was a Captain
1n Holmes’ line of N cw Orleans packets, and
commanded the ship W'cksbmy for a number
of years. He was also, at one time, Captain
of the steamship Guiding Star, and subse-
quently of other vessels engaged in domes-
tic and foreign shipping business.
During the late rebellion, Captain Berry
was employed bv the United States Govern-
ment to convey Union Soldiers to the South-
ern coast, with which he was so: well ac-
quainted—N. Y. Daily Tunes.
The Gazette of last week noticed the death
of Captain Berry, formerly a resident 01
Wilton, afterward of Stamford. The fore-
going notice appeared in the N. Y. Yi‘mcspt‘
the 17th. It should have been added that
at the commnncemcnt of the late rebellion
he commanded a steamer running between
New York and Savannah ; and that hc‘was
not only “ one of the best sailors and com-
manders,”—posscssed of some of the best
traits of the men of the sea,—but he was
also a sincere and earnest Christian, being
for many years, a. member and ofi‘icer in the
Protestant Episcopal church—as well as a
true gentleman and a warm and- generous
friend._ One who received many proofs of
his kindness of heart ofi'ers this humble
tribute to his‘memory, and the assurance of
the heart-felt condolence ofmany friends to
his afiiicted family. ,B.

which will probably continue until people
are compelled, in some way to keep 00‘ of the

Smith, of Rye, aged 60, while attempting to
cross the track ne'ar Portchcster with a wag-
on, was run over and instantly killed. The
horse was also killed.
John Concy, twenty-five or thirty years
old, while riding on the top of a car of the
clay freight from Bridgeport to New,York,
Friday afternoon, was struck by the
bridge at .Chatsworth station, knocked be-
tween the cars, and his body literally ground
to pieces by the wheels. . '
On Thursday last, near William’s Bridge,
a man named R. Ramsay who was stamdz'ng
art the track looking at the Harlem train,
was run over and killed.‘ The same after-
noon an unknov'vn man, who was walking on
the track near Cos Cob bridge, was run over
and had his head severed from his body,
and cut to pieces. Who will be the next
victim? ' ' '
W On Saturday afternoon, another man
was run over while running across the Main
track near Milford depot. His head was
severed from his body, and the head and
body horribly mangled.

THE FEAST OF FAT MEN.
The second annual “Cram BAKE" of the
Fairficld County “Fat Jrftm’s Association,”
took place at Gregory’s Point, on Friday,
August 20th, and proved to be a grand and
enjoyable ali‘air, celipsiug in every particu-
lar that of lastyear. At 9 o’clock the Go-
liah’s began to assemble and continued in a
steady stream until 1 p. 111., when it was
thoughtthc “Point” would be unable to
hold them. Such an array of mighty
Weight inhuman form never before congre-
gated. chcrbeforc did so many stupen-
hous paunchcs meet the vision, and never
before didwe witness the disappearance of
60 bushels of clams, .10 bushels of sweet
corn, 300 pounds of fish, and 25 bushels of
oysters, ctc., in so short; a space of time.
We read of the “mighty men of olc”—of
their deeds in the field and at the table, and
occasionally we hear it asserted that the
world is declining, that the human form is
deterioaling, that the term of man’s life is
gradually growing shorter, his form smaller
and more fragile, &c., but behold-this as-
semblage of jolly monsters, ye doubtersnnd
ye creatures of incrcdulity look at these
men with appetites like horses; bite your
words now, and henceforth, forever'hold
your peace. It has been said that Roast
Clams will more surely draw a ,crowd, and
in the eating give better satisfaction than
any other bivalve. The assertion was veri-
fied on Friday from the fact that the more
proclamation that the “Bake” was to be,
drew votarics from nearly every State of the
Union, including creditable delegations from
New York and Massachusetts. Below we

Here are 145 persons, each of whom

of 84,505 pounds. In addition there were
two or three hundred of the “Small fry” who
could raise the balance at from 175 to 199

also two of the entire crowd, each dill'crcnt- ,‘

P. Fisk, of New York, by reason of his im-
mensc weight (358) was unanimously elect- i
ed President of the institution for the year
ensuing, in place of G. Sidney Smith, (318) ;
of Stamford, who has so nobly performed
that duty since the organization had an ex-
istence. Mr. James A. Lincoln, of Spring-
field,Mass. (329) was elected Vice President
in place of Merritt Sherwood, (307) New
Milford ; and B. W. Maples of Westport, for
Secretary. Mr. E. B. Goodsell, of Bridge
P0”, made a humorous and appropriate
51306011, during which he presented to Mr.
Fisk, the President, and a ponderous ut
symmctically wrought cane, contributed
by Mr. Andrew Hull, of the Bartram & Fan-
ton Sewing Machine Co., Danbury. This
cane is valuable and v ’as orgiually given to
Mr. Hull by the Company of which he is a
member. Mr. Goodsell eulogized the Clam
and its family, and expressed a hope that
each year, on the 20111 of August, the Anni-
versary of this “Bake,” now so favorably
established, would be honored, and that in-
stead of the 500 persons then prcscninvc
might be able to enumerate 5,000.
The day was extremely hot but pleas
antly Passed, and without an accident.
At four o’clock the crowd dispersed and we
are sure each individual will look back and
say, “I was there, aiid passed a season of ra-
tional enjoyment.” “PAUL MARKHAM.”

For the Gazette.
An Invocation.
Let me write of the times out of joint,
Let me picture the wonderful men
Who assembled at Gregory’s Point
Last year, and this year again—
Let me write of wonderful weight, , -
As told by the truth-telling poise,—
Three hundred, and fifty and eight.
01' the eating, and drinking and noise,
How the oysters gaped-wide with a fizz,
How the clams oped their jaws with a snap,
How the adipose FISK opened his
And could’nt put shells in his lap—
Ilow Vice-President Lincoln pcrspired
A'nd Swabbed ofl‘ his face with a mop;
How happy he looked when retired
With a mighty blue fish in each chop.
I-Iow Smith, the defeated looked glum,
When beaten a half hundred weight,
And wished he never had come
« To such a lamentable fate.
How giants of lpcal renown
Came pompous, in spherical pome
But. when they departed from town,
Left wiser, and sadly for home,
Excelled in their avoirdupois
Excelled in vorticity, too,
Till feeling like skeleton boys,
What else could the poor fellows do 7
‘ As Snows did his best to prevent
Anv inward rcpiuing while there,
And fed with so cheery intent
That none could complain of his fare.
Let us hope they will shed not a tear,
But add a magnificent sum
To the total of weight for next year.
What may we not look for in time
If each does his hearty devoir
To meat from adjacent the chime
And unwearlcdly uses his jaw 7
0, men of tremendous expanse,
0, men of a weight so extreme,
Continue in bulk to advance
Till 500 is shown by the beam!
0, men less than 209 weight,
0, men now to leanueis a prey,
Fill daily the succulent plate
And empty it often each day,
Till you: weigh the appointed ten score,
And after, continue to eat,
Growing surely and constantly fat,
Until you our PRESIDENT beat.
Let each strive with this in his view,
And add to his weight what he can,
, And’cndeavor in time to secure
To the olden dimensions of man.

Letters from the People.
“Our lines are fallen to us in pleasant places.”
FRIEND BvINo'r'oivz—In many respeCts,
and aspects, this is true,—yet “Doth not
wisdom cry, and understanding put forth
her. voice." Shestands in the top of high
places, by the way, in the places of the
paths. She crieth at the gates, and at the
entering in of the (would be) ‘city—at the
coming in at the doors. And her cry is
“ water ! pure water l”—and though we have
so beautiful a water front—this is but an ag-
gravation to the travel-worn and thirst-y
stranger. Unto you, 0 men, I call; and my_
voice is to the sons of men.” Give us pure,
good and wholesome water, that the weary
may sit and quaff, and enjoy, while the eye
takes in the more clearly the surrounding
beauties the GCd of nature has provided.—
th shc cries, “ 0 ye simple, understand
wisdom; and ye fools, be ye of an under-
standing heart." '
I had hoped now, while it was a season of
dry weathcr,——and we have not had for some
years, a season when our springs were so
low as this present,—that you would have
fulfilled your engagement to go and see the
spring I had named to you, and its position,
its elevation,and the ease and small expend-
iture necessary to give this place a good and
abundant supply of pure and good water at
all seasons of the year.
Now, and for months, our people have
been, and are still, paying more money for
the water sprinkling partially some portions
of the streets, than would be required to pay
the interest on the entire cost of a full sup-
ply of good and pure water for all purposes.
In this state of ailiairs is it a wonder that
“ Rum runs riot,” &c., «be. Even among the
best of us, there is found a want of gener-
ous public-spiritedness which seeks the hap-
piness and well being of the masses. A sup-»
ply of pure water would conduce and se-
cure ten-fold more to “the selfish ends of
the individual” than anything in a public
way that could be done. True, “ strangers
are attracted,” yet, after a few days of this
dry, dusty weather, they leave in disgust, '
crying water, water, water! Oh, fora cool-
ing draught of pure water!
You hold the charter, and, like the dog
in the manger, neither use nor allow others
to use. Personally, I have an abundant
supply for all household uses. It is there-
fore not for self, or for self-interest, but for
the good of all, and had I the charter I
would have the water in the village within
60 days,——so that all who wished could have
it at a reasonable rate.
Yours, 0. F. RAYMON D‘
W We rejoice in the opportunity of
~ tendering the Charter to our friend, and will
allow-him 30 days extra for the completion
of the work

Mussus. Enrronsz—
We note in your last issue an item under
the head of “ nuisance,” referring to the
manufacture of fish oil, on theislands at the
mouth of the harbor.. We have spent the
summer in South Norwalk, and during that
time we have been entirely unconcious, as
far as any odor was concerned, that there
was an oil factory within a thousand miles
of us.- )Vc venture to assert that even as
far down as Gregory’s Point, the odor is im-
perceptible.
But grant that there is an odor, and an
unpleasant one to those who now and then
sail out for a day in our harbor. It is not
as disgusting or disagreeableas arises from
the gutters of Main street, or the precinc‘s'
of the “long house,” or even the ellluvia. of
our own pet “Railroad Pond.” These are
not only disgusting but pestilential, .whereas
it is impossible to verify such an assertion
in regard to the oil factories. As a case in
point, not a physician could be found in
Greenpoiut three weeks ago, who would
testify on oath to that effect, in regard to the
floating factory 'in that harbor. There is
now invested in this business, at the mouth
of our harbor, one hundred and fifty thou-
sand dollars. Over two hundred and fifty
men are employed in fishing arid making the
oil, and not less‘than twenty thousand dol-
lars has been left in Norwalk by them this
summer. Another year this will bedoubled.
In view of these facts would it not be well
for us to clean our streets and prevent the
foul smells which we inhale daily, before
we go six miles to hunt up “nuisances”
which are more imaginary than real. In
regard to the guano factory on the east side
of the harbor, we say nothing, but we do
object to this large amount of capital, and
éthcsc prompt business men (from whose
cash paying proclivitics some of our own
townsmen might take a few lessons) being
driven away from us, by the complaints of
a few persons who never go down to the
harbor but for an occasional sail, and whose
nostrils are so delicate that “can dc cologne”
is : it essential part of their own toilet.
“ 11.”
SOUTH Nouwan, Aug. 18,1869.
In answer to the inquiry in last weeks,
GAZETTE “ Who works the road from Capt.
Baily’s to David Low ?” I will answer,
“ The Water." I answer it thus, for I know
from obseryation that the surveyor of this
district has been faithful in his duties, in ak
ing the, rounds very often to know what
needs to be done, and with above] in hand,
mending the roads where it was possible.
At the place mentioned, the road has been
good until the last rain; 1' then went over
this spot and found the gutters stopped by
rubbish thrown in to them, and consequent—
ly the water overflowcd into the street,
washing it severely. Until individuals will
have a little care and stop throwing obstruc-
tions into the gutters, our roads cannot be
kept in order, especially the hills. An ordi-
nance should be passed, promoting it. The
road needs wo'rking 710w, and should be at-
tended to. G.
Weston Boarding School.
This school was established 35 years ago
as a Home school for boys. The principal
Andrew S. Jarvis, has the entire manage-
ment of the young men sent to his Care.
The school has steadily increased until the
present time. At first the object of this
school was to prepare young men for busi-
ness,butrccently there has been added 'a
classical department, under the charge of
Charles W. Bardeen, A. 13., of Yale.
The school is situated in the South-west-
ern part of Connecticut, eight miles from
the New Haven and New York Railroad
Depot at Norwalk. The ground is high,
commanding an extensive view of the sur-
rounding.country, and no section could be
more healthy. It is four miles from West-
port, the ncarcst point where boys could
have any inducements to spend money.
The retired location makes this school de-
thosc influences which tend to make a young
man an ornament to society, and an honor
to the business world. Mr. Jarvis spares
no pains in making his school pleasant and
cheerful, furnishing his scholars with amuse-
ments which develop thej' physical, as well
as mental strength. A Bowling Alley and
Gymnasium for exercise, and a Library has
recently been attached to the school depart-
ment. The military department as a means
of discipline is among the most desirable
features of the school. They are required
to observe the most perfect order and neat.-
ness of appearance, and a rotation in office
inspires the scholars with a desire to excel,
as the best scholars are elected to the the
highest: office, and misconduct causes their
removal and present disgrace. This is the
severest punishment adopted by the Princi-
pal. A bad boy requiring more severe pun-
ishment is rem-d fmm the school. Mr. J a r-
vis rules by kindness. His scholars love, re-
spect and fear him. He always appeals to
their reason and manhood, thus making a
young man feel his nobility. a
Every attention to the manners and
conversation, is among the first principles
of the school. The rooms of the scholars
are large and airy, and nicely furnishcd,‘and
a. large Wash and Bath room is one of the
conveniences seldom found in a school. We
have never visited a. chool where every ad-
vantage was so fully combined as here. The
teachers are of the first order, and the location
cannot be surpassed for health, retirement
and beauty. The scholars are constantly
under the eye of the Principal. Mr. Bar-
deen as Principal of the Classical Depart-
ment, graduated with high honors at Yale.
A. 0. Barron, Teacher of Mathematics
Mr. 13.. H. Toquct in French, Miss 80-
phia V. Downs in Music, form an array
of the best talent to be found.
' Here a young man finds all the comforts,
and care of a luxurious home, while at the
same time he is receivinga thorough Clas,
sical Business or Military education, fitting
him‘ for any sphere in life.
In conclusion permit us,to say that no pa-
rent should send his son to any school that
'we know of until he has first visited this
pattern school. In all respects it is superior
to all other schools that we have seen.
WWO take pleasure in copying the
above editorial from the Hudson Daily Star
of Aug. 5th. The editor has had a son at
Mr. Jarvis’ school for the past year, and
wrote the above under the inspiration of a
recent visit.

W A club from Hartford, similar to our
Grampus and Neptune clubs, met with a
serious accident at Nantucket on Sunday of
last week, while entering the harbor the ves-
sel struck a rock, breaking in the bottom of
the schooner so that it immediately com-
menced to fill and in a short time sank.
Fortunately the accident was near to land
so that all got safely ashore and were able
to save their personal effects. ' The
accident, it may be imagined, put a damper
upon the cujoyments of the cruise.

ed by Ivlr. A. M. Lesley, has been before the public

keeps longer in this than any other refrigerator; 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

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED. .
Wan-ruler, 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 couwh which had affected me 18
months; 12 months after my cough commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, which grew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps in both breasts.
In this state I c'alled 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 perfect y well for two months; no
cough or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts;
no dyspepsia; no pain or suffering. Everywhere I
am strong and able to perform all my duties. I took
medicines four months.
Thankfully yours.

Scllcuck’s Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills will cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and DySpepsia, if taken
according to directions. They are all three to be tr.-
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 iu the lungs, and the patient out-
grows the disease and gets well. This is the only
way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines 'Dr. J. II. Scheuck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalledsuccessin the treat-
ment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic
Svrup ripcns the morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it all by an e y cxpectoration for when the
phlegm or matter is 1pc a slight cough will throw it
off, and the patient has rest and the lungs begin to
hcaL
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to clease the stomach and liver,
so that the Pnlmonic 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,and the liver is soon re-
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 care,)that will unlock the gallbladder and
start the secretions of the liver like Schenck’s Man-
drake Pills. '
Liver Complamt is one of the most: prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck’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 gastricjuicc to dissolve the food with the Pul-
monic Syrup, and it. is made into good blood without
fermentation or scoring 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 stop night
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they derange
the whole digestive powers, lockingu the secretions
and eventually the patient sinks and ies.
Dr, Sclicnck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
the cough nightsweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, an they will all stop of their own accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated 'Throat, un-
less the liver and stomach are made healthy.
Ifa person has consumption, of course the lungs in
'somc 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 that only the lungs
that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take
Dr. Schenck’s three medicines, which will bring up a
tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want
food, it. will digest easily and make good blood; then
the patient begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the
body begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal u ,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the only
, way to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease and only Liver Com-
plaint and Dyspepsia, Scheuck’s Seaweed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are sufficient w1thoul. the Pulmonic
Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bil-
ious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyedunintcrruptcd health
for many years past, and now weighs 225 pounds,
