The Day we. Celebrate !
The details of the prOposed celebration
hereIin Nor-walk, are being rapidly per.
.fected. A first-class celebration is settled
upon and we may expect to see the largest
crowd of visitors here on the Fourth ever
before attracted thither. . _ '
' A novelty which we shall all hail with
3 special delight will be excursion trains
iwhich will run throughout the day to and
from'Lz‘tchfield. Efforts are being made to
secure a large military and firemen’s turn
out and an imposing display of societies and
citizens. _
There will be marching, and music, ora-
tion and dinner by day, and dazzling dis-
play of fireworks at night. '
There will be trials Of our water works
by hose attached direct tO the hydrants, and
by steam fire engines, and the occasion is in-
tended to be every wayworthy the patriotic
day and the water dedication.
Annexed we give a list of the several com-
mittees so _far. appointed:

Dr. Edwin Hall has been the guest of
Judge Butler the past week. It was just
forty years-ago on Friday last; the 16th inst.,
since he was installed pastor of the First
Congregational church here. He was then
the ninth pastor only that church had had
in a period'of taco hundred and three years !
He had, seven years previously, while work-
.ing his way through college, come here to
teach, and became principal of our acade-
my. He was commended to our people by
Hon. Willis Hall,thcn-principal, as a proper
person tO be his successor. Mr. Willis Hall
on leaving returned to New York, and was
for many years Attorney-General Of the'
State, .Dr. Hall,was followed in the charge
of the academy by/Hawley Olmstead, who
subsequently removed to New Haven. The
first year of Mr. Hall’s ministry here, he
boarded with Judge Bissell,and during that
- year be buried twelve church members over
seventy‘years of age, and one,‘.-; the mother
of the late Capt. Moses Gregory, one hun-
dIed years old at her death. The Doctor,
in referring to the great ability of . J udgc
Bissell and Senator Thaddeus Betts, remark-
ed that in his judgment they were superior,
in attainments and intellectual resources to
the most noted statesman of our day. This
is a judgment formed by one competent to
form a correct opinion.
During the shower on last Wednesday

The Misses Brockvvay-i- School.
There was a pleasant gathering at the
Misses Brockway’s school, on W cdnesday
evening last. Although the programme for
the evening was somewhat interfered with
by the successio‘n of showers, still the exer-
cises of the pupils were most interesting and
creditable toall concerned. The specimens
Of original composition, so well read from
the paper conducted by the pupils, the ex-
ercises in music, both vocal and instru-
mental, and the exhibitions in drawing, bore
excellent testimony to the fidelity and thor-
oughness ofthe instruction imparted by the
accomplished teachers. . .
This school‘has well earned its reputation
as one of the best in this vicinity, not only
for instruction in the lighter accomplish-
ments, but for thdrough training in the less
conspicuous and more substantial studies
which are essential to a good education. It
is unnecessary to wish it prosperity, for that
necessarily follows the patient and well
directed labors through which it has Ob-
tained its past and present success. . ‘

all time unless paved or Mcadamized, as it

sleepless nights of toothache. But “Gould"

A Remedy for Burns and 508111..
A correspondent writes to inform the
New York Sun that the readiest and most
useful remedy for soalds and burns is an
embrocation of lime water and linseed Oil.
These simple agents combined form a thick,
cream-like substance which effectually ex-.
eludes the air from the injured parts, and
He mentions-a case where a child fell back-
ward into aItub of boiling water, and was
nearly flayed from her neck to below I‘ her
hips. Her agony was indescribable, but
her clothing being gently removed, and the
lime and Oil thickly spread over the injured
surface, she was sound asleep in five mini
utes. Subsequently the parts were carefully
washed with warm milk and water three
timcsa day, the oil dressing renewed, and
the little patient rapidly recovered—though
all .the scolded skin came off, she did .not
have a scar; This remedy leaves no hard
coat to dry on the sores . but softens the
parts, and aids nature to repair the injury
in the readiest and most expeditious man-
ner. The mixture may be procured in the
drug stores, but if not thus accessible, shake
a lump of quick-lime in water, and as soon
as the water is clear mix it with the oil and
shake it well. It the case is urgent, use
boiling water over the lime, and it will be-
come clear in five minutes. The prepara-
tion may be kept ready bottled in the house
and it will be as good when six months old
as when first made. ‘
The first line of the last stanza "of Mrs.
Howe‘s Battle Hymn has excited much com-
ment. It is acknowledged to be sympa-
thetic and deeply si nificant, yet few have
been able to compre end the full meaning
intended'by the poet: ' _
“In the beauty of the lily Christ was bOrn across
the sea.” /
.The lily is an emblem Of purity, but ac-
cording to Mrs. Howc’s own explanation
the thought expressed in the line was sug-
gested by Guido’s beautiful picture of the
Annunciation in the Quirinal palace at
Rome, Italy. In it the Angel Gabriel is
represented as handing to. the Virgin a
bunch Of lilies, expressive of the announce-
ment of the birth of that Holy King who
should be called the Son of God.

The Sunday'salool Celebration.
The Scuth Norwalk people indulged in a
grand holiday last Tuesday. The Sunday
School celebration proved a splendid suc-
cess, and
ten. Th -I ay was beautiful and no better
Weather Conld have been“ desired. The
arrangements for the celebration had been
carefully, thoroughly and libcrally'made,
and were carried out according to pro-
gramme as nearly as possible, . At half-past
one the school Of the First Methodist church,
headed by the Wheeler & Wilson Band, of
Bridgeport, in their new and showy uniform,
marched down Main street,and were joined
successively by the Baptist and Congrega-
tionai schools. All the people who were
not in the procession evinced their interest
by coming out to view the sight, and were
well repaid therefor. The schools were
well marshalled and marched in excellent
order. Teachers and scholars carried ban;
ners and flags of various colors, inscribed
with mottoes,&c.' in great numbers, and
each person wore a badge designating the
school to which they belonged. But the
most beautiful sight, next to the children
themselves, was the profusion of flowers ar-
ranged .in‘ crosaes, anchors, harps, wreaths,‘
and other designs. , . A
The prOcession marched to the Hepot
square, and thence to the Union School
grounds, where a grand sight was presented
by the schools marching and countermarcll-
ing in front of the building. Here the band
played and _the children sung a Sunday
School Hymn, after which they I‘"marched
in review” before the city oificials and in-
vited guests, and then proceeded to the
Methodist Church.' The procession alto-
gether, including teachers and children,
numbered about seven hundred and fifty, or
about one in four of the entire population,
which speaks well for the interest the peo-
ple Of South Norwalk show in Sunday
Schools. Besides; this it must be‘remem-
bercd that the Episcopal School was not
represented. - ' .
At the church the greatest difficulty was
in getting the people seated. Rev. Mr. Dun-
ning Opened‘the services with prayer, after
which Prof. Sherwin led» in, singing,. the
band playing the accompaniment, as they
did throughout the exercises. Rev. Mr. Pat-
terson read 'a selection,afte'r which there
was more singing. Rev. Mr- Dunning then”
made a few remarks, followed by. Rev. Mr:
Patterson, with singingintervening. Mr.
Vincent then made the principal address,
and was followed in a few earnest remarks
by Rev. J. chg, Jr., of the 2d M. E. Church,
and by more singing. Revs. Dunham,of
the First Congregational church, and
Thomas of the First Methodist, were among
the ministers present. Mr. Thomas pro-
nounced the benediction, after which the
, procession was re-formed andmarched dOWn
Main street to the Opera House, the use of
which (though in an uninfinished state) had
been‘kindly tendered for the occasion by
Messrs. Knapp & Fitch. Here refreshments
had been lavishly provided, and. all were
served with cakes, ice cream, oranges,_&c.
The band took the stage and rendered the
“Poet and Peasant” exquisitely. I
A meeting was held at the First. Congre-
gational churcbin - the evening, which was
lai'gely attended; The church was decorat-
ed with the flowers, banners, etc., which had
been carried in theprocession, and present-
ed a holiday appearance. Rev. Mr. Dun-
ning read astatistical paper, after which
Rev. Mr. Thomas, too sick to make an ad-
dress, good-naturedly assumed the harder
task of proving himself a “first-class begs
gar" while the contribution boxes were he-
in g passed.
, Rev. Mr. Vincent then talked at some
length on the general subject Of “ How to
teach children.” .

record in the Chancery court of that city.
In it occurs the following passages, which
are surely a curiosity in will literature ;
To my daughter-_-—, who, has done so much
to alienate my affections, but who I
still deeply and tenderly love, I give' as an
evidence of the beauties of her doctrines of
secession and rebellion, doctrines and aims
which have reduced me from‘ affluence to
beggary, and she‘ yet thinks, perhaps, that
"The Lost Cause’ will be regained, she may
think my bequest as valuable, more so, pOs-,
sibly than the same amount given in Yankee
securities, I give her the following, viz: 25
confederate bonds of K. P. & 00., $25,000;
18 servants emancipated by secession, $10,
000; insurance and bank stocks, $15,000; all -
my claims against the sO-called confederate
government for the wanton, cruel, and
Wicked destruction Of my property on the
3d of April, 11865,. $200,000. Icould con-
tinue the list to the extent of more _than .
half a million of dollars, but the above will
suffice. She will see what,- the effect of
secession has been, but for which I could
have left all my :children a handsome cam-
petency.” .

OBJECT Trauma—An item is going
the rounds Of the exighanges stating that a
woman school teacher in Utica, Wis, a1-
IOWS the pupils five minutes to go out and
see the railway train when it passes. That
is a sensible teacher. In Old times the
windows of school-houses were built so high
as to prevent the little prisoners from :llook-
ing out, and an elephant might pass by and
the little urchins be compelled to keep their
eyes on their books, lest they might, through
an- open door, catch a glimpse of the aura lal.
No wonder boys and girls came to hate
school hours, and to look upon them as the
darkestvof the twenty-four. That woman
teacher in Wisconsin is Sound in her head ;
she fa’vors- “object teaching,” 'she would
give a recess were a menagerie to pass, or a
4 circus hand to go by, and the children
wouldstudyI all the harder for the indu1-‘
geuce.

The Regatta.
Last Tuesday was a splendid day for the
regatta—bright and clear, with a good
breeze. Quite a large crOwd of ladies and
gentlemen gathered to see the race, and were
amply repaid. ,
The first raceIWas between boats Of the
third class,asfollo s: Pearl, OfBridgeport;
Quickstep andBelt of Norwalk. This race
was won by the Pearl, Quickstep coming in
second. The Belt was disabled. The prizes
Offeredfor this class were, 1st, water pitcher,
hosted and chased; ‘2d fruit stand, orna-
mentcd; 3d, goblet,-plain. » ,
The second race was contested by the
“Go Easy,” “Ripple,” and “Apprentice,” and
was won bythe Ripple, Apprentice coming
in second, and the GO Easy breaking down.
The prizes offered tor‘ this class were, 1st,
Sliver pitéher, richly frOsted; 2d,fruit stand,
with carved ornaments; 3d, ornamented
goblet; ' -
The principal race of the day was then
contested by the following boats: The
“Ada,” entered by Mr.‘ Meeker, of South-
pnrt; the “Isabel,” owned by Mr. W. R.
McCready, Of Suugatuck ; the “Mystery, of
Southport, and the “Louise,” of Norwalk.
The latter met with a series of mishaps, and
finally retired from the—wave. The Ada
and Isabel were- evidently very evenly
matched, which fact rendered the race very
exciting. They came in very close together,
and the judges declared the former the win-
ner by a quarter of a minute. This time
was'so close that it was-a victory to be
proud of but not worth boasting about, for
the other boat might fairly be expected to
win half the time in’ a given number of
races. The prizes for this class were, lst,
siver pitcher, richly frosted and ornamented;
2d, silver cake basket, richly chased and
elaborately wrought; 3d, silver goblet:
chased and ornamented.
After the race a pleasant party gathered
at the‘residence of Mr. McCready and par-
tOok of his hospitality. I
Cashier Street deeply regretled the acci-
dents tO the Louise, as he was confident of
winning the race. He_now hopes foran
early opportunity of again meeting the win-I
ning boats. —
Three of the prizes Were taken by our up-
town boats,-viz:' Wm. Kellogg’s Appren-
tice; Charles Brotherton’s Quickstep and
LeGrand Jennings’ Belt. None these how-
ever. we regret to say, were first of the
classes in which the boats sailed.

So general has the habit Of smoking be-
come in this country, that tObacco is now
reckoned rather as one Of the necessities Of
life than one of its luxuries. Old smokers
Will deny themselvesIOf food, if need be, to
obtain the precious weed. - It is related by
Baron Leibig that during the late Franco-
Prussian War, the wounded soldiers, when
exhausted with suffering, would turn away
from the most delicate liquors and food, yet
would .eagerly smoke a cigar, even if it was
of poor quality. To gratify this common
appetite there were manufactured in the
United States last year 1,332,246,000 cigars,
or at least taxes were paid on that number.
At ten cents apiece this would give the
enormous sum Of $132,224,600 to be divided
among manufaéturers, dealers, producers,
the customs, and the internal revenue.
There has been a good deal of growling of
late, not only among dealers, but among
consumers, at the extremely onerous taxes
on an article of such general use. As will
be seen from the following figures, these
complaints arenotI wholly groundless: A
thousand fine cigars, bought for $50 in Ha-
vana, cost, when landed in New York,
$112.50; for to the prime cost in Cuba, is
added the export duty Of $1.50; freight 40
cents ad calm-cm $12.50; $2.50 per .pound
estimating the weight at .15 pbunds, $37.50;
internal revenue tax $5; handling 60 cents;
gold premium on duties $5. We have al-
ready reached‘thc $112.50, and have still to
add the profits of wholesale and retail
dealers, and neither take less than 25 per
cent., and we have brought the cost per
thousand to the neighborhood Of $170 be-
fore the-cigars reach the consumer.
It will be seen that Ofthis sum $60 goes
to the Government, which all intelligent
smokers will agree is to ‘m‘Itlch. Now that
Uncle Sam has made free “the cup that
cheers” 'we trustIhe will consider the oppres-
sive taxes that now weigh upon those who

ment surely should be satisfied with some-
thing less than one third of the retail price
of an article which is used from one end Of
the land to the other, and by all sorts and
conditions of men, _and which is, ifa poison,
like tea and'cofl’ee, a very slow- poison, and
a very great'solace to tho habitual consu-
mer.—Boston‘ Globe. ' .

Sunday-Schools and Temperance
_ Movements.
A missionary of the American Sunday-
school Union in Indiana writes: '
“In at least six of the Sunday-schOols
organized by me revivals Of religion have
. been enjoyed recently; and successful tem-
perance movements have been. made in
several localities—commencmg lnI Sundays
schools—where, a year 'ago, it would
scarcely have been safe even to allude to
the subject. . . _. . .
“The monster Intemperance ls hiding his
hideous head where, not long smce, he
stalked abroad fearless and shameless.
.“A keeper of a groggergr who, less than a
year ago, bitterly oppose the organlzatlon
of a Sundageschool, said to me lately, his
voice trem ling with emotion, ‘I’m afraid
I’ve done more harm than I can ever do
good ;’ asking me to pray that God would
“Onc'man in CrawYord county, who was
lately in the broad road, thanked God, in a
social meeting, that he I'was ‘oeither dead

school to save his soul.”
‘SOUTH NOHWALH ITEMS.
COLLECTED FOR THE GAMTE.
You .know, Messrs. Editors, that there
have been a good many things down here
”9121/ low. I don’t mean the grogshops
«altogether, or those who rent them. but such
things, for instance, as the railroad bridge,
and so-wc raised it. The railroad track also
was too low, and we raised that; have had
nice new steel (not stolen) rails' put down
past our depot the last week. _Then the
road was too low from Dr. Pardce’s hill up
to Conductor Wilcox’s. It made the obese
conductor puff worse than his engine, these
hot days, going down one hill and up the
other, and so we are now elevating that high-
way. Thc horse railroad track being too
low we shall raise that up also.
We had a caucus the other night. It was
raining and but few were out, but a majority
of those present felt that our mayor. needed
elevating, and approving his conduct in the
past,they voted to raise him to the dignity
of Chief Ruler of our city again. There is a
“citizen’s” ticket outhcaded by Capt. Wm.
H. Ferris, it is said, in OppOsitiou ; but our
nominee knowing how the “ Old thing
works” so well,by past experience, will be
hard to beat. ~ ' .
The mayor has raised a very pretty bank
building, and two nice stores opposite. ‘ It is
a pity he could’l have started a pin or shoe-
pcg factory with the same money. Chichcs.
ter do. in the old Knapp store, which he has
been .. raising. WoI want workshops and
factories here and no more stores for the
present. By the way our friend Chichcstcr
is a tasty fellow. I-IeIhas just given his new
block front a Dolly Varden touch of black
and gold. It looks gorgeous and leads the
mOurning style. Brother Kidney is the
artist as did it. ‘
Our military boys stand ready to come up
into the country on the Fourth and help
you rural fellows celebrate.
Our coal dealers are shoveling Off their
coal at $6 per ton. Beat that if you can,
and give 2000 pounds for ifton every tinleI
as all dealers do here in the city.
Your brother Arnold, of the Independent
has sued N ewsman Swords for. sundry
copies of that“grcat State paper," which is
to come before Justice Foote; where it is ex-
pected he will have to foot the bill, and an
admiring world will see that the “pen is
mightier than Swords.” '
There was a little girl attending one of

'most extraordinary swindlcs (if we may call
it so) which in these days of dodrres has
been brought to light. A man in Maiden,
Mass, has sent great numbers of circulars
to various people throughout the country,
offering to forward tO them by mail “a hand-
some] bound book, with a rich and pecu~
liarlv interesting picture for frontispiccc, ex-
ecuted in the highest style of French art, in
several colors. Every bachelor,” the cir-
cular said, “should read it—every married
couple, and unmarried ladies, if they like;
every one should keep it in the trunk or the
ocket. Sent by mail on’ receipt of eighty
cents.” The bait took ; a rent many
people sent the money; and w at does the
reader suppose they received in return ? The

A VAIN SACRIFICE—The devotion of
woman was never better exemplified than
in a case recently developed in' Cincinnati.
An erring husband was locked up in a sta-
tion-house tor drunkenness, and to secure
his release some money was necessary. His
Wife had not the money, but she had a mass
of long, beautiful hair, and this she sold for
the necessary amount, thereby accomplish-
ing the sweet boon we have heard so much
about. And now observe the inconstancy
of man. The miserable husband was great-
ly grieved that Ithc wife had been shorn of
so much of her beauty. The lady’s power
over him was gone as effectually as was the
strength of Samson after his interview with
Deliah. He has used his freedom, purchas-
ed at such touching sacrifice, to accomplish
a divorce, and in a few days, it is stated,
wil be wedded to another woman.
