The Advocate thinks the people of Nor- walk, after their recent experience with a “water famine" can appreciate the senti- ment of the poet: “You never miss the water till the well runs dry.” Speaking of “Bob Bones,” who has joined the salvation army in South Nor- walk, the Bridgeport Post says “for the last twenty years he has spent much of his time in this city (in jail)." D Miss Edith M. Hoyt, formerly of South Norwalk, was married in Scranton, Penn., on Thursday, August 27th, 'to Mr. Henry A. Goulden, of New York.

It. measures four feet and one half in length. He is training him to assist in collecting fares from beats.” The hotter-“Iron Age," with a record of 2.19}, dropped head on the track while trotting the third heat in a race in Bridge- port last Thursday.

Shortly after arriving it was taken- violently with colic, and in spite of the best of treatment died in a short time. Mr. Gregory valued the horse at $1,000. It could pace in 2.30. The Bridgeport Standard thinks the re- cent encampment to have fully “justified the wisdom of dividing the force and put- ting only a portion into, the field- at one time." We don’t think so at all. If the recent camp developed any fact of value to the brigade it was that the penny wise policy of affording only half the force for the practical instruction of an encampment must go.—-Adoocatc. ' , Manager Mitchell has come to a very sensible conclusion regarding the disposal of seats at the Opera House this year. Hereafter the cheap seats are to be in the gallery and that portion of the theatre is to be devoted to the sole use of the “gal- lery gods." The entire lower portion of the house is to be reserved, and thus when entering with ladies one will not be under the necessity of wading through pools of tobacco juice and.othcr kindred annoy- anccs. ~Go to Roton Point. To one who remembers South Norwalk or “Old Well" in the days when the steamboats Citizen and Westehester, or at alater period the Fairfield and Nimrod used to race to and from New York, a great change is noticeable along the bar. her, and east of the old Barn Mash Lane, now Main street and Woodward avenue. Docks have been built, and factories, houses and hotels now occupy much of the salt meadows which once afforded good crops to the farmers of the interior. It will not be long before the inhabitants of the city may truthfully be numbered at 5,000. ' —Buy your Rubber Boots at Hoyt’s.

On next Tuesday night, the opening of the renovated Opera House, Manager Mitchell has secured the services of the Wheeler and Wilson orchestra to tarnish music for the entertainment. This an- nouncement should be sufficient to crowd the house. The festivals given by the Broad River Sunday schools on Tuesday and Wednes- day cvenings attracted a large number from the borough, and from all accounts they had a glorious time, lots of singing, some elocutiou, plenty of music and some- thing to eat. Friends may desert an editor, rival may seem him, and he may fail to get a post office, but as long as his scissors do not break and the roaches do not eat up his paste, hope turns its golden light upon him, and his future has a trade dollar sil- ver lining which sorrow cannot corrode—- Ansonia Sentinel. ‘ A special circular has been issued by the Consolidated road announcing the opening of the East Norwalk station and designating trains which will stop there for passengers as followe: Trains leaving New York at 5:00, 7:00, a. m., and 8:00 p. m.

I A correspondent at Norwalk, Conn., writes that there are four tide mills within fifteen miles of there, and that in dry times this unfailing source of power is greatly appreciated by the farmers, long lines of wagons being seen, waiting to have the grist ground. Two of these mills are said to have single-acting turbine wheels, with a simple flap" gate to admit_water to the pond. Our correspondent suggests that there are probably many more tide mills in use in the country than is generally supposed.-- qciontijlc: American.

Fires in Norwalk andVlclnity. ‘ While a platform dance was in progress in Cranberry Plains Thursday evening, the barn of S. T. Rubcy close by was dis. covered to be on fire, and immediately the dancers left the scene of festivity for the burning building, and organized them- selves into a fire company. Armed with buckets, they fought the flames bravely with ’water from a well near at hand. The progress of the fire, however, was so rapid that their efforts were powerless to arrest it, and despite their vigorous work the flames were soon communicated to the carriage shop adjoining, and in an incredibly short space of time both build- iugs were in ruins. The water supply in “file well became exhausted, leaving the firemen powerless to prevent the destruc- tion. The live stock was removed from the barn and saved, and many of the con- tents of the shop were also rescued. The loss, however, is heavy, and there is no insurance on any of the property. Michael Barbour’s house on Water street was discovcrcil to be on fire Thursday. Mrs. Barbour had been working near a hot stove and her apron caught fire. Without noticing this fact she finished her work and taking off her apron threw it into the dirty clothes basket. She then went into an adjourning room. Soon after the fircowas discovered. Assistance was sought and after a few minutes lively work the fire was put out by pails of water. Damage slight. New Canaan had a chance to test her fire engine on Tuesday evening last, and to prove the wisdom of its purchase. About 7 o’clock fire was discovered in the large shoe factory of Benedict & 00. It originated between the rafters of the front porch and promised lively work. Buckets of water were thrown upon the flames, and they were thus kept under control until the arrival of the firemen who speed- ily extinguished the blaze. The fire was probably caused by rats who had ignited some matches which they carried to their nest. Benedict’s shoe shop employs '75 persons and its pay roll is $600 a week. The factory was only slightly damaged, and work was not interrupted. ' Danbury had three fires Friday and the firemen were tired when night came. The first fire was Merson’s mills in Middle River district, and occurred about 1 a. m. The moills with their contents were entirely consumed. Loss about $4,500. About 1 p. m. another alarm was sounded, this fire being in the cellar of a new house owned by Randlc and White, near the head of Franklin street. The department responded, but the fire was put out before their arrival. No damage. A half hour, later a third alarm was struck, caused by a fire amongst the ruins:of the old hat shop in the rear of the Danbury and Nor- walk car shops. The part of the building which remained after the fire of some months ago which destroyed the greater part, was consumed in spite of the hard work of the firemen. Loss about $250. --4+>—--r;———— ‘ Some Interrogatories. Just a word to the temperance people who meet lip-stairs o‘nights : Do you think you can tumble rocks down stairs, kick the stove over, throw the altars and pulpits from one end of the lodge room to the other and back again, play foot-ball with the organ, jump, wres- tle, turn somersaults, and raise sheol gen- erally, in the dead of night, without curdling the slumbers of the two meek and lowly monlders of public sentiment who sleep the calm, sweet sleep of the righteous on the floor below? or do you care a continental?

Last week a young man from Ohio was in town visiting all of the prominent onion growers for the purpose of learning the manner of cultivation. He enquired close- 1y into the way of preparing the ground. the cultivation of the crop, and the man- ner of marketing. He was sent to this section for this purpose by a number of farmers near Cincinnati, who contributed to a fund to defray his expenses. They propose to go into onion raising in that section. The gentleman stated that the onions raised in that locality are not of as good quality, not being as solid as those raised at the East. . On Thursday a most daring robbery was committed at Compo. Capt. Charles Al- len and his wife, who live alone at the lat- ter place, locked their house about ten o’clock and started for Norwalk. During their absence someone who was evidently acquainted with the condition of things, went to the barn and procured a hammer with which they pried off the pantry win- dow shutter through which they gained ac- cess to the house. Finding the inner door locked they broke out the panels of the door and after rummaging the lower part of the house they went up stairs into a bedroom and overhauled the bureau drawers, taking a number of silver spoons, a revolver, several coats, a pair of shoes and some other articles. The thieves failed to find fifty dollars which was in one of the drawers of the bureau. They evidently left in a hurry. The spoons stolen were highly prized by Mrs. Allen, as they came to her from her father, Capt.

Prosecuting Agent Montgomery, of Nor- wicll, recently raided a photograph gal. lery, thinking to “discover a mare‘s nest" of concealed liquors. His search, how- ever, resulted in nothing but the destruc- tion of valuable plates by their exposure to the light. At the drummers‘ convention held in Wallingford Wednesday, twenty-three drum corps were present with 320 drum. mers. They ,had a rattling racket, and the citizens of towns for twenty miles around wonder where all the rats came from so suddenly and so numerous. Tobacco raisers in the Connecticut Val- ley_ have profited by the forcwarnings of the approaching cold season. and are working nights cutting and harvesting their crops in order to escape the frosts. Some crops up the Housatonic valley were bitten, but prompt action by the cutters forestalled the frosts in most cases. A few nights ago Mrs. Lyman Case, of Winstcd, a widow over 70 years old, was struck on the head by a drunken Irishman named Fitzgerald, who was quarreling with his wife while Mrs. Case was passing. She fell insensible into the street and the night being very dark she was not dis- covered until a horse and carriage ran over her, when she was taken up and found to have sustained injuries that may prove fatal. A tough cat story comes from Water- bury and is vouched for by an editor, who is alsoa Sunday school teacher. A cat was crossing the New England track when a train came along and cut it in two. The tail end remained on the track while the head and forelcgs trotted up to a barn, where some men caught and killed it. The tail and hind legs on the track kept wiggling until the head was killed several several rods away, when both parts he- came quiet—a condition which the narra— tor’s conscience has not yet attained. A. E. Moore, ex-captain of Company I of Winstcd, is afflicted with a mania for balloon ascensious, and also with money and pluck enough to gratify it. He made his third ascent Wednesday, taking with him a photographer who took twelve views of the country over which they had passed. The balloon came down at Stonington, thirty—five miles from the starting point. They experienced no difficulty in making a landing. Theirhighest altitude was one and one-half miles. While in the air they had splendid views of the Hudson river, the Catskills, Mt. Tom and long Island sound. ' BAD Nun's—Frankie Fowler, aged 8, of Preston, was drowned while fishing last week. Edward Wildman, of Fairfield, fell if a load of wood a few days ago, and broke himself up so he will die. Clinton W.

Robert West, D. D., of Chicago, recently made before the Home Missionary society. We reprint the extract, believing that it will prove of unusual interest to every native and resident New Englander. Mr. West said :— _ I believe that we are fully able to go up and possess the land ; first, because, I believe In the all-conquering Anglo-Saxon race, especially as it is concentrated in the Yankee of to-day. We have heard a great deal to-night about the Germans, the Swedes, tho Bohemians, the Irish and others. What of it? suppose there are 34pm cent. of the foreign population in this country in certain cities. In Chicago there are 75 per cent. of foreign population; but the other 25 per cent. are Yankees, and they man- age the opposing three-quarters by simply taking them by the nape of the neck, telling them what to do, and showing them how to do it. It is the Yankee against the world. He will conquer every time, You are afraid of the Irish; I am not. You think he wants to turn this country into Ireland. No, he has had enough of Ireland, where he came from; he “doesn’t want any more of that. The German drops in here as the water drops into the sea. Why, just look at It! We have a mayor in Chicago; on may have heard _of him. He manages a l the foreign population; they do just as he tells them. He came from Connecti- out;he was one of their contributions to our mission work. They trained him in Yale col- lege; trained him up in the way he should go ; and oh, how be h ~s gone! Look at the politic- al wheel ; the Yankee turns it every time. He makes the machine, and runs it. He organizes your great corporations. He is at the head of allyour enter rises. He tunnels your moun- tains, and bri gen your streams. Suppose a colony of Swedes did settle on the Delaware in 1636. What .01 it? Why, it they had come 200,000 strong, and got the whole Delaware valley, a few dozen Yankees would have come over from Plymouth, and, in two weeks, man- aged them out of all of it; and the Joke of it would have been, the Swedes wouldn’t have known It ; would have gone ofi‘ satisfied that it was all right. Look at Spain! The Spaniards came here hundreds of years before the Pil- grims. They got the whole southwest part of tlfe countrv ; at least all which France did not capture. but «did these two nations do? They were ahead of the Yankees; they had the best part of the country ; the great fertile val- leys, mountains, fields, everytlung' parceled if. out, set their soul on it ; thought: they owned it ; but they‘didn’t. Where are they today? The Yankee not it out of every one there; they went off, hardly knowing what was the matter. In France, when any trouble comes before the judge, he always asks: “Who 13 the woman?” Heremhen any mischief or great good is gom on. we always ask: “Who is the Yankee? Whv, down In Mexico, in the state of Pueblo, a chandelier hung in the old cathedral for a cen- tury; it had a thousand dollars’ worth pf gold in it. One day a man came along, admired it, told the Mexicans it needed cleamng. He said he would clean it for nothing. They took him up. He did clean it, and made four hundred dollars clear money from the scrapings. He was a Yankee. He is everywhere. He builds the first dance house and saloon ; he builds the - first school house and church , he is the best man and the worst man. Rule him, and' you can manage the rest. He knows a good thing when he sees it. If there Is any man In the world who knows how to lay up treasures in heaven, and ten r cent._on earth at the same time, it is the ankee. I believe in him. I take off my hat to him. Now, you think I am a ‘ New Englander? No, I am not. I was not born there; I never ex not to be ; but I know a New Englander when see him. I believe In the Yankee. ‘ O p List of Patents Issuodfrom the U. 8. Patent Ofiicefortho week ending Sept. 1, for the State of Connecticut, furnished as from the ofiicopf John E.
