All Hail Ohio!
A grand ground swell comes welling up
from Ohio to the tune of 20,000 majority for
the Republican cause. - The Republicans also
carry the Legisltture and retire Senator
Thurman. . g ‘ ‘
Iowa goes Republican by over 30,000, also.
Now for-the: great State of Neerork.

Now for Connecticut.
It is well understood that our Democratic
friends are making concerted efforts to carry
all doubtful towns this fall, hoping thereby
' to secure the Legislature and thus tinker our
election laws so as to prevent the possibility
of a Republican victory in Connecticut in
ISSO—Au U. S. Senator in place of Mr.
Eat in, and the Presidential Electors hinge in
our opponents’ View, on our Representative
election this iail. Let every Republican
arouse and send back Connecticut's greeting
t i our victorious friends in Ohio and Iowa.
Espectially let the close towns be thoroughly
canvassed and our full vote he brought out.
(Norwrch Bulletin.] -
It only remains now for the Repulicans of
Connecticut to complete the work. of making
a solid North. Connecticut is still a doubt
fill State; and the party of the Confederate
brigadiers are making a. thorough .and ener-
getic fight for the Legislature this fall, and
hope to boast of their Victory to the whole
nation. They can be defeated as effectively
as they were in Ohio, and the little Nutmeg
State can be kept in line with the bigger
. states in the loyal North. The only question
now is will the Rv publicans of Connecticut
allow themselves to be. outdone by these
western brethren?
[Hartford Post]
At the present moment the Democrats are
making a bold and desperate push for the
recovery of the Legislature,and With the apa-
illy of the Republicans their chances are by
no means unpromising. If they can restore
“certificate voting” or break one or two
other holds in the registry law they are sure
of the State in 1850. They are workingvun-
der the direction of Ex-Senator Barnum,
chairman of the National Democratic _Com-
mittee, the close personal friend .of Tilden,
who lfas a personal stake in the result. " Mr.
Barnum will see that the “closetowns are
carefully looked after, and With the success
which attended their fight against biennial
sessions, they will hope to carry the State by
surprise. Thus far the. Republicans are
strangely inactive, and apparently blind to
the danger which confronts them.

N ew. Vote".
On Wednesday the SeleCtmen will hold
their first meeting for the admission of new
voters, at their office in the Savings Bank
building. ‘ _' -
On Thursday they hold a session in the city
Council Rooms. ,
Next week Monday they will hold their
last session. _ .
They will consider only the applications
of persons already registered to be made. No
others need apply.
Men who have ever voted in town before,
however, can have their names restored to
the Voting List by applying to the Regis—
trars, who will holda public session next
Thursday, at the Town Clerk‘s Oflicc. If
not convenient to attend the session they
can see the Registrars at their usual places
of business previous to that time and submit
their claims.
Beatty Bros.
All sorts of rumors are afloat in conse-
quence of an attachment served last week by
E. A. Woodward upon the properties and cf.
fects of the Beatty Bros’ Straw Hat Factory.
The ostensible cause is claimed to be a differ-
ence between the parties as to the settlement
of certain accounts, extending back to and
through the period of Mr. Woodward’s
fugitive absence. The cause of action is
directed specially towards Mr. John P. Beat-
ty, the senior of the firm, who Mr.’ Wood-
ward claims collected vast sums of his
money during his absence, and additionally
thereto the Norwalk firm guaranteed a loan
of $75,000 from Woodward to the New York
house of Vandcrhoef & Beatty,. of .which
John only was a member, and which subse-
quently failed. Mr. Beatty,it is understood,
claims an offset in consequence of the hope-
less bankruptcy of the New York firm, and
also because of extraordinary and almost
incessant personal services rendered Mr.
Woodward in his absence from‘ the country.
The rumors that the personal effects of the
Beattys have been attached is untrue, and
other statements as to Mr. W's motives, and
still more improbable‘and unworthy, are also
denied by Mr. W’s friends. Outside the
legitimate public interest in the great manu—
factory,as one of our town’s most impor—
' taut factors in the waypf its local prosperity,
this is a purely private quarrel with which
no one has any right to meddle. This con-
cern has paid out here for labor alone. in the
. past few years an amount aggregating more
thana million of dollars. Not anticipating
any difliculty with Mr. W. it was the pur-
pose of the firm to have commenced their
next season’s work the present week, and
their large corps of Workmen €111th whole
town willhe most disastrously affected by
this trouble which now indefinitely postpones
operations.
The Beattys made Mr. W. a proposition of
settlement which he declined,and Mr. Wood-
Ward has submitted the firm his ultimatum,
which it is feared they cannot accept.
Meantime a large rival conccrn‘ healing of
their misfortunes has stepped in land made
the Beattys a very tempting offer to aban—
don their Norwalk factory and remove else—
where. Such a result would be a serious loss
to Norwalk, and indeed, would be looked
upon as little less than a public calamity.
We know we voice the universal wish of this
community when we express the hope that
Mr. WoOdward will avoid bringing upon
himself the odium of driving from Norwalk
these three most worthy business men. -

The New Hotel.
Eli-Mayor Ely’s new Hotel already as-
siih‘ies very imposing proportions, but two
stories above the store fronts, already show
how faulty its architectural design will ap-
pear unless the building is surmounted with
‘ a French or Mansard roof. Its. ext ended
street line, with a simple flat roof, will ruin
the whole effect of the otherwise noble struc-
ture, and give it a decidedly squatty appear-
once.
Some time since we suggested several good
names for the new edifice. Among others
that of One House. This was suggested be-
cause of the Mayor's well known desire to
give his house some characterization connect-
ed with the colonial or Revolutionary history
of our town, and also because of the recent
and peculiar manifestations of affection for
the colored race by the leaders of Connecti—
cut Democracy. We now lenrn that Mayor
Ely prefers some old Indian name, at once
euphonious and heroic. In our research we
have found it. It is “One—onto," the name
of a chief of the old Susquehanna tribe of
nboriginees. What name would sound more
poetically or look better swinging from a
towering sign 'crane tinn the

Death of Stephen Smith.
The decease of Judge Slum, although not
unexpected at any time, for months past
was nevertheless a painful shock to his many
friends, 0 speciall of the older of our citi
zens. Mr. Smith ad been in many respects
a remarkable personage. Always public
s piritcd and always keenly alive to whatever
should confers benefit on this his native
town, he occupied for many years an ex.
ceptionally conspicuous place in our town
affairs. For-nearly forty years he carried
on the fur hat manufacturing business near
his last residence where he has lived over
sixty years, and reared afamily of three
daughters and four sons. He filled success-
ivcly the offices of Judge of Probate and
Postmaster, and Director in our Saving’s
Bank. He was formerly an active Mason
and a Past Master of St. John’s Lodge. He
was a director in the Stamford Bank for
upwards of forty years. He was a member
of St. Paul’s Church, and at one time the
accidental owner of this paper. He had a
fine, quaint humor and used to delight us
frequently in relating his grotesque exper-
iences in endeavoring to make his patrons
“pay up.” Nearly all the men who commcc-
ed life with him 1 goilc long before him,
to the beyond. all of years and ripe in
the esteem of his feiIOWomen, his long race
ends, leaving behind him a wife who has
forzsixty-three years blessed his home, with
children and children’s childrenjto rise up
and call his memory blessed. His funeral
took place yesterday p. m. from St. Paul’s
church.
Death of Ezra Curtis.
Our community was deeply pained by the
announcement, last Friday, of the death, at
Bridgeport, of our former townsman. EZRA
CURTIS, Esq. Mr. Curtis came to Norwalk
in 1868 and purchased the “Blue Mountain
Farm,” previously the residence ‘ Flavius
Clark. He continued to reside here 'until
1872, when complications in the large busi-
ness he had left behind him at Bridgeport
forced his return to that city. While a resi-
dent here he took an enterprising citizen’s
pride in the growth and prosperity of the
place, and with Mr. Jacob Weeks purchased
the Norwalk Hotel property of the heirs of
David Stevenson, an interest in the‘uusold
portions of which he still held at the time of
his death. Mr. Curtis was always a modest,
affable and winning gentleman. To know
him was to respect and love him for his
manly virtues. Peace to his ashes.
The following, which we copy from last
Friday’s Standard, shows the respect and
esteem in which he was held in Bridgeport
where he resided the greater part of his life:
We are called upon to day to chronicle
the death of another of Bridgeport’s most re-
specte’d citizens, Mr. Ezra Curtis,who passed
away this morning at ten O’clock, at his resi-
dence on Park avenue after an illness of about
_tbree weeks. The nature of his disease was
said to he typhoid-pneumonia. Mr. Curtis
wasa member of the well—known firm of Lyon
Curtis & 00., lumber merchants. He was
born in Monroe, and went to New Haven
when a young man and entered into the ser-
vice of Mr. Asa L. Lyon in that city. Sub-'
sequently Mr. Lyon disposed of his business
there and removed to Bridgeport. Mr. Cur-
tis came with him and they started a plaining
mill under the partnership name of Lyon &
Curtis, doing business on the site occupied
by the present firm, east of the Housatonic
railroad and south of east Washington avenue:
The wharf was then and for many years
known as Simons’ wharf. For thirty-four
years Mr. Curtishas been doing business at
this place, and save a residenc of four years
in Norwalk, 1868-1872, has always lived
here. His partner, Mr. Lyon, died a num-
ber of years ago. Mr.Curtis was twice mar-
ried. His first wife was a sister of Mr.
Lyon. She died after a long and painful
illness, leaving no children. His second
wife (formerly Miss Mary Eils of Norwalk)
survives him. He also leaves one son eight
years old, and an adopted daughter now the
wife of Mr. Charles S. Prowitt of Norwalk.
During his long business career in this city,
he bore himself an honest upright man, and
a conscientious christian citizen. He was a
member of the First Baptist church and for
a long time was one of the deacons of that
body. Previous to the breaking out of the
late civil war, Mr. Curtis was a democrat,
but since then he has been identified with
the republican party. Though never an
office seeker, and rarely taking any promi-
nent art in olitics ct. he alw bad the
gmdpof a... Buuutry’r yat heart. RYE: believe
he has served the city in the Common Coun—
cil, and has also held the office of Justice of
the Peace. His death wibbe a shock to the
many friends for whom he had warm per-
sonal afiection. He was conscious almost
to the last, and this morning a few hours
before his decease, spoke with the surviving
partner Mr. C. A. Grannis in regard to their
business relations.
unless Otherwise specified in Mr. Curtis’
will, the firm of Lyon, Curtis & Co., will be
continued two years from next spring, Mr.
Lyon's estate and Mr. Curtis’ estate being
associated with Mr. Grannis. Mr. Curtis
was sixty-six years old. The funeral
will take place from his late residence on
Park Avenue at two o’clock Monday after—
noon.
Dcath ofa Noted Iii—vine.
At the family residence,Hopkinsviile, Ky.,
Sept. 30th,1879, in his 79th year, the Rev.
Gideon B. Perry, D. D. L. L. D, late rector
of Grace Episcopal Church in that city; for-
merly rector of Trinity Church, Natchez,
Miss.,, first rector St Paul's, Cleveland,'0hio ;
for some time at Grace Church there. and
founder of St. James’ Parish, Cleveland,also.
The Rev. Dr. Perry was the last surviving
kinsnlan cotemporary of Commodore Oliver
Hazard Perry, the heer the battle of Lake
Erie. Both were natives of South Kingston,
Rhode Island,aud born under the same roof ;
the Rev. Dr. on Oct. 12th, 1800, some years
junior of the, other. Dr. Perry for more than
fifty—seven years in the Christian Ministry,
was a prominent divine of the Church, and
stOod high, especially for force and pulpit
eloquence. The Rev. Henry G. Perry, of the
Episcopal City Clergy, Chicago, is a son of
the deceased. The Rev. Dr. Perry leaves a
family, his-widow and three children surviv-
him. Dr. Perry ministered in New England
at an early day, and is remembered by many
of our oldest citizen’s of this community.
Prison Labor.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax was inVited to address
an Agricultural Fair in Iowa, a few days
since, when some one called him out on the
question of States Prison Labor and request-
ed his views. We publish the essential por-
tions of his remarks on our outside to-day,
and we are sure that every man interested in
the labor questions of the day,will read them
with interest and profit. These remarks will
arrest the attention ofrall laboring men for it
is a subject of vital importance‘to them, as
well as to their employers. Mr.-Colfax takes
the correct ground that no state has any right
to hire out the labor of its convicts at ruin-
ously low prices and thus bring them into
direct competition with the laboring classes
and thereby cut down the wages of honest
workingmen. This is now one of the great
causes of the low price of labor in certain
departments of manufacture. The manufac-
turers of hats, boots and shoes, chairs, wag-
ons, and many other industries are brought
in direct competition with the same goods
turned ‘cut by prison labor, and must get
their work done cheaper to be successful in
competing or go to the wall. We commend
Mr. Colfax’s remarks to the attention of
every laboring man and manufacturer.

Fire Department Parade.
The annual parade of our Borough Fire
Department will take place on Wednesday
afternoon. There have been so many
parades this year, that our boys have con-
cluded to forego their usual splurge,altbougb
they were the first to inaugurate these
parades in this vicinity and have' kept them
up for a series of years, something which no
other department has done around here and
this year there will simply be a parade and
inspection of our own home companies, with
music by Wheeler 8:. Wilson ~Band. It is
hoped the boys will have a good time.
LINE or MARCH.
The line will form at 2 o'clock at Union
Park where after inspection will march

The October Meeting.
The experiment of holding a “Fall Meet-
ing" on the Fair grounds, under the auspices
of the Gentiemen's Driving Association
seems to bava been reasonably suCcessful.
The weather was mild and delightful, and
the attendance was quite as large as could
have been expected. On Wednesday morn-
Wg. Messrs. Frank Burritt, C. Hendrie,M.‘
Ketchum, Jr., S. B. Wheeler and C. J.
Ketcbum contested the shooting match for
the champion. badge—Frank Burritt win-
ning by a score of 45 to 41 by Wheeler.
In the afternoon the firq race—free for all
horses owned in the county three months,
—-was won by Ike Lee’s b. m. Helen; time
2:36, 2:37 and 2:36. Four contestants.
Three Stallions contested the next race,
which was won by A. Sherwood’s “Abdallah
Burco."
Ike Lee's Helen also won the association
race, there being four contestants.
The racing was renewed on Thursday, and
finished up on Friday. On Thursday Mr.
Woodward’s "Hattie" was exhibited, and
the time is reported as 2:24 and a fraction
for the first mile and 2:25 for second mile.
In the leading race, it is said the drivers
did not exert themselves to get the best
speed out of their horses. There L. H.
Hard, of Carmel, N. Y., won first prize
with his “M. R. Average time about 2:34;
three in five.
The Burglar-s.
In the search for burglars-our police have
picked up some half a dozen white and black
sneak thieves. Three of these have been sent
to Bridgeport and will be tried next Thursday:
Another was wanted in New Haven and :
surrendered to the Elm city authorities. One
of the theives, named Lyon, confessed having
stolen the coat from Mr. Bishop’s hallway and
the silk saque from the daughter of mayor
Quintard. He also was the thief who “lift-
ed” the bag of chestnuts from the country-
man’s wagon in Water street and was so hotly
pursued by ofiicer Jones. An attempt was
made to enter St. Paul’s parsonage, last Mon-
day night, but failed; and one other unsuc-
cessful effort to burglarize a house is also re—
ported. The “professionals" were “working”
Fairfild and Southport, last week. Oficer
Jones is eniftled to especial credit for his
zeal in ferreting out these scamps, and officers
Darin, Sullivan and others are also tgbe com-
mended for their vigilant efforts in the same
direction.

Several of the wealthy friends of Dr.
Barbour, learning that his health had not
become fully restored, but that he felt the
necessity of returning home and resuming
practice, sent him a draft for a thousand
dollars, with the admonition that he remain
until recovered, and if required, more
“material old” would be forwarded. Such
friends are worth having.

opinion of a case upon which he is sitting)
will be admonished not to expose the crimi-

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTER.
‘Charles Bellhas returned home from the
West after an absence of three weeks. Char-1y
says the West may be a. good place to locate,
but he prefers to remain in South Norwalk.
Mrs. George W. Da died on Saturday of
consumption. Mrs. ayhad been sick for a
long time and had suffered very much. Mr.
Day has the sympathy of this community in
his bereavement. '
Irving Dibble has returned from his wed-
ding trip. Hc will shortly occupy his new
hoase on Haviland street.
Mrs. Jane Flynn has returned home from
her western trip, where she went in search of
health. She has been to Revenna. Ohio, and
has spent most of the time with Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Stiles, well-known in this city. Mrs.
Flynn returns with improved health, and, at
the same time, mother of the next mayor.
Mr. A. S. Hein will open the store former—
ly occupied by E. Beard, on Saturday night
next with an elegant line of gent's furnishing
goods. Mr. Hein is a young man well-known
in this community and is well liked, and we
predict for him a successful business career.
The comet in the choir of the Methodist
church, adds considerably to it. Mr. Hatch
always has good music and works hard to ac-
complish it.
On Saturday night as “John,” the mate of
the Adelphi, was leading a horse of the boat,
and when on the gen plank the engineer
commenced to blow o the. boiler, which so
frightened the horse, that he jumped over-
board between the boat and dock, and it was
' eight o'clock before they succeeded in getting
him out. The horse belonged to someone in
Ridgefield, and, we understand, was a very
valuable animal. ~
Charles W. Smith has purchased the lot
adjoining his new house on Spring street. and
proposes to erect another house the same size
and style as the first one. Baker and Smith
are to do the work. .
One of the new houses being put up by
Tallmadge Baker on Clay street is about
enclosed.
The Hat Forming Company have been pre-
paring for cold weather by banking up vl izb
dirt about their shop.
Mayor elect Swartz proposes to enlarge his
cigar manufactory by adding to the rear of
his store. We don’t know whether this is
caused by his election as Mayor, or by the re-
turn of “Matt,” or both. However, they are
clever fellowa and deserve success,bnt “Matt
will have his little joke, you know."
_Tbe_workingmen have called a meeting to-
night (Monday) at Military Hall, to take
action in regard to electing representatives to
look after their interests in the matter of
convict labor. . ' '

Sabbath afternoon, was well attended.
.- Mrs. Waterbury was taken quite seriously
ill on Saturday last with malaria, but is some-

We regret to announce that there is to be
an auction the week at the Old Hen Club, of
horses, harness, blankets, whips, &c., the
property of Mr. James Nash, well known in
this city as the great “horse man:" It seems
as soon as the ofllcers of the “Gentlemen’s
Driving Association" announced the October
meeting of the association, Jim began to pre-
pare for the races, expecting of course to
take first money in every race. He first at-
tempted to “thaw out” Little Dan, and when
he had him so he was able to walk. some one
came along and offered $1,000 for the beast,
and be wisel took it. He then co enced
to prepare “ ichael Healy," and as C says
got him so he could trot a mile in about one
minute. He. succeeded so well with this
horse, and being rather avericious, turned his
attention to “Lady Woodrufi,” a horse which
previous to this race they have been unable
to get her record, she was so fast. Jim suc-
ceeded in making one or two bets among the
members of the Old Hen Club. One, we
understand, was with John Ferris, for a box
of Cigars. Well, the day came at last, Jim
horses, and everything was all right. The
horses were brought up to the line and word
was given to go ; and they did go, except
Jim’s horses. Well, shall we give the result ?
we presume it is not necessary, as everybody
knows thanboth his ,horses were nearly dis-
tanced. The above auction is the result.
Jim is disgusted with horse flesh, but every
member of the Hen Club is delighted, and
they say if he is caught talking horse in the
club any more. he is to be fined ten dollars
for each ofience. We hope everybody will
attend the auction and close him out.
We have not heard much about represen—
tatives this week, but there is no doubt that
Mr. Rowan is the coming man, and will re-
ceive a hearty re-nomination at the republican
caucus.

The following is a specimen of the kind of
letters occasionally received by‘ our tax col—
lectors :
NEW Haven, CONN., Thursday, Aug. 28,
To THE COLLECTOR OR COLLECTORS or THE
TOWN or Nonwanx. '
GENT :——I received sometime ago a bill of
thirty cents for State, Town and School taxes
with no signature of an one as collector.
Upon consulting the onnecticut Register
for 1879, I find the names of James Finney,
C. T. Weeks (1 F. A. Tolles mentioned as
collectors. B njamin J. Sturges was pub—
lished as collector last year, but this year I
see him published as a constable and not as a
collector. Perhaps the change of Brother
Sturges from one place to another is an in-
stance of “Rotation in office,” and the elec-
tion of three collectors instead of one is a
specimen of “Civil Service Reform.”
Well, gentleman, I inclose thirty-five cents
in “fiat" money as bein more portable than
“hard pan” currency. Vii! you please for-
ward a receipt for my taxes and appropriate
the surplus of two cents after paying postage,
to your own use; not spending it for rum.
Yours Responsibly,

The New Pastor in Stamford.
The venerable Congregational Church of
Stamford (organized in 1635), recently ex—
tended a call to Rev. Samuel Scoville. of
Norwich, N. Y., to fill its pastorate, vacated
by the resignation of Rev. G. B. Wilcox, D.
D., who goes to a Western professorship.
Mr. Scoville has accepted the call. He is
son~in~law of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
The following paragraph is from Mr. Beech-
er’s paper, the Christian Umbn. The New
York Evangelist has another equally com—
mendatory notice.
MR. scoerLa's FAREWELL TO NORWICH.
The Rev. Samuel Scoville closed hisminis-
ry at the Norwich, N. Y., Congregational
bureh, October 4th, after a pastorate of
more than eighteen years. His departure is
regarded asa public calamity by the people
of the town,“ to whom he has endeared him-
self iu a very exceptional way. No ministry
in that section has been more fruitful. Under
his guidance every church enterprise has
flourished, and every gooOvork outside the
church has received a vigorous impulse.
During his pastorate a new and commodious
church has been built, and 480 persons have
been added to its membership. At the fare—
well service—in. which all the churches Of
the place united—Mr. Scoville ”received a
perfect ovation. Every denomination and
profession was represented, and the addresses
were most sincere and affectionate express-
ions of appreciation of the large-hearted
helpfulness which has endeared him to
Christians of every name—Cat hoiics as well
as Protestants—and made him a power for
good in the whole community. Mr. Scoville
will be followed to his new field by the'good
wishes of a great multitude of friends, and
we have no doubt his pastorate at Stamford
will be as fruitful as that which he has just
closed.

Letters from the People.
Bowarron, Calm, Oct. 17, 1879.
Enrrons GAZETTE :—Ailow me, please suf-
ficient room to briefly reply to the Sentinels
Rowayton correspondent, whose effusion ap-
pears in the last number of that paper, and
who has managed to use up considerable
space in'which to say but very little. He
feels frisky as a spring colt‘to think some one
has condescended to notice in print one of
his items, and the notoriety thus gained has
added at least a cubit to his statue. It is
laughable to think' that he felt himself un-
equal to the mental task of framing a suit—
able reply to our famed communication, and
on that point we most sincerely approve of
his good judgment in calling upon a certain
Captain to help him out of the difficulty, but
whether he wished the Captain to supervise
the orthography or the composition, one or
both, we have no means of knowing. He
shows by his scriptural quotation familiarity
with the Bible which is a cheering indication
of future penitence, and might we suggest
that he, when again in the mood, would read
over the commandments, and especially the
one which says, “Thou shall not bear false
witnessagainst thy neighbor.”
Now, so far 'as “the people’s watering
place” is eoanrned, if Col. Colyer bas_in any
way eneroached upon the rights of the pub- .
lie or of any individual, recourse to law will .
remedy the difficulty and on the part
of the people the State will defray
the expense. We have talked, however,
with old residents who have been famil-
iar with the watering place for years, and
they say grave doubts exist as to the validity
of Barnabas Marvin’s title to the spot in
question and evidence tending to that end
could be brought forward which would be
difficult to. disprove. This spot has long
since fell into almost entire disuse, and how
imprudent it would be to stay a public im-
provement or private enterprise to gratify
the whims of one or two old fossils—espec-
ially when there are and can be no legal
Objection.
Having proceeded thus far we will now
divulge the sequel of this correspondent’s
antipathy by the bare mention of the circum-
stance of his having been discharged (so it is
said), for just and sufficient reasons by Col.
Colyer, while in his employ two years or
more ago.previous to which time the Colonel
had or could not have a more enthusiastic
supporter, nor since then a more ungenerous ,
critic, hence we repeat that petty spite
prompts the abuse poured forth by the
Sentinels writer. (We regret the necessity
of making this statement but are obliged to
do so to prove the correctness of what we
assert.) '
Col. Colyer’s generous deeds, acts of phi-
lanthropy and enviable public record will
shed lus‘tre on his name for years to come,
and long after these who are so loud in their
abuse of him shall have passed to their final
account. It ill becomes a correspondent to
dodge behind an annonymous communication
from which to throw mud, but in this case
the shafts of malice fall far short of their in-
tended victim, and it is barely possible that
at some future time they may recoil on their
author. Yours Respectfully,
Cuanrss RAYMOND.

, A CARD.
I hereby certify that the statements pub-
lished in regard to the death of my son, and
stating certain remarks to have been made by
myself in the occasion of the receipt of a
letter announcing his death and asking if his
body should be sent home, is an unqualified
falsehood. I did not even know of his death
until after the arrangements for his funeral
had been made by others unknown to me and
without consultation with me, and did not
even know that his illness was serious until
after his death had occurred. I was in such a
feeble condition of health that it was not
possible for me to attend his funeral.
