Norwalk Gazette.
Tuesday, June 5th, 1877.
No American has ever been the recipient
of-the distinguished honors and attentions
from royalty that has been conferred upon
General Grant since his arrival in England. -
Decoration Day.
This most patriotic and worthy anniversary
born of the war, was duly observed all over
the restored Union. North and South the
(lay: seems to have been universally observed.
In New York, the day having been made a
lrgal holiday, there was a.gcneral cessation
of business and the great city was deserted.
At I‘Vashington the usual ceremonies took
place. At Arlington, the beautiful sepulchre
of a score thousand of our patriot dead, the
President and Mrs. Hayes personally joined
in strewing flowers upon the graves of the
buried heroes.
Here in Norwalk there was no united and
concerted action as ‘ in previous years, still
individual hands paid loving tribute in floral
decoration of the graves of our dead soldier
boys, and in the hearts of our patriot people
the old feeling came again of grateful—-
"Cheers to those who brave] y Jought‘
A nd tears for those who fell.
All honor to the men who wore the blue,
and surviving, enjoy the blessings of peace
restored, and the grandest government‘of hu-
man origin redeemed from slavery, secession
and heresy. And for the dead, who gave up-
their lives that the republic might live, no not
of the living can too greatly exalt their mem-
ories in the off. ciionatc regard of all the liv-
ing. Year after year may we continue to——
“G lthcr the lx’oom of the May-time,
Borrow thr .. :auty of June;
Wreath, m d oquet and garland
Twine for me soldiers’ tomb.”
The South N orwalk police officers were
brought up-town, last Wednesday, for a hear-
ing before Justice Perry, at the Town Hall.
The examination was continued and complet-
ed on Friday last. The testimony taken was
substantially the same as published in the
GAZETTE last week. Chief Tuttle was bound
over for trial,_and ofiicer Berger was released
. and was at once rc-instated in llisfposition by
the Mayor.
__..__——
It seems to us that the Sentinel is unjustly
severe on Mayor Ely because Of his having
re-instatedAhc Policeman Berger. As we
understand it, the Council appoint the police-
men, and the Mayor is only vested with the
power of suspension. In this case Mayor
Ely promptly suspended both officers on
charges being preferred against them. After
a very exhaustive hearing one was discharged
and the other bound over. The Mayor may
have acted hastily and injudiciously in imme-
diatcly reinstating the cxculpated officer.
We think he did, because the belief is very
general among the citizens of South Norwalk
that Berger was a confederate of Tuttle’s and
equally guilty with him. 0f the prevalence
of this belief among the reputable citizens of
the city, the Mayor could not have been ig-‘
norant. But for such an error of judgment
to charge, by clear implication, as the Senti.
neldoes, that the head of the city govern-
. ment is a felon, is to put a public disgrace
up the whole ci. Has Mayor Ely broken
into anything? Is he in criminal collusion
with burglars and thieves, and ‘are such
characters the keepers of the guilty secret?
The Sentinel clearly and distinctly charges
this by its intimations. If it is true, our
neighbor should have put on more boldnes
and charged it in direct terms. If untrue,so se-
rious and disgraceful an imputation -bught
never to have appeared in so respectable a
journal as the Sentinel.
l)Er.In'rs.——Another of Norwalk’s brightest
young men, is to leave us the coming week,
and seek a home and fortune elsewhere. Ar-

.wcll of the Norwalk Iron Works,) who has

that in a very few yearsfthis rich and pros-
perous lodge, will have gathered a library

The annual meeting of the Center District
was held last Friday evening. The usual re-
ports ‘vere read, after which several hours
were pleasantly spent in balloting for Com-
mitteemen, the old Board positively declining
reelection. The result was the choice of the
J. W. Wilson, A. .I. Meeker. A. A. B‘etf.s
was elected. Treasurer; Lewis Hubbell,
Clerk; and James Finney, Collector. The
matter of laying a tax was lightly passed
over, although the district is about $15,000
in debt. ‘
The South Norwalk' meeting is to-night,
(Monday), and the Over- River district Wed-
nesday evening.

The Steam Car for Street Rail—
_ ways.
Mcrrill’s patent engine for Street Car pro-
pulsion which has been in course of altera-
tion at Cottcr’s shop for some weeks past,was
put to a very severe test on the Westport d:
Saugatuck track last weefl There were pres-
ent from Norwalk, MeSSrs. E. C. Bissell, Chas.
C. Betts, Chas. St.John, Chas. Sherfy, J. C.
Cousins, A. H. Camp, Dr. Lynes and othbrs.
The old‘NorI 'alk Horse Car, to which the
engine was attached, was so rickety and out
of sorts generally as to render it almost, im-
possible to make its wheels adhere to the
track, but it was run up and down for the
best part of a mile, with complete success.
About the worst curve and grade we ever
saw is near the Saugatuek depot, but the little
engine proved its power to- take the car up
the steep grade and around the short curve,
without difficulty. But in the two most es-
sential requirements of an engine, for street
railways,- the suppressiOn of steam-puffs and
smoke, the engine is apparently all that could
be desired. It can be started and stopped
quicker than horses, makes no noise, and no
smoke or steam is visible, and the car runs
steadier and with less jerklng motion than
with horses. We can’t see why the patentee
hasn’t achieved what has so long been demand-
ed.

\Ve are of the opinion that the Sentinel
has charged by imputation, more than it is
able or willing to back up. The Council
when it meets should sift the Berger case to
the bottom. If there is reasonable probability
of his guilt he should be summarily dismissed
by the Council and not by the Mayor. Our
objection to the Sentinol's inconsiderate arti-
ant superintendent of‘ a large hardware man-
ufactory in that. city. _Thc tempting hook
which draws our young friend from home
and Norwalk, is baited by a $2,000 a
year salary, as we hear, and a contingent
prospect of an interest in that monster
concern. It is quite a shove ahead for young
Elwell, but both in character and capability
he will be found fully equal to his new and
responsible position. If his success in the
Keystone State is commensurate with his
worth, the young gentleman will abundantly
prosper.
For many, many years there has walked
our streets in quiet dignity, a citizen whose
form was bowed with age and toil. He was
not great, nor famed, nor rich, yet he ever
had a pleasant smile and a word of kindly
greeting for all he met. Poor, uninfluential
'and unassuming as he was, he pdssessed 'an
innate integrity of character that stamped him
the peer of the highest born in the land. His
, life‘s struggles had been hard and unpromis-
ing, _he fought the battle uncomplainingly
to the end. In the stillness of the last early
SIbbath hours, God's good angel came and
bore his weary soul to the better world. His
body will sleep beneath the green sward of
June, bllt llis glorified soul has gone to its
Maker, where all earthly distinctions are at
an end. The active world will rush OII and
little note will be made of his passing away,
yet to family and children the void will be
most deeply felt, and the few who knew him
best will say, in tone of regretful sympathy
——“Z.\LMON Hor’r lived and died an honest

' safety and with ease, taking about one-half
hour.
The comic opera Don Pasquale was given
at Music Hall, last Wednesday evening. Miss
Braincr‘d sustained the character of Norina,
and wasassisted in the other part by four
' gentlemen from Yonkers. In the first part
the Orchestra was rather too loud, but the
last parts passed off well and applause was
freely given. Mills Bi'ainerd was in good
voice, 'and the gentlemeu’s voices were all
‘ pleasing. The costumes were elegant, and
the acting as good as could be expected from
amateurs. The audience were terribly an-
noyed by the hissing, whistling, steaming,
blowing, snorting, puffing, wheezing, back-
ing and filling of trains, and especially the
making up of a freight train, all of which de-
tracts from the interest of an entertainment
in this beautiful hall.
The street from the Isaac homestead to
Bank of Norwalk, is now is now in that bil-
lowy condition that gives one a fair idea of a

of McAdam across the hoise railway track is
so delightful to drive upon that it makes up
for the'discomfort of the other side.

Letters from the PeOplé.
To 'l‘nE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE AND TAXPYERS
or Nonwamz— ‘
I Went one day last week "over the hills to
the Poor Hbuse."
My special object in going was to see Aunt
Kesiah, an aged colored woman of ninety-
two, a native of Norwalk,‘ and who has
served in many of the families of this place.
She is there waiting for the Lord to take her
to her heavenly home. In speaking of her
trials,‘and on being told “it was time for her
to die,” she said, mournfully: “I do not
know what the Lord lets me live for. I think
sometimes, He has forgotten me." I replied:
'It did seem strange to us, but God’s time was
the best time, and she must pray for patience
and grace to wait that time. I think myself
it is that He may try us, to see how well we
may care for her, his weary, waiting child.
I am sorry to_ say she is not cared for as she
should be—oftcn even the oujofoold water is
dem‘ed her! Are we not as children of Him
“who went about doing good,” in some
degree responsible for this ? .
It was afternoon and she had not had her
dinner. After much' delay, under my per-
some tea made (which things I had brought
her,) helped myself to some potatoes, and
carried the same up to her cheerless attic
room, and when she saw me, said, with tears
in her eye, “he Lord sent you! the Lord
surely sent you! ” She was too much excited
then to eat, so my companion and self bade
her good bye, glad for her sake we came but
indignant that so near so many pleasant
homes of peace and comfort such unkindness
should be allowed to exist.
There are still some facts which should be
inquired info, of which I cannot ‘speak, suf-
fice it to say, that it is a moral pest house.
In speaking of this to others, who have
heard of these things but have never seen
for themselves, the reply is, “Yes, I expect it
is an awful place, but what‘ are you going to
do about it?” I reply: Do about it ? call a
meeting of the ladies of the several churches
and appoint a visiting committee to visit in
twos,weekly, having so many on this commit-
tee that it wouldbehurdelisonie to none. Also
an advisory committeebfégentlemen,'includ.
ing the selectmen (whom! I should think
needed help.) Let there be .mouthly reports,
consultation with the advisory committee in
any matter demanding attention. Can any
one devise a bettevplan? and who will come
to the rescue? Let not the words prove true
that fell from the lips of a native born sister,
who, while she deplored these eXIsting'evils,
replied to the above suggestions: “Oh, you
can never do anything of this kind in Nor-
walk, the people will not "unite heart and
hand,”—Ihave.more faith, let us see if this
faith is to be honored. Yours in theeause Of
Christ and humanity, L.

And scorned him to his face!

Robberies continue. The unoécupied house
of Mrs. Aymar, Monroe street, was found
to have been stripped of every window shade
and shade fixtures, but every door and win-
dow was found securely fastened.
In the absence of Mr. Dunning, the pastor,
Rev. D. R. Austin occupied the pulpit of the
Congregational church on Sunday morning
last, and delivered one of those plain practi-
cal common sense sermons for which he was
ever noted. The older members who were
privileged to sit under Mr. Austin’s preaching
years since, and all who listened to his dis-
course, seemcd gi‘atified at again hearing his
VOIce.
It is deeply regretted that young bloods
from up country where you reside, have not
learned that there are laws in the City, which
are to be enforced, and that to' violate such
laws cOsts money. It is not so bad for the
town treasury, for the amount of fines which.
Messrs Charlton and E. Thompson paid for
violating a city ordinance, will be paid into
it for the use of the town. The exploits of
the young lady who was somehow mixed up
in the affair, served to make merriment for
the young men and boys, but gave the police
much trouble and. perplexity.
On Wednesday (to-morrow) all business
will be suspended, to attend to the annual
parade of the City Fire Department, and
entertaining their invited guests. It promi-
ses to be a very large gathering. and the
arrangements made are very complete, not
only for the parade, but for the entertain
ment. It is gratifying to state that many
besidqthosc whosic names have been announc-
ed, will decorate for the occasion.

That gorgeous furniture made of silk vel-
vet and satin rep, by Hubbell & Curtis of
Bridgeport, was delivered to the Mayor on
Saturday. "
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Canfield, of Hark
for'd,have visited parents and friends residing
in the city and vicinity. '
Now that the preliminary examination on
the charges against the police are over, many
enquiries are made as to whoparc “snubbed”
this time. , ‘
The young people announced a literary and
musical entertainment for Monday evening
‘h inst. It has been postponed one week—-
to Monday evening, 11th.
The miniature town meetings which have
been held in the city daily for the last week,
closed their sessions, on Saturday evening.
After a decision had been rendered by Justice
Perry on the police case, most of the thinking
unbiasscd and common sense people were
willing to submit to that decision, and await
further procedings.
Friday and Saturday were given largely to
the meeting of the Teachers’ Association.
During‘the day meetings were held in the
Franklin Street audience room, and on Friday
evening a lecture was delivered in the Con-
gregational church by Superintendent B. G.
Northrop. The meetings were well attended.

Connecticut boy named Albert H. Baker, 16
years old, left his home at South Norwalk-
last Thursday with hopes and $90 of the pa-
ternal hard cash. He came to this city and
engaged passage on the National line to Liver

watching the preparations for departure, his

ped in the bud his prospect of a European

Here is a treat for the lover of angling, and
who does not like to “go-a-fishing" even
though like poor, overworked Mr.- Greeley,
they have to wait thirty years to 'get an after-
noon off for the sport.’ Hon. Geo. Dawson,
long the veteran editor of the Albany Even-
ing Jaurnal, has put his cpistolatory contri-
butions to the Journal, while off on a trout
and salmbn fishing excursion into a neat and
compact Book form. It is published by Shel-
don & Co., of New York, at $1.50 per copy
and is at once the most fascinating and charm-
ing recital of life in the.woods and experience
with rod and reel, we have ever picked up.
Editor Dawson has fer a quarter of a century
or more, been aconceded authority on trout
and salmon fishing and has thrOWn his line
into about every trout stream in the states
and British Provences. Tthummer excur-
sionist should not fail to pack “Dawson's
Pleasures of Angling,” in his satchel along

CONsuMPTIoN AND CLIMATE.—The census of
’1860 shows the average mortality from consump-
tion throughout the Union to be, in a rough way,
proportional to the average temperature of the
gi vcn State. Deaths from this cause are ten times
as frequent in Massachusetts, and—as Mr. Bill
has rather candidly neglected to inform us, says
an exchange—twice as frequent in Minnesota as
they are in Georgia. Minnesota is indeed a colder
State than Massachusetts. but its greater cold is
off-ct, in part, by the greater dryness or its soil.
A damp soil is one of the most prolific causes of
consumption. Minnesota occupies \an elevated
portion of the continent; itis an undulating e'ouno
try, and its natural watersheds insure its thor-
ough drainage. This (ireumstance undoubtedly
conduces to the healthiness of the climate. But
we have found from personal observation, that
where persons are liable to consumption, it is far
better' to take some prc scribed remedy, such as
Dr. A. J. Flagg’s Cough and Lung Syrup, which
is sure to cure if taken in time, and will relieve
the worst cases. .

Since the grass grew so aS_t0 furnish subsist-

scbools, and had warm welcomes from the
COW-boys and their sisters,—a wild kind of

tains, where there were three little boys. I
asked the eldest who made him ? After think-
_ifig over it, he answered, ‘God.’ I asked the
next, ‘What did God make you for?’ He
laughed as he replied, ‘I ’spect for to raise
calves.’ I asked the youngest why God
made him ? He thought it was ‘to pick up
Chip-‘33 I asked the first, who was 'the first
man? This was beyond his depth; grasping
a tuft of his yellow hair, he gave it a P0",
but it did not come. His father, who sat in
the corner, puffing tobacco smoke from a
cCll'n.cob pipe, became quite excited, and giv-
ing a thitch to his pantaloons, and looking as
wise as on owl, he yelledout, ‘I say, Jim, tell
him Job was the first man.’ I slept that night
in my wagon, and the next evening organized
a Sunday-school in the neighborhood, and
saw those boys and their father enrolled as
members. I am delighted with my work as
a Sunday-school missionary, and would not
exchange it; for the wealth of an Astor.”

Men can live, after all, without getting
married. An old bachelor has just died at
the age of 108 years. His name was Dr.
Henry Parker Blackwell and he lived in
South Troy. When it was remarked to him
that it was very singular that both he and
his father should live to such advanced ages,
he replied: “Not at all singular, Sir. We
took care of ourselves, ate everything we
wanted, but did not go to balls and parties
and get drunk. We did not loscour rest.
God’s animals take their needed rest, and so
should men. My grandfather lived to be 127
years of age, and was as good as any man
until his last sickness.”

DR.SCHENCK’S PULMONIC Sump, SEA WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE Plus—These medcines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than ahv other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingrcdiems, and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug In all cases, andtif taken freely by
consumptive patients. it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in
the system, which of course, must make a cure
impossible. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, is war-
ranted not to contain a particle of opium; it is
composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all
the diseased matter from the body . These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured,
and as Schcnck’s Pulmonic Syrilp, Sea Weed Ton-
tic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way,’it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
tion. ch bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directlons. Dr. Schenck is
professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth
and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must be addressed.
