A GARFIELD and AETIIUR club and a
company of Boys in Blue were organized at
this place last Saturday evening. Much en»
thusiasm was manifested and over fifty mem-
bers signed the roll. The meeting was held
in Mr. Dibble‘s store, there being no public
hall, here, and was called to order by Mr. S.
Horton who was elected temporary chair—
man. The following citizens were elected
permanent officers of the Garfield and Arthur
club:
President—Vincent Colyer.
vm-Preade‘nts—s. Horton, A. Dibble, R.
Wood.
Secretaries—Geo. Shercr, Jas. Stevens, J.
VanBuskirk. .
Treasui'er——W. Sammis.
Finame Uonmziltee—Chas. Thomes, J.
Grant, G. Crockett.
A company of Boys in Blue was. then
formed and the following officers elected:
Captain—James Stevens.
First Lieutenant—John Doran.
Second Lieutenant—J. Grant.
Orderly Sergeant—G. Sherer.
.Drum-ZIIajor—G. Crockett.
A resolution was passed authorizing the
president to call a public meeting and invite
speakers, at such time and place as he should
think best. A glee club is in process of for-
mation and it is thought that within a week
our boys will be heard from all along the
line.
Our boarding-houses have been well filled
during the season and next week being school
commencement in the city will probably thin
them out.
The railroad company has added about six-
ty feet to the platform. This is a much
needed convenience, though it is yet much
too short. The company has also promised
other needed conveniences, which will be
fully appreciated.
‘Our local travel has greatly increased be-
tween here and Norwalk since the fare was
reduced.
Mr. George Jones and Mrs. Smith and
their families expect to return to New York
this week. Walter Smith, a son of the lat—
ter, about eleven years of age, has carried the
mail daily to Contentment island, and
'through rain and shine has never failed to
do his duty faithfully. He will be missed.
The family has made many friends here.
DARIEN. :
The ladies of the M. E. Church will hold
a Peach Festival, on Wednesday evening, in
the Town Hall. There will be singing and
reading by_two ladies. If stormy, on Thurs-
day.
REDDIN G.
Rev. Mr. Hoag, pastor of the Methodist
church, has become so reduced in health and
vigor, that he has felt constrained to leave
his work for a few weeks and go to a health
establishment in Dainesville, N. Y. Some
of his brethren, have received much benefit
there in days past. His presence is greatly
missed. His pulpit is supplied by different
persons without expense to himself.
Mr. Jennings, who had been absent two
Sabbaths, stood in his wonted place,the 22nd .
inst. Rev. McCullagh, pastor of a Presby—
terian church in Brooklyn, N. Y., conducted
public worship once on each of the Sabbaths
of his absence. Mr. McC. and family are
boarding in the place. ”There are quite a
number of city boarders here.It is a beautiful
summer retreat for dwellers of the city.

WEST STRATFORD.
Another rousing meeting of the Garfield
and Arthur club of. Stratford, was held here
last Wednesday evening. Addresses were
delivered by several local speakers. It was
voted that hereafter the regular meetings be
held weekly instead of semi-weekly. On the
same evening the democrats held a meeting
which was presided over by A. B. Judd, Esq.
Addresses were delivered by several speak—
ers, among whom were Col. S. B. Sumner,
of Bridgeport, and Hon. James Gallagher of
New Haven, better known as “kill ’em, damn
One of the speakers referr—
ed to Col. Fred Grant as a “little drunken
rascal, who ought to have been dismissed
from West Point,” and then the democratic
portion of the audience applauded. It was a
fair sample of :democratic argument. If the
colonel’s father had been dismissed from
West Point perhaps the democratic party
would be in a more flourishing condition
than it is at present.
Several persons, from this place, started on
Friday last for Newport and Martha’s Vine—
yard oz‘a. steamer Elm City from New Ha—
ved. They arrived home yesterday morning
and report a pleasant time.
One of the most severe thunder storms it
has ever been our lot to witness passed over
this place last Wednesday. The lightning
struck in a number of places'but fortunately
did no material damage. Bridgeport escaped
less fortunately. A schooner which was dis-
charging a cargo of lumber at Hawley’s dock
was struck and Wm. Schreber, the steward,
. was killed. The steeple of Sl.Augustine, R.‘
C. church was struck and sustained damages
to the amount of several hundred dollars.
The cnpola of the Frary cutlery shop was
struck, but beyond a vigorous shaking up of
some of the employees no damage was done.
The water-pipes were burst in a number of
places by the force with which the lightning
struck the ground. On Clinton avenue the
residence of Geo. A. Wells was struck, and
two chimney’s demolished.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Sturdevant
was largely attended from the residence of
her son—in-law, Joseph Terew, Esq, on Sat-
urday last.
Notwithstanding that rival companies have
sought to injure the Rogers &. Brittin Silver
company, it still lives and gives evidence of
increasing prosperity. The class of goods
manufactured by the above named company
are excelled by none and equalled by few.
Mr. W. H. Rankin is the general superin—
tendent of the works, and Mr. Wm. Plead;
well has charge of the plating department.
These two gentlemen were formerly connect-
ed with the world-renowned Reed & Barton
company of Taunton, Mass , as was also Mr.
Geo. Gill, the designer and die sinker of the
Rogers &Brittin company. The trimming
» and polishing departmentis under the super—
vision of Mr. Henry Cottrell, and the bur-
nishing department under the charge of Mr.
Richard Walkley, both gentlemen who thor-
oughly understand every branch of their re-
spective departments.

Rogers; Vice President, F. W. Brittin; Sec—
retary. Samuel T. Rogers; TTeasurer, Edwin
L. Brittin, who also has the reputation of
be ng the best salesman in the county. With
such men to manage it we see no reason why
the company should not prosper. .

On Monday morning week, a young lad o
thirteen yearsof age, named Thomas J udd,
from Williamsburg, N. Y., was drowned in
Lake Kenosia while gathering Pond Lilies.
It is supposed that he felt from the boat he ,

persons over 90 years old mentioned recently
in this c-ilumn. The funeral occurred Thurs-

impress an immense congregation with the
beauty of a pure and upright life like that
led by deceased. The burial took in the

Two weeks hence Mrs :Ann R. Hill, ac-
companied by Miss Julia Ilill, her danghtnr,

Commencing on Aug. 2lst, meetings of our
Garfield & Arthur Club, will be held at their
rooms every Tuesday evening during the
campaign. It is pretty safe to claim that,
notwithstanding the existence in town of
three II. 8:. E. Clubs, every republican will
stand to his post uninfluenced by “tally”
offered by enthusiastic democrats, and vote
right on the day of elecriou. The old Jew
game of putting all the good goods on view
in front will answer in Cliatham street, but
is not likely to avail much in Connecticut
politics.
Rev. Mr. Muxccy of Bridgeport, occupied

John R. Williams preached in Mr. Maxcey’s

The great shower of Wednesday, interfer—
ed with a number of picnics, and the wind
and lightning played pranks in different
parts of the town. Some said the shower
was the harbinger of the end of Summer,
and of cool weather, but the heat since has
been potent enough to refute that idea.
Somebody went and told Blake, Lockwood
and Olmstcad, to not fill their engagement to
address the untorrified at Stui‘ges Hall, last
Wednesday, and like good little men, they
obeyed. Fresh proof of the faith some men
have in their fellow men was thus prettily
illustrated.

It begins to appear that the movement for
building a Parallel Railroad is more real than
some of the sentiments concerning it printed
in this column of late indicated. Responsi
blc parties from here who were present at
the hearing in New Haven, efore the
Railrhud Commissioners, are of opinion,
based on what they heard, that the road is
likely soon to be begun. In this regard “If
we have said anvthing we are sorry for, we
are glad of it." Following are the names of

General Albert J. Meyer, (“Old Prob,”)
who died last week, will be remembered by
the good folks of Westport, who have so
long been cdiilcd by his almost unvnrying
correct weather predictions. His obseqnies
in Buffalo, N. Y., were conducted at Trinity
(Episcopal,) Church by Rev. Dr. Edward
Ingersoll, brother of Err-Governor, C. R.
Ingersoll. and formerly rector of Christ
church here. It is said the Dr. paid a glow—
ing tribute to the life and virtues of the de_.

At the Tombs Police Court, N. Y., Mon-
day, Capt Francis Sherwood of this place,
appeared and made affidavit before Inspec-
tor Byrnes, that the following described
bonds owned by him, and temporarily placed
.in the vault, were stolen from there Feb.
10th last : North Carolina special tax bonds
of the value of $8,000—numbers 70, 71, 509,
1,201, 1675, 1,678, 2,468, 2,957. 2061, 2,962,
3,125. Also bond No. 6,687 of the Chicago
North Western consolidated fund‘7 per cent.
and two bonds of $10,000 each of the Chi-
cago and North Western first mortgages,
No. 2,608, and 2,651. The Captain subsc-
quenlly visited the Third National Bank
where the bonds had been hypothecatediby
Elijah Alliger, the accused, now held for
trial, and identified the property as his. He
also stated that the amount lost by him was
not less than $15,000.—that he had origi—
nally 12,500 in North Carolina bonds, act of
1866, for which lie afterwards received new
certificates, act of 1808, accrued interest ,on
old bonds provided for. He had written to
the treasurer of North Carolina, stating that
he had lost the bonds, and that official re-
plied saying that, in case they were Offered
in exchange he would stop payment. He
had also notified the Chicago and North
IVs-stern Railroad Company of his loss, and
they promised to stop payment, on the
lost bonds. The Captain added that he
had lost by the robbers eight certifi.
cafes of stock, though he was receiving in‘-
u-rest on them from the company right along,
and a paid up life insurance policy. Alliger
is held at the New York Central office pend-
ing the result of his efforts to procure bail,
up. It is believed that he knows much about
the robbery of our bank, and that he can if
he will, at his coming trial disclose informa-
tion which may lead to the detection of the
robbers. Evidence of: Alligcr’s complicity
in many crimes of the character of that with
which he stands charged is in possession of
the New York authorities who will do their
best to bring this offender and his co-workers
to justice. PAUL.

“Acts of J udgc Dogberry.”
1. And it came to pass in the land of Dog-
ville, in the days of Wilyum-jay,that a decree
went forth that all dogs should be enrolled
upon the roll of the scribe. For the word
had gone forth to the wise men of the prov-
ince, to which Dogville was tributary. that
the dogs must be enrolled. -
2. Then the lords, high captains, and chief
estates of Dogville did command, saying:
“That upon such a month,and upon a certain
day of the month, the people should go up
to the scribe and have their dogs enrolled
upon the roll of the scribe; and that their
owners pay tribute.”
3. And it came to pass upon the month,
and upon the certain day of the month, that
NINE dogs were enrolled upon the roll of
the scribe, and their owners paid tribute.
4. And it was so that when the lords, high
captains and chief estates of Dogville saw
the number enrolled, they said? “What is
this that hath been done, for the number of
dogs in our city is four score and ten thou-
sand"! I l
5. Then they took counsel together,saying,
“What shall we do? for if this thing goes on
the governors of our province will take us
for bondmen; now, therefore, let us have
our dogs enrolled, and let us pay tribute and
so shall we escape being bondmen.” So
were their dogs enrolled.
6. Then they said, “Let us take counsel,
and levy tribute and penalties against
CERTAIN offenders who have not had their
dogs enrolled, and thereby we shall reap no
small advantage.
7. Now the rulers of the city were wise,
and they said, “lest we offend the people and
we be no longer rulers, let us give the prin—
cipal men about the city a chance to pay
tribute, so that they may escape the penal-
ties, but let us deal J USTLY with the in-
habitants of the outskirts.
8. So they said, “Let us select some one
who is mean and vile, who will ‘swoop’
around the back doors, and spy out the dogs;
and so shall he go forth and number the
dogs.” And they all with one accord ex-
claimed, “Let it be Callsey Hemper l”
9. And it was so that he went to the out-
posts of the city and did number the dogs;
but the dogs of his FRIENDS—these he
numbered not.
10. Then the high captains said, “We will
summon these offenders to our presence, and
they shall pay tribute, and we will inflict
penalties; so shall we ‘line our pockets.’ ”
11. So they went to the far off land of
Saratoga, where the lion roareth, and the
whang—doodle languisheth, and the citizen
of Dogville lodgeth with the husbandman,
and picketh his teeth on the threshold of the
caravansary.
12. The writings went forth and were
signed by the “Pahdics,” and delivered by
the butcher, for he was an officer of Dogville.
13. And it was so that Wilyum jay sat in
the gate and judged the people of Dogville ;
and in judgment was be accounted mighty,
because Moses did stand at his right hand.
14. And it came to pass that when the
inhabiters of Dogville, who had not their
dogs enrolled and had not paid tribute, came
before Wilyum-jay as he sat in the gate that
Moses stood not at his right hand, so that
Wilyum-jay had none of his counsel. There-
fore did Wilyum-jay go it alone.
15. Thus it was he said, “I will judge Jon-
athan;” now Jonathan had been in council
in the province to which Dogville was tribu-
tary; he also had great possessions; there—
fore, lest he turn upon us and smile us, for
lie understandeth the law, we will let him go
free, notwithstanding his dog was not enroll-
ed upon the roll of the scribe. And when
the people heard the decision they cried, “a
Dogbei-ry come to judgment.”
16. But upon the inhabiters of life out—
Slill'tSIIG inflicted penalties and compelled
them to pay tribute.
17. He also judged James; now James
had two dogs which had not been enrolled
upon the roll of the scribe, neither had he
paid tribute; so when he came to the gate to
to be judged, Wilyum—jay commanded that
he pay tribute and penalties for ONE, and
forgave the other ; and again the people
shouted “a Dogberry come to judgment l”
18. And as 'the sun went down, Wilyum-
jay was weary with judging, and his eyes
were heavy, also his pockets; therefore he
said, “I will no longer judge the people of
Dogville, until the 18th day' of the month ;”
and the people got them every man to his
lent.
10. And it came to pass on the 18th day of
the month that the people said, “Behold
Wilyum-jay doth sit in the gate;" and be
caused the people to pay tribute, and be en—
acted penalties.
20. Now when the people who were com-
pelled to pay tribute saw that which had
been done, they» were filled with wrath
against the rulers; but the “Pahdies” said,
“We were oblidged to sign the writings;"
and the chief captain, even the butcher, said
he was compelled to serve them, and the
other oflieers made excuses.
21. When the people saw the treasury was
not enriched by the transaction, but the
reverse, they said, “Behold this hath been a
put up job.” Now, therefore, let us no more
appoint the “Pahdies” to sign the writings,
let us no more trade with the butcher, nei-
ther will we send to the far on land of
Saratoga where the lion roarcth and the
wliangdoodle languisheth; and as for the
lords, high captains and chief estates of
Dogvdle, let others take their offices.
22. But for Wilyum-jay, because he hath
judged Wisely and showed the spirit of
wisdom and understandinw therefore shall h

“When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
Flag of tho free heart’s hope and home!
By angel hands to valor given:
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.”
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedom’s soil bencath our feet,
And freedom’s banner streaming o'er us.
Oh, thus be it ever when Freemen shall stand.
Between their loved homes and tho war’f
desolation ;
131931: with Victory and Peace, may the heav-
en rescued land
Praise the Power that has made and pre-
served us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it 2's just,
And this be our motto :—“In God is our
trust ;” '
And the star-Spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
O’er the land of the free, and the home of the
brave.
The American flag flung to the breeze by
the Garfield & Arthur Club on Saturday, is
the finest piece of bunting and the best made
“standard sheet” which was ever outspread
in Norwalk. It was made up by Bertine,
149 Fulton Street, N. Y. City, on the double-
quick, and well sustains his business and ar-
tistic reputation. Even our poor, benighted
democratic friends, admitted its beauty and
betrayed occasional twingcs of conscience as
they gazed upon its beautiful folds. Some
of the more enthusiastic of our Republican
boys conjectured that they could see the eyes
peering from the faces upon the Hancock
banner, struggling to avert their gaze from
the“‘dear 01d flag” and concentrate their vis—
ion upon the corner saloon under the Connec-
ticut Hotel.

This old town has rarely, if ever, entered

lic parade last Saturday night, thus leading
the County. They had several speeches on
the occasion, and a lively time generally.

Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Aug. 27.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
Last evening the democrats held their great
ratification meeting and I wish some of the
Norwalk democrats could have witnessed it.
If they had I am sure they would not have
wanted any Hancock in theirs. In the line
was a detachment of the “Black Horse Cav~
alry” of Virginia, and such a company! On
small ponies, with bodies slightly inclined
forward, one could see the long hair, griz-
zly beard,'butternut clothes and old brown
slouch hats of the men I saw behind the bars
of the old Capitol prison during the days of
war, and before whom I waved the old stars
and stripes, receiving in reply their cheers
for J eff D avis and the Confederacy.
The old rebel yell was here, too; an old
soldier standing at my side during the pas-
sage of the procession across 7th and K Sts.,
and when directly in front of us the Black
Horse Cavalry gave forth that old peculiar
rebel yell for Hancock,the old soldier turned
to me and said, “Son, I have heard that same
yell many a time during the war when I laid
down by my camp fire, but I never expected
to hear it at the National Capital.”
These men that composed the Virginia
cavalry are in feelings as well as looks the
same old rebels, defiant now as then, and
altogether unmindful of the lesson taught
them by the brave boys in blue. Speaking
of the rebel yell, Dr. Hamilton, the man
who named his own son “John Wilkes
Booth,” was overheard to remark, “Wait
till Hancock comes in and then we will show
you what the genuine rebel yell is.” Such
talk one hears every day, and Washington
to day, reminds me more of the days of the
war than of a peaceful city. A number of
the flags displayed along the route of the
procession had asnspieious resemblance to
the old Confederate “three bars," which
many of the boys in blue well remember,and
for aught I know may have been the same
“dear old flag" that are preserved and wor—
shipped in secret by many of the rebel citi-
zens of Washington. There were many one-
armed, one-legged, maimed veterans among
the spectators that did not enjoy the blatant
evidence of unrepentant treason thus boldly
flaunted in their faces, and it must have
brought back too vividly recollections of the
ghastly scenes of the war. While such
scenes are not only tolerated but encouraged
by the democracy, so long will the bloody
shirt continue to wave.
If the loyal men of Connecticut could have
witnessed that parade and heard these same
old graybacks give their yell, they could not
be induced to give their votes to Hancock.
The people of the North do not believe
these” stories from the South, but had they
been here last evening they would have
heard and seen enough to convert the black-
est democrat and cause many a loyal heart to
tremble. .
