Thanksgiving‘ Day.
This time-honored festival of the home
and family recurs on Thursday. To make
the day one of genuine enjoyment and profit,
one and all should resolve to do something,
be it ever so little, that shall promote the
happiness of some less favored of the Father
of us all. Let no one of God‘s poor on that
day fail of receiving from those whom for-
tune has blessed with abundance, at least a
nourishing meal. The “ poor ye have al-
ways with you, and when ye will ye may do
them good,” were the words of the Divine
Saviour of men. Especially on this chief
festival of the New England fireside, may
the social virtues of benevolence, kindness
and sympathy for all mankind, hallow and
'bless the sweet family and friendly reunions
of the coming Thanksgiving day.

Thanksgiving Services.
Union services will be held on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, in the First Congregational church,
at 10% o’clock, a. m. Rev. Mr. Hamilton
will preach the sermon.
Examine‘ the List.
The new voting list of the Borough, has
been posted in the Post Ofiice for public in-
spection. Let every voter see that his own
name is correctly entered on the list. The
list is made up by the Registrars and furnish-
ed hy them to the Inspectors of Election who
have no power to make corrections. If your
name should be left off you cannot vote.
“ Warn of Confidence.”
In European Governments, when the peo-
ple get tired of and disgusted with their 10-
cal rulers they vote what they call “ a want
of confidence.” This is precisely what the
voters of this Borough propose to do a week
from next Monday. If there are any little,
ambitious democratic candidates, who can’t
weather the liveliest gale they were ever
caught out in, then the safe thing to do is to
“ take to do woods.” We give them timely
warning.
Another attempt was made on Saturday to
kill Guiteau and take him out of the hands
of the law. While being conducted back to
prison in a van, he was shot at by a man on
horseback. The ball tore his coat and shirt
and made a slight abrasion on his arm. The
assailant is said to have looked like a country
person. He escaped at the time, but subse-
quently a “crank" heretofore supposed to be
harmless, was arrested charged with the act.
It is by no means certain that he is the man,
however.
As the democratic managers have seen the
handwriting on the wall, and despair of suc-
cess at the coming Borough c1cction,thcy now
want to “ do away with politics” in the
Borough and nominate a “ citizen's ticket.”
This simply means that they want to save all
they can from the wreck. Another little
plan is to encourage Republican voters to
“ scratch their ticket ” thus-hoping to run in
It
was ever thus. When they succeed in carry-
ing an election every Black Republican
” must get up and get." When the chances
are against them, as now, they think it is all
wrong to bring party into a Borough election
and beg an equal division of the ofiices.
Last year, although the republicans polled
the most votes, they secured the Warden
and five out of six Burgesses, simply because
enough Republican voters yielded to their
button-hole candidates and scratched their
ticket. Soon as these “clever fellows " were
elected as “ non-partisans ” they immediate»
ly banded together as “Democrats,” turned
out the long-tried clerk for the sole reason
that he was a “ Republican,” selected a
" Bourbon democratic paper ” as the Bor-
ough Organ, and in fact became the most in-
tensely partisan " Warden and Burgesses”
the Borough of Norwalk has ever known.
The Telephone Company.
A meeting of the stockholders of the Stem-
ford and Norwalk Telephone Company is to
be held at Stamford this (Monday) exening
to consider the proposition made by the Con-
necticut Telephone Company. The latter
company proposes to gain possession of the
former by the purchase of all, or the greater
portion of its capital stock, and ofiers a good
round price for the same. It is believed that
the stockholders generally will accept the
offer, and that the sale will be consummated
to-night. The present company will still re-
main in existence, it the sale is made, but a
new Board of Directors will probably be
chosen in the interest of the Connecticut
company. This company already owns the
lines in all the principal cities of the State,
including Bridge-p at, and if this sale should
be completed, N grwa‘rn and Stamford would
undoubtedly be pl rc-‘d in telephone connec-
tion with lhos-. cities, Otherwise there will
probably be no (-sscllllul change.

Hon. Samuel Warner gives us the follow-
ing characteristic aneédote of his aged mother.
The venerable and worthy lady is now in
her eighty-third year, yet she insists in su-
perintending and conducting all the affairs
of her house. Recently she has been seri-
ously affected by rheumatism. A short time
since her son called upon the old lady, when
she remarked impatiently—“ It does seem as
if I am never going to be. good for anything
again.” ,
A New York Congressman got off the fol-
lowing “ good one ” on President Arthur
during the recent special session of the Sea-
ate. He had been over to Senator J ones’s
house to see the President for a constituent
specially interested in a post ofiice appoint-
ment at home. The constituent remained at
the Senate till his Member returned. “What
did General Arthur say about my appoint-
ment?” was the first question of the impa-
tient candidate. “ Well," said M. 0., “ he
didn’t say much of anything.” f‘ Well,
what impression did you get from his man-
ner and words,” still questioned the constitu-
ent. “ I can't say that I got any definite im-
pression from my interview.” " Well, for
God’s sake do tell me what he did my I ” vo-
ciferated the now thoroughly aroused con-
stituent. “ Why, my dear friend, compared
with Chester A. Arthur, General Grant is
garrulous.” *

This is about the state of mind of the
average Borough democrat as he contemplates
the coming Borough election. They com-
prehend that the Republicans have started
out to win this time and there will be no
mistake about it either.

Moro Railroad Rumors.
The New Haven Palladium of Friday,puts
afloat the following:
“The surveyors at work running a line for
Vanderbilt’s new road from New York to
Boston, have reached Derby. The line will
be a direct air line regardless of obstacles,
and passes through Derby just above the
dam. The engineer has said that if too
much deviation from a straight line was not
required to reach Ansonia such a deviation
might be made. Continuing in a south-
eastcrly direction the line passes half a mile
due east of Seymour, crossing under the
New Haven and Seymour turnpike and
heading for Mt. Carmel, whence it contin-
ues straight for Middletown. The engi-
neers claim that forty miles will be saved
between New York and Boston, and that _a
good line from New York to the Housatonlc
has with grades in no other place exceeded
sixty feet. The engineer taking the levels
had not arrived at Derby yesterday. It was
thought he would be somewhat surprised at
the grade necessary to reach the Houston-
ic. One Sunday recently err-President Bish-
op was in conference with ex-scuator Bar-
num at Salisbury, a special train being run
to accommodate him. Knowing ones pre-
dict a lively railroad war in the next legisla-
ture.”
“Secretary Harrison, of the New Haven
and Derby Railroad, says there is no truth in
the rumor that the road will consolidate with
the new Parallel road.”
Sunday’s New York Tribune furnishes the
following:
“TWO 'rnaoxs TO BE ADDED."
The New York and New Haven Railroad
Company has decided to add two tracks to its
road between this city and Stamford, Connec-
ticut, making four tracks in all. Work will
begin at once.
The Tribune no doubt might have truth-
fully continued the four track route from the
Harlem River Junction to New Haven, as it
is clearly apparent that the enormous increase
of freight on their road, long since set it at
work running its many sidings into two
continuous extra tracks. With the Parallel
built and fully equipped, there would still be
abundant use for full four tracks over the
New York and New Haven Railroad.
The statement is made that the Connecti-
cut Rivcr Valley Road has in contemplation
the erection of suitable’docks at Saybrook,
and will run a line of freight and passenger
steamers to New York, from the terminus
of their road at the mouth of Connecticut
River. This is necessitated in order to ac-
commodate their growing New York freight
business
The New London and Northern and Nor-
wich and Worcester Railroads, many years
since made a steamer connection to New
York from the ends of their roads at New
London, and have found the same not only
necessary but a most Zprofitable part of their
business. Recently a new magnificent pass-
enger steamer has been put on this route at a
cost of over a half million.
The old Boston and Providence Line has
purchased the Providence Line of freight
propellers and sent them around to Stoning-
ton, from whence they run, in connection
with their great passenger steamers, to and
from New York.
Our little Daubury and Norwalk Railroad
finding itself confronted with serious freight
competition, proposes to extend its track
down to either Wilson's Point or Five Mile
River harbor, (as the surveys and charges
for right of way shall make preferable), and
from tide-water, carry its freight, and such
passengers as prefer a water excursion, to
New York in swift-going steamers. Thus
following out the plan of all the eastern
railroads, and its own original plan of water
terminus and and steamer facilities for its
slow freight and passengers. Even the Con-
solidatedjutilizcs steamer from New Haven
and :Bridgeport as do the Naugatuck and
Housatonic Railroads. ‘
Surveys have been run for the Danbnry
extension along the west side of the New
Haven track to a point near Seymour’s nur-
sery where it cuts under the Consolidated
track and passes south-easterly towards Wil-
son's Point and Bell’s Island. If the latter
spot is determined upon as a terminus a heavy
stone dock and breakwater combined will
have to be constructed on the east side ex-
tending out in a line toward's Smith's Island
for the landing of their boats at all stages of
the tide and all conditions of weather. It is
said that the Iron Steamboat Company are
willing to contract for the conveyance of
passengers to and from New York to this
point in two hours, in all ordinary states of
the weather. . '
Our local agents of the “ Parallel " con-
tinue to “ look wise and say nothing.” In
response to our eaanest entreaties for inform-
ation to lay before the public, the only thing
we can extort from them is the usual “hish”
—and “ just wait a little and you will see
something that will astonish all unbelievers.”
From the Palladium’s sources of informa-
tion it would seem that, the Vanderbilt inter-
ests are intent upon an air line from New
York to Boston, independent of all existing
or hitherto projected railroad interests. We
shall probably very soon “ see what we shall
see,” and if our faith be weak our hopes are
unusually strong.
DANBURY a NORWALK RAILROAD nxrsxsron.
The survey for the contemplated extension
of the Danbury 8; Norwalk railroad to the
Sound, is now being made under the direc-
tion of E. Geo. Ferris, Esq, of Watertown,
N. Y., and we are informed that the line, as
fa as run, is unexpectedly favorable, and
that the heaviest work is a short cutting of
ten feet in depth. near the residence of Mr.
Burbank. on the west of the highway known
as the Wilson Point road. The point where
the line will terminate on the Sound has not
yet been determined, and it will require some
days yet 'to fix the locations as soundings
must be made so as to secure the best facili-
ities attainable for wharfs, with sufiicient
depth of water for large vessels and a safe
harbor. The object of the company, we are
informed, is to have deep water where coal
and lumber vessels of the largest class can
unload at all seasons of the year, thus saving
such freight to the road instead of driving
them to another port with open harbor and
deeper water. If the extension is made a
large winter business in ice is promised, as
the lakes and pends on the line of the D. &
N. and Shepaug roads produce an ample sup-
ply in the mildest of winters. Merchandise
freights from New York for stations on the
D. & N. road are now nearly all and doabt-
less will continue to be brought by rail, as
they are loaded directly into cars in New
York and are taken to their destination with-
out breaking bulk, which saves much labor
and expense in hauling of such freight. Such
a wharf as is contemplated, where the steam-
boats can land their passengers for the road
with regularity, (which they cannot do at
the present landing at low tide), will stop
the annoyance that passengers that come by
rail to take the Danbury trains have long
been subjected to at South Norwalk, and we
think this fact alone would justify the build-
ing of the extension. We hope that all
things will be found favorable, that the ex-
tension will be made, and that the company
may benefit thereby.
The Danbury News says :—
President Wilson, of the New York and
New England Railway Company, denies that
his company has leased the Danbury and
Norwalk road. The report may have been
premature, but undoubtedly there have been
negotiations between these roads, andsome
arrangement has been-40MB between them.
Only a few days ago the new president 0f the
Danbury and Norwalk company said that
the road would be extended “R1 Wilson’s
Point, in Norwalk harbor, and by lbgontract
already made with the Iron Steamboat Com-
pany of New York. steamers of that co a-
ny are to connect with the road at Norwa‘llg‘
and land passengers at Fulton Ferry, the \
time from Danbury by this route being two
hours and fifty minutes. President Hyatt
said that this would make a new route to
Bosdton via the New York and New England

admirablv enacted. But the chief charm to
us. of the entire piece, was the sweet and
unaffected acting of Miss Annie Warren
Story. She, as Selma, gave as close and true
a counterfeit of nature as we ever witnessed,
and her recital of her dream, as a piece of
natural, unaffected, yet intense and passion-
ate elocution was simply superb. Miss Story
was formerly a clerk in the U. S. Treasury,
and was then noted for her line elocutionary
powers.
Mr. Hall's piano recital, at the Opera
House, last Friday evening, was attended by
a select and appreciative audience, including
a number of ladies and gentlemen from his
own city, Bridgeport. Mr. Hall and Mrs.
Swan were both enthusiastically applauded,
and had reason to be proud of their recep-
tion in Norwalk.
A musician favors us with the following
brief criticism: Mr. Hall's touch as might be
expected from his Stuttgart training, is very
good, his execution crisp and clear; he plays
in a decided, manly style, without the excess
in the matter of tempo rubato in which so
many indulge. The most enjoyable of his selec~
tions were the Chopin nocturne (in F sharp
major) and Berceuse, the Henselt Etude, (“Si
oiseau j’ etais”) and the Wagner Listz Spin-
ning song. His evident nervousness prevent-
ed his doing full justice to himself,and caused
blemishes which otherwise would not have
existed. We welcome him to a high place
among the musicians of this part of our
Commonwealth, and hope he will not be dis—
couraged at the small number of appreciative
listeners, but that he will persevere until he
shall form a public for himself.
Mrs. Swan sang in her usual winning man-
ner, making her best success in a beautiful
Cradle Song, by Mr. Koch, of Bridgeport,
in response to a recall,—which, in her case,is
a matter of course.
Special Thanksgiving entertainment at the
Opera House, Thanksgiving night, will be

exhibited, interspersed as they are with de-
lineations of the spontanuity and originality
of the Irish character, is not only sure to at-
tract the Celtic portion of our people, whose
national instincts and love of home and home
scenes is ineradicable, but as a panorama of
rare beauty and uncxceptionable merit, com-
mends itself to all, and is sure to attract a
full house.
Theme-Jordan.
Manager Stanley has secured another first-
class company for Saturday evening. The
renowned Emily Jordan, who, on marrying,
left the stage a few years since, has now
returned to her first love and is starring it
with a company equal to that of J anuscheck.
See their announcement elsewhere. The
Bridgeport Morning News thus speaks of a
late appearance in that city :
“All who failed to be present at the opera
House Saturday evening. last an opportunity
of witnessing one of the finest performances
that has been given in this city for some time
and the management deserves a word of praise
for securing such an attraction as the Emily
Jordan combination. The piece was beau-
tifully presented and elegantly dressed. The
costumes worn by Emily Jordan were of the
richest character, and elicited the admiration
of every lady present. We are so accustomed
to the visits of companies in which the lead-
ing lady constitutes the only attraction, that
it is a pleasure to be visited by one of such
strength as this. Every member of the cast
was admirably and especially selected for his
or her fitness for the part assigned. It is
hoped that they will be induced to return to
us again. "
On Tuesday evening of next week a lec-
ture is announced by the Rev. H. H. Bar-
bour, at Music Hall. The lecture is to be

brated Royal Hand-Bell Ringers and Glee
Men, as the promised at he Gough lecture.
They will appear at Music Hall on the 6th of

Obituary.
LEWIS RAYMOND.
For more than fifty years strsRumonn
of Wilton, has been a well-known and con-
spicuous character about Norwalk and Fair-
field county Early in life he developed
sharp business traits and schooled himself in
habits of the closest economy and saving.
He soon secured a considerable amount of
“saved-up money," which he always judu-
ously re-invested so as to have it perpetually
“ drawing interest.” With no special advan-
tages or opportunities for “ making money,"
and living upon and working his sterile Wil-
ton farm, be yet by his rigid self denying and,
saving propensities, amassed quite a monied
fortune. This he never allowed himself to
enjoy to the extent of what most would
deem even moderate indulgence and com—
forts. Nevertheless, Lewis Raymond was,
in all else, save his passionate fondness for
hoarding money. a kind-blamed man He al-
ways had a pleasant word and indulgent smile
for even those who had become hopelessly
his debt )rs. No man was ever more consid-
erate or just with those who owed him and,
were unable to, pay. With all his inherited
and passionate fondness for money, he never
resorted to tricks or deceits to recover his
own. To such debtors as were honestly poor
and unable to pay he was proverbially con-
siderate, and few men or loaning institutions
are as indulgent and kindly patient in wait-
ing upon this class as was he. Indeed. it
might truly be said of him, that he was al-
ways more indulgent to others than to him-
self. He inherited a strong constitution,
with habits of industry, a manly figure and
pleasant twinkle of the eye, that always
made him a marked man wherever he went.
He was a man of strict moral rectitude, and
of him, quite as aptly as of another, might
it be said, “that even his faults leaned to
'virtue’s side." No one is perfect, no, not
one, and what faults he had were the out-
growth of the hard and sterile forces that
surrounded his inherited being. He never
did hn intentional injury or wrong to any
one, and he had no faults that we who sur-
vive him cannot overlook and forget as easi-
ly as the pitying angels forgive us all our
human frailties. Tested by the world’s
standard he was no scholar, but he had good
powers of penetration into motives, and be
thoroughly read men if he did not read
books. He had not genius, but he had indus-
try and problty, and their rewards crowned
his self-denials and endeavors with what to
him was satisfying success. For some time
past he has evidently been falling and ap-
proaching the end of life’s struggles. Sun-
day afternoon last he passed from earth while
sitting in his chair. There was a complica-
tion of diseases that caused him at the last
torturing pain, but calmly and peacefully the
flickering lamp of life went out, and our
friend is now numbered with the dead. Let
his goodness of heart and many virtues be
cherished, while we are admonished and
taught wisdom by his life.
Dr. Nehemiah Perry attended Mr. Ray-
mond during his late fatal illness and previ-
ous to his fatal diseases of cancer of the
stomach and affection of the heart and lung.
The Doctor was enabled, however, to briefly
prolong his life and mitigate his severe suf-
ferings, retaining the patient’s entire confi-
dence to the end.

How to Live on $10 a. Week.
From Food and Health.
A man with $10 a week and another to
support must live at home. If he livesgout
he will get inferior food and become discon-
tented, and those depending on him will
have to go short at home. He should spend
on lodging, $2; on food for two, $5; on
coal, light, dress, 010., $3. Pieces of fried
meat are extravagant; stews, with vege-
tables, are profitable; fish, dressed with
sauce and vegetable, to make meals, is prof-
itable, so are fish pies; good, well thickened
soup, fruit puddings, small piece of roast
for Sunday, with accompanying vegetables
and well-selected pudding. A small piece of
chuck beef roasted and well—covered during
the process with a Yorkshire pudding, a
few parsnips and some baked potatoes; for
desert, some pears stewed. A home-made
cake and a little cold meat, with home pickle
or crosses for tea or supper; these are combi-
nations.

of his voice, “Waiter, fetch the vinegar cru-

to her and said, “Dovey, somebody wants

A Confidence Operator.
Some few weeks ago Dr. Fitch engaged a
young man, about 26 years of age, named J.
C. Chandler, as an assistant teacher in his
school. He had good recommendations, and
claimed to be from Springfield, Mass. Soon
after be commenced his duties at the school
he called on our artist tailor, Cohn, and en-
gaged him to make a business suit for him,
which Cohn did to his satisfaction, and re-
ccived his pay therefor. About two weeks
after, he again called on Cohn and his meas-
ure was taken for a dress suit, and also an
overcoat, with the understanding that he was
a cash customer and the goods were to be
paid for when ready; he was to call in the
course of a few days and try them on. In
about a week Mr. Cohn learned that he had
been discharged by Dr. Fitch just about the
time he left his order for the clothes. Chan-
dler, however, in course of time called, tried
on the suit and set a time to come and get
them. At the appointed time, which was on
Saturday evening, but they were not quite
ready and he had to wait awhile for them,
then taking them up he said he would run up
to his room in the hotel (Adams House) and
try them on. To this Mr. Cohn objected,
saying that he wanted them 'tried on before
,was in town
they were all right, but he could not pay for
them until Monday morning, as his father,
whom he had been expecting up, had not yet
arrived. Mr. Cohn told him he could not let
the goods go until they were paid for, and if
he could not pay then he didn’t see how he
could on Monday morning. Chandler then
pretended among other things that he had a
check on one of the banks from Dr. Fitch;
this Cohn offered to take and pay the cash
balance. But for some reason the fellow de-
murred, and Mr. Cohn, turning to his deskIto
put up some papers, the fellow caught up the
cl )thes and rushed from the shop. Mr.
Cohn, turning, missed the clothes, and im-
mediately put on his hat and coat and started
for the young fellow’s room in the hotel to
interview him, but arriving there he could
not find Chandler or his clothes. He imme-
diately telephoned to South Norwalk, and
hurriedly getting a carriage took in Ofilcer
O'Sullivau and rushed down to the South
Norwalk depot to head off the rascal if he
intended leaving on the cars. His trip was
fruitless, as was also a long drive about and
around town; wasted also was his telegraph
dispatches sent each way. He has not yet
heard or learned a word of or about the fel-
low or his bundle of clothes. The Adams
House was also out a board bill by the sud-
den departurc of Chandler, and we under-
stand that he has duped quite a number in
our village, in different ways.
Take Your Hands out of Your
Pockets.
To begin with, it does not look well, when
a young man crooks his arms and thrusts his
hands into his pockets, making a figure
eight of himself, and then standsup against
the sunny side of the house, likefa master in
December.
How would the girls look all turned into
eights, and leaning against the wall? How
would your mother look in“ that posture?
You. don’t find her hands in her pockets.
Your mother’s hands! while you are loafing
they are the hands that sew, and bake. and
stew, and'fry, and sweep, and darn,and nurse;
but she does not 'sink them in, her pockets,
and then loll against the building.
Are your hands cold 1’ Warm them up at
the end of the hoe-handle and the scythe.
Swing the hammer ; drive the plane; flour-
ish the axe. There is untold caloric about a
spade, a trowel, a wrench.
Besides, pocket-heat is not profitable.
Have you money there 2 Are your pockets
the safes in which you have hidden treasures,
and are your hands the bolts that secure the
safe-door? Money may be there to-day, but
it won’t be a guest over to-morrow night.
An idler’s money is apt to leap out of his
pocket. It is likely to go for a pipe, a cigar,
a tobacco plug, a mug of ale. There is no
money in pocket-warming.
Take your hands out ,of your pockets,
young maul You are losing time. Time
is valuable. People feel it at the other end
of the line, when death is near and eternity
is pressing them into such small quarters,
for the work of this life craves hours, days
weeks, years. If those at the end of the line,
if youth with its abundance of resources,
would only feel that time was precious!
Time Is a quarry. Every hour may be a
nugget of gold. It is time in whose invalu-
able moments we build dur bridges, spike the
ironlrails to the sleepers, launch our ships,
dig our canals, run our:factories. You might
have dug twenty hills of potatoes while I
have been talking to you, young man. Take
your hands out of our pockets.
The world wants those hands. The
world is not dead, asleep under the pyra-
mids, a mummy by the Nile. The world is
alive, wide awake, pushing, strugging, go-
ing' ahead. The world wants those hands
You :needginot take them out of America.
They can find a market here at home. The
country wants those hands, selling dry goods
in New York, cradling wheat at Minnesota,
pressing cotton in Alabama,weaving cloth in
Lowell, picking oranges in Florida, digging
gold in Colorado, catching mackerel from the
deck of a down-east fishing-smack. Take
your hands out of your pockets!
And whatalaudable ,thing it is to meet
the wants of society :and do your best!
When you are an old mangwhat an honora-
ble thing your hand will be!
Did you ever think of the dignity invest-
ing the wrinkled hand of an [old worker?
It has been so useful, lifted so many burdens.
and wrought in such honorable service.
Who wants a hand withoutacharacter when
old age comes on—a soft, flabby, do-nothing
hand?
You are willing to work, you say, but can’t
find anything to do ?
Nothing to do! Do the first thing that
comes along. Saw wood, get in coal, go on
errands. In short, do anything honest with
your hands. but don't let them lost in your
pockets.
A good example of what can be done by a
young man who takes and keeps his “hands
out of his pockets,” was set by one who
graduated a few years ago at Harvard Uni-
versity. Hc determined to become a cotton
manufacturer. Instead of relying upon his
general education, and waiting for an open:
ing, as many of his classmates did, he began
at once to prepare specially for the business
he had chosen by entering a machineshop
as a workman—making full hours, and
acquainting himself with every part of the
machinery of a cotton-mill. From the
machine-shop he went into the cotton-mill,
and by hard work and close attention
rapidly acquired a thorough knowledge of
all the processes of cotton manufacture.
While some of his classmates were waiting
and looking for an opening in business, and
others were with difficulty filling ,subordi-
hate positions, he was rapidly rising step by
step, until he is to-day in charge of one of
the largest cotton mills in New England,
with ample salary, and what is better, is dis
charging the duties of his position with great
satisfaction to the company he serves.
