Cnannns VISAACS was more widely known. by reason of the various offices held by him forvso long a time, than either of those mentioned or than almost any other aged surviving citizen. It is as a Citizen and public man that we propose to speak of him. The first influen- tial and honorable position held by' him, so far as we know, was that of teacher in the Down Town district school as early as 1818, where he made himself felt as the rigid dis- ciplinarian and expounder and executioner of law, and “terror to evil doers,” that he afterwards became in a wider sphere. In. the files of the GAzn'r'rn mention is made August'l'lth, 1819, of a co-partnersbip between him and his elder brother, Benja- min, in the grocery, drug and medicine bus- iness; of his being a collector of town taxes in 1824 ; of his being a deputy sheriff in 1881, which position he held several years ; of his sole dealing in hardware and groceries in 1838 ; of his being postmaster 1841—1843; of his b'cing‘a member of the Court of Bur- gesses in 1844. _ l In April, 1845, he was elected High Sheriff, on the. Whig ticket, by some 700 majority, and was re-eleeted in 1848 by an equally decisive vote, running ahead of his ticket. Not less widely and favorably was he kudwn as anoflicer of -the Fairfield County Bank, in which he was the youngest director under the Presidency of Henry Belden, Esq., and of which he was afterwards himself President for some twenty years. So, for more than half a century his erect and manly form has been conspicuous in our streets and assemblies, and he has been identified with our various interests. N o where else did he distinguish himself more than in connection with our Courts of Jus- tice, when the bar of Fairfield County had no superior in the State ; and he was honor- ed with the friendship and entrusted with the most important bu:-iness of its best men. Of late years growing infirmities have compelled him to relinquish public affairs, and to retire tO'the bosom of his family, in which he has been carefully watched over and tenderly and faithfully ministered to, until his end. . ~ The leading characteristics of Mr. Isaacs were so well known in this community that we need not write them. Those who did not know will readily infer them from the enumeration of the positions he was elected to fill. , His last days were marked by an unusual degree of interest and tenderness on the sub- ject of religion ; and he made frequent con- fessions of his need of the mercy of God, which he humbly and fervently implored. His memory will be warmly cherished. THE FUNERAL. . His funeral was attended from the Second Methodist E. Church, on Sunday aftern'oon last. There was a very large attendance of our people, including a large number of our eldest residents, assembled to pay the last sad tribute of respect. The coflin was borne from the house to the church, escorted by the masonic fraternity, and relatives and friends of the family. Messrs. Joseph W. Hubbell, Eli B. Bennett, Israel Lockwood, Henry I. Hoyt, Alfred Mallory and Evert Quintard officiated as pall bearers.’ After singing by the choir, Prayer was offered by the venerable Rev. Z. Davenport; Rev. W. C. Hoyt, of Stamford, read a hymn; Rev. John Pegg, Jr. preachedlan’ appropriate ser- mon, after which Rev. Dr. W. C. Mead read the burial service. The procession was then formed, and proceeded to the Down qun cemetery, where the remains were buried with masonic honors. “ ’Tis glorious to (lie for one's country,” thought private James H. Mitchell, a mere boy, who enlisted in Capt. T. L. Beckwith’s company, as he responded to the call of his commanding oflicer, to be one of the three hundred pickcd'men, who, with hand gren- ades assaulted the rebel works at Port Hud- son, June 14th, 1863, yet: only a flesh wound, tearing away the muscles Of the arm, and long suffering in Hospital were his reward at that time. He returned to his home, at N orwalk. receiving the welcome and thanks- giving Of his fellow-townsmen for the blood he had so nobly shed sustaining their honor. He lived among us in vigorous healthier nearly nine years. Early this spring he con- tracted a severe cold which settling on his lungs took him to an early grave, July 15th, 1872, aged 28 years, 7 months, and 28 days. During his sickness he received every atten- tion from his relatives and friends, and the constant care of a loving mother. He died with true religious faith, and it was a great consolation to him on his bed of sickness and death that in health he had provided for his kind mother by insuring his life for a few thousand dollars in her favor. He was bur- ried from the Episcopal Church, with Ms- sonic honors at the grave, the members of the fire department and Masonic Fraternity escorting the remains. “ None knew him but to love, none Named him but praise." A FmEMAN. SuDDnN DEATH—Mr. Noah Mosh er, keep- er Of the Norwalk Light House, died very suddenly last Wednesday afternoon. He was seated in a chair, spy-glass in hand, watching several vessels which were pass- ing the island, and talking about them to persons standing near. His son had left his side but a few moments to perform an act for him,’ when, desiring to ask a question, he called to him, and then his head fell backward and his hands slipped down by his side. Mrs. Mosber, seeing this from the house, ran to him, thinking he had fainted- His son also started to assist, but found his father whom he had just left in' apparent good health—a corpse. About a week pre- vious be had been somewhat affected by the sun, but for several days he had been to tended on Saturday last. ——————.—-l.

You know that I am seeking the more perfect reestablish- ment of my health by absolute rest and quiet during the summer months. I was invited a week beforehand, by telegraph, to speak at New Haven. I replied, by telegraph also, that I conidhot. By some mistake, however,I was announced to speak, and hence the disappointment. ' I support the Grant and Wilson ticket. Before it was made I had expressed my opinion of Mr. Greeley as a candidate. I have not changed it. By November it will be found that the opinion of the country has settled in the same direction. Make your mind easy about Connecticut. The State will give to General Grant, under present circumstances, a larger majority than it did four years ago. Yours, truly, O. S. Funny. Our Military Visitors. Companies F. and G. of the famous New York 71st Regiment, Captains Webber and Turner, arrived at South Norwalk yester- day morning about 11% o’clock. They were formally received by the Burnside Light Guards, Capt. J. C. Crowe, when a procession was formed comprising the Bat- talion of the 71st Regiment, the Burnside Gdards and the Weston Boarding School Cadets. After a short march the men were dismissed for the afternoon. Towards even- ing they again assembled and held Dress Parade, after which they were to have been entertained with collation, etc., at Military Hall, The visitors are accompanied'by the RegimentalDrum Corps, 22 drums, and the Regimental Band, 22 peices. To-day they are to participate in a Clam Bake at Greg- ry’s Point, and at about 6 o’clock, this after- noon they will march up East Avenue to the Green, where they will hold Dress Pa- ber to extend an invitation to - our citizens to be present. » The Burnside Guards and the citizens of South Norwalk generally, will exert them- selves to entertain their guests. A banner with the inscription “ Welcome Friends,” was stretched acrosa Main street, and flags were displayed at several other points. . The Grant and Wilson ratification meet- ing in New Haven, last Thursday evening, was a grand success. Gov. Jewell presided, and made a speech. The list of officers em- braced a number of democrats of standing who preferred to take the Republican "dose" pure and unadulterated and properly labeled or endorsed. Stirring speeches were made by Senator Buckingham, Henry L. Dawes, of Massachusetts, H. H. Starkweather. J. L. Strong, Ex.-Lt.-Gov., Cox, of Maryland, Judge Harrison, S. W. Kellogg, and by Thomas H_. Bond, of New Haven, promi- nently known throughout the' State as a leading Democrat. A colored Grant club, four hundred strong, marched on the ground, conclusively demonstrating that the color- ed men will vote as they fought. The meet- ing is reported to have been the largest political gathering ever held in the State. Our Schools‘ At the school meeting in the Center Dis- trict, held last Tuesday evening, it was voted- to lay a tax sufiicicnt ,to raise ‘the sum of $8,000, to be based on the next list perfected by the town, and to be collected previous to July 1, 1873. This tax, it is understood, will be at the rate of about six mills- The old officers were rte-elected. There will be severalichanges of teachers in this school, next term. Miss Baird has resigned' as assistant in the high school, in order to resume aposition she formerly held in Maryland. Miss Ella Banks has also re- signed with the view of going west. The committee commend these ladies in high terms as capable, faithful and effi- cient teachers. The new corps of teachers will be as follows: Principal, J. W. Fair- banks, Miss Ella F. Perry, Miss Lucy Fair- banks, Miss Minnie McKay, Miss Emma .McKay, Miss Carrie Flynn; one vacancy to be supplied. In the Over River District, Miss Emma Shaw has resigned and gone West. Miss J. G. McNutt has been promoted to take her place, and a Miss Carson has been appoint- ed to the position formerly held by MISS McNutt. The new list of teachers will therefore embrace the following names :— Principal, H. B. Wigham; Miss Hefi‘ron, Miss McNutt, Miss Carson, Miss Fannie C. Kitnber, Miss Dickcrman and Miss Nellie M. Ells. At the South Norwalk Union School we hear of no contemplated change in teachers. .W— . A company of the 13th Regiment, N. Y. S. N.

They return on the Americas, on Thursday. They bring a drum corps and Grafulla’s Band. .D THE Tacit—There was quite a large at- tendance at the County Fair Grounds, on Saturday afternoon last, to witness the first trot of the season., Everything'passed Off in an orderly manner, and the spectators scent to have been generally well satisfied.

A paper in Virginia City, Nevada, under date of July 3d, tells the following interest- in!r story :—-“For several hours, yesterday affe’i‘noon, there were visible from this city, on Twenty-two-mile desert, five or six tall columns of sand, sucked up by as many whirlwinds. At set: these would all have been water spouts, but upon the desert they were only what we might call sand spouts. The columns appeared to be ten feet in diameter and 1,000 feet in- bcight. Although they waltzed about over the plain for two or three hours they never came together and never lOst their distinctive cylindrical form, and when they did go down they‘went down together—all falling at once. These sand spouts are familiar to old prospectors and seem to indicate a change of weather. We have very'frequently seen in the Forty-mile desert, east of the lower sink of the Carson, not less than ten or fifteen of these tall sand columns at the same time, it is seldom that they come together, but when they do they dart forward like two flashes of lightning, and an explosion sounding like a heavy blast ends all, and the two columns of sand "fall to the ground.” .__._._.4.._.__...__.

The first annual meeting of the Connecti- cut Baptist Social Union was held last Wed- nesday, (17th inst.) at the Wadawanuck House, Stonington, and was: very enjoya- ble occasion. - *The Union is composed entirely of laymen connected with the denomination in this State, and is designed to cstfiblish and culti- vate mutual acquaintance, and promote social intercourse between them ; also to consider and discuss matters connected with vancement of the cause in the State, with a view of stimulating to larger activity and in- creased liberality. The Society was organized at New Haven one year ago, with, 41 members. It now been held at Norwalk, Hartford and Nor- wich. At Norwalk the meeting was held in connection with the State Convention, and the members of the Convention, with their ladies and the ladies of the Norwalk church, were invited to the collation at Lockwood’s Hall. At this meeting at Stonington the members were also permitted to take their ladies, which added much to the interest and enjoyment of the occasion. '. After spending the day at that popular resort, Watch Hill, the members met for business at six p. m. at the Baptist church, Stonington, hearing annual reports, electing oflicers, &c. A128 the collation was served at the Wadawannck House. From 150 to 200 ladies and gentlemen were seated at the tables. After amply discussing the good things provided, fully showing (as one of the speakers said) that the Union, although an infant only one year old,had passed through the period of “cutting teeth,” the speaking began. Sound common sense, brilliant eloquence and sparkling wit were commingled in the speeches made. until a late-hour, when the company' broke up, after singing the Doxology, feeling that the Union had entered upon its second year with emouraging prospects. Its officers are :—Jas. L. Howard, Hart- ford, President; Hon. Francis Wayland, Vice Presidents; L. H. Biglow, South Nor- walk, Secretary ; Frank S. Brown, Hartford, Treasurer. . Its next meeting will be held in October, at Waterbury, in connection with the meet- ing of the State Convention. ‘ REPORTER. sense Fruit Jar, at Keeler, Holmes & 00's. 0 Carlton Cheese, at Keeler, Holmes 8: Co’s. . . SnNA'ron Swan’s Posrrrom—Ex-Sena- tor James A. Shields of Missouri has been trying to persuade Mr. Sumner to adopt the course which leading liberals have urged upon him, namely, to speak upon the issues of the hour in Boston and then go through the West and South. After hearing‘the va- rious arguments which Shields presented, Mr. Sumner replied that, while he had strong sympathy with the Greeley movement, there was one thing which caused him to hesitate, and that was the probable treat- ment of his colored wards by the democracy. For these he had nothing to hope at the bands of that party, and for himself he had no intentign of deserting them. He could not see his way clear to. cooperate actively with the parfy that never would accept the principles of his civil rights bill. Last win- ter, when he with some of his ' asso- ciates were battling the administration, and his civil rights bill was pending, he went over to the democratic side of the Senate chamber and appealed to them there to vote with him so as to give him a chance to go with the new movement, so that he. could support it consistently, feeling that the rights of the colored race would be safe with the new party. But in spite of his appeals and reasons no one of the democratic senators would vote with him. Now his only difll- ‘culty in joining actively in the effort to elect Greeley 'was the refusal of his democratic friends to give bitn the least assurance that the rights of the colored men would be re- spected. Shields, in reply, argued that these senators belonged to the dead past and did not represent fire democracy of thepresent, but Mr. Sumner ended ‘as he began,by rc- ahsertiug his doubts whetherhc could depend upon the new party. to do justice to the negro—Washington Correspondence Boston Advertiser. ”0“» What a wonderful piece of work is man, and what a marvellously small thing may upset his eqnanimity.

EDrrons:—I would like to call public attention to an act, or series of acts, of wanton cruelty, perpetrated by boys and applauded by men, which have taken place on our most frequented thoroughfare, at dusk, every evening in the last week, and witnessed by many citizens and by those “ guardians of the peace,” whose duty it is to stop such things. I allude to the killing of the “goatsuckers,” or, more properly, swallows. Several boys arrange themselves upon either side of the bridge, and as the birds fly up and down the creek, they strike at them with bats and knock them into the water. .In one single evening I saw eight of the inoffensive birds knocked into the wa- ter and left to drown, by these cruel boys, old enough to know better, and urged on by men who seenxd to take delight in lis- tening to the plaintive, touching cry of the little birds as they float down the river. There was passed, at a late session of our State legislature, a law. relative to cruelty to animals, which I suppose also includes cruelty to birds. This law makes it punish-' able by fine or imprisonment, or both,to wantonly kill, maim, or in any way injure animals that are inoffensive to man, and recommends that greater care be taken to protect them from ,harm. Now, perhaps those‘ boys who were en- gaged in this cruel pastime knew not that instead of being merely inoffensive these swallows-are a blessing'to man, and that it is their duty to protect them. from injury; not alone from motives of humanity, but be- cause they are among the most useful of birds. In England, and I think in this Country, 1!] some State‘s, these swallows are protected by law, and in New York a law 'has been passed providing for their' breed- mg. For the benefit of the boys I will say that according to writers on Natural History, and from the observations of others who interest themselves in the habits of these birds, they are useful to us by clearing the air of insects, which would otherwise tor- ment as with their poisonous bites and stings. They fly through the air, near the ground, with mouth wide open, and catch all the insects they can see, gulping them down while on the wing. ' Gould,a cele- brated student of Natural History, says of the swallot': “Early in the spring, when the solar beams begin to arouse the insect tribes from their annual state of torpidity, the swallow is seen returning from its long migrations beyond the ocean; and in pro- portion as the weather grows warmer, and its insect supply increases, it gathers strength and activity. The breed of the swallow ought to be cherished, as the bird is of infinite ser- vice to mankind, by destroying myriads of vermin which would otherwise prove fatally prejudicial to the labors of the husband- man.”. Again he says “ Swallows will at- tend horsemen for miles, over wide downs, to collect such insects as are aroused .by the trampling of the horses’ feet”, Speaking of the “goatsucker” or swallow, Mr. Gould says, “It is so called from its large mouth, and from the ridiculous belief of the igno- rant of its sucking goats. The least obser- vation and attention would convince men that these birds neither injure the goatherd nor the grazier.” Mr. White, another eminent naturalist says: "The ‘ striking at the cattle,’ as the sapient rustics call it, is, in fact, the leap which the bird makes at’the nocturnal flies which are to’rmcnting the herd; and that, with more good sense than their masters possess, the cattle are aware of, and grate- ful for, the service which the birds thus render them.” (So much for the usefulness Of these birds. But even if they. were ofno use to us, the common feelings of humanity should pre- vent these boys from thus wantonly injur- ing them. They may plead ignorance and thoughtlessncss, but the men who were looking on and approving their actions by applauding them whenevera bird was hit cannot say they were ignorantof the use. fulness of these birds. Let us hope there will be no occasibn to speak of this again.

They do not ap- pear to be afraid of being injured-by the liquor which they pay for themselves, but apparently only desire to be protected from the liberality of others. 013* 500 barrels of.
