Editorial Letter.
We now catch the first glimpses of the
old Denver, and'Salt Lake Overland Stage
Road. The telegraph poles still stand along
its line, grim scntinels of Our advanced civ-
ilization, although the. telegraphic business
of the great Western Union Company is
now mainly done over the new lines just
erected beside the trans-continental railway.
Having passed the highest point on the
“ U. P.,” we are now descending the western
slopes 50 feet to the mile, our engineer shut-
ting his valves and letting his machine run
with the momentum of the train, down and-
across the Laramie Plains. Red Buttes is the
next station of consequence, so named from
the sand stbnc peaks and bluffs which rear
their .collossal forms on every side. They
range from 55 to 1000 feet in altitude and
comprise the most grotesque and novel
slopes, although generally assuming a sort
of castle-tower or pyramid form. Indeed,
It requires but a slight effort of the imagin-
ation to conjecture some immense city of
temples, castles, towers and turrets lifted by
some mighty upheaval and dropped down
in confusion and ruin. We counted some
20 colossal human profiles more distinct in
outline than the ‘Fold man of the mountain”
so enthusiastically shown up at the White
Mountains. Prodigious elephants, lions, ti-
gers and indeed, whole menageries can also
be pictured out of these fantastic shapes of
stone. That there must have been some gi-
gantic convulsion of nature, throwing up
from the depths of ocean these , primitive.
rocks and left them to wash and wear by
the attrition of the elements during untold
centuries, is to our mind conclusive.
Rushing rapidly by Fort Sanders station,
we next reach Laramie, about 600 miles
from Omaha. Here is as capacious and fine
a railroad dining hall and hotel as any on
the Erie Railroad. The Railroad company
also have r'epair, machine and construction
shops located here. The engine house has
a capacity for twenty locomotives. The
company‘s wori: alone giving to the place
an air of large commercial and manufactur—
ing importance. But the feature of greatest
interest to us and surprise to everybody
familiar with “ soulless” corporations is the
capacious and beautiful Hospital erected and
maintained by the railroad. Here any em-
ployee of the Co. who is injured or‘bccomes
sick, is carefully nursed and placed under
the best medical care. A fine stream of
water runs through the town and the Doc-
tor in charge has not only turned it to the
ornamental purpose of a improvised foun-
tain, but has so irrigated his grounds that
he has raised as fine garden vegetables and
cereals as any we have seen, and this at an
altitude of over 7000 feet above the sea!
The Doctor assured us also that cattle grazed
out of doors all winter and that snow never
was seen over four; inches in depth on the
level. This evidence proves .that altitude
does not govern temperature. Two banks,
. a daily newspaper, lawyers, doctors and a
few preachers, and any number of billiard
and drinking saloons make the complete re-
finement and civilization of the place. The
plains from whence the town takes its name
is a belt of rich grazing land of nearly sixty
miles length by thirty breadth, and used to
be the favorite pasturage of vast herds of
buffalo. Now it is monopolized by the
whitcman and his herds of beef cattle.
Nearing River station we. pass one of the
deepest cuts on the U. P. Road, and run out
into the “ Sagebrush” country. Conio lake
is the next object of interest, a clean, silvery
sheet of water on the right about as large as
Nor-walk Harbor, and abounding in fish and
ducks. '
Passing in quick smcession numberless
little creeks, and stations, we rcaehRawlings
Springs, where the Company have provided
another dining station. The country is
rough and desolate, sage-brush and alkali
and a natural ravine wide enough for the
road, with bluff nearly 100 feet high on either
side of gray limestone, are ‘all that can be
given as walks. Reaching Creston, half
strangled with alkali dust, whenever we
venture a head out of the window or stand
' on the platform, and we are on the "‘ apex
of the great Back Bone of the Continent”—
the summit of the Rocky Mountains, still
several thousand feet above Mount Wash-
ington, and the sea. So gradual and easy,
however, has been the ascent to Sherman
and more than a 1000 feet higher than our
present altitude and down and up again to
this western edge of the range, that we can
only realize that we have. been traversing
the mountain tops for near a day, by being
so told by the engineer.
Glad to speed do an the Rocky Mountain
grades'and bid adieu to the dreary, desolate,
yet wild and broken summit, we pass Point
of Rocks, Atlantic City, Green River City,
and a dozen or more flag stations, and reach
Ham’s Fork, the point from which the U. P.
have a route surveyed to Portland, Oregon,
705 miles distant. Our longest halt was
made at the next station, Church Buttes, to
gratify the taste and curiosity of the ladies
in picking up moss agatcs. These new and
curious stonesnow all the rage in jewelry
sets, are found here in great quantities. Our
party, during the half hour of our halt must
have gathered a quart measurefull, some Of
them very grotesque and rare. _ Next comes
Ridges Station, named in honor of an old
trapper now living in Missouri and who was
a resident here among the Indians for forty
years. He should be at once employed in
preparing a new groyraphy of this Western
country for our schools and colleges.
At Castle Rock we enter Echo Canyon.
Here we pass the longest tunnel on the
route, 800 feet in length. Before this was
cut, a Z or sideling rail was laid in the can-
yon below so that construction trains passed
around beyond this mountain obstruction.
Here castcllated rocks rise and range on the
right to altitudes of 2000 feet-the grandest,
most wonderful and interesting of all the
scenery on the U. P. Division. Our ladies
took to the Bulk Head of the engine as we
passed Hanging Rock and through Echo
Canyon, to get a full view of the grand,
weird and-wonderful freaks ‘of nature sur-
rounding us. Soon we enter Weper Can~
yon and run beside Weber river till we
reach the 1000 mile tree. This is a thrifty
pine close beside the track and happening
to be at the end of the link that finished the
one thousand miles from Omaha, has been
saved with scrupulous care, a board with
the inscription denoting its sentinel duty and
importance. Here we will rest the reader
till another week, when we will endeavor
to lend them as unwearicd as we ourselves
were, at Sacramento, California. Adieu.

ALI. Wnoxo.—We'had occasion, last Sat-

New York. It was a. cold, raw, wet morn-
ing. The cars had no fire and with a com-
mendable view to cleanliness had evidently.
been washed out with hose. The floor was
very wet and we counted seven ladies with
young children in this car. We passed into
two others and found them equally cold and
wet. We mention this in no captions spirit,
but such careless disregard of the health of
passengers, deserves reprobation.

Our Borough Election.
To-day (Monday) wc‘havc our first muni-
cipal election under the new and enlarged
Borough limits. At this present writing the
result is not known so far as relates to party
divisions, nor is this of much consequence.
We would have been glad to have had a
purely non-partizan citizens ticket put in
nomination and tried the experiment, at
least one year, of ruling our borough inde-
pendent of all partizan issues. But inas-
much us the Burgesses must be equally di-
vided and the other officers are without ad-
ministrative functions, this end is substan-
tially attained, although both parties have
put a ticket ,of their own selection in the
field. There has been an evident disposi-
tion on both sides, to put men in nomina-
tion who will take an interest in promoting
the welfare of our village, and in this view
it makes no serious difference as to who
wins.
P. S.—The election 11 sulted in the choice
of the Democratic ticket by a small majori-
ty, with the exception of John Sullivan, can-
didate for Bailiff, who was defeated by D.

Bridgeport and the horse returned to Mr. .
a». A New Detective.
On Thursday night last aparty of Bridge-
port thieves made a raid upon one of our
South Norwalk grocersnvho chanced to have
lead,
thieves loaded into a one horse wagon and
proceeded safely till they came Opposite the
Horse Railroad Depot, when their hind
wheel caught in the switch and so bent their
axle as to render assistance necessary and a
full exposure of their load, although it was
“015 known at the time to have been 510”“
Thhy then proceeded up Mill Ilill, but got
astray again by taking the road; around by .
the Congregational Church and up about
Sticky Plain road. Near m‘orning they got
straight and passed up the hill in rear of the
Episcopal Church on to the Turnpike, but
their horse tiring out they unloaded their
booty in the yard of the old Cameron place,
where it was recovered. Oflicer Bartram
captured one of the thieves on Saturday at
Bridgeport and expects to take two others
engaged in the villaiuy. ‘
SOMETHING New—Mr. Hall, the Railroad
Electric Switch man, was at the Bank of
N orwalk last week with a device for render-
ing banks, buildings and safes burglar-proof,
or rather rendering their entrance Without
ratification a matter of impossibility. He
has an adjustment so nicely arranged that
no door or window, either outside or inside
can be opened, or any person even stand in
front of the vault without an alarm hell be-
ing rung at the residence of the cashier or
watchman in charge of the bank. It differs
from the Holmes alarm in that thc- burglar
is no't himself apprised of the alarm he is
giving of his presence. This must prove a
valuable appliance to Banks and will no
doubt soon find practical test of its- utility.

wise the lists are made out from the records

LIFE IN THE SMOKING CAR.—-“ A. P,"

“ Permit me to call your attention to the

When I have occasion to come to the city I
travel by the train which leaves Norwalk at
7:45. At Stamford a newsboy enters the
car. After hastily glancing over their pa-
pers, the fifty or sixty regular travelers roll
them up into hard balls, and wo betide the

Letters from the People.
SWAN'rox, VT., 'Oct. 13th, 1869.
' ~DEAB GAZETTEzd-Thinklllg that a short
thirteen one hundred pound kegs of w'hitc account of our journey through Connecticut
standing on his stoop. These the and Vermont,smcc thclatc flood, and before
Its angry waters had subsided, might. be in-
terest-ing, I write. Leaving Norwalk Fri-
day morning, we reached New Haven and
took the New Haven do Northampton R. R,
Two days before this road had been impass-
able, but through the cfllcient management
of Chas. Rockwell, Esq, late of the N. Y. &
N. H. road, it was in running order by
Thursday. Mr. R. proved himself a very
railroad king. For two days and nights he
had no rest or change of garments. One
bridge at Westfield, sixty feet long, was re-
built and in readiness for trains in five hours.
We found the road in good condition, and
reached Northampton on time.
The scenery along the road is highly pic-
turesque, and as you approach Northamp-
ton, Mt. Ilolyoke looms up in the distance,
very grand and beautiful.
Here we met the first train through on the
Connecticut River road since the flood. Two
days before Conductor Carroll’s train was
proceeding around the curve into Holyoke,
when the engine went head foremost down
in the mud, and partly tipped over. Au en-
gine came up from Springfield to its assist-
ance, which also became embedded, thus
shutting Off communication with New York.
Supt. W. B. Brinsmade was on board, and
showed us some photographs of the two en-
gines, stuck in the mud. Mr. Brinsmade, also,
is deserving of great praise for his indefati-
gable labors in getting this very important
road in running order, under the greatest
all right, and was looking after the freight
trains. ,
We reached Bellows Falls, and Mr.Brins-
made urged us to return on account of the
difficulties ahead, but after waiting three
months for a vacation, we could not think
of it. After a pleasant sojourn and a good
suppcr’at the Island House, we took cars on
the Vermont Central to an unknown region,
for by no possibility could any news be ob-
tained as to the prospect ahead. We had
plenty of company, and although some of
them had been long delayed, they were in
good spirits. We proceeded as far as Wind-
sor and here we had to stop. Four miles
ahead was a bad break at Hurtland. So at
midnight. we left the cars and proceeded to
the Windsor House, and, although full to
overflowing, managed to act a bed for our-
self and lady, through the kindness of Miss
8., a lady boarder. ‘ Windsor is a delightful
place. Here are located extensive shops,
formerly known as the Armory buildings.
Considerable damage was done these build-
ings. ‘
The freshct at'Windsor was more destruc-
tive than any, for many years. The Con-
necticut rose 'to a great height, and Mill
brook and other streams rushed in immense
floods on Monday and Tuesday, bearing Off
vast quantities of cattle, corn and other pro
duce. " Two bridges at Mill brook 'were
swept away. From Saturday night to Wed-
nesday no mails reached the place. Be-
tween Windsor and Onion river at BoultOn
were washouts and twenty-two bridges gone.
At Brattlcboro the damage by flood is im-
mense, cstimatedat $400,000. The dam and
tannery in West Brattleboro was washed
out, and the flood swept down with terrific
force through the creek, bearing shops, lum-
ber,'furniturc, parts of houses, and saddest
-of all, persons who lost their lives, one, a
young lady named Barrett. The Connecti-
cut river bridge was swept away, and com-
munication in almost every direct/fin was
cut off. The loss of the bridge near the On
ion river at Bolton, was the greatest imped-
iment to our travel, but although inconve-
nient and vexatious on account of delay,
still we would not have missed that scene
for any amount of comfort.
We were obliged to leave the cars and
walk down the bank of 'thc river through a
wild and picturesque road,“ lighted by Ian:
terns and huge fires burning on either side
of the rivet. Atthe river we took row
to pull back and forth. In this way three-
hundred people were ferried over, as was
also the baggage, Which was, carried by hand
up the opposite steep, the whole thing ac-
complished in about two hours. N ever was
thcrca more jolly, good natured set of peo-
ple than those three
had been on the Ti nearly a Week, yet
they expressed no dis isfaction until they
reached the cars on the opposite side. Here
we found only two cars provided for per-
sori‘who had occupied five upon the other
side. But there was no help for it, and giv-
ing the ladies seats, we improvised a log
seat for ourself, and in that way rode to St.
Albans withoutfurtbcr delay. ‘
But, oh, for a camera and plate, to secure
that picture—the crossing of the Onion river
(what a horrid name). .Yet we shall ever
remember the _march of the three-hundred
down the bank, the lanterns in the trees, the
moving lights, the huge bonfires on either
shore, the rush of the dark and angry flood,
the men at work on the new bridge, also
lighted by huge fires, the whole forming a
weird scene of indescribable grandeur. But
speaking of that camera, reminds us of the
many, many times we wanted it as we pass-
ed through the hills and dales of Connecti-
cut and Vermont. Here are pictures of rare
beauty, lost to the majority of the world for
want of taste in Potographers to the
manor born. -
But we must draw our letter to a close.
Swanton, our present stopping place, is sit-
uated on the Missisqnoi river, nine miles
from St. Albans, enjoys the benefit of tivo
'railway stations, one on the Montreal road,
the other from St. Albans to Rouscs Point,
and at present a third road is in contemplm
tion, the Lamoi-le Valley R. R, running from
Portland to the West. ' '
We hope to leave for home on Monday
next, but as it has rained here for two days,
more bridges may be carried away, and our
return delayed. Pno'rofg-

miles back of Edgartown, living alone in a.
house, situated in a field, some distance frOm

cow, and some dozen hens; these she care-
fully kccps in the house with her nights,—
the cow occupying the best bed room; the
front parlor being stored with hay, for winter
use. The hens have good quarters; these
she has as much regard and affection
for, as most people have for Ltheir children,
sitting up night after night attending to them

STATEMENT.
The schools received last year the following mon-
eys towards their support:—
School Tax 1 4-10 mills, 89,217 88
Common School Fund, 2,733 00
Town Deposit Fund, 496 55
Prom other sources. 256 00
813,703 43
The reported cost of our Schools last
year, . $12,901 27
The cost. overrunning'amounts received
from Town Treasnr 3247 S1:
The estimated cost; of Sghools for the current year,
is $15,000. This amount was appropriated from the
town treasury at the adjourned town meeting, on the
13th inst. As the amounts to be received min the
School Fund and Town'Deposit Fund, when received
are to be paid into the town treasury in part puy<
ment of the above appropriation, and as from these
sources the town will probsbly receive not less than
was received last; year, viz., 53,229 55, the sum applflp-
priatcd is substantially cut down to $11,770 45. e
law of 1869 compels towns to appropriate for schools
a certain amount,—-in the case of Norwalk not less
than $9,807.29,—‘—so in fact the appropriation overruns
the lowest amount required by law onl . $1,963.16.
A tax of 1 and 8-10 mills (last year 1 an 4-10 mllls,)
will, even if there should be no increase in our Grand
List, raise the required amount, and probably 1 and
7-10 mills on the List; to be made will be all the tax
that will be necessary.
The undersigned, by vote of the meeting, was di-
rected to have the foregoing report, together with
this statement made by him, published in the GA-
2211'}: for public information.

029° The New York Sun of Monday, has
the following :—
Ea Two or three months ago the fashionable
world was on tiptoe with the announcement
of the forthcoming marriage of Mr. Willis-
ton B. Lockwood to Miss Isabel Dominick.
The gentleman is a son of the well-known
banker and broker, Le Grand Lockwood,
and his intended a daughter of a wealthy
broker of Wall street. The preparations for
the event were elaborate. The wedding
trousscau, which was from Paris, was very
handsome and costly. There were to be
eight bridesmaids, late schoolmates of the
bride. In the midst of the preparations for
the event, the crash in Wall streetcamc, and
the great house of Lockwood .515 CO, went
under. ‘Mr. Williston Lockwood offered to
release his aflianced from her engagement,
but, being a true woman, she declined to ac-
cept his offer, and Saturday last'was fixed
upon for. the wedding,
It was determined that _thc ceremonial
should be comparatively private, and there-
fore fcw cards were sent out, and those only
to relative and intimate friends.
The marriage was solemnizcd at 10 o’clock ,
a. m., on Saturday in the Church of the In-
' carnation, Madison avenue and thirty-fifth
street, the Rev. Henry E. Montgomer ,
Rector. The altar was very handsome y
decorated with wreaths of evergreens and
natural'flowers.
The bride was dressed in a traveling suit
of brown silk, handsomely trimmed with
brown velvet and ruches, a brown velvet
jacket, and a jockey hat of the same mate-
rial, with brown plume. The church was
well filled with the relatives and acquain-
tances of the bridal party, preminent among
whom were many of the leading financiers
of our great money mart.’ At the conclu-
sion of the ceremony a brief reception was
given at the residence of the bride’s father,
ihEast Twenty-fifth. street. A number of
very handsome presents were received by
the bride. The bridal pair at 5 o’clock
started for Philadelphia. They return to-
day, the presence of the groom being im-
peratively required in this city to aid in the
work of settling the affairs of the firm with
which he is connected.”

pepsia and all the debilltated Conditions of the Stem-

All of those three medicines are often required in
curing Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills assist in regulating the
Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syru to
digest and search through the blood vessels, by w ich
means acure is soon effected.
These medicines are conscientiously offered to the
public as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies
t'orPulmonury Consumption, and for all those mor-
bid conditions 01' the body which lead to that. fatal
disease. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are often
forerunners of Consumption, and when they mani-
fest themselves they require the most prompt atten-
tron.
The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a
long probation before the public. Its value has been
proved by the thousands ot‘cnrcs it has made through
a pcriodof more than thirty years, in all of which
time its reputation has constantly increased, and the
most; obstinate skepticism can no longer doubt. that
it is a remedy which may be used with confidence in
all cases which admit of a euro.
11' the patient will pcrscvcringly follow the direc-
tions which accompany each bottle, he will certainly
be; cured, if his lungs are not. too much wasted to
make a euro possible. Even in cases supposed to be
incurable, when friends and physicians havcdcspair-
ed, the use of this medicine has saved the life of the
patient, and restored him to perfect health. ‘
Dr. Schenck himself was cured in precisely such
clrcumstauccs, and many others have been equally
fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr.
Schcnck’s remedies.
Dr. Schcuck does not. say that; all cases of Pulmo-
nary Consumption arc within the reach of medicine,
but he emphaticly asserts, that often when patients
have the most alarmingsymptoms, such as a violent
cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general de-
bility, even to such a degree that they are obliged
to lie in bed, and when they are given up by their
physician, they may still be cured. No medical treat-
ment can create ncwlungs, but when the lungs are
very badly diseased, and to some extent destroyed, a
cure may be effected by Dr. Schenck’s medicines.
Also, lli Scrofulous diseases tllcse,mcdicincs are
equally efficient. Dr. Schcnck has photographs of a
number of persons who have been nearly covered
with running sores, and now all healed up. This
shows its purifying propertiesnvhich must be done to
heal cavities in the lungs,
In the treatment of Consumption, it is of the ut-
most importance to give vigor and a healthy tone to
the system. Hence it is necessary to strengthen the
appetite of the patient and improve the digestion.
Proper nourishment is required, together with ,such
means as will make the food easily digestible, The
articles most suitable for the diet of consumptive pa-
tients are designated in Dr. Schcuck’s Almanacs,
which are distributed gratuitously. In general, the
most highly nutritious articles are to be preferred; but
the digestive organs must be strengthened in order to
make either food or medicine serviceable. This re-
quirement is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, and for this
purpose it was (lcsiWncd.
When the digestive or ans are put in good order,
the food has its proper ct ‘cct, the system of the pa-
tient. is invigorated, and the lungs begin to. exercise
their functions in a normal and healthy manner.
Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will
complctc'thc cure.
Pulmonary Consumption is almost always compli-
cated with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Dr.
Schenclc’s Mandrake Pill are intended to remove ob-
structions from the liver and restore its healthy ac-
tion. They have all the etllcacy which is ascribed to
calomel or “blue mass,” and are warranted not to
contain a particle of any mineral poison. These pills
cure the most obstinate costivencss, sick headache,
piles, bilious affections, and all other diseases which
arise from a torpid or obstructed condition of the liv-
er. One box of these pills will prove the cfllcacy o
the medicine. ‘
In Consumption, the Sea Weed Tonic and Man-
drake Pills areinvaluable auxiliary medicines. They
relieve the sufl‘crings of the patient and assist the
Pulmonic Syrup in effecting a cure. They have been
found useful in advanced stages of Cousum tion,
where the lungs were almost entirely destroyc , and
all symptoms, according to physicians, indicat ed
speedy death. The lives of patients who were actual-
ly in a dying condition have been preserved for
months by the use of Schcnck’s three "rear. remedies.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
WALrnAn, 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 cough which had affected me 18
months; 12 months after my cough commenced, can-
cers begun in both breasts, which grew rapidly for
six months, hardcanccrous lumps in _both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer 111 each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroy me first. I had suffered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
tcd cancer mineral Spring water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfectly well fortwo months; no
cough or cxpcctoration; 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.

At the Cape of Good Hope the Ilptientols have lone
used Bconu for a variety of diseases ; it was borrower
from those rude practitioners by the English and
Dutch physicians, on whose recommendation it was
employed in Europe, and has now comeunto general
use. -It is given chiefly in gravel, chronic catarrh of
the bladder, morbid irritation of the bladder and are-
iher. for female weakness and debillty, for prola isus
and carintr down, or prolupsus uteri, diseases 0 the
prostrate g and, retention or incontinpnce of urine,
and all diseases requiring the aid of a diuretic arising
from a loss of tone in the parts concerned in its evac-
uation. It is also recommended in cases of dyspepsia
chronic rheumatism, cutaneous :rfi‘cczious and dropsy.
To cure these diseases we must bring into action the
muscles which are engaged in their various functions.
To neglect them, however slight may be the attack, it
is sure to affectthc bodily health and mental powers.
.Our flesh and blood are supported from these sources.
Persons at every period of life, from infancy to old

is the anchor of hope to the physician, and was always
so esteemed by the late eminent Dr. Physic. The
