Do not let it be forgotten that a majori-
ty of the Senate on last Thursday, under

of over $5,000,000 of indebtedness to
“abolish grade crossings and benefit only
the stockholders of the railroad corpora-

Arbor Day didn’t amount to much ilerc,
in Norwalk, as more peas than trees were
planted. Yet many did inaugurate the
beautiful and useful festival by setting
trees. At the Union school Dr. Anderson

aan nurseries, had a big day’s business rc-
tailiug trees of various sorts. In'other
parts of the State much more was ‘made

stricken with paralysis. His has been a
long and eventful life of unremitting labor
and we could wish that his setting sun
might have .been permitted to pass below
life’s horizon unobscured by such an affl-
ictive cloud. At latest advices he was
in a measure recovering from the shock.

whichcrushed the aged man into a shape-.

the Legislature protect public travel on
lliiighways crossing a railroad ?—-—Newtown
ea.
Let the Legislature pass such a law at
once, but in the name of decency and jus-_
tice, don’t let a venal railroad lobly force
a load of fine millions of dollars on the
tax-payers of our state, while the roads
with their free franchises from the state,
bear no proper proportion of this burden.
First sclectman Chas H. Wheeler last
week called the attention of the railroad
commissioners to the dangerous condition
of three railroad crossings in this town,
viz :—oue near the east end of the draw-
brldge at South Norwalk, one about a
quarter of a mile east of the station at
East Norwalk, and the Water street cross-
ing here in the borough; He reccom-
mends the establishment of gates or a flag-
man at these spots. The railroad com-
missioners have replied, appointing days
for hearings on the petition,as follows:
on the two first named crossings, at the
East Norwalk depot, on Wednesday,
11th inst. at 11 o’clock, forenoon; on the
Water street crossing, at- the borough de-

According to the foilowmg timely i
utterances forthe Boston Journal it would
appear that staid old Massachusetts is
afflicted good deal as Connecticut is at the
present time. The Journal saysz—We
wish that the members of the Legislature
were of such ahigh character that the
presence of a lobbyist would not be toler-
ated, but the people. must see by the re-
cent cxposc that the professional lobbyist
is not always the largest reaper at the
boodle harvest. Past members of the
Legislature appear to be willing, for a
consideration, to take a band in forcing
through measurcsdhat have not merit
enough of their own to carry them through
the- two branches. This class of lobbyist
is the most dangerous. for they are sup-
posed to be impartial advisers, instead of
paid agents. We do not know but that it
would be a step in tie right direction if a
certain number of legislative agents were
to be licensed and obliged to weara badge.

The Pauline Markham company closed
its engagement here Saturday evening,
after a week of discouragingly light busi-
ness. The company was by far the best
in popular and standard drama that has
made a full week's stand in this town
this season, but for some unaccountable
reason our people failed to support it 11;
it deserved. Tire bad weather uu-
doubtedly had much to do with the small
houses but the peculiar taste of our play
goers had more. Miss Markham, in con-
versation, says she is about through with
full week engagements at cheap prices;
that she has purchased a dramatization of
"Lady Godiva” by a popular dramatist,
and will next season go on the road with
that and “Lady of Lyons" and the “New
Magdalen” as the principal plays of her
repertoire, for one and two night stands at
the old prices. She also says she is not
discouraged by her latest experience with
Norwalk play goers when all the circum-
stances arc taken into consideration, and
will visit us again, possibly next season.
Mr. Randolph Murray made many friends
here, by whom his return would be cor-
dially welcomed.

“From Atlanta to the See."
It was thirty-one days after starting from
Atlanta before Sherman re-opencd commu-
nication with the North. In that time he
had destroyed two hundred miles of rail-
road, and broken up every connection be-
tween the Confederate forces east and west
of Georgia. He had done more than a
hundred million dollars’ worth of damage,
consumed the corn and fodder, as well as
the cattle, hogs, sheep, and poultry of a
broad, carried away ten thousand horses
and mules, and liberated countless num-
bers of slaves. Sixty thousand men and
thirty-five thousand animals liadbeen abun-
dantly fed, and when the troops reached
the coast they needed no provisions but
bread. They started with five thousand
head of cattle and arrived with ten thou-
sand. The teams were in splendid condi-
tion, and not a wagon was lost on their-cad.
The army had captured so many horses
that Sherman ordered them to be shot, be-
cause it demoralized the troops to ride.
The success of the campaign was equal
to its daring, and although its dangers
proved less in reality than in anticipation,
the skill of the commander and the courage
of the men are none the less to be admired.
The romantic character of the march in un-
surpassed. That au army should disappear
from sight for a mouth, marching unharm-
ed through hostile regions, its whereabouts
unknown to its friends, and emerge at last
as if out of awilderuess, with undiminished
numbers and increased renown, is a cir.
cumstance that equals in interest any
feat given in history; and so long as
American boys and girls read the account
of the nation’s achievements, they will find
no chapter more fascinating than that
which tells of Sherman’s March to the Sea.

General Adam Badeau,in St. Nicholas for

catching up with the boys was called
“Old Fox.” When the news of Lee's
surrender reached the fort. great was the
rejoicing among the Federals. Old Fox
cameiu to tell the news and sell the news-
papers containing the account. "Now,”
he said, “pays,” (Fox was a Dutchman,)

Tire Sabbath services at all of the city
churches were well attended and of deep
interest. At the Congregational church
the pastor’s subject ill the evening was
very appropriate, followmg the Com-

forty new members were received on pro-
fession and two by letter.
When thclarge addition to the Lock-

removed. It must be pleasant to have
such honorable neighbors,
On Sunday morning the “City of Al-

where they proudly floated through the
day. On Monday she sailed gracefully
down the harbor, on her first trip to New
York for this season.
“The problem of living in the metro-
polis is a perplexing one for people of
moderate income,” says the Sunday Tri-
bum. It certainly is so ill this new me-
tropolis of the State of Connecticut, and
scores of families are moving to the far
suburbs, and to adjoining towns, where
they can live and not give all their earn-
ings for rent and taxes, for the privilege
Of cooking, sleeping and eating in two
rooms.
The city police make many arrests for
drunkenness, especially Sundays, but the
enquiry has been many times made, why
a young man or boy, only partially under
the influence of liquor, yet peaceable and
quiet, should be arrested, while parties of
old ofi'euders, in companies of two or
three should be left to jostlc people from
the sidewalk and go free. Perhaps it is
easier to handle the young boys. But who
is it that sells so much liquor on the Sab-
bath, and why don’t our police arrest
these violators of the law ?
