man. He was a son of Mr H. R. Parr-ott,

Advice to Mothers.
Tire engagement of William C. Endi—
colt, son of the secretary of war, to Miss
Are you disturbed at night and broken of
born October 21st, 1805, in the ancient
house which occupied the site whereon
the Masonic Temple now slan 's, Herc,
during the periods of happy girlhood and
young womanhood, she was blest by the
devotion of doting parents, and with the
fond intimacy of affectionate brothers and
sisters, and afterward wedded the late
Samuel Lyncs, Esq., of New York city.
For many years subsequent to marriage,
she resided in New York, where her chil-
dren, Benjamin, Joseph and Sophia, were
born, but after her husband's purchase of
the Issues property she returned to her
native homestead, in which she has spent
the delightful evening of her days minis.
tcring counsel and comfort and herself
being ministered most lovingly to.
Her departure recalls the fact that our
older venerated ones are first taking their
leave of us, and also reminds of the
changes which time has wrought in Nor-
walk. When she was a child the brothers
and sisters tripped gaily across the almost
unbroken meadow which lay to the
south of the Issues estate, down to their"
grandfather’s, Dr. Richard Bryan’s, sunny
and hospitable harbor home, on what is
now known as Beatty street, while the
sisters' nearest companionslivcd with her
mother, Mrs. Eliza P. Selleck, in the old
time house, still standing, on the north~
west corner of West avenue and Berkeley
place. Mrs. Lyrics remembered the past
with warm interest, and yet, even to the
horizon’s verge, where earth and heaven
mingle, rationally enjoyed and helped
others enjoy the golden present. A life
long member of St. Paul's parish, she died
in the communion of the church, and,
after the funeral services, on Friday after-
noon, on Wall street, will be interred in
the family tomb in St Paul’s churchyard.
That Proposed Parallel.
From present indications it looks as
though the petition of the Housatonic
road for permisgicn to increase its capital
stock is striking the members of the
legislature and the general public in a
favorable light as one that should be
granted. '
The road wishes to increase its branches
and furnish a direct means of communi-
cation by rail between New Haven and
New York. That such a line is needed is
evinced by the feelings of the towns along
the sound shore, whose only connection
with New Haven and the metrt polls is by
the Consolidated road, which is not able
to furnish facilities necessary to accom-
modate the traveling public and the ship—
pers of freight.
A Telegram-Record reporter recently
visited several towns in the sections
spoken of above and found the popular
feeling strongly in favor of the proposed
new line. Said a former New Yorker,
who. a few years ago, purchased a resi-
deuce in Greenwich: “Itis as plain as
the nose on your face that something has
of to be done. Here are a number of as
people who do business in New York and
reside in Connecticut, along the line of
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad. We were promised that our
convenience should be considered in the
matter of getting to and from the city,
and for a time it was. But under the
present management of the road matters
have got into a general muddle. All last
summer-I would leave New York every
evening expecting to arrive home at 6
o’clock, anti it was ofteucr 7 or half an
hour later before the train pulled into my
station I am not the only person who
has complaints to make. as you can read-
ily ascertain by inquiry.” ’
In Norwnlk, Stamford and Southport
the same feeling was found to exisr.
Nearly every one interviewed was in
favor of the new line, and did not hesitate
to express a hope that the petition of the
Housatonic would be granted.
People livrng at this end of the state
have no idea of the importance attached
to the matter in the towns directly inter-
ested. There the people li ive been under
the domination of one road for so long,
subject to the capriccs of its managers in
he matter of trains and accommodations
that they hall with joy an opportunity for
a release from such bondage.
Merchants and shippers of all kinds of
freight have been compelled to pay exhor-
bitnnt rates for transportation, for the
simple reason that they had no other
alternative. Willi the opening of a new
line these practices would necessarily
cease. Tire competing lines would vre
with each other in offering improved pas
seuger accommodations and increased
reighting facilities nudvit would prove
be greatest blessing that the legislature
could confer upon a populous section of
the state—Hartford Telegram— Record.

Rogers, Post 6‘: Co's. Dinner.
Messrs. Rogers, Peet & Co. the Broad -
way Clothiers of New York, (whose nd—
vertisement appears in our columns each
spring and Fall.) gave their Fourth An-
nual Dinner to their employees, at the
Metropolitan Hotel on Tuesday evening,
January 22d. It was the anniversary
dinner in honor of the co-opcrntive system
introduced by the firm in 1886, which
gives each employee a percentage in ad-'
dition to his salary. The custom of this
house, since 1886, has been to distribute
among their employees a certain portion
of the net profits on each year‘s business
in proportion to the salary of each em—
ployee.
By the way, we hear that these enter—
prising people hive leased the building at
thecorncr of Warren street and Broad—
way, opposite City Hall Park, now occu-
pied by Devlin 6: Co., and will open a
branch house there next spring. This will
complete the chain of their outfitting es-
tablishments, as they already have one at
32d street and Broadway, in addition to
the parent house at Prince street and

Theodore Washburn stole nhuck saw
from Mrs. F. H. Nash Wednesday, but
she got it again. He then lifted (f) a
similar saw from the premises of Allen
Renoud, and in the village, not knowing
who he was talking to. tried to sell it to
the owner’s brother. This led to his arrest.
By Justice Finch he was fined $5 and

next day by deputy Driscoll.
The pilgrimage of ten good men to
Hartford last Tuesday, and the testimoney
of some of them before the Senate com-
mittee on contested elections, developed
about what the average observing citizen
predicted in regard to that package of
democratic ballots alleged to have been
credited to the republicans. The man
who started the story of the alleged error
was Mr John W. Gorham. who is sup-
posed to be an ardent advocate of demo—
cratic measures and principles. His ex~
amination direct and cross showed that,
while be suspected the error during the
progrcss of the count. he didnot call at-
tention to it, fearing that if he did,thc
democratic moderator would fire him out
of the hall, Gorlinm owned up to formerly
laboring for the success of republican
candidates. William J. Finch, the
moderator referred to testified that the
count and democratic majority on Nov.
6th came within one of what he had corn-
putcd. He also said the box was not
sealed (the law provides that it shall be
done forthwith) until the morning of Nov.
7th. It is apparent the committee will
not order the box opened for a re-count.
President Horace Staples, founder of

noon 39 persons responded to the veter-

85, his sister Mrs. Silllman 90. Gen.
Darius N. Couch and wife and Rev. C. E.
Torrey of Norwalk, Edwin Banks and
Minot Staples of Bridgeport and Rev. J.
H. Tufts of New Haven. At its close the
company proceeded to assembly hall in
'the school building where a vast number-
of friends had assembled. There was
scripture reading by Rev. Mr. Cooper, of
Ssugatuck,prnycrs by Rev. Mr. Torrey,
remarks by principal Stearnes, Music and
rccitutions by the pupils, a poem entitled
“Old Fine School,” by Prof, Bartley of
the Bridgeport High'school, and an ad-
dress to the founder by Master Chauncey
Harris, during which he presented to Mr.
Staples an elegant l9 mp equal in power to
85 candles, and an address-of congratula-
tion by Rev. Thomas A. Hyde. Mr.
Staples replying to all said in part, that
when he first provided for thebuilding
twenty years ago he designed that it
should be completed by his successors,
that he never thought of these commenda-
tions being heaped upon himself, although
it now might have that appearance. He
also said the school was truly dear to Irim,
and its accomplishment almost the highest
of his earthly ambition. Westport should
have had a high school fifty years ago.

There has been 'a good many eulogies pro-
nounced on New Canaan, but the story has
not half been told. It is destined to be one
of the lending towns in the state if not in
the universe, as the name implies, “Land
of milk and honey.” We have just entered
into a gigantic undertaking; we are going to
macadamize every road in the town ; we
have laid out about $600 on a little knoll.
We find we shall have to appropriate a mil-
lion. Thnt is nothing for us, as about every
man you meet is a. Vanderbilt. We have
but few if any paupers, in fact but .few‘ of
us know its definition. I should not have
known if I had not lived in Norwalk several
years ago. We shall soon be incorporated
into a city as the matter is now before the
legislature. I am booked for mayor and
Duff Nichols Port collector. When we
young Americans take the helm, we will
make things hum. When we get our char-
ter and our roads graded we expect all New
York will move up here, Broadway includ—
ed. Comparatively there is but little labor
performed here as our necessities do not re-
quire it. We shall not expect any of your
Norwalk people will come' into town, er
cepting your dudes. I quote a few lines
addressed to King George in the days of
the revolution, which is just the position
we hold to-day:
There are a wealthy people, who sojourn in
that land,
Their churches all with simples, most deli-
cately stand
Their houses like
and guy,
They flourish like the lilies in North America.
’the gallcys are painted red
Their land with milk and honey continually
doth flow;
The want of food and money, they seldom over
now.
They heap up gold and silver. they have no
debts to pay;
They spend their time in pleasure in North
, America.
On turkeys, fowls and fishes. most frequently
thev dine.
With grilfi and silver dishes their tables always
s me;
They crown their feasts with butter, they eat
and rise to play,
In silks their ladies flutter in North America.
With gold and silver lace. Hey do themselves
adorn.
The rubies deck their faces, lefulgent as the
morn;
Wino sparkles in their glasses. “N y spend
each happy day.
In merrimout and dances in North America.
