Thanksgiving Day.
' Everybody seemed well fed, happy and
jolly, if not thankful, on Thursday last. The
terrible rain of {he day before gave way. to
balmy sunshine. The Nelly White was.
cheated out of her last crowded trip, up,
but the largest single train (3f 22 passenger
cars went over the New Haven road under
the safe conductorship of Joe Franklin, and
while all New England enjoyed a surfeit of
visitors, as well as of Turkey and Cranber-
ry Sauce, Gotham experienced an unusual
1exodus. In flue, we are sure, “the day we
celebrate” was more generally, rationally
and enjoyably observed than any of its pre-
decessors. .

HARLEM RIVER AND PonTans'rEn RAIL-

thentic source that the entire interest of
LeGrand Lockwooddt 00., in the Harlem

connected with the New York dc New Ha-
ven Railroad—Mango.
WW8 cannot vouch for either the truth
or falsity of the above report which has
‘ been running the rounds of the- New York
press for a week past. If it is true it shows
how much sincerity there was in the denia-
iOn indulged in concerning this enterprise,
by Attorney Bishop before our Legislative
committee. Ifsecured and is ever construc-
ted by the New Haven Company, it will al-
so prov! one of the smartest business ope-
rations that much wronged corporation of
stockholders have ever been treated to. It
will also show the-public that the New Ha-
ven road is not the slave of Vanderbilt, and
compelled by him to roll over his Harlem
track to the peril of the lives aiid limbs of
its passengers. We shall see what we
shall see.‘
Our Bor'ougls.
We really begin to think that our new
Borough is to amount to something. Al-
ready we have unmistakable evidence of
vitality. Our streets are cleaned of gar-
bage; the crossings are kept fiee of mud,
and most astounding of all, for the first
time during our remembrance, the line of
walk from Prowitt’s Drug Store to the new
Bank was free from Sunday loafers during.
the hours of passing to and from church.
We never saw the walks so free from the
hitherto needless and vexatious obstruction
. as on Saturday evening. Chief Bartram
'walked quietly over the beat and the pro-
fessional “ beats” as quietly and civilly
moved along. After all, our Norwalk loaf-
era are a. sort of good-natured, good-for-
nothing set of fellows without any special
malice in their hearts, and it only requires a
very little authority sensibly administered,
to rid ourselves of a nuisance that has so
long been borne and always seemed unbear-
able. .
We are confident it long-suffering commu-
nity of tax-payer will rejoice at these
gratifying manifestations of wise public-
spiritcdness. Our citizens are willing to
pay taxes if they can only see the money
put to any gooduses. Now let ushave some
drainage before Winter Dre-vents.

PAss Hm Ammo—In October, Anoosr
HUBER gave 9. Concert in Lockwood’s Hall. ‘
Knowing him to be located in Bridgeport,
where he held a position as organist in one
of the churches, gave music lessons, &c.,
we supposed him responsible and did his
printing without requiring advance pay.
The Concert, which was given in opposition
to our advice, was nota pecuniary success,
and Mr. Huber, after promising to call at
our ofiice, departed from town without do-
ing so, and without even intimating a desire.
for us to wait until some 'more convenient
time for him to settle. We piit the account
into an ficer’s hands for? collection, but
have not yet received a single cent. As he
is giving Concerts in other places, as he did
here,‘ “ for the sake of making acquaint-
ances," we give him this lift for nothing, for
the benefit of brother printers.

TEAcmins‘ Maximo—A meeting of the
teachers of Norwalk, and,all others inter-
ested in schools and the best methods of
instruction, has been appointed for next
Monday evening, Nov. 29th, at the Center
School building. The design is to perfects
permanent organization and to hold semi-
monthly meetings for the purpose of obtain-
ing each othtu’s views as to the best meth-
ods of conducting school and for discussing
subjects which may arise in connection with
teaching. This enterprise must commend
itself to all, and it is hoped that there will
be a large attendance, not only of all the
teachers in town and these who expect to
peach, but all interested in the success of our
schools and the progress of education in our
midst are cordially invited.

these assemblages. At night, also, the

have the police uniformed in metropolitan

E‘Buckley’s Serenaders gave an excel-
lent minstrel entertainment, at Norwalk
Hall, last Wednesdayevening Buckley was
a host in himself, and was assisted by seve-
ral good actors, showing talent generally
very scarce in this profession. The acting
and singing in the opera of Lucrezia Borgia
was especially good, and the prima donne,
strange to say, was a real woman, and a
strong acquisition to the troupe. The at.
tendence was not so large ag we often see
at similar concerts, but was of better char-
acter than usual, and quite orderly.

The Independent of last week had a no--
tice of its first publisher, probably from the
pen of the Rev. Joshua Leavitt, D. D., who
was early and long his associate in the
Evangelist, the American Anti Slavery Or-
guns, and _thc Independent. Among other
things he says: “He was early distinguished
for his intelligent energy in business, aiid
raised'the NonwsLx GAZETTE to a very _in-
fluential position." * * “His untiring
energy, his wise counsels, his carncst c011-
victions, his courageous enterprise contribu-
ted largely to the success and mflucnc:
which the New York Emugelisl sequined.
* * “His interest in the cause of revivals
and in the temperance cause were uniform-
ly discreet and conscientious at all times.
His personal interest in his church relations
and his faithfulness in all religious duties
were uniform through life.” * * In 1848
he took a leading'part in the arrangements
for establishing the Independent, and -tO his.
wisdom and counsel, and his perseverance
and energy, its initial success was largely
due. He acted for several years as publish-
River and Portchester Railrosd, forming a ;01‘ 01' the Paper, until a destructive fire drove
him out of the printing business, in which
he had spent his laborious and useful life.
To the multitude of men with whom. he
was brought in contact, in all his various
pursuits and enterprises, the news of his
sudden removal will bring a sense of sad-
ness, as at the loss of a trusted and faithful
friend. His memory is a precious legacy to
his family, so suddenly bereaved of their
honored head.”
The New York Evangelist has an extend!
ed notice from the pen of . one of the Edi-
tors, Rev. Dr. Field, rccapitulating facts al—
ready published by us and adds : “For
many years he has not been connected With
any paper, but has continued to live in this
city, engaged in business and has been re.
markably active and vigorous ; though
nearly 66 years of age, his step was light
and his countenance animated. He was a
Deacon in the Broadway Tabernacle, and
always took a deep interest in its affairs.
His pastor Rev. Dr. Thompson, at his fu-
neral, spoke with tender emotion of his life
and character.” -
The New York Obser-rer speaks of him as
“one of our valued Christian friends, a pub-
lic-spirited citizen, connected with many of
our institutions ; he was universally esteem:
ed, and his death is. sincerely lamented.

The large purchases of Government Bonds
'for the Sinking Fund, is naturally releasing
a good deal of fixed capital, and directing
attention to other classes of investments.
The following remarks. by the New York
Tribune, of a late date bears directly on the
subject of safe and profitable investments.
The rapidity with which the increased
revenues resulting from a wise and econom-
ical administration of the Government are
enabling the Secretary of the Treasury to
reduce the public debt, is releasing invested
capital at the rate of one hundred millions
per annum. The capital of the count is,
morever, increasing at- a rapid rate. lick
of this released and accumulating capital is
of the class that is not employed in business,
but seeks secure investment with reasonable
income. Among those who have been ac-
customed to keep their money in Govern-
ment Bonds, and who have enjoyed the
some of security which these afi‘orded,there
is much inquiry, now that the Government
is ready to pay them off with a handsome
premium,as to what other forms of invest-
ment are safe. It is well, understood that
pccially First Mortgage Bonds of honestly
managed Railroad Companies, must be safe.
The difficulty is to know which can be trust-
or more to invest cannot thoroughly inves-
tigate the numerous loans offered. Respon-
sible, intelligent, and honorable bankers
must do this for them. Messrs. Fisk 85 Hatch
are bringing their experience'to bear upon
these questions with laborious investigation
and a concientious desire to offer only first-
class andwcll guarded loans. They were
very largely instrumental in disposing of
the various Government loans during- the
war, and have since then sold the entire first
mortgage loan of the Central Pacific Rail-
road. Thev are now about to dispose of a
loan of $2,800,000 for the Western Pacific
Railroad already built and in operation from
San Francisco to Sacramento, to which
they elsewhere invite the attention of invest-
ors.

NOT So Now.—Many years ago, when
Judge Robert -M. Charlton, of Savannah,
Ga., was quite a— young man, he, in com-
pany with his father, the Hon. T. U. P.
Charlton, spent every summer in the delight-
ful little village of Clarksville, Northeast
Georgia. _
Onecfit Robert was passing along the
street in larksville, and it happened to be
election day. Members of Congress were
then elected by what was called tho gener-
al ticket ,systim and not by districts as they
now are, when he was met by a verdant
democrat of the mountains, who accosted
thus: ' '
“.Mr Charlton, are you the man that is'
running for Congress f" .
.“ No sir i I am no candidate—my lhther
is, however. But may I 'ask why this in-
VUiry ?” 1 , -
“ cthing, I hav’nt voted yit.”
“If it is consistent with your feelings I
would like .if you would vote for my
father." '
“I would as soon vote for him as body.”
Mr. C. thanked him, and thinking, per-
haps, his friend was seeking a treat, invited
him to a a neighboring bar room.
“What will you take t.”
“I never drink anything, but I see they
have some ginger cakes. I would as lieve
take one of them with you as. not.”
“Very well. Give us a cske.”
,‘My brother is in town with me."
“All right, take him a cake with my re-
spect.” Another cake was purchased and
paidffor, and the two friends parted, “Greeny’
to find his brother, and Mr. C. to join in the
merry dance with his young friends in a
parlor hard by.-
“The golden hours on an els’ wings"
passed rapidly away with - r. Charlton.
His friend was soon forgotten. Late in the
afternoon, when there was a pause in the
dance, our verdant friend. very much to the
surprise of every one, stalked into the par—
lor, inquiring for Mr. 0. Of course. a'll eyes
were directed to our friend as he approach-
ed Mr. C. Drawin "fl-om his bosom a four
by six inch cake, c said: “Mr. Charlton,
here’s our cake. My brother had voted
aforc seed him.” ' . ,
Mr. C.’s embarrassment was not greater
than his admiration of the fellow’s honesty.

DIsTnEserG.—A gentleman of our sc-_
quaintance who was sfiiictcd with a chronic
disease of the bladder remarked some time_
since that such was his bodily suffering that
he ardently wished for death to terminate
his misery. This man is now in a comfort-
able state of health—he was relieved by that
sovereign remedy Dr. J. Blackman’s Golden
extract and says he .is getting better every
day and expects soon to be a well man.—

Edward B. Ketchum was on Saturday re-
leased from State Prison at Sing Sing and
returned to his family ‘at Yonkers, where
he attended with them the EpiscopaIChurch
'on Sunday. We believe his rnlease is called
a pardon—perhaps accompanied by one—-
but that he had served out thc full term of
his sentence, except the deduction prescribed
by law for unexceptionable behavior while
confined. He has .many‘ friends 'who will
rejOice to hear that he is in good health.
Under. the influence of a hallucination,
Mr. Ketchum perpetrated gigantic forgeries,
which he took no pains to-conceal, remain-
ing in the City after they were discovered,
and preserving in his lodging the unused
forgeries on which alone he was arraigned
and—pleading guilty—convicted. He was
sentenced for the full term allowed by law,
though no one of those he had wronged
complained of or appeared. against him.
Gov. Fcnton resisted all applications for his
pardon; Gov. Hoffman (who sentenced him
as Recorder) did likewise up to the lost mo-
ment. It has seemed to us .that any poor,
obscure man who had done as he did in all
things would have receiVed an early pardon ;
but this may be a mistake. At all events,
we rejoice t at he is at last liberated, and we
hope he, may resolve to stay right here in
New York and retrfeve his damaged repu-
tation. He is not yet thirty years old, has
rare aptitude's for business, and can: hope
cause his past errors to be forgotten in his
subsequent career. We know few men of
whose integrity we are so well assured, or
of whose future we have higher hopes.
Those who know him best stand ready to
trust him farthest; for they. are sure that his
path was the result of a transient delusion,
and that he will henceforth prove himself a
just and true mam—Tribune. .

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
ALTHAM, Mesa, Nov. 12, 1863.
My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died of consumption. My mother had a cancer; I was
taken with a bad couch which had affected me 18
months; 12 months‘aflcr my son h commenced, can-
cers began inboth breasts, whic grew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps in both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroy me first. I had suffered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprin water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfect y well fortwo months; no
cough or expectorstion; no swelling in my breasts;
no dyspepsia; no sin ~ or sufi'ering. Everywhere I
am strong and ab e to perform all my duties. I took
medicinesfour months. ,

DISEASE OF THE, KIDNEYS, &c.—No class of
ills to which the human. flesh is heir, so stealtbily
and surely steal away the life blood of the victim as
do the senses of the kidneys and urinary organs.
Such is he delicacy of their structure and such the
keenncss of sympathy exhisting between the differ-
ent parts in connection, that wherever the terrible
finger of disease leaves its mark, the poison spreads
with lightning speed to every part olgthe system.
No part of the human economy is more exposed to
foes within and foes without, than these structures,
and no diseases are as unsuccessfully treated or as
little understood by members of the medical profes-
sion. Many are the poor victims who succomb to
their power. The numbers increase, and hundreds
upon hundreds die every year, whom, we have every
reason to believe, would tO-day be alive and in good
health, had they been aware of the destruction that
was going on within them and availed themselves of
pro or medicines to intercept the untimely event;
any preparations have from time ,to time been
advertised for the cure of this class of discascs, but
without a single exception they have proved unreli-
able. Even amc‘ng Physicians the treatment has
been far from satisfactory or efi'ectual.
It was to meet 'this exiocncy and to supply the
want of a trustworthy and reliable remedy in these
cases. that the Golden Extract was compounded.
Dr. J. Blackman, an Old and respected physician of
Brookttcld, Ct,. spent years of experiment and labor
to bringlit to perfection. and used it with great suc-
cess in is practice until the day of his death. Many
other physicians, knowlu" its ingredients. were dis-
posed to give it a trial, and all have spoken of it with
the most unbounded praise. Now it may be con-
sidered extravanant to claim for any combination of
remedies unlimited power over disease of any kind.
Yet. so often has this remedy exhibited its marvelous
powers over diseases of this class, that we unhcsi-
tatingly pronounce it a Specific for all qfl'ecti'ons of
the Kidneys and Urinary Organs. ‘
Not in one instance has there come to light in the
whole 20 years. that it has been before the public that
it. has failed to completely eradicate all ves-
tage of these diseases from the system and that too,
after all other remedies have utterly failed.
As a remedy in Gleet, Gravel, Strictnre, Gonunrhuea
Dropsy, Chronic Intiamatiou of the Bladder, Incon-
tinence of the Urine,- Spermatorrhms, Pain in the
back and Loins. &c.. Dr. J. Blackman's Golden Ex-
tract stands unrivalled and no one need suffer from
them when it is at hand. Certain relief is warran t-
ed.
It is customary with many dealers to publish a long
list of certificates and testimonials in favor ofa reme-
dy of this kind. We deem it unnecessary to do any-
thing Qf the' sort. although we nave a thousand at
our command. The efi'ccts of the compound are ap-
pealed fo—they are all the trumpet it. requires, and
to them is submitted the justice of its claim to un-
questionable vintuc. » .

it information mailcd free to any address.
Persons afilicied with these diseases would do well
to give it a trial.
The Golden Extract is for sale by all druggists. If
they have none On stock, ask them to get. it r or you,

GOVEBNMENT SECURITIES.
No. 5 Nassau Street, New York.
November. 8, 1869.
To our Customers and Corl'rspolitlcnfs :
'i‘hc surprising development of our national rc-
sourccs and the rapidity with which the government
is now enabled to reduce the national debt, by week-
ly purchases, render it apparent that the time is
approaching when the Five-Twenty bonds may be
funded at not over four or four and a half per cent.
interest.
Meanwhile their high price, as compared with
other classes of securities paying an equal rate at
interest, is leading to general inquiry for more plof—
itable forms of investment in which money may be
solely invested.
During the war the necessities and peril of the
government, and the consequent cheapncss of its
securities, rendered them so attractive that, from
this cause, combined with the patriotic faith of the
people in their safct , they absorbed almost the en-
tire floating capita of the country, and diverted
attention from other classes of securities which had
before been dccmed.snfiiciently conservative and
sound to meet the wants of the most cautious in-
vcstorsv
The government is no longer a borrower. It no
longer needs the.country’s capital, but dcsiics grate-
fully aud honorably to repay it.
The rapid accumulation of capital for investment,
and the reduction of the national debt and improve-
ment of the national credit—rendering it certain
that hereafter but a comparatively low rate of”;
terest can be derived from investment in government
bonds—is compelling the search for other safe and
well-guarded channels into which capital not em-
ployed in business may wisely firm.
The enterprise of Peace, no less nccdful in their
time and place for the common welfare, than were
the waste and cost of war, now call for the capital
which the government no longer needs, and offer for
is use a remuneration which the government need
no longer pay, and in some cases, a security as
stable and enduring as the faith of the nation itself.
The desire to capitalize the premiums which may
now be re ilizcd upon Five-Twenty bonds, and
which a material decline in Gold toward par, and
the ability of Government to fund them at a lower
rate ofintcrcsf, may at anytime extinguish. is felt
by many holders who desire some satisfactory as-
surance as to which of the many lower-priced se-
curities in the market would afford the necessary
safety to justify tin exchange.
The applications for information and advice which
are addressed to us daily, show how universal is
the desire for this assurance, as to what forms of
investment more profitable than Government secu-
rities at present market rates, are entitled to the
confidence of investors.
The pressure of this want has led us to feel the
importance of directing our own attention as bank-
ers, curiarge experience, and our facilities for oh-
tainiug reliable information to the work of sup-
plying it in some measure, and to offer the results
Lf our inquiries to those who may be disposed to
confide in our good faith and judgement.
We are unwilling to- offer our friends and the
public anything which according to our best judg-
ment is not. as secure as the national obligations
' themselves, with which we have hitherto principally
identified ourselves. '
Since closing the GREAT CENTRAL PACIFIC
RAILROAD LOAN, which meets all these require-
ments, we have carefully examined many others,
but have found no other which would fully do
so, until the following was placed in our hands:
