Wc entrcat our friends, especially here at

and rumors which the evil-minded, intent
only upon our defeat, may put forth. Stick
to the ticket!
We earnestly entreat this now before our
candidates are put in nomination. Don’t be

Senator Hoyt.
No one who watched the proceedings of
our last Legislature can deny that Senator
l-ontwas unusually active and effective in
the advocacy of measures in which his Dis-
trict had special interest. His speech for
freedom to build Railroads and thus give
employment to capital and the laboring
classes, was an effort which commanded the
praises Of all who listened to it. In point
of talent, and especially in industrious la—
bors for his constituents, no man was his
superior in that body. Shall we swap him
011‘ for a man who has no cxperie:cc what—
ever aud whose only heft is in his brooches

The Norwalk Bank Robbery.
It seems that some of our own citizens
have been more successful than the New
York detectives, ferreting out the perpetra-
tors of the Bank Robbery. Some sixteen
thousand dollars of Bonds were traced to
one William erii, an Exchange Broker at
745 Broadway. Prestdent Hill caused his
arrest and he underwent a three day’s exam-
ination last week before Justice Scott at the
Toombs. Mr. Bill, S. E. Olmstcad and E. K.
Lockwood identified certain bonds which
were stolen at the bank robbery and traced
to him, as their property. le11 was kept
in the Toombs two days, and on Friday
was admitted to $10,000 bail. We learn that
Mr. Hill has received a threatening letter
from some one of the fraternity dated from
the point of the rascal’s ultimate destination,
which indicates that the right heads have
been hit.

More Financial Disaster.
Our community had scarce recovered from
the shock it experienced by the failure of
Bowers,Beekman & 00., the N. Y. agents Of
our Union Manufacturing 00., when it is
again startled by the suspension of Jenkins,
Vail 1% Peabody, agents of our Norwalk
Mills, and of 'thc Lounsbury & Bissell Co.—
Thc failure is said to involve over a million
of dollars, and will undoubtedly involve our
Norwalk companies as well as several pri-
vate citizens here, in very serious losses,
The current rumors that our several banks
are :likcly to become losers in heavy
amounts, we are assured is untrue. N0
statement of the assets or liabilities of the
suspended firm has as yet been made, con-
sequently all reports are but speculations.
It is believed that the Lounsbury So Bissell
Co. will be the most serious sufferers, while
the Secretary and Treasurer Of that Com-
pany will lose heavily in his individual ca-
pacity. All the par-tics there involved, seem
to have the most sincere sympathy of the
entire community, and the ardent wish of
all our people is that the disaster may not
prove so serious as it now appears.
The same failure has carried down the
house of J as. H. Prentiss & Co. the largest
Hat manufacturers in the country. The
Messrs. J cnkius & Co., were the agents for
the sale of the Boynton Patent Boulevard
Seamless Felt Skirt, manufactured by Pren-
tiss & 00., who held the paper of Jenkins «9:
Co., to the amount of a quarter of a million.
It was thus that he became involved with
Messrs. J cnkius, Vail & Peabody, their fail-
ure causing a loss to him of over $200,000.
The pressure in the present state of trade,
was too much, and he was compelled to an-
nouncc himself unable to meet his liabilities,
and to suspend operations. The firm has
three factories—one at the corner Of Wil-
loughby and Raymond sis, another on Nos-
trand ave, and one at South Norwalk. The
failure has thrown about one thousand hands
out of employment. The factories, stock,
and material owned by the firm are valued
at more than $1,000,000, being more than
sufficient to cover liabilities, but if sold to
pay debts, u is doubtful if the property
would bring anytliiugflikc its full value.—
Iu view of this fact, and that the establish-
ment has, and can be, made a source of prof-
it by being run, and also give employment
to a large number of persons, it is probable
that a settlement will be made with the
creditors, and a joint stock company form—
ed to continue the business.
The rumor that other batters at South
Norwalk were pccuniarily embarrassed by
the failure is also untrue. All in all, how-
ever, onr town has suffered very severely
the last six months, and it will take a long
time to fully recover from the ”combined
losses by these New York failures and our
Bank robbery. '

the public are invited to attend. '

such, particularly if they are merchants or

The Struggle to Defeat the Re-
publican Candidate for Sena-
tor in this District.
The references, made in our last, to the
struggle now going on to secure the election
of Mr. E. A. WOOdward, Clerk of the New
York Board of Supervisors, have called
forth some very angry criticisms from our
democratic friends. It has never been our «
habit to indulge in personal abuse of 'any
man because he happens to be a candidate
Of the party Opposed to us. If we had any
such disposition, the conspicuous example
of that sort of thing constantly found in the
democratic journals, would cure as of it.
On the other hand, any gentleman who pre-
sents himself as a candidate for office, he-
comes thereby properly and justly the sub-
ject of inspection and criticism. No one
appreciates more than we do, the public
spiritcdness Of Mr. Woodward, or rejoices
more than we do, that he is the fortunate
possessor of the means to erect houses, a
boon to our needy tradespcoplc, and help
along all needy enterprises. We have suf-
ficiently attested this, in the frequont, com-
plimcntary notices given in these columns.
But because of his wealth and disposition
to invest that wealth to advantage, are we
to attend his church, if he has any,
or join the Tammany Hall democracy?
We know Mr. Woodward, himself, is not
such an ass as to expect any such thing.
What then are we to think, and what must
be thought of the half-dozen Republicans,
whose sudden .and conspicuous zeal in his
behalf have attracted public attention and
provoked public discussion the past week?
We know the District has a better man in
the person of Col. Hoyt, and we only de-
sire that in this contest, the best man may
win, as he is sure to do.
BEWARE!

inst. The deceased was born at Hinsdale,

age. He removed in early life to Chester,
Vt., where he pursued successfully the
vocation .Of a. farmer. In 1824 he removed
to Hoosick, where he carried on the manu-
facture of slate roofing. About thirty years
ago he withdrew from the business and
soon ofter removed to Sandlakc and has
ever since resided there. Mr. Wright was
twice married and was the father of
twenty-six children, twenty-three of whom
were living at the time of his death. His
children are all married and in prosperous
and respectable positions in life. He had
had during his life ninety grand-children,
seventy-four Of whom are still living. And
still more remarkable of this remarkable
progeny, none of them are in any way do.

Improved Steambgut Wheel.
Since the construction of Fulton’s first
steamboat, there has been little or no im-
provement in paddle-wheels, notwithstand-
ing numbers Of scientific people have given
the subject considerable attention. The old-
fashioned peddle-wheel, with its parallel
and radical buckets, has many defects, the
most serious of which is that the buckets
during only a small portion of their move-
ment through the water exert the full pro-
pelling force, as in entering the water they
curt a downward instead of a backward
pressure; and as they leave the water they
have a lifting action, by which much power
is wasted. Another defect, which is a con-
sequence of the manner of the buckets en-
tering the ,water, is the jarring or hammer-
ing which is always experienced, partica-
larly on boats of light draft. The wheel has
been in use for the past 15 months on the
ning on L'. I. Sound, and the Engineers of
the steamers testify to the many advantages
the new wheel possesses over the old one.
On Thursday, a number of steamboat men
witnessed its practical working on the steam-
er Nellie White, on the wheels of which
boat the buckets had been shifted. While
the boatwas underweigh, the wheel-house
door was opened, thereby affording a favor-
able opportugity to wrtncss the movement of
the buckets. Captain William W. Vander-
bilt, who for twenty years was the General
Superintendent of the Pacific Mail Steam-
ship Company, was favorably impressed
with the quiet movement of the boat. He
believed that if the some speed could be
Obtained with thc'new wheel as with the
old, the improvement would be complete.
The patentee claims that he can increase
the speed of any steamer that may use the
oblique buckets—N. Y. Tribune.

dent GRANT’S administration, which closed
on the 4th inst. The general impression
is, all things considered, that the year clos-
ses remarkably well. The national debt
has been decreased by nearly a hundred
millions of dollars ; reconstruction has been
Completed, and the Fifteenth Amendment
has been ratified. This is a remarkable ex-
hibit to make for the first twelve months,
when we recollect what a dreadful state
the country was in at the close of JOHN-
SON’s administration. More than all this,
confidence in the government has been re-
storcd at home and abroad. The world
now believes that we are honest and intend
to pay our debts. So 'our bonds in foreign
markets have advanced, and gold is to-day
but a few cents above par. There is a
much better tone of feeling existing
throughout the country than there was
twelve months ago. Nearly all causes for
excitement have been removed, and the
citizen, is fast returning to the ways of
peace. Indeed, from the beginning, peace
has been the policy of General GRANT, both
at home and abroad—N. Y. Globe.

Letters from the People.
A week has elapsed, and the mystery is
solved, neither as a ’prcnticc nOr as an adept
docs Mr. Woodward come before the voters
of the 12th District for their sufi'ra'ges. “He
will use no money in the campaign save in
a legitimate way, such as the hire of trains,
&c.” Says one of his next friends, “Woody
is very popular in South Norwalk, and a
great many Of his Republican friends will
vote for him on that account” he continues.
So the days 'of primitive simplicity have
come back! Party organization is ,cast _
aside, and the “ best man" is to win ?
”No more will I sit in my cabbage patch
A gazing at the moon—
The atmosphere is purer here
Than up in a balloon.”
And all this has been brought about by a
disciple of Tammany Hall !
The contemplation is inspiring, and, as
we, too, hope for a political future, we look
for the source of this remarkable popularity.
What is it that sends two or three hitherto
honored Republicans whirling about the
District chanting the praises of “ Woody,”
and makes the N. Y. dz N. H. R. R. Co.
humble worshippers at his shrine.
“ Woody” is a liberal, genial, enterprising,
wide-awake good fellow l He studied purity
with the Supervisors, abstinence with the
“ Americus Club,” frugality in Wall street,
and consistency everywhere. ' ’
Voters of the 12th! Rally to the support
of this darling champion of the pure and
undefiled democracy! Shall it be' said of
you that your political principles, your
record in the past, your present opinions or
your future hopes are to influence your ac-
tion? Throw to the winds such thoughts!
Let “ popularity prevail, and the era Of
“good fellow”-ship be now inaugurated !
What though the “ spicy” breezes
Blow soft near Keyser’s isle;
Though every prospect pleases
And all are asked to “ smile.”
In vain with lavish kindness,
This graciousness is shown.
Should we with heathen blindness
Not bow at “ Woody’s” throne.
S. P. B.
MEssns. EDITORS :—If our democratic can-
didate for State Senator wants to make a
good run, let him come out on the war path
with his Indian costume and Wigwam paint.
I understand he is one of the “little Inj uns”
of Tammany, and if he could come forth
with some of the scalps of his chief, Tweed,
that would help him and make a genuine
sensation. SOUTII NORWALK.
Mnssns. EmTonsf—You were quite right
in exposing the meanness and deceit of
shoving “ Woody ” off the State ticket,
where he had just the ghost of a chance,
and putting him on the track for Senator,
where he has a Republican majority of over
200 to Overcome. It was done, just as you
say, to bleed him, and he ought to have sense
to see it. He will have, after electzbn.
Muses. Enrrons: The voters of the 12th District‘
would like to have Major Hoyt, the Republican nom-
inee and Mr. Woodward, the Democratic candidate,
take the stump together, so that the people may see
them, and hear from their own lips the reasons why
they ask our votes. In this way we could form an
intelligent Judgment as to which candidate was most
deserving of our mill-ages. By all means, let our
candidates come out and show themselves to the
people. VOTER.
Will the Gnu-rs: permit a laboring man to ask
the question whether. after I have done an honest
day’s_lab0r, and received only my honestdues there-
for, if my employer can with any decency demand of,
me that I go to his church, or vote his ticket '2 Again
had the Democratic candidate for Senator been a
roon MAN, like myself. how many Republicans or
Democrats, for that matter, would have thought of
voting for him.

BETTER THAN EVER.»
NORWALK, 24th, 1370.
Mussns. EDITons:——I had the pleasure on
Tuesday last (with several of our' most rc-
spected citizens) Of being, present at the
trial of Mingo Chief, a second class Steam
Fire Engine, built by the Allcrton Iron
Works Manufacturing Company, of South
Norwalk, under the supervision of Morris
Bottichcr, Esq., for the town of Logan, Ohio.
The “ Mingo Chief” is a gem Of art, and
although built upon an entirely new plan,
entirely different from any other engine-
built by that Concern, she proved a perfect
success.
At20’clo‘, everything being in readi-
ness, fire was started under her boiler and
steam was raised in six minutes, and she
commenced playing, and with 110 pounds
of steam and 140 pounds water-pressure,
threw a solid stream Of water through 100
feet of hose and with a 1 1-8 nozzlc,275 feet
and our worthy P. M. states that lie was
wet with the spray at 300 feet.
The most remarkable fact connected with
the trial was the rapidity with which she
drew water through a suction 4 1—4 inches
in diameter a depth Of 12 feet.
The Mingo Chief and a very elaborate
hose tender, built by the same Concern, are
to be shipped to their destination in the for
West on Saturday of this week.
Asking your pardon for the intrusion on
time and space—hoping that you will be
pleased to give this a place in your widely-
circulatcd journal, I am most respectfully

The latest report from Albany says that
the quarrel between the. young democracy
and the “ring” has been healed... They
threatened to turn Tweed, Sweeny tb Co.
out Of Tammany, but the “reformers” con-
cluded it was best to make terms. We
thought it would come to this. A “reform"
party, of which the Hon. John Morrissey is a
prominent member, could hardly amount to
much. It was merely a squabble ovc‘r the
spoils.

Olin-ages upon American Citizen I In St
. Domingo. . '
Secretary Robeson explained, yesterday,
to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
that the reason why American citizens could
not be protected in Cuba was, that all our
available ships of war were busy looking
after matters in St. Domingo. Will he now
explain wh ,if this be the case, American
citizens in t. Domingo receive no protec—
tion ?
"Since th5229th of last August, Mr. Davis
Hatch, 2). citizen of N orwalk, Connecticut,
and a gentleman whose uprightness and
respectability are unquestionable, has been
keptin prison by the Baez Government, on
a trumped-up charge of having conspired
with and assiste the Cabral faction. The
fact is that Mr. Hatch was engaged in busi-
ness at a place called Baradona, and while
there, the town being occupied by the Ca-
bralist forces, his house-was taken and used
as headquarters by their leaders. This was
his sole offence, and for it he was tried by
court martial after Baez got possession of the
place again, and sentenced to be shot. This
sentence Baez thought best not to execute,
but he retains Mr. Hatch in a confinement
which, if much longer continued, will prob-
ably rcsult in his death. Our commercial
agent at St. Domingo, Mr. Raymond H. Per-
ry, has requested his release, but the Domin-
ican Government so far have returned only
evasive answers, and evidently intend not
to comply with the request.
The real secret of this action Of the DO-
minican authorities is,we are informed, that
Mr. Hatch is in possession of information
concerning the frauds they are cndeavoring
to practise upon the United States in the
matter of the Samuna Bay lease, and Of the
annexation treaty. Is it possible that men
high in Office at Washington are themselves
so involved in these transactions that they
are willing to leave Mr. Hatch to die in
prison rather than to have the frauds fully
the State of New York.

The Sons of Temperance.
The Division of this Order,‘Concord, N0.
2. Of this place, is now twenty—six years old.
It was instituted March lst, 1844, under a
charter granted by the Grand Division of
Among the char-
ter members were Messrs. Robert Ells, Gould
D. Jennings, Asa. Hill, A. C. Arnold, Geo.
W. Benedict and Charles Lockwood, all of
whom yet retain membership.
Anniversarty exercises are to take place
on Tuesday evening, April 5th. The Com-
mittee Of Arrangements, of which Mr. Lewis
Hubbell is Chairman and Treasurer, and R.
L. Ells, Sccrctary,havc entered actively into
the duty assigned them. And for its better
discharge have appointed sub-committees
on Finance, Music, Lecture, Order of Excr-
cises, and Refreshments. All of these Com-
mittees report good progress, and their
meetings are well attended by members of
the Division. Members of the Order only
are invited to attend and participate in the
proceedings. Representation is expected
from the Stamford, New Canaan and Ro-
wayton Divisions, invitations having been
extended to them.
Commencing with Prayer by the Chaplain,
the Order Of Exercises will be interspersed
with music, a lecture, and addresses from
members of the Order. Mr. Geo. W. Bun-
gay, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has kindly consent-
ed to attend and deliver the lecture. Mr.
Gibson, who has recently united with the
Division, has kindly Offered his organ for
the occasion and consented to preside there-
at. He will be assisted by members and
lady visitors of the society. 0
Apropos to the above is the work done by
this Division. Renewed life seems to have
entered its portals, and lately it is very ac-
tive in the Temperance cause. Friday cvc-
ning last, three young men and three ladies
entered the Division; and these were pre-
cecdéd the week before by five gentlemen
and two ladies. Indications are that they
will soon be followed by others. The lady
visitors of the Division are taken from the
families of the members and also from
among the large class Of our lady citizens
interested in the good and welfare of the
Temperance catisc. The membership com-
prises many of our leading citizens, young
and old, as well as many who have been
withdrawn from the paths and by-ways of
intcmpcrancc. Financially, the society is
in a flourishing condition. Its Hall is well
furnished; The walls are decorated with
portraits of the Charter members, and also
by many fine engravings, portraits of Tom.
perance men, and of Union Generals.—
Thcsc, in addition to the frescoing, help to
make an attractive meeting room. These
as assets, are properly included under this
head. As to funds, we understand that
there is a moderately large one. This is de-
voted to the Benefit part of the society. As
the expenses are small, and to a great ex-
tent defrayed by privatc subscriptions among
the members, the funds should be largely
increased each year.
This, as giving a short insight into the
work done by, and the condition of one of
our oldest‘ societies, is given to our readers
as a subject which will find a numerous class
of those interested in the cause in which
this gicty has been laboring for the past
twenty-six ycags.

THE LARGEST LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
IN THE WonLn.—-The Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, started on the lst
of February, 1843, without capital; it had
accumulated cash assets amounting to Thir-
t-y-sevcn million, four hundred and seventy-
nine thousand, one hundred and sixty-three
dollars, on the _1st of January, 1870, being
largest financial institution in the United
States, and the largest Life Insurance Com-

TYPE-SETTING MATCII.—-George A. Bar»
bar, a compositor on the Cincinnati Com-
wwrcz'al, has published a challenge to the
craft wherein he holds himselfready to set
type against any other mm for cu con-
secutive hours, for apursc of $1.0 0. This
challege hrs been accepted by George
Arcnsberg Of the New York Times, who
her put down the forfeit money. Since the
art of printing has been known, the ques.
tion of how many types, according to
printers’ measurement, could be set up
and corrected in ten hours’ time has been
no open one, and now that an opportunity
is to be given of settling it, the printers
of the country will not cease to speculate
upon-it until the event has passed. It is
claimed by those acquainted with these
men, that each has set as much as 17,000
ems of type in ten consecutive hours.
When the reader is iuiormed that 17,000
ems are equal to about 40,000 separate picc-
es of metal, he will have a. basis upon
which tOvcalculate. TO do this, one piece
must be lifted in each second, the time of
justifying each line, and transferring each
stickf‘ul to a galley included. Should the
match take place, and should either per-
form what is claimcd he can do, it will sur-
pass anything before known Of mcchaniCal
motion. The test copy is to be a message
of the President, run into one solid para-
graph, and the type is .to bc'nonparcil.
