Adjournment of Congress.
imagines terminated its 'protracted session
last Tuesday evening at six o’clock. Its
clddiii‘g ihonrséwere § more than ordinary ,
Keiting. * "Tii‘e‘bession of Saturday was
continued up to four o’clock Sunday morn-
ing and the I‘Monday's session continued
without ’Fadlournment to the final close.
The presentation by the President, of the
board of commissioners to govern the City
of Washington, headed by “boss" Shepheltd
caused the intensest interest both among his
friends and enemies. By the most prudent
thiends of the President, this act was deem-
Ed anerror, but Gen. Grant is known to
approve of the hurculean work of the re-
generation of Washington, designed and
executed by Shepherd, and it is seldom the
President. deserts a friend for any cause.
The other two members of the Commission
Ex-Gov., and Ex-P. M. General Dennison,
of Ohio, and Ex-Congressmsn Henry T.
Blow, of Missouri, were at once confirmed
by the Senate while Shepherd’s name was
set aside by being laid on the table, with
only six adverse votes. The substitution of
the name of Ex-Senator A. G. Cattell, re-
stored peace and confidence and he was at
once confirmed.“ These gentlemen have no
easy task before them, if they succeed in
bringing order out of the present confusion
existing in every branch of the old muni-
cipal government.
All the necessary appropriation bills
were carried through and much wise and
beneficient legislation has without doubt
been secured.
is very far from what the country had
hoped for, but under all the cirumstances
was'undonbtcdly the best that could have
been secured in a body so radically antago-
nistic in its views. Time will at least be
given for the public mind to crystalize and
settle down upon some better plan in the
future.
The tariff and revenue bills have been but
slightly modified and the few changes made
are designed to diminish rather than to in-
crease our present burdens of taxation.
There probably has not been 0. Congress
for the past quarter of a century where
fewer “jobs" have got through. ‘
All in all, this Congress deserves well of
the American people. In the elections so
soon to come off in the various Congression-
al Districts, we shall haveva chance to esti-
mate the popular appreciation and approv-
al'of the dominant party's stewardship, or
the reverse. .It‘ the strictest economy in
appropriations and the most rigid scrutiny
into all classes of private bills, grants and
claims, are what is desired by the country.
thenthis Congress is preeminently entitled
to the people’s favorable appreciation and
gratitude.
LWe are i glad to learn that Eben Hill, is

Now, while there is plenty of water, why
_ would it not be a good idea for our water
authorities to have, at intervals, the hy-
drnnts opened in all parts of the borough,
sons to purify the water and get a fresh and
pure circulation through the pipes. In
many of the by-streets, where there are but
few using it, the water becomes necessarily
stagnant by not being sufficiently drawn
from, and there now being, as we learn,
plenty running, over the dam, we think it
would be a good opportunity to free the
pipes throughout the borough of all old, stag-
nant water.

Mr. Wm. K. James has the granite bases
deposited along the front line of his resi-

wrought iron fence thereon. Of course the
artifieer in iron is to be none other than the
now famous Wrought Iron Fence Builder,
William H. Duncan, Esq. He has put up
more good and enduring fences than any
man in Connecticut, and his good taste and
superior workmanship entitle him to all the
success and reputation accorded him. Mr.
James has chosen the pattern surrounding
the residence of Eben Hill, Esq.
Mr. Fairbanks, who was present at the
closing exercises of the graduating class at
the State Normal School, must have felt a
. justifiable pride in the first honors borne off
by the young ladies from Norwalk, four of
whom were graduates from his school.
Norwalk has abundant reason for congratu-
lation that she possesses so accomplished,
eflcient and successful a teacher as Mr.
Fairbanks. '

The, project of straightening Belden

and cheaply they. can be. multiplied, to the
healthful beauty of the place. We trust so
favorable a chance as the present one may
, not be lost. - .

“A Temperance Prayer Meeting .
The ladies have organized a Union
Prayer Meeting, in the hope of arresting the
fearful scourge of intemperance. Their first
meeting is to be Wednesday, at the 2d
M. E. Church. A general meeting will be
held at the same place in the evening to
which all are invited. We do not learn that
the “crusaders” contemplate any more
marked demonstrations upon those who
unrestrictediy send liquid poisons incur
midst. We offer the following as a contribu-
tion: . -
One of the most affecting scenes brought
out in connection with the present woman s
movement ‘was lately exhibited in Stryker,
O. The ladies there have organizedthem-
selves into, a “Woman’s Temperance
League,” and are holding meetings for
' rayer and speaking every Tuesday and
riday afternoon, and a mass meeting once
a week. At the first meeting the room was
crowded, several of the most prominent sa-'
icon-keepers bein present. After a short
addressby Mrs. indslcy, the lady Presi-
dent of the Lea ue, Col. E. D. Bradley was
makin some ab e remarks, when the drunk-
enhns and of the President staggered tow-
ards the platform and pushed by his wrfe
who had sprung to intercept him. As he
passed her she seized the bottle from his
pocket and placed it on the table beside
her. Meanwhile the half insensible bus.
band turned and sat down. Rising to her
feet and holding up to bottle amid the
profoundest silence, the half-frenzied wife
exclaimed-we give what follows in the
words of Mrs. Rev. B. Wallace, of Striker,
in her letter to the Western Christian Adso-
cafe:
“Here is the cause of'my sorrow. Here
drunkard’s wi e. Look at it, rnmseller!
Here is the poison dealt out by you to the
once-loved husband of my youth; but now
[pointing to her husband] behold the re-
mains—nothing but the remains—of what
was once a noble and honored man. Love,
truth, even manhood itself, has fled. Now
behold him! And here [pointing to the bot-
tle] is the cause.’ She stopped for a mo-
ment, and nothing was heard but the sobs
of the audience; then turning her pale, an-
guish stricked face towards heaven, she ex-
claimed, “How long 0 Lord, shall intemper-
ance reign, blighting our dearest earthly,
hopes and draining our very life’s blood ;’
then turning to the audience, ‘Can you won-
der that I raise my voice against this terri-
ble evil? Sisters, will you help me ‘2’ Cries
of ‘Yes! Yes!’ came from almost every
lady in the house. She sat down pale and
exhausted. The meeting concluded, but im'-
pressions were made that never can be cras-
ed. Sisters, take courage; the Lord is on
our side, and right must prevail.”
Mayor Weed has issued notices granting
permission for the use of fireworks within
the Borough “from sundown on the even
ing of the 3d to 12 o’clock, midnight, of
July 4th.” The police are instructed to
arrest all persons violating the by-laws by
the firing of guns, pistols, squibs, fireworks,
etc., at any other time. The fine for selling
such articles without license is $50 and the
fine for exploding them not exceeding $10.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors

Tbe children and teachers of the Spring-

festival on Wednesday evening last in their
school roomou‘dthe tent adjoining. Many
friends and patrons of the school were
present, and aided materially in its success.
The exercises were interspersed with sing-
ing, satiny, drinking, and reeitations. The
“glee” by the Pennell brothers and sisters,
song by Miss Mabel Nash ,‘and recitation by
Miss Eda Kidney, written by Miss Lewis,
one of the teachers, were the features of the
evening. , .
With happy faces and glad hciirts,
We come to-night to meet you,
And here in this our Sunday school,
We very gladly greet you. ‘
Your presence with us guarantees
Your aid you’ll not refuse us,
And if we fail to interest,
We hope that you’ll excuse us.
We’re but a little band, ’tis true,
But do not want; in spirit;
. For numbers is not always strength,
In action is true merit.
And now while fragrance fills the air,
And odors sweet waft o’er us,
We’ll but detain a moment more,
Remembering what’s before us.
A word of praise we’d give to one
On whom we are dependent,
To himywho graces well his place, ' ,
Our worthy Superintendent.
And then of you who’ve kindly come
To get good and to bring good,
.We ask your prayers that God will bless

Norwalk atrs'he Kormnl School. ,
ThojState'I‘lortnal School, at New Britian, ‘
day, June 26th. Thefr'class was unusually
large, numbering twenty-three ladies and
four gentlemen. The graduating exercises
were held in the Center Church, which was
filled to overflowing with a large and culti-
vated audience. A delegation of twenty or
more from Norwalk helped to swell the
number.
At the time appointed for commencing the
exercises the graduating class passed up the
aisles on either-sided: thefchurch and took
the seats reserved for them in front. The
young ladies tastefully dressed in white andR
adorned with a profusion of flowers present-
ed a sight exceedingly attractive and bean-
tiful to look upon. Though the names of all
in the class appeared upon the programme,
only the ten who ranked the highest in
scholarship had the honor of reading in the
church.
The programme was as follows :—

The essays were generally well written.
Miss Mattie‘Grcgory appeared first upon the
platform and performed her part in a highly
creditable manner—her essay was smoothly
Written and gracefully delivered.
The poem, by Miss Woodward, was of
marked excellence. The essays of Miss
Carrie Olmstead and Miss Sara Fitch were
admirable productions, excellently written,
.and read with a naturalness and. grace that
commanded the attention of the entire au-
dience. The valedictories pronounced by
Miss Fitch were peculiarly pleasing and ap-
propriate. It was perfectly evident that the
N orwalkyoung ladies notonly ranked high
as scholars in the estimation of their teach-
ersbut that theyalso commanded the re-
spect and admiration of their classmates
and theflunderg'raduales. .f'Seonetary North-
rop 11,13,118 Econrée of hisrem‘arks spoke: of
our-youngladies in highly complimentary
terms. Gov. Ingersoli, who was-expected
to be present and award the diplomas, failed
to appear and they were presented by
Secretary Northrop.
After singing the Parting Ode, by the
class, the exercises were adjourned till after-
noon, when the church was again filled to
the address of Dr. Mayo, of Springfield,
Mass, on the Relation of Parents and
Teachers to the work of Education. The
address was eminently practical and exceed-
ingly interesting. Prof. Hibbard then en-
tertained the audience with Readings, and a'
short address was made by Col. Sprague, a
former principal of the School. The Alum-
ni and invited guests then sat down to an
alumni dinner at the hotel. A reunion of
past graduates in the evening in the hall of
- the Normal School Building, closed the fes-
tivities of the day'.‘
The sons and daughters of old N orwalk
won more than their full share of honors at
the , Commencements last week. At the

$50 awarded to “the most faithful and de-
serving student of the Graduating Class.”
He delivered the Greek salutatory oration,
andgeceived the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
At Yale, Mr. George Willis Benedict,
son of George Benedict, Esq.,Wcst Avenue,
graduated in the Academical department,
receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
In the Yale Scientific School, Mr. Eugene
Ernest Osborn ranked second in his class
of thirty-eight, and was one of nine selected
to read a thesis.
College z—Charles ' K. Woodbury, Winfield
S. Moody, and J. Hill, to the Academic De.
partiiient; Richard and Walter Hart, and
Arthur Betls to the Scientific Department.
The number of applicants was unusually
large, 163 making application for admission
to the Academic and 98 to the Scientific
Department. The examinations in the Sci-
entific Department were unusually severe,
and a college graduate would be obliged to
look up his studies thoroughly to pass such
an examination. It speaks well for the
young gentlemen that they were admitted
though some of them were conditioned. A
large number of applicants were rejected.
ArthurlBetts goes from the Center School.

for it than paralysis. Why Maynard
could’nt speak was.because there was a

Deafness and Discharge of the Ear
Cured.
A son of Mr. S. P. Cake, of Port Republic,
Atlantic 00., New Jersey, who has been
deaf for sixteen years with discharge from
the ear and catarrh, caused by scarlet fever
has been entirely restored to his health by
Dr. Rowe. The' case is an extraordinary
‘one, inasmuch as the young man was four-
teen months old when attacked with scarlet
fever, and before commencing to use Dr.
Rowe’s remedies was so deaf as not to be
able to hear, unless spoken to in a very loud
tone of voice. Latterly the Icatarrh had
effected his head so as to prevent him from
studying. Now he can hear as well as any
one, and has commenced his studies again.

DR. SCHENCK’S
Pulmonie Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cures of Consumption than an other remedy
known to the American ublic. ey are com-
pounded ofvegetablc ingre rents,and contain noth-
Lpg which can be injurious to the human constitu-
tion.
_ Other remedies advertised as cures of Consump-
tion, probably contain opium, which is a. somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to conilne the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make a cure impos-
si e. - .
Schenek’s Pulmonio Syrup is warranted not to
contain a particle of opium: It is composed of
owerful but: harmless erbs, which act: on the
ungs,lrycr, stomach and blood and thus correct
all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the only means
y which consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills are the on y medicines which ope-
rate in this way, it is obvrous they are the onl isn-
ulne cure for Pulmonary Consumption. .» Eac ot-
tlc ofthisinvaluable medidine is accompanied by
