HOFNEW YORK.
The Centennial 4th.
. All the Foul-tbs of July, since the century
. bigau, have been glorious, but “ the day we
:lebratc" this year has an iuSpiration born
of an hundred years growth. Standing on the
top stone of the century, Young America
and old America will today observe the
day with a more sober ferver than ever be-
fore. Iligher'thoughts of God's goodness to
His people of this favored land, will fill the
minds of all good citizens. And many and
earnest will be the silent invocations sent
heavcnward that the dawning of the new
century may be but the more certain fruition
of that grand and glorious development and
unity ordained of God for this Free Ameri—
can Republic.
The celebration in New York commences
tomight (Monday), with a general illumina-
tion and a torch-light procession of military
and civic societies, in which from 25,000 to
30,000 men are expected to take part. It is
expected to be the most brilliant spectacle of
the kind ever witnessed in New Yorkcity.
At midnight there will be singing by the Ger-
man societies, in Union Park, and music by
the massed bands. There will be no general
celebration on the 4th.
To-day is not only the National Centennial
Anniversary, but also the semi-centennial an-
niversary of the deaths of John Adams and
Thomas J cffcrson—signers of the Declaration
and second and third Presidents of the Uni-
ted States, both of whom died July 4, 1826.
The most extensive celebration of the 4th
anywhere in this vicinity, will be at New
Haven. The city appropriated $5,000 for
this purpose. The celebration will commence
on the night of the 3d, with an illumination,
music, tire balloon with fireworks attached,
etc. The 4th will be ushered in by salutes;
a company of Antiques and Horribles will
parade at 8 a. m. The grand parade will be
at 9 a. m., the procession being composed of
the 2d Regiment and other military, the en-
tire city fire department, a large number of
civic societies, and about 500 fantastics. At
noon the 2d Regiment will hold a dress pa-
rade. At 2 p. m. Hon. E. K. Foster will do-
liver an oration at Center church, and Prof.
Mark Bailey will read the Declaration, Rev.
Dr. Bacon will read an historical address.
Original songs will be sung by a choir.
At the same time the school children will
parade. The line is expected to ‘bc a mile
long and embrace 2800 children. After the
parade all will be provided with seats on the
Green, and Prof. Fisher will make a balloon
ascension, which will be followed by a grand
concert by the children under the direction
of Prof. Jepson. ‘ '
The display of fireworks will comprise six
very elaborate pieces and quantities of shells.

Centennial Proclamatiom by the
President.
Wunlxorox, June 26.—Thc following was
issued today by the President of the United
States of America:
A PROCLAMA'IION.
The centennial anniversary of the day on
which the people of the United States de-
clared their right to a separate and equal sta-
tion among the owners of the earth, seems to
demand an exceptional observance. The
founders of the government at its birth and
in its feebleness invoked the blessings and
the protection of a divine providence, and the
thirteen colonies and 3,000,000 of people
have expanded into a naticn 'of strength and
number commanding the position which then
was asserted and for which fervent prayers
were then offered. It seems fitting that on
the occurrence of the hundredth anniversary
of our existence as a nation, a grateful ac-
knowledgement be made to Almighty God
for the protection and the bounties which he
has vouchsafed to our beloved country. I
therefore invite the good people of the Uni-
ted States upon the approaching Fourth day
of July in addition to the usual ceremonies
with which they are accustomed to greet the
return of the day, further and in such man-
ner and at such time as in their respective lo-
calities and religious associations may be most
convenient to mark its recurrence by some
public reli 'ous and devout thanksgiving to
Almi hty God for the blessings which have
been estowed upon us as a nation duringthe
centenary of our existence. and humbly to
beseech a continuance of His favor and of
His protection.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. ' " '
Done at" the city of Washington, this 26th
day of June, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand, eight hundred and seventy-six and
of the independence of the United States of
America the one hundredth. U. S. GRANT.
By the President:
HAMILTON Fisu, Secrtary of State.
=2
The Confederate Democrats in the House,
have not yet broken the dead-lock in the mat-
ter of appropriations, but have granted a ten
day’s truce so that the government can go on.
The nation should be grateful for so much
grace, of its condescending public servants.
The light houses will continue to be lighted
up and the mails despatched for ten days
more! It’s so kind of you Messrs. Congress-
men!
Quite an extraordinary excitement was cre-
ated, a few nights since, among the quiet
skippers who dwell among those peaceful
shores skirting our “Down Town” locality.
About midnight a large sail boat was pulled
ashore near Gregory’s Point, and a suspicious
looking and acting crew proceeded to land.
The party had been seen lustily rowing up
the harbor against current and tide since early
twilight, but the little progress made and the
wild management of the boat soon proved to
those old salts that the strange and suspicious
crew were nothing but lubberly landsmcn.
But what they wanted, or where they came
from,'was what puzzled the corrugated heads
of the shore skippers. That they ”were
thieves, bent on pillage, a majority watching
them were sure. But when they reached
shore, stumbled over the sides of their boat
and started for up town in such a woe-begonc
dilapidated, exhausted and discouraged man-
ner, all thoughts of their burglarious intent
vanished, and then the conceit seized fast
hold of the skippers noddles that it was the
return of Bill Tweed’: party and that the
Thyra was anchored somewhere off Smith's
Island. But it was nothing of the kind—
only the annual cruise to Longr Island of the
yacht “ Louise." The gas-man, and he of
the palace fish market were not there, and as
amattcr of course there was no wind, and
so the poor cxcurslonists had to pull for dear
life from Smith’s Island to Gregory’s in order
to get home at all. As one poor, tired-out
Benedict skulkcd into his chamber in the dim
grey of the approaching morning, a cherry
voice which he hoped would not be reused
from rosy slumber, shrieked out, “ A nice
time to be coming home, and you the father
of a family! Been to the lodge again I suppose!
nice man, you are!” and a whole volley of
words to. that effect. Poor Joseph Henry
vows he won’t go out after dark again for two
months—no, not even to witness the gorgeous '
dis lay of fireworks on the green to-uight,
an nothing short of insanity, he so s, will
over tempt him to (ssay another ri e in a
areacherous sail boat.
Centennial Flag Raisings.
Mr. O. S. Clark has a flag raising on his
premises, this morning, probably between 9
and 10 o'clock, and. invites friends and chil-
dren, especially, to assist.
Dr. Samuel Lynes will raise. a pole on his
West Avenue premises, and display a line
flag.
A new flag staff will ornament the already
beautiful grounds of Miss Hoyt, opposite St.
Paul's.
Mr. Harlem, always up with the times, has
improvised a staff from a tree, and will dis-
play a fine flag.
Mr. Charles Marvin will also‘dispiay a flag
from a stud on Spring Hill, which ought to
be conspicuous enough.
001. F. St. John Lockwood has removed
the flag staff from Lockwood’s Hall building
to his grounds on East Avenue.
. “Sam. Tilden” is what the democratic
masses delight to call a “proud aristocrat and
bloated bond-holder.” How came he by his
immense wealth ‘8 Let us have the matter “in-
vestigated.” Examine his bank account for
the past twenty years, his income returns, tax
receipts, stock speculations, political perqui-
sites, salary gmbs, ct cetcra. Search his
wife’s wardrobe and jewel caskets, and find
what presents she has received since her wcd-
ding, and who from. Then, as he is no bet—
ter than other men, make him “equalize” and
share even with his fellows.
Our friends of the Hartford Com-amt are
disposed to be satirically facctio us over the fact
that Governor English was entirely ignored
at the St. Louis Convention, and wants Edi-
tor Burr bf the Times to rise and explain the
cause of his absrncc from the Conventitn
when the interests of his New Haven friends
were trembling in the balance." ' There cer-
tainly seems to have b‘deu something very like
“treachery among friends,” in the treatment
Mr. English has received and no one is better
the Editor of the Com-ant. There was a feel,
ing respectable in influence and numbers, in
favor of the candidacy of Mr. English, deride
it as the Oourant may, and it only required
neeticut delegates to St.‘ Louis to have given
our State, at least an honorable prominence
in that Convention. Possibly it was too much
to have expected of Senator Barnum, to have
taken off his Coal and gone to work to elevate
one with whom he had just concluded so
bitter a personal contest, But there were other
delegates there from Connecticut who might
have seized upon the opportunity to bring to
at least an honorable prominence as they so
easily might have done, the name of one for
whom they had professed such ardent love
and admiration. That Convention was a
curious conglomerate we are aware, but the
failure to even offer GOv. English’s name, was
a slight upon him that certainly requires ex-
planation.

The New Bank.
The Board of Directors of the new Cen-
tral National Bank have chosen Ambrose S.
Hurlbutt, Esq., for President, and T. H.
Morison, Esq , for Vice-President, and acting
Treasurer. The first installment of the capi-
tal stock, twenty per cent., was payable
Saturday, and the others will be due in
The Boston and New York “ Air‘ Line"
Railroad. cz’v New Haven, Middletown and
Willimantic, having ~been put in greatly im-
proved condition, is now- running express
trains as far New Haven, which gain half an
hour over the Springfield line, and it is ex-
pected that a full hour will eventually be
gained. The consolidated road, however,
will net run the trains through to New York.
The Tribune says that the completion of this
road has revived the parallel road project.

The annual Report of the Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture has been issued.
It contains over 400 pages, and contains
articles on Fences and Fence Materials ; Com-
mon Roads and Boundaries; Water Supply
and Drainage; Fences and Division of Farm
Lands; Agricultural Experiment Stations;
Roads; Farmers’ Homes and how to use
them; Reports on Pomology, Roads, Farms,.
Fairs; &c. We presume the book can be had
by addressing the Secretary, T. S. Gold, Esq.,

The lightning express is a splendid train to
travel on. The cars run remarkably easy and
still, the stops are few, and the speed is not
at all frightful. Under the new arrangement
the train makes the distance between New
York and Boston in seven hours and eleven
minutes, a gain of forty minutes bver last
season's time. The ease with which this time
is made is just ’now attracting attention.
The run from New York to Norwalk is made
in sixty-three or four minutes, and the train
frequently waits at our depot nearly ten min-
utes, and glides off again on the second the
watch indicates 12:11, and so quietly that
persons standing within touch would hardly
know that it was moving until they actually
saw the cars vanishing. Passengers going by
this train should be on hand five minutes be-
fore the time set for its departure.

The public examination of Dr. Fitch’s
school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs.
day of last week, was highly satisfactory to
patrons and examiners.
We never attended an examination with
which we were as well pleased. The thorough-
ness with which the educational work of
this school, in all departments, is performed
is especially noteworthy. We think we
could select more than a half dozen pupils
from this school, who could not be surpassed
by those from any other school. It was to
be observed that among the most proficient
of the pupils, were those who had been
longest under the Doctor’s instruction. All
the compositions read, were excellent, but
one read by Harry Byington was received
with much favor, as was also that of Master
Howard Knapp. ONE OF Tim Exxauxxns.

‘ At the annual meeting of the Norwalk
Caledoniau Club, the following officers were
elected to serve for the ensuing year :—
Chievandrew Wardrop ; 1st Chieftain—
Thomas D. Bell ; 2d Chieftain, Wm. Youle,
Treasurer ; 3d Chieftain, A. McNaughton,
Secretary. On the first ballot, Chief Sterling
was unanimously rc-clcctcd, but declined on
the ground, that his services would be of
more value to the Club, out of office than in
it. After explanation, the Club agreed to re-
lcase him.

Representative Waite has again seized upon
an opportunity to serve his constituents and
win their; lasting appreciation. Old Sto’ning-
ton was in possession of sundry cannon,
with which the good people of that town
defended themselves from British attacks,
and which the government now proposed to
take from them. Mr. Waite thought in
“this Centennial year" these guns should be
made forever the propcrt y of that town and
so had passed a bill donating them to the
descendants of their patriotic sires.

John Kelly said in the convention that he
fought against Tilden’s nomination because it

Reformer, and that the Millennium will im-
mediatcly follow his inauguration.
The democracy deceived the women suf-
fragists again last week. The bill which
passed the House and so.dc1ightcd them, was
killed in the Senate, as a matter of course.

Morrlssey said he wanted Tilden nomina-v
ted because he had “stopped stealing and
turned reformer.” The people do not wants
reformed thief for president, but a man who
has been honest and true all through life.
Those of ourcitizens who go out of town
to celebrate to-day, should be sure to return
early to witness the fine display of fireworks
in the evening. It will probably be many
years before such another display is made in
Norwalk. .
Tilden is an exceedingly modest man—after
the fashion of Ross Tweed. Upon receiving
news of his cut-and-dried nomination be cool-
ly said that the people wanted reform and
that they had called upon the right man -to
give it to them.
The democratic bosses concluded last Fri-
day to allow the government to run on for
ten days longer. Guess by the end of that
time they will simmer down, and permit
things to run along until Tilden’s election——
which will be about doomsday.
Dan Voorhees, the old Democratic _ war
horse. boldly denounced Tilden as “a rail-
road pirate and jobber and mock reformer,
who cannot carry Indiana or other western
states.” But now that he is nominated, Dan
will probably “ work hard to secure his elec-
tion."
Mayor Daskam has recovered the bracelet
recently lost by his wife. A boy ' named
Marshall Andrews found it, and upon seeing
it advertised in the GAZETTE promptly re-
stored it ‘to its owner. Mrs. Daskam special-
ly prized it because it was the handiwork of
her husband.
The democratic leaders caused a salute to
be fired from Town House hill, Thursday
noon, in honor of the nomination of Samuel
J. Tilden. The day was hot, and somehow
the effect was all lost, upon republicans and
democrats alike. The town did not “wake
up,” worth a cent.
Miss Graziella Ridgewdy, the vocalist, for;
merly connected with the Darien Seminary,
was married in New Haven, on Wednesday
last, to Col. A. H. Robinson of that city.
The Courier says: “The wedding, which
was according to the English style, was unu-
sually brilliant in all its details, and the bri-
dal party formed a very pleasing picture.”
On Thursday last, friend Morehouse, of the
Conn. Hotel, hung his banner on the outer
wall, inscribed “ Our choice, Sam. J. Tilden.”
In the evening be illuminated the front of the
building with a score of chinese lanterns,
while a man outside entertained a crowd by
talking “cams” and selling “ sure cures.”
Kelly says that he has buried the toma-
hawk, and will work for Tilden’s election.
John will work hard, he will, for he knows
that if Tilden succeeds and gets control of the
Custom House and post office patronage the
O’Kelly head will roll in the gutter, and the
only way for him to keep his “bird in hand”
is by letting the Republicans wins. ‘

The Presidential Tiek'btsfgv
The democraticaconvcntion atffSt. Louis
has closed its boisterous session, and put in
nomination Samuel J. Tilden, of New Yigrk,
. for President, and cx‘-Senat0r~ Hendricks, of
Indiana, for Vice—President. The flrStinamcd,
though nominated on the specious pretext of
“ Reform, ” is so fully identified with all that
is bad in the dominant politics of, that party
in New York, that such a claim is little less
.than qtcring upon the canvas; under false-
pretcnse. Mr. Tilden’s authorship of the
now ill-famed secret circular sent out' while
he was chairman of the New York State
democratic Committee, requestingan approx-
imate return of votes to be telegraphed to
Tammany Hall, before the vote of N cw York
city was made up and issued, will forever
place him ou'the defensive in matters of pc-
litical integrity of action. Of Mr. Hendricks
the worst that can be said of him is that he
is an extreme party man and an infiationist
of the most radical western order. Both
men, we are glad to say, in their private
lives are of a far higher order of respectabil-
ity than our opponents are wont to put before
the people ascandidates for their suffragcs.
The convention was a very heterogeneous
and disorderly body, but from the outset it
was apparent the Tilden forces, byflicir bet-
ter organization, if not by the lavish use of
large sums of money, as charged among
themselves, had complete control. There
were hotel knock-downs and street broils
without number, as accessories to the highly
excited assembly, and thcintroduction of the
catholic priests to offer prayer in the conven-
tion, was looked upon as a cute way of mak-
ing answer to that plank in the Cincinnati
platform, which declares against scetarianism
in our public schools. The Catholic Irish and
German vote was duly weighed in this bit of
reverent or irreverent strategy. The tub-
thrown to the prevailing prejudice against
the Mongolian race was designed especially
for its supposed helpful potency in carry-
ing the Pacific States. Hendricks, the green-
back man, was pitted against Tilden, the
specie rcsumptionist so as to make a drag-net
which shall catch the gold men of the east
and the inflationists of the west.
The serious and fundamental question for
the American people to consider, is not so
much the personnel of the tickets of either
party as the principles and the persons stand-
ing behind each. Do the major portion of the
God-fearing, Bible-respecting men stand be-
hind Hayes and Wheeler or Tilden and Hen-
.dricks? This is no time for cheats and shams.
On which side are the loyal, the earnest, the
two men of the nation, who seek for no
self-aggrandiscment but ask only for honest
government—on which side do thc‘se class
themselves? If it be for Tilden, then he
should receive our votes.
all the better elements in our politics, and his
rival the worse, then Hayes is the man the
good and the true men of every old party
will feel in duty bound to support.
The following is a synopsis of the plat-
form :— . . _ _
The second article declares the administra-
tion of the Federal government in need of
immediate reform. It reaffirms the confi-
dence of the Democratic party in the perma—
nence of the Union and entire devotion to the
constitution.
Tin. third article declares for the supremacy
of the civil over the military power.
. The fourth favors the separation of church
and state.
The resotutions which follow charge
the Republican party with fraud and corrup-
tion.
The financial plank charges the Republican
party with preventing the return of specrc
payments, and decfltrcs for the repeal of the
resumption act of 1875 and asks in substance
for a more effective cure, and says that reform
in the Federal taxations is demanded as a
monstrous piece of false economy and .false
pretense which has paralyzed the industries of
the country for the benefit of the few.
The next is a declaration in favor of
economy and reform, and charges that since
the peace the people have paid more than
thrice the sum of the public debt. . '
The next charges the Republican party
with havinor thrown away the public lands,
and demands the restoration of the lands for
the use of actual settlers.
The next denounces the course of the Re-

protect a ted citizensin the exercise of
their rights in foreign countries.
The next denounces Mongolian immigra-
tion, declaring that all the women are import-
cd for immorl purposes, and the men for
little better than slaves.
The next declares in favor of civil service
reform. . .
The next arraigns Blaine, Robeson, Delano,
Williams, Schenck, Babcock and Belknak
for corruption in oflice, and charges that cor-
‘ruption is the legitimate outgrowth of the
policy of the Republican party, and that the
government can only be purified by a change
of measures and men.

The “hot spell” has now lasted ten days—p
ten days of blazing hot sun and no rain. Sun-
day last was certainly as hot as any day we
have experienced for years, the thermometer
reaching nearly one hundred in ordinary
shade, and going far above that figure when
exposed to the sun. Such extreme heat, for-
tunately, is seldom experienced in this cli-
mate Yesterday there Were clouds and
threatening weather to moderate the heat.
Messrs. A. Jackson & Bro., have removed
from the store which they have so long occu-
pied in GAZETTE Building, to the new build-
ing west of the Norwalk Hotel which they
have had erected especially for their business.
The store is avery fine one and when fully
fitted up with their silver-plated shew-eases,
black walnut cases, &c., and filled with their'
fine stock of silver ware and jewelry will be
very attractive indeed. The front is of plate
glass and light iron columns; there is a vault
in which the safe is enclosed, and the cellar
is kept for their own use so that there is no
break under the show windows to mar their
effect. Call and sec'them in their new quar-
ters.
Phoenix Engine Co. last week presented to
their ex-forcman, J. B. Ells, and cx-financial
secretary, C. WV. Lockwood, handsomely en-
grossed and framed resolutions, testifying to
the respect and esteem in which they were
held by the Company, and thanking them for
services heretofore rendered. Both of these
gentlemen have been for long years members
and officers of the Company, and on retiring
at the annual meeting in January last, a Com-
mittee was raised to provide suitable testimo—
nial resolutions, and the neat and handsome
manner in. which the vote has been carried
out speaks well for the good taste ”of the Com-
mittee, and also reflect credit upon the Com-
pany. ‘
A Norwalk Boy at the Centennial.
‘ Mr. Thomas Cousins, 2d, had quite an ex-

That $500. There'ha's been a great deal of
newspaper talk on the Main street awards.
In some cases the venom of the language
has been too apparent, as is shown in the
comments in the local of last Saturday, when
it asserted that a “great proportion of our
people look upon the award as in the interest
of a monicd man against the general welfare
of the city. ” After publishing the case over
the signatures of such old, well-known, rc-
spected and competent men as S. F. Peck,
F. H. Nash, and Geo. W. Smith, it would
seem. unwise for an itinerant pcn-ny-a—
liner to attempt to refute their assertions.
The public will be quick to decide who- is
correct. The committee one and all deny
the assertions imputed to them in the Sentinel,
and call for the proof. Mr. Ely did not ap-
proach or converse with any of the commit-
tee, or individuals of the committee, with
a view to influence them in their decision.
The members of the committee are men who
cannot be bought, dragooucd or driven. The
city meeting was not called upon to approve
the awards, but to authorize the Board of
Councilmen to expend thc‘required amount
of money to pay the aWard. ,

The benefits of “Rock Spring Water” have
been appreciated during thehot term. Every

prolific in the distribution of water over the

the air and freshening 'the lawns. The first
practical test of the power and subduing
qualities of huckleberry juice was shown 'at
the fire on Friday evening, at the burning of
R. G. Millard’s barn. In 17 minutes after
the alarm, the Hose company were at the hy-
drant, and in 3:} minutes after, the stream of
water was let on to the burning building.
The first dash seemed to deadcn the flames,
sending the clapboards hither and you. The
fire department deserve much credit for their
alacrity and success. “Old Well” was first
on the ground, but until Putnam Hose came,
they could do but little toward subduing the
flames. Assistant Engineer Craw was in
command of the department.

President Grant’s Message.
Henry Clay Trumbull, editor of the Sun-
day School Times, wrote President Grant,
soliciting some message-or word from him to
the children of America to accompany the
July number of his paper. The return mail
brought the following noble response—a mes-
sage whose words are as “apples of gold in
pictures of silver,” and worthy to live with
the record of the grandest achicvmcnts of the
great soldier president :—
To the Editor of The Sunday School Times,
Philadelphia :—
' “ Your favor of yesterday, ask-
ing a message from me to the children and
youth of the United States, to accompany
your Centennial number, is this moment re-
ceivcd. My advice to Sunday schools, no
matter what their denomination, is: Hold
fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your
liberties ;' write its precepts in your hearts,
and practice them in your lives. To the in-
fluence of this book are we indebted for all
the progress made in true civilization, and to
this we must look as our guide in the fixture.
‘ Righteousness cxalteth a nation ; but sin is a
reproach to any people.’
“Yours, respectfully,
“U. S. GRANT."
The message of the President is followed in
the Sunday School Times by a letter from
Charles Reed, which we append, and also an
eloquent Centennial address by Gen. Joseph
R. Hawley, which we would also gladly rc—
produce if we could, but must postpone for a
future occasion for lack of space—EDS.
“It is ninety-five years since Robert Raikes
founded the first Sunday School in England.
That was five years after America declared
herindependeucc. Within that time the Sun-
day School has covered both lands, and furn-
ished for the most part, the religious training
of our youth. You are keeping your high
Centennial festival. It is well. Amongst all
your thanksgiving fail not to thank God for
his holy word, and prizerit; for his holy day,
and guard it; for his will, and obey it. The
future is with you, and these are your price-
less heirlooms. I remind you of two of
America‘s noblest sous, since the words of
one complete the sentiment of the other.
George Peabody said, “Education is a debt
due by one generation to the next,” George
Washington declared that, ‘Education must
recognize’ the teaching of ‘that truth which
bids men fear God and keep his law ;’ that,
makes man love man, and all men reverence
God, whose voice is in the Bible, which, as
the only true basis for eternal, must be the
only true basis for temporal education.

Mr. J. W. Fairbanks, so well known and ap-
preciated in Norwalk, seems to have met
with excellent success during his first year as
Master of the Worcester High School. We
condensefrom tlic_§p_q, of last Saturday, the
following :— I "W 7
The graduating exercises of the senior class
of the high school were held in Mechanics’
Hall, last evening, in the presence of one of
the largest audiences ever assembled there.
Every seat and all the available standing
space was occupied, and notwithstanding the
excessive high temperature the great audience
remained intact until the exercises were con-
cluded.
Without exception the essays and orations
were of a high order of merit. They were
all original, and showed a depth of thought
and acquaintance with the subject treated to
such an extent that at the close the audience
were seemingly of one accord in speaking
praises of our high school; andasMayor Jill-
son remarked after presenting the diplomas,
it most fully exhibited the results of our free
school system.
At the close of the valedictory Mr. Fair-
banks addressed the class in a few cheering
words, and presented them to the mayor as
entitled to receive the honors of graduation.
Mayor J illson said, to the citizens of Worces-
ter he was proud to present these scholars as
the results of our free school system. The
exercises, as a whole, wcrc‘very successful,
and instead of less than a score of graduates,

Editor Hawlcy of the Courant came to the
Alabama delegates at Cincinnati and persuad-
ed them to withhold the vote of that state

himself. Will the General rise and explain.
Today Squire Andrew Selleck, retires to
the shades of private life, having served the
public continuously for fifteen years as a jus-
tice of the peace, and for some years past as
the trial justice before whom nearly all cases
were brought for decision. During that time
he has also served the public faithfully and
well as Selectman and held the other public
positions of honor and trust. In his position
as justice, which he has held for so, many
years he has been prompt. and fearless, fair
to all sidestrying honestly to decide all cases
according to their merits. He retires now
deserving the good opinion of the communi-
ty which he has served so long and well. ‘
LcGrand Bouton, youngest son of Wm. S.
Benton, Esq., was drowned in our harbor, at
South Norwalk on Monday afternoon last.
He. came up from New York that afternoon
and announced his intertion of returning the
same night. How he got into the water and
drowned is a mystery, for no outcry was
heard, the water was not deep, and he was
reorted to be a'good swimmer. It is proba-
ble that he was first stricken by the heat
wlfich was intense that afternoon. His fami-
ly have the sympathies of the community in
this sudden and mysterious bereavement.
The pulpit of the First Baptist church was

Bentley is fast recovering from the throat
difficulty which has laid him aside, and that
he only needs rest to effect a complete restor-
ation. He entered last Sabbath upon the 4th
year of his pastorate, and the Sunday School
Supt. upon the twelfth year of his labors in‘
that position. By the way, we hear that this
Society are building an addition to the rear of
the church, for the better accommodation of
