Honor Where Honor in Due.
Though in company with a large num-
ber of earnest republicans of the borough.
the Guam deems the court of burgesses
to have been politically stupid in the
matter of appointments to office, and,
though we condemn them sincerely for
the exercise of such political stupidity,
we presume we may, without inconsis-
tency, praise them for whatever good may
be intermixed with their. revident desire to
make things generally hum. And we do
praise them for their evident intention to
place our local fire department in a state
of thorough equipment. ‘ L
. 'For many years our' fire department
has had little or nothing to aid them in
their endeavors to protect the property of
the borough. With a great scarcity of
suitable hose, with few or no modern
conveniences or appliances, the firemen
have time and again grappled with the
fire element, when it seemed sheer non-
sense to attempt to stay its progress.
Crippled by the lack of greatly needed
articles they have time and again proven
their willingness to work under the most
discouraging circumstances, and to their
work not a few of the property owners of
the borough stand in debt for the preser-
vation of much valuable and valued prop-
erty. And when the fact is considered
that our local department is entirely a
volunteer department, the promptitude of
the members in making cheerful use of
even the poor materials furnished, attests
their public spiritedness and their desire
to perform their work faithfully whether
W‘tllfifsuperiors neglect theirs or not.
The present court of burgesses have
from the first evinced an intention of aid.
ing the firemen in every consistent man-
ner. In company with the chief and
other oflcers a tour of inspection was
made last week by them, and the needs Of
the firemen thoroughly considered. This
inspection has, we understand, resulted
in an expressed determination on the part
of the burgesses to call a special borough
meeting, lay the matter before the voters,
and ask for necessary power and money
to equip the fire department with every
implement necessary for the successful
coping with destructive fires.
This step, we trust, will be taken, and
we do not believe there is a single tax-
payer who, after having weighed the
question and inspected the department,
would or will vote against areasonable
appropriation for that purpose. We do
not believe there is a taxpayer who will
pursue such a “penny wise and pound
foolish" policy as to refuse necessary aid
to those who in turn and without the
slightest recompense aid the taxpayers
and the town. -
The court of burgcssea have done well
In this, now let them continue. And
while we recognise the earnest efiorts of
Chief Prowitt in this matter we certainly
will give honor where honor is due.

A Case of Mistaken Identity.
Mr. Byington has also another route for all
Isthmian canal which he vouches for as super-
ior to all others, and advances as one reason
why Congress should adopt it, that General
Ambrose Thompson Of New York has had the
route surveyed and has purchased the right of
way. He is now probably willing to sell it to
the government at a slight advance, But the
chief reason why the Nicaragua route com-
mended itself to public favor, was that there
did not seem to be any private job connected
with it.——Mcriden Republican,
“ Our esteemed contemporary ” has not
informed himself as thoroughly as he
might have done de the isthmus transit
question. Ambrose Thompson died many
years ago. He disposed of his interests
before he died to private parties, who do
not desire to sell it to the government at
any price. Several years ago Congress
made an appropriation to ‘cstablish coal.
ing or naval stations at the harbors of
Golfito and Chiriqui, two of the best har-
bors on either side of the isthmus. When-
ever the government sees fit .to establish
its authority, as per this act of :Congress,
private parties, (headed by a wealthy citi.
zen of Bridgeport), stand ready to build a
railroad across, which shall be owned and
officered by citizens of the United States.
So that it is the Chiriqui route that should
commend itself to the public favor, “ be.
cause there is no private job in it.” We
have no legal proofs that the Nicaraguan
scheme is tainted, but the suspicion is
general and the charges freely made in
influential quarters, that it is honey.
combed with private claims.
case not one dollar is asked of the govern.
ment; in the other four millions are to be
paid down for the privilege of creating
and maintaining, to the extremity of war.
a canal, one-third of the gross revenues of
which are to be forever guaranteed to the
one.horse Nicaraguan republic. Even a
Moriden editor‘ought to see a difference
in these two schemes.
No Relief Yet.
Some time since the Consolidated road
purchased the pond lot on the southerly
side of the track near the engine houses,
at South Norwalk, for the purpose of fill-
ing in the pond and using the ground for
the switching and storing of cars. This
step was taken by the road in order to do
away with much of the switching now
done at the Washington and Main street
crossing, of which much complaint has
been made. Since the purchase gravel
trains have been gradually filling in the
low ground and the approaches thereto,
and it now looks 'as if enough ground
could be made available in the course of
two or three months: to allow, other
freights than merchandise to be stored,
loaded and unloaded there. In case this
probability proves a reality. enough extra
room will be made to allow the Daubury
and Norwalk cars to be set in on a siding
be themselves, on the northerly side of
the Consolidated tracks. This will Obviate
the necessity of this company’s using the
street crossing for a switching place, but
just how the Consolidated company
can place their freight cars on the new
tracks without using the crossing is not
yet apparent. The only way they can do
it is by breaking up their long trains’bc-
fore switching into the new yard and as
that method would take much extra time
It is not probable it will be done.
SO the switching nuisance on the Wash-
ington and Main street crossing bids fair
to continue for some time to come.

A Good idea.
The employees of the Norwalk Lock
company have formed a sick and accident
benefit society, the by-laws of which have
just been printed. The society is limited
to 75 members, and in case a member
becomes sick or risabled he is entitled to
six dollars a. week from the society for
first thirteen weeks of such sickness;
three dollars per week for the next
thirteen weeks ; and one dollar per week
for the remainder of the time the member
is ill. In case a member dies, his widow
or nominee * receives $50 from the
association. These sums are raised by
assessments of the remaining members.
The idea is an excellent one, and work.
men in other factories should organize
similar societies. = ,

Wanted—A New Magnet.
Mr. H. Ward Beecher is‘ gradually
realizing the truth of the text upon wtich
he has so often prcached~viz, “The way
of the transgressor is hard." It was
extensively advertised that he would
deliver a lecture in Chickering Hall, New
York city, one evening last week, upon
the “Moral uses of wealth and beauty.”
Less than 100 people gathered and
one-third of those were deadbeads.
“Kennel-y" announced that owing to the
scarcity of auditors there would be no
lecture, and the 66 who had paid for
tickets had their money refunded and
went home. “Hennery” also went home.
And let us hope his thoughts were pleas.
out.
In the one-
The Hat Shop Firo.
The shop formerly occupied by C. E.
Doty, on South Main street, South Nor.
walk, was destroyed by fire Thursday
morning. At that time it was occupied
by both the new Co-operative Hat compa-
nies, one of which was to have moved into
the new building in process of construc.
tion a few rods to the south, as soon as
completed.
The alarm was given at about. five
o’clock, but not until the fire had made
such headway that the only material good
the firemen could accomplish was to save
the" adjoining buildings and rescue a few
articles from the office. Putnam hose
company were first on the ground, and
prided themselves on having beaten the
Old Well boys, who, however, had an ex-
cuss for being a trifle behind their usual
good record, in‘the fact that there were
only two or three men on the ropes, and
the bad condition of the streets.
A stream of water was soon playing on
the fire, arid its spreading was prevented.
The morning was bitter cold and the coats
of the firemen were frozen solid, and their
whiskers mntted with frost.
It was found that the flames originated
in the makeshop, on the floor directly
under a window on the south sideof the
building, the whole width of the building
away from the boiler, which contained the
only spark of fire left in the building the
night before; and this fact, in connection
with the fact that the floor of the make.
shop had been thoroughly wet down’ to
guard against accidental fire, on the night
before, is considered conclusiveproof that
the fire was the work of an incendiary.
The window just over the location of the
first appearance of the flames, was found
broken in, a fact which would seem to
substantiate the theory of incendiarism.
In the “Extra" issued the same morning
by the Gazrma, the loss and insurance of
only one company, the South Norwalk
Hat Co., were given, $1,000 loss, and
$500 insurance. The other company’s
loss, (the Co-Operative Hat Co.) was fully
$3,000, insurance $1,000. The box shop
of A. P. Reed, connected with the shop
was also burned; loss $1,500, insurance
$750.
President Bush, of the South Norwalk
Hat Co., said both he and President Pier.
son of the other company. had visited
Mayor Taylor only a few days before, re.
questing police protection for their shops,
the same as was granted to the foul shops,
as it was considered that the Co-operative
companies’stood in more danger than any
other shops in town. The mayor replied
that he would think the matter over, but
nothing was ever done about it, and now
their expressed fears were justified.
There were about 150 men and women
employed in the shop, most of them being
married and heads Of families, and a ma-
jority of whom had invested their all in
the stock of the company. The blow falls
heavily upon them, coming as it does upon
the very eve of a day of promise when the
future seemed about to dispel the clouds
of adversity that have darkened the sun.
shine of hope for the past three months.
Public sympathy is universal on the side
of the companies, and words of console-
tion are heard on every hand.
A young man said that on his way home
from the Old Well Hook and Ladder Co.’s
ball, at 3 o‘clock in the morning, he heard
somebody prowling around the shop, and
the opinion is freely expressed that the
incendiary had purposely chosen for his
cowardly plan, an hour when the firemen
would be tired out from their all night’s
attendance upon the ball.
The South Norwalk Hat Co. are now
sampling at Versoy’s shop, Chapel street,
borough, and will begin manufacturing as
soon as they can secure permanent quar.
tors. Attractive inducements have been
held out to them ill Saugatuck, and an of.
fort is being made to induce them to lo.
cate here. The Board of Trade held a
meeting Saturday evening to discuss the
question, but no definite conclusion was
reached. The Co-operatice Hat CO. will
move into the new shop this week. A
third cooperative company is being form-
ed, and all of them will start off with
abundance of orders and the Godspeeds of
a host of true and tried friends.

_ St. John’s, r. a: A. at.
The repairs on the Lodge room of St.
John’s [J No. 6, F. and A. M., in the
Gazxrrs Building, are nearly completed,
and when finished, will make this room
a “thing of beauty and ajoy forever."
The walls have been newly papered with
a handsome design in rich brown, ap-
propriately paneled and bordered. The
ceiling is covered with a light, delicate
figured paper; the interior of the dome
in the centre being of a deep blue,
bejeweled with innumerable golden stars.
The furniture, carpets and paraphernalia
have been thoroughly clehned and hand-
somely decorated; new matting underlies
>thecarpet,aud nothing has been left undone
.to render the room a model of comfort,
convenience and beauty. .
This Lodge celebrated its 100th annl
vsrsary twenty years ago; having
been established In 1765. It has an in-
teresting history and its records bear the
names of many who figured prominently
in the momentous events of the country's
career.
It “passed .safely through the trying
anti-Masonic persecutions that, at
various times, were waged with such
bitterness, and its members remained
faithful and held their regular communi-
cations when the anti-Masonic sentiment
was so rabid that fidelity to the Order
meant social ostracism and calumny.
The original charter of 1765, now in
the archives of the Lodge was
granted to Benjamin Isaacs, _as the
first Master of St. John's Lodge.
The document was made out by the
Grand Lodge of “the then Province"
of New York, and in 1793, shortly after
the establishment'of a Grand Lodge in
Connecticut, It was called in, and a sub-
stitute charter granted by the latter,
within whose jurisdiction it properly
came. At the time this second charter
was taken out Samuel Burrall was Master
of St. John‘s, and Wm. Judd, “Esquire,“
Grand Master. 1 . .
A handsome collection of relicb are
displayed in a glass case in the lodge
room, among which-are many articles
having interesting historic. associations.
The apron worn by Benjamin Isaacs, the
first Master, in 1765, is here, in a remark.
ably well preserved condition; also an
apron worn in olden times in a Grand
Lodge in Germany; a sword carried by a
brother in the Revolutionary war; spec-
imensof wood from Jerusalem; copy of
a newspaper announcing the death of
George Washington, and many other
articles of equal interest including the
jewels and regalia worn by the first officers
of the Lodge. They have the Masonic
pictures and charter presented about 100
years ‘0 by a foreigner who, to prevent
their ruin, confiscated them from a lodge
room in San Domingo during the insurrec-
tion that resulted in_ the destruction of life
and property. .
The Lodge at present has about 300
members, and is In a flourishing condi.
tion. Alfred B. Camp is the present in.
cumbent in the Master’s chair. The
same room is occupied by Washington
Chapter No. 24, R. A. M., a Council, and
Clinton Commandery, No. 3. .
The handsome wall papering and
painting is being done by J. T. Prowitt
and his efficient and popular foreman
Chauncey Platt.
Ito Charter Extended.
The charter of the National Bank of
Nor-walk expired at noon to-day. ' On
Saturday evening the bank received word
that the Comptroller of the Currency had
extended its corporate existence for the
usual period of twenty years.

0113 WASHINGTON LITTER.
Wasrmvorox, Feb. 16, ’85
Du: Gaunt—Much anxiety has
been felt by leading congressmen in both
parties, lest an extra session should be
forced by reason of the ridiculous
trifling which has been going on since
last December in the House. On Thurs-
day evening the Hon. \V. H. Barnum put
in an appearance. He was in earnest inter-
view with democratic senators and mem.
here at his hotel, all the evening. Next
day he spent his time between the two
houses in earnest conversations with
senators and members. Soon it was
whispered all about that he had come
over bearing an earnest entreaty from
president-elect Cleveland that the demo-
crats In Congress should take hold of the
necessary work before them at last and
push the appropriation bills so that an
extra session‘could be avoided. Be the
rumor -true or false, there has been a
wonderful awakening since the advent of
Mr. Barnum, and several night sessions
of the House have been held, and
Saturday‘s session extended far into the
evening in an honest efiort to get one of
the appropriation bills through. An extra
session is not so imminent since the visit
of our Mr. Barnum. Representative
Bayne had charged the democrats with
conspiring to force an extra session, that
they might be hereto importuno the new
president for office for their blonds.
Senator Ingalls voiced the republican
sentiment by denouncing the same scheme
in the Senate, saying that nothing could
be more disastrous to the business of the
country, and in his opinion to the new
administration.
ran amorous com.
The Senate marched over to the House
on Wednesday, bearing the boxes con-
taining the electoral votes of the states.
They were duly handed down and an-
nounced by Senator Hoar on the part of
the tellers, and at the conclusion, Hr.
Edmonds announced the result in a
manner challenging ' some criticisms
because of the use of the phrase that from
the-returns Graver Cleveland “appears to
be” elected, etc. It now turns out that
the. phraseology used by Mr. Edmonds
was a copy almost verbatim, of that made
by the President pro tom, of the Senate,
John Langdori, in announcing the election
of Washington and Adams for the first
term. At that time the joint‘session was
held in the Senate, and Charles Thomson
was selected to .notify Washington of his
election, and Sylvanus Burn to notify
Adams.
Mr. Edmonds does not believe that the
vice-president is empowered by the con-
stitution to declare the election of a pres-
ident. It only emphasizes the need of the
passage of some plain and unequivocal
electoral law. .

In the Post Office apprOpriation bill,
the clause earnestly recommended by the
National Board of trade recently convened
here, paying to American Steamship lines
a portion of the money received on letters
conveyed by them, was defeated under
the lash and cry of “subsidy." Tile board
of trade was composed of leading busi.
ness men of all political parties, and they
averred that the passage of such a measure
would do more to revive American
shipping interests and trade with South
American and other maratimc countries,
than all treaties that could be passed.
Of course there is no more “subsidy” in
it than in paying similar amounts to
railroads, but the scare was sufficient to
stampede enough of the unthinking and
ignorant members to defeat the clause.

The river and harbor bill was kicked
about and bufieted all the week. with a
mlghtynarrow chance left of its final fail-

THE INAUGURATION .
Unprecedented efforts are being made
for unprecedented glories at the coming
inauguration. More than double the
amount subscribed for the Garfield inaug-
ural is already 'in‘the hands of the com-
mittee of arrangements. The Louisiana
Lottery fraud sent up $500 Saturday.
The Pension Building is being temporar-
ily fitted up for the Inaugural ball, by a
large force of workmen. A committee
of "unlon men" called on the contractor
Friday and formally notified him that
he had non union men at work, and they
must be dismissed. The contractor re-
plied that the building belonged to the
United States, and all his workmen were
citizens of the United States, and had a
right to earn their living in its service,
and that he should employ the best men
he could get without regard to what party,
society or church tney might belong. and
he should not employ a poor workman,
because he chanced to be a member of a
working man’s union. The committee
departed to report, and what the result
will be is not yet known. There is much
carpenter work to be done, and but a
short time to do it in, and of the 650
carpenters inthis city, over 600 of them
belong to the “union." The question of
wages is not at ‘all involved, yet the
inaugural committee fear trouble because
the contractor so firmly announced that
he should employ none but the best
workmen, and so long as he paid the
highest wages, he would not tolerate any
outside interference.
raormus, 'rnon'nnx I
There is no end of disquietude and
solicitude visible in the democratic ranks
as to the fates of the future. It is plain
that the “moss back” leaders here thor—
oughly distrust their new president. They
seem to be in the condition of the hen
that hatched out a gosling—they can’t
make out what they have brought into
existence. There is an open fight between
the friends of Mr. Hendricks and ex-
Senator McDonald, of Indiana. Senator
Dan. Voorhees left for Albany Friday
night with letters from twenty-two senators
urging the placing of McDonald in the
cabinet, which it is charged Hendricks is
opposing. The meanest part of igis their
wives (both noted leaders of society) have
been dragged into the squabble, and dem-
ocratic champions of both charge alter-
nately that the ladies are jealous rivals,
becauseof their husbands‘ distinguished
positions. Mr. Barnum, when here, an.
nounced that he could not and would not
acCept a cabinet position: If Mr. McDon-
aid was to make the same declaration it
would no doubt relieve Mr. Cleveland.
There is the intensest 'solicitude because,
no hint or intimation can be reliably wrung
from the new president as to who he will
appoint to his cabinet,

tration, but his recent resignation as
Connecticut-state prison director, coupled
with the fact of his having made several
trips in recent months to Asia Minor,iand
his frequentaud earnest interviews with
his party friends in Congress, justify the
surmise that he too might be coaxed to
accept a consul generalsbip in Egypt or
the HonLand. Information reaches here
that Governor Bowers is outstripping all
the other New Haven patriots in his suc-
cessfnl circulation of a petition for the
New Haven collectorship. _He is wise to
have abandoned an assault upon the New
Haven post office, as a prominent and in.
fluential democrat said here last week
that Sperry's place could not be captured
from him if any regard is to be paid to
the wishes of the great mass Of the people
of that city, who, without party distinc-
tion and with scarce an exception, save
of those who :wish the office for them-
selves, desire his retention. This is most
disheartening to at least half a dozen who
incontinently crave it. It is conceded
that Mr. Bowers is and will 'he the beat

will prove greatly embarrasing to Repre-

‘Old Time Boycottere. ,
Acopy of the Boston Gasettc has been
'shovvn us by our esteemed Bedding cor-
respondent, dated March 12,. 1770—one
hundred and fifteen years ago. The tone
of the paper is just what might have been
expected in those times of British oppres.
sion, when arrogant tyranny, by the very
intolerance of its persecution, nursed into
being and activity the, spirit Of liberty-
loving independence that wrought its
overthrow.
This ancient journal devotes a consider-
‘ able space to the details of a riot caused
by the high-handed outrages of His
Majesty‘s troops that were quartered in
Boston for the express purpose of “ enforc.
ing opprefiive menfures ; to awe and control
the legiflutive as well as executive Power
of the Province, and to quell a Spirit of
Liberty which, however it may have been
bafcly oppos’d and even ridicul'd by fome,
would do honor to any - ge or-Country."
In the fracas four citizens were killed and
several wounded. One of the killed was
shot “through his belly and the ball was
cut out at his back." Another, “ two balls
entered his breaft, one of them in fpecial
goring the right dobe of the lungs; and a
great part of the liver most horribly." An
indignation meeting was called, and a
committee, embracing such historic names
as John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Joseph
Warren and others, appointed to pray the
lieutenant-governor to withdraw the trbops
from the town which, by persistentimpor-
tunities on the part of the committee, was
finally done. .
The oppressive taxation of British im-
ports at this time was burdelrsomc and
unjust, and the “ Merchants and Traders”
of Boston had‘just organized and made a
British goods until the tax was removed.
Citizens’ meetings werc'held supporting
them, and voting to adopt the selfsamc
means of demonstrating their disapproval,
that is so prevalent and so potent in our
day—Boycotting. The Gazette gave the
minutes of the meeting ill the town of
Roxbury (Boston) March 8, 1770, when it
was

in falsehoods, and of a character too coutempti-
bio for notice.——Sonllnel.
Indeed! Well, had the G‘XZI’I‘TE the
prOphetio vision of its “lymphatic but
nevertheless highly esteemed contempor-
ary,” it might have truthfully written up
the tragedy in advance, with a “Do Their
Worst” heading, and had it in cold type
before the tragedy occurred. But why
does our esteemed contemporary fiap its
ears and bray and “kick" with such
veheruence? Is it because the Gazrtr'rx’s
extra came out just before its own regular
edition and thus spoiled an improbable
addition to its little charity circulation?
Or does it kick because kicking ls its nat.
ural mode of warfare?

Bulls aim their horns—jackasses 'kick their
heels." .

The explosion of a kerosene lamp in a
chicken incubator resulted in a $80,000
fire in the agricultural department of
Amherst College last Wednesday. Better

compelling the chicks to trace their par.

The Fairfield County Agricultural Societi-
As stated-in the recent article printed in
the Guerra relative to the above society,~ .
make this year’s fair 3 success. But that
there might be no misunderstanding as to
the manner'In which the affairs of the
society had been managed, and the
ciation, Secretary Edwin Hoyt recently
prepared a circular letter giving all the
necessary information regarding the finan-
cial condition of the society, and sent a
copy to each stockholder. From one of
these copies we clip the following extracts,
which will be of general in‘t‘erestr— .
The real estate ‘owned .by the corporation
cost 89,271.79. There has been paid out upon
the grounds, for buildings, stables eta Is,
grand stand, track, water, etc" 814388.95, a
total Of $23,558.74. quon this amount we still
owe $9,500, all to the orwalk Savings Bank.
The balance, 814,058.74, haa‘beea paid from the
earnings of the society and from stock paid in.
The amount of stock subscribed is 465 shares
of 820 each, or $9,300. Upon these shares
$6,840 stands credited to stockholders, and
82.960 unpaid November 17, 1884:. While 86,340
stands credited to stockholders’ payments, yet
the corporation has not receive much over
85,000 in cash of the amount stated, from the
fact that the charter allowed each annual mem-
ber and life member one-half paid share of
stock. Th9 amount lost to the corporation by
this pr men of the charter we cannot now
. practly tale, but believe it to be 81,000. Thus
it Will be seen that the stockholders have paid
about 80.300 of the 814,286.96 expanded, the
balance having been paid from the earnings
and profits of the society- The amount of the
mortgage at first was $11,600. The interest on
this was paid semi-annually in advance. The
was aid promptly to June 1, 1884. It should
also 8 understood that improvements have
been made from year to year, which have been
paid from the earnings of the society, 'and
which do not appear in the figures. Another
fact also which ma not be known, to, that this
society has annually ollered and paid is or
premiums than the state tsooiety, and don lo
(and in some cases three , times), the amount.
paid by any town or; county society in the state.
t should also be remembered that the weather
during the last two exhibitions was very un-
favorable for attendance, in consequence of
which the racer ts must have been lessened
from 81,500 to 8 .000» :The exhibitions of these
two fairs were very fine.,a_nd elicited the hearty
praise and commendation of nearly all who
attended. In consequence of the two unfavor-
able for seasons attendance, we were unable,
after paying all other expenses to meet the
June and ccemher interest." The Norwalk
Savrngs Bank has for the last two year! do-
manded a payment of 81,500 on the 080mm lo,
that the loan might be reduced to 88, . av-
mg felled to pay the J one and December inter-
est and this call for $1,500; the bank took
measures to foreclose the mortgage. ' '
t . It was the unanimous opinion of
the directors, among whpm are the largest
stockholdersatbat the best and wisest course
was . " ‘ ’ v, in calling in all
unpaid stock, the amount,unpaid as above
slated, being 02,960. This all paid in would
pay the back interest and interest to June 1,
1885, also pay the $1,500 demanded by the
Savings Bank, thus reducing the uteri ago
debt'to $8,000, and leave from two tot roe
hundred dollars in the treasury, after paying
all other debts.
The ground has been well fitted up at heavy
expense, which is largely paid for, and is for
this purpose worth what it cost the society,
andfito hold the property‘and strive to make it
realize aprofitto the stockholders, and be. a
benefit to farmers, breeders and others, is be-
lieved to be the best course to pursue. It is,
therefore, recommended and hoped that each
stockholder " " " f ' do all he‘
can to make the annual exhibitions not only
large, interesting and useful, but also pays
.arge dividend to stockholders. The directors
are fully determined to do all they can to bring
the corporation into an honorable and useful,
as well as payin life. To do this requires the
united 06011 of t e stockholders.
It should be stated that the Interest on
the mortgage has already been paid to
June, 1885, and the foreclosure proceed.
tags have been withdrawn by the bank.
The managers of , tho-association have
decided to hold their fair this year on
September 15, 16, 17 and 18.

Lea'islative Proceedings.
The past week has not been a very
lively one in the legislature, asfar as the
transaction of business was concerned.
Almost the entire Tuesday session was
consumed in fighting over the Pigott
matter. Senator Smith by unanimous
consent, introduced two hills which had
been sent him by mail and had been de-
layed beyond the time when the introduc.
tion of new business was to cease.
On Wednesday the Senate passed the
resolutions incorporating Hobbie Post G.
A. 11., of Stamford, also a resolution
amending the charter of the Putnam
Cemeteryassociation, which is now ready
- to organize.
_' = The committee ouIInc'Orporations grant-
’ed leave to petitioners to withdraw bill
for steam heating company in Bethel, an-
other bill of hearly the same import "
.before'the assembly. A resolution was
passed empowering the Stamford Savings
Bank to erect a bank building, and a bill
amending Chap. 102 P. A. 1831, was also
passed. This bill relates to the bounty
.paidfor planting and maintaining shade
trees and as amended, reads as follows :
Section 1. Every person planting,
protecting and cultivating elm, maple,
tulip, ash, basswood, oak, black walnut.
hickory, apple, pear, or cherry trees, not
more than sixty feet apart, forthree years,
alon any public highway, shall be- en-
title to receive an annual bounty there-
after, of ten cents for each trees so planted
and cultivated, to be paid out of the state
treasury; but such bounty shall not be
aid for more than five years, nor any
onger than such tree or trees are main-
tained. '
The resolution incorporating the Benja-
min Isaacs’. Masonic. and Benevolent asso—
ciation of Norwelk, was also passed.
On Thursday thoreport of the Westport
and Saugatuck horse railroad company
was accepted. The senate suspended the
rules and elected John E. Keeler, judge,
and Clarence L. Reid, deputy judge. of
the Stamford borough court, and subse-
quently the house did the same. Repre-
sentative Nickerson’s (Bedding) bill
making owners of dogs liable for damages
to property through said animals, was
rejected after.sn adverse report by the
committee on agriculture. After some
other routine :-business the legislature
adjdurned.’

A Nick Piokor’a Description.
Our jobber went' to hear Josefiy play
' the piano‘ at ‘ the Opera House Friday
night, and describes the great musician's
performance thusly :
. “At just 8 o'clock Mr. Josefiy walked
up to the rack, mounted the stool, shook
,up his case, fingered up his sorts, took a
squint at his take, and pitched i... :1.
set his headlines in double pica lend-4.1
with noupareil slugs, then rattled up
_ four lines of solid~ agate. hanging inden-
tion, without changing his rule; slung in
a small cap ,snb-head thin spaced, and
went for the body matter at therate of
five thousand ems an hour, whooping It
up so fast you couldn't see the nicks, until
‘all of a. sudden he ran against a wrong
font letter and had to pick it out, and
throw it in again. ' Then he buckled into
..it. livelier than .- before ; halluspaced a row
, of asterisks, put in a quad line reading his
stick at the same time, corrected an out,
punched down a space and dumped it on
a galley without getting off his stool; then
set a scared display line and went onto
fat bourgeois double loaded, and the way
he made it fly was a caution. He traveled
from the index box to the em quads, fired
in the diphthongs, triphthongs, semi-
colons, accents and parallels; skittered
up among the fractions, back 'to the ~
'tbreeam spaces, and over into the italics
with lightning celerity, until, just as he
was quadding out the signature line he
was taken with the wrist drop and pied
the whole stick-full all over the lower
case;then‘=he leaned back on his stool,
dropped both hands On his lap and looked
discouraged, but.tlre audience clapped
their hands with deli ht to assure him that
it was the prettiest p ece of composition
they had ever witnessed."
The Old Well Ball. .
The annual ball of the Old Well Hook
and Ladder company, held in Music Hall,
city, Wednesday night, was one of the
most brilliant social successes of . the 563-,

and the company have reason to" feel
proud of the manner in which it was re.
ceived. The Old Well boys cannot be
excelled in their admirable manner of
managing such undertakings. The floor
was constantly occupied by a whirling,
balancing, saluting, ever-changing throng
of gay and handsome lasses illustrating
the “poetry-of motion,” as the usual
participants intho Old Well’s prompnades
know so well howto do. The music by
Moeslin and his orchestra, wash; his usual

until about 3 o’clock, when the company

Saturday night they intercepted three
foul men (Hungarians) as the came off the

Emroa Gazxrraz—“Make life worth
living In Norwalk" by calling the atten-
tion of the thinking portion of the com-
munity to the lectures or discussions
which are announced to take place upon
the subjects of Free-Trade and 9. Protective
Tarifl. These questions are'of the great.
est importance to the whole people, and
the gentlemen who are to discuss them'
are among the ablest advocates of their
respective views, and their generosity in
devoting their time and their talents for
the public benefit should be recognized
and rewarded by the compliments of at
least full houses. The lecture delivered
by the Hon. David A. Wells was an able
argument for Free-Trade, or rather a tariff-
for revenue, and merited a much larger
audience than listened to it. RESIDBNT.
Enrroa Gazsrraz—I am an occasional
attendant at the Congregational church,
South Norwalk,,and had the good fortune
yesterday morning to hear the former
pastor, the Rev. H. N. Dunning. In the
course of my life I have heard many able
discourses, but think I never before heard
one whose truths went-deeper into the
recesses of my own heart. Faith, Hope
and Love were to me once more vital
principles and living forces in my soul.
A more able expositor of spiritual truth
than Mr. Dunning is seldom to be met
with in the pulpit of New England. “
