first act in the settlement of the town of
Norwalk and should be duly celebrated

mands that the unspoken language of the

Dr. Bridges reports that there is great
danger of that terrible and always fatal
horse disease—Glanders—becoming epi—
demic in and about Norwalk. He has
had some thirty cases since last May and
has several now in quarantine. He rec-
ommends that our borough water tanks

South Norwalk has already shut off their
watering tanks. Too much care cannot
be exercised by horse owners to prevent a

The view from the apex of the Rocks
Road Sunday, was one of superb beauty

summer purple atmosphere, with our ex-

001. F. St. John Lockwood assures us
that he has never requested and does not
desire the borough to grade the new street -
up through the Morgan property. That
indeed he would not permit the borough
to do so at the present time, but that he
does desire a lay-out and grade for a side-
walk, which he is desirous of putting
down from the James Bailey line south-
ward to said new roadway, in front of the
only lot he now owns on the avenue.
The statement that he is not furnished by
the borough with this lay-out for a side-
walk, that he so much desires, because
he wants the borough to grade his new
street, is not true, as we supposed it was
not when given us by Warden Coolidge.
A“gay and festch" party of Bridge-

and dined on the grass of the village

church, and, after a stroll about our
streets, hitched up their fiery steeds and
wended their way back to sinful Bridge.

Sunday School convention, at London.
There will be brief addresses, discourses,
etc., on a great variety of topics pertain-
ing to the superintendent’s work. Rev.
Dr. B. M. Adams, of Brooklyn, will give
the closing address Thursday afternoon.
The programme is a rich one and the con-
vention will surely be one of great value
and interest. ‘
Society circles are unwontedly stirred
by the wedding to take place this (Wed-
nesday) afternoon at the William S. Lock-
wood mansion. It is to he a very quiet
and unpretentious affair, but a very few
persons outside. of near relatives being
invited. Many rare and unusually rich
gifts have been sent the esteemed bride
by near and remote friends, while con-
gratulations, many and heartily sincere,
have been showered upon both the con-
tracting parties. In the eyes of their
warmest friends and our best towns-
people the marriage is looked upon as
every way becoming, appropriate, sensible
and happy, and suggests to the Gamma
scribe, while extending the liearticst con-
gratulations to the groom, that while it is
“better late than never,” it is also “never
to late to do a good thing." The marriage
of Miss Minnie Lockwood, niece of Miss
Hannah, is expected to occur in the course
of a couple of months. '
On Wednesday last a number of the
gentlemen long connected with the “Old
Parallel” or New York & Connecticut Air
Line Railroad scheme, met in Nethaven
and re-organized under the general Rail-
road law and filed articles of association
with the Secretary of State at Hartford,
under the name of the “New York.
Bridgeport & Eastern Railroad.” The
Board of Directors elected is as follows :
H. R. Parrott, A. L. Winton, George R.
Cowles, E. K. Lockwood, C. B. Coolidge,
George S. Forbush, William Rotcn, Thom-
as Browne, Charles B. lngersoll, W. W.
Douglass, George E. Spare,_C. B. Adams,
James D. Mowry. This action on the part
of gentlemen who have been so long con-
nected with this enterprise, and who have
done so much work and spent so much
money upon it, is a very strong assurance
they mean business," propose to secure
the rights which belong to them under the
general law and to construct the road.
The large number of people who favor
this project throughout this section will
be interested in this movement and will
take pleasure in forwarding .it by every
means in their power.--—.Standard.
