Editorial Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 3, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :-'—
The chief topic of interest this week has
been the trial of the assassin of our late.
. President. The court room is crowded daily
and long before the hour for convening court
lbng lines, Of people, of all ages and classes,
*- bcsicgc the door clamoring for admission.
The prosperous merchant and the poor street
vagabond jostlc each other unconcerncdly,
while well dressed ladies stand side by side
with the homeless beggar, all caste, rank and
position swallowed up in their anxiety to see
and hear the villian who robbed the earth of
one of God’s noblest men. What lessons
doth this morbid curiosity teach.
The scenes and incidents of the trial have
been varied and numerous. These have been
due in a measure to thc insolence and excita-
bility of the prisoner. During the past week
in particular, since he has been put upon the
stand in his own defence, he has displayed
such an air of hraggadocia as to be almost
amusing. The last four days have been
taken up in the cross-examination of Guitcau
by c'x—Judge Porter of counsel for the prose-
cution. By his skillful questionings he has
cornered the witness on several Occasions,
whose invariable refusal to answer at such
times shows plainly his embarrassment. He
seems to take an especial delight in mimick—
ing Judge Porter’s style of asking questions
and will often repeat the question asked
him,imitating both the inflection and gestures.
Considerable unfavorable comment has been
made on account of judge Cox’s leniency in
allowing the prisoner thus to exhibit himself,
but if the critics who are loudest in their
denunciation would devise some method to
prevent such occurrences and at the same
time to give the assassin a fair trial perhaps
their clamor would be more worthy of no-
tice.
An amusing instance where words and ac-
tions disagree is shown in the prisoner’s
’ daily ride from the prison to the court house.
He claims to be under the protection of the
Deity and that asserts that he feels no fear,
yet since the recent attempt on his life,
when placed in the prison van he throws
himself flat upon the floor and does not move
from that position until‘safe within the walls
Of the jail.
The cross-examination of the prisoner was
concluded yesterday,and unless the examina-
tion of the experts as to his sanity should be
extended longer than is now contemplated,
the trial will probably conclude in about two
weeks.‘ As to the verdict there is consider-
able speculation, but as a leading member Of
the District bar said the other day. “ The
matter has passed the question of the pris-
oner’s sanity and now rests upon his re-
sponsibility,” and judging from Guiteau’s
clear conception of all his acts there cannot
be much doubt on that score.
THE SPEAKERSIIII’.
Political circles have been in a commotion
during the week speculating as to the result
Of the contest carried on for the Speakership
of the House. Hiscock was stongly Opposed
by the Stalwar ts of the New York and Penn—
sylvania delegations. The New York Stal-
wartssaid they would prefer even Kasson
who is a Blaine man to Hiscock who is a so-
called “ Half Breed.” The fight, has been a
bitter one and it is feared will show its effects
in future wranglings. Connecticut’s three
Republican votes were faithfully cast for
Hiscock. The following are the nominees
agreed upon after repeated ballotings :—
For Speaker—J. Warren Keifer, Ohio.
For Clerk—Edward McPherson, Pennsyl-
vania. »
For Sergeant-at-Arms—Geo. W. Hooker,
Vermont.
For Doorkeeper—Walter P. Brownlow,
Tennessee.
For Postmaster—Harry Sherwood, Michi-
gan. - , '
For Chaplain—Rev. Frederick D. Powers,
Washington. ;
coxennss
Convenes Monday and the city is crowded
with Senators and Members. There is con-
siderable excitement annent the changes to
be made in the minor offices of both the
House and Senate.
It is anticipated that the President will
send in to the Senate but one or at most two
cabinet nominations during the coming week.
CHANGES IN THE TREASURY.
. lary Folgcr yesterday appointed Mr.
_ 3. Butler, late United States attorney
10, a special agent of the Treasury
Department for one month, and detailed him
to take charge of the Appointment Bureau,
vice Lamphcrc, whose resignation has been
accepted, to take effect on December 31,
until which date Mr. Lampherc has been
granteda leave of absence. Mr. Lamphere
is a Connecticut man and has served as Ap—
pointmcnt Clerk of the Treasury for several
years. His removal was contemplated by
is said that Lampherc’s removal is due to the
result of the recent Pitney investigation.
Assistant Seerr-tary Upton, of the Treasu-
ry Dcparlmerzl, will resign that position.
His resignation probably will be tendered to
the Secretary the early part of next Week.
As to his successor nobody seems to know
anything definite. ll. was reported again to
day that Mr. Lydccker, of New York, would
be the next first assistant secretary of the
treasury, but Judge Folger said that, although
he knew Mr. Lydeckcr. he knew nothing
about him in cOnneetion with the ofiice.
Tun new nuxTrno'rox n. n.
Another trunk or through line of railway
has been opened between the east and west.
The new route, over which a train passed for
the first time on Wednesday, is from Cincin-
. nati to,Lexington, by-th'e Kentucky Central ;
thence to Huntington, .West Virginia, by the
Elizabethtown and Big Sandy road, and from
that point by the Chesapeake and Ohio road,‘
to Norfolk, where ocean navigation is met.
The new line may not, for the present, at
least, be regarded as a very serious competi-
tor for the business now enjoyed by the four
great routes considered the through freight
carriers, but it is pretty certain to do a good
local trade, in both passengers and freight
from the start. In time, too, the advanta-
ges of a good harbor free from ice in the
winter season and with cheap means of
transfer from cars to vessels, cannot fail to
be recognized by commercial interests, and
then the line just opened may become a com-
petitor of no mean pretensions for the carry-
ing trade of foreign bound products.

The humors of the election would fill a
book.
The Republicans can affofd to pay the
running expenses of the “ Phalanx."
The “ Phalanx Annex " is what they call
that new “Independent” colored dodge.
The colored troupa fought nobly—“ Abe ”
and “Chcs”—smokcd their cigars in despair.
while the colored voters generally resented
the imputation of being bought up by voting
the Republican ticket straight. The Pha-
lanx paid too dear for their annex whistle.
Monahan went after one of our Republican
candidates early in the afternoon and asked
him to come down with a dollar as “the
byes were moighty dry.” The candidate
wanted to know who he was to work for and
so Monahan handed him a ticket which he
said he was paddling and on examining it
was seen to be a Split ticket with a. demo-
crat name in place of the candidate to whom
Monahan had addressed himself ; nothing
daunted Monahan produced another ticket
and th at proved to be a straight democratic.
The Republican thought he had better apply
elsewhere for beer money.

Borough Meetind’.
At the business meeting of the Borough
held at the closing of the polls yesterday, it
was voted that the Water Commissioners be
authorized to examine into and get estimates
on four different sites for a proposed exten-
sion of pond privileges, and to report at a
future Borough meeting. It was also voted
to accept of the amendment to the Charter,
passed at the last session of the Legislature.
Fire. .
A large barn belonging to James Crowther,
Winnipauk, was destroyed by fire on Tues.
day evening last; supposed to have been in.
ccndiary. It was situated near to and oppo-
site the paper mill.‘ 'Our Fire Department
promptly turned out atthc first alarm but
could not render any assistance, it being too
far off. A small quantity of hay and a num-
ber of chickens were burricd with the barn.
Insured for about $100. _
ANOTHER.
The fire bell again sounded the alarm
about 105- O’clock on Thursday night. The
strokes were continuous, indicating a fire at
the Bridge. It proved to be the small shop
occupied by Donnelly Sr. 00., west of the
Danbury Railroad trackland near Hope Hose
house. The fire spread to the roof but the
Secretary Wisdom but was prevented by his .‘V firemen extinguiShcd the flames with little
early retirement from the Secretaryship. It -. “WW?-
Damage slight. Thought to be the
work of an incendiary.
The. Episcopal Fair.
On Wednesday and Thursday eveningslsst,
the ladies of St. Paul’s Church held a fair in
the Opera House. The hall was well filled
with friends of the ladies on both evenings.
The 'entcrtainmcnts Offered consisted Of an
assortment of fancy articles and a bill-of-fare
supper. The supper tables, were numerous,
well supplied with suitable eatables, nicely
waited upon and generously patronized. The
other part of the entertainment was displayed
in a Chinese pagoda erected in the center of
the hall, and attended upon by three young
ladies and a young miss dressed in Chinese
costume, (our Chinaman must have felt at
home as he entered the hall) ; afortunc teller
in a tent; a Gypsy camp fire; a New Eng-
land kitchen of the olden time; a doll stand
and several tables. Revs. Mr. Sellcck and
Mr. Sanford were in attendance.
We trust that the entire patronage was
such as to help far along towards the early
purchase of the desired new carpet. The
ladies netted about $400.
The Fair‘and Festival of the colored peo-
ple, held at Lockwood‘s Hall on Wedneseay
evening last, was well attended and passed
off satisfactorily to all; quite a handsome
little sum being netted for the Missionary,
Chapel.

The directors of the County Agricultural
Society held a, meeting at the residence of

‘taking of a bountiful collation. M.,W. Wil-
son, in behalf of the director's made a speech ’
extollinglhc virtues of the President, clos-
ing With presenting him with an elegant solid
silver and gold lined article, which the
’Stdndard reporter called a punch bowl, and
the Farmer man alludes to as a fruit dish.’
Mr. Wheeler was evidently surprised and re-
sponded as. best he could.
Christmas, 1881.
Christmas is fast approaching and will be
upon us almost before .we, are aware of it, so
rapid are the footsteps Of time. Our mer-
chants, howevcr, with the advent of Decem-
ber, have commenced preparing for it, and

customers as can be done by dealers in any
other place.
Us. ;
The colored vote in the Borough is not
large, but in theselatter days even a single
vote is not despised by Democratic candidates.
Last week they engineered an “independent
canons" of colored voters, hoping to capture
votes, or at least to induce colored voters to
throw away their votes. To assist in the
work of befogging the voters, one prominent
candidate who “does not want the office and
would not take it‘if elected,” generously sent
in a box of cigars with his compliments,
while another candidate who was not willing
to be re-electcd, under any circumstances,
furnished a second box. A dollar or two
was then donated by an impecunious mem-
ber for beer, and then a ticket was «adopted,
the But lhen, be it known, small beer and
cigars will not buy the majority of colored
voters of Norwalk. Altogether such a fa-
vored caucus has never before been held in
Norwalk, to our knowledge.
“ Every man’s _house is his Castle,” but
last Wednesday evening Mr. Charles Smith
Down Town, was “ surprised” to suddenly
find his house besieged by a merry crowd of
ladies and gentlemen. Knowing discretion
to be the better part Of valor he wisely ca-
pitulatcd, and his commodious rooms were
taken possession of by some eighty persons,
of all ages. Carpets came upin two rooms
and lasses were tripping the measures of a
lively dance to the music of piano and vio-
lin, while on the other side of the ball games
and conversation ruled the hour. At mid-
night,—-two or three domesticated gentlemen
having succeeded in laying the table, with
help of the ladies,——the company were in.
vited to partake Of the refreshments bounti-
fully provided by the visitors. If our friend
Smith “took the cake” that was left he will
have no cause to fear the pangs of hunger-
this winter. In the small hours he was en-
gaged in speeding. the parting guests and
urging them to come again.-
The Connecticut Telephone Company have
taken possession of the Stamford & Norwalk
line, and have merged it with their lines, and
we understand from their manager, Mr.
Frost, that they intend to make the line first-
class in every respect and give us as good
telephone service‘as can be bad. They hope
to connect us with Bridgeport this fall, and
will if the weather will permit, and they also
propose to build a new line this fall to Slam-
t'ord via. New Canaan, and so get away from
the railroad track which now causes so much
trouble. The company evidently means to
do what is right, and in return, hope to get a
big list of subscribers. .
A New Directory.
The agent is new in town distributing
copies of Boxn’s Stamford and Norwalk
Directory. At a cursory glance which is all
we have had time to give it, it appears to be
a good one ; it is well printed on good paper,
in large, clear typepand purports to include
a business and farmers 'directory of Fairfield
‘County. We should judge it to be a valua-
bleaddition to our recent directories.

Rev. J. F. Buttcrworth, of Summit, to
Char-lotto Rankin, daughter of the late Peter
S. Duryee.
The many friends of the happy bride-
groom and of the esteemed family circle of
which he is a member, have the best Of rea-
sons to congratulate him on the auspicious
consummation announced above, because of
the character and social position of the “elect
lady,” and because of the favorable circum-
stances of the marriage, and of the selection
of the company honored with the invitation
to witness it. The stately and spacious man-
sion of 'the family on Military Park, Newark,
was appropriately decorated. The impres-
sive service of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, was well rendered by the rector of
the venerable Trinity Parish. The families
and friends of the parties were present in
force, and all evidently well pleased; the
marriage feast was sumptuous,without being
ambition. The presents were numerous and
elegant. Some fifteen. or more, clergymen
of four or five denominations were present,
among them several D. D.’s, to give their
benediction. B.
AMUSEMENTS.
The musical event Of the season is the ap-
pearance this evening, at Music Hall, of the
wonderful English Bell Ringers and Glee
men. This is probably the only time Nor-
walk people will ever have an Opportunity of
hearing them, and we trust the hall will be
crowded. The Lord Mayor of London, says
of this company :
‘fTheir performances give the heartiest
satisfaction.” The Earl of Shaftsbury says:
“Your performance on the bells was really
one of the best I ever heard. The Right
Hon. the Earl of Caitlrness and myself thank
you and your band for the beautiful enter-
tainment on the bells; it was really lovely.’
Major-General Ponsonby is commanded by
the Queen to inform you that Her Majesty
was much pleased with the performance of
the Hand Bell Ringers yesterday." Besides
several hundreds of testimonials have been
sent endorsing this Royal company of Glee
Men, among which Rev. Drs. Spurgeon and
Newman Hall warmly urge their friends in
America not to fail to hear their unusually
charming music. John B. Gough who heard
them in Europe, gave up a $200 appoint-
ment to hear them at their first concert in
America last month in Boston. Many people
travel forty to fifty miles to hear their songs
of glee, witty sayings and charming bells.
The Colonel.
Our amusement goers and all who like a
good play and good acting ought to turn out
in full force to witness "The Colonel” at the
Opera House, on Wednesday evening, for we
are assured that both are first-class in every re-
spect. It has had a long and very successful
run in Boston and has also met with very
flattering success so far on its travels outside.
Be sure and take in “The Colonel.” The
Times thus speaks of it :
“The story can be briefly described as be-
ing the annihilation of a party of so-called
zesthctes by the timely intervention of an
American colonel. We have not space to
devote a full review of the performance, so
must content ourselves with saying that the
entire is much deeper and more cutting and
more sensible than that written by Mr. Gil-
bert in ‘Patience.’ ”
An Excursion to the Rhine.
Those who have never had the opportunity
of ascending or descending this world-re-
nowned river and of beholding the castle-
erowned heights of its banks and the many
places and scenes through which it flows
from its sources to the sea, famous in history,
and those also who would refresh their knowl-
edge and impressions of the same, will do
well to attend the lecture on the Rhine, il-
lustrated by stcreoptical exhibitions, to be
given in the Lecture Reom of the First
Congregational Church, on next Friday
night, by the Rev. Charles R. Trcal. Mr.
Treat, formerly an instructor in Amherst
College, afterward pastor of the 2nd Con-
gregational Church in Greenwich,more re-
cently chaplain of the American Seaman’s
Friend Society at Antwerp Belgium, has en-
joyed rare advantages for preparing such a
lecture, and possesses eminent qualifications
of mind, person and delivery for making it
interesting. A first-class literary and artistic
entertainment, fitted to instruct and elevate
as well as to please, is now offered to the
citizens of Norwalk and vicinity. It is hoped
that there will be many present to appreciate
it. Admission 25 cents; children 15 cents.
The Lockwood Rifles, 00. F, are to hold
another one of their delightful Sociables at
their armory (Lockwood'sHall), on Wednes-
day evening, the 14th inst. '
Rev. E. H. Barbour was greeted with a
very full house at Music Hall, on Tuesday
evening last, and his lecture was listened to
with much interest. The Old Well H. 6:. L.
00. netted nearly a hundred dollars as the
result of their enterprise and experiment.
The 100 Wives Combination gave a very
pleasing and amuSing performance to a fair

The naughty Advocate man accuses the
Long Ridgers Of forming a syndicate for the
purchase of a gorgeous gold chain which is
common property and is worn by each in
turn when they drive down to Stamford.
The story goes that the chain when not in

office, and when a Long Ridger, on pleasure
or business bent, starts for town he puts on a
biled shirt and then starts for the chain.

hospitality of its pages to thinkers and
scholars of all creeds and forms of belief,
and at the same time to maintain relations
with a publishing house having extensive
school-books and other interests of its own

The N orwalk Reservoir.
On Saturday last we paid a'visit to the
Norwalk‘roservoir; which is situated upon
the extensive farm of Mr. Charles Grupe, in
New Canaan township, some three miles
from this village. A force of workmen are
now putting the finishing touches upon the
task Of strengthening and repairing the dam
so as in the future to preclude all possibility
of a collapse. This has been done by putting
a sloping grade on theinside of the dam-—
which as originally constructed was nearly
perpendicular—thus taking away nearly all
of the pressure upon the darn proper. The
work has been done in the most substantial
manner and our droutby neighbor need, we
imagine, fear no failure in her water works
on account of any abdominal weakness in
this reservoir.—New Canaan Messenger.

Correspondence.
NEW Yonrr, Dec. 1, 1881.
DEAR GAZETTE :
I find copied in my diary of 1879, from
Barbour’s History of Connecticut, a regl es-
tate transaction’which has been the subject
of a good deal of criticism, and perhaps some
censure. It is the record of the sale of a
tract of land lying between the Norwalk
and Five Mile river. .. Commencing at the
sea, and extending. “Indian one day walk
into ye country” (about 12 miles). The
consideration paid for this tract of wild
land was 10 Fathom of Wampum, 3 Hoes,
when ship come in.
I am inclined to think that the expression
“When my ship comes in,’ bad its Origin
here—3 Hatchcts, 12 Tobacco-pipes, 0 Glass-
es, 3 Knives, 10 Drills, 10 Needles. What
could have been the value of 60 feet of
wampum, Indian money. I have no means
of :knowing, nor can I estimate dcfiniclly
the price of any of the above articles, but
supposing that altogether the lot was worth
amount had been put where it would have
drawn 0 percent. interest (compounded) it
would buy a good share of the tract with all
the improvements now on it. My purpose
in calling attention to the above facts was to
introduce another matter somewhat related
to this transaction, and it is about the pipes.
In the summer of 1878 or 1879 a gentleman
living in Wilton while ploughing corn’or
potatoes, turned up a number of Indian cu-
riosities, and among them was an iron tobac-
co pipe which I have no doubt was one of
the 12 pipes above named as a part of the
price paid for the tract of land. My reason
for this belief is that when a boy, Mr. Wm.
Pitt Gilbert. the old blacksmith at Dump-
ling Hill, had just such a pipe which he said
Tom Worrups (a kind of semi-chief) gave
him. If I am right the pipe is a curious and
interesting relic. METrrusnLAn.

Nehemiah, 8:16 : “ And Ezra blessed the
Lord the Great Lord,” etc. Lesson drawn
from the walls of Jerusalem broken down,
and the gates burnt with fire. Prayer on
that occasion Offered, and efforts put forth in
the interest of Zion. In answer to prayer
help came. Was the day of God’s power-
Thc people came willingly, and with unan-
mity to the work : all excuses set Laside. A
genuine religious revival. From the first we
have the evidence that their hearts were.
touched. Participation in the work, with
willing hearts and obedient hands, .'essential
to progress and success. The people did not-
,sit unconcerned spectators. There was hu-
miliation, reverence and worship; they cried
amen and amen, bowed their heads with up
lifted hands and worshipped. The question
is pertinent to us, what are we doing? Have
we been out among the ruins? Have we ta-
kena careful survey of the field, the out-
look, the desolation? At close of service, at-
tention of church called to report of pulpit
committee, presenting the name of Rev. A
W. Wright of Middletown, N. Y., as a can.
didate for pastor, to their consideration. De-
liberation and action, called in question, by
Rev. E. D. Bentley. Discussion culminated,
in almost a unanimous vote, to call the above
named candidate.

POTATOEs ARE ALWAYS AN ExrnxsrvE
Foam—That is to say, comparatively. A
bushel of potatoes (60 lbs.) contain nearly 50
lbs of water and only about 10 lbs. of solid
nutriment, which is mainly starch. At
present wholesale prices here this is nearly
10 cents a pound for the food they yield.
Fair wheat flour, at $8 a barrel, is only 4
centsa pound. Corn at 80 cents a bushel
(56 lbs.) has nearly 50 lbs. of nulriment,
costing less than 2 cents per lb. Taking the
country altogether, and the price of potatoes
corn', wheat, etc., high and low, from year
to year, the average nutritious food obtained
in the form of potatoes costs 4 to 5 times as
much as it does in. the consumption of corn
or beans, and 2} to 4 times as much as in the
form of wheat flour, or oatmeal, beans, rice,
etc—American Agriculturz'st.

About Potatoes—Expensive
' Food.
It is estimated that New York City alone
daily consumes 20,000 bushels of potatoes;
or one bushel to every 75 or 80 of the resi-
dent and transpopulation; out} bushels each
per annum. The wholesale price now by
the car or heat load is $2.50 to $3.00 per
barrel, or fully $1 per bushel, and the retail
price considerably higher. Shrewd dealers
and speculators have for some time past been
buying up all available supplies in many 10-
calities. Ordinarily, the greater weight of
potatoes for the same money value, and the
frost embargo for at least three winter
months, prevent the transfer of potatoes
from regions of plenty to these of scacrity,
as is done with grain; but active transpor-
tation over long distances is now going on.
