Venerable Dames.
Among all the good people of Nori
walk, .who received the congratulations
of friends during our holiday season,
there were none more remarkable for
their longevity,vmore cordially greeted
or more deservedly beloved and cs-
teemed, than the following trio of ven-
erable ladies, who still tarry with us,.
to give happiness and sunshine to' fam-
ily and friends, as they in life’s late
afternoon, with buoyont hOpe, and
without fear, calmly await the sunset
hour. The eldest of these good ladies
is Mrs.CarOline Chichester,aged ninety-
three. Mrs. James Mallo_ry follows,
now in herninety'second year; next
is Mrs. Charles Mallory in her ninety-
first year. Mrs. Jonathan Camp, Miss
Julia Lockwood and Mrs. William K.
James, are followingfitheir more aged
sisters, not “afar Off,” and all are in
the full enjoyment of their intelectual
' faculties and considering their venera-
ble years, alsocnjoy a remarkable de-
gree of physical health and activity.
Long may the good ladies continue to
abide with'us.
The New YorK Tribune.-
This is a good time for our readers
to get this great newspaper “founded
by Horace Greeley” in connection with
the GAZETTE. We offer a club rate for
the Weekly Tribune and the WEEKLr
GAZETTE,for the extremely low price of
one dollar per year in advance.
While the American people have
never. seen a time during which they
did not have a large array of burning
public questions to discuss, there cer-
tainly never has been an epoch, since
the Revolution, excepting that of 1861,
which has given rise to more striking
issues than the present. The Tribune
discusses the Silver, Tariff and Elec-
tions questions admirably. That great
paper fills a field of its own, and does
it well.. Readers can subscribeboth
for the Tribune and for this paper, if
they desire; and the two make an ex-
cellent outfit.
outfit; The Tribune’s market reports
are superb. Our metropolitan contem-
porary'deals with national questions
with remarkable force, ability and
courage. For 50 years it has been a
fighter and is no less so now than it
ever was. It believes that agitation,
discussion and thorough exploring of
public questions are the only path,
which leads to a wise and patriotic solu-
tion of them ; and Roswell G. Horr’s
ably-prepared and exhaustive articles
in The Tribune, on the Tarifi', Silver,
Labor, Wages, etc., will help any citi-
zen to decide rightly on the issues of
the day. The Tribune’s prOSpectus in
another column tells the story more
fully. Everyone, and especially Re-
publicans, will do well to subscribe for
The Tribune this year in combination
with this paper.
Personally Conducted Tours.
The tours advertised in the GAZETTE:
by the great Pennsylvania Railroad
Co. are the perfection Of modern trav-
el. These trips, on differing dates, to
Washington, Old Point Comfort, Flor-
ida. and California, are accompanied by
an experienced agent, who provides
“bed and board” and looks after bag-
gage and the entire ence and comfort
of the excursionists. All their wants
and every luxury and convenience, are
provided for and all the traveler has to
do is to banish care and just resign
himself to a trip of blissful ease, com-
fort, recuperation and delightful enjoy-
merit.

Westport‘s Horse Railroad.
The withdrawal of Ambrose S. Hurl-
b'itt, president of the Westport & Sang-
a mi: Horse Railroadpompany from
the company,.is explained in various
ways. Some ascribe it to the fact that
Horace Staples had succeeded in our-
chasing a controlling interest in the
stock Of the road and that he has ex-
pressed opposition to the scheme of
selling the concern to the Norwalk
Company. It is further said that par

HAPPY CHILDREN:
.__._._.——
The’County Home the Scene of ”a
Monster Christmas Tree.
A Large Number of Visitors Present
A large number of friends. and
patrons of our County Home, Visited
that well equipped and admirably man-
aged institution,Wednesday afternoon.
The Object was to help make and._to be
made happy, by the beautiful and
blessed work of giving happiness and
joy to the lives of these llttlf: 311d
many of them, worse than orphaned
children. The occasion was _a monster
Chrtstmas Tree, laden With dulis,
books, toys and games, for the eager
and expectant tots. Prior to the pre-
sentation of these gifts and the specially
provided supper, the Visitors were
escorted through all of the, various
apartments of the Home. Not the
least interesting Of these was the large,
light, and 'well warmed and ventilated
school room, where the army of bright
little faces testified to the exceiicnt
care, management and training of
their teacher, Miss Parcell and her
assistant Miss Dickerman of South
Norwalk. A visit was then paid to the
large play-room and the nursery.
Here were some fifteen little ones,
ranging from two to four or five years.
he school children were ushered into.
the play-room where they entertained
their guests by rendering songs, recita-
tions, etc., appropriate to Christmas
times, in a most delightful manner.
Many of the children showed them-
selves to be exceptionally bl‘lgtl‘.}._ln
mind and manner, and reflected decided
credit upon their instructors.
Now came the part of the elaborate
programnie, most enjoyable to all. The
little Ones with quick elastic step and
marched out
into the spacious supper room, where
every child was Seat-ed before a well
filled plate of “goodies.” Before par-
taking of the appetizrng viands, each
child with bowed head and reverently
folded hands, joined their Matron,
Miss Phelps, in saying ‘ ‘grace3 ” Deacon
Starr then offered a brief and impressive
prayer. At the conclusion of the
bountiful repeat, the gifts were dis-
iributed to each child, from the Tree.
Here the good ladies who had worked
so tirelessly to make these little ones
nappy, must have felt themselves
abundantly repaid for all their efforts,
as they looked into the glad faces and
heard the hilarious expressions Of de-
light of these now, kindly cared for
little unfortunates. ‘ _ . _
Among the many viciting ladies,
actively interested in the success Of the
nappy occasion, were Mrs. McGonigai,
Mrs. Wigham and daughter Edna, Mrs.
Noah Barnum and Miss Barnum, Mrs.
,llatthew Starr, Mrs. Fannie L. Beers,
Mrs. William ti. Byington, Miss Lewis,
.rliss Sarah Adams, Mrs. A. H. Baldwm,
Miss S. A. Guilford, and the Misses

Among the most touching incidents
of the visit was the constantrrunning
up to Deacon Starr of scores_:lol the
little ones for him to take them"? in his
arms and caress them. It plainly re-
vealed the fact that the good Deacon
was no stranger at the Home.
Especial credit is due, among others,
to Mrs. A. B. Hill, who supplemented
by the efficient efforts of Miss Dora G.
Phelps, the Matron, has given untiring
labor towards making this ogcasion
such a gratifying success. She takes a
very earnest interest in the Home.

shall first give a written guarantee that he
will, be protected from mob violence—if
trust .as retrofitted, contravenes the consti-
tution Of. th’edlfnfted ‘Stdtes,’ Which requires
the states’to surrender fugitives from jus-
tice. This refusal was the more exasper-
atlng in view of the fact that the prisoner,
Hampton, admitted the faifi of the ac-
cusatio‘i‘i‘,."agriins’ii‘_lrl;iii;"~ ,5: -
The governor says that J u "go Boomer:
ter’s arraignment Of the state of Kentucky
was unwarranted in reason and in fact.
Exasperated people in Kentucky and Ohio
had resorted to mob violence always in ex-
treme cases. : Yet the civil "authorities in

His self respectand‘ his 'regard’for the

that he should ever give any such humili-

found in an old trunk an autograph letter
of. Gen. Washington in excellent- condi-.

which he was noted. It bears the dateof
Nov. 16, 1791, and concerns the select-ion
of Richard Harrison as Auditor of the
, Treasury, besides, giving an,‘ insight into
' the political methods of the'Father Of his
Country in appointments. to office. It is
a matter Of history that Mr. Harrison
received the nomination thirteen days
later, and served through successive ad-
ministrations in that capacity till Nov.
1836, dying in Washington five years later.
The letter follows: '
Dear Sir: The office of Auditor in the‘
Department Of the Treasury of the United
States has not yet been filled. Reason-s
(unnecessary to detail at this time) have

In the old trunk where this letter was
found were several other epistles fromr
distinguished men, including one from
’Lafayette, dated Nov. 5, 1821, apparently
intended to persuade the Legislature of
Maryland or Virginia. to extend aid in
some project to Col. Robert H. Harrison.
Col. Harrison (who was an ancestor of
the lady whose will was being searched
for) served Gen. Washington as secretary,
and afterward became Chief Justice of.
Maryland, but declined the appointment
of Justice of the United States Supreme
Court.

In prescribing Paine’s celery com-
pound for a patient the other day 8.
Norwalk physician, who is a specialist
in nervous difficulties, declared that
there were thousands of such women
who were literally killing themselves
by too‘rapid moveme ts. ,
“They are not satisfied”, said he,
“with going abOut doing things in a
quiet, ordinary way but rush through
with their work and ruin their health
as fast as they can. So firmly fixed is
this habit. that they run up and down
stairs when there is no need for burr-y.
“They not only rush but worry, and
between these two subject their nervous
systems to more wear and tear than
anything short of wrought steel could
endure.”
Whatever the cause, our women, our
young girls and even business men are
rapidly growing more and more n'er-
vous. Prof. Phelps the great Dart-
mouth scientist. saw this alarming state
of things and concentrated all his ener-
gy to remedying it. It was from the
formula of this‘ eminent student and
thinker that Paine’s celery compound
was prepared;
Its success in restoring nerve-strength
and building up the worn-out body re-
paid the years of study and investiga-
tion that Prof. Phelps conscientiously
devoted to the diseases of the stomach
and the kidneys, the result of impure
blood and impoverished nerves. The
astonishing results that have come from
its careful use have been the subject of
discussion in all the prominent news-
papers and magazines in this country,
Canada and throughout Great Britain.
The record of this great blood clean-
ser, from the time of its discovery up
to the present day, has been a marvel-
ous one.
It has cured literally thousands of
cases of ne vous debility, rheumatism.
kidney and cart troubles and has made
sound sleep possible to countless men
and women whose irritable and im-
poverished nerves were slowly draining
them of vitality. ‘
