A Local Gaines Case.
For months past there have been rumors
afloat concerning some mysterious claimant
to theiproperty on the South-East side of
Union Avenue, and from Main Street to
Eclipse Avenue. It covers the places of
Messrs. Weeks, Uhle, Smith, Fitch, J en-
nings, Sherwood and Gorham. The pres-
ent claimant is aMrs. Abigail Hanford, and
, her, claim to this now valuable property
goes far back, almost to the last century,
and is based upon her own individual in-
terest therein, which was perfected by the
recent death of her husband, whose life in-
terest in the estate only, she claims, was sold
under foreclosure of a mortgage. The case
has been brought into court and the present
occupants served with notice to appear and
show cause why theey shall not quit. By
most persons -it is looked upon as a wild and
Quixotic scheme sure to result in failure, but
a case that would secure the countenance of
such astute lawyers as Messrs. Woodward
& Warner, must have at least some techni-
cal ground upon which to stand, and it be-
hooves the owners of the property in ques-
tion and all the: warrantors back to the re-
inotest generations to bestir themselves. If
anything is recovered, it will be at the end
of a long, tedious and expensive contest in
the Courts, and it would seem much better
and fairer for all parties concerned to com-
promise the claim by some reasonable pay-
ment, that the matter might be ended. As
at present inaugurated, it can bring peace
and profit only to the lawyers. '
WThe Fall elections last week were
generally favorable to the Republicans, but
in Indiana the result is so close as, to be
. still doubtful, although the demOcracy gain
several Member of Congress. The Repub-
lican majority in Ohio is something over
15,000, in Iowa 40,000. ,
@‘Rev. Samuel Dunham, of West Brook-
field, Mass, we learn, has signified his ae-
ceptance of the call to preside over the First
Congregational Church in this place until
next Spring, and will commence his labors
here on the second Sunday in November,
Dr. Wood, late missionary to Turkey,
preached in the above-named church last
Sundaymorning, ‘ and delivered an address
on Turkey and the mission cause, in the eve-
ning.
Rev. Thomas N. BOss, of New London, is
expected to occupy the pulpit next Sunday.
-PERSONAL.—J_Olln Byxbee and wife leave
on Thursday for their home in San Francis-
co. They have enjoyeda pleasant “visit’
at the paternal home and among friends.
although “John” has experienced some dif-
ficulty in getting re-acclimated here. Bon
coyage to them as they whirl over the iron
rail to their delightful home on the golden
shore.
.Ebenezer J. Hill sails on Friday for New
Orleans. “Eb.” is a lively fellow, but we
hope “Yellow Jack” may not be equally
lively and catch him.
W On Friday night last our heavens
were overspread and variegated with one
of the most magnificent auroras seen in
these latitukes for many years. From blood-
red and scarlet, the shafts of light mutated
to yellow, green and white. ‘At times the
shafts of white resembling some huge Os-
trich feather, or the tail of a comet. It
lasted far into the night and at times cov-
ered the entire arc of the heavens.

[3‘ Our new Board of Assessors are soon
to meet for the re-assessment of property.
We counsel them to exercise a greater de-
gree of care than has sometimes been mani.
fest. There are few persons in town—if in-
deed therehe any other one,—who is so
thoroughly and practically familiar with the
honest value of property in Norwalk, as our
Collector, Stephen Raymond, Esq., and it
would be well to invite him into their coun-
cils.

Rev. Jas. B. Simmons, D. D., Secretary of
.the American Baptist Home Mission Soci-
ety, occupied the pulpit of the Baptist
Church last Sunday evening, giving an ac-
count Of a recent trip through the Southern
States, for the purpose of inspecting the
Schools established by the Society for the‘
education of colored preachers,and making
an appeal for contributions to assist 'the So-
ciety in carrying on that especial part of its
' work.

W During the past week there has
passed away from earth, a youth, whose
short life, humble and unostentatious though
it was, had yet so won its way to the hearts-
of all who knew him, that when it was an-
nounced about our village that “little Sam-
my Street” was dead, a sadness overspread
the town far more tender and touching than
when the renowned and great are mourned.
The fair-haired and sunny-browed boy will
be recalled by many as clerk in the Drug
store of E. P. Weed. Here it was that by
his peculiarly winning ways and amiability'
he at once won the attention and even afi‘ec-
tion of all who knew him.‘ But a sudden
and severe cold resulted in consumption,
and at the early age of eighteen, with all
the rich prizes of life glittering bright be-
fore his eyes and inspiring his boyish am-
bition, he has gone, peacefully to his rest.
He leaves behind, however, a legacy far
richer and more glorious than either states-
man or warrior, the record and memory of
the life of a pure, good boy.
MURDER WILL OWL—The strong attach-
ment which the Neptune club boys have so
long cherished for the beauties of the quiet
sea-side village of Edgartown has long been
a mystery to their sIay-at-home friends.
The secret, however, has finally leaked out,
and proves to be as strange as it is innocent
and “small.’_’ It seems, as we learn by the
“ Log" just issued, that on their arrival they
assemble “in the parlors of their friends
and recount the expenses of the‘ trip.”
How difi‘erent from the “ Gra'mpus” mem-
bers, who all join with their two-millionaire
. Commodore in an innocent amusements
' that offer, “regardless of expense.”

is a new feature in domestic industry and

The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.
have presented twenty of their best Cabi-
net Organs to 019A. B. 0.1“. Missibn.
“Honor to Whom Honor fa Due, are.”
There has been a pretty fiee criticism of
the awards made by some of the judges at
our late Fair, and in a few instances, they
have taken, no doubt, an unwarranted di-
rection towards personal animosities. Hav-
ing ourselves permitted some of these com-
plaints to find expression through our col-
umns, we now propose, in a spirit of sheer
justice, to render credit to those officers and
friends of our Agricultural Society, who,
year after year, in sunshine or in storm,
have devoted themselves so earnestly to pro-
mote its welfare without hope of other re-
ward than the satisfaction felt in aiding a
public benefaction. To the President of the
Society, Mr. Jonathan Camp, the friends and
patrons of that orgiinization are mainly in-
debted for the possession of the capacious
and altogether unsurpassed grounds now
the property of the Society, and at a cost,
too, of about one-quarter its present real-es-
tate value. No man ever worked more zeal-
ously for the promotion of any good cause
than has Mr. Camp, and the general good
order and prosperity Of the organization are
mainly due to his unrequited services. The
Secretary, Capt. Chas. E. Plumb, has also
for the years of his stewardship, given time
and labor to the arrangement, classification
and general detail of the Society’s exhibi-
tions, which in any other department of re-
quited service, would ensure him a hand-
some recompense. But he has been content
to labor here-to the best Of his abilities for
the bare payment of his actual expenses.
We know well the degree of vexatious,
straining, and unremitting toil .to which he
is subjected, for we have “ been through the
mill.” Only those who have preceded, or
may follow him, in the secretaryship, will
ever know how perplexing and diflicult are
its duties. Then there is the Treasurer,
Capt. Jos. W. Huhbell, who willingly as-
sumes all the trouble and difficulty of keep-
ing the financial accounts of so varied if
not vast concern; paying the dividends and
receiving back as compensation, the com-
plaints and scolding of all the disappointed,
as though he were guilty of every error
made. The Marshal, Mr. Foster, perform-
ed the onerous duties of his office to the sat-
isfaction of all fair-minded men. Then come
thOse gentlemen, who, year after year, freely
give their time as Committeemen, and take
the abuse ever consequent upon independ-
ent and honest action. These gentlemen
have not so arduous duty perhaps,. but a
much more thankless and unsatisfactory one
to perform. If they do their duty and ad-
judge fairly, somebody is sure to he unrea-
sonable enough to “ be mad ” at their decis-
ions, aud we think there should be at least
some recompense to the Committeemen, if
in no other way, at least in gratitude and
thanks of the impartial public. The Com-
mittees this year, had a particularly perplex-
ing trial ofit. Those regularly appointed,
and supposed to have been selected on ac-
count of some fitpess they may have had
for the special duty, only in a few instances,
reported themselves. ' As a consequence,
others had to be caught up anyhow and any-
where, to fill their places. It is really re-
markable, when the matter is given a
thought, that no more mistakes and errors
of judgment occurred. All in all, the late
Fair has never had its equal. In so far as
the interests of the producers of our county
are concerned it was indicative df most grat-
ifying progress, and in view of the terrible
drought, the vegetable productions simply
wonderful. Let us remember then, and re-
joice over all that was good and excellent
in the fair, and forget as soon as possible all
that resulted from any errors of judgment,
relying on‘ the past to improve the future.
W Our fellow townsmcn, the Messrs.
Lockwood iii 00., receive commendation
from all quarters. All their smaller liabili-
ties they have paid in full, and propose to
liquidate egerything on the basis of a hund-
red cents on the dollar, as soonas is possi-
ble for them to do so. The money editors
of the Tribune and the Standard have the
following :A
We are pleased to announce that Messrs.
Lockwooddv 00., who were forced to sus-
pend payment in September of last year in
consequence of complications connected
With the gold conspiracy, have already paid
installments on the settlement made with
their creditors .at that time. The house com-
promised at fifty cents on a dollar, but fully
recognize their liability to pay the balance
as their means will admit. They have al-
ready paid a large number Of the amounts,
from which they Were released, in fill], with
interest.— ne. ‘ » .
We learn that Messrs. Lockwood 85 00.,
who compromised with their creditors a
year ago for fifty cents on the dollar, are
now paying one hundred cents with inter-
est on the claims against them. We obtain-
ed this information fi'om one of their or edit-

tional church in Darien, last Wednesday,
evening, was a pleasing entertainment. The
Organ is an unusually fine instrument with
which our Darien friends may well feel de-
lighted. Mr. Gibson' exhibited its pure,
clear, sweet tones to great advantage. The
Choral Union sang several choruses, and
Miss Byxbee a solo. As the concert was en-
tirely by Norwalk talent we refrain fi'om
complimentary remarks; the performers;had
the gratification of knowing that their ef-
forts were highly appreciated by the audi-
ence. The exercises were varied by two
Recitations by Miss Potter, teacher of elo-
cution in Miss Rice’s Seminary, which were
received with great applause—richly de-
served. She is very talented, and her reci-
tations give excellent satisfaction. The
church, on this occasion, was decorated by

ing street gutters into diminutive bayous.
It must be known that the Tyler is especial-
ly fitted up as a floating steam fire engine
for harbor service, the principal machinery
being devoted to pumps Of a peculiar cons-
truction. The main pipe has a mouth or
nozzle ten inches wide, which is easily filled.
This tube is so arranged that the same size of
canvas‘hose, of any length, can be attached,
and a constant stream sent throu h to the
distance of several squares, and an cient to
supply four or five steam fire engines, so
Captain Jack Adams thinks. -
As the little giant sat on the river, easily
controlled by her master, Davis, .she found
it no trouble to fill the big hose, one end of
which was nearly three blocks from her,
washing the streets thoroughly, at the same
time supplying thirsty housewives with an
abundance of the needed liquid. This ex-
periment proving satisfactory, the engineer
changed base, attaching six of the size
usual y in vogue with firemen, pipe of two-
inch nozzle. These sent fine streams into
the river, and it is said she can stretch out
volumes nearly one hundred feet from each
of the branches. As a protection to ship-
ping in case of fire, and for supplying water
for land-engines, she is successful, but un-
doubtedly the apparatus will be improved
on in a short time. She has steam up con-
stantly, ready to take up a ' position where
most needed. A large reel of rubber hose
on deck, in addition to the huge canvas af-
fair, indicates that her managers mean to
make good use of her, in the unfortunate
Event that she should be called on to fight

Letters from the People.
Mussns. EDITons :—It may not be known
to many of your readers that REV. THOMAS
HANFORD, the first minister of the First-
Congregational Church, of Norwalk, who
began to preach here in 1652, was ordained
in 1654. and died in 1693, was brother-in-law
to Isaac Robinson, (son of JOHN ROBINSON,
0‘ Lcy 1.1811,”) Who married his sister, MARGA-
BET HANFORD, at Scituate, Mass, June 27,
1636. . '
Isaac Robinson was one of six cliiliren of
John Robinson and Bridget White, and was
born in 1610. Three of the- sons of Isaac,
VIZ. John, Peter and Thomas, settled in
Connecticut.
JOHN RonmsoN was born in Lincolnsliire,
England, in 1575, took his degree of A. M.
at Emanuel College, Cambridge, in 1600, F.
A. D. in 1607, and led forth a body of Non-
Confermists to Amsterdam in 1608. > They
removed to Leyden in 1609 and to America
in 1620. He attempted to follow them, but
died in 1625.
“He was a man,” says Governor Bradford
in his Dialogues, “not easily to be paralleled
for all things. or learned and solid judg-
ment, of a quick and sharp wit, yet tender
in his conscience and sincere in all his ways,
he was a hater of dissimulation and would
be very plain with his best friends. He was
affable and'courteous,yet so acute in dispu-
tation as to be much dreaded. He was nev,
er satisfied till he had searched a matter to
the bottom, and was accustomed to say that
he had answered others but not hinwelf. He
was much beloved by his people, and as
loving was he to them. Through his singu-
lar ability, he was also a fit manager of their
civil afi'airs.”
Baylic, the well-known opponent of all
the Non-Conformists, calls him “the most
learned, modest and polished spirit that ev-
er separated from the Church of England."
MESSRS. EDITonszeHow well said, “ Af-
ter a storm comes a'calm," and sometimes
a clam bake,—but no water is moved in the
GAZETTE this ‘week, and I think .it is well.
I should be pleased to have some one join
me, and especially such as desire pure water
for the good and benefit of the Borough or
town, and not simply that one or two indi-
viduals be benefittcd at the expense of the
town. As nothing will be done this season,
I presume, and as there should be water ac-
cessible for. the Fire Department, I com:
mend that a Reacrcoir be made on the
ground in front of the Horse R. R. Depot,
the entire width of the street, and to extend
to the foot of Main street, and to he 6 to 10
feet deep more or less, and laid in cement—
hydraulie cement. , From such reservoir the
engines could be readily supplied. I would
for a reasonable compensation fill such res-
ervoir and keep the same full at all times.
This might be a source of income to the
Borough, as service-pipe could be attached
to such reservoir, and carried into every
building—hotels, restaurants, drug stores
and all others, where the occupants could
spend the time and labor necessary to raise
a pump handle a few times a day.
I will propose to fill and to keep filled
sueh reservoir—larger or smaller, as the
Borough may supply—and that, free of
charge or cost, conditioned, that I have the
right to put down service-pipe and supply
water to such as may desire it, and at such
price as they may be willing to pay.
This will in some measure test the supply;
when this is done to the satisfaction of all, I
will then propose that a suitable reservoir
be placed on the Green. This would give
head and fall of some 60 feet at the Bridge.
The water could be conveyed down town,
and. to South. Norwalk City. The supply
pay a reasonable equivalent for the same.
There shall be no lack of supply, as I will
pledge every dollar over and above current
expenses to he applied in the procuring from
other sources or springs, all that is required
for any and every purpose. Had I the means,
I should ask no favor, but go ahead and do
the work as I propose, or please. If it was
then acceptable, all well ; if not,.I could
spring to some other-hobby. _
I ask nothing from the public or from in-
dividuals, without an equivalent, and do
not ask that they take my word for that, or
that they pay for a thing they do not have.
Is there enterprise enough left to seize and
stop and utilize the flow and waste fi'om the
Gibbs’ Spring! “We shall see what we
shall see.” Yours respectfully, &c.
