REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republicans of Norwalk are requested
to meet at the
TOWN IIOUSE,
Friday, Evening, October 3] st,
at 79,- o‘clock, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for Representatives to the General
Assembly, and for the transaction of any
business deemed desirable. Per order

Norwalk, Oct. 27th,‘18179.
The Coming Election.
The election to be held on Tuesday next,
Nov. 4th, in Connecticut is one of much im—
.portancc.
The senators to be elected in the odd dis-
tricts will hold ofiice for two years, and have
a voice in the election of a U. S. Senator to
succeed W. W. Ell-01'].
Two of the three senators in this county
hold over—~the mm and 12th, and are both
Republicans, but the voters in the 11th or
Danburv district must determine whether
they prefer to elect a. man who will vote for
Win. 1-1. Barnum as the successor of Mr.-
Eaton in the U. S. Senate, or some good,
sound Republican. It is a hard district and
our friends have an uphill road to travel,
yet by proper efiort a republican maybe
elected in that district as was done in the
more actively loyal days of the slave holders
rebellion. Go in and win the district boys,
you can do it;
The Graphic, last Friday, had some fine
and some rather dubious pictorial illustrations
of Norwalk and its best edifices. It also
unwarrantably makes a prematurely old man
of our friend Wm. H. Smith, by announcing
that he has been in the hardware line for
forty years: Now Smith is not only the
youngest but one of the best looking men in
the hardware trade in all Norwalk, and we
resent the base imputation that he has dyed
his hair and whiskers and falsely made him—
self look young, while really a scxtogcnarian.
But friend Smith can find consolation in the
fact that we are also put down as the young -
and frisky Junior of the GAZETTE. The
South Norwalk part of both the illustrations
and descriptions are much more attractively
and accurately done.

Death of I. M. Bullock.
The many acquaintances of Israel M. Bul—
lock will be saddened to learn of his early
dcath,whicb occurred in Bridgeport on Tues-
day last. On leaving the law school, Mr.
Bullock first settled in Norwalk and opened
his office in the GAZETTE Building; His in -
. dustry, probity and conceded abilities at once
made hiba popular favorite, and, compara-
tive stranger as he was, he so won upon the
esteem of our citizens that he was elected
our Representative to the Legislature, and
represented our town with credit and conce-
ded ability. He was also a Free Mason and
Master of St. J ohn’s Lodge while here. He
subsequently married and removed to Bridge-
port, and formed a law partnership with the
Hon. Amos S. Treat. A year or so ago his
health began to fail him and symptoms of
tubcrical consumption developed and be last
year took a voyage to Europe hoping to re—
gain his liealthi His efforts were vain, and
in the bright meridian of his days he" has
succumbed to the fell destrOyer. He leaves a
wife and two children to mourn, with all
who knew him,'his loss. .
The death of Israel M. Bullock, of Bridge-
port, occurred yesterday morning at 5 o’clock
at his residence in that city, of consumption.
Mr. Bullock was well known throughout the
State as a lawyer who had attained high rank
for a young man. He was formerly Judge of
the City Court, of Bridgeport, had held the
position of City Attorney, and at the time of
his dcatb‘was Grand Master of Masons of the
Grand Lodgé of Connecticut. He was born
in Massachusetts in 1844, and entered Brown
University, Rhode Island, at the age of 17.
While a student the war broke out and he
enlisted in one Of the Rhode Island three
months regiments. On the expiration of his
term Of service he returned to the Univpr~
sity and completed his studies. On leavmg
college he studied law and was admitted to
the bar in 1865. The following year he re-
moved in Norwalk, and in 1869 the Republi -
cans elected him to represent their town in
the Legislature. During the same year he
removed to Bridgeport and became the law
partner of A. S. Treat, Esq. In 1874 he
withdrew from thc'partnership with Mr:Treat
and continued the practice of law by himself
until last February, when he became associa-
ted with ex-Mayor DeForest. Mr. Bullock
was a warm supporter of Masonry, and was
always active and prominent in the Order.
He was one of the founders of Corinthian
Lodge, of Bridgeport, and has been twice its
presiding ofiiccr. He has also been General-
issimo of Hamilton Commandcry,was a mem-
ber of Jerusalem Chapter. and at the time of
his death was Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge, F. & A. M. of the State and Deputy
Grand Commander of the State Commandery.

Convict Labor.
A meeting of those opposed to convict
labor in prisons in competition with free and
honest labor outside, was held in the city
last work and cxprcssion's fully endorsing
Mr. Rowan for rc-clcction for Representa-
tivcwcrc received with outbursts of applause.
The opinions so clearly and ably' expressed
by Mr. iolfax and published in last week’s
GAle’l‘Tl-l, were received by this class of our
fellow citizens with special approval and ap-
probation. Mr. Colfax certainly shows how
to deal with the problem with a clearness
and candor beyond anything we have before
seen.
The Republicans of the Fifth District have
nominated Capt. D. B. Hamilton, of Water—
bury, as their candidate for Senator. Mr.
Hamilton was one Of the gallant captains of
the old Fifth C. V., and since his return from
the war has been manager of the famous
Rogers Brothers’s silver plate works at Wa—
terbury, and by his able management has
won a reputation for the concern second to
none in the country. A gallant soldier, a
successful manufacturer and financier, and a
gentleman of character and reputation, be is
eminently qualified for the position, and it
will be greatly to the credit of the district to
elect him.
The Hayden trial continues and has devel-
oped into a scientific investigation. Yale
Professors, as experts. have been testifying
for days concerning arsenic, its mode of
manufacturc,eflects upon the human system,
different kinds and shapes, &c. Arsenic was
purchased in several cities, thirty lots or
more, and tested. Certainly the jurors if
not able to tell who murdered the Stannard
girl ought to be able to carry on the arsenic
business in all its branches.
Thomas Bour,who was fined $75 and costs
by Judge Beers, on Saturday week, for talk-
ing with Juror Lockwood during the Bucholz
trial, has withdrawn the appeal he had taken,
under the advice of Gen. Smith, it is said,
thinking his prosecution was an act of un-
professional spite on the part Of State Attor—
ney Olmstcad, because it had thwarted his
hopes of hanging BucholZ—not only so ad—
vised Bear, but the General is said to have
piid his line for him out of his own pocket.

The Gazette in nearly every issue has
something to say about the name for Mr.
Ely’s new hotel, and seems to have taken
upon itself aselfimposed itask of. providing
*
one. . * * _
We think in this the Gazette is meddling
with affairs that do not concern it.—Scnti‘nel.
We could smile at our top-lofty contem-
porary, who like a pugnacious rooster,
mounted on his own dung—hill flaps and
crows defiance to all intruders, were it not
' that our very soul is made sad by the above
complete “giveaway” of itself. We are
greatly pained to thus see that our neighbor
does not possess the intimate confidence of
its most prominent citizen, whom it so
valiantly volunteers to defend. We should
' stand admoriisbcd, by his lordly rebuke,
with bowed head and in reverent contrition,
for our temerity, were it not that Mr. Ely
did invite us to suggest names for his new .
hotel. Got “hoist by your own petard”

ling recitals of" scares and horrible frights
growing Out'?of’ the all pervading fear of
burglars." The following narrative somewhat
varies the regular programme, however. A
citizen residing near West Avenue had occa—
sion to be absent with his family over night,
and just after his departure the mysterious
actions of a strange man loitering and peer—
ing about his. house led the neighbors adja~
cent to surmise the vacant house was to be
raided that night. Their fears were commu-
nicated to the authorities and an impromptu
watchman was despatched after dark to
guard the premises. To be entirely safe
himself, the improvised watchman climbed a
tree! Opposite the housc,where, cramped up in
the notch of a limb projecting from the trunk
he bracedhimself, and with cocked revolver
awaited the burglar. He held on like a
squirrel till near eleven o’clock, when he was
stai tied by footsteps approaching the fated
house. He grasped the butt end of his
shooter nervously with one hand and the
tree trunk with the other. Soon a man surged
from the darkness, walked right up to the
front stoop and began an effort to pick the
front door lock. As his’false key was clink-
ing within the door, our watchman’s eager
ear caught the sound, and taking a deadly
aim he pulled the trigger, but his infantile
gun missed fire. By this time the robber
had opened and passed softly inside the door
of the doomed house. The agitated watch-
man pulled again and this time his pistol
went Off and made the resevoir hills echo.
Out came man,boy, aged woman and maiden
from all the adjoining houses, screaming to
know what was the matter? Soon a few
more courageous than the others, rushed past
the tree just at the moment our watchman
came tumbling down and lay sprawling on
the ground. He could give no intelligent
account of his presence and conduct for
some moments, nor could the startled people
peering from raised windows and calling
from stoops, dooryards and balonics. At
length the owner of the watched house came
out, lantern in hand, and walked up to the
little knot where the watchman had tumbled
and pitched almost headlong from the tree.
At sight of him the poor guardian of the
house cried out, “Why, Wilson, is that
you? Why, they said you wasn't coming
home till to-morrow might, and I was
watching your house, and when Isaw you
go in I tried to. shoot you, thinking
you a burglar. Oh, my goodness gracious,
whata narrow escape you’ve had 0' being
murdered going into your own house i” The
good people saw how it was and again re-
.turned to their beds and our watchman to
“report" his detective experience, and repeat
how very near he came killing-the supposed
burglar.
The Neptunes.
Our jolly amateur tars, who have now just-
ly won a more than local reputation, held
their annual reunion under the auspices of
that prince Of landlords, Banks Morehouse,
at the old Norwalk on Friday evening last.
The entire list of last year’s officers was re-
elected amid saintly protests of the victims
and cheers of the crowd. The Secretary
read over some notes and most sensibly some
extracts from the old GAZETTE, which helped
along digestion to an amazing degree. Banks
fairly outdid himself on the supper and every
Nep was as “full” as a binding blanket, when
he arose from the feast of good things.
Chaplain Hamilton, Mayor Morison and
Mayor—elect Swartz and the local press were
also present, and but for the interrupting fire
at Spiro’s, this “annual” would have been
the brightest and best of the whole delight—
ful series. And long may the Neptunes
wave.
Take the Children.
While the Lecture of Mr. Colfax to-mor-
row evening will be of engrossing interest to
all, it is doubly worth the price of admission
to the young as a practical geography lesson.
in no better way can any one get so correct
and adequate an idea of the magnitude of
this great Republic. His trip from ocean to
ocean with Mr. Greeley and Mr.Sam Bowles,
was one ' full of incidents which he most
graphically descrihes. Mr. Colfax gives the
lecture 11 the auspices of the Sons of
Temperance, yet large numbers of Odd Fel-
lows. the Mechanic Association and indeed
about everybody seems very wisely determ-
cd to attend. Reserved seats can be secured
at Scllcck’s and Prowitt’s, and don’t fall to
secure them early.
Good News. ,
We some time since expressed our great
gratification at the business and financial
success which seems to be in waiting uppn
our old friend H. H. Elwell's, Bridgeport,

taut and gratifying bit of news comes from
his only son who has been residing in St.
Paul for some time for his alarming threat-
ened health. Arthur writes his father that
since his coming to St. Paul he is seventy-
fivc cer cent. better, and now feels confi-
dcntof complete restoration. He and his
young wife will remain there during the

W ASIIINGTON, Oct. 21.—A telegram to the
Treasury Department from Lieutenant Wil-
liams, of the United States revenue steamer
Richard Rush, which arrived at San Fran—
cisco from Alaska yesterday, states that
Captain George W. Bailey, commander of
the vesscl, was lost overheard during a se-
vcrc gale on the 16th inst. Captain Bailey
was one of the most valuable officers of the
revenue matinc service. He was a a native
of Connecticut and entered the revenue ser—
vice March 7, 1865, from New York.
Mr. Bailey was lost on the 16th during a
heavy gale Off Cape Flattery. He had been
suffering from a bilious attack on the trip
down the coast, though he was not confined
to his bed. His cabin opened directly on the
after part of the poop deck. He came on
deck and spoke to the officers, and was not
seen afterwards. His cabin was found empty
in the morning, and it is supposed he was
thrown overboard by a lurch of the vessel
while standing near» the rail. The cutter
brings news of winter fast settling down in
the Arctic regions, and it promises to be a
severe one. She brings no news of the Jean-
nette or from the whaling fleet.

History of American Politics.
Under the above title a volume of 274
pages, by Alexander Johnston, A. M., late
of New Brunswick, N. J.,—who fortunately
found that “good thing,” a wife, and has re-
cently opened a flourishing school in Nor-

Holt & Co., of New York,'as one of their
popular series of “Hand books for Students
and General Readers.”
This book, though so lately issued, has had
a very rapid sale, and has received numerous
commendatory notices of a very flattering
character. The preface contains a “list of
works which have been principally consulted
and referred to in the preparation of the
book,” whose titles cover over a page. It
goes back to the year 1777, and brings down
the history of American politics through
every administration to the present, ahd fur—
nishes in appendices the Articles of Confed—
cration, the Constitution, valuable tables,and
a full index. It deserves a place in every
library and among educational text books,

The Burnside Guards gave an invitation
Sociable, at their Armory, last Wednesday
evening. There was quite a large attend-
ance of ladies and gentlemen, all of whom
seemed to enjoy the occasion. The Fire PO-
lice of the Borough, Capt. Meeker, turned
out with full ranks in response to aspecial
invitation, and upon their arrival the Guards
gave an exhibition drill which reflected much
credit upon the company. Certain it is the

New York to Albany.
A new Railroad is being built up the west
side of the Hudson to connect New York
with Albany. It is now completed up to a
point opposite Rockland Lake and it was for-
mally opened to that distance on Saturday
last. 1!: is called the Jersey City and Albany
Railway, and judging from the list of guests
on the opening Excursion trip, it has some
of our Norwalk business men interested in it,
as follows: Messrs. W. C. Street, S. E. 01m-
stead and D. P. Ely. It will be still further
extended to Haverstraw in about ten days
more.
As hiready announced, the ladies of Trinity
Church, So. Norwalk, will hold a Fair and
supper at Music Hall, Wednesday and Thurs-
day next, opening at 5 o’clock each day. The
display of gogds will be unusually extensive
and elegant, and the supper m'ost elaborate.
In addition to the attractions offered at the
tables there will be a vocal and. instrumental
concert each evening beginning at 8 o'clock,
under the direction of Mr. Stephen S. Hutch
The programme is not yet annou‘nocd, but we
can safely promise a. good one, as Misses Fox
and Couch, Messrs. Price, Hill, Ayres and
Nash will sing, and Miss Jennie Nash is to
play the piano solos. On Wednesday eve-
ning there will be dramatic recitations by H.
H. Barbour, Esq. A representation of the
original “Old IVell" attended by Indians in
full costume as seen in the City Seal, will be
an attractive and novel feature at the Fair,
and the floral display will also be more than
usually beautiful. The ladies are making
every efi'ort to render these entertainments
phe best of the kind ever held in this town
and we trust they will be rewarded by a. lib-
eral patronage.
Gen. Grant is on his way east. Saturday

Fii’ Department Parade.
Wednesday, the day set for the annual
parade of our Fire Department was a good
one for marchin'here being neither rain or
sun to encounter.
Our fire boys did not turn out in very
large numbers, not having the incentive of
invited guests to draw them out, but. yet it
was remarked by critics that they never
looked or marched better,and that everything
appeared in good shape. As usual the Band,
Wheeler & Wilson’s, won enconiums from
all. The procession was made up as follows:
ORDER or Pnoosssfox.
Fire Police, 18 men.
Chief Engineer Raymond and Assistants
‘ Matheis and Fancher.:
Whg ler & Wilson Band.
Phoenix ngine Company, 23 men.
Pioneer Hook & Ladder Company, 18 men.
Hope Hose Company, 14 men.
After dress parade on Union Park the pa-
rade was dismissed with a few words of
praise from Chief Engineer Raymond. Hope
Hose had a collation served up in their
house, and Phoenix Engine CO. had a supper
in the evening at the Norwalk Hotel, where
they entertained a few guests and had a good
time.

Helen Potter’s Pleiades.
The entertainment announced for the
Opera House next Friday evening has been
given up, and Miss Potter’s company will
only appear at Music Hall next Saturday
evening. Miss Potter has long been a favor-

As a reader she has always given pleasure,
and now that she offers so many additional
attractions the Hall, should be filled by our
most cultivated people. Secure seats at once.

Quite a ripple of excitement was caused
here by a refusal to admit the'president of
the Gentlemen’s Driving Association into the
commuters’ special car last week. Mr.
Woodward does not pay the $15 extra for a
seat there, this year, but he did last and it
has also been a custom to allow the owner of a
chair to delegate its use to another when it is
not to be occupied by himself. They also have
arufc that no one is to be admitted who is
obnoxious to other members. Mr. Wood-
ward has been in the habit of occupying Mr.
W. S. Hanford’s seat when he was absent,
but on attempting to enter Thursday morn-
ing, was flatly refused admission, but no
reasons were given him for the indignity,
although Mr. Hanford, it is said, has been
notified by the commuters’ why Mr. Wood-
ward’s presence in their car is not agreeable.
The public mind has been agitated again
this week, and it. is about the new hotel bill
board. It seems J. R. Raymond the con—
tractor, upon the solicitation of Buxton the
bill poster, for the consideration of limited
number of tickets, gave him permission of
putting upaboard in the most conspicous
place of the building, using the fronts of one
of the stores. Mr. Ely seeing the place
covered over with show bills, hastily rc-
paircd to Mr. Raymond, and asked him
what right he had to use his property thus.
Mr. Raymond replied that he had a
perfect right to do as he liked in the matter,
as he had 5010 charge of the building while
in the course of construction. Upon hearing
this Mr. Ely ordered him to remove the
board at once, to which he replied he would
not, and suggested that the matter be left
with the architect which Mr. Ely willingly
assented to, who, when he heard both sides of
the question decided in Mr. Raymond’s
favor.

The announcement of the sale to take place
at the Old Hen Club last week, caused con—

whole roost. John Ferris flew up on the
arm of one Of the chairs, and flopped his
is Dr. Burke, for I see him blush this after—
noon when 1 spoke to. him about it." Just
at this time R. H. Rowan came in, and we
should judge, placed his feet on the stove in
close proximity to your correspondent’s nose,
and in his usual cautious manner said, "You
should not be so hasty my young chicks.
You have not been out of the shell long
enough to express yourselves in that manner.
He may be here among us now; who knows? ‘
I know who it is but I won’t tell you." This
made a general flutter, and now it came Still-
son’s (the president) time to speak. “ I will
and must,” he said, “ find out who it is. if for
nothing more than the reputation of the club.
I have an idea who it is and- if you appoint
me a committee of one, I will find out inside
of twenty—four hours.” After this speech he
approached the stove and prepared to kindle
a fire. You can imagine the feelings of your
correspondent being in the position that he
was with a fire kindled underneath him, but
it made undifference. We werein for it and
we stood it for two hours and a half, listening
to' the conversation of those “ roosters."
They kept it up until eleven o‘clock but they
were unable to satisfy themselves as to who
it could be. The meetings during the week
have been held as usual, but nothing trans—-
pired until Saturday night that was of unu—
sual interest. That night Gus Lyons strolled
in and got to talking horse, which is a very
unusual thing for him to do, but when he
gets to going be can beat Jim. He says “he
has often bought horses from parties and
when he got them home, he would cut off
their teeth, take Off their head and tail and
reverse them and put them on again and then
take them to the very person he bought them
Of, and sell the same horse back to them for
a new one." Lyon says he “will be more
punctual hereafter, and will cdify the Club
with some interesting facts about the horse.”
We understand that Stillson is to report on
Tuesday night 'this week, and then we will
know who the correspondent is. -
Your correspondent thinking it might be
of interest to yOur readers to know what is
going on every night at the club which meets
at. George Ferris’ store, crawled into one of
his partly emptied nail kegs, one night last
week, and expected to hear of something
that would be interesting to the public, as we
understand there are some pretty tough yarns
spun in this place, but we were doomed to
,disappointment, it was an off night, there
being none Of the boss blowers present, not
even George himself, who is considered to be
fair. But, however, we are not discouraged,
but live in hopes of catching something “in
the sweet bye and bye.”
This being the last week before election it
will be necessary to hold the-caucus during
the present week. There is no doubt but
there will be a liveiy time in the Republican
caucus. There seem to be but two candidates
in the field—R. H. Rowan and C. W. Hoyt.
Mr. Hoyt has been to work for the past three
weeks for the nomination, and will probably
make quite a show of strength at the caucus.
Mr. Rowan has made but little effort to ob—
tain the nomination,'but he will without a
doubt receive it by a large vote. Mr. R.
made many friends last year in the Legisla—
ture. The workingmen at their meeting last
Monday night endorsed his aclion in the Leg-
islature, and recommended his rc-nomination.
The oystermen, with, but one or two excep-
tions are solid for him, and in fact propose to
nominate him in their interest. We under-
stand that there will be a delegation of twen-
five oystermen from Five Mile River at the
caucus, who propose to vote for him. It is
customary to send a representative the sec-
ond time, and we doubt if the Republicans
have a stronger man in their party to nomi-V
nate. We don’t know what the Democrats
propose to do for a candidate ; we suppose
they are so demoralized since the Ohio elec-
tion that they have not much heart for the
canvass. We hear of several good candidates
mentioned but we doubt if either of them
could be induced to accept. Nelson Taylor,
Wm. R. Lockwood, R. H. Golden and Thos.
Guyer, are named as coming men. They are
all good candidates, and either of them
would make a good run if they could be in-
duced to accept the nomination.
