Improvement.
One of the most delightful improvements
that greets and gratifies the eye, on West

Good Fishing.
Like the late Mr. Grdeley we had “waited
more than twenty-five years for a leisure
Satuyday afternoon to go a. fishing.” But
last Saturday p. m., our hour of long expect~
ed relaxation arrived, and placing ourselves
in the safe and experienced care of Mr. Fred.
Comstock, of the Norwalk Light, we anchor-
ed across the harbor channel, dropped hook
and sinker for flat fish or flounder. In about
two hours of fishing we had covered our
boat’s bottom planks with a flopping mass of
the soughbfor fish. With more than we
could carry home,or indeed bestow on friends,
'we left the watery sea of glory impressed
with the idea that no one need go hungry
, whileahundred flat fish per hour can be
pulled from the waters of Norwalk harbor.

ethat Mrs. M. Louise Robinson had suddenly
died, at her home» in Brboklyn. But a few
brief months since she had left her Norwalk
home a joyous bride, and removed to her
new abode, where domestic love and social
refinement gave new zest and full fruition to
her girlhood's fondest aspirations. All that
the unslintcd wealth of husbandly affection
could bestow was hers, and in the birth'of
her first born, now a few weeks old, her
cup of earthly bliss seemed full to overflow-
ing. But, alas, like the fabled flower that
blooms but to die, the spirit of the younu
mother, so doubly blessed, has flown upward
to find rest in the dear Saviour's arms, and
now looks lovingly down from realms super-
nal upon her motherless babe. '
As Miss Louise Bartlett, the deceased, was
here in Norwalk ever a welcome guest to the
hearts and homes of all who knew her. With
a natural love and taste for music, improved
by diligent cultivation, her soul was as full
of song as are the birdsof the air. With
both voice and skilful touch of instrument,
none could resist the sweet fascinations of
her subtle melody. Possessing unusually
rare personal and mental charms, and a dis-
position of such benignaut goodness, that to
know her at all was to awaken a loving and
lasting affection The departure of very few
from among us would leave so wide and
painful a feeling of personal bereavement as
the decease of this most estimable lady.
But “death loves a shining mark,” and in the
very spring-time of apeerless womanhood,
when the ardent love of husband and home
and the supremest bliss of motherhood, had
awakened to new and extatic life all the in-
teth and holiest emotions of her gifted
nature, and when parental ties were made
doubly strong by admiration and hope, this
sudden and unexpected bereavement falls
with crushing weight upon the, stricken
family, and evokes the deepest and kindliest
sympathies of every heart in thisphour of
their dire afiliction. In no instance could
the sentiment of the beautiful lines of Hal-
lcck be more appropriately introduced:
None knew her but to love her,
Or named her but to praise.

The venerable Nathan Camp, of Brooklyn,
called at our office last Friday evening to
renew his subscription to the old Guam,
he having been a subscriber, we believe,
from the first publication of the paper. He
was looking remarkably well, and travels
with as much apparent ease as men a quarter
of a century younger. His memory iiiexcel-
lent, and he is rich in reminiscences of old
Norwalk and the people of past generations.
He commenced attending school in the year
1799, on France street, in the house now oc—
cupied by Mrs. Esther St. John, the school
being taught by a lady. He remembers the
old school house which, at the commence—
ment of this century stood in the triangle op-
posits the present residence of W. 8. Lock-
wood, Esq. A man named Joseph Dennis
had a printing oflice here and printed a news-
paper about the year 1800; the ofilce was a
one story building with sliding windows,
1 led where the Jackson Brothers now are.
Th Sherman family lived up Main street,
and a Major Rogers who lived next home
above held some government ofllce at Wash-
ington. That street was then known as
“Petticoat Alley." “Pension Laue," Down
Town, was named after an old pensioner
named Bartram. His stories about old times
in Norwalk are exceedingly interesting.

thereis room for more. Complete sets of
the Waverly Novels and of Dickens are yet
wanted. Even if they can be spared only
six months or a year, they will be important

Much interest is shown by Danbury people
in the various new railroad projects. A new

and gentlemanly ofilcers will be highly appre-
ciated—Daan Republican. \
What does our friend of the Republican
mean 1’ Does he let his political prejudices
run so far as to insinuate that Supt. Hyatt
isn't respectable because he has been on all
sides of the political fence, and just now is,
in a sort of Pickwickiau sense, a democrat.
We have faith to believe our friend Hyatt is
at heart just as sound a Republican as ever
he was, and that his errors of head never will
afiect his heart, and we don't .like to see
party spirit run so far as to jibc him thus for
his mere political vagaries.
Steamboatlng.
The pleasant, warm weather is now send-
iug large numbers of passengers to the Amer-
icus; several hundred a day enjoyed the sail
to and from the city, last week. A stage
from New Canaan runs down to connect
with the boat every other day, and on the 1st
of June the popularfives will commence to
travel up and down with his fine band. The
boat is neat and clean, and we think, safe ;
we know her tobe fast. She usually over-
hauls the Meta, of Stamford, between Green-
wich and Stamford, although the Meta leaves
New ~ York a half hour earlier than the
Americas. The Steward, Mr. Ackert, has
also improved the dining room and refresh-
ment stand, and parties can get breakfast or
dinner in good shape at very reasonable
prices, and so have all their time in the city
for business, calling or sight-seeing. Every-
thing is fresh, well cooked and served by at—
tentive waiters. Central Park is easily

emnly vowed would be necessary. The 24th
ference Bill was received by the Speaker of
the House of Representatives about 2 o’clock
on Monday. When announced, Fernando
Wood asked for its immediate reading, but
there were cries of “No," “No," from the
democratic side, as it desired time for a little
private caucussing. The message was read,
however, at three o’clock, occupying about
half an hour, and when it. wai finished the
applause upon the Republican side was en—
thusiastic and long continued, to the great
annoyance of the democrats, who for the
time being were thrown into confusion.
Taking advantage of this confusion, Deering
of Iowa, introduced the Army Appropriation.
Bill pure and simple, and moved its passage
under suspension of the rules. The motion
was of course defeated, but the democrats
were placed on record against it. The veto
message is regarded by Republicans, one and
all, as an admirable slate paper, and one
which they are confident will aid them
materially in their next campaign with the
thinking people of the country. It is un-
certain what course the Democratic party
will now adopt. The message was referred
to the Judiciary Committee, and it is said
that the Bourbons are meditating the prepar-
ation of an address to the President, but
which will of course be directed to the
country. There can be no doubt, however,
that many of the cooler heads among them
are for calling a halt and advising a surren-
der, which means a passage of the appropria.
tion bills and an adjournment. Advices
received by them from their constituents are
not favorable to_a Democratic victory in
1880, and many of them admit in private
conversation that they have made a terrible
if not fatal mistake, though of course their
public utterances are to the contrary.
The Legislative Bill has been discussed for
the whole week in the Senate. On Monday
Senator Windom spoke and presented the
Republican case in its very strongest light.
It was as practical and earnest a speech as
has been made, not excepting that of Senator
Conkling, and will have wide circulation.
Yesterday Senator Eaton made his long
advertised speech, in which he was expected
to sit down on Blaine by proving, as he
asserted and Blaine denied, that Daniel Web-
ster had declared this Union a Confederacy
of States. Of course he was unable to do
so, and had to content himself with the state.
ment that after two weeks investigation he
was unable to find such an utterance, but he
was quite sure that Webster meant that or at
least ought to have said it. His speech had
the merit of being an exceeding witty one,
for our senior Senator is one of the funniest
men in the Senate; but in no other respect
was it remarkable except for its intensely
Bourbon sentiments. The debate on this
billIis likely to close early next week and by
the end of it, the Presidential veto may
reach the House. ,
The House has been discussing the Warner
Silver Bill during the week, and may take
the final vote upon it today. It is impossible
at this writing to predict its fate, though the
vote will be a close one. ’
The advocates of temperance won a notable
little victory. yesterday, Mr. Frye reported
aresolution from the committee on' rules,
authorizing the appointment of a special
committeeto consider the numerous petitions
which are constantly being presented to Con.
gress respecting the liquor traffic. .In pre-
senting the resolution hesaid that it was time
that Congress gave heed to this matter, and
that the hitherto contemptuous manner in
which these petitioners had been treated
deserved the severest rebuke. The regular
committees to which these petitions had been
referred, had constantly buried them, and
hence the House ought to grant a special
committee for this purpose alone. His
proposition was supported by Garfield and
Monroe of Ohio, Conger of Michigan, and
Stephens of Georgia, but-was bitterly opposed
by Fernando Wood, Reagan and other Dem-
ocrats, but was adopted by a vote of 99 to
127. The Republicans and Greenbackers
mainly supported it, while the opposition
came almost exclusively from the Democrats.
All our Connecticut members voted for it.

Old Well Hotel. ‘
Ex.Mayor Ely has gotten out his plans and
specifications for a. new and modern hotel on
the site of the former popular hoatlcry de-
stroyed by fire. It is to be of unique style
of architecture, three stories high with two
towers rising another story from thereof
line. It is to be of pressed brick with brown
stone trimmings. There are to be eight
stores on the ground floor, with a hall run-
ning in their rear the entire length of the
house. The dining room islarge and airy
and fronts on Main street adjoining the Drug
store, The main entrance is from beneath
the tower on the herd at junction of Main
with Washington streets, with a privatc
entrance adjoining the dining hall. There
are sixty sleeping and family apartments,
with capacious public and neat ' private par-
lors. There are baths and water closets on
every story and seven exits from the upper
stories. In addition to all “modern improve-
ments" in its apartments, the house is to be
heated by steam and light and water intro-
duced into every room. A mansard roof
would add greatly to the beauty of the front
elevation as at present drawn by the archi-
tects, but this can easily be added in the
to if needed. Altogpther it will be a
most important addition to the architeo
tural variety and attractions of our
employments and by its solid comforts at-
tract many more strangers to share with us
the unparalleled health and beauties of
Norwalk. -

very well. The Gaza-ml office was put in

worked well from the start. Some delay has
been occasioned by the non-arrival of instru-

will soon be supplied and the lines in good

The Perfection or surgery.
We are more than ordinarily gratified in copy-
ing the following article. from the Roundout
Freeman. because Dr. Kennedy (whose skillful
management of‘the case reported has deseryeul y
placed him in the highest rank of surgeons) is the
discoverer of the much spoken of Favorite Reme-
dy. A private letter from a gentleman of Round-
out. written without Dr. K’s knowledge, alluding
to the case says: “I know the patient well, and
know that he has been unsuccessfull treated by
eminent New York physicians.
SURGICAL 0rnnarrox.—The operation of lith-
omy (removal ol'stone from the bladder), one of
the most severe and critical operations which
the our can is called upon to . perform, was suc-
cessful y performed on Tuesday. upon Mr. Henry
H. Pitts. a merchant of this city. by Dr. D. Ken.
ncdy, of Roundout. Several friends of the pa-
tient witnessed the operation. . Mr.l’itts had suf-
fered several years from this difficulty, but it was
only a week before the operation t at be was
made aware of the real cause of his complaint.
The Doctor was warmly con ratulated upon the
success of his operation, an the opinion of the
medical gentlemen present is that the patient will
make a good recovery.
Rncovnnr.-Mr. Henry H. Pitts, who was re-
cently Operated upon by Dr. Kennedy for remov-
al of stone from the bladder (says the Rondout
Freeman of the 9th insu.) has recovered from the
efiects incident to the operation. the closure of
the wound being complete on the 18th day. His
general health is good—better than it has been
for years. while he is perfectly free from all those
distressing symptoms so characteristic ot‘lhe dis-
ease with which he sufi'erell, and that necessita-
ted a resort t_o surgical treatment as the only
means by which his file could be wield.“ Edie

tainly a worthy subject of congratulation, and we
heartily extend ours to all the parties iconocrned.
Had this and similar cases secured a bottle of Dr.
Kennedy’s anprtte Remedy for one dollar, and
used the medicine in the early stages of the com-
plaint, there is no doubt but that the formation of‘
stone would have been prevented. thus avoiding
the necesslty of subjecting themselves to one of
the moat difilcult operations that a surgeon is
called upon to perform. '
