sideacc now being erected for Mr. James
[-1. Rollo has been movcd_to the little
' triangular plot before the house built some
seventy years ago by the late Governor
Bissell, and set up opposite to the front
gate, an elm being removed to make way
for it. Of course, the congregation of
horses and cattle and its results, and the
exchange of eourtesies between drivers,
not. always the choicest in language, may
not always be most agreeable to the sight,
smell and hearing of the occupants of the
old home, especially as they frequent the
piazza in summer; but some must bear
the annoyance, and why _not they, the old,
rather than the new ? Private interest
and pleasure must ever be sacrificed to
public improvement and convenience.
Out of consideration perhaps to the feel-
ings of the owner the change was made in
his absence and without 'his knowledge.
Of course his consent was not asked.‘

A Great Painting.
The Battle of Gettysburg is a subject
that interests everybody, a fact proven by
the continued and full attendance on ‘the
platform at the cycloramu buildii’lg‘, 541
Tremont St., Borton'. Every figure on the
canvas is full of life and action, and fire
seems to flash from the eyes of the artill-
ery horses as they rush madly into the
hottest of the fight. to release the disabled
cannon at the front. Few realize that this
year closes this great exhibition in Boston,
but. it is so. A new subject equal in every
respect ‘ to the present one will take its
place at the close of the season. Those
who fail to improve this last opportunity
to see the greatest of all American battles
will have something‘to regret all their
lives; but they will all see it if possible.

In September last the celebrated Till
Family, who constitute the “Rock Band
Concert Company,” gave an entertainment
.in the Methodist Church, Norwalk, which
was largely attended and greatly enjoyed
by all present. Many not attending rc-
grctted having missed a concert at once so
chaste and enjoyable. On the evening of
September 12th they will visit Norwnlk
again and give another concert in Metho-
dist church us before. They have twenty
musical instruments—among them the
great Rock Ilurnioulcou consisting .of
sixty pieces of solid rock. Let no one
miss of hearing them on the evening
named.

‘ A Hint.
EDITOR GAZETTE r—Permit me, through
the columns of the GAznr'rr, to call the at-
tention, of the officials of our TOWu, to
‘thc fafit that the entrance to West Main
St., has become positively disgusting. A
lady can scarcely pass while the morning
dew is glistening on flower and field, with-
out soiling her dress, from the tangled
over-growth of weeds. The opposite side
of the street, from Mr. Newcomb’s all the
way up in the rear, of Dr. Gregory’s resi—
dence, to Mr. Nickcrson’s is quite impass-
able; noxious weeds grow in great abund-
ance; the Wild carrot towers above every
thing else. throwing out poisonous exhala-
tions. If that sidewalk could be 1m—
proved, so two pcoplc could walk abreast
and those ugly weeds were cut down, it
\would really enhance the beauty of the
street, crestful to the weary pedestrian
who is obliged to cross to the opposite
side, and delight the hearts of all who
enjoy improvements. STRAY \‘I’Air.

Merchandising is only one part" of the
7 ' 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 toJ urinary, busy minds are planning
new things and better things for you. There is no. “good
enough” point for us. Better qualities, better shapes,
better service, is the all-the-yearAround aim. The yes-
terday standard wonft 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 bringingin big money’s worths, there is just as car-
,ncst thought to make your coming here pleasant whether
you buy or. not.
That. is the other side of the store idea.
It is something to know thatin the very heart of
this great cityis a Meeting and Resting Place where you
are always welcome. Checks for your-parcels, (no mat‘
for how many, no matter how 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 looking just
as you are. The place don’t seem like an ordinary store
——1nore 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 seers.
You can go or come, hurry or loitcr, 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 asa locker-0n. , y
We tl-yto make the store seem more like home to
