4 Norwalk. Gazette.

Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Aug. 11. 1882.
DEAR Gaz‘n'rrn :—
The Capitol tc-day was as deserted as the
banquet hall of the song, had in only a few
of the Departments could a Member or Sena-
tor be seen. Even at the Pension office,
where your correspondent has repeatedly
had to wait from one to three hours to get a
hearing in behalf of some worthy, but defer-
red, Norwalk pension claimant (because of
the mob of Congressmen, pressing for the
chance to urge special consideration for their
constituents similarly situated), not a single
member of either House was to be seen.
There was never so complete an exodus of
Congressmen during the first hours after an
aijournment within the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant. In all the various depart-
ments of the Capitol the officers and em-
ployees were busy cleaning up and getting
ready for their vacation. The folding-rooms
are the busiest, places. The long session has
imposedla vast'amount of work on them. The
superintendent of the House folding-room
says he will have to work all his force day
and night for ten days in order to get his
work up. The campaign speeches of the
Senate have nearly all been folded and sent
out. Some six or eight hundred thousand
have been folded there. The Senate made
no provision for any extra force of folders,
but the House extended the temporary roll
for thirty days. Of all the members of Con-
gress Mr. Hewitt, of New York, sends out
the largest number of speeches for campaign
purposes. He has already distributed about
a quarter of a million of his tariff speech
and will send out nearly as many more; and
’ yet there are some who will say that we are
not an afflicted people. But Mr. Hewitt may
well have saved the great expenditure of
time and money he has made. The Ameri-
can laborers will elect no man President who
wishes to reduce their pay and conditions to
that of the pauper labor ’of Europe, which is
the inevitable result of the insane, Democratic
dogma of Free Trade. Why even ex-Senator
Eaton and Senator Dan Vorhees know that.
oounaoaous OPPOSITION.
Senators Platt and Hawley showed a bit of
Congressional courage during the last hours
of the session, which is in such marked con-
trast with the cheap demagogueism, so prev-
alent, in pension matters, as to be worthy of
special note. Senator Don Cameron had in-
troduced and tried to get passed, a’ bill grant-
ing a pension to a' dead soldier’s daughter,
solely on the ground that she was necessitous
Calmly'considered, it was the most startling
proposition which had emanated from any
quarter during this remarkable and almost
interminable session. The Post most sensi-
bly observes that the direct and immediate
effect of passing the bill would only have
been the adding of a single name to the list
of pensioners, and if this were the end of
the matter there would be little reason to ob-
ject.
But Mr. Cameron must have known that
his propositionvinvolved vast and far-reach-
ing consequences. He must have been aware
that he was proposing a new departure, in-
volving almost incalculable cost, Not even
the arrearages act—compliance with which
in the end will cost three or four hundred
millions, and which is now the object of re-
gret and repentance on the part of many gen—
tlemen who worked and voted for it—ean be
compared in its enormous magnitude to the
work which Mr. Cameron’s bill lays out—the
pensioning of every orphan of all the soldiers
of the war of the rebellion; or, at any rate,
all who shall ask for pensions, until the last
soldier's orphan shall have passed off the
stage of life.
If Mr. Cameron hoped, in the confusion
and demoralization incident to the close of a
long session, that this innocent-looking little
bill would slip through both Houses and/that
the country would thereby be committed to
the policy it would inaugurate, he miscalcu-
lated the vigilance of Senators. General
Hawley, himself a gallant soldier, and the
ever-ready friend of the-soldiers, entered an
earnest protest and went on to show what
lay behind the bill. He said the soldiers of
the country who had imperiled their lives for
its preservation were not asking for support
at the hands of the government; that they
do not desire to bankrupt the country they
had saved, and he begged Senators not to be
influenced by touching appeals .into doing
that which would commit the government to
the support of the children of deceased sol-
diers, irrespective of their age.
Senator Platt then took the floor; speak-
ing for himself and the Pension Committee
of which he has been acting chairman since
the retirement of Secretary of the Interior
Teller, from the Senate. He admitted that
the case was one especially calculated to ap-~
peal to the sympathy of Senators, but said
very pertinently, that it was not an isolated
one; that no doubtthousands of other chil—
dren of dead soldiers, were similarly situated
and to establish the precedent of providing
a support for such from the Treasury, in one
instance, would be to invite others to ask
for .it, and there was no computing the vast
amount of money it would cost. He ex-'
pressed his own and the Committees’. sincere
and honest sympathy for the soldier and said
there ,was no public obligation more binding,
no national duty more sacred than to deal
kindly and fairly with the men who incurred
wounds or disease in defending the integrity
of the Union and the honor of the flag. But
to open the pension rolls to all the surviving
sons and daughters of the millions of men
who-served in the army and navy during the
“war, to set up a precedent that would, in all
likelihood, quadruple the pension list, to do
this when we are paying a hundred millions
a year on account of pensions, would be such
a stupendous piece of folly as ought not to
be suggested by a Senator from the great
state pf, Pennsylvania, and he was neither so
soft hearted or soft headed, as to favor so
great an injustice and wrong to both the sol-
dierstand citizens of the Republic. Mr.
Cameron, not desiring to risk defeat, with-
drew the measure, expressing a determina-
tion to renew his effort at— the next session.
'rna marcn MONOPOLY.
Notice was issued Wednesday to every
‘wholesale dealer -in Philadelpbie of the ad-
vance'in the price of matches from 25 cents
to $1.50 per gross, according to kind. This
"will necessitate a proportionate rise on the
'part of the dealers and jobbers in the trade.
In consequence of the defeat of the tax re-
duction bill by the Democrats in the Senate,
the public have been placed at the mercy of
a company which can put the price up as
high as it pleases. About fifteen years ago
the first efiort at combination of match manu-
facturers was made by the Swift &. Courtney
and Beecher Company. The final result was
a great stock company, comprising about
twenty manufactories, and said to represent
a capital of $5,000,000. The sulphur match-
es, which originally were sold by the com-
bination at $1.80, are now sold for $2.39,
and parlor matches rose from $2 to $2.50.
The stamp act was imposed about twenty
years ago, which drove out of the market all
small manufacturers. At first the govern-
ment sold the stamps at one cent each, ten
per cent. off, and compelled the match men
to have their own plates engraved,which was
the condition on which the ten per cent. was
taken off at first, but they were given ten
per cent. more stamps, which was equivalent
to an allowance of but nine per cent. The
combination has for some time been carrying
‘on a suit with the government to recover
the additional one per cent. The poor man
can thank the Democratic leaders in Con-
gress that every box of matches he buys is
to cost him more than double it would had
the Tax Reduction bill been permitted to
4 pass, andany man who draws a bank check
can justly charge the two-cent-stamp nuis-
ance to the same suicidal policy of the De-
mocracy. '
normal! LEISURE AT run wnrra nousn.
While the President is absent on his sum-
mer vacation, nearly all the clerical force at
the White House will avail themselves of
their annual leave. Mr. Charles M. Hind-
ley, executive clerk to the President, left to-
night for Lake George. The others have
not decided where they will go. The Ex-
ecutive mansion will be thoroughly reno-
vated, and the furniture cleaned and repaired
during the next few weeks. The outside
will probably be given a coat or two of white
paint, which it badly needs, especially the
north front. Col. Rockwell, Commissioner
of Public Buildings,-has repeatedly asked
for an appropriation to replace the gravel
roadway in front of the house with concrete,
but never succeeded in getting it until now,
an appropriation for a concrete road having
been made in the sundry civil bill. During
the winter storms this road Was a perfect
mud muddle. .
GOING wasr.
By the advice of his physicians, Mr. J.
Stanley Brown, President Garfield’s Private
Secretary, will give up all business for the
present and take an extended tour in the
west. He will leave here next week for
Mentor. Ohio, where he will spend affew
weeks with Mrs. Garfield and family, and
will afterwards make a visit to New Mexico.
He will be gone about two months.

The following is Connecticuts quota of ap-
pointments thus far made up to tc-day, in
the Interior Department and under the bill
granting an increase of _clerical force to the
Pension ofilce:
Samuel F. Adams, Joseph S. A. Baker,
Cornelius R. Booram, John M. Burnett,
Austin A.'-Bush, Amos Clift, George A.
Flagg, George S. Fox, Hermann Gans, James
D. Hall, Charles F. Nichols, Patrick O‘Far-
rel, Edward S. Shepard, Alvan .T. Tracy,
Martin Welles, and Logan Johnson of
Bridgeport, with one or two others will
probably receive apppointments in the same
force.
Secretary Folger appointed yesterday all
the employees—over two hundred in number
-—on the outside rolls of the Treasury de-
partment (which rolls have been abolished)
to positions on the specific rolls, thus pre-
venting the large dismissal in the department.
which was feared would be caused by the
abolishment of the outside rolls. The Secre-
tary has also rc-appointed the employes—
about twenty-five, mostly ladies—who Were
dismissed some time ago on account of the
discontinuance of the lapse rolls, on which
they were carried.
There has been some complaint made that
none of the 400 appointments made yester-
day of clerks in the Pension bureau were
ladies. Officials of the Interior department
say that there is no ground for complaint,
as the Secretary had plainly stated all along
that no ladies would be appointed. The
decision was reached after a conference with
the Commissioner of Pensions, and was ,on
the ground that the work rcquiredlof the new
clerks called for ability of a legal character,
and something more was necessary than mere
clerical ability. The medical histories of
many of the soldiers also, would in frequent
instances, render their examinations and
reports upon, by ladies, highly indelicate and
painful to them. .
Gen..Charles H. Crane I118 formally enter-
ed upon his duties as Surgeon Generalof the
Army, in which capacity he has been acting
since the retirement of Surgeon General
Barnes. No material change. will be made
in thc'personnel of the ofllcc. The selection
of an assistant surgeon general has been
postponed till the next session of Congress.
Mr. Crane’s confirmation was hotly, but in-
effectually opposed.

Acting Secretary of the Treasury French
yesterday received a-telegram from Secre-
tary Folger, who is in ’New York City, in-
structing him to hasten the issue of gold
certificates. There has already been a large
demand for these certificates. They will be
ready for issue in a few days. Treasurer
Gilfillan has made an estimate for $160,000,-
000 gold certificates, and the printing of‘
that amount in different denominations has
been authorized. The Assistant Treasurer at
New York states that the amount of gold
.coin held by the associated bankers is in
round numbers 60,000,000, of which the
Bank of America holds $40,000,000, the re
imaindcr being held by the other fifty-nine
banks. He also states that all the banks
will probably make large and rapid offerings
of their gold for the new certificates. and
that the facilities of his office for a proper
examination will not exceed $2,000.000 per
day, in addition to which the payments in
gold coin to the clearing house from Janu-
ary 1 to June 30, 1882, have averaged $550,-
000 per day, thus necessitating the daily use
of two and a half millions in gold certifi-
cates. He says.the banks are anticipating
their issue and all are now making priority
applications. He estimates that $50,000,000
will be required in addition to the natural
'infiow, $5,000,000 in twenties, fifties and one
hundreds, and the remainder in large dc-
nominations. _
COMMODORE snurarnr IN 'rrrr. nosrrran.
The Navy Department is informed that
Commodore R. W. Shufeldt, who has just
returned from China, was admitted to the
naval hospital, at Mare Island, Cal., on the
.2dinst. No particulars are_given. Secre-
tary Chandler, in speaking of Commodore '
Shufcldt’s case with reference to his conduct
while negotiating the Corcan treaty,said that
no information had been received by him to
justify the detail of a court of inquiry in the
case, nor in fact did he feel that any action
at hishands was necessary. He 'had ad-
dressed an explanation to Secretary Chandler
in reference to the charges made against him
while negotiating the recent Corean treaty,
which resulted from his open letter to ex-
Senator Sargent on the Chinese question.
The old Commodore’s splendid record of
long, faithful,.and important services, is a
handy thing for him to have in his present
little unpleasantness.

Secretary Chandler yesterday cabled to
Mr. W. H. Hunt, U. S. minister at St.
Petersburg, that Congress had made provis-
ion for bringing home the remains of Lieut.
Commander DeLong 'and companions, and .
asked that he telegraph Lieut, Harbcr, at "
Yakutsk, to have sledges built, and to bring
the bodies to Orenburg, where metallic cases ,
will be found waiting. A cable message;
was received from Minister Hunt acknowl-.
edging the receipt of Secretary Chandler'sj
message, and stating that ‘Lieut. Harber has
been made acquainted with the wishes of the
department in the matter.

The joint select committee appointed yer-
terday, in compliance with the request of a
large number of gentlemen interested in
American shipping, whose memorial was re-
cently presented to the House by Repre-
sentative Belmont, of New York, consists of
Messrs. Page (Cal). Candler (Mesa), Robe-~
son (N. J.), Dingley (Me.), McLean (Md.)
and_ Cox (N. Y.) on the part of the House ;
and Messrs. Miller (N. Y.), Conger (Mich.)
and Vest (Mo.) on the part of the Senate.
The object cf the committee is to inquire
into the cause'of the decline of American
shipping, with a view to the enactment of
laws during the next session, which will en.
able the American' merchant marine to com-
committee will probably organize in New
York within the next two weeks. ‘

The Society Of the Army of the Cumber-
land, through its Garfield monument com-
mittee, have determined to give a national
'fair and bazar industrial and art exposition
in the rotunda of the United States Capitol
from November 25 toDecember 3. The ob-
ject is to raise the greatest, possible amount
of funds to aid in the erection of a Garfield
monument at Washington.
The Post-master General has written a
letter in reply to a number of correspondents
relative to the prohibition of certain books
which the writers regard as obscene from the
mails. He states that he will heaeafter
make no ruling of this character unless the
courts have decided the publications ob-
scene.

Many sensible‘constituencies have renom-
inated their present member of Congress;
others equally sensible have brought out new
men. It is a comfort to know that a few of
the worst afilictions in the present House
will plunge into dark obscurity at precisely
12 m. on the fourth of March, 1888. Con-
necticut is expected to return all of her able
and efficient members with the possible ex-
ception of Judge Phelps, who is liable to be
traded off for a far less worthy man by his
democratic friends. .

Applications for the exchange of bonds
into the new 3 per cents are not received at
the Treasury department as fast as was ex-
pected. They are sufficiently numerous,
hOWever, to keep the large force of clerks
steadily at work. In fact, complaints are
made that the force is not large enough,
and there is danger of the Work falling some-
what behind. As the 20th of the month
falls upon Sunday, the exchange of bonds
will not be commenced until Monday, the
21st, or as soon after the 20th as possible.
General Halbert E. Paine and family, left
for Deer Isle, Me., yesterday, and by the
way—a great multitude of Washington peo-
ple,-including several members of Congress,
have gone to Mount Desert Island this sea-
son.
The favorite route also, has been from
New York to New London, by way ofthoae
floating parlors the City of Worcester and
City of New York of the Norwich Line, and
thence by the New London and Northern
Railroad to Portland, where the well-known
Mount Desert boats of the Portland, Bangor
and Mount Desert Line, give safe and speedy
transit to this crowaing summer excursion
region, of all the picturesque coast resorts of
New England. ' As Ever, B.

London Assurance.
Everything is progressing ‘fioely for the
performance of the abbve named play—the
best Boucicault ever wrote—on the evening
of Sept. 1st. Miss Dyas promises us one of
the best companies that has ever appeared in
Norwalk. and as she isa lady of her word we
may depend on her doing so.
Next week we will give the names of the
leading members of the company which, is
the same that supported her at the Newport
Casino.
Judge John B. Rector, of Austin, Texas,
with his wife, is to visit Norwalk for the
first time since, as a student, he fitted for
Yale with Edgar Finney and others at the
Union High School, under the tutoring of
Messrs. Brigham and Potwin. He will see
many changes in old Norwalk, and many,
very many, of the ardent boys who drank
deep of the Pierian spring with him, gone
to-‘their last rest. Mr. Rector has been a
distinguished judge on the beach of his
State and many times urged to accept a
nomination for Congress in the 10th Texas
district. By some it might be deemed a
marvel that the Judge is, and hawver been,
a Republican, but when it is considered that
his early education was acquired here in old
Norwalk, which used to be and is now good
for anywhere from 200 to 800 Republican
majority, his soundness in politics, as in‘
everything else, is not so muchto be won-
dered at. We give the Judge a right royal
greeting, and welcome him to the scenes of
his boyhood days.
The Wilson Point Extension.
The Railroad Commissioners examined the
extension of the line of the Danbnry do Nor-
walk Railroad to Wilson Point, on Friday
last and gave the company a certificate that
the road was in a suitable and safe condition
for public travel. After the examination,
the commissioners took a sail to Roton Point
where they were served with an ichthyoph-
agous dinner, got up in Ackert's best style,
and the business member of the board will
be able. (if he survives) to give a weighty
certificate, of his appreciation of the capabil-
ities of that point on the sea.
The regular trains from Danbnry, and
commenced running to the point-yesterday,
and we are informed that additional short
trains will be put on in a few days.
The Rotcn Point Steamer will connect
with the trains, and will also land and receiye
passengers at the Bell Island pier.
@
Talking about Post Office growth, it should
be remembered that while Norwalk has two
offices of the second class, the salaries of
.which amount to $4,400, she has also four
other offices,and when the new station is made
.Down Town there will be a demand for still
' another post ofiico in that vicinity.
One feature connected with the recent
attempt to locate the Wilson Sewing Machine
works here is deserving of special and hon-
orable mention. Mrs. Lynes very generously
offered to donate all the land necessary for
the use of the factory, with a good front on
Water street. This location is very desira-
ble, and was pronounced by Mr. Sheldon
the best he had seen, being close to the Dan-.
bury_& Norwalk Railroad track, and- to the
harbor. If the works had been located here,
new streets would have been opened on
' which residences would _have been erected
for foreman and others connected with the
works.
.Express trains and Draw Bridges.
We are glad to see that the rumor, to which
we alluded last week. that the'Railroad Com-
missioners had given permission for express
trains to cross Draw Bridges without coming
to a full stop, is contradicted.
The rumor was freely circulated on the
trains of'the consolidated read several days
before we alluded to it, and was confidently
affirmed by parties from Bridgeport, who are
generally well informed on railroad matters.
IRON Farmed—Our old friend, E. M. Mer-
ritt, having returned to Norwalk to engage
in business, has taken a shop on Leonard
street, and is making a specialty of the man-
ufacture of wrought iron ”fences. He has
secured the contract for building the new
fence for tthver River School district, as
we have before stated, and is prepared to fill
all orders in the best maunerf
Boll Island.
This new summer Sound side resort, is
filled with visitors, and hundreds more would
go there could they find accommodations.
There are some three "hundred there now and
the promise is that the cottage accommoda-
tion will be many times multiplied next sea-
son. We congratulate Messrs Foster and
Mansfield on thg success of their enterprise.

=_——____————_—
We are sorry to have to say Norwalk can.
not secure the location here of the Wilson
Sewing Machine Co. ' But the amount of
capital required makes it impossible, at least,
to raise so much in the stipulated time. The
losses sustained by our citizens lathe Nor-
walk Iron Works, Allertou Iron Works and
Norwalk Mills, make them- fear to invest
largely in one enterprise. These losses were
not only felt in its financial efiect, but in
practically bringing to a stand-still all pri-
vate enterprises that carry a'public benefit
with them. No effort to increase manufac-
turing interests here has been made until this
partial rally from the shock of these losses.
We hope, however, that this fresh evidence
of returning enterprise will not die still-born,
as it were, but will be but the advance drops
of a copious shower. Another enterprise is
now proposed, and the Board of Trade have
called a meeting for this evening to consider
it. Their efforts, however, must be heartily
seconded by all citizens of means to place
Norwalk again in the van of progressive,
growing towns in the State. Each mann-
factory adds materially to the growth of the
place. Bridgeport, Meriden, Waterbury,
Danbnry and other towns appreciate this,
and no effort is spared to secure the location
of all the manufactories they can in these
towns by their several Boards of' Trade and
citizens. The result is seen by’the census
returns. While Norwalk in ’70 was the ban:
ner town in per cent. of increase, she falls
far behind in '80. Now, with this, as it al-
most may be said, fresh thrills of life and
awakening from the shock and following
lethargy arising from losses, let us try and
regain what we ought to possess, Let every
merchant, business man. and citizen with-
out business, attend the meeting Tuesday
night, and every meeting that shall be called
by the Board of Trade, and give material
aid by suggestions,work and investing some-
thing at least. The business of Tuesday
evening is partially explained in an article in
this issue, and will be fully discussed at the
meeting. As explained it seems a profitable
industry, and one that can be made almost
limitless. We would not advise investing
in or even inviting any enterprise to settle
among us that did not promise good results.
Every business failure works disastrous re-
sults and contra. Every manufacturing suc-
cess stimulates active enterprise and corres-
ponding growth. Manufacturers seeking a
location do not seek places where they have
to infuse life, but rather go where their
own energy is stimulated to greater activity
and force by their surroundings. The expe-
riences We have had ought to give us judg'
ment in selecting, and‘our losses ought to
make ‘us determined to recover it. With
money at 4 per cent. we ought not hesitate
in investing in manufacturing enterprises
that will pay 10 per cent.
What promises to be one of the largest

As a matter of course the annual excursion
of the Second M. E. Sunday School was a
grand success. The day was pleasant, and
the attendance large, including many chil-
dren of large growth.-. The special train,
which left on time in the morning, was com-
posed of eight passenger andone baggagecar
and all were crowded. The regular train

off pleasantly, and everybody appeared to

Another 'surprise awaits the amusement-
loving public, and it is what has long been
needed in our pretty little Opera House.
The enterprising manager, Mr. F. W. Mitch-
ell, who is ever alive to the comfort of his
patrons,will have placed on theOpera House
two of Wing's patent fan ventilators of 20
inch capacity each, and an arrangement for
admitting pure air into the hall in such a
way as not to annoy the audience. It will
make the balccnp as cool as any part of the
house, and the ball will be as cool as any in
the country, These ventilators are manu-
factured by the Simond’s Manufacturing Co.
and are the same as those used to ventilate
Steinway and Chickcring Halls, the New
York Herald building, and many other large
buildings. The device for admitting the
pure air into the hall is the work of Mr. F.
W. Jaqui, Jr., who has the contract for van-
tilating, which is a sufficient guarantee that
the work will be well .and properly done, as
Mr. Jaqui is a practical man, and one who
understands his business. The work will be
completed before the commencement of the
dramatic season,/ and although the weather
may be warm, the public will find the hall
in future thoroughly ventilated, and cool and
comfortable.
CITY ITEMS.
The remains of the wrecked milk train
passed through this city late on Friday af-
ternoon.
Theodore Knapp, Esq, has returned from
his extended vacation and trip to distant
parts, greatly improved in looks and health,
and is able to attend to all business in his
line which offers. ‘
“ The city” is now supposed to be the
owner of a very valuable piece of property,
on which it is contemplated erecting a house
for Putnam Hose 00., a City Hall, dsc , «be.
It is being fast depleted of the pine board
fence which surrounds it, and of the nice
dry siding to the house which adorns the
centre. This material for kindling wood is
not all taken by the poor and needy.
The freight house of the N. Y., N. H. &
H. 'R. R. is now at a stand-still on its new
foundation.
Railroad Pond continues to hold its envi-
able reputation. It now contains, in addition
to its permanent supply of rich smelling
odors, one dog, one cat and one duck—all
dead as door nails. and affording a rich efflu-
via to the passers on the railroad and the
residents near; and all of this under the new
perfected charter.
City Water Commissioners R. H. Rowan
and A. Solomons have tendered their resig-
nations. .
In the Second voting district, of the town,
deputy Registrar Wm. M. Raymond becomes
Registrar by the death of Mr. Wilcox, and
he has appointed George H. Weeks as dep-
uty. -
.George Raymond 2d has just landed at his
new Steam-Heating Iron Foundry and Fur'
nace works, one hundred and fifty tons of
casting sand. ‘
Selectman N. J. Crew has been appointed
City Registrar of. voters to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Th co. Wilcox.
We have seen during the past week the
good effect of a few gentle hints and earnest
appeals made in the old Gazn'r'rn. '
On Friday there were seen three men, one
and one-half horses, with two carts and a
superintendent, combing the head of Flax
Hill, and the work was quite effectively done,
as it was as bare of loose stones as the head
of an editor whom we know, is of hair. But
the good work ceased hero, leaving the main
street and the turnpike untouched. A friend
suggests that the powers that be are await-
ing the meeting of the Railroad Commis-
sioners.
Rev. J. M. Taylor, late pastor of the Bap-
tist Tabernacle, has been spending a few
days with his old parishioners in this city.
Rev. J. J. Woolly has returned from Eu-
rope and spent a short time with his friends
and father-in-law, Deacon Ferris.
Rev. Mr. Van Buren preached at Trinity
church, Sunday. ‘
It is supposed that in such diminutive
cities as New York, Boston and Chicago, the
police would have a full knowledge of the
rules, ordinances and licenses. But in._so
large and growing a city as South Norwalk,
it is not to be supposed lhat any one man
could be found whose mind or memory can
contain all such information, and therefore
should be excused when he does not know
every licensed cartman, especially when such
lack of knowledge costs him 75 cents.
Speaking of the enforcement of ordi-
nances, a friend asks: “Under what ordi-
nance the cultivation of wild carrots in the
public streets is allowed 1’" We give it up.
First Assistant Postmaster General Brown
has closed his vacation term and returned
greatly invigorated, and prepared for his
arduous duties.
Cotton Waddi-rlg.
A meeting of the Board of Trade is called
for this (Tuesday) evening to consider the
matter of establishing a company here for the
manufacture of this much used and staple
article, and we earnestly hope that the men-
eyed men of Norwalk may turn out and
thoroughly ventilate the subject. Certain
facts and figures, letters, &c., will be placed
before the meeting, and men, thoroughly
learned in the manufacture will be present.
The matter has been placed before several
of our preminent business men and manufac-
turers, who, so far as their knowledge goes
in this line, give it their hearty approval.
Consider the fact that there are now but
two mill! in the country making a No. 1 ar-
ticle, one being in Ohio, the other in Rhode
Island, each having their salesroom in New
York, and also give thought to the freight
advantages from and to market Norwalk
would have over either.
Wedding is used in large quantities by
editorial the New York Herald of July 31
last, says: “In 1870 the value of all the
men's clothing manufactured in the United
States was a hundred and forty-seven mil-
lion dollars. Iu 1880 a hundred and twenty-
five million dollars worth was made in the
five cities of New York, Philadelphia, Chi-
cago, Boston and Cincinnati! Here, then.
is a rapidiy growing industry, and wadding
is one of its necessary supplies. Wedding
is largely used by tailors, furriers, hat and
cap makers, dress makers—in fact, there are
constantly increasing channels for its use.
The proposition is to fit up a mill to run
all grades, No. 1 to 4 and shoddy. The mill
prices are to-day': No. 1, black, 18 cents;
white, 25 cents net; the raw material costing
not to exceed 6 and 13 cents,'and there has
been no change in these prices for several
years. The proposed capacity would be not
less than a thousand pounds daily. The
goods are sold on 60 days, net, and' to build
mill and fit up all the machinery, with suf-
ficient working capital, $25,000 will be
necessary. It is confidently believed that if
this sum is raised it will form the nueclus of
a large manufacturing enterprise, such as we
can look upon with a feeling of local pride,
as well as material satisfaction.
People using water are much troubled by
the lack of force to their water after a few
years use; the cause is generally the rusting
of their iron pipes. Those troubled that way
and about making a change will do well to
call and cxaminethe cement lined pipe put
in by plumber Burritt, as he claims for it-
merits far above the other kinds and thinks
he can prove it to be most desirable by re-
ferring to the many patrons who have had it
in use for a term of years., The cost is but
atrifie .more that that of the plain iron or
galvanized pipe.

The New Milford fire department helda

The Fifth G. V.
About seventy-five,members of Fifth regi-
ment, 0. 17., met at Osprey Beach Wednes-
day, on the occasion of the sixteenth re-un-
ion. At noon the business meeting was
called to order by the vice-president, Rev.
Horace Winslow, of Simsbury. The secre-
tary Mr. J. S. Forsyth, of Hartford, read
the record of the last re-union, after which
the following officers were elected for the
ensuing year : »
Rev. Horace Winslow, of Simsbury, presi-
dent; Captain William M. Mix, of Walling-
fcrd, Vice president ;J. C. FOrsyth, of Hart-
ford, secretary.
A committee was appointed to report a
place for holding the next reunion. Bridge-
port was recommended by the committee and
adopted by the veterans.
The following named veterans were chosen
as a committee of arrangements for the next
reunion: Capt. H. P. Rugg, of Bridgeport;
W. C. Johnson, of Seymour; F. M. Clark,
of Bridgeport; H Curtis, of Bridgeport, and
N. D. Pardec, of Birmingham.
The business meeting was then adjourned.
At two o'clock the veterans sat down to din-
ner.
The national colors of the Fifth regiment
recently received from Washington were
loaned to the veterans by the Adjutant Gen-
eral. It is one of the flags of the fifteen
Northern States captured by the rebels and
taken to Richmond and afterwards recap-
tured by our troops, together with flags
from thirteen Southern States. The Fifth’s
flag was captured by Company K, Fifth
regiment, Virginia volunteers, Wyden’s
brigade, Jackson’s divisiou, on the 9th of
August, 1862, at the battle of‘ Cedar moun-
tain. The union of the flag is gone. This;
was the only Connecticut flag rctaken from
Richmond. The color sergeant, E. B.
Jones, of Bethel, lost his life in a brave at-
tempt to hold the flag. When the sergeant
received the order to unfurl the flag, his
countenance denoted, what he thought, in
words, “This is the last time I shall ever un-
furl this flag." Sergeant J ones was over six
feet in height, and his comrades say, “A
braver soldier never lived.” Lottcrs regret-
ting their inability to be present were receiv-
ed from Hon. John T. Wait, Colonel
George L. Beale, Captain J. H. Chapman
and others.

T1115 COURSE OF INSTRUCTION
Includes all branches usually taught in Semina-
rlcs and Schools of thelirst rank. The “Common
Branches,” however, are given prominence. as
forming the “essentials” of a sound education,
and the too rapid pomotion into advanced studies
is carefully guarded against as seriously marring
the pupil’s true progress. It will be the conscien—
tious endeavor of the teacher to secure to the
pupils the advantages of a thorough practical and
ornamental education, and no opportunity will be
neglected to inspire in the school,a.n earnestidcsirc
for knowledge. During the ensuin year, necr-
tarn and liberal portion 01' time will Ila devoted to
It'loculimlary Lessons, Readings and Recitations;
and each pupil drilled in correct pronunciation,
distinct utterance and natural expression as being
necessary to the accomplished reader. Lambert’s
Anatomical Plates will be used in the Physiology
classes. To Mathematics, English Composition,
and Rhetorical exercises, special attention is
given as the discipline and practical benefits 01‘
these branches are important in all spheres or‘lil'c.
PRIMARY DEPARTMENT.
A large, well-lighted room supplied with black-
boards, and handsome new maps, is set apart for
the smaller pupils. Children from four to ten
years of age will be received in this department
and carefully and lovingly taught such fundamen-
tal knowcdgc as their minds can graslp. In addi-
ti_cn to this, they will receive daily instruction in
Singing; and as such drills have been found cs-
pecraily attractive and profitable to the little ones,
Concert Exercises in Reading. Arithcmtic, Geog-
raphy and Calisthcnics willfcrm part or the every
day work. Three recesses 1n the open air willbe
given daily— two in the morning and one in the
afternoon—and, at such times a teacher will be
111 constant attendance.
MUSIC.
Faithful care is bestowed upon pu ils in Music.
Ataste for ClogsicnlCompositrons \vi lbe cultiva-
ted, uml regular and careful practice required.
None but excellent instruments are used, so that
the car and touch of the learner may not beim-

study this branch alone will he received, and
cheerful music rooms and line planes are devoted
to the use of such as desire the advantage of
practice at the school.
