High School Town Meeting.
A town meeting of more than ordinary im-
portance is to be held on Friday next, to 'act
'upon a report ter made by the committee
appointed .to prepare a_plan for a single
' High School in the town and a discontinua-
tion of our present system of several half-
way grades of a higher order, attached to the
established schools. The committee was the
most thoroughly competent that the town
could secure, and they, after much labor and
the most careful consideration, are prepared
to present their plan. It is, in few words, to
establish this High or Classical school at the
Over River school house; to reduce expenses
of the other schools and confine them in
practical, business instruction, and thus effect
a saving of our present total taxation for
schools, (which has swelled to the enormous
figure of nearly thirty thousand dollars per
'annum(, by several hundred dollars. In fine
tlle committee believe their plan will result
in more thoroughness and efficiency in all
the older schools, with a single collegiate
grade, for the benefit of such as desire higher
scholarships, and all at a less cost than our
present system. The only point of differ-
ence among our school men who have paid
most attention to the whole subject, is as to
the mode of selecting the Superintendent.
But this difiiculty may be easily avoided by
enacting that he be nominated by the State
superintendent of schools. Thus all evils
possible to arise from partisanships of any
kind or locality rivalries will be avoided.
The question is one of grave moment to
Our town, and we hope our best citizens will
not fail to be present in such numbers as to
ensure wise and definite action in whatever
may be done, on Friday, at 2 p. m.

Rev. Mr. Hamilton preached two discour-
ses, Sunday, to young men. He ranged his
guns, however, so as to pretty effectually
cover men Of all ages and our town in partic-
ular. As to Norwalk, his criticism was in a
word that it needed elevation._ ' In habit,
taste, and general tendency, we were as a
people, he thought, sadly deficient in any
high mental or moral aspiration for the bet-
ter. We fear the person’s judgment is too
well founded. There is here, a growing
disregard of law, of the rights of others, and
that kindly effort to promote each other’s
welfare that is n'eedful for individual protec-
tion, happiness or prosperity: An idle
brain is the devil’s work-Jhop, and it may
be, that the lack of occupation, is one cause
for the congregating together about our vil-
lage of So many, from whom better things
ought to be expected, for the purpose of
gossippiug about their neighbors affairs. Of
the gamins that nightly roam our streets,it is
not an exaggeration to say that the_ young
Arabs of New York are not as vicious, law-
less, or moraly filthy. Then the apparent
thoughtlessness- with which many of our
better classes encourage or tolerate the low
and blackguardinfiuences actively at work
here for the demoralization of all that is
beneficial or ennobling, is not an encourag-
ing fact. It is most hurtful to us abroad as
to our gocd name and more hurtful to us at
home,both from its degrading tendencies and
theinjury it inflicts on buSINSH-nl every
other valued interest.
A member of one of Norwalk’s most
ancient and honored families in writing us
expressing her thanks for the notice given
the late Frederick St. John, indulges in
some reflections showing the mutations of
life and the way the town’s old families are
becoming extinct. Of the Henry Belden family
she says none are living, and the same may
be added of the Isaac’s, now extinct
as a Norwalk ' family. The Sher-
man’s of Ohio, now so famous, sprang
from one of Norwalk’s original families. but
none of that name are now known to reside
here. The circles of relatives of such of the
earlier families in our towns history as are
still represented here, are rapidly narrowing
as the years go by, -
Methodist ministers may be good beggars
for the church, but they are also free grvers.
They have just raised among themselves the
sum of $12,260 for Wesleyan College. Rev.
Mr. Jones is reported as subscribing $150 to
this objeCt. In addition to the above amount
Oliver Hoyt gave $40,000, a New York man
$25,000, and a Brooklyn woman $6,000. It
would seem unnecessary to call upon preach-
ers to contribute from their slender salaries,
to such institutions, when such liberal be-
quests arc made by wealthy lay members.
Mayor Ely has become an authority in the
Poultry Journals of the country, as his
brother has in the Horticultural and Agri-
cultural lines. But the Mayor mrrst have a
care to-his laurc'ls as our own Mr. Chas. E.
St. John has the hen-fever somewhat and is
already reading up authorities and experi-
menting with the various choice breeds of
gallinace'ous birds. We have been there our:
selves and can fully realize how much more
fascinating than profitable the pursuit of this
occult science is. More than once have we
been disheartened to see our neighbor’s
frowsy dung hills give their owner an egg a
day, while our stall-fed $25 trios, wouldn’t
give .us more than an egg a week. But then,
after all, there's fun in it, and we hear our
friend Cram has also been slightly struck
with the disease.
Fire Police.
At the annual meeting of the Fire Po-
lice, held at their rooms on Wednesday even-
" ing last, the following officers Were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Joseph W.
Wilson; Captain, A. J. Meeker; 1st Ser-
geant, Charles Olmstead; 2d Sergeant, Geo.
N. Ells; Secretary, Ferd. B..Smith; Treas-
urer, Daniel C. Nash; Investigating Com-
mittee, T. S. Stout, Charles E. Brown, Chas.
J. Taylor, Geo., B. Gregory, Geo. F. Belden;
Finance Committee, John Cotter, Geo. N.
Ells, Mark Harris. The company seems to
be in a flourishing condition.
A recent San Francisco journal has along
article descriptive of the works of Deming,
Palmer & 00., the “Mighty Millers” of that
city. The firm has a capital of $100,000, and
the mills work up some thirty-five tons of
grain daily, or nearly eleven thousand tons
annually. The machinery is moved by an
engine with 135 horse power capacity. The
trade of the firm extends to the islands of
the Pacific, and as far as the Amoor river in
Asia. Two young gentlemen well known in
Norwalk, Messrs. Ward Smith and Charles
A. Maybury are connected with the Mills,
and we believe one of the proprietors was
also formerly a resident of this town.
Some dastardly scoundrel threw a stone
through the front window 'of Mr. S. Van
Hoosear’s residence, last Friday evening. It
was thrown with such force that it tore a hole
through the curtain and passed 'though the
sitting-room to the dining-room. Mrs. Van
Hoosear was entertaining several visitors in
the room, but no one was hit.
Hereafter there will bea horse car down
every morning at 5:40 connecting with the
early morning trains on the New Haven road.
What a pity there couldn’t be one up also,
from the 3 o’clock p. to. express out of N. Y.
without the present detention of passengers.
The following persons have been installed as

Tire Business Revival.
In nothing is the sure prosperity in business
showing itself so plainly as the rapidly grow-
ing increase of our exports. Our ocean
steamers now leave our shores heavily laden
with American products, instead, as was the
case till within afew monthspast, going over-
light and returning freighted with our pur-
chases from abroad. In the one article
of meats our export trade has suddenly
grown into enormous proportions, as the fol-
lowing statistics prove. The cifect of this
new trade with all Europe will soon be felt‘
in every part of our country.
The exports of fresh beef continue to in-
crease. The quantity shipped to Great Brit-
ain from New York and Philadelphia in
March amounted to 0713855 pounds, valued
at $590,085, makinga total in nine months of
29,908,810 pounds, valued at $2,076,384.
From'a statement published by the Bureau of
Statistis, it appears that during the twelve
months ending February, 1877, the exports
of bacon and hams were 442,034,773 pounds;
of beef, 66,383,576 pounds; ofpork, 65,683,-
118 pounds; of lard, 223,978,442 pounds, and
of tallow, 86,537,491 pounds, of the aggre-
gate value of $96,177,766. Of the above,
there were shipped from New York 236,872,-
227 pounds of beef, 37,734,580:pounds .of
pork, 160,340,491 pounds of lard, and 57,045,
916 pounds of follow. It is not generally
known that in addition to the large quanti-
ties of fresh beef which the United States is
sending abroad, nearly as much more must
be added in the shape of canned beef. Our
exports of food are increasing every trip near-
ly; and now we are not only feeding Europe
with grain, but are providing it with these
enormous quantities of fresh meat. \
Four steamers sailed from New York on
Saturday, for Europe, carrying hedce hun-
dreds of tons of fresh beef. The Cit of
Richmond, forLiverpool,took200,000 . s
of beef; the Celtic 275 tierccs of beef; the
California, for Glasgow, took 2000 quarters
of fresh b‘cef and 347 ticrces, with a large
number of live ,sheep. All the vessels took
large quantities of pork and bacon, also.
One hundred thousand bushels of wheat and
butter, lard, &.c., in enormous quantities. It
is a subject of encouraging contcrnplatiou
that within the past few weeks, 'cr twenty
million pounds of American beef have left
our shores for Europe. One novel shipment
on the California, Saturday, was two horse
cars. She also took 375 bags of oil cake,
2000 hogsheads of syrup and 150 bales of
hops; 54 horses, .153 sheep and 1300 kegs of
butter. The Neckar took 100 tons of agricul-
tural implements, and 400 barrels of dr'cd
apples. ' The City of Richmond took 100 bar-
rels of oysters, 100 tons of fresh beef, 100
bales of hops, 30 tons of leather, and 80 tons
of agricultural implements. Who shall deny
that this nation is fast coming to be the great
feeding reservoir of the world, as well as fur-
manufacturcs ‘2
The little child of A. H. Byingtyn, of Nor—
walk, was severely bitten by. a Spitz dog the
other day—New Hanan Palladium.
The only foundation for the above is, that
our little boy was very slightly bitten by a
Spitz which another child had set on him.
The dog’s teeth passing through three thick-
nesses of his garments, left barely a scratch
upon his leg, the wound being more in the
nature of a bruise than a bite and at one
point only was the skin punctured and blood
drawn. There is not the remotest reason to
suppose the dog to have been rabid and the
slight wound is now entirely healed. We
deeply regret that an exaggeration like the
above should have gotten into print as it has
needlessly alarmed many kind friends,—-wlro
have; been daily writing and accosting us—
with a solicitude, we do not ourselves feel to
be justified by so trivial an occurrence.
The Norwalk Cigar Company’s opening
created quite a sensation last Wednesday
evening. The city Band was present, and a
crowd of smokers came up from the City to
honor the occasion. All comers were treated
to free cigars. Somebody seemed to think
that where there was so: much smoke there
must be some fire, and so an alarm was sound-
ed and part of the department rushed Out,
only to find it a false alarm.
One of Goo. O. Keeler’s horses made it
lively for a few minutes up Main street, last
Tuesday afternoon. Geo. Mills was loading
up some empty boxes into a lumber-hex
wagon, at the old store foot of Main street,
when the horse took fright and started up so
suddenly that Mills and the boxes were
precipitated to the ground, while the horse
with his heavy wagon careercd on up Main
street, striking against and demolishing a
light buggy standing in front of Doty’s meat
market. The owner Mr. Whitlock of Silver
Mine, was thrown out under the ruins of his
wagon, but he pluckily held on to the reins
and kept his horse, a spirited young one,
from running. In the meantime Geo. Mills
recovering his feet had run up street after his
steed, which he overtook and climbing up
into the hind end of the wagon, seized the
reins and stopped him just in time to avoid
another collision. ' Mill’s deed was heartily
applauded by all who saw it.
Notices are posted up at the Union Co.’s

The two cross formers, (wool machines)
just completed at the Union Co’s Mill for a

American mechanicsin general and Mr. John
H. Aiken the builder, in particular. .They
are to go to Gingen, Wurtemberg.

The High School-
If the re-organization of our public schools
is to be carried at the town meeting, the
measure will require the attention and sup-
port of its friends. No matter how good the
plan is, it will not carry itself. It will not
even make itself understood without the aid
of somebody. NO reform, no improvement,
no good work of any sort was ever put
through by sitting down and waiting for
somebody else to act. Those who believe in
having the worth of whatever money is paid
for schools, as well as those who believe in
having good schools, ought to come out and
decide this issue; for in truth the plan pro
posed is now in danger of defeat—chiefly
from the slurs cast upon it by those who once
committed themselves to it in every detail.
One man “does not want to have his district
meddlcd with by a superintendent; another
doesn’t know what is going to become of
himself. These are sufficient reasons why
these men should make a. personal matter of
it, but they are no reasons why the people—
the tax payers shouldn’t come forward and
decide the matter for their own. interests.
Look at the matter for yourselves—A high
school , a superintendent are provided for
—twd“ngs which no . good system of
schools has ever pretended to do without.
One is good for nothing without the other.
The measure is a. move in the direction of
.progress, and it is an immediate saving of
expense to the town—and the figures can be
produced to proveit.

ter, whether members of a. Congregational
church or any other, or not church members.
All such, desirious to join this association, are
cordially invited to attend this meeting. The
question for bebate is as follows: Does a pro-
fessional life furnish nrorc and better oppor-
tunities for doing good to others than a life
spent in business of another kind?

Dr. Charles P. Uhlc, having relinquished
the practice of his profession here, removed
his family to his old home in New Jersey, on
Tuesday last. This action was rendered al-'
most necessary, the precarious condition of
the Doctor's health compelling ,him to seek
rest, and change of scene and climate. Dur
ing his stay in Norwalk he won hosts of friends
and succeeded in building up a large and le-
mulrative practice. As a physician he was
faithful and devoted to his patients, kind and
gentle but firm in his treatment and constant
in care and attention, winning the respect
and esteem of all. In society he was a pleas-
ant and agreeable gentleman, ever cheerful
and courteous. He takes with him the best
wishes of the community of which he has so
long formed a part, for his speedy restoration
to health and usefulness. His plans for the
future are not yet matured, but he will prob
ably settle in some other State and resume
the mice of his profession. We cheerful-
ly end him to the people of any place
in which he may decide to.become aresident.
The Doctor intends to return here again soon,
in order to further settle his business affairs
before finally leaving this section of country.

Rev. Mr. Diossey, chaplain of the 28th
Regiment Connecticut Volunteers during the
late war, was in the city on Thursday last,
and called upon some of his companions of
Co. G. Man reminisences of the wa'r, and
especially 0 Port Hudsouéwhich place he
has visited) were related. e is under the
impression that the city is growing very
slowly.
Burglars are at work in and around the
City. On Tuesday night Mrs. Smith who
lives in the house owned by Ira Seymour, on
Monroe street, near the railroad track, was
awakened by a noise at the window ; rousing
her husband from his sleep, he proceeded to
the room, and as he opened the blinds saw
two men run across the yard. Having no
means Of defence, he concluded not to follow
them, but in the morning traced them by
their footsteeps in the dirt to and around the
nursery.
A new kind of moterial is now being much

probably is used for its cheapness, and not
because it is better than good gravel.

the High School question. There has been

too serious and important a subject to be

A meeting in behalf of the cause of Tem-
perance was held in the Congregational
church" on Sunday afternoon. Since the
meeting in Music Hall some weeks since, a
greater interest has been manifested, and
efforts made to organize for the propogation
of Temperance principles, and furthering the
cause. Few take hold in earnest, and there
seems an unwillingness to use such efforts as
the noble men and women of the Borough
do. A few such meetings as that of last
Sabbath will do much good in showing all
how they may aid in this great and glorious
work.
The City Board of Councilmen held a
meeting last night to consider how to aid in

For Nervous nobility. Lost Vitality,_Uri—
nary Diseases, and Broken-down Constltutrons,
world is challenged to find the equal of Dr. S. D.
Howe’s Arabian Tonic Blood Purifier. ' It builds
you right square up. still
Dr. Schcnck’s Standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are Sonnncx’s PULMONIC annr,
Scnnrvcx’s SEA WEI-1D TONIC, and Scnrxcx’s
MANnRARn fins, and if taken before the lungs
are destroyed, a speedy crrrc is effected. '
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pnlmonrc Syrup ripcns the morbid matter I
in the lungs; nature throws it 011' by an easy ex-
pectoratidn; for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
a slight cough w 11 ~throw it 011', the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal. .
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schcnck’s Mandrake Pills'and Schcnck’s Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schcnck’s Mandrake Pills act
on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver l‘s
soon relieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterativc; the alkali of which it is "composed
mixes with the food and prevents soaring. It
assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to
a healthy condition, so that the food and the Pul-
monlc Syrup will make good blood; then the
lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if
care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schcnck either pro-
fessionally or by lettqr, can do so at his principal
oflicc. corner Sixth and A rch Sts., Philadelphia,
every Monday. .,
Sehcnck’s mctlicrncs are sold by all druggists
throughout the country. 2m10
