The pious Solons who hold “to Senate still in deadlock, were only too glad to again adjourn from Thursday night over Good Friday till Monday noon. The whole week had been a dreary waste of warring words, enlivened by :m occasional burst of eloquent inventive on the, part of Dawes, but devoid of only two incidents or special interest and they mi about equal interest, Wednesday‘s debate Was spiced at the close of the day by an arrogant assault by Ben Hill upon M dun-m, which the wnspish Virginian re~ seated with thrillingr passion. Not quite regardless of senatorial proprieties the, irate Ma‘lonc dcl’icd Hill to his face and said “no one less than a coward would skulk behind lying inuendoes he dare not openly assert.” Then Don Cameron, losing his temper, jumped at Ben Hill and very saucily dc man'ded to know what he meant when he as- serted that no man on the Republican side could insult him. The whole performance was nothing for either side to be proud of in their cooler moments. But “peace hath her victories as well as war,” and next day, just as the dreary debate had reached its apex and driven more than a‘ quorum from the cham- ber, Barnum’s great steam calliope and steam working chime of bells stationed itself to the north east of the Senate Chamber and started up its advertising music in full steam power. As the noise filled the Capitol buildings and caught the earsof clerks, messengers, pages and laborers, a stampede was made for the windows and balconies, and “pity ’tis ’tis true," about half of the present both of senators deserted the hsll and cloak rooms to press their weary faces against the north side window panes. The greatest show on earth doesn't reach here till next week, and no one but the audacious Barnum would ever have thought of thus planting a musical battery right under the flying flag of: the American Senate Chamber, for the double purpose of advertising his show and to estop the raging war of words within and to prove to the na — tion the power of music to soothe the savage —Senator. The contest has practically developed into a canvass of the next fall’s Virginia state election, and so far as any signs are now ‘ discernable may last‘for weeks and possibly months to come. The Republicans contend they cannot in honor desert Mahone and the vital issue of the right of majorities to rule, and the Democrats vow they will not submit, and if worst comes to worst they intimate that they may desert the chamber and leave the body without a quorum. DEMOCRATIC ncoxour. The demorats .who pratcd so much about their economy, when they came into full power in both Houses of Congress, it. is now proved made appropriations in excess of any previous year. A statement showing the annual appropriations made by Congress for each fiscal year, from 1873 to 1881, inclusive, has just been prepared by the Treasury De— partment. The aggregate amount appropris‘ ted during the third session of the 46th Con- gress for the fiscal year of 1882 exceeds $177, 000,000. This is more than six millions greater than the appropriations made for any previous fiscal year. The next highest amount was appropriated for the fiscal year of 1879. The amounts in detail apprOpriated during the last session are as follows :—'—To supply deficiencies for the service of the va~ rious branches of the government, $5,095, 155 ; for legislative, executive and judicial expenses, $1,132,940 ; for sundry civil. ex- penses, $23,710,937; for support of the army, $26,687,800; for support of the navy, 314, 556,037; for the Indian service, 84,587,866; for rivers and harbors, $11,441,800; for forts and fortifications, $575,000; for support of military academy, $322,435; for Post Ofilce department, $2,152,258 ; for invalid and other pensions, $68,282,306; for consular and dip- lomatic service, $,191,435; f.or miscellaneous, $1,101, 512 (this appropriation will probhbly exceed the amount now stated. ‘~ AT ans'r. * The Senatorial Committee accompanying the remains of the late Senator Matt Car- penter, to Wisconsin, returned here on Wed- nesday. They report the weather as still severely cold and deep snow drifts every- where visible along the railroads west of the- Alleghanies. Senators Conkling and Logan seem to have attracted marked attention throughout the sad journey. The brief ad- dress of New York's great senator on surren- dering’the remains to the Governor Of Wis- consin, is everywhere spoken of as a perfect gem of terse comprehensiveness and reverent affectionate tenderness. It was in these words :— “Govsnxor. :9 Deputed by the Senate of the United States, we bring back the ashes of Wisconsin’s illustrious son, and reverently ' and tenderly return them to the great Commonwealth he served so faithfully and loved so well. To Wisconsin this pale and sacred clay belongs ; but the memory, the services, and the fame of Matthew Hale Carpenter are the Nation’s treasures, and long will the sister States mourn the bereave— ment which bows all hearts tc-day.” Surpassing-1y beautiful as are the thoughts and words, those who were present any the utterance was simply unapproachable, and the speakers own emotion swept the hearts of every lisrcuer with a pathos inexpressible. A journalist present writes :— “Senator Conkling, when rising to the height of an occasion like this,is the slatcliest and most impressive human figure the gener- ation has known." ' DR. CHILDB. Rev. Dr. T. S. Childs left Washington on Wednesday for Wooster, Ohio. He goes there to enter upon the duties of the Profes- sorship conferred upon him by the Theologi- cal University of Wooster. Before leaving, the people of 'the church he has been tempo- rarily supplying the past winter, called upon him in a‘body, at his residence, to express their great satisfaction with his ministrations here and to bid him adieu, The Doctor’s family will remain here at their residence on I street till the 1st of May. on. JonN MOLEAN. Dr. John McLean, who has been in prac- tice here for some time past; returned last eVening to Norwalk where he expects to spend the summer at the residence of his father. The Doctor while here has made some remarkable cures in heart diseases, ma- larial troubl nd diphtheria. He has paid special sttenit to a practical development Of his father’s life-long theories of the curative and stimulativc properties of the remedial drugs in common use by old school physi- cians which the Mc.Leans denominate “Mi- bropatby." While adhering to the regulars Dr. John has had the common sense business wisdom of putting his advegtiscmcnt in the newspapers as well as his professional notice on his door plate. He has been urged to do this not only by laymcnof common, every- day life, but by a medical gentleman of the regular school who has been cured of heart disease by Mc.Lcnn. and who knowing that he has been cured himself insists it is the duty of a doctor to let his curative ability be known as widely as poseiblc instead of hiding their professional light ( when they have any) under a bushel. As Dr. John has cut out of the nonsensical notion that It is "unprofes— sional for an old school doctor to advertisem the public may be expected to hear from him through the columns of the ans'rrn in ref — erence to specialties where his past success has left no doubt of his ability to effect cures. The Doctor takes the same sensible stand as to the practice of medicine and letting peo- ple know what cures can be effected that Whitfield did in rc’gard to music—that good people had no business to let the devil run away with all the best tunes in the world. PERSONALS. A. H. Bisscll, Esq., who became complete- ?) broken down by the mental anxiety and ...-erwork incident to his labors in,prcparing au-l securing the passage of the recently greatly amended postal law, has had another relapse and his physicians insist that he must ‘- lcavc Washington and abstain' from all exer- tion for several months to come, and he has in consequence applied, very reluctantly, for leave of abscncc till next fall, When his doc. tors assure him, it he will entirely rest he will be able to resume his responsible ofilce labors with good prospect of permanent re- covery of his health. His plans are not yet matured, but some portion of his summer vacation will undoubtedly be spent in Norwalk. , Ex-Gov. Jewell is expected here to-day. He comes over under the general head of “good and welfare” and-get himself into harmonious mastery of the political situation. ' Dr Robert,liuhbzu'dfib:mum II. Hubbard, A. S. .8ng5, and 11. P. Rhodes, of Bridge- p lt‘l, were here Thursday. The Hubbards have left forhomc. Secretary \V'iudom has uptiy'proved his ability to master the maturing bond question without an extra session of Congress. lion. 8. W. Kellogg, of Waterburyds here, audit is rumored will, before leaving for home, apply to the State Department for a German passport, with a purpose of joining his accomplished daughter now in Berlin. Connecticut‘s great showman, the Bridge- port and not the Limo Rock Barnum, arrived this morning. His steam calfiope, which came so near breaking the Senate dead-lock on Thursday, it is said will make the Na— tional Capital howl on Monday and Tuesday next, the days of his great exhibition. This afternoon Sir Edward Thornton, the British Minister, honored Mr. Barnum with a per- sonal call at his hotel, and before leaving sought out Mr. Barnum’s agent and purchas- ed forty tickets for his family and retinue of secretaries and servants. Sir Edward claims our Mr..Barnum as half an Englishman since his late marriage to one of the Queen’s sub- jects. F. D. Whiting and T. D. Merrill, of Hartford, and E. A. Chatfield, of New Haven, are also here. Mr. Whiting while here gave $25 for the local relief fund being raised to aid the sufferers by the terrible earthquake in “Scio‘s Rocky Isle.” As ever, ,___.....___.——- Easter Sunday. ' The sun shone warm and bright on Easter morning, and all nature rejoiced. Services appropriate to the occasion were held in the various churches, which vied with each other in the display of flowers, and the per- formance of fine music. In the evening Easter Sunday School concerts were held in most of the churches. At SLPaul's church in the morning the attendance was ‘very large, and the display of flowers was probablythc most elaborate and elegant ever made in the church on a similar occasion. ‘ The Easter Services, at St. Paul’s, as ren- dered by the choir, was nearly as follows : Prelude, Cornet Solo, “Dona Nobis Par-em , Mozart’s Twelfth Mass Easter Anthem, “Christ our Passover,” Rogers. Warren. Te Deum, in g, Hymn 98, “Christ the Lord is Risen to—day,” Williams. Trisagion,Greatorex, ’ . Postlude, Cornet Solo, “Cygus Animan,” . Stabat Mater, Rossini. EVENING. Anthem, “This is the Day,” Cornell. Gloria in Excelsis, \Coolidge. Cantata, Greatorex, Benedic, “Praise the Lord,’: Leach Introit, Easter Anthem, . Chapple. Postlude, Cornet Solo. The ccrnet was played by Edw. M. Jack- son, accompanied by Mr. S. S. Searing. The children’s service in the afternoon was also largely attended. A procession with banners, was formed, .and marched through the last entrance of the grounds around to the front gate and thence to the church,stopping at the tomb of the late Rev. Dr. Mead to decorate it with flowers. At the close of. the exercises Easter cards were distributed to the children. =23 Better Late that: Never. The venerable Dr. McLean, after a faith- ful tug at tobacco for over seventy years, and trying all that long period to convince his judgment that it didn’t injure him, has given up the contest, and abandoned the weed. The old Doctor says those who use tobacco in any form and try to persuade themselves it. causes them no injury, are like the Yan— kee who replied as to how much it had cost him to build his new house, “It cost me a great deal more than I expected and I knew it would all the time.” _.._A-s The Steamboat: The steamer Americas not being ready, the Adelphi came up to open the season, making the first trip down yesterday morn- ing. The weather now bids fair to be pleas- ant, and the sail on the boat will be very agreeable. The landings .and the hours of sailing are the same as last year. Mr. Ackert has charge of the stewards depart- ment as heretofore, and has inaugurated the season by reducing prices somewhat. He is untiring in his efforts to please, and passen- gers will find his saloon a great convenience ——especially those who desire to spend much time in the city. For full particulars read the steamboat advertisement and Mr. Ack- crt’s Curd. Captain Hclton, of the excursion steamer Columbia, is to be in. charge of the steamer until the opening Of the Rockaway season. He is a descrvedl y popular officer. _____..__—_.. Telephone Service. We find that the telephone service has been very greatly improved under the pres- ent management. Some features which were objectionable before have been done away with, and every effort is made to make the service entirely satisfactory to patrons. Com- munication with Stamford, or with South Not-walk or Winnipauk is perfectly satisfac- tory, distance being no obstacle whatever to the transmission of Sound. The young lady in charge of the Central Ofiice is ever atten— tive and obliging, and no manager could be more efficient and pains-taking than Mr. Gibson. Persons thinking of putting in the telephone need have no fear but that they will secure all reasonable service. We print elsewhere a correct list of Norwalk patrons. W Miss E. W. Greenwood, of Brooklyn, who has addressed large and appreciative audiences in this place, will deliver an ad- dress in the 2nd M. E.'church, Sunday, April 24th at 3 o’clock. We trust all who can will avail themselves Of the opportunity of hear: ing this talented speaker. A collection will be taken to defray the expenses of the meet- ing. W Thieves,——they can hardly be designated burglars,—forced an entrance into the base— ment of the store of Holmes 6:. Keeler, Wed- nesday night, and thence obtained entrance into the store, but did not succeed in getting away with any thing of special value. Petty thieving, however, is getting to be too com- mon here altogether, and amateur burglars ought not to be allowed to put our police force to shame. Mr. James S. Earle opened his new dl'y- goods store in Jamcs’s block, last Tuesday. He has had long experience in the business, here and in New York, and is sure that he can sell desirable goods as cheap as they can ladies at his new place of business. '———‘—-~~»—.«.~..—~——-——— Mr. Ackcrt announces that’ Roton Point will be open to the public about the middle of May or first of J one. As an evidence that he means busifiess it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that conveyances will run to the Point from the City Hotel, several times , daily, for the low price of twenty~fivc cents for the round trip. MO The sale of seats at St. Paul’s church, yes- terdsy, ’ucttcd about $2.000. As. usual some seats were unsold which will probably be taken by former occupants who were unable to be present at the sale. ' be found elsewhere‘; he would like to see the, New York Streets. . The streets of New York City, it seems, are not to be cleaned after all, and one agile great cities of the globe lies in the spring sun, a festering mass of corruption, waiting the summer to convert filth into pestilence. The charge has been made circumstantially by Republican and Democratic newspapers alike that “politics” are at the bottom of the failure to clean the‘ city’s streets. How true this may be we know not; the politics of New York State and city are, and always have been, a mystery past finding out. Only one thing is certain, very certain ; the streets are very dirty. The doctors, who, to do them scant justice, never fail to back the cause of the public health to the detriment depicted the condition of the streets in terms too emphatic to permit the possibility of a mistake. , Norwalk is forty miles from New York, but nevertheless every man in Norwalk, rich or poor, has a personal interest in this mat- ter. We can put up no bolts or bars at South Norwalk to keep out King Pestilence if in any shape he shalloncc effect a lodg- ment in New York City. There is not a home in Norwalk which is not directly in— terested in this matter of New York’s streets. Day after day the boats will run to and from New York, and the railroad will carry its thousands of passengers, a single one of whom, stepping off sick at South Norwalk, may begin a circle of disease which shall effect the country for miles before it finally dies away into nothing. Of course nothing which Norwalk could say would avail anything with the persons who control the destinies of New York City. If it is their pleasure that the streets shall remain dirty, dirty they must remain, and we, like all the other towns in communica- tion with the city, mud: bear the consequen- ces. But prevention to some extent is pos- sible, and for this we must look to that much- maligned class, our doctors. They only can tell us whether our ways and roads are clean, and advise us what to do for 'the summer. We therefore suggest the matter to their consideration. The Library Corporation. The annual meeting of the Corporation was "held at the rooms of the Gas Light Company on Saturday evening} last. The A. Hamilton, President; E. J. Hill, Charles E. St.John, Wm. H.

Hamilton, George B. St.JOhn, John S. Seymour, Miss Anna M. Smith, Miss C. E. Raymond, Book Committee. The Treasu— rer’s report shows a balance on hand. of $111.69, and all debts paid. The Society voted to hold a colossal fair and dramatic and musical festival at the earliest practicable day, for the benefit of the Library fund, and appointed the following efficient committee to take charge of it: Chairman, William H. Earle; Charles E. St.John, Dr. C. W. Many, John Arthur Osborn, Mrs. James G. Gregory, Mrs. T. H. Morison, Miss Anna M. Smith. The book committee is hard at work select- ing new books, and will probably havea new invoice of two hundred dollars’ worth on the shelves within two weeks.

John~ Entertainments. We were favored with an unusually large and good variety of entertainments last week, all of which were fairly patronized, although the weather was not quite what it should be to induce play-goers and pleasurc-loving peo- ple out to a large extent. On Tuesday evening we had at Music Hall a repetition of Hazel Kirke, which of course drew out a good audience in spite of unfavorable weather. and gave excellent satisfaction. ' Wednesday evening the ladies of thc’2nd M. E. Church gave one of their pleasing Tea Parties in the basement of the church. The event of the Week, however, was the concert of the Yale Glee Club, at Music Hall. on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately the very bad weather during the day had a ten- dency to keep many away, but a fair audi— a‘nce gathered and were richly repaid for their attendance in the fine renderitig of the college glees, solos and choruses by the well- trained voices of the young gentlemen com- prising this famous club. They well kept up the prestige gained so long ago by the club, and the Yale graduates present seemed doe lighted, refreshed and carried back again to “days Lang Syne” in listening to these re- miuders of their own college life. On Friday evening, at the Opera House, Callendat‘s Georgia Minstrels were greeted with a crowded house, and they deserved it, for their music was excellent, their songs good, jokes new, and best of all were of a moral and elevating tendency instead of the stale, double-entcndrcs of the old troupes. At Music Hall, both afternoon and evening and' also Saturday afternoon and .cvcning, Bunnell held delighted crowds,—hall filled to its utmost capacity,—with wonders from his New York Museum, consisting of the Sutherland family of long haired wonders, Miss Kingslaud, the woman magician, Till’s Marionettes, Zuius. the. The entertainment was a really good one, and the greatest won- der was how it could all be afforded for such a low price of admission, only ten cents. On Saturday evening there was alsoa good ten cent variety show at the Opera House, Prof. Bushneli’s, which is to continue, we understand, throughout the present week. On Friday evening of next week, Collier’s “Banker’s Daughter” is to be presented at Music Hall. We are assured that the com- pany is to be first-class in every respect and that it draws crowded houses everywhere. The celebration of Co. F’s anniversary is to be held at the Armory, Lockwood's Hall, on the evening of May 3d. The entertain- ment will open with a dress parade by the company, and close with dancing.

Special Meeting, Wednesday: EM, April-14. Called to order by the Warden, who stat- ed the object of calling a special meeting, was for the purpose of taking necessary steps for the purpose of authorizing the calling of a Borough Meeting to act upon the accept- ance of the amendments to the Borough Charter, recently passed by the Legislature. Saturday, the 23d of April was designated for such meeting at 2} o'clock, p. m. Communication: read fr0m Gen. J. W. Barlow, Engineer U. S. A., as regards the commercial statistics of Norwslk forythe last few years. Communication referred to Burgess'Smitb with powm' to engage a suit- able person to procure the estimates asked for. Chairman of Finance committee reported he had borrowed $1,500 from Norwalk Savings Society and paid interest on bonds held by Boston parties. Committee on Highway reported on mat- ter of extending Franklin Avenue through to Prospect Hill Road, that in their opinion it. ought to be done, and recommending the same. Voted that report be adopted and prayer of petitioners granted. Voted, that a proper notice be prepared and published, notifying the property hold- ers interested to meet and be heard thereon, at a special meeting, on Tuesday evening, May 3d. Burgess Brush made report on subject of Public Borough Scales, giving experience of borough of Danbury, in the matter, and re- commended the purchase of a five ton Fair- banks scale. Voted that the committee be empowered to purchase such scales at once. Voted to erect the same in front of Horse Railway Depot. A question was here asked by one of the Burgesses on the subject of the Borough advertising, if it had not been customary to insert the advertising the last year in two papers. Burgess Smith replied. that the matter had always been,_ he believed, left discretionary with the clerk and he moved it be left entirely with the. present clerk. Burgess Coolidge moved to amend ,by in- structing the clerk to get estimates from the several papers, and to award to tho lowut bidder. Burgess Smith rs-itsrsting that it had always been left with the clerk, and the clerk demurring to the proposal of sending him to the several offices as he was not on speaking terms with the proprietors of one of them, Mr J. B. Ells who was present to report proceedings for the GAZI’I‘TI, asked permission to call Burgess Smith’s attention back to the action usually taken by the former clerk in' the premises. Stating that in the four or five years he had reported the proceedings of the various court of bu rges- ses, Clerk Foote had almost invariably, when an advertisment had been ordered, asked the question as to what paper he~should in- sert it in. Burgess Smith did not remember, thought otherwise. Mr. Ells then stated that one year, acommittee had been appoint- ed to get estimates from the several papers published in the Borough alto what they would do the Borough advertising, etc., for, and on that committee were two of the present board, viz : Messrs. Price and Smith, that this committee got estimates, figured thereon, and reported in favor of the Gimme, as giving the most satisfactory rates, and thereupon the board of that year, voted that the advertising be given to the Guru] for the year. . Burgess Coolidge asked Mr. Bill several questions,whcn the’warden thinking it might lend to a discussion of outside matter, called him to order, but on burgess Coolidge show- ing that ho was strictly in' order, the warden allowed him to proceed. Burgess Price here confirmed the statement made by Mr. Ells about action of the prev- ious board to which he had referred. The clerk‘thcn read an extract from the charter and propounded a query which Mr. Ells proceeded to answer, when Burgess Smith moved to lay the whole subject on the table, which the warden hastily put and de- clared carried; Burgess Smith than instantly moved to adjourn, which was also as sum- marily handled. .. -—-__=—---==== Both of Comstock Brothers stores attract- ed mnch attention on Good Friday on ac— count Of the beautiful manner in which their show windows were decorated with natural flowers combined with furnishing goods and other articles of sale.

M.»—* A Jan Summon—The law would soon become contemptible if its officers could venture to shield culprits for friendship’s sake,- or at the demand of some secret brotherhood. The following is very sugges- tive to those who think to profit by favorism when tried for their ill deserts. Some young men, having “cut up” one night to the det- riment of certain windows and beleulls, were lodged in the calaboose, and in due time next morning, confronted before a po- lice magistrate, who fined them five dollars each as an admonition. One of these foolishly remarked, "Judge.I was in hopes you would remember me. I belong to the same lodge." The judge. apparently surprised,replicd with brotherly sympathy, “Ah! is it so? Truly, this is Brother ! Excuse me for my dullness. Yes, we are brothe masons, and I should have thought of that. Mr. Clerk, fine our brother ten dollars.
