The mnskrats in Community Lake.
Wallingford, have been busy the past
week in building higher their houSes,
which last fall they made very small. The
enlarged houses are Shout the dimensions
of an ordinary hay cock. What the pn-
culiar little animals know of the coming
weathcrca loot be ascertained, but‘ such
an occurrence as raising their houses in
the spring has never been noted before in
this vicinity. Perhaps they are preparing
for another blizzard, or more likely for
the prospective spring i'rcshcts. Last fall
the houses were made unusually small
and a mild winter was predicted by the
old residents. Tire prediction proved
true, but what the new departure means
can only be surmised.

The Connecticut legislature is wrestling
With a great question. The lower branch
nus passed a hill providing that the owner
of any hen that tl'cspasses upon the prom
uses of a neighbor to hrs injury shall pay
1 firrc of $7 therefor. Even if this meas-
ure rs acerlpted by the Connecticut senate
ind hecomcs a law, will peace and bar-
mony smile henceforwurd upon the land
.f wuod. n no megs? The deprcuations
illd mahorous mischief of hens have been
for ages the most frequent sources of un-
oharhablencss and war between rural
neighbors. Fining the owner of a hen
Will have no deterrent and reformatory
effect upon the hen a confirmed poacher
and “redeemable gadabout. It will make
her owner angry and not increase his love
for his neighbor. We cannot regard the
Connecticut remedy as a real remedy.

Pittsficld, Mass, came near having a
repetition of the blizzard on blizzard an—
nivcrsary. The snow fell to the depth of
about ten inches, and was blown by the
high west wind into huge drifts, especially
on the hill made. The trains were some-
what delayed, bath)! the constant use of
the snow ploughs they were kept running.
The next. day they came on time. The
storm was far less severe than the one
which visited that region a year ago.

The agitation of the matter of building
a suspension bridge across the Hudson
river at St. Anthony’s Nose, recalls the
fact that the same project was under dil-
cussion more than 20 years ago, and the
Gszs'r'rn, in its issue of March 3,1808,
contained a statement of estimates from
the engineer who was “to superintend its
construction.” There is nothing new
under the sun to which some reference
cannot be found in the back numbers of
the old GAZETTE.

 

The Canaan News gives this graphic de-
scription of at recent fox hunt in that
town? _*“Therc was quite a lively fox
hunt on thc‘mountaiu west of the town
one day last week. Nine men and five
dogs were engaged in the pursuit of one
half—grown fox- After running till the
dogs were tired out, and having dodged
a shot from each of the nine ‘crack shots,’
the fox mounted a large stone and barked
several times, which was probably his
mode of bidding his would-be slayers

‘frir‘ewell.’ "

John Ericsson was one of the? world’s
heroes. His brain coined the magic. that
was a ‘main instrument in saving the
boundaries of our great land from igno-

when the poWers of Europe stood ready
to recognize the disloyal states, it would
havegone hard with this Union of ours.
That dramatic arrival and the presto
change of defeat and havoc into victory
have gone into history as one of the great-
est battles ever waged. The monitor

In the Supreme Court, Friday, Christina
M. S. Gunning, of Norwalk, was granted
a divorce from Thomas B. Gunning, on
the ground of intolerable cruelty. They
were married May 25, 1836. Mrs. Gun-
hing is a niece of Leland Stanford, the
California millionaire, and is one of the.
most estimable young ladies in Norwalk.
Mr. Gunniug,'who is-supposed to be in
South America, is the individual who
moved to Wilton a year or so ago and
astounded the quiet country people there
by his lavish expenditures. He bought
with his wife’s money hundreds of acres
of land, stocked it with high grade cowa,
purchased the ' best-jghotfscs ,._that money
could procure, and-Spent ove‘r_0500,000 in
huge buildings,.clectn‘c light plants and
in the erection of water works. Later he
forged his wife’s name to several checss
and with the money thus obtained started

for Canada. He is uow'said to be leading
a wild life in south America—Standard.

of the Fairfield county caucus that nom-
inated Speaker Perryfor the judgcship of
the court of common pleas for Fairficld
county as successor to J udch. B. .Hall,
is leaking out in spite of attempts to
guard it closely. There were two can
didntcs, Howard Scott of' Dnnbury and
Mr. Perry, and a fight was expected. Tire
Scott party moved immediately to make
the first ballot'a formal one, fearing to
trust to .an informal ballot. There were
20 Fairfield county members present and
the ballot gave Perry 11 and Scott 9. The
Scott party had counted on 10 sure, and
the result surprised them. Hints went
forth that the fight would he continued in
the house. A bright young lawyer from
Fail-field county, one of Perry’s support-
ers, jumped up and urged harmony, say;
log it would not look well. to have it go
out that Fairfield county had given the
speaker ofthe house only a half hearted
support. ‘He argued for a unanimous
vote, and the motion prevailed. »Out—
siders were informed that it was a trunni-
mous vote, and the rest of the story was
\vitirlrcltl.——'Bfidgeport News. '

Thursday afternoon Chief Lockwood
took a tripfup to Cranberry Plains and ar-
rested Christopher Dn-ering and James
Landrig‘an on complaint of Margaret Nev.-
ins, who charged them with assault and
iritoxicatirin. They were taken before
Judge Sellcck for trial. Deering pleaded
guilty to intoxication andwas found guil-
ty of assault. Mrs. Nevins testified that
she lived in the upper part of Deering’s
house, and on March 7th Dcering and
Lun~rigau, who wore drunk, came up
stairs and Deering choked her and threat-
eucd to throw her out of the window.
Tire charge of assault against Landrigan
was nollcd and he was found guilty of
intoxication. Deer-lug was fined $1.00
and costs on each count and Landrigau
the same. Deering paid the fines and
Went out swearing vengeance. Landri-
gun, or “Smasher," as he is called, kept
the court room in smiles by his quaint
sayings and his bauterings of Deering, but
when his case was called he begged the
Judge not to send him to Bridgeport as it
was too near spring. He nearly danced
for joy when his fine was paid. _

The New Haven Morning News says :
“A :Gcrmau woman who registered her-
self ‘:Paulinc Eulere, Dcrrhe, Conn.," put
up at Nick Wenzel’s hotel, Waterbury, a
tow weeks ago, and “did” the town beau-
tifully in only two days. She had with her
alarge and handsome bunch orbouquct of
wax flowers in a fine glass case or globe.
Her scheme was this: She carried a sub-
scription book, on the front leaf of which
were these pathetic words:

These wax flowers will be chanced off
at American hotel, 2?. Grand street, Nick
chxel, for the benefit of the Widow Th.
Eulcre and inValid daughter.

“She traveled over the city soliciting suh'
scriptions for this drawing at 10 cents
each, and secured over 250 names in two
days, collecting the money and pocketing
it cheerfully. At the end of the second
day’s work she declared her intention of
going back to “Derrbc” and returning in
a day or two to attend to tho drawing.

llr. Wenzel suggested that she leave the
caseat his place until she returned. She
quibbled somewhat over the propositien,
but perceivmg that she was suspected left

l The walking match in the Armory Sat—
urday proved to be a success financially
l and otherwise. Saturday afternoon a
' large crowd were at the Armory, which
kept increasin'gf‘until thelclose of the race.
when the Arffiory was jammed. The
three winners in the race were Guerfler,
who made 58 rifles, and took first money;
Hampson, second, 54' miles and 2'lsps;
Hickey, third, with ‘58 miles and 10 laps
to his credit. The first than look. 45 per

was well conducted and well patronized
by the sporting fraternity.

‘ The Yale students who went 'to the
Hyperion Wednesday evening to witness
the presentation of “2020'? conducted
themselves ins manner which does not
meet with President Dwight’s ideas of
what a Yale student ought to be. The
performance wss bad enough, and it was
all the spectators could do to sit through
it, but the wirole affair was disgraceful
when the students tried to run the house.
They booted, whistlcd, stamped and made
things as unpleasant as possible and in-
sulted the s ‘ge people by throwing
pennies at themfi Miss Bessie Fairhurn,
the leading lady, who really was the only
person on the stage who knew her busi—
ncss, was struck in the face twice with
pennies. She complained bitterly of the
treatment she received after the perform-
ance and told slimming News reporter
that she had negot- heard of an actor or
actress rcccivingisuch treatment before.

“Thatboy next door" will be presented
in the Opera House on Tuesday evening of
next week, IOth'inst. Of its appearance
at Norfolk, Van, the local paper said :

The sudiencc‘thut witnessed the above
humorous plny‘at Opera House last night
might have been larger but could not
have been more enthusiastic. The play
abounds with the wildest of fun and is
strung upon a thread of pathos that
serves to throw out the comical situations
in bold relief. Of course those who ex—
pected to see a heavy play Were disap—
pointed, bnt the majority came. simply to
laugh, and laugh they did until the cur-
tain full. The‘ singing was new and
sprightly and the son 5 and dances, were,
without doubt,'the est ever witnessed
in this city. and. no doubt the audience
to-night will beamuch larger in numbers,
although they cannot be more pleased
than that of last night as was evinced by
the almost continuous rounds of applause
which greeted the excellent company of
comedians presenting the play. '

One day this week he met Thomas Garri-
gnu, of this city, in New York. Garrigsn
plead hunger and Lehart gave him money
with which to buy something to eat, and
also furnished him with transportation to
South Norwaik. In return for the kind-
ness Garrigan robbed him of an overcoat,
a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes.
Garrigan was arrested. Helmd the shoes
on, and told where the other articles could
be found. The overcoat had been disposed
of in Bridgeport, and the suit‘ he had
secreted under a stoop at his home. . Yes
terdny he was fined $7 and. costs, and
sent to jail for thirty days. Garrigau has
the reputation of being a “bad one."—

The wildest kind of sensational stories
have been printed during the past few
days in regard to the sending of Miss
Anna Campbell’s body from Pawnee Sta
tion, Kansas, to' her father, Isaac H.
Campbell, in Norwalk, C. 0. D. And the
matter has been town talk, so itlhad better
be explained. Miss Campbell was the
owner of a rauch'c near Pawnee Station,
where she had been living for a number of
years. She was a literary woman and was
in poor health, and as Kansas climate was
agreeable to her constitution she took up
her residence there. A neighbor, who
had been in the habit of taking care of
the stock on her place, did not see any—
thing of her for schral days last week,but
did not‘think anything wrong until Satur-
day morning, when he became alarmed,
and upon an investigation being made,
her 'body was found in a well into which
it is supposed she rrlccidentslly fell. The
undertaker who embalmed the body says
that he thinks she had lain in the well two
days before she was discovered. Her re-
mains were shipped to her father here, ‘0.
O. D., with an exorbitant bill—nearly $300.
When the body arrived at the depot it was
found that the undertaker, not satisfied
with sending, the remains C. 0. D.. had
sent a bill to Mr. Campbell’s son-in-luw in
Indianapolis, demanding payment of the
same bill from him. Not knowing but
that the bi l wouldrbc paid there, the body
was simply left in charge of the express
company at South Norwalk until the mat—
ter could be cleared up. Mr. Campbell
‘says the express'i'compsny treated film
with great consideration and has no fault
to find with them. The company say
their agent West had no right to receive
the body C. 0. D. Why the undertaker
sent the body first way when he knew
Miss Campbell’s estate would be surety
for his bill, is not ' known, unless he
thought his bill so'cxorbitant that when
the estate was settled the administrator
would not allow it." It is to be regretted
for Mr. Campbell’s fsake that the unfortn‘
natc circumstance has created cheap sen-e
cation for the special correspondents of
New York papers.

An exceptional treat is in store for the
music lovers of Norwalk. ManagerHoyt
has secured an engagement with the dis.
tiuguished young: prime Donna, Miss
Emma Juch and a talented company to
appear in Music Hall on Thursday even—
ing, 215i. inst., in grand opera .concert, the
programme of which will be found in an-
other columu, to conclude with the famous
garden scene from the opera of Faust.
Miss J uch has a worldwide reputation as
an artiste of superior attainments. and
there should be no doubt of the house be'
ing filled to its utmost capacity. Of her
rendition of Marguerite in, Faust, the
Pittsburgh Past says: “Sitting in an old.
fashioned oak chair in a simplc,whitc
costume, Marguerite turned the s inning
wheel. As the fiossy filaments fiutfed and
twisted. she sang with the artless grace of
a child, and the measures of the song
wound themselves into invisible wreath—
ings decking the i garden of the soul.
There was much that was majestic, much
that was grand, inspiring, nay, over-
whelming in picture and sound, in the
presentment of Faust at the Opera House
last night, but it was the supreme touch
of simplicity in that garden scene which
captivated all hearts’and held them at the
feet of Emma Juch. ‘Once there was a
King in Thule.’ as she sang it, was a per-
fect ideallzation. There Were just a few
straggling bars of music; then she took
up the burden of the simple song, and
sweet and low, she told the story. There
had been a fiuttcr _of fans, a rustling of
programmes and wonted burn that riser
from a big audience, but, as she voiced
the tale of the good king, who until death
had been faithful, there was a. sudden si-
lence, as if the hand of an angel had
swept away the little cares that cluster
round the heart and swayed the chord of
feeling. There was nofire nor fury in the
cadences, it was just the simplest of mel-
odies, but it was something that everyone
felt and understood, and now and then
the sparkle of a tear shone out in the eyes
of many there, as the story and its sug-
gestions reached the recesses of memory.

The scene was full of power and gum-
Miss J uch aru-thcr opportunity to display
the remarkable quality of her superb Vulce
and rare blah-Ionic ability.”

Bernard J. Canfield died Sunday morn—
ing, at 5 o’clock, at his residence, on
Washington street, South Nor-walk. Mr.
Canficld had been ill with consumption
for about five months, but was out on Sat-
urday feeling quite well. His friends
were surprised to hear of his death on
Sunday. The funeral services were held
at his residence Tuesday afternoon and
the remains were inked to Long Ridge
for interment.

At a caucus of the Fsirfield county
members of the legislature held Wednes.
day a resolution was adopted which rec-
ommends an appropriation of 000,000 for
enlargement of the Bridgeport jail. Ben-
ator Road, of Bridgeport;:Represontstives
Ferris, of Norwalk and Hurley, of
Brookficld, were appointed to set with
the county commissioners as s building
committee, and Senator Catlin, of Strat—
ford; and Representative Chichester, of
Wilton, were appointed as a committee
to recommend a plan of raising the
amount appropriated The need of more
room at the jail has been apparent for
years, and the crowding of the cells has
been, It times, very injurious to discipline
of prisoners.

Tire Danbury Prue says :.—-At. the police
station last evening there was an influx of
tramps that for numbers and variety was a
little ahead of anything seen in Danbury
for some time. In the large reception
room (9) for those wandering gentry,
“standing room only" was the order. In
the motly :crew there were young, old,
and middle aged, some blur-eyed, and
some bright. In the style of garments
worn it was indifferent and bad, but none
good. When they filed out of the station
this morning their appearance on the
street stopped the horse cars, and cons-
ments were made, but not of that nature
that are likely to be made on s regimental
dress parade. The number of tramps who
applied for lodging were about twenty.

Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Wood celebrated
their china wedding on Friday night of
last week. A large number of friends
were present, and, as near as a reporter
coulrl count, fifty-seven people set down
to the supper table, not including child-
ren, of which there were quite a number.
Among the guests were comrades of
Douglas Fowler Post, G. A. R., of which
Mr. Wood is commander, and members
of the Women’s Relief Corps, to which
Mrs. Wood belong. The latter presented
Mrs. Wood with a handsome china tea
set. Afterabountiful supper the com—
rades repaired up stairs, where pipes and
tobacco awaited them, and the ladies and
young people indulged in dancing in the
dining room. It was a late hour when
the guests departed for home after wish-
ing that Mr. and Mrs. Wood would be

spared to celebrate their silver wedding.

Good Housekeeping is a fortnightly or
waer-kly journal published every other
week the year round, thus giving 20
numbers a year, instead of only 24 as
would be the case if it were semi-monthly,
or 12 if it were monthly, and making two
large volumes of the best housekeeping
literature in a year. These points are
worth remembering.

account of Browning’s most striking pecu-
liarities in met ed and style, and attempts
to find an explanation of these in the
conditions amidst which the, poet has
worked, and in the nature of the, themes
which he treats. In the next place. an
eXposition ls given of those general ideas
pervading his work, which can only be
gathered from the study of many of his
porms, and yet are u‘eedful for the full
understanding of almost any one of them
This exposition is contained in a series of
chapters treating of "Browning’s Philoso:
phy.” “Christianity as presente in Brown-

brief chronological review of his writings,
and charactizatiou of his development.
Tire various points treated throughout the
introduction are illustrated by a series of
selected poems furnished with careful
analysis and copious critical comments.
It is hoped that by thus unfolding, in a
few typical examples, the characteristics
and merits of Browning, the reader may
at once be enabled to acquire a real
knowledge of his poetry, and be prep-trod
for further unassisted study of his m. k.

One hour and a half has proved to be
too short a time for the Sunday afternoon
service at the Union Gospel Temperance
Reform rooms. Last Sabbath Mr. Fox,
the president of ' the association, conduct-
ed the exercises, and was, nobly aided by
the brothers and sisters in singing and
testimony. The address of Brother fAm-
bler, from the borough, was just‘tofigihe
paint, and the testimony of the -3;mhny
young man who have just commenced to
work for Christianity and humanity was
indeed eheering.But the plea and testimo.
ny of a mother was more efiective, several
young men coming forward and signing
thn temperance pledge. ._ It seems unfor-

aid needed to carry it on successfully.
