P. Beatty, grocer, Norwalk Conn., and get a sample free of the “ Sky Bluing Book.” It has no equal for bluing clothes. No streaks, no greenish tinge, and a perfect ultramarine blue. We know, for we have tried it. One of the Railroad Square crosswalks has been discovered, and fixed so that it will, for a time at least, keep its head above high water mark. It is located nearly opposite the entrance to Gregory’s stables. It is worth taking a look of.— Republican. The whole number of post offices on June 30, 1884, was 50,017.

' Mr. Munson Hoyt did a most creditabl thing in the sale of the lot on which Mrs. ' Betts is now erecting her house.

Judge Andrew Selleck is now manipu- lating the wires, having had his house and store connected by telephohe. The New York, New Haven and Hart- ford railroad has 128 locomotives, 233 passenger cars and 2,208 freight cars. Why not utilize the tramps, who seek lodgings at our station house this winter, to clear the snow and ice from the side- walks ? Something is being said about the cut- ting of wages and shortening of time, but nothing of lower rents or a reduction in the price of board. A number of Norwalkers who are en- gaged in business away from their former home are expected to eat their Thanks- giving turkey in town. —You can let your clothes lie in the water as long as you wish if you use “ Spence’s Sky Bluing Book” for bluing.

A bright light was seen in the southeast last Tuesday evening and many supposed it was a dwelling or some large structure near Westport on fire. It proved to be a blaze in a tract of low woodland be- tween this place and Westport. Capt. F. 0. Seeley of Bridgeport, is a candidate for county commissioner in place of Wheeler whose term expires. Capt. S. was a brave soldier and lost his health in the war, is a first class business man and would make a first class com- missionar. George W.

The steamer Bridgeport arrived in Bridgeport two hours late, but the Crystal Wave only came up as far as Wilson‘s Point, and her passengers finished the trip from South Norwalk. The Rosedale did not leave her New York pier. The proprietors of the dry goods and millinery stores of the city and borough are endeavoring to make arrangements to close their respective stores at 6p. m., Mondays, Saturdays, and the 10th and 11th of each month excepted.

A small bar or rod of iron, flat at the end, if red- dened in the fire and applied for one or two minutes to the head of the rusty screw, will, as soon as it heats the screw,- render its withdrawal as easy by the screw-driver as if were only a recently in. sorted screw. It will fall to the lot of the legislature at its coming session to appoint a succus- sor to Charles B. Wheeler of Monroe, in at present it is not at Vail certain that Mr. Wheeler will be his own successor.— Bridgeport Herding Nam. [The air is full of “change" and it is quite generally felt that it is time for a change in the county commissionership. The failure to light the street lamps Sunday night was a serious and unpar- donable imposition upon church-going tax payers'of the borough. The darkness Saturday evening was almost impenetra ble to a large number of our best citizens who were out to the entertainment at the Opera House, but the density of the darkness Sunday evening was even great- er and yet not a street lamp lighted. The Triple E. by Mrs. S. R. Graham Clark. Boston: D. Lothrop & 00. Price, $1.50. Mrs. Clark is known as the author of Yenu'e Walton, one of the most popular Sunday-school books which has been published for many seasons, and the qualities which attracted attention in that work predominate strongly in this. It is a book which cannot fail to make a strong impression upon the minds of those who read it. Quite a spirited contest is going on in reference to the condemnation by the city of a strip of four and a half feet in width‘ along the line of Dr. Pardee‘s homestead lot, in order to widen Marshall street. It would no doubt improve the street to be widened, but even this narrow strip cut from the Pardee place, ruins a very valuable corner lot for business purposes and really there is a thousand times more need of greater width in the highway around the corner of the hotel in approach- ing the depot from the north. If the greatest good to the greatest number were to be considered, this Marshall street scheme would be for the present abandoned and a new street cut through from close in the rear of Nash’s tin shop to a point coming out at the southwest end of the Mahackemo. Such a new street would open up many new and valuable lots for business purposes and make it possible for our up country cousins to visit our depot without the perils of being run into or run over at the Main street bend around the hotel. Why can’t this new and much needed outlet be cutthrough and the Marshall street im- provement left in abeyance ? NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY. —For sale cheap; it show case. at this office.

This will be the second annual reunion of Baptist Sunday school superintendents and teachers of New En.land. An inter- esting programme has been prepared and all are invited. In our last. week’s notice of that Gladstone-McGraw wheelbarrow bet we omitted an interesting feature. It seems that McGraw, who was successful this year, was also successful four years ago. He then bet on Garfield and took the same ride as this year. At that time “Gill” Bogart was the motive power which pro- pelled the wheelbarrow. Those who in- tend betting on future elections will do as he seems to be invariably successful in his wagers. On Conductor Alexander Cowan’s train, limited, leaving New York, Friday, It 11 a. m., one of those new and elegant passenger cars, No 233, appeared. Every seat back was supplied with two of Mr. Patrick Murphy’s [Saugatuck] patent me- tallic ticket holders, of which so much has lately been said. The conductor’s work was rendered much easier by their intro- duction, and the two-fold mission of the invention could be seen at a glance—keep- ing the ticket in a secure place and in plain view constantly, and enabling con- ductors to do their duty without disturb- ing the repose of sleepy travelers. There is a great scramble for offices go- ing on among our victorious democratic friends all over the country—especially for post offices. We have not heard that any effort has yet been made to have a change in this town, and if such an effort was made it would do little good, as we understand, as Postmaster St. J ohn’s term of office does not expire until 1888. No doubt there are a number that would like it, as it is now a very desirable and com- fortable place to be “boss” of. We think the majority\ of our people are satisfied with the present occupant and what he has done for them in the way of post ofilce improvements.—-New Canaan Messenger. ——Bunnell’s Great Museum at Music Hall, Wednesday andThursdav afternoons and evenings.

Time was when the Bigolows were a power but lack of interest in the organization by the members of it, has raised the question as to whether its disbandment would not be wise. The “Salvation Army” commenced their campaign in the old Baptist Tabernacle building, city, Sunday, a large crowd being in attendance. Subsequently they trans- ferred their scene of operations to Rail- road Square where they held forth for some time. They were attired in red shirts and were the butt of considerable ridicule. Don’t forget the ball to be given by the Samuel P. Ferris Post, G. A. R. at Bay- mond‘s Hall, New Canaan, on Thursday evening.

The tug boat McMahon, Captain Burr Hughes, blew up Saturday just below Stamford while towing two barges from that place to New York. The explosion was so sudden and the boat sank so rap— idly that the crew of five men were carried doWn with her. Subsequently all were rescued except the captain and a deck hand. The survivors were more or less scolded or injured, one of them, the fire- men, seriously.

Some little time before election 'our good democratic friend, 0. E. Wilson, engaged at certain agent to put a new lightening rod upon his house. After the work was completed the question of re- muneration came up. The agent, another democrat by the way, thereupon submitted the proposition that if Blaine was elected he would make no charge for the rod. If, however, Cleveland was elected, Mr. Wilson was to pay double price, viz., $20.00. In chronicling the agreement before the election we stated that Mr. Wilson was shrewd and would get his rod for nothing. He has now paid the $20.00, and ————-well, we take it back.

A very handsome cross and vane have been put in position on the spire of the new church during the past week, and nearly all the timbers are also in position. The entire height of the spire is over 284 feet. On Saturday morning James O’Leary, who drives the truck for Mr. John D. Wood was returning from Norwalk with aload. While coming up the hill after passing St. Paul‘s church, the king-bolt broke and the forward wheels went on and left the rest behind. Mr. O‘Leary was thrown from his seat, but sustained no injury. Since the death of Mrs. Horace Staples adispute has been going on regarding property left by Mrs. Staples, her heirs claiming that a large amount of property belonging to her was held by Mr. Staples. After several trials and hearings before commissioners a decision was given by the supreme court on Tuesday last in favor of the heirs. Last Saturday afternoon Archie Kem- per, a young son of Cornelius Kemper, in attempting to climb around the end of the fence between Staples lumber yard and the yard of the new factory, slipped and fell into the river. Mr. Frederick Ken- dall, who was fortunately near, heard his cries, ran to his assistance and succeeded in rescuing him, but not till he was nearly exhausted. During the storm of Sunday night the vane and cross on the spire of the new church, which had been put in position on Saturday, was blown down together with a number of the timbers. The cross was broken and a portion fell upon the roof damaging it slightly. The main part of the vane, however, together with the base and timbers was held suspended by the ropes with which it had been secured. The damage is estimated at two hundred dollars. ' On Friday of last week Ann Condon paid one of her periodical visits to the marble yard of D. McKcnna while he was at dinner and proceeded to throw every thing movable into the street. On Me- Kenna’s return he was somewhat “riled” at what had occurred and proceeded to knock Mrs. Condon down a couple of times, and in that way persuaded her to desist. No legal steps have yctbeen taken as when Ofiicer Kemper went to arrest her she was not sufilciently recovered to be able to attend court. Hon.

His method of pro- cedure is similar to that of the old man with the boy who was stealing his apples, as portrayed in tho old-fashioned spelling book. In few instances, however, is be obliged to resort to extreme measures. Mrs. Mary Couch, wife of Rufus Couch, died at her home on Sunday of last week. The funeral took place from her late residence on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Coley officiating. The remains were interred in Christ Church Cemetery. The reports which have been circulated and published regarding various directiOus as to her funeral being in her will are entirely without foundation, as the will was sealed and in possession of the person who wrote it, until Saturday at about noon when it was opened in the Office of the judge of probate. There was nothing touching that matter whatever. On Tuesday evening while returning from Wilton Mr. O. I. Jones and Mr. Miles Hoyt, an employee, had a narrow escape from what might have been a serious accident. AsMr. J. C. Taylor‘s son :was drawing home a wagon loaded with empty barrels, accompanied by Mr. Taylor‘s immense dog, a portion of the harness broke just at the foot of the hill beyond Mr. C. T. Hurlbutt’s and young Taylor leaving the dog to guard the horses and wagon went for material to repair the damage. During his absence Messrs. Jones and Hoyt came along and in the darkness did not perceive the presence of the team in the road, the first intimation being an attack by the dog which sprang at Mr. Jones’ horse, and then at them. They then barely escaped being knocked from the wagon by the shelvings on Mr. Taylor‘s wagon on one side, and going over the bank on the other. A broken pair of shafts, however, was luckily the only damage. _____«..————- Why She Didn’t lorry Elm. “ Yes, I live pleasantly with my bus. hand," she said, “ but I believe I should have married Augustus, if all the Is hadn’t made fun of him, and said he’ be bold as a. pumpkin in a year or two.” Youn men take warning and use Parker’s Hair Balsam.
