OnThursday, June 8d, Miss Edith E. Gray, daughter of . Mr. Aaron B. Gray, of South Norwalk, will be married to Mr. Frank W. Adams of this borough at the residence of the bride’s parents on Day street. At a meeting of the boss barbers, held Tuesday evening, the Sunday closing movement was reconsidered and voted down. So ye who have whiskers will still have the same potent excuse for stay- ing away from church. A Woodbury correspondent made the builseye wink when he fired this shot :— “Many attend the circus every year who wouldn't be guilty of paying their grocery or meat‘bills, to say nothing of a newspaper subscription. On Thursday Mr. John J. Hsalon had occasion to visit Bridgeport on business, and when he was ready to return he pur- chased a ticket for South Norwalk and boarded the limited express, which for- merly stopped at the drawbridgc but does not now, nnd was carried to New York. .. W. H. Bunnell, the Bridgeport butter dealer, whose place was recently attached by a Brooklyn party to satisfy a claim of $1,000, has settled with his creditors and is again doing business. He is, said to have been the victim of an attempt to force him into bankruptcy. It was undoubtedly the Standard? "in- telligent compositor’" who made its ac: complishsd Norwalk correspondent call auctioneer Mitchell, “Twitchell,” but that popular crler “must remember that fame itself has been defined as simply having one’s name spelled wrong in the papers. Herr Most ssys: “We have quite a strong group of anarchists in Bridgeport." If that fact had“ been known before, the opposition to Bridgeport’s keeping the, county jail would not have been so strong. And even now, in view of Herr Most's as- sertion, there is no doubt that the county towns would willing be taxed to erect a gallows in that'weary-burdened city. The grand formal opening at Roton Point will take place on Monday next,81st inst., and promises to be a most attractive and auspicious opening for the new man- agement, Messrs. H. J. and G. S. Grum- man, and is sure to be largely attended. Prof. Heine’s band will be in attendance all day, did the City of Albany String Band will funish music for dancing. There will be no skating. The Messrs. Grumman extend a cordial invitation to all to be pres- ent and enjoy the opening. The circus came, saw, conquered and went. It drew a big crowd, both after- noon and evening, composed of the usual medley of country cousins, dudes, sports, coons, babies, etc. The circus performance hyi a number of good fea- tures, but one ring would have amply ac. commodated the entire show, whereas there were two rings and a platform, which spread out the performances in rather thin proportions. The Canaan News tells of a man who be- gan work on a barn 30 years ago, and who finally got the frame raised on Thurs- day. For 30 years it has been a conun- drum often asked: “When is Tompkins’ barn going to be raised 1’" and for 30 years the invariable answer has been, “Next Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Charles E. Hoyt, of Glenbrook, aged 70, who was visiting her son C. W. Hoyt, of Scofield & Hoyt, on Friday, fell down stairs and was seriously injured. Her head was badly cut and her wrist sprained. The shock was a severe one but at last accounts the lady was recover- ing. . When a young lady gets married over in Danbury the father rushes to the baker and orders a big wedding cake made and placed in a public show window, the cake being inscribed with blood red sugar: “My Daughter is Gone.” This is to make happy the young man who gets married. —Waterbury American. ' At the adjourned city meeting last even- ing the question of sewers was discussed and Messrs Talmadge Baker, Frank H. Nash and Theodore Lowndes appointed a committee to confer with the committee on sewers of the Common Council. The question as to erecting gates at the railroad crossing was defeated by a vote of 63 to 62. An urgentirequest is extended to our patriotic citizens to donate flowers for the decoration of soldiers’ graves onfl‘iemorial Day. All such floral offerings should be brought to Buckingham Post room on Monday next, from 9 a. m. till 1 p. In. There should, and undoubtedly will be a hearty and liberal response to this invita- tion. . Twelve-year-old Charles Wilmot, of Southvillc went fishing for suckers in the Housatonic river a day or two ago. He had an unusually promising bite and pulled out a Siamese twin fish. It was equipped with a single body, two heads and two tails. Boy-like Wilmot cut his curious captive open and spoiled .a rare curiosity. _ Sidney Nash, of Norwalk. a traveling canvasser, was robbed of his watch, pocket-book containing a sum of money, and about 85 in speciein the Elm House. Bridgeport, last week. The pocket-book and contents “were afterwads restored to 'him but the restof the stolen articles were not recovered. . The railroad commissioners will insmct the Danbury 65 Norwalk railroad tomor- row, and we will wager them a good din. ner that they can find no better or more efiicientiy managed railroad in the state. The stock of the road is rated over twenty points higher than a year ago, and very few sellers at that. “Just you throw out a suggestion in the News,” said a gentleman yesterday, “for Stamford and Norwalk papers to here- after speak of it as ‘the new Bridgeport court house.’ I for one decidedly object, under the circumstances, to have it called anything with the word ‘county' attached. Bridgeport pays for it to the tune of a quarter of a million and Bridgeport’s it is from cellar to cornice.”—BridgeportNews. 4 . At a meeting of the Benjamin Isaacs M. and B. association, holden Tuesday even- ing, it was voted that the proper commit- tee be, and they were instructed to secure plans,aimcifications etc., for the immedi- ate erection of a buildihg, on the lot re. cently purchased by the association. The association is young, scared two years old, but already has sufficient funds to warrant the erection of a building that will be a credit to both. Norwalk and the Masonic fraternity.—Republiean. The Dorlon House market is now open, NORWALK“ GAZETTE,“ TUESDAY MAY 25.1886, Youna'VCoie’s Case. One part of the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Frank Cole of Can- non's is now solved. He is not only n01: dead but up to the present time is alive and well. But the cause of his hasty flight and his immediate whereabouts are as deep mysteries as ever. On Thurs. day evening his father who lives in Can- nons received a letter at the Georgetown postollice. It was postmarked “Katonah, New York, May 17th, 1886 ” It was dated the day previous, Sunday,'aud was from the missing young man. It contain. ed a few requests as to the disposition of his personal property and spoke of the writer’s action in the matter of running away. The letter was very wild and inco- herent and while the writer expressed the greatest affection for the young lady whom :hel had deserted, yet at the same time he spoke very mournfully of life as not being worth living to him Altogeth- er the letter was one that could well have been dictated by a disordered mind and the great mysterious something which seemed to be urging the young man to de- struction was apparently nothing but the creature of his heated imagination. No tidings of his whereabouts were mention- ed in his letter, but“, acting on the hint given by the postmark his father proceed- ed the next morning to Katonah. Here they could find no trqcc of him The postmaster had not seelfihim and the only approach. to a clue dlffiiovered was that the hotel keeper thought he had noticed a man, one of whose fingers were missing, but he was not sure about it. The disap- pointed father drovc all about the place making inquiries but couldfind no further clue. He then returned Home, and others who have visited Kntonah have also re- turned equally unsuccessful. The Gazn'l'rlr reporter saw Mr. Cole, the father, at Cannons yesterday. He seemed much angered at the slanderous reports which had been spread about his son’s habits He spoke with much warmth on this subject and intimate that some of the authors of these statements would cre long be given an opportunity to prove or retract them. He had gathered the opin- ion from the letter he had received that his son was slightly out of his mind, but he was confident he would turn out all . right and then some of the parties who caused the trouble would be brought to account. He was greatly worried over the matter but felt relieved to find that his boy was alive. Inquiry among the neighbors evinced the high esteem in which young Cole was held. All spoke well of him and deplored his hasty action If he had led a fast life they knew nothing of it, and, indeed, dis. believe it. Of a dozen or more questioned not one was found to utter a word against the character of the missing man. All united in' wishing that he would return and resume business among them again. An examination into his afiairs shows his estate to be porfcctly solvent. His debts do not amount to more than $600, while his personal property and book accounts will foot up to not less than $1,500. Pro- vided hasty action is not taken by the creditors the estate will doubtless pay dol- lar for dollar and leave a good surplus. In all probability by next week more will be known in the matter. ——<§>———— Grand Odd Fellows- These are the newly elected officers of the Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F. :—Grand master, William H...

It turns out that the man who was killed and frightfully mangled by the cars at South Norwalk on January 1st, 1885, and who was identified as John Hess, of Dan- bury, was not John Hess‘of Danbury, as that individual has turned up as an em- pioye in a liquor house in New York.

Nash, of Company G, 4th Regiment in Danbury, and his two . Lieutenants, Wm. H. Knowles and Alvin D. Tooley, is dis- solved with the thanks of the Commander in-chief. The finding of the Court of Inqury was that the Lieutenants were guity of insubordination, non-support of and antagonism to their captain, neglect of duty and setting reprehensible and un- soldierly examples to the men underthem. The report says : “More flagrant cases of insubordination could hardly be im- agined than those which the conduct of these two ofilcers has displayed.” It says further that the Captain was found to be “a capable intelligent and earnest officer," and “exonerates him fully:from all charges of all conduct unbecoming an ofilcer or gentleman."

Resolved, That it be reported to the Board of Managers, and that we recom- mend its acceptance. While taking this action, however, we express our regret at the circumstances that have led to Mr. Bissell’s retirement from the service of the society, and desire to place “on record our sense of the diligence and fidelity mani- fested by him in the several positions which he has held in our work ;” we gratefully appreciate the devotion and zeal with which he has discharged his trust. We are gratified. also, to receive from him the assurance of his “continued fidelity to the objects, principles and work of the American Sunday School Union." And we cordially extend to him the expression of our earnest wish and prayer that he may enjoy increasipg tokens of the divine favor that he may "still bring forth fruit in old age,” and exnevrieuce the fulfillment of the romiso, “ ith long life will I satisfy In and show him my salvation.” At the meeting of the board of ofilcers and managers the above action of the committee on missions was read, and the resignation of Mr. Bissell accepted. The resolutions expressing the feelings of the committee on missions were unanimously approved and adopted, with an additional one, ordering that a copy of this action of the board he sent to Mr. Bissell. The Rev. J. M. Crowell, D. D., secretary, in "sending this oflcial notice, appends the assurance of his own personal regard and testimony to long years .of faithful and useful service. Mr. Bissell entered the employ of the American Sunday School Union Nov. 1st, 1853, as district secretary for New York, and was continued in it in various capac. ities until new, with the exception of an interim of five years, when he was secre- tary of the American Seaman’s Friend society, and editor of the Sailors’ Magaetm. - ,:—-————¢¢>————————- .

Last Sunday evening the annual anniver- sary of the Saugatuck Congregational Sunday school was held in the church, which was tastefully decorated for the oc- casion. The exercises consisted of sing- ing and responsive reading with prayer by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Tuttlc, The secre- tary’s report showed that the number con- nected with the school at present is 199, of which there are 18 teachers, 8 ofiicers and 173 scholars. During the year 22 have joined the school, while 5 have with- drawn, making increase of 17. The Treas- ure; reported the amount collected during the year, together with the amount on hand at last anniversary, as $498 88, of which, $365 86 had been expended, leav- ing a barce on hand of $133.02. The average a endance has been larger than for any year during the past ten years. Decoration day will be observed on Monday the exercises being under the au- spipes of Harry McDonough Post, G. A. R., whose committee have made the fol- lowing arrangements :—A Committee con- sisting of about fifty ladies has been ap- pointed to solicit and arrange flowers for the decorations. The ladies will meet at E. A. Gorham’s furniture rooms on Mon- .day morning to‘receive and arrange the flowers which may be contributed. At 12:30 the procession will form on Main street right resting on State, in the follow- ing order:—First division—Drum corps, Compo engine company, No. 1, Pioneer He Hanker- for Gore. The subjoincd bloodthirsty epistle was recently sent to Herr Most, the bedbugg‘y anarchist, by a Bridgeport seeker after vengeance, whose “young and butiful wife was brutally treated by a physician in Norwalk. «k died in 10 days." He proposes to wallow in the blood of “Old connecticut”-—the Norwalk doctor's blood being “far from sufilcient to satisfy,” and “the wrath of God too slow and slack." Although he is decided as to the amount of blood he wants, and the style and vari- ety of his awful vengeance, and although he “understands cience and art of the present age,” he is at a loss to know just how to go to work to carry out his plan of wholesale butchery, and "gwith a child-like faith he appeals for advice to the brave anarchlal leader and general, Herr Most, who recently ran away at the first alarm of danger and hid himself among the cob- webs and dust undera bad woman’s bed, whence the ofiicers pulled him out by the heels. In his desperation and helplessness this Bridgeport crank is undoubtedly a fair representative of the anarchisl element generally. It has been truthfully said of anarchy: “Its leaders are men without hearts, and its followers men without heads." Here is his letter:— Her Most. Dear Sir.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the only medicine of which this can be truly said; and it is an unanswerable argument as to the strength and positive camp of this greatmedlclue. Hood's Sarsaparllla is made of roots, herbs, barks, etc., long and favorably known for their power in purifying the blood : and in combination, proportion, and process, Hood's Sarsaparllla is peculiar to itself. “For ecorroww and comfort we use Hood’s Sarsaparllla."

Bouaht " Death 1:: Norwalk. Frank Shiloug , of Danbury, a boy 14 years old, attempted suicide, last Wednes- day. from motives unknown, by taking arsenic. The Danbury News, Thursday, says — . . Yesterday he worked until‘iabout nine o’clock, and then left the shop for his boarding lace. Finding no one at home he attired imself in a dress and hat be- longing to his aunt. Even thefalsefrlzzes .were not forgotten, but were so neatly arran ed that his deception was unob- serv . In this diaguise he made his way to the Danbury an Norwalk station, and took the 12 o’clock train to Norwalk. At a drug stomin Norwalk he urchased five cents worth of arsenic, an returned to Danbury, arriving in town on the 8:18 train. About 4 o'clock he called at Michael Blake’s, on Railroad avenue, and in conversatioqremarked that he met a 'colored person in the street who asked him how to take arsenic. He said that he told him the we was to put it into a little water, and ask if he was right. He was. answered in the afilrmative. In a few moments he ashpd for a glass of water. Receiving the water he took from his pocket a small ckage and emptied the contents (aw ' powder) into the glass and drank it. . o the mation asked him, if that was arsenic he just drank, he replied that it was only a seidlitz pow- der to settle his stomach with. Dunn the next few moments he was save times asked if hehad tsken poison, and he continued his denial for some time, till at last when he was suffering with intense pain, he tolkd his story of h to Norwalk and to ing the arsensic. a trip' GAZEITE OFFICE.
