Tuesday, Nov. 16, 1869.
.. . Thanksgiving Day.
This more than time-honored anniversary
occurs on Thursday next. From a plain,
social, family festival, peculiar to New Eng-
land, it has grown to be a national' institu-
tion observed and revered wherever the
folds of the “dear old flag" cast their liberty
in's'piring shadows. , 0n land and on ocean,
the day will awiiken fond memories of home,
childhood, and kindred, dear to the heart.
It is well, that we as a nation and as ludi-
viduals, should have such a joyous. resting
place on life’s highway—whereon we so
madly drive. The eager, constant, all-ah-
sorbing application to business and rush
after wealth is peculiarly American, and
no day of the whole year is so rich to us 1
its restoration of the better qualities of our,
earthly natures. Long may the .day 0911'
tinue to be Observed, with ever-increasing
devotion to home and the social virtues and
afi‘ections of the fireside. Long may the
beneficcnt Father of us all, give the nation
and the individual people thereof, hearts of
devout gratitude for his manifold blessmgs
of free-government, healthful and fruitful
seasons, business prosperity, and enlarge our
human sympathies and affections. - .
Let the wanderer return onthis auspicious
day to the home of hischildhood. Let every
child of the good Father evince it becoming
gratitude by contributing of his good cheer
to the destitute and sorrowing. So shall we,
indeed, enjoy our eagerly awaited . Thanks-
giving. . .

Death of s. W. Benedict.
The brief intimation which we gave last
week has proved to be a true prophecy, and
we are now called upon to record the fatgl
~ termination of the illness which we an-
nounced.
SETH WrLLisTON BENEDICT,-—as the His-
tory of Norwalk, by Rev. Edwin Hall, D.D.
states—entered the office of the NORWALK
GAZETTE, then just established in his native
town, (in 1818,) at the age of fifteen, to learn
the art and mystery of printing. Four
years after (1822, whcnhe was only nineteen
years of age,) he purchased the paper and
continued topublishdt-until Jan. Ist, 1833
Meet and proper, therefore, is it that; we
pay this tribute to his memory, in ‘ the . Col- .
umns which he so. long marshall‘ed ; but
not for this reason only. Mr. Benedict, in-
deed, deserves ‘well of the profession of
which he was so long an honored and use-
fuL member, as publisher of the GAzETTE
- _ for ten years, of the N.. Y. anngelist, for
tour years, and of the Independent in its in-
fancy, as also, we believe of . the Emancipa-
tor, or some other anti-slavery paper. But
he had othrr and higher claims to honoring
and loving remembrance. - .- ' '
He was born at N orwalk, Nov. 16th, 1808,
sixty-six years ago to-day. He traced his
lineage back for ten generations ‘to William
Benedict, (of’Nottingham, England, about
the year 1500,) whose great grandson Thom-
as Benedict, born in England in1617, came
to this country in 1638, and to 'Norwalk in
1665, and was chosen Town-clerk ' and . Se-
lectman in‘ 1666, which ofliee he held fOr
several years. r . ,
. It would be interesting to follow down the
course of his descendants, iftime permitted.
The subject of our sketch united with :the
First Congregational Church in Norwalk,
Sept. lst, 1816, before he was thirteen years
of age, and was ever. an active, consistent,
and useful member until he moved to New
Yorkin 1833. His pastor, Rev. Dr. Thomp-
son of the Broadway Tabernacle, in the
very admirable and appropriate address-
which he delivered at .his funeral on the
12th inst, stated that he had known him in-'
,timately for twentyefive years; and that he
was justly described in Paul’s portraiture
of a true Christian, f‘Not. slothful in busi-
ness, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”
.. He was stricken, most suddenly, by para~
lysis, on Sunday, the 7th inst, on his return
ft'om the Sanctuary and the Communion of
the Lord’s Supper which services he had
greatly enjoyed ; and lingered, without giv—
ing evidence of consciousness, until the 10th
when he gently passed away leavinghis
companion and a large circle of children,
grand-children, and other friends most sore-
ly berating. _
“We wis we could-reproduce the beauti-
ful,just, and truthful picture of our friend
and brother, thatwas drawn by his pastor,
and the tender. and excellent prayer of the
'Rev. Dr. Rogers,_pastor of his son-in-law Mr
. LeGrand Lockwood. His funeral was at-
tended by alarge concourse of those who
knew and loved him in New York ; and
when his body was brought to his
native town, a most respectable retinue fol-
lowed him to the , grave in the lot of Mr.
Lockwood in. the Cemetery on Union Ave.‘
Most unexpectedly has he been cut Off, but
his preparation was timely and full. May
all heed the warning, “Be ye also ready!”
We tender our condolence to his friends.

A GOOD BEGINNING—Our new Borough
officers are making a new beginning. ' Our
streets are being daily swept of garbage, and
a sort of general brushing up inaugurated.

done, and we shall be saved bills of costs

neglect hitherto is not only disgraceful, but
has made our town liable for legal damages.

SOCIAL—A. H. Byington, of Norwalk is
the happy possessor of a new house hand-

which the friends of Mr. arid Mrs. Byington
were delightfully entertained o_u Monday
evening, on the thntleth anniversary of
their marriage. A large. collection of valua-
ble gifts bore substantial evrdence of the
good will of many friends. During the eve-
ning an appropriate poem, full of sentiment
written by Dr. Asa Hill, ofNor-
beaut ,
Slit, wasyread by Rev. Joseph Anderson,
of Waterbury, — formerly of Norwalk.
Among the guests were Gov. Jewell, ev-Gov
Hawley, Senatoro. S. Ferry and Prof. Cy-
rus Northrop. None to see the rosy checks
of our esteemed—and may we -s_ay venera-
ble ?—friend Byington, would think he had
been married so long. Domestic sunshine
uiust have ever warmed and lighted his
home, that he should be so well preserved.

We. can only add, that our greeting were
so numerous, hearty and substantial that
we are at loss how suitably to express our
own and partners sense (f obligation and
gratitude. We deem it no idle compliment
to be thus cordially remembered by friends
and neighbors, and we can only return
their showers of good wishes, by reverently
invoking Heaven’s choicest blessings upon
one and all who spent the few social hours
at our “Wren’s Nest" on Monday evening,
last.
The following impromptu versification,
contributed by Dr. Hill and beautifully read
by Rev.Mr.Anderson, of Waterbury, though
a complete surprise, vibrated every chord of
tender memory, stretching back through the
twenty years :
A. H. BYINGTON TO HIS WIFE,
. .0)! THE—-
201]: Annlveriary ofthelr' Weddlng Dny
Come hither dear wife, I would bless thee to-night,
And crown thee my Queen, with the utmost delight.
O’er the realm of my heart thy sweet «who shall be,
And the bliss of my life in its union with thee.
For I feel all the freshness of joy, and of pride.
That I felt at the first, when 1 called thee My Bride.
And hers, in this presence, I gravely renew
The vow, and the covenant, once made with you.
Does it seem to you, “ Hat.” that oui‘ sweet wedding
day, .
Stretches full twenty years, in the distance away 'l
’Tis but twenty short years, by the measure of time,
But a hundred long years, by events, most sublime 5
For the years are all crowded, and pressed, as you
know. - '
With most marvelous things, as they come, and they
go.
Thus, in one score ofyears, we are nowlivinglonger—
We are doing more work, and are doing it stronger—
Than our Fathers could do, in their heavy four-score,
In their methods of living, the long days of yore.
And “Hat,” do you note, as the moment sgo by,
Where once they could linger, they now seem to fly '2
Do you call up‘ to mind What the past years have
brought us ? .
Do you think of the lessons the past years have taught
us ‘2 -
Were the years of the past, with their trials. dear wife,
The best, and the sweetest, of our wedded‘e ?
Nol richer, and sweeter, and dearer to me,
Are the years, as Ijourney still onward with thee.
But then, dearest “ Hat.,” we were young, I well
know,
And nimble of foot, both to come, and to go—
Your movements were agile, your eyes were so bright,
And they seem now, dear Hattie, to sparkle to-nighf,
With a flash, ants. twinkle, that speak of delight.
Even now, since the years roll so swiftly away,
With my locks growing scanty, and turning so gray,
Yet my heart is as young—(so it seemeth to me)—
As the day, Hattie dear, when I first wedded thee.
But I do not forget that in twenty long years,
We have passed through affliction and scattered some
tears ; ‘
Yet the weight of our trouble, and grief, and all that,
Have been far-over-bOi-ne by our blessings, dear
u ant."
With the years that have passed, many changes have;
come,
And we note them til-night. in our beautiful home,
Where a host of warm friends, with delight, we are
‘ineeting,
Andcheering our hearts with their kindliest greeting.
And here, ’mid the light and the blaze of our joy,
Standing close by your side, is our dear eldest Boy;
And next to him there, as the fruit of these years,
Two others I see, through the mist of my tears.
And of such noble Boys, ’tis their joy and their pride,
To call her their mother, whom I call my Bride.
Nor can we, dear Hattie, this evening forget,
That the grave holds in trust still another one yet.
. With a tremuious voice, and a soft bated breath,
I You will know what I mean when I speak of her death
But thlsjoy. and this hope, to our hearts hath been
given,
That our dear little daughter is dwelling in heaven.
And here, all around us, our kindred We see,
’Complaissntly smiling on you and on me;
Here Father, and Mother, and Sisters so dear,
Are gathered this evening, our spirits to cheer.
In the on’comiug time, when our labours are past
And ourjonrney is ended, may we at the last
Hold a blessed re-iinion, where sorrow and pain
Shall never more flit; o’er our spirits again.
Come hither dear wife, I would bless thee once more,
And crown thee with love, as l crowned thee before.
May blessings un—numbered still wait upon thee,
And our lives blend together in sweet harmony.

W The great Vanderbilt bronze, at the

was unveiled last week, attractingmuch at-
tention.
There is an interesting andinsrttjtuctive les-
son to be learned from the resultgof the re-
cent New fork State election, which should
not be lost upon Connedlicut. ' ‘ "
Whether true or not, the feeling became
well-nigh universal among intelligent Re-
publicans throughout that State, that their
party leaders, and especially many of their
members of the legislature, were fast beconii
ing nearly as corrupt and Ivenal as their Op-
ponents; that in very many cases of city
“ rings" and railroad schemes the only reas-
on Why certain Republican members were
not as corrupt as their adversaries, was sim-
ply OWing to their want of experience, and
not. from any lack of a predisposition to
scoundrelism. This feeling, we repeat, had
become so wide-spread that Outside of the
city of New York, Republicans gave them-
selves up to apathy and inaction. Indeed,
they preferred, if things were to go on in the
manner they had done during the last two
sessions at Albany, that the democrats
should have allthe responsibility and credit
of the disgraceful enactments there made,
and so voluntarily surrendered their State
to the enemy. This action was not only ulf-
wise, but unjust to their friends elsewhere,
and damaging to the Republican cause eve-
rywhere else. ’Yet human nature is a curi-
ous combination of oddities and inconsisten-
cies, and exceedingly. difficult to manage
when once started off in an adverse direc-
tion. The instance now under considera-
tion is full of potent instruction to us of this
State, if we will only heed it and profit by
the results in New York. Similar causes
are pretty sure to produce similar effects ev-
erywhere, and our party fi'iends in other
parts of our State have little idea of the
struggles we have had in this section in con-
sequence of the action of our legislatureand
of many of our prominent and representa-
tive Republican leaders. .
The people of this county have vainly
been striving for years to relieve them-
selves from a monopoly which has render ed
itself conspicuously oppressive and obnox-
ious. These efforts have been made irre-
spective of party, or rather have risen
above all party considerations. Yet the
Legislatures of our State, which have so oft-
en baflied the wishes of our people, have alv
ways been Republican, softhat a bitter feel-
ing of discouragement and resentment has
grown up‘in this county which is steadily
diminishing our old majorities, and which
cannot be much longer restrained either by
the councils or entreatie's of more consider-
ate Republicans. Our difficulties in this
particular, have ' been rendered still more
vexatious and embarassing by the circum-
stance that the unlimitcd mouicd resources
of our oppressors have always enabled
them to “ etain” our mostconspicuous par-
ty leaders, who of course cannot be expect-
ed to forego profitable business engagements
for the promotior of merely political ends.
erto earnest Republican workers, are ster-
reotype and thretrdbark‘There’s no use
striving to secure our party in power, they
always go back on us.” ‘fWhat’s the use
striving to elect a ' Republican Legislature,
they sell out just as quick as the Democrats
do and don’t know enough to get half as
much for it.” “Let‘s try a Copperhead
Legislature and see if they won’t treat us
better.” etc., 610. ‘ ‘ _
We would utter no idle and mischievous
note of alarm. But we must assure our
friends elsewhere in the'State, with all grav-
ity, that this county cannot be relied upon
to retain its party vote, either, in the gener-
al elections or the legislature, if something
be not done to disabusc our working Repub-
licans of the prevailing conviction, that as
much or a little more, may ’ be hoped for
from a Democratic triumph, than in our
continued Republican ascendency in this
State.

Autobiography of John B. Cough.
. An agent is now in town canvassing for
this work, which has engaged all theieisurc
hours of the popular orator for years past.
No work Of modern time has had so large
a‘ subscription, it being eagerly taken at
nearly every house, where canvassers have
been able to call. There are few places
where Mr. Gough is more intimately and
favorably known than here in Norwalk,
and we should be sadly mistaken if several
hundred volumes are not subscribed 'for
here. .
The Rev. Geo. I. Gould, of the Center
church, Hartford, has written the following
unsolicited'rccommendation of the’book.
HARTFORD, Oct. 26th, 1869.
DEAR SIR :——I take great pleasure in com-
mending the forthcoming “AutObiography”
oer. John B. Gough (most of which I had
the pleasure of listening toin manuscript the
past summer) as a most faithful and thril-
ling life portaiture of one Of the noblest and
truest men of this generation.
I venture to say that no more living book
was ever published; and it carries in every
line the unmistakable marks of Mr. Gough s
unlimitable genius and ‘power. While of
course its touches of humor and pathos are
unmatched, at the same time its lessons of
sober wisdom, its high moral tone, its elo-
quent warnings to young men, and its per-
vasive Christian earnestness make it a book
I am confident, that will both profit and
charm all who shall read it.
I am, Yours Truly,
G. H. GOULD.

Death of Beacon. Wakemnn

The very sudden death of this good man
was very briefly announced under our leap-
tion of Wilton news, last week. On the 2d
inst.,.While engaged at‘ hisworklin‘ the field,
he fell dead: His age was 70 years. Dea-
con Hubbell was a man. of more than ordi-
nary strength of mind, especially of memo-
ry. He read and thought much, and was
able to express his views'wclh' He will be
greatly missed in the public meeting as ‘well
as in the domestic circle; and the sick, aged
and infirm will feel their 105s of his frequent
visits and ministrations of Christian sympa-
thy and consolation. He appreciated high-
ly the advantages of education and took
great pains to confer them upon his chil-
dren.‘ Two of his sons are «graduates of
Yale College, and Ministers of the Gospel,
filling important spheres of influence}
He had been a member of the Congrega-
tional Church, in Wilton, forty-seven years,
a deacon for seven years, and for a long
time was Superintendent of the Sunday
School. His funeral was attended by a
large concourse of people, who felt that a
good man had been taken away from them.
@We would commend the following,
from the New Haven Palladium, tothe con-
sideration of our own townspeople, as it is
as applicable in its general principles here
as there :— _ I
g “A ‘New Havcner’ wrote to the Palladium
the other day that ‘he was told in Hartford
that a large number of our wealthy citizens
are accustomed to do almost all their shop-
ping in that city.’ This assertion has called
chants; in which he says, ‘Goods are sold as
cheap in New Haven, for corresponding
qualities, as in any. other place. New Ha-
ven has the reputation among Boston and
New York merchants of using better grades
of goods than any other city in New Eng-
land. There are, to be sure, some slop-shop
concerns even here, but it will be found that
in no place in the country are the same
qualities of goods sold at anyless prices
than at the stores of'our first-class mer-
chants.’
“If this be so, and we have no reason to
doubt it,'why is it that our people run away
so much to do their trading ?. That they
do is a well known fact, and one to which
we have Ofien alluded. ’ New Haven peo-
ple show a great deal ofjustifiable local
pride in their city in certain directions, but
there is too much depreciation of the mer-
cantile advantage of our city, too much of
a half contempt for home productions, and
a feeling that what they buy in New Haven
isn’t as good as that which c'omes out ,Of
town. Hence they go to New York, to
Hartfdrd and other places t4; spend money
which ought to be expended at home. Es-
peciglly what comes from New York is all
right, in their estimation, and there is not
probably a day passes but that articles are
purchased in New York and brought here,‘
which could have been bought on equally
advantageous and perhaps better terms at
home. As an instance, a gentleman stepped
into one of our Chapel street stores a few
days. since, and with a satisfied air displayed
to the proprietor an article which he had
just bought in New York. The following
conversation ensued: (Satisfied Buyer.)
‘There is a handsome thing, and I got it 'at
a bargain, toe.’ (Chapel Street Merchant.)
‘Yes, it is a fine thing. If it isn’t imperti
nenthould like to ask how much you
gave for it i” (S. B.)"Twel've dollars, isn’t
that cheap?’ (C. S. M.) ‘Not very.’ (S. B.)
‘Did you ever keep anything like that l” (C.
S. M.) ‘Oh, yes, we’ve got the same thing ;-
I’ll show you.’ (S. B; leaking.) . ‘Same
thing, isn’t it i" (C. S. M.) ‘Same thing’
(S. B.) timidly.) ‘What _is the price i” (C.
S. M.) pleasantly) ‘Seven dollars.’ Our sat-
isfied friend could hardly believe it until he
was shown the price plainly market! on the
goods, and went away feeling less satisfied
at having found out that he had paid just
five dollars for the privilege of buying an
article in New York and taking the trouble
to bring it home. People are doubtless
paying for the same privilege every day,
though their transactions don’t always crime
to light so quickly. Wouldn’ it be well to
learn to ‘look at home’ a little more i”

’Admiral of the United States N avy,
out a communication from one of our mer- .
Death or Admiral Charles ssewu _‘ .
The venerable Charles Stewart-3,, sélirior
dié'df on
Sunday at his residence near BOTdento'yvn,
New Jersey, in the ninety-third"year Ofllis
age.
Admiral'Stewart was born in Philadel-
phia in 1778, and entered the navy at the
age of tWOnty, serving first under Commo-
v'do‘re Harry, in ‘-the frigate United States.
This vessel was emplOyed for two years
against the 'French privatcers in the West
Indies, and young Stewart ,5 did such good
service in ‘tllis,.his maiden cruise, that in
1800 he‘was appointed to command the Ex-
periment,- a -' twelve-gun schooner, cruising
on the ’same station. With this vessel he
fought and captured successfully the French
schooner Deaux Amis,,of eight guns, and
the Diana, .of fourteen guns, besides retaking
a number of American vessels from the
French corsairs. _ , ‘ 5
In 1801 Stewart was appointed first lieu-
tenant of the fi-igate Constellation, then en-
gaged in blockading Tripoli, and from he,
was transferred to the command of the brig
Siren, also of the Tripoli squadron, with
which vessel he helped to bombard that
stronghold of piracy, and received the spe-
cial thanks of Commodore Preble for his
efficient and gallant services. He‘ was soon
after promoted to the rank of commander,
and returned home in command of the Con-
stellation.
In 1806 he was made a captain, and upon
the breaking out of the war with England
was one of the few Ofiicers who urged an of-
fensive naval warfare against the mother
country. The government finally yielded
to his representations and those of Captain
Bainbridge, and in 1813 gave Captain Stew-
art command of the frigate Constitution, af-
terwards gloriously known as “ Old Iron-
sides ; " a. sobriquet often applied equally
and ‘with equal honor, to the captain him-
self. ‘
During his first and second cruises in the
Constitution, Captain Stewart captured the
British schooner" iPictOu, of fourteen» guns;
the British ship Cysne,._"o,f thirty-four guns
and one hundred and eighty-five. men; and
the British ship-cf-war Levant, of twenty-
one guns and one hundredia’nd fiftysix ‘inen.
The two latter vessels he fought'at one time,
and made them both strike their colors after
an action of’forty minutes. - The Cyane was
afterwards recaptured by a Britishsquadron ,
which, in order to effect it, violated theneu-
trality law's of Port Praya, where Captain
Stewart , was lying "with his prizes. , For
these services a gold medal was voted to
Captain Stewart by Congress,and silver'ones
to all his commissioned officers.‘ A special
vote of thanks to ofiicers and crew was also
passed. Pennsylvania at the same lime pre-
sented her hero with a _spleudid sword.X . .
From 1816 to .1820 CbrilmOdoré Stewart
commanded a squadron. in~- the Mediterra-
nean, and in 1821 hoisted his commodore’s
flag in the Pscific,' where he remained for
three years. _ His latter services were chiefly
of the Home Squadron, and {of the naval
station at Philadelphia. He also rendered
important aid in reorganizing the navy.
In 1857 he was placed on the retired list
on account of his age, the law of limitation
. being peremptory, hittin'March,"1851l,“a new
commission. was instituted specially for his
benefit, and he was restored to the active
list ,as senior flag-officer, serving in that ca-
pacity until 1861, when years and wounds
caused him to retire from active.» life .and
from-that time till the period of his death
he has lived in an honored and. honorable
seclusion upon his country estate near Bor-
identown.—Eoening Post.
