The Junior Prohibition Club is going to hold a grand entertainment next Monday evening at Dibble’s Hall. President Hill of the Iron \Vorks, has just received another patent. This time a device for governing pistons in steam engines. Miss Maud Riggs of Meriden, is mak- ing a week’s visit with friends in town, previous to joining her parents in Yon- kers. to which place they have recently .removed. -..- 7: 7.- It required a casket twenty-seven inches wide and twenty inches deep in which to place the remains of Simon Howarth of Danbury, who was quite well known in this city. It is stated that the manager of the New York base ball team is negotiating with good looking James Sullivan, of the City Hotel, as a substitute player. This is on the word of Mike. Monsieur Ellendorf returned from the G. A. R. Encampment at Meriden last evening, and will again wrestle with the onerous duties connected with his jailyglot combination, the Anzeiger and Mechanics’ Journal. it is now supposed that onlya portion of the brick block near the old Swords’ corner, recently purchased by the Con- solidated Co., will have to be removed to permit the straightening of the curve in the tracks at that point. The meeting ot the Richardson & Morgan Co. was adjourned for a fort- night, at which time it is believed that final action in reference to starting up the works will be taken. This company has a pay-roll of about $3,000. U. (ii-ant Houston. of Jordan and \Vest Norwalk notoriety, is to lecture in the Congregational church, George- town, Saturday evening, and it is sug- gested that his friends hereabouts hire a carryall and encourage him by their presence. 5.. 4 . \V. A. Wheeler’s Iron foundry is full of orders, and in order to keep up with them he is working until 10 o’clock nights. Among the orders is one for a large supply of meat hooks for New York butchers. He is also busily eni- bloyed in the manufacture of heaters, shells, &c., for hatters’ use. .‘.— L .‘L 4 . The Hat Finishers’ Union braves held a council last evening, but wheth- er it was for the purpose of arranging ing for a ghost dance, or the transac— tion of routine business, deponent saith not. If for a dance, however, of course Chief Tammany will lead the grand march. and “Sykes” will furnish the tom eods for the feast. ' It may be of interest to advertisers in this city to learn that the number of DAiLr GAZETTES disposed of in South Norwalk alone is rapidly nearing the 1,000 mark. The output from the branch office this afternoon is between eight and nine hundred copies. Now is the time to place your adv’s., gentle- nien. before the space is all occupied. e:- e:- +:- \Vork on filling in a section on the Consolidated road, between Fort Point street and the drawbridge, is not being pushed very rapidly. One of the work— men likens it to throwing dirt into a suspended barrel with both heads knocked out. The soil is marshy, and it seems a never-ending job to get ahead of its sinking capacity. "i’: .‘L J’- l. 4 ~22 7:- Thc pavement put down in East \Vashington street, last fall, is now clear of ice and snow and in an excel- lent condition, and if it holds good When the frost comes out of the ground next spring, there will be but little trouble in getting a vote for its exten- sion west and south where it is much needed. a -7.- =.< Waterbury, who has charge of the liquid refreshment department at the Mahackemo Hotel, received a terrible fright this morning by the bursting of a mineral water bottle on the sideboard. . Lyonaise Potatoes, He clapped his hand over his gizzard' as if shot, when he heard the report, but took in the situation just in time to see Leroy Tailor shooting out of the back door as if fTom a catapult. \Vhile \Vaterbury has regained his usual com- posure. Taylor acts nervously every time he comes in sight of the sideboard. ' a -x 7:2 The‘old adage that “It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good,” is often verified, even in these breezy times. A Norwalk oysterman recently made the assertion that, on a certain piece of oys- ter ground, some three acres in extent, the crop had been nearly caught up ; but owing to the exceeding high winds and heavy swell of the waters of the Sound, oysters had literally been roll- ed in windrows upon his ground, mak- ing it a very easy matter to tong up a boatload. It is the oysters in clusters that shift in this manner. Single oys~ tcrs are pretty apt to stay where they belong. The secretaries of the various trot- ting associations in this circuit are to meet at the rooms of the So. Norwalk club, to-morrow afternoon, to correct the list of entries for the spring meet- ing. :1; L Eight members of the Norwalk \Vheel club attended a reception given by the Bridgeport \Vheel club in J efi'ersonian Hall, last evening. Every one of the eight, says that their reception was most Cordial, and pronounce the visit one of the pleasantest episodes in the annals of the club. “The members of the Bridgeport club are royal enter- tainers, ” is the way they put it. e:- —3<- —:e Early this morning while James Hall one of expressman Cavanaugh’s drivers was loading freight at the steamboat wharf, his team became frightened and ran into Water street, hurling the driver from his seat against the Dun- can Iron Yv’orks building, and contin- ued on down the street to a point just below the Ci'ofut & Knapp hat shop where they were steppe d. PeOple ran out, expecting to find Hall in a lifeless condition, but fortunately he escaped serious injury, and securing his team returned to the pier for the balance of his freight. A box of fur in the wagon broken open, was the only damage done. :3. .x. The following is the bill of fare for too—day in a South Norwalk family that is observing the Lenten season: BREAKFAST. Oatmeal and Cream, Poached Eggs on Toast, Corn Mufiins, .«r. .. Coffee. DINNER. ‘ Fried Sinelts, tartar sauce; Maccaroni, Potatoes, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Tomato Salad, Crackers, Cheese, Coffee. SUPPER. . Deviled Clams, White Bread, Eggless Gingerbread, Cocoa. BROAD RI VII/1’. The sale of the GAZETTE has nearly doubled here in two days. The people know a good thing when they see it, and the DAILY brings the pennies out of their pockets quicker than would a contribution box or an early spring hand organ. James Lycett of the Norwalkpottery, has been unable to attend to business this week. owing to quite a serious ill- ness. Messrs. Bradley are now disposing of their onions at quite profitable rates; $4.50 per barrel for red, and $8.00 for white. Uncle Henry had many white onions damaged by the excessive rains, before housing last fall, spotting them, which lessens their value about 50 per cent. Charles Hodges, of the firm of Brown & Hodges, borough, taking advantage of a relaxation in the house building boom. has built a substantial picket feiise, which is a decided improvement. Geo. W. Mills, who formerly ran a kerosene dispensary on wheele, has secured an important position at Wil- son’s Point with the Housatonic rail- road company. A bondsman for the district treasurer must soon be forthcoming, that col- lector Merrill may be releived of the overflowing tax money which his out bulging pockets seem to indicate. Denom Marshall is getting out and disposing of large quantities of build- ing stone to parties in town. He will have enough left for seed. The boys have an idea that there will not be much more skating for them this winter, so they made the most of it by having a jolly time on George Ells’ pond, last evening. The ice men who failed to house a full supply in January, and have been “hoping” ever since, don’t seem to get much satisfaction that way, as the weather has not brought them the requisite number of “inches” to finish. lVILTOA'.
