It gives alarge number of biographical sketches of men and women eminent in all depart- ments of activity. Subjects are chosen with the view to gratify the public curi- osity for particulars of the life and career of people whose names appear in the public prints. In a word, their selection is timely. The sketches arc ably written, and their interest is heightened by ac- companying faithful and well-executed portraits. We anticipate that its enter- prising publisher will be rewarded with a large sale of his unique magazine, which supplies a need hitherto felt. The Biog- ra/plwr is sent to any address at 25 cents a copy, or 2.50 a year; and to foreign address for .1333 year; New York, 23 Park Row. , qr Independence day only six short weeks away. v—O————— —'—.—<¢ Chas.

Norwalk at 6:58,was approaching Stamford, it struck a man named Henry Wood, who was driving a team of horses across the track. Mr. Wood was so badly injured that he died the same evening.

Mr. Wood who was formerly of Pound Ridge, was well known here in Norwalk where, in' last December he married Miss Esther Daniels of Center Avenue. The remains were brought to Norwalk for burial. Mr. Wood was 27 years old. ’ C Hon. Wm. P. Fiero, who, it will be remembered, spoke in Norwalk dur- ing the recent campaign, has rcstgned his office as First AssiStaut_ U. S.

While in his position as U. S. Attorney, Mr. F. made many friends, and no man ever left that ofllce more kindly remem- bered and more truly regretted than he. His pleasing, courteous manners and his wonderful success made him a general favorite, and of him it is said that he never yet lost a case tried before a jury. In his private practice we wish and be- speak for Mr. Fiero all manner of success and a generous continuation of the public favor. - ——-—-———.--‘ .

E. Miller has gone to Vermont for horses. Deacon C. D. Smith departed this life His funeral was attended by Rev. W. J. Jennings, his pastor, on Thursday afternoon. Des- con Smith was very highly esteemed. He was a man of good mind, large attain- ments, and inflexible religious principles. He embraced the Saviour when nineteen years of age and in the different places of his abode was an earnest and energetic Christian. Though he was naturally modest and retiring, his love for his Saviour and his strong principles caused him to be ready for work in the Divine vineyard. He served as elder for a time in the Presbyterian church in Fayette- ville, N. Y., and was chosen deacon of the Congregational church here in 1854. He was very acceptable and efficient as an office bearer in the church and as a Sabbath school teacher. For a number of years he had been laid by from activity and suffered greatly from physical debili- ty and pain and confinement. He gradu- ally failed until suddenly he was com- pletely prostrated and in a few hours ceased to live. A good man has gone to his rest, WESTPORT. Mr. W. E. Sturges has leased for three years Mrs. John H. Gray’s dwelling ad- joining Memorial church, Theo. E. King now occupying it, will remove into the Alden mansion, which he has purchased. One day last week Mrs. Huldah Meeker, of Crosshighway, came to Westport shop- ping. Before doing so she placed upward of $70 under an earthen platter in her milkroom for safe keeping. The result shows this act was not wise, for a young man named Miller in Mrs. Meekcr's exu- ploy, being not only a pie eater, but a good pie searcher, took advantage of the situation and made a “still hunt" in the milk room. It is known he had often been in the room when he felt like eating between meals, previous to that day. Of course he scented the platter, and sus- pecting the “crust,” appropriated the same that others might not be tempted. In due timeMrs. M. returned, but instead of finding the money in the milk room she found it out. Miller has not been on the premises since. Several articles of valuable clothing and a fine music box taken from the house of Mr. Fred. T. Redford, Green's Farms, Sunday night, 13th, have not been heard from. The thieves are also yet to be found. On May 24, Queen Vic’s bit.hday and ' Brooklyn bridge opening day, G. A. R. Post, No. 03, of Westport, will be organ- ized.

Keeler, of Bridgeport, chief mustering officer, and others will be present. Douglas Fowler Post, South Norwalk, will be represented. Capt. Burr Smith, of Norwalk, was here Thursday, looking after the interests of the propeller line for which he is agent. In view of the fact that Joseph Allen and John Batterson, arrested for alleged tak- ing part in throwing down astairway, goods belonging to Byrne & McKenna, were discharged from custody by Justice Finch, it is asked, “Why keep Mrs. John Burns shut up in jail at Bridgeport, when'it Is known she is not one-half as guilty of the offense charged as the two gentlemen released I ’ Mrs. Shepardneelda, Adams, husband and daughter, of Brooklyn, passed Sunday with her grandfather, Mr. Elnathan Wheeler. - Most of the teachers in town attended the Institute Friday and Saturday, at South Norwalk. ‘ The public supply of ice is narfowed down to Mr. John N.

Should the weather prove line this aft. crnoou there will be a large audience at the Congregational church to witness the installment of the Rev. J. E. Tuttle as pastor. There is no change in the pro- gramme of exercise as outlined in the GAZETTE last week. It is expected the members of the church will feel specially happyas they meet to-day in the assur- ance as hinted, that every dollar of church indebtedness is either canceled or provided for. ‘ ' White frost Friday morning. District Deputy G. M., of Connecticut, J. H. Swartout, of Stamford, will make an official visit to Temple Lodge, F. & A. M., Thursday evening. He came on a bicycle. He searched the town records for titles to land across which somewhere in the dim future the Hartford & Harlem R. R. will cross. He found all he sought and departed as he came. His name is John H. Whiting. D. L. Coley, of Weston, has a corps of men at work getting his foundry ready for active operations. Machinery and pat- terns arrived from New York last week. The First National Bank in its quarterly report announces a surplus of $54,378. Mr. Gershom' Perry says. “that, as a stone layer, he has during the past fifty years handled stone enough to build a tower larger than that of Babel. _ Mr. Thomas McGlynn is hauling timber and lumber from Norwalk with which Mr. Dimon Coley of Weston, will re-hnild his barns lately burned. Daniel Flynn on'Tliursday took a horse and wagon belonging to Thomas Quinlan of Bradley’s Axe factory, for a ride. He did it as a “joke” and Quinlan got the team back, but construed Flynn’s per- \ formance as of criminal intent and had him arrested. The afiair was finally eel- tled satisfactorily. . The fair Thursday and Friday evenings at National Hall was a success financially, and especially so socially, as the best ’people in town assembled ‘in the hall to assist in making it so. Large quantities of objects in macrame were" offered and disposed of, showing that the new art is well understood and practiced here. The ladies earned the money received on the two nights, and of course will make good use of it. Several _Westport parties attended the Langtry entertainment inlBridgeport Fri- day night. The work of re-laying the track of the ’ Horse Railroad continues. , If blossoms are a good indication,pears and cherries will be a drug in market this season. Two gentlemen vifling the Lecs’ Man- ufacturing company’s mill, were looking at the great chimney just built by Henry Seymour, a Norwalk mason. Said one, “How many feet high is it'N’ “Weill about 175‘ feet.” “How high do you think ,it is i’" “I should say 115" was the reply. Mr. Lees who overheard them said, “We paid for 70 feet.” Things are different as seen by different eyes. The company are putting in a splendid 120 horse power engine, boilers supplied by ex-Govcrnor Bigelow’s company, New Haven, nnd'on inquiring it was learned that the mill was turning out vast quantities of the new material known as macramednnd the demand is so much larger than the supply that hands are called on to work daily from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m. A large order for Miner’s lamp wick’ for the Redding Railroad company is being filled.

Not as cheap as some sell it in Town, but as reason- able asan Sugar Candy can be sold. People do not realize the depraved character of some of the Candy sold throughout this country. Much of it is made out of terraalba or white clay with enough gum to stick it together. enough sugar to sweeten it, and enough coloring matter to make it look gay.
