Maine Opens the Ball.
The Renublican State Conventional Maine
Which was held at'Portland last week, opens
the ball of the fall campaign, with no un-
certain sound. It stands up and pledges
itself for the sacred honor of the nation.
While the democrats of that state have sur-
rendered bodily to the paper infiationists,
the resOlutions of the Republican Convention
and the speeches of Ex-Vicé President and
Senator Hamlin and Senator Blaine and
Stewart L. Woodford, who was there by
invitation to address the Convention—all
'declare that .this nation’s .promise to pay,
made. in its hours of direstperil, shall be as
sacred as the graves of the dead heroes who
died to maintain our grand nationality.
The firm attitude thus taken by the Pine
Tree State, will do much to strengthen the
party elsewhere and arrest those who with-
out reflection may have been lending a
willing car to the beguiling s'ophistrics of
the repudiators. On the very eve of re-
sumption, it would be both a fully and a
crime to lose all that has been gained and all
the progress thus far made, by taking steps
backward, as the old bullion democrats of
Maine have done to win power. All hail to
our easternmost sister, and may she win the
glorious victory her courage and patriotism
. alike, deserve.

Young Man Drowned.
A sad affair happened in our creek on Friday
evening last, by which a young man aged
about 22 years, named James Howe lost
his life. After finishing work in the shop
on Friday afternoon a small party of Mr.
James Cousin’s workmen took a row-boat
and went dov'vu the river to Oyster Shell
Point where they anchored the boat out in
the stream and then undressing all went in
bathing from the boat; one,of the party a
boy being unable to swim, was taken in
charge by Howe and a comrade who pro-
posed tO learn him how to swim. After
swimming about for awhile the one who
then had the boy in charge felt himself
giving out and called for Howe to take
him, which he did, but was seen almost
immediately to sink; the boy and his com-
rade cried out and an oysterman named Hen-
dricks fortunately passing along just then
seized the sinking boy and pulled him into
his boat thus saving him. Search was im-
mediately made for young Howe, but he
could not be found; resource was finally
had to a pair of Oyster Tongs and his dead
body was soon fished up. Every effort was
made to resuscitate him but all in vain, life
- was extinct. His funeral was attended on
Sunday from the residence of Mr. O.‘Eskel-
sen, Spring Hill.
w
Sudden Death.
Jacob Schwartz, a laboring man residing at
the head of Main street, was struck down
with heart disease, on Thursday last, and died
almost instantly. He will be favorably re-
membered as an exceedingly good natured
comrade by the former members of the old
Norwalk Guards, which company he joined
soon after his return from the war and in
which he served until the disbanding of the
company.
M .
A Good Hat Trade
Our fur batters are just now crowded with
work, and the several manufactories in town
are on the jump filling order work. This is
an encouraging state of affairs for this par-
ticular line of home industry, which we hope
to see extend very soon to all other branches
of trade. Smith & Palmer turned out more
hats during the month of July just past, than
during any month since commencing business
here.
!__—'-_-'____——-_—
A very extraordinary case of mistaken
identity of a corpse is reported in Saturday’s
New York papers. Two men, one an Irish-
man and the other a German, were drowned
while bathing. The body of the German, as
it turned out to be, was first recovered and
given to the relatives of the Irishman upon a
detailed description given to the keepers of
the morgue ii"Without the parties seeing the
body. A wake was held and invitations sent
to all his friends to attend the funeral, when
, the Garnian claimants presented themselves
and demanded it be given them. A terrible
row was imminent, when the body of the
Irishman was found and the relatives made
sure a mistake had been made. All the pa-
pcrs agree that the similarity of appearance
was very wonderful, even to a scar over the
right eye of each man, and but for the find-
ing of the second body away out abreast of
Statent Island, the authorities, relatives and
friends of both deceased men would have
been in a state of most painful uncertainty—
howevcr the contest for the first recovered
body might‘have resulted.
”
A New Crusade.
The movement against rumselling in our
community is not dead as many of those in-
terested had fondly anticipated. Last'week
indictments were made out against several
and Ike Lee, Ed. Thompson and Dennis
Donovan, were tried before justice Stuart,
convicted and fined. Yesterday Giles Greg-
ory was also convicted and fined; they all
took an appeal tothe Superior Court. Thomas
Reiley was tried and acquitted. It is to be
hoped that they will have a fair trial there
this time, no more hocu-spocussing on either
side, but a fair and square trial and a convic-
tion or acquittal that will have .some weight
with it, and be satisfactory to the community
at large.
Commenced Work.
Joy rang out with the penis of the Union
Factory Bell, Monday morning, which called
its 0pcrativ'es to labor again for the first
time after months of suspension. We hope
renewed prosperity may crown this hive of
industry once more and keep its thrifty
operatives busy at bread winning work—for
the future as in the good days gone yb.
The Norwalk Lock 00., too, we are glad
to learn also started up on full time. May
they continue right along and soon be joined
by others of_our manufacturers,then,the good
time so long hoped for, will be here in good
earnest.
German ServicQ
will be held in Trinity Church, South Nor-
walk, on Sunday week, the 11th inst'., at
three o'clock in the afternoon. All Germans
are most cordially invited.

Down East.
We call attention to the adv. of the “Maine.
Steamship Line” for Martha’s Vineyard and
Portland. As there is no summering place
where so many Norwalkers go during a sum-
mer as to Oak Bluffs, this line affords a'rare
chance for that delightful excursion. Then
scores of our people go on to Mt. Desert, and
this is a charming way of getting to Portland
with a speck of a sea voyage before embark
ing on the Mt. Desert boat. The Maine Line
Steamers lie at the next pier to our Norwalk
Steamboat.
Band Tournament.
The Directors of the Fairfield County Ag.
richltural Society have decided to have a
BAND TOURNAMENT to open the Annual Fair
with on Tuesday, September 10th, under the
management of Prof. B. W. Reeves, leader of
the celebrated American Band of Providence,
R. I. Prizes will be offered. which will be
Open to competition to all Bands in the State.
Already, we understand, there is a large num-
‘ber of entries.
Funeral of Dr. Lynes.
The funeral of Dr. Lynes was the most
largely attended of any we have ever wit-
ncsscd in Norwalk. A striking and touching
feature was the great number of our poorer
classes, who stood mutely at the street sides
or followed the funeral cortcge with unaffect-
ed sorrow. The Masons and Odd Fellows of
both of which orders he was a member, were
.out in large numbers ; delegations being pres-
ent from other Lodges. The exercises at the
house were conducted by the Rev. C. M. Sel-
leck‘ and at the church by Rev. Dr. Mead.
The occasion was one of unusual solemnity,
and every one seemed burdened with a deep
sense of personal bereavement. All seemed
oppressed with the fact that our towu had
recently sustained the loss of so many of its
ablcst and best citizens, and so far as mor-
tal vision can discern, there are so few to
take their places in public afiairs. With A.
E. Beard, Judge Butler, Dr. Hill, Senator
Ferry, Eben Hill and Dr. Lynes, our town
has indeed been stricken with irreparable loss.
All our stores and places of business were
closed as by one common impulse, flags were
at half mast,and everything betokcned an un-
usual sorrow. .
E. T. Whitney had a large photographic
likeness of the deceased, appropriately
draped, in front of the GAZETTE BUILDING
entrance, and a similar portrait was placed
in the Wall street window of Prowitt’s Drug
Store. Every one seemed moved by a com-
mon impulse to show fitting respect to our
honored .dead.
Dr. Samuel Lynes, whose death has caused
such deep and unusual mourning in Norwalk,
especially in the families where he was so
trusted and endeare'd as “the beloved physi-
cian,” was not a graduate of the Medical
Department of Yale College (as in our neces-
sary haste we erroneously stated last week,)
but of the College of Physicians and Sur-
geons, in New York, 1846.
But Dr. Lynes was a graduate of Yale
College (the only one of his name on the
catalogue) in the class of 1842—one of the
largest ever graduated there—105, in which
were many who have since distinguished
themselves in the several professions and
walks of life. Judges, presidents, profes-
sors in several colleges, divines, lawyers and
physicians. ‘
As an Odd Fellow, Dr. Lyrics was a Past
Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the
state of Connecticut, and a Past Grand Rep-
resentative of the Grand Lodge of the United
States. With the masonic fraternity he was
a Past Master of St. John’s Lodge No. 6, of
this place.
For the Gazette.
Having just returned from the funeral of
Dr. Samuel Lyrics, at Norwalk, the 31st inst.,.
it occurs to me to note down a few thoughts
suggested by that occason.
One very plain lesson taught that day was
this: The value of along and continued res-
idence in the same community. For two and
thirty years Dr. Lyncs has resided in Nor-
walk. He is known and belwed as he could
not have been any where if he had been con-
tinually shifting from place to place. In
these days of constant changes it is well for
a man to consider this. The profit resulting
from a change ought to be considerable to
balance the loss of cumulative power and in-
fluence a true man gets from along residence.
Especially is this true, if a man identifies
himself, as Dr. L. did, with every interest
and improvement for the good of the place,
sometimes to his own detriment. If he has
been useful and generous and public-spirted,
if his life has been spent and broken there,
like the box of very precious ointment broken
over the head of the Master, it shall, like that
costly nard, fill all the place with the sweet-
ness and savour of it. Alife usually goes
for what it is worth. And its worth shall be
recorded on the streets as the funeral cortege
passes. Thejsad, sympathizin g faces,the places
of business closed, the usual travel and traffic
on the street hushed, the funeral aspect cast
over everythingas the tolling bell finds its
answer everywhere, these all declared the
record of his life, as no eulogy at the church
could have done it.
Another noticeable feature in the life of
Dr. Lynes, and of importance in estimating
his character, was the books he bought, the
magazines and papers he read, which give
one a taste and insight into the tastes and
habits of the man. He was a graduate of
Yale College, spending the whole four years
in study there, turning his attention at once,
after graduating, upon the profession of his
choice, he pursued it with all the thorough-
ness and application that time and unusual
advantages could give him. Upon the com-
pletion of his professional studies in New
York, and after a short experience in hospi-
tal practice, he came to Norwalk to enter
upon his life-work. He did not suffer the
engagements of his steadily increasing prac-
tice to engross his thoughts, nor to confine
his studies to medical works alone. You
shall sec, upon the well-filled shelves of his
beautiful library, books in almost every de-
partment of general literature and science,
'which were not placed there for ornament,
but most of which he had read, and in many
of which y_ou_shall see his marks and critical
comments. Upon almost every subject one
would find him well-read and prepared to
give an opinion with a reason. If one
should ex inc his books and papers on any
special sufictsmuch as “Matters of Finance,”
“Laws Regulating Wealth," “Money as a
Commodity," and also see how much litera-
ture he had gathered upon “The Science of
the weather,” on which subject he became,
through his intimacy with the late Judge
Butler, deeply interested, one would wonder
that amid the claims of such an en-
grossing profession he could find time for it
all. With such a broad and generous culture
himself, he was of course interested in en-
couraging it in others. It was touching to
see so many young physicians, during his
sickness and at his funeral, vieing with each
other in their services toward one who‘bad
taught and befriended and counselled them
all. ' -
But the lesson of chiefest value was that
of his Character, which was essentially Christ-
ian. He was no bigot in religion. When he
united with the Episcopal Church, he made
the remark, that he did not do it because he
considered it the only true church of Christ.
With him, to be a Christian was more than
to be a churchman. The writer of this arti-
cle spent a morning With him, a few weeks
ago, in his carriage, as he was going his
usual round for calls. The Doctor had placed
in the carriage a Greek Testament be had
recently purchased. It contained an interli-
near translation, literal and scholarly. Con-
versation with him about certain critical and
disputed passages disclosed the fact tbs? he
had studied them with care, and was interest-
ed in getting at the very spirit of the origi-
nal. He had a child-like and beautiful confi-
dence in the Lord Jesus Christ as his atoning
Saviour. In this hope and confidence he
lived, and in it he sweetly fell asleep. What
was said about the Great Physician might
truly be said of him, who was the means of
saving so many from death, by his skill and
untiring services, “he saved others, himself
he could not save.” All that could be done,
by loving care and eminent counsel and skill-
ful attention, was done, but in vain. His
overwrought brain, his physical and nervous
prostration, all conspired to close his life at
the mid-noon of its usefulness.
‘ As he lay in his library on the morning of
his funeral, the calm sleeper in the repose of
death, it was enough to touch one to tears,
to see the poor, coming softly and rcvcrcnt-
ly in, some of them there whom their reli-
gion would not suffer to go to the church to
look upon him there, and standing above
him, wiping away the tears as they thought
of all his unbought kindness toward both the
living and the dead, they uttcd their short
but sincere words of afiectibn, it was more,
as a testimonial to the Christian beauty and
Christ-likeness of his charactor, than all the
magnificent floral splendor that adorned the
room and filled it with the choicest fragrance.
As these true mourners from among the poor
walked dowu the pavement,their tears falling
like rain, I thought what a contrast to the
funeral of many a millionaire, all of whose
wealth could not purchase one such honest
tear. The words that the great Apostle uses
in one of his Epistles, when speaking of
St. Luke, may with peculiar fitnessbespoken
of Dr. Lyrics. “The beloved Physician.”

It seems to show that our Member of Con-
gress glories in his. shame and evidently de-
sires the world to know of his prowess. We
think, however, that it will be very hard to
make the public believe that there was any
justification for his accusations. His own
statement belies it. He says, “he (liyington)
asserted that it was the truth, and was pro-
ceeding to tell how he got his information,
when I struck him, doc.” It seems to us that
a gentleman would have waited until the
statement was completed before resorting to
such extreme measures.
As a Democratic journal and asupporter of

of London, paid a high compliment to
American missionaries in Turkey, who had
written the emperor of Germany, givrng
credit to the Turkish government for the
liberalit dis layed toward Christian sub-
jects. 0rd eaconsfield considered this the
best testimony that could be given.

In an interview with a reporter of the
Cleveland (Ohio) Herald, after his. return
from Washington, Gen. Garfield said: “The
Democrats have been bunglers in many
ways; in fact, in almost everything they
have undertaken. Their a propriations,
which were designed, as was c aimed, to be
so very low, finally surpassed the appropria-
tions of the Republican Congress by man
millions of dollars, and twelve or fifteen mi -
lions were appropriated to make up deficien-
cies created through their own previous
neglect or lack of clear-sightedness.”

Death ofEdu in Mortimer Merritt
Probably not many citizens of Norwalk
'knew him whose obituary. we this day record.
Though he has resided for some years in
South Norwalk, his life was mostly spent in
his business in New York or in the bosom Of
his family. But the estimation in which he
was held by those who knew him best. was
attested by the many obituary notices of him
which have appeared in the New York pa-
pers, and by the resolutions of love and re-
spect which we subjoin. as well as by the at-
tendance at his funeral of so large a number
of his associates of the Stock Exchange, and
of his fellow travelers on the cars, and of his
neighbors in South Norwalk,. and by the sad
and tearful countenances of his many friends
as they crowded around his cufiln to take
their last look at his manly, noble face.
His funeral was attended in the Congrega-
tional Church at South Norwalk, on the 2nd
inst, at 4:30 p. m. In the absence of the
pastor the exercises were conducted by Rev.
S. B. S. Bisscll,—the substance of which we
re;produce,—in which were interspersed.
three of the favorite hymns of the deceased,
appropriately rendered by a quartcttc and the
organ.
On Friday morning the remains were borne
to Greenwood attended by the ‘ ofliciating
clergyman and by relatives and a delegation
from the Stock Exchange and his fellow com-
mutors.
E. x. MEBBITT,
Only child of John Merritt and Harriet Bone--
dict,—sister of Rev. Henry Benedict a for-
mer pastor of the First Congregational
Church of Norwalk,—was born in New York
July 17th, 1838. In 1851 he entered the of-
fice of J. F. Van Vleck (afterwards Van
Vleck, Read &. Drexel) as clerk. There he
remained until 1866, when he established the
firm of Merritt do Lapsley (or Merritt, Strang
& Co. ;) was after that partner of C. W.
Keep; but for about ten years has been doing
business on his own accounbwith varying suc-
cess, having at one time accumulated about
$150,000. At the time. of his death he was
possessed of a handsome competence.
Facts show, and abundant testimony
proves that Mr. Merritt was a man of un-
common capacity for business, and of unim-
peachablc integrity and honor in it.
Numerous instances. are given by those
who knew him best, of his freehanded gen-
erosity and sympathizing charity in addition
to his lavish expenditure for those whom he
loved; yet was he not ostentatious in all
this, but it was his habit not to let his left
hand know what his right hand did. .
One of Mr. Merritt’s traits was his love' of
sacred music. When he resided in Brooklyn
he was a member of the choir of the Central
Presbyterian Church (then having the Rev.
J. E. Rockwell, D. D.. as pastor,) and after
his coming to South Norwalk he was for some
years in the choir of the Congregational
Church.
He delighted to sing with his little children
on Sabbath afternoons, especially enjoying
their Sunday School hymns and the songs of
Moody and Sankey. It is stated of him that
on one of his visits with intimate friends to
Nantucket, their singing of such sacred songs
on Sabbath evenings, in their hotel, at-
tracted a crowd of listeners, and was kept up
to'a late hour. Indeed, he was often called
“Moody," by his associates—more probably
from physical resemblance.
We cannot speak at length of what Mr.
lifting the veil of domestic and sacred priva-
cy to. say that the traits which so attracted
love and confidence and inspired happiness
in the social circle, chastened and intensified
by the life and influences of his home were
doubly endearing and sustaining there.
His wife was Louisa Jane, daughter of
- Samuel Raymond Benedict, of Brooklyn.
He leaves six children, the eldest ten years,
the youngest two months. .
His death Was most sudden and unexpect-
ed and a great shock to his friends. Although
he had been absent from his business for a
few days ' for recuperation and recreation,
none looked for so abrupt a termination of
his life. May God sustain and comfort his
family, and imp the lessons of his life and
death on all his riends and acquaintances.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
Brayton Ives, President having .announced

death of their associate. Messrs. J. D. Smith,
R. H. Bissell, C. M. Raymond, C. W. Keep
and S. H. Mills were appointed a committee
to draft suitable“ resolutions and to attend his
funeral. The resolutions are as follows :
Resolved, That the New York Stock Ex-
change has heard with profound sorrow of
the sudden death of their fellow member,
Edward M. Merritt.
Resolved, That we deplore his death as be-
ing our irretrievable loss. His high sense of
honor, generosity and fair-dealing was of so
unvarying a nature that it raised a standard
of integrity in our midst that cannot fail to
him from our sight it cannot efface from our
hearts his unstinted charities, his noble
qualities and unsullied name.
Resolved, That his sorrowing relatives who
find all human comfort insufficient in this
sudden bereavement, may yet find their
grief mitigated in the assurance that we loved
him as a brother—in that he had won our
confidence and esteem, and we tender to
them our sincere sympathy in this grievous
dispensation.
Resolved, That the secretary transmit a copy
of this minute to the family of our departed
friend.

story of a popular bachelor and a friendless

wife has a baby, a troublesome dog, and a

We learn that lost warm excuses himself
for taklng twentydive hundred dollars salary
as a Member of Congress, covering the time
between Senator Barnum’s resignation and
his (woo-nerds) election, on the grounds that
drew the salary from the time of his prede-
cessor's death which was nearly a year previ-
ous to his election to fill vacancy. We had
always supposed that loot understood enough
law to know that it is no justification for a
prisoner on trial for a crime to show that
others had committed like offences a ainst

should govern the actions of honorable men
fully as stron as the civil law should. And
besides this 0v. Hawley had some excuse
for his actiOn which lest id not have. His
predecessor died in Office floor man leaving a

tending our sincerest sympathy to his be-

By the death of the late DR. SAMUEL

tions with us, but in those also which he sus-
tained as an active, valued citizen, a widely
esteemed and skillful physician, a trusted
guide, and counsellor, and a steadfast, faith-
ful friend. ,
With sorrowing hearts we tender the be-
reaved family our warmest sympathies and
though conscious that words of ours can af-
ford slight consolation to them, in this dark
hour of their affliction, we nevertheless would
direct their thoughts to the rich legacy which
has been left them in their remembrance of
the useful, well-spentlife, of a loved and hon-
ored husband and father.
Raolved, That a copy of these minutes be
sent to the family of our late associate and to

Excursions and Health.
The New York Herald of yesterday says,
in speaking of the popularity of excursions of
city people,-—“if to-day proves fair, not less
than one hundred and fifty thousand people
of this city will indulge in short health giving
excursions? After speaking of the delight.
ful Hudson, the shore of Long Island and the
new Coney Island rmorts, it says :—
“Our citizens are beginning to realize that
there is more comfort, pleasure and health,
with less expense, in an occasional trip of a
day, from which they can return to their
comfortable homes, than there is in a long so-
journ at some high-priced fashionable coun-
try hotel, where discomfort is likely to be ex-
rienced from crowded rooms and unfamil-
iar tables, and where ennui is almost sure,to
be a frequent visitor. It is to be assumed
that the managers of excursion boats, trains,
and places of resort will understand that ex-
cursions have become the fashion with the
very best classes of people, and that they will
therefore increase in every possible manner
their precautions against everything that can
annoy, offend or injure any excursionist, for
upon the surety of this depends the popular-
ity of excursions in the future.”
