John R. VanWoomer of Utica, N.v Y., a

ladies.

On Friday evening Gen. J. R. Hawley
will address our citizens at the dedication of
the ;Wigwam at South Norwalk, when the
wide awake Boys in Blue will also be out in

New Building.

What a blessed thing for the world, it is,
that we cannot continue to have our own
way here on earth after we are dead. During i
the lifetime of Miss Margaret Belden she
would not permit a single tree to be set
along the roadside of that quietest and pret-
icst of all our village avenues,.whieh was
given her family name, because of her great
veneration for her ancestors and desire to
have nothing changed about the old home—
stead. Nothing was more intently the good
woman’s heart's dcsire,than to have this con-
dition of things continue after her departure.
But the world moves and progress in all hu-
man affairs is a certain law of nature. Recently
a very attractive Mansard residence was erect-
ed immediately in the rear of the old Belden
mansion, and on Saturday, builder Turney
raised the frame of a second house of simi-f
lar style and proportions, on the next lot
above Mr. Scofield‘s, which is being built

, for J ewelcr Spencer. The rest of the home-
stead is mapped into very desirable lots and
will no doubt soon find purchasers.

 

How it Stands.

Of twenty-nine large manufacturers 'in'
Meriden, twenty~eight of them are Republi-
cans and one only a democrat. If it were.
not for the blind delusion of so many of the
factory operatives of Connecticut, who are
misled into voting the free trade and no
tariff democratic ticket, that party wouldn’t
be able to marshal a corporal's guard of
voters in the coming election. ‘

 

We are glad to see the Tribune has taken
resolutely hold of those unmitigated swindlei s
the lottery gamblers. Now if the Tribune,
through its Washington bureau, would work
up and expose the reputed collusive drawing
of the capital $100,000 prize at New Orleans
last winter, and with the proceeds Of which
(as was currently asserted and believed about
the Capitol) the Post Office Department’s
order intci'diciilig the use of the mails by the
swindlcrs was'withdrawn, it would do the
country as great services as it did in exposing
the cipher fraud dispatcher.

Good.

We understand that our fellow—citizens of
Irish descent, are at the bottom of the enter—
prise of throwing out the glorious stars and
stripes now flying across Main street from
Hubbell’s building to the Connecticut Hotel.
This shows them to be half right in this elec-
tion. It is leaning a good ways towards pro-
tection to American industry, and the repub-
lican party when any class of men are wil-
ling to unfurl “old glory,” and we yet expect
to see Patrick relieve himself from his prov—
erbial “ball” by cutting off that ridiculous
rag sticking to the bottom of their flag. If
the wind does not whip it off before Novem-
ber we shall whip it off with loyal votes
then, so it will be all the same.

Attorney Walsh in his beautiful and im-
passioncd oration declared that “every Irish-
man in Nonwalk would vote for Hancock on
the fourth day of November!”

As Gen. Garfield will be elected on the
second of November, wasn’t there another
“ bull ” somewhere?

At the reunion of the old Tenth C. V. at
Stony Creek, on Thursday, there were 150
members present, just two of whom were
discovered to be for Hancock. There was'
great applause at the reading of a letter from
Captain Eagles cxcusing his absence on ac—
count of the arrival of twins whom he had
named Garfield & Arthur. The Norwalk
representatives at the reunion were B. S.
Keith. Caleb Wood and Isaac Bowc.

 

The Parallel Road. .

At the adjourned hearing before the rail—
road commissioners in the matter of the
New York, Connecticut and Eastern Rail-
road,the attorney for the road, asked for an
adjournment in order to show the validity
of the subscriptions to the capital stock of
the company, which had been called in
question He asked this as a mattcrof pro-
tcction to the gentlemen and to their per-
sonal honor and credit, no matter what de-
cision the board may have arrived at in re—
lation to the legal existence of the company.
The commissioners granted an adjournment
until Tuesday, September 28, at 10 a. m.,
with the understanding that it was solely for
the purpose of giving the New York, Connec-
ticut and Eastern proper the privilege they
asked for—the showing of the fact that their
subscriptions were bona fide—plainly inti-
mating that it would not affect the decision
they had arrived at in regard to the legal
point made. '

Club Room Meeting. .

.At the regular weekly meeting of the
Garfield and Arthur 'club, last Wednesday
evening. Rev. Mr. Wing, of the M. E,
church, made an able and earnest appeal for
gout] citizenship and intelligent. voting. Rev.
,«Mr. Fuller followed in a strong argument for
loyalty and sober acting 'and voting. Attor-
ney WOOdburY gave a spirited address in
which he satirizcd the democracy’s profes-
sions of love for honesty and fair dealinggby
calling to mind the class of statesmen the
Tweed thieves of New York thrust upon the
unsuspecting voters of this senatorial district.
He narrated the millions they openly and
defiantly stole from the tax payers of the
Empire State, and showed that wherever
modern democracy had had the power the
sumc iniquilics prevailed; Rev. Mr; Haul-
enbcek 'fbllowcd in one Of his stirring
speeches, and chairman E. J. Hill closed with
a few telling statistics. The meeting was

a royally good one.

The Adelphl.

Our steamer encountered an unusually
severe storm on her last trip, Monday, 30th

- ult.,abricf notice of whichwas printed in ._
. ourlast issue. .We have since learned that

Capt. Anderson, whose reputation for care
and caution is a guarantee of safety, con-
cluded to await the cessation of the gale in
Greenwich harbor especially as a crack in the
upper flange of the steam chest allowed con—
siderable steam to escape. The Adelphi re—
turned to New York for repairs the next
morning. She resumed her regular trips on
Thursday, her place having been supplied by
the Americas, while this slight injury to her
machinery was being repaired.

General Grant hits the mark in his letter
to General Logan when he says: “It will not
do to be beaten now. We should never be
beaten until every man who counts, or repre-
sents those who count, in the enumeration to
give representation in the Electoral College,
can cast his vote just as he pleases, and can
have it counted just as be cast it.” There is
no more important issue than this.

 

 

The negro in South Carolina gives signs of
his intention to claim his rights as a citizen,
and therefore he must be taught his place.
The Aiken Journal and Review says: “It then
behooves the democrats to go to work at once
and forestall the plans of the radicals. The
first thing to be done is to reorganize the red
shirt mounted clubs. Let every meeting,
democratic or radical, be fully attended by
them.” '

 

Another beautiful, grey granite monument
has just been put up in the cemetery. It is
to the memory of the late U. S. Senator,
Orris S. Ferry, and is unique in design, and
marked by a solidity and extreme simplicity
in harmony with the characters of the noble
man, whose memory it perpetuates.

The Highway Committee in looking after
the enforcement of the Borough By-law in
regard to trimming off branches of trees
which hang over the sidewalk, have encount-
tered a still greater nuisance right in our
business center, and that is the manner in
which many of our merchants have the

awnings hung over their stores, they being

in many instances so low as to sweep the
heads of passers by, and in rainy days inter-
ferring with the carrying of umbrellas. We
understand that the committee propose hav—
irg the evil remedied by having the ownings
raised higher.

While regretting to part with him here his

Serious Accident.

A little before seven o'clock Monday
morning; Mrs. Julia Bouton, wife of Frank
Bouton, was struck by the 6:52 up train at
the crossing at the east end of the Norwalk
draw-bridge. She had taken her husband
with her father’s horse to the east end of the
South Norwalk bridge, where he got out and
walked over to his work, and she turned her
horse ahd was returning towards her home
when nearing the crossing her eye caught
sight of a freight train coming down from
the east. In front of her‘ was a gentleman in
a buggy and as there was considerable dis-
tance between them and the freight train
this team went safely across the track, and
she essaying to follow was struck by Conduc-
tor Lyon’s Stamford special going east,wbich
had come upon her unawares. The pilot
‘struck her carriage near the near—side front
wheel hurling it across the roadway and in—
to a telegraph pole on the east side of the
crossing and dashing it into pieces. The con-
cussicn threw Mrs. Bouton nearly 'a rod over
the fence on to the side of the southeast
ban‘s, where she was picked up insensible and
conveyed to the nearest house by the passen-
gers and train~hands. The horse was carried
before the pilot about twenty rcds before the
train was stopped, and was cut and mangled
into mince-meat He was a valuable animal
and cost Mr.‘Raymond $225 some two years
since. The carriage was Of little value. Dr.
Pardee was immediately summoned, and or-
dered‘Mrs. Bouton removed to her home.
She was found to have sustained a severe con-
cussion but wonderful to relate with only
slight bruises upon her chin and lips and the
loosening of one front tooth. She almost im-
mediately recovered consciousness and as—
sisted herself materially in the removal home.
At noon her pulse and temperature were both
below a hundred, her eye bright and her
special interest seemed to be concentrated
upon -Dr. Pardee’s details of his mode of
making good beef tea, she having left home
before breakfast expecting to be back in sea- -
son for the morning meal. All in all it is
one of the most marvelous escapes from a
fatal accident that we have ever known.

The statements of eye witnesses seem to
agree that the freight train neither blew any
whistle or came to a stop, while the up-train
engineer whistled continuously until his en-
gine struck the carriage of the imperiled
lady, and then came to a ball: as soon as pos-
sible. '

Mrs. Bouton is the daughter of Mr. Ros-
well Raymond, who lives in the first house
beyond John Osborne, Esq. She is about
nineteen and was biit recently married. Un-
less some internal injury developes, of which
Dr. Pardec could discern no signs, there is
every reason to expect that Mrs. Bouton will
be up and about again in a very short time,
but it will be along time before she attempts
to cross a railroad track in front of a train
again. .

 

The democracy were so incensed because
the Boys in Blue secured Hardenbrook’s
Hall, that they at once retaliated by engag-
ing Lockwood’s Hall for one night in each
week during the campaign wtih the shrewd
proviso that the Hall should be leased to no
other political party before election. The
Republicans still live, however, and will
hold their first rally to—night at the Opera

House.

strawberries.

S. S. Durand of Irvington, N. J., is one of
our most justly noted pomologists. He has
propagated more choice varities of straw—
berries probably, than any man living. Hls
Great Americans, which in his New Jersey
grounds exceed in size and flavor, anything
we ever saw—do not succeed well here-
abouts, but his “Pioneer” does better with
us than in Mr. Durand’s own grounds. 'It is
too soft for a market berry, but for the
family table, we know no berry superior to
it. It ripens from the let to the 3d of J une,
is lusciously sweet and piney in its flavor
and a good grower and bearer. It should be
in every :Connecticut gentleman’s garden
collection. '

The Hancock men have taken a fresh lik—

run out from Ike Lee's the identical flag that
they so disgraced by hanging Union down
and at half-mast on hearing of the inaugura—
tion of President Hayes. In Washington
they are more courageous and the rebel flag
of stars and bars was hung out in honor of
the recent democratic gathering there.

“Painless Dentistry.”

A new discovery in the science of Dentis-
try is attracting great attention, It is called
“Naboli,” and it is claimed that its use ab—
solutely prevents all pain in excavating and
preparing cavities for filling, no matter how
sensitive the teeth. It is represented as per-
fectly harmless to the teeth and health, as it
contains no poisofibus or deleterious substan-
ces Whatever. No accident can occur from
its use, and it does not usually prolong the

Democratic newspapers, outside of the
State of course, are making the ridiculous
claim that the Hon. James E. English has
always been. victorious in his political con—
tests. The fact is, as we have said before,
that no candidate for a State ofilce in Con-
necticut during the pastfifteen years has.
been oftener beaten, and no man has paid
dearer for meagre majorities when elected
than has Mr. English. While other demo-
cratic candidates for the governorship during
that period have counted their majorities by
the thousands, Mr. English never but once
in the six times he ran for the office succeed-
ed in getting over 1,000 majority, and three
times failed of an election entirely.——New

the open declaration of the Depauws, propri-

club of seventy—five members ' has been

What Practical Men Want How.

The fatal mistake of nearly all estimates as
to the probable votes Of New York, Connec-
ticut and New Jersey next fall is that the
temper of business men is not sufiiciently
considered. There has not been a contest

«for twenty years in which the interests of

merchants, manufacturers, artisans, labor-
ing men, investors and bankers were more
clearly involved than in the one now pend-
ing. Not for twenty years have such voters
shown a keener appreciation of those inter—
ests, or a stronger dispOsition to protect
them. In short, this is emphatically a
business men’s fight. They will take good
care that it does not go against them in States

where their influence is as great as it is in

New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.—
Tribune.

Southern oratory does not suit the North—
ern voter, that is clear. The Democrats of
Vermont have just had a disastrous experi-
ence with it. They imported a Confederate
by name Colonel Martiu,—from Mississippi,
who, they hoped, would be able to show
that the South was ripe for reconciliation].
He was altogether to honest. Unmindful of
the fact that thgiNorthern explanation of the
big Democratic~ majorities in the South-is
that the negroes vote the Democratic ticket,
he stood up on the stump and said :~ “We
are charged with stealing the negro vote.

Well, are we to blame for it 1’ Those who
gave the negro a vote forgot the Lord's

 

clause which says “Lead us not into temp-
tation.’ They' ’ gave the right to vote
the negro. By so .doing they gave
to the South forty-six additional electoral
votes and forty-six additional members of
Congress. Now, we determined to get
those electoral votes and those members of
Congress, and wehave got them. Are we
to blame for it! "The Republicans tempted
us, and we fell. New that we have them
we propose to keep them.” The colonel has
been discontinued, but he has refrained
from charging an “obscure newspaper writ—
'er" with misconstruing, his sentiments or
f‘forging” his language.
