sis-n ,. s w Norwalk Gazette. Tuesday, November 20th, 187 '7. fl EDITORIAL LETTER. WASHINGTON, November 17, 1877. Dana Gaznrrn :— Congress has finally settled down to the work for which the President convened it in extra session. The Army Bill got through the House with diverse tinkerings to suit the whim of that august assemblage. The two special features were a reduction of its maximum force to 20,000 men, and a provi- sion that four thousand men should guard the Texas border from Mexican invasion across the Rio Grande. When the Bill came to the Senate, the committee on appropria- tions speedily reported it back with these provisions stricken out and the measure then passed the Senate providing for an aggregate of twenty-five thousand men, and leaving their stationing to the discretion of the War Department. . . The Army Bill has not, however, engrossed anything like the interest. that the Silver Bill and Resumption Act have done. In the House these astute financial problems have been discussed by those who knew little or nothing about them, with a profundity that has at least served to give employment to otherwise idle printers at the Government printing office. Our Representative, Mr. Warner, with a prudent foresight which may some day serve a useful purpose, voted both sides on the financial issue, so that he at least is certain of having been entirely right on that question, at least one-half of the time. This is more than can be said of some others who make louder pretensions of exhaustive knowledge on the money question. It is a grave pit _v that Congress could not leave the money question severely alone and leave it for the inevitable and inexorable laws of trade to regulate our monetary interests and the whole question of specie resumption. It is too had, after having passed through the Red sea'of financial fluctuations and disas- ters, and now, while just stepping upon the solid shores of resumption, to be driven back again upon the wild waves of inflation, by the senseless tinkerings of Congress. As Mr. Warner’s last. vote was given with the soft money men and inflationists, it is fair to con- clude that his final and maturer judgment leads him to that side of the question. It may prove an inconvenient matter for him to jus- tify his action with those of his constituents interested in invested property, in business prosperity, in stocks, bonds and savings banks’ securities, to say nothing of the Jack- sonian “hard money” element still existing in his own greatly deteriorated party. It is not believed that any inflation acts can get through the Senate at this session, though a majority is claimed there for the “dollar of our dads.” Our own judgment is that should the Silver Bill pass the Senate at all it will be so modified in the provision of coinage of silver dollars, that they shall be made to contain a full gold dollar’s worth of metal, and not to be issued with only ninety odd cents of marketable silver to the dollar, as the House Bill provides. Any other en- actment would be a disgraceful piece of leg- islation. Senator Eaton, of our State, has elaborated a Bill creating a commission to be selected by the governors of the several states, for the purpose of deciding all questions arising or possible to arise under the present modes of electing a President and Vice President. The suggestion possesses the merit of origi- nality and novelty, but such a commission, if ever created, will be one meeting and act- ing here, as the questions involved are Na- tional questions and not of State jurisdiction. Senator Wadleigh has been unanimously selected as the successor of the late Senator Morton as chairman of the committee on Privileges and Elections. This is the first and leading committee of the Senate and no man could have been found in that body more capable or deserving of the high honor. New Hampshire is justified in its apprecia- tion of so signal an advancement of her tal- ented son, for never since the days when Daniel Webster represented that State in the House, and John P. Hale honored her in the Senate, has she had here a man of sounder judgment, superior attainments, or purer per- sonal character. Of all the men in the Sen- ate Mr. Wadleigh seemed the only one to whom all eyes turned instinctively as the fit- test successor of the great Indiana statesman. His place as chairman of the Senate Com- mittee on Patents, where he succeeded our own Mr. Ferry, is taken by Senator Booth of California, but Mr. Wadleigh will still con- tinue as second on that committee, as we are glad to state, to the delight of inventors and patent attorneys, whose causes are to come befbre this committee for consideration. Sen- ator Booth is a clear and discriminating law- yer and without exception the most eloquent off-hand speaker on the floor of the Senate. The past week an extended hearing has been had before the Patent Committee of a pro- posed new patent law, embracing many im- portant and radical changes of the old enact- ments. Chauncey Smith of Boston, H. J. Raymond of Chicago, and W. C. Dodge of Washington, with other eminent patent attor- neys and inventors have been heard in elabo- rate arguments in favor of the proposed new bill. The generally conceded, need of a thorough revision of the existing laws seems to leave little doubt that some new and im- portant legislation will grow out of the pres- . ent efforts in that direction. Senator Conkling has, by direction of the Committee on Commerce, addressed a letter to Secretary Sherman, asking to be informed why the New York Custom House officials were removed, and also to inform the com- mittee what charges were preferred against them. The letter added that, if the Sec- retary had no charges, the committee had ample proof that they had performed their official duties faithfully and efficiently. This has been construed into an act of hostility on the part of the New York Senator, but it is nevertheless frequently done in other similar cases. _ The telephone is being rapidly introduced here. One runs from the White House to the Departments, and another from the Capitol to the [Public Printing Office, and all work satisfactorily. Senator Daniel Vorhees appeared and took his seat as temporary successor to Oliver P. Morton, deceased. The “tall sycamore of the Wabash,” as he is denominated by his ad- mirers, has not yet orated in the Senate, but when he does the great American Eagle will flap its wings and soar aloft to the dizzicst heights of western eloquence. Rev. Dr. Leonard W. Bacon is in town and attended a meeting of , the Congregation- al pastors of Washington and vicinity, on Thursday evening. Rev. E. W. Andrews, formerly of the Broadway, N. Y., Taber- nacle,is here. It will be remembered he was hopefully reeonverted at the Hammond and Bentley revival here, last winter. The circular sent by the Secretary of State to the American consuls in various parts of the world, requiring them to report to him concerning the market for the products of this country at their respective stations, and to suggest such other articles of American manufacture as they think might readily and profitably be introduced, continue to meet with responses that are full of interesting and valuable information. This enlargement of the duties of our consuls cannot fail to sug- gest new avenues of trade to be developed by the enterprise of ourmerchants and manufac turers, and will, without doubt, largely in- crease onr foreign commercial relations. The House has considered the question of ndjourning on the 22d, but it is not believed that the extra session will terminate before the'national anniversary day of roast turkey. Many would like an adjournment next week as a decent pretext for extra mileage, but as so many more members are settled here for the winter, it is thought the session will be continued up to near the end of the month. George W. Clark has been appointed post- ‘ master at Darien, to take effect January lst, 1878, vice Waterbury, resigned. In some as yet unaccountable manner, rumors got into circulation about Darien, that Waterbury had been guilty of improper conduct and that his resignation was made necessary in conse- quence. Nothing of the kind has ever been known or surmised at the Post Office Depart— ment here, and no one has more resolutely defended Mr. Waterbury from such false al- legations than his successor, Clark, who has for a very long time been the real and acting postmaster. Mr. W. cheerfully relinquished the position to Mr. Clark, and it is due to him that he should have full credit for his grace- ful retirement from an office he could not personally superintend. As ever, B. fl Orris S. Ferry. We publish on today’s outside a tribute to our deceased fellow-townsman, Senator Ferry, written by his long-time intimate friend and business associate Asa B. Woon- WARD. The article was originally prepared for another purpose, but at our solicitation Mr. Woodward has allowed us to copy it. Nothing that has been said or written gives so clear and definite an outline of Mr. Ferry’s character or so perfectly photographs the man. As it is again the anniversary period of his death, we feel that there is a fitting propriety in giving it place, even so remotely from the date of his decease. The tribute of affectionate remembrance and profound re- gard, will be read far and near, with absorb- ing interest, for in conspicuous statesman- ship, in captivating and convincing oratory, the later life of Mr. Ferry became the recog- nized and highly appreciated property of the nation he so ably and so faithfully served. ——_ No man can vote at the, coming Borough election whose name is not found on the ofii- cial check list. No name can be added on that day. The Registrars will be careful and do their best to properly register all who may be found entitled, but they may overlook some who have a right to vote. Examine the list and if you notice any omissions report the fact to the Registrars or Borough Clerk. fl A New Director. Mr. Charles E. St. John has been elected a Director in the Fairfield County National Bank vice Wm. R. Lockwood resigned. # N of Murdered. Letters have recently been received by friends from Mr. Andrew Ogden’s family now residing in Santa Rosa Co., California, say. ing that they are all alive and well, notwith- standing the reports of their murder by China- men. The report grew out of the fact that county, were murdered. The friends here feel much relieved at having had news di- rect from them of their welfare. The Burnside Guards have taken a new lease of Military Hall, and are engaged in fit- ting up the same in good style. . The ceilings have been hansomely frescoed, and the en- company will be freshened up and greatly improved. When the work is completed, the Hall will be re-opened with a grand Con- cert by the Fourth Regiment :Band. The Company is in a flourishing condition, in fact in better shape, it is claimed, than ever be- fore. Col. Fairchild is constantly pushing up the companies to greater efforts, and has recently arranged for a serious of battalion drills, the Norwalk, Stamford and Greenwich companies combining for that purpose, and the Bridgeport and Stratford companies. " The Russians have taken Kars for Con- stantinople,” is the way a gentleman facetious- ly reported yesterday morning. Leaving the Turkish Van in their rear they may succeed in drinking from the Golden Horn eventually if not switched off while stopping on the way to take their fill of Erze-rum. # Terrible Affair in Bethel. Mrs. Thomas Doran attempted to start a fire by the use of rock oil in Bethel Sunday, and was terribly burned, together with her two little children. The younger of these has since died, and the mother and other child are not expected to recover. Judge Sporord, of New Haven, discharged Charles Mann, arrested for selling liquor on election day, on the ground that, as the liquor was sold by an agent, the proprietor, Mann, was not responsible. The circumstance is recalled that some months ago Judge Peck discharged 0. man for selling on Sunday be- cause he was an agent and not thizproprietor. — mohange. 135‘ Then the law is a mere farce. The people are getting sick of this sort of thing, and it is about time for a change. If no law can be framed to bear on criminals, it is time to give up the pretense of punishing crime. If a man is poor and unfortunate and is drawn into the meshes of the law, he is snap- ped up and fleeced withoutmercy, but if he has pluck and money he laughs at blind jus- tice and goes scot free. # In Meriden, the doctoring of the town poor is again attracting attention. In 1874, medicine and medical attendance cost only $203.9? ,which was probably not a reasonable price and the result of some strong competi- tion. In 1875 it increased to $845.04, which, undoubtedly, was what it was really worth. In 1876 the figures were $1,686.17. In 1877, the amount foots up $3,130.89. The place must be growing very unhealthy. The Americus. The steamer Americas will continue her regular daily trips to New York until Satur- day Dec. lst, on which dayr she will go down but will not return. As a matter of course, however, her trips will depend upon the weather, and will not be made during severe storms. It is seldom the boat runs so late in the season, but in so doing many people will be accommodated._ w This week we publish the prospectus of Harper’s Weekly, Which is universally known as one of the best journals in exis- tence.

To-day the Registrars will post a list of public examination. If any omissions are noted, or if names are on which should not be, report the fact to the Registrars or Clerk Footc. No man can vote who is not proper- ly registered. Annual Report. We publish in another column the annual report of our Borough authorities. It is not as much in detail as in previous years, but will probably be explicit enough to satisfy all reasonable persons. Examine it and draw your own inferences. STRANGE Flsn.—Last Tuesday, after quite a hard struggle, George Whitney captured on Cockenoes bar afish seldom seen in this vi- cinity. It answered the description given by Iohthyologists of the Goose Fish, or Angler, also known as the Fishing Frog. It was four or five feet long, nearly as broad, flat, had one flap on each side something like a seal with an opening or pocket behind run- ning forward under the mouth, and ,with two small legs with five toes webbed together. The strangest feature, however, was its im- mense mortar-shaped month. When open it was frightful to contemplate, and would just about comfortably take in an ordinary keg. It was on exhibitionfor several days. It is a worthless fish, and lives on muddy bot- toms. ' 4...... Colonel George S. Bangs, the “father of the fast mail,” as he has been aptly termed, died at Wgsllington at a late hour on Friday night. another family of Ogdens, in an adjoining, tire Hall and other rooms occupied by the F" voters of the Borough in the Post Ofllce for- N orwalk Disgraced. The most disgraceful and shameful affair that ever occurred here in Norwalk was the outrageous proceeding on Wednesday even- ing last, at Lockwood’s Hall, by the Ram- sellers, headed by, it is generally believed, a paid attorney, whereby a meeting of citizens called to consult upon the advisability of enforcing the recent vote of the town of No License, and the manner of .so doing, was tumultuously broken up and the respectable people present grossly insulted by the rowdy crew. It was enough to make the blood boil in any staid, quiet, easy-going law and order man to see free speech and free expres- sion so overidden by such a set. The meeting was convened in response to a call issued last week, and the Hall was densely crowded at the opening hour. Rev. Mr. S. B. S. Bissell was chosen Chairman and a Committee, consisting of Messrs. Allen Betts, Dr. James G. Barbour, and Dr. G. S. Comstock appointed to draft resolutions. In response to calls, speeches were made by Rev. Messrs Williams and Hamilton while the committee were in consultation. The Committee then' banding in their report it was read by the Chairman and accepted and the question arising upon its'adoption, Mr. H. H. Barbour, the latest acquisition to our legal fraternity, took the stand and after a tions which he had prepared beforehand of a negative character, which he tried to intro- duce. During all his long tirade there had not been an interruption or a word of objec- tion, but offering his resolutions the Chair- man decided was not in order as other busi- ness was properly before the meeting. Mr. Barbour took exception to this and immedia- tely, (backed up , by. Jerry Donovan—who has made himself notorious by openly selling, while the question of a License is yet pending in the courts—and a crowd of roughs,) com- menced fiilibustering by making", dilatory motions, &.c., with the evident intention of tiring out and compelling the large majority present to yield to his party. A vote was finally taken upon his resolutions and they were apparently voted down two to one. The chairman announced the vote as in the negative, but Barbour and his adherents, although the result was palpable to everyone in the room, “doubted” the vote. It was again tried and with like result and the rab_ ble demanded a vote by dividing the house, booting and yelling and insulting every one who attempted to say a word against the course they were pursuing. In spite of the disorder, however, the conceited pettifogger was sharply rebuked and denounced in strong terms by several speakers, and long before the meeting ended was probably, aware that he had committed a serious blunder. The disorder was kept up for a long time, until finally the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned, when with yells of delight they rushed out of the Hall. Thus ended what should have been a peaceful, quiet and order- ly meeting. This is the first time in our town's history, we think, where, (if the general opinion is correct) a lawyer ever apparently de- meaned himself as to, for hire, attempt to nullify or break up a public meeting of citizens called to discuss any social or even political question, and yet it was generally thought that in this case, he had so lent him- self. Another Meeting. A call has been issued for another meeting, Wednesday evening, at Lockwood’s Hall, of those in favor of enforcing the license law. We look for a quiet, peaceful meeting. The Effect of the Meeting. While the meeting was a public disgrace, the effect was good.- While selling under license the liquor dealers of the town have generally been careful to preserve order in their saloons, and have committed no flagrant acts to incense the community. Their action They stirred up a strong public sentiment against them, which would otherwise have remained, dormant. Even men who voted who3 had long --beeu: indifferent joined-the ranks of the No License party._ Arrest of Donovan. The first effect of this indignation was a, visit to Donovan’s saloon at South Norwalk, the next day, the purchase of liquor, and, the brought before J ustice’Stuart Friday, but as the prosecuting attorney was absent the case was adjourned until Saturday afternoon, when his counsel put in a pleafor more time, which Justice Stuart evidently reluctantly granted. The case comes-up again Wednes- day, Denovan pledging himself to shut up his saloon until after the examination. He is evidently the cat’s paw of the other dea- lers who stand back and will divide the chestnuts if he succeeds. ‘He spends his money freely, and ~has some pluck, but be but an empty victory for him, for if he. sells all will sell and without the payment of, a license and costs which he will incur. 1 No Decision Yet. Judge lfovey was expected to give a deci- sion in Donovan’sesse Monday. morning, .hut did not do ‘80.? ‘l' " If. ’ j ‘ '. The “law" says that the people of Nor- walk can decide for themselves whether they will have license or no license. They have voted no license. Can the “law" now stop in and force license uppn them? If so, great is law and Donovan is its profit. ‘ Church Wedding's. ’ For somcfreason weddings in our churches have been of rare occurrence the past few years. When they do occur, therefore. they attract large audiences. Such was the case last Wednesday evening. at the First Cou- gregational church, when Mr. Frederick C. Bennett and Miss Mary E. Barbour were publicly joined in the holy bonds of Wed- lock. _ A profusion of lovely flowers graced the space in front of the pulpit; gentlemanly ushers escorted invited guests to reserved seats, while Mr. Gibson entertained all with this following choice selections on the organ. ‘7 Oifé‘rtoirein'F, op. 10.. ..... ...Batiste.

After the ceremony, the guests were driven to the residence of the brides’ father, Main Street, where a bountiful and elegant colla- tion was served by D’Artois, the caterer. The reception passed off very pleasantly, and the happy couple started for Washington accompanied by the best wishes and warm congratulations of their numerous friends. long speech against time, produced resolu-' at this meeting—wean blunder, which facg- , we think they have already recognized.‘ 'York he don’t seem to he wanted there. for license were made indignant, and many; speedy arrest of the proprietor.

Whitfillla back the pastlikc the rich pumpkin pie ?” ., . , - Asis the case wit ,ievery'th'ing they under- take, our Methodist friends were very suc- cessful with _ their novel entertainment—a Pumpkin Festival, held at Lockwood's Hall, lasthuesday evening. Out-side, Jack-o-Lau- terns grinned welcome from the windows. Inside, more of the artistically executed illuminated pumpkins shed light from the balcony railings, festoons of seeds hung in suspension, big and little squashes and pump- kins were massed on the stage, while the acme of pumpkin perfection and sweetness was served from the tables in the form of the ever-glorious pumpkin pie. ., The supply was enormous ' ’but Yankee capacity never gives out as long as pumpkin pie remains, and the result was that the pies were “pretty thin” before the people retired satisfied. The' miscellaneous exercises of the evening were of a pleasing nature including some good singing by the members of the Society, reci- tations, music on the lephone by Prof. Crispini which delighted all, a speech from a - “country pumpkin,” a visit from a tall pump- kin, &c. Quite a snug sum must have been realized from the entertainment. 'KARS CARRIED BY STORM Loxnou Nov. 1877. An official Russian dispatch, dated Veran- Kaleh [near Kara] Sunday, November 18, says: ' “The Russians Qcarried Kars to-day by storm. The battle preceding the capture commenced at 9 o’clock last night, and term- inated at 8 this morning. Our trophies and losses are at present unknown. —-———-.—o.r—.——- _ The hostile investigations into life insurance and the collapse of so many unsound insur- ance companies are directly, favorable to sound and strong companies. The managers of these must often have been annoyed at the conduct of competitors who have striven to get business from them by underbidding, of- ering insurance for less than its cost, and making reckless investments of the proceeds of this course. ‘_The managers of the great companies who have managed them with great caution and conservatism, refusing to tempt customers by offering bargains which could not surely be carried out, and to make “promising" and precarious investments, have now their reward. We print today the result of the official examination of the New York Life. It is evident that a severer test could not be applied to an insurance compa- ny than the careful appraisal of all its assets at their present market value. This test ap- plied to the New York Life shows a surplus of about $6,000,000, or nearly one-fifth of the whole “admitted assets" of the company; which seems remarkable in view of the great depreciation since many of the company’s investments were'made.“ The table of stocks and bonds is particularly interesting and cred- itable. A total'advance of 10'per cent. over cost price in any list of permanent invest- ments at this time is an evidence of unusual foresight and ‘sagacity.-‘—N. Y. World.

The Committee on public library met at the Council room on Saturday evening, when a report was made, and further action taken on the undertaking. The prospect is favorable. Mr. & Mrs. Wm. S.

There is no doubt that Justice Bou- ton and J. Donovan will have supportjin the the caucus. After Saturday night’s supper it was thought that at least four of the pres- ent board of Councilmen might receive the nomination, and perhaps the six. Improvements are being made in the walks on Franklin street by property owners, not- withstanding the backwardness of the grad- ing of the street, which the City is to do.

Mr. Dunning read before his Congre- gation, on Sunday Evening, at very- able and suggestive address, on the subject of “Lay preaching” it being'the same which he read before the Conference in Hartford.

Major ,Doty said at the social of Chief. Kinney. He was first at a fire, the- last to retire, and first in the affections of the Ladies. Rev.

Old Well Hook & Ladder Co.with their in- vited guests, sat down to a most sumptious supper,sp‘read in their parlor,Saturday night. One table was occupied with the Mayor and councilmen,Chief Engineer Kinney and guests the other by members of the Co. and a dele- gation from Putnam Hose Co. Both-tables were loaded with all the geese and good things prepared by those famous caterers, F. M. Knapp, Benger, Downs do Go. The Chief Engineer called the assembly to order, and welcomed the guests to the fireman’s home and hospitality, and hoped every one would help themselves. After ablcssing was asked by Mayor Ely, every one accepted Kinney's suggestion, and for an hour there was a lively play at the “geese” &c., with knife and fork. After supper‘Mayor Ely was called upon for a speech which he made in his usual felicitious way,thanking “Old Well’ for their hospitality, regretting, however that the loves of the fire laddies were not present to enjoy the feast with them. Col. Cunnig- ham followed with a few words of cheer. and wished "he were a boy again” as he might be tempted to run with the machine. Council- man Craw was called upon and said he was highly gratified with the “Collation” and also with the condition and efficiency of the fire department, especially of the Old Well Hook db Ladder Co. and he should use his best en- deavors to sustain them. . Councilman J. H. . Knapp wishingto go home, asked to be ex- cused, and councilmen Hallock do Selleck'as citizens and city officers spoke of the pleasure of being present,and commended highly the members of the South Norwalk fire depart- ment. Mr. Tower of the Fair field Insurance Co. followed in a brief address when John Smith was called upon, but being to full for utterance, did not respond. At this juncture the invited guest from Grassy Plain Engine Co. was compelled to leave; three cheers were given for the Co. and thanks returned. Dr. Pardee was the next speaker,and likened the firemen to the soldier who stand and bat tie with the enemy, the one for the protection of law and liberty, the other for saving of life and property. Mr. Golden junior of the Sentinel returned thanks for the honor of an invitation to be present, and he was followed by Mr. Swartz, who referred to the move- ment toward building a “ City Hall" and the removal of the Fire Co to it. He was opposed to it as he and the Fire Co. had lived as near neighbors amicably, for a long while. Ex. Councilman Doty the chairman of the com- mittee,(Messrs. Doty, C. W. Hoyt and H. R. Fitch) on organization of the fire department responded to the call and fully explained why the present quarters were selected, and why so large a rental was paid for it. At the close of his remarks, he was greeted with great applause, and assistant foreman Smith passed around to “all hands” a box of those delicious Segars branded “Old Well,” which had been presented by Major Doty. Chief Kinney said he was happy to know that the department was in so good standing in the Community, and was happy to meet all his friends, and the representatives of the City government at this social gathering, that the department had been well sustained by the City and the community, and should ever strive to merit public confidence and support. Then closed one of the pleasantest and most successful entertainments ever given in South Norwalk. _-—__--____.-—-— The Betllei Press published an item about the insecurity of the bell tower of the Con gregational church, and general alarm was caused, interfering seriously with the attend- ,ance on services, Finally two New York experts were sent for, and they pronounced the structure perefectly safe. . ..

Enrronsz—In the month of June Iinscrted an advertisement in some of. the Norwalk papers calling atttention to a new article in the line of Shingles. I afterwards advertised that I would guarantee the Oscar Fenn Planed Parallel Shingles free from any imperfection whatever. I did this after visit- ing the Mill in Michigan and personally ex- amining the mode of manufacture. In selling them, I have in all cases, agreed to take back and pay for every shingle that did not come up to this standard. I have received 0’08’)‘ four hundred thousand of them since that time, have been unable for portions of the time to fill my orders, and have yet to rrceloe the first shingle back for any mum whatever or to find any customer dissatisfied with them. These shingles are all shipped by rail, and owing to the recent advances in Railroad freights must hereafter be sold at the same advance in price as I pay advance in freight. But while in Michigan I bought a large lot of triple X sawed shingle not planed, shipped them by water, and although justly entitled to the advance, I propose right in the face of it, to offer them for a limited time at the lowest price that sawed shingle have reached in November in twenty-three years. As evi- dence of that fact I quote price for sawed shingle in November, beginning 1854. November 1854 per thousand, $5 50 l l “ 1855 ‘ 5 25 5; 1856 7“ u 5 50 it 1857 u u 5 00 n 1858 u u 4 50 at 1859 U u 4 50 a 1860 u u 4 50 u 186]. u u 4 75 H 1862 u- u 4 50 c, 1863 u u 6 00 c; 1864 u u 9 00 n 1865 o. u 9 00 n 1866 u u 9 00 n 1867 u u 8 50 to 1868 u u 8 50 is 1869 u u S 00 “ 1870 “ “ 7 50 H 1871 u u 7 50 “ 1872 “ “ 7 50 H 1873 (6 u 7 75 “ 1874 “ “ 6 50 n 1875 u u 6 00 it 1876 u u 5 00 I offer these shingles at $4 50 during :the remainder of this month. They are manu- factured by John McGrnw &; Co. of Bay City in what is said to be the largest and most complete mill in the world, and are equal in quality to any Michigan shingle made. As evidence of the standing of the above firm in the trade, I quote from the New York Tri- bune of October 28th, 1877. The mill of.John McGraw 85 Co., is at the 4 upper end of Bay City. The firm own 600 acres of land, and a third of their property is occupied by the saw-mill, .the salt (works, drying kilns, and other buildings and storage places. The saw-mill has a greater capacity than any other in this section, and is believed to be the iargest in the world. It is rated at 40,000,000 feet of lumber for the season, but, if needed, could be worked up to double that capacity. Over 350 men are employed, and during the past six weeks over 200,000 feet of lumber have been out every day. One day when the mill was tested to its utmost capac- ity, 180,000 feet were cut in three hours, or at the rate of 675,000 for the day of 11:} working hours. Indeed, 335,000 feet were cut one day, not long ago, when the mill was not driven hard. Last season over 31,000,- 000 feet were sown by day, and about 6,000,- 000 by night. The drying-kilns have a capacity of 500,000 feet of lumber. Here, also, steam from the saw—mills, which would otherwise be wasted, is used for drying the lumber in the kilns. The salt works have a capacity of about 50,000 barrels for the season. I also offer shingles made by the same firm and branded “Clear” which have six inch clear butts and some knots in the tips, at the very low price of $3 50 per M. In addition to the above, I offer the entire cut, for the season of the old original S. K. & Co. Rived Shingle at a very low figure, considering the quality. I would respect- fully solicit an examination of the largest and best assorted stock of dry lumber under cover in this part of the State. Sash, doors, blinds and moldings, sold as low as the lowest and quality guaranteed. E. J. HILL, 'Noawa us, CONN. ”adolescents. \n MAAAA OPERA HOUSE, NO I - - “WALK a IVILLIAM HENDERSON, ......
