CITY OF WEST NORWALK.
The drowning of young Gstely on Sunday
week, has recalled to the minds of some of
the older inhabitants, the drowning of young
Price, in the milk pond of Mt Charles Sel-
leck, 60 years since. These two are thought
to be the only cases of drowning in this vi-
cinity, within that time, though there have
been many narrow escape's,‘ both in summer
and winter.
There has been a ripple of excitement dur-
ing the week, over the alleged maltreatment
of a four year old boy, but the full particu-
lars have not been obtained.
This section continues to be the favorite
route for families or belles and beaux, when
they wish to take a romantic or retired route
for an afternoon'or moonlight evening ride.
Were our public thoroughfares in a- proper
condition, we could say truthfully, that in
the winding paths of Bull Run, and the shady
roads of this city, no pleasanterdrives are to
be found away from the shores of Long Is-
land Sound.
Mrs. Henry Bell, of Stamford, is visiting
with her mother, Mrs. Stephen Tompkins.
We regret to hear of the illness of Miss
Sarah Tompkins. It is supposed she caught
the measles while visiting away from home.
The tax payers in this locality, are thank-
ful that Collector St. John does not forget
them, not only because they are glad to see
so affable and efficient a town officer, but be-
‘cause it reminds them of a duty which they
intend to perform, at the annual town meet-
ing, the reconsidering and rescinding the res-
olution abolishing district surveyor. The
suburban districts have suffered sufiiciently
from the neglect of the roads.

Mr. Walker Bates died last Thursday
afternoon, aged eighty-six years. Mr Bates
wasanative and life-long resident of this
town. He possessed a large mind, and
though he enjoyed only limited educational
opportunities in his youth, made very ex-
tensive intellectual acquisitions. He had
aflabilitv of manner and high conversational
powers, so that his society was greatly sought
after and enjoyed by all, especially the
young, even to advanced years. In early
life Mr. Bates commenced teaching in the
public schools of this and adjoining towns.
In 1823 he opened a boarding and day school
for boys, and continued it for many years.
lie was a very skillful and successful teach-
er, and taught many who are now filling
important positions. He was of the leading
men of the town, and was honored by his
fellow citizens with many local offices, was
often called to preside at town meetings,
and was a member of the Legislature of the
State in 1832, 1835, 1340, 1854, 1862, and
1864. He-was in several instances called by
the Speaker of the House to preside and
acquitted himself successfully. He was
often chosen as executor or administrator in~
the settlement of estates, and- filled various
important trusts to the satisfaction of all
concerned. He was a strict temperance
man. For many years he was a member of
the Congregational Church. He was also
for a not short period of time the leading
member of the Ecclesiastical Society's Com-
mittee, and likewise a teacher in the Sunday
School. During the last five or six years of
his lifclhe was an invalid, and much of that
time a great sufferer. At the last he passed
very quietly away from earth. One of Red-
ding’s ablest men has thus fallen into the
arms of death. ,
Last week was noted for its bright sun,
intense heat. and great facilities foriharvest-
ing the abundant hay crop. The farmers
rushed the business. . Most of them have fin-

A portion of a man's body.‘ Wasfound by
Captain Toms oflE Stamford cove a few days
ago, and buried in the West Stamford ceme-
tery by the town authorities. The body had
evidently been in the water for some months
and was so mutilated by fishes and sea-spid-
ers that but little more than the trunk and
bones of the head and limbs remained. Last
week another body of a man was found all
Darien. From the brick dust found in the
boots and clothing, it is supposed that the
man was lost from some vessel loaded with
brick. A captain of such a vessel, of Long
Island, was lost overboard some time ago.
John Davis, a drunken negro, made sever-
al attempts to assualt women and girls on the

narrowly escaped being lynched by friends
of those whom he had tried to assualt. They
were lying in wait for him, and but for the
prompt arrest by the officers there might been
a "crowner’s quest" instead of a trial.

of the late Morris Ketchum, Rev. A. N.

g In the large audience assembled at National
Hall, Thursday evening, were good judges
of music who expressed the opinion that the
entertainment was equal to any of a similar
nature ofiered here of late. Miss Nellie
Dunn and her sister of Stamford, sang and
played charmingly. The latter performed
nearly all the:accompaniments.and two solos.
Mr. Jellifie was heard but once, but to ad-
vantage. Dr. Powers’, two numbers plmed,
but his “When the Swallows,” as an encore,
pleased more. Mr. Corbin sang “Star of
Love” and “Love Me,” and got a flower
bouquet. Miss Elsie Lees, who is delighting
the people of one of Stamford’s largest
churches as its leading soprano, was greeted
warmly. Her method has improved since
last she sang here. For “Ave Maria” by
Dudley Buck she took applause and a
basket of flowers, and paid for them in a
song by 'way of encore. All the ladies re-
ceived flowers. The concert was a success.
FRESH “acres" on can. BUTLER.
The following appears for the first time in
print. At the re-union of the Army and
Navy club at Fenwick Hall. Capt. W. S.
Staples of this place, who had command of
the gunboat Tuscarora during the war. was
invited to respond to the toast, “The Navy.”
He said he was not prepared to make a set
speech, but. if agreeable would tell a new
story. Everybody knows, he said..gunboats
under Farragut took New Orleans—that the
army had nothing special to brag of in the
premises. Gen. Butler's army was down
the river below the forts. Farragut sent the
news to Washington, via Fortress Monroe,
and Butler [supposing of course some of his
men must have had a hand in capture sent a
dispatch to the Secretary of War, to the of.
feet, “I have the lhonor to [communicate
that the city of New Orleans has surrendered
to the armies of the United States," and
there was not a, soldier of the army within
150 miles of the city when it was taken.
Loud applause followed and the Captain's
speech, which was not intended as a speech
was accepted as the best speech of the re-
union. F
Wednesday the mercury was at 90 degrees
at 10 a. m. and 90 at 5:30 p. m., and that

In reply to the question f'How did. you en-

ed from Saratoga said. “It's all well enough
to be in fashion. but. to tell the plain truth,
there’s more solid comfort at home in the
shade of one’s own trees than in \twenty Sar-
atoga’s." ' .
Astonishing! The amount of freight daily
brought to Westport by the New Haven can
but it is explained thus. Freight, trains run
now with almost the regularity of passenger
trains, and dealers here may go to New York
in the morning, buy goods, ship, have them
delivered and offer them over their counters
before night. .
The price of potatoes having declined to

Adams Brothers.
This concern is doing its part toward de-
monstrating what is evident to the minds of
observers, that South Norwalk is a rising
city. The process of enlarging their build-
ing west of the railroad station indicates
that their prosperity cannot, as it has evi-
dently been for two or three years, confined
within a few narrow walls. Hence the ex-
pansion which is now going forward. Like
all successful firms. their beginning was
small, and they have no t on developing;
overcoming obstacles, an solving problems
which diverse tastes of customers in a grett
market are continually oficring. Ere long
these additions their buildings will be finish-
ed and they will set out anew in the fulfill-
ment of their missions. An inspection of
what they have in hand may show that,
-where 12,000 feet of floor space was adequate
to their requirements a few years ago,now 18-
000 feet are needed, and if the future is to be
judged by their past, the' time is not far dis-
tant when that wonderful capacity will have
lobe doubled. ‘ ' -
Adams Brohers are manufacturers of hats
—not technically, but such in the true sense
of that‘term. and it can be said there is little
pertaining to but manufacture which cannot
be done under their roofs. In proof of this,
one may almost begin with fur, as it grows
upon the back of an animal, the coney for
instance, and follow it in their shops
through the various operations and changes
it undergoes in the hands of an army of ar-
tificers until it reappears in attractive shape
an article of merchandise. ' This can be said
of few engaged in the hat industry. Meth-
ods, ways and means—the details as to how-
hats are madccannot well be entered into in
an article of this kind. So long as Adams
Bros. _supply [a first class hat, the reader,
who of course is the buyer, and wearer,
cares not by what mechanical process it as-
sumes shape and reaches him at a fair price,
but it is proper to say of this firm that,
employees and employers mutually striving
to produce a good article. is the key to their
success. Thus striving men have begun
young and grown old’in their employ, and
age seems to have increased’rather than di-
minished the interest in the industry taken
by them. As showing this, Mr. Berwell F.
Day has been foreman of their “making"
department 17 years, Mr.. O. E. Trowbrilllge
foreman of the “finishers" 17 years, and r.
Seth Remington has been 17 years foreman
of the “curlers." In other departments of
the shops-there are similar spectacles, and to
see these persons of ,mature yearslthus ling-
ering at an occupation in many cases simply
for the love of it. induces pleasant thoughts.
Thus are Adams Bros. striding on, and hat
wearers,and that means every person in South
Norwalk, hope they may long continue so
doing—Sentinel.- »

John 0. Hamilton. son of Alexander
Hamilton, died at Long Branch, Tuesday at
the age of ninety. He was born at Phila-
delphia during his father's term as secretary
of the treasury and was twelve years old
when his father was killed in the duel with
Aaron Burr. He graduated at Columbia
college in 1809 and was subsequently admit-
ted to the bar but did not practice law long
as he possessed a fortune and his tastes were
literary. He wrote memoirs of his father
and a “History of the Republic,” also pub-
lished the “Works of Alexander Hamilton"
in seven octave volumes. He never held of-
fice, thoughhe was once an aid to General
Harrison in'ths waer 1812 and was once a
republican candidate for congress from New
York city. For thirt years past he has oc-
cupied the house 17 est Twentieth street,
New York. Nine children survive him, one
of them being General Schuyler Hamilton of
Mexican war and rebellion fame.

The flow of lava which threatened last
year to destroy Hilo, the only city on the
Island of Hawaii, is now still and cold, pre-
senting the appearance of a black, gleaming,
turbulent river. It started from the crater
of Manna Lea, and for nine months made its
way slowly down the side of the mountain, a
distance of seventy miles, finally stopping
within a uarter of a mile of o. The ma

The first performance of We ner’s new

tion of the music charmed the audience and
aroused indescribable enthusiasm. Wagner
was called before the curtain after the second
act, and made a fitting acknowledgment for
the reception of the performance.

The Albany Argus relates the adventure of
a Harvard student who went shooting in the
Catskills with a shot gun. As he was eating
his lunch he heard a rustic in the bushes
near him, but paid no attention to it. On
his way home he heard the same noise, and
conclfled that some animal was following
him. As he paused and raised his gun, he
saw a large panther preparing to spring upon
him. He discharged the gun inthe animal’s
face and jumped aside. Thebrute, blinded
with the. shot, sprang forward. fell upon a
ledge of rocks and remained stunned by the
fall. The sportsman then made his escape,
reaching his home breathless and faint. '
The only way to deal with a her is to beat
him at his own game. That is, of course,
unless he is the editor of a pious newspaper.

about his trip across the Atlantic, and how.

swarm of locusts, and the locusts carried
away every stitch of canvas off the ship."

'A voracious gentleman just back from the

story to the editor of. the Austin Reveille .’
“He was down below the canyon, some
forty miles from here, riding quietly along,
when an immense cloud of grasshoppers
darkened the air. Directly he saw a similar
cloud in the shape of a whirlwind coming
from the opposite direction, and the two
bodies came into collision of a peculiar vio-
lence, and with a roaring sound resembling
that of a hail and thunder storm mixed. The
dead hoppers poui'ed down like the furious
drops and streams of a genuine cloud-burst, ;
filling the atmosphere almost to suffocation.
In less than fifteen minutes they covered the
ground for over 100 acres to the depth of
from six inches to three feet. His horse fell
twice before he got beyond the confines of
the storm. Passengers on the narrow-guage
railroad describe that thousands of crows
and buzzards are gathered at the locality
mentioned."

Anact of Christian heroism which ought
not to go unrecorded was performed last
Wednesday-evening near Newport, Charles
County, Md. The Blltilnore Su'n thus de-
scribes it: "A colored man, Louis Matthews,
a victim of smallpox, lay dead in his cabin.
In the room with the dead man were his
wife and two small children suffering with
the same _ disease. Of course every one
avoided the cabin, fearing the contagion. A
gentleman of the neighborhood, Mr. Julian
Norris,hsd a grave dug about 200 yards
from the house, and a coffin was placed near
it. The Rev. J. A. Cunuane, pastor of St.
Mary's Catholic Church at Newport. Who
had been visiting the stricken family, minis-
tering to their temporal and spiritual Wants,
seeing the utter loneliness of the family, at
once took it upon himself to bury the dead.
Unaided. he took the cofiin to the cabin,
placed therein the loathsome corpse, and,
mustering extraordinary strength, transferred
the cofilned corpse to a Wheelbarrow, con-

A man living at Derby. N. Y., has a year-
ling heifer that- helps herself to water by
moving the pump-handle up and down with
her headland horns. While she will work
away until she satisfies herself when thirsty,
she will not pump for the remainder of the
herd. If an animal she cannot master comes
up to drink, she demllrely walks away and
chews her cud until the coast is clear, when
she will go back and pump until she gets
water enough for herself.
Last week a bear destroyed nine sheep be-
longing to at Salt Laker, who was herding
them in one of the canon; between Salt Lake‘
and Park City. The owner came to the city,
armed himself, and concluded he would take
a bear hunt, but upon returning and finding
twelve more of hill sheep torn to pieces and a
grizzly track thirteeninches long. he changed
his mind. He had not lost any bears, ”and
not wishing to lose any more sheep, he drove
this band to a safer retreat, near Salt Lake.

A mystery of the sea'has justbeen solved,
and its solution discloses. in' all probability
a diabolical crime. In the fall of 1867 the
schooner Explorer sailed from Goderich
on Lake H_uron'for Georgian Bay with a
stock'of goodstotradc among the Indijnr.
Late -in Novemberiof, the same year John
Waddel, wheowned and sailed her. returned
to Port Huron and told a pitiful tale undis-
alter. He said that the schoonerahsd been
struck by a squall and knocked on her beam
ends, so that the cargo shifted. The two
ll‘tllOl’S went into the hold against his wishes
for 'the purpose of, rolling some barrels to
windward, andsthusgrighting her, and while
they were thus engaged anoth‘er' sudden gust
sank the vessel, and the men were drowued,
the owner alone escaping. The following
spring Waddel, having collected his insurance
of $4,000, removed to Goderich. It was
noticed that he made frequent trips with his
little boy in an open boat to the North Shore, '
and, in 1870, on one of- these voyages the
boat was capsized, and father and son were
drowned.
