Data GAznrrr. :—
Tlie “irrepresfibles” in the House have fl.
fully pulled awayfrOm the restraints of their
would-be party leaders, and Potter of New
York, was put forth as, the leader to force
through a resolutiou to investigate the title
of President Hayes. The Republicans offer-
ed to support Potter’s'resolution provided he
would make it general, in the spirit of fair
play. This he, backed by the democrats,
refused. He also refused to allow his resolu-
tion to be referred to a committee according
to usage, or to allow any debate thereon.
Having been coerced to bring his resolution
into the House by outside pressure, this was
his only safety, and he held his party—backers
up to the front with the aid of Speaker Ran.
dell, who ruled, regardless of law, precedent
or decency, just as the exigencies of tie
party demanded. Much dissatisfaction was
manifest among the more sensible democrats,
but by dint of constant caucusing and Whip-
ping in, most of them were induced to adhere
to the Potter movement. The Republicans
finding no show and a purpose to gag down
the Potter resolution in this extraordinary
way, resisted as long ‘as they could prevent a
quorum by not voting. At last a call of the
House was carried late last evening, and by
locking the doors and forcing in abscntees
the democracy passed their resolve by one
vote, after one of the most excited struggles
of the whole session, and the loss of a whole
week that ought to have been used in legiti-
mate legislation for the restoring of confi-
dence and business industries in the country.
The feeling among the democratic senators
is that their party has made a serious error in
forcing this resolution through in a manner
that upon its face is unfair and one- ed.
It is easy to see that the week thus wasted in
the House for the small purpose of obtaining
a little mud to throw in the coming congres-
sional elections, has resulted in dividing the
democrats and uniting and solidifying the
Republicans as they have not been since the
inauguration of Mr. Hayes. The democratic
pretense is that they have secret evidence of
fraud so clearly implicating Secretary Sher-
man and Minister Noyes, that their impeach-
ment will be a matter of time only. That
they do not expect to unseat Mr. Hayes, for
his title is made secure by the judgment of a
court from which there is no appeal. But
they hope to so taint him with a participation
in and knowledge of the fraud, they say, as
to place him before the nation as a usurper.
Secretary Sherman assures us that he, person-
ally, desires that the investigation should go
on, inasmuch as a special personal assault 18
made against him. The information from
the White House is to the efiect that Mr.
Hayes is more than willing that every fact
connecting him 'or his trusted friends with
the late election in the South should bavethe
fullest investigation. '
There can be no doubt that if the Republi-
cans will only act wilh prudence and wisdom
this tyrannical action of the dominant party
in the House will be made to greatly to con-
duce to our success in the next congressional
election. The great mass of the people want
peace and quiet and a restoration of confi.‘
dcnce and business prosperity. One of two
things is entirely 'cerhiin. The democrats
have sown the wind to reap the whirlwind
of a new political revolution, or else they
will stand committed of a most idle and
wicked attempt to still further distract the
country for the sheerest partisan ends.
What the Republicans of the House in-
tend to do remains a matter of speculation.
They have thus far kept their own counsel
and will continue to do so, carefully conceal-
ing from the revolutionists all their plans.
The Congressional Campaign Committee has
prepared an address to the voters of the
United States, which is all they are willing
to give to the public at present.
The Republican Address.
To 'riir: Vornns or rm: UNiriiD STATES.
The Democratic House of Representatives
has this day, by a party vote, adopted a reso.
lution which, under the pretense of an inves-
tigation, is to lay the foundation of a revo-
lutionary expulsion of the PreSident from his
office. This is the culmiation of a plot
which has been set on foot from the day that
Hayes and Wheeler were constitutionally dc-
clarcd elected. It made its first public ap-
perance in; the resolution of the last Demo.
cratic House adopted at the close of the ses-
sion, declaring that Tilden and Hendricks
were elected. Tilden and Hendricks subse-
quently made similar public declarations
themselves. '
A few timid members have long held back,
and some of them, after being coaxed to the.
final vote, still pretend that they will halt as
soon as their partial and-oneside investiga-
tion shall be ended. In other words, they .in-
tend, after hearing suborned evidencc,to bring
in a verdict that Hayes is an usurpur, and that
he shall not remain in office. These men have
no control in the Democratic party; they
dared not even follow Alexander‘H. Steph-
ens in a revolt against caucus dictation to the
extent of showing some semblance of fair
play. They will be impotent in the future
as they have been in the past. Moreover, .It
is difficult to believe in their .sincerity, in
view of the public avowal of their party that
its purpose is postively to displace the Presi-
dent.
It is a matter of history that the resolution
just adopted was framed to express this ob.
ject. The Speaker of the House was con-
sulted in advance as to whethenhe would
rule that it was a privileged question.‘ The
party managers were anxious to conceal their
purposes, if possible. In this way they were
defeated by the Speaker, who would not rule
ita question of privilege unless it assailed the
title of the President. The resolution _being
offered, he read a carefully-prepared opinion,
deciding it to be a question of highest riv1-
lege, because it lneoleed the question of 0 ca-
lidity of Hayea' titlo' These are the very
words: , _
“A higher privilege Iran the one here in-
volved, and broadly and direct] presented
as to the rightful occupancy of t e chief ex-
ecutive chair of ,the Government_ and the
connection of high Government officials with
the frauds alleged, the Chair is unable to con-
ceive. The Chair finds enumerated'among
the questions of privilege set down in the
Manual the following: ‘Election of the Pres-
ident.’ The Chair therefor rules that. the
preamble and resolution embrace questions
of privilgges of the highest character, and
recognizes the right of the gentleman from
New York to offer the same." .
' Upon this the Republicans commenced a
struggle against the revolutionary scheme,
which, after four days’ duration, terminated
in the success of the conspirators.
The Republicnns offered to favor the full-
est investigation into all alleged frauds by
which-ever partfi charged to have been com-
mitted, but the emocracy pursued its course
shamelessly and relentlessly, and stifled all
inquiry into attempts at bribery in Oregon,
South Carolina, and Louisiana, and murder
and violence in several of the States. Neither
amendment nor debate was allowed. The
inexonable previous question was applied
and enforced. _ _
This scheme, if pursued, and it is now
fully inaugurated, can only have the effect
of further paralyzing business of all kinds,
preventing the restoration of confidence
which seemed promising, casting a gloom
over every threshold, and bringing our nation
into reproach before the civilized world. _
The peace of the country is the first consid-
oration of patriots. This new effort of the
Democracy to inaugurate anarchy and Mex—
icanize the Government by throwmg doubts
upon the legitimacy of the title of the Presi-
dent is in keeping with the record.of that
party, one wing of which rebelled against the
Government while the other wing gave them
aid and comfort. ,
We call, therefore, u n all who opposed
the rebellion of 1861, without distinction of
party, to rally again to the support of law and
stable government, and to overwhelm with
defeat the reckless agitators, who, to gain
political power, would add to the present
distresscs of the country by shaking the
foundation of the Government they failed in
a four years’ war to destroy.
By unanimous order of the committee.
EUGENE HALE, Chairman.
GEORGE C. Gonuax, Secretary.
Nothing short of open revolution can un-
seat the President, unless by some official
not since his inauguration he has been guilty
of an impeachable offense, and the people
will stand by those who so delcrmincdly re-
sisted the tom-foolery or inciting of another
incipient rebellion.

On the final vote Morse of Mass, and
Mills of Texas, democrats, voted with the
Republicans, and today Alex. Stephens of
Georgia, stated to the House, that had he
not been restrained by being paired he shOuld
have voted against Potter's resolve. Mr.
Morse, who represents one of the Boston
Districts, said last night that he “opposed it
because the people are suffering for the want
of legislation to start the business of the
country, give employment to the thousands
now idle, and food to suffering men and
women. The idle capital in the country is
immense. If the House goes on with this
investigation it will be to neglect its real pub-
lic duty.”
This is identically the ground Represents.
tive Waite tooki’nour own caucus, deprecating
astruggle over the issue. It is entirely cer-
tain the democrats dare not go before‘the
country til; fall on the record they have
made for themselves in the present House,
and so at whatever com, are determined to
originate some diverting issue. This is the
probable motive that underlies the action of
most of those who under caucus dictation
have yielded to the Potter programme,
though many fear more serious and revolu-
tionary purposes.
ms INVESTIGATING cosim'r'rsn.
It is expected that Speaker Randall will
announce the committee on investigation on
Monday morning, and that by the middle of
the week the inquiry will be under full head
way. Mr. Potter, of New York, will of
course, be chairman. Among the democrats,
more prominently mentioned as members of
the committee are McMahon, of Ohio, who
figured in the Belknap impeachment trial;
Hunton, of Virginia; Stenger, of Pennsylva-
nia; Money, of Mississippi. and Cobb, of
Indiana. Among the republicans who are
mentioned for places upon it are Butler, of
Massachusetts; Foster or Monroe, of Ohio;
Lapham, of New York, and FOi t, of Illinois.

It was expected to-day that Mr. Hale
would ofier his amendment to the Potter
resolutibn as a separate proposition. It is
understood, however, that it will not be
offered.

The sudden death of Prof. Henry, head of
the Smithsonian Institute, will be deeply
mourned throughout the world of science
and letters. His funeral was very largely
attendedand a sermon preached by the Pas-
tor of Dr. Mitchell’s church. Both Houses
of Congress adjourned out of respect to the
distinguished dead, and the President and all
heads of Departments attended his funeral.
Professor Beard has been appointed to sue-
ceed Prof. Henry. _ 5
The new House Bill fixes the compensa-
tion of U. S. District Attorneys. C. C.

Stewart L. Woodford of southern District of
New York, $10,000, with 6 assistants at
$3,000 each and three do at $1,500.
Rev. Mr. Anderson of Waterbury, former-
ly of Norwalk, has been spoken of as a pos-
sible successor to Rev. Dr. Mitchell who
leaves Washington for a church in Brooklyn.
Mrs. Senator Eaton and Representative
Lenders returned this morning from a brief
visit to Connecticut. Special Agent Sperry
of Hartford, and Henry I. Hoyt. Geo.- E.
Miller and Eugene Boyer of Norwalk, were
among our week’s visitors here. Represen-
tative Warner returned from his Dismal
Swamp excursion just in time to take a hand
in the Potter investigation scrimmage. The
story started by the Bridgeport Standard,
that the conspicuous marine skill and bravery
exhibited by our friend Warner while pass-
ing through the Dismal Swamp Canal, had
led to a consideration of his name as a suc-
cessor to Secretary Thompson as Naval
Minister, as yet lacks confirmation.
As Ever, ,
”
On Monday, of last week, Mr. Henry Nich-
ols, recently clerk at the Norwalk Hotel, met
with a very serious accident. While driving
down a steep hill in Mianus, the pole of the
wagon broke, and Mr. Nichols and his com.
panion, a Mr. Royce, were thrown violently
against a stone wall. Royce was made an-
conscious, and his head was bruised, his
wrist sprained and he was otherwise injured.
Mr. Nichols was internally injured, and at
first it was thought his injuries would prove
Both men were taken into a house
near by and cared for until Wednesday,
when they were taken to the Lenox House,
Greenwich, the proprietor of which, Mr.
Rood, is Mr. Nichols brother-in-law. Mr.
Nichols has a mother and sister livingin Nor-
walk. At last accounts he was improving.
Mr. Royce is able to walk out.

There are some merchants in this vicinity
who "cannot afford” to advertise in local
newspapers—the best mediums—but who
pay stiff prices for advertising in all the
catcbpenny things that strangers bring
around. Do they ever stop to think how
cheap they can advertise by the year in the
old GAZETTE. One inch of space costs but
25 cents per week. One half column can be
had for $1.54 per week, or less than 12 cents
per inch. One entire column—a splendid
display—costs but $2.89 per week, or about
my cents per inch. There is no other adver-
tising medium in the vicinity that can com-
pete with the GAzarrir for value and cheap-
necs.—and its columns show that this fact is
generally understood and appreciated.
Mr. E‘. J. Hill has just reason to be proud
of his election by the Grand Lodge of Odd:
Fellows, at its recent session, to' one of its
most important offices. From one who has
long been conversant with the doings of that
Grand Body, we are informed that it is a very
rare occurrence to fill the position to which
he was elected without several ballots, while
it appears that our enterprising lumber man,
on the first ballot, was elected over all com-
petitors. We feel safe in predicting that the
Grand Warden,_Hill, has a brilliant official
career before him, and that in his enlarged
sphere of usefulness in the Order, he will
bring to bear that same intelligent zeal and
energy which caracterizcs all his undertak-
ings.
Death of a former Student at
Norwalk.
The Janesville (Wisconsin) journals, the
Gazette and the Daily Recorder, contain ex.
tended obituary notices of WILLIAM Monm-
soN TALLMAN who died in that city on the
13th inst., in his 70th year. He is remem-
bered affectionately by old friends in Nor-
walk, he having spent four years here in
preparation for Yale College, where he grad-
uated in 1830, in the same class with Revs.
S. B. S. Bissell, Melancthon Hoyt, and Benj.
Lockwood; who were his fellow students
in the academy here, and survive him.
His parents were natives of Woodbury,
but removed to New York in 1806.. His
wife was Miss Emeline Dexter, of New
Haven. He practiced law in Rome, N Y.,
from 1833 to 1850, uniting with the Congre-
gational church there in 1837, with his wife.
In.1850 he removed to Janesvillc, and has
resided there until his death.
The Gazette says of him, “Mr. Tallmzin
was a member of the First Congregational
church of this city. exemplary and honored,
greatly admired and respected outside as
well as inside the church. In his personal
habits he was pure, in his business enterprises
straightforward and energetic, and his labors
have been crowned with success. He has
always occupied a prominent position in
social and business circles, although naturally
of a retiring disposition and having a strong
distaste for ostentation, and had occupied the
offices of alderman and county commissioner
for several years. His death will be a great
loss to the community.” ~
The Recorder reports this testimony. Mr.
Tallman revisited Norwalk friends a few
years since, and greatly admired our beauti-
ful town. Those friends here deeply sympa
thizc with his afilicted family. One of them
visited him at the home of his brother in
Brooklyn, a few days before he was removed
to Jancsville, and found him, though very
ill, and expecting death, calm and peaceful
through faith in Christ. B

Decoration Day.
Rev. W. H. Boole, recently settled at
South Norwalk as pastor of the First M. E.
church, has consented to deliver the oration
on Memorial day.
We hope that some arrangement will be
made to bring out our new Band. It. seems
apity to have out-of-town Bands brought
here, and our own left without an engage-
ment.
It is hoped that all places of business will
be closed during the parade and exercises.
There is still some uncertainty about the
plice where the exercises will be held. ’ The
committee waited upon Mr. Stephen Olm-
stead, who claims to be custodian of Union
Park, and asked the privilege of holding the
exercises there, that being the most central
spot to be had, and therefore deemed the
most desirable. Mr. Olmstead, we under-
stand, consented upon condition that be be
paid the sum of $5.00 for damage to grass.
Some, if not all the members, deem this
claim unfair and unjust,—-as well as illibcral,
—because the Park is believed to be public
property, or, at least, that property holders
adjacent have as much right in the premises
as Mr. Olmstcad. Capt. Selleck, our First
Selectman, authorizes us to say to the sob
diers that he will pay the price demanded, if
the claim is insisted upon. If this little
matter is not settled satisfactorily, the sol-
diers will ask the Borough for the use of the
public Green.
The next meeting of the committee will
be held on Wednesday evening, at Pioneer
H. a: L. Co’s Rooms, Borough.
Mr. C. F. Loomis was appointed acom-
mittee to confer with the new Norwalk
Band, and ascertain what arrangement could
be made with them about furnishing music
on the 80th.
All the Borough Fire Companies, includ-
ing the Fire Police, have accepted the invita-
tion of the Veterans to parade on Memorial
day.

At the Sunday School concert, at the First
Congregational church, Sunday evening, the
pastor was taken by surprise by the recitation
by the school, of a very appropriate poem of
Welcome—The Return of our Pastor. The
children had been carefully trained, and the
reading in concert was excellent. The Pas-
tor replied in a brief address, full of tender
and loving appreciation. In addition to the
flowers displayed during the day, the Super-
intendent's table was graced with a beautiful
cross made of lilies of the valley.
Annual Parade.
The Burnside Guards are ordered out on
the 30th inst armed and equipped as the
law directs, for annual drill and parade.
They will Spend the morning in company
drill and target practice, and in the afternoon
will don their white pants and take part in
the parade.
Visitors in town early Wednesday evening
must have thought Norwalk a lively place.
Crowds of people thronged the Bridge, hun-
dreds going to hear Mrs. Van Cott, hundreds
to St. Mary's, a large number to the Grand
Lodge, some to the Opera House, and many
trading at the stores or lounging about .to see
what was going on. We doubt if there were
less than three thousand people on the
streets between 7 and 8 o’clock.
A- NEW ENTERPRlSE.—Tile Messrs. Rose,
of New York, one of whom has recently hired
the McVane place on Center Avenue, have
purchased a strip of in.nd of Nchmiah Brown,
on the Sticky Plain road, and are about to
erect a Match factory. The building will
be 20x30, and .two stories high. May the
enterprise prove successful.
Some eight or ten of the ladies of the Con-
gregational church attended the seventh an-
nual meeting of the New Haven branch of
the Woman’s Board of Missions, at the North
Church, New Haven, on Tuesday last. The
full programme was carried out ; Mrs. Bur-
dctt Hart, of New Haven, President of the
association, presiding. There were present
other officers of the Board, and representa-V
lives from its many auxiliaries. Various re-
ports and papers were read, addresses were
made by four missionary ladies, and by (fliers
interested in the cause. No gentlemen w'ere
admitted, but the Ladies say, could they but
see.with what business dexterity, quiet de-
corum, affability and grace these meetings
are conducted by our representative ladies,
they would appear in striking contrast to
scenes enacted by some of our representa-
tive (i) men, even on the floor of our Amer-
can Congress. ' '

Eli-s. Van Cott on Temperance.
As Mrs. Van Cott was unable to talk on
Temperance Saturday night, as she at one
time intended, and as many persons are
anxious to hear her on that subject, she has
consented to return to Norwalk on the 29th
especially to deliver her lecture “What Shall
we do with the Cup?" The lecture will be
given at tile 2d M. E. church, and ithas
been deemed best to charge a slight admis-
sion fee. As a matter of course there will
be a very large attendance.
Grand School Festival.
Next Friday evening the members of the
Union School, City, are to give another of
their popular and entertaining School Festi-
vals. No pains have been spared in the ar-
rangements, and a good time is promised.
Prof. J. B. Wilson of Selleck’s School has
charge of the singing. The proceeds are to
be used in covering the desks of the scholars.

Festival—Music Hall.
Several ladies and gentlemen of Norwalk
have consented to assist at the Fair and Fee-
tival to be given Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, at Music Hall. A farce and a con-
cert will be given, a. good supper served, and
all the attractive features of an old-fashion-
strawberry festival will be presented. 'The
Trinity church people always give good en-
tertainmnts, and from the proceeds they are
able to pay for good music. The stage en-
tertainments attract a large attendance, and
when people are well pleased they are willing
to spend a little money on something good to
eat or at the fancy tables. Read the adver-
tisement in another column and go on Tues-
day and Wednesday evenings.

The weathcrdast Friday evening,was not very

quite a handsome amount for their treasury.

The Revival.
The meetings at the 2d M. F. Church were
continued afternoons and evenings every day
last week, and the attendance was always

Mr. T. W. Bulkley, who recently came
here from Pennsylvania, and was temporarily
occupying his brother's place up Main street
(the Gray placc,) died last Saturday night.
His brother, Mr. Screno Bulkley. was tele-
graphed for and came on from Scranton,
reaching here a short time only before death
claimed the victim. He was a native of this
county, we believe.
A Chicago street car conductor was hand-
ed a gold dollar for fare. He looked at it a

reluctlantly placed it in his vest pocket and
handed over the change.

rious appeals from members and Lodges from
decisions of the Grand Master during the year
were also presented, in most of which decis.
ions the Grand Master was sustained. The
evening session was occupied in receiving and
takingaction ,upon reports of committees, in-
transaction of new business; At 11 o'clock
the nssion was adjourned sine die after nine
hours deliberation, during which entire har-
mony and good feeling prevailed.
cars were in waiting for eastern bound dele-
gates, who wished to take the 11:30 train,
many remained and were entertained at Ho-
tels and by members of Our Brothers’ Lodge,
-P. G. M., Lee being the guest of E. J. Hill.
We congratulate the Order throughout the
state upon its flourishing condition, numeri-
cally and financially. Never since its organ-
ization has it been a greater power or more
effective instrument for the elevation of man-
kind and the alleviation of suffering and dis-
tress than at the present time. We hid it
God speed in its noble mission.
Below we give a few statistics taken from
the very able reports of the Grand Officers of
this state.
The report of Grand Secretary Botsford
shows the receipts of the Grand Lodge from
May 11th of last year, were $1,690; receipts
of subordinates in 1877 for dues $23,761, and
from other sources $36,963,—a total of $60-
725. There was paid out for relief $22,588,
for expenses $27,151. The receipts over ex-
penses are 810,985, and the total of funds on
hand $148,193.
The total membership of the lodges Janua-
lst last was 6,257, and the present number of
lodges is fifty-two.
As to the Daughters of Rebecca the report
as 5:
)There are fourteen lodges in existence, but
four of them have failed to report within the
time prescribed by the United States Grand
Lodge. From the report made to the United
States Grand Lodge, March 18th, 1878, the
secretary takes the following with reference
to this degree.
Number of lodges 14
Number in membership 1 888
Total receipts $2,262 62
Total expenses 672 85
Total relief 276 00
Funds on hand 4,248 67
From Grand Master Lee’s report, statistics
and events are set forth as follows:
During the year Good Shepherd Lodge,No.
65, was established in New Milford, and Ni-
antic, No. 17, in Niantic, while Eureka
Lodge, No. 75, of Southington, was revived.
Correspondence has been had with references
to the revival of the Quinnebaug Lodge, No.
34, of Danielsonville, (Killingly) Union, No.
30, of Winsted,and Charity,No.l3,of Mystic.
During the year letters have been received
from Wildley Lodge, No. 21,0f Paris.Texas,and
Nowell Lodge,NO. 232,Iowa,asking for permis-
sion to canvassin this jurisdiction for aid and
assistance in rebuilding their halls,which had
been destroyed by fire. -The matter was con-
sidered by the Executive Council, and it was
deemed best—not to grant the permission, for
the reason that at present many of our lodges
are unable to provide themselves with halls.
An appeal has been received from the trustees
of the Odd Fellows’ Asylum of Florida for
assistance. It is not intended to be local in
its sphere of operations, but so to arrange
that any invalid brother may share in its ben-
eficial results. The Grand Master complains
of the action of Beethoven Lodge, No. 98, of
Hartford, which he reproved for having re-
ceived the proceeds of the sale of the- sale of
lager at an excursion last summer. Thepro—
posed resignation of Grand Secretary Ridge-
ly, of the Grand Lodge of the United States,
is referred to with expressions of regret, and
a recommendation is made that the Grand
Lodge of the United States keep the aged
official in his position until death removes
him, furnishing such assistance as he may
need in the discharge of his duties.
Next year the annual meeting will be held
at Middletown.

The exodus to Europe continues, and yet
not-a Congressman leaves the shade of Wash-
ington. Will they allow the grand Exposi-
sition Universelle to break up without a
proper representation of American statesmen?
We suggest that enough naval vessels be
brought into requisition to convey the entire
crowd, and that they go and stay all summer
-—and all winter, and forever,—at the expense
of the Nation. It will be cheaper in the end
than supporting them at home.

Death of is Christ lun Philosopher.
The journals of the country have recently
borne very high and united testimony to the
distinguished scientific attainments and moral
worth of Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian,
who died last week. The N. Y. Tribune of
the 20th says, “Professor Henry was a man
whose religious faith was the centre round
which was ranged his vast knowledge of
scientific truth," etc. ; and publishes a letter
—the last he ever wrote (with the" exception
of a few brief business notcs,) addressed to
Mr. Joseph Patterson; of Philadelphia,”
(who was in Norwalk'a few days since at the
marriage of his son,) in which, in familiar
freedom with his old friend, he sets forth his
scientific, intellectual and moral reasons for
his faith in the existence of a God, “one
spiritual being, infinite in wisdom, power,
and all divine perfectious, unchangeable,
existing always and everywhere,”-—our Crea-
tor, governing the universe by physical and
categorically, first, second, and third, elc., he
concludes thus:
_ “Again, in my own mind I find ideas of
right and wrong, of good and evil. These
ideas then, exist in the universe. and there-
fore form. a. basis of our ideas, of a moral
universe. Furthermore, the conceptions of
good which are found among our ideas asso-
ciated with evil, can be attributed only to a
being of infinite perfections like that which
we denominate “God." On the other hand
we are conscious of having such evil thoughts
and tendencies that we cannot associate our-
selves With a divice being,who is the director
and governor of all, or even call upon him
for mercy without the intercession of one
who may affiliate himself with us.”
So he finds need of a Mediator, divine as
well as human, such as our Lord, the man
Christ Jesus. ‘

CITY NEW.
BY OUR LOCAL REPORTIRS. .
There has seemed to be an “aching void"
for some weeks part, though the local
journals have been issued as usual.
The board of councilman have met and
transacted heavy business; preparation has
been made for Decoration day; the Young
People’s associations hold their stated meet-
ings as usual; llosegood, the butcher, has
removed to Adams do Stevens market; the
steam and horse cars run (or are propelled)
as usual; our chief engineer smiles as bland
as ever, and his command is yet law; the
police trace their lonely rounds; our mor-
cbants await trade with much anxiety; the
men and women at leisure, read the daily
and weekly papers, and when the “old
GAZETTE" is reached, there the “Void” is
found. One column which has always rc-
ceivcd due consideration from all classes of
our city folk had dropped out, and with it
much of the most interesting city news.
Being aware of this, I will try to give you
some items of interest.
We miss those who remove from us, but
citement. Changes in the ownership of r'cal
estate is frequently taking place, Music Hall
being among the parcels. For this week,
excitement is upon us. On Thursday night
the long talked of, and much mussed in the
Sewer question is to come up for discussion
before a city meeting, and our Jim says there
will be spicy times.
Thirty young ladies will act as table at-

On Friday night it is announced 'that the
annual exhibition of the South Norwalk
Union School, will be held in Music Hall.
Parents, teachers and children, are very busy
in preparation, and anticipate a good time,
and hope that none will skulk down the
streets because they received too much for
their money. None but actual members of
the school will participate in the exercises on
the stage.
To-night, (Tuesday) the ladies of Trinity
Chapel propose to present to the public an

The Teacliers’ Convention.
The second annual convention of the Fair-
field County Teachers’ Association was held
at Stratford last. Friday and Saturday. It
proved to be a very successful convention,
the attendance reaching 180. The convention
opened Friday morning, Rev. Mr. Pillsbury,
of the Episcopal church conducting the de-
votional exercises. Rev. Mr. Fitch, of the
Congregational church followed with an ad-
dress of welcome. Secretary B. G. North-
rop was present, as a matter of course, and
read a paper entitled “Some of the causes of
defective vision in pupils, and their remedy.”
A discussion followed, in which Prof. Carle-
ton, of the Normal School, took part. The
question: “How far is it advisable to apply
the graded system to district schools it" was
then discussed.
At noon all present partook of a collation
provided by the ladies of Stratford.
During the afternoon session Prof . Carlo-
toudelivereda lecture on “School Recita-
tions," and there was a discussion on " To
what extent is it desirable to jinquire the
analysis of processes." Miss Marshall read
an essay “ Concerning Primary Instruction,"
for which she was awarded a vote of thanks.
President Harrington announced the follow-
ing committees : 0n nominations—F. D.
Brindsmade, West Stratford, S. B. Dutton,
South Norwalk, and J. A. Wilson, Greenfield
Hill; on resolutions—C. H. Peck, Bridge-
port, Mr. Wright, Greenwich, and H. B.
Wigham, Norwalk.
At evening session, Rev. H. N. Powers,
of Bridgeport, lectured on “The Influence
of the Ideal Element on Character.” Prof.
Bishop entert'ainnd the audience with slow-
tionary selections.
. Teachers from abroad were entertained at
the hospitable homes of Stratford.
On Saturday, a morning session was held,
during which several papers were read, dis-
cussions held, ofilcers elected, dzc.
By consent of the Board of Education,
those teachers in Norwalk who desired to at-
tend the Convenlion were allowed to close
their schools on Friday. Nearly all of the
teachers in town,—with' the exception of
those of the Center district,—availed them—
selves of the permission, and attended the
Convention. They unite in expressing them-
selves highly pleased with the Convention
and delighted with their treatment by the
good people of Stratford.
Last Monday Mrs. Chas. A. Briggs and
Miss Weed were riding with Mr Briggs’ team
and were nearly opposite the Wilson place on
the Roton Point Road, when a peacock
came out from a hedge and spread his tail
directly in front of the horse, which became
frightened, and turning suddenly, upset the
wagon and threw its occupants out. The
horse than started on a run, and ran as far as
Mr. N. Lockwood’s when in some way the
carriage was overturned and one of the shaf ts
boken, the broken end of which was thrust
into the horses bowels, and they were literal-
ly torn out. The horse lived until Mr. Briggs
was sent for, who, seeing that it could not be
saved, had it killed to end its misery. Mr.
Briggs had sold, the horse to Mr. Beard,
and was to have delivered it to him on the
first of June—Sentinel.

An ‘_ Honorable Life Insurance
Company.
Immediately after the death of Mr. Herbert
L. Uhle it was stated that his life was insur-
ed in the “Continental," of Hartford, through
the agency of Mr. O. E. Wilson, Gazette
Building, for the sum Of 85,000. As the
legislative committee was just then “investi-
gating” this company, it was feared by some
of his friends that his family might not
realize the full amount of the policy. We
are glad to be able to state, however, that
Mr. Wilson has received a letter from Mrs.
Uhle stating that she has received the full
amount, and expressing her gratitude for the
prompt and honorable manner in which the
company discharged all their obligations, and
the kind interest which Mr. Wilson always
manifested in the affair.
