NORWALK GAZETTE.
Tuesday August 7, 1883.
Special Notice—-A Serial Story.
In the issue of the Sam-WEEKLY GAZETTE,
August 11, we shall begin the republication of
the intensely interesting local story, entitled:
“Adventures of a Merchant’s Clerk,” which
was written for the Guam: by the late Sena-Q
tor O. S. FERRY in 1846.‘ As the story is of
special local interest and will run through
several papers, it is of importance that the
first number be secured. . _ '
our NEW VENTURE ,
When, in the dawning year of the cen-
tury, the first newspaper ever printed in
western Connecticut was issued from
this office, the town of Norwalk (then'
embracing large portions of present West-
port. Wilton, New Canaan and Darien)
did not contain one-tenth as many inhab-
itants as are to-day dwelling within the"
limits of either our borough or city. It
then the old Gazrarrufissued once a week,
could live and thrive on such a meagre
basis of population, why should there not
be found room and favor for our‘ semi-
, weekly issue ? Our whole town has un-
dergone'a most marvelous change and ad-
vancement in all the elements of growth
and prosperity during the last two de-
cades, and no one can forecast its grander,
possible future. Merchandizing and man-
ufacturing have increased here more
than a hundredfeld, since the weekly
GAZETTE was first issued, and to-day
there is vastly more material and need for
a paper of semi-weekly issue, than for a
weekly at the beginning of this century.
Our new enterprise launched to-day, is no
new thingincontemplation. It has been
maturely considered by us for years, and
many sanguine friends have ofttimes urged
its issue during the last decade. The
time has not seemed fitting for its issue
till now, and now “it has come to stay.”
In our first number there are many
mechanical and other defects we shall
correct hereafter. Our purpose is to
make it a bright, newsy sheet, clean and
elevating in tone, and so adapted to the
wants of this community as to déserve
and win popular favor and support. We
shall aim to publish something of every-
thing interesting to our'intclligent and re- .
fined constituency.
We are compelled to study brevity, but
shall give all the local news, not in a
heavy, crude shape, from which the read-
er must pick out his choice morsels, but
nicely and cujoyably prepared like a tooth-
some dish for the hungry. It will make
the people’s interests its interests, and
strive to make itself a need in every ofilce,
workshop, store and home. So, “With
malice toward none, and charity for all,”
and believing the world large enough for
all, the semi-weekly GAZETTE greets you,
and with a confidence that is not. born of
cgotism, asks for your favor and your pat-
ronage. To any into whose hands our
first number may fall we would say if you
like us, try us, and kindly induce your
neighbors to do likewise.
The New Two Cent Postage.
According to the act passed by the last
congress and approved March 3, the new
regulation, substituting a 2-cent stamp in
.place of one of the 3-ccnt denomination
for a letter weighing half an ounce or the
fraction thereof, for distribution through
the United States, will go into effect Octo-
ber 1. The new stamp will be a metallic
red, and on a plain tablet in the center will
be the head of Washington from Houdou’s
bust. Above the tablet will be the in-
scription “United States Postage,” and
beneath the bust will be the words “Two
Gents." The new regulation will of
‘ course require a 4-cent stamp for double
weight, and this design embraces the head
of Jackson similar to that on the present
2-ccut stamp and envelope.
The postal department will revise the
schedule;of prices of stumped envelopes
by discontinuing the Scout envelopes and -
substituting 2-ceut and 4-cent envelopes
as may be necessary. No arrangement
has yet been made for the redemption of
3-cent stamps and envelopes in the hands
of postmasters, or for exchange by post-
masters of such stamps and envelopes as
are now in the hands of private holders.
The postmasters through the country have
been notified not to order any more 3-cent
stamps or envelopes than they have actual
need for. Of course parties holding old
designs of stamps and envelopes can use
them after Octoeer 1, but they cannot
have them exchanged for money or other
stamps at the post office after that date.
There are a large number of business
men who order stamped envelopes through
the post. ofilce department with their place
and kind of business stamped on the cor-
ner of the envelope. Requisitions for the
new class of envelopes will be received at
the post office after Septemper 1 but will
not be delivered till October 1. Parties
desiring stamped euvbiopcs of this nature
will do well to order them as soon after
September 1 as possible so as to relieve
the strain on the post ofllce department
after October 1.
The Coming State Elections.
Kentucky is the next state to hold an
election this year. A governor and other
state officers and a legislature will be
chosen on August 6. The electors will
also vote upon the question of holding a
convention to revise the constitution of
the state. The republicans are making a
warmly aggressive campaign" on local
issues. and the democrats appear to an-
ticipatc a falling off in their vote. Texas
holds a special election August 14 to vote
upon four proposed amendments to the
constitution. Iowa and" Ohio vote for
state ofllcers on October 9, and the latter
state also upon three proposed amend-
ments. The remaining elections for the
year will occur on November 6.
For the Naval Cadetship.
Congressman-elect E. W. Seymour has
announced that a competitive examination
of candidates to fill a vacancy In the
United States Naval academy for the
Fourth Congressional district, which is
composed of Fairfield and Litchfield
counties, will be held at the Atlantic hotel
in Bridgeport August 12th. -Thc regula-
tions of the navy department provide that
candidates for appointment. must be over
fourteen and nude; eighteen years of age,
actual residents of the congressional dis-
trict from which they are nominated, of
good moral character, physically sound
amiable to pass a satisfactory examina-
tion in reading, writing, spelling, arith-
metic, geography, English grammar, his-
tory and algebra.
Connecticut’s Credit.
Proposals for the three and a half pu‘
ccnt.bonds of the state,which were recently
advertised in the GAZETTE, wrrc opened
at the slate treasurer’s oflicc at Hartford
last Wednesday. The highest. bidder Was
the Williamsburg Savings Bank of Brook-
lyn, N. Y., who offered to take the entire
issue of $1,000,000 at 106-85, and the lot
was awarded to them. The high premi-
um offered for such small per cent. bonds
is'a splendid ccomium upon the financial
soundness and honor of the state.

A Success.
Our Saturday edition of the GAZETTE
seems to have bounded into a complete
success from its first issue. More than
double the number of copies were taken
than We expected: It has proved a sort
of Adam at its birth and shows that the
people know and will buy a good paper
when they see it. We promise next
Saturday’s number to be still more in-
teresting and valuable to render and
advertiser.

THE NEPTUNE CLUB.
To-morrow at one o’clock will sail away
from Hill’s Lumber Yard Docks the club
0f water excursionists whose name and
fame is known at every island, port and
inlet from Norwalk to Cape Cod. TLe
name of this club is a synonym of sobriety,
good behavior and gentlemanly character
and deportmeut wherever it is known
or heard. It is now fifteen years since
its organization as an annual down-cast
boating excursion. Yet such has been
the scrupulous care of all its members to
have none join its ranks who are not in
every sense a gentleman that never, even
in any single instance, has its memb rs
been known to dishonor themselves, a1.
though bent on recreation, jollity and
frolic.
At New London, Shelter Island,
Newport, Martha’s Vineyard and Oak
Bluffs their annual visits are awaited with
eager expectation and their presence the
signal for the most cordial and even-en-
thusiastic and social courtesies. The
front doors and parlors of the best fami-
lies of the summer “dwellers by the sea”
at all the points the Neptunca visit, are
always opened wide to them. The reason
is obvious and simply because all its
members are gentlemen of the highest,
personal, social and business character, at
the homes where they dwell, and this
character has been- in no instance
cast aside or forgotten, even when oil on
a hilaridus and frolicsome excursion.
This is a fact as remarkable as it is grati-
fying, because of the changing personnel
of each annual cruise. It is inevitable
that in so large a company, many who go
one year, are unable to go the next and
new memberships are accepted in the
places of the old. But from revered
chaplain to cabin boy, these excursions
have always, without an exception, we
believe, proved the truth of the old adage,
that—
“A little jollity now and then,
Is relished by the best of men.”
Rev. Mr. Clapp, the new rector of St.
Paul’s was with enthusastic unanimity
soughtlfor to act as chaplain for this year’s
cruise, but his pastoral and other duties,
was of such a nature he felt Ire could not
possibly leave even fora two weeks cruise
with the “boys.” Rev. James H. Hub-
bell of Danbury, was then settled upon
with equal cordiality, but upon ascertain-
ing that he also would be unable to go,
the Rev. Geo. E. Weeks of Troy, N. Y.
was invited and accepted. Mr. Weeks it
will be remembered recently married a
South Norwalk lady. -
The following is the perfected list, up
to time of going to press, of the sailing
members of the Neptune Club. Accom-
modations are made for 30, and additions
to the list are expected before the hour of .

The Borough Registrar.
A Republican caucus to nominate a
candidate for registrar of voters was held
at the GAZETTE oflice on Wednesday
evening, a vacancy having been caused by
the resignation of Geo. N. Ells. E. J.
Hill was chosen chairman, and J. H.
Wade clerk. The name of Geo. R. By-
ingtou was presented by Dr. Coolidge,
and a ballot being taken he received the
unanimous vote of the caucus.
A borough committee consisting of Geo.
R. Byiugtou, C. B. Coolidge and J. H.
Kinney, was appointed to attend to the
duties of the election. . ‘
THE ' ELECTION.
At the election held Friday only sixty
votes were cast, and these were irrespec-
tive of party. George R. Byington, the
regular Republican candidate, received 15
votes; Theodore'Brusli, Republican, who
ran on an independent ticket, was elected,
behaving 44. and J. B. Ells 1.,
. The Law About Drawbridges.
In reply to an inquiry on the subject,
the secretary of the treasury states that no
special acts of Congress regulate the con-
ditions for opening drawbridges on all
navigable waters of this country, but that
if aprivatc citizen be aggrieved by the
closing of a draw, be has his action at
common law for damages; and possibly,
under State statutes, a drawbridge which
was not properly and scasonably opened
might be indicted as a nuis 11100.
FIRE. ,
The little house on Peach Island was
burned to the ground Sunday afternoon
about 4 o’clock. A skiff with four intox-
icated young men in it, went ashore there
a short lime previously; and it is surmised
the fire was in some way connected with
their landing, as one of them was seen
wading through the mud io the main land
while the flames were making. it too hot
to remain on the Island. It belonged to
E. A. Woodward and was worth some
$300.
Tho Normal School.—
Candidates for admission to the fall
term of the Normal school at New Britain
will be examined at Drinbury August 15,
and at South Norwalk on the 16th. Ap-
plicants must be at least sixteen years of
age, and must pass a satisfactory examina—
tion in reading, writing. spelling, aritlimc-
tic, geography and grammar. The object
of the institution is to prepare pupils for
the work of teaching in the schools of the.
state.
Another Trap for Farmers.
New swindles for the unwary former
are continually coming to light.
consists of canvassing the country with a
harness attachment, the price of which is
fixed by the agent ,to suit the f'zirmcrs'
means. The agent takes his note for five,
eight or ten dollars, and in a mouth or so
the same thing turns up at abduk for
$50, $80, or $100.
Far-es Raised. -
It was reasonably to have been expected
when the White’s line boats were bought
off, that the rates of fares and freight
would be raised. The new company
raised their fares from 35 to 50 cents for
single trip, and froru 50 to 75 cents for
round trip. Nevertheless this is still vr-ry
low fare for the distance traversed.
The Hartford and Harlem Layout.
Another hearing on the layout ut' the
Hartford and Harlem road was given in
New Haven, last Tuesday. Notice was
given of some alteration in the loyout
through Norwalk, Stamford and Bridge
port, maps of which could be seen by
those interested.
A Valuable Calf.
S. W. Robbins, of Wethcrsficld, rcceut_
1y paid for a bull calf twenty-eight days
old, of the Coomassie family of Jersey
stock, the sum of $5,000.
Telegraphic. .
The American Rapid should open an
ofllcc onl its line here at Norwalk. The
public are now in just the mood to throw
a profitable business in its way. '
The lust .
The Fairl‘icld County Fair.
The premium lists of the Fair-field
Agricultural Sccicty for 1883, have been
thoroughly rearranged, a great’ainount
of superfluous matter wccded out, and
some new matter added which should
tend to increase the general interest in the
fair as well as to furnish some additional
particular attractions. The introduction
of class 24, “Oysters, Clams and Boats,”
is a new and novel feature, but has to do
with an industry which is very large in
this country, and which is entitled to a
representation which it has never before
scoured .The premiums are sufficient in
amount and in the speed classes aggregate
about $1,200. In the Prospectus of their
book the directors say :—“For the past
forty-three years the directors of the
Fairfield Cmnty Agricultural Society
have presented a premium list in which
suitable awards have been offered for the
promotion of increased interest in Agri-
culturc,IIoriiculturc and Mechanical pur-
suits. In preparing the list for this year’s
exhibition great pains have been taken to
modernize and to perfect it by a thorough
revision, new classes being added, and the
old ones enlarged. The directors seek to
induce all to present articles for exhi-j
bitiou and to obtain attractions that 'will
bring together the greatest number of
people. They have selected proper com-
mittees to judge of the merits of the
articles presented and to award the
premiums offered. In order to make the
fair a success, every resident man. woman
or child of the county must have a per-
sonal interest in promoting its welfare.
This can be best accomplished by sending
the results of their labors and inventions
in the various departments and encourag-
ing others who have meritorious products
to help to add to lbc display. This or-
ganization is not a dividend paying
investment. The labor of the directors is
without compensation. They are striving
to renew and'stimulate the best interests
of the county. The buildings are large,
ample and commodious. The society has
the best half mile trotting track in the
state. Excursion rates for passengers on
on all railroads. The‘railroads in the
county will transport articles for exhibition
free of charge and animals at reduced
rates. Freight must be prepaid at the
station whence it is shipped. On return
of the articles from exhibition the money
will be ‘rcfundcd on presentation of a
certificate from the secretary of the
society that the articles have been on
exhibition, and that there has been no
change of ownership Exhibitors are
requested to send a list of entries in ad-
vance, or have them written out where ‘a
large variety are to be shown.” .
The fair occurs on Sept. 11, 12, 13 and
14 In preparing the new premium list
Mr. Zalmor‘r Goodsell, of the executive
committee, and the secretary of the
society, Mr. H. T. Shelton, have been
chiefly active and instrumental, while
their efforts have been seconded by Messrs.
Gurlbrie' and Pond, of the «executive
committee, and by the new president,
Edwin Hoyt, Esq , of New Canaan. The
prospect now is that the exbibiiion this
year will be one of unusual interest and
variety, and should the wea'licr prove
favorable, it should be also a pecuniary
success. Extra attractions of a miscel-
laneous character are to he nddr d, which
will bodily announced as fast as do’tr-r-
mincd upon.
Firciu Danbury.
13. Dexter, the Danbury hat manufac-
turer, has again been the victim of the fire
fiend, his factory being destroyer] on
Tuesday, at 6 p. in. The fire was under
great headway when discovered by the
bookkeeper, and destruction of the build
ing was inevitable. Some of ‘tbc trim-
mers narrowly escaped being caught in
the flames. One of them had her hair
'siu‘ged, and one of them fainted, it is said,
and was carried out of the building.
Several of them in their exit caught up as
many hats as possible and carried them
out of doors as they went. There were
two hundred dozen hats ready for the
tips and about a quarter of these were
saved. Beyond that everything was lost.
Thirtyxone dozen hats bad just been
.loaded on a wagon and taken to the rail-
.way. Mr. Dexter estimates his loss on
building, machinery and stock at $10,000.
The insurance is $5,500. He employed
ninety persons, and was making about
thirty dozen hats daily. This is the third
time in nine months that Mr. Dexter’s
shop has bcc n destroyed by fire.

May Joy and Happiness Attend Them.
Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock, at the
home of the bride on Main st. Charles A.
Tucker, Principal of the Center School,
was married to Miss Carrie, daughter of
the late William L. Quintard of this town.
The Rev. S. B. S. Bissell performed the
impressive ceremony, in the presence of
a few of the relatives and friends. The
house was handsomely dressed in flowers,
the bridal couple standing under alarge
umbrella composed of pond lilies sus-
pended from an arch of smilax. At the
close of the ceremony refreshments were
served, after which the happy couple took
the 9:40 train for an extended trip to
White River Junction, White Mountains
and Lake Champlain. ’
What’s in the Wind ?
There is a mysterious under current of
rumors extending from Danbury to Wall
street that there is to be some important
changes in the. ownership and inan—
agemcnt of ourvlittle Danbury railroad
It is claimed that negotiations are now
going on for its purchase by a syndicate
in the interests of the Iron Steamboat Co.,
and the New England R. R. That- there
is sornethipg ominous on the topic is quite
cvidcnt,butin what it is to result, no one
seems to know.

Tho Slorrs Agricultural School.
The object of this institution, which is
located at Mansfield in. this state, is to
teach practical and scientific agriculture
and horticulture, the full course of study
requiring two years of three terms each.
Students receive instruction both in the
class-room and on the farm. Young men
who propose to become farmers, or to on-
gagc in horticultural or agricultural pur-
suits should take a course in this school,
which was established by an act of the
legislature.
A Bank Book Thief.
A German named Knapp, employed in
the for factory at South Norwalk, stole a
bank book from his room-mate, Friday,
came to the Norwalk Savings bank and
procured a blank check from Clerk Mont-
gomery. This be filled out and presented
it at the Norwalk National bank and en-
dcavorcd to get it cashed, but was unsuc-
cessful. He then left town with the bank
book, which showed a deposit. of about
$300

ident S. E. Olmstead by Geo. M. Holmes.
If our friend Olmstead doesuot get: left
on the “Parallel” he will still be all right.
Tobacco Growers Hopeful.
It is generally conceded that the Con-
necticut tobacco crop has made rapid
growth the past two weeks, and the out-
look for a good crop is fluttering. As a
whole, the crop seldom looked better, and.
growers feel hopeful for the best crop
they have had for some years.

ing the manner in which Horace D. and
Annie C. Shepard came to their death
was made last Friday. Nothing new was
developed. They were found dead in bed
with bullet wounds in their heads and it.
is supposed that the man shot the woman
and than himself. The Rev. P. I]. Shep-
ard, of Saybrook, testified that. he did not
believe the letter found in his son’s pocket
was written by him. He did not believe
his son could have summoned up courage
enough to kill anyone, much less to take
his own life, as he Was of a gentle dispo-
sition. In living with this woman who
called herself his wife, he thought his son
had been the victim of some gross decep-.
tion. The jury returned. a verdict that
both of the deceased persons came to
death at the hands of Horace B. Shepard.

Connecticut Crops.
Connecticut’s corn crop of this year is
estimated by the governmental crop report
for July at 65,000 acres, and the probable
yield as above the average. Oats are
doing well‘and promise an extra crop.
Owing to the ranges of the canker
worm the crop of apples will be small.
The yield of pears and peaches, promises
. to be good. Tobacco, with which about
10,000 acres have been planter], was late
in starting, but. the plants have set well.
The potato average is about 32,000 acres,
and the crop never looked so Well since
the potato beetle appeared.

A New Strawberry.
E. W; Durand of lrvi'ngton, Essex Co ,
N. J., has issued a circular portraying the
merits of another of his superb strawber-
ry propag'atious, called the “Prince of
Berries.” We have tested Mr. Diirand's
plants and berries thoroughly and we deem
him the best propagator of new varieties
of this exquisitely delicious and first of
spring fruits, in the country. Send for
his catalogue amt give his new variety a
trial, is our advice based on ii long and
satisfactory experience.
Query.
As boys selling other local papers are
allowed to dispose of same on the horse
cars, we would like to inquire if, when,
on Saturday, a car driver roughly ordered
from his car aboy selling the GAZETTE,
‘he acted upon his own authority, or
whether be but. conformed to it require-
ment of a superior office” If it be the
latter may there not be some truth in the
frequent rumor that said officer has a
financial interest in the sale of the other
local papers ?
