3TH]; BURGLARS. .
There .wcre some eighty New York
thieves, comprising the murderous and bur-
glarious gang which recently infested the
smaller towns along the HudSoaniver. So
daring and prevalent did theirirobberies has
come, and so utterly powerless did them-
lice prove in their efforts loch-plum them,
that the citiZens finally organized into a
solid batty-guard and took turns in watch-
ing each others homes and property. In
consequence of this "vigilant action the
thieves scattered to other parts of‘ the
country. .Our 'OWn civil authorities were
notified same time since that we might“ ex-
pect a raid here from the outlaws, and sure
enough they have signalized their arrival by
the burglaries of the past week. It now
behooves our ~citizens and those .of sur-
rounding towns to at once organize for mu-
tual protection. Let every slrange' man
skuiking about as beggar, tramp, or ped-
dler, be vigorouslv “interviewed" and a
watch set over every suspicious character.
Then signals should be agreed upon not
only in sparsely settled neighborhoods, but
in the villages, and whenever there is reason
to suspect the presence of any of these
gentry let the signal be given that the popu-
lacemay be at Once aroused and put chase
after the villains. By such an organized
effort towards self-protection these thieves
will hastily seek less perilous localities in
which to ply their nefarious'vocations.
Meantime brush up the old revolvers,'kcep
your'powder dry, and don’t hesitate to
snoor any of this kidney at first opportu-
nity. ‘ _
P. S.—We are glad to see a call as above
for such an organization as we have indica-
ted. ~

A Scum—We regret to_ see anglisposi-
tion manifested to biggie over the payment
for the Blacksmith shop .of_'Mr. John Mc
Qubae, torn down by orderr‘oftheMayor, to
prevent, a-spread-of:the flamesat the recent
fire at-Soulb‘Norwalk. It is now clearly
evident that the old shop might have been
left. unmolested without a spread of the
flames, but-at-‘tbe time the-=-order was offi-
cially given‘Fitt'Seemed necessary,'and at all
events, it was torn dawn, and that by order
'oi competent authority. Now in any
similar case, an honest individual man
would have stepped up promptly and said
,f‘lir. MeQuhaetelimc the amount of less
you have sustained by'reasonV of my action
thatImay pay the damage. This would
be but common sense and common honesty
and our sister municipality cannot afford
to do an act that would disgrace a private
citizen. We see it'suggestedtbat a private
subscription'be taken up to indemnify Mr.
McQubae in part. ' We hopeit lwill not be
done and it done that Mr. McQuhae will
have the spirit to refuse it. His shop was
destroyed for the public safety andtbe pub-
lic ought to pay him and that without
quibbling. Anything short of that is dis-
honesty,'whatever may be the opinions of
hair-splitting lawyers. ‘

The officers of the new Odd Fellows
Lodge,‘No. 97 just organized‘at South Nor-
walk, were installed by the officers of the
Grand Lodge on Thursday evening last, in
the presence of some fifty visiting Brothers
from Bridgeport, and a score or more from
are Bridge. Fifty-two members were bal-
loted in and about twenty initiated the
same evening. The .new Lodge has very
feiicitously taken the?" name ’Of‘ithe late.

Aaron Byingtdn,.of the Phoenix Block
Market, was made happy by the discovery
last Saturday, that there wits 100 dollars
lying to his credit in the town treasury ‘of
Wilton, where it had been awaiting his call
nearly twelve years. He enlisted from Wil-
ton in the. early part of the war and this
was his bounty money, but semehow he
had been falsely led to believe that the town
had rephdiated its promised payment and-
so had never taken v’stepsfor its recovery;
This is aboutthe only case On record where-
a soldier boy has let his bounty remain so
long on deposit without interest and with-
out an effort to recover it. ‘

in the places .intbe several districts specified.
by the selcclmeu in their official notice. A:
the same time the electors will be called
ripen to Note upon two constitutional amend-
ments. One of these amendments is very
important, providing for a change in the
day of holding our annual State elections
from Spring to Fall, and Sessions of the
legislaturein January instead of May; elec-
ting State Senators‘tb'rtwo years instead of
one as at present, etc. In order that voters
may fully understand the proposed changes
we copy the'following from the act‘submit-
ting the amendments to the inhabitants of
the towns for their approval ,—
Resoloed by the House oflfepresentatioes that
the following be proposed as an amendment
to the constitution of this state, which, when
approvedgand adapted in the manner provided
by the constitution shall become a part there-
of viz: ' 4
,SECTION 1. A general election for govern-
or, lieutenant governor, secretary of state,
treasurer, comptroller, and members of the
general assembly, shall be held on the Tues-
day after the first Monday of November,1876,
and annually thereafter for such ofiicer‘s as
are herein and may be hereafter prescribed.
‘ SEC. 2. The state officers above named and.
the senators from those districts having even
numbers elected on the Tuesday after the
first Monday of November, 1876, and those
elected biennially thereafter on the Tuesday
after the first Monday of November, shall re-
spectively hold their offices for two years from
and after the first Wednesday following the
first Monday ofthe next succeeding January.
The senators from those districts having odd
numbers elected on the Tuesday after the
first Monday of November, 1876, shall hold
their offices for one year from and after the
Wednesday following the first Monday of
January, 1877. The electors residing in the
senatorial districts having odd numbers,shall,
on the Tuesday after the first Monday of No-
vember, 1877, and biennially thereafter, elect
senators who shall hold their offices for two
years from and after the Wednesday following
the next succeeding January. The represent-
atives : elected from the several towns on the
Tuesday after the first Monday of November,
1876, and those elected annually thereafter
shall hold their offices for one year, from and
after the Wednesday following the first Mon-
day of the next succeeding January. '
SEC. 3 There shall be a stated season of
the general assembly in Hartford, on the
Wednesday after the first Monday of J anuar
my, 1877, and annually thereafter on the Wed-
nesd'ay‘after the first Monday of January.
1y elected to the state offices and general as-
sembly on the first Monday of» April, 1876,
shall hold such oflices only until the Wed-
nesday after the first Monday of January,
1877.
' SEC. 5. The general assembly elected in
April, 1876, shall have power to pass such
laws as may be necessaryto carry into effect
the provisions of this amendment.
The second amendment is as follows :—
The general assembly shall have power by
a vote of two-thirds of the members ofboth
branches to restore the privileges of an elect-
or to those who may have forfeited the same
'by a. conviction of crime. '
The following is the prescribed form of
ballot, and the manner in which the vote is
tokbe-taken :— V- A
"’ Constitutional amendments, First" Monday
of October, 1875. ’
, No. 1. ,For annual elections on the Tuesday
after'the first Monday in November in each
year, commencing in November, 1876. Ses-
sions of the general assembly annually in
January: State officers elected biennially.
No. 2. For conferring power on general
assembly to restore forfeited electoral privi-
leges. This ballot will be counted as an affir-
mative ballot for both amendments, unless
the numbers or either of them are plainly
erased, and in that event it will. be counted
as a negative ballot for those amendments
which may be so erased.
Those in favor of approving and adopting
said amendments shall give in a. ballot
in the form preceding. Those who disapprove
of either or both said nmendmcnds shallgive
in a ballot 'in the form preceding, buff-with
the numbers set opposite the amendments
they disapprove plainly erased, and each num-
ber erased shall be counted as a. negative bal-
lot disapproving the amendment opposite such
numbers. All numbers not erased shall be
counted as affirmative ballots approving the
amendments set opposite them respectively.
The bullets: are to be provided by the Secre-
tary Of State and furnished to Town Clerks.
These changes seem tobe very generally de-
sired by the people, and we presume there
will be little if any opposition. If the voter
approves of both amendments he, will de-
posit »tbe “ballot as printed. If ' he disap-
proves either he must erase the number of
the amendment he wants to vote against.
‘ The first amendment must be taken as a
whole, and not divided.
The Liquor License question and the mat-
ter eflbe Consolidationof School districts,
will also he voted upon. 'Four boxes will
be provided for the reception of ballots.
No new voters will be made.
The Registry List last perfected (the one
made up last 5111'"ng will be used.

Burglars at Work. I
.5
High street, was entered by burglars last
Friday night, and robbed of silver ware val-
ued at $150, a pair of boots, etc. Several
members of the family. were wakcned, and
their movements probably hastened the exit
70f the thievcsu A milkman coming into
lhe‘slreet early inith'c morningmnct a. man
whom he described to Mr. Olmstead.
Taking a man in the carriage with him,
Mr. Olmstead started in pursuit, and traced
overtook him. He proved to be Wash. Hall
an escaped criminal. ' He gave an assumed
namc;'_ said he 'came from Stratiord that
morning; had'not been in Norwalk in four-
teen years, and lied generally, _ Mr. Olm-
stead was very. firm, and fearlessly examin-
ed' Zhim, opened his bundle, searched‘ his
pockets, finally forced him to deliver- up a
loaded revolver, and then' get into the car-
riage. . . ‘ ' .;'
He was brought to Norwaik,‘ and deliver
ed to Sheriff Adams who was already in
search of him as an escaped jail bird.
There is reason to believe that he was real-
ly cOnnectcd with the robbery, although
none of the articles taken were found upon
him. ‘ Mr. Olmstead has a telescope, pistol,
pistol case, &c., which hthook from him.
The same night Mr. Harlem, Higbt street,
heard some one on his back veranda, but
they were scared away by his prompt
action. - '
The same night the residence of Mr. Wil-
liam Mitchell was entered and robbed of a
dozen spoons. Several spoons were broken-V
Some clothing had been picked up and piled
together, and it is thought the thieves were
frightened a way.
Saturday night the residence of Mr. Bul-
terworth, Winnipauk. was entered. The
thieves went through thepantry. and made
way with milk and eatables, but do not
seem to have secured any valuable plun-
der. .
Saturday night Mayor Daskam put Capt.
Beckwith onus an extra patrol on the out-
skirts of the Borough, and ordered the
street lights kept burning. Early Monday
morning, while opposite the Congl. church,-
Beckwith thought he _heard-_Va «noise and
stopped toiiisten, Just then Mrsi‘L‘a'Wrence
threw up a window and, called for help. '
Beckwith signaled the other police, and
started for'thc house, Foster ,andSuilivan.
coming up soon after on the rim. ' The bur-‘
giars, however, escaped by the back door
and through the garden. We do not learn
that they succeeded in carrying off any .arti-
cles of value.

order all street lamps to be left burning till
daylight in the morning.

-’ ‘ .. , a, - l, i-i
Tlic voters of the second district are very
'much surprised that the “Town election”
should have takenplgtcc yesterday,(Mopday).
”However that committee on taxes have do
cidcd that it. is “possible” to hold a legal
election for town officers on Monday next,
Oct. 4th. . ,
“As usual,” a meeting 'Of the 'Board of
Councilmen was held qn Monday eve. 20th
inst. which has been pronounced by high
authority “spicy" and “lively.” A rattling
speech was made in regard to the dilly-daily
manner in which business was done, and
the “scare crows" that invariably frighten
tho council Out of pursuing any action to
the end. Others read, and tbecity attorney
members and to your reporter, seemed Ill.-
necessary, as the law is plain and explicit.
The subject under discussion was the gra-
is‘ just possible that some of the members of
the council havclearned cre this, that there
are only freeways to take property, for pub-
lic or private use. One to take it legally,
the other to‘steai it. Tbe‘fmajority of the
council seemed inclined to take it legally,
and not burn their fingers. . ’l‘be commitee
to whom the matter was referred, reported
'not being able to agrcewith the owners of
property to be taken, and asked that a com-
mittee to appraise benefits and damages be
appointed according to law, and they might
have added that the disagreement was not
with the rich. They are not standing in the
way, and are willing to take a. just'and fair
price fortbcir property. Some less favored
with "real estate, having a little home, set
higblyby if, as it is their all, and want more
money for the land proposed to be taken.
than the committee were warranted in offer-
ing. Some of. the council insisted that the
city could take the property now, soon, quick
and force the laying of sidewalks by the 15th
of October, and scouted the idea of being
compelled, as the charter requires, of wait-
ing until an estimate was made of its value.
The Board of councilmen ought to under-
stanthhat the people are in a state of mind,
if not patronizing—,-is anything but fiatter:_
ing to the legislation and intellectual abili-
ties of most of those, who in the same posi-
tion, have preceded them, and itiould be
very foolish for this council so to legislate as
to come under the same condemnation.
Agreat change has been made in Main.
street south of Washington street, since, the
council have commenced to meddle with it.
The noble trees which have afi’ordcd shade
and added beauty to that avenue. are being
demolished. One can but feel at least
“Woodman. spare that tree.” '
. The ladies of the Helping Hand Society
who were so efficient during the late winter,
in relieving the wants of the needy,are con-
sulting about the ‘ future, and are soon to
hold attracting to decide upon plans and
times of meeting. It is hoped that all who
are willing to aid in this noble charity, will
aidlby their ,presence,.contribution and sym-
at iy. ‘
p The long-talked of and'much needed Hose
Company in South Norwalk, has been or-
ganized under the name of “Putnam,” with
the following officers :—Foreman, D. E.
Mcrrill‘; 1st Ass’t,M_arcus Peiham ;2d Ass’t,

Treasurer, George H. Ferris

Treasury is” now quite full. Tuttle was.
tried, found guilty, and fined $100.00 which-
his father paid. Burns and Cunningham
were fined. with cost amounted toi$35.43.
An adjourned councilmeetiug is now being
held, with a good attendance of listeners,
to know if pdssibie, about the ordinances.
In the absence of a full report from the
commit-tee, or any definate particulars. it
will be well to with-bold comment. But
the inquiry which will follow the knowledge
that an investigation was necessary, cannot
fail to be interesting and instructive to all
concerned in city affairs.

Governor ngcrsoll on Friday, accepted
the-resignation ofBrig. Gen. R. B, Craufurd,
of the State National Guard. The resigna-
tion has beeg'for somc time in his hands.
The vacancy was filled by the appointment
of Col. Wm. Rande South, who was Gen.‘
Craufurd’s chief of. staff, to the position.
Gen.Smitb is a lawer of Norwalk and a
gentleman well qualified for the responsible
post so well filled by Gen. Graufurd.
' N. H. Courier.
It will be seen by the above that Gen.
Craufurd’s resignation has finally been ac-
eepted, and that he'has been”rciieved from
the arduousduties‘of the position; Under
his command the National Guard has great-
ly improved and now ranks as high as the
militia of any other State. He has been a
very popular commander, and the officers
and men of the Brigade will much regret
to part witbhim. I -
Governor Ingersoli and the State Nation-
al Guard arc to be congratulated upon the
appointment of Wm. Randei Smith, to the
poSition.’ We doubt if in. all the State Mr.
Smith's equal, in all respects, for tbe’posi-
tion, could have been selected. He has
long been the Chief-Executive officer of
Gen Craufurd and we presume the Gen.
himself, who, as'i's well knotvn, has proved
aluost valtlublc and efficient officer, will
feel that it is no exaggeration for 'us to say
that the Governor has selected even a better
military man than himself, for a successor.
Gen. Smith is thoroughly booked up in the
recent and best military tactics, is a most
thorough disciplinarian’, and will be sure to
place the C. N. G. on a better Standing than
ever before, It is not from any local par-
tialities that we pronounce Gov. Ingcrsoli‘s
appointment the very bestthat be possibly
could have made. ’

table across the head of the two long
ones, sat at his right his honorary brother
turn supported by Chaplain. Simonson,
while on the Commodore’s left sat Chaplain
Hamilton, ad inurem. To his right was a
huge pyramid of‘mOnster Bartlett pears—
presented by Mrs. Judge Advocate Taylor,
of Green’s Farms,—~whi1e immediate in his
front was the most gorgeous floral decora-
tion adorning the tables. It was a broad
surfaced basket, rising to the rear, compos-
ed of the rarest rose-buds and exotic cut
flowers. In the center was the Neptune's
1monogram cntwined' by an anchor and
cable, exquis.tely wrought in different col-
ored Intmortelies. This fragrant and bean-
tiful floral offering was the combined gift of
Mrs. Jos. S.'S inney, Mrs. J. R. Wilmarth,
Mrs.:LouiI B. oder, Mrs. Marshall Barber,
Mrs. S. B. Spinning, and Miss H. J. Herrick. -
The cardsof these lady donors were attach-
ed with the mischievous satire,“Regrets,” at-
tached to cacb,thejokc of which will be more
fulw. understood when it is stated that for
prudential or other reasons, these gallant
Neptunes rigorously excluded the ladies
from their elaborate entertainment—A ter-
rible blunder.
Beside each officer’s plate lay a bright
sparkling bottle. which we observed caused
the eyes of Willie to gleam in the delusion
that it was somc)new brand of Widow Clic-
quot. But they proved to be only pint bot-
tles of Brother Spinney’s Oak Bluff ginger-
,pop, each bottle of which was sacredly laid
.awtgyito be carried back next year and
opened under his vine and fig tree in the
back-yard of his Clinton avenue cottage.
' .A card was placed upon each plate desig-
nating the desired occupant, and at their
side printed slips of poetry,—one an acros-
tic—The,Happy Cottage—from the facile
pen of Neptune E. F. Willis-and dedicated
{to Brother Spinney for his gift of photo-
graphs-Of bis enchanting “Cottage by the
Sea.” The other was a meritorious metri-
cal contribution to the rc-unio'n by Mrs.
Hare of Worcester.
All being seated at the tables, Chaplain
Hamilton invoked a blessing and the serried
columns of Commissary Mead’s provisions
were mowed down like grass before a Ve-
locity Lawn Shaver. We have witnessed
nothing like imiuce Woodward’s and Bis-
sell’s superhuman struggle hauling—sen
weed, aboard skipper Fisher’s yaw] off Ed-
artown! After repeated charges upon the
‘ommissary’s works, Capt. Watson arose
and with assumed solemnity presented a
heavily .frosted cake, surmounted with a
sugar schooner, full-rigged, to Brother Wil-
its, the champion hash-eater of the club.
The cake was a beautiful work of high-art
from tbeiaburatory of Frank Mead 8.7 Co.
and upon lifting the heavy frost-work, a
form of delicious corned«beef hash was re.
vealed to Brother Willis‘ ‘delighted gezc.
Never did old Simon so enjoy his best flagon
of sack, and so overcome was Willis that for
the first time he confessed his emotions to
be too overpOw ering for .reply and he could
only say to his brother Neptunes, “Thanks,
and God bless you." Those who sat next
to him'aver, however, that he cut short his
speech only that he might the sooner fall
upon the bash with devouring - energy.
Next followed the presentation of a blue-
fish, made by Mead out of ice-cream. It
was announced by Com. Tompkins as the
ratefui tribute (if-EC. Bisselt to: Hon. Asa
I}. Woodward, for not having caught as
many blue-fish as he,—Bisseli—-did, and
thus letting him bear off the first prize of
$7.50, which he so much needed to pay
Capt. Fisher with. This was followed by a
charcoal sketch from. O. S. Clark depicting
a Scene at the Bluff House and docks. The
,time was 3 a. m., the “last boat was gone"
and the rotund Scorctcz'y’s head lay drowsy
op frqusy upon the pier leg, while the local
night-watchman is letting the full power of
his tallow dip glare into the composed fea-
tures of the sleeping beauty. The sketch
was worthy the best efforts of ,Nast, and
Whitney has at it in enduring photograe
pbyT-single copies 25 cents. _ It is needless
to add that Osborne was again “too much
overcome to respoud,” as this palabie hit
was placarded on the wall. at his back.
Woodward, Willis, Lester, Prowitt, Dr.
Many, Eb. .J. Hill, andCom. Tompkins
were called, out in succession and contribu-
ted to'tbe night’s intellectual reveiry. At
this point Chaplain Hamilton rose and pre-
sented Brother Spinney a heavy gold Nep-
tune badge, suitably inscribed. as the grate-
ful expression of the club’s appreciation.
This was the speech of the evening and in
sober earnestness and eloquent fervor- the
Chaglain thanked the recipient for the great
service he had done the club by introducing
them into the best society at Oak Bluffs,
and by his own and his noble wife’s endorse-
ment of them put all its members upon their
best bebavior'while alieusfrom their homes
and families. _ Mr, Spinney’s reply was both
earnest and eloquent. Ending his beautiful
and-appropriate little speech be invoked
God’s blessing upon his comrades and ex.
pressed the fervent hope that when life’s
voyage was ended by each, at last, every
Neptune might be foundipresent at the final
roll call in the Father’s ingdom above. .
Secretary Osborn here read a number of
regretful letters from absent brothers una-
bletd attend the re-nnion. »A sugar yawl
boat with four lusty oarsmen was then pre-
sented by Osborn. to Capt. W. L. Watson,
as the historic gm; a. m,, boat, The Captain
respondedby “acknowledging the corn”
and singing his popular song,"4Thc Regular
Army, 0,” which left all his auditors eon-
vulsed witb‘laughter. Mayor Daskam was
here'called out and startled the company by
the announcement that he could neither
make: a speecb,sing,‘. or tell artery! He
gave the toast—“The Neptune Ciubt May

in tho, wi ticst speech f the evening,
rose,presented Treasurer . rowill a marble
clock‘and bronzedecoration, with pair of
bronze vases to match. Prowitt was taken
completely ,by surprise and confessed he
never felt more completely wound up. He
never so deeply regretted as now having
played hookey when a school-boy, but like
his friends Willis and Osborn he was “too
full for .uttcrance.”V At. this point. Wood-

He said bathing was a necessity with some
people—it was with Brother Nash of
ridgeport and he therefore presented him
witba bat -tub. The merriment here be-
came excessive again and Nash received his
scgar'tub as gleefully as the best. Brother
Gibson‘here rose and confessed that he had
concocted a “bigjoke’7 but had sent to New
York to get it printed and it had miscarri-
ed. But for that accident he should have

This week a change is made in the trips
of the Nelly White. The steamer now runs
through to New York direct, having given
up the Greenwich landing. The time has
also been somewhat changed, the vessel
leaving South ’Norwalk at 7 o'clock a. m.,
and the Market street landing, New York,
at 3 o’clock, and 33d street fifteen minutes
later. This will give passengers about the
same time in the city as now, and get them
.home nearly an hour carlicr..l The sail on
the bout, this bright, clear weather, is very
pleasant indeed. Now is just the time for a
visit to the city.
We are glad to learn that the steamer has
made out much better this season than last.
Her receipts have been much larger, and
she has not met with any serious accidents.
Capt. Cross is very popular and deserves to
be, for he continues attentive and obliging
to passengers.
