Board of Health met Saturday at the Probate
office and took the matter into consideration.
Selectmen Jennings presided. Most of the
fault-finders were among those in the village
who are not land owners and therefore had
no occasion to import fertilizers. The point
made by them, that the scént rising from
the discharging cargoes is terribly offensive,
was, by admission ofall parties, present well
taken, but those who needed the manure to
strengthen their soils, and who had the
m'bney to pay for it, and the ihclinalion to
invest largely each year, felt that the com-
plainants, if they never had anything worse
than this strike their nasal organs, nom'ate-
rial reduction in the days of their years
would be brought about. The suggestion of
our fault-finders that hereafter cargoes be
iandcd far enough away from the village
center,—-say at Cedar Point or Great Marsh,
to prevent future disturbance was considered
unreasonable and unjust, as the time and
money rcpuired to haul manure from thence
to the various farmers would kill the busi-
ness, which, as it is now carried on is not
only profitable to the investors but of incal~
culable benefit to the public. But “we don’t
like the smell," said one or two aggrieved
parties, “the odor comes up through our
front blinds so strong we can’t stand it.”
“True! no doubt,” but then it rises from
strong stuff. anti that’s the very thing we’re
after." One farmer hinted to a manure

the manure traffic declared a nuisrnce and
stopped, couldn’t see the point—bis nervous
farce being concentrated in the region of the
nose. Practical views of the questions were
offered by gentlemen representing a good
deal of real estate, and they were united in
the view that, while the bringing of manure
to the docks was in some sense an evil, it
was one that could be borne. The board
were also of opinion that action on their part
look'tng to restraint would conflict with .the
rights of vesscllowners who by common law

The grading for the railroad to Wilson’s
Point continue to draw crowds of people,
whogo to see the sights. including, the Itali-

and it is refreshing to listen to the amateur
engineers, ant] to learn what mistakes the
practical engineers have made in the layout
of the line of way. That the town of Nor-
'walk, including both City. and Borough,
should have developed so large a number of
persons, of all ages and growth, capable of
locating the best possible line for a railway
route, without the use of any instruments
except their tongues. is one of the wonders
of the age, and it tells well for the educa-
tional benefits desired from the free school
law as applied to civil engineering. The
chief point. of attraction is that portion of
the line between Sherwood's woods and the
high ground just below the juncture of Main
and Meadow streets, as between these points
much heavy work is being done, and here
can be seen day and evening, crowds of
people looking for engineering defects, and
pointing them cut to any one disposed to lis-
tcn. The " Hotel Italian” is located on this
portion of the line, and is visited during the
day by the ctirious, and in the evening the
crowd stay outside to listen to the musical
portion of the hotel guests, who fill the air
with melody, accompanied by afull chorus
from the lake opposite, where dwellers must
be numbered by thousands and who appear
to be unanimously musical. We advise all
who dotc cn frog music,who have not attend-
ed one or more of these free concerts, to lose
no time in doing so, for fear that the vandal-
ism of the engineer in charge of the con-
struction of the railroad may induce him to
culvert away~the water supply so essential
for the proper rendering of frog music. As
this lake, like some of the noted lakes on the
continent of Europe, is under the jurisdic-
tion of two powers, ought not the two
powers, 2?. e. the City of South Norwalk
and Town, to petition the proper authority
for a commission to examine and decide
whether such enormous destruction of mu-
sical talent should be allowed; and we would
suggest that if possible the commissioners
should be adopted citizens of French nation-
ality, whose love of the frog is proverbial,
and there can be no doubt that if such a com-,
mission can be obtained but that their verdict
will be to direct the joint powersto dam that
culvert There is urgent necessity for prompt
action,“ our musical friends are to be saved,
and should not the joint powers secure the

administrative guardianship over these dis-
pensers of melody now in such peril.

aged 22 and 20 boarded and slept in the attic.
