DY GEORGE L. OA'I‘LIN.
I know a path that leads across the meadow,
Then winds along beside the streamlet’s flow,
Then turns again beneath the beach tree’s shadow,
Andlcads to where the sweetest wild flowers grow.
At curly morn, ere yet the sun has lighted
Each diamond dew-drop. s 'ling in the grass;
While yet the lurk, half-frien‘haif-uffrighicd,
Pipe forth his matin warbllugs as I pass—
' C
While yet the clear, cool breeze of morn gives token,
In the softest whispers of the coming day—-
I love to seek the solitude unbroken,
To which this winding footpath leads the way:
For there my restless soul, itself attnning,
To Nature’s sweetest, most harmonious strains,
And,’niid the flowers and whispering trees, commun-
lug
With Nature’s God, forgets its cares and pains,
Casts off awhile its weight of earthly sorrow.
Takes wings, and views, with vision long and fond,
Bright glimpses of hereafter's sunny morrow—
The gmden land of happiness beyond.

am manna. notilas a co.
ago for the moderate sum of $30,000. It was
then a mere piece of waste land, overgrown
with bushes and patches of scrub oak and
cedar. Mr. Woodward at the time owned
a snug and unpretending place on the bay
immediately adjoining this property, which
he threw. into the common park. Here
stands his residence, a spacious and comfort-
able looking frame building, without any
pretentious to exterior beauty. It is the out-
growth of what wasoriginally a farm house,
to which the present proprietor has made
sundry additions and some embellishments.
But he seems to have given the most atten-
tion to the out-buildings and surroundings,
.
which are on an extensive scale.
woonwann’s RETREAT.
His conservatory, which would be ample
for a professional florist, abounds with the
most rare and beautiful mccimens of the flo~
ral kingdom. His graperies, both cold and
warm, are very extensive and beautiful, as
are his holhouses for vegetables and foreign
fruits. Considerable space, a littleTcmoved
from the residence and hidden from it by
the configuration of the ground, is laid out
in vegetable gardens, or thickly planted
with a choice variety of fruit trees. Mr. W3
stables and carriage house are large, built
Willi great regard to architecltural bean-
ty. They abound with every modern cou-
venience. His carriage house is filled with
a splendid assortment of carriages and adapt-
ed for all uses, while his stables shelter ten
or a dozen high metiied horses. Nest and.
pretty residences for gardeners, coachmen,
stablemen, and other servants are located on
the grounds near to the residence of the pro-
prietor, though hidden from view from
the mansion by the intervention of a grove
of native trees. The lawn in front of the
residence abounds with flowers, statuary,
and bronze ornaments.
All of this occupies the grounds originally
owned by Mr. Woodward before the later
purchase above alluded to, and which now
comprises the common park held by him-
self and Mr. Ingersoil. This park covers
what has been locally known as Haye,s Hill
a commanding elevation immediately overs
looking the bay, the Sound, the city of South
Norwalk, and the country for miles away.
It is an irregular, circular knoll, rising atOs
highest point to about 100 feet above the
water. -
THE HON. J. u. INCERSOLL’s CHATEAU.
On this extreme elevation stands the im-
posing summcr residence of Mr. Ingersoll.
The building was commenced immediately
on the purchase of the property, about two
years ago, and is now just occupied for'tlie
first time. In general outline the house is a
French chateau. It is a frame building,
about fifty feet square, three stories in height,
with _a basement under all. The third or
«upper story is formed by a high Mansard
roof, pierced with dormer windows corres-
pondingwitii the windows inctiie floors be-
neath. The two dormer windows nearest
the corners, both on the cast and west sides,
are surmounted by very pretty pinnacles,
strictly in keeping with the general design of
the building. '
0n the south front a square tower rises
from the ground to the height of a. full story
above the rest of the building, capped with
a steep, peaked roof, and fllrnishing in its
upper section a charming observatory. A
broad covered piazza. completely surroimds
the first or main floor of this elegant build-
ing, and completes the harmony of its exte-
rior design. The whole. is painted alight
fawn colOr, with shadings ofa more positive
brown.
INTERIOR DECORATIONS AND FURNITURE.
The interior finish is of the most elegant
and costly character. Heavy wainscolings
. of black-walnut and rosewood are a conspic-
ous feature of the broad hulls, staircases, and
principal saloons. The ceilings of the halls
drawing rooms, dining rooms, and other
chief apartments are beautifully paneled
and frescoed. The stairs are all of solid
black walnut. The glass in the windows.
from the basement to the dormer windows,
is the clearest of French plate. The furni-
ture Illl‘OilgIIl. is in keeping with the elegance
of the house, and is pronounced by compe-
tent judges to be the most costly in the State
of Connecticut.
A gentleman who has had opportunities
for inspecting both pronounces that of Mr.
Ingersol to be superior to that in the mag-
nificent marble palace of Mr. Lagrand Lock-
wood which ornaments lhc same city. Mr.
Lockwood’s furniture is reported to have
cost $100,000. The cost of Mr. Ingersoll's
is unknown, but its value can be inferred
fi'om this comparison. Doubtlcss Mr. Inger—
soll’s familiarity with furniture, and his con-
nection with its manufacture, us well as his
large transactions in. furnishing the N cw
Court House in this city, have enabled him
to make selections with better advantage
than ordinary purchasers.
THE sunnouunzNCs OF THE CHATEAU.
But we must leave this almost regal resi-
dence to give a hasty glance at its surround-
ings. There are no, outbuildings whatever
in sight near this chateau, all the servants’
residences being removed to a site on the
western slope of the elevation, and bid by
convenient clusters of trees. Nor are there
any gardens sccn. Indeed, Mr. Ingesroll has
no garden as yet, if he ever intends having
any. The space about the house is all laid
out in lawn, with ornamental shrubbcry
patches of flower beds, colossal urns filled
with flowers, statuary, and similar tasteful
works, adorning it. Abroad carriage road
leads away by a winding course, and easy ile-
scent to either of the two grand entrances to
the park, and also to the residence of Mr.
' Woodward, above described. Mr. Inger-
soll’s stables and carriage houses, built in
the same style of architecture as the residence
stand at the base of the hill on the Sound
side, and can only be seen from the buy.
They confiin a fine display of horses and
carriages, though not as extensive as those
of Mr. Woodward.
Tun rm.
Itself affords a pleasing variety of hill and
dale, open grassy lawn and shady retreats,
with broad drives leading to all the more
bel‘tifui and sightly spots, with the handy-
work of the sculptor, or the joint efforts of
nature and a skillful gardener, greeting one
at every turn. And when it is remembered
that but two years ago this Edenslike place
was a mere waste spot, overgrown with
bushes and briers ; the common feeding
ground of the stray cows of the town, the
lavish expenditure of money that has been
necessary to bring it so speedily up to its
present‘egrce of perfection can be appre-
ciated. .
The entire park is enclosed with a substan-
tial stone wall, laid with mortar and capped
with cut stone, costing $6 per running foot
for construction alone. There are two prin-
cipal entrances to the park, one from Wood-
ward avenue—the direct way to Mr. Wood-
ward's residence—and the other by a pri-
vate road constructed along the west side,
outside the wall, leading from Woodward
avenue toward the bay, and which loads
more directly to Mr. Ingersoll's residence.
These entrances can be used,however. inter-
changeably, the park being open throughout,
and its system of drives leading to either
house. The gates are of iron, swinging on
high, square, cut granite posts, surmounted
with. lanterns for gas. Gas is introduced
throughout the park and in all the buildings,
the supply being drawn from the Norwaik
gas works.
GARVEY’S ISLAND.
Just opposite the ufiper end of this park is
a little island, elevated ten or twelve feet
above high tide, in the bay, separated from
the mainland by a little arm of the bay that
is nearly dry at low water. This was for-
merly known as Reed’s Island. It contains
but five or six acres of ground. It was
bought about a year ago by Mr. Andrew J.
Garvey for the sum of $10,000. It is reached
from lewn by the drive around the west
side of the park, as described above, which
has been constiilctcd expressly for this pur-
pose at no small expensc,becuusc of the wet
and marshy nature of the ground over
which it passes. A stone causway and bridge '
guarded by gateways Of iron, with iron rail—
ing on each side, spans the bayou or arm'of
the buy that separates the Island from the
main land. This approach has been built
since the purchase of the island by Mr.
Garvey. ' '
The islandiiseif is fringed with a natural
growth of chestnut and oak trees of great
size and rarebeauty. A drive under this gen-
onrons shade extends entirely around the
island, having, recently been constructed as
a part of the improvement of the property
now making on so liberal a scale by the new
proprietor. ll'lr. Garvey is also building near
the center of the island
AN ELEGANT SUMMER RESIDENCE.
This building, which was commenced a
year ago, is now inclosed, but not' yet finish-
ed inside. It is more modest in its dimen-
sions than the chateau of Mr. Ingersoll, and
somewhat more American in style though
finished and furnished in the same sumptu-
ous and costly manner. Mr. Garvey has ex-
hibited great taste in the arrangement of his
grounds, combining the useful with the or-
namental to remarkable extent. Fruits and
flowers are planted in abundance with ample
provision for the supply of the kitchen and
all without seeming encroachment upon the
beautiful lawn that surrounds the dwelling.
Charming walks are a‘feaiure of this isolated
retreat, the ornamentation of which, as well
as of the drives, will not be on an inferior
scale to that of the walks and drives in the
park above described.
The outhouses for servants and stables,
carriage houses, and other necessary nor.
roundings, on a liberal scale, are well under
way, but not far enough progressed to jus-
tify description at this time. The place
will not probably be ready for occupancy
before next summer, by which time it will
doubtless be in as perfect a condition as any
in its vicinity.
The earthquake in the Philippine Islands.
Mcy lst, affected in a terrible manner the
small island of Gamaquip, five miles from
Misomis. For some months previously, es-
pecially in March, there was a succession SLf
violent shocks, which . opened extensivb
crevices in the earth. Finally, on May 1st,
the level plain near the village of Catarmin
begun gradually to subside, until the tops
of the houses became level with the ground,
This remarkable phenomenon attracted a
large. number of people, when suddenly
some terrific shocks were felt, and before
the thundering .reverberaiions had (lied
away, the whole level plain fell in, engulf.
ing one hundred and fifty persons. The
plain became the crater of a volcano, fifteen
hundred feet wide, and from it smoke, ashes
and stones were thrown into the air. A
pause till dark succeeded, when there was
another explosion, and a rain of fire follow
ed. The woods became ignited, and men
and cattle went flying before the flames.
The spectacle was frightful in the extreme.
The volcano continues toeject stones and
earth, The inhabitants have left the island,
the population of which was 26,000.
'EUCHRE IN Cannon—0n Sunday‘ even-
ing a sensation was created in the Presby-
terian Church at Springfield, L. I. Two
young men satin a pew with a young lady
between them. Their conduct attracted
such marked attention as to disturb the
minister, who was preaching on the casting
out of devils. The sexton advanced to the
seat and discovdred that the young lady had
her dress drawn ’tightly across her knees,
and on it the young men Were’having an
enjoyable game of cuclirc. They were forc-
ed to make a quick exit. The indignation
of the people is aroused, and there is talk of
having them arrested.
Great fire in Guadeloupe, 30,000 people
homeless. A dispatch from Halifax of the
lst inst, says; The steamer Delta, from
Bermuda, arrived last evening, bringing in-
telligence ot a fire at Point-au-Pitre, Guada-
loupe, on the 181k ult. Nearly the whole
town was destrc ycd, and thirty thousand
persons were left withoiit shelter. The only
buildings that escaped were a church, thea-
tcr, tribunal building and hospital. There
were also many Wllfll‘VeS burned, and cargoes
ready for shipping destroyed The fire coni-
nienccd in the middle of the town, and the
Wind being very high, the flames spread in
all directions. The town was rebuilt entire-
ly of wood after its dcstrucliou by an earth-

been the work ofun incendiary.
