" The School Question.
Legitimafltelylfollowin‘g in the wake ‘of the
action of the Town meeting at 'which, by an
overwhelming :majority it was voted'not to
substitute onethoroughlygood high school,
for the three inferior ones so long maintained,
the same intelligent majority has,’as was then
’predicted by the GAZETTE, just voted to have
no high school at all and the higher branches
hitherto taught poor, but bright scholars, are
to be discontinued altogether. Thus .‘doefi

Closed for Repairs.
The First Cougregational church will be
closed for repairs from and after to-day. The
future Sunday services of this Society will
be held at Lockwood’s Hall until the interior
improvements of the church are completed.
A New Cemetery.
The project of organizing a new‘ Cemetery
Association and securing a plot of land suita-
ble for the needs of our rapidly growing town
and more worthy the times in which we live,
is again revived. This time,it looks as if some-
thing practical would grow out-of it.

School Meetings.-
'l‘hc annual schsol meetings, in the leading
districts at least, have been called early, this
year,4as it seem to be conceded that'thc new
Committccsought to have the hiring of the
teachers for the ensuing year. The Center
district meeting will be held Friday. evening,
the Over River district on next week Wed-
nesday evening. and the So. N orwalk school
on Monday evening, June 4th. We trust the
friends of the schools will manifest their in-'
terest by personal attendance. Good com-
mittees should be selected, and every effort
made to maintain the efficiency of the schools.

TnE WAR—In Turkey in Asia the cam-
paign is active, and the Russians are rapidly
advancing. The Turks seem to be unable to
cope with them, and are evidently not well?
prepared for the contest. A battle is expect-
ed short The Russian right wing is at Olti
and the t at Van. A Russian attempt to
throws bridgezover the river before the Turk-
ish lines at Batoum was repulsed with loss.
A Bucharest dispatch states that it is expect-
cd that the Russians will cross the Danube on
the 10th of June. A dispatch to Renter’s
Telegram company from Bucharest says: “A
telegram received here announces that the
Russians blew up a large monitor on the
Danube at three o’clock Saturday morning
by means of launches bearing torpedoes.”
Drum—The unusually'bright and lovable
little boy of Major Chas. E. Doty, has finally,
after a terribleand protracted struggle 'with
disease, succumbed on Monday last, and the
spirit of the little sufierer winged its flight to
realms of supernal felicity. SeldOm have we
known a case where the hearts of parents and
friends have been so lured with delnsive
hopes and torn with distracting fears. The
little hero, as we learn, ran through a course
of malarial fever, then diphtheria set in, from
which he seemingly recovered, only to be
taken down with a violent type of scarlet
fever. Even from . this terrible tourge of
childhood he seemingly recovered thrice,
only to relapse, and after the unequal strug-
gle exhausted nature gave way, and the
child has passed beyond all suffering to the
loving arms of its dear Saviour.
That was a good enough circus of O'Brien’s
but wouldn’t the saintly Miss Beldeus have
turned in their graves had they known that
it exhibited on the “old home lot.” close un-
der the caves of the “old _ homestead,”—-a
spot dearer to them and more sacred than the:
apple of their eye; Such desecration would
have been intolerable to them.
The number of professional fly-catchers is
constantly on the increase. In Norwalk they
are an Independent set of young fellows,
somewhat given to foul striking, but always
playing right in the left field and never mak-
ing short stops between bases. They are at
home every time they score arun, and always
strike for the game.
The “hen fever" has extended up to Pros
pect Hill and Gen. Crauford has it bad. He
has erected the most elaborate hennery in
town and introduced all the “modern im
provements." The General runs to Plymouth
Rocksas his specialty and he will produce
some fine May flower chicks when the setting
contracts are at an'end. Just now he is un-
decided whether to put a brass cock on top
of his hen-house eupola or a sitting pullet.
FIRE—The house of Elias M. Glover at North
Norwalk, near Comstock Hill, was entirely
destroyed by fire between three and four
o’clock on Saturday morning. Mr. G. had
started a fire in his stove at that early hour
and the supposition is that the roof and garret
were set ablaze from sparks passing through
seams in the chimney where the mortar had
dropped out. It was insured for $800.
The fools never die, and old swindling
dodges still work. The day of the cir
cus a fluent speaker drew a crowd to him and
commenced selling jewelry. First he offered -
a limited” number of articles for five or ten
cents each, and gave back the money. Then
with astonishing generosity he offered. anoth-
er lot at the same price , and gave each pur-
chaser a quarter of a dollar. Thus he led i
them on gradually, till finally he ofiered large
and magnificent gold chains for only two dol- '
lars each, sold what he could at that price,
and then precisely the same article for a dol-
lar, and finally with perfect indifference as
to price let them go at fifty cents. He inad-
vertently neglected to return the money at
once for these later purchases, and the buyers
waited paitiently until no more takers were
to be found, when he gathered up the reins, ,
politely bid them all good morning,and drove
off to find a fresh lot of victims. ~
There are lamentations not. unmixed with
some rejoicings, we fear, in the vicinity of
High street. That clarion songstcr, whose
shrill, soprano voice has for seventeen years
waked the echoes and well nigh waked the
dead—who has raised the exultant. pride of its
owner and rasped the nefves. of a whole
neighborhood—well, in fine, that peacock, so
long- cock of the walk, is dead! Indeed he is
very dead. He died the inglorions death of
Socrates—was poisoned. No more will he
expand his gorgeous tail and challenge the ad-
miration of a wondering and admiring world,
—no more will ‘the hills resound with his vo-
cal feats and the steam whistle be outdone.
No more, alas, will he prompt the witty to
quote Shakespeare in the phrase “thereby
hangs a tail.” He has gone to that bourne
from which no ‘seventcen year old peacock
returns. But wasn’t it just a little mean af-
ter all, to poison a family’s pet bird, so like a
worthless cur? “Requiem-cat in path.”
A Norwalk man who went down to the un-
veiling of the Halleck Statue at Central Park;
for the special purpose of seeing President
Hayes, Was very much amused at seeing the
people pointing out as the President, our fel-

ting 0n the platform, as the Norwalk man
supposed. ,

In another column will be found a very in-
teresting letter from our former fellow towns-
man, the Rev. H. S Barnum, American Mis-
sionary in Turkey. It will be read with more
than usual interest because of the war now
raging between Turkey and Russia. In a
private note to us he furnishes the painful‘in-
telligence of the death of another child.
That fell disease diphtheria, it seems prevails
at that distant part as fatally as here. Sadly
the bereaved parent givesus these interesting
domestic details which, we venture to make
public because of the very general interest
felt in this Norwalk family by so great a
number of our readers. “Two years ago our
little boy died and ,now his oldest sister fol-
ldws, at about theg‘hame age." Amid all the
bitterness of the affliction we are much com-
forted by the Master's presence ml“. by
the thought that, our precious children are
happy in each other’s society. We have two
little girls left,-one of four years and one
lackinghtli‘rec Weeks of completing her first
year.” ‘ . . . »
The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. lieu-
ry Kellogg, last week, was an‘ occasion of
very delightfulrinte'restfi All through the af-
ternoon the house of the aged and worthy
couple was throngcdf with the Coming and go-
ing friends who called to extend‘thcir con-
gratulations. During the evening there was
quite a brilliant assemblage. In the afternoon
the aged and friends from a distance predom-
inated. In the evening the young peo-
ple were in the ascendant and a very enjoya-
ble time they had of it. A poem written for
the occasion was read by its ' author,
Colonel James M. . Turner, a, friend from
New York, and the wishes for ‘still long
er life and more abundant happiness confer-
red upon the aged couple were many’a'nd sin-
cere. ' ' "’

New Britain has the reputation of being a
lively city. The place has grown rapidly,
and the people have kept pace with the times
in the matter of public improvements, etc.
The annual reports of the Mayor, Treasurer,
&c., have recently bcen issued in ‘a book
of sixty pages, and some of the Reports are
also issued in separate phamphlets. From
these documents it will be seen that some at
least, of the Borough of Norwalk are quite
moderate compared with New Britain. The
expense of streets and walks for thirteen
months foot up $7,280.29; the Police Force
consists of fiye men, and the expenses of this
department were $5,744-81; Fire department
$5,371.49 ;'Street lamps, $5,007.27 ; Salaries,
$2,606.62; Miscellaneous $13,572.73. . The
cityis indebted for loans $25,500; Water
bonds $172,000; Sewer bonds $130,000, &c.,
amounting to $389,991.56. The city paid a
Hartford concern $300 for printing ordinan-
ces which could probably have been done a's
well by local tax-payers. How much more
the people obtained for their money, in pro-
portion, than the people of Norwalk, we have
no means of knowing: . . '
The Band Concert.
In deference to .the wishes of. many of our
citizens, thnix Engine Company decided
to engage the ever popular Wannemacher
furnish music for their concert. This neces-
sitates a large outlay upon the‘ part of the
Company—but they believe the public will
stand by them and’flhkc the entertainment a
success. '
It 1: been‘ noticed with regret that our
friend m C. Street has for the‘past . few
years lost much of that active zeal in some ‘of
the departments of our Agricultural Exhibi-
tions, that years ago he invariably manifested
to the delight of all who took an interest in
the Fall meetings of the old Fairfield County
Society. We want to give notice to all par-
ties interested that there will be a change the
coming Fall. Since the unprecedented time
made by his thirty year old Bucephalus down
Water street, last week, he has resolved to
put him on the track, and we give timbly
warning to Dann, Cram, Dave Hill, Johnny
Hoyt, Lockwood, and the fast horse young
bloods about toWn, that they are not. to have
things all their own way on' the race track,
this fall, for neighbor Street isn’t going to
confine himself exclusively to the “Ladies
Indu’stria ” as heretofore.
Early on Thursday morning the long string
of baggage wagons of O’Bricn’s show arrived
in town, having traveled overland from Stam-
ford in the old fashioned way. In short or-
der that quiet corner opposite the Mott House
'was covered with men, librses, mules, char-
iots, animal cages, etc, and all was hustle_and
ibustle. Tents went up as if by magic, and
two large lots were covered with canvas.
The street parade was started early, compri-
sing a long line of cages, three chariots with
hands, and the usual et cetera,‘ all giving an
impression of immensity. The two perform:
anccs were well attended. In one tent alarge
and-good menagerie, with mechanical figures,
830.; in the next a circus ring, where the tra-
ditional performances were given. The train
ed dogs and elephant, and the three Seigrist
children just arrived from Paris, delighted
all. The other acts were about np to the aver-
age. Mr. O’Brien was present. givinghis per-
assisted by Mr. A. Atkinson. The Borough
furnished some half dozen .policemcn to pre-
serve order. . - . _- -. , '
. The left wing of the main Russian army in
'Asia Minor is now reported at Van, the resi-

vicinity. ' _
Computing Interest. ‘
The New York'Evening Mail has been in-
several short 'tables' of which. the following
is among the best: Multiply the number of
dollars by the number of ,days and and divide
by 73; the result gives the exact interest at 5
per cent. By adding one-fifth to that you
have 6 per cent. By adding two-fifths to the

A Strange ‘Swgato of Affairs.
_ Much excitementéwas created last Friday, -
morning by the news that the two policemen
of South Norwalk had been captured the
night before in the .store 30f L. Dibble; Jr.,,
playing the role‘ of burglafs. .It seems that
on Tuesday night the clerk, instead of going
home, concluded to sleep, in the store. .. He,
claims that during the night, the front door
was opened and a man came in who looked
like Chief of Police Tuttle. He kept quiet
and the man turned down the light and then
went to the money drawer, and in going out
must have seen him, for soon after the door
again opened and Chief Tuttle entered in and
askedwhat he was doing there. He says
Tuttle told him the door was unlocked, and
to say nothing to Mr. Dibble about it,.for if
he did Mr. Dibble would discharge him.
Next morning the boy told Mr. Dibble the
entire story, and that night Mr. Dibble count-
ed the money which he left in the draw.
Thursday morning he found some seven dol-
lars had been" taken out , during the night.
He then determined to watch for the thief,
and saying nothing to the police got a friend
to stay with him in the store that night. He
says that he» personally locked the door care—
fully, then went in the back way with his
friend, and tried-the front door from the in-
side to make doubly sure that it was all right.
About midnight the door opened quietly. and
Chief Tuttle, walked on tip toe through the
store to the rear room where he discovered
the friend, a Mr. Long. Mr. Dibble then ap.
peared on the scene, and soon after the other
officer, Mr. Burgera _- Mr. Dibble accused

tie, we understand, claimed that in going the
rounds he found. the door unlocked, and went

pursuance of his duty. Mr. Burger doesnot
seem to have entered the store until called,
and it is said that he can prove that he was
not standing in front cf the store at the time,

A Letter From Turkey. .
VAN, TURKEY, 'Aprilx2, 1877.
To the Editors of, the Namath Gmte .-
DEAnSrns :——It is eight years this month,
since we left old Norwalk, and‘for nearly the
most welcome weekly visitor. Our mail
comes weekly, save when the postman gets
snowed in and then we get two and even
three mails together. It will help. you to
measure our distance from home to know that
our last GAZETTE was dated January 30th,
though other American papers of Feb. 7th
have come to hand. Still we are not quite so
far behind the age as this would imply, for
prominent American news we get in the tele-
graphic column of our Constantinople paper,
by the last of which we lean from a New
York telegram of March 3d that; Hayes was
to be inaugurated the next day. As we out
here mostly voted that ticket the announce—
ment gives us much joy. .
One missionary lady in Erzerum has been
fatting a turkey to be eaten when Hayes was
declared President, and acfew weeks since
she wrote in sadness that she feared the gob-
bler would die of old age. When he heard
the news he doubtless (lied willingly for so
good a cause. , ‘
When our mail comes, (and a weekly mail
is worth at least eighteen times as much as a
tri-daily mail,) we read first our personal let-
lers and then turn to the second page of the
GAZETEE, leaving our other papers to wait.
Your paper is all the more a necessity to us
now that our near relatives have all moved
away from N orwalk.
We are are all reasonably quiet so far,
though‘wc know not what the condition of
country will be a few months hcucc. Wc
learned two days ago that war had been de-
clared, and as we have been looking for such
an announcement we believe it true, though
the most; absurd canards have circulated here.
For the present we incline to hold .on at our
posts, and if it gets uncomfortably hot here
politically, try to put our families over the
near Persian boundary, ‘unless, indeed, Per-
sia should be drawn into the fray, which is
not very improbable.
We have an excellent Pacha who seems to
be very friendly and a true lover of justice.
So long as he remains we have little to fear.
In fact the only contingency in which there
seems great danger is in the destruction of
Turkish authority by Russian victories, in
which
region ht visit the city for plunder, and as
we are osed to be rich, they would prob-
ably nmss us by. But this, at the most,
is only a possibility, and if the Turks are
thoroughly beaten on the frontier they will
probably be careful not to bring on themselves
severer punishment by a massacre of the
Christians. ,
' It is nearly time for the mail to go, and I
must hasten to close. With kindest regards
to yourselves personally, and pleasant memo-
tics of past acquaintance, I am
Yours, very truly, .

Death ofEdward Trowbridge.
Seldom are we called upon to record the
death of so estimable a gentleman as the late
Mr. Edward Trowbridge, for many years
senior of the house of Trowbridge &. Co , on
the Island of Barbadoes, at which place he
died on Saturday evening, May 12th.
Mr. Trowbridgc was born in this city on the
28th of January, 1824, and was the son of the
late Capt. Roswell and Mrs. Nancy Hayes
Trowbridge.
In 1844 Mr. Trowbridgc took uphis resi-
has lived on the Islands of Barbadoes and
Trinidad, at the former place for the past
twenty years. During the troublesome times
of our late war Mr. Trowbridgc was Ameri-
can Consul at Barbadocs, and on repeated oc-
casions showed by his services the interest he
felt in his native country and her citizens. At
the close of the war the interests of his house
obliged him to resign the consular office.
Mr. Trowbridge enjoyed in the highest de-
gree the confidence and esteem of all who
knew him, and in the islands where so many
years of his life has been passed, he was es-
teemed and rewected by all for his integrity
and probity of character, and by his family
and relatives lie was loved and honored for
his amiability as well as for his upright,Chris-
tian life. Mr. Trowbridgc, notwithstanding
his long residence in a foreign land, ever
evinced the deepest interest in his country
and for the welfare of his native city, where
his death will be sincerely mourned by the
many friends he has left behind.
His age was 53 years. He leaves a widow
and six children to lament the loss of a kind
husband and an affectionate father.
' The foregbing tribute, which we copy from
the New Haven Journal and Courier, is ,sup«
plemented to the brief notices of the death
of Mr. Trowbridge in the last two number's
of the GAZETTE. It will have special inter-
est to our readers in Ridgefield, Where he
spent the last summer—Les the .summers of
many former years—and where he was highly
respected ; and to some families of South
Norwalk with which he was tenderly. related
or connected. ,
It is also due is the memory of the estima-
ble gentleman, the merchant of lofty character
for integrity and ability, and the unswerving
patriot, to emphasize hi mestic and social
virtues and his consiste hristian devotion.
Before he returned to Barbadoes, last Au-
tumn, he placed three of his children at
school in Norwalk,.—.a son with Dr. Fitch,
and two daughtbrs with Miss Stevens. The
son and the elder of these daughters united
with the First Congregational church on the
first Sabbath of this month—only a week be-
fore they heard of their father’s death. How
timely their experience of the consolation of
faith.

Prsn POINT, May, 1877
DEAR SIRS :——It is well known that there
is no attractive seaside resort in this town.
The need of a suitable place of resort and
entertainment for gentlemen, their families,
parties, associations, Sunday schools, and
others, is very pressing, and some establish-
ment is demanded at. once. It has been my
sintentiongnd desire to devote for that pur-
pose “Pine Point,” located on the Sound be-
tween Roton Point and Bell’s Island. Pre-
liminary preparations for the establishment
of a proper resort are now being made, and
will, if proper encouragement be given, be
carried out,'an(l a substantial establishment
made that will be attractive, useful and ben-
eficial to all who may be pleased to be inter-
ested.
It is proposed to have ‘the management
conducted by a board of Governors and on
temperance principles. The premises con-
sisting of twenty-five acres, have been exam-
ined by a landscape engineer aird pronounced
unequaled for the purpose designed. '
The arrangement proposed to be adopted
will consist of the erection of a large pavil-
ion, a large parlor, large dining and culinary
rooms, an observatory, warm and cold salt
Water baths, sun baths, stable and carriage
sheds, a floral garden and children’s park, an
aquarium, boats and boat houses, die.
Parties who desire to be associated in the
undertaking will please send me their cards.
A meeting will be called to complete arrange-
ments for the immediate development of the
project. Very respectfully, _
A. L. VANDERBILT, Surveyor,
P50. Box 100, South Norwalk.
