‘ WILTON.
Surveynig operations in connection with
the Woman’s National Hospital were com-
menced Saturday. .
We understand that Mrs. Samuel Marvin
has another of inimitable concerts in course
of preparation.
Miss Mary Gilbert youngest daughter of Mr.
William Gilbert will be married to a gentle—

Two bicyclists going south passed through
town on Sunday.
' The sebctmen are making progress in re-
lation to the bridge near Castle Tonquin. and
now that the river is lowering we may soon
see efiects of a course of preparation.
There is an eccentric sort of a genius who
wanders about the country, and who occasmn-
ally passes through Wilton. This individual
goes by the name of the “old leather man”
on account of his apparel from his hat dowu
being made of leather—apparently from old
cast-away boot tops. Where he corflas from
and whither he goes no one seems to know.
At one time he had a sort of cave at Huckle-
berry Hills, but this was flooded -by .the
South Norwal eservoir. He never has been
known to beg nor speak so far as the writer
knows. Although called “old” he is appar-
ently about forty and not so very ugly look-
ing. His case is more interesting from the
mystery which surrounds it, and his strong
aversion to any advances towards forming an
acquaintance.
BEDDING.
The boy who lives with Mr. Albert Gor-
ham,whilc carrying an ax on the 2lst insr.,
slipped and fell, and the ax cut a deep longs
gash in his left arm, in the midst of the
tendons near the wrist.
0n Umpawaug Hill some improvements
are in progress. Mr. Gershom Hill has
erected a new barn, and Mrs. Cortis',Merchant
has put up a new picket fence in front of
her house;
Last Tuesday evening was a very favora-
ble one for the “Organ Concert" at the M.
E. Church. The concert had been antici-
pated by many with much interest. It was
quite an event in this staid community.
The performers were mostly from Danbury,
ladies and gentlemen of mark in the musical
world. They came down with a four horse
team, and returned after partaking of a sup-
per at Mr. Albert Gorham’s after the close
of the concert. Only one piece was sung.
by the whole choir; the remaining ones
were performed by the visitors. A large
. audience assembled to listen to the melody.
Mr. Green {presided at the organ and ex-
hibited its capabilities. In tone and power
it seems well adapted to its purpose. The
singing was of a high character.
One Sunday. May 23d, the Congregational
Sunday School was reorganized for the
coming year, and the old ofilcers were re-
appointed as follows: Mr. Arthur B. Hill,
Superintendent; Mr. Henry S. Osborne,
Asst. Superintendent; Deacon, J. H. Lee,
Librarian; Messrs. Eben and N. B. Hill,
Asst. Librarians.

The Autocrat of Germany.
. [Pall Mall GazetteJ
Count Eulenberg, it seems, is going the way
of7all Prussian ministers, the way on which
Delbruck and Folk, Camphauscn and Ho-
brccht, Fridcnthsl and. Lucius, with many
men of smaller note, have within the last few
years gone before him. As Prince Bismarck
grows older he grows more incalculable and
autocratic. Not content with “brooking no
brother near his throne,” he cannot, it seems,
. brook any one except a lackey. It is not only
men of intellectual eminence whom he finds
incompatible with his system of government;
even commonplace people of fair administra~
tivc capacity are obliged to go as soon as
they show the independence, not, indeed, of
a minister-that would be,unhcard of—but of
a resposible ofiicial. The old bureaucracy of
Prussia, which within certain limits fostered
a spirit of independence and self—respect
among its members, commands admiration
by the side of the present system of slave
driving. Does Prince Bismarck never think
of the future, of what will happen after his
death, if he has driven every man of character
out of the public service and destroyed the
self-reliance of a whole nation by teaching
them to look perpetually for direction from
above ?

who had watched movements in the quarter
closely, and the gratification of themselves,
they placed manufactured goods on the
market, and since that time have been so
crowded with orders as to be unable to fill
all of them. Their machinery, from the
ponderous."Lapper,” so called, into which
the raw cotton is sent on its way to become
twine, warp, or candle wick, to the compres-
sor, which fits the completed goods suitable
for bales, is all new and approved. The
power to keep it in motion comes from a 48
inch Lefigll Turbine wheel, the water supply
for which rarely if ever fails. In view of
the contingency of a drouth, the company
are ;now erecting .a 30 horse power steam
engine, which will enable them to run 300
days every year. Two gangs of hands, one
by day and the other by night, are employed
the result of their weekly product at this
time being about 7,000 pounds of manufac-
factured goods, and this will be increased
when additional machines, already ordered,
are erected. The visitor to the mill observes
the utmost regularity and system in all the
operations, and can see the advantage gained
thereby. The ingenuity of the hhman brain
seems to have been taxed to the utmost in
putting together the contrvances which, op-
erated by a few wheels, cogs, and belts, are
great labor savers, while at the same time
the largest, as well as the smallest strands
are twisted and reeled off. As the writer
turned to leave the mill after a hasty glance
through it, his eye rested on bales bearing
the name of H.,B. Clafiin & Co., and other
great firms of the Metropolis, showing that
the goods as well as the makers are associated
with first-class companies. _ The mill is fire
proof to this extent,—-there is no lath and
plaster into which fire can hide. The floors
are of three inch planks, the, walls of stone
and brick, and water is soon to be introduc-
ed. Close by the mill has been built an
elegant ofiice fitted with all modern improve:
ments—in great contrast with the situation
asremembered in the old mill. The whole
establishment inclosed with a picket fence,
is picturesque and presents from every point
a business like aspect. PAUL-

THE GOVERNMENT CHEMIST’S RE-
PORT ON BAKING POWDERS.
To THE EDITOR or THE GAZETTE:
The recent publication of the report, giv-
ing the comparative merits of various Baking
Powders, according to tests made by the
Government Chemists, has induced some of
the manufacturers of brands, whose inferi-
ority was thus brought to light, to resort to
various means and publications, in order to
rid themselves of the results of that unfavor-
able exposition of their inferiority.
That the public may fully understand the
matter, and to avoid any misconception aris-
ing out of statements of our competitors.
seeking to break the force of the report, I
herewith subjoin the main part of the report,
in which the comparative values are correct-
ly given. __
Dr. Love’s tests were made to determine
what brands are the most economical to use.
And as their capacity lies in their leavening
power, tests were directed solely to ascertain
the available gas of each powder.

“Hecker’s Perfect" 92.6 36 cts
"Bulk Powder.” 805 30 cts
“The Government Chemist also adds: “I re-
gard all alum powders as very unwholesome.
Phosphate and tartaric acid powders liberate
their gas too frcel in process of baking. or under
varying climatic c anges suffer deterioration."
It is proper to state that all the powders
examined were from the open market, and
that the original labels were in every case
broken by Dr. Love himself. He also in.
forms me that he, himself, purchased the can
of Royal Baking Powdegat the store of Park
85 Tilford.
I have only to add, that for 20 years the
Royal Baking Powder has been before the
public, and it is to day the standard for
Entity and excellence throughout the world.
ecause of its intrinsic merit, and by Virtue
of honorable enterprise, the Royal Baking
Powder has taken this rank, and I am there-
fore not surprised to find adventurers in the
business anxious to assume their preparations
to be its equal. J. C. HOAGLAND,
President Royal Baking Powder Company.

why you should go to Colton’s Dental Associ-
ation, in the Cooper Institute, New York, to
get teeth extracted: 1st. Because Dr. Colton
originated the anzasthetic use of the gas, and
thoroughly understands the application. 2d.
Because he has given it during the past
sixteen years, to one hundred and twenty
thousand four hundred and two (120,402)
patients» without accident or serious ill ef-
fects. 3d. Because they use 300 gallons of
gas a day, and consequently, have it always
pure and fresh. 4th. Because you are sure to
avoid pain, and so leave the office as well as
you enter it. 5th. Because the Association
is indorsed and patronized by every promi-
nent physician in the city. 6th. Because we
supply no other dentists with our gas.

note from a Worker in this field is suggestive:
“The Sunday school here has a superintend—
ent who never attended a Sunday school
conve n, and a bible class teacher who
believes that the earth is flat; but out of a
backwoods settlement containing somewhat
over ahundred souls,they have gathered sixty
into a Sunday school. They understand the

,_ William Thompson Bacon. _.
granddaughter of our former townsman,
' Jonathan Knight, M. D.. and daughter of
the distinguished Yale professor who added
such honor to that name, and that he was
former pastor of a church in this county,
(Trumbull),—as also his relation to the press
of Connecticut, and his high literary as well
as moral character, seem to demand a further
obituary memorial than the brief announce-
ment of his death, which appeared in last
week’s Gamma
He was born in Woodbury, Aug. 24, 1812.
educated, in part, at the Episcopal Academy
in Cheshire, and after an interval of business
life was graduated at Yale College with the
honor of class poet in the famous class of
1837 in which were Chief Justice Waite,
Wm. M. Evarts, (whose room-mate he was
for a season), Edwards Pierrepont, Samuel
J. Tilden, and others of note. He studied
theology at New Haven. His settlement at
Trumbull was not long, because of his ill
health. He then devoted himself to literary
work for which be early manifested an ap-
~ titudc—was the founder and one of the
editors and proprietors of the New Haven
Morning Journal and Courier, and at one
time editor of the New Englander, (quart-
erly), and author of a volume of poems
which reached athird edition, and of an-
other, published within the past year for
private circulation only.
At the time of his death, May 18th, and
for thirteen years, he was editor and pro-
prietor of the Derby Transcript which on the
20th, was issued in deepest mourning, and
contained fitting tributes to his memory.
The editorial is:
“To us of the Transcript who are left, it
has seemed best that such mention as may
be made of the deceased in these columns,
should come from some person outside of
this office, and so we gave place to the kind
sketch found7elsewhcre. To us the personal
loss sustained is such that we' are not fitted
to write of it. The kind heart beats no
more; the tender, sheltering, never-failing,
patient love,.with which the faithful husband
and father brooded all his household, shields
and defends it no more, and the and hearts
left to mourn for him who will know them
no more here forever. Others may write;
we cannot. -
The conclusion of the “sketch,” of a col-
umn and a half, from which this is mostly
made by one who was his groom'sman,
born and married in the same year with him
is, “His writings are characterized by a
strong sense of justice and right, and all
gave earnest voice to the real goodness that
dwelt within the heart of the man. Mr.
Bacon belonged to and was an honored mem-
ber of the old editorial school of thirty years
ago, which was brightened by such names
as Minott A. Osborn, Thomas G. Woodford,
John B. Carrington of New Haven, and the
venerable E. B. Cooke of Waterbury, with all
of whom he was on the most intimate terms
of friendship. In his politics and to his
religion he was broad, conservative and
charitable, holding to the religion of human-
ity as the natural outcome of the religion of
Jesus.

An Investment Security in Gold
Production.
The Unon Investment and
Promoting 00.,
155 and 157 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. ‘-
OFFERS for sale to investors the preferred stock
ofthe Gold GrnVel Hydraulic,Uo., of Plumas
and Sierra Counties, California. This property
which has been a. largely paying one for the last
eleven years, is a consolidation of placer claims
which have already produced nearly twelve mil-
lions in gold—and which are extensive and rich
enough to produce one hundred millions more.
The present facilities for gold washing on the
property will suffice for an annual net production
of at least 8300 000,whichproduction it is proposed
to largely increase by the construction of new
water work ands the use of additional apparatus
for extracting the gold. The Union Investment
and Promoting Company, which itself owns the
Common Stock of‘ the Gold Gravel Company,
whichis not for sale, guarantees that the pre-
ferred stock which it ofi‘crs to the public at par,
shall receive 12 per cent. annually before any di-
vidend shall be paid on the common stock-at the
present rate of production, however, the divi-
dends on ,the total capital stack of one million,
should not beless than twenty-five per cent. The
Union'Investment and Promoting Co., is a Con-
necticut Corporation with its chief office in New
York City. Its President is A. F. Wilmarth, the
and among its Director are J. S. Stout, of Stout
Sr. 00. , Bankers, New York, Henry E. Russell. of
the Russel and Erwin Mfg. Co., New York, Geo.
1’. Bissell,of Hartford, and James Boltcr, Presi.
dent of the Hartford Bank, with others of the
highest repute and financial standing.
It is admitted b all who have any acquaint -
ancc With the sub act that the placer gold gravel
beds of California, afi‘ord an entirely safe and con-
servative field for investment if sufficient water
f‘orh draulic operations is available l’rof‘. Win.
1’. B aka. of New Haven and other experts ofthe
highest character have reported mostgfavorably
upon this property. In answer to the question
likely to be first asked by the cautious New Eng-
land investor: "Why, if this is_ so good a thing
does this wealthy company \Vlfilb to sell any of
the stock"—-it may be said that through the com-
panies’ agents and experts in California, it has
,opportunities to use capital in similar invest-
merits which will pay the company fifty per cent.
which is an;ordin_ary rate of minors interest. It
pro uses to continue so long as possible this
pro table use of mono while giving the public
the advantage of pure losing a twenty-fivcper
cent. dividend paying stock at par.
