J THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1897. V New Military Company. Thereis to be another meeting at the Armory to-night, of those interested in the formation of a first-class military company in Norwalk, and it is hoped that there will be a full attendance of young men interested in military affairs. As General Frost aptly remarked at the meeting Monday night, ‘a military training is the best thing in the world for a young man, and never fails to make him a better man afterwards. A Norwalk is sadly in need of a good military company, and one composed of the best young men of the town would, we are sure, be supported by the citizens and business men generally Turn out to-night boys and make this meeting a memorable one. The Peach Crop. The peach crop is ruined several times annually in the newspapers and yet peaches are usually to be had for _ the eating. It is feared, however, that the peach crop for this year is ruined for good and all in many sections. The drop of the thermometer to ztdegrees on Monday night was more than the open- . ins peach buds could stand, and the re- ports from the peach sections of the Cumberland Valley and the mountain sections of Maryland are to the effect but the great majority of the orchards are frozen beyond help for this year. It is not unlikely that the peach or- chards of Delaware and New Jersey have shared the same fate and that we may be compelled to eat California peachrs this year or go without. If this shall prgove to be the case, it will be a great misfortune to the peach growers and a great riya b1: everybody. .._____.__...___..___ ‘ Good Roads. Now is the time, for bicyclers and every man who is alive to the impor- tance of good roads to exercise their in- fluence to have'good roads law con- tinued on our statute books. An abso- lute repeal of thelaw' would be a public calamity. A step backwards. The state of Connecticut should never con- sent to any other course than a pro- gressive one.-—New Haven Leader. The Leader is quite right, and so strong an influence as the bicycle guild of the state, ought to be able to make itself felt to 'much purpose. The law should be retained and the good al- ready accomplished should be preserved and forwarded along the same lines in the future. but to do this will require some manifest demand on the part of the public, a. demand which ought to be snfliciently obvious,one would think, asit is, but about which no chances ahould be taken. Make it strong and universal and then it will be respected, and the wheelmen can do that more of- fiectually than can any other combina- tion in the state. , CO TAMUSEIdEN‘I'S. Carmen. In Boston, where Bosabel Morrison’s Version of ‘ ‘Carmen” had its initial pro- duction, the press teemed with praises. The sturdy staid old Herald said: “The performance was the very reincarna- tion of the gipsy of Merimee’s story. _ It is well worth seeing, well worth studying and well worth remembering, and will probably grow into a memora- ble characterization. The play is 'nOt only interesting; it is absorbing. an admirable parry of the attractive, movtng poWer of the characters. The play was admirably staged, one or two sets being notably good. There was a big house which was most enthusiastic, calling Miss Morrison after every act.” This is the play which is to appear at .30th Theatre tomorrow night. The New 8 Bells. “Eight Bells,” the pantomimic comedy which has had such wonder- iul success everywhere will be seen at ,Eoyt’s Theatre next Monday night. The Brothers Byrne are a rarely pro- gressive firm of clever artists, and in this season’s production will give their many admirers a rare treat, for they have perfected a number of new and startling tricks besides severil‘ scenic effects that are a marvel of stagec aft, An outlay of a large sum of money by those inimitable pantomimists results in one of the most realistic stage pro. auctions before the public. —It you want fish, clams, oysters, or anything else in the meat or fish line \ call at Gregory’sWall street market.
