The Water Supply.
The Borough’s supply of water is' again
limited, and the commissioners feel it their
duty to forbid the further use of water for
street, yard and garden sprinkling, until the
drouth comes to an end. They also urge
upon our citizens'the necessity of using wa-
‘" in for all other purposes as~ economically as
possible. There is a. large and steady drain
upon the reservoir, with but very little water
"running in. The commissioners fear that it
will be necessary to put families upon short
allowance again, same as last year, unless‘
there should be rain before the expiration of
a fortnight.

The Cotton Wadding Enterprise.
At the melting of the Board of Trade, last
Tuesday evening, Mr. Robert P. Beatty gave
a detailed statement of investigations that
had been made looking toward ,gtarting a
Cotton Wadding Mill. flis statement was
quite full and convincing, and the meeting
decided to try to raise a joint stock company
with $25,000 capit ll to take hold of the pro‘
ject. ..
A committee of six was appointed to make
an effort to get the requisite number of
subscribers, and so far they have met with
much encouragement and think that the com-
pany can be organized soon.

Our Churches.
Rev. M. Van Buren preached at Trinity
church, Sunday.
Rev. Samuel Dunham, of Binghamton, a
former pastor of the First Congregational
church, occupied the pulpit of that church
on Sunday last, preaching morning and even-
ing, to the gratification of his old- parishion-
era. ‘-
Rev. John G. Davenport, of the Second
Congregational church, Waterbury, will
preach in the First Congregational church
next Sunday.

The Camp Meeting.
The Methodist had an excellent week for
their annual Camp Meeting at .Brookside
Park. The meetings commenced Monday
evening and continued through Friday. The
attendance was quite large throughout the
week, but last Thursday was the best day
when the crowd was variously estimated all
the way from four fto ten thousand persons.
Wilson Point, Pier and Wharf.
The arrival of the Steamer Long Branch
at the Wilson Point pier on Saturday last,
was the first test of the depth of water at
the new terminus of the Danbnry & Norwalk
Railroad by a- large steamer, and the result
is most satisfactqry. The steamer arrived
at low tide both morning and evening, and
had ample water both on the end and sides
of the pier,'and long wharf, and the officers
of the boat expressed themselves as heartly
pleased with the entire arrangement for the
landing of large steamers; and will hereafter
be open for negotiations for partses‘who wish
a sail on the ocean wave. '
It is evident that the selection of this point
for the terminus of the extension was the
proper one. _
EurrT.—The'British naval forces occupied
Port Said and Ismalia, important points on
the Suez Canal, last Sunday. Gen Wolseley
and Admiral Seymour, with transports and
war steamers arrived during the day. The
canal has been closed to merchant vessls,
and M. de Lesscps has protested “against
this act of violence and spoliation.”

The 17th Regiment, C. V.
The annual reunion of the 17th Regi-
ment, C. V., known as the Fairfield County
Regiment, is to take place at Seaside Park,
Bridgeport, on Monday next. This is the
spot where the regiment first encamped pre-
vious to starting for the front, and will there-
fore have a special interest to the veterans.
It is understood that the Bridgeport people
will see to it that the old soldiers are proper.

Dried Up.
The street sprinkler stopped business in
the Borough Saturday night. Dust is flying,
- grass is drying. and crops are dying. What
will the people do if the drohth continues.
Miss Ada Dyas has decided to make a
tour of the leading cities, during the
Fall and Wintdr, for a short season of eight
or ten weeks. She is now selecting and
organizing a dramatic company of. her own,
with Mr. George .Holland as manager.
With an established reputation, a popular
manager, and well-selected support, she will
be sure to win success and return with fresh
laurels.
Having completed arrangements by which
they will have the entire transportation in
their own hands, the Danbnry Railroad com-
pany has red need the price of round trip tick-
ats from Norwalk Bridge to Baton Point to
the very respectable sum of thirty-five cents.
With thei-r'new connecting steamer at Wil-
son Point this route must now prove just
what the people were led . to expectscvery
way satisfactory.

Remember the pic-nic to be given by mem-

commence her trips that day, running from
Wilson Point in connection with the Danbnry
Railroad.

The Fall Trade.
With the first indication of change of
season, Messrs. Comstock Brothers announce
their readiness for the opening of fall trade.
.\ Their new stock will be on exhibition at both
of their stores on Saturday next when they
invite public inspection. The stock is rep-
resented as remarkably fiue, and includes all
articles of ready made clothing for men and
boys, underclothing of many grades, gents
furnishing goods in great variety, hats,
trunks, traveling bags, etc. As they mann-
facful‘c their own goods their facilities are
Md, and they will make every effort
to maintain their well-deserved reputation
of excellent goods at low prices. They pro-
pose keeping trade at home by making it to
the interest of our citizens to, buy in Nor-
walk. .
Connecticut Population.
Connecticut ranks fourth among the states
in density of population, with 129 persons
to the square mile. Rhoda Island, small in
area. is thickly crowded and has the largest
population in proportion to size, with 225
persons to the square mile. Massachusetts
has 222 and New Jersey 152. New York’s
great cities balance against her great. area,
and the state .cornes fifth with 108 persons to
the square mile. There are five more states
having a population above 50 to the square
mile. These are Pennsylvania and Mary-
land witb about 95 each, Ohio with 78, and
Illinois and Indiana with 50. The District
of Canmbia has 2,960 persons to the square
mile. On the other hand Oregon has not
quite two, while even California and Nebras
ka have not quite six each.

New Steamer for Bell Island and
Roton Point.
President Hyatt succeeded on Saturday
last in procuring a steamer to connect with
the trains at Wilson Point, for Bell Island
and Roton Point. The new boat is the doub-
le decked catamaran steamer. Martin Gross,
of Troy, which has excellent accommodations
for three hundred and fifty passengers. The
Gross is seventy-five feet in length, only
three years old, with first-class engine, and
steel boiler, and is in every respect a com-
fortable and safe boat. This new boat will
make close connectiop'with the trains at
Wilson Point, and thus prevent delaying of
the trains running to Danbnry, as has been
'the case during the past week. The putting
on of a first-class boat will tend to in.
crease the travel to those favorite places of
resort, and arrangements will probably be
made so that trains will leave the Point at a
later hour in the evening, thus enabling those
who are engaged during the day, to spend
the evening on the sound shore and enjoy
the cooling breezethat is almost always to
be found there. The price of tickets to Wil-
son Point and return will be twenty-five cents
from Norwalk, fifteen cents from So. Nor-
walk and ten cents more for an excursion
ticket to either Bell Island or Rotonj Point,
thus making the cost from here for a ticket
to go and return thirty-five cents. Tickets
can be had at the depot of the Danbnry &
Norwalk Railroad and at the Horse Railway
depot. ’

A Monster Excursion.
Wilson Point presented a lively scene on
Saturday morning last, with steamers and
sailing yessels along side ofthc pier and wharf,
and trains of cars arriving loaded with pas-
sengers. The largest excursion of_ the season
was that of Father Lawlor’s church, of Dan-
bury, who came in the two morning regular
and a special train of fourteen cars, which
were loaded as excursion cars only can be
loaded. The whole number of passengers
for his excursion being fifteen hundred, who
embarked on board the large steamer Long
Branch, bound for Coney. Island. There
were two bands of Music, and a jolly hand
organ man, who when the boat left the pier
was grinding out a waltz, and at the same
time was keeping step to his music. The
day was remarkable for its clcaruess and puri-
ty of air, and the excursion was in every way
a decided success. The party returned to
the Point about ten p. m., and reached home
a few minutes past midnight. The train up
was drawn by two powerful locomotives
and made the run up from South Norwalk in
one hour and twenty minutes. Father Law-
lor is to be congratulated for the success of
his monster excursion, as all participating ex-
pressed themselves dclighted with their com.
bined car and steamer trip.
Mr. George Holland, one of the gentlemen
who is to support Miss Ada Dyas in “London
Assurance,” is the eldest son of the famous
George Holland who acted for so many years
at Wallack’s, and whose burial caused such
a sensation by the refusal of Rev. Dr. Sa—
bine to perform the, ceremony” He advised
Mr. Joseph Jefferson, who applied to him,
to go to “a little church around the corner"
.where they “did such things." Mrs—Hol-
land is one of the very best stock actors
on the stage. The late Mr. Southern was
so well pleased with him that he engaged
him to go to Europe to support him in all
.his plays. His brother, Mr. E. M. Holland,
who is to play “Dolly Spanker,” was for
many years a member of Mr. Wallack’s
"company, and there made his reputation in
eccentric parts. Both are artists of un-
doubted merit. aud in “London Assurance”
have parts that give them an opportunity to
display their talents to the best advantage.

, The grand opening of the Second Annual
Exhibition-Fair of the New England Mann-
facturers’ and Mechanics’ Institute is an-
nounced to take place in their mammoth
Exhibition Building, Huhtiugton Avenue,
Boston, on Wednesday, September 6. The
exhibition promises to far surpass the bril-
liant display of last Full. Exhibits from
twenty-seven states of the Union, and from
three foreign countries, will completely fill
the immense building. The genius of the
Inventor, and the skill of the Mechanic will
be displayed in a thousand forms. Illumi-
nated water displays, cascades and fountains
will add a charm to the busy interior. The
great Southern Railroad exhibit, a repetition
of the Atlanta Exposition, will undoubtedly
prove of much interest to our agricultural
readers. The ores, minerals. woods and field
products of the South will be fully repre-
sented. Another attractive feature of the
Exhibition-Fair 'will be the great electric
light display by Professor Edison'and others-
One thousand incandescent lights of Profes-
other companies will illuminate the vast in-
terior at. night.

opening of the Dramatic Season.
Manager Mitchell will inaugurate the
Dramatic season, Wednesday night, for
which occasion he has secured a New York
company, Bertha Welby, in Elliott Barnes'
new American drama. “One Woman’s Life.”
Miss Welby’s performances of Justine, last
season won her hosts of admiring friends,
and as an emotional actress she now stands'
with few rivals. —The company will be a
good one as it is organized for the production
'of the play in the large cities of the Union,
and necessarily one of the most expensive on
the road. The critics have loaded Miss
Weiby with such praise ,as the following:
Her pernonatiou is a singularly brilliantone
—Bufalo Courier.
Her success was indicated again and again
by spontaneous outbursts of applause—

be proud of his opening night.
Notwithstanding the great expense of this
attraction the prices of admission will be as

’ Miss Ada Dyas.
As we have before stated, Miss Dyas has
consented to gratify her numerous friends in
Norwalk by appearing at the Opera House

same company which supported her' at the

trons ~and by leading critics of the press.
This is a special company, for a special oc-

manner possible. .
As the attendance will undoubtedly be
very large, testing the seating capacity of
the Hall, we suggest that persons desiring to
procure choice seats give the matter their

arrange with some reliable friend to procure
the seats.

When the oldest and largest church in town
votes to call a minister the matter is not kept
secret, and any ordinarily intelligent reporter
for the local press will have no difficulty in
gathering the facts in the case. The publica-
tion of mere rumors, especially when the
church and society have taken no action
whatever in the matter. is as mischievous as
it is unwise, and uncalled for. We would
hear” is very unsatisfactory authority in such
important public matters and that more re-

Khedive and his importance, but there is no
disguising the fact that England is really at
war with Egypt- The Kbedive is but a
semblance of deported power. He is not
even a respectable figure-head. He has never
commanded the respect or confidence ofhis
people, and ‘now he has not the support of
even his own ministry. The heart of Egypt
is‘ with Arabi Pasha. and the Khedlve,
mself shows that he realizes this fact, for
he has proposed to form a body guard of
Albanians, feeling that he could better trust
the hireling than the Egyptian. He is noth-
ing more than a tool of the English, and he
serves their purposes to the best of his abil-
ty. Being the nominal ruler of Egypt, his
presence with the English and sympathy
with their purposes enables them to say that
they are-makingwar to restore order and to
establish the constituted authority of the
country. But the chosen leader of the
Egyptian people is Arabi Pasha, and it is
apparent that they are’détermihed to sustain
him in his policy of resistance.All the reports
of Arabi and his armyt its numbers, condi-
tion, conduct. etc., are filtered:through-Eng-
iish sources, and itis quite likely that many

and sweet spurt of enforcing ordinances in
regard to “p' blic c'artnen," it would be well
to try enforc g ordinances relative to “uni-
sauces" and <:“puhlic health.” Filth and
rubbish, decayed vegetables, ashes, coffee
grounds. and other vile stuff, are thrown into
the streets continually, while noxious weeds
'are suffered to grow up into. forests in many
places. Perhaps if the ordinance regarding
ashes was enforced, city oficials might be
fined, as they have been greatly use‘dIthis
season for repairing/the stfeets.

exertions of the flag man, and chief of Police
would doubfless' have proved fatal. The
double team which Chief Pelham, by main
strength, drew away from the track, would
‘ have been no great loss, but the four persons
who were in the vébiclc were worth saving.
Let us hope, that on the 24th inst, these
facts will be remembered, and the request
of our city'ofilcials to the railroad directors
for gates will not held vain.
Would that we had more mother's in the

is very chaste nun pretty.

On account of the extreme dry weather and

A correspondent of the Boston Gazette re-
lates the following interesting stery about
the venerable Peter Cooper: “Nearly every
daybe drives down to his office, and stays
there for a few hours. As he comes out to
his coupe he is surrounded by a bevy of seedy
looking men. Each in turn steps up to
him with a ‘Good day, Mr. Cooper: and an
expectant look in his eye, and just as regu-
larly the benevolent old gentleman puts his
hand in his pocket and gives him a lane of
money and a ‘Good day to you.’ ‘ by do
you let these people annoy you, Mr. Cooper?
asked an impatient young man the other day.
‘They don’t annoy me at all,’ said, the phi-
lanthropist. ‘They are old friends of mine,
poor fellows. Many of them have seen bet-
ter days. They don’t want much—just
enough for a dinner or a lunch. When I am '
ready to leave the office I put a few dollars
in change in my pocket, and give it to them
whenthey speak to me. They expect it,you
know, and I wouldn't like to disappoint
them.’ ” _

“Glorious Fourth,” “is fast becomin de-

blown to atoms by exploding howitzers.”
The Richmond (Va) Advocate has the fol-
lowing opinion of northern people: “They.
were on the wrong side during the ’war.
They were given to heresics. They are ava-
ricious. And, somehow. nearly every morn-
ing in opening the papers, some Yankee has
given a million to found a charity, endow a
college, or start a ‘plant’ for the poor. , All
these queer things puzzle us. The religion
of the Yankee runs to udder for the feeding
of the race. The religion of the south, we
fear, is likely to develop in the line of Texas
cattle—all horns, elevated, hard and hol-
low." . . .
