"Lord! doth then see how dread a thing is death,
When silence eternal is all it leaves i

To watch in agony the parting breath.

And know that not the wildest prayer can thrill

Recently, an unusual number of homes
have been made desolate ill this communi-
ty and the hearts of relatives and friends
wrung with the unuterable agouics of be-
reavement, to an unwanted degree. The
young and the old alike, have been ta-
ken from the circles where they were
the hope and stay and delight of loving
hearts. No age or condition has escaped
the shafts of the fell destroyer. Beside
many oh so desolate firesides in our midst
sit inconsolablc Rachcls weeping for their
children because they are not. “Lord, so
teach us to number our days that we
may apply our hearts unto wisdom,” is
the one common prayer of His stricken
children. Reference has already been
made in these columns to the passing away

of that noble man and christian gentle-
man, WILLIAM S. Looxwoon,a man whose
whole life seemed one uninterrupted poem
of good deeds and generous, heavenly
impulses. With a heart as loving and
tender as a womn’s, a spirit always ami-
able and yielding, whose righteous indig-
nation nevor seamed stirredexcept at an-
other’s wrongs, he lived along, llnsllilied
life in this community, respected, revered,
beloved by all, and his departure was as
the going down of the sun in all the glor-

es of a summer evening or the garnering

of a sheaf of fully ripened grain into the
Master’s storehouse.
lumined and irradiated by such a life, has
no pang of unsupportablc sorrow.
more like the lying down to pleasant
dreams with the é'ure hope of awakening
on the morrow, with glad eyes greeting
ctcrnal sunshine. ‘

Such a death, il-

‘Tis

But our poor, human hearts cannot so
asily accept these consolations, when the

young and the gifted are taken from us.

The base ball gamc on the Fair Ground
Saturday between the Yale & Towns club
of Stamford and the Winnipauks ovaor-
walk was an interesting game and attract-
ed a large audience. The umpire’s decis-
ions were satisfactory, even to the specta-
tors, who are generally the bitterest critics.
After the third inning the visiting club led
our boys by one run, until the eight inning
when the Winnipauks rolled up three tal-
lies bringing them two ahead of the visit.

Charles Morris, a salesman and canvasser
for W. L.Warner,silvcrware dealer in South
Norwalk, was a good salesman, a plausi
ble talker and unusually successful on the
road. He would dispose of more silver-
ware, rugs, etc., on the installment plan
than the average drummer, and the secret
of his success has just got out. Morris him-
self has also just got out, and “there’s the
rub." It is revealed that he placed several
hundred dollars worth of goods at a fig-
ure far below their actual worth, collected
the money, and a few nights ago when his
employer, Warner, went to his house to
balance up accounts with hiul, he found
that his cfiicient salesman, with his wife,
had skipped, evaporated, disappeared for
parts unknown. A further investigation
revealed the fact that he had collected a
considerable amount of money, and placed

morning on the City of Chicago.

Mr. George F. Thorpe, has been ap-
pointed postmaster to succeed Captain
H. P. Burr. Four years ago, when Capt.
Burr took possession, he refitted the office
so that we have had one of the neatcst
offices to be found for a place of this size,
and his administration of the business has
given universal satisfaction, and many
even of his political opponents would hove
been glad to have had him remain. Mr.
Thorpc’s commission has not yet arrived,

possession before the first of the month. ' .

7 Ian Killed.

Thursday morning the dead body of a
man was foundon the track about half
way between South Norwalk and Sauga-
tuck, mangled and bruised in a frightful
manner, with both arms cut off and the
skull fractured. The body was brought
to South Norwalk, and nobody there could
identify it, although it was learned that
the man came from Portchester on the
night before, on his way to New Canaan,
and, having fallen asleep on the train, had
been carried by and did not wake up un-
til he arrived at Saugatuck. It is sup-
posed that he started late at night to walk
back to South Norwalk, and was over-
taken by a night train and killed.

It has since been learned that the unfor-
tunate man was a German named Frank
Slater, who was employed by Stephen

Considering the long stagnation in com-
mercial affairs and the long continued and
unsatisfactory conditions of local busi-
ness, the unusual number of new build-
ings going up in all parts of Norwalk, is
something 'phenominal. There are but
two ways for accounting for this—one the
cheapness of money and materials and the
other the unrivaled beauties and attract-
iveness of the topography and scenery in
and about Norwalk. No town on the
footstool has a, greater or more lavish sup-
ply of natural beauties to attract people
in search of a place of residence.

Hood’s Sarsapar'llla, the great blood purifier

three peculiarities, namely:
I t. The combination of the various
8 I remedial agents used.
. The proportion inwhlch the roots,
2d a herbs, barks, etc, are mixed.
The process by which the active
3 d = medicinal properties are secured.
The result is amedlcine of unusual strength
and curative power, which effects cures here-

Unknown to Others:

 

Hood’s Sarsaparllla is prepared with the
