wasmo't the agents of the ex-Emperor stall,
but of His Holiness, the Pope, who were

notfor sale! It is positively known to the

Mr. Gibson’s Concert. .
The Programme of °the entertainment
which Mr. Gibson proposes to ’give on
Wednesday eveninging prdmises a rich treat
to all lovers of classical Music, assisted by
such artists as Misses Brainard and Bulkley,
and Messrs Brush, Schanfller, and Florin,
and sustained by the N orwalk Choral Union
whose existence and improvement, under
Mr. Gibson’s direction, is an honor to Nor-
walk, offering such a number (15) and such
a variety of choice selections, all purchasers

full worth of their money. , .

But aside from the enjoyment of such an
entertainment, this community owe it to
themselves to and Mr. Gibson, whose untir-
.ing investry energy and enterprise, and ex-
cellence in is profession, have contributed
so laregly to the elevation of the musical
standard and to the cultivation of a musi-
cal taste among us—-to show their apprecia-
tion and encouragement of music of so high
and pure an order.

 

 

[3‘ The good order'and perfection of ap-
pointments at Miss Potter’s reuling were in
gratifying contrast with the disorder at Fred.
Douglass’ lecture. A new table of sufficient
height to accommodate the notes of the
speaker, and a fine student’s lamp thereon,
were decided advances upon the. former
preparations. ' The deficiency of crockery
ware, which mgde it necess'y for the lady
and janitor to drink out of the same glass (‘5')
was conspicuously noticed and humorously
enjoyed.

' The audience was the largest and finest
convened this season, and thefairreader ap-
parently fully enjoyed the compliment,.for
we‘never heard her do so well. A fine bo-
quet of cut flowers was presented by_Dr.
Fitch’s scholars, and the delicate compli-
melt't most gracefully received. Reader;
committee and auditors may certainly con-
gratulate. each other'on the complete success
of the entertainment. ' "

The programme was an excellent one for
a public entertainment, and comprised the
following selections :—PART First: Fall of

of Ballstown,by J. G. Saxe. Part Second:
Wounded, by J.’ W. Watson ; Yeddie at the
Lord’s Supper; Anabel Lee, by Edgar A.
Poe; School Class ;‘ Deaf Courtship.

The Reading was ‘thoroughly excellent,
and gave the best of satisfaction to the large

admirers.

The next Y. M. C. A. lectnt. is to be de-
livered by America’s famous orator,—-Wen-
dell Phillips. Of course he will draw an
immense audience, and‘we hope he will for
the sake oftbe Asso.,for the present CCursc

needed to defray the simplecost of the lec-'

tures.

says we have anode . “ slanderous attacks ‘
upon him.” Beg pardon, but how? We.
stated that he received $1,200 from the city,
of New Haven for services in the lobby, on"
the capital question. That being a fact and,
cnmtatter of record, is no shnder.—Harlford
or. ‘ ‘ ‘ '
Well, as a fact, we didn’t receive $1,200,
Mr. Bromley.“ ' Butwe'have no wish to imi-
tate your direputable dodging and quibblings
We deem the amount ofno consequence, inas‘-'
much as we admit being paid. But quite dif.
fercnt is the following falsehood:

. “ We inqaired if that sum purchased the
columns of his paper,'and he denounced the
inquiry as an insinuation against his honor.”

The italicsarc ours. If Mr. Bromley will
turn to his files and quote what he did say,
and what gave rise to this discussion, the
public will be able to see how far the above
evasions are from downright lying.

Mr. Bromley isnot dull of comprehension,
but sadly prone to prevaricate to make a

to vitiate all his influence in a spirited
though indiscriminate warfare against an ac-
knowledged evil. Moreover, he “ confesses”
to have been in the lobby himself, and must
f‘ know how it'is.” The public will die-
criminate, if Mr. Bromley will not, between
a professional lobbyist, who is ready to-

sides; because there is pay in it, and one
who goes to defend a conviction. or aid a
measure one feels a personal interest in,out—
side of and beyond pecuniary considerations.
In this capital matter, our convictions were
thorough and decisive. We very earnestly
felt the. tax payers of Connecticut, could
better afi'ord to put up with the inconven-
iences of their present state houses, for four
or five years to come, than _to expend the
millions required to build new ones. Such
was the feeling of about ,everybody in this
section of the state. There was no “public
opinion” to be created or instructed here-
abouts. Beyond a faithful transcript of
Legislative proceedings, it was not needfill
that we should encumber our columns with
its discusions. And now, again, and finally
Mr. Bromley, we have “done what we
could” in aid of many Legislative measures

public right, without reward, or expectation
of reward. In only three.instances have
we ever been pecuniarily recompensed for
even expenses. Need we add, no amount
of “fees” or “retainers,” .could tempt .us to
a different course. There are good and true
men; all over Connecticut similarly actuated.
and all Mr. Bromley’s dog noble barking,
will not confound such with those mis-
cieants of the lobby, ready to sell their influ-
ence to the highest bibder, and for whom he
seems to have few words of rebuke in-his
* high and self constituted character of public
censor. ‘ '

were dofi'ed and the lady friends had prepai-
red a' bountiful collation for the children
and large numbers of their friends, who
were present. We could but think while
beholding the comical entertainment, how
little it costs to make the children happy,‘
and yet how ottcn are they shoved aside

“Trees of the Lord.” 0

“ Why is it that no shade trees have ever
been planted around your church ? ” was the
question of a friend, a short time since, when
riding through Weston. ‘

No wonder he asked the question. The
locality is beautiful, and the elevated and
sightly plateau is. ample; but not a tree to
give shade in summer, or break the force of
the winds of winter, any more than if there
were no trees in Weston. .

The reply to the question was, “ We are
thinking of moving in this matter, and in this
way: By pnposing that every family in our
congregation berepresented on the grounds
of the church by a family tree.” The propo-
sition was made. On the Sabbath the peo-
ple were invited to comeon a specified day
and bring their treesf 'When the day ar-
rived the men came, bringing their trees
with them—about. fifty noble elms. The
thing was done, done well, done easily,flone
enthusiastically; and a few years hence a
more lovely spot will not be found in the
State of Connecticut than that . where the
Congregatiohal chuqch of Weston now
stands. . _. _ V

The thing should have been done long
ago. “ Better never late,” and “better late ,
than never." One of the above trees repre-

 

chnrch, Rev. Samuel/Sherwood, settled in'
1757. Anothcr, his son-in-law, the second
pastor, the Rem-John Noyes. Another. the
Rev.’ S. B. SHSissell, of N orWalk, the great-
grandson of'Mr.,Shel-wood. . i

' The true answer to the question of our

around the house of God,”is..no one had

made,the thing was done. V
There are other churches not far bf’with-I
out any shade trees, and we' hope this no-
tice will meet the eye of their pastors, who
'will move the people, if there is no one else
to do it, to “ go and do likewise.” Z. '

The schooner Isaac. Anderson of New

Quite a stir was created. in New York,
Saturday; by the arrest of Controller Connol-

V 1y for “complicity in the Woodward-frauds.”

His bail has been fixed at $1,000,000, which
' amount he hadnot obtained at last accounts.
It is also hinted, again, that the Mayor will
be arrested. '

Hon. Wm. H. Yale, Lieut. Governor of
Minnesota, reached Norwalk yesterday with
the remains of his wife, whose funeral will
be attended to-day (Tuesday) from Sf.
Paul’s Church. She will be remembered as
a daughter-of Mr. Bradley 0. Banks, Main
street; Mrs. Yale has for a long time been
an invalid we believe.

In the Down Town rti'ilroad accident, re-
ported in our‘last, Mrs. Haynes Fitch sprain
ed her wrist and sustained severe internal
injuries, from which she has 'su'fi'ered ever
since. A lady from Danbury, who was with
her in,the wagon, jumped out and escaped
vgith slightinjury. The three children also
escaped without injury.

A terrible calamity occurred on the river
Thames last Wednesday, resulting in the
loss of seventeen lives.‘ The Steamer City
of New London, when about nine miles
above New London, took fire and was des-
troyed. The vessel became unmanageble
and the passengers and crew took to the
water. Sixteen bodies have been recovered
and one is still missing.

The stone work of the gate house at the
Distributing Reservoir has been lard and the
machinery put in, and the Reservoir 'will
probably be so far completed this week that
water can be let in, if desired. The dam at
the upper‘Reservoir Will probably not be
completed this winter. but is So far advanced
that confiection can be made , and water
supplied irfihemed advisable. The trench-
ing is progressing rapidly and will be com-
pleted in two or three weeks if the weather-
holds, favorable. ' ‘ '

Mr. Jarvis, of the. Western Boardirg‘
School, has made an important addition to
his corps of teachers by engaging the serV‘
ices of Mr. Speiche as teacher of the Ger-
man language. Mr. S., we learn, was edu-
cated at Leipsic. He devotes one hour each
day to a conversation in his class. The ad-
vantages ot studying German as a part of a
Commercial education are apparent to all.
'The school is in a highly- prosperous condi-
tion, numbering, at present, seventy-three
boys. ' ’

:, , The directors of the Viaduct Railway
him: had a meeting at which a commiitee
was appointed to reorganize the board, con-
sisting of Messrs. Edward B. Wesley, Wil-
liam R. Travers, John Jacob Astor, Wm.
Butler Duncan and Joseph Seligman. . The
resignation of the directoi's was put in the
hands of this committee.
that this movement is designed to save the
railway plan from being ruined by its con.

Despite the flood of rain falling at the,
hour oftbe lecture, the M. E.-Church was

packed with auditors eager to take atrip

‘back of the pulpit, whereon the stump“-

con W35 l0 throthis magnified, illustrative,
pictures. The instrument was placed in
front of the organ'vat the front end of the
church and despite the damp atmosphere
it worked most admirably under the skill-
ful manipulations of Prof. Brewster. The
lecturer commenced by humorously nar-
rating . the circumstances under which he
shotgofi' to California on a rainy day of last
May” Dyspepsia and overwork had so ex-
hibited themselves in his countenance as to
awaken the commlseration. of some dear
friends who hild volunteered to pay the ex-
penses of his trip,, etc. (His seriously ex-‘
pressed thanks to those friends and to God
who had prompted them, to this unexpect-
ed generosity. was one of the finest touches
in his whole lecture.) He thcn took us on
board of one- of those incomparable 'Pull-
man Palace cars and whirled us from N.
. Y. to Niagara, giving to, some magnificent
viewa of that great natural' feature in its
many phases of summer and winter dress,
and that great human achievement the sus-

cago, sitting so lately in sack cloth and ash-
es, and. thence to Omha, and on over the
.Union Pacificroad to Ogden, with illustra-
tions of all " the wonderful scenery, of gro-
tesque rocks,,caverns,"c'uts, tunnels, “Cities
of the plain,” etc. From Ogden, he threw
us right into the lap of Brigham’s vast fam-
ily at' Salt _Lake' City, with views 'of that
remarkable man, his "res’ide‘ll‘ce’s, and the
Wonders all about in that most wonderful’
_of . all cities. ‘ Concerning the system of
polygamy and the character of the (ig)
“noble red man,” the speaker but reiterated
the same» judgment, we have so otten. ex-
pressed in _these columns. A judgment we
cannot see ‘how any cautious observer can
