tion with New York, the metropolis of the
country. For this, if. for nothing else, the
buainess people of that region will ever feel
themselves fortunate, and the corporation
which foamed ad completed it will ulti‘
mately share in lta benefits
From the first day after completion to the
present, than has been inclination on the
part of many to traverse the route and per-
. aouallyinspoctwhathadboeudone. Large
numbers went to Lftchlold, and each indi-
vidual came bad pleased with what he had
seen and enthusiastic in praises of those who
hadlaboredln behalfofa railroadinthat
quarter. Everybody talked about the She-
paug Valley Railroad, and everybody wanted
to ride over it. It was with good grace and
of the Danbury and Norwalk road decided
to get up a grand excursion for thc bene~
fit of the stockholders, over the named
roads to Litchfleld, and the style in which
their numerous invitations to accompany
were accepted, shows how well the public
appreciated. Thursday, Aug. 8th, was the
day fixed upon, and a fairer never shone.
An exhilarating atmosphere ushered it in,
and drawn forth by it and the prospect of a
season of enjoyment among the bills of the
north, quite a crowd assembled on the depot
platform in this city at the hour appointed.
Kr. Faiwiu Lockwood, the venerable
President of the Daubury and Norwalk
Railroad, was absent by reason of illness,
but his suggutlona in regard to details of
the day's programme were fully carried
out by other amour: of the road. Su-
perintendent J. W. Bacon, of the Dan-
bury and Norwalk Railroad, was on hand
to aid in making up the train and assist in
securing to guests every possible comfort.
Mr. Trubee, Superintendent of the Koran
Railway, seemed ubiqultous in his move—
ments, and to him the party owes much.
Five passenger and two baggage cars
had been provided for the cxcumionista
Through an open door of the latter could
have been seen a half dozen wooden rcccp-
tsclcs with mysterious looking cloths at
their tops. 3 table with something choice
piled upon it, and near, baskets not wholly
empty, cans that asked two men to lift, and
sundry packages marked, as we fancied,
“ Brown «is Wilcox’s beat crush, ten pounds
for a dollar." It was only agllmpae that one
could get, but still mfllcient to convey elo-
quently the luxury in store. D'Artois‘s
aproncd form now darted pant, along with
others practiwd in his argued thus made
quick solution of the puzzled problem.
Meantime the company augmented, and,
after short ‘delay, which proved agreeable
rather than otherwise, the whistle shrieked,
conductor cried “All aboard l" and, in an-
swer thereto, each selected a seat, and the
train slowly started on its way.
Among the numerous guests from this
city, we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Eben Hill,
Misc Hill, Hrs. John Ferris. R I. Tones,
Mrs. W. H. Ferris, Ron. D. P. Ely and

latrengthdhe- .Weantauaug, decorated with
Makingassaistaucc at the rearfroma
machine notices courageous and formidable.
In thismauner the first four miles on the
Shepaug were made, people rushing from
their houses to get a sight at us. To those
who have ridden on the great Erie Railroad
and who have seen how it interwinds among
the hills and mountains of New York, the
crooks and turns of the Shepaug track will
cause no surprise. And when we say the
Shepaug road is very crooked, it is not with
sentiment of disparagemeat, but rather of
praise and delight, to know that the WOrk
of bending could be» well done trains be
enabledto move so safely, and at speed that
can scarcely be credind. The road-bed is
magnificently laid. solid throughout as the
rock. As we dart along past rocks and
mountains, rivulets and cultivated fields,
wingonr way through tracts of forest, reach-
ing dizzy heights on one side, and descend
to frightful depths on the other, the mind
finds enough of intemt to ponder on. At
intervals on either side were fertile fields,
brought to subjection by sturdy bands. In
many of them farmers were seen at work
with hay. Leaning upon their scythes they
waved their hands, in token of welcome, and
cheered as we passed from sight. Far as the
eye could reach, no matter where, heavy
forests of hemlock, oak and chestnut timber
were seen, and theirvarious shades of green
foliage appeared mom picturesque.
Reaching Roxbury we saw on the right,
where, in the spring, when water rushes rap—
idly, would be magnificent cascades, the
river's bed now bare by reason of the dry
weather. On the left, the product of a large
iron mine. the pigs piled up ready for ship-
ment to South Norwalk. The Bridgeport
Bwel Manufacturing Company pronounce
this ore superior to any they can get. Be-
yond Roxbury, and before reaching Wash-
ington, we pass through a tunnel of solid
rock, and though shorter reminds one of
Harlem. Soon we pass over a bridge, so
high from the water, that to gaze downward
almost takes one‘s breath away. Its timbers
are staunch and we have no fear. Luxuriant
tobacco fields are seen continual! y the plants
looking vigorous, wellvudvmced, and very
suggestive of taking a smoke. Going for-
ward to the baggage car for that purpoeenve
find Mr. Charles Nettleton, of New York, a
native of this region, and one who is able to
name every hillock for miles around and tell
its history. Mayor Ely has already lighted
an " Old Well Club." Mr. C. B. Hotchkiss,
of Bridgeport, puffs his fragrant Havana,
says he has not. looked upon this region
since ’40 when he “ went courting" to Litch-
tleld. By this the reason why he left his
wife at Howleyville in the morning iaex-
pinned. Mr, Newman tells stories, calls
our attention to every interesting object,
shows us. the house where the mother of
Roger Averill was born, points us to Mount
Tom, whose crest, by reason of our close
proximity to its foot, seems to touch the
clouds; tells us of ast lake of water at its
top where pickerel of the finest kind may be
caught; describes Mount Ararat, so called
for local reasons. and makes us familiar with
points that heretofore we had never dreamed
of.
But. now the sun's pelting mys tell upon
the patience of the ladies. They thirst, and
C. B. D’Artois, assisted by Mr. Michael Noo-
nan and Mr. Jackson, of New York, bring
on a tank of lemonade just in the nick of
time. The swaying cars impede their pro-
gress through, but nothing can detract from
the exquisite goodness of the fluid.
Lake Wammsug now hove in sight. It is
a. pretty sheet of water and must be fit for
fishing. The acres of cord wood piled up on
every hand remind one of Chappaqua, and
that some Greeley sage has here been plying
hlsvocation. The engine now encounters
prodigious grades, and groans in ed'ort to
ant-mount them.
We now reach Bantam with its series of
picturesque dams and falls, and gaze down
upon sheets of water apparently a hundred
feet below the track. Up another heavy
grade, and over a three mile stretch of level

The members of this organization to the
number of about one hundred, from all?
parts of the State, assembled in this city by
appointment, on Friday morning last. The
day, although a fair one, was sultry, and
the boys congregated under the trees and on
the verandah of Foote's Hotel. to await or-
tiers and the arrival of members. The
South Nortvalk City Band, in full regimen-
tsls, were out, and gave fine selections by
way of filling up the time. At 11 o‘clock,
the members were provided with red badges
and filed into Military Hall, accompanied by
Senator Ferry and others, including many
visitors from adjacent towns. A business
meeting was held and the following officers
elected for the ensuing your:
President—Capt. E. E. Marvin, of Hart-
ford.
Vice—Presidcnt—H. C. Randall, nf W'il-
ton.
Treasurer—l). B. Hamilton, of Water-
bury.
Sacretary—W. H. Bottsford, of Bridge
port.
A committee of arrangements for 1873
was then appointed, and New Haven fixed
on as the next place to reunite, the commit—
tee to decide as to what point in the city it
should be held. Mr. Ferry expected to
make aspeoch to the boys, but his health
did not admit of it The regiment, at 12
o'clock, tiled into the street, and, headed by
the band, marched to Nor-walk and paid re-
spects to the citizens who had so liberally
contributed money for the day’s entertain-
ment. They were then conveyed to Greg-
ory‘s Point in carriages, and partook of a
clam. bake, gotten up specially for their
benefit. Acouple of hours at table and a
sight at the ground surrounding, after the.
repeat, proved ’conclnsively that those veter-
ans were not afraid of shells.
Aspeecll had been expected from Capt.
Marvin, at the close of the bake. He came
.mparod with. the following. poem instead,
the reading of which drew forth rapturous
applause. We give it entire: -

Hope Deferred.
Monday was the time appointed for the
Plantamour Comet to strike the earth, and
dash it to pieces. When the word was
passed round that the end was near, there ’
was much tribulation among the super-fl-
tious, but on. Sunday, although warned in”
semen, we could not count any more heads
present at church services than on ordinary
Sundays. A dense fog and prodigious heat
on Monday morning bespoke the truth
of philcmphic prediction, but 11 o'clock,
thefaéalhournamed, arrived, passed; the‘
sands of the remaining hours ran outnumber a
