Mr. R. W. Keeler announces that he will dispose of his business in North Wil— ton at a reasonable figure.

Kervan,‘ of Norwalk, Florida, an old soldier of tthiftIi Conn. Vols, and who was for several years after the war an cmploye of the Beatty Bios’. straw but works here. called on us yesterday. This is his first visit to old Norwalk for several years, and he'was delighted to note the changes and growth of our town the past dozen years. He it was who‘found- ed and named the new and thriving town of Nor-walk on the west shore of the St. John’s river, and about one hundred miles south of Jacksonville. The shore along Bantam lake near Waterbury has long been famous for the Indian spear heads and other instruments found. These have been so numerous that antiquarians are led to believe battles were fought there, and have been puzzled that no graves had been revealed. Last week several workmen while digging came across several bones of men mingled with some rare Indian weapons. They , had been'buricd in a sitting position. One grave revealed . an unusually large collec- tion, and was probably that of a Chieftain. The weapons showed no sign of use. ' Tax Collector St. John has returned. He left next morning after his election, while the air was filled with the lamenta- tions of the wounded and slaughtered, and his mysterious absccnce for so long a period is only to be accounted for on the conjecture that these frosty nights have turned his mind to a contemplation of the ‘duty he owes his country and posterity,— a duty so long neglected—and that he has become interested in some piece of bro- cade orcalico, at or near Saratoga Springs. all the same. Mr. C. P. Huntington, and family, and a few friends, passed through South Nor— walk in a private Pullman cur last Thurs- day on rout'c to Harwintou, Mr. H’s native town. The occasion was the dedi- cation of a pretty chapel crectctl by him and given the Congregational church and society of Barwinton, in memory of his deceased mother. Mr. H. writes us from New York, “I work on a treadmill a good many hours every day here, and occasion- ally I have to take a trip to Harwinton to convince myself that there is somewhere in the world, a place of absolute rcpose.’ He probably has never visited upper ' Wil- ton. The chapel is said to have cost the railroad magnate over $60,000. The tombstone of a man who was shot while gunning near Sotners, 001111., in 1789, bears these lines : All you that hunt in verdant wood With firearm your game to kill, Be careful when you fire your piece Lest your partner’s blood do spill.

Raymond. Mr. F. E. Readman, who has been sick at his sister’s in New York for nearly a month, returned to Norwalk Monday greatly improved in health. The. post oflicc safe in George Ford‘s store at Watcrville and the Naugatuck railroad safe were blown open Friday night. About $300 in money and postage stamps was taken. Two iucn who tried to sell a horse there the same day are suspected; they have been traced to Tcrryvillc. Gas monopoly has become a crying issue at Chicago and Louisville. The former has a “trust" and claims to be strangled by it, while the Courier—Jozu'n-al of Louisvillcrcasons that if the smallest city in Kentucky obtains its gas at 5OCcnts per thousand feet, Louisville ought not to be compelled to pay $1.50. The news- papers of Chicago are leading in a strong fight against the trust which forcbodcs its overthrow, and perhaps the future control of the gas supply by the city. Builder S. B. Wilson has probably thrown the old Fairficld Co. Agl., Society into bankruptcy. He has attached all the funds in the hands of its treasurer to pay a note of nearly a $1,000 which was given him by the society and which, after carry- ing two years, was allowed to go to protest last week. This prevents Trees-- ui'ci' Curtis from paying any of the premi- ums or debts against the society and is likely to result in a foreclosure on their grounds and a general smash-up, unless its-friends come to its immediate rescue. Jake Brown, the Bridgeport .wife mur— derer has experienced religion and passes the greater portion of his time in reading the Bible and chanting gospel hymns. Brown is confident of the State accepting a plea of murder in the second degree, preferring, as he terms it, “of becoming a guest of the State during the remainder of his life in preference of being the chief actor in a necktie party.” To all appear- ances he is the most unconcerned and con- tented prisoner iu the jail, but woe be to the poor unfortunatc who is foolhardy enough to express an opinion that he will be hung, for then Jacob’s "color” mounts to its highest notch, and forgetting his religion goes right back to the old “cuss” words again. ——Wc would call attention to the new' advertisement in to-day’s GAZETTE of the long established and far-famed S.

The extension of the cotton manufac— turing industry in India in the past few years has been remarkably rapid, as shown in the annual report of the Bombay Mill— owncrs’ Association, which presents some very interesting facts and figures. The report fer the year ending June 30, 1881, showed the number of mills to be 57 ; the last report gives 103 as the number. In 1881 there were 1,513,096 spindles; in 1887, 1,421,290. In 1881 the number of looms was given as 13,707; in 1887, 18,536. In the past six years the number of hands employed daily has increased from 46,430 to 76,942 and the approximate amount of cotton consumed annually frmn 378,989 bales to‘ 626,276. The number of mills and spindles hasnot only rapidly increased, but the producing power per spindle has undergone a rapid improvement. In this great extension of cotton manufac- turing may undoubtedly be found the cause of the-decline of England’s exports to India. . ' I I '.

The above is an unjust imputation On our new “noble Roman“ population. Norwalk and our neighbouring towns have been cursed for several years with a gang-of sneak thieves of the meanest sort. They evidently are one and the, same gang, whether robbing cellars anti lien roosts in \Vestport, Wilton or Nor- walk, and go in force for, the trans- portation of their plunder. It is to be hoped that the miscreants mav either be arrested or shot down in some of their mean burglaries. Of late our own town has received more than its due share of the attention of these disagreeable mis- creants; and our police and people should watch them with increased vigilance. Last week they entered the cellars of Geo. W. Sclleck on. Merwin street and Mr. Pomcry on Academy street, but the spolia- tion of our friend Camp's cellar was cspc; cially disheartening. He had laid in a full basket of Piper Heidsick pints, to sustain life with over the coming Thanks- giving and Christmas and New Year holi- days, the cover of the willow basket had not even been lifted when the thieves swept it with all his other carefully stored creature comforts out of his cellar. Camp stands ready to go another basket on the head of every one of the scamps who is captured. Ridgefield Press :————Govei‘nor P. C. Lounsbury was called to Macon, Ga., _ week.——Mr. John W.

The men were almost buried beneath the debris. and stood chin deep in the water until they were cxtricated. None of them were seriously injured. Senator Hill visited Albany last Wed- nesday, but remembering with a thrill of horror the terrible experience he had with bedbugs on the occasion of his previous visit, he didn’t stay over night, but travel- cd nearly 100 miles to Springfield to find a bedroom in which he had perfect confi- deuce. A vestry meeting was held in St. Paul’s parish rooms Tuesday afternoon to con- sult with reference to co-operating with the Rev. C. M. Sclleck in meeting the ex- pense of publishing his interesting and valuable church history. The only busi- ness done was the appointing of a com- mittee to confer with Mi”. Sclleck on the subject. . Wednesday morning Mr. Alonzo Nick- crson, the popular carpenter, came walk- ing briskly down Main street with a table on his head, legs down. _ In passing a lamp post near High street. the legs of the table struck against it, violently knocking Mr. Njckcrson down. He fell against Sclleck Brothers’ stone curbing and struck his head against the iron hatchway door, which was ~cpen‘ and standing upright, inflicting an ugly scalp wound, which was plastered up by a doctor. Rev. Charles H. Read, D. D., a native of Bedding (which is said to have received its name, properly Reading, because of his ancestors), who has been pastor of the Grace street Presbyterian church, in Rich- mond, Va., for 38 years, has recently rc- signed his pastorate, by reason of physical infirmity, and has been unanimously elected pastor emeritus, with a stipend for life. The Richmond papers pay high tributeio Dr. Read as a citizen, scholar and gentleman, anti one of the most clo- qucnt preachers and most beloved pastors in their beautiful city. He honors his nativity. . Mr; Gould D. Jclliff, of Asbury Park, N. J., formerly a resident of Wilton, came up to .vislt Mr. Eber Foote, on Main street, on Wednesday. Thursday noon he went. up to Wilton to visit his family plot in the cemetery, returning hero on the 4:39 train and walking from the depot to Mr. Foote’s house, fccling apparently as well as ever. He went immediately to his room on some trifling errand, and no sooner had he en- tered than his daughter, who had accom- panied him, rushed down stairs in alarm and reported that something was the mat- ter with her father, but before anything could be done for his relief he was dead , from- a heart affection. He was about sixty years of age and was wcll-knowu in Norwalk and Wilton and highly esteemed. Raymond Brothers don’t hire tramps now. They had an experience last Mon- day that shattcrcd their confidence in these )eripatctic gentry. A sccdy, but worthy- looking stranger applied to them for a job. .Taking compassion on his apparent adver- sity they set him to work. His first duty was to deliver a half-ton of coal at a lady‘s house. He delivered the load, car- ried it into the cellar, presented the bill - and was given a five dollar note in pay- ment. The bill came to three dollars, and having no change, he left his team stand- ing in the yard and went out “to get the note changed.” As he has not yet re- turned, it is surmised that he was unable to find five dollars’ worth of small money in South Nor-walk, and went to Canada after it. ’ Sportsmen should remember that al- though tlic quail and partridge law is off. the law which prohibits hunters going ’round shooting women remains in force till later in the season. Last Saturday Mrs. Dr. F. Brady, of Wilton, while in her garden, saw a “sportsman” in a field across the road in the act of aiming his gun at a bird which was directly between her and the gunner. and before she could get out of range he fired, the shot whistling on both sides and above her, dangerously close, but luckily none of them struck her. She immediately directed the attention of the gunner to the fact that she was not posing as a shooting-gallery target, anti the young man, who was evidently near- sighted, on being told how near Iic came to hitting what he didn’t aim at, anti how far he came from hitting the bird, which he did aim at, turned' pale, and solemnly promised M-rs. Brady that the next time . he went hunting for birds, he would stick to the old method and put salt on their tails. 00 A Norwalk Lady Dead. Mrs. N. H. Clark, nee Miss Hannah Jennings of Norwalk, died suddenly at her home in Boston on Wednesday morn- ing, the 19th inst. She was apparently as well as ever the day before, and com- plained of a severe headache just after supper, from which she nearly fainted away. She retired and grew rapidly worse, and despite the best attention anti all that could be done, she died at 2 o’clock of congestion of the brain. The body was brought to Norwalk on Thurs- day, and the funeral occurred yesterday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, at the residence of her brother-iralaw, Mr. A. G: Betts, on Main street, Rev. Messrs. Clapp anti Sclleck officiating. Mrs. Clark will be remembered by Nor- walk citizens, having lived here until a few years ago, when she married and re- moved to Boston. At the time her father conducted the news and stationery store, now occupied by S. K. Stanley, deceased was almost constantly engaged in attend- ance upon the patrons of the- store. She was 38 years and 8 months old,-_ai1d her; husband survives her. ' ———<-o >————--A-—.— Y. A. A. F. C. The second annual meeting of the Y.A. A. F. C.
