i: lay. S. JaRaudall secured the dem-
. atic caucus nomination for speaker, dis-
tancing all others. Sunset Cox did not ap-
pear in the lists. The Republicans honored
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, with their votes.
The President’s message occupies about one
column in print, butasyet its contents are
unknown. What will be done during the
session. and how long it will be prolonged,
t'me only can tell.
Mr. Byington is in Washington, and will
furnish full reports of Congressional doings
during the special session.
Danbury Railroad.
There have been all sorts of rumors in the
air as to a change of management, control,
etc., of our Danbnry & Norwalk Railroad.
One story is to the effect that Supt. Sandi-
forth contemplates resigning, and that the
maths master mechanic is to succeed him;
and still another rumor has it that ex~Con-
ductor Wm. G. Street is to become Superin-
Darla-1'. whenever Mr. S. shall withdraw.
“c, i~...ieve Mr. Stniiforth has had some
, :ii of surrendering his position on no-
.- ' ~.‘ the continued ill-health of his wife,
0)-. nothing has yet been definitely determin-
ed upon in regard to his ofiicial connection
with the road. Another statement has found
its way into print, that the entire road is to
be leased to, and operated by the Housatonic
Co. This we are assured is totally untrue,
and all there is in the negotiations said to be
.ua 57.: officers of the two
. .» lusively to the little
liilL. .in . or the Housatonic,
ilfililfll, about. ~ 1‘: r: 13. two roads are under»
stood to desire some amicable adjustment.
Those who ought to know assure us that
only thus much has any reliable basis of
truth. '

The New Mill
organization is béiiig completed with most
encouraging celerity. The stock of the new
company is quite eagerly subscribed at the
enormous reduction, and its managers and
promotors are positive as to its future success
and profitablcness.
A misprinted word in our last week’s no-
tice of sale, was calculated to convey a false
impression as to the amount received for the
materials on hand, etc; We designed to say
that these odds and ends of stock were bought
in at from one-half to three-quarters their
cash value, for the new company, instead of
onequarter as it appeared in print. It should
be a cause of more than ordinary congratula-
tion that our town is to have this busy hive of
industry in full operation again.
That Life Insurance Question.
We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. Hen-
ry P. Wilson, of Brewster's Station, who as-
sures us that the Hartford Courant did state
his case with the Phoenix Life Insurance Co.,
precisely as it was ruled by that company.
All we can say is that we are sorry to be so
assured for it strikes our unpracticed mind as
very little removed from a swindle. No hon-
orable company certainly can afford to have
such a knowledge of sharp management go
out to the public. It is about as reprehensi-
ble as one of the modern dodges of some Life
Companies, to send a professional “adjuster”
to dispute and wrangle and offercompromises
to the stricken widows while their minds
are agonizcd with a bewildering sense of be-
reavement. We hope for the hitherto fair
fame of the old Phoenix that they will do
justice to Mr. Wilson and themselves by a
reversal of so apparently unreasonable a de-
cision.
The Sheriff.
We understand the movement on the part
of the Irish voters to vote independently
is daily gaining in popular ‘ favor and
strength. We are glad to hear of their deter-
mination to act independently of both politi-
cal partics in the election of this important
ofiiccr. When the intelligent Irish voters
shall divide up and cast their ballots for the
candidates of both parties, or for
independent candidates of their own, as do
the German votes to so large an extent, it will
be a happy day for them and the welfare of
this nation, where in the coming years, their
children and our children, shall possess and
rule the land. So long as they adhere blind-
ly to either party, their power and influence
are gone and they will continue the dupes of
the designing and selfish demagogues who
have so long flattered themselves that they
owned and ruled the Irish voter. The pres-
ent contemplated break is a happy omen and
we hope to see, as a final ending of the move-
ment a nearly equally divided vote support-
ing the best men and best measures of both
the great political parties.
Lost his Coat.
We suppose any true Irish gentleman is to
be pardoned for relishing a lively scrimmage
at a political convention, and waiting to be
in at the death, should a lively ruction occur.
Our friend Gallagher, it appears, when he
stopped over at Rochester to share the exhil-
erating debate between Editor Curtis and
Senator Conkling, lost his coat. The face-
tious J ecms says he might have known that
something would have been stolen from him,
if he mixed in such a crowd, but he had
rather suffer the loss of his coat, than endure
a suspicion that he had “changed his coat.”
The extra‘session of Congress may be a
blessing to the country from the fact that it
will, if it devotes itself to actual business,
accomplish a great deal of work before ad-
journing for the holidays. It is an undoubted
fact that during the regular term from the
beginning up to the holidays, nothing of any
moment is ever accomplished, and a great
deal of valuable time is lost to the country.
If Congress will attend strictly to the impor-
tant business which needs, its attention and
leave political wrangles and partisan bush-
whacking alone, it can finish its responsible
duties before spring and leave the country at
rest from political excitement to begin the
work of the opening year.
There will henceforth be no reserved rival-
ries and jealousies between Stanley Matthewa
and Gen. Garfield, as to which one shall be
Senator from Ohio. Our democratic friends
have saved us a world of heartburnings and
disappointed hopes in in the Buckeye State,
by taking the Senatorial contest from out our
hands.

ment. ‘

The Registrars are now at work correcting
and revising the Registry lists. If you know
of voters who have removed from town, or
any who are entitled to vote whose names are
not already on the. lists, report them to either
Registrar of your district.

We are indebted to Mrs. J. R. Scofield,
Rowaywn, for fine specimens of late peaches

good luck to raise nine bushels on three trees,
which is remarkable for this section.
New Voters.
All persons desiring to be made voters must
be registered on Thursday next, or they can-
not be sw0rn in. x No'names whatevercan be
received after that date, and the Selectmen,
at their sessions, cannot consider names which
have not been acted upon and presented by
the Registrars. So, remember, if you want
“to be made” a voter, you must be properly
registered as stated above.

Republican County Convention.
The Republican Convention for the nomin-
ation of a candidate for sheriff of this county
is to be held at Bridgeport, next week Tues-
day. We trust thc delegates will select a
good man for the position and one in whom
the people have full confidence.

The Fairfield Co. Savings Bank.
Dr. Samuel Lynes has beenlelccted Presi-
dent of this institution, in place of W. K.
James, deceased. Mr. Winfield S. Moody is
the new Vice President.
Gen. Apathy failed to reach Iowa, and the
Republicans came out to see what they could
do in an off “year." At last accounts their
majority was about 40,000, and still increasing.
Count their vote with Ohio and the Republi-
cans would come out top of the heap.
More Robberies.
The dodge of entering residences early in
the evening, and ransacking and robbing
the upper stories while the families were at
tea or gathered in the rooms down stairs,
worked very successfully here last week.
Following the robbery of Mr. Crofut, last
week Sunday evening, came the robbery of
Elmcnworth, on Monday evening, Mr. Mat-
thews’family losing $1,200 or more, in jew-
elry, etc. The thieves did their work early
in the evening, and made good their escape
before locking up was thought of.
On Wednesday evening Mr. Henry C. Ely,
Flax Hill, was visited, and he lost a valuable
lot of jewelry, etc. In view of these thefts
our citizens cannot be too careful in watch-
ing their houses day and night.
Admission of New Voters.
The Selectmen and Town Clerk will meet
for the admission of new voters,in accordance
with law, on Wednesday of next week, at
their ofiice, and at South Norwalk on Thurs-
day, and again on the following Monday at
their office; also the day before election, if
necessary. See their official notice.
Fancy Fair.
At the Opera House, every evening this
week, a Fair will be held under the auspices
of St. Mary’s Society—the first which they
have held in several years. They have on
exhibition all manner of useful and fancy ar-
ticles, and expect toinake the Fair a decided
success. Every evening there will be sing-
ing and dancing, and every effort made to
entertain their visitors. We are requested
to return thanks, in behalf of the Society, to
Geo. 0. Keeler for a present of a barrel. of
flour; to Mr. L. J. Curtis for a Parlor
Stove; to Messrs Meeker Bros, for coal; to
Mr. Morrison for half a dozen shirts, and to
others who have contributed articles for the
Fair.

Rev. Win. A. Curtis of Richmond, Me, is

Messrs. Mark Comstock and Lincoln Sco-
field contemplate going to Tennessee, to spend

Capt. Joseph Hanford is about, with his
arm in a sling, and as cheerful as ever. It
now appears that the Captain narrowly es-
caped a serious injury to his spine at the time
of his fall. As it is, his back has caused him
more suffering than his broken wrist.
Hon. Truman Smith, the old war-horse of
ancient Whiggcry,and ore of the first apostles
of modern Republicanism, paid us a visit on
Saturday. Although he has passed the three
score and ten limit of human life, the old
gentlman appears as robust and vivacious in
intellect as forty years ago.
Mr. Wm. H. England, of the New York
Sumand eldest son of its publisher, led to
the hymenial altar, on Thursday evening last,
Miss Emma R. Whitman, one of Nor-
walk’s most beautiful and accomplished
daughters. May the Sun of prosperity ever
shine upon their life's pathway.
The Union Mills prcpert in Norwalk, was
sold at auction Thursday, or $48,000, to Mr.
Hurlbutt, of the law firm of Hurlbutt & Rel-
yea.
The above item, copied from a Norwalk
paper, has been floating around in the State
journals for a week. It is time that it should
be brought up standing. “ The Union Mills
property” has not been sold, and probably
could not be bought for a million of dollars
to-day. The property auctioned off was that
of the Norwalk Mills Company, Winnipauk,
which is now going through bankruptcy. A
new company, however, will soon set the
wheels going again.
The Main Street nine having prudently rc-
tired from the field with their laurels, the
Wall Street nine, not willing to give up the
ship, tackled a nine from Winnipauk, last
Wednesday. The result was highly credita-
ble to both sides, the score being 15 lo 15.
Now let the three nines join together and
challenge the Independents.
A second game between these redoubtable
nines was played on the Fair Grounds, Satur-
day afternoon, and victory perched on the
banners of the suburban city—16 to 10. Now
another game must follow, and Wall street
must brace up, and bring intellect, muscle
and finance to the rescue or suffer inglorious
defeat. Winter is rapidly approaching and
Wall street must be redeemed immediately.
Winnipauk and Wall Street will probably
have another struggle to-day.

Under the Bed.
Last Saturday night, about 12 o’clock, Mr.
Frank Fairty was found under the bed in Mr.
Isaac Lee’s sleeping room. He was brought
up for examination yesterday and held for
trial‘in the sum bf $2,000 in default of which
he goes to jail. It is charged that he plann-
ed to rob Mr. Lee, and that he confided his
plans and agreed to divide the spoils with
James Charlton, who quietly informed Mr.
Lee of the danger. When found be pre-
tended to be sound asleep. Mr. Fairly was
formerly a respectable man of excellent natu-
ral abilities, but of late, years has become a
slave to drink.

Fire Department Parade.
The Annual Parade of our Fire Depart-

one, although not quite so large and impos-
ing as on some previous occasions. Compo

bring a band of music with them. Compo
always turns out a large and fine body of
men. Putnam Hose Co., South Norwalk,
are also to participate as guests of Hope Hose
00., they always make a good show, and this
year they have a new carriage to exhibit.
Hope Hose Co. also invited 01d Well H.& L‘

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.
The wedding of Mr. William H. England
of New York City, to Miss Emma R.,_ daugh-
ter of Ex-Councilman Edwin A. Whitman,
occurred on the evening of the 11th'inst., in
this city, and was an event that had been
looked forward to with a. great deal of inter-
est and pleasure for some time. The ceremo-
ny was performed by the Rev. C. M. Selleck,
of Norwalk. The assembly was for the most
part composed of tho faunly relatives of the
bride. The house was nicely arranged and
decorated, and the scene was a very animat-
ed and interesting one. Miss Whitman wore
a beautiful costume of navy blue, and made
a very graceful appearance. At the close of
the festivities, the happy bride and groom
departed direct for their home in 14th street,
New York, followed by the best wishes of a
large number of her friends, who met her at
the depot, at her departure.
Burglaries have been alarmingly on the in-
crease in this city, for two weeks or more.
Mr. A. J. Crofut‘s was the first and occurred
early on Sunday evening, while the Chief of
Police was at the church nearly opposite.
Mr. Hammersley’s house was visited on Tues-
day evening, whilc Messrs. Matthews’ and
Henry C. Ely’s were burglarizcd on Wednes-
day cvening, and from the latter about $1,000
worth of jewelry taken. Four suspicious men
were seen by the police around the depot
on Thursday morning between three and six
o’clock.
There will be no stop to such transactions,
if rowdies and suspicious men are left at will
to roam our city from 3 to 6 a. m., without
molestation by our police, especially when
they admit to a patrolman that they are stran-
gers, and have roamed around the city and
town since the arrival of the steamboat. The
lock-up is the only safe place for such ones,
until it can be shown who and what they
are.

Committee on sewers made a report which
was read, discussed and 'recommitted. Va-
rious resolutions were passed, ordering re-
pairs to the streets, and changes in the loca-
tion of Lamp posts. A committee was also
appointed to estimate upon the cost of, a new
City Hall.
Alden Solmon, Esq, contemplates adding

very enjoyable.
A Sabbath School Concert, appropriately
called an “Autumnal Concert,” was held in
the Congregational Church, Sunday evening.
under the direction of John H. Ferris,‘Esq.,
chairman of the committee of arrangements.
The church was beautifully dressed with
autumn leaves and flowers, the motto
“Autumn,” being prominent at the back of
the pulpit. After the opening prayer by the
Superintendent, the solo and quartette,
“Heaven our Home,” was sung by Mrs. St
John, Miss Annie Selleck, Mr. John Pennell,
and Dr. Cheeseman, followed by a recitation
from Hattie Wilcox. The secretary, Edward
Beard, Esq.,read a very interesting letter
is laboring in Northern Michigan, in which
he gave a graphic account of a night's lodg-
ing in a rich man’s barn, for which he paid
by 'watering the horses, milking the cows,aud
playing and singing with the children. Many
passages of Scripture were repeated by the
various classes, interspersed with recitations,
well rendered, by Miss Lizzie Pennellv and
Miss Maggie Norton. 0f itself the most in;
teresting recitation service, was by the Misses
Winnie Dickerman, Annie Sanford, Gracie
Millard, Winnie Nash and Blanch Whitman,
each recited a very appropriate verse—that
of Miss Whitman being directed to the pos-
tor,Rev. Mr. Dunning, and closed as follows:
“We want a little sermon,
Suited to our infant band.”, _
Notwithstanding the Pastor’s surprise he
preached a short practical sermon on “Wal-
nutting," well suited to the occasion. The
services closed with the singing of a double

looked and neglected.
Mr. Nathan C. Ely, of N. Y., having oc-
cupied his stone mansion on Moss Hill, for
the past summer, has concluded to remodel
and enlarge it by adding a story on top. One
of our contractors and builders has, at the
expense of Mr. Ely, drawn plans and specifi-
cations of the alterations, and is much cha-
grinned to find that said plans and specifica-
tions and estimates have, during his tempora-
ry absence, been examined and figured on by
some unauthorized person, probably for the
sake of underbidding. Mr. Ely wishes So.
Norwalk mechanics to do the work.
‘ Demands are made for vacant stores of
which there are nowonly two or three in the

The laying of the corner stone of the new

OHIO !
The Quakers didn't seem to vote much in
Ohio, and the democracy,aided by the new
labor party, the inflation party, the “hard
times” and most violent of the Communistic
element, have carried the state by an over-
whelming majority. The chief cause of re-
gret is in the loss of a United States Senator.
Intelligent Republicans are greatly disap-
pointed, but not so much at the result as the
degree of their defeat. The party managers
in that state may learn wisdom by the severe
lesson. If they do, it may be worth all it
has cost the Republican majority. It is
scarcely fair to charge the overwhelming de-
feat to a lack of confidence in President
Hayes. The issues of the election had no
direct reference to his Southern or Civil Ser-
vice policy, and such a combination of ele-
ments would have secured a similar result
under any other administration or circum-
stances.
The Atlantic telegraph, last week, brought
the sad intelligence of the sudden death,
near Liverpool, England, of William J.
Keyser, Esq., which event occurred on the
11th inst. He went to England partly for
pleasure, and partly on business. A letter
was received from him Friday. stating that
he was in excellent health with the exception
”of a slight cold, and that he expected to sail
for home on the 13th. His partner states
that he was taken with congestion of the
lungs, and died suddenly. " His remains will
be sent home on the Idaho, which leaves
Liverpool tomorrow. He was in the 55th
year of his age, and was 'born in Westport,
where his remains will 'be buried - For
many years he was engaged extensively in
the lumber business, near Pensacola, Florida.
During the war he probably lost nearly if not
quite all of the fortune which he had suc-
ceeded in accumulating, Since the war he
is said to have prospered well in business,
and} amassed considerable wealth. He has
been in the habit of spending his summers,
of late years, at his homestead Down Town,
His death will be deplored by all who knew
him. .
Gen. Miles is the boy who bothers the
Indians. He followed up Chief Joseph’s
braves sharply, and last week captured the
entire party,——the surrender being nncondi-'
tional. _ _ .. _
The following details are given :—ln the
charge upon the Indian camp on the first day
of the fi ht sixty officers and men were
killed an wounded. After the camp had
been surrounded and the soldiers had secured
defensive positions only four casualties oc-
curred. lAs {hebsoldiersl closed inhupon the
savages s ow ut sure y it What e urpose
of General Miles to lose do more mcnpin' the
attack. On the last day of the fight the
troops succeeded in securing a ' ition com-
manding the stream that flow in front of
the rifle pits occupied by the enemy, and had
the battielasted another day their su ply of
water would have been exhausted and) a sur-
render would have become imperative.
On the fourth day of the fight Joseph
raised the white flag for the third time and
through an. interpreter who advanced towards
the camp, offered to surrender provided his
band Were allowed to keep their guns. Gen-
eral Miles sent word back that Joseph must
surrender without any reserve, and the battle
went on. The 'white flag was again display-
ed on the fifth day when Jose h appeared in
front of his line and advan to meet Gen-
eral Miles to whom he tendered his arms.
He was followed by sixty warriOrs who also
turned over their arms and shook hands with
General Miles is they passed.
When the, troops entered the rifle pits
forty warriors disabled by wounds were dis-
covered. They were removed to the camp
hospital and received the same attention that
was given to the wounded troops. The
number of Indians killed is unknown as they
had already buried their dead.
General Miles left yesterday for Tongue
River, taking his dead and wounded and the
surrendered baud. General Sturgis did— not
arrive in time totake rt in the fight, and
the glory of the in Ificent attack and result
rests with General iles. General Howard,
with an escort of seventeen men, arrived on
the morning of the surrender. His appear-
ance was understood, and he made no attempt
to assume command. He had left his small
force of infantry at Missouri River, and with
this small escort of cavalry proceeded to the
scene of battle. , ,
The intrenchments occupied by the Indians
were admirably constructed for defense.
They occupied in all over 160 rifie pits, which
communicated with each other, so that assist-
ance could be rendered if necessary. The
squaws fought by the side of the warriors,
took care of the wounded and buried the
dead. When the history of the unparallel-
ed cam ign of the ' Nez Pcrces is written,
they wrllbe credited with wonderful valor
and great humanity. "Their defense could
not be excelled by any body of men. Of
their generOsity seven ' wounded soldiers
lying under the intrenchments live to bear
testimony. They took away the guns and
ammunition from the disabled troops, but did
not offer to molest them.

, A. CARD.
A pleasing diversion has come in to relieve
the custom tailoring business and the dispo-
sal of my well selected stock of ready made
clothiiizg. .
On rida evening last some gentlemen of-
the Paul Hry persuasion, accused me of
keeping in my house a su ply of various in- ,
quors,and of using '
toxicating and splriutous
the same. It is true that under the advice of
my physician I use the Seltzer water which
friend Grumman, on Main street, delivers in
one of his lager beer wagons. I find it does
me good, an “Little Brown J ugs” are also
left occasionally, but they are filled with mo-
lasses. If my friends desire me to furnish
them with my daily bill of fare I will furnish
it to such as make a personal application for
it; if the critics supposed I had erred, would
it not have been more honorable to have come
to me talk the matter over and learn the facts ?
Was there any occasion to make a public
charge on unascertained facts ? I do admit
that I have kept in my house, cider, beer,
wine, etc., but when I realized their effects
and influences, and evil resulting from their
use, I signed the temperance pledge on the
31st day of March, 1876, and since that time
I challenge any one to prove that any intoxi-
eating beverage has been left at my residence
or that I have used such in any form what-
ever. There is hardly any organization in ex-
istence where enemies do not creep in to
thwart the good efforts of those who are en-
gaged in the uplifting of the degraded to a
higher type of manhood. But such will not
drive me from a cause in which I feel it my
duty to labor, and not to secure business pa-
tronage, nor from any but worthy motives,
but I must sa I would rather associate with
a true-heartc man, even if he drinks, than
with those who profess more and belie their
professions. ' ' J. L. HARLEM.

Mnssn. . EDITORS:—
During the past week I have visit-
ed the section of Michigan where the
Parallel Placed 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 cut off in eighteen inch lengths,
they are then peeled not only of the ,
bark, but also of a ring of 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 lengtbways and from
circumference to center, the feed al-
ternating with every Shingle, so that
the saw runs straight with the grain
of the wood. From the sawcr 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-
cr, 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, and
branded “Oscar Fciiii. VVarranted
Parallel.”
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, onc‘quarter to the
durability of tlic shingle. Not the
least advantage is the uniformity of
thickness obtained.
After watching the whole opera-
tion Mr. Fenn made this rcmar ' :—
“Mr. Hill, I aim at making a perfect-
sliingle. Possible an imperfect one
may be packed in the Planed Shingle,
but I do not see howit can. At any
rate, you can warrantthem free from
sap, slia e, knot or taper, or any oth-
er imperfection whatever, and you
can tell your customers to count out
and return to you any shingles not
coming up to this standard, and I
will pay for them.”
Such a shingle as this I am selling
at a less price than the common
sawed shingle was sold for twenty
arm. I know of no other
years a
maker who manufactures a double
saw-jointed Pinned Shingle.
