Had P. C. Lounsbury beendhc nominee

from Hobbic Post, of Stamford, smoked
the pipe of peace around the camp fire of

Miss Carrie Swain appeared at the Opera
House last evening in “Cad, the' Tom

satisfaction. Miss Swain acted and sang
excellently, and received several calls be-
fore the curtain.
Jefi Davis in a recent letter pronounces
the payment of pensions to those who
saved the-nation and not to those who
fought 'to destroy it, “offensive favorit-
ism.” How do the “boys in blue” like
this sentiment from the great democratic
leader of the south ?
Perhaps the least said about the fire-
men’s trip to Great Barrington, the better.
Our boys were shamefully treated, and, in
the matter of the race for the $100, shame-
fully cheated, but no possible good can-
come of harboring ill feelings for the past
- offence, therefore, in all kindness, let the‘
matter drap:
The dry goods men are endeavoring to
start an early closing. movement, and a
paper agreeing to close at 0 p. In. each
evening, except Thursday and Saturday,
is being circulated for signatures. It_
would be a boon to the overworked clerks
' and, as it has been successfully tried in
' other towns, we don’t know but that the
public would be as much accommodated
as at present.
Mrs. Julia A. Prior died at Cranberry
Plains, on the 29th 'of August, aged eighty
years. Her funeral was attended at the
chapel on Sunday afternoon. She was a' .
poor, lone woman since the death of her
children, one of whom died.in the service
of his country, living by herself in a little
hut in a secluded place. There has seemed ‘
to be some mystery about her history, her
mind and education being superior to her
condition. She lived formerly in East
Windsor. ‘ Her- neighbors were very kind
. to her in her life and death.
On Friday evening at the Opera House,
Messrs. Barry and Fay will produce their
new play “All Crazy.” This' 1s said to bc
a very laughable piece and draws large
houses. The New York Truth says:
“A large audience was present at this
theatre last night. who; if laughter and
applause give evidence of approval, were
thoroughly delighted with their evening’s
amusement. In“AllCrazy”Mess1's. Barry
and Fay create fun in every line. “All
Crazy” should crowd this theatre with all
that want to be amused.”
Urnou'runr, Draperies and Curtains arc ,
imported, furnished and put up in the
finest style at very.low prices, and at
short notice by Paine’s Furniture Co., of
Boston. They send men all over the
country to do this work. Samples of ma-
terials and designs are sent by mail, and
skilled werkmen are sent to takemeasures
and estimate the cost. This firm has on
hand an immense stock of the richest
geods anywhere to be found, and at the,
lowest‘prices. It is surprising the amount
of goods they furnish for so little money.
When you go to Boston and wish to see
I the finest stock of Furniture in all the
new styles visit Paine’ s, on Canal street,
opposite the Boston and Maine depot.
It' 111 in order to again refer to the matter
of newspaper credit by the state journals.
One day this week an item concerning the
double track of the Naugatuck road' ap-
peared in the Bridgeport Standard. It
was copied in the Sentinel with proper
credit. The Waterbury American, how.
ever, printed the paragraph'without credit,
and later it came out in the Derby Tran-
script credited to the American. The
Bridgeport Farmer says :-——“The Water-,
bury American sifts this out of its drift—
ings. < ‘Bridgeport is, socially, the gayest
city of the state.’ ” The allusion had its
origin in the Sentinel. Recently the Nor-
walk Gazer-r11 contained an article relating
to the experience of a Democratic club of
that place in finding the names of Cleve.
land and Hendricks painted on one side
of its banner and Blaine and Logan on the
other. The New HaVen Palladium copied
it and credited it to the NorWalk Sentinel
and several papers followed suit, includ.
ing the Hartford Courant and Bridgeport
Standard—‘Ansonia Sentinel.

The lecture made a great impression.
The Morning News, of Bridgeport, has
temporarily switched over to the demo-
cratic camp. Rumor has it that a valuable
consideration did the business.- In this
connection we should like to enquire if a
certain check or draft received by the ed-
itors of the Sentinel and Star last Tuesday
explains the cause of those papers also.
The National Rifle Association will hold
its annual meeting at Creedmoor, Septem-

events on Tuesday, Sept. 19, will be the
governor’s match, seven shots of 500

Waller.
The Season for this month is the finest

tains a brilliant display of the leading
styles for ladies’ ,_ and children’s dress.

The peach festival and exhibition of the
Broad River Sunday school was given on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings last.
The attendance on Wednesday evening
was very large, and the exercises of the
evening passed off smoo hly and, judging
from the expressions of the audience,
were well received. The programme con-
sisted of singing by the school and Quar—'
tette club, speaking, dialogues, and instru-
mental music. We have not the space to
particularize, but the recitations by two
of the young Misses ills and Giles were
well rendered and agilauded. The dis-
criptive panorama by Dan. Marshall
was vividly portrayed. In the dialogue
“ Dependent and Independent,” burnt
cork could not disguise the antic Ben
Allen and his role was well taken, as were
each of the other parts of the piece. The
instrumental music by Miss Stiles, Mrs.
Monroe and a young lady from Brooklyn
were finely rendered. After the pro-
gramme was completed, peaches, cream,
etc., was served and disappeared rapidly
to the satisfaction of all and delight of the
committee.

Death of R. Cornell White.
Robert Cornell \Vhite, who (lied at his
residence at Fort Hamilton, New York
Harbor, had for mapy years been connect
ed with the steamboat industry of New
Yo1k and vicinity. When 11 young man
he Went to New York from the interior of
the state, where his father was a well-to-do
merchant. He entered the office of a
shipping firm on South street, and grad—
ually rose to be a partner in the house.
Shortly after Fulton'madc his first suc—
cessful experiment. with the, steamboat
Mr. White became interested in the newly
developed power. He acquired the own-
ership of a line of steamers running to
Hartford and New Haven, which he man—
aged for many years. He was also exten-
sively interested in the building of steam—
boats,and in 1877 the Grand Republic, then
the largest boat ever built, was constructed
under Mr. White’s orders. She was fol-
lowed by the gigantic steamboat Columbia,
which was also owned by Mr. White.
A few years ago he met with severe busi-
ness reverses and sold his boats to the
Knickerbocker Steamboat company, who
now run them between New York and
Rockaway Beach. He also assisted great-
ly in building the great iron pier at Coney
Island, and every maritime enterprise near
New York city felt at some time the bene-
fit of his money and experience.
Mr. White was the first to introduce
low fares on his steamers on the Norwalk
route, and One season he carried 65,000
passengers at twenty-five cents to New «
York, or thirty-five for the round trip.
He purchased a small place, and resided
several summers in his cottage on the
border of the town of Weston.
Mr. White was sixty-one years of age.
For the‘ past year he has resided .at his
handsome summer residence at Fort
Hamilton, in the harbor, where, looking
out from his windows, he could see the
products of his enterprise sail grandly by.
Mr. White leaves a grown-up family. The
‘ funeral took place on Sunday qfternoon
from Fort Hamilton.

The Steamboat Harlem.
We mentioned a few weeks since that
there were reports 1n circulation of various
contemplated improvements in the steam-
er Harlem, now running between Wilson
Point and New York, in connection with
trains on the Danbury and Norwalk rail-
road. The owners of the boat and public
have, after a su‘mmer’s trial, become satis-
fied that the boat is in point of size and
speed, just suited to the route, and that
proposed alterations will make her one of
the safest and fastest boats on the sound.
The improvements to be made. are: A
new and larger steel boiler, heavy ’cnough
to carry 00 pounds of steam; a new and
improved bull frame, all of which will be
under deck, (thus advoiding the deck
o'bstructi of a hog frame, such as are on
the Brid ort steamers) and the placing
of “sponchens” under her guards. The
“sponchens” are a light false 1111]], ex.
tending from above the water line of the
hull, to near the outer portion and under
the guards, and they‘1are a great relief in
a heavy sea throwing 1e wave easily off
from the boat,‘instead of lowing them to
beat under the guards. \\
Thuc are various changes‘1t0 be made
in the interior ar rangemcnts"- of the boat,
among which 15 the placing of the pursers
office abaft of the wheels so that passengers
can prdcurc their tickets without going
through filled gangways. When these
changes are made the Harlem can leave
New York fifteen 01' twenty minutes later
than now, which will be a great accom-
modation to business men and lady shop-
pers. During the winter months, we
hear that a propeller, suited to the route,
with births, will run from Wilson Point,
on the arrival of the night freight train
from Danbury, say at 10 p. m. and leave
New York at 12 noon, thus keeping up a
freight line during the entire year.

The Fat Men’s Clambake.
The fat men’s Clambake at Dorlon point
was not as largely attended as of the good
old days. President Dorlon occupied the

W. Bradley, of New Haven, and Willard
Perkins, of Waterbury was on exhibition.
Among those who attended were several
mere pigmies, who did not Weigh more
than 180 pounds, and would not have
been tolerated a few years ago. The
president, Philetus Dorlon of South Nor-
walk, weighs only 215 pounds. One of
the vice-presidents reaches 310, and Sec-
retary P. Murphy of Westport, who
weighs 380 pounds. Neither Mr. Per-
kins, nor Mr. Bradley attended. The fol-
lowing were proposed as members:
John Chamberlain, Brighton, weight 250;
W. S. Wise, Hartford, weigh , 249; Wil-.
liam Iselin, New York, weight 230, and F.

A Wall or Anguish.
A double leaded article in Monday’s
New York Sun, froin the pen of one who
who has otter adhered to the democratic
party,” implores the managers of that
party’s canvass to cause the immediate
withdrawal of Cleveland and Hendricks,
and the substitution of Tilden or Butler to
save the party from inevitable and disas-
trous defeat. No such panicky and dolor.
ous confession of the certain impending
ruin of that party has yet appeared, and it
must appeal to the fears of every sensible
democrat who views the present situation.
This article from such a quarter cannot
fail to produce a profound impression
upon the country.

In Memoriam.
Enrron GAZETTE :—Will you confer a
favor on anold subscriber of your paper
by giving your'readers my testimony to
the beautiful Christian life of our departed
friend and fellow worker in the church and
Sunday school, Henry Felmctta. More
than thirty years ago I heard him pray,
and ever since some words he used have
often come to my mind as a help to me.
and though I have heard many petitions
