WATER I HEATER! !
That there is nothing so ncedful for the
health, convenience and safety of the Bor-
ough oI‘Norwalk, as a copious and never-
.failing supply of'purc water, all ' admit. In
' the matters of keeping down the dust in our
streets, in promoting the growth and beau-
ty of our lawns, in security from fires, &e.,
die, water is an absolute necessity. We have
written so .nmch on the subject and devoted
somnch time and attention to the matter,
without awakening any corresponding in-
terest in the public mind, that we almost
despair of seeing anything done which shall
cousamm}; to the enterprise. A private com-
pany could build the works and sell the wa-
ter and make tw’enty-five per cent. divi-
dends on the capital invested. But would
this behest for the people? In the hands
of aiprivate corporation, the pipes would
be run only avlgcre there was a large demand
for the watcrE If the Borough owned’ and
controlled it, the pipes‘would or shouldbe
run wherever there were citizens enough to
' use it, to pay intereston wear and tear and
cost. Well organized and prudently con- ‘
ducted, the Borough could own and run the
water works in a manner 'so as to pay ev-
ery doilar ofour local taxation and although
we should not apprOvc this method, we be;
have a majority of the citizens and property
holders in the Borough would gladly see it
done.
When we consider the almost endless
uses to which this water would be applied
asa motive power for small manufactories
and the inevitable demand that .would be
made for it, for sewing machinc,lathe, drill,
sawing, turning, and the like, is it not as-
tonishiug that capitalists have so long been
indifferent to the subject?
Silver Mine brook is unquestionably the”
best source of supply. Beside béing of pure
and cold spring origin, it is of never-failing
supply, and would give us a head here at
the Bridge of nearly two hundred feet. A
large reservoir should be erected near the
Pliny Daniels Mill and :Tsecondary one on
some point on the crest of Prospect Hill,
from which mains could easily and cheaply
be run all about our Borough 'and also
throughout South Norwalk. In this view
we heartily second the proposition to incor-
porate South N orwalk under a city charter.
Our two municipal organizations could and
should unite in the issuing of bonds, on
long time, stiflicient to meet the .required
outlay involved in introducing water
throughout both villages. Thus the pecuni-
ary obligations will be divided and lighten-
ed, the consumption increased, the revenues
augmented and the general welfare promo—
‘ted. ‘May we not hope for some earnest,
concerted effort towards this much needed
consummation, this present summer .9
[33“ Several petty. thefts of flowcrs,’vases,
&c., from the graves of loved ones in the
Cemetery. It hardly seems possible that
any human being could be so_ lost to all
sensibility as to rob a grave—~Yet even so
sacred an emblem as a cross was stolen
from one grave recently. This lawlessness
is of a part with cutting fences, girdling
trees and the like,‘but, so much worse that
,it is painful to record the fact.

joy a ride in a beautiful. new carriage just
built for him by I. S. Tuttle, successor to

delightful to ride in, as it was handsome to
look at. It seemed to us constructed in the.
most thorough manner, but was as light and
elegant as it could ‘ possibly be made con-
sistent with a proper degree of strength.
Certainly when such elegant vehicles can be,

the bath which many of our ‘merchants
thoughtlessly indulge in of throwing paper
into the streets. The worst ofi'enders seem
to be the Dry Goods ‘(lealers who unpack
their boxes on 'thc‘sidewalk and throw the
waste paper away. This apparently harm-
]ess- practice is really dangerous, as the pa-
'per is caught up by the wind and blown
around the streets, scaring horses and thus
putting the lives-and property of our citi-
zens in jeopardy. Merchants having their
attention called to the matter will undoubt-
edly put an. end to the practice,. but if not
the public should interfere. '

The well-known Savv'and Grist Millbelong-
ing to Mr. Allan Belts, located hear the
Newtownturnpik‘c, ashort distance above
St. Paul’s Church, was totally destroyed by
on Tuesday night last. . The flames were
discovered in a. pile of seasoned slabs, east
side of the mill, about 10 1-2 o’clock, and the
alarm was sounded. The flames were also
seen by the Captain of the City oleorwalk
who gave the alarm at the Bridge by vigor-
ously sounding his new mammoth whistle,
and the Fire partment tu‘rnad out prompt-
ly, drawing e steamer and other aparatus
to the mill, a distance of nearly a mile. Ar-
riving there, the steamer was all ready to go
to‘work, with a full head-of steam .on, and
the firemen had one stream on the fire in
mil], however, was in flames the entire
length, and the adjoining dwelling had a]-
ready caught fl‘rc, throwing out intense heat,
and making it fully evident that neither
could be saved, so the firemen,‘at Mr. Betts’
request, bent their energies to save the- two
water ,wheels, which were of much value.
The firemen fought the fire desperately with
their only stream, and finally succeeded in
subduiug theflames at that point so thatthe
gates could be opened an the wheels started.
About half past~ twelve the engine was com-
pelled to change position and go to the
pond above the mill, and more hose having
arrived, two splendid streams were put on
and kept up steadily until about four o’clock
a. m., doing fine execution. ' ‘ »
The 'Mill 93d dwelling were totally de-
stroyed. One-wheel, which cost $1,000 was
found to be quite badly injured, and may
cost about $20010 repair ; the other wheel,
costing $700 was not much damaged. '
' .The Mill was Q2196 feet, withlong sheds,
and contained a'large 'stock Of lumber, tim.
ber, grain, '&c. Six' hundred bushels ‘of
grain was destroyed. Mr. Belts estimates
the total loss at from $12,000 to $15,000';
insured for $2,300—-'$600 in Norwalk Com—
pany and $1700 in Etna of Hartford.
The fire was undoubtedly. incendiary.
Mr. Edwin Carter who has had charge of
the'Mill for a year past, and who lived in
the dwelling, returned ' from the village
‘about 10 o’clock, looked around the Mill and
finding nothing wrong, went to bed and to
’sleep. His wife hearing a'crack'ling noise
outside, soon after, raised the curtain and.
discovered the fire.
The Mill had been run that day for saw-
ing and grinding, but there had been no
fire, and no match lit on the premises.
The loss is "a severe one for Mr. Bette, and
he has the deep. sympathy of the commu-
nity.

TAKE YOUR Cannon—They have a singu-
lar custom says a' correspondent, at the
Foundling H ital of Annunziata, Naples,
on the 25th of, arch (Lad ’3 Day), or- the
Fests-dc]? Annunziata. “ ~ a budding is
thrown open to the puplic, and any . oung
man who wishes can provide himse with
a. wife, in case he can prove to the satisfac-
tion of the, authorities of the institutionlhat
he is able to maintain her. All the girls
who have arrived at a marriageable age are
drawn up in line in. one of the large rooms,
where the cavaliers are allowed to enter.
A regular inspection then, we 'suppose,
commences, from right to left front 'and
rear. Some prefer dark beauties, of course,
and others blondes, and each is allowed to
suit his owu particular taste and fancy.
When smitten the swain drops his pocket-
handkerchief in front of the. lady of his
choice, and if the suit is accepted she picks
it up and they walk off arm in arm to sig-
nify their intention to the authorities ahd
.make the necessary reliminaries previoui
to their marriage. he bride receives a
small sum of mOney by way of dowry,
and I few necessaries which comprise her
trousseau, a few sheets and a blanket or
two; These marriages, contrary to what
one would naturally suppose generally turn
' out happily."
