The Fraternal News Seems to Fill a Long/—
Felt Want.
The Fraternal News, the monthly
paper devoted to the interests of the
secret societies, of which the Post
spoke briefly on Wednesday, meets
with a most flattering reception. That
there is a field for such an enterprise
here where secret societies are so' nu-
merous, cannot be questioned, and the
pretty little monthly seems likely to
occupy the field completely and credit—
ably. Colonel Darwin C. Pavey, the
editor, is just the man to make a suc-
' cess of it. He plans to graft upon it
new household and other features, un-
til it shall become worthy of a place in
every home, a sort of Good Housekeep-
ing, yet keeping its duty to the frater-
nities well in sight. The many friends
of the little paper and its editor wish it
all success—[Hartford Post.

President Harrison has again turned

caused by Justice Matthews’ death.
It is understood that the other justices
of the court were consulted and warm—

Daily Gazette Just Booming.
10,000 Copies Up to Date !
THAT ONE CENT SWEEPS THE
FIELD.
Up to date we have sold and distri-
buted broadcast 10,000 copies of the
DAILY GAZETTE! Every one has re-
ceived it with marked favor as every-
one fecls that upper Norwalk is entitl-
ed to and should have, something a
little more brisk and modern than the'
slow-going old-time Weekly. ' Such a
thorough newspaper spread was never
attempted 01' accomplished in N orwalk
before, and advertisers have “caught
on” to the fact that the DAILY GAZETTE
is the best Advertising Medium, for
why—It is the cheapest. ONE CENT a
copy and ONE CENT a word and ONE
CENT a line wins the victory.
Q.————-‘-'—-‘-
SOUTH NOR lVALIf.
The W. R. C. have prepared an unu-'
sually interesting programme for their
next public entertainment, to be given
during the last week in January.
A merry sleighing party, comprising
a score or more of turnouts, passed
over the carriage bridge headed east-
ward, last evening, and the vigorous
notes of numerous fish horns, mingled
withthe silvery jingle of the bells re-
minded us of the sweet harmony pro-
duced in “days of Auld Lang Syne”
by the Calithumpian bands who were
wont to pay their musical respects to
new 1y ma1ried ’couples.
A petition memorializing the Presi-
dent and Congress to equalize the
bounties paid the soldiers during the
war, is being circulated among the vet-
erans here. Some men, it is claimed,
received $5100, others $300 and yet oth-
ers $400 U. S. bounty money, and those
who were paid the lesser sums want
enough more to equal the highest. This
request excludes present pensioners.
According to the latest programme
Douglas Fowler Post will meet with the
W. B. C. on next Friday night when
the newly elected Officers of both or—
ganizations will be installed, a lunch
eaten, several pipes of peace smoked,
etc. The affair will be public to invited
guests. On Thursday evening ex-com-
mander Atwood will install the officers
of the New Canaan Post.
The liquor license case hearings will
be resumed before the County Com-
‘missioners at the city council chamber
to-morrow.
The lock works, which were running
on short time, previous to the holiday
shut-down, will resume operations next
Monday on full time.
The batters expect to have their hands
full of work soon after the 1st, and re-
main busy until J 11110.
“Ephraim ” is the name of a venera-
ble horse owned by the irrepressible
Wilbur Ayres. Eph. was born in the
palmy days of the Jurassic geological
epoch, and his locks are longer than
the tresses of a mermaid. The other
night Eph. escaped from his bed room,
gained access to the feed department,
and ate a bushel and a half of oats at
one sitting—or standing, rather. After
such a meal any modern animal would
have passed out of existence like shank
of morning fog vanishing into the infi-
nite azure of the past. Not so with
Ephraim. He manifested no distress,
no symptom Of nightmare, and evident-
ly sustained no damage to his dia-
phragm, while the diapason of his
morning bray, when reminding Wilbur
that it is breakfast time, is as melodious
and sonorous as ever.
The annual sale of pews took place at
the Congregational church last evening.
The total amount realized from the
sale was $1,000 ; the highest price for a
single pew being 855.
