The Gas Fight.
in answer to our strictures on the “tenu—
lirimls gloom that obscures our darksome
nights," the tycoons of ye Borough make an-
gtvci’, that thcyhavc been to the pains of re-
vising t‘lic didgas bills paid by the Borough
and find them excessive and extortionate.—-
That they have obtained the schedules of
prices paid by other towns, cities and bor-
oughs in this and other States, and they find
our company charge largely in excess of all
others. And finally and lastly, that inas-
much as the Gas Company decline to make
a deduction they have resolved to introduce
, Kerosene lamps, as Was done some time since
in Boston. Trial has been made of one of
these lamps and it is found to be brilliant and
cheap. If all these allegations be true, and
we have no reason to doubt them, we are
confident that the public sentiment will sus-
tain the Borough Authorities, in their deter-
mined efforts at retrenchment. Meantime—
“dark, darkness, darks the darksomc dark."

I A NOBLE Worm—The Young Men‘s
Christian Association, in Norwalk, in addi-
tion to their various other self-imposed duties
have undertaken the noble charity of seek—
ing to obtain places and employment for all
sober and industrious persons of good char-
acter, who may be strangers among us, or
without work. In thus hepling the unfortu-
ante and needy to help themselves, they are
conferring the truest charity. We suggest
they extend their Christian labors to gather-
ing into our several Churches and Sabbath
Schools, the roaming population, who never
cuter such a place on the Sabbath.

David Stephenson Hotel property, at figures
far in advance of any that have recently as-

location and by shoving the old hotel back
and erecting a brick block along the entire
front with Hotel overhead, it might be made
to pay a handsome dividend, “in the good

,COMMERCIAL ENTEnPnIsn.-'-George O
Kceler & Brother, successors to S. E. 01ml
' sluad, sent the schooner Baxter up to Alba-
ny last week for a cargo of Apples and Po-
tatoes. The drought in the north-western
partof New York State was peculiarly fa-
v r'able to the growth and perfection of the
plaice crop, and our enterprising young
gt: cers have brought us a cargo of the finest
pwlrilOCS ever offered in this market, to say
liixlillllg of the very fine Western apples
which came as an accompan sament. Such
em urpiise ought to pay. ‘

Rowdyism.
Our town is fast earning a notoriety for
lab itssness and wanton mischief quite an-
cm lltblc. The major part of this petty mis—
ei‘iz l' is done by the holders of Indian boys
roaming our streets as soon as night can cow
or their mischief. In front of our office, at
about any hour of an evening, gangs are en-
countered, running furiously against passers
by; )clling like young savages, and making a
general and intolerable nuisance of them-
SeiVL-S, when doing no worse. Parents ought
m lilily to correct this evil, but somehow
ttii y do not. We are determined to abate
ilic .uisance so far as we are annoyed, and
v. i- hope a similar effort will be made in the
vicinity of Prowitt‘s corner store. We pub-'
Its-b elsewhere an advertisement consequent

W Yes, while Norwalk, growing more
rapidly, probably than any other town in the
State, has made provision in this respect,
only for the immediate present. We hope
the ensuing Legislative session will not be
permitted to expire, without our having sec-
cured at least a Charter for a Cemetery,and a
Park combined, based, not upon any species
of speculation, or individual emolument but
upon the generous and Christian principle of
securing a spot where the dust of beloved
ones may repose with at least a temporary
surety that their places of sepnlchrc will not
be abandoned to weeds and biiers, or dugup
by the inevitable advance of the homes and
demands of the living.

“The good old times of yore” are fast com-
ing back to us. Besides old fashions in
clothing we have here in Norwalk, the dc
lightful old custom revived of dark streets,
which will tend to bring upand encorrigethe
old styles of highway robbery, garroting,
and other deeds of darkness. On Sunday
night we were pleased to note the revival of
the old custom of carrying lanterns which
our young gallants. This is a fast age, how-
ever, and we already note “ innovations,”
among which are prop erly lighted lamps in
front of our bank buildings, a slreel lamp
light in front of a Gas Co. Director, and a
kerosene light in front of one hotel. Next,
we fear, some neighborhoods will club to-
gether and light the street lamps in their vi-
cinity, paying the gas company therefor: at
the rate of $22 per year for the gas consumed
in each lamp.

WTucsday, the 19th of November, was
the Birthday anniversary of our esteemed
and aged citizen, Eben Whitney, Esq., who
on that day completed his 84th year. It was
made the occasion of a pleasant Family
Gathering; after the guests had partaken of
the bountiful rcpast provided for the occa-
sion, Mr. Whitney arose and addressed them
at some length, in which he expressed his
thanks to “the Giver of all good," for the
privilege of meeting once more with his
friends and relatives; also the goodness of
God manifested to him through all his sick-
ness in years past, and concluded with a
blessing upon his two remaining children,
and all present, and expressed the hope that
he should meet them all “where parting is
no more.” It was a sight long to'be remem-
bered; that good old man standing there, his
long white hair and board flowing over his
shoulders, his bent form and feeble knees
unable longer to hear his weight, resting his
hands on the table for support, and speaking
words of cheer, Of faith and love,with a clear
and distinct utterance and showing a mind
as sound as when years ago he mingled with
the busy world. As he sat down he called
upon L. LeGrand Whitney, of Stamford, to
return thanks, which he did in'a very feeling
manner, and the company withdrew. Out
of a family of five children only two remain,
E. T.Wliitney, of Whitney & Beckwith, Dd
Mrs. John Forth, of N. Y. The entertain-
ment was given at Chas. Raymond’s on Flax
Hill; where Mr. W. resides at present.

SCULPTURE—E. B. Price, has just set up
another monument, to his own artistic fame
as’well as to commemorate the memory of a
departed hero of the war. We refer to the
monument erected over the grave of Serg.
James L. Allen, in our cemetery. It would
seem almost inexcusable to go out of town
for fine work of the sort, when such rc-
pcated evidences of local skill are being
erected. Upright, reasonable and honora-
ble, in all his business transactions, Mr.
Price certainly deserves a liberal bestowal of
our local patronage.

Reunion of the 171-]: (it, Vols.
A large number of the surviving members
of this favorite Regiment, convened at
last. affecting a temporary organization, by
calling Gen. _Wm. H. Noble to the chair and
appointing Capt. Hubbell, Secretary. The
following oflicers were present i—
Gcn. Wm. H. Noble; Col. Henry Allen ;
Surgeon,Elijah Gregory; Chaplain, Wm. K.
Hall ; Hos. Steward, Jesse Nash.
Captains—C. F. Betts, Henry Quein, Wm.
H. Lacey, Wm. L. Hubbcll, James E. Hub-
bell, James E. Dunliam, Wilson FrenCh, and
James H. Ayers.
Lieutenante.—1st, R. Lorenzo Ella, John
Hawley, SamuelE. Blinn, Albert W. Peck,
Henry North, Thomas A. Haight, and G. C.
Peck, Adjutant. 2d Lieuts. David S. Bar-
tram, Edgar S. Wilcoxon and Garrett D.
Bowne, together with about sixty privates.
A motion to form a permanent organiza-
tion was adopted, and a committee of five
consisting of Lieut. Col. Allen, Chaplain W.
K. Hall, Capt. J. E. Dunham, Lieut. S. E.
Bliun. and Capt. J. E. Hubbell, was ap-
pointed to draft a Constitution and By-Laws.
The committee retired, when, after listening
to some of the Regimental String Band’s ex-
quisite strains, as played of yore, the meet-
ing was adjourned until two o’clock, p. m.,
at which hour the members again assembled
The report of the Committee on Constitu-
tion was received, and accepted, and the
Constitution as reported adopted by section.
The preamble is as follows :
“CONSTITUTION OF THE 17TH CONN. VOL.
AsSOCIATION.
Deeming it desirable to renew and cherish
the associations of our army life and to retain
as far as possible the regimental union in
which as soldiers in or 8 Were engaged
in the service of our com, we do hereby
form ourselves into such an organization of
a permanent character as shall effect this
object.”
The following officers were then elected.
for the ensuing year :
President, Lieut. Col. Henry Allen; 1st
Vice President, Capt. J. H. Ayers, 2d Vice
President, Capt. Wilson French; Recording
Secretary, Capt. Win. L. Hubbell ; Corres-
ponding Secretary, Chaplain Wm. K. Hall,
Treasurer, Lieut. A. W. Peck.
Executive Committee—The President, ex-
oflicio, Gen. Wm. H. Noble; Corp. James
R. Middlebrook. ' _
Concluding the business of the organiza-
tion, the company adjourned from the Hall
and headed by its old martial Band, march;
ed to the Sterling House, where mine host
Wilson had prepared for the boys a rcpast
fit for an emperor. Strangely in contrast
with the “salt junk,” “hardtack,” “Uncle
Sam’s pies,” &c., we used to saiiate our appe-
tite upon “in the days we went sogcring”
with them.
The Americas Quartette Club was present
and sang some of their soul-stirring pieces,
the song and chorus “Rally Round the Flag,
Boys," making the walls of the old Sterling
fairly shake with its volume and power.
Gen. Noble in a few eloquent and deeply
impressive words, every one of which came
from a full heart, addressed his old com:
mood at the close of the rcpast.
A. H. Byington of Norwalk, Simon Howe
of Bridgeport, and Seymour Curtis of Strat-
ford, were unanimously elected honorary
members of the Association. The place of
Mr. Howe, Sen., was ominously vacant. He
stands upon the rolls of the Regiment as a
private, a position he was proud to occupy.
No single citizen probably ever did so much
for any'regiment in the war. When the na-
tional treasury was dry and the boys sorely
in need of pay, he used to make up their
pay roll and cash it himself. We well re-
member when he kept twelve private hor-
ses and mail wagons of his own, for the
transportation of the regiment’s mail matter
out from and into Washington. The son,
Mr. Howe, Jr., served some time in the
field as a volunteer orderly, and Mr. Curtis
as a volunteer musician.
Of our own connection with the regiment,
it could scarce have been more intimate had
we been’one of its mustered number. From
Fort Marshall to Tenallytown, Antioch
Church, Chantilly, Falmouth, Stafford Court
House, Bell Plain, Brooks’ Station, return
from Cliaucellorville again to Brooks' Sta-
tion, at their fearful and supreme trial at
Gettysburg, it was our good fortune to have
“been with the boys,” and can say, with a
heartfelt sincerity, that it was among the
happiest events of our life, when in going
into or coming out Of battle, we could do
the boys any favor, either of supplying :a
wantor by our press privileges on the tele-
graph lines relieve the anxieties of wives
and parents at home.
The “reunion” must have awakened many
pleasant as well as painful memories in the
breast of every soldier present. No braver,
better or riobler sons of the nation were to
be found in any regiment of its grand army.
Never, ina single instance dishonoring it-
self or the cause it served, it oftentimes won
the special approbation of its superior com-
manders-and the admiration of the nation.
The honorable mention made of them by
Mr. Greeley in his great History of the War,
in referring to the heroic but ineffectual
stand made by the 17th, when the llth
corps broke and fled panic stricken down
upon their decimated line with Lee’s solid
battallions pressing them upon the flank»
gives them a noble commemoration in His-
tory, but no greater than they deserve. The
long list of their heroic dead, mutely, yet
with thousand tongued eloquence attests
their fortitude and devotion to the land we
love. '
“ All nail to those who nobly fought ;
Ouriears for ilrosc who fell"
Before adjournment it was voted to hold
the next meeting in the month of August, as
near the day of its original organization a“.
may be possible. We trust'this meeting
may beheld here in Norwalk, where proba-
bly more resident men were enlisted, than
from any one town in the County. We
know the citizens of Norwalk will recrive
the boys with a hearty welcome. ,

RAILROAD ITEus.—-’Last Monday night,
near Rye station, when-running at full speed,
caused by the breaking of a rail. The rear
car was thrown from the track, but fortunate
1y no one was lrilled, but quite a number of
passengers were more or less injured. Mrs.
Joseph W. Winship, Bradford, Vt., badly
hurt in the chest; MI. Watrons. New Haven,
severe contusions; Mr. Ledyard Bill, No. 75
Fulton Street, N. Y. city, badly bruised;
other passengers more or:less bruised. Scu-
ator Poland and family, of Vermont, were
passengers, but escaped without injury.
As the mail train was coming up from New
York, this (Monday) morning, and when a
short distance this side of Stamford station,
a stone came through the car windows, strik-
ing conductor Wm. G. Street. in the neck,
and filling the flesh on one side of his face
close to his eyes with bits of broken glass.
The wound bled freely, but was not danger-
one. Mr. Street was sitting down, at ”the
time, with his head slightly inclined; if his
head had been erect he would probaly have
received a more dangerous injury. Stones '
have been thrown at the cars, in the vicinity
of Stamford before, and quite recently. If
the offender is caught he should be made an
example of.
flJohn Roberts of Bridgeport was killed on
Friday by the care, while attempting to cross

young lady who has been married only about
six months, was walking on the track of the
New York and New Haven Railroad, near
Port Chester, Friday alcmeou, and seeing a
train approaching, stepped on to the other
track, when she was struck by the 3 p. in,
express from New York, which was coming
at the time, but which she did not see, and
thrown down an embankment and instantly
killed. The train was stopped, and the un-
fortunate womnn was conveyed home.
—As Thos. Harris was walking on the
track Of the New Haven road, Tuesday last,

There is a statement that the congressional
committee on elections, who investigated the
manner in which Mr. W. H. Barnum was re-
turned to;Congress from the fourth district,
will report that the election is void by reason
Washington Hall, Bridgeport, on Thursday an “cement occurred '0 the express “flint ‘f fraud; that is to sa the election was pro-
dnred by bribery. r. P. T. Barnum is not
a contestant, so that a newclection wouldhe-
ordered. It appeared by the testimony that
Mr. W. 11. B.’s agents confessed to using
money to prevent voters from accepting the
bribes of P. T. B., one of the most ingenious
methods ever' reported. If W. H. B. knew
of a voter who was shaky b reason of five
dollars received from P. T. ., all he had to
do was to send the man ten dollars, and pre-
serve!tlie voter's integrity while securing his
vote '
We hope that Congress will sustain the
committee, and declare Mr. Barnum’s seat
vacant; and we should say the sameif it was
the case of the other Barnum. It is quite
time that the Barnums should understand
that money is not the only requistc to office-
etting; and it is time that the people of this
tatc, who at every election are becoming
more and more familiar with bribery, should
understand that something better is required
of them. We believe that the State of Con-
necticut is not so far gone that its downward
career in bribery cannot be averted, but it
will require more than one lesson like the re-
jcction of Mr. Barnum to effect a reform.
Hartford Press.
18‘ We give place to the above for the
purpose of domg a simple act of justice to
Mr. P. T. Barnum. Had the above appeared
in a copperlicad journal, as such imputations
frequently have, we should not allude to the
subject; but when a paper of the character for
uprightncss, always maintained by the Press,
joins in a false accusation, it is evidence of a
want of knowledge of the facts rather than a
wish to do an injustice. We wish simply to
say that while Mr. P. T. Barnum used his
money freely, perhaps lavishly in the recent
contest, we know that it was his wish and his
constant injunction to his friends, that not a
dollar should be used except for the legitimate
expenses of the canvas. We know that no
candidate for Congress ever paid so much for
a thorough and honest canvas of his District
as did Mr. P. T. Barnum. Frequently there '
were more than twenty speakers in various
parts of the two counties addressing the peo-
ple, some of them being paid by Mr. B. as
high as $100 per night. The result of this
thorough canvas was perceptible in our vote
on the general ticket. Ours being the only
county that showed a Republican gain in the
aggregate vote. Mr. Barnum‘s loss Of votes
being accounted for on personal grounds
alone. Funds in very limited amount, were
placed in the hands of the several tOWn‘com-
mittees also, for deiraying the necessary ex-
penses incurred at every election by all par-
ties in getting the laggard voters to the polls.
The copperhead scoundrcl, in Litchfield
county, who testified before the Investigat-
ing Committee, that P. T. Barnum ofi‘ered
him $100 for his vote and that Wm. H. Bar-
num paid him $120to adhere to the ticket he
always had voted, 11238 as to any such ofl‘er
from Mr. P. T. Barnum and no doubt invent-
ed the lie to swindle the amount he got, from
his own party leader. We do not know
that our Mr. Barnum willihank us for what
we have said, but we do know that a very
false impression prevails as to his use of
money even among r ur own friends and it is
simple justice to him that it be stated, by us,
even though we trench upon our confidential
knowledge at his canvas of the District. We
know, as do many others of his most intimate
friends, that Mr. P. T. Barnum insisted and
reiterated that not one dollar of' his money
should be spent in a groggery, or for the pur-
chase 01 a voter. That while he was willing
to pay all expenses of Speakers, Printing,
Carriages, &c., to ensure ajull vote, he would
not be a party to the systematic debauchery
of the district, which he knew was being car-
ried on by the other side. This simple state-
ment,ismadein justice to'Mr. P. T. Barnum,
involving no endorsement as to the wisdom
of his nomination, or the means used by his
friends to attain that result. And as for the
closing deductions of the Press, we add our
most hearty amen, as should every honest
man of any party.

A Magnificent Gift. Book.
WHIT’I‘IERB “Snow-BOUND," lLLUsTaA-
Tnn.—Al1 Mr. Whitlier’s works are admired
and appreciated by his countrymen, but this
poem especially seems, as Bacon said of his
Essays, “to come home to men’s business
and bosoms.” The great popularity Of the
former editions oi'Snow-Bozmd shows that
the author possesses a rare power and pa-
thos in his delineation of “The common un—
rhymed poetry of simple life and country
ways." By this work, even more than his
other poems, has be strengthened the already
powerful influence which he holds over tlie'
hearts and intellect: of the American people.
Apart from the merit of Snow-Bound as a
poem, it has given us a vivid and truthful pic-
ture of a mode of life which is fast becoming
a thing of the past. Few traces now remain
of country life as it was in the early years of
thecentury. Old ways have given place to
new, which in their turn must become old,
and victimsof“‘l‘ime and his sister Oblivion.”
Surely posterity will thank the poet who has
sO'faithfully and tenderly portrayed “those
Flemish pictures of old days." - The foul on-
semble of the present volume makes it a
pleasure to the eye. Type and paper are
of the finest and best. The beauty of Mr.
Harry.Fenn’s illustrrations make one wish
to see more from the same pencil. Mr. Fcnn
visited the scene of the poem, and his
sketches are drawn from nature, their fideli-
ty to which has recived the commendations
of Mr. Whittier. The volume is not to be
exceeded as a gift-book.—Bosfon Traveler.
The price of this elegant book is five dol-
lars. It can be procured of booksellers gen-
erally, or will be sent post-paid, by the Pub-
lishers, Ticknor 8; Fields, Boston.

Obituary.
Mrs. Lydia E. Collins, wife Rev. A. B. Col-
lins, died in Norwalk, Nov. 6th, 1867, aged
75 years, 1 month and 12'duys.
A long and useful life, and apeaceiul, hap-
py death, surviving relatives mourn [be less
of her nfl'cctionate care and warm sympathy,
while they rejoice in the assurance that their
loss is gain to her.
The people of ,Norwalk have only known
her as anjnvaiiddier constitution broken,and ‘
her nervous system greatly disordered. But.
the people of the several parishes, among
whom she resided in her younger days, will
long remember her kindly visits, her wise
counsels, her deep interest in the wcllfare of
the churches, and her cxcmpliary deport-
mcnt. As a wife and mother she was loved
and honored to a degree seldom equaled.
As the companion and helpmaie ofa labor
rZous and successful minister of the Gospel,
slie discharged her duties faithfully, and won
for herself a tribute Of gratitude and warm
affection, in every place, where her husband
was called to labor.
In her retirement she ceased not to pray
for the prosperity of Zion, and to manifest the
interest of a pious heart, in all that concerns
the spiritual welfare of the community.
Fifty-two years and upwards was she the
honored and trusted wife of him, who now
mourns lier absence, but who expects soon
to join her in that world, where there is no
death, neither sorrow nor crying.
May all who mourn her loss, yea, the
whole circle of her acquaintances, learn to
trust, as she did, entirely in the mercy of
God, through the blood of the Covenant,
renounciug all self-righteousness, and wish-
ing to be known only as “sinners saved by
gracc,”prcparc, while here, to sing the new
song auto Him that saved us, and washed as
from our sins in his own blood. To Him be
glory forever.

“Evil Doings,”
It is a lamentable fact that we have in our
midst, a certain number of evil disposed boys
who respect neither the feelings or rights of
their neighbors. Frequent allusion has been
made to their bad deeds, thinking that pa-
rents, or others whose duty it may be, might
reclaim them from their evil ways, yet there
appears to be but little improvement, as is
evident from the following occurrence. One
evening last week,thcse enemies of good or-
der and improvement assaulted with stones
and other missels, the Catholic School house
and thus maliciously disturbed a number of
night scholars, who, after their daily toil,
were seeking to improve the deficiency of an
earlier education. This certainly speaks bad
for the conduct of some of 'our boys, and
more especially as‘it was but last July that
the windows of this same school house were
badly broken. In order that such lawless
deeds'may not be, hereafter, repeated, the
Committee of St. Mary’s Church and school,
do hereby ofl‘er twenty dollars, ($20), for the
apprehension and prosecution of any one
who may in future be detected in commission
of any such outrage against said school-
house, situated on West Avenue, or in any
way interfere with the night school therein
holding.

Horrible Accident.
A man some time since was repairing a gas leak,
corner of 28th Street and 6th Avenue, New Yok. He
went into the excavation and then lit a match. An
explosion of the gas took place, and the man was
much burned. Dr. Tobias’ Venetian Liniment was
applied freely, and in three days the man was about
his business in the Manhattan Gas Works as well as
over. His name is Samuel F. Waters. This is one
of the wonderful cures made by Dr. Tobias’ celebra-
ted Venetian Linimcnt: it is not only good for Burns,
but for Old Sores, Bruises, Chronic Rheumatism,
Sore Threats, Cuts, Insect Stings, Pains in the
Limbs, Chest and Back; also internally, for Colic,
Cramps, Diarrhoea, Dysentery and Group. It is per-
fec‘tly innocent to take internally,aad is the best fami-
ly medicine in the world. Orders are received all
over EurOpc for it. The most celebrated Physicians
recommend it—it never fails. Every drop is mixed
by Dr. Tobias himself, and can bc depended on.

Dr. Schenck on Dyspepsia.
SYMPTOMS, CAUSES AND REMEDIES.
Symptoms oi‘Dyspepsia—A sense of fullness, tight-
ness, and weight in the stomach, together with flat-
ulcncy, acrdity, sour, oficnsive belching of wind,
water-brash and vomiting, and a great deal of what
a person calls an all-gone feclingat the pit of the
stomach: frequently there is also a palpitation of
the heart, which physicians mistake for heart dis-
ease, and when the stomach is in this conditon it is
coated With a mucus or slime. The rough, fibrous
portion of the stomach, similar to what we see in
tripe, is what throws out the gastric juice, and when
the stomach gets a thick coat of slime on it, it pre-
vents the gastricjuice from flowing, and digestion
ceases. Schenck’s seaweed tonic disolvcs this mucus
gli'tlglime, and restores the stomach to its natural con-
ion. .
Schenk’s Mandrake Pills are also required to carry
ofi' this morbid matter. Two-thirds of the causes of
Consumption arccaused from this diseased state of
the stomach: the liver becoming torpid causes to
throw out,bllc and in a short time the whole system
is deranged. The mucus membrane of the bronichial
tubes sympathizes with the other organs, and before
the patient is aware of it, he or she has Bronichial or
pulmonary Consumption.
Scheuck's Pulmonlc Syrup cannot not freely
through‘the blood when the system is in this;lockcd-
a condition, without the aid ofSca Weed Tonic and
andrake Pills. Thc;Liverhas all the venous blood-
to strain, and when it gets in a morbid condition,
blood and bile run through the system mixed, and
the whole body becomes so low, and the blood so
thick it. can hardly run through the veins, In a ma-
Jority of cases hemorrhages occur from this thick cons
dition ofthe blood. The Mandrake Pills act on the
Liver similar to calomel, or they do what that does—
it unlocksthe gallbladcrs, struts the bile, and the
blood be me to circulate naturally through the veins
and the emorrhages cease. If when persons are at-
tacked_with hemorrhage they would first take a good
purgative, something that wovld act on the liver.
they would soon be relieved from bleeding from the
lungs, and it is the only way, for astringents are on-
-ly temporary, and irritate the broniclriat tubes and
lafithe groundwork for consumption .
