The President’s 00ndll10n. .
For some days past the surgeons in atten-
dance 'upon the President have undoubtedly
been suspicious, from his high 130130 3nd
temperature. that another abscess was form.
ing. The official report of his condition up
to this Monday morning. was no doubt hon—
estly cpitomised in the following statement
of the Tribune :— .
President Garfield’s condition‘continues to
,be satisfactory to his physicians. .Thoy were
not at all troubled by the increase in his pulse
and the rise in temperature yesterday, regard-
ing these oft-recurring symptoms, no doubt,
as the result of the heat and of weariness.
His a tits is d and he sleeps soundly
withoiiipfhe aid ofgfiorphia or other anodyne.
At nine a. m., however. the telegraph in-
forms as that another incision was made,
another abscess successfully tapped and that
the pus was flowing freely and healthfully
from the new opening and that in consequence
of the relief thus afiorded the President’s
condition was decidedly improved. Hi!
removal from the malaria sticken White
House, has also been determined upon, to be
carried out at the first opportune moment.
The prayers and hopes of the people will
still abide withand sustain him, in his grand
and heroic struggle for recovery.
WHY THE OPERATION WAS PER-
FORMED.
Ofiicial Bulletin.
' Exsourrvn MANSION. 10:30 a. m.--It hav-
ing become necessary to make a further op-
ening to facilitate the escape of the pus, we
took advantage of the improved condition of
the President .:.this morning. - Shortly after
the morning bulletin was issued he was
ctherized. ‘ '
The incision extended downward and for
ward, and a counter Opening undo into the
track of the ball below the margin of the
twelfth rib, which it is believed will eflect
the desired object.
He bore the operation well,bas‘now recov-
ered from the effects of etherization, and is
in excellent condition;

A Chance for our Board ofTrade.
That our local Board of Trade have not
thus far succeeded in inducing any particu-
lar manufacturing corporation . or business to
settle among us is perhaps more due to a
want of some really practical plan of opera-
tions than want of either especially eligible
vldcation or earnest co-operation on the part
of this business promoting organization. Mr.
Joseph Shepherd has given us the details of
y a personal project of his own, which for
thoroughly practical common sense, we
think. has not yet been equalled. He is in
a situation to know the wishes and desires
of a large number of the working force of
shoemakers employed by the Messrs. Cous—
ins, and who recently against their interests
and wishes were forced to New York with
the removal of the Cousins' Shoe Manufacto-
ry. Large numbers of the best of this
working force left their families, acquaint-
ances, relationships and property interests
here and hereabouts, and would gladly avail
themselves 'Of any reasonable opportunity of
returning again to Norwalk. Several among
this corps of workingmen are well fitted by
experience and ability to conduct the details of
of such a manufacturing establishment, but
they lack the necessary capital. Mr. Shep-
herd’s plan is for every busingss man or firm
in the borough to subscribe $100 in stock
for the immediate organization of a (lo-ope-
rative Shoe Factory. This will aggregate a
capital sufilcient to start the factory and
cause the almost instant return here of the
two to three hundred operatives who have
reluctantly left us, to follow the Messrs.
Cousins to New York. Such an army of op-
eratives would at once bring back to us with
theirfamilies, not less than from threeto five
hundred souls to be fed and clothed,:and to
,add to the general growth and prosperity Of
our beautiful town. We trust a meeting of
the Board of Trade will be called immedi-
ately to take action on a proposition promis-
ing so sure and gratifying return to the hu-
siness men and people of our Borough, for
the project is most sensible and practical,
.and ought not to be delayed an hour in its
consummation.

Camp Meetings.
The Methodist Camp Meeting atBrookside
Park, opened yesterday, and continues
through the week. Special rates prevail on
the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad. The
weather promises to be remarkably fine. '
More Improvements.
The spirit of public as well‘as of private
improvement on the Wes'tport road seems to
have become amost gratifying contagion,
and we hope to see it still further spread.
Mr. Addison Brownhas constructed out of .
the former plain and unpretentious edifice
- overlooking Peat Swamp, a 'most commo-
dious arid attractive cottage, a sort of unity
between the Swiss and Queen Ann styles of
summer shore house architecture. He has
also wallcdaud excavated and graded for a
good walk and roadway about and. in front of
his showy place. Mr. J. F. Roscoe is also
entitled to much praise for the good work of
improvement he has wrought in front of his
pretty place. Let the good work go on.
A Sexton Sufi'ocates Himself.
Our jolly friend “Sam" Johnson, and oth-
er local sextons have a terrible warning and
“frightful example," in the case of the sexton
of the Fourteenth St., N. Y., Presbyterian
Churc , who wits found dead in his church
last Sunday,from sufocatr'on. Every window
and door was fouud to be hermetically
closed as is usually the case in our church's
here in Norwalk. What a warningis‘ this to
all church sextons to occasionally ”drop a
window, open a door, or lift a 'ventilatOr, so
that poor suffering humanity may get an, ce-
easional breath of the pure air of heaven, with
their heavenly ministratidhs, while at church.

ing. He reports “The boys" as having all
the fun they can possibly bear up under.
How Clark effected his escape, under such
circumstances, is a mystery.

ported to have been, stunned by. a stroke of

Imported Jerseys.
Mr. Wm. R. McCready, of Compo, recent-
ly purchased in the Island Of Jersey eight
head of premium cattle. There were seven
cows and one heifer. They arrived in New
'York by steamer from England last Wednes-
day. They were in padded stalls, and in
care of an experienced herdsman who came
across the ocean to care for his pets. Under
the new rules of the American Jersey Herd
Club, all imported animals of that breed are
required to have metal tags in their ears,
chain and padlock on their necks, with an
English custom house certificate of shipment
which seal and record must be verified by the
American customs officers. This peculiar but
very proper toggery give the pretty strangers
a very odd and truly foreignappcarauce. On
Friday Mr. McCready had the Norwalk pro—
peller haul beside the ocean steamer and his
treasures transhipped on board the City of
Norwalk,which arrived here during the night.
Early on Saturday morning they were laud-
ed and driven to Mr. MeCready's charming
country seat at Saugatuck. Mr. McCready
is reticent as to the amount of the fortune
invested in these bovine treasures, but it is
estimated that their entire cost will range
from seven to ten thousand dollars. A gen-
tleman who lets his love and enthusiam for
an unrivaled breed of cows (for milk, cream
and butter.) run so high as to pay $730 for a
calf only 20 days old, is not likely to hesitate
in the use of liberal means, hen striving to
secure representatives of the highest butter
producing animals to be found on their na-
tive heaths in the Jersey Islands of “merrie
England."

Clothing Manufactory.
The clothing manufactory of Mr. H. B.
Rodgers, which has its headquarters at New
Canaan, is a very much larger establishment
than we had supposed. We knew that the
large varied stocks sold by the Comstocks
here and at South Norwalk, and that several
drummers and wagon peddlers were perambu-
latiug the country and selling their goods,
but we were not aware that so enormous a
trade had been built up by the dilligence and
patient enterprise of Mr. Rodgers, as our
eyes witnessed on a recent visit to their
workshops and warehouses. ‘ Mr. Rodgers
occupies two of the largest buildings in New
Canaan Village for storing his cloths, accom-
modating his cutters and storing his manu-
factured garments. His cloths after being
received, examined and measured, are
“sponged” by steam power,then placed upon
the cutting tables, the sizes marked OE and
piece after piece put to the slaughter of the
shears. Generally, one hundred garments of
a size are out at a time. These are duly sup-
plied with all requisite “trimmings," then
recorded aud distributed among the several
hundreds of professional tailors and sewing
women scattered all about the town and sur-
rounding country. This li-fe-giving stream
of remunerative labor permeates the Canaan-
itish regions as thoroughly as did the Old-
time boot and shoe interests of that once
“hide" bound town. In addition to the
wagons canvassing stores interior and away
from railroad stations, and his numbers of
commercial travelers, Mr. Rodgers has re—
cently established headquarters or general
agencies in the cities of Baltimore and
Washingtou,and although the competition in
ready made clothing is greater and prices are
lower in these two cities, probably, than any
other places in the United States, the new
enterprise has already more than proved
successful. The reason is obvious. Mr. Rod.
gers aims to make all his garments as near
“custom” work possible, and he thus fills a
nich between the expensive customs tailor
work and the cheap-John goods of the ordi—
nary Hebrew styles, make-up and quality.
His total sales last year approximated nearly
a half-million of dollars, and he is now doing
a larger trade than in any previous year.
Our Churches.
The frequent showers on Sunday caused a
very slim attendance at our churches.
Rev. Geo. L. Fuller occupied the pulpit of
the 2nd M. E. Church on Sunday last.
Rev. Mr. Wilson, Of New London, preach-
ed in the Baptist church, last Sunday.
’ Rev. Dr. Spencer returned home last week
and occupied his own pulpit on Sunday.
Rev. Hemau H. Barbour preached at the
First Congregational Church on Sunday last,
morning - and evening. The pastor will
preach next Sunday.
The Rev. Mr. Lloyd, of N. Y., is expected
to preach in the Congregational church, 80.
Norwalk, next Sabbath, Aug. 14.
The Clam Bake.
About forty Odd Fellows participated in
the clam bake at the GrOve House, Down
Town last Thursday evening. Mrs. Sholcs
seems to have succeeded in pleasing them as
well as usual with chowder, roast clams, etc.
The heat was oppressive and had a depress-
ing influence upon many of the silver tongued
orators of the Lodge.
The hot wave that extended over the en-
tire North last week, was simply fearful.
The mercury indicated from 90° to 108°
for several. days. On one day it was report-
ed at 102° in New Hampshire and under
80° in Georgia. Here in Norwalk the heat
commenced moderating Friday night when
there was a very severe thunder shower, the
rain falling in torrents. - Saturday morning
there was another shower of equal severity
and that night and on Sunday there were
several more. Monday morning was clear
and; the air quite fresh and cool.
The Parallel Railroad.
' There was no hearing before the Railroad
Commissioners, in Norwalk, last week, as
proposed, an adjournment having been made
to allow the petitioners to. make certain
changes and alterations as stated in the report
of the hearing at New Haven which will be
found in another column.
Humpty Dumpty.
This ever-welcome pantomime is to be
given at Music. Hall, next Monday evening,
together with straps-Atlantic Novelty Com-
bination. The Jay Rial Uncle Tom's Cabin
Company which played here last winter was
unusually good, and his Humpty Dumpty
troupe claims to be equally good. The
prices are very low, being only 35 cents for
a secured seat. The Toledo Blade pronoun-
ces it'the best Humpty Dumpty pcrfomauce
ever given in that city. See adv. . ‘

The Repuban is authority for the state-
ment that the Qty Council, last week Mon-
day evening, voted to build a wooden box to
connect the east end of the Washington St.
sewer with the channel “at an expense not to
exceed $125,000.” We presume the com-‘
mittee will find that amount quite sufficient,
The same paper also
states that ' “It takes seventeen hours and
thirty minutes to go from Danbury to Boston
via. the new railrow." Can it be possible
thateven the Republican is not infanbie ?

The New York, New Haven and Hart-_
Brookside Park Musical Festival
A few weeks since some members of the
Georgetown Congregational Church, having
an eye to the pleasure and profit of the
Society, suggested the rather novel idea of
an open-air musical festival. The proposal
met with the hearty approval of the Society,
and they man and womanfully went to work
to make the festival a success—and a success
it has been, both pleasurable and profitable,
far beyond their most sanguine expectations.
The place chosen for the festival was Brock-
side Park, and a place more suitable or more
beautiful for the purpose can scarcely be
_conceived, for its century’s growth of forest,
its lake and brook which nearly encircle the
forest, its noble pavilion, and its varied at—
tractions-render this park one of the most
charming pleasure resorts imaginable.
Thursday last, the day of the festival, was
one of-lhosc warm, sultry days that causes
one to long for sea air or forest shade, and
the thousands who drove or went by cars to
the Park, were amply compensated when
they reached its shaded grove. The musical
portion of the festival was to us (a non-
profcssional) ‘charming and satisfactory'
though perhaps a professional musical critic
might have detected a lapse or a prolongated
demi-semiquavcr that ordinary mortals
would not have observed, and for which
obtuseness we think the ordinary mortal
ought to be thankful. ' _
The programme for both afternoon and
evening comprised seventeen pieces each of
vocal and instrumental music, and nearly.all
were produced. The performers were all or
nearly all amateurs, and comprised the fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen': Congregational
Choir, Georgetown; Miss Mary C. Miller,
Miss Mary E. Bennett, Mrs. C. S. Gregory,
Georgetown; Mrs. S. J, Marvin and Miss
Fannie Fitcthilton; Rev. Mr. and Mrs.
Kelsey and Miss. Louise Jarvis, Weston ;
Misses J. M. Hurlbutt, A. Steven, F.’ Hurl-
butt and Miss Gilbert,Ridgefield; Male Quar-
tette,Danbury; Miss Elsie Lees and H. J.
~Jelliffe, Westport; Miss Bronson and Miss
Bungert, Brooklyn; .Messrs. A. S. Gibson,
Norwalk, E. A. Smith, New Haven, Charles
Beman, Stamford, M. Souls, South Norwalk,
and the Wheeler and Wilson Band.
The society did well to engage the W. &
W. Band, and the overture for the evening,
“Mistaken Journey,” was one of the finest
pieces of band playing that has been heard
in this vicinity, and received ample applause.
The piano music by the ladies and gentle—
men was as good as could be well produced
from the instrument in use. The vocal music
by the ladies and the male quartettc of Dan-
bury was all of it good and much excellent,
and all applauded and several pieces encored.
The duet, “Holy Mother," by Misses Brou-
son aud Bungert, was the gem of the evening
and properly encored, as were several other
vocal and instrumental pieces. Had we
space we would. gladly extend this notice,
but can only say that the whole performance
was much enjoyed by the immense audience
and the ladies and gentlemen will receive’
due praise for their successful efiort.
At the last moment it was found necessary
to make quite a number of changes in the
programme as printed. We give below the
full programme, as performed: ‘

Some estimates put the evening- attendance
as‘high as four thousand persons. The Pa-
vilion is said to be provided with seats for
2,500 people. All the seatslwere occupied,
and the railing on the outside was lined with
ladies and gentlemen, many ladies standing
u .
pThe members of the church all seem to
have enteredheartily into the spirit, Of the
enterprise. They ’provided supper and re-
freshments, and fed large. numbers; ladies
and gentlemen of the church acting as wait-
ers.
Mr. 0. S. Starr, of Norwalk, furnished
pickled oysters, canned meat s, and a great
variety of other tempting eatables.
Burgess Mead sweltered behind the ice
cream and soda water counters, and rhe calls
upon him were innumerable.
The last train down, for Norwalk, was
composed of six cars which were crowded.
Another train left for Danbury at the same
time, and must have carried quite as many
people. This last ~ train rather uncivilly
gobbled up the entire platform and crowded
the Norw‘hlk train down the track among the
bushes, the passengers climbing up by step-
ping on a chair. ‘We suggest that hereafter
when two trains load up at the same time
each train be given a portion of the plat-
form.
Mrs. Brainard. who was announced to sing
did not arrive.
The programme was long. and owing to
the time taken for encom, the last few sc-
lectious were given amidst considerable con-
fusion, the audience becoming restless as
“train time” arrived and many hurrying off
to obtain seats in the cars.
It is estimated that the net profits will
amount to between $300 and $400; the ex-
act amount cannot yet be stated.

Major J. W. Barlow, the government on-
gineer in charge of the improvement of
Connecticut’s water front, has submitted to
the chief engineer at Washington, projects
and estimates for the improvement of rivers
and harbors under his charge, as follows:
Norwalk Harbor, Conn.—-During the
present season it is proposed to widen the
lower turn of the crossover below the South
Norwalk wharves, and to remove certain
shoals that have formed in the river during
the spring from the action of the ice, or so
much of this work as the funds available will
permit. Amount-available July 1, 1881, $5,-
024.53; estimated necessary for fiscal year
ending June 30, 1883, $10,000. ‘
Southport Harbor, Coed—Tho. effect of
the work done in this harbor already has
been greatly to the advantage of navigation,
and it is believed that with $3,000 more the
improvements of the harbor can be completed
as far as the needs Of its commerce or the
wishes of the people seem to require. Amount
available July 1, 1881, $2,511.42; estimated
necessary to complete improvements, $3,000.
Bridgeport. Conn.—It' is claimed by the
citizens of Bridgeport that, by reason of the
improvements that thus far have been made,-
this harbor is now largely used as a harbor
of refuge, and that frequently the channel is
so filled with vessels at anchor waiting for
favorable winds or fair weather that it is
with much difficulty that a passage through
the fleet can be made by vessels bound to the
wharves. Outside of the channel there is a
very small area available for anchorage, and
that only for small or light draft vessels. As
a remedy for this it is proposed to widen the
channel from the inner beacon to the steam-
boat wharves, and to make it 400 feet wide
and twelve feet deep at mean low water. To
carry out this project would require the sum
of $10,000 to be appropriated -for the next
fiscal year. Amount available July 1, 1881,
$10,084.11.
“Asleep.”
The touching paragraph with this motto
in the last weeek’s Guam—so like many
others from that felicitious pen moved by a
sympathy with mourners sorrows—must
have been a solace to sorely-wounded souls.
The same sympathy in another heart prompts
to the request that the Gamma will copy
the subjoiued editorial from the last number
of that excellent Baptist Journal The Ez-
.amlner and Chronicle, which is so tender
and true, and so Christian, that it must
commend itself to all—especially to parents
whose little children have been taken away
into the loving arms of Jesus. And how
many such there are, and will be! “Asleep
in Jesus—blessed sleep." S. B. S. B.

On Friday last, Commodore White gave a
free excursion from New. York to Rock away,
on the steamer Grand Republic, to mothers
with jbabes in arms. The Tribune, of Sat-
urday, thus reports the affair:
Fifteen Hundred Babies Afloat.
FREE Exermsrox 0N run GRAND REPUBLIC 'ro
- nooxawav.
“Where's your baby ?"
“I havn’t any of m own," replied a rotund
little woman, “But thought hers would do
for us two." '
The woman with the necessary credential
held up. a child she had on her arm with
evident pride. The purser was inexorable
however, and ithc little woman was com—
pelled to pull a ver much worn pocketbook
from her pocket. he pair was among the
foremost of a host of mothers, each with a
babe in arms, who were struggling to get on
board thd Grand Republic at the foot of
.West Twenty Second street, yesterday
morning. A free ride to the sea side on the
condition of owning a baby was an oppor-
tunity by no means to be missed, and an
hour before the steamer was to start the pier
was crowded almost to suffocation. Among
the crowd were to be seen young mothers
scarcely out of their teens; and many a
toothless old crone tottered over the gang
plank withababy in her arms. The sus-
picion that there were a good many babies
borrowed for the occasion was confirmed by
one of the passengers who whispered-to a
neighbor that she had no baby of her own
(though she had- been married ten years),
but Mrs. Mulhaly had let her have hers for
the day. Another woman who had a child
with a pinched. wan little face, remarked to
a bystander—who must have worn a look of
compassion—that when her child was well
he was one of the finest looking babies in
the world. The number of children whose
long legs hanging down indicated their
ability to take care Of themselves
(afterwards demonstrated in the cabin)
w'as astonishing. At 10:35‘ the boat moved
away from the pier, two women and their
babies being handed aboard after the gang
plank had been drawn in.
. These scenes were repeated at the Rector
street pier and at Jewell’s wharf, Brooklyn.
The number of children that was carried On
board at the Brooklyn pier was about 700,
making in all from 1,200 to 1,500. Their
mothers were not the poorest of the poor,
from tenement houses, for the most part, but
were the wives of well-to-do mechanics and
workingmcn. Those on board who had an
antipathy to children soon found that they
had made a mistake. Every nook and
corner of the steamer was invaded by babies.
Those inclined to drowsiness were tucked
around on the cushions in the cabin, or laid
in some out-of-the-way place on the floor.
Others were only too wide awake, and kept
up an increasing whimper. A few sturdy
ones bawled with apparently inexhaustible
lung power. This inharmonious concert
was persistently kept up until the steamer.
reached Rockaway Beach. A large part of
the passengers disembarked here and re-
paired to the various hotels and pavilions,
where they regaled themselves and their
charges with a luncheon of beer or milk.
Some of the women stripped their babies
and gave them a dip in the water—an op-
eration in each cascvigorOusly protested
against.
On the return trip there was a-visible
change in the spirits of the babies who had
had their days outing. The fresh sea air
seemed to have instilled new life into them,
and any number of them could be seen at-
tempting to swallow the bucket and shovel
with which they had played in the sand;
and one lusty little fellow was actually
oiscovered trying to swallow one of his big
oes.

He is deeply moved by this “testimony of
respect and esteem,” and especially as borne
