A Hayes and Wheeler club has been organ-
ized in Georgetown, which meets ev‘liry Tues-

Our enterprising townsmau, Mr. Horace
Wyman, has opened a confectionery and oys-
tcr saloon near the school premises of the
Military Institute, where the most delicious
kind of oysters and every sort of pie or cake
or candy can be had without going to either
of our neighboring villages or cities. May he
be like his great namesake a meyar Hora-
tzbus. .
A public temperance mcehing under the
auspices of the Reform Union, is announced
for Wednesday evening, at 7% o’clock, in the
Congregational church, at which it is expect-
ed a delegation ,of ladies and gentlemen from
Norwalk will entertain the - audience with
speeches and songs.
The temperance lecture in the church was
delivered by the pastor Sunday afternoon.
Notwithstanding the misty and cloudy wea-
thcr, the church was well filled. The Rever-
end gentleman took for his text “ Genesis 9
21. And he drank of the wine and was
drunken." The discourse, which occupied
56 minutes in its delivery, was listened to
from beginning to end with breathless atten-
tion. For proper conduct, by the way, give
us a Weston audience. \Vc desire no better.
It was pleasant to hear once more the me-
lodious voice of Gen. Jarvis in the choir,and
whose school we are happy to say is rapidly
filling up. TON WES.

The tlirce-year-old was awakened the Other
evening to see the Boys in Blue go by. He
watched the myriad of lights with lively in-
terest. The next. morning he fell from a
chair and struck on his head. As soon as he
could catch his breath, he gasped: “Mamrna,
I see more Boys in Blue."
Our fire laddies, had a good time in Nor-
walk last. Wednesday on the occasion of the
annual parade of thelFire Department of that
town. The Humane Hose 00., in particular,
are enthusiastic in praise of the kind recep-
tion tendered them by the Hope Hose 00.,
whose guests they were. They furnished
them with dinner and supper and treated
them in a gentlemanly way during their stay.
During the parade, Charley Marvin, ex—fore-
man of the Hope Hose 00., of Norwalk,
called Foreman Fay of the Humanes one side
and informally presented him with an elegant
model hydrant of wood. The article is a
little over three feet in height, painted a
dark green with gold trimmings, and is sur-
mounted by a miniature fireman in gilt. The
whole makes a very neat and handsome
present. Charley is a great favorite with the
Humane boys, and he may be assured of a
hearty welcome whenever he shows his face
' in Danbury. The Washington Hook &
Ladder 00., were the guests of Pioneer Hook
A: Ladder 00., of Norwalk, and were also
entertained in a right royal manner during
the day. The Norwalk Hour says the Wash-
ingtons were much admired b the ladies
who filled the streets. Which is not to be
wondered at when we consider the good
looks of the Foreman and his Assistant.
Wednesday evening will witness, if pleas-
ant, a grand tum-out of the Boys in Blue of
this county and some from the neighboring
towns in New York State. Stratford, Stam-
ford, Bridgeport, Norwalk, South Norwalk,
' New Milford, Brewstcrs and Carmel will be
represented by one or more companies, and
it is expected full 1,500 torches will be in
line. After the parade, a collation will be
served in Concert Hall, after which the Boys
will leave for home. Houses on the line of
march will be illuminated, and a grand de-
monstration may be expected—News.
STAMFORD.
The Union base ball club of Silver Mine,
under a. challenge from the Americas of
Greenwich, came over to VVoodside Park,
Saturday, to play for the silver ball. The
Americus not appearing the score was de
clared 9 to 0 in favor of the Unions.
As one result of the great Exposition, one
of our townsmen, who, it is said, has hardly
been outside of the town’s limits before, has
gone to the Centennial this week.

O
In ten years, toward $800,000,000 of the
debt has been paid, or nearly $80,000,000 a
year. The annual interest has been reduced
nearly $50,000,000. The annual taxes have
been reduced $262,000,000. Since the war
the annual cxpendituresawhere the denroerats
found them, have been reduced $27,000,000.
Do you believe our opponents would have
done or could do better than this? For
nine months they had the power all the time
in the house of representatives to propose
something. They reduced no tax, they did
nothing to improve hard times; they cut off
appropriations, most of which they will put
back in the deficiency bills.—00nklz'ng’s
Speech. .
..-o————
Bluc Jeans Williams evidently has queer
ideas of morality. He said in a recent
speech at Columbus, Ind, while talking to
the Greenback men: “Read Kilpatrick’s
letter, and you can plainly see that the Re-
publicans want to buy your votes. I have
been told by diflerent'prominent lawyers that
if the consideration of a bargain is $50 or
more it is binding, but anything under that
is not; so when the Republicans come to
you and offer you money to vote their ticket,
take it and say you will vote, but when
election day comes vote the Democratic-
tickct.” The twang of the “honest old farm-
er" is not perceptible in this smart advrce.

WESTPORT. ,
Three freezing nights and three cold, windy
days, during the week, have transformed
foliage from summer green to autumn yellow,
and Saturday’s drizzling rain began the work
of preparing nature for u long and dreary
winter.
The New Haven railroad company have
placed a much needed step between the
tracks and depot platform, at. Saugatuck.
Ladies taking or leaving the cars, will appre-
ciate the improvement as made, in many
ways, for their special convenience. Few
towns of its size, in this State sends forth
daily more traveling people than Westport,
and these, while feeling that they are liber-
ally accommodated already by onc of the
best managed roads in the ,country, would
venture to hint the propriety of the company
selling tickets to passengers (without bag-
gage), by Conductor Amos Herkins’ express
train, during that portion of the year when
the days are shorter than the nights. The
train leaves New York at 3 o'clock, P. M-,
and reaches Westport at 4:40. By statute,
must stop at the draw bridge. People will
get on and off, as if desirous of improving
opportunities, and they say paying to Bridge-
port for a ride to Westport, draws hard on
the purse, and paying to Norwalk for a simi-
lar trip, and facing the conductor for the
balance, is “played out.” Undoubtedly the
road's persistence in maintaining this train as
an express to Westport has led many to sin du‘
.ring twenty years, if dodging the payment of
extra fare is sinning, and these, if the road
says the word, will turn from the wickedness
they have committed, and, doing that which
is lawful and right, save their souls, etc.
'It is reported that at a late hour Thursday
night, suspicious looking men bearing a dark
lantern were seen moving among the tomb-
stones in Christ’s Church Cemetery as if in
pursuit of some object. The circumstance
is of no importance except as suggesting that
the intruders were of that class willing to
dcsecrate graves for the sake of the money
they may get from Medical students. In
this connection the painful thought arises,
what is there in a country burying ground
to guard the ashes of the departed from
prowlcrs like these, and who can feel assured
that the body of a friend, laid tend’erly away,
will await undisturbed, as he has been made
to hope, the day of final resurrection.
A pole 80 feet high, of hickory, suggestive
of the toughness of the cause and the candi-
dates they are' supporting, and which after
November 7th will probably be carefully
taken down and kept as a memento of the
change (2’) in national affairs hoped to be af-
fected but which didn’t takeplace, was raised
one day last week, by the brethren and friends
of reform (?) in front of Bradley do Wheeler’s
store. Saturday afternoon, at Sturges’ Hall,
in shade of the said pole, a rousing democrat-
ic rally was held—the most enthusiastic
Westport. has witnessed for years—when ex-
republican postmaster E. S. Cleveland, of
Hartford, James L. Gould of Bridgeport, and
Levi Warner, Esq., of Norwalk, made elo-
quent and forcible addresses on the political
topics of the day. Mr. Cleveland passed
Sunday in Westport as the guest of Mr. J. E.
Wheeler. Hon. James Gallagher, of New
Haven, was unable to reach town in time to
attend the meeting. The most amusing fea-
ture of the day was Cleve’s speech.
The town assessor goeth where the tax pay-
ers listeth, and the sound thereof will be

Mr. William Burr Wright was thrown
right out of his carriage, on Wright street,on
Thursday. He got right up and went right
along as if nothing had happened.
The republicans are to meet at National
Hall tonight, to talk over campaign matters
and form a Hayes and Wheeler Club. -It is
.believed sufficient interest will be manifested
to warrant the purchase of uniforms, torches,
etc., and to set out to help make the campaign
of ’76 resemble the famous “ Log Cabin and
Hard cider” campaign of ’40.
_Westport’s three market places smell strong

The village bridge abutments are done, and
to-day men will begin placing the iron-work.
It is reasonable to believe that the structure
can be made ready for the public before the
Presidential Election. Merchants, market-

good deal at the protracted delay in this
work, and it is hoped they may soon be en-
abled to change the pitch of their tunes.
Mr. Amzi Warren has the sympathy of

State Attorney, James II. Olmstead, was
in town last week, and with the Selectmen
reviewed the ground where all concerned will
shortly Zia—if they repeat the assertion that
the water accumulating on Golden Hill should
be made to run past the residences of Mr.
Charles Elwood and Mr. F. H. Nash, instead
of taking -a shorter route, via. of Wright
street,——and yet the order has gone forth to
plough up King street that the water may
find its way into Nash’s brook, a distance of
fully 1,800 feet, instead of being turned down
Wright street, a distance of 500 feet. Com-
ment on this scheme is unnecessary.
They say now, that, after charging to profit
and loss account, that $680 of depot road as.
sesscd benefits which are not likely to be
wholly collected till after Gabriel's trumpet
blows, and paying bills on account of the
new iron bridge, the Selectmen will find they
have’ut reduced the town debt much after
all.

A Grand Raid -on the Treasury.
A special despatch to the Cincinnati 00m-
menial, from Jamestown, Tenn , dated Sep-
tembcs 29, is as follows: The Hon. J. Y.
Riddle, candidate for re-election to Congress
for this (the Fourth) District of Tennessee,
addressed the people here yesterday. He
claimed that all losses caused by Federal
troops or by the Federal Government should
be paid alike: that all Southern people are
now loyal, and that no distinction should be
made in the settlement of claims against the
Government, but everybody should be paid,
and pledged himself to work to that effect.
He will probably be rc-elected; his doctrine
is popular with our ex-Confederatfs; they
say it_Will make money plenty and good
times in the South.
AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF CLAIMS.
The following sums up the amount of
Southern claims presented in the House of
Representatives at the last session as shown

out of the late rebellion, amounting to $4,-

Court of Burgesses.
Regular Meeting, Frfidiifl'pmmg, Oct. 20th.
A delegation of residents 'of‘Mott avenue
and Washington Park, appeared and askedto
be heard through Mr. J. B. Hurlbutt, remon-
strating against vote of Oct 19th, ordering
the curbing and grading of Franklin avenue
from Arch street to Union Park. It was
shown that it would divert a large body of
water from its natural course and precipitate
it with much damage upon property in and
around Washington Place and Mott avenue.
It was generally conceded to have been a
misunderstanding as regarded the consequen-
ces. Remonstrances accepted and laid upon
table. .
Mr. Isaac Sellcck asked for a consultation
of Court of Burgesses and surveyor to meet
in front of Sellcck’s Building and see if the
matter of their sidewalk could not be arrang-
ed satisfactorily to all parties. Voted that
the Court meet there as by request and view
the grcmnd and decide.
A petition was read asking that sidewalks,
curbs and gutters be ordered on both sides of
Franklin avenue, from the residence of Ira
Cole to residence of Lina Weed, Esq., and
also unfinished portion of Union Place and
portion of Union avenue. Referred to High-
way Committee to report at next meeting.
Petition of Rev. C. M. Selleck for permis-
sion to lay a sewer from his premises down
East Avenue to Norwalk Harbor, through
a lane between the premises of Warden Das-
kam and Geo. R. Cowlcs. Voted that peti-
tion be granted.
Petition asking for sidewalks on Spring
Hill street. Referred to Highway Commit-
tee.
Bill ordered paid of W. R. Lockwood,
furniture, $9.00.
H. M. A? J. T. Prowitt, oil etc., $13.38.
Referred to Committee on Fire Department.
Mr. Swan applied for relief from surplus
of water backed into a sewer running through
their property. Referred to Sewer Commit-
tee.
Mr. Dickerson, having received the $1,600
awarded to him by the appraisers, had execu-
ted a quit-claim deed to the Borough of the
property now occupied by him, with a few
certain exceptions of sheds etc., until May 1,
1877. Clerk ordered to have the deed record-
ed at proper time.
The Franklin Avenue remonstrances taken
up and a motion made to rescind the part
complained of, viz., fromElm street to Union
Park, westerly side. Carried. After discus-
sion the vote was reconsidered, and another
one passed, changing grade on said portion of
Franklin avenue to meet the requirements of
the case.
Complaint of condidition of Chestnut street
and question raised as to whether it belonged
to the highway contractor under his contract
or not ; decided that it did in part and in part
did not. Voted that the contractor be notifi-
ed to repair the portion of the street that had
been worked, and that the Highway commit-
tee work and put in proper shape the other
portion. Mr. Glover added to'the committee
as regards said Chestnut street.
Highway Committee reported result of the
conference with Board of Selectmen in re-
gard to broken stone for MacAdamizing pur.
poses, that Selectmen wanted $1.25 per yard
for said stone, but the Borough Committee
thought $1 per yard was enough, as contrac-
tors had proposed to furnish stone, lay them,
roll them, etc., for $2 per yard. Voted that
a dollar a yard be offered forthe broken stone.

reported to the police today on arrival here
that Friday night his vessel was boarded in

and crew into the cabin and then robbed the
vessel, taking forty dollars in money and
some clothing. A passenger on board, Wil-
liam L. Hunt, was compelled to give up $100
in money and his gold watch and chain.
The pirates looked all hands in the cabin and
made good their escape, taking the yawl
boat and thus cutting off all pursuit.

The democrats make a loud outcry about
alleged frauds under the present Government.
What are the real facts ?
to a resolution of inquiry from Congress a
the last session, sent in a detailed statement
of the receipts and disbursements of the Gov-
ernmen- from January lst, 1834, to January
mm, 1875, showing the amount of the defal-
cations and the ratio of losses per $1,000
handled under the several administrations.
The losses on each $1,000 were as follows:
These are the official figures, and they em-
body a conclusive and crushing answer to the
Democratic charges. The statement of the
Secretary made a further comparison for the
twenty-six years preceding Republican ad-
ministration and for the sixteen years of Re-
publican rule. The ratio of loss on each 01,-
000 for the two periods was as follows :

course of that standard anti-febrile remedy, Hos-

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 eradicaut of malaria pro-
vrded by science. The denizens of fever and agile

Three more cadets have been expelled from
the Naval Academy for refusing to reveal the
names of some of their fellow students who
had been guilty of some breach of decorum.
This may be in accordance with red tape, but
it is not good taste. The boys will have the
sympathy of the public in their refusal to be
tale-bearers.—-N. Y. Com. Ado. Saturday.
There have now been eight in all removed,
in the,“ Hazing of Riches,” which is a viola-
tion of Academy rules,but because they refus-
ed to turn informer on their classmates.
While the public will heartily endorse the cf-
forts being made 'to do away with the boyish
and foolish custom of “ hazing,” we doubt if
the intelligent and fair-minded will go so far
as to approve of the coersive measures resort-
ed to by Admiral Rogers to force these young
gentlemen to do, what he or any other
high-spirited. gentleman would deem an
unmanly and dishonorable act, in turning in-
former. Nor is this all; any cadet, who
should thus tattle on his classmates, would be
at once put under such a ban of disgrace
among his fellows, as that life there would be
a burden to him. We are led to these re-
marks from the fact that among the last three
removed for declining to eliminate their fel-
low students, is Cadet-Midshipman Edward
D. Webster, the appointee of this district.
Young Webster was a graduate of Rev. Mr.
Selleck's School, and the very soul of honor
and uprightness of conduct, and the first re-
mark made by his old teacher on hearing of
his dismissal from the Academy was, “Ed-
die has acted precisely as I should have sup-
posed hc would from what I know of his in-
nate gallantry and sense of honor." He also
brings home a letter from the Episcopal pas-
tor at Annapolis, who says, “After an exam-
ination of the case I don’t see how the boy
could have done differently and maintained
his self-respect." We guess here is a case
where Sec. Robeson ought to “ revise” the
Admiral a little, for the extreme measure of
expulsion for such a cause can only merit
~ public condemnation.

George MacDonald’s new serial, “ The
Marquis of Lassie,” is begun in the number
of Limll’s Lining Age for Oct. 2lst, printed
from advance sheets. Its opening chapters
are full of interest, and give promise of a re-
markably powerful story. For fifty-two num-
bers, sixty-four large pages each (or more
than 3000 pages a year(, the subscription
price ($8) is low. Little 65 Gay, Boston, are
the publishers.

We are informed that there were seventy
foreigners at Stamford, Saturday, from the
town of Norwalk, taking out their papers.
All of them cannot vote this year, to be sure,
but this solid vote is gradually and surely
swamping the vote of American born citizens.

It isn't often an epidemic of any kind pre-
vails in our remarkably healthy town, but
just now. the shingles seem to rage worse than
a scarlet rash. All the new houses, old barns
and hen coops are being re-robed in a cover-
ing of spang new shingles, and all because,
they say, that E. J. Hill is selling shingles
cheaper now than they were ever known to
be before. Not even before the war were
these roofing materials as low as they are
now.

Holmes & Keeler have their monster store
jammed from cellar to first-story ceiling with

OENTAUR
LlNllllENTS.
White, for Human Family.
Yellow, for Horses and Animals.
These Linimcuts are simply the wonder of the
world. Their efl'ccts are little less than marvel-
lous, yctthere are some things which they will
not do. They will not cure cancer or mend broken
bones, but they will always allay pain. They
have straightened fingers, cured chronic rheuma-
tism of many years standing, and taken the pain
from terrible burns and scolds, which has never
been done by- any other article.
The White Llnlmeln is for the human
family. .It Will drive Rheumatisnr,Sclatioa, and
Neurulgia from the system ; cure Lumbugo. Chil-
blains,_l’alsy. Itch, and most Cutaneous Erup-
tions; it extracts frost from frozen hands and
feet. and the pol-oh ot hltel and I“ ug- of
venomous reptiles; itsubducs swellings, and alle-
viates pain ofevcry kind.
For sprains or bruises it is the most otent rem-
edy ever discovered. The Centaur rninlcnt is
used With great efficacy for Sore Throat, Tooth-
ache, (inked Bro-n, Ear-ache, and Weak
Back. The following is but a sample ofnumerous
testimonials :
"lxnrxuk Hons, J arr. 00., Ian. May ‘28. 1873.
“I think it my duty to inform you that I have
suffered much With swollen feet and chords. I
have not been free from those swellings In eight
yearn. Now I am perfectly well, thanks to the
Centaur Liniment. The Liniment ought to'bc ap—
plied warin. BENJAMIN Bnowx.” '
Theyroof is in the trial. It is reliable. it is hun-
dy, it is cheap and every family should have it.
To the sick and bed—ridden, the halt. and lame.
to the wounded and sore, we say. “Come and
be healed.”
To the poor and distressed who have spent their
money for worthless medicines, a bottle of Con-
Iaur Llnlmeut Will be given without charge.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted to the tough muscles. cords and flesh of
horses and animals. It has performed more won-
derful cures of Spuvin, Strains, Wind-galls, Scrat-
ches, Sweeny. and general Lameness, than all
other remedies in existence. Read what the great
Expressmen say of it:
“NEW YORK, January, 1874.
"Every owner of horses should give_ the CENT-
AUR Liivrirnu'ra trial. We consider it the best
article ever used in our stables.

“GENTLEMEN :-—1 have used over one gross ol'
Centaur Llnlment, yellow wrappers, on the
rnules of my plantation, besides dozen of the fam-
ily Liniment for my negrocs. I want to purchase
it at the \vholcsal ‘ , and will thank you to
ship me by Savan amer one gross of each
kind. Messrs. A. . cwart&. Co.,will pay your
bill on presentation. Res cctfully.

uudl’oll-cvila'emoves Swellin'rsaind is worth mil-
lions oi'dollars, to Farmers. Liver -men, Stock-
growers, Sheep-raisers. and those raving horses

What a Farrier cannot do for $20 the Centaur
Liniincut Will do at u trifling cost.
These Linimoiits are warranted by the proprio-
