, FOURTH OF JULY.

‘ After due consxderation it has been deem-
ed wisest to postpone any public celebration
.of the approaching Fourth, on account of
the very general desire to have a rousing
town celebration next year, which shall not
only commemorate our nation’s birth-day.
but the completion and general introduction
of the Norwalk Water Works, which marks
an era in our local progress, worthy of a
grand civic celebration. NO event in the
development and onward progress of Nor-
walk, bears any comparison to this great
work. Its full completion and general use,
will work changes of which the masses lit-'
tle dream. » . '

Legislative.

The past week has not been particularly
engrossing in matters of either local or gene-
ral interest. There was a Caucus of the
Republicans held on Wednesday evening to
consider the question of the appointment of
the two judges, but inasmuch as there was a
bill before the Legislature to increase th:
number by appointing one more, it was
deemed best to adjourn to this week, which
was done without further action. A severe
contest has been waged before the Commit-
tee on Cities and Boroughs, on a New Ha-
ven horse railroai question. This week
Wednesday (tomorrow) the Capitol question
is to be tried in the House, but no one as
pects that the verdict of the Senate, will be
changed. N ext, Tuesday the Norwalk and
the Gregory’s Point Horse Railroad Co’s are
to be heard in respect to their rival claims
for building a road up East Avenue, &c.

At the County'Caucus held by_ our mem-
bers last week, Mr. D. M. Marvin of West-
port, was nominated for Railroad Commis-°
sioner, Mr. Jacobs, of Stamford, for Statt
Prison Inspector, Mr. Farnam of Beth's], for
County Co'nimissioner, (in place of Lyman
Kecler,’ Danbury), and Asa B. Woodward.
unanimously for Judge of Superior Court.
All these nominations, save the County Com-
missioner, are to be reported to the general
Legislative Caucus for. adoption, when it
shall be convened for that purpose. The in-
dications are that the Legislature will be
ready to adjourn by the 4th proximo. .

 

 

 

 

Dunbnry 0; Norwalk Railroad.

The Danbnry and Norwalk R. R. Com—
pany commenced yesterday, (Monday) run-
ning an express ovcr‘their road,which leaves
South Norwalk on the arrival of the 4.30 p.
m. express from New York and- the 5 p. m.
accommodation from New Haven. Theitrain
leaves South Norwalk at 6.17 and arrives at
Danbury at 7.12, making the time from 27th
street New York to Danbury, two hours and.
forty one ntinutes, reducing the time be-
tween South Norwalk and Danl~ury,twenty
one minutes. The time after the completion
of the new depot in New York, will be
som, ‘ ng under two and one half hours
from'_ _ew York to Danbury, which we sup-
pose will be duly appreciated by the trav-
eling public. The express train stops only
at N orwalk, Sanford’s, Bedding and Bethe].

A new train is addsd which leaves South '

Norwalk at 6.22 and runs through to Ridge-
ficld, stopping at all stations on the line.

.Through cars for Ridgefield and Danbury
are provided at 27th street on the 4.30 train
so that passengers from New York reach
their stations on the entire line of,_ the road
and branch without change of cars at South

' Norwalk.

The new Wharf at Pine Island is com-
pleted and excellent arrangements have
been made both fOr loading and unloading
of cars, which is now done by steam and in
one-half the time formerly occupied. This
gives great satisfaction to boatmen and the

company can now dispose of their trcights .

so as to cause but little detention to shippers.

 

Our Water Works are progressing finely.
Some two miles of pipe are laid, as are the
foundations for the upper or Silver Spring
Dam. The Distributing Reservoir on Pros-
pect Hill is also going rapidly forward.

Gen. Sherman cannot be used as a. Pres-
idential candidate, and is greatly annoyed
by being so often “ nominated” by indiscreet
friends and tricky politicians. In a recent.
letter he tries to nail the matter thuslyz—
“ll hereby state and mean all that‘I say,

 

that I never have been and never will‘

he a candidate for President. That if nom-
inated by either party, I should percmptori
ly decline, and even if unanimously elected.
I should decline to serve. If you can find
language stronger to convey this meaning
you are at liberty to use it.”

American artisans, it seems, cannot make
furniture good enough for the “ democratic”
magnates. On Tuesday last, says the Ad-

- vacate, the propeller Brady Was completely

laden with the furniture, wines,liquors, &c.,

wich. “ All of the at ticles were directly
imported from Europe, and were immediate-
ly transferred from the ship which brouglt.
them across the Atlantic, to the propeller.”

Hampshire is dwindling down to a pretty

scale, both parties are intently watching
chances, and the case is growing in interest.

THE RAIN. -'
The'shOWers' of the past week have ex-
tended over a broad belt of country and have
done an infinite amount of good in reviving
the parched earth. The grain crop will be
thickened up and greatly benefitted, but
it is too late to hope for a full crop of hay.

M
Corn Fodder.
We are glad to see that our farmers are
turning their attention to the planting of
Corn Fodder. There is plenty of time to
put it. in and no crop will net so large a
return, if well cared for and cured. -One
whoknows assures us that if the corn be
sowed very thickly broad-cast—the thicker
the'better—and is well harrowed under, it
will make a better- fodder- and cure more
easily than when drilled in or sparesly sown
Sweet corn is also deemed best for the pur-

pose.

in the Norwalk markets this season. They
were from a noted fruit grower'of Greens-

supply through the season. Goodnough'is
an old experienced fruit glower himself, and

Dedication of St. Mary’s.
The large and beautifiul New Stone
church recently erected on West Avenue,
was formally dedicated to the service of Al- .
mighty God on Sunday morning last, by Rt. .
Rev. F. P. McFarland; Bishop of the Diocese,
assisted by a large representation of clergy-
men. The weather was propitious and the
.attendance very large. In the morning, at
8 o’clock, previous to the dedication, the
Bishop confirmed over two hundred chil-
dren. with some adults. - -
The Dedication ceremonies commenced
at 10 o’clock, AM. The clergy who took
part were RTQREV. F. P. McFAnLANn, Bish-
op of the Diocese ; Rev. Messrs. Daly ofN cw
Blitain ; Delaney of Pawtuckct, R.l.; Lynch ‘
of Birmingham ; O’Dinger of Ausonia; Kel-

procession from the parochial residence to

the main entrance of the churchu Here the

Bishop pronounced a prayer invoking the

assistance of AlmightyGod ‘on‘ the action

about to be performed. Then making the

circuit of the church, outside, he sprinkled

the walls with holy water, the clergy chant-‘
ing in procession the Psalm Makerere (L.P.)
The procession having again reached the
entrance of the church, the Bishop again To-
cited a prayer asking God to purify and
bless the place of His' habitation. Thepro-
cession then entered the church by the main
aisle, singing the Lttany of the Saints.
Reaching the beautiful altar they knelt and
continued the chanting till thee'nd Of the
Litany, when the Bishop arose and solemn-
ly invoked the Almighty to cleanse, bless
and consecrate the church and altar,,which
he then dedicated to His service. The pro-
cession was again formed and proceeded
'around the inside of ~the church, the clergy
chanting the cxx, cxxr and oxxn Psalms,
and the Bishop sprinkling the interior walls
as he had done the exterior with holy water.
This done, he prayed that all who invoked
the name ofthc Lord in this place of prapr
should be made sensible of His mercy: High
Mass was then commenced, in the course of
which Father BECKER delivered a discourse
from the text. Gen. xxvm, 16 atld.17. The
main idea of the discourse was the necessity
bf supernatural religion for man, and Of- en-
durable, commodious, magnificent church
edifices in which to have its doctrines taught
Vand its ceremonies practiced. ' Acollectiou
of offerings .towards extinguishing the debt
of the church was then taken, andthe servi-
ces concluded with a benedictibn _by the
Bishop. The St. Mary‘s T. A. B. Asso , and
St. Joseph’s Benevolent Society, with their
large banners, and the Cadets, were out in
procession. The music by the choir was
of a high order and was finely executed.

At Vespers, in the evening, the Bishop
preached from the “text, St. John, v1.” Hc
deduced from the words of the Redeemer,
as narrated .by St. John, the Catholic dogma
of the Real Presence of our Blessed Lord in.
the Sacrament of the Eucharist, a dogma
confirmed by the institution of the sacra-
ntent lit the Last Supper, and which ex-
plains the deep reverence iu which'Catholics
hold their churches,—-the dwelling places of
Jesus Christ, who is continually present
therein‘"‘on the altar,.under the sacramental
species; '

If the surroundings of the church outside
are not in keeping with the church itself,
and its beautiful interior, this, we under-
stand. is owing to the defect of the borough
authorities, who, after several attempts have
failed to establish the grade of the streets in
the, neighborhood, and have thus made it
"impossible, so‘ far, to lay even the base of
the fence which is to surround one of the.
most beautiful ornaments of Norwalk. '

stonepr concrete pavements, or excellent
streets, or, even up attempt at a cross-walk.
Yet the artistic taste of its citizens is public;
ly shown. They have, with much care, and
at some expense, fitted up an elegant park
opposite the carriage cn'terancc of Legrand
Lockwood’s place of residence. An elabo-
rate railing surrounds this plot, but within
the enclosure are five statues i

Walking on: Railroads.

The safest way to walk ona railroad is to
keep off from it. But if one must and will
use the railroad, let him always take the, left
hand track, so that he will meet the coming
train; and when the train approaches him,
let'him step oti‘ on the left homicide of the
left hand track, and he will be sure to escape
the train coming the other way.

It is reported that_six persons were killed
last week, between New ,York and New Ha-
ven, on the railroad, and it is time for the
newspapers to sonnd.a note of alarm. The
abOve caution is meant fora. double track.
On a single track, let men keep their eyes
and ears wide open, or keep off the track.‘

Death of Rev. Xenophon Dctts.

Died in V' on, Thursday evening. May
18th 1871. g . Xenophan Bette, in the 72d
year of his age. His funeral was attended
by a large concourse of. people, on Saturday
at 11 a. m. *The church was appropriately
draped in mOurning, and crowded with
friends of the deceased from far and near;
for all men loved and reverenced him as a
good man, full of meekne‘ss and the spirit of
the Master. ' An excellent sermon was
preached by Rev. Henry B. Eldred, of Kins
man, the oldest pastor in the county, and
well acquainted with Mr. Betts during the
28 years he labor d.in Vienna. The death
of an aged, faithful and loved -pastor is no
common loss to the people over whose spir-
itual interests he has watched with anxious
solicitudc for long years. The little chil-
dren, the youth and the middle aged whom
he has baptised, and with earnest prayer
commended” to the mercy of the Father of
all; and that other company of happy ones
who came to him in the May time of their
young love for a holy confirmation of their
mutual vows, to love, honor and be true
through all life’s sunshine and cloud; these
with .those who remember his tears, mingled
with theirs in the dark hours of bereave-
ment, or when days of sickness shadowed
their homes—all these, and many more, will
drop a tear of upfeigned sorrOw over' the
grave of the good, kind and pure old man
whose oft familiar voice shall be heard at the
.altar and lamily circle'no more forever. '
