Forest Fires.
_ C Grgat._damage was, done last week by for-
” est fires which'ra‘ged fiercely on Lonir Island,
several points on both shores of theiHudson
River, in Penusylvania,Ncw lInmpshire,llIass-
achusetls, Quadamnd Northern N. Y. In the
latter place the fires proved fearfully destruct-
ive. Mills,farln houses and whole villages were
destroyed, an area of tllirty by twelve miles
on the Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain rail-
road being burned over. 111 New Hampshire
the woods on the W hite Mountains were on
fire, and large forest. fires raged in Vermont.
The destruction of property throughout the
North, by these fires, has been very great,—
amounting to millions of dollarsit is reported.

l’res. Ilayes does not seem-averse to how
ing a good time ocasionally, even if he will
not visit Long Branch. He held receptions
and shook hands with thousands of people in
New York last week, uncovered the Halleck
statue and made a presentation speech, dined
with J ohn Jacob Astor, and allowed himself
to he lionized as much as ally of his predeces--
scls. He was handsomely received every-
where, although Gov. Tilden avoided meet-
ing him at a public dinner.
l‘vIcAdamized Road.
The-Port Chester firm of McAdam road
makers having taken hold of that abortive at-
tempt at road making in front of the residen-
ces of Messrs. James and Bishop. have given
our people a fdlt' sample of what kind of a
highway we 92; J have if. there is wisdom
enough in our people to demand it. A full
halt" etntury’s experience. and more has
proved this to be the best system of provin-
cial highway ever devised. Those who have
seen the country roads of England thus laid
down costing next to nothing in annual re-
‘ pairs, can but wonder that this system is not
more generally adopted in this country. Ito
is cheap, it is good and lasting as time itself.
Some years ago when the subject was before
our people, quite a number of property own-
ers between tlle Bridge and South Norwalk
voluntarily offered to pay half the cost of
layi down the McAdam roadway in front
01" t property, leaving only a half to be
paid by general tax. In I‘Vasllington one third
of all paving of streets is assessed on each
opposite owner, leaving but a third to be
paid out of the general tax, and this is
thought to be both equitable and fair to city
and property holders.
The City Firelllcn’s Parade.
Chief Kinney assures us that there was no
desire on the part of the authorities to divide
his duties and honor in- the coming parade,
but that he invited Major Doty to act in that
capacity as a compliment to the gallant Ma-
jor, who has proved himself the Fireman’s
friend. . With Doty and Kinney the city
firemen will not lack competent leaders.
The Port Chester Engine 00., will bring
seventy men and a Band. The Bands from
the East will arrive at 1:23 p. m. -
The following companies have been invited:
By the Hook 8: Ladder Co.—Norwalk Fire
Police and the following H. A: L. Companies:

bury, Relief of Stamford, Westport, \Vasll-
ington of Danbury, and a company from

A meeting of'tlle Fire Police will be held
this evening to act upon an invitation to par-

accept. ' '
Band Concert.
On the evening of the Firemen’s parade,
l’homix Engine Company will give a grand
land Concert at the Opera House, Borougll.‘
They are negotiating for a first-class Band,
and our people :may rest assured that a dc-
liglltful musical entertainment will be given.
The war news from the East is not yet very
exciting. Tllc principal armies are still cu-
gaged in preliminaries, alld no battle of im.
portance has so far been reported. Skirmish-
illg continues on the Danube, and the armies
are quite active in Asia Minor. Reports are
very unsatisfactory, and there is no knowing
what to believe. Many of them are contra-
dicted as soon as made.
Good entertainments have been very scarce
ill Norwalk lately, alld we are surc‘our music
ulovers will be glad to welcome Miss Maria S.
Braillerd and her associates, who will soon
appear at Music Hall in Donizetti’s comic
Opera “Don Pasquale.” Although an old
concert favorite, this is Miss Braincrd’s first
appearance here in Opera; Tllc company re-
cently performed in Yonkers where they gave
e {cellent satisfactior.
M11.1’1‘All‘l‘.—It is now said that the Second
and Fourth Regiments will be the ones order-'-
ed to encalnp next Fall, and that the camp
gl'ound'will be on the line of the railroad
somewhere between New Haven and New
York. Norwalk is just the place exactly.
Send the boys along.

Commodore White’s steamboat Neversink,
formerly of this route,started from New York
on Friday last with‘Sec. of War McCrary,
and other officials on board bound eastward
on a tour of inspection of Government Forts,
dzc. They go unannounced ‘expecting to
drop in unexpectedly upon different officials
and so find out the' exact condition and pres-
ent cfiicicncy of the works. It is rumored
thatabout the lst of J unc the chcrsink is to
be chartered at a good price to parties for use
in. and about Newport Harbor, Rhode Island.
The Rockaway excursion boat building at
Williamsburg to take the place of the lost
Rockaway has an immense gang, of men at
work on her and is expected to be ready for
launching on the 29th instand'to commence

The details of the death Of Mr. Trowbridgo‘
at Barbadoes, render the circumstances more‘
distressing than at first reported. He was but
slightly bitten by a little pet house dog, he
had but recently purchased. The dog had
not,before, nor has be since, manifested any
symptoms of rabies oeren sickness of any
sort. Nothing whatever was thought of the
slight wound made by the teeth of the dog,
1101‘ was it until after the period that tlle‘llor-
rible disease usually manifests itself, that
Mr. T. was seized with the terrible disease
that terminated his life. '
Fred. Mead, of the Gazette Building Saloon
has commenced vigorous operationsin his Ice
Cream Department. He serves his very best
cream—fund in quality especially he challenges
competition—at; ten cents per plate in the
saloon, and at forty cents per quart; put up ill
cans or boxes for taking home, or will send it,
out properly iced for keeping at a small ad-
vance. He says that he intends to furnish at
these rates the best-cream cvcrscrved in Nor-
walk', and he wants you to call and judge for
" yourself.
Mr. P. Dorlon the owner of the Gregory“
Point. House is fitting up and furnishing the
House anew, and is, we [understand to give
it his personal supervision this season, under
his management there can be no doubt of its
being a justly popular and well kept place of
summer resort. There is not'a bitter location
any where along the Cost for a first~class house.
The Borough \Vatcr is growing in popular-
ity'and is fast becoming a necessity every-
where. Borough Treasurer Merrill introduc-
ed it into his store on the Bridge, last week.

ful Hall of Pequonnock Lodge, Bridgeport.
Nearly two hundred representatives from the
different Lodges in the State were present.

The Festival Season.
Our friends of the 2nd Methodist E. church
have decided to hold their annual Strawberry
Festival on the evening of June 19th and 20th
and are now preparing for the gOod time
coming. .
'I' 11c Yonkers Gazette says :——“A rare musi
cal treat is in store for the people of N orwalk,
Conn. Donizetti’s comic opera of “ Don Pas-
quale” is to be performed there on Wednes-
day cvening, May 30th, with almost. the same
cast as when recently presented in Washburn
llall.” , . .
The Ladies Aid Society of the. First Bap-
tist Church announce in our advertising col-
umns a Social Tea Party, to be given at
Lockwood’s Hall, Friday evening of this
week. As their “Tea” will be ready at six
o’clock, let us all go and “take tea and spend
the evening” with them.
ScliooIFebtival.
The public schools of So. Norwalk promise
as a treat this week Friday evening, in 111%
shape of a second grand school festival. No
pains have been spared to make this a most
interesting occasion. ' Classes in Map Draw-
ing and Calisthenics will perform. The
dumb bclls, furnished with the proceeds of
the last entertainment, will be used introduc-
ing the famous Anvil Chorus. ' The evening
will be enlivened with Songs, Choruses, Re-
citatious, etc. The beautiful May pole dance
will, by request, be repeated, but with the
additional feature of crowning the Queen of
May. T he proceeds will be used to defray
the expense of the class graduating from the
High School department, July 3d.
Railroad Changes!
The summer time-tables for the Danbury
and Norwalk and Sllepaug railroads, goes
into operation on Monday next,28thinst.,
and make an important change on the She-
paug road which gives tllcm two trains from
New York per day, insteadof one, as for the
past two seasons. The trains from South
Norwalk for Danbury and Litchficld will
connect with the 8 a. m. and 3 p. m. trains
from New York, and the 4:25 p. m. train
from South Norwalk will be run as an ex-
press, stopping at N orwalk,-Wilton,-‘ Branch-
villlc and Bethe], which will enable the train
on the Sllepaug to reach Litchfield at least
half a hour earlier than heretofore, which
will, we are sure, be duly appreciated by all
passefirs on the road.
The new arraangcment will enable :people
residing here and on the line of the Danbury
road to go “up the Shepaug,” and return the
same day,‘(luring the next six months, and-
will, we believe, be much patronized by our
people whorlesire to visit the valley. We
are glad to learn that the Sllcpaug Road is
steadily growing in receipts, and the owners
feel that the good tiine coming is not so far
off as once thought. Noehange is made in
the up trains, not connecting with the She-
paug, on the Danbury and Norwalk road.
A social meeting of the Young MefiAs-
sociation of the First Congregational Church
will be held on Friday evening. Thefollow-
ing question will be debated: “Ought the
right of suffrage to be conferred upon wo-
men, whereby tliey would have permission to
vote upon questions, either moral or politi-
cal 1"” All are invited to attend and take part
*the debate.
Ex-President Grant and family sailed for
Europe on \Vednesday last. President Hayes
sent them a congratulatory dispatch which
was delivered on board the steamer while out
in the stream abOut to sail. The following
pleasant answer was l'eturnetniy Gen. Grant,
which was delivered to President Hayes on
his return from New York to Washington:
“Mrs. Grant joins me in thanks to you and
Mrs. Hayes for your kind message received
on board this steamer after pushing out from
the wharf. We unite in returning our cor-
dial greetings and in expressing our best
wishes for your health, happiness, and suc-
cess in your most responsible position. Hop-
ing to return to my country to find it pros-
perous in business and with, cordial feelings
restored between all sectiw submit my-
self, truly yours, . S. GRANT.
Golden Wedding.
Another of those rare yet delightful do-
mestic events so few live to experience, is to
transpire on Wednesday. Fifty years ago
Henry Kellogg and Currence Bandy were
then joined. in holy matrimony: Up and
down life’s hill have they walked till now,
and the children and friends propose empha-
sizing the event by a reception throughout
the afternoon and evening of that day, when
congratulations will be in order. ‘ The vener-
able spouse has been always a f‘mother in
Israe ” all about our town to any in sickness
Or distress, and we hope their'many friends
will utilize this occasion to render the aged
pair some more substantial cvidence’of appre-
ciation than mere hand shakings, so that the
happy event may be made doubly joyous.
Danbury must have an eye to her laurcls.
Somehow,our Norwalk horses seem to have got
hold of Beantown oats, and upon the slight-
est provocation up go their heads and flop go
their tails and tlleu our town is regaled with
a. genuine Danbury run—away. The horse
jockeys and horse doctors look - on all this
with quiet glee, but our staid inhabitants;
after the fort y-nintll or fiftietll runaway,
have come to the calm conclusion that even
this thing is becoming a little monotonous.
But then with five newspapers to chronicle
“passing events," what would we all do for
local items without these new regular run-
aways ?
Well there! If Wm. C. Street‘s octogcna-
rian bob-tail hasn't caught the distemper and
elevated his ancient stump of a tail and run
away with all the exhileratioh of a colt;
What are we coming to? '
Andrew Jackson, of W'iltonfizft his team
standing in Water street, Friday afternoon,
while he went into W. C. Street & Co.’s store
on some errand. While there-his horses ' got
frightened, wheeled around and dashed down

post in front'of. C. T. Leonard .95 Son's office.

BY' OUR. LOCAL REPORTING:
The trial of Orrin A. Tuttle on complaint
of abuse and theatcning to shoot his wife,
took place before Justice Crew on Tuesday.
The evidence in regard to the threat was not
contradicted, most of the other evidence was
unfit for publication. The accused was found
guilty and fined one dollar and cost, amount-
ing to about ten dollars. ,
Our Board of Councilmen, without trans-
acting any business, adjourned from Mon-
day to Wednesday eveningwwhen the propo-
sition to build a s_wer in asllington street
was fully discussed by every member of the
Board. A difference of opinion was manifested
in regard to the necessity of a sewer at res-
ent,or whether it was to be for public or private
benefit mostly. The question was finally put
to vote, and it was ordered that an 18 inch
sewer should be built, from the westerly line
of the Bank to the harbor, 25 per cent. of
the cost to be taxed upon the city.
Charles Blood was arrested by Constable
Dayton on the charge of Qrging the name of
Silas P. Tuttle, it is understood to a receipt.
An examination was held and Blood was com-
mitted to the Bridgeport jail for trial at the
next term of the Superior Court.
It has been discovered in scanning the bills
paid for work upon the streets of the city
that the greater part- ls paid to non-residents
and non-taxpayers on the. city list, while
wmk out their taxes, even at: $1.50 per day.
Col. Cunnigbam continues to crop the grass
'on his lawn until it:is as short as the hair on
a boy’s head, r being cropped by the bar-
ber. The co st between the lawn and the
luxuriant grass on the adjoining ground is
very beautiful, all being in good taste.
Steamboat travel was increased during the
hot days of last week. We trust that. our
country friends will excuse the condition of
Washington street sidewalks. They will be
in good shape in two weeks, makjn a pleas-
ant walk to and from the boat. hen the
sewer is built, there may be another interrup-
tion.

atmosphere having a bad effect upon his dis-
ease. The other symptoms are more favorable.
It is not often that our prominent citizens
care to examine the accommodations which
dre=prepared for the security and detention
of prisoners. On Saturday night. hearing of
the arrest for drunkenness of a man evidently
very respectably connected, a few of the
better class of the city residents ventured into
the lock-up, and in the 'short examination
which they gave it, and the stirring .scenes
which they saw, it took them but a little
while to conclude that the place Was not fit
for a human being. We trust their views
may be made known to the authorities.
Rev. Mr. Dunning, in his introduction to
the very interesting and profitable sermon dc-
livered to the young, on Sunday night, from
the text“How readcst thou,” gave some of
his own experiences in his younger days. He
had only his father’slibrar to resort to,which
consisted of acopy of the ible and Josephus.
The only newspapers he had the opportunity
to read was the NORWALK GAZETTE, brought
around by a carrier on horse back. That
was seized and read through, news, stories,
and all, and he thought it the best paper in
the world. His conclusion and advice was
“read the best books of all kinds, but one
book ought to have the first (place, and be
read with more earnestness an care. That
book is the Bible, the word of God, a ,trau-
script of His mind.
The Town Meeting to consider. the school
question is to be held Wednesday afternoon.
The proposition seems to be to instruct the
School Board to limit instruction in our
Schools to the ordinary English studies.
Banks Morehouse has been re-painting, rc-
papering and rc-fitting the entire inside of
his popular hostleric, the Connecticut Hotel,
in a very neat and tasty manner. His land-
lord has also men at work painting the out-
side of the Hotel, and when finished, with
other improvements contemplated by “mine
host,” it will shine like a new silver dollar.
Now if , friend Morehousc could only see his
way clear to run it profitably without the aid
of a bar, what a complete hotel he would
have.
Kn earnest effort is being made to organize

“ Last night, Steinway's beautiful hall was

blage of our most refined people, wh (1

jurer, Hertz—new to these shores at least,
though he is well-known abroad, and brings
the most flattering encomiums from the for-
eign press. To say that he is excellent would
be slender praise ; he is truly wonderful; his
feats were all new to us, and surrounded with
an air of inscrutable and recondite mystery
altogether beyond our comprehension."

Early during the past winter several circus
managers conceived the invasion of the New
England States, each endeavoring to monop-
olize patronage by the organization of a
company larger than the other, which we
must say was an exhibition of good judgment
on their part, as the people are always sure
to patronize the largest and the best. Of
course, each manager, jealous of his rival,
was soon apprised of the other‘s movements,
and put forth, as the emergency required,
new exertions to out-do his naghbor. For
several years past, Mr. John O‘Brien, a
wealthy showman and animal importer, has
had an enormous sum invested in circuscs
and nlenagcries, sending out each year, in
different directions, three, four, five, and as
high as six companies at one and the same
time, making the one bearing his own name
larger and better than all the rest, and man-
aging the same in person. By experience he
has learned that the show under his own
management, no matter how successful and
profitable the others were, always made the
most money. This fact, and the efforts of
rival managers to outstrip him, caused him to
merge all his six shows in one for the season
of 1877, and with this formidable combina-
tion he takes the field, confident that if one
sixth of his present attraction pleased the
public, the entire six shows must give satis-
faction iu an increased ratio; for while he
presents six times the number of animals and
six times the amount of attraction in the
ring, there is no increase in the price of ad-
mission, which remains tllc same as that
asked by the smaller shows traveling the'
countfiy, the manager depending upon the
assemblage of immense crowds under the
vast pavilion to repay him for his enormous
daily outlays. O‘Brien’s Six Consolidated

out delay, Scllcnck’u Mandrake Pills. We know
of no remedy so harmless and decisive in its action.
It at once strikes at the root of the disease and
produces a healthy tone to the system. People
never need suffer from any disease arising from a.

medicine when they feel the first indications of
the malady. Families lcavinghome for the sum-
