Norwalk Gazette. Tuscany, April 24, 1883. Another Ancient band-Mark ' Gone. The ruthless hand of improvement, (and of Frank Leonard), tore down and away the old Thomas Benedict place last week. This was. the oldest tenement left on the the west side of our town and was the birthplace and early home of the venerable Thomas Benedict of the East Norwalk Tide Mill, as well as his sister Catharine. At the time Norwalk was raided by the British red-coats and the town burned by order of Gen. Tyron, this house was used as a hospital for the English troops wounded by the careless shooting of our colonial ancestors. Most of our older resi- dents will remember the "Tommy Benedict Cider Mill,” which fronted on the highway to the north of the dwelling. The late Aunt Phoebe Comstock used to delight to narrate to our juvenile ears the story of her riding down to Norwalk, when a little girl, on a pillion behind their faithful old colored ser- vant O'-ne, to see General Washington, who while enrouta for Boston, had stayed over night in the house owned and occupied in later years by Mr. Horace Tyler, and located a little south of the First M. E. Church. That when she got down near the “Tommy Benedict Cider Mill," on her way to Old Well, she met General Washington’s four horse coach with outriders, and that when the “Father of his country" got opposite the mill he ordered a- bait and asked if they would bring him a drink of sweet cider they had just then commenced to make. Upon this request one of Mr. Benedict's men, said Aunt Phoebe, came running down to the road with a noggin holding about a gallon and running over full of cider, and General Washington reached out of his coach and raised the heavy wooden vessel to his lips and 'took a long and hearty drink of Uncle Tommy's new cider, handing the tankard back with a gracious bow and“thank you sir. " The General and his party proceeded on through the bridge followed by a large num- ber of men, women and children, all anxious to show him the greatest respect possible as well as to gratify their curiosity. She used to wind up her enthusiastic story always by the statement of her disappointment that General Washington was nothing but a man after all, and no bigger than her own father. m Legislature. The heavy Railroad business of the Legis- lature being concluded, that august body, will in all probability, adjourn sine die the present week. The Legislature and the Courts have prac- tically left our two rival Parallels in just about the same situation they were in before they met and eitheilor both can go to workand grade its track and lay its rails just as soon as money can be found to pay the cost. As we have before said, the company that first breaks ground, will belthe one that will win the popular favor and confidence, be it Olm- stead or Hartford and Harlem. The Hart- ford press broadly intimates that still a third N. Y. 85 Boston R. R. enterprise is likely to show signs of life. Well, the more the mer- rier, but the people impatiently want some- thing besides a newspaper railroad, and we believe one will come. m Flames in the Forest on Long Island. . ' The .annual spring forest fires have begun on Long Island. During the week several thousand acres ofwild land (scrub oak), lying on the south and north sides of theLong Island Railroad, between Deer Park and North Comac, have been burned over, filling the villages ‘with smoke and making neces- sary hard work on the part of the people living in the vicinity to. prevent the fires from reaching their houses. Yesterday a fire started in the woods north of the Port Jefferson branch of the Long Island Rail- road, between Setauket and Port Jefferson, and burned over twenty acres of standing wood before it was extinguished. The fires are said to have originated from carelessness in burning brush. . m . The Evening Post “Annual.” A volume of biographical sketches with portraits of state officers, representatives in congress, governor’s staff, senators and mem- bers of the general assembly of the State of Connecticut, published by the Evening Post, Hartford, is before us. It is a. work of merit. and cannot fail to be interesting to any fortunate enough to obtain a copy. A sketch of the Capitol Building, diagrams of Senate Chamber and Hall of Representatives with names of this year’s, occupants, also the facts briefly stated of every member, form a valuable state political encyclopedia, and coupled with handsome press work makes a beautiful volume. The Post is as enterpris- ing as it is generous and we wish it a con- tinuance of its past grand success. @ The Gazette Job Office The Gazerrk J on PRINTING DEPARTMENT has received an addition of more than half a ton of new type,embracing every new variety and style required for the best possible ex- ecution of the best work.

The Iron Steamboat Company is under- stood to have contracted the past week to run their boats during the coming summer to the Iron Piers at Coney Island and also to Norton's Point, which is a new and addi- tional landing, andzdesidned to be made one of the most attractive points on the ocean washed island. A natural query to the opaque Norwalk mind, is how is the iron line going to continue its runs to Wilson Point with all this New York business on its hands? #5 Shad Plentlf'ul and Excellent. The warm weather of the last few days says the New York Sun, has started a large run of shad up the bay, and the fishermen have been busy day and night securing heavy hauls. The fish are excellent in quality, as the backward spring~kept them long in salt water. From now until the middle of May the shad steadily increase in quantity and quality, being in the finest condition for cat- ing when the price is the cheapest. Floun. ders are also becoming quite plentiful, and are caught in great numbersin the shad nets. m Rare old Age. Mrs. Clarissa Raymond, residing with her daughter, the venerable Mrs. Nathan Com- stock of Wilton, reaches the remarkable age of one hundred and one years, to—morrow, Wednesday, the 25th. An interesting sketch of her, from the lively pen of our corres- pondent “Paul” will be found on today’s outside. m Painful Accident. John Ross, an employee at the Winnipauk upper mills was accidentally knocked off his balance while sitting on a sc’antling :horse and falling over backwards, broke his collar bone. The fracture was set and is being cared for by Dr. Baldwin and the sufferer is doing reasonably well. —__——__—-.___.___.—_- . In accordance with the proclamation of the Grand Master of the State OurBrother’s Lodge I. 0. O. R, will hold a meeting in the lodge room on Thursday evening to celebrate the 64th anniversary of the founding of the order in this country. The Hartford and Harlem. The principal railroad parallel contest says the Palladium at Hartford this year has been over the question whether the so-cailed Hart- ford and Harlem company should have a special charter which would give it a decided advantage over the original parallel known as the Olmstead, or Connecticut and Air Line company. The hearing before the commit- tee was cut short and the special charter was reported to the house without reccommcnda- tion. The large attendance before the house yesterday showed the interest felt bv the rival corporations. The house first passed a resolution authorizing a new layout in New Britain, but this had not been opposed by either the Consolidated or Air Line railroad companies. By a blunder of parliamentary tactics the house at first put itself in a posi- tion where the senate could not act fora week on even the New Britain amendment. The .correct ruling of Speaker Pine, and a clean explanation of the blunder by Mr. Lockwood, prepared the way for a reconsid- eration, and when a vote was finally taken upon the special charter it was indefinitely postponed by a very decided majority. The senate will doubtless coacur with the house. By this action the legislature will give neither of the rival parallel companies a preference over‘ the other by special legisla- tion, leaving them to settle their respective rights under the general railroad law before the commissioners and the courts. The Palladium last year favored the so-cailed Jewell charter, which provided for the con- struction of a railroad on the line of the Olmstead survey, and easterly from New Haven through Essex and Norwich. The friends of that road are now trying to con- struct that road under the amended general railroad law. The passage of a special charter for theHartford and Harlem would have seriously injured the Connecticut and Air Line in which Connecticut capital has been invested, and the construction of the Hartford and Harlem undera special charter, over its survey, would destroy all chances of the construction of a new road between New Haven, Essex and Norwich. m The New York Evening Post‘s book re- viewer in an able treatise on Lalor's Cyclopedia of Polctical science, has :the following con- cerning our talented fellow townsmen :— ' Mr. Alexander Johnston, to whom. has been assigned the department.of Political History of the United States, contributes nearly onethird of the volume. It is impos- sible to speak too highly of the painstaking carefulness of Mr. Johnston’s work. His sense of proportion is excellent, and his ac- curacy even in small matters remarkable. The more important articles from his pen are those on Electoral Commission, Electoral System, Embargo, Federal Party, Citizen Genet, Habeas Corpus, Jay’s Treaty, Ken- tucky and Virginia Resolutions, and Nulli- fication. There is scarcely any subject cou- nectegl with the political history of the United States, coming within alphabetical range of the volume, which is not treated with sufilcient fulness for the ordinary needs of the professional men, while. the authorities for fuller investigation are pointed out to the student. 0 m: A few years ago seventy-five dollars was considered a large price to be paid for a cow. Now, a calf a week old, if of good blood, brings easily a hundred dollars. Mr. Isaac G. Smith, of Milford, well known here, lately sold an Aldcrney cow for $650. Mr..A. 0. Lewis. of Stratford,' has for two or three years been improving the quality of his stock by introducing thoroughbred Aldcrney, regis- tered blood. Thelfarmers who thought the ventureafoolish one, now begin to open their eyes, when calves from his stock bring what seems to them such enormous prices. It is nothing uncommon for Mr. Alexander Lev- crty, of this city, to get a much larger price than the above for his celebrated Signal stock—Bridgeport Standard. m Senator Jones of Nevada has a little propcr~ ty left yet, in spite of his reverses,and is in no immediate danger of the poorhouse. Accord- ing to aNew York interviewer, the senator’s winegrowing and mining interests on the Pacific coast are larger and more solidly pros- perous than ever; he employs over 750 men in Nevada and California; he has in Alaska a gold mine with a vein of 750 feet thick and he has no end of mining interests in New Mexico and Arizona. “I have had many ups and downs," he said to the interviewer, “I have made and lost millions. But nothing will change my nature. I like to see the money do its work, and nothing gives me more satisfaction than to see my money help somebody else to make some, too. . m The following note, unsigned, says the’ Farmer, has 'just been received by a well- known citizen of Greenwich, Conn. “Mr. Banks: Me and another boy was going through your orchard one night last year and we picked some of your watcrmelons and ate them. Here’s 75 cents to pay for them.” The first thought suggested.) by such a con- fession is that the millennium has suddenly, and without warning descended upon Green- wich. But further reflection dissipates that pleasing illusion. It is not probable that since the world began a boy was ever brought to the point:of acknowledging that it is a sin to steal melons. Occasionally after eating what he has stolen a boy may have felt a private and personal remorse knawing at his stomach, but he was never known to proclaim it,.and the idea of his making restitution is utterly absurd. It is evident that “me and another boy” are feigning repentance for a specific purpose. Mr. Banks is a cashier and if he is as shrewd as a man in his position ought to be he will keep extra close watch of his melon patch during the coming summer. Mr. Wm. G. Thomas, wife and daughter, of Albany, N. Y., are stopping at the Ma— hackemo, for a few days, will probably re- turn about the first of May, and to remain there until the alterations are completed in his late father’s house on East avenue, bor- ough. Mr. Thomas is now having the house re—modeled for his future summer residence.

On Sunday Dr. and Mrs. Hitchcock were called uponto mourn the loss of their infant son Dexter Brockway,wh0 died of'covulsions, aged four months. In the loss of children a great void is made in our homes and hearts. No matter .how young, they are such potent bonds of love and kindred happiness that when they die there sccms to be a great yearning blank left in the parents' hearts. Only God can heal that wound, and the fond parents of this most lovely child will find in Him the solace they‘so sorely need. Spring shall come again, and with it the soft breezes of the South and the perfumed beds of violets and the melodious praises of the birds, and with it, too, Will come nature’s great lesson Over this new grave a mother will plant roses and a father will But high over that grave thc’ angels of God have already wel- comed to its home in Paradise a shining spirit, and a voice attuned to celestial hur- mony has already joined in the chorus “Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” The fond parents have the earnest sympathy of all our hearts and may He who gave and who has taken away,heal their grief- riven hearts and fill their souls with His blessed, healing, Heavenly balm. “an” warm. The surviving members of the “Old Seven- teenth" Regiment will regret to learn of the death of “Lew" Ward," of 00. 0, who served in the Pioneer Corps. He was form- erly of Danbury, but had recently removed to Colorado, where he died about ten days ago. . m . It Wasn’t John. A good story comes to us from upper Wilton. A staid farmer's wife knowing her good husband’s habit of ‘pattering” about the house during the dull winter season, thought she heard him tumbling over the cider casks, pickle jars and soap grease tubs, in her cellar. The noise getting more mixed up as well as prolonged, she opened the cellar door and called out “John Henry—you, John Henry—what in the world are you doing down there i" No response, save a deep gutters] grunt answered to the impatient in quiry. “Another demand for an explanation was made, when a tin pail was‘ sent rattling across the cellar bottom as the only reply. This was more than the patient wife could bear and calling out “John Henry, have you gone crazy?" she sped down the steps to be greeted by the upturned snout of the family porker which had broken from its pen and tumbled itself down the outside stairs and had been uprooting the contents of the cellar in a most promiscuous manner. A scream soon brought John Henry from th'e barn and when the terrified wife. confessed in her alarm that she had heard the brute for the last half hour, but supposed it to be her dear “hubby," that unfeeling wretch snappishly snarled back, “Did you think your husband had three inch bristles all over his back? But the common ruin wrought by the swine soon made man and wife friends again and Mr. sheet was soon hoisted out the cellar and restored to his more appropriate sty. m Defrauding Pensioners. The Commissioner of Pensions has issued a circular stating that numerous complaints have reached his ofiice that unscrupulous persons are traveling through the country representing themselves as pension ofiice agents and defrauding pensioners and appli- cants for pensions by charging certain fees for services. Commissioner Dudley informs the public in his circular that no special ex- aminer or other person employed by the pension ofiice is authorized to receive money either as a fee or expenses in any manner and that each special examiner of the pension office is provided with, a certificate over the signature of the commissioner of pensions whose signature is duly verified by the sec- retary of the interior showing that the ex- aminer has been regularly detailed by the commissioner from the clerical force of the pension ofilce, therefore if any person in the absence of such :authority should represent that he is a special examiner of the pension office, or shall demand or obtain money under any pretence whatever, he may safely be set down as a fraud or swiudier. Com- missioner Dudley states that it is his desire that prompt and vigorous measures be taken to bring these offenders to justice, and says that in order that this class of impostors may be published as widely as possible, each of these defrauding claimants or pensioners should be reported by some responsible per- son with a full :description of the impostor to the commissioner of pensions, who will at once instruct the special examiners to give the public proper warning. m SOCRATES:—-A translation of the Apology, Crito. and parts of the Phredo; with an Intro- duction_by Prof. W.

This is the attempt of an anonymous trans- later to bring before the public at large a great and striking figure whose name is fam- iliar to all, but of whose real character and teachings comparatively little is known. Yet in no instance could the faithful study of these fail to be most interesting and profit- able. For while his personal chai‘arcter is perhaps the most unique and closely defined which history' has handed down to us, his teachings are undoubtedly among the noblest contributions to human thought. His belief in hope of immortality, his choice of wisdom above all earthly goods, his ascetic, self- denying life, his conviction that man must be true to the highest ideal, even when the instinct of self-preservation would dictate a” deviation therefrom, his calm assertion of his own dignity, his vindication of his own power to rise superior oVer all obstacles even death itsalfwall proclaim him a great teacher and examples man'who was true to the best. He knew how striking his account in the thdo of his preparation for death, folding as it were his mortality around him and then calmly watching his own symptoms of dis- solution, keeping his sorrowing friends, who were around him up to his own high mark of philosophic composure and faith in the Divine, thus proving by his deeds in the in; cvitable hour, the sincerity of his belief in his favorite dictum, “There can be no evil befall a good man whether alive or dead." It is instructive and inspiring to study such a character. In view of it the earnest observer cannot fail to wonder that a spirit so atriking- ’ ly and symmetrically christain, should develop 'and impress itself upon the ages so long before the dawn of the christian era. Surely his example is testimony con- current with revelation itself that God does not leave himself without a witness in human lives. It Were well if all anti- christian philosophy werc submitted in the truth-seeking spirit, to the touch-stone of the life and teachings of the great QGrecian Sage.

A sort of medical and legal inspection of flagman Copperthwaite's flower garden, op- posite the depot, was made Friday, by Dr. Nolan and lawyer J. B. Hurlbutt. The fiagman has whitewashed the picket fence, .and placarded it “Please do not lean against, etc." Dr. Longnecktr survived his attempt at suicide by taking catholic acid, and departed for New Y0! k. He took with him an inside burning sensation, which doubtless reminded him of his silly act for many days. The wound the season, and one of the grandest this city has seen for many a day was Douglass Fowler Post Camp Fire at Music Hall, Tuesday evening. The attend- ance amounted to a crush, but bearable and enjoyable to all that by reason of the fact that the best people in the city and sur- rounding county took part in it. The hall was decorated with American flags, and the general arrangement of the hall was calcu- lated to represent a military camp, a real tout, such as soldiers use on the field being introduced” Abrass band supplied music, giving in grand style, “rally ’round the flag” and “marching through Georgia," after the, guests were seated ut the fine tables,to assist in washing down the rations consisting of baked beans, biscuit, hardtack and sand- wiches. Assistant Inspector. W. S. Knapp was assigned to duty by Commodore Ed- .munds as master of ceremonies, and gaily did that official execute the trust. The camp fire burned gloriously thoughout. the evening. Mayor Cunningham, several ex-mayors, and other distinguished, citizens, not forgetting the ladies, drew near to enjoy its social warmth. Before the embers were raked together and the banquctcrs separated, very early chantileers were announcing the peep 0’ day for Wednesday. You may set your watch by the limited express conductor Alex. Cowan, which ar- rives daily from New York at 5:29 p. m. anor says, no new Sundav trains will be, placed on the Consolidated road May 0. It is not false praise to say the city, and indeed the borough never had _a more faithful and obligiug hackmau than Mr. Charles Finch, pleasantly known as “Pinkey.” Yes- terday he came‘out prepared for the season and madea sensation at the depot with a hack elegantly painted, harness spic span new, and two'splendid horses. Friday night some joker took the sign in- scribed “Pianos tuned," from the new music store opposite the depot, and placed it in front of Frank Byxbee’s saloon. Next morning music with discordant notes was heard in that region. Friday evening next at the house 'of Mrs.~ A. J. Crofut, on West avenue, the ladies of the Baptist Tabernacle will hold a fair, give a musical entertainment and supper with the object of raising funds for the benefit of the church. The great Knox, with commendable wis- dom comes to this city to get hats made for the 2,400 policemen in New York city, and J. A. Volk do 00., with whom ex-Mayor Swartz is interested, are filling the order. Saturday the Stars played base ball with the Swartz nine. As was to be expected the “R. H." makers won. Capt. Samuel Clark has returned from California via Isthmus, improved in health. He reports smooth water all the way, quick time, glad to get home again. The disappearance of nine barrels of baked beans during the Douglas Fowler Post camp fire Tuesday night has caused a bean corner here, and dealers are looking to Danbury and the borough for a fresh supply. S. W. Gregory has the model livery stable: complete in every part and replete with all modern appliances. m The North American.

The Rev. William Kirkus makes a vigorous charge upon the papal system in an article entitled, “The Disintegration of Romanism.” In “Emerson and Carlyle,” Edwin P. Whip- ple discourses upon the strangely diverse mental and moral characteristics of those two great thinkers. Prof. Felix Adler offers “A Secular View of Moral Training.” “Com- munism in America,” by Prof. Alexander Winchell, gives very forcible expression to 'the; apprehensions of those pessimistic obser- vers of the tread of events in this country who think that they see in our political and social developmentall the signs of impend- ing national decay. The other articles are “Affinities of Buddhism and Christianity,” by the Rev. Dr. James Freeman Clarke; “Woman as an Inventor,” by Matilda Joslyn Gage; “College Endowments," by Rossiter Johnson; and “Extradition," by A. G. Sedg— wick.

The pistol which a Cincinnati woman said was the one with which her husband threat- ened to shoot her proved to be a beer faucet. ‘ ”—0—“ A Miss Buchanan, once rallying a brave soldier on his courage, said : “Now, Captain Johnson, do you really mean to tell me you can walk up to the cannon’s mouth without fear?” “Yes," was the prompt reply, “or a Buchanan's either,” and he did it. It maylhe safely assumed that the lady, to whom the gallant Captain thus paid his respects, hadn’t the catarrh. This malady is as loathsome as it is painful. It’s cure has heretofore been considered.impossible. Ely’s Cream Balm, however, never fails to cure it. Mr. Nathan chley, with E. F.

My eyes, too, can stand strong light.” This balm is a marvel of fragrance, and curative powers —is not a liquid or snuff, and is easily a - plied. . 2tlli _____.._..____ That’s right; take down your stove and put on your thin fianncls this month, Give the poor undertaker a chance—Burlington Hawkeye. _—.____ LIST OF PATENTS Issncufrom the United States Patent Office for the week ending, April 17th, 1883, for the State of Connecticut. furnished us from the office of John E.
