Tuesday,‘August 15. 1871.
The voice of the peach seller is heard in
the land, and rather too often for musical
effect.
The Norwalk Choral Union has voted to
discontinue its meetings until the first Tues-
day in September. '
Winsted has had a. Baby Show, twenty-
six cherubs from two to forty-eight months
old were entered.
The Shepaug Valley Railroad is being
rapidly pushed forward to its connection
with the Danbury. The New Haven Car
Company has just finished some fine pas-
senger cars for it, and its rails will Soon be
dewn, and in readiness for the immediate
operation of the upper portion of the road.
The Winsted Herald is now printed by
steam, and Brother Vaill now has power
That he can rely upon. A servant, it is true,
that may go off on a bust and get high if
neglected, but that never gets drunk, and is.
ready to do his bidding at all times, in sea-
son or out of season, rain or shine, hot or
cold, picnic or no picnic, if only properly
fed and cared for.
Gen. Roberts of the regular army has in-
vented a very simple and, as is claimed, ef-
fective, curb bit, for hard mouthed horses.
It is manufactured by 0. B. North do 00.,
New Haven, and is well worth a trial, by
any one having a hard-billed horse.
An old man named. Patrick Ford, was
picked rip last week, in the Amphitheatre,
in an insensible condition, by Selectman
Selleck, and conveyed to the alms house,
where be next day expired. He came to
N orwalk from Long Island, hoping to gel
WC' 4 on our water works, and being old,
feeb and ill be strayed away to the grove
where he was found.
Next winter Gough is going to talk about
“Will it Pay ?”
Mrs. Isaac Toucey died suddenly ,in Hart-
ford, last Sunday evening. Mrs. C. L. Val-
landigham died in Maryland on Sunday
last. The shocking death of her husband
shattered her reason.
The Brooklyn Yacht Club will rendezvous
at Glen.Cove,Tuesday, the 22d, and sail on
its annual regatta. At New London, on the
25th, twenty or more yachts will join the
cruise. ‘
The mission of the United States Treas-
ury agents to Frankfort is fulfilled. The
whole amount remaining of the new loan,
$130,000,000, has-been placed on the terms
fixed by the Government. -
The Derby Railroad commenced running
regular trains last week and is now fairly
' in competition with other roads and deserv-
ing of consideration, for it has also com-
menced the'accident business, having run a
train of cars over 'a deaf and dumb man in
Birmingham, last Thursday, seriously injur-
ing him.
The amount of interest taken in musical
performances of a high order in Norwalk is
shown by the following facts: -—-On the 5th
and 7th insts.,750 circulars were distributed
calling for subscriptions to the Parlor Opera
performance of “Maritana :” up to Saturday
night 13th inst. twenty-three (23) persons rc-
sponded to the call, and fifty-four (54) tick-
cts were subscribed for! As the number re-
quired before proceeding would be at least
200 the enterprise must be abandoned. Ifit
had been a negro minstrel troupe which de-
sired to perform, there can be no doubt as
to the response it would have met with.
Comment is unnecessary.
There was a lively contest in the bidding
for remOving the earth beneath the New
Haven track at the Down Town crossing.
Martin Grace was in with his bid, of course,
and then our water works contractors tried
. a hand at it, but Martin, who has learned a
few Yankee tricks, by his long association
with our town authorities, had a“ friend”
in the pool, with a bid also, and which was
below all others, and when the successful
bidder was announced, the smiling counte-
nance of the bland Martin, was seen to as-
sume a more placid hue than usual, while
the defeated rivals were heard to mullet—
“ For ways that are dark and for tricks that
are vain, that Irishman Grace is peculiar.”
But then that is only true when after a job,
with lively competition behind him.
Rev. D. Lathrop, of Stamford, preached al
the Baptist church, on Sunday last, and Rev.
Mr. Paxson of Missouri, preached at the
First Congregational church.
Martin Grace yrsterday commenced the
work of excavating the gravel under the
track of the N. Y. & N. 'H. Railroad, on
East Avenue, yesterday morning. The
gravel is to be used in filling up hollow s
and repairing roads generally.
The editor of the Danbury News, with
commendable local pride, does not believe
that the much-pufi‘ed-up Ansonia Opera
House can be quite equal to the new Hall in
Danbury. ,
We learn that Mr. F. H. Nash has left
Trinity Church, Bridgeport, and is now or-
ganist of Christ Church, same city.
W The New Haven & Derby Railroad
is now running regular passenger trains
over its rorid and receives an unexpected
patronage. Glad-of it, for if there ever was
a railroad enterprise fairly “ worried " into
completion, it is this important little link in
the chain of New Haven’s prosperity. Re-
ferring to its first train over the road, last
week, we said Assistant P. M. Harrison did
the honors of conductor. We should more
appropriately have said Secretary Harrison,
for he has been the faithful scribe of that
corporation these four years and more, and
for all his anxious. labors and share in the
“ worry” be was honored by wearing the
Conductor’s uniform for the first day’s run-
ning and the first train over the road, and
we can onlyr add that no one could perceive
but his “ honors were easy.” Again, we say
prosperity attend the little Derby, for “ the
builders have builded greater. than they
knew.”
[3' The Rev. Mr. Paxson, of Missouri,
who occupied Mr. Dunham’s pulpit on Sun-
day, remarked that “twenty-two years ago
Robert Hall first conceived his plan of s. ro-
tary type cylinder press,” etc. At the same
moment there was sitting in the gallery at
the left of the speaker, and all unknown to
him, as to fame, a grey-haired manwhose
eager brain was even then pressing his head
forward of his slight, bent form, who was
the first originator and inventor of the cylin-
der press, and whose conception the Hoes
have simply improved upon and elaborated.
We refer to Mr. Henry Betts, whose rare in-
ventive genius was directed to this matter
by observing the clumsy performances of
an old Frankhn ramage press in the hands
of S. .Williston Benedict, in the office of the
NORWALK GAzn'rrn. The same brain, too,
was the first to conceive . of a Pacific rail-
road, and eighteen years before any word or
line was ever printed, he had .ublished in
these columns his plan in detail for that
great master-work of the nineteenth century.
“ Honor to whom honor," etc.
.ca'The story put in circulation that Mr.
Louder had leased his new store at South
Norwalk to the Lounsbury Brothers, is not
true. He is hurrying up his building, and
it will be an attractive structure when

W Monsieur Ray, steward of the Nelly

Scorn Norman—The Sabbath services
in all the churches were more then usually
interesting, especially so in the monthly Sab-
bath school concerts. At the Methodist
church the missionary collection from each
class was received, and amounted in total to
$34.08. The banner was awarded for the
month to “ The Lilies of the Fiel ,” who
contributed $4.05, and thus exceeded the
“Faithful Ones ” by five cents. This ban-
nor of blue silk is lettered in gold,“ Send
Glad Tidings.” The school was then ad-
dressed by Rev. Mr. Davis of the Baptist
Tabernacle. -
The Baptist school was fully attended,
and was addressedliy Mr. Jones, ofChicago;
and Mr. John Haullenbeck, of Norwalk; :1
description of Jerusalem and 'Damascus was
given by a late resident of Mount Lebanon.
. At the Congregational church the services
were varied, and very interesting. The
opening prayer by E. C. Bissell, Superin-
tendent ofthe First Congregational Sabbath
School; addresses by Rev. Mr. Allis, Mis-
sionary Paxson,and F.‘A. Ferris. Mr. Fer~
ris’s late experience during a visit to the
West was full of interest. Mr. Paxson’s
narratives of his work as a Sabbath School
Missionary was thrilling, and left a deep im-
pression one his hearers, both old and young.
At the close the school passed a vote of
thanks to Messrs. Paxson and Allis.

35‘ The Old We'll Club Building is rapid-
ly progressing, and is to have an iron front.
The two stores on the ground floor will be
‘the finest in town. The Opera House block
is receiving its mansard roof and presents a
grand and imposing appearance. The new
Hall is intended to be patterned somewhat
after that little gem in Ansonia and is de-
signed to eclipse everything else,other th
that, in the state. It will be a credit to Nor-
walk and we always rejoice to note any im-
provement of a public character, designed to
beget or enhance an interest in our beauti-
ful go-ahead town.

W Our friends to the eastward have for
a long time been intent upon securing the
construction of a railroad from Westport up
the Saugatuck to Newtown or Bethe]. Thus
far they have failed of success for the want
of a sufficient capital to build the road. We
‘ think in the new, and as it would seem,
thoroughly tested “narrow gauge” system,
our friends have a chance of success. The
money already secured, would build a “nar-
row gauge” road, and there could be no
possible opposition to it on the part of any
existing road, while for all the passengers
and freight likely to be furnished the road,
such a system would be abundantly able to
accommodate. We are confident such a
road would pay,‘ and doubt if any other
would, and we hope it may be at once com-
menced.
(13‘ A very comical account is given us
of the experiences of an ambitious grocery
merchant of Winnipauk, who came down
here supposing he could stand his hand with
some of our heavy feeders of the “ Bridge,”
at a free entertainment. The contest open-
ed mildly with light skirmishing, to the evi-
dent encouragement of young Winnipauk,
but when the heavy viands were brought
forward, he was nowhere! But with a grit
and determination worthy of a better cause,
he kept at his eating, till his cuticle was dis-
tended to frightful p1 oportions,but it was no
use, the “Bridge” was too much for all his
efforts, and he was borne ingloriously from
the field, defeated, routed. Being of an ac-
tive temperament, he could not sleep ofi' his
gorge like the “Bridge” anacondas, and the
Way the poor gourmand has suffered in
“discharging cargo” has been a thing more
frightful to see than anything in the experi-
ences of that “heathen Chinee.”

to his thoughts, but knowing that the soap
was a most excellent article and that it was
just the thing some of ourfn’ends needed, he
sent it to us, so that, in- case we found it
efficacious, we could recommend it to our

will add that it may be procured atGeorge

W The Weston Boarding School to the
number of about a hundred came .down on
their annual clam-bake to Gregory’s Point
on Thursday last. The cadets were brought
to town by the several carry-ans of our
town liverymen turn—out, and dismounting,
formed in line and marched in fine military
order through our streets to South Norwalk,
under the leadership of Capt. Flint of West
Point. At the Point the cadets were taken-
on board the sloop George Law and made a
fine sail up and down the Sound until their
dinner was ready. Scholes had about fifty
bushels of clams and oysters exquisitely
roasted for the young gentlemen and their
friends and invited guests. After dinner
they were reviewed and gave a ecimen of
their excellence'in drill, and n, with a
plunge in the salt-sea waves, left for their
homes, with nothing to mar the pleasures of
the unusually delightful day. Silver 65

We had another narrow escape from

o’clock last Wednesday morning, Police-
man Foster discovered a fire in Banks
Morchouse’s stables. With Policeman Sul--
livan’s assistance he at once woke up three
men sleeping in the building, pumped water
and succeeded in putting out the flames be-
fore much damage had been done. It seems
that the fire had been kindled in a vacant
stall, directly under the manger. If it had
remained undiscovered ten minutes longer.
or the .discoverers had waited to sound the
alarm and get out the fire department, the
result would have been a bad fire. The
above-named officers are deserving of praise
for the efficient means they took for extin-

. [3‘ The Wm, in a lengthy review
the Treasury Department, pays the follow-
ing well-merited (as we personally know)
compliment to one of the clearest-headed
and m'ost active and valuable ofiicers in the
government service :" '
Mr. James H. Saville, Chief Clerk of the
Treasury Department, is about thirty years
of age, and is a promising young. man. He
has'a perfect acquaintance with all the de-
tails and routine duties of the Secretary’s
ofilce proper,» as well as of all the bureaus
that go to make up this immense Depart-
ment. He has a thousand and one questions to
answer in a day, as many points to decide,
and beside this has to make a general review
of the business transacted for the day by the
_variqus division; chiefs above mentioned.
Their letters or decisions are reviewed and
checked by him, and then transmitted either
to Assistant Secretary Hartley or Secretary
Boutwell for Si ature. He has made the
duties of the office clear and concise, but ter-
ribly onerous. It is a bit of gossip that he is
now on his bridal tour somewhere in Cali-
fornia, and that it is reported that when he
.returns he will at once arrange for his de-
parture to Japan to establish a Treasur De-
partment and financial system genera ly in
that country at a salary of $25,000 pervan-
num for five consecutive years. .
The Superintendent’s duties are now per-
mmed by Mr. Saville, with the assistance of
Mr. Andrew Gibney. These duties are nu-
merous, consisting m the buying of fuel and’
furniture, selling all old articles, superin-
tending the watchmen, messengers, sweep-
ers, etc. Mr. Saville has but one phono-
graphic clerk to assist him in his general
duties. Secretary Boutwell divides his la-
bors with Assistant Secretaries Hartle and
Richardson. He has an aecomplishe pho-
nographic clerk to write his private letters
and act as his Private Secretary. This com-
prises the Secretary’s office proper, under
the new or nization and reform, and alto-
gether emp oys less than two hundred clerks
at an expense of $30,000 per month less than
formerly. .

WoltCreok Sunday School.
The region beyond the Mississippi River,
stretching out to the Pacific Ocean, appear
a broad and shallow field to the Christian
Sower, where he must occasionally encoun-
ter savage beasts, and more savage men.
But the wolfshall dwell with thelamb, and a
subdue them. A missionary of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union, writing from a
Post-office 300 miles west of St.Louis, speaks
of'a Sunday school organized by him,a
year ago, in a neighborhood acquiring its
name from the multitude of wolves inhabit-
ing that region. That school has caused
great changes. Sunday used to be spent in
hunting wolves, bears and other game, but
now is employed in reading and studying
God’s word; where cursing, swearing and
fighting have given place to praying and
singing Sunday school songs. The school
beginning‘with-tio, now has 100 regular at-
tendants. There was 'no preaching; but
meetings every week; and there is a propo-
sal of a church. organization. The Sunday
school already proposes to aid the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union in establishing
other schools. This missionary has estab-
lished six Bible schools, inas many different
neighborhoods, during the past month.

Phebe Carey. never married—not, howev-

to fight the battle of life alone, Phebe would
have married years ago. A distinguished
American divine, whose name is in all the
churches, once offered her his hand and
heart. But her only possible husband was
Alice. She remained wedded to this mate
for life—and reclasps her again after death.

Through the British Provinces.
In this age of rapid, cheap and comforts-
ble passenger transportation from one point
.to another, there are few sections of this
country or of the civilized world with which
our people are not quite familiar. The num-
ber of Americans visiting the Old Country
increases every year, and the passage from
New, York to Liverpool in fast sailing, ele-
gantly furnished steamers is hardly regarded
as such a great event in a person’s life expe-
riences as was formerly the ride in a stage
coach from Boston to New York. Ameri-
cans are always restless, always ‘on the go,’
and in the way of business or pleasure are
sure to see much of the world. Of late pleas-
' ure travel has increased to a remarkable ex-
tent, and. every summer all the leading
points of interest are visited by excursion-
ists ‘in droves,’ and steamboats and railroads
reap rich harvests in transporting mere sight
scars, and in many cases without the money
thus obtained valuable lines of communica-
tion would be given up for want of support.
But notwithstanding that our people are
thus given to travel there is one part of the
country, long settled, which is seldom visit-
ed by tourists and with which people in
this section, especially, are unfamiliar. We
allude to Eastern Maine and the Lower Brit-
ish Provinces. This section has thus been
“left out in the cold,” partly because the
tide of travel has naturally been to the West
and South,partly becauseit is an out-of-the
way corner with poor communication, and
partly because there are no great natural
wonders and remarkable objects of interest
to attract the multitude. The tide of travel
seems turning that way,however,and proba-
bly within a few years,—when communica-
tion is more direct and connection closer,—
this will form a part of the “All Around”
route, and “Americans” will not be scarce in
the Provinces, in Summer at least. “An-
nexation” will be the natural consequence,
and this accomplished, Prince Edward Is-
land ,will become, a fashionable resort
for invalids and Summer boarders!
Having just returned from this section we
propose giving your readers a few brief
notes of the trip. We found some difficulty
before starting in getting reliable informa-
tion as to best routes, connections, etc, , but
the route selected we now think was the
best we could have taken in hot weather for
comfort and pleasure. We left good old
Norwalk on the morning of July 18th in the
Nelly White, and enjoyed a pleasant sail
down the Sound—and you will travel far
before finding an equally attractive sheet of
water anywhere on the coast as our fa-
miliar Long Island Sound. From New York
we bought tickets over St.’James line to Bos-
ton ot'o Fall River,leaving at 5 o’Clock,sharp,
and arriving at Fall River at 5% o’clock a.
m., where we had choice of several morning
trains to Boston, over the 'Old Colony Road.
We don’t care to puff Jim, but will say that
his steamers are splendidly managed and
deserving of the large patronage they receive.
Music in the saloon by an excellent band,
and singing by canaries in twenty gilded
cages, are specialities on this line. We were
unfortunately obliged to leave without a par-
ting good bye from the Admiral, who was
still chafing in confinement at Long Branch,
suffering untold agonies from wounds re-
ceived at the front (?) in the late Orange con-
flict. ,Arriving in' Boston we drove at once
to the wharf of Sandford's Outside Line of
Steamers for Bangor in order to secure a
State Room, but found that all had been
' sold two days in advance. We found an
open seams to the heart of the busy but ever—
pleasant clerk of the Katahdin. Mr. Holden,
by producing “credentials" from our kind
friend Mr. F. Perkins, the efficient agent of
Com. White’s line of steamers.
Mr. Holden set his wits to work and solv-
ed the mystery of what to do with us, by
assigning to our use the Bridal chamber l
Nice place for a forlorn bachelor, but the
joke was too good to be lost; we gracefully
accepted the'situation and had cause to be
grateful to Mr. Holden for this and for other
kind attentions during the trip. These steam-
ers make three trips per week to Bangor,
and at this season are crowded with passen~
gers. They leave Boston at 5% p. in. every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The fare
is only $3.00, including cabin berth. State-
hours to spare before the departure of the
boat, we went back and wandered around
the, to us, ever delightful “Tri-mountain”
city—the “modern Athens,” the “Hub of the
Universe”—or whatever name you choose to
call it, and the time did not fall heavy on our
hands. During the day we paid our respects
as in duty bound, to Bunker Hill Monument,
at Charlestown. After paying our 20 cents,
registering our names, and viewing the stat-
ue of Gen. Warren in the small office at the
base, we ascended the two hundred and
eighty-eight steps to the top of the monu-
ment, and were well repaid by the magnifi-
cent views from the east, north, west and
south windows. In order to gain a realiz-
ing sense of the real extent and beauty of lo-
cation of the city, one should ascend the
monument for these birds eye views of Bos-
ton and suburbs. On the way back to the
city we stopped at the new Waverly Hotel,
of which Geo. C. Mead, recently of Bridge-
port is manager. The Hotel is owned by
Moses A. Dow, who in early manhood was
only a “poor printer” but who succeeded in
getting a good “fat take" and has made a
large fortune by publishing the well known
Waverly Magazine. The St. James, the new-
est and grandest Hotel in Boston proper
is conducted by M. M. Ballou, who was edi-
tor and formerly proprietor of Gleason’s
Pictorial and Flag ofourUnion intheir palmy
business were fortunate in securing a compe<
tence before the business was overdone.
Mr. Mead conducted us through the Hotel,
which we found -to be exceedingly well ar-
ranged, for the business, and furnished in ex-
cellent style. Some idea of the extent ofthe
building may be had from the fact that it
contains 400 rooms, and the apartments are
larger than. generally found in Hotels. It is
but a few minutes walk from the center of
Boston, and Conn. people may be sure ofre-
ceiving good attention from Mr. Mead.
Boston is never lacking in‘interest, for
there is always something new and attract-
ive to be seen, and when weary of sight see:
ing there is the grand old Common, famous
in history and story, and the Public Garden,
with its beautiful flowers, close at‘ hand in
which to lounge in the cool shade and pass
a pleasant hour. ’
Returning to the boat we found a stirring
scene. Mr. Holden the clerk, busy as a bee
but always courteous and obliging, lookmg
after the innumerable wants of passengers
flocking in, while a gang of a dozen men
were trucking the freight on board with a
rapidity amusing to witness. Promptly on
time the lines were cast ofi‘ and the steam-
ship proceeded on her way, and before
dark we had viewed all the objects of inter-
est in the harbor, and were well out on the
ocean wave. The hot weather did not pre-
vent our enjoying a good nights rest as it
did the previous night in the “Providence.”
have found it cool and comfortable in the
ordinary cabin berths. At daylight we ar-
rived at Rockland, on the coast of Maine,
where this line connects with boats to Mt.
Desert and other places. We enjoyed the
sail up the river very much, the scenery in
some places being extremely beautiful. At
2 o’clock p. m. the vessel arrived at Bangor,
oneof the noted lumber marts of Maine, and
we took up our quarters at the Bangor
House. The city has a population of 20,000,
and is an attractive place of residence.
There are quite a number of creditable public
buildingS. and many fine private houses.
_ The buildings generally are remtrkable for
large size and general neatness. A great
peculiarity is the building of the main dwel-
ling, kitchen, wood shed and barn togeth-
constructed of wood. Men seem to put their
all together, and it one building gets on fire
all must burn. The buildings are generally
well finished througl‘t and make quite an

portant item. For beautiful views, few

Here is situated the Theological Institution
of which Rev. Levi L. Payne is one of the
Professors.
' Desiring to see as much of the State as
possible in a brief trip of this kind, we deci-
ded to strike through the woods from here
to the eastern boundary. Leaving Bangor
on the European and North American Rail-
road, at dusk, we made quick time, in good
cars, to Mattawamkeag, arrriving at 10%;).
m. The next day was to be a day of travel
long to be remembered. Here there is an
unfinished gap in the railroad, and we were
to indulge in a ride offifty-six miles through
the pine woods, to Houlton in an old-fash-
ioned Stage coach, so much enjoyed in the
vaunted “good old days.” Retiring at 11
the merciless landlord roused us at 8% am.
with the announcement that the stage was
ready. We found the vehicle filled inside
with ladies and children, and were forced to
mount to the top, back of the driver, and
hold on the best we could. It was very fog-
gy, and our overconts seemed no protection
from the cold. The driver consoled us some-
what, by telling us that it was at the cold-
est morning he had ever seen in July.
(Continued next week.) ‘
. Paris papers state that the work of con—
structing a tunnel across the English Chan-
nel will soon be commenced on one side at
Dieppe, and on theother at Newhavon. The
cost of the work is estimated at $45,000,000,
and six years will be required for its com-
pletion. _ ~ .
The directors of the proposed river bridge
at Poughkeepsie have not permitted their

said to our authorities, spare the trees—we
have none too many for comfort or health.
We need many more shade trees. Let a row
of elms and maples be placed fifty feet apart,
alternating—an elm, then a maple—the rows
to extend from the Bridge to Wilson’s Point.
This, if properly trimmed and trained,would
in a few years form a most beautiful arch
over the road and a delightful shade in sum-
mer. More attention should be paid to
shade trees. Hundreds couldrbe» used to
great advantage along our'streets. Man‘y
unsightly places, rocks,.etc., may be covered
and made pleasing to the wayfaring man,
citizen or stranger. The equilibrium of na-
ture may be maintained and the beauty of
the scenery increased many fold. Increase
the trees. ‘ 1:.

ago opposite Darien station, were selling
ver rapidly? .
l n. S'rnvvnsax'r. There is no reason
why they should not, for the owner has pro
jected a street fifty feet wide, on which these
lots will front; he also gives ten feet for
sidewalk along the New Haven Railroad
property, and sells the very cream of the
property for less than $600 per lot.
Mn. . I have been told‘ that the New

made upon this property. .
Ma. S. . A reporter insinuating such,must
have a very unjust opinion of the officers of
the Company, for they are disposed to do
everything that is for the good of the vil-
Company popular with the people, increas-

curing it against any number of competing
companies that mrght be started under the
general law. ,
