A New Hotel.
It must be apparent to every citizen of
Norwalk, with half an eye, that our town is
growing with a rapidity never beforeknown.
More new houses are now being erected and
have, within the past few months been built,
than ever before within the same space of
time. This growth is not speculative and
abnormal. but healthy, substantial and solid.
It has spread over the entire town limits,
but is perhaps more conspicuous in and about
the borough, city and East Norwalk. - than
elsewhere. This, of course, is encouraging
to every enterprising citizen loyal to the
place of his abode. But there is one thing our
borough is lamentably and even discredit-
ably deficient in, and that is in first-class
hotel aocommo dations. We need and must
have a new hotel, with all “modern improve-
ments,” if we would maintain even a respect-‘
able reputation among our sister villages of
the State. .We have as co‘mpetent a land-
lord as can be found anywhere. but what
(an he do in a house built generations ago
and gone to decay? We have not a single
place in town, not already full, where a
family from abroad can get in to pass the
summer and then had we a first class hotel
how many families there are who would
abandon house-keeping, on account of the
deplorable “ help” trials of the overwrought
wife and gladly board. Such a house,
properly built and run, would pay a fair
dividend on its cost and would pay beyond
computation in bringing back old natives and
friends who would gladly summer with us,
could they find suitable accommodations.
We know of three businem men of the town
who are ready and anxious to subscribe stock
to such an enterprise, and will not some
wide-awake man get up a meeting and have
the matter considered after the manner of
the late Court House scheme? A good hotel
would be worth several court houses to us,
even' though said court house didn't cost
$150,000 as it wOuld' have cost us and will
cost Bridgeport. Now, boys, for a new
hotel.

More Railroad Items.
Frederick Paine formerly freight agent'
for the Consolidated road at Harlem River,
has been appointed superintendent of the
Danbury & Norwalk branch of the House-
tonic road. He succeeds Supt. Wilkinson,
whose resignation will take efiect about
June 1. The Danbury News says it is
‘ rumored also “that Master McChame
N. Slingfield of the Housatonic railway,
will tender his resignation to take efiect
at about the same time, to take a position
in the purchasing department of the Con-
solidated road ."
Saturday the directors of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company voted to lease the Hartford do
Connecticut Valley road for ninety-nine
years from the first of last April. They
also authorized the president to lease the
Naugatuck road for ninety-nine years for
$200,000. Another matter discussed was
the purchase of land sufficient to lay their
four tracks as far as New York. The
directors voted to authorize such pur-
chase. From an inside source it was
learned that the Consolidated road would
be very likely to secure the Naugatuck,
although the figures might have to be
raised a trifle.
The Standard says that: “The sub-
stitue bill reported by the Railroad Com-
mittee relative to the extension of the
time of the Hartford & Harlem Railroad
Co. to complete their road, passed the
House, and was defeated in the Senate;
the House adhered, the Senate receded,
and passed the bill in concurrence. The-
New York &. Conn. Air Line, the only
legally organized company appeared be-
fore the Committee in opposition to grant-
ing the extension asked for. They had
n‘o_ objection, however if guarded by -
proper restrictions'and by evidence sub-
mitted they succeeded in convincing the
.COmmittee that in justice to them, the fol-
lowing conditions should be required:
1. That the question as to the present
legal status of the Hartford drilarlem must
be decided by the courts.
2. That after that point was decided,
then they should expend in, construction
in this State, $500,000 before December
30, 1888, this being the time limited by law
for completing their road. '
That the committee should have inserted
the condition of the expenditure of this
money, has been made the subject of some
unjust criticism by parties who evidently
were not familiar with the provisions of
the general railroad law. This makes it
obligatory on the part of any railroad
company‘ organized under it, that the
company shall commence the construction
of its road and expend thereon 10 per
cent. in cash of its subscribed capital
within two years after filing its articles of
association. Otherwise its corporate
existence shall cease.
Now although nearly three and a half
years had expired it was shown in evi-
dence that the H. & H. had not com-
menced to construct their. road; and not.
a dollar had been expended thereon.
Therefore had their extension been granted
as they desired it. withOul this expendi-
ture, the committee, and the legislature,
“had they passed it,” would have violated
their own law, and in efiect given life to
a corporation that ceased to exist one and‘
a half years ago on account of their inn-
bility or failure, at least. to comply with
this provision; and would have given
them a three years’ extension of that life.
This expenditure of money in actual con-
struction was evidently put in for the pur-
pose of showing intention to construct"
and good faith on the part of the railroadi
company, and to relieve the H. & H. of;
that obligation and pass a healing act to
cover up these defects, the Railroad Com-
mittee deemed/was an unfair and unjust:
discrimination in their interests as against5
the New York & Conn. Air Line, who had!
in good faith complied with all the pro-E.
visions of the law. They therefore re- ‘
ported the bill covering the points iridi-
cated which the friends of the N. 1 . & C.
A. Line aided largely in passing both
Houses, and which hence become alaw.

. Mr. Hyatt’s Money.
The cash in the Treasury of the United
states is being counted, incident tothe trans-
fer of the office to Mr. Hyatt. The cour-
mittee to count and audit consists of Mr. E.
B. Daskam, (8. Stamford man, by the way,)
who is chief of the public moneys division,
and who. represents the secretary, A. T.
Huntington of the secretary’s office who re-
presents Mr. Jordan, and Charles H. Noble
of Cor nectieut who represents Mr. Eye“.
The examination will involve an actual
count of all the money in the treasury, in-
cluding $137,000,000 in paper money, $95.-
000,000 in the cash value, $60,000,009 in
standard dollars, $25,000,000 in gold coin
and a smaller quantity in fractional silver.
The committee in making the count will
have the assistance of seventy-five persons,
including expert cormters. It will take two
months to count the money.

The Woman’s Club Reception.
Last Friday evening witnessed a gathering
unique in the character of Norwalk enter-
tainments. The annual. reception of the
Woman's Literary Club was held at Mrs. T.
S. Morison’s delightful home on West ave.
Over two hundred invitations had been sent
out in the name of the Club, and, from the
number of guests present, only a very small
minority could have failed to accept. The
towns of Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwalk
and Westport were represented, the last
named in the person of the Rev. Mr. Tuttle
and his charming wife.
The evening's entertainment opened with
a fine piano selection by Miss Sally Betls,
who has been studying music in a New York
conservatory through the past winter. Miss
Bette is too general a favorite in musical
circles to need any comment here. She is a
young lady of unusual ability, and Norwalk
congratulates itself upon receiving her back
again within itsancient borders. Following
this came the address of welcome from the
President of the Club, Mrs. Henry Bissell.
We could not help thinking that the Club
ought to be, as we doubt not it is, proud of
its chief officer, as we listened to her grace-
ful and pointed little speech, statingthe pro-
gramme of the evening and introducing Mrs.
Terhune, or “ Marion Harland,” as her
readers love to call her. Mrs. Terhune’s
personal appearance commands attention,
by her dignified, matronly and gracious
carriage. She is rather large, with a fine,
intellectual countenance that suggests what
every one who reads her works scarcely
needs to be told, i. e., a large brain and a
warm heart. Her paper on “The Relation
of Mother and Daughter "a must be heard to
be appreciated. The sympathetic voice em-
phasized many a thought that struck home
to the hearts of those present. Full of
common sense an motherly wisdom. she
also flashed out bits of wit and humor that
brought the attentive audience to a burst of
applause when she closed. Many a young
mother and housekeeper gathered-about her
to thank her for the help she had given in
her books on “ Common Sense in the House-
hold,” “_ Common Sense in the Nursery,” &c.,
while the gentlemen assured her that their
wives “made just as good gingerbread as _
their mothers ! ” Her suggestion as to
establishing a business relationship between
husband and wife was well received,» one
gentleman declaring that he did not dare to
go home since he knew what awaited him
there 1 Miss Mattie Knapp followed Mrs;
Terhune with a song. Her clear, rich
voice seemed sweeter than ever, and she
must have realized, from its effect upon her
enthusiastic audience, the depth of pleasure
she gave to the company. The programme
closed with a violin solo by Miss Elliott, of
Brooklyn, who, with her sister, were guests
of Miss Kate Anderson. The little musician
‘brought down the housc” by lier simple
manners and charming playing. The re-
mainder of the evening was spent in dis-
cussing the entertainment which had al-‘
ready been enjoyed, as well as that which
was then brought to light .in the shape of
“ refresh merits.” ‘
Mrs. Morison and the club must have felt
that the entire afl‘uir was a great success.
Each member wore a distinctive badge of
white ribbon, marked with the mystic letters
f‘ U. L. B. 0.,” which, after vainly pouring
over, we haveconcluded mustmeau “United
Beauties of Literary Culture." The floral
decorations were exquisite, and light and
beauty met the eye at every turn. We felt
like saying with the children, “ We don’t
want to go home," and we say now to the
ladies of the Norwalk Club, in still more .
juvenile language, “Please go and do it
some more.” “x x x.”

Interesting Reminiscences.
Our friend Rev. Mr. Bissell and his
wife, calling on Mrs. Terhune at the house
of General Taylor, to renew old friendship
were told by her that she well remembers
Mr. B's conducting family worship at
the house of her father, at Powhatan C.
H. in Virginia, when she was only four
years old. She recited the-passage read
by him and the comment which he made
upon it. Her father was a merchant
there, and afterwards in Richmond, his
name was Hawes. Her husband, Rev.
E. P. Terhune D. D. early preached in
Virginia, wlfere she married him. _He~
and Mr. B. both received invitations to the
pastorate of the same church in_ Rich-
mond (Third Presbyterian) which they
declined. Dr. Terhune was afterwards
pastor, for many years, of ‘ the First Be-
formed Duteh church In Newark, N. J.
There Mr. B. was their guest on Sunday, ‘
July 4, 1802; and they were rehearsing
old Virginia. reminiscences .during the
hours which the terrible battle of ,Bull
Run was fought. Dr. T. was afterward
pastor of a Congregational church, at
Springfield, Mass. as now at Brooklyn,
N. Y. Mr. B. recommends to any who
would like to get a just delineation of old
plantation life in the best families of
Virginia as it was half :a century ago,
when . he was conversant with it, and to
know the scenes connected with the
Southampton Insurrection, in 1882, the
perusal of “Marion Harland'sf’ Judith.
Mrs. T. left Norwslk on Saturday with
her husband to attend the 250th anniver:
sary of the church in Springfield, of which
he was pastor, as guests of the church.

Departure from Old Methods an Indica-
tion of Progress and Improvement.
—The question is often asked why it rs that
the firm of W. B. Hall Jr Co.‘ are enabled to'
maintain their enviable position as leaders in
the dry goods traffic. From among rnauy cor-
rect answers two may be cited: Bold yot 'udi-
eious advertising, and careful study 0 the
needs and catering to the wishes of the ladies,
without whose patronage success would be im-
poesible. To the first it must be conceded that
no firm in Connecticut are more painstaking
and diligent, or expend more actual cash than
at every business centre where reading people
congre ate, ma be seen continually the name
of W. B. Hall 00., and the multitudrnous
wares they have to offer. Thus through the
medium of printers’ ink, the employment of
which is warranted by the facts to which It re
lates, this firm in their line of specialties have
risen high, and among the people as well as the
shop era their name as become a household
wor . At all seasons of the year, but with
eflort specially exerted In autumn and spring,
this firm ransack markets, hold communion
with manufacturers. and maintain conferences
with jobbers and middlemen, and with all who
have textile productions to offer, in order to
keep replenished a stock comprrslng all. that
make a ry goods show complete. Relative to
the second it may be said that ladies
possessing costly, elegant dresses are like those
owning original paintings, there is s dehghtful
sensation experienced in the consciousness that
nobody for love or money can get anything like
them. Copies may a pear, but the originals
will stand alone in eir individual beauty.
Hence the lady who purchases the material for
a fine dress of Messrs. Hall, does so pretty
well assured in her own mind that some other
lady will find it difiicult to get one like it. To
the fair buyer this consciousness is worth more
than the price she pays. The chromo would
find a place in art circles, be praised and ad-
mired. were it not for the little fact that any-
body and everybody can have one also by the
expenditure of a mere pittance. To these two
answers should be added a third, the stock of
ood things hold in reserve by the Messrs.
Ball for their customers is always greater than
that laced in view. Visitors to the store now
will find that. while the front windows are re-
splendent with tastily arranged new goods, not
less choice and. beautiful than. a garden of
flowers all in bloom, they are simply samples
of a water stock on shelves and counters inside.
Only in a brief manner can this inner stock be
treated. A few features will serve to show the
ladies what is awaiting, their inspection. As
the street windows suggest, a beginnrng_ may
be made on satiues,eorresponding up roprlately
b their brightness and variety wrt t a first
blooms of spring. 0n the imported varieties,
and their name is legion, French artisans seem
to have spent a twelve-month of_ in onions
study in order to bring out novelties or the
season. There are several shades of brown
ran ing from seal to corn, bronze, shades of
dar and medium olive, many blues, two or
three shades of cardinal, several tints of_ cream,
wood color, light gray and drab, hehotrope,
and black and white. Of the latter there are
two distinct varieties. One rs pure white
ground with black figures, the other black
ground with white figures. The fayonte pat-
terns are palm leaves of various sizes, some
plain and clearly defined, others with wlacelrke
or fringed edge, There are also rstnkmg pat-
terns in vines, s rays and single clusters of
blossoms. The Different varieties of nations
may be counted among the hundreds. The
Messrs. Hall’s dis lay in this line 18 absolutely-
bewildering. In eeping with this line of new
dress goods may be mentiohed the parasol dis-
play, a view of which in a space speerally de-
voted to it on the Canon street side of the ready
made garment department, will convince that
there remains but little further use for mufflers
and other adjuncts of winter. The ladies wrll
observe this year one point in parasols of great
importance, the absence of metallic handles
which invariably soil, and indeed a 011 gloves,
and a substitution of handles in of manner of
fancy woods artistically wrought. An Intelli—
ent rummaging of the stock, which embraces
gully 1,000 examples, will show a tendency to
sizes larger than last year. This wrll be ac-
.cepted as an a roach nearer than ever to the
sensible as we as practical, for a parasol need
not be simply a toy. Among the erfect loves
as to material are satin trimme wrth loop
fringe, China silk. large size, satin coaching,
polka dot,slways genteel. Last year everybody
wanted the Mikado or Yum Yum because by Its
beauty it suggested the flowers that bloom, etc.,
tru la, but if the ladies will look closely among
this stock they may find an embroidered crepe
lisse in colored silk floss and whrte Saxony
wool which asks to be matched for beauty, but
finds no response. '
In the ready made garment department the
styles are all new, varied and elegant, and she
must indeed be difficult to please ’who cannot
select from this spring-’5 offerings Just what is
wanted. As there are as many forms as there are
buvers. it is not strange that new and then one
presents itself which is difficult to fit. . To meet
this class a new department has been Introduc-
ed. Attendants skilled in their line wart upon
it. and when a garment fails to set as the wearer
hoped, a piece is cut out or one inserted. and
by a few stitches the article becomes perfect
fitting. . .
Up stairs, in addition to the mantle making
department so po ular in the past. is a depart-
ment for dressma 'ing and orders for all man-
ner of work in that line are executed. The .fa-
cilities provided are on the liberal scale which
characterizes all things connected wrtlr . the
store. Added to the regular makes of silks,
both foreign and domestic, are examples in
new and desirable goods not hitherto offered rn
this market. Every line of silk is fuller than
in any former season. In the basement are
placed on view all manner of goods needed to
embellish house apartments. There are fifteen
styles of‘ chenille curtain studs for portrere
\vl-rk. There are Shelia, Vienna, Chenille and
‘ ’l‘urkoman curtains of mast elegant patterns.
In real lace the curtain varieties are fuller and
lnore numerous than hitherto. and the firm
take a just pride in showing to customers this
transcendently complete array. These are
Swiss, Brussels, Antrque, Cluuy, Colbert, Irrsh
Point, Beunaisance, Nottingham, French Gul-
uro, Madras, Sedan and Bombay stripe, each
perfect works of art, yet offered at very low
prices. China silks for curtains are remarkably
full. There are specialties in rugs so beautiful
in patterns and of such fine manufacture that
the visitor wonders how it is possible to offer
them at nearly one-half the ordinary price of
‘ such stock.
The upholstery corner is immense this year,
and abounds in specialties. Tables covers are
far spread as to the new exaurples embraced.
There are velour-s of_ many designs and all
charming;

take the trouble he may see closely piled about

nary dry goo s stores, and he cannot fail to
discern rvitbtflamfluy Proofs at hand that the
Messrs. Hall’s public declarations as to volume,
extent and variety of this spring’s purchases
are just as advertised. Ascending the stairway
to the main floor a re-survey of what Is there
on view may be profitable, for by the rule,
what one sees a second time is better tinder-
stood than the first. ‘-
Among the novelties in velvete and plush, a
clerl. calls attention'to wrde stripes made up of
small stripes, lines. and . rows of dots, small
blocks of'aalol'm: plush set.ih checkerboard
patterns, perfectly“ elegant. Lots of pumps.-~
dnur effects and colors are seen tripling new
silk fabrics. The examples in woolen dress
goods embrace several prominently elegant
figures. There are an a undance of plaids,
and these styles are to rule during the summer;
The visitor will notice an absence in lace stripes
and canvass efi'ects, showing that though these
are beautiful. fashion calls for something else
and the Messrs. Hall present those things
which more than compensate for the exchange.

almost dead. I sent for the doctor the
day I got Hall’s Catarrh'Cure, and I told
him that I would die any way, and that I
would try your medicine. I was very bad.
How I suffered for nine years. I could
hardly breathe at times. I saw Hall’s
Catarrh Cure advertised in. the papers and
commenced taking it. Iwould have been
under the ground today if it had not been
for that. , I have not had one bad spell of
coughin since. In breathing my head
feels we land I am well. _ It has done me
a thousand dollars'wortlr of good. There
are ten of my friends, on seeing what it
had done for me, taking it, and it is help-
ing them. I only'wish that every one who
has catarrh, asthma and a bad cough
could see me, so that I could tell them all
to take it. All that know me here know
how Ihave suffered. (I have been here
since 1858), and say to me that “I am so
glad that you found something that could
cure you.” Everyone says, “how much
better you look.” The doCtors say they'
are glad I found Hall’s Catarrh Cure as
they could not cure me. I cannot express
my gratitude to you' for the cod Hall’s
Catarrh Cure has done me. ' ou' can use

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 eot-
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 50 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 Norwalk
and South Norw‘alk, part of the
property is within the borough
limits, part Within the city lines, and
the remainder outside of both.
Easily accessible, affording a;

and of a large area of the ‘sun'ound-
ing country, well wooded, airy, free
from undesirable surroundings.
Building lots in this magnificent l‘o-
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'lots 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
portunity and affords unparalleled
attractions for everybody. Early
buyers will secure the best locations.
