REVOLUTIONARY .SCENES.

BY T. It. WHITNEY.
INCIDENTS OF THE BURNING 0F
NORWALK.
“I. remember your- great ‘granfer’ very
well,” said my friend the old Corporal, one
evening, “his name was David—David
Whitney, and he owned andCOmmanded
,a sloop that performed great service for the
Continental Government, in carrying dis-
patches and supplies under the very guns
_of the British ships. They suspected him,
too, and tried fifty different . ways to catch
.him adoing something for the Government,
but he always. managed to elude them. I
recollect one time when the Cap’nhad some
dispatches or papers, or something to take
--tO New York. He started, and got as far
down as Sheflield‘s Island, and got becalm-
ed there, so he dropped anchor just at night‘
to wait for a breeze. There were two
British ships lying at anchor about three
miles off, outside the island, but they saw
his manoeuvre with their spy-glxISses, and
determined to catch him, for they knew his
sloOp as well as they did their own colors.
Well, just after daylight next morning,
the Cap’n was roused out of his berth by,
the mate, who told him that two boats were
comingtowards thenfiom theBritish ships,
He'du'mped up, and saw them coming about
a mile ofi. It was too late to escape, so he
jumped into a barrel that was lying on deck,
and told the men to head him up in it, and
tell‘ the British that he was up home. He
had allithe papers in his pocket, but the
men didn‘t know apything about that, and
theyheaded him up as directed, and waited
for the boats. Presently they came, with
about thirty sailors and marines, all armed,
under the command of a lieutenant. They
boarded the sloop,.and with oaths demand-
ed .lhe .Cap’n, swearing that if they could
catch him they would shoot him on the
spot. But the men, true to instructions,
made strange of the whole matter; they
said the Cap’n warn’t aboard, and told
them they might search the sloop if they
. chose. And they did search. Everything
was turned topsy-turvey, looking for the
Cap’n and the papers or something that
would betray what the sloop was doing—-
even the old barrel in which he was headed
up waé rolled and kicked about the deck,
but nobody pretended to notice it, and, at
last, after searching every hole and corner
of the vessel, and throwing everything into
confusion, without finding anything that
theylo'oke‘dfor, they went ofi‘again, swearin'
they’d catchhim yet.. The cap’n heard all
they said, and he’s told me many .a time
that he felt mighty streaked till he heard
’em shove ofi‘again. When they were fairly
away, the men knocked out the head of the
barrel, and let him out again, and, soon
after with a spanking breeze from the north,
he put up sails and started, well knowing
that he could outmn any boats they might
send after him. ’
Your “great granfer” lived 'on Fort Point,
about a mile below the bridge, and you may
be sure that when that rascal Tryon burnt
the town, his_housc did not escape. You
can see the Stone work of the old cellar,
where the house stood down there now;
it’s on thepointjust off against Old Well.‘
Some-time‘aner that his son Ebenezer, your
own “greater," bought a place up in the
huckleberrv hills, and the old man, who
was nigh about sixty years old, went and
lived with him. Ebenezer served as 3
Lieutenant in one of the continental compa-
files.
When the British came to destroy the
town the old man run a good deal of risk,
and did a good deal of good. It was some-
time ill July, 1779. They came over from
Huntington on Long Island side, two thou-
sand strong, or more. justto burn up a
helpless harmless village, that hadn’t more
than two hundred men in it, except the
tories—drat the rascals! They did all the
mischief byshowing the enemy the way.
Well, the British came up the harbor to
Gregory’s Point, or Fitch’s Point, I forget
which, and there they landed just after dark.
Thepeople saw them. coming before dark,
and they knew pretty well that there town
was going to share the same fate as Fair-
field and Danburyhad a short- time, before, '
and everything was in consternation. The
people ran hither- and thither—got up their
teams andfilled their carts and wagons
with- furniture, and put the children on the
loads, while the women and men went on
foot, all carrying what they could in their
hands and on their backs, to save them
from the threatened coufiagration. All
that long and tedious night the wretched
people toiled without sleep or rest, hurrying
to save their. little movable. property, and
leaving their houses aprey to the ruthless
destroyer; right glad indeed were they to
escape with their lives and what little they
could carry with them. _
When the British landed, old Capt.
Whitney, was at home, and his sloop lay
anchored in the creek; and thinking they
would all march up the road about half a
mile from his house. on the east side, where
they had landed; he .sent word to all the
neighbors near by, and told them to bring.
their families, and furniture down to his
sloop, and he would take them all‘safe out
of the harbor, as soon as the British left the
Point. So, sure snorigh, down they came
- five or six families, with ox-‘carts loaded
down with furniture, and the captain and
all (in Jan; were hard at work all night
loading the slobp: He was so busy, I've
heard tell, helping others that he did’t get
half his own things aboard, or out of ti
house; and, it was some time-after daylight
whenthey all got through ; and than he had
unqugh to’do watching his chance to get
out with his sloop, without attending to any-
thing else—fcr the British had already start-
ed on their way to the village.
Everything promised fair for his escape
There was a nice: breeze' blowing right
down the creek, and they could distinctiy
gee the troops, from the Point, as they
marched away towards the road, yet he did
not venture to hoist his sails for fear of
every man, woman and child to go below,
among the furniture, except his cook,
(who was a negro) and told ’em to keep out
of sight and'be silent till hecalled ’em. As
many as could went into the cabin, and the
rest got in the hold,'over which he placed
the hatches ;,then be lit his pipe, and set the
negro to cleaning the deck, so as to appear
Correspondence of the Gazette.
OCEAN QUEEN,
OEEIIATTERAS, April 21,1873. 3‘
DEAR GAZETTE—Are you surprised that
a landsman should begin his notes at this
point? True, the steamer rolls consider-
ably and the waves are high, for just now
as though he had no intention of sailing fo
a week. ,
These arrangements were scarcely made
before the first boats of the British had got
up to near where the sloop was lying, but
as he had expected, instead of coming to the
Point, they ro'wed to Old Well, on the other
side of the creek, and as he lay there so
quietly they hardly noticed him or his craft,
though they were net more than a hundred
yards from him. Up they came, boat after
boat, till he counted about three hundred
red coats, all of whom landed at Old Well.
Now and then some On ’em would call out
to him, and call him‘a d--—d- Yankee, or
something like that, but he pretended not
to notice ’em, and finally they were all
landed and-began their march to meet ~the
about a dozen soldiers to guard the boats.
This was an hour of terrible suspense to
‘the captain, for besides the fear of being
taken,thc tide was falling, and his sloop
was almost aground then. '
When those who had gone were fairly on
the road and out of sight, he spoke to the
mate who wns in the cabin, and told him to
bring up his flag. Besides the mate and the
negro cook, he had but one hand aboard,'so
he called him on deck, and as'cverything
-had been made ready-beforehand, up went
"his mainsail and jib in a jifl'y. The guard
hailed him from the other side, demanding
'why he hoisted sail. He told them as the
sun was up he wanted to dry them. They
ordered him to haul them down, but he said
he couldn’t spare time just then, and as he
said this, he stepped on the quarter deck
and went ‘to the tiller, telling the hands to
“up anchor." It didn't take three minutes.
to get the anchor‘out of the mud, but while
they were doing it the guard swore they’d
shoot him if he attempted to go out. He
said he hoped they wouldn't, but kept on
getting ready, and as soon as his vessel was
afioat,he run up the American flag, filled
away towards them, as he had to do to get
in the channel, rind as he ,swept by them
within fifty yards, he gave three cheers for
George WashingtOn and the Continental
' Congress. while their bullets were whistling
through his sails. Some of them, on finding
that he was determined to go out,’ jumped
into one of the boats to board him, but they
were to late; he was fairly under weigh and
went down the creek and out of the harbor
with the flag of his country flyingat the
mast head. - 4.
Poor fellow, with all his bravery he went
out of the harbor that time with a sad heart.
As soon as he got beyond the reach of dan-
ger, he called his neighbors up from their
confinementin the cabin and hold of the
sloop, and they reached the deck just in
time to see the first smoke of the incen-
diary curling up from the la‘te dwelling of
their benefactor. The Infamous Britons,
exasperated at his triumphant escape from
their clutches, had vented their anger by
setting his house on fire, and the fugitive
company on'board the sloop looked on as
the increasing volumes of smoke rolled like
an incense of wrath upward to the heavens,
and the shooting flames were seen consum-
ing the humble tenement, with all that it
contained.‘ But this was only the begin-
ning ofa sad chapter of deviltries. Before
that ‘little sloop with its distressed cargo
had passed out beyond the island, the
people on board saw by the vast columns
of dense smoke in the direction of N orwalk,
that their beautiful village, made dear to
them by the assocralions of their whole life-
time, had been ofiere'd up as a sacrifice to
the demon of savage and unnatural war.
So indeed it proved. Their own houses,
together with those of their neighbors, had
been burnt up in an hour, and a happy,
harmless and contented people, made house-
less 'and homeless, were left to wander
amid the forests of their native bills, or be-
come dependent upon-,the charity of their
less afflicted-countrymen. Old Capt. Whit-
ney arrived safely at Stamford with those
of his neighbors whom he had rescued, and
lived many years after to be spoken of with
gratitude and afi'ectiOn. ,

Safety of Ocean Travel.
Those who are intending to visit Europe
this year, but have hesitated on account of
the fear that they may share the fate of the
passengers on the ill-fated Atlantic, ought
to be grateful to the New York Times for
the very full statistics of the comparative
safety of ocean travel. The Cunard line in
its thirty-three years of its existence has
carried nearly or quite a million passengers
since 1866, and has lost only six of them—
they havingbeen drowned by jumping over-
board after a collision. The Anchor line
has lost 250 lives, by .the less of three steam-
ers, out of a total of‘150,770 passengers, car-
ried since 1865 when the line was establish:
ed. The National line has carried 271,000
passengers since 1866, and has lost no lives
or vessels. The Havre line, which was es-
tibushed in 1864, has carried 123,000 pas-
sengers, and has lost no lives or vessels.
The Inman line lost 177 lives on the City of
Boston, but has not suffered by any other
disaster; the line began running in 1864, and
has carried 787,000 passengers. The Ham-
burg line has had- no casualties involving
loss of life, and has carried safely 181,760
passengers since 1855. The North German
Lloyd line has carried 482,000 passengers
since 1858-, and has lost none. The Baltic
Lloyds line has lost none out of the 12,445
passengers carried since 1871. The White
Star line has carried 61,900 paRSengers .in
two years, and has lost 546 in the terrible‘
wreck of the Atlantic. These figures united
show that of more than 3,320,000 passengers
carried between Europe and New York by
existing steamship lines only 979 have lost
their lives by collision, shipwreck or foun-
every 3,400. This a proportion much larger
than is the average loss of life from railway
accidents, but .is not So large as many have
probably sapposed. To put the chances in
another way, these steamships have made
between five and six thousand round trips,
and only six accidents have happened in-
volving loss of life.
Those who lament lost friends or rela-
tives need never despair Thirty-five years

being discovered, nntil‘he was sure they had
all gone. Long before sunrise the main
body of the British troops had left the place
where they landed, and were on their way
iii the village; but still agreat many, as it
appeared to them, remained on the beach,
and to attempt to run past them down the
creek would be madness,.for they had a
great number of boats, and being armed
they would surely capture the sloop if it
should attempt to go out, But the captain

Shall I goback and tell you of our dcpar:
lure? Eleven o’clock of Saturday, April
19th, found us pushing our way through the
crowds and dodging the flying trunks' and
boxes on the dock of the' Ocean Queen, at
pier 42, North River, then climbing the
steps leading to our floating home. The
scenes on board were justwhat are usual on
the departure of an ocean steamer. The
confusiOn, the first glance into strange faces,
the farewells, the final separations are inci-
dents.that need no description. Once afloat
all is changed; and as if to heighten the ef-
fect, the day of our departure proved to be
one'ofII. K. White’s “pevish” April days-
At noon the skywas bright and the sun
clear above us; at one,.p. m.,a passing cloud
was yielding a plentiful shower, and thus it
was until toward evening, alternating, al-
most commingling, sunshine and rain.
Sight and shadow swept in quick succession
out from the shores and across the waters
of the bay.
As the shades of evening drew on the pi-
lot left us, bearing the last messages to
friends, and reminding us that the Ocean
Queen would be our world for nine or ten
days. A lad. ten or twelve years old, who
had stolen on board, was sent back with the
pilot. Poor fellow, his trip to the Pacific
coast is probably indefinitely postponed.
SABBATH ON THE OCEAN QUEEN.
The Lord’s day dawued upon us with
cloudless skies and a cool'northern breeze.
All day the ocean was calm as a river.
Standing upon deck at sun-rise, elevated in
soul by .thc influence of the scene around
me, and reflecting how different this Sab-
bath will be from former ones, that s-vaet
hymn, “ When .theWorn Spirit Wants Re-
pose,” came up fresh to mind, and with de-
vout heart I made its closing plea my hon:
est petition :
“Breathe, Holy Spirit, source of peace,
A Sabbath o’er my soul."
A card from some articles brought to our
room, before our arrival, and picked up this
morning by the Writer,.led to the inquiry,
“ Are you not a. minister?” Further exam-

ORANGE, N. J ., May 17th 1873.
DEAR GAzETTE: '
Real estate is not lively in Orange for the
present season. So many streets are being
macadamized and so many changes are
being made in the grades, that people are
chary of buying and building, [not knowing
whether they will find themselves left “high
and dry” or “buried up to their eyes.” The
slaughter among the venerable trees that
have stood‘along our highways and stretch-
ed their arms out in blessing over two or
three generations, has been ruthless and
deplorable. Straight, smooth level streets
without a hillock or an angle, possess ‘a
mathematical propriety that commands
our cold admiration, but give me the old
fashion roads, with their ups and downs,
their high grassy banks and low stone
there old chestnuts and hickories under
which nestl _ 11 white rocks to crack the
burs and nuts Ah met these. precise city
roadsand square-built walls, these grass?
less walks, and birdiesstrees, will takC the
heart all out of us yet.
Thus you see, though there is great move-
ment in ground, building lots are standing
still. When the ground becomes settled,
particularly when the assessments on it are
settled,then look out for settlers! A let
has just changed hands near me,'100 it. by
400 ft. abouta thousand feet from the main
street for $6,500. Consideringthat it fronts

desirable, the buyer has a good bargain. ' A

is.
Orange is frantic on the subject of French
ofs and bay windows two stories high.
The houses fairly, porter com and Day at
each other. Blessed be the brave builder
who will relieve our eyes of concave slate
and pander windows and introduce a little-
architectural variety. The colors for the
season are modest and pleasing. The grey
and pearl, trimmed with. chocolate, have
disappeared and sage predominates without
borderings. Red sashes‘and dark blinds
relieve the monotone. Flower beds on the
lawns are cut in various fantastic shapes, as
stars, crescents trunk and branches,—sca
shells, &c.—The season is so late, lawn
mowers have but just begun to click, and a
scanty cropdo they get. The trees yet wear
the tiniest green scarcely obscuring the sky
behind them. Cherry trees show. blossoms
this week for the first, but after all do not
late blossoms argue a fruitful, year. The
northeasters and frosts are behind us and I
am saguine enough to predict an abundant
harvestbefore us. '
I have already mentioned in my letter a
steam road roller weighing 18 tons and a .
draught engine. for moving heavy loads ,
along'thc highways. both of which have
been imported from England by our enter-
prising paving companies within a your or
too. I have now to record a new applica-
tion of the Baxter Steam Engine in the
shape ofa street car locomotive. It is to
be used in Remington’s steam street cars
which have been successfully tested in New
York city and other places, but never before
with at Baxter engine. They are to run
from South Orange to Newark. Berg will
gladly welcome Baxter as co-adjutor in
preventing cruelty to the noblest of all
beasts. The town authorities of South
Orange first granted permission to . the
Horse R. B. Company to introduce the new
locomotives, but some opposition manifest-
ing itself among the people, they, concluded
to submit it to a public meeting. The
whole‘subject of steam on the public high-
‘Ways was canvassed thoroughly, and after
e to '
lengthy uk-«~oiqn.a vote was passed ap-
provmg the action or m- 1....“ nicer“
The idea once so prevalent, that steagi street
cars would be dangerous, especially in
frightening horses is rapidly giving placate
more sensible views on the subject. South
Orange has‘ the honor of being first to in-
augurate the movement.
Our railroads are now accommodating the
people not only with excursion tickets to
New York, good any timevtill used, but
with packages of ten tickets at ten per cent.
ofl‘ of the excursion rates, and with month-
ly tickets at a discount of twenty-five per
cent. This reduces the passage between
Orange and New York to twenty cents
Which does seem about “down to hard pan.”
When will the N. Y. & N. H. Company
learn wisdom. The long talked of con '-
dation of our D. L. 85M. Railroad with t e
N. J. Central has fallen through at last after
a yearof boyish higglingover dividends and'
offices. Suits and counter suits had arisen
and the stocks had depreciated not a little.
Now both companies have agreed to un-
marry again. suits are‘ dropped and. each
. party pays its own costs. _ Up go the stocks.
Sam Sloam and Tom Scott each have an
are happy. Not so we people, who were
promised a more direCt line andabetter
ferry to the city, escape from that horrible
Bergen tunnel, and lots of other pleasant
things. But wait till our Parallel-.gets to
running. .
Orange has not‘lacked in first class enter-
tainments the past season, besides the re-
gular course of lectures of the Y. M. C, A.
and a series of concerts by one of the finest
vocal Societies in the United States. We
have had opportunities to hear some of the
best musicians of New York, such as S. B.
Mills, Wm. Mason, J.‘ R. Thomas, and
Signors and Madames without number.
Now we are to be favored the second time
with a' lecture by George McDonald, before

' Love for m- Mother.
Of all the love afiiurs in the world, none
can surpass the ”no love of a big: boy for
his mother. It is a love pure and noble
honorable in the highest'degree' to both. I
do not mean merely a dutiful affection. ' I
mean a love whichmakes a boy gallant and
courteous to his mother, saying to every-
body plainly that he is' fairly in love with
her. Next to the love. of her husband,
nothing' so crowns a woman’s life with hon-
or as this second love, this devotion of the
son to her. And I never yet knew a boy
to “ turn out.” bad who began by falling in
love with his mother. .

TUESDAY, May, 20.
Bills and resolutions referred, among
them resolution requiring bank commission-
er to make report in reference to rates at in-
terest required by banks on current loans
and increase of rates on back loans; referred.
Senator Stannard offered a resolution post-
poning the consideration of the. constitu-
tional amendment until Wednesday, June
4th, at 11:30, a. m., and supported it in afew
remarks, in which he said that he thought
no hasty action Should be taken. ~
Senator Burton hoped the matter would'
be settled at once. He thought it entire]
unnecessary to postpone the matter. 6 '
would have no lobbying upon the bill. It
was a question of-the people, not one be-
tween Hartford and New Haven. He did
not wish to be button-holed by outsiders.
He didn’t care which city was to be the
capital. He wanted the matter settled at
once. He did not believe in- referring the
matter to a constitutional convention.
, Mr. Stannard said he introduced the reso-
lution because he was not ready to vote.-
' The resolution was then indefinitely post-
poned. 1
