Now is the winter of our discontent
made glorious summer by the advent of
the festive house-cleaning season; now
doth the tidy housewife plunge the house-
hold fixin’s into a promiscuous state of
upside downside confusion and make life
a weary burden for the frisky cockroach
and the night-prowling bedbug, and now
deth the cynical old bachelor commune
with himself as follows, to wit: “Ha!
ha i" when he thinks of the poor devil of
a married man eating his mess out of the
sink and having not where to lay his
bewildered head. ‘ .
.Dorlon's Point is being put in condition
for the season under the supervision of

peeted that Wm. Blatchford, of Charles.

years ago, will be induced to accept the
position as caterer and landlord. Alively
season is anticipated at the Point.
At a late hour on Wednesday in t the
fire alarm rang and a number of '
and citizens responded. It was ascer-
tained that the fire was in the saloon'
opened a few days before by Geo. Tucker,
44 Main street. In a space under one of
the front.windows the fire was blazing
briskly, but it was put out before any
material damage was done. The floor
was pretty thoroughly wet down, some
windows smashed, etc., but no loss was
sustained compared to what would have
resulted, had the discovery been made a
short time later. The fire is attributed by
some to: a defective gas meter, while
others think it started froma pail of water
in which George rinsed his glasses.

Rev. E. F. Atwood, of Canaan, is lec-
turing on the “Great Men of Litchfield

Mr. I, W. Daniel, of New Canaan,writes
the Gazer-rs as fellows:—I saw in your
paper of March 23d an account of Mr. I.
M. Rose picking up some good sound
russet [apples that had been out all winter.
I would say that on February 14th under
my apple trees I picked up twenty or
more sound russet apples that could not
'be told from those of the same kind in the
cellar. The frost was all out or them at
that date. I have since picked them up
at difierent times, and today, (April 22),
have found some good sound apples, the
last I could find.”
From the Republican :—Girls,,a load of
Danbury bachelors will visit WilsonPoint,
July 5th. Now don’t say, as you did last
year, that you were not advised, of‘ their
coming in time to give themv'a “warm”
reception.—Judgc Wm. S. Benton for
the first time in five years is wearing a

back—and no questions asked—Our
city knights of the razor, in unison with
their brother knights, up-town, have de-
cided to hereafter charge twenty-five cents

This shellfish story of adventure and
escape is told by the Ansonia.Sentinel:—
“Edward Boughton and Dennis Dowd,
twooystermen of Stratford, went out on‘
Saturday with their boat to get oysters.
They took no food with them, expecting
to come in early in the afternoon with
their catch. During the thunder storm,
however, their boat was capsized, throw-
ing them out, and all their tools sank to
the bottom of the sound. They were then
about three miles from the shore and,
clinging to the bottom of the boat,
they drifted about for nearly five hours,
when a passing steamer descried and res-
cued them. They were _brought into
Merwin‘s Point much gratified at their
preservation."
The lecture on “How to Grow Strong,”
to be given in the Opera House Friday
evening by Dr. W. G. Anderson, promises
to be an entertainment of unusual interest
as it is one of unusual occurrence and out
of the ordinary routine of literary efiort.
Dr. Anderson is a son of Rev. Edward
Anderson.,and is said to be a wonderfully
expert and accomplished athlete. He
will, with the assistance of his brother,
giVe illustrations in the art Of ”how to.
grow strong” with gymnastic and athletic
exercises on the stage. The entertain-
‘ment should, and undoubtedly will be
largely attended, as it will deserve as well
' by its merits as by its object, the Chapel
Fund of the First Congregational Church.
Tickets 50 cents, on sale at the stores of
Messrs. Plaisted, Stanley, Biascer, and

Last Thursday wasn’t such a blustering
day. but old Boreas seemed to take a
bonnets off the _ladies’ heads. Where
Water street joins'Wall, in front of the
Gaming building, the wind whirled merri-
ly in a sort of Virginia reel and indulged
in unbecoming familiarity with everybody
.in' the locality. A carriage containing
four pretty young ladies and four pretty
spring bonnets drove by in'the afternoon.
No sooner had it reached the corner be-
fore—whisk! witha flutter of plumage,
over the pavements towards the gutter,
and in a second more 0! went another in
pursuit of the first. Both were recovered
and restored by the gallantry of E. N.
Sloan, who proved himself" a graceful
runner, while the carriage occupants clung
desperately to to the remaining bonnets
and their flowing tresses. At another
time a “cullud gal," whose gorgeous head-
gear was a “stunner," found herself and-
denly bare-headed through the frisky
wiud’sravenous appetite for bonnets, and
in frantic despair she beheld her elaborate
arrangement of yellow ribbons, posies and
glittering ornaments dancing merrily un-
der a coal wagon and run over and crush-
ed by the wheels. She picked it up ten-
derly, mounted it in triumph on her raven
chignon, and-strutth off in the proud con.
sciousneas, that her’bonr‘ret hadT an "extra
kink in crown and brim that would make
the queen offashion herself turn green
with envy. ,

Long. Island Solrnd, says the Bridgeport
News, is alive with wild ducks, which are
seen in almost countless numbers daily by
passengers on the decks of sound steamers.
Frequently the flocks get in way of the
swift vessels and are caught up by the

of the paddle boxes sometimes are thickly
coated with feathers.
A laborer who was lazily at “work"
with has and shovel on the street last
Saturday, was approached by a newsboy
with a bundle of papers under his arm,
who accosted him in a business-like tone,
at the‘ same time holding out a paper:
“By the hour, mister?” Pat replied in-
dignautly as he infused a little more ener-
gy and elbow-grease into his work:
“Nonnyerdom business—get out; I’ll gi'e
you a po-o-oke l" ‘
.If any one wants a good laugh let them
go to Music Hall tmmorrow night and see
“A Bag Baby." Tire play is under the
management of Eugene Tompkins of the
Boston Theatre. It is inexpressibly funny
and is played by a first-class company.
Tire New York Sun says :—
A farce, interspersed with songs of the
kind now so popular, entitled “A Bag
Baby,” was presented before a large audi-
ence at Tony Pastor's Theatre last even-
ing. It .satirizes the drug business, as
commonly conducted, and the mania for
athletic sports. It made plenty of fun for
the audience.
That popular favorite, Joseph Jefferson
will give his inimitable presentation of Rip

evening of next week, as per announcement
in another column. “Joe"Jefferson istoo

need any introduction, and there is no rea-
son to doubt that he will be greeted with
a large house, as his representation of the
title character deserves. Seats on sale at

Louise Sylvester's second performance
.in the Opera House on Tuesday evening
was slimlyattended, the gross receipts be-
ing less than $15. The show that gets a
good' house here at this late day in the
season-mustbe well known and known to
be good. Louise possessed neither of
these advantages. The company had hard
work and did considerable mancevering
to raise money enough to square some of
their bills here—and as it was, they left
some behind, unpaid, . 2..
An innocent looking bundle came walk-
ing around the corner of Water street yes-
terday noon, tucked under the arm of a
man. Suddenly abbottle of beer slid out
of it and fell with a crash and a splash on
the sidewalk. The man was startled and
lost his presence of mind so far as to stop
.and look with a lugubrious expression at
the wreckage. Then hastily coming to
his senses, he glanced nervously around
to. see if anybody had witnessed the catas-
trophe, and started brisklyon, with an ex-
pression of indifference so plainly forced
that it seemed to say, “If anybody sees a '
bottle of beer smashed on the sidewalk—
l didn’tdo it." . ‘ ~

May Adams’ Burlesque Co. gave a show
in the Opera House last Saturday evening.
And it was a ‘fshowfi’ Much of it was a
mere'matter of “form.” The “twenty
beautiful young ladies” that were adver-
rm, proved to be about 'ten bold faced
females, whose costumes were made after
a painfully “economical” pattern. The
acting and the dialogue were broadly and
disgustinglysuggestive, and the few ladies
who had entered under the misapprehen-
left the hall soon after thevcurtain was
rang up. Manager Mitchell assures us
that,had he known beforehand the nature
of the company he would not have leased
the hall to them, and also that. if he had

performance howould have compelled a

Rev. Edward Anderson preached last
Sunday evening from Ecclesiastes, v : 9 :
“The king himself is served by the- field.”'
It was a timely sermon, logical and schol-
arly, designed to show that all branches
of trade or profession are mutually de-
pendent one upon another and each upon
all, and that each and all are indispensa-
ble to the welfare of the great body pol-
itic, just as each member of the physical
organism is indispensable to the harmon—
ious working of the whole. The discourse
lrad a potent bearing on the present ab-
sorbing labor question, and the proposi-
tion was amply emphasized: “He that is
higher than the highest regardeth." Next
Sunday morning Mr. Anderson will re-
peat, by request of a large number of per-
sons, the discourse he delivered on Fast
Day, on “The Moral Relation of Employ-
ers and Employee.”
- What our good friend “Sam” Jolrnstou
don’t know about ringing bells isn’t worth
knowing. But sometimes “Sam,” as well
as the rest of us, is prone to be careless
and over confident. One of these spells
occurred the other day. Since St. Mary’s
church purchased its new hell it lies been
a question, much argued, just how it
should be struck. The bell ringer appoint-
ed did very well but something seemed
to be lacking. There was a harsh sound
’
‘and a clung which the bell. ought not to
give. Tire matter was talked over quite
a while and finally “Sam” Johnston, the
veteran expert at the First Congregational
church, was thought of, and “Sam” was
asked if ire would give the St Mary's bell
ringer a few “points” in his art. “Sam"
cheerfully agreed, and a day or two ago
repaired to St. Mary’s. They toiled slow.
ly up the stairs, as became their solemn
mission, until they reached. the belfry.
Then “Sam” siczcd the bell. Now “Sam"
is in the habit of holding onto his own
bell rope after striking the bell and, as
the bell is not too heavy he has had no
difficulty. But the Catholic bell is some
thousand pounds heavier than the Con-
gregatronal-—a fact which the sexton of
St. Mary's had neglected to state. A monf
strous toll sounded from the bell as “Sam”
swung the rope with dexterous grace. A
monstrous yell sounded from “Sam” as
the bell swung back. As usual ire had
held on tight to the rope, and the Catholic
sexton astoundedly gazed at his compan-
ion's body as it disappeared up amongst
the rafters. “Sam" clung to the rope like
a major and in a moment down he came
kicking and struggling to the floor. His
head was bumped, his spectacles broken—-
and “Sam” was literally “all broke up.”
And the climax of his agony was reached
when the Catholic sexton, with an inno-
cent look, inquired :—“Do you always
ring ’em that‘way, Mr. Johnston ‘1’" “Sam”
went home. He wont fool with any more
strange bells. -

The Democratic Huddle.
Tire democratic caucus for the selection
of a candidate for postmaster was held
Thursday evening at the town house.
John Honneckerwas nominated chairman
and James Toner, clerk. The chairman
stated the object of the meeting to be that
the party might unite on a candidate for
thetpostmastership, as CongressmanSey—
mour had said a year ago that he would
recommend for appointment the one whom
the democratic caucus nominated An
informal ballot was ordered and resulted
as follows :—-A. C. Golding, 17; St. John
Merrill, 26; John Honnecker, 9; James
Toner 1; Asa Smith, 4. Mr. Honnecker-
then withdrew his name in favor-of A. C.
Golding and the first formal ballot resulted:
Golding, 27; Merrill, 39; Honnecker 1;
Ass Smith, 1; Blank 1. St. John Merrill
was-then declared the nominee, and the
caucus adjourned.
"Early Friday morning it was reported
that Mr. Wilford Smith, of Brooklyn, a
nephew of Senator Smith, was to receive
the appointment. Senator Smith when
questioned said he knew nothing about it.
But the report that a “furriner” was to be
imported into a local office made music
for the “unterrified.” Suspicion is rife
and bets of 5 to 3 are ofiered that the can-
cus nominee does not get the appointment.
There will probably be music in the air
soon and the Gamma will keepits readers
informed of the tune..

Still Missing.
There are no new developments in the
case of Frank Cole who mysteriously dis-
appeared atCannons a fortnight ago. No
traces have been found and his case is as
much a mystery as ever. A large party,

married last Wednesday left with her fam-
ily for Illinois Friday, where they intend

Tire following letter him Mr. A. J.
Wilkins to the Gamma explains itself.
It is a matter of regret that a sufficient
interest could not he enlisted here to com-
plete the series of concerts, but as Mr.
' Wilkins says they drew out all the people
they probably could, which was by far in-
sufiicient to prove an encouraging evi-
dence of appreciation, to say nothing of
being remunerative. Mr. Wilkins says:—
Will you kindly announce in your paper
that on account of the lack of patronage
there will be no more concerts b the
Beethoven Trio.club this season, an that
holders ‘of subscribers’ season tickets will
receive the amount due them on presenta-
tion of their tickets to Mr. G. B. Plaisted
before May 20. If the last concert had
paid expenses, which I was inclined to
believe on a rough guess at first, we
should feel likefinishing the course, but
it did not, and we have concluded that we
have drawn out all the people we can get
and that there is a poor prospect of doing
any better. We are now out, in round
figures, $150, which perhaps is not so bad
as it might be, but bad enough. The last.
concert .was figured down to the very low-
est witch and still fell short.

Report says that the wife of a West
street man elopcd with another man last
week and was brought home in tears by
her legal master. We suppose a man has
a right to take his property whenever he
can find it—at least that used to be the
law in regard‘to niggers, and a law that is
good enough for niggers ought to be good
enough for wives aadlive stock generally.
When a' man has an unruly cow he ties
'headtofoot, or'puts‘a poke on her, or
fixes a board on her head so that it hangs
down over her eyes. We suppose he has
a right to do so with his wife if she won’t
respect his bounds and ownership. But

for the mother.
Landlord Morehouse, of the New Hart-
, ford hotel, iras a half-blood St. Bernard
dog, two years old, weighing 201 pounds.
His name is “Jumbo," and he is us play-
ful and gentle as a kitten.
A woman who had escaped from the in-
sane asylum attempted to drown ircrself
ill the Connecticut river at Middletown,
but was rescued by two men who saw the
attempt, and was taken back to the asy-
lum.
There is a peanut vendor in Norwich
who was born in Franée, schooled in
Italy, and did business ilr South America.
He talks French, Italian, Spanish, Eng-
lish and German, and adds Latin to his
reading accomplishments.
The oldest living four members ‘of tin!
Connecticut legislature are Chas. Curtis,
of Marlborough, who was in the house in
1846, and is 96 years old; Mr. Coe, of
Waterbury, who was in the house in 1824,
is 92; and two Ridgefield cx-mcmhers are
‘ 95.
Patrick McBride, of Sharon, Litchfieid
county, has been sentenced to 25 years in
the state prison for committing rape on
Miss Eliza Hamlin, aged 68 years. Mc-
Bride eommitted the crime in the old
lady’sown house in broad daylight last
January. .
Albert Dean, of Canaan, a promising
youth aged 22, and an alleged rape fiend,
is held without bail for trial next Friday
for a brutal assault on Lizzie Scovillc,
aged 8, whom he is alleged to have way-
laid in a lonesonrc place on her way home
from school.
Lewis K. Taylor, of Meriden, whose
wife recently died under circumstances
that arouse the suspicion of malpractice,
has disappeared. He gave Mrs. Schlegcl,
a mid-wife, an nl'dcl' on the Derby Silver
company, for $50, which is considered
damaging evidence
pocketbook containing a small aura of
money and a number of valuable papers
one day last Week. Aftcrlooking in every
place where ire had been that day, and
not finding the missing book, lligiey re-
tired and during the night dreamed that
not only his pocketbook buthis spectacles.
which he had not missed, were buried
under a tree which he had set out in front
of the cemetery the previous afternoon.
Early the next morning Mr. I-iiglcy pro-
cccded to dig up the tree, and found both.
articles in exactly the place where he had
dreamed they were.
Eight years ago William Stevens, a
Bridgeport colored man, was sentenced to
the state prison for killing his father-in-
law, Aaron B. Nichols. He will soon be
released, and probably will find that Mrs.
Stcvcnsv has become Mrs. Charles Quilley,
of Stratford. Quillcy tried to obtain a
marriage license in this city yesterday,
but was refused as the woman had never
been divorced from Stevens. The'. law
provides, however, that a divorce from
any state prisoner may be had on applica-
. tion, and advantage of this provision will'
undoubtedly be taken by Mrs. Stevens.

The Rev. Mr. Payson of Ansonia added
to his protest and claim recently printed
another claim, declaring that in the year
succeeding 1881 his salary had been scaled
$200 each year without his consent and
against his continuous protest. As to this
all the men who have been on the society’s
«committee during this time (with one ex-
ception) signa statement that no protest
was ever made to any one of them. The
one exception is a man who is now out of
the state and who declines to say anything
about the matter. All the men who have
been treasurers since 1881 sign a statement
that the orders for salary cashed by them
were paid without any protestbeing made.
Tire case will probably go into the courts.

Rheumatism
It is an established fact that Hood’s Sar-
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect-
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
It is certaurly 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 a fair trial.
Ta 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 of the time. Being—ree-
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. WOOD, Bloomington, Ill.
For Twenty Years
I have been afflicted with rheumatism. Before
1883 I found no relief, but grew worse. I then
began taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it did
me more good than all the other medicine I
ever had." H. T. Damon, Shirley. Mass.
“I suffered from what the doctors called
muscular rheumatism. I took Hood’s Sar-
saparilla and am entirely cured.” J. V. A.
