The Suffering Poor.
One of our leading physicians informs us
that the suffering from destitution and sick-
' ness among the poor of our town is both ap-
palling and unprecedented. The fatal chil-
dren diseases of diphtheria and scarlet fever
prevail to an alarming extent, particularly
’ among those‘ families whose heads have been
deprived-of the work which alone has hither-
- to supplied them with bread. The preva-
lence and spread of these disorders seem in
some way to increase in proportion to that
these poor families have been deprived of
proper food and comforts. The wide-spread
(Institution prevailing all over the civilized
world, seems to have given a terrible increase
and fatality to diseases, so that while our
town is no exception to the universal condi-
tion of the human family, it is such as calls
for the most prompt and vigorous help, both
as to succoring the famishing and inaugura-
ting ll gid sanifiu‘y measures. It. is a sad fact
to publish, but it IS a fact, that right here in
t‘hristian Norwalk there are scores of desti-
tute families, and hundreds of helpless child-
ren actually safer-lag for food! The select-
incn are appealed to and do, no doubt, all
they feel authorized to do, for the alleviation
of this unprecedented distress, but there are
many, many families, who have never called
upon the town for help and prefer death to
the fancied dcgrcdation. Our physicians fre-
quently meet such cases, and at no time in
our town’s history has this class of our bene-
factors been so oppressively assessed both for
medical attendanc and medicine as at' present.
No class so well I now those desrrving assist-
ance and who will perish unless it be offered,
and wcinvokc that our humane citizens whoarc
able, will supply them with such contributions
as they may feel disposed to give, to be by
our physicians disbursed to these worthy and
utterly - destitute poor in our midst. We
have had the terrible experience of a whole
family having been carried off by scarlet fe-
ver, simply because all had become so ex-
hausted for want of food that they fell an
easy prey to the fell disease. If private gen—
erosit y be not sufilcient to meet this appalling
demand, then a town meeting should be call-
ed and our physicians authorized as the
town‘s agents for affording such succor to the
f amishing as their professional knowledge
shows to be imperative. The picture is a
distressing one, but not exaggerated.
We have been favored for a week past,
with an exact ecunterpart of the cool and
delicious mifissnmmer atmosphere of Maine-
Tlierc will be little need of traveling abroad
this season, if such temperate breezes con—
tinue to blow. Despite the salubrious tem-
peraturc we are sorry to learn that an unusu-
al amount of sickness prevails among children
and especially among the children of the
poor. Destitntion, now so sadly and univer-
sally prevailing, seems to have greatly in—
creased diseases.
As yet there is no very startling news from
the seat of war in Europe. [11 Armenia for-
tune scems to have turned in favor of the
Turks, and the Russians have been forced to
give way somewhat, but are now apparently
able to hold their ground, and will probably
buglargely rc-cnforced. Mukhtar Pasha is at
Kai's with 40,000 men, and Gen. Melikoff at
Zairn, eight miles off, with 35,000. The
ltussians still hold Ardaban. On the Danube
all is excitement and expectation, but as yet
no decisive engagement has taken place.
Sunday School Excursion.
The large steamer Laura has been engaged
for the annual excursion of the Sabbath
Schools 'of the Congregational churches of
Norwalk and South Nor-walk. , She leaves
South Not-walk at S o’clock, Thursday morn-
ing, and if the day is pleasant will afford all
who go one of the most delightful excursions
of the season. IIcr objective point, this sea-
son, is Branford Point,‘a most lovely spot.
Wheeler and Wilson’s Band is to accompany
and every effort will be made to render the
trip one of exceptional interest and pleasure.
Although it is especially designed for the
Sabbath School the stcameris so roomy other
parties desiring to go will be welcomed, and
it is especially desired that the parents of the
Sabbath school children will accompany them
on the excursion. The price for adults is
but fifty cents, and for children under twelve,
twenty-five cents. We hope to see the boat
well-filled and the happy faces of all the
children made brighter by the companion-
ship of their parents and friends, who may
not be immediately connected with the
school. 1
Gen. Howard reports a sharp fight of seven
hours duration, on the Clear \Vater IVash-
ington Tcr. The Indians were completely
routed, with a loss of thirteen killed and
many wounded. » Gen. Howard’s loss scenls
to have been just about the same. The Geri-
cral says the Indians fought as well as any
troops he ever saw, and his own men also
fought well.

The sea-side and mountain hostlcries are
reasonably well filled with summer excursion-
ists, particularly those who have cut down
their aforetime high prices. But the quiet
country houses, where summer boarders are
taken, at. barely living rates, these are un-
pxeccdenledly full. Norwalk families might
and would have been glad to have furnished
accommodation for at least a thousand more
summer visitors at very reasonable rates,
could they have secured them. And they
might have secured these and more, had they
only bethought themselves and advertised in
season. i
An effort is being made to organize a . new
lrass Band in die Borough, to take the place
of the late City Band. A meeting was held
at; the store of Mr. L. \Veed, last Friday
evening, for this purpose, and another meet:
in” mi" h" “”"l next Friday evening, at thé
ompletc the organization. It
here is plenty of talent in this

The Portland steamer Eleanor, came in
collision early on Saturday morning, with‘
the schooner Mary of Dcnnysville, Me, when
off Norwalk light. The schooner was cut in
two admidships and sunk, and it is feared all,
hands were drowned, save one boy named
Preston. The Eleanor lowered her boats and
searched for an hour and a half, without
finding any orc' save Preston. The suppo-
sition is’t‘hat all hands were drawn down
villi the sinking schooner. '

A Trip Over the Midland.
If any of‘ our readers wish to enjoy a trip
of rare interest, and where wild scenery is
abundantly coupled with bracing mountain
air, let them take an excursion over the en—
tire line of the New Jersey and New Yerk
Midland Railroad. From New York to
Middletown, in the heart of rich and buttery
Orange County and the end of the New Jer-
scy Midland, the line extends through a
thickly settled and richly populated region.
It is studded with thriving manufacturing
towns and villages, and tecms with fertile
farms on every side. The scenery is far more
wild and charming than anythin be seen
on the Erie, and the promise: of. al busi-
ness to the new road better assured than on
its older rival. Any business man, with half
an eye, can readily see that the portion of
the Midland lying between New York and
Middletown, is as sure to become alargely
rcmuucrativc piece of railroad property as
any in the country. Had it been construct-
ed at prices now ruling, it could as easily
pay ten per cent. on its cost as any road in
the country. As large amounts of this stock
is held hcrcabouts, our advice is to continue
to hold it, and not slaughter it in this present
time of universal depression. We firmly be-
lieve it will grow to a par. and a premium at
no very distant day. It now seems to be
wisely, closely and most economically man-
aged, aud the amount; of its local business, in
freight and passengers, is steadily growing,
and is indeed now enormous.
From Middletown west, commences a se-
rics of wild and enchanting views that can
no where be excelled on this end of the
American continent. Au immense tunnel
bores through the mountain just as you enter
upon thclinc of the New York and Oswego
branch. ~Emerging from this the eye rests
upon luxuriant harvest fields, green meadows
and rich pastures dotted over by countless
herds of milk and butter giving kine. Moun-
tain peaks gleaming in sunshine and shaded
villages delight the vision, until the traveler
almost fancies the fertility of Southern
France has been upheavcd and spread out
over the Alps. Soon, however, you pass out
of old Orange into and through Sullivan
counties. and then, a sparser pbpulation and
still wilder and more rugged natural features
greet the vision. If the central portions of
the Eric traverse the Switzerland of America,-
what should describe the wild wicrd and al-
most fantastic views constantly spinning to
view in varied succession. Herc skipping
from mountain side to crest, beside some,
rocky gorge, then whirling through primeval
forests of pines, oaks, and licmloeks, where
even now the deer and black bear f‘most do
congregate.” For a full half day we were favor-
ed with a seat beside the engineer in the ca-
booscvof his engine, and drank this indescrib-
ably wild scenery with a zest. and thrill of
enjoyment no words can express. As we
reached the endof the completed line at
night,“ two thoughts were uppermost in our
minds—“How could any one ever havc‘had
the courage to lay out and build a railroad
through such a wild and rugged region, and
how can any one, having the time, fail to
make at least one daylight trip through it ?”
The Adirondack regions are tame beside it,
and we most urgently advise all who enjoy a
a summer trip through regions superbly
wildrto make this excursion. It is cheap
and delightful, and nothing this side of the
chaotic Sierra Nevadas surpasses its rugged
scenery. Yes, make the excursion, and en-
joy il, :15 yen cannot help to do, unless, un-
luckily, you have by a purchase of its stock
helped to build the grandly charming, but so
far woefully,unremunerative road..

The Methodist Excursion.
The Methodist churches of the Borough
and City are completing their arrangements
for their annual midsummer excursion, and
the programme is a rich one. The Point of
destination is Branford, just east of the
City. of Elms, a very popular resort jut-
ting out into the Sound. The beat selected is
the Laura, which is very commodious, and
with which the people of this vicinity are
already familiar. A band of Music will ac-
company the part-y, and good vocal music is
also promised. Plenty of scats,——scarce.last
ycar,—-—arc also promised, and refreshmenls
for those who do not care totake prévisions.
The fare for‘thc round trip will be only fifty
cents, which is certainly low enough. A good
time may confidently be expected.
Mr. Charles ’1‘. Leonard has started for Col-
orado, with his wife and daughter. ‘ He will
remain there long enough to see, them com-

is probably the finest and best gentleman’s

Therehre many places in the city prover-
bial for their influence for good or evil, and
many of them will be long remembered as
places where'are concocted and hatched the
most pernicious measures for the abrogation
of law, or. the strethliing of its. provisions ,to
meet certain emergencies. It seems to be at.
these places that matters are arranged for the
council, and'thc result is as well known be-
forc'as after its action. Bills are discussed
and their payment decided upon, whether
legally due or not does not matter. Resolu-
tions are ordered drawn up by the attorney,
to suit the whims of some one or two, which
are known to be in conflict with the laws and
ordinances. This pernicious influence was
seen at the last meeting of the board of
councilmen, and resulted in an outrage on
the members of the police force, who have
never been accused of wrong doing. The
whole force was disbanded from noon of
yesterday (Monday).

The mistress of a most disorderly school in
Skowhegan, Mc.~, lost control of her scholars
one day last week, and allowed the naughty
boys to throw wads of paper and balls of clay
at the pretty girls. One of the girls finally
“reported" a. certain boy who was annoying
her with hot shots from a popgun. The
timid school-mistress sternly rcproved her
for tattling in school. The girl returned to
her seat. and her pcrsecutor, resuming mili-
tary operations and firing at long range
across the schoolroom, hit her in the face.
“If the teacher can't: lick you I can,” said
the pretty girl, and darting across the room
she struck him with a big book. dragged him
out of his seat, and beat him until he lay
on the floor blubbcring and begging for
mercy. . -

(The Memphis Appeal says of negro suf—
frage: “Our northern brethren have put the
stick into our hands, and we take infinite
pleasure in breaking their heads with it."
This frank avowal of the purposes of the
dominant minority in the south was not
needed. While they enjoy the increased rep-
resentation in congress and in the electoral
colleges, due to the extension of suffrage to
‘the emancipated race, they refuse the free ex-
ercise of the right on which the increase is
based, thus making negro suffrage work
against the ne_ recs. The only remedy is a
“solid south,’ insisting upon unreasonable
demands, and ruling the democratic party to
its purposes, may provoke a solid north in op-
position to them. Indications, are pointing
in this direction—Providence Journal.

Song ot'tlle Coal lIeaver.
llark! Listen to the sound of shovels,
Dollars are to be saved this year,
But those who have not the dollars
Must buy when coal is dear.
For $4 a ton, all who have money,
Can now fill full their bins,
. But those who have not the dollars,
V Why, that’s the penalty ~of their sins.
For a price so low ’tis said is in reach of all,
And every man who is a man
Must lay in his, coal this Fall.
And yet how many honest poor
In our once thrice happy land,
Cannot, the price of a ton of coal
With all their powers command.
, With some ’tis honest poverty,
And a trusting faith in God,
It‘s hard for them to go next Winter
Shivering around with a bod.
Now to all who have money to spare,
Aye, to every generous soul, ‘
Say, cannot we raise the dollars, .
And buy a cargo of coal,
To distribute around among the poor
VWho have a trusting faith in God,
That they may not go shivering around,
To buy their coal‘by the bod. .

Our ever genial friend Wm. Mullen, who
started out last spring with the finest potato
patch in town, became impatient of the ma-
rauding Colorado bug, whereupon he admin-
istered a thoroughly allopatbic dose of Paris
Green. It was a greater success than he an-
ticipated. It killed the voracious bug and
the potato vines also. How much better it
would have been to have kept on picking
them off and keeping “an honest count,” and
then consigning them where wicked demo-
crats finally perish.

Dosing.
There are a host of people who seem to
have little else to do but to‘ consider their
physical condition and administer doses for
ts mprovement; people who are positively
dissipated and intempcratc in their use of
medicines, and appear to think this world not;
so much a vale of tears as of drugs; people
to Whom a new prescription affords a delight
only equaled by that which a savant would
derive from the possession of a bone of the
extinct megatherium.
If they are in the least under the weather,
It never occurred to them ,to allow Nature to
work put her own salvation, but they take
their affairs into their own hands, and having
small acquaintance with her - processes, the
result resembles that of a novice attempting
the task of a superior, and making them the
more difficult for that superior to accOmplish.
One of the peculiar pleasures of such persons
consists in persuading others to try their!
methods of cure. The most delicate compli
ment you can pay them is to swallow some
nauseating mixture upon their recommenda-
tion, which all the while bears a. strong fami-
ly likeness to that of those who, with bad
complexions; assure you that soap is wholeg
some for the skin, or of, bald people who ex-
tol the virtue of certain washes which they
have employed; This art of dosing does not
interfere, however, with the usefulness of the
family physician, but rather supplies him
with practice by laying the foundation for
positive disease. The stomach, which has
been unrighteously corrected,
length; the nerves that have been too often
artificially soothed finally refuse to acknowl-
edge tlie power of the charmer ; the strength
engendered by stimulants proves but a broken
reed; appetites fortified by frequent tonies
surrender one day without reserve.
If the science of medicine itself is as yet
only experimental, must not amateur dosing,
beyond questiongbelong to the most objec-
tionable class of cmpiricisms 3—Hm-pe7"s Ba-

SEED WHEAT.
It is questionable if it; would pay
to purchase seed wheat'from a dis—
tance, at double. the ordinary market
price or even lessthan that, unless in
a. very small quantity and for an ex-
periment. It is not safe to risk enc’s
whole crop, by changing the seed
without; knowing exactly what you
are doing. The liner white wheats re-
quire richer soil than the hardicr red
wheuts, and the difference in the
market price will not warrant paying
much higher for the seed. It is not
so much to the seed as to the land,
that’we. are to look for better crops,'
and by selecting a good sample of
ordinary wheat free from weeds, at a
few cents above the market price,
one may do better than by paying a
double or treble price for other seed,
the only merit of which may be that
it comes from a distance and costs so
much. Clean selected seed is worth
25 cents a bushel above the regular
market price of the same variety.
TOP-DRESSING MEADOWS.
Anything in the shape of manure
or fertilizers is better than nothing.—
\Vell rotted fine manure is the best
application that can be made. Next
to that, is coarse fresh manure, decom-
posed woods’ earth, rotten chip dirt,
tanner's waste, or sweepings of vil-
lage streets. W'licrc refuse from
woolen factories, slaughter houses, or
:itv waste of all. kinds can be pro-
cured, these should be composted with
earth from the roadside'h, or bottoms
of dim-hes. and lime or wood ashes,
and utter remaining a month in the

It is Well to burrow up bare spots,
and sow some more grass seed upon
them. The earlier this can be done
the better for the meadow, as the
heavier ecating' of" fall growth that
:au be procured, the safer it will be

easily accounts for her defeat. Wood was so

Scusxcx’s Snx WEED TONIC.—Ill the atmos-
phere experienced here during the summer months
the lethargy produced by the heat takes away
the dqsirc for wholesome food, and frequent per-
spirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those
suffering from the effects of debilitating diseases.
in order to keep anaturnl healthful activity of the
system, we must resort to artificial means. For
this purpose Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is very ef-
fectual. A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dys-
pepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be perma-
nently cured by the drugs which are generally
employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic
inits nature is totally different from such drugs.
It; contains no corrosive minerals or acids; in fact:
it assists the" regular operations of nature and
supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature
so much resembles the gastric juice that it is al-
most identical with that fluid. The gastric juice
is the natural solvent which in a heal tliyccndition
of the body. causes the Tom] to be digested; and
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quan-
tizics, indigestion, with all its distressing symp-
toms, lollows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the
duty of the gastric juice when the latter is defici-
ent. Sehcnck’s Sea 'chd Tonic sold by all drug-
