Congress.
The last session of the present Congress
commenced yesterday and will expire the
ltthof March, 1879. The session ought to
be occupied in perfecting and passing such
needed legislation as was left over from
last June. But it is to be feared that
merry public interests will be made to
suffer because of the introduction of new
partisan questions. The bulldozing of
colored voters of the south and the cipher
dispatches are very likely to prove achief
subject of excitement and absorbing much
of the brief and valuable time of the artis-
sion. The country could stand it quite
as well if no Congress were to convene.
A great hullabaloo has been' raised by rival
companies because ‘the New York Mutual
Life Insurance Company has seen fit to cut
down its rates to new policy takers. The
fact is that the public have thoroughly
learned the fact that life insurance rates are
too high in this country. Rates should come
came down and the insured should receive the
benefit of the excessive salaries and commts‘
sions of over-paid cfiicials and agents, and
we, as an all policy holder, thank the New
York Mutual for taking this honest stand.

Farmers’ Convention.
The winter meeting of the Board of Agri-
culture, Dec. 11th, 12th and l3lli, will flir-
Irish to our citizens a rare opportunity for
mprovemcnt. The importance of the sub-
jects discussed and the character of the lee—
turers, eminent both in scientific and practi-
cal attainments, should call Out a large at-
tendance.
The ball will be decorated with choice ex-
otics, and all our citizens are invited to con-
tribute both plants and fruits for the exhibi-
tion.
The visiting farmers should be so used by
the liberal citizens of Norwalk,that they will
receive a pleasant impression of our town,
and we should avail ourselves of the benfits
, Offered by a three days’ convention of so
many scientific and practical men. We refer
to the accompanying programme for list of
speakers and subjects, and will hereafter call
attention to them more in detail. A general
invitation is extended to all interested to at-

One of the most important uses to which
the modern electric light is likely to be
put, is as a danger signal for locomotives
and steamships. Had one been on the
Pommerania the collision and loss of life
in the English channel could not have
happened. This light penetrates a fog as no
other light will.

Lastwinter the Democrats of the House
refused to permit Eugene Hale to offer a
resolution ordering Potter’s committee to
investigate the Tilden cipher dispatch.
Next week there will be a struggle to pre-
vent Hale carrying the same motion, the
Democrats being anxious to initiate the
inevitable investigation themselves. Had
they taken the bull by the horns last winter
they might have saved their party much of
the odium it is now so anxious to escape.

Our Temperance friends occupying the
halls in the upper part of the Gazsr’ru BUILD
rxv. have been unnecessarily disturbed by the
jnlilng indulged in because the County Corn.
rnissioners met there and issued Licenses
therefrom. The Commissioners were the
‘ agents of the Law of the State and having
hired the rooms for the use of the Court of
Common Pleas, it was entirely proper and
appropriate, that they should hold their
sittings in the same place and no one with
a moity of sense will ever seriously criticise
or suspect our temperance friends of any
luck of fealty to their reform principles.
Their record is made on the License Ques-
tion, and it is no discredit to them that the
law of the land was simply legally cxccutcd.

rival at Cherbourg, France. He formerly re-
sided here but was last in tire employ of J as.

The Senatorsliip.
A highly valued correspondent gives us a
very cogent argument in:favor {of a larger-
infusion of business brain and experiences in
the counsels of the nation. Our correspond-
cnt’s chief point is well and ably fortified by
the quoted speech of Senator Bayard, of Del-
aware, himself one of the clearest headed and
best hearted men in the Senate.
That was a very peculiar sort of caucus
held by the workingmen-grcenbackcrs, Sat-
urday night, wasn‘t it? Twenty-one friends
of Hyatt and four of Morison’s convened and
by the major vote endorsed the Democratic
nominees. Then, as there was nothing else
to detain them, they adjourned, having done
what they met to do. A _few minutes later
some thirty or more of Morison’s friends
marched up, but as the lights were out, they
simply resolved they would all vote for Mori-
son and returned. Arid so these “homey-hand-
ed sons of toil” fixed up their ratifications
and- reconvened at the polls, each man voting
just about as he had a mind to, without ref-
erence to caucus actions.
Liability of“ Liquor Dealers
Bondsrncn.
The County Commissioners have obtained
the legal opinion of their attorney on the
question as to the full liability of a Liquor
Dealers Bondsman. The following is his
opinion :— ‘
For a breach of the bond by violating an
express provision thereof (as for selling to a
minor, selling on Sunday, &c.,) the whole
amount of the bond seems to us the only
amount contemplated. That is the agree-
ment and there is no other way of fixing on
the amount. L. D. BREWSTER.

Walking at South Norwalk.
Theodore Hartwick, lamp lighter in the
city has become ambitions to earn laurels as
a walkist and commenced a six days tramp
last Sunday night at 12 O‘clock. At 10

It is not thought that he will be able to hold

Thanksgiving afternoon Dr. Nolan and
John Hines, both happened to be driving on
West Avenue. The road was in good condi-
tion, and strangely enough they both hap-
pened to be coming up at the same time.
As usual the Dr. was in semen hat of a hurry,
and came along at a pretty fast gait. Some-
how, John arrivcd at the same time. Some-
thing seemed to have been forgotten, and
both started pell mell for the city again.
Finding no patient there, the Dr. turned
about and as his horse had got his blood up
he had no difficulty in beating horse car
time, but. strange to say John was right there.
So it went, up and down, and many watchers
became quite interested in the little practice.
But' the shrewd Doctor saw a patient ahead,
and patiently kept on the course, as a mat-
ter of course. Suddenly, on the way down,
there came a moment of too muclrpropin-
quity, and John res'gned his seat although
not at all resigned to his fate. Pallas was
against him, and he was fairly out on a fly,
while the horse kept on flying down the
street. The Doctor looked after his patient,
who was not seriously hurt, however, and
who was soon firmly seated in his slightly
damaged wagon, liomeward bound. He is a
plucky fellow, and next time the Doctor
rides on West Avenue he will probably be
there to see. .

Many of our readers will remember that
in the year 1873, the Steamboat Americas
while on her way to Norwalk ran over a
small propeller in Hell Gate, sinking her and
causing the loss of the life of the Engineer.
A suit was commenced by the Engineers
sister to recover $5,000 of the Neversink
Steamboat Company for the loss Of his life.
It came to trial two years ago and the jury
gave a verdict for $1,500. This was appeal-
ed and a new trial ordered which came off
last week, before Judge Barrett and a jury
in the Supreme Court New York City.
Messrs. Levi C. IIanford, W. T. Craw,
Chester F. Tolles, John H. Batterson, Wm.
H. Wilkins, and other citizens of Norwalk,
were among the twanty.five witnesses ex-
amined, occupying over three days of the
Court and resulting in a verdict of only one
hundred dollars for the plaintiff.

Belsliazzar Excursion to Dan-
bury.
For several weeks the ladies comprising
the management of the Soldier’s Monument
Society of Danbury have been diligently en-
gaged in the preparations for the spectacular
musical drama—Belshazzar, King of Babylon
—which is to be given there at th Opera
House, on Monday, Tuesday and \ ednes-
day, December 9th, 10th and 11th, under the
direction of the A. H. Ten Bronk of Boston.
Over one hundred of the best musicians of
Danbnry will take part. They have been
diligently engaged for nearly two months in
the preparations necessary to a successful
rendition of the work. We are happy to
know that they have succeeded admirably
and we are assured that these entertainments
will be superior to anything of the kind ever
given in this section Of the state. Arrange.
ments have been made with Superintendent
SandifOrth to run a special train to South
Norwalk, stopping at all points on the line,
after the entertainment, on Tuesday evening
December 10th. Round trip ticket entitling
the holder to admission to the Opera House
and reserved seat, will be sold at $1.25 from
either Norwalk or South Norvi'alk, good on
the train leaving South Norwalk at 6:24 and
Norwalk at 6:32. Returning arrives at South
Norwalk at 11:30. It is expected that alargc
number will attend from here and various

oughly interested in the work, and Belsliaz-
zar promises to be a grand success.

The site of” Portchcster, N. Y., reputed to
be worth $4,000,000 or 10,000,000, is to be
contested in the courts by the heirs of Roger
Merritt, a revolutionary soldier. Collector
Merritt of New York is one of these heirs,
and the property is claimed on the strength of
a recently expired lease, which Roger execut-
ed for 99 years when Westchester county was
ravaged by “Skinners” and “Cow-boys.”
The lease was lost years ago, and the copy of
it cut out of the county records, but old citi-
zens remember its terms, one Of them having
copied it, and on the strength of their testi-
mony an effort. is to be made to eject the oc‘
cupants of the property.

' The Verdict.
The day broke in upon us with a drench-
ing rain, which of course, revived the hearts
of' the enemy and correspondingly dispiritcd
our friends, under the impulse of the old
maxim, a rainy day ensures a democratic
victory. But the “old guard" were out, and
never was more earnest work done than in
our Boro’ election. Many felt indifierent as
to the head of the ticket, claiming that in
either case the public interests would be
secure. It is a triumph for Mr. Morison of
which he may well be proud,as his old party,
rank and file, made a bitter and relentless
war against him. But he had the best ele-
ments of both parties on his, side and so won
a majority overthc democrats strongest can

President’s Message.
The message of President Hayes appeared
'in last night’s New York papers. Seldom
have so many and so complete State papers
from the several departments been ready to
submit to Congress at it’s first day’s session.
Some of the democracy of the baser sort
not liking our Republican victory pitched
into two “colored friends and brothers"—
Thompson and Willfams—because they
were Illiorison men. There were five or
six Patricks soon measuring their lengths
in the mud and when they picked them-
selves up it was noticed their eyes bore
the same sable hues, as the boys they had
mistakenly assaulted. Next time boys,
better ascertain whether the darkey does
not carry to heavy guns for you.

“Hold the Fort.”
The Norwalk Gazette says:
“The Gazette is the only newspaper printed
in the Borough of Norwalk.”
That is true, but step half an inch beyond
the Borough borders and one will find papers
enough to stock a variety newspaper store.
Byington holds the Borough as his fort
against all assailants and he holds it serenely
and smilingly as though the turmoil among
his competitors nmuses but does not alarm
him, and each Tuesday morning he sends out
the old Gazette to its crowd of firm holding
subscribers. Long may he lidd the fort.—

New YORK, Dec. 15th, 1876.
Gentlemen : Permit me to add my testimo-
nial to the eflicacy of the "Blanchard Blood
and Nerve Food," as by its use, during the
summer and fall just passed, -I have fully
recovered my health, after eight years of
intense suffering from nervous prostration,
and the many attending derangements of my
whole physical and mental systems. The
Tonic Extract has done for me that which
many of the best physicians of this country
and Europe failed to accom lislr.
Yours truly, ‘Mrs. \ .K BARLOW.

The New Haven and Derby road held its
annual meeting in New Haven, Tuesday.
There has been a steady increase in the carn-

$60,473 38, and the income above these ex-
penses $41,639.18.
Someshar politicians are predicting that
Grant and B-aine will be the leading candl-

no mistake in electing either one—New York

The Pennsylvania democrats, having got
beaten, are charging each other with the re-

inaugurated by the Pittsburg Post, a leading
organ, against Senator Wallace. The Repub-

The Senator-ship.
Messrs. Enn‘ons;
The election recently held, in this State,
having devolved upon the Legislature which
meets in Jan. 7th 1879, the election Ofa
“Senator of the United States” to succeed
the Hon. Wm. H. Barnum, it seems a proper
time to consider who now constitute that
body, and the peculiar situation of national
affairs, with reference to the requirements
of the times, and the selection of a suitable
candidate for the office.‘ The present
Senate of the United States consists of fifty-
five lawyers, three physicians, three bankers,
two, each, editors and merchants, one manu—
facturer (Senator Barnum.) and five of
various occupations, The general and long
continued depression in all branches of what
is generally denominated business, in all
sections of the country, the paucity of busi-
ness men in the Senate of the United States,
the superabundancc of the most eminent
legal talent in that body, clearly indicates
the direction which the choice of a candidate
should take. From want -of the Pl'Ol’Cl'
material, some of the most important com-
mittees of the Senate, having direct reference
to business matters are composed exclusively
of lawyers. This fact is sincerely regretted
by many of the most eminent Senators, who
are members of the legal profession, several
of whom have taken occasion to express pub-
licly their opinion on this subject, notably
so, Senator Bayard of, Delaware, in an ad-
mirable and valuable address, delivered at
the Maryland Agricultural and Mechanical
Fair, held at Pemlico, Sept. 20th, 1878, where
he used the following language:
“Here in America, the theory and system
of our Government being popular, and
framed upon the distribution of limited
powers to numerbus andindependcnt agents,
every representative body—the houses of
Ctngress, the State Lc'glslatures, the County
Commissioners, the City Councils—becomes
a parliament, the very meaning of which
word, “to speaking body," will throw some
light u on an important question often
asked: by are our Legislatures, State and
Federal, composed so largely. of members of
the legal profession? Why does that pro-
fession contribute so largely in filling the
chief offices of the Government? Independ-
ent of the fact that ours was intended to be
a Government of laws, and not. of the mere
will of rulers, and that the class of citizens
who make laws their especial study will
naturally be called upon to frame and ex-
ecute them, and that men “learned in the
law" must of necessity, alone, compose the
judical branch of the Government, to whom
is confided the interpretation of laws, there
can be no doubt that lawyers are often chosen
as legislators, chiefly because they can dis.
cuss questions, and thus Parliament is held,
and the rewards of distinction and power are
most easily accessible to members of the
talking profession. A bad result of this is
the overcrowding of the legal profession and
ofliciiil places by the sons of ambitious par-
ents, or by the ambitious sons of modest
parents, to the exclusion of other classes and
professions, and frequently, as it seems to
me, to the detriment of the community. It
has frequently been observed that the minds
of lawyers are too much disposed to techni-
cality and lock that breadth of view which is
one of the best qualities in legislation, which
is intended to be the stable rule of society,
equal in all its applications to all men, of
every occupation or pursuit, of every grade
of intellectual faculty. In England, from
which country our institutions of govern.
ment are chiefly copied, it has been often
noted that men distinguished at the Bar had
failed to maintain their reputation in the
halls of legislation. and those whose impress
as leaders has been most indelibly and
favorably made upon their country’s Govern-
ment have been men whose minds were
freed from the mere technical education in a
single professional pursuit. Therefore,“ is
that I would rejoice to see astronger infusion
of the intellect of leading men in the agricul-
tural and mechanical pursuits in those repre-
sentative bodies by whom our laws are
molded, and who should therefore be pre-
pared and equipped for such duties bya
greater amount of general culture and ac-
quiroment than is usual, and let me add,
should enlarge their studies of government
and laws, and bestow a larger portion of
their time and thoughts to the details and
practical conduct of political affairs."
Outside Of the legal profession, (whose
excellence is unhcsitatingly admitted) Con-
necticut has abundant material to suitably
represent her varicose into-writs in the senate
or Inc United States. Her clergy and men
of classical and scientific attainments, are
the peers of the best and highest in‘the land.
Her Farmers, have among them, many clear-
hcaded well read men, close observers of the
“signs of the times." Her Merchants are
among the “princes," in_intclligence, capacity,
probity. And among her Manufacturers,
are many thoroughly conversant with the
business interests of the country, in ‘all their
relations to its internal and foreign corn-
mcrce. In view of these facts.ch us hope
that a wise discretion and discrimination
will guide the members of the Legislature
to a selection which-will reflect honor upon
the State, and be a step toward a move for
equal representation in the Senate of the
United States, of the general interests of the
country. Hicnwoon.
_ ' The phrase “Senator of the United States."
is purposely used because it indicates the pecu-
liar representative character of the Senate, its
hold by the framers of the Constitution. whose
Views were more fully expressed in their private
correspondence, than in the public debates, at the
time of the adoption of that instrument.
Some wretched “scribblers” to the con-
trary notwrthstanding Governors Hawley and
Jewell love each other like brothers. SO
says the Cour-(rm, and the Post heartily en-
dorses the sentiment. This is very sweet.
A Hartford correspondent of the Spring-
field Republican says the subject of winter
sessions of the general assembly is being
more or less discussed, and the change does
not appear to be popular. The farmers “say
that winter is the tirrrc when they dismiss
their ‘hclp' and do their own work, and that
it is the worst of all seasons for them to be
absent in. Nobody likes the cold weather
as well for traveling, which is a large part of
our legislative duties; and then the winter
has put an end to "lection day,’ which was
an important institution. Altogether there
is quite a reaction in favor of the spring
meetings.” Perhaps after another session or
two the farmers will come to like Hartford
better as a winter residence. They would
enjoy New Haven greatly.
Gen. Hawley for Senator.
The press the State over has almost ex-
ploded in its individual opinions on this
topic. The people are .already wise as to
what they ought to do, and the General
himself Will not fail at all on knowing his
place, if suggestion can show it. Let our
modesty see if it can crowd in one com-
mon sense suggestion among all the oth-
ers. As. to Gen, I-Iawley’s fitness for the
position, not a word need be said. He is
of our able, taking. public men, about
the man. Prompt, energetic, his talent
always at command, his experience al-
ready notable for his years, he would hon-
or that or any other position as well as, or
better. than, most. But what of that?
That is not the question, but another is,
and that other we think should decideit,
Who will fill his already assigned posi-
tion ? Hoo opus. his labor-eat. Will itbea
Republican? Assures us of that, and then
Hawley for the other. But—but—and
common sense says (in our poor and hum—
ble judgement) that, that isa but, and a
big one too. Gen. Hawley needs no honor
from us. Himself is honor! But, but
General you know that but is ».a big one;
and (In our poor judgment again,) the
country wants you where you are, and (in
our humble judgment still again), it is the
best position of the two. Some time the
State Will give you the other, but now the
lower [louse can trumpet yournarne farth-
est—Derby Transcript.
The editor of the Norwich Bulletin got
up from his Thanksgiving dinner, and in
that condition of supreme satisfaction with
himself .and the world at large natural at
such a time, wrote a column and a half
editorial which he was pleased to entitle
“Some reasons why ex Governor Jewell
should be elected Senator." We have read
It carefully and must acknowledge that we
are not fully convinced. In the course of
his first column the editor refers to the can-
didacy of General Hawley as being merely
“the thought of enemies or bi hly enthusi-
astic friends" and passes on to tIic following
concerning the candidacy of Hon. II. B.
Harrison: “IIc_is well known, is an able
lawyer, .possessrng a spotless reputation
and a. Wide knowledge of public affairs;
while it must be added in justice to New
Haven, slip has been withou representation
in the national Senate, except a few months
during which Governor English completed
the expired term of Senator Ferry, for
thirty years. This fact is deserving of
serious consideration; and if all the candi-
dates possesscd equal merit then this fact
should turn the ‘scale in favor of Mr.
Harrison." Holding this ground the Bulle-
tin man left a serious break in the chain of
his reasoning by not showing in what re-
spcet the lion. Henry B. Harrison lacks
the merit that other candidates posses—'-

A few Words about Dr. Dav/Id Kennedy
Taken from the Ronclout N. Y., Daily Freeman:
“While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an ex-
cellent physician, and discovered the most valua-
ble medicine ever offered to an afilicted ublic it
must not be forgotten that he deservedly stands
sccorrd_to none in this country as a surgeon.”
For instance we would cite the case of Mr.
Abram Elsworth, of Port Ewen. Ulster 00., N.Y.,
who had sutlcred more than 'rwnx'rx years from
the pain incident to a disease involving the great-
crportion of the left thigh bone, and during all
this time he had been kept ln_blissf‘ul ignorance,
by the many doctors who had treatedhim, of the
real cause ol‘his suffering. He often expressed
to the author 01‘ this article that he had not ex-
erienced the pleasure of‘one whole night’s sleep
in twenty years. Although a cripple, and suffer-
ing pain and inconvenience of carrying an almost
useless limb, he has acquired a competency far
beyond what mOst men would have done under
similarcrrcunrstanees. Mr.Elsworth was induced
to consult Dr. hennedy, who at once realized the
Situation, and plainly and frankly told the suffer-
er that the disease had so for advanced that noth-
ing was left lorhrm to do but submit to amputation
of the leg. Consequently on the 15th of May. 1811.
m presence of, _and assisted by several medical
gentlemen, DrJtcnnedy amputated the leg. about
three inches below the hip joint. The bone was
found to be perfectly rotten from end to the other.
and thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kenn euy’a
dlawiiosiafl Mr. Elsyvorth made It rapid recovery.
iilnditglemains to this day the perfect picture of
ca . -
Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the
happy result of this and other cases of a similar
character, was due. to the use of the Favorite
Remedy. It was this medicine that purified the
Blood. It was this that regulated the Liver and
Kidneys. and thus gave tone and strength to the
system which had become debilitated by the dis-
ease, and in this way prevented a return of the
disease which necessitated so dangerous an op~
oration.

Mnssns. Enrrors :—
Favored as I have been during the past
‘ season with a fair share of the Lumber Trade
in this anti the neighboring towns, and be-
lieving that much of that trade has been due
to my having on hand at all times, a large
and well assorted stock of Saasoncd Lumber
of the different kinds and qualities used here;
and, furthermore. believing that in order to
sell anything it is necessary to inform the
public that it is kept for sale, I take great
pleasure in announcing that I am provided
with what I candidly believe to be the Largest
and Best assorted Stock of Lumber ever in
this market. Buying direct from the mantr-
facturcrs and shipping entirely by water, I am
able to offer much more favorable prices to
my customers than if purchasing in smaller
lots and paying railroad freight upon them.
While having on hand a sufficient supply
of Rough Lumber to meet the wants of the
trade in that respect, experience has proved
that Dry Dressed Lumber, properly taken
care of, will slrrink much less than Dry Lum-
ber newly dressed thus exposing a new sur-
face to the atmosphere. I have, therefore,
aimed as far as possible at purchasing Dry
Lumber, having the same dressed at the best
mills in the country, and then re-piling it
here with lath in alternate courses, until fit
for use.
In the line of Barn Covering and House
Flooring, where, a few years ago, ten and
twelve inch boards were used almost exclus-
ively, latterly the demand has been for five
and six inch. Of thisI have to offer One
Hundred and Fifty Thousand feet, mostly of
the cut of 1877, tongued and grooved, and
surfaced one side, fiftccnsixtecntbs thick,
twelve to sixteen feet long. They are all
split from gang-sawed stock boards, are of
uniform widths, and for outside covering are
much preferable to that made from strips,
I have, also, Two Hundred Thousand feet of
ten-inch Ottawa and Miclrigau gang sawed
boards, tongued and. grooved, planed both
one and two sides.
In Finishing Lumber I offer of stock boards
, from two to eighteen inches in width; also,
.of promiscuous widths, planed both sides and
dry.
I have, also, a full stock Of Box Lumber,
both five and seven-cightlrs in thickness.
In Spruce I have five, six, and nine inch
hoards, five, six, and nine inch planks, and
nine inch barn floor plank—a choice lot and
at very low figures.
In Timber I offer the best Bangor Spruce,
from 8x8 and 6x10 down to 2x3 in size, and
in length up t040 feet. My Timber is bright
and free from grit, being loaded into vessels
direct from the steam mills below Bangor,
without rafting.
I sell Bangor Lalli exclusively at the some
figures that Calais Lath are offered, thus fa-
voring the consumer from two to three cents
per bunch. If this is doubled by any one let
him consult any mason with any experience
whatever.
I also offer Blackwalnut, Ash, Whitewood,
Chestnut, Hemlock and Southern Pine.
Also Sash, Doors, Blinds, Mouldings and
Ladders, Fence Rails, Piekets, Arbor Slals
and Pests.
But more than all, I offer Two Hundred
Thousand “Climax” Sawed Shingle, manu-
factured by A. W. Wright, Saginaw, Michi-
gan. Seven Hundred and Twenty Thou-
sand XXX, W. II. E. A: 00., Sawcd Shingle,
from East Saginaw, Michigan. ' Two llurr-
(lICtl Thousand XX, of the same manufacture.
Sixty Thousand C: SEW. Sawed Shingle
from Standish, Michigan, and Three IIun-
tired and Fifty Thousand of the Oscar Fcnn
Parallel Pinned Shingle. Also, rived and
shaved Pine and Cedar Shingle.
I will sell any or all of this stock of Lum-
ber as low as it can be afforded with profit
to myself and a guarantee of quality and. an
honest measurement to the buyer. I will de
liver the same in good condition, by rail or '
team, at short notice.
