OmThuysday next, the 28th inst., this
time honored and erst New England festival
Is to be observed thoughout the entire nation,
in obedience to the Proclamation of the
President as well as of the Governors of all
the States. The home-circle and hearth-
stone at many a fireside will be made glad
by the return of wandering kin and the
domestic sympathies and virtues will be
brought into sweet and active exercise. The
devout will assemble at their respective
plate?! of worship, and publicly join-in aIs-
criptions of praise to the Divine Father of
all good for our unnumbered and unde-I
served mercies and blessings. The words
of our ovvn chief executive will find ahearty
response in the hearts of all, when he sug-
gests as causes for our lhankfuluess that “He
has blessed the earth with abundant bar-I
vests, averted pestilence and famine, spared
our State and Nation from foreign war and
domestic dissensions, and blessed us with
prosperity and success beyond our deseer
mg.
It is not needful that we enjoin kindly
I sympathy towards friends and members of
the happy hOusehold. But for the poor, the
needy and the afiljcted, we earnestlerntreat
generous consideration. The Thanksgiving
dinner will be all the more keenly relished
because of the turkey sent the widowed
neighbor. A helping hand and word of ten-
der sympathy to any in want or affliction,
will render the day more enjoyable and
more hallowed in the memory of after years,
while the present joy, of one generous deed
done to any of God’s poor, will inwardly
prove to us all that it is more blessed to give
than to receive.
In this connection we give a most inter-
esting relic‘ of the past, furnished us by
Moses Belts, Esq., of Wilton, in whose fami-
ly it has been carefully 'kept more than a.
century. It is a Thanksgiving Proclamation
issued by Gov. Wm. Pitkin,just one hun-
dred and six years ago—or ten years pripr
to the- Declaration of American Indepen--

Our good Dcmocraticfriend Sam. Daskam
has not enjoyed his usual peace of mind,
since the “unholy alliance” between Cin-
cinnati and Baltimore, and retiring to the.
rear of his .yard late on Saturday evening, as
is his wont, for calm meditation and reflec-
tion, he overheard some boatmen inquiring
where Keeler,Holm‘es.& Co's store was. This
was enough to start the imagination Of.our
friend, for he foresaw robbery, arson, and all
the crimes in. the calender as the possible
results of such investigation. As in duty
bound, he generously started for the Bridge
and gave the alarm. The numerous young
and'thrifty ‘firm was called into confidential
consultation in the rear office. The design
'upon their store was too apparent to be
lightly considered. Two clerks, swiftcst of
limb,'were dispatched to the powder house
fOr an extra keg of villainous saltpetre, all
the old carbines aud~rusty revolvers saved
from the lastwar were brought out and
secured, and loaded to the muzzle with
cartridges and buckshot, and then fiercer
than Hessians, all courageously resolved to
guard their goods tbro’ the weary night,and
defend, to their last extremity, their castle.
At the proper time the lights were quietly
extinfifixhedand'the valiant‘trio of partners,
blun r us in hand, crept cautiously behind
barricades of barrels and bags; This would
have proved simply an exhilerating episode,
had it not been that all the partners had left
wire: at home, whom, in their fright, they
had forgotten to notify of their intended ab-
sence. About midnight, as the story goes,
a gentle and suspicious tapping was heard
at the front door. The Major was the first
to catch the threatening sound, and, bring-
ing his fowling piece to a direct range, or-
dered Kecler to the front. With that cau-
tion and prudence for which he is proverbial,
kept his-barrel in front and approached the.
door, and he was disappointed to find it‘
wasn’t the expected burglar at all, but an
anxious wife investigating the cause of her
husband’s unaccountable absence. Scarcely
had this nervous trepidation been overcome,
when a crash was heard in. the rear 1 The
carbincs were instantly broughtto a'right
shoulder shift, revolvers were thrust into
belts, and cheese knives brandished high in
air, and in solid line the army ofoccupation
charged in the direction of the 'sound. It
was discovered thatDave Comstock was the
cause of the alarm this time. During the
parley at the float door,-he wassuppliment'
ing the time by taking a bite of crackers and.
cheese, and in so doing upset a box of her-
rings on the floor; His escape from in;
stant'death was almost miraculous. Another
scare came from a predacious rat, just before
day-break,bul weary with their all night's
watching, the full orbed sun rose to their
relief, and solemnly and disappointedly each
laid aside his weapon and wended his way
to the bosom of his half distracted family.
This Monday morning it transpires that
their pieces can’t be got off, as so great was
the scare that they 'all'putwad and shot in
first, and filled the remainder of the barrels
with powder. It was indeed fortunate that
no raid was made upon them by the river
carried off to Long Island. I
, But the alarm wits not confined to Keeler,
Holmes &. Co; It spread. with frightful
rapidity all along the line of dock stores.
The proprietor _of the drinking saloon Iad-
joining, resolved rather than have his store
robbed he'd keep open and have everything
he had to take some of it himself. .
At E. K. Lockwood’s, Sam had been him-
self, and left the forces there in a more dc-
moralized state than at Keeler, Holmes do
Co.’s. E. K. sent for the trusty rifle with
which he had brought down that magnifi-
cent buck way up in the Saguenay-regions
last summer. His first lieutenant, Requa.
was less fortunate; but being a sort of news-
paper'man his resources were equal to the
occasion. Getting, down along. tin dinner
born, he charged it with shot and shell, in—
serting a friction match fora fuse, when
each with a stove poker braced himself back
in his chair awaiting the expected burglars.
The night was long, however, and unusually
slill,,and both would have slept soundly but
for the snoring of the other.
-When Daskam had finished with Lock-
wood he began to think he had got hold of
a pretty ‘fgood thing,” and was seized with
an irresistible desire to make the most of it.
There might be something in it, and if there
wasn’t, it wouldn’tvbe a very bad joke. Joe
Randle had been robbed, and others might
be. Who knew ? So moralizing, he started
for the whilomc merchant Prince, of the
“Old Bridge Store." No man‘ enjoys the
marvelous mere than C. J ., but to Daskam’s
most plausible Munchausenisms he.would
constantly oppose—“What on earth'have I
got a thief would want to steal it” Never-
theless a “man’s house is his» castle,” said
Cholwell, and “as a constitutional question
I’ll defend my store to the last drop of
my blood.” The clerk had a trusty revolver,
the only weapon at command, buLC. J. had
read of the efficacy of Quaker guns, and so
_with his yard stick and an empty bottle of
clderberry, he felt he was safe and that he
could scare away the boldest robber with a
belief ‘that his long-necked 'bottle was a
blunderbus. But neither chief or clerk were
disturbed, and soon both were so sweetly
locked in the kind embraces of Morpheus
that probably the whole store might have
been cleaned out without waking'either.
A scare is as bad as an epizootic for
spreading, and again Sunday night 'half the
stores in to win were lighted up and guarded.
An-unusually- brilliant light attracting our
attention in Frank Head’s at a late hour, we
sought the cause, When we found I,the enter-
prising and prudent proprietor. had secured
the protection of Chief Bartram, who was
“sitting up with .him," with an apparent
resolution to stay as long as the mince pie
held out.
All in all, this village scare was an un-
precedented success. And the bestpart of
it all is, that. after revealing the plot he so
accidentally. overheard, with eyes larger
41pm onions, Daskam now swears it was all
a “sell.” If it was, the most perplexing con-
nundrum of all is, “who was the worst sold I”
It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good,
and Ed. Northrop will be kept busy a week
boring out the charges put in wrong end
first, andIgetting the piécesiu Order for any
future raids from Daskam's river thieves.

There are 3,500 scholars in the several

’our present mode of conducting our town
schools so that a-child living in any part of
the town may avail itself of thebest educa-
tional facilities afforded by any school in

acceptible change to many, without any
material increase of the total expenditures

grave and sedate judge finally loosing all
patience with the witness spoke, and pretty
sharply, commanding him. to “speak, to say
something.” The witness half turning his
head towards the judge and with an impu-
dentlear blurted out “you’re a d—d -old
rascal.” The judge thunderstrnck and
amazed at the audacity of the witness ex-
citedly called for an ofiicer to arrest the man
for contempt of court, but the prosecuting
lawyer instantly interposed with "dont do

Roisnunv.—On Wednesday night last the
store of J. C. Randle, of Winnipauk, was
broken open and about three -hundred dol-
lars worth of goods taken out. .These were
loaded into Mr. Raudle's own we ’
his horse stolen from the stable and tched
to the vehicle, which was driven'the same
night to New Hope, near Stamford, where
the poor horse was turned loose on the high-
way. The animal was a valuabIe one, and
was. just recovering from the prevailing
horse distemper, and so cruelly was be
driven that Mr; Bundle has not yet been
able to get him home. i‘ The horse is proba-
bly ruined. The pntrance to the store was
effected by means of a bit and chisel stolen
a few nights previous from the Smith &
Jones’ carriage shop in Ridgefield. Three
men, supposed to be the burglars, were also
seen to come‘ out of a barn in Wilton the
morning of the day of the robbery. The
goods stolen must have made quite a load
and were no doubt placed in boxes and
barrels, as several of these. were also taken.
We wish our old-time thief detective asso-
ciation could here—formed. Or, better still,
that our next legislature would authorize
the Selectmen of any town so visited by
these burglars to order their instant pur-
suit. In the case of Mr. Randle, he can ill
afford to hear his heavy loss, and now spend
more money in a perhaps fruitless effort to
discover the. thieves. Yet his case is the
cause of the public, and every citizen has an
interest in the arrest and conviction of the
villains. '
Our effective police has probably prevent-
~ed any very serious recent .raids of these
thieves about the Bridge, but all the outly-
ing districts of 'the town are expored, and
something should be done in the way of ae'
curing mutual protection.

Avisit to the studio of Miss Esther L.
Smith in the Franklin County Bank build-
ing, is a pleasant half-hours treat. Miss
Sara J. Smith, the teacher of drawing at
the High School and of paintin and draw-
ing at the Prospect Hill Schoo , is a sister,
and both are very fine artists, The latter
has her time so much occupied with teach-
ing that she finds but little opportunity for
other work,.while the former i kept busy
in her studio laboring diligently upon or-
traits, fancy sketches, landscapes, etc. he
walls of the room are adorned 'with her
ictures, and among themare several famil-
Iar scenes and faces. The beautiful She -
herd dog, “Jack,” at Seward & Willards
has here been transferred to canvas, as large
as life and portra ed with remarkable truth
and perfection. he is now engaged upon
a fancy piece, “Only Waiting,’ -. m‘ which
will be recognized the familiar form -of a
much réspectedgenlleman of our village.
Several of our best citizens have availed
themselves of this opportunity of securing
piortraitsrand are warm in their praises of
tea Smith’s superior skill. Here are exhi-
bited beautiful landscapes. One by Miss
Sara, of an autumn View of the hill near
the cemetery, with Pocumtuek and Sugar
Loaf in the distance, is .veryfine indeed.
There are many lovely views in the vicinity
of our ‘village, and we hope the Misses
Smith will find time from their other duties
to place them upon canvass, Greenfield is
favored by their residence among us, and
we trust that their excellent taste and - skill
will be recognized and appreciated as they
deserve.” ,

G. Boyd, of Sweetwater, East Tennnessee,
which would make acapital plot for Charles
Reade if he knew enough of the scenery,

itthe necessary local coloring. 'Boyd was a
claim agent, and had made a considerable-
fortnne in that business, besides acquirin _ a
reputation not altogether spotless.
United States Attorney for that district had~
his attention called to-‘Boyd’s proceedings,
and found evidence enough of' misconduct
to furnish material for twenty-two indict-
ments for making up and presenting to the
department fraudulent claims and other
kindred offenses, on each of which he was
held to bail in‘ the sum'of $2,000. Mr. Boyd
did not wish to be tried on these charges,
and in order to escape it his ingenuity and
impudence prompted him to write a letter to
President Grant asserting his innocenc

be expensive tothe government and himself,
and suggesting that the president should

The fl'iends reappeared three
days after with a shocking story that they
had been attacked, seized and bound by five
masked men, who shot Boyd and burned
his body, and, after keeping the two friends
bound for same hours, at last released these.
Search in the place indicated revealed the
remains of a human body so far consumed
that identification was impossible. They
were gathered'up by Boyd’s relatives and
buried with the usual funeral ceremonies.
'I‘hc Masonic lodge of which Boyd was a.
member, however, declined to perform their

The Litchfield Enquirer in an ext Ied
review of our unequal Legislative repr sen-
tation, and in advocacy of the calling of a
constitutional convention, concludes - thus:
“But,asidc from the system ‘of misrepra
acntation that prevails in both Houses‘of the
Legislature, there are other constitutional
troubles that press for amendment. The
Capitol nuisance, which wastes the time of
our representatives every year, is very like-
ly to result, in the end, in a. worse slate of
t e people’s money. We trust that a con-
stitutional convention would make our ex-
ecutive something more than the mere
figurewhead he now is. The portioning
power, judicial apointments, a real veto,
the appointment of commissions should be.
given to the governor, and half the petty
bargaining that lengthens and weakens our
legislative sessions should be ended forever.
The only consideration that at all recon-
ciles us to a postponement of rcfbrm is the
fear that the time has not yet come for the
adoption of any adequate plan of minority
representation and that infinitely greater,
juster reform to which Republicanism mu‘st
soon come—Woman Suflrage."
