Editorial Letter.

WASHINGTON, June 19th, 1880.

DEAR Gaznrrsz—The long session of the
(great American Congress adjourned at “high
noun” on Wednesday, as quietly as‘a coun~
try selnol would take its ahhual recess. The
stampede of members wasthe only thing at
all exhilerating about the evacuation. The
pressure of home interests, re-uomiuations
and re elections, ,depopulated the ileum: end
with surprising celerity- Many members
lel't Friday of last week, more on Tuesday
night, and Thursday morning the House P.
M. told us there were but thirty-two mem—
bers remaining in the city. Never did alot
of school-boys seem more delighted at vaca—
tion and certainly never were the American
people more rejoiced to see the unprofitable
and incongruous body called :1 Congress dis-
perse. .
So far as any legislation affecting the great
business interests or prosperity bf the country
are concerned, absolutely nothing has been
done. That the Republicans were greatly
elated at the outcome of the Chicago Con-
vention and the Democrats correspondingly
depressed, was openly apparent to every one.
The attempt to blacken the character of
Representative Garfieldnon account of Oaks
Ames' secret transfer to him of ten shares of
Credit Mobilier stock and his $5,000 retainer
for defending DcGolycr, is condemned by all
honest and sensible Democrats because they
know there was neither dishonesty or official
impropriety in Garfield’s action. A commit—
tee of Congress composed of three Republi—
cans and two Democrats unanimously exon—
erated him from all blame. Attorney-Gen.
Black, one of the most robust of Bourbons,
certifies that of his own knowledge, he
knows Garfield to be entirely innocent, and
the half-rebel Washington qui'tal gives
its party friends notice that they must hunt
some other cause of attack if they hope to
defeat Garfield. The fact is, our candidate
is not only known to be, but is acknowledged
by his fellow Democratic. Members to be a
great, honest-hearted, generous, and noble-
minded christian gentleman. There is no
cant, duplicity, or pretense about James A.

GARFIELD, but as boyand man, he .was and

transparent as the noonday sun.-

Large numbers of the Democratic mem-
bers of the House takein Cincinnati on their
ways homeward. There was the greatest
anxiety with the departing Democrats as to
who was to be selected there as their candi—
date. A majority seemed to feel sure that
Tilden would be the man. Speaker’ Randall
says he is the strongest possible candidate
and is sure to be nominated. More conserv-
ative Democrats,said it was sure defeat to re-
nominate Tilden, as he could not begin to
hold his own party strength. That he was
sure to lose New York, New Jersey, Connec-
ticut and Indiana and thus make Garfield's
election a certainty. _A few hours more will
tell who are the better prophets. _

Bepresentative Miles has worked indefati—
gably for his district’s share in the appropria-
tions. The long-sought for Stamford Har-
bor Improvement appropriation passed the
House, but in the Senate the sum to place a
buoy was stricken out, but the light—house
clause remains and that will be built the pres-
ent season, and the buoy will undoubtedly be
secured next session. _

The appropriation to continue the work of
digging out the Norwalk harbor was passed
and a clause is inserted requiring the sand—
bars between the mouth ofour harbor and the
draw-bridge to be cut so as to give “six feet
of water over them at low tide. This will

b gratifying news to those who travel by
séamboat to and from New York.

The following is a complete summary
statement of the appropriations made by
Congress in the thirteen regular annual ap—
propriation bills and the various deficiency
bills that became laws during the session just
ended: I _ '. . .

Pension bill, $32,404,000; pension deficien-
cy bill, $9,322,999.22; post ofilcc appropria—
tion bill, $39,093,420; post—ofiice deficiency,
$1,250,000; Military Academy, $316,234 38;
fortifications, $550,000; consular and diplo-
matic, $1,184,135; navy, $14,405,797.70;
army, $26,425,000; Indian, $4,656,314.20; In.
dian deficiency, $135,000; legislative. execu—
tive. and judicial, $16,274,223 59; sundry
civil, $22,523,821.69; river and harbor, $8. -
929,500; District of Columbia, $1,714,498.67;
a5ricultural, $253,300; regular deficiency
bill, $4,577,002.04; printing deficiency, $350,
000; House and Senate contingent fund de-
ficiencies, $39,012; miscellaneous, (estima—

ted) $52,400,000; tetoi, $186,805,058 40.

Commissidner LeDuc has given to the pub-
lic that portionof‘the forthcoming annual re.
port of the department of agriculture which
refers to the ‘ army worm, the writer being
Mr. J. Henry Comstoek, the etomologist of
the department. Mr. Comstock says that
the parent insect isa night-flying moth, and
in this agrees with most other authorities.
His plan for destroying the pest is to dig
ditches with overhanging sides, having pits
or holes a foot or two deep at intervals of
twenty or thirty feet, into which the worms,
not being able to ascend the sides of the ditch
will fall as they crawl about. Once in these
traps the nuisances may be killed in any way
most convenient. "

Gen. Wm. T. Clark is spoken of as a pos—
sible successor to Gen. Raum, in event of the
removal of the latter for his open violation at
Chicago of the President's civil service or-

ed upon to part with his youngest child.

the funeral’ The remains. of the babe were
taken to Norwalk for interment.

Gen. Garfield was tendered a banquet and
serenade by his old army comrades and per-
sonal admirers, at the Rigg's House, Thurs.
day evening. Attorney General Devens
Gens. Logan, P. H. Sheridan and others
addressed the crowd. Mr. Garfield’s remarks
were appropriately limited to an expression
of his gratitude to his friends, and congrat-
ulations upon the auspicious omens of a
brighter future for the country.

Senators Plait and Eaton and all our Rep-
resentatives except Col. Wait, left for home
immediately after adjournment. Col. Wait,

This dry season makes our people doubly
appreciate the luxury of the public water,
and more of our citizens ought to avail them-
selves of its use.' It is reported that boys
are guilty of getting over andundcr the dis-

tributing reservoir fence and committmgy

nuisances there. If this is true our commis—
sioners should set a \watch and have the misn
creants caught. ' The water has had an odor
of decayed fish for some weeks past, which
should cause a thorough inspection of the
filters at both the Reservoirs. The purity of
the water is a matter of the first importance,
as the recent sickness of .3 whole town at
North Adams, Muse, from impurities in the
public waterclcarly shows.

DEATH

 

Mrs. Henry'll‘. Morgan. V

 

The intelligence‘of the sudden death of
this estimable christian lady, in New York.
on the 15th inst..'brought sadness and sin-
cere sorrow to many hearts; not only of her
near relatives and large circleof kindred,
but also of many to whom she was endeared
by virtues and kindnesscs, generous and un-
Sfinted. and of a sympathizing community.

* We do not propose to attempt at this time,
any further obituary thaumay be found in
the address of Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, which
we are permitted to subjoin. , 11::

A large company came to the house of her
sister, Miss. Julia LockwoodJrouI New York
and other places, as well asTr'onI her native
town, to attest their love and respect by
attending her funeral on Fpiday the 18th;

An appropriate prayer~ Was offered at the
house by Rev. John A. Hamilton; and then
the coffin was: reverently borne on a bier,
carried on the shoulders of bearers, preceded
by the clergy in scarfs,attended by palLbzz I'JI'S
and followed by relatives and the concourse
of friends and neighbors, touthe Congrega-

already assembled. The devotional services
were conducted by the pastor. The hymns
sweetly led by the organ and choir, were
heartily sung by the congregation—especially
"Why do we mourn departing friends ?” in
the oldt‘unc of China. The last was “Sweet
Rye and Bye."

After the address, which is given below,
was another of. remarkable interest, power
and suitablcncss, by the Rev. Lcwcllyn D.
Bevan D. D., pastor of the “Old Brick
Church" in New York,'which the deceased
attended, with her husband, when in town,
and which we hope to give in our next.

At the close of the services in the church,
the coffin was followed to the Union Ceme-
tery by a long train of carriages. There the
commitment service of the Episcopal church

Scllcck; and-afterwards a quartette delight-
fully gave the hymn “Sister, thou wast mild
and lovely.”

 

ADDRESS
nx REV. s. n. s. BISSELL.
JUNE 18th, 1880.

' It is eminently fitting that the body of
Elizabeth Lockwood Morgan should be
brought from her house, in the city. for
funeral rites in the country; first to her
paternal home,-——not that, indeed, in which
she and her sisters and her brothers were
born, and which is still in the family—but
that to which her parents transfcri-ed them
more .than fifty years ago; from which she
was married; in which her father and her
mother died ; and which is still the home of
her elder. and only surviving sister.

It is eminently fitting too, that this body
he brought into, and these funeral rites be
continued in the hopse of God which was as
the gate of heaven to her soul; not, indeed,
that venerated old sanctuary in which she
may be said to have been born again, in
which she, and her elder sister, and more
than one hundred others, first publicly
assumed the .vows of God, in the memorable
‘year 1831 ;—-but that which her father helped
liberally to build, and in which now worship
the church and society which her ancestors
helped to found, early known as “Ye Prime
Ancient Society in yo township of Norwalk";
to which the joint families of Lockwood and
St. John have given so many members, and
several deacons ;—the church in whose fel-
lowship are her brothers, also, and so many
of her kindred and friends, in whose fellow—
ship ahc has steadfastly and ever adhered and
died; and which she so dearly loved, and for
whose welfare, and- adornment, and more
decorous worship, she has given so many and
so rich and substantial tokens of her grow—

‘ ing affection.

This beautiful Bible,and thatcostly pulpit
service of silver salver and vessels and a rare
antique stand, are among these pledges and
proofs of that love; and it is believed to have
been in her heart,—had her life been spared
and her wishes and intentions carried out,—
to have done and bestowed much more.

For these and other benefactions, public
and private, (the latter far more than the for-
mer, known many of them, only to God, and
to the recipients who rise up and call her
blessed), she‘ is entitled to gratitude, Fit—
ting it is “that this, that this woman hath
done, he told, and spoken of as a memorial

even as the alabaster box of very precious
ointment to be poured upon the headof the
Lord's Anointed, to anoint his sacrificial
body for its burial, brought by that other
woman who “loved much,”«—or, as that
other devout act of the Roman-Centurion,
of whom the elders of the Jews testified to
Jesus when they besought him urgently that
He would heal his daughter, saying, "‘He is
worthy for whom thou shouldcst do this'; for
'he loveth our nation and bath built as a
synagogue.”

' Would that many more, here and else-
where, might be constrained by the love of
Christ, as she and others in Norwalk have
been, to show that love to Him and to His
church by cousccrating liberally of what He
hath confided to their stewardship, for the
benefit of His poor, and espccxally to the
honoring of His house and His worship, and
the promotion of His cause at home and also
abroad! -

It is also eminently fitting that these prec-
ious remains be brought to Norwalk for in-
terment—here under her natal sky, in her na-
tive soil, among these loved'hills and vales,
and streams, and so near yonder broad and
beautiful sound, on whose isle-girt shore her
ancestors settled, with the-first,more than two
and a quarter centuries ago; in the midst of
these familiar scenes of ‘her lovely childhood
and youth, and of these homes of her loved
kindred and friends;—scenes and friends to
which her heart turned and bound ritself,
more and more as years increased, and
friends were lessened by death.

How she rejoiced in her new and beautiful
country home, so near to us all, and in the an-
ticipation of returning to spend the peaceful
evening of .her happy day where she hailed
its bright morning. But, just at the time
whenshe was preparing for that removal her
.Saviour’s call was heard, “Come up higher 1"
and so her redeemed spirit has fled to the

whom she loved best of all; and there, we
trust, has been unitedto the “sister-spirit" of
her younger sister, Mrs. John P. Treadwell,
so recently 'called away from New Milford.
"Lovely and pleasant in their lives, in their
death they were not divided”—but by a lit—
tle—“And so shall they ever be with the
Lord.’_'

And though it was not given her torealize
the full’import of the Oriental benediction
“May you die among your kindred!” yet,—
thanks be to God! and also to her honored
and beloved husband, who had prepared a
sweet spot for her burial among the classic
suburban shades of-Grcenwood—she is to be
permitted to sleep in proximity to so much
of her kindred's dust, which, from the first,
has hallowed our various burying-grounds,
and in our Union Cemetery, whose very

, name is significant of her cordial oneness

with so many of different names and sects;
among. whom she shall tranquilly sleep,
where the birds sing their matins and vcapers
front the arborvitzes, where the 'feet of love
shall oft resort, and whence, at last, she shall
joyfully arise “to meet the Lord in the air.”

Playmate of my childhood, companion of
my youth, and friend of all of my years,
Adieu !

 

Another Old Citizen Deceased.

Your last week’s announcement of the
death of our fellow-tawnsman, Henry Betts,
will recall only kind and respectful memories
of him by those who knew him longest and
best. He was an honest and true man, a de—
vout and humble Christian ; and this is much
to say of any. lIe was received into the 1st
Congregational Church in February, 1817, and
was ever, when here, one of its meshes-Inset,

 

faithful, and useful members. 1. 2' '

tional church, where a congregation was.

was effectively rendered by the Rev. C. M._

of her,” specially to be remembered here;-

better “mansion" prepared by her Lord

.. “.-

As a man he was especially noted for his
inventive mechanical genius, too active, too

"he had been more patient and persevering

perfecting the inventions of his fertile mind.

Our esteemed fellow.citizen, C. 1‘. Ray;
mond, Esq,, furnishes some facts respecting
those productions or suggestions of his per-
petual scheming. The first of these knofvn
to him was his lathe for irregular turning, dc-
vised and applied in his work as a shoemaker
for-the manufacture of lasts. In making his
machine he personally did most of the work
in wood and metal, but unfortunately, he did
not “stick to his last;” and a party at the East
got hold of the principle and built machines
for the turning of gun stocks for the U. S.
Government. Mr. Belts brought suit against
the company at Springfield, Mass.,whlch was
decided in his favor in the lower courts; but
when the case was appealed to the Supreme
Court it went by default for lack of means on
his part to bear the expense of prosecuting it.
Hemext invented the “Portable Forge" fOr
which he received nothing, though it is said
to have been worth millions to the Govern—
ment _ during the late war. Another of his
inventions was the “ Lightning Printing
Press.” When he was; ready for the exhibi—
tion of it, and invitation were issued, a fire
destroyed his preparations and devoured his
means, and the Messrs. Hoe, who had built it
and held the patterns, and to‘whom Mr. Betts
was indebted, went on and made improve-
ments and became the patcntecs of that world
renowned press. His grand ambition for it
was not personal aggrandizement, but. the
giving the Word of God to the hundreds of
millions in China. Another of his inventions
was for the conVersion of'~ the sedges and

paper for the feeding of omnivorous presses.
It is said that this patent-right is held by one
’of'our citizens. ‘

But the active brain and fervent heart of
the octogenarian have ceased to beat and
burn, and his redeemed and renewed spirit,
we doubt not, is soaring on untiring wing,
into heights of discovery and satisfaction
never reached by any on earth.

 

Grass Snxnonu died very suddenly of
congestive chill at his residence on ' West
Avenue, on Saturday morning last. Fora
short time prior to his death he had been
troubled with malarial infection,but he went
out to his work as usual after breakfast,
Saturday morning, and his son going on the
Odd Fellows excursion, both without a
thought of serious indisposition. After a
short time Mr. S. returned to the > house
complaining of a severe pain in his side, then
a congestive chill seized him and he soon
after expired. He was the oldest practical
builder probably in the country, if not in the
State, and continued his life-long habits of
daily labor up to the morning of his decease.
In the Gamma of_July 30, 1878, we gave
the following notice of this upright and most
remarkable man: . _

A Rarely Useful Life.

Mr. Giles Seymour, one of our beatand
best-known Carpenters and Builders, who
was born in the opening year of the present
century, has already built two houses this
season, and is now, at the age of seventy—
eight, busily engaged completing his third
one, and on all three of which he has done a
large amount of the mechanical work. Mr.
Seymour has probably personally planned
and wrought, in the erection of more first—
class buildings during his long life, as an op-
erating mechanic. than any other man now
living in our State. Besides being a master
of his trade, he has been a man of first-class
taste and thorough, practical judgment, and
the architecture of our town has for three-
quarters of a century borne convincing and
most gratifying evidence of his superior skill
as a Builder. He was the builder of Lock-
wood’s Hall, of the Norwalk Lock Factory,
the GAZETTE BUILDING, and many other of
our most noted public edifices and beautiful
private residences. It is indeed a rare and
beautiful sight to see this venerable and yet
robust and active artisan still diligently ply.-
ing the trade he learned sixty years ago 'and‘
still enjoying, as he has always done, the
highest esteem and confidence of his fellow
citizens. Mr. Seymour-'8 robust constitution
and uniformly good health prove the “divin-
ity of labor” in the manner his “good diges-
tion waits on appetite. " This aged hero worker
is a picture of a grand and noble manhood,
and pity ’tis that more of mankind have not
his courage to toil in the world's great vine—
yard, and to do with their might what the
hands find to do. In physical more than
mental labor, is health of body and peace of
mind secured.

Re-Unlon of the Misses Brock-
way’s School.

This very pleasing and recherche afiair at
the Athenaeum'on the eveningof Friday,
the lSth, inst., attracted a choice, but
large company of the friends of the
school. .It comprised. Isl—A Reception,
2d—A‘ Literary nnd Musical Entertainment;
3d—A Promenade Concert. Two gentlemen
discoursed sweet music fro the piano and
the violin during the R on, and in the

 

for the closing exercises “on the light fantas~
tic toe."

0f the various essays, readings, recitations
and musical performances of the pupils, we
need only sun—without particularizing in-
vidiously where all acquitted themselves so
creditably—thot they well sustained the
character of the Misses Brockway’s school.
They were of a high order, intellectually and
artistically, refined and elegant; and were ac-
cordingly relished and applauded by an ap-
preciative audience. We may be permitted
to say, in a word, that the reading of the
scholars pleased us as very natural and dis-
tinct; and that their musical deliverances
were most delicately and accurately render-
ed in time and touch.

Italian intellect as revealed in Science, Lit-
erature and Art, was the presiding genius of
the evening gracefully pervading every part,
to which a beautiful tribute was rendered in
the closing address by Rev. J. M. Taylor,
conceived in so elevated a spirit and express-
ed in so fitting and forcible a delivery that it
deserved to be styled an oration. '

We did not foot up the final turns and
returns, and therefore cannot give the proper
credit to the saltatory performances, but
doubt not they were properly enjoyed.

The Democratic Convention.

The greatest contest in the Republican
Convention at Chicago 'was over the "unit
rule”, which was killed, and district repre-
sentation prevailed, giving every man a
chance to speak and vote as he pleased—the
very essence of democracy. In the conven—

.the so called democratic party, the mana-
gers'will not tolerate this idea for a moment,
and the vote will be by the States. Thus by
gaining a majority of votes of any state they
carry the entire vote of that State. There
are said to be only two contesting delegations
—Massachusetts and New‘ Y,—-so that the
committee on credentials need not occupy
much time. An interesting feature of the
Convention will be the probable enforcement
of the rule requiring candipates. to secure a
two-thirds vote instead of a majority, as in
the Republican convention. If Tildeu suc-
ceeds in screwing his courage to the stick—
ing point and venture a contest with Gar-
field and the Republican party, he will be

Democratic Dictator. Should Tilden with—

school will celebrate the centenary of Sunday

 

 

 

 

 

by the pastor in the morning, and a Sunday
school exercise prepared for the occasion in
the evening.

The latest news from Cincinnnati is that
Tilden actually declines. A letter from him
to that effect was read io the New York dele-
gation. Seymour has also declined again.
Now it remains to. be seen if either is to be
pushed and to have the nomination breed
upon him.

Since the Centennial anniversary the Fourth

_ of July has lost its strong hold upon the

patriots of America, and noisy celebrations
are becoming of rare occurrence. The people,
however, will never cease to celebrate the
day in a “free and independent" manner—
every man for himself.

For the meeting of the American Institute
of Instruction to beholden at Saratoga
Springs, July 6th to 8th, the Housatonic R.
R. Co. will sell, commencing July lat, round
trip tickets from Bridgeport for $5.10, and
from Danbnry for $4.70. Tickets going
valid from July 3d untilJuly 6th ' inclusive.

The Excursions.

All things considered, the excursion'givén
by the Odd Fellow-Twas; on Saturday
last. was the gfludeit'ifialr'of'the'kind ever
attempted in Norwalk. The splendid steam.
or Columbia came up the Sound on Friday
afternoon, passed by the islands, rounded
Goose Island and came through the . Eastern
passage in fine style, reaching her wharf and
winding around without trouble. relieving all
doubts as to her ibility to get in and out of
our harbo . Saturday morning was rather
smoky, but little fear was entertained of a
stormy day. On the wharf ropes were
stretched to keep the crowds of, spectators at
a suitable distance, both for convenience and
safety. Pauengerslarrived early from the
Danbury Road,—an extra train being run,
making three in all,——and from Norwalk and '
the adjacent towns, and at eight o’clock
there were about fourteen hundred men, we—
men and children on board. Soon after the
ponderous wheels moved, find the mammoth
steamer started slowly down the harbor.
The propeller City Of Norwalk was at hand
ready to assist in case of emergency, but.
there was no need of her services, the Colum-
bia getting out .of’ the harbor without the
slightest difficulty. The manner in which
the boat was handled was a matter of general
remark. Ccpt. F; Perkins honored the occa-
sion with his presence, showingtbc interest
the owners of the line had taken in the suc-

 

‘ cess of the excursion. He was ever ready to

do anything in his power to render the ex-
cursion pleasant and successful. Capt. Hol-
ton was in command of the vessel, and was
as courteous, obliging and approachable as
when captain of the Adelphi. The sail down
the sound was very pleasant. Near Fort
Schuyler the Grand Republic, with Mr.
Beecher’s' church and Sunday—school, was
met going up the Sound, and soon after sev-
eral excursion barges and steamers. The
East river and New York bay was alive with
vessels, and from the upper deck of the Co-
lumbia manyhad better views of New York,
Brooklyn, &c., than they had ever obtained
before. The vessel passed in full view of
the Iron Pier and the great hotels at Coney
Island, and soon encountered a slight swell
which occasioned some few cases of sea-sick-
ness, but in a few minutes the boat was

the wharf at Rockawny at one o’clock. Two
hours were allowed on shore. and the time
passed quickly. The new mammoth hotel
was found to be unfinished. Hundreds of
men were rushing work as fast as possible,
and it is the intention of Mr. Rice to open on
the 28th last, when he expects to have
enough of the immense structure finished to
accommodate four thousand guests. It is
somewhat doubtful if he succeeds. Captain
Perkins informs us that the Hotel, although
.now the largest in the world, is really not so
large as the Mount Vernon Hotel at Cape May
destroyed by fire in 1856, and of which Mr.
Rice was the Room Clerk. That was 750
feet square, with five towers on each front
five stories high, with verandahs on all sides,
the main building being four stor-
ries high. The new Iron Pier jut-
ting out into the sea for a long distance,
was also fond to be unfinished. The passen-
gers made the most of the short time allow-
ed them to remain ashore. At 3 o’clock most
of them had returned to the vessel, remem-
bering the admonition that the boat would
leave al: that hour sharp. ' At five minutes
after three the Columbia swung out into the
stream, and just then the stragglers began
to appear. Just how many were left is not
known, but the number was quite respecta—
ble. They had no difiiculty in reaching
home, however, by the cars. The return
home was without special incident. The
Grand Republic with her merry load of pas—
sengers, chime of bells, music, &c.,,was
again passed near Fort Schuyler.The speed of
the Columbia,and herjeasy running qualities,
were generablly commented upon,and all the
arrangements of the boat for the convenience
and comfort of passengers were found en-
tirely satisfactory. The boat entered the
Eastern passage again, and made her way up
tho harbor without difilc‘ulty, reaching the
wharf at 7:45, and discharging a well satis-
fied-party of excursionists. Pecuniarily it is
understood that the excursion just about
paid expenses, the receipts being, It is
believed, in the neighborhood of $1,000.
This result is gratifying to the managers.
The next time the 0dd,Fellows go 6n:an ex-
curgion, however, they may reasonably ex-
pec to:do much better. ~

On Monday morning the Columbia again
appeared in our harbor, in order to take out
the South Norwalk Reform Club excursion—
ists. In turning around at the wharf her
bosz touched the mud on the east side, and
althiough the Adelphi and City of Norwalk
both assisted, it was found impossible to get
her around until the tide was considerable
higher. The Adelphi was thus unable to get
out with her largo load of passengers until
8.45. The Columbia got away at 9 o’clock,
audit is estimated carried about as many
passengers, all told, as on Saturday. They
found plenty of room to spread out on her
three decks,and no lack of seats, for the ves-
sel is licensed to- carry 4,000, and probably.
often carries more than that number. The
day has been pleasant, and about the time

\' that we. go to press we‘ presume the vessel

will be steaming up the harbor..

 

School Meetings.

The annual meeting of the Over River
School District was held last Friday evening.
and was quite well attended. After the
reading of the reports-officers were chosen as
'follows:—0mnntittee, LeGraad Jackson, E.
0. Keeler, C. H. Wheeler; Clerk, D. W.
Fitch}; Treasurer, Ira Cole ; Collector, A. E.
J ohnaon. It . was voted to hold a special
meeting of the voters of the District on Fri-
day eyening, July 20, to consider the matter
of laying a tax to pay a part of the indebted-
ness, to fix the compeniation of collector and
to authorize the borrowing of money for cur-
rent expenses, &c. _ _

In the Centre District, in compliance with
a petition, the commitme print a call in this
issue of the Gaznrrn for a special meeting,
to be held“ on Wednesday evening of next
week.:’ The principal object is, to say the
least. a strange oue,—siniply to instruct the
committee as to whom they shall employ as
principal. .This action will undoubtedly re-
sult in a request to the'Registrars to prepare
a list 6: legal voters of the district, in order
that the vote Inay be taken by check-list as
provided by law.
