The high wind of last week drove many vessels into our harbor for shelter. The cabin tables of these vessels were covered ' with newspapers, showing that the presi- dential contest excitement was not confined to those who remain on shore. The New York Sun charges that Wm. H. Vanderbilt gave Barnum’s democratic, committee $150,000, and Jay Gould $100,- 000 more, a few days only before the elec tion. This may account for democratic d money being so plentiful here in Norwalk on election day. . A hurricane has prevailed on the sound during the past week, and vessels of all descriptions have experienced rough times. It has been almost impossible to make regular trips, and frequently the vessels had to put into convenient harbors to escape the fury of the gale. With White’s Bridgeport band to fur- nish music, Hope Hose company expect to have a splendid time at their twenty- fifth annual ball at the Opera House to- morrow evening. In the past this com- pany have given excellent entertainments, and to-morrow evening’s will undoubted- ly be no exception. —We consider the “ Sky Bluing Boo ” a wonderful discovery. Never before has an ultramarine bluing been produced that was sedimentless. Now you can have the beautiful bltte of the ball bluings, without the sediment which spots the clothes. Get a book from R. P. Beatty, grocer, Norwalk, Conn., and try it. The Washington express, due in New- Haven at 11:40 p. m. last night, struck an unknown man, supposed to be a tramp, near Meriden. The engineer felt a slight jar, but did not stop. When the train ar- rived at New Haven the car inspectors discovered blood on the wheels, and men were sent to look for the body. The rooms of the Phoenix Engine com-~ pany on Main street have recently been refurnished, and, with the new wall paper put on since the spring fiood which dam- aged the rooms so greatly, they present an admirable appearance. Everything is as clean and neat as a new pin, and the Phoenix boys may well pride themselves upon having the finest reception rooms of any in town, either public or private. Owing to the strong northerly winds and other causes the tides were very low and long last week. Clam diggers have made good catches. All along the Long Island coast the oystermen have thrown away their tongs and are picking oysters out of the bottom of the sound with their hands, The oldest fishermen and boat- men in this part of the state‘never saw the like. Some think that the receding of the water presages an earthquake—Bridge. port News. , . Beginning yesterday, the New York and New England railroad Will run a new train, to be known as the “New England Linlited," in connection with the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, ~ between Boston and New York by way of the “Air Line," leaving either city at 3 p. m., and being due in each at 9 p.m. The train will be run through in both direc- tions without change of cars, and will makeno stop between Boston and Willi. mantic. The putting on of these trains make a notable addition to the facilities of communication between the two'cities. The skating rink on West avenue is fast growing into popular favor, and is nightly crowded with hosts of young (and old also) folks, who enjoy the pleasure of skating without ice, and in a warm and comfortable room. The building is suffi- ciently commodious to allow a large num- ber upon the floor, while benches ranged along the sides of the wall serve as resting places for spectators. Stoves have recent- , ly been put up in order to render the air comfortable during these frosty nights, and the temperature of the building is kept at a normal point. The floor is smooth and well kept, and no disorderly or boisterous persons are allowed within the building. In fact the proprietors, Messrs. Palmer and Haller, bend all their energies towards making their rink a pop- ular place for healthful amusement. And the success of their efforts is apparent from the character of the ladies. and gen- tlemen who patronize it. " - harm. See adv. apples wanted. Look out for shooting stars Thursday night.

' Dr. Augustus Abernethy,‘ a prominent Bridgeport physician, died early yesterday morning. He was a member of the board of education for twelve years and had served in the legislature. On Saturday a daughter of Mr. John H. , Ferris, city, discovered a fire in a closet adjoining the sitting room of his house. The flames were subdued by the inmates of the house without taming in an alarm. We hear a number of hitherto republl-_ can voters, who were inveigledlnto voting against us, are now whimpering over their folly and exeusing their actions by saying that they never dreamed it would do any This time it is —B.

N o streaks, no greenish tinge, and a perfect ultramarine blue. We know, for we have tried it. Of one thing we may be sure—that if the honest vote of this country has been given to either candidate, by however small a majority, he is going to be inaug- urated peacefully, with the support of all good citizens.——Tribunc. The management of the steamer Harlem have changed their down-town landing from pier 27 to pier 39. The latter'is a covered pier and, will afford protection to: passengers and freight in stormy weather. The change is for the better. The brakemen and men employedabout the New Haven depot indulged in a snow- balling match on Thursdaynight with genuine snow. It was taken from the' cars of the Montreal express, which were covered with snow. Banks of 'snow were on the break beams, showing that the train had passed through a heavy storm after leaving Montreal. ‘ The decision of the United States Su- preme’ court'that an appeal cannot be taken from the commiSsloner, of patents to the secretary of the interior is recog- nized as one of great importance, and contested cases will henceforth ,pass more rapidly from the patent ofilce to the courts, where the value of every important patent is usually tested, sooner or later. , One Bridgeport man who voted the pro- hibition ticket was heard to observe yes. terday. that if Cleveland Was elected he would never forgive himself for voting as he did. That is just about the way a great many so-called reformers or temper- ance voters express themselves. They didn’t want to see Cleveland elected, yet they were just fools enough to sneak around and help put him in power. Con- sistency. is not a virtue possessed by all the prohibitionists.—-Standard. Three little grandsons of the late Gov. Bissell had quite a lively experience with their donkey recently. ,A little too many of Dann’s stimulating oats,a too protracted rest, and the exhilaration of seeing his brevet uncle, in the shape of a rapidly disappearing horse, so inspired the donkey that he kicked up his heels, elevated his huge ears and emaciated candle appen- dage, and ran away. In turning a short corner he,upset the boys, breaking its cart, but doing little other harm. It was as exciting while it lasted as a donkey race at Donneybrook Fair. Captains and pilots of steam vessels navigating the sound claim that the new electric light erect? and operated by the government on Ha et’s Point, Hell Gate, is a nuisance. It lights up the surround- ing country and the river and sound for miles, and casts a glare in the pilot house, which renders outside objects almost in- visible, while the point itself, Flood Rock, the Hog’s Back and other perils are only left in a deeper gloom on which the beacon sheds no light whatever. The light is claimed to be wrong in inception and an error on the part of the Light House Board, and will probably be the subject of protest. Colonel Allen's vote for congress in the New Haven district is quite remarkable in view of the fact that he had scarce two weeks to make his canvass, ' and was shoved into the gap without a fighting chance to win. Cleveland led Blaine in the district 2,628, and Waller led Harrison 2,828, while on a total congressional vote of 43,768, Mitchell led Allen only 2,057. It is reported that had not Mitchell’s long purse been freely used to hold his own party vote, enough would have stampeded to have elected Col. Allen. It is certainly most creditable to the patriotism of so many New Haven democrats that they preferred and voted for a Union soldier for their congressman, rather than a money bags free trader. ' ' Rice’s Surprise Party, No. 1, is billed to appear at the Opera House on 'Friday evening, in “A Bottle of Ink.” For gen- uine mirth and fun these little surprise parties of Mons. Rice verily “take the biscuit.” The Fall River New says :— Another big house attested the popular- ity of the latest succesfi‘ ‘A Bottle of Ink,” last night at the Bijou, Boston, and to judge b the expressions of the faces of the au ience as they left the theatre, it was eas to be seen how highly they en- ,joyed r. Mackay, the eminent comedian, and Mr. Rice’s superb organization of first class artists. Arather happy efifect was added to the pie last night in the follow- in way: The rat act of “A Bottle of 'I ” is set in a newspaper office, and dur- ‘ing the performance genuine election tele— ms were handed by a messenger boy to the editor, played by Mr. John A. o ‘Mr.Mackay’s clever and witty impromptu comments 'on the news kept the audience in excellent good humor. His last one, however; completely brought down the house, and won for him two deserved calls before the curtain. It went as fol- lows: “Great excitement in New York! Belva Lockwood fainted on receipt of news that she'had received one vote. She will stem the tide of Salt river in com- pany with Ben. Heury'Dixey.” ‘ Mackay, who read them to the audience.’ It Points to Blaine. The latest returns from New York are all favorable to republican success and are calculated to furnish ground for a reason- able belief that the 36 electoral votes _ of that state will finally be declared in favor of Blaine and Logan. Saturday a recount of the vote of the city of New York was completed at police headquarters, and reduced Cleveland’s plurality by 425. The official vote of Liv- ingston county gives Blaine 1,213 plurali— ty, as against 1,158 heretofore claimed as the correct figures by the democratic press. The verified returns in the county clerk’s office cut down Cleveland's plurali- ty in Sullivan county from 847, as claimed in Saturday’s democratic papers, to 275. The plurality for Blaine in Essex county is now reported at 1,775, where he has heretofore been credited with only 1,650. Corrected returns from Delaware county increase Blaine’s plurality from 968 to 978. The official vote of Hamilton county re- duces Cleveland’s plurality to 46. In the Twelfth ward of Albany a change of 120 votes was made to count out a local re- publican candidate, and if the vote of that ward is thrown out, the loss to Cleveland will be 388. In the Fifth ward. of Kings. ton there were 91 more votes in the box . than there were names on the polling list. A recount in Brooklyn shows a slight re- duction in Cleveland’s plurality. Thus far the corrected figures in nearly every case show that there were errors against Blaine in the original returns, and the republican national and state committees feel entirely warranted in the belief that the official canvass, which will be begun to-morrow, will support their claim that New York state is for Blaine by a plurality of about 1,000. ' Greenwich’s Barn‘Burning 0am. The famous barn-burning case of Mead agt. Husted, which has been so long in the courts, having been tried and retried three times, has been settled within the last day or two by Hunted paying Mead’s ‘ lawyer over $6,000, the: amount of the verdict and costs. This is the result of the suit in which Mead accused Husted of burning his barns. David S. Husted owns a small farm near the village. Some of his land adjoined that of Mr. William Rockefeller, and next to his famous track. Mr. Rockefeller has obtained possession of this plot, comprising thirty or thirty- five acres, paying a good sum for it. It was with $6,000 of this money that the suit was settled. There is another case pending against Husted, brought by Mead, accusing Hus. ted of burning the barn which was fired in February last. The town of Greenwich became intensely interested in this barn- .burning business, and a special town meeting was calledlast spring, at which $500 was appropriated to investigate the burning of this barn, and $2,000 reward was offered for the discovery of the in- cendiaries. One of 'Pinkerton’s detectives has been at work on the case, and made a report last summer, giving the impression that he had obtained no decided clue im- plicating David S. Husted. The detective is now on duty there, and the result of his labors is awaited with no little interest. Our Representatives. Norwalk’s representatives in the next general assembly will be Platt Price, democrat, and A. J. Crofut, republican, which is a democratic gain of one. The causes which led to the defeat of Mr. Gunning, the republican candidate at this end of the town, were many and varied and of them it is useless to speak. But it cannot but be said that all through the canvass Mr. Gunning has acted the part of an honorable man. Though aware of a surety of his election by the trading of votes he in every case refused to be a party to the scheme, and his earnest and entire work was put in' for the whole re- publican ticket. This deliberate sacrifice of himself for the success of the ticket has to a large degree turned the feeling aroused by the incidents of the caucus at which he was nominated, and we are sure if at any, future time Mr. Gunning should ask the suffrages of his townsmen he will at least receive his full party vote. It always pays in the end to be a man, and a man Mr. Gunning has proved him- self. ~ The Result in Connecticut. Bya plurality of 1,247 votes Grover Cleveland carries off the electoral vote of this state. The democratic state ticket, however, falls some 900 short of a majori- ty, and the election of state ‘ofiicers is therefore thrown into the legislature. This latter being strongly republican, in- sures the election of Hon. Henry B. Har- rison for governor and the balance of the republican ticket. In the first district Buck, rep., defeats Eaton, dem., for con— gress, and Wait, rep., is re-elected in the third. In the second Mitchell, dem., is re-elected by a greatly reduced majority, while in the fourth Seymour, demv is re- elected by 241. In this latter district the republican candidate, Lyman W. Coe, made a splendid run, in every town run- ning ahead of his ticket. Had he not beed handicapped by prohibition treach- ery, he would have been triumphantly elected. __<+»____ Mr. Fen-endows statement. Secretary Fessenden of the national committee was asked yesterday concom- ing the election and the committee’s claims. Speaking for the committee, he denied in the most positive terms the ly- ing reports that he had found circulated all through Connecticut, to the effect that the election of Mr. Cleveland was conced- ed by the national republican committee. He said the committee had never for a single moment believed any such thing or conceded any such thing in the remotest way. They were insisting on a fair count —-nothing more and nothing less—and were certain that Mr. Blaine is the choice of the people of New York and of the country. Suspension of nBLnklng House.

The house about to be erected by Mrs. Milliner Betta, just west of the Wm. K. James homestead, will be substantially similar to the Dr. Nolan house across the street, the tower being omitted. The Norwalk democratic patriots are already busily at work, we are told, par- celling out the local ofilccs, but the chief prize, the post ofilce is in difficulty, be- cause so many want it. The three leading candidates are said to be Honnecker,Requa and A. H. Camp. Farron S. Betta, son of Capt. A. A. Betta,- has resigned his position in the National Bank of Norwalk and accepted a position as bookkeeper in a large lumber mill in the northwestern part of Wisconsin. He arrived there on Thursday last at noon and found snow two inches deep and plenty of ice on the ponds. It is believed hereabouts that General S. R. Smith will be adjutant general on Gov- ernor Harrison’s staff. As Colonel W. H. Tubbs of New London is the senior colonel of the brigade, a thorough and experienced soldier, it is reasonable to suppose that he will succeed Smith as brigade general. He is in every way qualified for the posi- tion and deserves promotion—Norwich Bulletin. ' Sharp Boys. Canton and Avon are adjoining towns in the Litchfield Mountains that are infest- ed with woodchucksu The selectmen of each town offered bounties of fifty cents for each woodchuck killed. The Avon Ielectmen required as proof the wood- chuck’s tail, while the Canton select-men demanded the deposit of the ears. For the past year there have been unusually large demands upon the town exchequer for bounties in each of these towns, and, when by accident. the Canton selectmen and Avon selectmen met and compared notes, they found. by a singular coinci- dence that the numbers of falls submitted to the Avon solectmen was precisely the same as the number of pairs of cars shown up to the Canton omcers. Investigation showed that when the Avon boys caught a woodchuck they cut off its ears and tail, and the Canton boys did the same thing, and then they swopped ears for tails. Thus one woodchuck did double duty. The selectmen of both towns, with great dignity, thereupon decided to pay no more bounties for woodchucks, and the farmers are indignant thereat. ——-—-—4.>—-—-— A. Hunter Found Dead in the Woods. Wannarmr, Nov. 10.—At about 5 o'clock last night aparty of men found the body of Frank Cook, aged 21, lying in the woods near Bantam Lake, Litchfieid. Cook, whose home is in Watertown, had been living for some time in a hut near the lake. On Thursday last he started out with his gun and dog and had not been heard of since. His dogwas keeping guard over him and was almost starved. , At first he would allow no one to approach the body, proving impervious even to-the bribes of meat, despite his fnmished condition. Medical Examiner Gates, of Litchficld, was called, and concluded that the man had been killed by the accidental discharge of his gun while climbing a stone well. There are a few peculiar circumstances, however, which point to murder. His cartridge belt and coat had been torn off and were twisted about his body as though done in a scuffle. He had lived a kind of hermit’s life, and was be- lieved to have had some money, but no money was found in his hut. —-—————-—<+>————- A Distinction Without a Difference. He was a dude and no mistake. And he was one of those independent dudes whose moral purity was shocked at the nomination of Mr. Blaine, and who there- fore on election dayforsook his republi. can friends and voted for that great moral reformer Maria exuse us, we mean Grover Cleveland. As the ragged and greasy crowd swept past the Gamma Ofllco on Friday night celebrating the supposed election of the great poor house advocate by a miscellan- eous parade of men and boys, the dude stood on the sidewalk “taking it in.” A gentleman, noticing him, stepped up and said-— “Well, , why don't you join in with your brethren and celebrate ?" “Aw !” said the dude, “I thank you! But aw don’t bwelong to that crowd you know.” And as the gentleman moved off muttering something about a distinction but no difference, the dude sucked the knob of his gold headed cane and won- dered where the laugh came in. . _____._....__——— }. A Bistros-inc Accident. On Saturday morning as Michael Dowd, a workman in Simond’s Foundry, was at- tempting to run a belt on a pully, he be- came entangled in a larger belt close by. Inan instant the unfortunate man was carried to the ceiling and his body began to revolve around the shafting. Some fellow workmen’ran to his aid and finally succeeded in extracting him from his perilous position, though not before he had received terrible injuries. His left arm was torn of above the elbow the bone protruding some three inches from the flesh. He was conveyed to his home and Dr. Baldwin summoned, who subsequently amputated the arm at the shoulder. It is feared that Dowd has suffered internal injury, but he seems to be getting along nicely, and the doctor says he may entirely recover. —-—~———<+>-————— Klulon Work.

The treasurer of the Fairfield County Agricultural Society will commence the present week to send out checks for all premiums awarded at the late fair, as we are informed by President Ely. We think this :is a wise course to pursue although the bad weather left the society in very straightened financial circumstances; Of course any one feeling willing to donate the amounts of their premiums the same will be gratefully received and will go towards securing a more attractive exhibi- tion next year. —__.+.___— For Future Reference. Without the inroads upon its strength made by the prohibition vote, the republi- can party would have carried every north- ern state with, possibly, the exception of New Jersey. As it is, we lose Connecti- cut, Indiana, New Jersey, and possibly New York and the election. Let every good republican remember this when ap- pealed to for aid by the temperance party hereafter. ——-————<¢--————— Notlco “Advertisers. .

The Methodist Society held their fourth annual Harvest Festival on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of last week. In spite of the election excitement the at- tendance was large and the receipts amounted to about one hundred and fifteen dollars. On Friday of last week a man from Boston came down to Filley’s to purchase a stove. He unhitched his horse from the from the wagon and fastened him to a post in the foundry yard. After carefully covering him with ablanket he proceeded to load up the stove, which performance having been successfully accomplished, he went for his horse, when lo and behold,no horse there. Search and inquiry elicited the information that the horse had been seen in the village on ' its wayAhome leaving portions of the blanket at intervals along the road. We failéd to learn where he was found. 0 CW3 runs. '1‘. B. Wakeman on his farm this year grew 3,000 barrels of onions, 500 bushels of com, 000 bushels of wheat, 8,000 quarts of strawberries, 2,000 quarts of raspberries and 20,000 pounds of grapes. Mr. E. CfiElwood, of Greene Farm, has just received a patent, through the oflce of A. M. Wooster, Bridgeport, for a seed drillwhich has several novel features. The main wheel is provided upon its spokes with a series 01 lifters, and upon the inner side of its rim with cams corresponding in number with the lifters. Upon the end of the agitator lever is a ing :which is adopted to be engaged by both the fitters and came, to vibrate the agitator within the hopper. The operation is as follows: As the drill is moved forward the main wheel rotates from right to left, causing the lug on the lever to strike the lifters upon their upper faces and slide up the incline, throwing the lug nearly to the rim of the wheel where it is struck by one of the cams and thrown back, in this manner the agitator arm is kept constantly in motion. When the drill is not sowing seed a lever catches in a notch in the agitator lever and holds it midway between the lugs and cams, so that the wheel may be rotated without moving the agitator. Below the hoppers and working in suitable guides is the slide which regulates the flow of seed. Underneath this slide is a truth! which acts to entirely stop the flow of need when turning at the end of the rows or going to and from the field. The seed conveyors are of ordinary construction and are adjustsbly secured to the shares. The coverers are made separately which hall was filled to its utmost capacity. , bterpretation of the meaning of words. and create a great deal of harmless amuse- uneven ground. the coverers comes the roller which presses the earth down upon the seed, the concave as may be most desirable. A cross rod which is secured to the frame which supports the roller, carries a scrap er which cleans the soil from the face of the wheel. The depth at which the seed is to be deposited is determined by the adjustment of the cross-rod in connection with the share at the lower end of the conveyors. The whole forming an ex- ceedingly simple machine and one that will not be liable to get out of order. W Apathy and Treachery. Rev. Dr. McMurdy has been a daily at- tendant at the republican headquarters since the campaign ‘0 ned, and his opin- ion carries copsi crab e weight with his friends. “It as m belief," he said this mommg, “that Bill e has been elected, but the race has been so close, and the mass of fl 3 from the thousands of dis- trlcts in t e state so enormous, that no one can speak with a certainty till we have the official count. No two newspapers agree on the same figures. “If Mr. Blame has been beaten," he continued With some feeling, “the result 15 due to apathy on the part of his friends and treachery on the part of his pretended friends.

The Tobacco Ago says: Acigor flavor has become a necessity with every cigar manufacturer. Smokers demanded a good flavored cigar at a low price. Havsnatobaoooistoohighprioodto ted as far as possible with our long list of aromatiogums, refine. oils, etc; There is no good reason why a perfectly healthy and pleased flavor may notbo compounded and added to the filler of a cigar that will so nearly resemble the genuine Havana that even experts find it difficult to detect the difi‘erenoe. Most of the flavors on the market are com- pounded of volatile substances which quickly evaporate and leave the cigar as poor in flavor as though a flavor had never been used. The compounders of such staff do not understand the chemistry of either tobacco or the m terials they use for these flavors. If they did they would discard all sub- stances that would evaporate and not re- main in the cigars. Thoperfumeof compounds produce some beautiful per- fumes, but he aims to producer: bouquet that will please the sense of smell only. The compounder of cigar flavors must produce his bouquet in the smoke or by the combustion of his mat'erials. A beautiful cigar flavor need not have any smell at all until the cigar is lighted, and one that smells very nicely totho nose might smell poorly when smoked. Colognes have a beautiful banquet and yet they do not make suitable cigar flavors. An excellent cigar flavor can be compounded so cheap that there is no excuse for manufacturers palming ofl upon their customers a clear seed cigar. um Kmonnsn war. There is little of love or sentiment in Kirgheso courtship. A batch of kins- men of the would-be bridegroom ep- proaoh the parents of the chosen one with presents. and among them a dish of liver and mutton-fat, which signifies that they mean matrimony. The compliment is returned. and the kinsmen of the bride decide what amount of kalim shall be paid to her parents. This may vary from forty to one hundred and twenty sheep, or from nine to forty-seven head of larger cattle, at lemt two-thirds of evening. A matter of interest to every which have to be Pfid at once.

No printed periodical can take the place of parent, pastor, or school-teacher; but a mag- azine can supplement their work and influence to a wonderful degree. In view of this, it is not extrav- agant to say that—instead of “Can we afford to take Sr. Nrcuonss f"-—-the question of every earnest household in English-speaking countries, to-day should be“Can we afford not to take Sr. Nrcuonssf’ The magazine, during the eleven ha py years of exlstence, under the editorial charge of) mar MAPES DODGE, has grown familiar to hundreds of thousands of young readers; and their interest and intelligent enjcgnent have constantly inspired the editor and ab hers to fresh effort. To-day, its strength is its wholesome growth. Its sympathy with young life, its hearty rec tion of the movement of events, and its stead y increasing literary and pic- torlal resources.
