Our Heroic President.
The confidence which even those who‘per-
503311! knew the heroic fiber of President
Garfield’s heart and brain, had been terribly
Shaken all the latter part of the past week
and the sore heart of the whole nation,
watching every pulsation and flutter of that
sublime suifercr’s ebbing life, were doomed
to deeper and almost hopeless despair by the
alarming bulletins of Saturday. Never was
uch wealth of sympathy and sorrow lavish—
ed upon any ruler before. Never were such
congregations of devout and earnest suppli-
eantsfor Almighty aid, as stood bowed in
universality of grief, in all our churches on
Sunday last. The President’s noble bearing
during his two long, weary months of pain
and agony, has awakened a sympathy and
anxiety more deep and intense than ever be-
fore surrounded the sick bed, of any human
being. The electrical wire has brought into
his suffering presence fifty millions of his
sorrowing countrymen, inspiring him with
hope and a high resolve to live, if not for his
own, for the people's sake. And he has
battled and baffled death with a fortitude the
bravest man might envy, and he has fought
for his life with ahcroism so grand as to
challenge the admiration not only of the
American people, but of the whole civilized
world. “The Nation,” he once exclaimed,
“will not let the old soldier die.” Surely it
will not, if the prayers, and tears, and love,
and reverence can save. His unmerited suf-
ferings, so meekly borne in its behalf, has
lifted the Nation up to a far higher moral
plane, and brought it to love the man, and all
who are his, with an unspeakable affection.
Amid the most depressing gloom and when
it seemed the President was sinking to rise
no more, beneath death’s dark cloud, came a
faint ray of hope that he might yet rally.
That hope grew stronger throughout the
anxious Sabbath, and Monday morning, the
brave words of his nurse, Gen. Swaim, came
like a benediction :—“I have been depending
on Gen. Garfield’s pluck now for twenty-five
years, and 1 tell you he is going to get well 1"
God mercifully grant the prayers of His
children now going out for the Nation's suf—
ferer as for a nearest friend, with a renewed
hope, and restore the stricken one and the
strikcn Nation, to health and peace.

\VASHINGTON, Aug. 20,—The following Was
neat this afternoon :
Lozoelth‘m‘stcz-Jondon: The President had
a good night, sun is having a good day. At
this hour—2 p. m.—his pulse 18 103, show-
ing a decrease from the forenoon. For
many days past the pulse has shown a de-
cided increase by this time in the afternoon.
His respiration is normal. All other symp~
toms are reported by his surgeons to be fav-
orsble.
(Signed) BLAINE, Secretary.
Prayer for President Garfield in
London.
LONDON, Aug, 29.-—A ecial service of
prayer for the recovery of resident Garfield
was held at several places of worship in Lon-
don yesterday.
Liverpool newspapers s ate that prayer
for President Garfield was almost universal
in the churches there yesterday.
A
AN AFFECTING MEETING.
'rns rnssmssr’s DAUGHTER VIsrrs HIM—-
ms son ALSO srmxs wrrn nan.
Wasnmcros, Aug. 28.~—Nono of the
President’s children had seen their father for
three weeks until this afternoon. About the
middle of the afternoon the President ex-
pressed a desire to see his daughter Mollie,
and when she entered the room and came to
'h’s bedside he took her hand and asked
about her health. She replied that she was
Well and inquired how he himself felt. He
said, “I am. better. Ask your mother if the
boys cannot come in.” She went away say-
ing she feared she should tire him. “How
absurd,” said the father; “the idea that
such a sweet child could tire anybody.”
Soon afterward James came to the bedside
and was greeted by his father affectionately.
The Presidentis pulse, however, began to
rise with the excitement and emotion of this
interview with his children, and it was
thought best not to allow Harry to see himfi
While rejoicing over the President’s im-
proved condition, we should not forget that
danger and perils are not yet over.

Our Churclts.
Rev. C. 8. Wing having returned home,
occupied his own pulpit on Sunday last.
The Rev. H. H. Barbour will preach at
the Baptist Tabernacle, city, next Sunday.
The Rev. Mr. Pogson, of Bridgeport, oc-
cupied the pulpit of the First Baptist
church on Sunday last.
The Basket Pic-nic of St. Paul’s Sunday
School at Brookside Park on Wednesday
last, (postponed 'from the week before on
account of rainy weather,) was probably one
of the most thoroughly enjoyable of any held
' there this season. The day was an unex-
ceptionally fine one and the attendance quite
large, of scholars, teachers and parishioners.
The spacious pavilion was nearly filled with
tables well spread with cinemas and to which
ample justice was done. Enough was pro-
vided to furnish iall who attended and in
addition all were‘made happy by ‘a bountiful
supply of Meud’s ice cream. :Brookside has
had many happy and merry parties this sea-
son, but none happier or better satisfied than
that of St. Paul’s Sunday School.

Special Notice to “
Life is too short,neither is our nature large
enough to retain resentments, therefore, for
the double purpose of recommending a really
good medicine and at the same time show the
rascal who invaded our grounds one higbt
last week and stripped a favorite pear tree
how freely we forgive him, we want to state
that “Jardelle's Compound Syrup of Black-
berry” is one of the best remedies for the
cramps and cholera morbus, with which we
know he will be afflicted, if he eats the
green pears he stole from us.

On Thursday, Roton Point, the Brighton
of the East was fairly crowded, large par-
ties being present from Nod, Vista, Pound
Ridge, Stamford, and other places. There
was also present “The Millington Associa-
tion" a social party of New York gentlemen
from a New York Masonic Lodge, of which
Mi“. Davis of the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company is President, and
Mr. E. Millington. Capt. Penberthcy, Serg.
Andrews, and several members _of the well
known 00. H, of the 8th N. Y. B. M. are
active members. This was their fifth annual
visit to Norwalk to partake of a clam bake ;
they were very enthusiastic ,over this one,
pronouncing it the best one they had ever
had, and Mr. Ackert the prince of caterers.
They weresowell pleased with the Point
and the attentions they received that they
decided to comeagniu next year and to bring
their wives with them. They came by rail-
road and after an afternoon of much merri-
ment they returned to the city by an evening
train well pleased with their 5th annual clam
bake. They appeared to be a jolly set of
gentlemen out for one day’s good solid en-
joyment, and evidently had it if we may
judge from the reluctance with which they
tore themselves away from the I’oint,staylng
over several trains from the one originally
set for their return. Capt. Penberthy and
several others besides being old members of
the N. Y. S. M., served with honor through
the war in the N. Y. Volunteers.

OBITUARY.

a GONE HOME.
w
The funeral of Mrs. EDWARD C. BISSELL,
was attended last Friday at the residence of
Rev. S. B. S. Bissell, Rev. Mr. Hamilton
conducting the exercises. It was fitting that
the remains of this true wife and noble
mother should have been brought to the "old
homestead” for her final obsequies, Here it
was that she first came to Norwalk, a timid,
shy and beautiful bride. Here it was the
young wifefs bright visions of future home,
happiness, competence and position were first
awakened, and to those who recall all the
cheering accessories of that happy union,
never did the path of wedded life seem more
thickly spread with bright flowers. An ex—
ceptionally honored name and ancestry; high
position in local society ; wealth and all
the comforts, graces and consideration that
liberal means can supply, were the rich
dowery of the wedded pair there commenc-
ing life’s sunny voyage. As on they sailed
hope became fruition, and a beautiful home
and motherhood made a paradise of earth.
And never did nobler wife or more devoted
mother cheer a home or n'urture her children.
Then came untimely, chilling frosts and one
bud after another was torn from the mother’s
bosom and laid away in the grave. Then
property vanished like the thin fabric of the
vain dream it is. Sickness came and long
vigils of watching between alternate hope
and fear, as the husband was stricken down
and torn and mangled lay upon his bed of
pain. Then the "home" was surrendered
with all its dear and hallowed associations as
the birthplace of children. Yet amid all
this torrent of affliction the brave, noble wife
and mother never faltered. Grandly her
Christian faith sustained her. The darker
the shadpws enshrouding the once happy
home, the deeper the desolation as child after
child was taken, the more resolutely and
thoroughly did she seem imbued with the
Godly heroism of Job and say, “Though He
slay me, yet will I put my trust in the Most
High.”
In the death of such an one, “sorrowing
without hope" is an impossibility Terrible
as is the bereavement and desolate as will be
the hearts of the husband and children, rela-
tives and friends, yet who could wish to re-
call her passage across the dark river where
so many bright faces of children‘ “gone be-
fore” were eagerly greeting her rapt vision as
she stepped upon the celestial shore.
"To die is but landing upon the silent shore,
Where billows no.ver break or tempests roar."
BURR KNAI’P.
Mr. Burr Knapp, whose death occuired
last Friday, was 'a nativeborn son of Nor-
wslk, who has throughout an active life been
an honor to his town, his family, himself
and an honest and sturdy ancestry. Modest
and retiring in disposition, he was yet reso‘
lute and determined in all matters of busi-
ness engaging his attention. He was deeply
solicitous for-the growth and prosperity of
his town and wrought most resolutely to that
end. As a builder and business man he
has left many monuments of his enterprise,
industry and good taste. As'a friend he was
constant, faithful and steadfast. As a hus-
iband and father, rarely devoted and indulg-
ent. His death from some organic malady
which no skill or cars could avert, has made
his happy home, oh, so desolate, and cast a
shadow over many loving hearts. Quiet,
unobtrusive as he always was, he will never-
theless be greatly missed outside of his own
home and family circle where he was its joy
and light and life and inspiration. But he,
too, is gone, and there remains to us who
knew and loved him so well, only the recol—
lection of his pleasant companionship and
upright, sterling manhood. '
“Life‘s fitiul fever over
He sleeps well.”
MRS. A NNIE L. LOCKWOOD.
Our community was startled this Monday
morning by the intelligence that Mrs. Lock-
wood—(mi Annie L. Moore and widow of
the late George Lockwood) had died very
suddenly on Sunday at Ocean Grove. On
Saturday evening we met Dr. Hubbard, of
Bridgeport, at the South Norwalk depot,who
irformed us that having returned from a
. brief trip to the Adigpndacks he found an
earnest request that he would come over and
visit Mrs L., who v. as suffering more than
usual from a chronic disease of the heart.
Finding she had left for Ocean Grove with
a party of friends, the Doctor was returning
home under the belief that his patient was
better of her malady. To him, the announce-
ment of her sudden death will be as sad and
startling as to her many friends heresbouts.
Mrs, Lockwood was the daughter of L. H-
Moore, Esq, and though coming to Norwalk
in early childhood, by her bright and winsome
ways she' soon became an universal favorite.
Possessed of an unusually bright and
sunny disposition, she was the light and life,
the best beloved and ever w elcome guest of
every social circle. But “in the twinkling
of an eye” she is called to pass from the
pains and sorrows of earth to the supernal
joys of heaven. She leaves a young son, an
only one, to mourn and cherish the memory
of the loving, departed mother. May the
God of all consolation, temper the winds to
this shorn lamb.
ADA P. QUINTARD.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Frank Quintard have
been called to mourn the death of their little
girl, Ada, aged five years, under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. As is known to
many, Mr. Quintard recently exchanged his
pretty little cottage on Union Park, for the
late country residence of Henry 0. Bundle,
at Kent, Wilton. Here, about two weeks
since, while his little daughter was playing
with another child at “sec saw,” she fell from
the plank and apparently struck on the back
of her necknear the base of the brain. ~ She
went into the house slightly crying, but as
no special injury was visible it gave little
cause for alarm. A week ago, apparently
well,.she came down here to visit her grand-
mother, Mrs. Platt Price. A little before
night, however, she complained of pains in
her head, Next day her arms became par-
alyzed, and finally, almost the entire body.
Drs. Gordon of Wilton, Gregory of Norwalk,
Bennett of Danbury, and a New York phy—
sician, were called to her aid but could do
nothing to save her. Sunday morning she
peacefully passed away to the arms of Him
who said, “Suffer little children to come
unto Me and forbid them not." She was a
pretty, sprightly child, and naturally enough'
the joy and brightness of the parents‘ home
and hearts. They have the tenderest sympa-
thies of the entire community in their pecul-
iarly trying and distressing afiiiction.
“A beautiful flower to gladdcn the earth,
Unfolded its beams. but just at its birth
The chill winds swept by. its earth—tics were
rivcn; ,
The world was too cold for the nursling of
Heaven.”

Superior Court.
The Charles Comstock case, from New
Canaan, comes on to-day before the Superior
Court at Bridgeport. The. trial of Dr. Trowa
bridge, of Stamford, comes up this session,
but just when is uncertain.

Two liquor cases against McDonald and
Charlton, in the superior Court, last week,

ment of murderers and thieves.
I Reunion of the 17th Conn. Vols.
The reunion of this brave regiment at
New Canaan on Saturday was one of the
most successful and enjoyable of any yet
convened. There were an unusually large
number of commissioned officers present and
about 220 rank and file. Col. Noble, Lieut.
Col. Allen, Maj.Brady, Capts.Dunham,Wood,
Waterbury, Hubbell and others were of the
ofiicers. Drum Major Henry Huss came up
from Mt. Vernon with one of the pleasantest
features of the gathering—the Mt. Vernon
Boys Drum Corps, consisting of' sixteen
performers. The drum major was a ten
year old son of Col. Huss,and a still younger
one proved himself an adept on the snare.
Col. Huss is at present commander of one
of the New York regiments National Guard
and a local Alderman at Mt. Vernon. The
Wheeler .8: Wilson Band discoursed exqui-
site music throughout the day; the dinner
was the sit at feature of the day, and right
royally and munificently did the citizens,
especially the good ladies of New Canaan,
bestdw their ediblcs and viauds before the
hungry multitude. Provisions were amply
made for a thousand dinners, and more than
that number of soldiers, citizens, men,women
and children partook and yet there was food
left and to spare. The townspeople quite
generally decorated their residences with
flags and loyal colors. Upon the pretty cot-
tage of our democratic friend Purdy, the
stars and stripes were seen to float as natur-
ally as though its owner had shouldered his
musket and marched to the front. The
residence of Mr. Jackson Raymond was
quite elaborately draped. The nieces of S.
Y. St. John adjusted the figure of an old
woman to represent Whittier's character of
Barbara Fritchie, with the apt motto de—
pending from her upraised sun shade:
"Shoot it you must this old gray head,
But spare you country’s flag.she said.”
A piece of artillery was planted on the
high hill near dhe Congregational church,
which gave the boys receiving and parting
salutes. It alsozwas manned by a veteran
artileryman.
The Messenger office was gully decked with
flags from staff and ridge, while across the
street was an outstrached eagle covering the
U. S. shield and the motto “ Welcome Vets."
Editor Kirk and Lieut. Bliss were among the
most indefatlguable in getting up the recep-
tion and perfecting all things connected with
the reunion. .
At the business meeting ,of the veterans
held in the Town Hall in the morning, Capt.
Wade, of the Bridgeport Standard, was
elected President of the association for the
ensuing year. George W. Keeler, of Bridge-
port, was chosen Secretary and Treasurer.
The executive committee were Gen. Noble
and Captain Waterbury. —
The following were the Vice Presidents:
Co. A, Robert Wilcox ;.Co. B, Sergt. Scho-
field; Co. 0. George Purdy: Co. D, Capt.
W. L. Hubbell; Co. E, Sergt.C. Murray;
Cb. F, Sergt. C. F. Loomis; Co. G, Capt.
Dunham; Co. H, Sergt. Whitfield; Co. 1,
Wm. Baker; Co. K, Sergt. J. H. Porth.
After' the selection of officers 001. Allen
introduced the following:
Germanium—The circumstances under
which We meet today are profoundly sad.
Only a few short weeks have passed away
since the startling intelligence flashed over
the civilized wogld that the President of the
United States was stricken down by the hand
of. a cowardly assassin. In view of this
terrible event which has cast a gloom of
sadness over the land. I deem it proper that
this association shall express their horror and
condemnation of the cowardly act and at the
same time tender their sympathy to the
President and his family. Therefore I offer
for your adoption the following preamble
and resolutions which I am positive will
meet your approval:
Wnsrxss —A dastardly attempt has been
made to assassinate the Chief Magistrate of
the naéion, therefore be it '
Resolved, That the Veteran Association of
the 17th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers,
assembled on the occasion of their 15th an-
nual re-uniou, view with horror and indig-
nation the recent attempt to take the life of
President Garfield, and we hereby express
our condemnation of the cowardly act.
Resolved, That we are deeply touched with
the sterling heroism with which the Presi-
dent has borne the terrible sufi‘erings entailed
by this appalling calamity, and that we ten-
der to him our honest sympathy and our
heartfelt congratulations, that, by the aid of
Divine Providence, he has thus;far survived
the great perils which have encompassed
him, and that we reverently invoke Merci-
ful God to speedily return him to health and
strength.
Resolved, That to his devoted and heroic
wife, and his aged mother and dear children
we tender our condolence and sympathy,
express the earnest wish that God will spare
a life so precious to them and full of promise
of good to the whole country.
Rpsoived, That the above resolutions be
entered upon the records and a copy of the
same forwarded to the Secretary of State
with request that ,he present them to the
President and his family.
The remarks and resolutions were the sig-
nal for a general outburst.
Capt. Dunham and Anthony Comstock, rose
in succession and enthusiastically endorsed
their sentiments.
Dinner was next served, after which the
vets and their friends re—assembled in the
Town Hall, where music by the boys drum
corps, letters and telegrams were read, and
speeches were made by one and another
until it was time to take cars and carriages
for home.
A gratifying incident was the calling to
the stage of the regiment’s old drum major,
Col. Hues, and its venerable but patriotic
fifer, Capt. Asa S. Curtis, who gave “the
boys” a specimen of the old-time music to
which they kept step when marching in
battle array to meet the enemies of the Union
at the front. The day was all that could be
desired, and it passed off as one of the most
delightful reunions these heroes of the war
have ever enjoyed. It was pronounced an
improvement on the good time they had at
New Canaan nine years ago.

The inquest in the Jennie Cramer case,
was continued in West Haven, last week,
and will probably occupy all of the premt
week. A man with a f‘black mustache,"
who was at Savin Rock on the eventful
Friday night, has appeared upon the scene.
He was a Boston “sport,” but had a case of
his own on hand, and probably really knows
little or nothing of the Cramer mystery, and
his testimony may not be of any value.
Witnesses seem to have established the fact
that Jennie and Blanche were together
Thursday afternoon and evening, and that
Blanche was with Jennie, at Savin Rock,
Friday night, thus disposing of Blanche's
“confession” and the Malley “alibi.” No
motive has been shown for murder.

Gen. Noble, '
Ninntic and Groton.
Our soldier boys are looking forward to
the Encampment with a great deal of inter-
est. They start for Nisntic next Monday
moruin and return the following Saturday
in the iternoon. On Tuesday, the 6th,,
they will take part in the Centennial cclc—
bration at Groton, and take part as British
soldiers in the sham fights. After capturing
Fort Griswold they will assault the collation
result.
The camp will be one-third larger than
usual, there being one more Regiment, and
it is intended to make it the best Encamp—
ment yet held. It is expected that General
Sherman will visit the camp one day. Gov.
Bigelow and Staff will review the troops on
Friday, at ho’clock, p. m.
This year an extra effort will be made to
keep track of the mgn. No passes will be
issued except in cases of urgent necessity;
the men are paid to remain in camp and do
duty and it is expected that they will. Any
man absent without leave will be ncd not
to exceed ten dollars as provided by law.
Furthermore, every morning, each regimen—
tal paymaster will 'in person muster eyery
man in his regiment, so that no one not
present to answer to his namqwill be able to
draw State pay. In the case of privates this
is two dollars and thirty cents a day, or
$13.80 for the week. Out of this will come
about six dollars for board and the regimen.
tal assessment of one dollar. Transportation
is furnished by the state.
At the request of the commander-imchicf,
Colonel H. B. Clitz, Tenth United States
infantry, has been detailed by the general of
the army to be present at the encampment.
The brigadier-general commanding will give
every opportunity to Colonel Clitz to witness
the drills, duties and ceremonies connected
w' h the encampment, and such inspections
as may desire to make.
Military Matters.
The last drill of Co. F, previous to -going
into camp, will take place on Friday'cvening,
Sept. 2d, to which the public and friends of
the company are invited. '
The new ova-coats, which were expected
to be received here, will not be issued until
reaching camp. .
Gen. Sherman will probably be in attend-
ance at this camp.

An Interesting Gathering.
There was, last week, a novel yet deeply
interesting gathering of aged matrons “Down
Town,” who participated in a “surprise par-
ty” given the aged Mrs. Samuel Dasksm by
her daughter, Mrs. George H. Bradley, now
residing with her mother, at the ancient
“Hanford Fitch place,” at the lower end Of
East Avenue, near the Railroad crossing.
The old homestead (now at least a century
and a half old) has recently been refitted by
Mrs. Bradley for the more comfortable enter-
tainment of her mother, and with new paint
and new paper, and new hangings, looked
as bright and cheerful as did the select com-
pany of ancient matrons who had convened
to honor their venerable hostess with a visit.
The select company comprised early friends
and schoolmates, as follows :—
Mrs. Samuel Daskam, in her 88th year,
Mrs. Eli B. Bennett, “ 87th “
Mrs. Stephen Smith, “ 85th “
Mrs. Henry Rogers, “ 85th "
Mrs; William Clark', " Slst “
The distinguished quintette thus aggregat-
ing an age of four hundred and twenty—sic
years .’ The novel party took dinner and
"tea" together, and’ though “old times" and
“when I was a gal,” were freely discussed,
no time or inclination manifested itself for
retailing any “neighborhood scandals,” as is
reputed to be the case, when less mature and
less motherly dames convene to sip their Bo-
hea. During the afternoon, Mrs. D.’s pastor,
the Rev. C. M. Selleck, called to pay his rc-
spccts and invoke God’s continued and abun-
dant blessings upon his aged servants. It
was a rarely happy day for all the partici-
pants and not uninstruetive and uninterest-
ing to the, casual locker on, who could not
fail to reverently thank God for the length of
.days and remarkable measure of strength
and health still vouchsafed to the venerable
and most worthy ladies, now awaiting with-
out fear and with hope and faith sublime
the near opening before their steps of the
gates of the celestial city.
Mrs. Daskam is the mother of our ex-
Mayor Samuel Daskam, and Mrs. Bradley,
her daughter, is the mother—in—law of Minot
Osborn, of the New Haven Register. ‘
The Band Concerts.
Crowds of people were in attendance at
the Band Concert held on the Green last
Friday night. The next concert will be
given Friday evening on Union Park. .
m .
Oyster-men’s Pic-Nic.
The long-talked of Pic-Nic of the oyster-
men of this State takes place at Glen Island,
today, Tuesday. Gov. Bigelow has promised
toattend if possible. Capt. Roberts, of this
place, is a member of the committee of ar-
rangements. A large attendance of oyster—
men is expected. ‘ . -
' . Board of Trade.‘
An adjourned meeting of the Board of
Trade is to be held at the Horse Railway
Office on Friday evening at 8 o'clock, to hear
report of canvassing committee, onsubject
of New Shoe Shop. All interested, whether
members or not are invited to be present.
The Circus.
The circurious people with all their wild
animals, paraphernalia, &c., will arrive to-
morrow, Wednesday. The street parade
occurs in the morning, and performances
willbe given both afternoon and evening.
The tents will be erected near the Mott
House, corner of Wall St. Mid Belden Ave.
The following in the Weaport correspond-
ence of the last Democrat, gives a special
democratic aspect to the state of society as it
exists in that somewhat peculiar town.
“When boxes of cigars and whiskey are
introduced into an election for school officers
as they were at a recent school meeting, and
men are hired to convey the voters to and
from the meeting, it is about time that the
parents who send children to the school ap—
peal to the Board of Education to protect
their rights for them, Of thirty-one votes
cast on last Monday evening for a certain
Committee but three among the number have
children who attend the school.”
If tramps really want to keep out of jail
they should give this state the go-by. Quite
a number of the gentry were tried and con-

WW York, the maker of all large canvases.
He is the man to whom the public and
