Grover Wilson states that it took every Democrat that could be found in town to make out the list of vice-presidents for the free trade club. If this be true, it accounts for the names of several gentlemen being on that list who voluntary signed the roll of the Harrison club. Charles Werner a German baker who works for DeKIyn, while scuffling with his wife Sunday over the possession of a new pistol he had bought, was horrified when it went off and shot his wife in the arm, because it was another case of ”fool- didn’Lknow-it-was-loaded.” Treasurer Hyatt left for Washington Sunday evening quite under the weather. Mrs. Hyatt went back with him on ac. count of her husband’s illness. Somehow the political situation here in Norwalk just now isn’t very conducive to the good health and peace or mind of the average Democrat. « While Grace McConnell of Bridgeport, 13 years of age, was fighting the fire Sun- day, her clothes ignited and she was so badly burned, that death took place in a few hours. It is said there was a strong smell of kerosene around the stove, but whether she was using it to kindle the fire with is not known. Thc'Rccot-d is for genuine'democracy and its columns are not for sale to the Republicans. Can all are local papers prove themselves as “square."———_Record. The GAZETTE is for Harrison and pro- tection every time and its columns cannot be bought by the advocates of free trade— Next. During Lawyer Seymour’s free wool speech to the free trade party last week, some tariff man present called out, “How about liatters‘ fur, Mr. Seymour?” “Oh, that will be attended to,” replied Sey- mour. We believe our hatter friends un- dcrstand what attention it has received at the hands of the free traders and will vote accordingly in November. It is stated that the Democratic free trade party being at a loss for a suitable badge have counterfeited the G. A. R. badge. The only difference is that the miniature stars and stripes flag which con. nect the two parts of the Grand Army badge is replaced in the Democratic badge by a like flag of the same length and breadth, but of only three stripes, and is a counterfeit of the Rebel flag. —Nearly three times as many pieces of salteeus and challis'havc been sold by the D. M. Read Go. this season as they have ever disposed of before. If they had not. the correct styles, good value and new stock this would not be so. Every piece of wash dress goods now on their shelves is from invoice received since the warm weather and represent the choicest pat- terns. Thcy furnish so many excellent and exclusive styles that cannot be found elsewhere that it is often remarked about by customers. The men who harm a town may be found among those who oppose improvements ; those who don't advertise ; those who run it. down to strangers ; those who distrust public men; those who show no hospital. ity to anyone; those who hate to see oth- ers make money; those who treat every stranger as an interloper; those who ask two prices for property; those who put on long faces when a stranger talks of locating; those who oppoae every public enterprise that does not appear to be a personal benefit to themselves. * Mr. John S. Seymour informs us that he can no longer countenance and support the Mechanics’ Journal, because he is “a free trader first, last, and all the time," and because we believe in protection to American industr . While we deeply re- gret the loss of It r. Seymour’s patronage, we cannot, however high our personal re— gard for him may be, change our senti- ments so as to suit his political theories. Politically speaking we bid our old friend farewell and fervently hope that on his rojectcd journey to Salt River and to IEngland he will enjoy the most pleasant weather as well as the approval of his own conscience. Adieu !—Meoh¢mica' Journal. And still the democrats deny that they want free trade. ’ Messrs. Moore and Lyon, two Danbury engineers, with that ingenuity character istic of its people, have invented an appa— ratus by which all the cars of a train can be heated by hot air direct from the loco. motive. On investigation of this remarka- ble invention it seems to present fewer objections than any similar scheme yet. devised to attain the object, namely to do away with heating cars by steam or by stoves. At any rate their theory has in— spired business and railroad men with sufficient confidence to form a company with $100,000 capital to push the inven- tion, and Mr. James S. Taylor is at pres- ent busy with its formation.—Mechanics Journal. The patent on this invention was issued yesterday, and was secured through the patent agency of Geo. R. Byington.

The reading on the banner is hardly discernible, and by the time the campaign is well under way there will be nothing left—Standard. The Union Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor of Norwalk and South Norwalk met at the- Baptist church, South Norwalk, Monday evening. The meeting was opened by singing, in which the choir of the 1st Congregational church led, and followed by an excellent prayer by Rev. Mr. VanAlstync, after which re- ports from the delegates to the Chicago Convention were read. The attendance was quite large, and the meeting a most enjoyable and profitable one. At the annual meeting of the Norwalk Fire Insurance 00., held on Thursday, the following gentlemen were elected directors: Geo. G. Bishop, W. B. E. Lockwood, Wm. C. Street, Geo. B. St. John, Geo. R. Cowles, Asa Smith, F. St. J ohu Lockwbod, George E. Miller, J. A. Osborn, E. L. Boyer, Dubley P. Ely, S. Y. St. John. At a meeting of the _direc- tors held immediately after the annual meeting, Wm.

A semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. was declared pay- able Aug. 1, 1888. 0, The Boyt’a Barns Again Burned. Sunday evening at about 5 o’clock flames were seen pouring out of the great born of the Stephen Hoyt’s Son’s Nursery Farm. The fire rapidly spread and soon four buildings were in ashes. One barn of 45x72, capable of holding 150 tons of hay; two cow houses, one 20x60 and one 20x73 ; one horse barn 30x60; with a basement finished in the great barn for a milk room and stabliug forty head of cat- tle and two silos. In the barn and cow houses there Were not far from ninety-five tons of hay, forty shocks of wheat and about five hundred shocks of rye, and a new harvester and reaper. In the horse barn were about sixteen tons of hay. All the horses, stock, wagons, harness &c. were saved. A favorable wind, and al- most super-humane exertions on the part of the HO) t4 and their great army of help, saved the two packing buildings, quarters for their men, and kitchen for their meals. This is a terrible loss coming so soon upon the last similar disaster and amounts to fully $10,000, with $7,200 insurance. The cause of the fire is not positively known, but it is supposed to have had its origin in spontaneous combustion. ,ooo WHITNEY’S An'r STORE, } So. N ORWALK, July 31, 1888. FRIEND G! ZETTE :— - It affords me great pleasure, (now that. I have returned to Norwalk) to learn that. the coming Agricultural Fair will be mainly managed by Nor-walk people. You will re- member how for fifteen years I made alarge exhibit of photographs each year. Now I am with my sons on a “higher plane" of Art, with the works of the most celebrated artists in etchings, engravings, oilpaintings, etc. We propose (if space can be secured) to make a show of pictures that .will rival the show we made in Danbury, and that was said to be the finest ever made in the state, covering fifty-two feet of wall and seventy pictures on exhibition. Of course, one object is to advertise our business, but a higher object is to cultivate the taste for works of art. There can be no doubt as to the edmational value of the pictures. To become capable of telling the good from the bad, to decorate your rooms in good taste and keeping, to ,become familiar with what is, and be able to recognize improvements as they come, to feel at. home discussing matters pertaining to art growth, these are broad fields with abundant pasture for ordi- narily busy people. I earnestly hope that Norwalk people will take an active interest in the fair this year. E. 'T. WHITNEY. _.._ __.__‘,_,____ Y. H. C. A.

Gray and Edward M. Lockwood. The fracas started in a war of words and ended in Gray striking Lockwood in the head. Mr. Lockwood being a quiet. gentlemanly young man, and not used to arguing in that style, proceeded to defend himself to the best of his ability. That he succeeded in a manner not entirely satisfactory to Gray is apparent, as Gray's right optic is carried in a mourning sling. Saturday Gray pleaded guilty to assault and was fined $3.00 and costs by Judge Coolidge. . -O.~>~———— A Life Scholarship In the Yale Business College entitles the holder to perpeptual membership in the institution and to all the privileges of the prescribed business course.

O In Love With nil Wife. “What can I do to regain my husband’s love '1" writes Mrs. Carrie R., of Toronto. She adds that seven years ago she was married under the most happy auspices, and, until .six months since, happiness crowned her domestic life ; then her hus- baud became distant in his manner tow- ard her, until now he is positively cold. Mrs. R. gives no details, but if she is af- flicted with diseases peculiar to women if her checks have lost their bloom, and her eyes their sparkle, it may explain the cause of her. complaint. In this event Dr. Picrce’s Favorite Prescription will ef- fect a magical change and restore her to health. As a powerful, invigorating tonic, Dr. Picrce’s Favorite Prescription imparts strength to the whole system, and to the womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, “worn out," “run- down,“ debiliated teachers, millincrs, dress-makers, seamstresses, "shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, “Favorite Prescription” is the greatest earthly boon, being un- equaled as an appetlzing cordial and re- A Letter From “Body.” CANAAN, Conn , July 28. To THE GAZETTE :—Sitting in the shade of the paternal “vine and fig tree” and finding refreshment not only in the shade itself, but in the sense of relief from. the monotony of printers’ proofs, typo— graphical errors, and the shrill shriek of the Devil’s peremptory bowl for “copy!” this rambling missive is penned. The balmy zephyrs that toy coquettishly with the writer’s flaxcn ringlets bring With them a grateful sensation of rest and healthful vigor that. amply compensates for the trifling annoyances of ants and grandaddylonglegses and other frisky scr- ‘ pcnts that give their unmistakable demon- strations of cordial welcome to their grassy mounds and shady bowels. This letter is not designed to give either an elaborate or an adequate description of those attractive features that have made the Housatouic Valley and the Berkshire Hills the Mecca of summer pilgrims from ‘all parts of the country and Europe. They have been immortalized by poet, painter, author and historian; yet none with any sense of appreciations of the glorious and sublime in Nature, can journey through that entrancing region with his eyes open, without being impressed with the convic— tion that “the half has never been told."— This cpistlc is simply a rambling letter from occasional notes jottcd down in the roamings of a vacation kindly granted by the senior of the “old GAzE'rTE" to‘allow the writer to seek relief from the asthmatic "homes” of the pestilential hay fever, and in this connection it may be pertinent to remark that faith in the cfilcacy of a “change of air” is strengthened _by the fact that while I have left the salt water air for the hill regions to escape from the hay fever, I learn that parties from these _same hill regions have gone to the salt water air regions to escape the same com- plaint. A goodly proportion of the old GAZETTE’s readers are more or less familiar with the entrancing features of this section. Old Canaan offers many attractions to the summer tourist, and is just now at the _ zenith of its summer vivacity. Various private boarding houses are filled with city people, and that excellent hotel, the Warner House, is full to overflowing with guests from New York, New Haven, Bos- ton and other metropolitan centres. The shores of the Twin Lakes, four miles west, are dotted with the tents and barracks - of city campers including a goodly number of prominent citizens of Brldgeport,among whom are the families of Vice-President Stevenson of the Housatonic railroad ; Julian H. Sterling, the accomplished and imaginative writer of the New York World; the Bishops, and other well known busi- ness and professional men of Bridgeport. Among the out.of-town people in Ca— naan at present are the Misses Merrill of Norwalk. . - On Sunday last the writer attended, with brother Masons of Housatonic lodge, No. 61, the funeral of Dr. John Scoville, at Ashley Falls. Deceased was 85 years of age, an uncle of Rev. Samuel Scoville of Stamford, and was one of the “oldest Masons” in either Massachusetts or Con— necticut—in both of which states he had an extensive practice as a physician—hav- ing been a Mason for sixty-two years. Hon. Judge M. T. Granger, Congress— man of the Fourth Congressional District, is a life-long and honored resident of Ca— man and is now at his home here by ad— vice of his physician who impresses upon him the imperative necessity of his re- maining away from Washington where the climatic conditions are such as to im- peril the health—and even the life—of the Judge in his present condition of tempera- ment and strength. The Judge of course views the pending campaignfroma demo- cratic standpoint and predicts the success of the democracy in Connecticut “pr0vid- ing the great mass of the voters will look at the issues in a light that consults their own interests and well being.” A. T. Roraback, Esq, a delegate to the republi- can eonvcntion at Chicago, who is a suc- cessful and prominent lawyer here, sees things through different spectacles and is sanguine in his expectation that Harrison and Morton will carry Connecticut and the country. Mr. Roraback was postmaster of Canaan until the Cleveland administra- tion came on deck, when be promptly and emphatically sent in his resignation and demanded its immediate acceptance on the groundsthat he could not consent to hold any office under an administration which could have neither his sympathy nor his political support, and which was in duty bound to confer its post offices upon those who could offer both. I was enabled on Thursday to see the most delightful portions of Southern Berk— shire in its most inSpii-ing garb, and under the most favorable circumstances. Reach- ing Gt. Barrington by the Housatonic rail- road—to whose management, by the way, more than to any other agency, Berk— shirc's glories owe the widespread reputa- tion they have attained, and the aristoc- racy, wealth and social caste that have been attracted there to enrich and enliven and beautify the natural layout of the several towns and hamlets—we are invited by Colonel 11. W. Wright to accompany him on _a pleasure drive among the sum- mer resorts. It. is a peculiar privilege in itself to have the gallant Colonel for a travelling companion as he is an accom— plished and eutertatning conversationalist with a rare fund of anecdote and wit and is perfectly familiar with the country visited. Behind the Colonel’s handsome and speedy black pacer we skimmed iner- rilv over the splendid roads leading over hills and through valleys ; against the craggy sides of precipitous mountains, past thrifty farms and noisy manufactor- ice. The route led us beside the famous Monument Mountain which rears its per. pendicular heights of rocky crags and jut- ting promontories far above the plain. A ' large mound built up of cobble stones near the base of one of the highest cliffs marks the place, according to one tradition, where an Indian maiden flung herself to a horrible death because her father, apower- ful chief, refused to consent to her mar- riage with her cousin. This romantic spot is full of Indian ' traditions, some of them as old as the rocks themselves, others of more recent origin, invented by just such interesting. guides as the gallant Col. Wright who is never at a loss for a traditionlto fit any particular cliff or crag that attracts the attention of a companion, and who can manufacture a tradition quicker thitn any other man in Berkshire county. Mount Everett, on the Taghkanic range looms up on the distant left, standing 3800 feet above sea level, and on the right Beartown ' Mountain rises grand and majestic, where, from his wild retreat, old “Beartown Bube," the weather prophet, supplies the natives with such weather as the season affords. On passing over the line into the beautiful town of Stockbridgc the gigantic stump of an elm tree is point- ed out which measures thirty-two feet in circumference. In the branches of this tree a band stand grew in the olden time, and open air concerts awoke the echoes of the distant hills. But now the tree and- its hand stand and concerts are remember- ed only by this monumental‘stump, and the only music the neighborhood knows is the joyous warble of the happy birds and the occasional twang of a passing lyre from Gt. Barrington. Stockbridgc is very generally conceded to be the most beauti— ful hamlet in Southern Berkshire, although the adjoining village of Lenox enjoys the distinction of being the summer residence of a “higher—toned" class of guests. Stockbridge is fnr more lovely, as regards natural attractions, entrancing drives, magnificent residences, while Lenox's chief claim to pro-eminence is in the high grades of the distinguished people who summer there, and the exclusivcness of its aristocracy. It .is given me on good - bottle. zer, editor of the New York World, who summered in Lenox last year, was treated snubbed by others, in whose nice dis— crimination the fact that Pulitzer’s income from his paper is $600,000 a year is of no moment when it is taken into considera- tion that this income is dependent to a considerable extent upon mechanical work. Mr. Pulitzcr’s family is not in Lenox this season as the great editor was unable ‘ to secure a house either large enough or luxurious enough. Among the distinguished people now in Lenox arc Secretary of the Navy, Wm. C. Whitney and family, at the Col. Haggcrty cottage; Mrs. Wm. II. Vanderbilt and daughter, New York; John E. Parsons, Jake Sharp's lawyer, New York; Judge John Davis, Washington; H. M. Bracr’n, Danish Consul at New lork; Geo. West- inghouse, the famous car brake and heat- ing inventor, Pittsburg; Brayton Ives, New York; Count Argo, German minis— ter, Washington ; Mrs. Theodore Freliug- liuysen, Miss Grant, known as the belle of Washington; the Belgian consul who stands erect under this overwhelming burden of titles:—“Le Comic Gaston di Arschot, Conseillcr de la Legation dc Bcl— gique," and many others. Mrs. President Cleveland is expected in Lenox next month as the guest of Mrs. Secretary Whitney. o The drive from Lenox back to Gt. Bar— rington by the way of I-Iousatonic leads an added charm to the variety of the trip and. enables the sight seer to admire and the Colonel to eloquently dilate upon the beauties of the “Stockbridge bowl,” a charming little lake; the palatial resid- ences of David Dudley Field, Henry M. Field and the inspiring landscape views which seem topicture a-dream of Para- .disc, and which no rambling description could begin to do justicc.~—But this is al- ready too long. J. R. . , LH._;-- .' ' Cutting An'air. Saturday night as John Lloyd was walk. inghomc on the New Canaan road he was overtaken by awagon containing Benjamin Allen and Joseph Smith. Smith who was very drunk, spoke toLloyd as they passcd, and after going a short dis- tance, Smith jumped from the wagon and waited until Lloyd came up when be pro- ceeded to put. his arms about his neck and wanted to kiss him. Lloyd warned Smith that if he did not let him alone he would get hurt, and upon Smiths’ con. tinuiug, he struck him in the breast. Smith returned the blow knocking Lloyd down. Smith then got into the wagon and started for home while Lloyd ran off. When the wagon arrived home, Allen got out and went into the house for a lantern leaving Smith sitting on the ground. When he returned he found Smith lying on his face. and thinking him helplessly drunk called upon some neighbors to as- sist in carrying him into the barn. In their edorts to get him to the barn it was discovered that he was covered with blood, and upon making an examination it was found that he had a stab wound in his right side. Smith was immediately taken to the house of Selectman James, and Dr. Baldwin called, who pronounced the wound a bad one and stated that he would have died if it had been neglected much longer. The cut is in the right side between the first and second ribs, but (lid not penetrate the interior wall, and was evidently done with an ordinary pocket knife. Lloyd was arrested at home in bed Sunday morning and put in the lockup. ‘ I ' Ahearing was held Monday morning before J udgc Selleck and Lloyd plead not guilty and was put under $1,200 for ap- pearance today, with his mother as surity, ————u‘-O>——-—‘ so UTE-NOR WALK.

You can g0 01' come, hurry or loiter, or sit in a quiet nook and not for a moment feel like an intruder, or as _if anyone begrudged you elbow room. No one seems to see you or to care what you do.
