In the case of the Congregational

such arbitrary and unjust monopolistic
measures as this that make the people of
this state sigh for a parallel road.
We understand that general complaints
are made throughout the village of the
prevalence of the tramp nuisance. The
authorities insist that the fault is largely
with the residents themselves. If com-

the offenders will be promptly taken in
hand. Such complaint may be made to
either of the constables of chief of police.

Messrs. Crofut & Knapp, city, have
sent Hos. Janus G. Bum one of their

when he was elected president, and an—
other also to General Garfield. In'General
Garfield’s case they had to order a block
made expressly, as the size of his head
was a full “ 8,” and no shop had so ‘ un-
usually large a block on hand.

There is a large plot in the Union Cem-
etery set apart by the association, exclu-
sively for the burial of old soldiers whose
relatives are too poor to aflord a separate
lot. Of late, this plot has been somewhat
neglected and does not present a very
attractive appearance. At a recent meet-
ing Buckingham Post, G. A. R., agreed to
petition for the right to place this plot in
proper condition and keep it so, at their
own expense. This mattercame upbefore
the cemetery association at their meeting
last evening and the permission asked was.
granted. The Post therefore intends to
commence work upon the plot at once,
raise and grade it, and make it an orna-
ment to the cemetery. The bodies of
several old soldiers who have at times
been buried in the town poor lot, will
probably be removed and ro—interred intho
plot in the Union Cemetery. The Grand
Army Post deserves the commendation of,
every patriotic citizen for their thoughtful
and praisworthy action.

The remains of Mrs.Disbrow, who died
at the house of her son-in-law, Mr. Minot
Kellogg, in Mount Vernon, N. Y., on
Tuesday, the 25th inst., aged about eighty,
were brought to Norwalk for interment
on Friday, the 28th. Funeral services
were held at the First Congregational
church, of which the deceased became a
member May 4, 1823, and continued to be
until her death. The services were con-
ducted by Rev. Edward Anderson, pastor-
elect, who made an eloquent and conso-
latory address. Prayer was offered by
Rev. Dr. Cook, postor of Mr. and Mrs.
Kellogg in the Methodist Episcopal church
of Mount Vernon. Rev. S. B. S. Bissell
followed with brief biographical state-
ments. Abby Ann Disbrow was the
daughter of Jonathan Knight, who was a
surgeon in the U. S army in the Revolu-
tionary war, and afterwards, until his
death by apoplcxy, April 13, 1829, at tile
age of 71, was a well-known physician of
Norwalk, living in the house (now owned
by Mr. Lyon) at the head of the street
that bears his name. He and his wife
(Ann Crofut, of New Canaan, who long sur-
vived him) were then members of the First
church when Rev. Roswell R. Swan be-
came the pastor, January 14, 1807. They
were the parents of Jonathan ”Knight,
professor of anatomy and physiology in
Yale college for many years, and one of
the most eminent surgeons and physicians
of his day, and one of the best of men.
After the death of the husband and father
the widow and her daughter lived in the
family of the professor in New Haven.
There the daughter was married to Mr.
Charles E. Disbrow, and they came back
to Norwalk where he built up a success-
ful jewelry business, and was an active
g
and superintendent of the Sunday school.
He built the house now owned by Mrs.
mother, lived to a good old age. _

have found in the heart of a virgin forest

covered with hieroglyphios and curious
pictures with the feet and hands of men.
Stone utensils have also been found
there. Who the builders of these ancient
monuments were is still unsettled, but,

OANNIBALISM.
Until Mr. Hutchinson wrote it was
not generally credited to cannibalism,
but his evidence is not to be doubted.
"In 1859,”ho says, "human flesh was
exposed as butcher's meat in the market
at Duketown, old Calabar.” It almost
moms that some religious grounds may
actuate them, as the some writers says:
“In Brass (or the Mimbo country) can-
nibalism often occurs. Even within the

Imamy. killed two Aoreeka people who
weresaorifiood to the mascot his
father. In Brass. as in Bonny, they eat
all enemies taken in war. and they put
forth. as a justification for this. that do.
vonring the flesh of their enemies makes
them bravo.” The account given by the
