R0 WAYTON.
Representative elcct Colyer and wife ex-
pect to pass the Winter at the U. S. Hotel,
Hartford, same as last winter.
. The Railroad Company has completed its
side track and switches here for acco mmo—
dation of our local freight, which owing to
the large weekly shipments of Daricn oys-
ters to Liverpool, has become exceedingly
large. ‘
Our shippers get six dollars per barrel for
all oysters delivered in Liverpool, which is
just double tile wholesale prices ruling at
home. These oysters are laid up side down
and the top of the barrel sprinkled with salt
and Indian meal for the voyage.
DARIEN.
The people at Noroton had a rare treat on
Tuesday afternoon of last week. The Hon.
Frederick Douglass, the United States Map
shal of Washington, D. 0., being in town on'
a brief visit, was invited to address Miss Da—
vis’s school. The public were invited as gen—
erally as time would, permit, and the room
was well filled. Mr. Douglass in a felicitous
way, told the children of his early life, and
thedifliculties under which he obtained the
rudiments of an education. He was born a
slave, and the law, he said, forbade a slave to
learn to read, or to be taught to spell the name
of tile God who created him, or the Christ
who redeem. him. His mistress, in her ig—
norance and simplicity, taught him the alpha
bet. - When she told her husband what she
had done, he informed her that she might be
imprisoned, and also that an education would
spoil the boy for a slave. ,
Knowing the alphabet filled him with an
unquenchable desire to know how to use it.
He procured a spelling book, and, by the aid
of children, learned to read. In this book
he found the multiplication table, and also
the letters used in writing. By e aid of
white boys he learned both how to write and
cypher.
He said he had just been on a political cam-
paign ; that he was a republican, and he hoped
the boys would all grow to be true republi—
can men.
He said that all the rebels were democrats.
and that the late war was fought to carry out
democratic principles. If there was a wrong
side to a question the democratic party was
sure to find it. He was a republican because
that party had preserved the Union and had
given liberty and education to the colored
people.
The children and all were intensely inter-
ested both in Mr. D., and his entertaining ad
dress,
We are happy to say that Miss Davis’s
school was never as prosperous as now. She
has between 30 and 40 boarders and has clas-
ses in Greek, Latin, and the higher mathe—
matics. She is doing a noble work, and is
both loved and respected by pupils and citi—
zens.
Many hearts were saddened when the in—
telligcnce came of the death of Miss Anna
Mitchell. She was a young lady of rare
beauty of character and person. “ None
knew her but to love her.” She was the only
daughter of Mrs. Mitehell,late of Locust Hill
Seminary. The mother has the tender sym
patby of all in Darien. a
Miss Rebeeca Weed was buried on Satur—
day, in the family cemetery at Noroton.
She had long been an invalid and died in
Middletown. The funeral services were at-
tended at the Presbyterian Church, of which
she had for years been an honored member.
As that church has no pastor, at present, Mr.
Bradford officiated.
The election passed ofi‘ quietly, last Tues -
day. Mr. Colyer was elected by a larger ma-
jority than last year. This was gratifying
both to him and his friends, who feel that he
is the right man in the right place.
A free lunch of coffee and sandwiches was
generously provided for all voters of all par—
ties. The design was to obviate the necessity
of visiting drinking saloons. It was suppos-
ed that men could vote more intelligently on
these substantial things than when the brain
was muddled with bad whiskey. There was
a gentleman however, who took a different
view. His conscience would not allow‘this
lunch to be served in the hall. Rumor has it
that he actually said he I‘would rather spend
five hundred dollars than for men to eat meat
and bread and drink coffee in the town hall,
on election day." Such a respect for law is
certainly honorable and commendable. It
promises well for the good order of the town
and yet, in spite of this man's good example,
and his stern effort to enforce the law, men
were actuallydru‘nk in Darien on election day.
It could not have been the coffee, so it must
have been whiskey. Now the question is,
“Where did they get it f" But I go for the
law, though it compel men to lunch in a
barn, rather than in the Town Hall. ashall
stand by my fellow citizen, so long as he goes
for good law thoroughly enforced. I wish he
could bring to justice the scamp who made
men drunk on election day. He can count
on me to aid him in all lawful ways.
There was less excitement in town on
Tuesday than is usualon election days; The
Democrats had substituted'i‘n place of Mr.
H. B. Wallace (who was nominated-at their
caucus) Mr. Thomas Eager, and considerable.
effort was made by that party, aided by some
Republicans, to defeat Mr. Colyer, but when
the votes were counted it was found that
Mr. Colyer had a majority of forty-three
votes. The Republicans may well be proud
of their victory, as no town in the State will
Ice more ably represented. A'frec lunch for
voters of both parties was served in a
neighboring building.
On Tuesday, as a young man in the employ
of Mr. Henry 0. Street, was loading a wagon
with grain, at the depot, the horse became
frightened at a passing train and ran, scatter-
ing the contents of-the wagon from the depot
to the stable where he stopped. OnC‘hurs—
day he ran away again throwing out the
driver and breaking the wagon. Fortunately
he was again stopped at the stable.

ed in the Methodist Church, last Sunday.
The Congregationalists held their Sabbath
services in the Town Hall.
Rev. Lindsey Parker, of Brooklyn, will
deliver a lecture in the M. E. Church on
Thursday evening, Nov. 20th. Subject—A
Jolly Jaunt to Ireland. Mr. Parker was for-
merly puSiOl' of this church, and his well—
deserved popularity will no doubt ensure him
- a full house.
Mr. Ira Scofield was so ill on Tuesday as
to be obliged to leave the polls at an early
hour. ,
Dr. E. B. Foote, author of Medical Com—
mon Sense, and other publications that have
excited the ire of Anthony Comstock, and
who has heretofore spent his summers at Da-
ricn, was murderously attacked by a strange
man, in his office in New York, last week.
It now turns out to have been an insane bar-
ber from Hartford that made the inexplicable
assault.
STAMFORD.
Stamford surprised the State by taking its
place again in the Republican ranks and
electing two Republican Representatives by
the old-time majority of 247. Somehow the
impression prevailed that the town would
go over to the enemy, and the splendid
' result rejoices all Republicans throughout the
State.

So far as known they did not attempt to
intimidate anybody, yet the significant fact
remains that while many of our Irish breth-
ren who usually vote the democratic ticket
cast their ballots. for Capt. Burr, the dem—
ocratic candidate was elected by a small
majority, Another curious fact is the bear—
ers of the three guns were democrats.
Thursday’s mantle of snow brought with
it a chill something like that caused by
Tuesday’s wct‘ political blanket under which
the democracy have ever since been shud-
dering.

The market reports that coal will he likely

Mr. Samuel Wood, a practicing lawyer
in New York, residing here, madea local
prominent democrat (in his miud,)mad by
predicting the day after A. B, Cornell was
nominated that he would be elected gov-
crnor of New York, by upwards of 40,000
plurality. Mr. lVood seems to “have been
following the right grain of the Empire
State's timber, as per the good news of last
week.

The wisdom of repairing our roads early

WEST STRATFORD.
A special Borbugh election will beheld
(to—day (Tuesday) to fill a vacancy in the board
of registration.
The election in this town on Tuesday
last. resulted in a sweeping victory for the
Republican ticket. The story which was
circulated about Mr. Judson helped rather
than hindered his election. The majority
for the republican ticket was 123, and the
plurality 137. The majority in this the
second or West Stratford voting district
was 23 over all. Only -12 greenback votes
were polled against 72 last year. The
republicans then had a plurality of 46 on
the vote for Representative and yet there
was a majority of 23. against them. The
Democratic vote falls short of last year by
one, the republican by 13, and greenback by
69. Judging by the above figures the dem-
ocrats have not captured the greenback
vote. At least SOrepublicans did not vote.
The total number of registered voters in the
district is 357, of which the republicans
cast 123, the democrats 87, and the green—
backers 12. Adding the 80 republicans
who staid at home to those that voted gives
a total of 203. Taking the combined op—
position from that leaves a margin of 59 in
our favor, and yet the democrats have made
“great gains.”
We are glad to see that Darien returns Mr.
Colycr‘ to the Legislature in spite of the
opposition of the Sentinel’s Rowayton cor-
respondent. W'c noticed another effusion
from the Rowayton gentleman last week.
We think he will find it hard work to con—
vince the public of the truth of his charges
unless he can find better arguments than he
has lately been using.“ In the language of
the good book we would say to him, “Let
him that thinheth he standeth take heed lest
he fall-l’ -
We would like to call attention of the
people to an item which appeared in the
Farmer, after a last fall’s election. It said,
“If the Lord loveth whom he chasteneth,
the democracy of Connecticut must be high
in the divine favor.” There seems to be sev-
eral other places this year in which they seem
to be divinely favored. We send with this
article aticket which was used in California
at the late election in that State. Wonder
what our Connecticut voters think pf such a
ticket. Only 86 candidates to be poled for.
What a fine ticket to scratch. _W.

The McAuIiffe trial was brought to a close
on Friday. Attire opening of the court in
the morning.r the State Attorney said that
from the evidence he could not ask a verdict
of murder in he first or second degree, and
had therefore agreed with the counsel for
the defense to accept a verdict of manslaugh-
ter, which under direction of the court was
then given. McAuIiffe thenmade a state—
ment of the circumstances attending the
homicide. He claimed to have arisen about
half—past nine o'clock that morning, and
while his wife was getting breakfast, had
fixed a stove pipe, bending his knife in the
operation. He threw the knife on the table,
and soon after became engaged in an alterca-
tion with his wife, in the course of which he
pushed her to the floor. He then went out
and upon his return their boy reported his
mother as bleeding, but he supposed it 10 be
from some trifling injury, such as she fre—
qifently received while he was intoxicated.
He went out again and was arrested on his
.second return. He said he had lived with
his wife twenty years and was never before
arrested. The sentence of the court was
three years in the State prison and a fine of
one dollar

We agree with the Hartford Orrin-ant in
the following:
The defeat of Captain Benjamin Wright,
of Greenwich, is to be regretted. He has had
considerable experience and has been a faith-
ful,‘ conscientious and intelligent legislator.
Greenwich has made no gain by leaving him
home. 1'
Mr. Cor-busier opened his dancing school at
the new Hall in the Insurance Building, at.
.South Norwalk, Thursday. Families who
would like their children instructed in this
polite accomplishment, and young ladies and
gentlemen wishingto perfect themselves in
“the art of Terpsichore” can depend on Mr.
C. as one of the best instructors. Good citi-
zens of Norwalk have known Mr. C. for
years, and vouch for him as a good teacher
and an honorable man who gives full service
for money received, and who don’t run away
leaving bills unpaid.

E. K. Lockwood has replaced the heater in
the Bank of Norwalk with a large and hand—
some “Garland” stove, which looks very
cheerful.
The new Buckley Rubber Co. is just over-
whelmed with “orders” and is being driven

Every lawyer in the state is to be furnished

Fifteen lives were lost by the destruction
of the whaling schooner Petrel,. of Néw
Bedford, at sea. Six persons were finally
rescued by a passing vessel.
The annual Donation Supper for the bene-
fit of Rev. Mr. Smith, of Zion’s Church,
takes place at Lockwood’s Hall, on Wednes-
day evening cf next week, 19th.
Theannual conference of Congregational
churches convenes in Waterbury to-day.
Rev. Dr. Hawes, of New Haven, preaches
the annual sermon this evening.
It is strange how important and honorable
oflices go begging in Norwalk. Many of
our leading cilizens, of both parties have
already declined to be candidates for Warden
of the Borough.
Comstock Bros. have a splendid stock of
goods this Fall, made for their trade, and
take pleasure in showing the same to all who
are looking for winter outfits.
Our old friend 0. S. Lockwood, up Main
street, takes as much pride as ever in turning
out fine tailoring. For good goods and ex
cellentworkmanship he admits of no superior.
As-winter is so near at hand we trust the
1 cause a
thorough examination, to be made at once of'
all public hydrants, and if any are found out
of order to have them repaired. A hydrant
frozen up is a bad thing to have around in
the emergency of afire.

The Court of Burgesses has been petitioned
for oil lamps on France street. The lamps
ought to have been placed there years ago,
and we hope the present petition will be

If some famous astronomers are to m be-

to all intents and purposes the sky literally
rained fire. The display for this year will
not commence until one o’clock in the morn-
