memorial Letter.
Wasnnm'ros, D. 0., Feb. 18, 1882.
Data Guerra :—
It was supposed that the tarifl question
would occupy the greaterpart of the Senate’s
time this week but nothing has been done on
the subject, Senator Edmunds having we
needed in bringing his Anti-Polygamy Bill to
the point. This is very voluminous and has
been discussed and voted upon, Section by
Section, finally passing Thursday. That
POlygam‘y, that foul smirch upon our coun-
try's escutcheon, is now to be blotted out, is
a signal for' thanksgiving on the part of
every true born American, and when this
curse has become a thing of the past,
sad not till then, America can lift her proud
head and brush from her check the blush of
shame she so long has borne on its account.
The bill, in brief, provides that any man who
marries more than one wife in any territory
of the United States is guilty of polygamy,
and shall be punished by a fine of not more
than $500 and by imprisonment of not fleas
than five years: that if any male person in
any territory hereafter cohabits with more
than one woman he shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and shall be punished by a
fine of not less than $300 or six months’
imprisonment, in the discretion of the court;
that in any prosecution for bigamy or polyg-
amy any one drawn or summoned as a jury-
man may be challenged for such practices
and rejected as incompetent jurors; author-
izes the President to grant amnesty to of-
fenders guilty of polygamy or bigamy on
such conditions as he shall think proper, but
no such amnesty shall have effect unless the
conditions of this act is complied with; is
gilimalizing any issue of Mormon mar-
riages which shall have been born before
January 1,1883 ; declaring that no polygamist
shall be entitled to vote at any election in
any territory of the United States, or be cli-
gible for election or appointment to any
place of public trust; declares all registra-
tion and election offices in Utahvacant, such
duties to be hereafter performed by proper
persons, who shall be appointed to execute
such offices by a board of five persons to be
appointed by the President of the United
States, not more than three of whom shall
be members of one political party. ~ The
members of the board are to receive a salary
of 93,000 per annum.
The House passed the Apportionment Bill
_ Thursday, which will apportion representa-
tion among the several states as follows:
Alabama 8, Arkansas 5, California 6, ColOra-
do 1, Connecticut 4, Delaware 1, Florida 2,
Georgia 10, Illinois 29, Indiana 13, Iowa 11,
~ Kansas 7, Kentucky 11, Louisiana 6,Maine
4, Maryland 6, Massachusetts 12, Michigan
11, Minnesota 5, Mississippi 7, Missouri 14,
Nebraska 3, New Hampshire 2, Nevada 1,
New Jersey 7, New York 84, North Carolina
9, Ohio 21, Oregon 1, Pennsylvania 28,Rhode
Island 2, South Carolina 7, Tennessee 10,
Texas 11, Vermont 2, Virginia 10, West Vir-
ginia 4, Wisconsin 9, making in all a total of
325 members. This number is an increase
of 32 over the present representation, of
which the Southern States gain 14, the New
England states lose 2, the Northern states
gain 4, the Western states, including Missou-
ri, gain 14, and California gains 2. Maryland
retains its present representation of 6; Vir-
ginia. West Virginia and North Carolina gain
'7 1 each, and Sopth Carolina gains 2. Dela-
»ware retains its single representative.
Representative Joyce, of Vermont, made
a strong but ineffectual protest against the
cuttiqg down of New England's representa-
tion, claiming that while, perhaps, the nu-
merical population might justify such reduc-
tion, the great business and manufacturing
interests required at least the present voice.
in Congress.
TRADE DOLLARS.
Representative Smith, of Illinois. has re-
ported to the House Committee on Banking
and Currency, a substitute for the two hills
which had been referred to that committee,
providing for the retirement of the trade
dollars. The substitute was adopted by the
committee, and Representative smith was
instructed to report the same to the House
with a favorable recOmmendation. The
substitute bill enacts that until the first day
of July, 1884, the Secretary of the Treasury
is instructed to receive at the several mints
the trade dollars, and to give in exchange
therefor, dollar for dollar, the silver dollar
coined by the authority of the act of Feb.
28, 1878. All provisions of law authorizing
‘the coinage and issuance of the trade dollar
are repealed. The report to accompany the
bill states that under the act authorizing the
coinage and issue of the trade dollar, there
were coined and issued at the several mints
up to May 3lst, 1878, 35,959,360 trade dol-
late, of which there were exported up to
October 31, 1879, 27,089,817, leaving nearly
9,000,000 in this country subject to exchange.
nanncruo THE onusus orrron.
A further reduction of the force in the
Census ofiice has been made this week. The
agricultural division was reduced from 45
clerks to 21 ; the division of schools,
churches,‘ete., was reduced from 25 to 14,
and other reductions are to follow. The
force originally numbered 675 and was then
reduced 1.0325. The reductions now in pro-
gross are expected to bring it down to about
150, at which figure it will remain for the
rest of the next. fiscal year. These reductions
will not prevent the completion of the work
within a reasonable time. It is thought that
8 year will be sufficient.
DEATH or con. MEACHAM.
Mr. A. B. Meacham died Friday evening
at Dr. F. A. Bland’s residence after a few
hours’ illness of appople'xy. Mr. Meacham
was born in Orange county. Indians, in 1826,
and moved with his family while a boy to
Iow‘. In 1855 re removed to Oregon, which
state he represented in the electoral college
in 1872. He was appointed a member of the
Rodeo commission by General Grant, and in
the massacre in which General Csnby lost his
life received seven bullets in his body.
After recovering from his wounds he devot-
ed his life to the cause of the Indian. His
last public service was on the lite commis-
sion, of which he was a member when be
(fed. He leaves a wife and son now in
Oregon. Mr. Mcacham will be remembered
by many of our Norwalk people who have
attended his lectures, and among whom he
has many friends.
rnosr waxmxos.
General Hazen. chief of the signal service,
has written a letter to Senator J ohnston.
recommending an appropriation to defray the
expense of establishing and maintaining a
system of “frost” warnings for the benefit of
farmers 9 The idea is that the signal bureau
shall publish indications of coming frosts,
and it is claimed that this would be especially
beneficial to tobacco farmers.
. Too UTTsn!
A thoughtful friend sends us the following
item cut from the Jacksonville, Florida
Union of Feb. 11th, and which possesses
some local interest to Norwalk readers:
“Last night Mr. W. H. Pillow shipped a
lot of very fine strawberries North. One
berry grown by Mr. F. L. Johnson, of Nor—

circumference.

A statement has been published that the
adjutant-general of the Army had rendered
a decision that all soldiers who enlisted be-
'tween June 22, 1861, and August 6, 1861,
were entitled to bounty, and as a consequence
the War Department has been flooded with
letters asking for information on the subject.
Adjutant-General Drum states that there is
not the least ground for the publication, as

As Ever,
m
Arrival of: 150 Tons of Tea.
Capt. Perkins, manager of White‘s Line,
was sitting in his oflice in New York, one
day last week, when a gentleman quietly
entered and 'giving the name ’of Hoyt,
stated that be bad just purchased 150 tons
of tea, and wanted to make arrangements
foa towing it to Norwalk. The Captain is a
shrewd man, and not easily surprised by
anything in this world, but. be was fairly
taken oil his base. Thinking the man ,had
mislak en the quantity, or he had misunder-
stood the article, he asked him to repeat.
Mr. Hoyt quietly repeated ”150 tons of tea.”
The Captain evidently thought he had got
hold of a “crank." and asked what under
the sun he was going to do with 150 tons of
tea in Norwalk. Mr. Hoyt replied :to the
effect that be had purchased that quantity,
and was going to take it to Norwalk as an
experiment. Capt. Perkins could not be
convinced until Mr. Hoyt explained that the
tea had been through a recent great fire, and
being found utterly unsalable as a beverage
he had bought it with the intention of taking
it to the New Canaan Nurseries and experi-
menting with it as a fertilizer. The tea was
towed in a canal boat to Norwalk, and stored
in the blue at Leonard’s coal yard. '
Inthisconnectiv we would add that that
round trip of the propeller was the best ever
made, taken altogether, and that the trips of
the propeller ‘during the winter have been

Mrs. Laura A. Craw, wife of Martin S.
Crew, Esq., died on Tuesday morning last,
of pneumonia. after a brief illness, in the
seventieth year of her age. Mrs. Craw was
a daughter of Benjamin Bishop deceased,
and was well-known to all of our old resi-
dents, having lived here all her life. She was
a consistent member of St. Paul’s church, an
excellent woman, respected and 'esteemed by
all who knew her. Her funeral was largely
attended by old friends and neighbors on
Friday afternoon last.

One of the finest gatherings of society
people held in town this season was at an
impromptu sociable given at Music Hall, last
Tuesday evening. It was a union affair,
comprising ladies and gentlemen from all
parts of the town. The costumes were ele-
gant, showing that Norwalk ladies have
“ something to wear” and can make them-
selves presentable even at a dress party at a
moment’s notice. Mine host Bartlett fur-
nished supper. The attendance was large,
and the entertainment is pronounced one of
the most delightful of the season.

The Last Day.
If Borough property holders want to be
properly assessed they should band in their 9‘“

The great missionary, Arch-Deacon Kirk-
by, will speak upon his life and work in

will preach in the church on Ash Wednesday

Blgelow Battalion Attention.
A special meeting of the Bigelow Battalion
is to be held on Thursday evening. A full

We learn that a number of Borough cross-
walks were lost in the mud this week—Itc-
publioan.
When crosswalks are laid in the' city, we
presume they will be silver-plated and gilt
edged, and so numerous that they will be
practically continuous. When that good
time comes the-Republican will be happy.
@—
“Corrcspondents” of the city papers have
been trying to make out for several weeks,
the new terminusof the Danbury & Norwalk
Railroad was to be in an "ice hole,” and that
the water was to shallow to admit of even
small vessels reaching the end of the propos-
ed new wharf, etc. It is refeshing to know
that pilot Merrill, who knows something
about Norwalk harbor, denies these allega-
tions, and that actual surveys show that
there is quite a genteel sufiiciency of water
etc. Evidently the men who are to put their
money ill the new enterprise are not doing so
with their eyes shut.
Comstock sis-others.
Messts. Comstcck Brothers, the enterpris-
ing clothing merchants, who always pride
themselves upon the good appearance of
their stores as well as the make and quality
of their goods, are completely renovating
their Borough store, and adding decorations.
We expect it will look fresh and nice when
finished. Next Saturday they will open their
large stock of fresh goods for the Spring
trade, made at their own shops. In style,
quality and price they fear no competition
in city or country. Read their advertisement
in to-day’s paper, and remember that while
they are large advertisers they have the rep-
tst goods, low‘prices End "square dealing.

A WONDERFUL STonv.—In another part of
our paper will be found the advertisement of
a wonderful story to be published in the
NEW Your; Wnnlrnr. It is entitled, “Mer-
ciless Ben. the Hair Lifter," and is from the
pen of the gifted and popular Ned Buntline.
The New York Weekly shows an enterprise
and energy truly wonderful, and its columns
teem with stories and sketches. "Merciless
Ben” is expected to add tens of thousands to
its already great circulation.
Handy Edition of'Hamlct.
We have received from The Useful
Knowledge Pubishing Company,162 William
street, New York, a charming little volume
containing “Hamlet, Prince of Danmark;"
148 pages, beautiful, leaded type, excellent
paper, and tasteful cloth binding, which they
sell for only 20 cents! They are issuing the
complete dramatic work in 10 handy “Elze—
vir" volumes, uniform with this, for the
amazingly low price of 25 cents per volume
and will also publish a “Red-Linc Elsevir”
edition, gilt edges, richly .ornamented in
black and gold. in ten volumes, all for $4.50.

The Town Meeting.
noon last in accordance with the call pub-
lished in the GAZETTE of last Tuesday, was
one 0s the largest held in some years. Up-
town people, who bad been charged with all
manner of crimes against the city and Five
Mile River sections, seemed to manifest but
little interest,and comparativly few attended.
South Norwalk and Five Mile River were
very largely represented, and leading men
from those sections took charge and run
the meeting to suit themselves.
Town Clerlr Perry called the meeting to
order, and Mr. S. E. Olmstead was chosen
chairman. A motion was made to rescind
the action of the former meeting in regard to
the Town Agent. A motion to indefinitely
postpone was lost by a large majority. A
motion to amend by substitutlng a resolu-
tion adopting the plan to go into effect next
October, shared the same fate, and those
advocating it were hissed and booted :lt,
although,as they claim,lcading men in the ma-
jority bad pledged themselves and their sec-
tionsto such a'ction. Just here the excitement
was intense. A leader of the majority, who
had, under the excitement of the occasion,
taken a seat ifi a chair in front of the chair-
man and was leading the applause and disap-
probation of his side, fairly lost his head and
moved to adjourn. He gave away once,
and then renewed the motion, which was
about being carried with a hurrah, when the
leader of the opposition—who had been
sharply snubbed throughout,—with unheard
of generosity, exhibited his fairness and de-
sire to do the right thing, by calling their
attention to the fact that they would thus
defeat their own ends, for thus far they had
only acted upon his motions and had not
voted upon the main question 'at all. This
was a poser, but the oversight was soon
remedied, and the vote passed, two to one.
While up town people were divided upon
the question at issue. they feel that the ma-
jority were unduly arrogant and insulting to
an entirely respectable minority. The ma-
jority was evidently large, and they should
have conducted the meeting in an orderly
and creditable manner, voting down the mi-
norty firmly,but giving no cause for dissatis-
faction. They held the powcr and could af-
ord to be fair and even generous
We presume this ends the m‘agter and places
things back where they were at first. Al-
though other meetings could bc called, we
hear of no one disposed to carry on the our
test. One thing is sure, the Town has‘ a
good‘ head of Selectmen and town _afisirs1
will not suffer in their hands.

Last Night of the Carnival.
As to marrow is Ash Wednesday,tbis even-
ing closes the “ social season,” which has
been rather more lively than usual. The
public entertainments announced for the

at Lockwood’s Hall.
Union Band Concertat the Opera House.
Bunnell’s Marvels at Music Hall.
G. A. R. Ball, at Military Hall.

brook’s Hall. .
Lady Washington Tea Party at Prof. John-
ston’s Latin School, in aid of the poor.
Supper and Tea Party for the benefit of

of musicians to be obtained.
m
. Entertainments.
The entertainment for the benefit d the
City Library Association, at Music Hall,
Friday evening, was well attended, and
passed off in a very satisfactory manner.
KatiePntnam appeared at the Opera House,
Friday and Saturday evenings. playing to
fairly good houses. She demonstrated the
9 ct that she has not in the least lost the art
'of pleasing. Her support was fair. -
So]. Smith Russell introduced the Edge
wood Folks, at Husic Hall, last evening.
This evening the Band Concert takes place
at the Opera House. Last year the annual
concert was very satisfactory, and as the
m'embers have long been practising for this
concert it is believed that it will be, at least,
equally so. Encourage home talent by your
attendance. ‘
This evening and ,Wednesday evening,
Bunnell’s Marvels occupy the stage of Music
Hall—the people are expected to crowd the
seats and “standing room" spaces. Read
the advertisement for particulars of the at-
tractions.

announce a “Lady Washingion Tea Party"
for this evening. Go and take supper there.
The Rev. C. R. Treat’s lecture on “ Pic-
turesque and Historic Belgium,”last Tuesday
evening, at Lockwood’s Hall, was very en-
tertaining. The stereopticon worked very
well and the pictures of the grand scenery
were greatly admired. Mr. Treat is an ex-
cellent talker, and with such illustrations and
pleasingsubjects his lectures cannot fail to be
deeply interesting as well as instructive. The
next'lecture will be on Tuesday evening Feb.
29th Subject, “Walks about Paris."
Manager Mitchell has booked for February
28th, Callendar's Colossal Georgia Minstrels.
This company has been reorganized. and‘in

llueating‘ the old southern plantation life.
The company will give a first-class perform-
ance in every way.
Next week will also appear at Opera House
the ” All at Sea” company, on a trip across
the Atlantic. The cast comprises many well
known stars that were formerly connected
with “ Fun on the Bristol.” This play was
written by George Jeesop, Esq., author of
Sam’l of Posen, and other successful plays.
Full particulars next week.
Letters from the People.
WILTON, Feb; 20, 1882.
To Tun Entronr. on Tim GAZETTE :—
vars :—-0u Thursday last the wife of
Thomas J. Durand received a telegram sta-
ting that her busband had been suffocated by
gas at the Occidental Hotel, corner of Broome
and Bowery, New York city. Upon such
information she secured the services of un-
dcrtaker J. H. Taylor to go after the corpse.
Upon arriving in the city he found that the
remains were at the mergue. Mr. Chase,
proprietor of, the Hotel; when he learned
that Mr. Taylor was after the remains, sent
word that he wished to see him so that he
might give the proper information to the
family at home concerning Mr. Durand’s
death. Mr. Chase says that Mr. Durand was
not intoxicated, as several papers have re-
ported; he says that Mr. Ddrand .called at
the hotel at noon, secured his room, lefthis
satchel and said he had-_ some business tov
attend to and would be back. When be re-
turned it was evening and-he was shown to
his room by the hall boy as other strangers
are. When morning canie there was no stir
within his room and the door was broken
open, when 10 and behold there lay his life-
less body. He had registered his name as
Thomas J. Durand, Norwalk, and it was
long before they could got word from South
Norwalk that he was from here. As no one
could give the operator an answer in regard
to him he finally sent wor‘d bank that there
was no such man here by that name. Then
he received another telegram from Mr. Chase
that the body had been‘ identified by one
Nelson Aldrich, who had. lived in Wilton
and was well acquainted with the deceased.
The cause of the remains being sent to the
morgue was the delay in the telegram reach-
ing the right party. ' “ *

Ministerial Anniversary.
The Rev. Joseph Anderson, D, D., whois
well known here as a former pastor of our
First Congregational church, has just cele-
brated the seventeenth anniversary of his
ministry in Waterbury. The closing para-
graph of his address was as follows: “This
period of seventeen years, my brethren,
measures one of the longest pastorates in the
State of Connecticut. In all our Congrega-
tional churébes today, there are only ten or
twelve that have, lasted 9 longer. I stand
amidst a congregation, the bulk of which has
grown up around me since I came. The
children, I suppose, look upon me as some-
what sged; but having begun, my ministry
as a boy, I am young yet, and am doubtless
a great deal yotingerin my feelings than they
imagine. Attention has been called, in the
public press, to a fact which to you is entire—
ly familiar, that our relation as pastor and
people is a purely voluntary one. For this
reason, the sense of stability in this relation
is all the stronger. In this respect it is
almost an ideal pastorate. No council has to
say yes or no; for I not “settled,” if at all,
is the primitive Congregational way, in the
esteem and affections of a living and loving
people. Standing on this basis, let us pursue
our work, until God bids us say farewell.
As I have shown you, I have many things to
be thankful for, and I am thankful not only
to God, but. to you, my faithful people. My
ideal for you ia—thc highest nobility and use-
fulness of which a church is capable of ; let
us seek it in united endeavor. And if
changes still comm-and sadness gathers abou
us, let us look up and beyond.” ‘

Williston Seminary.
The Williston Mills at East Hampton have
just been sold for $300,000 to Haley, Morse
& Co., of Boston, by the Financial Committee
of Williston Seminary, the Amherst College
Trustees and the executors of Samuel Willis-
ton’s will. By the sale, and through Mr.
Williston’s will, the Williston Seminary gets
$200,000 and Amherst College $100,000.
The students of Princeton, Cornell and
other Colleges having recently distinguished
themselves in the way of “ difficulties," the
scholars of the Senior class at Easthampton,
Mass, have tried their hands at managing
Principal Fairbanks and the Faculty. and
running the Seminary to suit themselves.
As a. matter of course they ingloriously failed
for the Principal is “not that kind Ofaman."
The trouble seems to be at an end, arid the
management of this excellent institution will
be better appreciated than ever.
The city of Havcrhill, Mass, was totally
destroyed by fire on Friday night last,caused
it is thought, by an over heated stove. It
was a very large shoe manufacturing place,
‘it having made last year $12,000,000 worth
year. About seventy-three blocks and
buildings were burned, in which were over
300 firms employing 3,500 persons, all of
whom are thus thrown out of employment'
The loss is over $2,000,000; nearly covered
by insurance.

We publish in another column, the -thirl.y.
sixth annual statement of the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance company. This
organization makes a practice of giving the
utmost publicity to its financial condition,
the managers knowing that in no way can
public confidence he more easily and thor-
oughly secured. The strength of the com-
pany is wonderful and this will be acknowl-
edged by every one who thinks for a minute
and tries to realize the amount of money
represented by the figures—$50,258784.85—'
which represent the gross assets of the com-
pany December 31,1881. During the year
1881 the company received- $8,160.76g 01
and paid out $7,216,301.34, thus adding
almost a round million to its assets. It paid
nearly $4,000,000 for death claims and
endowment s, and in all paid over $6,000,000
to‘policy holders. The closeness with which
,its great agency business is handled is shown
in the fact that the year’s business was entire-
ly closed without leaving one dollar of prem-
iums in‘ course of collection. It has now.a
clear surplus over all liabilities, by the
severest standard of solvency, of $3,387,572.

JILOW YE GENTLE—STEAM WHISTLE. .
We dodtkngw the inventor of the steam
whistle. and perhapsrit is well we do not, for
if we did, perhaps be (if living) would come
to harm, and if heibe dead,——wcll, we be-_
lieve that'he has been properly cared for and
strict justice meted out to him in the place
where some people go when they die. But-
desd or alive, his whistles are numerous in
the region of South Norwalk Center, and
disturb the peace and quietness of morning,
evening and night, and woe to thossvwho are
within half a mile of the station who at-
tempt to brave their blasts and try to obtain
quiet sleep before midnight. or after five
o'clock in the morning. The history of one
day will be the history of numerous past
days. and as history is said to repeat itself,
will suliicn for days to come, unless a stop
he put to this (we were about to any infernal)
nuisance.
In the morning, a few minutes after five
o’clock,'a locomotive said to be on the early
morning local freight train for Harlem river,
is run out from the round house, or square
house, or house of some other shape, and
two prolonged, furious, sleep-destroying
blasts from the whistle armblown ; for what
purpose we don't know, but a. friend sug-
gests that they are a call for the brakemen,
if so, and if they reside anywhere between
New York and New Haven, they assuredly
can hear the call ; in about five minutes the
two blasts are repeated, and then comes the
switching on the westerly side of the depot
with ten times the noise actually required to
be made, if the efilne man had any regard
for those tryirig’fo' get a quiet sleep, and
especially those who do not or cannot adopt
the maxim of “ early to bed, dvc.” At about
5:50 a blast is heard fully equal to the first-
named, which blast, it is supposed is to
wake up those people in Stamford that are
expected to take the 5:50 (from here) train
to New York. t,6:30 a long, shrill blast
is heard more r mote from the station, sup-
posed to be emitted from the steam whistle
of some of our wide-awake manufacturers
that desire the community to know that they
are early birds; then at 6:45, another of the
same kind is heard, and at 6:50 a deep bass
one tells the good people that it is time to
get up for seven o’clock breakfast, and at
seven o‘clock or thereabouts, (for no two
‘blow at th! same minute) Tom, Dick and
Harry’s factory whistles screach, scream and
tumble, to tell their operatives that it is time
to Commence the day’s work. At twelve
o’clock they go it again, to tell the workmen!
and workwomen that it is time for dinner, at
12:30 they tell them to go to work again, and
at 5:30 more screaming to tell‘ them to go
home. In the evening, and at times quite
late at night, or in the small hours of morn-
ing, more switching on westerly side of the
depot. Thus it goes on from day to day, and
night to night; and the question we wish to
ask of those who do, or should control such
matters, why it is allowed to exist. That
much of this noise is unnecessary, any one
acquainted with such matters know full well,
and there is no manner of doubt but that it
is very injurious to invalids to say nothing
of the annoyance to those in good health that
require rest during the night season. Our
object in writing this, is to call the attention
of the citizens of this place to the fact that
like nuisances have recently been abated in
HartfordfMeriden and other towns in this
state, and that we believe that the best inter-
ests of this ctty require .prompt action, and
an abatement here. The operatives certainly
do not require the whistle blasts to awaken
them, as they are provided with alarm
clocks at home, the factories can by electric
bells on each floor, notify their operatives
when to begin and leave off work, and the
locomotive whistle, and wide open throttle
valves, are not absolutely necessary in the
running of trains and switching. Again we
say, it is quite time that an cflort should be
made to stop this—BLowrxo.
The changed appearance of every office
holder, shown by fly expression of his face,
was exhibited in a marked degree after the
result of the last town meeting Was known
here. The result seems to be. satisfactory,
for the present, at least, but look out for
breakers 'at the next annual election.
Our caterer to men’s appetites, Theodore
Knapp, was not exactly contented in his new
quarters at the Depot Restaurant, but since
he has sold out, and is in full charge of his
old place, he is happy and quite busy.
_Whether as an advertising job, or a proof
that the school master was away from home!
the sign in front of Lauders store is a good
one. “Stoc CloZing out.”
Mr. Buggies is to occupy the mansion of
Alfred Knapp on Chapel street, after April
1st.
Mr. Charles R. Townsend, anative of Nor-
walk, but for many years a resident of New
York, has located his_ family in this city. He
will still attend to his business in New York.
There has not been a season when there
was so active a demand for medium priced
houses, for our mechanics and artizans.
Twenty houses renting from $200 to $250
per annum could be let in one week. A
cluster of houses such as Senator Baker
erected on Clay street, would supply the
need, and would be quickly occupied. Who
will furnish them?
In addition to the manufacturing compa-
nies now located here, another might have
been, as it was Mr. H. H. Ellwoll’s desire
not to go from home to conduct. business-
But Bridgeport called the loudest, and the
result is that the Craighead & Elwell manu—
facturing Co. are employing about 100 men ,
and as a consequence their pay roll is very
heavy, and the Bridgeport merchants have
the benefit of its distribution.
The immense piles of lumber in the yards
of Messrs. Hatch, Bailey & Co.‘ is an indica-
tion that builders need not go further for a
full supply.
A very interesting service in German, was
held in Trinity Chapel on Sunday. The
snow storm prevented many from attending.
At the Union Temperance service, held
Sunday evening in the Congregational church,

account of the detrimental effects on one
family, of the use of intoxicating liquors.
He insisted that while the people vote for

The Sound Sher-e of Norwalk
Harbor as a. Summer Resort.
The extension of the Danbury dr Norwalk
Railroad to the Sound is likely to add largely
to the number of our summer visitors to the
charming seaside resorts at the mouth of the
Norwalk harbor lying between the Norwalk
and Five Mile Rivers. The only available
means of reaching these favorite resorts
Keyser’s Island, Wilson‘s Point. Bell Island,
Pine Point and Roton Point, has been by
private and public carriages, by sail boats
and an occasional steam tug, when specially
chartered for that purpose. The numbers
taken by sail boats has not been large, owing
to the uncertainty of the winds, and the cer-
tainty of low tides about one half of the time,
and the steam tugs me not always comfort-
able, so that most of the visitors have been
obliged to take the carryalls or drive their
own or hired teams, from three to any num-
ber of miles inland, with a scorching sun and
over dusty roads, to reach the shores where
the cool and invigorating sea breeze could be
found, yet, notwithstanding these drawbacks
the numbers of our citizens and those from
towns adjoining that could be found any day
during the summer at the points named,
reached many hundreds and often thousands.
The completion of tlie extended railroad to
Wilson’s Point will doubtless add largely to
the number of visitors from all towns on the
line of that railroad, and will probably ten-
fold the numbers who bave heretofore gone
there from Norwalk and So. Norwalk. The
points that will be most benefitted by this
new mode of conveyance will be Wilson’s
Point, Dell Island, Pine Point and Roton
Point, Kcyser's Island lying too far east to
be affected. The attractions at Wilson’s
Point will (for the present) be pure sea air,
and a promenade on the steamboat pier,
which will jut three hundred feet into the
Sound, on which arrangements will be made
for shade and seats for visitors, and . in our
opinion the pier will be the coolest place
to be found upon the Sound- shore. We
also hear that the railroad company intend
erecting on the southern extremity of the
upland on this point, and for which they
have procured two acres of land, a large pa-
vilion similar to the one at Brookside Park
at Bedding, to be in readiness for another
year, and that they intend to bring to the
point an ample supply of pure spring water
for their own use and that of visitors,and that
the grounds will be arranged for the comfort
and convenience of large and small parties
who go there by train.
At. Bell Island, next point west, a number
of cottages are to be erected for family use,
a boarding-house opened. an extensive res-
taurant both for visitors and residents of
cottages, a dancing pavillion and a pavillion
on the point of rocks at the extreme southern
and of the island. On the western shore of
this island a bathing beach not surpassed by
any on.thc Sound, some eight hundred feet
in length, and with two feet of water at low
tide, will be provided with bathing houses
sufficient for the largest parties.
' Barges will meetthe trains on their arrival
'st Wilson's Point to convey passengers to the“
island where they can enjoy all of the de-
lights of a sea side resort. This Island has
been purchased by Messrs. Foster Brothers
and L. R. Mansfield of Danbury, who will
with their families occupy three of the cot-
tages about to be erected, and the project for
a large hotel is now being entertained.
Pine Point, next west of Bell Island, will
probably be soon arranged for summer visi-
tors, juts out into deep water in the Sound,
and willmake a charming resort for the sum-
mer months. A steamboat wharf is now
being built at this point.
Roton Point is too well known to require
a description from us, as its shaded groves
and sea air is known to all within a day’s ride,
and we learn that a small steamboat will be
run between that point and‘ Wilson’s Point to
meet all of the incoming and outgoing trains
on the road, which will so largely increase
the number of visitors there that we don’t
know where “Ackert ” will have room to
pack them, or whether the clams will hold out
for the fabulous number of clam bakes that
will be required by such incensed patronage.
We learn that it is the intention of the
railroad company to run. during the summer
frequent trains between Norwalk and South
Norwalk to Wilson's Point, both day and
evening, and that some of the trains will be
run to Winnipauk, and perhaps to Wilton.
Excursion tickets will be placed at a low fig-
ure so as to give all an opportunity to enjoy
the benefits of the salt sea air on our Sound
shore.
A man going round the world from 'west
to eat, gains a day, but one who stays at
home and keeps himself in order with Cobb’s
Liltle PodOphyllyn Pills, gains many of
them. Only 25 cents. H. S. Betts, agent.
