For a Compromise.
In the possible event ii at no one of the
several distinguished gentlemen hitherto
named for the U. 8. Senator can be united
upon, there are hosts of Fairfield county
people, who would rejoice to see Prof.
Cyrus Northrop, selected and elected as a
Compromise candidate. _

Borough Warden T. H. Morison and wife
celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of their
wedding, last evening. A large company of
friends crowded his hospitable mansion,
wishing the happy couple continued health
and prosperity way down to the golden and
diamond anniversaries.
m
Sooranu.—The first church sociable of
the season was held by the First Congrega-
tionnl Society, at the residence of Mr. Perley
II. Glines, on Friday evening last. The at-
tendance was quite large, and the party
passed off in a very agreeable manner... A
pleasing feature incidental to the occasion,
was a wedding reception to Mr. and Mrs.
‘Will B. Glines who had but recently arrived
from Ohio. Thus the bride was presented to
those who are hereafter to be her friends and
neighbors, and was warmly welcomed to her
new home. Another feature, unusual at such
gatherings, was ,a bountiful supply of re-
frcshments, servgd by the hosts. Altogether
the party was of such a pleasing nature, as
to cause a general desire to have similar so-
ciables given thr nigh the winter.
m
A calm and impartial survey of the Sena-
torial field, leads to the belief that Hon. 0.
H. Platt of Meriden is very decidedly
lesdlngall other Second District candidates.
This, in- spitc of the ripcr experience and
greater activity of Hon. S. W. Kellogg of
Waterbury, and the universally conceded
high character and pro—eminent abilities
of Hon. Henry B. Harrison of New Haven.

Licenses.
It was a matter of great surprise to those'
who listened to the testimony drawn out,
under oath, by the sharp cross questioning of
Commissioner Wright, to learn what a poor
and unprofitable business liquor-selling was
here in Norwalk. We don't think we ever
listened tOLmore discouraging recitals. Sev-
eral even went so far as to employ legal help
to impress the Commissioners with the los-
ing and unprofitable nature of the business.
And yet, they stepped up to the captain's of-
fice and plunked down their hundreds and
hundreds and fifties like heroic little men.
m
The Difference.
In New Hampshire, the politicians be-
lieve in predestination. It is claimed that
every third man in that state, believes
himself to have been fore-ordained to be
an Unfied States Senator and goes through
life struggling to make his election sure.
It is difierent in Connecticut. We can
count up only about a single score of those
who deem themselves specially created and
endowed for that position.
”
Sensible to the Last.
We have just received the . following en.
couraging letter from our old friend and form-
er fellow townsman, T. Warner, Jr. We are
glad to get his a‘ghty-fourfh dollar, but great-
ly more gratified to know that the old Ga-
zarrs has had such a convincing and correct-
rug effect upon our friend. We felt sure we
would conquer at last. the simple power of
the truth as disseminated by the GazErrr.
Did our friend note the same effects herea-
bouts in a much larger degree at our last elec-
tion? But to the letter :—
Srarxorram, Mass. Nov. 16, 1878.
- Msssns EDITORS:
Guxrs. I enclose $2 for the forty-second
annual subscription to the Gaza-urn, which
may have partially converted me to Repnbo
licanism, hiving voted at our last State
election for a portion of that ticket. Any-
thing almost to beat Butler.

A new time table went into effect yes-
terday morning.

Meeker Brothers recently met with quite
a misfortune. ijheir packet beat, “Lady
Jackson," was caught in a storm of Green-
wich, and before a reef could be taken the
mast snapped off and went overboard with
sails and rigging: Both anchors were put
over, and the hull rode out the storm. ‘ The
vessel has been thoroughly repaired, and has
usumed regular trips.
' The Fair.
The Catholic§LFair cloud last Saturday
evening, having' been remaknbly successful.
The net amount raised for the benefit of the
church is stated'at $2,000—an amount much
larger'than ever raised by any other society.
The fair was made attractive to the people
many old style methods being employed to
this end. Chances were sold for innumerable
articles, creating great interest, of course,
and also disappointments. There was a hop
at the close, every night, and this feature
seems to have been immensely popular. The
voting for the “most popular man in town"
caused much excitement. Every vote
brought a dime into the Treasury. The
town was pretty well canvassed for voters,
by friends of the candidates and church.
The girls in the laundry department of the ,
shirt factory raised a subscription among
themselves for their favorite and employer,
but no _help was obtained from any other
department of the factory. The leading can-
didates were as follows :
W. H. Earle, 611 votes.
Jas. W. Hyatt, 1458 “
Winfield S. Hanford, 1071 “
Thomss’H. Morison. 1785 _ “
Total, 5,525
Thus the nice sum of $600 and over was
converted into the treasury. The rattling of
articles was also a source of great profit.

Norman: Dauooau.—This spunky lit—
tle organ of the untcrrified democracy has
purchased an ofilce outfit and moved into the
room recently vacated by St. John's Lodge

Here in its safe retreat, it will spill out its
weekly dose of unadulterated doctrine, to its
rapidly increasing number of subscribers.
Any of the genuine, old fashioned, hard.
shell, sort of democrats who may now be

The old toper who accidentally quafed the
sulphuric acid, and with hearty “shear,"
and smack pronounced it the best liquor he'd
tasted since he was a boy—said it “took
hold and had some strength to it"—only ex-
pressed the somewhat similar sensations a true
Bourbon, Jack‘sonian democrat 'must feel as
he faithfully imbibes his orthodox political
doctrines as served up weekly in the columns
of the “Norwalk Democrat. " .

Arrangements have been made for the

An Unpleasantness.
The only serious unhappiness we have
heard of anywhere hercabsuts, as resulting
from the late election, is just now convul-
sing the “Norwalk Hut Finishers Associa-
tion.” This is a society founded on the no-
blc principles of mutual aid. It has an in—
vested fund of some $1,300. Like similar
associations it pays $100 funeral benefit at the
death of a member and assess one dollar
upon the survivors. It has a finance commit-
tee of three, all of whom must sign their ap—
proval of any order before the money can be
paid out of the treasury. Just before elec-
tion a trusting was hurridly called and a vote
passed appropriating $50 for use at the elec-
tion. How it was used does not satisfactorily
appear. And herein lies the rub. It is
stated that a committee of six were appointed
to use the money in the proportion of eight
dollars for each man. As the organization is
purely a benfit one, and not at all partisan,
and the “committee" could only have had
the proper excuse of working for such a can-
didate as would use his influence against hat-
ting in the State prisons, and as no hats are-
inadc in our. prison, and if any were, Gov.
Andrews wa ssqunrely on the record against
allowing convict labor to be put in competi-
tion with honest mechanics‘ work,whilc Gov.
Hubbard had dodged the issue, and as all six
of said “committee" are reported to have
done their level best to elect the democratic
ticket, there arose violent objections to pay-
ing money out of the Society’s treasury for
such a purpose. This is represented to us as
a fair statement of the issue. The finance
committee refused to audit or approve the
order for the fifty dollars and the treasurer to
pay it, when another meeting was called and
the auditing committee and treasurer were all
rem0ved and new ones appointed in their
places, by the president declaring the meas-
ure carried, although the vote was 29
against, to 27 for, the change. Such an
extraordinary proceeding of course has
caused much ill-feeling, and as it is a great
pity that the existence of a society fronght
with so lunch good should be thus imperiled,
we hope the "boys" will pass around their
hats and collect the fifty dollars, even though
lime Republican members have to help out
the contribution.

The Boro’ election takes place week after
next, on Monday, Dec, 2d. The Republican
caucus for the nomination of candidates will
take place next week. Talk Over the nomi-
nations, and see who are willing to serve the
people in the various positions. It, is not
every good citizen—especially business men,
—who will consent toservc, if elected, while
many decline to try the chances of election.
This year, however, everything looks favor-
able for the Republicans and it is highly
probable that their candidates will be
triumphantly elected. Look out for good
men, therefore, and go into the election with
the determination to win.
Robert McAllister, of Winnipauk, who
fell from a wagon on election day and broke
a leg, lingered until Friday last, when he
died. He is spoken of as an honest, indus.
trious man, generally esteemed.

Is Your Name on the List ?
The Registers have made out a list of vo-
ters of the Borough, “as nearly correct as
practicable," and posted the same in the Post
Office, for public inspection. As the Boro’
election law has made no provision for the
correction of clerical errors, all voters should
examine the list and see that their names are
properly registered. All the electors of this
State, who have continuously resided within
the Borough limits six months, are entitled to
be registered and to vote. Persons desiring to
have names added to or taken from the list,
must make application to Boro' Clerk Footc
before next Monday afternoon.
Methodist Supper.
Our friends of the 2d M. B. church have
taken ifs by surprise by announcing their an-
nual Supper a month earlier than usual. It
is to be held this week, on Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings. On the last evening
a Concert will be “thrown in,” the music be-
ing by local talent. These Methodist Sup-
pers have grown to be an “institution,—and
their popularity is something remarkable.
People never go away liuugry. Go and en-
joy a good square meal, and help the Society

FATAL Accrnxx'r.—On Friday last, John
Butler, a resident of the Borough, went 40
his work near “fourteen acres,” as usual. He
worked alone, and was engaged in blasting
rocks. About two o'clock some of the neigh-
bors heard the noise of a blast.‘ Sonic two
hours afterward someone wandered over to the
place where he had been working. and was
astonished to find him lying on the ground
in an unconscious state, with his skull crush-
ed in. Dr. Nolan was called but could do
nothing for the sufferer, who lived but a
short time longer.
The liquor licenses granted last week
ought to be strong and above question, con-
sidering the place from which they emanated.
It toasastrange sight to see all the liquor
dealers of the neighborhood congregated
within the inner temple of the Sons of Tem-
perance, waiting for their licenses. Within
the memoryof the eldest Son such a sight
has never been seen before. _

Trumps were around thick as hops, Satur-
day. One of them boldly announced his
intention of getting whatever he wanted by
fair means or foul, and intimated that the
tramp legion was now preparing to enter
winter quarters at the County hotel. They
willbe caught stealing and sent up, they
hope, for four months. If we could make
our jails self-supporting, he said, we could
accomplish something to abate the nuisance,
but that was impossible. Jail life is pref-
erable to them to being “snubbed at back
doors, cold mornings, and their wants not
supplied." The New Hampshire plan would
probably work well with such fellows.
Tint Phoenix—On Thursday evening, at
the Opera House, Milton Nobles will appear
in his comedy “The Phoenix,” which has
won great favor all through the country. At
South Norwalk, last season, the audience
was delighted with the play. Seats can be
secured at chd’s. The Sunday Courier
says:
“This l’uonxlx," is in some respects sug-
gestive of the Streets of New York, and the
hero another: of those ncfre-do-wclls, well
known and popular with old play goers.
Mr. Nobles, the author of the drama, and a
ood actor. appeared in the leading role.
he piece was effectively put upon the stage,
and the company were good in the ir respec-
tive parts. Tire fire scene in the prologue
was one of the most realistic effects in this
direction ever seen on the‘Boston stage.

The Napoleon of‘Waikists.
Bridgeport has a new sensation that is
destined to drive the horrible memory of
her murderers totally out of mind. “Sport"
one of her most noted public characters has
succeeded, without previous professional
training. in beating O’Leary‘s wonderful
walking exploit in London, accomplishing
521 miles in less than six days! He is quite
well known in this vicinity as a vendor, and
is usually here at County Fairs, shows, &c ,
and is sure to be conspicuous in acrowd.
He started in New York as a news-boy
and volunteer fireman. He then became a
peanut vendor in Bridgeport. There he
began a wonderful career of stopping run-
ning horses, and in this line he did some very
remarkable feats. He became a fruit ven-
dcr. Stimulated by the endeavors of Moore
and others in Bridgeport, Napoleon Campana,
or “Sport,” nshc is called, claimed that he
could do better than any of them. At last
he got hackers, and last Monday he began on
an oblong track of about 330 feet an attempt
to beat O’Lcary’s time of 520} miles in six
days. Cnmpnna has two ruptures, one very
large, and also an acute swelling on one
knee; with these he has indomitable pluck.
He walked and run 100 miles in shoes which
did not fit. him, before he got suitable ones.
Friday evening it was discovered that the
truck had been erroneously measured, that it
took 15;;- laps to make a mile instead of 14,
and that each mile recorded for Campana
had been 571 8.10'feet short. This was dis-
couraging, but it did not hinder the pedes-
trian from completing his task. At 9:40 p.
to. Saturday he had walked 521 miles and 54
feet, and at that time he stopped. He had
surpassed O'Leary’s time, which was 520-}
miles in six days. Campana‘s last mile was
made in '7 minutes 3 seconds. He is forty-
two years old. The Standard says:
“Sport is a curious fellow at any time, but
he has developed an astonishing amount of
ecullarity since he started last Sunday night.
Pic has made a number of short speeches to
the crowd. Last night he said he was only
walking six days now but next time he
,would walk thirty. He tried to make a bet.
the other day that he would walk fonr miles
an hour. for thirty duvs. Last night he
wanted to make a match to walk 1,400 miles.
He tells visitors he hasn't eaten anything for
a week or two, that he never sleeps, and all
that sort of thing. Once he got his clothes
on to leave the hall because some one talked
to him, and at another time he refused to
budge a foot until clocking glass wns hung
up where he could see himself. Hrs three
dogs are with him and have been tired out
several times and had to leave the track.
He gets irritable at times and Will stop and
bicker with any of the bystanders. His
constant fault finding has made the ,task of
Merrill, his trainer, anything but abed of
roses."

Q.
EDITORS Gamma—The Sentinel, of Sat-
urday, November 10, quotes the Act of Aug.
2, 1872, and goes on to speculate as to the le-
gality of the action of the County Commis-
sioners. If the editor had consulted the stat-
utes he would not have found any such act.
The facts are that the County Commission-
ers of the State are in the habit of meeting
annually for the purpose of consulting as to
various matters pertaining to the office, and
in 1874.nftcr considering the matter of license
fees decided to fix a uniform rate of $100
for all licenses. The law, however, fixes the
fees at not less than $100 nor less than $500
the amount to be determined in each case by
the Commissioners. So far as- injustice being
done to any parties, we have reason to be-
lieve that notwithstanding the rigid examina-
tion of applicants, many make statements un-
der oath which the facts of the case will not
warrant, and as the fees are fixed after such
statements are made the public may judge
for themselves by the amount of license
charged whether any party has "made false
statements. R .

rates of freight has been‘made. Produce of
all kinds is now taken at fifteen (15) cents per
barrel, and all other kinds of freight taken on
the same proportion. This line is a great ac-

The Quarterly Centennial Anni-
versary of Plymouth Church,
Syracusc,«N. Y, _
Was mentioned in the zes'r'ra of the 12th
inst. The Syracuse Daily Journal brings
interesting reports of it. It has interest for
readers of the Gamma, not only because our
townsman, Dr.’Beard, is the present pastor,
but also because his predecessor, for four
years and three months, was that brilliant
prenchrc Rev. S. R. Dimock,formcrly of Wll.
ton, afterwards of Piltsfield, Mass.
Dr. Board’s anniversary sermon was innin-
ly historical. During his pastorate of nine
years and a half, 427 persons have been added
to the church, which now numbers 504 per-
sons. During the first year of his pastorate
91 joined, on confession of their faith, on a
srngle Sabbath, 30 of whom were heads of
families; in 1874 the addition by confession
were 108. The Journal says : Dr. Beard
closed with an eloquent cxordlum to rcncwcd
zeal and activity. The discourse throughout
was deeply interesting to all present, and
while at times drawing tears from many eyes
by renewing tender memories, at others
smiles were provoked by flashes of wit and
humor over various phases of experience.
The occasion was celebrated also by the
Sunday Schools of the church, on Sunday
afternoon, and by a social reunion, speeches
and collation on Monday evening.
Norwalk,
A Reminiscence.
'_ ‘hc recent Adelphi disaster very vividly rc-
callcd the great and terrible railroad accident
at Norwalk draw some twenty-five years ago.
One of the most marvellous restorations after
a case of supposed drowning, that has ever
been recorded in medical histories was that
of the then Miss Griswold. This young
lady, who was the daughter of the popular-
author and clergyman, Rev. Dr. Griswold,
had been under water not less than a quarter
of an hour. When drawn out, her heart and
pulse were still and her absolute death pro.
nonnced by several physicians who examined
her. But from some sort of prescntlmcnt or
faith that she could be resuscitated, Linus
Benedict, at that time the proprietor of the
New Canaan and Norwalk stage line, insisted
upon having her arms rubde and her chest
depressed and inflated after the prevailing
modes of rcsuscituting the drowned. ch-
oral ladies, by Mr. Benedict’s cntrcaty, were
induced to assist him in his efforts. The
first evidence of lingering life was a glow of
warmth under the arms, and after long con-
tinued and vigorous rubbing she gave a con-
vulsive gurgle and groan, which startled as
well as gladdeued every beholder. Miss
Griswold subsequently married a missionary
and was sent out to Africa with her husband.
She remained in this distant field of Chris-
tian labor for many years, but has recently
returned and with her family isqnowresidiug
in New Jersey. It is Mr. Benedict’s inten-
tion to pay her a visit,nnd we can imagine the
surprise with which, at this remote period
from that remarkable occurrence, her deliv-
erer will be received,

Humor- 01‘ Election.
Hun. David Galliip adds his weight to the
Senatorial centest. ‘
Hon. Gilbert Phillips, State Senator elect,
has been run into the senatorial race. ,
_ Hon. Amos S. Treat towers in amougthc
possible senatorial candidates, and iii charac—
ter and abilities is not below the general aver-
age.
In addition to Col. H. W. R. Hoyt, the
names of Generals Smith of Norwalk and
New Haven and also Gen. Wessclls, of Liteh-
field, are named as candidates for the Adju-
taut—Gcncrnlcy.
Those letters on the Connecticut Senatorial
question to the Springcflld Republican and
New York Sun, and which have such a
strong flavor of “Ash” about them, are very
spicy reading just now.
A petition asking for the appointment. of
Brigadier General Smith to the adjutaiit
generalcy has been presented to Governor
Andrews signed by a. large number of the
military officers who would have been
equally willing to sign for Colonel Hoyt had
he been in the field first.—-Pallarllmn.
We don’t exactly see how Geri. Smith, cr
any one else, was in the field before our
Col. Hoyt. Our Faii'ficld county “sogcr
boys” arn’t apt to let any one get into the
the field before them.
The Stamford Herald says most of their
voters of both parties, came out after elec-
tion with new shoes, huts and over-coats,
showing there must have been lots of betting
over there.
An enthusiastic Republican writing us
from Washington says—“Have been some-
what piizzlcd to know where you would
bury all of your 4th District dead mules—-
Barnum, Bi-uggerhof, Barbour, Warner,
than the yellow fever at the South. I
thought Bruggerliof’s a fatal case just as
soon as I saw who his chief Fugle man was.”
Those who fancy the Labor or Greenback
movement here does not amount to anything,
and that portion which left the democratic
party will be whipped back again, are, in our
judgment, greatly deceiving themselves. It
was because of the dcep~scatcd dissatisfaction
and disgust with the democratic party, as at
present constituted and oilicci‘cd, that led to
the present bolt, and until that party is re-
organized and re-habilitatcd these men are
not to be either to be driven or coaxed back.
Congressman Warner, in his oracular state-
ment to Mitchell, struck the key note when
he said their party “must be reorganized"
before it could ever win another victory.
Senatorial.
The Palladium thus ends an able and ear-
nest appeal for Hon. Henry B. Harrison for
next U. S. Senator :—
She [Connecticut] needs a Senator so pure
and high-minded that no one, no matter how
impndently corrupt, would venture to ap—
proach him with a proposition which was
not strictly honorable. She needs a Senator
able to speak for her in a chamber where she
has long been silent, a man whose words will
be heard with respect because there is a man
as well as a party behind them. She needs a
Senator who is a man of the people and yet
no demagoguc, toud'ying for their votes and
applause. She needs a Senator who is no
less a man of the people that his education
has been such as to enable him to wortliily
represent the culture of a State that is justly
proud of what Yale has been and is to the
Nation. And she needs a man who though
highly educated has never assumed that his
education gave him the right; to sneer at
others, or that his ability and high standing
in the community entitled him to be toadied.
Plain and simple in manner and beaming,
commanding by force of ability, high charac-
ter and pure life the respect of all who know
him, but never stooping to beg for the office
he is so worthy to fill, such is the man the
people of Connecticut would delight to honor
as their representative in the Senate of the
United States. With no lower standard
ought they to be satisfied. Let the members
of the General Assembly test all candidates
by it, and then give us the best.
It is a source of much satisfaction to his
many friendsat the National Capital to know
that Colonel Wait, of the third Connecti-
cut district, has been re-clected, and that,
too, by a vote largely in excess of the State
ticket. This shows Colonel W'nit to pen
man of the people-one who enjoys not
only their confidence, but their active sym-
pathies. No district in the country has a
more faithful Representative than the third
Connecticut.— ll’aehlngton Republican.
* * * * * A dozen Republicans are
named for the senator-ship, half a dozen of
whom are quite prominent, and while the
adherents of each have pressed the claims of
their respective favorites with usual zeal and
vigor, yet no where have we seen an unkind
.word uttered by u llepnblican paper against
any of the candidates, but; on the contrary
each paper has taken pains to give every can-
didate his full mood of merit from its stand-
point. Nowhere have we noticed any at-
tempt to build up one candidate by pulling
another down.—.l[ere'den Republican.
The Meriden Republican concludes an
earnest plea for Hon. O. H. Flatt'for Sena-
tor. as tollows :—
7 We need hardly add, in a State where
Mr. I‘latt is so well known that he is a con-
scientious, Christian gentleman, living up
as nearly as any man can, to the golden rule
and adopting all through his life the motto
of Liiicoln,—-“Witli charity for all, and
malice toward none.” 110 is a prominent
member and deacon in the Congregational
church here; every good work of reform,
religion, morality, temperance, &c., always
hasliis old, so that if Connecticut desires
to be represented by what our {Democratic
friends SHCCl'lllgly call a “Christian Slates-
man,” Hon. Orville lI. Platt will be a most
fitting election.”
Dr. Fred Browne, of Hartford, gives it
ashis opinion, that while the injuries Senn-
tor Barnum sustained on the 7th of Novem-
ber by the kick from his mule will lay
him up for some time, they are not: neces;
surily fatal. The senator, with careful
nursing, Dr. Brown hopes, will be able to
be around in 1880, even if he has to use
crutches.
A little more sgnsc in New Jersey and a
few more dollars in Connecticut would have
assisted us mightily.—— “Wellington. Post (lem.
How will this do for Connecticut:
For one year at. least we can safely forego
any tinkering of the liquor law, the laws
about. taking ulcwives and planting oysters,
about the military and married woniem, regu-
lating the 5 do of butter anctcgg‘, concerning
lmwker's, und pedr‘llurs, and pressed hay,
and a. thousand and one other matters which
generally consume some weeks of the ses-
sion. The Commonwealth will take no dct.
rimcnt, if its citizens have to worry through
1879 without a single not being passed upon
the subject of railroads or savings banks.—
New Boll/0rd film-cum.
Whether or not the attitude of the admin-
isti'ution toward the south may be termed a
change of policy, the fact remains undisput-
ed that the violators of the election laws in
the states of Louisiana, Florida and South
Carolina during the recent canvass are to be
prosecuted vigoroiisly. If any law exists by
means of which the guilty can be punished,
it will be put into operation. The doubt,
therefore, with regard to the attitude of the
president seems to be merely with regard to
terms and not to facts. it is certain that
those who pledged themselves two years ago
to protect the free men in the exercise of
their rights, and who have taken advantage
of opportunity to commit atrocious acts for
the purpose of gaining political control, will
soon have reason to think that the southern
policy of the administl'uti on has. been chang-
ed.— ll’usb. Special.
