on those who had made no special prepara-
tions for reaming,” well as upon those
who had made hospitable " spreads” of re-
Ifreshifig and good‘cheer. .

Among those Whose “ tables" we have
heard especially complimented we might
name, Mrs. E. K. Lockwood, Mrs. Geo. E.
Miller, Mrs. Frederick Belden, the Misses
Hill, Mrs. Samuel Daakam, Mrs. Frank Bur-
ritt, Mrs. HenryI. Hoyt, Mrs. J. and A. 11.

S. Hanford, Mrs. E. P. Weed, Mrs. Asa
Smith, Mrs. Alfred Knapp, Mrs. E. Adams,
Mrs. Chas. Doty, Mrs. S. Van‘Hoosear, &c.,
M. The spread of Mrs. Geo. W. Cram was
a feature of rare elegance as'well as tempt-
ing display. Mrs. Thos. Morison received
with her well known good taste and abund-
ant hospitality. Indeed, there were but
few families in the whole town that did not
make more 01' less a holiday of the occa-
sion and use up the day' 1n making orre-
ceiving friendly greetings. Only the poor
editor had to plod and delve at his drudgery

iall day. The sleighing was fine and the
gents seemed to enjoy it to the fullest ex-
tent. In one particular we wish'to most
heartily bespeak our gratification at the al~
most universal absence of wines and in-
toxicating liquors from the hospitable
boards of our fair ladies. No fallen man
should ever be able to reproach any we-
man with having put the tempting glass to
his lips and enticed him to ruin.

Gladly do we welcome the restoration of
this most pleasing social custom, and as
heartily do we congratulate our fair ladies
upon the conspicuous stand they have taken
in the way of banishing the intoxicating
bowl front their tables.

Congress reconvened yesterday. It is to
be hoped that the foolish waste of time in
wrangling over the back pay and salary in-
crease, will cease. What the people are far
more deeply concerned about, is an improve-
ment in our finances, and great commercial
interests, and Congress can do much to-
wards the restoration of pulnic confidence
and the revival of busmess.

Eben Hill, Esq, and others has a project
in contemplation for the purchase ofElmen-
truth by the town and City of Norwalk,
provided our oresen‘ local triangular mode

His plan comprehends the as 1c of lots and
reserving the mansior to: Town House,
City Hall, Town. Clerk and Selectmen’s ofil'
ees, Judge of Probate, &c., fits. The pro:
jsct is a magnificent one, and if carried out
as per Mr. Hill‘s programme, it would be a
good investment for our people to make,
butthe times will have to be a little easier
before it can be accomplished.

James Lowe,a fourteen year old son of
George Lowe, cut 011‘ the index finger of his
left hand, at the first joint, on Friday morn-
ing last, while cutting hay in his father’s
machine. Cannot some yankee invent a
simple self-feeding cutter which will posi
tively reject human fingers. Dr. ‘C. P. this
was called and dressed the wound.

A painful accident occurred at Ahern's
blacksmith-shop, Main street, On Wednes-

ddenly commenced kicking. Several chil-

Jimmy Ryan, five years of age, a son of

widow Ryan who lives near the shop, was
struck in the face by the horse’s hoof.
His check was cut through by the iron
spikes, his jaw fractured &c He was pick-
ed up in an insensible condition, and carried
home, where he was treated by Dr. Chic,

and is now doing as well as could be ex-

pected.

We would recommend to Mr. S. H. Alden
of Westport, that he come over and buy of
our Borough authorities, tht’.p Sickles’ hand
fire engine, formerly run by Phoenix Engine
Company of this place. It is a first-rate
..-Jnaohine, in good order, and if he would
buy and keep it on his place it would save
the necessity of hauling on up from West-
port village every few evenings. It might
be a. good investment, for Iin his case it
would seem to be a handy thing to have
about the premises.

In our issue of Nov. 18th we noticed the
fact that the old St. John Place, corner of
Wall and High streets, had becen purchased
by Mr. H. B. Ramsey, of Reading, and that
he contemplated the erection of a fine block
of stores thereon, &c:, yesterday Martin
Grace, the contractor, who manages to have
a hand in a local improvements of the kind,

 

the hill, preparatory to the erection of the
proposed building. He is to dig out the
bank for the distance of one hundred feet
from the line on'Wall street. The gravel
taken out is being used to fill in a low lot on
Knight street belonging to 001. W. R. Smith.
This will be one of the most important
improvements of this nature consummated
in Norwalk for a long time.

We have seldom had”: 0 thoroughly en-

joyable a lecture, as that given last week at
the 151 M. E. Chttrch,-by Rev. Mr. Goodsell
of Meriden. It was replete with wise and
eminently practlcal suggestions and yet his
gravest thoughts were so mevaded by a
delicious humor, that the ugliest degree of
interest and good nature 11 as kept in con

stant and active play throughout 1111 en-

the delivery.

 

We had an exhibition on West avenue
last week of the harsh cruelties which may
be enacted under the forms of law in the
forcible entry and despoiling of acitizens
house in satisfying a. judgment, &c. The
case was one in which the somewhatfamous
“Jimmy Ingersoll" furniture house, wa.c the
party of the first part. We imagine it may
prove another of Mungo Park’s tiger hunts.

Without any exception whatever, the
crossing in front of Mrs. J. M. Carter’s and
the walk thence towards the Staat’s place,
is the worst piece of walking anywhere
within the Borough limits. And yet it is
treaded daily by more pedestrians than any
street of the same distance from the Bridge.
For ten years and more our authorities
promised the outraged tax-payers that it
should be improved, yet year after year
goes by and it is not touched. 'It is too dis-
graceful. .

night of a Trial by Jury.

Mnsens. EDITORS :-—It seems that while in
this state, under the pnctice and rule of our
courts, the right of a trial by jury, when
the case is brought as a. jury case, is denied
by a demurr'c1 confessing nominal damages
and costs, of which rule advantage is taken
especially by wealthy cor-'po1ations, fearing
to trust their case to the decision of twelve,_,
intelligent man; that in other countries,—
even in that less favored country of Austria,
the right of a. trial by jury was generally
1ntr0duced on the first day of the new year,
and the public prosecutor states in his cir-
cular that it is to be hoped that under this
system stzict and impartial justice will be

known to the majority of the people, where-
by a right so sacred is so easily evaded,
should be repealed, and the example of
Austria may well be cited, for it" 1n that coun-
11 y so just and democratic a right has been
accorded its people under an absolute mon-
archy, where the power of the crown is so
impregnable, the censorship of the press is
too strict, and the whole tendency of the
government is to suppress the rights of the
people to all free discussion of their politi-
cal institutions, ought not our own state to
be ashamed to withhold a right which so
evicently belongs to every citizen in this

I home of the flee?

Iome 0f the most popular selectionsmed

that the notorious “Bill” Eaton,who has led

is a possib1lity of'an election through
tinned apathy and division of the Republi-

would put a better man in nomination. On
the Republican side it is just possible that

Tax Pavia: seems to be 11bor1ng under a
misapprehension of facts. The Commis-
sioners, we are informed, do not receive one
penny benefit from the fund. The fact is
that instead of coming in at some stated
time, in a lump, it comes along in dfiblets,
day after day, and for convenience sake it is
deposited in some bank to await requisition
from the town treasurer, and whenever a
call is made by any town treasurer a check
for the amount due his town is promptly
given him. Tax Payer surely does not ex-
pect the Commissioners to senda check
every time a license is made out; that
would not be the usual course of good busi-
ness men. I

The Airline for January isfi. bright and
beautiful number for the opening of the
new year. It is accompained by the match
chromos “The White Mountains” and “The
Cliffs of Green River.” The chromos are
after paintings by Thos.Moran, who praises
their fidelity to the originals“ They are
widely (lifi‘erent from ordinary premium
chromos, and will be better and better Iap-
preciated as they become‘morc familiar.
In this number four full-page pictures are
given, as follows: “New Year’s Morning
in England " a snow scene tinted, by Thos.

Moran: i’oores Lake in the Rocky Moun-
tains of Utah the highest lake in America,
sketched by Time Moran-a rare and
beautiful view of scenery in the Far West;
“The Irish Schoolmaster,” an excellent
pictme by John S. Davis; the [fourth is a
charming view of New England Scenery—

 

soape in Fairfield, diversified with our
woods, river, steeple,
etc Othizr engravings are two sketches of
wild western scenery, by Moran; two
Bible scenes by Gustave Dore ;,.“Burying
the Pet Bird" by Miss ML E. Edwards; “A
Familiar Air,” by Rossler, a German artist;

The new series of “Every Saturda, " "
thins all the leading characteristics 01' -.1--
old—the general style and appearance is'tu

same and it is conducted by the same editor,

upon the same general plan, only with the
addition of several new features. Hereafter
original American stories will be given, the

first of which will be by the popular, ‘

sprightly authoress, Mary Clemer Ames, en-
titled “His Two Wives,” which, strangely
enough, is announced as a. tale of married
life. Anew editorial department will be
added, devoted to the discussion of home,
literary, serial and scientific topics. Every
Saturday is issued weekly, and each number
contains 28 large pages of reading matter
embracing serial tales, short stories, sketch-,
es of travel and adventure, criticisms. Ipoem's,"..I
scientific papers, literary information.&c.,1

carefullygulled from the best Foreign peri- .
odicals, Ithus giving in compact form the ' "

cream of Foreign literature. Among the
authors represented are the following. '—

of departments, supplemented by the Dem-

therewith. In one respect the day formed
a notable exception to former fashionable
“call” occasions. That was in the agree

Did you ever see so much Pharasical aself-

the chief anti-back-pay saints came to grief.
In contemplating the fates of poor M. Cox,

and the mannet their feelingsvf'cre wrung ' V

by their fellow-members, and. n .

the cross- -eyed general from Massachusetts, -
onc’ s sympathies mid lachrymal glands al'
moat give way. You remember how se-
iverlely censorious Mr. Hall was: upon his
fellow-members, who, he said, had cowardly
hurried the pay bill through at the last
hours of the expiring session. And when
it was shown that the same night he got a
bill through putting ten thousand dollars-
into his own pocket, asa claims Commis-
sioner, in addition "to “the pay he was re-
ceiving as Congressman, and the uproar-
ious merriment of the House, and the way
Mr. Hall wilted under the exposure, seemed
to me to justly call for the intervention of
Mr. Bergh I heard much of the salary de-
bate last month and must say that those
members who wished to appear most indig-
nant at the increase of their pay, inspired
me with about as much confidence in their
sincerity as in the vital godliness of the
devout old negress, who, after having stolen
a goose and lying most outrageously about
it, was greatly indignant because her mis-
tress tkought she ought not to go to com-
munion the next Sabbath. You have
heard the story. It is said to have been one
of Mr. Lincoln’s favorites and repeated by
him with apt application on many occasions.
“Dus you link, missus,” said the piously‘
sobbing "Chloe, “dus you tink I’d'let dat
tough old goose stand ’twixt me and my
blessed Master ?" Chloe demolished her
mistress’s objections, but beget about the
same confidence in her sincerity that these
members, so dreadfully tortured by an in-
crease of pay have won throughout the
country. Congressmen have the weak-
nesses common to other men,I conclude, as
side the following incident: In response to
a circular sent to 'each senator and repre-

‘ sentative by Major Ben. Perley Poore, re-
