Dear. GAZETTE:—
_, <Washington has been about as dull all the
4, week as Fairfield used to be in ye olden time
during the recess of the courts. Last Satur—
day, Sunday and Monday were fully enjoyed
by the small boy in footing his horns and
firing his pistols and fire crackers on every
possible opportunity, while the festive male
of larger growth gave himself up to unusual
potationsoi eggjnog. The police were quite
active this year in their efforts to suppress
the annual horn blowing and firing of crack-
ers and pistols, and many were the captures
and reprisals made by the “ cops.” Indeed,
the police were more active and efficient in
pursuing the boys and wresting from them
their instruments of noise-making, than they
were in any attempts to suppress the copious
sale and free imbibing Of the intoxicating
egg-hog. What possible correlation there
can be between our popular and now univer-
sally recognized Christmas festival which, if
it means anything, means a joyful recogni-
tion of the birth of the Saviour of mankind,
and the noisy hubbub always created by
southern youngsters, and the inordinate use
of egg-hog as a distinctive Christmas bever-
age, is more than the sober Yankee can di-
vine. We are assured that the further South
we go the more conspicuous is this mode of
celebrating Christmas. We have never
known the entire week following Christmas
to be so fully given over to holiday leisure
here as has been the 'case the present year.
THE GUITEAU TRIAL
has been even more disgusting this week
than at any time since its commencement.
The assassin has been even more abusive and
violent, till on Wednesday his antics rose to
such a pitch that it was found necessary to
place him in the prisoner’s dock. Hitherto
he has been allowed the privilege of sitting
beside his counsel, and the change tO the
more exposed position of the dock served in
a measure to suppress some of his vehement
tlrades. He seems to be in mortal fear of
exposing himself in any position where
it would be posssible for any one to
shoot him. The week has been consumed in
the taking of expert testimony, all of which
has been decidedly adverse to the alleged in-
sanity of the assassin. It is now impossible
to even conjecture the length of time neces-
sary to end the trial as the defense has deci-
ded'upon rc-opening the case on account of
some newly discovered evidence, which in
their minds will conclusively prove the in-
sanity of their client. This proposed idea is
being strongly combated by the prosecution
who claim, and justly too, that that ground
has already beeucovered to such an extent
that any further delay for that purpose would
be simply a waste of valuable time, and
cause the government much unnecessary ex-
pense. As to the result of the trial it is yet
too early to speculate.
‘ TREASURY DEPARTMENT ITEMS.
Secretary Folger went to Geneva, New
York, to spend the holidays with his family.
He has issued the following circular to
collectors of customs and others; “ The fee
of twenty cents for an official certificate will
not hereafter be charged for officially certify-
ing or issuing the triplicate copies of certifi-
cates of inspection required by section 4423,
Revised Statutes, to be issued to owners or
masters, as the Department holds that the
files specified in section 4458, Revised Stat-
utes,cover all services connected with inspec-
tion of steam vessels." '
It is stated that ex-Appoiutment Clerk
Lampherc, of Connecticut, is an applicant
for appointment as special agent of the
Treasury Department. - .
0n the 30th of last June a clerk in the
Treasury Department resigned his position
in consequence of ill-health, on condition
that his wife should take his place. Nearly
all the New York delegation, from which
State the gentleman hailed and was credited,
joined in the request, and it was done. His
wife, however, was, curiously enough, cred-
ited to Kentucky by Assistant Secretary
Upton. In September last the wife left her
husband. The husband is now in better
health and wants to get his place back but
cannot. He has two Small children by his
first wife, who was a sister of the present
wife. ' ‘he Department is in a quandary as
to how this question, in all its bearings,
should be settled.
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ITEMS.
Postmaster General James returned here
to-day. .
Ex—Senator T. O. Howe is at Chicago on
route here to relieve Mr. James, who goes at
once to work at organizing the new Lincoln
Bank, near the Grand Central Depot, New
York.
Mr. Van Wormer, who it will be remem-
bered so ably opened the presidential cam-
paign at Norwallr, and who has been here as
Mr. James’ chief clerk and right hand man
during all his term as Postmaster General,
goes to New York with Mr. James and will
be connected with him in the new banking
enterprise. Mr. Van Wormer has proved an
able and most valuable oflicer here, and the
ex-P. M. General deems his services so iuis-
pensible to him, that he has persuaded him
‘0 resign and go to New York with him.
Democratic papers down South complain
because First Assistant Postmaster General
Hutton turns out Democratic postmasters and
puts in Republicans. They say it destroys
“harmony.” Jest so. All the harmony
down there of late years has been Demo—
cratic harmony. The Republicans want a
little harmony in theirs. 7
.Postmaster General Howe has a farm near
Green Bay, and is deeply interested in agri-
cultural matters.
THE wnrrn noose.
Extensive arrangements have been made
for the New Year reception at the White
House, on Monday, when Pres. Arthur’s
first general hand-shaking takes place. The
President is a healthy, robust man, but even
he can’t endure without exhaustion the strain
of acoustant siege by office seekers. Mr.
Arthur is now going through very much the
same experience that Gen. Garfield had last
spring. The bigger the country gets the
harder it is to be President. The present
incumbent, however, has a decided advan-
tage over some men in that he knows how
to say no and Stick to it. It is reported of
him moreover, that while he is willing to sit
up all night with his chums, he won’t get up
in the morning for anybody till he “gets
good and ready.” .
PROPOSED ENLARGEMENT on Tue LAND orrrcr:
A sub-committee of the Senate Committee
on Public Lands, on Thursday made a tour
of inspection of that portion of the Interior
Department occupied by the General Land
Office. Many complaints have been made
of the inadequate space allowed for file room
and for the land records which are probably
the most important of all the government
archives. These records are at present in a
very exposed and dangerous condition, the
object of the committee‘s visit was to devise
some means for improving this state ,Of af-
fairs.
orrrcrAL ouaxcas.
It is stated that Sevcllou A. Brown, chief
clerk of the State Department, is to give way
to the personal friend of the new Secretary.
He is, however, to be provided for else-
where.
The President has signed the commission.
of Thomas C. Acton as Assistant United
States Treasurer a" New York to succeed
Mr. Hillitousc.
It is rumored that Gen. James A. Wil--
' liamson, of Iowa, is to be the next Secre-
tary of the Intrrior, and it is even more con-
fidently stated that William E. Chandler, of
New Hampshire is to be made Secretary of
the Navy. .
Ex-Supervisiug Architect Mullet has put
in ajclaim for the position of Superintendent
of the Federal Buildings now in course of
construction, and is understood to have Gen-
eral Grant’s support. .-

SALEI 0F POSTAGE STAMPS.
From returns made to Third Assistant
Postmaster General Hazen, it appears that
the sales of postage stamps,stamped envelopes
and postal cards for the quarter ending Sep-
tember 30, 1881,amounted to $0,177,788.88,
an increase over the sales of the correspond-
ing period of last year of $1,030,109.74, or
about 11 4-10 per cent.
DIED.
A Miss Marie C. Reinestcn, a native of
Norway, but who has lived at- New Haven
and Farmingtcn in our State, died Dec. 24th
at the Providence Hospital here, in the 25th
year of ber’age. It is said of her that she
had endeared herself by her superior quali-
ties of head and heart to a large number of
prominent people here. Four years:sincc she
visited her Childhood’s home in Norway,
where she contracted consumption. Though
poor in this world’s goods she was richly en-
dowed With the highest qualities of mind and
heart, and though dying in a strange land
many sincere mourners followed her to the
grave,among them being Judge David Davis,
the President of the Senate, who prolonged
his stay here to attend her funeral.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The International Postal Union extends to
twenty-five countries besides the English,
French and Dutch colonies. During the
year 1879 it forwarded 6,776,000,000 packa-
ges of all kinds, of which 5,285,000,000 bc-
longed to Europe.
The discussion of' the tariff question will
be resumed immediater after the Senate re-
convenes, when an effort will be made to pass
the Merrill bill. It is thought that the bill
will pass the Senate, but it is doubtful if it
will go through the House.
And now comes the report that Err-Presi-
dent Hayes has refused to contribute to the
Garfield Monument fund, pleading poverty
as an excuse. We are sorry to hear that our
Err—President is in such a lamentable state of
of a penny collection for his relief.
Mr. Horace Gray. of Massachusetts, the
newly appointed Justice of the Supreme
Court; is more than six feet tall and stout in
proportion. He is a bachelor.
PERSONALS.
The Japanese Minister, J ushie Yoshida
Kiyonari, and suite left here on Wednesday
morning for San Francisco. They will sail
for Japan on January 7.
We noticed among the Arlington arrivals
this week the name of E. H. Weatherbee, As-
sistant U. S. Attorney, of New York, who
made us a flying visit with his young bride.
We congratulate “Ned” and wish him all
manner of happiness in his wedded life.
0. C. Marsh, E. T. Bowers and Eli Whit-
ney have been with us this week.
'AsEver, 13.
P. S.—Jan. 2,1882. To-day has been a
rarely beautiful winter's day and fully given
over to the pleasant custom of New Years
calls. Of course the chief interest centred
in the White House reception, although Mrs.
Blaine and Mrs. P. M. Gen. James gave re-
ceptions to their numerous friends. It was
the intention to decorate the White House
for today’s reception with a liberal display
of bunting. This fact, however, was publish-
ed and reached President Arthur’s eyes
through a New York paper. He immediate-
ly countermanded this plan by telegraph, on
the ground that such profusion of bunting
in the White House would be distasteful,and
disrespectful to the memory of the late
President. The reception itself was a social
necessity, but he desired that it should be
held with as little display as possible.
Flowers and pottted plants were the only
decorations used. The President has been
universally commended for his delicate sense
of propriety in not having the outside of the
White House gaily decorated with bunting.
The following ladies assisted President Ar-
thur in the Reception to-day: Mrs. Senator
Logan, Mrs. Senator Jones, of Nevada, Mrs.
Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Mrs.
Senator Miller, of California, Mrs. Senator
Pendleton, Mrs. Representative Robeson,
Mrs. Ex-socretary Blaine. The full Marine
Band was in attendance.
Mrs. Gen. Wm. T. Clarke received at her
residence, 631 East Capitol street, with her
daughters, Miss May and Mrs. Whitaker,also
Miss Minnie Hoyt and her mother Mrs. Jas.
E. Hoyt. ,
A fashionable lady at the West End has
substituted buttonhole bouquets for New
Year’s callers instead of cake and wine. She
says it is better for the, callers next day.

That New Canaan Bridge.
If the bridge erected at Brady’s crossing
deserveda memorial plate in honor of the
committee under whose direction and super-
vision it was brought forth, we certainly
think that the bridge recently opened to the
so much engineering skill in the way of di-
vergcnce from the line of the highways
which itwas intended to connect, ought not
to be overlooked, and the suggestion that a
bronze statue should be set up in honor of
designer and committee, in the low meadow
near where the easterly end of the bridge
terminates, is certainly entitled to due con-
sideration. *

Our Schools.
The public schools will re-open on Wedneik

Board of Belief.
The town Board of Relief “received
calls " yesterday. No cards, no crackers, no
cheese, and yet some callers retired with a
sense of “relief.” The next meeting will,
be held on Wednesday evening. i
What might have been a “raging confin-
gration” was happily prevented, last Satur-
day, by Captain Secor, at the propeller olllce.
Two little boys had crawled in under the
new store house of Meeker &.Bros. and had
built a fire to keep themselves warm. The
captain fortunately discovered the state of
affairs and gave the alarm in time to prevent
any damage. The store house contiiined hay
and other combustible materials, and close
by was stored a large quantity of kerosene
oil.
No Almanac.
We have no Almanac to offer our subscri-
bers this season. We made timely arrange-
ments for an edition similar to those of the
past two years, but_at the last moment were
disappointed. '

Death of Treasurer D. P. Nichols.
The telegraphbears the following sad an-
nouncement:
DANBURY, Conn., Jan. 2.-The Hon.David
P. Nichols, State Treasurer of Connecticut,
died here at 3 p. m. to—day.
Mr. Nichols was born in Danbury in 1811.
For several generations his family has been
an influential one in the town. He received
an academic education, and began a success—
ful business career, which lasted thirty-three
years. He held many offices of trust, having
been a director of the Danbury National bank,
the Danbury and Norwalk Railroad, the
Norwalk Fire Insurance Company and other
corporations. For sixteen years he was a
member of the Board of Trustees of the State
Reform School. '
- Mr. Nichols also took partin public affairs.
In 1860, 1865 and 1880 he was a member of
the Connecticut House, having been elected
by the Republican party, with which be has
always been identified. ‘Whilc serving in
the House he was an influential member,and
won credit as chairman of the Railroad and
Finance Committees. In 1869,, 1870, 1871
and 1872, Mr. Nichols was State Treasurer
under the administration of Governor J ewoll.
He was the first treasurer who required the
banks to pay interest on State funds deposit-
ed with them. His administration of the of-
fice was straightforward and economical,and
commended itself to every citizen of the
State. In 1873 he was appointed as the spec-
ial bank commissioner for the examination of
all the savings banks in the State. In the
fall of 1880 he was nominated again by the
Republicans for State Treasurer, and was
elected by a plurality of over 2,000.
Mr. Nichols was net only well known, but
he was probably more widely respected and
beloved than almost any public man of our
State. To know him was instinctively to be-
come attched to him. He was always so
cordial, so true,so sincere and lasting a friend,
that the popular confidence and esteem in.
which he was universally held always show-
ed itself whenever his name appeared among
candidates for any ofiice, and he always ran
largely ahead of his party’s ticket. Peace to
his ashes.

Presentations.
At the Christmas Eve services at St. Paul’s
church, an elegant blackwalnutpulpit,highly
polished, was presented by Mrs. Theo. E.
Smith as a memorial of her late husband, and
formally dedicated.
At the Christmas festival at the First Bap-
tist church, last Wednesday evening, the
devoted Superintendent of the Sunday-
School, James L. Ambler, was presented
with a beautiful picture entitled “Devotion,"
handsomely framed. The gift is one which
Mr. Ambler will highly prize both for its
intrinsic excellence and the spirit which
prompted the givers.
On New Years day Mrs. Sylvester Van'
Hoosear was surprised by the reception of
one of Rogers‘" groups, “Fetching the Doc-
tor," a presen t from her Sunday-school class.
The beautiful gift carried joy with it, for it

What with yearly bills, inventory, bad

is hoping that our readers will find cash
enough in the locker to settle the bills
promptly; that inventories will show pros-
perity; that advertising in the GAZETTE will
bring good trade. and that the year of 1882
will bring'joy and plenty to all.

The installation of the newly elected ofli-

Chapter was held on Tuesday evening last in
the pleasant rooms of the Lodge. , Many in-
vited guests were present, including ladies.
In addition to the installation exercises,a brief
address was delivered by Rev. Brother Fuller
and a poem by Rev. Bro.A.N.Lewis,of West-
port, both of which were received with ap-
plause. The literary exercises were followed
by the distribution of light refreshments in
a novel manner. Gentlemanly hod carriers
entered with their black walnut hods filled
with what looked very much like bricks,
being of the same size, shape and color.
These were distributed and found to be well
filled with various kinds of cake. White
boxes, in key stone form, followed, contain-
ing confectionery, etc. Lemonade was serv-
ed, but extracts were read from Lodge re-
ports of one hundred years ago showing that
in those days the Lodge provided something
much stronger for similar occasions. Music
was furnished by male voices.

One of the most disgraceful scenes wit.
'nessed in this city for some time was the
sight of two young boys, neither one of
whom was over fourteen years of age, on
the depot platform yesterday afternoon in
an intoxicated condition. The mother of
one of the boys tried to get him to go home,
whereupon he turned upon her and succeed-
ed in throwing her to the ground, and then
ran away. She called for the police but they
were not in hearing distance. If some of
our weak-kneed temperance advocates who
believe in moral suasion only, had witnessed
this disgraceful scene, we think even they
would have been shocked. We think moral
suasion is all right. but law should be dealt
out to a person who is so low that he would
sell rum to such young boys—Sentinel;

Christmas Festivities.
Concord Division holds a sort of Christ-
mas Tree Festival this evening.
The Congregational Sunday School festival,
last Wednesday afternoon and evening, was
well attended and passed off pleasantly.
The Festival of the First Baptist Sunday
School was held on Wednesday evening last,
and was a very enjoyable occasion. A fea-
ture of the evening was the presentation of
a fine picture to the Superintendent.
The Christmas Festival at St. Paul‘s took
place at the church, on Wednesday after-
noon, the 28tb, and was thoroughly enjoy-
ed by some four hundred Sunday School
children. The usual services of the occasion
were held, followed by a happy address from
the Rector, the Rev. Chas. M. Selleck, after
which the children filed out forming in
procession, and marched around the church-
yard to the Sunday School room, pausing
sufficiently to enable the Rector to pay a
fitting tribute, and render the memory green
of their late departed Rector. If the child-
ren’s eyes sparkled at sight of the heavily
laden tables placed in the chance], and filled
with bon bons and suitable" presents for the
Infant Class, on entering the Sunday School
rooms they must have been completely
fascinated by the display which there greeted
them. The sumptuously prepared feast,
provided by-thc ladies of the church, was
all the little folks could require to please
their. taste and appease their now rapidly
growing appetites. The Christmas tree hung
with brilliant lights and glittering ornaments
reminded one of Fairyland ; and indeed, the
Fairies themselves could not resist so tempt-
ing a sight, but actually appeared with Santa
Claus in their midst, in a sleigh drawn by
six elves. Four beautiful little girls, ele-
gantly and appropriately dressed ; and
never were Fairies more fairy-like, or elves
more elfish. The effect was charming. The
children rose to their feet, and greeted them
with enthusiasm and delight, to which they
responded with the " ‘
Fairies Bong.
We are elves and fairies,
‘ Far from mortal sight,
Dance we in a circle,
In the pale moonlight,
Come we from the forest,
Where the mosses grow,
Where the tiny kingcups,
Whisper soft and low.
Gleam: by Elves.

Happy Christian children,

With his reindeers fleet,
Over spire and hill-top,
Over house and street ;

Happy Christian children

Their welcome came heartily and with a
will.
Welcome by the school;
Glory in the highest!
Thus the Song began,
Listen to the tidings,
Peace, good will to man!
Glory in the highest!
Still the Song we sing
In glad and grateful homage,
To our Infant King.
Welcome ! Elves and Fairies,
Welcome to our glee!

This special feature was original with one
of the teachers of the school, the song and
reply being adapted to music by the organist.
Gifts, beautiful and appropriate, were dis-
tributed to every member of the school.
Surely the officers and teachers are to be
congratulated on the prosperity of the school
and .their successful efforts in pleasing the
children.
The Telephone.
The line to New Canaan was completed
last week and communication opened. The
first instrument was put in at S. Hoyt’s Sons
Nursery and one of the first persons to use
it was the venerable ’Mrs. Hoyt, mother of
James and EdwiuHoyt, the Nurserymen.
We have received several calls from ourNew
Canaan friends and find that we can hear
them as distinctly as we can people in this
immediate vicinity.
The line to New Canaan is a wonderful
convenience to Messrs. Comstock Bros, who
now have their stores in the borough and
city confiected with each other and the man
ufactory in New Canaan. The following
will show how it works: .A lady came into
the city store after 9 o’clock Saturday, and
was very anxious to obtain a suit for a little
boy that day. They were out of the size
needed and telephoned to the store uptown.
As the size was not in stock, Mr. Comstock
called the factory in New Canaan, and the
suit was sent down and delivered before
noon. , '
Charles Ramsdell of Middletown, Conn.,
an experienced telephoniét, has been engaged
as resident manager for this place. He'will
also act as night operator at the Centriil of-
fice. . .

Minstrels.
Healy’s Hibernian Minstrels will occupy
Music Hall, on Wednesday evening. The
company includes such performers as Mr.
and Mrs. Murray,llir.and Mrs. Brennan,Bryon
O‘Lynn, Myles Norris and others. The pro-
gramme embrsces a pleasing selection of
songs and ballards, tableaux of Irish scenery.
patriotic, cthiopean delineations and charac-
acter sketches, dialogues, Irish jigs and com-
icalities, and an Irish sketch “Love and
Liquor.” 0f the Murrays, who play this
sketch, the Montreal Gazette says:
“We must certainly give them the palm
for being the finest, Irish sketch artists that
have ever appeared on any stage in Montreal.
They do not in their sketch, degrade the Irish
character, but on the other hand, by ,a plea:-
ing combination-of circumstances, try to en-
uoblc it.”

Last Friday [afternoon a lady boarded
Conductor Pulling’s train on the Daubury
a small satchel in her hand. and on leaving
the train at Norwalk bridge, left the satchel
in the seat. After. the train had left the
station a man sitting in the next seat picked
up the satchel and resented himself in an-
other part of the car. One of the passengers
who noticed the act informed the conductor,
whereupon Mr. Pulling went to the man and
demanded the satchel. The man gave it up
without any protest and the conductor took
charge of it, thinking it would be called for.
Taking it home with him he examined the
contents. and greatly ,to his surprise found
that it contained, among other valuable
articles, a pair of diamond ear rings and a
handsome gold ring with a diamond setting.
Mr. Pulling made inquiries and learned that
the lady belonged in Philadelphia and had
come to Norwalk to visit friends. The
satchel and valuables were returned to her,
but not until she had given up all hopes of
uecovcring them. In appreciation of the re-
cmgshe presented Conductor Pulling

CITY ITEMS.
The legislative fathers of the city relin"
quished their positions on Friday eve after a
lengthy meeting devoted mostly to routine
business. His honor Mayor Adams in afew
felicitous remarks alluded to the pleasant so-
cial intercourse which had been continuous
during the sessions of the board, and to the
endeavors on the part of each one to perform
his duty. While a motion was pending to
pass a vote of thanks to the mayor and city
clerk, Councilman Nash, in his address, al-
luded to the pleasure he had in meeting with
his co-laborers, and also the efficiency of his
honor in presiding, and of the city clerk in
the performance of his duties. It had ever
been to the speaker “like a social gathering,
andwhen a member was absent he missed
him.” Councilman Hallock said that he re-
gretted to part with his associates, but should
long remember their meetings and the cour-
teousness of the mayor and city clerk. The
only regret he had was that the expenses had
increased in nearly every department. In
his own department (Police) he read from
the report of the chief of police showing that
the number of arrests had been more than
usual. The cause of arrest (drunkenness)
was more than all others, and for this it had
been necessary to have extra ofiicers at times
on duty. He thought in reference to the in-
creased "expcnse incurred in lighting the
streets with kerosene the tax payers received
very little benefit for this money. Council—
men Henry Seymour was in favor Of the vote
of :tbanks and hoped the retiring mayor
would soon present to the city his “photo in
a case," that it might with those of the pre-
ceding mayors, adoru the walls of the cham-
ber of the board. He regretted the increase
of expenses in his department (streets) but it
could not be helped. He;,had spent much
more time in superintending the work than
was profitable to him, and hoped his succee-
sor in the new board would have more leisure
to attend to such duties. Councilmen Weed,
Seymour and Austin were very quiet until
the motion was put to a vote by Senior Coun-
cilman Hallock, when all voted and the res-
olution was unanimously adopted.
In these winter days, while winter has put
away her. summer dress, it is a pleasure to
stroll into the flower garden of John ,H.
Smith,where flowers of every description are
in full bloom. Every new appliance he has
adopted for the successful prosecution of the
business.
There is no doubt that at the next meeting
of the General Assembly of this State, one
of the most difficult matters with which they
will have to meddle will be the “ modifying,
codifying, and mystifying” the city charter.
Luckily there will not be a lawyer as coun-
cilman in the new board. ‘
Judging by the progress made,thc re-plank-
ing of the drawbridge will be completed be-
fore April next.
Mr. Alexander Archer-grandson and name-
sake, Of Brooklyn, L. I., spent New Years
day with friends in this city.
The busiest man, financially, on the last
day of the year, was J. M. Layton, our popu-
lar bank, insurance and real estate agent.
Money poured into his coffers until a late
hour on Saturday night. '
A quorum of the new Board of Council-
men met in the council rooms at 12 o’clock’,
noon, on Monday. Messrs. Nash and Lane
were absent. At 12 O’clock and~11 minutes
the oath of office was administered to his
honor Mayor Swartz by the City Clerk, and
afterwards to the Councilmen present, when
,an adjournment was had till Tuesday even-
ing. City Marshall elect, Eugene Kinney,
was sworn into office and congratulated by
his numerous friends present, and as it was
New Years he doubtless did the nice thing
by them at the City Hotel.

It is a matter of journalistic record, that
some years since, a schooner set sail from
Baltimore, having on board a crew of thir-
teen men. By a most singular freak of na-
ture, the entire force was attacked by a skin
disease, which manifested itself in large, ul-
cerated sores on the arms and hands, wholly
incapacitating the men from duty. The re-
sult was that the vessel was towed back to
the city where the men were placed in the
hospital. Moral! Had Swaync’s Ointment
for skin diseases been used in the first place,
the crew would have recovered in from 12 to
48 hours. 4L50
