At the annual meeting of the corporators
held last Wednesday. it was voted to accept
the new charter which provides for the elec-

three going out each year—instead of nine
each year as heretofore. For the ensuing
year Directors were elected as follows :—
Wm. C. Street,(President,) Stephen Smith.
Samuel E. Olmstead, Robert B. Craufhrd,
William B. E. Lockwood, George M. Holmes"
Edward P. Weed, Asa Smith, George E. Mil-
ler. The annual report 'of the Treasurer
was read, which we print elsewhere and by

Last week Judge Granger rendered a de-
cision in the case of E. W. Stuart vs. the
National Bank of N orwalk, tried at the
June term, and which has attracted so much
attention among business men. He over-
ruled the demurrer and rendered judgment
for the plaintifi‘ of $1.00 and legal costs.
The suit was brought to recbver for collater-
als and bonds leil with the bank for safe
r'keep‘ing, and which were stolen thereil'om
at the time of the robbery. The case will
now probably, go to the Court of Errors.
We retrain from any remarks in regard to
the case at present.

At the First Congregational church, last
Sunday. Rev. H. C Trumbull, of Hartford,
so favorably known in connection with the
Sunday School work, occupied the pulpit in

Starr, and by W. H. Benedict, Sup’t of the
South Norwalk Congregational S. School.
Henry Seymour, Treasurer, read his yearly
report, fi‘om which we learn that the receipts
of the School last year amounted to $544, of
which 8500 was paid for the support of a
missionary at the West and $20 to the Sea-
men’s Friend’s Society for the purchase ofa
library. Mr. A. H. Bissell. eldest son of the

A party of Norwalk people left Saratoga
last week and made a trip into Murray’s
paradise—the Adirondack wilderness,while
there they indulged in fishing and great are
the stories of the remarkable “catch." Our
columns are not long enough for the fishy
tale, and then we know we ought not spoil
a true fisherman’s chief pleasure—that of re-
tailing his own exploits. Suflce it to say
that Dr. Lynes’ daughter carried off all the
prizes and—fish; that she won on the “first”
fish, the “largest” fish, the “best variety” of
fish, the “greatest number of fish taken at a
single bau ” and the last fish. While others
were striking Beattytudes her Lynes fell in
pleasant places. ‘

DnanGaznmt—You reported our safe
arrival at Aspinwall, Tuesday, April 29th. ,
Nefsooner w'as‘our steamer moored to the
wharf than the transfer of luggage to the
train for Panama commenced. . En peasant
we will say that the weighing of the baggage
the day before wps the most exciting scene
of the voyage. One young lady who had
not spoken aloud for months, regained her
voice undg: the nervous pressure of the
scene. Each passenger is allowed 100 lbs.
free, all over that being charged ten dollars
per' hundred—somewhat higher than rates
of freight. Immediately after breakfast,the
hold, staterooms and, steerage disgorged
into the dining saloon “great trunks, little
trunks, bandbox and bundle,” all to be sub-
mitted to “Fairbanks’ standard.” Theex-
citement was intense. Our English friend,
who is removing from London to Vancouv-
er’s with his wife, governess and seven
children says he will pay $20 cheerfully,
Four times that amount is modestly levied
on his purse and others in proportion.
Moral—When you travel leave half your
finery at home. We think the regulation
merciful, for with the present tendency,
ladies will soon carry trunks its-large as the
average San Diego house, and be guilty, of
exterminating the whole race of wiry little
Chinese porters.
The—four hours required for the transfer
of trunks gave ample opportunity to look at
Aspinwall,gather flowers, make purchases
of fkuit and curiosities and see how the na-
tives live and do business. ' On the street, a
pert, half-breed Indian girl accosts your cor-
respondent—she is robed in white with a
sweeping train and a broad ' brimmed
“Panama”—-“Buy abox of cigars.” To his
indignant “no” “buy a bottle of brandy” to
a more indignant negative, “say what will
you have, buy something of me." Aspin-
wall, low and unattractive, withjts few hun-
dred inhabitants, has all its distinction as'
the point of departure for the Panama R. R_
Most of the trade is done upon the broad
stone side-walk ofthe one broad street, upon
which stood the Railroad train, not at all
interfering with travel or trafic, for we saw
only one lone donkey in the town. , At 1
o'clock we are en route
moss oonatt 'ro com. .
Steaming out of the city, a grove of cocoa-
nut trees, intermingled with mangoes, bread
fruit'and bananas, calls forth our first ex
clamations of delight, and as we plunge
into the thickets and morasses where vege-
table life evolves in a luxuriancc that sadly
mocks our ' struggling conservatories at
home, these exclamations are repeated quite
regardless of sameness or frequency. If
you want to know how beautiful the green
earth can seem to mortal eyes, toss . for ‘ten
seasick days at the mercy of trade-winds
and tides. then cross the “Isthmus.” So
says our traveling companion. The scene
impressed one with the magnitude and in.
numerable obstacles of undertaking a path-
way for steam across “the narrow neck of
land connecting two continents.” Before
American daring and enterprise put hand to
the work, both England and France, recog-
nizing its importance to the commercial
world, had looked at it, counted in part the
cost, and abandoned it as a rash venture.
When, however, Oregon became ours by
settlement of the North West boundary
question, and the Mexican war gave us
California, Congress in 1848, by special act
encouraged the establishment of mail lines
of steamers,one from New York to Chagres
via New Orleans, the other from Panama to
California and Oregon. W. H. Aspinwall,
seeing far beyond the present, whether of
outgo or income, took the Pacific line
though many shrewd business men looked
upon it with doubt and disfavor. The next
year a company was formed and contract
made with the New Grenada Government
for the construction of the P. R. R. Henry
Chauncey, John L. Stephens and W. H.
Aspinwall were the contractors, andeach is
memorized on the route. The first by the.
best steamer now on the line from New
York to A. ; the second by an immense
cedar-tree, called “Stephen’s Tree,” 9. third
of the distance from Aspiuwall to Panama;
and the third by the name of the city itself
built upon the coral island,—-Manganilla,-.—
one terminus of the stupendous undertaking.
The discovery of gold in Calsfornia turn-
ed a strong tide of emigration thither. Sur-
veys of the road were made and the work
actually begun, but the diflculties were al-
most insuperable. In the dry season the
heat was so intolerable, and the sand-flies
. . it they
air. In!“ .
Swim) “1.353 poisonous roots and vile
’ifipliles to their waists in mud and water,
and deadly disease followed. The natives
would not work; men from the West Indies
were secured,but they could not; Chinamen
and Irishmen were in turn brought on. only
to follow speedily their unfortunate prede-
cessors to the grave or their homes; but
still pressed by Northern brains and largly
by Northern hands the work went on
through varying fortunes to completion in
1855. Thus this needed highway of trade
and trafilc for the world was opened—47%
miles long at a cost of $8,000,000, and some
say a man’s hfefor wary tt'aon the road. In
importance none will question, but when
men 0f the world denounce the waste of
life and the expenditure of treasure for
translating bibles, planting missions and
saving souls, let them keep in mind their
own enterprises of war, of trade and of
travel. On what single mission has eight
million dollars been spent? But we must
not linger over the road. Ours is not a
train of palace cars, but a very modest and
comfortable one-story affair, upholstered
with cane, the sides a succession of mov-
able winddw shades, and with the doors
open all through, has quite a social and
family air—indeed by this time we are com-
ing to feel much like 'a family'of grovVn up
boys and girls off on a frolic—not the
“Frolic.” Shout after shout of merriment
breaks out as the novel scenes in the native
villages along the route come into view.

We journeyed in an acéomstodatt'on train,

nor more than one half the passengers were
out, rushing over the green award like boys

and everything within their reach. A word

not recognized; one garment, or at most
two, too long neither at top or bottom, suf-
ficed for the gentlemen. The ladies ‘copy
their N. Y. sisters as respects the train of
their muslin skirts, but innocent quite of
starch, crinoline, or overskirt. while "smoke-
“dried children were clothed in nothing bht

the road is 800 feet above tide water. and
the last half of the way abounds in grandlv
beautiful scenery. You swaep suddenly
from the hills into Panama, and .as soon as
the train stops the handrto-hand struggle.

in the bay. We reach it just in timefto see

from the Atlantic steamer-4 fonr‘handl’ings l
what a saving if the Tehuantepec or Darien
canals ever become a reality,) afford oppor-
tunity to “do” Panama. It is an old Span-
ish town, built upon a coral formation and
surrounded on its eastern water front by a
moss grown fortification: Its plaza sup-
ports on one side the “Grand Hotel,”. open
alike to visitors and vermin; on another the
ancient Cathedral, now undergoingrepairs;
and onthe remaining sides the principal
business houses of the city. ’Tis a sorry
place save to those “to the manor born,”
who evidently enjoy their slip-shod, careless
ways. True homes are bible-born, and in
the persons of the long robed Padres, cross-
ing your path at every corner, you could
understand the blight that was upon all
things. The third evening we glided from
our moorings under “the soft silver light of
the moon" and with our prow to the. South:
ern Cross, steamed 00 miles down Panama
bay to ‘find ourselves next morning upon
the broad Pacific with an open stretch of
10,000 miles of ,ocean' and western breezes
to generate for us life inspiring and health
giving ozone. Until Wednesday evening,
May 7th, there was little on ship board to
break the monotony of daily life, unless we
except the Sabbath when the uninitiated
Presbyterian divine, with his indistinct
Americo-German accent, attempted, for the
sake of manpleasing, to render the grand
old service of 'the church of England.
'Twas a pitiful farce, and quite ofi‘ended the
good tasteof his brother-men. The scenery
of the shore was meantime grand and
changeful. Lofty mountains, curiously
formed islands and deep echoing caves gave
variety to the‘eye and car, while whales and
sharks, pelicans and boobies animated the
scene. v .
Wednesday evening, May 7th, we drop-
.ped anchor in the pretty bay of Acapulco
and waited the echo of her hills with our
signal guns. These Mexican towns have
no wharves and you paddle in your own or
a native’s canoe-gum % miles to shore.
This gives change and excitement if you.
have nervous ladies in the party. One of
these was exhorting the some young divine
to sit down and :be quiet. He thanked her
for so kindly censidering his life and safety.
She honestly, answered, “I was not think-
ing of your life, but my own.” We only
'noted the mud house city from the steamer,
with its yellow fortifications; andon the
other side of the bay nestled the City'of the
Dead under a cocoa grove. We found our
amusement in watching the trade in fruits
brought on board by native women.
Oranges and mangoes $1.50 per hundred,
bananas 50 cts per bunch and pineapples,
how delicious, $8.00 per hundred. We
learned for the first time in our lives, that a
ripened “pine” has black seeds like any
other apple. We all supply ourselves, and
the slip’s officers drive a profitable trade
with their fi'iends up the coast, for once on
shore at San Diego you can buy a “pine"
for at ' its or a dollar. Metachin, on the
Isthm't‘, is the cheapest place for buying
fruit.
Or 'L-‘riday a. m., our signal gun wakened
us a: d the echoes of the mountains at
Maz'. llla simultaneously, for which we
were repaid by a view of a glorious sun
rise among the hills. 'We spent a few
hours in this odorous—and do not accept
that word as cogveying any pleasing im-
pression to the directories—bay, and paid a
half hours visit to the wretched town. The
waters here and at other points along the
route were of a dirty indiau red tint, caused
by the presence of the animalculae upon
which the whale feeds, 23,888,000,000,000
of them to the square mile; so naturalists
tell us. At other points of our journey we
saw at night such exquisite phosphores-
cence as made the waters seem like molten
silver shimmering in the moonlight.
Saturday p. m., we spent “riding about
town” at Mazatlan in a barouche drawn by
five fat mules‘for v‘Vh'i'ch' six of us paid
twelve bits per hour. This is a well built
town of 15,000 inhabitants living and
doing business in adobe houses. one story
high, surrounding spacious courts, many of
them brilliant with the blossoms of the
tropics. _The oddest sight to our Eastern
eyes was a mighty train of pack mules

The third annual meeting of the Conn.

Hall, New‘ Saybrook,last week Tuesday.
The members of the Union, with their in-
dies, spent the day in social intercourse at
this dclighflul watering place, occupying
the spacious verandas, and enjoying the
coolng breezes which came off the sound
with pleasant refreshings. At six o’clock
the business meeting was held at which
ofilcers were elected for the ensuing year,
and five Or six new members were received.
The old board of ofilcers was re-elected.
viz: Jas. Howard, Hartford, President;
Joe. B. Hoyt, Stamford, 1st Vice’President;
Francis Wayland, New Haven, 2d Vice-
Prcsidcnt;L. H. Biglow, South Norwalk,
Treasurer. A board of eight directors was
also elected, of which J. Amsbury, of Dan-
bury is chairman.
At 8 o'clock the dining~room was thrown
open and about one hundred and fifty guests
sat down to the well-spread tables. The
collation was superb and reflected great
credit on this large and well kepthotel. At
about 9 o’clock the president called the
company to order, and after a few remarks
called upon Giles Potter, Esq.,of Essex.

Mnssns. Enrronsz—A statement was re-
cently published in the‘ Stamford Advocate
and copied into the New York Times, re-
specting the late Rev. Josiah Peabody,
which I know to be incorrect,aud which
contains a reflection upon the people of
Somh Canaan, which is unjust to them'and
annoying to the family of the deceased. It
asserts that when the church of South Cau-
aan heard of the arrest of Mr. Peabody’s
son on the charge of burning the house of
worship at North Stamford they revoked
the invitation they had extended to him to
become their minister, and that the disap-
pointment in consequence was probably one
of the causes of hastening his death. Now,
so far is this from being true, that the peo-
ple of South Canaan expressed the utmost
sympathy for him in his trials, and of great
disappointment that his death prevented
them from enjoying his ministry. His goods
were already moved there, in expectation
of his making that place his residence,
when he was suddenly called to his final re-‘
ward. H.

“Sunstroke, or thermic fever,” says Prof.
Youmans, “is not generally understood. It
may be experienced without exposure to
the direct rays of the sun; it attacks people
in hospitals, vessels and tents, and often in
the night men in bed who have retired in
apparent health. It is produced by expo-
sure to artificial heat, as in the laundry of a
hotel. 'Heat is‘the principal exciting cause,
but other conditions aid it, as overcrowding
and insufficient ventilation, and exhaustion
produced by prolonged exertion. Want of
ncclimatization is a predisposing cause: and
spirit~drinkers are more liable to it than ab-
stainers. A victim of sunstroke should be
taken immediately to the shade, outdoors
is better than in-doors, on account ofthe
ventilation; the clothing should be stripped
from the body, and the head, neck and
chest should be continuously drenched with
cold water, until there is a perceptible di-
minuation of the temperature of the bod .
The patient should be encouraged to drin
freely.‘ To avoid sunstroke the function of
the skin should be kept free by bathing;
hard labor in a highly heated atmosphere
should be shunned; the dress worn should
be light and loose fitting, and the hat light
and so made as to permit a free circulation
about the top of the head.
