The ladies of the W. R. C. were in-

nected with their entertainment next
Thursday night, but the tree, an ever—

The story about old Ponce de Leon
hunting for the “Fountain Of Youth”
in the swamps of Florida is parallcd by
the recent exploit of a city journalist
searching for the GAZETTE’s mythical
syndicate of foreign nabobs who were to
boom East Norwalk, and his subsequent
announcement that he couldn’t find
that syndicate. Bless us! Take the

The statement that the city would be
at the mercy of the present borough,
in the event of consolidation, does not
appear to be strictly logical, except it
can be demonstrated that the four mem-
bers of the proposed new city council
representing South and East Norwalk ,
could be out—voted by the three other
members representing the borough.
Charlie Rogers says it “ can’t be did,”
“Truthful J eems” to the contrary. etc.

It has "leaked out ” that a certain
ardent youth’ in this city, who, having
advertised in a matrimonial paper for
a wife, sent one. fair correspondent an
“X ” with which to pay her passage
hither, received a sound letter of ad-
vice from her for which her fee was ten
dollars, she retaining the “X” in set-
tlement thereof. She was already mar-
ried, a lawyer by profession, and had a
keen eye for business. Out of regard
for the youth’s lacerated emotions we
refrain from disclosing his cognomen.

As a gentleman was passing along one
of the streets of this city, he noticed
two small children near a house who
were barefootcd and half-clad with di-
lapidated garments His curiosity be-
ing excited, he entered the house and
found that it was tenanted by an ine-
briated couple and their eight wretch-
ed children. One of the latter,a twelve-
year-Old girl, was a cripple whose ema-
ciated body was covered with foul ul-
cers from which, here and there, frag-
ments of bone had come away. The
gentleman was so affected at the sight
that he was unable to refrain from shed-
ding tears.’ Here is a chance for the
practical exercise of home charity and
missionary work".
Johnny Rodemeyer, the bold local
editor of the GAZETFE, favored the city
with his presence recently. He was
standing on a street corner with his eye
glasses reposing upside down astride his
nose, holding a bottle full of invisible
microbes in his hand, and surrounded
by a large crowd of citizens to whom
he was eloquently expounding the eso-
teric idiosyncrasies of those lively ani-
mals. At the close of the seancc, the
audience adjourned to the nearest es-
tablishments which were suitably loca-
ted to talk the matter over, but Johnny
walked home with the proud air of one
who had faithfully discharged his duty
towards his fellow countrymen.

Bainbridge \Vadleigh, cx-United
States Senator from New Hampshire,
and one of the best known lawyers In
the Granite State, died in Boston Sat—
urday at the age of 60 years. He was
one of the early anti-slavery men. He
identified himself with the republican
party at its inception. In 1855, when
24 years old,‘ he was elected to the
State Legislature from Milford, and
served in that body in that and in the
following year, and again in 1859, 1860,
1860, 1870, 1871, and 1872. During his
last four years in the State Legislature
he was the acknowledged leader in de—
bate and in influence.
In 1872 Mr. Wadleigh was chosen
United States Senator from New
Hampshire, to succeed J. W. Patter—
son. During Mr. \Vadleigh’s service
in the Senate he was chairman of the
Committee on Patents, having succeed-
ed the late Senator O. S. Ferry, as
chairman of that committee. He was
also a member of various important
committees. one of which spent nearly
one winter in Mississippi and Louisi-
ana taking testimony in regard to
alleged Southern election outrages. In
1870, failing of a re-election to the
United States Senate from New Hamp-
shire, he went to Boston and resumed
the practice of law. During the latter
years of Mr. \Vadleigh’s life he was an
independent in politics.
Mr. \Vadleigh was a warm friend of
our Senator O. S. Ferry, and an ardent
admirer of his transcendant abilities.
He was also a friend of Mr. George W.
Cram of Norwalk, and of the proprie-
tor of the GAZETTE, who was his secre-
tary after the death of Senator Ferry.
His daughter, a charming and most
accomplished lady, married a brother
of the Mr. Thomas who married Miss
He was a
of great and
man of high character,

The storm that prevailed here from
late Saturday night until yesterday
noon was by no means so severe as the
great March blizzard of 1888, but in
its own peculiar way it was fully as re-
markable. The blizzard, begining
with rain, and winding up with wind
and snow, afflicted all classes of people,
and completely obstructing travel. Fol-
lowing the blizzard’s example, this
storm began with rain, succeeded by
snow and wind, but, it bent all its ener-
gies to the destruction of the telephone,
fire, and electric light systems, both
in this place and South Norwalk. Up-
town the wires were down in many
places and communication was nearly,
if not completely, shut off, while the
city was in a similar condition. '

EDITOR'GAZETTE : —You certainly de-
serve the thanks of the public and
especially of the people of East Nor-
walk for your exposure in Friday’s
issue of the outrageous scheme to de-
prive them of their post office. It is
surprising that the Sentinel should be
found aiding and abetting the perpetra-
tion of this fraud upon the Post Office
Department as well as upon East Nor-
walk. Post offices are sometimes abol-
ished in places where the population is
declining, but to do away with'one in
a rapidly growing section and substi-
stute a slow and inefficient carrier sys-
tem would seem to be the height of
folly and would surely prove a severe
blow to the growth and prosperity of
the place. \Ve rejoice to know that the
plans of the conspirators have failed
and that East N orwalk is not to be sac-
rificed to the selfish schemes of South
N orwalk and the greed of a postmaster
bentupon adding a few more dollars.
to his salary and securing a little more
patronage at the great disadvantage of
the people of this section.

Those who were at St. Paul’s church
last evening enjoyed a. very delightful
and impressive service. The singing
was excellent, and no person of aver—
age sensibilities could fail to be touched
by the rendering of the hymn, “Hark!
Hark, My Soul.” Mr. Selleck, too,
was in his best vein, and preached one
of the most forcible and eloquent ser-
mons of any which have been deliv-
ered from that pulpit for a long time
past. It was an occasion which will be'
long remembered with satisfaction by
those whose good fortune it was to be
present. .
