Water at Last.
Those who desire Water introduced into
their dwellings and places of business are
invited by the Water Commissioners to enter
their applications with the clerk of the
Board, Mr. A. H. Camp. Esq. Workmen
are ready to commence operations as men
as the frost is fairly out of; the ground. This
will be a new era for old Norwalk. Our
people as little comprehend its air-reaching
importance, we opine, as they did that of the
value to us of our horse railway, when that
was first built. Hurrah for the era. of cold‘
water. ' .
Danouryvand New Milford.
The newly awakened interest in a branch
road from the Danbury do Norwalk aeross
to New Milford, is likely to result in the
early inauguration of that much to be de
sired enterprise. The distance is about
tWelve miles, and this connection will enable
passengers to reach New York one hour‘
' sooner than via Bridgeport. The New Mil-
ford people are thoroughly awake to its im-
portance to their thriving and attractive lo-
cality, while parties interested in5thc Dan-
bury road pledge liberal pecuniary aid to-
wards the consummation of the work. In-
deed, it is said that one-halt ofthc necessary .
funds will be. supplied from this source.
The Shepaug Valley road will makea won.
derfulaugmentation of the rapidly growing
' ' business of the Danbury road, and our mer-
_ chants will see the personal advantages of
fostering and encouraging interior railroad
, inter-connections. There are no serious 'en-
gineering obstacles in the way of the pro-
posed New Milford branch, and the outlay
'will, it is thought, he covered by a net in-
eOme of ten per cent. upon the cost of the
road. The matter needs only to be un-
folded to our capitalists to insure the neces-
ary subscriptions. Let this new artery of
trade be secured at once.
New York 3: Eastern Railway.
The following Resolution was passed at
the meeting of Directors last Wednesday:
Resolved, “That in the opinion of this
Board the New York and Eastern Railway
should be, when constructed, a‘first-class
>Raiiway. It should have two tracks with
the best rails. ‘ Itsigradie‘uts should be the
best possible to be Obtained, at any reason-
able cost, having reference to the shortest
possible line between the proposed termini.
That its rolling stock should be of the most
approved description, and ample to afford
the largest and best accommodation to the
' public. That the best engineering skill and
experience available shall be employed to
attain the ends herein proposed."
W There was all sorts of growling and
grumbling all OVer the Borough last year,

completed.

W With sincerest sorrow we record to-
day the death of “ Danny ” Bisscli, _third
son of E. C. Bisseli, and to whose dangerous
illness brief reference was made last week.
It is but a few short years sinCe the stricken
parents laid away to rest a young and bean-
tiful daughter, just merging into woman-
hood—in mind and in character, radiant
with heavenly attributes. And now their
torn hearts bleed afresh over the “departure”
of a son, whose youth seemed to gilde with
happiest promise a con ' brilliant and
useful future. Rarely egwed by nature
with a sweet and Winning temper, brimful
of joyous enthusiasm, it was not wonderful
that he was beloved by all who knew him.
Beloved, oh, how greatly, by his companions
and mates, for his generous and kindly spir-
it, his big, manly heart. “ He never did a
mean thing,” said one -of his youthful ' asso-
ciates. Who could crave a nobler tribute?
Who would not wish to leave behind a
memory as lovely, as fadeless? And yet,
there IS something so inexpressibly sad in
the death of such a pure and noble minded
boy, that our tenderest words of sympathy
seem almost a mockery of the crushed
heart's deeper emotions. Well may we bes-
ilate to penetrate the veil of such a sorrow,
even though the poor heart is ready to break
with its yearnings to prefer consolation.
We never knew a similar bereavement so
widely and deeply recognized in this com-
munity. Yet vain is this,-to bind up the
broken hearts of those who mourn. Gilded
though the “bitter cup” may be, with all the
hues of heaven, and the memory of a stain-
less life,'yet only to Him, “who doeth all
things Well," may we look for succor in such
an hour of unuttcrable woe. Knowing
something of the weight of sorrow which
has again overwhelmed our brother, we
have dared to mingle our tears with his.
May the good Father in His infinite love
succor and sustain His bereaved. children.
And m'ay all who knew and loved this no-
ble boy in life, and now weep above his ear-
ly grave, be inspired so to 'live that their
death may be as triumphant as his. .

A few evenings since two females sat on
opposite sides of the car coming up from
New. York. Both insisted upon having
windows up. This created a draft of wind
across the carbide less than a hurricane.
Gentlemen turned their overcoat collars up
about their ears and shrugged themselves
down in their seats. The health ofhalf the
car was imperiled. Unavailing requests
were made to have them put down, and
twice the snaps were sprung and the win-
dows closed by persons in the adjoining
seals, only to be immediately thrown up
again. The conductor was importuned in
their presence, but of no avail. The women
--ladies they could not have been—brazen-

_ The Bible Society.
The twelfth‘annualmeeting of the Nor-
walk and Vicinity Bible Society was held
at the First; Congge‘gational church, last
Sunday eMuing. Dr. Asa Hill, President
of the Society, was in the chair. The exer-
cises opened with prayer by Rev. 0. W.
Gates,pastor of the N orwalk Baptist church,
after which the secretary, Rev. I. Simmons
of the Second Methodist E. Church read the
annual Report as follows :—
TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT.
1n the progress of human affairs, and amid
the clamor of competing interests, the dis-
tribution of the Bible is taking firmer hold
of thc sympathies of the Christian world.
The onsets of infidelity to depreciate its
history and nullify its commands ; toe ten-
dency to avoid the severity of its discipline,
by disputing its authority ; and the oft-
repeated impeachments of its consistency on
scientific questions, meet with constant re-
actions in an increasing faith in its authority
and claims. Every year its entrance "giveth
light” to new people andin new languages.
The Bible readers 'and distributors are in
every land. The Parent Society,alone, em-
ploys twenty-three steam presses in furnish-
ing the supply. Thus the foes of the Bible
have only developed the strength and pur-
pose of its friends. As the Rev. John Sum-
tnerfield once said: “They cannot stop the
progress of Bible societies. Sooner may
they arrest the sun‘ at the antippodcs, and
prevent his rismg to illuminate our horizon ;
sooner may they stem the mighty stream
that leaves the mountain side, and interdicl
its progress to the ocean. For the word of
God shall accomplish that 7 which He
pleases ; it shall jirOsperin the thing where-
unto He hath sent it ; the knowledgcpf the
glory of the'Lord shall cover the earth as the
waters cover the sea, the mouth of the Lord
hath spoken it. ’ .
We come up to our anniversary this even
ing with profound thanksgivings to God for
' his blessings upon our work during the
year now closed. A part of the committee
visited Wilton or. the 11m of June and held
' a Bible meeting in the Congregational
church. Another delegation visited West-
port, July 16th, and had planned to hold a
pimilar meeting in Darien, but were hinder~
'ed in' their purpose; It is to be hoped that
these anniversarieswill be regularly held in
the several towns belonging to our jurisdic-
ftion. _ , '_
Asthe fiscal y’ear of the Parent Society
closes the last of March, we would recom-
mend our anniversary hereafter to be held
about the first of March, that opt returns
may be in season for the records of that
year.
At the first regular meeting of the com-
mittee, held May last, it was voted to employ
Rev. Robert Coiling to canvass in the inter-
ests of the Bible cause the entire district
under the jurisdiction of this Society. This
work he faithfully performed. His records
visited, numbering 4,829 persons. Sixty-one
families attended no' church. In the families
visited he found 1,062 attending Sunday
schOol, and 132 children not belonging to
any schools. 70 families had no Bible, 34 of
whom refused to receive it. Value of Bibles
donated, $11.80. The following is a sum;
mary of the contributions received: Nor-
walk, $58.10 ; Westport, $47.85 ; Wilton.
$47.37 ; Darien, $17.75. Total, $171.07,
The amount received for the Bibles sold was
$107.65. The expense of the canvass was
$166.44. _ -
The Treasurer reports $195.44 in the
treasury. To be added to this is the balance
on the Depository Agent’saccount of $56.36.
Our Depository Agent reports to April 1 :

members of the. Parent Society and this

Thus we close tlic'twelfth year of our
history. Let us begin the next with thank-
fulne=s and courage. It is, by the pure Word
we shall stand. -Its“perfect love,"its”sure tes-
timony,” its "right statutes,” its “pure com-
mandments" and its “righteous judgments"
are the hope and strength of our hearts.
Let us come to the precious pages with the
eagerness of one who anxiously awaits an
important message. ‘ .
Dr. Charles Eilibt was a close reader and
student of the Bible. When in his seventy-
seventh year he read the old Testament
through in three weeks. ' His daughter
asked him what he was reading. He replied,
“I’m reading news.”
It is new, ever fresh, ever needful. Let
us read, study, and scatter it, and by its
power, the poison of infidelity, the errors of
rationalism and the doubting of science
shall be dispelled to give place to the limits
of the spirit and the holy aspirations rgthc
soul after Hitn who prayed “Sanctify them
through thy truth ; Thy word is truth."
By order of the Committee,
I. SIMMONS, Sec’y.
land'Agerit ofthe American Bible Society,
was then introduced and made an address
giving details of the organization of Bible
Societies their work, &c. He was followed
in an earnest and forcible address by Dr.
A. Hill. The election of officers resulted as
follows: . '
President, Dr. Asa Hill.-
Vice President, Capt. Joseph W. 'Hubbell,
Secretary, Joseph W. Wilson.
Treasurer, Dr. James E. Barbour.
Acollection was taken, after which the
benediction was pronounced by Rev. Sam-
uel Dunham. The evening was very un-
favorable, and the attendance was conse-
quently small. '
IIILLSIDE.—We had~ the pleasure, last
Thursday morning,-of attending the closing
exercises of the winter term at Dr. Fitch‘s
school, at Hillside. The exercises consisted
of the customary declamations, composi-
tiOns, etc.,by the pupils, there being quite a
large attendance of ladies and gentlemen
present, ' chiefly friends of the scholars.
We confess that we were taken by surprise
by the high standard of excellence attained
by all the pupils in the deelamations, and it
was plainly evident that they had received
very careful, faithful and thorough training
in clocution. and that each scholar had dis
tinct and intelligent conceptions of the char-
acter of his piece. Several of the deciama-
tions it ouldhav-e been creditable to any pro-
fesstonal elocutionist.
from the “ Hillside Times," contributed by
pupils, were also remarkably good for school
compositions.~ Rev. Samuel Dunham and
James L. Ambler were selected from the' au-,
diencc to award prizes for declamation; and?
made the' following awards z—firsl, W. S.
Moody, Jr.; 'secpnd, LIM. Sheldon; third,
W. A. Jackson; fourth, H. L. Randle; fifth,
F. S. Curtis. The Spring term of the school
commences next week. .' -
Are not our Methodist friends making a
new 'departure in the matter of appoint-
ments? Formerly no minister knew defi-
nitely where he was to be assigned, and no
church could tell who was to be the new
pastor. Now, strangely" enough, ministers
are able to inform their friends weeks in ad.-
vance of conference where their next loca-
tion Will f‘probably" be, and congregations
seem to be able to pick and choose nearly
as much as any other denomination.

Masons. Ennons.——Having been a con-
stant reader of this GAZETTE while living in
Norwalk, I still receive it, and thinking a
few-remarks about our great and growing
West may not be amiss,I take the liberty
to drop you a few lines from this, one of our
youngest and most progressive trans-Missis-
slppi States.
All accounts agree as to the unusual
severity of the past winter. Old settlers say
it has been» the coldest known- for fourteen
years, but to‘one coming, as I did, just from
the East, it seemed unusually' mild. We
had only three snow storms during the
winter. the greatest depth of snow was only
two inches, and at no time did it remain on
the ground 48 hours. During the most
severe weather the frost did not penetrate
the ground to the depth of six inches. I was
engaged in herding cattle on horseback
during the ' whole o'f December and a part
of January, and was only compelled to re-
main in doors three days by severe weather
in that time. True, many cattle have died
from exposure. It has been estimated at
33% per cent of all the cattle in the State,
butIventurc to say that three-fourths of
them would have lived had they received
here have encouraged ranchmen in the
practice of turning their herds out all winter
on the prairie to mid their own food and
shelter, and in such cases the occurrence ot
an extremely hard winter, with its piercing
prairie winds, drive the cattle to the ravines
from which only actual starvation will
tempt them forth. Of course they do not
eat enough to keep up animal beat, and the
consequence is large losses. Gentlemen of
my acquaintance who have sheltered and
fed their cattle, have'not lostahead. In
'an ordinary winter halfa' ton of hay will
winter an animal well, as it is only necessary
to feed on stormy days, but shelter during
storms is imperative. Our stock men are
waking up to this fact. -
Spring fairly opened on Feb. 15th and
plowing commenced. Fall wheat was badly
injured by the frost,and_much of it has been
plowed in and replaced by Spring grain.
The dismal looking-black stretches of prairie
burnt off last fall are now covered with a
fresh growth of grass. Our farmers are in
~ good spirits and predict a good season for
crops. We are expecting a large increase
ofimm'igration this season, and those in the
East who think of bettering their fortunes
by going “Westward he i” will do well to
come quickly. Our wide-awake, progressive
New Englanders are the ones to develops
the boundless resources of this young State,
andlwewill'extend them a hearty Wt iconic.
A new town, named after our/Vice Presi-
dent Colfax, has been started nearus in this
. fertile valley of Gypsum Creek, 30 miles
south of Saline.
A railroad is in prospect from the last
place to Marion Center, Marion Co., which
will connect Colfax directly with the
Kansas Pacific Railroad.
Building is going on rapidly, and Colfax
is destined to be a town of some importance.

Nrrw YORK. March 26th 1872.
MB. WM. G. TAYLOR—Dear Sir :—You
have been recommended to me as one in
every way suited for my business. The
man who » spoke for you is now clearing
about $3,000 per month and is highly suc-
cessful, and I rely upon his judgment for
shrewdness and fidelity. I have concluded
to take you into my confidence, and I here
beg of you not to betray me. I have at his
got hold of the right thing. All I want is a
few true men and I then guarantee we can
all make a fortune easily and in perfect
safety.
I was trained up as an engraver from a
bov, and after executing many plates for
difierent banks lwas employed by the U."
S Goverment on the Treasury Notes. My
last work was the engaving of the plates
for the 1, 2, 5 and 10 dollar notes of the old
greenbacks issued in 1863 by the treasury.
These bills are still in circulation and I can
refer yt u to them with. pride as'evidence of
my skill. When I had the plates completed
Secretary ,Chuse. publicly complimented me
as the most skillful] engraver in the country.
Shortly after this howeverI was removed
to make place'for a government political
favorite. and I then vowod I Would get
square with the government before I died.
1 have been at work in secret for years and
I have now produced counterfeits which are
absolutely perfect. I have printed a large
, stock of hills which I Want to sell im-
mediately. I use nothing but the very best
paper and the dies, signatures and every-
thing are so perfect as .to defy detection. ‘ I
know there is a flood of counterfeit money
afloat called shys' or wildcat which I would
not advise you to touch. But I can assure
you no one can detect my bills. Only keep
perfectly sober and I pledge you my word
you can have no trouble.
I have the money done up in packages of
$250, and over, all properly assorted, and I
sell it at 10 per cent. f you mean business
come on here and see me yourself.
Do not mention your business to any
living person or tell any one where you are
going or who you want to see.
When you come on bring money to buy a
large stock, for I guarantee when you see
the money you will buy all you can. I
will show dyou piles-of it and count it out in
your ban 3 dollar for dime. This is the
finest Opportunity ever offered to any living
man to make a fortune at asingle stroke,
and if you are wise. you will even sell your
property and valuables and raise a pile of
money to secure a good stock while you.
I...‘
a
drop me a line so 'I can tell you when and
where you can see me and how you will
know me. But if you cannot possibly come
on here, I will send you the money on re-
ceipt of price, for I must get my stock 011'
at once. ' '
To favor you I will sell you a $250 pack-
age tor $10 cash down, and you can pay me
the other $15 attenyou have passed it. I
will sell you $500 for $18 Cash down and
$30 after ; $1,000 for $32 doWn and$60
after. ]f you can take $5 000 at once I will
sell it for $120 down and $300 after. Always
send me National Bank bills, I can ma ‘e
Greenbacks enough.
You can send me the money folded in a
letter well sealed and plainly addressed to
me, but do not send it by Express. I will
send back my money in such a way that no
one will suspect what it is so you need have
no' fears wh tever. For instance I send
thousands of to California sewed up in the
lining of a coat. If you don’t happen to
have the money ready when youwrite don't
delay but write me how much you want and
I will send it by Express 0. O. D., and you
can have the money ready and pay the
amount char ed to the Express agent when
it arrives. on cannot imagine how I will
pack it, but I guarantee neither the Express
agent or any one else will dream ofits being
money.
Now. In dear sir, I have written you at
length, an Iagsin implore you to use the
utmost caution. Do not mention this to
your dearest friend, and while you remain
faithful to me I solemnly swear to be true
to you. ,
Willy address is on the unelosed slip
which you can keep but burn this letter. I
will burn all of your letters. -
