Mrs. Frank Raymond, who officiatcs gra-
tuitously as organist of the Methodist church
and for the last year or two, has aided in
maintaining s. good standard of music in that
church, was honored with a visit from some
fifty members of the, church, a few nights
ago. It was a “surprise? so intended, and
during the evening the lady was presented
with a set of handsome chins—68 pieces,—
snd a gossamer cloak. Mr. Albin made the
presentation speech. The social and musical
entertainment which followed showed that
Mrs. Rsymonds efforts in the church are ap.
preeisted. .

Estheticism has its votaries here. A chap
in the eastern portion of the town who parts
his hair in the middle, draws down his under
lip and looks wise, feels honored when some
admirer calls him Oscar.

Professor Gould‘s advent here as a dancing
master forms a pleasant crain social matters,
and young people are fascinated with his
method and style. His class meets Mondays
at Sturgcs’ Hall.

Mr. Rufus Wakeman raised the frame for

The funeral of the late Zalmon Sanford,
took place Wednesday, from his late resi-
dence. It was largely attended, Rev. John
R. Williams ofiiclated, and the remains were
buried in Christ Church Cemetery. Twenty-
five years ago, Mr. Sanford was an active
business ,man here in company with his

, father, the late Z. Sanford. Being a fine
writer be displayed tact asa bookkeeper, and
there was a method in his style of keeping
accounts. His warm nature won for him
hosts of friends, and he enjoyed the distinc-
tion of being the most popular man in town.
At one time-he was treasurer of the town,
and as such was more or less influenced by
politicians who had ends to gain, but could
not accomplish what they sought unaided
by some one in authority. If Mr. Sanford
hsd listened to their whisperings, and after
awhile irregularities crept into town accounts
facts have since come to light which show
they were chargeable more to the tricky
natures of those associates than to any incli-
nation on his part to step aside from the path
of right. Mr. Sanford’s virtues were gener-
osity and afisbilityp He was not given to
reproach others for'injuries inflicted. and
he maintained silence, and silence is golden,
when others loudly clamored. For these
things he will be held in remembrance.

The mildness of Thursday and Friday,
coming as it did on the heels of a colder
‘snsp, for a short one, than most of us ever
experienced. though grateful to the feelings,
was a surprise to such as had made up their
minds winter was here to stay. Saturday’s
snow did not mend the matter much.

It is 83 years since Mr. Edward H.
Nash did away with the wooden wheel as a
means of grinding apples to make cider and
introduced the. revolving cylinder grate r.
During all that time he has kept cider ac.
counts in one book only. . A review'of the
pages of the book shows what changes death
has made among the farmers once prominent
and whose name and faces were familiar.
The cider mill owned by him was originally
built about the year of 1818, At that'utlme it
was an all day job to make one barrel of,
cider, now a hundred barrels can be made in
the same time and with One quarter of the
labor. .

Thetown authorities know lamps should
be placed :at the ‘,corner of Wright and
Chur ch streets intersecting with King street,
but they do nothing for the reason, as is be-
lieved, that they think citizens will put the
lamps up and supply oil at their own expeilsc
Weill it would be a saving to the town, and
it begins to look as though the town intended
to make the saving. PAUL.

, ,- ' Jennie Cranier’s Death.

 

'quT asl‘ounrrss, THE FISHERMAN, says IIE
saw on Tncusnav EVENING, AUGUST 4TH.

 

New Haves, Court, Jan. 28.-——Asa Cur-
tiss, the fisherufi, who took the body of
Jennlc’ Oramer‘from the water at the West
Haven shore, and who is an important wit-
ness in the crfiing trial of the Malley boys,
.said to-night that in his opinion the witnesses
who testified at the preliminary trial 'to see-
ing'Jcnnle in the Savm Rock grove and else-
where on Friday, August 5, 1881, were mis:
taken. “It was Thursday, August 4, that
she was there,” said Curtiss; “no one saw
Jennie alive Friday. All that d she was
concealed. in the Malley bath house and Fri-
day night some time the dead body was
placed on the upper bar, and from there it
floated in shore with the southeast wind to
where I first saw it. Thursday evening at» 8
o’clock I was in front of the Beach heuse and
_, aw Dr. Barry place a young lady on the
ground under a tree. The young girl.was
Jennie, and with her were Blanch Douglass
and another young woman, tall and slim,
whomsl, should know if I should ever see
her again. James Malley stood off at one
side. Two German girls, who were stopping
at the Beach house, came out and gave Jen-
nie water. ‘ After she was lifted into a beach_
whgon; I heard one of the German girls say:
“Jennie,,do you want any more water f"
James was on the front seat and drove. The
three young women were together on-tbe
backseat; Jennie lu_the middle supported by
the others. They drove toward file Sea iew’
house «and went up Grove street. Wh e in
that street- Jennie gave a shriek. There are
those who heard her. From there they might
have driveninto the.city without returning
by the hotels. .I don’t say, but I think they
took. her to the Foote building, on Chapel
street.- Some time during the night tney
must have brought her deadbody back to the.
shore and hid her in the bath house. The
body lay: there all day. Walter's drive Fri-
day night with Blanche to Branford Was a
blind; they registered at the anford Point
hotel for effect; they never registered any-
where else. They had Ed. Malley's fast horse
and might have driven back in an hour. They
left the hotel at 9 o’clock precisely, and Wal-
ter had plenty of time to get down to the'
shore and help James place the body in‘the
water and yet be homeat 2 o’clock in the
merning. The only thing Jennie ate before
her death after the Thursday morning. break-
fast was a piece of huckleberry pie that was
got at a place on Chapel street. If James had
sent for a doctor Thursday night instead of
trying to cover up his tracks, it would not
have been nearly as bad for him as it now is,
even if the girl was dead and had been se-
duced. As it is Blanche Douglass will go
scot free after this trial. Walter may have
to stay in jail a while, but James will be fixed
for u long time.” ‘ '

Mr. Curtlss was a member of the jury of

City News.

“Didn’t we told you so” was the exclama-
tion uttered by one enthusiastic Democrat,
on Thursday evening last, on hearing that
announcement. that the contract for lighting
the City for one year, from February 1 had
been given out by Councilman Powell for
$999 99, that being $200 less than cx-Coun-
cilman Dibble, and some $350 less than-
Grand Juror G. W, Day bid It was gene-
erally supposed that there would be reduc-
tions of expenditures this year of from 5 to
7 thousand dollars, and at this rate of rapid
saving, it will be done. We hope, however,
the city may not be lighted, with darkness,
or the contract fourfil to be illegal.

Manufacturing is improving, especially in
batting. For old established firms to have
early orders, is not remarkable, but the new
firm of Duty & Barnum and others are re-
ceiving the like favors, and are shipping
goods freely. ,

The want of apropcr and district alarm
Bell. in case of fire, was never more apparent
than at fire in the Norwalk Lock Shop, on
Thursday evening. It. being within five
minutes of the time of closing, the firemen
took little heed of the ringing of the Lock
Shop hell, or the whistle or gongof the Iron
Works Company, and until the ringing of
the Congregational :Chursh bell, very few
outside of the factory were aware of a fire.
In- the meantime, as Assistant Foreman
Knapp was passing through Marshall street,
he was overtaken by William Selleck, a
workman from the Lock shOp, who gave the-
alarm, and while passing called to C. H.
Harvey. They- procceded to Putnam Hose
For-
tunately a coal cart of John H. Ferris was
passing, and taking is bitch, the host: was
soon quickly laid and a stream was soon on
the fire. Th. hose of the Iron Works and,
Lock Shop had already been playing upon it
for some minutes. The delay of the firemen
was simply owing to the want of a proper
alarm. The fire originated in the J span room
where benzine is used.

We are to have abundance of entertain-
ments of various kinds this week. That of
the Burnside Guard on Wednesday evening.
and the Helen Pottef Pleiades on Saturday

not announced in the public journals.

Edward Beard, Esql, Secretary of the
Lock Company, highly appreciated the work
done by the Fire Department at the Lock
Shop fire,'and has shown it by sending a
check for $50 to them. This is very unlike
the actibn we recall of the owner of a private
house, when a fire occurred.

A snow storm came up last Wednesday
afternoon turning to light rain in the even-
ing, making it unpleasant .for the Congrega-
tional supper. The attendance, however was
good, the Hall being well filled with people.
The interest seemed to be divided between
the catables so lavishly provided, and the
pretty waiter girls who served the same.
The costumes of the latter were greatly ad-
mired, most of them being made of colored
tissue paper. The effect was very fine, and
much like an elegant fencey dress party.
Several tableaux were given on the stage by
the young ladies. Altogether the entertain-
ment passed off very pleasantly, and the re-
ceipts must have been satisfactory.

Obituary.
DEATH or Two VETERAN SOLDIERS.

Mr. George W. Smith died at his home on
Chestnut street, last Friday. Mr. Smith was
a veteran soldier, having been a member of
Co. A. 17th Regiment. His funeralwas at-
tended yesterday, Buckingham Post, of
which he was a member, attending in sbody.
He was a wool sorter by trade, an intelligent
gentleman of quiet, kindly disposition, re-
spected by all who knew him.

 

On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Chauncey C.
Platt, who was a member of the same com-
pany, died very suddenly at his home. He
had been complaining inthe morning of not
feeling well, ‘but the, spell passed off. After
eating dinner he said he. thought he would
not attend the young people’s meeting, but
would go to the evening service. He went
into another room, and his son, hearing a
noise, went in and found his father lying
dead. The cause of death was disease of
the heart. Mr; Plait was a shoemaker who

and had the reputation of being one of the
best workmen, on fine customer work,in this
vicinity. He was an active member of the
Second M. E. Church, and also an ear-
nest worker in the temperance cause. A
strange circumstance connected with falls
death, is the fact that he expected to act as
one of the pail bearers at the funeral of his
comrade, Geo; W. Smith, on Monday. Mr.
Platt was a man of very earnest nature, well
known throughout the the community, and
respected as an industrious, honest and up-
right citizen. The death of these two old
soldiers will be deeply felt by the survivors
of Co. A. .An officer of the company
assures us that both of them were thoroughly
good soldiers, never shirking their duty, and
by their good conduct under all circumstnm
ces gained the respect and esteem. of their
oflicers and comrades. All boner to their
memories! ‘

On Friday last, Mrs. Hattie Ferris, widow
of the late John H. Brady, died at her home
on Beatty street. She was a lady much es:
teemed for her many good qualities. She
leaves three little children to mourn the loss
of a mother’s love.

 

MORE SAD NEWS FROM TURKEY.

Yesterday we received another letter from
the Rev. Henry S. Barnum, of Van, Asiatic
Turkey, announcing the death of his only'
remaining daughter, Hattie Starr, of the
same dreadful scourge that carried off the
two others as reported in the GAZETTE of
Jan. 17th. Mr. Barnum, in his letter, says:

“Thus, in a little over a fortnight, all our
three girls have been taken from us. Hattie
was getting better when rhedfnatism, one of
the dread sequelae of the disease, set in, and
struck to the brain. All we, and the Greek
army physician we called in, could do, failed
to furnish relief, and after three days of de-
llrium and suffering our dear girl fell asleep
on the 14th day of the disease.

Our boy, Harry, aldne is left us, and he is
not out of danger. To-day closes the third
Week since he was taken, and it is about time
for dropslcal symptoms to appear, if he is to
suffer from that complication.

In this caty whose Armenian population is
about 20,000,500 to 600 children. at least,
have died. In some of the near villages also
the fever is said to be proving very fatal.
I have heard of one family of 7 children, all
of whom died, and from many houses three
little bodies have been carried forth.”

Correspondence.
WATERBUR’Y.

Masses. EDITORS :— .
This town, although outside the limits of
good old Fairlield county, is not so far away
but that thc GAZETTE promptly reaches it
every Tuesday morning. And a very wcl-
come visitor it is. It brings the news from
“the old folks at home,” so to speak. It
affords us a glimpse of matters political, re-
llglous,and domestic, as they occur amid
scenes in which our interest can never wane.
We always feel, on taking it from the ofllcc,
like thrusting it into our upper -left-hand
overcoat pocket,~just over the placo where
the center of emotion was formerly supposed
to 110. But we are actually getting senti-
mental. ' '

Waterbury, as many of your readers are
aware, is one of the busiest, most prosper-
ous, and most rapidly growing towns of the
State. Built in the broad valley where the
Naugatuck and the Mad rivers approach and
unite, and rapidly extending itself up the
hills that rise on every side, its situation is
picturesque and beautiful. The wealth of
the place is shown by the multitude of vast
manufacturing establishments that border
the streams, and by the great number of ele-
gant residences, of_ every variety of archi-
tecture, that are scattered through the valley
and are being rapidly erected along the
heights. adjacent. Those quarters of the
city that are occupied by the so-callcd work-
ing people, the operatives in the factories,
die, present a better appearance than similar
districts inmost of our New England cities.
The reason is said to be, that labor here hasr
been more fully employed and better paid
than in many other localities. The .“ hard
times" that brought so much suffering to
many communities, were scarcely noticed
here. A gentleman who has been, familiar
with the hl‘storyof the city, states that-there
has beenno general want experienced in it
since 1857. 'At the present time the business
activity of the place is very marked. Fami-
lies in great numbers are removing hither.
At least one hundred and fifty households
are said to have pitched their tents here dur-
ing the past eight or nine months. And
still they come. ‘

With all the intense devotion to business
that is here manifest, there is a good degree
of interest in those educational and literary
and religious matters that are of crowning
importance. Waterbury is happyin the pos-
session of a free library which is already
large and well-selected,'and can boast of a
library fund of nearly two hundred and
thirty thousand dollars. This is of priceless
worth to the growing city. The means of
acquiring information and culture are thus
in the hands of every class. And into count-
less homes go light and healthful influence
from the great storehouse of literature.
What a blessing it would be to N orwalk and
to Bridgeport, if some» enterprising, far-
sighted citizen in each of those towns would
richly endow a public library. He would
reach and mould the hidden life, and largely
the outward policy of those growing com-
munities, until the end of time. This is
what Silas Bronson is doing and will con-
tinue to do for Waterbury.

Among the most popular and influential of
our clergymen, is the Rev. Joseph Anderson,
D. D., formerly pastor of the First Congre-
gationalchurch in Norwalk. The edifice in'
which he preaches is a model of beauty and
convenience. Now for nearly seventeen
years he has pointed his people to heaven,
and led the way, and still is buta pastor-
elect, not having been “installed.” Evident-
ly,the man sometimes makes the longest stay
w.) is not a “ settled ” minister.

But enough for the present.

As misapprehension is manifested by some
of our friends, a natural disposition t8 mis-
represent us leads the brewers’ and distillers’
newspaper organs to declare that our Society
has been “captured by women suffragists,”
the following statements are made in the in-
terest of justice :

1. The auxiliaries our National Women’s
Christian" Temperance Union are found in
every State and Territory of the Republic.
These are formed of Christian women, rep-

3. In 1875, at our Cincinnati Convention,a
Resolutionwas offered by Mrs. Governor
Wallace, of Indiana, and adopted by a large
majority, expressing the belief that woman's
influence, formulated through the ballot, was
essential“ to the triumph of the temperance
reform. In various ways, this idea has been
reiterated since then. In Boston (1880), it

' was expressed by Resolution; and in Wash-

ington, at our last Convention in 'October,
where 233 delegates represented 33 States,
it was st‘ed in the following modified form :

“ Believing that it is the part of wisdom
to place Temperance legislation upon the
firm foundation of Constiutional Law, both
State and National, that shall prohibit the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating bever-
ages; and recognizing the fact that the vary-
ing conditions of communities must, in large
measure, determine ourline of action, wis-
dom dictates the (lo-everything policy, viz:
Constitutional Amendment Where the wayis
open for it; Home Protection, where Home
Protection is tic; strongest rallying cry;

- Equal Franchise, where the vote of women

joined to that of man can alone give stability
to Temperance legislation" '

A “ Committee on Franchise” was also a1:-
poluted to “furnish advice, instruction and
assistance to States that so desire."

The animus of the Washington Convention

’ was to recognize the individuality .of the

States, in working altfig this line, so as to
harmonize with the fact that while New
England and the West have emphasized this
branch of work; the Middle and Southern
States have generally stood aloof from it.

. The presence of Miss Susan B. Anthony as
a. locker-on at Washington, and introduction
to the Convention on motion of a western
delegate, in view of the fact Miss Anthony,
thirty years ago, called the first Temperance
Convention of women, has elicited wide
commentary and doubtless led to the errone-
ous statement that “ a new departure " was
taken on that occasion.

“The sum total of “ advance action,” has
been herein stated; and it will be seen that
the National W. C. T. U., lS,‘dS it has always
been, true to its sacred name and its divine
origin as the organized and systematic out-
growth of the great crusade of 1874.

5. We appeal to all intelligent well-wislicrs
of Christianity who would sec the homes of
this country protected, and its dram shops
overthrown, to send us financial help. This
will not be used to pay salaries, but ’ciiiefiy
to extend our organization and to circulate
temperance literature.

The‘ Results of Necessity.

What the ancients suffered forethe want of
knowledge in medical science, can only be
appreciated by contrasting the .vast amount
of suffering cured and and pain alleviated in
modern times, by thousc of Swaync’s Oint-
ment for skin diseases. Itsintroduction was
characterized by the necessary withdraw-
al of a score or more of illusive, quack nos-
trums, whose cvll effects have left living
monuments to denounce them. Tiius is ex-
emplified the proverb, “Necessity is the
mother of Invention. 413

filiartlbrd’s Bad Luck.

Last Monday night was a bad night for

freight house of tlic steamboat company in-
volving a loss of some $25,000. While the
firemen were battling wilh this fire another
alarm was sounded, which proved to be the
city’s splendid high school building, which
was destroyed. _ The building, furnitllre, fix-
tures, &c., cost the city about $190,000. The
cause of the fire is not known, but as it was
bitterly cold ucutllcr it probably originated
from an over heated furnace or some defect-
ive “'(il'lilliflilrlllp about the furnace or flucs.

Steven’s Institute, Hoboken, says it is a

“Yes, sir, it takes an old stage driver to

cause they are used to it partly and partly
because they know better than to try to keep
warm on liquor. A good dish of oatmeal
porridge and plenty of coffee before getting
on thebox, and then plenty of good vicluals
during the day and the cold weather only
makes a man have better appetite, while a
horn don’t last till you get on the box again,
and then you are worse off than ever.”

to warm up his hands before poking them
into his gloves, “It’s only a green driver or
