Thanksgiving Day.
Thursday of the present week is the holi-
day of heart and hearthstone. From a strict-
ly New England anniversary it has now be-
come the favorite festival of both state, and
nation. The President of the United States
conjo‘rutl y with the Governor of our Com-
monwealth. makes proclamation to the people
for a reverent and joyous observance of now
the nation's chief annual festival. Dedicated
as it is by our christian rulers, to public grat-
itude and praise, it yet needs no oflicial proc-
lamation to hollow it, and make it a sacred
and welcome anniversary of borne ministra-
tions and influences in the reunions of loved
ones and heart memories of the departed.
During the past year not only has the good
Father blessed us most abundantly in basket
and store, in bountiful harvests and a re-
. awakeniog of prosperous industries all over
the land, but there has been a far more benif-
icent reawakening of patriotic love for this
grand and glorious Republic, ordained of
God .as the heritage of ourselves and our
children. This fair Union ‘of States, so bless- ,
ed of God and praised of men, preserved
through bitter conflicts and at untold cost of
blood and treasure, it is our sacred duty to
transmit' to our children and our children’s
children, who shall come after us. And
when, on Thursday, the family, long separa
ted, reassembles about the festive board, and
the vacant chair reminds of one and another
lost in the terrible conflict of arms and sleep-
ing,pcrlrnps, in a nameless grave, instead of a
comfortless grief filling the heart, let all re-
joice that by reason of such noble sacrifice
this great nation lives for evermore, lives for
Union and Liberty, for Justice and Equality.
No honors or tributes of affection can be too
great for such as these, and future generations
will rise up and bless their memories. And
while the memories of all such are most
gratefully and sacredly cherished, let no vain
tears be shed over their thrice honored graves,
for—
“Thc noblest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man.”
The inspirations of Thanksgiving day in
all our New England homes, should he of\a
deeper love of kindred and of country. Nor
should we forget, while meting out charity to
all, that the great battle we fought meant
something. That in its issue was won a
victory for National Life, and that what was
gained, at such terrible cost, shall forever be
maintained. Let us banish every bad pas-
sion of the war, but cherish to the heart‘s
corp our love and loyalty to the American
Union. Let parties rise and fall, but ever
may a God fearing people live and govern
this free Republic to the end, that it may con-
tinue a beacon of ho e to the oppressed ev-
erywhere. Then sha l the war for the Union
and all who went to its defense, be recognized
as a blessing .to mankind, and the vacant
chair on Thursday, shall symbolize the idea
of glorious martyrdom for humanity and
justly crown the departed with imperishable
glory. ' ,
Let no sadness tinge the joys 'of Thanks-
giving day because husband, father or broth-
er went down in the patriotic strife that sa.
ved this great nation to Humanity and our
own dear children. The rather, let us adopt
. the eloquent words of General Hawley on
Flag day at Hartford and devoutly say :—
“Thanks be to God! Abundant and-exult-
ing thanks to the Almighty Father that we
lived in those days, and were permitted to
do something toward seeing that the govern—
ment of, by and for the people shall not per-
ish from the earth!”

Parallel.
Another meeting of the Stockholders and
Directors of the new Parallel Railroad was
held at New Haven last week. The action
of the Directors was approved and con-
firmed and the contractor will immediately
proceed to negotiations for the right of way
within the state lines of Connecticut. The
Directors spiritly deny the rumors‘that. there
is any purpose to delayor “sell out" their
interest in the new enterprise, but that their
every effort will be for a speedy construction
of the road.
No sooner had the Guerra been issued
containing the Danbury Republican? fling at
our Norwalk horses and intimating they
hadn‘t spirit enough to run away, than Doc
Coolidge’s Dobbin started on}: first-class run-
away, colliding with groccr Glover and
starting up his spunky little sorrel—then it
dashed after a milk wagon and demolished
that, setting the lacteal fluid pouringdown
our gutters. Its dangerous to taunt a Norwalk 7
horse after all.

' sembled at the Opera House to witness the
Boro‘ltgh Election.
The annual Borough election takes place at
the Town Hall, next Monday, Dec. 1st.
The polls will be open-”from? o'clock, a. m.,
until 3 o’clock, p. m., and not until 5 o’clock
as in other elections. ‘Under the new law
electors will be deprived of their right to vote
for half of the Court of Burgesscs as no man
can vote for more than three. For. warden
and other officials, however, every man can
v'ote ashe pleases. Who the nominees will
be remains to be seen. Be sure to attend the
caucus and do your part toward selecting
honest, ‘ capable and efiicient men for thc
variouspositions.
Thanksgiving Services.
On Thanksgiving day union services will
be held at the First Baptist church com—
mencing at 11 o‘clock a. m. Rev. C. S.
Wing, of the 2d M. E. church, is expected
to preaph the sermon. '
The Caucus.
The Republican caucus is called for Wednes-
day evening, and the Democratic for Friday
evening. It is more important that the can—
cus slrouldbc largely attendcd‘this year than
in years past, from the fact that the nomina-
tion of certain loading officials is equivalent
to their election. The caucus, therefore, is
the place where the choice of these officers is
really to be made.

Amusements.
Thanksgiving week is prolific of amuse-
ments. Monday night we had “Almost a
Life.” On Wednesday night, at the Opera
House, Arnold's “Big 12" Ministrels are to
appear, thirty strong. They make a. street
parade during the day, and if the quantity
of their music and fun is equal to their
numbers. they will certainly please their
patrons. How twelve and men will conduct
themselves is a mystery to be solved. Read
their adv.
On Thanksgiving evening at Music Hall,
the California Ministrels will appear, also
prodigiously strong numerically. “Cool
Burgess," the veteran ministrcl, leads the
crowd, and is backed up by John E. Hen-
shaw, W. H. Rice, Ned Wambold,‘ Alf.
Lawton, Jerry Cohan, the California Sextette,
a large orchestra and a full Brass Band.
The performance closes with “No Pinafore,"
which ought to be amusing. ’
The ladies of the 3d M. E. Church will
give an Oyster Supper at the church, near
Five Mile River Landing, on Tuesday and

The concert to be given at the 2d M. E.
Church, Friday evening, promises to be a
very enjoyable entertainment. It is to be
given by the New Haven choir, numbering
forty-five voices, under the direction of Prof.
B. Jepsbn who has long enjoyed an enviable
reputation for drilling large choirs and
choruses. The programme embraces singing
by the full choir, choruses by the ladies,
choruses by the gentleman, quartets, solos,
piano solos, select readings,_etc. ”The, admis-
sion has been put remarkably low, and cf
course there will be a full house.
Thanksgiving Night.
Miss Minnie Palmer, who enjoys the repu-
tation of being the most charming little
soubrette on the stage to—day, is to appear
for the first time in Norwalk, at the Opera
House Thanksgiving night. Young, pretty,
and vivacious, she has all the elements of
success,. and coming as she does supported
by a good company,.the performance ought
to be a very enjoyable one. The leading
feature is a play called “Our Boarding
School.” She is to be supported by the
well known comiques, Messrs. Scanlon &
Cronin who are already favorites here. If
the weather is fair we predict a crowded
house to welcome the little lady and her
company. ' . .
. Again it is the Cat. _
After repeated efforts the management of
the Opera House has succeeded in securing
for- one night the celebrated Young Apollo
Club. This boulpany is too well known
here to need any comment from us, as
nothing can be said to add to ,their already
established reputation. The attraction will
be “PINAFORE,” and as our people have
already ,- seen‘ rt given in its best style by
Manager Henderson’s party they should now
see it as.rendered by the best little folks.
Many so called miniature and lilliputlau
Opera Companies have attempted to perform
this beautiful opera but none have the well
trained voices possessed by the 'Young
Apollo Club. They are 10 appear on Friday
evening Dec. 8th.
A short time ago we advised Manager
Weed to secure ,Haverly’s celebrated Church

evening some time during December. Let
us hope that rumor for once is right.

performance of Pinafore by Mr. Henderson’s
company. The company first produced
“The Trial by Jury," a broad burlesque
upon the trials of breach of promise cases be.
fore English juries, which created much
laughter. Pinafore followed, and it is enough
to say that the company fully maintained
their excellent reputation, and gave the best
of satisfaction. Miss Mills appeared as
Josephine, Miss Mortimer delighted all as
Buttercup, and Walter Macreery won all
hearts by his fine singing and manly carriage
as Rackstraw.

A Mixed Case.
South Norwalk, like all wide-awake cities,
must have its local cxcitements. Its latest,
attaches to the legal, rather than the usual
aesthetic quality. A certain popular vender
of sea—food and green—groceries hard by the
depot, sold and conveyed unto one other
certain customer from the northern rural
district, 0 quantity of goods, and received '
payment therefor a certain bill of the green-
back ~order and of the denomination of,
twenty dollars. Tlrc party or the first part-
soou learned that the bill aforesaid was
counterfeit. With precipitation the distress-
ing discovery was made known to the honest
farmer of the second part, who not having
at the moment the full twenty dollars in his
weasel skin pouch, paid on account of the
redemption of said bill the sum of tenldol-
lars, good and lawful money of the United
States of America. and promising soon 'to
call and pay the remaining half and recover
the spurious twenty. Meantime the party
of the first. part visited the Danbury Fair,
and like many another innocent fell among
thieves who picked his pockets of his watch
and wallet, and with all his good money this
twenty dollar bill aforesaid. The despoiled
merchant notified the farmer of his misfor—
tune, and stated that as the bill was worth—
less anyhow he still demanded the other ten-
dollars. Tlie honest farmer aforesaid de—
murred not only to paying the remaining ten
dollars but demanded back the ten he had
paidpn the tenable ground that he had traced
the bill to Messrs. Earle & Smith, who knew
from they took it, and were ready to redeem
it as such as the bill was returned to them.
Threats of suits were made on both sides,
and the see-saw has been kept up till last
Saturday, when the case was to have been
tried on complaint of the grocer of the first
part. The law in the case, is said to have so
staggered the City Judge that an adjourn-
ment to the last of the coming week was
agreed upon that the “authorities" might be
hunted up. We here extend our kindly
offices by calling the judges’s attention to the
celebrated Illinbis “cow case,” so often
quoted by Mr. Lincoln, as a. precedent exact-
ly in point, In that case, it will be remem-
‘bered, an honest farmer purchased a cow of
another honest farmer, and paid for her the
same precise amount of $20, in a bill on a
state bank. In driving the cow home, and
in full sight of the vcnder’shouse, the cow
lay down and died. “The purchaser demand-
cd back his money on the ground that the ani-
mal was "struck with death" before he paid
for her. The vendor claimed the cow was
as well as ever and that noillness was visible
at the time as was proved by the fact that he
_observed nothing wrong himself but conclu
ded the purchase and left with the cow.
But here a new complication arose. On at-
tempting to pass his twenty dollar .bill the
seller of the cow learned to his dismay that
the bank had failed and the money was
worthless. The famous 'suit followed. ' It
was proved the farmer received the bill in
payment of the cow at precisely nine o’clock
by his owu time-piece, the witnes's hearing
the clock strike as the money was paid the
vendor. It further appeared that the notice
’of the bank’sfailure was first given out at
nine o’clock that same morning. The pur~
chaser of the defunct cow claimed difference
of time-pieces and a recovery of twenty dol—
lars in good money, inasmuch as his bill was
good up to the moment of tho'bank’s failure.
The vendor claimed his cow to have been all
right at time of sale and his clock two min—
utes slow, so that the bank must have failed
that period of time before the payment to
him of thebill. It was upon thefull proof
of the'case as above recited, that the judge
made his memorable decision, which we so
confidently commend to our South Norwalk
administrator of justice. With great solemni—
ty the Illinois judge thus enunciated his deci-
sion: “If the court understands herself, and
she thinks she tic—then this is an action of
“trover.” The cow was purchased, a $20
note paid for her and she was driven from
the premises of the vendor. The animal
died while in the possession of the vendee
and on her way to his home, in a manner to
the court unknown. _ It further appears
that the bank issuing the note failed at or
near the time'of its payment for the cow.
Now it is clear, had the purchaser paid for
said cow with any other monies of which he
might have been possessed, and retained this
$20 bill, he would have lost both his cow and
his money. On the other hand, had'the bank
failed at a considerable time subsequent to
this transaction so that the vendor might have
had a chance to get his bill off upon some
other party, then it might become a question
of his liability to refund said money. But
in this case it is clearly a matter of the exact—
ness of the vendor’s family clock, and as it is
manifest that this court cannot attempt to
regulate, and much less account for all the
variations in the Connecticut clocks now run-
ning within the limits of the State of Illinois,
the judgment of the court is, that inasmuch
as the bank would have failed and the cow
would have died all the some, had they not
respectively changed - ownership, therefore
the plaintiff es his $20, the defendant
loses his cow, and the costs will be equally
divided between the contestants.”

There was considerable of a stir in the

this week. It seems that George had about

determined to take his gun. and repair to
the Islands and astonish the community as
a marksman. The club were in high spirits
OVer the prospect, but the question arose,
how will he be able to get his game to the
city. Some one suggested that two or
three should go with him, but George laugh-
ed at the idea of two or three-being able
to bring back the game he would get. No,
said he, “I will o‘y be gone one day, and
I'll hire Hoyt Brothers modern ark, and
send them up by her." 'At this the club was
quieted. The day came, George went, night
came. and the club met, but there was no
George. It was a gloomy set, doomed to
distippointment. Some said George was
going to stay until he got enough to load
the Adelphi, and ithen he would charter her
and send them up. - But others shook their
heads, and looked as though they thought
something had happened to him. They
repaired to their _,respective homes early.

We have been hoping for years that some
inventive Yankee would devise a steamer
easy of adaption to ordinary cooking
stoves and ranges, whereby one’s fowls,
meats, oysters, and' vegetables might be
stdanrcd instead of boiled, broiled, etc.
This consummation so devontly wished for
seems to have been attained in “Chamber:
lain’s Steam Cooker.” It has been awarded
th s first prize at the New England and other
Fairs as the best device of the kind yet
constructed, and it only needs that the
'good housewife should see and fully
examine the implement, to- be convinced of
its genuine merits. Mr. E. N. Mooring is
canvassing the town for the Cooker and, its
goodqualitics will commend themselves to
all at first sight.
