curred athishome in Brooklyn on Sunday.-
Mr. Morison is the father of our' fellow-
townsman, Thomas H. Morison, Esq. He
was a man of the: strictest .uprightncss and
ut‘more‘ than ordinary business ability. For
many years he has been identi‘ with the
meandering. interests of Norwalk, and
deeply interested in the best welfare, prog-

though, at the ripe age of seventy-one years,
will be'inost deeply felt and deplore i.

a severe'Iaccidént in getting into an‘omni~

bone of. his leg. The prostration resulting
from this accident is supposed to have been
the principal cause of his sudden demise.

FIRES.
- On Wednesday night,Ilast soon alter 11
o‘clock, the residence of Mr. T. D.-Bcll, a
neat, pretty cottage on Fair Street, was dis-
covered to be on fire. Mr. and Mrs. Bell.
had been- spending the evening at South
Norwalk, and had nearly reached home
when the fire broke out. The neighbors
rallied and did all in their power to save
the building and contents. By combining
their garden hose, they did much towards
keeping the fire down until the arrival .,
the firemen, when fire hose was attached
the street hydrants and the fire was soon"
put out. Mr; Bell arrived home soon
enough to save several articles of value, and
to assist insaving the piano, in doing which
he was nearly suffocated. Most 'of the fur-
ture was saved, but of. course in a damaged
condition. The insurance will cover the
cause Mr. Bell considerable loss as well as
great inconvenience and trouble.
Mr. Bell requests us to extend his thanks
to friends, neighbors and the Fire Depart-
ment for their prompt and efficient efforts to
subdue the fire.
. On Thursday aflernoon last an alarm of
fire was sounded at about 2% o’clock." It
proved to have been in one of Mr. Shep-
herd’s tenements on Knight street. On
reaching the place a little girl named Mary
Ann Dorsey was discovered on‘ the floor
nearly burned to death ;shc lingered but a
short time, but could not give an intellig-
able, account of how the fire occurred. It
is supposed that,having been left alone a
few moments by her mother, a hardwork-
ing w‘asherwoman, the. child fell’on the
stove and so set its clothes on fire, or else.

The Postmaster General spent Wednes-

the New York Post Office. He is the first
head of our Postal service who ever found
it convenient to go through this monster

that they congregated in the Distribution
Department and gave their :Chi‘cf" three
vociferous cheers. So pleased was he with
the perfect organization and energy display.
reforms introduced by Postmaster James,
that he expressed his determination to
similarly visit all the larger oflices of the
country and making himself practically fa-

view to attaining the maximum eflicieney

We have, within the past few days, had
a most impressive lesson of the value of
public water. At the recent fire on White’s
dock, where our hydrants sated the explo-
sion and confiagration of a hundred bar-,
rels of kerosene, we had an exhibit of what
“might have been done.” The destruction.
of property—involving, perhaps, mé. entire:
centrnortion of our Borough—is fearful
to co plate. At the fire the other night
in Mr. Bell’s house, it was the hydrants
that saved to him the fruits of a whole life
time of patient labor and saving. His and
the adjoining house must have burned up
had it not been for the public water. , It is
too late to belittle its value in this respect,
and the Insurance companies ought to so far
recognize its protection as to still further
reduce local rates of insurance;
