l Norwalk Gazette. ?uesday. September 2nd 1879.’ ,— _ The Bucholz Case. . The GAzn'r'rn's last week article has been very widely copied andquite clearly strength. cued the theory of the murder having been committed ’by'more than one. Last week, an old, dried'up and almost un‘rctmguizable out- side cover to a large breast pocket book was discovered sticking into the stone wall, near the place of Schultc'g murder. It is not posi- tively known yet that it was the property of the murdered man, but it is quite certain that it has been placed in the wall since the mur— der. The trial of Bucholz is set down for next week Tuesday. Hatting is, weare glad to learn very brisk just now; all our shops are running full time. One of them received an order on Saturday for 8) doz. The Shoe business also seems to be re- markably lively. Across the Continent. Hon. Schuyler Colfax will deliver his popular lecture, named above, on the last Wednesday (29th) of October next, at Lock- wood's Hall, under the auspices of Concord Division, Sons of Temperance. ____—-—- The Stamford Advocate this week celebrates its semi—centennial by appearing in a some— what enlarged form and in an entirely new dress. It is printed on a Hoe country cylin- der press, and presents a handsome appear— ance. An cxisteree of half a century through all manner of trials proves the worth‘ of the paper in the put, and the present improve— ments show what a hold upon the community the paper has gained and how much it is appreciated. With patent outsides springing up in every hamlet it is good to see that the people still cling to a paper, which has age and reputation. The Advocate is one of our oldest contemporaries, and as such we are glad to see it prosper. We congratulate you upon your success, Mr. Gillespie. _____._——— On Wednesday night, 20th inst,, thieves broke into the carriage house of Mr. Joseph Cox, on Roton Hill, and stole therefrom a brand new harness, an . old harness, lap robes, a new alpaeca coat, &e., valued at $75. They had to break the lock of the outer door, and also Of the harness room. Harness stealing is growing into quite a busi- ness, and owners mustlook sharp to the safe- ty of their property. —————_._————-_ The Reason of it; At a trial Of a .liquor case last week at W instcd, the irate dealer broke out in court and thus addressed the court :--“Judge, there's no use of your trying to stop liquor selling. Just as long as there is eight cents profit ona ten cent drink, rum will be sold and no one can stop it." That rum-seller has hit the truc'reason, we guess. ‘ Weston and Rowell, the pedestrians, both arrived in New York last week. It took two ships to bring them over. Rowell says that he is going to take the belt back with him. He probably expects to make another big pile of money, but he will find the fever running out and will hardly go back richer than he came. _____.——— Caution. It will be seen by an advertisement in an- other column, that the Board of Directors of the Norwalk Cemetery Association are determined to put a stop to the daily cross— ing, and re-crossing of their grounds, by persons passing to. and from the bridge, either for business or otherwise. If the practice is continued the parties will, we understand, be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. .__.._—— flow it Works. One of the enterprising and energetic busi- ness men of our neighboring village, New Canaan, related to us a few days ago a little incident showing how the traveling public takes the refusal of the New York & New » Haven R. R. Co, to receive the Trade Dol— lar so generally in circulation among the peo- ple, and notwithstanding that by thus refus- ing to receive it they daily and constantly put their. patrons to great inconvenience. This gentleman had been a commuter for years over the road, but recently being off on a vacation his ticket ran out, and return- ing about the middle of the month he thought he would wait until the 1st of the next month before be renewed it, and to so arrange his business as to be obliged to go downpnly two or three times a week un— til he got a renewal. Arriving at the station late one day, but a few moments before train time,he found that he had nothing about him in the shape of money but Trade Dollars and on tendering a couple of them for an ex- cursion ticket, they were refused by the agent. Our friend informed him that was all the money he had, but it was of no use the rules of the company would not allow of its reception, therefore this long-time patron had to hunt up some one who would exchange money with him; he was fortu- nate enough to find one in time so that he did not miss his train, but it anger- ed him so that he declared that he would not ride'ovcr their road when he could go by other routes. He has since ,then gone down‘ some two, three or ‘four timesa week, on either the Stamford or N or- walk boat, and, says he, in speaking of it“ I havemet a number of old commuters on these boats, who I find had about the same experience and feel as I do on the subject; furthermore, 1 yesterday run over my ac— cdunts to see how I stood by it, and found that the New York 85 New Haven R. R. Co. had lost $30 fares from me, while my ex— penses by boats had been only $4.50, leav— _ ing me a net gain of $25.50 with which ex— perience I am quite well satisfied, as besides the money saved, the trips by boat, although taking a little longer time, have been much pleasanter than the ride in the hot, dusty trains." # Bethel is investing heavily in lottery tick- eta—News.

While the granaries of American farmers are nearly bursting with the largest crop ever harvested in America, the long contin- ued bad weather in England and on the con- tinent has caused terrible loss to crops and is preparing a market which will ensure remunerative prices. In England alone the loss in the grain crops is estimated at some $125,000,000, in the potato crop at $75,000,- 000, and in beans, peas and rye some $15,- a means of practically settling the vexed“ 000,000, the bulk of which must naturally be supplied from this country. The sad part of it is that the fortune which will cheer the lart of the American farmer will cause a vast amount of suffering and misery' among our brethren across the water. -—-——-——+—<Or+——“ The Old Fifth.

The subject of this notice died on the even- ing of Thursday, Aug.,2ist, last, at his su— burban residence near Troy, N. Y. He was born about the beginning of the present cen— tury, in the stately and comfortable old man— sion still standing on the green, and now occupied by Geo. R. Cowles, Esq. Mr. Knox’s father, the late Hugh Knox, Esq., of Scotch ancestry, a graduate of Yale College, and a settler in Norwalk of the period somewhere around the year .1800, married Henrietta, oldest daughter of the well remem- bered Samuel Cannon, and 'sister to LeGrand Cannon, of Hudson River Steam Navigation famc. The young John LcGrand was born Nov. 15th, 1803. He spent his boyhood here, and entering upon his teens was sent to Troy to school. He went thence to New York city, filled a clerkship’s position, and returned in 1819 to Troy which became thereafter his permanent home. He was connected for many years with several of the chiefbusiness houses of that growing city, and intimately identified with its interests. He was a gentle- man of great natural kindlincss of disposition, and Of marked urbanity of manner, and in whose company one was entirely at case. He loved his native place, often in— quired concerning it. and delighted to visit it in the years that are gone; a feeling shared by others of his family, which with its con- nections is one of the largest and most. infin- ential families in Northern New York. The last moment reached him in a good age, and he passed away blest by the minis- leaving a very fragran.memory behind him. There remains of his immediate family his wife, the accomplished daughter of our Com- monwealth’s distinguished poetess, the late Mrs. Lydia Huntley Sigourney, Of Hartford, three sons, and two grandchildren, who sur— vive one of the sweetest and most lovable of young mothers. His funeral was attended a week ago last Sunday from Old St. Paul’s, Troy, that spiritual home of so many of Norwalk blood who went from this place some seventy'fivc years ago, and the enterprise and sterling in- tegrity of whom have contributed very mate- rially to the present coveted name and pros— perity of that favored and flourishing city. Mrs. Henry T. Morgan, met with quite a serious fall from the steps of Rev. S. B. S. Bissell’s residence last week, fracturing the cap of her shoulder. She is rapidly recover- ing under Dr. Lockwood’s care, although still suffering from the painful contusion. _____— At a meeting Of the members of the 28th C. V. at the Connecticut Hotel, Monday, Sept. 1st, Major W. B. Wescombe was ap-t pointed chairman, Lieutenant J. C. Taylor Secretary. It was resolved that we, the sur. viving members of the 28th desiring once more to see our old flag and join hands with our comrades in arms,will meet at Hartford September 17th, 1879. And as tents and all accommodations necessary are provided without expense to the soldiers, all who can are urgently requested to meet at the camp ground by five o'clock the sixteenth inst, at which time we propose to reorganize and make arrangements for annual reunions here- after. Our commanding ofilcer will make provision for the return home of all mem- bers of the regiment free of charge. This is our first reunion, come one come all. The meeting [was adjourned to Sept. 16th, at 6 o'clock p. m., at Camp, at Hartford. County papers please copy. 0 Dog Days. A good dog story, with just a shade of sadness, isthus narrated. “Mat. Bird, 2d," is a thoroughbred blue—sky-terrier. He is one of the family of Dr. Coolidge, now our popular Main Street grocer. And if there is anything about the whole house the Doc— tor dotes on, it is this dorg ! In fact “Mat” is a considerable “member of the family." Last week,Mat very mysteriously disappear- ed. A search was made in every direction. .The Doctor vowed lie'd rather lose awhole car load of potatoes or a cargo of melons, than to part with that little doggy. Finally Ed. Lynch came upon the scene and here comes the sad shading to the story. Ed. it is related, narrated with much detail, the kidnapping of the dog by an evil emissary living way up near the end of the Nauga- tuek Railroad. The Doctor slipped a“tcn spot” into the clean and itching palms of Lynch and bid him fly on the wings of the steam engine and not return till the purp should be recovered. Next day Ed. return— ed as hc says, from Winsted, leading the lost dog by the same string, that it is relat— ed, the dog was seen at one end of, and a man, (not larger than Lynch) at the other, going around to the back yard of our friend Lynch, aforesaid. There is but one im- probability about this last part of the story and that is a radical one, Ed. Lynch isn’t no each man. .0—‘———-—-—— Our Private Schools will soon commence their Fall terms.

For several subsequent nights however, the same “thick darkness” prevail- ed, whercat our clioleric Esculapius was tempted to “swear some terrible oath”—but he didn’t. It is due to his Christian profes- sions to state that he acted more piously and wisely. He fumbled about his pockets for a few matches, he had slyly packed away, to escape the Argus eyes of his wife, to whom he was under pledge, not to smoke again till next Christmas. He found his resources for a sudden ignition of the gas were all right. on with the agility of a practical Kangaroo h leaped far up the shaft and seized tight hold of the gas post. But alas,— "The best laid schemes 0’ mice and men gang alt agley, And leave us naught but uricl'and pain l‘orprom- r iscd joy.” For not only did “tenebrious gloom ob~ secure the darksomc night,”—-as good old president Dwight once dismally- wrote—but the night was rainy as well, and the lamp post was wet and as slippery as an “Old Well" eel. . Down slid the spent and blown and an- gry doctor with twice the velocity that he jumped up. The doctor vows to this day that all the shooting stars that so disastrously missed fire on the 14th of September, were shooting through his vision at the moment he struck the broadest part of his anatomy on the all too sloppy “free soil.” This of course swell- ed the tcmpcst of his previous rage into a. perfect fury—which the moisture of the sur— rounding earth, now filtering rapidly through all his nether garments, utterly failed to 0001‘. Rising with great effort from his bed of clay he gropcd about to find a stone or two, to wall about the base of that slippery shaft, so as to aid in giving him a little more elevation for the next jump. Then for another leap 1 His second spring was worthy of a practiced acrobat! His finger tips, actually touched the cross-bar at the apex of the shaft ! He clenched the iron post with ferocious strength, but despite his frantic ef— forts to twine his legs and arms about the miserable shaft and maintain his hold, down he slid, like a boy from a greas— ed pole. When he recovered from his sec- ond painful thud in the mud, in his disgust . and surprise, he struck a match, when 10, what did he behold 1 The lamp post had been painted a sort of milk and water, yellow- white, which the rain had softened and in grasping it so vehemently, he had saturated his Sunday coat-sleeves, with Zebra stripes, ruined his vest, and finished the destruétion of his best pants. By this time the doctor began to get mad clear through and declared he’d get to the top of that post and light that street lamp, if he perished in the undertaking and his body should be left a prey to the struggles of two competing South Norwalk Coroner’s Juries. He had a bright, reassur— ing thought in his dire extremity! He shuf- fled down beside Mulling Bros'. Carriage Shop and stumbled upon a three foot piece of ash plank! This at once be appropriated and braced againstthc slippery post! Then for the final spring! Shades Of Hercules! The poor doctor this time, nearly dashed out his brains and did utterly demolish his best spring beaver by jumping too high and strik— ing the lamp’s top-work. But he stuck this time; and held on with bated breath, till he could open the lamp door, snap the'match and light off the gas! . This was really the most desperate struggle of all. He hit his lips‘till they were blue, and held on like old mortality to one of his defunct victims. He was not to be foiled in this last, death strug— gle. Holding on by one dreadfully over- strained hand and arm, then he deftly drew out and struck the match, forgetting that his perched pOSition and the gleam from the feeble match-flame would recall and give force to the poet’s beautiful lines— “The higher up a monkey climbs, the more it shows it’s tail.”. But what dark and heartrending disap- pointmcnt was to come next? too plainly that he was either beside himself or had made a most unaccountable blunder! It wasn’t the lamp at all, but the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad's danger signal 2208;! Down the crestfallcn doctor slid again, 01— most mentally hoping ,his brains might be dashed out by the concussion. And it is due to the truth to say, that had our doctor's brains been located where some doctor‘s brains seem to be,- they doubtless would have been dashed out by the fall. ‘ There he sat again flat in the mud, now battered to a thin watery paste. an object of despair and pity. Anouhe would prod his broad, “dome of thought,” as if trying to re— call any recent cases of indulgence thatcould possibly have touched his brain with mam‘a in pots. Then loud enough to be heard by a passer by on the other side of the street, he would repeat with blood-curdling pathos— "I am not mad, I am not lllilti, int soon shall be,—” A sadder, a wiser and a wetter man, he finally arose and wended his way down to- wards Burr Knapp’s Steam Planing Mill, to see his waiting patient. He gave the door bell such a nervous, spiteful jerk, that the good house-wife ran to open the door to so impatient a caller. The Doctor greeted her with one of his blandcst of—“GOOd Evening Mrs. —.” But he said no more. llis silk hat mashed down over his head and cars like a Congre'ssmau's, his garments bcsmcarcd with paint and mud, gave him the appearance of some desperate tramp in the eyes of the good woman, and she slammed the door in his face, bolted it and fled to the kitchen, in a terrible fright. Here was a new and un— thought of difficulty. Surely, thought the doctor, disasters and miseries never do come singly. But seldom do they afhict one in such unheard of numbers, mentally moraliz- cd he. Then he tried to quote, Longfellow’s Hiawatha’s famine iambics, but all to no pur- pose. The prcssing question was, how he should get in, see his patient and dry his clothes. Great intellects think quickly in times of great emergency. Quick as thought the Doctor kitcd around to the back door,re- solved to first announce himself and then gain entrance there. But quietly sitflng on the rear door-steps, was the house-maid, with her beau closely nestled beside her, and both deeply absorbed in the wrongs “Pcrfidious Albion” had heaped upon Erin, or some" other entertaining subject, when the apparition of the piebald Doctor came rushing up in their front! Onc screach of agony, from Bridget, as she shot through the cur-rant bushes and a howl of despair from Patrick as be scaled and cleared the fence at a single bound brought the whole family to the door, to discover the cause of the unearthly tumult! Now was the Doctor’s chance. Before lib could be observed, he yelpcd out as if in the throes of a colic—“It’s only me. Doctor ~—. Don’t be alarmed. There's nothing the matter, I assure you, upon honor, there’s nothing the matter.” He was bid to mount the stoop and walk in. As he passed the alarmed and now thoroughly aroused threshold, the good lady observed his wet, muddy and varigcated wardrobe. (His hat he, with discriminating judgment, had crushed under his arm.) With uplifted hands she implored him to tell what. had happened 'r’ Now here was illustrated one of the most beautiful and toudhing traits in the poor Doctor’s character. He proved himself greater even than Washington. He could tell a lie, but under all these most try— ingcircumstances he would not. The very nearest he came to yielding at all to the temptation that sacrificed the lives of Ananias and sapphire, was when the old lady said:— “Why, Doctor, you’ve tumbled into some— body’s white mortar bed, haven’t yen,” he replied, looking down to cover his confusion, “Wellit does look so, don’t it t ” ' , Next, the scrubbing-brush and house-cloth the lamp post and touch off the gas, it he . The feeble light of his match showed'all‘ were brought and no racer ever had a more thorough rubbing down than our good, but unfortunate Doctor. The best. part ' of the story, like the best wine, remains for the last. The unusual uproar and commotion all about the house, had seemingly aroused the lethar— gic energies of his sick patient. In .fact his good wife vowed to the Doctor, it was the first thing he had noticed or taken any. inter— est in since he was sick, and the awakening had absolutely so aroused his flagging POW" era that his eye was brighter and ‘his whole system better, when the Doctor came to his bedside. This is a bright and happy fact to I‘CCOI'd in this long chapter of blundcring mis- haps. With lighter heart and footsteps and Doctor stepped out into the street again, where “Dark darkness (lurked the darksomc dark,” A curdling chill went shivering through his bones and marrow as he dashed off in rapid pace for his home, inwardly resolving, that -if he lived to attend the next annual meeting of the “regular” County Medical Society, he would see to it, that a rule was adopted doubling the “regulation” price of “night visits.” In a few, brief moments, he reach- his home "All heated, panting, hissing hot." But our duty and utter detestation of “per— sonal journalism,” bid us draw a veil over the domestic scene and reception. What his bewildered wife asked and insisted “ she would know,” and what he answered, are all sacred privacies between man and wife and we shall attempt no importinent 'scrunity. There is but one more shadow to the already too cloudy picture. The miserable wretch who overheard the Doctor’s audible mutter— ings while rolling Outhmud-pic crust by sit— ting down in it, went around to the stores and all the chief loafiug places of the spunky little city and “gave away” the Doctor. And here we have to record the first act of the Doctor’s not strictly on the square and right angle of “Hiram Abiff.” The Doctor as we have stated, could, but would not tell a lie. So when he found himself the butt of such ridicule, he yielded to “a great tdmptation,” so far as to call up his poor driver, “J ohu” and offered John a dollar (which he greedily took) if he would go all about and tell every- body, it was not the Doctor at all, but he, John, who had confounded the two posts and spoiled his clothes with paint and mud, etc. And thus we see, what a grand moral spec— tacle it is, for a man not to tell a lie but rath- er, rcsolutely surrender even a hard earned dollar, and let any one else do it, who has a gift that way. For, “Oh! what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.” Encampment Notes. Licut. Ad. Betts was officer of the Guard the first day at Niantic.

Instead of writing up the Second and writing down the Fourth, as heretofore, the New Haven correspondents seem to be in- clined to do both Regiments justice.

It rained so hard that he was afraid of spoiling his new six dollar shoes on guard, so he mau- agcd to borrow an old pair belonging toll commissioned officer of the-Second Regiment. They were not exactly gun boats but they answered very well to paddle around in on the first day out. Perhaps the liveliest, jollicst time among the troops was on Friday evening, when all hands seemed determined to have a regular frolic. The bands played their liveliest airs and glee club after glee club made music in the air. The Fourth and Second regiments displayed the utmost good fecling.toward, one another, joining in their songs and cheers in the hearticst manner. w Wednesday is the day of the grand pa— rade in Westport. If the day proves clear the procession will be the largest and best ever seen in the streets of Westport.

Our Westport friends are making bountiful preparations for feeding their guests, and adorning their own pretty village. We hope for good weather and a ’day of rare pleasure.

As Mr. Hyatt ap- peared at the door he was greeted witha flow of eloquence from Capt. Meeker, and at once surrendered with discretion, and before the members had fairly taken in the situation they were seated in the ex-Warden’s parlor. A visit to the dining room followed, where Mr. Hyatt and wife' were found to be masters of the situation. As the force includes good singers there was no lack of music. With cheers for their host and hostess the company finally departed, and on the way home were drilled in movements likely co be put in prac- tice at Westport. *0 Gen.

Em'l‘ons:— ' ,- If your recent suggestion of the forma- tion of a “Board of Trade" should grow into healthy fruit, one of the first matters which would press heavily upon the careful atten- tion of such a body would be the proper sewerage of this town. The matter would properly lie first within the purview Of the local Medical Society, if that estimable body shall have time or inclination hereafter for anything further than “harrowing up the feelings” of Mr. Dr. and Mrs. Dr. Pardee. They ought long ago to-liavc investigated, through a committee, and reported exhaus- tively upon the defects of. and possible rem- edies for our miserable sewerage and drain- age system, or rather utter lack of all sys tem. But, if they must continue to neglect this and other urgent public interests, and spend their valuable time in bounding along the war path in pursuit of Pardciau scalps, it will devolve upon our proposed “Board of Trade” to consider a subject which presses hard upon their dearest in— terests, those of their houses, their wives and their children, “their uncles and their- aunts,” ctc._ Possibly our physicians do not deem it for their interests to move in the matter. We laugh at the savage who considers himself perfectly well dressed in a stove— pipe hat, and nothing else; and yet our town is equipped in very much the same fashion. We pride‘ ourselves on the posacs— sion of a reservoir and connecting pipes, which will afford all our people an abund- ance of excellent water for drinking, for ‘clcanlincss of person, and for cleanliness of households. But here comes the awkward question, what becomes of the dirty water? And we can only answer that it goes where it listetlr, carrying with it its brood of foul odors, disease, and death. All the winter long, in overflowing ccss~pools and other receptables, this stock of unseen filth accum- ulates, until a summer’s sun brings its evil powers fully into play, and people innocent- dred troubles are so prevalent. Pastors and friends will talk wisely ‘to afflicted parents about “mysterious dispensations of Providence,” when in point of fact there is nothing mysterious about them. If people will break God's laws of cleanliness, they must accept the penalty. Forty per cent. of the little children who die untimely deaths in Norwalk, are just as surely smitten down by this town's criminal neglect in the mat- ter of sewerage as Herod’s victims were by his more open order. ' Forty per cent. of the 'doctors’ :bills annually paid by older people for so-callcd ‘ ‘malaria” would sup- port a thorough system of sewerage, and put astop to this “mysterious” disease. Until some such system is adopted we need ex— pect no great immigration into the town, for sensible people will not move into an uudraincd town. Thus every interest which can attract the attention of an enterprising business man, home intercsts,lmoney inter- est in the present, and hOpcs for the future, all center upon this pressing question of sewerage. Without efiicicnt sewerage all the improv— ed and luxurious methods of plumbing with which dwelling houses in the town are so abundantly supplied are simply traps to catch and hold mephitic gases until an Op- portunity comes to throw them' back into the lungs and systems of house holders and their families. That patent stoves and en- gines should be made to cousumcotheir own gas is proper enough; but when it comes to compelling the people of a whole town to do the same unpleasant office it is a differ— ent matter. It remains to be seen whether N orwalk will allow the selfish unwillingness to make a prompt and present expenditure of money to overbalancc :the great and com— mon interests which we have suggested. boring towns are in the same or a worse plight; that even sewerage does not do away with sewer gas; and that, as one instance, the sewer system of Brooklyn has not saved that city from foul air, which has poisoned even the Office of the Board of Health itself, It is our business to profit by the mistakes of other towns, to form a sewerage system under the supervision of competent engi— neers, and to allow no plumbing except un— der the same supervision. The beautiful situation of Norwalk, its convenient location for business men, whether doing business in New York or in our own town, its union of all the advantages of town and country, its numberlcss sites for manufactorics, all com~ blue to give it wonderful possibilities for the future if its business men can be induced to come to the front and assume the responsi— bilities which 'their position and needs have forced upon them. It is gratifying to note the purpose Of the GAZETTE, in these arti— cles, to endeavor by constaptly recurring to somewhat unpleasant subjects to, rouse them to a sense of those responsibilities, and then leave the ISSLlC with them. If they see fit to shirk their duties and sit down supinely while other towns around us are straining every nerve in the race, it is of course their own business, for no one is so interested in the premises as they are. At any rate let them consider whether a town which boasts only one sewer, which will only allow that sewer to be used for the drainage of surface water, and which depends upon transient thunder-storms and permanent cess-pools for any further cleansing, is a town which is likely to attract outsiders and thus increase Norwalk’s business and wealth. PUBLIC SPIRIT. We copy the following from the Bridge-- port Farmer. Rev. Mr. Johnson is well and favorably known in Nowalk as an able preacher. Last year we mentioned that Rev. Ed win Johnson, formerly pastor Of the South church in this city, had purchased a school in Mor- risania, which we felt sure would prove an excellent one under his scholarlymanage— ment. Theresult has fully verified our pre- diction, as it has already achieved a first class reputation among our best educational resorts. It is known as “The Suburban Seminary,” and both young ladies and chil— dren are received as pupils. It is located in Morrisania, or more properly speaking at the corner of 167th street and Boston avenue, .New York City, and has an attractive and delightful situation. Although it is near the heart of the great metropolis and the excep— tional advantages in many ways to be there enjoyed, it is far enough away to be secluded, and has within its enclosure seven acres, finely shaded and ornamented—a park in itself. The freedom and cheerfuluess of a good home are combined with the order and system necessary for a good school in Mr. Johnson's family, while the instruction by him and his assistants is thorough and just what parents would desire for their children. Theterms for both day and boarding pupils are moderate, and we can, entirely unsolici— ted and without Mr. Johnson's knowledge, cheerfully and fully recommend this school to any Of our readers who may be looking for instruction for their daughters or wards. The principal‘s address is Rev. Edwin J Ohn- son, Morrisania Station, New York City. __.__.—_.——— Members of Concord Division propose at- tcndingthe grand Sons of Temperance. pic- nic at High Rock Grovc, on the Naugatuck Railroad, this week.
