——At the dental rooms of Dr. F. '1‘.
Hyatt, West avenue, can be secii the
Dental Electric Vibrator, for the painless
extraction of teeth. Thercsult of sixteen
years experiment. this machine is used
and recommended by professors of dental
colleges and leading dentists as being
superior to Gas, there being no bad after-
effect, as is often the case with anzcsthet-
ics. The little child, as well as the strong.
est man, can use the Vibrator with entire
safety. 1t. is wonderful, yct such is the
fact. We are fully convinced that the
days of worry and dread of having one‘s
teeth extracted are over. Dr. Hyatt has
secured the exclusive right for Norwalk
and South Norwalk to use this marvelous
invention, and will extract teeth absolute-
ly without pain and free of any extra
charge.
Starr’s Opera Company. which gave such
excellent satisfaction here last season, will
fill a week’s engagement in the Opera
House, beginning next Monday evening.
The Bridgeport Standard says of this
company :
In the rendition of the opera of The
Baroti the Starr Opera Company is in
many respects superior to Aronson's Ca-
sino company, which rendered it under
the proper name of Ei'ininie on the same
stage only a few days since. The strength
of the play is not only in the first act, but
in the two cliai'actci‘s,-Tcdcaiix and Red-
mond as they appear in that act. Of
course there are. some charming airs in the
other acts, notably the beautiful lullaby
in the second and good night. in the last.
But there is more, dramatic effect than
operatic opportunities in the piece and in
the characters referred to it. is not invidi-
ous to say that Frank Deshon as: Tedeaux
and Charles E. Osborne as Redmond are
vastly superior to the persons who per-
formed the same part in Arouson’s coin-
patty.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Fairfield County Agricultural So—
ciety will be held in this town.on Wednes-
day of next week, 2lst inst, at 3 p. in. It
is earnestly to be hoped that there will be
a large attendance from local stockholders,
who will go prepared to assume a share of
the responsibilities which we are assured
our Bridgeport friends will tender them,
and that they will devote to the good
canscail the energy which it deserves,
and make the old “Norwalk Fair” in the
future, the glorious success which its ‘ad-
vantages of prestige, location and re-
sources willcommand. If we mistake not,
the society is about to enter upon an era
of prosperity hitherto unknown in its
history, and our own citizens will be sure
of the hearty co-operation of the members
elsewhere in the County, with Bridgeport
acordial ally. in pushing the enterprise
forward to the standard which belongs to
it. Let the meeting next Wednesday be
largely attended. as an index of the inter-
est awakened in the “new birth.” Let
everybody who has the welfare of the
society at heart encourage the project, for
South Norwalk, Monday evening. It was
a success both financially and socially.

At the annual meeting of the Hat
Makcrs‘ society, held in Germania Hall,
Wednesday evening, the following officers
were elected : President, Chas. Schuman;
Vice-President. Hiram Perry; Secretary
Hugh Campbell; Treasurer, Homer Rock-
well.
G0vernor Lonnsbury is also “an abbre-
viated little fellow,” but he don’t drive
worth accnt. It has been pretty thor-
oughly demonstrated that these “abbre-
viated little fellows” are a good deal like
dynamite cartridges; they are small, but
they assci'tacertain degree of individuality
when they go off.
Gov. Lounsbury needn’t talk any more
about the “illiteracy" of our people. There
are at least 2,000 people right iii this'town
who not only know how to read, but who
also know how to make wise and excel-
lent sclcctions of their reading matter, as
that number of Raconns were sold last
Saturday, the entire edition being ex-
hausted, slick and clean. .

The shoe mamitactory of F. H. Roscoe
was closed yesterday by Sheriff Toner,
under an attachment by parties in New
York and Philadelphia to satisfy claims
of about $1,300. It is earnestly to be
hoped, and confidently expected that this
action will not seriously affect the future
business of this enterprising young manu-
facturer, nor deprive our town for more
than a short time of the benefits of having
this desirable establishment doing business
in our midst.
That was a pleasant. surprise to St.
John’s Lodge F. and-A. M. last week
Thursday evening, when six brethren
from Hiram Lodge No. 17, of Jersey City
visited it to fraternize with their Norwalk
brothers, and witness the Norwalk work.
The visitors Were George A. Lewis, S.
W.; Thomas Leather. P. M.; E. Van-
Druif, H. S. Barnes, C. W. Sweet, and G.
J. L. Hall. Our local Masons provided a
bountiful collation for their unexpected
guests but far from unwelcome guests,
who departed expressing themselves
much pleased with St. John’s hospitality
and their manner of working. It is hoped
by St. John that they will call again.
The other day Dockstader, the ministrel
manager of New York, advertised for a
“musical prodigy.” He received a large
number of applications, some of which
were published in the Morning Journal of
‘lhursday. Among them was this: “Ben
Sturges, who works in his father’s real
estate office, at Norwalk, Conn., wrote a
letter and enclosed his photograph. ‘I am
immense on the banjo.’ he wrote, ‘but.
somewhat lame on the piano. If you can-
not hire ine you may keep my picture and
hang it in your bedroom for an orna-
ment.” Young Ben’s modesty ought to
have secured him the situation, even if he
is “somewhat lame on the piano.” In
this age of audacity and precociiy, the
young man who belittles his own accom-
plishments, is 'not only a prodigy buta
phenomenon. Besides the qualification of
modesty,‘ young Ben has the additional
recommend of being the son of his equally
modest daddy, old Ben.

All wise men are not dead yet. A
South Norwalk minister, divinely asserts,
(if reports be true‘ “that the Republican
party would die in two years.” This is
unadulterated wisdom from. a innit wise
in his own conceit. We would say to
him. please make the time of decease a
little longer, say3years and 19 days, so
that Governor St. John and his abbettors
can have time to tell a few more lies, and
profit by Democratic patronage.
Local papers have much to say of the
rapid growth of Norwalk in all its dis-
tricts—South Norwalk is not lagging—
and it is hoped that the “boom" is real,
and not speculiitive, The “oldwell-cr”
who has correct views upon all subjects
has again been interviewed, and though
feeble in health, his mind is clear and his
knowledge and experience valuable.
When we read to him of the growth and
advances of East Norwalk, and referred
again to the “boom" in South Norwalk,
he drew a long breath, and said, I hope
the advance and growth is real—but when
I look back 40 years, many cases are re-
called when houses have been built on
borrowed money, which have been sold,
and resold, for taxes and mortgages. If
I had a son who had $1,000, and counted
to build a house, my advice to him would
be—not now, pay rent a little longer—get
your moneyfirsl, you can build any time.
Why, 'said he, only a few years ago, I
readiuacity journal at recommend for
all young married men to buy bnilding
lots, and build. But I find the editorwho
made that appeal has not taken the ad;
vice, and think he was wise. I hope
that these young men will think
of these things, before it is to late, and
locaieoutsz'dc of the city. We give this
veteran’s opinion for tliegconsideration of
those who are about to invest, and have
not all the ready money to pay.

named “Colonel." On Monday morning
the animal was missing and did not re-
turn until Wednesday night, when he was
seen coming from toward Norwalk. His
collar was gone, and it. is probable that
some one had him tied up and that he
made his escape by slipping the collar
over his head.
The several companies of the fire depart-
ment held their meetings on Monday
evening, at which committees were ap-
pointed to select department officers for
the ensuing year. The meeting of the
committees takes place this Tuesday even-
ing so that we are unable to announce the
names of the newly elerted officers, but
we do not believc,whoevcr may be elected
to the position, that one will be found
who will devote more time or energy to
the interess of the department than Chief
Jones has done during his incumbency.

GREENS FARMS.
Farmers are about. ready for winter,
most having done butchering hogs. There
has been a great change in this matter
within a few year . It used to be the
fashion to wait; until about Christmas or
later, but now pigs are fed earlier, and the
rule of some is to butcher about as soon as
water begins to freeze in the trough.
The state board of agriculture meets this
week Wednesday for three days in Hart-
ford. Quite a number of our farmers
usually go, and about the usual number
still go this year. It. ought to be more
fully attended especially by the younger
farmers of the State. It is far more use-
ful and better worth spending time and
money for than agricultural fairs as now
generally conducted.
About six months ago Rev. Mr. Relyea
resigned his pastorate. but was prevailed
on to stay until Jan. lst, 1888. The great.
question now seems to be what shall we
do next. Some wish him to stay with-
drawing his resignation, but others doubt
the wisdom of such a course. There ap-
pears to be no very strong feeling against
him personally, with few exceptions. He
was settled December 4th, 1861.
Onions are going off slowly, but the
price is pretty good, and the opinion seems
to be that they will be higher. They are
not keeping well, the weather is too warm
and moist. The farmers club meet Tucs-
day nightat the house of Wm. J. Jennings.
The president, John H. Jennings, will
read an essay on “The Rotation of Crops."
The club was organized Jan. 21, 1861, on
and officers elected. It has kept up‘t'hc
organization. but there have been some
years when there have been no meetings.
It has been in many tliinnsameans of
good to this community. The machinery
has been very simple but. eilicient..and
been copied by a number of other clubs.

The Young People’s Society of the Con-
gregational church held their first annual r
meeting Tuesday evening. During the
year they have held large prayer meetings
every Sunday evening. And monthly
sociablcs; have given several entertain-
ments, raised two hundred dollars. and
increased from 36 to 110 members. '
It is understood that Justice of the
Peace F. M. Bliss, has notified the Grand
Jurors, that; if they do not enforce the
Sunday law in every instance, he will call
them to account. It is rumored that .thc
zeal of the Justice in this matter, arises
from his intention to defend a tenant on
his premises, whose place of business was
closed last. Sunday. His action has no
reference to:the work or the Law and ,_

Every garment is worth more than double the price marked, but we want
to sell them now while they can be used, and not in the summer while the
buyer has no need of them.
