“Tarinn’s MILLroNs ix Ir.”-—Thc glorious,
soaking rain of last week. The parched foli-
age and rootlets, fairly smiled in their re-ir-
vigbrated freshness.
GLAD TO Hana rr.——-This is usually the
season when works slacks off at the Beatty
Straw Hat Factory—the summer supply hav-
ing been all made up—but we are glad to
léarn that they are driving ahead upon order
work to the full capacity of the monster Fac-
tory and.that the proprietors have had to tel-
egraph far and near for help to get out the
ordered work. No summer but factory in
i the country stands higher than that of the
Beatty Bro’s, Norwalk.

The temperance meeting announced for the
Amphitheatre, Sunday afternoon, was held
in Lockwood’s Hall, on account of the un-
pleasant weather, and was well attended.
Meetings will be held in the grove, every
pleasant Sunday afternoon during the Sum-

All are invited.

Attire Borough Celebration in 1872 the
Mayor and Common Council of South Nor-
walk were invited and accepted. At the city
celebration, last week, the compliment was-
not returned. This, we presume, was be-
cause of some misunderstanding, The fire-
men claim that it was simply a firemen‘s de-
monstration, and not a water celebration,
while the Council voted money and seemed
to consider it a Water celebration. The fire-
men do not seem to have harmonized thor-
oughly with tht- City Council, although there
was no embarrassing unpleasantness.
Potatoes. -
We venture the assertion that the potato
crop never looked better at this season of the
year, hereabouts, than at present time. The
bug has done very little damage and the
growing season has given the crop such a
start little is to be feared from the pests for.
the rest of the season. Potatoes won’t be
$2 a bushel next year. And by the way, a
potato raiser assures us that the cause of the
deterioration of this csculent ,er may be
easily traced to the practice of selecting the
smallest, poorest and refuse, for seed. In ye
olden time, our informant says, all the small
potatoes were fed out to cattle or chickens
ard only the largest and best selected for
seed.
#
Tun Luvs—It will cost the State of Con-
. necticut some $6,000 or more, this year, to
publish the laws, owing largely to tlieincrease
in the number of patent-outside papers. In
Norwalk, if the Secretary pays all claims, the
amount will reach over $32”. In New Ca-
naan the cost will be $125, and there is not a
printing office in town. Some printers issu-
ing these papers will receive pay two or three
times over for using the same type. Every
paper has a right to publish them, and, the
smallest draws the same pay as the largest
and best papers in the State. Where will this
end? .

Mr. Isaac Bux‘ton had a very narrow escape
from a serious, if not fatal injury it
Thursday last. He and Addison Brown w re
raising a corner of Geo. O. Keeler's burn that
had settled. In working a jack~screw, the
blocking flew out and a piece of timber struck
Mr. Buxton on the temple, chest and wrist.
He was stunned by the blow, but soon recov-
ered, and resolutely went at his work again.
Jed. Wilcox, Esq., President of the Van
Horn Heater Co , was in town the other day,

Heaters will be carried on, on a much larger
scale than‘ever before. Success to the new-
enterprise.

consolation they had while in the Black Hill's
gulches, was singing and then crying over the
old fanliliar‘hymn—
“Return, 0 wanderer, to thy home,
Thy father calls for thee;
No longer now an exile roam,
In guilt and misery.
Return, 0, wanderer, to thy home,
’Tis madness to delay.
There is no grub where new we moan,
So, skip, this very day.”

We caught nearly a barrel of flat fish the
other day. *Ecchange.
That isn’t a'flea bite to the experiences of
the Eagle crowd down our harbor for they
not only knocked our local fish market flat,
but their fish bites were amply sandwiched
with vigorous mosquito bites, as well besides
learning there was no taverns on the water,
the Eagle worthies took all their sandwiches
with them, and the result of their day’s fish-
ing was emblazoned on their very noses,when
they got home.

Mr. Folwell was seriously cut in the foot,
last week Monday evening, at his slaughter
house, by stepping 3n a big knife which had
accidentally been turned edge up. The knife
cut through the sole of his boot, and inflicted
a bad wound. Next day, his partner, Mr.
Manger, attempted to hang a large piece of
meat in the ice box and in so doing, slipped
from a box and fell on the hook, the point
entering under the chin. Fortunately he was
so tail that his weight did not come upon the
hook. or he would have been pierced through

injury.

Big Fire in Bridgeport”
GREAT Loss or LIFE.
Bridgeport was the scene of an awful dir-
aster on Thursday night last. The large Wool
hat manufactory of Glover Sanford ~8r; Sons
was destroyed by fire and eleven lives were
lost by the falling of the walls of the build-
ing. We condense the following account of
it from Friday’s Standard:
The hat factory of Glover Sanford do Sons,
completely destroyed by'fire last night, was
one of the finest in the country. It stood up-
on the South side of Crescent avenue, about
two-hundred feet from Pembroke Lake, and
had, when built in 1864 by the Williams Silk
Company a frontage of 150 feet. The present
firm, whose members are C. H., H. B., and
E. G. Sanford, took possession of the factory.
fo'r the purpose of carrying on their hat busi-
ness in 1869, and since then have added to it
considerably. The main building was four
stories high and there was a four foot passage
way between it and the new addition which
stood directly west of it, makingatotal front.
age of 280 feet. In the rear there was a brick
wing in which were the engine and boiler
rooms, dye house, &c., a portion of which
was two and the rest one story high, and still
further back were wooden buildings used for
storage, &c. On the east end of the main
building was the office, a one-story brick
structure twenty-four feet wide, divided into
a front and rear office, the safe and papers of
the concern being located in the rear. or pri-
vate office. The packing room was next the
office, and the attic was stored full of wool.
There were about two hundred and fifty men
employed in the factory, and the number
would have been increased to three hundred
next week as the busy season is just coming
on.
The origen of the fire is a. mystery; -it was
discovered about 11% o’clock, the alarm was
promptly given and the Fire Department hur-
ried to the place,-No. ,2 locating on the cor-
ner by the office of the Cartridge Company,
where she succeeded in getting water. N o. 1
stopped at a hydrant near the factory, but,
failing to get a stream, was ordered by the
Fire Commissioners to take up her position
at a small pond in the rear of the burning
building, where, by lowering her suction
basket several times and digging a hole, she
managed to get water enough for two streams
which she threw from 12 to 4o'clock. No. 5
tried the hydrant in front of the factory,
found no water, then tried the pond with no
better success, after which she went to the
Lake. While in front of the building a por-
tion of the falling wall narrowly escaped
tumbling upon the firemen.
The roof fell in soon after the fire got un-
der good headway, and the flames communi-
cated with the lower floors, but not until a
considerable amount of wool, finished hats,
machinery, and other property had been tak-
en out by a force of volunteers who worked
like tigers to save what they could. The
factory was amply provided with fire appar-
atus, there being hose on every floor, a tank
of water and several pumps, one of which, a
Baxter steam pump, near the engine, was in-
tended especially for fire use, but it was found
impossible to use them owing to lack of water.
About a. quarter of one o’clock occurred the
accident which cost eleven men their lives
and gave the community the shock of horror
which ran through it when the awful fact be-
came known. ifteen or twenty men were
hard at work in the office endeavoring to re-
move the safe, when the cry was raised out-
side that there was danger. A number of
those engaged in the work ran out.
They had scarcely stepped outside of the
door before a portion of the end wall of the
main building toppled over and fell with a
dull heavy roar upon the roof of the office.
crushing it as though it were an egg shell,
carrying everything before it clear to the base-
ment. The fragments took fire and were
soon in a roaring blaze, and before long a
mass of Cinders, smoking timbers and heated
brick, marked the spot where the unfortunate
men lay crushed and mangled beneath them.
It was not until after 4 o’clock this morning
that it was absolutely known that Death had
stamped the fall with the seal of his fateful
presence. It took until that time for the
bricks to become cool enough to handle though
streams of water played upon them all the in-
tervening hours. Then willing hands were
set to work, the piles of debris were overhaul-
ed and before 5 o’clock five bodies were at
the undertaking establishment of Bishop 6}:
Cullinan, and one after another of the disfig-
the smoking ruins. By 6:30 o’clock four
more had been carried away and laid with the
rest, and stilltlle work went on until at 9
o’clock the dreadful total had swelled to elev-
en.
They are as follows :
O. J. Acker, aged about: 40, residence
Beach street, East Bridgeport. He leaves a
wife and two daughters. ’
George Acker‘, son of O. J. Acker, aged
about 20, unmarried and living with his fath-
er on Beach street.
Edward O’Toole", aged about 35, residence
on Church street, East Brid eport. He leaves
a wife and one or two child en.
Hugh Smith, twenty-eight or thirty years
old, residence, Cullen street, East Bridgeport,
leaves a wife and two children.
John Gallagher, aged about thirty-five, res-
idence, Arch street. He also leaves a wife
and three children.
John Maloney, of New Britain, a young
man who has been employed by the ,Frary
Cutlery Company.
Chs Dart, aged 33, residence and place of
business, corner East Main and Jane streets.
Leaves a wife and fourchildren.
James Coync, aged 19 and unmarried, was
not muchburned or crushed.
J. H. Tomlinson was 21 years old and un-
married. Had no relatives here; was from
N. Y. State.
John Killenbeck, a cd 27 years, was badly
burned about the hen , the.face being terribly
crushed. Leaves a wife.
The estimated loss, as given by one of the
firm, is $250,000. ' .
- The firm had not made up their minds as
to what they should do in the matter of re-
building at the hour the representative of the
Standard-saw them this morning. One of
them said he was not at all anxious to rebuild
and risk his property in a city that was care-
less enough to allow property to burn » down
for lack of a proper water supply.
The Monitors of Waterbury, and. Independ-
ents attempted to play a match game of ball
on the morning of the parade. The day was
entirely unsuitable, but as it- did not rain in
Wafibury the Monitors came and. wanted
to play. Much time was lost in getting the
Independent nine together, but five innings
were finally played, resulting in favor of the
Monitors by a score of 9 to 6. We were sur-
prised to hear of unpleasantness between the
clubs about the game, and much regret it.
It must have been owing to the disagreeable
weather, which prevented , the game being
called on time. The game was properly ad-
vertised by posters, but the weather prevent-
ed a large attendance, and the gate money
was consequently small. Try again, boys,
and if the captains are allowed to do. the
talking, we might answer for an enjoyable
game.
WxsrronT.—We learn that the Post Office
Department has concluded, upon the recom-
mendation of the friends of Capt. Burr, to
appoint Wm. Edgar Nash, postmaster at that
place. We are also told that one of the
hardest things Capt, Burr had to contend
with,after all,was the knowledge the Depart-
ment had of the graccless character who fis-
sumed to play the role of chief champion of
the Captain’s cause.

'I‘HE PARADE.
The long expected day of the fireincn’s pa.-
rade‘ has come and gone, and the city is hap-
py. Little was left undone by all concerned
to make the occasion what it was, a splendid
success. The day was inauspicious, but the
hearts of brave firemen do not quail under
slight difficulties. So with the early hours of
Wednesday all were engaged in making pre-
parations to receive the visiting firemen from
many places, and in preparing flags, flowers,
mottoes, etc., for decoration. As the trains
arrived with invited guests, a new inspiration
seemed to be given to our firemen and citi-
zens, who with much taste and beauty, Orna-
mented their houses, shops and stages for the
important occasion. While many deserve
especial notice, Ex-Mayor Quintard, Capt;

Much time was wasted, it seemed to us, in
marching and countermarching in order to
mass in front of the Band Stand to.hear
words of welcome from the Mayor. Few
could hear a single sentence, bilt all were sure
of'asvelcome. The Mayor spoke, the band
played, cheers were given for somebody, and
then the companies marched back and took
up the line of march in the rain.
The Mayor, council, clergy, and guests in
coariages staid in line long enough to get
nicely wet, and then drove off to get under
shelter.
After the parade the visiting Companies
were very handsomely entertained. At Mu-
sic Hall, Old Well Hook d; Ladder 00., en-
tertained their guests with a splendid colla-
sides of lie Avenue will be, when completed, '
blue caps, dark pants with gilt stripe; headed-
tion. Howe’s-Band played ‘several choice se-
lcctions, and ladies graced the" galleries.
V-Putnam Hose escorted their guests to a tent,
and their collation was also bountiful.
Wheeler do Wilson Band discoursed sweet
music, and all was delightful. - ,
The Sentinel brace was conspicuous by the
absence of hunting. ‘ ,
Putnam Engine 00., of. Port Chester, pre-
sented Putnam Hose and Hope Hose compa-
nies with two framed pictures each, of their
house and apparatus. '
The Waterbury companies reflected honor
upon that thriving city.
Danbury was splendidly represented, and
Port Chester’s “first appearance" was highly
creditable. . ,
Stamford boys were conspicuous in their
white pants which they sported in spite of
the weather. '
The City companies presented a fine ap-
pearance and are entitled to great credit for
the manner in which their “first attempt”
was carried out.
Humors of the fire parade were many.
Councilman John H. Knapp was _taken for
Mayor Morford of Bridgeport. We cannot!
say which one was the most complimented.
As the procession passed the corner of
West and’Main streets, our city clergymen
were pointed out and counted as four of the
Councilmen. ‘
The cditprs of the Sentinel foresaw what
the assembled multitude would need during
the parade, and prepared a large vessel of
“Ice Cold Huckleberry Water," which was In-
belcd “Sentinel Treat, free.” It was well
patronized. .
When the ladies hereafter prepare a colla-
tion for the 01d Well Hook and Ladder Com—
pany and their invited guests, it is hoped they
will not forget to furnish a full supply of
“cotton puffs” for dessert, especially if the
Board of Councilmen are to partake of them.
“Presented by Washington Hook .& Lad-
der'Company; of D‘anbury, to Old Well Hook
do Ladder Company, of South Norwalk, em-
blematic of the union of hearts this day seal-
ed," was the sentiment written and attached
to the silver water pitcher preseented.
The firemen had the sympathy of big and
little, old and young, that the day should
have been so unpropitious for their monster
4 parade. Everything passed‘off well, howev-
er, and all seemed satisfied. The generous
ladies and citizens prepared abundant sup-
plies of edibles, and after all had partaken
the poor were invited to finish up the sump-
tuous repaste-vge counted four editors and
one insurance secretary among the number,—
while baskets filled with untouched provi-
sions were distributed to the needy about the
city.
The Mayor rode in state in the procession
as was right and proper, supported by the
clergy, (as was most meet.) in his immediate
rear. The Tycoon of our Borough with the
Honorable Court of Burgesses and their clerk
re-inforced by our water commissioners would
have added largely to the number of good-
looking men in the procession, but as they
were not invited they saved their good clothes
from the rain and the Borough treasury from
the' cost of carriages for their appropriate
conveyance, and that is all satisfactory. But
if we were to seriously criticise the make-up
of that procession We should say if any one
man more than another 'was deserving the
post of honor in the line that man was WM.
B; RIDER. But for Mr. Rider, our cityr
neighbors could not have 'celebrated the in-
troduction, completion and posession of one
of the best public water supplies in the coun-
try. Mr. R. is a young man, whose modest
merits should have accorded him a seat be-
side thc Mayor of the city his engineering
skillhas done so much to beautify and bless.
This oversight in common justice ought not
to have occurred, gentlemen. ‘
We hear complaints from the city because
the firemen did not encourage home talent by
the employment of the City Band. The Band
certainly ought to have been in line on such
an occasion, especially as the tax-payers paid
part of the expenses. The firemen excuse
themselves by charging illiberality in the
management of the Band, claiming that older
and better bands from abroad, were engaged
for less money in proportion. Our people
should encourage the Band, and the Band
should meet the people half-way and thus bg
come popular at home.
The Borough Department marched down,
headed by Wannemaeher’s Band, and made a
fine appearance, and creating a favorable im-
pression.
No disorder occurred during the day, and
the conduct of the firemen was highly com-
mendable.
The music by seven bands was a leading
feature of the parade. “The air was full of
music,”
The Marshals and Engineers exerted them-
selves, and must h ve been pleased with the
happy manner in ‘ich the parade passed off.
Several articles crowded out this week will
appear-in our next.

Mrs. Comstock commenced picking straw-

arc‘irgbted to her for a basket of “Excel-

Russell’s. They were very choice berries,the
best we have seen this season. She is now
picking for the'r‘nairket daily, and her berries
are eagerly sought after.'
Saturday noon Strawberries were selling at
ten cents a quart, or three quarts for a quar-
ter, in Fulton market—fancy berries bringing
higher prices; Saturday night the prices were
about the same in Norwalk,—except for ber-
ries of home culture which brought from
eighteen to twenty-five cents per guart.

To THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE AND Tax Psxens
on ma Town or Nonwsnx: ; .
Mr. Raymond, keeper of the Norwalk Alms
House, called to see me last week. I was
glad to see him, and have a talk.
’He said he thought in my 'last communica—
tior‘ had injured his business, as an Alms
House keeper. 'I told him such was not my
intention. I considered the people of Nor.
walk alone responsible, if they combine under
that roof, a church, home, an insane and idiot
asylum, and hospital. What can one may do
among so many? It is a most difficut posi-
tion to fill, at the best, and I would urge a
plan of thorough and systematic organization
of the men and women of Norwalk, to help
Mr. R. in his labors, he needs sympathy and
aid. The Norwalk Alms House may be as
well managed as any in the State. for aught I
know, but reform is needed infill, and as this
is- the only public or private charitable insti
tution of the town, why not make it a model
one ? Would it. not have been the place,
where the blessed J esus when on eartb,_would
have first gone, to dispense the sunshine of
His presence, and His healing power, viz.
to-the blind, the aged, the weary, and friend-
less, of all ages, and conditions? And shall
we, His children, pass by on the other side?
If so, what must he think of us? And when
we meet Him face to face. can we so answer
Him as to receive from-Him the joyful we]-
come, “Come ye blessed of my Father, for
inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me.”. _ ,

Msssus. Enl'rons f——:As you deemit of im—
portance to notice all the changes of old gar-
ments in the community, I trust you will pay
equal attention to matters which are of real
use anthenefit to your readers. For a few
years past, owing to the cheapness of sawed
shingle compared with shaved, the difference
in price ranging from -two to three dollars per
thousand, sawed shingle have been very ex-
tensivelyuscd, notwithstanding the many bad
features they possess, such as not being
straightgrained, being rough on the surface,
and thus holding thewater in the roof and
causing it to rot, being sawed bastard, and
from shaky timber. The best makers have
used every effort to overcome these defects,
and in no case has so great success been at-
of the famousbrand of S. K. 65 Co.
Brit now a new star appears in the heavens,
and as your readers will see by my advertise-
ment in another column, I am prepared to
offer them an articlewhich,whilc it possesses
every advantage belonging to a. shaved shin-
gle, also covers many points in which even
they are lacking, and this, the crowning cx-
cellencc of a roofing material, is offered at the
same price as the sawed shingle of standard
makers. Now this is'a matter really worthy
of your attention. and not only yours but of
every one of your readers. _
I have completed arrangements for the ‘ex-
elusive sale of these goods, and shall continue
to receive them as fast as the maker can spare
them. I am in receipt of advices from them
machines as fast as they can be made,in hopes
soon to be able to keep the supply up to the
demand. First come, first served. '
Yours truly, E. J. HILL.

an in.sely severe Cough. Medical counsel cali-

effect a cure, and at last having given up allh‘opes
of recovery, as a final remedy, has strongly urged
to try Dr. A. J. Flagg’s Cough and Lung Syrup,
which I procured, and using several bottles, found
myself at last a NEW WOMAN. It is with deep

The Rev. A. F. Beard, D. D., preached his
eighth anniversary sermon as pastor of‘ Ply-
mouth Congregational Church in this city
yesterday morning. The text was found in
Psalms 48: 12,13, and the discourse-was a
survey of “the foundation, the walls, towers
and palaces of Zion.” It was an admirable
presentation of the elements of strength in a
church, and closed with a brief statement of
the numerical condition of the society.
When Dr. Beard assumed the pastorate,
the membership of the church was 268. Dur-
ing the eight years subsequent thereto, there
being received on profession. The annual
increase has averaged 53 ; by profession ' 38.
There has been an annual gain, above all
losses by letters, death and two thorough re-
visions of the rolls, of 35. The present mem-
bership is 545:—Syracuse Daily Journal.

DILSCEENCK’S PULMONIC Srmrr, Sax WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE Pints—These medcines
have undoubtedly. performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredienis, and contain not ing which can
be injurious to the human cons itution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption,
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if 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 makc' 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, Ilivcr, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all
llrc'diseascd matter f'rom the body . These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured.
and as Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea IVeed Ton-
tic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operfite in this way, i: is obvious they are
the only genuine cure forl’ulrflonaryflonsump-
tion. Each“bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schcnck is

Dear Sirz—For seven or eight years past I have
been in poor health. and for the past year or more
very feeble. My health continued to decline, and
my flesh and strength wasth away, until I was un-
able to work or even go up stairs without exhaus-
tion. I suffered from frequent and distressrng ut-
tulcks from palpitation ot the heart, my food dis-
tressed me,causing ascitiity and pain in the stom-
ach; and - I suffered from extreme nervousness,
constipation and debility ot‘ the system, generaiiy,
,my blood bein thin and poor amt sluggish in en'-
culation, and was tOr years suffering all the tor-
tures ot‘a confirmed dys optic. About Six months
since I concluded I won it try a bottle of l’ERuVi-
AN SYRUP, and received so much benefit from it
that I purchased five bottles more, and have con-
tinued the use of the Syrup until quite recently.
it has restored my health to such an extent that 1
feel myself as good as new. My‘dlgestlon is good
and my weight has increased 111 the past four
months from one hundred and twenty to onehun-
dred and thirty-eight pounds; my strength has all
returned and my general health has thus won-
derfully improved, and I can truly say I owe it all
to the rise or our Pituuvrxn Syuur’. _ I earnestl
