CONGRESS.
The December session of the’Forty—Sixth
Congress met at noon Monday. It has been
predicted in some quarters that this is likely
to be a very uninteresting session. Our pre-
diction is right the reverse of this. The dc—
moralizcd condition of the democrats and the
united and hopeful state of the republican
members, will surely lead to many exciting
debates and the introduction of much unique
legislation. At this writing no polidy is forc-
shadowed on either side, but as the republi—
cans are in a minority in both Houses, they
have little else to do than look on as interest-
ed spectators to see the democrats dash them-
st-lvt s t. D pieces. The Southern wing of the
ma}, airy will he restiVe and indignant under
the imputation that they have caused the
democratic reverses, and a Southern member
never loses an opportunity to “rise and ex—
plain." A portion of their party are for a
protective t will and a larger number are
averse to it. Portions are for unlimited sil—
ver and unlhnitcd greenbacks. A more con
crvativc portion adhere to the old Jacksoni—
an and J eliersonian gold standards. There
is no unity of sentiment among the various
sections of the democracy and there can be
no harmonious action on the vital questions
of legislation certain to be introduced. That
- the republicans are sure to watch and profit
by these conditions is inevitable. The great-
est source of weakness to our opponents is
the fact that they have no one of such con-
ceded ability as to rise up and marshal and
lead their forces. The rcpublicanshavc many
most able and alert leaders whose brains are
in their cooler heads. The democrats are so
handicapped that there is but one possible
way for them to win popular approval and
that is, to abondon all further attempts to
shape their legislative action forthe sole pur-
pose of aiding their party and honestly en-
deavor to act for the best interests of the
country. This they have neither the sense
of- patriotism to do, and so will utterly fail of
restoring themselves in the confidence of the
people and must inevitably go to the wall in -
thc impending Presidential strive. But
they will as frantically struggle for deliver-
ance as drowning men and their performan-
ces this winter will be unprecedently grotes—
que and interesting. The paramount question
of specie resumption the republicans have
put beyond the power of the democratic ma-
jority to upstt, and we may well look on
with hopeful assurance that the great labor
and business interests of the nation will
stand by us and ensure us another Presiden-
victory. The House is now complete, the
seven’ vacancies which existed during the ex-
tra session having been filled by the election
of three democrats and' four republicans.
The democrats have a majority of seven over
all. ‘l‘o make this they count 150 democrats,
132 republicans and 11 nationals.

Obituary.
Death has again invaded another of our
old and prominent Nor-walk families.
Joseph Isaacs Lynes, son of the late Samuel
Lynes, died on Friday last at the old Judge
Isaacs homestead and the childhood home of
his mother, as well as of himself. Mr.
Lyncs has been a comparative invalid for
many years, yet since the death of his father
he has quietly and unostentatiously managed
the large real estate interests inherited by
the family. It was due to his enterprise
that our Opera House was reconstructed out
of the former unpretentious Lynes’ Hall.
He has beena great and frequent sufferer
from rheumatism, but his death resulted
from a sudden and severe cold running into
pneumonia. His death will be a severe
blow to the aged and widowed mother,
whose only surviving son he was, and to the
wife and two fat-herlcss babes he leaves be—
hind. , ’
Patrick Ford, Co. A, 17th Conn. Vols,
known as (“half-past five colonel,”) died
last week at Ely‘s Neck. He wasagood
soldier and returned with the regiment.

dence in Brooklyn on Saturday.moming

The M. E. Concert.
The Second M. E. Church was crowded
on Friday evening l.st to listen to the stag-
ing of the St. John street Church Chotr, of
New Haven, who rendered a choice selection
of their tnusic for the benefit of our Metho
dist friends. The singing was excellent ad
was highly enjoyed by an attentive audience;.
Miss Langly also pleased with her spirited
rccitalions. Taken altogether it was, not-
withstanding the rain, a very pleasant occa-
sion, and we trust the quantity of notes
taken in was as satisfactory as the notes given
out. We append a notice of the visit from
thc‘chw‘llaveu Courier.
The Visit to Norwalk and 3. Con-
cert.
The choir of the St. John street M. E,
church of this city assembled yesterday and
went down to Norwalk on the early afternoon
train, accompanied by quite a large party of
members of the church, Hie party numbering
in all about one hundred. They were tnetht
No 1k by the pastor of the 2nd Methodist
church, Rev. Mr. Wing, late pastor of the St.
John street- church hcre,and by other friends.
A rehearsal was held at the church, and in
the evening a concert. was glvcn there by the
New Haven singers. There was a. numerous
attendance and the'occasion was one of much
. interest in the place Prof. Jepson was 1n
charge. The whole New Haven party was
very handsomely entertained by their Nor-
walk friends. The tables were set With good
things shortly after their arrival and again in
the evening. The visitors highly enjoyed the
affair, as well as did their former pastor and
all concerned, and returned home on the
midnight train. The Pumps-Rosa Club
formed a part of the cxcurstontsts. Mr.
Wing is very pleasantly Situated. in Norwalk
with a large congregation, and his people are
very much attached to him. .
Oyster Exportation.
The English demand for Norwalk Oysters
is rapidly increasing, and the trade begins to
assume proportions of some magnitude, with
lively prospects for the future. We are in—
formed that the Hoyt Brothers, city, have
received one order for seven hundred barrels
of oysters for the English market, and that
they intended shipping one hundred barrels
this week on another order. , '
Year after year the Democracy cleverly
play the littlc‘gamc of “you tickle me and
I’ll tickle you” upon the Republicans of the
Borough," but when the game is over the
year a Water Commissioner goes out and a
new member comes in-or rather, strictly
speaking, one of the “old board” is rc-elect-
When the term of the one Republican ex—
pires he is rc—nominated by the Democracy.
Next year, to return the compliment, he
endorses the Democrat to go out as a good
fellow and cflicicnt oflicial and asks to have
him placed on the Republican ticket to make
his election sure. The following year the
term of another Democrat expires and his
name is put on the Republican ticket for the
same reasons. By this means the Republi-
cans are allowed to vote for one of their
number once in three years, and the democ—
racy’s control of this important board is
perpetuated. The position is in no sense a
political one, but when the Democracy strive
so hard to keep the control, the Republicans
'ought to try to elect a majority of the mem-
bers just to see how it would seem. Certainly
there are plenty of Republicans in the
Borough competent. for the position. Mr.
Weeks is a good fellow and a competent
official, but who would think of placing his
name on the Republican Ticket as Borough
Collector,a position he has well filled for
years?
Among the first nominations to be sent to
{he senate will be that of Secretary McCrary
for circuit judge, in place of J udgc Dillon
resigned, and as it is understood, ex-Senator
Ramsey of Minnesota, as Secretary of War
to succeed Gen. MCrary.

i The Youngnpouo Club.
On Friday evening of this week this well
known club of boy singers are to appear at
the Opera House in Pinafore. That the
opera will be well sung is a certainty. The
reputation of this club is unsurpassed and as
they are well known here a good house is a
heard it already, will be only to glad to
hear it again, and as for the few-who have
not we may say that they will never have an
opportunity of hearing it unda' more favor-
able circumstances. Tickets are now on
sale at Wood’s Jewelry store, and at Plais-
teds Drug Store, South Norwalk.
In a letter from Mr. W. F. Williams,
Manager of the Young Apollo Club, to Mr.
Weed, he says: “The‘Pinafore to be given at
your house by the 'oung Apollo Club on
the evening of Friday the 5th is in many of
its features an entire novelty. Besides the
original music of the opera entire there are
a number of selected and original interpola-
tions including two entirely new characters.
Aunt Penelope and Cousin Base with origi-
nal songs. Mr. Marcy the Deadeye has an
entirely new interpolation of the part and is
the leading feature of the opera. The 'prima
donua, Miss Bessie Louise King, is a Boston
artist and the. only lady performer in the
troupe, all the other parts being taken by
the popular boy and young men singers of
the Apolld Club. The troupe has good
costumes and scenery and the opera will be
produced throughout in admirable style.”
An effort is being made in the Center
School District to engage the wellknown
elocutionist, Mrs. Anna Deihl as instruct—
tress for a class in elocution. She will be
remembered as having taught so successfully
a class in South Norwalk last winter. Any
one, scholars or not of the school, can join
the class by leaving their names with the
principal, MnjBlack, who will also give any
further information required. This is a rare
opportunity and should be secured. Those
desiring to join must leave their names
this week.
Manager Knapp has secured for Friday
evening, Dcc. 51b, the famous and original
“Boston Museum Juvenile Pinafore 00.,”
consisting of forty children, their ages rang-
ing from six to fifteen years. This company
has had the largest run in the opera of" H.
M. S. Pinafore of any company in America,
106 consecutive night‘sat the Boston Museum.
The New Haven Journal and Courier has
the following: The little six—year-old mite,
Corinne, who acted as “Buttercup,” is a real
wonder. Her appreciation of the humor and
general sense of the part, together with her
acting is astonishing. Her voice is large and
powerful for such a little tot, and her singing
is correctly done, and altogether she makes
herself the attractive center of the opera.
Miss Ida Mulle, the “Josephine,” has a sweet
voice, and sang and acted in a manner that
would grace one of long experience. Wm.
H. Lee, as “Ralph Rackstraw,” was particu-
larly noticeable for his beautiful soprano
voice, and Master Joseph Keefe, the “Boat—
swain,” brought down the house with his
splendid rendering of “He is an Englishman.”
Master Freddie Bryant, as the “Admiral,”
gave a very correct interpretation of the
character, and Master Eugene, as “Captain
Corcoran," was quite effective. Taken as a
whole no more interesting presentation of
the opera has been given here. '

Zach Chandler’s last Utlcrance.
When the Republican party took the reins
of government we were the derision of the
world. 'We had but one friend—little‘Switz-
crland. Not a nation but hoped and prayed
that the government might be overthrown.
Not a nation poor enough to do you rever~
once. We fought the battle through. We
raised the National dignity and the national
honor, power and strength until today, after
eighteen years of Republican rule, there 18 no
nation on earth strong enough not to do you
reverence. Your credit stands higher than
that of any other nation on the face of the
earth. We saved the national life and the
national honor. Notwithstanding all this,
tberc~arc persons who say that the mission of
the Republican party is ended, and that. it
ought to die. If there ever was a political
organization on the face of the earth which,
so far as future state of rewards and punish—
mcnts is concerned, is prepared to die it 18
that old Republican party, But we ain’t a
going to do it. We have made other arrange-
ments. The Republican party lS the only
party .that ever existed that had not one sma
gle, solitary, unfulfilled pledge left. I defy
its worst enemy to name a single pledge it
ever gave to the people that created it winch
is not to—day a fulfilled and established fact.
If we should die to-day or to-morrow, our
children’s children to the twentieth genera—
tion would boast that their aficcstors belong-
ed to the old Republican party that saved the
nation and wiped slavery from its escutcheon.

BOROUGH ELECTION.
Big Republican Victory for Dem-
ocratic Borough.
Quite a local excitement was created over
our Borough election, the contest centering
mainly on Warden and Collector. The
friends of Mr. Hyatt made a heavy inroad
into the straight Republican ticket and was
elected by a vote of 414 to 289 for Olmstead.
But for this Republican support Mr. Hyatt
could not have been elected, as he, as well as
the candidatefor collectomvas badly scratch-
ed on his own party ticket. This should ad-
monish him that his administration should
be equally non—partizan, and we have no
doubt Mr. Hyatt’s native sagacity will lead
him to thus not for the very best interests of
the tarvpayers of the Borough without respect
to party. Mr. Olmstead had no hand in, or
desire for the nomination, and his friends
having thrust it upon him, against his
knowledge and without consent, should have
stuck to him to a man and thus elected him.
No one doubts that he would have made one
of the best, practical,common-sense Wardens
we ever had.
Republican votes for Collector, but was also
badly and incxcusably, as we think, slaugh-
tered on his own party ticket. He has the
consolation of knowing that he made a fair
and valiant fight and went down with un—
soilcd colors fiying. Mr. Curtis will be new
to the business butwill prove a_faithful and
popular Collector. The ticket is as follows:

Carlysle T. vWeeks, 704
Our democratic friends in imitation of the
example set by the Borough Republican
Committee issued a circular to the electors
urging them to support their candidate for
Warden bec‘ausc he had been “tried,”.and
quotipg the word. Having thus aroused
public curiosity they should have stated
what he had been “tried" for.
Poor “Abe.” If he pcrspired town election
day, be fairly sweat and foamed yesterday.
His loyalty to his master was most sublime
and beautiful, and the odor of his good
works to elect him, will long live inythe dis-
tinct recollections of the borough election
struggle. But. these terrible demands of
statesmanship are beginning to tell on the
constitution of our “colored friend and broth-
er.” No one can long stand the strain which
makes poor “Abe” so stagger under the
weight of Empire. Another such victory
and we fear we shall have to write over the
early grave of poor “Abe” “reguz'escat in
pace.”
It is said that one of the defeated candi—
dates tried to work a lever in his interest
while acting recently as a town ofiicial, but
somehow it didn't exactly seem to work as
anticipated.
The Boston school committee has decided
to try the experiment of industrial educa-
tion. The Herald cordially endorses the at-
tempt, which it regards as one of great in-
terest and promise. The old apprentice
system has passed away, and it is becoming
every day more difficult for a boy to find
an opportunity to learn a trade. The Her—
ald says: .
Of the young men who fill our prisons
and house of correction, not one in ten
has ever learned a trade. Teaching a boy
a. trade by which he can earn a living is cer-
tainly an important part of education, to be
attended to by somebody. If it does not
come within the scope of our public system
of education. let us broaden the system and
take it in. The interest of the State in edu—
cation rests upon the importance of an in—.
telligent citizenship, and teaching a boy a
trade is exactly in that direction. Carrying
common school education beyond the gram-
mar school has been reasonably questioned
by thoughtful people. It is a grave question
whether it is well to provide higher educa-
tion for a few at the public expense; whether
the privileges of a higher education would
not be more highly prized if they cost
something. But industrial education is not
open to this objection. It is for the benefit
of those who most need assistance. If this
experiment shall succeed, as we hope, our
industrial schools will a be more important
part of our system than the high schools ten
years hence. This will be so on condition
that the management shall be ,wise and prac-
tical. After a time industrial schools ought
to be nearly sclf—supportiug—at least, they
should be able to repay, by their products,
the cost of material used. It will probably
be found feasible, as they are developed, to
carry them on in connection with the gram~
mar schools, so that a pupil can use books
half the time and tools the other half. In
this way. head and hands would be trained
together.
If the experiment shall succeed in Boston
other cities will try it. Governor Jewell
was very desirous that Connecticut should
establish a school of the kind. There is no
problem of more serious import to the future
well being of our country than this. The
venerable Thurlow Weed has written car-
uestly upon the subject and given abundant.
warnings of our present ‘cvil system Cf re—
fusing to boys the old-time opportunity of
learning a trade. For years past the prevail-
ing organizations of “Trades Unionr." have
dictated and controlled the matter 0'. appren-
ticeships to such an extent that not one lad
in a hundred could get a chance to learn a
trade if he wished. Hundreds upon hun—
dreds of ruined youths in this country, are
proven by criminal statistics to have led the
downward path because of an utter inability
to learn any occupation. God speed the new
school enterprise, if it shall open a way out
of ouf present alarming evils attendingthc
inability of worthy boys to gain practical
knowledge of some useful occupation.

Celery.
The first Cultivation of any kind of celery
for the Boston market is credited to William
Hill, Esq, of Belmont (formerly a part of
West Cambridge.) 'The plant was shorter
than those known varieties, more brittle, and
had a gloss to it that was not found in any
other variety. Mr. Hill kept the seed of his
celery to himself for several years, to the
great disgust of his neighbor gardeners; but
one man, it appears, as the story goes, was
equal to the occasion. A dealer in vegetables
at the Boylston Market employed a . man, a
stranger, to obtain from Mr. Hill a celery
plant, roots, earth and all,which the 'stranger
wanted to take to Philadelphia. But that
celery plant never went further than Boston.
From this plant sprung the seed which grows
about all the celery raised in the vicinity of
Boston, and which is popularly known as
“Boston Market" celery.

Not infrequently does there come to light
in a large city something which shows how
little of the private life of even well-known
men is disclosed to their associates. At a
recent trial in Brooklyn, in whicha man
prominent fora long time in the political
affairs of that city and well and widely
known, was a defendant, the question was
asked of him whether he was married. He
was universally regarded as a bachelor, no
suspicion had been hinted among his asso-
ciates and friends of his being married, and
the consternation may be imagined when he
replied that he had a wife and a family of
children. It seems almost impossible that
such a mystery could be maintained by any
man constantly before the public, but such
was the case, The only explanation given
in excuse for such deception was that the
girl whom he had married was of a different
religious faith from his own, and his mother
being passionately devoted to her creed,
would never have consented to receive a
“heretic” as a daughteroindaw. For the sake
then, of keeping undisturbed his mother's
affection,the man lived with unacknowledged
ties. Strange are the mysteries of the affec—
tions.

Distilled liquors are a poison, dangerous
and deadly, and of comparatively modern
origin. Their use ‘ is productive of more
disease, physical, mental and moral, than
that of any other known agent, and produces
an immeasurably greater number of untimely
deaths. Their use affects not only the user,
but his progeny to the thirdaud fourth gener-
ation. To license men to sell this poison as
a beverage, under any pretense, is a crime

a paper was read by Dr. Henry A Mott, Jr.,
on “A Fungoid Growth the Cause of Whoop-
ing Cough.” The lecturer began by saying
that the idea is prevalent that whooping
cough must run its course, and if broken up,
injurious effects result. Authorities differ
as to the nature of the disease, and owing to
the different views thken a great variety of
remedies are prescribed. \
In 1871-, Dr. Ludwig Lclziriek began mi-
croscopic investigation as to the cause of the
disease. He showed for the first time that
the phlegm coughed up in the early stages of
the disease contained eliptical—shaped brown-
ish—red fungus spores. This discovery gun
a clew to its true nature,and to a new changes
of treatment. These spores are lodged by
inflection under the tongue, where they
remain until they germinate and spread along
the sides of the tongue and backward until
they reach the laruyx and pharnyx. When
the growth has extended thus far, the full
whoop is established. Small elevations or
lumps can be seen under the tongue before
the patient begins whooping. The time re-
quired for the germination of the sporesis
from nine to fifteen days, varying in difierr
cut persons. Dr. Letzcriek proved his theo—
ry by introducing spores into the trachia of
young rabbits in which he produced all the
symptoms of the disease. As quinine
readily kills all fungus plants, it is found to
be an efficient remedy, the speaker said. In
administering this the immediate result is
good, the patient usually not whooping more
than once a day. The best way to adminis—
ter it is to place a powder upon the tongue
and let it gradually dissolve, but as children
object to the bitter taste it can be given in
other ways, but always so as to be dissolved
in the mouth. '

Jim Nash has had lots of fun with John
Ferris at the club for the past two weeks,
about selling, to what has turned out to be a
crazy man in Stamford, a cargo of coal.
It seems John promised to deliver the party
a cargo of coal, and he was to receive pay
for it when deliycrcd, and the party to pay
half of the freight, before it was delivered.
The party paid the freight as agreed, and
the coal arrived at the wharf in Stamford.
John had in the meantime heard that the
party was' not all right, and as usual, re—
paired to his bosom friend Jim for informa-
tion and advice, realizing that he knew
everything. He stated his case, Jim laugh—
ed, why he says, “That man used to be our
engineer at our store in New York, why he
is crazy, I thought you was a business man,
John, you will loose the ,whole cargo." At
this, John took the first train to Stamford
and had the unloading stopped, but was the
looser of about 20 tons ’of coal. Ever since
‘ that time, Jim has not given John any peace
about it. One night .at a meeting of the
club, Jim made it so hot for him, that he
could stand it no longer. and he belched
forth with all his eloquence, and said:
“Gentlemen of the' Old Hen 'Club, I can’t
stand this any longer, I will show you what
I can do. You have known me only as a
detective in this town at the present time,
but I will have you understand that I have
been before the “bar,” (at this all the club
cried out, before whgse bar, John I) when he
replied, “the bar of justice." Why gentle-
men, I have made the State of Jersey quake,
with my eloquence. I have moved Judge
and Jury to tears, I won my case, and I will
win this one, wait my friends and see! At
this, Jim ceased to irritate him, and the club
was dumb founded. We wait for further
particulars.

ture about it is, what is the great army of

free expression to their wisdom and superior

introduce [them to the club as living de-
moustrators of true temperancemhich he did
nicely, in speaking of them to the club, he
said "that the Old Hens were the first tem—
perance organizatim formed in this city,"
and spoke of them in the‘highest terms.
We suppose their will be no going with them

teresting, and everything seems to move

He got already, his gun was in good order,
he had a good supply of powder, shot and
caps, and a pocket full of money, (which we
understand is very essential with Mat, when
he goessportiug.) He took the Dunbury train
on Monday, arrived on the ground in due
time, but there was no {game to be seen or
Mat couldn’t shoot it, we don’t know which
but we know that he was determined not to
return home without some game. He plod
around the woods for three days, and as he
says he didn't get a shot. finally he came
across a fence, and ,as it so happened was
on the Shepaug Railroad, here he determin-
ed to sit and watch the trains as they
passer to jsee if he could not see some one
on th in with some game, if so, he was
determined to run for the train and buy the
game and return with it to the Old Hen
Club. But he was doomed, he sat there
three days and two nights and did not see a
feather of any kind. So he returned home,
but he; has not been seen on the streets or at
the Club since.
LITTELL'S Lrvmo Ace For: .1880.—The
fact that this standard weekly magazine has
had a successful career of over thirty—five
years against. much competition, is proof
sufficient that it meets an undoubted want to
the public. It furnishees what is essential
to American readers in a great and indispen.
sible current literature—a literature which
embraces more and more every year the
work (if the ablest thinkers and writers of the
day.‘ As the only satisfactorily complete
and fresh compendium of this literature, its
' importance and value have steadily increas-
ed. It; enables the reader, at trifling expense
considering the quantity and quality of the
reading- furnished, to keep pace with the
best thought and literary work of our time;
and its great convenience to every intelligent
person i or family can therefore hardly be
over-rated. ~
To all new subscribers for 1880 will haunt
gratis those numbers of 1879 which contain
the first'cbtflners of “He WHO WILL NOT wan
m: MAY," a new story by'Mra. thhant, now
appearing in the Living Age from advance
sheets. The magazine is well worth the at-
tentiongof those who are selecting their read-
ing for ,the new year. As the multitudes of
periodicals increases more and more beyond
the means and leisure of readers, the value of
such a .jcompreheusivo . one as this becomes
more and more apparent. ,

FAIBFIELD DISTRICT.
In compilinga notice of the members of
Congress from the State of Connecticut we
desire to especially designate those who sev-
erally, from time to tim‘e,represeutcd the
territory now embraced in the present Fourth
Congressional District, namely, Fairfield and
Litchficld counties, but the data, as found in
the legislative records, do not. furnish the
required facilities; no distinction being made
as to the counties composing districts, until
a comparatively recent period. We are
therefore, deprived of the pleasure of pre-
senting our readers such line of Representa—
tives, distinctively, as pertains especially to
.our own Fourth Congressional District.
Our information is principally taken from
the Congressional Directory, which ’did not
begin to give the biographies of members
until the Thirty—eighth Congress,from which
time we commence the line of members of
of the United States House of Representa—
tives to the present time, togtther with the
names of the sections of the State composing
the several Districts. ' ’
In the first Congress, begurrMarch 4, 1779,
and ended March 3, 1781, there were five
Representatives from Connecticut, namely,
Benjamin Huntington, Roger Sherman, Jon-
athan Trumbull, and Jeremiah Wadsworth.
The number of members in the fourth
Congress was nine, and the number varied in
succeeding congresses. In the Sixteenth
Congress, for the first time, the name of
the Congressional ~Districts appeared, and
Gideon Tomlinson was credited to “Fairfield
District," and so likewise in the Seventeenth,
Eighteenth. and Nineteenth Congresses. In
the list of members of the Twentieth, Con-
gress the name of Fairfield disappears,
there beluga change of district. Mr. Tom—
linson was born in Stratford, December 31,
1780, and graduated at Yale College in 1802.
He studied law and practiced the profession
at Fair-field. He was then called to public
life, and in 1818 was chosen aRepresentative
in Congress, in which office he was continued
till 1827. That year he was chosen Governor
of Connecticut and remained in that position
till March, 1831, when on being appointed a
Senator of the United States he resigned his
ofilceas Governor. After six years service
he returned to private life and died at
Fairfield, October 8, 1854.
In the Twenty—first Congress appears the '
name of Jabez W. Huntington, of Litchfield.
He was born in Norwich, November 8, 1788;
and graduated at Yale College in 1806. He
studied law at Litchfield, and commenced to
practice there, where he remained thirty
years. In 1828 he was elected to the State
Legislature,and in 1829 was a Representative
in Congress, which dfiice be filled until 1834,
when he removed to Norwich and became a
judge of'the Supreme Court ,of Errors, and
was chosen a judge of the Superior Court of
his State. He was a Senator in Congress
from 1840 until his death, which occurred
November, 1, 1847.
In the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh
Congresses appear the names of Thomas B.
Osborne, with “Fairfield” attached and that—
of Truman Smith, of Litchficld. Mr. Os-
borne was born in Connecticut and served
two terms in the House of Representatives.
Mr. Smith was born in Roxbury, Litchfield
County, November 27, 1791, and graduated
at Yale College in 1815; studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1818; was elected to;
the State Legislature in 1831 and re-elected
in 1832 and 1834; in- 1839 he was elected a
Representative in Congress, re-elected in
1841, 1845 and 1847; in 1849 he took his seat
in the United States Senate for a full term of
six years, resigning in 1854.'~ He subsequent-
ly engaged in the practice of his profession in
the city of New York, and now enjoys a
cheerful old age, residing at Stamford.
, Thomas B. Butler, of Norwalk, succeeded
Hon. Truman Smith and was our Represent-
ative from the Fourth District, from 1849 to
1851. He was born in Wcthersficld in 1807.
was educated a physician and subsequently a
lawyer. Served in the Connecticut Legisla-
ture and was elected Chief Justice of the
State.
In the Twenty—eighth Congress we lose
sight of the distinctions of Fairfield and
Litchfield, and find Samuel Simona with
“Bridgeport" after his name although repre-
gentiug this District. He served in Congress
from 1843 to 1845, and died iuBridgeport
January 13, 1847, aged 55 years.
“Litchfield"does not appear again until
the Thirty-second Congress, when the dis—
trict was represented by Origen S. Seymour,
was born in Litchfield, bred a lawyer, had
been in our State Legislature, and served as
Superior Court Judge in 1850, and was a
Representative in‘Congress from Connecticut
