Tuesday, July 10th, 1877.
At a large meeting of the creditors of.the
Norwalk Mills, held at the oiliee of IIurbutt
.0 Relyea, 011 Thursday last, Col. I“. St. John
Lot-kwdod was by a most complimentary
vi'ilt', elected; assignee of the unfortunate cor-
pol-alien. ' Proseedings in bankruptcy having
thus been legally established, there is little
..liance to save this ,noble wreck from an ut-
It was hoped the keen busi-
. the one only creditor stand—
, have induced him, at the last
art to the honorable comprom-
i,-_;e to which all others had assented. But in
this. the hopes of those who had feelings of
sympathy for such of our citizens as were so
distressingly involved, and all who had hoped
to see this important tributary to our \‘vhole
town’s prosperity recuscitated, were doomed
to disapplintment. The universal judg-
ment is, that no better selection could have
teen made for all assignee. Col. Lockwood
i - himself deeply involved as one of the
..wlnpalrr‘s guarantees, and the greater num-
ber of the bankrupt concern’s creditors are
hi: p.rsonal friends, so that whatever of
Ihh-lity. industry and business sagacity he
llll~~t'4:¢l‘>i will he brought into requisition to
are the nttermost fin-thing for its unfortu-

The cnly speech making on the 4th was at
Mr. iilmxen‘s Wooflstock jubilee, where the
pv'ililiell situation recgived special attention
from numerous prl :ninent gentlemen. Sena-
t ‘il' Blaine and ex-Gov. Chamberlain, of
:2 nn‘n Cal-cilina, were the principal talkers,
Illi‘.\'t?‘,'t'l',:llltI attacked the President's Mexican
a-ul S nrtllern policy,while other speakers were
pr-‘d'usc- ill praises of the same policy. ..
The new Southern policy seemsfi) be a
grand success. In some states it has restored
place by wiping out the‘ republican party
altogether, and putting the colored majority
in subjection to the old domineering minori-
l_\'. Ola Louisiana they are showing their
gratitude to the President by again trying to
prove that his election was secured by frauds
ot‘ the returning board. We presume they
expect our glod-naiured President to abdi—
cate ill favor of some full-blooded southerner.
We always thought the salvation of the South
depended uponthe wiping out of the color _
line. but we hardly supposed it would ever
be carried so far as to compel the colored
lll."ll to stay away from the polls or vote the
democratic ticket, “1‘1 at the same time re-
quire t‘\t‘l')' white man to sustain the same
party. lint tlnn, frotn the very nature of
things, there must, sooner or later be two
parties in the field, and all will be well that

'l‘he Congregational Sunday Schools of
Nor-walk and South Norwalk enjoyed their
combination excursion so muchlast year. that
the schools have joined dgain as will be
noticed by adv., in another column, fora
sail up the Sound to Branford Point July 19.
Those who attended the excursion last year
w ill recall how in detail as well as in general,
lin- committee endeavored to please and ac-
maunodale all who went. And as the same
committee have this entertainment in charge,
we predict greater pleasure to the attendants
resulting from the experience gained last
~ )ranford Point has all the advantages
pass ‘s‘scd by Savin Rock and is nearer the
landing, thus avoiding a long walk to the
grove. The Wheeler & Wilson full Band of
nineteen pieces has been engaged, and will
make the hours merry with delightful music.
Still another feature of improvement is the
recognition of the demand of the times, in.
"Popular Prices" the price of the excursion
being fifty cents for the round trip, and half
price. for children under 12 years of age.
."xl‘i‘tlllgClllL‘llIS have been made for transport-
ing the provisions to and from the Steamer
that all may go free from the annoyance of
bl -~ :-. We bespeak for the sclroolsa large
attendant-e that the excursion may be profit-
able as well as enjoyable. -

The public xhibition of the South Nor-
walk lligh School, passed off exceptionally
well. The exhibits made by teachers and
scholars were most creditable. The valedic-
tory and its gifted alltllO“CSS would have done
t‘l't'tIiI to a Tassar or Wellesley College gradu—
ate. And yet, where all-was so worthily
done by at” concerned, there was just one
little, trilling circumstance that to us savored
of injustice. The printed programme bore a
yon-.91: mun-int. It was a very little matter
file: 2:. Committee of Arrangements, but it
inwlvcs never-the css whole volumes of in-
justice and downright wrong which is being
II ilk! ln-re every day. In the last number of
the Fri-1112M we read a gratuitous editorial no~
tire of the proposed exhibition, which if
charged for at accustomed advertising rates,
would have been reasonable at five dollars.
()n the publicity given by the local papers
mainly, were the managers in this case, (as in
all similar cases) indebted for the large gath-I
(-ringconvened. And but for the establish-
nle:.t of the newspaper, this and the many
other similar enterprises referred to, would
have. suffered ill its scope and results The
St ill/ml could have printed the programmes
quite as neatly and cheaply as the out-of-town -
printers, and. in all justice and fair play
should have had the little job. The fraction
of, or full dollar it might have made on the .
printing is a mere trifle, but the recognition
of borne-deserving, and appreo'gion of the
sentiment of “support your own,” is very
grateful, even to the newspaper man, con-
stantly harrasscd and importuned in ,every
provincial community, to give away in aid of
some interest or other, the very best he can
. possibly proffer—lie, editorial space. The
Scull/tel may not thank us for the hourin
and our excuse is, that we are modestly, but
plainly as we know 110w, speaking two words
for ourselves while fighting a small battle for
our neighbor, If good citizens, interested in
the growth and prosperity of the places in
which they reside, would only reflect how
greatly they are served, in a thousand ways,
by a well conducted and reputable newspa-
per, these constant caper-ings abroad for a.
little job printing or otherservice in the home
printer’s line, would not long continue.

of George Rodgers, a young son of Mr.

THE FOURTH.
The shower which canief upcarly in the
evening of the 8d and ~ continued nearly all
night, served the double purpose of laying
the dust and "cooling’the atmosphere, and
puttinga damper upofl”~t_he enthusiasm of
zealous Young’America. Independence day
was therefore ushered in with much less noise
from explosions of powder, while all periph-
tetic operations were cut short and bell ring—
ing was very limited. Bright and early in
the morning, however, there was no mistak-
ing the arrival of the great anniversary, and
able celebraters. The day opened cloudy;
with cool breezes, and continued quite co
fortable until late in the afternoon when 1:
sun came out hot and the breeze died away
into a dead calm.
'THE EXCURSIONS.
Large numbers of people, coming from all
the adjacent towns, assembled at the steam-
boat wharf to take passage upon the Adelphi
and Laura, and the Danbury train brought
down eleven cars loaded with passengers to
augment the crowd. The Adelphi went to
that popular sea-side resort, Rockaway Beach,
on the south side of Long Island, returning
early in- the evening. The Laura sailed
around New York and up the Hudson a short
distance distance above Yonkers, also arriv-
ing back early in the evening. Both boats
had bands of Music, and nothing occurred to
mar the pleasures of the day.
BASE BALL.
In the morning, a match game of ball, was
played on the Fair Grounds between the Crys-
tals of Brooklynamd the Independents,of this
place. It was evident on the start that the
city boys would take no laurel crowns home
eating, but not very spirited. The Indepen-
dents played decidedly the best, but somehow
succeeded very poorly in batting—their strong
point usually. The Crystal pitcher evidently
had the knack of deceiving them. The game
closed 11 to 8 in favor of the Independents.

' TARGET SHOOTING.
In the morning teams from the visiting
New Jersey company and the Burnside
Guards, repaired to the Whistleville range,
for a target contest. Somehow our boys got
the best of it,—as Norwalk boys have a way
of doing,—as will be seen by the following

In the afternoon, {many visited the Fair
Grounds to witness the races advertised ”to
take place. The first was between Chas. E.
Brown’s b. m., Sarah Louise, and Sylvester
Knapp’s b. m., Mary. The latter won the
lat, 3d add 4th heats. The second race was
between Little Dan of Norwalk, ahd Walter
H., of Stamford. Little Dan won in three
straight heats.
AT THE AMPHITHEATRE.
Societies, in regalia, with flags and banners,
and the children of St. Mary’s Society, form-
ed at the church on West Avenue, and head-
ed by the City Band, made a. street parade
and then proceeded to the beautiful Amphi-
theatre Grove, where under the grateful shade
and by the side of the cool waters of Nortvalk
river, the day was spent in usual pic-nic
pleasures; Music was furnished for dancing.
and there was no lack of people to enjoy the
festivities.
' AT Tun rorx’rs.
Roton Point was crowded on the 4th by
pic-hie parties. Large numbers came in car-
riages, and there were many sailing parties
from this and adjoining towns. The waters
around the Point covered with sailing craft
of various sizes, presenting .a lively scene.
There was a good sailing breeze during the
day, but after 5 o’clock the wind died away,
and those who had been tempted to remain
too long, had hard work getting home, espec-
ially as the tide was against them.
At Gregory’s Point everything looked quiet
and pleasant, there being no effort made to
induce crowds to visit that resort on that day.
The Dorlon House presented a neat appear-
ance, the owner having greatly improved the
hotel and surroundings the present season.
.One or more parties who took advantage of
the good breeze in the morning to sail across
the Sound to Long Island, had a dull time
in coming back, floating all night long on the
Sound, and not reaching home till late next
mdrning. -
In the evening fireworks were set up from
various private grounds, but there was no
public display.
Rev. Mr. Hamilton is contemplating taking

old Massachusetts. “We’ve been there” and
heart, and soul, and indication, and imagina-
tion, all bid us “go and do likewise,” but there,
alas, no kind, onerous capitalfst, bent on
doing good, has yet stepped forward and of-
fered to provide for the attendant expenses of
so enchanting a journey. Alack, 3-day.

Music Hall was well filled on Monday, 2nd
inst.. by a‘ brilliant gathering of teachers, par-
cuts and friends to witness the graduation of
the first class of graduates that have‘ gone
forth from the Union High School. The
class was composed of seven young ladies, of
whom it was said by the Principal of the
School, they had fairly and honestly earned
and deserved their honors and diploma. The
class occupied _cn3 side of the platform,
the remainder being occupied by the clergy
of the city and town, His Honor, Mayor Ely
Messrs. Millard, Wilson and LeCount, of the
Board of Visitors, C. W» Hallock, Esq, Dis-
trict Committee, and a large number of anit-
ed guests. Thc exercises were opened by
Rev. Mr. Taylor, of the Baptist Tabernacle,
invoking the Divine blessing, and was follow-
ed by the readiug of essays by the graduating
class, as follows :—"0ld Things and what
they tell us," by Lizzie J. Dayton ; “Sir Wal-
ter Scott,” by Nina Comstock; “Beacon
Lights," by Mary E. Downs; “Fashionable
Follies,” by Carrie L. Meeker : “Silent For-
ces of Education,” by Abbie H. Hogan ;
“Heroes of History,” by Nancy H. Day ;
“From Nature up to Nature’s God,” with Val-
cdictory address, by Amelia J. Orlicil; all of
which were well written and delivered, and
highly appreciated by those who were so for-
tunate as to hear distinctly. Some who sat
on the back part of the platform. and back of
the readers, were not so favored. At the close
of each reading, the graduates were present-
ed with one or two boqucts, and greeted with
applause, while the Valedictorian, Miss Or-
Iich, was favored with a shower of .boquets
from the private boxes, thrown on the stage
by the hands of fair ladies, and elegant pres-
ents of baskets of flowers, borne to her by
the hands of the gentlem‘anly ushers. At. the
close of the lenghty but interesting exercises,
the diplomas were' presented by Mr. Dutton,
late principal of the school. in a short address
in which he referred to their-past association
for three years, and feelingly alluded to the
absence of some, (Misses Booth and Hoteli-
kiss, deceased) who had commenced studies
with them, commending all for their diligence
and success. Rev. Mr. Hamilton then made
a few remarks, and said he was happy to at-
tend the celebration of this “uncommon
school,” and referring to the essay “Silent
forces of Education” said there was more in
that than he could express or the audience
conceive. J. J. Millard, Esq, acting visitor,
was introduced and spoke a few mom'ents,
but the noise of the outgoing crowd made his
remarks inaudible to the majority of those
who would have been gratified to hear what
he had to say in behalf of the school. The
reception of the scholars and teachers in the
evening must have been gratifying. Large
numbers gathered, and after hearty congratu-
lations, the elite joined in the giddy dance,
which was kept up until the hour fixed fcr
closing. W -
One of those elaborate and impartial, yet
somewhat exciting meetings of the City
Board of Councilmen was held on Monday
evening. By custom, routine business re-
ceives first attention, and among this is the
presentation and auditing of bills. There is
no discussion or objection to gas bills, but on
bills for Police and Fire departments, there
is often much questioning and discussion.
The result at this meeting being the ordering
the payment of rent for Police quarters which
has not been occupied by them. The balance
of 40 cents interest still claimed but not al-
lowed, may lead to a law suit. At a late
hour, just as the reports of the Police had
been reached, the Council adjourned for one
week. ‘

damaging accusations against the police of
being off duty ata dance, without exposing

have been dropped.

How llE GOT ills EARLY POTATOEs.—Oue
of the most worthy and enterprising citizens
residing on “beautiful East AVenue," aston-
ished all his neighbors by the extra-early and
extra-large potatoes he has been digging for a
fortnight past. Wlule his envious friends
were beating their brows in efforts to divine
the mystery of such early-and prolific growth,
it finally leaked out that in order to lead the
season he had planted tubers from the hot-
bed. and thus forced these excellent substi-
tutes for food and set his neighborhood all
agog. There will be early potatoes all along
the line of East Avenue, next year.

VAN,TURKEY,Ml1y 28, 1877.‘
‘Mnsgns Eanons :—We wish to inform our
friends generally of our safety up to this
date, and know of no'better way to do so
than through the columns of your paper.
The chances that my letter will dodge ' Rus-
sian raiders by land and Russian cruisers on
the Black Sea, and find its 'Way at last to your-
ofilce, are not very brilliant, but they will di-
minish from week to week, and so I send by
to-day’s mail. Should there be opportunities
to send, I may trouble you with occasional
notes. _ ,
Of the general progress of the war we
know almost nothing; with reference to the
Asiatic campaign, even, you are doubtless
better informed titan we. Telegrams are
constantly coming to the governor but they
are for the most part. kept secret. Nothing
is allowed to leak out which works against
.tlre Turkish cause, and as almost nothing is
told, but the stereotyped answer of officials
when weer to draw out a scrap of informa-
tion'is “no news,” we infer that things are
not going on swimmingly for the Sultan’s
cause. .
As the weeks of early spring passed by
without a declaratitm of war, we were led to
entertain the faint hope that there was to be
no fighting this year. This was all broken
up, however, by a telegram which dropped in
on us like a bomb, April 19th. It was from
our friends in Erzerum, and said, “You had
better take the Bitlisf friends and come on
here as quickly as possible.” A few days la-
ter the local government announced that war
was declared. .
During the first week ilr May we were star-
tled again by the fall of Bayazid. It was
garrisoned by only twelve Turkish regiments
and so the Russians took it without firing a
gun. There could be no, mistake about the
news, for the Bayazid paella himself came in
hot haste to this city and made the announce-
ment. .
Bayazid is 90 to 100 miles from Van, and
'we knew not how soon the Russians would
advance upon this city. The Turks or the
city were very much dejected for a time, but
the pacha sent leading men to all the Koor-
dish sheikhs urging them to hasten to the
rescue.
troops here advanced to Pergri, a place about
half way from here to Bayazid, and there
pitched his camp. His force was very small
at first, but Khoordish irregulars have been
constantly pouring in so that he may have
10,000 by this time. But thTsc Khoords,
though probably not destitute of personal
bravery, ‘are wholly undisciplined, and but a_
small portion of the force can be armed with
beech-loading rifles.
So far-as known,the only artillery the Tark-
ish general has with him consists of a battery
of six pieces sent from here. If the Russians
should come with a we 1 drilled and well
equipped force of 20,00 r 'even 15,000 they
could doubtless take Van with the greatest
case. But. it is not improbable that they will
wait till the more important posts of Kars,
Ardaban and Erzerum have fallen, before
they think it worth their while to ad-
vance in this direction. 'Meanwhilc we are
treated to the wildest and most contradictory
rumors. During our civil war the daily tele-
grams and the numerous special correspond-
ents kept canards within some sort of bounds,
but here there is nothing of the kind. We
are wholly in the dark as to the Russian
force which took Bayazid. It was said to
number 15,000 men, but it may not have been
more than half that number. A few hours
this "side of Bayazid is a. small lake, and this
side of the lake a large plain‘ occupied
by shepherd Khoords and extending almost
to Pergri. It seems certain that the Russians
advanced to the small lake and camped by it,
but where they are now we know‘ not. One
report: says they have. fallen back to their for-
mer camp east of Bayazid, another report
says that there was an engagement lasting
till the third hour of the night on Saturday
and that the major general commanding had
sent to the Pacha an urgent request to hurry
on reiniorcements. Probably both reports
are false.
The country about is in a terrible state.
The “Bashi Bazouks,” as they come through
the Christian villages, take everything of
value, pay nothing for it and then compel the
villagers to shoulder their baggage and bring
it on to the next stopping place. As yet very
little blood has been shed, but. the amount of
robberies perpetrated is appalling. Here in
the city the merchants have been compelled
to close their shops, and all business is sus-
pended. Khoords would help themselves to
whatever goods they liked, and pay one-half
its value,at other times nothing. So bad and
uncontrollable was their pilfering spirit that
the pacha, who is really an excellent man, in-
directly requested the Christian merchants to
abstain from business for the present.
But this it not all nor the worst the citi-
zens have been called to endure, I notwith_
standing they have fared thus far much bet-
ter than the villagers. The Khoords stop
'those they happen to meet and take away
other articles, of value to which they may
“take a fancy. If the Christian hesitates, they
beat him, and a few have been wounded with
Dwor'ds, though I think none seriously.
Yesterday a body of perhaps 1000 Khoords
came in. We watched them with our field
glass as they came down the mountain side,
and saw the crowd of city Turks who went
out to meet them. On arriving they proved
themselvesnvorse than all their predecessors.
Set on, doubtless, by the city Turks, they
knocked down and robbed any Christian who
came within their reach, and to-day they are
committing all sorts of depredations. It is
said they are to remain here several days and
wait for the rest of their party which is now
on the way.
For ourselves, we are unharmed so far,
and’not very apprehensive of personal harm.
A week ago yesterday I went to the city to
preach and was chased by some Khoords who
had probably never seen a but before and
thought: I must be a. Russian, sure. I found
some city Turks and waited for them to ex-
plain to my pursuers that I was “Englise”
and not: Russian. The governor sent. home
a police officer with me who has remained
ever since. Yesterday two more were sent
so that. now we have a guard of three police,
an armed Khoord from Billis, whom one of
my associates brought in the boat, besides
our servants and ourselves. As the govern
ment still has hope of help from England it
will doubtless do its best to ensure our safety,
especially as the English consul at Erzerum
has repeatedly written and telegraphed to the
paella here to look out for our safety and
comfort.
Mr. S. one of my associates, with his fam-
ily and the wife of Dr. R., my other asso-
ciate, was absent with the boat for two or
three weeks, leaving my family and Dr.‘ R.
alone at Van. He proposes going again in
a day or two, and this time we shall probably
send all the ladies and children along, while
Dr. R. and I bear our loneliness as resigned-
ly as possible. The plan is to have the boat
go to a Khoodish village near the other end
of the lake, which is occupied by slriekhs, or
rather the descendants of a shiekh, who are
regarded as holy inen and exempt from taxes
and military duty. Their village is difficult
of access, being surrounded on all but the
lake side by high mountains and the harbor
is poor. By drawing the boat out from shore
a little each night, or else going to the village
to sleep, it is hoped that the party will be
free from annoyance. The sheikhs are friend
ly, and held in honor by the surrronnding
Khoords. There are three islands in‘thc lake
occupied by Armenian monasteries which
would furnish asylums in case of need.
With kind regards to all our friends and a
request that the praying ones among them
will specially remember us and our works, I
am yours very truly, HENRY S. BAnxmr.
