The Illustrated Monthly is a welcome
boon to along sufferingcommunlty. It is
published by that enterprising firm of
clothiers, Comstock Brothers, and the
legend under its sub-heading, “S. Cem-
stoclt, Editor," insures its soundness of
policy, its orthodoxy and its literary ex-
cellence. It is brimffull of interesting
anecdote, poetry, illustrations and reliable
information on journalism, finances, mor-
als, fashionable clothing, popular prices,
etc. The extent of the first edition was
about two cords. We suspect that some
of the poetry was written by its associate
editors, Kemp and Benedict.
—When in New York over night, or in
need of a square meal, don't fall to go to
the Gunner Hones, corner Broadway and
40th street.
An entertainment to take place in Nor-
walk in the near _future, given by Pioneer
H. a L. 00.. will present among other
features a tableau entitled “Virtue and
Innocence." the characters being taken by
Editors ’ Wade and Rodemeyer.
The subject being so foreign to
them they are obliged to have a thorough
rehearsal every day to enable them to get
acquainted with their parts. A game of
draw poker will decide which of them
will play virtue.—Sfamfoni Comet.
Not so, Royce; neither of them can tell
the ace of ten spots from the jack of
queens. Hence their selection for the
tableau. Come over, Royce, and stand
behind them for contrast effect. ,
Last Sunday afternoon, Editor John
Wade went out With his bright little son
Ralph, for a walk on Maples street. Of
course Ralph persisted in walking in the
mud in the middle of the street, regardless
alike of the solemn protest of his pleading
sire and the disastrous consequences to his
little shoes and stockings. When papa
finally succeeded, however, in decoying
the headstrong urchin ashore he deposited
him tenderly across his reverentlv bended
knees and administered a gentle but stern
reminder of paternal authority with such
motherly grace and tact that behoiders
beheld in admiration John's very evi-
dent determination to train up a child in
the way he should—keep out of the mud.
The well knoWn and popular comme-
dienne, Miss Kate Castleton, will appearat
the [Opera House on Monday evening
next, in her great laughing success,
“Crazy Patch." The New York World
says of it:
Laughter and applause were the order
last if gilt, and the reception that was
given to the charming commedienne,
Kate Csstleton, when she tripped upon the
stage must have been very flattering to
her. Her songs. dances and insoucl'armi
captured flie'house. and encores were
freauently demanded. Very little can be
sai of “Crazy Patch," but the situations
and slight plot were sufilcient to permit
the talented people engaged to cause
manya hearty haugh. It may be said
that there is not a bad artist in the com-
puny, and specml mention would bein-
vidious.
Says the Litchfleld Enquirer: “ The
death of Mr. Beecher renews interest in
the residence of his father's famil here.
Dr. Lyman Beocher came to this p ace in
1811 and remained fifteen years. He was
married three times and had thirteen
children. The church in which he preach-
ed was situated a little east of the present
Central park. The house where Henry
Ward Beecher was born, June 24, 1813,
was that which was removed from the
northern corner of North and Prospect
streets, to spring Hill. a few cars since.
We believe that the last time r. Beecher
was in Litehfield was about thirty years
since, when he' delivered a lecture in the
Congregational church to aid in the pur-
chase of its organ.
Brookfleld possesses a marvel in the way
of telling time at any hour of the night,
and also of the day, without seeing the
moon, the sun or a time piece. This per-
son cnn be awakened from a dead sleep
at any hour of the hi ht, and be asked the
time and he will tell t to a nicely, never
varying more than ten minutes either way.
This font he accomplishes in a dark room,
and without any time piece in it. But
there are strange conditions necessary.
He must be in bed facin the north. Also
he must be upon his ba If he is in any
other position he has no idea of time;
whether he has slept one hour or six. In
the daytime he is obliged to shut his eyes
and hold his fingers on them, and if he
takes the position facing the north he can
tell the time of day with the accuracy of a
chronometer. He is willing to submit to
a test of this faculty, at any time by any un-
believer.-—Danbury News. '

President Clark, of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, issued his
first general order from New Haven Fri-
day, which results in some important
changes among the oflicials of the road-
the resignation of Richard W. Dowd, the
commissary, and two new offices, those of
purchasing agent and storekeeper, have
been created, General Superintendent
Henry A. Bishop, of the Housatonic road,
being appointed to the former, and W.
H. Elliott, an efiiploye in the commissary's
ofiice, to the latter position. Stacy P.
Opdyke, who recently resigned the super-
intendency of _ie New Haven and North-
ampton road, has accepted the position of
assistant engineer, and will be located in

by President Clark, but will not take his
oflice, which is a new one, till May 1.
There are rumors of other important
changes.
Last November the newspapers pub-
lished long accounts of a romantic mar-
riage that occurred in Ballston. Miss
Kittie 0. Heston, of that village, engaged
in a letter flirtation wilh George N. Hul-
bert, of Danbury. This they kept up "for
some time, during the course of which
photographs were exchanged between the
pair, and mutual pledges of love were
made. Finally a proposal of marriage
came from the Danbury man, and the girl
accepted the offer. He agreed to visit
her home in Ballston on a given day and
have the ceremony performed. This was
done and the couple have since been liv-
ing in Danbury. Mrs. Hulbert now brings
an action against her husband for divorce,
alleging as a cause therefor that his con-
duct since their marriage has not been
proper.‘ ’The young wife appeals to
friends in her old home to assist her in
her struggle to free her from a contract
that is distasteful to her. . .

The Com-ant says:—0ne of'tho news-
the application before a New York court
to have a nollo pros. entered in the case of
William Kissane, indicted for forging a
check of $12,000 against the Chemical
bank in 1854. The reason given is that
Kissanc is now a wealthy and influential
citizen of California, living under an
assumed name. The attorneys for the
bank opposed the motion on the ground
that said wealthy and influential citizen
had not shown his penitence by making
good the amount of money stolen from
the bank. Recorder Smyth has not
rendered his decision. Somewhat akin
is the case upon which the legislature of
this state acted yesterday in restoring
forfeited rights to a respected citizen of
Ridgcfield. who was convicted of crime
when a youth, but who served'honorably
during the war, settled in Ridgefield
where his previous record was unknown,
and has shown himself a thoroughly re-
formed man" by a reputable life for a
score of years. Recently he was elected
constable and in discharge of his duty
offended a saloon-keeper who took his-
revenge by reviving the story of the crime
and bringing suit for false arrest. The
meanness of this attempt, and its mani-
fest motive, led the general assembly to
restore his rights and validate his acts as
constable, with only two dissenting
voices.,
