Bon Voyaige.
An unusually large party of our citizeus
has been made up fora transatlantic trip
this summer. They are to take passage in
the City of Chester, on Saturday of this
week, and make their first landing in “swate
Ireland,” and from thence pass rnpidly
through the British Isles to the Continent.
From Paris they will do the Rhine country of
Germany with a possible hasty excursion
into Switzerlanz’, and returning at the end of
two months. The party comprises our
Warden, Thos. H. Morison, wife and son,
Mr. and Mrs. AILNeff, Chas. E.St. John and
' wife, Miss Birdie Olmstead, youngest daugh-
ter of S. E. Olmstead, Esq, who goes under
the protecting care of Mrs. Nell. ‘Quite a
lar company of our citizenswill accompany
thegIortunate voyagers to New York to see
them set sail on Saturday, and bid them
“ban voyage." And may old Neptune blow
his softest summer breezes and waft them
back again to the “loved ones left behind" in
their “dear native land."

Strawberry Festivals.
The season for these favorite Summer
Festivals is now about commencing as will
bcseen by the announcements in our adv.
columns.
The first to lead of is the WINNII’AUK
SABBATH Sonoon, who propose holding an
elaborate One at Smith's Hall, Winnipauk, .on
Thursday and Friday evenings, at which
time they will be pleased to greet their
friends from Borough and City. This school
beingaUnion School appeals to all and is
deserving of a hearty response from all de-
nominations; it is the first they have under-
taken to give in a number of years.
On Tuesday and Wednesday evening‘s, the
17th and 18th inst., the Festival of the sea-
son will be held by those veterans in the
business, the ladies of the SECOND M. E.
SOCIETY at Lockwood's Hall. It .is un—
necessary to say much about their Festivals,
for any one ever attending one of those fes--
five occasions, will readly grant that“what
'they don’t know about making pleasant
and successful festivals is not worth know—
iny They are sure to make you feel
at home and take you and take your money
so easy and gracefully,that you hardly know
when it is done.

Notwithstanding the storm during the day
and evening of Tuesday last, the entertain-
ment given by the Ladies’ Temperance
Union and the Children’s Cold Water Army
at Lockwood's Hall, was very well attended.
The exercises proved very interesting, the
children performing the parts alloted to them
very perfectly and to the evident satisfaction
of all. __
Mr. J. B. McMullen (whoever he may he)
writes to the New York Herald that he and
his brother are the sole authors and proprie-
tors of the proposed excursion across the
continent to welcome Grant, and that it has
no political significance. According to Me
Mullen it is purely a private speculation,’and
we have the authority of the President of the
Central Pacific Railroad that no arrangements
have been or are likely to be concluded for
such an excursion at anything less than the
present existing excursion rates.
They have'had acopious rain in Minnesota

amt. wit tinnitus"!
Following up our'ang'géstimon of a few weeks
ago, the Stamford .Adoooote had in its last
issue‘the :following pertinent remarks about.
Norwalk’s chance for a grand Centennial
celebration. Read it and decide what we
shall do, celebrate or not : '
“Greenwich having patriotically remem-
bered its centennial—it is in order for our
enterprising neighbor Norwalk, to remember
in a fitting way the times that tried men’s
souls as connected with the local history of
that town. . The burning of Norwalk was
perhaps th ost wanton and destructive
piece of van ' m perpetrated by the British
in all their several raids upon the Connec—
ticut shore. According to the facts as ofii—
eially ascertaild by order of Gov. Trumbull,
there were burned at Norwalk, by the Brit-
ish forces under Gen. Tryon, 35 dwellings,
89 barns, 15 stores, 25 shops, 5 vessels and _4
mills. There must have been also in addi—
tion at least two churches destroyed, for we
learn that '“they burned the meeting house
and the Episcbpal church, with this bias—
phemous and heaven defying expression at
setting fire to the latter: 'NOw, God Al-
mighty, come and defend your own house.‘ ”
The next great sufferer along the shore was
Fairfield, where 82 dwellings, 55 barns, 15
stores, and 15 shops were destroyed. 4 At
Green's Farms, 15 dwellings and 11 barns
were burned, and the British raids were cs-
tiniated to have inflicted a property loss. of
about one hundred thousand pounds sterling
upon the shore towns alone, and exclusive of
the destruction at Danbury and other pomts'
in the interior.
But the Norwalk burning which occurred
July 11th, 1779, was the most extensive and
most wanton among the series of raids. It is
a remarkable and memoriable event in the
history of the colonial struggle, audit should
be properly commemorated on its contennial
anniversary.” ~

Bible Distribution.
At the request of the Norwalk and Vicini-
ty Bible Society, a work of Bible distribu
tion is to be carried forward in the Town of
Norwalk, conducted by Mr. E. B. Stilson in
the service of the Connecticut Bible Society.
It is designed to supply all the destitute
with the Bible, to sell it to all who wish it at
the lowest price, to gather facts in regard to
the spiritual condition and needs of the
community, to do missionary work when rt.b
quired and to collect funds in aid of Bible
work at home and abroad. No collections
for: the Bible cause will be taken in the
churches for the current year, but in place of
them Mr. Stilson will take subscriptions from
house to house, and will carefully designate
and acknowledge those from each church
and society separately.
"The undersigned cordially commend the
work to the sympathy, co-operation and
liberal support of all friends of the Bible
and of humanity.

Two weeks ago Dr. Tyng was attacked by
pleurisy, differing in this from other pleurisy
that it was accompanied by an accumulation
of purulent matter. Dr. Tyng has for along
time been living in'seclusion. Theparishion-
crs attribute his malady to overwork. But for
this serious illness he would have conducted
the funeral services of Mr. Mathews. In Dr.
Tyng’s absence Rev. Dr. Hall, of 5th Avenue
Church, conducted the services at Elmen-
worth. ‘
The funeral services were conducted by
the Rev. Dr. Hall of the 5th Avenue church,
New York. and Rev. C. M. Selleck, of Nor-
walk. The former madea feeling address,
and the latter read the burial service very
impressively. The remains have been in
charge of the sexton of Dr. Hall’s church,
and were in a perfect state of naturalness,
solely by the use of ice. Many noted and
distinguished persons were present from
abroad.
Our old friend Newson’s “Independent Far-
mer and Fireside, Companion,” continues to
come to us.as bright and cheery as a new Eas-
ter bonnet. In our former notice of it we omit-
ted mention of the fact that our fi-iend's
gifted young daughter, Miss Mary Newson,
has editorial charge of the litterary depart—
ment of the new venture, and the products
of her pen and the delicacy and good
taste of the selections fully prove that a most
brilliant and promising star has arisen in the
literary horizon of the West. Miss Newson
exhibits much of the beauty, favor and orig-
inality of mind that used to so distinctively
characterize her worthy paternal’s writings.

George Themes,a young man from lio-

Bridge on Wednesday afternoonlast, by his
erratic actions. It was soon learned that he
had been'takingalarge quantity of Landa-

his existence. 'But good Samaritans took
him in hand, hunted up Physicians, and flu-
ally relieved him of the dose taken, and he
was taken home to Darien, only to return
back to the village the next morning. He
seems possessed of a mania to make away
With himself and we understand that .ippli—
cation has been made for his admis-
sion to the Insane Asylum. When his
condition was first known on. Wednesday,
Dr. Higgins, who happened to be passing,
endeavoredto administer an antidote but
could not get him to take anything; after-
wards, as he began to feel worge, he took a
dose of Belladonna from the hands of Dr.
Many, dentist, and was afterwards treated or
looked after, by Drs. Higgins, Cooke, Nolan
and Gregory. It was several hours before he
recovered from the effects of the Laudanum.
Strawberries.
Strawberries are coming into market i We
do not mean South Carolina’s wasted fra-
grance nor Jersey’s sanded sweets, but the
large, delicious Norwalk berries, fresh, juicy
and every way delightful—as beautiful to
look upon as they are lucious to the taste.
Asusual Mrs. Charles Comstock, of the
Broad River District, is the first to put in an
appearance with a supply ' of' ripe, luscious
berries, grownat home. She picked half a
bushel on Saturday last, of which a fine sam-
ple of early and large berries, the “Comstock
Seedling” found their way to the printer.
Thanks.
The editoral palate was titllated by the
first picking of Durand's early seedling
strawben'ies—“King of the North.” The
largest ranged from five to seven and a half
inches in circumference, and was of most
delicious. pin flavor. This variety seems
to do better in our Connecticut soil than his
more famous “Great American.”
The Hartford Courant says that the

and wants to know how it is operating

Ono man has been sent up, and the genus
tramp is about extinct in this vicinity.

On Wednesday evening last the Fire Police
emerged from their headquarters and quietly
marching through the Bridge mysteriously
disappeared over the brow of Mill Hill.
Nothing more was heard of them until the
Witching sma’ hours of the night, when they
might have been secnwheeling and going
through all manner of fancy evolutions and
caperings up East Avenue, and finally to
their quarters on Main street-with not a
man missing. The story all came out after
awhile that the merry crowd had simply
been practising for the Bethel parade, and
that while skirmishing down Town they
brought up standing at the residence of ofii—
cer Charles Sherwood, a worthy member of
the company who has recently taken posses-
sion of a farm near the mouth of the Songs-
tuck river. Mr. Sherwood was as much sur-
prised as pleascd with the' visit, and the re-
sult was an exceedingly pleasant time all
around. The estimable wife of Mr. Sher-~
wood was equal to the emergency, and cap-
tured the entire force; while jokes and
laughter resoundcd from the parlor her, busy
hands were preparing a fine collation to
which the boys in blue were duly invited and
to which they did ample justice. The com-
pany finally took their departure with cheers
for their hosts. and on the way home cheer-
fully responded to orders and executed move-
ments never' thought of by Upton. For
further particulars inquire of Capt. Meeker
or Secretary Smith. .

last. He was born in St. Louis, and achieved
a great success as a female equestrienne

The deception was kept up for years. He

The event of the coming week will be the
School Exhibition, at Music Hall, on Friday
evening, Principal Seymour has about com-
pleted all the arrangements (with the as-
sistance of the lady teachers) and proposes
to give one of the most interesting exhibi-
tions ever given in this place. The exhibi-
tion will consist of readings, recitations,
singing, dumb bell and indian club exer-
cises, and numerous other attractions. The
price of admission is 25 cents, and we pre-
sume there will be a full house. _
The 7th of J use is about here, and that
being the close of bids for our new hotel,
the PGOple are quite anxious to know who
will be awarded the contract. We hear of
quite a number of bets on the query.
“Whether the hotel will be built or not .”
Some say it looks as though Mr. Ely meant
business, others say: “I will believe it when
I see it." &c.
We understand that Mrs Benedict, of Cro-
fut & Knapps, and Owen Trovvbridge of
Adams Brothers are talking of building on
Haviland street. That is right, it is one of
the prettiest streets in the city, and now is
the time to build cheap.
Mr. R. H. Rowan's brother, Abraham
Rowan, from Nebraska,is visiting him in this
city.
Every body likes our new Methodist min-
ister, Rev. James M. Saunders.‘ He has
harmonized the church, and has it in better
condition than it has been for years. The
church has a debt of about $1,000. Mr.
Saunders hasset about to reconcile matters,
and has been successful so far- He has a
volunteer choir of about fifteen voices, and
has done it in the few weeks he has been
here; something Mr. Boole tried to do all
the time he was here and did not succeed.
Mr. Saunders preaches to large congregations
and seems to please his people. Last Sun-
day was the children's day in the church.
He preached to children in the morning,
and had a concert in the evening, which
was a grand success. We are glad to see
so many of our up-town friends at this-
church.
The day police has been taken off, and
the people are once more made happy.
Since the new law on tramps has taken
effect, we are not botherd with them in this
city any more. The law works like a charm
and is a good one. . '
The concert at the Congregational Church,
on Sunday evening was well attended, and
a grand success. Their concerts are very
interesting, and the officers and teachers
deserve great credit for their endeavors to'
make them so.
The people are anxious to know when the
band will commence their concerts on the
boat. We make the enquiry of you suppos-
ing you know all about it.

Paul Hersher,the artist, is making sketches
of several of our the residences. He pro—
poses to sketch thl Dorlon House, Frank
Burritt’s, Keyser'sIsland, and E. A. Wood-
ward’s place in a flw days. We are anxious
to see them, for wéknow they will be first
class, judging fron some of his work we
{have seen. 2
Some of our scho'ol. teachers are quite in-
dignant at the ordet from the School Visitors
to be examined bylhe Board of Education
on the 23d inst. Stine of them suggest that
they themselves sbcilld be examined by the
State Board, and others suggest that they
call an indignationimeeting and invite the"
Board to be presen and tell them what they
thinklof them. T re is fun ahead.

There is a rumor, that Representative
Rowan is trying to purchase State Treasurer
Baker’s, residence on the hill. It is one of
the finest residences in Norwalk, and Mr.
Rowan will secure a prize if he succeeds in
getting it. ,
One of the most interesting exercises that
have taken place in this city for a number of
years was at the Springwood Union Chapel on
Sunday afternoon, it being the tenth anniver-
sary of the organization of this chapel.
The exercises consisted of singing by the
school and speaking by the Rev. Homer N.
Dunning, Rev. James M. Saunders, and Rev.
D. R. Austin. The chapel was well decora
ted with flowers. On both sides of the altar
was a wreath of flowers, in the center of the
one on the left was “1869,” and in the one on
the right “1879.” To Mr. Charles W. Law.
rencc is due the grand success of this insti-
tion. He has given all his extra time to it
that he has a valuable corps of assxstants.
The whole afiair passed off very pleasantly,
and the institution bids fair to continue many
the exercises every member of the congrega-
hole boquet; we assure our readers that
there was-a crowd.
chapel celebrated their anniversary by a
good time in the way of. speaking, singing,
and a good supper; most of the clergy were
there and spoke. '
A great city always furnishes the beholder
with objects of more or less cheerful interest.
For instance, one of the most conspicuous
signs at South Norwalk, which, is permitted
to stretch clear across the sidewalk over the
heads of pedestrians, bears the exhilerating
and suggestive word “undertaker,” thereon!
The streets are in a splendid condition now
and what is nicer than good streets. It is
the cheapest in the long run to keep them in
good shape. Street Committecman Knapp
deserves credit.
Edison nee Dibble has placed one of his
new lamps directly in front of the Old Well
Hotel property which gives a first-rate light.
It is after the pattern of the,old-fashioned
lights, being air light, it is enabled to give a
blaze about an inch and a quarter wide, with-
out theluse of a chimney. We hope it will
be a success, and we think it will, for Mr.
Dibble means business, and he is on the right
track—economy. It was through him that
the day police was removed which is a saving
of about $600 a year, and if he continues to
burn oil, it will be a saving of $1,000 more
a year. which we think is very good for one
man to do. Brother Dibble, go one with
your good (work, the people will' stand by
you. We understand the new lamps costs
about $6 a piece. If they work it would be
the cheapest to buy a complete outfit, than
to go back to gas again. We only regret that
he put it where he did, for he does'not do it
. justice in placing it where he has; it should
have been put in some darker place.
Messrs. Lounsbury Bros. propose fixing up
the yard around the City Hall and putting it
in fine shape. The truck boys have good
quarters and know how to appreciate it.
They have a new upright piano, bath room
and everything is in good shape.
The crisis has come, andthc democratic
attorney of the.clty has resigned, instead of
the democratic councilman. It must have
required some check for such a councilman
to have Voted requesting such attorney to
withdraw his resignation, when it is asserted
his meddlesome propensities was the chief
cause of' the attorney’s act.
Clay street' has again received attention at
the hands of our Board of . Councilmen, and
many of the residents on it now wonder if
the attempt to make water run up bill will be
a success. There are others of doubting
minds who propound vexing questions which
they would be pleased to have ' the council—
men answer. A very important ofie is,
"How the- Council can rescind votes of a
since its formation, although we might any
years yet, and it ought. After the close of
tion was presented with a handsome button-
On Friday evening last the Graniteville
previous Council with which the land owners
have compiled, and which are inconsistent
with their last vote.” It reminds us of the
famous resolution offered and passed by the
board years since, when one of the present
board was a member, “Repealing all votes
passed regarding Woodward avenue,” when
the matter was entirely out of their hands,
and no appeal was valid, except to the Sn-
perior Court.
No little excitement was caused on Satur—
day afternoon, by an alarm of fire, in the
Norwalk Lock Shop. The report is_'that it
originated in the drying room, causing but
little damage to the building or stock, but
seriously scalding and burning two or three
operatives.
We hear that H. II. Elwell, Esq., has de-
serted his home for a while, and during the
absence of Mrs. E. will keep bachelor’s hall
in Bridgeport. .,
Sunday night was Sunday school concert
night in nearly all the city churches. At the
Congregational church where the floral deco-
rations were superb, the subject was “Gar-
den, Man’s First Home.” The more attrac-
tive part of the exercises, was the reading
of selections by Miss Sadie Dibble and Miss
Pennell, the song by Miss Blanche Whitman
and the two double quartettes bythe children
and adults.
At the annual meeting last week, a six
mill tax was laid. The estimate of expen-
ses for the current year amounts to $9.336,
and the floating debt is $5,500.
At the annual meeting of the Union
School district the old board were re-elected
as follows:—Committee, T. I. Raymond, E.
Adams, J. M. Dayton; Tress, J. A. Brown,
Clerk, N. ,H Benedict; W. S. Bouton, Col—
lector; L. Dibble, Auditor. Ameeting to
laya tax will be held in July. The com-
mittee were authorized to ’fund the debt of
the district at a lower rate than 0 per cent.
The disbursements for the year were about
$15,000.
. Letters from the People.
To rm: Enrrons or GAza'rrE:
Gentlemen :——It is worthy of notice the
efforts made in your city for the training
of the young in the good cause of temper-
ance. I attended with great pleasure the
literary entertainment of the Cold Water
Army in_ Lockwood's Building. The well
training of the children is no doubt due to
the ladies in charge of the army. 1 never
witnessed a better organization of its kind
in our own city of Brooklyn, and must con-
gratulate you on behalf of the Christian
ladies in charge of so noble a work.
Yours truly, Jas. W. SnAw, Jr.

IMPORTANT TO Ann—The most general
complaint that seems to spare neither class
nor condition of person, is seated in the
liver. Many with. woe begone countenances,
despondent spirits and depressed feelings, ex-
agerate every event until even suicide has
been known to result from this morbid condi-
tion of body and mind, yet Simmon’s Liver
.chulator is known to be a specific for affec-
tions of the Liver, Spleen and Kidneys. Un-
like most preparations it fully meets the
wants of the patient whose liver or stomach
is disorganized and soon restores the emaci-
ated and spiritless dyspeptic sufferer, to a
more hopeful condition of life than he could
otherwise hope to obtain.

medicines having power to purify the bloot are

I must relate a characteristic anecdote of
Prof. Newcomb, which has lately been the
cause of no little merriment among his ac-
quaintances.
vited to a. wedding, the professor attended
with a friend, and, after the marriage cere-
mony had been performed, he advanced
with the others to pay his respects to the
wedded pair. Approaching, he solemnly
shook'hands with each, but said not a word.
As he turned away, his friend, surprised,
said, "Why didn’t you say something to
the bride ?” The professor, who is nothing
if not scientific, answered: “Why, I didn't
thing that I had any new facts to impart.”
