1 Surprise.—
Lust Friday evening. during the regular
session of Lincoln Council No. 4. 0. U. A .M.
the order was surprised by a delegation of
mechanics from various lodges—fourteen
from Star Council No. 40. of Hoboken. N.
J ; three from Union Council No. 175. of
Philadelphia. Pa.. and others from various
Councils in New Jersey. Thcifiarrivsl was
entirely unexpected. and their mission a
mystery. until 1!. S. Fling. counsellor of
Star Council. spoke in general terms of the
Order. and of Lincoln Council in particular.
whose hospitality he. with others. had en-
joyed. at a turkey supper in November 1873.
and thereupon presented Lincoln Council in
behalf of Star Council with a pair of
dowels—emblems of the Order. lie was
followed by A. W. Lattiuuor. who pro‘
vented them with a beautiful emblem of his
own workmanship. handsomely framed.
Whitney Sloato. Supt. of Weehawkcn Oil
Works. presented them with a motto
made by his daughter. (There is a rumor
of closer relations between this osternablo
young lady and It. E. Kinney of this city.
but that is a private matter. which nowaps
pore must not any anything about.) He was
followed by Geo. W. White. State Council-
lor of New Jersey. who pmonted the Order
with an anvil. Mr. White spoke of the kind
feelings exblsting throughout the oedor and
of that between Star Council and Lincoln
Council. Addresses were made by other
brothers and the exercises were interaperced
with singing. The evening was spent in the
most sociable and happy manner. and both
the visitedsnd visitors vlod with each other
in making the occasios pleasant.

motley crowd assembled to hear what wit-

road widening. There was High Sherid

to take care of Aldon‘a intereetg. and Israel
hf. Bullock to see that justice was done the
town. M. W. Wilson wesarouud and so was
3. J. Taylor. Mr. Alva Gray was the prin-
cipal witness and he was examined at length.
He was an appraiser of the real estate of the
late It. II. Winslow. now ovrned by Mr. Al.
demand stated that all he could make the
property worth at that time including house
furniture. barns. carriages. and land was
about 000.000.:though it had enjoyed the
reputation of being worth 0800.000. The
original cost of the property to Mr. Winslow
was only about “0.000. and he believed it
would not sell for that sum tc-day at auction.
And yet men of judgement. so called from
South Norwalk. Southport and other places
had the check to say that. inking a little
strip ofl'tbc north side for the road widen-
ing should make the town liable to pay
damages ranging from 00.000 to 310.000.
He thought the idea preposterous. and could
not give it his sanction however much the
present owner needed the money. or words
to that effect. Othor witnesses were exnm-
tried and other views heard. What the re-
sult will he remains to be soon. In the
opinion of those prcaont. and indeed those
who were absent. the widening la uncalled
for. and in view of the towns present in-
debtedness it should be disoontlnund. The
road. they say is only traveled by a few pri-
vate parties. is not strictly a thoroughfare.
and its width is ample for all present ro-
qulrcments. Not only that. there are those
who stand ready to put the reed in order

muulllea. Soot l Nurwalk. formerly known
as “Old Well.“ is an incorporated cit . di-
rectly on tho line of the railroad. and mul-
ing upon the Sound. Norwalk. on tho oth-
er hand. is located one and a half miles to
tho northward. and has its own distinct cor-
porate o anisatiou. Of course. however.
the rolat out between the two places are of
the most intimate character. They are.
moreover. connected by a line of borao cars.
It is of South Norwalk that we repose
first to speak. Certainly wo shall nvo to
look far to find a more acllvo. bustl ing little
city of five thousand people than this is. On
every side city~likc blocks of brick stores
and offices meet the sinner. There are
steamboat! and numemua smaller ‘otaft at
the wharf. the Danhurv Railroad shoots otl‘
northward front the depot where we stand.
while the streets extending in every direct
llOll have all the air of activity one expects
to see in a place of five times t e also.
A few words. now. about its history.
Role. formerly. they say. West India trading
vessels were wont to send crows ashore for
their sup lies of watt-Mann a famous well
near the s cm. and hence the orlulnal name
of “ Old well." Even then there was a con-
aldcrablc village bore. including quite a
number of useful industries. But then the
railroad came. and the p }oe began to grow
apron. until. five years it was incorps~
rated as the city of Sou Norwalk. and un-
der that name it stands forth to day as proud
and proltv a city. for its also. as can be
found in New England.
If we stroll through its streets we shall
and churches of the E isoonal. Presbyteri-
an. Counregational. etbodlat. and Btptiat
denominations. fine public school buildings.
two hotels. a newspaper. the Sentinel. and
numerous mills and factories. among which
several are devoted to the manufacture of
hats. We shall and. too. established here.
the First National Bank of South Norwslk.
chartered in the year 180d. under the Na-
tional Banking Act of Congress The rev-
ent President. Hon. Dudley P. Ely. an the
Cashier J. J. Millard. Esq. have been in
charge of this institution nearly from its in‘
caption. It has done a safe and prosperous
business. so that. besides psyittk its divi-
dends larly. it hasaccutnulated eeurplus
of sixty t sussed dollars. nut counting the
enhancement in the value of its securities.
The Palrdeld County Fire Insurance Cum-
.psny also has its ofloea and headquarters
(booth Nut-walk. This institution to one
of the prominent Insurance nice of

But t is as a place of; residence that. final-
3 and with the most interest we must con-
der the claims of this livel and attractive
city. Certainly. after what as been already
told. the reader cannot doubt but that he
will and bore a m is who. alrsre combine-
tlon of city accumulations and rural sur-
roundings. In its quiet shaded streets. or
further out towards the rapid growing su-_d
bulbs. may be found scores of building sites.
which tempt the seeker for a Home on the
Sound to come and make himself the posses-
sor of oneof them. A rich soil. mild cli-
mate. tlcc drives. moderate taxes. good
drinking water. churches. schools stores.
and every modern convenience. nil join to
commend South Norwalk to those who hav-
ing amassed a competency yet desire to be
w thin convenient distance for an hour or
two‘s daily business in the metropolis.
Properly can be had by the lot. plot or acre
at rates which are certainly moderate in
view of the surroundin and advantages.
And in this connection 1 may be stated thn'
among the institutions recently established
in this city is the banking. real estate and
insurance office of Mr. Melville E. Mead.
who. formerly a wholesale ry merchant
in New York City. doing business in Coon.
tics Slip. subsequentl changed his residence
to Darlen. Conn. an became much interes-
ted in buying and improving real estate in
that town. so noted for its healthfulucss
and the natural beaut of its scenery. Do.
airing to enlarge a bus ness so successfully
luau utatod in Dorian. he saw in the future
of uth Norwslk a centre of commercial
pros rlty. and. associating with him as
chic of the office department. Mr. Jncob M.
Layton. of the National Mechanics Banking
Association of New York. leased of the
lion. Nathan C. Ely. the old bank building
on Washington Strcut. This building was
occu led by the First National Bank 0
Soul Norwalk for about eight yours. until
their new bank buiidlug was completed.
Mr. Mead and Mr. Layton are now both
fully committed to the pros rity of South
Norwslk. and by prompt dos logs and care
ful and uutiriufi energy to their duties. have
won the coull once of the older citizens of
the place. as is shown by the constant in-
crease of their business in each of its depart-
mou s."
