Cleveland is a big man—weighs 325 pounds—but he will find the outrageous letter of Lord Sackville, the British Minis- ter, to he a beaver load than he can carry. The editor of the Cleveland Leader, refers to the editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, as “Beelzebub,” and says he is “a consistent, clever, and at times an interest- ing liar.” Ministers, lawyers, teachers, and others whose occu patiou gives but little exercise, should use Carter's Little Liver Pills for torpid liver and biliousuess.

This bare ma- jority of two has saved the business men of this nation from bankruptcy and our laboring masses from lack of work, and untold privation and want. Jerry Donovan, democrat, and Robert Pierson, republican, have entered into an argument which varies the monotony of the routine election bet. It is a bet on the date of the introduction of the Morrison bill. Pierson bets that it was introduced in 1884; Donovan bets it was two years ago. IfPierson is right, Donovan is to vote for. Harrison. 1f Donovan is right, Pierson votes for Cleveland. Of course Donovan will lose, and thus the ranks of the converts are daily swelling. As a matter of fact the original Morri- son Bill was introduced in the 48th Con- gness, First session, and was reported by Mr. Morrison in person from the Com- mitte on Ways and Means, March 11, 1884.

I thought over it long before hunting up records, historical evidence, and comtemporary life. Finally Ibegan to make it a story.” The historian, Parkman, has writtcna perface for Mrs. Catherwood's novel, and Mr. Sandham, lately of Canada and now of Boston. has made illustrations for it, and it will run through four numbers of the Century. Friday morning Wm. Mcseberg. Louis Strauss and Frederick Schuman went down the harbor in a sail boat for" a fishing excursion. When near Betts’ Island the water was so rough they decid- ed to go ashore which was only a short distance away, but before they could get there a fierce gust of wind struck the sail and capsized the boat. Meseberg and Strauss clung to the upturned boat, but Schuman in spite of the remonstrance of the others, attempted to swim ashore. He struggled desperately against the high waves, sank and came up again, and then with a despairing cry, held up his hands and sank out of sight. He was not seen to rise again. The others clung to their boat until an oysterman who was near, came in his boat to their rescue and took them off, nearly exhausted by exposure and fright.

So long as the incumbent can hope for a second term he will use the immense patronage of the Government to procure his renominatiou and secure his re—election."—-From a speech by the Hon. Allen G. Thurman, Columbus, Ohio, 1872. The community was startled on Sunday fort-noon by the report that Mr. J. Nelson Lockwood had taken his own life. He had been for several weeks incapacitated for work by reason of illness, and,:as he naturally becalne dcspondcnt, and his friends know he had contemplated suicide for some time. On Sunday morning he declined to get up, and when his wife was out of the room he deliberately shot him- self in the head with a revolver, which nobody knew he had in his possession. An autopsy revealed the fact that deceased had for acme time been afilicted with Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and it was generally accepted among the doctors that he was not responsible for his suicidal act. and could not have lived six mouihs even if he had not taken his own life. Deceased was 64 years of age, and had been for some years salismm for the great Clafiiu shoe house in New York.

The history of Judge Selleek’s business career in Norwalk would fill a large volume. The establishment which he sells has an interest for this community. Mr. Selleck established himself in business as a bookbinder in 1845, at what was then known as the “old Mother Gregory place" at the “old :spring” on Main street, the site of what is now Smith Bros. shoe store. Here he stayed until 1857, when he went to Detroit, Micln, where he carried on the book binding business with a partner under the firm name of Morse & Selleca, and afterwards with the firm of Raymond db Selleck. Here he remained until 1802, when he went to New York to take charge of the city trade of the great stationery firm of Ivison, Blakeman &Co., New York, and in 1804 he returned to his first love, Norwalk, where he bought out the firm of Knapp & Lynes, and after- wards purchased the business of A. 11. Camp, then situated at the corner of Wall and Main streets, the present location of George Plaisted’s drug store. At this 'time Mr. Selleck moved his business to the old Gazer-rs building on Wall street, which was then as now on the site of the present Gazma building. In 1868 Mr. Selleck purchased his present business edifice, and here he has been ever since, carrying on the business of stationer, book exchange, etc., with gratifying success up to the date of his sale to Mr. Piuneo. During Mr. Selleck’s business career in Norwalk he has been selected by his fel- low townsmeu to fill the positions of justice of the peace, selcciman, and, at the beginning of the late war, be aided in recruiting the Lockwood Guards, which company made an enviable record on the tented field. Mr. Selleck has served as trial justice for more than a quarter of a cen- tury, and was for more than half that period a selectmau of the town. He has also served on the staff of Gen. Craufurd and Col. Guyer Judge Selleck has a host of friends who will regret his withdrawal from active business, and who will recall, by his withdrawal, numberless reminis- cences of the olden time which are indis- solubly associated with the Selleck book store. Mr. Pinneo, Judge Selleck's successor, ‘ is a young man of wide popularity, who is abundantly qualified to carry on the business in a manner creditable to himself and profitably for the store. He Will have a new plate glass front, and will make such changes and improvements in the stock in trade as are warranted by the trade, and he may be depended upon to run the institution in a way that will guarantee the satisfaction of all cus- tomers, and hence the success of the store itself. Mr. Pinneo will unquestionably make a success of his new venture. Y. I. O. A. The following talent has been engaged by the Y. M. C A. for a dollar course of five entertainments.

Gunmz—The annual meeting of the Fairfield county auxiliaries of the Woman’s Board of Missions, which was held in Greenwich on the 5th of October, was one of exceeding interest. Reports were read from different counties, stating the amount of work done and money given. The Misses Leech, who have spent seven years in Ceylon _and expect soon to return, gave us a graphic descrip- tion of their home, schools and various phases of their duties at Manepy. showing sincere love for their chosen work, and setting a brilliant example of devotion and self sacrifice. Their earnest pleadings for more helpers, money and sympathy on the part of Christians, could not fail to touch the hearts and consciences of all present and must have their effect. The question box was a very profitable feature of the meeting, bringing out many import ant thoughts in the way of answers. A- beautiful tribute was paid to the memory of Mrs. C. R. Palmer, whose death is so deeply deplored, as she was one of the most efficient and best beloved of the officers of the board. The ladies of Greenwich furnished a generous addition to our established “basket lunch,” and reduced fares were collected by the stage drivers, and so closed another of those days, which the ladies, who are so much interested in the work of sending the gos- pel to the heathen, so much enjoy. Resource. —-———<§>—————— A Brave and Loyal Woman. The democrats of Culpcpper Va., tried to haul down the American flag a Mr. Amiss Iiad'run up on a pole in his door yard. Mr. A. was known as a republican hence,“old glory” was a floating menace to the Virginia democracy, and, fearing lest the attempt to steal it should be made, Mr. A. bad the halyards strung from his garretjwindow. Aloud rap was heard at. his door about midnight and be, opening it, met a stranger who said a friend of his ‘had been thrown from his horse and badly hurt down the road, and would he go down and help bring him to his house. His alert little wife, fearing it was a ruse of the brave Virginia democrats to get at the flag, bolted the door the instant her husband departed, but she did it none too soon as several men instantly stormed it and threatened to break it down if not admitted. Mrs. A. demanded their busi- ness when they boldly answered that they came to get that d-—-—d flag, and they would have it.” The plucky little woman as spiriteily, but less profusely, assured them that she was armed with a double barreled shot gun and would certainly shoot the first man who broke into her house. The valliant Democrats believed her and cowardly sneaked away and going down the road to their confederates found Mr. A. securely tied. They mercifully re- leased hiin and bid him “run for his life and‘d-——d Yankee wife." Mrs. Amiss is a sister-iu-law of Mr. George N. Stran— ahan of New London, long the faith ful manager of the U. 8.

Robert G Iiigcrsoll’s address- ing our citizens at Music Hall either Fri- day or Saturday night. The Cars with the Jury. In our “last word,” before the great battle is to be fought, we can only iterate what, for weeks, we have so earnestly tried to impress upon the minds and con- sciences of our readers, that this election is the most serious and august of any that has occured since Abraham Lincoln was elected president. The one great question now to be settled is shall the people of the country stand by the republican party, the only party that has always stood by the nation in its times of dircst need ? Shall the counti y go on in prosperity under protection, or be ruined by the nearest approaches possible to free trade? Shall the country follow the republican party, which supports the interest of this country, or President Cleveland and his followers. who serve the interests of Eng- land r The democratic party has placed itself in sympathy with the south, has interjected into its platform a whole section of the confederate constitution. They perfcr a theory acceptable to John Bull to the prosperity of their country. Now, instead of the flag, it is the in— dustries of the nation that are assailed, and the forces who assail those industries are not unlike the forces that assailed the republic in 1860 and 1861. We then fought the solid South and the copper~ heads of the north, and the British gov— eminent too, who were in full sympathy with them. Then the British Govern- ment combined with the enemies of the country to destroy our country and drive our commerce from the seas, and to-day they combine again with the solid South to break down our industries in the north and get control of our markets for their pauper made goods. , Again, as ever, the republican party grandly stands, for liberty, for an honest, free ballot, for purity, for temperance, for happy homes and firesides, for plentiful work and good wages, for honesty in government and for men pure and clean in their private lives and able in qualifica- tions for our candidates, for principle in everything.

A person who visits there frequently reports to a tip-printer and others that many of the merchants of Nor- walk, who were formerly republicans,- have espoused the cause of “Cleveland, free.trade and free ruin.” Among those “republican merchants" John Hounecker was named. The report was commented upon, and finally shown to be as untruth- ful and as little believed as the reports to the New York World by the South Nor. walk city reporter. The last has been an eventful week, especially for the young men who were to be made frecmen. A large number are mechanics and could not spare the time for that purpose without detriment‘ except at their dinner hour. It isa little remarkable that the room should be filled just at that hour by the boss democrat and "his men," as he called them, to the exclusion ,of all others, some of whom were compelled to lose the afternoon’s work. It is currently reported that the Rev. H. A. Delano will soon resign his position as pastor and leader of the fanatic prohibi- tion forces in this city. A'member of the W. C. T. U., of this city, accosted a gentleman who had an emblem of the glorious stars and stripes on his coat, and suggested to him to take it off, as she did not like to see it. He replied that if more men and women rev- erenced the American flag it would be better, but who ever attempted to take that symbol of loyalty from his coat would be shot on the spot. Another interesting gospel temperance meeting was held in the Temple of Honor Hall on Sunday afternoon. President Fox presided and the entire two hours were occupied with stirring and effective addresses, and singing by the choir, which is now organized permanently. The torchlight parade next Wednesday night by the republican forces of this and adjourning towns promises to be very unique and attractive in every respect. The ladies of the city are preparing to entertain about 2,000 at the armory in a sumptuous manner. The ofiicial statement of the importation of hats, given in the last number of the Halter and Farrier has caused much dis- cussion among the hat jours of this city. Notwithstanding the names of the import- ers, the name of the ship and date of arrival are given, there are a few who still assert that it is a republican lie, while the majority see plainly that just so many dozen hats less will be manufactured here. NEW-CANAAN. The item which appeared in our last week’s issue in reference to Dr. Clarence Brownson, which appeared in our New Canaan correspondence, was not contrib- uted by our regular correspondent. It appeared with his items by a mistake in this ofilce. Mr. Frank Johnson and wife are visit- ing in Massachusetts. Mr. Edwin Hoyt has been slightly under the weather during the past week. Dr. Clarence Browuson and his brother Carl rode from New Haven on the 22d on their bicycles. Monday's parade by our marching club in Stamford, and Thursday’s at Five Mile River were a success. . Mr. Hollingsworth’s residence on Park street is in the hands of carpenters and is being greatly improved. Cards announcing the marriage of Miss Edna Hoyt to Mr. H. B. Rogers. to take place at the bride’s residence on Nov. 8th, are out. Again and for the scvernltli time sealed proposals for the carrying of our mails from the post office to the depot are being received. William Weudover lost his house and nearly all of his effects by fire on Thurs- night last. The cause of the fire is sup- posed to have been a defective flue. ' The first meeting of the fortnightly literary club was held on the evening of the 22d inst, at the residence of His. Frederick Ross. German history is to be the subject of study during the winter. Wendell Brownson was home for a few days’ rest from his studies in the scientific school at Yale. He reports that for vari- ous reasons about twenty have dropped out of his class since the commencement of the term. There were only two political meetings last Week, one by the republicans and the other by the democrats, but the speakers added nothing new to the question of the hour, neither did they teach old truths in a very interesting manner. If the leaves of the trees in this Canaan were for the healing of the nations, doc- tors would be as unnecessary to the wcl- fare of the public as the election of Cleveland and Thurman. And now that the leaves are falling, “leafy walks” are considerable of a nuisance. The ever genial Rev. Charles E. Miller. a native of this place, and whose career in the ministry of the M. E. church has added lustre to the denomination and reflected honor upon this town. occupied , the pulpit of the Methodist church in this village last Sunday. Mr. Miller is known to thousands by his familiar salutation: “God bless you; how are you." BEDDING. Last Week Monday Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Jenunings returned from attending, at Bristol, the funeral [of the wife, of their son John. She died the preceding Thurs— day morniug after only a few hours illness. The preceding Sunday Mr. G. B. Pap- pazian, an Armemiun and a native of Central Turkey, and a member of the senior class in the Divinity school of Yale University, occeupicd the pulpit of the Congregational church in the absence of the pastor. ' Last week Monday evening the school visitors met and organized by the appoint- ment of Rev. N. L. Porter, chairman an Rev. W. J. Jennings, secretary. Rev. Messrs. Porter and Jennings were chosen acting school visitors; Rev. Messrs. Por- ter, Jennings and E. 1’. Shaw the examin- ing committee. Mr. Eugene Adams has commenced work on the barn at the Methodistparsonage. Mr. J. J. Rider has moved upon the place so long occupied by his father, .so that it. has not yet passed into the hands of strangers.

Friday night Mr. Joseph Mills lost a one dollar bill, which slipped from his hand while making change for a customer. Next morning he found it sticking in the mud opposite C. H. Jones’ house. IfiRufus Wakemau or any republican is nominated for judge of rebate there will be no . reason for re u litmus to mat votes for Silas B. Sherw , who is not satisfied with one office but wants to figure in half a dozen—a man who never an ported a repub- lican howeverworthy, but 8136 through life sought the elevation of democrats simply because they were democrats. The icture which Robert Relyea,‘(prob. ably Al rt Relyea of this tovm), gave a newspaperoorrespondent in a western city recently,of the political situation in (‘ou- necticut, making it look lovely for Cleve- land and doleful for Harrison, is worihv of bein hung by the side of that drawn by a. cran y local democrat, who tried to iiial 0 out that, of the 88 voters made here the first day, 69 of them were sure fir Grover. Fact is 46 of the 88' Were republi- cans. The firm of Hatch & Holmes have found it is easier to talk about leaving town after deciding to do so than it is to do it. No sooner was it announced that they intended to pull up stakes and return to Bridgepor', from whence. they came than they wcre eon~ fronted by an attachment served at the instance of President H. Staples, of the First National Bank, another by the Land and ‘ Improvement 00., who own the building, and a third by Rowland D. Lacy, of Bridge- . port. Officers representing these parties are now watching the property night and ay. Thursday evening a club of sixty inde- pendent democrats formed in Saugatuck, paraded the streets carrying torches and preceded by Heine’s band of South Norwalk. n a hack were seen the leaders of the movement to elect Captain H. P. Burr representative, should he be nominated. Among them was Mr. G. B. Smith, who, two years ago, worked to that end. In the village Roman candles and colored fires were let 0 , and guns were fired. At the rear of the procession was a large two-horse wagon dressed in evergreens and displaying lights. The houses of many republicans, but none of democrats, along the line were illuminated. The Cleveland and Thurman banner was passed in silence, but that of Harrison and Morton was cheered. Old-time democrats were out in force as spectators, and each groaned (in spirit) at the sight. The dis- play was the finest seen here this campaign. The Saugatuck contingent represents about 100 votes. The following nearly complete list of names shows the number. of aged voters, all with three exceptions now residing in town who, either as whigs or democrats, cast a ballot here or elsewhere in the campaign of 1840, and who will, if living and health permits, vote again as democrats, republi- cans, or probibitionists on Tuesday next.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls in e entitled to a much higher rate of pension than they now receive. Inagreat majority of cases in which pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is entitled to an increase of rate, and In most cases where it was granted for wounds or injuries the disability increases each year. As time passes the disability of all classes naturally increases. Many were at first rated too low. and it often occurs that (pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re- duce by examining surgeons. A pensioner is entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in his original declaration. The pension laws are more liberal than formerly, and better rating car he had for many disabilities. I make a specialty of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and if you will present me with a brief statement of our case, stating by whom It was presented, I w 11 obtain a rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit. will procure a favorable settlement. Many claims stand rejected before the department, when It only requires a competent attorney to make them cases. Soldiers wjerlna with disabilities contracted in service, who have not applied for a pension, should do so as it is their mom. SOLDIERS OI TNE MEXICAN WAR.
