~ . Thanksgiving. ‘
The rte—eminently New England festival
of honest home influence was duly'observed
and apparently more than ever enjoyed by
the people. Our people seemed to I811 a
degree of uaukfuluess for the general good
health, for the wide-spread apd growing
prosperity, for national peace and the auspi—
eious ending of our heated presidential
canvass. In services at the churches and
hearthstouc re-uuiz nus there were reverent and
joyous recognitions of God's unbounded
goodness to us as a people, and in a wide and
I -ltnlic remembrance and supplying of ihe
:uls of the poor, a Christ-like recognition
t M: brotherhood of man. Even the dear
shtu .r seemed to enjoy a larger share of
t. =.r-l.sgiving happiness than usual, and all
in all, Thanksgiving day, 1880, W one of

Annual Borough Meeting.
The annual Borough Meeting for the elec-
mm of Warden, Court of Burgesses, two
Water Commissioners, and other officers for
lllt: ensuing year, is to be held at' the Town
llouse on Monday next, as per notice of the
Warden in our adv. columns. Our citizens
should see to it, that none but the best men
are chosen, those who have the welfare and
interest of our Borough at heart; all those
who have any special axes to grind should be
decidedly let alone. The annual reports will
be read and acted upon immediately after
the close of the polls in the afternoon, i. c.
at three o’clock. .
Congress.
Commences next Monday and expires at noon
on March 4th.

Electoral Colleges.
Tomorrow, Wednesday Dec. 1st, is the
day fixed by law for the Electoral Colleges
of the several States to meet and declare
their ballots for President and Vice President.
Such vote, certified to by every elector,
is then sealed and mailed to the Vice Presi-
dent, and another vote similarly attested is
placed in the hands of a special messenger
chosen for the purpose, whose duty it is to
deliver it to the Vice President in person,
before the first Wednesday in January.
Extra caution will be taken by Republican
Electors this year in all their action to con-
form to the strict letter a spirit of the law.
Not because anyone doubts _or questions
Garfield's election, but then, you know, so
as not to lead a Democratic Congress into
the temptation of doing any mean thing.
”
Sheriff—elect Chas. H. Crosby, is declared
by the official oanvassers to have a plurality
of 312, and a clear majority of 204. The
. greenback candidate for sheriff got 93 votes,
The prohibition candidate got 11 votes. The
Sheriff-elect assumes ofiice June next.

The Parallel.
A new survey of the proposed Parallel
Railroad is now being made, and last week
an entirely new and better line was run be-
tween Norwalk and Westport, that will save
at least a half million ‘of dollars in construc-
tion, it is claimed. This newline runs south
of the present draw bridge at Westport, cuts
the hills near the residence of Josiah Ray
mond, and thence runs due west to Norwalk,
running near and north of the Roscoe place
on Westport road, and thence south of Allen
Betts’ mill to northi'west side of Union
School house. Engineer Banks of Norwalk,
is employed in running the new lines.

Removal. _
Quite an excitement pervaded our village,
Saturday, in consequence of notices posted
up in the shoe factory of J. & T. Cousins,
notifying their employees of the intended
removal of their works from Norwalk to
Grand street, New York, on the 22d inst.
Rumors of a contemplated removal to New
York and Brooklyn have been rife for several
months past, but in answer to inquiries,
the proprietors have asserted that while
they were not satisfactorily accommodated
here, nothing definite was determined upon
and no immediate change was probable. We
believe the main reasons for the change are
that the business requires more room, that
female labor can be obtained more readily
and at cheaper rates, and a large amount of
expense in freights on materials sent up, and
return of manufactured goods to New York,
can be saved by locating in the city. All of
the Messrs. Cousin‘s employees who can,
will we learn, accept the firm's invitation to
follow them to New York, but there are very
many who will be unable to do so and whose
loss of work at this season of the year will
fall with peculiar hardship upon themselves
:JZLI families We are told that Mr. Asa
Smith ltas.alwuys been ready and indeed
anxious to increas: the room required by the
lace wtflrs to any extent the proprietors
might have wished, and with the increase
of cost of doing business in New York city
and the inevitable trouble besetting every
kind of nufacturer in our large cities
growing out of trades unions, we feel sure
our friends will find they have not bettered
themselves by this precipitate change of
base. We voice the universal feeling when
we say that while everybody deeply regrets
the departure of this popular and enterpris-I
ing firm, from among us, no one is so illiber-
alas not to wish them most abundant suc—
cess wherever they may cast their future
lot.

What would a household he were it not
for the dear wee little ones, to make every-

they are to catch and remember things that

he couldn’t be bothered with hunting up
presents for such little ones, now." The
lady entreated, because the little fellow was
such a dear good boy,—couldn't he find

The Democratic New Departure.
Tradition has it that one of the students in
the Hdrvard Divinity School, being once
asked what he intended to do after gradua-
tion, replied: “Damfino; preach the Gospel,
I s'poss.” Andthe Democratic party, being
‘0 in future PrmpeCts, seems to have settled
in despair upon the preaching of the Gospel
of Civil Service Reform in default of a better.
“When the Devil was sick,
The Devil a monk would be;
But—when the Devil got wel -—
The Devil a monk was he i”
The new Democratic idea of Civil Service
Reform consists in two vivid and burning
beliefs: First, that the civil service is in a
very bad way, being filled to overflowing
with Republz‘oms; and second, that it is
highly desirable to get these places for
cook’s election was to have solved the whole
problem, and accomplished the second highly
desirable result, by "bouncing" all the
Republican office holders, and putting the
d. bill (I. Democrats above-mentioned, in
their places "John J. \‘Valsh, Esq,” would
then have been hunting for signatures to his
application for a District—Attorneyship, or
mayhap a vacant. judgeship; and Grand
Marshall Honnccker’s fingers would at last
have closed with the eagerness of hope
deferred, upon that elusive postmastcrship.
But alas! for the original plan of Democratic
Civil Service Reform—Hancock wasn‘t
elected worth a cent, and would-be district
attorneys and postmasters must be content
with such local crumbs as the minority
representation humbug and a chance Borough
ofiice may offer. In this unlocked for phase
of national affairs, a bright idea struck some
of the brighter Democratic papers. The front
attack was a failure; why not try a flank
attack? If votes won’t put these Republicans
out of office, why can’t a Democratic
Congress “reform" them out ?- By Jove! The
very thing! And forthwith, putting on the
livery of Civil Service Reform to serve the
Democratic party in, these papers have been
of late playing such fantastic tricks before
high Heaven as makes even George William
Curtis weep, as the last number of Harper‘s
Weekly plainly shows.
Democratic brethren, it won’t (it)! That
sort of reform is altogether too much of the
jug—handle order, all on one side. You
clean your premises and we’ll clean ours in
our own way. There is just one spot on
this continent which is at present conspicu-
ously under Democratic rule, and that spot is
the City of New York. There is an opening
for your philanthropic souls which is by no
means to be sneezed at. Put your ideas in
force there, and,when you have fully demon-
strated your sincerity and ability to rule in
that place, may be the nation will trust you
to begin on the National Civil Service. And
don’t you wish they may!

Marriage Bells.
The pleasant matrimonial epidemic shows
little abatement. The past week has left
sundry couples involved in its silken meshes.
On Wednesday evening last a delightful
company assembled at the Fifth Avenue resi-
dence of the bride’s aunt, and Miss Annie
Cornelia, daughter of the late John S.
Lawrence, of New York, was united in
marriage by Rev. C. M. Selleck, to Manice
DeForest Lockwood, eldest son of Wm. B.
E. Lockwood, Esq., of Norwalk. Thehappy
couple will enter upon the home made joys
of housekeeping at the beautiful residence
here recently purchased by Mr. Lockwood of
Henry T. Morgan, Esq. .
Thursday evenings joyous party assem
bled at the residence of our old friend Edwin
Northrop, Esq., of Winnipauk, the occasion
being the marriage of his daughter Emily A.
to Mr. Louis Potter, of Norwalk. Rev. C.
M. Selleck united the young people _in the
holy bonds, and the presents, the attendance,
and the wedding feast were all of the most
liberal and delightful character.
0n the 24th Rev. Mr. Wing united Mr,
Fred E. Lockwood to Miss Amelia Arnold,
and on the same evening Rev. Dr. Spencer
married our reportorial friend J. H. Wade to
one of South Norwalk’s most beautiful
daughters, Miss Hattie A. Downs. May all
propitious stars shine gloriously and prosper-
ously upon the future lives of these young
people.

The forged Morey letter was known and
boasted of in Bridgeport fully five days be-
fore its publication, and the great revolution
which it was expected tocreate in the aspect
of. political affairs was fully commended on
and discussed—Standard. ,
And so it was here. The precise matter
may not have been fully understood, but
prominent democrats warned 'us of some—
thing terribly disastrous, their party was
about to bring out. There can be no doubt
that information of the contemplated forgery
was sent out all over the country, as gener-
ally and systematically as the order to mark
329 upon the premises of Republicans in
every town. ‘
A Needed Rule.
‘ Many of the stores in New York City now
put in a prominent place, the following
notice: “No cigarettes sold or lights fur—
nished to boys." If some of our Norwalk
stores would adopt and live up to this rule,
there would be healthier, happier, and better
men thirty years from now than the present
generation gives promise of.
To the Editor of the Norwalk Gazette :—
Dsan Sm :—Will you kindly permit me a
word through your columns in regard to the
Arab Troupe advertised to exhibit at the
Opera House on the afternoon and evening
of Saturday next. The Bureau under whose
direction they come, and the high authority
of the commendations they bring, seem to
me to entitle them to the entire confidence of
the public. They are undoubtedly true
natives of Palestine and the East, and accu-
rately represent the dress and many of the
customs of that country. And led, as they
are,by an educated interpreter from the same
country, their entertainment is ,likely to be
of rare interest and instruction to all, and
especially to Sunday schools and students of
the Bible. J. A. Baum-res.

The Bennett Testimonial.
Last Wednesday evening a' goodly com—
pany of our citizens assembled at the Athen-
seum rooms to witness the presentation to
our more than fifty years Town Treasurer,
Mr. Eli B. Bennett, the testimonial designed
to commemorate his long and faithful ser-
vice. The gift comprised a tea set of four
pieces of solid silver, of ancient and unique
pattern. The presentation was made by Rev.
Mr. Hamilton, and Rev. S. B. S. Bissell res—
ponded for Mr. Bennett.
one of peculiar interest to all present, and
very naturally no one seemed more actively
interested than the aged and honored recl-
pient of these testimonials to his long and
. faithful service as Treasurer of the town of
his nativity. .
The following is an abstract of Rev. Mr.
Hamilton‘s remarks :—
‘ Fellow Citizens .' 4
I am indebted to your kindness. expresse
through certain of your representatives, for
thehonor of serving as your spokesman on
this interesting occasion. While I gratefully
appreciate the honor, I can but feel that it
more properly belongs to some one of the
many here gathered, who have been longer
identified with the history of our town, and
more directly connected with its business
activities. But lest any hesitancy on my
part for propriety's sake, might be taken for
lack of interest, I will put modesty aside,
and endeavor as well as I may to perform the
part assigned me in the pleasant work of the
hour. The town of Norwalk dates its estab-
lishment from a period far back in Colonial
days. We feel a kind of pride in her com—
parative antiquity in many of the events that
mark her history, and in the.goodly number
of her men who have made for themselves a
name.
Seeing these as in the perspective of the
past, they impress us as remarkable. But
while it is becoming to keep in mind and
hold in perpetual esteem the meritorious
and the great of former days, we should not
forget the principle that distance lends en—
chantment to the view. At any rate we
should consider that remarkable things and
remarkable men are not of necessity confined
to the past. By neglect of this consideration
the present is often ignorant of its current
rights and honors, and leaves them to the
discovery and appreciation of subsequent
generations.
' It It It! It Ill
Something more than a year ago a Califor-
nia newspaper published as an item, under
the head of remarkable facts, that a certain
gentleman of Norwalk, Connecticut, had just
been elected for the fifty-first successive
time to the ofilce of treasurer of that town.
The statement at length found its way across
the Continent, and appeared as a quotation
in the columns of our own papers. It set us
all a thinking. We thought of our treasurer
in a somewhat new light—of his services as a
whole and not by the year only. An un-
broken service of fifty-two years in one and
the same office, and that an elective one,
began to seem to us, a thing rare indeed.
Surely we were right in thus estimating it,
and it is pre-eminently right and proper that
we have come here to night to give it empha-
sis. When we come to think of it. we perceive
that we are celebrating an event whose para-
lel it is difiicult to find in any history either
of town or country ? The oflicial service of
George Washington was less than fortythree
(43) years,—-a service proverbially' charac-
terized as great,!not more because of its qual.
ity, than its long continuance. John
Adams who is pointed to as the one excep-
tion among men for long service in public
life, served all told, something like fifty-
one years. It is to be noted, however, that in
case of both of these, the service rendered
was not in uninterrupted connection with
one oflice, and their elections, for .the
most part were not yearly nor‘by the people
as such. But our treasurer has for fifty-two
(52) years received his oflice from the peo-
ple, and received it as a new gift each suc-
cessive year. And it should be added with
emphasis that in the matter of his annual
election. the spirit of political partizanship
has uniformly been forgotten, and Norwalk
has yearly exhibited the phenominal specta-
cle of a town without politics.
Now all this means something with re-
spect to the character of the man who
has through so many years served in this
office. It means not simply that he has
served a long time but also that he has served
that long time well. It means that the Town
of Norwalk has believed in him as an honest
man and has believed in him to the last. He
has been Town Treasurer not only in good
old times but also in what is often termed
“these modern times"—these malarial times,
as we have of late been so much in the habit
of calling them.
Men in ofiice and especially in the office
‘of public treasurer, as we read, have shown
some marked and striking symptoms du'ing
the last fifteen years. It seems to have be-
come almost a common thing for them to be
“shaky," as if poisoned by the contagion of
some steady, wide-sweeping epidemic. But
who has ever seen any of the symptoms of
this disease in this our venerable ex-treasurer?
What medico-financial inspector has ever
been summoned to put afinger on his pulse ?
By whom has the suspicion ever been
breathed or thought of that he was other
than absolutely intact and sound? These
questions are answered in their very asking,
asput to the peOple of this town. Nota
single penny of all the hundreds of thou.
sands of dollars intrusted to this officer
during this more than half a century, has
been’ lost through him. The town with one
mind believes this and would emphatically
afiirm it. _
Now what title belongs to such a man as
this? Having known him for nearly seven
years, I am not aware that he has ever been
connected with any body of State or Nation,
which by precedent would enroll him in
the list‘ of those technically styled honorable.
Nevertheles, if any man living is worthy cf 3
name bearing the abbreviated prefix Hem,
Eli B. Bennett is that man.
i I! I! t ‘K’ * *-
Honored Sir, such being the estimate in
.which you are held by the citizens of the
town of Norwalk, they beg leave to present
you this simple testimonial of the same. It
is a tea set of solid silver. Vessels are often
constructed, it is said, for the purpose of
serving other liquids than that of good téa.
But in the judgment of those who made the
selection, the kind here chosen is more in
keeping with your tastes. The material issolid,
as it ought to be in the fitness of things. It is
not, as you see,set off with a lining of burnish-
ed gold; for your official history during the
last fifty-two years has satisfied your fellow
citizens that in your own personal qualities
there is gold enough for you. Their idea
was to consult variety in their gift. It is
also a set after an old fashioned pattern—a
pattern of seventy—five years ago, that has
become new again., And you may be sure
this was chosen for a purpose—chosen in the
earnest hope that the old fashioned principles
which you represent, may speedily come to
be new-fashioned as well.
Let me ask you to accept this this testimo-
nial as meaning just what it claims to mean.
a testimonial by the cititizens of the town of
Norwalk of their profound respect for you
as their treasurer fifty-two years tried, and
never found wanting. '
In response to Mr. Hamilton, the Rev. S.
B. S. Bissell read a short reply for Mr. Ben-
net as follows :—
To all those who so generously contributed
toward this unique and very beautiful gift,
and especially to him who was the prime
moveriin the matter, I desire to return my
sincere' and hearty thanks, assuring them
that as enduring as is thé material of which
this chaste and elaborate token of their es-
‘teem is composed, so lasting will be the
friendship that binds me to my fellow towns
men, and now as we approach the dawn of
another festival in our nation’s history, may.
the memories that cluster around it be sweet
.to you all, and the re-union of kindred be
but the type of that re-union from whence
we shall no more out forever.
Such' an exceptional, and we think we
might say, entirely unprecedented record of
fifty—two years of consecutive service as finan-
cial trustee of a town, was worthy of some
special recognition, and while every good
citizen cordially responded to the suggestion,
it nevertheless required that some one should
take the initiative and conduct the matter to
a successful conclusion. This was most for
tunately and appropriately assumed by T. H.
Morrison, Esq, and whoever has undertaken
similar-labors of love, will readily compre-
hend the time and patience required for such
a completely successful fulfilment of the en-
terprisé. To him, therefore, more than to
any other citizen are we indebted for this act-
of courteous justice and fitting public ex—
pression of the universal sense of gratitude
and respect cherished by the citizens of Nor-
walk for. their faithful, half.century treasu-
rer, ELI B. BENNETT, Esq.
We should be glad to know, if within the
boundaries of the whole United States of
America, there is a case parallel to the fifty-
two years of unbroken amine, just concluded
by Mr. Bennett, as Treasurer of the Town
of Norwalk ? If such there be, it would be
an interesting historical fact, in view of these
latter day spasms of civil service reforms
and we trust our friends of the press will
make public any similar case or one even
nearly approaching it in its long and honor-.
able duration.

The Palestine Arab Troupe.
One of the latest and most taking novel-
ties in the amusement line this season, is the‘
appearance in this country of a native Arab
troupe, whirling Dervish and all. They pet—
sonate the manners and customs of the wild
children of the East. and it is claimed that
they are the only troupe of the kind in the
world. They have been brought to this
country after much trouble and expense in
the organizing thereof by the Redpath
Lyceum Bureau, and Manager Stanley, in
his desire to have something fresh and novel
to present to the Norwalk public, has at a
very great risk secured them for one
afterhoon and evening at the Opera House.
They have met with great success in Boston
and Philadelphia, and the press of those
cities speak in the' highest terms of their
entertainment. They exhibit the native cus-
toms in traveling, banqueting, marrying,
robbing, praying“ salutations, etc. The
genuineness of the troupe is vouched for by
high authority. Large pictures of the troupe
will be on exhibition at Norwalk and South
Norwalk Po‘.t Offices and at the corner drug
store of Howard S. Belts. Rev. Edward
Everett Hale writes of them as follows .-
“The exhibition exhibits so many customs
of the East, that it has a special interest to
students of the Bible. And the propriety
and dignity of every member of the party is
such that I see no reason why it should not
be a very successful entertainment for
churches and Sunday schools.”
They appear at the Opera House on
Saturday afternoon and evening, Dec. 4th.

First-class Farrier.
The ladies will all be glad to know that F.
A. Gunther, the popular furrier, has opened
a store at. 67 Washington street, South Nor-
walk, where he will be more easily accessible
than hitherto, and where everything in the
way of making up new furs, rcpai,ing,
redying, or making over into new styles,
garments already worn, will be done in a
manner not excelled by any of the best
Broadway fur establishments. Mr. Gunther
is a master of his art, and when not employed
on home and local orders, is engaged to do
the. finest work of the best New York City
houses, where his rare taste and skill are fully
known and appreciated. Don’t fail to give
friend Gunther a call, when you require any
service in the for line. As a judge of furs
or workman in pelts he has no superior.

The entries had numbered over 1,200.

“Hamilton Fish,” says General Grant, in
his “Tour Around the World,” “is, I think,
the best Secretary of State we have had in
fifty years, unless it may have been Marcy.
This will be the opinion of those who study
the records of the State Department. He
differed from Marcy and‘excelled him in this
that he never did anything for effect, while
Marcy would often do things for effect. In
this his aversion to anything that looked like
striving for an effect, Fish was so straight
that I sometimes thought he leaned back -
ward.” »

A lady made some very practical remarks
at a Sunday-school Convention in Kingston,
N. Y., a few days ago. She spoke strongly
against the demoralization of tobacco, and re-
marked she might be treading on somebody’s
toes but there was no doubt if there was less
smoking among the male superintendents and
teachers their influence would be greater.
She said one of the greatest hindrances to
school work was the excessive dressing of
children for the Sunday-school. It seemed
sometimes to her like a dress parade. Many-
mothers, shethougbt, who sent their children
to Sunday-school spent more time in dress
and furbelows and fixins to make them shine
off than they did in studying their lessons.
She was afraid the women were much to
blame for this evil. If they wished to dress
their little girls so much, it would be better
to do it for some other place than for the
Sunday—schools.

An old Vermont farmer came home drunk
the other night, and became the victim of an
irrepresible desire to get still 'drunker. So
he thought he would bring out his wagon and
drive over to Shelbnrne Falls for more whis—
key. Just as he was about putting the fin—
ishing touches on the harnessing arrange-
ments he said to himself, “This horse has got
horns P” He brought out his lantern and
found he had harnessed the cow to the wag-
on. He muttered, "I'm drunk enough now,"
unhitched the beast and went into the house
to sleep it off.
Au aged and wealthy Milwaukee widows:

The German consul to‘ Cincinnati arrived
at New York with his family Monday week.
Among his servants was a young woman
who was engaged to work for a term of
years for four dollars a month. She met an
uncle on the dock who had become. rich in
America, and, dropping her- bargain, went to
live with him. There was a row and talk of
a suit, but it was all settled. The point for
notice is the wages for .which servants can
be had abroad. Think of four dollars a
month. ,. l .
