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

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

whether she was using it to kindle the
fire with is not known.

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.

The paint on the much abused demo-
cratic banner that waves forlornly in front
of Wheeler’s building is something like
the platform of the democratic party. It
will not bear the strong sunlight of public
inspection, and the pictures of democratic
nominees are fast fading into oblivron—
an omen of what is to come. The reading
on the banner is hardly discernible, and
by the time the campaign is well under

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 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.

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.

A Legal Tilt.

Last Friday the residents of State street
were treated to a regular Sullivan —Mitch-
ell mill between lawyers Joseph 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
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-

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.

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-

' 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,

The musical and reception by Miss
Lulu Sturges and her music scholars at
Sturges Hall Friday night, was a pleasing
success and while the renderings were
mostly by beginners, the result indicated
the careful work of a teacher who, under-
stands herself and who pursues music
more for the love of than the profitiu
money from it. _Miss _Sturges being
scarcely out of her teens has displayed an
energy in "her study, and developed a
talent and ability which are creditable
alike to herself and those in her charge.
She was heard in several piano duetts,
four hands, and in two vocal solos, “0
Leave inc not,” and, “Now Thou art
Mine,” in all displaying good execution.
She also played accompanyments to most
of the vocal selections. The other ladies

Merchandising iS-only one part of the
Store idea.

We make that part as thrifty as we know how. In
sunrise or sunset lands, or at home, no new thing can be
produced but we find it out, if it is a thing that should
be here. That you know very well if you know the
store at all. And you know that getting things on our
shelves grinds their prices to the lowest point.

From January to January, busy minds are planning
new things and better things for you. There is no “good
enougli”.point for us. Better qualities, better shapes,
The yes-
terday standard won’t do for to—day. ' The look is all the
time ahead. . ' .

And yet buying and selling is only one part of our
doing here.

While we are reaching out to the ends of the earth
and bringing in big money’s worths, there is just as car-
nest thought to make your coming here pleasant Whether
yo'u buy or not.

That is the Other side of the. store idea.

It is something to know that in the very heart of
this great cityis a Meeting and Resting Place where you
are always welcome. Checks for your parcels, (no mat-
ter how many, no matter. 110w often you come), Reading
Rooms, Retiring Rooms, and not a. cent- to pay. Walk
about, look about. You won’t attract attention. Hun-
dreds, maybe thousands, are walking and Iosking lust
as you are. The place don’t seem like an ordinary store
—-—inore like a grand Fair or Bazaar. You don’t feel that
every sales person’s eye is on your pocketbook. You can
study the styles and the stuffs. You can see the score.
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. You realize that you
are welcome as a. looker-on.

We try to make the store seem more like home to
you than anywhere else you can go outside your own
door.

THEN. MR All CUMPANY. —
