To Advertisers.
Advertisers in order to secure insertion of
their favors must hand them in as soon as
Saturday noon, as We cannot insure the ad-
. misson of any long ones sentin on Monday.
WThanksgiving,which was presagcd by
one of the most glorious days of all the fall,
was wet and dreary enough till near night,
when the clouds broke and the sun went
down as bright and smiling as the happy
eyes that gleamed about ancestral hearth-
stones. The well-to—do, ate and enjoyed
themselves as is the wont on such occasions.
The poor (and there are very few suffering
poor in Norwalk) were generally and gcncr-
ously remembered by their better condition-
ed neighbors and friends. The churches
were thinly attended ; the boys were de-
spoiled of their annual game of ball-play-
ing, and the luxury and solace of “home”
enjoyed by all in an unusual degree. Vide

@‘Considerablo alarm has been felt on
account of the breaking out of the small
pox in town. As no new cases have occur-
red, we do not consider that there is cause
for anything more than the caution that
everyone be vaccinated. In Germany and
other parts Of Europe, the laws require
every child on reaching a specified age to be
vaccinated. A similar legal provision
would save a vast amount/of fright and mis-
ery if enforced in this country.
As usual in such cases, the report of the
. prevalency of this disease at South Nor-
wall: has been much magnified. We learn
that there have been but six cases altogeth-
er (including the first which was a case of
varioloid). Two cases, Mrs. Becker and
Larry Towlc, proved fatal ; the Others are
convalescent.

@‘In reply to “Indignation” and other
correspondents, we would say, that we pro-
fer not to take part for the present in the
controversey going on concerning the new
Bank Building. We are told too that the
difficulty that had so stirred up our citizens
is in a fair way of being adjusted.
m
W‘Dr. Gregory’s barn was again entered
Saturday night and his robes and blankets
stolen. The thieves seem to have a special
liking for the Doctor’s property, The fre-
quency of these depredations is becoming
alarming. Will not some one get up a call
for a town meeting to the end that some re-
ward or other means may be suggested to
arrest this evil. The reputation of the town
is most seriously imperilled. New comers
will be very 10th to settle down in a place
where thieving has become a pastime and
no effort made by the authorities to put a
stop to it. ‘ ‘

New Skating Pond.
If the young gentlemen of Norwalk
would do a gallant thing, and one which
would be sure to find favor in feminine eyes,
let them organize and set out with a sub-
scription paper for the purpose of securing a
winters carnival of shining sport on Union
Park. A little embankment, say two and a
half feet high, would be sufficient. A drain
from the springs just above would soon fill
it, and keep it flooded all winter at a most
atrifling cost, while the winter‘s flooding
would so improve the soil as to increase the
growth of sword for another year. Boys
let’s have the skating pond.
WThe mayorslty election occurs to-
day in New York. A. Oakcy Hall is the
nominee of the Tammany or ruling wing.
Mr. Hall is well and favorably known to
many of our citizens as a former resident of
Norwalk. Since his departure to Gothsm
w‘jfenr he has been demoralized by the con-
timéiing influences of that wicked locali-
. __ V is; now: ' _oted “for his ability as a
'mitmn‘ndohis d. rous thimble-rigging as‘a
politician. Though unscrupulous”as a poli'
tician, we have that faith in his integrity as
a man to believe that if chosen he will not
yield that ready acquiescence his predeces-
sors have to the hordes of thieves and plun-
derers which now infest the government of
the city. The Republican nominee is Col.
F. A. Conkling, a brother of the New York
Senator, one Of the ablcst men of his years
on the floors of Congress. Col. C. on the
breaking out of the rebellion marshalled a
regiment of New York soldiers and led
them to the field. He is at the head of one
of the large Insurance corporations of that
city, and is a gentleman of superior admin-
istrative abilities and pro-eminent purity of
personal character. The jobbers and plun-
derers would find lean commons under his
administration of the city government. He
willreceivc the support of the war demo-
crats and that large faction of the democrat-
ic party now in open hostiliiy to Tammany.
Although we dare scarce entertain the hope
of his election, his chances are far from be-
ing certainty against him. In the interest
of the outraged and swindled tax payers of
New York he has our best wishes for his
success. ’ "

A Town Cemetery.
Water works, we may not yet introduce ;
a city charter is a benefit to be postponed ;
good walks, clean streets, a wellprdered
local government, are blessings ardently
hoped for, but dimlyseen in the future. But
there is one thing we may have—hay, we
must have. We require a new cemetery.
One in proportion and location that shall
not only obliterate all others, but prove for
all time, even in the dim-coming centuries,
selflprotecting, self-supporting and self-per—
petuating. _
We have now‘within the town limits of
Norwalk something more than a dozen old
burial places. It is not too much to aver
that all of these, With scarce a single ex-
ception, show symptoms of neglect and
decay.
First, then, we should have a cemetery of
not less than a hundred acres. If three or
five hundred can be secured, all the better.
This should be located so as to be easily ac-
cessible to Upper Norwalk and South Nor-
walk; to Winnipauk, Silver Mine and West
N orwalk. Then the land should be secured,
not in any spirit of speculation on the part
of either purchasers or sellers, but this one
generous, noble and Christian duty should
commend the best efforts and sympathy of
every citizen of Norwalk.
We have such a location. In picturesque
beauty and charm of its wild woods, rocks
and water-falls, surpassing even Mount Au-
burn or Greenwood, before they were em-
bellished by man’s culture and art. If the
good people of Norwalk will espouse the
enterprise with that spirit of' generous cor-
diality and eo-operation which marks their
action in matters of speculative or business
association, we feel assured that not another
year will pass over us before we can boast
a place of scpulchre for our loved ones which
Will vie in beauty with any in the land.

A NEW MINISTER 'ro MEXICO—The Spring-
field Republican nominates Mr. Charles A.
Dana as the new Minister to Mexico, and
says :
Beside all the essential qualities for the
delicate and difficult post, Mr. Dunn is arm-
ed with many personul accomplishments
ly. He can talk Spanish or any other lan-
guage as glibly as his mother tongue ; he
knows more about Mexico, its mines and
mountains, than any Mexican, for he got up
the American Encyclopedia; he is the best
horseman after Phil Sheridan in the coun-
tr . ; he is handsome and the ladies all like
him, and he likes the ladies; he writes an
excellent hand, and Mr. Sumner will be able
to read his dispatches without trouble.
WML Dans has far too valuable an in-
terest in the Sun to be thus ruthlessly sent
out of the country. If Gen. Grant desires
to give expression to his warm personal
friendship for the genial editor of the Sun,
by conferring upon him some public trust,
he had better by far put him charge of the
New York Custom House. Honesty, fideli-
ty and vigor would thus be infused into its
administration. Qualities that have not of
late particularly troubled that locality.

of 20 full cars of Passengers, en route to
their old homes in New England to spend
Thanksgiving,and the passengers on that
train really had great cause of Thanksgiv-
ing'in that they were not burned alive on
said trip, for a lamp in one of the cars, just
after-being lighted broke from its fastenings
and fell to the floor, causing greatconsterna-

moments danger seemed very imminent,
as it feR very near the dresses of several la-

Justice Dowling: That is not so ; I’ve
watched you attentively in your career, and
notice you in and out of court, and I doubt
not but that you have spent more of your
ill-gotten gains, in law-suits, in quicker time
and for less cause than any person ever
brought to my notice. I will, however, take
core that you will not ’molest the public for
some time to come, and sentence you to
three monihs imprisonment and fine you $50
on the charge of Topsey; after the expira
tion of which sentence you will serve anoth-
er period of three months incarceration, and
pay an additional fine of $50, on the com-
plaint of your wife."

cannot be removed, except by extermina-
tion, which would be neither expedient,
practicable, nor desirable ; that it is better
that he should be an educated rather than a
brutish animal ; and that it is better that
he sould be elevated to the di nity and re-

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Knlght-Errontry.
Mucous. EDI-tons :—Ou'r excellent friend who tube!
to the defence of his “good friend," like a gallant
knight with his visor up, asserts that one, at whom -
he poiscs his lance, stands forth in "the defence of
St. Paul." No, indeed! St. Paul needs no such dc-
fender.
“Your correspondent ‘B.’" was compeued to d" '
fend himself, as one of a class stigmmlea in the
Gun-nu so “nervous old ladies in pantsloons,” and
assailed with “rebuke" for their “senseless objec-
tion," because they questioned the propriety 0‘ in‘
Wins 3 3'0““! lid! (‘-‘in pantaloons"?) to mount the
rostrum “under the auspices of the Young ”9""
Christian Auoeiouon." - Thus attacked with the
“sword and spear" of rebuke and rldiculc,—as the
warfare, on his part, was under their “Christian”
ballncI',-—ll¢ resorted to those weapons of defence
which St. Paul recommends, and furnishes-“Above
all, taking the shield of faith, whorewlth ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of tho wickedi”
also “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of
God”—assured that thus he .might “be able to with-
stand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.”
But. alas for his devoted head! The distressed
dumscl’s “Knight of the sorrowful countenance"
”OW! 65“” to beat. down both shield and sword
with the fell denial that they have “the full force of a
literal construction ;" and, moreover—to increase the
danger of “ll-’8" hazardous position—aims to draw
around him a “net-workof dimculties, from which it
will be no easy task to extricate himself." Vcrlly, ho
scenieth to be in the peril of the “fishes that are
taken in an evil net ;" for what is a shield and sword
constructed for, or good for, if not. a “literal" shield
and sword? Not half so useful as the wooden guns
of the rebels, which had, for McClellan, “the full
force of a literal construction." '
It certainly behooves us to test. our weapons drawn
from God's armory. Let us put them on the anvil.
Have they the ring of true metal? Here they are in
the 14th chapter of 1st Corinthians. "Paul, the
Apostle," is rebukiug certain disorders that had
wrought confusion in the Church of Corinth. So he
cautions—“Lot all_things be done unto edifyingft
and again, “For God is not the author of confusion.
but of peace."
After this striking and significant preface he utters
the warning and injunction, “Let your women keep
silence in the churches, for it is not permitted .unto
them to speak: butthey arc commanded to be and ' ,
obedience, as also " the law. And if they will
learn anything, let them ask their husbands.“ home;
for it is a shame for Women to speak in the church."
Now this may be one of Paul’s “hard sayings"—
but not “hard to be understood, which they that are
.unlearned and unstable west." 11' it be not very plain
and literal. so that “he that readcth may run.” (away
from a woman that will not “keep silence in the
churches,” and counts it not “shame for women
to speak in the church,") then will our friend tell us
what is "the full force of its construction”? Is it
figurative? Is it “Piekwicklan”?
And hear Paul’s “conclusion of the matter,” In the
lastjcrse of the chapter—his “thus eudeth the les-
son'.’:—“Let all amt. be done decently and in order.”
Miss Dickinson '5 friend finds it convenient to pass
very lightly over the’s‘ecbnd appeal to Paul. But he
says, “The reference _to 1st Timothy, 2d chapter, 11th
and 12th verses, is more conclusive."
(Has the printer blundered? Or is our friend using
an expression of “sham irony,” as he says Miss D.
was when she slid—not as the Bible says, “Marriage
is honorable in all, "but-“There are two classes of
people who have my most unmitigated pity—those
who are' married, and those who expect to be"?
Irony, indeed! Fine words for the Young Men’s
Christian Association! "Comment here is needless")
But what is this second lesson—-“the more con-
clusive reference"? The Apostle Paul is exhorting
Timothy “that the Women adorn themselves in modest
apparel, with shamafacadnesss sndsobriety," and then
expresslvely adds, “Let the women learn in silence,
with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to
teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be
in silence." He then gives his reason—in his signifi-
cant allusion to the fall of man, which befell Adam
“because he hearkencd unto the voice of his wife”—
"For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam
was not deceived; but the woman, being deceived,
was in the transgression.” .
So much for setting the woman “on the platform"
in Eden, with the Great Deceiver at her back.
. Our friend may “iisten'to her with interest,"—(so
did Adam—Maud never, I think, without advantage"
(so did not Adam.) ‘
But we are told that Paul’s words, “in the ch arch"
and “in the churches,” “are emphatic"—“litcrall_v
construed, they go no further.” We will not press
the reply that they go far enough to indicate the
proper course of the Y. M. Christian Association, who
are "in the churches,” and who appeal to the churches,
every month, for their support.
But we go further, in reply to our friend’s demand,
“Tell us how these words [of Paul] interfere with a
woman's liberty to speak from- platform before a
miscellaneous audience?" Our answer is: Because
they propmmd a great principle that God has ordained,
in the nature and relation of the cues, in the fitness
of things, in the whole course of His providence, and
in the unequivocal utterances of His Word. If this
principle covers the pulpit, so as to forbid the on-
trance of woman, it atleast “throws a net-work of
difficulties" over the rostrum, “from which it will be
no cosy.matter to extricate her." If the reasons
given by Paul are valid' «slant a woman’s being I
public teacher of the“. Sceiianeoun'nudlenco" gs-
thered before the pulpit, ;why do they not deny her
“liberty to speak from the platform," perhaps be-
fore the same audience, and upon the same class of
subjects, say “morals and polltlcs”?—(for the ad-
herents of such women's rights generally claim that
politics should be discussed, in a measure, from the
pulpit.) The Greek word for church, as used by St.
Paul, is ecclesfa, which is defined by Robinson’s Lex-
icon of the New Testament—“(1) any public assem-
bly, or congregation; (2) a church—tbs Christian
Church." If a womsh has liberty to “teach" in the
“public assembly," then why not in the “church"?
“Ah," our friend may say, “a literal construction of
St. Paul forbids." But why? Is the prohibition
arbitrary? Or, is it not rather founded in the reason,
nature, and fitness of things? '
So then, if the tam quoted, literally constmed, do
not cover the platform, we submit that the principle
involved does, as a fair, just, legitimate inference.
But our friend seems to tnrn,with haste and asense
of relief, from the argument of Divine authority,to the
pleadings of human custom, and usage. and fashion.
' woman may dance, and this is not offensive. But let
a woman utter her language in public," (as a public
lecturer, or oratory) and then, in the strikinglanguage
of our friend, “the jig is up." What then? Shall a
stage actress read, shall a prima donna sing, shall a
shameless woman dance, “upon the platform, and
under the auspices of the Young Men’s CHRISTIAN
Association”! That is the question. If you answer
No, than, clearly, “the jig is up."
Let the music be hushed, put out a... foot-lights, and
let all retire; for woman has lost her liberty. Fathers,
husbands, and brothers are invited to the funeral.
As for "the orthodox pattern" of ‘ffos'rs, concerts,
and tableaux to raise funds for religious purposes,”
we leave all to the tender mercies of our friend.
We make‘no attack apes the private character, or
social position of Miss . We disparage not her
motives. We sympathize with "the helpless'find
Influx-ing class for which she speaks.” But we re-
ceive not our law from her mouth. We srein sub-
jection to “Tar: Brenna LAW.” “B."
P. S.—Tbe Young Men’s Christian Association have
no responsibility for this communication. “B." ,
Malena. Entroas:—A gentleman having important
business on the opposite side of the Norwalk river. on
Friday week, arrived at the South Norwalk bridge
just as the draw was swinging open, but after waiting
some minutes until a vessel was warped through, and
then on enquiring why the draw was not closed, was
pointed to a vessel ofl' Gregory's Point. Now, usual-
ly the sail would have been made in avery short time,
but as there was not breeze enough to ripple the wa-
ter, the waiting became very tedious.
Quanta—If the detention of half an hour in this
way had caused‘the gentleman to lose several thousand
dollars. would the bridge tender or the town of N3-
walk be liable for damages 7
The question is asked because the writer heard of
an instance where a Court gave six thousand dollars
damages against a person who needlessly detained on-
other on the highway, so that a train was missed and
that amount of money was lost by the one detained,
in consequence. B. U. S.
W There is a great deal of complaint
about the unnecessary time this draw is kept
open. The public are either unreasonable
or some reform is needed.

Mn sans. Eritrean-You and the people justly com-
plain of this road, and there is probably no one in this
State, having the travel over it this has, in as poor
condition as it is now, and has been the entire year
past But your frequent appeal to have gravel carted
on. to fill the holes, would afford but temporary relief.
The difficulty is that there is no drainage to the road;
it is wide, and perfectly flat, with little or no gutters
the whole length. The constant travel wears places
that retain the water, whenever we have rain; then
every wheel throws out the mud. making these places
deeper, so that now after rains we have a great many
very respectable sized ponds in the road. some about
as large as Mr. Lockwood's, and much the some shape-
If the Superintendent of Highways will begin in front
of his own house, and make a gutter sufllclenttodrain

WHO WILL HAVE INFLUENCE Wrrn GEN.
GRANT ?—There is a great deal of specula-
tion on this subject just now. Some people
think that Mr. E. B. Washburne will control
him; some say that he is in frequent and
confidential correspondence with Mr. A. T.
Stewart, the dry-goods man; 'some say that
Gen. Rawlins is all-powerful with him, and
others that Gen. Badeau wields a wonderful
influence. We have been frequently asked
what we think about the matter,'_and to save
the trouble of further inquiry, we may as
well state our views. On one occasionnvhen
Gen. Grant was riding with us behind Peer-
less, hc quietly remarked: “I should like to
take hold of the reins.” Now, we rather think
Gen. Grant will hold the reins himself the
next four years. He has been elected Presi-
dent, and he will be President. It is true
that he has said that he should only carry
out the will of the people as declared by the
laws of Congress, but then he will carry it
out. We shall have an administration. He
will do his duty, and the men under him will
have to do their duty. Therefore we con-
clude that the most influential man with the
administration fer the next four years will be
UlyssesS. Grant—1t. Y. Ledger.
