visiting his father on East avenue.
His health has not been good, and
when he told his firm he would

his physician, Dr. Gregory, they im-
mediately gave him a vacation for a
month and told him to draw on them
during his absence. Mr. Selleck isa
bright young business man and has
made himself very useful to his em—
ployers. We hope he will soon be re-
stored to complete health, and that he
will thoroughly enjoy his vacation.
A little seven—year old girl not a

was in there old Satan came in and
said: ‘Littlc girl, why don’t you take
one of those nice big cakes?’ I just
told him to get right out of there, and,
Mamma, he was as mad—and you

Some philanthroluc ladies of Stam—
ford have started a cooking
school for the enlightenment of
the " daughters of poor fami—

day morning, when a lesson is given
by some expert in the art. The aim
is to teach the girls how to prepare a
good, wholesome meal at a slight cost;
also to make broths, etc., for the sick.
The cooking is done in the presence of
the pupils, and before long the girls
will do the cooking, and will take the
food to their homes... Do we not need'
just such a school here ?

\Vc understand that Mrs. M. E.
Mead is arranging to have another rc-
cital given at her school, “Hillside,”
‘by the charming blind musician, who
lectured to an appreciative audience
there last winter on Chopin. If this is
true, no one who loves music should
fail to be there. Mr. Perry talks about
the composer he has selected, and il-
lustrates his music by the most sym-
pathetic interpretation. Mrs. Mead
has'the true idea of what education
should be, and is untiring in her efforts
to imbue her pupils with the Same '
ideals. She spares no trouble nor ex-
pense in order to bring the best talent
to Norwalk, and gives our people an
opportunity to improve by this when,
possible. VVe certainly do appreciate L
this, and ought to show it by support-
ing Mrs. Mead, even if we were not so
thoroughly edified as we are invaria-
bly sure to be.
Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Morison met with
a very narrow escape from a serious
accident, yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Morison was driving tandem in one of
his high carts, with his _ wife beside
him, through the bridge, and the horn
had just been gaily sounded when sud-
denly the near horse shied and crashed
into a telegraph pole, just below Dr.
Gregory’s drug store, throwing them
so violently forward that it was almost
a miracle they were not pitched over
the dash board. Had not Mrs. Morison _
an instant before the crash, braced .
herself, it would have been impossible '
for her to have preserved her balance.
The usual crowd gathered in a moment,
and it was found that the horse that
had behaved so strangely had the Stag-
gers. Mr. Morison had noticed that
he seemed choked while coming down
the reservoir hill a few moments be-
fore, but had thought it simply the
effect of the heavy weight and massave
collar. Mrs. Morison behaved with
great presence. of» mind, and showed
admirable courage.

EDITOR DAILY GAZETTE :—You are
undoubtedly acquainted .with the de-
plorable condition of 'the roads
throughout the borough. In particu-
lar I would call your notice to the state
in which East avenue is at present. A
greater part of the public thorough-
fares have been recently newly made,
but East avenue has not received one
hour’s work which has been anything
but detrimental to travel. If-a few of
the unentcrprising officials should be
eradicated, and the offices filled by
young men of intelligence, the vicissi-
tudes of future town growth would be
enhanced. Let us hope for a change.

The many friends of Robert VanBu-
ren Esq., of West avenue, will be
pleased to learn of his extraordinary
good luck. It seems his birthday is
near at hand, and Mrs. VanBuren, with
her well—known zeal and energy—as
everybody connected with Grace
Church will attest to—determined to
give him Such a birthday prcsent as
would gratify and please him in every
way. If there is a weak spot in Mr.
VanBuren’s being it is for a lovely
woman—and a beautiful picture—and
as a well ordered home is Mrs. VanBu-
ren’s, she determined the picture suffi-
cient. Through the efforts of a mutual
friend, together they managed to get
an engraving of Landseer’s called‘ ‘The
Twins” a rare. proof before letters.
The engraving is beautifully framed in
a Florentine frame, solid wood, beauti-
fully carved'and gilded.
We doubt if another such old line on-
graving is to be found in our town, or.
county even. '
It is enough to say that Mr. VanBu-
ren was greatly surprised and plcased,
as also were his friends who had the
good fortune to see his picture. \Ve
know Mr. VanBuren is satisfied at hav-
ing one birthday in a year, still if he
could have such beautiful pictures for
birthday presents, why two every 365
day's would be appreciated. Some men
know a good thing when - they see it,
and we feel sure we would too, if some
kind friend would only fetch» to us in
our sanctum an engraving of Land-
seer’s, even if it was not a “proof be-
fore letters.” The DAILY GAZETTE.
congratulates Mr VanBuren on his
birthday, and itwill wait for its own
coming first birthday. What will our}

present 3,000 circulation then be, oh ?

undisputed. But some one is to blame
for the deadly car stoves on the New

carrying them in defiance of law. Cor-
