THE PANIC.
, The unaccountable and unprecedented
stringency in the money market has con-
tinued the past week without abatement,
though the closing indications were of re-
turning confidence and ease. The Bank Of
England raised its rate of interest to nine ,
' 'per cent., in the vain hope of preventing the
withdrawal of specie from its vaults for
shipment to this country. It fortunately
so happens that we owe England less
than commonly at this season, and that she
must have our grain and must send the gold
to buy it, and while the enormous rate ofin-
tercst Will no doubt arrest and paralize
basinbss at home, it can but work relief to
us, so that we see nothing at which to be
alarmed, unless a general ppnic is inaugur-
ated Yhereby, and our securities forced home
for redemption in greater quantities than
we can conveniently handle. The Herald
of Sunday has a cable telegram announc-
ing that our government has purchased
tl'om Germany twenty milliog of silver
bars to be coined at our mints into our own
national coins, and put into circulation. A
Herald correspondent last week gave a very
exaggerated statement of the effects of the
panic among the manufactories of Norwalk.
This has run the usual course of newspaper
circulation and alteration, until it is made
to appear that we are at a total stand still.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The halting interest is always more or less
dull at this season of the year. The straw
hat concern of the Messrs. Beatty’s has not
yet commenced opcrationsfor next year’s
trade, but are making every preparation so
to do. The Shirt Factory and Woolen Mills
are working full time, and one, at least, ex-
tra hours on orders which will last them
far into J anuary. Our several shoe mann-
factorics are still at work with full force of
hands, though their trade is dull, rind feels
severely the pressure. OurI’ottery, Bolt
Factory, &c., are running full time and full
handed. All are more or less put to it to
raise the cash in hand to meet pay rolls and
expenses; but we believe our business men
and factories, with scarce an exception, se-
cure and able to weather the gale. Our
Banks have done'their best, we presume, to
afford all necdful and deserved assistance
in their power to grant. Much depends on
them, because the fact is notorious that our
mercantile and manufacturing interests
have long since outrun our banking facili-
ties. The Banks have it greatly in their
power to inspire confidence in the public
mind at sucha crisis, by wise, judicious,
liberal action. Auy disposition to unneces-
sarily crowd their customers can work only
mischief, and increase the chances of fail
ure,a disaster all are anxious to avert.
Like a gale at sea, all hands, passengers and
crew, should make common cause in com-
bating the peril, till the tempest subsides.-
Our country is great, and rich, and power-
ful, and while so large and wild an expen-
diture in moonshine stocks, as we have of
late indulged,‘might have been supposed to
work only rain to those involved, there is
neither sense, necessity or reason in this
wild riot of financial distnst. A close-
reefing 'of all extra sail, general. retrench
ment and economy of living, will surely
bring us up out of this troubled sea, and
land us on surer financial foundations than
we have hitherto stood upon. Retrench-
ment, pluck and energy, with returning
snity, will surely tide usbver the fearful'
convulsion. _

The hard times has not entirely stopped
building with us, as we understand work
has been commenced the past week on new
residences for three of our enterprising young
men. Two are to be erected on West Main
street. viz: one at the corner of West Main
and Summer streets for Mr. B. S. Blascer,
and one a short distance further up, on the
opposite side of the way, for Mr. Jasper
Nickerson ; then Homer Merrill, he ofCowles
dtMerrill‘s insurance office is erecting a new
one, near the residence of his father on
France street. That is right boys, “push
along, keep moving.”

. Dr. A. Hill has inaugurated an important
local improvement in connection with the
Chas. Isaacs’ Homestead. He has removed
the barn to the rear of the house, which
enables him to open a street from Wall
southward to the proposed new street
across from West Avenue to Leonard’s
'Dock. A large number of eligible and
most convenient building sites will thus be
available.
‘
A good concrete walk is being put down
in place of the old one, in front ‘of the Old
Well Hotel. An attempt is also. being
made to fill the mud hole which adorns the
approaches to the Nex,Hnnveve'i-, until an
gluemrafn' is put down.

There is avehement clamor in New York
that coal should come down in price. Hay

of all commodities except apples, butter and
eggs, and they have “gone up.”

One of the important local institutions
which does not seem to be affected by the
panic, is the Boys Boarding School of the
Rev. C. M. Selleclr. His winter term
opened last week and yet although in the
midst of a monetary stringency unparalled,
his school again numbers over a hundred
boarding scholars. This'school has grown
to be one of the .most valuable institutions
of Norwalk, in a more financial way.
_
The mouth of Belde'n Avenue has been
left by the Borough OMcials in a deplorable
condition. If not immediately fixed it will
be in a worse condition than ever before.
It would really be too bad to have such a
slough hole made and left for the winter by
authority of the Borough.

owing to the stringency of .the times the

necessary and more help on hand than they
were actually in need of. Disliking to dis-

it best and fairest to make a general reduc-

For four months we had not seen the
railroad track,‘ cars nor engine. The sight
was very. agreeable. The distance to Pu‘o
ebio de Los Angles—the city of the Angels
—in 1831 the largest place in California—is
2 miles. The line of the road is across a
plain, and near the city through very ex-
tensive orchards and vineyards.. Willow
hedges divide many of the fields, and are
beautiful as well as useful. The valley
where the-city is built is’ less than a mile
wide. It is very evident that the business
of the city has felt the stir of American
ideas, and lb givingxlhem place, even as the
old adobe houses are'being rapidly sup-
planted by neat brick dwellings, and large
convenient stores. The streets are finely
shaded, and the yards are all aflnme with

Chilled, damp, and a little blue, we were
half inclined to bitter thoughts against San-
ta Barbara. By ten o’clock the sun had
gaincd'the mastery, and looked out in his
full-glory from above the heights of the
mounlfiins, and the harbor, the islands and
the valley lay pictured in beauty before us.
we felt like begging pardon for our feelings
while befogged. Moral: Don’t condemn
man nor place until you have seen him or
it in the best light possible.
At noon we were at home—as much so as
a-traveler can be—in the.Shaw House, built
and furnished by the proprietor with special
reference to the comfort of guests. Here
we spent several days. and meantime visited
Santa Barbara College, the Old Mission, and
an Orphan School, under the care of the
“Sisters." The Mission buildings are about
two miles from the landing, on ground suffi-
ciently elevated to overlook the valley,
while the Santa Ines mountains are a fine
back-ground, and set them ofi' to the best
advantage. The Mission buildings are in
the best condition of any on the coast, and
are infinite mlirked contrast with those at
San Diego, San Miguel and other places.
Visitors go inside and see the chapel and its
furnishings, and we strolled into the court
lolook at the fountain and steal a glance
at the grey frisrs,an order of Franciscan
monks, two of whom were Washing dishes.
One quickly left his dishes, and coming
near said, "I am sorry to say it, but women
are not allowed on. this side of the church.
You can go on the other side.” We went,

door of the “Sisters” school, because a

this juncture, as they have so often done‘be-
fore, his chances of retreatwould have been
small indeed, and his life of little worth.
Asit was he was unmolested, and he hung
to his charge like a superannuated' mule to

But we will not tarry on the plain. “A
coach and six," of the Coast Line Stage
Company, call for us at the Shaw House,
and will treat us to a morning ride over
Santa Inez. The sun rises while we are
among the foot-hills. The tug of the ascent
begins; this way, that way, up and on, on
and up, creeping along a path on the moun~
tain’s side, through cuts and around poin‘s
where it seems that we must stop or jump
ofi‘; our horses toiled on,:while we, from
our comfortable coach, looked-out upon the
ever changing scenes on either hand. A
moment on the summit, a glance backward,
and the descent begins. Zig-zag as before,
but now down and on, almost flying around
sharp turns'to find the road you have seen
directly across gorges that make you shrink
as you look down into them, you are hur-.

extending 15 miles,—studded with live oaks,
without fence and uninhabited. By eleven
o'clock. p. m., we have journeyed 100 miles
to San Luis Obispo, and are glad of a place
to rest. The next day much the same fea-
tures of travel are repeated. We cross the
Santa Lucia range, pass the missions of
Santa Margurita and San Miguel, the Passo
Robles springs, and at . midnight we are
near the terminus of the Southern Pacific
railroad. The springs just named are one
of the many wonders of California. ‘You

The adjourned town meeting held at Stur-
gis Hall N ov._8rd, was a remarkable one in
many respects. The impression had gained
credence that the Selectmen, and other
agents ofthe town, were in-s;‘Bing" for the
[surprise of “grabbing” and concealing what
was grabbed. The result of it, however,
was to dispel that notion, and in a measure
restore confidence.- The Auditors, Select-
men and .Union School committee reports
were read, and after animated debate, were
accepted. The meeting adjourned until to-
day' (Monday) at 2 o’clock, when another
lively time is expected.

of recognizing an old friend, then apologiz—

and residence, which are at once communi-
cated to a confederate who accosts you a
few rods ahead, calling you by your Rut
name and always anxious to lsno‘v how the
boys are up in your place? One of our
prominent real estate agents undertook to
see it out and» was of course led into a
gambling den. Another lately interested
in Infernal Revenue matters, got led into a
lottery or policy shop,‘ but declined to
“buck the liger".and escaped. A leading
citizen of Weslport thus “picked up” gave
his name as Brown, when “was Smibcrt.
and the“confederate" most blandly accosted
him with “why how do you do Mr. Brown.
and how are all the boys up at .Wcslpprti’"
A knight of the quill was also thus assaulted
near Chamber street, and ga've his name
and residence in full and patiently awaited
the salutations of “the other fellow.”
When near the Astor House he turned up
and most cordially called him by name and
was extremely solicitous to know how all
the Nor-walk boys were, and remarking
most concerncdly that he did not seem to
be fully recognized, and being assured that
he most certainly was that his friend had
just been parted with al Chamber street,
the rogue ghot away as, if a platoon of
metropolitans were after him.

On Tuesday morning, a man named
James Kelly, emplo ed on the farm of
Albert Seely, near ew Hope, was struck
aud'killcd by the owl train. Kelly had
been attending the “wake” of a deceased
relative, and is said to have been intoxicat-
ed at lhctime the accident occurred. He
was on his way home from the wake, and
while on the track a short distance east of
the Norman turnpike crossing, the locomo.
rive struck him and his death must haw
been instantaneous. Thebody was conveyed
to the depot; and l‘:om thence to the home
of the deceased. .
On the 20th of September a well-dressed
young man—apparently of the kid-glove
and white-choker order—appeared in com-
pany with a lady at the livery stable of W.
G. Nichols in this village, and very politely
asked to be accommodated with the use oft.
horse and buggy to drive to Norwalk and
return. He gave the name ofa well-known
citizen of that town as the party he intend-
ed to visit, and also referred to friends of
his in Stamford, among others G. W. Pal-
mer, of Long ‘Ridge. He was furnished
and-went his way. Returning with his
female companion in less than an hour, he
he'w‘as intending to visit, and therefore
would not require to make the journey'
anticipated. The gent promptly paid his
bill and went away. _ So far so good.
On Saturday he reappeared—this time
without a companion—at the stables, and
on making known his wish to hire the
“nicest rig on hand," including the horse
he had on the former occasion, the attend-
ants were only too anxious to do the bid-
ding of a gentleman so polite in manner
and so prompt in paying. He was furnish-
ed with .a $350 buggy, a $60 set of harness,
and a $20 lap robe, together with the finest
horse in t, stable. He said he was going
to Norwalk, and started in 'that direcrion
about 20’clnck p. In. Not putting in an
appearance in due time, suspicion began to
be aroused. and a visit to Norwalk disclosed
