Ws‘al now b’gosh! that Si Perkins he’s
a critter. He give the gel damcdest com.
icalest "show you ever see, in the Opera
House last Friday night. He makes the
awkwardsst, greenest kind of a Yankee
rusticus; it “comes jest as nsteral to him
as water to a, milk waggin,” and there
liain’t been no show here in a dog's age,
that has made such uproarious laughter as
his’n. That afternoon street parade of the
farmers' band of Pughtown was the rich-
est thing out.

At a special meeting of the Board of
Trustees of Vassar College held Tuesday,
Rev. James M. Taylor was unanimously
elected permanent president of the college.
Mr. Taylor is an alumnus of the Universi-
ty of Rochester and of the Rochester The-
ological Seminary. His age is “fifty—
eight. He is married and has three chil-
dren. For the past thirteen years Mr.
Taylor has lived in South Norwalk and at
Providence, R. 1. He is very well known
in this city—Standard, .

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.

The united Efforts of Mrs. D. L. 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

He came aboard of Conductor C. P. Lane’s

for a ticket; Mr. Greer did not produce
any, whereupon Mr. Lane informed him
he must “fork over” a ticket, pass or cash.
Matters were approaching a crisis when
President Barnum, who-was occupying a
seat with Mr. Greer, interposed and intro-.
duced Mr. Greer to Mr. Lane. . A hand-

shake followed, bill the littleicpisode came

‘ The Ridgcfield Press gives these points
on the question of running an early train
during the coming season :

Fully appreciatin all that the Danbury
&Norwalk Railroa Co. is doing for the
accommodation of the public we venture
to express the hope that it will find it pos-
sible to accede to the petition for an early
train from .Wilson Point’to Danbury run-
ning so as to pass Branchville about seven
o'clock makin a close connection with
train from Ri gcfleld. 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. _

the congratulations of all, the “ Happy

collatiou.—-—Eggs have not been so plenty
and so cheap in six years as they are now.
———It is reported that there is not enough
left of the steamer “CapitolClty” stranded
on the rocks of! Rye beach, to be worth
mentioning. The storm of Tuesday cem-
pleted the work of destruction.—A tea
social and fair was given at the residence
of Mrs. D. L. 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.

j en's Christian Temperance Union since
. its organization was holdeu last evening
at the Athemeum, and, circumstances
considered, was a grand success. .The
Gazer-rs. and staff came nobly to the res-
cue and from their assistance the noble
motto of the order: “For God and Home
and Nativo Laud,” was very handsomely
displayed in gift letters arched above the
platform, and artistically arranged and ex-
ecuted in white flowers upon a brown ta-
ble scarf appeared the mystic letters, “W.
C. T. U.,” which one old purple nose gaz-
ed at a few moments, then turned. away,
sneering: “ ‘Womcn Can Teach Us l’ well
I guess not," and he dashed out and cross-
ed the street to the nearest saloon. 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.
Mr. DeLarno closed‘witli an ell quent ap-
peal for united effort in the cause. His
sarcastic out upon his lip-town brethren
ill Christ’s ministry struck deep. He said
he looked over the stage expecting to see
and become acquainted with some of his
brother clergymen, but behold! not one
was here even to lead his influence in this
great and noble christian work “For God

and Home and Native Land." were.

The Soldiers' Memorial.
' The Memorial committee met at the
'Mallackemo, Hotel last evening and ap-
pointed :a- ‘ committee consisting of
Messrs. Eben Hill, Gen. D. N. Couch,
A. B. Woodward, F. 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." ProfessorHall’s letter
is long and interesting, and Norwalk has
many sons of whose “brains" and achieve-
ments she may well be proud.

Oonzrssmsn Seymour for Governor.
There is an impression here among
people in a position to know that although
Representative seymot‘r has declined the
use of his name as a possible candidate
for the democratic nomination as govern-
or, hc might be induced to accept such a
a nomination. Mr. Seymour was, elected
to congress by a very narrow plurality,
something like 200, and the possibility of
his defeat if he was again, it is said. may
induce him to go in for the governorship.~

Shaun—The senate rejected the law
proposed by the tax commission as to a
state tax based on the enumeration of
children and the law that went with it for
an enumeration by towns. Not a single
vote was cast in its favor. The committee
on education reported on communication
of Dr. Henry Barnard, proposing a history
of education in Connecticut, that the state
recognizes his generous offer and the

Allen oftSprsguc moved that the house rc-

consider and concur with the senate. Mr.

Clark of Haddsm urged that the house

insist upon its action. The object in re-

fcrring the bill to the appropriations com-

mittee was for them to decide whether it

was for the interest of the state to make

the expenditure. He moved that the

house insist and ask for a committee of
conference. Mr. Price of Norwalk spoke
in favor of the bill. The armory in South
Norwalk was the poorest in the state being
used as a tobacco warehouse. Messrs.

Jones? of Fairficld, Vance of New Britain,

favored the bill. Mr. Roads of Griswold
