following gentlemen appraisers, upon land
of Francis Skiddy, Esq., and others :-—W.

as Sanford Bedding, J. B. Ferris Stamford,
Edward C. Bissell, Norwalk. It is designed
to appropriate two acres _of land each, of
thc Skiddy and Steven’s property. for the
lower distributing reservoir. We are very
confident that more elevation could be se-
cured and that at less cost, if this reservoir
were located on the crest of the hill imme-
diately adjacent the residence of Pat Mc-
Quillan. The present site selectcl by‘he
Commissioners is the highest elevation on
the top of Step hill, and onthe south side
the highway.

‘ 0 Our Almshouio.‘ .
That our almshouse 'is a dzbgraoe,—not to
the selectmeu, or to the keeper, but to the
town—needsonly a visit to verify. Its ca-
pacity is totally unequal to its needs. As a
sample, there are 32 inmates, and the dining
room is only about 9x12, while the sleeping
room allotcd to each pauper would not ex-
ceed the space of an ordinary dry goods
box. This property is of sufiicient value, it
sold, to furnish what buildings—not land—
the town needs. It ought to be done, and
that at once. The selectmen do-all they
can; the keeper does all he can, and it is a-
marvel how so worthy a man can be in-
' 'duced to remain in such a pig-sly of a place.
We are thus emphatic, hoping that our cit-
izens will visit the place prior to the Town
_ Meeting to be held in referencg thereto.

Mr. Woodward’s organ announces ‘t posi-
tively” that he Will NOT be a candidate for
. Senatorthis year. We know it has come
to be a fashion for candidates to decline just
before a nomination, but in this case we are
inclined to believe it sincere. We learn that
Mr. Woodward is quite likely to succeed the
deceased Mr. Watson as County Auditor in
New York. We certainly trust that such is
to be the case, for he would make a much
better ofiicer than most any one at all likely
to get it. But in other respects we are sure
that his conclusions are wise and well tak-
'en. He has already enjoyed all the honor
that can attach to being elected a State Sen-
ator, and then his vote last year evinced an
unusual degree of personal popularity which
could not be expected to be enjoyed to any
thing like the same‘extent this year. Of the
past he is sure, of the future uncertain, and
whether he is to be County Auditor of New
Yer? or not, he can and will, undoubtedly,
find his greatest personal enjoyment in
using his great wealth for: the improvement
Of his large possessions hereabouts and thus
entitling himself to the just attribute of be;
ing a foremost citizen in all matters of local;
advancement, liberality and'enterprise.

Scapulars—The most thoroughly origin-

day evening last, at the house of our friend
eChas. G. Dean, Esq. The Club had essayed
a festive feast and were at the heighth of
their enjoyments,—one member actually
‘dancing his vest off and his suspenders
loose,—when lo! and beholdl the good
wives, who,had found them out, made a
suddeif entrance in force. The surprise was
complete and charming, but the boys made

Storrs Hall, Esq., known to many of our
readers as abrother of the Rev. Elwin Hall,
D. D., former pastor in Norwalk, who emi-
grated with a company from this vicinity to
Rosendale, Wisconsin, several years ago.
He writes: “ By taking a map Of Wiscon-
sin you may find Fond du Luc, which is
'twelve miles east of us, and Ripon, which
is ten miles west. We are a farming com-
munity. During the last Summer we en;
Iarged Our church-edifice and made improve-
ments to the amountof $16,000. The Church
now numbers 90 members. It has been
larger, but nfany of, the members have gone
West. This Church is almost acolony {tom
Norwalk and vicinity, and to a considerable
extent is patterned after yours. We always
remember Norwalk with great affection.
Ripon is a beautiful location upon a
prairie. At its commencement a building
was erected by the inhabitants, and a col-
lege charter obtained, for the purpose of es-
tablishing there a School of the higher
grade as early as possible. The proprietors
soon found it a costly concern, and offered
it to any denomination who would take it
and make such a school of it. Our Con-
vention, after fully and maturely considering
the matter, acccepted the oli'er. Ripon is
about 100 miles from Beloit, and, except
that, was the only College'of oar denomim
ation in the State. Another building was
immediately added, and a School main-
tained. A new Board of Trustees was
elected, myself being of the number. A.
debt of $10,000 was cancelled, ind the stand
taken that no new debt should be ‘created.
The College property is now Worth $75,000.
Six years ago we organized a full College
department, and elected Rev. W. E. Merri-
man, president. We have graduated four
classes,—small of course." Two years ago
we resOlved to raise an endowment fund of
$100,000, half at the East and half here, if
we could obtain the approval of the College
Aid Society. This was secured after a care:
ful'cxamination,and the College recommend-
ed; and we have already '.raised $25,000.
The School has averaged in its attendance
about 250 pupils. The teachers have taken
up with what the School brought in, although
having better ofi‘ers elsewhere. One of the
professors is a' graduateof Yale, _whose
parents reside at Str‘atfold. A more de-
voted band of teachers I have neverseen.
One result of this devotedness is that a Col-
lege term has never‘passedwithout a revival"
of religion, ' , .
The work has increased upon our hands
very much, and we greatly need funds.
Our president, being a brother of Rev.
Daniel Merriman of Norwich, has raised
some: money there in that vicinity. If any
of your people, after informing themselves
invest in its stock, we should be greatly
gratified _as well as efliciently helped.
Pleasé remember me to Norwalk friends.

Qn Webcsday evening last, the newly
finished, capacious and magnigcently fur-
nished mansion of JED. WILcox, Esq., of
Meriden,was thrown open- tohisfriends and
the Reception probably surpassed any simi-
lar occasion ever enjoyed in our snug little
state. There were represcnative men and,
women too, tiom all parts of the country;
including the Clergy, Press, Lawyers, Poli-
ticians. Mérchants and men of enterprise and
character, with an army of neighbors and
friends, all eager to view the palatial home
of their wide-awake and ever cordial host.
The house is unquestionably the cat capa-
cious and costly of any in Couneflcut, with
the single exception of our own Mr. Lock-
wood’s. It was furnished by Messrs. Hub-
bell & Curtis,ofBridgepOrt,and they certain-
ly could not have a more enticing and satis-
factory advertisement of their perfect capa-
bilities in the way'of gorgeous furnishing,
than this house afi'ords. Everything is of
the neatest, richest and most exquisite pat-
tern. Frdm window trimmings to carpet,
from Bedstead to baby-chair, the utmost har-
mony of design and colorsprcvail, through-
out. As a home-palace, it is a gem of the
builder’s and house-furnisher’s art. The
host and hostess, reéeived with a rare and
dignified cordiality. One marked feature of
the occasion, was the lavish profusion, of
cut flowers and exotics, which decorated
every room and filled the whole house with
the perfumes of Eden. .The refreshment ts-
ble, was prepared on a scale of liberality
and magnificence we never s'aw surpassed
and was a triumph of the cater’s art. In
fine, the whole affair, host, ‘guests, adorn-
ments and edibles, were perfection, as all who
know the whole-soulcd character of Mr.
Wilcox will readily conceive. Long may
the happy pair live to enjoy their sumptu-
ous home. Such we know was the parting
prayer of every guest. »

SANTO Domes Crrv, Feb. 13th 1871.
’ DEAR Sim—Your favor of the 3lst ulti-
mo I have read with much pleasure. I have
had several interviews with Dr. Howa, and
one 'with Mr. Wade; and I have posted
them to the best Of my ability in regard to
the political state of the country and other.
matters on which they are instructed to ob-
vtain information. -. I think they must have
been somewhat disdppointed that there was
no demonstrations of joy or satisfaction‘
toward them item the people on their ar-
rival.’ Mr. Baezsceiiig this and tearing its
consequences, gave orders for the different
societies in the city to_send deputations to
welcome and congratulate them ; and he
likewise gave orders to the military com-
mandanls‘of the neighboring towns to send
deputations for the same purpose. Every
effort is made to keep information from the
Commissioners in regard to the strength
and position'of-Cabral andhis party. Spies
are placed in the houses in their neighbor-
hood, and policemen stationed on the cor-
ners'atnight with orders to report to the
government all who enter the house of the
Commissioners. They were not even aware
that General Hungria was still in the Asy-
lum of the British Consulate until I told
them. The Vice President and several of
leading Generals of the Cibao district have
gone to the region occupied by Cabral. As
to the relative strength of the two parties
actually in arms Ican give you no reliable
informatiOn, as no one dares communicate
anything.’ Of one thing, however, I can
assure you, and that is.that it is only the
moral influence of the United States gov-
ernment, and the presence of its ships of
war that‘has sustained Baez’ in pOwei: until
now. President Grant has been grossly de-
ceived by those in whOm he had confided.
They have worked exclusively for their own
interests.
Mr. J esurun of Caracoa, Mr. Baez’s bank-
er, is here endeavoring to obtain an ac-
kno wledgemcnt‘of a pretended debt of his
against the Dominican government for
$600,000. Whatever amount may be al-
lowed and paid will accrue to the benefit of
of Mr. Baez, except perhaps, a commission
to Jesurun. He has always been Baez's
agent in furnishing supplies to carry on his
revolutions when out of power, but he is
too shrewd and cautious a man to advance
money in such a cause without ample se-
curity. It is enough to say of him that he
is a Dutch Jew to make this comprehensive.-
‘If the Commissioners do their duty, (of
which I havcno doubt in so far as'it is pos.
siblc for them to .get at the actual truth,) it
cannot be favorable to. annexation at pres-
ent. Until the ships of war are withdrawn
our government cannot know anything of
the strength Of Baez among his countrymen.
Mr. Frederick Douglasand son are called
here. the “decoy ducks” of the party.”
The Commissioners ' seem to have been
startled at the magnitude of the concessions
to Fabens, for which there does not appear
to have been any corresponding equivalent
given or agreed upon with the Dominican ,
government. They will probably be en-.
lightened before they leave there, and learn
that these concessions are the foundation of
of the annexation project; and that those
persons‘who have been. pressing the mat-
ter so hard are all interested; Others were
let into the “ ring ” with Fabens, Oazneau
and Bae'z, to .secure their influence here,
without whiéh nothing could be accom-
plished. But the crime is not having the
interest, but in .the means adopted to keep
it from the public. And this, too, will come
_ to light in due‘ time.
If the-Commissioners should call upon
General Hungria,,at the British consulate,
_th ey would, no doubt, obtain much valuable
information from him, within the scope of
their instructions. He is regarded as the
ablest military man in the country. He
started and carried thrOugh the revolution
against Cabral in 1867 and 1868, while Baez
was lounging in his' hammock in Curacoa,
and carried on the government for him some
.two months and a half before he had cour-
age to come over and take charge himself;
knowing how inveterate the hatred of the
great mass of the people was toward him.
Hungria then took the position of Minister
of War, which he held till last October,
when a serious quarrel arose between the
two on the qt‘iestion of cruel persecutions
toward those who differed with Baez; exe-
cuting 'all taken with arms, and impris-
oning _or banishing all who venturcd to ex-
press any opinion inimical to'his views and
wishes. And Baez had not kept his agree-
ment with him in~regard ‘to his share of the
rent of Sumatra, and the interest he was to
' have in the speculations which were to re-
sult from the annexation to the United
States. Baez sent him his passport some
time ago, and ordered him to quit the coun-
until he had him arraigned. His evidence
would be of some importance. .

Mussns. EDITORS :——The following letter.
trom Europe, written by a resident of West-
port, but "'w‘ell-known ' to many citizens of
Norwalk, is offered by permission of its an-
thor for publication in the GAZETTE. A
perusal will prove interesting.
Yours, &c., _ PAUL.
FLORENCE, ITALY, Jan. 28th, 1871.
Dear Frank—Perhaps a few lines will
not be uninteresting to you,-and_I will give
a little outline of my journey since leaving
London, from which place I went by Dover
' and Ostend to Brussells—a very pretty town,
«_thence -to Rotterdam and Amsterdam,
where I remained two weeks.
Amsterdam is not a very pleasant town,
and has a little beauty; As you am aware,
nearlyall the streets have canals, and the
weather being very cold the canals were
frozen and all the young people were on
skates. . - .
From Amsterdam I - went twice to the
Hague, a beautiful town where thejcourt
resides. It has fine wide streets, «fine parks,
promenades and walks, and is. about one
, mile from the sea shore. ‘Then there is a
large hotel where in summer the fashion
assembles.‘
Returning to'Amsterdam I went to Cologne
and proceeded up the. Rhine to Mayence
and Frankfort. All. through Germany one
could see that a terrific war was in progress.
Thousands of French prisoners—many Of
them wounded—could be seen at any of the
tOwns. The prisoners being quartered in
the different public parks and places, .and
fresh recruits just going to the war in com-
panies and squads, as well as those who
were just draWn bu't not yet entered the
service. _These were distinugished by a
ribbon on their hats. '
From Frankfort I went to Stuttgart, a
small but beautiful town, where there is the
finest railroad stations I have seen in Eu:
r‘ope. Stuttgart is surrounded by hills in
every direction, all Covered .with grape
vines, and is the only town in which crows,
doves, and sparrows live as one family, the
crows being'driven in by the snows to pick
up a scanty living in the streets. There are
immense flocks_of them in the city, and
‘many _of the people feed them. They seem
as tractable as thesparrows, and Ifllled my
pockets with bread two or three times and
scattered round within a few feet when they
would rush after it. . .
From Stuttgart, where 1 meta friend, we
proceeded to Munich, thence Insbruch, and
on the 19th started to cross the Alps, the
summit of which we reached about 12
o’clock, noon, where we were informed that
an avalanche had suspended traffic. We re-
mained atiBreuuer (the summit) till 9 o'clock _
that night, hoping that the track would be
try; to which he replied he would nofiebv’
to favor him' with their orders.
:-
and then succeeded in crossing. ‘The scen- ‘
cry in ascending and descending is superbly
grand. ‘
We arrived 3; Verona, the first Italian.
city of note, late at night and remained
there next day. Verona has one of the
finest ruins in Italy, in the shape of an, am-
phitheatre. It was built between the years
81 and 117 A. D. Forty-five rows of seats
remain entire and are capable of seating
22,000 people. Only a small portion of the
outer or decorative wall is standing, four
arches, about thirty feet outside of the main
structure ;. these are eighty feet in height—
all the rest have been destroyed by earth-
quakes, wars and time.
From Verona we went to Bologna, where
there are two leaning towers, one of which
was built A. D. 1109 and is 256 feet in -
heighth, and the other in 1110, and 130 feet
high. The oldest church in the city is called
San Stefanno, formed of seven seperate
arches, the oldest dating from the 4th cent-
ury and contains many relics from that time.
This city is peculiar, as nearly all the streets
are covered by arcades their entire length.
It was not .very pleasant here, there being
still large quantities of snow on the ground?
From Bologna we' proceeded to cross the
Appenines, which was accomplished with-
out difiiculty, and one can form some idea
of the difficulty of constructing a railroad
here when it requires forty-six tunnels on a
road of 150 miles in length. The longest
tunnel is one and a half miles long. After
getting on the southern side of the mount-
ain the snow gradually disappeared, and
when we arrived in the valley we could only
see it on the mountains in the distance.
Florence, where we now are, is a charm-
ing town, and has many charming places of'
reso'rt. Yesterday we went through the
Rational Gallery, and the celebrated Pitti
Palace, about a quarter of a mile distant,
and across the river but connected bya gel-
lery full of paintings, statuary and tapes-
tries. The Pitti Palace was commenced by,
a Florentine merchant in 1440, but whose
purse was not long enough to complete it,
and he had to sell. It now belongs to the
king, and now contains many of the finest
works of art in Europe. The house of Gal-
ileo is near the palace, and the last descend-
ant of the Pitti family—an old 'man—oc'cu-
pies rooms directly Opposite the, palace, and
is supported by a small annuity from the
government. a
the great American sculptor, Hiram Powers,
where we were 'greeted as if we were old
Meade, and where every American should
go before leaving Florence. He may rely
upon a cheerful reception, and nowhere can
he spend an hour more agreeably. Mr P.
has in his roo‘ins, nearly finished, a beauti-
ful statue of “Eve after the fall,’, upon
which he has been occupied three years.
There are numerous busts and figures of in-
dividuals about the place, and Mr. P. takes
pleasure in showing visitors particularly
Americans through his work-shop, where
his men are at work on pieces in all stages.
Of progress. Next door lives Mr..Ball, an-
other American sculpior; who also takes
equal pleasure in greeting his countrymen
who will take the trouble to visit him. He
has completed a model in plaster of “ Eve
before theofall," and has been waiting six
months for 'a piece Of marble ofisuflicient
size and purity to commence work. Statu-
ary is scattered throughout all the buildings
and streets of this city, many of=them by
the best masters, and one is bewildered and
confused at "seeing so many, and regrets that
he cannot preserve their identity. As -rt is
nearly one o’clock, a. in , I must close with
wishing you good night, and trusting that
you are regulating my Westport friends, to
whom please remember me.
Yours truly, &c., H. R. T.
