A facetious writer avers that our last, was
the most important Christmas anniversary-
ever witnessed on earth, because there were
never before so many children to enjoy it.
In a more serious sense, we believe the first
avcrment-to be true. We never have seen
so generals preparation in church and shop
and family, as presaged the Christmas of
1879. By a sort of common impulse and
that tender touch of nature which makes
the whole world kin, the promptings' and
preparations for Christmas giving seemed to

seem-3d impatitnt to renew their own youth
and child heart, in doing something to pro-
mote the merry—making of, the little ones.
Our shopmen, the vendors of trilets and
toys, of candies and candles—“the butcher,
the halter and candlestick maker,” all recog—
nized this unusual and gratifying impulse of
Christmas giving, in most substantial pecu-
niary retuins. The very atmosphere seemed
surcharged with the inspirations of the song
of the angels to the shepherds on the plains
of Judca,ringing~out the anthem—“Peace
on Earth, Good Will to Men.” Probably.
the hands. of charity to the poor, so
widely thrown open, and never did so
many prove how much more blessed it is to
give than to receive. All joyful Christmas 1
Wonderful day. Congress and Courts and
schools, you the whole world takes vacation.
The mill ceases its hum, the forge puts out
its fires, the people put on holiday attire, and
all seemed to wear “Merry Christmas” in
heart, face, eye and lip. And as one and
another went about giving little heart tokens,
perhaps to some poor child or woman in dis.
tress, did all realize that in so doing. they
were making best recognition of that 'Divine
love that was made incarnate eighteen cen-
turies ago, and that links humanity with
God. _
{Postmaster Olmstead during his whole
nineteen years-of official service never saw
such an avalanche of parcels, packages and
mail freight as innundatcd him for two‘or
three day prior to the Christmas festival.
There mus have been a full dray load of such
gift material awaiting delivery the day before
Christmas.
In the New York City ofilcc, over forty
tons of second-class mail matter was sent out
on the day and evening of the 24th. What
'a miraculous increase cheap postage has
wrought in the national carrier system.
Mr. Jacob Turk, very thoughtfully and
kindly made a.collection about the Bridge for
two destitute and deserving families, the lib.—
cral result ofwhich,mnst have sent a gleam of
Christmas cheer into their darkened homes.
Mr. E. K. Lockwood, with most praisewor—
thy generousity started ‘a liberal subscription
which was heartily secdnded, for the purpose
of providing some Christmas' “goodies" for
the little children at the aims house. The.
hearts of these poor little waifs were more
than made good by this timely benefaction.
Surely if there be any lesson taught us by
the Saviour’s lowly birth, it is a wiping out
of all feeling of superiority among men, be-
cause of Wealth, accident of hirth',or rauk,nr
station. In His humblcness of life .are the
poor raised up. , - ‘ r
The Adams Express Co., probably never
did a. bigger weeks work. Lester Hunt their
ever cbliging and popular driver was at work
early and late distributing his Christmas
gift packages down to late in the, evening of
the 25th. N 0 one could have blamed him
had he rejoiced that “Christmas comes but
onces year."

Capitol Employees.
Since the Democrats came into undisputed
possession of the Senate they have had any-
thing but apleasant time in the dismissal of
the old and tried employees and filling their
places with new and inexperienced men of
the unterrified and ex-Confedcrate order.
'Aside from the friction always and inevitably
‘attendant upon a wholesale sweep of subor-
dihates, well experienced in their various
duties, there has been the greatest chafiing
_ and most intense bickering and growling be—
cause one senator has chanced to squeeze in
one ,doorkeeper or little page more than an-
other. Many of the old Democratic employ-
> ees the Republicans had kept in wereas
ruthlessly kicked out as the most stalwart
radical: So general was the row over the
alleged partialities in the new appointments
that the grave and— reverend senators repre—
senting the great Democratic party of the
ndtion, had to convene incaucus where they
wrangled and fought over the august and
momentous question as to whether‘the Ser-
geant at Arms hadn't given more patronage
to the senator from Spedunk than to his next
"neighbor, and yet these dignified senatorirl
solons are not happy. There is one thing the
Republican party ought to insist upon and
'that is that every worthy man turned- out of
- the Capitol for being a Republican, should
immediately be given the place held by
' the scores upon scores of less worthy Demo,
crats in the Washington departments. Con—
necticut has shared with other states in these
political removals, and one case is just now
very justly claiming the active interest of her _
Republican delegation in Congress. Mr.
Wm. B. Kimball, for fourteen years a care—
:‘ul, competent and unusually expert practi-
cal engineer inthc employ of the Hartford,
i'rovidencc and Fishkilll’Railroad, was in
tiuccd to accept the position of..assrstant'
.t-ngineeriu the heating and ventilating dc.
partment of the Senate, and remove to
Washington with his family. He was the
only legacy left in the Senate by.our. two
dead, patriot senators—Buckingham and
Ferry—land the appointee was worthy the
high endorsement of these two noble men..
Nevertheless, Kimball _was thrust out in
order to give his place to a Democrat. His
ability and fidelity all concede, and we are
glad to say that Senator Piatt and Represen —
tativc Wait are determined he shall have a
chance to provide for his-family even if it be
necessary to remove some upreconstructed
rebel from the departments to make a place
for him. ' -
Last Sabbath morning the Rev. Mr. Ham-
lton reviewed the six years of his ministry
with the 1st Church of Norwalk.
In this time there have been added to the
church on profession of faith, 102; by‘letter
84, total 186. The removals by death, dis—
mission, &c., 74. The net gain of members,
exclusive of the Mission Church, during this
period, 'is 112. The total membership at the
present time 509. The benevolences of the
church meantime have amounted to nearly
$15,000- the current expenses -to $24,000,
and expenses for debt and repairs upwards of
$18,000. Total, including benevolences $57,-
000. The amount disbursed during the year
1879, for current expenses, debt, and benev—
olences is $8,500. The annual dividends
and rents on the pews have more than met
the current expenses.

set forth the evils of the system, and he was
followed by Mr. J. Tammany, also of Nor-

the unfair and impolitie methods in vogue of

tion with the manufactures of non—criminal

The custom of receiving and making New

usual. ' We hear of ladies making prepara-
tions to receive, and gentlemen preparing to
call, and all anticipating much pleasure.
There seems to be a growing tendency among
the ladies for several to combine and receive

AochnxT.———Mr. ,Waltcr Fitch in loading
up stone in a side hill lot, near his residence
on the Westport road, had a narrow escape
from a most serious accident. ‘His horses
started suddenly around, and cramped the
fore-wheel under the wagon, so as to over—
turn thc load upon Mr. Fitch. His shoulders
chest and spine were quite seriously confused,
but we are glad to say that his recovery now
seems fully assured. ' '
The Buffalo Express, of Dec. 19th, highly
cxtolls the liberality of Mr. Benjamin Fitch,
of Darien, for the gift to their city of a. $20,-
000 house and lot for the purpose of a Home
or Creche, for indigent women and children.
The Express thus concludes :-.—'
Of Mr. Fitch‘s unsolicited and noble gene-
rosity we can only speak in .the terms of
warmest praise. The circumstances ' and
riature of the gift will ever keep his memory
green in the hearts of Buffalonians, and as
the proposed institution will undoubtedly be
ivcn the name of the Fitch Creche, it will
stand a lasting monument to its distinguished
and philanthropic patron. This is by no
means the first of Mr. Fitch’s good-deeds.
Being a man of large me'ans and earnest
sympathy for his less fortunate fellow crea—
tures, he has performed innumerable acts of
charity. Some time .ago he founded and
endowed a home for soldiers’ orphans at
Noroton, Conn, where a great many boys
and girls have found a home and have been
educated. He is a sensible philanthropist,
and declares his intention of distributing his
charitable bequests before his death in order
to avoid the too common post moitem litiga-
tion and delays.
Mr. Fitch has just completed a work of
thorough -rcnovation and repair of his Fitch’s
Home at Norotou, at a cost of several 'thou—
sand dollars. As the special purpose of Mr.
Fitch in making this a home for soldiers’
orphans has practically transpired by lapse
of time, why will not Mr. Fitch perpetuate
this noble charity by offering it to the State
to be used as a retreat for the insane of our
County? ' There is a pressing and present
need of some such benefaction.

O
English Opera.
. The Oakes English Comic Opera Company,
with Mrs. Alice Oates at the head, will ap—
pear at the Opera House next week Tuesday
evening, J anuar’y 6th. Mrs. Oates has an es—
tablished reputation, and her name will prob-
ably draw out a large audience, for it is but
selddm she condescends to visit N orwalk.
'The Opera to be presented is “Le Petit Due”
-——thc Little Duke in plain English. An ex—_
change says :—“It is perhaps one of ~the'best
impersonations that Mrs. Oates has given us‘
of late years, and she was in excellent voice
last week, singing most of the time as well as
ever. She seem to have improved much by
rest, and her voice has retained much of its
purity of tone and some of the clearncss and
sweetness that were once its distinguishing
qualities. The support, on the whole was
excellent.” .
_ The Walking match.
There was quite a good audience in attend-
ance at the Opera House on Christmas eve
and day, to witness the speed and endurance
of a half—score of walkers. The favorite
seemed to be Charles Oakcs, of South
Norwalk, and he really did very well,
as didaleo young Perry of Redding, who
eventually won second place. Oakes for a
portion of the time made better record than
had previously'r'bcen made in any match. He
completed 100 miles in 19 hours and then re-
tired for an hour’s rest; returning he added
five more miles to his score, and then 21
hours from the first starting gave up for good
and left the track. He was,soou_followcd
'by all of the others, and thus the tournament
was brought to an end about 8 o’clock.
Some left the track early in the day, others
ploddcd on until they, broke down and were
taken away by friends. Towards the close
much interest was manifested in the strife of
Gordon, Hartwick,and Mullins. The .record

which the children formed in procession and
marched to the tomb of the late lamented
D'r. Mead, where they deposited an evergreen
:crcss. This toutcbing scene over they march-
ecl into the Sunday Schoolroornwhcrc the air
was full of Xmas merriment,. and surprises
were in store. One new featurcwas the ar-
rival of a uni-formed crew with a._ large boat
decked with flags and loaded with daintics
for: the children, whiclf'were distributed lav;-
ishly. Another delightful feature was. the
appearance of “Santa Claus” with presents
for the infant class. His “make up” was after
the approved style, and his presence charmed
the little ones, While his personality was. at
first a mystery to. all until his voice betrayed
the kindly tones of G. Ward Selleck. While
the children feasted, two faithful teachers
were kindly remembered—Miss Lizzie Hoyt
receiving a picture of Dr. Mead in a velvet
frame, and Mischlen Lockwood a silver
napkin ring. The entertainment gave ‘un-
bounded pleasure. Christmas Eve services
at St. Paul‘s attracted a large audience.
At the First Congregational C urch, a
festival for the children was held on brist-
mas evening, which was well attended. The
pastor, Rev. Mr. Hamilton, conducted the
services, Mr. Gibson presiding at the organ
and leading the choir. An evergreen arch
was erected in front of the pulpit, witha
large star of gas jets suspended therefrom,
with festoons beneath, and a Christmas tree
lighted with candles on each side. The ser-
vices consisted of Responsivc‘ Readings,
singing by the children and by the choir, an
address by the Pastor, &c., all of which
.were exceedingly pleasing. uThe gem of the
evening was a solo by Mrs. Wilson, and.
chorus by the choir. The exercises closed
with the distributionpf oranges, candies, etc.
The Second Methodist church people had
a fine time at their festival on Christmas
evening. Mr. G. P. Adams, ,Supt.'o! the
”Sunday School, assembled the children at 6
o’clock, and commenced the exercises at 65.
The choir opened with ”Shout the Glad
Tidings,”~ the Pastor following in Prayer.
The school then sung “Break forth into
Song,” after which there were rccitations'by
Eddie Moréhouse, Lottie Coley, Fred Hill,
Harry Cooper, Wilber Wing, Willie Coley,
Nettie Rice, Willie Lounsbury, _Hattie Coley,
Sadie Lounsbury and Eddie'Stantou. Sev—
eral songs were sung by the scholars, and a
solo by Master Louis Price with chorus by
the (their was specially pleasing. The choir
closed with-“Glory to God,” after which Mr.
Adams announced a selection by Rev. Mr.
Wing. That gentleman's surprise could be'
seen by the expression of his eyes, but Mr.
Adams surprised him in a still more surpris-
ing manner by presenting him with an ele—
gant silver tilting ice pitcher with goblet.
Then Mr. Wing recovered sufficiently to
retaliate by surprising Mr. Adams with
another fine ice pitcher, a gift from the offi-
cers and teachers. which he greatly prizes.
Then the faithful janitor, Theo- _Elwood for
whom all speak a good word,was made happy
by the presentation of an envelope con-
taining ten dollars. Another present for Mr.'
Adams,a handsome book, from his former
class,No. 15, was still another happy incident.
The church was handsomely decorated, and
much credit is accorded Mr. Henry Chas:-
m'ar, chairman of the committee, for the
manner in which the arrangements, were’
made. The praise of choristcr Henry Price
is also in every month for his devoted ser-
vice's on this and all" other occasions since
taking the lead of. the choir. -Mr. Adams
has proved a devoted superintendent, and
during the two years he has held the posi—
tion has been absent but one day when he
was absent on committee 'duty for the
church, and invariably been present at the
opening of the school. The school for two
years has had an average attendance of 250.
Festivals were also held at the Congrega—
tional, Baptist.and Methodist churches, city,
Christmas. evening, and at Trinity church,
city, Friday afternoon.

efforts have been appreciated, and it is the
the wish of most all our tax payers that the

we might speak of is the sewers from the

Haverley’s Chicago Church Choir Company
gave athoroughly good performance of Pine-

The orchestra, ten pieces, was decidedly the

stronger than usual. The leading characters
were generally well taken, Little Buttercup

rather detracted. Altogether it was a remark-
canse to be proud of this-body of gentlemen. >
Conirecticnt needs more accommodation for
its insa'nc poor. .There is great opposition
in the medical faculty against increasing the
dimensions of the Middletown - Asylbm,
already too large, as they assert, and the
facilities for building, equipping and running
such an institutiop in our neighborhood, are
nowhere excelled.
The “Cottage Plan," as more economical,
simploand effective should be adopted—A
plan which ensures a larger per centsge of
cures, and has the support of many of the
most eminent physicians of our' day who
have made the care of the Insane a life study.
The recent public meeting at Cooper Insti-
tute, New York, was an indication of the
feeling of some of our public men in favor of
a reform in the management of these institu—
tions. and since our State Legislature proba-
bly ‘- will again be besieged at the coming
session, as it was at the last session of the
Legislature, for a ‘large appropriation for
additional buildings, there is no good reason
why a better plan and another part of the
State should not assert their claims. So we
say push ahead the proposal for an asylum in
Fairfield County. V.

.Mullings Bros, city, have just turned out
a family carriage for Mrs. Dr. Pardee, which
in style'and finish certainly surpasses anything
in the carriage line ever attempted here in
Norwalk. In the upholstering and trimming
the workmanship is not only first-class but
evinces very rare taste in the beautiful and
unique designs. introduced. I The Mailings
