N or“ alk Schools,
While all who believe in good . public
._ schools must deeply regret the—recent- action
lately taken in lowering their hitherto high
standard, nevertheless few towns can bcait
equal advantages offered to youth of both
sexes through the medium of our Select and
Private Schools. We have. here the largest
Boys Collegiate school in the State, if not in
all New England. In thoroughness of its
educational advantages, healthfulness and de-
sirability of location, it is unsurpassed, and
despite “hard times” both its popularity and
patronage are steadily on the increase. Dr.
Fitch’s “Hillside Seminary” for boys, by the
way the most charmingly located schopl in
the State, though arranged and designed to be
restricted to smaller limits than the Selleck
School, is conceded to be one of the very
best Boarding and Day Schools for boys in
the whole country. While a thorough and
practical business education is made a spec-’
ialty, lads are here taken and fitted for any
college, and every child is under the personal
supervision and care of his teacher. Mr.
Leighton, though more recently established
here, has already wpn enviable populrrity as
an instructor of. young gentlemen in all
branches of Common, Business or Classical
Education, and we are glad to know he is
meeting with such marked success.
For little misses and young ladies we have
the well known and widely appreciated
schools of the Misses Brockway and of the
Misses Stevens, (notices of whose recent pub-
lic examinations are given elsewhere in to-
day’s paper), anl the more recently establish-
ed “Terrace Place” school of Mrs. Harlem.
In all of these popular and well sustained
schools, misses are received as day scholars
and boarders. The Kindergarten school re-
cently located at the Staats’ Placg, on Belden
avenue, is winning its way to the public at-
tention and bringing- together quite a large
number of very young children of both sexes.
The “Young. Ladies’-aud Childrens’ Insti-
tute” established just one year ago bpriss
Eliza Carter,.also. on Belden avenue, and
where misses of . all ages, and little lads up to
twelve years are received, has attained in its
short career, a well deserved popularity. Its
success has been very marked and its future
is well assured. It opened- with seventeen
pupils and closed its first term with nearly
thirty. Boarders and day scholars are re-
ceived, and this school now ranges in the
ages of its scholars from five to seventeen.
It has a very thorough system in all its. details
and the purpose is to lead the child up from
the alphabet to the highestattainments of
scholarship. A full four year’s course is ar-
ranged for young ladies, at the end of which
it is the purpose to graduate them with attain-
ments as high and varied as are acquired at any
college where young ladies are admitted.
Close personal attention of the teacher and
complete thoroughness may be said to be the
specialty of this rapidly growing school.
With such an array of scholastic advan-
tages—the conceded healthfulness and sur-
passing beauty of Norwalk, we predict that
not many years can elapse before our town
will become Specially noted throughout the
country for its superior schools and the ex-
ceptional advantages it offers the youth of
the land. . -
Hon. A. B. Mygatt and son were in town
last Thursday, in pursuance of their duties
as U. S. National Bank Examiners. They
found the books, accounts, vouchers and bal-
ances all right in all our banking institutions,
and will so report to Comptroller Knox at the
Treasury Department. We do not learn that
the Examiner even found it necessary to rep-
rimand any one of our banks for offering their
customers discounts below legal rates of in-
terest, as many New York city banks are
just now doing. There was one thing, how-
cverfthat weighed upon the spirits of our
friend Mygatt. The President’s recent civil
service reform letter, wherein he forbids U.
S. officials from attending Political Concen-
tz'ons, and especially from “contributing to
the cause,” that it was, and especially the lat-
cci', Lilith uuy. ..-~. 1’“... .‘.:.~:L_ Ir 1-
drew. Just think of it—What would a Re-
publican Convention in Connecticut be and
no Mygatt there? And‘what would an elec-
tion be in old Litchfield County after the
Hon. Wm. H. Barnum had “sowed his oats”
with customary prodigality, add Mygatt for-
bidden to contribute a cent to the “necessary
and incidental expenses” of. an election in
New Milford! This is too cruel and we share
his depression.

Our friend E. \V. Stuart has leased his
West Avenue residence for the summer to
Mr. Dunham, the New York Piano manufac-
turer. Mr. S. corrects our impression that he
rents his home from choice, and says that his
repeated financial misfortunes make it com-
pulsory upon him to seek less expensive quar-
ters, for these months when his home would
be most enjoyed by him. We sincerely hope
there’s a. better time coming for him and the
thousands similarly afiected.‘

Crown—The Beatty Brothers Hat shop
closed on Saturday for the usual summer va-
cation after a very busy season. ‘ ‘
Messrs. Morison & Hutchinson have also
closed their Shirt establishment, for the
month of July, as usual. '
The Cousins’ Shoe factory, having enjoyed
a busy season, have shut down for their usual
brief vacation.
Our neighbor of the Eagle, can swallow
the biggest kind of a fish, with story, but
still makes a wry face in his effort to take in
our eight inch strawberry. Well, knowing
, his incredulous rature, we did not state the
whole size of that “Great American” berry.
It was nearer eight and a half inches, than
eight, as we stated it, and we had three eye
witnesses to the measurement. We thodght
eight inches was large enough, and so stated
it, but if we have got to contest the size, we
may as well get it all in.
The richest joke of the season is to the ef-
fect that opposition was made to the newly
appointed P. M. at Westport because he was
a relative of H. H. Belden, who is charged
with having instigated the conspiracy to en-
trap Capt. Burr. Some thirty indignant West-
porters it is said, assembled and nominated a
Mr. Taylor as the man they would have for
their Postmaster. Mr. T. was a brave‘Union
soldier. and everyway deserving the honor
conferred, but it turns out that he also is a
cousin of the tabooed H. H. Belden. Is there
to be no peace to the extra pious, as well as
to the wicked?
Pres. Hayes was pretty well toasted on his
New England trip. He was also made an L.
L. 1)., by Harvard College, while Vice-Pres-
ident Wheeler was similarly honored at Scher
nectady. If they will only temper law with
justice they will do well enough.

In the way of excursions nothing better
could be offered, the people having the choice
of going to Rockaway or up the Hudson.
The Adelphi will make her landings at New
York, and then proceed down the beautiful:
bay—which will be more attractive on the 4th
than any other day,—and out on the ocean to
Rockaway Beach, which place is rapidly re-
gainingits former popularity as a sea—side
resort. There is ' a splendid beach and all
who-delight in ocean. bathing can, easily be
satisfied. The boat will arrive back eafly-in
the evening—Music by Ives’ Band.
Another excusion will be by steamer Laura,
down the' Sound, around New York
City, and somewhere up the Hudson. The

tional Guard will arrive on the Adelphi, to-
night and be received by the Burnside
Guards, who will give them a collation at
their armory. . The two companies will‘en
march up-town and down ~East Avenue to
Fort Point, where the visiting company will.
encamp three days. On the morning of the
4th a target match will take place between
tween teams selected from the two companies,

Another Norwalk Boy Honored.
Lewis H. Nash, the young sdn of F. H.
Nash, Esq, who it may be remembered, dur-
ing his last summer’s vacation sailed a cat-5
rigged yawl from Norwalk around to Philan
.thia', to visit the Centennial, graduated.
last week at the Stephens’ Institute of Tech-
nology, with the highest honors of his class.
He not only received the Degree of Mechani-
cal Engineeg, but bore off the higher honor
of ValedictOrian. In the subjects‘submitted
by the graduating class, young Nash furnish-
ed an original and ingenious design for a side
wheel steamer. Before entering the Stephen’s
Institute, young Nash had been a student at
the South Norwalk High School.
According to the telegraphic report from
the seat of War in Asia Minor, the American
Missionaries situated at Van,are not having an
easy or safe time of it, since the occupation
of that city by the Turkish forces. The
troow are reported to be acting very brutally
and the Missionaries have been obliged to
take their residence on boats, floating up and
down the lake, during the day, and sleep in
some secluded village at night. We hope to
hear seen of their having-a safer abiding place. 5
That Adams express horse would make a
famous hurdle racer. He started from GA-
ZET'I‘E Building, Thursday, on a little private
run down Water Street. W. C. Street &Co‘s
wagon was backed up to the sidewalk, the
wagon and horse reaching more than half way
across the street. The express horse scorned
to turn out, and when he reached the barri-
cade made a magnificent leap over the Street
wagon, which he cleared handsomely, but
the 'heavy express wagon dropped on the
other and the result was a. wreck of the light-
est. No damage to the express establishment.
Henry Allen, the West Avenue Builder,
contemplates a voyage to Europe on or about

Target Shooting.
A team of six men from Co. D. Norwalk,
with Lieut. Betts as captain, went to Green-
wich to compete with a team from Co. F. of
that place, on Wednesday last. The Norwalk
,men used the State cartridge in the first score
and the Greenwich'men used acartridge with
less powder, better adopted to the range,
. which was two hundred yards. At the end
of the score the lighter cartridge was ruled
out, and the second score was more favorable
for the Norwalk team. The shooting was
off-hand, no rest being allowed. A return
match, it is expected, -will_ soon be held in
Norwalk.. We publish the score below :

harbor to Bell's ship yard. The contestants
were ten fullyigged, flush decked schooners,
the larger one with top~sail. The sail was

schooner coming in first. " Time was called,
and‘ another start made, the larger taking and
keeping the lead, coming to the stake boat

One of the most enjoyable events of the
season was the occasion of the Reception and
Commencement Exercises of the Misses
Brockway's Selectgehool,’ at the Athen'aeum
on Wednesday evening. A large and appre-
ciative audience responded to the invitation
to be present and witness the closing exerci—
ses of the school. The progamme consisted
of Readings, Recitations, Original Essays by
the Graduating class and Music, all of which
evinced a thoroughness of preparation on the
part of the participants, which is, 'in itself,
a compliment to the efficienct and good man-
agement of the school. Where all did well,
it would seem invidious to particularize, but
the exhibition of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic sccmed particularly enjoyable.
It is worthy of. remark that no exercises
were brought forward which 'were not ,the
result of training by the teachers of - the
school, if we except the very agreeable con-
tribution of Select Readings at the close of
the entertainment, by Mr._Martin theteacher
of elocution.
After an appropriate address to the gradu-
ating class and the presentation of diplomas
by Rev. Mr. Hamilton and prayer by Rev.
Mr. Bentley, the guests dispersed, feeling‘
that with all the natural advantages of Nor-

women for thorough intellectual and aesthetic
culture in schools of higher grade.

There are two things of which Norwalk
'has reason to feel proud, the GAZETTE and
fl", cregain. steamer Adelphi. 1 know of
persons in the city Who read the GAZETTE and
declare that they derive as much pleasure in
reading'the Norwalk Gazette as a paper 'of
positive merit and interesting réading matter
far superior to any country journal ever read.
Such an opinion from those’ uninfiuenced by
home prejudices is no mean r/compliment.
Then the beautiful steamer Adelphi affords
an opportunity for a charming and cheap sail
unparalleled by any steamer leaving the port of
New York. The Adelphi is a commodious
and superbly furnished boat. A sail up the
East River and Long Island Sound present-
ing scenery at various points, which for va-
‘ried and exquisite beauty is certainly not sur;
passed by anything along the Hudson, thus
affording persons an opportunity to visit Nor-
walk who otherwise would have know it only
by its prominence in the Revolutionary war and
ts prompt patriotism m the war of the Rebel-
lion,and by many only by the great Rail Road
accident. A day at Norwalk is an agreeable
surprise to all who have never visited that
historical and romantic Town. New England
abounds in townswherc nature has donned
her choicest robes, but few where enter-
prising capital has so widely directed in fos- ,
tering and developing the manufacturing
and industrial interests of the place, and cul-
ture that. is so neatly displayed. Natural
beauty and scenery and artistic taste are
made tributary each to the other.

-which is not behind the best New York jew-
elry establishments. In their new and _impos-"
ing store on Wall street, west of the Nor-
walk Hotel, they have introduced a city nov-
elty in the way of. window shelving. A se-
ries of highly polished French plate .513“
slabs have been adjusted across their windows
upon which’thcir triumphs of the jeweler’s
art, in the way of their most delicately and
exquisitely wrought articles of use and orna-
ment, are displayed. These transparent
shelves, especially when illuminated by their
gas jets, give a wdnderfully'added-lustrc to
the burnished silver and gold articles thereon
displayed. In common with all other indusa
tries, the jewelrytrade has suffered great de3
pression, but fair dealing and the full and
attractive stock constantly kept on hand by
our friends, the Jaeksons, have ensure dand
continued to them a fair share of the public
patronage, despite the predictions of many
that their having removed so far from the
business centre to their new store,would oc'.
casion them‘ a heavy loss of trade. For One
we glory in andcommend their faith andenter-
prise in thus breaking out of the ruts of for-
mer trade and in the erection of so fine and
noble a commercial an edifice in the midst of
so hard times. '
Somebody on the Amphitheatre. grounds
was very careless in the use of fire arms last
Saturday. A man and buy were indulging
in a sail on the river in a small sailboat, when
a bullet whistled between them, and several
others struck the water unpleasan‘tly near;
People should be more careful, and not dis-
charge fire arms without knowing something
about where thc bullet will strike.

Garden City is eighteen miles from Brook-
lyn; occupying agmt of fourtgep.:thousand
acres ’_ on ‘Hempstead' Pia s," Svhic'h "was
bought by the late A. T. Stewart for almost
nothing, and has since been laid out and
largely built upon. Two miles nearer Brook-
lyn is Mineola, where annually the great Fair
and Agricultural Show for all Long Island is
held. The Hempstead Plains were an unused
desert not worth the taxes, but Mr. Stewart
at once sunk a huge well with— engine works
atta ed, and now all the dwellings are’furn-
ishe with water and the usual “city im-
provements.” Several beautiful fountains
add to the'beauty of the public squares. A
very handsome five-story brick and stone ho-
tel is centerally situated. The Cathedral
stands south from this, in a plot of twenty-
four acres. It is already. advanced in con-
struction and will be finished in two 'years.
3 is buit of Bellevillc, N. J., stone, a grayish
drab, very pleasing in tone.' The spire will
be 197 feet high and‘the edifice 96x150 feet,
of ornamental gothic style. An Episcopal
residence costing $200,000, a Library build-
ing, Chapter house, and many other diocea-
sun buildings will be grouped upon’ these
grounds. When this is well accomplished
Garden City will be a well built place, very
attractive by reasonof its grassy lawns and
avenues of trees. These ceremonies to-day
are the first stage in its history as :1 Cathedral
and University town, which qualities will at-
tract to it a choice, eulgiva d society.
Immensecrowds of pen e went out from
Brooklyn and New York to-day, and multi-
tudes gathered from all the towns and villages .
far and near, coming in their Own convey-
ances. Those who came rectly from’Brook-
lyn by the Long Island ailroad,allad the op-
portunity of proving the comforts 'of' rapid
transit along Atlantic avenue frrom Fiatbush

cation will be opened permanently on Mon-

Shortly after noon the procession began 'to
move toward the Cathedral headed by the
Twentysthird HegimentBaud. The Sunday
school children with their » fluttering banners
and pennons, the choir boys in surplices, the
deaconesses in their black dresses, the‘clergy
—one hundred in number—wearinglsurplices,
stoles and Oxford caps, the wardens, Vestry-
men, choristers, invited guests, Ishe standing
committee and Bishop all:_made an , imposing
procession, while the music, and the thou-
sands of spectators gave inspiration‘ to the
scene. :The-daywas beautiful. The services
were yery‘impressive? and the addressesex—
ceptioh‘ally eloquent and appropriate. The-
corner stone, after receiving the usual depos-
its, was laid with the gold handled silver
trowel which two years ago was used for the
same purpose at Rome in founding St. Paul’s
American Episcopal Church. ’
The occasion was altogether one of very
great interest and unmarredby any accident
or blunder. Theifoundingiof this Cathedral
at an immediate outlay of $2,000,000, marks
an era in the history of the Christian'church‘
in the United States. Bishop Littlejohn is to
bc.congratula:.ed on the favorable prespects
opening for his young but vigorous diocese.

The‘ race on. Tuesday,“ between Harvard

minds—in a splended victory for "fair Ear-’2'

As tllfiY- came xowing‘down the river some
said, “- ow powerful the Harvards look!”
Others, “ How pretty the Yales row !" and
the truth of the matter. is they. were both,
strong and powerful crews, and both . were
frowing in splendid form. ‘ Both crews caught
'the water well together, ’but if anything the
Harvards had a; little the best of .it: "Both
started off at 36 strokes per minutes, and both
rowed well. The Harvard men were reach:
ing well out, using their backs 'to a good ad-
vantage, “hitting her hard 0n the beginning.”
and pulling their stroke well through and in
almost perfect time. The Yales were rowing.
well together and had a good catch on the be:
ginning of the stroke, but they did not pull
Ihrough'as well as the other crew. They
handled their cars nicely and it was very pret-
ty rowing, but not as effective as it ought.to‘-
have been. Before they had rowed a quar-
ter of a mile the Harvard crew had a good
half length lead on Yale, and at the' railroad
bridge she had increased her lead to a length,
both crews still roWing 36 strokes per minute.
At the mile and a half point Yale Waspulling
37 strokes per minuts to Harvard’s 36. It
was evident that Wood was trying to close up
the gap of- .clear 'waths ---butv:Bancroft,€ who
was rowing. a"lcng steady stroke, held :thcm,
'neither'losln‘g or gaining: ‘ The Yale" men
were rowing very pluckily, every man doing
all he knew how, and they were pulling, a
plucky race. At this point the crews rowed‘
.by astean'l launch filled with Yale men,-'and,,
on receiving cheers from them, Yale began 'to‘
spurt, and, runnin' their stroke up to about
:40, the began to iminish the three lengths
1 which ,arvard had on them; but the Harvard
jmen wcfe ready with a spurt, and," for the
first time they ran their stroke up to 38 per

with des emtion, and they succeeded in cut-
'; ting the"- eddsdown tiltwo lengthsaandin this
' position the race was finished. Harvard row--
ing in geod form, crossed the line two lengths

:“Go” to the finish and were never pressed for

The Graduating Exercises of the Worces-
{ter High" School, of which Mr. J. W. Fair-
banks is principal, took place on Tuesday
evening last, in the largest hall in that city.
The city papers containlong reports of the
exercises, and speak in warm terms in praise
gof the school and its management. We clip
the following from the report in the Worces-
cter Evening Brew-t " ,- '
“Mechanics Hall was filled last evening be-‘
yond its utmost seating capacity, by. a bril-
liant gathering of parents, friends and mem-
bers of the City Council and School Board to
witness the graduation of the largest class
that Worcester. High School has ever se‘nt
forth. ‘ The class numbered 63 members, cv-'
my one of them thereughl'y .rained .in those-
studies which, go to mpke up the four, years
course of this’ exCell'ent school. It wits a class
'of which the city, the School Board and the
princi lof the school may justly feel proud.
The 0&3 occupied the platform, behind them
and occupying either end of the gallery were
the remaining pupils of the High School
farming the chorus. The exercises were con
ducted by Joseph W. Fairbanks, prmcrpal of
the'scliool. 0n the platfbrm by his side were
seated Mayor Pratt, Superintendent Marble.
and Colonel E. B. Stoddard of the School
Board.” .
Deficit in the .Charter Oak Life
Insurance Company.
HARTFORD, Conn'., June 28.—The special
commission for the examination of life insur.
ance companies appointed by the last Legisla-
ture having examineda large art of the as-
sets of the Charter Oak Life nsurance Com-
pany, have certified to Commissioner Sted.
man that there is an actual deficrt in the as.
sets of the company of over $2,220,000, and
also that there are questionable assets amount-
ing to ovoi- $l,735,000. It is believed, how-
ever, that the policy-holders under the pres-
ent circumstances ought not to sacrifice their
policies. The Con-rant says: ' .
“The first observation .to be directed to the
public is cautiOn to policy-holders not to be
frightened into surrendering their policies or
neglecting payments. The appointment of
the commission and the proceedings it has
undertaken are all wisely intended andcalcu-
lated to secure the interests of the policy-
holders and maintain respect for the Iowa and
thecredit of the State, and nothing Is done
save under the advice of able counsel and the
approval of honorable business men.
Insurance Commissioner Stedman sneaks
very encouragingly of the officers of the Ohm--
ter Oak Company, and says they are abund—
antly able to pay every cent to policy holders.
While there $1553.11!“ hegn some mismanage.
ment, and losses, the company is still sound
and will do well in the future unless they 'are
ruined by the effects of what seems to have
beena “ remature e lesion.”

Marblehead Burned.
Bosron, June 25l—At 2 o’clock'this morn-
ing fire broke out in the rear of the Marble'
head hotel of Pleasant street, and from this
small beginning spread until fifteen acres of
buildings, including every shoe factory in the
town, had been destroyed. The department
rallied with all possible- dispatch, but it was
soori seen that the fire was beyond their ef-
forts to control. Dispatches were sent to Sa-
lem and Lynn for help. The main source of
the water supply was Brick pond reservoir,
and over this was the General Glover engine ,
house. In the rear of the engine house was
the building owned ~by John S Martin and
occupied-by Lyons &. Collins, shoe manufac-
tuers.
was a barn, in the rear of the Marblehead
hotel. The hotel itself stood about twenty
feet from'the engfiie house. Thus the first
result of the fire was the simultaneous burn-
ing of these four buildings, and, consequent-
ly the fire department was. virtually com-
pelled to wait until these were burned in or.
der to get any reliable supply of water. J oh
Wcodin, fireman, was fatally hurt. . =
A carefully prepared list of the losses by
the Marblehead fire makes the aggregate on
buildings $358,000; loss to occupants, stocks
machinery, furniture, etc., $176,000; total
loss, $534,000. - -
Marblehead is a town of some ten or twelve
thousand inhabitantsmnd although connected
by a branch road with theEastern railroad,
and only a few miles distant from Salem, its
- ~natives;have retained many old-fashioned and
peculiar ways, and there are many, ancient
buildings which appeared to have been stand-
ing since the days of the Revolution. Its de-
caying commerce forced it to turn its atten-
tion to manufactures, and there were quite a
number of beef: shops in the place.
