:1 G01) Reruns AND THE Govaumxr AT
Wasnmeros STrLr. LIVEs.”-——[James A.
W
The President.
All the indications up to date give promise
of the President’s sure rccoverY- He has
not Only "made substantial gains the past
week, but has passed all the really critical
periods usual to such a gun shot wound.
' His magnificent physical constitution, never
impaired by any excess or bad habit; his
cheerful, hopeful, Christian,’ spirit, which
has given him such a perfectly healthy brain
in a perfectly healthy body, clearly proved
in his case superior to a most deadly wound.
And who shall dare deride or lightly estimate
.the power of the universal,-fervent prayers
of God’s people for his safe deliverance. The
expressions of hope, faith and tenderest
sympathy from men, women and little chil-
dren all over this broad land, have been Of
the most sublime and touching character.
From the South most especially, these senti-
ments have been earnestly and affection-
ately and generally expressed, and the terri-
ble crime which has so shadowed the land
has bound the people of this Grand Republic
in a closer bond of love and union than any-
thing that has occurred in our history since
the Rebellion. Let God be reverently and
devoutly praised and thanked forHis - good-
ness to the nation and His loving kindness
to the children of men.
The gun shot wound of_Mr. Wm. K.
Lewis, recalled by us last week, has awakeni-
ed wide interest from its almost exact coun-
terpart to that of the President’s. All of
Mr. Lewis' earlier symptoms after receiving
the ball into his body, were more severe and
clawing than those reported from the suf-
fcrer at the White House, and yet Mr. Lewis
'assures us he was able to ride out in less than
three weeks after his injury. His rapid re-
covery wag a matter of the profoundest as-
tonishment to his physicians because they
felt absolutely certain' the ball had penetra-
ted the liver and so seriously lacerated the
peritoneum as to cause an almost conviction
that the wound must prove fatal. The pro-
bing of the wound so far into‘ abdominal
cavity also confirmed these impressions, but
when the bullet presented itself at the sur—
face and was extracted in,front, Drs. McLean
and Bissell saw clearly that they had mista-
ken its direction, and that the injury to the
' liver was the result of concussion when the
ball struck the ribs, and the fever was the
result of the abrasion of the peritoneum as
the bullet sped between the ribs and follow-
.ed their curviture on the inner side around
to the front of the abdomen, where it
dropped harmlessly downward to the point
of exit,four inches below the line of entrance
in the back. That the ball passed between
and inside the ribs was unmistakbly demon?
strated by the orifice of the wound, and the
rapid recovery, non-injury to the intestines
and subsequent appearance 6f the bullet in
front, as ‘clearly proved its course to have
been as stated above and as finally agreed by
the physicians. All the details which have
reached the public, convince Dr. McLean at
least, that the assassin’s bullet has traversed
the same course in the body of the President
and that we may certainly hope for his
speedy recovery. May the good Lord grant
the verification of our venerable Doctor's
confident predictions.

Methodist Pic Nlc.
Our friends the Methodists, announce
their combined“ annual Pic Nic for Wednes-
day, July 26. It is to be held at Brookside
Park, On the D.'.& N. R. R. There is not a
better managed, or usually more successful
picnic then these gotten up by the Methodist
Churches of this place; they always have a
good time and pleasant weather in which to
enjoy it. .Go with them if you wish for a rare
day’s recreation and rest.

The annual reunion of the Veteran Odd
Fellows at Roton Point, on Tuesday last‘
was fairly attended, quite a large number
coming from the east. They were met at
South Norwalk by a delegation from Our
Brothers and Old Well Lodges and escorted
to steamboat wharf, where they went on
board of the Mabel L. Stevens and had a
pleasant sail to the Point. «Dinner was served
at 1:30. about sixty sitting down to 'it. A
dozen new members were enrolled. At 3:30
they re—embsrked on ths Stevens, and after
saluting started for home. . We regret to hear,
that there was dissatisfaction expressed over
the quality and quantity of dinner furnished ,
but as usua‘, there seems to be two sides to
the stories told.
m
The Neptuncs have nearly finished their
preparations for their annual cruise and are
in great glee, thinking that this will be the
most successful one yet made by them
They have engaged the schooner David
Carr, a vessel built on the same model as
. their favorite,-.—the Barnes, but somewhat
larger, with 8 foot depth of hold. Bailey, he'
of St. Louis, is to head a delegation of ten
or twelve from that far away point, who are
coming on here to get a sniff of salt air, a
taste of clams, etc.—they will be well cared
for. Owing to this vessel being larger than
expected, four or fivezmore good fellows can
be accommodated on the trip, it application
is made soon. >

Accident. _
Miss Peaslee had tire ‘hiisfortune, Of losing
one of her fancy matched pail-Of carriage
horses on Friday-last. Being hurried'with
haying the carriage team ‘was hitched'to the
farm wagon and driven to the field and load-
ed, when on' starting for home, the bolt
holding the whiflletrees to the pole broke and »
the horses clearing themselves and drawing
the reins from the driver upon the load, ran
terrified across the field with the crosstrees
striking their heels. After running a short
distance both horses fell in a heap, and upon
securing and raisinglthem. thelhiack hOrse. a
fine and valuable animal, was found to have
broken its leg in two places.' There was no
other alternative than ' to have ' the horse
killed, which was especially distressing, as
it was a favorite pet with its owner.

Worthy of Aid.
Many will pleasantly remember “poor
Duffy,” his witty repurtees,. his industry,
his sobriety and general worth, but above all
those who knew him best will recall the
knightly affection and chivalric care and de-
votion he always bestowed upon his equally
deserving “ould 'Ooman,” as he was fond of
calling her. Well, “poor Duffy” has been
gathered to his fathers, but his aged spouse
survives, and pld age and poverty, that ill-
matched pair, is her only legacy. She is
aged and destitute, yet spiritedly declines to
enter our aims house. A few friends know
her worth and assist her as they can. She is
in present, pressing need, and will not some
of our kind hearted citizens leave a trifle
with Postmaster Oimstead or at this office to
aid poor old Mrs. Duffy ? We know they will.

The season of song and music preparing
by the Georgetown Congregational Church,
cannot but be most enjoyable with such
pleasant surroundings as will be found at
Brookside Park. The occasion will probably
attractthither all lovers of music for miles

Rev. J. G. Davenport.
At the special meeting of the Fairfield
East Consociation in the Park Street Church
in Bridgeport,last Tuesday, the Cousociation,
by a vote of eleven to five, gave advice to the
church and pastor,that Mr. Davenport should
be dismissed. There was a long and careful
attention given to the statements of the pee-
tor, a delegation from Waterbury, the con—
soelation of the church and society, and
others who desired to be heard. The mem~
bers of the consoelation felt perplexed over
the case but reached the conclusion indicated
above. A minute, expressive of the greatest
confidence in Mr. Davenport and of the
deepest sympathy with the church in their
trial, was passed. It seemed a matter of
great gratitude that during the thirteen years
of Mr. D’s pastorate, there had existed such
harmony between the pastor and his people,
and that they had been favored with such
large prosperity and success in their work.
The people seemed to feel that they could
not bear the parting with their long-loved
and trusted pastor.

The Borough “organ" seems to pipe some
very harmonious tunes for the democratic
happy family. Of course, every borough tax
payer knows the only way the burgesses can
save themselves from becoming ridiculous,
is to go and re-appoint the old, experienced
and efficient republican borough clerk. Now
the borough board really don't know'
whether they are a foot or horseback, and
its no wonder the poor, inexperienced clerk,
is lost in a maze of confusion and fog, and
his “minutes" are all mixed up or altogether
missing. . .

The Veteran Odd Fellows had a delightful
.re-union and fraternity good fellowship
prevailed till the brot ers reached Roton
Point and attempted to tackle the fluid
named in the Menu as “Clam Soup”. 2 From
the conflicting stories it is apparent to our
minds, that some one of Caterer Ackert's
cooks, on mischief bent, slyly caught the
old, superauuated Goal of Our Brothers
Longe, now about the oldest in the Slate,
and had him secretly slaughtered and served
for the supposed clam soup. This is the
only intelligent way of accounting for the
ancient and goaty flavor all agree in ascrib-
ing to the soup. Then too, the antics cut
by some of the most sedate of the brethren,
and the way others, butted into the whole bill
of fare, lends probability to our aurmisee,
independent. of the fact that the brothers old
“billy goat," which had been turned loose
for his summer vacation, is also missing?
Of the rest of the entertainment, the broth-
ers Of the mystic tie appear to be satisfied.
They had a splendid sea-shore day and their
re-union seems to have been a most happy
one.

The Shell Fish Commissioners visited Mil-

pose of establishing the Northern boundary
line of State property in ‘oyster fists. The
line as decided .upon is from Merwin’s Point
to follow the shore to Pond Point, and
thence a straight line to Welch’s Point.
From Welch’s Point the line is straight to
the south side of Charles Island, and thence
to Stratford Point Light. The line then
follows the shore to Point No Point; and
thence in a direction of a point in Seaside
Park, Bridgeport which brings it in range Of

About dark Sunday evening, Elliot, aged
seven years, son of S. ERichmond, boss
pattern maker at Olmstcad's Foundry, who
lad to show him to some‘locallty west of the
highway. The boy innocently accompanied
the rufilan to cross thc_.first lot to where it
intersects SummitgAvenue, where as the boy
states the villian turned upon him, struck
him in the face with his fist, knocking him ‘
down, then picked him up, tore his clothes
from the child, and beat and bruised threw
him to the ground and jumped upon him,
and to stop the boy’s terrified screams took
out a razor told him he would cut his throat
just as he would a dog’s, if .he 'did not keep
quiet. The child, more dead than alive:
reached home with face and person sobloody
as to be scarcely recognizable, when the fath-
er, armed with a club, made dilligent but
unavailing search for the murderous wretch.
This Monday morning ofilcer DeForest ar-
rested John Gaffney, and the lad fully identi-
fied him as his assailant. Gaifney was tried
before Justice Andrew Selleck who bound
him over in $500 bonds, but he will doubt—
lessly be unable to obtain bail, and be sent
to Bridgeport jail, and from thence the state
prison will be his. His purpose was a name-
less crime of beeetiality, and the person of
the child, is shockingly torn and lacerated.
[It is a thousand pities that we could not pun
ish the wretch under Delaware law by first
tying him to a poet and publicly flogging him
upon , the here back.

On Thursday last, as "A Looker on in
Venice,” we had the pleasure of participating
in a Reunion of much interest. It was a
High School celebration, not the ordinary
annual affair, but the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the establishment of a School which has
been conducted from the start by one Prin-
cipal! One-quarter of a century as Princi-
pal of a Public High School 1 How few teach-
ers can boast of such a record! The School
is not in this vicinity, but is located in the
breezy town of Templeton, Mass, under
the shadow of the New Hampshire state
line, and the teacher is Mr. H. F. Lane.
To maintain such a position so many years
the teacher must necessarily constantly in-
crease in the esteem of pupils and patrons,
and at this Reunion—one of the most remark-
able and delightful that We ever attended,—
the beloved teacher was honored as few in.
structors are ever honored, and the affair cul-
minated with the presentation to him of a
purse containing five hundred dollars in gold
as a “ slight testimonial" from former and
present pupils. There were many other in-
cidents of great interést to the participants,
and the entire day was given up to social
greetings and more formal but not less pleas-
ing éxercises. Among the speakers were
many old graduates, including Dr. Fairbanks
Of Williston Seminary, formerly of Norwalk,
who is also a relative of the Principal. Over
seven hundred persons have been connected
with the school, and some five hundred were
present at the Re-union, returning home
from twenty States.

that he will recover. Surgeon General
Barnes said to a friend yesterday that while
he could not at present say the President
was out of danger 'yet he was sure that he
would recover. Everything certainly points
that way, and unless some unforscen acci-
dent sheuld occur, there is no doubt but that
in a few weeks he. will have recovered. . As
each day passes and the bulletins continue to
show that encouraging report “steadilyim-
proving," the hearts of the people beat
loud with joy and hope, and few there be
who have any fears of an unfavorable ‘re-
suit. The bulletins are issued three times-a
day, and by means of the hectograph' han-
dreds of copies are prepared and distributed
throughout the'city. Merchants have them
hung up in their show windows, some are
even pasted on lamp posts, while at all the
hotels and departments they are given a
conspicuous position. One cannot enter a
store to make a purchase but he has to stand
and chat with the clerk, the conversation
being prefaced with the question—“How is
the President to-day ?" Difierences in politics
and nationality is forgotten and all such en'—
mities are swallowed up in the common
anxiety. Should the President continue to
improve during the coming as he has during
the past week I will probably have the great
pleasure of announcing to you in my next
letter that he has passed the Rubicon and is
out of danger. Such seems to be the opinion
of the attending physicians, and God grant
their hopes may be fulfilled.

Still remains in the jail and is being kept in
the utmost seclusion. He is not allowed to
converse with the other prisoners and sees
no one but the attendants at the jail and the
District Attorney. As the days pass and the
prospect of the President's recovery grows
more and more probable, Guiteau is corre-
spondinglv depressed,for as he sees that he is
not to be the hero be imagined he would be-
come. his true nature shows itself and trans-
forms the former bravado into a weak and
cringing coward.
The District Attorney's mail daily brings
him a mass of letters about the prisoner.
Some are reasonable, while others throw out
the queerest suggestions and emanate princi-
pally from “cranky" brains. A card was re-
ceived yesterday, in an envelope postmarked
Fairfield, Conn, which shows that you have
at least one “crank” in your part of the state.
enrraau’s oormrssron.
The District Attorney yesterday, gave to
the press a confession made by Guiteau from
which it appears that the dastardly deed was
fully premeditated. At four diflerent times
prior to the shooting he had made up his
mind to kill the President but some slight
obstacle ,had prevented. 0n the day that
the President took his wife to Long Branch,
Guiteau was standing in the depot with his
pistol in his pocket intending to kill him
then. The reason he gives why he did not
shoot him at that time was that Mrs. Garfield
looked so poorly that he could not startle
her so in the state of health .that she was
then in. So he passed out knowing that he
was sure of his game as the President was
to return shortly. His ponfcssion feeds
like anything but that of .a mad man and his
insanity dodge is getting well worn out.
The TRIAL
is as yet a thing of the future. Of course
nothing can be done until the President has
been prondunced out of danger. When that
happy time arrives the District Attorney will
take the case immediately before the grand
jury, an indictment well be found and the
trial commenced. Apropos, will it not be
exceeding difilcult to find “twelve good men
and true” who have not formed or expressed
an opinion'anent this matter. -

Chief Clerk Powers of the Treasury, who
was recently put in charge of the custodian’s
office, has inaugurated a new system in re-
gard to the purchase of supplies for the
Treasury Department, which will save money
to the Government and give no possible
chance for favoritism. All dealers who wish
to compete are notified by advertisement to
register their name and character of their
business in the Superintendent’s oflice, and
when any articles are required, the necessity
for which could not be anticipated in the
regular advertisement for proposals, a blank
form of bid will be sent to each merchant so
registered and dealing in the article desired,
so as to give all an opportunity to put in a'
bid. The old system was to purchase all
extra supplies from the regular contractor.
qu new bids :will be invited for all extra
supplies from time to time as they are need-
\e’d. Why cannot some of our Norwalk mer-
chants embrace the opportunity ? They stand
as good a chance as any.
A JUST nxolslou.
General Dumont, supervising inspector of
steamboats, states that .when a passenger
purchases an excursion ticket to any point
he has a perfect legal right to leave the
steamer at any intermediate point where she
happens to land. .
The above appeared in one of the lace
papers here day before yesterday and was
occasioned by the decision just rendered in
the Supreme Court of the District. The case
is that of a man who having occasion to
transact some business in one of the towu on
the river below this city, took passage on one
of the river steamboats. Finding that an
excursion to a town some miles below the
place where he wished Ito? stop, could be
bought much cheaper than one to the town
direct, he purchased an excursion ticket.
When the boat arrived at the place where he
wished to go he attempted to get off but was
prevented by the ofilcers ‘of the boat and
compelled to go some miles further down
the river to the place named on his ticket.
He returned at once to this city and insti-
tuted a suit against the Steath company.
The case has just been decided " and by the
decision he receives several thousand dollars
as damages. A few more such cases as this
will show railroads, steamboats and other
iransportation companies that the traveling
public have some rights.

OUR GREAT BOROUGH.
Emrqss or Gangs“ ‘_ r.“ ‘
You of co ,..~ '_’_ " find; 1' filling-
gle by whiclft e‘EDemOOracycai'rie' ‘tne late
Borough election. It was even broadly hint-
edghat. cpirs'tom fomentl and even sordid
money were used to elect the rcg’lar ticket.
Then followed the more duperate strain on
the consciences, good judgment and pants-
loons of the “Board" in electing a “Clark.”
By every usage of party and even common
decency,attorney Seymour should have been
given the place. He was young and active,
had been faithful and zealous in party ser-
vice, and more than all had education and
intelligence enough to do the duty without
making a laughing stock of himself and the
whole Board, which the party elected had
not. Mr. Warner had refused to march with
our Phalanx club. Had too much dignity
for that, or to do anything to elect our can-
didate for President, but he had too little
sense to keep out of an office he has proved
himself notoriously incompetent to fill, and
we’ve had to elect a Republican assistant to
help him out with his work. Now, why not
go back and elect the old Republican Clerk,
Mr. Footc. He was never accused of hog-
gling his minutes and mixing up everything
so that our official records of the meetings of
the present Board really read worse than the
Irish Borough meeting, where they voted
first to build a new jail, and second to save
money by building the new jail out of the
stones Of the old jail, and 3d that for fear the
prisoners might escape the old jail should be
left standing till the new jail was built. But
Mr. W. freely asserted his wish for the office
as a means of slaking his revenge on the
GAznT'rs. High and noble purpose, but
when his legal judgment—feeble and unriiia-
ble as it is—was desired, he replies, it is
stated, “If the Court of 'Burgesses think]
am going to give them advice without asking
and paying for it ,they will be mistaken.”
Burgess Coolidge and others twice asked the
Warden to call a special meeting,who refused
because the Clerk had not even entered the
minutes inthe record -book at the time, as
ordered. Assistant Clerk Montgomery, a
Republican, now does that work intelligently
and satisfactorily, but prior to Montgomery's
clear headed recording of our action, the
records of the present Board are in a hope-
less jumble, and what has been done or ‘un-
done “No fellow can find out." Our Clerk
threatened to resign if either the Gaznm or
Democrat got the Borough printing. As he-
came us Democrats, we made our party
paper our official organ, and why don't our
Clerk keep his word and resign and leave us
free from his embarrassing presence. He
knows he is and has been a nuisance as
Clerk, and has finally forced from us a reso.
lution Of censure. He may believe the
members of the Board checker chips which
he can slide about as he pleases—possibly
two of our, Board be may—but he has no
business to make the rest of us the subject
of public cOntempt and derision, much less
thwart and defeat the public business. He
should remember he draws his salary from
the already overburdened tan: payers of this
Borough, and if he is incompetent to fill
the place as Clerk, as he most clearly has
proved himself to be, then let him take our
hint and like a man or decent monkey “step
down and out”—of our way. DEMOCRAT.
Bad Roads.
Mussas. Entroxs :—I have been in the
habit for a number of years of cyning from
the city and passing the summer in Norwalk.
Will you tell me what pleasure one can pos-
sibly derive from driving about this rarely
beautiful section with the roads so guliied and
full of stones and so little apparent effort to
remedy the evil ? Sumter; RESIDENT.
We candidly think our Selectmen should
immediately order every highway surveyor
to go over all the roads in his district with
hoe and rake and at least clear them of the
unusual quantities Of loose stones. Our bor-
ough highways also, badly require such-
treatment, as the severe storms have left the
roadways unusually disagreeable and danger-
ous and the business prosperity of our village
.is most seriously injured by the existing bad
roads. We have no doubt that both Town
and Borough will act, but will they act in-
stantly.—[Ens. GAZETTE.
Immediate Punishment.-
The attempted assassination of President
Garfield has inexpressibly shocked the nation.
The insanity Of the would-be murderer is a
humbug, his mind was sufiiciently clear to
comprehend the deed, and therefore public
sentiment and the exigences of the justice
alike demand that he should suffer the full
penalty of his crime. A severe example in
this case would be a warning to all other dis-
appointed in Office seeking at Washington,
and would make them realize that if in some
opassionate moment they attempt the life of
him who refuses to grant a favor (or ofice),
they must surely dis. Crinimal lawyers have
remarked that every person who commits.
murder was insane at the time of its com—
mittal. Homicides would be less frequent if
murderers were dealt with summarily and
severly. The clemency, compassion and sym-
pathy which at the present day are so often
evinced for assassins is one reason for the ex-
istence of bad men. And this all tends to
subdue the resistance necessary to keep them
from working up strong passions to such a
fever of insanity that they are ready to plunge
a knife and fire a bullet into any one who has
crossed their path. The Nation demands
that Guiteau be brought immediately to trial;
and that the sentence passed upon him
be forthwith executed, then everyone in the
land will understand that there is still justice
in American law, to administer punishment
adfluate to the atrocious crime of assassina-
tion. B. J. S.

The terrible shock which the news of the
attack on the President brought to Attorney-
General MacVeagh ls graphically described.
He was at breakfast when the news was
brought to him and 'was so overcome and
horrified that he started from his chair, and
rushed, bareheaded andtaimlessly, from the
back entrance of his house. It was several
minutes before he recovered his self-control
and went back for his hat. ‘ -

Fitch’s Home for the Soldiers’s.
By the act of the Legislature of the State
the new board of trustees of this Humane
Institution could nqt take possession until
July let, this present month. At that date
the gentlemen appointed to this trust met
and permanently organized. Subsequently
upon examination and conference with Mr.
J. B. Hoyt of Stamford, the former treasurer
it was found that the endowment fund,
fourteen thousand dollars was well invested,
bnt there was a considerable floating debt
that had to be provided for, besides extensive
repairs to be made on the building an
grounds. '
The donor, Mr. Benjamin Fitch, upon
hearing of this condition of things notwith-
stnndlng his many noble gifts for the benefit
of the suflering and needy of his race, hon-
ored the day held sacred by patriots of every
land, in presenting his check on July 4th for
one thousand dollars, besides ordering fpr
the use of the institution large supplies of
provisions. '
Recent investigations in Massachusetts rc-
vealcd the disgraceful fact that one hundred
and twenty of her soldiers were in the poor
houses. Mr. Fitch desires that no such stain
shall rest on his native state, and asks the
Connecticut people to unite with him in
sustaining an asylum where the worn out
defenders of our country’s unity may find a
home.
an
' Fail-field East Association.
A special meeting of, the body was held
at East Bridgeport last Tuesday. Rev. W.
D. Morton, who was formerly a member
and was acting pastor of the church in
Huntington for about six years died the pre-
ceding Friday, aged forty-one years. His
remains were brought on to Putney, Strat-
ford, on the day of meeting, for burial. A
minute of respect to his memoryand of condo-
lence with his family [was passed. Mr.
Morton was very highly esteemed and greatly
beloved. He had been also very successful
in his work as a minister of the gospel. His
last sickness was a long and severe one. It
originated in an injury received last October
in leaping from a carriage.
' Upon the favorable report of the commit-
teelappointed at the annual meeting in May,
H. A. VanDalsem of Southport. who had
meanwhile united with the Olivet church in
Bridgeport, upon a letter from the proper
authorities in the Methodist church in Long-
ridge, was received to m‘hmbership.

An Affecting Incident.
President Garfield when shot, was on his
way to attend the Commencement at Williams
College. His absence and anxiety for him
cast a g'loom over the annual assembly of the
alumni. ' “Irenacus,” who was one of them
and who was present, in his letter to his ex-
cellent paper, the venerable but ever young
and vital New York Observer, giving a three
column account of the “memorable week”
has this touching and charitable testimonial :
PRAYING son THE PRESIDENT.
“The class of 1856, of which President
Garfield was a member, had a gathering at
this Commencement. In a meeting to ray
for the President’s recovery, one of his c ass-
mates rose and said:
Twenty-six years ago tonight, and at this
very hour, our class were on the top of
Graylock to spend the night of the Fourth
of July. As we were about to lie down to
sleep, Garfield took out his pocket Testament
and said: ‘I am in the habit of reading a
chapter eVery night at this time with my
mother. Shall I read aloud? All assented,
and when he had read he asked the oldest
member of the class to pray. And there in
the night, on the mountain top, we prayed
wifil him for whom we have now assembled
to pray.”
The incident, under the circumstances, was
very affecting.
So the President was a bible-reader and a
praying man before he was a candidate for
ofilce.
