The mortality here in Norwalk during
July has been exceeding small. In Stam-
ford the deailis of children alone aggre-
gated fifty-two. We do not think the
death rate here has been so small in any
month of the year as the hot month of
July. which is something extraordinary.

The meeting held to consider the quts-
tion of a purchase of the steamboat line

as an opinion could be gathered, there
was a willingness on the part of some to

seemed to want to invest in the City cf
Albany. « ' .

Although Contractor Cram has been
greatly bothered in getting suitable ma-
sons to lay the sewer brick work—it re-
quiring a special experience to do it well

driving-his work ahead with encouraging
celeriiy.

The good wishes of genial Fritz are
duly appreciated, and, if he will allow us

The questio‘u is frequently asked
why the sewers on the east side of the
bridge and top'of Mill Hill are not run
down and 'out near the Meeker deck. The
engineers explain that it would cost far
more to pile drive this line and the foun-
uations would be farless secure, than by
running the same across the bridge as at
present contemplated.

Honest and faithful George Ayres, who
dispenses oysters and clams in front of
Merrill’s store, showed us some clams
Saturday which be estimated to be twelve
years old. They were as large as ten
plates. When asked to whom he sold
such tough locking customers, he said
generally to up country people, who chop
them fine and prize them highly for their
strong and vigorous clam flavor. “The
taste of such a clam wouldn’t get out of
your mouth in a mouth," quoth Ayres.
Young Charley McLean was sentenced
in New York on Friday to the Elmira
Reformatory for two years, the judge be—
ing satisfied that he was mentally un-
sound. His pareuts here have done ev-
erything possible to restrain the evil
tendencies of their son, because they
knew of his unbalanced mind, caused, the
father, Dr. McLean, assures us, by the
excessive use of cigarettes. He had be-
come a slave to the vile and destructive
habit of cigarette smoking when he was
but a child, and it rained life and charac-
ter are the sad results. His parents have
universal sympathy, because it is well
known that they have exerted every pos-
sible influence for his reformation and
restoration, but without avail. The story
that he had been driven from home is
utterly untrue.

about three weeks ago, failed to make its
appearance last week. Howover, they
say it will probably appear again this

keep coming.

In the race of the yachts from New
London to Newport Thursday, and in the
race Friday for the Goelet cup, the Volun-
teer proved herself superior to the fa-
mous raceing sloops Mayflower, Puritan,
Atlantic, and Priscilla. Friday's course
was about 45 miles, and the Volunteer
led the Mayflower at the finish 8 minutes,
42seconds. This isa pretty large lead
over asloop which was the winner last
'year against one of the best cutters in
England, in the America’s cup race.
We have been shown this week some
interesting old newspapersiu the possession
of Mr. Edgar Willett—a Norwalk GAZETTE
of Nov. 29, 1820; Ulster County (N. Y.)

——One of Reed Haviland's stores will be

begun to span on the deep watery beds,
and in some localities the shells are
pretty well covered with spat. When the
spot first sets the little oysters cannot be
distinguished from winkles and other
small shell-fish enemies to the oyster.
Should a heavy storm set in before the
oysters have done setting, considerable
damage would undoubtedly be done. A
storm last year wasinstanced as one cause
for a poor set.——Onc da this week
Ollicer Colgrove arrested arney Mc-
Govern, on employee at the Lock factory,
for an assault on James Cunningliam,a
fellow employee. It seems that Cunning.
ham did a job of painting for McGovern
for which he claimed he had not been ful-
ly paid. He asked McGovern for the bal-
ance, and was put off or refused. He
then supplemented the request with the
remark, “I suppose if I get it then I will
have to do as other men have done,
factorizo.” This maddened McGovern,
and, as we hear it, he struck Cunnin burn
a blow in the face, and, thinking the attcr
was about to show a disposition to defend
himself, followed the first blow up
with a knock-down. and several more
blows. The hearing, before a 'ustice, was
adjourned until Saturday. hen Presi-

The Boston express, Friday morning,
struck and killed an unknown man a
short distance west of the Fairfield depot.
He stood on the up track watching the
approach of a west-bound train and did
not see the .express. The engineer did
not discover him in time to stop. He

that five times its cost could be saved
every year in ordinary families by relying
on the information it gives. It is of mod-
ern preparation and issue, so that all new,
forms of disease are practically treated and
proper remedies designated. There can
be no question as to its very great value
and it needs only to be seen to be appreci-

' The Longest Beard. '
The New York Worhi having claimed
that Philip Hensen, of Corinth, Miss, is
the possessor of the longest heard in the
world, he being six ‘feet two inches tall,
and his beard touching the ground when
he is standing erect, the New LOndon cor-
respondent of the Norwich Bulletin asserts
that Connecticut is the banner state on
beards. He says:—
A gentleman in this city can beat the
beard mentioned in the above item by sev-
eral inches. He is a man who stands
about five feet eight inches in his stock-
ings. When he is standing straight his
beard . will reach the floor and extend out
from his feet twenty inches or more, which
makes his heard about six feet eightinches
in length, and is believed to be the longest
heard in the world.

GRE’ ENS FARMS.
That cool wave that we we have been
looking for has come, audis a great relief.
A daughter of the late Rev. E. L. Wells,
about 14 years old, died last Sunday of
dysentery.
Mrs. Lees, who has been sick so long. as
noted last week, is still very low and there
is less hope of her recovery.
The blast on the onions is very bad in
many cases and is quite general. The crop
will be small where they are so badly
blasted.
About twenty-five of the young people had
ajolly old sailing party Thursday. They
sailed pretty much all over the Sound, then
ran into Bridgeport and took dinner, which
the young ladies of the party had amply
provided for. | "
That mill pondcase, about which. a com-
munication was printed in the Gazette last
week, seems to excite general interest in
this part of the town. We don’t see what
industry the town is driving away by its
action in the matter, and can see no great
crime in the effort of the town to preserve
the common rights enjoyed beyond the
memory of any one now living. '

The dissolving lantern exhibition by Mr.
C. J. Jennings, in behalf of the Q. F., came
off Wednesday at the Congregational church
as was expected. The attendance was good-
>le exhibit was elegant and highly sailor
factory. All present were delighted. The
people feel greatly obliged to Mr. Jennings
for giving them this opportunity to view
some of the ~most beautiful pictures and
views in an exceedingly beautiful represen-
tation.

the pond in front will soon be a thing of
the past.
Miss Jessie Keller will not look through

Post Office, as she is enjoying a two weeks’
vacation.
It is said, unfortunately we cannot say
from personal knowledge, that Mr. Barr
Meekcr's peach orchard presents a beautiful
appearance. the trees being in a meat thrifty
condition.
The work Of removing the old draw pier,
and of rip-rapping the new one progresses
very siowlyand will not add to the beauty
of the new pier. It looks like trimming a
silk dress with calico.
A union service was held at the Methodist

Mr. Tattle preached the sermon. A similar
service will be held at the Congregational

On Wednesday morning the horse at-
tached to Sturges’ milk wagon started from
in front of Condon’s saloon and ran up Main
street to the Methodist church, where it
turned the corner to the left. A man com-
ing up the hill, near the residence of Mr.
Theodore Keeler, turned the animal to one
side and he jumped over Mr Keeler's fence,
throwing himself and demolishing a con-
siderable portion of the fence.
The case of the tov'm against the occupier

fore Justiee Finch on Saturday. Curtis
Thompson, Esq. appeared for the town,
and M. W. Wilson for the defence. After
the town had put in its testimony the case
was’rested’, there being no testimony intro-
duced by the opposite side, it evidently
being their intention toappeal. The Judge
reserved his decision until Tuesday.
A few days ago we paid a visit to the
establishment of the Sangatuck Iron Works,
where we found one of the proprietors in
the handsome office which has recently
been built. Among the improvements now
going on is a dock about. one hundred feet
.long which is partially completed. Two
new japanning ovens have recently been
built and it is proposed to erect, during the
fall, a large brick building where all of that
work will bedone. The firm'has recently
gotten up a new fireplace basket of handsome
pattern and finish, one of which was .on ex-
hibition in the office.

urday morning. In response to a 'tcle-
graphic invitation. the Christian commis-
sion and the chaplains during the day
visited Mrs. Gen. Grant at Elberon. Gen.
Clinton B. Fisk received the visitors and
presented them to Mrs. Grant. Afters
pleasant hour spent on the grounds, the
party assembled in the parlor, where Gen.
Fisk, addressing Mrs. Grant, alluded to
the presence of the southerners and said:
“When Gen. Grant shook hands with Gen.
Lee at Anpomatox the nation was re-
united.” Dr. Jones spoke of the sympathy
felt forGeu.Grant and his family during his
illness. Grant’s generosity at 'Appomattox,
he said, had won the hearts 'of
the southern people. The company
then joined in singing “Blest be the
tie that binds,” after which Bishop Filiows
pronounced the benediction. The pleas-
ure of the occasion was enhanced by
the presence of George W. Childs and
Mrs. Fred Grant and her children.

woman aged 45. About ayear ago the
woman was in poor health and
very melancholy, and in hopes of benefit-
ing her health, she returned to her native
country. Having regained her health she
wrote to Mrs. Eaton that she should like
to return to her place in that lady's em-
ploy, which she did about four months
ago. Sunday morning she was missed.
Asearch was instituted, and she finally
was found in Tyron brook, where she
