In replying to our little squib last week
the Sentinel carefully refrains from copy-
ing the part which relates to its own stu-
pidity although the balance, of the article

the Sentinel hopes to hide the fact that it
is sleepy? .

social time was enjoyed by all during the
session. . It was reported that there had
been a large increase in the membership
of the order during the past quarter, and
other statistics of a most satisfactory
nature were presented. An excellentdin-
net of most ample proportions and fine
‘ quality was prepared by the ladies for the
delegates. In the evening a public meet,
ing was held, when addresses were made
by Mr. Range and other prominent gentle-
men of the order.
The circus will be here on Saturday.
It will probably be accompanied by
trickstcrs and mountebanks with plausible
games to catch the dollars of the credulous
rusticusses ; tricks that have been exposed ‘
in the newspapers time and again, but
which continue—and will probably con-
tinue to continue—to catch the venture-
some fools who will learn only by costly
experience,'the imbecility of betting on
another man’s game. For any man who
can read, there is no excuse if he gets
“done up" in proceeding on the principle
that he can get considerable of another
man’s money, for a small outlay, on a
trick performed by the other man. But
all the same, he will persist in sticking
his finger int.) the fire, and when it gets
burned, as it always does, he will squeal
like a stuck pig and whine for “law." If,
after all the warnings and exposures, our
rural friends, who come to town Saturday,
will steer clear of the thimble-riggers, card
tricksters, monte men and others who
seem to give’irrceistible odds, they will
show good serge. If they don’t they will
in all probability get nipped, and their
friends will laugh at them. It will serve
them right, and we shall be glad of it.
Work will be begun on the armory site
next month. ' .1

Rev. Samuel Dunham, who was pastor

McIntyre do Heath’s minstrels will per-
form in the Opera House on Friday even-
ing of this week. They come highly rec- '
ommendcd as a meritorious company and,
being probably the last minstrel show of
the season, will be likely to draw a large
attendance. The New Haven Palladium
of March 315t says of it :—
McIntyre & Heath's minstrels gave a
very good entertainment last evening in
Csrll’s Opera House. The songs of the
first part were well sung and the jokes
were unusually good. In the second part
the shadow raph was a new and pleasing
feature, an Delhancr and Guyer’s act,
“The Frog and the Clown,” was adecided
novelty. The quartette, DeWitt and Kir-
win, and the concluding burlesque, “My-
Kat-Oh,” Were also excellent.
Mr. Fred. Mitchell, who has been man-
ager ofthe OperazHouse for the past six
years,:has surrenderedzhis lease and with-
drawn from the management. Mr. Sam.
Weed. son of the owner, succeeds him as
manager. Mr. Mitchell has brought the
Opera House into} prominence among
theatrical people and won for himself a
large degree of popularity as an efficient,
discriminating:mansger. Our theatre
goers are indebted to him for many a rare
dramatic treat, and it is hoped and ex-
' pected that Sam Will successfully succeed
him. . ’
A tramp printer came into the GAZETTE
ofiicc Friday morning, hoarse as a bull,
and with the all-broke-up appearance of a
man who had had a bad night. He said-
he had applied for lodging at the borough
lockup the night before, but that in future
he would prefer sleeping under an open
bridge. He said he was obliged to sleep
on the bare stone floor, with not even a
plank to make the bed softer, and not so
much as a piece of .telegraph wire to‘put
over him as a "protection from the. cold,
and that when he was released in the
morning the keeper volunteered the cheer-
ful information that if he should be so feel
hardy as to ask for something to eat, he
would be , sent to the state prison under
the tramp law.
A New Milford hen sat for three weeks
off last week not a sign of an eggshell
was to be seen and the nest was :occupled
by five young kittens. This is undoubted-
ly the direct result of the New Milford Gap
table’s psrsistency in cxpounding;“Evolu-
tion.” An egg-centric old Norwalker once
related that he sat a hen on thirteen eggs,
from which she hatched ten chickens, one
streaked snake, one chipmunk and a bull-
frog; which would seem to have demon-
strated the theory of total depravity in
fowl ancestry, just as this New Milford
hen, by hatching out‘-:five kittens, proved
neighbor Bollas’ favorite doctrine of
“brute heredity" in progeny. '
Mr. Alex. S. Gibson has decided to ac-
ccpt the “call” to the First Congregation-
al church in Waterbury, his engagement
to begin on the first Sunday in June, at a
salary of $700 for fifty Sundays, or the
neat little fee of $14 for each Sunday.
Mr. Gibson has been organist at the First
Congregational church in Norwalk for the
past eighteen years, and has become so
thoroughly identified with the church and
every movement in its progress, that it
will be long before the society will be able
to make the new order of things seem
natural. Mr. Gibson' assures us that he

highly interesting.

The house of Mrs. Orcutt in Winnipauk
was burglarized on Friday night, and a
large amount of clothing and some few
articles of fancy goods stolen. The burg-
lar effected an entrance by cutting a small
piece out of the large glass in the door,
evidently with a diamond, reaching in
through the hole and turning the key in
the lock. It was apparently the work of
skillful and experienced hands, but no
clue has yet been found as to who the
burglar may be.
Wilton seems to be coming prominently
to the front as a favorite hunting ground
for burglars. Four attempts at burglary
were made there last night, neither of
which resulted in any great loss and but
little damage to windows Where the en-
tries were 'made or attempted. They
Were at the houses of John, Comatock,
George Comstock, Mrs. D. Gregory and
Miss Catherine Sturges. There would
seem to be an organized scheme to“work"
Wilton and vicinity by bungling burglars
of late, several cases having been reported
onlya short'time before. If the cracks-
men continue to occupy that “field of
labor” theywill probably soon be taken, for
as they are not shrewd or skillful enough
to do a successful job at their nefarious
profession, they are probably not cute
enough to successfully elude capture for
any length of time. In the meantime it
will be well for the peeple of that com-
munity to turn their shotguns loose and
keep their watch dogs loaded.

.an invitation was received and read from
Rev. Mr. Clarke, of the 2nd M. E.Church,
to attend service on the'evcning of Sunday,

sharp, on- the evening of that day.
Memorial Day will be observed with
appropriate exercises, and Co. F. 4th

Efforts are being made to have a good
display of martial music. Contributions
of flowérs and money are asked for, and
it is hoped our Citizens will respond with
their accustomed liberality, and thus help
the Post in their efforts to pay due respect
to their departed comrades.

The Missing Girl Found.
A dispatch from New York, received
last Friday, announced to Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Harris that their daughter Annie,
who ran away last week, was found. A
description of her was sent to the New
York police‘sdon after she left home, and
this description was read to the policemen.
One of these recollected that a young girl,
answering to the description, had met him
near the Grand Central depot and asked
him to direct her tosome place of employ-
ment. The. policeman asked her a few
questions, and then sent her to his own
home,where his wife cared for her for the
night. The next day he procured her a
situation on West 53d street. Her par-
ents were potified of these facts, and Annie
is now at home very much ashamed of her
indisbreet and foolish conduct.

stead of wending their ways to the church
of their fathers, with a prayer book and a
nickel for the contribution box, these
young men, tempted no doubt by the
sight of the first sunlight for a week, as-
sembled on board Cornell’s sail boat
“Ernie” and prepared to spend the mom .
in skimming over the rufiled waters of the
harbor. During the previous night the
sailboat had assumed its normal condi-
tion—upside down, and therefore, to com.
.ence with, the fourth commandment
was broken anda great deal of work done
in the way of “bailing out.” Finally every-
thing was got in readiness and with Oscar
Weller at the helm and Cornell at the
lunch basket the boat was set adrift. The
wet sails caught the'wiud and like a bun-
gry mud hen the beautiful yacht went
skimming o’er the waves. South Norwalk
was reached in something like ten seconds
-—according to “Dutch Charlie’s" watch,
and all hands were piped forward to bear
down the how so the mast could pass
under the draw bridge. They bore and
they passed. With gunwalcs deep in
brine the lower harbor was travelled over
and everything was as lovely as ,the four
tars could wish. Weller’s masterly sail-
ing ability was admired by all—except
Cornell who by this time had finished the
lunch and wanted to go on shore “to see a
man about a dog.” Noon came and Cor-
nell was hungry again. “Dutch'Charlie”
remembered his “Cape Cod turkey” at
in more northern waters. A vote was
taken on going home and resulted two to
two. Here was a dilemma. But “Dutch
Charlie" had an idea, strange as that fact
is. He called the company to order and
with true democratic wisdom nominated
McCann for chairman. Then he called for
another ballot and he and Cornell voted to
go home and only Weller opposed. Poor
McCann saw the trap but it was too late
and there being no tie, could not vote.
The go—home crowd had snatched victory
from defeat. The vessel’s head was turned
homewards and Cornell’s seat of aflections
swelled with the thought of the dinner to
come. But alas for human hopes! Divine
law had been outraged and retribution
was to follow. Homeward sped the gal-
lant crab—craft, weZmean,—and in a few
moments the propeller dock was reached
on a starboard tack. Coming about to
port tack the sheet ropes caught on the
end of a spile just as a gentle chhyr came
laughing o’er the waves. Quicker than a
flash the boat swung round and over she
went. Cornell was on the bow, practicing
a} new shuffle; McCann was near him get-
ting the ropes untangled ; “Dutch Charlie"
was in the stern thinking over postofilce
matters, and Weller was hugging the tiller
easily clambcred onto the upturned bot-

The annual Mayday parade of Compa-
ny F occurred on Thursday. It was a
rainy, unpleasant day, and the spirits of
the “sojer laddies” were not as buoyant as
would have been the case had the day
opened bright and cheerful. At about
nine o’clock the company, under com-
mand of Capt. Kinsman, and headed by
the drum corps, marched to the rifle range
in the lot on the Westport road opposite
the Isaac Church place where the rifle
practice was held ' under Capt. Kingman’s
inspection. which consumed over two
hours. Returning to the armory the com-
pany dispersed for dinner, returning at
1:80 p: m., when they fell in and marched
to the Amphitheatre and Went through the
of a skirmish drill, under command of
Capt. Betts aided by Major Crowe. At
about three o‘clock the rain drove the
company from the field and they marched
back to the armory and were drilled in
guard mounting. The day’s proceedings
showed the company to be in a creditable
state of efficiency. The following marks.

The Fire Alarm Coming,
At the borough meeting, held yesterday '
afternoon, for the consideration of the
electric fire alarm question, Chief Engin-
eer Prowitt introduced a resolution au-
thorizing an appropriation not exceeding
82,000 for the introduction of‘the system.
At the suggestion of Dr. Coolidge the
chief explained the workings of the sys-
tem. Mr. Moody spoke in opposition,
arguing that the scheme would be but
little, if any, more convenient than the
present one of hunting up a policeman
and having the town house bell rung; also
that it would be an expensive luxury of
slight practical value. Chief Prowitt show-
ed that much valuable time would be saved
by the system, and won a hearty round of
applause when he said that no town of
Norwalk’s size in the state had such poor
facilities for taking care of fire, and none
hada more eflcient fire department or
one that could handle a fire more effect-
ively. Mr. Hounecker also opposed the
resolution, and remarks were made in
favor of its adoption by Messrs. Golding,
Chinery and Coolidge, after which a
ballot was ordered and the resolution was
overwhelmingly carried, only one voice
being heard in the negative.

lost eighteen. Mrs. Thorpe’s were taken
between eight and nine in the evening as
about eight she went to the barn to care
for an animal and they were there and on
going again about nine they were gone.
It is a pity they botfld not get a dose of
shot, and one that would give them em-
ployment for some time.
A special town meeting, called by the
selectmen, was held last Saturday after-
noon, for the purpose of taking action in
the matter of building a new draw, and
also to acccpt the street laid out by Geo.
B. Gorham, known as the Gorham road.
At the appointed time a number met in
Sturges’ Hall and drganized by appointing
Judge S. B. Sherwood chairman. The
call was then read, when it was noticed
that no hour for the meeting was men-
tioned, that having been omitted in the
copy left with the town clerk. A motion
was then made to adjourn, which was
carried. In regard to the draw opinion
seems to be divided, some thinking that
that the old one could be patched up and
made to? stand; for] a year or two longer,
and others deeming it proper to replace
it with a new one. Another meeting is to
be called for next Saturday, and an en-
deavor will be made to have the call
properly drawn.
