EDITOR DAILY GAZETTE—I don’t know of any subject being any more interesting than a census of all the old Irish-born Irishmen and Irish women living in this town. Ten years of time will obliterate all the old genuine stock, and the old people will soon be forgot- ten. Norwalk has great reason to be proud of the grand old Irish popula- tion and they should be remembered in print. x. PERSONAL.
