Editorial Letter.

“WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1880.
DEAR GAZETTE :— _ ‘

The Senate after its. exhaustive} session
since last Monday of about two hours a day,
adjourned from Thursday last till Monday
next, as has been the practice of that august
body so far this session. The more industri-
ous House, after having spent one night ses-
sion in listening to their invited_ guest, Par—
nell,discourse upon Ireland’s political wrongs
and present need of bread, and another
night session in funeral oratory, adjourned
from Friday to Monday. It is to be presum--
ed that a satisfactory amount of detail work
has been done by the various committees at
both ends of the Capitol, but in the open
sessions of either House there appears to be
a wholesome dread Of that “stalking forth to
the front,” manifested so conspicuously at
the extra session. The dominant party in
both Houses are on their good behavior and
have carefully avoided the consideration of
all irritating and political subjects. In the
Senate, Thursday, when it was agreed to “go
to the calendar,” about the first thing struck
was the “interference with the elections bill,”
but a handy rule which "carries over” every-
thing by one objection, easily let our friends
out of the pit into which they had uncon—
sciously fallen. Friday was “private bill
day” in the House, and yet it came the near-
est to launching an angry political wrangle
of any session yet. One John Owens, of
Virginia, presented a petition for a removal
of his political disabilities, and in the body
of his petition he referred to the late “un-
pleasantncss” in which he had borne an active
part, as “the war of the Confederacy” in-
stead of following the usual form of such
petitions and denominating it the “war of
the rebellion.” Mr. Conger, of Michigan,
took exceptions to this diluted phraseology.
which brought the chivalric Goode, of Vir—
ginia, to his feet in bitter denunciation of the
lack of the northern unforgiveness of spirit.
He warmly asserted that while it has been
the practice of Congress to require every
person to make an application for relief in
respectful terms, no form of petition had
been prescribed. He said it seemed to him
too late, fifteen years after the war, to take
a departure and make a man write himself
down as traitor or rebel with his own band,
and get down in the dust and cry unclean,
before a great Government would consider
his petition for removal of political disabili-
ties. - .-

Mr. Conger met Mr. Goode’s argument and
asked why the petitioner came here, if not
to say he had been engaged in rebellion
against his Government and ask to have his
political disabilities removed. Has it come
to this, that there is a statute of limitation
on rebellion and treason? said Mr. Conger.
Why not let every man come and say that he
has been engaged in the late “unpleasant—
ness"? The House had too often heard these
rose-colored names for rebellion to have them
reprinted in the public records. There was
a constant effort being made on the Demo-
cratic side of the House to incorporate in the
literature of the House smooth—sounding
words for rebellion, treason and insurrection,
until, if any one used the good, old—fashion-
ed words he was immediately rebuked. He
thought these remarks would call the atten—
tion of the people and the soldiers of the
North to forget all the dismal, horrible past,
and smooth it all over by the application of a
new kind of literature in the proceedings of
the House.

These strong remarks of Mr. Conger
brought Messrs. Young of Tennessee, Ellis
of Louisiana, and Goode of Virginia, to their
feet for a reply, but Fernando Wood, seeing
that his party friends were losing their tem-
per and were likely to precipitate a danger—
ous and bitter debate, objected to any further

discussion, and the bill was passed under
party pressure.

There is a seething volcano beneath the
surface which awaits only the slightest opor-
tunity to burst forth and exhibit to the nation
the same unrepentant disloyalty to the Gov-
ernment of the Union that was so boldly and
unreservedly expressed at the extra session.
The leopard has not changed its spots one
iota, but the same feelings, purposes and re —
sentments that fired the Democratic heart in
1861 still smoulder, and no policy of repres-
sion on the part of cunning leaders can keep
them from flashing up into the face and eyes
of loyalty, on the slightest provocation.

TILE cnusns.

This prevailing antagonistic temper is just
now finding vent in a lively “row within
the party” of the Georgia delegation. Sena-
tor Bcn Hill and Representative Alexander
II. Stephens are for a certain man for Census
Supervisor for Georgia. Senator Gordon and
Representative Hammond bitterly oppose the
selection. On Friday a very lively “family
row” was precipitated upon the Cdnsus Com-
mittee by the aforesaid parties. The latter
faction declared that. the nominee was illiter-
ate and incapable, while Hill and Stephens
“denied the allegation and defied the allega—
tor" with scornful indignation. . Many bitter
things were said pro and con, and good may
come of this Kilkeuny fight among the un—
regenerate, on the principle that when rogues
fall out honest men get their dues. The most
serious fear is that this silly attempt to select
a nonpartisan corps of census Officials by
dividing the same among pronounced Repub-
licans and Democrats in all the states, will
bewitch the whole service and result in an

utterly false and unreliable enumeration.

Senator Eaton had planted himself squarely
upon the solid foundations of Democratic
usage - and self assertion in regard to the
Connecticut appointees. The Senator is
"nobody’s spring chicken," and can forecast
the extreme needs of his party, of putting
all the “home missionaries" in the field, it is
possible to get commissioned, if he is to have
any chance of being his own successor in
1881. It is true our Republican Governor
has aided and abetted the Senator’s desires to
a most disheartening extent, in his recent
non-partizan appointments, yet this but on-
courages our opponents to demand all the
more, so the Senator has insisted that he
should have one of the two supervisors or
else neither should be confirmed. On purely
party principlesthe Senator was right. At
all events he was “master of the situation,”
and we have yet- to record an instance when
alive Democrat yields any point of advan—
tage to his party. Pending this deadlock
our friend Sam. Fessenden most opportunely
appeared here in the character of a diplomat
and compromiser. He proposed to the Sen-
ator that he allow both our supervisors, as
sent in to the Senate, to be confirmed, that a
fair and equitable f‘divvy” should be made
in appointing the local enumerators through—
out the State. This met the approval of
Senator Platt, and was backed up by leading
Democrats in Connecticut: Thus Fessenden‘s
apt “resources of statesmanship” made an
easy way out of the difliculty which threat—
ened the ultimate success of both our nomi-
nees for supervisors.

' runsmEN-IIAL.

Much interest was felt over the struggle
in Pennsylvania for the selection of delegates
to Chicago. It was to_outside view a sort Of

.nip and tuck race between Grant and Blaine.
Those who profess to know the “true in~
wardness" of the contest say that it was
really a strife for personal leadership, and
that the various votes and expressions of the
delegates do not clearly define the status of
the Keystone State in the next convention.
It is believed that Chairman Don Cameron is,
deep 'down in his boots, but a little more of
a Grant man than he is a_ Blaine man, and
even should it: eventuate that a “dark horse"
must he introduced upon the presidential
track, he would smilingly jump upon the
back of his wife’s “Uncchohn” and ride to
victory with the"‘most cheerful alacrity”
and without one single pang of regret. In
matters of his own State’s political manage-
ment, however, he proposes to continue

Chieftain whenever the Republican troops
are ordered out. In his justification it may
be said from a partizan standpoint that the
Cameron control in the politics of his
State has invariably been'patriotic and wise
and ensuring his supremacy and success.
POLITICAL INVESTIGATION.

Senator Wallace’s Investigating Committee
left for New York Thursday evening, to re-
advertise "little Johnny Davenport." These
periodical investigations magnify the impor—
tance of Davenport far more than either he
or his friends could do and thus far have
“panned out" a heavy loss to the democracy.
The last time “Johnny" was hauled over here
he brought about a peck measure full of pho-
tographs of the most hardened looking vil-
lains, whose faces adorn the Rogues’ Gallery,
in New York, a_nd these, with the man's rec-
ord as burglar, forger, panel thief, pick-pock-
et, &c., &c., Davenport proceeded to testify
was in every instance a “democratic repeat-
er." The democratic investigators soon lost
stomach for this sort of exhibit and now pro;
pare to hunt out something in and around
New York for themselves.

IioN. Rosn cLARx.

Rush Clark, a member of the House from
Iowa, who died very suddenly at the Extra
Session last April, was honored by the cus-
tomary tributes in House and Senate on
Tuesday last. Senator Platt, who accompan-.
ied the remains to his sepulchre at Iowa City,
paid a very feeling and touching tribute to
his memory.

There is a constant demand for the 2d vol-
ume of “HALL’s ARTIO EXPEDITON," which
we are sorry to say cannot be supplied ex —
cept at the government cost price of $2 per
volume. Millions of the'people’s money is
expended in the printing of utterly useless
documents, but when a work like this is isu-
ed and others that the public really want and
ought to have, there are next to none to be
had save at the cost of publication. Mr.
Miles, Of our district, has already paid out
of his own pocket several hundred dollars
for books and publications to gratify the
wishes of earnest applicants, who no doubt
suppose they may be had fer the asking.
The same facts exist as to the several vol—
umes of the U. S. Revised Statutes and the
Medical History of the War

MC. GARRAIIAN CLAIM.

This famous claim has been again “settled"
by an order of Secretary Schurz to have a
patent issued to the New Idra Mihing Co.
Thisis probably the most curious and most
celebrated case ever before Congress, > For
more than twenty years pOor McGaI-rahan,
without money, with but few friends, and
nothing but an Irishmnn’s pluck, has been
knocking at the doors Of Congress for jus—
tice. Probably no case has been so persis-
tently and corruptly misrepresented. The
New Idra Company have meantime been in
possession of the mine with receipts averag-
ing over a million of dollars annually, it is
claimed. Certainly it has had the ablcst and
most influential of counsel and newspapers,
to champion its side of the controversy.
From the vastness of the evidence and the
endless pages of testimony, it is doubtful if
more than one Congressman ever took the
time and expended the needed patience to
exhaustively dig down to the foundation of
this “celebrated case.” That one was our
late Senator Ferry. He spent months of time
upon it, as a member of the Senate sub-com-
mittee to whom it was referred. He became
deeply interested in its astounding revelations
of personal, and official, and legal'corruptions;
its criminations and re-criminations of the
lowest subordinates to the highest officials of
our courts and government. Affidavits and
counter affidavits, to an almost limitless ex.
tent are in the case, charging the most aston—'
ing perjuries, falsifications and mutilations of
proofs, and the cutting out and destruction of
entire pages of ofiibial records. We doubt if
the general public has ever had so little real
information concerning any claim ever pre—
sented to Congress. The conclusion Senator
Ferry reached, was, that McGarrahan had in
equity a title to the disputed mines, but
if ' there was any question as to the own.-
ership, then clearly and unmistakably it was
the property of the United States and not of
the New Idra Mining Company. There-are
some singular coincidences in the history of
the case. The moment Attorney General
Black left the cabinet of James Buchanan, he
was retained by the New Idea 00. as its at-
torney here, and as soon as Secretary Evarts
left the cabinet Of Andrew Johnson as his
Attorney General, he was similarly employed,
and as soon as Land Commissioner Wilson
was deposed from the Land Office, pending
charges of collusive action, adverse to this
claim, he was immediately employed by the
Company at double his former salary. And
the case is full of kindred “very peculiar
circumstances.” If the case could be con—
densed and printed on both sides it would
cap-shaef George Sand’s Conscuelo. It is’nt
a very popular thing to champion the side of
the weak against the strong, but with none
other than a journalist’s information as to its
details we venture the opinion, that if the
truth is ever reached in this case, the judg—
ment and conclusion of Senator Ferry will
be confirmed.

u. s. COURT.

An interesting ceremony was witnessed in
the U. S. Supreme Court the past week. Mrs.
Belva Lockwood, the first woman Attorney
ever admitted to practice before said Court,
presented and had fallorably passed upon,
the name of Samuel R. Lowery, of Alabama,
the first negro lawyer ever presented for per—
mission to prac ice before this august tribu-
nal. Mr. L. is the President of the Hunts—
ville, Ala., Industrial School, and said to be
a man of high scholarly and legal attainments.

The snow stOrm of last Tuesday was quite
severe, the wind blowing a gale. The snow
drifted badlyégaving many thin spots, sadly
interfering with the cnjoyments Of sleigh—
riding. . On many streets, however, the
sleighing was fair for a day 'or so, but was
indulged in quite moderately.

 

 

The Pioneer 'Minstrels started for Danbury
last Tuesday morning, in the midst of the
furious snow storm. As a matter of course,
the weather interfered sadly with the attend-
ance in the evening, but the boys gave agood
performance and made the best of the situa—
tion. . Better luck next time. '

Mr. Charles T. Leonard who contemplated
spending the winter in Colorado with his
wife and daughter, finally started yesterday,
and expects to,be absent a month or two.
He will probably take a look at Leadville
before returning. May he strike a Bonanza-
and divide with his friends.

 

Real Estate Sale.

Mr. James Sherwood has sold his new
building, corner of West Avenue and Elm
street, to Mr. Wm. E. Darin, the price being
$6,000. It is understood that Dr. E. C.
Clarke will rent the place for his family and
fitup an Office there; it is an excellent location
for him. Mr. James C. Sherwood, who now
occupies the premises, will give up business
for the present. , . .

organization of a Post of the G. A. R. to be
located at Norwalk, Conn.”

The meeting then adjourned, subject to
the call of the committee.

Obituary.

Benjamin Camp, youngest; son of Mr
Samuel R. P. Camp, died at the home of his
sister, Mrs. Ferris, in Vv’cst Troy, last Friday.
His remains were brought to Norwalk and
buried last, Saturday. His disease was, con-
sumption which is supposed to have been
brought on by malarial or sewer poison to
which he was exposed while boarding in

won the respect and esteem of all with whom
he came in contact.

morn. The life of this exemplary christian
mother is deserving Of more than a passing
notice. She was born May 10, 1810;'at Guil
ford,County of Down, Ireland—was married
to Mr. Christopher Hutchinson, Feb. 15th,
1837. Soon after which they came to this
Country, she was the mother of six children
three of whom survive her, John at Branford
Ct.,Thomas at Grosvenordalc,Ct.,and Andrew
Hutchinson of this Town: Most of her life
in this Country was spent in Moosup where
her kindly disposition and upright christian
life endeared her to all who had the oppor—
tunity to associate with her, her residence at
Moosup numbering Thirty -tlireo years. Two'
or three years of her life were spent in Win-
nipauk and here as there those who know, her
best loved her most and it was during that
time that she formed her desire that was ex—
pressed on her death bed to be buried in
Norwalk. She was a member of the Episcopal
Church having connected herself with a
church of that denomination at" Broad Brook
in the year 1863. She died Feb. 2nd, 1880, at
Moosnp and the funeral services were solem—
nized at the Union Cometry in this town on

Connccticut’s Vote.

As the Presidental Election is approaching
it may be interesting to some of our readers
to know how Connecticut has voted in past
years since 1824, when electors were first
chosen by popular vote. The votes are as
follows :—

1824: John Quincy Adams, National Re-
publican, 7,587; Wm. H. Crawford, Demo-
cratic, 1,978; Adams’ majority 6,609.

1828: John Quincy Adams, Nat. Rep,
13,829; Andrew Jackson,Dem.4,448; Adams’s
majority 9,381,

1832 : Henry Clay, Whig, 17,755; Andrew
Jackson, Dem, 11,269 ; Clay’s majority 6,-
486.

1836: Martin Van Burcn, Demr, 19,234;
Wm. H. Harrison, Whig, 18,466; Van Bu—

.rcn‘s majority 768.

Lewis Cass, Dcm., 27,046; Martin Van Bu-
ren, Free Soil, 5,005; Taylor’s plurality
3,268. .

1852: Franklin Pierce, Dom, 33,249;
Winfield Scott, Whig, 30,357 ; John P. Hale,
Free Soil, 3,160; Picrcc’s plurality 2,892.

1856; John C. Fremont, Republican, 42,—-
715; James Buchanan, Dem, 34,995; Mil—

615; Fremont’s majority over all 5,105.

1860; Abraham Lincoln, Rep, 43,692; J.
C.Breckinridge. Dem, 14,641; John Bell,
Whig, 3,291; Stephen A. Douglass, Dem,
15,522; Lincoln’s majority over all 10,238.

1864: Abraham Lincoln, Rm, 44,691;
George B. McClellan,Dem.,42,285 ; Lincoln’s

- majority 2,406.

1868: U. S. Grant, Rep, 50,995; Horatio
Seymour, Dem, 47,952; Grant’s majority
3,043.

' 1872: U. S. Grant, Rep, 50,638; Horace
Greeley,Dom.,45,880; scattering 410; Grant‘s
majority over all 4,348, -

1876: S. J. Tilden, Dem, 61,934; R. B.
Hayes, Rep, 59,034; scattering 1,188 ; Til—
deu‘s majority over all 1,712. ~ -

It thus appears that out of fourteen Pres—
idental elections, Connectiéut has gone Dem-
ocratic in three (1836, 1852 and 1876), and
Whig or Republican in eleven.

(Out this out and paste it in your hat.)

 

The Parallel Road.

The engineers of the proposed Parallel
Railroad have commenced .work at New
Haven, running the working and farm lines
for the Road. They will advance upon
Norwalk in a scientific manner, but their
progress will necessarily be slow, so we
would not advise the boys to be in any special
hurry to go out and meet them. Parties are
said to be following them with a view to
bidding on the right of way.

 

Board of Trade.

A second meeting of citizens was held at
the GAZETTE Ofiice, on Friday evening last,
to hear report of the committee appointed at
the first meeting and to further perfect plans
for forming a Board of Trade for the Bor-
ough. ' -
The committee reported in favor of such
an organization here, and recommended that
a committee consisting of Messrs S. E. Olm—
stead, T. H. MorisOn, Geo. M. Holmes,
Isaac Selleck, J r., James W. Hyatt, Geo.
R. Cowles and S. VanHoosear, be appointed
“to secure the signatures of as many of the
citizens of the Borough, as may be in favor
of forming an association for the advance—
ment of the interests of this community, and
to report as soon as possible.” The report
and recommendation of the committee was
adopted, and the new committee appointed
with the addition thereto of E. J. Hill.

The meeting then adjourned; subject to
call of the committee. ‘

 

The great event of the season, will be the
supper of the Norwalk Reform Association,
to be given in the Opera House on Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, Feb. 24th and 25th.
Extensive preparations are being made which
cannot fail to make this supper a grand suc—
cess, and to secure to the Association the
muclineeded funds to enable it successfully
to carry on the noble work it is doing. The

in the hands of an efficient committee, con—
sisting of five ladies and five gentlemen.
Tnere have been in addition to these,
between fifty and sixty other ladies and
gentlemen appointed as sub—committees, to
solicit for the supper in the difierent districts
assigned to them. Also committees have
been appointed in the different shops and
factories in the town. We understand that
the employees of Morisons shirt factory will
furnish fancy articles for the occasion. Also
the employees (if Messrs. Beatty Bros. straw
hat factory, will supply the ice Cream, con—
fectionery and fruit. The operatives of J.
«S: T. Cousins shoe factory, will furnish fancy
articles. Also there will be other similar
contributors sufficient to make the result: a
successful one. Friends, young or old, rich
or poor, high or low, one and all, turn out
and give the Association such a lift as South
Norwalk has given to their Association.

 

The storm of last Tuesday, was very severe
on the Atlanticcoast. Much destruction was
worked to hotel property at Long Branch
and at Coney Island. Six vessels were wreck-
ed near the former place, and a number of
lives were lost. In the Sound the brig
Guisborough,of Nova Scotia, and the yacht
Coming, recently bought by a New York
gentleman, started from New London in few
of the tug Alert, but broke loose and drifted
away in the blinding storm. The brig sunk
near Northport, and the yacht went ashore
further east. The tug' made New Haven

harbor.

The most exciting local question of the
immediate future looming up out of the
present fog, is the matter of the construction
of docks in our harbor. Eight years ago,
after long and mature delibflfiition, the Court
of. Burgesses wisely adopted wharf lines,
which were generally believed to be for the
best interests of the place and for the benefit
of all concerned. At the next session of the
Board they undid what they had spent so
much time in accomplishing and left the
matter just where it was on the start._ Sub~
sequent Boards kept their hands Off. In the
meantime owners on the west side adopted
the lines previously recommended and a
number have extended out their docks to
conform to those lines. New owners on the.
east side propose to building ncw‘wharves,
and instead of adopting the lines suggested
by tne government engineer and adopted
Once by the Court of Burgesscs, propose to
extend them out beyond those lines. Last
Friday night the owners on the west side on-
tered a vigorous protest against this action,
before the Court of Bui‘gcsses, and suc—
ceeded in having a committee appointed
to investigate the matter at once. It is
a knOtty question, for while it is plain
that the adoption of the lines suggested by
the Government engineers would really be
for the best interest of the public at large, it
is also evident that such an arrangement does
not bear evenly on both parties for While
one side by adopting the lines gain much
land the other side barely hold their own
and even lose what they already possess. If
they have the right, as, they claim, to build
within twenty—five feet of the channel, they
can thereby seriously damage our harbor.
If the Borough has.thc right, as the law
plainly gives, apparently, to adopt lines, they
should do so at once, but at the same time
they should adopt some plan, or compromise
with owners in such a manner that no one
party will be given any advantage over
another, and no person be unjustly dealt

with.

The exercises at the monthly Sunday

 

were varied and interesting. Over the desk
was displayed the name “David” also a map
showing the Sunday schools which have been
located in Michigan, by the missionaries of
the American Sunday School Union, one of
whom, Mr. Henry Densmore, was present.
After the opening exercises of singing and
prayer, Mr. Densmore was called upon to
make a statement of the Sunday school work
in Michigan, and an explanation of the map,
which he did in the few moments allotted
him.

The subject chosen for the concert was
“David.” in the character of Shepherd,
Warrior and King. After an organ overture
by professor Disbrow, Eddy Russell gave a
recitation as a Shepherd Boy, and the classes
recited texts Of scripture, giving reasons why
David was a warrior. After a. solo and
chorus, Armor-bearer, Rev. Mr. Dunning
explained the trials of David. Mr. Frank
Ferris made the closing address on the inter-
esting character of David, and a narrative of
the labors of the missionary in Minnesota,
aided by Mr. F—‘s‘school in New York.

 

German Service.

Vesper service and sermon in the German
language, will be held in Trinity church, So.
Norwalk, on next 'Sunday,,the 15th inst, at

The Grand Central Depot.

According to the answer of President Wat-
rous, made in response to the resolution of—
fered by Mr. Colyer of , Daricn, calling for
the information, it appears that the cost of
the Grand Central depot and its adjacent
grounds in New York city was $6,419,118.10.
The New York, New Haven'& Hartford rail-'
road company has a perpetual lease of its por-
tion of the depot, for which it pays 33 per
cent. of the interest on the cost, $6,419,118.—
10, reckoned at 7 per cent. per annum. This
rental amounts to $148,281. 63 per year. It
is also to pay the same proportion, 33 per
cent. of all taxes and assessments laid upon
the property, and to contribute in like pro—
portion toward rebuilding in case the depot
should be destroyed by fire.

The New York Central and Hudson River
failroad company pays 42 per cent. of the in—
terest and 42 per cent'of the taxes and insur-
ance. The property belongs to the Harlem
road, which therefore charges itself with 25
per cent. of the interest. The depot is un—
der the control Of a depot-master, who is ap—
pointed by the unanimous vote of the presi—
dents of the three companies, and may be re-
moved by the president of either of them. In
case the presidents cannot agree in appoint—
ing a new depot-master, the Governor of the
state of New York is to make the appoint—
ment. . ,

The percentages to be paid by the roads
may be adjusted every- five years, but the
lease is perpetual during the charter of the
company. The contract makes about forty
pages of legal cap in manuscript.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 6th, 1880.

DEAR GAZETTE: '

Knowing the interest you and your readers
take in anything done. by New Englanders
in this city, I will describe the marriage of
Miss May Jones, the daughter of Mr. Charles
Jones, a New York lawyer, to Mr. Hubert
Ogden, a young lawyer, which took place
Feb. 4th, in the Episcopal church of the Re-
deemed, corner 4th Avenue and Pacific
Street at 7:30 o'clock, in the presence of a,
large and fashionable - assemblage. The
bridal party entered the church to the strains
of Mcndelsobn’s Wedding March, led by Mr.
F. H. Comstock, and Mr. E. F. Jones, fol—
lowed by the bride elegantly attired, leaning
upon the arm of her father. Then came her
lother and sister, Miss Minnie Jones, after
which the other two sisters, Mr. F. Middle-
brook and Mr. F. Simons. When the bridal
party reached the chancel steps the groom
with his best man, Mr. S. G. Pardessus,
came forward and led the bride to the altar,
when the ceremony was performed in a
beautiful and impressive manner by the Rev.
I. C. Sturges, rector of St. Andrew’s church,
Kent, Conn. After the ceremony the invited
guests repaired to the home of the brides
parents, where a reception was giv en from 8
until 10 o’clock. The toilets displayed were
very elegant. The brides dress was white
corded silk and satin, with a garniture of
orange blossoms covering the enflre front,
corsage cut square, filled in with ,fpoint lace,
veil of tulle trimmed with spanish blonde
lace ornaments, diamonds and pearls, gift of
the groom. The brides mother in 0121 gold
brocade; white satin petticoat and thread
lace flounces. Sister of the bride in white
satin dress, with overskirt of satin grenadine,
trimmings of pearl passmentrie. Among
other noticeable dresses were some black
velvets, also white silks with handsome trim-
mings. Many varieties of delicately colored
silks and satins all mingled together, present-
ed a very brilliant scene. The house was
profusely and tastefully decorated with
flowers, the parlor was everywhere festooned,
from two horseshoes above the end windows
extended trailing smilax, and roses to two
monograms of the letctrs O. and 1. From
this other floral strings were drawn, until
they reached a beautiful canopy of flowers
and smilax, beneath which an immense vari—
colored horseshoe OT flowers hung. Under
this the bride and groom stood and received
the congratulations of their friends. An ex-
cellent upper was spread in the dining room,
furnished by Pinard, of New York.
string band furnished by Bernstein, discours-
ed music in the reception room on the right
of the hall. Ina room on the second floor
the presents were shown, among which were
two beautiful bronze clocks with side pieces.
Many beautifully designed pieces of silver-
ware, several sets of spoons and forks, beau-
tiful cases of knives, one fine India shawl, art
paintings, diamonds and other jewelry, jewel
boxes, richly bound books, and many other
gifts too numerous to mention.
Among the immediate relatives were Mrs.
John Jones, Mrs. S. E. Ogden and daughter,
and Mrs. David Ogden, all of Wilton.
In the latter part of of the evening dancing
was indulged in by the young people. The
bride and grbom left amidst the festivities

lowed by the usual number of old slippers

A Novel Missionary Meeting.

The Rev. Wm. Stocking, seven years a
missionary among the Nestorians of Persia,“

will give a lecture illustrating the manners
school concert of the Congregational church, and customs of the East, in the Congrega—

tional Church at South Norwalk, on Friday
evening of the present week, at 7;- o’clock.
Five persons will appear in costumes.

No admission fee, but a collection will be
taken at the close for the benefit of those
perishing by famine in Oroomiah and
Koordistan. ‘

Rev. Mr. Stocking was born in Persia, but
is the son of a veteran missionary who went
to Persia from Connecticut. Ills friends still
reside in Cromwell.

Our townsman, R. T. Easton, Esq, has
a brother in the same mission; 'and Mr.
Stocking is a nephew of Rev. Mr. Gilbert,
of South Norwalk,Gcncral Agent of the Con-
necticut Bible Society. Surely furnishing
nominal Christians in Persia, (such as Nestor-
ians) have a claim on christian sympathy as
well as in Ireland.

Letters from Europe by Hon. Wm.

. -D. Kelly.

A series of six able letters, written by
Congressman Kelly, while abroad last sum-
mer, to the Philadelphia Times, has been
issued in pamphlet form by Porter & Coatcs
of the Quaker City. They attracted such
wide and considerate attention at the time
of their first appearance, that the publishers
have done a public service in thus issuing
them in collective form. ‘

Their chief interest is not that they are
letters Of foreign travel, but a faithful col-
lection of facts and information concerning
the Industrial and Financial systems pre—
vailing in European countries. The inter:
views Of Judge Kelly with Bismarck and
other leading statesmen, are of apractical
interest and value to our own people, afford—
ing as they do new and important opinions
upon Bi—mctalicism, and other economic
questions. The fatal fallacies of British Free
Trade, are, effectually exposed, and the life
long position of the Judge on the questions
of currency and protection to' home indus-
tries, made more impregnable than ever.
The little pamphlet is well worth sending
for, in addition to its trivial price of only 25
cents.

They have a preacher up in Sharbn, Pin,
who conceives that the pulpit is intended
for purposes quite distinct from being made
the medium of business communications for
the people of its neighborhood. Last Sun—
day, instead of making the usual “announce-
ments," he pointedly said he did not propose
to turn his pulpit into a bulletin board, as
there were three newspapers in the town, and
in accordance with that declaration refused
to give out the half dozen notices handed him
by the sexton.

This recalls an incident of the Rev. Wm.
B. Weed, while Pastor of the First Congre—
gational church here, he was solicted to make
one Of the too common pulpit advertising an-
nouncements, but declined and early Monday
morning sent the notice to the GAZETTE
with a dollar inclosed for its insertion. It
was subsequently learned that he had paid
the money himself rat her then be a. party to
