I' J. H. Shetland, a Sergeaut’bf’the‘Weather
Bureau, had an amusing experience last
week. .Hc ntarted from New York city
Thursday evening at nine o’clock on the
steamer Erastus Corning for New Haven.
Owingto the prevailing gale the boat’s pro-
gress was unusuelly slow, the next} morning
fiadingtbem only about thirty miles ‘froin
New York.'VThe boat soon became un.
manageable and the captain warmed to
turn back and steam towards the city.
,Wlien opposite Fort Schuyler, Mr. Shvrmau
becoming impatient at the delay, requested
that he be put on share which was done.
He then walked across the country to the
Westohcster station where, sfter‘ waiting for
some time hejfinallyeinbarked on one of ihe
B.
trains for New Haven, He thent'supposed
his trophies. to be .over, butfauother delay
awaited him. The freight train which was
derailed at Milford that evening deldyedsll
passenger travel'and he was obliged to wait
over three hours for the wreck .to be-clesred
away. When they had been accomplished
he re-embarked for New Haven and this
time succeeded in reaching his destination
without further delay. The time between
his start from New York city and his arrival
in New Haven, was just twenty-three hours.
Pretty slow traveleing that. ‘ - '

We are indebted to some one: unknown to.

for the South Norwalk Republican, for the
following allusions to the old Gazer-rs:
To the .editorsof the Norwalk Gszma,
then the only local newspaper in town, the
public owe a debt of gratitude, as it was one
of the principal factors in arousing the people
to the"'dang'ers which beset the government
duringgthe civil war. Not only wereits'
services appreciated here but its influence,
as an advocate of a vigorous policy’by the
government for the suppression of the rebell-
ion was feltin adjoining towns. Its editor-
in-chief, A. H. ByingtOn who wrote letters
from “the front" to the paper,keptfthe people
posted as to the movements of the loyal
troops and the whereabouts of our brave boys
fighting for the Meat the nation. Mothers
with letters of recommendation from him
were permitted to pass through the military
lines to visit their sons suffering in southern
hospitals from wounds and disease. His
deeds of kindness in behalf of Norwalk
soldiers end their friends, then and since
the close of the war are deserving of more
than ordinary praise. . - '7 ,
Govnnlson Women's recommendation of
an increase of the salary of the governor is
deserving not only of the consideration but
of the favorable action of the legislature.-
The time may come when the people of
COnnecticut Will want to electapoor

wealth as ours to pay its chief executive.
Little Rhode Island pays $4,000, while Ne-
veda, whose entire population is less than
that of the city of New ‘Haven, pays $6,000.
The average gubernatorial salary d by
the thirty~eight States of the niou is
$3,700, or nearly double that paid by Con-
necticut—N. H. Palladium.
Very good, but how is it that the first s-lg-
gestious comes from a democratic ineumbent,
when the very key-stone of democratic
principles is supposed to be economy .9 -

Thatcher, Primrose & West’s
.-. ’ ' Minstrels. _
Last evening a large audience made Mana-
ger Shaw’s face beam with . gladness, and
witnessed the first appearance in Detroit of
the most recent addition to the ranks of min-
strelsy, Thatcher, Primrose & West's. The
first part was notable for a handsome stage
fltetting, for the adoption of the English style
of introducing their vocal soloists to the au-
dience, standing close to the footlights, and
for the new feature of giving half of the first
part to Geo. Edwards and Hughey Daugherty
aszthe premier cud men, and the other half to
Geo. Thatcher and Geo.’ "Primrose. The or-
chestra, twelve instruments, was excelleng,
and the double quartette of vocalists was very
fine, the signing of Frank Homrd being
perhaps, the best feature. The alio began
with a remarkable contortion act by Dick
Rowe, which was followed by an artistic
conceit by Frank McNish. The idea presen-
ted was that of a fun-loving darkey enjoy-
ing himself alone, but in a momentary expec
tation of‘ being discovered by his overseer.
Never losing sight of the idea, __ r. McNish
danced and tumbled in grotesq e fashion.
The song and dance feature of the evening
was ordinary, and was giVen under the title
of “The Fat Men’s Ball." Hughey Dough-
erty delivered his inimitable stump speeches,
with a chorus of laughter by. the audience.
The Three Rankine produced a funny musi-
cal act, exhibiting considerable ability and
versatility. "The Dancing Gladiators" was
anoveland picturesque clog dance. Geo.
Thatcher, who makes fun more naturally
and with greater case than any other negro
comedian who has been seen in several sea-
sons, kept the audience holding their sides.
The performance ended with a comical sketch
sentitled “A Garden Party,” ,in which were

This is the contemplated railroad that was
so mysteriously ‘and elaborately surveyed

towns in the early Fall. We made earnest
efforts .at the time to gain all the reliable
information possible concerning the enter-
prise, and give our readers, as the result of

the building of some new railroad was hon-
estly intended, and that work upon it would
very soon be commenced. It was also
stated that it would be built under our Con-
necticut general railroad law, without any
Veflort to secure a special charter.’ The
wealth and character ofIthe above list of
subscribers is a sufficient guarantee that
there is to be no “foolishness" about this
attempt at a Penile]. . .
Hon. F.I W. Bruggerhofi, of Dar-ion, as
will be observed; is one of the d'reciors, and
his high personal character and business
sagacity would keep him from any visionary
onstock'jobbiug ,scheme. Mr. Brown is a
railroad man of practical experlence, and a
son of the L. B. Brown, owner of the college
where our last‘ina'rtyr President expired.
The President isalso ths_owner of the cot-
tsge adjoining Elberou. There is unques-
tionably financial strength and enterprising
ability enough in this combination to make
a certainty of our long-wished for but
elusive “Parallel.” 2 '
_ The line settled upon through Norwalk
runs down from near the Woodbury mansion
and across the little garden in front of the
Henry Kellogg place and the Union Co.’s
pond, in a line across the Amphitheatre and
out on to Main street through the door-yard
of Dr. Gregory, and thence on near Allen
Bett’s mill to Westport, where it will cross
the harbor near the turnpike bridge. There
is to be but a single drawbridge on the
entire line, and it is hoped that even that,
at the Housatonic lines, may be crossed by
an iron bridge so high and that vessel masts
may pass beneath. There is no doubt a great ;
deal behind all these elaborate preparations
that will serve as gratrt‘yingsurpriscs to the
public. It is claimed by the promoters that
the gradings will be contracted for just as
fast as the right of way can be secured and
the line assented to by the Railroad Com-
missioners. II I

with cast snow storms and but little bes'vy
weather as yet, and as a consequence her
penscnger list has continued daily above the
the winter average.
The fact that the president of the Second
National Bank was seen one morning last
week sweeping the snow from the front
steps of the banking house, is, in the minds
of depositors, a pretty good indication of its
soundness.
Theoity Boardof Relief held a meeting
last evening at the ofiice of Mr. J. M. Lay-
ton. They meet again on Friday.
A well-known citizen commenting on the

Sunday morning at the Baptist Tabernacle
Rev. Mr. Wolfenden took for his subject,
“An old truth for a new time," and :in the
evening, “Why we are ‘ Baptists." On this
theme he dilated at length, sustaining his
facts by arguments which seemed to be
almost unanswersble. Ten persons received
the sacrament of baptism.
After five weeks of earnest labor in this
city, Rev. Hartwell Pratt, the evangelist and
Mr. E. F. Miller the gospel singer, have one
to the important fieldof Albany. The tote

bilities of many sinners for whom. still,
“The lam holds out,” are flattering.

The following from saturday's Palladium,
we cordially indorse :
The advancement of Charles P. Woodbury
of Norwalk, to the position of clerk or the
senate was an act of deserved promotion.
Although but twenty-five years of age, Mr
Woodbury. is well fitted for his new duties,’
having discharged those of clerk and assis-
tant clerk in the house as well. The demo-
ncrate made practically no opposition to his
selection, although they could have crea-
ted a tie vote. Mr. Woodbury attorney of
Norwalk. and a graduate of Yale College,
class of ’78.

George R. Cowles was born at New Halt
ford, and is now fifty-six Eyears of age. He
was a member of the last case and also that
of 1881, and was re-elected to the present
General Assembly by a flattering vote, lesd~
ing his ticket handsomely. The compliment
is more marked as it is the first time in over
forty years that Norwalk has sent the same
representative for three consecutive terms.
Mr. Cowles gradusded at Williams’ college
n the class of 1845, and studied low in the
omce .of Chief Justice Butler. After two
years prnctice his health failed and he retired
for a time from active work. Subsequently
he engaged in the insurance'busiuess. In
1860 on the incorporation of the Norwalk In-
surance Company, he became its Secretary,
which position he has held since that time.
He has also been for six ears but-gees of the
borough of Norwalk.— [arlfold Poof.
