A few days since the GAZETTE gave
an account of a birthday party given a
Mrs. Quintard, sister-in-law of Mr.
Evert Quintard of Norwalk, who had
reached her 86th year, in good health
and vigor. Her brother-in-law, living
here, is now in his 94th year and is
probably Norwalk’s oldest citizen.
He goes about his place now the same
as usual, does the chores and works
about his grounds and garden with as
much relish as he did fifty years ago.
Quintard’s great age and vigor,
may be attributed to temperate living
and “a conscience void of offence.”
Yesterday morning the early passers
by the dwelling house of Dr. A. H.
Baldwin’s, were treated to a novel and
beautiful sight. Many supposed his
chimney was on fire, others that some
room in the house was in a blaze. A
tall, feathery jet of smoke extended
upward full sixty to seventy feet, like
some huge ostrich plume. Behind this
clearly defined quill shaped vapor that
shot upward into airy space was the
dim outline of Venus descending the
eastern horizon. The general conclu-
sion was that this beautiful phenome-
non was either wood, smoke'or a. steam
jet from the blow-off valve of his hot
water heater, but last night’s DAILY
GAZETTE explained it all. It was the
smoking of that pipe of peace in honor
of his bran newboy, which thus ascend-
ed, like sweet sacrificial meense, up to
the skies.

11 Challenge Sale.
The war of the roses has already
Opened and on Monday active hostili—
ties will commence. The slaughter of
dry goods, if not of the innocents, is to
be, as we are assured, something un-
heard of in the history of the quiet and
peace loving town of Norwalk. The
Ambler stock purchasers, threw
down the gauntlet and the Boston store
has taken it up. and now .the public are
invited to rush in and profit by the
terrible cut in prices, and the rush for
fame and fortune on the part of these
red hot contestants for the public’s
patronage, support and favor. As the
honest old farmer, when interrogated
by the sportsman as to whether it was
his dog 01' the-fox that was ahead in
the race across his fields, remarked
with the utmost candor, that “if any-
thing, the dog was a leetle aheac .”-~ So
with its judicial impartiality and pro—
verbial spirit of fairness, the DAILY
GAZETTE would express its belief that
up to date the dog in'this struggle, is a
safe distance ahead of the fox. But
this slaughter of dry goods is a serious
business; serious to sellers and serious-
ly important to buyers, and as the Bos-
ton store has the largest and most var-
ied stock to draw upon and both its
will and wind are of the lasting kind,
the DAILY GAZETTE’s apple to- day, is
bet 011 the now famous Boston Store.

by reason of family bereavements, 'dur-
ing the past year. Yesterday while at
Brooklyn attending the funeral of Mrs.
Thomas’ mother, a telegram from Nor-

death of their son Frank, at Five 31 ile
River, which had just occurred. \V1th-
in a year past, Mrs. Thomas has buried
father, ;mother, a brother and a sis-
ter, and now, “a nearer one and a
dearer one yet, than all other,” a son,
in the prime of his early and noble
manhood, is stricken down, and tomor-
row, he too, is to be followed by those
sadly bereaved parents to the grave.'
May He who tempercth the winds to
the “shorn lamb,” comfort and heal
the torn and bleeding hearts of these
stricken parents.
