Here isa little advice from the assistan postmaster-general, which should be re- membered :—-Write or print your 'name and address, and the contents of a pack— age upon the upper left hand corner of all mail matter. This will insure its immedi- ate return to you for correction, if im- properly addressed or insufliciently paid, and if it is not called for at destination it can be returned to you without going to the dead-letter oflice. If' the patrons of the mails would avail themselves of this privilege it would enable the department to restore at least 90 per cent. of all the undelivered matter. Letters would be returned free, and the parcels upon pay- ment of return postage.” Rev. W. W. Clark is the new minister at the Methodist church. He is a portly old gentleman with a benevolent face and gray side whiskers, ala Vanderbilt. The church was filled Sunday morning with a congregation composed partly of those who attend service regularly use religious duty, and partly of curious outsiders with a desire to hear “the new minister.” In the evening the church was well filled, the pastor preaching from 1st Corinthians, 2d chap., 2d verse: “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and himerucitied.” The dis- course set forth many old truths in an en- tertaining manner. A startling discovery was made Tues: day in Webster street, New Haven, where the colored people mostlylivc. Mrs.Dan- iel Hurd has three daughters, and one of them, aged 15, named Hattie, has been very wayward, so much so that her moth- er did not wish her to stay at home, as her influence was corrupting the rest of the family. Not long ago she knocked down one of her young sisters, injuring her seriously. Her mother then ordered her out of the house, and Hattie, much enraged, threatened to poison the whole family. Mrs Hurd did not regard the threat,,as she had often heard such talk. Tuesday morning Jacob J. Havilian, a colored man who lives in the same house, went to the Well to drawabucket of water, and saw a green substance on the surface. On examination it was proved to be Paris Green. It has been sent to the Yale Med- ical school for analysis. It is believed the girl put the poison in the well, and steps will be taken to have her arrested. - The court house question has been settled for the present by a victory for ' Bridgeport, thoagh it was a compromise with Norwalk. The' terms of the com- promise, are that Bridgeport shall erect a court house before the 1st day of October, 1888, and'if the city fails so to do, the then after April 1st, 1880, the Supreme Court of Errors, the Supreme Court and the Courtl' of Common Pleas for this county shall be flield at Norwalk. This Compro- mise is sill wrong and a pucrile piece of businesi‘s. If the county needs a new court house, blot the place where it is to be built be decided so that it will best serve the in- terest all the county, and let the county build it.‘ Fairfleld county should not take a bribe flrom either Bridgeport or Norwalk. We hstve favored Norwalk in this fight, becaus( we believe that a court house would more convenient to the majority of the pleople of the county, than it would be at B ’ dgeport, and that is the ground that she uld be taken in the discussion of the muses—Greenwich Graphic. row night. , Thc Housatonic railroad has just received a new engine. - Elder Dudley preached in the South Norwalk Advent church Sunday. ~—Miss Stevens’ school re.opens for the summer term Monday, April 10th.

Millard and Mrs. Robert VanBuren made a great success of the parlor fair, held at the house of the former last week for the benefit of the city Congregational church. These ladies deserve much credit for the ener- getic manner in which they conducted the enterprise. The evening entertain- .ment, consisting of music and recitations, was especially enjoyable and will, no doubt, render" this method of raising money agreeable and popular. The net proceeds were over $100. It is related by the Norwalk correspond- ent of the Standard that “one of our prominent citizens who is very weak- kneed when he sees a snake, came into his place of business on Thursday. April 1st, looking pale and showing consider- able agitation. When asked the cause of it all he told of a huge snake he had seen on his way, which measured five or six feet in length, was black and wriggled rapidly across the street. Later he learned that it was a piece of hose pipe attached to a small cord, at the other end of which was a boy." Samuel Greer assumed the duties of road.master of the Housatonie road April 1. He came aboard of Conductor C. P. Lane’s train at Brookfleld. Conductor Lane “did not know him from Adam,”-and asked him for a ticket; Mr. Greer did not produce any, whereupon Mr. Lane informed him he must “fork over” a ticket, pass or cash.

As trains run now we have no close connection with trains for Danbury, and .pcople desiring to go there will try most. any way rather than take the train. If a train should run up in the morning and down at night as a milk train with passenger cars attached, we believe it would increase the earnings eople. Itwouldvhelp laboring meu.'ou the line of the road by making it possible to seek cmplo meut in.Dauburyaud Bethcl as well as orwalk. It would ive us the daily papers two and a hill hours earlier. It would make Bell Island much more desirable as a summer resort, enab- ling business men to spend their night there and get to their places in good sea- son iu the morning. _ From the Republican :—Mrs. J.

Millard, by the ladies of the Congregational church, this city, Wednes- day evening—The 'lot on which it is proposed to locate the new armory might, it has been suggested, be greatlyimproved by buying more land and closin‘gthe turn- West street. This would require enough more land for a road from West avenue to the turnpike which in many respects would be more convenient for travel than now. It would also leave the rear of the: site now purchased, for company drill. By all means let the front of the armory be placed as near as possible on a lineywith other buildings on West avenue.

Rev. Mr. Bissell opened the meeting with pray: er. The new president of the Union presided with dignity and parliamentary precision. The hall was crowded and a large number of additional' seats had to be brought in, and it was cruelly remark- ed that “the Jedge" hadn‘t seen so much exercise for many a day. Miss Landfear, the state organizer, was presentnand made a beautiful address to the children. Mr. Bailey of South Nor. walk introduced the speakers, and Rev.

St. John Lock- wood and Edwin Adams, who are to interview the owners of the adjacent pi op- crty and ascertain if the proposed plan of changing the turnpike road be feasible. The plan at present-is to bring the road down the hill and onto'West avenue alongside the new house of Mr. Kelly. The road now joining the avenue at the Van Burcn place will be closed and the triangular point of» land opposite the lodge of the late LeGrand Lockwood property will be merged into the state lot. This will bring the latter to the avenue and will allow of the armmy fronting directly upon West avenue, and, by reason of the additional land the military will have a convenient parade ground in Connection with the armory. The memorial building will also be fronted on the avenue, and thnsa present eyesore will be removed and two very handsome and desirable lots gained by the change. ' The committee hold another meeting to-morrow and a survey has been ordered and a map is to b.e made of the property. _____...___. Professor Isaac H. Hall, Ph D. The Mail and Express in a recent number has aletter on ‘ ‘The Cypriote Inscriptions," by a son of Rev. Edwin Hall, D. D., de- ceased, a former pastor of the First church in Norwalk. which that paper introduces thus:~“Profcssor Isaac H. Hall, Ph. D., of this city, is one of the best Oriental scholars of America. His reputation as a philologist and archaeologist stands even higher perhaps in Europe than America Professor Hall was the first to decipher the Cypriote Inscriptions when they arrived in New York in 1874. He Visited Cyprus twice during the time that Cesnola was United States consul there, and mak- ing his wonderful discoveries. He trav- elled all over the island, examined many cities where Cesnola had dug, saw him at work with his diggers at several places, and consequently his testimony is of the highest value and deserves_the fittest be- lief of the reader."
