Scnator O. H. Platt, of this State, has re-
turned from the Adirondacks and gone to
Washington to attend the extra session of the
Senate. His health is said to be greatly im-
proved,and he now thinks he will be able to
' atlcnd to the duties of his position through
the winter session.
The Hartford Post contains detailed re-
ports of the town elections throughout the
state, from which it appears that the repub-
licans have made substantial gains over last
year, Of the 165 towns in the state'90 went
republican, 51 democratic, while 24 are di-
vided. Last year the republicans carried 87
towns, the democrats 55, and 23 were di-
vided. From this it appears that the repub-
licans have made a net gain of seven towns.

Railroad Matters.
The surveying party from the .Harlem
Railroad are still in town, and for the past
week have been mostly on the line of the
Parallel location which we learn they find
much more feasible than the line across the
harbor, which line would necessitate two
draw bridges and heavy cuts and fills, and
would, besides being much more expensive,
require more time to run trains than
the upper line in consequence of the delay
at the draw-bridges, to say nothing of the
annoyances it would be to those engaged in
navigation above such bridges in our harbor.
We shall give from week to week a statement
of the progress made and hope are many weeks
to be able to say that the road will be com-
menced this fall.

The family of Mr. Henry I. Hoyt, of
I-Iighwood, have been made glad by a brief
visit from their son Augustus, bringing home
from St. Louis his accomplished bride, of
whom'cxcellent things Me spoken by her
pastor, Rev. C. L. Goodell, D. D., formerly
of New Britain. It is alwaysa‘pleasure and
a pride when our Norwalk young men carry
of the prizes of other cities and towns, so
making reprisals for the raids so often made
by strangers among Norwalk’s fair daughters.
Mr. Hoyt has returned to St. Louis bearing
with him many good wishes for the health
and happiness of him and his.
Fires.
The last week seems to have been prolific
in fires, especially in South Norwalk limits.
On Wednesday afternoon, at about 5:30, the
house of Thomas Barry in Graniteville dis-
trict, was discovered to be on fire; water be-
ing scarce and it being so far out in the su-
burbs, it was about entirely destroyed. Sup-
posed to have been accidentally fired by
children.
On Thursday evening, the house of R. G.
Millard at Spriugwood, was also nearly de-
stroyed in the absence of the family. Fire
supposed to have been caused by the bursting
of an oil lamp. . .
In both cases the City Fire Department
turned out, but were not able to stay the
flames. ‘ '
On Thursday evening, fire was discovered
in one of the upper stories of C. S. Lock-
wood‘s brick building, Main street, Borough.
but the Phoenix boys promptly squelched it
with a few pails of walcr.
m
Sale of Bell’s Island.
Messrs. Joel G. and Timothy Foster, and
Levi K. Mansfield, of Danbury, have pur——
chased sixteen acres of land at Bell’s Island.
They propose to erect cottages and fix up
the place as a summer resort.
Mons Romanians—On Tuesday afternoon
last, the residence of Mr. J. H. Bulkley, So.
Union avenue, was entered and robbed of a
gold watch, coin and other articles of value
to the amount of some two hundred dollars
altogether. The house was thoroughly ran-
sacked and many articles wantonly injured.
A boy named Billsborough, about ten years
of age, was seen about the house that after-
noon. Our police were notified and the boy
wasarrested. He proved to be the guilty
party and most of the property was recover-
ed. Justice Mead sent the boy to the State
Reform School. .
On the same day Chief Sullivan caught
two men, probably tramps, stealing clothes
from a line near the creek. y were
brought before J usticc Mead an ed. In
default of payment they were taken to jail.
The statement widely published that the
government had set a price upon silver coins‘
with holes bored in them, turns out to be
false, and was the work of a speculator who
ought to be prosecuted. The government
will buy such pieces and pay for them by
weight. We presume jewelers will do the
same. Why would it not not pay some on-
terprising dealeum take such coins in trade
at a'reasonable fixed discount.
OBITUARY.
The venerable Mrs. Barnum departed this
life on Tuesday last, in the eighty-sixth year
of her age. She was the widow of the late
Noah Barnum, who was for many years a
deacon in the First Congregational church of
this place.
It is probable that the Water Commission-
ers will not carry out the proposed plan of
connecting the Borough and City mains on
West avenue; at least not at present. To do
so would involve considerable expense, as it
would necessitate the laying of nearly four
hundred feet of pipe. The Borough pipe is
twelve inches in diameter and the City pipe
only six inches, at this point, and the right
.size of pipe cannot now be readily obtained.
The connection of the two water works at
that point, however, we believe would be an
excellent plan, beneficial to both parties, and
we presume the work will be done some time
in the future.

To New Voters.
The Registrars of voters are to hold their
first public meeting on Thursday, October
20th, from 9 a. in. until 5 p. m. Applica-
tions “to be made”‘voters must be handed
in to them at this meeting, or before. .The
following day they must deposit their first
list, with a list of all “to be lmade,” and no
applications can be received thereafter. If
your application is not in then you will not
have another chance to be made a voter until
after the town election next year—unless the
to be made you cannot vote at the coming
election, nor at the Borough, election in
December. Neither would you have a right
to vote at school meetings. To .obligc per-
sons desiring totbe made ’ voters, Registrars
in this vicinity generally make a practice of
receiving applications at any time prior to
their first meeting. Hand in your applica-
tion now.
Men who have ever been admitted voters
in this town, and whose names have been
omitted from the lists, can have their names
restored on application to the 'rcgistrars, if
they have resided in the State one year and
in town six months.
The registrars will hold other public
meetings for the revision and correction of
their lists,which will:be duly announced. At
these meetings names can be added or taken
off. ”or the depoeiting of their final lists,
the Wednesday before election, no names
can be taken off and all registered can vote
unless it can :bc showd that they have
changed their residence since the completion
of the list, or have been convicted of some
offence which disfranchises. If voters will
bear this inmind there will be little occasion
for “challenging" at the polls.
The New Stone Bridge.
The stone work of the new bridge over the
Norwalk River, on the New Canaan road,
is finished and the work of filling in with
gravel has commenced. The wing walls, or
side walls to the approaches yet remain to
be completed. 'It will not be long, therefore,
before the bridge will be thrown open to the
public.

“Experiences.” Certainly the eloquent lec-
turer will be perfectly at home with such a
rich subject. The lecture will be given at
the Opera House on the evening of the 20th

against Charles J. Guiteau for the murder of
James A. Garfield, late President of the
United States, was presented to the grand

The Fair.
The ladies of the First Congregational
Church met with fair success last week.
They cleared, we understand, nearly $400,
which is quite a sum to realize at a Protes-
tant Fair. Quite a number of ,beautiful and
fancy articles which remained unsold are
now on exhibition and sale at the residence
of Mrs. S. B. S. Bissell.
The Assessors.
The newly elected Board of Town Asses-
sors promptly met on Wednesday morning
last and at once commenced their labors. It
will be seen by their announcement in to-
days issue of the Gaznrra that they ar’now
{eady to receive lists. They are also pré.
pared to furnish the necessary blanks to all
applicants. Make out your lists in time and
avoid the penalty.

Mr. N. W. Aldrich, was on Wedncs
(lay elected senator for Rhodc Island, to
succeed Gen. Burnside, deceased. He he-
longs to the best class of merchants or busi-
ness men as they are called, and has succeed-
ed in his private business, while he has also
found time to make himself familiar with
political affairs and obtain prominence in the
field at an early age. He is just 40 years
old and has served with distinction in the
lower house of congress, after a previous ex-
perience in the common council .of Provi-
dence and in the state legislature.
New Milford Oysters.
New Milford, as many of our readers
know, is a thriving, wide-awake town on the
Housatonic River, some forty miles away
from salt water, and was until the erection
of the Ousatonic dam at Birmingham, known
as the head of shad navigation, and the good
people, headed by the “Doctor," made val-
iant fight in the legislature against the grant-
ing of the charter for the dam, which would
deprive them of their annual finny _ visitors,
but alas, the lobby was too strong, the char-
ter was granted, and, well—the “fishway”
was not a succes. To compensate for the
loss of their scaly friends, it seems, it we
may credit one of their townsfolk, that oys-
ter culture has become a new industry there,
and the good and bad people that visited the
Danbury Fair last week, were allowed to
test their quality by the payment of a quar-
ter for a stew. As a trio of visitors from
salt water regions were looking around the
fair grounds they observed a nice-looking
and well-arranged tent and tables, hailin g
from New Milford, and were invited by the
proprietor , to patronize his establishment.
On being asked, the proprietor assured them
that he had the very best native oysters, and
so induced, in they went, and in due time
three bowls of bluish looking liquid were set
before them, and by dexterous fishing some;
oysters were found that resembled in color
the oyster, and many of the inhabitants of
the coasts of Maryland and Virginia where
miscegenation prevails, and it is sufficient to
say that the flavor of the oyster did credit to
their color. The trio beat a hasty retreat,
and on passing out of the tent were asked
by the native dispensator how they liked the
oysters, when one of them simply replied by
asking the questioner if he did not think
that the remOval of the dam at Birmingham
would improve the flavor of New Milford
oysters.
John G. North, Esq, of New Haven, was
present at the Garfield memorial services
held by Concord Division, S of T., on Fri-
day evening last.

Micliigan Sufferers.
We understand that the Adams’ Express
Company charges half-price on all merchan-
dize sent to the Michigan sufferers, but the
American Express Company will carry eve-
rything intended for the sufferers free of any
charge whatever. It had been generally un-
derstood that the Adams’ Express Co. made
no charge, but it seems that they are not
quite as liberal as they had been credited
with being by tne public, and are beaten by
their competitors.
Mrs. Emily Mott is now packing her third
box for the Michigan sufferers. Anyone
wishing to donate can leave their offerings at
Mrs. Edwin Hoyt’s, Main street, this week.
The ladies of the Congregational Society
are making an effort to raise a fund for the
relief of the Michigan sufiferers.
_Tiie Aid Fund.
.The following cash subscriptions have been
received for the sufferers by Col. F. St. John
Lockwood, since our last:
Previously acknowledged by L. S. Cole,
$91 00
W. R. Lockwood, 20 00
J. F. Ruscoe, 5 00
$116 00
Sheriff W. H. Merrick who is the local
committee for the Port Austin district, con-
sisting of the towns of Port Austin, Dwight,
Hume, east half of Lake, east half of Chan-
dler, north half of Meade, and north half of
Lincoln, publicly acknowledges the reception‘
of $50 from Col. Lockwood.
In acknowledging the reception of a cash
donation sent 'him by Col. Lockwood, the
venerable Episcopal missionary in that dis-
trict, writes as follows:
,“Backwoods’ misssionaries are .so unac-
customed to receive such favors, from a dis-
tance, that one could hardly conceive it was
to be all used for oneself. I have been 12
years a missionary in the backwoods of Mich-
gan, and yours is the first cash present Iever
received from any source, except my little
salary. In the midst of our heart-reading
situation I could scarcely believe you could
mean the money was for me. Pray,am I right
in so understanding it? '
Amid the desolation of 20 townships burnt
over—8,000 homes in ashes—15,000 people
unsheltered and crops all destroyed—over 200
burnt to death—200 of my own parishioners
burnt out—two churches and two school
houses, available for my use, entirely swept
away—$263 of my salary due, lost forever—
yet by God’s blessing the people have resolv-
ed to begin dc noco.
Yesterday, at Badaxe, we organized a
church building committee to build our
church, the poor men offering to dig the
foundation, to haul stone, to build the wall
and the like. The Bishop will send the lum-'
her from Detroit, and we expect by the 1st
of January to be once more comfortably
housed in God’s holy temple, to thank him
for sparing mercy amidst terrible judgment.
At Badaxe we have nothing left but souls—
and we must care for them.
‘ Yesterday I drove my Bishop 40 miles
through the desolate blackened ruins of the
track of the fire fiend. He was visibly affect-
ed at the horror of the situation, which none
but a merciful God can know but those who
witnessed the scenes of distress. Most grate-
fully yours in Christ and His Holy Church.

The Danbury Fair.
The Danbury Fair was a success, and well
deserved to be. The Society is managed by
some of the town’s best citizens—the people
take great interest in its success—and local
merchants and manufacturers take hold and
do their best to make the exhibition attrac-
tive. One good show advertises the next,
and the result of a good reputation is to
draw crowds of people from near and far.
This year the exhibition, in all departments,
was probably fully up to the average, and in
some departments—notably the art loan col-
lection—was much better than ever before.
The attendance was large.
On Wednesday there were 1,562 paid ad- ,
missions; Thursday, 8,719; Friday, 13,878.
The attendance on the same days of the
week last year, were 1,881; 7,956; 11,803.
Excursion trains were run on the D. &N.
R. R. and east and west on the new railroad.
The new railroad carried crowds of passen-
gers between Danbury and the grounds,
making frequent trips. Certainly Danbury
has a right to be proud of her annual fair.
Mr. Philip Hardenbrook, the 'eldest of the
Hardenbrook Brothers, died at Jamaica, L.

owner of the Connecticut Hotel property

received about three weeks ago. At last
advices he was gaining health'slowly and ex-
pected soon to be able to go out.

The vote polled for the Reform ticket last
week. shows that the majority of the mem-
bers did not believe in prostituting the organ‘
ization into a more political machine. The
ticket was evidently manipulated by certain
parties in their own personal interest, and in
so doing they have dealt the Club a blow
which may prove fatal. As a Reform Club,
the organization has done much good and is
capable of doing more, but as political med-
dlers they can only meet with utter failure
and disgust their best friends and earnest
supporters. Let us have the Reform Club
reformed altogether in this matter.

About the same state of affairs is said to
have existed in Danbury. It is claimed that
many good temperance men, in principle,
voted for‘ lidense in Danbury from the im-
pression that the Reform club had endeavor-
ed to control the caucus appointments. One
of the leading men in the organization says,
openly, that he can be “counted out,” if the
society intends to meddle in politics. as it
will surely "end in ruin to the temperance
cause ; and it certainly requires no great
amount of wisdom to foresee such a result.—

Town Election.
The vote on auditors and other ofilccrs but
slightly scratched, shows that the Republi-
cans polled from two to three hundred more
votes than the Democrats. They elected. all
the officers on their.ticket with the exception
of one selectmen,-clerk, onp constable, one
grand juror and two justices. Out of fifty-
onc candidates on the Republican ticket all
but six were elected.
The defeat of Town Clerk Sclleck was a
totally unlocked for event. All the compli-
cations happened to be against him, and when
the vote was counted he was 28 behind his
opponent who was probably as much sur-
prised as any body to find himself elected.
Where there was so much scratching it must
be consoling to Mr. Sclleck tolknow that his
name almost entirely escaped. Certainly no
man could-have run‘better. lle has served
the town as clerk eighteen years—six as as-
sistant and twolve as principal, and the town
can ill spare his faithful services and large
- experience.
The Vote on License.
Whatever may have been the case in the
the Second District, there was no apparent
effort to push the vote on No License in the
First District, and but little interest was
manifested in the question. The people who
have usually voted no generally voted the
same way this year. The large vote for
license was a surprise to many, but not to
those who had theireyes about them. The
saloon keepers who were all at work station-
ed one of the most pbpular of their number
near the box, and whenever a voter came up
who apparently desired to dodge that ques-
tion he politely offered a license ballot and
urged the man to vote it, and in this way sc-
cured a very large majority of the indiffer-
ent voters and a strong vote for license.

The Senate.
The extra session aiembled yesterday.
Senator Bayard was elected President pro
tem 34 to 32. The Senate then adjourned.
The Republican State Convention, which
met in New York city Wednesday, put in
nomination the following ticket:
Secretary of State—Joseph B. Carr, of
Rensselaer County.
Controller—Senator Ira Davenport, of
Stuben COunty. ,
Attorney-General—Leslie W. Russell, of
St. Lawrence.
Treasurer—James W. Huested, .of West.
cheater.
Engineer and Surveyor—Silas Seymour, of
Saratoga. '
Judge of the Court of Appeals—Francis
M. Finch, of Tompkins.
There was nothing to disturb the harmony
of the Convention until the question of the
reorganization of the party in New York
and Kings Counties came This caused
much excitement and som itter speeches
were made. The matter was finally laid on
the table by a vote of 202 to 197. Senator
Warner Miller was elected temporary chair-
man, and Chauncey M. Depew permanent
chairman. The platform which was adopted
deplores the death of President Garfield, de-
clares great confidence in President Arthur,
and pledges him firm support. Governor
Cornell was praised for his wisdom, pru-
dence and economy. Equal taxation of cor-
porations and individuals was insisted upon.

Fun on the Bristol.
This play is to be given. for the first time
in Norwalk, at Music Hall, te-night. It has
been a great success, and is everywhere
known as one ofthe most laughable plays 09
the stage.
The anchoring of the “Bristol" at the 0p-
cra House last night was a source of much
enjoyment to a very large audience. The
entertainment is a broad farce—an amusing
burlesque with hits of comedy, and a bright
musical medley all mixed in one conglomer-
ate mass, and very successfully evolved. It
‘kept'lhc’n‘udieuce in u'oontinunl roar of
laughter, and may be characterized as the
most convulsing entertainment that has visit-
ed Troy this season. It excelled the “Tour-
ists" in every particular; the scenery was
fine and each character 'was sustained with,
much-vivacity. The musical melange was
excellently presented and the singing was of
a high order. “Fun on the Bristol” is de-
serving of patronage—Troy Times.

Probably no kind of business now trans-
acted in town has changed more in modus
operandi than that ,of the grocers. Old resi-
dents; remember in time of Gould Jennings,
S. E. Olmstead, Win. Daskam, Joseph Meek-
er and others, that in those days, they had to
carry everything home themselves that they
bought, but now-a—days how different it is
done. Take, for instance, the young and en-
terprising firm of Raymond 8.7 Nickerson;
although in business only about two years
they probably get off more goods in one
week than was disposed of by all the gro-
ceries in town in times above mentioned,
andfiicy are only one of a score or more now
actively engaged in the trade. They have
two handsomely equipped and tastefully
painted wagons constantly running about
town taking orders and delivering goods, and
at' their store at No. 9 Main street, they are
constantly in motion, active as bees in the
midst of their honey-making, waiting-on
customers and putting up goods for delivery.
They have won a very enviable position in
the trade in a-short time,but it has been done
by hard work and persistent attention to
business, and what is more to the point, by
always furnishing the very best of goods in
their line at the lowest price. Don’t fail to
give them a call.

Railroad Reports.
It is now announced that trains will run
through from Boston to the Hudson, 0. dis -
fence of 228.miles, by November 1st. The
large transfer steamer, Maryland, now used
in transferring freight and passengers be-
tween Harlem and Jersey City, will hgreafter
performs like duty between Fishkill and
Newburgh, and a new steamer is being built
to supply her place. This idea of transfer-
ring passengers by boat has been in practice
since 1876. It gives excellent satisfaction
and saves all delay and bother of changing
cars. Aboat like the Maryland will carry
eight loaded passenger cars with ease and
safety.
The Boston Traeellcr says: “Notwith-
standing the denials of the reports now cur-
rent regarding the leasing of the New York
and New England Railroad by the Erie 'peo-
ple, it is known on the best of authority,
that negotiations looking to that result are
now pending and will be consummated as
soon as the road is opened for business to the
Hudson River, if not before.
The Boston Transcript, Saturday, says :—
“The rumor of a lease of the New York and
New England to the Eric is “again revived.
Though not consummated, the announce-
ment at any time of the absorptionot this
company by any other of the trunk lines
need cause no surprise. The Vanderbilt
freight war over, the New England business
could be settled quicker and more surely in
this manner than in any other.”
The New Haven Palladium reports an in-
~terview with President Watrousof the New,
marNew Ham and Hartford railroad con-
cerning the rumors of a new road between
New York and New Haven. Mr. Watrous is
reported as saying that he knows that Mr.
Vanderbilt has ordered the preliminary sur~
vey of such a line and also of a line thence to
Springfield. Mr. Watrous does not attach as
much importance to this movement as to the
regular so-called “Parallel road. This new
Vanderbilt scheme, he says, takes the place
of that which was broken up by the purchase ‘
last year of the control of the Canal road for
a million dollars.

Politeness Pays.
A gentleman of Bridgeport was an inter-
ested and amused party in an episode which
occurred Friday evening at the South Nor-
walk depot. While strolling about the plat-
form waiting for a train, he saw a woman
slip on something and nearly full. Full of
sympathy and politeness, he hurried to the
rescue and assisted her to rise. As she as-
sumed an upright attitude, however, some-
thing‘escuped from her possession that at
once caught her benefactor-‘2 eye. It was
nothing else than his valise which he had left
in the depot a minute before, and which, it
appeared, the distressed female was trying to
get away with. The gentleman is more than
ever convinced that politeness does pay.

Hon. W. E. Dodge, in the Evangelist,
relates the following incident: Years ago,
when Superintendent of the 14th Street
Church Sunday School, I had a most faith-
in] teacher. He was engineer of the New
Haven R. R. daily express train, Sundays
excepted. Aheavy fall of snow came on
Saturday night. On Sunday morning the
Superintendent ordered him to get out his
engine to break the road, He sent back
word that he was just going to Sabbath
school and could. not. The messenger re-
turned saying he must come at once. He
replied, I am engaged only to run the daily
express, I cannot run an engine on Sunday.
When he came to school he told me be
presumed he had lost his place. I told him
to go Monday morning and frankly state his
case. He did so and the Superintendent
said 2 I understand and appreciate your con-
scientious feelings, and you shall never again
be called to run your engine on Sunday
When the Norwalk disaster occurred, as it
was this enginneer’s train. I hastened to the
Superintendent’s office to learn the engineer’s
fate. The Superintendent replied: 0 no!
If Smith had been on that train no accident
would have occurred. Ihad given him a
day to move his family and placed another
man in charge.
