Everybody jubilate to-day on their own
account, the public celebration having been
deferred until next vear. Display the flags,
and rejoice in your; own way.
The Nelly White ofi'ers a very attractive
excursion and will undoubtedly be crowded.
A Regatta comes off at Roton Point this
afternoon, as an additional attraction to that
popular seaside resort.
At the Fair Ground several trots and walk-
ing matches are the attraction.
A nice rain Sunday night settled the dust
' and made all nature lovely for the Fourth.
W The St. Joseph's Society and Father
Matthew Total Abstinence Societies expect
to “celebrate” with a public parade and pic.
nic, at the Amphitheatre.

O’Kell, to whom $40,000 worth of the
stolen Bank of Norwalk Bonds were traced,
was tried before Judge Cardozo in NewYork
I last week, and on Friday the jury, after
having been out some twenty minutes, re-
turned a verdict of guilty. He is a rather
genteel looking man of about forty-five to
fifty years of age, of florid complextion, and
one we are quite certain, we have seen fre-
quently about Norwalk: He refused. up to
the last moment, to divulge anything or
give the least chic as to how they came into
his po'ssessiOn. It was this dogged silence,
no doubt, which led to his conviction. Up-
on request of his counsel Judge Cardozo
postponed sentence to this Monday morning,
the penalty under the law, being from one to
five years The prisoner was undoubtedly
taken aback by the verdict ashe asserted he
'had rather pay a thousand dollars than lay
in the Tombs over one night. He had been
' out on $10,000 bail, and had he anticipated
such a termination of his trial would no
doubt have forfeited his bonds and departed.
The thorough and searching trial given him
by the Assistant District Attorney, must,
however, shaken the confidence of his coun-V,
sel in an acquittal,wbatever may have been?
the hope of the prisoner. The first lot of
the stolen bonds found on the market by S.
E. Olmstead and E. K. Lockwool, O’Kell
had hypothecated for a loan at tthtuyvesant
Bank within five days of the robbery. Nine
different bonds and transactionsin all were .
traced to him,‘ and the possession of which
he made no effort whatever to explain. Es-
pecial credit is due Messrs. Olmstead and
Lockwood for the energetic manner they
‘have‘ pursued this villain, and which has
happily resulted in his conviction. The
“ new court house” was honored by the pres-
ence of about half- of our leading financial
citizens for the most part of the week. It
was thought O’Kell would disclose his con-
. federates in the hope of mitigating his sen-
tence, but up to this writing he has refused
to make any disclosures. ' I
P. S.——-The sentence of O’Kell has beep
postponed until Wednesday.
_ Buying.
Our farmers hereabouts have pretty gen-
erally commenced cutting their hay crop.
Although the copious ruins of the past
month have greatly helped out and thicken-
ed up the grass, we presume in all old mead-
ows,-not specially fertilized, less than half
the crop of previous years will be obtained,
while some meadows are not worth the cut-
ting. The _manner in which the white dai-
sies are filling our fields andchoking out
the grass roots should command the serious
attention of our farmers. ,The pest has
grown to be as‘ serious as the old Canada
thistle terror, and our Agricultural societies
will have '_to take the mutterinhand. Mr;
Morris Ketchum has a very decided method
-of exterminating this weed, which is to put
an army of men into the fields as soon
as the daisy develops itself, and with
their hoes, they commence a war of ex-
termination. He says he could easily
-and quickly destroy them .if his neigb'
bors would only join in the effort. Speak-
. ing of Mr. K., reminds us that the heaviest
grass we have seen anywhere in New Eng-~
land, we saw cut on his farm last week, and
the heaviest and brightest field of wheat, we
ever saw at the west, or anywhere else,
short of California, we saw falling before
his Mc’Cormic reaper last Friday. It requir-
ed an extra man to clear the felled grain
from the sheaf-trough. Mr. Ketchum usu-
ally cuts and feeds three hundred tuns of
hay besides vast quantities of root crops.
He has the purest and finest strain of Dur-
hams—the “ Duchess”—in this country, and
» many of these animals, American bred, have
been shipped to Englandbecause they are
finer than any tobe found in the land of
their ancestors. Mr. Ketchum’s place re-
sembles more some old European Baronial
estate than a Connecticut farm, and yet his
lands only illustrate what judicious, pains-
taking cultivation will do, for when be com-
menced, the land was about the poorest and
I most uninviting of any in the town of West-
_ port.
As hay will be scarce and high, those
farmers who can, should sow corn for the
next fortnight, and later than that, all who
can should put in all the turnips possible,
thereby securing the very best povender for
their stock next; winter.
AUBURN AND HARTFORD THEOLOGICAL
SEIIINARIEs—It is an honor to the First
Congregational Church of Norwalk to have"
had for pastors two men who have been
. thought worthy to fill professorships in
these seminaries. Of the recent examina-
tion at Auburn, the Examiners report
The examination in Christian Theologv,
by Dr. Hall, exhibited a clearness and con-
densation of statement; a patient investiga-
tion of truth; an enumeration of the historic
objections and arguments relating to doc-
trine; a careful and subtle analysis of so-
phistical reuscnings, exposing their falla-
cies ; a persistent following out of abstruse
and elusive forms of error, and a stern ad-
herence to, and vigorous application of the
Word of God to‘al questions, not often, we
think, exceeded.
They also pay a high tribute to the late
Professor Pierce, Dr. Hall’s son-in-law,who
for a time filled the same pulpit, as “ an in-
struetor diligent, able, earnest, consecrated
to his work.”
The appointment of Dr. Childs to a pro-
_ fessorship at Hartford has been announced
- in these columns. The New York Evan-
, geh'ot says of him,
Dr. Childs takes the Waldo Professorship
of Biblical and Ecclesiastical Histo . It is
understood that he will be assisted i c com-
ing year by a course of lectures from Dr.
Scbalf. ' His close acquaintance and sympa-
thy with the distinctive spirit and aims of
the Seminary, his talents, scholarly habits,
and unusual acquaintance with Old Testa—
ment History, give assurance that the insti-
tution will derive marked advantage from
his labors.
Norwalk has also a partial claim to, and
an interest in, the honor of giving a new
professor to the Theological Seminary at
Bangor, Me., in the person of Rev. L. L.
Paine, who was formerly the principal Of
our Center ScbOol—the more entitled to such
claim and interest because in Norwalk the
professor found his “ better half.”
W Berries of all kinds were never finer
than this year. ’ The late rains did the busi-
ness for all small fruits.

“ Gleaiiiugo mm Fuller’s, Field.”
Rev. Geo. Fuller’s lecture, delivered in the
Second M. E. Church last Wednesday even-
ing, as above, was not largely attended, by
reason of a hard shower just about the time
for its commencement. However, a consid-
erable number were present, and were well
paid for their trouble. The lecture, espe-
cially to a Methodist audience, was replete
with interest. R'eminiscences of his. early
life and ministry, interesting historical
sketches, and anecdote of thrilling interest,
abounded, which held his auditors with un-
flagging attention during the time of its de-
livery. Many expressed a desire for its rep-
etition; and those who were present will
not soon forget some of the incidents which
herelated. '
The whole thing was remarkably unique,
and altogether characteristic Mr. Fuller
has been a “ Boalwrges ” in his day; and the
old fire scintillates and sparkles again, as he
rehearses the thrilling adventures of an old
Itinerant.

The Honolulu Advertiser is responsible
for the statement that a harpoon was found
in a recently-captured whale,.in the arctic
seas on the western side of the continent,
that was known to belong to a ship at that
time cruising in the arctic seas on the oppo-
site side of the continent. The supposition
is that the whale passed from one open sea
to another out the pole ; and he must have
found open water, for Whales must occasidn-
ally come to the surface to blow.—E.echange.
W This has reference to the Capt. Ho-
man whale story, narrated by us last week.
There can be no doubt of the facts as out-

DEAR GAZETTE—It occurred to me that
it might be interesting to you to receive a
short description of our trip to Ridgefield
last Friday evening}, .At' our session last
Monday evening, Bros. Byin’gtOn and St.
John of Pilgrim Lodge, N o. 46,were present
and extended an invitation to the members
of Our Brothers’ Lodge to visit them on the
evening of Friday, June 30. Pilgrim Lodge
was once in a flourishing condition,but ow-
ing" to circumstances unknown to me, be-
came dormant and has remained in that
condition a. number of years, but lately the
cause of Odd Fellowship has revived, and
they are again in working order.'
The hour of starting was 6 o’clock, when
up drove our Jehu, with his enormous feet
in;_ By this time we had 28 men—jolly 28.
No seats there for over 20, so our city breth-
ren procured a back. The clock struck 6,
our Jehu cracked his whip, and 011' flew the
horses. Our course was direct; from Main
street to Pudding Lane, thence through Dust
Alley or Randlé’s Lane to Wilton, etc. All
who had cigars lit them; those who had
plenty and did not want touse them borrow-
‘ ed of Camp, he having been foolish enough
to buy, a bunch. We had a lovely night
and thoroughly enjoyed the ride, listening
to songs,stories and jokes.
We arrived at Pilgrim Lodge Room at 1-2
past S—a dusty crowd. Marched in and
took possession, by request of Brother Scott
N. G., and conducted the exercises of the
evening. We had .some stirring speeches
from Bros. Olmstead, Curtis, Stout and
Smith of Our Brothers and from Bros. Scott
and Byington of Pilgrim Lodge. Closed at
11 o,clock, after which refreshments were
served up in a handsome style to which our
boys did ample justice. We then adjourned
to Brother Scott’s Store, at his request, to
test- his famous Soda. . ‘
We did our best but the fountain beat us,
it held too much, so we gave it up and start-
ed for home at 12 o'clock. Reached our
domicile at half past 2. Well take it all in
all,wc had a splendid time and hope at some
future day to return the compliment to our
Ridgefield brethren. ' T.

he has further-reduced the total of Funded
Gold-bearing debt since May 1; by the sum

A CALIFONIA MINING ExPEnIENcn.—Al-
vinza Hayward is the hero of a story mine]
to “Monte Cristo.” He is a Vermonter, who
operated with aman named Chamberlaine,
in a gold lead which was full ofindications,
but yielded notlfiig tangible. .
laine at last went away diconsolate, giving
Hayward all his interest. The latter worked
at the thing for months, and was buried
deeper and deeper in the ground, but at last
his family were next to starving, all hisla-
borers left him, and he knew of no friend in
the world except Chamberlaine. “My God i”
he said to this man, who had meantime
been engaged in stock rgising, “I am on the
verge of this great strike. I know it. Can’t
you give me a little money '
r” Chamberlaine
had been on the verge himself several times,
and shook his head sadly. But he had $3,-
000—hisall—buried under a. hay stack near
by, an he went and du it up. “Take it old
fellow,” he said, with alifornia heartincss;
“do your best.” With this money Hayward
recommenced, and he had worked it until
it was all spent, and his men were reduced
to a bag of beans for nourishment, when to
the gloom of hope the precious ore blazed
suddenly up; the Amador mine was the
richest in the world. when this mine was
paying $40,000 a month, Hayward made
over to his fi'icnd a perfect third of it. Cham-
berlaine retired upon $1,500,000, and moved
.east to educate his children, Hayward buy-
ing back the whole. Finally, evenHayward
grew tired, and be sold out the mine to a
stock company, of which General Colton, is
president. The mine will make $450,000
net this year, and Colton said last week :‘
“The Amador mine will hold out lon er
than we will.”—S¢m Francisco Letter to hi-
cago Tribum.

ble situations in't 'ecity wascb’OBen for e
new buildin , in the. very midst. of the gran-
deurs of Fifi and Madison-eves. —That the
‘difiicult task of making a railroad depot an
ornament to the most ornamental part of
this city has been well accomplished, is gen-
erally conceded by those who visit the new
building. , ~ -'
The ground selected at Forty-second st.
from the- fine mansions of the avenues to pre-
vent annoyances fl'om smoke and noise.
The depot proper is in the shape of- a half
which reach the
ing that form. he ornamental buildings
on the south and west sides, are quite ex-
traneous to the main depot, and follow; for.
the most part, the architectural style of the'
Renaissance. The pressed brick of all this-
ironfacin s, which, when kept well painted-
are a goo imitation of marble. An entire
square, extending from Forty-fourth to For-
ty-fifth st. (five acres), is covered b the
building, which is 692=fect long and 0 feet
wide. Although tlle‘front is not more im-
posing than that of some Western depots,
the appearance of the whole, as seen from
the south-west, is more striking than that of
any similar building on this continent, and
probably in the world. As to size it is un-
surpassed. The depot of the great Midland
road ofLondon is ofexactl the same width,
but is five feet shorter. be towers of the
fi‘ont (the central one is 130 feet high and
the others 110 feet—the three towers of the
west side 110 feet), together With a. few
patches ofnearly perpendicular roof, are cov-
ered with slate. All the main roof is cover-
ed with glass and iron. Even the sheds over
the sidewalks, where passengers most fre-
quent] enter the building, are half covered
with g ass.
The west side presents a curious succes-
sion of towers, interspersed with sections of
frontage, resembling isolated mansions.
There are many doorways on this side, giv-
ing access to the saloons on the first floor,
the great rooms in the basement—which are
to be rented to various tenants, who will be
of use to passengers—and the long suits of
business ofiices in the upper stories. The
north end is entirely devoted to giving in-
gress and exit to the railroad trains—the
whole space being taken up by iron doors
and doorways. The view from any point
inside the great dome-like roofis very grand.
The intricate network of iron arches and
rods, half covered with thick glass, seems,
when the sun shines upon it, like a gigantic
cobweb in the sunshine after a rain. The
12 tracks are divided into groups of two, by
elevated walks.

When you construct a home, always con-
sult a good architect, that you may secure

A‘three-foot gauge railway, the first in
this cOnntry has been begun in Chenango
County N. Y. It will . extend, m'a Auburn
and Cortlandt to the Lakes. '
The viaduct constituting the “approach”
to the East River Bridge, from the depot at
.Chatham street to the anchor wall, will be
1,336 feet long and on account of its great
width (85 feet), its construction will involve
even more serious problems than that or the
.Viaduct Railway. The Bridge viaduct will
Clear the housetops for part of the distance;
but in this portion, as well as in the art
beyond, it will be very liable to injury om
the burning of buildin 3 below. So rave
is this difficulty that it is anticipated t at it
will be necessary to purchas the ound re-
quired for a wide avenue, in the line of the
Bridge, from Cbatham street to the river.
Upon this a row of fire-proof warehouses
must, it is thought, be built, in such a man-
ner‘as to make their frame—work, in part of
the viaduct supports. The expense involv-
ed in this project will, however be enor-
mous, and in view of it the remark recently
made in the Chamber of Commerce, that
“Brooklyn unaided,cannotbuild the Brid e,’
becomes quite intelligible. The Brid 8
Company appears to have hesitated thus 'r
to grapple with this tglreat question, leaving
it for solution in. e future. Prominent
business men of New York and Brooklyn
express the belief that from $20,000,000 to
$25,000,000 will be required for the building
ducts, together'with the purchase. of the
avenues which will be required, the cost in-'
volved in destroying the buildings now
standing, and the construction of new and
more massiveones. The Brooklyn mana-
gers appear to see no way out of the dilem-
m'a‘but by urging the early consolidation of
that city with New-York, and some confi-
dently assert that this consolidation will
long precede the completion .Of the Bridge.

The great need of educated veterinary sur-
geons is striklingly exemplified in the igno-
rance manifested concerning the epidemic
which has broken out among horses here.
There is no reason why the diseases of the
brute should not be as well-understood, and
as successfully treated, as those prevailing
amOl‘JIg human beings. Instead of being
one eterinary College in America, there
should be one or more in every State.

OBITUARY.
DIED.—III N orwalk, Coma, June 11, Mr. Robert
A. Beckwith, aged 36 years. .
In the 1prime and perfection of his manhood, our
Bro. Bee with has been called to his long home, and
we, his life-long friends, make brlef record of his
many endearing virtues. Born and reared in Bris-
tol, from whence he removed about eleven years
since to Norwalk. and engaged'in successful busi-
ness—making an estimable citizen—winning hosts
of friends—he had but just got ready to enter upon
a more perfect and happy life, when the fatal dis-
ease marked him for its victim, and .claimed him as
its own. Kind and lovxng friends painfully watched
the sad pro ress of decay, and lingered near to catch
the last wh spcrings of affectionate farewell; “where
thou art gone adlcus and farewells are a‘ sound un-
known.” Robert has gone to the othcrland, and we
who knew him best shall grieve and miss him most.
Words are unfit for our sorrow—tears fail to relieve
our sadness. Our loss is irreparable ~nosnecessor for
such aB. B. Endowed with a nature and disposi-
tlon rarely equalled—so full of bright spots peculiar-
more apparent with mature years -jusl: as
is perfect parts the work was r one—the
becomln
we had
last picture taken, the record finished; we have laid
him to rest .On the hillside near his native heath,
where he will peacefully sleep until the resurrection
morn,—-then to receive the crown of glory Promised
thafm‘chful. .
The order of 13. 31-05.. a local society, of which
Bro. Beckwith was an honored member, and one of
its founders, has acted in this dispensation, by r‘e-
solving: '
That in the death of our esteemed brother, one of
our very best is taken. one of our main pillars gone,
an honest man, be noblest. of his klnd,—onr conso-
lation is in the confidence that our loss is his gain,
an exchange of the cross for the crown. To the
widow and fatherless we tender our {Internet regard
and sympathy in this their sore llereavement,_and
assure them of our future favor. In token of our re-
membrance of him we loved so well, we will wear
the badge of mourning, and spread these doing:
upon our record, and present copies to family and
friends.
