According to the Standard, P. T. Barnum
does not want any burglars prowling about

telephone connections with other buildings
and the police station, electric, bells that
reach the houses of employes in the neigh-
borhood, &c., and has had placed on the out-
side of his house several large gongs artfully
concealed among the ornamentation. To

A Green’s Farms farmer put the potatoes
dug from several acres into the market when
the price was high, realizing $1.70 per
bushel for them. Neighbors thought he was
out of his head, which has no effect on him,

he wants for his own use at fifty cents per
bushel.
The schooner Lizzie A. Tolles having been
overhauled, painted and adorned Capt.
Serene Allen invited some 200 friends to see
how handsome she was, and 'Wednesday—
one of the fairest days of summer, they
started for a sail. More than 200 took
passage, audit was their intention to cross
the Sound, but the wind being light and
uncertain they kept on the Connecticut side
which, always is the safe side, anchoring at
Smith’s Island, where many went ashore to
see the light house, walk on the sand, est
dinners and enjoy themselves generally. It

Speeches were made by Rev. . N. Lewis,
M. W. Wilson, and others enabling excnr.
siouists the better to see the joyful features
—the pleasant phases of a day so beautiful.
The wisdom of Capt. Allen in not wandering
far, was seen when the good vessel with her
delighted living freight landed at her wharf

The Peixotto family who once lived in the
house now occupied by Mr. Charles Hurl-
.butt, owned the first piano ever brought to
Westport. Nearly 60 years ago a man
named Huntington made a piano in the old
store which stood on the wharf near the
house now occupied by Mr. James Allen,
and not in Allen house, as the Westporter
has it. That piano was purchased by the
late General Henry Sherwood, and kept
many :years by him. It is not generally
known that John Jacob Astor. the million-
aire was, early in life, a maker of ' pianos,
but jsuch is the fact, and one of his first
specimens,elegant lu-its time but the:reverse

Failing to read the statutes the voters of
the South Saugatuck district never knew till
recently that a law was some years ago en-
acted requiring school ofilcers to be chosen
by ballot. Year after year they have kept
on electing by acclqmation. All were happy
and none the wiser because of the irregular-
ity. At the annual meeting Mr. Michael
Rice, a good man, was chosen district com-
mittee, and somebody opposed to Mr. Rice,
having heardpf the new law went and in-
formed the SchoolhBoard of the village (t)
proceedings. The Board, surprised at the
act, and that similar acts by a district in
their charge could have been perpetuated,
without their knowing it, ordered a new
election, and Mr. Patrick Murphy became
committee by ballot. '

The confirmation, by the Senate of Capt.
H. P. Barr's nomination for postmaster of
this place, and the prospect of his assuming
a position from which he was wrongfully
and unjustly removed five years ago, gives
satisfaction here. His reinstatement not only
vindicates a character for honesty asbailed,
but it shows that charges brought against a
good man, his arrest and payment of fine, do
not necessarily make a criminal of him. To
Mr. Horace Staples, of the First National
Bank, belongs the honor of pioneering and
supporting .from first to last Capt. Burr’s
cause, but a division of that honor so as to
give a share each to Messrs. B. L. Wood-
worth, H. R. Tresdwell and others in town,
not forgetting good friends in Washington,
may be made without detracting therefrom.
Capt. Burr‘s commission is dated August 7,
and it will hold during the term of President
Arthur who created it. He will take pos-
session of the office so soon as the requisite
oath is placed on record, and his bond,is ap-
proved and filed. ,Rumor says his quarters
will be 0. N5, Hurlbutt's block. He will be
obliged to resign the office of Town Clerk.

Excursions.
The excursions on the Daubury & Nor-
walk Railroad last week were all a success.
On Tuesday the G. A. R. of South Norwalk
spent the day and evening at Brookside Park;
on Wednesday, St. James Episcopal Society
of Danbury were in force at the Park; on
Thursday the Second M. E. Church of Nor-
walk and the M. E. Society of East Norwalk
filled ten cars for Brooksidc. On Friday the
Disciples church of Daubury were at the
Park, and five car loads from the Baptist
church of Danbury, went to Rotou Point,
si'a the extension. All of the parties expresg
great satisfaction with their excursions, and
award Supt. Ssudiforth much praise for the
perfect arrangements for their comfort, both
on the trains and at the Park.

Shepaug Railroad.
During a recent trip up' the Shepsug Val-
ley we were much pleased to find the tracks
of the Shepaug Railroad in such excellent
condition, and we are sure that the travelling
public will join with us in giving Superin-
tendent McNaill due credit for the thorough
manner in which he has brought the road
bed to true surface, and the alignment of the
rails so that the cars now glide over them
with so much comfort for those occupying
them. We are glad to learn that the business
of the road is steadily increasing, and hope
the increase may continue, until the stock-
holders realize something tangible for their
investment.

The only accident of any moment in con-
nection with the cruise of the Neptune club
occurred to Gunner Betta on his way home
from the vessel, when he acccidcutally
smashed a bottle containing half a pint of
firstoclass cold water purifier, which probe.
bly belonged to the medical stores. After
carrying it all the way to the Bluffs and back
again, it was provoking enough to lose it.
That so much waslbrought home, however,
proves conclusively that the members en-
joyed fully the usual degree of good health.
The doctor is proud of the good condition in
which the club returned, and the fact that
he did not lose a man is a feather in his cap.
No wonder he wears such a rose-colored
smile.
’ Last Friday evening a woman’s screams
from near the horse railway depot, brought
out a crowd of people to learn the muse. It
seems that a rough customer attempted to
leave Meseberg’s saloon without paying for
his drinks, when Mrs. Meseberg caught hold'
of him and screamed for help. He drew her
into the street, struck her and finally tore
himself away and made gocd his escape be-

A four pound blackfish was flopping in a
basket in front of Merrill’s store, Saturday.
If the lucky fisherman who caught it had
only had the wisdom to have brought it to
the Gaznrrn ofiioe, the editor would have
weighed it accurately and possibly stretched
it up to a five pounder, and would have given
his own weight, and pedigree; the color of
his hair; also whether married or single,
with his politics and religion, and all just to
encourage others to “send in” all such whop-
ping fish whenever taken in our harbor.

Base Ball.
Danbury tackled Norwalk once too often.
Because they had won two games the New.
England Club evidently thought the Norwalk
boys all sleepy, but they found out their mis-
take on Saturday. when they “ saw Stars.”
The game was played on the Fair Grounds,
was fairly attended. and closely contested as
shown by the appended score. The first in-
ning was bad for the Stars. but the 4th ended
5 to 2 in their favor; the 6th closed 9 to 6 in
favor of the New England Club; the 7th was
'tie; the 8th the Stars were 1 ahead; -on the
9th, the New England was whitewashed, and
the game ended. As the Stars, with one ex-
ception, are under twenty years of age, they
feel rather proud of their success in main-
taining the reputation of Norwalk.

While playing with his daughter, the father

O
The Stamford Fire.
At the Stamford fire, last week Monday,
there were rumors that two men were killed
ju the church. Brown was taken out alive,
‘aud he persisted in stating that there was an-
other man in the church when he was hurt.
.Dr. Howell's man, Harry Mead, was missing
since Monday. but be was thought to be in
New York, and no one else was unaccounted
for. It is now stated, however, that the bones
of another man have been found.
The fire, and its management, shows that
Stamford borough needs one good steam fire
engine and a well organized Fire Police com-
pany. ‘ '
The total insurance on the church amounts
to $21,000. The sum of 814,000 was recent-
ly spent in enlarging the building.
At a special- meeting of the Stamford
Borough Board, a vote of thanks was ten-
dered in behalf of the people of Stamford, to
the fire department of Norwalk, “for their
prompt response and efiiclent service at the
fire of the First Presbyterian church."

Servant Girls.
We wonder if thqge is any other nation on
the face of the earth that is so troubled as is
America with the Servant Girl question ?
Housekeeping has become almost impos-
oue servant. as that one servant is so hard to
please that unless one chooses to give up the
parlors to her and the mistress do all. the
work, she at once objects to remaining.
It is amusing to note the questions a girl
asks these days before engaging. One re-
cently desired to know the dimensions of
the kitchen! and when told that it would
not be large enough to hold the questioner
and the speaker, seemed surprised.
“ Is the missus in the kitchen much f" is
quite a common Inquiry. But the strangest
reason we have heard given for not remain-
ing with a family was that of a girl not four
months in the country. It was that the
family would not furnish her room with a
toilet set in which to keep perfumery ! Fact.
What to do about it has become quite a
serious question. In the Western cities they
have cut the gordiun knot by giving up
housekeeping and taking to hotel life.
In cities like Chicago and San Francisco.
for instance, the Eastern traveler is lost in
wonderment at the many mammoth hotels
he sees, and wonders how they all exist. But
when he realizes the number of families who
either live there entirely, or who, at least,
have their meals there, he ceases to wonder.
Here, in Norwalk, we feel quite sure were
there ouly,hotel accommodations for them,
at reasonable rates, one-third of the small
householders would give up housekeeping
in disgust.
And, by the way. the “greenhorus” are
the hardest to get along with. A girl that
scarcely knows the difference between a tin
cup and a tea-kettle will coolly ask $12 to
$14 per month, with sbvcn evenings in the
week. And with the fact always in view
that this is a free country, she will give her
tongue all the freedom imaginable when dis-
cussing the afrairs of the family.
What is the remedy for' this state of things
it is hard to say. Either ladies must do their
own work or resolve not to engage a girl
who cannot come well recommended from
her last place; and let all the ladies posi-
tively refuse to so recommends girl who is
not willing and able to do her work prop-
erly.
Those who are fortunate enough to have
girls who have lived out at service here any
length of time are not so troubled; but
Heaven help the family which is forced to
put up with the ignorance and impudence of
the new comers.
Not the least disagreeable part of it is the
suddenness with which one of these girls
will pack up her traps and leave a family
in the lurch, and no amount of reasoning
will convince them that it is wrong. But if
a girl Who acts thus were made to under-
stand that she could not get another place,
it would make her more civil. The question
is a difiicult one to handle, but'unless ladies
who are forced to employ help unite on some
plan of action, it will soon be impossible to
keep house in a small way, and, like the
Westerners, we shall have to take to hotels
in a body. ~ B. —
