Lecture Course.
To the Young Men’s Christian Association
are the people of Norwalk indebted for an
intellectual treat during the wrnter, both
pleasant and profitable. For ourselves we
heartily thank them for their efforts to-pro-
ville some recreation for‘ the long .winter
evenings other than the billiard room, the
card table or burnt-cork show. Their Lec-
ture course has been well attended, univer-
sally commended and in the main, we be
lieve, remunerative. The closmg Concert,
we are told, was an exception, owmgdoubt-
less to the severe storm. But the winter is
not yet at an end. The procuring of popu-
lar lecturers now will be attended With less
cost and difficulty than in the fall and in be-
‘half of‘ many whom we have heard express
we solicit another course. Two
courses are successfully given in New Haven
and other cities. Let it be tried here. If

SnsPiCIous—The suspicions of our town’s
wise acres have been kept in active play for
the past four or five weeks by the sudden
and somewhat mysterious appearance ofa
sombre propeller not far from one of our
Norwalk Banks, which has had the odor
and mystery of a clandestine whiskey still,
added to its other mythical records. Some-
how the name of a prominent, as well as or-
nate figurehead Of the Norwalk democracy
has been coupled with the event, In ominous
whisperings, and it is even asserted that one
of our most. vigilant officers has been. seen
at unusual hours of the nig‘ct, and in the
coldest weather, prospecting about the adja-
cent headlands with a view to discover the
guilty parties when they should smuggle. off
the contraband fluid. If there be any just
grounds for these dark suspicions of fraud
' on the revenue, it is certain that old Boreas
has proved a better detective than any sent
out by Commissioner Rollins, for the vessel
aforesaid has been kept locked in secure ar-
rest by the ice for nearly two months with
no possible chance of escape. We shall see
what this thaw will do for the whiskey, for
the vessel and for the democrat.

for general complaint and execration again.
Not that its gas does not give good light or
that its bills are not high enough “to please
the most fastidious," but because of some
subtle poison which is terrible to lungs and
noses. There’s something wrong with their
chemicals at the gas house, which needs im-
mediate amendment, to save their custom-

”(25‘ A serious accident occurred at Grego-
ry’s Point one day last week. The Steamer
Wyoming worked up opposite the Point with
a loadof freight from New York, where she '
became fast in the ice for a time. People in
a hurry for freight, drove down on the ice to
the vessel's side, loaded up, and oil again.—
A two horse team carried-a load of coal to
the boat, and in backing down to unload,
was somehow hacked to the rear of the boat
on to the broken ice, and the wagon, coal
and horses disappeared in twenty feet of
water. By efforts of those persons present,
the horses were finally got out. We did not
learn the extent of their injuries?

WThat “ the best laid schemes 0’ mice
and men gang oft aglcy,” was proven on
Thursday last by a humiliating termination
of what promised to he a glorious sleigh ride
down Mill Hill and through town. A trio
of worthics consisting of friends Charley
Dean, Charley Smith (he of the St. Ci'ispien
school) and our ex-neutral Selectman J. P.
Handford, assayed a ride, whereof the re-
famous dash through the were of Edmon-
ton, should bear no comparison. The dash
down Mill Hill was made in most brilliant
style. The urchins and passcis by to the
exhilarated party and stimulated steed dash-
ed by, but in an unguarded moment the run-
ner struck a hidden rail of our street car ar-
rangement and in an instant tliejoy and ex-
pectation of the party was overturned, as
was the sledge, and a confused heap of
black things floundering in snow and water,
with the debris of a demolished cutter were
all that was visible to the‘nakcd eye of the
crst proud sleighing party. None were kill-
ed, and the wounded were humanely borne,
very wet and with unmentionables conspicu-
ously rent, to Charley Smith’s shoe store,
wherebandages, splints and liniincnt have
flowed in, we learn, up to the present time.
“And when they take another ride, may we
be there to see." ’

WThe new postal arrangement does not
meet with much favor in this vicinity. The
mails are now delivered at the small stations
from the express train, which is an hour la-
ter than the accommodation train by which
they were formerly sent. People want their
morning mail at as early an hour as pos-
sible, and grumble at being obliged to wait
until after ten o’clock for its distribution.
The new mail catcher, attached to the pos-
tal cars, by which the mails are picked up
and left" way station, is not yet in good
working der, and causes much annoyance
vexation to business men by oft failing to
*deliver the mails. Frequently n ilshre car-
ried by stations in the morning, and are not
received until afternoon, when they come
from the cast. This arrangement is work-
ing successfully on other roads, and we pre-
sume will soon be in proper shape to do its
work in a reliable manner on the road. The
Bridgeport Standard says that the mail
catcher on the 8 a. m. train from New York
Thursday morning after picking up the bag
at Rye failed to fallback to its proper place,
but remained out, and stri’ik the covered
bridge at Greenwichwhichbrokeit clear from
the car, and left it sticking in the bridge.
The smoking car brushed by it tearing the
moulding and breaking the windows the
whole length ofthe car, and causing quztc a
commotion among the passengers.
No change has been made in the time of
the delivery of the mail in Norwalk, our
mail being brought up aslieretofore on the
first train out of New York, for which ac-
commodation our people are grateful. At
South Norwalk, however, the morning mail
is brought up on the express train, an hour
laicr than formerly. Why is this? Last
week, the morning mail was carried by three
times. ‘

Messrs. Whitney d: Beckwith deserve, as
we trust they may receive, the grateful ap-
preciation of the public, for the liberal, and
elegant style in which they have fitted up
their rooms, andtlirown them openfrce to all
visitors. Since the opening day, crowds of
visitors have throngcd them, delighted with
the exhibition. And Norwalk has reason to
be proud that such a gallery, and such ar-
tists, are located in her midst. And we can
but hope our citizens will duly appreciate,
both the liberality and the enterprise, and
reward the saute, by a liberal patronage.—
And that the gentlemanly proprietors will
yet reap, as they well deserve, a golden liar-

taste. Such exhibitions contribute much to-
ward making Norwalk :1 central point of' at-
traction, as well as of business. ‘ti'angers

while away an idle hour, and cannot fail to'
feel its refining and soothing effect upon their

may wcll repay the study and attention of
all lovers of art. , We mosthcartily congrat-

us, and the people of this community in gen-

such gallery in New York and in artistic

SLEIGIIING-By invitation of Mr. Leander
L. Allen, Jr., of N. Y., a party of fifty young
ladies and gents assembled last Tuesday
evening, for a sleigh ride to Stamford. They
were duly“transported” in four horse sleighs
to the Stamford House, where several hours
were spent in various amusements. Not-
withstanding the facf that“man wants but
little here below,” it is crcdiéably reported
that his guests were too much for the land-
lord at Supper. The party had a pleasant
ride home, and dispersed with cheers for Mr.
Allen, who had spared no expense or
trouble for their gratification.
We hear it estimated that there were three
_ hundred people from Norwalk at. the Hotels
in Stamford, on Tuesday evening last, on

N. Y. a". N. II. R. l:.--New'Cars.
On Saturday morning last, by invitation
of Supt. Herr, of the N. Y. & N. H. R. R.,
representatives of the N. Y. Tribune, Times,
World, Express, and Suburban News start-
ed on theS'a. in. express, for the purpose of
trying the new style Of English coaches,just
finished for the morning express trains on
the New York, Springfield and Boston route.
Between Rye and Portchcster one of the
driving wheels of the engine suddenly flew
to pieces, throwing the hind end of the bag-
gage and the front end or the new car off the
track but fortunately‘injuring nione ; caus-
ing a detention, however, of several hours
until another engine could be forwarded. At
Stamford, Norwalk and Bridgeport, local
members of the Press, and other invited
guests, joined the party.
These coaches, (named City of New York
and the City of Boston), are probably the
most complete and clegantever built. They
are built nearly the size of an ordinary car,
of fancy woods, beautifully pauneled and
otherwise embellished:
The ends are rounded, having no platforms
at single step runningr along the entire length
of the side, with a small iron step beneath
each door, of which there are six on each
side answering instead. Underneath the car
is asmall sheet-iron stove, fed with Kerosene
oil. This stoveheats the water, containing
salt, in pipes which pass under the seats in
the coach and keep the compartments warm.
The coach is a double-decker, and is painted
outside in rich and brilliant colors. It is di-
vided into six compartments, the four eepter
ones holding eight person, and the end ones
six persons. These compartments are fitted
up with all the elegance of a drawing-room.
The seats are upholstered with green plush,
and the floor carpeted with _vc1vct carpets.
Its sides are finished with beautiful black
walnut paneling and moulding. Over each
seat is a large oval mirror, which being op-
posite to midi] other, produce a. pleas-
ing delusion as you look into one of
them. The sight presented is an inter-
minable row of beautiful compartments
There are four windows to each compart-
ment, and a large window in each dobi'. All
are supplied with silk curtains and silver
mountings. Overhead is a pretty lamp, and
the roof" is painted in handsomcolors. Un-
der the seat will be found a table, which can
be opened, set up and used for either a card
or a lunch table. There are two of the cars
which have been built for this line by the
Wason Manufacturing Co., of Springfield,
at a cost of $15,000 each. The upholstering
was done by J. L. Howard, of Hartford.
Arriving at New Haven the party relin-
quished the car to the New Haven Press,
who went through to Springfield. The New
York party found large sleighs in waiting
at the depot which speedily conveyed them
to the New Haven House, where an elegant .
and sumptuous dinner was served. In re—
ply to a toast Mr. HorT stated that he had
been Superintendent for fifteen years, and in
that time not an accident had occurred by
which any passenger had lost either life or
limb, and the number carried was over 15
millions.
In the afternoon the party returned on an
old style car which had been fitted up with
Baker’s Patent Heater. This is a heater in
one end of the car, occupying about the
space of an ordinary stove, with an arrange-
ment for forcing hot salt. water in pipes coil-
ed under every seat in the car. On this oc-
casion it worked to a charm, for although it
was extremely cold, and apparently but
a little fire in the heater, the car was render-
.ed quite warm and comfortable.
One of these coaches leaves New York
and Boston every morning. The fare from
Boston or New York to Springfield, or any
point beyond is one dollar extra ; at any in-
termediate point, seventy-five cents. I

OF THE
Republican State Central Com-
' mitfécf ‘ '
20 the Electors of the Slate of Connecticut :
In view of the approaching election, we
ask you to consider the issue involved, and
to vindicate once more, here in our good old
State, the cause of Liberty. Justice and Na-
tionaf Unity. We earnestly entreat every
man who yet cherishes loyalty and hope for
the Republic, to lay aside every matter of
minor importance, to forget every personal
consideration, and look the cons<quences of
this election squarely in the face. Two par-
ties ask your support-- the Republican party
and the party that calls itself Democratic. In
the ranks of the Republican party can be
found no man who ever aimed is blow at the
nation’s life, or jccrcd the soldiers who, for
their country's cause, faced death in the field
and endured starvation in the prison-pens.
Every Republican was a true hearted patriot
during the war. On the other hand, in the
ranks of the Democratic party can be found
every traitor to his country and every trai-
tor’s ally. The war has ceased, but the spirit
of the rebellion lives—the shock and shout
of battle is heard no more. the fierce onset of
contending hosts, the grasp of the dying, the
wail of tlic wounded and the moan of the
prisoner, have passed into history, but the
contest is the same; parties and principles
and the results aimed at, are unchanged.
The Republican party is in 1868, as truly as
in 1861, the party of the Union. The Dem-
ocratic party is today, as then, the party of«
Rebellion.
It is the boast of our opponents that they
have not changed. We take them at their
word. Their principles are the saute to-day
as when they organized a rebellion, cursed
of God and man, plundered the nation’s treas-
ury, struck down its glorious flag, sought its
dismetnberment and over throw, murdered
its defenders, maligned, tortured and starved
its soldiers. Then they boldly proclaimed
the right of scccssion,based on “the sovereign
will of the PEOPLE, they deliberately reaffirm
by resolution, the “sovereign power of all
the States.” Then Northern and Southern
Democrats joined hands to establish South-
crn supremacy by force of arms. Now they
join hands in loving accord to embrace a re-
creant President, and join voices to shout his
praise, while he seeks to establish Southern
sunrcniacy, by thwarting the expressed will
of a patriotic people. The issue is plain.
The Democratic party to—day seeks to arc-
complish by votes what it failed to accom-
plish by bullets. The Republican party will
maintain at the ballot-box whar it won in the
field. 1 he only question in this election isthis:
SHALL THE AFFAIRS 01“ True NATION BE
ADMINISTERED BY ITs DEFENDERS AND
FRIENDS, on In: iTs ENEMIES ? Under our
banner fights the spirit of loyalty; under
theirs, the foul spirit of Treason.
. The orators and presses that never applied
the word “treason" to armed rebellion, or
“traitor" to a murderous foe, now rave about
a “treasonable Congress" and stigmatize
every patriot as a “traitor." They who saw
nothing revolutionary in secession now howl
about a “revolutionary Congress.” They
who sneercd at the murdered Lincoln, 10-day
denounce all who revere his memory and
who would emulate his virtues. The party
which in the nation’s need endeavored to
depreciate its currency and discredit it at
home and abroad, to day would repudiateits
just Obligations. The party which baffled
and hindered our triumph, opposed and pro-
longed the war,increhscd our expenditures
and forced upon us our national debt, now
whines over the burdens of taxation. The
party which persistently sought to disfran-
chlse the Union soldiers, now as persistent-
ly claims that the white rebel shall vote and
the colored patriot shall not. The party
which threatened bloodshedin our own State
and just over our border incited and counte-
nanced riot and disorder, today either bold-
ly threatens or darkly hints at civil war, if
defeated at the pills. The party which abet-
ted and defended treason, to-day would exalt
treachei y and reward (:f‘llllc: The party
which in national convuntion deliberately
pronounced the war a “ tiilure,” now joins
with do cated rebels to regain their “ lost
cause." Such is the record. Ponder it well
and act and vote as in the days when Con-
necticut stood with her New England sister
States, true to the flag, trite to‘the country
and to God.
Men may differ concerning the propriety of"
certain steps in the process of reconstruction
but upon the great question yet to be settled,
all patriotic men must and do agree. It may
be stated thus: Andrew Johnson and the
whole Democratic party boldly demand that
rebels shall be permitted to participate in the
affairs of the nation, directits policy and hold
offices of trust and power, while yet unre—
pentant, rebellious and malignant, hating the
government and determined to rule it for
their own wicked and damnable ends, or to
ruin if. Congress and the Republican party
insist on no forfeited life, no sweeping pun-
ishment, are ready to forgive and welcome
rebels, but demand that they shall give up
their rebellion and become loyal and peace-
ful citizens of the government they sought to
destroy. Upon which side of this great issue
will you be found? Democratic rebels at the
South and their Democratic brethren at the
North have formed a wicked alliance against
the best interests and righteous claims of the
Republic. We call upon all true hearted
men to bury every difference and join hearts
in the common cause of National Unity.
Men may disagrc concerning certain finan-
cial problems, but upon the great financial
question yet to besettled, all honest men can
have but one opinion. We state it thus:—
Thc Democratic party has but one hope of
success, and that through their alliance with
the rebels. Should it attain power, it can
keep it only by accceding to demands,first of
which is the repudiation our national debt.
Upon which side of Tins issue will you as
honest man be found?
We commend to you thecandidates select-
ed by thc Rtpublican Convention for State
Officers, knowing them to be men worthy of
your hearty and energetic support. We Com-
mend them to you knowing that, if elected,
it will be by the exertions and votes of men
whose first love is for a still imperilfed coun-
try, whose highest impulses are noble and
patriotic; but if defeated, it will be by the
votes of men who lifted no arm in the dc-
fence of the nation’s honor, who hoped and

seek to deliver it into the hands of its ene-

Republicans of Connecticut! YOU CAN
ELECT YOUR TICKET IF xouwmn. Last year
you were partially defeated, party by acci-
dent, partly by fraud: by accident in that
issues foreign to the real question were forced
upon yoti by persistent misrepresentation,
and by the attention of the people diverted
from the true nature of the contest; by fraud
in that vast sums of‘moncy were unscrupu-
iously furnished and as unscrupulously ex-
pended by your opponents in corrupting the
voters of the State. You have still to con-
tend with a party strongly organized, flush-
ed with partial success, backed by money,
seeking dishonorable ends, and hesitating at
no means for their accomplishment. The
result is with you. It is no holiday contest
upon which you have entered. There is a
Republican majority in the State. It rests
with you to say whether it shall be secured.
The means and result are in these words
WORK AND VICTORY. Work in fact and not
in theory. Every man a worker, and every
man a victor, should be, the motto of 'this
campaign.
Yours is the opening engagement of the
great presidential battle, in which is to be
fought. out and settled once and forever the
issues between right and wrong. justice and
injustiw liberty and despotism. The nation
stands watching and waiting the issue of this
engagement. Your victory shall elevate to
the highest officeiii a people’s gift the man
who to-day stands first in the hearts of his
countrymen, the true patriot, the sagacious
Statesman, and the greatest captain of the
world Under his guidande. tranquility shall
be restored, justice established, prosperity
ensured, and “THIS sIIALL BE A REPUBLIC
WHERE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE Is THE
LAW on THE LAND.”

. Our Correspondence.
fiwank, N. J., Feb. 4th, 1868.,
£- DEAR GAzETTE :—In this age of multipli-
City. of steam appliances it would seem that
those who delight to deceive an innocent
Eand in some respects ignorant public, would
use the greatest ofmotivepowersfito work a—
humbug.
I was considerably amused to see in your
issue of last week, a somewhat extended ac-
count of what was headed, .“Wonderful
Mechanism,A Steam Man," &c., copied from
one of our Newark Dailies. And while I
can enjoy seeing it so widely copied by oth-
er papers of rcputation,East and Northwest,
and can heartily join in laughing at those
who “come from far to woo and win the"-
not maiden, surely, yet I don’t relish the idea
of my fellow townsmcn being sold,—tliat’s
the word, sold—by crediting such a marvel-
ous’talc. One would think the genii were
not entirely played out, if one could see the
iron “Daniel Lambert” drawing a three seat-
cd rockaway at the rate of half a mile per
ininnte, over the smoothest possible road, or
even to see him walk alone.
Of course, nobody in Norwalk credits
such stuff, however well it may take else-
where, and so nobody there will be surprised
to hear that this “Steam Man," which has
created such a furor among scientific and
practical mechanics, and which drew two
crowded horse cars from Market street to
Belleville Avenue, as wascurrently reported
and accepted, though nobody could find the
man that happened to be on Broad St., that
day and saw it; and that is drawing such
crowds to Crumps Garden of those who dont
see the point of the joke of being swindled
out of their 35 cents, and those who go away
feeling well paid, and certain that the Man is
all there and well worth the money, among
which last, I learn, was P. T. Barnum, who
concluded not to buy it. .
The sensible inhabitants of “ye ancient
towne” will be well prepared to learn that
“Daniel Lambert," as he is very “face tiously"
called by those employed in his construction,
has yet to take his first step. Instead of
walking with majestic tread down the broad
avenue to “Crumps,” surrounded by an ad-
miring throng, he was subjected to the hu-
miliation of being carted in a, lumber-box
without springs. and that in the dead of
night with but one attendant to administer
to his wants and spread the oil of gladness on
his joints. This man, who is not lose a man
for being laughed at, is suspended from the
ceiling in Crump’s Breakfast Room to give
him'room to swing, and on application of
motive power, one leg rises a few inches, the
foot is thrown forward, and descends with a
sweeping motion, such as real young men
use when bowing and scraping to the femi-
nines,—then the other leg and foot, duo.—
This motion it is claimed will move the body,
and draw a carriage, but it. can’t, for it has
been tried and unsuccessfully.
Now I do not deny that a machine can be
easily invented, to walk on a smooth floor,
and possibly this may lead to the. discovery
of hitherto unknown motions, which may be
practically applied. But this is a costly
humbug both to the one who advanced
money for its construction, and to its dupes
who spend their money to see it paddle in
the air. '
I know that it was at first intended for
practical use, for having been somewhat in-
timately acquainted with the inventor who
served a part of his apprenticeship in the es-
tablishment where I am employed, I had op-
portunity of understanding his idea which,as
far as wagon drawing is concerned,seems sti-
perfluous for we haveit clearly demonstrated
that a carriage can be gotten up to travel
With well regulated speed on almost any
grade, of what possible advantage can it~be
to no to the additional expense of having a
“Man” that would be in cpnstant danger of
getting out of order, or falling down and
smashing itself?
The idea, not the “Man,” might prove fea-
siblc in ploughing the western prairies where
there are no stones-to de’stroy themachine;
once in working order it would soon be in-
troduced. ‘The shape of the “Man" is not so
extraordinary, for while at the American In-
stitute last fall, I saw steam engines in great
variety of shapes, some that resembled a
barrel which no one would dream contained
dynamic p'ower to the amount of thirty
horse, and one contained in a wheel which
with its shaft revolved on two bearings with-
out any visible motivc, or driving power,but
when the wheel was stopped, we saw on
each arm a cylinder and piston, which was
reached by steam by a liolc drilled into the
shaft, at one end of which was a boiler, and
at the‘other the exhaust valve. The curiosi-
ty or enthusiasm of many has led to the per-
petration of auumber of jokes on the inno-
cent, only one of which I will relate,
It is of a popular apothecary, who, hear-
of the feat the “Man” had performed of
drawing the horse cars, propose to Mr. Ded-
erick that he should drive down to Trenton
while the Le islature were assembled. Mr.
Dederick acquiesced and profferedthe Doctor
a seat in the carriage when they should go,
and he was so elated with the prospect of a
ride behind the “Steam Man" that he imme-
diately presented Mr. D. with :1 Thirty Dol-
lar silk flag, anal I underaand that the most
distant allusion to the “Star Spangled Ban-
ner,” will now cause the good Doctor to foam
at the mouth.
I notice in your issue a typographical error
which allow me to correct. Mr. Zadoc P.
Dederick was printed Mr. Lado Dedrick. I
have a picture of this wonderful monster, not
Mr. Dedrick, which I will enclose, it may be,
the enterprising photographers of N, may
want to copy it for exhibition.

WA western subscriber, a native of Nor-
walk, and a man of undoubted veracity, in
remitting $2.00 for another year’s subscrip-
tion to the Gazette, adds the following :—
“ I notice you copy from ‘Brick' Pome-
roy’s paper an article headed ‘A most strangc
chapter,’ but doubting the truth of it. Well
you may, for it seems incredible. But with
the exception that ‘she presented her hus-
band with a child,’ the story is strictly true.
Whilc'I was living in Wisconsin, 'her’ fami-
ly lived near me, and I have seen ‘hcr’ and
husband several times. ' Powell had a clerk-
ship in Washington during the war. She
had been to visit him there, and on . her re-
turn was arrested in Chicago as aspy, the
official supposing her to be a man in female
apparel. .She sent for her father, then liv-
ing in Broadhead. Of course she was clear-
ed of all suspicion, but the physicians who
made the examination decided shc was a
man, and with a slight operation he was
fully developed." '

W‘John Beatty, father en. Beatty.
just elected to Congress in Oh , was a soap
and candle maker in this city. Many anec-
dotes are told illustrative of his kind and
genial character. On one occasion a young
fellow-countryman in his employment stole a
box of his candles. He was much provoked
and had him arrested. tried and convicted of
he theft. On the trial he testified that the
candlcs were worth four' dollars—“every
penny of it." Thereupon the justice said
that as the value of the property was more
than three dollars and thirty-four cents, the
punishment, in addition to a line, must be
whipping at the post. Tlicpoor boy began
to cry. Beatty looked at him for amoment
and the tears came into his eyes also. “It
was more than he had bargained for,"—
Springiug up, be said to the court, “Please
your Honor, that was my retail price, but as
he took of me a Whole box I can afford to
call it three dollars ‘and a quarter.” The
young Irishman was not whipped. '

The ever truthful and readable correspon-
dent“D. W. B." thuswrites in his letter from
the Capital [to the Independent.—
The private advices which leading mem-
bers of Congress receive from the South are
very hopeful. Alabama, it is believed, W111
soon be represented in Congress by loyalmen.
The prospect of a glorious success in nearly
all the states recently in rebellion is excel-
lent. It is not possible for the President to
prevent a partial success; and I doubt if he
can prevent one of these states from return-
ing to its old place in the Union, and in the
way marked out by Congress.
There is comforting news, too, from New
Hampshire and Connecticut. The former
state is already seething with political cx-
citement— always agood sign for us. When
the people are awake we are sure to win. It
isonly when there is indifference and apathy
that we are in danger ofdefcat. Our friends
in New Hampshire are determined that the
“reaction," which has been the subject of so
much speculation, shall not wreck the Re-
publican party there. In Connecticut, with
a fine ticket and wise management, we ex-
pect not only to carry the lrgislature, but to
defeat English. The great prize, doubtless,
is the U. S. scnatorsliip. The President
withholds nothing from Babcock, Dixon and
Co. which be has to give, and which they
assert is necessary to_ carry the state; and
yet, in spite of it all, the Republicans will
elect the scooter, and there is a good pros-
pect also of the success of the state ticket.
The President and three or four members
of his Cabinet are still upon tlietrackof Gen.
Grant. The country is gravely informed by
the President, through the columns of the
New York World, that one member of the
Cabinet declared to the President his convic-
tion that the General was a “sneak and a
liar." One cannot but wonder whether it
was Randall or Browning who thus played
court fool for the satisfaction of the Presi-
dent. The country will not forget, how-
ever, that it was Andrew Johnson who gave
this information to the World‘s correspon-
dent. Never before was the presidential
chair occupied by aman so lost to all sense
of shame. We have had bad men it before,
and some of them quite as bad as Mr. John-
son; but they were gentlemen. Of course
no sensible person believes a word of this
foul libel—not though Randall and Brown-
in were to swear to it a. dozen times.
eforc I close, let me say a work respect-
ing a new phase of social life here. The
President is giving no dinnerpartics this
winter, satisfied with his Monday night re-
ceptions. Speaker Colfax has crowded rc-
ceptious on Friday nights; and for the first
time since he has been Speaker. lie is giving
congressional dinner-parties, grouping to-
gethcr at his table weekly half-a-dozcn mem-
bers from different states. And now to an
important fact: At these dinners he has ini-
ated the novelty (sincethe time Gerrit Smith
was in Congress) of giving oflicial dinncrpar-
tics without wine; and I hear that they are
pleasantest of the season. He opened the
new year strictly adhering to this rule ; for
on New Year‘s day, though his table was
loaded with good 'things, and his parlors
were full of sunshine, there was nothing
to drink in 'them stronger than chocolate
and coffee.

Between New York and Boston.
Commodore Vanderbilt is credited with
saying that “a wholly new avenue of com-
munication between New York and Boston,
is needed once in seven years” owing to the
rapidly increasing population in these two
cities anti of points between them. The
New York Post says that while this assertion
at first view seems exaggerated, yet in fact a
new line of communication between those
cities has actually been opened and sustained
once in five years, on the average, since the
commencement of steam traffic between those
points. Iflhis is so we see no reason why
the new railroad between New York to New
Haven and thence by the Air Line to Boston
should be longer delayed.

DIERIDEN.—Thc Hartford Courant of last
Thursday, contains the following, in its Mer-
“Meriden, I believe,
has the reputation abroad of supporting two
copperhead postofiices; but this is not the
fact, in anv proper sense. The post office of
the town is designated by the name of West
Meriden, and is now managed by Mr. Samu-
el B. Morgan, a gentleman who was appoin-
ted and confirmed on a petition of the bust-
ness men of the town and patrons of the of-
fice, and as a compromise betwoen the two
parties. While Mr. Morgan has usually vo-
ted with the Democratic party, he accepted
the confirmation at the hands of Senator
Ferry on a pledge that the affairs of the of-
fice should be managed fairly,and that equal
favors should be shown to Republicans-and
Democrats alike. Mr. Morgan has been true
to his trust and has had the cxcellen'. good
sense to abstain from a prominent part in
politics since holding the office. In justice
to his Republican friends and constitutents,
he also appointed a Republican to the post
of chief clerk, namely, Miss R. Genevia
Dowd, a sister-in-law of Dr. Pardec of Nor-
walk. Miss Dowd is a young lady of supe-
rior capabilities and qualifications—educated
and accomplished, a lady not unknown in
the world of letters-has for a number of
years been a teacher in a high school, and
has the rare faculty of pleasing aft. No lit~
tle ot the popularity of the West Meriden
office is to be attributed to the attention,care,
and uniform disposition to oblige and accom-
modate, that is noticeable on the part of the
chief clerk."
The following complimentary allusion to
a young teacher from Norwalk, we copy
from the Recorder.
The schools in town are in a very prosper-
ous condition. Colonel Sprague is in great
favor with his scholars and Mr. Finney is
succeeding admirably at Prattsville. After
one month of work, with the most encour-
aging results, he has been engaged to remain
there until next November, at a greatly in-
creased salary. 'l‘ltey have done well in sc-
curing his services, for other parties are
watching his success with interest.

Iron in the Blood.

comes reduced from any cause whatever. the whole
system endure, the weakest part being first attack-

to supply the blood with the necessary quantity of
iron. This can be done by using the

a protected solution of the protoxide of Iron which
is so prepared that it assimilates at once with the
blood. giving strength, vigor and new-life to the
whole system. ,
To take medicine to cure diseases occasioned by a
deficiency of IRON IN THE BLOOD: without re-
storing it to the system, is like trying to repair a
building when the foundation is gone.
