Reunlon. There has been some doubts as to the annual reunion of the old 17th Conn. Vols. taking place at New Canaan this year, although all the comrades living there and many of the'leading citizens public inconvenience; and loss. For instance, the present Fairfield County National bank building Was set out on Mechanic street fourgfeet. When the Danbury. railroad was located, the‘ northeast cornerflof the Thomas, now the Hadden building, was forced out about eight feet into River street and .. all. the space noiv ecetified by Bennett's newstand was for scores, if not a hun- dred years previously and for many years subsequently, a part of the pub- lic highway. Then the old path or sidewalk past the hotel, the Bishop, then the Noah Selleck property andthe old Fairfield County bankibuilding, followed close upto the steps-bf those buildings leading to their front door entrances. Frdm the bank building of that place had expressed an earnest j desire that it should be held there. But all doubts are now at an end, as . last week a meeting was held of the l leading citizens of New Canaan, of‘ which Mr. S. B. Hoyt was made chair- . man, and an invitation was heartily Vex- t tended on the part of the people of that town to the gallant old regiment to, hold its regular annual reunion there on August 28th. Comrade Charles W. 3 Smith. who is president of the 17th' Conn. Vole. Association, was at New Canaan last week and definitely ac— cepted the invitation 4of the citizens and concluded all necessary arrangements for holding the regimental reunion there on Friday, August 28th, so that all surviving comrades of that organi- zation are requested to take note of the fact and prepare for a full turn-out on that occasion. -<-V~ The Truth of It. “Mr. Engel says he went to the GA- ZETTE office last evening and asked them to kindly Correct the article, but “bright little daily” was on earth and that they would not correct or take back the statement unless Mr. En el wrote a4 contradiction and signed name to it. ”'—Sentinel. The only part of the above state- ment which is true is that Mr. Engel. did call at the DAILY GAZETTE office Friday evening. We endeavored to explain to Mr. Engel that our publicas tion was taken from the reports on the street, the truth of which we had no knowledge, but as'Mr. Engel’sduncery was about on a4 par with that of the boy stand. We offered him our columns for a statement, as is the custom in all newspaper offices, which the boy re- po1ter should have known had he been acquaint-ed with the first rudiments of newspaper work. The only reference we made to his affixing his name to a statement was when he launched forth originators of the reports and asked us if we would print his profanlty and we said we would if he would put it in writing and affix his name. When questioned as to the truth of the re- perts about a poker room and about liquor being brought into the building, Mr. Engel shut up like a clam and was as innOcent and unknowing as a full ' end, adjoining the J. B. Betts place the ‘ correspond.

K. James, and an unsightly jog was main- will remember, but at the time this was done, Norwalk was .but ar'small hamlet compared with its presentsize and pop- ulation and no one protested as no harm was done. 44But t4o-day these evils are seen and felt, and ahalt- must be called to protect the public rights of the present and of the future. Unquestionably, a cross walk ought to be laid in front of the hotel On the line selected by Mr. Lockwood for his curb, but to run his curbing out to the acute angle. proposed . would result in serious public inconvenience in getting into or out of River street, from Wall street west, and weald inevitably cause frequent accidents in going to and com- ing from Dann’s stables, .although we are told that the Dann’s have kept en- tirely aloof from interfering with the proposed change of lines. There is an interesting and serious- ‘question likely to arise at any time, however, affecting the rights of the Dann’s. As we are credibly informed, when they purchased their livery stable property on River street, 2 they pur- chased under a warrantee that the Dan-. bury & Norwalk Railroad Co. should maintain a roadway over their ? track two rods wide over the entire planked portion of their roadway on‘ River street. As it is but some twenty-five feet between the hotel building and the brick buildings opposite on the east side, a troublesome contc s't 1s liable to arise as to who 18 to move his building off the highway. A more generous public spirit is evidently needed in Norwalk. - 2 —-4——————OQO—-—-———-—-— Decision by Défault.‘ ..JohnAlvord of Greens Farms; hasiale. lewed the $1, 000 civil suit brought against him by Mrs. John Becker of that place, to go by default, havingfail- ed to file an answer in the case.

Quitting these «academic precincts the horses were headed in the direction of Candatowe, passing on the way thither the tombs of the family of brave Capt. Stephen Betts who opposed Tryon at the sacking and burning ,of Danbury and Norwalk, and the resting place, in the same enclosure, of the mother of the first individual said to have been knighted by Queen Victoria, an individual who was. a merchant of celebrity and a Lord Mayor of Liver- pool. A delightful north-westerly- drive brought the tourists, anon, to the two granite boulders which, according to venerable mention mark, with their faces turned toward the morning, the sleeping places of Catoonah, Sagamore of the Ramapoos, and of his bride. The singular rocks stand 1s so commanding and the view from it so charming, that it is easy to comprehend why the captivat- ing height should have been the war- rior and his partner’s favorite tenting ground. The place is a'few miles this side of the village of Katoona, and is accessible by a private avenue which conducts to it from the highway. Its Indian proprietor is supposed to have lain there since about 1708- 10 or so. On qhe last day of September, 1708 (see Boulton) the chief executed a pa- per infavor of John Belden of Nor- walk, with which act his supremacy probably ceased, he having surrender- ed forever the wooded highlands, and .thebrook, loved valleys, and magnifi- cent lakes that had so long been his pleasure and 'his pride. The menu- mental rocks are belted by wire work, and one of them appears to have been rent through the action, 2 most likely, of the forces of nature. The boys will not soon forget Canda- towe, nor the wonderful aboriginal ovens, dedicated to the red man’s god . Manito, which a ride of some five miles eastward brought them after about. a half mile skiff row, directly in front of.

When the excursion boat from Stam- ford with 1,600 of the employees of the Yale & Towne arrived at Coney Is- land Saturdry, Detectives _Van Loon and Boyle of Chief McKane’s staff ar- rested Ella Palmer,’ 11 girl of '17, and her companion William Eagle. Wil- liam Palmer, superintendent of the St. John Whitesmithing Company‘of Stam- ford, had telegraphed that his daugh- ter, who was married only tongweek’s ago, intended eloping'with-Eagle. The despatch described the girl’s dress ac- curately, and the detectives had no trouble to pick her out as the passen- gers left the steamer. The girl said she had no intention of eloping, but would not mind remain- ing on Coney Island if she found work. She asked Chief McKane if he wanted a private secretary. Until the excur- sion boat was fairly under way, she said, she thought her husband was with her. He was an Italian and not nearly as good a fellow as Eagle, and she only married him out of spite. A policeman kept track of her until the steamer left at 5 o’clock and then the Chief in person saw her safely on board. 0 Too Previous. James Fowler of East Norwalk, who recently returned from a trip to the Pa- cific coast, tells this capital story on himself: He was in the cars on his way ‘up to Oregon, when a dapper fellow came and took a seat beside him and entered into familiar and rather inquis- .2 itive conversation. He wanted to know where he was from, when he was last in New York, Albany,VRochester, Buf- falo, Cleveland, Chicago, Omaha, Den- ver, ’Frisco, &c. Fowler replied to all such queries with frankness and rather enjoyed the free and easy Sort of run- ning talk of his traveling companion At the end of an hour or two’s ride, his new friend threw back his coat and ex- hibited a detective‘ s shield, at the same time startling our East Norwalk friend'VV ( (Ilu with this abrupt peremptory order. just want yOu, sir, to take the next train back to the East: we’ve got enough of you fellows out here now; there is no room for. any" more 4cr4400ks with us, and you will be wise if you take my ad- vice without further trouble.” In vain did Fowler ‘plead that he was an inno- cent and virtuous young man from Norwalk, Conn. The more that he pro-V tested that he had VjuSt come out to see the country, the more the detective de- termined that he should return. But . it was no use; James had come to see Oregon, and he kept on to his journey’ s end and did see it. ' means business. SUDDEN DEATH An Aged mum of HOyt Street Found Dead. , ..

The sale of seats for “The Comedy of Errors” tobe given by. the New Ca- naan Co. in their own town the even- ing-preceding their performance here, has been phenomenal. 150 tickets at a dollar each, and numberless seats at 75 and 50cts had gone up to Saturday morn- ing. Such men as Dr. Willard Parker have taken twenty and thirty each. The object to-which the proceeds are to go :is a-town clock. The Norwalk library is certainly as deserving, and the seats being placed so much lower, 50 each, including reserved seat, ought to make it easy to sell twice as many. The trustees and ‘oflicers of our library are working hard, andhave succeeded in selling to one family alone, sixteen tickets.

The facts as stated to us are that Builder T. S. Os- born paid Beganabout. a hundred dol- . lars last week, which R, just like lots 4of men, tried to hide from his wife, so hid it undera plank walk. His sharp little child saw a glimpse of the green- backs andtold her ,mother, who was not long in recovering and secreting, in turn, the money. from her spouse. O’Hallaran had lost a sum of money and as soon as he heard of Mrs. B’s find claimed it as his, and being refused has sued for it‘and the case is to come off a week from to-day at South Norwalk. In the mean time Mr. Osborn is able to positively identify two- twenty dol- lar bills that Mrs B. has as among the bills he paid her hquand. It 1s likely to prove an interesting case.
