M
. IIEUSSIA AND TURKEY.
THE WAR OOMMENCED.
Fighting has commenced and war may be
said to have actively opened between the
semi-barbarous Turks and Russians. No hu-
man foresight can predict when or where the
conflict is to end. Present indications lead
to the belief that the involving of England
and other nations will be averted and that
other European powers will stand off and
profit as far as possible by the cOnflict which
is sure to be desperate and prolonged. But
herein lies the perils of neutral nations. .The
anxiety to trade and the risks which will be
taken by their citizensvto push in their wares
contraband of war, will lead, as always, to
no end of complications. As to the result,
. it seems assured at the outset on strictly
mathematical principles, Russia with its
hundred and fifty millions of people will not
ignobly surrender after having opened the
conflict. And as the Old religious or church
prejudices will be put into full exercise, and
the ancient struggle of the Cross against the
Crescent, will be the rallying cry of the
bloody contest, and its duration, fierceness
and fiendish cruelties cannot be foretold. The
Turks will fight like fiends to the bitter end,
and to the death of‘ the .last re’giment. But
in her final overthrow, which now seems
most probable,thcrc can be few regrets among
the civilized, refined and truly Christian na-
tions of the earth. The blotting out from the
earth of such a lieathenish power cannot but
accelerate human progress andaugment bless-
ings upon mankind. Russia, in her declara-'
tion of war, solemnly disclaims the purpose
of acquiring any territory as the result of
success, and professes to he wholly actuated
by regard for the oppressed Christians under
the dominion of the Turk, and as her armies
have marched upon the 'Sultan's tcritory,’
strict military orders have been issued that
no non-combatant shall be molested in person
or property, so long as he observes strict
neutrality of action. This is in accord with
the rules governing civilized warfare, but
who shall tell what “reprisals,” what “retali-
ations in kind,” the merciless butcheries of
the frenzied Turks may yet make necessary.
Great anxiety will be felt for the safety of
our many missionaries stationed in different
parts of Turkey, and they will doubtless all
have to leave the country. In this solicitude
the people of Norwalk will have a special
share, becauke of the two so well~known and.
so much beloved, who left us for that distant
field of Christian labor. ‘
The latest advices would indicate the his-
toric Danube as the probable theatre of the
first great battle, although up to Sunday no
shot had been fired; Every telegram from
the Old World will be awaited with intensest
interest as the struggle progresses. The Bus-
sians have no doubt ere this crossed to the
Turkish side of the Danube and desperate
fighting must immediately follow this aggres-
sive act. . ‘
All this vividly recalls _to our memory the
peroration of Kossuth’s great speech at the
New York press banquet, many years ago——
“The Cossack and Bazouk shall water
their steeds on the banks of the Danube,
struggle shall follow struggle as the waves
sweep the sea, for I predicter the eternal
God hears my predictiothhat there shall be_
no peace for Europe till Hungary be free.”
Now as to the probable effects this war
will have upon our owncountry the specula-
tions will be various and manifold. Our best
publicists deem it certain that a, good degree
of commercial prosperity must 'Of necessity
ensue. Of this we have already the surest
evidence. The five ocean steamers that left
New York on Saturday went laden to their
utmost capacities with grain, flour and salt
meats. These commodities have already
greatly risen in price in our own markets on
account Of this new demand. The poor man
will have to pay a higher price for his flour
and salt meats, but on the other hand, these
enormous purchases will leave a vast amount
of foreign capital with us, which must be so
generally diffused and put in circulation as
to greatly revive and promote all our business
interests. Connecticut has been especially
fortunate in this latter regard. The arms
companys at Hartford and New Haven and
the cartridge company at Bridgeport have
been pressed to their utmost capacities in fill-
ing the orders of the respective belligerents.
Our shipping interests have received 'a new
aWakening also, and ship building has receiv-
ed an impetus it has not before known since
our war. One firm in New York sold on Fri-
day last twenty thousand pairs of army blan-
kets, and large contracts for army shoes and
clothing are being made in this country. All
this will stimulate industry and production in
almost every department of our material life
and if we have to pay twelve dollars or more
for our next barrel of flour, it is sure to be a
great deal easier to get the greater number of
dollars than it was a few months since, the
fewer. "
While humanity must weep over the hor-
rors of what is sure to be at least a semi-bar-
barous war, where atrocities will shock.the
stoutest hearts, yet we are so far removed
from its sight and influences that its results
upon our own country must be to greatly pro-
mote the pecuniary prosperity and happiness
of the American people. '
The Washington monument is to be com-
pleted. The work is soon to commence, the
government furnishingethe money. When
' this monument is finished, an obelisk in honor
of the martyred Lincoln will be in order. For
that we makcthe following suggestion in plen-
ty of time for it to be carefully considered. It is
. simplythisz‘ Let the government contract with
Mr.Mower to cut out a shaft, say one hundred
feet in length, from the .Mine Hill quarry.
Yankee ingenuity, backed by “material aid”
from the government, would devise means
for transporting it to its destination and'erect-
ing it upon a proper base. Thus America
would have the greatest monument of mod-
ern times, and one out-rivalling those of an-
cient Egypt. That it is not utterly impracti—
cable is evident from the fact that a year ago
a stone was nicely cut from this quarry ten
feet longer than the famous monolith known
as Cleopatra’s Needle, which is about. being
transported from Egypt to England. We
will undertake to superintend the work, at.a
salary commensurate with the undertaking,
when the government decides to adopt Ithe
suggestion. ‘
High Schools. .
And in New Haven they are not liapp
over the High School question. A writer in
the Palladium finds serious fault that their
High Schools do not properly fit young'gents
seeking liberal education, for entrance. into
college, while graduates at the Hartford pub-
lic High Schools “are usually among the best
scholars at the entrance examinations at Yale.”
If boys expect to enter college, he says, some
other place than the New Haven High
School, for preparation, must be found. If
they. do not, “‘there are few who consider the
High School course as an equivalent for the
amount of practical knowledge which in ac-
tive business might have been acquired dur-
ing the same period.”
Pres. Hayes offered Mr. U. S. Grant and.
family free passage to Europe on a Govern-
mentvessel, but he declined, preferring to
travel as a private citizen. He will sail from
Philadelphia on the 17th inst.
The lower end, of France street looks
“queer. ” The ‘old Dickersoii place has final
1y departed, and the old site will know it no
more. Mr. Lockwood is making good pro-
gress with his substantial-looking stone fence,
set in to the new line. New fences are also
being built each side of Mr. Homer Merrill‘s
new residence. The street has been wonder.
fully improved ‘Of late years. '
ADVERTISING.
Many otherwise intelligent business men
have the most inadequate ideas of the power
and advantages of judicious and truthful
' advertising. Somewho indulge in it do so
with a half-feeling that after all it is a sort of
donation made the printer. Not so those who
comprehend its possibilities. P. T. Barnum
has assured us over and over again that he
would not liiive been worth a dollar but for
the lavish use of printer’s ink. Dr. J. C. Ayer
has also assured us that his colossal fortune
(estimated from two to five millions) was en;
tirely created by extensive advertising. Bon-
ner, of the Ledger, has published to the
world over and over again, that his money
was made by this means, and that it came
pouring into his coffers with as niuclicertain-
ty as increased crops followed the farmer’s
use of fertilizers.
Take for example any of our own mer-
chants and business men, who have made a
local name and fame for success and we will
show. you one who has found out the secret
of letting the public know what advantages
they are capable of conferring upon their pat—
rons. There is but one possible contingency
in which it does not surely benefit the dealer
to advertise. If his stock is such that it will
not bear inspection, or if he is- ashamed to
let people know what he keeps, he should by
no means give it publicity. He should take
down his sign, and as a rule, the sooner he
puts up his shutters, too, the better for him-
self and his creditors. But if he wants every
one to know what he keeps and of any spe-
cial inducements he is able to offer customers,
he cannot give such facts too wide publicity.
First then, we would advise, keep a good as-
sortment of whatever line of goods you sell;
second, sell them as cheaply as your compet-
ing neighbor, and if possible make a special-
ty of some one thing and sell that a little be-
low ruling prices; third, make your advertise-
ments just as taking and attractive as you try
to make your goods; fourth, do not make
any false statements in your Advs.; fifth, be
as wide-awake, energetic and careful to please
as is possible in your nature to be, and never
make any statements about your goods you
cannot or will not' abundantly back up.
Now, in this connection, we feel justi-
fied in naming Comsrocx Buos. as a local
example of the successes sure to follow the
plan of advertising we have outlined above.
They advertise largely ; do it judiciously, wise.
ly and constantly. Their stock and their
prices always warrant and justify their ad-
vertised statements.
The public is sure to discern the difference
between those whose enterprise leads them to
extensive advertising, and to prefer them to
deal with. The same liberality «which
prompts the advertisement and the same bus-
iness sagacity runs all through such a man’s'
dealings, so that it has come to be a proverb
that the best bargains are to be secured from
those who advertise the most. Merchant,
business man, mechanic, artisan, if at all de-
pendent upou the public favor and custom,
wake up and try the experiment of adverti-
sing, judiciously, but as largely as possible,
and you will thank us for our timely Sugges-
tions. I
New Citizens.
Supt. Sandiforth’s family have moved into
the Cornwall place, on Camp street, the past
week. They come from New Jersey, and
hereafter are to cast their lot among us Ya -
kees. We trust they will remain and prosper
with us for years to come. They have loca-
ted in onb of the pleastantcst portions of the
town.
Potter, our well-known piano and organ
dealer, having bought a fine building lot on
Camp street, has been as busy asja bee, for a
week, with a gang of carpenters, masons,
carmen and laborers, in taking down and re-
moving from Danbury a large barn which he
will re-ercct on his new lot. He will also
put up during the summer a first-class cot-
tage and take up his permanent residence
among us. We gladly welcome him as a cit-
izen.
Postmaster Olmstead has at last fallen a
victim to the raging epidemic of Spring time
and is “cleaning up" and putting in new and
greatly improved glass fronts to his post of-
fice boxes. By narrowing, these, two impor-
tant benefits are realized, one to the Depart-
ment, as it gives more boxes for rental with-
in the old compass, and the other to the pat-
ron whose letters will now stand up instead
of falling down flat, and at times escape ob-
servation from the outside. The new num‘
bering is a great improvement on the old
boxes. This general brush up is fully war-
ranted by the now ccrtain prospect of our
worthy P. M. having attained to that good
church “gift of continuance.”
The democracy left the State of Connecti-
cut in a pretty fixlast week—absolutely head-
less. The Governor went .to \Vashington,
the Lieut.-Govcrnor to Florida, and the Pres—
ident of the Senate to Europe. In this emer-
gency it was the duty of the Secretary of
State to call the Senate together to elect a
President pro tem. But the State will get
along all right without going to that expense.

cipal, and has succeeded in winning‘ the re-
spect and esteem of the people of the District!

tions of the town. life congratulate him
upon his advancement to this new position
although we regret to have him leave Nor:
walk. Our loss is New Haven’s gain.
Dian—Jo Scipioville, Cayuga Co.-, New.
York, on Saturday, the '14th of April, Mr.
Uriah Benedict, in the 94th year of his age.
Mr. Benedict was a native of Norwalk,
and was born and brought up in the old
Benedict homestead, now owned and occu-
pied by Wm. H. Benedict. Only one sister
remains—Mrs. Levi Scribner, of Wilton,
now in her 92d year. Mr. Benedict moved
to Central New York, Town of Scipio, some
sixty-five years ago and has since resided
there. He held the Office of Elder in the
Presbyterian church at the time of his death,
which office he had held over fifty years. He
has gone, as we trust, to meet his reward in
Heaven. .

An old land mark was removed last week
to make way for improvements. The old
Dickerson homestead,atintersection of North
Avenue and France staeet, was rolled tlirOugli
the streets on Friday and Saturday last to a
new resting place just east of the Danbury
Railroad track, on the old St. John property,
near Center District School House.
Mr. LaFayettc Giles had a narrow escape
\Vednesday evening. He attempted to cross
the Danbury track, on the New Canaan
road,.homeward bound, as a train was ap-
'proaching. A passer-by called to him, but
he did not hear the warning. Another man
rushed up and stopped him, just in time. He
jumped out and held the frightened horse,
but as the last car passed by, the animal
on a run. __________
The Union Co. have felt the effects of the
hard times quite seriously as well as their op
eratives. They have had some one hundred
cases of goods returned so badly damaged by
moths as to require rc-dyeing and dressing.
Sales have been slow,also, the past two yeam,
and their last inventory showed a manufac-
tured stock on hand unsold of, nearly five
hundred thousand dollars. ,The great war
now opened in Europe will'bave a tendency,
it is thought, to relieve tlieAmcrican markets
of heavy woolen goods, as well as those of
Europe.

The sensation of the past week has been
the destruction by fire of all the eastern por-

have caught from the Philadelphia midnight
express up and'as it was dry and the wind high,
in a few hours was totally consumed. The
railroad company at once set to work to con-
struct a temporary structure until a new Iron
Bridge can be erected. ‘Meantime carriages
were put in requisition to carry passengers,
mails and baggage around, viz. : Mianus
Bridge. A foot bridge was furnished on
Saturday and a temporary track will be com-
pleted by the middle of the week. The
officers of the road have worked with great
energy and done what they could to prevent
passengers. The delay of trains have bee

Fires on Long Island.
During most of last week great fires have
been raging in the pine forests on Long Island.
The horizon has'been heavily clouded with
smoke by day and illuminated by lurid light
at night. Some ten thousand acres are report-
ed as having burned over, one life lost, and
several houses and barns destroyed. The line
of the fire is between the East and West side
railroads and has proved unprecedented in
its damage.
President Lincoln once said to us concern-
ing General Sherman after his start for Geor-

pleasant. The house is_ supplied with gas,
Borough water, heater, &c. It is right in the
village, yet retired, and is a specially desir-
able place for any business man. It is now
completed ready for occupancy. Mr. Rum-

the delight of her audience. She said after-
ward she did not wish to sully Mis Dickin-

her possession of the “Crown of Thorns,”
but only wished to give her audience a fair
