Dm,.Gang‘13Tntf-,Far up Within a pic-
fairesmle and romantic basin of the White
TimufilaiumougeJies ‘f. Locke Manor,” the
place of otir'prescnt sojourn. That artists
and poets have sought out this locality of
all the other wild and beautiful hamlets of
the great pine tree and toe producing state,
we do not wonder. Beauty, freshness, and
wildness of landscape and scenery impress
one On every side, and from year to year
the numbers have increased who hie them-
selves hither to breathe the cool, invigorat-
ing mountain air, and drink in wild nature
in its lnost fascinating aspects. Beside a
bright and cheerful white birch fire, we
send you greeting dowu by the sultry saline
shores of old Nor-walk. The route hither
is via the Eastern o‘r Maine R. R. from Bos-
ton to Portland. Here we change to the
Grand Trunk Railway and ride seventy
miles westward, or to within about ten
miles of the New Hampshire border of
Maine. If a. sea voyage is desired in com-
bination, one can start from New York per
the outside steamer line to Portland and
thence by rail to Bethel. There is a quaint
beauty and charm in the scenery all along
'the Grand Trunk railway, which connects
the River St. Lawrence with Atlantic waters
at Portland harbor. For the first few miles
out of Portland we traverse the green and
iertilc valleys of the Presumpscott, the
Royal and Little Androscoggin rivers. A
large pond or lake, the source of the latter
stream, is also passed, with two natural
falls supplying such an inexhaustible and
undeveloped water ppwer as would make a
Connecticut manufacturer yearn for its
transfer to our active and productive state
where spring brooks and summer dried
streams are eagerly caught up. When
nearing Bethel we strike the Great Andros-
eoggin river and the most romantic valley,
git-ted by the highest mountains in all New
England. Here mountains Adams, Jeffer-
son and Washington‘show their fall blue
peaks bathed in the soft purple of the
western sky, and lesser elevations rise all
about you and pierce the clouds and throw,
all sorts of fantastic shadows on the hill-
side fields about you. The combinations of
mountains, forests and rivers are so happily
blended in almost endless variety and into
close little vistas, that it gives the painter
an unusually favorable opportunity of copy-
ing nature" in its most fascinating moods.
The artist’s umbrella, aisle and sketch-book
greet you on every knoll overlooking one
of these special points of beauty. Here we
met our old friend E. C. Stedman, the erst
Connecticut editor, but new the “Poet
Broker” of Wall street. Here he woes
the muses for the mere satisfying of his
mental cravings, and writes graphic letters
to the Tribune and essays and sketches for
Scribner and the magazines. He has dis-
tinguished himself here by most'extraordi-
nary and unprecedented exploits in trout-
catching. As Stedman is authority on.
American Trout Fishing, we are prepared
to believe him when he tells us that this is
in the cent.) of the best trout region of the
continent. He has fished more streams
athan any man in the country,'and his “files”
skip and skim the troutbrooks as enthusi-
astically and blithely as poesy drips from
his vigorous pen. In a trip of three days,
accompanied by his little son of twelve
summers, he took seventy-five pounds of
these speckled humming-birds of the'moun-
lain streams. He. kept our two hotels and
all “'inquiring friends” on a. full trout diet
for a week. A Brooklyn gentleman,a board-
er with us at Locke Manor, caught over
three hundred in one day’s fishing last
week, and kept our “ happy family" in rap-
tures for days. The best season for trout-
fishing is now over, and not till September
first will they again be in their prime.
Trout fishing and art sketching are not
the only enjoyments of- this locality. We
are on the direct' route to Dixville Notch
and Lake Umbagog, which Starr King pro-
llounces the most charming ride in Ameri-
ca. ' Here parties form raids upon Mt.
Washington, twenty-six miles distant. One
day is taken for an easy ride to the Tip-top
House, a supper, sleep and breakfast'there,
with the ecstaey of its mountain sunset
and sunrise and then a comfortable ride
home the next day, and the White Moan--
tains are “ done” thoroughly, economically,
and most enjoyably. ‘
Time is fully employed in delightful
rambles and rides. The youngsters of the
flock divide their time in catching grass-
hoppers and then the trout, and berrying
on the mountain sides. The most luscious
raspberries and blueberries grow with in-
digenous profusion. Croquet and parlor
games supply ample entertainment for the
invalids of your party, while birch-bark
hanging. baskets, napkin rings and trinkets
absorb those of more active tastes and ca-
pabilities. -
The air is clear, cool, and highly rarified.
It stimulates the appetite and promotes di-
gestion, but is not as conducive to sleep
as the heavier atmosphere of the sea shore
. with its more constant phosphorescent diet.
Nearly every well-to-do farmer's mansion is
turned into a summer boarding house. and.
nearly all are well filled. Every year in-
creases the numbers who congregate here.
Good, substantial New England fare, served
in a frank, honest way, with lamb, eggs.
cream] and chicken, ad libitum, is furnished
all the way from three to ten dollars per
week. Horse hire still, remains at about
the figures ruling.in Connecticut a half
century ago, with the tendency “ upwards”
as the demand increases. Sensible, cultur-
ed and agreeable people greet you on every
hand. The other classes, whose year's am-
bilon is to exhibit elaborate wardrobes and
cxtravagances in jewelry and expenditure,
naturally avoid Bethe]. For direction to
our present and agreeable quarters we are
indebted to Rev. Augustus Beard. He has
been here for rest and recuperation for sev-
eral years, as thousands of other thorough-
ly sensible people have done. To us the
real and genuine elements of delight here
are that one, can find rest. Rest for body
' and brain,in the most free and easy way.
All nature surrounds you with beauty and
grandeur, the softest air of evening spiced
with the healthful aromas of mountain
pines, the ripple of trout-brooks adown the
hillsides singing gurgling songs of mi, rest.
Come hither, weary, oVerw‘orked Wight, and
swing with us in our lazy hammock, and
“ read up" the delightful Works long ago
put aside because of the hurry and strain of
our intense home life. And as the eye
wearies with the printed page and glances
monntainward or heavenward, your .heart
instinctively adopts the Psalmist’s exclama-
tion of adoration: “ How beautifill are Thy
works, oh‘Lord of Hosts! 'In wisdom and
power hast Thou created all things.” B.
The Beecher-Tilton case is apparently
no nearer settlement than it was last week.
Frank Moulton, an all-important witness
who has‘hitherto made himself very con-
spicuous is now strangely absent at the time
when he is really wanted, and Mr. Beecher
keeps bnck‘what he ought to have given
_to the public long ago. Mrs. Tilton
has given more damaging testimony against
her husband which much weakens his case,
but unfortunately her testimony is of little
value to herself from the fact that she admits
that she signed some papers prepared by
Tilton in order to “keep peaccin the family."
and some others at his dictation of whose con-
tents she knew nothing, and those are just
the documents telling against Mr. Beecher.
Whichever way the case goes it is evident .
that Tilton,rthe accuser, can never regain
the good opinion of the public. He is
another genius wrecked.

allied on Saturday last, from the Danbury

York, with a heavy load of cut atone design-
ed for the foundations of the New Evening
Post building, now being erected on the
corner of Broadway and Fulton Street. This
building is to be twentyrsix feet below the
walk and ten stories above, rendering it
necessary for foundations of great strength
During the loading of the vessel this stone
attracted much attention, and many of our
citizens walked down to the wharf to sp -
ially examine it. The stone was cut to or-
der in blocks twelve inches thick, varying
in size according to the figures of the speci-
fications. One block measured 11 feet, 6
inches by 7 feet and was designed‘for a cor-
ner stone in the first course. Many others
were six and seven feet square. The stone
is hard and firm, but splits up splendidlly.
It is of a light grey color and handsome for
building stone. It came from the great Rox-
bnry quarry, on the Shepaug Road. The
quarry is located by the side of the Railroad
and a side track has been constructed on
which the cars are loaded ;~ arriving here
they are switched ofi‘ on a side track and
run alongside the vessel, when the stone is
transferred by means of a heavy derric
With such splendid stone and good facilities
for getting it into market, the quarry ought
to become very valuable property.

Mrs. Hannm'r Puma Swan, whose

is affectionately remembered by the older
members of the First Congregational church,
as the wife of one of their beloved pastors,
the sixth in the honored succession, his
predecessors having been Thomas Hanford,
(1652-1093); Stephen Buckingham, (1697-
1737); Moses DiCkiuson, (1727-1778); Wil-
liam Tennent, (1705-1772, Colleague); Ma-
thias Burnet, D. D., (1785—1800). Roswell
R. Swan was pastor 1807-1819. The graves
of the last two are on Town House Hill.
During the twelve-years of Mr. Swan’s
able and faithful ministry here, 284 persons
were added to the church: 173 by profes-
sion, of Whom 120 in the year 1816. He

Thu Trip at Sea.
Enrroas on Gazkm :—1f the vain-glori-
ous and valiant men, (since they reached
dry land), that composed most of the party
that set sail last week for the camp grounds,
on Long Island’s sea girt shore, and didn’t
get there, would boast less and tell more
truth and fewer lies,they would appear quite
as well in the estimation of those that
knew the facts of this trip at sea ; although
scared party that ever went to sea in a bowl.
The friends of the gas-men, water-men,
joiners, carriage-makers. etc., would like to
know what brought them so suddenly on
deck with white gills and bilious stomachs
off Shippan Point, from their station below
as ballast, and why the canal schooner was
so suddenly put about for home, sweet
home. Perhaps it was only an endeavor to
frighten those that remained on deck, and
defied the wind and waves, but my private
opinion is that they would willingly have
given all their old clothes to have been set
down on dry land, even in a potato patch.

Our great city is now
quiet, the city ofiicers having been elected
and “Council” organized this year without
a “dam—manus” and its consequent expense
and dis; race, but it has not seemed possible
to find “competent men” to fill the various
lucrative and important ofi‘ices in the gift of
the Common Council, outside their number.
It has been a wonder, continued since the
city existed, that the Assessor, Auditor and
Street Commissioner should be members of
the council. But wonders never cease. The
wonder continues. Two of these iinportanj
offices are filled from the ranks of the Conn-
cilmeu—one by election and one by ap-
pointment—and now only one remains to be
filled which probably will soon be done by
selecting another of the council. The great
contest has been over the appointment of
the police—especially the chief; applica.
tions, were as numerous as the councilmen.
Men who were in permanent and ludrativc
positions as employees of the railroad com-
pany, were wil 'ng to sacrifice such posi-
tions for the ifitant position of “Chief.”
The selection of 'ongof these was made and
advertised in our local paper; most of the
councilmen saw the point but’did not take,
so on Monday evening of last week they
ventured to make their choice instead of the
one selected by said journal, and we have
now a new man for the position, while one
of the old police force—a non resident—is
retained. The new council are doing Well,
having elected a new City Attorney, one
who “dwells among us” and has no free pass
on the railroad. We trust that he will aid
in ridding the city of several nuisances, such
as “hog peas in our midst under church
windows," and enforce other ordinances
which our late officials were negligent of.
Trusting that you will sympathize with
us in our trials and Taxes we hope to help
you in the “Parallel” nexli'year.
. Yours truly,

fi'om the Sea Cliff Camp Meeting, L. I., on
Saturday last, Aug. 1st, when near City
Island, with a party of friends on board
from that. place, including a “Jonah” on
passage for Norwalk, and who, upon this
occasion, as in a like instance upon record
of old, proved a source of trouble and dis:
aster; differing in this case, however, by
the carrying suddenly overboard by a flaw
of wind the entire rigging, sails and spars,
only, and leaving the stump of the mast
standing about eight feet above deck. The
ladies naturally for a few minutes were
somewhat frightened, but were soon inspir-
ed with rcnewed confidence by the prompt
action and commendable coolness of Cap-
tain James Baker, who immediately called
to his aid a steam-tug just then passing
near, which succeeded in towing in the dis-
abled vessel to anchorage near City Island
dry dock. Afier about two hours delay in
securing on heard his damaged rigging, the
captain lauded the entire party safe and un-
injured, who at once proceeded home by
land with the strengthened conviction of
the impracticability of taking to the water
in such cases, and' where smooth and an-
interrupted transit is desirable ; besides dem-
ofistratiug some advantages in favor of
term. firpla, even when viewed ill the light
and sense of camping expeditions, the pop-
ular opinion and practice, especially at
this season of the year, to the contrary not:
withstanding. Coax.

The well-known New York Circus, re-
turning from its eastern trip, is to stop at
Norwalk next Friday and give two per-
formances. This circus has long been a
favorite with our amusement-lovers, and its
reputation has been well earned. We
know nothing of its performances thifiear,
but judge from the following. which we
copy from the Boston Post, that the show is
as attractive as ever :—
“The troupe contains first-class artists
enough to stock half a dozen of the ordi-
nary shows claiming to be the best in the
would, and the immense audiences attracted
to the refined entertainments are fully as
respectable and fashionable as can be seen
in any place of amusement, while the
crowds of people nightly turned away for
the want of room is ample evidence that
the New York Circus is the most. popular
and attractive arenic institution that vklits

account of the encampment of the Fourth

The latest scandal comes up from that

A dispatch to the Boston Advertiser says:
“ For several weeks there has been a good
deal G scandal in connection with a Mr.
Vinson, of Edgartown, and S. K. Elliott, of
Worcester, who have occupied a cottage in
company with two married women belong-
ing to Edgartown. These men have been
threatened with a coat of tar and feathers,
and Vinson, fearing trouble, left the island
some weeks ago. Sunday night; at about
eleven o’clock, a party of men went to the.
cottage and calling out Elliott, after a con-
siderable struggle forced him into a wagon
in which was a pot: of tar and a bag of
feathers. Elliott drew a revolver and fired
twice, the second shot killing Caleb Smith,
brother of the two women. The re art of
the pistol frightened the horse, which ran
away, and threw the whole party from the
wagon, when Elliott escaped and surrender-
ed himself to the authorities.”

The Conneticut legislature drops the par-
allel railroad business and leaves it as it is.
Whatever be the merits or demerits of the
new line, it is certainly a great scandal that
the general railroad law should be framed
in a manner to cut ed a particular project
by any such device as a bridge clause, inde-
fensible on grounds of public policy. We
like to see strict railroad laws, and there
was one proposed which required the con-
struction of all new road-beds entirely out
of capital stock and limiting the amount of
bonds, which would have been very safe.
But ththate cannot ptetcnd to have a. gen-
eral railroad law, so, long as the bridge
ela use throttles the Parallel project—Spring-
