NORWALx.
It; Advantages Ind Improvements.
To most of ourreadcrs the above theme
may seem trite and threadbare, but it is to
be borne in mind that there is a vast num—
ber .of persons throughout the country, on
the “look out” for desirable places of busi-
ness location, onir' fesidenCc. That great
overgrown hive of humanity, New York, is
fille'd with-aetive, thrifty business men as
well as .persons Of fortune, seeking some
place-in the country, where either limited
means or fortune, will purchase greater ad—
vantages and comfortsthan are possible in
a crowded city. It is no vain-glorious
boast to assert that no town within a radius
of a hundred miles of New York possesses by
universal consent so many substantial ad-
vantages and attractions, as Norwalk. Its
Harbor facilities for water communication
with New York throughout the year en-
sures cheap and expeditious freights, to and
from the N ation’s‘Commercial Metropolis,
while our facilities by rail, although not all
we could‘wish, are far beyond that enjoyed
in many other localities, and are constantly
improving. -. Then locally, we have every
- variety of charming topography to suit the
tastes of such as seek suburban homes and
at reasonable prices. Within our villages we
hafe all the attraCtions and advantages of
churches, schools, and cultured society, we
have Horse Cars for the multitudes and good
roads and charming drives for the owners
of their own carriages. We have gas and
soon shall' have water, for health; cnoven-
ience, luxury and mechanical power. With
Gregory’s Point, andmorc attractive Keyser
Island, our citizens enjoy all the health-giv-
ing and joy-inspiring luxury of Sea-side
Parks, without one penny’s cost to the tax
payers. Even inthe palatial residence and
magnificent grounds of Elmensworth, which
are so often captiously criticised as being an
obstruction to denser population, we have
a grandcentral park and garden, to gratify
the eyes of all and cultivate a. popular taste
for the beautiful, and all furnished the pub-
lic at the expense of the generous minded
owner and occupant. Then take the crests
of our hills and our hillsides,on either side the
Norwalk valley and for picturesque pros-
pect and beauty of outlook, we challenge the
world to match the enchanting natural bean-
ties Of staid and primitive old Norwalk. And
when.we shall have our Water Works in full
operation, at the end of a few months, furn-
ishing abundant motive power for all the
smaller mechanical appliances of the pro-
ductive arts, we can see no reason why our
zenith in the future shall not greatly exceed
the past. In verity, if not arithmetically,‘
Norwalk has increased in wealth and popu-
lation, beyond any other town in Connecti-
cut in the last decade. One lflls only to
drive around the suburbs and through our
principal streets to be convinced, and aston-
ished too, at our steady, healthy and sub-
stantial growth. Despite the somewhat gen-
eral apathy in trade and stagnation in man-
ufacturing interests, the large number of
new houses completed and in course of erec-
tion, and in almost every case for the occu-
pancy of the builder, convince one beyond
all doubt, that even now, we are blessed
with a remarkable degree of prosperity,
while the future inspires certain promise of
still greater growth. The lavish gills of the
God of nature bestowed upon this ancient
town, have no doubt been chief among the,
cahses attracting and centering population,
manufaclories, and commercial interests
here. But with location and scenery incom-
. parable, not-a little is also due to the staid
and substantial character of the ruling ele-
ments ofour- local society. Had our. chief'-
est citizens, been a grasping, griping crew
of Imiserly Fagans, intent only on their ex-
tortionate per cents, is it probable or even
possible that Norwalk would to-day enjoy
that preyeminence to which it has attained!
By no means. The history of nearly every
Western town, is but a verification of the
fact, written all over in failui'e and ruin, that
wheneverIand-iwherever agrasping moneta-
. ry element, has gained sway, and exercised
control, to force 'its Jewish extortions upon
a community, all commercial and manufact~
uring interests have wilted, the rich becom-
ing richer, the poor becouling' poorer, until
irretrieveablc disaster palsied all enterprise
. and ruin absolute and complete, Sealed 'the
fate of townand people. .
Our comparative exemption from “cliques”
and “rings” has also, no doubt, greatly con-
tributed to our prosperity.' No community
can long prosper where local jealousies, bick-
erings, and selfish antagonisms to neighbor-
ly interests, consumes the business 'cnergies ~
Of its citizens. But where every stranger,
and every new business,—however much it
compete With existing and established in-
terests,.—is welcomed, and a hearty god
speed is evinced by every one toward every
[new comer, the place will grow and no hu-
man powor can arrest its onward progress
and development. ,
From such a condition and element of so-
ciety, we,,happily, here in Norwalk have
been spared. , Every business man and bus-
iness corporliou deserving and desiring aid
of our monetary institutions obtain it, ‘at
fair commercial rates, and no extertioate exi
actions are permitted by the grasping cupi l~
ity and averice of President, Cashier, or Di-
rectors. Then too, our merchants and busi-
ness men, as a class, are conspicuiously en-
terprising, honest and liberal.. We deem it
a fact worthy our! highest local pride, that
in Norwalk, there is probably a greatly less
per centuge IIof peculating, serimping, sha-
ving and gouging shop keepers than in al-
most any town of equal population. This
is conceded universally and the hundreds of
customers daily thronging our streets from
other localities, give the best practical testi-
mony to this gratifying truth. A generous,
honest and public spirited people are 8S cer-
tain to ensure augmentation Of population
and wealth as “the stars in their courses, and
God grant the day may be far distant when
Norwalk’sllall be cursed with a ruling ele-
ment lustful Of greed and made'infiuential
only, by bearded wealth,'extorted from the
business necessities of the people.
We learn that the Rev. Mr. Merwin- was
reluctantly compelled,by unforeseen circum-
; stances, to deny himself and [his friends in
Norwalk the pleasure of a meetinglast Sun-
day ;‘and that he expects to .start on the
30th inst. on his return to Valparaiso with
. his wife, accompanied by her sister from
Manchester Vermont; solhat it will be im-
possible for‘ him to spend a Sunday here
before' his departure. » - .
It is an honor to Norwalk to have given
birth to two young missionaries, one for
Chili and one for Turkey, besides others
that have labored among the Indians. They
ought to have increased sympathy and
prayer from all the churches here; fOr their
work is for Christ and our brother man—not
for sect. .
Connecticut has another representative at'
Valparaiso,‘bearing One Of her most honored
names—Rev. David Trumbull,—.who has
been'a useful and eminent missionary there
for a putter of a century, and has devoted
much time and service to Seamcn. Such
men and women deserve a high appreciation,
' continued remembrance, and generous sup-
port. ' ‘ .
@It is in contemplation, we are told, to
erect a fire and burglar proof vault in the
Savings Bank and Fire Insurance portion of
the new Old Well Club building, and also to
provide suitable accommodations for the
City Council chamber. This location sug-
gests a much more central and convenient
location for the National Bank, than their-
Contemplated lot.

'Ilsc Down Towfui Crossing. I-
There is to be a meeting oalledto rescind
the recent vote directing Eagl Avenue to be
out under the track of the New Y‘o‘rkdv New
Haven Railroad. We have been to the pains
Change. President Bishop assures‘us that-
his company will pay one-half the whole
expense, or will raise their track and build
the abutments and bridge if the town will
do the excavating. .This is certainly a fair
and even liberal offer on their part, and, in-
asmuch as the Down Town people earnestly
desire the change to he made, we trust their-
wishes will be respected and granted. The
crossing is a dangerous one and owing to
the near. proximity to their public school,
our friends there are justified in their spec-
ial anxiety over the matter. Then on gener-
al principles, wherever it is feasible for a
railroad to run over or under, it should be
done, and'hcre it is feasible. But we do Oh-
jest to any such outlay'as $3,000 by > the
town for this work. All the gravel necessa-
ry for a roadway can he slid into the chasm
near Rufus Raymond’s, for, from $1,000 to
$1,500, so the very best judges assert. . Let
this very desirable work be done, and well
done, but at the smallest possible cost to the
town treasury. Such, we believe, to be the
judgment and wish of a'very large majority
of our tax-payers.

RAIN, RAIN.—The first thorough soaking,
drenching rain of the season, set in on Sat-
urday night last, and continued till Sunday
evening. An immense body of water fell
and while much inevitably ran off in the
streams, yet the earth" must have been thOr-
oughly saturated and soaked. This 'will
help out the winter crops and fodder im-
measurably. . ’
W The Destroyer, Death, has been no-
usually busy in our midst during the past
week. First, R. A. Beckwilh, in all the
glory of early manhood, is stricken down,
and his crippled, invalid and almost helpless
wife, and orphan child, touch the tcnderest
sympathies of all hearts. 'Next, the aged
Mrs. Wm. Daskam, “ falls on sleep.” She
was the mother-in-law of Hon.S.B.Beardsley.
Late Saturday night S. R. Bunting, who had
been in usual health up to near time for re-
tiring is stricken with death, and departs so
the moment of his earthly exit. '. .
To-day, we learn that the wife of Ex-
Senalor Dixon, died in Hartford ,on Friday.
She was a most estimable lady, respected
and beloved by all who ever knew her.
Surely in life we are in death.
In the death of R. A. Beckwith, known to
many as a photographic artist of unusual
merit, our community has sustained a seri-
ous loss; He was a young man of rare per-
sonal qualities—a man in whose heart there
was no guile—candid,.siucere and upright
in all his relations with his fellow men. and
to those who enjoyed his intimacy a. friend
whose place it will be very hard to fill. But
it was in his domestic relations where his
patient, loving spirit, shone forth with a
glory as unsullied as the angels. While a
whole community mourns his loss, how
overwhelming must be the crushing weight
Of sorrow to her, who as an invalid, so
largely shared his devoted solicitude. May
the Good Lord temper the winds to His
sllorn lambs- '
Three foreigners,with nnspellablc names,
were detected here, last Tuesday, in selling

detained by officer Tuttlo until an order of

from U. S. District Attorney Childs, ot
Stamford, when Ass’t. Marshal Philo F.
Barnum, of Bridgeport, took them in cus-
tody by Virtue of a warrant signed by U. S.
Com. Seymour, of Bridgeport. The segars
were seized and taken possession" of by As-
sessor Camp, by authority of Internal Rev-
enue Laws, Act of 1868. At their examina-
saying that they never had any segars, and
did not even know each other, but the evi-
dence was strong against them, and they
were bound Over for trial at the U. S. Dist.
Court to be held in Hartford, next week.

that some efforts were made to carry the
water into the pond that comes tearing down

of the Borough, ever since its organization
and so easy a disposition of the winter floods
ought not to be longer deferred.

W Ladies in want of heat, well-made,
fashionable gaiters or shoes, at reasonable
prices, should call and examine the stock of
taken the old shoe stere formerly occupied
by J. U. Carier, Main Street. They are
wide-awake, liberal dealers, and have an ex-
cellent stock of well-made boots, shoes, gait-
es, 850., for ladies’ and children’s wear. The
store has been newly refitted, and an atten-
tive and obliging lady clerk is present to
determined to have their part of the trade,
announce that if their prices do not suit
“ they will, when they feel like it, throw in
a few pair of shoes extra.” However, judg-
ing from an examination of their stock and
. prices we don’t believe they will feel like it
often, and think that their customers will
feel well satisfied at the priét‘lsked them.
Go and see for yourselves, at the old boot
and shoe stand, Main Street.

walk. President Biglow being unable to
attend the Convention on account of illness,
the chair was filled by Vice President Beers.
Rev. J. Davies in a few remarks welcomed
the Convention to the hearts and hospitali-
tcrs from the schools Were read, generally
showing progress, and in a few schools re;
porting the presence-of the Spirit, and the
conversion of souls. H. C. Tuttle, Bridge-
port, J. Amsblp'y, Danbury, and J. L. Amr-
bler, Norwalk, were appointed Conimittee
of Arrangements for next‘yea‘l'.’ Rev. Dr.
Hopper of Bridgeport, spoke bricfly,‘making
special mention of the Christian experience
and triumphant death of Miss Mary Hay-
ward, a member of the Bridgeport School.
J. D. Candee, a formerteacher of Miss Hay-
ward, also spoke'confirmin'g 'Dr. Hopper’s
.work in cndeavoring to revive andbuild up.
. the Baptist cause in New Canaan. He's'poke
quite encouragingly of the prospect for" a
Baptist Church there, and gave notice of his
intention to press its claims upon the atten-
tion of the Association at its next meeting.
After prayer by Rev. J _. Davies, and singing,
the Convention adjourned to Ely’sHall for
refreshments. Here we found the ladies had .
provided a bountiful collation, which was
heartily enjoyed and appreciated by their
hungry guests. After dinner a prayer meet-
ing was held, conduCtéd by J. 'Am'sbn’ry,
which was both spirited and spiritual. At,
2 o’clock the Convention resumed business.
After singing, and prayer by Rev. A.~ C,
Hubbard, of'Danbury, on», following ques-
tions Were preSented and discussed by the
Convention :— ' f - ‘I
1st. Will it not be'well, to abolish the en.
tire system of Sabbath; School Libraries?
Opened by Rev. A'. N.- Benedict, of Strat-
field, who took the affirmatiye, insisting that
a live, pithy, well-conduCted‘ Sunday School
paper, would be far preferable to the trashy
books found in our libraries. The speaker
gave several reasons why he took this .view
of the question, and argue! in, favor of
abolishing the Sunday School library, with
considerable force; ' »
2d. How to prepare and teach a lesson.
Presented by Rev. 0. W. Gates, in a careful?
ly prepared paper, showing that the teacher
not only needs a theoretical knowledge of:
the lesson, but a preparation of theheart
also in order to successfully teach.
3d. .How much time ought we to give to
the lesson? ‘ ' ' " . "
Ansiwered by J. L. Ambler, who took the
I ground that as the teaching and enforcing
the lesson, was the best means of accom-
plishing the object of Sunday School labor.
it ought to have that proportion of the time,
which its importance demands, and that all
the ofiier exercises of the school should be
made subordinateto this. Thirty minutes
was claimed» to be the shortest time that
could be given to any lesson, and do justice
to it. -
4th. How can we get new scholars and
secure the regular attendance of all.
Opened by Rev. A. C. Hubbard, who
told us to “'Go for them,” and make the
them in, they will not be willing under any
circumstances, to leave.
5th. Are‘unitorm lessons desirable?
Presented by Rev. J. Davies, who took the
negative of the question, giving several
reasons why in his opinion, uniform lessons
were not desrrable. , It was evident from the
discussion that followed, that the sense of
the meeting was not in accordance with the
views presented by the speaker.
6th. Deacon J. Amsbury spoke upon the
“Necessity of keeping accurate Sunday
School Records” insisting that every school
ought by 'all means, to keep an accurate
record of scholars admitted, the attendance
of each, as far as poséible their subsequent
history, and all items of business transacted,
as well as matters of general interest which
often occur in the history of every School.
After a vote of thanks to the South Nor-
walk School for their hospitality, and the
adoption of the RepoH of the Committee of
Arrangements, the Convention adjourned to
meet at Stamford, the 2d Wednesday in
June, 1872. In the evening an interesting
meeting was held, ‘at which the children 'of
the school were 'present, which was ad-
dressed by Rev. A. C. Hubbard and Mr.-
Knudsen. On the ’whole the Convention
was a success, although we could have hoped
for a larger attendance of delegates, espe-
cially from‘ the smaller schools.

pleasant evening for their; festival, but, we
hear, met with fair success.

Pioneers in Strawhrry Festivals,—is tobe
given to-niglrt at Norwalk Hall. In addi-v

.A span of horses belonging to a- son, of;
Mr." R. Cornell (White, created a decided,
sensation on Main street last Saturday afier;
n‘bon. Becoming frightened they got away
from a boy who was holding. them, and;
dashed dovvn .the crowded street at . fearful
pace. The'vvagon struck against a carriage, ‘
breaking the wheeland.’spilling out thezoc- _
cupants, ladies, who fortunately were not
seriously’inj ured. - Then the pole struck; the

stunned. He was finally pulled off and
found to bebadly bruised. He was ' taken
to Morehouses stables where he. was prop-
erly cared for, and it is thought will come
out all right. The street was ‘CrOwded at
the time, and if’the' horses'had'u'ot been

ill changing the name of the Norwalk

explained by Senator Fay stating that the

lar ed character and projects of its business.
enator Hall objected to giving this com-
pany the ri ht to extend their operations.
he princi e of these mutual benefit com-
panies is p ausible, but the legal restrictions
to compel them to fulfil their assumed obli-
gations is insufficient. ,
Senator Fay sustained the claims ofthese
mutual benefit companies by contrastIlng
their expenditures with those of the ordina-

_ A WARNING.-—Boys should be very core-
ful, and not allow themselves at any time,
either in earnest or in-play, to throw stones.
A little boy, son of Mrs. Goodale, was very
seriously hurt on Friday last, by a‘stone
thrown by 'a School-mate. The stone, struck
him on the head and for a while he was
thought to be dangerously hurt, but we are
glad to learn that he is now out of danger.
Boys, beware how ' you allow any provoca-
tion to cause you to throw stones. If you in-
dulge in‘ such practices, you may commit,
murder, when you haven’tthe least inten-
tion of doing harm-

Byg's‘ome it lepronondced to belt/lint terrible
disease known as -ccrebrospinal meningitis,-
or sometimes termed spotted fever, although
”many eminent veterinary surgeons say that
it difier‘s from that disease in some essential
"requisites. It recently showed itself famong
the horses of the SeCond' avenue line, where
there' have been over 130 cases.
The first symptoms are manifested iwe
slow,sluggish moVCmcutof the hind qua crs
and in stumbling. It is a disease of the
membranes over the spinal marrow, and
beginning apparently over the lumbar
vertebrae, effectually paralyzes the hind
quarters. The distemper gradually wbrks
itself along the spinal cord until it at last
reaches the brain,when the fore legs give
way, and the horse is deprived of the use Of
his limbs. _ » _
The inost remarkable feature of this disease
in its present aspect, one in which it differs
from the real cerebrc-spinal meningitis, is
that the horse continues to eat and drink as
heartily as though he was well, his appetite
to increase rather than diminish as the dis-
ease'advances. 1f the horse when stricken
with the disease is allowed to lie down, he
will never get up. Therefore, just as soon
as numbness in the hind quarters is noticed
the horse is supported by broad canvas
bands, and as soon as he is able to stand he
is turned loose,
There is no effectual remedy for this fright-
ful malady yet discovered. External appli-
cations are applied along the spinal Cord and
the horse is kept as quiet as possible. It is
not contagious or intectious.-. Where there
are five horses in a stable, two may be
stricken down and the rest not show the
slightest signs of the disease. It has ap-
peared amonggthelhorsesof the Third- and
Seventh avenue lines, as well as among .the
the stage lfnes. In .some localities it has
swept over the country as a' curse, paralyzing
in a day the finest stock. A gentleman in
.Westchcster county, out of seven fine horses
has last five. It is reported that another
gentleman on Long Island, the owner of
many fast trotting horses, has already lost
six from this disease valued at $30,000.
The 2d'avenne lost 37 on Friday and the
3d avenue had' to discontinue about one half
of its cars on Saturday. Hundreds of the
this side of New York and no remedy seems
so efficacious as turning the, animals but to
grass, when able to movevabout'." ‘It is stated
as aIsiIngular fact that it is not infeCtiouIs or
contagious and that no horses fed exclusive-
ly on oats has been affected. This has led
several vetcnariansi to pronounce the terrible
.disease as the effects of poision ,mixed in
their meal-feed in the shape of Plaster of
Paris and Marble Dust, which is known to
be extensively _ nsed as an adulteration to
make the feed weithIeavily.
Our Two Governments.
TOWN.
EDITORS GAZETTE :—A recent town meet-
ing unanimously ordered the grade of East
Avenue, at the crossing of the New Haven
Railroad, to be changed, and the roadway
of the Avenue to pass under the railroad
for the better protection of life and property.
Dame Rumor says objections are made by
some one, ofllcial or otherwise, to this action
of the town in adopting measures for the
protection of the lives and propertyof its
citizens; Can this be thus?
BOROUGH.
Borough authorities to bring Main Street
into full use, by reducing the grade of the
Old original highway over the hill, to the
grade of the more recent addition to the
highway under the‘ hill, and of late years
the portion of the street most used to avoid
going over the-old hill road. The increasing
business of the borough and especially in
Main street demands the lull use of Main
street, and that it be at once brought to a
grade for its entire width from the line of
picket fences on the hill on the east to the
same on the west, and thus give the public
full use and benefit of property that belongs
to it and its own. Let us have full posses-
sion; and nuisances and obstructions re-
moved without delay. "
Dame Rumor has something to. say about
the delay in this much called for improve-
ment. Would it be well to hold a Court of
enquiry and have it known who stands in
the way of‘thc public good, and have such
obstructions removed?
How long, Oh 1 how long will we be kept
from our own and be debarred privileges
and rights that are our’s, and all for the will
to step forward and take them?
' . J USTICE AND Pnoennss.
We would suggest that the improvement
of High street bc'finished up “from wall to
wall" ill the same manner.

similarly situated at the nei hboring stations
on the New York & New aven R. R., for,

Mn. S :—Not much danger about that,
for, allowing $4,000 for the buildings, you
have a cost value of Only $250. per. lot and
at an average sale at $300.per lot your prof
its will be $3,000 with $200. to spare for ex—

popular for residences the business part near
this station must enhance in‘value very rap-
