Another oyster suit has arisen to the ownership of the grounds in Quin- nipiac' river, and the people of East Haven intend to find out if they are in natural beds.

Plymouth church gave ban a fare- well reception Tuesday evening, at which the warmest things were said. Ilalsteed, Huiues & 00., of New York, the large dry goods house, failed in 1884 for $1,140,000, with assets of $700,000. Several creditors tried to have the assign- ment set aside as fraudulent, but all failed. The national bank of Port Chester, one of the suing creditors, carried its case to the general term, which now reverses the de- cision of the lower court, orders a new trial, and says that the assignment should have been set aside. The county commissioners will meet for the purpose of granting licenses in city council rooms in South Norwalk on Fri- day, November 4th; Stamford, 5th ; New- town, 7th; Danbury, 3d, and to-day in Grecnwich.’ As the GAZETTE predicted the price of licenses has been a(lvanccd,. the average increase being one hundred dollars, as follows: Full . wholesale li- cense, $350; full retail license, $300; retail beer license, $250. Miss Ethel Sprague, daughter of the Rhode Island war governor and Kate Chase, has the usual ambition to go on the stage. but she has also the unusual sense to begin at the beginning and work up from such subordinate parts as should properly fail to a novice. After site has had her experience either in this country or England, she wants to play Lady Mac- beth,——conccrning whose femineity she has ideas,——and also other Shakespearean characters.

A,funeral procession near Sycamore, Ind., was on its way to them cemetery, Thursday, when the team attached to the hearse ran away and the vehicle was smashed to pieces. The coffin was dash-. ed to the ground, the lid torn off and the corpse rolled into a ditch by the roadside. Other teams took fright, and a general panic ensued. Women fainted and men jumped from the carriages, wagons were overturned, horses became entangled in the general wreck and several persons were injured. Rev. Mr. Howells, who was to have conducted the funeral ex- ercises, was perhaps fatally injured. Our reform P. M. is,like the humble worm, and insists upon at least squirming when trod upon. He avers that the de- tained letter from Danbury, about which he has been wounded in the house of his friends, was promptly and as correctly delivered as the superscription allowed. There never was such an era. of blundering in the postal service of the country as now, but it is only fair to say that the new democratic postmasters are not guilty of all of it. FTlrc financial columns of the news- papers of to-day are filled with advertise- ments of the mortgages and debentures offered investors by mortgage companies located in all of the western states.

There is one at Rolland doing a thriving business, but. the Herald says the men of that town “have got done contributing to enterprises which only deprive their wives of good domestic ltelp.” That touches a popular chord. It seems that the young women of Rutlaud prefer workingiu the shirt factory to washing dishes, and hence there is a scarcity of feminine labor.

The burglar may get well. The “rebel yell” is not a pleasrng sound to northern cars, the confederate flag is not a pleasing sight to northern eyes. but there is no present menace to the Union in them.

Putnam at Brooklyn, was perplexed in choosing the (late of his death, as the authorities are divided on May 19 and 29, 1790. He chose the 19th. The uncertainty is sup- posed to have arisen from a proof-reader’s error. Tllc file of the Hartford Courant give the date May 29. Mr. William Lockwood and Bert Cram wcut riding Monday behind one of Mr. Lockwood’s trotters. As they were turn- inga corner near Mr. Earle’s place on East Avenue the buggy upset throwing out tlle occupants. Mr. Lockwood was severely cut and bruised but was not; severely injured.

He is a tailor and one thing he remembers is lrow he sat as a journeyman 011 the same table with Andrew Johnson about 1825. He says that although Mr. Johnson became President he was never a very good tailor. Mr. Murray was in the press room of the N ew York Tribune when the first number was printed. About 1844, their living in New York, he was drawn on a jury and lost so much time that he joined the volunteer fire department to escape such duty. Soon after occured the great Broad street fire in which he received hurts that disabled him for sixteen montlrs.———C’ou7‘ant. Several of Bridgeport’s moneyed men are interested in the establishment of .cx- tensivc forging works at Whitestone, L. I. The corporation, established under the laws of New York, will have a capital of $2,000,000 and $700,000 has been sub- scribed. W. F. Piukham, who till recently was prominent in the Bridgeport forge. company will manage the new project, and. W. D. Bishop, who had an interest of $35,000 in the old company, is one of the principal backers of this move. A tract of land has been bought at Whitestone with a water frontage of 1,000 feet, and with a harbor depth of 30 feet will admit the largestvessels. The plant will be on a scale for the largest. forgiags. The town of St.‘ Johnsbury, Vt., is one, of several in New England now engaged in that familiar old task of trying to induce certain manufacturers to locate there, but it is making use of a little more sense than is customarily employed in such efforts to boomalocality. Instead of blindly sub- .scribing for $20,000 worth of stock rc- quiredlfo remove the Rutland shirt factory to St. Johnsbury without asking any ques- tions, the citizens of the town have thought to ascertain the actual value of the stock and the prospects of the industry. If it is not worth $20,000 and never is likely to be, then St. Johnsbury does not want the factory at that price. ' No com- munity ever gained anything yet by taxing themselves to possess a losing venture. The Saturday Sun reports that Mr. Sherman P. Fitch, of Wilton, had been .dropped out of the custom house service with several others supposed to be repub- licans, which was doubtless their only offense. We remember a pressure was once brought to bear on Collector Thomas Murphy to remove Mr. Fitch, (then sup- posed to be a democrat), and then replace him by a prominent Wilton republican. Murphy examined Fitch’s record of ser- vice in the custom house and said there wasn’t. a man in the whole office who could not better be spared; that he was kcepinga set of special records with a beauty and perfection of pcnmanship that could not be surpassed by an expert cop- per plate engraver. But Fitch isn’t good enough for this “reform” (‘1’) civil service, because he was kept in his ofilcc on his merits by the republicans. After our friend Hubbell was appointed from Wil- ton, (about whosc democracy there was no question), 'wc presume it. was too crowded to have two clerks from Wilton. Last 'chnesday evening, which was observed by them as “Harvest Home,” was a very delightful evaning to the mem- bers of Trinity Sunday school, South Nor- walk. It was the first celebration of the kind by the school and was a marked oc- casion. The walls of the chapel in which the exercises were held were adorned with appropriate sentences traced vei'y hand- somely along the chapel sides, while againsta rich background or lovely au— tumn foliage at the end of the room was presented a bright and beautiful picture of autumn fruits. Under the trailing hangings of what appeared to be different kinds of leaves, ferns or grasses were dis- played cars of yellow corn, a basket of golden apples and bunches of luscious grapes. The Rev. Dr. Spencer, a former rector, introduced the evening’s proceed- ings, and in a few well chosen words ad- dressed the tcachcrs and pupils. Musical rccitations were rendered, interspersed by brief remarks by Mr. Frisbie, a member of the parish, and the Rev. Mr. Selleck. The children performed their parts with great credit to themselves, and were after- wards entertained from a bountiful table, which had been furnished by the members of the parish generally. Tire celebration was under the management; of Mr. John H. Smith, senior warden of Trinity church, and who, from its organization. has been the school’s faithful and efficient superin- tendent. and the whole affair was a thor- ough success. Central Bank. Mr. A. S. Hurlbutt, of \Vestport, who, ever since the organization of the Central National Bank of Norwalk, has been its president, and who was one of its first and most active originators, has been induced on account of the phenomenal growth of the bank’s business anti his other busi— ness relations, which frequently call him from the state for longer or shorter peri- ods, to tender his resignation as official head of this prosperous Norwalk bank. His place will be probably be filled by the election of Mr. George M. Holmes to the presidency. Mr. Hurlbutt expects to be absent at. the south most of the coming winter, but will continue to make the Central Bank his headquarters whenever he is in town. The Scovillc manufacturing comp my of ‘ Waterbury have placed their claim against . “Record-ed.” Col. A. B. Wood, U. S. Consul at. litm- doc, is the guests of friends on Belden avenue. The colonel has been enjoying a short vacation but sails ou the 2d proximn for his official post in Scotland.

Some mlscrcant poisoned Mr. Ratch— ford’s handsoruc little Scotch collie pup last Saturday night. The animal was named “Record,” and was, as might be inferred from its name, remarkably bright and intelligent. - Artist II. W. Mitchell has on exhibition in Dr. Gregory’s show window a haml- somcly executed crayon portrait of the late Thomas Morison. The work is a credit. to the artist. Sammy Swavins is a precocious urchin of five summers. Chit-f Lockwood picked him up the other day for stealing bars of soap and selling them fora cent a bar. and for stealing a bicycle from Ells‘ furniture store and riding like a veteran about the sidewalks. He told the chief he had no objections to being put in the lockup, but. when he got there Ire didn’t like the looks of it, and said be guessed he wouldn’t go in. And he didn’t. He was taken to Mrs. Heudrick’s and put to bed, and in the morning his people took possession of the little runaway. “Eph” Merritf’s blacksmith shop, on Water street, was burglarlzed Thursday night. and although it is not positively known that any of the contents were stolen, the burglars came very near burn- ing the shop. A small fire was smoulder- ing in the centre of the floor, which had burned a hole through the planking and consumed a working jacket, which hung overawocdcn horse. It. is not thought that an attempt was made to burn the shop, but it is suspected that the burglars ' had broken in to steal tools for entering other buildings in town, and possibly some oi‘thesc stolen tools were used in burglarizing the Catholic church the same night. Everybodyin this region will be sorry to learn that on the first of January next Mr. S. C. Rosenberg willresign the leader'- ship of the Wheeler 83 Wilson band, of Bridgeport. and accept the leadership of an orchestra in a Baltimore theatre, a. position which he held in New York before he came to Bridgeport. Hehas led the Wheeler «S: Wilson band for 23 years, and to his efforts more than any other cause, the credit is due for tile fact that this favorite old organization is counted among the best in any state in the Union. “Rosey” has thousands of friends who will regret this change. but Baltimore will have cause to rejoice. The poignancy of his -own grief, however, must be softened. and his rcgretat leaving must be made less painful, by the assur- ance, from tllc linguist of the Morning News, that his friends will say “gee sontag! ” _,___‘* SO U TII-N OR WALK. Uncle George Seymour (as he is called) is quite ailing, and mostly confined to his house. Tire office of the South Norwalk Sen- tinel has been removed to Railroad square, west of the depot. A report is current that Music Hall has been leased for a term of years by C. Swartz and I. M. Hoyt. ' -Mrs. Dr. Orton sailed for the sunny climcs of Italy on Saturday, and expects to beabsent from her home unlil June, 1888. Clerks and carpenters are often induced to leave good jobs for higher pay.‘ They cannot resist. It is often thus with the reverend clergy. While Horace Hallock and daughter were visiting with Mr. F. H. Nash’s family, a. telegram was received announcing the sudden death of Mr. Halloek’s son in De- troit. Mr. Eben Dupiguac, once a resrdeat of the borough, and now a salesman with Roberts, Cushman 6‘: 00., N. Y., spent a little time with friends and patrons in South Norwalk. , Draining the water from the spring on Mr. Dickcrman’s land, which was so long used by the railroad company, is affecting the volume of water in all the springs and wells in the neighborhood. Samuel Watkins, one of West Norwalk’s boys, but now a merchant in the far West, has returned here preparatory to taking the fatal leap of matrimony. On his way East he called upon his aunt, Mrs. Charles Seymour, nee Benedict, who resides at Roseadale, Wis. The movementfor the annexation of East Norwalk and its, eastern surroundings to the city is being very vigorously but quietly carried on, and it now seems cer- tain that the city limits will be extended a long way toward the rising sun, and soon will contain 5,000 inhabitants and a Catholic church. We learn that Mr. Langdou is anxious for the consummation ofthis plan, that he may have a supply of crty water. There has been during the last week much vigilance, and, it is hoped, success- ful work accomplished in the effort to further the cause of temperance in the city. A brother from the borough has been very attentive to this business, and after surveying the surroundings on Rail- road squarc, frequently locates in the P. O. to extend invitations, and solicit con- tributions, but not always successfully. A beer vender was approached, and the re- quests made. His reply was more forcible than eloquent—1‘1 sells bier; you golleekts monies. You stickts to you bisnees; I stickts to mine." Meetings in behalf offtemperance have been continued with fair success during the past. week, Revs. Major Terry and Bray aiding the local clergy. Very little has been done except to discuss the enor- mity of the liquor traffic, and denounce its use. On Sunday last Mr. Harris in his address said his speech was only ringing the bell to announce others who would follow. After analyzing “lager beer” and examining Mr. McGonegal’s head, and his address was closed, Mr. McGonegal arose and declared that he was alive well and sound, I thank you. Rev. Mr. Ross fol- lowed with an address, in which he com- plimented Mr. Harris for his tact as speaker and actor. Near the close of the exer- cises, W. S. Bailey was presented with some memento of the W. C. T. U. GREENS FARMS. Mr. Charles G.Sherwood, who has been so long sick, was out to church Sunday. Farm work is mostly done up except husking corn and that is ready. It has been an early fall. . The next meetihg ofthe Farmers’ club is to be at H. B. Wakeman’s on Tuesday night of this week. Mr. H. B.

Mr. George Fairchild has been quite sick with a cold and a slight attack of pneumonia, which confined him to the house for a week or more. He is better now. Nearly all the onion ground is plowed titles are being brought from New York to be put on for next year’s crop. The saddest thing that has happened lately was the death of two sons of Chas. H.
