WATER AT LAST I
The citizens of our Borough at the public
caucus held at Norwalk Hall on Wednesday
evening, put in nomination, Messrs. Thos.
H. Morison, Samuel Lynes, M. D. and Wm.
R. James, as Water Commissioners, and
Chas. H. Street, Cashier of the Fairfield Co.
- Bank, as Treasurer. These selections were
made without regard to party affiliations
and with a sincere and honest regard for
their fitness for the respective positions ; and
the very large meeting adjourned with the
utmOst apparent harmony and unanimity of
feeling. Thfielection which followed on
Friday, developed some opposition to the
regular ticket and three others were put into
the field. This movement seems to have
had its inspiration in personal antipathies
and a sort of rivalry, which seems to have
cropped out of late between our two great
financial institutions. The extent of the
disafl‘ectiou, and result of the vote, is as fol-
lows :—
Commissioners.
Thomas H. Morison, 299
Samuel Lynes, M. D., ’ 291
William K. James, 275
W illiam Hands, 23
Jonathrn Camp, 16.
li-sasurers of Water Funds.
Charles H. Street, ' 264

Although quite a scare was at first occa-
sioncd the regular ticket champions, it soon
became apparent that there was no cause
for alarm, and the result proved it far more
insignificant still. The very best temper
was maintained through the balloting, and
for once the spectacle was witnessed of a
great public interest being conserved en-
tire] y freed‘from partizan influences. After
the poll was closed and the result announced,
a meeting was called to act upon the provi-
sions of the Charter, in regard to issuing of
Borough Bonds, and the following vote was
passed without a single dissenting voice :
VOTED. That the Board of Water Com-
missioncrs of the Borough, be, and they are
hereby authorized to issue and sell Bonds of
the Borough to be denominated on the face
thereof, “Water Fund of the Borough of
Norwalk,” to an amount not exceeding in
the whole the sum Of $100,000, and such
time or times as may be deemed neces-
sary and expedient by such Board of Water
Commissioners, for the purpose of defray-
ing the cost of construction 'of the Public
Water Works of the Borough, and the ex-
penses incident thereto, in accordance with
the provisions of an act entitled “an act to
provide a supply of pure and wholesome
water to the Borough of Norwalk,” passed
by the General Assembly of this State at its
last Session, 1870, and accepted by the Bor-
ough in legal meeting assembled on the 24th
day of August, 1870. Said Bonds shall bear
interest at the rate of .07 per cent. per an-
nual, payable semi-annually, and the princi-
pal of said Bonds shall be payable abso-
lutely at the end of 25 years, but the Bor-
ough shall have an optional rightto redeem
and pay the same at any time after 15 years
from the\date Of the issue thereof. The
Warden and Clerk of the Borough are here-
by authorized and directed to sign and
countersign said Bonds tO an amount not
exceeding in the whole the said sum of
$100,000, at such time or times as may be
directed by said Board of Water Commis-
sioners.
We cannot refrain from reiterating our
hearty satisfaction at this final consumma-
tion of what has always seemed to us the
greatest public benefit in which Norwalk has
ever been engaged. Its gravity and value
cannot well be exaggerated. Long aflcr
the generations now peopliug this beautiful
town have gone to'their graves, this intro-
duction of pure and abundant water will'
continue to flow and prosper, and bless the
thousands who shall come after us.
Our citizens, one and all are to be congrat-
ulated that so cautious and discreet agents
have become interested with 'what so seri-
ously concerns us in the financial adminis-
tration of the work. These names are a
guarantee against extravagance on the one
hand or sloth on the other.
Now to the work, instant and earnest!
WPic-nics and excursions have been the
order of the day for the past week. A large
Excursion party from Oyster Bay visited
Roton Point last Wednesday, and a land
party from Rhode Island. On Thursday a
party came down from Meriden, and seemed
to have had a “good time" of it at the same
charming grove. The children of the M. E.
Sabbath School of New Canaan, were also
made happy there the same day.
Almost a Murder!
That terrible and inexcusably dangerous
railroad crossing at South Norwalk came
within a hair Of killing the Rev. J. J. Wool-
ey, of Merideu, on Wednesday evening last.
He had just stepped out of Sword’s clothing
store upon the track to cross, when the
down train came upon him, and but for a
. stranger who rushed to him and pulled him
from the track, he must inevitably have
been crushed. He heard a call to him, but
looked towards the depot from whence the
shout came instead of eastward at the rush-
ing train. When will President Bishop re-
deem his thus far forfeited word and have
gates erected here ? '

The New York Tribune issued a special
edition on Sunday last giving full details of
the surrender Of Napoleon from its .own Eu-
ropean correspondents. It must again have
paid over $2,000 in gold, for the cable dis-
patch contained in this single paper.

cent house on the crest of the hill within
his own homestead enclosure. He has sur-
rounded his place with a most substantial

house is also among his improvements. Not
less than a hundred thousand dollars will
have been expended on this property the

Bundle’s Island orphan children a grand pic-
nic excurson up to his Palace in Greenwich,
on Friday last. There were about 250 boys
and about 100 little girls, accompanied by
various city Officials. They were accom-
panied on the steamer by Graffula's Band,
and were received at Greenwich by the
"Boss” in fln‘e style. A most sumptuous re-
past was furnished the little people, and at
.about3 p. m. they returned to New York.
The new city government of South Nor-

NAPOLEON A PRISONER!
His Army Demolished :
IMPERIALISM COLLAPSED.
The startling news of Saturday evening,
confirmed on Sunday, strikes the public
mind more like romance than the reality it
undoubtedly is. It is but six weeks since
war was declared by Napoleon and but four
weeks since he left Paris with the proud and
glittering armies Of Sunny France, for an
maasz’on of the Prussian territories. But
alas for the best laid_ schemes of the ambi-
tious monarch l to-day he is a prisoner, his
dynasty and family power forever collapsed,
and his name a by-word and hissing among
the nations. The saddest part Of this whole
tragic affair is the horrible slaughter, the
terrible wounds, the anguish of bereave-
meuts, homes desolated, and the misery
which war always entails. This war has
been particularly and unprecedentedly san-
guinary. All will rejoice that it is brought
to an end thus suddenly. King William has
behaved the statesman and soldier through-
out. All his despatchcs have been truthful,
dignified and reverent. Those from the
French armies have proved tissues of gas-
conade and falsehood. -
Let us devoutly thank God that this “bold,
bad" man, has thus early terminated his ca-
reer, “conceived in sin" and continued in
iniquity. He has strangled liberty at home,
and menaced every other European power,
until the peoples are ground to earth, with
the taxation caused by the standing armies
he has compelled each nation to keep in the
field. His pretext for war with Prussia was
frivolous and contemptible. He thought to
take the King nuawares, but a wise and just
God has ordained otherwise, and tO-day his
mad career is at an end.
THE EMPIRE ENDED!
Monday afternoon’s despatches repdrt the
wildest excitement in Paris, the populace
everywhere shouting for a Republic. The
Corps Legislatiff has decreed unanimously
that the Empire is at an end, and that the
the Napoleons chave forfeited all rights to
throne. An Amsterdam telegram as-
serts that the flight of the Prince Imperial
is erroneous and that he became a prisoner
with his father. Minister Washburn tele-
graphs the State Department confirming the
above and says the excitement 111 Paris is
intense. ‘ ‘ '

Our highways, both in town and Borough

past. There is little excuse for the town
roads, being quite so bad and less excuse for
the bad condition of the Borough streets.
The few rods from Isaac’s Hill to the Dan-
bury Railroad Depot is abominable and
should at once commend the attention of
the authorities.
Lack of Water.
The Union Co. have to shut down three or
four times a day in consequence of a lack of
water. There is a good time coming for the
mill owners on the line of the Silver Mine
stream, in the event that the borough reser-
voirs that stream for its water supply. It,
has been proved beyond all contradiction
that by erecting the proper reservoirs, not
only will there be an abundance for the bor-
ough use, but the mills will have more water
in their ponds than ever before. This is ex-
plained on the principle of holding back the
water that otherwise runs into and is lost in
the sea.

Jeopardy.
The citizens of South Norwalk and all
others who have occasion to use the roads
crossing the Railroad track at South Nor-
walk, are in jeopardy every hour, for there
is scarcely tin hour during the day that en—
glues or trains are not passing over the road
at that place; and the s‘ream of foot and
carriage travel is constant, and there is no
gate or guard to prcvont accidents. My at-
tention has been called to this point partic-
ularly, because I came within a single step
last Tuesday evening of being crushed by a
locomotive at that very place. If there had
been a gate there at the time, I should not
have run the risk that I did. The safety of
the people and thc‘inlcrcsts Of the Railroad
Companies demand protection against acci-
dents against this, onc of the most exposed
points along the whole line. J. J. W.

A correspondent sends us the following,
after examination of the records. Is he cor-
rect?
- «Where is it?
The Borough of Norwalk measures on
the map 3 3-4 square miles, or 2,400 acres.
There are 597 houses, shops, stores, and fac-
torys returned on tax list of1870. By allow-
ing each 1 acre, we would have 1,803 acres
left; yet calling each building lot on the
list one acre, all the land returned would be
but 598 acres, taxed valuc'$176,150, leaving
1,205 acres untaxed, which at the same pro-
portionate value would be $334,835. N o

the first class requirement, which caused so
much quibbling and contention, that a spe-
cial class was made called “Class A 1,” and
an impromptu prize of $25 to the 1st, and
$10 to the 2nd offered. In this class the
Louise and Katy Did only were entered,

baffling throughout the contest. The Timers

company, aMr. Clark of the Clark House,
opposite the South Norwalk depot, essaycd
to fire off his pistol, which he succeeded in

GREAT GOOD FROM A SMALL GIFT—A
missionary of the American Sunday School
Union in Missouri, was enabled, by a dona-
tion of $10 from a Presbyterian Sunday
School ill New York, to establish a Sunday
School in the “ Wolf School House,” in a
cOmmunity where no attention was paid to
the Sabbath; the young people spending
tllatday in hunting, fishing, dancing; and
little boys only ten or twelve years old,
“swearing like sailors.” The people were
poor and unable to buy a Sunday School
library; but the gift of it greatly encouraged
them, and the result was the gathering of a
Sunday School of 50, which has increased
to 105, and is still growing and accomplish-
ing much good. A great change for the bet-
ter has already taken place in the commu-
nity. ' '
