It was a cock-fight which elicited the at-
tention of sporting men after midnight
Friday morning. The birds were from
New Haven and Stamford and the former
won. The stakes were $50 per battle; $300
for the odd fight.—-Bridgeport News. '
Martin McLaughlin, of Stamford, started
with two companions to walk to Norwalk
last Sunday to attend the blessing of the
, bell in St. Mary’s church. A freight train
overtook them at Noroton and they go
aboard between freight cars. As the train
was approaching Darien young McLaugh-
lin was thrown from the car and fell in
such a way that the wheels caught him
and cut his body completely in two, kill-
ng him instantly. He was about sixteen
years old.

thick that it was impossible to see more
than a boat’s length ahead.—Adooca.’e.
James Stevens, of New Haven, came
- over to Norwalk Friday, thinking, as he
said, that, as it was the moving season,
he might strike a job. He began his
search for work by filling up with bad
liquor and acting in a naughty manner,
and so persistently did he keep it up that
John Lockwood finally brought him into
the awful presence of Judge Sturges,
‘wllose compassion prompted him to give
the ambitious wanderer a j0b in the
Bridgeport institution, for which he is an
authorized agent, and Stevens went over
with the officer Saturday where he will
stay until he shall have worked out the

A laughable episode occurred last Fri-
day night at a late hour on Wall street.
It was after midnight when BarneyFeeney
and two assistants came down stairs with
a mail bag full of newspapers which they
were taking to the post office. Across
the street about twenty-five dogs of all
styles, sizes and breeds were giving a
serenade around a kennel in which their
lady.lovc was securely housed. When they
heard the boys coming down stairs drag-
ging the mail bag, bumpity-bump after
them, they dashed across the street to see
what was up. As the mail runners came
out onto the pavement, Barney was merri-
ly singing "Sweet vi-lli-olets; swe-hee-ter
than—Holy Moses 1" The latter impromptu
variation was inspired by the savage
growljand sudden spring of a black mastitf,
as big as a calf, toward the unsuspecting
group. As Barney choked of! his warble
he jumped back to the stairs, running
over his companions who hastily scrambled
after him and shut the door, leaving the
pack of dogs in complete possession of
two bushels of choice literature. At this
juncture Chief Lockwood came along,-
and taking in the situation he calmed the
excited dogs—the chief bath charms to
soothe the savage breast—and Barney was
the only one who could muster up spunk
enough to venture forth and complete the
journey with the mail bag. His valiant
.comrades had flown up the stairs and
barred the door with the printing office
towel, and hidden themselvesin the draw-
er of the imposing stone.

related that on Thanksgiving day, twenty-
onc years ago, eight sisters met at the
. home of their only brother, Minot Crofoot,
in the old homestead in New Canaan, for;
a family reunion. They Were the children
of Ebenezer Crofoot, and although all ‘_
were well advanced with age the familyf
circle of children had never been broken
by death.‘ In less than three months after
this reunion, however, death entered the
circle and one after another passed away,

“Your Uncle Dad,” in the Journal, says
of Major Crowe’s record of service:—“He
enlisted in January, 1854, in Company A,
8th regiment; was made second corporal
in December, 1856; was made first cor-
poral May. 1859; appointed second ser-
geant, Company D, 8th regiment, January, .
1862; first sergeant, February, 1804; sec-
ond lieutenant,Aprll,«1864; first lieutenant
May, 1866 ;.-captain Company D, 4th regi-
ment, (the 8th redesignated), July, 1871 ;
major August, .1880. This is the best
record of consecutive service in this state,
and I hope the major will continue to
advance until he is made commander-in-
chief of all our armies."

from $200 to putinto their treasury. The,

the four “end men,” Fred and. Allie Ans;

Norwalk orchestra, whose music, by the
way, waswarmly applauded and hund- "
somely rendered'throughout the entire pel-
formance, and back of these on a still
higher platform sat the eight uniformed

There was a time not long ago when the
the New York dailies, the great dailies,
were fond of» making fun of the country
woeklles, because of this: “Mrs. Fitz-
John is ‘vislting' Mrs. Noodle,” or “Tom
Jones’ cow broke her horn in the stall," or
something of that kind. Take up the
New York Sunday papers, one ‘of those
dailies,and see if you don't read itemslike
be above or even more petty. Why do
hey do it 1 Because it makes the Sunday
apers sell in the country towns. But
robably the New York'dailyjcditors don’t
now it, but it nevertheless a fact, that

ash from the country weeklles published~

Counterfeit on a Nos-Walk Bank.
The-following from the National Repub-
licon‘of Washington, D. C., of last Fri;
day, will be of great interest to our readers.
Watch your five dollar bills. -
Chief Brooks, of thesecretservice,makes
.the following report: The genuine 85 na-
tional bank note of the series of 1882 has
a bust of Garfield in an oval frame on the
left end of the face of the note; also a
brown back, with the charter of the num-
ber of the bank in large shaded figures set
in green in the center of the back.
A counterfeit on this denomination and
sericshas appeared, urporting to he an
issue of the Central ational Bank of Nor-
walk, Conn., and giving the charter num-
ber as 401. It should be sufficient to state
that this bank never issued a note of the
scriesof 1882, and the charter number is
not 404; it is 2,342. The paper is good,
the gen ral appearance of the note, when
differences between it and the notes of
that series that only a few can be stated.
The pink seal on the counterfeit roads,“E
Pluribuo Unum Sigil." The genuine seal
reads, “Thesaur Amer Septant Sigil;” in
the upper and lower corner of the left end
face of the note the word “five" has been
omitted in the counterfeit. The figures
of the charter number in the center of the
back are much smaller than in the genuine
and are not shaded There are many
other omissions, hilt these may well he re-
served until a corrected edition of the note
shall appear. It is a dangerous notewhen
tendered to a busy or careless merchant.

Rheumatism
It is an established fact that Hood’s Bar.
saparllla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect-
ln correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
It is certainly fair to assume that what
Hood's Sarsaparllla has done for others it
will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy it fair trial.
:A Positive Care.
.“I was troubled very much with rheuma-
tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I
could hardly walk, and was confined to my
bed a. good deal cf'ihe time. ‘Belng rec-
ommended to try Hood’s Sarsaparllla, I
took four bottles and am perfectly well.
I cheerfully recommend Hood’s Sarsaparllla
as one of the best blood purifiers in the
world.” W. F. Woon, Bloomington, Ill.
For Twenty Years
Have been afflicted with rheumatism. Before
1883 I found no relief, but grew worse. I then
began taking Hood's Sarsaparllla, and it did
me more good than all the other medicine I
ever had.” H. '1‘. Bacon, Shirley. Mass.
"I suffered from what the doctors called
muscular rheumatism. I took Hood’s Sar-
saparilla and am entirely cured.” J. V. 'A.
Pnounroo'r, letter carrier, Chicago, Ill.
