Special Notice.
Any of our patrons who will return as
copies of last Tuesday’s GAZETTE containing
our leading editorial article headed DANlEL
WEBSTER and SEcnssrox, will be gladly paid
five cents a copy ,and receive our grateful
thanks. Altbongli‘ we printed a large extra
edition of the GAZETTE containing that inter-
esting and important contribution to Ameri-
can history,thc demand for the paper hasbeen
so great from far and near that our edition
was soon exhausted and we were unable to
supply either the news dealers at home, or
orders for nearly a hundred copies ranging
from Boston to Washington.
”
To Correspondents--Once for All.
We not only freely admit, but solicit com-
munications for the GAZETTE upon any and
all subjects of public interest, irrespective of
any views which we may cherish—our cor.
cespondents being responsible for the senti-
ments and statements they advance. We
shall strive to prevent private grudges from
gaining expression through these . columns,
no matter how influential the source from
which any such envy or malice may eman-
ate. and every one. high or low. feeling 'true? We think not. We do not deny \that
agrieved by anything we may publish, shall
have the fullest and frecst opportunity of
reply. It would be verydelightful could the
journalist write pleasantly of and in commen~
dation of every man and measure-brought un-
der review, but the millenium has not come,
and that Editor is unworthy his name and a
disgrace to his profession who lets coward-
ice or cupidity tempt to the suppression of a
correspondent's just and fair criticisms,
whenever and wherever public interests
are involved. In short, - we purpose
that the GAZETTE shall be a courageous-
rcsolute, . vigorous, independent enter-
prising, spirited, wide-awake, bright, just and
genial home paper, specially devoted to lo-
cal intcrcsts and brimfull of new, price five
cents a copy and two dollars per year, and
we invite every one who believes that Nor-
, walk is deserving of such a newspaper as we
propose the GAZETTE shall be, to step into
our office and encourage us with their good
wishes and patronage.

“LetTheré be Light 1”
Several complaints have recently been
made to us regarding the light, or rather the
lack of it, which is disseminated from the
lamps throughopt this Borough. Either the
calendar prepared by the Court of Burgesses
should be altered or else totally ignored.
Sunday night, in particular, between the
hours of six andeight and before the moon
had risen, it was dark as Erebus on all our
principal borough streets, and pedestrians
generally had hard work to pick their way.
Apropos of this we are informed that very
one dark night, that his men should light
selves, as he claimed he. could not do his
duly without. This state of afIairs ought to
be remedied for the safety of public as well
as private property, to say nothing of the
safety of tax-paying pedestrians. We trust.
our bnrgcsscs will give it their early atten-
tion and see if a schedule that was prepared
for the summefmonths, when the days were
long, cannot be altered to fit the present
winter months when darknesstcomes much
earlier. 0: better,~give us light when it is
dark, and not omit it when the almanac
announces a moon that is very likely to be
obscured by clouds. A word to the wise is
sufficient and by paying heed to this voice of
the people, the borough may save itscif'some
hcavy bill of costs, through accidents aris-
ing from just such culpable negligence, as
we have detailed above and which is almost
universally complained of by our largest tax
payers and best citizens.
And Still Another.
Mr. J. W. Pinckney, who is very far from
being a scold or grumbler, calls upon us to
voice his protest against our present system,
or lack of system, of lighting‘ our street
lamps. He particularly and very justly, as,
we know, complains of the lack of lights
Sunday evenings. The contract with the"
gaseompany should be, that the street lamps
be lighted every evening when it is dark,
and not as now, only when the almanac says
there isfno moon, behind the clouds. These
complaints are justly made, and we implore
our Borough Board to at once remedy this
universally condemned evil.
#
Is There no Difierencc.
How frequently is the rgmark made, and
especially from moderate democrats, that
“ there is no difference between the Republi-
can party and the modern bourbon democra-
cy, except that the Republicans hold the
ofiices and the democrats don’t." Now is this
many individual members of the democratic
party are upright men, good citizens and true
patriots, but so far as their party has any in-.
finance upon public affairs and is a force and
power for the public weal or woe, the history
of that party past and present, is evil. and
only evil, unpatriotic and viscious. It ever
has and does now fight every measure good
or bad, that is proposed by Republicans. Let
us enumerate a few of the most prominent
measures of the Republican party, which
have been most bitterly opposed by the mod-
ern, or bourbon democracy. Here is just a
score of the many that we might give, did
time and space allow :— .
1. President Lincoln‘s proclamation in 1861
for 75,000 troops to defend the National Cap-
ital.
2. President Lincoln's call for 300,000
troops to re-tako Southern forts and other
property and resist rebellion. '
3. The refusal to return slaves escaping.
into Union lines during the war.
4. The issuance of greenbacks.
5. The arming of negroes. .
0. The emancipation proclamation._
7. The continuance of the war against re-
bellion after 1864.
8. The overthrow of the Southern State
gavernments by President Johnson after Lee's
surrender. _
9. The constitutional amendment abolish-
ing slavery. _
10. Trumbull’s civil rights bill.
11. The fourteenth amendment,which was
intended to make the civil rights bill. consti-
tutionsl.
12. The overthrow of the temporary gov-
ernments in the South and formation of;oth-
crs by the general vote of the people.
Our Candidate fo. ,
HON. LYMAN W. CO5.
The vote of this, the 4th Congresn ‘
— District, for the past four years, clean,
shows that a large number of the intelligent
but politically indifferent voters of Fairfield
and Litchfield counties, have voted for the
republican candidate for congress on the
ground that he has to their minds embodied
more of average. practical, business sense,
than his opponents put in nomination, by
the democratic party. We chance to know
many liberal minded‘and independent dem-
' ocrats who have voted for our congressional
candidate for the same reason. To all such
, we would say, without fear of contradiction
that our present nominee, Mr. Coe, pos-
sesses these elements of practical every-day,
common-sense to an exceptional degree.
He is a large and successful manufacturer.
Has traveled much at home and abroad.
Has a quick eye to take in and profit by all
hesees. He isamodel gentleman, exceed-
ingly popular in the community where he
lives and beloved by every employee ever in
his service. In short, he is one of those
. large souled and liberal hearted man, that
for any decent man to know, is to honor, re-
spect and admire.
Against him, is placed the Hon. Edward
Seymour, a gentleman of’ high personal
character, literary tastes and culture, and a
IaWyer of fair abilities. We have no word
of reproach or carpng criticism to ,bestow
upon the democratic nominee. lie is a
gentleman, and so far‘ as our Mr. Coe is
concerned, or we may participate in the
congressional contest, this fact shall be re-
spected and the battle he waged in a de-
cent manner. Yet a congressman to repre-
sent this important district should be much
more than a mere gentleman, with a cloister
and college familiarity with books. He
shouldbe a wise, sagacious, clear-headed
and upright business man. Just what LY-
nan W.- Con preeminently is. He has serv-
ed our State repeatedly and well,in either
House of our State Legislature, and it was
an honor clearly earned and fully merited,
when the republicans of this district brought
forth his name and demanded that he should
“go up higher." Business‘ men, working
men, gentlemen, one and all, vote for LYMAN
W. 00E, as the fittest and best exponent of
the truest business interests of our district.
W ‘
E. L. Scofield,
Republican candidate for Senator in the 12th
district, comprising as re-organized, the
towns of Greenwich, Stamford, Darien,
New Canaan,{ Wilton and Ridgefield, is
making a vigorous canvass, and if the voters
of that district are not dolls they will elect-
him overwhelmingly ,over his Democratic
competitor. Mr. Scofleld is a young man of
superior abilities and of winning manners,
and to know him is to like him. He has
already made a first class reputation in the
lower House Of the Connecticut legislature
and the people of that district will do them-
selves credit by bidding him to go up higher.”

over the country on Friday last. that the N.

to be a four track road from the junction of
their Harlem River track to Norwalk, and
not stop at Stamford, as telegraphed. ,

Among the pleasantrics that were bandied
about at the aged gnests' “tea party” at Mr.
and Mrs. Eli B. Bennett's, was thainjunction _
that our venerable friend, Capt. Hubbell,
(who was present, with his natural force not
abated,) shOuld take his pick for a wife from
among the widowed sisters present. We
thought at the time that the Captain took
kindlyto the bantering suggestion, but it was
not until we saw him in his buggy skimming
along the avenue with one of the aged girls
who was present with him at the Bennett
party, by his side, and then observed that he
was repainting up his fine residence and
“sprucing up"generally,that we felt thatthere
was any thing really serious to the Captain
likely to grow out of that most enjoyable and
most remarkable gathering at Mr. and Mrs.
Bennett’s. It may not be fair to aged boy or
maid. yet we cannot refrain from calling the
Captain’s attention to the warning words of
the senior Weller: “Beware of widders."
Mr. and Mrs. Charles 0. C. Belts, have re-
turned from their month's visit to their sons
Edward and Charles, near Pueblo, Colorado.
They left their children well and hopeful for
the future, but the parents still prefer old
Norwalk, with all its drawbacks, to spy place
in the mighty west.
Miss Nellie Welton and Miss Dikeman, are
visiting friends in town.
Mrs. Ora Ebell has returned to town after
a pleasant vacation absence.
Mrs. Langtry the English actress and no-
ted beauty, called the “Jersey lily” arrived
in New York on Tuesday. ,
Walter J. Fitch and Henry C. Randle,
Esqs., served on the Superior Court jury at
Bridgeport, all last week and will return to
duty there again to-day. ’
Rev. 'Br. T. S. .Childs has removed his
family for the winter, to 1,449 Massachusetts 1
avenue, Washington, D. C.
Bridegroom Brown has returned from his
bridal tour to the hum-drum life of clerk in
Randle’s grocery store again.
Our popular druggist H. S. Bette, left
Thursday morning for Florida where he

gal of the Baptist Church, is to occupy the
housoduring their absence. -
Prof. Gibson.
At the next Organ ‘ Recital, this Tuesday.
evening, Mr. Gibson will play amongother
pieces, the following of special interest:
Overture. William Tell, Variations on a
Scotch Air (Annie Laurie) written by Mr.
D. Buck and, dedicated by him to Mr.
Gibson, and Communion in G by‘ Batiste.
Miss. Scott will_sing “0,for the Wings of a

Congregational Church Supper.
A social supper is to be given on Friday
evening of this week at the Congregational
Church Parsonage on East Avenue adjoining
Capt. Hubbell's homestead. The supper is
the first of a series of four entertainments
to be given by the young ladies of the
church with the purpose of raising money
for the benefit of the church. Their object
being a worthy one, we trust their endeavors
may not only be most liberally seconded,
but meet with unbounded success.
m-
Muslc Hall.
Manager Knapp. with his usual effort to
please the public taste, has succeeded in in-
ducing the Boston Theatre Company to give
the Norwalk theatre goers a sight of “The
World,” which they can have at Music Hall
Wednesday evening. The play is a fine one!
and the beautiful scenic effects. serve to
astonish as well as delight the audience. In
the raft scene, the putting about of the res-
cuing ship is as fine a contrivance of.stage
manipulation and mechanism as we have ev-
er seen. We assure orn- friends that their
time and money will be well spent in seeing
“The World."

The Methodists,—who, by the way, al-
ways give good entertainments,——fairly out-
did themselves last Tuesday and Wednes-
day cvaninge. Their literary and musical
entertainment was simply delightful, and
well merited, the abundant success it re-
oeived. Where there were so many enjoyable
features it is hardly fair to particularize, but
the readings of,Miss Lancashirc were beyond
expectation, and to us, ,thc feature of the
entertainment. The supper was also good
and liberal, as Methodist suppers always
are, and we noticed, they were appreciated
by many other hungry mortals' besides the
village editor. Our gratitude goes out to
Burgess Adams for having invited us into
such unaloyed delights.

Senator Frye of Maine has just returned
from a stumping tour throughIOhio and
Indians, and is now taking a hand in the
Massachusetts campaign. He delivered his
first address in the Rstate at Waltham Mon-'
day evening, contrasting the records of the
parties and making an eloquent exposition
of republican doctrine. We quote the fol-
lowing brief passage ‘from his speech as
having a special significance for Connecticut
voters : > .,
“I have just come from Ohio. What was
the issue in that. state? This one couldn't
sell leather on Sunday; this one couldn't
keep his store open for the transaction‘of
business, and this and that business was pro-
hibited on Sunday. But, there wasThone
ere
Sunday, and did an excellent business,be-
cause the day was an excellent day for it.
And why? Simply because the labofing
men draw their pay Saturday nights. The re-
publican party said: 'This is not right; the
rum seller has no more right to sell rum
than the leather dealer to sell boots and
shoes, or than any other merchant has to.
keep his store open and to trade.’ The
democratic party did then what it always
does, took the opposite side: They beat us,
and they may rejoice in such a victory if
the will, but I say to them that there is
- stil aGod in Israel. and such an infamous
vict r will soon turn into ashes, and out of

ber. Young Riley was only 17 years old
yesterday, and as he has been at sea but a
year, his early promotion speaks well for his

The people, or the respectable portion of
them, devoutly hoped that when the ,Guitean
trial and execution were over that the Sco--‘
ville-Guitean crowd would drop into the
obscurity which best befits them, but
through the divorce proceedings now pend-
ing in Chicago, the Scovillea are bringing
themselves before the public gaze again and
this time, in their mutual criminationa and
recriminations, they pose in an, infinitely
more disgusting attitude than at any, time
heretofore. Andyetitis an open question
as to which is the more disgusting. the par-
ties themselves\ or the way in which the
newepapers rifsh them and their family mat-
ters before the eyes of the people.
Improvements on the Line of the
Consolidated Railroad.
InJanuary lastwe gave our readers the
first information of the proposed changes in
the line and grades of that portioniof the
consolidated road between New Rochelle and
New Haven. Siné that timela thorough
survey has been completed, and ata meeting
of the Directors of the road held omWed-
nesday last the changes of line and grade as
shown by the maps, were adopted. and pro-
posals for bids for the work are to be issued
at once. ’ _
The changes we then enumerated have
been modified in only one case, that of the
line through Bridge rt. As now determin-
ed upon,'a new-don to track for,_ freight
trains will be bdilt from New Rochelle to
Norwalk, thus making the road between
these two points four tracked, many of the
sharp curves between Mamaroneck and Strat
ford, will be greatly reduped or entirely
taken out, and in some cases a newline of
road built. The heavy. grades between Port
Chester and Westport reduced. The heavi-
est grades, that between Port Chester and
Stamford, now 46 feet to the mile, will he
reduced to 20 feet per mile, and the whole
road ballestcd with stone. At Bridgeport it
is probable that a new line will be run.
through the northern portion of the city, so
as to avoid the building of snow draw-
bridgc; the new line is to be used for frgight
trains. Some radical changes will be made
at South and East Norwalk , and when made
the new station [atuthe latter place will be
established. The whole cost of these
changes will be from two to threc‘millions of
dolla'rs,‘and when completed will enable the
company to, reduce ’the time of express
trains between New York and New Haven,
about one-half hour. The stone ballasting
of the road will do: away with the clouds of
dust that have so annoyed passengers in the
summer months. By an amendment of the
general railroad law, made at the last session
of the legislature, the land required to build
prove .line, of sight, as at South Norwalk,
and to make changes in the line, can be
taken b appraisal, in the same manner that
lands can be taken to build new railroads.

Attempt to Wreck a Train.
Saturday night, the 8 o'clock accommoda-
tion train from New York, when about half
way between Fairfield and Bridgeport ran
against a do which some fiend had placed
on the track. The engineer saw the obstruc-
tion, but not in time to stop the train. The
pilot struck the tie with force almost throw-
ing the engine from the track. When the
train stopped passengers in great fright ran
out to see what was the matter. Fortunate;
ly the accident was not very serious. The
tie was so strongly wedged into the pilot that
half an hour's hard work was required to
take it out.

l lThess two episodes came under my notice
in-the course of last Sunday :—
1.—A Sunday-school teacher said to me,
speaking of a boy of sixteen, “I have beento
see his mother, and she says he will not come
to Sunday-school, and that she cannot make
him come.”
2.—In the evening, when the minister had
nearly finished. his discourse, three boys,
neither older than twelve years, entered the
gallery and sat near the door. They paid no,
attention to the impressive sermon, but con:
tinned i laughing and disturbing all who
near them, until the sermon :was al-
most cdncluded, when they arose and went
out. .
