J C’ Randle, 200 P P13” 223 0 feet dee at mean 10w water: This will
' require ging to be done from: point
'about500yards above G ory’s Point to
the sto‘nebrid at Norwal, a distance of
about two an three-quarter miles.
The depth at present at mean low water
on the bar before entering the 'river is not
. more than 5 feet, and mean high water
about 12 feet. but“ 1n the improvement it is
desirable to have something more than 5
feet 'at mean low Water in the river, so that
loaded vessels can leave Norwalk before the
time of high tide,drawing all the water on
the bar, and pass over it before it has sensi-
fallen.
b1The tide' 35 about fifteen minutes earlier on
the bar than at Norwalk; At' the period of
high and low water it is practically at a
stand for over an hour, not changing its
level more than two or three inches in all
that time, as can be seen by the tide obser-
vations annexed. Giving the .depth of 0
feet at mean low water, seems ample' 1n this
case to allow for any vessel usi ordinary
dispatch to leave the wharvesan pass the
. bar at the most favorable time, loaded to
the full draught on the bar.
The matenal to be dredged is soft mud,
except for a distance of about 1,000 feet in
the extreme upper part, where it 13 a coarse
gravel. It must be towed‘ to scows an aver-
age distance of We miles, and dumped eu-
tirelv outside of the river. -.
To make the proposed channel 0 feet deep
at mean low water, 100 feet wide at bottom,
with sides sloping 45 °, will require the
dredging and removing of 153,879 cubic
yards, estimated to cost 29 cents per cubic
rd—880', 78580 or allowing for superin-
igndeuce,&c., will reignite, 1311-9313311 num-
era,
The removal of a bed of b0ulders(shown
in map) will be of particular advantage to
persons euga'ged' 1n the oyster trade, as said
bed lies immediately in front of the oyster
wharves. This could be accomplished for
91, 000, and' 1s not included~ in the foregoing
estimate.
The history of Norwalk and its business
on will find given inEnn extract: from
ebb’s Northeastern Gazetteer, which I
have up pended;
The regiou supplied. b the Danbury and
Norwalk Railroa whic has its southern
tertninus at Norwalk, comprises an area of
two hundred and forty square miles. This
railroad,‘ 1 onnection with the New York
andN ew gown Railroad and its feeders,
give Norwalk business facilities that tend to
make it a- prominent and prosperous city.
Within eighteen months the Danbury and
N crwalk Railroad Company have abandon-
ed their old wharf‘ 1n the upper part of the
river and constructed a new one above the
railroad bridge, expending from 8100, 000 to
8150, 000 making the change. This change
was made in consequence of the river be
coming so shoal that vessels irei hted for
them could not land at their wha and un-
10ad without first being lightered.
I append to this reports tide~table, com-
iled from uage- -readiugs taken at the New
Fork and cw Ha'ven' Raildroad bridge,
another compiled from readings taken at
Smith’s wharf, another from readings taken
at Gregory’ 0 Point. I also append a report
of the amount of merchand1se_ received. at
Norwalk and South Norwalk, end 'a list of
the number of vessels owned at and running
too and from Norwalk.. Also a statement
of the class and value of the difi‘ereut manu-
factures of N orwalk compiled by the Hon
W. C. Street. lsVVo, a copy of the resolu-
tion pas'wd b' t enoral assembly of 'Con-
necticut in ay, 7, incorporating the
Harbor Improvement Company. Also, a
statement prepared by the draw-tender of
the draw-bridge of the New York and New
Haven Railroad, giving the number and
class of vessels for which the draw was
opened during the 7year 1870, and also for
three month of 187
In the present condition of the channel
only very light-draught vessels can get to
the upper part of the river, causing a great
annoyance t0 the business interests of the
town. The ease seems to merit the favor-
able consideration of Congress.
The time occupied' 131 making the survey
was three weeks, and it extended along the
river for three miles. 1 was assisted 10 this”
work by Lewis S. Chase, civil engineer.

33' There is some reason to hope that
the enhanced price to: liquor may induce
some drinkers to‘ leave '01! so' ruinous a hab-
it; if so the new law shall prove mere bene-
ficie'ut in' 1n its results than we anticipated.
Afier all the strongest argument is one
which Illppeals to aman’s pocket. Men who
are w to ruin their constitutions are
not always ready ~:topa their last cent for a
drink; so we be e an believe that drink-
will be large y. dimmiuished. No man
0 has a family to support can justify the
expenditure of money necessa to keep up
the habit or drinking liquor. he does it
he wrongs his wife and children by so re-
ducin hismeans that he' 30 unable to pro-
vide t 0111 with those comforts 'and small
luxuries which would promote their happi-
ness and well being. A man with a small
income who will spend money to buy three
or four drinks per da, or even one drink,
and then acrimp his expenses, is a
va mean, or a very selfis, or a very cow-
ard y man. If a man is rich and able to do
for his family all that the need, or like has
nobody dependent upon 'm, and he' 10 fool-
ish enough to poison himself with liquor,
that is a matter for- his own concieuce and
judgment to' decide and one with which
the public has very little to do, so long as
he does not make a nuisance of himself,
but the public is interested and has a right
to hold in contempt that man who“ 15 Week
enough or selfish enough to spend for liquor
the money which ought to go to educate his
children and oro rovide for their wants.’ Sup-
pose a man ts es only one _drink- per diem,
that' 33 $54.75 for the year. Lét that man’ s
wife ask him for fiit dollars to buy better
clothes for their c ildren and he would

Why 1 Centaur Liniment;
Causes the crifile to walk. the lame to leap.
Hearts to thank, instead 0! eyes to weep,—
Ouly Centaur Linime'nt.
What renders reptiles tooth and sting of bees,
Harmless as the bite of fleas,
Excepting Centaur Liuimeut' ,
Assuages the pangs of a broken breast,
Flows the lacteul fluid—gives nights of rest,
But Centaur Linimeut:
And when chilblains sting or hot steam acalds,
What is it soothes, for what can wecall,
VBut Centaur Lluiment.
When the car cmshad 01d Tildeu's arm.
’Twas saved from amputation by this charm.
The Centaur Liniment;
And When Barnum’s lion, Uncle Ben, ‘
Broke his leg in that dismal 11013,
110 roared for Centaur Ltuimeut.
Now as the poor horse, lame and sore,
With crippled knee limps to our door.
And begs for Centaur Linlment;
And the docileeheepnn a thousand. hills. .
Die by the million—the screw worm kills.
