Thousands of eyes were turned towards the sun, Saturday forenoon, on account of a~ curious phenomena. Similar to the usual ring around the moon, the orb of day was‘in the centre of a huge diskof dark clouds, the outside edge of which was circled by a ring, lined with rainbow colors, all making an attraétive spectacle and one which caused no little wonder— ment.

Marion Harland in “Cookery for Begin- ners” presents a series of familiar lessons for young housekeepers, which are of gen- uine value. 'It is a fault of many books on cookery that they take for granted the possession of a certain degree of knowl- edge requisite to their successful use, not always possessed. This book is suited to the use of and has the advantagc'of being perfectly adapted to the needs of the veriest tyros in cookery. Published by D. Lofhrop & C‘o., of Boston; piee 60 cents. J. R. Rockfeller of Bridgeport, drove over here Sunday and summoning Chief’ Lockwood ordered him to arrest Frank B. Taylor of this place on suspicion of having stolen a suit of clothes from Rockfeller while boarding at the latter’s house. Chief Lockwood found Taylor in South Norwalk and brought him up town to the lockup. Subsequently Rockfeller telephoned to Bridgeport for a policeman who came. over and escorted Taylor to that city. A roommate of Taylor's, Eu- gene Wood, went over to testify against Taylor. . In their mad haste for a foothold the democratic press is even trying to bring superstition in this year’s campaign. Here is the latest nonsense-z—“The rule of seven, it appears, is to figure in the presidential campaign. The Philadelphia Record calls attention to the fact that Blaine's name is composed of six letters. He was nominated on Friday, which is spelled with six letters, the sixth day of the week, the sixth day of the month and the sixth month of the year. Seven is the lucky number, so he comes within one of it.” Notice is given from Washington that on and after July 1, 1884, a flashing white light of the fifth order, flashing at intervals of ten seconds, will be exhibited at the lighthouse rcclzntly constructed at 'Lati- mer’s' reef, east end of Fisher’s island sound, New York. The apparatus lights 380 degrees of the horizon, and the focal plane is fifty-six feet above low water. The light should be seen in clear weather from the deck of a vessel fifteen feet above the sea, thirteen nautical miles. The structure is a white tower standing on a red p'ier, nd surmounted by a black lantern. Igon the establishment of this light, the lightship upon Eel grass shoal will be discontinued. - Torchlight parades will soon be in order. Miss Lillie Burr is visiting friends in Bethe]. The schools close Friday for the summer vacation. The fare to Hartford and return to-mor- row is $1.70. According to the almanac, summer commences Friday.

The annual festival of the First Baptist church was held last Friday evening. Everyone we have seen have expressed themselves delighted, so we suppose the festival was a success.

All friends of the school are invited to be present and mas the exercises. Conductors on the Consolidated road are to have one day off, and perhaps two, to compensate for the increased length of their runs. The runs of the engineers are but slightly increased and their-pay is to be regulated by the number of miles run. ' Jeremiah Butler, :1 brakemau on a freight train of the New York and New Haven railroad who lived in Stamford, fell from a car at Mamaroneck Thursday afternoon and the wheels passed over him, causing fatal injuries. He only lived a few hours. How to be neatly and stylishly dressed for the least money, is a question which is constantly arising, and it has been seen and heard enough to convince every one that: Cebu is one of the best cutters and fitters, and alwaysimproves upon the style of custom garments. The strawberry festival of the Second .M. E. church will be held at: the Opera House this and to-morrow evenings. Those in charge of the arrangements have, prepared an interesting programme for each evening and the affair promises to be a flattering success. The badges to be worn by participants in the Buckingham Statue parade in Hartford, on the 18th inst., will be 'of white silk with a. portrait of Governor Buckingham, and an inscription giving dates of his birth, death and term of office as governor. and the date of unveiling. , To-day the railroad commissioners will give a hearing at New Haven on‘the peti- tion of the Hartford and Harlem road for an extension of time to December30, 1886, for the commencement of its road and the expending of ten per cent., and notice has been served upon the Olmstead parallel road as an adverse party. Mr. Eben Hill returned from a pro- tracted western trip yesterday morning. Mr. Hill statesthat all through the west the enthusiasm over Blaine’sfnomination is intense and that he heard no word of coolness or dissatisfaction until he reached Albany, N. Y. The western people, he says, will carry Blaine in with a rush. Roddy_McGuinness, though mayor of Cobble Hill, cannot prevent his cohorts. 'from fighting amongst themselves. Last week there were the usual scrimmages and resultant arrests. Roddy says if they don‘t stop it he’ll order out the military and shoot every mother’s son of them. The Bigelow Battalion held a meeting last Tuesday evening to talk over the nominations. Mr. ,E‘. J. Hill was present and gave an interesting account of the experiences of the convention. He also gave satisfactory reasons for the action of the Connecticut delegatiOn in “sticking” for Hawleyp These reasons will be made manifest during the fall campaign. The Connecticut delegates to the national Democratic convention at Chicago met in Bridgeport, Thursday. Governor Waller declined ‘to serve as chairman of the dele- gation, to which position he was chosen, and A. E. Burr of the Hartford Times was appointed. Clinton W. Cowles, of Man- chester, was made secretary. The head- quarters of the delegation will be_ 'at the Palmer house. The choice of the dele- gates for_ a presidential candidate will probably be either Cleveland or Bayard. While William Gates, of Springwood, . wascrossing the lot adjoining the residence of Charles Stuns on the‘Ely Neck rotid, Sunday morning, he discovered the body of an infant wrapped in a shawl. It had presumably laid where it was found four or five months. Coroner Burke was sent ‘ for. An inquest was held yesterday. A verdict in accordance witlithc factsstated was found. It is not unlikely that some- thing more will be learned of the case when the ownership of the shawl onclosing‘ the body is discovered. Officers are now endeavoring to trace the shawl with fair prospects of success. The child was a boy about ohe year old. Miss Annie E. Hall's concert occurs at the Opera House next Thursday evening. The following artists will appear: Miss Henriette Beebe, soprano; Miss Margitret , Bryant, contralto; Mr. John Rhodes, violinist and Mr. Glose, pianist. Though all are in the top rank special. notice should be given to Mr. John Rhodes who, as a violinist has few equals and no superiors. As a member of Theodore Thomas’s orchestra he has won golden laurels and of himself should be sufficient to crowd the house. In addition to the above Miss Hall will also participate. This lady has a most charming voice and, aided as it is by the [most thorough musi- cal training abroad, will doubtless highly entertain the audience. All the indies.- tions point to a crowded, house and we cordially advise all lovers .of music to at- . tend the concert. The people have been dealing of late years with political bosses, and have given plain indications of their disposition. Now it is becoming a question whether it will not before long become necessary to to deal with the tyranny of some of the daily newspapers. A great party has been told within a weekby two of its journals, “We will advocate the election of your candidate if hets'uits us." In other words, “We being a half dOzen inen, who happen to'have control» cf joumals of a large circulation, at a time when parties are unusually evenly balanced and when the issue of an important election is doubt- _ ful, will do as much as we dare to defeat your nomination if we do not like it.” Unless we are very much mistaken this attempt at dictation will be resented. The-American people 'are not likely to submit to such an endeavor to control their action.—Uhfistz‘an Intelligemer. . l SOUTH NOBWALX. : . Station Master Gould Benedict is ill.
