Dan: GAZETTE:
This memorable 47th Congress adjourned
sine die at sharp meridian tC-day. Its great
works and its history will be limited to the
passage of the tarifi bill. It has been a
long, vcxatious, wearing and exhausting ser-
vice that the active workers on that bill have
rendered the country. In many of its de-
tails it might have been improved, but as a
whOle it is a great advance on our present
revenue laws and while it will cheapen the
prices of very many imported articles to the
American consumer, it in the main. affords a
reasonable degree of protection to our own
industries. . o
The enrolled army pensioners have been
liberally treated by the bill ;whicb Senator
Plait succeeded in getting through and in
the passage of the hundreds of indivrduai
pension claims, the past few days Of the ses-
sion. The post office bill reducing letters
to two cents has passed, and has a clause rc-
organizing the grades of the post offices
throughout the country, by reason of which
the smallest and the largest ofllces will be
allowed an increased compensation, while
those Of the grade of Norwalk, Stamford.
Danbury and the like are likely to beslightly
cut down. As the bill is not yet in print,
these several features are not accurately un-
derstood, even by members of the postal
committee themselves.
The measures which die with this Congress
will number bundreds,~even thousands. The
failing bills are mostly of a private nature,
but there some of importance to the country
generally. The bill to provide a national ed-
ucation fund is one that dies with general re-
gret.
Late last night Senator Ingalls effectually
killed the river and harbor bill and so Nor-
walk and other,Connecticut towns enumerat-
ed in the bill, get no appropriation this year.
The failure of the library bill is another
public loss. The bankruptcy bill, the ship-
ping bill, and the Utah bill are some of the
other measures which go by the board. The
bill to retire General Grant and that for the
relief of Fitz John Porter are among some of
the most conspicuous private bills that go
over. .
Among the bills that failedfiis that paying
to the Bridgeport Cartridge Company the
$30,000 owed it and admitted by the govern-
ment to be due, is the most important of any
affecting Connecticut interests. The bill
giving government permission to the Consol-
idated railroad to bridge the Thames river is
now a law. The manifold and in many-
cases conflicting interests our Connecticuh
manufacturers have had in relation to tariff
taxation have in nearly every case, been
wisely, liberally and satisfactorily adjusted.
The Beatty Brothers can now import their
straw braids and the Gilbert, Bennett & Co.
their wires for loss instead of more, than used
'to be exacted on the made up manufactured
articles. But what will soonest be experi-
enced as a relief by the public, will be the
abrogation of all - stomp. taxes. The poor
man's medicines and matches and the rich
man’s checks and cosmetics will from and
after July first ceascito require the hateful
stamp, while the tax on bank capital and de-
posits, will enable those generous, amiable
and non-exacting institutions to make the in-
vested monies of their stockholders, earn
more just and satisfactory dividends. It is
also to be hoped that this reduction Of taxa—
tian may induce our Norwalk Banks to make
loans to all their customers at six per cent.
and not limit that rate to the favored few as
now and hitherto.
From and after the first of July also, our
dealers in Matches should insist that the
manufacturing monopoly in these indispen-
sible little articles should so scale their
wholesale prices that they may be retailed to
the people for a penny a box.
' The Stamford Dye Woods Worly, or Cove
Mills, whose interests have been so assidu-
ously looked after by John H. Leeds, Esq.,
have reason to congratulate themselves on
.the successful results accomplished in the
tariff measure by reason of Mr. Leeds’ pa-
tient, persistent, discreet and manly work in
behalf of his mannfactory.
Senator Edmunds was sworn in a ttwelve,
Saturday, as acting ViceoPresident, Judge
Davis retiring twelve hours prior .to the ex-
piration of his term, for that purpose.
A much larger number of members retire
from public life with this Congress thah ever
was known before.
The death of err-Congressman Alexander
H. Stevens, of Georgia, was announcedin
the House a few moments only'prior to the
adjournment. .
The President's changes in the New York
Federal office holders and especially the re-
moval Of District Attorney Wcodford, has
occasioned much unfavorable comment.
Mr. Tabor, the thirty days “bonanza" Send
ator from Colorado, was married at Willard‘s,
to the lady who, it is said, was at the bottom
of both her own and her present husband’s
divorces,.and nowthere is a “society” and
denominational rumpus, because the fact of
the dual divorce was kept from the Catholic
priest who married them.
Representative Phelps, we are glad to say,
successfully dodged his party’s efforts to kill
the Tariff Bill by leaving for home Friday
night.
Representative elect Mitchell, (Judge P.’s
successor), and his very estimable wife, have
been here sight seeing and lfouse hunting, the
past week.
Geo. H. Cowell left for Waterbury Wed—
nesday, Gen. Harmon'and John E. Earle for
New Haven, Thursday, as did ex Senator
Barnum and Joseph Richardson on Fridays
S. W. Kellogg and John H. Leeds start for
home to—night.
Editor Graham and W. F. Rockwell ably
represented Meriden here the past week.
Ex-Senator and ~Mrs. Eaton are still here,
as are Rev. Mr. Hamilton and family, and
Dr. Childs and family.
Senator elect Tobin, of Minnesota, and for-
merly of Connecticut, is here with his family.
P. A. Gaipin, of New Haven, and H. C.
Taylor and family, of New London, are
among other visitors here.
George E. Scofield was confirmed post-
mastef at Stamford without dissent.
As ever, clc., B.
Resignation.
The Rev. C. M. Selleck has tendered his
resignation as rector of St. Paul’s Church,
the same to take effect April 1st. This
action on the part of Mr. Sellcck was not
unexpected, for it has long been known that
he desired to give more attention to the
affairs of his school which, sincehls rector-
uhip began have, by force of circumstances,
been in the hands of others. Some years ago
when he took ministerial orders, that he
might the better help his aged and distin-
guished friend, the late Rev. Dr. W. C.
Mead, this school was one of the most popu-
and successful in the State. With Mr. Sel-
Iock as its: active manager it will again,
doubtless, advance to the flourishing con-
dition which once characterized it. Seeking
- to bring this about he relinquishes a field in
which he has earnestly and honorably labor-
ed. To-morrow the wardens and vcstry of
the church will meet to take action as to Mr.
Selleck’s successor.

Dr. Board’s Farewell.
The Reg. A. F. Beard who is so well rc-
mcmbered by many N orwalk friends preach-
ed his farewell sermon to his Syracuse con-
gregation on Sunday last, ending a pastorate
there of fourteen ytarsfi On Monday even-
ing a reception was held in his honor at the
church, and his congregation and friends
flocked around him to pay their last respects
'snd bid him God speed upon his journzy.
His address for the present will be in care of

DANBURY s; NORWALK.
At the meeting of the directors Of the D.
Lockwood was elected president and Mr.
Tweedy, of Danbury, vice president. The
election of Mr. Lockwood was a surprise to
many as it was not thought that he would
accept the place if offered. There seemed
to be an almost unanimous sentiment amongst
the directors that Mr. Charles E. St. John
should have lhc place, but at the last inc-
ment, for private reasons,Mr. St. John order:
ed the withdrawal of his name, and, consid-
erable pressure being brought to bear, on Mr.
Lockwood,he signified his willingness 'to ac-
cept, and was accordingly elected. Mr-
Lockwood’s energy and business qualifica-
tions are so well known here that the fact of
the presidency being in his hands is a sufl‘lci-
'cnt guarantee Of a successful and prosperous
management of the road.
Mr. Tweedy, the vice president, is an un-
usually shrewd and competent business man
and will no doubt contribute much to mak—
ing the road a greater success than ever.
We predicl for the road under the new ad-
ministration a most prosperous and success-
ful year.
The Funeral of Miss Ely.
The funeral services of Miss Charlotte E.
Ely were held at her father’s residenc on
Washington street, city, Wednesday after-
noon, the Rev. H. N. Dunning Of the Second
Congregational Chrucb, Ofiiciating. Ho
preached an eloquent and touching funeral
sermon from the text, “And all wept. and
bewailed her ; but He said : Weep not; she
is not dead, but sleepeth." Mr. Dunning who
washer pastor, spoke long and tenderly of
the many rare and excellent qualities of the
deceased, of her charily and thoughtfulness
for others, and of her christian resignation
while passing the dark sliidOws of death's
stormy river. The sermon and services were
most impressive, and at their close the Rev.
Mr. Woodruff of NeW'York, pronounced the
benediction. The remains were taken to
Simsbury, Conn., by special car, for inter-
ment. The casket was of black cloth
trimmed with navy blue s’lk velvet with ex-
tension handles. On the lid was the plate
encased in awgant‘velvet frame with
ings were many and beautiful, and under the
direction of undertaker W. E. Quintnrd. were
most. tastefully and appropriately arranged.
On the mantel rested a representation of
“The Gates Ajar" against which rested a
photograph of the deceased—a touching and
beautiful thought. ,On either side 'of this
piece was placed an anchor and a cross while
ovor all were suspended a massive anchor,
harp and cross, representing "Faith, Hops
and Charity." At the head of the casket was
a large white floral pillow with the words
“Only Asleep" in violets, a white dove being
suspended from, the ceiling directly above.
A large floral harp stood at the foot of the
coffin with two strings broken. Many other
beautiful pieces were arranged in various po-
sitions, all seeming to lift their symbolic voi-
ces in trying to portray the sweetness and the
virtues of thelifc just closed on oarth,-in
Heaven just begun. .

An Unfortunate Fall.
As Mr. James Brogan, living on Spring
Hill, was shutting the skylights on the roof
of Crofut &Knapp’s hat factory in South
NorWalk, Saturday evening, he slipped and
fell fgim the roof breaking his right leg.
Drs. Higgins and Pardec were summoned
and on examination found that the fibula was
broken and the tibia or large bone dislocated
in such a manner that the end protruded
some two inches through the flesh. The un-
fortunate man was conveyed to his home
where the fracture was reduced and he is
now doing as well as could be expected.

hastened, doubtless, by the effects of a fall
which occurred a few days previous. Few

had labored more earnestly for the good of

to the use and powers of medicine were en-

powers of finding their causes were not more
remarkable than his rare loci. in prescribing
remedies. His skill in diagnoses and his
judgment were of such a superior order of

criands of mercy in the strict sense of that
term. He was eminent in all the natural
