lature, the Superior Court at Hartford, on
Tuesday last, appointed the following

According to the terms of the statute
these coroners are all lawyers, and were
appointed upon the recommendation of
the State’s Attorneys. They are required
to give bonds in $3,000 for the faithful
performance of their duties, and are re-
quired to appoint medical examiners, one
for each town in the respective counties,
who are bonded in the sum of $1,000
each, and whose duty it shall be to act as
coroner in cases of death not caused by
the criminal act or omission of another.
In case, however, the medical examiner
shall see reason to suspect that the person
whose body he has viewed came to his or
her death by the criminal act, omission
or carelessness of others he must at once
notify the coronerlhimselfmho will person-
ally act. In case he should find it neces-
sary, the coroner may, by warrant, cause a
jury of six men to be summoned who
shall assist him in the investigation; the
coroner may also order a public or a pri-
vate inquest as he may deem proper. The
person who first reports the finding of a
body to the medical examiner, is entitled
to a fee of fifty cents to be paid by such
medical examiner. The following fees
shall be paid by the coroner :—
A sum not exceeding five dollars for ser-
vices rendered in bringing to land the dead
body of a person found in any of the waters
of his count ; areasonable sum for pictures
of tho_dead ody ; a reasonable sum for keep-
in and removing dead bodies, and a reason-
alSe sum for other incidental expenses; to
the medical cxalmuer, ten cents per mile for
travel, and for an' external examination, five
dollars; for an autopsy, twenty dollars; to
the ofiicer serving any process or pa era, the
some fees as for similar services ren ered in
criminal prosecutions, and for attendance on
the coroner when requested, one dollar and
fifty cents per da ; to witnesses, the same
fees as in crimina prosecutions; but police
officers of cities shal not be paid any fee by
the coroner for‘scrving papers, testifying be-
fore, or attending on him.
A meeting of the newly appointed
county coroners was held in Hartford
Thursday. The object was to talk over
the provisions of the law and secure har-
mony of procedure. Their assistants Will
shortly be appointed.
Gov. Buokingham’s Statue.
The artist selected to make the “Buck-
ingham Statue,” has informed the com—
mission appointed by the Legislature that
the same will be completed so far as to
allow it to be exhibited to them this week.
When it is ready to be placed in position
in the “battle-flag rotunda” of the State
House, there will probably be ceremonies
of a public character which will draw to-
gether all of the veteran soldiers of the
State. At the meeting of the Armyand
Navy Club of Conu., at Saybrook Point
last week, a committee consisting of Col.
Henry Allen, Major J. C. Kinney, Pri-
vate C. H. Pine, 00]. George I’. Bissell
and Private P. C. Lounsbury was ap-
pointed to make arrangements on the part
of the Club for said ceremonies. Similar
action will probably be taken by the regi-
mental associations at their reunions this
summer, and it is confidently expected
that there will be a demonstration which
will honor the memory of our illustrious .
“ War Governor. ”
A Wonderful Land Slide.
A severe storm, of several days duration
caused one of the heaviest and most won-
derful land slides on Flume mountain,
. Franconia Notch, last Wednesday, ever
known in the White mountains. About
a mile from the 'Flumc house plainly seen
from there, a great volume of water rush-
ing through the fiume carried rocks
weighing many thousand tons, through to
the Pemigewassct river, half a mile below.
It has made this celebrated place more
interesting than ever, having extended the
high walls of the flume 801110.500 feet.
The scene as the water subsided was grand
beyond description. No pecuniary dam-
~ age was done. ‘
State Board of Health.
The state board of health has made the
following appointments of supervisors of
homes for negligent and indigent child-
ren: Dr. J. S. Butler of Hartford, mem-
ber for Hartford county; Professor W.
H. Brewer of New Haven, member for
New Haven county; Professor C. A.
Lindsiey of New Haven, member for
Fairfield county; A. B. Lippitt, Esq, of
New London, member of New London
and Windham counties; Dr. C. W.
Chamberlain of Hartford, member for
Litehfield and Tolland counties; Dr.
Wilson of Meriden, member for Middlcsex'
county.
- Gen. Wm. F. Clark.
The axe has fallen across the neck of
our former Norwalk boy, Gen Clark, and
he who has so long been the able, as well
as the voluble Chief Clerk of the Internal
Revenue bureau at Washington, sis Chief
Clerk no; more. Gen Clark is a free
' thinker and a freer talker, and it is gos-
sipped about Washington that he was
not as fullsome in his praises of the New
Commissioner Evans, as he used to be of
his Old Chief Raum and ergo, off goes his
head. The country is safe, however, for
Commissioner Evans still retains the really
valuable services of General Clark as a
travelling Revenue Inspector.
“That Thy Days May Be Long.”
The Bridgeport Standard in a late issue
speaks of an old gentleman who is living
and who has lived under the administra-
tion of every president the United States
has had.. We have one here who can say
the some. The venerable Eli B. Bennett
who was for over fifty years in succession
our town treasurer, ~was born in 1792, the
year that George Washington was inang:
mated forghisfisccond term of office. He
is in good health to-day. ‘ ‘
Ferris' Hams.
We desire to:call the attention of the
public to the advertisement of F. A.
Ferris & Co’s hams, bacon, etc., in an-
other column. These are, to our minds,
the best of all in the market and one trial
will surely convince those who delight in
good meats .of that kind. R. P. Beatty
has the sole Norwalk agency, and reports
a large trade in that line. Try them and
be convinced of their excellence.
Attention, Small Boy!
The Borough Clerk has had printed and
posted up in conspicuous places, the Bor—
ough by-law concerning the explosion of
fire-crackers, £70., in the Borough. Also
the by-law relating to bathing without the
necessary covorings. For the violation of
these laws, the one so offending is subject
to a fine of $10.00.
Gen. Ewing Dead.
Gen. Charles Ewing -of Ohio, died in
Washington, D. 0., last Wednesday morn-
ing of pneumonia, after a short illness.
Hawaii a brother-in-iaw of General Sher-
' mun, gull served on his staff during the
war. ‘
The Lakeville Centennial.
Want of space forbids a lengthened ac-
count of: the festivities at Lakcville, last
week. A delegation of masons from 'this
town attended, and suffice it to say, thor-
oughly enjoyed the occasion.
The H. E. June Festival.
The S. S. June Festival of the Second ._
M. E. Church, held at the Opera House
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
last week, proved to be more acceptable,
if that were possible, than the promises
held out in regard to it. Briefly stated it
was a success, as the strawberries and
cream attended to Wednesday evening
after readings by Miss Laucashire, sing-
ing by Miss Bliss of Waterbury, and Miss
'Broughton of N. Y., finely attest. No
higher compliment need be paid these
ladies than to say they will be heartily
received, should they decide again to visit
us. But the event of the Festival was
Thursday evening, when the. “Flower
Queen,” or the “Coronation of the Rose,”
was given. As the rose is indeed the
queen of all flowers, it was meet that the
queen of her sex should personatc the
same, and |Danb.ury, which abounds in
everything good, not that there is a .dis—
position to under estimate the resident
beauties of our own borough, supplied the
commodity in the person of Miss Carrie
Allen, who, both in singing and acting
made a fine impression. Mr. H. B. Price,
as the recluse, performed and sang excel-
lently and the young ladies representing
by their attire the chief members of the
flower family, were elegant in their
specialties and pleasantly satisfactory in
every way to a larger audience than the
Opera House usually holds. All the solos,
ducts and choruses, and the accompani-
ments on the piano may not be left out,
were charmingly rendered, as the applause
which greeted each member amply
showed. At its close, as on the previous
evening, refreshments were served and
everybody was happy, particularly after
the agent of the exchecquer reported favor
ably. It is to be hopedthe S. S. will re-
peat this or a similar performance soon.
A Brave Girl.
The house of C. N. Andrew in Willi-
mantic was destroyed by fire last Saturday
morning. The fire had smouldercd in
the attic for some time, but as soon as it
had eaten through the roof the whole ed-
ifice was quickly in a blaze, and burned
to the ground. The barn was in imminent
danger at one time, and a horse tied in
one of the stalls was heard snorting and
thrashing about in terror. Efforts were
made to get him out, but he was kicking
and plunging so frantically that no man
dared go near him. Seeing this, Sadie, a
daughter of Mr. Andrew, aged about 16,
watching an opportunity, glided into the
stall and putting her arms around the
horse‘s neck called him by name and ppokc
soothingly to him. The animal quieted
down at once and permitted her to lead
him to safety through the smoke. Among
other insurance Mr. Andrew had a policy
in the Norwalk Fire Insurance company,
which loses some five or six hundred dol-
late. Mr. Geo. R. Cowles visited the
place soon after the fire, satisfactorily ad.
justed and promptly paid the loss.

“And They DID Eat.”
Thedirectors of the Central National
Bank met last Friday and declared a semi
annual dividend of four per cent., after
which they sat down to one of caterer
Mead’s first-class dinners, served in the
directors room. Something prcycd upon '
said directors’ minds (or stomachs) and
they were altogether unable to do that
justice which the excellent spread seemed
to merit. Upon their withdrawal many
of the choice viands were untouched,
seeing whicb,Casbicr Curtis hastily as—
sembled a few friends, among which the
representative of the GAZETTE was not
forgotten, and bade them “eat, drink and
be merry.” His directions were literally
complied with, and after about an hour‘s
steady work the table looked as bare as a.
wheiit field after an army of grasshoppers
had been through it. At the close of the
feast, fragrant Havanas were circulated
and the party broke up, wishing Cashier
Curtis and his bank another prosperous
six months, and a larger dividend next
time. ' '
Dividends.
The directors of- the Fairfield County
National Bank have declared a, dividend
of four per cent. from the earnings of
the past six months, payable on and after
July 2d. ”
The directors of the Central National.
Bank have declared a semi annual divi-
dend of four per cent., payable on and
after July 2d. , _
The directors of the Savings Society
have declared their usual semi-annual
dividend of two per cent., payable on and
after July 10.
The First National Bank of South Nor-
walk, has .‘also declared a semi-annual
dividend of four per cent., payable on and
after July 4.
Another New Toy.
A new toy for the Fourth of July has
been put on the market. It consists of a
small metal cup, in the aperture of which
is placed a wooden ball an inch or two in
diameter. At the bottom of the cup is a
small hole in which a firecracker is to be
placed,'leaving the stem out. When the
fire-cracker explodes, the wooden hall
shoots upward a distance of over 100 feet
it is claimed: This affords no end of
amusement and moreover the contrivance
appears to _bc comperitively free from
danger, unless the small and inquisitive
boy, bending over the mortar, gets plugged
in the nose with the wooden ball as it
‘goes up or a rap on the cranium in the
descent.

i ’l‘rackman Killed. '
A trackman named Shannon, in the em-
ploy of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road, who resides at Southport,
was struck and killed Friday afternoon
by the local express train which arrives
here a little before 5 p. m., near Greens
Farms station. Particulars as to the ex-
act manner in which deceased came to his
death are meagre, but it is said he stopped
from one track to the other to avoid a down
train, and did not notice the approach of
the express. There is a sharp curve near
the station. The body, which was con-
siderably mangled, was taken to his home
if Southport.
The Consolidated’s Bonds.
The recently issued 4 per cent. bonds of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad company are in great demand
among financial men. The bonds are se-
cured by the only mortgage on the double
tracked railroad from Harlem to Spring-
field. They arc registered in denomina-
tions of $1,000 and $5,000, payable Junc
lst, 1903. The price now charged for
them is 103%. The bonds are exempt from
taxation.
A Soldier Killed.
An inmate of Fitch’s Soldiers’ Home at
Darien, named Herman O. Evarts, was
killed by the train ' at the depot in Stam-
ford, about seven o’clock yesterday morn-
ing. He was Ncrippled from frozen feet
and was admitted to the home upon the
recommendation of Col. George P. Bissell
of Hartford.
To Holders of Check Stamps.
Checks drawn on the National Banks
after July 1, will not require the two cent
stamp now in use. Those who have a
'quautity of the stamps on hand at that
time may have them redeemed at the
bank from whence the purchase was
made.
I Off Again.
Though not “officially” announced, it
is probable that the Neptuncs will start on.
their 1883 cruise August 8th.
Sometime next month-the Wheelersr
Wilson band of Bridgeport will probably
give a moonlight excursion to Roton
Point. The date has not yet been an-
nounccd.
Daring llepredations!
~If Gang of Burglars Infosting tho llpper Part of
' this 'l‘ovin and New Canaan.
AN nooouxr or truism would
On Wednesday afternoon .‘while Mr.
William E. Stiles and family wcrc picnic-
ing at ,ltoton, their house on the New
Canaan road was entered by burglars
who, having abundant time, thoroughly
ransacked the house and carried off some
$40 which Mr. Stiles had left in a bureau
drawer. The thieves effected an entrance
through a cellar door‘wbicli had been left
open by Mr. S. ,' and from thence went up
stairs with life result above stated.
On the following night (Thursday) the
residence of
' JOSIAH KELLOGG.
was the point tf' attack. Here the thieves
cut the lower slat in one ofthe shutters
and inserted their hands but'found the
shutters were nailed and they could not
open them. They then walked mind the
house trying all the blinds but could open
none and finally gave iip the attempt. A
lot of burnt matches were found under
the windows the next morning,where the
thieves had struck them to get some light.
After giving up their a tempt on Mr.
Kellogg’s house they proceeded to the
residence of Mr. . , "
, mimir scanner, .
near by, where they succeeded in effect-
ing an entrance. Mr. Bradley’s family,
as was their custom,upon rctiring,had left
the pantry window open. The burglars
noting this fact,_ cut the lower slut in the;
blind, reached in and unfastcned the
shutters, and then reached through the
open window and unlocked the outside
door which was close to the window.
They then entered thc'house and by the
aid of matches, quantities of which were
found in all the rooms the next morning,
secured sufficient ' light to ransack the
rooms. They first paid attention 5to the
pantry, taking therefrom two loaves 'of'
bread, some eggs, and a ham. The latter
however, Was left bchi‘nd’in the hurry of '
their exit. The thieves then entered
the dining room and secured eight
solid silver spoons which were highly
prized by Mr. Bradley, they having been-
in his family nearly eighty years ' They
ulst) secured two silver thimblcs and a
pair of valuable spectacles. In a table
drawer there was alurgc quantity of solid
silver which the thieves overlooked. Mr.
Bradley had been to New York that day .
and feeling somewhat tired had gone to
bed leaving his pants, in which was con-
siderable money, lying on a chair in his
bedroom, adjoining the dining room.
This room the burglars did not enter,
consequently the money was not touched.
They took a number of forksrnnd napkin
rings and went out doors to examine
them and, upon finding them only plated,
left them behind. The forks were found
next morning, concealed undcrthe stone
door step, while the napkin rings were
lying. broken on the step, the thieves
having stamped on them. About 3 a. in.
Mr. Bradley awoke, got up and went to
_ window to see if the coming day would
be pleasant nml,as the intruders evidently
left in a hurry, be supposes that the noise
he then made scared them away. Mr.‘ B.
had a number of lire-arms hour at hand
and says he regrets no: having heard the
rascals as he would have spoiled their
little adventure. 2 The first intimation he
had of‘thc burglary was on arising in the
morning to see} the burnt matches and
open door. It is a singular ,fact that Mr.
B. is a cousin of Mr. Gershom Bradley of
Suugatuck, whose house was recently on.
tered in the same way.
On the following night (Friday) the
thieves went to New Canaan, and the first
name on their- Vlsiting list proved to be
that of Mr.
JAMES from,
a member of the firm of Stchcn lloy t’s
Sons. Here they forced an entry the same
way as at Mr. Bradley’s but only secured
a few siIVer spoons which belonged to
'- Hcyt’s mother, Mrs. Stephen lloyt, but
which were much prized by her.
The next call was at thehousc of Mr,
‘ . 1 z} cache,
just above, ont’s nursery. Here they
succeeded in getting quite a large lot of
silver and a sum of. money, aggregating
the value of $100; They were not heard
at any place they visited and in each case
their tactics and mode of entry were the
same. \
The thefts areundoubtedlythe Work of ,
Norwalk parties, and suspicions point.
strongly to' a young man well known’
here, but who does not bear the best of
reputations. ' There is however, no direct
evidence as yet, but private parties'are on
the scent, and doubtless ere long, the of—
fenders will be brought to justice. The
number of the deprcdations coming so
close together have fawakened a feeling of .
insecurity among people living ’in and
around town which can only be dispelled
by the arrest and conviction of the Offen-
ders. For daring, these cases have scl-
dom been equalled, as each night there
was bright moonlight. All the facts in
the cases show the robberies to have been
committed by a party or parties who are
familiar with the. houses and the habits
of the inmates. We trust we shall soon
have the pleasure of chroniclingthc arrest
and imprisonment of the daring thieves.

, ‘ “RANK AND ran."
At the banquet following the business
meeting of the “Army and Navy Club of
Connecticut," given at Fenwick Ilail. Say-
brook Point, on Friday night last, Private
1’. C. Lounsbury, of", Ridgeficid, who
served» in Co. C, 17th Regiment Conn.
Voluntcrs, responded to the toast of “The
Rank and File," and his response is said
to have been “the speech of the evening.’
Through the courtesy of the Secretary of
the Club, we are enabled to present the
same to our readers :-
Mu. PRESIDENT, Gunrnsnmx AND Commons:
I am not sure but that it would have been
most fitting, had this toast been drunk in si-
lence. There are certain rare gifts of' intel-l
lect that excite our admiration and we give it
utterance because the emotion is only on the
surface, and our souls have not been aroused
to their inmost depths. We speak our delight
at the play of the fountain, but on the wide
expanse of the ocean we gaze in silent awe.
One might speak of the genius of the Com-
tho “rank and file”find words to measure the
power of these common virtues that stood the
shock of battle with under bad leadership,
and from the start made the overthrow of the
Rebellion inevitable. ,, . .
‘ You know’w‘hat manner of men these pri-
vate soldiers, were; They came from the
store and the workshop, from the school and
the farm with the dew of youth upon their
brows, and their loins 11‘de With the
strength or early manhoo . Thoyleft all
those common joys of his that aro tire sweet-
est and the best, home and all its endear-
ments, not because they loverbtheso less,
not because they loved their country
more, but because duty called and only in_
answering that call couldthey be worthyof
home and its 'oys, of their country and its
.rotection'. hey went notfbecauso they
oved a soldier’s life, but that duty With gal-
lant soldiership might crown a noble man-
h o .
(They know, too, for what they went. They
were men of intelligence, men of thought.
They were men such as grow only in a land
where the means of self-culture and the mo-
tives for its attainment are held out to every
citizen only in a free refiublie where the
schoolhouse is on every hr and in every val-
ley. Their vision was clopded by no personal
ambition, b no false philosoph of political
schools an so, far more clear y than may
of their leaders, they saw the uncompromis-_
ing element‘of the conflict, the doadliness of
the struggle that had Justvbegun. They felt
that'itwaa not to be the victory of a faction,
but the restoration of the union meant the an-
head against it", that the war must go on, not
only until the flag floated over every fort and
arsenal of the government, but also until all
over this broad land it carried liberty and pro-
tection'to eve man whose heart beat for it
in loyal thro s. If Lincoln . could have
brushed aside the politicians who stood be-
tween .him and the “ lai'n people,” for whose
common sense he ha so profound a res cct,in
whose loyalty ho had so implicit a con deuce,
if he could have passed by the military com-
manders, and listened'w the talks of the com-
mon soldiers around the camp-fires of the
nation, I believe the Proclamation of Emanci-
ation would have come a year sooner than
it did, and hundreds of millions of money and
hundreds of thousands of lives would have
been saved to the Republic.
The private soldiers knew not only for
what they were going, but also to what they
were going. They felt that it was no holiday
arado to which they were marching, that the
wrongs of generations could not be wiped out
in the pomp and pagentry of a 'day. They
were not drawn by the love of' military fame,
for they knew that to them death was far more
certain than promotion. How could any
special glory come to any one of them, when
every comrade was a hero! No, it was to
the private soldier’s life they were going. It
was to the long exhausting march, with ts
hunger and its thirst. It was to the weary
night-watch with all its dreariness and danger.
Their path was through hardship and priva-
tion, through cold and storm and tempest, on
to the battlefield with all its horrors. And
then and there it might be the wiping out 01'
all this earthly life in a single rifle-flash, or
worslo than that, wounds and languishing and
dent .
No doubt some enlisted in obedience to a
passing impulse, and with no proper realiza-
tion of the toils and dangers that would sure.
ly come. But the vast majority of the volun-
teers knew all that they Were choosing, and
deliberately chose it in the light of the high-
est motives that can govern human action-
No wonder that a righteous cause was victo-
rious when men like these made up the rank
and file. Soldiers suclr as they lave been
scattered through all races and through all
time ; but tlicy‘cau form the mass of an army
only in a free republic where the church spire
rises in every hamlet. Such a soldicry is not
made in camp. It grows up in the home and
bythc fireside. It comes not from the false
teaching that the State is everything and the
man is nothing. It is rather the outgrowth
of the truth that the development of individ-
ual man is the end for which the universe
was created, and that the State and even civil
liberty itself with all the sacrcdness that God
has stamped upon it are only the means
which Heaven has ordained for this higher
end. He who on the hills of J udea taught
the incomparable value of the human soul
and that itshould live forever when all the
kingdoms and governments of earth had
crumbled into nothingnoss, was educating a
nobler soldiery than had ever followed the
standard of Alexander or Ciesar. In the story
of the gas els was preached a sublimcr sol-
diership t an Mahomet over proclaimed in
the pa es of the Koran.
You ave'hcar'd ahundred times, for it is
written in the text books of all the military
schools of all ages, that obedience is the first
requisite of'the rank and file, that it is the
first and last test of the true soldier. No
doubt this is true, and yet before you can
estimate the value of' the soldier, before you
can tell for how much his obedience stands
you must go to the motive from which it
springs. The hireling of a monarchy may be
obedient in the march, but when the crisis of
the conflict comes he flees because he is a
hircling. . The conscript of a despotism,
dragged into the ranks through fear, obeys
through fear until in the anguish of the battle
he feels a greater dread and then he too
gives way. But the volunteer of the Republic
has in the prompting of his obedience that
diighest combination of all human qualities,in-
telligence and love. He gave himself up to his
country, he was willing to give his life, why
then should he quail in the presence of dan-
ger. To such a soldier then might come the
blanching of a cheek, or the tightening of‘a
lip, but there can be no cowardice inhis soul.
An army whose rank and file‘ are men like
these may be driven back by the force of
numbers or be compelled to yield through
inferiority of position, but can never be de-
moralized. -
Obedient to its leader, it has all the sure
movements of a well regulated machine, but
with its powers intensified, for each man is: in
himselfa living centre of force. To‘ such an
army struggling for the right, single battles
may bring victory or defeat but the cam-
paign is sure to end in triump ‘.
We learn something of the worth of obedi-
ence when we come to consider its exceeding
great reward. We all have read how from
one of old, for one single act of obedience,
came the promise, "that from him should
spring a nation, that his seed should be as
the stars of the ch in multidude.” I speak
in all reverence w fan I saythat in the rank
and file of the Union Army there were thou-
sands who by the willing offering of them-
selves on the altar of their country, gave to
the world as striking examples of sublime
obedience as did the “Father of the faithful.”
Their names are not in the Holy writ, but
side by aide with Abraham’s they are written
in the archives of Heaven, and as a memorial
for their virtues, a race has been raised into
liberty, a nation purified through suffering.
The war is over. The rank and file have
gone to their homes. It remains for 11s in
the huniblo sphere of the private citizen to
emulate those virtues they showed on the field
of battle. To the state we will give unselfish
labor, to its laws we must render a glad
obedience, and so we shall do our part to
merit the page of the great historian who in
the far ofl‘futuro shall trace the rise of the
Great Republic that was never to fall, and
who shall write that the great rebellion was
overthrown not alone by the genius of the
Union Commanders, but by the patience and
courage of the rank and flle, that the Republic
went on ever increasing [in bencficcnee and
power, not because of the Millions of“ its
statesmen, but because of' the intel igcuce
and the. purity, the obedience and the patriot-
ism of its private citizens.

Pupils’ Recitals“
Saturday’s Bridgeport Morning News
thus speaks of an entertainment held in
that city Friday evening, in which three
Norwalk young ladies took part :-—“The
pupils of Mr. Waltch. Ilall held-a piano rc-
cital last evening at the rooms of the Sci.
cntific Society- We have not space to on-
largc upon the efforts of each' individual
perjormcr, but it is sufficient to say that
one and all gave tangible evidence of the
thorough instruction they had received
while under Mr. Hall’s accomplished tui-
tion. The audience present expressed
their gratification in complimentary ac.
knowlcdgcments. The following-was the
progummc: . Concert in C Minor, 3d

Aufswung, Mazurka, Gar-ottodtliss Sadie

Miss Lutic ll. Merrill, Norwalk.
Many of the renditions were honored
with hearty applause."
The Acrobatic Pleador. '
The New Haven Register says: “Rer-
dell, one of the star route thieves indicted
in company with Messrs. Dorsey and Bra-
dy, plead guilty. He publicly confessed
before the court at Washington that he
and Dorsey and Brady robbed the govern-
ment. The jury, however, saw fit to ac
quit Dorsey and Brady, and Rcrdell woke
up to find himself an honest man in spite
of his confession of guilt." He must feel
a great deal as the horse thief did after
being tried and acquitted. When asked
what he thought of the verdict, he said it
was all right. “Now, didn’t you steal
that horse?" said the questioner. “Well,”
was the answer, “ before the trial I
thought I did, but since the verdict was
rendered, I don’t know whether I stole
the horse or not."
An undertakcr’s sign ornaments the near
entrance of the post office. Stamford flar-
ald. Probably he has an ey e to the dead

No, he’s sign for the death of the post-
master who was recently struck by a
Comet.
. WESTERN Phineas—In an address read
before the Kansas Editorial Association
the other day Mr. F. G. Apams, its His-
torical Secretary, said that State has more
newspapers to the population than any
State cast of the Mississippi River, but
'not as many as some States west of that
river. For while Kansas has a newspa-
per to every 3,000 persons, Nebraska has
one to ever 2,400; Colorado one to every
1,900; Dakota one to every 1,800, and
Arizona one to every 1,500. .
