Mill Hilllmprovcmcnt.
The improvements in the highway and
sidewall: lines on Mill Hill have now pro-
gressed so far that the wayfarer though a
fool, can have but one opinion 83 t0 1‘5
decided benefit’ '{toftlie public as well as to
the private parties, through whose liberality
and exertions the good work has» been
wrought: This suggests another somewhat
Slu‘illal‘ improvement that ought to be made,
and one that would even more conspicuously
add beauty to our borough topography as
well as give greater convenience to the public.
The line of Belden Avenue at its south
juncture with. Wall street, should be
lilianged so as to cut straight across the late
Misses -elclen’s lot. This would bring it
out only a few feet west of the line 'of .Mrs.
Win. K. James residence and the additional
vacant space in front of the Belden mansion
and the residence of Mrs. Carter, . thus
thrown out into the highway, would With
the open space already in front of the old
Mott ll-ouse, make a very pretty, and many
times useful, little park. This improvement
ought to be secured 71010, bpfore the property
is sold and it becomes forever too late.

Scholastic. -
Mr. Hamilton, has been so greatly
misunderstood and misrepresented, in his
ellorts to elevate the standard of education
in ourlocal sch )015, that he will be able, to
appreciate the j'lst indignation of Rev. Dr.
Mead, whom gave vent to that intense
utterance that will outlive the memory of
his best sermons in the, school reminisccuses
ol’Norwalk. The Doctor had wrought and
worried with other, good men, to interest our
people in a better system of schools. With
trowel in one lsand and a sword in the other
the Union School edifice had been built, but
even then, the men who never paid a dollar
of school tax, and whose own lack and dire
need of education, was their most conspic-
nous characteristic, congregated at the Town
Iicuse in an effort to defeat the new better
educational system, about to be inaugurated
within the ncw school edifice. After ancisy
wrangle with this element of the town
meeting the doctors disgust and impatience
overcame all his efforts towards cool delibe-
ation and with tone, manner and gesticula—
tions almost eloquently bespeaking the pent
up fires of indignation within him, he ex-
claimcd-—“when I see such an exhibition of
ignorance and perversity as this, I thank
God that he has brought death into the world.”
The utterance struck the crowd with electric
force, the opposition was cowed and defeat--
ed, and the reform measures were triumph-
antly carried. We trust Mr. Hamilton may
find some consolation in the reminiscence.
fl
Collector.
The Selectmen, in the appointment of Mr.
George B. St. John, have secured the service
of an oilicer in whom the public will have
entire confidence. The taxes will be faith—
fully collected, but there will be no “extras"
or other unnecessary hardships imposed upon
that class of our citizens to whom the pay—
ment of any amount of taxes is always a real
hardship.

Good Road.
Itoad master Fred Betts has given us a
specimen on East Avenue of about the best
vravcl road bod ever seen in this region.
Now why can’t our Hon. Court of Burgesscs
at once order a similar good work to be done
down to the city line on ll’est Acenuc. That
main avenue of the two corporations is in a
most. discreditahle condition. It ought to be
McAdamized but in the absence of that do
Messrs. Burgess and City Fathers, give the
public at least a decent drive way for the pub-
lic necessities.
The almost tragic death of young Napoleon
at the hands of the Zulus, while it will touch
the tender chords of sympathy in every heart,
will nevertheless be looked upon as in some
degree a providential blessing so far as the
future peace and Republican character of
Franc-c is concerned. The distress of his
alilicted mother, the proud Eugenie, on the
news being made known to her, was too ter-
rible for words. All the fond hopes of the
Imperial mother for a restoration of the
Napoleonic reign in France, were blasted in
the tragic death of this, her only son.
The young French Prince has been very
unfortunate through life. The “baptism of
fire,” at Sedan, ended disastrously and was
followcdhby years of exile. ~His search for
“glory” .in fighting the Zulus of Africa,
has terminated with an inglorious death at
the hands of concealed enemies, and his
poor naked body was a target for Zulu spears:
Poor Eugenie l how‘ much happier the lot or
an unanibitious peasant woman.

Among the graduates of the Spencerian
Business College, at Washington on Tuesday
last, was John Sterling McLean, a son of
Dr. John W. McLean, lately of Norwalk,
but who moved to Washington last fall. The
many friends here of Dr. John W. McLean
will be graliticd to know that he is meeting
with success in his new field of labor and
has a good prospect of doing well. Young
John S. was the youngest by some years in
the class of over 30 graduates and yet stood
fifth in rank in the class; gratifying and
surprising hislparcnts and teachers by the'
progress he had made in‘ his studies as they
did not think, when he entered,that he would
be able to graduate so soon.

The farm recently purchased by Charles
Sherwood, Down Town, is one of the most
sightly places anywhere “along shore.” The
view of the beautiful islands studdiug the
mouths ofoOrwalk and Westport harbors
and the long stretch of sound water is per
fcctly enchanting. A more enrapturiug pan»
orama is not to be found between New York
and Boston, and we don’t wonder that our
.i'ricnd was so captivated by its beauty and.
grandeur, as toforsake the town and return
to man’s primitive occupation.

Bridgeport has for years wanted the rest of
Fairfield County to build a. handsome Court
House in that city. Now they have decided
to “agitate” the question, and to keep stirring
the thing up. They have started some of
the lawyers and we shall soon hear big talk
about the needs of the. County, the disgrace
of such a building as that now occupied. live.
'What Bri eport really wants is a big Court
House wit‘ém corner dedicated to County
use, and the main edifice occupied for city
purposes. Something a little bigger and
more costly than the new State House, at
Hartford, might answer considering the
times. ' Well, if this thing is to be “agitat-
ed,” let the agitation come, but the men who
stand in the breach will have an unpleasant
time of it or we are no prophets.

RESIGNED.—hll‘. Samuel T. Duttou, princi-
palbf the Eaton School, New Haven, has
resigned, and refuses to rccallJiis resigna-
tion. He intends to carry out a. plan he has
had in mind for several years—to study
theology and enter the ministry. He has
been very successful as a teacher in New
Haven, and his departure causes general
regret. '
In transhipping some of Mr. Buckley’s

July Celebrations.
New Haven is first and foremost on the
list of Fourth of July celebrations. The
city and citizens are in for an old-time patri-
otic demonstrations. Fairfield is to celebrate
the centennial anniversary of the destruction
of that town by the British tr00ps in the war
of the Ilevoluton. Why can‘t Norwalk, so
rich in Colonial and Revolutionary history,
have some decent observance of our one
town. We suggest that the Rev. Mr. Bissell
at‘this end of the Town, and say Mr. Wm.
S. Bouton, at the City, be invited to prepare
historical addresses to be delivered on the day
or evening of the 12th of July. This would
involve little expense and afford much prof—
itable pleasure to all lovers of our grand old
town.

Runaway.
On Tuesday last, during the rain storm, a
light, side-bar buggy containing the driver,
two ladies ands little girl, was overturned in
turning the corner near A. J. Crofut’s barn,
city, and theload thrown out. The two
ladies were quite seriously hurt, while the
driver and child escaped. The top works of
the buggy \vcre pretty well used up. The
team belonged in Bridgeport. -
Another.
Another runaway—almost, liked to have
happened at Mill Hill to-day, Monday. Bur-
ritt’s old horse, yearning for cats, started
from its,mastcr’s plumbing shop on a. full
gallop up the bill for home. But Burritt
was too rapid a runner for the horse, and
getting up the hind end of the wagon,secured
the runaway beast and thus spoiled a first
class local item.
Open Air Festival.
We see that the ladies of St. Paul‘s Society
are following the custom of our English
cousins by giving an out-door festival to
their friends next Thursday, which they
hope will be numerous on this occasion.
Games for the young, and something more
substantial for all, will be among the attrac-
'tious.

At’ the Fair Grounds.
By reference to an adv. to: contractors in
another column it will be seen that at last a
long and much needed improvement is to be
made at the Fair Grounds by grading and
working a. new trotting track. This im-
provement has often been mooted, but for
some reason, postponed from season to sea—
son. The track is to be entirely made over,
carried farther to the north, and made .wider,
truer and nicer,—in fact is to be as near
perfect as possible. By removing it further
to the North it adds much needed room to
the driveway at the entrance and space in
front of the building,—this of itself will be

4th of July Excursion.
The proprietors of the Steamboat line
announce that the steamer Adelphj will
make an excursion to RockawayBeach' on
the 4th, leaving hereat the usual time and
returning earlyin the evening. Passengers
will-enjoy a sail on the Sound, in New York
Bay, and on the Atlantic, and will pass
many points of attraction, including the new
iron. pier Coney Island. Certainly no
more attrac c excursion could be planned
from this vicinity. Read the advertisement.
School Entertainment
For the first time in its history, we believe,
the Over River. School will give a public en-
tertainment in the Opera House. Friday
evening is the time selected. The programme
will embrace a dramatic sketch of interest,
dialogues, declamations, music calisthcnics,
the. Thc children are selling tickets, and
seals can be reserved. We hope to see the
House crowded upon this occasion.
The Cousins Pic-nic.
A more glorious and delightful day never
dawned on pleasure seekers than yesterday,
the day selected for the James Cousinsd:
Sons pic-nic excursion to Roton Point.
There were twelve carryalls drawn by two.
four and six horses and several single car-
'riagcs, all headed by the Westport Brass
Baud,'procurcd .by the Messrs. Cousins to
convey the employees of their Shoe manu-
factory. At the Point, Mine Host Scarles
had provide a monster clam, oyster, lobster
and blue fish bake and set tables for two-
hundred and fifty. These were all taken and
thirty more had to be provided for at a sup-
plementary table. The sumptuous dinner
over, James McKay, Esq., was called upon
for a speech, and responded, thanking the
employers for their uniform liberality and
kindness to the employed. Then the fore-
man, Samuel Carpenter, quietly arose, and to
the complete surprise of the senior Mr. Cous-
ins, presented him with a heavily gold
mounted ebony cane, in a neat and appropri—
ate speech. Mr. C. blushingly received the
proffered honor with a few modest wordsof
thanks‘to his faithful employees whose grati-
tude he'was proud to acknowledge. The
cane cost some forty dollars, and bore the
following inscription :
“Presented to
JAMES COUSINS

With some personal experience in canin
exercises, we must confess that this was the
most successful one we ever witnessed.
Music and dancing and promenading and
flirting, chased the happy hours away till
time to return. . Not an accident or single
case of excess or rudeness occurred to mar
the delights of the day and the generous and
entcrprising employers will long be grate-
fully remembered for their thoughtful kind—

WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 21, 1879.
The most acciimonious debate which has
taken place in Congress in years closed. last
evening, or rather this morning, in the “wee
smirkhours. The Democrats having been
beaten at every point, and foreseeing that
they must unconditionally surrender, have
been in a very bad humor. They hve
abandoned every position but one, and as
the Republicans are unyielding as to that,the
abandonment of that is only rlquestion of time.
It is impossible in the limits of one short
article to notice all the salient features of the
week's very exciting history. To begin
with, the dominant party found at the outset
that they had a very serious row in their
own ranks to dispose of, to wit: the threat-
ened resignation of Senators Bayard and
Kernan from their positions on the committee
on Finance induced by an attempt to take
the control of the Warner Silver Bill from
the hands of . that committee, and hence the
interest manifested in the Democratic
Senatorial caucus which was held on Tues-
day, especially as the silverites had expressed
themselves confident of controlling votes
enough to secure the resignation of these
two gentlemen. The session was stormy,
several bitter speeches having been made,
and although a truce has been proclaimed
which leaves the bill in the committees' con-
trol until next session, there is discord and
unrest in the party, which» has manifested
itself the whole week long by violence of
temper and acerbily of speech. The position
of the party is a very uncomfortable one.
Brought up against a dead wall by the folly
of their‘own leaders. they are unwilling to
butt their heads against it or to turn back.
One of the two courses, however, they must
adopt, either one of which is attended with
peril. ' ' .
The debate over the Army Bill led to two
personal encounters in the Senate, one of
which for a time seemed serious. The arbi-
trary and unjustifiable action of the Demo-
crats in attempting to pass that bill without
permitting full debate and opportunity to
amend by the Republicans, was very proper-
ly resisted by them, and led to 3. continuous
session of twenty-seven hours, at the end of
which time the Democrats laid ’down their
arms unconditionally. For the-first five hours
not a dozen words were said upon the bill,
the time being consumed almost altogether
by the Democrats, with an occasional inter;
ruption by Blaine. The latter, in the course
of his remarks, read with telling effect vari—
ous selections from a school book designed
for Southern youth, showing that it was full
of incendiary stuff manufactured, expressly
for the rising generation of the South. This
brought him in contact with Vance of North
Carolina, and Voorhees and McDonald of
Indiana. Mr. Voorliees spoke for nearly two
hours, attempted a great deal of satire, and
actually scolded every 'Northern Sena—
tor for being in the Senate, declaring
that the North had been ungrateful to
its war heroesf It was a little remarkable
that no one told Vorhecs that though the
northern senators were not soldiers, they
were at least Union men, none of whom had
ever been arrested for treason. The climax
of the debate was reticlied at midnight in the
personal encounter between Conkling and
Lamar-fin which both the honorable Sena-
tors laid out such epithets as cowards liars
and blackguards. The session finally closed
at 3 p. m. on Thursday, and not a point had
been gained by the Democrats, the Republi-
cans having held them at bay for twenty-
seven hours. Yesterday after a square back-
down by the. Democrats, the Republicans
debated the bill to their hearts content, and
at two o‘clock this morning the Army Bill
passed the Senate:- and is‘ now with the
President. It is more than probable that
ere this letter is mailed both that and the
Legislative Bill will be signed by him and
have become laws.
The fourth veto of the series is expected
on Monday or Tuesday, asjt is generally
conceded that the judicial bill though SIIOI'D
of many of its vicious features will not he
' e 'de I. What. the. enirnp.
iigggguildgrgi ivhiilbe after that no ‘one
can predict. It is asserted with some show
of authority that they will force an adjourn-
ment of Congress. If they do it is safe to
say that they will be immediately called
back to another extra Session. If they
should then adjourn, the President would
probably construe their action to be a desire
that no federal judiciary should exist in this
country between the lst of July and the lst
of December, and would probably govern
himself accordingly. It is hardly to be
believed however that the hot-heads iii the
Democratic party are quite ready to allow
the administration to cause an executive
proclamation to be placarded' on the court
house door of every court house in the
country informing the public that the courts
appropriate the necessary funds for their
support. The itching palms of Democratic
lawyers, and congressmen greedy for fees
during the season will probably prevent the
consumation of this plan, but as a political
issue the Republicans can ask no better one .

We have been aware for some months past
that it was Mr. Whitney's intention to quit
the picture business and leave to younger

were liOping that he might change his mind.
but as that is out of the question now we
wish him success in whatever business he
may engage in. As an artist we cannot re-
tract anything good we have said. During
the past twenty years he has been with us,
his portraits as likenesaes stand unrivaled;
his sole aim seemed to be to secure nlike~
ness,‘ ignoring all appliances that would' (l8-

sion he was foremost to secure, hence in Feb.
ruary, 1878, he was the first licensee for the
Lightning Process (0 French discovery) in
this country. Only two weeks ago he took a
portrait of Bishop Williams while talking
with him, and caught an expression so well
liked that one hundred copies have already
been made from the negative, and the Messrs.
Anthony have requested the picture for pub-
lication in their journal. But the Gallery
