A Bethel young lady, whose sympa~
thetic nature went out in all its fullness
to General Sherman during his fatal
illness, remarked when the news of the
sturdy old warrior’s d arth came, that
if she had known his condition was so
serious she would cheerfully have tak-
en her xylophone down to his house
and? cheered his last hours by playing
“Marching Through Georgia” at his
bedside, a melody which, in view of
his well known antipathy for it, would

Mr. and Mrs. Will Betts, on their re-
cent visit to lVashington, had the op-
portunity of so ‘ing and shaking hands
with the chiefs from the disturbed In—
dian tribes of Dakota, who were on a
trip to confer with the “Great Father.”
Mrs. Betts says they were disgustingly
sa “age looking objects, revolting in
the extreme to her, and that she
wouldn’t have shak ‘11 hands with them
for the world. Her sympathy for them
was not by any means aroused; on the
cont any the notice they were recdving
from the “lashington people seemed to
her utterly inexplicable. In this con-
nection the marriage of the young
poctess, Goodale, a woman of excessive
refinement, if her poetry is any criter—
ion, to an Indian chief recently, seems
to be one of the anomalies we are al-
ways stumbling across both in the line
of lit ‘rary people, and of marriage.
Mr. Simons, of the_ Y. M. C. A. 's
eminently a hustler. He and his corps
of helpers have been trying to secure
forty new members to this valuable as-
sociation. They had reached the num-
ber into three, when on Monday night,
just before the meeting, three persons
came in voluntarily and paid their
membership fee. The next entertain—
ment in the Y. M. C. A. course is a
grand concert by the \Vagner Concert
Company, a concert similar to the Bos—
ton Bivals, which was so good last
year. This entertainment will bean
expensive one, and it is certainly due
to these enterprising young men that
they should have the support of the
community. It is no small task to ar-
ango and carry through a series of en—
tertainments with the skill and ability
in choice and management, as that
shown by the Y. M. C. A. committee.
It involves much labor and real sacri-
fice. 'As this is the most expensive
course that has ever been secured, the
friends of the association should rally
and show that they appreciate the ef-
fort made to give them an opportunity
to hear - so many artists of talent in
different directions.
Superintendent Payne relates with
considerable gusto an incident of the
late collision at South Norwalk, which
aptly‘illustrates a certain stripe of hu—
man nature. It seems that among the
passengers on the down train, was a
frugal farmer from \Vilton, who was
thrown down bv the collision, and who
was among the first to send in a claim
for damages. Superintendent Payne
called on him to ascertain the extent of
his injuries, and was told that the vic-
tim was severely injured about the
head and right shoulder. In order to
duly impress the Superintendent with
the grave seriousness of the injury to
the shoulder, the sufferer raised his
arm slowly and With an apparently
painful effort and much ill-suppressed
groaning. till 1118 hand was on a level

ed was as far as he could raise 1t. MLP.
expressed profound sympathy for the
man, and after a brief pause, asked him‘
to locate the exact spot where his head
was hurt. Without an instant’s hesi-
tation the same hand was lifted clear
up over the top of the injured head. to
the back of the neck, and was placed
on the spot where the alleged injury was
located. The Superintendent involun—
tarily smiled at the claimant’s absent
minded inconsistency and disallowed
half the claim, granting $100, more as
a mark of his appreciation of the ludic-
rous features than because of the right-
eousness of the claim.

General WM.‘ TECUMSEH - SHERMAN,
who died at his home in New York on
Saturday, was not only from the same
patriotic Connecticut stock that fur-
nished Roger Sherman to the Revolu—
tionary period, but was of Norwalk
lineage. His parents and grandpa-
rents were natives and residents of
Norwalk. They resided in the old
house long known by our modern resi-
dents as the “Beers house,” situated
on the corner of Main and Cross
streets. There are now living several
of our older people who saw the father
and mothc ' and elder brother Charles,
(then a lad of about three years,) on
the morning when, in a two-horse farm
wagon, without springs, and covered
with linen sheets spun and woven by
the mother of the General, spread over
hoop-poles that spanned the vehicle’s
top, the Sherman family left Norwalk
to locate on the Connecticut Reserve in
hio. One old lady now living, tells
us that she rode down from Comstock
Hill on a pillion behind the Comstock
colored servant, “O-ne,” and joined
the crowd of villagers who had come
out to say “good-bye” and bid them
‘ ‘Godspeed. ”
There was a wider and more intense
interest felt at this time, says this same
aged lady, in the Sherman family mov-
ing out to what was then deemed a
wild and howling wilderness infested
by wild beasts, than there would be
should a N orwalk family now remove
to Central Africa. The family were
six weeks in teaming it from N orwalk
to Buffalo, and endured untold hard-
ships and privations. The General
was born some time after the family
reached their destination on the Con-
necticut, or Western Reserve, as
the section was then called, where
the family located. His mother was
Mary Hoyt, a Norwalk lady, comely
of person and bright of mind. Here a
few years subsequently, Ohio’s present
distinguished Senator was also born.
But it is chiefly as a Soldier in the
great war of the Rebellion that the
subject of this article will be known to
history. With. Grant, Sheridan,
Thomas, Logan, Terry and others, he
eagerly and loyally unsheathed his
sword in his Country’s defence when
menaccd by armed traitors. \Vhen
Sumptcr was fired upon, he had long
been a resident of the South, and every
effort was made to induce him to cast
his fortunes with secessionists, but.
without a oil. In his letter, January
18, 1801, to the governor of the state,
he expressed his Union sentiments in
his vigorous style, concluding as fol-
lows: “01L no cart/My account will 1
do any act or {lain/c any thought laosftlc
to, or in. defiance of flu: old government
of the (failed States.”
Probably no man at that date so
clearly saw the end from the begin-
ning of that terrible fratricidal strug-
gle, or so fully comprehended what its
fearful magnitude was to be. He was
as quick and decisive with his sword as
with his tongue and pen, and a very
thunderbolt in war. He was a patriot-
ic citizen, a good husband, a generous
father, a soldier without stain on his
character, and, living or dead, the
memory of his illustrious career will be
one of the richest legacies man ever be-
queathed to family and Country.
Peace to the bronzed old hero’s ash-
es, who never succumbed to any enemy
but Death !

No [lope For Norton.
The steam marine lifeboat Francis
L. Norton, which left New London
Nov. 24th forToulon, France, is now
eighty-two days out. The Marine
Journal of to-day, a paper published
by a relative of Capt. Norton, who
went in the craft, in speaking of the
missing boat says. ‘
“The trip was an experimental one,
made in midwinter for the purpose of
proving that the ‘water ballast system’
of which Capt. Norton \ as the inventor
when applied to any craft 111sured 1t
against capsizing and smklng. We fear
one or the other of _ the two causes
which the inventor claimed were 1111-
possiblc has led to the loss of the F..L.
Norton with all 011' board. as nothlng
reliable has been heard from them
since their departure.
The following named persons were
on board this craft 3 Capt. F. 'L.'N0r-
ton and wife, Miss Bickaby, Chief En-
gineer James Mene'ells, Assistant En-
gineer Arthur McLean, Salllng Master
C. F. Carlsen, Seamen John Anderson,
Oscar Mileyar, Steward Joseph Mar-
cial, Cabin Boy John Roberts.”
In shipping circles it is generally
conceded that the Norton has been
lost, the argument being used that if
afloat she would be seen by some ves-
sel crossing the Atlantic.

experience near this city last night.
He was walking along the track
when his attention was attracted by an
unusual noise in the underbrush be-

frightened to see two bears dashing out
on the track. Having no weapon he
took to his heels and was pursued by
the bears. The chase was kept up for
over half a mile, Badger retaining
I seconds.
his lead with the greatest difficulty.
He was becoming exhausted and
would soon have been compelled to
give up the struggle for his life. Just
as he was losing heart he saw the flare
of a headlight around the curve. He
waved his signal light frantically. The
engineer saw him and brought the
train to a stand-still. The animals had
become frightened at the approach of
the train, and fled. ‘
