THE CAMPAIGN.
Gov. Buckingham made a very calm and
effective address at South Norwalk on Fri-
day evening last. The opening of the meet-
ng was delayed till after nine o’clock, to
give the Boys in Blue time to return from
their excursion to the Bridge, for the pur-
pose ofescortin g our Tanner company down.
The Governor spoke about an hourand was
followed b In Bond, of New Haven, who
completely filled the bill and the evening.
His description of his sensations as a demo-
crat in contemplating a swallowing of Mr.
Greeley,was as rich and mirth provoking as
it was original.
Gen. Kilp‘atriCk addressed the Greeley
men at Lockwood’s Hall Friday evening.
The brilliancy and dash of the old cavalry
raider was fully exemplified. He having to
compete with the Lingards at the Opera
House, did not have so large an auditory as
he otherwise would. We are told that the
General was born in N orwalk, at what is
now known as the James Reed or Staat’s
place, his father having been our village
blacksmith for many years in ye olden time.
Hon. Wm. P. Frye, M. C. from the 26, or
Lewiston District of Maine, addressed the
Republicans at Lockwood’s Hall on Satur-
day evening. It is not saying too much to
affirm that he made the most stirring and
eloquent speech of the campaign. His
argument in opposition to Mr. Greeley was
candid and effective. Mr. Frye has few
equals and no superiors among the rising
young statesmen of our day as a popular
' orator.
The South Norwalk Boys in Blue and our
Tanner company, after marching~ through
the town, filed into the hall and were hearti-
ly applauded. All in all, the meeting was
one of the most earnest and inspiring of the
campaign. -
To “Bridgeport.
The “Boys in Blue,” of South Norwalk,
and the “Norwalk Tanners,” have engaged
Com. White’s steamer to take them to
Bridgeport, on Wednesday evening. They
go to participate inn grand GRANT and
WILSON torchlight demonstration. which is
fobe “the event” of the campaign. Fare
for the round trip only fifty cents, and all
Republicans desiring to join in the excursion
can do so. A grand good time is expected.
The more the merrier. Go one, go all.
The Grand Temple of the I. O. G. T. held
a three days’ session in Military Hall, South
Norwalk, commencing on Tuesday last.
There was a large attendance of delegates,
and much important business was trans-
acted.
Rev. Al pheus Winter was re-clected Grand
Worthy Chief Templar, and Miss Fannie J.
Lord, of Bridgeport, Grand Worthy Vice
Templar for the ensuing year. Oliver
Woodhouse, of Hartford, was elected Grand
Counselor; L. W. Olmstead, of Hartford,
Grand Secretary ; H. B. Brown, of Fair Ha-
ven. Grand Treasurer. Dabuey Carr, of
Bridgeport, ~W. R. Walklcy, of Plantsville,
and Emily A. Rice, of Darien, were elected.
representatives to the Right Worthy Grand
Lodge. It was voted that the salary of the
chief officer be $1,800 per year, which shall
include his travelling expenses.
A wedding at the Town House, attracted
much at_tention,last Thursday evening. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Dor-
sey. The bride and groom were both for-
merly residents of the Sunny South, we
understand, but during thelate unpleasant-
ness thought fit to:remove North, and finally
settled in good old Norwalk. On this happy
occasion they were conveyed to the Hall in
Dana’s beautiful Clarence coach, accompa-
nied by a bridesmaid and groomsman, all
neatly dressed in accordance with the pre-
vailing styles. This was the first time they
had been called upon to act in this capacity,
but they conducted themselves with modest
bearing and bore the honors meekly, espec-
ially when we consider their surroundings.
The colored people present behaved 'them-
selves in a highly creditable mlumcr,but we
are ashamed to say that a large number of
persons present who boast of their white
skins, evinced only ill breeding and disgraced
themselves by unbecoming and disorderly
conduct, which we trust will never be re-
peated upon any similar occasion.
A young man named David Fallon was
walking on the track from Rowayton to'
Norwalk, Saturday noon, when seeing the
down train in front of him he stepped off
onto the up track, and [was soon utter
struck by the 11:30 train out of New York.
The conductor had the poor fellow placed
in a baggage car and brought to our station,
where he was faithfully attended by Drs.
Hill and Higgins. One of his legs was
broken, and his skull fractured. He was
taken to his home in Rowaytou and died
Saturdav evening. then will our people
. comprehend the danger of walking on rall-
road tracks? In Europe the practice is
prohibited by heavy penalties. ‘
Gen. Hawley has been nominated for
Congress by the Republicans of the First

His opponent is the notorious Bill Eaton,
who wishes it distinctly understood that he
stands by his old record instead of swallow-
ing the Baltimore-endorsed Cincinnati plat-
form. The liberals are counted upon to vote
for him, old record and all, in order to show
that they are in “perfect harmony with the
Democracy.” But we have confidence in
the intelligence of the people of the district,
and believe that Joe Hawley will be tri-
umphantly elected.

SOUTH CAROLINA.— UNION. SUNDAY-
SCHOOLS non THE Scorn—A ‘ minister of
the gospel from one of the’ most distinguish-
ed and best families in South Carolina has
declined an urgent call from an important,
church, and accepted a commission from
the American Sunda -School Union to
organize Sunday-schoo s in his native State.
He says :—“'I‘here never was a time (as it
seems to me) when there was so imperative
aneed for Sunday-schools in this State as
now. The majority of the people have be-
come greatly reduced in their pecuniary
resources, and so are employing their
children very closely in the daily avocations
of life—so much so as to deprive them of
the advantages of day-schools, even where
these are possessed; while most, from the
scattered condition of the population, are
not favord with such advantages. Aside,
therefore, from the fact that the Sunday-
school is so necessary to inculcate religious
instruction to the souls of the children, it is
found further necessary in thisscction, at
the present time, to secure for them any in-
struction whatever. I, therefore, feel that,
under existing circumstances. there is
greater demand for Christian effort in this
than in any other department of labor.
Union :Sunday-schools are undoubtedly the
best for a country settled as this is.”—lee
Presbyterian“ '
<.>—-.—————. '
l’rcrnnus.‘—We are educated by our sur-
roundings. Children are deeply impressed.
not only by what they bear, but b what
they see. A prominent New Yor mer-
chant who followcd the sea in early life, re-
marked a. while since—“The pictures in my
father’s study made me a sailor when ten
years of age.” They spoke not through the
ear, but they ‘spoke through the eye, and
gave adircclion to character. Parents do
not think of this as they should. They
should furnish their parlors and sitting
rooms with pictures such as are adapted to
please the eye, refine the taste, and elevate
character. A picture has often destroyed a
soul, and has often been the means of sav-
ing one, which fact should never be lost
sight of in our homes.

long time, was under distress of mind,‘ and
at times almost ready to despair; but at
length he was also brought to a comfortable
experience of forgiving love. Some time
after, meeting his red brother, he thus ad-
dressed him; “How is it that I should be
so long under conviction, when you found
comfort so soon i” “O ,brother,” replied
the Indian, “me tell you : there come along

The American 8. s. Union.
The American Sunday School Union has
organized over fifty thousand Sunday
schools in destitute neighborhoods and
“ Frontier” settlements.
It has gathered into these schools two
millions five hundred thousand neglected
children.
It can point to about two thousand
churches, the outgrowth of itsmission work.
I'm Economx.—It employs men to estab-
lish Union Sunday schools in new and out-
of-thc-way places; visiting and supplying
them with the word of God and other good
books to secure their permanency, and
uniting all the religious elements-iu'efi‘orts
to lead souls to Christ. For every fifty dol-
lars given to the Mission work of this So-
ciety since it was founded, it can show at
least one new Sunday school organized b
its missionaries, including the cost of publi-
cations donated.
It has originated, published and distribut-
ed a sanctified literature, especially adapted
to the moral and religious wants of the
young.
Convnnsroxs.—The records of the Society
show that God has bestowed single bless-
ings upon its labors in the conversion of
multitudes of souls to Christ.
The following incidents are reported by
the Secretary of the Sunday-school Union :
THE Sm.“ Mona—Ala meeting in a
frontier Western settlement several present
were stoutly opposed to the organization of
a Sunday-school. Not being able to agree,
the meeting was breaking up. When the
chairman said he had a very important no-
tice to read to them. Quiet was soon re-
stored to hear this rather novel “ religious
notice.” .
“Strayed—A large black mule. He had
on a batter when he left, and is branded on
the left hip with the letter B. Any one re-
turning said mule will be liberally re-
warded.” .
The, keen Sunday-school Union mission-
ary quickly announced that he also had a
very important notice to give out. ,. , ,
“ Strayed—a number of boys from their
homes. near this place, this ..unpay morn-
ing. They had guns and fishing oles on
their shoulders when they left. hey are
branded, by a Holy God, as Sabbath break~
ers. Any one returning said boys, and
placing them in a Sunday-school, will be
liberally rewarded at the day of judgment."
The tact of that missionary carried the
vote in favor of a Sunday-school, and those
stray boys were duly “ returned” to it.
Sworpnvo son A Tnsunnnr.—“ Say, Mis-
ter, will you swop a testament for some
sugar ?” said a little lad to a missionary of
the Sunday-School Union. “ Iaiu’t got no
money,’ but here’s some cakes of maple
sugar. It’s all I’ve got to give. They are
mighty nice. Will you swop, sir? Mother
wants the book, and I’d like awful well to
get it for her." , ‘
'The swop was made, and turned to so
good an account, by the interest which the
story excited, that 200 little ones in those .
backwoods were each made richer by the
possession of a copy of that same book.—
Even a boy’s two cakes of maple sugar are
not to be despised.

Surname AND Sermons—Ministerial
remuneration in the early days of the great
West was on the worldly basis of all other
matters. As an illustration, we give the
ease of'Rev. Jacob Patch, years ago of'
N othern Indiana. No purer, simpler-mind-
ed mau than he. Thoroughly educated in
literary and theological colleges under New
England influences, he soon adapted himself
to his new work of aiding in Christianiziug
the West. After a few years’, residence in
the land of prairie and forest he began the
building of a house for himself. His way of
paying for shingles might be new to Mr.
Beecher, but was too true with our pioneer
clergy. The good people near the Hog
Creek school-housed: true name) having a
shingle machine, and using its products for
their legal currency, and desiring the servi-
ces of Mr. P., contracted with him to have
him deliver them a certain number of
sermons at the price of a bunch (1000) of
shingles for a sermon. The preaching and
shingles were respectively furnished to the
mutual satisfaction of the high contracting
parties. In' completing the house half a
bunch extra was required. In delivering
his farewell sermon, after relating the good
that had been done, and speaking of their
pleasant relations as pastor and people, he
alluded to their contract, and gave an ac-
count which :showcd the balance {of one-
half-bunch in their favor unpaid for. “And
now, my dear brothers and sisters.” said he,
“I am not owing you for enough shingles to
come to a sermon, but, Providence permit-
ting, I will come over to you at an early
day and hold a, prayer-meeting l” And he
did. The currency for change was satisfac-
tory—Harper’s Magazine.

The Toothpick Factory in Canton, Me,

poplar have been hauled for its use this

Each of the machines used will, it is said,
make five thousand toothpicks a minute.

Here is an extract from a speech delivered
by Senator Trumbull only last September:
“And there is, outside the democratic party,
beating around among the seas, driven for
ten years hither and thither by every wind
of passion, taking a new departure and seek-
ing to find the old ship. If you believe that
they can man her better and sail her more
safely, putthem in possession of her; but if
you think the men who saved her are the
best to steer her safely hereafter into the
haven of peace and prosperity for the Amer-
ican people, then keep themnt the helm.”

All the brickwork above the superstruc-

which will absorb much less.water than
mortar made of caustic lime and sand.
The bricks for a chimney top should he
soaked in water for a few minutes, so that
they will not extract the water from the
lime. In order to have mortar become very
hard, it must dry slowly. >By laying up
wet bricks, the mortar will set slowly, dry

Configure Baptist state Convention.
The ,:
State .h-Convention ‘and Education Society:
held""at Waterbury, Tuesday and Wed'n‘esf‘
days? Maneuver? occasions of much.
more than usual interest. The'weather was
delightful, the attendance large, the hospital-
ity of' the Waterbury people unbounded, and
the harmony and unity of spirit which char:
acterized all the meetings were exceedingly
pleasant to see. One gentleman said he had
attended the convention regularly for thirty
years, and had never witnessed such a
sweet, tender and earnest spirit as was man-
ifested at these meetings. The plan of co-
operation with the Homc Mission Society in -
thc prosecution” of the mission work in this
state, which was adopted last year, was
abandbned by general consent this year, the
experiment not working .to the satisfaction
of those who advocated it, and a return to
the old policy with an increased missionary
force. and with enlarged ideas '05 to 'the de-
mands of the work in the state was adopted.
A committee of twelve was also appointed
by the Convention, to have in charge the
Sunday-school work, with power to employ
a Sunday-school Missionary to labor in this
state. James L. Howard, Esq, the President
of the Convention, was necessarily absent
on account of the death of a daughter. Rev.
Dr. Palmer, of Stonington, officiated in his
place. 7 '
At the meeting of the Educational Society
Wednesday afternoon, the interests and
needs of the Connecticut Literary Institution
at Suflicld we're discussed. $25,000 are
needed at once to finish the building now
being erected in place‘of the cue destroyed
by fire fiveral month's'ago. An effort is also
being made to raiscau endowment fund of
$50,000 for the Institution. I. H.Bromley,
Esq, is President of the Education Society,
and occupied the chair.
The meeting of the Social Union was held
at 6 p. in. Wednesday? in the lecture room
of the church, and the: collation (not “collec-
tion” as you had it last week) to which the
delegates to the Cr nvention and the members
of the Waterbury church were invited, was
held at Hotchkiss Hall at 7. ’
After discussing the good things. spread
upon the tables, Vice-President Hon. Francis
Wayland called the meeting to order,_and
interesting speeches were made by Rev. Drs.
Ives, of Sufileld, Robinson, President of
Brown University, Murdock, of Boston,
Crane, of Hartford, Revs. Bailey, of Water-
bury, Dennisou, of New Haven, Congress-
man Kellogg, 'of Waterbury, and others.
It was a most enjoyable time, and it is
hoped that ,thc measures adopted bythe

assistance of the Social Union, will be so
carried out as to result in the advancement
of the Baptist cause in this state, and the up-

Walk i", ..
On arriving at Norwalk the excursiouists
found everything arranged fora most hos-
pitable rece lion. All were assembled at
the Opera case where they were Welcom-
ed to the freedom of Norwalk by Dr. Hill,
the Rev. Mr. Bissell, and Mr. Byington of
the GAZETTE. The visitors were then ap-
plortioned among the hospltablc people of‘
orwalk for entertainment. During the
four or five hours of their stay they were
dined. driven about the place, and shown
the sights. Among these 'were the fine resi-
dences of Woodward and others of the cele-
brated Tammany Ring; but chief of all, was
the ma nifieeut house and grounds of the
late Le rand Lockwood,probably as final:
private residence as is to be found in the
United States. The rooms are splendidly
finished with a variety of beautiful foreign
and native woods, furnished in the most
elaborate style, hung with pictures and
adorned with statuary. In short it is as
grand an establishment as a million dollars
could provide.
At four the excursion train started on its
return but was unluckily delayed by the
failure of the Dapbury train to arrive
on time, so that it only reached Litehfield
ten minutes ahead of the regular train. All
returned home in the best of spirits, and dc-
lighted with their day’s enjoyment.
' ' It would be imposaible to do 'ustice to the
kindness and hospitality of t c people of'
Norwalk. Not only were the excursionisls
elegantly dined and shown every possible
attention, but the arrangements were so ex-
cellent that there was none of the formal
stiffness and none of the delays and annoy-
ances receptions and unusual crowds are apt
to occasion. The people along the line of
the Shepaug railroad - will always cherish
the remembrance of their generous welcome
at Norwalk, and will no doubt repeat many
times separately the visit they made alto-
gether on Wednesday last. ,
A correspondent of the Enquirer writing
from Washington, adds :—_
Below Bethel the huuouncemeut was
made through each car that Litchfield and
Morris passengers would stop at North Nor-
walk, and Washin ton with all below at
South Norwalk. here were 180 of us at
the latter place. If those who went through
among the people from Washington and
said that they were to be received by the
Mayor and speeches would be called for.
enjoyed selling their word so cheaply, why,
all right, for no one else was hurt. Mistakes
and blunders are inevitable; but “sells” are
simply despicable. Respect is worth too
much to be lost so lightly.
After a little while spent in parcelliug out
the guests, all were marched off to dinner.
One would think by the looks of the tables
that Norwalk expected people of good
stomachs from the mountainous re ions.
We hope that they were not disappomted.
The memory of the good things which swell-
ed in our stomachs, and the kindly feelings
which rose in our hearts, do not require fur-
ther enlargement. Riding, strolling and
shopping Occupied the time till four o’clock.
A party going to Prospect Hill heard some
most delicious music on the veranda of Mr.
Nash’s house. A concert by three instru-
ments, harp, violin and flute, was a beauti-
ful a thing as could be desired. That flute
was entrancing, while listening it required
no stretch of imagination to believe that
Apollo .could draw the trees rocks and
stones, to dance while he pla ed. It would
require a little india rubber, owevcr, to see
the handsome god. in the short,downy, thin-
mustached little fellow who warbled away
unccncious of this illustrious predecessor.
Some bad shopping to do, for the yankee
wherever he goes, as in whatever he does,
is always attended by the inevitable demon
of business. His recreations mean business,
hospitality ditto, for it was stated that the
company left in change and credit at least a
thousand dollars behind them, as part of the
day’s enterprise. At four o'clock nearly all
started for home, but delay in waiting for a
down train on the Danbury & Norwalk R.
R. at Branchville put us behind time, so that
we lay at Hawleyville an hour and twenty
minutes, waitingfor the Shepaug down tram.
All seemed pleased with this excursion
and wished every opponent of the road
could ride down and enjoy the hospitalities
of Norwalk, whence they would return and
subscribe forthwith for at least two‘sharcs
of S. V. R. R. stock. -

Save a Little.
Every man who is obliged to work for
his living should make a point to lay up a
little money for that “rainy day” which we
are all liable to encounter when least ex-
pected. The best way to do this is to open
an account with a savings bank. Accumu-
lated money is always safe; it is always
ready to use when needed. Scrape together
five dollars, make your deposit, receive your
bank-book and then resolve to deposit a
given sum, small though it be, once a month,
or once a week, according to circumstances.
Nobody knows without trying it how easy
a thing it is to save money when an account
with a bank has been opened. With such
an account a man feels a desire -to enlarge
his deposit. It gives him lessons in frugal-
ity and economy, wcaus him from habits of
extravagance, and is the very best guard in
the world against imtemperancc dissipation
and vice.
