The establishment of a matrimonial bureau in Norwalk is in contemplation by a shrewd and enterprising gentleman of leisure. who sees a fortune in. the scheme of instituting a system of strictly confidential correspondence between our old maids of both sexes who are shy but willing.

The enterprising firm of W. B. Hall & 00., Bridgeport, last Thursday. had special excursions over the Housntonic road from Great Barrington and Danbury, to accommodate those who desired to visit their enormous store for holiday and other purchases. Both trains brought large crowds and the great Hall store was the busiest place in the city on that day in censequonce. The firm made it a spc cial inducement to excursionists by giving them a rebate on their fares. Judging by an interview Willi a clergy- man, Hartford must be a more wicked city than Bridgeport—Mefiden Journal. Then may heaven help Hartford! But how about Meriden?

A.’s new Secretary Wilcox, who, last week, went from Norwalk to lead the Meridenites in the straight and narrow way. The grand concert given by Miss Lila Willis, in the Opera House on Friday evening, attracted a fair-sized and appre- ciative audience. Miss Willis was enthu- siastically applauded and eucored at each appearance. The violin selections by Miss Bertha G. Webb, M’lle Blanchard’s performances on the harp, and the supe- rior playing of Miss Ida F. Seavey upon the piano, all charmed the listeners, and made one of the most enjoyable and meritorious musical entertainments ever given in the Opera House. Henry J. Kettendorf. for many years superintendent of motive power for the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road company, and later with the New Haven & Derby railroad in the same capa- city, died Friday afternoon at his resi- dence in New Haven, after a protracted illness. Dropsy and a heart ailment Were the cause of his death. The funeral occurred on Sunday and was attended by a number of railroad men from the Hon- satonic road, Colonel Stevenson having ordered a special train run to New Haven for their convenience. W, B.

Thel'annual town meeting will be held in thef'l‘own House on Tuesday, 31stinst., at 2, O’clock p. m., to hear the annual reports; to lay the state, county and town taxes,«including the support of schools to make the annual appropriations for highways, and to abate taxes of those entitled to such abatement who failed to apply to the board of relief. The editor of the Westporter, Mr. John S. thes, has been presented with a mini- attire firum made from the root of the old tree at Gettysburg, where the monument of the Seventeenth regiment now stands. The drum is mounted with gold and to be worn asa watch charm. The presenta- tion took place Thursday evening in the roomsL of Hobbie Post, Stamford, the presentation speech being made by Col. Henry'Huss, of New York, in behalf of the committee, (of which Mr. Jones was secr‘etgry), to whom was entrusted the care of the cane and gun-barrel recently presented to Hancock Post, New York City. A pious and Christian woman up in Pouifret, Conn.. was endowed one after another with a fine family of girls. She prayed that each successive one might be a boy, but in vain. She exhausted the good-bid list in supplying her girls with names. There were Faith, Hope, Charity, Patience, Mercy and so on. When the last wee stranger came she bewailed her lot too. neighbor: “If’thed been a boy I would a-known what tew name him tew oncetu But I kinder got tow the end 0’ the tether on girl names, ’ii dunno what tew call her excep’ I call her Amazin Grace. Thet’s out’n the Bible, and might dew.” James Russell, of Danbury, a coal heaver, got drunk Friday afternoon, and guided by the instincts which almost in- variably lead the maudlin drunkard, he staggered to the railroad track for a nap. Leaning his back against the coal-bin in the switch yard. be stretched his legs across the rail and was soon snoring, in a drunken stupor. A Norwalk freight train came along and cut off both legs without waking up the poor' wretch. He was packed up and carried into the baggage room and thence to the hospital, and even after coming to, after both legs had been amputated by the doctors, he was too driinkto fullyiealize what had befallen hiiii‘, grid he Ciii's’ed"'llic doctors and all around him with drunken volubility. He is 30 years old and has a wife and child. The Boston Journal has the following: President Bostwick of the New York & New England says he believes he can get $6,000,000 to build a road from New Haven into New York in Boston in ten days, and that lcs's than this amount would build it and give Boston a direct, natural, unimpeded highway to New York. There are reports current of im- pending trouble with the railroads con- necting Boston and New York. Frequent delay of trains by the New York & New England road has taken place of late be- tween New Haven and New York. An unfortunate freight train appears to be in the way at the most inopportnne moment, and - the relations between the New York & New England road and the New York 85 New. Haven road are said to be severely ‘strained. The Boston roads require an independeut‘road to New York, and it must come sooner or later. Since the announcemet in yesterday’s paper that the common council was con- sidering the passage of an ordinance for the creation of a commissioner of public works, many favorable comments have been heard regarding the move among the citizens of the city. For a long time the need of such an officer has been apparent. The city has now become too large to expect a man to give his time to the differ- ent departments, especially in the matter of the streets, scWers and health of the city—Sentinel. The above is a good suggestion for our incoming court of burgesses to make a note of. There is no reason why the superintendency of the water,sewers,light, health and highways cannot be centralized under one head and a competent man be appointed to see that they are kept in perfect order and repair, and we think that such an appOintment would result in large saving in the expenditures of the borough money. Then the assess- ment and laying of the borough tax should receive special attention the coming year. —Record. A sausage manufacturer over on Long Island has been accused of employing horse meat in his )business. There is no prejudice, we take it, against hippophagy, but most people who eat sausages would like to feel that a good quality of whole. some horses is used by the butchers.— Danbury Register. Certainly. There shoum be as much discrimination in the matter of chopped horse as in any other form of dead live stock. Those who have a taste for horse bologna invariably prefer high-bred Kentucky or Hambletonian sausage with a long, blue-blooded pedigree and a record for racing or reading achievements. But whether it be trotting sausage or broken- down street car sausage, it is desirable that the “ruling passion strong in death’_ principle be eliminated, and that every link in the chain of'cii'cumstantial sausage be free from those treacherous traits liable to subject the consumer to the glanders, the epizootic or the botts, or cause him to become a kicker or a'cribber. ' ' Company F minstrels will not repeat their entertainment in Music Hall. That was decided by a recent vote. It is not likely they will repeat, it anywhere, but they contemplate giving another show, with an entirely new programme, early in the spring. Sergeant P. Wade, of Bridgeport, has just received an autograph letter from Rev. S. F. Smith, of Newtown, Mass, the author of America, which contains both an acknowledgment of a slight favor and an autograph copy of the national song America, composed by Mr. Smith in 1832 when he was but 25 years of age. Mr. Smith has passed his 81st birthday, and his penmanship has apparently lost none of its symmetry, which seems remarkable. Mr. Smith is father of Mrs. J. D. Candce, late editor of the Standard, and has many friends in Bridgeport. Mr. Wade treas- ures the letter as one of the choicest of his large collection of relics. Afair. supper and entertainment, was givien by the ladies of the Second Methodist church in the Opera House on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings. Among the attractions wasa musical programme consisting of quartcttesxluets and solos; a frog drill by ten little boys; a doll drill by sixteen little girls, and a broom drill by thirty young ladies, who went through the vari- movements with precision and grace. Wednesday evening Major Crowc was presented with a handsome lamp, and Sergeant Brotlierton received a fine sofa pillowin recognition of their services in drilling the young inches. A bountiful supper was served each evening, which was well patronized. as was also the booths containing fancy articles. The whole affair was a success in every way, and netted a neat sum for the purpose of helping pay otlf the indebtedness incurred iu_repairing and decorating the church. A man giving his name as Raymond and claiming to be a book agent represent- ing aBoston house that deals in albums, bibles and illustrated books for children has been engaging in an extensive course of petty thieving in this section. Thus far his operations are known to have ex— tended along the line of the Consolidated . road from Milford to Nora alk. His ac— tions show that his book agency is all a pretence. and that promiscuous thieving of the sneak order constitutes his real business. Once admitted to’a house and given an opportunity he seldom departs without purloining anything of value that he can get his hands upon. His best hauls have been made at the houses where he was given accommodations for the night, and although a number of officers are on the lookout for him he is still at .large. At N orwalk he said he was bound for New York. It is suspected, however, that instead of keeping on in that direc- tion he turned and headed for Danbury. Raymond is a good looking fellow, about 25 years old, who has lost his right arm. lie is about 5 feet 8 inches in height, has dark sandy hair, a slight moustache, thin face With florid cheek bones, and wears a derby hat and a reddish-brown overcoat. So far as known he did not operate in - Bridgeport, probably thinking it, too risky. —Farmer. The scoundrel was captured on Monday and is now in Bridgeport jail. He gives his name as George Littlefield. A slippery sidewalk and a formidable “jag,” when brought together, make a combination—or, more properly perhaps, develop a mutual antagonism—that is at once pathetic and amusing for thp be- holder. This was demonstrated , on Sunday forenoon by an intoxicated man who looked as if he ought to know better, and acted as if he knew it himself, working his way laboriously up Water street, on the sidewalk which ice and trampled snow had rendered exceedingly diflicult of navigation His acrobatic performances were somewhat at variance with the usual gymnastics of a circus ring, but they were none the less interesting to the apprecia- tive spectators who wowed the eortortions from their windows on either side of the street. His necessarily unsteady footsteps constantly jeopardized his equilibrium, and at every slip he put out his hands to brace himself against a post that wasn’t there, gesticulated wildly for an instant, then measured his length across the walk with .a force that knocked asuppressed grunt out of him like the explosive croak of a frog. Then he would at once engage in the difficult task of getting up again, which took longer and required more labor ' and diplomacy than the downfall, and, on being accomplished was followed by a “lightning sit-down,” a feat executed by throwing both feet up ‘into the air and coming down on the pistol pocket with a force that drives the upper end of the crupper-bone through the tip of the hat. And so he worked his weary way to the corner, leaving behind him at frequent intervals the impression of a sickening thud- iu the path. On arriving at the corner where the walk had been cleared, he braced himself against a lamp-post, ran his hand suspiciously down his right leg while his face assumed a woe-begone and startled look, slowly went for his hip pocket and pulled out fragments of a whiskey bottle that had been unable to withstand the numerous shocks, and sadly threw them away; then he wiggled slowly-off, walking as if a ram-rod had been sewed into the lining‘ of the rightleg of his pautaloons, down which the lost whiskey was trickling. . Two DOLLARS A YEAR NUMBER 51 Edward Lobdell, for several years bag- gagcmaster on Conductor Smith’s train on the Danbury & Norwalk road, succeeds Conductor Lynch as conductor of the “New England” freight, running bet ween Wilson Point and Hawleyville. Conduc- tor Lynch is now in charge of what is known as the night freight. On Monday evening, in response to a call for a public meeting for the purpose of organizing a board of trade, a good- sizcd and representative crowd assembled in the Opera House. J. Bclden Hurlbntt, Esq.,was chosen chairman and Carmi Hubbell secretary. Mr. Hurlbntt stated the object of the meeting, and in the course of his remarks uttered some caustic and pointed truths. He said the borough of Norwalk was the deadcet community in the state, and was practically like the dead man who walked around simply to save funeral expenses ; that for enterprise. push and public spirit she was far behind the age, outstripped even by our little sistercity South Norwalk. with her smaller population. We are permitting large and most desirable manufacturing concerns already established here, to mow away without making any protest or Sign of inducement for them to remain, while other towns are ‘liolding forth every en couragement to induce manufacturing and commercial institutions to settle among them. Hon. James W. tlyatt spoke in much the same strain; said we were dead and rusting out; we need a chestnut burr put under us to wake us into some sem~ blance of life. He said there are no less than five large factories and eleven stores now unoccupied and lying idle, and ac- cording to the backward progress we are now making it will be but a Short time before there will be fifty stores and facto- ries vacant in our midst. He offered a suggestion, which was voluminously scc~ ondcd, that the meeting organize itself into a board of trade, enrolling every person present as a member. A committee of three was appointed to nominate a presi- dent, treasurer and secretary, who shall select a standing committee of ten to visit other cities and endeavor to induce manu- facturers to locate here. Messrs. Hyatt, Coolidge and Couch were appointed the committee, but Mr. Maples was substituted for Gen,Couch,thc latter declining to serve sayingthat while he would willingly do his Share toward the advancement of the borough, he felt himself incompetent to serve on a committee whose duty it was to appoint ten men to undertake the for- midable task of finding tenants for those sixteen vacant factories and stores. The nominatingcommittee reported these nom- inations, which Were unanimously elected by the meeting: J. G. Gregory, presi— dent; Wm. A. Curtis, treasurer; E. J. Hill, secretary. The committee also sub— mitted the following names as a committee on by-laws, etc., to report at the next meeting on Thursday evening: B. W. Maples, J. Belden Hurlbntt, Jas. Toner, John H. Lee, R. B. Oranfurd. This com- mittee was elected. Chairman Hurlbntt then suggested the advisability of some 'eash contributions to enable the institution. to carry on its work. Coolidge warmly endorsed the suggestion and emphasized its necessity by stating that some five years or] so ago a board..of trade was organized here, of which he was amember, and he never knew that they had ever dene them- selves nor anybody else one bit of good, for the reason that they had no money. Mr. Maples stated that while he had‘no ambition to be the first nor yet the last contributor, he would willingly head the list with a subscription of $10. There was considerable speech making before the ball was fairly in motion. Mr. Keeler advocating warmly the idea of running an advertisement the year ’round in each of our local papers, setting forth the advan- tages of Norwalk as a manufacturing centre, and finally fetching up on his “new hotel hobby,” which developed into a little good natured discussion between himself and Mr. Hurlbntt, who contended for mannfacturin,r first, the hotel later. Kecler insisted upon the hotel first, which would attract manufacturing They fin- ally compromised on the proposition to have both the hotel and busy factories. Subscriptions were called for and there was a liberal response, asfollows: J. Belden Hurlbntt $25, J. W. Hyatt $50, F. St. John Lockwood $50, E. O. Keeler $50, Jas. Toner $10, Charles Gehebc $5, Adams & Haulon $15, Coolidge & Lock- wood $23, Carmi Hubbell $5, :Dr. Bald- win $5, John Madden $5, P. H.~Dw_yei' $5, A. ,Avison $5, 0. E. Wilson $10, W. A.
