W—
Brightcr Skies.
Our business man here in Norwalk have
had along-continued and exceptionally hard
C'ti’m’éi'o'fmit'in—maintaining their footing. N0
toyvnlinaalldhe country. has 2-pr9bably had so
filial-b a atféinEupon 'its nuancial ‘resources,

ilmdfigest‘hnd most cnterprlsmg business
Ilién‘fiivept down by the disasters of the past
, few years. find not our grand old town
heenunusually rich in its accumulated wealth,
much wider and more general financial ruin .
would have befallen us. But pluck and ten--
'. Amy have been paramount dmpulses, and so
. nilhave plodded as best they could, anti now
"the skies brighten and a more certain promise
or improved business and better times greets
our eyes. Now is the time, then, for one
. and all to bend to the oar of honest and ear-
littlest endeavor, and by seizing upon all the
Sims of tllc.uewly.'awukcning enterprise and
business thrift, to help swell the volume of
returning prosperity. 'Our merchants should
be careful to provide such goods. as the peo-
ple want, and then use a‘wisc and discriml-
noting liberality in giving the Widest publici-
ty concerning the wares they have to sell.
Just-as well might a merchant take down and
scoretc the sign over his door, as to fail to
properly advertise the wares he wishes the
public to buy of him". Our mechamcs should
more generally inform the public of their
abilities to supply or perform whatever comes
within the line of their production. While
our merchau‘s as a rule 'are cautious
and some eVs-v. timidadvcrtisers, most of our
mechanics fall to give the public any notice
whatever of where they are or what they
can do. No man can long succeed thus no
matter how‘superior his skill or productions. '
We have in mind a case which occurred here
last summer, where a party at great trouble
sent out of town for a trivial article because
be supposed himself compelled to do so,
when a both-r and cheaper could have been
found right. here at llOme, but the mechanic
did not advertise and comparatively few
knew of his existence among us. It is not
that we are specially interested that we thus
advise. It is the history of every successful
business man the world over, that he has
been sucecssful as an advertiser. There are
many ways in which this c'an, be done, but
all experience goes to show that the best re-
sults are sure to follow systematic and liberal
advertising in a well conducted and respect:
able newspaper circulating among well—to-do
people who are able to pay for what they
need andx'purchase. Two thirds of the trade
so foolishly run off to New York from
Norwalk, last summer, might have been re-
talned here, we confidently believe, by
advortising, liberally andyvisely done. Will
our merchants, manufacturers and artisans
promote their own interests by seriously
considering thesubject ?

Our Legislature, .
This body convenes on Wednesday next
at the. new State House, Hartford. On
Tuesday evening, the two parties will make
: their respective nominations for speaker and
the minor offices, and on “’cdncsday the
organization of the two Houses and the
election and inauguration of the State officers
will he proceeded with. The election of a
Senator, in place of Hon. Wm.II. Barnum,
who was elected to serve out the unexpired
term of the late Senator Ferry, .will give an
exciting interest to the opening session. The
caucus nomination for Senator will probably
be made on Tuesday night week.

A very able and conclusive argument is.
made by the Stamford Advocate, (a. part of
v. hich we rc-publish today) in support of ex-
(lov. Minor for U. S. Senator. A carefully
edited pamphlet is also being widely circulat-
ed, professcdly in the interest of Gen. Haw-
It apparently wears a candid face, yct

its entirely anonymous character leaves it
open to the supposition that some one on mis-‘

Resumption. , >
For the first time for scvcntcrn years, the
:ywernmcnt's promise to pay a dollar, means
-n‘l that promise implies. It wasa'curious
fact, that instead of the “run" upon the
banks for, gold, the croakers confidently pre-
dicted, there was such a general reluctance
to receiving the precious metals, that. at the
close of the first day's business, there had
bceu'a‘oinc four hundred thousand dollars in‘
roldldeposited, more than had been drawn
but ! This unexpected and really surprising
circumstance has been repeated every day
since, though in less degree,-showiug clearly
:lrlt. the people prefer greenbacks when the
gro‘t‘nbncll is equal to gold in commercial
\‘.tl‘.lt?. Not only has no shock or cyen ripple
Ht disturbance resulted from resumption,
be: the public confidence seems strengthened
and quickebed by it and our clearest sighted
business menvfcel .assuredof steady progress
towards a firm and lasting prosperity.
Senator Oliver Hoyt, who is an able busi-
ness man and a member of the New: York
Board of Trade, in aCasualcOnversation’
assured us of the brighter skies and better
prospects in New York and throughout the
country. He says the feeling among busi-
ness men everywhere now is, that we have
reached the turn in the national highway and
that henceforward confidence will assert
itself and new and active business enterprises
will again be entered upon. The feelingin
New York especially, was most hopeful and
the outlook more promising for a safe and
prosperious business revival, than at any
time for years past. “So may it. bail

M
Death of Judge Sherman.
Judge Charles Taylor Sherman, eldest
brother of General Sherman and Secretary
Sherman, died very suddenly on New Years
morning, at his residence in (chyeland, Ohio."
lie was a son of Charles Jarvis Sherman, and
grandson of Taylor Sherman, of Norwalk—
who used to live in the house first above Mr.
Charles Sherry’s ,in Main street, and now so
long occupied by the Nathan Bocrs’ family.
J udgc Sherman‘s father emigrated from here
to Ohio, with a brother, early in the begin-
ning of the present century and we rcmtm-
her to have heard the late aged Miss Phoebe
Ccmstock tell 'of the excitement which pro—
vailed all through this section of the State at.
their departure into the then wilds of the
West. People came from New Canaan, Wil-
ton, Wcstport (then all portions of N orwalk)
and from all other sections to see the emi-
grants off. They left Norwalk in a two horse
wagon, the old lady said, covered with a
white sheet stretched ov'cr hoop-poles, and in
this vehicle they were to eat and‘sleep till
they reached the western lakes. Judge
Sherman’s'father is reported to have been
born here in Norwalk, Sept. 26, 1878. He
settled on the Western Reserve, or “New
Connecticut.” as it was called,in Fairfield Co.,
Ohio, and began'the practice of his profes-
sion, the law, in 1810. He became eminent
in the profession, held the office of revenue
collector for Fairfleld County, but became
poor through the frauds of his deputies.
He was Judge of the Supreme Court of
Ohio from 1825 to his death, which cc-
currcd at Lebanon, Ohio, June 24th, 1829.
Judge Chas. T. ‘was a large hearted man, of
very sound, practical. judgment anti always
a, social favorite amough’is acquaintances.
Hewas born at Lancaster, Ohio, in 1819.
He graduated at Ohio Unive‘rsit y in 1832 and
was admitted to the Bar in 1835. He began
the practjcc of. law‘iu Mansfield, Richland
county, Ohio, where he resided until 1867,
when he was appointed District. J udgc of the
United States for Northern Ohio. He held
this position until about four years ago.
Judge Sherman gained some prominence as a
railroad manager, being director of the Peters-
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago and Mans-
field and Sandusky railroads; and for four
years he was government director of the
Union Pacific Railway. He filled the office
of provost marshal of twenty counties of
Northern Ohio during the war and organized
as a colonel four colored regiments. Of late
years ill health had compelled him to‘confinc
himself to his library and family circle. , His
surviving brothers are General William T.
and Secretary John Sherman, Sampson
Sherman, the banker, and Hoyt Sherman. a
merchant, of Desmoiues, Iowa. He leaves a
family of five children, two sons and three
daughters. One of the sons is a practicing
attorney of Cleveland and the other is the
United States marshal of the territory of
New Mexico; His eldest daughter is the
wife of Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the celebrated
Indian fighter; another is the wife of Col.
Colgate Iloyt, of Cleveland, and the young-
est was’ married on the 9111 of May last to
Hon. J. Donald Cameron, ex-Secrctary of
War, and now l'nitcd States Senator from‘
Pennsylvania .
Judge Sherman was well known to many
of our citizens,.aud here he always was de-
lighted to visit. As a lawyer of extensive
practice in Ohio and at Washington, and as,
United States circuit judge, he was widely
known, and respected. As a sincere and
warm—hearted friend, he will be mourned
by many beyond the limits of his relation-
ships or his State.

The South Norwalk Murder.
Since our last issue the authorities have
been busily at work endeavoring to elucidate
the mystery of the late murder of Mr.
Schulte,bnt apparently without much success
This last Saturday and Monday, evidence
abduccd then, seems to point .to Schultc's
servant, Iluehholz, whose arrest was caused
on Saturday afternoon, by State‘s Attorney‘
Olmstcad. Buchholz had been a willing
witness before the jury, not. trying to escape,
although naturally under suspicion,and many,
ourselves with others, could not believe he
was concerned in it, but some parts of the
later evidence are terribly damaging to him.
On examination of his effects, ‘it was found
thatMr. Schulte was quite a wealthy man,
leaying something over $200,000 in available
funds and the owner of‘large real estate in
Germany.' On Monday, after the murder,.
Mayor Hanford telegraphed to Freidrick W.
Schultc,‘a brother at: Grossen Holthauseu,
Westphala, Prussia, informing him of the
murder of his brother, and received a . reply
asking him to forward the body, and if money
and effects had been secured. The German
Consul, nt.N cw York, ho‘wevcr, sent up an
attache of the cmbassay who took charge of
the body and bad it shipped, on Saturday,by
steamer. At the examination during the
week, Buchholz has been mrfectly cool and
reliant —-would not. employ counsel as he
said he had only the truth to tell and nothing
to conceal. When pistols, keys, etc., were
suddenly produced in the course of the evi-
deuce, he was not flurried or agitated, but
calmly replied to all questions—said he
knew nothing of the pistols; the keys were
Mr. Schultc’s; knew thcnl by their being
held together with catgut.
The Warrcns testimony was in great part
similar to Buchholz. Mrs. Warren, however
said that Mr. Schulte'had been to New York
but three times since residing here, twice on
the boat and’this last time by rail ; he did
not go out evenings; never knew him to go
through this path before this time.
At Saturday’s examination, letters were
produced from Buchholz to a friend in New
York, named Robe, in which he refers to
his position and says he would like t6 sce anti
talk with him, and tells him how to account
if called upon, for his acquaintance and not
know or say anything about money. It was
also shown that he was to leave Schultc‘s
employ on the 20th of January, who had re.
employed his Old servant Grunwald.‘ Ac-
cording to the facts elicited the three seem
to have been connected about as follows :
Schulte brought Gruuwald with him from
Germany, and the couple stopped at the
Soune hotel. Among those stopping at the
hotel was Buchholz, who came to this coun-
try from Bremen on the 17th or August lost.
He became acquainted with both Schulte and
Grunwald, and often talked with the latter
about the eccentricities of the former, cau-
tioning the boy to be careful and look out
for himself or the old man would make
trouble for him. Such talk and the frequent
gossip that the boy heard in the hotel among
the boarders, led him to decide to leave
Schulte and strike out for himself. file an-
nounced this decision to Bnchholz, who
casually gremarkcd to 'lliml “G-t'llllwtlldy
you’re a fool if you leave him, and a bigger
fool if you don’t get away With the old man's
money. , I would work it different if I was
with Schultc” Grunwald paid no attention to
his criminal lunt, but on the. 2d of October
left Schultc’s employ. On the same day
Buchholz approahcd Schulte and engaged
with him to take the place of Gruuwald at a
salary of $3 a month ahd board.
Paul Herscher testificdhon Monday, a. m.,
was confirmatory of Buchholz‘s statement of
Saturday, the day after the murder. He
then continued. First heard of, murder
about 9 o’clock on Friday night; boy came
in and said that the old man thatewas here to-
night is lnurdercd,‘ I asked boy where was
Buchholz; he didn’t; know. Saw Buchhol'.
next morning at my place between S and 9
o’clock; came in alone; rather excited; said
in German, “Isn't that a terrible affair” ; he
said he didn’t know what to think ; he got a
scratch, thought it was the only place he had
been hurt. Took me one side and gave me
9-200 Wlllclllle sum was Ills money‘ and he
wanted me to keep for him till he made his
report to the coroner’s jury. I asked where
he got it. He did not answer but went: back
Into the saloon. $160 of the money produc-
ed by 'lIcrschcr; $40 he gave to Mr. Bur-
ger at Buchholz’s request, to pay a board
bill in New York, also $0.0 paid to Hon. D.
P. Ely forfiafc keeping; Buchholz tool; the
money from his vest pocket ; saw him again
Saturday noon; witness llcre wanted to make
a correction, as follows: when he gave him
the $200 last Saturday, he said, “if any one
asks you, about this money tell them
I gave it to you some time ago." Bills had
numbers on back of’them. 880,110; 380,137 ;
380,140; 38I,156; 380,159; 380,168; 380,.
180. Had kept them separate by'themsclves.
At noon, seemed excited; said in German
that it seemed his friends were going back
on‘him; hoped that he wouldn‘t go back on
him, but say that I received that money
some time in Oct. or Nov. ; I said that was a
hard thing for me to say. He saidif you
do as I tell you. ydu can keep that money if
you want it and moreover onc-teulh—di'd not
finish sentence, but laughed. -
At recess in afternoon he came in with
officer Dayton. I asked him what he meant
by that 1-10th he spoke of at noon ; he made
no answer., We' spoke about money, if I
wanted more he could let me- have it, for
‘ when he got through with this trouble he
should board with me and then we could
settle about it; said he had:rcceived $2250 in
letter from Germany; showed me new
Ulsterhehad bought; asked if Mr. Burger
had any relation who kept horses, as Mr. B.
had bought pile ofhay lying in Mr. Warrens
yard; asked ale to change $50 bill for him;
asked me to.go riding Sunday with him;
{agreed to meet him at livery stable at 2.}
o’clock p. m. '; took coach and rode over
towards Westpor‘t; only conversation had
with him as to his plans if hc-got through
this; said he expected to go to Australia;
wished-he could .take me along; it would
cost about three or four hundred dollars and
about same amount after he got' there. Saw
him again this a. m., had but a few words
with him; said he was rather afraid of to-
day’s investigation; said he hoped, he (wit-
ness) would-not go back 'ou him about the
$200; said'lhere was nothing that he (wit-
ness) need be afraid about; said he .once had
a little altercation with Mr. Schulte about
kicking him ; that occasion was one that
Mr. Schulté pulled a pistol out of his pocket,
and he took hold of Mr. Schulte’s hand and
told him’ to put it back, that he couldn't
frighten him with it.‘ _
Wm. Buchbolz was asked if he wanted to
state where he got the $200? He said that
it was money that he brought him Germany.
He was asked if 1’ brought the .same iden-
tical money! Said that it was not, but it was
money he gave to Mr. Schulte to keep for
him in November and this was the money
that Mr. Schulte gave. in place, Mr. S. gave
him the money after leaving the Davis house
on the night of the murder saying, I here
Buchbolz, here is your money; did not count
it till next morning, did not notice the marks
in red ink on corner, did not want to carry
it with him. Was asked if he told Herscher
to say that he gave him the money in Novem-
ber ; 'said that he did, because it would look
as if he took it from Schulte after he was
dead; he did not offer I-Icrscher money to
swear that he gave him money in October;
he said that he. would give hima little to keep
it for him andif any one asked him when he-
(Buckholz) gave it to him tosayiu'October
or November; was asked if he did not know
that Mr. Sch'lltchada greet deal of money
in his trunk; said that he knew that Mr. S.
had money in his trunk but did not know
how much. The reason that he swore he
gave the money to llerscher in October was
on account of Mr. Splicing murdered the
night he gave him the money, people would
think that he took it from Mr. S’s body after
he was dead. . ‘
' The Warren’s, mother and daughters, tes-
tified to occurrences that night, but nothing
new, and the inquest was, by._request of
State’s Attorney Olmstead adjourned to Sat-
urday mornin‘o. ‘
New Years Day in Nor’walk.
The old gentleman turned up his toes last
Tuesday night just as the town clock was
striking twelve, yet his ghost hung faround
until about ten o’clock on Wednesday mom-
ing, when with a'farewcll wink answered by
a farewell shudder on the part of your cor-
respondent hc took the horse car for South
Norwalk. The infant ’70 appears to be doing ,
well thus for, though the doctors were unable
to save the father. ‘At 12 o'clock we started
in a sedan chair determined to ace holiday
life in all its varying phases from Winnipauk
to E. A. Woodward's; We had a stout heart
and a clear head—at first and kept both so
long as we looked on rather than participated
in the festivities. “'6 had the usual amount
of argument with our sister over the (to.
his) beautiful custom of New Years wipe—-
we taking one extreme and she the other. To
the fanatic on one side good cheer is noth.
ing if it isn't brandy; to those on the other
side it isall water, but to our judicial mind
the golden mean is to be't’ound where the ex.
trcmcs m‘ uniting all the advantages of
both in brandy and' water, thus affording a
striking proof of the old saw, “There is no
unmoved good in the world.” On this basis
we compromised with our sister. The ball
opened with an oflicial reception at the Athe-
mnum by Warden Morison and the sublime
Court of Burgesscs. There cigars and other
tonics were freely dispensed to as receptive
a crowd as ever lingered around the free-
.luuch counter or the humane soup-house.
Bowing and handshakiug used to do for the
modest constituent in the olden time, but
now “Tcmpora mutantur ct nos mutaumur
in illls,” or as long Tom translates it, “Some-
thing a little more filling, please," The
Athenreum is paved with good resolutions.
At 12 o‘clock the curtain rose On Norwalk
people in holiday attire. By this time car-
riages were driving up and down, carrying
groups of two. three and four; as rarely one
—Dr. Many is the instance that most readily
occurs to us of the latter amusement, and he'
at least found himself numerous enough to
fill a whole carriage by himeslf.’ We looked
for the appropriate motto, “E Pluribus
Uuum," “Many in one,” and thought that
we detected it. on the driver’s seat. '
' George M. Holmes and E. J". Hill went
forth together conquering and to conquer.
They made a team of the substantial kind
suggestive of real estate- Dr. Gregory and
William H. Smith struck hands as: of old;
John Cotter, C. S. I’rowitt, and George
Ward Selleck backed one another. Dr.
Coolidge, Le Grand Betta. and John S. Sey-
mour pooled their issues. South Norwalk
was ably represented by Nelson Taylor, J r.,
Mr. F035 and Mr. Palmer. Mr. Golding, of
the Sentinel, and Messrs. Lester, Ferris and
Disbrow, were all mixed up, and their com-

DeKlyn were together, while still another
,quarto embraced Judge J. W. Wilson, E. O.
Keeler and two GAZETTE men. Warden
Morison and cx~Warden Asa Smith made
their calls together, as did Burgesses Cowles
and Merrill. Cashier Curtis and Treasurer
Boyer, and Cashier Street and Treasurer
Miller. were occasionally seen. Frank Leon-
ard traveled by himself, and we occasionally
encountered, G. O. Keeler, W. E. Quintard.
A. C. Belts and Walter Lewis stood by each
other. J as. L. Ambler initiated his son.
The Messrs. Glines went together, and so
did Messrs. Charles S. Lockwood and Chas.

through, and many were on the Grand
Rounds whose names have escaped us.
In cards there was eyery variety which the
printing press and tastc“and lack of taste
could turn out. . Autographs were numerous
and possessed all of the advantages of the
others except legibility. _We have Coolidge's
in mind here, and to this day nobody knows
how he spells his name. As we saw it, it
consisted of a C, a scratch and a sputter——
just as the man himself is made up of three
parts, “A data fine fellow, a poor joke, and a
good laugh at the other fallow's expense."
It was noticeable this year that fewer gen-
tlemen than usual were making the complete
round of calls. Some of our most brilliant so—
cial lights confined themselves to‘“a few of
my personal friends.” Baskets, too, were
numerous—and had a clear majority over the
places that were receiving. The basket cus-
tom appears to be growing year by year, and
suggests a time when these gorgeous palaces
and visions shall dissolve, and, like this in-
substantial pageant fadcd,leave merely a rack .‘
behind. In that day it will be the duty of
the casual small boy to go around and drop a
card into each basket, the callers themselves
having long since learned to slight this empty
husk of a token onlthe part of the ladies of
their good will toward men.
We found at Mrs. George, G. Bishop's, be—
sides Miss Mary, Mrs and Miss Peck, of New
York. At Mrs. E. J. Hill’s we found Sir
Eben himself gliding around in the secluded
parts of the house; beguiling the unwary.
visitor from his list to cigars and politics.-
He failed to give a satisfactory account of his
neglect of the custom of tu.ing out. The
Misses Bailey were assisted in doing the
honors by Misses Edna Hoyt abd Alice
Couch. >
Mrs. A. Hill, Mrs. Prowitt and Mrs. Ira
Cole welcomed their friends at the residence
of the latter, where new and thoua favored
visitor was invited into as cosy a library,
with its open fire and Eastlake ebony mantle
as can be seen in town. ’
Mrs. Leonard received alone this year,
and kept her temper when her callers made
light. of Frank’s cigars‘.
Mrs. St'urges and Mrs. A.
daughter also-kept open house.
Mrs. A. B. Woodward was assisted in her
hospitalities by her daughter, who for the
first time “ received” at home. We. congrat-
ulate Miss Woodward on her social'debnt.
Mrs. Dr. Barbour with Mrs. Middlebrook,
and Mrs. Footc, united their welcomes at the
residence of the former. ' '
Mrs. Bird received With Mrs. Wm. Randal
Sniith and gave a generous greeting to some-
thing like'two hundred callers. When they
entertain they entertain. Faint echoes of
the German band an the savory fumes of
choice narcotics led us 'to suspect that the
General himself was not far behind the
scenes. Miss Stella rendered graceful and
efficient aid in the entertainment.
Mrs. G. N. Ells, the Misses Carrie and Hat-
tie Quintard, Mrs. Homer Merrill and Mrs.
Dr. Swift received at the new residence of
Mr. 13113, on West Avenue. . We looked for
traces of inexperienced housekeeping, but
were disappointed. ‘ '
Mrs. Morison and bird W. A. 'Curtis did
the honors of the Warden‘s residence and.
were complimented by hosts of calls. Of
course no man failed to look at the repast in
that well-known dining hall.
Mrs. Sammis, at the age of eighty—nine,
was as entertaining beside her old—time open
wood fire, as she ever was. Mrs. Mary Sam—.
mis, Mrs. Wm. A Sammie, and Miss Lillie,
were with her. -
Mrs. Dr. Coolidge received with Mrs. A..l.
Crofut, and there we broke resolution No. :3,
and took‘salad.
Mrs. Eben. Hill. assisted by the convales-
cent Mr. Eben, received at their residence.
The Misses E! y were as gracious as ever,
and more than sustained their cnviable rcpu.

Mrs. D. F. Benedict and her sister,.Mr_a '
W. C; Snmluis, received pleasantly, though
quietly. ,
[The Misses Couch, assisted by Miss Baird '
and Miss Spencer, made a jolly resting place
on them“. ' ' ~ ‘
Mrs. and Miss Taylor were ready with good
wishes and bright sayings to make the weary
caller forget» himself, and the unfinished half
of his list. . ‘
Mrs. Burr Knapp and daughter, and Mrs.’
Lockwood and friends. Were places where-
thc visitor was apt to run over his time. At
Mrs, W. H. Earle's, the Misses Anna and
Clara Smith and Miss Styles were ready to
discuss the whole range of human knowledge
frOm the'history of the’ English church to
the latest morsel of gossip—shall we say 1’.

There we took what might be called a lunch,
(under a scion of" the original banyan tree,
listening to. the splash of fountains and the
music of operatic airs from the. distance. -
On East Avenue, the Misses-Bennett, Mrs._
Cram and her sisters, MH- Prowitt and
daughter, Mrs. C. s. Lockwood, Mrs. C.
Olmstcad, and Miss ' Emma Lockwood. Mrs.
F. Camp and daughter, Katie and the Misses
Smith, all received, and each with every rc-
quisitc of grace and good taste. .
Miss Julia Lockwood was rarely "omitted,
unless by tho newer element in town.
Mrs. F. St. John Lockwoad and Mrs. W.
II. Smith and Miss Ayres, were at home at
the residence of the former.
Mrs. F. C. Betta, Mrs. Legrand C. Betts
and Miss (‘lara Olmstead made their visitors
welcome, and were complimented by no
refusals to inspect their table, and to inspect
was to partake. Their parlors were decked
out in evergreens, and an elaborate Happy
New Year motto. ‘ ‘ . '
Mrs. Belden and daughters had their open
grate and repast much complimented. '
Dr. Mead received nearly two hundred
calls from his parishioners and friends.
Mrs. Cotter and her sisters, the Misses
Fitch, received together, and had their open
wood-fire. The difficulty in such cases is to
prevent smoking in the presence of the
ladies’. '
Miss Sa dic Miller were at home on High
Street, and some delicate compliment is due
to their tables. Every climate and every
taste united to tempt the caller to forget his
former rashnesscs and out again.
Mrs. E. K. Lockwood had her usual group
of friends around her, Mrs. Neil", Miss Price
and Miss Curtis.
. On Camp Street, Mrs. Joseph W. Wilson
was at: home, and at~ Supt. Sandiforths, Mrs.
S. hadafull train, palace car, handsomely
festooned, and full of ladies and a complete
dining car also mottoed and dressed with
evergreens, her first but [we hope not her
lrot reception. _ A ' .
Mrs. Charles E. St. John received alone.
Mrs. C. H. Street was gracefully assisted
by Miss Annie E. Hall, Miss Smith, and by
Miss Norman of Bridgeport. ‘
, Miss Hutching‘s, the Mrs. Glines and Mrs.
_Dr. Glines received at the residence of“ the
latter.
On Pudding Lane nobody was at home ex-
cept the Misses Flinn, and Miss Lizzie
Brown. '
The whole custom of forgetting care and
giving one whole day to refined good offices
and to keeping old friendships alive is one to
be encouraged. The trouble to the ladies of
getting up elaboratetables is a feature that
time will doubtless change. It is not worth
the trouble and expense. Few can in the
nature of the case partake of its delicacies,
and even then only in name.

day in question and on previous years—or in
discussing the latest novelty in town in the
way of public restaurants. The cores of
the table gun by and by get: the best of
the custom, so let us drop the obnoxious
feature and keep-the custom. A delicate at-
tention in thatcase on the part of the ladies
would be to give free lunch tiékets at Fred
Mead’s to favorite callers, or to those indis-
criminately who happened to call at one
o'clock and six. ‘ mm New Yarn.

Cleanliness.
The public are blissfully ignorant of the filthi-

Moller in his preparation of Con LIVER OIL. It
is a pure and palatable article, 61 iting the most
fastidious, and has taken the It eda as such at

A 'Good Reason for Happiness.
On the 13th of September, 1876, a man of middle
age and gentlemanfy appearance—his face beam-
ing with pleasure-entered Dr. Kennedy’s office
and inquired of the patients in waiting if the
Doctor was In. Being answered in the affirma-
tive, he took a chair to await his turn for an
interview. In due timethe Doctor reached the
stranger and said: “Well. my good friend, what.
can I do for you?" Whereupon the stranger rcpli~
ed: “My namels Washington Monroe. I live in
Catskill, Green county, N. Y., and have come to
Bondoutt‘or no other purpose than to see and
thank you for what you have already done for
me -b means 'of' your medicine, the Favorite
Bemet y. As I see you are very busy I will state
the facts of my case In as few words as possible.
For many years I had suffered from a complaint
which the physicians whom I consulted concern-
ing it agreed In calling Gravel. I successively
employed ' some of the most noted doctors with-
out obtaining any pcrmanentrelief‘. and for along
time my case was regarded hopeless. All who
knew the circumstances said I mustdic. Finally,
my wife induced me to trya bottle ot‘yonr Favor-
ite Remedynvhlch she had had somewhere heard
of, or socn advertised. Without thc‘ slightest
faith in It, but solely to gratlty her,I boughta
bottle of .a druggist In our village. I used that
and two or three bottles more. and—to make a
long story short—I am now a grateful. ha py.
and \as far as' I knowlas healthy is man as t rare
In in the country. . ’
“since then I have gone on circulating my story
and recommending your medicine to others of my
acquaintance whom I knew to have rendered from
Kidney and Liver complaints ; and althou h
the assertion ma be doubted by the
i uorant and mcredu pns,,I assure. you, air, and
t. rough you the public that the Favority Item-
edy has done its work with a similar complete-
ncsh In every Single Instance. 1 thank you, Doc-
tor, for your medicines. and I rejoice in the good
fortune which led you to discover and circulate it;
and it is m hope, and that ot‘others I know. that.
‘ on may 0 spared to introduce the Favorite
emedy intp every part of the country. It is just
what aufi‘enng mortals need. You are at liberty
to make mention of my case in any way you may
think heat, and I trust someot her sick and discou-
ragcdmortal may hear of it and try the Favorite
Remedy, as l dit . . .
Mr. Monroe’s case-although remarkablc— is
only one ofmany similar ones which might be
atom-were It necessary. To those who ordinarily
call in questi-m the genuinenesa ot the mass of
medical testimonials,“ may be worth while to
point out the fact that the case above cited is lo-
cated within twent miles of the city in which
the Favorite Remct y is mahufacturedmnd can be
easily contradicted it untrue in any pig-ticular.
