Accrrospondent of our own is earnestly in
favor of Jlbe. Lincoln, and more especially if

preferences in succession, for almost all the
names prominently before the Country in
connection with the Republican nomination,
seems to “rest the cure" on the shou'ders of

REMOVAL OF GAZETTE OFFICE.
It is our intention to remove into our new
Printing Rooms in GAzurrn Burnmxo, imme-
diately after the issue of our present number.
With the great increase of room and other
conveniences there nfiorded us, and :1 large
addition of new printing apparatus and mate-
rials we shall be enabled to add very consid-
' erably to our present facilities for answering
to the orders of our friends in any and n]
the departments of Printing. We are ols
having cast. a new dress for our paper,
which we shall have in season to announce a
Republican Triumph ’in 'old Connecticut, on
the first Monday of April I
County Convention To—Day.
The Republican Convention for the nomi-
nation of Sheriff convenes at Ely’s Hall,
South Norwalk, at 10 o’clock today. We
have heard the names of Capt.- Gould of
Faiifield,P. W. Jones of Westport, James
Finney of Norwalk, Albert Secley of Stem-
ford, Theodore H. Mend of Greenwich, and
Capt. Stephen Hoyt of New Canaan; as likely
to be- presented to the consideration of the
Convention from the shore section of the
County, while from the 1 I th District the
names of Horace Hickok and Wm. A. Judd of
Bethe], Lyman Keeler of Daubury, .and Wm.
Lee _aud Beuj. D.'Norris of Ridgetield, have
been mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation. Who of this number is most likely
to receive the nomination, we of course are
unable to determine. Should the delegates
from the 11th District unite on Norris, (of
which we areltold there is some probability.)
he wouid be likely to bear off the palm. llut
as this does not appear certain to us,we shan’t
stake our pile on any ’onc’shead till after the
fair, only promising our entire willingness to
join earnestly and heartily in labors for the
election of any man whom the Convention,
after mature deliberatidn, shall select as our
County Standard Bearer. We may also; per-
haps, in conclusion,be excused in the modest
exercise of our wonted lorul panic/flies, (in~
esmueh as the ball has been set in motion by
the press elsewhere,) and to add our own
.conviction that .ltj’mwu/lr, in the name she
presents, shows herself as capable as ever of

A Railroad that Pays.
We learn that the Directors 'of the Dan-
bury 8: Norwalk Railroad C ,at their meet-
ing on Thursday lust, declared their usual
cash dividend of three per cent., and in addi-
tion,have declared it stock dividend out of
their surplus earnings of [m per cent. both
payable March 10th,proximo. The net enrn
lugs for the six months, ending Jun. 31st,
were five and one eight per cent. The stock-
holda’s will have received on the 10th of
next March, over 6 per cent. per annum on
their stock since the road commenced opera-
tious, notwithstanding the severe loss sus-
tained by the Company in the great freshcts
of 1854. We learn that; a. saving of more
than one per cent. per unuum on the Capital
. Stock of the Co. will be made in couscqucucd
of the use of Coal instead of Wood on the
Locomotives.

ing reports, from all portions of theStute, of
the Republican party in the election. Let.
ters from reliable sources say that. the nomi-
nation of Seymour will prove more fortunate
to the Republicans than the nomination of
Pratt. The former they say, cannot get
any other votes than Pratt did last your-,ivhile
the friends of Fruit are indignant ut'tbe

Beyond all question there is no way in which

sulvon of urtlllcry, bonfires, illulniuations, or
congressional documents. It gives here a
little. and there a little; by and by, the barb-
ed arrow reaches the judgment of the reader,
and he is a couvertfor life. Take a lesson
from the enemy :
Get up Clubs.
Some of the towns have already gone to
work and started campaign clubs. Their
exertions shohld stimulate others, and every
town in the State should have its Democrat-
ic club. Particularly are these clubs u,nc-
catchy in the doubtful towns Let our friends
tithe hold of this business, do it thoroughly,
and next Spring, they will have u grnud op

will thereby save a great den] of trouble and

very anxious that these nominations should
not be delayed one day longer than is absu-
lutely necessary, and we hope our friends
will lose no time. . ‘
And as to organization—is the bull in mo-
tion in every town. ? Remember that we
must pay particular attention to the Legisla-
ture this year, and it is all important that in
close towns our friends should begin the work
immediately. Then, too, in towns strongly

fellow-townfiman and the present sheriff of the county,
J. A. Van Zandt, Esq, was as cunleluptuuusly thrown

Mr. Yun Zuudt is not after our pattern ofa “ perfect

and the impulses ofu benevolent heart, he is infincite-
ly the superior of those who had thus wuntonlysluugh-

LEAP Yum—Any year divisible by 4,with-
out n remainder, is loep year. which comes
every fourth year. Thus 1860 is leap year.—
'l‘he solar. or true year, is 365 days, 5 hours,
48 minutes and 47 7-10 seconds. For conve-
nience we drop these hours, minutes and sec?
ends in our ordinary reckoning, and call the
civil year, 365 days. Hence we lose uearlya
day in our reckoning every fourth year—we
actually lose in 4 years, four times 5 'hours,
48 minutes and 48 seconds , which is not quite-
». day. But for round numbers again we call
it a day, and therefore add a day to every
fourth year, naming it the 29th of February.
Of course by thus adding It whole day. we
add a. little too much,nearly twelve minutes a
a year. That, in a hundred years would
amount to say 1120 minutes, zuid,of ecursc if
this discrepancy were not provided for, in the
course of centuries it would vitiate the ealcn~
de-r. Therefore, once every hundred yours a
leap year is skipped for three consecutive
centuries, on the fourth century it is retained
because the balance is a little the other way
again. Thus for three centuries we have an
excess of 3380 minutes. leaving a discrepancy
of 690 minutes. This then, is partially cor-
rected by counting the leap year as usual on
the fourth century, putting us within 480
minutes, or eight hours, of being right at. the
end ofevery fourth century— ucu r enough
right for all practical purposes.

And how the little feet, like mice’s could skim and
dance around, fearless of reel or full was is great mys-
tery to the admiring crowd: of big boots and double
soles, who forget in their admiration that they were
upon ice or even in the body. Every one notiCed them
and everywhere Icknpwtedged the corn that “ ladies
could skate” and that Boston girls were the ones who
could demonstrate it. '
This certainly is a feet worthy of notice. There was
a time, not distant, when it was unludylikc for u lady
to be ruddy and strong. And to mingle in such mun-
ly sports as skating was ‘to the highest degree rude
1nd improper ; but from the time when they threw the
tee overboard till the time when they threw Ed ,vard
Everett overboard, those Boston people have done
their own thinking, and where men think women will
think too ; and thinking is acting with them. So all
at once as ifs. best of angels had dropped down from
the cloud: out in the fresh and uucorrupted air they
came to brace their listless nerves and warm the blood
and the ice was the place to do it. They did it, while
those who went to mock and remained to admire went
home and told their loves and sisters of the wonder-
ful revolution in female exercise and the wonderful im-
provement in female beauty, and as a consequence,
every love Ind sister'is getting skates, and health and
hope. And the pule faces of New York will have less
of blues and more of red roses on their cheeks for this
independent example. It is one of “ women’s rights”
to be healthy : it is one of men’s rights that she be
cheerful. But while she is pining, screwed up and
wasp-wasted, doll-dressed and consumption-mortgaged
~breathlng only the perfumed end heated. air of the
parlor, what shall W8 expect but a, sour, peevish, fret-
ful, sullen, miserable specimen of feminineity that cun
neither make home pleasant for others or endure it
herself. Out on these languid, unsymetrlcul, pale
pets of the parlor—good for nothing but to fade—with—
out energy of character, health of mind or strength of
body.
This skating Is a movement in the right direction,
end they only who know what’s in the air, and feel
all its subtle spirit running through their veins
can go home. after such a dly’s exhilarating exer-
cise and unrestrained liberty :Is our Central Pair]: of-
fords, will come to be less like our stereotyped young
ladies and nearer, as nature designed, to that which
is good and beautiful. Sickueas is not refinement ; ill
health is not beauty ; and a moek modest, sentiments]
prudishness against active exercise in the open air is
not wisdom. All'buil, then, to the hope and health
which comes with such a. womanly’enjoyment.
And who does not know the influence which such a
sentiment and such u. delineation will exert upon our
smooth faced, white livered, rullow, dyspeptic, fash-
ionable, feeble, perfumed, slim legged young omen—-
‘ habiluss of the Opera, and the omnibus, and the couch,
cm] the pulor. “'ill thebe be shamed at last into
manhood! will it not surprise them to some elasticity
of motion and some vigor of frame? It is already ac-
complishing this, end many at perfumed dandy is for

that is, he is generelly liked, and II obody

as good a vote at the polls as many of his

popular us Seymour is. This assertion can
be corroborated by overwhelming statistical
evidence. We could hunt up the official files
on record in the Secretary of State’s Office,
and publish a transcript with an official cer-
tificete, if we thought it would pay~ for the
bother. Any man that can read cud cipher,
and has access to election returns. in year s
when Thos. H. Seymoor was a candidate, can
readily satisfy himself that Seymour does not
ruu'ss well, when it comes to the test of tig-

DYSPEPSIA.
There is perhaps no disease which destroys the ban
[loose and comfort ofindividuals and femihes to the
same extent as Dyspepsia «indigestion
l’re‘viously to the discovery of the
OXYGBNATBD BITTBRS,
There existed no medicine sccessible to those suffer-
ing from this wide spread disease which‘rclieved it in
any marked degree.
The power of these hitters over the shove nsmcd dis.
ease as well as those having their origin in imperfect
digestion and functional discuss of the stomach, as
well as Asthma and general Debility.
Its speedy and permanent cures of some of the seve-
rest and stubborn cases on record is suficient confir-
mation of‘tbis fact.
THE LATEST TESTIMONY.
We call the attention of the render to the following
letter from President Smith, of Wesleyan University :
MIDDLETOWN, CONN.. Feb. 28, 1859.
SETH W. Fowur & 00., -—Gs..~‘rs :—I first made use of
the Oxygeuuted Bitters wine seven or eight years
since. Having suffered for twenty years with a form
of Dyspepsin which was attended with u nervous bend-
acho,on an sverage of not less than_ one day in a
week, I was induced by the‘unpreteudiug recommen-
dation of Dr. Green ‘- to try one bottle and if no bone.
fit was received t0 discontinue the use.”
The use ofcue bottle warranted a further mm. to-
the extent of some three or four with a careful obser.
vnuce ofthe accompanying dirrctious The result was
an almost entire relief from the usual dyspeptic svmp-
toms and their depressing, puiuful consequencek.
believe those hitters produced an entire change in tbr
habits of my system and upon the active-energies of
the digestive organs. I now deem myself as 'exempl
from Dyspepsia as most persons. These bitten have
also been of service to other members of my family.
Yery respectfully yours, ‘
AUGUSTUS W. SMITH.
