Legislative Organization.
Had not Judge Brewster been transferred
from another seat in the House, to one in the
Senate, we think that by common c0nsent, he
would have been accorded the Speakership of
the House. It would have been well deserv-
ed by him, and the honor justly due Fairfield
County for the inroads made by earnest Re—
publican effort, into the ranks of the democ_
racy- As it is, all rejoice that Judge Brews—
ter was nominated for the Senate, for scarce
another Republican in the whole 11th Dis-
trict could have carried it against the heavy
democratic majority. All that Fairfield Conn.-
ty willbe likely to ask of her Republican
friends is a cl ance for the Assistant Clerk—
ship of the House,and a messenger’s or doct—
keeper's position. Capt. Benjamin Wright,
of Greenwich, and M". Charles Woodbury
are likely to be candidates for the Assistant
Clerkship, and the House will be exception—
ally fortunate if it can elect a clerk of the
capacity of either' of these gentlemen. Capt.
Wright, to his honorable record of a soldier
adds the experience of three Legislative ses—
sions as a member. Mr. Woodbury is a gen-
tleman of liberal education .aud practical
alertness. Ainong the most deserving of
those whose claims we have heard urged for
one of the minor positions about the Capitol.
is that of Francis E. Weed, of New On—
naan. Besides being honest and capable he
is most deserving. He served four years in
the Union Army in the 13th Conn. Vols,
was captured and boarded sumptuously at
Libb and Salisbury rebel prisons, and got
out with barely his life, which fully accounts
for the democrats having made such desper—
ate cfforts to defeat him for Representative
in New Canaan this Fall. Weed’s war rec—-
ord entitles him to the solid support of his
county for the best position attainable about
the Legislature. ' ‘
A short and active session is predicted.

A Lively Railroad Rumor.
The financial news made up in New York
and telegraphed to the .Assocrated ,Press re-
ports that there is in Wall street a rumor that
the New York and New England Rullroad
is to be leased by the NewYork, New Haven
and Hartford Road, which has recently
leased the Air Line and which some years
ago leased the Shore Line. On the strength
of the report' the New York and New Eng.
land and Boston, Hartford 87 Erie securities
moved up. New York and New _Haveu'rs
selling about $8 a share less than it was In
July.
We find the above in Saturday's Hartford
(Journal, but the substance of the rumor has
filled the air bereabouts since Thursday last,
and with it is coupled the idea that it means
death to the new parallel organization out-
lined by us last week. In fact the manouvrc
is freely commented on as a flank upon and .
capture of- the high contracting parties
behind the newly organized railroad enter—
prise. We have been at much pains to learn
the truth of these assertions, and are assured
%y the parties in interest that whatever hands
the New York and New England, or Air
Line, or other lines may fall in it will not de-
feat or delay the building of the new road;
that the Directors have bona fidely let the
building of it to Mr. A. K. Ramsdall and he
has executed a large bond for the fulfillment
of his contract; that a meeting of all the
stockholders of the new road is to be held
the present week to ratify this action of the
Directors. If any reliance can be attached
to the word and engagements of responsible
and honorable men, it would seem the build-
ing of the new road is an assured fagt.

The Voting List.
The Borough Registrars have made up the
Voting List and posted the same in the post
office, in accordance with law. Every per-
son entitled to vote should examine the list
and see that his name is correctly registered,
as there is always liability of error, and there
is no provision in Borough law for correction.
on the ‘day of election. Any name to be
added or taken off must be reported to Clerk
Foote on or before next Monday afternoon.
The Registrars meet to correct the list on the
20th, but can only act on such names as may
be presented through Clerk Foote, as above.

Since our friend Hyatt has commenced to
refuse to run for any office, his fiery steeds
seem to have caught the distemper and
treated him to two runaways last week.
One old car horse |got so full of the idea of
running for something that he broke out of
the stable and dashed: across the bridge,
hitting a stone post in front of Star’s, and
demolishing that and finally sprawling him-
self fiat in front of the Post Ofiice where
he was captured. The poor brute no doubt
thought himself S. J. Tilden running for the
Presidericy and the spirit with which he
started out and the way he ended up gives
probability that this was the only thought in
his horse mihd.
' A Musical Treat.
We are glad to learn that the St. John
street Church, of New Haven, the largest
and best trained choir in the city of Elms, is
to visit Norwalk and give a grand concert in
the 2.1 M. E. Church, Friday evening, Nov.
28th. Our friends will see by the advertise—
ment which appears in another column that
this is to be a fine affair, and we hope our
readers will show that they appreciate the
enterprise of our Methodist brethren in sc—‘
curingthc services of these superior artists
byrfilling the house.

Mrs. W.’ W. Clark had Mr. George W.
Raymond the undertaker, go down to the
agents of the Charleston steamer to see if
the remains of her husband might not be
recovered. A steam tug had been sent to
the vicinity of the wreck with marine divers.
but after two days search it returned being
unable to discover the wreck. The suppoc
sition is that the Champion has either listed
over or some passing vessel passed over and
broke off the projecting must in the night
time. There is little prospect now that the
sunken vessel will be raised before next
spring.
Concord Division, No. 2, S. of T., was of-
ficially visited by G. W. P. Wm. A. Lincoln,
of New Haven, on Friday evening last. The
G. W. P. was accompanied by P. G. W. A”.
Wm. G. Dickinson. of Rhode Island, and Ira
Wildman, of Danbury, both of whom made
addresses. The ladies of the Division provi-
ded a collation. '
The entertainment given by the Temple of
Honor in their Hall last Wednesday even—
ing, passed off pleasantly although the
night was stormy. It consisted of three
dramatic sketches, singing and declarations
&c. The first piece entitled .“Mrs. Jonas
J ones" kept the audience in a perfect uproar.
Miss Burris as Mrs. Jones, Miss Raymond as
the deaf mother-in-law, and Mr. J. A. Sny—
dam as “Jonas Jones" sustained their
characters well. The masterpiece of the
evening entitled “Rum's Work" was a
terrible lesson to all engaged in the traffic of
rum. Mr. Suydam as “Judge Perkins" the
drunkard was true to life, and Mr. O. C.
Smith as the Temperance man kept the
audience spellbound by his forcible denun-
ciation of the rum traffic. The entertain:
mcnt closed with the laughable farce enti-
tled “Too Greedy by Half.” The members
of the Temple propose to give an entertain—
ment once a month during the winter
season. They are well worth attending.

Borough Affairs. _
The annual Borough Election takes place
one week from next Monday,—Dec. 1st.
Under the new law voters can vote for only
half the number of Burgesses to be elected,
&c.,—aj law which has been tried herebc-
fore and proved decidedly unsatisfactory to
all concerned. But somebody—probably
with a personal object in view,—managed to
secure the passage of the act and there is
nothing to do but work under it until it can
be repealed. Of late years this election has
been one of considerable interest, and we
presume will be warmly contested this sea-
son ns the parties are quite equally divided.
Who will be candidates for Warden, and
whatnames will be selected to run for the
Court of Burgesses is :already creating much
interest. I

A very pleasant wedding occurred on
Thursday afternoon last Nov. 13th, at the
residence of G. 1’. Adams, Esq, on Beatty
street. The contracting parties were Mr.
Wesley S. Hurd of Ansouia, and Miss Rhoda
A. Staples of Pound Ridge, N. Y., a. niece of
Mr. Adams. The Rev. J. G. Davenport of
Bridgeport performing the ceremony. Tire
house was finely decorated with ferns and
brilliant autumn leaves, and was fragrant
with beautiful flowers.‘ The rcpast was
simply elegant. The goodly collection of
bridal gifts included many _ things both
admirable and useful. All who were present
hope it may soon be convenient for Mr. and
Mrs.‘ Adams to celebrate the nuptials of
some other of their nieces, their “sisters
cousins or aunts,,’ in which case they hope to
be numbered among the guests. The happy
pair took the 6:11 train for the East. They
intend to make their home in Ansonia. _

_ Justice Cases.
Edward Hands was recently brought be-
fore Justice Stuart, charged with selling
liquor to Mrs. Wm. Mullen after having been
notified by the Selectmen in writing not to
dose. Fined $50.
The case of Henry C. Johnson as. Mrs.
Brower, of New [Canaan, was decided by
Justice Stuart in favor of defendant. The
case was to recover amount of, bill for
painting; which defendant disputed.
Wm. Hands declined to pay amount for
license asked by the County Commissioners.
He was arrested for selling without license,
and brought before Judge Stuart yesterday.
His case was continued until afternoon when
he was fined fifty dollars. Appealed. Before
the decision he took out a license, paying
$1.50.
Two cases against Henry T. Johnson were
recently tried before Justice Stuart. In one
case Isaac Lee was bondsman in the sum of
$100. Neither Johnson or Lee appeared,
and the case went by default. In the second
case he was fined $50 for selling without
licenSe; appealed.
The case bf J. G. Harmill, of Cos Cob,:_es.
Dann. Kelly and Ed. Lockwood, of Stamford
came up before Justice Stuart, yesterday.
Hammill did not appear, and as the State
failed to procure witnesses the case was dis—
missed. Kelly, it is said, was thrown from a
horse in Stamford, last week, and received
injuries to the brain which it is feared will
cause his death.
As the Adelphi was in the vicinity of Greg-
ory’s Point, on her way up from New York,
Thursday evening, some of her passengers
were frightened by the noise of escaping
steam. An examination showed that the
flange of the throttle valve, was broken, can
sing the escape of steam. Theboat was
thus delayed about an hour. Next day the
regular trip dotvn was made, but the boat
was forced to remain until Saturday p. m.,
for repairs.
“Pinaforc” and “Trial by Jury.”
When Mr. Henderson produced “Pinafore,”
at the Opera House, last October, the com-
pany gave so much pleasure that a. number
of gentlemen at once commenced negotiations
for its repetition. Since then Mr. Henderson
has been playing the company at the Stand-
ard Theatre in New York. Lust Stiturday
night the company closed the season in the
city, and to-night, under local auspices, will
appear again in Norwalk. The company, "it
is said, has been strengthened, and “Trial
been added as an additional attraction.
When the company was here before it is said
Miss Mills was sick, and another lady was a
very good substitute. This evening Miss
Mills will appear as Josephine, and Miss
Estelle Mortimer as “Little Buttercup"—
called the best of all “Buttercups.” Several
other changes in the cast, it is claimed,
really improves it. “Trial by Jury” is very
amusing, and with these two operas the
people will certainly get the worth of their
money. The sale of seats has already been
large, and it is safe to predict a. large and
fashionable audience.

dressed thc Sunday afternoon Temperance

Obituary.
Our fellow townsman, Wm.C.- Street, Esq.,
is again called to face another sorrow in the
death of his youngest daughter. Few homes
have been so blighted by the King of Terrors,
and while the heart of our stricken friend is,
made to bleed afresh, his desolate home, now
limited to one only surviving child, awakens
the heartfelt sympathy of our whole commu-
nity. Consumption, with all its deceptive
hopes and fears, bore the young girl away
just as dawning womanhood began to awaken
parental hopes of supporting solace in his
loneliness. The deceased is said to have
.posscssed an unusually amiable and affection-
ate disposition, and her gentle passing away.
was a befitting end of her peaceful life and
spirit. . .

Oliver G. Steele, Esq , died at his home in
Buffalo, N. Y., last Tuesday, at: the age of
75 years. Mr. Steele was a native of New
Haven, and when a young man lived several
years in Norwalk, where he was very highly
esteemed. Among his warm personal
friends here was George G. Bishop, lsq.,nnd
the intimacy bctwcen them never ceased.
About 1827, he went to Buffalo, where he
worked his way up in business and social
circles and came to be a prominent and influ-
cutial citizen, filling many positions of honor
and trust, .

attend will be pleased. Read the adv.
Annual Report.
We publish to-day the annual Report of
the Borough. Clerk Foote, as usual, has ta—
ken great pains to make the document as com-
plete as possible, and it will be found of
much interest to the people of the Borough.
Every town and village within ten miles
of Norwalk Bridge should be largely repre-
sented tonight, at the Opera House. It is
very seldom that an entertainment of such
merit visits this vicinity, and all who can
should attend. With “Pinafore” and “Trial
by Jury" by Henderson's thoroughly excel-
lent company, as an objective point, all the
young men and maidens, with their sisters,
their cousins and their aunts. should avail
themselves of the moonlight and ride ,to Nor—
walk. Certainly there is no more delightful
way of spending an evening. Come one-—
come all.
M
A Thrifty Business.
One of the most successful and rapidly
glowing local industries which has been e;-
tablishedbere in Norwalk for many years is
the Norwalk 1ron Foundry under the auspic-
es of S. E. Olmstead, and Geo. H. Raymond
2d, and the firm name of S. E. Olmstend &
Co. Their specialties, outside of general
castings, are stoves, ranges, hot air furnaces
and steam, car and house heaters. They
have put in heaters on many of the most im—
portant lines of railroad in the country, and
given equal and abundant satisfaction in the
heating of their cars, depots and shops_
They have also introduced their house heat—
ers into many of the best dwellings of the
Country and their orders are just now beyond
their ability to fill. They are at the present
time filling steam heating contracts at Hart—
ford, Coun., Holyoke, Mass, New Canaan,
Conn, Binghampton, N. Y., Boston, Mass ,
and quite a large number here at home in
Norwalk. Having examined their device
and “interviewed” parties who had these
heaters in all last winter, we have ourselves
thrown out an old heating device, (which ten
years ago was believed to be the best then
known) and contr.cted for the introduction
of their steam heater. They perform the
two-fold function of beating the'main por-
tions of the dwelling with hot air, heated by
steam and emitted into your rooms from indzz.
rest radiators, and also heating remote apart-
ments such as bathrooms. closets, dormitories,
etc., etc, by direct radiators. The system
seems to be both practical and economical as
to general house heating. At all events, it is
in succesful use in public buildings and pri-
vate dwellings, from Maine to Minnesota.
At Boston it is in use not only for railway
heating but for shipping as well. Their im-
proved wrought iron hot air furnaces are used
in churches, public halls and private houses
in all parts of the country, from Vermont to
Virginia, and “Maine to Nebraska. Their
plans of heating seem to be accepted over all
those now in use and they refer to the Boston
d7 Lowell, the New York 0% New England
and the Old Colony Railroads who have their
steam heaters in successful operation. At
the present‘Ioment they are furnishing the
South Congregational Church in Bridgeport
with four large wrought iron furnaces, built
especially for that church, and last week, af-
ter the closest competition, they obtained the
contract for putting in the heating apparatus
for Mr. Ely's new hotel at South Norwalk.
Other enterprises, akin to the Foundry busi-
ness, too numerous for detail, also engage
their active and profitable attefition. This
sudden and gigantic growth 0 an old, but
hitherto moderate business, shows what well
directed energy and push will accomplish,
when backed up by adequate capital. As a
local industry, giving employment to large
numbers of workmen, who here find bread-
earning labor for both day and night, we re-
joice, as all will do, who are gratified at any
such substantial evidence of home prosperity.

A series of temperance meetings have been

Temperance is the all absorbing question
this week. _ The meetings at the Hen Club
have been meagerly attended,and nothing of

It does seem that some people can never be

of showing a want of natural prudence on
the part of our city members of the Social

They are indignant that it should be intima.
ted that they joined all last winter in the
mazy dance with those “Bridge fol-lows."
without the precaution of having first
protected themselves by an introduction of
the suppcrating fluid from the bovine udder.
They say they aren’t afraid of small pox, but
if I must tell it out plainly, they are shy of
scabbz'cs, and will therefore run a select soci—
able this year, and no one from the Bridge is
to be admitted without first having been
guaranteed—n burn’t child dreads the fire,

At the. request of all the prominent citi-

and secreted himself among the beer barrels,
in his place, in order to find out what is
going on there every Sunday. There have
been a great many stories about this place of
late, some claiming that there are as many as
th‘ ty men there every Sunday. We had a
git night of it, nothing unusual going on
(1 no; the night. In the foreman, a’ few
stragglers came in, but we made up our mind
that there would not be much of a time
there during the day, as it was evident that

him. So we were doomed to disappointment,
as there was only a small crowd in during

nights, so as not to be able to treat the boys
when he meets them in the evening, and we
are satisfied we would be more comfortable
there than any other place in the shop. So
our readers will not, despair, but live in

The Nonvalk Sociable opened their series

gerford, Lynes and Camp. '
The work on the hotel is progressing rapid-

Thanksgiving.
It is along time since a first-class Variety
Company has been to'Norwalk, but on the
above evening we are to be treated to a good
one, headed by no less than the beautiful
Miss Minnie Palmer,—the Lotta of the va—
riety stage. This young lady is not only
talented but is one of the beauties of the
stage, being young and fresh her perform-
ances defy criticism. She is to be supported
by a first-class company, among which are
the names of Scnnlon and Cronin the well-
known comedians. A better performance
could not be engaged for Thanksgiving
night, and no doubt Miss Palmer ought to
‘be greeted by a crowded house.

. A Well Known Lady,
Mrs. John F. Brinkcrhofl‘,ol’Highlandfllstcr 00.,

soul to him :'—“Docr.or, I am afflicted with a dis-
eusc for which all the medicines I have triedhave
proved worthless; and thus far none or the physi-
cians} have consulted huye been able materially
to assrst me. I have applied now to you as a. last
resort, believiugit any man titular God can help
me itmust be yourself.” Dr. Kennedy, on ascer-
taining the precise character 91 M rsJII-inkerhoti’s
complaint, said frankly and at once: “Madame
you cannot be absolutely cured by any power at
present within the resources of medical science.
I could apply THE KNIFE, but the operation
would probably destroy your life.” ’I‘hcrton per-
ccivrng the despondency into which his honest
words had thrown the patient lady.the doctor ad-
ded : "I cannot give you perfect liberty from your
disease, but I can remove many 01 the distressing
symptomsol your difficulty; I can prolon your
life indefinitely and render it conilortab e and
mostly lrcc from pain. _ This I can do by means
of what 1 call my Favorite Remedy, which. you
have only to take as directed.” The pattentJight-
cncd other mental loud, gratefully promised to
obey the kind advice and went her way.
A short time since she sent the following mes-
sage by a iricnd who was going to Roundout:
“Call on Dr. chncdy. and tellhlm I have used
the Favorite liemcdy, as he directed, and that it
has done all, and even more than he promised.
It has afforded me so much relief. so much com-
fort. that I would not, I cannot do without. Tell
him, too, that be is‘welcomc to use my name. Yes
I can, and I will recommend Dr. Kennedy’s Fa-
vorite ltcmcdy always as a medicine superior to
all others for the cure of those complaints to
whichour sex are so liable. My word for it, the
medicine can do all that the doctor claims for it."
