1170 and 1870.
We get a hint of what our own town
might do from a timely article in the Palla-
dium'on the subject of. our Centennial cele-
bration. Norwalk has had no 4th of July
observance for several years. The last pub-
lic celebration was successful and creditable
to our public spirit, liberality and patr-otism.
It cost us, if we riglrly remember, some fif-
teen hundred dollars. The town made an
appropriation for a portion of the expense,
and our citizens subscribed the major por-
tion, individually. Now as we approach
our centennial celebration, we would sug-
gest that instead of 'a foolish expenditure of
money fer dinners and bell dinging, for fus-
tian and fire-crackers, fervid and paiddcr
oratory and fire-works, brass bands and
banners that we subscribe to a fund for a
Soldiers’ Memorial Monument, which shall
on that day receive appropriate dedication,
and which shall for all coming time plead
rememberance for the brave boys who laid
down their lives for the salvation of the
nation. An Organization already exists
with this object in view, and we believe
our citizens only need to have their atten-
tion called to so grateful an act of justice to
the memory of our slain soldiers, and the
fitting chance of perpetuating our town’s
glory and honor as well,—to give a new
and successful impulse to the proposition.
Now is the time to start the enterprise, that
the shaft may be wrought and set in time for
a general 4th of July commemoration and
dedecatiou in 1876.
The Full-field County Bank.
This Bank has concluded fifty years of
its existence. The books of subscription
to the capital stock of the Bank were open-
ed on Tuesday, July 13th, 1824. From the .
following article which we copy from our
files, of July 20th, 1824, it will be seen that
the Bank not only started off with flattering
prospects, but also that the enterprise had
met with the usual amount of opposition:
On Tuesday last the books of the Fair-
field County‘Bank were opened rn tins
town for the purpose of reeervingbnbscrrp~
tions to its capital stock; and as up evr-
dence of the confidence which capitalists
and men of business place in the future
prosperity of this institution, arising from
its superior location, &c., it may be men-
tioned that aéhhough the capital stock rs
limited to $1 ,000, yet before the close of
the day near $800,000 were subscrrbed.
The directors of the bank are to be chosen
on the 26th inst.,and it is presumed that
the business will be commenced as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be made.
Notwithstanding the labors of our cor-
respondents to prove that the banking sys-
tem is injurious to .society, and a fearful
engine of destruction to the welfare of in-
dividuals and to our republican institutions ;
and in spite of the opposition which has
been manifested towards this bank from
certain quarters, there is good reason for
believing that, if rightly managed, it will
be not only a source of profit to the holders
of its stock, but a convenience to the pub-
lic, and advantageous to the town in which
it is located.
At the meeting held on the 26th of July,
1824, the following gentlemen were chosen
Directors z—Henry Belden, Moses Gregory,
Ebenezer J esup, William J. Street, William
St. John, Clark Bissell and David Holly.
A “branch" was established at Danbury
with the following Directors; Samuel Twee-
dy, Zalmon Wildman, David Foot, Friend
Starr, Daniel Comstock, William Hawley
and William Meeker.
Henry Belden was chosen the first Presi-
dent, and J. J. Barnard, of New Haven,
Cashier. The Bank commenced business
in aroom in Charles Thomas’s building,
near the Norwalk Hotel.

The regular annual meeting of the N or-
walk Gas Light Company was held on
Tuesday afternoon last. Asmany additions
and improvements have recently been com-
pleted at the works, the Directors were de-
sirous of having the stockolders make per-
sonal inspection of the Works and therefore
extended special invitatiOns to them to at-
tend and view the company’s properly.
. That the examination and reports were sat-
isfactory is evident from the fact that the
old board of Ofilcers was elected with the sin-
gle exception that W. C. Street, Esq, was
chosen a director in place of C. G. Dean, re-
moved to New York. A clam roast engi-
neered by Supt. Handford, was also freely

In the examination of the tramps, at
Soutll Norwalk, last week, one of their
strange practices was brought to light.
Ex.—Mayor Ely noticed that Dougherty had
a bad sore on one arm. He was directed
to pull up his sleeve, when'his arm'was
found badly burnt on top; the
other .arm was found the same way.
He said that it was done while laboring in
an iron rnill down east. Another tramp
was examined, and one arm was found to
be burnt in the same way, but healed,while
the other was almost raw—a sight to behold.
After sharp questioning he admitted that it
was one of their common practices fOr de-
luding people and obtaining charity.
The annual School meeting of the Center
District was held on Friday evening" last.
The attendance was much larger than cus-
tomary, and great interest was manifested
in the proceedings, especially in the election
- of committee. The meeting was called to
order by the clerk, M r. Lewis Hubbell. Mr.
Martin S. Craw was chosen Moderator.
The report of the committee and the Treas-
urer’s Report were full and complete, and
seemed to be generally satisfactory. The
election of officers resulted as follows: Com-
mittee, J. W. Pinkney, James G. Gregory,
Charles H. Street; Treasurer, Wm. K.
Lewis; Clerk, Lewis Hubbell; Collector.
Charles Olmstead. Mr. Lewis stated that he
had served the District as clerk and treasu-
rer for the period of twenty-one years and
desired to be excused from further service,
but as the desire for him to continue was
unanimous he finally consented to a re elec-
tion. The retiring committee have left the
School in a thoroughly excellent condition,
and the new committee will undoubtedly
labor to maintain its present high standing
and to still further increase its prosperity
and usefulness.

It will be remembered that some doubt
was expressed last s ring as to the course
likely to be taken by r. Charles M. Pond
on the Southington railroad matter, incase
he happened to be returned to the Senate.
The convention which placed him in nomi-
. nation gavea decided expression Of Opin-
ion, and requested his views in writing,
which he gave, approving tire resolutions.
He even went so far as to name the pro-
ceedings at Southingtou as such as he would
condemn in his action as a legislator. NO
doubt Mr. Pond secured by this promise
many votes that would have been withheld.
When‘ the matter came up in the Senate,
Thursday, Mr. Pond voted against Plants-
ville, and thus advertised the exact market
value of .his ante-election pledges—Hart-
ford Post.
[8' But isn’t Mr. Pond a director in the
sixteen million monopoly railroad, and,
shouldn’t it be remembered that two di-
rectors of that corporation are thrust into
the legislature to serve—not the people, but
the monopoly! Perhaps the people will
get their eyes open after having become a
by-word and hissin throughout the nation
as New Jersey was in the days of Camden

J..A. Brown, J. C. Crowe,~nnd W. S. r ‘u-
ton. They viewed the remains, and then
had the body conveyed to the Truck House
for further examination. No marks could
be found upon the body to indicate violence-
. A post mortem examination was made by
Drs. Pardee and Hill, and internal injuries
were found which the Doctors thought oc-
casioned her death. She evidently died
very suddenly. On Thursday, a Mrs. Wil-
liams, living nearRound Hill, testified that
she came up the road afrernoon before and
saw a man striking the woman. She re-
monstrated with him, when he tried to get
up, as she thought to chase her, so she pru-
dently made off and as soon as she reached
home went back with her son and found
the woman dead. She identified one of the
tramps who gave his name as Patrick
Dougherty as the guilty man. Young Mor-
ton also recognized the same man as the
one he had seen striking the woman.
The examination of the jury seems to
have been sharp and thorough. They
brought in a verdict that the woman, Mar-
garet Davis, came to her death by injuries
received from the hands of Patrick Dough-
erty.. '
On Friday the tramps were all examined
by Judge Craw. Patrick Daugherty was
bound over to the Superior Court for trial
On the charge of murder. Peter Lewis,
Bridget Dalton, and Mary Sullivan, alias
Dutch Mary, were sentenced sixty days for
vagrancy. and Peter and Bridget $3 for
drunkenness. The old man, John Gale,
who was not with the party at the time of
the murder, was set free. The victim was
about 65 years of age, and was on herway
to Norwalk village with another woman to
sell berries. As soon as she was found to
be dead the other woman walked off tow-
ards Darien, and was arrested next morning
by Constable Waterbury, of that place.
Dougherty isa young man, and a very
rough looking fellow. He staid in-the vicin.
ity until arrested, and probably committed
the deed when he was too drunk to know
what he was doing. The body was buried
by the Town. '
KILLED.—On Thursday morning last, the
7.45 train down, from South Norwalk, ran
over and killed a man just this side of
Darien Depot. Both legs were cut cfi‘ and
his skull was fractured. The body was
brought to South Norwalk. Tire engineer
states that the man suddenly came out from
some bushes at the side of the road, and
walked to the track just ahead of the train;
he whistled an alarm butcould not stop the
engine soon enough to avoid‘the collision.
Two letters were found on his person, writ-
ten in German, from which it would appear
that his name was Jacob Trom, that he had
been in this country three months, could get
no work, and was negotiating for a return
passage to Germany. On his person were
found a five cent piece, a comb, satchel key,
and handkerchief. He was seen in that
vicinity early that morning and seemed to
be sober. ~

LETTERS [non THE PEOPLE.
The summer is passing away slowly and
our'gay young men and women are enjoy-
ing themselves in the pleasant pastimes suit-
able for the season,such as pic-nics, boat.
sailing and sea bathing.
The ladies enjoy the pic-Dies the best,
while our young men delight in taking a
good bath and they are always careful to go
where the ladies can have a full view of
their expert motions. When they cannot
win the girls’ hearts any other way they try
to do so by showing what good swimmers
they are.
It is very well for men to take a good sea
bath as I am sure some of them need it
badly, and a good bar of castile soap, but I
hardly think it is right for them to make
such a display before females, and besides
salt water is not the best to clean those dirty
creatures; they had better stay home and
put on a good boiler of water and use plen:
ty of washing soda, and then when they
w cut swimming they would not have to stay
scrubbing themselves so long. They would
be surely more apt to win the hearts of those
they are trying to by their expertness.
And they must remember a brazen assur-
ance disgusts women while amodestcar-
riage acts quite the reverse. Susan ANN.
Professor Donaldson has at last succeed-
ed in making a respectable balloon voyage.
Going up from Barnum’s hippodrome,
Friday afternoon with five newspaper,re~
porters, he was favored with lovely weather
and a gentle wind and sailingalong a few
hundred feet from the ground, alighting for
refreshments twice before dark, and con-
tinuing the journey all night. A pleasant
feature of one of the stops was a call upon
Miss Charlotte Thompson, the actress, at
Ramapo, N. J., where, after a brief enter-
tainment, Miss 1‘. was taken on board and
iveu a two miles ride. In the morning a
anding was effected at Germantown, near
Hudson, N. Y., where three of the passen-
gers were dropped and the air-shipthen
continued its course. A drag rope was left
trailing for a hundred feet on the ground,
and marked the path of the balloon by
breaking telegraph wires, and fences,
knocking down chimneys and tearing
shingles off from roofs.- One intelligent
citizen whose roof and chimney was thus
demoralized, rushed to his wrndow and
discharged'a gun at his unknown enemy.
Bills for damages will beforwarded to Mr.
Barnum—Comant.

Bow to Bridge the Housatonlc.
A new way for the Parallel road to cross
the Housatonic river, is proposed. It is
said that trains will cross without a bridge,
by means of an invention which has been
put into practical operation in France dur-
ing the past year. Abutments are built on
each bank of the stream to be crossed, and
an excavation is made at the bases toa
point below the bottom of the river bed. In
this excavation is placed a contrivance—a
sort of caission, on wheels, resting on tracks
laid one level with the river bed, and a
stationary engine is attached to it. This
caisson may be adjusted to any height of
the tide. A train approaches, is switched
on to the caisson. the engine rolls it across
to the opposite side, and the caisson sub-
sides, leaviug the river and its channel in
no way obstructed, and open at all times to
navigation. Plans for a structure of this
kind have just reached New York from
France, and will be submitted to the direc-
tors of the proposed road.

We desire to add our congratulations to
those which Mr. Fessenden is receiving on
all sides for the very brilliant speech which,
he made in the House yesterday on the Par~
.allel railroad matter. It was truly an extra-
ordinary efi‘ort, and was recognized and ac-
knowledged as such by the friends and Op-
pouents of the road alike. Mr. Fessenden is
still a young man, being on] twenty-six
years of age, and it is no sum 1 honor for
him to have made, as he doubtless has, the
ablest speech of the session. He is, a really
fine orator, and evidently has a bright future
before him. The effect of his plea was im-
mediate and decisive in the House, as was
shown by the abundant applause which it
provoked and the large majority obtained
for his side of the question. Mr. Fessenden
has reason to be proud of his success. The
Parallel road subject now goes ack to the
Senate,where it willbeconsidcrc this morn-
ing—New Hanan Cour-rer. .

' Mr. Fessenden—I so: - J .y as to that,"
but there are Parallel .— .;..us about N cw‘ .York
carrying millions of passengers. Mr. Fes-
senden went on to say that all the pow-'
er of this great mono oly, all its wine suppers
furnished and gilde tapestry had been able
to secure only a ma ority, of four in the
Senate on this Paralle question. He spoke
sarcastically of Mr. Bishop as appearing in
the role of morality, even piety, to throttle
this enterprise, endeavoring to hoodwink
the public under the guise of morality to
effect selfish interests. The speaker elo-
quently denied the charge Of fraud against
The Northern Pacific had
been cited as an example of fraud to which
thrs had been likened. The speaker spoke
at length to indicate that the comparison
was upjust. - The immense business of the
New ork road had been spoken of. The
road did not furnish sufilcient freight faciri‘
ties. A Boston firm could not get all its
freight taken. It had applied in vain.
to passenger fares, the road robbed the peo-
ple with high local rates. There wps enough
business for two roads. Again it was not
fair to cry down the road and utter ominous
doubts. The company has complied wrth
the law, and comes and asks what the State
has pled ed to perform. Mr. Stanton was
not the éhattanoo a contractor as stated by
Mr. Bishop, and r. B. probably knew bet-
ter. The contractors of this road are back-
ed p by wealth. Mr. Banlch,oue, of the
coftractorsmuilt a prominent eastern road,
and roads in Canada, and built the Michigan
Central, and received not a dollar in cash
for building the last, receiving all his pay In
bonds and stocks.
Mr. Durand— When you say Michigan
Central I say that that road was built for
cash; entire y for cash.
Mr. Fessenden—Well, if itzwas’ all the mo’re
sympathy for the contractors in the case for,
they were to put in money and run the rrsk
of getting their pay. Now I say give the
laborers of Connecticut a chance to build
the work. ‘
Mr. Stark—Is it not true that the con-
tractors can take $10,000,000 in bonds at the
end of a month, before doing a stroke of
work ? ‘ _
Mr. Fessenden—I do not so understand it.
(Mr. Stark handed Mr. Fessenden the con-
tract.) What does“negotiated for” mean?
It means “procured.”
Mr. .Stark—My dictionary says it means
“bargained for.” ,
Mr. Stark—Is it not so_that these contrac-
trol it? '
build a great enterprise what harm it they
own it to get their just pay for the work.
Now and againthis New York and New
Haven company exercises high handed acts,
which it would not dare do if there was a
competing line. The speaker'- cited a case
for illustration. He arraigned the New York
road as guilty in its internal workings of
fraudulent operations. Two millions sur-
plus earniugshad been converted into stock
and yet the company certified that it was
not so. Mr. Bishop tells you widows and
orphans own their stock, and when you seek
to ascertain who owns it, he tells you to go
to the devil. This bill was concocted to kill the
Parallel read. I trust the Legislature of the
State of Connecticut will brea up this mo-
no oly. All New England interests are in-
vo ved. . _
The speaker was frequently vigorously
applauded in the course of his speech and
noisily applauded at length at its close.
Mr. Stark said there were only eight sub-
scribers from the town of Stamford, -Mr.
Fessenden’s town—for thc.road. All alon
the route towns had subscribed but sma l
sums. The committee Opposed the scheme
as it was deemed a fraud. The campany
was nor legally organized, and this bill pro-
posed tu guard the people from being injur-
ed.
Vote was taken on a motion by Mr. Fes-
senden toindefinitely postpone the bill re-
orter‘. by the majority of the committee.
he motion to postpone indefinitely was
carried -120 to 30. ~
The question now was upon the accept-
ance of the minorit bill.
Mr. Robinson, 0 New Haven proposed
an amendment to the minority b' l—that the
company expend one million in cash before
bonds could be issued. Amendment adopt-
ed and minority bill as amended adopted,
loud applause being manifested.

The Parallel road matter being taken up,
Senator Wheeler, of the Tenth, moved that
the Senate adhere.
,Senator Morris opposed this motion, and
said he thought the almost unanimous
action of the House gave evidence as to
what public sentiment demands.
The public demands that the petition by
granted. and who opposes this? Simple
one corporation, who never ought to have
appeared. TWO directors of that road are
on this floor, and hence the road appears as
prosecutor, witness and judge. This is a.
very anomalous condition of things. The
New York road cannot afford to appear
here in that condition. The road is a crea-
ture of this state and should remember that
the creagre is not greater than the creator.
They should take care not to make the peo-
ple Of the state enemies to the road.
Senator Wheeler, of the Seventh—The
people have not spoken, The unanimous
opinion of the respectable part of the press
of this State is against this miserable
scheme. The House knew how the Senate
stood on the question and believer] thata
contrary vote would leave the matter as it
stood before the petition was presented.
Senator Carter wished all to understand
that he had been influenced by no road to
vote as he had. He had been approached
on behalf of the Parallel road, but had seen
no reason to change his vote.
Senator Wheeler, of the Tenth, had
hoped the vote would be taken without re-
marks, but as the gentleman of the Fourth
has seen fit to give the Senate a speech, he
could not help replying in a. word.
The committee had presented facts to
this body, and until they were coutroverted
the Senator should not ask us to change
the vote we have already recorded. The
insinuations made against the directors of
the New York road on this door, are very
unjust. The proposed general railroad law
is all the New York and Eastern road can
ask for if it is honest. It is very stran e if
a Senator cannot tell what he knowsro the
cause he happens to be interested in.
Senator Starr said that friends whom he
esteemed had attempted to induce him to
change his vote in favor of the road. A
large proportion of my constituents are
doubtless in favor of the Parallel road, but
thus far in my life I have not been in the
habit of making personal or political popu-.
larity my motive of action. am informed
that the committee were unable to find
hardly one of good business stapding con-
nected with the road.
Senator Johnson said he had been asked
to change his VOtc. M sympathies were
originally with the Para lel project, as they
always are whenjtheweak are pitted against
the strong. , I heard nearly all the evidence
before the committee and became convinced
that this road was not organized in good
faith and had not complied with the pro-
visions of the law.‘

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
