WEST NORWALK.
Alfred Hathaway is making great im—
provements around his cozy little cottage.
Rev. Mr. Bradford, of Darlen, preachedin
Union Chapel, on Sunday p. m. At the close
of the services he announced that the first
intimation of the narrow escape from a seri-
ous accident from his horse backing of! a
bridge, was when he read it in a .Norwalk
local paper.
Now that, the surveyors on the Parallel
Railroad have passed through this place, at
the very southern extremnity, there are very
many so uncharitable as to say the road
will never be built, others say it will get no
traffic from this direction, for. it is not laid
Ont anywhere, but away from all gt the resi-
dences. The disgust at the route last sur-
veyed, is seen on every face.
Mr. Andrew Johnson is spending a short
time at home after a very successful season
_st his trade, in Newark, N. J.
As the time approaches for the annual
“school meeting,’ ’there is a little “talk" as to
who shall be officers of the district. Having
no bank or insurance clerk, or heavy dealers
in fire wood, to select from, plain mechanics
or farmers must be chosen for Officers, with
no chance to furnish anything except their
services, and that must be free.

Look out for a special town meeting. It
is now proposed to abrogate the road con-

The 'young people of the Zion’s Hill church
will give an entertainment at Reed's Hall,

Now that the circus season is upon us, the
small boy imbibes communistic principles
and inwardly exercrates the selfishness of the
bloated bond holders.
Mr. John Gantley was considerable nettled
because he was alluded to in the GAZETTE.
Mr. G. should recollect that mediocrity ever
lingers in obscurity, while it is the‘fate of

About twenty—five members of the South
Noriwalk Reform Men’s Association held a
temperance meeting at the Congregational
church. last Tuesday evening. The attend-
ance was not large; the more is the pity, for
the exercises were very interesting. A col-
lation was served them in thelecture room,
and a good start given them just as the moon
was rising on the eastern hills.
The new time table gives us four trains a

There is still a quiet work of grace going
on in the Congregatioul church in this town
under the pastorate of Rev. Samuel Scovrlle.
Oanhursday morning an unknown man
while walking on the railroad track, was
struck by the 9:02 train coming west, and
terribly mangled and disfigured, at the was .

roads in Glenbrook.
Samuel C. Waterbury, first selectman, hitd
his leg broken by jumping from an engine
near Albany, recently.
Seven hundred dollars is the amount or
reward the man will receive who will bring
to the bar of justice, and convict of the
crime,the wretch who recently fired the barn
of Mr. Chas. H. Scofield, at Stillwatcr, and

Hubbard, Hubbard’s Hill. The Selectmen
of the town offer two hundred dollars’ rc-
ward, and responsible citizens add five huu-
dred more.—Adoocale.
The Parallel Railroad surveyors in town
on Monday procured the services of Mr.
Hiram Raymond, who helped to run the old
Twining line some twelve years ago. _
A surveying force of five men, including
the civil engineer, were making preliminary
observations on the hills in town and adja-
cent thereto, on Monday, with a view to as-
certaining the most feasible route for thg
roposed new railroad. No definite line he
yet been staked out; but as near as can be
guessed from the indications, the route Will
ass through Glenbrook, over Strawberry
Hill just south of the Betts’ Military Instr—
tute, cross Washington avenue a few rods
south of the “eightchimney house,” over
the Northern part of Hubbard's Hill, and
from thence deflecting in a southwest direc—
tion through the valley at ‘the west Of the
latter hill. Topographical instruments were
placed on various eminences and calculations
made; the tower at Phillips’s Park was also
used as a lookout. The surveyors steadily
keep in view one thing and usually make
everything yield to it. viz: as straight a line
as possible between the termini of the route.
As to whether the opposition railroad will
ever be built or not, Opinions are various.
That it will be constructed is likely enough;
but as to whether a new company will own
.it, or the one that is already in possession of
swell-known road, is the question. Such
property can usually be bought if the price
offered is large enough—Herald.
DAN BURY.
For the week ending April 25, the hat

Something over two years ago, Mr. James
Gibson, an old and valued employee of the
Danbury and Norwalk Railway Co., was
badly injured at Norwalk Bridge by a heavy
timber falling and smashinghis right leg.
Tuesday he was again the Victim of a se.
rious accident. He was engaged at Moun—

It having been stated in the New York

that Mr. J. E: Wheeler who was last week

Apple, pear,'and peach trees are heavy with

side of the bridge, complain Of the want of
depot accommodations—that they have to
wait in grocery stores and on street corners
for the cars. They do not object to this in
fine weather, but do when it storms,and they
will be glad if the company can furnifi a
waiting room.

WILLOW naoox CEMETERY.
When, three years ago, the project of es-
tablishing a new cemetery in town' was
broached and the tract of more than twenty
acres not known as Willow Brook Cemetery
was purchased. few had confidence to. be-
lieve it would ever amount to much as a
public burial place. - It was an unsightly
and barren spot,—-a sort of slough of despond
forming its front or street side, which with
briars, bushes, and tumble down fences
made it apparent that money enough to bring
about the proposed improvements could net
he raised in a town already Well stocked
with cemeteries. But the right men, their
names are too well known to need mention
here, took hold of the matter, caused walks
to be laid out, unsightly features to be re-
moved and grades established. Shortly, all
was completed, a keeper of the grounds
employed at a good salary and a house
built for his special use. The institution has
been well managed from the start, and the
picture which this once wild taste presents
to-day is very attractive to the living, and
were such a thing probable or possible,
pleasant for those of the household, who
have thus far made it their hiding place.
Trees have been set out which will in time
add to rlural beauty of the locality. Fine
views of the surrounding country are had
from the center of the ground which stands
fully fifteen feet higher than the roadway
in front. From a distance the cemetery
looks like a fine table land which it really
is, and as if to make its attractiveness com—
plete, nature has provided a stream of water
which pools along its pebbly bed the entire
length of the grounds. A picket fence
separates the ground from the street. This
fence is broken at the south end by the en.
trance gate. Among those 'in town who
have adopted Willow Brook, are Mrs. Chas.
Chapman, Mr. James Smibert, Mr. Sidney
Watts, Mrs. Joseph Fischer, Mr. E. M. Lees,
the Jesup family and Messrs. T. and J. E:
Lees, who have erected a splendid monu-
ment of Quincy granite. It is a work of
art and well worth studying. Mr. E. . S.
Downes and Mrs. Morris Ketchum who wil
cause the remains of her deceased husband
and members Of her family to be interred
there.
Mr. A; S. Hurlbutt the prime mover in
the cemetery cans; and to whose foresight
and judgment our people are indebted for
its success, has removed the remains of his
family thither, and will shortly erect a fine
monument, now in process at Westerly, R.
I., to be erected there. The sale of lots has
been large and continues. A brief descrip-
tion such as this is, can but inadequately
outline the beauties of Willow Brook. It
must be seen to be appreciated. _ Our peo-
ple are learning the lesson which this new
ground teaches, viz: “that diversity of opin-
ion in the matter 'of burying has tended to
multiply cemeteries in Westport, and that
it would have been far better years ago to
have united on one grand locality like Wil-
low Brook.”- 'l‘ime lost, of course cannot be
stored, and we can only improve our op-
portunities in this case ofiered,to do the best
we can for the future. PAUL.

A) few days ago the Silver Company re-

pieces of table ware, and within four hours
after the receipt of the order the goods were
packed and ready for shipment.
About twelve o'clock last Saturday night,
fire was discovered in a barn belonging to
Mrs. Ford, who resides on Barnum Street,
near the Summerfield M. E. Church. The
barn contained a large quantity of kindling
wood which together with the building was
totally destroyed. Had» the wind been
blowing from the west instead of from the
south, nothing Could have saved the church
from destruction. The fire was undoubtedly
of incendiary origin, gas no'person had been
near the barn with a light. Just as the fire
broke out, Mr. Jourdan the watchman at the
Silver Companys works saw two men
standing near the scene of the fire, but could
not as they were so far away, tell who they
were. There was some insurance on the
property, but not enough to cover the loss.

BRIDGEPORT.
The week has been with us comparatively
uneventful." Every thing is held in reserve
until Burnum‘s circus shall arrive.
calm before the storm. The quiet prepara-
tion for the battle. The Greeks reckoned
their time from the occurrence of the Olym—
pic games ; the Mohammedans date from the
flight of their prophet; Bridgeporters com—
bine the two ideas thus made prominent and
measure the year from the appearance of
their Propth bringing such amusements as
put the Olympic performances forever into
the shade. Sunday will he a sad day for our
ministry. In vain they may read “Some,
trust in horses and some in chariots ;” “He
dclightcth not in the strength of the horse;
' He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man,"
and other passages equally suggestive. The
light will kindle in the eye of their listeners
during the dryest part of the sermon; smiles
will wreathe their lips in its most pathetic
passages. The thoughts of the heart:
will be with "the own and only greatest."
It is believed that much of the Sunday night;
courting will be abruptly terminated at an
early hour that it may be resumed on the
following day under circumstances more
inspiring. We know a boy who was to
leave town on Saturday for two or three
days,but who strenuously persisted in staying
at home that he might “be here at Sunday
School.” Such devotion would have been
thought a most encouraging sign had not the
circus been expected so early on Monday
morning. Anticipation has nearly reached
its highest pitch. Many a family has arrived
at the heroic point of willingness to scrimp
for a month that it may receive the benefit of
“the great moral show." But we shall not
be alone. Fairfield county will empty itself
into Bridgeport on Monday. Our little city
will fairly bulge with visitors.

0n North Avenue, nearly a mile from the
centre of the city, lies the rude cemetery
“where the rude forefathers of the hamlet
sleep." The ground has been greatly neg—
lected except that a few families have cared
for the graves of their own ancestors. A
movement has recently been made looking
toward the pious work of putting the ancient
graveyard into a suitable conditon. A most
worthy thing'this, that might appropriately
he imitated by many a town that gives up
the resting place of its forefathers to the
snmach and the brier. In order to raise the
necessary funds for the purpose indicated,
apatriotic performance entitled the “Great
Republic” has been three times given this
week at the Opera House. About three
hundred. have engaged in it, about three-
fourths of them children from our schools.
The recitations and singing were excellent,
and the dramatic representation of the States
of the Union, (including the secession and
submission of the slave States) with the
marshalling of armies and the return of
peace was very effective. The old songs,
“Tramp, Tramp, Tramp,” &c.,and “Johnny
Comes Marching Home," struck a chord that
had almost ceased to vibrate. The attend-
ance was good and it is believed that qgite a
fund has been secured for the object proposed.
On Monday, the 26th, Mrs. Lucina Hatch—
kiss died in this city at the age of 76 years;
She: was the mother of Captain Walter S.
Hotchkiss, of the 2d Heavy Artillery of this
State. He died in December last and his.
mother has been falling from that time.
She was a woman of great energy and activity,
nnselfishly caring for the sick, and poor, and
neglected, brightening many a home with
'her pleasant smile, her kindly words and her
generous gifts. Brought up at the feet of
Dr. Lyman Beecher on Litchfield Hill. she
manifested through all the years a decided
outspoken faith. She was a most devoted
member of the Park street church in this
city. She rests from her labors and her
works do follow her. .

The Parallel Railroad.
The Milford correspondent of the New
Haven Palladium says : “The route for the
Parallel road [through the northern part Of
the' town, has not only been located, but
the right of way for the in st part negotiated
for. One stern Puritan, whose early train-
ing as well as his present sentiment, abhors
the running of trains on Sunday, has refused
to make terms for his land, where it is
proposed tocross, unless the new company
shall insert in the contract that no Sunday
trains shall ever he run. Whether the
company are ready to stand on this high
ground Of strict Sunday observance or not
is a question; at least they have not yet
signed the contract, and as it now stands
theta is a gap in the route. The proposed
route is about three—quarters of a mile north
of the New York and New Haven read: The
site for the depot has been fixed at a point
near the junction of North street and the
Orange road. If the road should go throhgh
and the depot be located at that point, it
will doubtless throw the center of the town
further to the northward. The double if”
in the case, however, has rather retarded the
rise in real estate in the vicinity.

I Mr. Simeon Tietsell, of Saugerties (formerly
of Kingston), N. Y., had been treated for seven
years by various physicians for what they
called Stricturc Of tho Urctha, without bene-
fit. He finally consulted Dr. David Kennedy,
of Readout, N. Y., who found his trouble to -
he URINARY CALCULI, or Stones in tho Blad-

bodies with the knife, and their gave his great

vent their reformation. The entire treatment
was eminently successful, and Mr. Tietsell’a
recovery was rapid and perfect. Had this and
similar cases used. Dr. Kennedy’s “Favorite

theformation of stone would. have been pre-
vented, and. thus avoided. so dangerous an

While Dr. Kennedy‘s “Favorite Remedy"
