@Business of importance at the stated
communication of St.John’s Lodge, Thurs-
day evening.
.s—o—————-
W We have incidentally learned of a
movement, made by Mr. H. H. Elwell, Supt.
of the Norwalk Lock Company towards the
temperance reformation of operatives in his
employ. While Mr. Elwell may not thank
us for giving publicity to his self-inspired
and self-imposed labor of love, we knowing
the terrible need of such efforts in our com-
munity, cannot from a sense of public duty
refrain from using it with the ardent hope
that others may be inspired to effort in the
same direction. If our business men, our
heads of families, fathers, mothers, sisters,
_can look upon the fca'rfully prevalent habit
of moderate drinking among our young men,
without the most painful forebodings, they
are less sensible to fear, or more indifferent
to the almost universal habit, than we can
believe any one capable possessed with the
common feelings of humanity.
Among our clerks, mechanics, laboring
men, and even boys the. practice has become
painfully common and the end, fearful, terri-
ble, beyond the power of language to de-
scribe, is only too rapid and certain.
A dozen times a day, are our nostrils of-
fended by the rum polluted breath of. per-
sons, the most respectable, worthy and gen-
teel. Men not drunk,but evidencing moder-~
ate or occasional dram taking. We heartily
commend the effort of Mr. Elwell and hope
a hundred, yea. a thousand others, both men
andwOmcn,will rise up here in Norwalk and
follow his noble example, and thus save our
very best men and boys from the horors, the
shame and death of drunkenness. God
speed the reform.
WThe Norwalk White Boys,with a few
small boys from Darien, made a street pa-
rade in town last Tuesday evening, music
by the Norwalk Band. Wednesday night
they went to Bridgeport, Thursday night to
Stamford, and Friday night to New Canaan.
The boys seemed to enjoy the sport hugely,
especially as there were no personal expen-
ses incurred.

He asserts explicity that the completion of

reconstructing the rebel states cannot be
safely intrustcd to any men but those
“drawn from and representing that class of
citizens who maintained the Government in
the prosecution. of the civil war and in the
abolition of slavery.” To confide the re-

The Horse Fair.
While we have serious misgivings both as
to the wisdom and success of the great
Horse Exhibition and Farmers’ Exchange,
arranged for next week, under the auspices
of our County Agricultural Society, We
are abundantly assured that while the exhi-
bition is largely devoted to trials of speed,
every precaution will be taken to prevent
its degenerating into a low, horse racing
carnival. The “ professional” or rather
“rowdy” driver is to be excluded and every-
thing done that can be to give such an exhi-

Gough’s Lecture.
As large and appreciative an audience as
was ever crowded into Lockwood’s Hall
greeted the popular orator and reformer at
the opening lecture of the Young Men’s
course, Friday evening. We decm his lec-
ture—a new one, “Circumstances”—the best
of his series. It sbounded in the noblest
sentiments, as well as sallies of wit and
humor.' '- .
In this connection we cannot refrain from
uttering a protest against the utter disre-
gard of ventilation in the hall on this occa-
sion. With seven to eight hundred lungs
absorbing the oxygen of the room, and
never a window open to admit a fresh sup-
ply, is simply criminal negligence.
m
WThc Bridgeport Stande and Dan-
bury Jefersom‘an give our Norwalk Boys in
Blue a gentle box on the ears for giving
their guests such an unconscionable long
march on Thursday night. No one regrets
the violation of the line agreed upon and
published more than the ofiicers of our two
clubs, and the effort to do too much was
consequent upon that over zeal and want of
judgment so apt to develop itself on such
occasions. Our town, all ablaze as it was,
looked so pretty, that, like children, some
desired every illuminated house and avenue
to be traversed. It was a mistake that will
be made all right to-day.

The Grand Demonstration.
The great torchlight procession of the
Boys in Blue, on Thursday night last, was
by all odds the grandest political demon-
stration ever made in Norwalk. For sev-
eral days our citizens had been busy with
their preparations for illuminating their
premises. and the result was every way
grand and creditable to our town. .
Early in the evening the Boys in Blue
from Norwalk and South Norwalk, with
large delegations from Bridgeport, Stam-
ford, Greenwich, Danbury, Westport and
other places, congregated in the open square
at the depot, South Norwalk. After the
usual delay in forming large bodies of men
into line, at half past eight o’clock, the pro-
.ssion commenced moving o'ver the line of
march. Companies of cavalry from Nor-
walk, South Norwalk, and Stamford, head-
ed the line, followed by the Wheeler & Wil-
son Band of Bridgeport, escorting the Boys
in Blue of Norwalk and the visiting com-
panies from abroad, comprising Boys in
Blue, Tanners, Carpet-baggers, and Scala-
wags, from Bridgeport, Boys in Blue from
Stamford, Greenwich, Westport, Darien,
Stratford, Redding, Bethe], Georgetown, the
Bartram do Fanton Band of Danbury, the
Grant and Colfax Legion of Danbury,
Gibbs’s city express with Grant and Colfax’s
baggage for the White House, Carpét—bag-'
gers from Norwalk, Danbury, New Canaan,
&c., altogether numbering from 1,500 to
2,000 persons.
The line of march at South Norwalk,
which the Committee were assured could be
walked over in twenty~five minutes, strung
out very long,—alt0gether too long, as the
boys found out to'their sorrow,-—and when
the procession came tip-town, the men were
completely flagged out, many torches were
burned out, many men and even companies
fell out, and the Marshal was compelled to
omit part of the published programme, and
proceed to the Park for refreshments. In
"making out the line of march for any future
parade, we would suggest that the Committee
personally march over the ground before
publishing the programme.
The Wheeler & Wilson, and Bartram &
Fanton Bands, and the various drum corps
furnished excellent music, and the carpet-
baggers, scalawags, &c., furnished fun du-
ring the march.
Notwithstanding the long march the boys
kept up good nature,and freely and constant-
ly_ cheered the people who illuminated, us-
ing good discrimination and cheering every-
thing that struck their fancy.
The illuminations on the line of march
were almost universal, and were certainly
very beautiful and grand. Almost every
house it seemed, on the entire line, was il-
luminated and decoratdd, every man striving
to excel his neighbor. Candles in the win-,
dows everywhere, together with all the gas
that could be obtained, fireworks, flags,
streamers, transparencies, mottoes, portraits,
and everything else that could be made
available for the purpose were freely used,
with effect. We desired to refer specially to
some of the leading places illuminated, but
find itimpossibl‘e, because the illumination
was so gcperal and extensive, If we should
mention a hundred places, there would still
be other hundreds equally worthy of men-
tion. In some streets every house was illu-
minated, and in others nearly every house,
and the wonder was where the democracy
lived. On the hillsides off the line of march
many places were conspicously illuminated.
In both villages, east and west, everywhere
were seen the lights and decorations in hon-
or of the Boys in Blue and their gallant
leaders GRANT and COLFAX. .
Owing to the length of the march and th
fatigue of the men, some confusion occ
in distributing refreshments at the Park.
Great abundance of the best of sandwiches,
cake, 850., had been cheerfully contributed
by the ladies of the town, but owing to the
large number present, the COmmittee deemed
it impossible to get into a hall, and arranged
to feed the men drawn up in line, which ar-
ran gement did not work as well as expected.
However, all succeeded in getting well sup-
plied with cofl'ee and eatables, afler which
the men dispersed for the cars and their
homes.
The citizens onMain Street who illumi-
nated in honor ,of the procession, which
did not pass their places as per programme,
can console themselves with the thought
that their show was not altogether useless,
for the neighbors were benefittcd by it, and
the general efl‘ect enhanced.

ORIGIN or .MAHOGANY FURNITURE—An
Indian captain, about the beginning of the
eighteenth century, had brought some logs
of mahogany as ballast for his ship, and
gave them to his brother, Dr. Gibbons, an
eminent physician, who was then building a
house. The wood was thrown aside as too
hard for the workmen's tools. Some time
afterwards his wife wanted a candle box.
The doctor thought of the West Indian
wood, and out of that the box was made.
Its color and polish tempted the doctor to
have a bureau made out of the same ma-
terial, and this was thought so beautiful that
it was shown to all his friends. The Duchess
of Buckingham, who came to look at it,
begged wood enough to make another bu-

for more, and Honduras mahogany became

WIIO ARE THE BLOATED BOND-HOLDERS ?—
It will be well for our honest, laboring class-
es to look this matter fairly and squarely in
Lthe face and see what the cifecf of a vote
for Seymour might be. It is an uncontrc.
verted fact that our Savings Banks
hold a very large amount of Government
securities, and therefore all depOsitors, large
or small, are really bondholders. Again,
many, very many of our people, of all class-
cs have loans of money from the Savings
Banks .for which they have given'mortgages
on their hoinesteads. Now, if Seymour. by
any possibility could be elected, and at the
behestsof his party should endeavor to car-
ry out their platform by rcpudiating the
bonds, what would be the result? The Sa-
vings Banks would be obliged, in self-de-
fense, to call in their loans ; what then?
are all the borrowers ready to pay up', 01'
would it be necessary to sell their home-
steads at forced sale to meet their notes. If
so, are they not to a great extent bond-hold-
ers. Yet again, if your place is not mort-
gaged, you have perhaps an insurance on it;
and the insurance companies all through the
country hold government securities, suppose
they are killed by this repudiation of the
bonds, does not that effect you and your
family? The Life Insurance companies are
also in the same situation. so turn as you
may you will find that the doctrine of repu-
diation as advocated by the democratic par-
tywill re-act upon the honest laboring class-
es Of the country so that the poor man and
his family will be the principal suffers after
all, for the rich men have other means of
support.
The rebel cry in the South is still “death
to the Radicals.” In the North the Demo-
cratic cry is “life and honor to the rebels.”

-—The Hartford democrats are becoming
notorious. On Wednesday evening they
again attacked the store of Captain O’Far-
-rell, tore down the illuminations. The cap-
tain’s crime is that he votes the republican
ticket. The democrats, who will not asso-
ciate with Irish Americans, evidently con-
sider they own them soul and body.
—The Union Pacific Railroad is now com-
pleted 885 miles west from Omaha, which
brings it within 150 miles of Salt Lake City,
and the road is nearly all graded for this
distance, while the iron for the track is all
on the way. It is confidently expected that

to all men that the activity, buoyancy and
energy of the democratic party are gfeater
than they would have been if we had car-
ried the October elections.” What a lively
and happy party they will be after Tuesday.
—chry A. Wise shouts, “secession is not
dead. I support Blair because he promises
revolution.” The people of the north will

the most available point to erect a. suspen-
sion bridge across the Hudson. whereby the

senger cars; _it would carry safely 34,560
people, and 60 locomotives, if they could be
placed upon it at once ; 18,000 cople and 53
locomotives would fill it. he bridge, if

—Thc Minneapolis (Minnesota) Tribune
says :—“The speculative demand for cran-
berries is very large this season, and de-
prives our home market of the usual bounti-
ful supply. They readily command from $3
to $3.25 per bushel, and even at those
figures but few can be Obtained for the re-
tail trade. Hundreds of barrels have been

are still going at the rate of fifty to seventy-
fivc barrels per day.”

—The new insane asylum athiddletown,
Conn, has 114 patients.
—Why is it that “religious” people in mod-
ern novels are almost invariably drawn as
dishonest persona? Probably the true rea-
son is this: the novel writer and the novel
reader (as a class), prefer to regard religion
in an unfavorable light. It suits them to be-
lieve that Christians are unlovely people.
And then it must be admitted there are too
many religious people who sit for the por-
traits that novelist lovc to draw. .

Norwalk, Oct. 26, 1868. JAMES L. GRIFFETH.
THE subscriber having just returned from New
York with a new pattern of the GOODENODGH
HORSE SHOE—all made of Steel, just the thing for
winter use,—-is now prepared to shoe horses and oxen
in any shape desired. He has en d Mr. S. Hull,
who has just returned from the Thir Avenue Horse
R. R.‘ Co.‘s shop, in New York, where he has spent
some time under instrntcion from the most compe-
tent and experienced workmen, and where the use
1500 horses and use the Goodenough Shoe exclus rely.
With so large a number of horses they must _under-
stand all the complaints which horses are subject to,
and the Remedies to apply. All owners of horses w1l
please call and see the Shoes.
Owners of horses, give us a call,
We will kindly wait on you all;
And strange to you it may appear,
We will warrant them not to Interfere.
The Shoe is made of the best of steel:
Wepare the toe. and spare the heel—
With knife and rasp we fit the Shoe,
And do not burn as others do.
Could horses talk,I will assure you all
They would loudly cry, “give him a call I”
To other hroses as they meet,
They would laugh and say, ”look at my feet!”
They snort and prance and away they go
Because they are shod with Goodcnough.
