into the recognition of a Divine law of mor-

some danger that the destructive features‘of
the American Sunday [will be lost, and as-

resist this tendency. Aside from its value

the intellectual and moral education of the
people.
It will do us, dmndants of the Pilgrim Fa—

arrived on the New England coast, they re-

religiously kept the day on board their ves—

fit. inauguration of their hazardous but event-

our institutions upon the Christian Sabbath.
Let their posterity emulate their example, if
not by all the strictnm and severity of their
olnervunce of the day, yet by guarding it
against the intrusions of business, travel and
pleasure, and keeping it. as a day sacred to
God and the soul!
Here is the last word of the New York
World on the nomination of Greeley :—
Bamum, the prince of humbu never of-
fered anything quite so odd monstrous
as the entertainment which ha been arranq—
cd at Baltimore for the present week. The
public mind is not tossed between conflict-
ing possibilities, for nobody expects any
other result than the nomination of Greeley;
but the interest which is wrought up to so
high a pitch subsist: upon the wondering in-
credulity of the public. Of all the strange
things which have ever happened, what can
seem more extraordinary than the nomina—
tion of Horace Greeley as the regular Demo
cratic candidate for President? It being al-
ready certain that the thing will bcdone,the
country watches the process with the same
kind of interest it would feel in looking at a
hungry anaconda about to swallow a stag—
hoofs, branching horns, and nib-when it
Woold nearly coat the anaconda his life to
perform the feat, to say nothing of the pains
0f digestion afterwards.
Such a feat of dcglutition will beperform-
ed at Baltimore tomorrow or next day, when
the Democratic party will gulp down Mr.
Greeley; and as this amazing meal has been
decided on. we can only wish tbeDemocratv
ic party a happy digestion. The “'orld will
contribute no slime to give the animal a
slippery pnsag‘e down the throat of the dc
vourer; but w en the thing is done, it will
do whatever may be in its we: to aid the
digestion, and prevent the mocratic party
going into to id and prolonged stupor by
reason of the envy load upon its stomach.
We trust there may be vigor enough in the
party to digest this monstrous meal, and
mute forth afterwards “ as well as could be
expand."
Some dissat'sfactiou is felt by many of
our citizens at the comparatively easy man-
ner in which the New York rough, Cofley
was let. 05 in our City Court last week. If
such acouudrels can maul and stab whom
they please at $50 a time, they will choose
our city for their favorite pleasure-ground.
Cofl'ey should have been fined and sent to
jail. It was his second ofience in assaulting
men in this city and ought to have been se-
verely punished. How much good the fine
did him is seen in the fact that the first use
of his liberty he made was to go over to
Bridgeport and throw a man into the river.
We hepe if he gets into the hands of the
Bridgeport authorities, this dangerom fellow
will get his (inert!-
If sense had any chance of being heard
againgt the nonsense and noise of our Fourth
_ of July celebrations, we should have sword
to say about the absurdity of our firecracker
and powder-exploding mode of celebrating
theday. Itis undies to say that tothe
halfofour American people whoareblaed

horrors. Moreover it is a day of sacrifice by
fire. An exdranze counts up one hundred
instance of persons killed or maim-
ed for life by the explosion of crackers, fire
worka cannons, etc. The minor and unle-
ported mums must count up many thou-
lands.

—Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Peck visited Boston
and the great Peace Jubilee. They speakof the
city in glowing terms. Good hotel accommo
dations were obtained without difficulty, they
having to wait but a few hours to be assign-
ed rooms. That sort of delay happens often
at Saratoga, Newport and the Falls, and
nothing is thought of it. The Grand Chorus
of 20,000, fairly electrified them. and the
bands shed the sweetest of music. They
pronounce the stories about failure published
in the New York papers as wholly without
foundation in fact, and remark that audi-
ences of from 15,000 to 25,000 people were
in the coliscum every day. On Wednesday,
when President Grant was present the total
number of persons in the building was over
70,000. New York never saw the time she
could gather so many together under one
roof. As to the performers there was the
actual numbcrudvcrtiscd. The New York
gnrnc of promlsiug 5,000 and only showing
1800, as at the Beethoven Centennial at the
rink in 1870, is not practiced in Boston.
They do as they say they will up there. The
Wednesday night ball was it perfect crush.
Every acre of the vast coliscum wascovcred
with a mass of human beings, all bent on
dancing despite the heat and threatening
weather outside. Mr. and Mrs. Puck were
pleased with what they heard in the way of
music, and unhcsitatingly say they are ain-
ply repaid for pains taken or money spent.
They will remember the trip with its inci-
dents and instructive lessons, always.
—The Weston Boarding School's annual
printer] circular is before us. Through the
enterprise and ability of Mr. Andrew S. Jar.
vis, Proprietor and principal, this school has
been brought to a high standard, and new
plans for still further advancing the facili-
ties for procuring education, already nearer
perfection than of any school of its size in
the State, are going forward. )Ir. Jarvis.
announces a new corps of teachers for the
season. For the military Department Col.
John J. Garnctt, “'cst Point graduate, class
of '61. Department of General Instruction,
Mr. A. C. Barron, of Cornell gl’niversity;
Classical, Mr. Bolden ; French and German‘
Mr. Speich; Music, Charles E. Daniela A
Riding School under charge of Col. Gar-
nett, is a feature of the establishment. Mr.
Jarvis gives his entire personal attention to
the school, and adheres to the original plan,
which has been productive of so much good,
viz : The strengthening of muscular as well
as mental powcr. It will be seen that while
tiltse boys are able to go through gracefully
with military evolutions which are in fact
wonderful for their years, they are able at
the some time through training in another
direction to furnish original matter for what
they fondly term the “ Boarding School Ca-
det." A paper much above the average as
compared with sheets edited by older heads.
Every boy is compelled to work during
working hours, and he must play too, when
time for play comes. Under this system
they grow up with minds and bodies disci-
plined—worth something when obliged to
goforth into the world, The school com-
menced its summer session on J uly 8th. We
shall watch the boys with interest, and
Would be pleased to have the Principal give
us a list of their names.
—The fine of $50.10 which was imposed on
Mr. J. Cofi'y for breach of the peace, and for
resisting officers in this city last week, ap—
pears to have done little good, for he went
right over to Bridgeport, and perpetrated a
deed which has thrown that city into the
greatest excitement. The facts are as fol-
lows: Cofi'y,(who goes under the assumed
name of _ Curtis,) and several others, includ-
ing a colored man named Perry Hughes had
been to a saloon in East Bridgeport on Mon-
day cvening. They stayed late and at. 2
o’clock on Tuesday morning were on their
way to Bridgeport, crossing the New York
and New Haven railroad bridge When
half way scram they halted. Later, Lud-
wig Tierce from Southport, who had been
with the party came up. All hands were in
liquor. _Tierce and Cofl'y had some words.
Among others, Tierce said, “ Don't say that.
I have killed more than one man for saying
that." Whereupon Coffey replied, “Well,
you won't kill another,” and taking hold of
Tierce, lifted and buried him over the rail.

thewhole transaction and was frightened at
it, Cody and those with him fled, but Hughes
remained, gave the alarm, and soon police:-

taken to arrest Cory but withoutsueeeas.

were hurt, but it took six hours to get the
cars upon the track again. .

——Tl1e Bridgeport Leader says, the light-
ning of Thursday evening struck the fire
alarm telegraph some where in the second
circuit, or. in the dimer portion of a: city,
and completely knocked its Whole woi‘king
machinery out of kilter. The electric fluid
in passing through some of the bore? melt-
ed the metalic pins and fused the coils there-
ln. So much was it injured that not a sin-
gle fire alarm box on the whole circuit
would give an alarm.
—0n the Fourth, a bullet found its way
through swindow' pane in Mr. H. H.151-
wcll’s residence on High street. It evident-
ly came from a distance, as there was no
discharge of fire arms outside. A son of Mr.
Elwell‘s was setting near the window in-
side, and narrowly escaped instant death.
People should avoid putting bullets in their
guns especially on Independence day. Blank
cartridges speak loud enough.
—-On the Fourth, a little daughter of Mr.
D. L. Millard had been presented with a
package of torpedoes. Mrs. Millard the
mother thought it advisable to remove the
sawdust and thus keep her carpets from be—
ing littered. The little girl took the clean
torpedoes and put them into a box, and
dancing them up and down joyfully inber
hands, the whole concern exploded with a
loud noise. Particles of gravel flew into
the face of the young Miss, whose eyes at.
first were thought to be injured. it tumed
out however that she was more scared than
hurt.
—-Thc Steamer Americus makes her first

—The'Boaton Saturday evening Frpress
says, “Financially, the Xusical Peace Jubi-
lee allows a square hundred thousand on the
right side of the Ledger, and the New York
Press made fools of themselves by inform~
ing their readers that it was a fizzle, when

everything ever attempted since the world
began," and adds “the New Yorkers feel
small over their unsuccessful fizzle two
years since when they induced a thousand
Boston singers to help them to get up a Ju-
bilee by holding out false promises and
treating them as if they were it drove
of pigs."
——It will be seen by advertisement in an-
other column, that valuable real estate at
“Pine Point," 2% miles from this city, right
on the sound, is to be sold at auction on
Saturday 20th July, by Jas. Mitchell Esq.
The property has a water front of 700 feet,

Roast clams, whether theyare treeornot,

—An accident took place in this city on
Saturday evening last which turnbhed new
proof of the invaluable services which pat-
ent air-brakes are daily rendering to railroad
trains in uses of emergency. The 4.80
train, Conductor Ward Nichols from New

under way, when Engineer George Corbett,
always vigilant at his post, discovered a
horse, carriage,’_with a gentleman, lady, and
little girl in it, approaching. They appeau

Broa, T. Morison, E. W;‘Stewart,and E.
A. Chichester, whose residence were lib
erally covered. Many pretty devices were
seen along the line, but the “ Star Spangled
Banner," always beautiful, and beautifying
all that it touches, was seen at every turn of
the eye, and of itself was suflicient to indi-
cate the spirit of the people. At the bridge
there was a prodigious display of national
flags—greater than was ever seen there be
fore.
Promptly at the hour appointed the pro-
cession was formed on West avenue, oppo-
site Elmanworth, under the direction of Mr.
J. T. Prowitt, who had been appointed Mar-
shal in place of Mr. S. Daskam, who was
unavoidably absent. Messrs E. B. Price, 0.

generally.
In the streets through which the proccs»
sion passed, had assembled crowds of citi—
zens, and there were many demonstrations
of applause. About one‘half hour was re-
quired for the procession to pass a given
point, and it arrived at the green at 11.30.
Here was an immense throng of human be
ings, literally covering the acres in and
around the square, which was the centre of
attraction. Platforms for speakers had been
erected, and the orator of the day, and in-
vited guests were escorted to seats prepared
for them. Mr. A. B. “'omlward, supplied
the place of Chief Judge Butler, President
of the Day, who was absent through illness.
The venerable Rev. Augustus Collins, of
Norwalk, uttered a short but fervent prayer,
followed by music from the band from \Va~
terbury.
Rev. Mr. chg, Jr., read the nation‘s Dc-
claration of Independence. and immediately
after, Rev. W. H. Thomas, of this city, de-
livered an oration pronounced by all who
heard it, to be the finest efi'ort of the kind
ever given in Norwalk. The delivery re-
quired about thirty minutes. “76 give it
complete in an outside column. At its con—
clusion, Col. N. J. white, of Danbury, was
called on and indulged in a humorous speech
of some length. He said : “Some five or
six hundred Simpawaugs, Shepaugs, Winne-
psugs, and Pahquioquos, were met to-day
coming over the same T-rail, to partake of
the fragrant Quahaug and the sparkling wa-
ter, etc." America and the grand old Dox-
ology was sung by the people. Rev. S. B.
Bissell pronounced the Benediction, and im-
mediately after the throng dispersed to par-
take of dinner, which had been bountifully
prepared by Hooper. Great were the appe.
tiles and greater the thirst of many thousand
parched souls. It took but a short time to
get rid of a ton of ice laid in for the occa-
sion, and as for that array of cold meat and
good things of all sorts too numerous to
mention. we will not undertake to follow.
Suffice it to say the eating gave satisfaction,
and the drinking told a good story for the
quality of Nurwalk’s new supply of water.
The heat at this juncture was great, and the
luxury of being under the tent, or under
the shade of numerous trees for which the
green is noted, was a luxury freely enjoyed.
Several hours were here passed, The water
works’ trial resulted to the satisfaction of
the people and the authorities. Streams of
water were thrown to a great height, and it
is said the pipes gave a good account of
themselves—not one being reported as bro.
ken. The intrdduction of water into Nor.
,walk is a splendid success—n triumph which
prment and future generations will have
cause to bless.
' The Fantastic display, what there was of
it, was funny in the extreme, but the great
heat put it beyond their power, even had

MAYOR’S OFFICE, 1
SOUTH NovaLK, July 5, 1872. f
To the IIonorable C’ouncdme' n of the City of
South Normal/c.
GENTLEMEN :-—I herewith submit to you,
in accordance with usage, a report of the
condition of the City in relation to its finan-
ces. government, etc, and also rewectfully
_ our consideration, certain sug-
gestions wh ch seem proper to the mien.
General satisfaction has prevailed, in my
opinion, during the past year—the second
under our City Charter—in regard to our
City government.
During the past year there have been re‘
solved $213 for various licenses granted;
being ’50 in excess of the previous year.
There have been $13,138.24 received for
City taxes, and there remains $2,601.38 of
City taxes, duly laid, still uncollected.
There have been expended,$2,230.42 to do.
fray the expense of the Police Department.
$1,249.78 have been expended for public light-
ing the streets.
There have been paid $1,466.54 for repairs
to the roads “'11th the city ; being $639.98
less than was expended the previous year.
There are however, as I am informed, some
bills yet unpaid, and the roads DOW in Pm
cess of repair and alteration will require a
considerable amount to complete. or the
$6000 appropriated by the town for mini:9
m highways the current year, $1,725 was al-
lulled 0 this city; being $175 less than was
allot! the previous year, while the same
amount was appropriated by the town. 0f
th-' amount allotted to this City, to repair
tlw roads Within the City limits, onlv one
hull, or $862.50, have yet been received; the
balance will, I presume, ere long be paid to
the City. It can readily be seen by the
amount already expended, and present con-
dition of the roads, that the amount allotted
to this City of the town appropriation was
inadequate. It was less than a fair propor-
tion in my opinion.
Our City has been remarkably Deacefd
There has
been but little riotous or disorderly conduct.
Very little disturbance in the night season
has occurred. Quiet has generally prevailed.
The efficiency of our Police has undoubted-
lv contributed to this result. A policeman’s
duty IS a responsible one, and to our Police
we greatly owe our municipal order and
quiet. Our Police Officers should be encour-
aged by public sentiment in discharging their
duty. _Qur Police should be composed of
lawnbtdrng and temperate men ; they
should avord a tyrranical display of official
power; he fearless and resolute in the dis‘
charge of duty, and have command of tem-
per, and be lenient, (so faras they consistent.
ly can bc,) and not be abusive to those they
have mcasion to arrest. So far as I am aware
our Police Force includes only such men.
Fortyfive persons have been arrested during
the past your, (being eight less than the pro
V3.0” year), of which Were for intoxication,
2a ;_ assault, 10; theft, 4; burglary, 2; incest,
l; insulting and abusive language, 1. Fif~
teen stores have been found by the Police
and taken charge of by them, the doors of
which were left unfastcned at night by the
occupants, during the past ear.
Complaint has frequently been made to
inept the violation of section seven of “ an
ordinance relative to Nuisances ;" as the
crimes committed-the in‘ury or defacement
of property—are invariah y done at. night, it
IS extremely difficult to detect the perpetra-
tors, and accomplish their arrest. In view
of the considerable amount of property in-
Jurcd and destroyed, and that this lawless
ness may be stopped, I recommend your
honorable Board to authorize a liberal re~
ward to be ofi‘ered for proof sufiicient to con—
vict for the violation of the section, or any
part of the section, of the ordinance referred
to. 7
In conclusion allow me to say, our citizens,
while in my opinion are in favor of moder-
ate improvements, expect. us [to be economi-
cal to expending public money, and to be
Jealous of all waste and leakage.
’lrustmg that courtesy and consideration
toward each other will characterize your de—
liberations, I wk your indulgence in my re-
lations With your Board, and trust you and I
may be guided in our official actions by Him
from whom cometh wisdom.
