Henry Matheis is fortunate in having recovered the cardinal bird which escaped from hls summer garden about a month ago. It disappeared from its (age and was not seen again until Wednesday, when it astonished its old master by appearing unto him while he was singing a song which the bird had often heard him sing. It was decayed into the barn and is once more in captivity in its old quarters and is apparently all the happier for its furlough. “Owen Rice," says the Bridgeport Morning News, “belongs in Norwalk but- occasionally makes a trip to this city and seldom does so without coming into col- lision with the police.

Large quantities of the old railroad ties have been burned the past week beside the track of the Consolidated road, sup- posed to have been fired by spark: from the locomotives. What a pity they could not have been used for kindlings by the poor. ‘ Saturday Mr. George Holmes “laid on- our table" a half dozen. hens' eggs of monstrous acreage.

Baker’s Chocolate and 00008 preparations have been the standard of purity and excellence for more than one hundred years. Profuse floral decorations and general brightness reigned in all the city churches on Sunday, in celebration of the recur- rection. Preparations ware made for Easter and special services held. In the Congregational church the closing exero cises, held in the evening, consisted of an Easter concert, conducted chiefly by the members of the Sabbath school.

Thexoads in this towu are in a worse condition than has been known for many -years,_the mud being so deepin many places as to be almost impassable.

The deceased was a son of Lewis Keeler, i'brmerlya merchant of this place. but who was at present with his deceased son, carrying on business- in London. Mr. Albert Relym, who has been dangerously ill for some weeks is still in a critical condition; and his father, Rev. B. J. Relyea, is quite indisposed from over exertion, caused by attendance upon his son. For this reason the service at the Greens Farms church was omitted on 'Fast day, and his pulpit was supplied on Sunday by Rev. Zalmon B. Burr. Michael Cond on, a young man employed by Taylor & Richards, while engaged in unloading grain at Saugatuck last Tues- day, met with a serious accident. By a movement of the ,car caused by the striking against it of another car which was being switched, he was thrown against alargc hock which passed through the muscles of his left arm, above the el- bow causing a very painful wound.

William Oliver, aged 65 years, died Fri- day. and was buried from the Congrega- tional church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Slack officiating. He was an old haiterand the fraternity turned out largely at his fun- eral. George Clark’s little girl, aged 7 years died of the measles on Friday, and was b‘ur~ led the next day, mortification setting in, even before she was dead. She was a bright, "forward child, and a favorite with all who new her. We’re not going to be deprived of the sunshine of John Pearce’s presence per manently, after all.

There was acollapse inthe tar side walk near Fisher’s Hall, 0n Good Friday. The earth gave way beneath it, at the spot where the water pipe runs into the cellar. of the block, probably caused by the loos; ening of the frost. It made a hole big enough to set a barrel in, and a foot deep. The Easter services in the Congrega, tional church consisted in singing, dec- lamations etc., by the Sunday School, re. marks bylhe pastor, etc. The music was good, and the floral display also good. The Episcopalians held special services in the afternoon which were attended by a crowded house, and were up to the usual high standard of St. Thomas. School teacher Candee of the Centre school preached in the Methodist church Sunday morning, Brother Barton being at Conference. Candee is a young fellow, studying to prepare himself for“the cloth." A hatter who heard him Sunday said,' "as a ‘snot’ preacher he’s better than most of the ‘jours’, and when he gets his card he’ll be as brilliant a sky pilot as any man in the trade.” The presses, type and other material constituting the Ledger printing oflice having been sold to W. S. Croiut of South Norwalk, it was moved and loaded onto the train on Tuesday. The work of lowering the presses through thewindow was witnessed by a large assemblage of mourning Bethelites who wept to recall the hallowed memories that clustered 'round the institution; of the good that it had done; the pleasure it had given; the friends it had made; the enemies it had laughed at: its Yellow Spam, which boomed the matrimonial business up to an unprecedented pitch and made the wizzled up heart of many a wrinkled old maid, beat fast at the thought that while Spam holds out to burn there is hope, etc. The group of bystanders who watched the process of gutting the office, with heavy hearts, turned away when all was over, and wondered howlongit would be before the “long felt want" would be filled again with a Bethel paper. And the solemn bell which, from its cupola on our church wastollinga call to Lenten service, seemed to say in mournful numbers: “Nevermore." BXDGEFIELD. J. B.
