“It were better for him' that a millstone-
New Haven Railroad truck nearly three
hundred feet north, was pawn-d the
buildings which now occupy «no panties

a machine shop, 147x48 feet, three stories
high, with at one story addition, 81x87, in the
rear: a foundry. 118x76 feet ; a blacksmith
shop N36; and on engine house 20:80.
The water front is 285 feet, along which is
built a convenient dock, accessible to vessels
drawing ten feet of water, sud on which are
erected buildings for the stonge of coal,
clay, sand, and other bulky supplies. These
min buildings are all hand withsteun,
lighted with gas,and supplied with water
throughout. The premises ere so well pro-
tected against firesthataulnsunncesecms
almost unnecessary. Besides a lnrge supply
of buckets placed in convenient positions
ready for use, and two large water tanks on
the upper floor, a thirty horse power pump
stands ready at any time to draw water
from the river through a six inch pipe, and
deluge the whole buildings, and in fact the
whole neighborhood
“'hile these buildings were being erected,
ouChrbtmas of 1&6, the cmnpany purchased
the busine- of George Dwight, Jr., 5'. Co.,
of Springfield, Mass, and incrvssed their
mpital stock to “0,000. With this pur-
chase the original plans of the company
dimged, they coming into possession of the
valuablefxuohiseowhHhsvegiven theee
tablishment its present character. In Octo-
ber, 1867, the buildings being completed, the
businem was removed from Springfield,
where it had been conducted by the company
since its purchase, and the Norwslk Iron
Works become a fixed fact in our community.
The two most valuable patents of which
the company are proprietors are the Earle
Steam Pump, and their own Patent Bal-
anced Piston Valve. That the reader may
better understand the promos of manufac-
ture, we will give a brief description of these
two machinist The engines of this compa-
ny‘s manufacture are what are popularly
celled stationary, as distinguished from 1000-
motives. They present to the eye 3 picture
of compnctness, simplicity, and strength.
The peculiar feature which first attracts our
attention is the fact that the cylinder; the
ways on which the (noes-bead travels, and
which guides the piston rod; and the bear-
ing that carries the crank end of the fly wheel
shaft, are a single piece of cost iron; instead
of being made in different parts and fast-
ened together as in all other engines we have
ever seen. This advantage nlonc, we should
think, would recommend them above all
others. The essential characteristic of the ma-
chine, however, is hidden within its cylinder
—the balanced piston valve. “'e cannot at-
tempt to give a detailed description of this
device, but will attempt to illustrate the prin-
ciple which gives it its name. A common
slide valve consists of a movable piece of
iron, plawd tlatly on the inside of the steam
valve, over the hole. As the steam chest is
filled with compressed steam seeking vent,
this valve is pressed with the full “ weight “
of the steam against the inside of the
chest. Now in the action of an engine, with
every stroke this valve must be pushed from
or pulled over the orifice, and of course, in
so doing, all the friction caused by the press—
ure of steam against its flat side must be
overcome. It is like pulling a sheet of pa-
per from under a heavy pile of books. The
Balanced Valve, of which this company own
the patent, is an ingeniously contrived in-
strument, upon all sides of which the steam
beers with equnl force. It is as different
from a common slide valve as could easily
be imagined, consisting simply of a common
piston (or rather two—one for each port)
working in a cylinder of its own, within the
steam chest 2 " balanced “. in fact in that
fluid, and inhaling it, when open, from all
sides When we remember that the pressure
of steam is from fifteen to three hundred
pounds to the square inch, the claim of the
company that from fifteen to twenty per
cent. of the power of the engine issaved by
this device seems quite reasonable.
The Earle Steam Pump is, like the en-
gine, a model of simplicity. It dimers from
all other pumps, in being supplied with the
Earle Valve ; in being made of but one piece,
and so arranged as to receive the steam
necessary to cmnplete in throw from the
main cylinder; in having no “ dead points,"
at which some auxiliary motive power must
be applied to start it; end in the simplicity
of its construction. It has received the
highest testinsonhls from pncticll engineers,
miners and manufacturers who have tested
it and the company have two gold medals
from the Maryland Institute, one gold al
from the American Institute, n silver medal
from the Morena Hechanlm Associa-
tlon,mdacenlficateof superiorityoverall

of

manufacture theit own brass,- and mix their
own iron, the proportion of Scotch iron to
American in their castings being one-sixth.
They consume about one hundred and twen-
tv-flve pounds of brass and three tons of
iron per day. They have facilities for casting
a piece weighing eighteen tons; but the
heaviest casting yet turned out was of seven
tons, and the largest cylinder they have yet
made was six feet in diameter and ten feet
long. _
By far the most interesting feature of
this part of the mauufactory is the pre-
paration and manipulation of “ cores." In
making machinery, and particularly in the
manufacture of valves and cylinders, where
steam and water is led through hidden and
deviating channels, like blood through the
veins of the body, it is necessary that the
costings be perforated with galleries and pos—
sage ways in places where no drill, or chisel,
or other instrument could penetrate. The
mode by which this is accomplished is by no
means a specialty of ”the Norwalk Iron
Works, nor yet is it a novelty in the trade,
but may be new and interesting to many of
our readers. The “ trick" consists in plac~
ing in the mould, after it is made, a core, or
series of cores, of the exact size and form
of all the hollow parts of the casting, thnt
the metal may flow around them, and when
they are withdrawn n cavity be left in the
casting. It remained, after the idea had been
conceived, to discover some substance which
would be strong enough to hold together
while the hot metal was flowing in about it,
and yet soft enough to be easily removed
after the iron had burdened, and this, after
many experiments, we presume, and failures,
was found in a composition of fine clay,
sand and flour. These cores themselves are
formed in molds, being packed in in a plus-
tic state, nnd then baked like pottely in a
kiln. They are laid in the molds, as before
mentioned, with the greatest cure and exact-
ness; and form, in the most complicated cast-
ings, the skeleton of an internal organization
that only the most skillful mechanical anato-
mist could understknd. After the metal has
hardened about them these cores crumble
easily, and nrc shaken or picked out without
difficulty.
The foundry is a large, high, well ventila~
ted room, and is provided with all the neces-
sary mncbinery for doing heavy work.

Our Town Poor.
To Ute Editor of the Sentinel.
I desire to call the attention of our town
authorities to the condition of the poor
house, and the great want of conveniences
and scmmmodstions that exist there. If
they are already aware that such is the case,
I am sure that by a representation of the
facts to our people they will not refuse
voting the necessary money to remedy the
evil. At the same time would it not be well
to take into consideration the question of
removal, selling the present property and
locating somewhere in a more central loca-
tion.
Surely it is not much to ask that our poor
should be taken care of in a decent manner ;
and I do not think that the amount of lux-
ury experienced at the poor house will
tempt any of thcm to remain paupcrs if
they could any wny help it.

To the Editor of the Sentinel.
We notice in your paper of last week Im
article giving locality to Rowsytun, Five
Mile River, etc. Now we presume your cor-
respondent to be one of a few in this place
who would revive a buried strife, end as his
statements tend to work great injury to pea
plc doing busineim here, we beg leave to cor-
rect them through the columns of your val-
uable paper.
Five Mile River was situated on each side
of Five Mile River Harbor, the district
being about. equally divided by the river.
Some three veers ago a public meeting was
held in this place, and the old Indian name.
“ Rowayton," unanimously adopted. A post-
ofiioe was established under that me, and
the title has since been adopted by the New
York and New Haven Railroad Company as
the name of this place, both postofilcc and
depot being in the town of Norwalk. Al-
though we have bed several meetings, well
attended by people of both sides of the
river, and some difi'erence expressed in the
choice of a new name, no action was ever
taken to divide the district, but all voted-to
drop that long and unwieldy name of “ Five
Mile River." Rowan-05.

A musical event took place in Bridgeport,
on Wednesday evening of last week, in the
production of an opera entitled “ Blanche,“
which. from the fact that its music and li-
bretto were written by home talent, and its
parts sustained entirely by amateurs, should
be a subject of interest to all your readers.
This should particularly be the case, as one
of Norwalk's fairest and most gifted daugh-
ters successfully figured in it, sustaining the
leading character. The bringing out of an
opera in English, under circumstances the
details of which have been fully diluted on
through the Bridgeport dailies, was a novel-
ty, and those who were present will long re-
member it with feelings of pleasure. To
