The Aims House Children question came
up again in town meeting, on Saturday, and
iiiiresulted‘ just as any’ one, with a moment’s
reflection,nipsthave anticipated, after what
ltfiditratléliii‘ediati the two previous town
«fines-tings. wilt was there plain to see that"
;' thg,pr_oper_ty,_the character. and the christian.
I i'ln'ot déhoi‘fiiiiational) feeling 0f th‘is‘commu-
.’ nitymvas tlioroughlytaronsed. Moreover it
was an intelligent awakening, in which the
hearts, the consciences and the deliberate
convictions of our citizens were firmly
moved and set. A condition of things was
found toexist, which is no worse, but if any-
thing’ "better than exists elsewliere,—-still
was a cruel wrong to the helpless children
a dire necessity had forced upon the public
support. They were found to be in all
moral conditions, worse evdn than the heath-
en of the pagan isles of the sea. The wish and
purpose was to embrace a most favorable
opportunity to improve their physical, their
mental and moral beings, and rear them, i
possible, to be self-reapecting, self-sustaining
and useful members and‘ ornaments to
society. No hope or expectation was in-
dulged of any system of proselyting, and
we repent what we have before uttered, we
regret that our Roman Catholic friends, in
a zeal we might otherwise approve, were so
ill-advised as to attempt to force a sectarian
issue, in such an enterprise of sheer humani-
' ty. But the result, we apprehend, will now
be cheerfully acquiesced in, and we have no.
desire to prolong the unfortunate controver-
, sy. They probably never would have en-
gaged in it but for the oficious intermed-
ling,,and ill-advice of some who have,the
itch of office so badly that their judgments
are beclouded.
The proposition made in behalf of the
pastor of St. Mary’s, which we published in
our last, having been denied, as authorita-
tive. we will only say that it came direct to
' us from the source we indicated, and‘did
- honor to the kindness of heart of that func-
tionary.‘ We do not doubt the honesty and
purity of his motives,however much we may
differ as to the wisdom of the proposal, and
on this question no controversy of fact can
be raised between us. Our fi'iends and' our
town officers have now had three opportuni-
ties of witnessing and comprehending the
feelings of our people and it is for'them to
conform to the public sentiment, or failing
to do so, to receive its emphatic rebuke, as
we are sure they will do, upon the first
opportunity .. that aroused sentiment may
have to expi ess itself. .
As to the re being any effort made to
proselyte these children at the Soldiers’
Home we are sure it is all a dream of the
imagination; We feel confident that Father
Smith will be courteously received there on
pastoral visits‘to the children born within
.the faith of his church, as he ever has been
at their degraded and degrading Alms House
home. May we not hope, that, better fed,
better clothed, and better educated, and in
the more elevated atmosphere surrounding
these children in the new home to which
the tax-payers of the town have so emphati-
cally and overwhelmingly remanded them
4-thislittle tempest of opposition may all'
vanish out of sight and all feel that what is
best for them is best for us all and for the
temporal and eternal welfare of the hapless
and helpless little ones. ‘

The Colfax Lecture.
The popular expectation which had, so
long beeii on tip-toe, was fully realized in
the able and eloquent Lecture given us by
Schuyler Colfax on Thursday evening last.
Lockwood’s Hall'was‘filled to ~repletion at
an early hour—many hurrying to their re
served seats a- full hour before the lecture
was announced, apparently fearing that in
the general rush their rights might be inva-
ded and they compelled to stand‘The plat-
form was filled with the elder and more
prominent members 'of Our Brothers’ Lodge
I, O. O. F.,' under whose auspices Mr. Col-
fax appeared. There were delegations from
Ridgefleld, and Bridgeport and Georgetown
Lodges,‘also on the platform. Wc'also ob-
served parties from'Darien, Westport, New
Canaan and Wilton; The speaker was in-
troduced promptly at eight and held his
auditors spell-bound for full an hour and
three- quarters. Atthc close of the lecture
the speaker repaired to the Odd Fellows
Lodge Room in GAZETTE BUILDING, where
a largenumber of ladies and gentlemen
came together foipersonal greetings. After
these. presentations .Mr. 0. took the Noble
Grand’s desk, and related his connection
with the order, and its purposes and benefi-
cent mission. I He lefton thecnrly train on
Friday morning for his home in Indiana,
with the best wishes of a host of warm
friends and'a'rdent admirers bidding him a
God-sliced on his journey. The lecture was
a flattering success in every particular, and
we hope the Odd Fellows will not let this
end their gratifying efforts in'tbis direction.

The fire record, last 'week, was unusually
large, destructive fires occurring all over the
country. The one of greatest severity was
- at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, last Wednesday, a
large part of the place being destroyed, the
damage amounting to nearly $2,500,000,
Early Saturday morning a. fire broke out, in
Montpelier, Vt., which proved quite disas-
trous. About one half of the business por-
tion of the place has recently been destroyed
byfire: Saturday night a fire occurred at
Jacksonville, Florida, 'dcstroying about
$100,000 worth of property. The First
Congregational church of J anesville is‘.,
valued at $60,000, and the Methodistfiich
at Rockport, Mass, valued at $18,00 ere
destroyed. '

We presume the Republicans of New
Hampshire are abundantly able to select
their own candidate for Speaker at their
next House of Representatives, but if they
should decide upon Hon. N. G. Ordway they
will awaken a most favorable interest
throughout the whole country. Mr. Ord-
Way’s long and unblemished service as an
officer of the National House of Represen-
tatives, has given him unusual opportunity
'to qualify himself for so responsible, and
many times trying a position. His unusual
familiarity with all public measures and
men make the opportunity for his selection
one of very rare good fortune for his state,
as it would seem. It cannot be poSsible
among the members elect, to make a first-
class Speaker out of, and it. is from our own
personal knowledge of his peculiar fitness
that. we have thus ventured over state lines
to urge his selection.

The people recently have been very Con-
tennial, Loxingtbn and Concord have been
particularly so, but the great Centennial to
be held in Philadelphia commencing May
10th, 1876, will be the Centennial of Centen-
nials! The buildings are progressing splen-
didly there. Governor Bigler’s Bureau in
New York has been thronged lately with
anxious applicants for space for exhibitor,
and we are happy to inform our readers
that Subscriptions to the stock are fastfi lling
up. A gentleman authorized by Governor
B. will visit our Town some day this week
for the purpose of soliciting subscriptions to.
the stock, which is only $10 per share.
Every one of our business men should at
least take his share, and our wealthy resi-
dents should do more. We think, indeed,
it will be their duty and interest to do so.
We have already secured ours and so Y, “Go

measurement is about 35 tons, carpenters‘

She is expected to carry one hundred and
fifty passengers with safety. IIer machine-

Spelling Matches.
Spelling ltlatch, at Lockwood‘sl—lall, last
Wednesday evening, brought together a
very good audience. The affair was con-
ducted by Mr. Webb, of Providence, who
was concerned in the getting up of“ our
Directory. At first it gave promise of
being a complete failure,-owing to the ex-‘
treme modesty of members of the audience,
who were decidedly disinclined "to volun-
teer." V The first half hour was ,very much
like a revival meeting. By persistent
urging, however, seventeen competitors
were secured, and the spelling commenced.
Mr. Webb pronounced the words, and
Messrs. Pinkney and Gibson officiated as
referees. Words were mostly given from
the Analytical Speller, and with few ex-
ceptions, only such as are in common use.
one of the boys won a beautiful bouquet
for mi'sspelling the first word, and thought
there was no question about his winning it
fairly. The ranks gradually thinned out,
and the prizes were. finally awarded as
follows: I Miss Sarah J. Peck, Down Town
District, a graduate of the Normal School,
Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary; Harry
Hungerford, Center District, Macaulay’s
History of England; H. S. Brown, So. Nor-
walk, Pronouncing Dictionary.
Mr. Webb held another match at the
some place, on Friday evening, which was
also well attended. About thirty persons
competed. Prizes were awarded as follows:
Hooter Youngs, Over River district, Web-
ster’s Unabridged Dictionary ; Win. Sturgcs,
Principal Down Town School, Shakespeare;
Annie D. Peck, Down Town district, Mor-
ris’ Poems; Wm. Clark, same district,Pro-
nounciug Dictionary. Among the words
missed were the following; Fraugible, Plin-
ble, Level,Vei'tical, Skillet, Necessary, Pert-
able, Exhilarating, gravelly, Nutritious, Dc-
bonair, Chancellor, Parlor, Exercise.
Public interest now centers upon the
match announced for Wednesday evening
to be conducted by Mr. Alex. S. Gibson for
the benefit of the Ladies’ Association of the
First ,Congregational church. We shall
look for good management, and strong com-
petition o’n this ‘occasion, and shall be sur-
prised if it does not prove to be-deeply in-
teresting as well as instructive. .- There are
to be two classes, school children and
adults, and the prizes are worth contending
for. Be sure to attend.

Whatever may be said of other sections
of the country, Fairfield county has two
Mayors of whom the nation may feel proud.
'1’. T. Barnum of Bridgeport, recently sub-
mitted a most cogent temperance address to
the Common Council of that city,as an
annual message. Later, while his great
moral show was at Philadelphia, and with
an eye single to morals and—business, he
opened his great tent on Sunday for a mo.‘
stcr temperance 'meeting. The crowds
came and packed the canvass. Also came
P. T. who made the leading and best tem-
perance speech'of the day. But lestbeing
Sunday the people should forget the show,
which was to be opened early on Monday,
and also to start approving applause at the
points in his eloquent address, it is whis-
pered that‘thc great showman had a. man
secreted behind the lion’s cage, with pole in
hand, and whenever an extra dismal narra-
tive of' the horrors ofthc drunkard’s lite and
home were'depictcd, a lungs into the bowels
of the kings of the forest set up a bowl of
agony that made all present quake to their
very toes. Of course the wives and dear
children of all these good temperance audi-
tors had to visit the Hippodrome early Mon-
day morning to see what sort of animals
those could be which had. emitted such
doleful cries at Barnum’s woeful recitals.
But we, also, have a Mayor with an eye to
the moral welfare of his kind and also to—
business. Our Mayor, a democrat too, start-
les the/world to-day by advertising water
for sale. ‘We do not mean water diluted
with a very thin quality of gin or whiskey,
such as is the wont of thoroughly demo-
‘eratic merchants to vend,but water, cold,
pure, and simple. We can now safely af-
firm that Mayor Daskam is the greatest cold
water man in town and we welcome him to
the ranks cf the “Martha Ann” and other
temperance benevolent associations. But
for fear that some innocent may~go insane
in divining how in the world a liunkcrdem-
ocrat can be engaged in any business where-
of cold water is a component part, we will
explain that Mayor Daskam’s, aqueous
fluids are taken from the famous Glen Flora
Springs of Illinois.

Return or Not-walk,» Favorite.
On Friday and-Saturday evenings, May
7th and 81h, Miss KATIE Puritan, supported
by her select Comedy Company and excel.
lent orchestra, will again visit this town,
opening in the beautiful Drama of Little
Barefopt, with Miss Kittie'in the title role.
During the piece she will sing “Barefoot’s
Praycr’” arranged and composed by herself.’
She will give an entire change on Saturday
evening, repeating no piece she played
' when last here. It is useless for us to speak
of this actress, as when last here she creat-
ed a furore which is still fresh in the memo-
ries of our theatre-going people. Give her
full houses which she richly deserves.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Masses; Entrees—Can any of your ren-
ders suggest a more important use of the
extra supply of water in our Reservoirs
than its application to our principal
thoroughfare during the ,1 dry, weather of
Summer.- . I '
Will not every citizen who drives or
walks upon West Avenue, (and who does
not a) be benefittcd by having this dusty
street evenly sprinkled by the only proper
method as yet devised for that purpose
which will do away with the more expen-
sive and less efllcient use of hose, which
breaks up the even surface and covers the
road with pools of water to the great a'uuoy-
ance and damageto carriages and pedes-
trians. *
In order to effect this important work it
will be only necessary that the WATER
COMMISSIONERS give the use of the water
FREE, while the supply is ample considers
ing that 'the quality of tile water would be
greatly improved by reducing the surplus
to the lowest measure consistentwith en-
tire safety; and for the inhabitants of the
Avenue to contribute a small stun towards
the expense of sprinkline.
If this can be done Mr. Partrick who is
provided with several sprinklers,-will be
happy to supply the coveted blessing.
West Avenue should be sprinkled from
the bridge to the Borough line, and the city
will complete the work to the N. Y. & N.
H. depot, as they have for several summers
done, so greatly to the comfort of all their
citizens. ‘ *
The lamps on West avenue are often in
such condition as to be of little use, giving
sometimes less light than a tallow candle,
and even this flicker of light shut off entire-
ly as early as 10 o’clock. Some method
should be speedily adopted to keep the gas
burning on West avenue during the entire
period of darkness. If the gas company
are to exhorbitant let lamps be used and
with proper care they can be lighted all
night at less expense than gas can be used
for two or three hours.
Let those who have the comfort and
safety of our citizens in their keeping show
' by their acts that they are doing their dXty.

The Nelly White.
Our popular steamer will not commence
her trips this season as early as heretofore,
and her programme for the summer will be
radically changed. The time for starting is
set for Monday, May 81st, her first trip down
being on Tuesday, June lst. The boat will
attempt to make no connection With the
Danbury train as in previous vears, but will
leave South Norwalk an hour earlier in the
morning (6:50), and New York“ three-quar-
ters of an hour later in the afternoon—Mar-
ket street at 3:30 and 33d street at 3:45. This
arrangement will give passengers who go
down for a day, nearly six hours in the city,
and get them home again before dark. An-
other feature is the return to old times
prices, the fire being put at 50 cents, or trip
tickets for 90 cents—less than half railroad
excursion fare. Commodoré White has
served our people faithfully and well in the
past, and we trust will be rewarded by lib-
eral patronage this summer. -

It doesn’t take much to incite war in New
Orleans just now.. If a woman slips and
sits down on her inflated rubber bustle the
explosion brings hundreds of armed
Leaguers to the spot, under the impression
that it is the signal gun for the onslaught.
Mr. Carruth, a northern Nebraska man,
lives on a farm’ which _is six miles square,
and all surrounded by a hedge fence. The
house is set three miles back from the road,
which must make it very nice for a fellow
when he wants an appetite in the morning
to run down to the gate and back before
breakfast. . ‘
One Williams, a pretending medium, of
London, has” been working wonders by let-
ting two men hold his hands in the dark
and at the same time performing various
feats on a table as if his hands were loose.
It has been found that he dexterously set the
two watchers to holding each other by mis-
take, anrl was thus left free.
The Centennial, of Philadelphia, says that
‘ in the course of a few weeks thousands of
men will be put to work on the centennial
bull ing. This in connection with the re-
su on in the coal regions, and the large
amount‘of work on hand and to be done by
the Reading railroad company will set the
wheels of industry in motion throughout
the state, and start us on a new career of in-
dustry.
Several German noblcmen have establish-
ed a rccolonization society for/the purpose
of inducing Germans who have settled in
the United States to return home. Some of
the agents of the society have arrived in
New York, and expect to be successful.
The society has a large capital, and its
members are land-ownerswho have become
alarmed lest the supply of labor should be
insufficient. . -
The oldest man" in the United States, is
Lomcr Griffin, of Lodi, Medina county,
Ohio. He was born on the 22d of April,
1759, or thereabouts, at Granby, Hartford
county. In spite of his advanced age he is
halo and hearty, and well remembers the
localities and scenes of his early days. His
son Willis is 74, and recently the two were
photographed on one plate, making a strik-
ing picture in Harper’s Weekly.

gFinc Spring weather has been somewhat
dubious the past week, but not sufficiently
as,;to prevent the usual activities and oc-
cugences. Many who linvc a garden spot
areiclearing tip ready for planting; hou‘se—
keepers are preparing for paint, whitewash
and company; politicians busy plotting and
planning for candidates for office, and places
for friends; even school matter begin to re-
ceive consideration, and requisites of new
committees and teachers canvassed ; a dele-
gation has been making search for the paved
streets, and it is expected that their attention
will be soon given to the task of finding the
Catholic church; as the searchers for knowl-
edge of that kind have been seen on the
point of roe-ks overlooking the city, it is
hoped that a report may be had very soon.
The events of Ithc week were ushered in
on Tuesday morning by the Chief of Police,
who found at an early hour, a “waif," a little
boy, which he kindly’cared for athis own
home, where multitudes. you hundreds,
mostly of the fair sex, called to see it. The
property was thus advertised, but no claim-
ant presenting themselves, it was ordered
that it be placed in care of the matron at
the almshousc. Before the order was exe-
cuted, the kind-hearted chief found a friend
willing'and anxious to care for it, and it
was thus taken in 'charge.
On Tuesday the funeral ofFrank E. Quin-
tard was held at the house of his son-in-law,
Mr. Burritt, and was largely attended by
his friends and companions of the Old Well
Club. .
The school bell of the Down Town dis-
trict sounded the alarm of fire on Wednes-
day evening. Before the Old Well Hook
and Ladder Co. was fairly under way, the
tire was extinguished.
The funeral of Widow John Bouton was
attended at the Congregatidnal church, on
Wednesday, p. in. The services were con-
ducted by the pastor Rev. H. N. Dunning,
who gave a lengthy history of Mrs. B35 life
and character. She was among the oldest
members of the church.

The annual meeting of the Temple of
Honor and Temperance of the state of Con-
necticut, will be holden in the “city” on the
second and third days of June. It. is expect-
ed that very many of the prominent telns
peranee men of the state will be present.
Probably one or more mass meetings will
be held on the evenings of the days men-
tioned. Public to all.
Moving has prevailed to a large extent
this spring. .
During the session of Sunday school at
the Congregational church on Sunday
. last, and while the classes were all deeply
interested in the narative ot Samson’s pull-
down the temple, a noise as of some heavy
body falling. was heard, which caused some
alarm. It was found that a part of the co-
pola had blown 0d” and lodged upon the
church roof. _

They pick up babies two weeks old in
the streets of our great city now, with the
promise of a big harvest if the season is a
little late. The boy thus picked up by P0-
liceman Cr'o'we is to be reared and educated
specially with a view to his holding office.
Men have been urged and urged and en-
treated and coaxed so to hold the most
trivial office. It is thought this boy if it
lives willr make a good Mayor, with the
proper training. It -is said quite a number
of men at the Bridge as well as down ‘here
are very anxious to know who it looks
like.
A train of twenty-five cars, drawn by two
locomotives, passed through the city on
Sunday evening. It contained Barnum’s

The public owe Harvey Fitch a debt of
gratitude. We do not remember when we
have ever had the highways so speedily
and so cheaply put in order, after a winter’s
wear and tear. The cobble-stones with
which nearly {every steeet in the Borough
has been filled for months, have nearly all
disappeared, except perhaps upper Belden
and Franklin avenues, where the tax-payers
money was expended last year, iii carting
on two parts of gravel and ninety-eight
parts cobble-stones. The Borough having
hired these stones carted on the above ave-
doubt reluctant to have them removed. But
thanks to Fitch for'Yhe good he has done. '

is kept on the European plan so that guests
pay only for what they get. It is within
