TO THE POLLS!
We trust that every Republican voter in .
Connecticut, will feel it the personal duty
of the coming week to urge any lukewarm
neighbor, if such there be, to go to the Polls
early on Monday sort, and execute the high
prerogatives of a Freeman. Let no-Repub-
lican vote be lost by apathy or press of bus- 1
incss. With our full strength polled, a most
GLORIOUS vIc'ronY awaits us in this State.
And it can and must be done. The. eyes of
the whole nation are anxiously turned upon
us. Let not the earnest hopes of all good
patriots be turned to disappointmbnt and
sadness. We can, we ought, and wc‘ must
redeem Connecticut next Monday. We
owe. this duty to ourselves, to President
Grant; to the tens of thousands of loyal
hearts'everywhere, who implore peace and
business prosperity for the 'nation. We owe
it to our patriot dead and the brave boys,
who, on crutch and staff, and with scars
and empty sleeves will crowd about our
ballot boxes next Monday to vote, just 'as
they fought, on the .bloody fields of rebel-
lion. -
Vote early, that you may thus be enabled
to aid your district committees in getting,
out the invalids, the aged and the infirm.
From all parts of the State We hear. the
most encouraging reports. Dixon,‘ and even
Babcock, we are assured; are in. the “slough
of despond” and we are abjured to make
the triumph complete by electing our mem-
ber. This also, we can -and must accom-
plish. ‘ Every man then to the front! To
the Polls! To Victory!
@The new school building in the down.
town district is now nearly completed, and
will be ready for occupancy about the
first of next week. The building‘is large
and commodious and is in every respect
highly creditable to the District. It is
fitted up for three departments, with the
most improved style of school furniture.
The school for the SMmer will be eeadact—

Mr. E. B. Smith, with Miss F. ExBradley

We neither expect or wishto influence the

ments of facts. We do most earnestly en.
treat our naturalized citizens therefore' to
thoughtfully read the letter of Father Car-
ifitiiiy, pastor of the largest Catholic parish
in New Haven. Here is a plain Statement
made by‘one who would not deceive you.
A tender of advice from one who would
, not fog’et his priestly character by any zeal
as a partizau. And what he advcuts to as
the condition of things in New Haven has
its counterparts all over our State and Na-
tion. Which political party is it, that al-
ways arrogantly demands your solid vote ?
which party is it that has year after year,
played into the hands of the 1 English Gov-
ernment and manufacturers by their efforts
for free trade, thus dragging down the
American thee laborer to the degraded con-
dition of starved British operatives. What
party is it that to-day, right here in Con-
necticut, allows itself to be marshalled by
its Fairfield County leader,Wm.D. Bishop,to
present the building of a railroad that would
distribute three million: of dollars among
the laborers ofthis State 1‘ ' 'We simply invite‘
an honest answer to these questions, and
then we simply ask you to vote as sensible,
honest men should rote. . '

“ rnn. Sheridan.”
We are glad to learn that Gen. Woodford,
the people’s favorite _ orator, has been en-
gaged to deliver his new lecture at Lock-
wood’s Hall, on Friday evening, under the
auspices of our local post of the Grand Ar-
my of the Republic. The price of admis-
sion has been put very low, and we trust
our people will turn out on ”mac and give
him a hearty welcome, and by so doing al-
so encourage the G. A. R. in their first
effort to provide a public entertainment.
WE. O. Perrin has been holding forth
to the Stamford democracy, on the general
subject of the Nigger.” It is said that Per-
rin can talk elegantly upon this subject, one
hundred hours consecutively, and sleep half
the time. He has also the faculty of per?
forming the duties of the various responsible
positions to whichthe was considerately ap-
pointed by Andy, draw his several salaries
,regularly cVery month, stump every state in
. the union for the democratic cause, and
.‘practice constantly many minor accbm-
plishments. Politically he can ride a bicycle
on a tight rope and sweep the skins with a
broom. He is daily expected in Nof-walk
on his annual tour of inspection of our fac-
tories, and it is thought will be induced to
favor our people with a few brief remarks
upon the above mentioned subject at public
meeting at N orwalk Hall. Ifhe appears he
will introduce his celebrated feat of sand-
wiéhing irish and darkies,—a feat perform-
ed by him with great success every night for
. the past ten years.
P. S.—Mr. Perrin is announced to speak
at Norwalk Hall, on Saturday evening

@On Thursday morning last our com-
munity was startled by the announcement
that-Mr. Carmi Lockwood had committed
suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. A
coroners jury was impanneled, and the ver-
- diet was returned of “Death by a suicidal
act, committed while laboring under insan-
ity caused by the poison of lead.” Mr.
Lockwood was a well-known citizen, and
formerly a prominent business man in this
village. For several years past he has been
suffering from lead poison introduced into
his system by drinking water which passed
through a lead pipein such a manner as to
become thoroughly poisoned. The effects
of this poison undoubtedly caused the at-
tack of insanity under which he was labor-
ing when this deed was performed.
WIn reply to the communication sign-
ed “South Norwalk” we would say that for
sundry reasons the corporators of the pro-
posed new cemetery have as yet had no
meeting. That the suspicion intimated that
South Norwalk may be left at the “tail end"
is ill founded. We are confident nothing
would give all the corporato'rs. greater joy
than to have our South Norwalk friends take
, hold of the enterprise and push it through,
without the aid of a single man at the Bridge.
We do confidently hope, however, that
very soon we may be able to report some
feasible plan agreed upon to supply the im-
mediate and future wants of Norwalk in this
regard.

SPUNx.—A‘correspondent saw this “do-
sirable virtue” most beautifully illustrated,
on one of our public streets, on Wednesday
morning last. Young America was driving
a yoke of oxen, sitting in the cart, and an
elderly gentlemen was 'riding in a wagon.
As they approached each other the driver
in the cart sang out “Ge,” but the lazy ani-
,malsdid not deviate much to the right, so
that the driver in the wagon concluded he
would not give more 'than half the road.
’As they came abreast they halted, and each
one wanted the other to back out, but spunk
, was up and neither would yield. Six inches
"was about the distance disputed, and either
one could have turned out and allowed the
.. other to pass. Other people came along
and excitement ran' high. Some one sugges-
cd that Auctioneer Mitchell who was near
by should sell .the stock and vehicles to the
highest bidder, but before this plan could be
carried into execution, the elderly gentle-
man, though his opponent had more’than a
fair share of the road, generously concluded
for the sake of peace to back out, which he
did, th’s opening the blockade and reliev-
ing other; gentlemen of annoyance and de-
'tention.

The Want ofOur Times.
Rev. Mr. Woodrufi' is to close the Y. M, C.
A. lectures, on Wednesday evening, by de-
livering a lecture upon the above subject.
This lecture, we understand, has been “revis-
ed, corrected and imprOved,” since its last
delivery at Ely’s Hall, and we anticipate a
rich treat. He labors under a great disad-
vantage in following the erudite and accom-
plished scholar who delivered the preceding
lecture, for he can never lame to equal him
in exquisite richness of style, and rare beau-
.ty and grace of person, but still we have no
hesitation in expressing. our belief that he
will succeed capitally in gaining the atten-
tion and maintaining the interest of the au-
dience in his subject. ‘

We have read of magical numbers, of
their use in incantation, of ‘the wonderful
power they wielded in days gone by. It was
a pleasing deceit and we almost envy those
who had in these numbers implicit belief,
But in this our practical day, oh reader,
we have a magical number. By its influence
we cross the seas, we’dclve deep into the

Mark that man buried inhis books; how
he isolates himself from society; how care-

This Rev. Dr. Carmody of St.~John’s Cath‘}
olic Church at New Haven, hasnaddressed‘
the following letter to the Journal and Gour-
z'er. It is just and sensible and" contains
good advice for men of all parties :—
Mnssns. Enrrons:—I, for one, am well
pleased at the growing dispoaition evident
among my countrymen, to shake off the
trammels of a party which, claiming their
allegiance, through its pretended care of
their interests, uses them merely for purposes
and thus brings upon them the unénviable
and undeserved name of caring more for po-
litical partiz'auship than for the country at
lar e. ' . .
.Emong the latest claimants for the votes
of our adopted citizens, are two men,'one
(Babcock) seekin to represent our district
in the National egislaturc, and the other
(Gallagher) as Mayor, to be at the head of
our municipality. In "a time of bitterness
and strife, passed away, we hope never to
return, the first of these gentlmen, (Bab;
cock,) in the columns of his paper, not only
villified and misrepresented every thing that
was near and dear to us, but ifhe had had
at his command a mob capable of being so
excited, would have hounded them on to
enact here the dredful scenes of murder and
incendiarism that wanted unhappily else-
where; Whilst the other gentleman, claim:
ing to be of our race and creed, has not the
courage or the pluck to attach himself open-
ly to the one or the other; he commenced
political life here at a time when he never,
anticipated that Catholics or adopted citi-
zens, as a polititical power, would amount to
much, Religion should nevcr enter into poli-
tics, and none but dcmagogucs will ever mix
them up together. We hope the time is
coming, when the best men, irrespective of
creed or party, will} be entrusted with the 1
charge of our pnblic'all'airs; but the clique
that has nominated such men as thesc,pays,
to say the least of it, a sorry compliment to
the intelligence or manliness of our adopted
citizens. I rejoice, then that every year our
adopted citizens are more and more, separa-
ting themselves from a party which almost.
claims the exclusive right to their political
support. We love, God knows how ardent-
ly, this country; its grand old flag is the
only one which ever yet received the full al-
legiance of our hearts; but we do, not, of
course, and cannot, love it more dc'votedly
than Americans themselves; and Whilst they
are Republic'an's or Democrats, as to them
seems fit, is it not an absurdity for any party
in particular to claim to be the one par creel-I.
Zones, of loyalty or patriotism? We presume.
not to suggest to any one how he shall vote;
every citizen, adopted or native born,
has the right, which we claim, to think or
.act for himself; but if to put forward, for the
political support of our native born citizens,
men who for years were calumniating and
dcfaming everything that was dear to them
would be an' outrage and insult, is it not
equally an unwarrantable audacityto ask our
adopted citizens to role into ofice men who were
our enemies when enmity to us was popular
and who are noeaforsooth ourfirz'endepither be-
cause to appear such is for their interest, or be-
cause the party with whom they acted will 'no
longer rccez‘oe them!

James Harper, senior-member of the
great publishing house of Harper «is Broth-
ers, and an ex-mayor of New York, died on
Sunday. The Sun says :
“He learned the art of printing in New-
York, beginning at the age of 16, and on
attaining to his majority, With his brothers
entered upon 'the'business in which the firm
subsequently made a world-wide reputation.
Thebrothers set their own types and work-
ed their own presses,in‘ their earlier days; but
in after years their increasing business for-
bade their ivin attention to its details. In
October, 1 3, e Harpers’ buildings, nine
in_ number, were burned to the ground, and
Mr. Harper havinfilllieen asked the next
morning how much e firm intended to pay
their creditoss, replied, “One hundred cents
on the dollar.” They paid dollar for dollar,
and then erected the magnificent fire-proof
buildings which they now occupy. _ Nobody
dreamed of the vastness of their resources
until losing $1,000,000 in one fire, they ask-_
‘ed no aid, and immediately erected a million
dollar printing and publishing , establish-
ment." Mr. Harper retired from active busi-
ness about ten years ago, and was known as
one of the best of our solid citizens."

of"newly discovered Silver Mincs’ in that
State, but we have received no definite in-
formation of their location or value until
quite recently. All winter long adventur-
ers of all classes have been flocking to the
place in great numbers,notwithstanding the
cold climate, difficulties of travelling over
the mountains, &c. Much suffering must
ensue for all cannot get rich, and the. cost of
living is very high. '
The region is known as the White Pine
district and is situated inthe heart of N eva-
do, remote from civilization ; it rises fi'Om
six thousand to eleven thousand‘feet above
the level of the sea. “All the accounts we
receive of the district well warrant the be-
lief that nothing so rich as the White Pine
Silver Mines has ever been found on‘the
globe. For hundreds of years the flow of
silver coin has been setting in one steady
current from the western nations to China.
with no retiring ebb, until the Celestial Em-
.pirc has become one vast storehouse of sil-
ver guilders, florins, thalers, caroluses and
pistarcens. It would seem as if, ages before
commerce had begun piling up the world’s
treasure at the world’s end, Nature had se-
lected the mountains of Nevada for her dc-
pository of pure metal, and there certainly
it lies in one great precious mass to stimu-
late the cnterprise and tempt the cupidity of
man.”
The report of R. W. Raymond on the
“Mineral Resources of the States and Ter-
ritories,” made to the Secretary and just
printed, gives us some most interesting facts
and figures concerning the region. There
are many mines in operation ‘ there, more
titan fifty mining companies havingbecn or-
ganized in San Francisco alone are working
them, and of every one the story reads like
a fairy tale. Discovered only eighteen
months ago, the light has as yet-hardly bro-
ken in upon the richest veins. In the Key-
stone Mine, for instance, a mere lad, John
struck his pick into what seemed to be a bed
of putty, but. what proved to be pure chlo-
ride of silver, worth from $15,000 to $25,000
a ton! Even the correct and sober- style of
Mr. Raymond, writing officially and prosa-
ically to the Secretary of the Treasury,
breaks out into a certain luminous poetry
as he enters the cave. of Aladdin, otherwise
known as the Ehcrhardt Mine. “Descend-
ingthc shaft on a rope,” he says, “we found
ourselves among men engaged in breaking
down silver by the ton. The light of our
candles disclosed great'black sparkling mas—
ses of silver ore on every side. The walls
the very dust which filled our lungs and
covered our boots and clothing was a great
coating of fine silver.”
_ Shanty ‘cities, in the western style, are
springing up as if by magic. A weekly pa-
per, about ou‘e-ihird the size of the Gazette,
printed,'has a large quantity of local adver-
tisements, news items, &c., and is published
at the low price of ten dollars per year, or
twenty-five cents each number. We are in-
debted to Mr. A. C. Dish for a copy of the
issue of Feb. 13, from which we make the
following extracts : '
on the flat or depression just north of Chlor-
ide Flat, made a few days since, we paid it
a visit. > The discovery appears to have been
made by sinking at a venture, there being
nothing on the surface to indicate the pres-
ence of mineral, and at a depth of about
four feet a body of ore was cut that created
no small stir among the residents of this
city, the news ofwhich spread with a rapid-
ity almost incredible. The owners call it
was full of life around and about this new
attraction, and we noticed no less than thir-
ty new circavations, with men at work on
every one, nestled in close around with the
C. & D. the center of attraction, and all
something every minute. It presented a
striking appearance of a prairie-dog town,
though in this instance the holes were much
{kicker—many scarely having room to
row their dirt. The extent of this. body
of ore is not yet known, and as to how rich
the ore may e we are also in ignorance, as
no assays of its ore have, yet been made-
that beino' deemed unnecessary. The body
of ore fills the bottom of. the shaft—all one
solid mass of chloride—and the owners ap-
pear to be satisfied with what the have in
sight. We also visited several 0 der loca-
tions in the immediate vicinity, among
which the Noonda , Zubrick and J ewett
were prominent. ‘he Noonday is a huge
ledge, and has many tons in sight—most all
of good quality. .This mine ‘is worked
through a tunnel. 'The Zubrick we' merely
glanced at but saw any amount of good ore
on its dump, as also at the J ewctt, where we
stopped for a few minutes. This locality
presents a lchly appearance, and it stands
one in hand to be on the lookout for blasts
are set off every few minutes.
Business has been exceedingly lively- this
freight of every description. Men were
rushing around with bundles of documents
in their hands, and by. the appearance of
.ngs a stranger would come to the conclu-
sion that the whole State of Nevada was to
be transferred. The real estate transactions
especially, have been very numerous, and
lots are bringing very- high prices, one of
which, on the corner of Main and Treasure
streets, 86% feet front by 100 in
depth, was disposed of for $5,000, and we
venture to say the purchaser would not take
fifty per cent. advance on the cost.
be members of the legal fraternity begin
to make their appearance here in great num-
bers, and the chances are we will have
thin s done in a legal way.
ells, Fargo 6: Co are now stocking the
road between Hamilton and Elke, for the

next week, after which we will have some
liVely staging, better time, and doubtless
cheaper fare. - .

nineteen hundredrdollars, left this week by

We were shown a bar of bullion from the
Galena mine, which was obtained by’ smelt-

——Thre_e card montc is a very pretty game
and one that is very fashionable just now,
on the New York and New Haven Railroad.
We had occasion to allude to this fact a few
days ago, and it seems that the game has
been flourishinv since, in spite of the worn-
ing we gave. tWe understand that one _of
our Bridgeport merchants got interested in
the game, coming up onthe train night be-
fore last, and made a permanent investment
of about $100 in the business. He was so
sure that he knew which was the picture
card, that nothing short of that amount of
money would answer to emphasize his cer-
tainty. He did not feel so sure subsequent-
ly. A friend and tenant of our merchant,
who was up to the game, sat in the same
seat, and saw the ‘thing quietly through,
Without saying a word. Somebody asked
him afterwards why he (lid not warn his
friend, “Warn him ‘2” said he, “I wasn’t go-
ing to warn him. He raised my rent two hun-

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pilié will cure Con-
sumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken
according to directlons.‘ They are all three to be ta-
ken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach. re-
lax the hver and put it to work; then the appetite
becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis-
eased matte-rripens in the lungs, and the patient out-
grows the disease and gets well. This Is the only
way to cure consumption. '
To these three medicines Dr. J. II. Schcnck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treat-
ment of pulmonary Consumption. The l’ulmonic
svrnp ripens the monbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight conga will throw it
011', and the patient has rest and the lungs begin to
heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to closes the stomach and liver,
so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the food. will make
good blood. ' '
Schcnck’s Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re-
movmg all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gall
bladder, the bile starts il'ccly;and the liver is soon rc-
hcved; the stools will show what. the Pills can do:
nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
deadly person which is very dangerous to use unless
with great care,)that will ufilock the gallbladder and
start the secretions of the liver like Schenck’s Man-
drake Pills. ' ’
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption. _
Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and
alternative. and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation IS made 01‘, assists the stomach to throw
out the gastricmice to dissolve the food with the Pul-
momc Syrup, and it is made into good blood without
fermentation or scoring in the stomach. .
The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-
sumption is, they try to do too much; they give med-
icine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night
will—“q hectic fever, and by so doing they derange
the whole digestive powers, locking up the secretions
and eventually the patient sinks and uies.
Dr, Schcnck, lll his treatment, does not try to stop
the cough, nightsweats, chills or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will all stop of thelrown accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsm, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un-
less the liver and stomach are made healthy.
Ifa person hascousumption, ofcourse the lungs in
some way_ are diseased, either tubercles, abscesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura, adhesion, or the lungs
are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. In
such cases what must be done. It is not only the lungs
that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out 01 food. Now the only chance is to take
Dr. Schenck’s three medicines, which will bring up a
tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to 'want
food, it Will digest easily and make good blood; then
the patient begins to gain in flesh, and ,as soon as the
body begins to grow, the lungs commence to‘ heal up,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the only
way to cure consumption. '
'then there is no lung disease and only Liver Com-
p.aint and DyspePsia, Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are sufficient, Without the Pnlmonic
Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bil-
ions complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
_ Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and now weighs 225 pounds,
was wasted away too. mere skeleton, in the very last
stage of Pnlmonary Consumption, his physicians pro-
nounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his
fate. Hewas cured bv the aforesaid, medicines, and
since his recovery many thousands similnry atiiicted
have used Dr. Schenck’s reparations with the same
remarkable success. Fu 1 directions accompany each
making it not absolutely necessary to personally see
