, There is no branch of business enterprise
h Opening a more inviting field, or offering a
better remuneration here ‘ in Norwalk than
that of a village laundry. Such an estab-
lishment properly equipped and conducted
would {pr ave an incalCulable convenience
and benefit to our people and most Certainly
' pay the proprietors. We need one so equip-
ped as to be capable of taking family as well
as individual washing, and doing it well,
for a price as low as it could be done in the
family. This is successfully accomplished
elsewhere and does away with much of the
expense and misery of keeping incapable
and intprovident servants. There are large
numbers of families in our village which
would be glad to dispense with servants a1-
together, could they rely upon having the
weekly wash well done at a fair price out-
side. Others would be glad to save their
servants the labor and their houses the tur-
moil of washing, if it could thus be hired
done at a first-class laundry, while hundreds
of single persons would gladly patronize .it.
A very finely adapted property is now va-
cant and could be prepared for a laundry at
a small cost. We refer to the straw hat man—
ufactory, lately occupied by Dr. Overheiser.
There is an abundance of pure soft water at
hand and a steam engine and boilers al-
ready set, as We learn, and we really hope
some competent person seeking remunera-
tive business will at once inaugurate this as
s new local industry. There is none other
more needed.
W Wednesday lust, seems to have been
a peculiarly unfortunate day for us. Two
quite serious accidents occurred, one to Mr.
Fitch Raymond, who was out hunting, and
in attempting to burn out a couple of squir-
rels from their hole with powder, came very
near destroying both his eyes by a prema-
ture explosion. His face and eyes are badly
burned, but the sight, very fortunately, is
not seriously injured. It was a very narrow
escape. '
About two o’clock in the afternoon Mr.
Charles Scllcck was standing beneath a
piece of roof which was about to be removed,
ill conse ueuce of an extension of the story,
when it suddenly gave way and fell upon
him. His arm was broken near the shoul-
tICl‘, aha the leg also. His healthy,
robust constitution will, no doubt, save him
-lrom a long and serious siege of imprison-
lncnt. He had been enlarging his school
building and throwing a French roof over a
connecting portion of the dormitories, and
it was the removal of the inner and discard-
ed roof from which he so narrowly escaped
a fatal catastrophe. ‘
We are glad to know that this accident
will not interfere with the conduct of his
school.

THE Curitiba—In 1850, as will be seen by
reference to the table published in our last
weeks issue. IN orwalk was the 13th town in
the State ill point of population, the towns
standing as follows: New Haven, Hartford,
Norwich, New London, Bridgeport, Middlcv
town, Danbury, Plainfield, Stonington, Wa-
terbury, Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk.
County wise, it will be seen that we occu-
pied the 5th place. In 1860 we were 8th
inthe Sta to, having passed Stamford, Green-
, wieh, Stonington,Plainfie1d and Danbury,
and taken the 2d place in rank .in county.
Now we have passed Middletown and New
London, and stand .the 6th in the State, as
followsz—New Haven, Hartford, Bridge
port, Norwich, Waterbury and Nor-walk.
New London has fallen from the fourth to
the tenth place. New Haven and Hartford
have retained their lead. Bridgeport has
been crowding forward until it has obtained
the third place. .

Some of our readers lire doubtless aware.
that a series of meetings have lately been
held in the larger towns of this State for the
Purpose of showing to our citizens the work
of the Sheffield Scientific School, and its re-
lations to capital, the industrial arts, educa~
tion,-ond the general progress of the com-
munity. Last week, on Monday such a
meeting was held at Bridgeport, in the Sn-
perior Court room, and on Friday, alike
gathering was held in Danbury. Meriden,
Norwalk and‘Stamerd are tobe visited this
and next week. These meetings are intended
for business men, and they are usually of
such an informal conversational character as
to be highly interesting to those who attend.
Although the Sheffield College at New
Haven has rapidly grown during 'the last
few years, and though it trains in a thor-
pugh and liberal manner young men for
the modern calling of society, yet its aim
and objects are not half understood by our
peeple. It is so new a phase ofliberal edu-
cation that it needs explanation. _ Where i
is understood it is appreciated and valued.
The Norwalk meeting will be held in the
rooms of the Norwalk Insurance Company
at half-past seven, Tuesday evening, Nov.
8th. All gentlemen interested will be wel-
corned.

W The first lecture before the Y. M. C.
A., by Dr. .JVilletts, was one of those pleas-
ant things which makes an hour in the lee-
ture-room one of delight rather than instruc-
tion. His model wife was a most captivat-
ing'picture, and we thought we could count
several in the audience, who conjectured at.
least, that they possessed one. He did not
say much about “model husbands,” on the
prifitciple, probably, that the least said about
them, the better. Then again, Mark Twain
says a public writer and lecturer should
about, so that he may treat it with impartial-
ity. We fear equally perfect husbands
could only be found “on the other side of
Jordan,” if found at all. ,There was a fine
audience, and we observed a party of twen
ty from Darien, who came over in an omni
bus, cscOrted by the enterprising M. E. Mead,
of course.

W The past few days have been prolific
of strange phenomenal” Auroras, earth-
quakes, meteors and remarkable marriages,
and threatened eclipses.
and in broad day-light, an enormous meteor-
was seen by many, passing them east to
west, apparently but a very short distance
above the earth. One man in Wilton, who
saw it says, its train of fire and smoke was
as large as a barrel and thirty miles long.
At all events the smoke was visable for ten
minutes after the meteor’s disappearance,
and our Wilton thiend at one time was
afraid it was going to hit him. The same
phenomenon was witnessed at Hartford, En-
field, and in several towns in New Hamp~
shire. “’Tis strange, what hath so wrought
the times out 0‘ joint.”

“ Snons.”—In the price of no other com-
modity or necessity of life are the people
more justified in complaining than at prices
which rule for coverings of the feet. Boots
and shoes are nearly if not quite as high to-
day as when gold was 2:80, and while the
price of skilled labor in the manufacture of
shoes has sensibly diminished, yet the high-
est war prices'still rule. The retail dealers
know this as well as anybody else, and are
indeed more injured by these high prices
than are their customers, yet they are pow-
erless to correct the evil. It seems to lie
far back in thé speculating monopolists who
own and control the leather market of the
United states. At all events a reform is de-
mttndcd.

- Sr. Lorne, August 24, 1870.
DEAR GAznTTn, :- ~
In my previous letter I did not, give no-
selftime to mention all that was interesting
in and around St. Louis; for as you know,
it is a big city. I have passed a number of
times down and up the river as far as Car-
ondolet, apiece famous for the building ofa
fleet of gunbcats during the late rebellion,
which were placed under command of our
own Commodore Foot; afterWards sailing
down the river to Cairo and up the Ohio,
the Tennessee and Cumberland, combining
with General Grant’s forces, capturing
Forts Donaldson and Henry from the rebels,
an event which filled every loyal heart with
joy. Clst of August, it will be remembered
that this day nine years ago General Fre-
mont, having then the command of the
army of the West, proclaimed confiscation
of property and freedom of the slaves in St.
Louis. And while a thousand scenes of the
war, which occurred in this city, came up
to‘my mind, my heart swelling with patriot-
ism and loyalty, a strong desire prompted'
me to ride out to view the ground in the.
upper partof the city, called Camp Jackson,
and where the garrison was drilled in the
Summer of ’01, under command of the? rebel
Gen. Price, Whose object proved to be the
capture of St. Louis; but as providence or-
dered it, our own Gen. Lyon was on hand,
discovered the treason and captured the
whole garrison with their leader, the trai-
tor Price. ‘ . .
It has been my lot to make another trip
to Carondolet, and while there, I was shown
the beautifill country 'seat of the Hon. Mr.
Blow, Ex—mcmbcr of ’ Congress from this
District, and now representing our govern-
ment at the Court of Brazil. His grounds
are beautifully laid out, and highly orna-
mented with flowers andshrubs, and is de-
sirably situated on a beautiful eminenc
West of the river. _ -.
* .It was also my lot to ride out to the cele-
brated-betanical flower garden of the Hon.
- Mr. Shaw; it is indecd,a‘ charming spot,
throngedcverypleasant day with crowds
Cf visitors. Shrubs and plants, and every
variety of. flowers n-om all parts ofthe globe ;
rare and beautiful beyond anything of the
kind that has ever met my eyes, embracing
every kind of tropical fi-uit that be thought
of or imagined by; mortal man.
We rambled over the. ten or fifteen. acres
of ground till we were struck with wonder
and amazement. I should be most happy to
give you a description of the scene hutI
have not the language to do it; I'can only
borrow from Webster’s big dictionary two
of his strongest adjectives and couple them
together, to give the faintest idea of its
beauty and charm, magnificmt! splendid!
The grounds in order to be duly appreciated
musr be seen, and should it ever be your lot
to visit ,St.'Louis please enquire for Shaw’s
Botanical Garden, and at the entrance en-
_quire for Mr. Shaw himself, if he is on hand
he will; probably invite. you to his ofilce,
and very politely ask you to enter your
name upon his list of visitors, for you will
find him to be a most afiable and polite gen-
tleman; and although he had his birth on
the Island'of Great Britain, and though his
'choice is to live a life Cf single blessed’ness,
he is not _forgetful to entertain strangers.
When you get weary of looking on ‘the
charming beauties, of ' the endless varieties
of blossoms, and conclude to leave for your
lodgings (for it will take you ten hours to
get through,) please raise your eyes a little
above the level and you will discover the
following words in raised letters on the
Lmarble front ofhil hot-house, where he cul-
tivates his tropical fruits :—
“Glory to God in the highest,
0n earth peace, good-will to man.”
I can, at this time, mention but one other
curiosity which came‘to my knowledge,viz;
a most remarkable well belonging to Mr.
Belcher, the great sugar refiner. I was in-
formed the well was drilled down over
three thousand feet in pursuit of Clear water,
which flows very briskly and spontaneous-
ly through a lead pipe one inch in diame-
ter, and has run continually for‘ several
years, pure and transparent, but strongly
impregnated with salt and‘sulphur equal to
the best mineral waters of Saratoga. Many
people come and fill jugs‘ and bottles and
carry it home for medical purposes. This
well is situated on the bank of the river, not
far from the famous bridge now in progress
of building to span the mighty river at St.
Louis, and which, when done, will connect
with the Illinois shore,and facilitate the trav-
el by railroad,carriage or foot people; its es-
timated cost is seven millions of dollars.

wWe think not. The “ Grampuses”
have always paid their debts promptly, and
if there are any bills outstanding the fact is
not known to the members. At the end of
the last cmiso, in accordance with the cus-
tom of the club, all bills were carefully au-
dited, and an assessment made more than
suficient, as the members were' assured, to
meet all demands, and the money was paid
