There has been much excitement the past
week over the arrest of the late tax collector,
Charles Comstock, and several others, on the
charge of stealing cattle. They have been in
the care of keepers for several days. and
were to have had a hearing before a justice
today (Monday), when it is thought that one
of the assistants, who is now under arrest.
will turn state’s eyidcncc and convict the

On Saturday evening, the barn of F. _E_

Sheriff Dayton, as the property of Charles
Comstock stolen. - '
The insurance on George L. Dann’s barn
was in the Norwalk Ins. 00., for $400. . On
account of some change in the property title,
their liability had ceased—but the officers
very honorably offer to pay the actual cost if
the proper person entitled to it can be found.

CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
Selectman W. C. Sammis has made a tour
for the purpose of examining the condition
of the roads and bridges in this district. He
is satisfied that with so small an amount of
the appropriation for repairs of the highways
which is left after the City and Borough have-
gobbled up their amount, but little thorough
repairs can be made. He has, however, or—
dered a thorough repair of the bridge near
J ohnson’s mill, and the work has been thor-
oughly done by Mr. LcGrand Johnson. The
policy or economy of using spruce plank for
bridges is doubted by many, when oak or
chestnut can be had as cheap, if not cheaper.
Young men of the city and Borough seem
to know where there are pleasant drives and
where Social enjoyment is to be had, so they
frequently visit .our city. Sometimes they
encounter showers, or are caught out in a
storm and thick darkness. Such was the
case last Thursday night, but their entertain
crs provided every comfort for them. and
their teams, and all, even the “champion
walker,” was happy. Only one thing marred
the happiness of the visit rs. The young
ladies could not go out to assist them in bar-
nessing their horses, but furnishing them
with a lantern, allowed them to do it. “Old
Boreas” was rampant, and blew out the light.
Another attempt was made with better suc—
cess until the stable was reached when
“Bearsy” stepped upon the feet of a sleeping
ox. Frightened and excited, all beat a hasty
retreat, and when assured that the ox would
not kick or bite, another successful attempt
was mad-.-, and the vehicles soon were ready
for the rile homcwaid. ‘ The “Daguerrian”
of the company would give 50 cents for a
good copy of that scene, but it could not be
had without “Littcll” trouble and then would
have been a little “Finny-cn.”
‘ A Mr. Taylor of New York has rented the.
premises of Miss F. A. Selleck, and has taken
possession of it with his family.
While two of our most exemplary young
men were at Darien on Saturday evening,
they were surrounded by about a baker’s
dozen of the would be bloods of that city,
and charged with some not to which they
pleaded not guilty. This did not seem to
satisfy them, and threats were made of
thrashing, blacking of eyes, etc. The young
men not relishing such company, drove away
resolved that when visiting Darien again,
they will go better prepared to meet such
bullies who it would be a slander to call
gentlemen.

The M. E. Church Lyceum meets Friday
evening.
Two young ge'ntleinen. Master Frank Wil-
liams son of the clergyman, and Master John
J. Marvin, son of William HfMarvin are at
present devoting that portion of their time
not given to study, to the breeding of fowls.
Each has a henery on a small scale, and each
is putting his best efforts forward to outdo
' the other in. the kind of hens handled and
the quality and size of eggs produced. Rel—
ative to the latter, however, their encourage-
mentis not flattering in a market which en—
ables them to realizes but 14 cents per dozen.
At this time Williams has anchored his hopes
on Plymouth Rocks, while Marvin risks his
fortunes on Light Brahmas. The two meet
now and then, and if reports can be relied on
their greeting and conversation partakes of
something like the following :—W.——“Ob,
your Brahmas are nowhere along side of my
Plymoulhs, which are among the finest of do-
mestic poultry, general favorites in all direc—
tionse-very hardy birds, easy to keep, excel-
lent layers, uot inclined to sit, ample in size
—in fact good, honest every—day fowls.
M.——”All that sounds well enough, but I
wouldn’t take a dozen of your Plymouths
for one of my Brahmas which are known
the world Over as the most- generally popular
and desirable improved domestic fowls ex-
tant ; for all useful purposes they will remain
at the head of the fowl list, without any real
rival; they are good either for fancy breed—
ing or for marketing, and will reproduce their
like truthfully. I don’t want a fowl all bon
and no meat on it.” '
A new Verandah just constructed adds to
the beauty of Mr. Frederick Morehouse’s res-
idence on Wright street. We know of at
least one near neighbor who will accept an
invitation to. sit withhim upon it during

summer. ‘
Something of the old—time activity char—
acteristic of our town is noticable in Mr. H.
Staples’ lumber yards. 'l‘li’b rapid disappear-
ance of the great stock of material put in by
him recently, suggests that- the prosperous
times so long predicted are pither near or
have actually arrived. Everywhere people
seem to be taking advantage of the low
prices which'the veteran lumber dealer oflers
to build new houses or repair thevold. The
best of it all is, the comfortable assurance
given out that this condition of things is
likely to continue. ‘
At the annual parish meeting of Christ
church held Monday, April 14, the old board
of Wardens and Vestrymen was re—elected.
Messrs. George S. Adams and Andrew Nash
were elected delegates to the Diocesan cone
vention, Mr. John Gotham was chosen sexton
and the rector, Rev. John R. Williams was
granted a four weeks’ leave of absence, his
pulpit to be supplied by the church while he
is away. This kind act was prompted on
the part of the parish bya desire to enable
their pastor to take means looking to a resto-
ration of his health, which for- some weeks
has seemed to be on the decline. The rever—
end gentleman will dccide presently whether
he will go South or in some other direction.
The snow which fell Saturday brought to
mind the snow storm which occurred at about
the same date in April, 1854—twenty-five
years ago. Snow fell then almost uninter—
ruptedly for three days, a strong cast wind
banking it up in some places three and four
feet high. Birds which had returned to
choose mates and build nests were frozen to
death in large numbers, and those who had
taken time by the forelock and planted their
gardens were‘ much troubled in spirit as to
what might be the result. Winter, for the
there was no preaching service at the Union nonce, seemed to have come back again, the
chapel. Amonthly Sunday school concert
was announced to be held on the first Sunday
evening in May. .. _

The entertainment which was to have been

weather was so unfavorable on that evening.
Our Court of Burgesses met on last Wed—
nesday evening. when another one of those
firey and interesting sessions for which said
The billof tho-
St’atc of Connecticut. $1.50, was presented
andforderetl paid. The bill of Mr. Picker,
$6.67, was reported by the Finance Commit-
tee to be correct and was ordered paid. The
bill of'Cnse, Leckwood, Brainerd & Co ,. of
Hartford. $25.50, after a heated discusswn
was referred to the Finance Committee. The
last named bill was for printing the proposed
amendments to the Borough Charter, for the
useof the General Assembly of the State of
Connecticut. Burgess SciViter opposed the
bill on the ground that the‘proposed amend-
ments were laid on the table by the Court,
and at the time they were taken to_Hartford
the Court had not yet taken themfrom the
table. Attorney Giddings was requested to
give a statement concerning the matter,
which he did, claiming that the paper did
not‘helong to the Court. Mr. Giddings is the
person that took the paper to Hartford and
laid- it before the Committee on Cities and
Boroughs, who reported favorably upon it
and the General Assembly passed the amend-
ments. Mr. E. Roberts opposed him (Gid-
dings). and claimed that no person had aright
to take the paper to the Assembly unless
.so ordered by the the Court which was not
done, and furthermore that the paper 1!] dis-
pute is still on the table and remains there
unless the Court votes to take it up for con-
sideration. Some very heated remarks were
used during the discussion between Messrs.
Giddings and Roberts. ‘ _
Reports from the Borough Su_rveyor_in
'regard to the changes required in grading
a number of streets were read and accepted
and the Borough clerk was instructed .to
notify the property owners on the east side
of Sherman stecrt to properly grade and
repair their side walks within the next
three months. Thus ended the most stormy
session of the Court which has been held
thus far. The Hartford bill will come_up
again for discussion at the next meeting
when more trouble may be expected.

The elevated roads in New York city
have changed the aspect of the “parallel
road” question, so hotly argued in our leg-
islature a few years ago. Now it is not so
important to get into the heart of the city
with a rival road, for connection will easily
be made with the elevated roads at the.
upper end of the city. The New York and
New England road will soon push italino
through Danbury to Brewsters, and at that
point connection will be made with New
York by a new road called the New York
and Northern, for which the contract has
been given to Lewis Roberts of Tarrytown'j
,It is' expected the road will be in operation.
to Tarrytown by July 4. It begins at
Spuyten Luyvil, but as seen as a new
bridge is ccmpletedfiover the Harlem river
it will connect probably with the elevated
road. In this way a new through line from
Boston to New York may be formed.

Entroas GAZETTE :—in your issue of the
15th Inst.,-under title of “Letters from the
People,” there appeared an article signed
“A_p'relating to the annual meeting of the
Fairfied County Medical Society for 1879.
While this article gives the impression that
Dr. Pardee evidently desires, it by no means
represents the truth. Permit us, therefore.
through the columns of your valuable jour—
nal. to set forth the following facts: Dr.
Pardcc is a member of a medical organization
auxiliary to the State and the United States
MedicalAssociation, the aim of which is to
advance medical and surgical knowledge and
generally to promote the interests of its
members as well as that of the community at
large. This Society like other organizations
tain by—laws, rules, and regulations, &c.
Whether all its regulations subservc this
purpose it is not necessary at this time to
enquire, suffice it to say that they exist and
the members of the Society are supposed to be
governed by them, and in case of violating
by the majority thought to be just and
expedient.
If a member finds any of the rules obnox-
ious he has simply to resign, but while a
member of the Society and availing himself
of its priviligcs, annuities and aids, he must
be amenable to its rulings.
To this Dr. Pardec evidently objects, his
professional conduct has been in many points
at varience with the rules and by laws of
this Society, a fact well known by members
of the profession in this and neighboring
towns; consequently, three years ago, Dr.
E. P. Bennett, of Danbury, who was then
President of the Fairficld County Medical
Society, advised him to resign his member-
ship. His placc was clearly not in the Society.
But advice was of no avail. He must have
known that his conduct would .be investiga-
ted, and by many he was thought to desire
attention of this kind. In his own words,
“If you want to help a man, persecute him,
persecute him!" Well, he may be said to
have fairly courted what he chooses to call
persecution, with what result remains to be
seen. His “devious ways” and his attempts
to ignore the rules of the State Society and
the code of Ethics of the American Medical
Association for his own emoluments, as well
as his general unprofessional conduct were
presented in several separate charges. By
no means were all the cases of the above
character presented but only certain ones
as examples and specifications.
Leaving entirely out of the question the
matter of his professzbnal relations with his
wife Dr. Emily V. D. Pardee. the charges
of habitual professional intercourse in assist-
ing and calling in consultation on several
occasions those whom he had no right as a
member of the County or State Medical
Societies to meet in this manner, were thor-
oughly sustained by several examples.
This is clearly an affair involving his
relation to the aforesaid Societies, of their
rules and regulations. As he would not
resign but continued his practices while
denying the same, the, Society was forced in
notice to itself to' investigate the subject.
Bis solemn denials are quite as much a part
of his guilt as the acts themselves.
Omitling the further charges for gross
unprofessional nduct in his behavior to
other physicians, permit me finally to
allude to his violation of articles lst, page 3d,
and article 1st, page 15th of the code of ethics
of the American Medical Association.
It appears on investigation to use the
phraseolowy of the charges in this case,
“That It . B. Pardee, M. D.. on or about
the 22d day of Oct. A. D. , 1879, at said tomi
of Norwalk, did wantonly, unnecessarily,
and unjustly coerce and prevail upon Mrs.
Augusta F. Allmand, then and there, of
said Norwalk, to yield her consent against
her wishes and against the council and ad-
vice of her the said Augusta F. Allmand's
friends to the performance of a post-mortem
examination of the body of John Allmand the
late husband of her the said Augusta F. A1!-
mand,by him the said Moses B. Parde3,M.D.
The above charge was supported by
the affidavits of Rev; S. B. S. Bissell, Rev.
J ohu A. Hamilton, Joseph W. Wilson Esq.
as well as that of Mrs. Allmand. . Dr.
Pardce says according to Mr. Wilson's aili—
davit that “corporations have 'no souls.”
How much of a soul has an individual who
would thus harass and torment a lady within
8 hours of the death of her husband and that
too while a legal inquest was being held
which would have ordered an examination
had it been deemed necessary. And the
Doctor very well knew it was the custoln of
the physicians hero to perform such exami-
nations frec of charge, unless ordered by legal
authority.
On all the charges he was found guilty
with but a single dissenting ballot. At this
sesswn of the Society were representatives
from some 12 cities and towns of the
county. The matter goes to the Slate Medi~
cal Society for final hearing and decision,
thus giving the greatest possible opportunity
for defence and exhonoration. A copy of all
the charges having been furnished him 12
days previous to his hearing before the
County Society,» that if possible he might
defend himself. '
The above is simply a true statement of the
facts. Dr. Pardec is still a member of the
County Society pending the decision of the
State Society.
ONE ACQUAINTED WITH THE FACTS.
Details of the Huge Loan.
The great sensation in financial circles
Thursday, was the subscription made by the
First National Bank of $150,000,0004per
cent. bonds and $40,000,000 funding cer—
tificates, which practically provides for the
prompt funding of the 10—40 loan‘ of $194,-
566,300. The recent enormous sales of4
per cent, bonds created a fear that there
might be a movement abroad to monopolize
the sales of this loan. and yesterday the
First National Bank, and Fisk & Hatch,largc
dealers in Government securities, conferred
together and decided to form a Syndicate
to make an immediate subscription. Banks
and bankers in this city, conspicuous for
dealings in United States bonds, were called
upon, and in nearly every instance sub—
scriptions were made at once. Dispatches
were sent to Boston, and responses were
equally as prompt, the Maverick National
Bank answering: “We will go in; put us
down for $10,000,000. President will, leave
for New York to-night.”
The Syndicate was not fully organized until
after the close of business hours in \Vash—
ington, and the bid for all the 4 per cents.
available for funding the 10—40 loan was
not telegraphed in time to receive a response
before the Treasury Department was closed
for the day. Earlier in the day the Bank.
of New, York forwarded a subscription for
$6,000,000to meet the demands of current
business. Hatch & Foote sent asubscription
for $2,000,000, and it was semi-officially
reported that Morton, Bliss & 00. had
subscribed for $50,000,000. The Syndicate
which has made this unparalleled subscrip—
tion of $190,000,000 is composed, it is un—
derstood, of the First National Bank, Fisk
& Hatch, the Metropolitan National Bank,
Winslow, Lanicr 65 (20., J. d: IV. Seligman,
Morton, Bliss &. 00., the Third National
Bank, the Bank of New York, the American
Exchange Bank, the Park National Bank,
Hatch & Footc, Vcrmilye & 00., United
States Trust Company, Kuhn, Loeb 6:. 00.,
and the New York branch of the Bank of
Nevada. of this city ;‘the Maverick National
Bank, Foot 8: French and C. A. Street 85
Co., of Boston—making institutions repre-
senting a combined capital of over $100,-
000,000. The subscription is the largest
one ever 'made to a Government funded
loan in this or any other country. The
four largest :loans in their order are as
follows : _
Sept., ’71—5 per cent. loan, under Sec-
tary Boutwcll,

The American ,Péople
Know and appreciate a good thing. _ The
measure of success attending the sale of the
Sulphur Bitters proves this. No words are
needed to prove the. value of Sulphur as
Nature's own agent for removing all impuri-
iy from the blood. Dr. Kauffmau, of Berlin,
has after many years of study succeded in
combining Sulphur with the richest juices of
roots and herbs well known for their medici-
nal qualities and thus produced the wonder—
ful remedy, Sulphur Bitters. It most
carefully tested by those -w'cll kno chem-
ists, Messrs. A. P. Ordway & 00., of Law-
rence, Mass, ere they placed it before the
public. The result has far exceeded their
most sanguine expectations. They cannot
meet the demand and are forced ~to enlarge
their manufactory. The Bittersact directly
on the liver and blood, not as in the. case
with most medicine, giving only temporary
relief, but removing the cause of the disease.
Physicians are recommending them to their
patients, Dr. Kauffman’s name alone being a
sufficient guarantee that they are all they
claim to be, and the result invariably proves
the wisdom of their reccommendation.
Sulphur Bitters may be freely taken by the
most temperate people as they contain no
alcohol. A trial of the hitters is not an ex.
pensive one, and one trial will convince the
most skeptical of their value. *
