The Lawn party of Misses Annie and Cassie Power, who proved quite equal to the occaSiOn, greeting each' one as they came with a pretty assump- tion of dignity. It was one of the pret- tiest entertainments ever given there. Seldom if ever has the pavilion been occupied by a happier party, the chil- dren 1n white frocks, and bright hued gowns, danced back and forth with heightened color, the lovely heads keeping time in unison with the flying feet. A grand march was fo1med and finally led the way to the flower decked table. The menu was suitable to the young company, and the pleasure was increased by the presence of a band, who played while the children thorough- ly enjoyed themselves. A p1 etty ef- fect to the scene the flowing tide and white sails, all in all it made a picture one cannot easily forget.

Less than p year ago Oliver E. Whul- lie1 married a young woman named Sweet. Prior to her marriage she had executed the necessary papers trans- ferring the custody of a Winsome little girl, about four years of age,to Charles W. Bennett and wife of 13 Grant street. After her marriage, however, she de-‘ sired to recover possession of the child- and her husband seemed to be in hear- ty sympathy with her every movement. Last Saturday evening while Mr. and Mrs. Whullier were out walking they met, at the intersection Of Main and Wall streets,Mrs. Bennett with her fos- ter 'child. Without any preliminary squabbling Mrs. Whullier seized the child and tried to get away with it, while 'Mr. Whullier held Mrs. Bennett. Fortunately Officers Adams and Gorm- ley were at hand, arrested Mr. Whul- lier and locked him 11p for attempted kidnapping, and restored the child to Mrs. Bennett. When the case was called before J us- tice Austin this morning the prisoner was not on hand, neither was he to be found, Mrs. Gehebe having had a Court of her oWn, apparently, and re- leased Whullier on his own recogni- zance. Justice Austin’s supreme dis- gust at the turn affairs had taken, was apparent “frOm the expression of his eyes.” The case went over until to- morrow morning until 9 o’clock. ‘ About noon Officer Adams arrested Mrs. Whullier. Justice Coolidge pre- sided at the trial, everything alleged in the complaint was admitted, and she was fined $152 and costs for breach Of the peace, the bill amounting to $10.9‘2.Her husband, whose trial comes off tO—mor- row, was in court. Novel Scare—crow. Rev. Dr. Noble has not t1aveled all over the inhabitable globe for nothing. Having a fine bed of strawberries in his garden, which he takes pride in tilling himself, and a very large family of friendly robins about, which be greatly loves, he soon learned that he must do something to keep the birds in some sort of awe, so as to get a fair di- vision Of the berries. Reasoning from experience and observation, he said it Would be useless to set up the efligy of a woman in thered, for the stupid- est robin knows that a woman can’t throw a stone, nor would it be effectual to put up the caricature of a man, for so few men are what they seem and fewer ever “get there,” when they essay it, that the robins were no doubt well “On to i, ” so he thought he would try something O1igina1. He brought from the garret his wife’s skeletOn dress form, ran a bean pole down through it, draped it with his Chinese pajamas and put his low crOwnedI hat , on top. The good DoctOr’s success Was triumphant. The poor mystified rob- ins can’t tell whether it is a man, a woman, a mermaid or a “what- -i's-it, ” and so keep clear Of the beds.- \ THE JACKSON BURGLiiRY . SA ClIue to the Robbersk‘ «.4 Believed to be the Luddington IGayn‘g . . __ ' w - ' .zI Since the captureé of Baker, the as- mstantmnd’ confederate of the univer- 351 tlfih’ftLuddmoton, Certain bits of ev- :‘strong probability to the theory that it was the Luddington gang that burglar- iled the jeweh'y store of the Jacksons here a few weeks ago. This being so, it goes to show that there is still anoth- er active fiarticipant in this organized and active band of midnight marau- ders, yet uncaptured, as three men were seen operating in the Jackson bur- glary, one standing guard at the outer door, two going into the store, and still another going into the hotel after mid- night and taking a room that overlook- ed the scene of operations, conj ectural- ly as a guard against discovery and sur- prises from that quarter. If it shall turn out that this gang were the real burglars of the Jackson store, then it is entirely probable that they were the ones who burglarized the Danbury and Norwalk R. R. freight depot and Randle’s store and postoflice some time ago. This matter will be very thoroughly investigated, and from the clues already in possession of the Officers, more arrests are likely to be made and the Luddington gang will rise considerably above the grade of mere chicken thieves and simple coun- try house breakers and food and furni- ture stealers. ~—~ <§>—~ « .-. —»-— In Police Court. The wheels of the mill of justice re- volved very quickly this morning in the little borough court room, and lib- eral doses of the law were dealt out. .The first case called before Justice Coolidge was that of George Jones, the fruit merchant, who was charged with an assault on Wm. E. McDonald, and breach of the peace. Jones married McDonald’s sister and, when in town, McDonald made his home there. Last evening McDonald returned from an outing and after a more or less violent and McDonald went after an ofilcer. On his return with Chief DeForest he found his trunk in the yard and its con- tents in delightful confusion. Attorney Walsh, representing the state, had but little to do, inasmuch as Jones entered a plea of guilty and was fined $3 and costs, the whole bill amounting to $10.- 75. Pete1 O’ Blien was also before the court charged with an assault upon “One Hennessey” and intoxication, to which he entered a plea of guilty. At- torney Lockwood represented the state, but as the prisoner’s mother was at the point of death Said he would not ask for the infliction‘of a severe penal- ty. In passing sentence, $7 and costs on each count, Justice Coolidge adminis- tered a sharp reprim and.He reterredto the prospectivebereavement of O’Brien and said: “You’re abad man and ought not to be left at large in the commun- ity. In my opinion the Bridgeport jail is the place for you and if you keep on in this way you will surely go there as a common drunkard for 120 days or more.” Saturday evening Ofi‘icer McCarthy found Frank Sturges helplessly drunk on the sidewalk near the Boston store, loaded him into a wagon and took him to the lockup. This morning he plead guilty and Justice Austin fined him $2 and costs. Funeral of Charles Fisher. The funeral of Charles Fisher, the veteran actor, and who died on Thurs- day, took place from the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York, yes- terday afternoon. The pall I bearers were William Winter, C. W. Couldock, Maurice Barrymore, Daniel H. Har- kin‘s, Joseph Jefferson and J. H. Stod- dald. On the coffin were four floral pieces, one a magnificent bouquet of white roses, being from Mrs. George Gould who was Miss Edith Kingdon. The service was the simple burial service of the Z Episcopal church, and was read by the Rev. George H. Hough- ton. he was “a man of infinite jest,” and has many times delighted Norwalk. as well as thousands of other people by his in- imitable talent. His first voyage across the ocean for his English home was taken in the old Collins line Side-wheel steamer Atlantic, over 30 years ago, when Charles Wheatleigh, Lysander Thompson, and several othe1 noted stars, with the editor of the GAZETTE. were fellow voyagers and there were few gloomy moments on that trip.

DEAR SIR :—Your letter of the 11th inst., is received. I cannot supply you with any ammunition for I dislike very much the notice that has been taken of Butler. ' I do nOt know whether I have been fortunate or unfortunate in coming in contact with unscrupulous adversaries. I have certainly been no worse off for their assaults. As for Admiral Farra- gut, he and I were always friends. While he lived he was at the head of the navy-he could get no higher, either in rank or reputation. He had' everything he wanted. To show you our relations I send you a copy of the last letter he ever wrote. You can see by it whether I was do- ing anything for him or not. . I was always doing something for Farragut and by my persistent efi‘orts" had him selected for the command of the squadron at New Orleans where he so gloriously distinguished himself. It is such worthless fellows as Butler who circulate the reports to which you re- for. I remain very restpectfully yours, ' DAVID D. PORTER, Admiral. To Col. D. C. Pavey, Birmingham, Conn. The following is a copy of the Farra- gut letter referred to: NEW YORK, June 26, ’70 MY DEAR ADMIRAL :—I have re- ceived your letter-of the 24th inst., and hasten to thank you for your kind sug- gestions in reference to the “Talla- poosa.” As you truly observe, it will be much more agreeable to me at this warm season, to travel in this vessel to Ports- mouth, N. H., where I propose spend- ing a few weeks with Commodore Pin- nock and his family. ' My physicians are decidedly of the opinion that a change of air will be highly beneficial to me and I do not doubt that this little trip by sea will also be Of service. Again thanking you for your thought- fulness in this matter, believe me Very Truly Yours, D. G. FARRAGUT, Admiral, U. S. N. To Vice Admiral D. D. Porter, Navy Department, Washington, D. C.

MY DEAR COLONEL—I hope this w ill find you in the enjoyment of good health. I have not had the pleasure of meeting you since the W111. and I think the last time w as in Florida. How many changes since. At Boston last year I learned that Capt. Hobby had just died. Dear Allen had some time before passed over the riv or. May we all meet with our dear com- ]éanions and have a glorious reunion in the reat Beyond. A few of us. however. remain. and I have arranged to have a head uar ters at Detroit, Mich. at the next Nation na G. A. R. encampment for the 25th,55th,75th,107th Ohio and 17th Conn, We expect Gen. McLean to be with us. He' is now living on Long Isl and, N. Y., and was with us last year at the reunion of the old regiment, the 75th, and we had a good time. Cannot you arrange to come and bring a number of the Old 17th? We would certainly hav e a good time. The rooms A, B and C, Irv- ing school, on Willis street, between Class and Woodward avenues. have been assigned for 16- union purposes, August 5th and 6th. Can you get this information to the members of the 17th? I do not know who to notify. and take the chance of this reaching you. How well I remember the 17th when it first joined' us out at Gainesville, Va. Gand when we marched out to the gap. bein Captain of Co. 5t.h I first met Capt. Fow er, 1; en Captain of Goo. A. of the 17th. We became fast friends, until at Gettysbur, his noble life was ofi‘er- ed up in a gallant efense of the old flag. All the old brigade suffered terribly there. But one other officer besides myself remained of the 75th. It was indeed a sad place. Now, Colonel, arrange to come with a good repl esentat-ion. Kind regards to all of the 17th.

The flag has been floating for one hundred and fourteen years, and under its folds the most re- markable nationknown to history, says the Courant, - has developed from its small but brave beginning to be- come the leading people of the world— having the greatest territory, the full-I est independence, the largest individu- al liberty and the highest personal character. To- day' is the flag’ s birthday. It is 114 years old and let every one who ha th Stars and Stripes raise it. Have the flag floating to-day from every flag staff in the state and let no one in Con- necticut be out of sight of the Stars and Stripes or lacking a reminder that this is the day we celebrate and why we celebrate it. .0. ——The breezy GAZETTE and a choice cigar-for 5c at Benedict’sto-night. 122tf In view of the completion 'of Deaf Butler' s autobiography, Ythe following ~10 Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jennings, of Brooklyn, spent the Sabbathwith Mrs. E K Song on West street.

Each Sunday school did itself proud. There was a large number Of passen- gers came up on the City of Albany, ‘ Saturday night and a fair complement of passengers went down on her this morning. It now looks as if the boat was to be popular this season. There were many visitors at Dorlcn Point yesterday. and the stage run- ning to that place was largely patron- ized during'the entire day. Dorlcn Point is a splendid resort and it is managed by Landlord Powers in a ' manner that ensures success. Fillippo Marianno, an ex-marine of the U. S. navy, who keeps a little store on the Benedict Farm bridge, East Norwalk, for the sale of soft drinks, etc., was arrested yesterday for the sale of hard drinks such as lager etc. This morning Justice Morrell continued the case to the 29th, Attorney Hurlbutt appearing for the defendant.

Mr. Leland is one of those “quiet” young men, but that he “gets thar” is evi- denced by the responsible position he holds. He was at one time in the em- ploy Of the Norwalk Iron Works. There were lively goings on at the home of Joseph COx on Raymond street Saturday night and early Sunday morning Mr: and Mrs. Cox and John Francis were arrested as promoters of the lively time. The charge against them is drunkenness, breach Of the peace and assault. There was blood, beer and bad language galore. Francis claims tofihave been bled of his hard earn- ings, after which a row was started by Mr. and Mrs. Cox, he, Francis, to all appearances getting the worst of it. He bears some ugly cuts on his head inflicted he says by the‘edge of a board in the hands of Mrs. Cox, and ‘to-day he placed his hands on his head and said “I do believe that hell hath no compare to a maddened woman.” All were found guilty and each paid a fine and costs of $11. 76.
