For Congress. _
Knowing, as we do, long and well, the two
g :ntlemen now inviting the votes of the
electors of the 4th District, for Congress, we
wish to treat them as deserving the support
the Opposition of the good people of this
:) ‘iilt‘I strictly because of the political senti-
n :..s null entertains and the party organiza-
: ms to which each belongs. To our politi-
.~ =l opponent we are ready to concede all
1 :lt his mostardcnt fricndg 31nd partizans can
claim for him on the score of personal charac-
ter, but on the Other hand, it must be con-
ceded that his election would cause a joy as
great, among all the bascr, disloyal, elements
of the democratic party, as it would cause
regret and dismay in the hearts of the same
characters, ,should Dr. Robert Hubbard be
'l-lected. We know, too, as do all our voters,
that when the contest fer-the Union wavered
:md the hearts of the most earnest loyalists
{altered and President Lincoln, almost in
despair, called for more troops, Dr. Hubbard
locked up his office, and surrendered probably
the most lucrative medical practic of any
physician in the ' District and tendered
his services to his imperiled country. To the
sick and wounded boys of the 17th :Connec'.
iicut ‘ and later of the whole Eleventh
Army corps, he needs no words of eulogy
from us. On the battle field, and in the
sickening slaughter pens and hospitals of the
war, he was as a ministering angel to those
who bared their bosoms to rebel shot and

and loyal constituency have laid the bur-
* upon him and he accepts it as a token of
; ~ir grateful remembrance of the service he
dercd our soldier boys, living and dead,‘
a l the aid he rendered his country by his

were you on,” and among whom were you

lowing, at which it is expected Hon. James
G. Blaine or “Bob" Ingersoll will speak.
Senator Barnum, of Connecticut, who has
been helping superintend the Democratic fight
in Indiana, was’in constant communication
with Abram S. Hewitt, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, during the
contest ; and on Tuesday Hewitt telegraphed
Barnum as follows : “Dispatch received.
Youmay buy seven more mules." Which,
being interpreted, means “You maydraw on
the Committee for seven thousand more dol-
lars." The result shows pretty plainly that
Mr. Barnum bought the mules and put them
where they would do the most»_good. His
next invoice of mules will probably bcgcon-
signed to Connecticut, though we should
think that Tilden and Hewitt would be dis-
posed to consider that the Democratic party
in Connecticut contained jackassea enough
already. -

New Voters.
The Registrars will close up their first list

Names should be handed in before that time

can be acted upon only on Election day._
Avoid hustle and confusion by registering
before Friday.
Death of an Old Veteran.
The venerable Cook St. John, of Walton,
N. Y., a native of old Norwalk, died at that
place last week, aged 103 years. He did
not appear to be at all sick, and seemed per-

death of Henry A. Beers,
. .r: -‘ not into Isaac S. Beers of Nor-
walk) wnlCu UCvu-red at Jersey City, Sunday
night week, was a painful shock to his many
riends hereabouts. He had taken a severe
cold, which resulted in a sudden congestion, ’
and rupture of one of the blood vessels of the
throat and lungs and his death from suffoca-
tion ensued. He was a graduate of Yale and
a young man of superior abilities.
Bush Owen, an employee 'of Street com-
missioner Harvey Fitch, was found dead in
inn-l, in a room in Mr. Fitch’s barn, on Satur-
(la. c morning last. He had been suffering
€11.31 :1 cold, and probably burst a blood ves-
'—: " while coughing.
The Way They Fixed It.
.l‘ho unterrified democracy of Gould's mills
in the town of Easton,were moved to the erec-
tion of a political pole. Being cautious and
desinng to put on a show of consistency as
well as of “reform,” they queried among
themselves long and anxious as to how they
should unite the aforetime hard money doc
triues of the party with their new soft money
heresies—or in other words—how Tilden d:
Hendricks could both be cxponcnted in their
piece of wood. At last one old buffer, who
had learned a thing or two in the way of giv-
ing over measure in his sale of charcoal, sug-
gestcd to have the butt end of the pole hard
hickory and the top, soft spruce! The idea
could not have been bettcrcd by Nasby him-
self and to-day the Easton democratic pole
bends its hemlock top and walnut base to
the breeze, just as that party will have to
do to the people’s verdict in favor of Hayes
& \Vheeler in November.
Admission of Voters.
The Selectmen and Town Clerk will be in
session next week, for the admission of voters.
They can act only upon names which have

The Election and the Prospect.
The great contests in the States of Ohio
and Indiana have passed. ’In the former,
the Republican victory is‘ full and complete.
In Indiana the Republicans lose the Gover-
nor, but carrythe Legislature and gain four
members of Congress, so that all the moral
eflc‘c'tsOf triumph in that election, is with
the Republicans. Blue Jeans Williams is
supposed to have beaten Gen. Harrison on
the soft money issue and the open and free
purchase of “Mules" by Senator Barnum,
who was out there attending to the finan-
cial part of the campaign and strictly confin-
ing himself to “Reform.”
In 1872 Hendricks carried Indianaby some
1300 majority, but notwithstanding this, she
gave her electoral vote to Grant a month
later by over 21,000 majority. So-that, as
we say all the prestiges of coming victory in
November , are with the Republicans.
The loss of six Congressmen in Ohio and
four in Indiana, is a stunning blow to the
democracy, before which the loss of our gov-
ernor, in the latter state, is as nothing. The
Tribune truthfully states that the most dis-
heartening faet to the democrats is now con-
clusivcly established, namely, that the hard
times, the demand for a change, and the cry
of reform, produce no effect whatever. The
Republicans hold every state at the North
which they carried prior to the election in
1872; they pollalal'ger vote, and manifest
greater cOnfidenec and determination. But
the democrats have relied with absolute con-
fidence upon the cry of reform, the hard
times, and the desire for a change, and all
these have thus far failed them. The omens
of victory are certainly auspicious. Conced-
ing to the democracy 138 electoral votes
from a _“ solid South,” there is a fair and en-
tirely reasonable probability of success out-
side the latc Confederate States.
All that is now really required to ensure
Republican success, is Work, wonx, WORK,
from now till November.-
Interesting Anniversary.
Judge Stephen Smith and his faithful
spouse, propose celebrating the slivtl'eth an-
niversary of their marriage on Friday next at.
their residence on the Newtown" road a little
north of St. Paul’s church. There are now
living but three persons who were witnesses
to the wedding two generations ago. One is
Deacon Lewis Fitch, of New Haven, and his
Esq., of Norwalk, brother of the Judge.
These three are expected to be present Friday
and will add a special interest to the anniver-
sary greetings. This venerable pair have
outlived most of their children, having but
(three) new surviving.
through nearly all the gradations of an active
business and political life. He has been our
village Post Master, our District Judge of
Probate, with numerous other local official
trusts, and been merchant, manufacturer and
about a half century ago owner_of the old
GAZETTE—a fact he remembers With more
pride than profit. His friends propose call-
ing on the happy and venerable pair from 2
to 5 p. m. on Friday, to offer their congratu-
lotions.
Novel Entertainment.
Mr. Frank Beard, of Brooklyn, the well
known American artist, whose novel chalk-
talk and crayon sketches in connection with
a‘dcscriptive lecture, have in other places
highly delighted and entertained his audien-
ces, will give his new lecture “The Beauti-
ful,” under the auspices of the Congrega-
tional church of South Norwalk, at the New
Music Hall, on Monday evening, October 23d.

the Wheeler 8.7 Wilson Band, at Music Hall,
South Norwalk, this Tuesday evening.
Admission, 50 cents for Balcony; 35 cents
for Orchestra, and 25 for general admission.
All lovers of fine music, will be pleased to
have this opportunity of a pleasant evenings
entertainment and rich musical treat; the Band
being such general favorites in this communi-
ty', it is unnecessary for us to urge our citi-
zehs to turn out to the Concert, for they are
almost sure of having a full house. Tickets
can be found at Prowitt’s Drug Store, at the
Bridge, and at; Peck’s Drug Store, South
NOrwalk, call early and secure good seats.
The Young Apollo Club.
' One week from Wednesday,—(the 25th
inst.,)-—this famous company of Singers will
open the Winter Evening Course, with one
oftheir grand concerts. Old and young,
alike, will delight in their music; and it will
be a treat that should be enjoyed by all. We
an informed» by the managers that a few
good seats for the course, can still b had,
and as the price is suited to the means of all,
those who have not already secured seats,
shculd do so at once. The price for children
forfthc single night of the Young Apollo is
only 25 cents, and they should all go.

Miss Palmer's .cxcellcnt reading at the
Opera House, last week, has been the theme
of universal commendation. She was un-
forlunate in that the gentleman engaged to
joiil her in some of her dclineations of char-
acter was ill and so’scnt another to fill his
place, who was still more unfortunate in
selecting his humorous reading, although he
was unquestionably a fine reader and superior
actor. Miss P. is invited to read again this
week, before the ladies of the First Congre-
gational Society.

cauisc and its defenders and there will be no
doubt about his election.
Is IT xor so ?—While many good, well-

Assistant P. M., ,Robert Booth, found, on
opening the Post-office, Saturday morning,
that someone had been there while he slum-

had been bored out sufficiently to admit
a man’s arm through. In this way the doors
had been unlocked and unboltcd, giving free
access to the office. Every drawer and desk
was broken open, all the loose money taken,
also, the stamps of the denomination of 1, 2
and 3 cents. A large amount Of mutilated
currency remained untouched, also a special

number. A change was made in the establish-
ed width of Main street, while important ‘mat-
ters have lain over from meeting to meeting,
since July—were neglected. His Honor,
Mayor Ely, did not put in an appearance,
and seemed thus to disregard the unanimous
invitation of the Board to_be present at their
meetings. The city Attorney, also, disre-
garded the request to be present and explain
the Mrs. Waterbury suit, but sent a French

ing that the amount of judgment and cost be

The Tilden demonstration, at Military

Mr". Gallagher commenced speaking—very
tame. The “Bloody Shirt” was referred to
during Mr. G. speech 108 times, - and “My
Friends" was used 69 times. Aside from the
denunciation of the acts of Prof. Northrop
and Marshall Jewell, and the laudation of
Gen. Joseph Hawley, there was little but

The burning of Wm. St. John’s House at

visible here. The flames, however, reflected
themselves in one solid shaft of light on the

the one sidewalk-'on High Street, between
Selleck’s new building and Mr. Rumsey’s

making “concrete” for walks. The contin-

A new departure has been made by the
Western Union Telegraph; Company. For
several years but little attention has been paid
to their office in: this place, and the public
has hardly known of its existence. The
managers have nowsent Mr, .Harris. who has
had much experience at South. Norwalk, to
take charge of the office. 3 He has the reputa-
tion of being a thoroughly capable . operator,
.
. and an accommodating, Obliging gentleman.
He will make an effort to build up business
for the company by serving the public faith-
fully. Now, if the office could» only be
“brought to the front” literally, and not re-
main hidden from sight, it would be another
improvement.

In ten years, toward $800,000,000 of the
debt has been paid, or nearly $80,000,000 a
car. The annual interest has been'reduced
$50,000,000. The annual taxes have been
reduced $262,000,000. Since the war the
annual expenditures, where the democrats
found them, have been reduced $27,000,000.

done Or would do better than this? For
nine months they had the power all the time

Are the only medicines that will cure l’ulmon.
ary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death ot‘a'patlent‘, they look up
the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemor-
rhage follows, and in't‘act, they clog the action of
the very organs that caused the cough. ‘
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia; are the causes
of two-thirdsofthc cases of Consumption. Many
persons complain of‘a dull pain in_ the side, con-
stipation,, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-
blade, reclings of drowsiness and rcstlcssncsa, the
food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied
with acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a disor-
dered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons .80 affected, if thcy'tako one or two hea-
vy colds, and if the cough in the cases be sudden-
ly checked, will find the stomach andlivcrclogged
remaming torpld and inactive, and almost before
they are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and
ulcerated, the result of which Is death.
Shenck-‘s l’ulmonlc Syrup is an cxpcctorant
which does not con tam opium or anything calcu-
lated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mlxesjvnh the gastrxclluccs of the stomach, aids
di cstlon, and creates a ravenous appetite.
Vhen the bowels are costlvc, skin 'sallow, or
the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency,

Castor-Ia is a perfect substitute for Castor Oil,
without any of its objections, for it is pleasant to
take, and does not nauseatc or gripe. , For Costive-
uses at any age, but especially for Sour Stomach,

Children, it is the most effective rcmedyin exist-
ence. It is harmless, it is reliable, and it is cheap.
To Shake, or not to Shake '1! ,,
Aye, that is the question. Is it better to (mirror
from head to foot in the paroxysms of fever and
aguc, or to banish zthc atrocious disease by a
course of that standard anti-febrile remedy, Hos-
tetter’s Bitters. There cannot be much doubt as
'to the response of the malaria-stricken to this in?
quiry. From every locality on this continent whose
inhabitants are tormented with the shivering
plague comes an increasing demand for the only
genuine preventative and eradicant of malaria pro-
' vided by science. The denizens of fever and aguc
districts know how utterly inadequate to do morc
than give a brief respite are the so—callcd reme—
dies of the faculty. Quinine, arsenic, bismuth—
whatnrc these but poisonous palliativcs, which
cease after a time to produce any beneficial effect-
whatever, and if persisted in wreak irreparable
mischief up in the system ? Everywhere they are
being abandoned by intelligent persons, and that
genuine vegetable specific for intermittent and re-
mittent disease, Hostettcr’s Bitters, substituted in
their place. .. ' - 1m10

Gentlemen—Although unsolicited by you, I can-
not refrain from adding my testimony, to the many
already given in favor of your \Vrsrxnis BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY. .
In the sprin of 1858 I was most severely afflicted
with a. hard, ry cough, With its usual accompani-
ment of night sweats. completely prostrating my
nervous system, and producing such a debilitated
state of, health that, after tr ing medical aid to no
purpose I had given up all ones of ever recover-
ing, as also had my friends. At this stage of mat-
ters I was prevailed u on, through the influence
of a neighbor, to try istar's Balsam,though with
no belief whatever in its truly wonderful curative
properties. and before lsing two bottles the meet
was almOst magical, y cough entirely left me,
the night sweats deserted me, hope once more cla-
ted my depressed spirlts, and soon I had attained
mv wonted'stl'cngth‘and vigor. ,
Thus has this Balsam, as has often been remark-
ed by’pcrsons conversant with the above facts in
this Vicinity, literally snatched me from the yawn-
lng grave. You are at liberty to use this for the
.bcnefltol‘ the afflicted. ‘
Very respectfully yours, BENJ. WHEELER. '
