A Frlghtml Sltuntlon.
The sloop E. H. Phillipa anchored off
Five Mile River, Thursday night. and
the crew went to sleep. There was a ton
and a half of powder in the hold and
thirty barrels of kerosene. and on deck a
lot of damaged cotton in bales. The
crew being asleep the cotton in some
way took fire and burned merrily. No
one woke up; the cotton burned on and
scorched the deck under which the pow-
der lay. Just then the lookout of a
tanning vessel saw the flames. went on
yard and woke the crew in time to
pitch the (\itton overboard and save the
gunpowder and oil. not to Intention the
lives of the crew. The cotton was picked
up by Charles anndcs. and passed
through this city Monday forenoon on
two trucks.

that oysters are unfit for use in the

nonrly all rules and theories. an excep-
tion. Whilo it is uite true that oysters
in a state of fecuni ation are poor. weak.
and unpalatable. and that this state of

it in also true that the occurrence is ear-

A Sol-Ions Joke.
The Hour last week contained a hoax
that made unexpected trouble by alarm—
ing depositors in the Norwalk savings
banks and causing a number of them to
withdnvt‘ their accounts, and othersa
great deal of uneasiness. By a notice in
another column Mr. Maples promises to
make good on July lat, all interest on
accounts that were withdrawn because
of the article, which he very humbl
confirm to have been a silly one. t
undoubtedly was ill-advised, but as it
was without malicious intent. We do not
feel like giving our erriug brother the
awful “luving out." we have been ad-
vised to. It will cost him about $100 to
make good his promise.
The Gazette. however. has given a
column and a half to this matter. in
which to use a homely but ex rescive
phrase. it makes a perfect ass 0 itself.
According to its own statement no harm
of any noeount was done to any one. yet
it denounces the Hour. which it terms
an “alleged newspaper" in the most em~
phatic terms. It. really ought to thank
that paper for affording it an opportunity
for republishing the last reports of the
national banks without expense of brains
or muscle. and for again giving it a
chance to say that the Gazette bus for
its patrons the “respectable“ portion of
the community.
J. H. “fade was the author of the ar-
ticle. John isn‘t. a very bad fellow. He
is red-headed and chews tobacco. goes to
circusee and minstrel shows. is the father
of a bad boy. and a member of the Nep-
tune club. and owes us live cents .bor-
rowed money. but. for all (hose bad
qualities he has some good one: as an
offset. and we hope he will not be com-
pletelv crushed by the blow he has re-
ceived this week from the Gazette mush-
atufl’ed club.

Au Honorable Humorlut.
The Connecticut humorist. although
his sense of humor may be defective. is
obviously a just man. with a fine sense
of his obligation to his fellow-man who
is lean gifted than himself. This obser-
vation applies to the humorous editor of
tho Not-walk Hour. whose fnmtioua mf-
erenco to the failing of x and bank cauc-
cd a run on a bmk of avings. The pen-
itent humorist. surveying the trouble
which he has unwittingly caused. makes
ublic proclamation of his intention to
ndemnify the depositors of the Norwalk
Savings bank for all looses mulling froui
the ic ruined by his joke. If every
originator and fomentcr of a financial
panic were to make reparation as just as
this than would be fewer panics and
mom security in the world.—.\'. 3‘. Times
