The Better Times.
trade is reviving and general business im-
proving. The long years of almost total fi-
. nancial paralysis, seem fairly to have passed
- away and that the Nation is now most assur-
edly awakening to a new era of prosper-
ous activity. Fortunes may not be made
with the rapidity and chance-luck of the war
period, but being on a firmer— basis and the
country again on the solid foundations sub-
stantially, of a specie basis,.there is every
reason to confirm the well established belief
among all classes of business men, that the
terrible experiences of the past four or five
years are now to be surely followed by a sea-
son of unchecked prosperity.' ’The Good
Lord, over all, has blessed our land with the
most bountiful harvest of all descriptions of .
the earth's products ever enjoyed by us as a
Nation. The crops south and west, are sim-
ply enormous. Owing to an unprecedented
foreign demand, prices are good and the
farmers of ill ' c )unty s are already distributing
the unprecedented wealth, into and through
all the channels of American trade.7 The
New York Banks and Merchants joyously
assert that they have not been so actively and
profitably engaged for five years past as now.
Here, in Norwalk, the prosperous gale
now sweeping over the continent, is being
very sensibly felt, and renewed hope and
courage seem to inspire our hitherto despon-
dent and sorely pressed business men. Prob-
ably no town in all New England, has suffer-
ed the pecuniary losses that have environed
not only our chief business men of enter-
prising spirit, but our retired capitalists as
well. But, while the losses sustained by
Norwalk men have been exceptionally large
and depressing, so is the spirit of energy and
creative capacity, exceptionally large here
and we have faith, that with all our excep-
tional advantages of location, population and
ready capital still left, we shall yet more than
redeem the disasters of the past distressful'
period. Our active business men are capable,
careful and thrifty, to a‘ remarked degree and
there is no such thing as long keeping men of
such creative skill and energy, in the. sloughs
of business depression. The skies are already
brightened. Let all sieze upon the happy
omens of returning prosperity and move for-
ward. '
The Republicans made out well in the little
Town Meetings. They carried 70 towns, and
the democrats 69 (including New Haven and
Bridgeport), and 28 towns are divided. Last
year the democrats carried 85 towns, the re-
publicansJO, and only 10 were divided.
Both of the Constitutional Amendments
were carried, inthe State, by large majorities.
Sheriff.
John F. Raymond, Bradley 8. Keith, John
H. Ferris and James A. Brown, are delegates
from Norwalk to the Sheriff convention. We
have heard of but two persons from this
end.of the County, whose names are likely
to be presented, Mr. A. H. Camp, of Nor-
walk, and Mr. Crosby, of Danbury. -
Our democratic friends expect to renomi-
nate Sheriff Lewis again. He has made a
very acceptable officer, and if we don’t run
in a Republican, as we expect to do, we had
just as lief have Lewis hang us as anybody.
The Gale.
The terrible storm of Thursday night was
attended with two fatal accidents. One on a
Pennsylvania railroad, where twelve are re-
ported killed and a large number wounded,
in consequence of a wash-out of an embank-
ment. In the other case the engineer was
killed. The monster steamer Massachusetts,
of the New York and Providence line, which
passed Norwalk light about 8 o'clock, went
ashore at the east end of Long Island, about
midnight. Her passengers were all safely
landed, although a tremendous sea was break-
ing over the steamer. Early Friday morn-
ing, our propeller the City of Norwalk, had
her wheel broken by the force of the waves
and drifted ashore at Sands Point. She was
not very seriously damaged, and the Ameri-
cus coming along at ten o'clock, hauled her
off and towed her into New York without
much difficulty. Her freight was uninjured.
Trees were uprooted and broken and the
roads badly washed, bllt we hear of no other
damage hercabouts. At Danbury the Fair
tent was blown down and nearly destroyed,
and it is claimed that nearly a thousand dol-'
lars worth of articles on exhibition were de-
stroyed. The torrents of rain did very seri-
ous damage to the Patent office which was
so recently unroofed by fire. The cyclone
out at sea is said to have been one of the
most terific experienced for years.
Sale of the Norwalk Mills.
A} the auction sale of- the Norwalk Mills
property on Thursday last, it was struck off
to Lawyer Hurlbutt, who was purchaser for
the purpou of forming a' new company,
and going on with the manufactory. The
sale embraces the great Mill, its water power
and contiguous lands, all the machinery, and
the several tenement houses. The bidding
commenced at $25,000 and was quite spirit~
ed. A New York party fir a‘ly bid $47,000,
, when Mr. T. H. Morison followed with a bid
of $47,500. Mr. Hurlbutt then bid $48,000,
and secured the property. Its original cost
was, in round numbers, three hundred thou-
sand dollars. The reputation of its products
in the market was second to no other caesi-
mere factory in the whole country. The new
company is to, be immediately organized and
the Mill started up again with all ' reasonable
dispatch. , '
’The stock and material, on hand, were pur-
chased by Messrs. Chas. O. C. Betts and
Butterworth, for about half their cost'and
value. It is a7cause of special gratification
that this magnificent property is to be con-
tinued under local management and owner-
ship. "
’ The Republican County Convention has
not yet been called. At the last Convention,
March 23, I875, Messrs. Geo. A. Staples,
Bridgeport; Samuel Tweedy, Da'nbury, and
Smith. Fowler, Greenwich, were chosen
County Committee. '
The newly elected Town Assessors prompt-
ly commenced their labors last week. They
are all men of experience and good judgment.
Lists must be handed in on or before Novem-
ber ist. For the convenience of tax payers
one of the Board will be at the Town Clerk’s
office daily, and another at the City Council
Rooms, South Norwalk. -
The Democrats of Westport, who shed so
many crocodile fears over the misfortunes of
Ex-P. M. Burr, had a chance last Monday, to
have in a measure, made good his loss, but
they showed the sincerity of their professions
by voting against him for Town Clerk, &c.
Had Tilden gone in,they would have sailed in
for his post oflice with the same selfish zeal.

One of the Peculiarities of Life
Insurance. '
Mr. Henry P. Wilson,of Brewsters, N. Y. .
took out a ten year endowment on the 24th of
city, for the sum of $3,000. 7 He paid_his nu-
nual premiums for eight years,paylng in near-
ly $2,000. After the hard times he .found it
impossible to pay, but supposed himself_ en-
titled by the terms of ,his policy, to elghtg
tenths of the sum for which he was insured.»
He came to this city yesterday to collect the
amount, and to his surprise and rief was lu-
formed that his claim was good , .or nothing,
he not having complied with a clause in the
policy which required that the policy should
be surrendered within twelve months irom
the time when the payment of premiums ceas-
ed, and a new policy taken in its place. His
omission was simply the result of neglect to
read the provisions of his policy carefullybut
it was a neglect which is likely to cost him
some $2,400. Which teaches that insured
persons should know the terms of their poll--
cies, and not trust to the representations of
agents—Hartford Courant' 7 '
We think the 000mm _must be in error
somewherc in the statement of the- above
case. Surely no reputable company would
take advantage of a mere quibble to thus do-
fraud a customerfi The-spirit and intent of
every “ten year policy” as it is called, is that
the insured may cease to pay at anytime af-
ter the 2nd annual payment his yearly premi-
um payments, and shall receive therefor, “a
“paid up policy," for as many tenths as‘ the
insured has paid premiums. Thus, in, the
case above stated, if the party had paid eight—
annual premiums on $3,000, he was entitlgd;
to his “paid up policy" of $2,400. His omis-
sion to call for it, before the expiration of the
year, works no injury to the company and
does not at all affect the spirit basis of the
contract and we don’t believe there is a decent ‘
insurance company in Christendom that
would higgle on so immaterial a point, nor do-
we believe any court or jury could ever be~
found to so adjudge. Therefore it is that we,
are confident there is some error of statement
of the case by the Guarani . The matter is
of so grave consequence, however, that we
respectfully urge the Owrant to verify the
statement it makes. We have, ourselves,
carried a large life policy in the Phoenix all...
most from the organization of the company,“
and have induced many others to take them,
and, if we were to find that such a quibble as
that, would be seized upon to defraud a pat-
ron of the'company, we should feel that we
were in the hands of a company of sharpers
and swindlers, which we do not believe.

Robbery.
The house of A. J. Crofut, Esq., at South
Norwallr, was entered ' Sunday evening at
about 8 o‘clock, as is supposed, and robbed of
a small amount of money and some jewelry.
The thief or thieves, climbed up a post 1 of
a rear stoop' and entered an open window
over it. There was a wire screen in the
window which was cut out and the entire
upper portion of the house rumaged, without
attracting the attention of the occupants who
were sitting below. The jewelry was mostly
valued as gifts, while the purses containing
the money, as well as the jewelry, belonged
to the Misses Sears, of Buffalo, who were
visiting Mr. Crofut’s family. These burgla-
ries are coming rather early in the season and
it behooves all to keep a sharp look out, to
the end that such miscreants, may be captur-_
ed—or better, shot. ' A

.Mr. Fitch, who rents the Jonathan Camp,
farm, has been accused of wontanly shooting
a little boy who had trespassed upon his
grounds gathering nuts. He states to us,
that the cruel accusations is totally untrue.
He was out a gunning that day, but neither
fired at the boy named, or aimed at any boy,
although several were, as usual,. gathering
nuts on his premises. Mr. Fitch is a gentle-
man, who has borne a hitherto unblemished
character, 'and all who know him claim that
he is incapable of such an outrage on a child,
under any provocation. The father of the
boy,accused him of the crime and he could not
account for the fact that the boy was shot,
while on his grounds.
Danbury Fair. 7
The Ladies Industrial department of the
Danbury Town Fair was the best we have
ever seen at any provincial fair. . The horse
part of the show was of the ordinary sort.
The jam of people on the pleasant days, was
simply immense. We saw one of the A. E.
Smith & Son’s ancient Pottery Jars, painted
gilded and so richly embossed with raised
pictures as to render it a charming ‘ piece of
art work. If our Danbury friends could con-
trive to exclude the moutebanks and unlimito‘
ed flow of grog, infesting their pretty grounds
they would beat the state on fairs. -
Mr. John Cotter while Sup. of our Water
Works, devised a cast-iron sleeve made with

saving time and labor, as well as making a
better and nicer job, and so simple of appli-
ance, that he has applied for letters patent,
and which we understand are about to be
granted. He has lately applied them in Dan-
vcrs, Mass, and Newport, R. I., and has now
gone on to Manchester, N. H. to apply them
there. He basalso applications from Water
Commissioners of Baltimore and Annapolis,

At Bridgeport, Stamford and Grecwich in

mursof discontent at the way the ”foreign
voter" has "been kicked and cuffed by the
“managers” of the democratic party. The
native born democrats over there, charge, it
is said, that the only waythey could keep the
’ Irish vote at the late Congressional .election,
. was by paying cash down for it. _~ll‘hls,'of
course, the adopted citizens indignantly deny.
We now hear that'an independent ticket",for
County Sheriff is to be put in nominlition by
them, they claiming that while they have fur-
nished from two-thirds to three-quarters of
all the democratic votes for Sheriff, not a sin-

The Old Board of Selectmen.
There seems to be a spirit of mischief in.
the air, whenever we have a town election.
A tilt is made, first against one candidate and
then another, more for “ the fun of the
thing,” apparently, than because of any deep-
seated hostility. 'Our voters ‘in town meet-
ings, seemjactuated agood deal as the old
lady was who said “ her old man might kiss
the girls just as "much as he wanted to, so
long as’she- didn't see he was - enjoying it.”
At that point the osculative fun must cease.
Just as soon as it is apparent that Your. town
officer begins to enjoy the position or the
emoluments of his position, then, thereis a
dead set inadet‘o defeat him. - We probably
have never had any better board of 'selectmen
than that of the past year. Messrs. J. P.
Hanford, Wm. H. Ferris, and Platt Price,
sofar as their good judgment and personal
integrity are coucerned. But only Capt-
Fcrris, the Republican is continued for
another year. Capt. Hanford was. not re-
nominatcd by his party, while Price was
seemingly nominated by them only to be
“ scratched” to death. He was most numer-
cifully cut in the 2d and 3d districts. by the
new political friends he has only so lately
joined, but probably for the purpose of elect-
ing two selectmen from that end of the town.
The fact that he 'is considered by many of
his new democratic associates, as‘fonly a sort
of lumbar democrat, is no excuse for so cold-
blooded a slaughter. New converts as a rule,
are rev‘varded for their fresh zeal, and the
democracy of, the town have not strengthened
themselves by so mercilessly treating one
the best officers that party has ever given our
town. Whom the god's'wishllc destroy they
first make mad, and it does seem as if the
democratic leaders and managers _of the party
here in Norwalk, were really bent ripen sow-
ing the seeds of their own certain destruction.

A Main street merchant in walking between

A Composition to render Wood
Fire Proof.
Having noticed thedcstruction of, the Pat-
ent Ofilce, at Washington, I have taken the
liberty‘of calling attention to. the above na-
med composition. ‘
Dr. Fuches, member of. the. Academy of
Science, of Munich, is said to have discovered
a‘composilion, by the use of which,7.he renders
wood incombustible.“ The composition is
made of granulated earth and an alkali. To
obtain this composition, the inventor says:
You must dissolve some moist, gravel] y earth,
which has been well washed and cleaned from
any heterogeneous matter in a solution of
caustic alkali. This mixture has the property
of resisting decomposition by; the notion of
fireor water. When. spread upon wood, it
forms a vitreous coat, and is proof against
the. two elements» - This, process has been
publicly tested by the» building of -‘;small
structures 6 or'8 feet in length and of propor-
tionate height. Fire was, then placed_within,
of shavingsand light wood, and ,burned'on
the. floor; no fire‘was communicated to the
buildirlg',‘or ’dauilr'gé‘dbne. The Royal Thea—
trefat Munich, was of th'e’first to‘ap'ply this
process, having 400,000'square feet, the cost
was less than 5,000 francs, or less than one
thousand dollars, this would soon be mvcd in
insurance. ~ ‘ -... c: F." R. ’

An amusingafi’alr happened lately between
a coal dealer il’nd a purchaser. ‘ The latter
was very anxious to see that the former did
not cheat him so he (the purchaser) inspected
the weighing of the coal himself, and felt
porfcctly satisfied that he got his full all'ow-
once, without any desire on the part of the
coal-dealer to “shave.” However, while the
Coal was weighing, the driver of the team
would not help laughing. aware at the time
thatilre purchaser was particular about his
.vfu‘ll weight of coal. The purchaser noticing
the longing of ghe driver, asked him, when he
had received the coal,_what it was all about,
sictb’efidriver told him.’ “Why,” said he,
whemyour coal was weighing you were stand-
ing ori'the scales and was weighed with it.”
“Is, itpossibie ? Why I weigh nearly two
hundred pounds." “Well. sir,” said the dri-
-ve‘r',3 "you-are sold” “Yes,-” Was the reply,
"and I’ve bought myself, too.”
Tweed’s latest confessions as to the elec-
tion. frauds in New York, a few years ago,
are enough to: make any honest man sick.
He settles the point, long ago conceded by
all candid men, that Mr. Griswold was hon-
estly elected Governor, and was counted out
by the inspectors in New York city. Tweed’s
account of the Tammany cheifs assembled at
the Metropolitan Hotel, and employing the
telegraph wires with bogus messages, in or-
der to prevent the rural districts from a
knowledge of what was going on in the city,
is edlfying. Tweed does not think there ever
was an honest election in New York, and we
guess he is pretty near right.
Messrs. D. Appleton &- 00., of New York,
have recently republished that somewhat re-
markable work,-—which- had become nearly
extinct,—known as “Peters’ General History
of Connection " Very appropriately, it is
bound in blue cloth covers, as: t contains his
version of 7 what are known as the “Blue
Laws of Connecticut.” These laws occupy
but a few pages, and he admits that they
were never recorded as laws usually are, and
as other laws were at thatvtime, but yet were
enforced. Mr. Trumbull, we think, has very
conclusively shown that they' were never
adopted by the people, never authorized in
any manner, never enforced, and were simply
the invention of Peters. In other respects
the history is one of considerable interest, ev-
idently fair and honest in the main, but writ-
ten from a rebel’standpointmnd with the evi-
dent intention of’ defending the author.—
who was expelled from the Colony as
a rebel and stirrer up of sedition—and
bringing his opponents to shar'nc and rid-
icule. It is brought down to the Revolution,
and was originally published in England in
1781—evidcnlly for the English market. The
new edition is edited by Samuel Jarvis Mc-
Cormick, a descendant of the author, who
attempts to justify'Peters and to verify "his
statements. The-book has-some'amusing in-
cidents, descriptions of manners and customs
of the people, with the products and manu-
factures of the infant colony, &c., altogether
forming quite a readable if not _historically
valuable work. Price $1.50.

4 TEMPERANCE asp Rumpus—In a thriv-

temperance problem in a sensible, business-
like wa . A number of wealthy men have
pledge themselves to support a free billiard,
cofiee and readlng room to which young men
can have access at all times. Now why can-
;not something of the sort be attempted here-
in Winsted ? Young men will have amuse-
ment in some form. Yes, the will even‘
play the naughty game of billiar s! and it is.
right that they should. The game is one _ of
tific ever devised. Anice ieasant place of
such order . that respectable young-ladies.
would not be ashamed to _be seen there with
their brothers, nor young men he ashamedto
take sisters and sweethearts with them, would
do more in a single winter towards ridding
this. borough of intem’perance than" all the-
lectures that could be spouted in ' a hundred
» ears. .Who will help to establish such an
nstitutron ? ’ '
That’s the way the editor of _the Winsted
Herold talks, “like ainau of the world.’—’ , 7.

, 1‘ The town election is- “overan’d the curious
resultsare being earnestly discussed in the
highway, on the street corners, in the: office
and editorial rooms. One thing is certain.
The'cry “now is the time to elect two select-
men from this end of the town," had: its ef-
fect, and many, as was shown by the scratch-
ed ballots, were too willing to trade votes.
..The minority candidates on the democrat-

And now for the Legislature. Jack insists

A7 meeting of the Board of Councilmen was
heldo'n Monday evening of last week. It
being. elecli in night, all were anxious to
know the true results, an adjournment was
had for one week, not, however, before much
very kind and affectionate talk in regard to
the law and ordinances, was indulged in to
the delight of the Mayor and others present.
As the charter is about to be amended, it
may be thought advisable to make the num-
ber of Councilmen three, and have the senior
Councilman act also as Mayor, and legal ad-
viser and interpreter of the laws and ordi-
nanccs. 7
Two marriages are to take place this week
and the event is creating something of an ex-
citement, not that so large anumber is to be
present, but that they are to be so select.
One of the'authors of the slander published
in the Sentinel against councilman Selleck,
which the editors fall back I upon, repudiate
the charge—never having given the informa-
tion as stated. As the other refuses to give
'the author of the report, the matter has been
placed in the hands of a lawyer for prosecu-
tion. .
Rev. Dr. Mitchell preached in the Method-
ist church on Sunday evening a very practi-
cal sermon. ‘
At the last , election, one constable was
elected who is called the Mayor‘s choice.
Enquiry proves that other city attorneys
favored the election of one of the Police as
constable.- The experiment was tried a year
since, and after the new charter went into
effect, the following was the result of having
a policeman and constable in one and the
same person." The fees thus collected did
not find their way into the city treasury.
Better luck may follow now, but the matter
will be tested, whether a policeman, paid for
his duties by the city can also be constable
at the same time, and draw fees from the
town or state, and pocket it, or even pay it
into the city treasury. -

a well marked Consumption when I was. as it
were. in the jaws of death. I can scarcel find
language sufficiently strong to express my eart-
felt gratitude at the wonderful cure your Medl-
elnes performed. About two years ago I was
taken wrath a very bad Cough; Loss of Appetite,
Headache, Cold Feet, and a gradual declrne of my
physical powers. I felt that pry chances of life
were very small ; I tried the skill of several emi-
nent_ physicians, but received no benefit; after
hearing daily of tho wonderful cures you perform-
ed, I resolved togrve your vegetable remedies a
trial. After taking only one month’s medicine I
began improving rapidly, and in two months I was
entirelv cured of la distressing cough and chronic
diseases whlch ha troubled me for two years. I
cannot speak in terms of too great praise of the
virtues of your medicines.

Masses. Eon-oust;
During the past week I have visit-
ed the section of Michigan where the
Parallel Planed Shingle are manufac~
tured, and have carefully watched
the transfer of a tree from the forest
into Shingles, packed in cars ready
for shipment.
The logs, as drawn to the mill, are
twelve to sixteen feet in length.
First cutoff in eighteen inch lengths,
they are their peeled not only of the
bark, but also of a ringof from one
to two inches of sap. They are then
quartered, and thus made ready for
the Shingle saw. Standing .on end
they are sawed lengthways and from
circumference to center, the feed al-
ternating with every Shinglef‘so that
the saw runs straight with the grain .
of the wood. From the sawer the
shingles pass to the jointer, which
consists of two saws on one shaft,
the one fixed the other movable.
Passing between these saws the
shingle is made perfectly straight,
and the edges, absolutely parallel.
Passing then to the single saw joint-
er, they are sorted, the culls reject-
ed, the good ones trimmed again if
any defect is overlooked in the for-
mer operation, and then handed over
to the planer. Here they are sur-
faced on both sides, again sorted and
passed down stairs to the packers.
Here again sorted they are packed
in bunches. ready for shipment, slit}
branded “Oscar Fenn.
Parallel.”
Warranted
I have the exclusive sale of these
Planed Shingle in this.‘ vicinity.
None but the very best of the best
are planned. The planing itself I
consider adds not only to the appear-
ance, but, at least, one-quarter to the
durability of the shingle; Not the
least advantage is the‘unif‘ormity of
thickness obtained.
After watching tllcwllole opera~
tion Mr. Fenrl made this remark :—
“Mr. Hill, I aim at making a perfect
shingle. Possible an imperfect one
maybe packed in the Planed Shingle,
but I do not see how it can. At any
rate, you can warrant them free from
sap, sha e, knot or taper,'or any oth-
er imperfection whatever, and you
can tell ydullcilst‘omers toconnt out
and return to: yon‘anyishingles not
coming up to this standard, and I
will pay for them. 5’ _ I
Such a shingle as this Iota selling
at a less price than the common
sawed shinglewas sold for: twenty
years ago. I know of ditto-other
maker who manufacturdna double
saw-jointed Pinned Shingle. r
