Sturges’ Deaf and Dumb Talk.

Late on the night of election, long after
the smoke of battle had ’cleared away and
the extent of casualties had been ascer-
tained, a party of pedestrians lromcward
bound, “experienced” a shower of cob-
blestones near the corner of Water street.
The stones came flying through the air
thick and fast, and dangerously accurate
in their aim. The party instantly started
on a tour of investigation and discovered
that the stones were thrown by Robert S.
Mctrash, a deaf and dumb mnlatto, who
is an inoffensive, good-natured fellow
generally, but who, on this occasion, was
simply working off a superfluity of elec-
tion excitement superinduced by the ab-
sorption of fire-water. 'Ofilcer DcForest
was summoned, who, after running the
gantlct of Robert’s cobblestone battery,
captured the assailant and lodged him in
the lockup. The next morning he was
brought before Justice Sturges on a
charge of drunkenness.

Mr. Sturges, who is secretary of the
board bf school visitors, has a fine flow of
foreign and domestic languages; but his
familiarity with the deaf and dumb
“tongue” being somewhat limited he - ex-
perienced some difficulty in getting the
conversation started. His first attempt
wasafter this manner :

“Did you throw stones, so fashion ?” at
the same time making a violent motion
with his hand as if throwing a stone. He
flourished a little too high, though, and
knocked a glass globe off the chandelier.
Robert smiled. .

Then in desperation Mr. S. made anoth-
cr attempt : ‘

“Did you lubricate your internal anato—
my yesterday with forty-rod. jig-water—
like this ?“ suiting the action to the word
by picking up an ~inkstaud loaded with
red ink and tipping it suddenly to his lips,
causing his immaculate shirt front and
linen collar to blush in copious crimson.
Robert smiled with more emphasis, and
picking up a pencil and paper he wrote, at
the same time pointing to His Heller’s
“bloody shirt :”

“That will all come out in the wash-

ing.”

The Justice frowned, wiggled over to

the other side of his shirt and turned his

back to the bosom as if he were not even

acquainted with it by sight, then wrote on

a slip of paper and handed it to' the silent

prisoner. It contained this significant le—

gend: ’

“One dollar and costs—total, $6.76.” .

Pioneer Hook and Ladder company will
hold their second sociable of the season at
the Athcnzcunl next Tuesday night. These

ing away the monotonous ‘long winter
evenings.

A “er-and testimonial benefit” will be
tendered to Ike Williams in Military Hall,
South Norwalk, next Monday night. Sing-
ing, dancing, clubswinging, wreslling and

Ike Williams and Steve Taylor, ex-cham-
pion heavy weight of the U. 8.

talent, will entertain the people. Dec. 4,
a lecture on astronomy will be given by
Professor Brooks, and last, but by no
means least, Dr. J. P. Newman will lec-
ture on General Grant on Dec. 11. This

doubtedly show their appreciation by a
liberal patronage. The price for course

Mr. Chanfrau, in “Kit, the Arkansaw
Travoler," was greeted by a large audience
in the Opera House, Thursday evening.
The performance was warmly applauded
throughout. Those side splitting, typical
bummers and incorrigible dead beats, the
Judge and Major, made many a side ache
with their drollery.

Miss Annie Cook of the gHotel Bruno
wick started to carry a heavy pail of water
down stairs Thursday afternoon, when
she lost her balance and fell to the bottom
of the flight, and the pail “came tumbling
after.” She was considerably shaken up
and somewhat bruised, and was carried
to her room in a dead faint.

a divorce, but he was bound over, charged
with perjury and bigamy. His creditors

there isn’t a fellow in the whole list who
has had practical experience enough in the
art of hay making to know whether hay is
clubbed off the trees with a fish pole, or dug
up with a shovel. They have a natty uni.
form consisting of blue jersey, wine color-
ed knee-breeches and long blue stockings.
In this gorgeous array their cat-like agility
is unhampered, and their lovely leg devel,
opment shows off to good advantage.
Their first matched game was played last
Friday. night in Stamford with the “Odds,"
of that town, a club that has won many
goals, broken fingers and bruised shins.
The game lasted 80 minutes, when time
was called, leaving thelscore s. tie, each
club having secured one goal. The return
game will be played in the Norwalk rink
'to morr‘ow night. The Haymakers have
reason to feel gratifiéd with the result of
their first battle, and it may be safely pre.
dictcd that from henceforth polo will be a

popular pantime at the rink.

The Effect of Advertising.

The following from the Buffalo N ews con
tains convincing proof of‘tho effectsof ju-
dieious advertising :—
Wilson Soule was in Now-Haven the
other day arranging with adversing a cut,
. P. Hubbard, for the advertising 0 the
op Bitters Manufacturing company, who
are extensive advertisers. He said that
four years previous to 1878 they spent all
their money in bill posting and circulars,
from which they received no profit; in
fact they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.

n the spring of 1878 they placed an ad-
Vertisin order of $40,000 with Mr. Hub-
bard. he results were sales of $107,000.
They increased the advertising the follow-
ing year to $100,000,ths sales to $360,000.
The next year they spent $120,000, wrth
$480,000 sales, and the expenditure was
slighty increased,- as was also the sales.
They argue from this that nothing but
'simon pure newspaper advertising, judi-
ciously and thoroughly applied is the sure
road to success. The experience of this
great business house ought to stand out
ike a light house before all merchants
who have something to sell.

Denver Tribune contains the following
relative to Mrs. Nolan :—

IIer illness was of but a few days’ dura-
tion, but almost from the first her phy-
sicians have had no hope of her recovery.
Yesterday morning she was informed that
recovery was impossible, and she ex-
pressed a desire to bid her friends fare-
well. Many then who had called or sent
hourly to her residence to inquire about
her called to say a last good bye, and to
each one she had a cheerlng word to say,
and expressed the hope of meeting them
ill the future life, in which she had an
abiding and trusting faith. Mrs. Nolan
was the daughter of Mrs. Joseph L. Bailey
and was one of the first female children
born in Denver. ,_ She had hundreds of
acquaintances and friends in Colorado,
and was beloved by them all. She was
married less than two years ago. ,

A man named Fredericks living near
West Norwalk, was visited at his house by
an officer from New Canaan last Saturday,
who searched his house and found a num-
ber of articles that had been stolen from
Raymond’s market, New Canaan. Fred-
ericks then tried to buy off the officer and
offered to give $500 to settle the affair.
Raymond was brought to the spot to talk
it up and an attempt was made to arrest
Fredericks, who thrashed the ofiicer and
then went to his pasture, caught his five-
years old colt, mounted it and disappeared
and has not been seen since. The search
about his premises was then pushed for-
ward and brought to light an almost end-
less assortment of stolen goods, from a
plug of tobacco to a handsome and valu-
able top carriage. It is thought that his

thieving has been going on for years.
Poor, crazy Dufi was taken to the
Mlddletown asylum last Saturday by
Oliiccrs Lockwood and DcForest. Their
task was neithera pleasant nor an easy

one, for their cranky charge was obstinate,
arbitrary and violent. Just before em-
barking on the train at South Norwalk,
Duff insisted on getting shaved, having
his boots blacked and eating a square
meal. He didn’t care, he said, whether
he went on that train or waited for the
next one; he had plenty of time, and even
if he shouldn’t get there for a couple of
days, it was “his own business,” etc.
The officers being unable to coax him,
finally had to collar him and load him on
the train by main force. Throughout the
entire journey they had their hands full,
and great was their relief when at last
they brought him up to the asylum, dc-

paper train from New York.

The minstrel and dramatic entertain-
ment to be given in Music Hall next Tues-
day night to benefit the Old Well Hank

of the most enjoyable events of the sea-
son. The list of “stars” is a guaranty f
its excellence. At the conclusion of t e
minstrcl performance the sparkling farce,
“My Father’s Will" will be presented bya
competent cast. Moeslin’s orchestra, , of
New York, will furnish music. Tickets

report that several hundred tickets have
been sold, is false. Not one ticket can be
bought by anybody until the charts open

A Doctor in Peril.
The pious residents of Beldcn avenue,
were disturbed in their devotions early on
Sunday morning last, by the rushing past
like a western cyclone and in frantic cc.
lerity, of our usually sedate Dr._ Baldwin,
followed close. behind by. his pet Jersey
cow l The doctor was running like a pro-
fessional athlete, and the cow, with head
and tail high in air, eyes and nostrils dis-
tended and mouth wide and wickedly
open, all indicated the cow’s mad do
termination to bite the doctor. Whether
it was a violent attack of rabies or the
comicnlate beast had got it into her head
that “all flesh is grass," or had mistaken
bar owner for a vegetable, could not be
determined, but the rapidity and terror of
the good doctor’s flight from his cow and
tho cow's dangerous proximity to his heels
while her fearfully distended jaws threat-
ening at every jump to bite off and swal-
low the doctor’s horizontal coat tails, drew
the neighboring residents totheir windows
and out into their door-yards to divine
what could be the cause of such an unusu-
al Sunday morning circus parade.

Joseph Kinney who some years ago was
sentenced to state prison for life for rape,
was pardoned out not long ago by the leg-
islature. It was an injudicious pardon,
:however, for Kinney has again been con-
victed of rape, and was sentenced Friday
to 20 years in the state prison which is de-
cidedly the proper place for him.

A Norwich, colored man named Edward
Hollingerd was caught by the police ;on
Tuesday sloping with a dark-featured
young woman in a hack. Three big

per, which his wife signed, wherein she
gave up all claims on him as her husband.

was driving from Mansfield to this village
last night between six' and seven o‘clock

the reins, shouting “whoa." Mi'ss‘Gurley
was prepared for such an emergency, and
drawing her revolver fired at short range,

started into the bushes. by thoroadsidc.
Miss Gurley se'ntjanother shot after him
and came'on to Willimantic. She heard
the man say as ho plunged into the bushes,
“O my headl’.’ and'concluded that her
first shot'must have taken effect. ‘ " ‘

In these days when the term “election’.

dorsement” it is refreshing to‘note that

Cole is emphatically “vindicated." Last:‘
year his friends forced him into the ,con‘.
test as the democratic candidatefor rep-
resentative, in which, although he ran fnr,
ahead of his ticket, he was defeats by
his business partner, S. S. Ambler. This
year the democracy of the 15th senatorial
district, embracing ten towns, elect him
to the senate with a “vindication” in the
shape of 538 plurality to succeed a repub-
lican predecessor. .
