seagofganlmadversion when all other topics
fall. During the past week here, however,
itih‘a's been discussed in a manner showing
an absorbing interest in the subject. When
we took up our local evening paper last week
and saw the thermometer had ranged 13°
beliw me hero and 2° above in Connecticut;
14 abovc'at Fernandina, Florida. and 18
above at. Poriinntl, Maine, the conclusion'
was irresisiaE-lt: that the “solid South," had

illit.‘ put)", and especially the colored people,
are in a terrible condition from want of food
and fuel, there being no public or municipal
sysiciii in’ relief. Friday evening a public
month; of citizens‘ was held and four thou~
sand dollars raised, as it was found that
inn .; families and individuals were both
sot. ring and freezing.
The most extraordinary feature of the
" polar wave” is that it didn’t come from the
poles at all, but from the tropical region of
the Gulf of Mexico. This accounts for its
having been colder in Florida and Texas
than in Connecticut and Maine. ‘T e frigid
tempei'hture has been wafted from nth to
North. In Florida, oranges unpicked are
frozen solid on the trees. In New Orleans
business ‘was nearly suspended,» intense and
unprecedented was the cold. In Georgia,
North and South Carolina, trains have been
delayed by the deep snows and in southern
Virginia and Tennessee country roads ren—
dered impassable. The Appomattox, James
and Potomac rivers are frozen over, and the
ferry from here to Alexandria was forced to
suspend trips early in the week. The signal
service officer on duty here unofilcialiy states
that there has been within the past ten days
three heavy snow storms. They all came
from the Gulf of Mexico. From there they
travel around the northeastern coast of
Florida and go northward along the Atlantic
coast to Newfoundland. The last storm
went on its travels, pursuing the same path
as its twopredeeessors. None of the three
stoma have extended westward. The snows
they have had in that section have all been
light. What snow has fallen in the lake re—
gions has been caused by other storms moving
from Manitoba eastward. The first storm
gave a heavy fall of snow here and in Con-
necticut, but nowhere else. It did not extend
westward even as far as the Alleghanies.
The second storm was very heavy withsnow
in the Atlantic states as far south as the
Carolinas. The storm Christmas day was
the most violent we have had. Last even—
ing’s Star says :—-“The New Year was born
while the mercury in the thermometer was
away down below zero and still falling—the
coldest birth of a year ever known in
Washington. At four o’clock this morning
the minimum temperature was recorded—14
degrees below zero! The oldest inhabitant
racks his memory in vain to recall anything
like it. At 7 o’clock this morning, according
to the Signal Service bulletin, Washington
was the coldest place in the United States."
Saturday evening the temperature had
modified ‘ somewhat. preparatory for more
snow, and the streets of the city were crowd-
ed far into the night with a perfect carnival
of weigh-riders. The poor horses have had
a sorry week of it but the stablemen have
reaped a golden harvest. A single horse and
cutter of . the rudest description readily
brought five dollars per hour, while the few
natty Portland and Albany one-horse cutters
and the crudest two—horse sledges brought
ten dollars the hour. As there is from
fifteen to eighteen inches Of snow still
remaining the probabilities are that the
sleighing' furore and the prices are likely to
abate before the end of this first week of the
new year.
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Some curious facts have bun gained by
the statician of the Agricultural Department
concerning the effects upon the Sugar and
Cotton crops of the South, in. consequence
of the unprecedentsdly severe weather of the
last month. Sugar has suffered in Louisiana
very considerably and '31 order to reeeuc the
crop from the frosts, five dollars per day
were offered cotton hands if they would
desert the cotton fields and turn in and
rescue the sugar. As cotton planters were
already paying three dollars per day. which
was all the market price of the cotton would
warrant. great numbers of cotton hands- left
the latter staple to rot in the fields, while
going to the rescue of the sugar at a raise of
two dollars [it r day on their tilriady unpre—
ccdenlly largo warts. This incident (illus—
trains at least. one :if the advantages of
Liberty to the colored laborer. What is
also a cheering fact, is that despite the tens
and hundreds of thousands of bales of Cotton
which have perished in the fields because of
the planter's utter inability to save it. there
still has been not less than a half million
more bales harvested during 1880 than dur-
ing 1879. The enormous cotton yield of
1880, was due primarily no doubt, to unusu-
ally fine growing weather, up to October,
but the most encouraging fact is, that a much
better system of tillage; better implements,
deeper plowing, more thorough cultivating,
and more general use of fertilizers, than was
ever before known in the south, was adopted
the past year. There was a new departure
in the direction of northern thoroughness”
skill and industry on the part of the planters
of the south, promising grand results for the
future. ’ To this improved system of cotton
growing is largely due the fact that despite-
the terrible weather of the past month,- the
cotton crop already secured so largely ex-
ceeds last year's unprecedented crop, and
still such an enormous quantity yet remains
unharvested.
0n the 15th of the present month the De-
partment will issue its report on the condi—
tion of the Cattle, Sheep, and Swine product
of the United States, for the past year.
Commissioner Le Dnc returned yesterday
from the south, where he was reportedas
‘suowed in," some twenty miles' north of
Charleston. where he want some days ago,to
start an additional experimental .tea raising
‘ plantation.
, GARFIELD's CABINET.
The conjectures as to the probable parties .
.Wll » arc to fill the places in President Gar-
i‘iuivi‘s Cabinet, are thicker than black-birds.
’l‘n- re seems to be a general assent to the
bt‘t'l‘mnh that the President-elect has ten-
(in mi Mr. Blaine not only a place, put his
on ice of places, and that the Maine” Senator
is wriously considering whether it would be
best for him to accept the portfolio of State;
Ex-Scnatar Hitchcock, of Nebraska, is also
qllllt‘ confidently mentioned as See. Schurz’s
siit:e..-ssor in the Interior Department.
There are several prominent Republican
statesmen at Mentor at this time, and more
are going, on the invitation of Mr. Garfield to
con‘t'ir on the subject. The results of the
pending Senatorial elections in several of the
states will exert a potent influence in deter
mining the personnel of the cabinet. It
seems to be conceeded that should Mr.
Blaine decline a place himself, he still would
be invited to name a substitute which would
most likely retain the New England cabinet
position for his own state. .
- INDIANs.
The Chiefs of the Ponce tribe have been
in consultation at the Interior Department
Norwalk Gazette.
Their “talks" with Secretary Sehurz were
very entertaining and showed their untutor-
ed minds susceptible of a good deal of. what
Yankees call cuteness. 'At the close of one
of their sessions, White Eagle, the principal
chief, and six feet two inches tall, saw a
little Norwalk boy among his interested
auditors, and expressed a desire through his
interpreter, to shake hands with the pale-
faced lad. The request being made known
to the child. he at once stepped up and took
the extended palm of the towering indian
which secured to please him much. and
through hlsinterprctcr he begged the little
fellow to "come out to his land and see his
periplc at their homes," promising if he
would tiiat“he would give him an Indian
pt-ny to take home with him." That boy's
one [bought new is, how he can get ticketed
to the Indian country at the next summer
vacation of Dr. Fitch’s school. '
The Si'OiI’x delegation are still here, the
Poncas having returned. Secretary Schurz
has succeeded in inducing them to accept the
very liberal offer made by the railroads of
$5 per acre for privilege of passing through
their reservation. At first they demanded
Seven millions of dollars, and said white
men among them told them to ask it. They
get about $40,000.
PERSONALS.
Senator Hamlin has unadunced that under
no circumstances does he desire to become a
beandidate for rc—election. This leaves the
Maine Senatorship between Frycjand Hale,
with present chances in favor of the for-
mer. '
The venerable Senator and Ex-Vicc Presi-
dent has been a marked curosity here the
past week. He is one of those old-time
veterans, who (like our own venerable and
esteemed Wm. S. Lockwood, Esq.) never, or
“hardly ever" wears an overcoht, no matter
how severe the weather. Thursday after-
noon, when the thermometer was 40 below
zero the venerable Senator created quite a
sensation at one of our hotels by walking in
from the Avenue in his thin, Senatorial claw- .
hammer-tiled coat, and entirely bereft of an
overcoat. “Did you know the thermometer
was below zero Senator ?" asked a friend.
“Down to zero," repried he,—“why, I have
worked in the woods in Maine, in my shirt
sleeves, many a time, with the mercury
twenty degrees below zero," cheerilly ans—
wered the “seasoned” Pine Tree States-
man.
Secretary of War and Navy, Ramsey, is a
regular attendant at Dr. Child’s church. The
Doctor and his pleasant family, seem to
enjoy their Washington homelexceedingly
well. They have a delightful residence, but
we fennd them Friday evening surrounding
their totally inadequate fire-place Latrobe,
depleting the want of some warmth—im-
parting ,Yankee heating apparatus, such an
one for instance, as the Norwalk Foundry
is making the nation’s household completely
warm and comfortable with. The most of
the best houses here, are little better prepared
to combat thopresent terrible cold, than
would be the summer cottages“ studding
Long Island Sound.
The Rev: Augustus Jackson, brother of
Alfred and LeGrand, who'resigned St. Paul’s
P: E. Church, on account of ill health, is so
improved by rest and change that he assisted
Tuesday, in the children's service at that
church and made an address.
New Year calling is an extensive social
institution at the Capitol, and. citizens of all
ages and “previous conditions of servitude”
seem to almost universally join in the pleas-
ant custom. . The President and his Cabinet
Ministers, the Foreign Legations, ofiicers of
the Army and Navy anti heads of Depart-
ments, open wide their doors, and “receive"
the body politic, with democratic unreserve.

By the freezing and bursting of a water
pipe overhead, yesterday, the GAznTTR print-
ing rooms were deluged with water. The
only way to stop the flow was by turning off
the water at the sidewalk. No wrench for
this purpose could be had at the Water
Commissioners office, and no plumber could
he found for a long time who could do it
Frank McKeon finally managed it‘ and the
surplus water s-iou- founo its way into
Burgus Mead‘s quarters and thence tothe
cellar In this connection it does Gem to us
that some provision should be make for such
accidents by the Water Commissioners, so
that users of water could! have the water
shut off without being. obliged to hunt np
plumbers who may be miles away from their
place of business. ‘
New Steamboat.
A number of capitalists in New York,
Philadelphia and other eastern cities have
organized an Iron Steamboat company with
'a capitol of $10,000,000. They propose'to
build a fleet of thirty iron steamboats espe-
cially adapted to the needs of passengers.
Speed, safety and comfort are the three
things to be particularly considered in their
construction. They will be non-combusti—
blczand have numerous water tight compart-
ments, thus guarding against the danger
from fire or collision to which wooden boats
are exposed. They are designed for pleasure
travel at the north in summer and for service
in southern waters during the winter
months. '
It is understood that Com. White is One Of
the leading men in this new enterprise, and
that the new steamer which he proposes to
put upon the Norwalk route is to be built in
the manner above alluded to. John Roach is
to be the builder. With such a vessel the Nor-
yalk route will be one of the very best in the
country, and its popularity will be greatly
increased.
AooIDxNT.—A gentleman from the city of
Boston, while visiting the Iron Foundry of
Messrs. A. C. Arnold & 00., in this place on
Thursday last, to inspect and test a new
blower which they had built for him, lost the
fingers of his left hand, by being caught in
the revolving fan of the blower.
Warden Hyatt and the New Board of
Burgesses received calls on New Years day
at the rooms of the Fire Police. and enter-
tained all who came. They were “sworn
in"’-on that day and will hold their first meet-
ing next Friday evening.
There Was a marked falling Off in the
number of ladies receiving and gentlemen
making calls on New Years day. The day
was bright but cold, and sleighing was good.
Everybody who could get out doors seemed
to be sleighing. there was quite a earni-
val on West ave.

Another star has fallen from the literary
'firmament. ,Epes Sargeant died in Boston
on Thailday night. aged 08 years. He was
always busy, and in addition to laborious
editorial work he produced numerous plays,
stories. poems, essays, biographs, ac.
afternoon, the Committee appointed at the
annual meeting to consider the matter of
funding the floating debt of the town by
issuing bonds, reported that the town debt
$154,000. and they recommended issuinga
series of 10—40 bonds to the amount of $100,
000, said bonds to be 100 in number of $1000
each, and to be placed at a rate of interest
not exceeding four per cent. per annum,the
bonds to bear date of Jan: 1, 1881, and pay-
able 40 years from date, with right reserved
to pay of! same on and after Jan. 1, 1891.
Messrs. James W. Hyatt, "Robert H. Rowan
and Isaac Seileclr, Jr., were-appointed a
committee to issue said bonds. It was also
voted to annually place at interest at least
$1000 from the yearly tax collected as a
sinking fund to meet the payment of the said
bonds.
$4000 was the amount appropriated for the
working and repairing of the town highways
for 1881. -
The question of refunding $35 asked for
by Mr. Ira F.- tioyt, as justly due him, was
laid on the table.
The petition for accepting and working
Reyn‘old's Street and the Shore Road, East
Norwalk, was referred to Messrs. N. J. Craw,
I. Selleck, Jr. and M. 'S. Craw, for investi-
gation and they to report at. a a future mast-
Ing.
A finlarm at about 1 o'clock yesterday
morning, brought out the ;Fire Depertment,
but fortunately it proved nothing serious.
The cause was the igniting of some of the
boards and timbers inside and adjoining the
fireplace in a second story front room at the
residence of Mrs. J '. Lawrence, West avenue,
but being discovered in time, it was extin-
gulshed with but little damage and without
the necessity of flooding the apartments
with water. Mrs. L. returns thanks else-
where.

Tropical Fruits.
That the banana fruit can be raised at ' the
North has been successfully demonstrated
for several years by A. M. Lawrence, Esq.,
of Saugatuck. Several specimens of the
fruit found their way to this ofilce last week.
They were about half the size of the tropical
fruit, but the flavor, was fully equal'tothe
best southern banana we ever tasted. Indeed,
it seemed to us, that there was as much of the
rich banana flavor concentrated in these
specimens as is usually found in fruit of full
size. .
m
The Town Bonds.
We have no doubt but that the new Town
Bonds will be eagerly sought for by persons
desiring to make safe investments. The
committsc to pthe these bonds believe they
can succeed in doing so at a premium. The
amount is not large and there is no prospect
that the town will ever issue any more. We
commend the advertisement of the commit-
tee to the' attention of all persons desiring to
make such investments.
At the entertainment given by the Burnside
Guards last week, an elegant, gold-mounted
sword was put up to be given to the commis-
sioned ofilcer in town receiving the largest
number of votes, ten cents being charged
for each vote. The real contest was between
Major Crowe, City, and Capt. A.A. Betts,
Borough. Co. Founder the leadership of
Lieut. Smith, rallied to the support of their
captain, and ass. matter of course the sword
votes cast, netting the company a handsome
profit. .

History of Fairfield County.
We were shown yesterday a specimen
copy of the new History ,of this COunty
which will be ready for deliver in a few
days. It is a fine specimen of lypographi—

be sure to please the eye, at least. Norwalk,
as the oldest town. comes in for a large
portion of the contents. We are assured
that the work will be delivered only to sub-

Our Water Commissioners are the only
persons authorized to test the Borough
hydrants and they are therefore responsible
for their condition. We presume they will
see to it that they are not frozen up. It
would be very awkward at a fire near the
Bridge, with the thermometer at zero, to be
oblidged to wait for the thawing out of
hydrants.

The harbor is frozen over and is well

Letters from the People.
AN OUTRAGE.
On Friday last, an officer. armed with a
warrant of arrest, appeared at the residence
on Camp street, of one of our most estimable
ladies (the daughter of one whose beloved'and
revered name isa household word among as),
living in unobtrusive retirement and whose
health does not permit .her to walk lo her‘own
gate, and demanded in a peremptory manner
that she should accompany him before a
police court then sitting, to be tried for the
heinous crime of not having cleared her
sidewalk of snow. The victim was not
actually dragged before a magistrate but her
proxy, a lady, was. When the case was
explained to the court, even they were
unwilling to proceed with the matter, as the
delinquent had no idea of the necessity of
doing that which scarcely any of her neigh-
bors had done. The matter was finally laid
before'the Mayor who chivalrously replied,
“Proceed with the ease." The court, how-
ever, under the-circumstances remitted the
fine but demanded costs of $6.58. Of course
it is most necessary that our sidewalks should
be cleared, but why is it that a portion of
the communitny should be notified to that
eflect and the other not? our Mayor
graciously responds to this that it is simply a
matter of courtesy and not necessary accord-
ing to the statute! So then, whichever our
taxpayers the Mayor ehoo'ses to favor, are to
voters, or patrons on the, right side, are to be
fliched indeed. Surely we have an autocratic
Mayor in a Republican town 1 COM.
Our correspondent, perhaps, does not fully
understand the action of the Warden in this
matter. The“ Borough is liable for damages
if any person gets hurt on our streets or
walks, if any negligence can be shown on
the part of the Borough officials as to the
same being in a dangerous state or bad con-
dition for travel, and the by we of the
Borough make it the duty of a l citizens to
have their walks properly cleaned, in what
is deemed a reasonable time, after every
snow storm {and the Court of Burgessss, at
their last meeting, directed the Worden to
enforce the statutes. In this particular case.
we understand, that the person was com-
plained of by a neighbor who had just been
brought up. before the court and fined, and
that was the reason of such summary action.
A Church built by a Christian -
Banker.-
The New .York Observer of Nov. 11, in
its “Irenaeus Letter” has an account-of the
j
Christian worship in the eastern part of
New York which will be the only Protestant
sanctuary in a large and populous district.
The Rev. Drs. John Hall, Samuel Frenacers
Prime, Wm. F. Taylor and Charles S.
Robinson participated in the exercises. The
history of this new enterprise is thus given:
“A friend of the,City Mission, who has long
labored in Christian work, seeing its needs
and being impressed with the importance of
the question ‘How to’reach the mass with
the Gospel?’ is about to erect a building
here for religious worship which shall be in
some measure worthy of the cause it repre-
sents. The new building will cover a plot
of ground nearly a hundred feet square. It
will be constructed of brick, with stone
trimmings, with an elevated tower, and will
be finished and furnished in the most ap-
proved style, with nll modern and tasteful
conveniences and improvements under the
immediate supervision of Mr. Cady the tar--
chitect. It will be a commodious and at—
tractive building, in a good location, which
will at once take a commanding porition as
a permanent institution, and furnish suitable
accommodations for church and Sunday
school and other religious and charitable pur-
poses for generations to come.”
When the moment for laying the corner
stone had come “all eyes were now turned
upon Mr. Morris K. Jesup, with whose
Christian zeal, liberality and foresight the
conception and executionof this enterprise
mentioned in connection with it. He took
his stand by the corner stone, and with a
trowel threw 10 the cement, the stone was
lowered to its place, while he declared in the
name of the Father. the Son, and the Holy
Ghost. '
, The gentleman who is thus named, and
of whom it can be said, “He loveth our
nation and bath built us a synagogue," is a
sdn of COnnecticut by an ancestry, paternal
and maternal, of many generations, residing
in Westport and highly honored. His
father was Charles Jesup. his grandfather
Ebenezer Jesup. both merchants of high
standing, and his maternal grandfather Hon.
Samuel Burr Sherwood, (son of the, first
pastor at Weston.) was 'a former member of
Congress, and related by descent to the an-
cestry of Rev. Aaron Burr, D. D., President
of Princeton College, and father of the gifted
but dishonored—af.er being highly elevated
—Vice President of United States.
Mr. Morris K. Jessup is son-in-law of the
late Rev. Dr. Thomas De Witt of New York.

Christmas Bush at the Poist Office.
The gift-secret business in Washin ton has
acquired monstrous proportions. ot only
are the present dear ones thought of, but the
far-away friends are tenderly remembered.
Absence does not conquer love.at least so far
as’to dispense with the making of presents.
To such an extent has the business of send-
ing away Christmas remembranecs to distant
friends been carried on in Washington this
season that the registry work at the city post
office has, during the past two weeks, been
increased three hundred per cent. over the
usual amount. So great have been the crowds
at the city post oflice sending away packages
of Christmas gifts that it was found necessa-

delivery and put on two extra men to ac-
commodate the demand for postage-stamps.

invariably wants to know how much htr
package weighs, and if it is wrapped up in
accordance with law and regulations. An
ext. pair of scales has been in use during
the past two weeks, and many of the clerks,
who usually get done work at five o’clock in
the afternoon, have been kept until eleven or
twelve O’clock p. m.. without relief. The
city post office officials testify to the very
unusual press of business upon them, far ex—
ceeding anything ever remembered at any
previous Christmas. As an evidence of re-
viving prosperity and of increasing kindli-
nessof heart isa cheering indication.—
