Governor Fitch Centenary.
Saturday last having been the one hun-
‘f 13mm ghniversary of the death of “Honora-
, _ ble Thomas Fitch, Esquire,Goveituor of the
s g: .2 001°“ of Connecticut,” the day was noticed

ment of the school under command of
‘Pfifess'or‘Te‘udl, tutor of longest standing
in the institution, proceeded at Reveille,
sunrise, to the Down Town burying ground.
The old colonial flag was planted at the
head of the Governor‘s tomb by a grand-son
of Commodore Renshaw, U. S. N., and the
national ensign at the foot by a son of
,General Haines of the United States Army.
A brief historical sketch was then given
and a commemorative poem recited by
Albert H. Wright,Jr., of—New York, after
which navy honors were ordered. These
were given, an silence, the. cadets standing
with uncovered heads arcund'the tomb.
Derrick Lane Hall, of Troy, N. Y.,
Frederick Fitch Culver, of Lafayette, N. J .,
and George S. Mallory of Jersey City, N. J _,
all descendants of the distinguished ofiicer,
then laid a wreath of pure white flowers—-
contributed by the School and arranged by
John H. Smith of South Norwalk, around
the inscription upon the tablet.
At retreat, sundown, the colors were
taken in and the wreath left until tattoo,
when it was removed and carried the same
evening to Miss Mary Esther Raymond—
herself and brother being the nearest living
descendants of the Judge, Chief-Justice,
Lieut. Governor and Governor of the colo-
ny of Connecticut, who, “having served his
generation by the will of God, fell asleep
July 18th, anno domiui 1774.”
The Bridge Defeated.
”As was expected, the current of sixteen
millions of combined railroad capital was
_ too strong for the Parallel Bridge in the
Seuate.,.That august body by a vote of
eight to twelve, virtually say to the labor-
ing and business men of Connecticut, “ You
shall not build any more railroads. You
shall not have employment. You shall not
reap the advantages of the expenditure of
six millions of dollars, now, when all other
business disbursements are withered."
The laboring men of Connecticut will not
fail to note these facts and see to it that such
unfaithful servants have no opportunity to
thus thwart the public interests, and defy
the public desire. Parallel is unjustly,
cruelly delayed and embarrassed by this
action of an unfaithful Senate, btit by no
. means defeated.
An old historical Norwalk land mark,
familiar, to thefies of all the present and
many of older generations, present and
absent, is now being rebuilt and modernized.
The little 'red hat shop, so sweetly nestled
. in among the rocks and trees of “shovel
hill”-as the locality. was known a century
or more ago, is now to give place to a more
capacious and imposing structure. Messrs.
George 86 .Wm. H. Benedict finding the
business to‘have grown beyond the capaci-
ties'of the old hat shop, have the founda-
tions laid for a new one, three story high,
25x56. Messrs. Raymond & Sherwood are
. the builders, and contract ,to finish the
building in four weeks. _
The senior member ,of the firm, Mr.
George Benedict, commenced business here
orty-f'our years ago, and during the first
fourteen years of his career, lost iu'bad
debts, mostly at the South, over one hun-
dred thousand dollars, leaving himself and
his then partner,Mr. Kidney, far poorer than
when they commenced, with all their pru-
dent toii repaid by debt and embarrassment.
On Mr. Kidney retiring from the firm, Mr.
Wm. H. Benedict became partner. A
change from “the old system of six and
twelve months credits, and a dilligent appli-
cation to the practical operations of their
factory—the proprietors working daily at
the bench with their men—the new firm has
been uninterruptedly prosperous and steadi-
ly in favor and magnitude. This is proba-
bly the oldest as it is one of the most highly
honored business firms in Norwalk. The
verynames of George and Wm. H. Bene-
dict, wherever known, are but synonyms
of uprightness and the sternest New Eng-
land business integrity. Long may they
live to enjoy the well-earned fruits of their
hard, earnest‘aud faithful labors. .
Our older readers will remember the site
of the Benedict hat shop as that of an old
still, in the days lang sync. It was then
owned in ‘part by Dr. Miller who then
_,..,on North Avenue next door to Dr.
_ ' ' Mr. James Seymour long since
._ .d s ’d, was the other owner and manager
of the still. Here apples were distilled into
‘ cider brandy, rye and malt wei'e run into
whisfey, and the ’drip of the still worm
feebly gurgled "with the fallingw-aters of
' “shovel hill brook." How itstheu nui'que
nameget changed into “gosling brook” is
. ‘one of the mysteries of local nomenclature.

“ Carlo, look at this cracker,” said the to-
. .per to his dog, as he held out the soiled bis-
cuit from his dirty digits. “Now,,Carlo, lay
down and roll over, right here in the dirt for
the gentlemen,and you shall have the crack-
er.” Carlo with a hungry leer, strictlyobeys.
“Now lie down and roll over again,” says
the master, breaking faith with his dog, and.
the sharpened appetite of the brute induces
him to another plunge in ,dirt.‘ “Well,
I guess after all, I’ll keep ,..cracker to eat
myself," and the poor, cheated whelp sluuk
off with his tail hugging his after-parts, and
his eyes bespeaking shame and disappoint-
- 'ment.- ‘Can anyone detect a “Parallel” in
the. action of the great monopoly and the
Connecticut Senate? »

Our wide-awake and enterprising real
estate friend, James Mitchell, is now exer-
cised by the conundrum as to whether the
water power necessary to drive a gin mill or
whisky still comes within the spirit of the
' confiscation clause of the Connecticut Flow-
age Law. Mitchell says he don’t know of
any other kind of “manufacturing” which is
for more “general use.” '
_
We have received from Syracuse .a cabi-
' net portrait of our old and lamented friend
John Austen, who 'met so sad a fate at the
church'festival disaster in‘ that city. Time
- had certainly dealt kindly with our friend
since we last saw him in health and happi-
ness, for he has little changed, and his pic-
ture shows 'less' indication of advancing
.years than we should have anticipated.
We are gratified :to learn that Mrs. Austen
and her daughter are slowly but surely re-
covering from,their_ serious injuries. We
are 'glgeutly, indebted to Rev. Augustus
“Beardlfor‘the; ihfcrest he has shown in fitr-
' 'nishing'us ‘with the details of information
so‘ interesting, although so melancholy, to
the many, many. friends 'of--‘ the Austen
family still resident'here.
,. . That there maybe no possible mistaking
the matter, perhaps we should say that the
:extra quality of that 1112, spoken of by us
last week as having been produced by our
friend Biglow, had no possible reference to
anything of a liquid character. All the
bourbon lurking in it is strictly antcccda.

Another of those distressing events which
shock the sensibilities of a“com‘munity‘ oc-
curred Saturday evening in the drowning of
Capt. Smith, of the little excursion steamer,
“Flirt.” The particular details, as devel-
oped in the-testimony befol'e the Coroner’s
inquest, willbe given elsewhere. The and
event was first announced about ten o’clock
Saturday night, and ,has cast the deepest
gloom over our entire .village‘. He was
widely and pleasantly kn‘o'wrl, and being of
an unusually happy and jovial tempera-
ment, had hosts of friends who admired his
wit, and were fascinated by his never
failing good nature. He Masai! heart; even
“his errors loaned to virtue’s side.” .It
would seem from the eidence of those
with him that, losing his presence Of mind
in a moment of great excitement, caused by
the bursting of a kerosene lamp on board
his boat, he jumped into the water, hoping,
no doubt, as he was an expert swimmer, to
catch one of the yawls towing behind.
These he missed, although passing within a
few feet of them, owing to the strength of
the current and the speed of his steamer,
which, at that moment, was under full head-
way. 'He was always from his youth, as
we learn, especially excitable, and sometimes
almost frantic over a sudden alarm of fire,
caused by the burning of a Chicago house
in which'he slept in childhood. It would
seem that he had kept his presence of mind
'unlil he had torn away the burning awning
and extinguished the burning wood. when,
as it would seem,in a fit of almost mental
aberration he stepped upon the rail and took
the fatal leap. There is another plausable
theory adduced by a very intelligent wit-
ness. He gives it as his opinion that the
cry of “throw the lamp ouerboar ,” which
came from Larrigan in the skiff at the stern,
was understood by Smith to be “throw
yourselfoverboard.” Everybody had jeered ~
at him,ha]f in sport and half in earnest,
with the prediction that his boiler would
yet blow him up, &c. Under a supposition
that Larrigan saw imminent danger that he
(Smith) could not, and that he could, no
doubt, catch Larrigan’s boat, he jumped out
some six feet from his boat under a sudden
impulse. This theory is entirely within the
range of probabilities.
Mr. Solmans succeeded in finding his body
Sunday afternoon, a short distance this side
of Mr. Keyser’s residence, and had it brought
to Raymond's store, South Norwalk, where
the jury of inquest was held, under the
foremanship of Er.-Mayor Ely. Drs. Lock-
wood and Purdee were present and viewed
the remains, but saw nothing to conflict
with the general testimony. The jury ad-
journed to meet at seven this Monday even-
ing,but the verdict will not differ in result
from the above.
His mother, Mrs. Louisa A. Smith», now
of Hartford, but formerly of our Norwalk
Hillside Seminary, was telegraphed for
early Shuday morning, and reached the
stricken and desolate home of her dead boy
this (Mondayfmorning. He was literally
the “Widow’s only son,” and probably a
more affectionate, dutiful, and filial child
parent never had. Capt. Smith was so fall
times seemed visionary to others of more
deliberate moods. But his errors were of
the head only—never the heart. He has
always taken a special interest and delght
in the growth and improvement of Nor-
walk. For years he has entertained and
, frequently expressed the belief to us that a
propeller for towing and excursions, was
one of the most important of our business
needs. Sometime last year he procured the
little propeller, from which he has so sud-
denly and tragically ended his eventful life.
Finding it too small for towing purposes, he
used his little craft for excursion trips to
and from Roton. It was on Friday, only
the day before his death, that, with flags
and streamers flying, the gay little craft
steamed up to and about our wharves at the
Bridge, to the joy of her commander and
the delight of a crowd of bebolders. Smith
was on his last homeward trip from Roton,
Saturday night, when the accident occurred.
He had just rounded the point atKeyser’s
Island, and Mr. Keyser‘s family, who were
on their dock, plainly heard the snap of the
glass and bursting of the lamp. - But his
life’s struggles are over, and the “ weary
rests.” Peace to his ashes;and while we
drop our tears of afi'ectionate remembrance
over his bier, let us implore that “ He, who
tempereth the winds to the shorn lambs,”
will comfort and sustain the stricken wife
and mother and :his five fatherless babes.
So deeply were our citizens moved by the
sad occurrence, that hundreds visited the
scene of the disaster and aided, as best they
could, inlthe search for his remains. -At a
late hour Sunday, John H. Keyser,Esq.,
made the munificent offer of one thousand
dollars to any one who should find him,
while all of aid and sympathy that sympa-
thizing friends could proffer, were entended
to the distressed family.
Captain Smith was an active and influen-
tial member of St. John’s Lodge and Clin-
ton Commandery of Knights Templars, and
will be buried today with Masonic honors.
P. S.—A leading physician who has carefully
examined all the circumstances, thinks Capt.
Smith must have been siezed with a fit at
the time of his jumping. The attitude of
the body and limbs give some color to the
doctor’s theory.
President Bishop has literally “gone to
Halifax,” “to recuperate after his exhaustive
work of running our Reform legislature and
drafting laws to “protect the people” and
continue and! strengthen monopoly. He
evidently travels at the expense of Railroad
Stockholders, for he “embarked on the ele-
gant palace car ‘Gov. Ingersoll,’ which he
and his family will occupy exclusively du—
ring the executive trip,” which is to last
three months.

Our exoselect man, Silas P. Tattle, essayed
a practical test of the 14th Constitutional
Amendment, which while proving his endur-
ance and fortitude, has proved far from
encouragng. In his effort to capture a
porcine monster, with the aid of a “colored
friend and {brother”—his “aid” stepped on
friend Tuttle’s ankle and crushed the bones
of his leg. This might have been expected
perhaps, from the vast superficial area
covered by the brogans of the free-soil help.
But the colored race is in the political and
social ascendant and friend Tuttle came out
of the triplicate struggle, (as is too often the
case, with 'modcst worth)—the under dog
in the fight. It was adjudged, only because.
Tuttle has taken the Gazette consistently and
regularly for ov erforty years, that he was
not more seriously crushed in the melee.
He is now rapidly recovering and reading
his Gazelle with accustomed regularity and
delight.‘

is composed entirely of frame buildings, and
swept over into the best part of the city,

reported to have been lost. Stringent
measures will now probably be taken for
the prevention cf-such "fires in the future.

A dispatch received here last Tuesday
morning from Saratoga, announcing that
George Mitchell, of “Mitchell Brothers,” had
fatally shot himself, caused no little excite-
meu‘t about town and the “Model Market.”
A hurried search was made for “Lengthy,"
who, up to that moment hadn’t been missed,
ed and surprisedas anybody to find himself
dead-by telegraph. Lengthy insisted he
hadn’t been nearer Saratoga than the “Cal-
istoga," and if he was shot at all, it must have
been in the neck at the last named “favorite
watering place.” Further light on the grave
subject, led to the explanation that the
Mitchell Brothers was a hotel firm of Sara-
tcga. So Lengthy still lives despite theztel-
graph. »

ladies and children of the school, under the
'charge of Miss Davis, was held on Thurs-
day' morning last. The Revs. French,
Parker, Whitney and others were present
and expressed themselves as very much
gratified with the accuracy of the class in
Mental Arithmetic as also with the readi-
ness and neatuess with which problems of
higher mathematics were executedon'tho
black-board. The-class in Physical Geogra-
phy responded to along series of questions
without a single mistake. '
The order and decorum of all the, pupils
during the three hours examination reflect
the highest credit on the management and
discipline maintained by‘MissDa'vis.

On Wednesday afternoon, the single sculi
race was Won by Yale, and the Freshman
race by the young athletes of Princeton Col-
lege. 9 On Thursday, more than twenty
thousand people were at the Lake to view
the University race, nine colleges contest-
ing. The water was declared ,“too rough”
and the race was postponed till Friday,
only to be further postponed until Saturday
morning. Saturday the race came ofi' but
was spoiled by foul conduct. The boats
were crowded too near each other. There
are several versions of the story, but all
agree that Yale was nicely gaining the lead
when suddenly, in contact with Harvard,
her rudder and one oar were broken, and
she was forced to give up the contest. The
New York Evening Post, probably as relia-
ble as any journal, tells the story as follows:
THE START.
“A white pufi‘ of smoke at 10:47 o’clock
told that the signal for starting had been
given, and by the time the sound reached
the stands the flags were up, and all knew,
that the contest had begun. _
All was guesswork for the first ten
minutes, as the boats could not be distin-
guished. Then on the signal stand Colum-
bia’s flag was run up, with Harvard, Trinity
and Princeton in order, and loud and pro,-
lor'ilged cheers rang out. . .
hree minutes later the flags showed Yale
in advance, with Columbia and Harvard
following. The" crews then became distin-
_ . guishablo, seemingly in a .bunch, more than
an miiedcfw elake. , . ,

thirty-four strokes to the minute and kept it

In the presc'nt dull times, it is ver ,grati-
fying to learn, as we do from no ose au-
thoritative a'sourco than the NewYork
Journal of Commerce, that the statistics
show thatour foreign trade is steadily and
rapidly increasing, it having almost entirely
recovered from the effects of the late panic,
whichcfi‘ects were plainly perceptible in
the foreign trade‘market as late a'Si;'last

for June showwfifilflher, veryimportant
gain, the receipts of foreign products for
this month, being‘nea'rly thirty-three mil-
Iions,against‘ twenty-nine millions for“ the
same month of last-year. Owing to- the
falling‘ofi' during the firstsix months of the
fiscal year, the total imports for the twelve
months ending with June is more than
years. The New York exports for June
show an unexpected and gratifying increase,
the gain being about five millions upon the
total for the same month of last year,-or by
far the best showing we have had for the
same period for many years. The total ex-
ports f'or the year ending with J uue is‘over
three hundred and fifty millions, and is the
heaviest total on record. The, Journal
closes its review as follows: “ We expected,
with a gain in theimports the last month,
a corresponding decrease in the exports,
and cannot but he, gratified with thereport
now presented. If this gain in the ex orts
continues through the summer and, all it
cannot but add largely to the prosperity of
of the country. It is one of the most en-
couraging aspects of current trade”.
