Happy New Year.
Emerging from the last four dreary years
of war, it is with more than ordinary hope-
fulness and fervency that we wish every read-
er of the now veteran GAZETTE, its SIXTY-
six'rn annual “HAPPY New Y EAR.”
.¢.>.
Terms of the Gazette.
Commencing with the New Year, we
have, in concurrence with the views and
wishes of many of our patrons, revised our
Advertising Tariff, and introduced a new
and reduced rate for such brief announce-
ments as may be expressed in compass of
four lines. Hitherto, with most other State
journals, we have had no rate less than for a
square—:50 that the advertiser who had but
two-or three lines to. insert, was compelled,
(in acquiescence with established prices) to
pay as much for his brief announcement as
those who occupied a full square. We think
this change will meet with general approval,
and now that the occapancy of every niche
of advertising room is made absolutely nec~
essary, in order to retain our subscription
price at two dollars, we hope for a large in-
crease of advertising patronage in this con!
densed form. Most of the “Wants," “Lost,”
“Found” and the like may be made to come
within the rule, and it is in this view that we
have revised our entirc list of prices so as to
more justly conform to the actual space oe-
cupied :—
Subscriptiou $2.00 per year in advance
Single copies 5 cents.

Our Needs for 1866.
Norwalk is a most needy suppliant for
many things, to ensure us that growth and
general prosperity actually pressing upon us
as we enter the new-born year of 1866.
first, we need more and better business
menl By better business men, we mean
men 'oi more liberality,'enterprise and meth-
od, than appertains to many of the older
regime.
Second, we need more manufactories and
workshops. No town or city in the State is
so admirably situated and circumstaneed in
all respects, for extensive manufacturing, as
Norwalk.
Third, we want and must hare—(if our
rapid growth be not dwarfed):more Houses!
Neat, small, ccmmodious, unexpensive
Houses. Who will build them, for they
must be built? Who is the man, or the men
who will build houses, for our moving, house-
less people! What a chance for men of
wealth to make themselves honored and
happy, while making for themselves the
very safest and most remunerative kind of
an investment.
We believe a Joint Stock Company, or-
ganized with a capital of fifty or one hun-
dred thousand dollars, could not do a more
lucrative thing than in the erection of a
certain class of dwellings right here in Nor-
walk? Why may it not be inaugurated?
Surely such an enterprise is entirely feasible
and its pressing importance demands the
most serious consideration of every one in-
terested in the growth and prosperity of
Norwalk. ,
While upon the theme of improvement
and advancement in abusiness way, may
we not again introduce the general theme so
often urged upon the attention of our shop
keepers and towns trades-people, of a radi-
cal reform of the old, worn out and ruinous
credit system, so long in vogue here in Nor-
walk. If our merchants would only sell
for cash, they could buy for cash and at low-
er prices, and sell again at greatly diminish-
ed profits. It is afaet as well known to ev-
ery purchaser as to every merchant, that the
good, or paying customer has to make good
or insure the losses of the non-paying pur-
chasers, by an enhanced profit put upon
every article. Now if a substantially cash
system—(with say all bills payable at least
once a month)——could be adopted, every
honest dealer and purchaser would be great-
ly profited thereby, and we will warrant
that the system once established would nev-
er be abandoned. Why may not a meeting
of all our dealers be held at once and this
desirable reform launched from the opening
year?

with Zither playing by German experts. Af-
ter the exercises at the Hall, the “Brothers
of the Mystic Tie," with their wives and
daughters adjourned to the Masonic Hall,
where Refreshment Tables were laid, and

But one week ago, we in these columns,
presented the name of our fellow-toWnsmun
Wm. C. Street, for a high position in the
State for which nature and a life of business
habits bud eminentlyendowed him—a posi» 5
tion justly gratifying to the honorable ambi-
tion of any citizen. T’l-Llily, our obituary
record shows how utterly void and empty
must be all earthly honors 10 the crushed pa~
rent’s heart. Death cult-ring the household,
has snatched a first-born from the domestic
fold. A daughter, beloved by all who knew
her. the life and joy 'of every circle in which
she moved—whose heart and voice ran
blithe and sweet among her young compan-
ions, like the merry song of birds,—is taken,
and oh, how desolate now,is that hearihstone.
Again, the lips of another, whom we saw
engaged in Christmas festival and joyousness,
a brief week gone, are sealed in death. A
young daughter of George Brady went from
her Sabbath School Christmas tree—to the
green fields of heavenly verdure.
Again, as we write, the tidings come that
our whilom Editorial brother, James F.
Babcock, of New Haven, has again been
stricken with the unutterable loss of another
child. A daughter—scarce two months a
bride and now the pure white snow, falls
upon these early graves, the fit emblem of
an angelic iransfiguraiion. May He who
doeth all things well, pour the oil of his di-
vine consolation into every bereaved, sor-
rowing heart.
“ With silence only as their benediction
God's angels come.
Where, in the shadow of a great afiliction,
The soul sits dumb.
Not upon thee or thine, the solemn angel
Hath evil wrought ;
Her funeral anthem is a glad evangel-
. The good die notl
God calls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly
What He hath given ;
They live on earth, in thought and deed, as truly
As in His heaven.”

6?" Some time since our good people
(who always feel a friendly interest in what-
ever appertaius to a neighbor’s welfare),
were considerably exercised in consequence
of an announcement in the Meriden Recorder,
to the effect that one Sir. J. Edward Parker.
‘of Meriden, had seized, confiscated, or at-
.mchee‘l to Oho'nmnnnt nf 210 000. Ihe,,g0_0_d3,
chattels, effects, sole and singular, of the
Norwalk Lock Company, for an alleged in-
fringement of said Parker’s Patent Lock.
This was all encouraging for Parker, as he
was assured by the Recorder man, that his
Patent covered every variety of Latch Bolt
that Reversed from Right to Left, and more-
over that he,the said Parker, was sure to re-
cover “heavy damages." But alas, how un-
certain are all things earthly, especially law-
suits. We indulged in the' luxury of win-
ning one once ourselves, but like all luxuries
it was expensive and brought little return,
but negative good. Had the Recorder man;
gone eight miles from his sanctum he never
would have deluded his friend with such
false and fallacious hopes—for there had
the same principle involved in his friend’s
patent been adopted, used and sold for many
years prior to the date of the Parker Patent,
while had he investigated further, he would
have found this identical principle in use
and a similar latch made for thirty years
agone. But this information came at last,
though a little too late perhaps for Mr. Par-
ker's peace of mind, for he has withdrawn .
his suit—of his own volition, without the
heavy damages promised him by the enter—
prsing Recorder man. The Managers of the
Norwalk Lock Company are a little too
sharp and much too honorable to infringe
upon the patent of any man, and are fully
content to manufacture, as they, by common
consent are admitted to do, the best'Reversi-
ble Lock in the market.

A NEW GRAB GAME—A lady on her way
from New York to N orwalk by the four-
thirty train, on Thursday afternoon. claims .
to have lost her carpet bag in anooel man-
ner. She says that when she got into the
car at 27, street‘ she placed the bag on the
floor beneath her feet, which is the
last she- saw of it. She presumes it was
stolen by a man-who ~sat in the seat in front
of her, and who left the car at Stamford. ._ He
must have “hooked”it, or worked it out
from under her with his feet. Among other
useful articles, the bag contained eleven dol-
lars in money. This is the very latest spec-
imen of petty thieving yet brought out Mor-

tact with the understanding of others which
renders him, at times, peculilarly sharp and
witty. A returning soldier'was accosted by
one of them with the usual’salutation--‘Black
your Boots. sir ? make ’em.shine l" Looking
at his unpdlished ‘gnuboats’ in a contempla-
tive way, the war-wern' veteran replied :
‘Well I don’t care if you dais-fall in prompt-
ly though.’ The urchin gazed a moment at
the soldier, surveying him from his leathers
upwards, and then, turning to a comrade
near by, shouted out: ‘I say Bill lend us
a hand won’t yer? Igot an, army coutraet?’ ”
