Congressmen Strong of the: lst, or Hart-
ford District was re-nominated by acclama-
mation on Wednesday last. It is no joke on.
the democracy to afilrm that he will be a
strong candidate and be triumphantly re-el-
ected at the polls. He has made a record in
Congress of uprightness and fidelity to eve-
ry duty, while to all. matters of local and
state legislation he has been peculiarly de-
voted and influential. . He will sweep the
First District by an' increased majority.-
In the 2nd District Gen. S. W. Kellogg, of
Waterbury, was also refiominated. the sums
day, by the unanimous and most enthusiast-
ic acclaim of the delegates. This District is
nominally two thousand democratic, but so
popular has Kellogg made himself among
honest men of all parties in his district, by
his indefatigable labors in Congress for the
- welfare of his people, that it is conceded by
many leading democrats, that he again has _
the best chance of an election. Kendrick is
openly charged by the New Haven demo-
crats with having bought his nomination,
and this charge, with the conceded fact that
he defeated their nominee Mr. J. F. Babcock,
two years ago, renders it more than proba-
ble, that we may carry the second District
again this year. At all events, if any Re-
publican alive, can do ‘it, Stephen W. Kel-
logg is, that man. -
In' the 3rd District until quite recently, it»
had been supposed that Hon. H. H. Stark-
weather, would be rengninated. Lattcrly,
however, that mischievous question of "lo-
cality”'.has agitated the councils of our
friends and Mr. Starkweather may deem it
his duty to decline. All earnest Republi-
cansn’mtside that district, both in state and
nation, will seriously regret any such result,
as ,his withdrawal from Congress would be
universally recognized as a national as well
as State loss. We trust no circumstances
may arise to render such a course on his
part advisable, but should there be, we have
the consolation of knowing that old Wind-
ham county has plenty of sound Republican
timber to :hging out, and whoever of her
many noble sons may receive the nomina-
' , tion, willbe certainly elected.

@Thephichester heirs have sold sixty
feet front oh Main street adjoining Flavius
Clark’s EQQKACJM “OldWell Club ” for
their Clhb'fifiljie, and for an Opera House
in the upperfs'tories. The building is to be
an‘Ironfto sud French roof, and will be
. ' est substantial and attractive
V W structures-in Norwalk: We
’ can’t retI'n' from expressing the regret that
the-buildi'h is not to be put upon the corner
fi‘ontingthe' railroad crossing. Were it so
located and” set back ten or twenty feet, for‘
more side walk space, with a frontage on
both Might-and Washington streets, it would
be vastly. more conspicuous and showy,
while in the Opera Hall feature, it would
eclipse'hnything in town, inasmuch as it
could thus secure light and ventilalion on
all fqpr sides for its upper story. Then
again an entrance could be gained from both
. streets while its stores on the ground floor
would be unsurpassed for beauty and show
iness. Can’t this yet be done.

E‘The past week has been prolific of
sleigh-riding parties. On Wednesday night
a party of sixty or more of Norwalk 'ladies
and gents made a raid on Mine Host Frank
Fielder of the Stamford House 'and were
sumptuously entertained. On Friday even-
ing a staid, cold water party did likewise
and came home singing psalms, and prais-
’ es to Fielder. In fact about all the week,
the raid was kept up and if this cold snap
continues, he will have half our town over
there before the snow-season ceases.
Several parties,have also visited Bridge-
port, and one, especially, returned very en--
thusiastic in their praises of the “Sterling
House”. Mine host Wilson succeeded ad-
mirably, as he always does, in entertaining
and pleasing them; his holstery has justly
become the most popular resort in this vi-
cinity for sleighing parties. '
A number of parties also have been trying
to find their evening’s pleasure in towns to
the North of us. One large party went so
far or stayed so long, that they did not get
back home again until sunrise the next day.
Did they lose themselves l or, was it because ‘
they were so well entertained by our coun-
try cousins that they had to again hurry ofi‘
at early dusk to have their ride over.
Several parties have arrived at our local
hotels during the week, from neighboring
towns.
Fauna—This season has proved no ex-
ception to the general run of destructive
fires every winter, the origin of which are
shrouded in mystery. .With some experi-
ence in building ourselves and more in the
way of observation, we are convinced that,
a great many unexplainable fires originate
fiom the carelessness of masons in their
construction of chimneys. It is next to im-
possible to gets. modern mason to lay the
brick of a chimney solid in mortar, even
. though it be cut a single thickness of four
- ‘inches of brick. Then if ordered to be
smoothly mortared all over its inner face,few
will do it properly and securely. We are
confident the old St. John Store where
James’ Block now stands,was thus destroy-
ed and doubtless many others. Too much
care cannot be exercised in building chim-
neys. _
m...
NEW BANK—We learn that “ Woody”
has conceived a fiction for a new Bank at
South Norwalk. Four friends offer to join
him in putting up $100,000 apiece and with
a" capital of half a million and a monopoly
of the deposits which they feel sure of get-
ting, they could do a most prosperous 'busi- ~do d
ness even as a State Bank. There can be no
mistaking the advantages such an aggrega-
tion of capital would confer upon N orwalk.
Another purpose is said to be to accommo-
date customers, and confine the rates of dis
count to ,8 per cent, the.zruling rates of
other banks. " .

[3' Mr FrankyA.Ferris"i-h jtravelingout
West, and we areindebted .to' him for copies
of Chicago and other-Western journals;
wThe present is'the coldest spell of“
weather we have had this winter. On Sun
day and Monday the sun was out bright
and warm but the thermometer indicated
about six degrees above zero, at the highest.
Saturday and Sunday evenings were clear,
bright and beautiful, but very cold, the ther-
mometer falling several degrees below zero.
Sleighing threatened to leave us during the
week, but the cold weagher saved it and it
continues very good. A trifle more snow
would make it splendid.
[3‘ During this pe’riod of severe weather
it is a comfort to know that our Selectmen
will look after those dependent upon public
charity for food and fuel. While there are
_a few who, no doubt, squander their aid for
rum, there are others who are worthily
poor, and such will not be forgotten.
The Aims House is a cause of especial so-
licitude to the Board, from its entirely inad-
equate appointments and capacities. It did
very well when our population was four or
five thousand,butnow that we number over
twelve thousand it is totally unfit for its use
and really discreditable to the Town. We
propose,in some future number, to give our
'rcaders a partial insight him this home of
our destitute poor where demented, deprav-
ed and‘ insanemen, women and children are
perforce all huddled together.
WWe had a very narrow escape from a.
terrible confiagration on Sunday night last.
About 7 o’clock some of the tenants .in
James’s building discovered smoke issuing
from apartments occupied by Mr. R. Bern:
hard. They rushed in and. found the bed
on fire but succeeded in putting out the
flames before much damage was done. Mr.
Bernhard had an insurance of $700 on Fur.
niture, $100 on wearing apparel, and $200
on piano. If thejfire had not been prompt-
.ly discovered, there is no knowing what the
result,would have been, for with everything
frozen hard and the thermometer .below
zero, it would probably have been impossi-
ble for the fire department to have rendered
much service.

V Grace Greenwood’s Lecture.
‘It may not be known to all our readers
that this distinguished lady, who is to lec-
ture to us on Wednesday evening in Look-
weod’s Hall, has a natural right und quali-
fication to discourse on “ Yankee Life and
Character,” being ,“ to the manor born.”
“We learn from “ Goodwin’s Notes” that
Thaddeus, Clark, (one of the sons of John,
an old resident of Lebanon) was the father
of Sarah Jane Lippincott”-—-‘Grace Green-
wood’ of Washington, D. C. '
The Clark family are descended from Dan-
iel Clark, one of the first settlers of “Ancient
Windsor ;” whence, one of the branches
was early removed to Lebanon. The late
Governor Bissell’s mother was of that
branch :—whence his Christian name. So
that the old town, which has furnished to
Connecticut so many governors, may claim'
a birth-right in this graceful writer and
lecturer. -
WThe New Haven Register broadly in-
timates that the nomination of John Ken-
drick for Congress in the 2d District will
very likely result in a loss of Gov. English’s
re-cleetion. “ Mor’n likely, mor’n likely,
Mr.Weller.” But then isn’t that a rough way
to support the “regla'r” nomination though?

ging, showing a large. increase of business
over previous years. As a “remarkable co-
incidence” we mention simply that this in-
creased and constantly enlarging business
prosperity dates from lhetime that they con-
,tracted to put in one of their steam engines

obliget emselves and the public, by attaching an
iron railing foot bridge to their contemplated new
iron track way 'across our harbor? Ono similar to
that at Bridgeport would bejustthe'thinp—Norualb
No you don’t. .Bridgeportbuilds her own
foot brid es, .to accommodate her own citi-
zens, an don’t ask any railroad company
to do it for her. If our Norwalk neighbors
are anxious to have an “iron railin foot
bridge” “similar to that at Bridgeport, ’ they
can easily secure one, by following our ex-
ample, and building it themselves—Stan.
r . ' '
W Just as we expected. We had heard
it claimed for the railroad that they had built
that foot bridge, but never could fully be-
lieve it. While we can’t see any particular-
ly good reason why they shouldn’t do such a
thing, we know on general principles, that
it isn’t “in their way” to create any good
will towards themselves by special acco’m-’
mOur generous-hearted citizens will do
well to remember that charity begins at
home,” and provide for the poor, and depra-
ved at our own doors before sending contri-
butions abroad. “Home MissiOnai-ies” are
needed to visit every part of the town, and
especially such places‘as the Alms House,
tircly overlooked by all classes of citizens.
The poor here it is true, are' furnished with
provisions by the town, but are entirely
destitute of Biblés and reading matter of any
kind, and many of the little comforts of life
which could be easily secured for them by a
little effort. - . ~

WSO much has been said about that
“Town Supper,” and its being “paid for by
generous outsiders,”&c., that it is no more
than fair that the general public should
know the truth, of the matter.‘ For years
past it has been the custom of our town
oflicials to meet at the Norwalk Hotel as
guests of the Board of Belief and partake of
a Supper, the expense of which was paid by .
the town. Of late years invitations have
been: rather more humorously extended
including citizens especially interested in
town afi'airs. This year the supper was‘held
as usual, but mine host Bartlett hardly made
his fortuneby furnishing it, for his entire
bill amounted to,the sum of'$36.00, only.
Several of the officers who are making a
special effort to conduct town affairs ece.
nonically this year, proposed to raise the
amount by subscription instead of paying
it from' the treasury. Selectman Selleck
paid the bill, and so far has received the
sum of $26 in subscriptions of from one to
five dollars each, a small part of which sum
.was contributed by several persons who
were not present at the supper. Mr. Selleck
does not complain at being thus obliged to
pay more than one-fourth of the entire
amount, but seems glad to get ofi‘without
larger less. Hereafter, we presume, the
supper will be paid for as it should be, by
each individual partaker. ‘ . ,
W An adjourned meeting Of the County
Agricultural Society is to be held in Look-
wood's building on Wednesday morning, at
which their time for holding the next Fair

and should be well attended.

The power conferred on the cashier in-

a check as he has to receive the money of
the depositor, as the power is inherent in the
ofiice. The cashier is the executive ofilcer
of the bank and conducts all its financial op-

have a right to rely upon the integrity of its
officers when acting within the apparent
sphere of their duties, and the bank is bound
accordingly.
Mnssnns. EDITons—I find the above in
the New York papers. The above is a case
strongly relied on by the Bethel Bank in
their late trial with the Pahquioque Bank.
And by the foregoing it appears that this
decision made by the Circuit Court in
Massachusetts has been set aside and over
ruled by the Supreme Court at Washington,
but the Pahquioque Bank did not base their
claim for recovery ontho check signed by
Judd, cashier, of the Bethe] Bank, but mais-
ted on their right to recover on the original
consideration for which the checks were
given, and the Supreme Court of Connecti-
cut decided thus in favor of the Pahquioque
Bank. ~
It would seem that this decision of the U_
S. Supreme Court was worthy o e atten-
tion of the Hatter’s Bank, and is decisive of
the points involved‘ in their controversy,
might warrant the proper persons in putting
an end to the continuation of an already ex-
tended and expensive controversy in which
so many people in both Banks are interested.

w The Independent has been giving
“some interesting facts tabout the Oyster
trade of Norwalk” which has been copied
into the State papers. Among other "facts”
the editor gravely states that “twenty years
ago,1851, the harbor contained scarcely oys-
tcrs enough to supply one family” and that
“three men obtained a precarious livelihood
by catching a few oysters, lobsters, fish and
clamsr" also that “ most of the bivalves
consumed in those days were obtained from
Long Island and other places”. These
facts will prove specially interesting to the
“oldest inhabitant”. Why man, Norwalk
oysters are 'of native growth and were
famous the world over before your great-
grahdfather ever ', saw the light of day.
They have been the delight of white men
for‘ two hundi'ed and fifty years, and kept
the red man from starvation for no knowing
how long. They are as old as the hills lit-
erally, and for all we know were the first
bivalves created asthey are universally ad-
mitted to be the but. How long they have
been known to the world is‘ uncertain, but
as history records that Cleopatra dissolved
pearls of rare value for a certain dinner, it
is not impossible they were famousin her

Tortlw Editor of the Gazette. , ’
Sm: Any paper published now without
something on Santo Domingo, ‘would be out
of order. I have just received withpmy
Make and papers left behind at Santa Do-
mingo, a copy of my letter to the New York
Times on the career Of- Bafez, written a. few
days after his downfall in 1866, which ac-
quires additional interest at this time by
reasOn of the relations of our- government
with him; and will, I think, well repay its-
re-publication ' while so much attention is
being drawn to that interesting and historic
country by our Government and people; as
well, also from the fact that another crisis“
in the history of that ill-fated country seems
to be impending. And ,I have a personal
interest, too,,in having this letter re-appear.
You will recollect, being present yourself,
that General Babcock stated before the
Committee, that Cazneau told him I had
denounced President Baez in the New York
papers‘, “as being an illegitimate son, and
things of that kind, attacking his family.”
I have looked over all those published let-
ters, and find no allusion whatever to his
domestic relations or those of his, family.
It was only his public character that I had
to do with, as it affected my interests, and
which I commented upon, aslin duty bound,
in giving a history of the revplution against
him, and his political career, to the journal
of which I was a correspondmt. I do not
think any one will say, after reading it over,
that I abused the privileges of a foreigner,
by'anything contained theréin, Baez having
then been deposed a second; time by his
countrymen. Surely he has sins enough to
atone for without including those of, his pa-
rents; and I am surprised atithe indiscre-
tion of General Babcock in mentioning this
unfortunate circumstance of his birth, while
endeavoring to defend his course before the
Committee. My own feelings would rather
prompt me to honor him the more, for hav-
ing so far overcome the stigma attached to
his birth, if'I believed, as he pretended to,
that he was Chief Magistrate of his country
by his own'merit, and 'by the will of a ma-
jority of his countrymen. , .
'If all my predictions in regard to that
country have not been verified, it is to be
attributed, chiefly, to my having under es-
timated the audacity of Baez; for who
could then have imagined he would ever
seek or accept an alliance with, or protec-
tion by the United States Government, after
having dendunced Cabral for having mani-
fested a'dispositiOn to do so, and used that
as a war-cry in his circulars sent through
the country to break up his Government.
Why, such, vile hypocrisy as this would give
satan himself a vomit. [DAVIS HATcIr.
SANTo DOMINGO CITr,
June 6th, 1866. .}
I have refrained from any public commu-
nication on the political affairs of this coun-
try since the election Of Mr. Baez to the
Presidency, -as I wished to see what policy
he adopted, and the probabilities of his rec-
onciling all the discordant elements aroused
, by hismal-administration of. the Govern-7
ment during his two previous brief terms in
the Presidency, and his inconsistent course
during the occupation Of his country by
Spain, before committing myself to one side
or the other. As he‘ had hitherto shown so
»much opposition to American connections,
so anti-republican in spirit, and had beeh so
discourteous to citizens" of the United States
—opposing all projects submitted by them
for developing the resources of the country
—I did not join in the public reception giv-
en him On his arrival here; and neither did
I attend his inauguration, although invited
to do so. And neither did I join with those
who refused to become reconciled to his elec-
tion because it was illegal and effected by
force, and denounce him without giving him
an opportunity to prove the sincerity of his
new-made promises. Making .due allow-
ance for the Outrage upon the rights and
sensibilities of a large majority of the intel-
ligent portion of the people, I counseled .ad-
hesion, as many a private letter of that pe-
riod will bear witness.‘ I gave him' credit
for hincerit’y when he assured me on my
first visit to him, thathe had seen his error
in opposing American interests during his
two previous administrations, and should
in future encourage them; as well, aldo, in
other promises of reform. It, however, soon
became apparent that he had not changed
for the better,and thathis countrymen w5uld
not long submit 'to his despotic and selfish
rule, but I deferred writing from time to
timethat I might give something definite,
or at least something encouraging as to the
future of this interesting-country. The 'cRy
having been closely besieged several days
by General Pimentel, Mr. Baez made a hasty
retreat from the palace to the French con-
sulate at midnight of the '28th ultimo, es-
corted by the Britishand French Consuls
to escape violence, where h . till remains.
”Having seen some letters , tten here just
after Mr. Seward’s visit, published in New
York, conveying erroneous impressions of
the political state of the country, of Mr.
Baez’s popularity, his capacity to govern
the country, and the probabilities of his
continuing at the head of the Government—
. evidently intended to deceive our govern-
ment and people, as is now shown by the
events which have occurred since. I pro
pose'to relate the circumstances under which
Mr. Baez obtained the'Presidency, and the
reasons why he has been so soon deposed,
which will, no doubt, interest many in the
United States; especially as these events _
have followed so soon after the recognition
of the Dominican Republic by our Govern-
ment, and the proposition to establish diplo-
matic relations with it. Mr. Baez served
out‘ an unexpired term in the Presidency
which terminated in 1858, and managed by
fraud and intrigue to attain the position
again in October 1856. Three months after-
wards the pebple manifested their dissatis-
faction with his rule, and justified by the
fraudulent manner in which he obtained the
‘ofilce, revolted, and his authority was soon
limited to the city. Having a. few small,
vessels at his command, and a considerable .
ampunt in the treasury, he was enabled to
hold the city some months, protected by
its walls and fortifications, but was finally
obliged to capitulate, which event was
hastened by the intervention of the United
States steamer “Colorado” for a premedi-
tated insult to our flag by Baez. ‘He retired ’
to France and remained quiet until after the
annexation of his country to Spain, when
he again showed his want of patriotism by
adhering to that act, although effected by
his inveterate political enemy, I Santana;
and in accepting a Field Marshal’s cOmmis-
sion in the Spanish army in consideration of
his acquiescence and silence. And in con-.
tempt of the foeling’s’of his countrymen, he .
held on to his honors und emoluments during
all their protracted struggle in regainingtheir
independence—even until six weeks after
the Spanish Cortes annulled the decree of
annexation and ordered the evacuation of
the country. And in his letter to tho Queen,
dated June 15, 1865, resigning his commis-
sion, he again outraged the feelings of his
countrymen by justifyingthe aét of annex-
ation, his seeming regret at its failure, and
in uncalled-for expressions of “‘ regard for
her august person and the noble Spanish
nation,” with whom they had been fighting
so long'and so desperately to be separated
from. He then immediately set about in-
triguing for the Presidency again, for Which
the death of Santana had made an opening,
and while yet in Europe appointed his se-
cret agents in this country, furnishing them
with some money and prommny a great deal »
’more‘, with otherfconsiderations, in case of
success. By such means be secured a con-
siderable number of the unscrupulous and
ignorant in different sections of the coun-
‘=‘.I'; and while the Convention.

the direct veto Of'the people,-and not as
provided for in the Constitutio'n'then under
consideration by‘the Convention,_ that the
first President should be elected by the Con-
vention according to the universal practice
up to that time, and subsequently by the
direct vote of the people. V This was_con-
sidered proper and necessary to avoid loss
of time in organizing a Government; and
in the then distracted state of the country
the people were not in a condition to exer-
cise the right of universal suffrage for the
first time intelligibly. Mr. Cabral, the chief
of the provisional Government, wishing to
avoid bloodshed, and thinking negotiations
might be effected and the insurgents ap-
peased afterwards, and probably, too, he
had not suspected the Convention could be
constrained by any such means to vote for
Mr. Baez, allowed them to enter the city.
Their evil designs were then made manifest.
Their chief, a most consummate villian
named Pedro Gui ermo, who had assumed
the command wit out the authority of any
organization; overawed the Convention by
the terror of his armed men, and compelled
the members to vote for Baez for President.
And though there were but five of the dele-
gates in his favor, such was the fear of vio-
lence that the vote was unanimous. M11
Cabral resigned and,Guillermo elected Pro-
tector by his oWn direction, to administer
the Government until the arrival of the
President elect. Mr. Baez arrived here on
the 2d‘of December, and received a more
cordial welcome from all parties than could
have been expected, considering the circum.
.stances under which the election had been
effected. He immediately sent for the prom-
inent men of the Santana party, his old po-
litical adversaries, and made oventures of
conciliation to them, so well disguised by
his illusory promises of reform, and an en-
tire change in his political programme, and
in the administration of the Government,
that many accepted them in good faith, and
the people of the city and vicinity generally,
seemed disposed to give him another trial.
They were tired of commotion and strife,
and the condition of' the country had been
reduced to the last extremity by the severe
and, protracted struggle with Spain, that
evenhis most inveterate political enemies
were inclined to submit to his Government
again, and would no doubt have done so if
to their submission, degredation and extor-
tion had not been attempted. Some argued,
and plausibly too, that since his last brief
term of Office he had passed‘eight years in
Europe, which time had probably been im-
proved in studying the art of governing;
and that for his own interests and to se-
. cure the permanence of his government, he
would endeaOr to administer it for the good
'of the whole, and not as before for his own
and his family’s benefit; and that he would
be more lenient towards those who differed
from him.

Bmomar, Dec. 9,1876.
Masons. Una: Bm, Nonwsax,
Gentlemen :—I feel that I owe you a debt of grati-
tude for the great relief I have experienced from the
use of your Dr. J. Buonax’s er. I have
long been'a sufierer from some distressing disease of
the Kidneys, and could obtain no relief or comfort
from an ing till I heard of this, and gave it a trial,
valthoug I have employed doctors at home and
and taken every remedy advertised or recom-
menfle to cure the complaint. '
My case was a stubborn one and I began to des-
pair of ever tting better when I saw your adver-
tisement in e Almanac and went to the drug store
and got a box ofit. My limbs and feet were then .
terri iy swollen, and so soft and doughy that the
pressure of my fin rs in the flesh would eave a hole
as if I had made e same in putty. Mv back pained
me terribly night and day; In appetite was gone°
my tongue burned; my face 0 and waxen, and
began to believe as m fHenfls told me, that I was
“ soon going.“ or.” commenced the use of the
Extract, alt ough I had but little confidence in i? I
had tried so many things: and havonow taken it or
'ebout one month. and used up two boxes, and I am
so relieved and improved by its use that I feel like a
new man. The swelling in my limbs has nearly all
gone, and the flesh is much more as it on t to be;
my appetite is better; I feel‘stronger, and am get-
tinfisome color in my face again; and if I keep as
we as I have I am confident I soon shall be a well
man. Ifthls is not encoura‘ng to an invalid, what
is 1 You may well recommend the act as a val-
uable remedy in these-(diseases, and although 1 am
an entire stranger I have taken this liberty o letting -
you know what t is doing for me. I hope it may be
advertised far a (1 near, that others may receive the
benefit from it that I have. Yours, &c.,
