.-._.,.. heather Gov. Buckingham.
William A. Buckingham, Senator and ex-
Governol‘of Connecticut, died at his home
in Norwich early Friday morning last.
SENATOR Bnoxmorurr. came from the
old Puritan stock, being of the seventh gen-
eration from Thomas Buckingham, one of
the original settlers of New Haven, one of
the founders of Yale college and one of the
moderators of the synod that framed the
“Saybrook platform.” The senatofivas
born, May 28, 1804,at Lebanon,Ct., atown
that has produced five governors of Connec-
ticut, who have held office for 37 years of
the past century. Mf. Buckingham received
his education in the public schools of Le-
banon and at Bacon accademy in Colches-
ter, where Chief-Justice Waite, ex-Senator
Lyman Trumbull and many other promi-
nent men were once students. He taught
school a little, when only 18 years old, but
devoted himself chiefly to farm work in his
early youth. In 1825, however, he moved
to Norwich, and, after a short experience as
a clerk. entered business for himself, and
gradually enlarged his field till he was a
stockholder in six or eight manufacturing
corporations at the time of his death, hav-
ing accumulated a pretty large property-
In 1830 he joined the Second Congregation-
a1 church at Norwich, but, eight years after,
became one of the prime movers in theor-
ganization of the Broadway Congregational
church, of which he was a deacon from its
foundation to the day of his death. He was
prominent for his works of benevolence,
and among his benefactions was a gift of
$25,000 to the Yale theological school, a gift
of $10,000 to the Norwich tree academy,
and the erection of a beautiful chapel for
one of the mission schools of the church
to which he belonged.
gained his political fame chiefly as “ war
governor” of Connecticut. He was elected
in 1858 by the republicans, and held the
office for eight years, a longer term than
that of any governor since the adoption of
the present constitution except Oliver Wol-
cott. He had previously been mayor of
Norwich for four years, and was one of the
Fremont presidential electors in 1856. When
the first gun was fired on Fort Sumter, Gov.
Buckingham set at work to equip militia,
without waiting to call a session of the Leg-
islature, his own business relation enabling
him to command the necessary funds. Du-
ring the week when the national capital
was cut off from the rest of the country by
the rebels, he sent his son-in law, Gen.
Aiken, to Washington with the news that
the men and money of Connecticut were at
the disposal of the presidentto any extent,
and when Aiken had arrived, after a jour-
ney of great difficulty, Gen. Scott told him
' he was the first man with a written dispatch
he had seen for three days. He subsequent-
ly sent to President Lincoln 9. letter marking
out a policy, which was substantially fol-
lowed. Mr. Buckingham received his last
election as governor in April, 1865, on the
day when the people were rejoicing over
the fall of Richmond, and he got a-majority
of 11,000, which is without parallel in Con-
necticut. He entered the United States
Senate in 1869, succeeding James Dixon of
Hartford, and his term would'have expired
March 4, just a month from the day of his
death. Mr. Buckingham had been in ill
health for several months, and had been
unable to take his seat in the' Senate, this
session. _The final manifestation of his dis-
easewasinflammation of the bowels. He
leaves one daughter, Mrs. William Aiken of
Norwich, and two brothers, Rev. Dr. S. G.
Buckingham of Springfield, Mass, and I. N.
Buckingham of Norwich.
Gov. Ingersoll has issued an executive
order closing all the offices of the State
Government to-day (Tuesday), out of re-
spect to the memory of Senator Bucking-
ham, whose funeral takes place to day.
In the Senate, on Friday, Chaplain Sun-
der-land, in his opening prayer, alluded to
the death of Senator Buckingham of Con-
necticut, saying: '
We come before Thee. 0 Lord, admonished by
the tidings of the morning that in the midst of
life we are in death. Another member of this
body has been called from the scene of his earthly
labors. Bless and uphold the members of his
family and surviving friends.
Immediately after the reading of the jour-
nal Mr. Ferry said :
Mr. President: I rise to the performance
of what is to me the saddestduty ofmy pub-
lic life. I announce to the Senate the death
of my late colleague on this floor, which oc-
curred this morning in Norwich Conn., at
20 minutes past 12 o’clock. Just as night
was turning into morning Gov. Buckingham
died. I hope, on another occasion, to be
able to say something befitting his memory.
At present I ofl‘eg this resolution :
Resolved, That a committee. to consist of five
Senators, be appointed b thaChair to attend the
gbsoquies of William A. uckmgham at Norwich,
cm.
The resolution was seconded by Mr.
Anthony, and unanimously agreed to.
Mr. Ferry also offered a resolution that
as a further mark of respect for the deceased,
thev‘Senate do now adjourn. The chair
appointed as'the Committee to attend the
funeral, Messrs: Ferry of Connecticut, Sher-
man of Ohio, Stevenson of Kentucky, Fen-
ton of New York, and Washburn of Mas-
sachusetts.
‘ Mr. Ferry said the Senate was aware
that in his own infirm condition of health
it would hardly be possible for him to go
to the home of his late colleague and return
here without great risk to himself. So far
as he was concerned he would not decline
to go on account of his physical indisposi-
tion, but there were others who were in-
terested in his health and he must therefore
be excused.
The Vice-President appointed in his
place Mr. Hamlin of Maine.
The Senate then, at 12:20 adjourned till
12 o’clock. '
The Senatorial Committee arrived in
New Yerk, Saturday en route to Norwich.
Several of our citizens also leave in the
first eastern train this (Tuesday) morning
to be present at the funeral. A special
tra’in‘will be run from Hartford, and great
numbers from all parts of the State will
sorrowfully go to take a last look of the
great Governor, Christian and friend.

The “combination” Fire Insurance compa-
nics put their extortionate rates into efl'ect on
the 12th inst. The result will be that they
will lose much of their business, as they
justly deserve to do. There is neither jus-
tice or necessity in this combination, to
force the people to make good their ex-
c'eptional loses at Chicago and Boston,
There are safe companies which will not
take part in this imposition.

The opinion prevails that Gov. Ingersoll
will appoint Senator-elect Eaton to the va-.
cancy caused by the death of Senator Buck-
ingham. Why not honor Jim Gallagher?

Fitclr’s Orphans’ Horne.
thirty or forty Norwalk Icouplesflimprove‘d
the good sleighing by making a. “surprise
visit” to the Darien Home for Orphans.
The good ladies, had provided sufficient
of the delicacies ‘of the season to give the
children a good “square meal,” with plen-
ty left for their own refreshment. The
bright eyes, smiling faces, and eager appe-
tites of the children bore abundant evidence
of their appreciation of the good things
spread before them. The, kitchen was
turned over to Caterer Frank Mead, who,
with the assistance of the ladies, soon had
a tempting“ spread” in the capacious din-
ing room of the Institution. Mead’s hot
coffee never found a more appreciative rc-
caption. After supper the guests repaired
to the picture gallery where a presentation
of one hundred dollars in money was made
Miss Davis, the result of some earnest can-
vassing made by Levi C. Hanford, Esq.
Several short congratulatory speeches were
made, expressive of the gratification felt by
the impromptu visitors that there was such
an institution where destitute and homeless
little ones could be nurtured and educated.
There were ninglildrcn from Norwalk
who had been clot ed, fed, educated, and
given religious instruction, and all for one
dollar per week from our town treasury,—at
least, no more than a dollar per week is al-
lowed. Two of the nine get $1.50 from the
State as well; one of these, a soldier’s or-
phan, a most accomplished young lady, is
fitting for a teacher at the Massachusetts
Normal School on this total of $250 per
week. Another d" the nine, a bright little
lad, gets nothing from State or town.
Three get the dollar per week town money
only, and another is supported by a grand'
mother, aged sixty-three, who has been out
at service at $10 per month, and paying
$8 per month out of her ten for the support
of .her grandson. The old lady is now out
of a place, and the child is being supported
without pay for the present. We were de-
lighted to learn that several leading citizens
of Stamford, feeling that the payment of
one dollar per week only for the Stamford
children was aIdisgrace to their‘town, had
a public meeting called and a vote was
unanimously passed doubling the amount.
We trusLit will not be long before similar
action is taken in Norwalk. There are
now about thirty of these desolate little
ones at the Home,and about the'same num-
ber of older ones and boarders. A day
school is also established in connection
with the Home with a total attendance of
about eighty. Capt. Brown, of the Board
of Trustees, gave us some interesting sta-
tistics concerning the Home. It has now
been in operation eleven years and with an
average of forty children annually, and yet
but one death has ever occurred there, and
that was of a feeble little girl who was ill
when admitted. The past year, Miss Davis
has served without salary, although she had
been offered fifteen hundred dollars to
serve as matron of a reformatory institu-
tion in Massachusetts. Capt. Brown also
informed us that.Mr. Fitch, the generous
founder of this noble institution, had con-
tributed fifteen hundred dollars the past
year for repairs of the buildings, &c. Mr.
Fitch had also,profi‘ercd the town of Darien
the corner lot: justwcst of the Episcopal
church, and five thousand dollars in cash,
for the erection ofaTown Hall, but the
town had declined his munificent offer and
had purchased the hall at Darien Depot;
We were glad to hear that Darien had de-
clined his offer, for Mr. Fitch’s monument,
which is to perpetuate his memory, is this
Orphans’ Home, and the five thousand dol-
a'rs so generously proffered his town,would
be productive of infinitely more good if-left
as a legacy to the Home. No noblcr or
more holy charity was born of the war
than this Home for Soldiers’ Orphans, and
'now that these-soldier’s children have
mostly left it, that it is to be perpetuated
for the homeless and destitute children of
our County should inspire every humane
heart with gratitude and joy. Avisit by
our good people would beget a more intelli-
gent interest in its welfare and support,
and we earnestly urge all who can to pay a
visit to the Orphans’ Home. There is a
fine picture gallery which would draw hun-
dreds there, were its attractions and merits
half known. For ourselves and others we
have to thank friend Hartford for a share in
his successful surprise visit thither.
NEW Home Canmaon.’—The Hose carriage
recently purchased by a committee appoint-
ed by the last Court of Burgesses, arrived
last Tuesday, and was received by Phoenix
Hose Company, and taken to their House
on Water street. It is an elegant afiair, four
wheels, reel mounted high, and shines all
over like a new trade dollar. The commit-
tee paid $500 for it, but the original cost
must have been as much as four times that
amount. It is strong as well as handsome,
and in good condition for active duty as
well as highly ornamental for public pa-
rades.
Mr. Cotter was engaged yesterday in try-

The calico ball seems to have been an un-

of the weather. The music Was without ex-

listened on any similaroccasion. The
“brave men” were only eclipsed by the
unusually large number of handsome
women—even for Norwalk—and although
the “calico” was homeopathically adminis-
tered, we must say, we never saw our ladies
more sensibly or befittingly dressed fora
cold, cold night’s dance. The floor was
kept well covered till jocunday began to
streak the eastern horizon, and “all went
luurry'as a marriage bell” throughout.

A LITTLE HEBO.—0n Monday Night of
last week, while our engineer was at work
running off the edi = of the Gazette. his
wife had occasion to visit the Bridge, leav- .
ing several children at home. During her.
absence the kerosene lamp was 11.1 some
manner broken and the carpet was set on
fire. The oldest children, seeing the flames,
became frightened and ran out to the neigh-
bors for assistance. Upon their return,with
help, they were surprised to find the flames
extinguished, and their little six years old
brother standing in the room with his cloth-
ing on fire. It seems that the little fellow
had run for a pail of water with which he
fought'the fire successfully, but in doing so
had set fire to his pants. Fortunatelyhis
sister returned in time to help him offwith
his clothes before he received any injury,
burning her hand in the effort. The little
shaver deserved to be elected an honorary
member of the fire department, and to re-
ceivc a silver medal from the “consolidated”
insurance board.

pay him at least $5,000 to keep his knowl-

that Mrs. Eagle is Mrs. Barnum’s sister,

tile personation in Brougham’s “Minnie’s

BURGLARY—ARREST 0F BUBGLARS AND rus-
covEuv OF GOODS—QUICK WORK.
On Tuesday night-last the store of M. L.
85 J. C. Mather, was entered by burglars and
robbed of silks and dress goods, to the value
of about $400. The thieves gained entrance
by editing out a panel of the back door,
then putting in their hand they removed a
bar which ,reached across the door, unlock-
ed the dOOr, and thus had free passage.
Suspicion fell upon a stranger who was in a
day or so before looking at silks, and who
had left without making any purchase,
remarking that he would call again in a few
days, but it seems that he concluded to make
a night call instead. The next morning
after the discovery of the robbery, one of
the firm went to New York, and going to
the police to notify them of the affair, he
was informed that the goods and two of the
thieves were in their hands. It seems that
on Tuesday the police had arrested a noted
fence-house keeper and shut up his house,
which was of course unknown by these
thieves they being on this raid, so that, on
their arrival in the city, early on Wednes-
day morning, two of them proceeded With
the largest portion of goods direct to
this receiver of stolen ods, finding his
place closed, they started 011‘ for another but
the police noticing their movements, instant~
ly arrested them,and found a bag of goods,a
flue set of burglars tools and a loaded revol-
ver upon them, locked them up to await in-
vestigation. Mr. Mather called and identifi~
ed the goods and one of the thieves as the
fellow who was to call again in a few days,
They, waiving the formality ‘of-a requisition
from the Governor, were immediately taken

BRIDGEPORT.
Deacon John W. Hincks died at his resi-
dence, Fairfield Avenue, on Saturday morn-
ing. He was about 58 cars of age.
At a meeting of the ridgeport Schutzen
Verein, a committee was appointed to take
preliminary measures toward constructing a
horse railroad from this city to the Schutzen
Park, West Stratford. .
Nearly all. the young people of the city
amuse themselves evenings by sliding down
hill, principally in Courtlandt and Washing-
ton streets. This is finc sport, but has un-
fortunately proved very prolific in broken
limbs; severe accidents occurring nearly
every evening, the police commissioners
think of stoppintr the sport, and as a matter
of course young ridgeport is indignant.
A prominent minister in town is consider-
ing the expediency of offering a suitable
chromo to every couple applying to him for
marriage during the year 1875, and he don’t
intend to charge any extra fees either. The
chromo will be a clear gain to the parties
married.
From .the abstract of the record of births,
marriages and deaths in the town of Bridge-
port, in 1874, we gather the following: total
number of births, 295; of which 521 were
males, 470 were females, and of 4 the sex
not returned. Of the above number 22
were colored ; 12 males and 10 females.
Number of plurality of births included with
the above 17, and the number of illegitimate
births 13.
The total number of marriages was 226.
Both parties American, 100; both foreign,
91; Am. male and foreign female, 10'; for-
cign male and Am. female, 25. Number of
marriages of colored persons included in
above, .
There have been 381.deaths, of our 203
were males, and 178 females. Of, 5 num-
ber 3 were colored; 2 males and 1 female.
Sixty four (1111'
Of these diptheria was the most fatal, there
being 71 cases returned. There were 31
deaths from'lung fever; 29 cholera infant-
unl; 22 consumption; 19 scarlet fever; 18
diseases of the brain; 6 spinal meniugtis ; 9
Bright’s disease; 18 convulsions; 6 typhoid
fever; 15 heart disease, and most of the re.
maindcr single instances of particular dis-
eases. ‘
We are pained to announce the' death at
Denver,.Colorado, on Feb. 3d, of Gen. Ilen-
rv P. Adams, at the age of 61 years. Gen-
eral Adams was a man of more than com-
mon ability and had been before the public
for many years in prominent connection
with rlilroad enterprises. Latterly his at-
tention had been directed to mining enter-
prises with the utilization of sulphur ores in
chemical processes‘ and factories erected in
this city, and in Quebec and London, Cana-
da, are now in operation upon his plans.
SinceJuly,1874,hc had been occupied with
mining interests in Colorado, Gen. Adams
was active in raising the first troops on Mis-
souri soil at the opening of the rebellion,
and was commissioned a Brigadier-General
of ’voluntecrs, acting under Fremont, during
the full and winter of 1861-2.—Standard.

' CONSUMPTIVES,
'fihake Notice!
Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on thoJudicious choice
of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for con-
sumption, far exceeds all that: can be brou hi; to
.support the pretentious of any other me lcine.
See Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, containing certifi-
cates of many persons of the highest respectability.
who have been restored to health. after being r0;
trounced incurable by physicians of acknowle god
ability. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured
many. as these evidences wil show; but the clue
is often prompted by the employment of two other
remedies which Dr. Schcnck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenck’s Sen.
Yecd Tome and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use
of these medicines, according to directions, Dr.
Schenck certifies that most any case of Consump-
tloh can be cured. Dr. Schenck will be at the
Quincy House, Boston, on the followin Wednes-
days, from 9 to 3 o’clock: J an. 13 and 27. ‘eb 10 and

A new and charming size. The size of the
picture, with the mount,- is four by seven
inches, and are intended, (as their name indi-
cates), for three-quarters or full length figure,
The improvement in these over the ordinary
cabinet for standing figures appears about the
same as a high studded room to a low one. It
gives an atmosphere and an air of freedom
that is really refreshing. The width is anoth-
er advantage is long as the present style of
