\ in Q NPT'WEIR Gazette. Tuesday, March 27th, 1877. \ Editorial Correspondence. WASHINGTON, March 25, 1877. Dram Gazar'rnz— ‘ 'A'full week has passed since Congress a‘d- journed, and most of its Members and Sena- tors dispersed. A willingness to oblige some home and resident. Connecticut friends, _who have had various interests at the several de- partments, requiring the personal attention of some one, accounts for your receipt of this unexpected epistle. Connecticut is most un- fortunate in having but one man in her entire congressional delegation in harmony with the Administration. . No man was ever more faithful to the special interests of his own district thau'Col. Waite of Norwich, and no one is more willing to aid any interest or political friend’s interests, coming from any ntlicr section-of the State. But no one man em attend. in detail, to all the requirements of a population, so varied, so active, so in- telligent, and always so ready and anxious to serve the country for the country’s good, as the average Connecticut patriot ‘ Hon. Truman Smith lef t us on Tuesday for his home in Stamford, but informs us that he expects to remove to New Haven, which will be his future residence. Although eighty-six years old,he has as much intellect- ual vivaeity and activity as ever. The dc- parture of the aged statesman from the capi- to] had a tinge of sadness, as he said be ex- pected it to be the last time he should ever visit Washington. He of the old Whig, and aged Senator Foote, of Mississippi, now here, of the old'democratie school of politics, are the only two who now live to connect the past generation of statesmen with the present. Clay, Adams, Webster, Calhoun, Benton, Corwin, Mangum, were his associates in Congress, and all are dead. Surely, the aged Senator may feel that he has outlived his time. Hon. Daniel Chadwick, of Old Lyme, was here last week in company with Congressman JOhn T. Waite. Mr. C. was a school-mate with President Hayes in boyhood, and for four years classmate at the Columbia. Law School. The greeting given Chadwick by his aforetimc school-fellow was most hearty and sincere. , Senator Barnum returned here last week after an absence of some ten days, but he left again Friday to attend to his pressingbusiness engagements in Connecticut. His family still remain here and will not return to their home at Lime Rock till the season is farther advanced. The story that the Senator was up in New Hampshire helping the lion. Frank Jones in his purchase of “mules,” the Senator authorizes us to say was entirely un- founded. His absence from here during the closing hours of the Senate, was caused by pressing business engagements of a private nature only. Senator Eaton and Mrs. Eaton left for Hartford on Tuesday last. Hon. Marshall Jewell is expected here the present week. As he has nothing to ask for himself and little for his friends, the President will receive him most heartily, as it is well-known he is held in especial esteem and favor by President Hayes. Indeed, Mr. Hayes is now gdeavoring to carry out the very same sys- tems of true and genuine reform, that is said to have caused to Treasurer Bristow and Mr. Jewell a loss of prestige with the late admin. istration. _ Chas. H. Betts was on Wednesday commis- sioned postmaster at Wilton, to fill the va- cancy caused by the death of Albert Sey- mour. A feeble effo was made to replace Capt. Burr, postmast at Westport, but as the Captain’s commission does not empire for several years to come, the result of the move- ment will prove very discouraging to his expectant successor. Ex-P. M. Gen. Tyner, who is is now at head of the appointm bureau of the Department, assured as th while the right to hold office was not the prerogative of any one man or set of men, still the Postal Department would in no case rem0ve a capable, efficient and meritorious officer, because by reason of long service he may have added the advantages of much ex- perience to his other qualifications. And in no event would a change be made for the sole reason that another equally good friend of the party craved the place with a fresher and keener appetite than might be evinced by the incumbent. In the matter of appointing postmasters and of foreign represenatives of the Government, it will be the general rule to select new officials only at the expiration of the term for which the respective incumbents have been“ commissioned, unless the public service is to be benefitted by a sooner change and appointment of some new man to fill the place. The President, with a good deal of Mr. Lincoln’s naivete, observed, that “the con- stant changing of tenants was pretty sure to skin the farm,” and he thought that the same principle would be very sure to rule in a constant changing of our public servants. Meantime, there is a very lively contest go- ing on here over the Baltimore and Mobile post offices. Double delegations from both cities dogged the President all last week, in season and out of season. He was finally forced to say to the Mobile men, with some warmth, that he intended to take ample time for the consideration of all applications for office, and that it was a tax upon his pa- tience, and occupied his time, which should be devoted to momentous public qusstions, to be so frequently troubled on such small sub- jects. The callers are generally on hand at the White House before the President enters his office, and these include not only the “person- al” oflice-seckers, but also members of Con- » gress and other persons of prominence who are eager to get the ear of the President. When all the officials have had their audi- ences, all who desire to see the President are admitted at once, and all have an equal chance. The President disposes of them very rapidly. but not diseourteously. He listens with attention to every one. His an-. swers are always given in a kindly manner, whether favorable or unfavorable. The President continues to grow in person- al popularity,while Mrs. Hayes and her child- ren have inspired, universal favor. No more. capable and winning lady has ever graced the White House. Her motherly good sense, personal grace of mind and manners, charm all who meet her, while her perfect independ- ence of all mere “society” nonesense and fol- ly, command the hearty praises of all good and true people. She is is a devout Christian mother, and both she and her husband out- spoken and unreserved in their detestation of all intoxicating beverages. Of the President, it may be said, he neither uses strong drinks of any kind, tobacco in any shape, or even indulges in vulgar or profane language. The family walk to church as modestly and unos- tentatiously as the liumblest family in Nor- walk. Who ever deems mere “style” a nec- essary concomitant of the occupants of the White House, are doomed to woeful disap- pointment. Shams have no attractions to the present inmates of the executive mansion. And yet there is no lack of gentility, and the honest refinements of a true culture. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes have‘ already given a shock to the shoddyites who float around powerlikc millers about a candle. He, by receiving at last Saturday’s reception with his gloves off, and she, by having appeared twice in the some dress. But we will let a lady correspondent, who was present at Mrs. Hayes’ second reception on Saturday week, tell the story in her own way as follows : — “President Hayes evidently meditates re- forming many evils now and long existing and it is manifest that his gude-wife no less intends to work a blessed change in her own sphere. She is capable of doing it, as has been shown in the short time she has been among us. That many of the acknowledged leaders of fashion could be induced to appear twice in public in the same costume during the same season. Mrs. Hayes has done it al- ready. In one week she has worn.the same dress to two grand receptions and it was not an intricate conglomeration of laces, silks, flowers, rallies and furbelows either, but a plain black silk trimmed with folds and tin- ‘ished at the neck and wrists with rich point lace. Her hair she wearsin the old fashioned but becoming way in which it was her cus- tom to arrange it in the days of auld lang syne. when young Rutherford wooed and won her. Mrs Hayes was born in Chiliicothe, the ancient metropolis, once the Capitol of the Northwestern Territory, and for_ several years the Capital of the State of Ohio. She was Lucy Webb, daughter of Dr. Webb and grand-daughter of Dr. Isaac Cook. She was uncommonly well educated for a young lady of those times, and this was one of the things that attracted her to R. B. . Hayes while yet in college. She married him a lawyer, who afterwards became a soldier, then a congress. man, then governor and now President of the United States. A woman of strong natural powers of mind, she has added to - them the years of culture and the good word of a really christian heart, mind and might. Of her it is well said, “Mrs. Hayes will bring none of the vices of fashion into our republi- can court. IIer influence there will be decided- ly of a conservative character. She has thus far schooled lierschf to believe that there is a higher mission for women than a study of the Paris fashions. She has been courageous enough, for instance, during all these days of friz, puff and frowzy-lieadedness into wlnch ninety-nine liundretlis of the women have run, to maintain the simple style which she adopted years ago for dressing her back hair. It is placed smoothly and neatly well down on the sides of her face, then passed over the cars, where a finger puff is the only effort at ornament. This will be the style she will follow at the White House. Brit if her hair is wornppla‘n, it does not follow that she is dull in society. On the contrary her intelli- gent features are the home of grace and good sense, and in conversation she has few super- iors." _ - Owing to indisposition, Mrs. Hayes’ public reception announced for yesterday evening, had to be omitted- The same set of back-biting and black- mailing scamps who were so active in creat- ing a feeling of jealous hostility in the mind of Gen. Grant against Secretary Bristow and our Marshall Jewell, have just tried their hands in setting afloat some abominable libels on ASst. Sec. Conant. A certain member of the secret service force, whom We have fre- quently observed the past session, holding the closest and most confidential interviews with the bitterest enemies in Congress of the party that has kept him in office, is said to be the prime mover in this totally untrue and and shameless attack upon one of the most laborious, faithful and conscientious of all our public functionaries. It is indeed a sad necessity that permits these graccless scoun- drels of the “secret detective service,” to fatten on the revenue of the government, while they slander and maligu all purer than themselves. Mr. Conant is a New Hampshire man, who came here iii ill-health and without friends or political aid of any sort, secured a subordinate position in the Treasury, and by dint of his own high character and upon merit alone has worked his way to the lst Asst- Sec.‘ Of the Treasury, which position he has filled with marked ability, frequently having been the sole head of that monster institution, pending the many changes in there and the long illness of the late Secretary Merrill. Quite a spirited antagonism is being waged, it is said, between Secretary Evarts and Sen- ator Conkling, as to the proper person to be made Surveyor of the Port of New York. The report of the sudden and mysterious departure of ex-Mayor Hall, who used to favor Norwalk with his summer presence and residence, seems to have excited little 'sur- prise at the State Department, from. which it is conjectured the return of certain parties from abroad probably had something to do with his departure. A distressing murder case now agitates the city. The man who had long assisted the old electgican of the capitol in lighting the gas, and who was removed to give place to a democrat, strayed into the House engine room where he got into an angry altercation with the newly appointed engineer. The engine party seized an ax helvc and struck the electrician several times on the head, causing his death last Friday from fracture of the skull. The engineer is stated to be a New York democratic “striker” and a rough, 'and a man of the vilest character. This is his second broil since he became House Engineer, but he will not be likely to show his want of skill in running his engine again this winter. Fred Douglass, who was confirmed as Marshall of the District by democratic votes, and in whose behalf the cx—rcbel Gen. Mor- gan made an eloquent plea in Executive Ses- sion, is conducting his office in a way to satisfy every one having business with him. Columbus Alexander, one of the hottest of the confederate sympathiziug democrats of Washington volunteered himself as one of Douglas’s boudsmcn. . C. C. Sniffin, of Stepney Conn., who has so long been the Executive Secretary at the White House, has been advanced to a post- mastership in the army with the rank and pay of a major. Henry Swan has returned home after a’ short, but unsuccessful effortto secure some rcmunerative position. The Washington Telegram, now the only democratic paper left alive, and which has shown chagrin and its utter refusal to be comforted, since Hayes’ inauguration, by keeping its column rules upside down and appearing as a perpetual mourner, gives its party this wholesome advice in .a double- leadcd editorial on Friday. The Democratic ’arty. as DEAD AS A .uchnrmL. There ,is no use further disguising the plain and palpable fact, that the time honor- ed Democratic party, is as dead as a mackerel and it cannot be resurrected. The people, who flocked to its ranks in a grand, solid mass, all over the country, have lost confi- dence in the leaders, they unfortunately selected to represent them. The late elec- tion in New Hampshire, has fully and fairly demostrated the above facts. The masses of honest people, who enrolled themselves under its banners, to better the frightful condition of things, under radical misrule, finding that they have been sold out, and betrayed by false men, at the helm have become so dis- gusted, that they are leaving the sinking concern, in droves, like rats abandoning a ship in the same condition. ° Could not the leaders of the Connecticut democracy learn wisdom from this wail of despair. As ever, B. \ ' ———-i_ ' The Fairfield County Savings Bank has an announcement of interest to depositors in our adv. columns. This ‘new institution seems to be winning its way rapidly into pop ular favor, and having, considering the hard times, an unsualyr large increase of deposits. This only shows the public confidence in its managers, however. ' The eastern papers have been trying to re- vive an old sensation. They reported that a son of Mrs. Selleek who was murdered in New Canaan is lying very sick and knowing that he must soon die, “yesterday” confessed to the murder of his mother, &c. The story is an old one, and why it should have been started again at this time is a mystery. The New York Graphic has” for several years past made a speciality of publishing illustrations of the various towns and vil- lages adjacent to the great city. Their artist Mr. Wm. S. Pike is now canvassing Norwalk, for the purpose, if sufficiently encouraged, of making sketches of different parts of the town, )ublic and private build- ings, etc., to be printed in an early number of the Daily Graphic. Of course he will succeed, for old Norwalk is always bound to make as good a show anywhere-as any sister town other size in the country, and for beautiful bits of landscape or neat and tasty buildings (town house excepted) we can compare favorably with any. .____..—.— It is now announced positively by the Tribune that Tweed will be released. this week, be having made restoration in part of his share of the spoils and agreed to give evidence at chcny’s trial. It is said that he will implicate many others who have not as yet figured in public as partners, and that hey will be compelled to disgorgc. Honor among thieves seems to be about played. out.

He disappeared suddenly on Friday week without leaving any clue behind. Some think he has been murdered, others that he has committed suicide, others that it is one of his practical jokes and that he will soon re-appcar, while a host of others say it was on account of the approaching release Of Boss Tweed and the trial of Peter B. Sweeney as there was evidence to be produced then that would probably cause his arrest for complicity in the Ring frauds. It is thought -by this class that he left on Saturday’s steam- er for Europe, therefore her arrival out is anxiously looked for by his friends. .____._.....s_. We would call the Ladies attention to the advertisement of Messrs. A. Dickcrmandr Son, South Norwalk, who announce new lots of carpets, dry goods, &c.

They occupy one of the finest stores in the city, on Washington street and for probity and fair dealing are probably equal to any in the land.

Not having been heard of up to noon, it is supposed that she may have been lost during the reeentstorm, as she was mere- ly a shell, without ballast, her engi and other heavy material not having yet b u put on board. Great anxiety is felt at the office of the agents. She was owned by R. Cornell White.

It has passed a number of judicious acts whichwill shortly appear in the publication of the laws. Con cord Division S. of T. Anniversary exercises were observed on Friday evening last by Concord Division, No. 2, S. of T. The Society was instituted thirty;three years ago. A few of the surviv- ing charter members yet, retain their mem- bership but only one, Gould D. Jennings, was able to be present on this occasion. Many of the neighboring Divisions had been invited to attend this meeting and the invita- tions were generally accepted. New Canaan, Silver Mine and Wilton were well represent- ed. Each of these places contains one active and prosperous division. Members of other divisions were also present and at an early hour the meeting was opened to friends of the members. Soon after the initiation of two new mem- bers the business meeting'of the Division was closed and the anniversary cxcises commenced. Mr; Lewis Hubbell was chairman of the committee of arrangements, Frank S. Fan- cher, \V. P. presided. The choir consisted of members of the Division and a few invited fricnds,and many times during the evening they favored the meeting with choiCe songs suited to the occasion. The exercises were interspersed with rccitations by members of the Division. The principal feature of the entertainment was the great number of short and interest- ing addresses made by members of the Divi- sions represented, as they were called uponby W. P. Fancher after he had opened the meet- ing by giving a short sketch of the history of Concord Division. Col. Turner, of New York, Edwin Hoyt, Joseph Scofield, the Osborne brothers, and —- Benedict, of New Canaan. Cobke, Gilbert, Knapp, Frank Comstock, Wilton, Mrs. W. A. Kellogg, S Guthrie, of Silver Mine. G. D. Jennings and others of Concord Division responded to the calls on them and many others equally capable, would have done so had the time permitted. A haifdsomc boquct had been prepared and was presented by Mrs. W'm. A. Kellogg in the name .of Concord Division to Mrs. R. L. Ells, “Who is unable to meet with us,” and was accepted with warm thanks by her husband. The new feature of such entertainments, no refreshments, was adopted and met the approval of all present. - At eleven o’clock the meeting closed. Tuesday evening (to night) Wilton Division hold a similar meeting, its first anniversary in the Wilton Congregational Church. Suc- cess to them. The Sunday Case. The case of the South Norwalk Barber, Gustave Pitsner, for violation of the Sunday law, was heard by Justice Stuart, at the Town House, yesterday afternoon. Plea was made by the prisoner’s counsel that the Justice did not have jurisdiction. This was over-ruled by the Judge, who decided that the act doing away with the City Court, gave any of the town justices jurisdiction over misdemeanors committed in the city. A motion was then made to appeal to the Superior Court on the question of jurisdiction, was granted. Bond was then given inthc sum of fifty dollars. The Norwalk Mills have temporarily re- sumed werk, starting up yesterday. It is confidently hoped and expected that arrange- ments will soon be consummated for the per- manent running of the Mills. We all hope so andshall rejoice to have them overcome their troubles and again be in successful operation. Knight Templars. The annual Conclave of the Commandery of Knight Templars of the State of Connec‘ icut, was held in St. John’s Hall, (Masonic,) on Tuesday last. There was a good attend- ance of Knights present, and the following ofiicc‘rs Were elected :—H. Wales Lines, Mer- iden, Eminent Grand Commamler; F. H.

Agnes has a big reputa- tion and is well known as one of the charm- ing and vivacious Wallace Sisters, while her husband Sam Villa is a host in himself and has repeatedly appeared before Norwalk audiences. They give “Maple Cottage” and “Cinderella” on: Monday, evening; “F-rou frou” and “Two-off-funs” on Tuesday even- ing. There will be fun those evenings at Music Hall. The Pioneer Hook & Ladder. boys are straining every nerve to make their coming annual Ball a pleasing success, and equal to, if not ahead of anything yet had in that line. Our citizens ought to give them a good bene- fit and grace the occasion with a full personal attendance ; the company is a worthy one and should be encouraged. The Ball is to be on Tuesday evening, April 3d. Dr. Charles P. Uhle’s arrangement with Dr. Miller- of Massachusetts having fallen through with, owing to the sickness of Dr. Miller, he has sold out his medical practice to Dr. J. C. Kendall, son of Dr. C. H. Kendall, dentist. Dr. Kendall has been practicing at Bellevue Hospital, New York. The Kendalls will oc- cupy‘Dr; Uhle’s residence. , The Swear family are well known through- out all eastern Connecticnt as natural bone- setters and physicians, and enjoy a wide and enviable reputation and their services are in great demand. One of the old Doctor's sons has finally concluded to make a business trip this way and at the request of a friend has consented to stop in Norwalk for a few days and thus give our citizens, that is, any who may be afflicted, an opportunity to consult with him. His card announcing when and where he can be’ consulted will be found elsewhere. He has, we understand met with much success-in Danbury, Bethe] and other places north of us, recently visited by him. 0 Sad and Sudden Death. , _ Yesterday at 4:30 o’clock, Miss Anna Sand- rforth, aged 18 years, died suddenly at her father’s residence in this. city, of rheumatism of the heart. Yesterday she was well and hearty. She was taken in the morning, her father telegraphed for, at Norwalk, Conn.‘, and when lie‘reaclied this city his daughter was dead. She was a young lady of kind ' disposition, of warm heart, and in the little time she Was here she made many friends. Her grace of manner, her intellectual culture and refinement, her gentleness and her bright and cheery appearance, all tended to make her greatly loved. The blow is a severe one . to the relatives and friends, and a general sympathy will be felt for the family. We copy the above sad announcement from the Elizabeth, (N. J.,) Daily Journal, Miss Sandiforth was the daughter of the new Su- perintendent of the Danbury & Norwalk R. R., and washerc with her mother b few days ago selecting a place of residence or the family in our village. They made choice of C. T. Cernwall’s place on Camp Street, and are expected to occupy the same about the 1st of next month. Miss Sandiforth in her brief visit made friends who will regret to read thessd announcement of her decease. critxmwsr BY OUR LOCAL REPORTERS. As a result of theattempted enforcement of the Law on Sunday, Gustave Pitzner a barber, located in the Davis House opposite ' the depot was arrested for vi olating the law, by keeping his shop open. It is rumored that this was purposely 'done tomakc a test case,'and from the preparations made for the defence we may expect an exciting and per; liaps. lengthy trial. The eminent counsel (Giddin‘gs ‘& Barbour) have been diligent in the examination of all laws on the subject, and havenot neglected the thorough exam- ination of the city "charter. . The harbors .wish to abide by the law if it is found to be valid; but object to going-up country to have the matter decided. _ William Dowd a well known resident of the City, by occupation a ship builder, died on Wednesday last, of consumption. He was buried in Darien. An adjourned meeting of the Board of Councilmen was held on Monday evening last, councilman Baker absent. A' small lobby only were present, among them the junior editor, Mr. Rowan, Smith, Bouton, and your reporter, after the clock read the lengthy minutes of the. previous meeting, the business of the evening was taken up in good earnest and most of the subjects finally acted upon. A remarkable report from the 'City Attorney, on the compilation of the City Charter was read, and accepted, viz., “I find much gins has been taken in com- piling and arrangiiig the various sections of the charter. I do not know that any improve- ment could be made.” It was supposed no one but a member of the ring was competent to do such a work. So far all went smoothly without a word of contest, and not until Judge Craw called from the table a petition and remonstrance for a sewer in Washington street,and offered a resolution in regard to it, moving, that all the papers be referred to the committee on sewers, was there a difference of opinion. The senior declared the resolu- tion out of order, from which the judge ap- pealed, and supported his appeal by timely and vigorous remarks. After this lively episode, it was evident that the further transaction of business was just then entirely unnecessary, and an adjournment Was had till Menday evening, 26 inst. It must have been a herculean labor to edit the Sentinel last week. Such heavy writing must greatly rack the brain. Of the many remarks and comments on it, we have space for only one, which was made by one of our citizens who is not a member of the Old Hen Club, but a man of wealth and influence. His opinion, as expressed was “that such assertions were 0; no account or value, coming from the source they did.” The meeting of the Ladies’ Temperance Union, at Music Hall on Sunday afternoon, was well attended.

Mn. Josnrn F. Foorn: MY DEAR SIR :—It has been my intention to write to you for some months past, but since our return from Alexandria to in home we have had so much sorrow and troub e that . I could not summon resolution sufficient for the undertaking. Having never recovered from the effects of the war, and many very sad reverses since, and failing to get a situa. tion under the government, the accidental de- struction of my mill property by fire, and a large and helpless family in a condition imagination may paint, but is beyond the power of description on this sheet. Like Marius over the ruins of. Carthage, I could only view the ashes of all our hopes for sup- port with calm and untroubled eye, trusting in amerciful and gracious God to provide for earth’s sorrowing children,and this confidence in an Almighty arm is the only comfort and strength in‘the terrible privations we are now called to endure. Thank God I am not re- sponsible for the destitution that exists in my own family andthe South. I opposed seces- sion in every form. I warned, my people privately and publicly as their State Senator, to flee from this erratic Southern scheme as they would from the i‘pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday,” but to no purpose, and here we are, one not able to help the other, and had not the great heart of the North responded in generous aid and come to the relief of our people, starvation was certain and inevitable. Whether or not we shall have better times under the new administration remains to be seen. Gov. Hayes starts well and if he will keep close to the constitution and the law. God grant us a happy and peaceful time, a return to a better and brighter national exist- ence is my sincere prayer. My dear Mr. Foote, we are strangers to each other in part, but the trip acquaintance we formed in Alexandria, may have been a mercy in the Providence of God. I pen these lines from a painful standpoint, I hope you will pardon the liberty when I tell you that this letter leaves behind a family of sufferers, children naked for clothes and barefooted. It grieves me to tell you this, but dear sir,.if in your place and through yourinfluence among those whom God has blessed with wealth, you can send any amount to help us, I shall be most grateful to you. Anything will be ac- ceptable, and will reach us safely, directed as above. If among the ladies of your town any articles of clothing can be spared for the boys or girls, send by express to Fredericks- biirg, Va., which is our nearest express ‘ofliice, we shall be most thankful for them, and trust that God will bless his people who “clothe the naked and feed the hungry.” With my best wishes for the health and happiness 0; yourself and‘ family, I have the honor to re- main most truly yours. The, foregoing letter is published at my re- quest. I have withheld the name of the writer, who was once a prominent Virginian, out of regard to what I can readily see would be his wish. He is a gentleman of over 70 years, has an invalid wife and a large num- ber of young children. I met him occasion- ally in Alexandria, Va., last summer, and learned then something of his situation. I am certain —he is worthy. I am certain that- his young and large family are in utter des- titution. I shall feel happy that a good deed has been done if the generous people of Nor— walk shall respond to his piteous appeal for help. I will take charge of any contributions in money or raiment, and will forward what: ever I may receive to'cheer and gladden the old and young hearts alike. J cam-n F. FoorE.

Hubbard, Governor of the State of Connecticut. A rnoouaruron. , Men in all ages have recognized fasting and prayer as a religious obligation. It is my duty, as governor of this state, in obedience to apious and time-honored custom, to enjoin thisobligation at the present season of the year. , To this end I have thought fit to select'for this service a day which, by the traditions of the greater part of the Christian world, com- memorates the most solemn event in the world’s history. I do therefore by these presents appoint Friday, the 80th day of March, commonly called Good Friday, as a day of fasting, hu- miliation and prayer, and I cxhort the good people of this State to humble themselves in penitence, before Him whonfter His great goodness and according to the multitude of His mercies, doeth away our offences. Given under my hand and the seal of the State, at Hartford, this 20th day March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred and seventy-seven, and of the inde- pendence of the United States the one hun- dred and first. [I.. 5.] chnxuo D. HUBBARD. By His Excellency’s command, Dwrou'r MORRIS, Secretary of State . . Obituary. Dr. Samuel Sherwood Noyes, of New Ca- naan, Fairfield county, died at his house Monday evening, March 19th, in the 90th year of his a e. Dr. eyes was a gentleman of the old school, whose urbanity and hospitality were hereditary through a line of ancestry, most, or all of whom were clergymen for three or four hundred years in England and this coun- try, the first representative of whom in this country was the first pastor over the church in Newbury, Mass, in 1635. His son, James. became pastor of the church in Sto'nington, and was one of the founders of Yale Colle e, and his son, Rev. Joseph Noyes, was sett ed over the First (now Center) church in New Haven, marrying the daughter of his prede- cessor, Rev. James Pierpont. ' The ancestry of Doctor Noyes on the ma- ‘ternal side, dates back to John Alden of the Mayflower. ,His father, Rev. John Noyes, was born on the New Haven homestead, and was the intimate friend and associate of the late Aprahom Bishop, whose ancestral home- stead, corner of Elm and State streets, adjoin- ed his own father’s. He was settled over the church in Weston, marrying the daughter of his .predecessor and living on the homestead, which has been in the family from the first ced- ing by the Indians till the present time. Doc- tor Noycs was a more than ordinary success- ful practitioner, and had the confidence of his families to a remarkable degree. He com- menced practice in NewCanaan in 1811, and devoted himself faithfully to it till 1870, when a severe illness compelled him to retire from active lfe, and since then he has enjoyed the society of his friends and the oversight of his farm. He raised to maturity a family of nine children, five of whom survive him, two of them citizens of New Haven since 1831.

Dawes & Fanning, of 98 and 100 Franklin street, N. Y., is the firm that is credited with this delightful change. _.__’——— Something about Feet. Hannah Howard contributes to the Science of Health an article headed “Which shall it be ?” in which she discusses the question whether people shall have their feet in the state of nature or horribly deformed. As if to prejudice the reader in favor of having natural shaped feet she prefixes to the text a series of four woodcuts, illustrating the di- verse effects of comfortable and ill-fitting shoes on the members under consideration. She says : ‘ “When the cries of the large joint for quarters are unheeded, its wrongs are aveng- ed by a voice more potent in its angry call to the thousands of sensitive intelligences than any loud utterance conveyed to the brain by means of the outward and external media. "Tis a pysiological fact, too often demon- strated, that if the right of any portion of our body to freedom and room be infringed upon, it in self-defence becomes an oppressor by crowding and resting upon helpless neigh- bors, thus sowing the seeds of wedrness and disease in a soil which might otherwise abound with healthful development and ac- tivity. . “Alas i” that we boasters of our social, po- litical and religious libefty should imitate our blessed contemporaries; though to a can- tious extent. ‘ “I admit it does not seem to be the aim of those in boot-rule to render women entirely helpless, but to mercifully (f) keep them on the rack, cultivating and testing their endur- ance to the “last.” Beyond comprehension is the readiness which people exhibit to bring feet natural and shapely to the false and de- formed standard which fashion proclaims beautiful. “But when the unsightly, distorted, en- larged jointed and cornered mass of sickly flesh and bones must perforce be subjected to medical treatment and rest, then in the hour of afiiiction, and no longer able to fol- low her caprices in the matter of high heels and narrow soles, Dame Fashion is the first to shrink from her devotee. We think if the foot could but give voice to its woe, the la- ment would be equalled only by that of Car- dinal Woolsey when deserted and condemed by king whom he had so faithfully, and at the expense of conscience, served. * * * “A lady on high heels does not present a more graceful appearance than one on stilts, and we cannot understand the perseverance in that which is not only terrible in its effects upon the wearer, but also liurt‘ful to the nerves of the beholder, who is kept in a state of perpetual dread, lest the lady of the high heels lose her equilibrium and be projected from the pinnacle of her elevation. All con- demnation, however, cannot be 'laid to the .bootmakers, for the wearersarc directly re- sponsible for a very large amount of the mis- eries they endure, inasmuch as they select boots too small to wear more than a few min- utes at a time. ' If before the selection they paused} moment to consider, they would realize the fact that if the boot be too smal t must yield a certain amount; and after this stretching, the foot does not appear any smaller than it would if the boot had just ea- sily fitted the foot on the start. If this tyran- nical rule held sway only over adults, we might hope in time for regeneration in this matter; but no, it overshadows the future; our children are submitted to tortures ex- ceeded only by the devices of the Spanish inquisition. - .._.___ Why is a side-saddle like a four quart measure ?

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are SCI-IENOK’S lelromc Scanners BEA Wnsn- Tome, and Sennncx’s Manning: PILLS, and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected. - To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter ,in the lungs; nature throws it ofi‘ by an easy ex- peetoration, for when the phlegm or matter-is ripe a slight cough w ll throw it 011‘, the patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To enable the I’ulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck’s Mandrake I’ills and Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenek’s Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Sclienpk’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed mixes with the food and prevents soaring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, 59 that the food and the Pul- monie Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold. , All who wish to consult Dr. Schcnck either pro- fessionally or by letter, can do so at his principal ofilce,corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday.
