his last ride.
The Local Improvement Association‘s an-
nual meeting was not largely attended. The
old officers were re-elected. The Treasurer’s
report showed a prosperous year; the receipts
having been $63937; expenditures $588,911,

one hundred shade trees were reported as hav-
ing been set out during the year.
The Costume Imitations, of W. H. Gillette,
proved to boom of the best entertainments
ever given in the new hall, but the audience
was small, and the venture a losing one. Mr.

view of the fact that a new railroad from the
first-named place to Danbury is being talked
of. Surveyors have been here with their iii-
struments, and they have been warmly wel-
comed by our citizens. With few excep-
tions our fellow-townsmen seem to be very
strongly in favor of the enterprise and very
anxious that it shall be carried through. We
learn thatch hundred signatures of those who

short time at New Preston, and hardly any

take when the Shepaug end was built in not
having it come here, and they have been con
scious of it since. They think they can,
in some measure, atone for that mistake by
favoring the present plan, and, as we have in-
timated, they are almost a unit in doing so.

tively determined upon, but it is probable that
a few days will decidethe matter.

WESTPORT. '
Last week'gave us the hotcstI weather of
the summer. Much rain came with the heat.
Mr. A. B. Taylor, of printing press fame,
formerly of Westport, was here a day or two
since making, as is believed, the preliminary
arrangements for a fall campaign against
black-fish. As an expert with the line, he
has come to the conclusion that August is a
chance to equal Jelliff ’5 seven pounder is in
September after the first frost.

tion, and the great $115 cane.
“ lk Marvel” was in Westport again last
week. .
A gentlemen of wealth from Long Island,
and an observer of progress every wherein
his travels, remarked while here last week
that there was more building going on in
Westport now, than in any town of its size
in New England he had visited. This corrob-
orates the recent statement of Mr. H. Staples
the veteran lumber dealer,to the effect that he
unloaded more lumber and materials at his
yards, supplied more contractors, and did a
larger trade with surrounding towns than any
merchant hercabout.
Off Southport. this (Tuesday) afternoon,
weather favoring, there is to be a contest for
a basket of champaigne,bctween Capt, Wake-
man Mcekcr’s well known pleasure boat, of '

The new desks for “Shererow” school house
are ready to be placed in position. The in-
ventor of the desk is a Westport man, now
in Chicago,and they are acredit to his invent-
ive genius. When the furniture and walls
are completed “Shercrow” will be the best

The Connecticut Militia.
The Army and Naoy'Jom'nal, which has
recently been discussing militia systems, says:
The real troubles in the militia of every
state of the Union are the want of proper up-
propriations, the misapplication of what
money is spent, and the intrusion of politics
into the management of affairs. The only
state in the Union which has an approx-
imately perfect militia system is the
state of Connecticut, and even that is still far
from perfect. Massachusetts comes next in
many respects, but it is inferior to Connecti-
cut for the present, for a simple reason. Con-
necticut has had two successive adjutant gen-
erals who are graduates of the United States
military academy,- while Massachusetts has
kept such of her graduates as have taken ser-
vice in the militia in surbordinate positions.
When it possesses the some advantages as-
Conneeticut there is little doubt that the Mas-
sachusetts militia can be brought to the same
state of discipline. The men already excel
the Connecticut troops in numbers, and,
thanks to the influence of a single officer of
the inspector general’s department, who is a
West Pointer, the regiments have improved
wonderfully within a year past. The next
state in the rank of efficiency is New York.
and since the late suppression of riots in the
state by the uselof the state troops alone the
impression has been Widely disseminated that
the New York system is apcrfect one. Nev-
er was an impression more utterly unfounded.
The'militia system of New Yrok is far below
that of either Connecticut or Massachusetts
as a system, and it is very fortunate that it
was not severely tested'last month.

awaking from a quiet night’s repose.
' It isthe general observation that Saratoga
never looked better than the present season,
while the number of visitors for the past
week is judged to be equal to that of former
years. Already a goodly delegation have re-
ported from Norwalk.
Rev. B. N. Dunning, Capt. Jas. Russell
and family, Mrs. George Benedict and Miss
Gussie Benedict, have - just left for home.
Mayor Ely of the city of South Norwalk is
here and stopping at the United States. It is
said that Mayor Ely of New York is. also a
guest at the same hotel, and that an amusing
comedy of errors has been the result, and that
as one is a bachelor and the other a widower,
seine notes have miscarried, oecasioning much
harmless gossip and amusement.
From your village there have been quite a
delegation. Mr. Lewis J. Curtis has just left
after a protracted. sojourn, transformed from
a. very great invalid to acomfortable degree of
health through the influence of the dry elec-
tric air, and the more potent operation of the
medicinal springs, so that he heartily adopts
the language of Dr. Cuyler, “Thanks to Him
Who brews these marvellous fountains of
health in their secret chambers, for these also
come forth from the Lord of hosts who is
excellent in council and wonderful in work-
ing."
During the present week, Mr. Matthew
Bird andeife have been registered at the
Clarendon, the most attractive and liomeJike;
Miss Julia Lockwook, E. Chichester and Miss
M. E. Chiehester at the United States, the
most aristocratic; Geo. I. and John F. Bux-
ton, at the Adolphi, a. new claimant for ‘pa-
tronage, which its location and excellent ap-
pointments amply merit; Geo. Rf Cowles
far led all others at least in the number of its
guests. John H. Hoyt and wife spent 'Tues-
day in Saratoga, and to-day Henry Price
and W. E. Lockwood arrived.
The new Windsor has not been opened this
year save to, lodge the overflow from the
Grand Union; Mrs. A. T. Stewart having
refused the sum of .five thousand dollars
which was all that was offered for its rental.
It is evident that the smaller hotels and
boarding houses have been better patronized
than formerly, owing to the very commenda-
ble desire to economize without really cur-
tailing any of the actual comforts of living.
The water of the Springs seem unusually
clear and sparkling with gases, while their
medicinal virtues have recently been attested
in remarkable cures.
Of the many springs which abound in Sar-
atoga, the Geyser or Spouting Spring contin-
ues to be one of the leading attractions,while
its medicinal and remedial virtues continue
unimpaired.
The other springs Of acknowledged merit
are the Kbsz‘ngin and Vichy, which are rapid-
ly coming into notice and rivaling the cele-
brated Vichy waters of France, as they con-
tain so prominently the biearbonates of soda,
lythia, magnesia and lime ; of that other
spring in the village,the Hathorn, is undoubt-
edly the greatest favorite, and the crowds
who gather every morning, drinking from
one to four glasses each, are numbered by the
thousands; while the Washington Spring
claims the honor of being the most largely
patronized in the evening, and. to such an ex-
tent that they are fortunate who are able,
after patient waiting, to obtain the refresh-
ing glass. »
In addition to the great attractiveness of
these Springs as a'mcans of health, there are
many events likely to draw a multitude hith-
er before the close of the season. The cele-
bration of the Saratoga’Centennial, commem-
orating the surrender of Gen. Burgoyne,
promises to be in no wise second in' import-
ance and grandeur to that of Bennington,
last week. .
The patriotism of Albany, Troy and N orth-
ern New York, will beadequate to give the
event a memorial wOrthy 'of the occasion.
For at Bemis’ Heights, a few miles distant,
the chief fighting in ’the battle of Saratoga
took place, called “one of the fifteen decisive
banks of the world." Indeed, it may be said
that American independence was as nearly
secured at Schuylerville and Bemis’ Heights
as the overthrow of the Rebellion was at
Gettysburg. Already preparations are being
made on a scale befitting the importance of
the events they will commemorate. ' *.
MY DEARBi—Up the Shepaug again as
far as Roxbnry, and Pat says, “What do they
call- it Rocks bun-ted for? Sure the stones are
not all buried, by a good sight 1 ” Well, Pat
was right, but our friend Mower is trying his
best (with a half-score of men,) to bring them
out, at his two quarries. I left Norwalk at
4:30 p. m. on Tuesday afternoon, by invita-
tion of Mr. Mower, in which he says: “I
have read your letter in the Gazette, and beg
to say that you have not told half the beau-
ties of the Shepaug Valley, and if you will
come up and spend a day with me I will
show you views that cannot be surpassed.”
So here I am and fully realize alland Mower
than I anticipated, and you may be sure I» did
not go empty-handed. The fisherman with
his rod, or the hunter with his gun, could
not go off with more pleasure than I did with
my camera and box of plates. At 0:30 the
train swung around the high ledge of rock
to the left of Roxbury Falls, while on the
right, far down below the track, rushed the
seething, boiling water through its narrow,-
rocky gorge, and through innumerable, holes
in the reeks,the view was so grand and bean-
tiful that I felt like pulling the bell rope to
stop the train, as this is only a flag station—
but away to Roxbury Station three miles
above. Here I found my friend and supper
waiting, andas early to rise was the order of
tomorrow, we went early to bed. But alas,
the mom brought clouds and rain, but we
improved the time, thanks to the rubber man
and a covered wagon, and over the hill we go
to quarry No. 1, on Mine Hill, (called Mine
Hill from the fact that there is a valuable
iron mine in thehill, owned by a company in
Hartford, but at present not worked.) From
the looks of the road near the top one would
suppose that in olden times the giants had
been playing Jack Straws and left them lying
around loose. But here we are at the quar-
ry, and it reminds one of the steps of the
Capitol at Washington, supposing them to be
of unequal thickness. That is one of the pe-
culiar and valuable features of this quarry.
The stone is in layers varying from one to
one hundred inches in thickness, each layer
has a smooth face top and, bottom, and for
most purposes for which it is used the sur-
face is sufficiently smooth without working,
it also splits nicely, and all the blasting nec-
essary is to separate large masses from the
main rock. The stone from this quarry is
taken down hill on immense sledges ‘ drawn
by oxen. Quarry No. 2 ison the eastern face
of Mine Hill near the Shepaug Railroad, from
which they have a side track, and by means
of a derrick with horse power, immense
stones, (such as are used for covering vaults,
for sidewalks, engine bodies, etc.) are hoist-
ed with the greatest ease. Thursday morn-
ing opened a little more favorable for pho-
tography, and during the day was enabled to
get a few views of the scenery in this remark-
able region. Mr. Mower has opened a road
on the southern front of his stone mountain,
(for it seems like a mountain, and hill is to
tame an expression). This road overlooks a
love of a valley with the Shepaug river wind-
ing through it, and on either side beautifully
wooded hills, and looking like a. thread (from
this height) the Shepaug railroad stretched far
away and is lost in Sugar Loaf Mouiitain,
filling the centre of our picture. Oh! for the
power of a Church, or Cropscy to convey
this to canvass, as a photograph gives only
black and white. But Ipass on to another
picture.' In the woods back of quarry No.
2 are two large trees apparently growing on
a flat rock, no evidence of earth apparent;
non. if
there theystand erect. Mr. Mower tells me
and wife at the Grand Union, which has so .
he has traced roots of trees for over a hun-
dred feet through crevices -' in the rocks seek-
ing moisture and nourishment from the earth
at such distance. Owing to bad weather. I
.was obliged to leave with but few views, and
expect to return in September, thenI will
-tell more about this miserablc,‘stony ecuntry,
and more about Mower, how badlyI was
treated, and how I want to go back again.
Yours as ever, E. T. WHITNEY.

Tlie Relief A ssbciation.
The Relief Association met at the Athenteum
on Tuesday evening. It was voted to hold a
meeting every Monday evening at the Athe-
naeum. The following constitution and by-
laws were read, adopted, and'ordcred print-
ed:—
PRINCIPLES AND OBJECTS or THE RELIEF ASSO-
CIATION or THE TOWN or NORWALK.
We wish it to be understood that the 'ob-
jeet of this association is the relief of the
worthy poor and destitute, and that the re-
cipients of its charity are not paupers, but
persons who, from hard times, and want of
employment, are in destitute circumstances.
- That this Association is organized ’for a
special purpose, and that its labors are specif-
ic. It seeks to do collectively just'what the
benevolent desire to do indivually: to aid
those of our townspeople who are unfortu-
nate, and as far as possible to relieve their
present necessities. We propose to be gov-
erned by the following rules :— .
1. To give relief only after a personal in-
vestigation, either by visitation or through.
inquiry. . .
2. To give only such articles as are imme-
diately necessary, and least susceptible of
misuse. .
3. To give assistance immediately, but. to
restrict relief according to the necessity which
calls for it.
4. To give no aid to any who manifest a
purpose to depend on aims rather than on
their own' exertions for support.
5. This Association is not intended to su-
persede the existing town charities. .
6. Our purpose is to help those who “‘1“
strive as far as they are able, to help them-
selves. _.

Grace Darling’s Herolsm.
Grace Darling, thcgaughter of the keeper
of one of the lighthouses upon the Fern Is-
lands, a perilous cluster of rocks off St. Abb’s
Head, was wakcned towards the morning of
the 6th of September, 1838, by shrieks of
distress, and when dawn came perceived the
remains of a wreck upon Longstone Island,
the outermost of the group. Grace awoke
her father and urged him to launch his boat
and go to the rescue of any one who might
still be alive in the stranded vessel, but the
tide was rising, wind and sea were wild, and
the old 'man hung back. Grace, however,
was sure she discerned a mcvement on the
wreck, as though living beings were still
there, and seizing an oar placed herself in the
boat, which she was well able to manage.
Her father could not let her go alone, and
they rowed off together in a tremendous sea,
encouraged by perceiving that nine persons
were still clinging to the forepart of the ship.
The father after many vain attempts succeed-
ed in landing on, the rock and making his
way to the wreck, while Grace rowed Off and
on among the breakers, dexterously guiding
her little boat, which but for her excellent
management would have been dashed to
pieces against the rocks.
One by one, with the utmost care and skill,
the nine survivors were placed in the boat
and carried to the lighthouse, where Grace
lodged, fed and nursed them for two whole
days before the storm abated enough for com-
munication with the mainland. One of them
was a lady whose two children of eleven .and -
eight years old had actually been buffeted to
death by the Waves while she held "them in
her arms, and who was so much injured her-
self that it was long before she, could leave
her bed. ' ‘ '
The vessel was the Forfarshire, a large
steamer plying between Hull and Dundee.
Her boilers had been out of order, their leak-
age had rendered the engines useless, and
when the storm arose the ship was unmanage-
able without her steam, and was driven help—
lessly upon ,the Fern Islands. The only boat
had been lowered by eight sailors, who were
pushing off in her when one gentleman rushed
upon deck, seized a rope, and swung'himself
in after them. These were picked up by a
sloop and saved. Of the others the whole
number had either been drowned in their
berths orI washed off the wreck, except fou
of the crew and five passengers, whom GraeF
Darling's valor had ' rescued. The entire
number of the lost was not known, but more
than forty had Certainly got on board at Hull.
Some sailors at Sundcrland Went out to the
wreck during the storm at the peril of their
lives, but found only corpses to bring away.
Grace’s noble conduct rang throughout Eng-
land, and every testimonial that could be of-
fered was sent to her. \Ve believe that this
brave girl soon after died of decline—Miss
Yonge‘s “Book of Golden Deeds.”
A Result of Obstructed Digestion.
Among the hurtful consequences of obstructed
digestion, is the impoverishment of the blood, and
since a dctcrtative cdndition of the vital fluid not
only [ii-ounces danger s organic-weakness, hilt,
according to the best medical authorities, some.-
tinies causes asphyxia, it i'sapparcnt that 'to im-
prove tlic quality of the blood by promoting di-
flotation and assinilatgon. is a wise precaution.
ostetter’s Stomach Bitters is precisely the reme-
dy fol-this purpo 9. since it stimulatesthe gastric ‘
juices, conquers’t osc billous and evacuative ir-
regularities which interfere with- the digestive
processes, promotes asSImilation of the food by
the blood, and panties as well asIenriches it. The
signs of improvement in health in consequence of
using the Bitters are speedily apparent in an ac-
cession of vigor, a. gain in bodily substance. and a
regular and active performance of every physical
function. 9'
