ii‘l'cderick Fitch, a bright and promising
son of Hiram Fitch, aged 15 years, in at-
trmpting to separate his father‘s horse from
one belonging to Enos Osborn, in the same
enclosure, was kicked by his own animal, in
the side, on Thursday last, and died from the
effects of the injury on Saturday aboutrnoon.‘
It was not supposed that he had been very

A most rational and delightful change for
the better, is bcillg made outside as well as
inside the First Congregational Church. That
disnlally sombre fence, a relic of the lugu-
hrious era of church architecture, has been
removed and is to give place to a neat granite;
coping which shall open toGod‘s genial sun-
shine and the delighted eyes of His children, .
the green sward. . , . _-
Admirers of Mr. W. D. Howells's charm-
ing story, “A Chance Acquaintaueefi’will be.
glad to know that “Kitty" never entereda
eonvcnt after all, and that she did not become
lliseonsolate. The romance was provokingly
incomplete, but to morrow the sprightly lady
who sat for the picture of the heroine,—Miss
Annie T. Howells, second daughter of the
American Consul at Quebec, and sister of the
:llltilOl‘,——-ls to take that step to the matrimo-
uial altar which we all looked for so eagerly
ill the tale. The ceremony takes place at the
Consulate, Quebec, at noon, and hosts of
friends will joyously wish them prolonged
life and all the bliss which anxious readers
always supposed to be in store for the imag-
inary “happy pair” of- thc Romance.

The eulogy upon memo and character of
the late Senator Ferry recently published in
the Congregational Quarterly and written by
Rev. Mr. Hamilton, has been put in pamphlet
form, and copies will be left on sale at a quar-
ter, at Prowitt's, Sellcck’s and the Gazsrrn
Orrlcn. The article has attracted wide and
complimentary attention in thcrcligions press
and is well worth the 25 cents it has cost. _

The many friends of Mrs. Rev. J. J. Wol-
sey here in Norwalk, will be deeply pained‘as
they read the announcement of her demise.
Herc, where she dwelt so long, and her pure
and noble Christian character made her be-
loved of all, it is most fitting that her obse-
quies should be held and her mortal remains
be laid away at rest; But while friends will
mourn a beautiful and lovely spirit departed
from earth, all. are comforted by the sure
hope that here is now a spirit glorified in
Heaven. .

Hon. Ira Chase, President of the New York
Composite Iron Works, charmed by the at-
tractive beauties of Norwalk, paid as a visit
two weeks since with a view of securing a"
location for his large Iron and Wire Works in
our town. He foundthe Norwalk Iron Works
to be almost exactly what his needs required
and returned with the hopeful expectation
that he could arrange for a removal of their“
nlanufactory here. That very evening he ‘
had a. slight apolectic attack, which was fol-
lowed by a fatal one last Week, and now he
sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. The
event was indeed most sad and startling to us
who had known his worth for many years,
and who had anticipated so much from the
residence among us of such an enterprising
and superior a citizen.
The New Haven Register sums dp the cen-
dition of the party which left there for
the Black Hill, last January, as follows:—
Most of the firemen left the main body,
secur‘ed claims and are working hard with"
indifferent success. Three or four of the
others are doing the same; two-are home;
six are ill Yankton,on their way home, “dead
broke,” while one fellow is out in the Hills
ill jail for horse stealing. he having barely
escaped hanging, Verily they could not-have
done much worse by staying in New Haven.
The democratic Town and City collector in
Hartford is in trouble. . His accounts have
not been audited for several years, and thou-
sands of .dollars belonging to both City and
Town cannot be accounted for, because
his-booksare so badly “mixed.” I

The arrival here on‘ Thursday last, of the
Greenfield Hill English drag and four, led
our friend Cram into the error of supposing
the New York Coaching Club v'vcre j coming
here, with ulterior designs upon the coaching
line he has so long had iu__ contemplation. Our
East Avenue friend nlust hurry up his “great
sensatiqni’: or the public} expectation will. tire
out.

The Rev. Mr. Williams, the new pastor of
2nd M. E. Church, gives evidence of his be-‘l
ing agentleman of refinement and good taste
in that- he is cleaning' up 1 the parsonage
grounds, laying out walks, fiowcr-beds‘and

without any love for the beautiful in nature
or taste for' keeping things about his home

In company with Mr. Edwin Hoyt of the
New Canaan Nursery, we last week paid a
visit to the strawbe propagating grounds
of Mr. E. J. Durand, of Irvington, N. J.
As is well known,among fruit culturists, Mr.
D. has for the past thirty years made straw:
berry culture a specialty. The laws of prop—
agating are as unerring to him, in his rearing
of different varieties 'of strawberries, as they
are to the breeder of thoroughbred cattle,‘
and he boasts of some three thousand varieties
which he has developed." His greatest tri-t
umph he has named the “Great American,”-
and it is truly' worthy the name. We saw
hundreds of quarts on the vines of this 'va‘
riety which would average as large as limes,
and the largest of which werc'as large as
lemons. We measured. one which in itsi‘lar-
gcst circumference "was plump eight tithes!
But the enormous size ef’tlie' Great Ameri-
can is not theif' ellief'iécomebddtiOn. They
are of very superior flavorand en'ormous pro-
ducers. Mr. Durand's sonpicked twu hun-
dred quarts of ripe berries from one hundred
hillsat one picking, twenty-three quartsof
which he picked easily in twenty minutes.
The yield of these berries, as cultivated by
Mr._ D., almost exceeds belief, and is well
worth a trip to Irvington to behold. The
plants wiltbe for sale at the nursery of S.
Hoyt & Sons, this fall. .

Take as one instance, that of a gentleman,

ought to be rewarded by ai’steady advance in '
his pay untilhissalary is commensurate with
his labor and position.- Helwas so encourag-
ed until his salary reached-$1.500, at which
it was kept. We think the people are still
willing to pay that amount, which is reason-
able, But “economyll'is the order-”of the day,

‘ We have‘some female teachers who have

heretofore at about onc-third the salary paid

years of faithful service by cutting off $100,
or even $50, from their yearly salaries? Make
what contracts you can, with new aspirants,
gentlemen, but do not drive away old and
tried servants, or force-them to take unrea-
sonable prices,g'mply because the times are

. The Police matter which has agitated the
public mind so much, has received a new im-
petus by the action taken on Thursday even-
ing by the Congregational Church. The ac-
tion may not have been brought up in accord.
ance with church usuages or rules, but it has
its supporters and opposers, and unless it is
handled with much prudence and cage may
make trouble. A Committee to investigate
the “rumors" Was to have been appointed by

It is .to be sincerely regretted that the
. country cousins need so much attention. It
is certain that Warden Hyatt was invited

patience, cousins, the firemen will invite you
all to attend next time, and send coaches for
you.

on the sidewalk. Before 8 o’clock. p. m., the
prisoner was tried, found guilty, fined $7 and
costs, and serum prison to remain until the
fine was paid. Just here is a difficulty which
is hard to solve. The City police make .the
arrest, the City pay for the labor, the Town
ofioz‘als step in and collect their fees. . If fines
are cellccted they are paid to the town trees-.-

Letters from the People.
EDITORS Gazer-hr :—Some month's—ago an
ordinance was issued by the Borough author-
ities ordering the removal of all sign, ‘avvnlng
and hitching posts within twenty -fect' of -
any cross-walk, it being claimed that like
. hitching of teams to these posts will... source
of great'aun'oy'ance to the traveling public, as
it was often the case that the crossings were
completely blockaded and travel rendered
difficult and unpleasant.
Many of our pedestrians rejoiced to see the
numerous obstructions to free travel removed_
and everyone remarked “what an improve-
ment 1" But as a matter of fact after a good
ordinance has been established and enforced
and becomes “an old story" and of no im-
portancc (’r‘) as has been demonstrated on
Main street, ill the erection of the awning
in front of one of the grocery stores.
Taking into consideration previous. rulings
upon the subject, I think it very inconsistent
to ask the public, whenever they desire to
cross the street in the vicinity named, to
wade in mud ankle deep in order to avoid
some team or teams hitched to these posts,
particularly to the north one.
If the posts that were removed, and which
in many instances stood a number of feet
from the walk were nuisances, certainly this
one, standing as it does immediately in the
crossing, isa nuisance also, and should be
removed at once or else let those parties who
sacrificed their sign, awnings, and convenien-
ces for hitching erect their posts again and
introduce once more the old-time style' of
general blockading.
“Fair play and no favor” must rulc,and the
attention of the gentlemen having such mat-
ters in charge is solieted. OBSERVER.
Norwalk, June 18, 1877.
Mnssns. Enl'rons :—It is well enough to
talk about the City Band “ meeting the people
half-way,” etc. We have tried it to our satis-
faction, and this is the way it works: When
music is wanted for nothing, the City Band is
cordially invited; when a good" price is to be
paid the money goes out of town. Only last
year one of the city fire companies wanted to
turn out to show their new uniforms; they
had no money but assured usif we would
play free on that occasion we should not be
losers, they would have parades in the future
when fair prices would be paid, etc. We
played for them free. When this great fire-
mcn’s demonstration came up they did not
even come to us for an estimate, but two
bands were hired out of town. We were not
rejected on account of our price, as many
supposed. The Borough folks have done
more to encourage us than the people of the
city. We do not Wish to complain, but
simply to set our selves right before the public.
A Brass Band is an expensive organization,
and. needs much encouragement. BAND.

Our old friend Barraclough, at P. C. Bar-
num’s,»'Chatham Square, N. Y., wants it par-
ticularly understood that the summer styles
and qualitl'a of their ready-made goods for
1877 are far superior to former years, and
owing to the hard times and low wages their
garments are offered at wages far lower than
ever known or heard of before. The N orwalk
steamer makes the P. C. Barnum salcsrooms
especially easy of access, and the cntircex,
pense of a trip to New York can be saved in
the purchase of one of their summer suits.
A call and examination of the quality and
make of tlleir'garments will satisfy all of their
cheapness. *

At the meeting of the board of directors of

Thursday evening, P. T. Barnum was elected
president, and changes were made in the ex-

ply of new mains is already ordered and a-
largcly increased supply is promised within
thirty days. The first practical result of the
popular demand for a more abundant water
supply grew out of the burning of Glover
Sanford & Son's hat factory, whereby eleven
lives were lost and $250,000 worth of proper-
ty destroyed. ‘

Du. Scnsxcx’s Pumtoxrc SYRRI‘, Sax WEED
TONIC AND Maulmxxn PILLs.—These medcincs
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. Tllcy are compounded ot‘licge-
table ingredients, and contain nothing which can
beinjurious to the human constitution. Other
.remedics 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 make a cure
impossible. Schcnck’s Pulmonic Syrup, is wars
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,
audas Schenckfs Pullnonie Syrup, Sen Weed Ton-
tie, and Mandrake Pills arc the only medicines
which operate in this way, i: is obviOus they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
tion. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is
professionally at his principal ollicc, corner Sixth
and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must be addressed.
