It was voted to lease the oflicc room and ante room of St. John’s Lodge from mouth to mouth as a club house until such time as their other quarters will be ready for their occu- pancy. The objects and aims of the club were talked up and» a scheme of action mapped out which will' insiure for the club success and a life of usefulness. It was decided to procure anumbcr of cppies of the Not-walk Record Of last week for distribution among the members, as that issue contained the full text of the consti- tution and by-laWs. ‘ Now come, let us reason together, General Black.

In this connection, it may be well also to inquire whether the pension of $100 per month granted to Citizen Black was or was not obtained upon false rc- prcscntations.—— Washington Republic. A story which illustrates the pluck of Mrs. Annie Cary Raymond is going the, rounds of the New England press. Dur- ing the warm weather-two weeks ago, she went from Portland, Me., to Falmouth, to spend the day. After leaving the station she had some distance to go in a buggy- aud the horse required a great deal of urging to cross alittle creek which was much swollen. On the return the beast absolutely refused to again enter the creek. The station was in sight, but the creek msth be crossed and the horse would not go. It would not have been Annie Cary if she had not risen to the She dispatched the driver to a farm house, a short distance Off, and had him bring a cart di-awn by a yoke of oxen. Into the cart stepped the former canta- trice, the driver took up the goad, and the quiet beasts stepped into the ice-cold water. For amoment they hesitated, then pushed forward and reached the station just as the panting engine halted for a moment and gave an opportunity to board the cars. An amusing incident occurred during the blizzard which has just come to the surface. A lady and her mother visited Bridgeport and were detained by the storm. The husband of the lady became anxious on account of the long absence of his wife. He finally resolved to go after her, and took the cars. It so happened that the wife and her mother left Bridge- portthc same day. At Norwalk the bus- band boarded the train for the city, and not knowing that his wife was at the depot went on to Bridgeport, only to find his wife had just left for Bethel. He hurried back. The wife and mother reached home and there learned that the gentle- man had gone to look after them, so they concluded to go tothe Bethel depot and await the train. The train came and the husband left the cars on the west side. and quickly went to the house, but alas l his wife was not there ; and alas! the husband did not come on the train. The gentleman thought his wife had for a joke secreted herself. , Finally the mystery was solved and then all hands had a good laugh over the affaita—Bethel cor. News. —-The following is from the Port Jeffer- son Times, whose representative was evidently pleased with his visit to the large dry goods and carpet house, which he describes so well : “We are having the largest sale of carpets this season that we have ever experienced at this time of the year, about fifty sales being made to-day,” said a representative of the D. M. Read 00. to a Times reporter yesterday. The scribe was invited into the carpet depart— ment, where he fodnd the attendants all busy showing goods, taking orders, and making sales. Here was displayed an immense stock of the leading and desir able patterns in all lines of foreign and domestic manufactures. They carry the largest stock of carpets, rugs and mats, in all colors and patterns,of any house in the city, and judging from the hundreds of ,rolls seen in. the show and store rooms, they intend to take' the lead in this line. In/thc cutting and sewing room about a dozen hands were engaged in their respective duties. In every department a full and complete line is seen, and rare bargains shown in all goods. Tile benefit fund which is in the hands of the Connecticut Press Association, is growing steadily. Comparatively little is known by the fgcneral public about the fund, which is forthc purpose of assisting newspaper workers who are in trouble and -nccd,financial aid. It is the only fund of the kind in the country and is so managed as tocommand the confidence and sup- port-of people who desire to contribute of their means for charitable projects of this kind The . fund ' is manager] by three trustees who are members of the associa— tion and in every town where there is any considerable number of newspaper men there is a representative. of the fund to whom application for relief can be made, and through ,whom assistance can be speedily provided by the trustees in case the call is a genuine and worthy one. Al- though the enterprise was undertaken but a short time ago considerable money has been subscribed. More, however, is need- ed to fully carry out the designs of its founders and make it the power for good it can be made. Newspaper men .do not as a rule become supplicants for charity, but trouble sometimes comes to them as it does to other people. It is-highly desir- able that tlic food should reach a size that would enable the trustees to meet the or- oinary calls that would be made upon it without drawing upon the principal.

On Monday, engine No. 199, drawing the train which arrives at South Norwalk at 1:18 on the Consolidated road, broke a connecting rod and blew old a cylinder head at Noroton. The train got as far as South Norwalk and transferred the pzis- scngci's to the 1:45 traiu.‘ Our esteemed contemporay, the Spring. field Republican, (Mugwnmp) gives the following clear exposition of the true cuasc of much of our present postal dcinorali- zation : , Ahmad—new postmaster was recently appointed at a small railroad station near Fostoria, O. For several days after the mail agent uf the train rcceivcd no mail from the station, and reported ilic matter to the superintendent of the railway mail service. The latter wrote the postmaster, who replied that he was waiting for the mail—sack to get full before sending it to train. _ -_._..__... Monday evening the Y. M. C. A hold its first annual gymnasium exhibition. Four hundred people were present to see what a class of young men, many of whom had never seen a gymnasium until five months ago, could accomplish in ten lessons under Mr. Geo. Poolc‘s leadership and instruction. The two hours’ gramme brought into action nearly every piece of apparatus in the gymnasium, and creditable work was done all the way through. The tumbling and racing fur- nished great amusement as well as excite- ment, while the tug-of-war, as the final number, pulled everybody out of their seats, and made it easy for the audience In spite of the low price of admission, the entertainment proved a financial success, and the proceeds will be applied to the current expenses of the association. At the meeting of the Connecticut His- torical Society at Hartford, Tuesday even- ing of last week. Mr. Charles J. Hoadley, in the name of the Hon. Robert 0. Win- throp, presented to the society an original letter, dated February 22, 1665-6. from King Charles 2d to the Governor of Con— necticut. It. is the earliest ever received from him. No allusion is made to George Washington, though it is dated February 22d. He also presented a letter (1699) from the board of trade to the Governor. Mr. Hoadlcy exhibited other very inter- esting papers which Mr. Winthrop has presented to the state Of Connecticut. These include : .. The original treaty, 1681, between Un- cas, Oncco and Josiah and the colony. The original dccd to Massapce signed by Uncas in 1658—-a very different signaturc from the other by the same chief. The original deed by Cattapcsett to Mrs. Anna Stanton, of Stonington. This deed is witnessed by “Wonknow, gentleman,” and by "Mugwomp," who signs his name plainly to the paper. - Here we undoubtedly/have the origin of the unique designation of the Republican who votes the Democratic ticket, i. c., “Mugwump.” . . ——<+>———-——— Pleasant Excursion. The portion of the Bissell; school that made the Easter vacation excursion to Washington, returned home after having enjoyed a delightful visit to the Nation’s capitol. They visited Mount Vernon, Sol- dicrs’ Home, the Departments, National Museum, Art Gallery, etc., etc., and also called on and were graciously received by the President. In relating this handshak- ing experience, young Bisscll remarked: “My, but isn’t he fat." The children were quite curious to see the wife of the Presi- dent, and Master Harry Good indited a polite card expressing their desire, which recdived the follpwiiig response : Exsour‘rvn Mammy, WASHINGTON. Mrs. Cleveland regrets that it will be impracticable for her to see the young people who are in Washington with Mrs. Bisscll before Saturday, but should they remain in the city until then, she will be glad to have them call between four and six o‘clock that (lay. Famous Cravamxo. To Master Harry Good. Washington, April 4. As the party had to return to Norwalk Friday, the kind invitation of Mrs. Cleve- land could not be enjoyed, greatly to the regret of the children. Nevertheless they had an unalloyed “good time” and are ready and anxious to repeat the excursion On their way down they were met at the Grand Central Depot by Mrs. Good, with carriages to transport them to the Jersey City ferry, and when safely deposited on the train sundry'bOxes were transferred to them by Mrs. Good, containing a’most elaborate and appetiziuglunch for the trip. It was equal to one of Delmonico’s best and consisted of all the luxuries of the season, with a dessert of fruit and Florida strawberries. A trip home with the party convinced their fellow travelers that. Mas- ter Harry Good was ,a “chip of the old block” with a good deal of “grandpa" thrown in. ' The party comprised their teacher, Mrs. A. H.Bissell, Masters Shelton and Arthur H. Bissell, Miss Annie Cole and Harry Good. —-—<+ The Putnam Monument. Secretary 0. B. Todd, of the Putnam Camp Memorial Committee, of Bedding, has issued the following circular to the patriotic citizens of the state, which will undoubtedly meet with a cordial and sub- stantial response. The Putnam Mona: ment is now in process of construction by our cfilcient townsman, P. W. Bates, and will be completed by the 10th of June next. Secretary Todd says of it in his circular : Dear Sir :— The monument to mark the site of the winter quarters of Putnam’s brigades in Redding, authorized by the Connecticut legislature of 1887, is to be completed on the 10th of June, 1888. The commission is desirous of unveiling it- with appropriate ceremonies on the suc- ceeding Fourth of July. Unfortunately the very meagre appropriation of $1,500 has been exhausted by the monument. The committee estimate that for clearing and grading the grounds, defining the limits of the camp, constructing roads and bridges, fencing, etc., and to meet the ex- penses Of the celebration, at least $1,500 will be required, and make this appeal to the liberal and patriotic for that sum. The utility of the work must be appar- ent to every, thoughtful citizen. We need monuments to the heroic, dead, for the samcrcason that we need a distinctive national literatiirc—to-inspirc our youth, and to weldthc diverse and conflicting elements poured upon us by the old world into one homogeneous nation. “The souls of my fort-fathers,” sang the old Viking, “touched me througlr their bows and glittering spears which hung upon the wall, and made me a warrior.” Audtrue it is that a boy who grows into maturity surrounded by visible proofs that his forefathers were brave and honorable, will enter manhood with a strong impetus to an ‘iicroic and useful life. We have schools for the mental training of our youth. and churches for their religious culture: we need monumentsof heroes, “high places of the field.” to teach them patriotism and citizenship. . The winter quarters at Redding now comprise thirty-three acres—twelve acres donated to the state by Mr. Aaron Trend- wcil, of Bedding, twenty-one acres pur- chased by G. B. Jennings, Esq., of New York, at a cost of nearly flyc hundred dollars, and also donated the state. On lhis ground still remain the ruins of the barracks, guarding-house, ofiicers"quar~ quarter of a" mile long, and formingran, historical relic not to bc .cquallcd or up- proacltcd in interest anywhere in the na-' tion. All vestiges of winter quarters at Valley Forge, Morristown, Newburg, and New Windsor have been effaccd. This alone remains intact. So much the greater, therefore, is the obligation of the present to preserve it for the instructibn‘flnd- in- spiration of the future. ,- . .' The monument has been pictured and described in the public prints, and gener- ally commended. The committee assume that those who have expended public funds to the commendation of the people may be still further trusted. and that their re- cord is sufficient guaranty that the money will be properly expended. Charles Burr Todd, secretary of the committee, has been appointed to receive subscriptions and attend personally to the expenditure of the moneys, and has con- sented to waive important professional on- gagefnenls, and to accept the trust. Your contribution is respectfully solicit- ed. Please address C. B. TODD, Secretary.

He, with his wife. had recently moved from Five Mile River. On Wednesday evening Joseph was coming from his home to the city, walking on the down track and he stepped off of that on to the lip track to let the 6:54 train pass him, just in time to be picked up by the tip train. The back of his head was com. pletely crushed in and his body was cov- ered with bruises. Medical Examiner Burke was called, but the poor man died in a few moments and his body was taken to Undertaker Gregory’s rooms. He has been employed at. Wilson’s Point, but be— ing undcr consulerablc expense of late leaves his wife in very poor circumstances. The marriage of Miss Helen Josephine Slater and Mr. Eli Sturges Bennett was solemnized at the First Congregational Church, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The church was handsomely decorated with plants and flowers, and previous ' to the arrival of the bridal party Miss Jennie K.- Nash discourscd some sweet music on the organ. The space reserved for spec- tators was filled, as is usually the case in the event of a wedding. The followin; gentlemen acted as usners: J. E. Slater, brother of the bride; Ed Bennett, brother of the groom; Frc~I Lauder, Minot Smith, John Cavan'agh and Howard Holmes. Mrs. Isaac D S. ilurlbutt, of New York, was best man and Maud and Ethel Slater,- sisters of the bride, were bridesmaids. The bride wore an elegant costume of surah silk and the bridesmaids were dress- ed in white lawn. Rev. Edward Ander- son ofiiciated, using the Episcopal service. John A. Slater, father of the bride, gave her away. At the conclusion of the cure- mony a reception was held at the residence Of the bride on Seymour place, and an elaborate collation was served by Caterer Mead. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett received a large number of handsome and valuable presents. There wasa large number of guests present and some elegant toilets were worn, but a lack of space prevents us from describing them. The bride and groom departed on the 5:50 p. m. Shore Line express for New York and will be absent about two weeks, going as far south as Washington where they will spend a few days. Conference Appointments.

' :There was a good attendance at the Temple of Honor Hall temperance meet- ing on Sunday. Though no salaried speaker was present, it. was demonstrated that persuasive admonition, earnest, yet forbearing appeal to conscience, form much more suitable means of correction and restraint than any adopted by the Prohibitionists. Those who listened to the eloquent dis- course of Rev. Mr. Ross on Sunday night, the subject being “What is the Gospel,” had it abundantly proved that it was not fanaticism. Mr. Louis Nash and family have been , in the city some days ready to occupy his new house on Elm Wood avefiue, but finding it unfinished, are stopping at the house of Mrs. T. H. Nash, his mother. A novel sight was presented at the city meeting Wednesday night at Temperance Hall. Probably the majority present never were in such a place before. It was evi- dent that few loving‘people were there, and though everything was planned before- hand, there were those present who in- sistcdthat public money should be ex- pended legilly and judiciously. The plans and expenditures wcr: all voted through. . Washington Cliap‘tcr,'No;‘24: R. A. M;',"‘ WESTPOR T. [ML 1“. H .

Right Rev. Bishop Williams visited the memorial church of the Holy Trinity Sun. day evening, preached and confirmed eight persons. There was a large con- gregation. Tlic clergy present besides the Bishop were : R v. A. N. Lewis, rector; Roy. Thomas A. Hyde. of Christ Church, and Rev. James E. Coley, of St. Matthew's church, Wilton. The effects of the March blizzard are seen in all the village cemeteries, in to'mb- stones blown down aiid broken, notably that in Willow Brook to the memory of the late William S. Jones. This stone, of white marble, was one of the firmest in the ground. It was originally erected in Christ Church cemetery. The health of William Wood is reported to be in a precarious condition. The funeral Of Mrs. Anna Palmcr, relict of the late William R. Palmer, whose death, at the age of 70 years, took place on Thursday last, was held on Monday morning from the Church of the Assump- tion, where Mass was said by Rev. Father Carroll. The remains were taken to Calvary cemetery, L. 1., for burial. De- ceased leaves three sons and three daugh — ters, the latter being connected respectively with convents in Bridgeport, New Haven. and New Britain. I~Icr late husband was a prominent contractor for the Govern. ment, and at the outbreak of the rebellion had contracts for the construction of cus: tom houses at Charleston, S. 0., and New Orleans, La. . The stockholders of the First National Bank, of which Mr. Horace Staples, now in his 87th year, has been president thirty- foiir years, have been notified to meet April 27, to consider the expediency of reducing the capital stock of the bank from $300,000 to $200,000. This bank is one of the starinchest in the State, and has not missed a dividend since Mr. Staples ‘ indentified himself with it. . . The annual meeting of the fire police, which was to have been held last Tuesday has been pOstponed to Tuesday, May 4. The New York M. E. East Conference has assigned Rev. T. R. Cooper to the care of the M. E. church, Saugatuck. Thursday, as a. man was ploughing west of Grccn’s Farms depot, a snow bank was seen on one side of the field, and water run in the furrows as‘ the sod was turned on the other. Saturday potatoes were planted in the field. A monument of Westerly granite weigh- ing 26 tons, recently erected in Willow Brook cemetery to the memory of the late Jonathan E. Wheeler, is one of the finest of the nineteen monuments standing in that ground. It is 12 feet high. Plain in its outline, and without ornamentation save at ’the capstone base, it is in its massiveness a fitting remembrance of the character of a citizen known all over the State, and whose personal worth was up. prcciated most by those who knew him best. .

A freight steamer, the Sarah Thorpe, which will probably make two round trips to New York during the coming season, and the expected arrival and departure of more than the average number of. freight vesscis, suggests that it would be a good plan for the Government to appropriate a sum for digging out the canal throughGreat Marsh. Such a work would have a three- fold bcnefit—assist vessels, enhance the prosperity of Westport, and aid in reduc- ing the treasury surplus. On Saturday the Filley stove foundry took a $10,000 contract to supply a New York mercantile house with ornamental iron fire baskets for fire places. The day and night telegraph operators at the depot say they are glad the tele- phone has been removed from their office, as it is quite a luxury to be relieved of the “Hello’s,” ‘fWells,” and “Whats thats” which had been almost continually heard during three years. ' Mrs. George C. Lees, of New York, spent Sunday at the new home of her nephew, Mr. Robert Lees. ‘ A grandson of Mrs. Lees, aged 12, is at present resid- ing in Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. The ladies sewing society of Christ Church are to meet Thursday evening in, , the church parlors. Work at the factory of the Lees Manur- factnring Company continues steady as a clock, a sort of reproof to the strikers who are disturbing themselves and employers .in other parts of the country.

Died January'l9, 1810, Aged 72 years. From this it would appear that there is anachronism as to the year, though the storm evidently occurred in either 1809, 1810, or 1811. As to the day of the month there is no doubt—December 24. . The sum received by the village library and reading room from sales of Mr. A.

The May number of Harper's Magazine is less, perhaps, than usual. William Black’s “In Far Lochabcr,” deveIOps an unexpected turn, and strengthens the reader’s interest materially. The three short stories, “The Adventures of Two Men,” by Miss Julia D. Whiting, “Au Unpromising Marriage,” by Miss Annie Bigclow, danghtcr of the Hon. John Bigc- low, and “Lamentations of Jeremiah Johnson,” by Ruth Mchcry Stuart, are bright, and contrast pleasantly with one another. The supply of poetry is propor- tionate. Miss Rives contributes some charming verses asking “Why ?" and Richard E. Burton declares the reasonable inferences of a 'certain “If SO.” There is a beautiful illustration for Wordsworth's sonnet, "Mount Skiddaw,” the work of Alfred Parsons; while E. A.
