Borough Meeting.
At the Borough
myself: on Monday;
afternoon it was voted tint thi Water Com-_;
exceeding 34,500 and that amount "was.
voted‘rromnne‘Trs‘s‘sn‘ry 'to eerily" the ex-
penses of said pipe laying.
' ."qui the matter of tapping the main supply
(pipe between the two reservoirs to supply
parties along the line, the subject was led
to the discretion of the Water Commission-
ers. .
,Wo think ..it‘ was an error pf judgment,
’tha’t‘ a'm‘eeting Was net called sometbree
weeks since, immediately .upon the settle-L
‘ment of a basis of compensation for the
water with our Win'nipauk friends. The
beautiful weather would have ofi‘ered most
firmbls condition- for lasinstli'e pipeISnd ,
the work might have all been completed by
this time. Large numbers ofleboring men
have been standing’abont idle or vainly en-
deavoring to exchange their muscle for
bread.‘ It is due to them and it is due to
theta-payers that the workbepnshed'
‘ ‘through note,whilo the labor can be had ‘
«for. hundreds of dollars less than it can
possibly be in the’Spring. ~~ Had it‘not been-‘-
for the stupid yielding of our late demo-
cratic Legislature to ‘the dictation of the
New York &.New Haven Railroad, two
minibus 0f dollars of European capitel
would now be in the course of expenditure
in this :county on. the Parallel Railroad.
Every working man who feels the. times
pinenand‘tne need "or "workgsho'an not: for-
getthis-wickednessz—Every merchant ‘who
looks for trade thorn the earnings of labor-
ers employed, will please bear in mind that
the vast amount of money brought here
from abroad, to build the contemplated
road, would have 'kept everything brisk in
this end. of the State for at least two years
to come. All this present dearth Brem-
ploymeut, all. our present stagnation'in
nsiness is directly chargable to the action
4 the‘ last democratic legislature acting in
the interests of our great monopoly rail-
read. ' ~
. ‘We would do no injustice to our oppon-
ents. There were many noble examples of
independence exhibited by the democratic
members from this section. Bruggerhotf
of Darien, Morehouse of Wilton, Purdy, of
New Canaan, Elwood of Westport, stood
by the new enterprise and consistently
voted major they-poorglaboring men;
while poor Senator 0artsr,— that “rising
young Statesman,” whose fut'nre'i‘s now all
thebuttle waxed hot. We thinkthe labor-
ing masses of Fairfield County will have a
few troublesome 'cond'ndrumsjto ask of such
“ friends of' the laborer". as this Senator
Carter, before'they cast their snfi'rages‘ again.

The Union S. 8. Convention to be held in
the 2d M. E. .Church‘ Wednesday "of ‘ this
week, promises to be an occasion of rare in-.
terest. Commencing at half past nine in
the morning. every moment till 5:10 in the
afternoon is filled up, (excepting one hour
for dinner) with questions and discussions
upon subjects which are practical and im
, portant. The ladies are making ample pre-
parations for dinner and tea, spreadingithe
tables in the lecture room of the church.
The evening session will be, we judge,
especially interesting to parents, whether
Sunday School teachers or not. Dr. Peltz
has a national reputation as a Sunday
School worker, and we doubt, not will in-
terest all classes in speaking upon the sub-
ject “Training the Child.” '
I. O. of G. T.—-Norwalk Lodge, which has
heretofore held its meetings at South Nor-

Societies should not occupy the same rooms,
which they can do to excellent advantage.

At the annual meeting of the Danbury
and Norwalk ’Railroad company held in
the Horse Railway Office on last Thursday,
the following were elected directors for the
ensuing year: R. P. Flower, H. H. Hollis-
ter, W. C. Street, W. K. James, James W.
Hyatt, Orrin Benedict, L. P. Hoy‘t, D. P.
Nichols, E. S. Tweedy. The board then
elected the following: President, R. P.
Flower, of New York City; Vice-President,
out, John W. Bacon, of Danbnry; Secretary
a asurer, H. Williams, of Danbury;
E ive Committee, W. C. Street, H. H.~
Hollister, and Orrin Benedict; Auditing
Committee, D. P. Nichols, Edgar S.- Tweedy
and L. P. Hoyt. , '
The. Directors declared a quarterly divi-
dend of one and one-half per cent., payable»
December 20th, and expected to continue
quarterly dividends, in future. The com-
pany have 'no floating debt, and have cash
.on handi'sufhéifenyto paythejdividend, and?
to deposit in Trust Company six months in-
terest on their bonds in advance. 4
After the conclusion .of-‘the Board-meet-

Considerable excitemement has been
caused about South Norwalk on account of
a peculiar and fatal illness breaking out in
lhe large boarding house recently occupied
by Mr. anney Buckley. Nearly every
member of lhe family has been more or
lessaflicted. Mrs. Buckley died some liltie
time since, and on Friday. last Mr. Buckley
also died, yhile a daughter,—‘nnt,ll her ill-
ness teacher in theCenter Districtschool,
—now lies very dangerously ill. The case
has developed the fact that a loose, porous,
gravelly soil has allowed "a filteration from
the kitchen cess-pool into the well,from
which water for the family was used. Then

doubt caused a vitiated atmosphere which
increased the terrible scourge. This seems
proven‘ by the fact that only those who
slept on the ground floor have heenserions-
ly effected. It is too late to repair the fatal
results in this case, but it should serve asn
warning to all- out: people:to,_o“x‘ercisetlr‘e
most rigid sanitary measures with reference
to. drainage, because of the porous nature
‘of our soil. Too much care cannot be tak-
en abput cleanliness generally now that so-
prevalent a malarious condition exists all '
over the country. '
On Monday night of last week, shunt 0

proved to be on White’s Propeller wharf,

A consultation has, been held with the

pressed a desire totake part in the meetings
so that their city. mayipartake of the bless- ’
iugs which have been given to these gather-
tags, which have beenopen to all interested
in the cause of temperance. It has Where-
fore been judged best to change the arrange-
ment of time and place for holding these
meetings. Hereafter the meetings will al-
ternate between Norwalk and South Nor-
walk, going from the Congregational church
here to the Congregational church there,
then‘fo the Methodilt’ and Baptist inturn.
The time’has been ‘ohanged so as to make
the meetings s'em‘iémbnthly‘, that is, once a
month in each place. ' We'regret this change
for once a weelt was none too often for the
success of the meetings. The next meeting

now is the time to fill up the subscriptions.
By the terms or the charter, each member,

ested in the success of the society should
subscribe at once, by calling upon the

Duringjthe past few weeks quite a number
of strangers have been in town inquiring for
residences end desiring to purchase real es-
tate. The prevailing ff hard times”, have
caused great numbers: in the city to seek
less expensive homes in the country, and
' ‘ this-no doubt accountsin'part for the pres-
ent inquiry here. But we oplne the knowl-
edge, which is beginning to become spread
abroad, of the unrivaled loveliness of the
natural scenery in and about Norwalk, the
general characterot‘ our people for enter-
prise, thrift, and solid integrity, with all the
needs of the most advanced civilization,
«be, which :we can supply, have vastly more
to do with attracting new residents here
than all things else. This is a most favor-
able time for the purchasers of real estate
here. Many very eligible building lots and
a. few very desirable dwellings can be had
at prices ranging'lower than at any time
since the war, while the incentives for
building have never been more-favorable.
Labor is abundant and‘cheap, and lumber
and materials for house building extremely
low. Quite a number of our citizens are
availing themselves of these condition and
have commenced the erection of houses.
There is double, if not quadruple the build-
ing going on here now, that there has been
in any time within the past two years.
There is a solid element of thriftand rec-
g. ognized.prosperity pervading, Norwalk that
always saves us from paralysis or panic
during any lung prevailing business stagna-
tion elsewhere.

Oar-theses Firs Insurance-coon»
have, exhibited . a business sagaclty and
courage, in rethreuce‘ to the Chicago Under-
writers’ war, which must result in a great
augmentation cf their already remarkable
business success. A partisan ring which
got hold of the city government of, Chicago
had persistently refused to avail themselves
ofsuch modern appliances: and securities
against fire, and a majority of’the Under-
writers of the country» combined and
nnitedly refused to decline all furth
business‘in that city. The ruin to business
men, especially to the large consigners of
grain, who had been able to transaot their
enormous business only 'by reason of the
loans-the Banks were able to make them on
their gain in hand, covered’by its insurance,
was nearly absolute. Other merchants
buying goods on time, and the country in
general, all innocent of the city govern-
ment's folly, were brought up to a sudden
stand still, or shoved over to the verge of
ruin. In this state of things,our Company.
resolved that it would not decline any
reasonable risks, but wdnld continue to in-
sure there'just as it andall other compa-
nies ever had done. It required courage to
do this, as it was sure to. arouse the active
hostility or every competing company
which had united in the combination. F But
we have knoweiedge of the fact that their
action is well known and gratefully appre-
ciated by the helpless business men of that
great city. Nor are they ignorant of the
fact that no company is better able to turn-
ish them reliablesecurity for all they un-
dertake to underwrite. Our Company re-
solved npon its present action afler mature
deliberation, and more from a sense of jus-
tics and in a spirit of fair play to th .. cus-
tomers in Chicago, than any desire} 0 gain
a temporary business advantage over com-
peting companies of the Insurance combi-
nation. >We rejoice at their’vwise‘and‘jdst
action in reference to Chicago, for we can
see no use for such organizations if they be

bor of ther-‘husbandmau; the land-has been
free from pestilence; internal order is being
maintained, and -pcace..wittr other powers
has prevailed. It is fitting that at stated
periods we should cease from our accustom-
ed pursuits and from the turmoil of daily
lives and unite in ,thnnkfuluess for the bless-
ings of the past'and in the cultivation of
kindly feelings toward each other.
Now, therefore, recognizing these consid-
erations,'I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of
tee United States, do recommend to all citi-
zens to desemble in their respective places
of'worship on Thursday, the Bath day of
November next, and express their thanks
for the mercy and favor of Almighty God,
and laying aside all political contentious
and all secular occupat'ous to observe such a

2 At the meeting of the ‘ joint Boards of
Selectmen and School Visitors,‘ held on
Monday evening of last week, the estimates
of expenses of the various districts for the
current year were approved. The total
amount allowed is 328.090.”, which is near-
ly $1,700 more than called for last year. Of
this increase more than one-half seems to
go to the South" Norwalk Union District.
We‘ were in hopes that the estimates for the
coming year would.not be allowed to exceed
those .of last ,year, but under the present
School system—or rather lack of system-
we shall probably have a steady increase
from year to year. . It is time for a change.
