Seventy-six Sailor boys in yellow gossamer suits were on board the black schoolship St. Mary’s, in New York harbor, Saturday morning, when the gangplank was pulled in and the ship and crew started for the northwest coast of Africa. Among them were three South Norwalk boys and bright little Charles B. Treadwell of Norwalk, whose parents were also on hand to see him off and bid him bon voyage. The first landing on the cruise will be made at Fayal, in the Azores, and the last before returning, willbe at the Madeira Islands. —The ten days’ exhibition of cake- making now going on at the Norwalk Boston Store will be found especially interesting to young housekeepers. 3t Vincent Honnecker was driving through the rocks and gulleys of the Bull Run road Friday night, when a sudden strike of his wheel againsta fast stone in the wagon track broke his whifiietree, frightened his-horse, who careened the wagon and caused a sud- den drop in bread, pies and cakes, and dropped Honnecker as well, but he hung to the reins “like old mortality to a deceased African” and soon got the frightened animalunder subjection, repaired his damages and got safely home. But isn’t it about time that the public roads In this hamlet were put in safer condition? —Have you had a sample of the Sun- shine cake, made and baked at the Norwalk Boston Store ? 103 3t Sutherland has been trying to prove an alibi ever since the GAZETTE charged him with trying to beat a carpet. He says anyone who knows him, will ac- quit him of the faintest suspicion of ev- er having attempted any such hard work as that, and we don’t know but this is true. However, the laziest of men have been known to reform under the rolling-pin, broomstick or other tender persuasions of the gentle house- wife, about house-cleaning time, and that Sutherland is being broken in, as a useful member of society, is proven by the fact that again this morning he was seen pufil ng and wheezing like one of Mail Carrier Bennett’s broken-wind- ed horses, shoving a lawn-mower over his door-yard. —President Harrison the Monogram Junior Cigar pro- nounced it the best on earth. They are sold by Benedict, the Newsman. after trying Mr. J. Arthur Osborne, of West avenue, declares that he is not yet through with that pesky steam road roller. .He succeeded in having the danger signs moved down to the site of the roller, and now that the roller is working in front of St. Mary’s church, Mr. Osborne thinks that the people in that section ought to have an opportu- nity to get acquainted with its evening’s devotions. He is tired of being compelled to get uplat all hours of the night and sally forth in his night dress and slippers to open the furnace door to keep the machine from blowing off steam and pouring outvolumes of odor- ous smoke. He is almost persuaded to hire a hack to take the workmen home, instead ,of making them ride to their boarding houses on the roller, as that seems the only reason why the machine is kept at the corner of West avenue and Orchard street. The roller custo- dian claims that the machine cannot be run into a side street for the night be- cause it breaks the flagstones of the crosswalks, but it is run over the walk to coal up at Leonard street, and could be left on that street at night if so desired. ‘ ' —Every housekeeper in Norwalk should attend the exhibition of cake making at the Norwalk Boston Store and get a sample of angel cake. 103 3t Mail Carrier Bennett took a. day 0 i3 yesterday and drove his fiery steed u .‘_ to Weston, in order to work off some 0;; the animal’s eXOessive energy. Benne %" Would have enjoyed his outing had no”; the article in the DAILY GAZETTE about}. Old Black’s fast time been extensively: read around Weston, which caused his friends there to run out of their houses and in a bantering way demand to know, anyway, and what he wOuld" take foij' that this horse is ‘not for sale at any:- price. He is now working him down to all bone and sinew, just to “scoop ”3 some of the boys on the race track who '~ think they have trotters. Bennett can give these J ehus points. —James Means’ $3.00 Shoe at Hoyt’s. +>—_———— Memorial Day. General Order No. 5, issued from. Department headquarters to the state Posts, G. A. R., says: “Again we will stand, my comrades, before those silent marbles, to strew‘ with beautiful flowers the last resting places of our noble dead. ‘ ‘The prosperity which surrounds this } grand Republic, for whose existence our comrades gave up their lives, is the most wonderful picture ever admitted to the gaze of the great nations of the world; and the yearly continuance of. this beautiful custom is the greatest? object-lesson for arousing patriotism in: the breasts of the generationwhich hasg' arisen since that greatest conflict the, world ever saw, ended. . “It is an occasion to us surrounded with precious memories—of heroism. and bravery, accompanied by priva‘a tion, hardship,imprisonment and death; - to the thousands who were buried where they fell, and those who died from the effects of their ser- vice since that memorable time. “On this day we renew our allegiance to our flag, our country, and to the ev- erlasting principles of liberty and equal rights to all men.” —Calf-Boots $1.50 at Hoyt’s, .9. i i Let Them Alone. 'An agent for a Rochester nursery" firm has been delivering orders in this town recently, says the New Canaan Messenger, which some of our people were foolish enough to give him. In- stead of ordering trees, plants, vines, etc., from Hoyt’s Nursery, which is right in their own town, and known to be one of the best and largest in the country, and conducted by men Fof in- tegrity andperfectly responsible for all they do and say, they will give their orders to a stranger, who, nine times out often, will give them an inferior article at greater cost than can be - fur- nished right at home. The following extract from a letter recently received by Stephen Hoyt’s-Sons, from a vener- able gentleman of Stamford, speaks for itself: “I was abominably taken in last year by a Rochester nurseryman. All the trees and plants died during the winter, and he charged nearly double than what you do. People will learn one of these days to get their trees and plants from the nearest nurseries, and from established houses, not from agents with picture books, brought up in the school of lying. ——Best $1.25 Oxford at Hoyt’s. County Commissioners. The Fairfield county legislators _met at Bridgeport Saturday afternoon to choose successorsdo County Commis- sioners George M. Olmstead, of New Canaan, and J. W. Johnson, ofBridge- port. Two ballots were required-to determine the choice Of a successor to Mr. Olmstead. The successful candi- date was W. S. Mead of Greenwich. Mr. Mead isa merchant, and for the past sixteen years has been chairman of the republican town committee in Greenwich. It is understood that the ballot stood seven for and eight for Mead. The second vacancy on the board was filled‘by the selection of Mr. Johnson to succeed himself. He received a unanimous vote. Mr. Paige remains as the third member of the board. The names _Will be certified to acting Governor Bulke- ley who will no doubt approve their se- lection. _‘——‘* fi—~—-——-— The Gazette Would Like to Know Why the little park at the junction of Belden avenue and South Union avenue is not taken care of ?
