Presidential Tour.
The hurried trip of the Presidentiifl party
through New England, has no doubt produc-
ed a most happy effect upon the minds of the
p zople. 'Ihsse who have thus bi e l permitted
to meet President Hayes, have, as everybody
' must, become thoroughly convmced of his
unselfish and thorough sincerity Of purpose.
Modest, yet self-reliant,~hisface, speech, and
whole bearing, give amplcst assurance of his
honest nature. However much persons may
differ in judgment with him, all are forced
to concede to him, the most absolute integri-
ty in his own beliefs and full and generous
charity towards all who differ with him, so
that nothing was more common than to hear
democrats who had met him and who have
read his short and pithy speeches, remark.-
“Well, I am satisfied with Mr. Hayes for
President.” An earnest Connecticut demo-
crat, whom we met on the cars, last week,
went even farther than this and expressed his
unreserved thankfulness that by so marked a
Providential interposition, as that of his own
party electing Judge Davis Senator, they had
themselves defeated the election of Mr. Til-
den.
The impression made and left behind by
Judge and P. M. Gen. Key, the only south-
ern member of the Cabinet, accompanying
the party, was also most favorable and happy.
Large in head and heart as well as in body,
his brief addresses everywhere breathed a
spirit of love for the whole country and the
Constitution, and a sincere and honest rever-
ence for all its amendments. Would North-
ern and Southern men of character, visit and
inter-mingle with the citizens of Opposite sec-
tions of the country. the unwise and unintel-
ligent prejudices hitherto prevailing would
soon be obliterated and we should sooner be _
I happy and united people.-

Did poet ever dream of anything so su-
perbly beautiful a clear sunset amid the rain-
storm oi Sunday evening audthe enchanting
glories of the many-tinted clouds
“
Quite a numerous family of adults and
children left the New Haven train on Satur-
day last and passed up to Ridgefield to escape
the effects of “malarial fever," with which
the party had become inoculated while at a
down east summer resort. The healthfulncss
of old Ridgefield is unsurpassed and we have
been told of instances where the .victims of
hay fever have found instant relief from its
pure, cold breezes, which blow up from
Norwalk and the Sound.
”
The carpenters are now at work clapboard-
ing the octagonal portion Of the Congregation-
al steeple, so as to make the spire respired, as
Mrs. Partington would say, with the rest of
the edifice. A new shingle or slate roof, and
a stained glass window in the rear of the pul-
pit, have got‘to be provided for before the
elaborate work of renovation can be deemed
complete. There are leaks, dampness and
stains to the beautiful ceiling, in the old roof,
and no end of torture to the cultured eye in
the shocking pavilion painted in the pulpit's
rear; .
The copious rain of' Sunday‘ evening
washed the face of our Borouo streets in.
many places so clOse as to was e gravel
surfaces off and leave nothing but the bed-
rock and cobbles. Street repairers looked
upon the damage as serenely as an undertak-
er contemplates a cholera scourge.
Burr Smith, Esq., our new collector Of town
taxes has commenced sending out his “letters
missive” to the patriotic citizen who with such
cheerful alacrity, bleeds from the purse to
sustain the state and municipal government.
Taxes are as ine itablc as death, and “ hard
times” furnish no relief from the one more
than the other.
Rev. Mr. Hamilton unexpectedly returned
Saturday evening and occupied the pulpit of
the First Baptist church on Sunday. He had
expected to exchange with Rev. Mr. Merwin
Of Wilton, but the latter gentleman was un'
able to fulfill the engagement. . ‘
=——_—__——
Senator Morton, who is afflicted with the
same disease that terminated the life- Of our
own Senator Ferry, is now lying alarmingly
ill at his home in Indiana. It is devoutly to
be hoped that the great Senator’s life and ser-
vices may yet be prolonged to his country.
===f=
A near and dear relative of our Mayor Ely,
who delights in calling him Furgison, has
explained to us, how he came to be involved
in such aperplexing complication in regard to
his “letters missiv; ” with Mayor Ely Of New
'ork. It seems that Gotham’s bachelor Ma-
yor had several widow correspondents, while
our ante-benedictine Mayor eorres ents
were all young and fair and in their virgini
ty. As soon as the mixed state of mail re-
ceipts became apparent, it is said the two Ma-
yors had as much perplexity in asserting their
letters as usually attends a morning separa-
tion of stockings ataFourierite establishment.
Both Mayors have resolved on taking a new
hotel at their next visit to Saratoga, and here-
‘ in hes another peril, as it involves the possi-
bility of their both getting domiciled at the
Same hotel again. ‘ ‘
The difficulty between W. E. Dann and the
proprietors of the Norwalk Hotel property,
has been settled by the arbitrators, Messrs. S.
E. Olmstead, David ’M. Platt and Geo. E.
Miller. By this settlement Mr.‘ Dunn is to
purchase a strip of land adjoining his place,
28 front and rear, paying therefor $875—a
priceless than Mr. Dann had offered, and un-
satisfactory to the owners, who value it more
highly. The sellers are to remove the walls
now standing thereon. The barn will now be
erected on the new line.
The very severe storm Of Sunday after-
noon, seems to have been concentrated over
Norwalk. Up Main street the lightning
struck four or five times in a very limited
space, doing little or no damage, however.
Once, “a red ball of fire as big as a man’s hat,”
—as described by an eye witness,-—-exploded
in Mrs. W. L. Quintard's yard, and soon af-
ter another bolt struck the piazza of Mr. Geo.
Holmes’ residence. The rain came down in
torrents. ’ L
U. S. Bank Commissioner Mygatt has got
after friend Turrell again, the ex-treasurer of
the New Milford Savings Bank. A two and-
a-half column article in the Ray, from the
trenchant pen of Mygatt, clearly shows that
Turrell mistook his vocation in conducting.
a mere savings bank. Such marvelous finan-
cial capabilities should have stopped at noth-
ing short of a hfe insurance company. . '

The Eighth annual reunion of Companies
I, B and Band, will be held at the Wooster
House, Danbury, Conn., on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 12th, 1877. The exercises will con-
clude with a grand “Hop” in the evening,free
to members. '

City Expressman Benedict bad a narrow
escape at South Norwalk yesterday morning.
He was struck by the Danbury train and for-
tunately pushed to One side, getting off with
bruises instead of a crushing.

Worshipers‘ at the Baptist church com-
plain that a near-by piano rattles off “Pop
goes thc‘wcasel,” “Lanigan’s Ball,” “Finni-
gan’s Wake,” and the like cheerful airs, dur-
ing their church service. The instrument
' must be one of the “Seven Day Baptist" kind
or else the agile performer is operating with a
last year‘s almanac.

At Camp Hubbard, abseilc’c fromeither roll

or many men would not average ninety cents
per day.

Major Gen. Couchpasstate.Quartermas‘.er,
erected the tents for the ‘ngeek’s encampment
as a school Of instruction, and yesterday mor-
‘ning turned all the state’s property over to
Brig. Gen. Wm. R. Sr'nith, as commander of
the forces. Wednesday evening, the Dress
Parade will be by Regiments. . This Tuesday
and Thursday evenings there will be Brigade
Dress Parades which the public will find es-
pecially interesting. No teams will be per-.
mitted on_the grounds except by special pass
from the commanding general.
There will be many distinguished military
visitors hcrc frOm abroad, and-in addition to
the cxcurslo In New Haven, there is a
rumor that O f the crack New York com-
panies arc to visit the camp by steamer, dur-
ing the week. a
To the locker on,'all this parade and sham
circumstance of war,~looks like boy‘s play Or
a picnic frolic. Not so‘ to' the men under
drill. This meeting “means business” to them
and no more severe and rigid discipline and
drilling and schooling, would be required,
The various companies comprising the
Brigade, arrived at South N orwalk yesterday
morning,and proceeded immediately to Camp,
where everything was in order for their re-
ception. The Camp presents a fine appear-

The Clam Bake.
The Fat Man’s Clam Bake more off at
Gregory’s Point, on Thursday last, and seems
to have been quite successful, although not
attracting as many spectators as usual.
Many familiar faces and forms were seen
and some men seemed proud of weigh-
ing more this season than- ever before.
Mr“. Perkins, of Waterbury, was the heaviest
weight, turning the beam at 399—.the possi-
bilities of his future are fearful to contemplate.
Pat. Murphy, of Saugatuck,‘ was rc-elected
President. The steamer Josephine brought
up an excursion party from N ew York. The
bake seems to have given general satisfaction.

First Congregational Church. '
The First Congregational church edifice
which has been closed for repairs since last
J one, will again be open to the public on the
second Sunday in September. It is expected
by that time that all repairs, both to the rin-
terior and exterior, will be fully completed,
and the building ready for occupancy. The
repairsaave been quite elaborate, and radical
changes have been made in the - interior, Of
which we shall speak when the workmen
have completed their work. The First Bap-
tional Society, until the return or their pa;-

EDITORS Gazam :—Following is a brief
statement of the work done on the organ of
the First Congregational Church :— .
In, the matter of repairs, the damage done
by water has been corrected,(a long and te-
dious job) all the wind connections tightened
the large and heavy-arch inside the case .has
.. beenremoved, making the opening for sound
. about 4 feet wider and 5 feet higher.
In or-
der to do this, it was necessary to take down
almost the entire instrument, to prevent in-
jury to the pipes byplastcr 'dust. The -old
" fashioned Swell shades have been removed,
and vertical shades ‘have been substituted,
making the more modern “balanced swell.”
The pedals have been raised 3 inches, con-
forming to the late arrangement. The water
engines have been removed to the front of
the church, relieving thevestibule from the
boxes necessary to enclose the rods. As to
the pipes, a new Open Diapason, Great organ,
has been substituted for the former one; and
. the Trumpet and Clarinet have been re;voiced
and much improved. No other changes
have been made, but the removal of the ob-~
structions, the arch and the old Swell shades,
allows so much more of the pOWer of the in-
strument and of the chambter of the tone to
be heard, that it seems really'as some have
expressed it, like a new organ. .

17th Ct. Vols. lie-union".
. As announced in the Gazelle of August 7th,
owing to the hard times and other untoward
circumstances, the famous 17th Ct. ‘Veterans
have decided to postpone their annual re-un-
ion this year, which had been arranged to
convene at Bridgeport. We are sorry for
this, for the re-unions of the brave boys of
our County Regiment have come to be more
, thought of and desired than any other similar
' ‘event of the year.
Hitherto their anniversary
gatherings have been large, and while a goodly
number would no doubt have met this year,
it was deemed best to postpone it another
year, hoping thahll‘ might be be'ttcr circum-
stanced; so‘long asthe clam-banks and bakes
of old Norwalk hold _out, the boys will ever
find a welcome here.

BAsa BALL—0n Tuesday .last the Inde-
pendents played the Stowes, of Meridcn, on
the Fair Grounds. There was a good attend-
ance of spectators. The clubs were well
matched, and the contest close, but the game
did not proves gpecially brilliant-one. Banks
made a fine double plily, catching a high fly
and putting out, striker and man. running
back to first base. L.Joe Cousins made a rare .
catch,‘ running like the wind under 'the ball
with back to striker, and taking it beautiful-
ly. The Stowes were a fine looking set of
men, and made a good impression.

. It still a mooted question whether our Po-
lice have any exclusive- rights in the City,
which constables should-respect. On Mon-
, dayfiof last week about steamboat time, one
‘Of the most desperate fights ever known here,
t50k place on Rail Road -threc corners, our
Police were at the steamboat, and Constable
Dayton was called upon to quell the disturb-
ance and arrest the combatants, which he
did with the aid Of Hartwick and TollesnThc
pugnacious gentlemen were from Bridgeport,
and were very anxious to go home. :80 the
constable being kindly disposed, laid the mat-
ter before grand juror Tolles, who called up-
on J udgc Gildings to draw up the papers and
prosecute, on behalf of the state. ‘ The pris-
oners were brought before J udgc Craw, one
pleaded guilty and the other was proved guil-
ty. Both were fined. All of this was done
without the aid of the police or City attorney
and it is believed without consulting with
the Mayor. _ Neither does the city treasury
recieve any of the fines. When will this con-
flict of authority end ?
Grand juryman R. I. Tolles has taken the
agency of a new make of Sewing Machines.
Robert has an ‘ 0 business, but it is rumored
that he has and purchased a farm in

Rev. Mr. Davenport occupied the pulpit of

Messrs. Seymour, Adams and Wheeler from

Few things are more quickly resented by
the good people than an intimation, however
carefully made, that improvements are need-
ed in them, or in their mode of government.
Such hasbeenour experience, especially in
regard to the City. As it has nowbeen pub-
licly and perhaps dismay/announced that an-
other candidate in the person of our acting
Mayor, is to be put forward for the honors
of that position, it may be well to state that
under the new charter, two candidates polit-
ically opposed, will be put in nomin'ation,and
yet the great leaders of the democracy are
discussing-the propriety 'of ignoring: politics,
and making a “citizen’s ticket" for the avow-
ed purposc of defeating Mayor Ely. Finding
no best men to put forward of their own par-
ty, they will attempt to nominate republicans
as before. Neither‘the Colonel nor Mayor
Ely arc aspirants for that office, possiblg
when the time comes one of them may be
nominated, and then will be seen how pow-
erful is the organization» to ignore politics,
worth, and efficiency. The people are think-
ing, and will decide who is worthy, and who
they will have to cOnduct the affairs of the
City. If a change is needed it will be made
by 'the voters only.

Thc Neptune Club arrived home last Sat-

Norwalk nearly as hard as it did when they
left. They Teport having enjchd a delight-
ful excursion. ‘
A correspondent of the New Bedford Even-
ing Standard, Of Monday, Aug. 20th, speaks
of the doings of the Club as follows :—
' Schooner JOhn C. Reed, which left Nor-
walk, Ct., last Monday, with the Neptune
yacht club on board, arrived here Thursday
at 1:10 p. m. The club held a rece tion on
board Saturday. Commodore Tomp ins was
the first to welcome the guestsas they arrived
from the small yacht, which was, kept con-
stantlylbusy for-four hours conveying them
from the wharf to the yacht of the club. The
guests were very cordially rbceived, by each
member of the club, and with unusual polite-
ness shown the mode of living while on their
-
summer cruise; very generously treated to a -
nice collation, and entertained with fine mu-
sic. Miss Kate'K: Fowler laycd and sang
the piece named “Esmeral *" and received
an encore from the guests ahead. The tyaclt
made a fine a pcarance as she was pro usely
bedecked wit ensigns and small flags which
numbered over seventy. Gen. McClellan was
expected on board but circumstances hap-
pening to prevent, his re ets were very rc—
uetantl received. Dr. ' H. Tiffau With
party, . C. Brown,~Esq.,'C. W. Fiel , Esq.,
and Chief Of Police Marsh, of . Bridgeport,
were among the large number of InVItcd
guests to the rece tion. Mr. Hotchklss,
President of the Bri geport Bank, gave the
'club and its many friends, a very entertain-
in and somewhat Spicy speech. .
any very appropriate and Ian liable hits
did the members and their finely .ressed‘and
fair looking wives receive from him. Lom-
Inodore Tompkins receives a large share, and
by most of the members thought .too large
for their interest, of the honors bestOWed
upon the club. During the reception, the
Commodore was by many ‘Of the guests taken

he appear in his gilded uniform; _ Mrs. .o -
modore Tompkins filled her enVIed much
with ease and grace. Several of the club
have their wives with them, prominent among
whom I notice Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Kee-
ler. Mr. Nash is with the club this season
and his favorite little dog is the pet of the
yacht. Hundreds were present at the recep-
tion, one hundred and thirty of whom reg-
istered their names. .Monday, the annual
prize is to be offered for the fishlng excur-
sion—a gold piece will be given to- the mem-
ber catching the largest number of fish. The
members are calle together morning and
evening for devotions. On Thursday at_ one
o’clock, a. m., they will leave, sailing direct
for home, Norwalk, Conm The only. regret
their Vineyard friends have is that their stay,
which is always more than pleasant, Will nee.
cssarily prove so short. . The members of the
club are very highly gratified at their recep-
tion upon the grounds and especially do they
feel indebted to Mr. John S. Fuller, who by
placing a cottage at their disposal,.has added
greatly to their enjoyment while ashore. .
Old' Sermons. ‘
We published on the outside -Of last week’s
GAzn'I'rn, the interesting incident of Rev.
Peter Lockwood having recently preached a
sermon in the First Presbyterian Church at
Binghamton, that he had preached there fifty
yea/r0 previous. Rev. Mr. Lockwood was a
native oi this town and is a cousin of canes-
teemed fellow citizen, Wm. S. Lockwood,
Esq. .From‘Mr.1Wm. S. Lockwood we 'hav'c
a bit of local church history,cven more re- '
markable in some respects than that connect-
ed with thc,‘ Binghamton church, although.
strikingly similar in the main event. .
Rev. Dr. Hezekiah Ripley, D._ D., of '
Greens Farms, was, during Rev. Mr. Swan’s
pastorate of ourFirst Congregational Church,
invited to preach here. At the' close of the
Doctor’s sermon, and on his passing out of
the old church on the Green, he was accosted
_by “Aunt Phoebe Comstock” with the ques-
tion : “Doctor,do you keep a record Of where
and when you preach your sermons i" “Yes
I do,” promptly responded the Doctor.
“Then I think you’ll find you preached this-
same sermon here furl fifty years ago to-day.”
“Well,” pleasantly replied the Rev. Dr., "I
know you have a very remarkable memory,
Aunt Phoebe, but this, time I think you are
mistaken, as I see no such record made on
the sermon, and as there certainly would have
been had I ever preached it here before.”
“Oh, I know I’ve heard it before, Doctor, and
’pears to me certain, it was just fifty years
ago this very Sabbath day, I heard you preach
it here," replied Aunt Phoebe, with entire.
pcsltlveness. “Well, let us be sure about '
this matter,” said the old Doctor, and pull-
ing down his great Ox-bow specs from his
massive forehead, he began to scan the back
of the ancient roll of manuscript, when sure,
enough, in lines almost obliterated he 1IOund

vious to that very day! The Doctor remark-
ed, as he walked from the church—“Well,
Norwalk is a dangerous place to come to to
preach old semions.” '

One very simple process is: At any drug-

glass, all the pieces should be'the same
size, and with spring clothes-pins fasten
them to ether.

fall on it as nearly perpendicular as pos-

hour to several hours to produce a good

take It from the frame and putit in clear
water, which must be changed every few
minutes till the yellow part becomes per-
fectly white. Sometimes the venom
of the leaves will be quite distinct. By
following these directions it is scarcely
possible to fail, and a little practice will

MANY who are suffering from the effects of the
warm weather and are debilitated, are advised by
physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky
two or three times during the day. In a little
while those who adopt this advice frequently in-
crease the number of “drinks,” and in time be-
come confirmed incbriates.” A‘ beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors, and
which is intended especially for the benefit of de-
bilitatcd persons, whether at home or abroad, is
