Tuesday,Novembcr 23, 1880. Editor Byington has been confined to his house by illness, during the past week. This illness is no doubt due to the untirlng and laborious work done by him during the late canvass. Even had he so willed it he could not have done otherwise, for_it was continu- ally, where’s Byington, Byln on this and Byington that, until it seem that nobody could or would do an ing without first consulting “Homer” as e is familiarly call- ed. He will not, perhaps, thank us for hav- ing indited this nor what we are now going to say, but we sincerely believe that to him more than any other person belongs the credit for the large and unprecedentedma— jorily given by this town for the Republi- can, candidate's: His many acts of kindness, while‘at Washington, to and for those hav. ’ing friends in the late war of the rebellion, ‘ - ublicau, it made no dificr— Eggoggigingé pthat should not be forgot ten, and we are sure that all such so be- frieuded will j-illl with us in wishing hlm a speedy and full recovery—South Norwalk Republican. ' Our friend is ou':y t )-l kind. We have [.0 disposition, where every Republican did so grandly well, and so many bit‘lerto Deme- crats broke from the shackles of their COI- rupt party and boldly voted with us,’ to take even the “Lyon’s share of praise" for tie welcome result. But as our friend has put the meter befurc the public, and so many stories. about our illness, sceem to have excl- It'd the interest of friends we will simply ex- Illilln. For a period of some five weeks pri- or to the election we found enough ,to en- gage every energy of body and mind for from sixteen to twenty hours .out of the twenty— four. The natural result was that for ten days before election We had lost all power of refreshing, recuperating rest from sleep. Had the result been adverse we presume we might have forced~ to the surface enough “reserve power" of nerve to have still bat— tled to hold the fort, but the triumph being so complete and nothing left to fight for, our nerve tension gave way and with a severe cold brought on a sort of general physical collapse, without developing any specific dis- ease. We have suffered terribly from hell- ralgiazand old ralgia,from acute inflammation of the throat glands, and about all the pande- monium upset and overstrained nerves can kick up. but we have not had diptheria, epi- zootic, glanders, mania a pain, or even Democratic rabies; not that we know of. That, bolstered up in bed we can still pencil off now and then a line or so for the “Dean GAZETTE," and having “enjoyed” a Dr. Tan— ner fast for the past twelve days, we are looking hopefully forward to Thursday next when, by right of custom, if not permission of the doctor, we may help eat the annual Thanksgiving turkey—and join in the sin- cere hope that every reader of the old GA zsr'rr: may be able to do likewise. # The many personal friends and admirers of Secretary Sherman hereabouts, will re- joice in the growing prospect of his being elected to fill the vacancy in the United States Senate caused by Gen. Garfield’s election to the Presidency. After having for four years filled, not only the most labo- rious and trying of all our Governmental Departments, but the most responsible and exacting department as well, and having achieved a fame throughout the financial world not a whit inferior to that of Alexan— der Hamilton, it is quite natural the great Secretary should prefer such a “change" of office labors as would at least prove less exausting to a greatly overworked physical nature. There would be an “eternal fitness” in Mr. Sherman's being sent back to the Senate of ‘the State he has done so much to honor,—the retributive and “exact justice" of it, would also be quite agreeably apparent to all who closely watched proceedings at the Chicago Convention. By all means, let Ohio honor herself and gratify the nation by re-electing J om: SHERMAN to the Senate. How it is Looked Upon From Abroad A prominent business man, in London, ac- tively engaged in extensive European and American commercial affairs writes the edi~ tor of _the Gazn'r'rs that, “the feeling throughout England, among the best classes, is one of satisfaction over the result of there- cent American election; the hope and belief being that it will have a tendency to revive the greatly depressed industries of Great Britain, because of the stability and contin~ uance of improved business, the result would seem to guarantee to the States.” There can be no doubt of the correct conclu- sions to which our Trans-Atlantic cousins have arrived as to the results of the election of Garfield and Arthur. The Bennett Testimonial. It is announced that the testimonial which Mr. Morison’s committee have procured, will be formally presented to ex-treasurer Eli B. Bennett, at the Athenteum, on Wednesday . evening, at 7:30 o’clock. The Rev. J. A. Hamilton has consented to deliver the pre- sentation address. It is Doctor James G. Gregory, who is to have the place of Surgeon General, on Gov. elect Bigelow's staff. Dr. Brush may very ' naturally feel that “another mistake has been made by his party somewhere.’,’ that the ‘ honor did not fall upon his shoulders; he will nevertheless admit,as everybody does, a better selection could not possibly have been made than in the proffer which Gov. - Bigelowhas cxgended to Dr. Gregory. The “boys" all hope the Dr. will put aside his usually modest blushes and accept, for we 'happen to know the Governor’s desire to make special recognition of old Norwalk's 315 majority for the ticket. A Danbury chm came down the other day evidently seeking amusement. He found some of “the boys," and the result was in- stead of winning a pile of money, he lost all he had. He then made out complaints and had his partners in crime arrested for gambling or swindling. They were held for trial, and a spectator, aNew York “Doctor,” who was produced as a witness, was arrested for perjuring himself. All but the Dr. gave bonds. # Certain newspapers and public men are busy trying to “provide” for Gen. Grant, at the Government expense. The latest idea is to make him a Senator-at-large for life. If they will only let him alone, the General will provide for himself. He is quite capable of doing so. ' - Dr. Childs. The Rev. Dr. Childs has taken up his residence in Washington for the winter, where he is to supply the pulpit of the 181k street Presbyterian church. The Doctor has , . taken the house of Commodore Hanscom, . 1119 I street, Gen. Garfield's house being on the next corner west. The American Board of Publication 1334 Chestnut street, Phila., have just issued in neat form a sermon of Dr. Childs entitled “Christ his own witness. " . It is one of the clearest and ablest arguments , against the modern theory of athe Divine Saviour being a man only in nature, that we ' have seen. We presume Bookseller Selleck would order copies for any of the many friends of Dr. C. llereabouts, who might desire a copy. Railroad Changes. C T" 3 ' Several quite important changes were made - “ on the New Haven Road yesterday. The ‘ ‘- .’ early train down from Bridgeport now starts ' from New Haven. running on about the same time. A train leaves New York for Bridgeport at 8:20p. m., and the express up " leaves an hour or so later than before. Next ' . Monday, it is expected, changes will be made . . on all the railroads in this vicinity, when the . 5 . new time tables will be advertised. , The appropriation of $7,000 for the erec- ”lion of a lighthouse in Stamford harbor, is not sufficient “entrust the building, as it will have tobe built on rocks. The Light~ house Board will ask Congress for an addia tioaal appropriation of 138.000. The Speakership. We have noticed with pleasure that the papers of the State, while advocating in some instances, and very properly, the claims of the candidates from their locality, speak appreciatively of the fitness of JOHN H. PERRY, Esq., of Fairfield for the position of Speaker of the next House of Representa- tives. He will be, we think, the unanimous choice of the Fourth Congressional District, and should receive the nomination. In advo-, eating his election we haVe no desire to detract in any way from the other gentlemen prominently named for the place. Hartford county presents Wm. 0. Case, Esq. 0f Granby, and Charles E. Mitchell, Esq., of New Britain. Mr. Case resides in Hartford county, but his law office and presumably his day-time interests are in New Haven. Fairfield county had her last Speaker in 1862. Sines thian Hartford county has been repre sented in the chair three times and New Haven county elyllt. Windham county presents J ohu M. Hall, Esq, of Willimantic. Since 1862 Windam county has had three Speakers. In 1878 and ’79 Fairfield county presented a perfcttly unexceptionable candi— dlte iu the person of Judge Brewster, a gentleman whom the General Assembly and Stale have honored, but was compelled to give place first to Hartford, then to New Haven county. We submit that a fair division of honors harms no one. We point with pride to this Congressional District finally rescued; to Republican representatives returned from towns in it which were never known to be Republican before, and to lodg-continued democratic majorities wiped out or diminish- ed in a perfectly unprecedented way, all the result of thorough and self-denying work, and claim that our District and county merits the recognition which wlfiask. To say that Mr. Panes is a liberally ' edu- cated gentleman pf social and professional standing, courteous and impartial, would be saying no more than can be as well said of the other candidates. If he has not fistump- ed the State” he has, at least, worked his own locality so faithfully that since he began in 1876 the theretofore hopelessly democratic town of Fairfield has sent nine Republican representatives ; to the General Assembly. In the lower Houses of 1877—8, although one .of the youngest members, he took a leading part and was chairman, each year, of two important committees. The record discloses that he was called to the chair often,—more frequently than any other one member. His ability in that position is. described by mem- here of both parties, well qualified to judge, as rare. This he seems to acquire by right of birth, for his father, the Hon. 0. H. Perry, was so good a speaker that he held the office for both the years 1859 and 1860 almost without opposition. . Again disclaiming the least desire to de— tract in any way from the fitness of the other candidates named, we claim that the argu— ments, whether from locality or personal fitness, are unansw erable in favor of our can-' didate. Thanksgiving Services. On Thanksgiving day the Baptist, Metho- dist and Congregational Sdcieties will unite in holding services at the 2d M. E. church, at 11 o’clock, a. m. The Rev. Mr. Hamil- _ton of the Congregational church is expected to preach the sermon. Matrimonial Epidemic. There seems to have recently broken out to the south of us, a regular matrimonial epidemic, or else like the prudent man of Scripture, the happy swains forseeing the evils of an approaching hard winter, have prudently fled to the succoring warmths of matrimony as the easiest means of getting out of the cold. The first delightful event we have to record in this line is the marriage of the youngest daughter of Mrs. Captain Smith, of Smith's Island. Miss Linda Edith Smith was married on the 4th inst. to Mr. Charles Chamberlain, Jr.,of New York, and will “re- ceive" Thursdays during December, at her winter home at the St. Cloud Hotel. The next was a genuine surprise, which came with such suddenness, it nearly took the breath away from the village gossips,‘ both male and female, in the marriage of one of Norwalk’s most beautiful and_accomplish- ed daughters, at Elmenworth, last Wednes— day. Miss Hattie Hungerford, daughter of Henry Hungerford, Esq., was married to Mr. Edward Candee, of New York, at 3:15 p. m., and after the ceremony the happy couple took Mr. Greeley’s advice and started West, expecting to visit Chicago and other prominent places before their return. As no good work can be properly sustained without the aid of the press, R. H. Golden, Esq, the younger member of the Sentinel firm of Golden Brothers, was united to Miss S. Fannie Lockwood, of Brooksidc, on Thursday Evening last. Miss Lockwood is the accomplished daughter of William R. Lockwood, Esq., and will be remembered by many of our citizens who used to visit Miss Rice's celebrated Darien School as one of her most accomplished pupils. This happy pair, to their praise be it said, set a most sensible example of “good old times come again,” in that after the marriage ceremony at the bride’s home was over, they quietly repaired to the new home previously as « cted by them in the city, and statted off on life's sunny voyage in the style of our dear grandpas and grandmas, as sober and honest and steady as if nothing unusual had happened. ’Tisn’t Every couple can 'have an annual Golden Wedding anniversary, but the young people can and they deserve it. May their skies never be less golden than now. Capt. George W. Day, of South Norwalk, also was overcome by the prevailing epidemic and he too led, as was befitting, one of our town's blushing widows into the net of matrimony, on Wednesday last. The Capt. and bride sailed east on their wedding voy- age as was appropriate, for in the Orient slumber the sources of Day. Rev. C. M. Selleck united in marriage, on Tuesday evening last, at the residence of her uncle, Builder David M. Platt, Miss Jennie Holly to Mr. Edward Butler of New York. Miss Holly was a graduate of Fitch's Soldiers Home and a most accomplished and beauti- ful young lady. Among the gifts presented to the bride was an elegant set of china (180 pieces), silver service (13 pieces), a large case of silver, comprising spoons, knives, forks, etc., a very elegant marble clock, a case of toilet bottles filled with the choicest perfu- mery, a very large and beautiful Bible, a gift from the father of the groom, a handsome easel and picturc,Shakespeare’s and-Dic’ken's volumes complete, two handsome casters, a sett of table linen of the finest quality, a pair of very elegant napkin rings, a pair of vases, a pair of statuettes, butter knives, sugar spoons, pickle castors, butter dishes, call bell, choice engravings, and other articles of more or less value, too numerous to men- tion. The happy couple may well be proud of such assurances of friendship, for it is seldom such quantities of elegant presents are bestowed on a young couple as they were the recipients of. The bridal pair took cars for the nation’s capital at the conclusion of the ceremonies here. Much interest hasbcen manifested in finan- cial circles in this State over the failure of C. Risley 85 Co., coffee dealers in New York, as several of our State banks were known to be large creditors. At a meeting of the creditors last weckghlonday the condition of the firm was represented as follows: total li- abilities, $806,765.53; actual liabilities, $524, 072; actual assets, $229,047. The firm of- fered to settle for forty cents on the dollar, but the offer was not accepted as it was thought they could do better. Among large creditors are the Phoenix National bank of Hartford, $70,862.49, the Hartford National $12,004 27, and the Fairfield County Nation- al, $24,700. But we are glad to be assured that these banks will not lose largely, as each one holds a large amount of good business paper for the payment of which; they'do not look to Risiey ctr Co, The Winsted News, democratic, has sus- pended. .a—.——-———— A Tea party was held at the 2d M.

In our last we cautiously but truthfully wrote as follows: The same committee, it is said, sent a fee simile plate of the letter to a prominent Democrat of South Norwalk. who is reported 'to have employed our friends of the Sentinel to print copies therefrom all day Sunday previous to election, and which copies were very appropriately circulated by night about the town. In attempting to deny the implied charge the Sentinel flounders about in nearly a column and succeeds only in showing of its bad grammar, bad language, and worse manners. As the name of the Editor of the Sentinel is a noun of multitude, it would have been difficult to have determined which striker were at the anvil except for the coarse use of the offensive words “lie" and “lying” so freely indulged in. This clearly denotes that somebody has been hit on the raw and is smartiug from his sores. Surely this could be none other than the Democratic Brother of the firm, for surely, all the others must be joyous and happy over the result of the election and would not make such an uncalled for effort to exhibit oue’s self in the character of a blackguard. But we intended to do _our neighbor no injustice last week, nor will we now. We prefer to reply to him as the gentleman we have always esteemed him, despite his unjustifiable provocation. We repeat the truth of all we stated in the paragraph quoted above, and might name as among our many informants, one who has been, and is, recognized as one of the Sen tinel's most helpful friends. But please read what we say. We repeat a common report, as publicly known at South Norwalk as that an election was held. The Sentinel denies it printed the forged Chinese letter, but says :-- “We do not say we would not have printed such a circular had we been asked, and the price demanded for the work been tendered. We run a printing office, and it will print f- 1‘ either party, and we have never yet refused to do a job of printing unless we were posi- tive it was libellou- or infiecent, and we would have printed fac similes of the forged letter had either Democrat or Republican wanted them, but that we did print them We deny, and that whoever “reported” that we printed them reported what was not so, and the Gazette in giving currency to the “report," as it has done in many cases before, resorted to the contemptible practice of insinuation, which is the meanest sort of lying.” When the Sentinel denies it printed copies of that ktter on Sunday, we fully believe it. We never could see why the Democratic committee should go to that expense while sending New York.'printed copies to the Democrat by the thousands, for it to distrib- ute, but the improbable stery was “reported" jut as we gave it and we were shown four or five “sets” of these papers by as many dif- ferent South Norwalk citizens, who all agreed in the statement that the papers were printed at the Sentinel ofilce and on Sunday. That piles of these documents were openly carried out of their allies on Sunday and up stairs over their ofiice, apparently for the purpose of being folded above. Now about the truth at the bottom of these rumors We know nothing. but we no more doubt that the Sentinel was engaged printing some part- of that political “nest” of Democratic docu- ments which was distributed all about that same Sunday night than the Sentinel itself does. Our neighbor is frank enough to say, "That no circular was printed in our office, on Sunday or anv other day. that contained the con- tents of‘ that Ietter'.” Will it be equally honest and frank and , tell a now interested public what it was it did-V print ? We are ready to admit its own testi- mony in the matter, and pause for its reply. The Neptune club has lost one of its most active members in the death of Judge E. J. Taylor, who was the highly esteemed Judge Advocate of the club. . ‘ .—.——————— . The Ordination of H. H.

PURE Mum—In large towns and cities perhaps the question hardest to decide in households, is how to obtain really good and fresh milk, especially for children, at any— thing like reasonable cost. The plan recent- ly adopted here by Miss Peaslee, of Ledge- wood Farm, is evidently the best yet known. The milk is put up in glass bottles, securely corked, sealed so that it cannot be tampered with, served every morning, and warranted pure and fresh. We have sampled it, and find it unusually rich and good, and cannot see why this plan should not be entirely satisfactory to the consumer, although it must necessarily cause much [extra care and attention on the part of the dairy folks. A specialty is made of milk from one cow for children and invalids. The Assistant Clerkshlp. Mr. Charles P.
