An old lady- had a narrow escape at the

leased. and the old lady had started to
cross when a gravel train from the west
came rushing through. The engineer gave
several sharp whistles. and the lady step-
ped back just in time to escape the en.
glue. The danger of running trains past
the station without stoppin is (rt-st. as

Last Sabbath it was expected by the
Congregational Society that Rev. Mr.
Hubbell of Dsnbury would preach for
them. At the time for the manning ser-
vice he had not put in an appearance. and
Er. Disbrow prolonged the organ volun-
tary in order to allow for any delay that
might have occurred. but after he had
played about twenty-five pages of a very
pretty man. he stopped. but no Mr. Hub.
bell was praent. Rev. Mr. Woolly was
present. and consented to talk to the
congregation. which he did ins most
profitable and satisfactory ner. He
announced at the close of the service that
iuthe evening he would read apaper
upon the relation of Government to the
Temperance question. A large audience
assembled and werevdl repaid in a man-
terly and coaplate argument showing
that government had no right to legis-
late in favor of an evil. but was in duty
bound tn prevent it. closing with a very
telling illunratlou of the awful eflects of
the use of intoxicauts.

The Republicans Outlook In 50.
Nor-walk. \
Editor Snmnnh—A‘l the working ele-
ments of the Republican party met. last
Saturday evening at the veteran head-
quarters. for a free expression of opinions
relative to the conduct of the political
campaign about to he more fully inaugu-
rated. the following Monday evening. in
the second voting district. The party will
not countenance a still hunt in any case.
The battle is to be an open one. They
will not only unfurl the stars and stripes,
under which the boys marched to victory
sixteen years ago. but they will proclaim
the principles by which they are actuated.
and do invite their opponents to a friendly
discussion of the principles maintained by
themsx If it shall appear that the demo-
cratic party. in the last twenty years. has
been favorable to free speech. free ballot
and civu rights of every class of citizens
in hulf of the States of the Union. they
will be the victors. and not the Republi-
cans.
The R ‘pllllllt‘flll party is to be congratu-
lated for the excellent spirit which pen
viules its ranks. All the preliminary meet-
ings of the party have been perfectly bar.
nionious. and the enthusiasm unpreceden-
ted. since the first election of Abraham
Lincoln. and it is noticeable that till the
phases of the movements of the party in
ill-Ml. seem to be but a coiiiiterpurt of those
of 1360. when Mr. Lincoln received in
Norwalk a majority of between two and
ilirw hundred.
ll “l‘lllhlli‘llllfl themselves are surprised to
find that all the eleuic'its of a successful
campaign are at work. \Vould that there
were more social gutheriiigs of Republi-
cans. Nothing so arouses the enthusiasm
of the people as to get together where
tlicy can touch elbows. It stirs them and
they move its in battle array to victory.
The gathering of Republicans Monday .
evening to organize a Garfield and Arthur
club was a grand success. The dispatch
with which the oi‘gniiixution was nfl'eetod
was significant. Evclf lilm‘ciiiclit \\'lL‘l
