Tlle Union Meetings.
The Union meetings held during the‘week
of Prayer, at the different churches, were re-
markably well attended, and much more than
customary interest was, manifested. The
meeting on Sunday evening \vlls very large,
and it was very pleasant to see so many Meth-
odists, Baptists and Congregationalism wor-
shiping together in such perfect harmony.
The meetings were so interesting that it has
I been decided to continue them through the
present week, as follows: Monday and Tues—
day evenings at the First Congregational
church; Wednesday and Thursday evenings
at the Baptist church; Friday and Saturday
evenings at the Met-hodi'st‘churcil.
#
The GAZETTE is by far the bell advertising
medium in Western Connecticut, and the
cheapest. Our circulation is bona fide, and as
large on stormy publication days as any other.
Our advertisers know what to depend upon.
fl
The meetings of the Ladies’ Temperance
Union are largely attended, especially those
- held on Sunday. Much intereist is manifested,
and the meetings are very interesting. If the
interest continues‘to increase the ladieswill
be compelled to open the Hall to accommo-
date the crowds. Many attend who are scl-
dom seen in our churches. Another crusade
meeting was held last Friday. The ladies are
doing mere to remove the curse .of intemper-
slice than all the prollibitory laws on our
statute books.

MARRYING IN FUN.
lenmmoox, Jan. 6. —There were some
momentous calls made on New Year’s by res-
idents of this lovely village. Some Of its gol-n
den youth drove hence to Chatllam to see the
New Year in at the hospitable mansion of
Miss Anna Gifford. All went merry as, not'
one, but two marriage bells—as it turnedout.
The fun was fast for a while. Bllt parlor
mes are not satisf 'ng in their nature.
roung America‘is‘ not 'n'g if not audacious.
He hit upon an idea. “Shay, fellers, let’s
have a wedding!” The young ladies said the
idea was perfectly splendid! l‘hen they said,
“Oh! But who will get married Tc" -“1 will,”
said young Pei-line, son of that effective Dem-
ocratic campaigner, E. O. Perrine, Clerk of
the Court of Appeals. He stood. up like a
Chicagoan, as if he :were "used to it. “Oh,
yes, and Lizzie ou must be bride.” This
was Miss Lizzie ee, who lives near Troy, but
was on a visit to her aunt, Mrs. Bradley, of
Kinder’k. Miss Lizzie required the usual
amount of persuasion, but she blusllingly took-
her place at last. The ladies said, “Oh, won’t
it be fun, Let’s have two couple.” And so
young Mix, son of James Mix, an Albany jew-
eller, who lives-in Kinkerhook, stood up. The ,
choice of his .firtner was not so unanimous
as in the first case, but Miss Lizzie Dennis,
of Kinderhook was finally persuaded to per-
sonate the second bride. The places of
bridesmaids and oomsmen were quickly
supplied. Upon lIr, Cole, 9. school teacher
here, fell naturally the lot of reading the mar-
riage service. 'He did it as one ordained to
the office. When he said, “\Vhom God hatll
joined together, let no man put asunder,” the
ladies would have looked solemn if the young
gentlemen had not just then been insisting
that no wedding ceremony can be complete
without kissing the bride. Soon after the
village church bells had rung their centennial
chimes the youthful party drove gully to their
homes. . .
The ladies gave animated descriptions next
day of the loveliness of the brides, and the so-
lemnity of tlleceremony. It had looked, they
vowed and declared, just for all the world
like nlarr 'ing in real earnest; if they were
going to c married to—morrow they wouldn’t
ask to be married more delightfully than Mr.
Cole had done it. “What, not Rev. Mr. Cole,
here?" asked lnalnma. “Why, Mr, Cole, the
teacher.” “Why, what do on mean? Den’t
those silly girls know that llr. Cole is a. real
minister? Why, ,wllatevcr have they been
thinking about lf’ _ .
Mommas dropped ill on each other and com-
pared notcs. It lvas even so. Only two
years ago the Rev. R. H. Cole exchanged his
callingas an expoundel- of texts for that of
propounder of arithmetical problems at Kin-
derhook. The youngsters that had thus been
playing with lllatrinlonial fire had burned
their fingers on the Reverend Cole. Kinder-
.hook mothers and Kinderhook maidens of
every condition are palpitating over the sub-
'ect. Rumors of all kinds multiply daily.
One is that the gentleman first named is satis-
fied to have matters as they are ; that he is
like the school boy sentenced by old Master
Brown for some offence to sit among the girls.
l‘llen Alltllon ' Blair, with a mortified air,
With his heal down on his breast. *
Took his pcnitcllt seat by the maiden sweet
That he loved Dial! the best.
Whether the young lady" will be willing to
stay Mrs. I’crrinc, is not known as yet, In
the other case it is said that there must be a
divorce, Mr. Mix being engaged to a young
lady living-near Hudson—N. 1'. Sam.

The Sentinel tells the following story about
Engineer Rider :— ‘
“ Engineer Rider .is always equal to an
emergency. All through the construction of
the city water works he has devised methods,
of performing work to save time and ex-
pense, but last Monday he adopted a rather-
‘novel way of getting out of a difficulty.
,He was adjusting the gates of the reservoir
at Rock Branch, when the plate to one of
them fell from its fasteninga to the bottom,
in about ten feet of water.
way to recover this without drawing off ‘ the
water, or going down in the water and lead;
justing the chain, Rider didn’t like the idea
of losing the time it would take to draw off
the water, so he cut a hole in the ice and dove
down to the gate, adjusted the chain, and
the ice, and soon had the gate opcll again.
It was rather acool proceeding and quite
dangerous, but, as in all other calculations,
Rider was correct in this, and came up lumb
centre through the hole in the ice. eople
using the water musnft be surprised some
day to see him come Clit of their faucets,
for .if the line should need inspection, he
probably would go in .at the flllme at the
reservoir and take his chances of coming out
all right ill this City." '
A man out in Indiana is trying to get a

nothing of the kind has eVer before been

Gun. Smith, always thorough in everything
he undertakes, is devoting ‘much time and
energy to the work of improving the National
Guard and'pl'ltting the Brigade upon the best
possible footing for their proposed visit to

from the C’ouranl a report of a recent meet-
ing which he attended in Hartford;
One of the most important anti interesting
gatherings of the military officers of this state
‘00“ P1809 last evening at the new union _ar-
mory 0f the First regiment. Tile lncetlng
was well attended, nearly every commisslon-
ed officer of the 're imellt being DIR-SCI“.
Soon after the 'arriv of the distinguished
military guests they were formally introduced
to tile officers present by Col. Hudson, and
following a. few moments of social intercourse
Adjt._-Gcn. Trowbridgc of New Haven was
called upon to make some remarks. He'sald
much had been said in praiseof the mllltla oi
' this state, and undoubtedly Connecticut had
iti
got the finest organized mi a of any state in
the Union; in - fact it was the only state
which had a complete brigade, well offlcelted
and equipped and ready at-a moment’s no.
tice to take the field. The citizens are. proud
of it, the legislature was proud of it, or it
would not have authorized all encampment at
Philadelphia next summer, where tllc eyes
of the world would be upon what has the rep-
utation of being the best militia organization
in the United States. At the same time he.
would not have the officers think there was
not rent room for improvement, and that it
we (I be necessary to put forth all their ell-
ergics to make such an appearance as the bri-
gade ought to make at the coming centenary
encampment. He expressed himself as high-
ly pleased with the condition the First regi—
ment was in and the quarters in which the
companies are located. .
Brig-Gen. Smith followed with some re-
marks which were very pf'actical, and if fol-
lowed as they should be, will prove to be
very beneficial to both officers and men. He
endeavored to impress it upon the minds of
company commanders that ,the greater re—
sponsibility rested upon them. for the good
behavior and discipline of the men, and that
they shouldxenforce a‘greater respect for offi-
cers than has heretofore been observed ;-all
rowdyism 'or boisterous conduct should be
suppressed in , the drill. room when an officer
was present, and tbfi‘the proper decorum
should be preserved alltimcs even though
a subaltern should bein- Command. He- had
noticed some grievousprrors common to all
companies, such as in‘ wheelin s, the pivot
man would invariably come to a most a halt,
when he should take steps of nine inches and
make ahalf circle, and thus follow the in-
structions laid down in the tactics. He ad-
vised a more thorough study of the tactics by
the captains and lieutenants, and to read them
every day as a consistent christian would his
Bible. It is nobody necessary to be thor-
oughly posted on all battalion movements, but
the evolutions of the' brigade and division are
as necessary to be understood in order to be '
thoroughly posted on the position of the com.
pauy in, all maneuvers which may be re-
quired of it. A great many useful hints were
given out and many errors noted, which if not
remedied, would undoubtedly be criticised by
those who were well posted in military ser-
v1ce. _
Gen. Smith’s remarks were received with
favor by those present, and undoubtedly will
result in great good to the regiment.
There were present, besides Generals Smith
and , Trowbridge, Quartermaster General
Green, and Major Swan of Governor Inger;
aoll’s staff, Majors D. M. Read and Charles
Doty, and» Captain George D. Goodrich of
General Smith's staff. The invited guests af-

Our Board;of Councilmen held a. very hur-
monious monthly meeting on Monday evening
of last week. when much business was trans-
acted, mostly, however, of' a routine cllarac-,
ter, not so pleasing and instructive to. those
who so often favor them witha visit, as many
of the adjourned meetings prove to be. The
subject of Main stgeet widening and grading
was again considered, and referred back to
the committee for correction. The quarterly
report of the late city Attorney was received,
and upon its being read, was found'to contain
so fllll and explicit a statement of his acts,
receipts of fines and costs, and their payment
to the city Treasurer, it was deemed necessa-
ry to refer it to the finance committee, to as-
certain where all the money came from. Al-
ter approving of the. election of Eugene K ill-
ney and J. 'Wcslcy Dakc as Foreman and
Assistant Foreman of Old “'ell Hook d7 Lad-
der (‘o., and electing I). II. Fairbanks as'
Chief Engineer, and J. W. Crow and J. E.
Jennings as first and second assistants of the
City Fire Department, the Board of Council-
men adjourned.
The golden rule of modern politics,- llo less
powerful ill this city than in New York,
seems to be, that office is not for the people,
nor for eminent fitness, but for onc’s self
firsl, afterlvard‘for l-ronfes and bosom friends.
The success attending the trial'of our Rock
Spring water on New Year’s day, is still more
satisfactory when it was found that Engineer
Rider had shut off more than one half the full
force.

Rev. \lellemial. Brown.
The Rev. Nehemiah Brown (lied in the
city of New York on \Vcdnesday last, in the
851k year of his age. He was a brother of
Dr. Viraldo Brown, of this place, and was
born ill Canterbury, in this State, June 11th,
179i. He graduated at Yale College ill the
Class of 1817. After leaving college he stud-
ied divinity with Rev. James Matthews, D.
D., chancellor of tile University of the City
of New York, and taught in his family as
private tutor about three years. He then he—
came principal of the Clinton academy, at
East Hampton, L. I., which position he oc-
cupied about three years, when ' he accepted
a call'to the pastorate of the First Presbyte-
rian church ill Huntington, L. I., and was
there ordained and installed in 1824. '. In 1832
in consequence of failing health he resigned,
and removed to New York city, where he
taught the celebrated Pickett school several
years. Later he taught a collegiate school in
\Vasllinglon, D. C. His remains were taken
to Huntington for interment. Two daugh-~
ters and a son survive him. ‘

-UTILIZI.\’G Trumps—It seems to be a very
easy thing to diminish the number of tramps,
in this locality, if not to rngke them disappear
altogether. W'ork 'acts upon them as holy
water on evil spirits. They have such a
horror of the name and still more of the
thing itself, that the . bare. mention if it is
enough to throw them into convulsions, and
if it is pressed upon them they flee the ', local;
ity, as reptiles evacuated the Emerald Isle,
But there is no reason in the world why tens
of. thousands of lazy men should ,be roaming
the country living 011 the public and doing
nothing at all. The Board of Supervisors
of Orange eelmty, N. Y., ata late meeting,
found that up to the fat of November there
were fed and lodged at the public expense,
in that county alone, nearly 18,000 tramps,
costing $20,000. This exhibit led to the
adoption of a regulation of the evil, by re-
quiring -c.acll town to provide a lockup,
wherein every tramp is to be placed, on com-
mitment from a magistrate, and kept there
not less than thirty nor more than sixty days,
on prison fare and at hard labor.
A similar plan was adopted in a county of
New Jersey some time ago, and with perfect
success. The county was overrun with
tramps, and all sorts of crime was commit-
ted by them. Tile matter became so serious
that a special meeting of the freeholders was
called, and an inclosure was added to the jail,
in which was placed a quantity of stones.
An order was issued that every tramp falmd
pursuing his avpcation should be arrested and
committed to this enclosure, fed on cheap
but wholesome food and forced to break
stones for a stated term. \Vllen they had
served out their time there was a scarcity of
tramps in' that region. If beggars were
universally arrested and those who are able
to work were set to- work, and those only
who are feeble were taken care of, the palt-
pcrism of the country would be wonderfully
diminished at a stroke. . .

SCHEch’s PULMONIC Sump, Sn WEED Tox-
'lc, AND MANDuAKE PILI.s.-Theae deservedly-cel-
ebrated and‘popllla'r medicines have en‘eeted a rev-
olution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maxilns which have for many years'ob-
strllcted the progress of medical science. The
false‘snppositlon that “Consumption is incurable“
deterred physicians from attempting to find reme-
dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to yath without maklng
an effort to escape from a doom which they deem-
ed unavoidable. It is now proved, howpver, that
Consumption can be cured and that it has been
cured in a. very great number of cages (some of
them apparently desperate ones) by Sellenck’s
‘ Plllulonic Syrup alone; and ill other cases by the
same .medicinc in connection with Schenck‘s Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, ac-
cording to the requirements of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed lminterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was suppos-
ed, at one tillle to be at the very gate of death, his
physicians havingpronounccd his case hopeless,
and abandoned him to his fate. lie was cured by
the aforesaid medicines. and, since his recovery.
many thousands similarly affected-have used Dr;
Scllcnck‘s preparations. with the same remarkable
success.
Full directions accompany each, maklng it not
absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck
