We have procured the above cut from the architect’s sketch of GRAcE CHURCH, which has occupied so much of the time of many of our best citizens, and much more of the time and thought of the special originators and promoters of the new church and parish. Its location on the old Henry Belden Homestead site, aside from its hallowed family associations, is one of the most picturesque and beautiful situations that could possibly have been selected within the borders of our whole town. We think our picture of the pretty new church and terraces will be viewed by the readers of the DAILY GAZETTE with more than an ordinary interest. The Rt. Rev. Abiel Leonard, D. D., Missionary Bishop of Nevada and Utah will preach in Trinity church this eve- ning at 7.30. The name of Phineas C. Lounsbury appears on the muster roll of honor of Douglas Fowler Post, G. A. R., as a private in the last war.

The guests numbering over 100. were Welcomed into the spacious parlors by Mrs. Burr Knapp, Miss Knapp, Mrs. H. A. Matthewsen and Miss Fitch of Sauga‘tuck, and Mrs. E. F. Knapp [and Mrs. Robert McDonald presided. An elaborate supper was partaken of, served by Mrs. F. Quintard, Mrs. F. Burritt, 1\Irs. Geo. Jennings, Miss M. Jennings and Miss Lina Couch. It was a social event that will be long and pleasantly remembered. Among the guests were a number from out Oftown. -—OO On one of the recent cold nights an ardent youth residing in this city in- vested his last nickel in a ticket for. Stamford, regardless as to how he was to get back,provided he could sit up an hour or two with his girl who resides in that town. He reached his destination in due time, and after the courting was concluded, went to the depot, boldly intent upon hoofing it home up the rail- road. Just then a train, bound in the same direction, stopped at the depot, and our hero determined to “swipe” a ride; so he slipped up to the front end of the baggage car and located him- self in a squatting position on the car- steps. All might have gone well with him, barring the biting cold, only for a tattling inside passenger who gave him away to the conductor after the train was well under motion. The con- ductor held a consultation with the wa- ter boy who shortly afterwards went to the car door and fiendishly baptized the amorous youth with a bucketful of ice water, and when the latter reached this station he looked like an iceberg and was nearly frozen to death. No more sparking for him, he says, until the mercury climbs to 101 in the shade. ———————-——<—o->——————— What 01mm is This 1’ A few mornings since, an hour be- fore “jocund day stood tip-toe on the mountain tops,” or “graveyards ceased to yawn,” and yet while “the morning stars sang together,” and bright and beautiful Venus shed her eifulgent rays athwart the orient, a belated and no doubt beautiful owl sat perched in one of the noble elms that so rurally adorn the site of unique and pretty little Grace church, and with all the grimness and solemnity of Poe’s Raven, he poured out his solemn “tu-whit—tu-whoo,” upon the resonant air. He remained here chanting his doleful requiem till “night’s shadows blossomed into dawn, ” and then he took wings and flew up country-ward, presumably, to his con- genial woods and feathery friends. But what omen was this? Did he come to preach some occult lesson to his few unfeathered fellow mortals who chanc- . ed to be out at that early hour and up- on whom he looked with a pitying dis- dain, because they could not fly? or was it a ghostly mesage from those saintly ones now gone to their rest, and who so long tabernacled in the flesh on this now sacred spot? What Oracle may tell us? ~~o~o— ——George Raymond of East Norwalk, is making frames for Whitney it Co., and Miss Carrie Adams is in the sales room during Mr. Whitney’s illness. - Birthday Party. The Toledo, Iowa, Chronicle records 3 a gathering there of the friends of a venerable lady formerly of Norwalk, Mrs. Maria Quintard, at the home of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. C. B. Quin- tard, the former being 87 and the latter 60 years old. The report says : “Mother Quintard recalls quite vivid- ly some of the events connected w1th the war of 1812, as she was born at Nor- walk, Conn. , 1304. She was married to Charles Quintard May 3d, 1821, who died about thirty years after their mar- riage in Knox county, Ohio. Mother Quintard came to Tania county, Iowa, in the, fall of 1864 with her family. For nearly forty years she has been a widow. She is the mother of nlne children and now has 23 living grand children and 53 great-grand children, one of them now married. _ She united with the Methodist Epis- copal church 7 2 years ago, at the age of fifteen. Her physical vigor and health are quite good and her friends may hope to be with her on many more blrth-day occasions. Mrs. Maria Qum- tard, is the daughter of James J elleff, a Revolutionary soldier who went from Norwalk, Conn. Her father was mar— ried during the war and the brlde’s dress was of chintz calico, costing $1 per yarc .” Mrs. Quintard is a sister-in-law of our own aged and esteemed fellow-citi- zen, Evart Quintard, of Main street. Q.——————-————-‘-—— The Rotterdam Safe. NEW YORK, lr‘eb. c.——The steamship Rot- terdam, about which some anxiety has been felt because of her being a few days overdue, has arrived.

A Change in a Business Firm Sometimes Necessitates aChange in the Mode of Con- ducting Business. Hon. Daniel Dougherty says: “That the man who can adapt himself to cir- cumstances is the right man in The right place.” This is What we are! aiming to do. We have just completed, our Third inventory since starting in business for ourselves. The last covers a period of six months. While our profits have not been as large as we might Wish to have them, yet we feel very grateful to find our business in a. healthy and growing condition. It was our intention to give the public a chance during the mouth of February to buy Good Desirable Dry Goods at. prices Lewer than-was ever heard of? before (considering the market values of goods today); but circumstances have furccd us to do even more. It has: forced us to lay asidcfor a time all good principles previously made in re- gard to selling goods at cost and less than cost. Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention. [In Sanray Morning. c. , We will continue and sell during the month all kinds of DRY GOOD AT COST 1 And some goods such as Gloaks, Shawls, Fur Capes, Woolen Hosiery and Woolen Underwear Below Cost. We still believe in the principle we outlined at first, that of selling every article of a Thoroughly, Reliable Quality at a. small Margin. We would say to the public that we buy goods as low as the lowest, and in some cases lower. (This is where the experience comes in.) ' W e have never made a. statement in print that we did not conscientiously believe to be a fact. When we say that we are going to sell goods AT COST we mean the actual cost, and not a fictitious price added on with a view of deceiving clerks as well as customers. To every rule there are exceptions, and we make but two out of our whole stock. These are Corsets and Kid Gloves. The goods named are sold under contract and we cannot break price on same. Our Stock of Ladies’, Misses’ and Children’s Cloaks to day contains more in number and is composed of more Choice Styles than is shown by all other stores combined. It shall be our aim to show during this month a Complete Line of Black and Colored Silks, Black and Colored Velvets and Black and Colored Wool and Dress Goods. We have been and are now receiving our stock of SPRING GOODS, every yard of wh ch will be offered for sale during this time on the same terms. We sell strictly for cash with one price to all. » Lco mg llr ‘ too 3 S no. - Tllll llllll‘llll STllllE, _ corner Main and " Wall ' 813., Norwalk. . 1
