Election Results.
There was a boom of Republican victories
all along the line, on Tuesday last. Here in
Norwalk the Republicans never fought or
won a more glorious battle. Our adversa-
rics hoped to succeed because of the apathy
usually following upon our severe but suc-
cessful presidential campaign. The new sena.
torial district into which our town has been
merged, it was believed by the democratic
wiseacres in and out of the last legislature,
would fall an easy prey to democratic ascend-
ancy. The democratic towns of Westport,
Weston, Fairfield and Trumbull, it was
thought could be easily made to overcome
any republican majorities old Norwalk and
patriotic little Stratford could give. But
mark the result. The-Republicans of Strat-
ford resolved to stand by Norwalk and added
a good, wholesome majority to our six hun-
dred and nineteen for Baker. Trumbull and
Weston did nobly, and we wish we could say
fully as much for our friends in Westport
and Fairfield. The Republican vote ought
to have been much larger in both these
towns, but we will not complain as we know
our friends there have great odds to contend
with. We don’t want to be unreasonable,
only it is a little hard to send our new dis-
trict off on its first vote with a beggarlyfioe
hundred majority, when we might easily have
made it eight hundred had all the Republi-
cans of the district worked as indefatigably
as they did here in Norwalk.
Our representatives majority of rising four
hundred is a matter to exalt over, when we
take into account all the subtle efforts of the
democracy to work up “Reform ” and
“ Oyster” and local prejudices to the injury
of our ticket. The splendid result in Net-
walk, shows that we are indebted to large
numbers of Irish-Americans, who are tired
of being driven like cattle by a few self-
constituted'lcaders of the democratic party,
and who came up of their own accord and
voted our ticket. All praise to this body of
intelligent and independent men, who had
the courage to vote for the beef men regard-
less of their old party afiiliations. One fact
has been fully and clearly demonstrated by
this election. Our opponents have got to put
better men in nomination and diflcrent
leaders to manage for them, and cease their
old time methods of coercing and driving
their naturalized voters, or they won’t have
party enough left here in Norwalk to run an
election with. Take the Irish vote from their
party here and there wouldn't be enough left
for pallbearers for the democratic funeral, as
everybody knows.
The result throughout the state is most
satisfactory and cheering. Last Tuesday’s
vote clearly indicates that little Connecticut
may safely be relied upon to take her perma-
nent place among the steadfast Republican
states of the Union.
Massachusetts gives one of her old time
Republican majorities.
New York does splendidly. She elects all
her state ofiicers on the Republican ticket
with one exception, and proves her ability to
go Republican whenever called upon in any
important contest. She loses the legislature
by a small majority.
Wisconsin rolls up a ten thousand Repub'
lican majority. '
Maryland. though democratic, shows such
amazing Republican gains as to rejoice every
patriot, and give earnest hope that she too
will ere long be ranked among the progressive
Republican states.
Mississippi had her usual election bulldoz-
ing and bloody massacre and as a matter of
course—democratic triumph.
By far the most significant and gratifying
victory of all has been won by the united
opponents of the “ Solid South” and bour-
bon democracy of Old Virginia, led by that
valliant cheftain, Senator Mahone. This is
the first break that has been made in the
solid ranks of the disloyal,reactionary, soured,
negro-hating, ballot-box-stufiing democracy
of the South since therebellion. It presages
a mighty political revolution throughout the
hitherto “ Solid South.” It is well known
that there are tens of thousands of old Henry
Clay Whigs, true Union democrats and en-
terprising business men, only too anxious to
cut loose from the bourbons and the dead
past, and earnestly desirous to place their
sunny section of the Union in line with the
liberty-loving and progressive North. This
triumph of Mahone’s will be to these waiting
thousands the bright morning’ star of their
hope and their deliverance from the political
and personal thraldom which has enslaved
them. Mahone has not only carried the
state ticket but the legisluturé,which ensures
a Republican U. S. Senator in place of that
fossilized bourbon mummy,Senator Johnston.
This gives us Republican control in the Sen-
ate and will go a great ways toward directing
the steps of the two Virginia independents
in the House, into the Republican camp,
which will give us as well, the uncontested
control of the next National House of Rep-
resentatives. But far beyond all Republi-
can advantages do wc deem this Virginia over-
throw of the bourbongdemocracy, as a sure
promise of personal and social freedom and an
honest count of a fair and honest vote in that
state, and ultimately throughout the South.
With unrestricted education, perfect freedom
in political action, an hgnest vote and
count, which this victory promises—the
South will become loyal to the Union, the
friend and promotor of manufactories and
free labor and the genial home of a thrifly
populalion of industrious, enterprising, pat-
riotic people. God speed the day when these
bright and promising conditions shall invite
the enormous immigration of population and
introduction of capital, now impatient to till
and improve her sunny fields and set the hum
of machinery beside her tens of thousands
waiting mill sites.

Fine Arts.
William Mitchell, the young son of Samuel
' Mitchell, Esq., of the Model Market, exhibits
a very fine crayon work in the window of
Jackson Bros' store. It is a cepy of a very
pretty Short Horn milch cow and is certainly
a very artistic piece of work. Young Mitch-
ell took his .lessons in drawing from Mrs.
Merrill, we believe.
Chas. S. Lockwood exhibits in the window
of his Main Street store, an artistic oil paint-
ing the delft handiwork of his wife. Mrs.
Lockwood is not only an expert_cultivator
of house plants and flowers, but shows the
true artist’s instincts and accomplishments
whenever she puts brush to the canvass or
pencil to the board.

Beats 3 Fish Story.
It is stated that Meeker Brothers sold the
winter’s coal to one of our cautious citizens,
who thinking he would test the proverbial
accuracy of coalmen’s weights, quietly had
Weighmaster Cooney re-weigh his loads.
The total, as weighed on the ofilcial scales, so
the story runs, weighed two hundred pounds
over that registered by the Meeker scales,
and now Barney is determined to recover his
. pay for this overplusl This is harder to be-
lieve than theaverage fish story.

The Coming Election.
The Borough Registrars are now at work
making up the Registry Lists for the ap-
proaching Borough Election. This list will
be posted in the Post Ofilce next Monday for
public inspection. . As the Borough Election
Laws are somewhat different from the State
laws, it behooves every voter to personally
examine the list and see that his name has
not been omitted, for the Inspectors of Elec-
tion have no power to correct clerical errors
or add names on Election day. If it is de-
sired to add or take off names, such names
must be reported to the Borough Clerk before
Monday evening preceding the day of elec-
tion, the 28th inst.
More Railroad Stories.
The air is still thick with new railroad
rumors. The statementspublished by us
last week, were generallyjcurrent throughout
the State. We cautioned our readers to the
extent of giving them {as mere rumors and
just as we expected, and just as may usually
be relied upon,—more than half of these
railroad stories are canards. It was fact,how-
ever, that our Mayor Jas. W. Hyatt was
elected President in place of Mr. Flower,
(since elected to Congress) and that the
President and some of the Directors of
the New York and New Haven did
put in an appearance at Daubury.
It is true, also, that the New England road
has taken ofi? its direct train to New York,
which ran in competition with the Danbury
db Norwalk road and that more friendly re-
lations are anticipated although that road has
expressed no desire to lease the Danbury and
have not connected tracks with it.
As the Danbury railroad is doing a good
business, and is a paying institution with
good prospects ahead, we presume the stock-
holders will not jump at the first chance to
lease the road. The road is already chartered
to the Sound, and if the stockholders can
“see money in it” they will sooner or later
extend their road and:carry out the old, old
plan of connecting wlth steamers to New
York.
Again we admonish our readers to believe
not more than half they see and not a tenth
part of what they hear anent these new rail-
road schemes

It is not too early to warn Republican vot-
ers not to commit themselves to the support
of the democratic candidates for Borough
Burgesses, The Borough is Republican and
the Republicans propose to control it here-
after. Let every republican voter assist in
making good nominations, and then stand by
them. ‘

A young man named Martin Hough was
found dead Sunday morning near the second
railroad bridge out from the depot at Daubury.
He had a contusion on his forehead and back
of the head, but no other marks on his per-
son. He was aged eighteen and an appren-
tice to the batting trade at Bethel. He was
accompanied by a companion who says he
was hit by the bridge while endeavoring to
steal a ride from Bethel to Daubury, Satur—
day night. His hat and one shoe could not
be found and there are other suspicious cir-
cumstances surrounding the case.
#
The steamer Adelphi will not make her reg-
ular trips on Thanksgiving, November 24th,
therefore, there will be no boat either to or
from New York on that day. She will leave
South Norwalk next morning, Nov. 25th for
New York and then lay up for the season.
So hurry up all you that wish to avail your-
selves of the benefit of the cheap fare to
New York. Your last chance for this season
is near at hand. Remember excursion
tickets to New York and return, including
admission to the great American Institute
Fair are only sixty cents.
Insanity is spreading. A man named J.
Howard Wells was arrested in New York for
attempting to extort money from Jay Gould.
He wrote letters very much in the style of
Guiteau, and said that he was requested by
the All Living God to shoot Gould as a “pub-
lic necessity." He is a man of education,
respectably connected, and thought to be
wealthy.
Was a political party ever more demoral-
ized than the Norwalk Democracy. Scores
upon scores of their voters when hauled to
the poles in Dann’s best hacks boldly and
defiantly voted the Republican ticket. Hith-
erto, the Norwalk Democracy has felt secure
in the slavish obedience of their Irish vote,
but it has finally come to pass that Pat has a
mind of his own and is not to be driven by
the crack of the lash of any party “boss,”
nor is he to be bought by a bad segar or glass
of worse liquor.
The case of Dr. W. H. Trowbridge, of
Stamford, came up in the Superior Court,
last Wednesday morning. The counsel on
both sides were ready to go on with the case,
but the Doctor was absent, and his absence
could not be explained. He was telegraphed
for, and the Court waited over the arrival of
two trains from the west, when the bonds
were called and the court adjourned until the
let inst. In the afternoon the Doctor ar-
rived, claiming that he had misunderstood
the time set for the opening of the Court.
It was an unfortunate misunderstanding, to
say the least. The case will probably be re—
opened on the 2lst, and then adjourned to
the February term.
The average Norwalk Democrat, us he
crawled out last Tuesday morning for his
accustomed “sunrise gum-tiekler,” shot up
his ea’rs to the altitude of the tail of the pro-
verbial steer on breaking into the out patch.
It was raining, and a wet day was a harbin-
ger of a democratic victory. But it makes a
wonderful difference who organizes demo-
cratic victories around here. They do say
“ The Little Boss kinder 0’ lost interest” in
the senatorial and up-town representative
fight. Wasn’t invited on deck, so had no
sail out during Tuesday’s sweeping gale.
Size hundred and nineteen for Baker, and four
hundred for Cowles, isn’t quite so large a
majority as we should have had on a fair
day, but then it was very wet, and wasn’t a
very good day for Republican majorities
anyway. Had the skies been bright there’s
no telling where our majorities would have
run up to. Well, it simply goes to show the
wisdom of political parties putting up their
strongest and best men for candidates.
The Court of" Common Pleas met in Dan-
bury, Monday, and immediately adjourned
until Monday, the the 28th inst,—Danbury
News.
Of course it did. It always meets and
adjourns. Is it ever expected to do anything
else ?
More Improvement.
Miss Julia Lockwood has given a new and
beautiful outside coating and coloring to her
ancestral homestead. Beach was the artist
who mixed the tastily tinted pigments and
wielded the brush, and now the stately edi-
fice looks as bright and cheery as Shaka-
pcurc’s “Schoolboy with shining, morning
face." Let the good work of village im-
provements and homestead adornments go
on. Next. .
The democrats can now plainly see that
had they nominated for senator the Hon. Asa
Smith, (who was clearly entitled to the nom-
ination) ex-Mayor Morison, Wm. Hands,
Mayor Hyatt, or any leader of the party
known to favor the Parallel Railroad they
would at least have saved the candidate the
mortification of being slaughtered in the
house of his friends. There are nearly a
half dozen democrats here in' Norwalk we
could name, who would at. least have kept up
to their full party vote.

adjoining it a very comfortable parlor, car-

At St. Paul’s.
On Sunday evening last this church was
fairly packed with people gathered to listen
to Rt.-Rev. Bishop Williams. The Rector
and his assistant and two other clergymen
were present. After the sermon the Bishop
administered the rite of confirmation to six-
teen persons.
The long-suffering residents of the Broad
River'District complain of the delay in filling
in the approaches to the new stone bridge on
the New Canaan road. They also urge that
instead of filling. in with loam, that cobble
stones, which are so plenty in that vicinity,
be used, and covered with gravel. Hurry up
the bridge, Messrs. Burgesses, and-oblige the
people.
Accident.
Sunday evening, Miss Florence, the daugh-
ter of Cashier A. Thompson of Flax Hill,
was an attendant upon the evening services
at the 2nd M. E. Church. At its close, so-
companied by Rev. H. E. Wing and her
aunt, Minerva Nash, she went into the Par-
sonage to await the 8:40 horse ear to South
Norwalk. As the party passed to the car on
its arrival in front of the Pastor’s residence,
a horse and buggy rapidly driven struck
Miss Florence full force, the horse knocking
her down, and the wheels of the buggy pass-
ing over. She was lifted up and taken back
into the Parsonage and found to be quite sc-
riously contused. A carriage was procured
and she was conveyed home, and Dr. Hitch-
cock sent for, who treated her bruises. The
man who so carelessly drove into the party,
stopped his horse and came back to learn the
extent of the injury the lady had sustained,
but drove away without any one learning his
name or residence. As be indicated his
gentlemanly instincts by stopping and return-
ing, it is to be hoped he will still further
prove his title to gentility by furnishing his
name to the young lady’s father, Mr. _A.
Thompson, South Norwalk.
Runaway.
Policeman Foster’s truck horse became
frightened down Water street, Monday fore-
noon, and tore up to Wall street at a mad-
deued pace where he collided with A. J.
Crofut’s buck board, demoralizing that
springy vehicle and throwing out Rev. Mr.
Taylor and Mr. Crofut’s son James, who was
driving at the time.’ The frightened horse
then tore around Smith's pottery and disen-
gaging himself from the broken truck wagon,
ran down to the propeller wharf where he
was secured and brought to his senses. The
wagon is badly damaged but the horse escapx
ed without serious injuries. Upon the whole
it was a pretty fortunate runaway.
The annual inspection of the Borough Fire
Department took place on the Green, on
Wednesday evening last. Owing to the rain
storm which prevailed the greater part of
the day the turnout was not as large as it
would otherwise ghave been, It however,
was satisfactory. The steamer took suction
from a hydrant in front of the residence of
Mr. F.Belden when two lines of hose were
led out upon the green and heavy streams of
water were forced through and out to a great
distance. The Fire Police formed a cordon
around the steamer and thus kept the crowd
back and out of the way of the firemen. The
hose and apparatus were found to be in good
condition,
Benighted Newtown wakes up and arises
to a glorious Republican :regeneration. She
joins little, patriotic, Easton in returning a

“y.”
We agree with the Gazette, and would sug-
gest that the “would be managers" of the
Democracy of the Borough submit to the bet-
ter judgement of Mr. Hyatt the management
of the party if they wish to have success. If
the young board of burgesses are ever in need
of an “organ” again it will be well for them
to consult Mr. Hyatt before they vote-
———Sentirlel.
Yes, but the “young board of burgesses”
say, that it is just here where they got ship-
wrecked on their “Organ.” They did consult
Mr. Hyatt they say, and followed his advice,
but for some mischievious purpose or other,
he led them right into a trap! The innocents
can’t understand it but frankly admit that
Hyatt‘s “ management” was the rock on
which they have split, as he got them into
their awful muss in their "Organ” business.”

A BURGLAR RAID.
_—
GREAT EXCITEMEN ’1‘.
THE POLICE CALLED OUT—THE AUTHORITIES
WIDE AWAKE—N0 DAMAGE DONE.
Saturday night our citizens were greatly
astonished and mystified by the appearance
on our streets of the entire force of special
policeman, comprising, as regards numbers,
about the whole of the democratic party as
shown by the late election.
By'persistcnt enquiry it finally leaked out
that our Borough authorities had got wind of
a stupenduous new move recently perfected
and now to be put into operation by the bur-
glar profession. It was nothing less than a
vast consolidation and combination of the
profession, probably suggested by the recent
great efiorts and success thereof of the great
showmen of the country, with one great and
monstrous traveling company, by which lht y
could in one or two nights go oompletlely
through all the desirable houses and places
in a country town, instead of as heretofore
being obliged to make a selection of only
three or four to operate on, and nineteen had
been sported in our midst by our Watchful
officials.
Some of our old fogy sort of people were
inclined to laugh at the matter, saying that
burglars were never known to travel in large
companies, they were too shrewd to let many
into their confidence, and too sharp to adver-
tise their movements by going in large
bodies, &c., &c. But they were contemptu-
ously laughed down as scoffers, too smart,
&0. True, some three or four were picked
up early for drunkenness and lodged in the
lock-up by our vigilant police, at which the
scoffers laughed and asked, “Whoever heard
of professionals getting drunk when off
on a raid,” but they only showed their
ignorance, for, verily was it not a wise
and crafty piece of strategy, for they of
course were picked men, selected for the
emergency, who by feigning drunkenness
and being shut up were thus put in posses-
sion of the lock-up, where ,if by any mis-
chance any of their number should be caught
in his night’s operations and locked up
therein, they could manage to pick the locks
and let their brethren go free. Yea, verily
it was a great and well organized band, he-
side which the greatest, biggest and largest
show on earth was but a mere pigmy.
Some of the scoffers were base enough to
insinuate that the near approach of the Bor-
ough election had something to do with the
putting on of such a large force of extra
men,and thought it too bad that the Borough
treasury should have to pay any one’s elec-
tioneering expenses, but then they were
ignoramuses and knew not of what they
were talking. The facts are that an unusu-
ally large body of tramps made their ap-
pearance in town, Friday, at the Water street
trampery, and our police authorities thought
best to have a strong body of police ready
for business as a preventive; and to allay the
fears of nervous citizens.
We do not learn as any places were entered
by any of these gentry on either Saturday or
Sunday night, and long ere this they are
probably far away to other fields and pastures
new.
German Service.
The usual monthly Vesper service, with
sermon in the German language, will be held
at Trinity Church, South Norwalk, on next

O
Fraternal {Courtesiem
On Wednesday evening last, after the in-
spection of the Fire Department, the Fire
Police escorted the Chief Engineer and Assist-
ants, and the Foremen and Assistants of
Phoenix Engine Company, Pioneer Hook &
Ladder Company and Hope Hose Company,
to the Adams House, where a supper was
served in a manner creditable to the Adams
Brothers. After supper several very pleasing
speeches were made, and reminiscenses of
old times in the department indulged in.
The company broke up with cheers for the
Norwalk Fire Department. The affair
throughout passed off pleasantly and was
well calculated to increase the harmony and
good will between the various companies of
the department, and the Police only regret
that they were unable to entertain evéry
member of the department- as their guests.
2d M. E. Church.
There will be a special sermon next Sun-
day evening and special music. The subject
of the Rec. Mr. Wing’s discourse will be the
“Prodigal Son.”
Amusements.
The great trage'dienne,Madame J anauschek
appears at the Opera House, to-night, as the
Countess, in the play of Mother and Son."
The sale of seats warrants the expectation
that the distinguished actress will be greeted
by a large and fashionable audience. The
Cleveland Plaindealer has the following allu-
sions to a recent performance in that city :—
“Mother and Son,” with Madame Janau-
schek in the role of “Countess of Mansfield,"
attracted an audience to this house last even-
ing which completely filled it. There can
be but little question that it was the most
satisfactory performance, in every respect,
which this company have favored us with
during their engagement. The role which
Madame Janauschek assumed was but a light
.taSk for this talented lady, but her lines were
delivered with exquisite finish and feeling,
and her acting was, as usual, almost above
criticism. The support appeared to much
better advantage than at any time during the
week. The evening will long be remembered
by every one present as an exceedingly en-
joyable and profitable one.
On Friday evening next Mr. Walter J.
Hall’s Recital takes place at the Opera House.
Lovers of good piano Music will be sure to
attend. To give variety to the programme,
Mrs. Clarence Swan will sing. As she is of
Norwalk birth she needs no commendation
A Bridgeportipaper publishes the following
notice in relation to One of Mr. Hall’s Recitals
in that city:
The programme for Mr. Walter J. Hall's
matinee recital on Saturday is to be unusual-
ly rich and varied, including selections from
Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Schuman, Silas,
Leschitisyki, and fine compositions of that
charming writer of the modern romantic
school Chopin, and closing with two brilliant
transcriptions of the king of all pianists,
Franz Lizst.
At Music Hall, next Monday Evening,
“Our Goblins" will be produced by Mitchell’s
Pleasure Party. This is a Musical Comedy
which has met with success in New York and
other large cities. Thisiextravaganza is rep-
resented to be full of'fun and melody and yet
entirely unobjectionable in costume and
spirit. New scenery is offered as an addi-
tional attraction. The N. Y. Evening Post
says of it :—“-Our Goblins” at Haverley’s
Theatre has proved a great success. It is
one of the brightest, wittiest, and .cleverest
performances of its kind ever given here.

Correspondence.
The Scramble for the Dead.
This heading certainly has not a cheerful
look, but under the circumstances it is as
appropriate as any we can give, as we pro-
pose to say a few words with reference to
justice inquests, as practiced under our state
laws. Our Legislature in their wisdom,
have enacted certain laws, which are to be
enforced when death occurs from other than
natural causes, to any person within the
.state. These laws are applicable to all por-
tions of the state except in some of the cities,
(not all) where special provision is made for
coroners, who are appointed by the ofiicials
of such city, or elected by the voters thereof
as their charters may direct. It is with ref-
erence to the law as it applies to towns or
cities, Without special laws authorizing coro-
ners. that we wish to call the attention of our
readers,
These laws constitute Justices of the Peace
the only competent authority to hold inquests
and prescribe their duties, and allow certain
fees for the justices and jurors, according to
time served, and distance traveled, in bold-
ing such inquests.
.In our large towns we have a score or more
of justices, many of whom are anxious for
public business, and in those towns lying on
the Sound, and "on lines of great railroad
thoroughfares. where in consequence of the
persistent use of the tracks by pedestrians,
and the accidents caused by boating, the calls
for inquests in consequence of such acci-
dental deaths arc numerous, the scramble
on the part of the justices and would-be
jurors to he the first to reach the unfortunate
victim or victims, has become chronic, and
the effort to make good time in the race, is
often ludicrous, and always humiliating. It
is reported that in some of the :shore towns
where the bodies of the victims of water so-
cidents, or suicide, are often thrown on the
coast, or on the shores of adjacent islands,
that the fleetest of boats with trained crews
are always ready, and do start for the indi-
cated point where an unfortunate has been
discovered, and that the speed made on such
occasions would put to blush the racing crews
of Yale and Harvard. '
In one instance at least, within the mem-
ory of most of our readers, where the victims
were several in number, but all from _onc
accident, dual inquests were held, and it was
a mercy to the tax payers of the town that
the number was not quadrupled, as it was
feared at the time it would be.
Now we ask cannot the legislature at its
coming session, give the larger towns a. spe-
cial law, which will authorize the election
by the town of two or three coroners, each
having a district to be prescribed by the town
in which he shall only be eligible to hold
inquests, except, in consequence of the ab-
senSe or inability of either of‘ thc coroners,
when he might act in their stead.
We trust that some one or more of the
representatives from the towns where such
scenes occur, will take the matter in hand
and obtain legislation that will stop this
scramble for the dead. * *

The Daubury News prints the following
concerning the Danbury and Norwalk and
New York, New Haven and Hartford road:
President Watrous, Charles L. Clark, general
manager, and Directors Bishop, Wheeler
and Trowbridge of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railway, were in town
last week inspecting the Daubury and Nor-
walk railway wilh a view to leasing it. As
the latter road is one of the best feeders the
New Haven road has, in proportion to its
length, and in view of the fact that the Dan-
bury and Norwalk road contemplate extend-
ing their track to Wilson’s Point, on the
Sound, and running a line of boats to New
York the year round, whereby the New
Haven road would lose the freight traffic, it
is quite evident that President Watrous is
anxious to obtain control of it.

Rice & Haulenbeek have taken the Weeks’

the way of fancy wood manufacture human
ingenuity can devise. Blacking cases, com-
modes, baby carriages, cottage steps, lap
boards, boot jacks, cabinets, scroll works,
fancy brackets, picture frames, &c. &c.
These goods are mainly of their own manu-
facture and~are much better made than the
usual slop work sold at 25 and 95 cent stores.
This is a most deserving local, manufactur-
ing interest, and we are sure our citizens will
take pride and pleasure in giving it a liberal
support, as the goods offered are all sensible
and useful and just the things wanted in
every family and the best things that sensi-
ble people can select for holiday gifts.

European newspapers are having much
to say of late of the possibility of American
wheat being eventually driven out of the
markets .of Europe by grain from Tunis.
Laud, it is said, can be bought in Tunis for
half the price it costs in the western states
of the American Union, and it is so fertile
that it will yield two crops in the year. The
quality of the grain, moreover, is equal to
that of the much-prized Hungarian wheat.
Excellent horses, though of a lighter breed,
can be bdught for a fraction of the cost of
horses in the United States, and draught
oxen for less than one-half the American
price. The cost of transportation is also
much less. Northern Africa may yet be-
come a formidable rival to American far-
more.

President's Proclamation.
Wasnmdrou, November 7.—The follow-

ment of state to-day :
A rnoomnarrou.
By the President of the United States of
America.
It has long been a pious custom of our
people with the closing of the year to look
upon the blessings brought to them in the
changing course of seasons, and to return
solemn thanks to the All Giving Source from
whom they flow, and although at this period
when the falling leaf admonishcs us that the
time of our sacred duty is at hand, our
nation still lies in the shadow of a great
bereavement, and the mourning which has
filled our hearts still finds its sorrowful ex-
pression toward God, before whom we but
lately bowed in grief and supplication ;
the countless benefits which have been show-
ered upon us during the past twelve months
call for our fervent gratitude and make it
fitting that we should rejoice with thankful-
ncss that the Lord in His infinite mercy
has most aignally favored our country and
our people. Peace without and prosperity
Within have been vouchsafcd to us. No
pestilence has visited our shores. The
abundant privileges of freedom which our
fathers left us in their wisdom are still our
increasing heritage, and if in parts of our
vast domain some aflliction has visited our
brethren in their forest homes, yet even this
calamity has been tempered and in a manner
sanctified by the generous compassion for the
sufferers which has been called forth through
our land. For all these things it is meet that
the voice of the nation should go up to God
in devout homage.
Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur, president
of the United States, do recommend that all
the people observe Thursday, the 24th day
of November instant as a day of national
thanksgiving and prayer by ceasing so far as
may be from their secular labors, and meeting
in their several places of worship there to
join in ascribing honor and praise to Al-
mighty God, whose goodness has been so
manifest in our history and in our lives, and
offering earnest prayers that his bounties
may continue to us and to our children.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. .
Done at the city of Washington this fourth
day of November, in the year of our Lord
one thousand and eight hundred and eighty-
one and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and sixth.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
By the president :
James G. BLAINE, Secretary of State.

By His Excellency the Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.
Once more the hand of Providence has
crowned the year with goodness. The gen-
erous soil, stirred by an enlightened agricul-
ture, has brought forth its fruits abundantly,
and our barns and granaries are full. Our
cities and villages have been made cheerful
with the incessant din of manufacture; bur
streets and lines of travel have been thronged
with the noisy cars of an immense traffic, and
industry of every kind has received ample
reward.
Our institutions of education, religion and
benevolence have lifted our people to a
higher level of intelligence, virtue and hop.
piness. No pestilence walking in darkness
has desolated ourdwellings; no grim-visaged
war has invaded our borders,or beckoned the
grav: and strong among us to distant fields of
eat .
The shadow of a great national grief has
fallen darkly upon us, but from it we have
emerged into a closer national union and
kindlier and friendlier relations with the
nations of the earth. Such blessings call for
special recognition.
I do therefore, in accordance with the ven-
erable usage of this Commonwealth, hereby
appoint Thursday, the twenty—fourth day of
this present month, a day of public thanks-
giving and praise to Almighty God, and I
invite the people of this Commonwealth, on
that day, to lay aside their usual occupations
and to unite in their homes and places of
worship, in manifestations of gratitude and
joy, and in partaking of the pleasures. and
deepening the influences, of religion, home
and charity. Gathered around our well-filled
boards, let us not forget to send portions to
those for whom nothing is prepared; and re-
member with chastened spirits those who
gather with us no more, let us solace and
strengthen our hearts with the Divine hope
of gladdcr reunions in our Father’s House in
the better country.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
AJcA State, at the Capitol in Hartford,
( ) this eighth day of November. in
’ L. s. k the year of our Lord, one thou-
}, sand, eight hundred and eighty-
~I- one, and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and sixth.

ate $200 from the treasury, to be divided in-
to 30 prizes for the company’s annual target-
match, the highest to be $25 and the lowest
$2.50. The problem is to apportion the

Another Miracal Performed by
Dr. Fiske.
A wonderful and speedy cure of Mrs. Farm. of
Waterbury, Ct., by the laying on of hands,
through the mediumistic pop or of Dr. Fiske,‘
In consideration of whom it may concern, I
hereby certify this testimonial asa true sworn
statement of the facts concerning my cure, made
by S. W. Fiske, clairvoyant Physician of Nor-
wich, and office at 270 Chapel street, New Haven.
I hereby certify that I have been sick—unable
to work for the past ten years. During all of this
time I have been treated by several physicians
without any permanent benefit. After giving up
all hopes of recovery, I received a letter from a.
lady in Bridgeport stating what a wonderful euro
Dr. Fiske had made for her; advising me to ap-
ply to him for relief, as she thought her difficul-
ties were similar to mine. I called on the Doctor
and found him to be a congenial gentleman, and
requested him to moire u clairvoyant examina-
tion of my health, which he did fully.expluinjng
all of my diseases at sight to my entire satisfacé
tion. I had a complication of diseases about me
-—almost cyerything alled me—which made my
life very miserable.
I had a paralyzed threat for several vcars.
which was so badthat I could not swallow any-
thing bnt liquids, and. sometimes I would be fif-
teenlminutes swallowmg one tcaspoonful. It was
almost lmposeible to swallow anything my threat
was so paralyzed, It seemed sometimes as if I
should starve.
In less than fifteen minutes after the Doctor
laid his hands on my throat I drank half a turn-
bler of water to the astonishment of myself and
husband. I then put myself under his new method
of treatment which was entirely new to me. I
had a cough of ten years’ standing which disap-
cared in three days. I was so bloated wrth water
in my system that I was hardly able to walk.
After taking four magnetic treatments and one
month’s medicine,I found to my surpriseI had
removed twenty pounds of bloat and water,
whlch leaves me now my natural size and weight.
For several years 1 was completely prostrated
With nervous weakness, which caused me a great
deal of pain and suffering in my bowels and back.
After five minutes treatment I was entirelv
cured and free from pain, and have not heeii
troubled since with this difficulty. I was also
cured of enlargement of the liver, my kidnc a
had pained me for a long time, my feet and limhs
were bloated. also week and nervous so that it
was impossible for-me to keep my feet still.fli
(12101111: not read, if I did it would go directly to my
ear .
I am now permanently cured of all those dis-
eases and I now feel like a. new person in every
form.full of life and vigor. I cannot find lan-
gauge to express my gratitude to the Doctor for
the astonishing cure he has made for me in only
a few weeks time.
Throw a true sworn statement which I freely
give for the benefit of suffering humanity. 1 ud-
vlse all those who are afflicted to consult the Doc-
tor at once and receive his valuable treatments
and medicines.
