It is a hopeful and cheering augury that the recent meeting of committees at Birmingham, Ala., representing the Northern and Southern assemblies of the Presbyterian church was character- ized by great harmony of thought and action, so much so that the two bodies are likely to be brought together upon common ground at no diatant day in the future. Among the great masses of the peo- ple North and South, the sectional. dif- ferences of the past are so rapidly dis- appearing that they may be said to be substantially eliminated. There are no serious issues left on which to prolong a family controversy. Americans all in their loyalty to American institutions, says the Washington Post, our country- men have come to realize their identity of interest as Well as obligation, and to fully recognize the strength of an un- divided brotherhood. It may not be that this glorious eon- summation has been delayed by the ex- istence of separate religious organiza- tions, fundamentally resting upon old sectional lines, but it is very certain that the work of restoration has not been facilitated thereby. It is incon- sistent at least that great and influen- tial churches, imposing monuments of Christian excellence and usefulness in the history of the country, should seemingly be last to shake hands across the bloody chasm and declare their perfect reconciliation. May we not hope, therefore,'that the results of the Birmingham conference will lead to the permanent union of the Presbyterians of the United States on broad, national foundations, in one grand fraternal fold? The proceedings of the joint committee will be laid be- fore the assemblies at Saratoga and there are strong reasons for believing that they will be practically and patri- otically approved. Death of Gen.‘Nelson Taylor. General Nelson Taylor, an attorney, well known in this section, ‘died at his home in South Norwalk, Tuesday afternoon, after a very short illness, in the 73d year of his age. He leaves a wife and three children, Nelson Taylor, Maraposa Taylor and Mrs. Elizabeth Andr’ews. ' Mr. Taylor was born in this town on J one 8, 1821. He received a common- school education. At the beginning of the Mexican war he joined the army as captain of the 1st New York Volun- teers on August 1, 1846, served. through the war, and at its close settled in Stockton, Ca1., where he was elected State Senator in 1849 in the first Cali- fornia Legislature, and Sheriff in 1855. Returning to New York city, he studied law, taking his degree at the Harvard Law School in 1860. In that year he was an unsuccessful Democratic candi- date for Congress. At the beginning of the Civil war he entered the vol- unteer army as Colonel of the 72nd New York Infantry. He commanded this regiment, which formed a part of General Sickles’s brigade during the Chicahominy campaign. He had com- mand of the brigade at Williamsburg and in General John Pope’s Virginia campaign, and in recognition of his services was appointed brigadier-gen- eral of volunteers in September, 1862. He resigned on January 19, 1863, and resumed the practice of law in New York city. General Taylor was elected to Congress as a Democrat, serving from December 4, 1863, to March 3, 1867 ' The funeral will be attended from the Baptist church Friday afternoon, all-3:15 o’clock.

Some physicians say that the grip this year is a prevalent breeder of insanity, that it strikes the nervous system and often upsets the brain, but the grip alone does not account for the alarm- ing spread of insanity. Herbert Thompson and Sam Merritt have found a losing game from the start since they located at the St. Marc hotel in pretty Fairfield and have at last had to throw up the sponge. They vacate the St. Marc to-day after having run the hotel for only a few months. The hotel will again be under the man- agement of that popular boniface John Clark. The funeral of W.

Barnes of Norwalk against William H. Starr, executor and others. Starr and the other defendants are the five nephews of the plaintiff’s deceased hus- band, and they seek to have reversed the finding of ex-Judge J. M. Hall, set- ting aside an ante-nuptual agreement entered into by the defendant in which for a promised consideration of $5,000 she waived her dowcr rights in her hus- band’s estate. The case is one of the most interesting of the many ufiique lawsuits for which Fairfield county has .become famous. Should the decision be in favor of Mrs. Barnesa suit to break her hus- band’s will by which his property was left to his nephews will be pushed. Success will net her between $20,000 and $100,000. -—-— -eeo-—~—-—~———- —Bargainsl Bargains!

Slattery. The-captain reported seventeen active members on the roll, of which number but eight were present, The apparatus was found to be in good order and the working members of the company re- ceived recognition for the same from Mayor Keeler and the chief engineer. From thence the party with a couple of reporters on the tag end of the pro- cession proceeded to the headquarters of the fire police where they were greet- ed by Captain Meeker and a well dis- ciplined corps of good looking police- men, in number 22 and in fine appear- ance 2,222,222, With another 2 too spare. The Mayor, the chief and Burgess Wheeler modestly complimented them on their fine appearance, and accepted them, the fire policb, as an escort up and over Norwalk’s Midway Plaisance Main street, to the home of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Co’s. house, where everything was found in the best'of order,aud where Capt.Wheater present- ed a solid front of twenty-one men. The chief seemed surprised as well as pleased at the excellent turnout of the members, and pretty speeches were made by councilmen who were former active members in the company, and assurance was given that everything would be done in their power to make the work of the company as effective as possible. The “inspectors” then called at the home of the Phoenix engine boys, and by Chief Prowitt were introduced to Lieut. Charles Smith, who was in com— mand of as fine a looking body of fire- men as was ever lined up for inspec- tion in the town of Norwalk. The Mayor in a few terse remarks gave deserved compliment to the men, and pronounced the fire department of Norwalk second to no voluntary de- partment in the state. Councilman Wheeler volunteered a neat little speech after being asked to do so by the mayor, in which he referr- ed in a complimentary way to Charles A. Burr as being a “ grey headed old fireman,” and himself as knowing the most about fires in the early morning when the “ cook ” had forgotton to put coals on the furnace, and incidentally when there was a fire at Capt. Decker’s that came very closely to burning a boarding school and his father out of’ house and home. Councilman Osborn confessed to hav- ing been a fireman himself, in fact had served seventeen years at the business ; had been drenched through at fires, was as had remarked Mayor chler and Councilman Wheeler proud of the Norwalk fire department and guaran- teed his hearty support in all their wants. Councilman Boyer modestly Voiced the sentiments of the other speakers and stated as they had done, that he had talked with insurance underwriters who wished to increase the rate of in- surance on Norwalk risks and believed that he had convinced them, the under- writers, that so far as lay in the power of the city authorities chief engineer Prowitt, his assistants, and the fire companies were doing splendid protec- tion against the ravages of fire. Councilman Pinneo made two con- fessions, 2'. e., that he had never been a fireman, but after seeing the splendid condition of the fire-fighters and their equipments he was a willing subject for confirmation. Councilman Adams was glad to find the department in such fine condition, but was for the betterment of the same if possible. . Councilman Chinery, (captain of the. engine cempany,) spoke of his com- pany (as he. could not very well help ,doing,) in flattering terms and iterated a copper fastened truth when he said “My men are always ready.” The board of visitors went into executive session, and in the meantime the Phoenix boys entertained their guests in a royal manner. Every public entertainment that the public is invited to in the name of chari- ty should be followed by the publica- tion of an audited statement of the re- ceipts and expenses. ‘ittqu“ ‘ - .515: 25. .2.

Supplicant and is De- , nounced By the Executive for His Former Insolent Attitude. J ACKSONVILLE, Fla.,‘Jan‘. 117.»—The Du- vall Athletic club has played its last card Gov. Michell and; has lost. That card consisted ‘ofa. personal appeal by Man- ' ager Bowden to the governor, begging him to cease his opposition and allow the club to pull off the Corbett-Mitchell mill publicly in Jacksonville. But the governor was obdurate and told Bowden that the fight should not take place in Jacksonville, or in Florida, if he could prevent it. The interview between Bowden and Gov. Mitchell took place in the. latter’s office at Tallahassee. Attorney—General Lamar was present. It is understood that Bowden’s attitude towards the gayernor was very much that of the supplicant. He almost implored the governor to let up, by Bowden’s humility, is said to have. their insolent attitude, especially in the matter of issuing the recent statements to the public, in which the governor’s, ‘con- duct towards the club. was, characterized as “contemptible and tyranical.” . .7 At the conclusion lot the interview, neither Bowden nor the'governor was dis- posed to talk at any length. When asked for a statement, Bowden replied: , . “You may say that the situatiOn- ‘is' un- changed. My interview? with the‘gover— nor has resulted in nothing. The fight, however, will take place. I advise all those who desire to witness the fight to assemble in Jacksonville on or before J an- uary 24." Nothing is left the club now but to make arrangements for bringing Mitchel and Corbett together in the woods. ' Manager Bowden’s advice for all those who desire to witness'the fight to assem- ble in Jacksonville is regarded here as in- dicating that the club people have thrown up the sponge so far as a public fight in Jacksonville is concerned and will Inow perfect plans by which Corbett and Mitchell can meet in secret and without danger of interference from the state an- thorities. _ , NoNews Yet of' Webster.
