THE NEW YEAR. .
In the common phrase cf the world’s
greeting, but, with - utmost sincerity and
heartiness,wefwish One and all of the old
Gaznr'ru’s patrons—“A happy New Y?“ 1"
Il‘he past year has been one of exceptional
healthfiilness, peacefulness and DIOSPCH‘Y ‘0
the nation,’an‘d as its last hours now wane
before us the manifold blessings of the year
should inspire our gratitude and a reverent
hope for a continuance of God's beneficent
mercies for the new year.’
Locally, the health and steady growth and
prosperity of Norwalk, the past year, are
causes of the sincerest gratification. ' We
doubt if ' any town in our State has made
more rapid and substantial advancement in
- all material prosperity during the past year.
There has been nothing speculative or spas-
modic about the' growth of Norwalk dur-.
ing the twelve months now drawn to a close.
The great and gratifying increase of popula-
tion was made apparent by the vote cast in
"November,'and the multiplication of new
“homes for the people” greet the eye upbn
every street and avenue in our widely ex-
panded town. The reasons for all these
gratifying results "are well understood by
our own people,’and are beginning to be
better. known ,and appreciated by strangers
Norwalk in it’lopdgraphy, its picturesque
and delightful natural, surroundings, is un-
surpassed. Our people are intelligent, public
spirited,'and thrifty, and ready to lend a
helping hand to all enterprises deserving.
aid. The more recent awakening to. the
value of manufacturics, and the rare facil-
ities we possess therefor, with the capital
supplied by our men of means, have given
an underlying basis to our very remarkable
growth in the past, and promise the most
happy results for the future. Our proximi-
‘ ty to New York, the great business center
of the continent, our facilities of land and
water carriage, our three-fold telegraphic
connection with the whole world, our horse
‘ railway,6ur gas‘works, and greater than all,
our public Water Works, are appliances of
modern civilization, of living and of busi-
ness, of an incalculable value to Norwalk.
It is said that “all men have hobbies.
spirit of enterprise. Nothing has ever more
thoroughly delighted us, in the conduct of
this paper, than the unmistakable evidences
we have had from time to time that we have
been instrumental in some slight degree in
promoting the growth and development of
Norwalk. We know that our efforts have
been earnest and unwcaried in this direction,
and never selfishly limited to a locality. A
new_ house, a mill, a work shop, a factory
erected anywhere within the limits of our
town, has been the source of as much un.
alloyed gratification as if it had risen under
the shadow of our office flag. All of Nor-
walk, and the whole of the town, as the field
of our gleaning, has ever enlisted our honest
and earnest desires and efforts atdeyelop-
ments, improvements and prosperity. South
Norwalk, WestNorwalk, Five Mile River,
Dewn Town, Winnipauk, are all beautiful
and growing sections of the older village of
Norwalk, and as such, as essential to its well
being as though within its restricted cor-
porate limits. While earnest rivalries among
rapidly growing sections of the same town
are entirely natural, and oftimes promotive
of good results, this spifit should never be
degraded into a selfish and hostile feeling.
We knew that the GAZETTE has ever done
what it could to cultivate between all sec-
tions ofour town a friendly,cordia1 and help- .
ful spirit. He who encourages a different
feeling wrongs himself and our most vital"
local interests. The preponderfiting feeling
of our best citizens, we know to be all that
it should be in this regard. This fact has
been over and over provcn by their monied
investments and in a thousand other ways.
The future growth of Norwalk, we confi-
dently predict, will be even more rapid than
The forces now at work and
being developed furnish a confident basis of
in the past.
judgment, that ours is to be no insignificant
member of the noted manufacturing and
commercial communities of the western
world. . Ten years, five years, even, are sure
to work a growth, an increase here in Nor-
walk of which most of us little dream. The
past assures us thus much. Only let our
people be equal to their present opportuni-
ties, aud our gratifying past shall only faint-
ly foreshadow our more glorious future. In .
that future the threshhold of which we enter
to—day and can so faintly discern, our hope
alud pledge is, that the old GAZETTE, as in
the past, shall be faithful and steadfast in its
~ efforts and advocacy of the best interests of
all the good people of Norwalk. Again, a
thrice “Happy New Year" to all its patrons.
The-past week was one of innumerable
disasters by sea and land,—fircs,shipwrecks,
railroad accidents, damage by storms, &c.
On Tuesday morning Barnum‘s Hippothca-
‘ tron, in New York, was burned down. and
nearly all of his large menagcrie‘of wild
animals was destroyed. The same night‘
another large fire occurredin Center street
and several girls were burned to death, be-
ing unable to escape from the upper stories.
Other large fires in New York, Boston—all
over the country, were of- daily occurrence,
causing great loss and misery. Trains
were wrecked and people killed! floors in
churches gave way -at,Christmas festivals
and more people were killed and wounded;
shipwrecks occurred and still mere lives
were lost; people were frozen by the intense
cold; roofs were crushed in by the heavy
fall of snow, and still more people were
killed and maimed; churches burned up;
and people were even killed by the bursting
of kitchen ranges. 'Altogether it was terri-
ble week of disaster, such as we hope never
to see again. - '
Many of the destructive fires were caused
by sheer carelessness, and it is a great won-
der that more did not occur for people are
growing criminally careless every day and
neglect necessary precaution. In view of
~tbc' great fires constantly occurring in this
country, it behooves every person in charge»
of anything that will burn to see that its
surroundings are safe, and that all stoves,
fusnaccs, ranges. &c.‘, are provided with all
necessary safeguards ; that matches are
. kept in metal boxes, and never left scattered
about the house; and__if such a thing can
, be accomplished, a stop should be made to
the evil practice of incessant smoking of
pipes and segars by every male biped in the
land at all hours of the day and night and
in all manner of ' dangerous places, and their
careless handling of ignited stumps and
pipes. -
The present Board of Borough officers will
lcave one nionuinent'at least which should
forever bless their memory. 'We refer to
the watering tank for Horses in front of the
M. E. Church, during the past few terribly
cold days, it has been about the only place
where our dumb animals could get “a drop
to drink.” We noticed twoand three teams
using the tank at the same time in repeated
, instances. All praise to those who are thus
thoughtfulfor the comfort and health of our
mutc servants. We hbpe to see two or
-'three similar ones erected in other parts of
the Borough the coming year. ‘

The two écctions of the town are so indisso-'

deemed a public misfortune. And when we
remember the many years this public con-
venience has been furnished the people of.
Norwalk, and run at a large loss to its gcn~

will not be diminished at the extra exertions

- There is probably not another town in Con-

'as Norwalk, where the cost of medical at-

fact argues first that we have an unusually

The present cold-snap has been ‘sevcrer
and of longer duration than any we have
bad in years. The snow storm of Thurs-
day last brought vivid memories of great
storms in years past. With the thermome-

cessantly from before daylight until late in
evening, and was blown about by a strong
wind. The snow drifted considerably,.but
the average depth was probably about
eighteen inches. The weather has nut since.

there is a grand chance for a January thaw
to show its power. The large body of snow
ofcourse impeded travel of all kinds. On

in an appearance, coming down nearly on
time with two locomotives. The first train
from New .York did not arrive until one

of ladig and gentlemen, in addition to the

did not arrive, and Dr. Asa Hill was called
upon and responded in a happy speech de-
scribing some of the beauties of the order.

TheTSunday SchoolFestival atthe First
Congregational church, Christmas night,
was one or the most elaborate and complete
entertainments of thekind we have ever at-
tended. It. was held in the audiedce room of
the church, which was well filled by the
children and spectators, among whom we
were pleased’to see many from other denom-
ination; In front of the pulpit an exquisite-
ly beautiful arch_ of majestic proportions,
had been erected, composed of evergreens
and flowers, surmounted by: a golden sta'r,
cross and crown, and bearingthe inscription
“Jesus the Bright and Morning Star," with
some fourteen divine and human names of
Christ inter'Woven in the evergreens com-
posing the side columns. The arch was il-
luminated with twenty gas jets, presenting
a beautiful appearance. On , the face of the
pulpit was inscribed, “God Bless our Sun-
day School," and on the sides of the galleries,
in evergreep letIers, “I bring glad tidings,"
“Peace, good will to men." The arch was
piles of oranges, candies, etc., for the.
children;
The exercises commenced with a volun-
tary on the organ by Mr. Gibson—St. Ceci-
lia, ofifertoirc No. 2, Batiste, followed by an
Anthem by the choir.
Prayer was then offered by Rev-O. W,
Gates, of the Baptist church, after which a
h Inn was sung by the school. Dr. Asa
ill of the Second Methodist church made
a pleasing ten-minute address, which was
followed by another hymn by the school.
Sonic minutes were then occupiedtwith res-
ponsive readings, and the first part closed
with a Christmas anthem by choir and
school. ,
Part Second opened with the Sicilian
Hymn, varied, by F. Lux,,o,n the organ. A
brief address, cheerful and appropriate was‘
made by a friend of the Superintendent,
whose name we did not learn, followed by
a hymn, and responsive reading with sing-
ing by choir and children.
The clear, sweet voice of Mrs. Wilson was
then heard in a solo, the children joining in
the chorus and Mr. Gibson accompanying
on the piano. At the close of Part 2,prizes
were distributed by the Superintendent.
The first series to thirty scholars who had
attended forty-nine Sabbaths in the year,
and the second to twenty-seven who had at-
tend fcrty-four Sabbaths.
The last part opened with Elevation by
Batiste, on the organ, followed by an anthem
by choir and school,an'1 responsive readings,
closing with a Christmas Carol and distribu-
tion of presents.
The festival of the 2nd M. E. Church was
held on Chrisimas Eve, in the audience
room of .thc church, and was a delightful
affair. Short addresses were made by Rev
Mr. Pegg, Re'v. S. B. S. Bissell and others,
and there was plenty of good singing by the
children under direction of Prof. Dunning.
Oranges, candies, cake, etc., were served to
the children in abundance, in paper bags.
The ‘ snow storm of last Thursday was
rather too much for our Episcopal friends,
and they were compelled to postpone their
festival to a more propitious season,much to
the disappointment of. the dear childrep. Iti
was held yesterday afternoon,however, and
as the day was clear and comparatively
mild, we presume they had a largelattcnd-
ance and enjoyablezentertainment. '

Magazines Etc.
GODEY for January, is a superb number,
indeed it may be-more truly denominated a
volume of choicest literary matter and ex-
quisite artistic decoration. No magazine in
the whole range of literature, has so long
and so well sustained its merited reputation,
being of the finest and best of its kind pub-
lished anywhere on the globe! Now is the
time to subscribe, and no “ happier" New,
Year’s present could be donated any lady
friend than a year’s subscription to Godey.
The Atlantic Monthly for January com-
mences a new volume. without any appar-
ent change in form or general character,
and no efi‘ort has apparently been made to
make the opening number unusually an bril-
liant one. The new features are “A Chap-
ter of Autobiography" by Robert Dale
Owen, to run through the year; “A Chance
Acquaintance,” a new serial by W. D
Howells, which reads like the continuation
of “Our Wedding J ourncy” but promises to
be a journey of courtship from charming
old Quebec to and up the Sagnenay, ending
with awcdding, probably, and settlement
at Boston." James Parton continues his
Life of Jefferson, givinglin this number
“The Cabinet of President Washington,”
and Mrs. Agassiz continues her papers on
the straits of Magellan; Caroline Chose-
bro’ has a story,-“Barbara’s Duty,” and
Mrs. R. H. Davis contributes “A Faded
Leaf of History.” H. James Jr., writes of
“The Bethnal Green Museum" and J. E.
Babson of. one of Waring’s Rippowam
“Kitchen Common-Sense Stoves." Of
course the number would be incomplete.
without allusion to the Boston fire, and Dr.
Holmes has a poem “Aflcr the Fire,” while
somebody else is prosaic “Among the
Ruins." The poems are: “An Untimely
Thought” by Aldrich; “Sylvia,” by Lucy
L'Larcom; “One Day Solitary," by Trow-
bridge ; “The Voice in the Pines,” by Paul
H. Haync ; “Song,” by Celia Thaxter ; “A
Wish,” by Marshal Oliver. The editorial
department embraces articles on Recent
Literature, Art, Music, Science, and Poli-
/ tics. .
The Aldmc commences the New Year in
the same general form and style which
proved so popular last year. The two
premium Chromos, ‘SThe Village Belle"
and “Crossing the Moor" are promptly de-
livered to all subscribers, with the January
number, an arrangement that must prove
satisfactory to all. The January number of
the Magazine has a tinted frontispicce by
John S. Davis called .“After the Frolic ;"
two full page engravings, “Chapel Rocks;
Lake Superior, by Thos. Moran, and“The'
Critics" by Peter Moran, are given together
with ten other fine pictures. The literary.
departmentcoutinues under the care of R.

Our Young Folks for January is on our
table and fully maintains its absorbing in-
terest with the “little people" while those
‘of a larger growth find ample temptation for
a perusal of its well .storcd columns. This
has become the leading periodical for chil-
dren, and well deserves the attention of
parents selecting reading matter for the
coming year. Certain we are, no one who
sends .on a subscription will ever regret the

- Entertainments.
Public. entertainments have often been
.n'tore numerous than the present season, but.
seldom havewe bad so many of such high
order. In the lecture line we had last night
'the Rev Dr. Chapiu who formerly, (as ,be
said) lectured for FAME—fifty and my ex-
penses, but who is now far above that
figure. Thursday night we have Mrs. Liver-
more, and Edmund Yates on the 10th .of
January. New Year’s night we are to be
favored with two entertainments by the
famed Caroline Bichings Concert and Opera
trou c, at the Opera House. The pro-
gra ukembraces miscellaneous selections,
one act of “Martha," incostume. and the
Fourth act of Verdi’s “Ii Trovatorc," also
in costume, introducing the following Mor-
ceaux:-'- .

The'admission, on this occasion,bas been
placed very low—at the same price of ordi
nary theatrical performances, fifty and
seventy-five cents. It is but seldom that we
are favored with entertainments of this
character, and we trust our citizens will
show their appreciation by a large attend-
ance. Secure seats at once.
Mrs. Livermore’s lecture is to be delivered
at the Opera House next Thursday Evening.
Her reputation as a speaker is_ first-class,
and she deserves rowded house. .Go and
hear what a woma can do. .
Next Tuesday evening. at the Opera
House,we are to have another grand enter-
tainment,—a Concert by thenoted Theodore
Thomas Orchestra, undoubtedly the largest
and best concert troupe "ever organized for
travel. 'It is of such monster proportions,
and so expensive, that .thc manager cannot
afford to stop in' small cities, but in filling
up‘their route they stop here one night by
way of experiment and to close a gap to
show the magnitude of the Orchestra. we
copy' the list of instruments, as following :-
sixteen violins, five vtolas, four violoncellos,
four double basses, one harp, one piccolo,
two flute ,' two obocs, one corno anglais, two
clarioncttes,two bassoons,four French horns,
two trumpets, three trombones, one tuba,
kettle drums, side drum, base drum, &c.
The follovu'ig soloists have been engaged in
Europe expressly for these Concerts :—Mr-.
S.‘ E. Jacobsohn, Solo Violinist; Mr. Adol-
phus Lockwood, Solo performer on the harp.
Among the- other-distinguished soloists of
the troupe ar'e :—-Mr. Charles ,Hcmmann,
Violoncello; Mr. Eugene Weiner, Flute ; Mr
Joseph Eller, Oboc;'Mi-. Henry Schmitz,
French Horn; Mr. Louis Schreiber, Cornet-
a-Piston; Mr. Charles Cappa, Trombone,
all of whom are well known masters of their
respective instruments-
_ , A new feature of these concerts is the ve-
cal element. Mr. Geo. L. 0sgood,an Amer.
ican by birth, but trained. in Europe, will
sing songs and ballads. , .
The reputation of the Thomas orchestra
is unequaled, and the concerts are attended
by crowds of music-lovers wherever they
appear. The Tribune of yesterday, had 'a
long criticism of a recent concert in' New
York, which was Wonderfully enthusiastic
for that journal. The sale of seats com-
mences on Thursday, and we predict one of
the best audiences ever assembled at any
similar entertainment in Norwalk.
, Last Tuesday evening the Wallace Sisters
' gave an excellent burlesque entertainment
at the Opera House, to a fair audience. If
they "ever come 'here , again' they will do
much better. '
On Christmas night the New York Parlor
Opera Company appeared in “Maritana‘,” at
'the Opera House. Owing to the severity of
the weather, church festivals, &.c., they did
not have as large an audiepce as the merits
of the entertainment entitled them to. ' The
prime. donna met with amistortune in losing
her trunk, and was compelled to. appear in
trave ' g dress while the other singers were
in full stume. ’The singers were of high
order, and the performers received frequent
encores. We hope they will try Norwalk
again ingome‘ milder season.

The First National Bank of South Nor-
walk, D. P. Ely, president, and J. J. Millard,
cashier, have .just completed one . of the
finest banking houses in‘ Fairfield County.
It has cost-$27,000 up to this time, and when
entirely finished in its fitting up, will no
was dune by Geo. Raymond, and the wood
work by. Knapp d. Fitch. The mantcls,
which are very beautiful, are from the
Bridgeport ‘ Slate Mantel Co.- The chande-
liers and gas fixtures, very rich and beauti-
ful in design, are put in by M. M. Norton, the
heater by. ,E. K. Lockwood, and the whole
affair of the structure and the filling up,
under the general supervision of Col. P. L.
Cunningham, chairman of the building Com-
mittee. The desks, counters,doors and par-
titions are of solid blackwalnut, heavily
moulded and veneered, and are the richest
and most elaborate in design of any we have
ever seen in Connecticut. This work was
’also done by those enterprising builders,
Knapp &. Fitch, and reflect great credit upon
their skillfuLtvorkmanship. The President’s
desk and the Directors’ tablc,with the chairs
and sofa in the Director's room. are also of
heavy black walnut. The sofa, which is
also arranged for a bed, costing $147. A
burglar alarm is adjusted so as to ringa
gong over the bank so as to alarm the whole
town, and also rings a bell in two private
door or windows.- No one can approach
the vault without causing a similar tele-
graphic alarm. , Probably no bank in the
country’is more secure ,trom the raids of
'burglars. The vault is iron lined, with two
Valentinerk‘ Butler’s locks thereon, and no
one person can open the-vault the Cashier
having a key to one door, and the President
’or.:T'eller the other.” Within the vault thus
secured, 'are two massive Valentine &.
Butler's Burglar Proof Safes, each with
double doors, and each looked upon a differ-
'ent combination, requiring two persons to
open. It does not seem that human ingenu-
ity oculd devise more security against
thieves. The bank is now in the process of
moving, and will formally “open” at its new
and palatial place of business on Thursday,
the 2d proximo. . ‘

A Sunday School Blockaded.
All the enterprise and push ofthe little-
East Avenue school did nct suffice to get
them through the snow drifts of last week
in the intense cold, and their entertainm
which was to have taken place on Friday
evening had to be postponed. We are
pleased to say to the friends of the school,
however, thatthc piles of snow‘have not in
the least chilled the ardor of the little ones,
who are working hard for their library, and
thpughalittle late in the season will sing
their Christmascarols next Friday evening
at Lockwood’s Hall. Their perseverance
and the pleas'ure their programme promises
to give, certainly merits the kind consider-
ation of the community. We gave last week
a description of the temperance piece which
is to be the chief feature of the evening;
As this is original with the school, we may
say, judging from the Santa Claus surprise,
that it will give pleasure to all who may at.
tend; And as a piece of advice we would
say: Commence the new year by_ being
generous and give the children a library. ‘

Mussntt. EDITons :—Our Borough anthort
ities have issued stringent orders to the peo-
ple in regard to clearing the sidewalks of
snow and ice, which are all well and
proper, and if reasonably enforced would
prove generally beneficial and satisfactory.
But after, 'or rather before, the sidewalks are
cleared whose duty is it to clear off the coss-~
walks? After the late severe storm the peo-
ple generally cleared the walks, excepting
in some places near the Bridge in front of
stores, but, so far as your correspondent
could see, no attempt whatever was made
by the authorities to clear the crossings.
At every street crossing ladies were com-
pelled to plunge into snow about two feet
deep in order to reach the next walk. Now
for the borough to force people to construct
walks, force them to keep off the snow and
ice, and then for the Borough ofiicials to
'neglect the Borough walks seems ,too bad.
The authorities must expect the people to
follow their example. TAx PATER.
Mussns. EDI'rons.—In a previous article
something was said regarding the quality of
water in the supply to towns and cities;
also with regard to the water introduced
and held in general favor by many,if not
all, the consumers. At present we propose
to say a few words regarding some of the
very many methods of supply, conduits or
supply mains, «to. '
The system, adopted by our Water Com-
missioners for water} supply, is what is gen-
erally termed the“gravitation system,”which
is the only plan used of late years when it is
atall practicable. 'The use of-pumps,&c.,. is
resorted to only when a supply of water can-
not be obtained by‘gravitation.‘ Of course
there are many cases when it would be im-
possible to obtain a supply without their
use. For instance, the city of New Orleans,
where no appreciable rise from the level of
the. sea could be obtained inside of 75 or 100
miles, and then they probably could not get
more than 40 to any feet head, in such a
case, of course, pumping machinery of some
beam engines, getting theig supply from the
Mississippi, pumping into small reservoirs,
and distributing through the city at a very
low head. _ _
The cities of Philadelphia and Richmond
in the United States, and of Toulouse in
France, are among the most remarkable
'all undershot. Of these the wheels at the
Fail-mount Water Works, Philadelphia, are
the most remarkable-on account of the vol~
ume of water they were designed to lift.
This was not less than 10,000,000 gallons
per day, with a dead lift of 92 feet, and dis-
charging the water through cast iron mains
16 inches in diameter. The works were
originally executed in 1822, and up to with-
in a recent period, it would appear from
their official reports, that the old part of the
works was capable of performing a working
average of not less than 8,370,229 gallons
delivered iu‘to the reservoirs. There were
eight breast wheels 15 and 18 feet in diame-
with 15 feet length of bucket, giving motion
to nine double action pumps, having cylin-
ders 16 inches in diameter and a length of
stroke of 5 feet. They have lately put in
one or more of Jouval's Turbine Wheels,
and have generally increased their water
supply,'but we have no reliable data as to
their complete efficiency now. The fall of
water is 7% feet, and the wheels make 13
revolutions per minute.
Our supply in the distributing reservoir is
obtained from a 12 inch main,under 100
feet head,-equa1 to a pressure of 40,328 per
square inch. The main is said to be about
6% miles in length, with a mean gradient of
15 feet per mile, which according to Du
11,353,312 gallons per day. _We take this fer-
mula 'on account of its low estimate, the
amount given by it being lower considera-
bly than the actual practice, as the reports
of our Water Commissioners give an in-
crease on the above' by over 200,000 gallons,
on account. of ltd simplicity, and its low
estimate, it has been used-in some of our
largest water works. 'It is expressed thus:
(The printer has no algebraic signs, and is
therefore unable to express the formula as
in copy, but it may be expressed inthe fol-
lowrng rule :—2356 plus 50 D multiplied by
the square root of the fifth power of the
diameter, divided bythe square root of the
sum of the length (L), divided by the height
(H), all to be taken in feet.) This formula
is exceedingly simple, and easily applied to
all calculationson the main of the Norwalk
Water Works.
head of population, including all’uses, as for
manufactories, fires, &c., in 24 hours, is esti-
mated by an eminent Philadelphia engineer
as follows : January. 2.58 ; .Febrt’iary,‘ 2.40;
March, 2.64; April, 2.73; May, 3,37; June,
3.50‘; July, 4.58; August, 4.75; September,
4.61; October, 4.46; November, 4.12; De-
cember, 3.61, giving a mean of 3.6 cubic feet,
or 26.64 gallons, assuming the above to be
an expression of the general American
practice. The main to the Norwalk Water
Works is capable of supplying a population
or 55,000.
The consumption' of water in a town
varies greatly on account of the differences
* ofhabits and of occupations amongst its in-
habitants, and also upon what may be styled
the public taste with respect to the applica-
.tion ofwatcr. It is more than questionable
per‘ individual per day, that is to say for
mere personal services, and this quantity
may be increased to ten gallons per head, to
allow for washing and other household pur-
poses, aud if some Of our families will esti-
mate the amount they draw from wells and
will find they get along even with a less
amount than ten gallons per head for all
purposes. '
It would be out of place‘bcre to discuss
who are the proper parties" or what is the
proper method pf‘supplyinga town with
water, but it may be sufficient for our pur-.
pose to state that when the supply remains
in the hands‘of companies it is possible
even under the co‘nstant'delivery system to
keep the consumption of water within the
limits of20‘ gallons per head per day, whilst
in, nearly all cases when the supply is in the
hands of'municipal bodies the rate of con-
sumption has attended the higher limits of
40 gallons per head. Indeed, at the present
day it is hardly safe to calculate on a lower
rate. It has become a matter of almost
national importance to check the almost
profligate waste of water which seems to be
gaining ground on all sides, for we see in the
city of New York, for instance, the enlarg-
ing of her mains, reservoirs, &c.,not.so much
on account of the increase of her populn-
tion as it. is owing to the nbovc'reasons. In
one of the daily papers lately, it was esti-
mated that the consumption of water had
reached the almost incredible amount of 80
gallons per head per day. R.

the “Santa Claus surprise” a piece which
well illustrated the originality of this little
