Remarkable.
One of the most remarkable things result—
ing from the present dry season is the fact
that most of our farmers were entirely
through their haying and many through their
harvesting before the end of June. A similar
instance is unknown to the oldest inhabitant.

_ Last Saturday was the anniversary of the
rebel onslaught upon the Union Forces at
Gettysburg, and the day that ‘Gen. Hancock
was so seriously wounded by the same would
“be destroyersoof, the government. who now,
so loudly pratc his praise. With what sus-

must look upon these loud-mouthed pratings

A Chance for an Important -
Improvement.
We trust, after the insurance adjusters
settles the losses upon the two burned build-
ings, our Borough authorities will cause some
equitable bargain to be made with the prop—
erty holders whereby - the new line of_ dock
now started by Col. F. St. John Lockwood
may be finished in a due line westward to
the mouth of the Norwalk river, and that
upon such foundation,new buildings of brick
or iron shall be erected and their front line
be a true line from the east corner of Mitch-
ell's Market Building to the front of Lock-
wood’s store. By such a change all the
eastern side . of our pinched and narrow
Bridge can be practically doubled - in width,
and the public necessities demand that the
present chance to enlarge the crossing area
of the Bridge should not be permitted to
pass unimproved. ~
P. S.—-Wc are glad to know that a peti—
tion looking to the consummation of the
above suggestions is, already in circulation.
Our police should be on hand at every
arrival of' the steamboat. A lot of unman—
uerly youths are in the habit of crowding
the docks and making such observations as
none but the lowest black-guards would use,
about the lady passengers, as they press
their way ashore. Their conduct became
so disgracefully unbearable Saturday night,
that Judge Craw loudly denounced them
and threatened the young scamps with arrest
if they did not desist.

The pupils of Mrs. F. W, Perry's Kinder-
garten School, on Elm street, held a public
reception on Thursday evening last.' The
parents and friends present were evidently
much pleased with the exercises, which were
of peculiar interest. Recitations, Dialogues
and songs adapted to young children were
given, and selections of a higher character
were well rendered by the older pupils. One
scriptural piece entitled “The Temple of
Life.” in which the colors, precious. stones
and virtues were represented by the children,
blending in ‘ a beautiful panorama, the
harmony of motion and song with color, was
specially noticeable. German having been
taught anduscd in songs and games daily,
the children readily expressed their meaning
to those who listened to them. A Cantata of
“Birds” closed the Exercises, gracefully
singing a “good bye" to kind friends, —-

Wind for the Campaign.
Our contemporary of the Democrat, know.
ing that all well regulated printing ofiices
require an outfit of old fashioned family
bellows, to blow dust from the type cases,
sent his order for a pair to aNew York
dealer. It so happened, the city dealer had
seen the Democrat and saw how fearfully its
editor was exhausting his wind on the
Hancock “boom" and appreciating Mr.
Palmer's needs, sent up a pair, such as be
supposed would be equal to the necessities
of the impending campaign. Judge of the
astonishment of our neighbor, when he saw
a two horse truck backed up to his office,
last week, and with a derrick in position,
attempting to unload upon him a pair of
two horse power blast furnace bellows. The
consignment-was at once reshipped to New
York, else we should have been in constant
peril .of Hancock blizzards, cyclones and
windy blasts generally. '
' O
Some of the ice dealers in this city have
made inquiries as to what Mame we will
cost when their supply gives out and have
discovered that it will be worth six dollars a
ton in‘ Maine. When the wastage and
freight are added the cost will be greatly
increased and prices must be correspondingly
higher to the consumer here.— ridgcport

FIRE !
The Lockwood and Merrill Buil—
ings Destroyed.
An alarm of fire was sounded by the po-
Ece at a quarter to three this morning,which
was almost instantly responded to by our
vigilant firemen. The first discovery was of
dense volumes of smoke issuing from the
rear basement of the William S. Lockwood
building, followed by flames shooting up and
'out of the roof.
building was soon involved, but there was
time to remove a good portion of the stock
before the building was practically destroyed.
Mr. Merrill had on insurance of $1,000 on
his building, $500 on dock which was not
damaged, and some $1,600 on his stock,
which will about half cover his loss. The
Lockwood building was occupied by S.
Spiro as a clothing store, and by P. F.
Sheehau & Co. as a cigar and tobacco mau-
factory. Mr. S. claims, to have had about
$2,000 in stock on hand with an insurance
of $1,200. Shchan claims a stock of $1,200
in tobacco and cigars and $900 insurance.
The second story of Lockwood‘s building
was occupied by Dr. Bennett as a dental
ofiice, but his effects were all saved by the
determined efforts 'of the firemen As the
same premises Were fired not many months
ago, and this fire was so clearly of incendia-
ry origin, it was a current joke among eye
witnesses that ready made clothing and
tobacco had become alarmingly inflammable.
The fact that such a suspicion seemed to be
generally entertained, will no doubt lead
Mr. Spiro and Messrs. Shchan Ni Co. to de—
that they may be cleared of the imputation
of being in any way cognizant of the origin
of the fire. The losses upon both buildings
seem to be about total. The morning was
lowcry, adjoining buildings were well ‘wet-
ted down by the previous night'g rain and
there was no wind, else we might have had a
very serious conflagration. It could hardly
have occurredvat a more favorable time for
the safety of all the business portion of the
Bridge.
The old GAZETTE more than a half century
ago, occupied the upper portion of the then
Capt. Pcnnoyer building burned this morn-
ing, and some thirty and more years ago it
occupied the upper story of the'Wm. S.
Lockwood building adjoining, and \which
was also destroyed this morning. ,’

night, but fortunately did net succeed in

much.
YALE Vrcromous.—The annual Yale—
Harvard race at New London, Thursday,
resulted in a handsome victory for Yale.
Much of the credit is undoubtedly due to
the skillful “coaching” of the crew by Fred.
Wood, of this place. It was an eight-oared
boat race over a four mile course; Yale 24
minutes, 27 seconds; Harvard 25 minutes, 9

'l‘he States Attorney.
On last Wednesday the Judges met at
Bridgeport, to appoint a States Attorney for
this County, and selected Hon. Samuel Fes—
senden, of Stamford. Although" Mr. Fes—
sendeh disagrees with us politically, we'do
not hesitate to say that no better selection
could have been made. He is a lawyer of
excellent attainments, a forcible and eloquent
speaker, an honest man, and in every respect
a gentleman that will do honor to the office.

We shall have to be very chary how we
endorse what our neighbor says between now
and November, but in the above case, we
must say that we know every word of its
statement to be true.
could have been made.
The Republican National Committee has
chosen the Hon". Marshall Jewell for its chair-
man. The chairman of the National Commit-
tee, is also chairman for the Executive Com—
mittee, which has almost absolute powers in
the management of the canvass. On the
shoulders of the Hon. Marshall Jewell, there-
fore,will fall a good deal of hard work between
now and November, and a good deal of re-
sponsibility, but no clear headed, sensible
man doubts but that his arduous labors, will
becrowned with success at the .end of the
Garfield and Arthur campaign.
The Seawanhaka disaster was horrible and
cast a gloom over the entire country. The
same day thirty fatal cases of sunstroke werc
reported in New York city alone, to say
nothing of the many cases which were not
fatal but which will be sure to cause the
victims untold agony in years to come. Ac-
cidents are concentrated horrors which send
a shudder through humanity and causes the
adoption of fresh precautions. The heat of
summer, than almost any other cause, and
yet ordinary mortals act as if they were real-
ly ashamed to take any precautions against
the deadly rays of the sun. .
m
The wicked boys staid up all night on the
4th iu‘ordcr to enjoy their fill of mischief.-
They roamed the streets with the general idea
that the meaning of independence was uni-
versal license. In the city limits they worked
industriously in carting the flag stones from
the walks and depositing them on the horse
car tracks. On West avenue, and at other
points, they tore off gates and carted them
around the neighbbrhoo'd, and even went so
far as to smash four or five of the handsome
glass“ tops on the street lamps. Warden
Hyatt now wants them to walk up to the
Captain’s office and settle. Certainly they
should be severely punishcd'for such wanton
destruction of public property.
The Narragansett and Stonington on the
Sound, the Anchoria and the Queen 150
miles off Sandy Hook, the Grand Republic
and the' Adelaide off Leroy street, North
River, the Seawanhaka off Randall’s Island,
the Long Branch in East River—all within
sixteen days, prove the necessity of more
vigilance and better appliances for safety in
'our passenger carrying vessels. There should
be better protection against fire on all our
steamers. Then how easy it would be to
have a series of floats, easily detachable,
hanging to the guards all about a steamboat-
These could be cast off instantly and with
side ropes, be made to support a dozen per—
sons each in the water. Then why may not
a steamers boats be swung out the moment
she leaves the dock, in instant readiness to
drop into the water, as is done on all English
steamboats. Above all, let every traveler,
before entering boat or car, resolve to “keep
his head” and act with composure in event of
accident or in any emergency. Every prec-
ibus life might have been saved on the Sea—
wanhaka had all the passengers acted with
half the coolness and bravery of' the noble
captain. In jumping from a steamer hear in
mind never to leap in front of the wheel,
when any. other course is possible. The
under its wheels and either, kill or disable
him. Greater care in construction; greater
caution in managing passenger boats, and.
greater self-control on the part of passengers,
will greatly reduce the number of these ter-
rible disasters.

The attendance at the
Center District meeting last Wednesday
evening was very large, including some who
attended out of curiosity—perhaps to see
how well such meetings are conducted in
this land of steady habits. The meeting
was called to order by clerk Hubbell, and
M. S. Craw, Esq., was called to the chair.
The formality of authorizing the :committee
to borrow money for the payment of current
expenses was gone through with, when the
real object of the meeting was broached at
once—a vote being offered by T. S. Stout,
in writing, instructing the committee to
engage Henry Chasmar as Principal for the
ensuing year, and to pay him a salary of
$1,000. .Excitement was at white heat at
once, and the. moderator was sorely taxed to
keep a moderate degree of order. Mr. J. F.
Foote then moved as an amendment, that
the matter be left entirely with the district
committee. This was instantly met with a
motion to lay the amendment on the table.
Here was a'chancc for three ballots before
the final settlement of the question, and the.
first ballot was watched anxiously :as a test
of strength. It resulted in a verdict of “No”
by over twenty majority, and virtually set—
tled the entire matter. Then, the excitement
continuing. the amendment was carried 94 to
80. The final vote resulted in a still larger
majority, and the meeting adjourned; ‘
A meeting of the committee was subsc-
qucntly held at which a unanimous vote was
passed to engage the present Principal for
the ensuing term. _

The seawanhaka Horror.
As we were running ofi our edition last
week Monday night, rumors reached us of
another horrible accident on the; East River,
near New York. The telegraph offices were
all closed and we were unable to obtain any
reliable news in time for that issue. ‘Later,
however, Mr. Lewis Green, son of Hiram
Green, arrived and‘ fully‘ confirmed'there -'
ports. The Seawanhaka, noted for speed,
left New York for Glen Cove, about 4 o'clock.
Coming through Hell Gate the vessel was dis-
covered to be on fire near the engine—room.
The engineer was driven from his post at-
most immediately, and the vessel continued
on at full speed. The captain remained at
his post in the wheel-house and steered the
vessel past Ward’s Island to Sunken Mead—
ows near, where she grounded. As the boat
was passing Ward’s'Island__many of the fran-
tic passengers wcfeirivcn overboard by the
heat of the flames. Many in the bow jump-
ed over after the vessel struck, and were
were many small boats near at hand, and yet
although the land was close by thirty or for-
ty lives were lost;
Among the passengers were Messrs. Carmi
Hubbell, Postmaster Olmstead’s assistant,
and Lewis Green, cousins, who left Norwalk
that morning to pay a short visit to friends
on Long Island. They became separated,
but both jumped oucrboard and succeeded in
reaching the shore in safety. Mr. Green
came home on the cars that night and report-
ed having seen his cousin reach the shore.
Mr. Hubbell remained in the city all night,
and was under the impression that his com—
panion had been drowned. Fred. Banks, of
this place, who was reported missing by the
New York papers, was not on. board.
_.___._—.
It is hardly possible to say too much in
praise of the heroic and judicious conduct of
Capt. Chas. P. Smith, of the steamer Seawau-
haka. When he found his vessel was afire,
he laid his course directly for the nearest shal-
low water where she could be beached in such
a manner that the passengers on board would
have the best chance of safety; and although
the flames became thick and hot around the
wheel-house where he stood, and he himself
the act was accomplished—N. 1’. Sim.
Amen, will heartily respond the whole civ-
ilized world.

Dr. Chllds’ Lectures.
Dr. Childs’ sixth lecture in Unitarian Hall,
Hartford, was delivered Sunday" morning,
J unc 13th.. These lectures are delivered at
the invitation of the pastor and members of
the Unitarian church, and present the ortho-
dox view of certain great questions that
have been ably discussed during the past
Winter by Mr. Kimball from the Unitarian
point of view. .The discussion has been
conducted with the utmost good feeling on
both sides, and has been fully reported in
the Hartford Times. We have been indebted
to Dr. C. for copies of his very able and in-
teresting discourses, and must be allowed to
express the hope‘that when the discourses
are completed they may be published in book
form for a wider reading and a better
preservation. The questions now so engross-
ingly occupying the minds of men as to the
Divinity or mere Brotherhood of Christ, are
certainly most exhaustingly treated by Dr.
Childs in these lectures.

A newspaper, moralizing upon the present.
canvass, judiciously observes: "The issue
is not between Garfield and Hancock. It is
between Republicanism and Democracy.”
This is about the‘wisest remark which we
have seen upon the subject. This, after all
is not a contest between man and man. The
'point 'to be decided is, whether the Demo—
cratic. party, after‘ having steadily opposed
the Republican policy, particularly and in
detail, for years; after having been sub—
stantially upon the Southern side during the
rebellion: after having set: its face against
every rational plan of reconstruction ; after
prolonged faction and partisanship constantly
verging upon 1. ' ason‘, shall now be put in
full possession o the Government. Hancock
may be an angel in epaulets, but he is the
candidate of this party. His election will
give it power. His defeat will send it back
to the same place to .which the people have
over and over again consigned it. No Re-
publican who has been such because he be-
lieved the Republican party to be a safeguard
of the Republic will trust the Democracy

The arrival of the little steamer Anthracite
at St.John's, N. F., aftér a trip of eighteen
days from London, is regarded as making a
most satisfactory test of a new steam engine
which is expected to revolutionize the ocean-
marine. During the long and somewhat
rough trip, only twenty tons of coal were
used and 431 gallons'ofwater. The new sys-
tem, the inventiOn of Mr. Loftns Perkins,
consists of a tubular ,boilerin which the steam
is generated at ,8 very high pressure and is
used overjml OVeragain. The steamer is to
proceed at once 120 New York, where it is
expected to attract the attentionof engineers
and capitalists, and resultfinaily in very
greatlyfredncing the expenses of ocean .navi—
gation. ' .

A timorous lady in Providence, whois al—
ways looking runder‘the bed for a man, went
to the post office the other day with a friend
to buy some postage stamps. As they stood
there one of them‘noticed a man standing
close by, but she didn’t think he looked sus~
picious until afterward. She ordered what
stamps she wanted, and taking her pocket-
book from a Chatelaine by her side, she paid
for them, and stepped to the opposite desk
to attach them to letters. In -s moment
more she went back.in a very excited .man-
ner and inquired for “that man .who stood
here.” He had gone. “Welt," said she,
“he has taken my pocket book and all there
is in it,” and she- pointed ruefully to the
open,_ empty Chatelaine, “How much money
was in it, asked the clerk. She was either
too excited to tell or for some reason didn’t
wish. to do 50. “What’s that in your hand ?"
inquired the clerk.' Looking at the hand
designated, she replied, “0 Lord! that’s it.”

The democrats have the jollicst sort of
way of electing their President before the
votes are counted. If we remember cor-
‘tcctly that portion of the party centering
about Norwalk, not only elected Mr. Tilden ,
but went so far as to parcel out the Post Of-
fice, the tide waiter, the light house and
other civic appointments among the faithful.
The letter an over-enthusiastic brother sent
to Mr. ex-Scnator Barnum and which pur-
ported to have slipped from his c'oat tail
pocket, will be remembered. The quarrel
was lively. but the appetites for office, after
20 years fasting, was necessarily ferocious.
We shall doubtless have a similar circus re-
enacted, but it will all be prior to the 4th of
March.
At the Yale Commencement the class of
1830 had their semi-centennial reunion. Three
of the graduates in this class were from
Norwalk, viz: Reverends S. B. S. Bissell,
Melancthon Iont and Benjamin Lockwood.
There were 69 in all—a small class, it having
been in the "Bread and Butter Rebellion" of
1828. But it has been an honored class:
having one College President (Chancellor
Barnard) three college professors—two,(Stan-
lcy, deceased, and Loomis) in Yalc,——one
judge of the supreme court of Maryland,
(Hammond), and one judge of the U. S.
Supreme Court in New York, (Woodruff, of
Litchfield),—two members of Congress, one
Foreign Ambassador. Four have received
the degree of S. T. D., and six of L. D. D.
Of the 29 survivors of the class, 13 were
present at the reunion. Their youthful
appearance was noticed among the allumni.
The class 9f 1820 had four representatives,
among them Revs. Dr. Bacon and Woolsey.

The Syracuse Morning Standard of. July
1st, in giving an account of the ninth annual
Commencement of the Syracuse University,
says of our townsman, “Rev. A. F. Beard,D.
D., of Plymouth church, in this city, deliv-
ered the very able address on the subject of
the ‘Constructivcness of Thought,” which
will be found on an inside page of this morn-
ing’s Standard. Notwithstanding the deep
philosophical character of the address, it was
listened to with marked attention. The
doctor’s argument against materialism was a
strong one."
The Seawanhaka Explosion.
The cause of the disaster to the Glen Cove
steamer on Monday of last week, has thus
far been shrouded in such mystery that' we
have been to the pains to obtain the opinion
from one who has given much attention to
the subject matter of boiler explosions, and
the following are the sensible, and indeed,
plausible suggestions furnished us of the
probable cause of the “gas explosion” refer—
red to by the fireman and others on that ill-
fated boat :
The passengers of the “Seawanhaka” say
she was not racing with the “Sylvan Dell."
They had been in company up the river, but
just previous to the “accident.” they parted
company. A fireman says he had been in
the oil room,passed up stairs d saw another
fireman watching the steam gauge, that the
pressure should not go above thirty-four
pounds,right after that the accident occurred.
The engineer says he went to shut off the
steam jet and saw flames gush out from
under the boiler and around the boiler door.
People on the river say a dense black smoke
was vomited from the smoke stack followed
by flame. The “Sylvan Dell" is a fast boat
and has a racing reputation. Firemen don’t
sit down deliberately to watch steam gauges
unless there is a little business on hand. A
bunch of old waste saturated with kerosene
would strike many firemen as a good thing
to make steam fast and plenty of it. A steam
jet is used to force the draft and it would be
prudence on the part of the engineer to sh ut
it: off j net after getting through a race.

The Sentinel goes into the Presidential
contest after the manner of Midshipman

The “solid South” has but 138 of the 360
Electoral votes. Of Northern States, New
York has 35; New Jersey, 9; Connecticut,
6; Indiana, 16; Oregon, 3; California, 6.
To elect, 185 votes will be necessary. This
gives the democrarcy an apparent advantage,
but a. “solid South” is just as sure to make
a“lo;val north” and thus victory is most likely
to porch of the Garfield ticket.
