I‘he Horse Railway.
,sveral persons ’have stopped to commend
our observations upon the necessity of turn.
ing the present three switches on our horse
railway line into a single extended 0118.
Between the two M. E. churches there is
ample width of highway to admit of it
Without detriment to carriage travel and as
it is a public need, the public wrll sooner .or
later demand the proposed improvement.
Thus constructed there would be . eventually
a double track to South Norwalk, while .at
the narrow points both at the Bridge and
City only the present single track would be
required. So please shove the good work
along friend Hyatt, while the laborers need
the work and accept low wages.

want of a large number of the largest Sized
earthenware flower pots, and after hunting
' the only place
all about finally learned that . .
where they could be found in America was
at the Norwalk Pottery 0f Asa E. Smith’s
'Sons. An order was sent up here for them
and the next day _ our friend “Asa” shipped
eight hundred, which were billed to the city
of New York at one dollar each.

Moved.
Jas. S. Earle, (Earle 6: Smith,) has re-
moved into his fine new house just com-
pleted on Arch street. It is somewhat after
the style or D.'. Nolan’s new house and is
a decided ornament to the architecture of
Arch street. We congratulate our friend
upon the good business fortune that has
brought him so delightful a residence in
these hard times.
. W
New House.
The Day house adjoining Mrs. Dr. Lyncs,
on West Avenue, is now being sided up. It
is to be mansard roofed and a showy edifice.
The grade of the lot is also left at its full
natural elevation. A few dollars for a taste-
ful plan in building a house, is the very
wisest expenditure made.
- _._..__———
Another House.
James J. Scoficld, of Scofield & Hoyt, has
purchased one of the prettiest building lots
in the vicinity of the Bridge and is going to
put up a residence immediately. The lot is
on Belden Avenue, between the house and
ham of the old estate and runs from street to
- street, '75 feet front and rear and some 200
feet in depth. His new .house will be a
neat and tasty edifice, and is another evi-
dence of the successful presperity attending
the Norwalk Dry Goods Stores. '
————___.__..____._--——_——
Improved.
Ferd. Smith, (Earle & Smith) has partially
remedied the lack of architectural taste in
his new house, by placing an iron cresting
on top the front bay window and centre
of the roof.

New and Valuable Books.
Mrs. Capt. Ryder is canvassing for sev-
eral of the latest and choicest publications
of the Messrs. Harpers. The list comprises
such subscription works as Stanley’s re-
searches in Africa, Wm. Cullen Bryant’s
poetical works and collations, the, &c.
We bespeak for the worthy lady and her
worthy books, the generous consideration of
our people. ‘
Temperance.
Mrs. L. Youmans, President of the Pro-
vincial Christian Temperance Union, of Can-
ada, has spent .the greater part of the winter
in the States, lecturing on Temperance. She
has been laboring in Brooklyn, Boston, and
other places by invitation of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Unions. She is very
much admired ,as a Christian lady and Ice-
turer; Parties here who heard her last Fall
have been anxious to get her to visit Norwalk.
A‘ themselves of the privilege of hearing her.
She will also speak in Music Hall, on Sub'~
bath afternoon, at a quarter before four.
Miss Carter’s Schtbl.
The exercises—we can hardly say enhe'bi-
tion—of this school, in the chapel of the
Congregational Society, on Thursday, the lat
of May, were attended by a very respectable
number of the patrons and other friends of.
the school, and gave entire satisfaction.
While the essays, music, recitations and sing-
ing were of a high order in general,—some
very praiseworthy and Snjoyablc, it was very
evident from the recitations of the classes—
especially in the more solid and practical
studies (notably in arithmetic and history)
that in this school the useful is not sacrificed
to the ornamental. The discipline and drill
of the pupils manifestly command their
respect and obedience.
Eggstraordinary.
First Selectman Andrew Selleck has laid
before us one of the most prodigious hens’
eggs we have ever had a chance to crack a
“goak” about or shell out to the public. The ‘
1
size of the wonder is , by 9% inches in cir-
cumference. Sellcck, like the great George
Washington, whom he resembles in many
important particulars, is going to—hatch-et.
We predicted years ago, when our friend
was paying $25 a piece for his roosters, that
he would yet be heard from in a way to im-
mortalize himself.

The grandmothers of the present genera-
tion, and many of the mothers, were amused
and entertained, and doubtless profited, by
the literary work of Mrs. Sarah J. B, Hale,
the venerable lady who ‘died in Philadelphia
on Wednesday, in her ninetieth year,and who
from 1828 until 1877 was the editor of Go-
dey's Lady Book or its predecessor. Aside
from her work on the magazine, Mrs. Hale
was the author of a score of books.
MrrBenj. F. Bailey, of Danbury, is booked
for Lockwood’s Hall, Wednesday evening, to
dehver his lecture, “Five years in Mexico,
Texas and Louisiana during the war." We
cheerfully recommend Mr. Bailey to the pub-
lic as one well deserving of the patronage of
our citizens, for we personally knew of what
and whom we speak, and claim him for
a most entertaining speaker; those who
attend will be well pleased. The Danbury
News, in a notice of his lecture in Bethel for
the benefit of the firemen, says: “The attrac-
tiveness about Mr. Bailey is his naturalncss.
There is nothing stilted, no straining after
effect. It is as if. he were telling his advenf
tures in his own parlor to a circle of friends.
From time to there were gleams of genuine
fun and humor, and then by a change of
scene he drew pictures so pathetic, so sor—
rowful, so sad, as to cause tears to flow from
the more sensitive of his audience. Before
closing his narrative, which, by the way, was
his experience in the South and in the Con-
federate army for five years, he recited the
“Apostrophe to Two Glasses," which showed
Mr. Bailey to he possessed of elocutionary
powers of high order.” Tickets can be pro-
cured at Prowitt’s drug store and J. L.
Harlem’s. »

Close Shaving.
Gus Franke has had out his patent lawn
mower and practiced with wonderful suc-
ces upon his own and master Fred’s caputs.
The machine will shave closer than a bro—

Mr. Josiah Kellogg has raised the frame of
a large burn on his new farm—late the
Osborn place. The old Kellogg homestead,
which he has so lately vacated, had been in
'the possession of the family for 90 years,
having been successively occupied by his
father, Eseck, and grandfather, Stephen
Kellogg. and it is yet in a good state of
preservation.
'Masonic. .
St. J ohn’s Lodge No. 6, of Norwalk, had
a convocation of unusual interest at their
Lodge Room in Gazette Building on Thurs-
day cvcning last. Invitations were extend-
ed to all adjoininglodges to meet the breth-
ren of St. John’s Lodge and join them in
their work in the Master Mason Degree.
Over two hundred brethren responded and
their beautiful and spacious Hall was rowd-
ed to its utmost limits, Ark Lodge of
Georgetown was represented by some thirty
members; Temple Lodge of Westport by
forty-two; Old Well Lodge, South Norwalk,
by forty-five, andHarmony of New Canaan,
by thirty. At the conclusion of the mystic
ceremonies at the Lodge Room, the crowd
proceédcd to Lockwood’s Hall, where the
wives, daughters and sweet-hearts of the
fraternity had four tables spread the full
length of the Hall, and‘ seats for an even
two hundred. The tables were loaded to
repletion with cold meats, cakes, fruits, ice
cream forms and flowers, while the active
corps of lady helpers kept the tables steaming
with the most delicious coffee. Two hun—
dred and fifty meals were served, with pro-
visions still left, abundantly and to spare.
At the conclusion of this “square” meal, the
Brethren were summoned to order and all
present and past Masters were required to
seat themselves upon the. platform. This
done, Past Master Asa Smith holding a
jewel case in hand, approached Worshipful
Master A. C. Golding and inflicted upon
him the following neat and crispy little
speech:
Wonsnll'rrr. Bnornsu Gunmen—The
members- of St. John’s Lodge, No. 6, desir-
.ous of expressing by a suitable testimonial
their appreciation of your satisfactory admin-
istration of the affairs of the Lodge while its
Worshipful Master, and as an acknowledge-
ment of the many and valuable servrccsreu-
dered by you, have procured and have delc-
gated to me the pleasing duty of presenting
you this beautiful Past Master's jewel. I am
not a believer in the fulsomc adulation of any
man, butIcannot refrain on this occasmn
from referring to some of the characteristics
of your public and masonic life which has
called forth this tribute of the respect
and esteem of your brethren. Never negli-
gent of any known duty, at all times Willing
to render any assistance in your power, ever
ready to communicate light and knowledge
to an uninformed brother, exemplifying by
,your life and' character outSlde of the
Lodge the beauty of the tenets which
are taught in it, untiring in intelligent and_
earnest efforts to advance the best interests
of your Lodge, and in every respect proving
yourself worthy of bearing the proud title of
a true Mason and Christian gentleman. It is
a consideration of these qualities and services
which has prompted the gift and . gives it its
value, and although the consolousncss of
being worthy of the respect and esteem of
our fellow men should give greater satisfac-
tion than the possession of “gold or gems,”
I feel sure that this memento Will be highly
prized by you, and as time rolls on when in
later years you look upon this jewel it will
recall pleasing memories of your association
with the Brethren of St. Johns‘ Lodge, and
afford many delightful and refreshing remi-
nisences of your labor in the cause of ma-
sonry and humanity. Take the jewel, my
brother, for it is worthily yours, and With it
the best wishes of your brethren and of. this
entire community for your future happiness
and welfare. - .

It 'was prepared from designs furnished by
our well known Jeweler—~Spcncer, and-
reflects thehighest credit upon his good
taste and artistic judgment. Its cost was
$75 and was a complete surprise to Brother
Golding. He briefly and heartily thanked
his brethren for the rich present, but said he
had never made a speech in his life and they
must accept his grateful acknowledgements
for the rich and costly" gift in lieu of any
extended remarks -Near midnight the joy—

went on board, and served an attachment.
The writ was issued by Nelson Taylor,
counsel for Mr. Boole and C. Swartz, who
have brought suit for damages growing out
of the Adelphicxplosion. Capt. Holton at
once returned to New York and reported
the state of affairs to Com. White. Mr.
Perkins was sent for, and came up during
the night to arrange matters. Bonds were
given by M. Becker, Burr Smith and Mr.
Perkins for the return of the boat in 48
hours. The arrangement was completed
just in time so that the boat could leave at
the regular hour. On Saturday another
attachment was put on by administrators of
a; estate of Elijah Belts, of Wilton, killed
at the time of the explosion, but the Trustees
immediately took possession of her one
writ of' replevni and she departed on time,
Monday morning, and she will be run by
them hereafter with no further danger of
delay by similar attachments. The trustees
for the bondholders of the Columbia Steam
N vigation Company are Messrs. John

News comes from Newark, N. _J:,,thnt our
old friend DaVid II. Morris has retired from
the well-known firm of Morris 1k- Doty and
from active business, at least for the present.
The business will be continued by a new firm
with Isaac N. Doty. at the head, and will
include Mr. Saunier a member of the old
firm, and George Fearn, head salesman.
Morris A: Doty were always enterprising and
wide awake merchants, and deserved the
success they always achieved. With Mr.
Doty at the helm the new firm wdl be sure
to prosper.

New Borough By-Laws.
Attention is specially directed to the new
By-Laws passed by the Court of Bui‘geSSes
of the Borough.
Burglar-s were around again last Tuesday
night, after the show. They made a number
of attempts to pry up windows at the resi—
dence of Mr. I. R. Doty, West Avenue, but
it is thought were frightened off by the dog.
They succeeded in entering one room in
Father Russell’s, next door, but left without
securing any plunder. The same night they
entered Mr. Benedict’s, Chapel street, and
going into the sleeping room occupied by
Geo. M. Benedict and his clerk, Frank More
gan, made off with Mr. Morgan's clothcs'
which they robbed of silver watch and
money valued at about $30, leaving the
clothing behind. They evidently departed
in a hurry.
Busmnss CHANGE—Tile drug firm of
chnierd'. Glines has been dissolved, Mr.
.Regnicr retiring. Mr. Glincs will conduct
‘thc business in future, and will make im-
provements at once which will add to the

The mud-digger is in our harbor. Ought
not an effort be made to have the appropria-
tion spent this year on the cross channel. It
not, probably the whole amount will be ex-
pended as usual in opening navigation to
Winnipauk.--Sentinel.
It is too bad, neighbor, but then as the city
part of the harbor is already all that can be
desired no appropriationc, needed there.
Because you are nicely fix you should not
begrudge your neighbors what little help they
need. '

Railroad Fares Reduced.
The selection of the Hon. Mr. Watrous to -
succeed Hon. Wm. D. Bishop as President
of the Consolidated Railroad, as we then
predicted, meant much more than bringing
to that important office more technical rail—
road skill. Mr. Watrous is a gentleman of
eminent ability not only, but of a'thoroughly
practical and common sense turn of mind.
He at once saw that it was as needful for the
complete success of this great property that
it should have the confidence and good will of
the public just as much as any other com-
mercial interest. He has just recognized his
full appreciation of the fact that the travel-
ing public should, by reasonable concessions
be made to feel that their interests and that
of the road are mutual, and has made a large
reduction in the rates of commutation, and
what is even greater convenience, especially
to' summer visitors to the country—has
arranged a table of one, two, three, four and
six months’ rates, in addition to the former
three, six, nine and twelve months' rates.
Efforts had frequently been made in previous
years to secure this result but without avail.
Indeed, the feeling was wide-spread that this
best and most valuable piece of railroad
property in America was run solely in the
interests of those craving its dividends.
Then, too, we learn that it is in contempla—
tion to put on a cheap train to be called the
“steamboat train,” which shall run up and
down daily to accommodate the masses who
require cheap fares, and that the round trip
ticket from South Norwalk, for example, is
to be but one dollar. ~ There isn’t a doubt but
that if the ante-war passenger rates were re—
cstablishcd all along the line, -a greater gross
amount of earnings would be harvested by
the road. Its popularity and prosperity
would be greatly enhanced and the dividends
to its stockholders not diminished, while the
growth of the towns and communities along
its line would be greatly stimulated. The
construction of the Elevated Railroad in the
city has made Connecticut a still more invit-
ing place for residence than ever before. In
behalf of the road and the people we rejoice
that good common sense and businesshwisdom
in this great corporation's‘managemeut seems
likely to govern in its future administration.
We copy the following from its new rates of
commutation: from South Norwalk, First
month, $16; second. $14; third, $12.50 ;
fourth, $11 ; fifth, $10.50 ; sixth, S9, and
balance, $7 each month.
Mr. Doolittle, of Bridgeport, was in town
yesterday, looking after Telephone matters.
He hopes to raise a company here, and push
the construction of his lines. If his plans
are carlicd out Norwalk will be put in con-
nection with Bridgeport, New Haven,
Mcriden, Hartford and other places.

An important case has been decided in the
courts, which if sustained, may effect many
others. Town Tax Collector Raymond sold
at auction, for taxes, the place at South
Norwalk occupied by Mr. Marshal Tolles.
The usual deed was made out and given to
the buyer, Mr. B. J. Sturges, who left it
with the Town Clerk, as prescribed by law.
At the end of a year, it went to record, and
Mr. Sturges was supposed to have a strong
title. He then conveyed it to Mr. Tolles‘s
brother-in law, Mr. Thos. I. Raymond.
After the conveyance, Mr. Lewis Raymond
appeared, holding a mortgage of $6,000 or
so, and claiming the place. The case went
to the court, and the judge decided it in favor
of Mr. Raymond, on the ground that the sale
had not been conducted strictly according to
law. Thecase has been appealed.

The District Telephone.
The Western Union Company are rapidly
pushing the consti'uction of the District Tel-
ephone to unite the Borough and City.. The
wires have already been put up in the city,
connecting all the subsciibers with the cen-
tral office which will be located in the rooms
formerly occupied by the Sentinel at South
Norwalk. Probably the workmen will com-
mence tip-town to-day. The work is being
done under the direction of Mr. McAuliffe,
General Superintendent of Construction for
“derive operation by the end of this week.
The hat factories 'at South Norwalk will prob-

Rev. James W. Hubbcll, of Wilton, for-
mei‘ly pastor of the College street church in
New Haven, onSunday last read a letter to
the church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
which he has been serving for two years past,
declining an earnest request from that people
to become their pastor, and announcing that
he had accepted a call tendered him from
Danbury. The Portsmouth Chronicle says:
“Mr. Hubbcll while here has made many
firm friends among ,our people, and among
them are included many belonging to other.
religious societies; and his departure is a
\loss to Portsmouth. He is a gentleman of
liberal views, a preacher of acknowledged
power, and as a citizen and friend is of the
most genial and agreeable character. We
like such a cheerful and pleasant man for a
clergyman, who leaves upon the mind the
memory of the familiar hymn, ‘Religion was
never designed to make our pleaurcs less.’ "

W. (l. Coup‘s great show arrived here early
last Tuesday in a thoroughly soaked condi-
tion. The village of tents, however, was
promptly set up, and the street parade, was
made about noon. Performances were given
afternoon and cvenining, before large audi-
ences. The first tent contained . the wild
animals, curiosities, &c. Several advertised
features were rather slim, especially the
great sea aquarium, and many‘ people were
disappointed becauscthe devil fish was not
alive. The circus part of the show was one
of much interest. The trained animals were
a strong feature, the wonderful horses and
dogs giving great pleasure.

he lost largely, and at his death his fortune
was not great. His life was heavily insured.
Mr. Skiddy married Miss St. John of Nor—
walk, Conn, who survives him. His only
daughter is the wife of C. P. Fischer, of this
City. He had a son who died several years
ago. For many years Mr. Skiddy lived at
Flftli ave. and 'l‘llirty-sceond-st., but last year
he gave up his house and with his family
spent the Summer at West Point and Saratoga.
lJis health was falling at that time. Upon
returning to this city, he took up his resi—
dence at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The func—
ral will take place on Monday at 3:30 p. m.,
at the Church of the Holy Trinity.
N. Y. Tribune.
In the early days of steamboating Mr.
Skiddy was for several years associated with
the late Commodore Vanderbilt in enterprises
of that sort, and one of the day boats of the
New York and Albany line bore his name till
long after Mr. Skiddy had sold out his inter-
est in the transportation business.
“ Hundreds of commercial men will re-
member Mr. Skiddy as one of the kindest,
most trustworthy and most upright men
among all the elder merchants. He was
known to be generous even to a fault, and
scores of young men now prosperous in busi-
ness owe their success to his beneficent and
diplomatic aid in giving them a start. No
young man known to be worthy of assistance
cve‘r appealed to him without getting it. He
did many acts of pure charity also and alwavs
without the slightest ostentation. He was'a
director in a large number of fire andlife in—
surance companies, but always declined to
have anything to do with public office or
public undertakings of any kind.
Mr. Minford, speaking of his old partner
said, “He Was the best man I ever knew, and
I don’t believe there is a man in New York
who has done so much good as he has dohe.
He could never say ‘no’ when appealed to for
substantial aid. 1 was his partner for twenty
one years, and during all that time we were
never anything but the best of friends. He
was truly generous to a fault and the pinkgof

Good Seed.
One of the most important things for
one whoenjdys a good garden or bed of
flowers, is to have good reliable seeds not
only well matured, but true to their pro-
fessed names. In this respect it saves much
time, fret and money to send direct to a
capable and reliable seedman like the Thor-
burn's of 15 John street, N. Y. We have
adopted this plan for several years and was
never disappointed in a single instance.

repetition of the feature which proved so
attractive and so instructive last Spring, the
transfer of her entire school for one day to

parents were enabled to see for themselves
the work in which their children are daily
engaged throughout the year. The essays,
music and elocution were certainly of a high
order, and would have done credit to young
ladies of more advanced years. But perhaps
even a more interesting part of the school
work was. the practical demonstration of
recitationsin history, mathematics, Latin and
kindred subjects, which are too often neg-
lected for more showy but less solid studies.
Here the pupils were evidently at home, and
both felt and showed that daily practice was

CIIOWJACKSON’BBEST Swnn'r N kvx Tonlicco.
From the Rondout “Freeman.”
, A Clear Inference.
it is too true that most of the patented medical
preparations thrown on the market emanate from
men who can lay nojust claim to a professional
education, and who are. consequently. totally un-
qualified to originate u. really valuable prepara-
tion. But we ave the lensure of stating that
wc‘know of one except on at least to this rule.
We rci'erto Dr. Kennedy, of hmdont, N. Y., the
discoverpr and proprietor of the popular medl-
Clnc entitled the Favorite Remedy. He is not a
stranger in this region of country.but a regular
and favorably known physician and surgeon of
ltondout, where he has practiced his profession
for eight years with a degree of success which
has surprised not only the general community.
but also other momncrsoi' the medical fraternity.
Dr. Kennedy is a. graduate of the College of l’hy-
sicians and Surgeons of the city of New York, and
was for three years a surgeon in the United States
army during our into war. He has also been a.
member for several years of the Ulster County
Medical Society. As «surgeon he has no superi-
or in the State—being smgularly bold, skillful and
unprecédcntly successful in his operations. Is
it not a ialrinference. we ask, that when a sur-
geon, who has operated in so many vital cases
and never lost one of them. assures the people
that the Favorite Remedy purifies the blood,
thereby curing Scofuln and all Scrol‘ulous Affec-
tions, Billions Disorders, Kidney Complaiints,.
Constipation of the Bowcls. as well as all the
large class of ills peculiar to women—that they
simply take him at his word and are cured ac-
cording to promise ? -In fact the Doctor himself
does not hesitate to admit that part of his success
insurgery is due to the use of the Favorite Rem-
edy in the alter treatment of the patient, which
prevented the return of the abnormal formations
removed by the knife by givmg tone and strength
to the system of his patients Awhlch had become
debilitated andweakcned by disease.
In conclusion we hope that no one who may be
suffering from any of the diseases for which the
Favorite Remedy is recommended will hesitate a
moment to secure a. bottle and test the truth of
what we heroin allege. We are willing to pledge
our veracity for it that none will be (lisapporntcd
or deceived.
. FDr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is now for
fillptby all our druggists at one dollar a bottle.—
i 01'.
Permanent Relief is a great boon to any
one who has been ahlicted \vtih a backing cough.
You can get it sure by using Dr. A. J. Flagg’s
Cough and Lung Syrup. ,

He wakes us up in the morning when we ,.
want to go somewhere, gets in the butter 2
