to publish
MIR. EDITOR--P1casc print tho great
Baton Rouge puzzle. Was there . quo
rum present ut the meeting OF tho Coun-
Gil on Monday lastH
On tho ballot for Fink, 3 votes were
cast for him and | for Schoenbrodt, 4
votes in all; not u quorum. Five mem
bcrs of the Council being required by
tho Charter to form quorum for tho
transaction Of business. The Mayor not
being allowed by the Charter to vote
unless in case of tic, it was impossible
for o quorum to vote as there was but 4
members present, besides tho Mayor.
Now, Mr.. Editor, was Fink elected or
was anything else done that will stand
the test Of COMMON SENSE.
4-3 vs.. "a,
Three votes are u majority of q quorum
of five members. In n body where five
are present four votes cast would show
that four-Gfths of n quorum had voted.
OF course, had there been tic, com
polling the Mayor to cast his vote, but
three rotcs only, would have elected either
one. Such is tho usage, which was fully
complied with when three votes, ma
iority Of the quorum, voted for Mr..
Fink. That's COMMON SENSE.

 flag raising to take place on Monday evening next, at which time delegations are expected \ from North Haven, Foxon East Haven and ! Branferd. The Hon. William c. Case of

 Branford Republicans had a fine meeting
 Wednesday evening. which created much en-
 thusiasm and was addressed by the Hon. N.
 D. Sperry and Wales French The speakers
 were met a mile from the village by the Bran-
 ford Boys in Blue, 100 strong, and escorted | to the hall. The streets and houses were | beautifully illuminated and decorated. Among
 some of the most noticeable of the illumina-
 tions were those of George Plant, Samuel o.
 Plant, Captain Ely and the windows of Ed ward F. Jones at the hotel Samuel O. Plant
 was president of the meeting, and the Town 1 Hall was densely packed. The meeting was l one of the most orderly and enthusiastic held
 since 1860. Among the Boys in Blue were
 some of the most prominent men of the
 town. Much of the success of this grand | meeting was due to the earnest efforts of Ed l ward F. Jones, a member of the State Gen. | tral committee from the Sixth district. Among those in attendance from New Haven were Rutherford Trowbridge, Julius Twiss and Hugh Daley.
 A large and enthusiastic Republican meet | ing took place in Norwalk Wednesday even | ing, MT. J. l.. Barbour being the speaker of ] the occasion. The Norwalk Opera House sion was very tastefully dressed and | decorated with flags and emblems | The grand torchlight procession | was the feature of the evening, and l included the Norwalk and South Norwalk companies, and those from Five Mile River 1 and New Canaan, which in all numbered 45O | men. Before the procession started the l Bigelow battalion of Norwalk, which num- l bers 125 men, were presented by the young l ladies of Norwalk with an elegant silk flag, which gift was complete surprise to the boys.

ARarn-warminp Party.

barn-warming party was given last even in g by MT. P. T. Barnum to his grand daughters, the Misses Hurd ''Barnum's barn balI' was the inscription on the tickets of invitation. The scene of the affair was the largest of the buildings now put up by Mir. Barnum near Railroad avenue as the win ter quarters for his show. It made a very commodious ballroom, and not an unattrac- tive one, decked out, as it was last night. with flags and decorations of various kinds. This decoration was the work of the Misses Hurd and their lady friends, and gave to the inte rior of the building highly pleasing appear ance. Kerosene lamps furnished the light, there being large chandelier of them in the center of the room and others hung thickly about the sides of the building. Some fifty couples representing the younger element of the fashionable society of the city, and about fifty of their more elderly friends, were in at- tendance, MT. and Mrs. Barnum being among the latter. Roberts orchestra furnished the music for the dancing which was carried on until midnight with only an interruption for supper. The repast was an elegant one. The young ladies had the direction of all the ar- arrangements for the entertainment, and de- serve much credit for the successful manner in which they carried them out-BTdgep0rt Farmer

| Another Of our enterprlSIng young mer- 1 chants has been to Woodbridge for one of it's l girls to help him smooth the rough places of l life. This time it was MT. Samuel H. Street, doing business on Grown street near State, and the lady was Miss Alice May, the daugh- I ter of Mir. and Mrs. s. P. Newton of Wood
 bridge. The wedding took place at the resi-
 dence of the brides brother-in-law, MT. James A. Church, No. 43 Beers street, in this city, at p. m., the 22d inst, Rev. s. P. Marvin
 of Woodbridge officiating, and Mir. Fred B. 1 Street of East Haven and Mir. John M Marvin l of Woodbridge acting as ushers. By s 1 o'clock the rooms were filled with the invited 1 guests, who admired the elegant floral deco
 rations which dainty fingers had designed for the occasion. Among these was an arch l of evergreens with dove surmounting it and horseshoe of tuberoses suspending 1 from it, under which the ceremony took place. Behind this was beautiful mound of flowers made of white balsams, heliotropes, tuberoses and other choice flowers, surmount- ed with sprays of oak and lilies entwining, giving happy effect to the whole and en- blematic of the strength and beauty which the union was to become in it's influence on society The bridal gifts were numerous and costly, among which we noticed silver cake basket from Mir. and Mrs. Edwin Granniss, a set of fruit knives from Miss E. E. James, a silver call-ben and holder by MT. and Mrs. James King of Chicago, an elegant set (forty pieces) of moss rose china by Mrs. s. P. Newton, @ French clock with bronze statuette by MT. and Mrs. Thaddeus Street, silver nap- kin rings by Mir. and Mrs. H. F. Merwin and Miss Florence Morgan, a $1OO green back from her mother, a $50 check from her husband, an eagle by Mrs Chidsey, a silver syrup cup by Mrs De Forest Plant of Newark an upholstered fold ing chair by Mrs. John Blair, sewing rock CT by Mrs. H. Smith, a castor by Mr. and Mrs. Justus P. Thomas, pair of Egyptian vases by MT. and Mrs A. D. Baldwin, a sil- yer ice pitcher from MT. Fred. B. and MT. C. H. Treat, a set of silver dining forks by the Misses D. and B. Newton, silver butter dish from Aunt D., large silver castor by MT. and Mrs. I. A. Church.
 There were other elegant presents, but our space will not admit of our particularizing them. We must not omit, however, the side board on which most of the articles stood, given by Miss M. A.. Street, which is 100 years old, and is supposed to have been owned and used by the Rev. Nicolas Street, for so many years the pastor of the Congre- gational church of East Hanover and the great t-grandfather of the bridegroom.
 After a sumptuous entertainment the brid- al pair took their leave of the merry compa- . 11,o sincere wishes of all present for their future success in life. We understand they go to Saratoga and Niagara and make quite an ex- tended trip, after which they will return to this city for their future residence

AHnpnx Gather1nR.

There was pleasant party at the residence of Theron Ford, on Cherry street, Milford, last Wednesday afternoon and evening, in honor of MT. John Thompson, of Lathrop, California, who is brother of Mrs. Ford. He is on a visit to his friends and relatives, and it is his first after an absence of twenty five years. There was nothing left undone to make the gathering happy one. The par ty numbered nearly forty. They were from this city, Fair Haven and West Haven. A va- riety of tempting viands were set before them, and the afternoon was spent in talking over old times. Some of the party visited the old burying ground, which is historical. It is well worth visit. Some of the epitaphs will repay perusal, but are very hard to deci- pher, being in '.ye oldep style" The guests departed for home at an early hour in the evening, well pleased with their visit, which is one of many which have been gotten up in Mr. Thompson's honor. He soon departs for his adopted home, and he will carry back most pleasant memories to the Golden State of his Connecticut friends and their efforts to commemorate his visit.

Braun,s AutotvUes,

The illustrated catalogue of the Salon de Paris, 1880, authorized by the Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts of France, contains lengthy article about the famous Braun Autotypes of Paris, concluding as fol lows: ''Who does not remember the beauti- full gallery of historical portraits in the Tro- caden during the International Exhibition of 1878, and the collection of designs of the old masters recently exhibited at the School of Fine Arts, also the principal works of the sa- Ions, 1877, 1878, 1879 ? All these reproduc- tions support nobly the European reputation of this eminent house, which, whenever the question of rendering service to art arises, does not shrink from any sacrifice of money and time"
 MT. Stornay, the agent of this eminent house, intends to be in New Haven next month, with the latest publications, exhibit ing as usual at Cutters popular art store.
