Come let our hearts and voices raise A song to our Creator’s praise ; Let us extol His works and ways Whose name is Love. He made the earth and all the sky, The oceans vast, the mountains high. With all things that beneath us lie, And worlds above. He gave the sun the day to light, The moon to cheer the lonely night, And rainbow tints of promise bright That please the eye. He makes the tender grass to grow, Where limpid waters sweetly flow, And fiOWers in brilliant colors glow, And flocks are nigh. The trees that in the forest stand Are planted by His loving hand, And grow by His divine command, In beauty rare. » The eagle on the mountain hight, And birds that wing their rapid flight Thro' azure fields, on pinions bright, His power declare. The dwellers in the briny deep, Wild beasts that roam and things that creep, And winds that o’er the landscape sweep His praise prplong. God is our Maker and our King— If all His works His honors sing, What tribute shall His children bring? ‘ A glad new song. Correspondence. NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 1880. MEssns. EDITORS :—I find on the 28th page of the one hundred and fiftieth anni- versary of the Wilton Congregational Church, this statement: “In 1735 it was voted to Open a highway to Buckingham’s Ridge— which has sometimes been called Harry’s Ridge—east of Hurlbutt street. This opin- ion generally prevails among the people of Wilton, and is true in a small way. About the year 1733, Thomas Hallibird,* of Fair- field, bought a few acres of land of Bucking. ham, laying in Norwalk, Wilton Parish. There is no doubt but this was in Hurlbutt street, (which until 1833 was called Holli— bird’s Hold) Hurlbutt does not appear on the records until some years after the distribu- tion of Thomas’ estate. In 1746, Benjamin Gilbert, of Fairfield, bought of Samuel and John Belden, of Norwalk, a tract of land on Buckingham’s Ridge, lying and bounded in Norwalk, Wilton Parish, for which he paid 1358 pounds Stirling. This is the ridge of land lying east of the Norwalk river, and extending east to the highway which divides Wilton from Weston. Beginning as far north as James Sturges’ and extending at least one mile south. He settled with his wife, Sarah (Higgins), on Dumpling Hill, raised three sons and three daughters, and died there at the age of 80 years. Now the point that I make is this, that the highway named above is probably the one by Cannon’s Station, and what is quoted as Harry’s Ridge is but a small part of what in 1735 was Buckingham’s Ridge. What makes this conclusion more probable is that four years afterward, a bridge was built across the river at that place. ‘ S. M. MAIN. :Hurlbutr. is a corruption of the real name. ___._____. WEST STRATFORD. (Deferred from last week.) On Saturday afternoon last, Mrs. Lally, an old lady who resides in this place, was walk~ ing on the railroad track, and seeinga freight train approaching from the west. stepped across on the other track to avoid it; she was then on a culvert which crosses Pem- broke Lake, and did not see a train which was Coming from the cast, in time to avoid being struck by it. She was thrown down the embankment into the Lake, but strange to say she was not in the least injured. We buy.» been informed that the cars have struck her on several previous occasions, one of them about a year ago, when she received quite serious injuries. Mrs. Margaret Wotten, who had been in feeble health for a long time, died suddenly last Thursday morning. Her daughteron going to awaken her in the morning, stooped over to kiss her, and found her dead. She was loved and respected by a large circle of friends, and her loss will be deeply felt. Her funeral was largely attended from her late residence on Lake street, on Sunday of ternoon last. . The campaign has fairly opened in this town. On last Wednesday evening, despile the stormy weather, a large audience assem— bled in Masonic Hall to form a campaign club. Hon. F. A. Benjamin was elected President, Isaac Lewis,First Vice President, Eugene Morchousc, Secretary, and Job Peck Treasurer. An executive committee, con- sisting of five persons, was also elected. _ Mr. Benjamin then stepped forward and de— livered a speech, in which he reviewed the record of the Democratic party for the last twenty-five years. He was followed by J. C. Chamberlain, of Bridgeport, and T. W. Wood of this place, Ammi Giddiugs, former- ly of South Norwalk but now of Sherman, Conn. Letters were received from J. W. Knowlton, Curtis Thompson and Judge A. B. Beers of Bridgeport, regretting their ina- bility to be present, but giving words of good cheer. The hall is very tastefully dec— orated with the stars and stripes, and por— traits 'of our candidates. Stratford can be counted on as sure to give a rousing majority for Garfield and Arthur and the “two B’s.” Our Democratic friends seem to be very unfortunate in their efforts to raise any enthusiasm for their candidates, as several efforts tending to that effect have proved futile. ' _ On Friday afternoon last a severe shower of rain and hail passed over this place; at one time it was feared that much damage might be done, but we have failed to learn of any. Judging from the numerous excursions which pass through this place bound for High Rock Grove, on the Naugatuck road, that place must be a very popular resort, and one thing is assured, so long as Superintendent Beach has charge nothing improper will be permitted on the grounds. Every one says “time is money,” and now comes the report from Democratic financial circles, that “money is a drug.” Is not the thing mixed? The blue fishing season has arrived and promises to be one of the best we have ever .had. W. A few things General Hancock may be ex-l pccted to say in his next letter: This is a great country.

Hancock, Governor’s Island, Bay of New York. DEAR Sin :— ' Permit me to introduce myself to you as one of the many thousands who fought under your orders at Gettysburg. I saw you on Cemetery Hill when treason, armed with the stolen means of our country's defence, and the Army of the Potomac met in the giant death struggle on the free soil of your native State. We boys, in the blue uniform of our country, felt proud of you, on that day, as did Pennsylvania and the loyal North, and when we heard that you were wounded made anxious inquiries to know how badly; while those who will now vote for you would gladly have heard that you were dead. When General Mead held council on the 12th of July, we boys stood in the mud and rain anxious to prevent the escape of and to exterminate Lee’s Army of Northern Vir— ginia. We discussed how your zeal would ' have been for the attack had you formed part of that council. Seldom, since have the boys reviewed the incidents of the war that your name has not been proudly and af- fectionately mentioned. But, how is our sorrow to be expressed to-day on seeing the changed attitude of one of our loved chiefs ? I say one. for,‘you are alone in your descrtion to the enemy. But few of your old com- rades will follow your leadership into the aims of treason, North or South. Those who support you now, in your anomalous candidacy. are those in the North, who ever belittled the generalship of the Union gener: als and extolled the strategy and dash of the military leaders in the armies of the rebellion. They are those who were filled with dismay and alarm when the tidings of the Fourth o f July double victories of 1863 reached the loyal and rejoicing ears of the true men of the North. and our troops flung their caps bu high,’ though we filled many thousands of shallow graves in the soil of your native State. You are supported by: all those, still living. who engaged in the draft riots direct- ly and indirectly, and who rejoiced when, in the shifting tides of battle, the old stars and stripes, your banner and your country’s,were trailing in defeat. Every bounty jumper and the soulless in the war; every man who op- posed the right of your comrades in the field to vote and thus make good in some de- gree their absence from home. Every man who, in 1864, said the war on our part was a failure, and Lincoln a bloodthirsty usurper and monster, and, who screamed applause when Judge Miller, of Ohio, declared lhat, “There is no real difference between a War Democrat and 'au Abolitionist. They are as links of one sausage, made out of the same dog," will vote for you. Every Vallanding— hamite and every mangy souled Copperhead that vociferated that your comrades were stealing pianos and robbing Southern ladies of their spoons and jewelry, and every one who votes on dishonest naturalization papers obtained in New York City, where the Dem- ocracy do not want a change, will vote for you. Speaking of a change, General, don’t you think we need a change in the multiplication table, in the ten commandments and the Lord’s Prayer? Weh ave had a repub- lic for a century. Is it not time to try a mon- archy'? just. for a change, you know. The solid South, with its $2,000,000 from customs, seventeen per cent. of internal rev- onus, on spirits and tobacco, seventeen per cent. of mail matter, six and one-half per cent. of manufactures, five per dent. of bank loans, one-half per cent. of savings bank de- posits, and ten per cent. of educational ex— penditures, etc., etc., of course will vote for you, notwithstanding a full, free vote and honest count would give Garfield and Arthur at least four of those states, and without gathering the votes with the bayonet, and you know it. But, in the absence of the bayonet and the free vote and honest count, the colored men of those states may look to heaven for that justice and fair play which the unexecuted lws of their country and you and your party do not afford. Your chances of election, in the swap of a loyal record for- disloyal votes, consists in what 1 have men— tioned by adding the solid vote of a certain religion, from which, perhaps, the solid South has taken its cue. You have recruit~ ting stations in probably half a million rum saloons, with such agents as damned spirits delight to fellowship with. Do you like your company, General? Have you, like Coriolanus, been slighted at the hands of an ungrateful country? Has not the government that maintained the Union in its integrity,ac- knowledged your splendid services in placing you in the rank of senior major general for life ? You expect to capture by your military record enough votes in the North, to give you a majority in‘Ihe electoral college. Let us see if the solid free trade, six and a half per cent Smith Will be seconded by the brains of the industrious and powerful North. Run no, the contrast presented from the Bu- reau of Statistics, published in the New York Tribune, of August 11th, is too obvi— ous to require argument. I will simply re— mind you of a fact that you must be aware of. . That ninety per cent. of those not in their grams, who heartily wore the loyal blue dur- in»..- the years of 1861 to 1865, will not vote for you. Judging from observation and inquiry. I must say that seventy-five to ninety per cent. of all our protestant clergy, le teachers in public schools and various institutions of learning, medical men, supporters of. free public libraries and reading rooms, writers of books. poets, lllerati, men behind the Luv. temperance press, upon the tempera-Ice rostrum, men earnestly in temperance organ- izations, mechanics and manufacturers and producers of raw material who have exam- ined the principles of protection, and learned at Philadelphia in 1876 the result of its ope- ration. All those who have sense enough to value the sacredness of the national obliga- tions, the acts of resumption, the par value of our paper circulating medium, the one- tliird reduction of our national debt and the remainder at four per cent, the failure of Democratic investigating committees to dis- CoVer dishonesty or loss in the government money beyond seven cents in a thousand dollars, the general prosperity and stability of our country, in short, are those with dis- cernment togsee that the Republican party courains the patriotism, morality and brains of the country, will vote against you and your party, in which case you are well in not resigning the splendid rank your country has honored you with and which keeps open your line of retreat. ' With generous remembrance of your (le— served reputation as a General, and a sor- row for your present unfortunate condition, I am respectfully your once comrade, F. M. Buss, Late 17th C. V.

For the Gazette. Colorado. Danvan—-LnsnerLn—-~ GARDEN or rm: ' Gons, 850. Denver, the Queen City of the Plains, is to day .the most active, enterprising and flourishing city on the continent. The growth of the city has been great, but the growth of the post office still more wonder- ful._ Denver seems to handle more mail matter than cities twice its size East. The throngs about the post office, generally are such that it is nearly impossible to gain ac- cess to the building. Long lines extending away out into the street are formed in front of each delivery window, patiently awaiting their turn. They have now letter boxes throughout the city, and I believe the free delivery system was about the “last link” which joined Denver to the metropolitan cities of the country. Railways, telegraphs, water and gas works, street cars, fire alarms, telephones, free delivery—is there anything more to come? Among the marked improve- ments may be noted the immense hotel, (Windsor House,) on Larimer street, corner of Eighteenth, the Tabor block, corner of Larimer and Sixteenth streets; other elegant and massive buildings are being erected on Larimer, Lawrence, Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Blake, and indeed every business street in Denver. Mr. Charles Prowitt, formerly of Norwalk, has opened a very fine drug store, corner of Sixteenth and Arrapahoe- streets. Hundreds of residences have been built this summer, and hundreds more are under way. The population is estimated at about 40,000. Leaving Denver we visit “Monumental Park,” “Garden of the Gods,” &c., on route to Leadville. ' As we enter the “Garden of the Gods,” our eyes behold a scene—picturesque in form and grotesque in nature. Rocks of the most brilliant colors and hues, balancing them— selves on more pivots, towering hundreds of feet high, like goblins lost in fairy land, vast walls of magnificent grandeur, tinged with blue, green, red, yellow and purple, rising perpendicular and lost in a misty haze as if their summits were seeking some heavenly power. Cities with clustering spires, mina— rets, colonades, towers and monuments of beautiful forms and colors, some leaning on an angle of forty-five degrees, rising one above the other. As I gazed upon this super- natural seene my mind was lost in admiration and wonder; nothing to break the stillness, everything silent and serene, to all appear- ance as when the world began. Words nor pen can do justice in describing these won— derful formations. Taking the Ute Pass, after traversing over giddy heights, far above the timber line among the cloud-piercing summits and snowy peaks, then winding along some mountain stream, fresh from the snow-fields, dashing over rocky ledges, then through fer- tile valleys, we at last arrive at Leadville, the great mushroom of the West. The town of Leadville is beautifully loca- ted on the western slope of Ball Mountain, one of the most elevated peaks of the Mos- quito Range, about two miles from the Ar- kansas River, and directly opposite the Sag— uaehe Range. The elevation is 10,500 feet above the levellof the sea. The principal business streets are Harrison Avenue, Chest- nut. State, Main, and Pine streets. Leadville is a lively town as may well be imagined; but one can hardly realize it, who has not stood within its borders and witnessed the mighty flood of human beings, that day and night in a never-ceasing tide, surges through the prin- cipal thoroughfares. Leadville by daylight ——is a sight to behold. The streets are full of teams of all kinds. Harrison Avenue and Chestnut street are the main channels through which the tide of humanity fiow. At the banks, men stand in rows long length- ened out, awaiting an opportunity to deposit rolls of greenbacks or their slips of checks that indicate figures well up into the thou- sands. But at the post office it is an unceasiug stream, a living tide, of come' and go, come and go. Leadville by gas light is still more wonderful. The teams are absent from the streets, but the men—and a few women—are around, and the streets are fairly alive with hav audience. scribe these ?—are full, and painted and bra- zen—faced women are running to and fro from the bar to the different groups foaming beer and other intoxicating liquors. , often taken in one saloon in an evening. Then the gambling houses are in full blast, and the old adage of “Easy come, easy gone" is nightly illustrated in these dens of infamy and hot-beds of crime. It is said there are here 2,700 licensed prostitutes. It is not to be understood that the level of society is wholly low. By no means; but the lower levels undoubtedly preponderate, and it is needless to add that Leadville is a Democratic city. ally severe. Pneumonia, erysipelas and heart. disease are the prevailing complaints. 3,500 interments. The best mines are located on Fryer Hill.

At present there are a great many stores and houses for sale, all going to show the Leadville has seen its best days. , The live stock interest of Colorado is at present greatly impaired owing to the great drouth which has prevailed throughout the country. Heretofore thousands upon thou— sands of horses, cattle and sheep have grazed throughout the year, and maintained them- selves in good condition without food, save that prepared for them by the bountiful hand of nature. To-day the plains are deserted. Men who have been worth their thousands have become bankrupt. Those who could, gathered what stock they were able to collect together with life enough to move and have moved them to Kansas, Texas and other 10— calities where the grazing facilities are bet- ter. G. H. E. Will he be any better than his Party ? The Tribune says of General Hancock :— There is not the slightest known reason why General Hancock, if elected, may be expected to revolt against the dictates of the Democratic party. He is in "the hands of his barty absolutely, and if elected will per. form the his duty according as they see it. It has on more than one occasion asserted the folly of the financial policy, which is even now such a success as to arouse the amazement and command the confidence of the oldest and richest nations of the world. It has repudiated in Congress as impossible and fallacious the resumption scheme, whose full success has within the year brought pros- perity to our doors; and in many ,of those States of the South under the meat absolute control of the party it has either repudiated or proposed to repudiate State debts and ob— ligations. It proposes to change the- tariff policy by which, our manufautnres were main- tained during along war. and under which they prospered during a longer period of de- pression consequent upon the war. General Hancock may personally differ with his party on these vital issues; but of what conse- quence is it if his party is dominant in House and Senate, even if he be in the chair of the executive ? Thetail does not wag the right dog. Letter From Brooklyn. It can be little else than desire for change and for the benefit to health and spirits which a change brings, that takes so many people away from the city at this season. For never was residence here more delightful than in these bright and glorious summer days, just warm enough to be Qgreeable, and fol— lowed by nights which are cool and refresh. ing. In June and July I was with part of my family in Vermont and Massachusetts, among mountains and with great stretches of country about us, and yet the days Were burning hot and the nights sultry. The change in food, air, water, and associations is all that makes a sojourn in such sections desirable. Many have come to this opinion, and large numbers of people who could be away re- main here quietly at home, and the places of those who are “gone to the country" are Long Island promises to become the great ocean watering place,not only for New York, but for the population of the interiorto the middle of the continent. Excursionists by the hundreds come daily from New England and the Middle States, and families from all the. great cities out, to Minneapolis and Omaha take board for weeks together at the large houses by the sea. Most of the churches are open, for though or temporary supplies or exchanging clergy- men keep up the services. Business is active. For years there has not been so much trade in mid-summer as we have seen this year. The demand for labor is good, wages have advanced, and the depression and hard times are pretty well over. People no longer talk about them. quite noticeable. Their lanndries are estab— lished all over the city, at short intervals on all the principal streets, and they themselves are. met with every where, dressed in their National costume. They appear to have plenty to do, and seem to find no trouble in getting at once into. remnnerative employ- ment. They are very reticent to strangers who find it difficult to get their story from them. Although they have all probably shaken ofi the dust of San Francisco from their feet they will rarely acknowledge ever to have lived there. They are, however, a good example to many in that they are in- dustrious and mind their own business. Staten Island is one of our suburbs which is very little known to the outside world. I enjoy nothing so much as a sail to it down the Bay and a ramble along its picturesque shores. Ipurpose in some summer holiday to walk or drive around it. It has seen its days of fashionable glory, but now most of it is given up to “Jews and sich.” It should have been, years ago, set apart as the great cemetery for these populous cities, so that Greenwood, and all the other burial spots we have, which are getting to be in the way, might have been dispensed with. Staten Island,given up to be the resting place for our dead, could have been made uniquely beauti- ful, and would have been sufficient for Its purpose for ages to come. more than a quiet resort for croquet parties and small picnics, the great crowds going on now to Coney Island.

The only ground upon which’ “reconciliation”— that isto say, sectional harmony—is possi- ble is .the acquiescence of every section in equal civil and political liberty. The par— ties of the war continue because that equal- ity is denied in the old slave-holding section, and the last reason that would persuade a loyal American to vote for General Han-— cock is: that his election, by giving the Gov- ernment to those who practically deny con— stitutional equal rights, would “reconcile” or pacify them. ' A Brave Brakeman. Amost daring act of bravery was per— formed. on the New York, Lake Erie and Western railway a few days ago. Train No. 49 was approaching Kirkwoou, a small way station. Thaddeus Tanney, a brakeman, who was sitting on the pilot of the engine, saw a woman walking on the tracks few rods ahead of the train. He seized the bell- rope, and giving it a sudden jerk, drew the attention of the engineer, who blew his whistle several times very loudly. The woman: paid no attention but kept on the track. The engineer reversed the engine, somewhat reducing the speed, and the brave Tanney gave a leap from the head of the pilot, landing safely on his feet. He ran llke a deer seized her with a hercnlean effort, and threw her off the track. The engine was by this time within a few feet of him, and, mastering together all his strength, he gave one desperate bound, landing safely among the bushes along the track. The brave brakem'an was slightly injured, but the woman’s life was saved without her receiv- ing a bruise. When asked why she did not leave the track when the whistle blew, she said she was so frightened that she did not know which track the train was on, or which way to go. The train was stopped, and the brave brakeman congratulated for his brave not.

They predicted that the states would not “spam; to. vanid-wvt 'IflucUlll‘S ‘call'l’Of ' militia. They predicted that the militia would Ic— fuse to cross the Potomac and invade Vir— ginia. They predicted that money could not be raised to sustain the army. And the. people filled the treasury. They predicted [hilt the people would not lake rile greenback. They pl‘l—(llclt‘d Lilflf. the greenback dollar would be as valueless as rags. They predicted that. glass Would grow in the slrel-ts of New York. They predicted that England and France would form an alliance with the south to secure cotton. They predicted that a “poverty stricken peoplr~ in me north would compel the govern— ment to terminate the war." They predicted that Grant would never capture Richmond. They predicted that the war for the Union would be a failure. They predicted that the confederates would never be overthrown. They predicted that the people would never consent to emancipation. The predicted that the people would never ratify the amendments to the constitution. They predicted that the freed negroes would become a race of paupers. They predicted that the people would never ermit black men at the ballot box. They predicted that the war would termi— nate in a vast standing army and a military dictator. They predicted that the child was unborn who would live to see gold or silver restored to the currency of the country. They predicted that the interest on the vast public debt could never be paid. , They predicted that specie payments would not be resumed on the 1st of January, 1879. They predicted that the resumption of specie payments would bring universal dis— asler and ruin upon the business and indus- tries of the country. And not only did they predict these things, but they did all in their power to bring the predictions to verification. Isn’t this a fine gang of iconoclasts to which to entrust the best interests of the country! They may go on with their evil prophesying, but they may make a note of one sure thing, and that is that the public that puts faith in their prom- ises digs its own grave. They cannot be trusted.
