The beautiful and unique new house of
‘ A. J. Crofut, Esq., is receiving its outside
"covering. The tower gives the building a
special, and attractive prominence. When
completed it will be one of the finest archi-
tectural adornments of our rapidly growing
town. ' _
The cellar has been excavated, and soon
an .elegant m‘ansard roofed square house
the Isaac S. Beers property. The house is
to set far back, near the crest of the hill, and
will prove a very attractive feature on West
avenue. It is a great pity that the division
lines between himself and Mrs. Sears could
not be changed so that the fences might
stand parallel With the houses. But per-
haps we ought not to expect too much. The
fences are being set back in front, so that
width' for the sidewalk may be secured
without removing the beautiful line of ash
trees.
The new mansard roofed house of Mr.
Bishop, on Mott avenue, is nearly com-
pleted, and in the matter of exact architec-
tural proportions is probably the most
perfectly designed house in town. Stout:&
Platt are the builders, and have done them-
selves credit by their superior workman-
ship, exemplified on this beautiful house.
Mr. Charles Turncy is commencing an.
other dwelling on Franklin avenue, imme-
diately north of the house just completed
for Mr. Quintard, and fronting on Union
Park.
Mr. Harrison's new house. in rear of Ste-
phen Olmstead’s, and on Union avenue, is
ready for the plasterers. It" is a pretty little
cottage of the flat roof, Italian design. Mr.
Harrison, who has been so long and seri-
ously ill of fever, is now convalescent, and
hopes soon to be out again.
Mr. George Beatty has had his homestead
on West avenue “ renovated " and put on
an addition, and a neat and. attractive bay
window on the south side.
Mr. James Hyatt’s new house on Prdspect
Hill is fast reaching completion. It is a
most charming location and very conspicu-
ous, and easy of access to either extremity
of the town.
Mr. Day’s house, on East avenue near the
railroad excavation is already enclosed, and
will be a. neat and tasty little cottage home.
Martin Van Buren Davis, having sold his
“little" house- on‘ the corner" at “Union-
ville,” is now putting up a pretty little
Guthic‘cOttage Of brick" on an adjacent lot,
and nearly’opposite the residence of James
H. Beers. .
- Beuj; Fillgw has a new house nearly coni-
pleted, east of Summer street. He has two
nephews who are also erecting a house each,
in the same vicinity, and these three cot-
tages will be ready for occupancy in a few
days. ' ' -
Amzi L. Camp has the stove work up for
a new house on West Main street, and Geo.
Gregory has another started close By,
Policeman Foster has his house on Catha-‘
rine street finished and ready for occupancy.
- It is 8 pleasant, sensible and comfortable
looking residence. '
George Scofield has just finished a tasty
little cottage on Centre avenue.
John Buttery has just completed a pretty
Italian cottage just above Norwalk Mills, at
Winnipauk. "
Mr. Addison Brown, builder, is erecting a
new house for Mr. Conkling," the oysterman,
on the Thos. Benedict property, at East
Nomalk. .

carpenter, Samuel Fitch, is erecting a house

assure you they are not ungrateful.

WMr. Bromley, of the Hartford Post, says
our reply to his slanderous attacks upon us
is, “almost entirely of a personal character
and so requires no answer.” And who,
pray, made the controversey “of a personal
character” and that, as offensive and insult-
ing as language could make it? Mr. Brom-
ly should not whine for quarter on this
head, after being the first to ignore imper-
sonal journalism. We trust we shall never
be outdone by him either in the proprieties
or courtcsies of conducting a newspaper

At last, the Grand Duke has arrived. His
vessel reached New York about midnight
of Saturday, having experienced very rough
weather on our coast. Sunday noon New
York Bay resounded with Naval salutes.
Reporters visited the vessel and report the
young Russian as walking the deck looking
robust. It is also quite refreshing to read
that “he has the air bof a gentleman.” He
cloth, without lace, tinsel, or ornament save
the epaulets of a lieutenant, and wore the
usual filt—top Navy cap. The Duke is tall
and strongly built, with a’ pleasant face.
His clear complexion is in perfect accord
with his light hair and whiskers and blue
eyes. He speaks English quite fluently. His
reception was to have taken place yesterday,
but the rain may have interfered. A round
of entertainments are to be given in DIP,

' Mr. George W. Cram was awarded the
contract for building the seven miles of
branch road from Lethal to Hawleyville,
and has given bonds for its completion by
the 151 day Of May, 1872. There were nine-
teen bids fO‘r the work, but Mr. Cram, just
85 W8 filll).lj.osed he would, came out ahead.
The 1mike is quite feasible, and the grading
generally light. It is understood the entire
work may be done, ready for the rails, for a
trifle short of $100,000. One thing is pretty
certain, Cram will cram the work through
on the double quick, and with Engineer
Bacon to superintend it, it will be pretty
surely well done.
The New lCounty Buildings.
On Thursday next our County Commis-
sioners are to throw open the new jail and
workhouse at Bridgeport to the inspection
of the public. This will afford an oppor-
tunity to gratify the curiosity of some, per-
haps, who may never have another chance
of getting into such a place. The new
building is located near the “Tom Thumb”-

Although money has been a little '“tight”
since] the Chicago fire, and general business
dull, there has seldom or never been such a
vast amount of building going on at this
season cf the year. Two of our young and
most enterprising builders, Messrs. George
Shaw 87 Benton, have taken contracts to
build two houses at Utica, N. Y. One is to
be a copy of the Disbrow house built by
them on West avenue.
These evidences of our rapid growth and
financial thrift are especially pleasing. In
almost every instance these houses now
building and being erected are for the occu-
pancy of their builders. It is a most en-
couraging sign of (the times, when even the
poorest laboringman is able to build a.home,
for himself and his family. Nothing is so

Cannot Mr. Byington induce 'his friend
Presrdcnt Bishop to inform the public
whether Commodore Fisk has ousted Com-
modore Vanderbilt from the control of his
company? So it is reported. It is stated
that through tickets from Western cities—-
Bufi‘alo, for instance—for stations on Presi-
dent Bishop’s road—New Haven, for in-
stance—can no longer be had at "offices of
the New York Central, as before, but may
be obtained via Erie, and that‘the employees
0f the latter road claim that Fisk has out-
ranked and out-sailed the veteran navigatoi'.
It may be. Fisk has a line of steamers from
New York to Boston with which Bishop’s
road competes. This change of Commo-
dores may account for the “ hitch” in the
“Grand Depot ”' arrangements, and also for
the (reported) increased tariff upon Bishop’s
transit over the Harlem Road. How is it?

a great victory. ey have 3 they. will
not be ruled in th. egislatur , d at home.
by dishonest men and thieves any long'er.’
The cry has gone abroad down with the
Ring, and the Ring has had to come down.
Shall the .cry stop at our State line? , We
have a Ring in our State as well as "New
York and although they may not have stol-
en they havc bought men with our own
money to work against us.
We are near the city of New York; and
we have a fine healthy climate and loca-
tion. .Many are moving out of New. York
into the country. They are moving out in
every direction but ours Long Island,‘New
Jersey and Hudson River receive the most
and why fl Because they hold out induce-
ments in the way of quick and cheap tran-
sit. If our State would do as they are
doing we sh0uld get a part of those who
move out of New York to settle among us,
buy up our land help pay our taxes, and
thus our State would improve as well as
New Jersey, Why should our State stand
still and see these improvements going on
all around us and not be benefitted thereby.
If our State would resolve to demand and
obtain a share, our young men would not
leave us and 'go to other States and territo-
ries to settle. We have furnished the means
and the minds to'equip a half a dozen States
equal to our own and far larger than .our
own. We want better facilities and more of
them to and from New York. Let us have
men in our legislature that can not be
bought and sold but will stand up for the
peoples’ rights. Down with all "rings and
all cliques and move on to victory. The
hand writing on the wall reads, “the honest
people must rule.” Down with monopoly.

The Winsted "Harald speaks out sensibly
against the proposed Temperance party :—
“As a Temperance Journal, whose editor
is a Temperance man, and a Good Tem-
plar in good standing, and who hopes to
see our state Government permanently in
the hands of temperance men, we take oc-
casion to say that this “third party” has
our best wishes for its failure. We do not
doubt the purity and praise worthiness of
the motives of most of those who are en-
gaged in the movement; we do not suppose
that'any considerable portion of them de-
sire to exalt the rum power—to give it aid
and comfort and make it impregnable—
-but we do know that if that were their very
aim, they could not devise a more effective
way of accomplishing that result than by
this ‘tllird party’ plan." '

Sudden Deaths. .
Our citizens were startled, Sunday, by the
news of the sudden death of Charles Sherry,
Jr., which occurred at his father‘s residence
clining health for some time, and for the few
Weeks past has suffered greatly from neu-
ralgia and carbuncle boils. He ate quite
heartily, at breakfast, but at the hour named
fainted and fell‘,_and almost immediately ex-
pired. Mr. Sherry was‘a young man of gen-
erous, enterprising traits of character. He
took an especial delight in the growth and
local improvements of the town, and the last
work he did was to superintend the side-
walk improvement, as directed by the Bor-
ough, in front of the old homestead. Peace
to his ashes.
Isaac S. Tuttle, a son of Silas P. Tuttle
and proprietor of the South Norwalk car-
riage works adjoining Hopkins stables, died
very suddenly, also, on Sunday. He was a
genial and thriving young business man,
beloved by all who knew him, His dis-
case was inflammation of the bowels and
terminating in mortification. He eaves a
wife and one child to mourn, with other
friends, his untimely death. '
Saturday Eyening the wife of Lewis Ray-
mon‘d of Wilton, was found dead, in the
yard near the‘ house, by her daughters.
They had just returned home from Norwnlk
and missing their mother, and observing
that she had been hanging'out yarn to dry,
preceeded to search for her, and found her
lifeless body, as nbove. - She is supposed to
have died of heart disease.

E. W. Stuart, Esq.,was last week rejoiced
by the receipt of the following ofilcial noti-
fication from the ‘U. 8. Treasury: “ Coupdn
bond No. 50,723, for $1,000, advised by you
as having been stolen, was purchased on
v the 11th .ult. of Messrs. Leonard, Shelton &
Foster, for this department." This makes
$10,000 in allthe Government haspnrchased
of Mr. Stuart’s bonds, stolen at the Bank of
Norwalk robbery. How' would it stand if
an individual should thus purchase.
. . . . . _
WOur borough authorities have had
the. good sense to remove all those lamp
posts set in the middle of the streets at
junction with another. There were two or
three such on West avenue, at head of
Chapel street, Merwin street, &c. It gen-
erally takes two or three trials to get things
as they should be about the borough.

of superiority to Mrs. Harper. She co lnes, per;

INSURANCE"
fMATTEBS!
WE were shown some time since a statement of
the condition of the Agricultural Insurance
Company. and were of the opinion, if the fi?res
were correct, that the Company had a fair stun ing,
and consented to let (the Agent refer an inquirer to
us if our opinion was desired. We never intended
to appear as solicitors for that Company, and never
assented to the publication of our names. Of course
we know nothing about the correctness of the fig-
ures, and could on! say that if correct,the Company
‘appeared to stun well. We have that opinion of
many Companies. But as to what we actually know,
we say there is .ONLY ONE INSURANCE COMPA-i
NY of whose coudltlon we have actual knowledge.
That Company is the
larynx use usu-
alllcr 00.,
We know about that, for its money matters are
, under our official and personal knowledge; we know
ll. is in good condition. takes risks in proportion to
its actual means, and does not owe, a dollar for losses
and that no man holds against it a claim for a sin le
dollar of loss. We confidently recommend t is
Company to all ersous, from actual knowledge.
