Letters and telegrams were sent flying over
to the Standa‘rd ofice for extra copies of their
paper, and after exhausting all that ofllce
could supply, such a pressure was made upon
in, that we were forced into the issuing of an
Extra,giving the much sought for epistle, and
of which some thousand copies were imme-
diately sold. By a' sigular coincidence of
events we were also, able to give in the same
Extrli, an faccount of the'arrival in New York
of the lone expected Reformer, , Wm M.
n sooner than being
‘Tweeflri‘Aside from its satiracdl thrusts, this
letter reveals a degree of scrambling for
ipoihs among our democratic friends of which
we ii‘lnocent Republicans, never had the re-
motdst conception. Had the election been
. carried as the exultant. writer prognosticated,
theré would have been a “happy family” of
democratic :placeseekers, unrivaled in the
history of political pai'ties. Success, as this
letter clearly reveals, would have been more
terrible, than the laughter that follows their
defeat. Upon the whole, the democrats of
Norwalk, have reason to be thankful that
they, (line for at least, have not been permit-
ted to nonletto power and place.
As we have said, the portraitures have been.
so faithfully drawn in the main, such a mir-
ror reflex _of.thc parties named, that about
every one has borne .it' lathe best possible
good humor This takes off the edge, of
what if taken in any other spirit, would have
been as cutting as a Damascus blade. But,
as the very'b'e'st pictufes of the ablest artists,
will sometimes show defects, we think the
author or‘authors of this most interesting
epistle have failed in portraying the charac-
teristics of all, withexactness. For instance,
we had always attributed our friendVHon-
necker‘s paternity to “broad and princely
Germany," instead of being an “exile of
Erin,” as he is therein imbrtalized. Then,
our ever active friend “Asa” is chronicled as
a sort of a lazy “ jerr'y-go-easy" fellow,
whereas, we all know there isn’t a more in.
dustrious worker among us either at his bus-
inessor in the “democratic vineyard.” Any
one having knowledge of Asa's aotz'oity after
the Charley Dean lobster salad party, for in-
stance, would not have thus biundered. Our
friend Burr Smith is put down as Borough
collector, whereas all know he held the ofilce
.of Town collector. The error is trivial, it is
true, but it robs the cpistle of strict correct-
uess of ‘ character.
The mystery in which its authorship is
The number to whom it is attributed, is
greater than those named as in the race for
the post office. It is laid, in turn, to lawyers
Wm. B. Smith and Albert Relyea, Mayor
Daskam and teacher Seymour, Justice Stuart,
Dr. Uhle, Wm. B. Swan, T. H. Morison and
ourselves. We were told quite confidentially
that the Mayor had resented the cold shoul-
der turned upon him by some of the would-
be managers of the party, and had communi-
cated “points” to the Main street pcdagogue,
who ih’ad done up the literary part of the
epistle. ' The Mayor’s personal intimacy with
Senator Barnum gives a color of plausibility
to this suspicion. Then its sarcastic wit and
man; peculiar expressions very justly lead
susp cion to Morison. Our informant, who
thought at least, he knew it all, explains the
Wmmosrm’
ly togdo as a blind.” We fear, like the letters
of Junius, the authorship of this letter which
has :so thoroughly aroused all our town
stupor, will ever be shrouded in mystery.
To all those of our democratic friends
who thought the Post-office within their
grasp and whose famished condition suggests
the figure of the hungry dogs looking through
the fence into the bone yard, with the drc'loi
of expectation dripping from their elongated
lips,:we would recommend for their con-
solation, a calm reading of the following
chapter from their disappointed fellow
patriot and sufferer, Nasby :—
Nasby is bowed down with despair. He
'writes to to The Toledo Blade that the hearts
of the citizens of the Corners are nearly
broken, adding : “The iron. lrez entered all
our soles. A nigger will be continnered in
the post-offls, and I, wich am entitled to the
place, will hev to live in a desultory manner

to take prominent parts. It is expected that
there will be a general gathering of the sons
and daughters of old Ridgefleld on that oc-
“ca'sion. The Hall is a large and handsome
two-story edifice, constructed by home
builders, and is well calculated to do credit

The Death of Mrs. Josephine F. Rice,
President of the N orwalk Women's Temper.
anee Union, removes from our midst one of
the most earnest and faithful Christian work-
ers with which this community has ever been
labors. She was born in New York, her
maiden name being Tharp.“ In 1862 she was
married to Col. afterwards Gen. James 0.
Rice, a notice of whom we append. During
the war she resided at Baltimore that she
might be as near as possible to her husband.
Subsequent to his death she removed here,
and has resided at her residence on France
street ever since. She was beloved by all
who knew her, and her zeal and devotion to
the tempted and fallen \commandcd the re.
spect of all. A memorial service was held
eulogiSIic addresses made by Revs. Mr. Jones
and Hamilton and others. Her chair and
desk were suitably draped in mourning. Sim-
ilar memorial services are to be held there
again next Sunday.
We append a notice of her late husband
which we copy from Harper's Weekly of
May 28th, 1864, soon after bis' patriotic
death :-
BmoxnisB-Gsxanai. JAMES C. Rios, whose
portrait we give above, was one of the
bravest and truest men in the Army of the
Potomac—a Christian soldier in the best
sense of the phrase. He was born in Worth-
ington, in the hill-country of Massachusetts ;
was a graduate of Yale College ; practiced
law for some years, first in Natchez, Miss-
issippi, and later in this city; and entered
the army as aprivste soldier when the war
broke out, Herose through his own merits
and bravery, from this position to that of
Brigadier-General. He fought in every
battle in which the army of the Potomac
was engaged except that of Antietam, from
which he was absent by reason of a severe
attact of typhoid fever. At Gettysbugg be
distinguished himself, as Colonel command-
inga brigade. on the left of our line, and
was appointed Brigadier at the request of
General Meade. He was, in battle, constant-
ly in the front, and exposed himself without
stint; but he was never hit but once, and
that was fatally, in the battle of Tuesday,
though in almost every battle he received
bullets‘in his clothes or hat. At Malvem
six bullets passed through his clothing.
General Rice was a consistent and zealous
Christian, aman devoted heart and soul to
his country, and ready at all times to make
the greatest sacrifices for the cause of Union
and'Liberty.

The Tilden and Reform procession with their
.hotéd marshal formed on Washington street,
and marched up Main street to the Borough,
conspicuous among that motly throng, were
the “standard hearers" the observed of all'
observers, in the darkness of the night. The
standards and motto “Reform” have been
well “Parselled” out to worthy advocates of
reform. '
Itfiis' toobad that the Parsells boys, who
took such an active pairt, and who bore aloft
those :noble emblems of democracy in that
processibn, should so soon,,and ins‘ourilawful
a manner, attempt to “Reform” tlie ’inhabié
tants or New Canaan addXDanbury.‘ Having
removed to New Canaan a few days after
the election, this community thought to be
rid of them, but in’their'new home suspicion
rested upon them as the perpetnrtoriot thefts
in thegneighborhood. , On Thursday last they
were arrested for breaking into a store in
New Cannon, and upon searching their prem-
ises, other goods were found, which it was
supposed were stolen, and which were iden-
tified by Aaron Hull, Esq, ‘of Danbury,
‘whose store had been robbed. '
These noted génts'w'ere conducted‘from

noted democrat reformers, took place at 0

frdin the lock-up, to the Danbury cars. The
procession was formed facing_scuth,.two by
‘coids, without banners or the American flag,
marshalled' by Orin Tattle, flanked by the
usual crowd of lookers on4-officer Tuttle in
the rear—urchins would whistle, “Tramp

last company of those sincere reformers left
ul,.to meet the stern demands of the law, in
Daibury. ‘ What a pity. «

Out-of-town parties were here last weekto
negotiate for the purchase of the fast and
beautiful Filly owned by Our friend Andrew
Selleck, Esq. One of our local divines has
been on the ragged edge of the commandment
fornist coveting, everytime he has seen this
promising young horse. . In some sections of
the country, a fast horse, is a clerical necessi-
ty in order that pastors may get from one
‘cbarge’ to another with sufficient rapidity, ,
but that rule hardly holds here, so we attri-
bute the clerical desire for Selleck’s horse to
be inspired by a love of the beautiful, pure

These Pills are alterative, and produce a healthy.
they are free n-om calomel, and yet more silica-
' clous in restoring a healthy action of the liver.
These remedies are a certain cure for Consump-
tion, as the Pulmonic Syrup ripons the matter and
purifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon
the liver, create a healthy bile, remove all diseas-
es of the liver, often a cause of Consumption. The
Sea Weed Tonic gives tone and strength to the .
stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables the
organs to form good blood; and thus. creates a.
healthy circulation of healthy blood. The com-
bined action of these‘ medicines, as thus explained
will cure every case of Consumption, if taken in
time, and the use of the medicines persevered in.
