Yesterday’s Elections.
General elections in ten states took
place yesterday. Some Of them were of
considerable importance, and the result
in most of them will be interpreted as in-
dicating to a considerable degree the
feeling Of approval or disapproval of the
new ttl’llllllllsll‘zllloll ofPresidcnt Harrison.
At the hour the GAZETTE was put to press
but little information as to results was
obtainable, and that. of too indefinite a
character to be Worthy a place in these
columns. New York was deemed doubt-
ful, with slight chances in favor of the
democracy in all except the legislature,
which is hopefully claimed to be republi-
can. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa and Nebraska are claimed to be re-
publican, while New Jersey, Maryland,
Virginia and Mississippi go democratic.

Rev. Dr. Noble Will Accept.
In an interview with the editor of the
GAZETTE Monday, at Washington, Rev.
Dr. T. K. Noble stated that, while he had
not sent on to the First Congregational
church, in Norwalk, what might be
termed a formal acceptance of their “call”
extended to him to become its pastor, he
had nevertheless decided to accept the
same. and expected to withdraw from his
church there and remove to Norwalk and
enter upon his pastoral duties here by the
first of the new year. The Eastern Pres—
byterian church, of which he is now pas—
tor, is paying hini the unusual compliment
ofheing. witlront a single exception in
its membership, hotly opposed to his
leaving. lev. Dr. T. S. Childs, now a
resident of Washington, in speaking of
Dr. Noble's removal to Norwalk, and
understanding full well, as its former
pastor. the peculiar needs of the First
church here, says that if Dr. Noble, with
the powerful aid of Mrs. Noble, cannot
bring this honored and venerable body up
to the point of the highest possibilities of
unity, harmony and usefulness", then no

Occurs the following interesting reference
to the Monitor:
\Vhile mentioning the cannon made at
Amesville, which were used at the seige
of Charleston. the. fact should also have
been stated that the iron which plated the
original Monitor, that little “Yankee
cheese box,” which whipped the Merrimac
in the wonderful naval battle in Hampton
toads, was made at North Adams, Mass.,
by the late John A. Beckley, father of
Samuel C. Becklcy, editor of the News,
from ores obtained in the Housatonic
Valley. The steel pointed shot from the
Mcrrimac could not penetrate the armor
plates of the Monitor, but only made dents
which revealed the fibre of the iron.

RA N DOM RAMBLING-S.
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER.
Notice a man skipping hastily down a
flight of stairs when anybody is looking.
If on the second or third stair he makes I
misstcp that threatens his equilibrium, he
gathers himself, slackens his pace and
stalks slowi . and majestically do ‘v'll the
rest Of the way—not in order to appear
cautious or afraid of falling, but with an
assumed air of unconceru calculated to
iriipress upon the beholder that he natu—
rally and invariably goes down stairs with
deliberate and dignified tread. Notice a.
man going up stairs with stately dignity
and measured tread. When he stubs his
stately toe and falls forward on his hands
he quickly gathers and skips up the rest
Of the flight with the agility of a squirrel
up a hickory tree and a matter-of—fact air
that says, “I always start that way when
I run up stairs.” It is the inherent bentof
human nature to keep up appearances and
make things. actions and impulses seem
what they are not.

In conversing with my sister’s husband
about the Linxweiler saloon incident,
where the proprietor was nearly killed by
a man to whom he refused a drink, I re-
marked that it was simply another terri-
ble warning, and should be heeded by the
young men everywhere. “Yes,” replied
sister’s husband, “it was indeed a terrible
warning: and if Linxweiler profits by it,
the next time he refuses to give a. man a
drink, he’ll change his mind and give it to
him.” I retorted that his must indeed be it
“gone caSe” if the moral pointed by so
tragic and serious an occurrence impress-
ed itself upon him in such a distorted
shape; but, just as he always does when I
undertake to talk temperance to him, he
simply laughed mockingly, put on his hat
and said he guessed he’d go down town
and meet a couple of friends, whom he
mentioned with vulgar familiarity as
“Tom” and “Jerry”——a couple of those
political cronies of his, I presume, whose
society, of late, he seems to prefer to the
companionship of his family.

SO our streets are not to be macadain,
ized immediately. Perhaps it is best that
they should not be. But let us not cease
to pray that the agitation of the subject
will result in good by stirring up the street
cleaning bureau—if we have one—to a
realizing sense of the desirableness of
keeping the streets we have open to navi-
gation.

My sister’s husband came home the
other night mad as mad could be He
had been run into and nearly knocked
down by one Of thOSe night prowling bi-
cyclists, who was evidently a new begin-
ner, on a “safety” machine. Sister’s hus-
band says he can’t imagine why they are
called “safety machines” before they are
broken to bridle, for the one he encoun—
tered not only knocked him into the gut—
ter, but kicked and bit at him after he
was beyond reach. He says it is a “wise
bicycle that knows its own rider, and
even then it may be a thing of beauty and
a son of a gun forever.”

“The labor saving logic that means ev—
erything while there’s nothing in it,” as
Sour Krout styles my Observation on the
fall styles, drew him into the trap, as it
was designed to do, and his lengthy and
prosy criticism Of the “philosophy which
philosophy was not,” demonstrated his
gullibility. The immortal Lord Dundreai-y
used to ask: “Does your brother like
cheese? What! you have no brother?
Well, if you had a brother, would he like
cheese '3”

It is indeed gratifying to know that the
membership Of our local Young Men’s
Christian Association is growing so rap-
idly. Let us pray for faith to believe that
the number of our local Christian Young
Men has increased proportionately to the
increase Of membership, and that all the
members Of the Young Men’s Christian
Association are Christian Young Men.

I detest the man who smokes a pipe on
the street, and I detest the man who does
not join me in that deteslation.

As Sour Krout is such a logical dissecter
Of obscure philosophy, I would like to ask
him a question: In view of the fact that a
goat’s tail is neither a protection nor an
ornament to the animal, why does a goat
have any tail at all?

Sister’s husband, who is a sort of a
crank on military matters, says he would
like to see Gen. Olmstead iu the position
Of Quartermaster General just now when
the crisis of affairs in the First regiment
demands backbone and grit in the stall? of
chief executive officers. He says it will
never do, no matter what the circumstan-
ces, for a soldier to lose sight of the truism
that a soldier’s first duty is Obedience to
orders, be those orders what they may.
Pain from indigestion, dyspepsia, and

Frederick Merrill, an employe of the f
Aluminium company, committed a brutal
and fatal assault on his innocent wife last
Saturday night. In a drunken frenzy he
returned home and beat her into insensi-
bility, from which she never recovered,
(lying the next day. They Were married .
about six months ego. She was formerly
from Stcpiiey. This should be a warning
to everyone to leave intoxicating drinks
alone.
Last Saturday morning a fire broke out
in the oflicc of the Wales Wheel 00., on :
l-Iousatonic avenue This building is
situated between the factory and a large
fra .Ic tenement block. Tire tenement lS
occupied by twenty—nine families, and had
the fire gained more headway both factory
and tenement would have been swept
away, and there would have been a great
loss of life. The loss is about $1,200 and
is fully covered by insurance.
The new building commission under
Supt. I. W. Day is doing good practical
work, not only in seeing that new build-
ings are properly erected, but are looking
after the plumbing iii divellings alreaox
erected, and in quite a number of cases
have found that the joints were made of
putty. In one case there had been four
cases Of diphtheria, where defective
plumbing was no doubt the cairSe.
A beautiful brass memorial tablet has
been erected in the North Church chapel.
Tire tablet is the gift of the Young Peoples’
Society of Christian Endeavor and the

memory of the beloved wife of the pastor,
Rev. Charles Ray Palmer. The inscrip-
tion reads as follows :—
MAnv BARNES PALMER,
Our Pastor’s Beloved Wife,
1872—1888.
An ornament to society she devoted herself to
philanrhropic deeds ForenIOst in every
Christian work she labored and prayed
continually for the spiritual growth
of this church.
The Young Peoples’ Socrety of Christian En-
deavor and the Sunday School erect this
tablet to preserve forever the memory
of a consecrated lite.
Mrs. Palmer was the daughter of the
late A S. Barnes, the well-known book
publisher, of New York, and was a noble
Christian woman.

furnishing the house complete, a Steinway
piano, a pair of horses and carriage, and
a good sized bank check. A great many
distinguished people from out of town were

We condense the following from a long
obituary of Mrs. Samuel Harvey Bessey,
in the Girard (Pa.) Cosmopolite, of Oct.
24th. Mrs. Bessey died Oct, 14th, 'survi-
ving her husband about six years. Mr.
Bessey and wife were former resrdents of
this place, and, lived in the old “Bessey
place” on Harbor street. She leaves five
clrildren,twelve grandchildren and twenty-
One great-grandchildren. Deceased made
a profession of religion at the age Of seven-
teen, and joining the M. E. church re-
mained a member till her death. Says the
Cosmopolite:
Another of our old and respected citi-
zens has ceased to “work and live” here,
but lives and will forever live in the great
future. No woman has been more prom-
inent in Girard and vicinity than “Mother
Bessey” as she was fondly called.
Esther M. Cole was born in Wilton,
Conn., Dec. 24th, 1803. She was married
to S. H. Bessey, Esq., Sept. 151b, 1822.
They moved to the city of New York a few
years after marriage, and commenced the
great battle Of life. Mrs. Bessey’s parents
removed from the East in 1829 and settled
on a. farm in Franklin, Erie county, Pa.
She, preferring the quiet and pleasure of
farm life, her husband bought her a farm
near Fair-view, this county, that she might
be near her aged parents. Mrs. Bessey
moved to this farm in 1852, Mr. Bessey re-
maining in New York pursuing a very
profitable business. It was soon known
by Mrs. Bessey’s neighbors that her busi-
ness talent was adequate to the responsi-
bility she had assumed.

READ THE BEST
Weekly Newspaper and Family Journa
in the Country.
The Weekly Edition Of‘ the Springfield,
, (Mass) Republican. which was established in
l 1824, by Samuel Bowlers, has recently been eu_
l larged to 12 pages or 84 columns. The price
! remains at $1 per year, or 10 cents a. month for
‘ shorter periods.
This generous enlargement, adding 28 col-
umns to the capacity of the paper, allows the
introduction of many new and attractive fea-
tures.
Tire news Of Western Massachusetts and
New England in particular, and of the World
in general, isnow presented in a more thorough
manner than ever before. The news matter is
not thrown together in promiscuous fashion,
but is carefully edited and intelligently arrang-
ed.
The valuable literary department, for which
the paper has always been famous, is made
richer and more comprehensive.
A sermon or other serious paper is printed
every week, selections being made from the
leading preachers of the various religious bod-
ies. and Often from the local 'pulpits of Western
Massachusetts. The religious news and dis-
cussion Of the day is also carefully reviewed.
A bright, entertaining and whOle'some orig-
inal story, and also an attractive department
for young people, are regular features.
Each number contains a. goOd variety of or-
iginal or selected poetry. The special inter-
ests of Women in the way of education, work,
household affairs, dress. etc., receive liberal
attention every. week. ,
Interesting letters from regular and occa-
sional correspondents are more fully given
than has heretofore been possible. The news
of the theatres and of outdoors sports is pre-
sented when interest and importance justify.
Agricultural news and hints for the farmers
are carefully gathered and occupy more space
than formerly. .
The people’s interests in all , political, social.
and industrial affairs are steadily studied and
advocated from the stand point Of‘iudependence
and a. patriotism that is higher and broader
than partisanship. .
In a word, the publishers seek to make The
Weekly Republican more than ever the best
weekly newspaper and family journal combin-
ed in the country.
TO all residents Of New England Who do not
take a. daily paper, or who desire to supple-
ment their daily reading by another presenta-
tion Of the world’s current history, accompan-
ied by a. choice class of general reading, the pa-
per uow confidentially commends itself anew.
Former dwellers in New England and others
everywhere who wish tO keep informed of the
life and thought of this region will also find
the enlarged paper-fnvaluable.

All subscriptions payable in advance.
