To Be Sold.
The New York and Norwalk Steamboat
and Propeller line is to be sold, and several
public spirited citizens urge that the people
of Norwalk should own and manage this
important and profitable business themselves-
The line cleared about ten thousand dollars
last year and it is believed by competent
judges that even better results eculd be
secured by a local ownership and manage-
ment. -

Our New Hotel.
The borough meeting on Friday to vote
an exemption of taxes and the free use of
public water for the new hotel for a peri-
od of twenty years was sat down upon by
avote of three to one of those present.
'Senator Hill explained fully and fairly
the reasons why he and others felt
that it would be wise for the borough
to make such concessions for a new pub-
‘ lic house, to be at once an ornament and
benefit to the place. Mr. Moody and
others endeavored to show that such a
course would be an improper and unjust
discrimination and ought not to be done.
The amount involved is so small that it
cannot be of any serious account anyway.
Careful judges place the total of free
borough water and tax exemption at about
$150 per annum. But the principle in-
volved is of far greater consequence, as it
becomes ascrious question as to where
these lines of exemption should be drawn.
We behave the loss of anyone of Norwalk’s
reputable newspapers now using the pub-
lic water as a motive power would be far
more detrimental to our local interests
than either the erection, or destruction of
a new hotel after its erection, could be,
yet who- of our taxpayers would not scout
with derision an application of the pro-
prietors of these papers for free water and
exemption from municipal taxation?
The same might be said of our great fac-
tories, employing hundreds of operatives.
We may have peculiar views on this sub-
ject, but we believe that all property, of
whatever name or nature, that receives
the care and protection of our local gov-
ernment should be taxed with fair
and met equality. It is quite a no-
torious fact that this is not done
here in Norwalk. and probably assess-
ments of taxes are not any better or more
justly done in other towns. Ignorance,
favoritism and, worst of all, petty ill feel-
ing or downright malice have frequently
been known to bias and render conspicu-
ously unjust and unequal valuations of
different men’s properties in the minds of
assessors. We yield to no one in our
earnest desires for a good and modern
appointed and equipped hotel. Yet we
would rather see it fail than that a prac-
tice so unjust to every taxpayer should
come into common and frequent adoption.
Besides, we believe the hotel will pay a
fair income on its cost to its stockholders,
and we will, as many others will, subscribe
for more of its stock than it will be con-
venient to pay for, so earnestly do
we desire its erection, and so confident
are we of its being a good investment.
We think it would have been most un-
fortunate had the proposition been carried
at the borough meeting. The new hotel
enterprise to be a success should have the
hearty and cordial good feeling of every
citizen of our community. No citizen or
taxpayer is so poor, humble or uninfiuen-
tial that he cannot do such an institution
a “good turn,” and in some way or an-
other help to augment its revenues. We
believe that to have passed the resolutions
under consideration would have embittered
at least nine 'out of ten taxpaying and
water renting citizens of our borough,
even though their individual share of the
released burden might be infinitesimal.
The hotel enterprise should not be thus
handicapped, and we believe “the sober
second thought" of its promoters will lead
them to take this view of the question.
If this loss or tax of $150 per year be the
sine qua mm on which the success or
abandonment of the enterprise is to hinge,
we will join with Senator Hill in his
offer to pledge $25 per year as a sub-
stitution of this asked for and denied tax
exemption. Our citizens know full well
the growling and grumbling already and
at this time going on in the community
because the Masonic Temple has been ex-
empted from all taxation by an act of
the legislature. St. John’s Lodge is se-
verely criticised, as are all having had a
hand in the unjust act. The good name
of this very venerable and honor-
able Masonic institution is injured by it
far more than the few paltry dollars ex-
empted, can aid, though the lodge, as a
Masonic organization, had nothing to do
with either the erection of the building, or
the legislative action that for all time cx-
cmpts this stately edifice from taxation.
The lodge does not own a dollar in it.
Its erection was a personal enterprise,
creditable to all the parties who were in-
terested in its inception and completion,
and we have not the shadow of a doubt
but that it will prove a remunerativc in-
vestmerlt to its stockholders. That it
should have been exempted from taxation
is neither just or fortunate, in the candid
and not illiberal judgment of a vast ma-
jority of the citizens and taxpayers of
Norwalk. On the very same grounds
that exemption from taxation was asked
for this edifice our mills, factories and
banks, and, especially Seileck Bros’. and
other buildings in the borough, where
benevolent associations meet in- the upper
stories, should be exempt. “Equal and
exact justice to all," is the only safe rule for
taxation as well as for government.

Sunday’- Storm.
The severe thunder storm of last Sun-
day was attended with fatal results in this
region. Mr. Starr Kceler was out on the
harbor, near Dorlon's Point, in a sailboat,
and, while in the act of hoisting his sail.
was struck by lightning, being blinded
and dazed, and receiving injuries from
which he died is reported to have Monday
morning.
On the Darien road, at the house of Mr
George I. Keeler, a servant girl employed
in Mr. Keeler's family was found dead in
her bed after the storm. She had retired
a short time before, complaining of feel-
ing unwell, and it is thought she was
suffering from apoplcxy, which with the
wind, lightning and heavy thunder, caused
her death.
James Dillon’s house was struck by
liglitnirlg, and damaged to the extent of
about $150. Fortunately it was insured
through Wilson's agency against damage
by lightning.
The streets and sidewalks all over town
were flooded, and in some places the
walks were impassihle. The deep ditches,
which are being ring for the sewers, were
filled to the brim.
The heavy wind, which accompanied
the storm, siiapped off large trees, leveled
corn and other crops, and scattered fences
in promiscu ous confusion.

It Pays to Advertice.
Dr. Gregory lost a bunch of keys from
his pocket at short time since, and advcr-
tiscd for their return in the GAZETTE.
Our paper had not been out fifteen mimi-
res before that Prince of Good follows
John Camp, who always reads the GA-
ZETTE, saw the advertisement and ran
down to Gregory’s Drug store with the
keys. The Doctor will always be a firm
Iclicver in advertising after this.

Probate once Removed.
The public will be glad to learn that the
Probate office for the district of Norwalk
is being removed to the Masonic building,
and the Court of Burgesses will occupy
the vacated room in the Bank building.
This is a good move all around, [as the
Probate office needs two rooms, and in
Masonic Temple it can have this as well
as the largest and best vault in town.
A Warm Ride.
Editors Byington and Rodemcycr of the
Norwalk GAZETTE went up to Twin Lakes
Saturday. There they foil in With 001. E.
M. Graves, who is stopping up that way
with his family, and all three enjoyed a
broilin hot ride in the sun belund a calico
colore mustang about four feet high.—
Brz‘dgeport News.
And a memorable ride it was. Land-
lord Warner, of the Canaan Warner House
had let all his horses out for a funeral, ex-
cepting this little plaything of a pony,
Weighing just about as much as its owner,
but full of ambition and polka dot birth-
marks. As the grave and apprehensive
trio drove out of the hotel yard behind
this little variegated circus trickster, the
landlord shouted from the piazza: “She’ll
take you over those hills to Twin Lakes
just like a bird; all you’ll have to do wil
be to walk half way and get out and push
the other half," an assurance which be
supplemented in an undertone with the
remark that if that little mustang wasn't.
sorry she was ever lassoed, he’d lose his
guess.
It was a sultry day; every ray from the
sun shot down with a force that bored a
hole in the earth; the “humidity”
hovered in the atmosphere seeking whom
it might perspirc; cuffs wilted and col-
lars cht. But the little horse jogged
merrily along, neversweatinga hair. At
every hill the passengers dismounted and
at every swampy spot they carried horse,
buggy and all on their shoulders around
the pitfall. It wasa romantic journey,
but they “got there just the same,” in time
to join the Colonel's family circle around
the festive board at their delightful camp
on the edge of the beautiful lake. The
Colonel was a genial companion, but he
wasn‘t much of a driver, and couldn’t
catch any fish.

The United States in Account with
Connecticut-
Connecticut is credited on the rolls of the
War Department with having furnished-
during the war 55,864 men or reduced to a
three years’ standing with 50,923. There
are on the pension rolls the names of 5,914
residents of the State and they receive each
qriarter $49,050.38, or for a year $196,202..-
32. The largest number of pensioners in
any one county is in New Haven county
which has 1,139, and they draw as pension
money each quarter $11,454.55. Fairfield
county has 989 pensioners, amount received
each quarter $9,708.75. Hartford county
has 819 pensioners, quarterly payments,
$8,127,75; Litchficld county has 483 pen-
sioners, quarterly payments, $4,544.50;
Middlescx county has 222 pensioners, quar-

There are iii the State 21 survivors of the
war of 1812 who receive pensions. The
number of widows of the war of 1812 who
receive pensions is 238. The total number
of pension applications filed by Connecticut
soldiers or their legal representatives during
the year has been 561, and the number of
pensions allowed within the same period

Eat Before You Drink.
“A large proportion of intemperancc in
the use of stimulants," philosophized a
physician in a free lecture to the Buffalo
Ecpress, “may be laid to the light break-
fasts eaten by most people. Breakfast is
the most important meal of the day, and
sufficient importance is not attached to it
in the majority of households. After the
long fast enforced between supper or late
dinner and 7 or 8 ’o’clock ill the morning,
a person in good health should feel lnln-
gry; and it is at this hour of the day that
the lleartiest nieal may be eaten with the
least probability of bad results. The man
who starts out in the morning after having
eaten a hearty breakfast will seldom,
unless suffering from chronic indigestion,
experience any of the discomforts which
might follow a similar meal at any other
time of day. The chances are he will
also enjoy a happy frame of mind all day;
whatever may be his custom, he will find
himself with an excellent appetite. Eat-
ing creates appetite. The very opposite
results will follow the other course in this
matter, and the man who has not had a
good breakfast will not enjoy a good din-
ner. I have treated a good many cases of
habitual drunkenness, and iii a great many
of them I have found that the evil prac-
tice of tippling was begun to satisfy a
gnawing, faint sensation in the stomach in
the morning, which was nothing more or
less than disguised liuuger.—Bu1falo Ez-
press.

Railroad Notes.
Wall street has a rumor that the New
York and New England stock has changed .
hands to Such an extent since the last elec-
tion of officers that the road is under an all.
solutely different ownership. It is a fact...
to, that this stock has dropped several,
points within two weeks. This may be due
ill great measure to the feeling that'a large
amount of the stock is now carried simply by
speculators. The Wall street News says it is
held by brokers for speculative purposes.
Vice-President Shinn says the facts would.
not be known until the annual meeting.—
Nelbs. ‘
President Charles A. Clark of the Consol-
idated railroad has purchased the elegant
Aliderso usesidence, on Orange street, New
Haven, commonly known as the “palace” and
will remove his family thither from New-
ton, Mass, where he has resided several years.
The price paid for the Anderson property,
which fronts 100 feet on Orange street and
covers one quarter of a block, is said to be
340,000. Mr. Anderson is said to have in-
vested over $100,000 in the property. The
house is probably the finest in New Haven.

Anatomy for Schools.
Probably the best substitute for the mani-
kins in general use in medical schools and
colleges is “ Yaggy’s Anatomical Study,”
designed specially for common schools,
families and individuals. Every human
being is or ought to be interested in the
human anatomy. Health and life depend
on such knowledge, This unique work is
just what is needed, and we are glad to know
that our Connecticut schools are being so
universally supplied with it and that many
private parties have ordered copies. We
deem it one of the most interesting and
valuable acquisitions that can be made to
a public or private library.
W. H. H. Adams, President Illinois Wes-
leyail University, Bloomin ton, 111., says :———
"I have carefully examiner " Yaggy‘s An-
atomical Study." I have never seen any-
thing to equal it in the study of the human
body. To me, it seems a , rfcct representa-
tion, clear, concise, forcib e. Every school
should possess it, and every family, if pos-
sible. I have never been iilore please] with
a piece of school furniture.

Connecticut‘s Tobacco Crop.
The rise of 50 to 100 per cent. in the
price of western and southern leaf tobacco
ill the New York market during the pres-
ent month, with the end not yet in sight,
has had no effect on Connecticut tobacco
and will probably have none. Connecti-
cut is used for cigar wrappers, while .the
western and southern leaf is used for plug,
fine cut and smoking tobacco. It is barely
possible there may be a sympathetic rise
here, as there is sometimes ill oats when
wheat advances. but even this is not con-
sidered probable by old dealers ilcrcabout.
In fact, the outlook for prices is very dis.
conraging, as much so as it was last year.
There has, it is anticipated, been no
marked decrease in acreage of crop in the
Connecticut valley, notwithstanding ru-
mors to that end. There are no accurate
statistics, but from observation and in-
quiry the shortage, if there is any, will be
slight.—Hartfonl Post.

Letter From the Neptunes.
EDITOR GAZETTE z—Our vessel—still the
Jacob I. Housman—arrived at Mcckcr’s
dock on Saturday evening, July 10, and
was ready to be pill in order on Monday
morning. The purpose of having her lie
at dock over Sunday was that she might
be under the bellcficcnt influence of the
chaplain during the day of rest, as the
dock is in the rear of his back yard.
On Wednesday all was prepared and
the members began to arrive in the early
morning, heralded by the Commodore,
who must have left New York before Nor-
walk people were out of bed, to ”reach
there as aoaunt com-fer, of his devoted
crew. So, like a true commander. is our
Commodore ever leading his nicil, and
they are far from slow.
Our vessel, which was to be our home
and assurance of safety for the coming
fortnight, was all put in first-class condi-
tion for the cruise. The imperfect sails
and ropes had been replaced by new rig-
ging; she had becn'gaily painted and
cleaned throughout, and twenty-five tons
of ballast was in her, over againstsevcn
tons last year. What now feared We'from
stoma, and winds, and waves? *
At one o‘clock we assembled on board
and were prepared for our muster. The
nobby new caps that had arrived gave yet
a more nautical style to our whole crew ;
new men were introduced to the veteran
yachtsmen, and told to feel at home, and
wives and daughters joined in thc merry
chat that preceded the farewell, winch
was not to be sad, since the cruise was to
befor health and strength to work the
better. The following is the call:

The same miniature tug, “Adeline,"
that we had last year, towed 'us down the
channel to Dorlon’s, where we stopped at
the pier to allow the ladies who .had ac-
companied us thus far, to go ashore, and
we put out to sea. The only tragedy thus
for had been in a metaphorical putting out
of the eyes of Mr. Nash, an old “Nep.,”
in the losing of his nose-glasses as he
sprang ashore at Dorlon’s. Those hand-
some glasses are, maybe, being 'worn by
some goggle-eyed “tuning" who is seeing
new beauties in his views of semrious na—
ture. 7
We cut off our petite tow~boat and
hoisted sails at about 4 o'clock, and with a
wind SSW. were fairly afloat on the broad,
blue sea. '
The evening was superb, so long as we
were on deck. The moon shone brightly
in the heavens and was reflected in the
calm sea, white glittering stars formed a
brilliant retinue to the queen of the night
as she was cnthroned on high. But the
wind died down till there was scarcely a
breath to fan our checks and cool our
bodies, heated by so long a turn of torrid
weather through which we had pushed on
labor frl more and more languid manner.
In the absence of our Vice Commodore,
Lester, and Gunner Jaqul, elections were
had as given in the roll above, and it was
determined that the night should be no-
disturbed by any rollicking (as was the
custom in olden time) and that tired and
heated men silould'slcep and rest, But
alas for human hopes or plans. For the
first time ill the memory of the oldest
Neptune, the between-decks was hot.
There was no air stirring anyhow, and
the hatches that supply cooling breezes to
the berth-deck had not been opened to the
all-pervading sea air. Few could sleep
and soon the decks were alive with men
in all manner of airy costumes and
assuming all manner of postures for naps
or chats under the sky. The great palace
boats passed as in both directions, making
glittering panoramas of beauty; the phos-
phorescent flashes of the sea answered to
the stars, and coruscations of wit were
echoed by-songs and choruses from shaft
the cabin where the sweet tenor and fal-
sctto of Dr. Baldwin, Smith, Many, Mead,
and the deep 0m arr-Hymnal: Knapp
led the chorus of all the rest who sing.
The chaplain gathered coolness for fresh
onslaughts on his people, and the log went
to bed at 3 o’clock ill the morning to fitfnl
slumber that was moist and melting.
The hours for the cruise were’ arranged
as follows:
Breakfast, 7 o‘clock.
Dinner, 12 O’clock.
Prayers, 5:80 o'clock.
Supper 6 o‘clock.
Our (lay closed ill with the usual service
of song, scripture and prayer, conducted
by the chaplain, and all felt the safer and
the better after invokingth‘e protection of
the Great Father against harm to body, or
mind, or spirit. .
The chaplain received somechoicc crea-
ture comforts for the cruise from valued
friends, and among them Father Slocum
and Major Holmes; but he generously
and kindly gave them all to thelog. These
are hilt tokens of many marks of love and
forethought on the part of wives, sisters
and daughters, shown in the decoration of
nearly all the bunks.
Thursday Morning—The morning is as
clear and bright ns‘hos been the night and
the wind is still being whistled for. The
log ran with a persistent sameness even
after a little wind started, while the tide
turned against us. ' .
6 o’clock—Off New “mom!
8 if H (I '
10 If
11 o'clock—Just passed Portage Island,
12 miles from New Haven. We have held
against the tide, that is all, and when it
turns, when we can float faster than this.
But who cares? We are at sea, and if we
make no headway cast, we are sailing and
are happy. . , ' l . g 2 ~
2:45 p. nl.——We sec coming the ripple of
a south wind and that yachts toward Long
Island are just hecling over to it. Our
soils are adjusted to meet it. It comes!
Our sails fill out: We are laying our
course to the east, really for the first since
11 o’clock last night. . Since then we have
nut reached 15 miles beyond New Haven,
but hope is dawning, We see in the blue
sky the suggestion of blue fish ; we see in
the tautencd sails and 'rope; the appear-
ance of tautog when we get off the mouth
of Brizzard's Bay and between the Hon
and Chickens and the Lightship. ‘ The
whole crew look forward to Block Island,
when we shall be able to fish, and'cspeci-
ally Mr. Edward Bisscll, whose eyes
brighten alike at thought of blue fish or
cod, and the log that, escaping the criti.
cism of the too particular chaplain, he
may sendto the GAzn'r'rn the first letter
from the Neptune Club.
Friday Morning, 5:30 o'clock.—~Wc are
laying off and on before Block Island, and
are trying with imperfect wind to get into
the harbor formed by the poor little
breakwater of which the government
should be ashamed.

to score a record, was as follows:
4 o'clock. Horton’s Point.

Wilburton-by-the—Sea.
SPRING LAxn, N. J., July 24, ’87.
EDITORS GAza'I'rn :—Many of your road-
era are familiar with the New Jersey coast
from Sandy Hook down to Asbury Park
and Ocean Grove, including Navesink,
the Shrewsbcrry river, Atlantic Highlands,
Scabrigllt, Monnloth Beach, Long Branch,
West End, Elberon, etc. But, perhaps,
few comparatively have traversed “the
regions beyond,” of which a few words
may be acceptable and useful to some
seekers of health and pleasure. Two of
your townspeople came here a week ago,
and cheerfully impart what they have
seen and enjoyed. Coming down the
coast one passes Key East, where
is a fine hotel and the beginning of a
settlement at the mouth of the Shark
river—so named, perhaps, because a shark
could easily swim in it—luous anon luoendo,
as the school boys say. Crossing a bridge
one soon comes to Ocean Beach, where is
quite a villagewith a row of large hotels
and boarding houses fronting and border-
ing on the sca.’ Next is Como, with its
neat cottages, having no hotel, close to
Life Saving Station No. 8, and near by is'
Wilburton-by-the-Sea, the northernmost of
a number of hotels and boarding houses,
inter.per'scd with a few fine cottages and
new and beautiful village of Spring Lake,
so called from along and narrow sheet of
water, whose banks are lined and shaded
by trees, and on which young ladies, and
their beaux exhibit or acquire skill in
rowing and athletics, or calisthenics of
the marine style. Spring Lake has a new
and beautiful Presbyterian "Meeting
House," as we church friends speak, in
which we worshipped with alarge, intelli-
gent, orderly and devout congregation, as
might have been expected. Bishop Scar-
borough was doing service at the same
hour in the Episcopal church, no doubt to
a cultured and refined congregation,
which we did not see. Below Spring Lake
is Sea Girt with its aristocratic hotel
perched over the sea, the germ of which
was the summer seat and resort of Com-
modorc Stockton, of Princeton, to which
he used to bring down his friends for
recreation in his coach drawn by four
steeds. Sea Girt is attractive and expen-
sive. Below it is the camping ground of
the New Jersey troops, answering to our
Niantic, and thence we pass: through the
old and pretty town of Nanisquam to the
pretty settlement of Bridle, where our
coasting ended, a beautiful drive with
kind friends.
A word now for Wilburtorr-by-tthea,
a hotel capable of accommodating some
250 guests. It has seldom‘ been our good
fortune to find a better one, so well kept
by a quiet, dignified, pleasant lady and
her two daughters. Most attractive and
satisfactory is it in all its appointments
and entertainment for guests, vcry home-
like, the resort of genteel, quiet, sensible
people, social and agreeable. Whoever
seeks good quarters, good treatment,
good food and good bathing, let him come
hither. s. 13. s. :3.

criminal assault on a Bristol girl. He
went outside the prison walls Saturday
