CITY OF WEST NORWALKJI
At the annual meeting of the West Nor-
walk Christian Union Association held on
the evening of the 3d inst., Mr. Josiah Kel-
logg was elected President, R. Johnson, J r.
Secretary, and Roswell Reed, Treasurer of
the Board of Trustees, of the Union Chapel.
The Treasurers report was very satisfactory,
showing a credit‘balance and all bills paid.
Mrs Emily Benedict, and her sister Miss
Mary E. Street, have returned home from
their prolonged visit to distant cities.
There are a few weddings to take place
here this spring, and the calithumpian band
are preparing to give the usual serenades.
One of the parties wishes notice given that
they will not submit to any annoyance from
them, and parties, whoever they are who
join in disturbing the public peace, or in any
unwarranted demonstration of joy, to the
discomfort or disturbance of said parties,
will he proceeded against, and punished to
V the full extent of the law. It is hoped that
the lawless will be wise in time.
An alarm of fire was given on Friday
night, about 11 o’clock, which proved to
be the burning of Mr. Chauncy Street’s
extensive saw mill, situated on Five Mile
River. As Mr. Edward Mather was about
to retire, he discovered a bright, light in
the north-east, {and calling his brothebthey
took a view through the limbs of trees,
and concluding that it was the house or
barn of -Mr. Hitchcock, standing near the
mill, gave an alarm, and proceeded at once
toward the burning building, which prov-
ed to be the mill. The residents of our
city began to assemble, but -the fire had
gained such headway nothing could be
saved. There is a mystery about it, which
cannot be explained. An adz, the only
tool saved was found in the lot near the
mill, Which Mr. Street is sure was inside
the mill when he left at 6 o’clock p. m.
131s stated that a jug was also foundhear
the mill, which containe d kerosene or some
inflammable substance. When the Messrs.
Mather’s approached the mill, it seemed to
be burning at both ends and being about 90
feet long, it was‘ thought to be good evi-
dence of incendiary. origin, and taking all
circumstances into consideration. there is
no doubt upon that point. An incendiary
and midnight assassian should be classed
together, one being no better then the other,
Mr. Street’s loss is very heavy, as only a
small insurance was on the building.
WILTON.
Spring is near at hand. All will gladly
welcome its return after a dull cold winter.
After listening a few timesthc past year
to the music in the Episcopal church, con-
ducted by the “skilltful‘anist and choris-
ter,” Mr. J. Gregory, we cannot but express
the wish here that he may return, and with
his faithful boys, still direct the music. _
The writer has been in many Episcopal
churches, and has never heard more correct
time. The service in that church is indeed
beautiful, and appropriate music a very im-
portant part.
Easter is near. Cannot_ Mr. Gregory be
induced to repeat the music so unusually
well rendered on last Easter day. One who
happened to be present on that day, and
enjoyed the service. Sincerely_w1itten.

An examination'of Mr. E. II. Nash's
mill-dam which gave way partially last
week, shows that the cause of the same
originated in the use of two things
too many small stones introduced into the
foundations, or the employment of poor
cement. A cansal observer looking at the
break from the lower side of the dam would
unquestionably assign the cause to the form-
er. Countless small flat stones appear,
while ten feet above, are blocks weighing
a ton and a half;. In a region like this
where rocks and stones abound to such an
extent that owners know not what 'to do
with them, there is, no excuse for the erec-
tion of frail. structures. The people resid-
ing below'the dam on the line of its outlet
who fled from their houses when they
heard of the break fearing a second Will-
iamsburg devastation, will be glad to know
that the dam is to be rebuilt, and on such
correct principles of masonry as to warrant
the belief that it will endure as long as
the everlasting hills between, which it is to
rise; . ‘ ‘ .
The “Farmers Club” which now numbers
fifty-four members, met Monday evening
March 3d, at the house of Mr. Ebenezer
Adams. Mr. Iohn Guyer, essayist of the
evening, read a paper on the subject, “What
are the best breeds of cattle for farm work
and dairy purposes." After describing
Short-horns, Holsteins, Jerseys, Ayrshires,
Devons and Natives, and their respective
qualities, he added what may well be ac-
cepted by every friend of the dairy, _viz:
“We get the best products from the best
cows kept in the best manner. While we
can afford to keep a good cow well we can-
not afford to keep a poor one at any price.”
As showing the dairy interests in the coun-
try, a member, Mr. Jennings stated that
in the United States in 1870 there were
10,7 05,300 cows valued at $299.-
609,309,00. Mr. G. considered the
Devon the_best' breed for working cattle,
adding that the common red ox in use here
is nearly as good. If pleasant, the club will
meet this (Monday) evening at the house of
Joseph W.{Jennings. Subject for discussion,

A Quorum‘of the House.
One of the first questions to come up in
the Forty-sixth Congress will be as to what
constitutes a quorum Of the House. When
that body meets on the 18th instant there
will be six vacancies, four in California,
where there has been no election yet held
one in Texas, caused by the death of Mr.
Schleieher, who had been reelected, and
one in New .York, caused ‘by the death
of Mr. Smith, who died suddenly on the
night of the election in November last.
If the idea is maintained that amajorityjof
the whole number who may be elected is
required for a quorum, then 147 will con-
stitute a quorum; but if it is held that
only a majority of those actually competent
to occupy seats is required, .then 144 will be
necessary. Then again, comes in the ques-
tion whether cognizance can be taken of a
death of a member in advance of the official
communication of the fact.

Elihu Burritt.
Elihu Burritt, one of the best known Of
Connecticut’s scholars, and who had an
almost world-wide reputation as “The
Learned Blacksmith,” died at his home in
New Britain, Thursday night. Mr. Burritt
was born in New Britain (then a. part of
Berlin) December 8, 1811. His'father was
a shoemaker, and the boy had to depend on
the common 'country school of that early day
and his own unaided effort to attain the
dietinction to which he subsequently rose.
He was apprenticed at the age of sixteen to
a blacksmith, and in his acquisition Of the
.Hebrew and Greek languages he is said to
have pursued his studies by the light of his
forge, while at work at his trade, the open
book being placed before him. A desire to
read the Bible in the Hebrew and Greek first
led him into the study of languages, and
in that field he achieved his chief distinction.
He resided for several years at Worcester.
Mass, for the sake of the advantage afforded
by the library of the Antiquarian society
there. Later he became known here and
abroad by his advocacy, on the lecture plat-
form and with his pen, of peaceful methods
for the settlement of international difficulties,
and also of the abolition of negro slavery and
of the promotion of temperance reform. In
England, more than thirty years ago, he.
formed the “League of Universal Brother-
hood” for the abolition of war throughout the
world. In every peace congress he took a
prominent part. He was for several years
United States consul at Birmingham. His
published books include “Sparks from the
Anvil,” (London, 1848) ; “Miscellaneous
Writings,” (1850); “Olive Leaves,” (1853) ;-
"Thoughts and Things at Home and Abroad,"
(Boston, 1854); “A Walk from O’Groat’s to
Land’s-End,” (1865), and “Lecturers and
Speeches,” (1869). Mr. Burritt was never
married. He lived with his sister, Mrs.
Strickland, aquiet life, in harmony with the
simplicity of his character. His health has
been poor for along time, and' attacks Of
hemorrhage of the lungs have more than
gncedgiven warning that his days were num—
ere .

There is a list going about in the demo-
cratic newspapers, said to be of the men
whom Hayes paid for counting him in. In
it we read “J. R. Hawley, visiting'states-
man. La, commissioner to Paris exposition,
salary, $2,000." It is only necessary to say
that General Hawley was 'not commissioner
to Paris, and consequently did not receive
any salary. Another name in the list is J.
A. Garfield, who, it seems, was rewarded
by being "candidate” for speaker of the
democratic house. The list seems to be
very thin in spots, but if it is industriously
published long enough it may show that
Mr. Tilden is a disinterested patriot.—

General Thomas W. Sherman, U. S. A. is
lying very seriously ill of pneumonia at his
home in Newport. The general has been in
most respects a very remarkable man. He is
a native of Newport, and son of the late
Elisha Sherman, a respectable farmer who
resided on the island. The general is a Self—
made man, about the first example of his
independence being the manner in which he
got to West Point. He begged Of his father
to permit him tO enter the army, but being
refused left home, crossed over to the
Narragansett shore and tramped to New
York, in order that he might appear before
the Examining Board, his father having
refused to give him money to pay the fare.
General Sherman’s commission bears date
May 28, 1846, and a. year later he distinguish-
ed himself in the Mexican war. He was
made lieutenant colonel 5th artillery May 14,
1861; brigadicr general of volunteers May
18, 1861, and colonel of 3rd artillery June 1,
1863. During the war he lost a leg at Port
Hudson. being at that time a major general
under General Banks.

The negro is fast passing out of the labor
market. Hundreds and thousands through~
out‘ the South are settling upon the cheap
lands and working for themselves. Every
one of them who buys fifty acres of land no
longer contributes his strength to work the
broad and fertile acres of the white man.
He builds his cabin, opens his land, and,good
or bad crop, he is, at any rate, the acme of
African happiness. ’We would not deprive
him of one iota Of this pleasure of having
his own home, but, if ‘the white population
is going to stay here, the qhicker this labor
question is adjusted the better.—Baz‘nbridge

ordinarily be good news to the boot and

Remarkable Cure of Mrs. Mary John.
son, of North Gnlll‘oru, Conn.
This is to certify that f or the benefit of suffer-
ing humanity I Wish to make known to the pub-
lic the wonderful cure Dr. Fieke has made forme,
in order that others who are afllicted may place
themselves under his treatment and be benefitted
thereby. I havebecnfi great sufferer for years
with bronchial affection, lungs very weak and
loss. of voice. so that it seemed a. great cfl‘ort for
me to speak, and an all gone feeling in my atom-
ach and lungs which was so severe at times as to
prostrate me. I also had the liver complaint very
bad, and weakness or the nerves.and general de-
bility of the whole system. I was wakeful nights
and so weak that I was unable to work, and could
sit up only part 01 the time. I‘had tried quite a
number of physrcians 'f’rom time to time, with
little or no benefit, and after hearing of Dr. Fiske
I resolved to consult him. I did so. He describ-
ed my feelings exactly, and thought he could
cure me. I put myselfunder his treatment, and
am happy to say that his Magnetism and his Veg-
etable Medicmes have worked wonders for me,
for my lungs are now strong I have regained my
voice. and my nerves are shmg, and my whole
system has met with .a great change for the bet-
ter, and I now consider in self cured of all In
Old chronic and lingering e seases With which
have suffered so long. _Thc Doctor is a. pleasant
gentleman, skilled in his profession, and honora-
ble in all his dealings. His magnetic power for
the quick removal of all diseases is truly wonder-
ful, and with his pure vegetable medicines com-
bined, patients are cured after every other reme-
dy has been tried and failed. I do not speak of
the Doctor’s skill for myself alone, but bear wit-
ness to many other cures from a. large number of
patients with whom I have converscd during the
period of my treatment.

Gentlemen—I have' been from my youth a suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia, accompanied by severe at—
tacks of sick headache. lasting three or four days.
I have tried remediesinnumcrable but without ob-
taining any permanent benefit. Early this spring
I purchased a bottle of SULPHUR BITTERS;
before I had taken one bottle I began to feel the
good effects of it, and havingtaken three bottles
I find myself able to eat any fund 01 food without
being troubled with dyspepsia. I have had but
one attack of sick headache in that time and that
a very slight one. I gladly give this testimonial
in the hope that Others may be induced to save
themselves such suffering by taking the SUL-
PHUR. BITTERS. MRS. JOHN BARTON,

“I WANT EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD T0
KNO W 11‘.”
OAK Bunnies, Martha’s Vineyard, Sept. 1, 1877.
It is With a happy heart I write these few lines
to you, and I want everybody in the whole world
to know what your great SULPHUR BITTERS
have done for me. Fiitccn years ago I caught a
Violentcold riding in a rain storm. The nexn day
I was sick abed with the Typhoid fevcr,and upon
recovery from thatntwo large ulcers broke out,
one on each leg, which kept continually discharg-
ing. 1 have been attended by the best doctors in
the country and at the Bellevuc hos ital the doc-
tors wishcd to take one leg of. othing that I
took helped me, and. I made up my mind to die,
and did not care it 1 did. for a, more miserable be-
ing than I could not be. My face was covered
with blotches and scales. and my body with crun-
Ltions. I have been wheeled around for the past
six year and spent thousands Of dollars. Last
spring Dr. Spencer advised me to go to the sea-
shore, and perhaps the change would do me good
but to no purpose, as I rapidly grew worse, an
my wife and friends gave me up. On the first of
July Mr. Moorcvmted me and brought me a bot-
tle of your SULPHUR BITTERS for me to take ;
I tolilhim I would not, I had no faith in anything.
He was so persistent in his demands and my wife
also cntreatcd me.to try it, which I did, and to
my unbounded joy i_n a few days I began to feel
better, my appetite improved, and food began to
look good to me. My bowels began to get re u-
lar, a_tliing 1 had not known fpr 15 years. The
eruptions left my body, those disquieting ulcers
on my legs began to cease discharging and grow
smaller every day, and now. tlianksto a merciful
God, I am well. 1 can now_ walk three miles with-
out fatigue, and I have gained in weight twenty-
two pounds. My skin is smooth. 1 have taken
eight pottles, undone ulcer is perfectly cured and
the 0 her is rapidly closxng up, and is now no
larger than a. pen. May God’s blessinw rest on
you-and our wonderful SULPHUR BITTERS, is
