It is said Rev. Dr. Anderson “brought
down the house,” in his address to the
assembled hosts of Grand Army boys at
New Haven last week, wherein he de-
nounced the President’s lame and impo-
tent and unpatriotic attempt to return the
captured rebel flags. The President has
backed out of his enterprise in a most
lame and clumsy way; but the injury his
super-serviciablc zeal has caused his party
is hardly to be estimated.

Miss Mary Ircnc Hoyt, “got nervous’
and wild again last week and made things
so lively that the poor half crazed thing,
was sent to- jail. Her honored father
knew her peculiarities better than those
who have overflowcd wilh'simpathy for

Irene contested. Mr. Iont left to Mary

The third state Bund Sangcrfest began

The great prize concert took place Mou-
day evening at City hall, followed by a
ball at the armory.
The Boston Advertiser reflects, we ht.-
licve, the decent sentiment of the country
in saying it would be better to destroy the
flags than to return them, and thc Wor-
cester Spy says :—
Thc flags in question were taken from
those armed insurgents, not from the
states or from anybody rightfully repre-
senting them; There are no insurgents
now to whom the flags could be sur-
rendered, and if there were the surrender
would not be thought of. To give them
to the states would be to recognize the
theory of secession, which was supposed
to have been finally refuted and put at rest
forever by the events of twenty-two years
ago.
The Norwalk correspondent of the fur-
niture trade organ, the name of which we
have forgotten, says the town is too con-
servative-too conservative in fact. He
says: "Why, said the wise men of Nor-
walk, if ' a court house is built, famous
men will come here to argue cases. The
young will be attracted to hear them
speak, and thus habits of thrift and in-
dustry will be neglected. So Jacob Ktefer,
of Bridgeport, sgld the land on which his
hospitable mansion stood to the county,
and moved his house to the rear of his
land, and thus Bridgeport bencfitted by
the wisdom of Norwalk. When the Nauy
gatuck railroad was projected, Norwalk
was given a chance, but gave a cold
shoulder to the enterprise. Bridgeport, it
is said, owes much to the wisdom of Nor-
walk.”
The marriage of Miss Emma L. Bouton,
to Mr. James A. Wheeler, of Weston,
was solemnizcd, Wednesday at the resi-
dence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Bouton, by Rev. Edward Anderson,
in the presence of a large company of in-
vited guests, including many from out of
town. The bride was tastefully attired in
cream satin, out on tram, with low neck
and short sleeves, and wore a' necklace of
pearls. The room was profusely decorated
with flowers and plants. During the im-
pressive marriage ceremony the bridal
pair stood beneath a bell of roses. Miss
Minnie Fritz was maid of honor, and
William T. Haviland, of Bridgeport, was
best man. A reception followed the mar-
riage, and a bountiful feast was spread.
The bride and groom took the midnight
Washington express for a wedding tour,
to be gone about a week. They will make
their future home in Weston.
We publish this wedding report by
request:
The house of Mr. John C. Worden,
Main street, was a scene of unusual merri-
ment on last Wednesday evening, where
about eighty guests assembled to see two
hearts made tobeat as one by the perform.
once of a marriage ceremony by Rev. Dr.
Clark, pastor of the M. E. church, which
made his daughter, Susie E. Worden and
Charles A. Platt man and wife, Miss
Lenna Merritt acted as maid of honor, and
Jonas D. Worden, brother of the bride, as
best man. After the usual congratulations
were expressed the nest repaired to tea
where justice was one to the rich and
luxurious good things 'which had been
prepared for the occasion. A very large
and handsome collection of presents were
received by the young couple, consisting
of various articles of glass and sivcr. ware,
table linens, bedding, a large pictorial
bible and cash donations. After making
merry until avery late hour the guests
departed leaving the newly married couple

—Messrs. W. B. Hall & 00., of Bridge-
port, having had the most successful sea-
son since the commencement of their
business, now offer the balance of their
spring wraps, jerseys, morning wrappers,
suits, silks and dress grood at reduced
rates. They also ask special mention of
three large purchases of Swiss Muslins,
Scotch Ginghams and French Satecns.
This House has a wide reputation for
special lots of goods under price and it is
a household saying in Bridgeport, “If
you want a bargain go to Halls.” We
copy from Bridgeport Standard of the 16th
regarding the cloak sale. “The marvelous
bargains which Messrs. W. B. Hall& 00.
are giving in ladics’ wraps, jackets, jerseys
and gossamer cloaks, seems to keep their
large cloak rooms more crowded than
ever, but as ladies can approach the bar-
gains . either by the main aisle or the
Cannon street aisle, the vast crowd pass
and repsss without any inconvenience.
The travelers samples of silk goods which
are being sold on tables near the regular
silk counter attract almost as many people
as the wraps and shawls, and an excellent
opportunity is offered to mothers to pur-
chase velvcts and silks for their children
or parts of combination suits for them-
selves at a merely nominal price. Parties
furnishing summer cottages or even their
city homes would be interested in several
lots of curtains now being displayed in
the basement rooms of W. B. Hall do Co.

Judge John Fitch, of New York, a
lineal descendant of our old Colonial
Governor Fitch, (whose dust lies sepul-
chred in the East Norwalk ccmetery),,was
in town last week for the first time in
twenty years. He was much delighted at
the greatly improved condition of that
cemetery to what it was 20 years-ago, when
he, at his own expense, had several fallen
grave stones, including that of his ances-
tor, Governor Fitch, resct, clm trees put
out, the fence repaired and the grounds
cleaned up. Now these grounds looked
to him as if East Norwalk was inhabited
by a civilized race of beings. After looking
over the disgraceful condition of the Town
House Hill burying ground, he regretted
he could not say as much for us residents
here in the borough. The judge is also a
descendant of the first successful steam-
boat builder of the world,’John, Fitch,
and the man who taught Fulton how to
build a steamboat long years after his
boat had proved to be a success. Thc
judge has left us notes enough of the
ancient colonial and revolutionary history
of Norwalk, and biographical 'sketches of
the old and honored Fitch and other fam-
ilics of Norwalk, to fill many columns of
the Gazms, and which will appear as-
soon as we can find time and space to
utilize the same. The judge, though on
the western slope of life’s' hillside, is yet
hale and hearty and as vigorous in mind
and body as a youth of twenty—five. The
retention of much of this mental and
physical vigor to so late a period in life
he attributes to good habits, and his never
having had a wife to worry and vex and
cloud his sunny hours. “The horrid old
bachelor,” as Mrs. Toots would say.

A Recherche Reception.
The formal reception given Wednesday
evening byMr. and Mrs. Frederick Beldcn
and their accomplished daughters, Mrs.
Lizzie Jelferay and Miss Etta Beldcn, at
their delightful residence on East avenue,
was a notable affair. Three hundred in-
vitations had been issued, nearly all of
which were responded to. The assem-
blagc was a large and brilliant one and
embraced the elite of Norwalk society,
with many distinguished guests from out
of town.
There were many rich and elegant
costumes, and diamonds were predomi-
nant; among the jewels that adorned the
guests. The spacious rooms of the pain.
tial residence were most elaborately and
profusely decorated with rare flowers,
palms and ferns,-azalias predominating.
The famous Bridgeport banjo club dis-
coursed entrancing music during the re-
ception and the hop which followed, the
musicians being stationed in the side par-
lor and hidden by a profusion of flowers
and palms. _
The guests were received in the parlor
by Mr. and Mrs.-Bclden, Mrs. B. wearing
an elegant light brown, brocadcd costume,
cut on train. The dining table was pre-
sided over with charming grace by Mrs.
Jelfcray and Miss Beldcn, Mrs. Jefferay
being costumed in light blue silk and
moire with diamond ornaments, and Miss
Beldcn in rich heliotrope, with diamonds.
The lunch was an elegant and elaborate
affair gotten up by awell known New
York caterer. ~
The reception lasted from 6 till 9, after
which hour the younger of the guests in-
dulged in a season of dancing which con-
tinued until about 12 o’clock, when they
departed with kind wishes to Mr. and
Mrs. Beldcn and their charming daughters
and with pleasant memories of one of the
most enjoyable social events ever given on
East avenue. .
Mrs. Dr. Mosman of New York city,
sister of Mrs. Beldcn,‘was present, and
warmly greeted her many friends. The
reception was made incidentally the oc-
casion of celebrating the sixth anniversary
of the marriage of Mr. Charles J. Hill,
brother of Mrs.. Beldcn, and the 19th
wedding anniversary of Hon. E. J. Hill,
a coincidence which added not a little to
the interest of the fclicitous affair.—

Mr. Alfred Knapp seems to’ be the fav-
orite with the ladies, having received a
beautiful picture from DcKlyn’s bakery,

many beautiful things. ‘
So little interest has been taken of late
in the affairs of the Graniteville chapel,
that it is hardly remembered who are the
officers or society committee. It is feared
by many who spent time and money to
help build it, that this neglect will cause
the loss of the property, as it reverts to
the former owner of the grounds in case
the building is used for any other than
church purposes.
