a misstep on the back stOOp of her resi-

“Where did you get that hat?” was
the plagiarized salutation with which
J. Hour Wade greeted ex-‘Yarden
Coolidge yesterday, who strode with
dignity along Main street. beneath a
new and shiny stovepipc. “It’s one I
got on Christmas,” replied Coolidge,
“I had a dozen, of assorted sizes, giv-.
5311 me on that day.” .

While smoke was pouringfrom an
upper story of the Union club, New
York, Christmas day, and fiemen were
rushing around, the club men them-
selves were as impassive as became the
dignity of swells. Says the Herald:

“There was no excitement, and some of

the members in the reading room did
not even lay down their papers.”

Ullie Akerstrom’s opening night at
Music Hall was auspicious, a good-siz-
ed andience being in attendance and
Miss Akerstrom’s original play, “An—
nette, the Dancing Girl,” being pro-
duced in a creditable and satisfactory
manner. Miss Akerstrom has in no
way deteriorated as an attractive act-
ress and her support is good, notably
so the leading man, Harry F. Adams.

If the incoming Board of Bugesses
want to ensconce themselves in the
hearts of the people they will build
some sort of a wind-break on the
bridge so that when a nor’wester
comes scooting down the Grand Canal
it won’t blow off Doc. Collidge’s new
plug hat and take away the ladies’
breath. There should be an open
space of a foot or so at the bottom so
that if any of our leisure class should
use it for a sunning place they will not
suffer forthwith from cold feet.

The fire bugs still continue their
wicked and dastardly work in Danbury.
Last week two more barns were burned
and already several insurance com—
panies have withdrawn from the town,
and will take no more risks if these
rascals are not found and punished as
they deserve. A reward of $5,000 has
now been offered, in addition to that
already offered before, and the com-
munity are thoroughly in earnest in
their determination to discover if pos-
sible, these miscreants, and bring them
to justice. __ '

The meanest man has been heard
from again. He is probably a Buffalo
citizen, as the papers of that city allude
to him but do not locate him. Ashamed
to, no doubt. Two years ago Christ-
mas he purchased for his two‘year-old
daughter a little chair, painted red,
Last year he had the chair painted blue
and gave it to her as a brand new

 

 

Christmas gift. This year he had the‘

gilded over and again worked it off on
the little innocent. There is nothing
pathetic in this because the father is
not a poor man, but simply, as one
Buffalo paper says, “a horrid. old
screw.

ana lottery fraud is at its last gasp and

interests of all fraternal organizations,
called on the DAILY GAZETTE Saturday

Saturday evening Legrand Jennings
came to the bridge and was the subject
of much curiosity and admiration. The

~reason Of all this was that he was mis-

taken for “Steeple Charlie,” and Mr.
Andrew Tully was very busy pointing
Mr. J. out as the “daring climber," to
all with whom he came in contact. The
only reason that can be ascribed for
mistaking Mr. J. for “Steeple Charlie"
is that each has a blind eye.

On Christmas eve a goose, belonging
to Mr. Henry was stolen from the large
refrigerator in Con Howard’s saloon,
where it was placed the same evening
for safe keeping. The bird, however,
was not missed before the next morning,
and must have been taken while Mr.
Howard was rafiling Off poultry. Mr.
Howard, feeling that as the goose was
stolen from his premises, he ought to
make things right, has ordered a goose
to be taken to Mr. Henry’s residence
to-day.

Coroner Doten, of Bridgeport, was
summoned to Norwalk by Examiner
Burke to investigate the cause of the

‘ death of Oliver Davis, who 'died at the

Norwalk alms house, on Friday last,
at the age of 94 years, on representa-
tions that his death was attended with
suspiciousjcircumstances.' The Coroner
came, saw, and went back, first relieving
his mind'of the opinion that it was all
nonsense to summon him, as there was
nothing about the case that demanded
his Official attention or required an in-
vestigation. Davis had been sick for
some time and special nurses had been

engagedto attend him forweeks before
1 his death.

CharlesTLynch, of Bethel, was ar-
rested in Danbury Saturday night for
insulting women on lonely streets at
night. He had eluded the Officers for
some weeks and generally disguised
himself with a false beard which he tried
to throw away when arrested, but was
prevented by the officer. He was re-
leased on a bond of $1,500, which was
forfeited Monday morning.

The stars and stripes will probably
float hereafter from the center .Of the
Capitol on both fronts all the year

from the beginning. This practice will

Even the little children seem to take

The GAZETTE announces that hence-
forth it will be conducted ass non-par-
tisan paper. This declaration leaves
the Mechanics’ Journal the only real
republican paper in town. We teach
the doctrines and the principlesof that
party not only in the piping times of
victory and success, but even more dil-
igently in the days of defeat and ad-
versity, as at present, hoping for bet-

’Tis said of the recent death of a
West Norwalk woman that it was
hastened by'a lack of nourishment, and
that not until almost starved did the
woman let her neighbors know of her
situation, and then alas, it was too late.
She belonged to a well-known and re-
spected family Of that place, but
against the wishes of friends married a
man who since proved to be a thriftless
fellow.

Col. Daskam, our first selectman,was
presented with a bill of $25 against the
town by Dr. Burke, for professional
services. in a pauper case. Col. Das-
kam declined to authorize payment of
the bill, because Dr. Burke had acted
in the matter entirely on his own re-
Sponsibility and without authority from,
any town official, and for the further
reason that the town employs regularly
a physician for such cases, who is duly-
authorized and paid to look after
the town’s poor. Dr. Burke’s bill is
now in the hands Of Lawyer Gray, for
collection, and it is probable that a suit
will be brought against the town for its
payment.

That ever welcome home journal,
Good Housekeeping, published by Clark
W. Bryan & 00., at Springfield, makes
a new departure with the beginning of
the new year. It is changed from» a
semi-monthly to a monthly publication
and the January number appears in a
more convenient size and form, with

double the contents of the old shape,

and a superior excellence of quality
which cannot fail of making its read-
ers feel satisfied that it is a long time
between visitsas compared to its form-
er time table. Its bill of fare for J an-
uary is made up of a feast of good
things that will be sure not only to de-
light the conscientious housekeeper as
a “very present help,” but to interest,
instruct and amuse lovers of good lit-
erature and admirers of high-class pub-
lications, a product for which Clark W.
Bryan & Co. are noted the world over.

Sheriff. Toner Santa Claused away a
lot of his geese among his friends on
Christmas. A couple of the lucky re-
cipients think the Sheriff must have
thought it was the let of April. They
are Billy Banker, and Bowery George,
each of whom was given a well devel-
oped goose. When they came to com-
pare notes the day after Christmas,
they confided to each other, in
tones more full of sorrow than anger,
their private opinion of a goose that
would allow itself to be made a confed-
erate to a conspirator, be he sherifi or
gentleman, who deliberately and mali-
ciously would plan to April. fool a
couple of good fellows out of a Christ-
mas dinner; In their confidential in-
terview it came out that Bowery
George’s goose, after being boiled for
three hours, and baked, and kiln dried,
and roasted for a whole day, was as
impenetrable and self possessed as ever,
and refused to yield or relax a muscle,
even under the guillotine or the heads-
man’s axe, and George took his family
over to aneighbor’Sfor dinner. Bank-
er reported an experience with his
goose almost identical, and asseverated
with every evidence of deep conviction
and earnestness that he solemnly be-
lieved the goose had passed his days of
goslinghood long before Toner began
to learn his letters. ‘ ' '

 

The persistent misrepresentation Of
the number and effect of the changes

led the Manufacturer of Philadelphia,
to make a tabulated comparison of the
11231an with the Old in its issue of the
16th inst, which clearly shows: “First,
that no change of any kind has been
made with respect to about one-half
the items in the old law; second, that
of the changes made nearly one-half
decreased the duties, instead of in-
creasing them, and third, that in only
about one-fourth of the items have the
duties been advanced.” As an offset
to these advances, seventy-five articles
or groups of articles hitherto dutiable
have been placed on the free list.

CATHOLIC.
Sunday in the Catholic church was
observed as the feast of the Holy Inno-
cents. Thursday is the feast of the
Circumcision and a holy day of obliga-
tion. Mass will be said at the usual
hours. Although the feast falls on New
Year’s day the church has no special
prayers relative to the opening of the
civil year, as the ecclesiastical year be-
gins On the first Sunday in Advent. The
mass for New Year’s is entitled: “At
St. Mary’s Across the Tiber.” This is
the Oldest church :ifibuilt in Rome
to the honor of the Blessed Virgiin
It was built on the spot where, accord-
ing to an ancient tradition, a miraculous
well of oil flowed from the ground into
the Tiber on the first Christmas night.
The church was built in the third cen-
tury and was consecrated by Pope
Calistus. It is yet known by the name
of the fountain of oil.
