B-Oyster-us Time at Wiimipauk.

Pennsylvania is a great State, great in area,
populatibu and material it must needs be to
be the home of. the Mollie Maguires and the
birthplace of such personages as George W.
Childs and Sallie Webb. We are fortunate
in having a Pennsylvanian dwelling among
us, and the Pennsylvanian is also fortunate
in finding such a place to reside in. None
can doubt either of the last two named fact 9.
Another fact, he is a man of gOOd judgment ;
this is evidenced by his selecting Winnipank
as his place of residence. There are other
reasons why his good judgment cannot-be
questioned, and one of which is he takes
kindly to Norwaik oysters, and has dccrded,
as thousands of others have decided before
him, that they are the best thus far created.
I said he took kindly to oysters; this is; a
mm. but not all of the fact. He takes
"muddy” to oysters; herein lies the burden
of my tale. It came to the ears of a cele-
brated Borough oyster eater, of Faistallian
proportions, who eats his favorite bivalves
fried, stewed, roasted, or in any other way
or manner that a good cook can prepare
them. His proportions admit, provided they
are cooked to suit, of the stowage of large
quantities. An epicure? Yes, have you
never seen him between the bar and cuisine
0f anoted Main street saloon,napkined to
the ears, dining on the luscious bivalve, and
beside his plate a “schooner” filled

“Wi’ reaming swats, that drank divinely,"
to see him thus is to see him happy.

"Kings may be blest, but Alf is glorious,
= ,0’ er a’ the ills 0’ life victorious."

Our Borough friend is patriotic, loves his
country dearly, but away down deep in
his heart is hidden 3 state pride, which, like
grandmother’s china ware, is only brought
out on rare occasions. The reports that
reached his cars of this Pennsylvanian,
stirred his ire, roused his energies, and
brought from the depths his state pride, and
the result was a challenge to the eater from
the land of “Penn,” to eat oysters from the
half shell—the one who “squaks” to pay for
the oysters. Keystone read the challenge,
and as the honor of his native State rested
on the result he felt the weight of the re.
sponsibility resting upon him. In the multi-
plicity of counsel there is wisdom, so he
thought, and he called to his counsel, his
friend Keith. “Eat,” said Brad, “why Camp
would eat you up twice and then call for a
peek of oysters.” Keystone looked wild,
sighed and gazed fondly at a basket of Ban-
dle's selected oysters, and retired to think
over the challenge. 'Do you remember the
Pennsylvania troops during our late unpleis-
antness? They never ran from» the rebs much
less from a square meal ; and will this stal-
wart son of Pennsylvania run from our Bor-
ough friend? guess not. When the match
takes place we will have a b-oyster-us time.
we will borrow the Borough Registrars, two
lightning openers, two men to shovel away
shells, and a reporter. Hurrah l

One of our new comers has set an example
worthy of imitation, and should put to shame
those whose business it is to attend to the
repairs of our public highways. On Saturday
morning a lone man With shovel and pick
was seen wendiug his way along Main Aven-

way was overflown with water, shoveling
away the sod and dirt, until every such place
was thoroughly drained. We know now who

Progress was made by our committee on
the amended charter. There is to be seventeen

member was quite docile, but did not “forget
to show his resentment to the other political
parties for defeating his candidates for, con-
stables, probate judge and state senator.
Neither could he refrain from referring to our

and then they had to ballot more than a score

lest the city representative should oppose the

Bridgeport has stirred up a sensation in
reference to the Stewart grave robbery. A
passenger on a night train passing through
that city on the 22d inst., overheard one man
tell another “If we don’t get what we want
out of the Stewart’s body We will kidnap
Mrs. Stewart and have a vessel ready to ran
her off so she can get no help.” They then
dropped the subject. He thinks they got,

Thanksgiving day renewed many old time
associations and broughtwith it pleasures

for a brilliant spread, but it ceased in time to
show their fears were ill founded. In most
of the churches, sermons having a bearing'on
national subjects were preached, but listen-
ers, as is always the case on such occasions,
were few‘. At Christ church, Rev. J. F. Pot-
ter, of New York, spoke of christian charity
as all powerful in healing dissensions, allud-
ing in a beautiful manner to the liberal and
disinterested acts of the people oi the North
in responding to the needs of the South dur-
ing the scourge which lately clothed that 10.
cality in mourning.

The same burglars who entered Mr.
Smyth’s house, reported in last week’s Gazette
broke into the houses of Mr. ’l‘readwcll .nd
Mr. Watts, the same evening. Nothing of
value was taken.

It is reported that the village merchant who
recently sent 315 in money, and checks
amounting to forty dollars, to a firm in New
York to pay for goods, has not heard from
the same. The money was placed in the
letter envelope at the post office in presence
of the postmaster.

Friday, Mr. Frederick Kemper. who lives
on the depot road, killed three hogs, aged
about thirteen months, which weighed when

large crowd of people were attracted by the
announcement that the shooting was to take

thus secured, and the boys acquitted them.

Obituary.

At Norwalk, Conn., October 2lst, aged 41
years, John Allmand, Esq, late of tile firm
of John Alimaud So Co , Yokohama, Japan.

To the older missionaries of Japan and
China the death of this humble yet noble
Christian and warm friend of missionaries
will be sad news.

As private secretary of Commodore Perry,
when he commanded the expedition that
made the mercantile treaty with_ Japan, Mr.
Allmand first went to that country.- Finding
there an excellent opening for business, Mr.
Ailmand resigned-his position and began busi-
ness at Yokohama. A thorough business
man, a gentleman of education and culture,
and above all a Christian, he soon won the
confidence not only of the foreigners, but
also of the natives, and even of the Japanese
government itself, some of its important
business transactions being done through Mr.
Alimand. Many a stranger in a strange land
found a'hospitable home under his-roof ; and
not a few needy ones have been gladdcned by
his quiet and.liberal bounty, while not a few
missionaries will hold the memory of John
Ailmand in grateful remembrance for his
warm—hearted acts of kindness to them.

Some years ago, having amassed a fortune,
he retired from business and returned to his
native country. During the into financial
crisis his generous heart prompted him to ad-
vance large sums of money to aid friends
who were embarrassed; and the result was
that his own ample fortune was lost in trying
to save his friends from failure. Thus reduc-
ed, his own health failing, and with.thc cer-
tainty that if he died a faithful wife and
loving children would be left penuiless, his
faith in his heavenly father did not fail. At
length, and after years of suffering, when

a prospect of better times to him, suddenly,
within an hour, by some probably hidden
disease of the brain, his life was ended.

The article on the South Carolina infamy
w ich we publish elsewhere is specially notc-
worthy in that it comes from the Washington
correspondent of the Herald, a journal that
has never been classed among the “stalwarts.”
Its calm, dispassionatc arraignment of W adc
Hampton cannot be sneercd aside. Com-
menting on the statements made by its cor-
respondent, the Herald says :

We call particular attention to the state-
ments relating to the disgraceful lunacy of

j Governor Hampton and the South Carolina
‘ democrats. The election laws of that State
have been deliberately altered with the inten-
5 tion of depriving the colored citizens of their
' right to vote.

The polling places in the
low country, where the negro population is
most concentrated, have been put at such
distances, and the hours of voting have been
so abridged, that it was impossible for the
colored vote to be polled. Besides this there
has been ballot—box stuffing and false count-
ing to an extent unparalleled since the over-
throw of the Tweed ring in New York.

But the most shameless thing of all is the
new method of bulldozing which has been
invented and put in practice in Virginia.

Instead of intimidating voters it has been

found easier to allow free access to the polls,

:falsify the result in the counting and then
Qbulldose the witnesses who offer to testify to

the facts. Prosecutions have been begun

against the ballot-box stuffers and the false
gcounters of votes, and thereupon the com-

plainants upon whose testimony the pro-
ceedings were instituted are caught up and

lodged in jail on accusations of perjury. If

the perpetrators of the frauds appear in
court to swear against the complainants there
will be false testimony enough to convict

them, and Virginia juries may find them

guilty and railroad them to the State prison.
The intention is to terrorize them against
testifying to the truth and thus defeat the
fprosecutions. If the facts'are truly stated
and justice is defeated and outraged in the
courts the indignant people of the North will
try to find some other remedy.
