Burglar-n.
The resolute action of our citizens in re-
gard to the advent of the organized hordes
of New York burglars, has had its natural
result in starting them off to some less vigiv
lantiy. guarded quarter, but we should not
relinquish our attention to these gentry for
the entire winter. Stealing is a profc55ion
with these'wOrthies, and neeessity will com-
pel them to ply their veeation with more
than usual activity. They are not the men
to run into a trap, however, if our watch
and organization is vigilantly maintained,
they will give us a wide berth.

Gen. Cruufurd’l Retirement.
In retiring from the command of the
Brigade, Gen. Craufn rd leaves the Connec-
. ticut National Guard in much better condi-
tion than it has been before. He hafivorked
earnestly and devotedly to improve the sys-
tem and advance the character and stands
ing of the State militia, and his labors have
not been without success. It must be grati-
fyin‘g to him to know his services have been
appreciated by his command, and fully re-
Cognized by the highest authority. The
following general order is highly compli-
, :mentary to him but no more so than he
- deserves: . ,
GEN. HEADQUARTERS STATE or CT. }
ADJUTANT , GENERAL'S OFFICE.
NEW HAVEN, SEPTEMBER 20TH, 1875.
GENERAL ORDERs No. 6. ‘ .
The resignation of Brigadier General Rob-
ert B. Craufurd, commanding Brigade Con-
necticut National Guard, is hereby accepted.
The regret felt by the Commander-in-
Chief at GeneralCraufurd’s retirement from
the National Guard, will be shared by the
offi'éers and men whom he has so efitciently
and ably commanded during a long and
honorable term of service.
From the time he took command of the
8th Regiment as Colonel in 1864, to his res-
ignation as Brigadier General, commanding
at this time, General Craufurd’s influence
has been felt in a steady progress of the
military force of the State in all that is re-
quired to render it complete and efilcient for
any service that may he demanded, and the
high reputation of his command at this
time, as a well organized and thoroughly
disciplined brigade, is the best testimonial
that can be offered for his ability as a com-
manding officer.
' By order of the Commander-ln-Chief.

A committee was appointed by the Com-
mon Council at South Norwalk to review
the city's official records and see what was
their legal status. The Committee has ful-
filled its mission and report a shocking con-
dition of things. A large number of. the
city orders and ordinances are found clearly
illegal and a still larger number have never
been recorded or their originals preserved.
It seems to be confusion, worse confounded
in the new city’s Council. In order to
' straighten out affairs the Council is re-adopt-
ing and republishing many of the ordinan-
ces! '
Gov. lngersoll has again shown his just
appreciation of the good qualities of our
Norwalkers, by the appointment of James
W. Hyatt, Esq., as State Bank Commission-
er for the unexpired term made vacant by
the resignation of Congressman elect Lan-
ders. Mr. Hyatt was long the cashier and
head bookkeeper of the banking house of
LeGrand Lockwood and by natural capaci-
ty and practical familiarity with the details
of finance will make a most competent and
valuable Officer in the new position to which
he has been assigned. We congratulate
him and the state llp‘On their mutual good
fortune "

to developeone of the most entertaining
tople ever‘presented to an American au-

He wittily speaks of drumming as a fine
art, and intersperses his lecture with many
humerous incidents happily related.

It seems that Capt. Frederick Murray a‘
well known citizen of the place. returned
home from an absence of a day or two, get:
ting to his house after dark. He had some-
thing he wished to leave in the cellar, and
finding the outside cellar-door or hatch-way
. open went directly into the cellar: His re-
turn hadpnot been noticed by his family and
the noise he happened to make attracted
their attention and for an instant excited
alarm, as they took it to be a burglar of
course, and visions of a rough fierce looking
rufilan rose before them. But they were
equal to the occasion. Two of the daugh-
ters ran to the inside cellar door bolted it
Ind drove a pair of scissors over the latch,
while Mrs. M. and one daughter ran to the
hatch-way door and‘stood upon it. At the
same time Murray's mother (aged 90 but as
hale and hearty as most healthy women of
60) and another daughter ran around the
house-to guard the cellar windows. Their
object, of course, was to keep the burglar
confined till Capt. M. returned. Mean-
while he was greatly amused at what was
going on. Disguising his voice he took
position under the door on which his ‘ wife
and one daughter stood, and lifting it a lit-
tle demanded to be let out. They told him
to keep still, and did not name. He lifted
harder, raising the door higher and higher.
This brought the senior Mrs. M.. to the res-
cue. Her added weight closed the door
again. A stronger heave and- the door
again opened more and more till the whole
family stood upon it. This was too much
foreven the stalworth Captain. He had to
give it up, and sue for deliverance. But
they kept him there a prisoner for‘some-
further momentsibefo‘re they would 'own'
that they recognized. his- voice.
Capt. Murray Says he should neyerbe

Main street, below. Washington, is liter—
ally torn up, and Obstructed by dirt, stone
and other .missiles. .Improvements were
greatly needed, and those made will greatly
improve the beauties of that thorough-
fare, but it seems unnecessary to encumber
the street so much and so long, contrary to
ordinance of the city. However, the ordi-
nances may not be ordinances.
Our Italian friends have returned to finish
up the laying of water pipes, and are mak-
ing rapid progress, having only 300 feet in
Haviland street, and Main Street from Wash-
ington to Concord to lay, which they hope
to do by the 15th. Those who watched
their progress on Saturday, gave them cred-
it for being efficient workers, and very in—
dustrious; but were not a little surprised at
the way the stones, rock and dirt were
placed back in the excavations. The dirt
eanuot settle evenly or rapidly, in this way,
and a majority of our people think that our
public streets will be in a sad condition all
winter, and have suggested to the council
committee on streets and sidewalks,‘to store
under cover 500 loads of gravel for winter
repairs. 1
The Fairfield Insurance Building and
Messrs. Lounsbury Bros. & Rockwell’s Fac-

of the public mind recently, as to our muni-
cipal misgovernment, and believe the best
minds of our merchants, bankers, profes-
sional meu‘and mechanics will hereafter be
fixed more intelligentlyand critically in both

These pills are alteratlvc, and produce a healthy
action of the liver without tltcleast danger, as they
are free from calomcl, and yet more efficacious in
restoring a. healthy action of the liver.‘
These remedies are a certain cure for Consump-
tion, as the I‘ulmonic Syrup ripens the matter and
pttrifies the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon
the liver, create a. healthy bile, and remove all dis-
eases of the liver, often a cause of Consumption.
The Sea. Weed Tonic gives tone and. strength to
the stomach, makes a good digestion, and enables
the, organs to form good blood; {and thus creates
a‘healthy circulation of healthy blood. The com-
bined action of these medicines, as thus explained,
will cure every case of Consumption, if taken in
time, andthe use of the medicine persevered in.
