Said one of our oystermen recently:
"Storms have only one starting place,
and that is in the southwest, south of
the sun. A storm can never start from
north of the sun. If you see a cloud
north of the sun it amounts to nothing.
If you observe .1 cloud sent 11 of the sun,
then you may know mischief is in the
air. But you must take into consider-
ation the color of the cloud. then it

Commander Tuttle, ex—commanders
Wood and Arnold, delegate Ellendorf,
and others representing Douglas Fowl-
or Post, departed to Meriden early this
morning to attend the State Encamp—

port H. E. Fanton, of Danbury, for
Department Commander; to fight the
thieves who rob the inmates of the S01-
diers’ Homes of their pensions, and to
demand that the State shall hereafter
promptly pay the burial fund allowed
deceased veterans, instead of trying to
1’ vaIlc such payment, as has been done
too oft-L n in the past. It is time this
double robbery of the nation’s living
and dead saviours should be stopped.
J L R. 'laymond has succeeded in re-

to being dead, in this city. We refer
to the manufacture of hat blocks, or-
ders for which had for some time been
placed elsewhere. He is now manufac-
turing several hundred blocks per
month and has an increasing trade. In-
deed, he is hardly able to find enough
suitable wood, which must be highly
seasoned, to supply the demand for the
blocks, and is somewhat concerned and
discommoded in consequence. Lum-
ber dealer Tolles recently suggested to
Mr.Ra3 mond that he confer with the
hat manufacturers and persuade them
to make small sized hats until such.

led by John 1V. Pennington, J. F. Con-

and over 120 couples participated inthe
festivities. The costumes were espe-

One of the most thoroughly charm-
ing and successful entertainments of
the season was given at the Athenaeum
last evening, for the benefit of the Nor-
walk Library Associatio 11.
There has been such a rush of gayety
for the past week or two that it was
thought best to have this supper in a
smaller hall than the Opera House,
those in charge of the arrangements
knowing that the good housewives of
the borough have been called upon
very frequently for contributions of
late, and feeling that even among such
generous souls there might necessarily
be some who would find it expedient
to "draw the line somewhere.” But
the cordial and liberal response to their
request for aid, and the large attend-
ance'onlso inclement a night proved con-
elusively that the Library has a strong
hold on our people.
The supper was managed by Mrs, J.
G. Gregory, as the wife of the Presi-
dent, Dr. Gregory, who called to her
aid an able corps of coadjutors. Though
she was ably seconded in every way, it
is but fair to this Winsome little lady to
say that, as upon her shoulders fell
almost the whole responsibility, to her
should belong, in large degree the
credit of the undoubted success won.
The ladies having tables in charge
made them beautiful to behold, deco-
rating them in different colors. Mrs.
Frederick Belden presided over a New
England table of the olden time. She
had spared no expense in labor 01' ma-
terial in order to carry out this idea,
and the result was most gratifying. A
blue and white spun bedquilt, against
the wall made a background. The
china was of genuine willow-ware, and
the chairs used “over a hundred years
011 .” Silver candelabra with garlands
of flowers stood in the centre, and di-
rectly overhead was suspended aball of
dark red carnations, the work of Mr.
R. G. Hauford, the florist. Mrs.
den and Miss Clark, who assisted, were
dressed in elegant costumes. Miss
Clark’s of blue and white, Mrs. Bel-
den’s of black satin and delicate old
lace. Mr. A. E. Austin, in a magnifi-
cent Continental costume carved at
this table, and all sorts of New England
dishes were served here, from turkey
and pumpkin pie, to baked beans, and
Indian pudding.
Mrs. VanBuren and Mrs, \V. H.
Smith at one table, Mrs. Ira Cole and
Mrs. Dexter Hitchcock at another,
chose yellow and white. These tints
were most elaborate and beautifully
carried out with yellow cheese cloth,
candles, lamps, shades and flowers.
Miss Sarah Boyer and Mrs. Lewis
Green used different, but equally ef-
fective shades of pink, wearing black
lace and Bon Silene roses. Mrs. E. J.
Hill and Mrs. Horace Hubbell selected
this color. In the centre of Mrs. Hill’s
table stood an exquisite pink azalea in
full bloom, from Mr. Hanford’s, which
attracted the attention of every one.
Mrs. Hubbell arranged most artistically
a big pink bowl of carnations for her
centrepiece, and were a lovely dress of
eeru and pink crepe de chine. Mrs.
John Jarvis made very massive and
gorgeous decorations in red, with Can-
delabra, roses and carnations.
Perhaps one of the daintiest effects
was Miss Sarah Woodward’s. The oak
table was without a cover. Through
the centre was stretched a lavender
silk scarf, with a out work centerpiece.
At the four corners were placed cut
glass bowls of heliotrope and violets.
Lavender candles were used. The se-
mac and beautiful mistress wearing a
most becoming gown oflavender crepe,
and pouring tea fr om a Royal Wor ces-
ter service, completed a graclous D10-
ture.
Mr s. Gregory, Mrs. Coolidge, Miss
Cholwell and Mrs. Baxter arranged a
table in the form of a Maltese cross,
draped artistically in green and white.
Bel-‘

the centre and overhead a ball of whlte

the ladies were green, two white. This
table was made especially elegant by
the number of exquisite cut glass and
silver dishes containing pickled Oys-
ters, salads, etc., placed upon it.
was a distinctive feature of all the
tables that tea was made on them, the
different tea pots, caddies and kettles
giving a most homelike appearance.
Mrs. Stephen Comstock was to have
presided at a table, but finding the hall
somewhat crowded in the morning, she
quietly resigned her place to some one
else, and took the cake table, thus giv-
ing a lesson in kindly good nature and
courtesy which will not soon be for-
gotten.
Delicious candy and salted almonds
were made and sold by Mrs. John S.
Seymour, Mrs. Aurelius Meeker, Mrs.
Fred Bennett, Miss Clara Smith and
Miss Charlotte Betts. Anybody who
has made candy 01' begged candy
knows what this means and will appre-
ciate their labors.
The provision table efficiently served
by Miss Moody, Mrs. Fred Betts, Miss
Rebecca Curtis and Mrs Stiles Curtis.
The waitresses were anumber of pretty
girls in charming costumes to corres-
pond with the colors of the tables at
which they served.
The entertainment was in the hads of
Mr. J as. H. Bailey and all 33111 agree
that he acted with his usual efficiency.
The programme consisted of duets on
violin and piano by Miss Sally Betts
and Mr. Hopson, on the banjo by Miss
Eva \Voodhull and Miss Annie Cole,
four tableaux, being the same given
last week for Grace church, and kindly
repeated last night, and a very happy
speech by Nelson Taylor, Jr. Dr.
Gregory announced each number, mak—
ing an appropriate and graceful speech
of welcome at the beginning of the pro-
gramme. Miss Betts and Mr. Hopson
rendered some charming gavottes, but
resolutely respond to an encore. The
popularity of two of our most fascinat-
ing young ladies, as well as the excel-
lence of their performance as banjoists,
was amply exemplified by their en-
thusiastic recall. The tableaux 3v ere
managed byl Mis. G. 1V. Cr am and
Mrs. G. \V.1Vhite. Everybody knows
that we have the prettiest girls n1 Nor-
walk this side of the Mississippi, and
anybody who doubts it should have
seen them last night. It must be a
genuine pleasure to artists to work with
'such material, but there is an enormous
amount of drudgery to be gone through
with before the pleasure of “posing”
comes. Mrs. Cram and Mr. and Mrs.
1Vhite worked hard all day, and un-
selfishly spent their evening almost
entirely behind the scenes, and they
deserve the enthusiastic thanks of the
audience for such a genuine pleasure
as they helped to give. When Miss
Annie Gregory, Miss Alice Mallory,
Miss Grace Millard, Miss Edith Street,
Miss Gibbs, Miss Miller, and Miss
Alice Cram, were doing Pythagoras
the honor to stand for him, or using
the Spell of woven paces for the poor,
bewildered young bachelor, one could
not help envying the handsome modern
ancient Mr. Morison, and pityng the
difficulties of Dr. Baxter, the bachelor.
Mr. Taylor was announced to give a
recitation, but began by saying that he
was in a dead funk. We are informed
by those in the way of knowing, that
this was literally true, but we only per-
ceived the happiest result produced by
this unwonted and astounding condi—
tion of mind in our “city” man. His
speech was ready, witty and natural.
He made some telling local hits on the
dancing class, and consolidation, end-
ing with a very amusing and appro-
priate parrot story. Stage fright seems
to act upon Mr. Taylor as a stimulant.
Ths amount realized by this pleas-
ant afl‘air will probably be something
over a hundred dollars. This must be
highly satisfactory when the terrible
storm is taken into consideration. In-
deed, had the evening been pleasant,
the hall would not, in the opinion of
many, have held the people.

Thompsmwillc 1’. O.
Thompsonville, Ct., Feb. 11.—When
the citizens of Suffield awoke this
morning and discovered that Postmas-
ter Allen would have to vacate to make
room for another man they were mad.
Late Saturday night a dispatch was re—
ceived from Wathington stating that
President Harrison had appointed
Richard Jones postmaster of the Suf-
field post office. The reason why this
appointment should create such a
furore was because'it had been made
right in the face of a petition signed by
nearly all the towns-people asking that
Postmaster Allen be retained in ofiice.
Postmaster A. had recently made a
number of improvements, and had just
got comfortably fixed when the news of
his dismissal came. The outcome shows
that one senator, who is fortunate to
get close to the Presidential ear, is
more powerful than hundreds of pe-
titioner s.
