to see some wonders accomplished in a short
time, for said court will by controlled by
the Greenback element. ' Perchancev Mr.

millfo Post Office was the scene of an ani-
mated political discussion on last Thursday4
evening, participated in, by Messrs. Baker
and Manson Democrats, and Messrs. Quinn
and T. W. Wood Republicans. The re-
publicans began and carried on the dis
cussion, as between the honor 'of the two
parties and which had accomplished the
most good for the country, and held right
to the ground. The Democrats found
themselves beaten at every pg'nt, and to
cover their retreat, one launched out with
the assertion that the “nigger was never
the white man’s equal,” which nobody claims
that he is as yet simply because he has
always been kept down by the white man,
but we claim that if the black man is given
achance, he can become as good acitizen
as a white man. The other Democrat
made the assertion that the Republicans
began the war, and that instead of sad-
dling awar debt of two billions of dollars
upon the country, the money had been
spent for internal improvements, every
man in the country might ere this have
had a free pass to travel to any part 'of
this country that he wished to. Such is
Democratic, argument and such iaDomo
cratic doctrine: sit still, do nothing, and
get rich. _ ' '

Our Bridgeport neighbors are quite ex-
cited iin consequence of the enforcement of
the “Sunday law” so-called, and a strict
enforcement of it would be good ‘for that
city—for of late years more liquid poison
(including everything from hard cider to
Jersey lighting) has been sold on the 'Sab-
bath day than on any other day of the
year. The liquor traffic in Bridgeport has
never been kept within bounds so well
before,or since as it was when P. T. Barnum
was that City’s Mayor.
On Thursday, December 19th, after a
long and painful illness Mrs. Daniel O‘Con-
ner died, leaving a family of five children
of whom the eldest is about fourteen years
of age. Mr. O’Conner has: the sympa-
thy of the entire community in his deep
affliction. .
Diptheria is quite prevalent among us,
Mr. L. A.- Harrison has lately lost two
children by it and Messrs. William Water-
house and John Rock each one, while
others are very low with the same disease.

ninety years old. _ _ _ , _
By the fall of a swmging stage, on Friday
afternoon, Orson P. Sanford, a_house painter,
received injuries that. caused his death early
in the evening.
A $50 gold medal has been presented to
to “Sport,” the money being raised by sub-
scription. - - .
The cemetery fair will be continued
through this evening (Tuesday). It isfprob-
ably the largest and best entertainment of the
kind ever held in this part of the State. It is
managed by the leading ladies'of the city, and
all classes of the community are deeply in-
terested. It is the all-absorbing object of in-
terest. Alarge number of valuable articles .
have been presented, and many articles too
valuable to dispose of in the usual way are
sold by ticket. To visit the fair and see the
crowds of elegantly dressed people in atten-
dance, the flashing of diamonds both sides of
the tables, the costly articles onsale, the ex-
cellent suppers and the numerous sideshows
one would think that the hard. times had
passed over Bridgeport, and that prosperity
ruled. _ ,

A committee of Norwalk batters composed

Going tollave a green Christmas after
all. _
Mr. Andrew Mills, an old residentfll‘hO
died December 14th, was buried Tuesday
17th, in Green’s Farm’s, 01d cemetery. The
religious ceremonies were conducted by the
Rév. Mr. Relyea.
Mr. Postmaster Nash has introduced one
huhrlred lock boxes into the post office.
For several days there has been quite a
scramble for possession of particular num-
bci-s. Hereafter we can present ourselves
in fpost oflice society with the proud, con-
sciousness of being as smart as Our neigh-
bors. Nolongcr need we be compelled to
loiter among the vulgar crowd while mails
are being distributed, thereby losing valua-
blaj time, but with stiff upper lip, and
private key in hand step up to headquarters
and help ourselves. ’
Liquor licenses having been granted to
eight applicants, the rum business in West-
port, to borrow the language of a well
known wit, is likely to_ be carried on with
“ardent spirit.” ‘ .5, -
Rev. Mr. I’ogsou delivered a forcible
temperance lecture in National Hall, Friday
evening, The house was full. It is said
many of the listeners prone to “tipping the
elbow,” have'given up 'drinking “in a great
measure." "

\Veather observers speak of the river
free of ice on this the 24th of December,
as something unprecedented. Not so!
Similar conditions appeared during the win-
vter of 1852 53 when navigation was not
blocked till after January; in 1863—04, when
it was scarcely interfered with at all, and
in 1868-69, when the first ice of any
considerable thickness formed on the night
of March 3d. There was a light fall of
snow at the time, and on the following
night a sleighing party journeyed pleasantly
to iGregory’s Point. Sandwiched between
the years nalned- there have been winters of
‘ great severity, notably that of 1874—75,
whim for weeks not 11- vessel passed through
the. sound—a circumstance — almost without
parallel. Two falls of snow melting away
moire rapidly than they came in 1878—79,
will be a mild one, but those who remember
theikind of weather preceeding the great
.Christmas snow storm of 70 years ago,
say: there is no dependence to be placed
on she promises of early winter mildness.
T'lihe following opinion of an old Shell‘-
fish; eater is worth remembering. “To
malie escallops, oysters or clams, taste
nat ral, they must be brought in contact
wit fire while cooking. Oven heat isn’t
wol h acent.” "
-S nday, Rev. Mr. YVilliams of Christ
Church announced that, the collection to
be t‘ken Christmas day would be devoted
to ioscesan missions. He also invited
the cholars, of his Sunday School to con--
trib’ te a portion of 'what they should get
ins cking or otherwise from their friend
“Santa Claus,” to charitable objects within
this arish. , '

Li ght evergreen dressing for Christmas in
the various churches will be the rule this
year. This is no reflection on the ardor of a
green committee 30 years ago who, under the.
lead bf one Dudley W. Bradley placed a
ton and a half of hemlock festoons in a church
which stands on a certain hill. Since that
time it has been an‘open question in church
circles as to which is the best indication of
appropriateness in the matter of cvrrgrecns as
emblems-equantity 0r quality. '-

Superintendent Downs got out his snow
plow, Saturday, when the storm was at its
height and cleared the horse railroad track of
snow. Time trips were thus made all day.
Like everybody else, Downs dreamed not of
warm night rains' than which ten thousand
snow plows are as naught.
A strange man with long yellow hair,seedy
garments and startling mien, took a seat in
Christ church near the centre door, Sunday
morning, No one knew him. He was at-
tentive to the services, praying when others
prayed, and singing also. In the Litany, his
“We beseech Thee,” etc., was marked, and

en property. The church enjoys the reputation
'of yearly performing much missionary work,

they are likely to do good, but it is not par

Letters from the People.
Enr'rons or GAZETTE:
In. one of_your late editions there was
a communication enquiring about the tremb-
ling and jarring of doors and. windows
caused as they supposed by the water fall-
ing over dams, and asking for some remedy.
'The jarring sound is caused by the vi-
bratory motion of the water striking against
the air between the falling water and the
face of the dam, oftimes it may be noticed
for half a mile or more; it can generally
be effectually stopped by placing a few
braces against the (lamfor the water to strike
against before reaching the water below
the dam. Yours &c.,

The U. S. Senatorslilp.
The Springfield Republican of Dec. 19th,
summarizes the political situation as follows:
The Connecticut. senatorial contest is re-
ported to be growin entertaining. Post-
master Sperry of ew Haven, leads the
Harrison forces, but is said to confess a for-
lorn hope, and to be meditating carrying his
followers. over‘ to Jewell, and on know-
nothing affiliations it is hoped also to rope in
the Miner vote for the genial governor.
Already the struggle is said by astute politi-
cal prophets over the border, to be narrowed
down to Platt, Hawley and Jewell. The last
named is credited with an effort to swing
Platt into his camp, thus arraying everything
against Hawley. And yet the general’s
friends do not by any means yield him beaten
in advance.
Neither Mr. Flatt nor his friends' have
heard of any proposition for a bargain, trade
or combination, from Mr, Jewell or any other
candidate. The supporters of Mr.‘Platt con-
fidently believe that he will be elected.—

Favored as I have been during the past
season with a fair share of the Lumber-Trade
in this and 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 Seasoned 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 manu-
facturers 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.

having on hand a sufllcient supply
While
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 shrink 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
fl
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 hone side, fifteen-sixteenths thick,
twelve to sixteen fcet.10ng. They are all
split from gang-sawed stock boards, are of
uniform widths, and for outside covering are
which, as a rule, have at‘least one sappy side.
I have, also, Two Hundred Thousand feet of
ten-inch Ottawa and Michigan 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. , V A
I have, also, a'full stock of Box Lumber,
both five and seven.eighths in thickness.
Ill Spruce I have five, six, and nine inch
boards, 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 SXSand -6x10.down to 2x3 in size, and
in length up to40 feet. My Timber is bright
and free from grit, beinag loaded .into vessels
direct from the steam mills below Bangor,
without rafting.
I sell Bangor Lath exclusively at the sonic
figures that Calais Lath 'are offered, thus fa;
voring the consumer from two to three cents
per bunch. If this is doubted by any one let
him conunlt any mason with any experience
whatever.
I also offer Blackwalnut, Ash, Whitevmod
Chestnut, Hemlock and Southern 'Pinc.
Also Sash, Doors, Blinds, Mouldings and
Ladders, Fence Rails, Pickets, Arbor Edits
and-Posts.
But more than all, I offer Two Hundred
