What Miss Spinster Says :
That advertising has become a science.
That Mrs. Henry Price and Miss
Cholwell were among the visitors at the.
Bench Exhibition in New York, yes-
terday.
That Mr. and Mrs. Robert V anBuren
and family, enjoyed the dog show yes-
terday. ‘ '
That Mr. R. P. Beatty, formerly ‘of
lVest avenue, has been in town for a
few days.
That Rev. Mr? \Vatkins and Mrs.
\Vatkins, are in town to-day, to look at
their new home.
That the audacity of some folks of
mushroom growth, and shoddy in-
stincts, is at the least refreshing.
That there-are days for trotting out
ancestors with Colonial Dames and
Sons of the Revolution. at the social
bat.
That if you want to be “in it,” up to
the neck, to use rather an expressive
phrase, you must write Town on local
letters. ‘_ “They” say it is quite too ut—
terly English, and it’s use will show
that you know what’s what.
That there is indignation and grief
among the old residents of East avenue,
over the cherished landmarks, the
grand old trees that have stood for a
century, and were planted by their
fore-fathers, and tenderly cared for,
that are now being swept away by rude
hands, the only thought being they will
serve for wood.
That the coming spring is to be char—
acterized by some of the most remarka-
ble things in the way of wraps that ever
have been seen. No more plain black
or dark blue or gray little coats. but
yellow, if you please, the most brilliant
steeped—in—sunshine yellow, or a Polish
coat of bright scarlet, with a white vest
and gold braid, with gold cords and
buttons. And hussar coats of bright
blue. and short Spanish coats of pale
gray clot-h, lined and slashed with
scarlet. Or the cirCularcavalier capes,
reaching below the waist, very full and
very straight, and gathered at the neck
into a very high collar. ' These are
only a few of the pOSsibilities.
That society is willing to go to church
and confess itself “a miserable sinner,”
but there is a slight reaction against
this depression, early hours and walks
in the open air soon tone up the weary
brains and bodies. Then is ‘ begun a
vigorous course of mental and moral
improvement. As “the season” is de-
voted to pleasing of the senses, Lent is
given over to the cultivation of the in-
tellect and the soul. So the public are
given lecturers and plays, but society
has many forms of mental food in the
shape of clubs. One of the most de-
voted is Grace Church Guild on every
Wednesday afternoon during Lent, is
for the study of ecclesiastical history.
The ladies of the Guildfind it necessary
to do much skimming of silver clasped
bibles in order even to listen under-
standingly to the subjects Ediscussed.
The sedate game of whist serves for an
excuse for social evenings, and card
parties also serve to lighten the peni-
tential gloom, and the unintellectual
but maddening game of “I‘iddlewinks”
also finds advocates. With all these
plans for time killing the forty days of
Lenten sobriety pass quickly. “The
season” serves for the making of ac-
quaintances, Lent for the making of
friends. ’

NOR. "111.103 13.11111 1.17 HISTORY (31"
GEN. WM. '1'. SHERMAN.
Local pride is justly taken in the fame
of the late William T. Sherman, of the
United States Army, and one of our
analists. in response to our request. has
contributed
other facts in his possession, bearing
the following, among
upon the great soldier’s ancestry:
Upon General Sherman’s fathers’
side he, it would appear, descended
from William Sherman, or Scherman,
who according to Talcott, as verified
in Rev. David Sherman’s notes, set-
tled in Massachusets soon after the
landing of the Pilgrims in 1620. Our
old town has been honored with resi-
dent representatives of the two original
New England branches of this distin-
guished family.
Taylor and Roger Minot Sherman were
contemporary Nor walk barristers. The
former was the grandfather of Gen.
\Vm. T., and the Hon. John Sherman,
and the latter, accepting good authority
was a nephew of Hon. Roger Sherman,
one of the signers of the Declaration of
Independence. Taylor Sherman’s son,
Charles Robert, the father of the Gen-
eral, wedded one of the daughters of
our St. Paul’s parish. Mary Hoyt, the
mother of Wm. T., the General and of
John the statesman, and the sister of
James I. Hoyt, who died many years
since, and of the late Charles Hoyt,
formerly of New York, but who subse-
quently purchased, 'and with his es-
teemed family occupied the old Timo-
thy Merwin homestead on North ave-
nue, was the fifth child of Isaac and
Mary (Raymond) Hoyt, and was born
on the feast of the Holy Innocents, at
the close of the last century. She was
of the earliest Norwalk blood, and the
tracing of her descent. which in Ameri-
ca‘first exhibits itself in Gov. Win-
throp’s colony, is interestinml Of the
fourth generation from the maternal
Connecticut founder of her family, she
bore her, foremother’s name, Mary,
daughter of the “well beloved” Thomas
Betts, the. planter. Her mothers maid—
en name v'as Mary Raymond, and it
vas probably through one of the best
known St. Paul’s church eighteenth
ctfntury fathers that Mary Raymond,
and perhaps her sisters, Elizabeth,
Esther and Hannah’s, churchly instincts
were derived. Each of these sisters,
General Sherman’s great aunts, mar-
ried prominent men. The first named
was the wife of Dr. Uriah Rogers, J r.,
and her honored grave is still well pre-
served in one of our cemeteries, albeit,
its marble testimony is becoming ob-
literated. She was the aunt by mar-
riage of the widely known Chancellor
Kent. Esther’s husband was a Con-
gressman, and died in Washington.
She resided, until about the time that
her nephew and neice, General Sher-
man’s father and mother, broke up
their Norwalk home and departed in
their “Prairie Schooner” for Ohio, not
far from the Main street Sherman
house. Hannah, the last named sister,
became the wife of Capt. Lemuel
Brooks, and lived about one mile south
of her father’s home in “Old Well.”
She was the aunt of the venerated Miss
Mary Ann Miller of New Haven, who
used to take great comfort in her
visits to this town. General Sherman’s
grandparents occupied pew No. 30 in
the post revolutionary church. Here,
with Hezekiah Jarvis, and Hezekiah
and Samuel Belden as neighbors, and
with her uncle Brooks close by, the
General’s mother listened to the teach-
ings of such men of God as were Henry
Whitlock and Dr. Bethel Judd. In
childhood she came with her parents
from a distance to church, but later on
she lived nearer by. Like many of the
Fitch and Cannon, and other young
people of the day, she married quite
early, not a long time, presumably,
after leaving the school of which she
was amember, a school of considerable
reputation at that time, and which for
years had been located in Harlem but
was removed to Poughkeepsie. Fol-
lowing her marriage she left her native '
place to take up with her husband and
first born their new home in the then
far off west. Her family story and that
of others of the dead Generals’ ances-
tors will repay perusal. Our ancient
town is an historical hive, and some of
its fast crumbling records deserve to
be rescued from the oblivion with
which they seem threatened.
The foregoing is published in the
hope that additional facts pertaining to
the New England pedigree of one of
the grandest military geniuses of mod-
ern times may be brought to the sur-
face and find a place in our archives.

Celebration. int (Alma-ms (Jrcuuwry.
The Greens Farms Club held one of
their very enjoyable Washington birth—
day meetings, ‘ in the Creamery Hall,
Tuesday. This was the sixth annual of
these meetings, and as stated by Mr.
J. S. J ennings, President of the club,
that the thirtieth anniversary of the
club was held a few weeks ago. Among
those present were seen T. S. Gold,
Secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture, J. S. Kirkham, Treasurer of
the same, E. S. Jenkins, State Bota-
nist and Chemist, Dennis Fenn, Isaac
C, Smith, of Milford, Edwin and James
Hoyt, of New Canaan, also noted agri-
culturists, and dairymen of Greens
Farms and Southport.
The meeting was opened with an ad—
dress of welcome by the President, fol-
lowed by an interesting address by
\Vm. J. Jennings, a former president
of the club. Subject : “The Influence
of Culture on Soil and Crops,” which
pointed to the importance of thorough
underdraining of wet soils, and brought
out much discussion. Mr. Gold spoke.
”at length, on the value of sheep on the
farm. J ohn. Elwood gave some views
on the same subject. Mr._ Kirkham
and Mr. Fenn urged the necessity of
getting the outlets of drains very low.
In compacting of soils, James Hoyt
told of having pastured his rye in the
fall with good results. On this subject
Mr. Kirkham repeated some words of
Horace Greeley, that if a man did not
drain his farm, the farm would soon
drain him. But Mr. Greeley found
this rule reversed in the far \Vest.
where irrigation is the correct thing.
There Horace found that if the farmer
did not dam, he would soon be drowned.
A paper was read by Dr. J onkins,
entitled, “Some Suggestion on the
Creamery Question.” The. Dr. felt
some hesitancy in giving any ideas per-
taining to the subject. before patrons
of a Creamery, which had just received
the first prize at the Dairyman"s Con-
vention at Hartford. The speaker
gave some interesting figures regard—
ing the best methods of determining
the richness of cream. in butter fats,
and found that the oil test, was by far
the best manner of arriving at the
value of cream. Henry Birge, Will.
Burr and S. B. Sherwood, added to the
interest of this subject, by giving their
experience in feeding and caring for
cows.
The meeting then adjourned. to par-
take of a bountiful lunch, provided by
the ladies of Greens Farms, ,after
which President Jennings read the fol—
lowing toasts, which were responded to
very pointedly, by various gentlemen,
viz : “The Farmer in Politics,” by
Mr. Kirkman; ”The Connecticut Far—
Gold; “Our Farmer’s
Homes, God Bless Them,” by Mr. Ed-
win Hoyt ; “Our Wives, therc are
They '3” by Mr. Fenn ; “What we
Know, and What we Don’t Know,” by
Dr.Jenkins ; “Go East Young Man,"by
Mr. Smith ; “The Capacity of the Hu-
man Stomach,” by Dr. Dunham.
Space will not allow the giving of the
responses in full, which were rich in
feeling, mirth and jollity.
At the afternoon session an. instruc-
tive paper on “The Horse,” was read
by Isaac C. Smith, of Milford, which
opened a discussion at great length by
Messrs. Kirkham, Fenn, James, Hoyt,
Mr. Gold and others. ' ‘
'Various other questions were briefly
discussed, viz : “Is the spreading of
manure broadcast on the fields in win-
ter, wasteful or otherwise ‘9” ' “Shall
we plant our potatoes in hills or in
drills?” “What capital should a far-
mer invest in machinery ‘3” “Does it
pay better‘to feed hay than to sell it ‘3”
“What drains would be best 011 the
farm 2’” “Can anybody present. give
experience in raising J apancsc buck—
wheat ?”
After the’ discussions were closed,
Mr. Gold announced that the work of
the State Board and Dairyman’s Asso-
ciation would soon be materially assist-
ed by the Shefiield Scientific School of
Yale College. .
Secretary Sherwood thanked all for
their presence, and was especially grate-
ful to those who came in response to
invitation by letter, to help the meet-
ing along. ‘
Before the meeting, and during the
intermission, the visitors were inv1ted
to inspect the various processes in the
making of butter, which was going on
in the lower part, of the building, where
all the best modern appliances and ma-
chinery for the same, could be seen at
work. The out-put of the Creamery is
1,500 pounds per month, at present.C

The Officers of the New Haven road
claim that the "heater” which proved
so fatal in the tunnel disaster is not a
stove or furnace whose use in passen-
ger cars is~ prohibited by the law of the
State of New York. .. Why not test that
question by the indictment of the re-
sponsible officer? The law to which we
have referred not only imposes a heavy
fine for any violation of its prov1s10ns,
but also makes such violation a misde-
meanor The officers of the ofi'endii g
company are liable to the penalties of
this law unless they can show that they
have not'disregarded it.—N. Y. Herald.
