The citizens of Norwalk, residing within the limits of the proposed City, are request- ed to meet at the Norwalk Hotel on Friday evening, the 13th inst. at 7% o’clock p. m., to discuss the question of accepting ' the Charter ‘calmly and carefully, so as to act in the matter for the best interests of Our town, present and future. All are invited. - VICTORY AND PEACE. One week ago today the people of this vast Republic, in their majesty and might, made choice of him whom they would have to execute the legalized will of freelnen on this continent. Never did an early Novcm~ her day shine out more suspiciously. As if nature were eager to forecast the glorious of that victorious ,achievmcnt which the setting sun should witness, all day through its rays were undimmed by cloud and its beams resplendent with tempered warmth and glc- rics. , ‘ Here in Connecticut our triumph was more than we dared to anticipate, while here in old Norwalk where our majorities hug hard on a hundred and a half, to have giv- cn three hundred and silty-312v majority for Grant, was it consummation most glorious and inspiring. In Westport, and Greenwich even, indeed all the towns of our county, with scarce an exception, our vote was un- precedently large. But we would not vaunt ourselves over this resultas an entirely partizan triumph. \Vc know it is not, and would not so claim it. We know that Grant has run ahead of his party vote, and we most heartily rejoice at the fact. Scores, yea hundreds of independ- ent and upright democrats have voted for the nation’s chieftain, who had the capacity to conquer a peace with the labels when un- der Lee, and who will exercise the same po- tent sagacity in curbing the last remaining vestiges of disloyalty wherever found. We greet them as brothers and patriots and trust they may have no occasion to leave those with whom they have for the first time af- filiatcd.

The instrument has been printed and extensively circulath. It has we trust been carefully read and favorably consid- ered. It may not be all that individuals might prefer in such an enactment, but it was the best that could be got at the time, and it will be wise to adopt it and leave it forexpericnce to dictate reform. Those who care more for the good health, and the fair fame of our town,thc morals of our children, and comfort and safety of all, than they are for a few pennies of tax, will vote AYE, while those whose imaginations always dis- tort dimes ilito dollars, when in the shape of taxation, and have no other thought or purpose in life than how they may evade all share in the cost of government, will vote No. Are we, can we be, 'so mistaken as to believe that a majority will be found on the side of a better local government. “ Honor to whom honor is due.” Our political contest in this State, as else- where has been peculiarly earnest and glo- riously successful. All have worked with noble earnestness and intelligent zeal. From the most gifted orators and writers down to the humblcst boy in blue who nightly bore his torch, nothing but grateful .conimendation and praise are due. But so conspicuous and acknowledged have been the services of Senator Ferry and Ex-Gov- ernor Hawley, that no shadow of injustice is done any others of the grand union army, 18 making special mention Of these. To the former, our State owes a debt of grati- tude never earned by any predecessor in his high office. Night after night, during all the weeks of the canvass, has his eloquent voice been heard in the different localities of the state. The last day of the campaign only terminating his exhausting labors. Of Governor IIawley, even more may be stated in his praise. Laboring with the in- cessant, exacting diligence required of the leading editor of a leading journal, he has lifted his eloquent voice on the banks of the Kennebec and-traversed the states down to theCarolinas; cverywhereprofoundly stirring the minds of his hearers by his earnest, con- vincing logic and thrilling rhetoric. No moment of the canvass has he been idle, and if we do not gravely mistake the signs of the times and the logical result of cause and effect, these unusually laborious and con- spicuous services in behalf of Grant and the country, will be favorably considered when the time shall arrive for the ,election of a successor to “ Father Gideon.” Ye gods, what retributive justice that would prove! We thus early put the young chairman of the great Republican National Convention in nomination for the place. WMiss Anna Dickinson gave us her new lecture, “A Struggle for Life,” Friday eve- ning, outside of the Young Men’s Course. We have no sympathy and only rebuke for the senseless objection made by certain old ladies in pantaloons, who were too nervous to have her appear again under the auspi- _ces Of that better deserving association. Let us have Wendell Phillips and Dan. Voor- ,hees, Bayard Taylor and Beecher, Chopin and Thompson, and indeed the talented op- ponents of all creeds and shades of politics, so they have brains, and if the Young Men’s Course can’t supply this demand an inde- pendent association must.

Wilkes, Rhode Island, and American Girl, three noted steeds of nearly equal time, wh‘trot way up in the twenties. They have a special purse of $1,500. “Let us huvc Peace.” The night-the Hartford Boys in blue came out to celebrate the election of Grant & Col- fax, the White boys in blue, came out and joined their ranks in a spirit of the utmost good feeling. They were at once assigned the head of the line and so marched allover the city. We rejoice at this happy omen of returning good feeling and hope to see it widely copied. Nothing would please as better than to see our two clubs in line. The democratic club has made several parades, always orderly and creditable to themselves and we should rejoice to see all the torch bearers marching under the old flag and “keeping step to the music of the Union.” ,___.._.___.

The utter worthless- ness of the civil authority is shown by the fact that only one person has been hung against this startling record of murder. The general says it is impossible to get $0 courts to do justice in behalf of negroes where the offender is a white person. “ . ,—-———4—-«0o—o———-— Incendiarlsm. On Wednesday night last an attempt was made to fire the 'hat shop of Jesse S. Brad- ley, on Union street. It was happily dis- covered in time, and extinguished before much damage had been done. Had it got fairly started, it would have been a very (lis- astrous fire for South Norwalk, as the shop is located right in the heart of ancst of large and extensive wooden buildings, with no facilities for extinguishing fires nearer than our fire apparatus here up-town. It is also now thought that the burning of Solomon’s hat factory, on Thursday night week, was caused by the match of incendiaries. Is it not time that South Norwalk was awakened to the importance of having some sort of a fire department for selflproetction? Our Horse.

In this vicinity we all thought Old Norwalk—ever to be trusted—had done a big thing in gaining two hundred and six— teen votes in a. poll of 1860, since April, and thought we could claim to be banner town.

Jam-nu says: “The history of the growth of wool is very curious. Fifty years ago not a pound of fine wool was grown in the United States, in Great Britain, or in any other country ex- cept Spain. In 1784 a small flock was sent to the Elector of Saxony as a present from tthing of Spain, whence the entire pro- duct of Saxony‘wool, now of such immense value. In 1809, during the invasion of Spain by the French, some of the valuable crown liock was sold to raise money. The Ameri- can Consul, Jarvis, at Lisbon, purchased 1,400 head sent them to this country. A portion of this pure and unmixed Merino fiock is still to be found in Vermont at this time.

Tollcs,which passed As we announced last week, there is to be a course of lectures delivered the present season, at Ely’s Hall, under the auspices of Rowdyism at South Norwalk. We, a short time since called the atten- tion of the citizens of South Norwalk to the growing rowdyism of its street boys, and of the necessity of some check in the shape of a city government, police,'&c., in order that their streets-might be safe for travellers and strangers passing through their village. It seems that their rowdyism and frascality is ' .still on the increase, somuch so that they even molest their own citizens, 'men of prominence and character too, as will be seen from the-following brief record of their doings a few nights since, viz : on Saturday night week, thirty lights and several sashes were broken out of Knapp d5 Fitch’s car— penter shop, the front windows of Millard & Brownell’s store, seventeen lights in‘ the Union Knob Works, lights in the Union School, 850. While breaking the lights at the Union School two of the committee happened along and drove the boys from the yard, when, getting an addition to their number they in turn assaulted the committee and by stoning them drove them away. The boys then went into a widow Flick’s, who keeps a small shop near by, and asked her for some matches and upon her refusing they broke out lights and sashes of her windows. Four of the boys, we learn, have since been arrested and we're on Saturday last sentenced as follows : l J ohn'Tuttlc, Earnest Gillum and Charles Gallagher each $11 and costs and thirty days’ imprisonment in the county jail. Jo- seph Lockwood $7 and costs. If the friends of law and order at South Norwalk really desire to stop this rowdyism they should give the city charteraheavy vote, thus ensuring themselves a good strong government to punish, and police- men who could arrest the perpetrators of these petty rascalities upon sight instead of as now giving them all opportunities of cs- cape while constables are being hunted up and warrants pr‘ocurcd to enable arrests to be made. _. ~ ELECTION FUN—One of those strange wagers, infatuated men will make upon the result of elections, was made in Norwalk, and paid up on Saturday afternoon last. Two men in Winnipauk, made a bet ‘on the general result, one pledging the other that if his candidate was defeated he would wheel his opponent from that place to the bridge (a distance of two miles), in a wheelbarrow. The bet having been decided against the democrat, by the election of Grant and Col- fax, arrangements were made for paying the wager. To carry out the joke, some of the boys engaged at ba'nd of martial music to act as escort. Loading up his freight, the demo- crat started off on a run, to get 'best of the band, but a wagon was called into requisi- tion, and the band rode ahead, with the American colors flying, and a crowd follow- ing to see the fun. The journey was per- formed in good faith, and the Republican dumped out on the arch of the bridge, in the midst of a large crowd of spectators, in about twenty minutes from the time of start- ing. Pat was rewarded with three hearty cheers for the faithful manner in which he performed his part of the agreement. ' ‘p—.—————— WMCSSIS.

DflVld Prltchard, M. D., has been suddenly removed from this community, and many hearts have been made and by the bereavement. Dr. Pritcliurd was born at Waterbury, in this State. Oct. 21th, 1810, and died at S. Norwalk, Oct. 30th, 1868, aged 58 years. An,cxamlnation revealed a cancerous affection of the kidneys as the cause of his death. This disease had doubtless been prcyllig upon his system for several years, and caused him more siltl’er- ing than be ever disclosed to his friends. Its ravages at last were very rapid. lie was laid aside but a few weeks from active labors, and endured his acute suf- ferings with great fortitude and resignation. Dr. Pritchard graduated at Yale College in the Class of 1831, and received his medical diploma a few years subsequently from the Yale Medical School. He com- menced the labors of his profession at Madison, in this State, where his medical skill and urbane man- ners secured him a large practice and numerous friends. There he entered into the marriage rela- tion; and his companion, a member of one of the most respectable and wealthy families of the place, with three children, one son and two daughters, sur- vive to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and a most indulgent and affectionate father. After leaving Madison, be practiced his profession in several places in New Jersey, and came to South Norwalk in the autumn of 1861, where he has pursued Ills DNCUCG 5! seven years. His health has not been 11ml during this period, but he has never neglected his patients. , Dr. Pritchard was highly esteemed by the Faculty of Yale College, and by many eminent men in New Haven and other places where he resided. He had a very kind and benevolent heart. He did not neglect patients when the prospect of remuneration was doubtful, but frequently supplied medicines as well as attendance. Ills loss to his family is irreparable, and he will be greatly missed and lamented by his neighbors and those within the circle of his practice. During his last days he was calm and resigned to the will of his Heavenly Father, and placed all his hopes for the future in the sacrifice and mediation 0 Jesus Christ our glorious Redeemer. He was buried in Madison, where be commenced his professional career. Many friends gathered to his funeral to pay the last sad tokens of-rcspcct to their departed friend and beloved physician. Con. M.»— W The Horse Fair, this week, will bring many strangers into town, who will find good accommodations at the Old Well Hotel, South Norwalk. +4.p—. --— WWO have of course no voice in the ad- joining town of Wilton, but we deem it a charity to the public to point out evils wherever they exist, as a warning to our own people. On the direct road to Chest- nut Hill, a short distance to the south of the line of road from Weston to Westport, a stone wall is now in process of erection in front of a farmer’s homestead. The north end of this wall extends into the highway about ten feet and the entire line Of the wall is beyond the old boundaries, and upoxfle highway. This party is not an exception, others in the same neighborhood seem to have set the example. This contraction of the public way for private use may be all right for the town of Wilton, but we trust the interests of our people are better proticted. o WThe New York Tribune recently con- tained an article which must be full of inter-‘ est and entertainment for tax payers of the Metropolis, on what it very fitly calls “Hoff- manship.” It shows that under the adminis- tration of Mayor Hoffman the expenses of the city have run up from nine millions, under Mayor Opdyke, to twenty-four mil- lions—nearly treble. During Mayor Op- dyke’s term of office gold was at a higher pre- mium than now. It is hardly to be believed that Mr. Hoifman, whose administration of municipal affairs shows, all through, such reckless extravagance and criminal waste, in stumping the State, arraigned his oppo- nents for extravagance. And yet it is the fact. _. A.-. ..__ . A Struggle for Lifen-Justlco for the Fricndless. Miss Anna E. Dickinson in her admirable plea for justice to deserving, industrious fe- males, delivered at Lockwood’s Hall, last Friday evening, related in her usual graph- ic manner a painful incident in the life of a poor youngoEnglish girl now under sentence of death in the city of Philadelphia for the murder .of her illegitimate infant child,whosc death was caused by the atrocious acts of the child’s father. Is such injustice to be allowed without a protest. An innocent girl to suffer the ex- treme penalty of the law and the real cul- prit—a man—to go unpunishcd ? Can’t Miss Dickinson furnish the facts of this case, sup- ported by satisfactory evidence, to be pre- sented in the form of a petition, liberally signed, to the proper authorities, to try to release and restore the poor girl» and cause the merciless perpetrator of the murder to meet a just punishment for his fiendish deed ‘E W“ MORE MYSTERY.—Thc New York papers, always on the lookout for sensational stories of “romance and crime,” are publishing the following :— ' “A curious phase in elopement was devel- oped last week in the northwestern corner of Brooklyn, otherwise known as Greenpoint. The particulars, as far as ascertainable, are as follows: “A married woman, residing in Oakland street, between Meserole andNoi-man ave— nue, has for some time past frequently visit- ed New York under the pretence of seeing her sister. On the 23d of last month, on re- turning from one of these visits, she brought home a. lady with her, who was introduced to her husband ss Mrs. Cleveland, an old schoolmste ofthc wife, who wished to stay with the family for a few days. The gener- ous husband acquiesced in everything his good wife wished, and no objection was made. “The visitor was very timid and not used to the noise of the city, and was afraid to sleep alone, so the wife retired with her to the room assigned her, while the husband slept with, his children. This pro ramme continued until Monday of this wee , when her visit to her friend and neighbors, depart- ed for home. 011 election day the wife took advantage of her spouse remaining at home to have him assist her in getting carpets up, and shaking the same, reparatory to clean- ing house for winter. bus on Wednesday morning the house was in the utmost imag- inable confusion. On the husband’s return in the evening he folmd his wife, family, and household articles all gone. “Thursday developed the fact that the wife . had shipped her children to Norwalk, Conn. to her husband’s sister; and she took tickets for a tour westward with the abOve men- tioned Mrs. Cleveland, who turns out to be a young man of cifeminate characteristics. One of the children remarked, on Mrs. Cleve- land entering the house, that she acted some- thing like a man; but it was not then no- ticed. Thc'furniture, money and valuables taken amount to nearly $400. The family has enjoyed a good reputation, and this un- looked for incident has shocked the sensi- bilities of the neighborhood, and afforded a topic for what is locally known as ‘Orchard Gossip,’ "—Sunclag/ lime. , . M4.» A CARD. Mrs. D. Pritchard would take this method of ex- pressing her tiisnks for the care and kindness shown her late h band throughout his illness, especially to the physic ans who were in attendance.
