They report having met with a cordial

A Suicide.
Thomas Chambers, a blacksmith of
Bedding Center, committed suicide in this
place Sunday by swallowing a large dose
of laudanum. He was found about 10
a.,m. lying on the. rocks alongside the
rubber works on Water street. He was
then in a semi-unconscious slate and was
removed to the lockup and physicians
summoned. The work'of restoring him
was at once commenced, full the most
powerful emetic failed to have any effect.
He was subsequently removed to the Aims
House, where he lingered till about 5
o’clock Monday morning when he died.
Upon his person was found a half emptied
bottle of laudnaum, but the druggist’s
label was defaced and could not be read,
so that it could not be ascertained wlrcro
he had purchased it. Deceased had been
drinking heavily for" several days, and
while recovering from his spree, and in a
moment of mental aberration look the
fatal dose. Medical Examiner Burke held
an examination, and the remains were
carried to Bedding last night.

Henry Gibbe’ Vindication.
For some time rumors have been cur.
rent hcreabouts that Henry Gibbs, the
colored man whose happy face is so well
known here, and who recently moved his
family to.Virginia, had gturned out to be a
rascal and had deserted his wife. The
rumors gained no little credence and
many friends of VHeury’s were deeply
' pained at his alleged rascality. One lady
however, who firmly believed in his
innocence, ascertained thathe was work-
ing in Brooklyn, where he commanded
higher wages than he could get in Vir-
ginia. She therefore wrote to Henry
employer concerning him and received
the following: '
Henry Gibbs has. been in my employ since
the sixth day of January lost. He came to me
the day following his arrival from Virginia.
He is perfectly sober, and faithful, and seems
to be a good Christian man. His wife. hears
from him every month, and receives all his
wages—save a very little he reserves for nec.
essary personal expenses. I know this. for I
make out the checks ayable to his wife. 'I
gladly write this—at onry’s request—that his
00d name may be vi ndicnied amongst those
or and 'with whom he has labored for the
Master. Tears filled his eyes when he learned
of the evil report, and he seemed much grieved.
Respectfully,
J. Rumours, Brooklyn.
It would seem that the above, which is
from a respectable lady, would clearly
disprove the evil reports circulated.

—w. B. Hana Co. of Bridgeport, are
doing an immense business in silks, fine:
dress goods, spring wraps and roady'mado
suits. The Bridgeport Evening Post thus
speaks of the firm. Visitors at the estab-
lishment of W.’ B. Hall &. 00., yesterday
found the statements in their large adver-
tisement more than verified. The silk and
dress goods counters were literally packed
with eager buyers, while in the hosiery,
underwear and corset sections it was
almost impossible fer peOple to pass each
other. The suit and mantle department
comes next into view and there the
variety of handsome wraps—elegant
shawls, good fitting jerseys, and-,‘pretty
suits is almost bewildering. In the black.
goods, which is especial feature are shown
the new Bison cloths, Drah dc Almas,
Camels hair serges, Henrietta cloths and
many new wears. . In the colored dress
goods sections are. hundred of novelties.
W. B.- Hall & 00., may well be styled the

At the adjourned meeting of Christ

it was found, that although the meeting
had been called by a notice which read
like the Declaration of Independence, and
the amount of advice given to the
meeting concerning the legal manner of
doing the business, that nearly all of the
business which had been done was irreg-
ular and they began straightby having
only the legal members of the society
vote, and will hold a special meeting
when the newly elected members can law-
fully nct as such. '
The funeral of the late Dora Croft of
Bridgeport, was attended from Christ
church, in this place, of which the de-
ceased was a member for ’a number of
years, on Wednesday afternoon. The
flowers were the most beautiful ever seen
at that church on a similar occasion. A
broken column of roses by the teachers,
and a pillar by the scholars of her class,
bearingzthe words “Our Teacher" were
elegant productions, and {showed that she
was held in high esteem by those with
whom she was associated as well as in
this place where she had so many friends.
The remains were buried in Christ church
cemetery. .
A few days since a resident of this
place received a queer looking package
through the mail which on examination
was found to be a two quart tin basin
containing a number of sweet lemOns and
a number of specimens of the flora of
California, sent by Dr. George B.-Bouton,
from Los Angelos. Tire doctor in speaking
of the lemons says, “they came from the
orangeries of Mr. J. W. Wolfskill. There
were formerly large numbers of the trees
but they have been nearly all cut down,
the. fruit not being considered merchantap
ble, only a few trees being reserved for3
the use of the familyywho prize them
highly. The doctor gives a glowing ac-
count of that part of the country.

A BAPTIST HINIS’I‘EB’S EXPERIENCE.
