iug $2.50 to $3.20 per basket for it.

'The entertainment of Pioneer Hook and
Ladder Company to be given in the Opera
House next Tuesday evening, is occupying
a prominent share of the attention of the
boys of the company and of the public
too, judging by the celerity with which
the tickets are being gobbled up. The
public in genclnIis standing by the fire-
men iu loyal shape, and the prospect is
that the Opera House will be crowded
with as large an audience as ever assem-
bled in the house. Everybody is going,
and there can be no doubt of the financial
success of the venture.
The Woman’s Club of Nowalk gives a
reception to its friends on Friday evening
of this week, at Mrs. Morison’s, on West

for the evening's treat is Mrs. Terhune,

land.” She is to address the company. on
the interesting theme of the “ Relation of
Mother and Daughter." Mrs. Terhune is
personally known to some of the club as a
most delightful and fascinating woman
socially, and every one knows her merits
asa writer. Other entertainment is also
to be offered, we understand, and we
count most fortunate all those who hold
cards of invitation for that evening.
The train that killed the aged couple at
South Norwalk Saturday seems to have
been a peculiarly malicious one. ‘At the
Catherine street crossing, on the same fatal
trip, it narrowly escaped runningxover an
old lady who had made a mis—step into a
cattle-guard and extricated herselffiust in
time to avoid being killed, but too late to
prevent the locomotive shaking hands with
her apron strings as it rushed by. And
this occurred just a few seconds after the
deadly locomotive had brushed the nose
of ahorse that was stopped just in time
to spoil a tragic item for the GAZETTE, on
the crossing near the FairlgGrounds, and
the driver insists that the engineer gave no
warning by either whistling or hell ringing
on approaching the crossing. Such neg-i
lect is criminal, and should be investigated
by the officials.

It is no secret that A. M. Palmer means

fall season Ada Dvas will take her place
in Mr. Palmer’s company. Ada Rodney
Dyas’ return to the footlights—which have
not seen her much of late seasons—will be
made in the Madison Square stock. That
she will well fill an important place there
may easily be predicted. The daughter
of Edward Dyas was almost born to the
footlights. Her parents were for many
{pars prominently connected with the
nglish stage, and she was very young
when, in 1861, she made her London debut.

Sewer System Carried. .
The borough meeting held Monday after.
noon was unusually large, as the subject
accustomed efiort to adjourn, failed and
Gen. (has. Olmstead offered the following
and con, was passed by a large majority,
as Was the succeeding resolutions:
Resolved, That an act of the General As-
sembly of this State amending the charter
of this borough, passed at the present ses.
sion, be and the same is accepted.
Resolved, That the cost of a generalsys-
tem of sewers for the borough, shall be
borne by the borough at large and not by
assessment of benefits, the Court of Bur-
gesses are hereby directed to begin the
construction of such a system at once, and
$100,000 is hereby appropriated for that
purpose, not less than $25,000 thereof to
be expended this year.
Resolved, That the Court of _Burgesscs
be and they are hereby empowered and
directed to issue bonds of the borough at
such time or times, or from time to time,
as they shall deem necessary and proper,
to an amount not exceeding $100,0JO over
and above those already authorized, paya-
blc at some certain time or times, not ex-
ceeding forty years from the date thereof,
with or without an option to pay at an
earlier time or times, bearing semi-annual
Interest at no greater rate than four per
cent. per annum; the funds realized from
the sale of said bonds at not less than par
to be applied exclusively to defraying the
cost of said sewer system and expenses
incident thereto, and for no other purpose
whatever. .
The meeting then adjourned, and an
immediate inauguration of the general
sewer system for the borough may be ex-
pccted. Many present favored the sewer
system, but were opposed to a departure
from the old time assessment and benefit
plan on property holders, and payment of
the entire cost from the borough treasury.

A Fatal Bite.
No more sincere and enthusiastic “re.
joicer" over Ex-Wa‘rdeu Hyatt’s good
fortune, was to be found anywhere, than
in the person of honest Abe Wright. It
was with a sense of horror that the rumor
spread the town last Friday, that poor
Abe had been nearly chewed to death by
a ferocious dog. This was all the more
distressing from the fact that “Abe” of
all others, was to be the~noisiest as well
as heartiest “enthuser” at the evening’s
demonstration in honor of his political
god-father and former employer. But all
anxiety was relieved. when foremost in
the great procession of that night, with
his dog-bite wounds (which were really
severe)‘weli bandaged and in his rcsplendJ
cnt uniform, proudly marched ”Abe" at
the head of the procession, which in view
of the startling stories put in circulation,
of his beingut the point of death—-
"Show ed the rogues, they lied
For “Ah-z” recovered from the bite,
The dog it was that died.”

Interesting Correspondence.
It is hardly a matter of surprise that the
inducements offered by Messrs. B. A.
Atkinson & Co., the. Liberal House Fur-
nlshcrs of Boston, should excite the sus-
picion in the minds of some, (more parti-
cularly their Rivals in business,) that they
will not carry out their agreements and do
all that they promise; but we can assure
our readers that they are a reliable firm
and entirely responsible for all the state-
ments and promises they make. The
