about a bushel, for this morning he
sent us a basket of fat and toothsome
Mill Pond crabs, just as we were in the

are tempted to go for Fred and skin
him alive, a remembrance of his oppor-

. JOHNS DINGEE.
There passed away to his eternal rest
yesterday morning, one of Norwalk’s
oldest, if not most notable citizens, in .
the person of John Dingee of Roton
Hill. His father moved to Norwa lk
when he was a little _boy and he has
lived on the same spOt where his pure
and uprightspirit took its departure,
yesterday, for a period of over eighty
years. On Saturday, January 10th
last, accompanied by his constant at-
tendant, his faithful daughter, he made
his regular annual visit to the oflice of
this paper and paid his sixty-eighth
consecutive‘subscription to the GAZETTE
His step was as elastic as most men of
sixty, his memory clear, and his inter-
est in passing events remarkably keen
and bright. ' He talked of the past and
present, with eager ..interest, and told
of his having subscribed for the
GAZETTE soon after he became of age
and of‘his having constantly taken and
read it ever since. He had been de-
lighted to note its growth and pros-
perity and was very' greatly pleased
that the old, Weekly had grown to
where it Could isSue and maintain a
Daily.
membrance and regard for the aged
mother of the GAZETTE editor, now liv-
ing in Washington, in her 87th year,
and who was a favorite schoolmate of
his in the old Flax Hill district school,
eighty years ago, and of scores and
more of old friends,,.living and dead.
When we bade him good bye, we
could see no reason Why our good, old
life-long friend might not continue
_with us until he should round out a
full century of years. God knew best.
Enjoying his usual good health, he had
ridden out yesterday morning and re-
turning for dinner,. was himself un-
hitc'hing his horse, when he fell ina
faint, was carried into the house and
the light of life went painlessly out as
a candle burns to the socket and ex-
pires.
Mr. Dingee was a quiet, modest, un-
ostentatious and unassuming man. He
loved his few friends and the quiet and
privacy of his home. Probably the
only office he was ever induced to hold
was that of director in the First Na-
tional bank'of South Norwalk, in which
he took a small amount of stock at the
time of its organization. His daugh-
ter, Miss Mary Dingee, who has re-
mained'with and tenderly cared for him
all her life, only survives him, and to
her he leaves the rare and most effluent
of all legacies, the record of his excep-
tionally long life, without a single
cloud or stain or blemish, and the
memory that he lived and died one of
the noblest works of God—an honest
man. _

James Boyle, a well~known and pop-

. Our Library.
The entertainment to be given for
the benefit of the Norwalk Library on
Friday night will be a success, judging
from the number’ of tickets already
sold, and the evident interest shown
toward it. While it may seem ambi-
tious for amateurs to undertake one of
the plays of Shakespeare, yet the New
Canaan Dramatic Association have
given long study and careful rehearsal
to the “Comedy of Errors.” They will
present it in elaborate detail and with
a faithful portraiture of the dresses of
that period. To ensure the cerreCtness
of this feature its management has
been placed in the hands ‘of one of the
best costumers of New York, and no:
expense has been spared. The cast has
been critically selected, many of them
being well known to us, and embraces
more than twenty-five. It will offer an
opportunity for an evening’s enjoyment
which should not be neglected, besides
aiding the Library.

today, on the battlefield cf Bull‘Run,’
General Thomas J ackson‘ received the,
sobriquet of “Stonewall,”“-theShame by
which he is, known the world, over and
which the southern people have since that
time applied to him as a term of endear-
ment. Today there was a grand outpour-
ing of ex-Confederates, who assisted in
the unveiling of a monument to _his',m_em-
ory here. ' ' ~ ' V 5'7.
The public buildings, business blocks
and private residences are handsomely
decorated. Red, white and blue is every.
where to be seen, and the good old stars
and stripes float in the breeze from hun-
dreds of flag poles. Onjmany structures——
national, state and Confederate—battle
flags are artistically blended. '
No less than 30,000 Confederates are in
town. They have came from every state
that cast its lot with the secessionistss
Probably not less than 10,000 of the boys
who wore the blue are also here, andjn
the throngs in the street the blue raiment
and brass buttons of the Grand Army of
the Republic are to be seen on every'ha‘nd.
Today was ushered in by salvos of artillery
from Rock Bridge battery, Virginia Mili-
tary institute, and the West Point of the
Confederacy.
~ Preliminary Exercises.
At 11 o’clock the preliminary exercises
were held on the campus of Washington
and Lee university, where a grand stand-
had been erected fronting the main build-
ing and overlooking a broad expanse of
rising ground, forming anamphitheater
equal to the accommodation of 40,000 peo-
ple. General Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, was the presiding ofl'icer,~and to
the right and left of him on the grand
stand were groups of surviving officers of
the Confederate army and navy and other
prominent persons. .
'With afew words of greeting General
Hampton introduced the Rev. A. C. Hop-
kins, D. D.,,of Charleston, W. Va., and
who was chaplain of Stonewall Jackson’s
staff, and who invoked the blessing of the
Almighty on the country, and especially
commended to Divine Providence the wel-
fare of the southern states. Amid rouse
ing cheers, which continued for several
moments, General J ubal A. Early was in-
trodued as the orator of today, and the.
grizzled veteran who, as General Hamp-
ton said in his introductory remarks, is
probably the best informed survivor in
the entire country on southern civil war
history, eloquently dilated on the life,
character and military achievements of
the renowned warrior.
The poem by .Mrs. Margaret J. Preston,

It was nearly 2 o’clock before the main
body of the procession ,had reached the
cemetery, and not less than 30,000 people
had surrounded the tomb and statue when
the firing of a' gun indicated that the exer-
cises were about to‘ commence. As a. pre-
lude the combined bands rendered “My
Country, ’Tis of Thee,” and then amid
rousing cheers-little Julia Jackson Chris-
tian, granddaughter of the immortal war-
rior, gave a. gentle pull to the cord and the
veil which had hidden the heroic bronze
fl ure of , Stonewall J acksou from sight
to 1 away. As the canvas fell to the
ground the old survivors of Manassas, who
composed. the Rock Bridge battery, fired a

Other Features.
In the evening a banquet was tendered
to twenty-five members of the outhern
Hdety of New, York, who, headed by
ugh M. Gerdon, participated in the pro-
ceedings. A large number of Union vet-
erans were also tendered a lunch this after-
noon, and in the procession the boys in

The Monument. '
The st tue which was dedicated is of
bronZe, nine feet in height, and represents
General Jackson in full uniform, his coat
buttoned tightly around him and his
sword unstrung. The body is erect, with
the head uncovered, the eyes as if looking
into distance. L The face is taken from the
dead mask, and is an excellent likeness,
while the clothes were modeled from the
garments and equipments of the deceased
general.
The hilt of the sword shows in large let-
ters “US”, This has created considera-
ble comment. The pedestal is of Virginia
granite, plainly dressed but beautiful in
design. f The statue faces the south. On
the front is the inscription, “Jackson,
1824—1863.” On the rear of the pedestal
the simple word, “Stonewall.”
' Edward Valentine, of. Richmond, is the
sculptor. Beneath the plinth is the crypt in
which repose the remains of General J ack-
son, his baby daughter and Julia Jackson
Christian. The remains of General Jack:
son were removed at 5 o’clock on the morn-
ing of June 25 last, from the grave in the
ity cemetery, where it was interred at
the time of his death, and placed in the
vault, the latter then being scaled up per-
manently. It was Mrs. Jackson’s request
that the body should be removed in the
night, and that no one should know of it
but the committee _in charge. This re-
quest was strictly complied with.
It is now fifteen years since the move-
ment for the erection of the monument
originated. Its total cost was $25,000, all
of which was contributed by ex-Confeder-
ate veterans and southe'rners who revere
themeinory of Stonewall Jackson. Con—
‘iderab e aid was rendered by t e ladies of
t ,e south, and it was largely , ue to their
a orts that themovement culminated in
t e success of today.
