The rain, the blessed rain came on Sun-
day. It’came in the morning, continued
mildly all day, and during the night the fall
was quite heavy. Yesterday morning was'
clear and bright, and the air fresh and invig-
orating. The rain soaked into the parched
earth and did. not swell the rivers to any ex—
tent. The storm must have done a great deal
of good.
#
Special Town Meeting.
A special Town Meeting is called for next
Saturday afternoon to act upon a petition
for the extension of Osborn avenue, Down
Town, and also to consider the matter. of
building a new iron or wood draw for the
drawbridge at South Norwalk.
At last the markets are filled with peaches
of good size and excellent quality, and at
fairly reasonable prices. In New York
enormous quantities came in towards the end
of the week, and on Saturday the market
was over supplied, and remarkably fine fruit
sold at sixty cents per basket on the East
side and for fifty demo at. Washington Mar-
ket. Specially choice fruit, large and lus-
cious, sold for $1.25 per basket. Probably
the price was'up again yesterday, but low
prices will be apt to prevail during the week.
w
The Schools.
The public schools re-open next Monday.
The dates for the re-opening of the various
private schools in this vlclnity will be found
in the advertisements of the schools.
Several Danbury Railroad officials made a
trip last Saturday with Capt. Perkins, to
examine the steamer John Sylvester, which
Commodore White proposed to charter, if
satisfactory to the committee, for the Nor-
walk route, connecting with the railroad at
Wilson‘s Point. The committee were not
satisfied with the Sylvester, and there is now
talk of chartering a boat for the railroad
company and running in opposition to
Commodore White’s line. The Sylvester
was on the Bridgeport route last season,-
running in opposition to the Roscdale,and was
generally Considered, we believe, a “crack”
boat. She is now running between New
York and Glen Island as an excursion boat.
Of her record and condition wcgknow noth-
rug.
Our Churches.
Owing to the storm there was a slim at-
tendance at the churches last Sunday. '
At the First Congregational church, Rev.
John G. Davenport, of Waterbury filled the
pulpit, last Sunday. Next Sunday, Rev. S.
B. S. Bissell will have charge of the com-
munion service in the morning, and there
will he a Sunday school concert in the even-
lng.
While driving to Stamford, on Sunday
with his wife and child, officer Ritch had a
narrow escape. As he was crossing the rail-
road track' at Darien, the horse became fright-
ened, jumped off to One side and smashed
the carriage against a telegraph. pole, taking
off one wheel, and then started on a run.
Mrs. Ritch jumped from the carriage after
the collision, with her child in her arms:
and escaped with a few bruises. Mr. Bitch
finally stopped the horse, and after obtaining
another carriage the party drove on to Stam-
ford.

tramp Notes.
Among the military men who have accept-
ed invitations to visit the encampment at
Niantic are_CJl. Theodore S. Weidersheimer
of the First Pennsylvania regiment, General
flame and staff of Newark, commander of
the national guard of New Jersey, Colonel
Henry Hues of General Huested’s staff, New
York state Fencibles and Gen. D. N. Couch
of Norwalk, former quartermaster general of
the Connecticut National Guard.
The soldiers will be obliged to remain in
camp all the week. There will be 112 men
on guard duty every day, besides a provost
guard of 100 men; and every man found
outside the lines will be fined $10 and placed
in the guard-house.
Asa lot of baggage marked “B. J. S."
was mixed up with that of the Welby troupe
last Thursday morning, on its way to the
steamer, some of the knowing ones surmised
that as the company sadly needed a leading
man, “Ben” had been secured for the posi-
tion. If so the company is to be congratu-
ated.
Probably the largest crowd of the season
was at Roton Point, last Wednesday. in at-
tendance upon the pic-nic given by'members_
of Old Well Hook do Ladder company.
The principal attractions were a concert by
the Wheeler 87 Wilson Band, and vocal
music by Miss Bungert, mBrooklyn vocalist.
The affair was a gratifying success and the
“members" have reason to be well pleased
with their first effort in thisfline.
#
It makes the soldiers laugh'to see so much
in the papers about “better discipline at cn-
campmcnt, this yeari" It is the old story
. over again, and they are so used to it that-
\ they are not frightened one bit. “Strict
disciplinarians” can turn on the screws to a
limited extent but they cannot grind Conn.
.voluntecrs into sausage meat. The men,
however, are generally intelligent and order-
ly, and desire'good and reasonable discipline
maintained as much as the higher officers do.
W
Progress of organizing the Cotton Wad-
diug company is discouragingly slow. Why
won’t some of those great liberal hearted
men who are so anxious to have new indus-
tries brought here, put their mite if not their
shoulder to the wheel and give a vigorous and
healthy push.
O .
The Bertha Welby troupe played at the
Opera House last Wednesday evening, to a
slim audience. Miss Welby. made a fine ap-
pearance and played remarkably well con-
sidering the manner in which she was sup-
ported. The performancc Washardly more
than a rehearsal, with the best man left out
on account of sickness.
The 17th C. V. Ito-union.
The annual reunion of the old 17th Regi-
ment, C. V., was held yesterday at Seaside
Park, Bridgeport. The day was delightful,
the attendance of veterans was quite large,.
and the affair passed ofi ain pleasing and sat-
isfactory manner. The Bridgeport veterans
the depot, and with the Wheeler to Wilson
Band escorted them to the Grand Army
Hall where the business meeting was held.
The meeting was called to order by Pat-
rick Wade, I’resident of the Association,

Wade, err-Postmaster General James and P.
T. Barnum.
After the adjournment of this meeting the
line was again formed and marched to Sea
Side Park where a clam bake was served.
Abuot one hundred and fifty veterans were
present at dinner, and as many more of their
wives andfriends. After dinner a meeting
was organized in the pavilion which was ad-
dressed by President Dunham, Gen. Noble,
P. T. Barnum, ex-P. M. Gen. James, "Drum.
mer Boy” Pine, Lt.-Col. Allen, and Dr. Por-
ter. The Wheeler & Wilson Band furnish-

The County‘Fair.
The annual Fair of the Fairfield Co.
Agricultural Society will be held week after
next, commencing on Tuesday. The season
has not been good for crops and fruit, but it
is believed that there will be no lack of en-
tries to interest the public. A match game
of Base Ball is announced for the afternoon
of the opening day, for the prize of a Silver
tested by the Winnipauks of Norwalk-. and
the Rosedalcs of Bridgeport.
An Organ Recital.
Mr. H. Clarence Eddy, of Chicago. who is
to give an Organ Recital at the First Con-
gregational Church this (Tuesday) evening,
stands at 'the head of his profession, as
organist and teacher. One of his musical
feats was the playing of one hundred recitals
without the repetition of a single piece.
His step daughter, Mrs. Henry S. Bissell, is
the attraction which brings him to Norwalk.

London Assurance. 9
The large advance sale of seats assures a
crowded house to greet Miss Dyas and her
company on Friday evening. London Assur-
ance is a comedy that is sure to delight an
audience, especially when rendered bysucha
company as will produce it on this occasion.
When one can see Miss Dyes, the Holland
brothers, Mr. Owen, Frederick Paulding, and
other talented performers in one play, it
would be strange indeed if the house were
not crowded to the doors. Judging from
those who are buying tickets there will be
an audience such as is seldom seen here, and
when Miss Dyas appears before the footiights
to render the famous hunting speech of the
play, she will probably see before her an au-_
dience never surpassed in town.

The programme for Camp Harmon, at
Nisntic, includeea review by the governor

presentment, by Dorman B. Eaton, of the

more so because it will be universally re-

Obituary.
MRS. 1.x. GRAND sm'rlr, '
Whose death in a foreign land has brought
sorrow to many hearts in our midst, was a
woman of rare mental endowments. Her life
has been, at times, one of great physical suf-
fering, known only to a few friends and rela-
tives, but . borne with most cheerful and
Christian resignation. Being of a retiring,
sensitive nature, she shrank from publicity
in every way, but her attainments were of a
very high order; gifted in many arts, and
charming in conversation. Her’s was Indeed
a loving Christian character, in which shone
above all other graces. perfect charity, and
pure unselfish'ness. Those who knew her
best as the daughter-in-lsw of the late Judge
Stephen Smith can best sympathize with
those whose hopes of her soon returning, are
so suddenly blighted. Having been ill in
Italy with Roman fever, she had by slow
stages reached Paris and engaged passage for
home. Truly, the ocean is creased. the jour-
ney is ended, and she has reached her Eter-
nal Home. ' Cort.

attacked the Egyptian position at Tel-el-Ma-

of the first division supported by the cavalry
and artillery. The advance was met by a
ra ' and destructivefiré, and despite the
utm st efforts of the British ofiicers it was
impossible to keep the troops up to their
work and the attack was repulsed along the
whole line with heavy loss. The Eg tians
were largely reinforced from Tel-el- bir
during Friday night and fought with more
confidence than they have hitherto displayed
their artillery being especially well handled
and its fire very accurate, while the infantry
fire was so hot that the British advance did
not even succeed in reaching the first line of
Arabi’s entrenchment. Arabi Pasha person-
ally dh'ected the movements of the E ptian
troops. After the repulse General olsely
ordered all his available forces at Ismalia,
Nefich and Suez to proceed at once to the
front. To day the British advanced a col-
umn in the direction Kassassin lock with
the intention of occupying that point and
heavy firing is now going on at the front.
The British troops have made a further
advance of a few miles alonf the fresh-water
canal to the Kassarin lock. Further details
of the results of the fightingflast week are
given. All Was quiet at the front yesterday.
The British yesterday shelled the enemy's
outposts in the direction of Aboukir and
opened fire on his position on the left bank of
the Mahmoudieh Canal, The enemy replied
feebly in both cases. and the impression gains

The Hoyt Brothers oom' any, which for-
merly was located in South orwalk. having
transferred‘their business to this place has
just finished removing their material for
oyster dredging. The steamer brought two
loads. The company is constructing a large
oyster house at the wharf just south of
Quinnlpiac drawbridge. The first intention
was to build of brick, but as the concern was
in a hurry to-begin early fall shipments the
building has been built of wood. The com-
pany has large capacity and will probably
ship 500 barrels of oysters per day, mostly
for the European trade—New .Hamm Palla-

The Oldest Printer Dead.
Joseph Barber, the oldest printer in the
state, if not in the country, died in Bridge-
port Sunday afternoon in the ninety-fifth
year of his'age. -
Deceased was born in New Haven, April
16, 1788. . He was the son of Noah Barber,
Jr., slumber merchant of that city. He
learned the printer’s trade of Oliver Steele,
who was a publisher in New Haven. In De-
cember, 1812, he started the New Haven
Register, and when, as Mr. Barber has often
remarked of late years, “Democracy meant
somethlng." He continued to conduct the
Register until 1837, when be disposed of his
interest to Messrs. Osborn &. Baldwin, the
former being one of his apprentices, and who
is now passed away; he being admitted at
the tune of his majority as a partner.
After remaining out of business for two
years, Mr. Barber removed to Skaneatles. N.
Y., and purchased a farm. At the end of
three years he again moved. this time to
Syracuse, where he resumed the publication
of a paper, but not meeting with sufficient
success he gave it up and carried. on the job
prlntlng business several yeavzs. In May
1849, he removed to Bridgeport and contin-
ued job printing.
