At the house of John Conklin, Jr., in East Norwalk, last Tuesday, an incipient firc damaged a. bed and other furniture to the extent of about $15, besides severely burning an infant which was asleep on the bed.

Post. ——A visit to the Gsoxav Hones, C. B. DcKlyn, proprietor, will well repay visitors to the city. There were few Connecticut women of the last ccntury,who did not keep a diary. We quote this from a diary of 1790: “ We had roast pork for dinner,and Dr. S. -——~', who carved, held up a rib on his fork and said; ‘Here, ladies, is what Mother Eve was made of.’ ‘Yea,’ said Sister Patty, ‘and it’s fromvcry much the same kind of critter.’ " Danbury fisherman are catching lots of suckers. Friday Sol Meyer was looking into the water and saw a sucker come up the stream very rapidly and struck against a rock. The concussion dazed him so that he flopped about.

It. is announced by the Hartford Post that notwithstanding the many state excur- sions of the National Guard this year, the annual camp at Niautic will be held, and as a brigade camp, too. Whichever regi- ment goes to Philadelphia, there will be three remaining to keep up the credit of the state by the waters of N iantic bay. The battalion also and perhaps the battery will be on hand. The repetition of the Norwnlk Catholic Union’s entertainment in thc Ooera I-Iousc Thursday evening should be borne in mind—and very evidently it is occupying a good share of the public attention, as the diagram is terribly disfigured with “check" marks The delightful opera, “Trial by Jury,” is always enjoyable, and the farce “Handy Andy” is sure to attract alargc number. Mr. James W. Hyatt of Connecticut, to whom the office of Treasurer of the United States has been tendered, is a man, in every way competent to carry on the business of this department of the Govern- ment. His business training, financial ability, and strict integrity have long been recognized in his state, and he has been placed in many offices of responsibility. Connecticut has given the country a num- ber of good Treasurers. The latest before Mr. Hyatt was Mr. Gilfillan. Mr. Hyatt’s home is in Norwalk, and he is favorably known by many New York business men. Borough Clerk J. Sammis Seymour has an ultra-marine taste and expects to reside with his family, at Smith’s Island, for the summer. He has the latest chart of Nor- walk harbor ordered from the Coast Survey office and will soon be studying the chan- nels, rocks and shoals lying between Wil- son’s Point and Norwalk light, preparatory to his diurnal navigation of this danger- ous route. He could get more friends over to see him if he would buy a steam launch. Chief Engineer Prow itt has written the Gamewcll fire alarm folks , particular fits, in response to a letter from them, protest- ing against holding them responsible for the inelllciency of the Norwalk alarm, and alleging that the department had not taken measures to protect the bell and striking apparatus from the weather.

Mr. Geo \Vard Selleck, is the proud possessor of one of the ten solid silver stars which embellished the masonic collar worn by George Washington dur- ing his official term as Master of Alexandria Lodge, No. 22, afterwards called Alexan- dria Washington Lodge, of which lie was a member at the time of his death, and by whom he was masonically buried ,at Vernon, Dec. 18, 1799. The star is of course held in reverential regard by Mr. Selleck, who shows it toibis friends and brethren with justifiable pride. ’ H. A. Rose, postmaster at Ccntcrbrook, who was arrested at Walliugford, Thurs- day, for connection with the sun-dial scheme, is under $1,000 bail. Rose has been for some time engaged in advertising schemes, and in this case offered the gul- lible “ a new American stem-winder and setter for $1.” The time piece turned out to be a cheap brass sun-dial, which, with a gold plated chain, is valued at 1'7 cents. He denies all fraudulent intent, alleging that all who were dissatisfied with the article were at liberty to return it and re- ceive their money back. Daniel C. Birdsall, editor of the Hart- ford Telegram was arrested Thursday night on a charge of embezzlement on the information and complaint of Col. E. M. Graves and other recent associates in the publication of the paper. The writ covers nine specific charges of embezzlement from his associates, of sums amounting to $1,800, and includes also charges of false entries in the books of the concern. Bird- sall succeeded in obtaining bonds for $1,- 000 for his appearance at the police court Saturday morning. Birdsall was arraign- ed in court Saturday when a postpone- ment of the case was granted for two weeks. At the Pioneer entertainm cut, to take place in the Opera House on Tuesday evening, 24th inst., the best talent possi- ble to be secured has been engaged.

Memorial Day. Department Commander Henry E Taintor has issued orders concerning the observance of Memorial day in this state, which occurs on Monday, May 30. The clergy are urgently requested to recognize the occasion by appropriate services in the churches on Sunday, May 29. In towns in which Grand Army Posts have not been established members of the order from adjoining towns and communities have been detailed to provide for the ob- servation of the day.

Morris Post at Wethersfield has been appointed an assistant inspector in place of Com- mander George R. Hurlbut, who has re- signcd on account of ill health. George R. Wetherby of Trumbull Post at South- ington has been appointed an aidde-camp on Department Commander Taintor’s staff. “Hillside.” Very many of our best people will sin- cerely regret to learn that Mrs. J. C. Fitch expects to abandon her charming home at “Hillside,” where for so many years it has been noted as one of our most popular and successful educational institutions. The death of her lamented husband, Dr. Fitch, and Mrs, Fitch’s health not permitting her to continue this last established school, are the causes leading to her present pur- pose of removing with her family to Bing. hampton, N. Y., for future residence, “Hillside" is left in charge of Gen. Crnu. furd and it is greatly to be hoped ‘that he may so dispose of it, as that its former high reputation as one of the best board- ing schools in the country may be main- tained. The permanent closing up of this noted school, would be a for great- er misfortune and loss to Norwalk, than Mr. Hyatt’s failure to get appointed U. S. Treasurer. ’ ' NORWALKE'AZETTE, ”WEDNESDAYJMAY 11, 1887, Personals from the “ Record." Miss Amy Converse, of Norwich, is visit- ing Miss Fannie Wilson, on Arch street. Col. F. S.

He will make a stop at Charles- ton and will go as far as St. Augustine. Charlie Chapman was in the village with his road machine last Thursday.

Mr. Martin Doschcr and family have moved to New York to remain while the damage to their residence caused -by the fire is being repaired. A new fence has been built on the north side of the High school grounds. Would it not he an improvement if the cobbles were removed from the grounds? Mr. Charles Fable has greatly improved the appearanccpf his tonsorial rooms by painting and frescoiug. He has also put in a handsome marble top walnut case. Mr. A. T. Goodsell has been confined to the house for some days with an attack of mumps. Miss Lulu Sturges officiated in his place as organist at the Congregational church. .

It netted about Sixty dollars, which is to he applied to the purchase of maps, or rather to the payment of maps which have al- ready been procured. ' Bishop Williams visited Memorial church of the Holy Trinity on Sunday evening and administered the rite of con- firmation to a class of nine. The congre- gation was unusually large, a large propor- tion of the Congregational society being present, the service at the latter church being omitted. The singing was remark- ably fine. On Monday afternoon a special town- meeting was held for the purpose of vot- ing to build a sidewalk from Saugatuck to Willow Brook Cemetery. E. M. Lees, introduced a series of resolutions, the main points of which were “to appoints. committee to construct the sidewalk.” The resolutions were adopted, an attempt to have the vote taken by ballot being lost. A committee of five was then ap- pointed, consisting of the selectmen and Messrs. George S. Adams, Theodore E. King and Rufus Wakeman and the entire matter was left in their hands, there be- ing nothing said regarding the material, the route or the cost. We may be My taken but is seems to us a very loose way of doing business, and we should .think after the recent experience which the town has had, it would be a little careful how it went headlong into a job of this kind. 0 BEDDING. Hon. L. Sanford lost a valuable cow last Tuesday. Sunday, Mr. Aaron Banks died at Miss Sarah Coley’s, aged about 80 years. Mr. Frederick Olmstead is preparing to erect a new house a short distance south of his residence. _ The Lounsbury farm, of ninety acres, was sold at auction, Monday afternoon of last week. Mr. W. A.

The New York and Bay State Tele‘ phone Co. are constructing a line through Wilton in an easterly and westerly direc- t on. Of the eleven J usticcs of the Peace chosen last fall, but four, Messrs.

The "old leather man” has not lost his interest in English literature, as is shown by the fact that he was seen one day last week reading circus posters.

Rodcineyer made a good “Record," which found a ready sale in the city. Dr. S. H. Orton and family are again occupying their cozy and attractive cottage on Elmwood avenue. Lewis Raymond, has been employed in the freight house of the New York and New Haven Railroad. One of the City churches is wrestling with the problem, a new church, a new organ or a new organist. Hiram Lawrence, has left the employ of the Consolidated Railrmid, and is now employed at Crofut & Knapp's shop No 1. The Mochanica' Journal suggests that “Washington street should have been mncadamizcd." That suggestion has been often made to the City authorities in regard to Washington and Main streets but they are inclined to spend $2,000 or $3,000 yearly on the streets, instead of making a single permanent repair to any of them. From the heights of Elmwood avenue the new houses being built in East Nor- wnlk can he distinctly seen, and look at- tractive. The l'eSldelliS there claim to be satisfied without a City charter, but in a few years, they will be all included in the Borough or City, and about that time South Nor-walk will be a separate town. The Salvation Army commenced their summer Campaign of Sunday afternoon meetings by a parade and prayer meeting on Railroad Square. Their ranks were very thin, only 9 being present, but the prayers and cxhortation of the female Captain though very earnest, seemed not to effect the listeners. We had the pleasure of calling upon a family living in a cottage on Haviland street and was greatly surprised to find so much room,and so many conveniences, in so small a building. It is said that the plans were made by the suggestion of Mrs. Rowan. Why do our monied men neglect to build more of such houses. A score of them could be rented in a week. The success of the steamboat has been . greatly marred by the failure to make arrangements to sell tickets and check baggage, by the Wilson Point branch of Danbury, R. R. It has been a source of much inconvenience, to passengers who had made arrangements to go by Steam- boat.
