As to the Boston and New York Inland “gold plated Russian scheme," the pub- lished details of its proposed scope would make an excellent addition to Hans An- dersen's fairy tales, or an excellent story to tell the horse marines—Hartford Post. Henry Farnam, long a resident of New Haven, who gave Yale college the Far- num dormitory, noted for his beneficeuce in other directions and identified with large railroad enterprises in- the west, died last Thursday of paralysis, aged 80. This is what speaker Sam.

' A coat, a richly embroidered yellow vest and one boot with one toe worn through were exhibited at the-Daubury fair as a part of the wardrobe which the late General Tom Thumb wore on the occasion of his presentation to the Queen of England. They are exhibited by Mrs. Wilson. a cousin of the General. Mrs. Elizabeth Stoddard Huntington, wife of C. P. Huntington, Vice—President of the Union Pacific Railroad, died Fri- day morning at her residence in New York city. Mrs. H. was a lady of most estimable qualities and be10ved by all who knew her. She used to be a frequent vis- tor to Norwalk at the time her relative, Rev. Mr. Gates, was a resident here, and when a nephew was placed by her, at Dr. Fitch's school. Among the noted arrivals in the city Saturday, was Mrs. Margaret Brophy of Norwalk. She was on her way to Sher- ifi.’ Crosby‘s hotel on North avenue, where she will remain until the “gentle breezes from the south” begin to blow. Her of- fence was drunkenness and contempt of court. She haikd from Norwalk, and this is about the sixtieth time she has been sent to jail during the last 15 years. gBrt'dgaport N008. This varies somewhat from the Brthel girl's romance. A Willimantic factory girl wrote her name and address and a desire to get married in a nice little note, which she placed inside the band of the hat she had just finished. Her father bought the hat. On his way home that evening he paused at a house which was being plastered, and obtained a slender and supple lath. The girl will hereafter make hats plain. We would call attention to the new ad- vertisement of W. B. Hall & Co., of Bridgeport. Having personally inspected the large store and stock, we can recom mend it to our patrons as one of the finest dry goods establishment in this, section of the state, and purchases can be made there just as reasonable as in New York. A new building has been added to their at- ready large storc, and the grand opening took place last evening, on which occasion the building was filled to overflowing. - We have received by mail a copy of the ' Bijou edition of Coder/‘8 Lady's Book.

Emery of Fisher- villc, New Hampshire, who was formerly a practicing physician of the town of Wilton, where he was very successful and esteemed by all who knew him. The beautiful and profuse display of wild and cultivated flowers adorning the pulpit of the First Congregational church, Sunday, was suggestive of the answer returned by the deaf and dumb girl when asked what flowers were? “The smiles of angels," she quickly wrote on her slate. Postmaster Olmstcad and wife returned late Saturday evening from the White Mountains. .The P. M. says he made the quickest tour of the mountains and sum- mit of Mt. Washington, on record. As the peaks were suow clad and ice bound, we conclude he had to hurry or freeze. Among the jurors drawn for the Octo- ber term of the Superior court at Bridge~ port are : J. W. Hubbell and Robert H.

Mr. Mllca' term of service in the national legislature is drawing to a close, and we desire to make acknowledgement of very many courtr- sies he has shown us during the term he has represented this district. We have had occasion at different times to comma nicate with him in behalf of certain of his constituents, generally pension claim ants, and have invariably found him eager to render the fullest service in his power, and we imagine that it will be long before this district will be represented at Wash. iugtou by one who will be more prompt in behalf of his constituents than Mr. Miles has been.— Winsted Herald. The Guion’s line new steamer Oregon, which will soon reach this port for the first time, was constructed with a special eye to speed.

The Mann boudoir‘cars, which are to be put on the Consolidated road tc-mor- row, are not intended to supplant the ordinary sleeping-car, but to provide private rooms and luxury for people who are willing to pay for the greatest degree of comfort in traveling. The houdoir cars will undoubtedly be popular with ladies traveling alone or ,eu famine, as the ar- rangement of a reversed houdoir bedroom, connecting directly with the ladies’ vesti- bule and dressing room, affords a degree of privacy hitherto impossible. Acom- modious corridor runs the entire length of the car, from which open on by doors the bed rooms adapted for families, parties, couples or single voyagers. Passengers will not be disturbed by trainmcn passing through during the night. In fact, the quiet and privacy of home is secured. The corridors are to‘ be lighted by incan- descent clectric lamps, supplied by storage batteries. _ Selleck Bros. are engaged in the enter— prize of repairing their store roof. ——Fever and Agile, and all forms of Mn laria promptly cured by Holland's I'ills.

East Norwalk, to several of her girlhood friends among whom were Mrs. Stephen Smith, and Mrs. Col. Rodgers, each of whom had a daugh- ter present with them and both past the prime. of. life. Mrs. Dssksm’s daughter, Mrs. George Bradley of New Haven, was also present and assisted her venerable mother in dispensing the hospitalities. Mrs. Fawcett's announcement of her milliucry “opening" on Wednesday and Thursday will be found elsewhere and will doubtless prove interesting to lady readers. Mrs. F. had the finest exhibi- tion in her line at the Daubury fair for which she was awarded first premium. Among her specialties for the opening is a number of the “Princessof Wales”hsts, a novelty recently imported and of which, we are informed, none have been previ- ously seen here. With a large stock of the latest fashions Mrs. Fawcctt's “open- ing” ought to be a success. Officer Lockwood arrested a nicely dressed man on the street yesterday for being helplessly drunk. He was taken to the lockup where he informed the officer that he Would plead guilty to the charge of drunkenness and would like to go to jail for 20 or 30 days. He said his name was Jeremiah Luci-y and that he Was on a periodical and wanted to go to jail to sober up. He afterward denied that his name was Lucey but refused to give any other. During the trial in the afternoon he reached down and drew from his stocking a large roll of bills. He was granted his request to go to jail being sent up for30 days. He also refused to give his residence. A dramatic event of considerable note will be the appearance at Music Hall on Friday evening of a new star and the pro- duction of a new play. Madame La Com- tesse de Bremont who is said to be a most talented emotional artist, will be seen in a strong domestic play entitled “The Harvest Storm”, on that evening. The New York Mirror says: Mme. dc Brcmout is a tall, graceful young lady, with a very decided talent for acting, and a rich and mellow contralto voice which she man- ages with skili. She is the widow of the late Count Leon de Bremont, ehcvalier of the Legion of Honor, and a distinguished officer in the French army, who died in this city about a year ago. Her great success in private theatricals determined Mme. de Bremont to trust to the public her future course of life, and we wish her good-speed heartily.” The borough and city firemen will leave for Bridgeport on Thursday from the South Norwalk depot on a special train at 8 a. m. The fare for the round trip will be 36 cents, and the hose carriages and truck will be carried on flat cars free of expense. Pioneer Hook and Ladder company will turn out with 30 members and will appear for the first time in their natty new uniforms. Their truck has been repainted, and the Pioneers are in condition to make as fine an appearance as any hook and ladder company in the parade. ‘Hope Hose company will havu 80 men on the rope of their elegant carriage and they too will hold an enviable position in the line. The Pioneers have been unable to engage" music, but llope [lose will be accompan- led by the drunt corps of Co. F. South Norwalk will be effectively represented by Putnam Hose company with the Citi zen’s band of Bethel. Danbury’s Fair Greater Than liver. It is said of a rural boy that upon his return from his first visit to the great metropolis that he “couldn’t see New York for the houses.” It may be said that the Danbury fair couldn't be seen on Thursday on account of the vast crowd of people which througcd the buildings, tents and all portions of the grounds, where anything was to be seen. The trotting, however, could be nicely wit- nessed from the grand stand, but the chilly state of the temperature rendered that place uncomfortable. And what a place were the fair grounds for oppor~ tunlties to eat and spend money. Restau- rants aud eating stands were as plentiful as autumn leaves, and the side shows lined all the main avenues. Of the latter Bunnell‘s dime museum was the largest, and Mr. Bunuell himself was present. Visitors to the great Daubury fair not only see an extensive and varied exhi- bition,.but they also see a multitude of people,asight alone worth going far to witness. On, Thursday there must have been fully 15,000 persons swarming about the grounds and they came from all parts of Connecticut and over the line in New York, even from Newburg and New York city, excursion trains being run from both cities. The rolling stock of the Danbury and Norwalk road was insufi‘lcient to ac-_ commodate the rush from this end of the road, and many hundreds had to stand in the aisles of the cars from Norwalk to ‘Danbury. ' The special train leaving here at 8:20 a. m. consisted of nine packed cars, and the regular 9:23 of eight. Supt. Sandiforth gave his personal super- vision to the running of trains, and there were no 'vexstious delays as is the case on‘ some roads on aimiliar occasions. The New York' and New England road transported great crewds, and bad cars from. the Consolidated and Connecticut Western reads. A long excursion train came in from the Housatoulc road. The fair far exceeded in extent,iuterest and all other respects any former exhi bition, and the entries were in excess of. any previous year. cattle was exceedingly fine, the display of fruit and vegetables remarkable, the ex hibit of carriages and farming implements unusually large, the poultry excellent, and the entries of dogs numbered '79, the latter feature of the fair being an especial- ly pleasing one. The ladies were largely represented by their haudwork and the art display was a fine one. There were many mercantile displays to add attrac- tiouu to the whole. Music was plenty and of the very best kind, it being. fur- nished by the Weed band of Hartford, and the Wheeler and Wilson, the latter being the best. An excellent orchestra was stationed in the Cbickering piano booth, and there was also a tent devoted to dancing. The trottiugiu the afternoon on Thursday included the 2:27, 2:40 and 3 minute races, there being a field of nine starters in the 2:40 class. We werciudebfed to Daubury's politest citizen, “Ike” Ives, for special courtesies. The show of choice. NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9., 1883. FROM SATURDAY’S EDITION. Tuesday's storm on the Sound is said to have been the most severe for twenty -five years. The Stamford Advocate issued an elec- tion extra on Tuesday. Miss Annie Lockwood of Norwalk, is visiting friends in town, notes the Dan— bury News. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Foote have I‘L- turned from their extended trip to South- ampton, Mass. On account of the severe storm many of the borough schools had but one ses- sion on Tuesday. . ' Margaret Bropby was arrested yesterday and sent to jail 150 days for assault and contempt of court. Charles H. Payne has been divorced from Elizabeth Payne, both of Norwalk, on the ground of desertiou. The 13th district Republican Senatorial convention will be held at the Adams House one week from'to-day. One of the most striking novelties ever seen in town is the characteristic cigar- holder of the Adsms’s House dude. Five hundred tickets for the Dsubury 'falr were sold at the South Norwalk deptt on Thursday, and nearly 300 at Norwalk. A baby visiting at Builder Henry Soy- mour’s, rejoices in two grandmotuers and three great grandmothers, all of whom by the way are widows. The onion raise-rs in Green Farms and vicinity this year complain that the crop is so large that the prices obtained hardly pay for handling them. The Standard says that Bridgeport has been seriously proposed as a location for the exhibition buildings of the Fairfield County Agricultural society. Rev. W. H. Boole, a former pastor of the Norwalk Methodist church, who was nominated for mayor by the Prohibition Alliance of Brooklyn, has declined. Masses are said every morning at the Catholic church, the Pope having pro- claimed s season of prayer from Sept. 80 - to Nov. 8 in honor of the feast of the R0- sary. Rev. Mr. Everest returns to the pulpit of the First Congregational church to morrow, and is expected to fill the same each succeeding Sunday for some months to come. Miss Ads Dyan is playing the part of “Mrs. Dick Chctwynd" in “Young Mrs. Winthrop" with the Madison Square Theatre company, No. 1, on the road,and with marked success. Mrs. Ruth C. D.

Mausford of Providence hired a bay mare and buggy at Prescott & Mitch— ell’s stable in Stamford on Thursday morn- ing and said he should return at 6 p. In. Not returning- postsl cards descriptive of man and team were sent out, one of which was received byChlef Lockwood last night. A fine contribution to the ladies' indus- trial part of the fair is made by Mrs. Andrew Crofut of South Norwalk. She sends six knit worsted afghaus\. These are exquisitely wrought, and present an elegant appearance. With these are two very handsome silk quilts.—Danbury News. ~ Mrs. stcett had a large case of an perb ladies dress hats at the Daubury fair and a smaller one of mourning hats. The latter were especially tasteful in design and exquisite in workmanship, and we overheard her exhibit enthusiastically praised by the crowds of ladies pressing about her show cases. Treasurer Millet-is putting the finish- ing touchesou the Carter house and a coat of paint of a nest, neutral tint, is the latest improvement. With a mansard roof surmouuting this edifice it would be one of the most imposing and attractive houses in town. But as it is, the renova tion has been remarkably successful. The readjustment of pestmasters'ssl- arics does not affect Postmaster 20lm- stead'a salary which remains at $2,100, but Postmaster Dunniug’s is reduced from $2,300 to $2,000, and Stanford's increas- ed from $2,300 to $2,500. In New Canaan it remains at $1,200 and $1,100 in West- port. «In Daubury it is reduced from $2,- 800. to $2,400. Mrs. Jonas Freer of Ashlaud, Ohio, who is visiting her aunt Mrs. Henry Kel- logg, accompanied the ladies to the Dan- bury fair, Thursday, and while on the train had her pecketh stolen, as she thinks. by a female pickpccket who oc- cupied a seat in the Daubury cars with her. Quite an extensive business was done, as usual, on the fair grounds pick- ing pockets and stealing shawls. Mrs. Kellogg had her shawl stolen from her arm while pressed by the crowd inside the pavilion. Any one who would rob “Auuty Currenc'e" of her shawl would steal the pewter, knob off a blind old darkey’s cane. . Some of the methods of tho Democracy in polling votes for their candidates last Monday may be inferred from the fol- lowing which was overbeitrd by .a GA zmn reporter. A well known borough merchant who usually votes the straight Democratic ticket concluded that one of the Republican nominees for seleetmau was better qualified for the position than the one on the Democratic ticket and accordingly erased _the latter's name and substituted the name of the Republican. This action was noticed by a Democratic ticket peddlcr who began a trade of abuse and finally declared that unless the mer— chant voted for the Democrat he (the ticket peddler) would never trade another cent with him. The reply of the met- chest was characteristically blunt and fearless and was in effect that he voted for whom he pleased and was indifferent as to whether the ticket peddler traded with him or not. The question, however arises—how many votes did the Democ- racy secure by such questionable means ? A Soathport Wedding. Sssco Hill, the summer-residence of Ebenezer Munroe in Southport, was the scene of a wedding on Tuesday afternoon, Alausou T. Enos being married to Miss Jennie Louise Taylor. The ceremony was performed by the bride’s father, Rev. w. H. Taylor. The floral emblems were beautiful, and three little girls, the sister and cousins of the bride, stood up with her, under a bower of evergreens and roses. A reception followed the nuptials. The guests were reminded of the old say- ing, “Happy the bride the sun shines on,” for the clouds broke away when the couple took the train for their wedding tour. ' Fairfield County‘ News. ‘ WILTON.
