Miss Nettie Wheeler of Saugatuck ’makes
criticisms on the boat item in the GAznTTn
of two weeks ago. First, the boat’s name is
“Nettie,” and not “Ettic.” Second, the boat

Wheeler, her mother.
The good folks of Easton fully conversant
with the best method of securing the most

It is a fact not generally known that Rev.
A. N. Lewis, of this place is the only mem-
ber of the Second Regiment C. N. G., whose
name was upon its roll at its organization in
1861. Colonel Graham, of Middletown, the
new commander of the regiment, has chosen
Rev. Mr. Lewis as a member of his staff, and
reappointed him chaplain of the Regiment.

being thclfirst stated party sailing from here
across the sound since the memorable Mason-
ic excursion, by propeller City of Norwalk,
in 1868, it may be pleasant to note who
gets seasick and on his return writes poetry
descriptive of his feelings and cxperienee.
The ladies of Christ church propose soon to
give what they will designate a “Lawn
Party”—a social gathering at night in the
open air. The spot has not yet been chosen
but the ladies hope to secure a lawn with
trees upon it near some parishioners house,
where all the members of the church and
their friends may feel willing toassemble and
have a social time. It is proposed to illum-
inate the trees with Chinese lanterns, furnish
music, ice cream and refreshments, charging
therefor 11 small sum. Proceeds for the ben-
efit of the church.
One day last week while on her way down
the sound during a thunder shower, the
schooner, James K. Polk, was struck by
lightning, the bolt shattering the main top-
mast, splitting open the fore sheetblocks and
burning holes in a canvas which had been
placed over a lot of barrels on deck.

The - fact that Rev. editor Lewis of the
Westporter defends the “two citizens” alluded
to by us last week as having been on a “wild
goose chase” searching for the runaway J ack- ~
son boy, by calling attention to our taking
the mill: train for New York, Friday night
after the boy left, in search of the boy, makes
it apparent that he was one of the citizens
who went “On a wild goose chase.” This,
the public would not have suspected had he
remained silent. We did go to New York
that night but not wholly in pursuit of
truants. .'
There is a growing desire on the part of
the public to have a horse car sent to the
first, or 6.25 a. m,, train. During these long
days and hot weather one hour of the early
morning saved in New York, is better than
three hours later in the day.
The village band’s new uniforms are fine,
creditable to their enterprise and adding to

The death, Thursday, of brakeman Wag-
ner, caused by his being struck by one of
the three bridges at Green’s Farms while
riding on top of a freight car, was very sad,
and as this is the third or fourth instance in
twenty years of death from this cause oc-
curring on the New Haven road between
Bridgeport and South Norwalk, it may be
prbper to ask why this sort of bridges over
railroad tracks cannot be carried higher,
thus enabling employees who are sometimes
obliged to pasa from one end to the other of
freight trains while in motion, to dodge out
of danger.
The sudden death of Miss Susan Noble

times, the news of his demise is received
with feelings of sadness. Blessed with a
strong constitution he had never. known
through his long pilgrimage what it was to be
ill, and not_till within the past few months
had the services of a physician ever been
acceded by him. His last sickness was

funeral willl occur, from Memorial church,

Alderman Patrick Fagan, of Bridgeport,
the speculator in forged liquor licenses, who

superior court, but has not yet been paid.
Monday morning about six o’clock, a cut:

It seems John McDonald 11 porter had been
in the habit of blacking boots in the barber
shop, and the barber found some fault be-
cause he soiled the floor. He forbid Mc
Donald this‘ privilege and said if he came
again “he would cut his throat.” Shortly
after they met on the stairs and McDonald
saying he could whi the barber, proceeded
to do it. So Billy icks, the barber, pulled
out a razor and made a rush for McDonald
cutting him across the forehead and nearly
severing his nose from his face. He then
made his escape.

and was sentenced to the penitentiary for six
.months. Yesterday, upon a writ of certio-
rari, she was admitted to bail. Mr. Judson
some years since obtained a divorce from his
wife, but afterwards remarried her. He
subsequently left her because of her habit of
intemperance. Mrs. Judson is a handsome
and well educated woman, and of a very res-
pectable family.
We were favored yesterday with a call
from Dr. W. C. Burke, Jr., of Norwalk,
‘who has become much interested in the
doings of our Scientific Society and is of the
opinion that valuable additions may be made,
both to our own museum, and to our records
of the Indians formerly located in this sec-
tion. There are a number of mounds, shell
graves, etc.. in various portions of Norwalk,
and he states the parties owning the grounds
are perfectly willing explorations should he
made in behalf of our Society. He has him-
self a large quantity of arrow-heads and
other relics. As the working up of the
local history of the Indians is one of the
principal points in the Society’s work, it
would be well for some attention to be given
to this interesting locality to which Dr.
Burke has kindly pointed.

Massas. Enrrons of GAZETTE :—
1 The news of the "Congressional battle”
"fought at Ndrwalk,rcached here very early
next morning and the excitement it has pro-
duced here can be scarcely less than with
you. It is discussed among the lawyers, in
all the stores and on the street corners, and
the one universal expression everywhere is
that Warner has made a hopeless fool of
himself. The Standard gives a sly hint as to
“bat Warner did with his “back pay;” the
current rumor here being, that he sent all of
that $2,500 to our Congressional Committee’s
corruption fund, to make good promises said
tion day. It seems that for some reason, the
naturalized voters threatened to “go back" on
Levi, and the committee got into a panic
about it, fearing lest Dr. Hubbard should dc-
feat him, so the “leaders” of that class, were
called together and contracts closed, at from
$250 to $500 to be paid these “leaders" for
each and every hundred foreign votes they
should poll for Warner. ~- It is not known
whether the poor deceived men who were
thus sold out like cattle ever got a cent of
this contract money, but it is claimed that
as soon as Levi sent over the cash it was
distributed among these contracting “leaders"
as per pledges made prior to election, and as
is always the case, it is now found out by the
parties whose votes were thus sold that they
have been cheated out of their fair share of
pay, as well as disgraced by such a bargain-
ing away of their votes without their knowl-
edge. It also turns out that about all of the
small amount of money that did get into the
hands of the rank and file was paid to Irish-
men, while our large German vote got never
_a cent for their labors and unlimited flow of
democracy and lager. An Irishman and
German got into 'a dispute over this phase of
the case, which was brought about by one of
your GAZETTE Extras getting intotheir hands
at the “corner grocery” where they had con-
gregated to discuss the report of the disgrace-
ful battle of their Congressman. This dis-
cussion was so‘ich, that poor linguist as I
am, I will try to report it for you, premising
only, that the “discussion” can 'no more be
fully reported than the picture of Levi in the
arms of the friendly negro, with hat batter-
ed down over his eyes. While your rich and
rare picture should have been seen to be ap-
preciated, this “debate" should have been
“heard” to fully appreciate its richness. It
opened and ran substantially as follows:
Says Pat :—“The’ dirthy spalpeen of an
Editur to he batin a dacint Congressman in
the strate before all the people! Ef I’d a bin
thare wid me shelala he shouldn't ha’ did it.
A fine gintleman was Mr. Warner, and didn’t
he sind us his back pay to help us out as
what voted for him, and now to have him
bate by an editur, be gorra. I'd guv it to ’im
till he hate the both of us, I wud.”
Hana-“Mine got in himmels, vat ish dat
you say says pout Warner givin’ you tam
Irishmans his pack pay, don’t it? If he has
done dat things he prakes the law, and it vas
right to smash his but right down pefore his
eyes over his pig ears, and I hopes he proke
his nose—dot editur vot eats him up, don’t
it ? Dundcr and blixen, dis Congressmans
Warner, what is so perlite to the Dutchmans
before his ’leetion, and then gives all the
monish he gets out of the government to the
tam Irishmans, vot is no goot for somethings,
pesides voting. I shust helps that editur mit
myself."
Pat.——"Bcgorra, I don’t care if yecs are
Amsterdam Dutch, or Rotterdam Dutch, or
some other d—n Dutch, I say, while I don't
feal like sphakin’ a wurd about the bloody
ruetion, its a shame for a high gintleman the
likes 0’ him to get beat 0' the gob and no one
there to help uv of him. Where wer the Tip-
'perary boys in his own town/T—thc bloody
editur—bad ’cess to himl I say he guv us the
price nv a day’s work if we wud vote for
him, as ivery mother’s son uv us did as got
his five dollars and his two dollars and a half
for votin.”
Ham.--So bad ash vorsc. Does he give
two dollars and fife dollars for the Irishman
.his votes and notting to Deitchmans '1’ Dat is
vot just I wants to have you tells me for
dose tings shall cease right away off pretty
soon, so maype the editur knocks his head
off just right ashe deserves, don’t it ?
Pat.-—What’s that, the auld dirthy haste
of a. utchmans says to me know? The
dirth blackguard. I’ll tap him on the gob
if he spakes disrespectful of me and my
friend Warner. I’ll just show him meilli-
gant pair uv bones, and I’ll hate the Dutch-
man and that bludy editur, bad ’cess to um
all, forI hate the Dutch, anyhow. Hould
yer whist, now, you big-bellied lager spal-
peen.
Hana—“Oh, dot vos yer games. vosh it,
you vild Irishmans? Maypee, by’mby, pretty
soons, you vill hits me shust as der Warner
hits dot editur. The first dimes he hits mit
him, he misses him, and the next dimes vot
he hits hims he hits him shust vare he
misses him pefore. Dot vash‘ goot for van
Congressman vot givgs his monish to der vild
Irishmans and never gives der Shermans so
much as a schooner of lager beer for deir
votes, eh, vosh dot so? So it vosh.”
At this juncture a second Irishman, who
had been a deeply interested listener to the
discussion, unable longer to contain himself,
broke out with :
2d Pat.——“Hould on there a bit, Mike.
What’s that yer a sayin’ ? You gets some of
that money Warner took from the Treasury,
entirely! Begorra, I niver saw the likes o’ a
hapen's worth 0’ the crathur. Trhue of you
they all promised to us hys, but our club
niver got the show of a cint. The black-
guard of aCongressman to be payin’ a part iv

at the likes 0’ him meself. Hould your
whist, now, about this mane spalpeen of a

This spirited colloquy reveals a very inter»
estin “state of facts". for theIdemoci-acy of
the earth Congressional District to explain.
From its intense earnestness there can be no
doubt of a free use of a “corruption fund" in
securing the election of Mr. Warner, and it is
his turn now to “rise and explain” what he
did with the $2,500 he drew on his first mi-
val in Washington. and what portion of our
naturalised voters were paid for voting for
him, and what portion were promised pay
and then cheated '1’ Axons,

V
New England Sonators’ Home.
The homes of the New England Senators
afford the Boston Herald a theme for some
interesting descriptive gosaip. These are
mostly of a very unpretentious character.
The residence of Senator Dawes, at Pitts-
field, Mass, is alargc square, brown man-
sion of wood, the south windows of which
command a beautiful prospect of the valley
of the Housatonie and of the Hoosac Moun-
tains. Mr. Dawes has a farm a mile or two
out of the village, and riding horseback
with his: daughter for Icompanion, is his
favorite method of taking a constitutional.
Senator Hoar's house is in the quiet north
end of Worcester. It is a roomy cottage
with gables and veranda placed in a minia-
ture forest of tall oaks. The home of Sena-
tor Barnum of Connecticut; is at Lyme
Rock, a little hamlet among the Litchficld
County hills. It is ample and hospitable
looking, and suggestive of the solid comforts
of domestic life. Quite a farm surrounds it,
and the Senator’s live stock runs to Alder-
neys. A pleasant residence on Church
street, Hartford, two squares from the depot,
shaded and quite dcspiet its proximity to
the city’s heart, houses Senator Eaton. The
Senator has a large building lot on Wethers-
field avenue, upon which he means to build
a mansion. Senator Anthony, of Rhode
Island, although wealthy, contents himself
with a plain two story wooden house on
Benevolent street, Providence; his colleague,
Burnside, has a commodious residence in
Providence, elegantly furnished as well as
a Summer-villa near Bristol, on Narragansett
Bay. The home of Senator Morrill of Ver-
mont, is in the rural town of Sit-afford, eight
miles away from the Central Vermont Rail-
way. Senator Edmunds hasa home, rarely
occupied by him owing to his ties at Wash-
ington, in the centre of Burlington. It is of
brick, and stands in a four acre lot thickly
planted with shubbery and trees. The New
Hampshire Senators are domiciled, the one
at Milford and the other at Concord. Mr.
Wadleigh's residence at Milford overlooks
the village, and is thehandsomest in town. In
the Senator’s law office is one of the finest
private. libraries in the State. A span of
sorrel horses are Wadeleigh’s special weak-
ness. The home of Senator .Rollins is
one of the oldest in Concord, built of brick,
and antique in appearance. He has alsoa
farm at Rollinsford, where he spends most
of the season playing the gentleman farmer.
Senator Hamlin has a modest home at Ban-
gor, Me., and also a good farm in the vicini-
ty, upon which he takes great satisfaction,
like his New Hampshire neighbor, as an
amateur agriculturist.
O
Virginia’s New Code.
The new criminal code of Virginia, that
went into operation on July Ist, contains the
following provisions: “If any person direct-
ly gives to a voter in any election any money,
goods, or chattels, or pay his capitation tax,
under an agreement expressed or implied,
that such voter shall give his vote for a par-
ticular candidate, such person shall be pun-
ished by fine not less than $20 nor more than
$100. And the voter receiving such money,
paid in pursuance of such agreement, shall be
punished in like manner with the person givi
ing the same.
In all cases of conviction for misdemeanor
the court of justice trying the case shall as-
certain the punishment, where the same is
not fixed by law: provided, that not more
than 39 stripes shall be inflicted in one day,
nor more than 78 for one offense, and that no

about the plague of darkness in Egypt.
"‘That must have been terrible,” said the
reader, pausing, “awful; just think of it,
darkness so intense that it could be actually

“Hob," said Mr. Anderson, “that was
nothing. I remember one night in East
Feliciana when it was so dark—’m! Talk
about darkness. Why I had to wade through
it just like mud to get home. ‘ Lots of people
got_tircd out, and scared, and staid right
where they happened to, be all night. Why
'when we went to bed that night, we never
hung up our clothes, just pushed 'em kind

and there they stuck. It was funny in the

hear the things dropping out, as the dark.

I remember that I put an old pair of boots

A Cambridge woman put herself in the
hands of a Boston dentist to have her teeth
re-organizcd. He found them in a ver bad
plight and asked” her why she had al owed
them to become so decayed without coming
to him or some other dentist. She ' replied
that she had not had time. “But,” he in-
sisted, “it would not have taken long, and
you could have come in almost any time.”
She saw that he was bent on an explanation,
and she fired this at him like a cannon ball :,
“Well, I guess if you had had a baby every
