TO HOLIDAY ADVERTISERS.
As an adrertising medium the
GAZETTE offers advantages in point
of circulation and the character of
its patrons which command the at-
tention of all classes of advertisers.
It goes direct into and is duly
read by the FAMILIES of the pur-
chasing classes.
Every copy is designed to go
into a home. It has no rivals that
compete with it as a r'elcome V181-
tor at the firesid 6 home circle.
Its constantly . condor". advertising
columns prove how imnecessary it
_ is for us to indulge in- deceptive
boasting in older to win patronage.
Yet it is due to our advertiserslhat
we assert our belief that - its local
circulation is in excess of. the torn
bined circulations of‘ all other
papers in Norwalk. Its. patrons
are always welcome ,to its press-
room and full inspection of the $126
of its editions is cordially invied.
It has in addition to its local cir-
culation, a wider area of readers
than any other Norwalk paper. Its
mail sent to subscribers in the sur-
rounding towns who probably see
no other Norwalk paper, is' far in
excess of all would-be competitors.
This, our bills for postage paid at
the Norwalk post office fully prove.

The Yale Grew.
c r1~
v tx-t
It has been definitely decided that the i
Yale crew of 1884 will pull the “Bob”
Cook stroke. Cook has made four visits
to New Haven within 9. short time to
teach the candidates for the university
crew to row after his style. Only two
of last year’s crew have been among the
eleven who are candidates f'br seats in the
boat. In order to break the men of last
year’s vicious style, Cook found it neces-
sary to compel them to row with station.
ary instead of sliding seals. He is ex-
pected to visit the college once a week.
By January 15 the crew will begin a
training diet and will eat at the same
table.
crew who are bookedtto pull in 1884 are
Flanders and Peters. It is hoped that
Hyndmau who is to return to college
soon, may be induced to row, and, if he
is, it is said Parrot will also enter. The
most promising of the new men is Put-
ten, of North Haven. He is a. lighter
man than is usually seen in a Yale crew
but is said to have great strength and en-
durance. He will spend the Christmas
vacation at Pniledclphia where Cook will ,_
coach him. Flanders and Parrot also
may go to Philadelphia for a week‘s
training.

A freight train on the Consolidated ,

l time that the train left that city the heavy
fall of snow retarded Her movemenls and
it was with the utmost difficulty that the
engine pulled the train. Often while
going up the grade near West Haven
the engine became stalled. The fire man
worked hard to keep up the steam and
was relieved by Conductor Scarles.

Lynch, was also badly burned The train
men at once hurried to the engine and
found the engineer and fireman lying on

A Gold Wave.
Sunday wais the coldest day of the win-
ter. During Saturday night the ther-
mometer indicated two degrees above zero.
The lowest point reached Sunday was six
degrees below zero, and the thermometer
did not rise much above zero throughout
the day. The cold wave seems to have
extended only along the seaboard, as the
reports from interior towns ,show a
temperature but a little below the freezing
point. The harbor is french over, and
navigation is impeded. The indications
for today are snow, accompanied by
rain.

tion summarizes with characteristic pith
l “The Old way” and “The New Way.”
THE OLD \VAY:
. Charge all the customers will stand and
competition permit.
Big discount to dealers and agents (when
competition compels)——let the private buyer
take care of himself. ‘
1,000 books, profit, S1 each—$1,000.
Publish the books that will sell.
Take care,of "Number One."
THE NEW WAY:
Give the best book possible 'for the least

The consequence seems to be that the
new way wins the largest retail bark
trade in the world, which is still growing
beyond any precedent, and in spite of
opposition and difficulty almost without
example. Mr. Alden has just 'issued a
new price list, with large reductions,
which, with descriptive catalogue, is sent

that they will return and appear at Music

and they gave Pittsfield a rare treat; in

I ~‘ 5 HARTFORD AND HARLEM.
"I‘lie railroad commissioners met in the
mayor’s office in Bridgeport, Wednesday,
_ and listened to the testimony regarding the
proposed layout of the Hartford&. Harlem
railroad. ’l‘heselectmen of Fairfield in
in the union of the town, objected to the
layout as doing much unnecessary dam-
age to the town in general and to the
cemetery in particular. Lawyer Perry
also made objections, . but stated i”. the
line was drawn further north so as to
avoid the cemetery it would, in the main,
be satisfactory. Messrs. Olmsteud and
Parrott for the New York d? Connecticut
Air Line made objections to the Hartford
& Harlem layout as a whole, maintaining
‘ that the latter was but an infringement
on the line already laid out by them.
After hearing other-objections the com-
missioners adjourned to meet at Norwulk
next Friday. They also meet at Stamford
next Saturday, and again in Bridgeport,
on January 3.
The annual meeting of- the company
will be held at the ofllcc of S. E Baldwin,
in New Haven, December 29, at 2 p. m.
l Tim OLMSTEAD PARALLEL.
l 'I’residcnt Olmstead of the New York
3 do Connecticut Air Line, or “0.msteau
l Parallel" as it is familiarly known, has
called a meeting of the directors of his
company for next week Wednesday, in
New York city. The meeting is held for
the purpose of deciding upon a proposed
change of the route through Norwalk.
down the turnpike hill whence it skirts
Franklin avenue, across the park and
and crosses the river just south of the
Union factory. The change proposed
i alters this line considerably. Under it,
the road will cross the riverjust north of
the factory going in a uurthwesterly
direction. It willtuunel throu'gh Spring
Hill, entering the hill near the old spring,
just in front of the residence of Francis
J. McKeou. Continuing, thcroad emer-
ges from the tunnel near the old Benedict
, place about 200 feet north of the reser-
' voir. Thence it circles and then proceeds
! in an almost straight line meeting, the old
survcynear the town of Durien. This
line is, as shown on the map, far better
for all concerned and though tunne‘ing
through Spring Hill will entail consider-
able expense, it will not be greater than
buying the right of .way through the
locality embraced in the former layout.
The advantages of this change are at once
apparent and extend to the town as well
as to the railroad company themselves.
By making this change the latter have an
almost straight line from below Stamford
to Westport, and a number of dangerous
grade crossings are obviated. The town
itself is benefitted by having the railroad
to the north of it, the only direction in
'which the town can grow, and at the
same time in saving the destruction of
many of its principal streets which would
To the cast of the Spring Hill tunnel
the layout crosses the Danbury- & Nor.
alk’s track at a point in the rear of the
Center school house. Here a junction
will be formed and the company’s'depot
erected.
From maps of the proposed change and
of the entire layout, the line laid for the
“Olmsteed Parallel” appears to be as per-
fect and complete as could well be made.
There are several places where changes
for the better could be made, but as a
whole it is more to be desired than the
survey of the Hartford & Harlem, or the
present location of the Consolidated. The
interests of the towns through which the
road is to run are much better served by
the Olmstead line than by any other as
at present located. This can be seen by
a} glance at" thefimaps of the different
lines. Moreover President Olmstead
personally assures us that his line is to
"strike spade” and push along briskly,
long before the. limit allowed by the
.cornmissiouers, viz.‘, next :hlarcb, has
expired. If arosd is to be built public
favor will rest upon that one which first
commences Work. If the Olmstead
Parallel, so be it,- if the Hartford &
Harlem, ditto.
AND STILL ANOTHER!
Another parallel road plan is announ,
ced. The legal notice has been published
l, for will authorize a road through some or
3 all of the towns of Eufield,Eust Windsor,
1 South Windsor, East Hartford, Hartford,
i‘Ncw Britain, Berlin, Mrriden, Walling
l ford, North Haven, Hamden, New
Haven, Orange, Milford, Stratford
Bridgeport, Fuirfield, Westport, Norwalk,
Darien, Stamford and Greenwich, so as to
l form a through railroad line in the cen-
, tral portion of the state to New York
l city via New Haven and Norwalk.
3 President Wslrous says that a connection
:with the Boston and Albany road at
, Springfield is apparently interested, and
3 that perhaps the Boston and Albany is
fbehiud the movement. Four parallel
fronds are now proposed. The other
i three are the Hartford & Harlem, the
l Ulmstead,and the Inland Air Line road.
1 President Wutrous intimates that William
'g H. Vanderbilt is connected with this
newly projected parallel road.
Meeting of the Agricultural Society.
The Fairfield County Agricultura-
society held their meeting at the Mahacl
kemo hotel Wednesday, a majority of the
members of the society being 3preseut.
After being called to.order the meeting
proceeded to elect directors fer the en
suing year. It was voted to reduce the
number from fifteen to eleven. The fol—
lowing were chosen: T. L. Watson, H.
B. Drew and J. W. Waller of Bridgeport;
Edwin Hoyt, New Canaan; D.‘ P. Ely
and W. C. Street, South Nor-walk; T. B.
Wakeman. Westport; A. E. Kroger, Win
uipauk; John H. Sherwood, Southpbrt;
Harvey A. Wood, Stamford; Chas. E. St.
l John, l’orwalk. '»
There was some talk among the mom
bers of ,changing the location of the fair
grounds to Bridgeport for the coming and
succeeding seasons. The general senti-
ment was decidedly in favor of such a
bliaoge and in all probability it willbe
made provided suitable grounds can be
obtained. The newly elected directors
.will hold a meeting on the 8th of January
to elect officers and to take final steps as
- to a change of location.

of the Old Well Hook and Ladder

ates. The funeral was attended from the
Baptist tabernacle, yesterday afternoon,
Ree. Mr. Gumbcrt officiating. The mem.
bers 'of the city fire department and a

The snow storm of Sunday night and
yesterday morning, caused considerable
delay on the Consolidated and Danbury
and Norwalk railroads for the early
morning up and down trains. The Wash-
ington express, due here at 1:21 a. in,
arrived at 6:45, and the mail and news-
paper train was an hour and a half late.
The special Bridgeport down, due here at
6:17, arriVed at 7:50, and the 7:42 mail
down was one hour late. The Dtiubury
and Norwalk mail train down was forty.
minutes late. The snow fall on the
platform of the Consolidated road was
eight inches, making the total snow fall
for the week seventeen inches. Thej
poor livery horses have tears in their eyes
this morning, and well they may, for
there is abunaut prospect of their having
a long term of “hard sledding."
The snow storm on Wednsdly
delayed the afternoon trains from fibres]!
to. forty-five minutes, and the heavy ex
press trains were drawn by two locomo~
Ii‘ves each. On the Danbury and Nor.
walk railroad the passenger trains made
their usual good time, but that owl freight ,
up, was “waiting for the wagon” all,
. night, and whether it has yet arrived at .I
' Dunbury is questionable.
The accident ,
near Dnnbury last winter which cost the
eimpany some ten, thousand dollars, was :
caused by an all night’s waiting for the .
freight on the Consolidated road, which
is supposed to be due here somewhere
near 11 p. mi, but which been habit of
getting here at about any hour of night or
morning, except on time. Why the Dan-
bury and Norwalk freight train continues
to connect with this train is a mystery, as
the connection exposes the company to
greatly increased danger by irregular
night running, and annoys all living ne'er
termini and accommodates no passengers.
As this company are now running two ,
rcight trains they could. it is belie“.Ll
