As some day it may happen that the fence! on

Don’t rouse your angry passions—’63 a policy

The best thing on the list, by far is to desist.
Just straighten up the fence and on your

And if his ma disputes an inch, surrender on

And if she jumps into the hole you’re digging

Don’t ram the post down in it till she tires and'
clears the coast,
For abouncer may be summoned, who, by

And lunge of horny fist, may list you with

in au‘indiscrimi'iiate quarrel last Thurs-

line between the Price and Allen proper-
ties. Mr. Price wished to replace the
dilapidated hedge withya neat fence to
which the Allens objected, and when Mr.
Price acting according toihis legal right,
tore down his half of ‘lhe hedgeiand com-
menced to erect a fence in placcjof it, there
was immediate war on the part of the Al-
lens. The post holes had been dug and
the Allen’s claimed them to behn inch or
two on their property. This Mr. Price
denied and went on withjhisjwork. Fur-
ther progress was howev'er barred by Mrs.

The old “ Kellogg Farm" property on
Riverside avenue has been purchasedand

The land pecured comprises about 50acres

swamp north of the place formerly occu-
pied by Lieut. George Shaw, and the
“Benedict Farm” prbperty at the intersec-
tion of the Spring Hill and New Canaan
roads. The Norwalk river skirts the land
on the east. The plan' of the association
is to form a series of terraces upon which
burial plots or vaults may be located in a
manner similar to Woodlawn cemetery,
just this side of New York. The ceme-
tery will in all probability have two en-
trances, one on Riverside avenire and one
on Spring Hill, the property lying between
these two roads.

A Young Girl Elaine'-
The latest candidate for notoriety
through a sudden disappearance is Miss
Annie A. Harris of East Norwalk. Miss ‘
Harris disappeared from her home on Sat-
iirday leaving a note behind her sigiiillng
her intention to stay away forever.
Miss Harris for some time has be- 11 at-
tending the school on -Main street, South
Norwalk, kept by;Miss St. John. But for
the last fortnight she had been playing
truant and ihad not been near the school.
She would leave home at the usual hour in
the morning and proceed to the house of
Mrs. Samuel Hull, on Day street. There
she would stay until time for school to be
dismissed when she would go home, giv-
ing her parents the impression that she
had been at school. A few days ago her
plan was discdvcred and she was'severel y
scolded for her wrong-doing. She became
quite impudent to her parents on this oc-
casion and as a punishment, on Friday,ller
mother whipped her. This Miss Harris
could not stand and on Saturday she was
missing. A note was found left by her
"saying :— ’ ’
“Good bye! Remember me to Grand-
mal I am going to stay."
Her best clothes she had taken with her
and in fact has! made every preparation to
carry out the purpose expressed ill the
last sentence of her note. Upon this dis-
covery her mother became nearly frantic.
An aunt of the girl lived atCity Island
and in, the hope that Annie had gone to
her, word was telegraphed but she had
not been seen. The Grandmother lives at
Vista, near the reservoir, and Mrs. Harris
drove up there'yesterday, but no tidings
have yet been received. , -‘ . 1. ‘ ; .
- =Miss Harris is only 18 years old but is:
tall and well-developed for her age. She '
is about 4feet, 10 inches in height and
weighs about 115 lbs. She has dark eyes,
and heavy, chestnut hair. When she left
home she wore a blue suit trimmed with
blue brocaded velvet, and .a brown hat
trimmed with blue. She carried a bundle
containing one red and one green dress
besides a quantity of underclothing.
She is a daughter of Robert T. Harris,
who: formerly worked with Hoyt Bros.,
oystermen. -
Any information of the missing girl will
be thankfully received by her parents, or
by Chief-of-Policc M. B. Saunders, South
Norwalk. _

Delirium Tromens Leads to Suicide.
Tuesday evening at about half past eight
a messenger rushed into Lockwood’s Hall
and summoned Drs. Clarke and Murray
who were present, and the report was im-
mediately circulated that a man had at-
tempted suicide in the lockup, which, on
investigation, proved to be the case.
James B. Ogden, aged 55, belonged in
New Canaan,but had lately been employed
in South Norwalk. He was a dissipated
man, who had squandered for drink a
small fortune left him by the death of his
wife .five years ago. Despite the aid and
entreaties of friends, he had gone from bad
to worse, and his life of debauchery cul-
minated in his arrest last Monday night
for drunkenness, and his horrible death
by his own hand in a cell in the lockup,
while suffering the agonies of delirium
tremens. .
The manner in which Ogden accom-
plished his self destruction showed a de-
termination to make a thorough job of it.
He had cut a horrible gash in his neck,
penetrating the wind.pipc, with a jack-
knife, after which he deliberately and
violently battered his bald head several
times against the sharp latch on the cell
door, every jam punching the latch han-
dlc through the crown of his skull which
wasjitemlly full of frightful wounds. The
physicians saw at once that his case was
hopeless, but did what they could to re- -
lleve his sufiering. He lingered until
about eight o'clock Wednesday morning,
when he expired.
The remains were taken to Undertaker
Raymond’s establishment and prepared
for burial, and ,in the afternoon a New '
Canaan undertaker came down and re-
moved them to that town wlierejthe funer-
al occurred Friday. the day being the fifth
anniversary of the death of Ogden’s wife.

Fr. F. Perkins:
Dam SIR z—Your favor of 20 Februar
was duly received but has been neglecte .
I commenced running a steamboat to
Norwalk in 1834, and went next year to
New Haven. In 18391 took charge of a
.boat;to Norwalk again, with a view of ex-
tending the line to Bridgeport, which was
my native place. in 1844 I com-
manded the steamer Westchester, and
after the Nimrod opposition the steamer
Fairfield, I left New York at 6 a. m., and
Norwalk 1 g. m., stopping at ‘Saw Pitts.
The run to aw :Pitts was about 25 hours,
and 4; hours to Norwalk. I remained in
Norwalk for stages from Bridgeport, Fair-
fleld{ angl_Danbury, Ridgcfield and New
‘ Canaan: ' I kept no record of time, but
think it was aboth hours to Norwalk
includingithe. landing at Saw Pitts. In
after years I landed at Horse Neck and
Stamford, whicli- w0uld prolong the time
to Norwalk. The fare from New York to
or two, then 50 cents. I left steamboating
in 1863, and I shall be 85 years old in
September-next. Inever had an accident
happen during my steamboating whereby
any person was hurt or died on board. I
can give you no other information, that I
can recollect, and remain .
Yours respectfully,
' JOHN Baooxs.

cowardly, bt'utal fiend, is to have a moon-

suitable inscription. Iler young life was
a sad and gloomy ,onc. Surrounded by
wicked influences at home she left ‘ the
paternal roof to seek for herself a purer
clinic, and found employment as a servant
in the Hackcttstown'Academy, where she
continued leading li‘ucxeinplary life ‘until
she was foully murdered and outraged,
and her body left in an open lot. She
was buried in the paupcr’s plat without
ceremony or service, and it was not until
then that her virtues were recognized and
applauded; not until then that the words
of approval and appreciation—~that might
have brightened many a gloomy spot in
her sad life had they been spoken in time
—werc uttered in recognition of her worth
when she needed them not. It’s the old
story:

Three Peculiarities
Hood’s Sarsaparllla, the great blood purifier
and regulating medicine, is characterized by
three peculiarities, namely :
Ist. The combination of the various
I remedial agents used.
« I The proportion in which the roots,
2d . herbs, barks, etc., are mixed. -
The result is amedlcine of unusual strength
and curative power, which effects cures here-
tofore unequalled. These peculiarlths belong
exclusively to Hood’s Sassaparilla, and are
Unknown to Othersl‘
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is prepared with the
greatest skill and‘care, by pharmacists of
education and long experience. Hence it is a
medicine worthy of entire confidence. It you

headache, or kidney and liver complaints,
catarrh or rheumatism, do not fall to try
