. norms AND HQMESTEADS.
If there be any one thing, which more
than another, causes us an especial gratifi-
cation in the results of our recent census, it
is the.fact developed, that here in Norwalk,’
we Ila-w a greater mmzberof residences in pro-
portion to our inhabitants, than in any other
town of equal population. Of course our
growth, which is three fold greater to-day
than in 1850, and 4,540 more than in 1800,
is a cause of justsfiable pride and great sat-
isfaction. But a population of over twelve
thousand souls is not so indicative of our
material strength, soundness and prosperity
as the near three thousand separate dwell-
ing-houses, by far the major portion of which
are owned as well as occupied by the citizen.
Especially and emphatically may it be said,
that in few, or indeed any manufacturing
town of 0’?l‘ State, do so large a population
of the poorer classes of society, the mechan-
ics and (lay-laborers, own £726 houses they live
in. This is not indicative Of economical liv—
ing and a tendency to wealth alone. It be-
speaks much for good morals and good citi-
ship. The tact is full of most hopeful sig-
nificance. During the past three years, with
all mechanical labor high and all building
naterial extravagantly so, there have been
a marvelous number of neat, cosey little
cottages erected—the happy and tasteful
homes of our working, producing classes.
There have been quite large numbers of the
more pretentious class of residences, also
erected. But even these, while they give
an air of superior means and possibly more
refinement and culture, do not so unmistak-
ably mark the real and substantial thrift
and prosperity of a town, as the modest cot-
tag: houses of those who get their bread in
the divinely appointed way, by the sweat of
their b rows. Our merchants and shop-keep-
ers know full well, that the patronage of a
family of one sober, industrious factory op-
erative, who earns and spends his money
here week by week, is worth more than the
rich man’s, whose means and especially his
tastes, incline him to purchase in New York
and by wholesale.
the suburbs or where the dwellings we des-
cribe most abound without a sense of local
pride at these evidences of the laboring
man’s good condition and our town’s assured
prosperitya; indissolubly 'connccted there-
with. So too, we have come to look upon
every builder, or man of means, who erects
a house, for himself first, and others after-
ward, as a public benefactor. All along our
hillsides, dotting our plains and enlivening
our valleys, are to be seen these evidences
of thrift to which we refer, carrying with
them all the sanctities of home, the ambi-
tions of ownership in the land, the dignity
and stabilty Of good citizenship. Every fam-
ily, however humble, or depressed their cir-
cumstances otherwise, who are the lords of
their own shelter, are lifted up to a higher
plane of exiitence and their sobriety, indus-
try and integrity of character stimulated
and guarded thereby. We hope the prac-
tice of house building so creditable, so hon-
orable, to the ambitions of our laboring men
will be continued in and encouraged by all
who may exert such influence, and every'
facility extended to those wishing to secure
homes. In no other way can the high du-
ties of the citizen. be so clearly brought‘to
their consideration and understandings.
Every man with a family, should own' the
house that shelters him,where it is possible.
It is better to deny one’s self in other mat-
ters of life, and submit to the most rigid
economies to secure this boon. If need be,
it is justifiable and even commendable in
most cases to run in debt for a “home.” If
a man is to be encouraged in getting in
debt for anything, surely it should be for a
house to shelter his wife and little ones.‘
A most gratifying public sentiment pre-
vails here in N orwalk, in respect to this
matter. No sober, industrious and upright.
man, need fail of assistanbe in procuring a
house of his own to live in. We doubt it
anywhere else, it is as easy for a man'of
small means to secure a home, and we re-
joice at this most mmmendable phase of
popular sentiment, so beneficient in practice.
Individual citizens, whom we could name,
' have done very much to create and .foster
this state of feeling. Our savings bank too,
has of late shown a wise and most praise.
worthy public spiritedness in this direction.
Its vast monicd resources have aided in'the
erection of hundreds of happy homes, which
but for its assistance, would never have
been built. A very large number of the
pleasant and inviting homes, now beauti-
fying all sections of our town, are the direct
fruits of the aid furnished by our bank.
Nothing could better promote the interests
of its depositors than in thus promofipg and
making assured the financial prosperity of
the community. We rejoice at the good
judgement and public spiritedness thus dis-
played by its managers.
With our population of over twelve thous-
and, with our healthful locality and beauties
of situation and scenery unequaled, we shall
, continue to grow. Withour spirit of enterprise
so manifest in all the departments ofpro-
ductive skill and industry, and the innumr
crablc inducements Norwalk has to attract
population, we are confident of the truth of
the prediction, that our. growth the next di’
each: will be far greater than it has been in
the past. Let new citizens continue to
come and settle down among us and may
they catch the prevailing fever of securing
homes also, and thus shall Norwalk again
outstrip, in the future, as in the past, all the
other towns of the State. There need be no
fear of overstocking the market with houses.
with the great metropolis of the nation on
the one side, andethe. thousands of restless
interior Yankees all eager to come down
and settle along the seabord. As to day,there
are fewer homeless ones here than elsewhere
in Connecticut, so may it ever continue to
be. Let every resident feel the dignity of
his citizenship augmented by being a free;
holder—an owner of the “house” that he
lives in. It conserves good citizenship: it
promotes thrift; and be it ever so lowly, in-
spires all men, not besotted, with a zeal to
do and to endure ; inspiring every man with
the proud ambition for higher attainments
in all commendable virtues.

The Nelly White.
Our favorite little steamer made her last
trip from Norwalk yesterday,'and now runs
daily from Stamford instead. Those who
still desire to patronize her, can do so by
taking the quarter to Seven :1. in. train down
to Stamford, and returning, can take the
train leaving Stamford eight minutes before
six, arriving here at twelve minutes past six
p. m., thus getting a fine sail in addition to’
the car ride, at a dollar less than all car fare.
Mr. White has a new steamer now on the
stocks to be finished for next season’s cam-
paign. She is to’be light of draft and very
fast. Just the thing needed for this route,
and we vote to have her, and that he swap
off the name ofhis propeller and designate
the pretty new steamer “City of Norwalk.”
Then with our Horse Railroad extended to
Wilson’s Point, where it should terminate,
we would have a“Paralle1” in spite of neigh-
bor Bishop’s purchase of our Legislature.
TREES FOR THE BOROUGH.-—We are sur-
prised -as well as pleased, at the very general
seconding of our suggestion that our bor-
ough officers order all property owners to set
continuous lines of shade trees along all the
highways of the borough. If this were done
what a charming feature it would prove.—
Who can compuiethe value such a feature
would add to our real estate ten years from
now.

'WThc American Institute Fair in New
York_closed on Saturday evening last,—
Prof. Benj. Silliman,ot Yale College, and
Horace Greely, President Of the Association,
delivered addresses. The Fair has been
very successful.
We never ride around,
'l‘hc' Oyster Business.
It is estimated that therejvare in Norvtralk
at least fifty men who get their livelihood
by oystering from the public grounds, and
at least one hundred more, who work upon
their planted bottoms. Those. fishing on
public grounds are said to take from two to
eight bushels per day, and of coui‘se those
taking up planted ones, are limited mainly
by the quantities necessary to fill their 01'-
ders. In all, there cannot be far from one
thousand bushels of oysters per day taken
from the waters of NOrwalk Harbor.
NEW SAFE—The Bank of N orwalk have
shown their determination to protect the
property of its customers and stockholders
to the fullest extent to which human inge-
nuity has yet carried the science—(for it
seems a science)-—of safe building. They
have just put into their vault a safe of an
entirely new design and make. It is called
the “ Dreadnought,” and if its ingenuity Of
construction and formidable appearance
are any criterions, it is very appropriately
desngnated. Although of but medium size.
and readily passed through the doors ’of
their vault, its weight is over 9000 lbs 1 Its
cost was $2,650. It is manufactured by
Tilton & McFarland, of New York, and is
built under various letters patent, the last
one of which is dated but a few weeks since.
This is the first safe of the. kind ever made.
Its dOor swings on two enormous hinges,
but when once shut it is securely held by
twelve two-inch bolts, and any attempt to
pry or blow it open but makes the door the
fighter, and in the event of a possible explo-
sion it becomes 'a- bomb-shell, and would
blow, thief and vault, all to “ David J ones”,
Its outer case is Of continuous layers of steel
and wrought iron—interlarded with an em-
ery cement, so that no drill known to me-
chanics can drill through it. These layers
or hands of iron are one and a quarter inch
thick and bend around in one am}: like a
wagon tire. In the door alone there are
1200 belts with steel points, and all parts
are equally fortified. There are two im-
mense solid wrought iron bars running
the entire inner circuit of the safe and
constituting its frame, and the door is sur-
rounded by a rubber, adjusted with spiral
wires so as to render it impervious to air
and dampness. The lock is the work of a.
master, and cost $300. It is set On the com-
binatiOn principle and as nicely poised and
adjusted as the works of a ,watch. Its spin-
dle is of hardened steel which can neither
be drawn out ‘or driven in, indeed if rudely
knocked will break off like apipe’s tail. In-
side this safe is still another small iron box, .
with bolts and bars intricate and to all up-
pearances impenetrable. It is evident that
no bank robber could ever force such a safe
as this, with any, of the appliances now“
known to the burglar’s art. The only draw- -
back to it all is, that should there be a dem-
ocratic cashier, with democratic accomplish-
ments, and he should get the “combina—
tion” on which the lock is turned, anyways
“mixed” nothing short of an earthquake
could get the thing open! As a beautiful
piece Of mechanism, and the most secure
safe ever built, and the first of its kind, it is
worth a visit to the bank to examine.
NEW DEPor.——A movement is on foot to
establish a new Railroad station and Post
Office “ down town,” near the foot of East
Avenue. This would prOve of- very great
convenience to the rapidly growing“ down
town” quarter, and add materially to the
value of property in that quiet and attrac-
tive section. It is understood that our back-
-men.and hard-working cartmen will be per:
mitted to run to this station without first
, purchasing a “ permit.”

NEW BUILDINGs—James E. Ells has com-
menced the foundations for two new build-
ings on Fair street. They are to be neat
and tasteful cottages. Geo. O. Keeler is lay-
ing the foundations of his proposednew res-
idenceon Union Avenue. It is to be a Man-
sard roof, and will be a decided addition to
that locality. Even our friend Stephen
Olmstcad has caught thé prevailing spirit of
improvement and is filling and leveling
about his place in energetic style. We trust
that he will hold on to .that “stoneboat” he
.is so vigorously plying, as with-it he could
establish a capital scow-ferry up and down
the avenue this winter. Somebody will
have to engage in this enterprise if ourBor-
ough authorities don’t attend to its drainage
before winter sets in. Three small, neat
cottages are in process of completion on
the Benedict farm, on the Step Hill road.

New Projects. .
We learn that the project of erecting a
new Town House, creditable alike to the
spirit of the age and our rapidly growing
community, is being actively canvassed.
The project contemplates its location on the.
'point of land adjoining the Chas. Mallory
homestead, so as to be more central and
easily accessible to both sections of oin'
town. We presume this enterprise will find
many hearty supporters above "the line.”
If it be likely to be carried out, however, we
should prefer that this strip of land should
be reserved for a park, and a lot for a Town
-House purchased (f udge Butler, west of
it, and upon higher ground. If it be done,
let it be well done.- The enterprise is of too
grave moment for any trifiing, as it is for
the generations of the future as well as for
the present ‘ ‘

sends us the following “central ” on dit

Rev.,G.»W. Allen has the sole agency for
Norwalk, and is canvassing the town for a
new book of peculiar interest, entitled “The
Unciviliz'ed Races-of Men in all Countries .
of the World,” by Rev. J. G. Wood, author
,of “Bible animals,”vetc.‘ As'its 'name indi-
eates,‘it is a comprehensive account .of the
manners, customs, peculiarities, and gener-
al characteristics of all uncivilized tribes in
.theworld. It is, issued ,in two volumes, or
bound in oneas desired. ,_It is printed from
new plates, on good paper, isillustrafed with
nearly five hundred engravings on tinted
paper, and is neatly and substantially
bound. It contains‘nearly 1500 large pages,
and the price varies according to style of
binding,’&c. Mr. Allen will call upon our
citizens and give ‘them an opportunity to
personally examine the work, , ; '

Lecture: for Ladies.
Mrs: Prof. Walter C. Lyman, proposes
giving here a course of physiological and
hygienic lectures. Her first one (for ladies
only), will be free, and given in the lecture‘
room of the First Congregational church on
Tuesday afternoon. She comes very highly
endorsed by the first ladies Of the city of
New York,'by clergymen and others, as to
ability and worth. Her lectures are not
of the “strong-minded” order. She endeav-
ors in an appropriate way, to inform her
own, sex, how to care for themselves and
their families. , We know of a few husbands
who are'willing their wives should do this
in a material way, and in this respect Mrs.
Lyman’s advent, may be most opportune.
But isn’t it a bit selfish in her not giving us
poor lords ,of creation 9. little' light as to no
best modes of masculine preservation. -.0.ur
“ Special reporter,” who prides himself‘on
giving every pessible item of local interest,
will be doubly magi-tiled at being. thus un-
,fc‘elingly excluded. All our good husbands
therefore, who have a curiosity to know
“what is going on,” will have to send their
wives to hear.’
W The next regular lecture of the Y.
M. C. A. course is to be delivered next week
Wednesday evening, 16th. , N. Y. Ob-
server has the following in regard to the lee-
turer :— ‘
Prof. Alfred A. Starr, 'of this cit , who has

ing a course in Chicago which excitcdtgreat

by B. .3. Russell, Boston,‘ and edited by
Rev. J. S. C. Abbott. It is entitled “Prus-
sia and tlfc Franco-Prussian War,” and con-
tains a narrative of the origin of the king
dom-and its past history; an account, of the
causes and results of the late War with Aus-
tria, and the origin of the present war, with

(2‘ ‘We were surprised to see the mon-
ster “Dunderburg” on the ways at Capt.
Bell’s ship-yard,thetother day. We had
supposed .that the hideous thing had been
one of the chief ornaments of the French
navy, and we half suspect this to be an at-
tempted counterfeit of the iron ship of war.
If so, the effort has been successful in its
hideousncss if in nothing else.

WED. Perrin, as it is known, never
spoils a good story on account of “ the par-
ty.” One of his best, he claims to have lis-
tened to, at an enthusiastic-Democratic con-
vention out in Kansas in the early part of
our war. An excited orator, who had the
platform yelled out his defiance as follows:

Q“ We are indebted to Mr. George Beck-
with, for a stirring temperance tract, which
we recognize as from his unique and tren-
rchant pen. His card, which accompanies
the tract, sufficiently introduces him to the
‘ public, and is as follows-:—-“GEORGE BECK-
WITH, Cosmopolite; Almanac Maker,Tea‘ch—
er of Mathematics and Phonography, Sur-
veyor and Civil Engineer, New Haven, Ct.”
Motto—4“The world is my country.” "‘To
do good is my religion.” Prof. Beckwith
having been engaged by the Union Manna
facturing 00., of this place as their Surveyor
,_ and Chief Engineer, and delivered his opin-
ion upon the “Eyyiem'c salubn'oumesé of the
almosphm'oconditt’om of their mill-pond,” his
temperance treetg possesses a peculiar local
interest and. value, and we therefore copy
a few sentences therefrom as indicating to
“all whom it may concern” what they are
to expect:
“We engage to be missionaries among the
intempercte, and inducethem to sign the‘
pledge. We occasionally admonish rum-
sellers, but we have more hope of afi'ecting
them by getting awa'vtheir customers than
by direct persuasion.” .
All hpil to Beckwith—long may he wave.

W Among the gentlemen who constitute
.the'new Board of Directors of the Air Line
Road, we recognize the names of. some of
our best men. Men who would never con-
sent to lend their influence to any enterprise
which they did not .believe in every way
worthy of support; and whose names are
a guarantee of the soundness, and give
strength to the Road they have in charge
The Company report the completion, of fa-
vorable arrangements, whereby they secure
the necessary funds to finish the line with--

.ern journalism has made phonograpby as
much a necessity of our civilization as the
electric telegraph, and. On this account
it is a real pleasure to noteanv substantial
advances made in the system. Those es-
pecially who have tried to ,“cram” the old
systems and master their arbitrary “excep-
tions,” will rejoice, we think, at the new
and» invaluble contribution made by James
E. Mun'son, in his new work just issued by
Oakley, Mason & Co., .142 Grand street, N.
Y. ~Prof. Manson has reduced the practiée
to a perfect system,with rules so plain that
any intelligent man or boy ought to master
it readilylcv‘en without a master. We should
rejoice to see this work introduced, into all
our schools. Especially in the higher
seminaries,where cur young men are taught
a business course,should this be a prominent
text book.
