' On our hemeward way we halted at Prov-
idence, and participated in a Saturday after-
noon's Rhode Island clam bake, at Rocky
Point, a’picturesque nook and now quite
a fnmous and fashionable watering place on
the west bank of the Narragansett Bay. We
stop to detail our experiences here, and give
a sketch of the place, (although. this latter
we did last year) because the resort will be
kept open for pleasure seekers long into’the
' month of October, and because at'no season
of the year can the visitor better enjoy him-
selfthan now. It is one of the feW sensible
places on our ’coast,‘vwhere sensible peOple
love to congregate, and where real and
healtbml recreation is to be found at an eco-
nomical expenditure, and not a place where
gilded misery is purchased at an enormous
custj ’of money. Large numbers of ‘our
readers have already been here, and need no
incitements of ours t'o induce their annual
return. 3 his to thosewho have never visit.-

The place is under the direct proprietor-

and thesaperintendency of E. H. Kent, both
active and energetic caterers of taste and
geodjudgment,.who leave nothing neglected
which may add to the comfort and pleasure
of their guests. The grounds and groves
comprise a whOle farm, while the hotel for
season boarders, and the monster dining
hall are ample for all transient guests. The
dining'hall is the largest in America, and
contains 18,000 square feet, seating with ease
. and comfort 1500 persons at asitting. Twice
during lhe past summer there have been ten
thousand visitors on the grounds at one

THOMAS.
SOUTH NORWALK, September 28th, 1872.
Our GRANT AND WILSON Club Room was
opened with a “ full house,” as many as the
room would hold, probably one hundred
and twenty-five persons being present, quite
in contrast to the “ nineteen” assembled the
same evening at the Greeley headquarters.
President Wm. H. Thomas made an- elo-
quent and stirring speech, giving General
Kilpatrick the brand of a liar, citing the
harangue of that“ sorehead’.’ when he said
in his Maine speeches, “ that at the battle of
Cold Harbor General Grant was drunk.”
This charge is an outrageous falsehood, Mr.
Thomas being with General Grant at that
battc, not leaving him for one hour even,
messing with him, sleeping in the same tent
with him, and his constant companion for
months,during which time he never saw him
drink any liquor, not even wine. Touching
upon the point of General Grant’s not
knowing anything, he said we were all glad
enough to pay him homage; he had been
had crowned our arms with triumph, defeat-
ed the enemy at every point, received the
surrender of Lee, and ending the rebellion
was received by the northern people with
that heartfelt gratitude which was his just
due, and-in 1868 was elected to the highest
position in' the United States as President.
Now four years have'passed away, his war
record is forgotten, he don’t know anything,
you can pick out a “ dozen men in South
N orwalk, that knows as much: as he does.”
Yet thig know-nothing President Grant, in
-a toast given by General Von Moltkc, of the
German 'army, in the presence of our club
President, was acknowledged to be “ the
greatest general of the age,” this toast being-
endorsed by Bismark,- whO also was present.
The speech. by'Mr. Thomas ‘was heartily en-
joyed by all present. Hon. A. Giddings
next spoke, rubbing “Honest Horace” rather
hard. Speaking of Horace’s political hou-
esly he said: “ If you want a man to hound
‘ On to Richmond,’ Horace Greeley was
your man. If you want a man to go to
Canada and help patch up a ‘ peace’ with
the rebels, Horace Greeley 'was your man.
If you wanted a man to hound President
Grant and Congress for passing Ku Klux
laws, H. G. was your man. If you wanted
a man-to go South and preitch to Southern-
ers that President Grantwas a. tyrant, Hor-
ace Greeley was your an. If you wanted
'a. strong high tori)?“ man, Horace is your
man; or' one to league with August Bel-
.mont on free trade, Horace is your man: If
you want a man to go to Pittsburg and ad-
vocate letting the SOuiheI-u States go if they
want to, Horace is your man. If you want
a man to deny this-Pittsburg--speech at Cin-
cinnati, Horace is your man. 074, honesty I
If this be honesty, good hoaoena, deliver us
from it!” Politically, Mr. Giddings thought
honestHOi-ace was as deep in the mire as any
of the New York politicians. -
We think we shall have to halve a largofi
room for our club, as this meeting will bring
out more staunch men. who heretofore have
felt inactive. Our'Five Mile River - delega-l
tion numbers about fifty. .

The opening meeting of the South Nor.

speech on taking the chair, and the boys all
‘shouted a hearty finch to the proposition to
go to work and win.

A pleasant party gathered at the house Of
Mr. Henry Smith, East Norwalk, last Wed-
nesday evening, and a sociable and enjoya-
ble evening followed. Quite a number of
the wOmen were disguised, although not
masked, to such perfection as to render
recognition almost impossible. Singing,
dancing, music,games and jokes were among
the festivities, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were
in their usual good spirits. In the course of
the evening refreshments were served, and
about 12 O’clock the party dispersed, feeling
satisfied that Mr. Smith’s is the place where
all can go and enjoy themselves to their ut-
most; capacity, and can feel perfectly at home,
as they are both of the jovial, merry, enter-
taining sort of people whichNOi'walk cannot

certain streets notyet supplied. This latter
clause should be adopted, as it is simply a
matter of common justice. The pipes have
been laid in nearly every street in the Bor-
ough and all property owners in the Bor-
ough are taxed therefore, but in several
streets the pipes have not been laid and yet

course of lectures to be delivered under their
auspices during the coming winter. The list
has not been fully completed, as the coni-

who are new to Norwalk audiences. Our
citizens will be pleased to learn that Mr.
Edmund Yates, the noted English lecturer,
editor and author, who recently arrived in
this country, has been engaged.- His lecture
“Modern Society,” which had a marked
success in London, having been delivered to
full houses there for a hundred nights;was de-
livcred last Friday evening by Mr. Yates
before a large audience, in the hall of Y. M.

The Little Town Meetings.
The annual Town Meetings occur next
Monday, when Town officers will be elected
for the ensuing year. The opposition are
making a strong effort, by means'Of com-
binations, to carry these, hoping thereby
that the moral effect will aid them in the
Presidential election following. Republi-
cans must’be up and doing and not allow
them to gain any encouragement in this
manner. If success is-important-to the
democracy it is no less so to Republicans.

Grant” ballots will flood the State. Go to

The examination into the courts of the

on the part Of the commander, which is in
strange‘and painful contrasts with the want

fied on Friday last :—

Opinion upon such matters worlh'something
as I have spent nearly two years of my life

sels, and for a long time have held a Con-
sular appointment under out'own Govern-

several anics on board ship attended with
loss of ife; in this instance, I believe that
had not Capt. Maury’s plans been frustrated
by what he calls in his report “carelessness
or worse, of a man in one of the life-boats,”
we would all of us have reached shore, With
the exception of those who might have been
lost by accident during the passage from the
ship to the shore, for which Capt. Maury
could not possibly have been responsible;
evury thing was so quiet on board from the

NEW YORK, Sept.'85.—A lengthy address
to the democracy of the United States was
issued to-day by the committee of the Louis-
ville convention. It explains the object of
the assemblage at that city, opposes the
Baltimore platform as undemocratic, cou-
tends that the masses of the democracy did
, not demand the nomination of Greeley and
the adoption of his platform, and says the
watchword is not “Anything to beat Grant,”
hut"Anything to prevent Greeley from heat-
ing and destroyiu the democratic part .”
Grant’s election, it says, Will be .less 0 a
calamity than that of Greeley, and _if the for-
mer is chosen the responsibility of it rests on
the Baltimore convention, which refused the
people either a democratic nominee or plat-
form. The address concludes b invoking
all democrats to vote for- O’ onOr. and
Adams.

_ Fireman’s Visit to Waterbury.
A large ,‘delegation‘ from ,Phoenix .Fire
Engine‘Compuny, No.1, of this place, ac-
companied by Chief Engineer, Charles F.
Loomis and 1st Assistant. Wm. A. Kellogg,
left here Wednesday afternoon last, to make
a surprise" call upon Citizens Fire Company,
No 2, of Waterbury, and ,to testify to the
friendship and good feeling felt toward said
company ever since their visit to Norwalk
on the 4th Of July last, the Phoenix boys took
along with them a fine photograph, by
Whitney, of a large group of the boys with
their engine, standing in front of their house
on Main street. They succeeded finely in
surprising the Citizens, finding them assem-
bled in their house at. a special meeting,
called for a special purpose, and little dream-
ing that the Phoenix boys had any intima-
tion of or knew of its being held, and there-
fore not expecting a visit from them on that
evening, although expecting one soon after.
After interchanging fl'iendly greeting, and
the transaction of a few business ”utters
by the Citizens Company, Foreman Ells, of
the Phoenix, called upon Mr. Win. E, Mont-
gomery, who in a few well chosen words
extended in behalf of Phoenix Company
the right hand of fellowship and presented
the picture prepared for the occasion. In
response, Foreman Plait, of the Citizens
Company, said taken as they were, unaware s,
he could not better return the oomph-
ment than by presenting to Phoenix Com-
pany a testimonial which had been prepared
by his company for presentation at an early
day to the Phoenix boys, so saying be pro-
duced an elegant Silver Presentation Front,
appropriately engraved and tastefully fram-
ed,‘which he passed over to Foreman Ells,
who accepted for and responded in behalf
of his company. _ _
The Phoenix boys who were in great glee
at the success of» their surprise, were taken
all aback upon the presentation of the Front
and promptly owned up “ beat” in the sur-
prise business.
The Front is 10x14 inches, mounted on
black velvet in a large oval frame, and in-
scribed “ Presented to Phoenix Engine 00.,
No, 1, of Norwalk, by Citizens Engine 00.,
No. 2, of Waterbury," It has also an en-
graving of the Phoenix steamer, the Citizen’s
Engine, hydrants, fire alarm bells,&.c., with
the large figures of 1 and 2 backed with
scarlet ribbed silk. It is a very beautiful
Front, and was pronounced by Assistant
Kellogg, an Old hand at presentations, to be
the handsomest and most original of any he
had ever seen. _
Sec. E. A. Pinkney presentec Foreman
Platt, of the Waterbury Company, a hand-
some boquet, an oficring from Mrs. W. A.
Kellogg. This was acknowledged with
three cheers from the Citizens. '
In response to the call from their Fore-
man, thnix gave three-times-thrce, for
the Citizens Company, and then one after
another as called upon made. a few friendly
remarks.
It seems that this special meeting of the
Citizens was called for the express purpose
. of making arrangements for a surprise visit
to the Phoenix Company at their house in
N Orwalk at their regular monthly meeting,
this (Tuesday) evening for the purpose of
presenting this Front 'which hnd‘been in
preparation for several months, but only
finished a few minutes before the arrival
of the Phoenix Company. Our boys hav-
ing accidentally learned of a special meet-
ing being called, but without knowing the
object of it, thought it a good time to take
their picture which had been ready, await-
ing a convenient Opportunity, and make a
surprise presentation of it, in which, with
the assistance of Chief Goodwin; of that
place, they happily succeeded. Chief Good-
win, though, also helped the Cilizens boys
to surprise their visitors, as owing to informa-
tion sent him from here he procured the fin-
ishing up of their Front in time for them to
present it that evening.
After the “ talk” was over at the house,
the visiting company was escorted to the
houses of Phoenix Engine 00., No. 1, and
Monitor Huse Company, shown their appa-
ratus; rooms, die, and were then taken to
Earle’s Hotel where the festivities wound up
with an oyster supper. The next day.
though stormy, was spent by the Phoenix
boys in visiting the different manufactories
and other Objects of interest in and about
Waterbury, concluding with a ride in the
afternoon out to the City Water Works.
The boys-returned in the Thursday night
train highly delighted with their visit.
The Company would return thanks to
Chief-engineer Goodwin, of the Waterbury
Fire Department, who met them at, the cars
and guided them in and about the city, and
who so well kept the secret of their visit,
notwithstanding the attempt made to forc-
stall it from Nomalk, also for the attention
paid them by him through the whole Of
heir visit.
The company are also indebted to Assist-
ant Foreman O’Donnell, of Plitenix 1, of
Waterbury, who so generously devoted
himself to their'entertainment on Thursday.
