Oyster Interests.
he oyster business is one of our largest
Norwalk industries, and ,the interests of the
oystermeu between Greenwich and Stoning-
ton on the shores of Long Island Sound,
have become so ,vast, that they require just
as careful and wisely guarded legislation for
their protection as any of the railroad or
other corporations of the State. The greatest
difiiculty gill the way of their proper protec-
tion, seems to get into the heads of the aver-
' age legislator, fairly sensible iideas based
uponvpractical experience in this great and
rapidly growing industry.Friday’s Palladium
states that the closing arguments before the
fisheries committee by Henry C. Rowe of
New Haven and Representative Bell of
Norwalkl were very spirited. The latter
among his many objections :claimed that the
proposed law concerning nslnbering oyster
boats would be in direct opposition to the
United States laws.
The bill limiting to {five years the time for
which natural oyster grounds may be desig-
nated was considered Thursday afternoon.
Captain Robbins of Norwalk, maintained that
the limit should not be reduced. A bed
might prove unproductive for a period of
four or five years and then ,oysters might be
produced. If the time should be reduced
the natural beds would be destroyed. A bed
would continue to be a natural oyster ground
' after the oysters were removed. He did not
believe there were 1,000,000 bushels of oys-
ters fromStonington to Greenwich, as had
been stated. There were probably over 300
people engaged in Fairfield county in work-
ing upon the natural beds and many of them
neared their livelihood from the industry.
The catch on Fridays was generally carried
home on Saturdays by the boatmen and
placed on their own grounds, while the catch
during the balance of the week was sold to
boatmen who came around for the purpose.
It was necessary to continue and encourage
the growth of seed on natural beds for the
benefit of the poorer people. Oysters taken
from the natural beds thrived excellently
when. transplanted and large oysters were
seldom found on natural beds. Oysters that
spawned had very few sets upon them. He
had been in the planting business since 1847.
Oysters grotvn in the mud often grew to be
fifteen inches long, while oysters attached to
rocks grew short and fat. He could market
oysters planted on a rocky bottom one year
sooner than oysters from the mud. The nat-
ural oysterjbeds which belonged to the public
should be protected. He believed that the
fish commissioners could have secured as
much information from Fairfield county as
from New Haven county.

Important Enterprise.
The old Thomas Benedict homestead prop-
erty which has so long remained an eye-sore
on our principal avenue, was last week sold by
thetLeGrsnd Lockwood heirsZto a quartette of
our most enterprising citizens—Messrs. Eben
Hill, E. J. Hill. J. W. Hyatt and J. A. 0s-
born—who have had the same mapped and
will at once proceed to its development and
sale as villa sites: Mr. E. J. Hill takes 105
front by 275 feet rear, next south of Mrs. Dr.
Lynes, then a forty-foot street is cut up to
Franklin avenue. Osborn takes the first lot
on the south corner of this new street, with
a frontage of 105 feet and 260 rear, and ex-
Warden Hyatt the remaining front lot be-
tween Osborn and Chichester, of 103% front
and 225 rear. Then a series of lots of 60
feet frontage are mapped out on either side
the new street to its upper end. Mr. E. J.
Hill will build a permanent residence on his
lot, as soon as he can satisfactorily dispose of
his present home. Mr. Osborn expects to
erect a fine residence on his lot during the
present year. Mr. Hyatt has his plans about
completed and will go to work at his resi—
dence at once. He has very sensibly deter-
mined to build of brick with terra cotta or-
namentation. There is a large deposit of
gravel in the line of the new street, just
what the Borough needs for highway repairs
and these owners propose :to give this to the
Board of Burgesses if they will at once lay
out the street and issue orders for the curb-
bing, guttering and side walking of the same.
Water and gas pipes will be laid at once
through the street, under a pledge of 6 per
cent. income therefrom. We wish we could
persuade the proprietors of the front lots to
make them an even 100 feet and throw the
fraction into the new street so as to increase
its width and greatly healify its appearance.
Eben Hill expects to erect several very tasty
cottages on the rear lots, which will rent to
our better class of citizens at from $12.50 to
$20 per month.
We rejoice at this new departure, not only
as a public and personal benefit, but because
it will still further bind together and cement
both ends of our beautiful town into the one
homogenious whole nature designed for it.

The Late Marshall Jewell-
The Travelers' Life Insurance Co., of
Hartford, have generously loaned us the like:
nose of the man whom everybody loves and
mourns, which appears on the outside of this
week’s Gazar'rn. All the vigorous life and
buoyant spirit of our dead friend, as well as
the radiant nobility of his frank, open nature,
speak from the facial lines of this remarkable
wood-cut, with marvelously life-like fidelity.
Many will look upon it with moistened eyes
and hearts moved with tenderest sympathy,
as upon the face of a dear friend all too soon
departed.
A. Gift to St. Paul.
Mr. J. W. Pinckney in behalf of his lately
deceased wife to whom it was aprecious
legacy, has .presented St. Paul's Parish of
this town through its warden and vestry, a
large and life-like portrait in oil of her grand-
father the late Hezekiah Jarvis, who for
' most of the years of his exceptionally long
life, was one of St. Paul's most worthy and
devoted members. He was also a brother of
Bishop Jarvis, the first Episcopal Bishop of
Connectictlt and passed away in his 93d year.
This portrait of the venerable patriarch is
to be placed in the Vestry Room of the.
church where those of its members or any
others interested, may view the features of
this good old servant of God.

Fire.
On’laturday evening about seven o'clock,
fin was discovered in one of the upper rooms
of Dr. Gregory’s residence on Main street.
The litre, which evidently started from a
gas light blowing against a window cur-
tain, was first discovered by a passer by,
who alarmed the family. Word was
telephoned to the bridge for the fire
department but before they could go into
service a message was sent that the fire was
out, the doctor’s family having extin-
guished it themselves by a timely and judic-
ious use of water. The window frame and
casing were badly burned and damage to
to the extent of $25 was done. It, was a
lucky escape from what might have been a
serious eonfiagration.

.. Church Meeting.
A meeting of the First Congregational
Church was held in the Lecture Room on
Wednesday evening last, to vote on the ques-
tion of calling the Rev. E. C. Ewing, of
Enfield, Mass... to become pastor of the
church. Rev. Homer N. Dunning was pres-
ent and acted as chairman. The meeting
being open for ’ibusiness. F. St. John Lock-
wood, Esq., proceeded to read a petition
which had been circulated and which con-
tained one hundr’ed and eighteen names re-
questing the calling of- the meeting. Dur-
ing the reading it was suggested that as
there had been a special committee appoint-
ed to present candidates for settlement, it
would be in order for the committee to re—
port.. As none of the committee volunteer-
ed to make a report in answer to the request,
a motion was made that in case of any dis-
agreement among the gentlemen composing
the committee, it need be no bar to themeet-
ing proceeding to ballot for a candidate.
Before the motion was put, Judge Wood-
ward ofiered a resolution that the meeting
proceed to ballot for the Rev. E. C. Ewing
to become pastor of the church. He also
prefaced his resolution with remarks highly
favorable to the candidate, and read a letter
from Prof. Emerson strongly commending
him. At the close of the remarks a ballot
was taken with the'following result: Year,
42; nays, 43, with four or five blanks.
Pending the somewhat spirited discussion, a
question-was raised by one of the deacons 'as
to whether matters were proceeding legally,
when Mr. Stuart responded that the meeting
was being conducted under the inspirations
of grace and-not of.law.-v Judge Woodward
quick and aptly retorted, “and with very
little grace at that.” It would seem that an
opportunity is yet likely to recur for this an-
cient and once united and influential church
to repair in some measure the unintentional
injustice done Rev. James Hubbeil, of Dan—
bury.
Late but Good.
this State has just reached us, and his too
comical to allow it to go. unpublished. The
Friday night previous to the election, a rati-
fication meeting had been sailed by the
democrats of Waterbury, and it was an-
nounced that it was to be a grand one, inas-
much as a previous one had proved a terrible
fizzle. Hon. S. S. Clix, of New York, was
billed as the “star" speaker, but he did not
appear, his place being filled by one Mayor
Grady, of the Empire City, and Mr. Scbuable,
he of the “peace meeting” notoriety in 1862.
Waterbury Democrats were disgusted with
this affair, audit was determined to get up a
meeting that would “ take the cake.” Thejcan-
didate for Governor was positively to be there
and a circular was sent to the “faithful” and
there were the names of the President and
VicesPresidents a score, printed in bold 'type.
The night arrived, and when the train from
New Haven came, a committee was in wait-
ing at the depot to escort the "great lights"
to the Scoville House. The committee found
but one of the “lights”——Judge Birdsall, of
Westport, Mr. Waller, with Mr. Parsons,
having gone to New Milford, and it was an-
nounced that the balance of the troup would
arrive over the New England Road, by
special train at nine o’clock that evening.
The party who came from New Haven
were escorted to the Hotel, where quite a
crowd had gathered to see the distinguished
gentlemen. and when the hack drew up in
front of the Scoviile House, the hull-boys
made a rush for the grip sacks of the party,
and the gentlemen in the Hotel crowded to-
Wards the entrance while Landlard Tremaine
made one bound from behind his desk and
pushed himself through the crowd until he
no the chairman of the reception committee
0: whom he irquirod, “Where is Waller ?”
“He did mt come,” War the reply, which
said reply caused the landlord to turn in dir-
gust, muttering something about “another
one of your dcvilsh sells.’-’ Now let it be
understood that Mr. Tremaine, is one of the
old “wheelhorses” of‘ the democracy, and
was advertized as a Vice-President of the
meeting, but this was too much and he gave
vent to his feelings. In the meantime, Judge
Blrdsail had been overlooked entirely, but he
was “roomcd” and at eight o'clock, was cs-
corted to the Hall. One gentleman, who
expected to see Waller, when told that Bird-
sall was to take his place, said it reminded
him of a trick some boys played on an old
farmer. They took a very fat sow pig out
of his pen one night, and substituted a
young pig but a week or two old. The old
man went to the pen in the morning and as
soon as he could speak, ripped out, “a d—d
big falling off in one night 1”
When the meeting opened, Mr. Carter, the
President, was not there, neither did he
show up during the entire evening. This
made a still further sourness on the part of
the “boys” who had “whooped up” the
meeting. But Mr. Waller arrived about nine
o‘clock and went at once to the hall, and on
his arrival he took the platform and went at
it in his own peculiar style. It so happened
that Litchfield was represented on the stage
by her genial democratic son, Harry Graves,
who had come down expressly to see his old
friend “Tom Waller.” Hardly had Waller
got warmed up, when Graves, filled with
Democratic enthusiasm, z“. s., Waterbury
"furniture varnish,” began to “talk out in
meeting,” and as Waller would make a point,
Graves would shout: “Give it 'eln, Tom.”
Then wfien Mr. Waller would turn to the
newspaper men on the stage and request that
some statement he made should be “put
down,” Graves would repeat it, and his re-
quest would not always be in the most re-
spectful language. Then when the speaker
would be glowiugly describing the great re-
forms that he was agoing to bring about, if
elected, Harry would advance from his seat,
and slapping Waller on the back, stroking
his long silvery beard at the same time
would cry out, “that’s so Tom." It annoyed
Waller, and after repeated requests, Graves
was induced to keep his seat, but he did not
fail to about, with the orator, “put that
down.” Finally, a son of Erin, in the rear
end of the hall got to shouting, “pot that
down," and the scene was too ludicrous to
admit of proper description. The meeting
broke up early and the speaker and his friends
returned to the hotel. Undoubtedly Gov.
Waller was very tired and worn out, but
some of those who overheard him request
Editor Parsons to "‘get rid ,of that man,”
(meaning Birdsall), “as I have heard enough
of the prospects in New York," thought it
was not treating the Judge just right. It
may be that the Judge had failed to appre-
ciate the annoyance that Harry Graves had
caused Mr. Waller, and insisted upon giving
the candidate cheering news from the Empir'e
State, still it was not fair to retire to their'
oom so unceremoniously.
Speaking of “Sunset” Cox, reminds us of
a good joke on that gentleman. Some years
ago, when the Hon. S. W. Kellogg, of Water-
bury, represented the New Haven district in
Congress, he had a "‘go around" with Cox in
Congress, and the latter threatened to get
even with Kellogg, who had come out ahead,
by coming into his district and speaking
against him. Thefoliowing' Fall,Kellogg was
a candidate for re-election and Cox came into
our State and made two ‘or three speeches,
one of them in New Britain, where he took
occasion to “pitch into" Kellogg in his finest
style, but he was much disgusted after the
meeting when he learned that he was not in
Kellogg’s district.
A Mystery.
The burning to death of two aged women
in their beds and with their dwelling, in
East Hartford, last week, recalls thesimilar
horror of the undoubted murder and crema-
tion of Mrs.:',Selleck in the town of New
Canaan, some years since.
:5:
You have driven horses 3 great deal, haven't
you, George, dear?" said a girlish voice from
the depths of a 0350 sealskin sack last night.
“Oh, yes." replied George, chirping to his
trortcr ; “ I flatter myself that I can handle a
horse about as well as the next one.” “Do,
you think you could drive with one hand
without any danger of the horse running
away?” came softly through the night air.
An untold story of last Fall's Campaign in ‘
Railroad News.
The two Parallel syndicates seem just now
to be in an almost inextricable muddle. The
Hartford d7 Harlem at first, boasted their
intention of going ahead and building their
new road without bothering the Legislature
for special favors,, under the ample provis-
ions of our general railroad law. But now
there is a hot tussle going on before the
Legislative Railroad Committee, apparently
to get the better of the Olmstead interests.
It is every wet day when our friend Olms-.
tead is found napping, and we venture to
predict that if such is the purpose of the
Hartford & Harlem they will fai'. In an
interview with Mr: Olmstcad he assures us
that his company will go ahead and com.
mencc to build their road just as soon as the
Commissioners will settle upon a few neces-
sary preliminaries. We sincerely hope that
this is true, for the people are tired and sick
and disgusted, with the speculations, andE
false promises made to them for so many
years back. '
The Railroad Commissioners met' at Bart-
lett’s City Hotel, Friday, and listened to
complaints of our citizens, many of whom
were present. Mr. Henry I. Hoyt,- whose
property is more seriously injured than al-
most any one clse in town, was promised a
full hearing at a future time. Nothing defi-
nite was concluded, when the commissioners
adjourned to meet next Tuesday at John S.
Sevmour's law‘office over the Fairficld County
Nationhl Bank. I ,
The Hartford 85 Harlem engineers were
engaged yesterday in re-running'their‘ line
across the Daubury track, West Main and
Main streets. They have now shifted their
stakes so as to out through the little house
of A. Newcomb on West Main street, run—
ning between the houses of Mrs. Dr. Brown
and Mrs. E. P. Weed, thence crossing Main
street and passing through the home lot of
Jacob Weeks. This change obviates the de-
struction of much valuable improved proper-
ty’ m ,
An East Nor-walk Station.
Vice President Reed of the Consolidated
road upon, being approached‘last week by a
gentleman of |lhis town in reference to the
building of a station on the above road on
the east side of the draw bridge. in reply to
an interrogation, said he was decidedly in
favor of such action and would give the
matter his early attention. The necessity
for such a station is at once apparent. From
a comparatively uninhabited agricultural
section East Norwalk has, in a few short
years, sprung up into a thickly populated
and prosperous community. It is ,still
growing, and its rapid development; loudly
demands such an accommodation as has been
suggested. It would be as easy for trains
coming from the cast to stop at a station as
at the draw-bridges as they now do and
their doing so would be a great convenience
to people already located there and serve to
induce others to locate there who now hesi-
tatc only because of the distance from their
work. As railroads are built and run for
their own profit, if not the accommodation
of the public, we have no doubt but that we
shall soon see a station located in that section.

ters, informs us that. the above is not a very
dangerous combination. .

New Bridge.
The town meeting called for the purpose,
on Thursday, voted $25,500 for the construc-
tion of a new bridge with an iron draw across
the harbor at South Norwalk. This im-
provement we are told by those who odght
to know, is an absolute necessity and we are
glad to know that not asinglc “uptown”
vote was cast in opposition to such need.
But now we implore our city friends to have
their enterprising municipality at once lay
out Washington street in a. straight line
to the water's edge and then callaiown
meeting to change the west abutment of the
bridge so as to open street and bridge toa
straight and full view from the railroad
depot to the east shore ofthe harbor. No
town meeting would object to so change the
west end of the bridge and it will be a dis-
grace to erect a permanent structure with
the west end coming out as the present one
was permitted to do.
Was‘lt Crowther ‘2 '
The following appeared in the New York
Tribune of Sunday : “Superintendent Wall-
ing yesterday received a letter from George
Smith of Winnipauk, who wrote that he had
noticed in the New York newspapers a par-
-tial description of a young man who on
Sunday morning last, jumped from pier No.
55, East River, and was drowned. The de-
scription corresponded with that’ of Henry
Crowther, who recently escaped from the
insane asylum at Middletown. The body of
the young man has not been recovered."
' Relics of the Past.
In clearing out an old GAZETTE desk,
several interesting relics of athe past were
upheaved. One was a bill for advertising in
the Farmer sent by Pomcroy and Morse in
1859, or some two years prior to Morse’s sud-
den departure for the southern confederacy.
An application for a marriage certificate by
one of our leading merchants is another relic
and a letter dated 'May 9, 1859, written by
Cashier R. G. Craufurd tendering his
resignation as foreman of Phoenix Engine
Co. No. 1, is still another.

Interesting Relic of the War.

bonsut the lime of the surrender of Lee’s
army at Appomatox. April 9th,‘:1805, whose
duty it was to issue rations to the Confeder-
ate forces, is found the following original
order:
Ornrcn CH. COM. A. N. Va.,1
APRIL 10, ’65, 6 r. M.)
Asst. Adjt.—Gen'l, Gen’l Gibbons’ com-
mand. U. S
Sir—Col. Morgan, chf. c. s., informed me
this morning that‘I could, this evening, learn
from you the prospect for food for the Army

and aportion of them were without bread.
It will require 35,000 rations per day for all
to whom rations are issued.

The fact that thirty-jive thousand rations
per day were officially called for the first

clearly prove the falsity of the claim now
being made that Lee had but 8,000 men left,
at that time, and could resist no longer. This

longs to Mr. E. J .Hill, to whom we are in-
debted for it. ‘ .

Masons. EDITORS.—Wlll you kindly allow
us space in your paper of next week to men'-
tion the Industrial school. ' '
Notwithstanding the many hindrances to
be met in any such enterprises, the ladies of
.the Industrial School still continue the good
work begun in November last. Meetings
have been held every Saturday afternoon.
The attendance has been fair considering the
inclemency of the weather, and the distance
many of the children have to come. The
interest is unabated as one can easily see by
the eager faces and industrious hands of the
little ones. The school is a Union one. Any
one may become an honorary member by
contributing the sum of 25 cents. This goes
to supply material for clothing, etc., which‘
is made in the school. We would call'the
attention of all to this good work. ‘ '

It is always a special pleasure to speak in
commendation of our worthy manufacturing
industries. and having had a most gratifying
experience with the above firm, we are only
too glad to speak their praise. In our exten-
sive overhaul and rebuilding of the Gazn'r'ra's
mechanical department, these deft workers
in wood made all our 'doors, window frames,
sash, shutters and modldings, including the
front to our new street office, and not only
was all our work exceedingly well done, but
it was done promptly and as agreed and when
promised. This is rare praise 'for any me-
chanical establishment, but when deservedly
applied to one as driven with work as the
above hive of industry is, it means energy,
organization and executive capacity of a very
high order. The most remarkable feature of
our experience is the last to be stated. Their
bill, unlike. any other, was less instead of
more than we expected.

“Horse car conductors',” says a spiteful
writer, “should always be chosen with a view
to personal courage, because 'None but the
brave deserve the fare.’ ” It is pre-eminently
true that “None but meritorious preparations
deserve success." Everybody knows the
nature and effects of Catarrh. It is one of
the most loathsome maladies, and has been
pronounced incurable. Ely’s Cream Balm
may be described as a gigantic tidal wave
which has submerged that theory. This
Balm is a pleasant, popular, pcl‘ft‘ci prepara-
tion, and a certain cure for Catarrh. It is
not aliquid or snuff, and is easily applied.
“I had catarrh for fifteen years,” said O. Z.
Warren, Rutland, Vt., “with distressing
pains over my ,eyes, gradually the disease
worked down upon my lungs. Ely’s Cream
Balm cured me." All who use it to speak in
the same grateful strain. 2tl2 '
