A large number of people congregated ' ‘ on and in the vicinity of Union Park last Tuesday evening expecting to hear Heine’s band in an open air concert as was ex- tensively announced, but the only music that saluted the ears of the patient listen- ers was the still small voice of the persist- ent mosquito, and the monrnful wail of a fog horn on the Sound. The band didn’t come to time nor tune. A meeting Of the Lit‘chfield Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was held in the M. E. church, Monday evening.

V As we go to press the rumor reaches us that “Shady” Ray the Danbnry awning and tent maker, has suddenly died. The rumor states he was struck by lightning. We are inclined to think, however, that he only sleepeth. ——“I am well and strong, and don't need to insure.” Queer logic! When you are sick or broken down you can’t get in- sured. Now is the time to insure—in the TRAVELERS, of Hartford, Conn., best and cheapest Of sound companies. Mr. Louis L.

Mr. Anderson preached a discourse of remarkable power and ability On the character of Gen. Grant Sunday evening, to a large audience of deeply interested listeners. Rev. Dr. Joseph Anderson, who gceupied his Waterbury pulpit for the last time before his vacation, preached upon the same theme to his parishioners. The New York City Post Ofiicc pays a profit to the government of nearly three million of dollars and yet the P. 0. Dept. at Washington does not allow the expense of a towel or soap for washing the faces Of the overworked and unpaid letter carriers nor a pound of ice to cool the tepid, nau- seous Croton, when they rcquier a drink. The rafile of .the crazy quilt which was to have occurred at the Temperance Bil- liard room Saturday evening, was post- poned for one week. A number of those who had taken chances had omitted to pay for the same and as paying for achance after a raffle islike paying fora horse after it is dead, Mr. Wyman wisely concluded. to postpone the drawing until all had set- tled. . , On Friday evening the board Of educa- tion met in Secretary Sturges’ office to decide on a series of readers for the public schools. The session was a lively one and the question was cussed and discussed pro and con untila latehour. The series, under consideration were—Swinton, Lippincott, and Webster-Franklin. Four ballots :were taken in the intervals of jaw-music, but no chpice could be made, therefore the question of readers lays over until the reg- ular meeting in August. Considerable excitement was caused among the residents of lower East avenue On Sunday by the disappearance of a boy named Alfred Morehouse. He had com- plained of feeling badly that morning but had decided to go to Sunday school. He 'soon got up and left the school saying he was sick. From that time nothing more was heard of him until about 4 p. m. Meanwhile his parents became alarmed at his absence and, fearing that he had been taken with a faint spell and crawled into some out of the way place, a thorough search was instituted in which all the neighbors joined. ' About four O’clock the boy was found at the house Of an aunt whither he had gone feeling too ill to walk home. —Go to Roton Point SOUTH NORWALK Fm'rznnsr—The salva_ tion army’s latest song murders the Queen’s English in the following: “For me and you,‘ and you and me, there’s a crown of vic- toree—e, a crown of victoree.”-—Wednes- day, Timothy, alias “Teddy” Liden, was brought before Judge Ely, accused of hois- terous and tumultuous carriage while in- toxicated. He plead “guilty” to taking a little beer, which he said was done to‘ pre- vent “being sunstruck.” In consideration of its being “the first time he was arrested in this term” the judge told him he would show great leniency, and fined him only $2 and cost, in all amounting to $10.22. Not having the rfunds1to settle the bill, _ he was taken to the “cool” and sung retreat at Bridgeport, to spend the “heated term.” —The following story is told by a borough resident: While watching to catch the thief who nightly stole eggs from‘his pan- try, he saw rats removing them by an .in. genious process.

If stormy postponed to the next fair day.,: It One of the Saturday papers gave a semi-K humorous account of the falling of a horSe and cart from the embankment to the bot- tom of the excavation next to J aqui’s store. The Irishmen who are working there com- plain to us that they were bothered all last week by missiles thrown at them from an adjoining printing Ofiice window and state . O the embankment was its being hit by one of these missiles. And in support Of their statements they exhibit to us an editorial shoe, the identity of which is easily estab- trary to our wishes, was left at our ofilce, and, unless soon claimed by the owner, will be presented to the Neptunes for use as a fishing smack during their trip down east. Rev. M. N. Olmsted formerly of Ridge- field, Conn., and for 40 years a member of the New York East M. E. Conferencc,died at his residence at Mt. Vernon N. Y., at half past ten Sunday night, from Catarrh of the bladder, developed by a severe cold contracted while attending Conference at Hartford, last spring. Mr. Olmsted, was born at Delhi, N. Y. but when very young became a resident of Ridgefield Conn., spending his youth and early manhood there. He was a prolific writer on relig- ous subjects,his work included the “ Walks and Words of Jesus.” For years he pub- lished The Excelsior Magazine. He had been superannuted fOr some years but up to the very last was active and busy, in all good works. He was 74 pears old, and leaves a wife and two daughters, Mrs. R. B. Disbrow and Miss Annie B.

The window was a long one, what is commonly called a glass door. It was about eight from the ground, and was flush with the side of the house, there being nO_ stoop adjoining, Mrs. Butter- worth stepped to the window to open the blinds and in some way fell out.

A steamer and barge will transport the hosts from Wilson Point, and it is thought the number of guests will be fully up to the limit of the capacity of the boats. The Congregational choir had arranged to sing jubilee and slave songs last Snu- day night, but owing to Grant’s death the idea was for the present abandoned. Later on, however, they will vary their Sunday night singing with this postponed “nigger show.” Neither the choir nor the pastor will black up, though. The Congregational Sunday school pic- nic at Roton Point on Friday was attended by about 400 persons. The re-organized band attended and gave excellent satisfac- tion. The day was pleasant and . the means of tmnspprtation were far more satisfactory than ever before, in consider- ation of which the Shnday school passed ' a special .vote of thanks to Superintendent- Crawford. The net profits of the excur— sion and picnic were about eight dollars. 0 4‘ that the real cause of the horse backing off ,- g: , NORWALK GAZETTE, TUESDAY J‘U'LYEgg 4885 The Wilson’s Point Road. v As is invariably the case when a private quarrel occurs about a highway, the pub- lic is made to suffer. Mr. Burchard, the farm hhs 'very unjustifiably, as the public think, fenced in and shut Off the entranc- es to the old Wilson’s Point road, which has been uninterruptcdly used by the pub- lic for not less than a century. In the opinion of many well versed in the law, Mr. B. had no right to do this, and can- not legally maintain any such Obstructions to a free passage to and from the waters of the Sound, and any one so disposed would be justified by law, in forcibly re- moving the same. On the other side of the case Mr. But-chard claims the Danbu- ry & Norwalk Railroad to be the Oflend ers ; that when be negotiated with that Co. for the right of way for its tracks to the Point, they were to be " west of and outside of the old, traveled road-bed, but that it has laid its tracks down upon and entirely over this old road. Not only that but has fenced in by a wire fence. and has thus forced from him and the public all access to the Point except in their cars and ovcr,‘ their track, and he, thinking the surest way to compel the railroad to get off this well established highway was to forcibly prevent all access to the Point over his property, has exercised the right to_ shut Off all ingress by ‘way of the Old- time entrance gates. .The Danbnry railroad is not a corpora- tion likely to steal land from a public highway upon which to lay its tracks. At least, no such unjustifiable action would find a moment's countenance or approval by its presentnboard of management, what- ever may have been done aforetime by the active promoters of this unjustifiably costly railroad extension. Mr. Lewis 0. Wilson, who is contest- ing in the courts the ownership of his old homestead with Mi. Bur-chard, says there never was a doubt in his mind of the right of the public to drive to and from the Point over this old time road. In this contest and conflict of opinions ouradvice is to those most seriously inconvenienced by the action of both Mr. B. and the rail-- road to call out the county commissioners and have the question authoritatively and judicially settled. The various properties on the islands in our harbor are damaged at least one half, and it is a far more seri- ous matter with the owners of real estate than with the mere pleasure driving public. __.~—“»__~_._ Attempted Suicide. Selectman Burr was notified on Sunday afternoon _ that a man . named Joseph Barnes had attempted suicide in ' Betts’ woods. He proceeded to the spot, and after investigating the circumstances or- dered the man removed to the Alms‘ House where physicians were summoned to attend him. It was found that he had endeavored to cut his throat, a dull jack- knifc being used in the attempt. The cut' was a’small one; the man’s courage prob- ably having given out before the deed was complete. Barnes drove the street sprinkler last summer, being then in the employ of Au- gustus Partric. He is now out of work. In the early part of last week he procured two ounces Of laudanum which he drank with suicidal intent. The dose was too great and he vomited the poison up. The next day he tried to drown himself in the creek, but was prevented by a man named Goldspink. Barnes is suffering from a loathsome disease and his body is in a ter- rible condition. He is now at the Alms House getting along as well as could be expected. ‘ ____‘.>__ V. WEST BEDDING. _'.Miss Josie Moffet, of Bethel, visited Miss Maggie Carson last week.

Just six weeks before his death, his mamma died, and his funeral was appointed on the same day of the week, and. at the same hour of the day as was hers. Last Monday evening Mrs. Henry Win- ship, who had left her door open expect- ing her husband, was startled at about 10 o’clock, to see a man entering her room. He made known his errand by immediate- ly proceeding to attempt to ravish her. She strugglednto defeat his object, but was obliged to yield to his superior strength, and her strength becoming ext hausted, the villain accomplished his brutal purpose and left her without uttering a word. Suspicion at 'once pointed to John Beers, a young man aged 19, who was immediately arrested, and given a hearing before Justice Duncomb, Who bound him over to the September term of the superior court. ———————o—o—>—————-—-—— Hash ne-nuhed.

Although he had‘been ailing for 'some time it was but a few days he had been confined to the house, and the announce- ment of his death was the first intimation to many of his illness.-- -Mr. Warren was well-known in the communitymnd though unobtrusive in manner will be missed in many ways. He was a member of the re- cently organized fire police. A post- mortem revealed the fact that he was suf- fering from a complication of ' difilcnlties, which would'eventually have caused his death, but his physician is of the opinion that the extreme heat of Tuesday hastened that event. His funeral was attended from the Congregational church on Friday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Tuttle _ofilciatinv. The following named members of the fire police- acted as pail bearers: , Samuel Wood, F. N. Taylor, L. T. Burnes, Chas. Bouton, W. W. Crossman and Eli Mead. The interment wits in Greens-Farms ceme- tery. , -—-———-—4+>———-— DABIEN.

It was thought best ‘to cauterize the wounds and the boy is now doing. well, although at first it was feared that something more serious might result. It was deemed the safest planv much to the grief of the owner, George Cook, to kill the dog before n'similar accident should occur. , ‘ The monotony of country life was dis— turbed Thursday morning by the marriage of Miss Kate Bishop, formerly of Noroton, to :Rev. Mr. Cole, of, Minneapolis, the ceremony taking place in the Episcopal church. The bride, attired ina neat and becoming costume with bonnet to match, entered, leaning uponfthe .am of the bridegroom.

The youngnnen succeded in making them- selves so illustrious that a reward of $25 has been offered by the town, and $10 by the church for their arrest. It is to be hoped that the offenders will be appre- hended before any more,mischief of the kind takes place. Mr. and Mrs. George Jelliff have been ' evenly matched. At the close of the , of H. 0.

Give Your Wife 1: Vacation. As the hot and depressing months are now at hand, give your wife ‘ a vacation. She needs one. Little cares are harder to bear than great responsibiltiies, and she has many more little cares than her hus- band and sometimes as great responsi- bilities. The doctors tell us that more women break down mentally than men, and'they also tell us that this is because they have more cares to carry and have to carry them continually. When your work is done you can lock it up in your office and put the key in your pocket. But she never locks her work up till sleep comes and turns the key upon it. A woman’s work is never done. Modern life has increased and intensified it. Cares have multiplied faster than conveniences. .Life is more complex, its demands are greater and more numerous, society more exciting. Who needs a vacation if she does not? And she cannot get it at home. The more quiet and restful the home is to you the more evidence that it is a care if . not a burden to her. A housekeeper can no more take a vacation in her home than a merchant in his counting house. Even though her absence occasions inconven- ience, give her an occasional vacation and thus make her happy—Exchange. __._._<..>_'_ List of Patents Issued from the U. S.

Norwalk, July 11, 1885. “— To The Public I—A CARD. have recently learned from creditable au- thority that statements are being industri- ouzgly circulated, with the evident intent of in- juring my business, to the effect that in my use of thegnew process of embnlming the dead, an exposure of.thc remains is usual and rendered necessary for its ofi‘ectual application. Noth- ingcan be further from the truth. I have used the system, which is now adopted by all the leading and best undortakers of this country, for nearly two years, durin" which time I have not used a single onnd ofp ice for preserving the bodies of the earl. And‘I am the only un- dertaker who has~not used it. But in no in- stance has it been necessary to expose any more of the person of the corpse than is seen after it is laid out in the casket for public view and burial service. The process of administer- ing it is as dczicate as the injection of a by o- dermio needle in the wrist or hand to al ay pain in the living subject. I confident] appeal to every friend of the more than a marked ,' subjects-I have used the process upon and who have witnessed its administration, to confirm my statement in this respect, and to aid in re- futing the injurious. cruel and heartless false- hood to which I have been forced to refer.
