Tun Mora? Housm—There has been. con-
siderable speculation as to the age of the Mott
'IIous'e, and it "hue" been generally supposed
thatithe reanpart just torn down was nearly
4 if not*’quité*200}years=old.‘ Since it has been
‘1'.
.10? 4,gowuaplate has been found over the 4
bdrm
ne'y plumes the date 1712. The bal—
‘anhgg. of the inscription, probably the builders
name, cannot be deeiphcrcd. There was a
cellar under one pertion of the structure but
not extendinghnder all. The workmen en—
gaged in tearing down the building found an
old sun dial about the size and shape of an
ordinary watch, which was still in good con-
dition. A couple of old letters were also
found, one dated Danbury, May 15, 1740 and
the other, Norwalk, Dec. 3,‘ 1775, and both
addressed to Captain Johnson who seems to
have been Master of a packet. The first
ment‘onrd is signed Comfort Starr, and he
asks the Captain to bring him “one hh of
Rhum, New E igland,” also alot of "Sickcls”
and “Seytbs.” The other is signed John
Cannon, and relates to the hiring of “2 Lads
that \Vill Ship Cheap” and who “Did Belong
to the Man of Warat York.” The letters couj
eludes with the feliciring lines:~—‘ ‘P. S. I_
have Sent the money By the Bearer my No.4
groe which is 1.5.10.8 Old Tenor.” In the
part of tlie'building now standing aplatc has
been found inscribed “G. Seymour-1829.
An old resident says that he was at the “rais-
ing” fifty years ago, on the 4th of J uly. The
building is in much better condition inside
than out, and ll‘t‘ rooms are large, well light-
ed, and with ccimgs higher than the average
of the present ‘ay. The entire first floor is
taken up wit cc rooms and a hall way.
Vice-President Wheeler will not return to
Washington this summer. lie is ill, suffer—
ing from cxtrrmc nervousness. 4We hope
that some kind fate might so far bless the
country as to advance Mr. Wheeler from
his present flying and exacting duties and
transfer him to the White House, as the Na—
tion’s Chief. For lofty and unsullicd charac—
ter, and for practical wisdom and unselfish
patriotism he stands out with conspicuous
grandeur over any name we have yet seen
brought forward, for the next Presidential
candidate, and it is no dispargement of the
exalted talents and characters of other candi—
dates to say this much for Vice President
Wheeler, either.
The Flower Mission.
Persons desiring to send flowers or fruit to
the New York mission can 'do so the same as
last year. Monday and'Thursdays are the
days of distribution in the city. ‘ Flowers left
at the Adams Express Ofiice early on Mon-
day mornings will be forwarded free. Flowers
left at the Gazette Ofiice W’edncsday after-
noons or early on Thursday mornings will be
arranged by Mrs. W. A. Kellog and prompt-
l y forwarded. A handful of cut flowers will
be thankfully received from any one.
Improvement.
A very great and very gratifying improve—.
ment has been made by Cashier Street, who
has recently’ graded down the high ground
or gravel knoll in rear of his residence on
Main street-and filling the hollow fronting
on that street. Aneat new barn and gravcled
drive-way out have also been constructed,
and our popular manipulator of Uncle Sam’s
greenbacks has now a very charming and
very greatly improved residence. May the
same line of march be taken up and adopted
by others, and “improvement” be our only
summer’s epidemic.
Norwalk Liquor Cases.
The witnesses in the liquor cases which
' were appealed, have been summoned to be in
attendance this week in the Superior Court
nowholding its term in Bridgeport. Before
Justice L. W. Stuart, the witnesses, Deputy
Sheriffs Cotter and Moore, swore that they
were invited to Norwark by tax payers and
friends of temperance without any promise
of pecuniary reward; that they found the
dealers selling openly; called for, obtained
and paid for intoxicating liquors at a majori.
ty of saloons in town; that they found men
drinking openly; that while some were sit-
ting at tables drinking their lager, others lay
in a state of drunkenness upon lounges;
that the beer sold as Schenck beer in some‘
- cases was simply fresh lager beer and con—
tained about twelve per ccnt.alcohol and was
intoxicating. _
The witnesses possessed a good degree of
intelligence and said that they had for many
years been engaged in the sale of liquors and
their tests, so that their evidence was that of
experts, as well of their quality as the fact
of their illegal sale.
Two of the applcaled east-s were nolled at
the former. term, when Messrs Cottcr‘ and
Moore sworn in the justice court that they
bought old ale. Either because of the influ-
ence of friends or because the keeper of the
saloon swore that these men did not go into
their place on the occasion charged in the
complaint, but as two prominent citizens saw
them go into the place, and as they described
the keeper and the arrangements of, the sa-
loon exactly in accordance with the facts, it
is not to be wondered at that the action of
the States Attorney should be a matter of
severe criticism. .
Whatever may be the rcsalt of the cases
before the Superior Court, no one who heard
the evidence at the Town Hall before Justice
Stuart could have candidly entertained the
least doubt of the guilt of the accused sa—
loon keepers.

Knowing that certain ruin to hisparty
would follow such an enactment Mr. Fer-
nando Wood has steadily refused to report
an income-tax bill from the committee of
ways and means which, has made him very
unpopular with some of his democratic col-
leagues, many of whom are in favor of taking
extreme measures to compel the bringing
forward of such chill, and the more modcr~
ate members of the party had found it diffi—
cult to prevent this. . ‘

We must have that horse railway double
track. Saturday the same old necessity
compelled the horse car to leave nearly a
dozen passengers in full sight, to growl and
grumble, because they did not understand
the necessity which forced the car toleavc so
as to give the down car waiting on the
switch a chance to reach an arriving train.
With the present turnouts all runinto one
long switch this vexation could be effectually
cured.

Hon. CHARLES Dnnnrrsconnr Mxrnnws.
Mr. Charles D. Mathews, the late owner
of Elmcnworth, whose sudden death has
been such a shock to his friends, was born in
1820 in New York city, where he was prom-
iucnt in business circles until his withdrawal
from active mercantile life fifteen years ago,
since which time he has been much in
Europe with his family, traveling and super-
intending the education of his daughters. Mr.
Mathews amassed a large fortune while still
a young man, and his commercial career was
one-of uninterrupted success. He basinevcr
met with a reverse (if-fany kind. His charity,
although liberally dispensed, has been of the
most unostcntatious kind, and was known
only to those interested.
The symptoms in his case were not consid-
ered sufficiently grave to cause anxiety until
Thursday, when his attending physicians,
Drs. Peters of New York,.and Gregory of
Norwalk,"saw reason to fear apoplexy, and
Mrs. Mathews and her daughter who were
in Paris with Mrs. Mathews’ father, were
telegraphed for. A few hours later Mr. M.
became unconscious and remained so until
five o’clock Friday morning, when he passed
quietly away. . -_
We copy the following further reference to
Mr. Mathews from the New York Herald of
Saturday:
Mr. Charles 'D. Mathews died suddenly
yesterday morning of apoplexy, at his resi—
dence, Norwalk, Connecticut. He was born
at the time .of his death. When quite ayoung
man he started in the provision business on
his own account, and was uniformly success-
ful, amassing a large fortune. He was a
member of the old Corn Exchange, and a
very large stockholder of the New York
Commercial Association which erected the
New York Produce Exchange Building. Mr.
Mathews retired from business about twelve
years ago. In 1-859 be secured the charter
for the United States Warehouse Company,
and held the position of president of that
company for several terms. He had been
president the last time from 1866 up to his
death. He was also a director in the Park
National Bank and in the Fireman’s Insur-
ance Company. Up to three years ago he
resided in this city, but in 1876 he purchased
the magnificent residence of the late Mr. Le
Grand Lockwood, at N orwalk, where he'had
since resided. He leaves a widow and four
children in affluent circumstances.
Fennmn ,A. Momsou.
Little Freddie wasborn in Norwalk Sep—
tember 3d, 1870 and died of urcnic convul-
sions. He was taken with scarlet fever Fri—
day, April 11th and seemed in a fair of
recovery until last Thursday night when he
was attacked with convulsions and lingered titl
Saturday morning, ,when at a quarter before
six, he-expired. 'IIe was attended by Drs.
Lockwood, Barbour and Gregory, and every-
thing that human skill and the devotion of
parents could devise, was done for the little
sufferer, but without avail. His funeral was
attended Monday at3 p. m. from the resi—
dence of Mr. Morison. Rev. Mr. Taylor
conducted the exercises in a deeply impres.
sive manner.
It seemed fitting that the little sufferer
should thus depart, just as the song birds he
loved so well, were piping their first matin
lays andMay’s elfulgent blooms made earth
and air radicnt and redolent with their glories
of tint and perfume. Having known and
loved theUdcar boy—as did every one—and
our own heart heavy with the recollec-
tion of a similar sorrow, we tender the
stricken parents the poor tribute of our sym-
pathies and tears, and bid them look up to
the good Father from whence only can come
sustaining consolation in this terrible hour of
agonizing bereavement. -
Fraternal Visits. ‘
The Stratfield Encampment of Bridgeport
arrived on Thursday afternbon and were duly
received and escorted up-toyvn to Union Park
by members of Kabaosa Encampment of this
place. About the same hour Devotion En-
campment‘of Danbury arrived and were cs-
corted to the same place. A large delegation
from the Stamford Encampment also came-
over, but not in uniform. The two Encamp-
ment in uniform, headed by the Howe Band,
of Bridgeport, and escorted by members of
Kabaosa, marched through the Bridge, up
West Main, main and North avenue to High
street and thence to Lockwood’s Hall where
lunch was served. During the evening inter-
esting services were held in Odd Fellows’
Hall, after which the visiting brethren .were
escorted.to Lockwood‘s Holland served 'with
a bountiful supper. The Band played and
everybody seemed happy. The visitors re -
turned home the same night.
This is the first time uniformed Odd Fel-
lows have been seen on our streets, our own
Encampment never having obtained uni-
forms. The style is aftcr that of the Knights
Tcmplars, varying chiefly in color. The
uniform consists of a chapeau with long
purple feather, purple sash and belt, orna-
mental sword, &c. The Danbury Encamp— -
ment had their sashes fringed with gold.
The Democratic Situation.
Major Middlebrook, of Bridgeport, brings
from a recent College dinner a capital story
that most aptly illustrates the present attitude
of the democracy in Congress. Poor Pat, as
.usual, was trudging along a country highway
with nothing in the world to do but to mind
his own business, when he espicd a mascu-
line bovine quietly grazing in the adjacent
lot. “Halloo, there!” says Pat, “would yecs
like. a bit of a shindy this mornin’?” Suit-
ing the word to the deed he mounts the fence
and flaunts his red cotton baudanna at the
now irate, corniculate beast. Plunging for-
ward in front of Pat and pawing "the earth
our hero ejaculates, “And is it a bit of a
fight yecs want? \Vcll,1’m the b’y that’ll
accommodate yccs." So leaping from the
fence he seizes Mr. Ball by the horns. The
himself gathering himself together up out of .
the dirt in' the middle of the roadway, and
seeing the infuriated animal still menacing
him on the other side of the fence, Pat, with
proverbial candor. remarked, "Well, Mr.
Bull, I confess myself licked by yc, but
after all—I had me laugh first 1”

This briuch of the scheme "concerns itself
with the counting of the electoral vote. _ The
majority of the House Committees upon that
subject have agreed upon a bill which de-
clares that where there is a contest over the
electoral vote of a State, the decision of the
highest judicial authority of the State, if
given, shall be accepted as- final unless both
the decision. Where there is a contest, and
there is no such judicial decision, the elec-
toral vote of the State shall not be counted
unless both houses concur in ordering it to
,be counted. Every one who remembers
the sane attempts that were made to defeat
the electoral count in the House in 1877 by
trumped-up charge! of ineligibility against
electors of States which had cast overwhelm-
ing Republican majorities, can easily imagine
what we might expect in 1881 under such
a law from the present Congress. ' ‘he same
curious relationship of the great parties to
the question of genuine State Rights is
presented then. Senator Edmunds's bill
which was passed by the Senate in the last
Congress but defeated in the House, declared
that the decision of the highest judicial
authority of a State as to which is its true
electoral vote should be final. This right
of the State, and the State alone, to say
what its electoral vote shall be, was upheld
by the Republicans during the electoral con-
troversy, and would be held by them in
Cdngress to-day; while the Democrats, the
professed champions of State Rights, who
have just passed a bill to make the National
Governments subordinate to the State Gov-
ernments, have upheld the theory—and have
now embodied it iu'this bill—that the two
houses of Congress shall have the power to
say for whom the electoral vote of a State
shall be cast, even in opposition to the de—
cision ef its highest court.

Grand Master Thomas Sterling of Bridge-

fiouisbing condition of the order in the
state, said: “The‘reveuue of our subordi—
nates during the past'year is $4,679.31 larg-
er than the preceding year. The report
shows on mouse of $11,889.32 in the
amount of funds on hand. There has been
a gain in membership of 418. The re-in—
statement of members during the past year
exceeds that of the previous year by over
30 per cent. The reduced number of sun-
pensions may be regarded as a good indica-
thin that our‘ members .are recovering from
the prostration in business that has so long
afliicted our commonwealth, a prostration
whichhas been felt severely by very many
members of the order."

Memorial Day.
As heretofore stated the exercises on Me-
morial Day will be held under the auspices
of the G. A. R. Post of South Norwalk.
They have made'their own plans, which are,
however, so far as we have been able to find
out, substantially the same as in previous
years. The exercises take place in the after-
noon. Tbe G. A. R. members have invited
the veteran. soldiers to parade with them, and
the Burnside Guards have voted to take part.
We suppose it depends upon the amount
of money raised by general subscription
whether there will be music, carriages, &c.
We presume there will be addresses as usual,
but are not able to give details in full.
Congress.
The New York Herald thus remarks con-
cerning the present attitude of our democratic
Congress :—
“One result the struggle over the Warner
bill has had, it has committed 'the mass of
the republican party to an honest dollar and'
has led the mass of the democrats to blund-
eringly commit themselves to a ,fraudulent
dollar. Both parties claim tobe metalists,
but the republicans insisted shrewdly and
properly that a silver dollar ought to contain
a dollar’s worth of silver. The demccrats,
with, however, a number of shining excep-
tions, insisted that the silver dollar, the coin
peculiarly of the farmers, mechanics and
laborers, paid to them, if it is used at all and
paid out by them to the small dealers, shall
contain but eighty~five cents' worth of silver,
while the gold dollar, the dollar paid out in
large transactions, should contain 100 cents.
The republican: would be greedy if they
asked for a better issue, t an this to carry be-
fore the people. They wrll explain on every
stump in the country that the democrats are
attempting to. swindle the mass of the people
into a swiu‘dling eighty.five cent dollar, and
the democrats will find it impossible to get rid
of this damaging charge.

More Suits for Damages.
Mr. Blanchard, of Silver Mine, has finally
brought two suits against the “Warden, Bur-
gesses and Freemen" of the Borough of Nor—
walk for damages resulting from the con-
struction of the upper Reservoir. One suit
for $15,000 is brought for his wife as owner
of the mill at Silver Mine, and the other ' in
his own name for $18,000 for his life inter-
est in his wife’s property. He evidently
holds that mill site at a“ pretty high figure
and is prepared to‘fall at least one-half. The
suits come up on the first Tuesday in J nae.

favor as with one of her sublime creations.
Those who witnessed the performance of
“East Lynne" a' year ago at the Opera House,
will not willingly loose the opportunity of
seeing “Jane Eyre," in .which Miss Carroll
stands pro-eminent. The charming lady will
also give us a touch of comedy. in the charac-
ter of Louise Lovetrick, in which she will}
sing some popular ballads. The support will
be rendered by Ogden Stevens as Lord Roch-
ester, and his company in the caste, many
names of which are familiar in- Norwalk con-
spicuously, that of Miss Florence Vincent.
A handsome crayon likeness of Miss Carroll
has attracted considerable attention at Weed's

secure seats at mice as there is' no doubt there
will be a large attendance, probably the
largest that has been seen since she last
played here. _

Waramaug Lake.
The resident fishermen tell strange stories
of the deluge of the lake. It is strangely
turbulent; the waters “smells like an old
mackerel barre ," is of a dull reddish cast
and looks “queer," and roily, as if there had
been heavy rains, when in fact there had
been no ram of any account for two weeks.
Those who have lived on its shores for sev-
enteen years and the “oldest inhabitants"
say they never saw anything like it. Various
opinions, of course, exist concerning this pe-
culiarity. Some think there has been or is
going to be an earthquake. Some that an
enormous spring has “bursted” up in the bot-
tom, and is seething and boiling, and sending
its colored mineral waters rolling through
the lake. Others affirm that it is caused by
infatuated fishermen in their frantic endeavors
to catch the new species of suckers, which
have a white ring around their necks just
back of their gills. While others declare
that it is caused by fifteen pound salmon
trout'fiouudering around in its shoals and
shallows; and others still, with reason and
knowledge, say the sudden hot weather has
caused the lake to begin its annual June
“workings" earlier and livelier than usual.
Anyway, it is performing so as to cause con-
siderable comment.—Litchfield Enquirer.
No mystery about it at all. It's either the
regular spring fermentation or else"the other
fish digging under the mud to escape those
voracious black bass, so sedulously cultivated.
Black bass are a nice fish to propagate. They
first out up all the other fish and then fall to
devouring each other till the waters are oc—
cupied by the sole survivor of the fittest, and
he is very apt to get a bone in his throat and
die curly.

The migratory quail which were turned
loose by the Salisbury Game Club at Lake-
vrlle a year ago, have made their re-appear-
once this Spring. The Secretary of the club
asks the farmers and sportsmen of Litchfield
County_to keep watch for them and report,
so that It may e ascertained over how large
a regiou they spread. They are found gen-
erally 111 stubble fields and meadows; area
trifie_ smaller than the American quail, and
are lighter colored, being marked on the back
very much like .the meadow lark, but lacking
the dark spots on the breast which the native
quail have.
A covey of these birds are believed to bo
sporting about Spring Hill. We saw them a
few days since, and they fully answer the
