Grade Crossing.
If V the Republican members of our Leg-
' tslature desire to pave the way to a cer-
tain and assured democratic victory in
Connecticut at our next election , they have
only to pass the Grade Crossing Bill pre-
pared by the Railroad lobby and rushed
through the-House, without consideration
or discussion. Treat the railroads fairly,
generously, if you will, but put no such
outrageous burdens on the people of the
State as this bill imposes.

Sewers.
Awriter in a recent work upon “Vil-
lage Improvements ” says that the first
care of a community should be for its
lrealthfulness. Evidently we as a com-
munity are not alive to this necessity. In
the last annual report of the State Board
of Health the death rate of Norwalk is
above the general average, being 20,8 to
17.6, while in its last monthly report the
percentage of our mortality is surpassed
by but one single town—Middletown,
which is unscwered. Such a death rate is
an index of the general prevalence of dis-
ease, and gives us the unsavory reputation
of being an unhealthy town.
The introduction of an abundant water
supply into our midst has been, no doubt,
a public good, but it has also forced upon
us other and absolute needs. These ne-
cessities must be met, or else what should
be an unmixed blessing, become a potent
factor of disease.
The estimated daily consumption of
water is over thirty gallons per capita, and
the waste must be disposed of; either
through conduits discharging at a safe dis-
tanec, or spread broadcast over the sur—
face of the earth and hidden beneath its
soil. The latter condition obtains in the
borough. But the water is not returned
pure as received. Laden with products
from our manufaetories, polluted with the
debris of vegetable and animal decay,
the excrements of animal and human filth
it permeates the grounds surrounding our
homes, or is hidden in the noxious cess-
pool or vault. 'Ihe result of this is patent.
A supersaturated soil turning with an un-
healthful moisture, a veritable hot bed of
disease, only awaiting the advent of the
specific germ to become a garden of death.
The physical problem of the age is the
prevention, quite as much as the cure of
" :.-. are many abodes in the

all'this is to remove the cause. There is
but one way out of the dilemma and that
is through a thorough system of sewerage.

More Railway Intelligence.
The New York, New Haven and Hart-
ford Railroad Company has given out the
contract for the grading work on the four
tracks to Rye to R. A. Malone &. Co., of
Lancaster, Penn. Work will be begun at
an early date, and it is stipulated to be
completed by November 1.
President Clark, has appointed W. E.
Chamberlain, of the Boston and Albany,
superintendent of the Harlem River branch
of the Consolidated road, the appointment
to take effect May 1. This is another
new oflice, the duties having heretofore
been conducted by F. C. Payne, the agent
at Harlem River. W. A. Waterbury, has
been removed from the position of sup-
erintcndentof the Shore Line division and
will take sole charge of the Air Line divi-
sion. E.G.Allen, at present superintend-
cnt Of the Eastern division of the New
York and New England road, has been
appointed superintendent of the Shore
Line division of the Consolidated road._

A Week of Horse Accidents.
Last week seems to have been unusually
prolific in runaways, collisions, dvc. Ex-
pressman Buxton was first on the list, as
usual. Last Wednesday a carriage con-
taining Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Andrews col-
lided with his express wagon. As might
have been expected, Buxton hit hardest
and the Andrews were left hora do combat.
Next day, Joe Leipnik, of SouthNorwalk,
was thrown from one of Ritch’s buggies
on Cress street, and quite severely shaken
up, while the horse and carriage, minus a
wheel, continued on to the city. Sunday,
Mrs. John McKeon and babe, with her
two sisters and their children, were de-
posited in the roadway, from one of Greg-
ory’s two seat rockaways, near the Second
M. E. church, in consequence of a wheel
breaking. The horse then ran around
Bclden avenue, across Brady’s bridge, up
North avenue towards its stable, breaking
off still another wheel, but doing no further
injury. The ladies and children were
pretty badly bruised, but fortunately not
seriously hurt. Dr. Hyatt invited them
.into his house and Dr. Baldwin was in-
stantly on hand, but found no serious in-
juries to call for his professional treatment.

A Rare Chance.
The Bridgeport Savings Bank has put
on the market for sale the late Weston
Military Institute property. This is a
very rare opportunity to secure either a
country home in a location uncxcelled, or
a summer boarding house, or boys’ board-
ing school. The locality is remarkable
for its healtlifulness and the romantic
character of its scenery. It will be sold at
a great sacrifice if applied for soon. See

for to-day's outside. we supply the omis-

The Armory Fair.
The armory fair opened with a boom
Monday. Almost before daybreak the
brave soldier laddies, in their neat and
gaudy uniforms, were astir, hurrying
hither and yon in pursuit of this, that and
the other; the soliciting committee was
about with a gaudily bedeckcd carryall,
gathering in the spoils from our liberal
merchants and other philanthropists, ac-
companied by a vigorous and healthy
drum corps, who, for every favor offered
the committee, gave value received in
patriotic music. The sun shone benignly
on the scene of preparation, and every in-
dication pointed to a bright beginning and
successful session throughout. The new
and capacious armory was gorgeously
decorated with flags, shields and bunting,
draped, festooned and profusely arranged
on all sides and from the ceiling. The
wide expanse along either wall was rapid-
ly filled up with booths by our enterpris-
ing merchants, whose exhibits are large
and handsome.
The fair opened Monday evening under
favorable auspices. A large and desirable
company visited the armory, inspected
the exhibits, Iunclred in the refreshment
rooms, drank from Mead’s inviting soda
fountain, “took chances” on various prize
articles, from a clock to a house and lot;
listened en rapport to the entrancing
strains from Heine’s full brass band}; danced
“the mazy” to the music of Heine’s string
band ; giddy girls and susceptible youths
strolled arm in arm about the capacious
room in the full enjoyment of love’s young
dream, and in various pastimes the even-
ing hours glided by, and at the hour of
twelve the festive assemblage dispersed,
the music was hushed, the lights were ex-
tinguished, and the great building was
left in silence and gloom after a most suc-
cessful opening of the armory fair. The
same scene of life and vivacity will be
enacted each night this week, with interest
and enthusiasm intensified as the fair pro-
gresses, and even at this early stage it is
safe to congratulate Companies F and D
on the prosperous and memorable inaug-
uration of their new armory.
Real. Estate Sales.
The sales of the several pieces of" property
belonging to the Wm. S. Lockwood estate.
on Saturday, clearly show that the phenom-
enally rapid growth of Norwalk in popula-
tion and building has had its natural effect
of enhancing the value of real estate. espec-
ially in and about the borough. The “Old
Bridge Store” was bid off by Mr. Wm B. E.
Lockwood at $5,550. This was fifteen hun-
dred dollars above the sum our most care-
fully conservative real estate men had ap-
praised it. Mr. Lockwood may have felt a
personal pride in having this piece of prop-
erty retained in the Lockwood family, yet
he is a gentleman not likely to pay more
than a thing is worth because of sentiment.
Owning, as he does, the driveway and adja-
cent store on the east side, the property sold
was undoubtedly worth more to him than to
any one else, and about everybody seemed
to feel glad that he was the purchaser. And
now we do hope a successful effort will be
may be made by our borough to cut through
the front of this and the Merrill store on u
straight line westward from the front ofE.
K. Lockwood’s store. N 0 private owner
needs these properties so much as the public
and the public should buy and throw them
into the present pinched and cramped road—
way at this point.
The lot on High street adjoining Mrs.
Geo. It. Cliolwell was purchased by Noah
W. Bradley of Saugatuck. for $1,000. It is
expected that Mr. B. will build a residence
on this sightly lot. Mr. E. K. Lockwood
and Mr. Geo. E. Miller purchased the hub
ance of this eligible plot, extending from
the Bradley lot to North avenue, for $2,500.
The 26 acres of pasture land on Westport
road was purchased by Michael Raichl'ord
for $2,500, which was about double the ap-
praisal. The heirs have good reason to be
satisfied with the prices their property
brought.

Remarkable Declaration. 1
Henry Watterson of the 'Louisville
Courier Journal is credited with these re-
markable declarations :
“I believe it would be a great thing for
the whole country, and for the democratic
party in particular, to break up the solid
south and cease to elect Presidents and
congress on sectional lines. It is coming
as sure as the sun shines. Look at Vir-
ginia with her six republican congressmen
out of eight ; North Carolina is trembling
on the verge of political revolution ; Ten-
nessee doesn’t dare to go out after dark
for fear of finding the house occupied by
some stranger on her return; Alabama is
filling up with northern people and is
bound to be a protection state. All these
things point to a new era in American
politics, and I welcome the day of its
advent.”

Mr. Beecher’s Biography.
The Rev. Mr. Halliday, Mr. Beecher's
assistant in Plymouth church, has been
associated with Lyman Abbott, D. D., in
the preparation of the biography of the
late Mr. Beecher, to which the great
preacher, previous to his death, largely
contributed. It was not proposed to have
either Mr. I'Iallidav’s or Mr Beccher‘s
connection with the book generallyknown,
but the death of Mr. Beecher has _removed
all the objection to the fact being made
public, and now the complete book Will
appear with both Dr. Lyman Abbott’s and
Rev. S. B. Hulliday‘s name on the title
page. They have also been assistedby a
corps of over thirty eminent , writers,
Leonard Bacon, l). 1)., J. G. Whittier and
others, who have contributed reminiscen.
ccs, etc. The work is sold by subscrip-
tion; Mcssrs.‘Wintcr &Co.,of Springfield,
Mass , are engaged in its sale. Their ad-
vertisement appears in another column.

Old. Litchfleld’s Defeat.

. “On Thursday afternoon the committee
on new counties and county seats held
their executive session in the state house
at Hartford. to act upon the bill making
New Milford and “insted shire towns
They decided in favor of the change by a
vote of 6m 2. As Mr. Roraback says,

Hill,‘ even though George Washington
once took breakfast within four miles of
it, at Bantam, which was probably as near
as he could get.”
“MAL“-.. ........... -
Poor Jeff Davis seems to be fatedal-
ways to be quarrelling wrth somebody.
During the rebellion he was in hot water
all the time with leading confederates, and
since the war he has been in perpetual
controversy with those who now believe
that the rebellion was a crime and that
the “lost cause” was not a success. Now
he has crossed pens with General Beaure-
gard, the pet of New Orleans and of the
Louisiana lottery. and the man who (lid
the bulk of tlicfighting from Sumter to
Appomattox. In his remarks at the un-
veiling of the statue of Albert Sidney
Johnston in New Orleans April 6th, Mr.
Davis ventured to remark that General
Johnston’s only mistake at Shiloh was in
trusting too much to his second in .com-
mand, meaning Beauregard, who wasted
a day in making the advance. The result
is a war of words in which it is safe to
predict that the valiant general will cover
the most paper and the ex-presrdent of the '
ex-confcderacy will be sure to have the
last word. When it isall .over we shall
probably know no more about Shiloh than
is already kriown.——00ura7zt.
An Ancient Church and Pastorate.
The first church in Norwalk dates back
to the year 1652 under the ministry of
Rev. Thomas Hanford, which continued
forty.one years. Succeeding pastors Wol'c
Stephen Buckingham, 1697 to 1727; Moses
Dickinson, 1727 to 1778; William Tennent,

volumes, having been left in the person.
age were unfortunately destroyed with
the church covenant, confession of faith,
and catalogue of members. Rev.Roswell
B. Swan, of Stonington, was ordained
pastor January 14,1807, and the present
confession and covenant were adopted
article by article with great unanimity,
harmony and satisfaction April 2d, 1807,
so he records. A new era in the history
of this church commenced thus eighty—
seven years ago, with a catalogue of one
hundred and five living members. Mr.
Swan was then a young man about twenty-
eight years old. His character and his
work were very remarkable, and are held
in great affection and reverence among
the traditions of this church. The church
beginning this new epoch with a new
postor, a new and most orthodox creed;

minster shorter catechism—with only one
hundred and five members, in that year
(1807) received twenty-three on confession ;
the second year, 1808, thirty on confes-
sion; the third year, 1809, twenty-five on
confession; the fourth year, 1810, thirty-
six on confession. Thus in four years Its
membership was more than doubled.
Then followed five years of political
excitement—preparation for and endur-
ance of .var and its effects—during which
years, 1811 to 1815. the increase was only.
twenty. But in 1816, after the war-fever
was subdued by blood letting, religious
interest was revived and one hundred and
ten were added, of whom Mr. Evart
Quintard survives, making two hundred
and fifty received in ten years. The next
special season of ingathering was under
Rev. Sylvester Eaton in 1822, when thirty-
six were added, and the next in 1830
brought in one hundred and three—fifty—
six years ago—of whom few remain in the
church, more of them being in South
Norwalk, including Deacons George Benc-
idict and Stephen G. Ferris. This was
under the ministry of Rev. Henry Bene-
dict, a son of this church. Mr. Swan died
in 1819, aged 40 years, and his sepulclirc,
like that of Dr. Burnett, is on Town House
Hill, and sadly neglected. X. ‘ I

Handsome New Warerooms.
—For the past few years the carpet business of
The D. M.’ Read 00., of Bridgeport has been
steadily increasing until it becomes necessary
for larger quarters. This fact being fully de-
monstrated to them they commenced building
last fall, in order to be in readiness for the
spring trade. They now see the need of the
large and spacious quarters that are added on
account of the excellent light which is received
from the four sides. The main entrance is
now from the large staircase directly opposite
the Fairfield avenue entrance. This brings you
into :t well lighted (lcpartment. devoted to
Royal Wiltons, Axuiinisters, Moqnettes and
Body Brussels. In these grades the elaborate
disylay of new patterns cannot be surpassed by
any house, for never were so runny choice pat-
terns and delicate shadings brought out in
floor-coverings as the present season shows.
Passing along bv the shelving will be seen the
Tapestries and extra super Ingi-ains of the
scveralqualitics. l-lundrrds of” rolls of these
goods meet- tlie gaze of customers. The new
. Brussels effect in Iugraius, of which The Read
Carpet Company have full control. (as they
have just received the patent papers giving
them ex lusivc right for the manufacture), are
meeting with great success. Followng along
through the portion formerly used for the
goods already mentioned, we come to the,
stair carpotings, cheaper grades of ingrains and
the matting department. This very popular
summer covering has been greatly improved on
account of its new general use, so that many
diligent styles can be seen, the same as in
“'(mi carpetings. Their upholstery and house
decorative department occupies the Main street
section and can be easily reached by the stair~
case near the main entrance. When once in
this department the customer is struck with
admiration of" the beautiful Turcomau, Luce,
Madras and Velour curtains, brass, ebony and
walnut poles, raw silk, jute, petli-point and
other drapery material that are here shown.
Adjoining this is the oil cloth and shade sec-
tion, where can be found all widths of oil
cloths, liguum, linoleum, and lignetect, shades
of plain and fancy styles, all made, ready to be
hung, or in the piece, with trimmings, so that
any desired number or pattern can be put up
to the customer’s order. The D. M. Read Co.
are to be congratulated upon this large and
well stocked department. and we trust a. fur-
ther increase in trade will necessitate still
more extended quarters The originality and
good taste in the arranging of their several
stocks is very commendable and is highly rip-
preciated by parties in search of carpetiugs or
house draperies.

A Splendid Circus.
From all reports Norwalk Will be t‘avorcdou
Friday, May 20. with one of the best circuses,
museums and meriageries in the country. It
is the Frank A. ltobbins’ new monster show and
trained animal exposition. It comes to us
highly rec nuuended from all parts of the
country. Mr. Robbins believes in originality,
and for this reason he has gathered together a
host of amazing and astounding novelties
which can be seen in no other establishment of
this kind. Perhaps iherc may be a larger
show, but we doubt if there are any that are
more arousing or which give as much satisfac-
tion to the general public as this one. The
performance occur-sin two rings and on an
elevated stage. and consists of a programme of
unique, novel and amazing features. The
menageric is at large and complete one, in-
cluding ii lul‘gu herd of trained elephants,
whose performance is one of the most astonish-
ing things ever witnessed. At 10 o’clock on the
morning of the exhibition there will occur a
brilliant street parade.in which may be seen
aiiumber ol‘bcautiful chariots, open dens of
animals. and a number of handsome ladies in
beautiful costume, ullof'whicli will give run
some idea ofthe magnitude of this immense.

Genersi Grant’s Birthday.
Thousands of patriotic souls today will
pay special tribute to the meiuory of the
greatest American soldier. In every
Grand Army post throughout the land, in
scores of special gateriugs of survivors of
the Union war, and in hundreds of thous-
ands of loyal homes his name will be in
every heart, his deeds and character will
be the theme on many lips. As the swift
years pass and the actors in the great
drama, which involved the life of the
nation, are so rapidly passing off the stage,
the fact becomes more and more evident
that the name and fame of Gen. Grant are
secure, above the reach of the shafts of
malice and prejudice. More and more
the simple greatness of the man comes
into view, and his place is found to be
among the few great men of the world.
He rises pro-eminent among the famous
warriors of the world by as much as the
cause which he carried to success was
greater than the selfisliorignoble causes
for which the others strove. His charac-
ter is a legacy to the nation, an inspiration
for the youth of all coming time. It is
well that a grateful people so soon after
his sad death has begun to set apart his
birthday as a day to be fitly commemor-
ated.—C’ourant. 27th.
