The resignation of the pastorate at Wilton,
by the Rev. S. J. M. Merwin, and the accept-
ance of it by the people, is a matter of sur—
prise and sorrow among the churches and
pastors of Fairfield West, who have thus
been deprived of the ministerial and frater—
nal fellowship and counsel and co—operation
of one whom God hath made an able minis—
er of the New Testament. Mr. Merwin
was ordaincd‘in 1844. His first pastorate
was at Southport; his second in Massachu—
setts; his third at Wilton, where he was
installed Oct. 20th, 1358. He is one of those
ministers obedient-.10 Paul's _charge,_ “Give
attendance to‘reading, to exhortation,‘ to
. doctrine; Meditate on these: things; give
thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting
may appear unto all. Take heed unto thy,7
self and to the doctrine; continue in them”
&0. So, “holding fast the faithful word,
he has been “able by sound doctrine both,
to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
The churches have need of such ministers.

netted about forty dollars.
According to the census the population of
our thriving little Borough is 2,079. This
shows a remarkable increase during the past
few years. The death rate is 16 while the
birth rate is 68. We. believe few if any

It was our privilege to witness a very
pleasing incident which took place at the
robots of the Faith Mission in Bridgeport,
on Saturday evening last. J ust before the
close of the services a prominent member of
the Mission arose, and on behalf of the sis-
ters presented Mrs. Smith with an elaborate
commentary'on the scriptures, and then on
behalf of the brothers presented her with
a'handsome copy of Baxter‘s Polyglot Bible.
Mrs. Smith was deeply affected by the
incident and responded to the presentation
remarks in a manner that was deeply touch—
ing. The books are very handsomely bound
and Mrs. Smith’s name and place of residence
is stamped in gilt letters on the outside of the
front cover of each book, and on the fly-leaf
of each there is an appropriate inscription;
and here the writer of this article wishes to
say that it was through the earnest words
of Mrs. Smith that he was led to seek that
“City Which hath foundation, whose builder
is God.” We never saw anyone whose whole
heart seemed more devoted to the work, of
saving souls.
Edward Dunn, of this place, met with a
painful accident on Sunday last. He was at-

more serious accident. _

General Hancock’s nomination as a Demo-
cratic candidate is one which will excrte a
surface enthusiasm in the party to be follow-
cd by a season of great solemnity. But it
has one good feature, the Democratic papers
will no longer seek to make any capital out
of General Garfield’s supposed connection
with the Surratt case—Hartford Commit.

\Vcstport, June 24, 1880.
The work of scraping the river has been
going on, as everybody knows, for nearly
two months, and at this time it is believed
the river does not contain oysters cno ugh to
make a first—class stew. The license which
offenders are given from now till August 1st
by the Selectmen’s careful wording of their
edict, will be sufficient to affect a clean
sweep of the river, and the protection (i)
sought to be maintained by the Selectmen
can be of no use till next year. By that
time the new by-law, like its predecessors,
will have become an old story, and no good
oysterman will so far degrade himself‘as to
obey it.

As Memorial church clock was striking
the hour of twelve, Saturday night, a person,
none the less patriotic because residing in an
upper appartment of the lock~up, ushered
in the morning of the 104th anniversary of
the Nation’s natal day by twice discharging a
shot gun. 0n the fifth no bells were rung
at sunrise or silnset. There was -no.attempt
at celebration except by boys, who, with their
crackers sought to demonstrate the force of
that part of the immortal Declaration which
asserts that “all men are born- equal.” Our
people generally kept quiet all day, ate their
dinners, set off their fireworks in the evening
rain and finally slept the sleep of the just.
Friday evening the Misses Downes gave
their annual soiree. Their apartments
were decorated with American flags and
flowers, and there was a large attendance of
patrons and" invited guests. These were
entertained early in the evening by perform-

Sophie V. Downes, and each showed the
careful training for which that lady has
earned so high a, reputation. The vocal
selections were especially commended. At
the close of the performance dancing began
to music by Offen‘s band and continued till
a late hour. Socially, as well as artistically,
the affair was a success. PAUL.

The enumerator of the census finds the
population of this town to be 1,538, a loss
during the last decade of 86.
The drouth has been very severe. The
showers of last week Sunday, Monday,
Thursday and Friday nights were very rc-
freshing. The farmers have a surprising
experience.- The Fourth of July finds some
of them through haying, and others near the
finish. The crop is light—below the medium.
A man of more than three score and ten told
the writers. short time since that he had
never known rye ready for harvesting in
June, yet this year rye has been cut and
taken up before July, and some wheat has
also been cut. Rye is good, the straw is
brighter-and wheat looks well likewise. The
early planted corn looks finely. That which
was planted later came up slowly and one-
venly, and is still rather small.

isfied with General Hancock- on account of
the Surratt matter, will be pleased to know
that Mrs. Hancock-is an earnest member of

Episcopalian, not very earnest.

This is the way the Chicago Tribune puts
it: “Garfield is a self-made man; but
Hancock was made by the government

the public educated Hancock in the arts of
war. The one isainerc fighter; the other
is a fighter when there is, war, but a civilian
when there is peace.”
’ a much dreaded disease.
The Democratic Nomination.
The nomination of General Hancock is the
abandonment of what is called the “fraud"
issue by the Democratic party, and it seems
almost as if the Convention had decided not
to treat the situation seriously. General
Hancock is a brave soldier, who served
gallantly through the war, and he is a
gentleman of high personal character, but as
a candidate for the Presidency he represents
merely the Democratic party. Mr. Tilden
was in himself the issue upon which his letter
insists, and which has been made the para—
mount question in every Democratic platform
since 1870. If, as he alleges, a great wrong
has been done to popular government in his
person, the remedy was obvious; he should
have been nominated by acclamation. But
practical politics are very illogical. It is not ‘
often that the excitement and confusion of u
nominating Convention permit the nomina-
tion of a representative leader of a party
like General ‘Garfield.
General Hancock represents no policy, no
principle, no issue, nothing but. the party'
which has nominated him, and he will be
supported by those only who think that the
public welfare would be promoted by bring—
ing the Democratic party into power. Gen.
Garfield stands for the best sentiment of
the party which has been identified with the
patriotism, the intelligence,thc free industry,
the progressive spirit, of the country. Gen.
Hancock represents a party without a pro.
gramme or a policy, and with the most dam-
aging traditions. That party has eminent
leaders, but General Hancock is not one of
them. If he has views upon public ques-
tions, they are not known. He is, of course,
wholly without civil experience, except that
of a military Governor. He is a worthy
gentleman, whose life has been passed in the
military service, and whose election as Pres-
ident would be a leap in the dark.
General Garfield, on the other hand, is not
only a citizen soldier of distinction, but a
statesman of wide and various experience
and sagacity. of unusual knowledge and
tact, a leader of his party by signal ability,
and a gentleman of unblemished character.
If the office of Chief Magistrate of the
Union requires civil ability and especial
knowledge, wide experience and courage,
matured convictions upon public principles
and policy, familiarity with public affairs
and public men, as well as perfect personal
reetitude, and intelligent sympathy the ideas
and purposes and tendency of a great po—
litical party, General Garfield is peculiarly
the candidate for those who wish to know
what their votes mean. General Hancock is
the respectable canandidate of the 'Demo—
cratic party; but how has the Democratic
party deserved the respect or the confidence
of the country ?—Harpar’s Weekly.

Garfield and Hancock.
Garfield was a poor boy and won his way
in life. Hancock had all the road made
smooth before him.
Garfield taught himself to read at ten, and
paid his way at school by serving as janitor.
Hancock was educated at the expense of the
government.
Garfield is one of the best scholars and
one of the most effective ,orators in the
country. Hancock's education is chiefly
military, and he has no interests outside of
the army.
' Garfield is a distinguished civilian of emi-
nent public services. Hancock has never
done anything except as an army ofiicei’, had
no political training and no experience what-
ever in statesmanship. , .
In personal appearance and address
respectable characters and cleanly lives,
both Garfield and Hancock have the advan—
tage over most of the defeated candidates.
But , '
Garfield is a Republican and Hancock is a
Democrat.
And that one fact comprises all essential
reasons why every man who believes the war
waged on just grounds ought to vote for
Garfield and not for Hancock.
If Hancock is elected he will be the bum—
ble servant of those who elevated him to the
office, and four-fifths of his electoral vote
must come from the South-«from the men
whom he helped to defeat. He will obey
the commands of the South as Buchanan did
twenty years ago, He will bc—must be—
essentially a Southern President. He will
be forced, by the imperative logic of his
position, to cooperate ,with the men who
formed the bulk of the armies of the Rebel-
lion, for the purpose of nullifying the results
of the war. Amajority of votes for Hancock
will come from men who fervently hate the
bond of the Union, and who, if they could,
would restore slavery, cut off pensions to
veteran soldiers, and repudiate the bonded
debt of the Nation and disgrace the great
Republic in the eyes of the whole world.
To maintain the honor we have won and
to keep our pledges inviolate, Garfield is the
man!

A Cure for Diphtheria.
A correspondent {of an exchange paper
some time ago wrote as follows concerning
An experiment
has been tried in this city, where the patient
was too weak to gargle and the inhaling, as
suggested, was accomplished, and the most
satisfactory results were secured. The re—
lief afforded was instantaneous, and the case
was one where hope of recovery had been
almost entirely abandoned :— , ~
“Should you or any of your family be at-
tacked with diphtheria,do not be alarmed,“ it
is easily and speedily cured,without a doctor.
When it was raging in England, a few years
ago, I accompanied Dr. Field on his rounds
to'witness the so-called “wonderful cures"
he performed while the patients of others
were dropping on all sides. The remedy,
to be so rapid. must be simple. All he took
with him was powder of sulphur and a quill
and with these he cured every patient with-
out exception. He put. a teaspoonful of
flour of brim’stone into a Wine glass of
water. stirring it with his finger, instead of
spoon, as the sulphur does not readily
amlagamate with water. When the sulphur
was well mixed, he gave it as a gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out of dan-
ger. Brimstone kills every species of fun-
gus in man, beast and plant, in a few min—
utes. Instead of spitting out the gargle, he
recommended the swallowing of it. In ex-
treme cases, in which he has been called
just in the nick of time,when the fungus was
too nearly closing to allow the gurgling,
he blew the sulphur through a quill
into the throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk to allow it, then the gurgling. He
never lost a patient from- diphtheria. If a
patient can‘t gargle, take a live coal, put it
on a show], and sprinkle a teaspoonful or
two of flour of brimstone' on it at a time;
Iet the sufferer inhale it, holding the head
over it, andthe fungus will die. If plenti-
fully used, the. whole room may be filled
almost to suffocation, and the patient can
walk about in it, inhaling the fumes, with
doors and windows shut. The mode .of
fumigating a room with sulphur has often
cured the most violent attacks of colds in
the_.head, chest, etc., at any time and is
recommended in cases of consumption and
asthma."

When some politicians ‘are weighed, they
‘are found wanting every office in which
there is a vacancy.
“Either the Democrats Must Give
up the Fraud Issue or they
Must Nominate Tildon.”
Remember the. words of Mr. Thurlow
Weed. Mr. Weed is now a very old man.
He has been accumulating wisdom for a
length of life vouehsafed to a very small
percentage of the human race.
Wr. Weed is the man who, in his youth,
compassed the election of John Quincy
Adams.
And Mr. Weed, in all his long life, filled
with great experience, never spoke truer
words; - .
“Either the Democrats must give up the
fraud issue or nominate Tilden."
And if the Democrats do not nominate
Mr. Tildcn they do relinquish the fraud
issue—the strength of their canvass.
Bull-headed as he is, even John Kelly
ought to have sense enough to perceive this.
Tilden, Principle and Victory, or some-
body else, no issue and defeat!
Which?
Answer Cincinnati!
The above sensible and truthful admoni-
tion was uttered by that standard democratic
authority the New York Sun, the day pre—
vious to the nomination of Hancock at Cin—
cinnati. The crazed democracy have given
“somebody else no issue and defeat."
“Again it was the cat!” In going down
stairs, at his home, the other day, our good
friend Gen. Couch aecidcntly stepped upon I
eat. Result, a sprained ankle—and a spoilt
Hancock speech.
A... .., _. -.__.
The Nation fails to approve the nomina—
tion of General Hancock, although conced
ing all that is claimed for him in the way
of good character. It sees in him only a
good soldier, with no solid qualifications for
the office for which he is nominated. It
says:— ‘-
Thc Union over which Washington and
Jackson and Harrison were called to rule was
a very different community from that which
is to elect the next President. It has
changed front a simple and small agricultural
population strung along the eastern 'coast,
and managing almost all its affairs through
local self-government,into an immense nation
covering a} continent and competing with
the world in all the industrial arts, with a
vast civil service, vast accumulated Wealth,
powerful corporations, 0. thousand conflict-
inginterests, and with a momentum in its
progress which makes the slightest error in
direction capable of tremendous mischief.
Taking the very narrowest view of the
functions of the executive, the President of
such a republic needs to be not simply an
able or honest man, but one of the master
politicians finding election to the presidency
easy in our day, but we do sincerely believe
a strong move in that direction has been
made in the nomination of General Garfield,
that he belongs to an order of men whom the
people have to be persuaded to favor and
elevate, and fithat the selection of another
soldier now would be a distinct step back—
wards towards a somewhat barbaric theory
of government. Is it not time “the war-drum
throbbed no longer and the battle-flagswere
furled," even though the “Parliament of
Man" be some ages distant?

Why it is so.
The reason why Dr. David'Kennedy’s “Fa,

Kiduoys, Bowels and Blood, is that it is com-
pounded of the very remedies which Nature
herself has provided for this purpose. Being
at first scattered through the woods and fields
Dr. K. has collected them, and. after long and.
careful experiment has condenced their vir-
tues in the form which he now confidently
offers to the sick and suffering. One Dollar
expended for a bottle will convince you and
make you grateful that you read this item.

Dr. Kennedy, proprietor of “ Favorite Reme-
