UR NEW DRESS. _ We commence the Centennial year with en- tirely new type for our Reading columns. It’ is from-the foundry of Messrs. R. & J. (is A. Waldndsay, Fulton street, New York, who haveifor years cast all'the type used by the Messrs. Harper 'on their publications, and for other leading publishing houses in New Yerk. It is of clear, sharp cut, large and beautiful face and will commend itself to our readers. Our‘new heading was designed and engraved by Mr. Stephen J. Cox, 90 Nassau Street, New York. Mr. Duncan forged our new iron chases. We have been to considerable outlay in making these improvements, and trust our patrons will show their appreciation by pron'mt payment of their “litttle account.” R. ‘ 'Dn:.u (Iran'rrsz—lNL-w Year’sulay war We ' more generally than is usual ii; ' ‘_. devot— df‘Ffli 0 “calls” and social festivities. l’l‘ ,. 3 i‘f‘l‘fliuent, Cabinet, Supreme Court, Army ' ““1 Navy Officers and Foreign Legations were the ‘lions” of the day, and the Congressmen re , firing in town, Heads of the various Dc- cuts, clerks, and common body-politic m mama, brought up the rear and magnitude and mul:z't:ule to the natal ol' the new, centennial year. 9 most popular hostess and host 3“re.ceiv- ing" yesterday, by the universal seldom—— wene at the “ Connecticut Head Quarters "— l thclelegant, open and hospitable home of the Post Mart”?

He assured us that Norwalk did more, pzr capita, for' liberty, in contributions of men, . money. and material during the Revolutionary ..

Another fact, developed by the records of the Patent Office, is quite as gratifying and complimentary to our enterprising state. One month of all the receipts of the Patent Office is cpntributed by Connecticut inventors. It proves for usa decided monopoly in inventive genius, thrift and business enterprise. We trust our inventors will make this gratifying fact more fully apparent at the Centennial exhibition. The Capital is all agog, of course, with ex-v pectation, over the reassembling. of Congress on Wednesday. At the Senate endrall will be smooth and placid as a May morninw. It has beenas hot as May here for the past week, ._ and yesterday and today, the sun- has been really oppressive, the thermometer ranging up 3 to 80 ° . In the House, there will be a “sweet time of it.” .Beside the “bitter, burning wrongs” ’of the Committees, there are the sorenesses over disappointed hopes and viola- ted promises as to the thirty-three hundred or more subordinate places about that present 1 "“ roughold of err-Confederates. A very amusing incident was yesterday listed to us by an eye-witness, illustrative of, "(e ill-feeling‘prevailing among northern and \stem democrats, who came down here ex- :xtting some sort of an “allotment, state-wise, . “of these places. A democratic member of the last Ne ' Hampshire State Legislature, sought and wds’promised, a position under the new Dooijeeper of the House.

But we shall see what we shall See. ‘ .

For some weeks post committees from the various Temperance Societies of Norwalk have been arranging for a Union Sociable. It has been decided to hold sucha gathering. Norwalk, South Norwalk, Rowayton, West Norwalk, Winnipauk, Silver Mine and Cran- berry plains, each contain Societies which will be represented at the meeting.

We suppose there is no use saying anything about the weather, but take it as it comes and make the best of it. It was a little un- scasonabl,.howcvcr, last week, and took the edge off of all-holiday festivities. The days were warm, and the nights :thick with mist and fog. On New Year’s day overcoats were uncomfortable, and fires were unbeara- ble. Even many people who were not “ re- ceiving” were glad to keep open doors. * The annual meeting of the Ladies Associa- tion of the First Congregational church was held in the Lecture Room last Thursday af- ternoon. The annual Reports of the Associa- ’tiation :md of the Mission Band were read. They were of a favorable character and grat- ifying to the members. Mrs. L. J. Curtis was reelected President; Miss Elizabeth Brown, Home and Corresponding Secretary; Miss Charlotte Raymond, Treasurer and'Cor- respondent of foreign Department. The As- sociation has contributed very largely to the church debt, and to Home and Foreign mis- sions, and is in a flourishing condition. James Barnes, an employee in the Norwalk Foundry, met with a sad misfortune on Fri- day, the day before Christmas. He was put- ting on the driving belt which connects the steam engine with the mill, when unfortunate- ly one of his arms got caught in it and was instantly broken in two places. This is a hard blow for a poor working man, in mid- winter. Rev. Joseph Ballard and wife of this place, celebrated their Golden Wedding on Wednes— day cvening, Dec. 29th, at the residence of their daughter Mrs. Henry Marks, 550 Fifth avenue, New York. Their other daughters Mrs. Geo. \V. \Vhite and Mrs. Albert F. Day of New York, and Mrs. J. N. .Murdoek of Boston were present with their husbands and children. Their grandson, Joseph Ballard Murdock of the United States Navy was un- expectedly with them. An elegant collation was'served, and an original poem “An old time Ballad” was read by Mrs. Murdock. 'aluable gifts were bestowed, and letters of congratulations were received from absent friends. The Temperance Ladies continue their reg- ular meetings, and also their “crusade.” If we can believe any of the wonderful stories '. fl _ u - we hear a1 ‘ . result 0 f err efforts me), are accomplishing astonishing things )y their persistent labors. Several noted characters have been induced to sign the pledge and ear- nestly promise reformation, and we can only hope that they are really sincere and will be honorable enough to back up their' promises with at least an earnest effort to turn over a new leaf. If the ladies succeed so well, it is certainly time for the general public to corue to their help and encourage them in their good work. Grandphoral Festivah Prof. Salmson announces that the public Concert for which the school children have been preparing for several weeks past, will take place at the Opera House, on Friday evening, 14th inst. The scholar‘s of the South Norwalk Union, the Over River and Center districts will participate. Prof. Salmson is ,cOnnected with the public schools of New York; he has spent much time in teaching and training the children, and his only remu- neration will be the proceeds of this Concert. He is to be assisted on this occasion by Mr. Gibson,;and by Mr. Punzclt and his orchestra. _ Company will be held to-night, and, as the Company officers for the year 1876 are to be «elected, it is hoped that every member . will feel interested and be present. Hope Hose Co. also hold theirAnnnal'meeting to—night. ._____ -. .Q. - . .._._._ The Fifth entertainment in thc~Wintcr Evening Course was given before a large audience on Friday evening last, by the Rich- ings-Bernard Opera Company. The comic opera, “The Rose of Tyro ,” was produced in a very pleasing and acceptable Imanner. Mrs. Bernard-Riclrings rendered her part charmingly, and her good natured husband pleased all; The support was generally good, and taken altogether the company was far superior to most traveling opera troupes. The next entertainment in the Winter Even- ' g Course, put down for Wednesday even- ing, willbe postponed until further notice, owing to the non-arrival of Grace Greenwood from Europe. Our pity friends celebrated the advent of .the Centennial year with great manifestations. ”of rejoicing. Promptly at midnight the artil- lery commenced thundering forth a salute of One hundred guns, and the church and school bells began to “ring out the old, ring in the new” century of our national existence. A company marched through the streets with martial music, and all' the usual auxiliaries were brought into requisition to swell the joy- ous noise. The atmosphere was in a favora- ble state for tramsmitting the sound, and the Borough folks had the full benefit of the jubi- lee. The residence of Mr. B. J. Sturges, Union Park, caught fire New Year’s evening, but fortunately the flames were discovered and extinguished before much damage was done.

We are indebted to the venerable Hezekiah Scott, of Ridgefield, for a copy of Joel Bar- low’s “Columbiad,” from which we make the following appropriate extract for the Centen- nial year :— l)cscription 0f the first American Congress; from the Vision of Columbus. Columbus look’d; andvstill around them spread, , From south to north, th’ immeasurable shade; At last, the central shadows burst away, And rising regionsopcn’d on the day. He saw, oneel'morc, bright Del’warc’s silver stream, And Penn’s throng’d city cast a cheerful gleam; ' The dome os state, that met his eager eye, Now heav’d its arches in a loftier sky. The bursting gates unfold; and 10, within, A solemn train, in conscious glory, shine. The well-known forms his eye had trac’d be- fore, In (liff’rent realms along th’ extended shore; Here, grac’d with noblcr fame, and rob’d in state, They look’d and movfd magnificently great. High on the. foremost seat, in living light, Majestic Randdlph caught the hero’s sight ; Fair on his head, the civic crown was plac’d, And the first dignity his scepter graced. He opes the cause, and points in prospect far, Through all the toils that wait th’ impending war, But, hapless sage, thy reign must soon be o’er, To lend thy lustre, and to shine no more. So the bright morning star, from shades of ev’n - Leads up the dawn, and lights the front of hea‘v’n, Points to the waking world the sun‘s broad way, _. \ Then veils his own, and shi And see great “r ... mgton behind thee rise, Thy f0110 'ng sun, to gild our morning skies; shadowy climes to pour th’ cnliv’ning flame, ' The charms of freedom and the fire of flame, Th’ ascending chief adorn’d his splendid seat, Like Randolph, cnsign’d with a crown of state, ‘ ‘ ‘ ' ' ‘thre: the green patriot bay beheld, with pride, 'Thc hero’s laurel springing by its side; His sword hung useless, on his graceful thigh, On Britain still be cast a filial eye; But sovereign fortitude his visage bore, To meet their legions on th’ invaded shore. .. e aoovc the day. Sage Franklin next. arose, in awful mien, And smil'd, unrufiled, o’er th’ approaching scene; ' High, on his locks of age, a wreath was brac’d Palm. of all arts, that e’er a mortal grackl; Beneath him lies the secptre kings have home, And crowns and laurcls from their temples torn. Nash, Butlcgc, Jefferson, in coxflrcil great, And Jay and Laurens op’d the rolls of fate. The Livingstons, fair freedom's gen’rous band, The Lees, the Houstons, fathers of the land, eyes, Bade all th’ oppress’d to speedy vengeance rise: All powers of state, in theirextendcd plan, Rise from consent to shield the rights of man.‘ . Bold Wolcott urg’d the all-important cause ; With steady hand the solemn scene he draws; Undaunted firmness with his wisdom join’d, Nor kings nor worlds could warp his steadfast mind. ' - Now, graceful rising from his‘purple throne, In radiant robes, immortal Hosmcr shone: Myrtles and bays his'lcarned temples bound. The statesman's wreath the poet’s garland crown’d; Morals and‘laws expand his liberal soul, Beam from his eyes, and in his accents roll. But 10! an unseen hand the curtain drew, And snatch’d the patriot from the hero’s view; Wrapp’d in the shroud of death, he sees dc- scend The guide of nations and the musc’s friend. Columbus dropp’d a tear. The angel’s eye Trac’d the freed? spirit mounting through the sky. Adams, enrag’d, a broken charter here, And lawless acts of ministerial power; Some injur’d right in each loose leaf appears, A king in terrors and a land in tears; From all the guileful plots the veil he drew, With eye retortive look’d creation through; ‘ Op’d- tug wide range of. nature’s boundless plan; Trac’d all the steps of liberty and man; Crowds rose to vengeance while his accents ‘ rung, . . .. And Independence thunder’d from his tongue. Two Tremendous Sermons. Rev. Dr. Hewitt, formerly well known in Fair-field 00., as pastor of the Congregational church in Fairfield and of the South church in Bridgeport; and throughout New England as “The Apostle of Temperance,” is thus referred to by President Hopkins, late of Williams College, at a parlor address in the mansion of Hon. YV. E. Dodge. “1 remem- ber well the first movement in Williamstown, and in the college, on the subiect of Temper- ance. It was, ’1 think, .5 early as 1832 or 1833. There were two liotels in the place, three or four stores that retailed three or four hogsheads each annually. No one seem- ed to suppose the trafiic wrong. But one Sabbath, Dr. Hewitt, then in Bridgeport, preached two tremendous sermons on the subject; and now note the effect of a train- edconscience when it is enlightened. The next day both hotels and every store in the utown stopped Selling. I have never known discourses, before or since. those’discourébsis felt in the town to this day. A public sentiment was created that has nevcrrdicd'out._.

In BITS OF'TALK. With what breathless interest we listen for the baby’s first word! What a new bond is at once and for ever established between its soul and cars by this mysterious, inexplicable, al- most incrcditable fact! That is the use of the word. That is its onlynse, so far as mere gratification of the ear goes. Many other sounds are more pleasurable,——the baby’s laugh, for instance, or its inarticulate mur- murs of content or sleepiness. But the word is a revelation, a sacred sign. Now we shall know what our beloved one wants; now we shall know when and why the dear heart sorrows, or is glad. How re- assured we feel, how confident! Now we can- not make mistakes; we shall do all for the best; we can give happiness; we can commu- nicate wisdom; relation is established; the perplexin gulf of silence is bridged. The baby spe 3! But it is not of the" baby’s learning to speak that we propose to write here. All ba- bres learn to speak; or, if they do not, we know that it means a terrible visitation,~a calamity rare, thank, God! but bitter almost beyond parents’ strength to bear. But why, having once learned to speak, does the baby leave off speaking when~it be- comes a man or woman? Many of our men and women today need, almost as much as when they were twenty-four months old, to learn to speak. We do not mean learning to speak in public. We do not mean even learn- ing to speak well,—to pronounce words clear- ly and accurately ; though there is need enough of that in this land; But that is not 'the need at which we are aiminn‘ now. \Ve mean something so much simpler, so much further back; that we hardly know how to say it in words which shall be simple enough, and also sufliciently strong. We meanulegmr ing to speak at all! In s ' Giullwlnch sat- Wham: and say of the loqua- rous cgotism,the questioning curiosity of our people, it is true to-day that the average American is a reticent, tacitum, speechless creature, who for his own sake, and still more for the sake of all who love him, needs, more than he needs anything else under heaven, to learn to speak. . ~ Look at our silent railway and horse-cars, steamboat cabins, hotel tables, in short, all our public places where peo le are thrown togeth- er ineidentally,’ and wh r'e goodwill and the. habit of speaking, corn ‘ d,-wgu1d create n_ atmosphere of human 'lity, quite unli e lit tis‘ not of so much what we see n0w.’ 'B consequence, after all, ether people speak in these public places or not. 'If they did, one very unpleasant phase of our national life would be greatly changed for the better. But it is in our homes that this speechlessncss tells most fearfully,—on the breakfast and dinner, and tea—tables, at which a silent father and mother sit down in haste and gloom, to feed their depressed children. This is especially true of men and women in the rural districts. They are tired : they have more work to do in a year than it is easy to do. Their lives are monotonous,—too much so for the best health of either mind or body. If they dreamed how‘ much this monotony could be broken and cheered by the cdnstant habit of talking with each other, they would grasp at the slightest chance of a conversation. Sometimes it al- most seemsas if complaints and antagonism Were better than such stagnant quiet. But there need not be complaint and antagonism: there is no home so poor, so remote from af- fairs, that cach day does not bring and set ready, for family welcome and. discussion, beautiful sights and sounds, occasions- for helpfulness and gratitude, questions for de- cision, hopes, fears, regrets! , The elements of human life are the same forever; any one heart holds in itself the whole, can give all the things to another, can bear all things for another; but no giving, no bearing, not even if it is the giving up of a life, if it is done without free, full, loving interchange of speech, is half the blessingit might be. Many a wife goes down to her grave a (lull- ed and dispirited woman simply because her ‘ good and faithful husband has lived by her side without talking to her! There have been days when one word of‘ praise, or one word even of simple good cheer, would have gird- ed her up with new strength. She did not know, very likely, what she needed, or that she needed anything; but she drooped. Mariya child grows up a hard, unimpression- able, unloving man or wenmnsimply from the uncheercd silence in which the first ten years of life were passed. Very few fathers and mothers, even those who are fluent, perhaps, in society, habitually talk with their children. It is certain that this, is one of the worst shortcomings of our homes. Perhaps no oth- er single change would do so much to make . them happier, and therefore, to make our commrmities better, as for men and women to learn to speak.

New Years day passed lovelywsway, but its effects were lasting. On Monday evening our Board of Councilmen, who wereiexpeeted to get along this year with little trouble, al- though composedof very independent men, meet for the purpose of electing a city otter; ney. After balloting twenty-four times, each ballot interspersed with motions, amendments and decisions by the, chair, and frequcnly sharp repartec and sarcastic hits, it \ '.as given up until this Monday evening, January 3d. It is called another “council muddle.” Messrs. Salmons, 'lowan and .Ex-Mayor Ely, returned home from the \Vcsl in lime to enjoy New Years cells. All were very much pleased with the jdurney. ' In addition to the new plank walk built by the lst M. E. Society in front. of their church, there has been good stone cross-walks placed across Marshall street, at the corner of Main street, and across High street at its intersec- tion with West street, both much needed im- provement, and fully appreciated by our city residents and tax payers. ‘ . . Justice.\ '. S. Benton. has been engaged in growing out of a disputed claim to ‘water funds on the Sound, near Five Mile liver. Harbor. The case is still ,on. . _ A Christmas Festival and Concert was held' " by the SpringwoOd Sabbath School, on Tues; day evening which has the largest gathering they have had.- Many‘ recitations were given by the scholars. . The: entertainment closed and presents of books to the teachers; ' 1 The church and sabbatlusclrool of the Bap- tist Tabernacle, not to be outdonebr'bcglcct- ful, held their Christmas festival on Monday were very interesting and. comparcdveryfaj vorablywith those of the other churches. ' It is not our wish to dampen the ardor or find fault with our most excellent, but some- times voluble councilmen, who sometimes clog the wheels of business with chunks of parlia— mentarian wisdom. _It is mite for us. \Ve appreciate such efforts and arelhankful for such favors, and yet we protest. Follow the charter and ordinances, gentlemen: elect your officers as therein provided, save gas, and gas-lights, and your patience—and all will be well. The best and most satisfactory trial of the new "' lock Springwatcr” was made on New Year’s afternoon by Putnam Hose (50., near Trinity Episcopal church. Three lengths of hose were attached to the hydrant, and one stream from a scvcn-cigbths nozzle was thrown over the cross on the steeple of that church. Two lengths of hose were attached to thehydrant and two streams thrown nearly to the top of the steeple. After wetting down some of the Hose boys—another trial waslrad opposite Peck’s on the Old lVell Hotel grounds, fully as satisfactorily. Many novelties were to be seen on exhibi- bition New Years day; old copper coins, new silver ware, large roosters, etc., but none more amusing than papers distributed, datal Jan. 1st, 1875, and the younglady who made calls with the rest of the boys, dressed in male attire. Mr. Geo. Seymour has some old Revolu- tionary relics which be highly prizes. They, consist of plates and pieces taken from an old dresser after a cannon ball had been fired through'it, in a house in thitc Plains. Calling and receiving calls was the order of the day on Saturday. and those who had not been deprived of their usual rest by the noise and confusion of New Years Eve, seemed to enjoy it hugely. Rev. II. N. Dunning delivered his “Cen- tennia ” anniversary discourse, or a forty years history of the Congregational church, on Sunday morning. As it will probably be published we will not quote, except to say of its founders, only sixteen are new members, and of the pastors only two—Revs. -Mr. Austin and Dunning—are now living. At the close of the discourse Mr. Austin administered the - sacrament of .the. Lord’s Supper, - -. _. ' Purmnsmrrri, Dec. 30th, 1875 A capital joke, was sprung upon Chief Jones of our municipal police; a few days ago, the circumstances are briefly these: The worthy chief was startled from his rever- ie, one dismal night last week, by 1119 cu- trauce of General Bingham ;,“the old war horse of the quarter Sessions,” had a tele- gram which was thus: To General Bing- ham, “‘1 will be in Philadelphia, on the 11:30 train, meet me at the depot. (Signed), TWEED. The general protested that, he could not unravel the mystery, and the con— Tammany chief, had unwittingly revealed his movements; here then was a catch with millions in it,” and the valiant knight of the central station, fairly bristled with excite- ment as he fancied himself the captor of Tammany’s rccrcantchiefflris “modm oper- mull” was quickly determined upon. (.‘ap- lain Heins of the detective force, wasdetailed to watch the depot, while, he, the chief, was found to his horror that the train had ascertained that a. party answering to the same general description as Tweed, had ta- ken the road to Smith’s Island, now this man was secure, and the gallant captain resolved to make,him prisoner or to struggle “till his Blade glimmer'ed in the grasp of death.” Filled with this idea and “eager for the fray,” he'obscrvcd his victim enter one of the Beer Salaam which adorn that. classic retreat; following the official entered boldly, and what was the sight that greeted him, he saw the imaginary Tweed step to the Bar and em, xuei, (ll-elf, he then unfolded a cotton umbrella and told his son that his expedition for Beerhad proved eminently successful; alas for human hopes, did the captain faint? and now about the telegram; when the chief reached the Bingbam mansion, he found the general and Mr. Thurlow W'ced, nearly con- vulsed with laughter over the mistake of a -telegraph operator who had signed ll’eed’s telegram, Tweed, . A few weeks ago, and Moody and Sankey were all the mge, but, the most interesting volume grows monotonous, as it becomes familiar; and so it has proved with these great Revivalists. In England they were enthusiastically received, and the excite- ment confirmed unabated during their entire sojourn; but on this side the Atlantic, al- though, they have been and are, warmly the American mind is ever attractive, but let any subject he once divested of this charm, and it will then receive the cool calculating (criticism for which we Americans are prover- bial, but the reverened gentlemen have accom- plished great good and we wish them a glo- rious success in a field, where “the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.” A.

Mrsssnas Barrens; , ' Please rc-publish, in larger type, what the Selectmen have said in their Report as'to the provisions they have made for tramps at the Locloup, and their request to our citizens to co-operate with them in their wise attempt to abate this .nuisancc by refusing to feed them any longer at their own doors. Ilravc been a resident of the borough for nearly‘twcntyyears, living on the old Boston and New York ttrrn1)ike,fl have fed many hundreds, if not thousands of these v'agranls, Often half—a-(lozcn, or more, in a day; and have been shamefully imposed upon very often, and am what-y of tho impdsitiou—nol of Um Charity. A Humanitarian. EXTRACT or armour. The present board of Selectmen hav(‘.~’-‘(ie- vised a plan, as humane and considerate inits operation as it is thought it will prove effect- ivc in remedyng this cause of complaint. Provisions have been made to furmsh trmnps with meals, lodgings and work, at the lock-up, and the Selectmen can be very much assistcdintbcir efforts if our citizens, when applied to by these traveling vagrants, will persistently refuse their demands and rc-' for them to the lock-up, where they will be provided for. " Through :1 determined adherence to this plan, it is confidently believed that these wandering beggars will soon learn the use- lessness of applying to private houses, and cease to anno ' and alarm. '. In this connection it has been suggested that it would be a good idea if our Selectmen would have a lot of cards printed, for general distribution, with directions on Irlmre to go for aid. Then, citizens having those cards cards, could, when application was made to them, give one to the tramp applying, and he would know just where to go, much better than if simply told to apply to the Selectmen. Now many citizens do not really know just where to send them, but if they had cards they could offer them and if the tramp’s \van'tszu'em not pressing enough for him to ’uccept of that proffered help, the citizen of course would not need to help him. One gentleman informs us that he had about twenty cnlls on Sunday last, and he lived out of the way, too, at that; he says that several of them were really very abusive, but, al- though knowing some provision had been .I. . . . made for them by our authorities, illS folks could not verbally direct them where to ap- ply, as they did not really know. ____,...._..o.,.‘-. _..~ Reception of Prospect Pr: iuary. At the Prospect Park Seminary, located‘in the large and elegant residence of the princi- pal, Rev. B. B. Snowdon, A. M., 861 Sackett street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, the annual Christmas‘receptron was held last evening. The cxcrcrses of the pupils dis- played the proficiency and successful work of the Seminary under the faithful and thorough instruction of the principal and his efficient assistants. The exercises commenced at schn and occupied over three hours, to the delight of thcaudience. The pupils perform- ed their parts with great credit to themselves, satisfaction to the large audience present, and 'no doubt gratification to their earnest and de- voted principal and accomplished assistants, among whom Miss Emma Beardsley, of the young ladies’ department is entitled to special commendation. The programme was too large to publish to-(lay. owing to the crowded condition of our columns, but it was choice and , well selected.

The false supposition that “Consumptionis incurable" deterred physicians from attemptingto find reme- dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they deem— ed unavoidablc. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured and that it has been cured in a very great number of cases (some of them a pparentl y desperate ones) by Schcnck’s Puimouic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same medicine in connection with Schenck‘s Sea Weed Tonic and Mau-irakc Pills, one or both, ac- cording to the requirements of the ease.
