It is a good sign that such a publishing
house as the Congregational Sunday
School and Publishing Society of Boston
should offer prizes so unusual as $700

thing worili having. :Writers can learn

Now that the signal towers are in work-
ing order it is understood that instead of
the system being an old one, the one that
has been placed along the Consolidated
road is merely an experiment by the com-
pany putting them in, and there has been
some talk among the railroad officials of
taking them out. It was supposed that
the signals were similar to those used on
the Pennsylvania and other roads—Sen-
tinel.
The Uentury’s articles on “Ranch Life
in the Far West,” which will begin in the
Ftbruary number, are not only written,
but illustrated also, by experts. Theodore
Roosevelt has experienced all he writes
about in the “great grazing lands,” and
Frederic Remington, the artist, has led
the its of a cowboy on the western plains
Among Remington’s illustrations in the
first number are a full page picture of an
attack upon a company of cowboys by the
Indians, ”A Row in a Cattle Town,”
"Cowboy Fun.” “Pulling a 00w out of
the Mud,” and another full page picture
of “Bronco Busters Saddling.”
There are within about ten millions as
many sheep as there are persons in the
United States. There is more titan one
for each of the meat. eaters. Each one of
these sheep will furnish one or more suits
of woollen clothes for every person, be-
sides giving fifty or sixty pounds of mutton
and leather enough to make one pair of
shoes, one pair of gloves, and bind one
book for every person -in the country.
Free wool will destroy the sheep industry,
and make mutton, shoes, and gloves more
costly.
The Norwalk correspondent of the
Standard says: “Mrs. Fredericks, of
Stamford, has had a large class in paint-
ing here since early in the ‘fall. Mrs.
Williams, too, has had her time fully
occupied with pupils. Miss Kellogg
teaches drawing and painting in Mrs. Bis-
scll’s school, and has pupils at her studio.
Thus the number of those who take plea-
sure in the use of easel and brush is grow-
ing larger, and while the majority will
probably never advance very far in the
art, they all will become close observers of
the beautiful in nature and will find in it
a pleasant occupation for leisure hours.”

——To-n'ight Col. Anderson at Y. M. C. A.
An intoxicated individual, not drunk
enough to be boisterous, but too drunk to
be sensible, approached Chief Lockwood
Monday afternoon and said: “I want you
to arrest me.” “Oh, you are all right,”
replied the officer, “just keep quiet and
don’t make any disturbance and you won’t
be molested.” But the fellow insisted on
being taken. Said he : “Well, if you
want breach of the peace I’ll give you all
you want of that, if you won’t take me in
without it," and he forthwith began ‘to
shout and curse and throw stones against
a building until the chief collared him and
started for Judge Selleck’s dispensary of
fines and moral lectures. He told the
chief that whenever he ordered himself
arrested he always meant it. Judge Scl-
leck tickled him still more by sending him
to jail for 30 days. ‘
Ned Birmingham, :1 dissolute carpenter
who had made himself obnoxious to the
family of Harry Gage, was arrested on
Saturday by Officer Moore and taken be-
fore His Honor Judge Sellcck. He was
ugly and impudcnt, and had been out of
jail only a few weeks. The Judge found
him guilty of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct, fined him $5.00 and costs, and
started to give him one of thosefatherly
and well-meaning moral lectures in which
the-Judge is so proficient, but Birmingham
didn’t appreciate His Honor’s kindly in-
forest, and vehemently told him so, in re-
pcated interrup'ions. The J udgc had got
as far as: “It scents too bad thatapian
of your age and evident intelligence should
conduct himself in the manner you do,
and I feel sorry————” but Birmingham
broke in again with the swaggering as-
surance: “Well, you needn’t feel sorry
for me, nota—— bit; I don’t want no
sympathy from you, —— —— you 1”
“Oh, don’t you ?” mildly replied the urban
Judge, ‘ then I'llcliangc the sentence, and
instead of giving you $5 I’ll make it 37
and costs and thirty days in jail.” Bir-
mingham wilted and changed his tune to
a whine, but it was too late, and he went
to jail Monday morning.

A petition to President Cleveland asking

Undertaker J. D. Jennings, W. E. Quin-
tard’s successor, has purchased a new
hearse, which arrived yesterday, and
which is called the finest vehicle of the
kind ever seen in this town. It was built
by Brownell, of New Bedford, Mass., and
is known as a “pillar hearse,” from the
pillar-shaped design of the wood-work at
each corner. The sides are of large and
full-sized, extra heavy plate glass; the
curtain hangings of both black and white
are of elaborate design and superior ma-
terial ; the hearse is equipped with full
patent axles, and all the modern improve-
ments and appliances known to the hearse
maker’s art. It is a heavy vehicle, and is
said to have cost $1,500. '
Michael Tierney, brother—in-law of J.
M. Kilboy, foreman of the GAZETTE com-
posing rooms, was found dead on the
snow beside the track near Meriden Sun-.
day morning and marks and blood in the
snow indicated that he had been struck
by a train and so injured that he was an-
able to make his way to the station or to
any house, but had dragged himself about
twenty feet in the snow and was overcome
by his injuries and the cold and had frozen
to death. There was not a thing in his
pockets, “not so much as a match," Says
one account, and this fact gave rise to a
theory which, however, is not generally
accepted, that he had been murdered and
robbed. Deceased was an expert burnish-
er in the Rogers silver plating works. He'
was buried yesterday.
“Grandma Garfield” is dead. She has
survived her celebrated son by more than
seven years, although, in the first extrem—
ity of her grief at his death, she prophesi—
ed that she would never see another New
Year day. Her quaint ways and speeches
during the Presidential campaign of 1880
and the early months of her son’s admin-
istration, made her name a familiar one,
and, after the tragic ending of the Presi—.
dent’s career, a larger measure of popular
sympathy, if possible, went out to her
than to any one other member of the
afflicted family. She was a relic of the
pioneer era in what was then the wild
west, and the story of her struggles to
bring up and educate the family of boys
and girls left to her care by her dying
husband has become almost a part of the
history of thenation. She was nearly as
old as the century, having been born in
September, 1801.
“Lord Noozo” it is who sends in this
itcm:——“There was a quiet, thoughtful-
looking gentlemen walking along West
avenue on Saturday last. Under his arm
was a picture of Christ on the Cross, he
had also a small leather satcnel which
he carried in his band. From his solemn
and dignified mein there was no slinking
from the thought that he‘ was a subscrip-
tion canvasser for a religious work. Your
reporter, who happened to be in a position
commanding a good view of this gentle-
man, witnessed, with a chuckle of delight,
the percgrinating efforts of this fellow as
be endeavored, to navigate the slippery
sidewalk. He would try to walk with
’commendable and graceful dignity, but
would stop with a sudden convulsive jerk,
and one foot would slip and shoot up to
the height of his chin, then he would
sway to one side and career over in a
manner that threathened to precipitate
him head foremost into the ice and scatter
his brains completely over the walk, but
the hand in . possession of the satchel
swung quickly up and richetted around
his head with a velocity that made our re-
porter giddy. Regaining his equilibrium,
he again assayed to feel his way along,
but fetched up again with such sudden-
ncss that the pictute of Christ on the
Cross was whipped from under his pro-
tecting arm, and it had no sooner struck'
the sidewalk than the now thoroughly ex-
cited man fell upon it with such weight
as to shatter it into fragments, and the
poor fellow rolled kicked and scrambled
and made numbcrless facial contortions to
gain his feet once more, and when he did
gain them he gazed sorrowfully upon the
ruined picture, danced at ound and howled:
‘I even wish it were crushed into a thous-
and atoms,”

Bailway Improvements-
The Housatonic road, under the man;
agement of Vice President William H.
Stevenson, is fast undergoing many im-
portant improvements which will aid ma-
terially in making it first-class in every
respect The old wooden bridges along
the main line are being replaced by mod—
ern iron structures of' the best quality and
latest designs. This work is under the
immediate supervision of F. M. Cogill,
supervisor of bridges and buildings. Mr.
Cogill is a man of experience in this line
of business. He was with the Consoli-
dated road over seven years, and his
knowledge of bridge building makes him
a valuable man for the Housatonic road.
He has just completed an iron bridge at
Ashley Falls of the Howe truss pattern,
and itisabeauty. The structure is 107
feet six inches inJe’ngth, having a span of
over 100 feet.
This is the only through truss bridge
yet completed on the line. Mr. Cogill is
arranging drawings for a similar structure
at New Milford to take the place, by J unc
lst, oi the old wooden bridge. This will
be 374 feet long, and will contain three
spans of 110 feet each. All the wooden
bridges will be replaced with iron as fast
as the work can be completed. All the
new bridges will be capable of holding
the heaviest trains. The abutments are
completed for another bridge at. Hawley-
ville, which wil‘ be placed in position be-
fore long. Similar improvements are also
in progress on the Danbury 8: Norwalk
division at Georgetown and Cannon Sta-
tion. Mr. Cogill has just completed a set
of plans for the railway commissioners of.
Massachusetts as required by law. He is
head and heels, as the saying goes, in
business, and is evidently just the man
needed for the work entrusted to his care.

Some Temperance Obsevations.
In the course of a weleritten editorial
in the Grocers‘ Monthly Review, on Pro-
hibition, the following occurs:
The most effective allies of prohibibi-
tion, and the greatest foes to excessive in-
dulgence in stimulants, are our educa-
tional institutions. It is true that many
men, and it is sad to say, many women of
intelligence and refinement become the
victims of the insidious cup. Some of
these have been numbered [among the
brightest intellects the country has pro-
duced, and the greater the elevation they
have achieved the deeper the degradation
and self-abasement of the fall. The names
of Edgar Allan Poe, and the Senators
Yates, Nye and Saulsbury will readily
Occur to the readers of our modern his-
tory. It is a fact that the men who most
easily succumb to the wiles of the tempter
in the highly educated classes are of a
genial, generous-hearted,‘free-handed na-
ture, without an enemy except themselves,
and with‘ legions of friends who remain
true to them to the last, although sorrow-
ing for their infirmity. No miser was
ever known to become a drunkard, al-
though of the two he is the most wretched
and useless. It is the man enga ed in
intellectual pursuits, companionab e and,
lovable that fails a victim to the wine cup.
, But. the very infrequency of such exam-
ples in proportion to the large number of
excessive drinkers among people of little
or no education, shows that increased in-
telligence acts as a barrier to excessive in-
dulgence. The exceptions simply prove
the rule. The man who stands in his own
respect and that of others is far less likely
to become the slave of intcinperance than
one, who by lack of advantages and im-
proper surroundings has no thought ex-
cept to supply the cravings of his animal
nature.

- BEDDING.
Last week Tuesday’s snow falling level
on the icy roads made splendid sleighing.
The people have enjoyed it.
Rev. W. J. Jennings was too unwell to
appear in his pulpit last Sunday. He has
been sick forufew days, but not very
severely so.
The putting up of ice occupied the
attention of many last week. The ice was
about ten inches thick. Its quality was
very fine. It. is very abundant.
