OUR CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.
The Congressional convention for our
Fourth District which convened last week
put in nomination Hon. GEORGE COFFING of
Salisbury. Mr. Coiling was a member of the
Statejiegislature in the year 1860, but being
more especially a man Of large business con— -
nections, he has not been so prominently be-
fore the people of the District as his 'merits
and qualifications would have justified. He
is largely interested in the Iron interests of
Litchfield county and in this regard, as in
most Others, he is considerably in advance of
his competitor Wm. H. Barnum. He has al-
ways been a most earnest and liberal sup-
porter Of the Republican cause, working for
and contributing to its successes, from a pa
triotic devotion to its principles. As a citi-
zen, no man stands higher in the esteem of
his fellow men. All who know him, of
whatever political faith, accord to him high
personal character, integrity, liberality and
active, energetic public spiritedness. He is
no ofiice—scekcr, but is one of those practical,
common sense,self-made men,the countryfso
much needs in Congress. His election will
prove one‘of those fortunate circumstances
for which not only our own district but the
whole nation may heartily rejoice, Proba-
bly no man in the district could have been se-
lected, whose nomination will so thoroughly
demoralizc the confidence of our opponents.
He is the fellowrtownsman of MLBarnum, is
even more largely engaged in the-manufacto.
are of Iron than he, and conceded to be a su-
perior and more successful business man
than our present Representative in Congress.
Moreover, he has beaten the Iron Barnum in
several local contests hitherto and now that
his arena has been extended over the two
counties, his friends afilrm that he will again
give his Opponent another most uncomforta-
blc taste Of his quality: A thorough canvas
and energetic work will make hiscause and
I election sure. ’ I '

DISTRESSING EVENT.
Sudden Death of Two Ladies.
, Our community has again been shocked
by one of those harrowing events, which
bring a shudder to every heart. Mrs. Maria
Ogden, daughter of the late Samuel P. Ran-
dle, of Wilton, long a resident Of,Westport,‘
was with her daughter, visiting her sister,
Mrs. Stephen H. Smith, in Philadelphia. A
daughter of Lewis H. Randle, of Wilton, a
young and most interesting girl of sixteen,
was also a member of Mr. Smith’s tamily,
and attending school in Philadelphia: Misst-
Randle had been taken alarmingly ill, and
at the time of the accident was apparently
dying. Her aunt, Mrs. Ogden, was prepar-
ing a fomentation with hot alcohol, and
while holding the vessel Over the gas jet tO
heat the alcohol, it suddenly igniied,-set-
ting her clothing on fire. She ran directly
from the sick room, but before the flames
could be extiNguished' she was terribly
burned, and after a few hours of intense suf-
fering expired. Miss Randle soon after died-
The remains Of the two ladies were.
brought home on Friday. Mrs. Ogden was
buried at Westport, on Saturday, and Miss
Carrie Raudle at WiltOn, on Sunday. Mrs.
Ogden was a widow lady and leaves one
daughter, we believe, to mourn her untimely
and distressing death. She was a lady of
energetic character, active in every good
work, and her loss will'be deeply lamented
in Westport society. Miss Carrie Randle
was a young lady of fine promise, beloved
by all who knew her, and had accepted the
invitation of her relatives, to finish her edu-
cation in Philadelphia.
have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community in this their double and distress-
ing bereavement.

@1116 following, furnished as by one
who served in the army during the rebel-
lion, will be found Of general interest :— ‘
t‘ Leaving out deserters, of whom there
we 59, Norwalk sent to the front 651 en-
listed men, 84 of whom died _at the front in
their line of duty; 109 were wounded more
or less severely; 30 were injured for life
while upon special duty and long marches.
. We are sorry to say that there is no record
of the names of the 651 enlisted men upon
the Town Records. There should be, at
least, a'record of those who gave up their
lives for the holy cause. Norwalk must
honor her dead soldiers, more than one-half
of whom sleep in graves upon battle-fields
all over the late rebellious states, and many
of,them in unknown graves. What shall
be done by the citizens Of this ancient town
that the memories Of those who fell in bat-
tle may live? This we can and should do:
record in granite or marble the names and
heroic deeds of our fathers, sons and bro‘th-
ers whOsc mortal remains are mouldering
in the dust all over’ the South. This is a
duty as binding upon the survivors of the
war as any that we owe to kindred who
have passed away from earth. It is a great-
er thty, for they ,died for others and for
country. We appeal to' the soldiers of Nor-
walk to commence immediately a move-
ment, the Object of which shall be to con-
summate on next Decoration Day, a plan to
secure funds to £139! a monument to our
heroic dead.”

CAN’T SEE IT.——0ur green-eyed friend of
that puny sheet, the Danbury News, re-
cently made a‘delibcrate statement that “ In
Norwalk," that highly prosperous town,
there are thirteen first-class stores standing
vacant, and without any prospect of being
rented,” etc. Of course this cheerful item
was'gobbled up by every editor in the State
and printed in every paper as a most grati-
fying fact. Now we may be unusually stu
pid,but we fail to find in that item any pun
orfun, or anything else but an outrageous

The Haytien‘ minister at Washington, has
Mr. Fish, in which it accuses Mr. H. of too

' ing the President a terrible scourging for
exercising-unwarranted powers in protecting
Baez in his usurped authority, &c. If we
were General Grant, we should want to be
delivered from such “ sup orters’,’ as the
Evening Post, and yet we a prehend a ma-
jority of the “ dear people” are of the Post‘s
way of thinking. So far as our fellow
townsman, Mr. Hatch, is related 0, and has '
been treated in thisfianto Domingo contest,
it is simply outrageous. Mr. Hatch is a
gentleman of as thorough culture, of as un-
sullied character as Hon. Hamilton 'Fish, or
“any other man.” Indeed, Mr. Hatch was
for many years, a communicant at the same
:hurch with Mr. Fish, and ought to be bet
ter known by our Secretary, as he could
supplyhis lamentable want of information
concerning that interest-ing Island. Mr.
Hatch has never interfered with the domes-
tic‘ concérns of Dominica. Has never as-
serted himself a citizen of Spain; as falsely
charged. Has never acted as,Port Warden.
Has never interfered in the Babcockschemc
of annexation, except in so far as to state
the historic truth that ,Baep is a usurper;
that Cabral is the legal President of the Is-
land. That Cabral is its ruler by the popu-_
lar suffrage of its inhabitants, and Baez rul-
er dc facto by his own sell-assertion and
support Of our navy. At the” time, the Bab-‘
cook scheme of annexation was ripening
Mr. Hatch was the victim Ofa conspiracy on
the part of Baez, with a purpose to sacrifice
his- life by imprisonment, and before he had
left Dominica our Senator Ferry innocently
introduced his resolution for indeminity,and
of which Mr. Hatch knew nothing. Here
instead of getting justice for his lOng and
cruel imprisonment, he was actually put on
trial as a culprit, before the Senate special
committee. He has suffered in health and‘
property, and has done nothing amiss" Is
it not lamatable that men high in the coun-
cils of the nation should now desire, by
misrepresentation, to tarnish his good name
.before the nation. Here where he is known
they cannot do it. He has been guilty Of
nothing but sutl‘crlng outrageously, and
bearing it with greater meekness and for-
bearance than most other men would do.
All this is to be regretted, as he is a thor-
bughly honest annexationist, and from his
long residence there and his intimate knowl-
edge with every part Of the Island and ex-
tensive acquaintance Of its people, be 1810'

San-to Domingo affairs, and capable of being
of more service to this government in the

the following letter from that gentleman:
NEW Yonx, lat ab. 1871. .
FRIEND DB. KENDEch: My capital is
completed and in operation. I am grateful
to God in being permitted to. realize ”a long
cherished desire, now abundantly fulfilled.
We shall call it the Strangers’ Hospital.
, Its misbion will be to minister to the af-
flicted, the worthy and friendless, with
moderate compensation or gratuitously, as
the cases present themselves.
The medical staff is Of the best material,
voluntary in their service, of large experi-
ence, eminent in their profession, and
animated with aspirit of genuine humanity.
You well know my aversion to personal
allusions, or self-glorification, aha will shape
your remarks accordingly. '
IfI shall have done anything to assuage
'the sorrow and misfortunes. of those upon
whom sicknesshas laid its heavy hand, by
affording them shelter and rest in the trying
hour of pain and anguish—anything to
soothe the aching head and revive the sor-
rowing soul on its gloomy, desppnding and
friendless road to the spirit-land, I shall be"
amply recompensed by the act. .
If the sweet satisfaction of- using one’s
meansnnd energies during his lifetime in
lightening others’ burdens; and making those
around him‘ happier and better, by kindly
sympathy or timely aid, should be instru
mental in leading others to do likewise in
their day (instead Of- leaving their wealth
for heirs and attorneys to misuse and squan-
der,) I shall fbel doubly recompensed. I
should esteem this lesson my rich and ample
reward-11 mission I devoutly desire: Iask
no other remembrance. ‘ '
Ever your friend,
. ' JonN KEstE.
_ In commentingon this letter, Dr. Kendrick
plainly intim d that he regards it as one
of the best ‘texts’ which it had ever been his
privilege to expound and impound.
He closed his strain of remark with a
' “reference” of this sort‘: “King William of
Prussia, wading through, rivers Ofblood and
tears, has just grasped a’tit’le which belongs
to the founder of this charity by hereditary
and divine right. The German people, the
world over, are. enthusiastically shouting:
‘Long live our KAISER!’ We are not per-
_mitted ternight to about; but with bated
breath we will whisper it—in the depths of
our grateful-and admiring souls we cherish
the loyal sentiment—Long'live our Rayner I"

With the same entire confidence with which we

friends and the general public.
GOLD PAYMENT—Both principal and interest
are payable in American gold coin, at the Ofilce of
J ny Cooke & 00., New York city—the principal at
the end of thirty years, and the interest (at the rate
of seven and three-tenths per cent. per annum) half-

PROFITABLENESS.—0r course nothing can be
safer than the bonds of the United States, but. as the
Government is no longer a borrower, and as the N a-

istence, but that Of DEVELOPING A commas-r, we
remind those who desire to increase their income
