. Does Advertisinirrayr
One of our brightest and most intelligent
Norwalk ladies, who has frequent occasion
to vislt relatives in Bridgeport, states that
whenever there she makes it a point to go
down to the stores of The D. M. Read Co.
and W. B. Hall & Co., for the special
purpose of meeting acquaintances from
Norwalk, and vicinity. and that never in a
single imtancchasshe failed tomeet some
onefrom this section whom she knew, who
were over there to trade. When asked
how she accounted for the novel fact, she
said it was easy enough of explanation.
These two Bridgeport merchants, she
said, advertised in detail in the Norwalk
papers, their leading varieties of goods
and also the prices of the same, to :a great
extent. These prices were below those
rulingin Norwalk, and of course these
things attracted the attention of ladies.
And when they visited these stores they
never failed to find what was advertised
and at prices deemed fair. Then their
larger stocks gave ladies a better chance
of selection, while a larger line of choicer
goods than any ever kept in Norwalk were
always to be found. In reply to these last
points it was suggested that by going to
New York still larger stocks of goods
could be found, and of the cheapest as
well as the most expensive qualities. True,
the lady said, but it takes a whole day to
visit New York and one returns home
utterly tired out. while we can run over to
Bridgeport after breakfast and return in
time for dinner, or after the noon meal
and back for tea, with not more than a
third of the expense and without being
tired out by the trip._ Then, too, she ad-
ded, for all the ordinary wants of a lady
or family, these Bridgeport stores have
very carefully selected and satisfactory
stocks, which is shown you with great
promptness and cclerity. We urged that
Norwalk was the ladies’ home, that our
merchants paid rent, taxes and living ex-
pcnses here and was not there a sort of
moral obligation on the part of all good
citizens to buy everything possible at
home. Not if our home merchants won't
keep such goods as are required and sell
at as.low prices and especially let the
customers know what they have in their
stores, promptly replied our lady friend.
You, she continued, ought to know the
uses and advantages of printing in the'
papers our families read, the leading
articles any merchant keeps, and not to
have to go and search out the parties who
may happen to‘have aspecral lot or goods,
trimmings and the like. We ladies have
learned to know, she continued, that the
best goods and best bargains are given us
by merchants who advertise the most
' liberally. ' '
These important suggestions, we con.
fess, were a revelation to us, for we had
been at a loss to understand how two dry
goods stores in Bridgeport could afford to
pay us more money each and every month
of the year than all the dry goods stores
in Norwalk together had paid us in five
years. We were told a few. days since
that one of the firms mentioned above
asserted that the trade from customers
known to have come from Norwalk,
amounted to over $13,000 last year. But it
is a fact that not one single dry goods store
in Norwalk advertises regularly, while
Read and Hall each have occupied a half
column for years past and recently Irave
contracted for afull column by the year,
on the ground, as they state, that they
knew it had paid them to advertise in the
Gamma. But we say frankly it is a con-
dition of things that ought not to exist.
Our home merchants ought to have the
spirit and enterprise and intelligence to
put money in their own tills by judicious
and liberal home advertising. Why, any
Western town of 16,000 inhabitants would
support at least four daily papers, and
here one could not live, simply because
our merchants, as a body, do not regularly
and systematically advertise. A Western
merchant would just as soon expect to do
business without shelves or counters iii
his store, as not to have his advertisements
regularly in the local papers. But how is
it here? Not one of our dry goods mer-
chants, not one of our hardware merchants,
not a lumbes yard, but one coal dealer.
(Raymond Brothers), not a blrildcr or
blacksmith, not a jeweler, but one single
grocer (Mr. Geo. F. Quintard), advertise
by the year. The record is unworthy the
enterprise, liberality and live-and-let-livc
policy that ought to prevail in any town
of half the size of Norwalk. There are
two large wholesale concerns in town
that we know as well as we know anything,
could double their profits by a judici-
ous and liberal use of newspaper space.
Our clothing houses and boot and shoe
men advertise largely and find it pays them
to do so. The largest "and most liberal
users of printers’ ink, for years, have been
Comstock Bros., and they know by ex-
perience that it pays them. The largest
advertisement in to-day's Gazmir is one
from the N .f Y. Mutual Life Insurance 00.,
and they tell us that they have about two
millions of life insurance in and about
Norwalk, the getting of which, they think,
is lergly' due to their liberal advertising in
the Gaza-m. The Barnnms, of Chatham
Square, New York, have advertised largely
with us for nrore than a quarter of a cen-
tury, and do it yearafter year, because, as
they say,4thcy know it pays them. It can-
not be possible but that the saine benefits
would result and even in a larger degree,
to our own home merchants, did they
adopt the same means for securing cus‘.
tomers. It is an ununswerable axiom of
trade that if you Irave anything to sell you
cannot let too many know it.
We have indulged in these reflections at
this-time because of the fact that our ad-
vertising space is, and has been for months
past, overcrowded, by out .of town adver.
tisers and so it cannot be charged that we
have uttered these truths because We were
ourselves in need of the advertising favors
of ourvlocal merchants. A glance at our
crowded columns will sufficiently refute
any such suspicion of a selfish motive.
We only wish our home merchants were
as wise in their day and generation as
those are who are constantly and increas-
ingly taking trade from right under their

Dissatisfied with a New Postmaster.
A change made by the Democratic Ad-
ministration in the postmastersbip of the
little town of Springdale, on the New
Canaan Railroad, three miles from Stam-
ford, has caused a great deal of trouble
and dissatisfaction to the people of that
place. Mr. Woodbury, the former post-
master, whose administration of the office
in every way satisfied the community, was
removed and the posrtion given to Mr.
Knapp. who has transferred the postofllcc
from a point near the railway station to a
shop which he keeps, half a mile away.
Formerly the people of Spriugdale got
their mails without any delay or' diffiélrlty
and the letters which they mnilcd were
sent promptly from Springdule. Now, it
has been nécessary to hire an old man to
rry the mails t'onnd fro between K napp‘s
p and the railway station. The people
Sprin‘gdalc are not at all pleased with
change. I

THE EYATT BANQUET.
A Distinguished Company and a
Pleasant Time.
The banquet given by the fellow towns-
men of the Hon. James W. Hyatt, at the
Norwalk Hotel on Saturday night, in
honor of that gentleman's appointment to
the office of Treasurer of the United
States, was perhaps the finest affair of
the kind ever given in this town. Covers
were laid for 65 persons, and the supper
was an elaborate one, served in eighteen
courses, as follows :
Oysters on the half shell.
Soup,—consomme. .
Boiled Kennebec salmon—lobster sauce—Boil-
ed potatoes. . _
Cucumbers. Soft shell crabs on toast.
Roast turkey—cranberry sauce.
Mashed potatoes. Stewed tomatoes.
Broiled spring chicken. ‘
1 Green peas.
Frogs’ legs—para ey sauce: .
Sweet breads with spinach. Philadelphia
squabs with dressed lettuce.
Chicken salad. *
. Lobster salad.
Crackers and cheese. Charlotte Busse
ice cream.
Asparagus.
Strawberries. Assorted cakes.
Currant jelly.
' Wino jelly. _
Assorted fruits and nuts. Black codes.
The dining room was profusely deco-
rated with flags, gracefully draped along
the sides, banks of flowers were tastefully
arranged at either end, the word
“H-y-a-t-t" stood out in large letters of
white flowers against an outspread Ameri-
can flag; huge bouquets of rare flowers
were placed at frequent intervals along
the table; Wheeler & Wilson’s full or-
chestra was stationed in a flowery bower
and discouraed heavenly music during
the entire banquet; a dozen colored
waiters in swallow-tail coats and low-cut
vests, hovered lightly and briskly about
the tables.
At the head of the table of honor sat
the toast master, J. S. Seymour, Esq,
with the guest of the evening, U. S. Treas-
urer Hyatt, on his right, and his excel-
-lency, Governor Lounsbury,on his left;
next to Mr. Hyatt sat his friend Congress-
man-elect Amos J. Cummings, of New
York. The balance of the company was
made up as follows: ,
Hon. Asa Smith, Hon. A. H. Byington, Col.
F. St. John Lockwood, Hon. Asa B. Wood-
ward Gen. Charles Olmstead, Gen. D. N.

Nearly four hours were consumed in
discussing the bill of fare, which by the
way, reflected credit upon mine host,
Belding, who had arranged everything
with such nicely that notwithstanding
the capacity of III! cuisine was taxed to its
uttermost, there was no “hitch” or delay
or undesirable feature about the whole
affair. ‘
The toasts and responses were a most
enjoyable feature. Mr. Seymour presid-
ing with felicitous tact and readiness. Tire
toasts and responses were as follows, and
were given in the following order. the
programme being disregarded for reasons
of convenience: “The president of the
United States,” Gen. D. N. Couch; “Tile
Commonwealth," Gov. Louusbury; “The
guest of the evening," Treasurer Hyatt;
“The Sun," Hon. Amos J. Cummings;
“The old town," Hon. E. J. Hill, (whose
remarks are given elsewhere in the Ga-
za-rra;) “The clergy," Rev. Dr, Clark;
“Tire World," Rev. W. J. Slocum; “Busi.
ness,” Gen. Chas. Ollnstead; “Pollticsh
Judge A.B. Woodward; “New England,"
Col. F. St. John Lockwood, who re-
sponded with a song which was warmly
applauded; “Art,” W. H. Perry, Esq.;
“The times we live In,” Dr. J. G. Gregory ;
“The short haul," B. W Maples; “Out-
siders," J. A. Perry, Esq.; “War,” Capt.
Fro'st; Messrs. Hill and Price favored
the company with the duett, “The Cur-few
Bell.” Brief speeches were made by
various other guests and it was about
one o'clock Sunday morning when the
festive company dispersed. It was a
memorable affair.
“Little Red School House.”
So conspicuous an honor coming to a
citizen of Norwalk, asthe Treasurership,
of the United States, gives pleasant em-
phasis to oncgof the beautiful thoughts
expressed in Senator Hill's admirable
little speech at Saturday evening’s banquet,
i. e. Mr. Hyatt’s graduation from “the little
red school house." Many of our readers
will remember when Mr. Hyatt’s father
lived and conducted a shoe business at
what is now the residence of Sheriff Danu_
He was an active and energetic business
man and late in life, as is too often the
case, from too great confidence in his
customers, he failed in business, but no
one who knew him ever felt or surmised
that he was other than a strictly honest
man. “is misfortune, no doubt has re-
sulted in the good fortune of the son.
Left to his own resources, Ire comurenced
life's battle as every poor boy should do,
resolutely and industriouslv. From the
“little red school house" he graduated
successively to the mercantile clerkship
and banking house, and in all his various
positions gave evidence of the fidelity to
duty he had inherited from his worthy
father. Then be filled about all the local
offices the partialitv of his fellow citizens
our representative in the House and
Senate of the State Legislature. For ten
years and more he was at the head of our
State Bank Commission. From this, it
was an easy ascent to the National bank
Commissionership for Connecticut and
Rhode Island. His financial skill and
ous, it was a natural result that Mr. Bar-
num should seek the higher honor for
him, of Treasurer of the United States, on
that position becoming vacant. This is
an honor a second time conferred on
Connecticut in recent years. It is an
honor in which all citizens of Norwalk
especially, and irrespective of partisan aflll—
iations, take an exceptional and intense
pride, and no one more heartily extends
congratulations than the anma. It is
a long way from “the little red school
house" on the Newtown pike, to the
largest and most sumptuonsly furnished
northeast room of the Treasury building
at Washington and the desk of the Treas-
urer of the United Statcsf It is the road
Irowcver though long it may be, that this
event should inspire every boy in Nor.
walk to trend with renewed vim and honest
courage.
Mr. Hyatt left for Washington Monday
noon. He will at once enter upon the
duties of his office. His family will con-
tinrrc their residence here and it is his
present purpose to return borne each
Saturday and remain ovcr Sunday with
them.

THE can TOWN.
The toast to which Senator E. J. Hill re-
sponded to at the Hyatt banquet Saturday
evening:
Ma. ,Cnumuna : .
We meet lo-night under these ha py auspices
and with these pleasant surronn lugs, to ex-
press our appreciation of a friend and to tender
our hearty congratulations to a worthy citizen
upon his appointment to a position .01 honor
and responsibility—one of the most important
in the gift of the Executive. And our congrat-
ulations should be all the more hearty and sin-
cere, because in this particular case, as I per-
sonally know, the honor and office have sought
the man, and the integrity and capability of the
individual have been the determining factors in
the selection. ' _ . ‘
That the ofice will be filled with dignity and
credit to himself and the State which he repre-
sents. we. who have known him for so long a
time, have the most positive and abiding faith.
For many years in succession, he held the posi-
.tion of Warden—a position dependent upcuthe
wish and will of the people,and from the tune
when he first assumed its duties till the day
when he retired, with the universal esteem and
good wishes of all classes of the community,
his personal and ofiicial character have been
nuassailed and unassailable. and when retiring,
he held a higher lace in the estimation and
regard of his political friends and opponents
alike, than ever before. And not only in his
native town has he been respected and honored.
but sent by his fellow-citizens to represent
them at the Capital, as Chairman of the Finance
Committee of the General Assembly, be dis-
played so marked ability that he was called to
the highest financial position in the State. and
for ten years he has filled the allies of Bank
Examiner with the utmost satisfaction to all
parties. Is it any wonder then, when under
the operation of political causes, a change was
desired in the National Bank De artment, that
the qualities which he manifests in the service
of the State, should have caused him to be
chosen to a place of greater responsibility and
dignity in the afi'airs of the Nation. and finally
to be placed at the head of the monetary inter-
ests of this great people as Treasurer of the
United States.
I am one of those persons, Mr. Chairman,
who believe in party government, and in bold-
in the part in ower to the stnctesi responsi-
bility for a aitb nl discharge of the trusts com-
mitted to it, and so believing,*I can have no
word of criticism for the policy of that Admin-
istration which insists that all of its branches
shall be under the control of those who are
heartily in sympathy and oo-operafron with it;
and while I cannot consistently Wish or .hope
for our friend as long and protracted service
in the position to which he has been a pointed,
as but afsw years ago was terminals by one
of his Republican predecessors,_I am sure we
all can and do wish for him, while there, equal
success and honor. . _
It is a long step from the little red school
house in Norwalk to the United States Treasur-
er’s cues in Washington, and it has taken fifty
years of earnest, faithful work to compass it.
And generally it is just such work that wins.
Some men,under the impulse of agreat excite-
ment have achieved distinction by a single act ;
others,flung up a ainst a chance, have stuck
there, and instant y developed powers hither-to
nnaus acted, even by ourselves; but. gentle-
men, t e older I grow, t _e more 1 come to be.
llevegtbat greater praise is due and greater re-
ward will come to the man who, under the
influence of a sense of duty, moves along, year
after year. through adversity and prosperrtynn
an unbendiag. undulating course of honesty.
integrit and loyal devotion to his country.
But while we all rejoice to-night at the success
which crowns the close of the half century; of
the life of our honored guest, many of t ose
resent will hardlv realise what these years
Rave brought to this community, and with so
much of which, he in whose honor we have
met, has been so intimately associated.
Growing, as we do, with the growth of the
lace in which we live, we fail to appreciate the
acncm lished facts. Fifty years ago Norwalk
was a anvil of about 0 000 inhabitants; now it
probably has 0781‘ Id, _ . My own recollection
of the dear old town, raises me bapk 83 Years
when, as s little boy, I stood upon the old
wooden bridge and watched the water pouring
over the dam u on the rocks below.
But what a 0 use has some over the Whole
lace.
pThen, the Old Well, to which we would
walk or pay one shilhng for a ride, on Newell’s
or Elwood’s stage was a little hamlet, now it
is a city of 7,000 inhabitants, with pushaud vim
and spunk enough for one double its size; East
Norwalk and Five Mile River were farms and
Wlpnlp pk consisted of a small felt and paper
mill. film“ WINIEPHIIS wants and will have a
horse railroad; 'ast News"; has its railroad
station, port 03106 and borough water, and Eye
Mile River owns more oyster steamers and
ships oysters annually, amounting in value to
more than all the land in that section was then
worth. i‘ben Norwalk was practically an in-
land town With six feet of water at high tide
and spleen loci of mad at low rido._ Now a
vcssoI drawing twnlyp feet can run its oowsprit
against the stone buds . Then we laid "W

rirs section ; now we have six wide awade, en-
ergetic newspapers, filled wrth Wisdom, ant and
humor, and every crank in town can make his
own selection and gratify to the full his own in-
tellectual taste.
Then we had one bank, and the unfortunate

business principles, solicit us to borrow a mil-

to both borrower and leader, and wrth no loss

waiting twenty-five years for. Then everybody

for fifty years, has already been supplemented
by another and a larger one. Then we had
for)! few brick buildingsruow very few wooden
busy. Thou snow in the winter, mud in the
spring, and dust in the summer, was the ma-
terial over which we atamhl‘rpgiy picked on
way in the darkness of the night: uuw gas an
aloclrieity display to our dazzled eyes smooth
walks of stone and concrete in both borough
and city. Then we had two good schools, one
at each end of the tow, conducted under the
union system, at far less expense and until im-
meusely better results than now, under theore-
trict sovereignty system, where each committee
is actuated by the single purpose .of drama
as much money 99 pouible from the town, an
the teachers exercise the utmost ingenuity for
shortening the hours of study. Then we paid
our spiritual advisers from $500 to 3.,999 a
year and had no organs in the churches to help
them spin out the services. Now they fax us
from two to three thousnu . dollars a church

each other. atmuded lectures. cultivated social
intercourse in each other?» homes and by each
other's firosi-los ; now we warm ourselves b a
radiator or a hole in the floor, talk throng a
wire by electrity and occasionally cultivate our
intellectual faculties by attendingia ten-cent
dramatic show.
In some respects the change has been for the
better; in some, for the worse. But in one
thing there has been no change. Meir think
now as they did then, and as I bolicVe they ul-
wars will, that to win and retain the esteem
and respect of his fellows, a man must be hon-
est in his relations to his lcllowman, gentle and
kind in_his family, and public spirited and a-
triotic in the community. With no idea of at-
tery, but simply speaking the plain truth, I
think I can runestly say that during these
yrars our friend-has won such a regard, that
in assuming the duties of his new and respon-
sible position, he will havp the best wishes .01
all who have known him in the past, and Will
very speedily receive the respect and esteem of
all of those whom he \vili meet In his new asso-
ciatious.
The speech of W. H. Perry, Esq., in
response to the toast to “Art,” was as fol.
lows:
I am asked to respond to the toast of “Art.”
May I ask, Mr. Chairman, what art? which
art? ls itpolilical art? In that I am by no
means versed, since [ have never aspired to
any higher degree therein than that with which
our' guest rubably began his career the
worthy public trust, the office of justice of the
peace. And even then, my knowledge of the
art would have failed had it not been for the
generous assistance of our friend, the Senator.
more learned therein, his colleagues, and a re
count~that valuable art sup lenient.
Mr. Chairman, you have p need me in a very
unpleasant position. ‘ It is not fitting for me to
suggest that there isanything artful about this
appointment. Sympathy is a pro-requisite of
art. Let me rather speak of the sympathy
of his fellow-townsmen for our guest, when iu
I can proffer him more material aid. That
sympathy, as you well know, air, has always
been ready to support you in the past with. a
full faith in the wisdom of vour ventures.
Could you have doubted it before, you must
have been reassured when some evenings
since,a few of your .‘ellow-tirvnsmen personally
offered you their aid in bearing any of your
.burdens, from the position of Bank Examiner
to that of the Presidency of the Horse Railway
,Company. And further, they oflerod to pro-
vide one who they were confident would accept
the administration of any other trusts in your
hands; and still further, I doubt not, had he
been still extant they or one of them would
have off~red to relieve you of that goat. Now,
sir, for the future, as well I can' say that you
may call up Ill your fellow-townsmen at all
hmf‘S, that we are always read and anxious to
stand by you, several thousan strong. _ And
the II"II.-'f'1‘ We are placed, the better. We 1111:
(lei-stair] there are room and positions for only
some six hundred about you. We are many
times more numerous than that. Be assured,
~ir. that your sun -athetic fellow townsmen are
always really to In or with you and share your
burdens and ofiicen Very rrruch g.icred, lu-
deml, will [Ira-y be if you should look elsewhere
for support. This is .9. glorious day for Nor-
walla ; it is a glorious day for your fellow-
t lwnsmen. The anOl’S that be have honored
one of our number. And we expectantly trust
that he will honor the rest of- us.
\l’cdnesdsy's Evenin Sun, in an arti-
cle on "Nutmeg Legis ators,” says this:
“John Ferris is a Norwalk coal merchant,
but he makes a rattling good speech, and
has carried measures tlrrongh the House
in spite of adverse committee _. reports.
He wears a blonde mustache out after the
style of John T. Hoffman’s, and his hair
curls gently. He never took any lessons
in elocution, but Ire gcsticulates with rit-
most grace.——Speaker Hoyt is a slender
man with a graceful figure, a keen, black
eye, a resonant voice, and he looks like
John Hay. He is a strict disciplinarian
when Ire holds the gavel, and as popular
a man as ever sat in the Speaker's
chair, If he goes to the next Republican
Convention he is likely to make the speech
nominating Connecticut’s candidate for
the Presidency. Hoyt is just in his prime,
"has a political figure, lives within two miles
fof the New York line, and wears the
Irandso‘mest trousers that are seen in the
onnecticrrt capital. His trousers are as
marvellously artistic as his cousin, the
Bald Eagle’s scarf pins are.”

The most desirable unimproved
property in Norwalk is now for the
first time in the market. Every-
body knows that
. Prospect Hill
well deserves its name, and it would
long ago have been dotted with cot-
tages if the property had been for
sale,
The plot now offered lies west of
the New York and Boston Turnpike,
east of Bouton Lane and north of
Prospect Avenue. It has been di-
vided into blocks of suitable size by
avenues 60 feet wide, crossing each
other at right angles. These will be
fenced, turnpiked, and put into first-
class order without expense to pur-
chasers. '
There are nearly three hundred
lots of 50 feet front and from 150 to
250 feet deep, which will be sold at-
prices ranging from
$50 to $450
to prompt purchasers, men who buy
to build.
Lying midway between Norlvalk
and South Norwalk, part of the
operty is within the borough
IIIIiits, part within the city lines, and
the remainder outside of both.
Easily accessible, affording n

and of a large area of the surround-

Building lots in this magnificent lo-
cation are offered for the present at
such low prices and on such ‘ .
Easy Terms
that every prudent man can afford
to' buy.
With every deed warranted there
can be no question as to perfect
security in title. The soil is rich
and the iota are large enough for a
house and garden on each. The
' City Water
runs through the premises.
~No more desirable property can
be found. The prices are very low,
the terms are easy. and the location
so admirable that the announcement
that these lots are in the market
should be sufficient to command a
rapid sale. It is the poor man’s op-
portunity and afi'ords unparalleled

buyers will secure the best locations.

Hundreds of men in Norwalk live in
tenements where there are few con-
veniences and fewer comforts, and
pay a large share of their earnings
for rent. These men can now buy
lots, build houses according to their
means, save money and be independ-
ent of landlords. It is easy to save
when so much is to be gained. Let
no man say he cannot afl'ord to buy
a lot. Examine the map, look at the
property, and then the terms will be
made to suit your circumstances.
There should be no delay. There
never was a better opportunity, and
this should not be lost.
