Death of Wm.‘K. domes. .
Our community was startled .On' Thursday
afternoon, by the swift flying announcement
that, WILLIAM Kinsman-Jam, had been
attacked atahis .‘ home; wittnparaiysis of the
heart, arid instantly expired. ' He had been
complaining of slight indispositionfor a few
days previous andhadabsenteddfiinself from
the last two meetings of the Directors of the
Fairfield County Bank,of which Board he had
long been a member} - This avas‘so'unusual for
him, that the circumstance was remarked by
his fellow Directors, but as as; continued to
move about"the'¥villagé,- nothing of a serious
nature was apprehended from'liis'apparently
slight illness. He had sufiered somewhat
from impaired‘digestion,ahd‘ this may have
had some connectioniwiththe instantaneous
and fatal attack upon thezvitalforgans. -' 3

This he husband'ed and: retained through his

to four hundred thousand dollars, though the
general'rating is'a quarter of a' million“. "_Hc_

The New Norwalk"B'and.“
Mayor Hyatt and ourselves were “drum-
med out of bed," Thursday. night, by. our
new Norwalk Band, who gave surprising
samples of their musical proficiency. 1 The
band has‘been organized .but a ' few weeks, .
but nearly all being old army players, their
performances are remarkably correct as to
time and melody of ;_sound. Our i own: sur-
prise was complete, at such delightful playing
for we had no thought that it ' was possible.
This band plays for 'better'I than“ several we
know, whichhav‘e long enjoyed‘morc- or‘ less
local fame and-we can see no reason, why it
should not become the eq'iialbf ' any, band’in
the State. We are sure our'peOpleI will I turn
a very warm side to these meritorious "per-
formers. ' ‘ ' K’
In the, .U. S. District; Court, ;at , Hartford,
Wednesday, Charles H. Cooke, of 'Wilton,
pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him
with haying embezzled $250. in postage
stamps, March 7th last, while clerk in the
postrofiice at Wilton. Ed was sentenced to
three months’ imprisonment in the Hartford
County jail where he has been for several
months. He is about twenty-seven years of
age and very frail looking. His widowed
mother was in court and was deeply affected.
The government has not lost pecuniarily by
the embezzlement for the amount has been
made good. He was taken to Hartford late
in the afternoon. , .
The death of Rev. Dr. Hall was made the

Its imperative need, no one will question and
it is to be hoped that it may be organized and

An insurance adjuster went to see a man
whose house had been destroyed by fire;
SEid'adjuster, “How did this thing happen?
‘ House-owner—“Don’t know—it’s a mystery.”
Adjuster—“Well, I know.” House-owner—
“Let’s have it, that’s just what I’d like to
find out." Adjuster—“It’s friction.” House
owner—“ ‘riction? friction? what’s that ?”
Adjuster—“Why, friction is the result of
rubbing a $1,000 policy on a $600 house.”
The above story serves a good purpose as a
joke, but there is another side to it. Since
the great fires in Chicago and Boston, many
of the Fire Insurance Companies employ the
professional “adjuster,” not to, settle losses
on any basis of equity, but by~all sorts of in-
trigue and subterfuge, to wring out a' settle-
ment with the honest loser fora sum less, in
celery case, than the amount insured and
less than the same companies have received
premiums upon year after year. This legal-
ized fraud has become such a notorious out-
rage upon an honest public, that. it is to be
'hOped our coming legislature will pass a law
making it obligatory upon every, company
taking risks on buildings, at least, in this
State,to pay the full amount of the insurance
fer which'its agents have taken pay, in event
of honest loss. Such a law would place the
entire responsibility upon the agent,and theie
would be less over insuring than at present,
and we believe fewer fires also, under such
a rule, while the honest insurer would know,
in case of the destruction of his property,
what he was to get. Losses settled as at
present, by the professional “adj uster," have
no reference whatever to the value of the-
property or the amount “nominated in the
bond"ror policy.
BAsn BALL.—-—The newly organized nines.—
Tuesday last. Never did ancient athletes in
Olympian games more fiercely contest for the
mastery. The scores ran far up above the
total number -of the late Brigham, Young's
wives, and the final ending, jost before sun-
set, only inspired the defeated Wall street are
withsresolute determination to beat their
antagonists in the next game or perish, mis-
erably, in the endeavor. Main street may as
well prepare for the worst, as it cannot long
enjoy its present laurels of victory. Wall
Street means f‘business” next time At the
last game Main Street had a decided advan-
tage on heft and muscle, while Wall street
largely excelled in intellect and financc.~
The most amusing feature was the finale
.on Tuesday night, when a “corner" was cre-
ated on the village stock of liniments, oint-
ments and mutton tallow. Far into the even-
ing, different members of the contestants
families were seen to hurry to and from our
drug-stores with hands full of lotions for the
suffering ball champions. The good wives
of the married portion of the players “had a
night of it.” But by dint of rubbing,bathing
and annointing, most of these sprained heroes
came out of it next morning in reasonably
good condition. Selleck, for instance, the
Wall Street pitcher, was able to leave town
on the first train, while the others hobbled
about all day no worse than foundered or
over-driven horses. The , poor bachelors,
however, had a very different experience.
With no one to lubricate their stiffened joints
or apply the soothing unction of the lamb to
their abraided sinews, they had to roll and
tumblein anguish on their desolate couches}
Several ventured out next morning, but all
were that anxious, suffering cast‘ of counte-
'__nance that would have led a stranger to sue-
pect they had been out all night on a
“whoa-rah.” In fact all felt .about as Pat
did, who crawling out in the morning, with
his nose and ears bitten oi‘r'. explained that he
:had “been out all night with the boys having
some fun." But Courage boys—
“And thou shalt know ere long
How sublime a thing it is to suffer and grow
strong." . ‘
Bannon, the Independent’s pitcher, could
not resist the facinations of the National
Capital, and has made arrangements to re-
main there as pitcher for one of the Wash-
ington clubs. .

Our recent successful military encampment,
revives some local military reminiscences. At
the time of the draft riots in New York, a
military company was organized here fa-
miliarly denominated the "HomeGuardsJ’
Andrew Sellcck, was one of the most zealous
in its organization, although he declined any
office. He it was who solicited member-
ships, collected moncy for uniforms, etc., ‘At;

A Plea fer- another Steamboat.
A patron of the GAZETTE, who although
himself retired from active business, never-
theless takes it deep interest in the prosperity
of Norwalk, and in the success of its trades-
people, urges us to demand f0 Commodore
White, that next spring, he shall put two
steamboats upon this route. One steamer
he would have leave New York every morn-
ing, and South Nerwalk every evening,
while as now the other leaves Norwalk
every morning and New York every evening.
In this way'only, our friend reasons, can our
tradesmen make good the trade drain which
has been kept from them all this season and
thorns to New York. A boat leaving New
York in the morning and herein the evening,
he' is confident, would bring up thousands of
cxcursionists and visitors from New York,
who as the boat now runs, would never think
of- a trip here. In this way strangers in great
numbers, would be attracted to our excep-
tionallylbcautiful town, and this would become
in his opinion as favorite a summer resort as
Rockaway, or other summer day resorts con-
tigious to New York. While others would
be so captivated by the charming scenery
here, that they would buy homes and build
houses here toa large extent. 1f Commodore
White is unwilling to try this experiment of
two beats, our friend says the business of the
town could well afford to, and should do it
themselves in a sptrit of self protection.

No Fair Daily.
The issuing of a regular daily paper during
the Fair—as,we have done in former years—
is an expensive job, and one which we
cannot undertake, simply “for the fun of the
thing.” Having failed to receive sufiicicnt
encouragement from advertisers, we have re-
luctantly concluded not to issue a daily this
season. Our merchants take little or no in—
terest in tlic‘Fair, and many of them profess
to believe the Fair to be a decided detriment
to the business of the town, notwithstanding
the great numbcz of strangers in attendance
every year. We return thanks‘to those who
favored us with orders, "and hope another

The International Rifle Match.
America has again been victorious in the
International Rifle match, the shooting for,
1877 having taken place at Creedmoor on,
Thursday and Friday last. The American
Team excellcheach day at each range, mak-
ing'larger scores than had ever been made be-
fore by any team in the world; their compe-
titors, thc British team, also made better
scores . than - ever previously made, but
they were constantly outshot from the very
first commencement by the Yankee team, at
no time did they succeed in getting a lead.
The shooting was wonderful, at the 800 yard
range,bulls-eycs were made nearly every time
by a majority of the shooters, several of them
making a score of 74 out of a possible 75:
at 900 yards they fell off a little but not
much ; at 1000 yards again a little, although
Jewell and Bruce of the Americans made 73
out of 75, on the last day. On Thursday
the scoring at 800 yards stood, Americans,
568; British, 557; at 900 yards, Americans,
547; British, 537; at 1000 yards, Americans,
540; British, 534; the American team ahead
26 points. On Friday the American team ran
right away from their Opponents, as follows:
800 yards, American, 575; British, 559; 900
yards, American, 554; British, 536; 1000
yards, American, 550; British, 518; giving
the Americans 9. lead of 66 points, or a total
of 92. Blydenburg makes the best record
for the two days. -The‘first day he made the
remarkable score of 213 out of a possible 225.
On the second day his unprecedented score
was beat by Bruce who made I2i_9,‘out of a

“ Brutal Journalism.”
Mr. Robert W. J ohnson,a reputable private
citizen of Darlen, having been assailed in a
local paper, appeals to us for the use of our
columns to repel the scurrilous attack. As
scores of others, similarly assaulted, have
I from time to time, sought the same means of
redress, we desire to say, once for all,
that while we sympathize with innocent par-
ties thu‘s assailed, we cannot consent to en-
courage such “journalism," by filling our col-
umns with replies, denials, etc., ofits chur-
ges. Parties thus suffering must look to the
journal from which the assault comes, for
satisfaction. When citizens tire of such as-
saults they will cease to contribute to the
support of such papers.

Murray’s Circus.
Murray’s circus gave two performances in
this city yesterday, both of which were large-
iy attended. Without going into detail we
can characterize the Ring performance as the
best we have witnessed in this city in a num-
ber of years. Mr. Murray advertised that two
female riders would appear, and two female
riders did appear, and good ones too. One of
the principle features was the riding of Odel,
and we do not hesitate in saying that he was
fully equal, if not superior, to the so-called
champion of, the world, James Robinson.
Certainly, there was greater, variety, in his
pcrf‘mance. The entertainment throughout
was a thoroughly good one. The circus is
managed by Mr. Murray individually. He ap-
pears as ring master and assumes full control.
There was not a word or not said or done to
offend anybody. Two performances will be
given to-day. Do not fail to see this exhibi-
tion, for it is well worthy of the best of put-
ronage—Boston Herald.
This superior circus will exhibit in Nor-
