early separated. Thomas, the-eldest, finally
drifting westward where he entered the ser-

“DIDN’T I TELL too sol"—Just as we ’
predicted, the order made by our Borough
God-fathers and peremptorily enforced, for
the curbing or the west side of Franklin
avenue on an even grade with the lower
side, has resulted in an almost unanimous
petition to have it taken up and relaid on a
higher grilde. Any man, with half an eye
in his head, must have known it should
have thus been done at the outset. Strange
that a little more common sense cannot be
mingled with ourBorough engineery. And
by the way, that is likely to prove a rather
expensive experiment trying to sewer the
water out of the Sherry lot, up hill, inlo the
river near Cross street.

Just as the Neptune boys were moving
from the dock on their departure on Monday
night week. a little lad, son of Mr. Donnelly
the carman, toppled off a pile of lum-
ber and fell into the water. The accident
was witnessed by most of the crowd await-
ing the Neptune’s departure, and a thrill of
terror ran through every breast lest the boy
should be drowned. At this juncture, Geo.
Raymond the undertaker, without waiting
to divest himself of clothing, sprang in and
saved the child from a watery grave. Ray-
mond’s cOurage and promptness won' the
admiration of all boholders, and must have
caused a deeper sense of gratitude on the
part of the boy and his parents. '

Not only the generally disgraceful condi-

the gutters were clogged and the walks on

Cholera lnfantum.
This disease has been prevalent to an un-
usual extent in luOst of our cities and large >
townsthe present summer, and has specia‘b
ly attracted the attention Of health officers.
In a letter to the New Haven OGuTch', Dr.
Linslcy, health officer of that city says:—
r“Thc chit-f conditions which are every-
where recognizod as actively promoting the
development of cholera infantum are: heat,
bad and confined air, uncleanliness, and es-
pecially, and above all, improper food. All
these, except-the first, are to a great degree
removable causes, either wholly or in part.
Next to appropriate food, the most import-
ant essential is an abundance of fresh air.
This explains why so many sick babies are
benefitted by removal into the pure, fresh
air of the open country. If circumstances
will not permit removal, still great good re-
sults from keeping the little patients out of
doors as much of the time as possible, and
in attending to the thorough ventilation of
houses while in-doors. The most scrupu-
lous attention to cleanliness must be dili-
gently and unremittingly practiced; but as
the vast majority of the victims of this dis-
ease are nourished by other food than that
supplied by the mothers’ breast, it becomes
a matter Of prime importance to consider
what is the best substitute in caseswhere a
substitute is anecessityg .It is likewise of no
little consequnce to havcva judicious method
of nursing babies. , _
The following rules for the care of infants
have been published by the Health Depart-
ment of the City of New York, anti as they
have the approbation of many physicians of
our city, it is believed the careful observ-
ance of them will do much to lessen. the
slan0bter of the innocents so fearfully going ‘
a
on among us now.”
Rules for the Care of Infants.
NURSING INFANTS.
Over feeding 'thEs more harm than any-
thing else; nnrse' an‘infant a month or two
oltl. every two Or three hours. ,
N ursc an infant of six months and over,
"five times in twenty-four hours and no
more. » , -
If an infant is thirsty, give it pure water,
or barley water, no sugar. . -
On the hottest days, a few drops of whis-
key may be added to either water or food;
the whiskcv not to exceed a table-spoonful
in twenty'four hours.
FEEDING or INFANTS.
Boil a teaspoonful of powdered barley,
ground in a coffee grinder), and a gill of
water, with a little salt, for fifteen lninutes,
strain, then mix it with half as much boiled
milk, add a lump of white sugar, size of a
walnut, and give it lake-warm from a nurs-
ing bottle. Keep bottle and mouth-piece in
a bowl when not in use.
For infants five or six months old, give
half barley-water anti half boiled milk, with
salt and a lump of sugar.
For older infants give more lnilk than
barley-water.
For infants very costivc, give oatmeal in-
stead of barley. Cook and strain as before.
When your breast-milk is only half
enough, change off" between breast milk and
this prepared food.
In hot weather, if blue litmus paper ap-
plied to the food, turns rcdyihe food is too
acid, and you must make a fresh lncss, or add
a small pinch of baking soda.
Infants of six months may have beef-tea
.Ol' beef-soup once a day,~by itself,‘or mixed
with other food; and when ten or twelve
months old, a crust of bread and a piece of
rare beef to suck. '
’No child under two years ought to eat at
your table. ,
Give no candies, in fact nothing that is
not contained in these rules, without a doc-
tor’s orders.
SUMMER COMPLAINT. .
It comes from over-feeding, antl hot and
foul air; never from teething.. Keep doors
and windows open.
Wash your children wiith cold water twice
a day, anti oftencr in the bot season.
When infants vomit anti purge give noth-
ing to eat or drink forfour or six hours, but
all the fresh air you can. After that time,
give a few drops (f whiskey in' a teaspoon-
ful of ice-water every ten minutes but no
more until the doctor comes.
Whenever there is vomiting and purging
give N0 niilk. Give nolaudanum, no parc-
goric, no soothing syrup, no teas. -

given, that all, especially the new Members,

of preparation, anti gain strength for the
duties to devolve upon them at the “Bluffs,"

Misssns. Entrons:——Among the items of
city'news in the GAZETTE, of Aug. 101b, I
find the following paragraph z—. .
“A piece of genuine vandalism and dese-
cration is being done in the cutting down of
those noble elms infront of the old Day
place, near the steamboat dock. . It is
strange the owner can’t see that those shade
trees are worth more than his lot is.”
Will you permit me thank you for these
words, spoken in defence of the beautiful.
I believe I speak for a large number of citi-
zens of South Norwalk as well as of
the Borough, in saying that the loss of
trees is a public calamity, and because not
an unfrcqucnt one in our country, is none
the less to be lamented.
In our business communities the value of
a lot‘is apt to be regarded far more than any
picturesque feature, or remnant of by-gone
days. That such should be the , case in
crowded cities, is perhaps a necessity ; but
where land is to be had in abundance such
desecration is to‘bc deplored. It removes
all distinctive features from our cities, and
will' eventually reduce the time-honored,
“ConnecticuiVillug'e Green” to a mere tra-
dition, and all record of our revolutionary
fathers-to a mythical talc.
I aln prompted to write these lines by the
fact that although many have expressed to
me regret at the fall of the elms that must
with us have well nigh reached their cente'
nary, a few seem to regard the corner store
as an ample compensation for their loss. I
have alludue respect for the store but why
not make the corner a few feet up the street?
Perhaps my remarks may not be thought
practical, but in some things beauty and
poetry lend charm to our life, where dollars
anti cents make of it a dusty highway, over
which we may plotl, but can never hope to
ride to the heartfelt appreciation of the Cre-
ator‘s gifts, which is the essence of all hap-
piness. . Very truly yours,
-A FRIEND on THE Tunas.

made the choice fell upon W. CL‘Burke, who
has lately locatcd'in this city. The session
was prolonged to a late boon-and much pre«
liminary business accomplished. -We can
assure the members of the council, that,
there is no surer or shorter wayto obtain»
the confidence of the people than to lift the
doings and acts of the council out of the
old rtlt of incompetcney, neglect, and abuse.
The efforts of the new and some of the old
members should be accepted as a substan-
tial earnest of accomplishing much good, by
reforms which have already been proposed.
For these and every other reform criticism
and censure may be expected from partizan
opponents, especially if the expenses are
increased, no matter how much the whole
community may be bencfittetl. We trust
confitlently that the fair judgement .of the
business community, which is always thank-
ful for any improvement in the manage-
ment Of afihirs, for any reasonable increase
of outlay for work better and more quickly
done, will be given to the council,‘ with
which they will be satisfied, for the business
men form a constituency not to be ignored
or despised. ' ‘
