Due GAZETTE :— ' .
What with Senator Conkling’s visit to
Mentor, at Gen. Garfield’s solicitation, the
passage of the Eleven Million River and Har-
bor-bill of the House, and the Funding bill of
the Senate, the week has been one of absorb—
ing interest. All that you see in the papers
explanatory of the New York Senator’s visit,
is the merest conjecture. In one thing, at
least, the President elect has proved his wis— ,
' dom, in that he has been able to keep his own
counsel, and the Empire State Senator is by
no means a leaky vessel. The most probable
story is that Senator Conkling prefers the
Treasury should be given to Representative
Morton in the Went his State is to be given
any cabinet. place. That Gen. Garfield has
another candidate in his mind for that posi—
tion is equally probable. A rum-Jr is also
current that Garfield would be glad to make
err-Senator Fcnton his P. M. General, believ—
ing his appointment would prove acceptable
to both wings of the party in New York. An-
other, that Judge Folger, of New York, may
take the Treasury. It is equally probable
that Gen. Logan and the Illinois Republicans
are pressing Robert Lincoln, the modest yet_
really able sun of the Martyr President, as
their hoped for representative in the Garfield
Cabinet. ,
As a quart of water cannot be poured into
a pint pitcher, it is more thanmrobable that
of the score and more of distinguished
men Gen. Garfigld has had in mind as desir-
able timber for his cabinet, he does not him-
self yet definitely know who the selected
seven may be. The country can stand the
suspense for the very few days now inter-
vening. ' ' .
As was to have been expected where so
many of the jury had their share of the
bacon, the River and Harbor Bill, after a
heated contest has passed the Houée. It will
get some pruning in the Senate, but in all its
essentials will doubtless become a law.
The Funding Bill finally passed the
Senate after a long debate, in which Senator
Bayard ably championed Sec. Sherman’s and
the Republican side of the issue, for a three
and a half per cent bond, but the‘ majority
of the Senate has now adopted the three per
cent interest clause of the House Bill. An
amendment was adopted fixing the amount
of bonds at $400,000,000, and the amount of
notes at $300,000,000. The bonds are to
bear three per cent interest, redeemable after
five years, Or payable at ten years fiom date,
and the certificates are to bear three per cent
interest, redeemable in one year, or payable
at ten years from date.
Secretary Sherman and leading bankers
have been of the opinion that if congress
passed the bill providing for short three per
cent bonds, and requiring the national banks
to take them and surrender the 4% cents, that
many national banks would surrender their
circulation, and thus defeat the object
sought. If this should be done, the bonds
could not be floated successfully, and there
would be a tight money market. As passed
by the Senate the bill differs but slightly
from the House bill and provides for 5-20 3
per cent bonds and 1—10 treasury notes.
Speaker Randall has agreed to champion the
bill just as it goes from the Senate without
sending it back to the House committee,
hoping thereby to pbviatc an extra session,
which for politics reasons the, democracy
especially dread.
BONDS or CIGAR manurxornnnns.
At the melting of the Ways and Means
Committee, Mr. Phelps,‘ of Connecticut, re-
ported favorably on the House bill to amend
section 3,387, of the Revised Statutes, rela-
tive to the bonds to be given by cigar manu-
facturers, and was instructed to recommend
the bill to the House. The bill provides
that every manufacturer shall give bonds to
the collector of internal revenue in the penal
sum of not less than $500‘at the time of
commencing the manufacture ,of cigars, with
an additional $100 for each person proposed
to be employed by him in making cigars,
provided that the amount of bond shall not
exceed $20,000. It also provides that the
manufacturer shall not employ any person
who has not been duly registered as a cigar
maker, and defines , cigarettes and cherots to
be cigars. ,
_ _ xnw Loxnox.
Mr. Wait, of Connecticut, presented yes-
terday the joint resolutions of the Legislature .
of that State protesting against the removal
of the ‘Naval training-school from New
~London Navy Yard. Mr. Bowles, the im—
memorial navy yard agent of that ancient
whaling city is also here working the plans
of the hobLnobbing'naval officers who want
to spend their summers, at Newport instead
of New London. -
PREVENT soon ADULTERATION.
In pursuance of action of the National
Board of Trade, taken at its last two annual
sessions, a bill has been submitted to Con-
gress for passage to prevent the adulteration
of food and drugs. It prohibits the trans—
. portation, knowingly, by any person or cor-
poration of adultcratell food or drugs, or the
offer for sale or purchase or llultcl' in any-
adulternted articles; also authoriues the
National Board or Health to make or have
made examinations of specimens of food and
drugs collected .‘from different parts .of the
country; make it the duty of district attor—
neys to prosecute violators of the law, and
fixes heavy penalties for such violation. The
adulterations of sugar with glucose and flour
with white clays, the use of poisonous alum
in bread-raising preparations are claimed to
be enormous in extent.
THE noon IRON DUTY.
In the House yesterday, Mr. McLinley
reported a substitute for the bill in relation
to hoop iron, etc, reading as follows: “That
in no case shall the duty on manufactured
article be less than the duty on the material
of chief value from which it is manufactur-
ed.” The report states that “in many cases
un‘der the ruling of the ‘Secretary of the
Treasury, the manufactured articles pays a
less duty than the material from which it is
made, notably in the case of hoop-iron, scroll
' and galvanized iron. In many cases the
addition of a dollars worth of labor put upon
a ton of such iron changes it from its special
designation to the general class of manufac-
tured iro'n. It is unjust, unfair and against
the spirit of our tariff legislation.” The
report abounds in illustrations of the points
advanced. This it carried, Wilfleo relieve
the Norwalk Straw Hat manu actory, as
straw braids by the present tariff pay more
duty than when made up into hats on the
other side.
SUGAR.
The sugar men have renewed their contest
with the Treasury rulings on the tariff upon
imported sugars. J. E. Scarles, J r., of New
Haven, 'has made a strong argument before
the Ways and Means committee to the effect
that the law is now right but the Treasury
rulings wrong, and that the law must be
changed so as that the tariff officials cannot
misinterpret it as now, to the great damage
_of their trade.
. THE Al‘l'I‘JJI’IllA'I‘LON Bll.LS.
The following is the present condition of
the appropriation bills: The only bill which
has become a law is the Military Academy.
The fortification bill has been pending before
the Senate committee on appropriations for a
long while. The consular and diplomatic and
the naval bills have been in conference for
some time. The Indian bill has also been in
conference, and the disputed points between
the two houses have been reconciled with
the exception of the Senate amendment ap—
propriating $10,000 for the expenses of peace
commission. The pensions and the ' post
office bills are. before the House with the
Senate amendments. The army bill is still
in conference. - The river and harbor bill is
in readiness for consideration in the Senate.

DEATH 01‘ .1111. wooo.
The news of the death of lien. Fernando
Wood was startling in its snddenucss. The
House and Senate committkc met the remains
at Pittsburg and returned to his late resi—
dence here where his funeral was largely at-
. tended. A committee of the New York
Board of Aldermen were present and will
accompany the family with the remains to
New York this evening.
A sonar or HISTORY.
Fernando Wood was a member of the
Congress which appropriated $30,000 in aid
of Professor Morse ’s experimental telegraph
line between Washington and Baltimore.
Mr. Wood voted for the appropriation, and
was in consequence defeated in his next race
for Congress by the intelligent voters of his
district, who couldn’t tolerate a representa-
tive who would waste public money on such
a chimerical project as that of transmitting
intelligence upon wires strung upon poles.
Your correspondent well remembers a motion
made in the Senate to amend the bill by
appropriating $25,000 more so as to extend
the telegraph line to the moon, whereupon
those grave and reverend seniors were
thrown into most undignified laughter.
SENATOR .loxns.
Some of the GAZETTE readers will remem-
ber that among the delegation of senators
who visited Norwnlk to attend the funeral of
Senator Ferry, was. Senator Jones of Florida.
A few months since be buried his wife, and
now he is again overwhelmed by nflllction in
the sudden loss of a son, who died here this
week,,of pneumonia. Hcpvas a most prom-
ising youth, just approaching his majority.
upon whom the hopes of the already bereav-
ed father all too fondly rested. He took a
sudden cold, and having no mother’s care it
was ngglectcd, and before he was supposed
to be in danger death had sealed him for his
own. The Senator left with the remains of
his dead boy for Florida, yesterday, bearing
with him the heartfelt sympathies of all who
knew him.
Tun COLLAMER STATUE.
cob Collamcr, of Vermont, was called up in
the House, Tuesday morning, and after
speeches by Mr. Tyler, of Vermont, Mr. Lor-
Georgia, the resolution was adopted. The
speech of Mr. Stephens was particularly .in—
teresting. He and Mr. Collamer entered
Congress together in 1842, and they immedi—
ately became intimate friends. Of all the
Members of the House at that time only three
besides himself were now in public life-
Thesc were George P. Marsh, Minister to It—
aly, ex-Vice President Hamlin and Secretary
of War Ramsey. The statue is one of the
finest in the Hall.
PESONALS, ETC.
Senat )r Blaine is still confined to his house
with rheumatism. He is mending slowly but
surely. According to report he is arranging
to leave the Senate, and may not care to again
take his seat with .lhat body, inasmuch as he
intends to leave it anyway before the 4th of
March. According to his present intention,
he will resign next week. This will give the
Maine legislature the required ten days’ no—
tice of an existing vacancy, and will afford
the opportunity to elect his successor—Mr.
Frye—in time 'to enable him to take his seat
very soon after March 4th next. .
Hon. Stanley Matthews left for home his
evening. He is fully impressed that it is the
intention of the Senate committee to defeat
his nomination by not reporting it.
Mr. Townsend, of Illinois, has introduced
a bill in the House to change the time of the
assembling of Congress from the first Monday
in December to the first Monday in Novem
her in each year. ’
Elliott F. Shepard, who was nominated
yesterday as United States District Attorney
for the Southern District of New York, is
distinguished as the son-in-law of William H.
Vanderbilt.
Senator Mnhone has secured a seat on the
Republican side, it being the end seat on the
third row, at the left of the Vice-President’s
desk. Gen. Miller, the new Senator from
California, will sit at his left, and next to him
Senator Hale, of Maine.
Mahonc will sit Gen. Harrison, of Indiana,
and at his left is Gen. Burnside‘s seat. He is
certainly in very good company.
The inundation of Pa. Avenue revives the
fact that Boss Shepherd made a desperate but
unsuccessful effort to elevate that great pa—
tional thoroughfare seven feet. Many amus-
ing scenes occurred as well as much property
injured. It is claimed that over 1000 rats,
by count, were drowned in the Market Home.
Boats were required to take guests to and
from the National, St. James and Continen—
tal hote‘s. The weather is once-more mild
and pleasant and the whole city agog with
preparations for the Inauguration and its at -
leddant crowd and ceremonies.
Gov. Bigclow and staff will come to
WVashington to attend the inauguration and.
will stop at the Arlington. This includes
our Dr. Gregory, of course. »
As Ever, B.
Relicp 0f the Past;
At the auction sale on Saturday of the
effects of the late Mrs. Abby Starr, many
novelties of past generations were brought to
light. A set of very old china with unique
mugs, plates, jugs and dishes were sold. A
clock used during the life-timepf Mrs. Starr’s
‘father, a watch used by.Mr. Starr while a
teacher in Philadelphia, nearly three quar-
ters of a century ago, a “grandmother's
spinning wheel,” and many ancient and kin-
dred household traps were brought to light
and sold. Auctioneer Mitchell, as is his
wont, made the occasion very entertaining,
as well as profitable to the estate, by his
witty running comments, as he cried “his
first and last call” on those curious “relics of
the past.”
Excursion rates to Washington.
There will be ewurrjonr tickets sold from
‘the foot of Liberty street, New York, over
the Bound Brook to Washington, from Sat-
urday the 26th inst, good till 101k of March,
for $10, and good on all trains. Trains
leave as' above 'at 9 a. m. and 7:30, and
11:30 p. m., the last two trains with sleepers.
For clubs going en masse an 5,558 round trip

Fire Alarm.
The Fire Department was called out last
Saturday night,between 11 and and 12o'clock.
The fire was found toibe in the office of the
stables of‘the Gregory Brothens, on Knight,
street, an(l..was caused by the breaking or
explosion of a kerosene lamp. The fire was
put out before ’the' firemen arrived, and the
damage was slight. ‘
Battalion Drill.
Companies D and F, of Norwnlk, are or—
dered to attend a Battalion drill at Stamford,
next Friday evening. The Stamford compa.
ny will take part.

The resolution accepting the statue of J a~
ing, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Stephens, of .
In front of Gen."
Fairfield County” that they should revenge
themselves uponllim by such an abominable
caricature in the way of a likeness, staggers
all our powers of conjecture. If the pro—
prietors of that unique work had alvvays
reached the South Norwalk Depot on belated
trains and according to custom, broken their
shins against baggage trucks, express pack—
ages and urchins in the mad rush to catch
the more rapidly retreating horse car, and
then broken the third command—
ment worse than anything else, as the car
disappeared behind the Mahuckemo—cven
that exasperating experience could not justi-
fy such an outrage. Why, even a Hotlentot
jury would return a verdict for libel with
exemplary damages. Amid all the political
“meanderings” of our good Mayor, we have
ever had the one sluc fact to console us, that
he was at least good looking. To have this
bed—rock of our fondcst hopes thus wantonly
knocked away is, indeed, most cruel. Among
all the portraits of the grout number, either
born great or having had greatness thrust
upon them, and whose amiable Weakness to
have their likenesses handed down to sue-
ceeding generations, for the low price of one
hundred dollars-41:3 been taken advantage
of by these thrifty historians, the outrage
upon our really handsome Mayor is tllc most
abominable. Loyal t.) our Borough and its
chief ruler, wc resent the insult with all the
spirit of which we are capable! The War:
deu’s neatly turned autograph, also, beneath
the portrait,only makes one‘s confusion more
bewildering. Artemus Ward was able to
elucidate his Daniel in the Lion’s Den Pan—
orama by the one lucid observation that
“Daniel could be distinguished from the lions
by the green umbrella under his arm,” but in
this case the signature makes the picture all
the more horribly misleading. We shall not
be surprised to learn that this is the same
coarse wood-cut that has done duty in divers
sensational pictorials as'thc “Boy Pirate,”
which by design or accident got into the
form just above neighbor Hyatt’s name. We
greatly fear, however, that the thing has been
most vilely and maliciously done, for, if the
truth must be plainly spoken, have not these
same publishers made the pictures of our late
honored and distinguished J udgc of Probate
cityagrcat deal better looking than they
really are? The depressing and dispiriting
effect a sight of Mayor Hyatt’s picture,will
have upon his heirs in succeeding genera-
films as they contemplate the appearance of
their ancestor as here illustrated, fills us
withidismay too overwhelming for further
contemplation.

Mrs. S. M. Hoyt, mother of Mrs. James H.
Knapp, city, died this Monday morning at
10:45. 'The instances are few where the
death of an elderly person,—Mrs. H. was
73,—causes so great a vacancy in a home.
Retaining the activity and youthful feelings
of far yohuger women, Mrs. Hoyt marked
her presence in the circle of her friends,
and especially in her home, by such constant
and loving service as endeared her to all.
She was endowed with a mind of great
brightness, and with a ready wit, but the
depth of her nature, her thoughtfulness, her
keen perceptions, were fully known only by
those who were conversant with her very
mature spiritual life. She was adevoted and
faithful christian, :1 member of the Baptist
Ichurch. Mrs. Hoyt Was sister to State
Treasurer Nichols.‘ Three daughters survive
her, Mrs. Knapp, Mrs. Adams of Cleveland,
and Mrs. Se nrs of Ottawa, Kansas.
There will be short funeral exercises at
Mr. Knapps’s residence on Wednesday
morning at quarter of nine. The remains
will then be taken to Danbury, where regu-
lar services will be held at the,church.

Mr. Arthur H. Elwell,son of H. H. El-
well, Esq., died at South Norwalk,’ on Friday
last. When he recently returned from the
West, he was thought to be improving in
health. Probably his mother's sad death
made him despondent, and hastened the pro-
gress of disease. He was a-graduatc of
Williston Seminary, and a young man of
unusually fine promise. The stricken wife,
and therathel',—who now mourns the loss of
wife and only son,—wlll find sympathy on
every hand.
m
A very pleasant gathering was that at the
residence of Mr. George W. Jennings on
Merwin street Wednesday evening last, to
witness the marriage of his daughter Han-
nah, to Mr. Nathaniel H. Clark, of Boston.
Promptly at 6 o’clock the bride and groom
appeared and were joined in wedlock by the
Rev. Mr.‘Selleck, assisted by the Rev. Mr.
Hoyt, after which they and their guests
adjourned to the dining room where Mr.
Fred Mead had arranged a well ladcned
table, to which they did ample justice. The
bride wasdressed in stone colored satin de
Lyon and brocade with court train, with
orange blossoms in her hair, the groom in
black. She received a goodly number of
useful and ornamental presents. Mr. Max-
well of'Ncw York, and Miss J. K. Nash of
Norwalk. assisted in entertaining the com-
pany with vocal and instrumental music. '
We suppose all our readers are expecting
to help along the Temperance Reform Asso-

understand they propose to recognize the fact
that this is the anniversary of Washington’s

the public will encourage them in it, and that
they will realize a sufficient sum to carry:

Mr. John Honnccker, had a very narrow
escape from instant death last Tuesday.
While crossing the Danbury track on Water
street in his bakery wagon. he collided with
a Danbury train. Fortunately no bones
were broken, and the damage to the wagon
was not great. ' . . j

Miss Frances E. Willard, President of the
Commission to secure a Temperance Testi-
menial to Mrs. President Hayes, is now in
Washington, and has ascertained beyond a
doubt and on the highest authority that no
“rum punch,” either “frozen” or liquid, is
ever dispensed at the White House, nor
does the President take- wine at home or
abroad. -

church, last Thursday evening, was the re-
markably large and fine audience. All de-
nominations were represented, and a cordial
and fraternal spirit was manifested which was
very pleasing. Early suppers were served to'
many, and precisely on time the Rev. Mr.
,Jont appeared on the stage in the role of
concert manager. The singing by the Boy
Choir was excellent, and reflected great
credit upon the instructors. The instrumen-
tal pieces, by Messrs. Gibson and Searing and
Miss Nash, were well received, and the solos
by Misses Bassett and Nash, Rev. Mr.
Hoyt and Master Louis Phillipson, were
greeted with well-deserved applause. Rev.
Mr. Hoyt enjoys a fine reputation as asinger,
and Master Phillipson’s pure, sweet voice was
a surprise and delight. Mr. Canticld and Miss
Nash rendered a pleasing ductt. After the con-
ceit the ladies again assumed command and
. everything salable must have been disposed
of. The only thing to mar the pleasure
of the occasion was the charging
of an extra price to the balcony which
act was generally pronounced illadvis-
ed, as no notice had been given. Altogether
the entertainment was a grand success, and
all will be glad to know that the ladies will
clear at least $175, the gross receipts having
been $225. ‘

The Town Meetinv.
At the special Town Meeting held last
Saturday afternoon, the Selectmen were ap-
pointed a committee to ascertain the cost of
erecting new bridges in place of those swept
away by the recent freshet. Prices are to be
obtained for constructing the same in stone,
iron and wood, the committee to report at an
adjourned meeting to be held one week from
to-morrow. It seems to be the prevailing
opinion that the New Canaan bridge, at least,
will be built of either stone or iron.
‘ m
PERSONAL.
Mrs. D. E. Culver was in town over Sun-
day.
Clark Bissell returned home from'Atlantic
City, last week. , .
Wm. R. Beers, Esq, left on his annual
trip to Florida, Saturday.
Miss Lottie T. Craufurd has returned
home from her visit to friends in New York
City.
The Rev. H. M. Ladd left New York,
for Africa, by the way of England. last Sat:
urday.
Edward C. Belts and wife, who have been
visiting Mrs. Betts’ parents in Texas, have
returned to their home in Colorado.
The many frIends of Miss Fannie E. Mal-
lory will regret to learn of her departure for
her home in Texas, on Saturday last.
We hear that Gen. W. R. Smith and son
were recently at Palatka, Florida, where Dr.'
'1‘. E. Swift and family are located. Mr.
Wm. R. Lockwood seems to have been visit-
ing many of the leading towns in “the land
of flowers.”
M
The Steamboat;
It is now expected that steamboat commu-
nication with New York will be resumed
about the last of next month, or as soon as
the season will permit. The favorite steamer
Americas, which has been fitted with new
boilers, will probably be ‘the first boat, and
remain on until the Rockaway season opens.
It is not decided what boat will then take
her place. The report that .Com. White was
building an iron steamer for this route was
premature. The iron boats are deemed too
much of an experiment yet, and-he prefers
waiting to see how they work before building.
Those new building by the company of
which he is a director, are to run to Coney
Island next season if completed in time.
m
The Connecticut Mutual Life.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company’s thirty-fifth annual statement is
published in full elsewhere. Its not surplus
is $3,251,155.45 by the clpse figuring of
Connecticut requirements, and $3,500,000 by
the more liberal New York law. There are
64,313 people insured in this company. If,
as is calculated, each on the average repre-
sents a family of five, then there are-over
320,000 people dependent on the company,
which is equal to more than half the entire
population of Connecticut.
Two especial points are entitled to
notice in the statement. The first is
that under the. able management the ra-
tio of expense to receipts has been, as
heretofore, kept down to a very low figure,
much lower than the average ratio among
insurance companies. This tells the story of
economy in full. The other point is con-
cerning the company's real estate taken un—
der foreclosure. , Under profits and loss for
the year is the itam of $64,644. This repre
sents the net profit on sales of the company’s
real estate during the period covered by the
report, and it only marks the beginning of
that record. Transactions. made within the
year but not closed until after the date of the
report, include further sales of real estate for
over $600,000, which would add considera-
bly to the profit. Practically none of the com-
pany’s real estate has been sold below cost.
Much of it goes at a profit, and no effort has
been made to push the sale at all.
m
The New York Sunday papers had quite
sensational articles in their last issue about a
Dr. Lounsbury running away from Mt. Kis-
co, N. Y., with the wife of a saddler of that
place, a Mr. Wickson, and various other
charges, making the Dr. out to be a very gay
and festive Lothario, with an overplus of
wives. &c. The Dr., who is a dentist by
profession, engaged rooms here in the Bor—
ough last week and proposed opening an of-
fice here. We understand that on the arrival
of the papers here Sunday be pronounced the
statement a vile lie, and immediatly procured
a team from Dann’s and started off for Mount
Kisco to have matters there rectified and
straightened, and also declared that the Sun,
the principal offender, would be obliged to
take back its story. He is expected back to-
day. _
' Messrs. Seofield 6) Hoyt, Maiii street, have
a fresh announcement to the public in this
issue. Among other things they have made
very large additions to their carpet depart—
ment,vembracing a large number of new de—
signs. They intend maxing a specialty of
this department, and to keep such a stock on
hand that customers will have no excuse for
going out. of town for carpets, They also
have in stock a full line'of dry goods, fancy
goods, etc., and invite the people to call and
examine the goods and, compare prices. They
feel sure they can please all classes.

Mr. Stanley expects to receive the new.
seats for the balcony at the Opera House this
week. The work of taking out the old seats
will commence as soon as the Temperance
Supper is over, and it is expected that the
new seats will be put in ready for occupancy
by Saturday night.

Mr. W. A. Falwell has suddenly been
called to mourn the less of his son Charles
who died yesterday morning. He was taken
sick on Saturday morning last, the disease
going to his brain, resulting in a fit from
which he failed to rally, although he had the
best of medical attendance and the fondest
care of devoted parents.

Washington will be brilliantly illuminated
by electric lights on the night of the fourth of
March. Three 25,0000and epowei lights will’

The amount of money received and paid
out by the treasurer of Fitch’s Home for
soldiers and their orphan children, from April
1865 to April 1880, was over eighty thousand
dollars, as appears from a detailed report
of the treasurer J. B.Hoyt,Esq.,recently sent
tothe Legislature. The Home is at present
indebt' to rattle tregsurer $0,786,—Adwraw.
authorities having in charge the rebuilding
of the bridges across the Norwalk river,
which were carried away by the recent
freshct, have no intention of providing any
means of communication at the upper part of
the town until Spring is well advanced.
It is a matter of serious inconvenience to
residents living in the northeast section to‘
be obliged to travel the River Road, so
called,whcn coming to Norwalk and espec-
ially so when there is no semblance of reason
for the inconvenience to which they are
subjected. A strong sentiment of disappro-
bation regarding the dilatory action of the
town for not providing suitable convenience
for foot travel, at least, is prevalent.
If iron or stone bridges are to be erected
much time will necessarily be consumed and
it certainly is not the thing for the town to
cut off all means of travel until permanent
structures can be built.
The old limbcrs‘tllat have been saved from
the various wrecks could be easily and
cheaply utilized in a. temporary structure at
the New Canaan crossing, which is one of the
principal thoroughfares of the town. Such a
bridge would'furnish ample communication
and convenience to all parties living in the
section referred to.
That it is no more than reasonable, the
town should be willing to expend a few
dollars in order to accommodate many tax
payers, is apparent at once, and it is hoped
the authorities may so consider the matter.

Cllmxsn IMMIGRATION.—BY HON. Gso. Fl
Snwaun. Scribner-'9 Sons, New York.
A. Selleclc, Nomadic—This is a work
which is best portrayed by the author himself
with the following preface :—
“The following pages exhibit to the reader
the results of a careful study of the . social
and economical aspects of the questions in-
volved in Chinese immigration.
I approached the examination of these
questions with a strong feeling that the
United States ought not to interfere unneces-
sarlly with immigration, because in doing
so we would depart from principles well es—
tablished in our national life, and because
arbitrary interferences with national processes
prove. as a. rule, unavailing and injurious.
As I proceeded I became satisfied that no
nccessuy exists for such action. I found, in
brief, that the Chinese have been of great
servxce to the people of the Pacific coast ;
that they are still needed there, but in a less
important measure ; that the objections which
have been advanced against them are in the
main unwarranted ; and that the minor evils
ineldent to their presence may be readily
abated under existing treaties and'within the
lines of ordinary legislation.
1 found, also, that the fears of a large im«
migration which have been cntcrtainEd, are
unnecessary and groundless; .
The facts and considerations upon which I
have based these conclusions are stated with
reasonable fullness, and, as the subject is im-
portant, _I may hope that my treatment of it
w1llrece1ve the candid examination of my
countrymen.
_ To the recommendation made by me, show-
Ing in what way existing abuses may be
abated, while leaving untouched the broad
principle of the right of man to change his
{Tome and allegiance, I invite special atten—
1011.
_I have made no attempt to deal herein
will any other than the social and econom-
Ical aspects of Chinese immigration. I have
supposed that the action of tllc country will
be determined in view of these, but certainly
the political and commercial issues involved
are not devoid of interest.
If the course of events shall appear to
make it desirable, I shall offer to the public
hereafter a statement regarding this part of
the case."

A CARD.
_ At a meeting of the Norwalk Medical
Association held at the office of Dr. J. G.
Gregpry, Drs. J. C. Kendal and W. A.
Lockwood ~were appointed as committee to
draft resolutions relating to the death of Dr.
John Hill late of South Norwalk.
The Committee report the following:
“Dr. John Hill was aman of strict in-
tegrity and blameless life. He was honorable
In his professional relations, and conscien-
tious in the discharge of his various duties.
He was ever Interested and always reliable
in his relations with this Association, and
was one of its oldest members.
His professional assbciatcs therefore feel a
deep sense of bereavement at his sudden
death, and desire to convey to his afflicted
family their sincere condolence and sympa-
t y.” .
The above being approved by the Associa-
tion was adopted and ordered published in
the papers of Norwalk and South Norwalk,
and engrossed in the minutes of the Secre-
tary’s book.. A copy was also transmitted to
the family of the deceased.
Attest, W. C. BURKE JR. M. D., ’
