At the meeting in Hartford last week, Of

Ely, Mayor of South Norwalk was appoint-
ed a member of the Slate committee, for

columns;n0‘,v that full reports have been
received, it rants wildly, day after day,
about the State having been carried by
fraud, and then ,cooly talks of Greeley be-

, MIDSUMMER CONCERT-
“ About lhcpleasantest and most interest-
-ing Sunday-school concert we have ever at-
tended was the midsummer concert of the
Congregational . Sunday-school, of South
Norwalk, held last Sabbath evening in their
church. The altar was decorated on one
side with varieties of choice fruits, vegeta-
bles and flowers, representing the good;
the other side was dressed with noxious and
poisonous weeds, as representative of evil;
all furnished and brought by the scholars
of the school.
The exercises were presided over by Mr.
Frank A. Ferris, Asst. Superintendent, and
opened with singing, “Praise God from
whom all blessings flow," followed by re-
sponsive readings on the subject of “THE
CREATION." Recitation by Primary ‘Class.
Gloria Pairi. The Lord’s Prayer. Singing
of a Hymn. Responsive readings on “ TIIE
Gnow'rn.” Gloria Patri. Appropriate ad-
dress by Rev. Mr; Hoyt, of East Hartford,
well illustrated. Hymn. “ THE EVIL AND
Goon,” responsive reading. Class recita-
tions. Pleasing address by Rev. Mr. Jones,

ediction. ‘
The exercises throughout Were most per-
fect and coinplete,and rcdouncled very much
to the credit of the school and its officials,-
and were well appreciated by the congrc

church and the close attention paid by all.

' Our Water Works continue in excellent
condition, and the water seems to give good
satisfaction wherever it is used, either for
domestic or manufacturing purposes. Most
of our large factories have found it to their
advantage to dispense with their steam
pumps and introduce Borough water. Supt.
Cotter says that the work of 'tapping the
maius is progressing nicely, and that there
are no complaints from any quarter, in re-
gard to the quantity or quality of the water
furnished. Quite a number of cilizens have
introduced hydrants for sprinkling gardens
and streets. ' The work of pipe laying,
superintended by Mr. Dufi‘clt, was a splen-
did job and that gentleman is entitled to
great credit.. Seventeenfmilcs of pipe are
laid, and there are no breaks or leaks what-
ever. Our cilizcns are certainly to be con-
‘gratulated upon the success of the Works
and the economical manner in which they
were Constructed.
Excursion to thchfleld.
The Danbury & Norwalk Railroad Com-
pany paid their stockholders an extra Divi-
dend, last Thursday, not in cash, but in
something that will last longer—enjoyment.
The stockholders from this vicinity assem-
bled at the depot, with their families, to take
passage in the train that leaves our depot at
about 10 o‘clock. a. m., and seldom is such a
good company gathered here to participate
in an excursion. To mention prominent
names of all the “solid” men, would take too
much space. Sufiice it to say that there
were three cars filled With ladies and gen.
tlemen of culture and refinement, and that
at Bethel two more cars containing a simi4
lar part y from Danbury, were added to the
train. The ride over the Danbnry road,
was much enjoyed, and the familiar scenery
again admired. The scenery on the She-
paug Valley Road wasa surprise to most
of the passengers, and delighted all. In Or-
dcr to get from Bethe! to the top of the hill.
of old Lilchfield it is absolutely necessary
for the Railroad to follow the winding, snake
like course of the Shepaug river, and there-
sult is a constant succession cf wild, rough,
charming pictures for the gratification of
the tourist. We have so recently described
a ride over this road thatit will not be nec-
essary for us to dilate upon its'beaulies.
At Washington, Asa,Smith, Esq, joil‘lcd
the party. Arriving at Litchfield flags fly-
ing in the breeze gave us notice that we
were expected. The Norwulk excursionists
were taken to the Mansion House, and the
Danbury party to the United States Ho-
tel, opposite, and soon we were invited to
dinner which had been prepared for all in
aceordancc with orders from the Danbury
Railroad Company. The Mansion House
from Albany, and a schooner load from
Bangor. He also sent one‘ telegram to
Michigan ordering fifteen car loads of sea»
.soncd lumber—a long train of. itself. This
shows that our'dealers fairly scour the coun-
try for good stock and low’prices.
We complete the “Adventures of 9. Mar
chant’s Clerk" in this issue, and next week
we shall commence the publication of a new
serial which will run through our columns
several months,eutitlcd “Public Acts of the
State of Connecticut passed May Session
1872.” This great work, if not of thrilling
interest to all readers, will prove of vital
interest to the unlicensed and others, and if
many find the long columns dry reading
they can console themselves that they are
not of such doubtful morality as some of
Cbas.Readc’s exciting novels. After the
publication none can plead ignorance of the
Law. , '
One night last week three fellows were
seen trying to force an apparently young
girl into an open lot at the lower end of
France street. A dog suddenly appearing
on the scene, thogirl succeeded in breaking
away, and meeting a gentleman tried to ex-
plain thc situation by signs, and. then ran
into a neighboring yard. The fellows were
afterwards scen prowling around the street,
and seemed angry at having lost their'vicx
lim. There is a very darkspot at the lower
end of the street, and the residents in that
vicinity would be much pleased to see a r
street lamp erected there. ‘
On Tuesday last, as Mr. Vi m. B. Ryder
was walking on the track of the N. Y. & N.
'H. railroad, near Rowayton station, he came
lofia place where a sort of drain had been
built under the track, two or three feet deep,
and some two feet wide. In this place he
found two? large railroad tics inserted be-
tween the rails, braced at the bottom and
spreading at the top in the form, of 3V.
Knowing that a train was due he went to
work and succeeded in removing the ties.
and then reported. the affair to the station
master so that watch might be kept for the
miscreant who placed them others.
people certainly acquitted themselves with
much credit, and We héardno complaints
from the Danbury side of the Park.
Judge Origen S. Seymour, Judge Wood-
rufi‘, and other citizens of the place, hospita-
biy entertained a number of the excurswn-
isls, and did all in their power to make the
time pass pleasantly. At five o’clock, p.
m., the party returned to the depot and de-
parted amid the cheers of the spectators.
.A very pleasing feature of the excursion
was the appearance of D’Artois on the train,
with a corps of trained (private) servants,
who proceeded to dispense ice water, lemon-
ade and fruit on the up trip,~and ice water,
cake and ice cream on the return trip? For
this entertainment, the passengers were in-
debted to the thoughtful consideration and
generosity of on;- of’ the leading stockholders,
and they fully appreciated the refreshments
and still more the kindly feeling which
prompted the offering.
Supt. J. W. Bacon was constant in atten-
tion and unremitting in efforts to make all
things pass ofi'plea santly, and all the officers
of the Road exerted themselves to contribute
their share to the general pleasure. Supt.
Graig, of the Shepaug Road, also joined the
party, and did all in his power to add to the
success of the excursion. The N orwalk'
party arrived here at 9 o’clock, p. m.,
and were unanimous in expressions of their
delight with the entire affair.

Itime ill Darien last week Monday. He at-
tempted to serve a writ of'ejcctment upon a
man named Waterbury, who resisted, and
fired three shots at Scarlcs. which came un-
pleasantly near but fortunately missed the
ollieer. Our deputy; however, is not a man
to be bluffed off, even by powder, and se-

SABATOGA SPRINGS, Aug. 10, 1872.
There are seVerul w: ys of reaching this
great resort from Norwalk, one is by the
early train,affording ample lime to reach
34th street landing, on the North river,
where the day boats to Albany stop to re-
ceive passengers. This route affords an ex-
cellent opportunity to see the Hudson river,
so rich in unsurpassed scenery and histori-
cal associations.
The green hills of Westchcster, the lofty
palisudcs extending some twenty miles, the
beautiful fields of Rockland county, with
the fine outline of the distant mountains
and its magnificent country seats, do but
serve to introduce the traveler to its crown-
ing glories—the highlands, with their
varied scenesuof beauty, constantly develop-
ing to make the trip one of almost unsur-
passed interest.
At Albany wc experienced the strongest
argument against this route in having to
Wait nearly three hours for the Saratoga
. train, which leaves. at 7:55 o’clock, and
reaches its" destination about 10 o’clock, p.
'm.,loo late, especially for, those who have
to look up a stopping place‘ in the overflow-
ing conditionhofifihe hotels. We were for-
tunate in havinglhe friendly hand extended
to guide us to quarters, and were pleased to
see so many familiar faces here.
The first business, as it is'the duty of so-
journers, is to ascertain which springs are
suited to their case and \how to drink from
.‘them in order to receive the greatest benefit.
And this information is eagerly sought by
the thousands who come for health and
healing rather thanfiom the force of custom
.and fashion. It seems to be generally con-
ceded that the Congress, Empire and
Hathorn are the leading cathartic springs
affording all the properties requisite for the
larger portion of visitors. The High Rock
spring whichwas the first discovered is now
closed in order to be . retubed, which is
.rapidl y approaching its completion at‘a cost
of about seven thousand dollars. The effect
of these works have been to cause the sup-
ply of the Star spring to cease, and that
favorite spring is temporarily closed,
The properties of these springs and their
subtle combinations, which chemists admit
cannot be imitated by any artificial prepa-
rations, should be obtained direct from the
fountain in order to secure their full bauefits. .
It is wonderful to witness the crowds
which flock to them day by day. The rich
and poor, the millionaire in his costly equip-
age, and the daily toilet in his soiled gar-
ments alike, come in the full faith of their
virtues.
Norwalk is largely represented the pres-
ent week with promise that our numbers is
to be considerably augmented in a few days.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Osborne and son,Rev. H.
N. Dunning, and J. H. Knapp and son are
at the Temple Grove ; Mr. and Mrs. C. 0.
Beds, Mr. and Mrs. Butterworth and son are
at Congress Hall; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bene-
dict and son are at Mr. A. Benedict’s ; Mr.
F. S. Lyon, principal of South Norwalk
school is at Mrs. Miller’s; Mr. Jesse Smith
is at the Empire House, and probably others
whom we have not as yet had the pleasure of
meeting here.
Yesterday the great sensation was the
arrival of President Grant and family with
Gen. Sheridan. They alighted amid the
booming of cannon "and the huzzas of the
mighty throng all eager to catch a sight of
the head of the nation. The President was
escorted to rooms in Congress Hall, and
there, after the party had dined,a general
reception was held in .tbe ample parlors,
while the music added interest to the occa-
sion. As the Presidentcame, so at 6 o’clock,
he departed, with the almost deafening
shouts of the thousands gathered at the
depot. One of the most pleasing and sig-
nificant incidents of his visit, was the pre-
sentation, by the waiter of the hotel, of a
beautiful basket of flowers, with a card in
the center on which ,was written, “Our
Choice.” ' ' '
By a. large portion of the visitors, the
daily prayer meeting held in the Congrega-
tional church are greatly prized, as is evi-
day to day. The celebrated Quakeress, Miss
Smilce, frequently makes an address, while
the large number of distinguished clergy-
men here add great interest to the meetings.
Next week will doubtless bring a mighty
throng of that class who frequent the race
turf. To your correspondent such sports
have no charm, and your readers will have
to seek for the minutes and records of their
favorites from other sources. * _

. We are once more at our summer resort,
South Norwalk—‘uow a city. Among the
first to greet us on our arrival was Mike or
Mick —'-, the hackman. Everybody knows
him or ought to; he is such a genial,
courteous and accommodating fellow. It is
a luxury when one has no horses of his owu
to find livery men and hackmen who will
do all they can to make up or fill up the
gap. When we have been here in former
years, we found all such conveniences at L.
Scofield’s, but this year a new Pharaoh is on
the throne who knew not'Joseph, but we
have been kindly attended to in this respect
by H. Hopkins.
There is no satisfactory reason why N or-
walk should not be a popular summer rc-
sort. Here are delightful drives, as fine sea
views/and sailing privileges as can be found
anywhere on the sllore of the Sound, and
elegant building sites. There are some
things, however, that it is sadly in need of,
after the streets are graded and the walks
laid,——I mean by Norwalk the whole town,
including the city of South Norwalk. The
first thing is a large, commodious and well
appointed hotel. I do‘ not know ofa good
hotel building in this place. As to land-
lords I presume there are several here who
know how to keep a hotel. I know of one
at least, and this is not saying sword in any
way reflecting on the others, because I do
not know them. But Mr. Foote, of the Old
Well Hotel at South Norwalk, is a gentle-
man of unquestioned excellence and qualifi-
cation for the place he fills. ~It is seldom we
meet with a man who so enlists our esteem
and confidence. Now if Mr. Ely would only,
put up a superior building and‘letMr. Footc
have it for a public house, it would pay both
in influence and money. Norwalk must
have afirst-class caravansary.
5 One thing more. The Congregational
church at South Norwalk is unfortunately
lécated, and should be a better building. A
new church on Mr. Beard’s lot, opposite the
school house, would be such an improve-
ment. *
That Greeley Club.
. Mnssus. Enrrons.—I observed in your
paper last week an invitation to such Repub-
lican voters of Norwalk as favor the Cincin-
nati candidates, to meet and organise a
Greeley club, signed by several gentlemen
whose names are a guaranty of political,
moral and religious strength in the proposed
organization, and whose action in the pre-
mises may wc‘l cause Grant and his minions
to tremble in their high places. But, if I
may be allowed to inquire, why was not the
invitation, extended also to the Democrats
of N orwalk who propose to vote for Greeley
of whom I am one 1’ Do these gentlemen
intend to leave out in the cold their fellow
citizens whose eyes have been so miraculous—
ly opened to the merits of Honest Old
Horace as the standard bearer of Democra~
cy? We recognise of course the general
“heftiness” of the gentlemen who have so
kindly taken the matter in charge, but we
submit that if they should conclude to let
us in to form a part—the tail end at least—
of their club, we might be found useful. We
can wiggle while they do the head work.
We don't venture to claim front seats in the
Synagogue of the New Dispensaliou; we
don’t ask to pitch the tune and lead in the
new hoSannas, but we can how! in the
chorus. The organizers 'of the Greeley club
can trust us. We go for Uncle Horace, and
his old white hat, and the New York Tri-
bune. Some of us hesitated, but Sumner’s
letter made the thing easy.
We want to join that club. Our mouths
water at the promise of cakes and beer, and-
pious exhortation, and the general feast of
reason and flow of soul foreshadowed in
the call. ’We might be allowed to come in
on probation at least. May we 1’

Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for Liver
y Complalnt.
Liver Complaint, J aundice and all billons disorders
arise from torpidit of the liver, causing a flow of
unhealthy bile; in mmstion of that organ produc-
ing an overflow into the stomach and intestines, or
from a derangement of the digestive or an with
which the liver is so closely connected. nhcalth
bile in the gall bladder or liver, still laboring, crow -
ing this unhealthy matter into the bleed, which it
then circulates over the body, causin a sallow tinge
and torpur of the whole system. Eit er of the above
described derangements of the functions of the liver
produces unmberless trains of diseases, the whites
of the eyes yellow, the tongue coated with a feverish
white or brown tinge. Where the liveris disordered
digestion is unhealthy, sometimes a- fair appetite and
sometimes none at all; the patient wrll sufi'er from
costiveness or diarrhea, or sometimes both: a eu-
ersl drowsy and melancholy feeling, often were In]
and sleepless, great weariness; famti re often
felt. The stomach laboring .to diges ood, often
creates a palpitatlon of the heart, and is frequently
mistaken for heart disease. Frequently the skin
breaks out in biles and sores or marked symptoms
of eryslpelas, with great itching and insufferable
restlessness. The in iation from scorned bile in the
blood often produces an irritation of mucus mem—
brane of the bronchial tubes. and from a slight cold
severe cough follows, with a dry. ropy expectoratlon ;
often nausea and vomiting. This unhealthy bile
mixed with the blood passes into the kidneys, pro-
duces pain in the urinary passages, sometimes pain
in the ack and dartln pains through the shoulder
blade, and frequently a i through the body; a sore-
neas is frequently felt about the region of the liver,
across the stomach and spine. Many dangerous
complaints have their origin in a derangement of the
liver and stomach. Two-thirds of the cases of con-
umption originate from liver complaintrmlermit-
tent, remittent and bliious fevers, bilious colic, cos-
tiveness, diarrhea. chills and fever, die. Frequently
one box of Schenck’s Mandrake Pills wrll remove
all those diseases; thfiy have an eflect on the liver
similar to mercury. ytakin a dosg,according to
the directions. and. then one ill a night for a week
or ten days, tbev will regulate the liver and throw
off all impurities, and soon perform its natural func-
tions without the use of large doses of purgatlve
medicine. In the sprin of the year those billous
disorders most common y commence, and a box of
these Pills may revent a continuous disease the
whole season. T ey are warranted not. to contain
a particle of'calomel o: mercury, in any shape, and
are perfectly harmless.
My Pulmonics rup has been before the public for
man years. an has raised hundreds from their
dent -bed. Since the invention of the M sndrake
Pills I can succeed in many cases where 1 could not
before. The stomach and liver are often so inactive
the Syrup cannot digest, and one Mandrake Pill. at
night, although the patient will think thev are hay-
‘ ing no effect, will soon regulate the stomach and by-
er without reducing the patient, and the .Pulmonlc
Syrup will assist in getting up a healthy circulation.
These Pills no :.on the liver similarly to calomel, and
I do solemnly assure the public that there is nq calo-
mel or mercury in their composition, or anything to
injure the system. I met a gentleman the other day
in front of the Girard House, and he asked wait 1
ever recommended my Pills for plies; I answered,
no. He said that Mr, Conklin sent to my store_ a
short time ago and got a dozen boxes and gave him
one, as his wife had been costive for years, and had
the lies very bad for along time, and was almost
afraid to take‘ them on that account; but Mr. Cook-
lin recommended them so highlyuhat she commenceu
takiu them, one every night, and uow‘sbe is entire-
ly we i; it cured the piles, and her bowels are as reg-
ular as they can be. . '
These rills were lnvenlez. to ass st Schenck’s Pul-
lnoulc Syrup in curing Consum tion when there is
constipation of the bowels an a torpxd liver, bnl
they are used now for» nearly every complaint. They
even prove to be a great. Vermlf‘uge. An oldgentle-
man in Baltimore, that had been. complaining of a
cough sin in his right side. skin sallow, tongue
coated, owels cosiive, and a dried up appearance.
called on me at my room. I gave him Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. lie came back the next
week to see me, and niche was much better, and
that he had passed thousands of these small worms.
He is now well. . _ .
About eight years ago, when I was receiving pa-
tients at the Marib uro’ Hotel, in Boston. a .lady
called on me and said she had been complaining a
long - time with a tape worm, as her_ physicians
thought. She said she was in root pain: at times
something would twist around 11 her stomach, and
even come up towards her throat anti hue. and. al-
mostsethercrazy: nothing would satisfy it but milk;
she would have to take a quart every night to bed
with her. and when it would begin '0 move she would
take a drink to satisfy it. This lady, when she visu-
ed me, was a sight to behold; bowels very cos-
ttve. tongue coated, breath offensive, and a dried up
sallow complexion. very nervous, and almost a sub-
Ject for the insane asylum. I gave her some SEA
Warn TONIC, and Manna/ms PILLS in large doses:
ten pills for three consecutive nights, and then one
each night for three nights (her bowels being in such
a con estcd state, it required an enormous amount
of pil s to unlock them), and when to come and see
me a sin. She came and said she was very sick -
said 5 e did not crave anymllk now. Thisccnvince
me that the animal. or whatever it. was troubling
her, was dead. I ordered her to takelen more pills:
after taking them she passed something. resem buzz

The subscriber received a note from the Christian
Union,'ou Saturday. saying “If you will give the in]
names of any subscriber, who, having subscribed
before the first of January, 1872,,not having received
their chromus, we will send them." They also say
“We do not claim that the subscriber must surrender
his certificate before we send the pictures. We never
said anything of the kind.” Many of you have told
me that you have received such a declaration. 1
wish those who have would send their names to the
Gaza-nu Ornos. Now to get the pictures you are to
cut off one of the directions you receive every week
and mailing it, directing it “Christian Union, 27

they ask. State in your letter that you have not re-
ceived them. H ENRY B ETTS.
