Too bad it doesn’t reach from curb to curb. Mr. John Arnold, foreman in Silver’s shoe manufactory in Tarrytowu, N. Y" formerly of Norwalk. is visiting in town. The resignations of Colonel Cone and the other oflicers of the First regiment have now been forwarded for the third time. Letter carrier John Healey’s infant daughter, aged about three years, died Sunday night, of inflammation of the rain. In another column the Merrill Business College has an advertisement which all who are looking fora business education should read. There will be a pleasant time at the public installation of the new officers of Buckingham Post, G. A. R., in the Ath- enazum this evening. Dr. W. A. Lockwood has recovered from a severe illness, and is now indefa- tigably engaged in alleviating the distress of other grippers. Secretary Simmons, lately placed in charge of the Norwalk Y. M. C.

Golden, of South Nor- walk, Conn., has been in town during the past week as the guest of Miss Maud Shores—Great Barrington News. Last Wednesday evening the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Osterbanks was celebrated at their residence on Chestnut street. Harry Hubbell, of South Norwalk, and Miss Sophie Jones, of Bridgeport, were married in Trinity church last Thursday evening, by the Rev. Olin Hallock. Our physicians are all kept busy attend- ing “grippe” patients. The number of cases in town is appalling, but no fatal results are reported or apprehended. Victor Selleck is to be cashier in the Norwalk savings bank, to succeed Mr. E. H. Parker, who 2will devote his entire time to his duties with the gas company. Rev. F. B.

Mr. G. is one of the best and most honest and reasonable merchant tailors in Norwalk. Give him a trial and you will never regret it, for there is nothing the matter with Gusowski, but his politics. William Hallock, of South Norwalk, employed by the Consolidated road, died on Monday morning, after a short illness of pneumonia. He was injured some years ago ina railway accident at Rye, and had been employed in an easy posi- tion by the road ever since. Charles Fox, of Stamford, has invented and patented a “cut-off and reverse gear” for steam engines, for which a great suc- cess is predicted. It is said that by Mr. Fox‘s patent an engine can be run sixty miles an hour with the same amount of fuel now required to run forty miles, thus making a great saving in the matter of coal. A neatly printed copy of the proceed- ings of the fourth annual “Gaudeamus” of the Yale Alumni Association of Fairfield County, which was given by Messrs. Ketchum and Eno, of Westport, has been mailed to all the members of the associa- tion. It contains the new constitution, by-laws, and the speeches of those who addressed the meeting. Mr. Van Burcn’s reconstructed and renovated mansion on West avenue is now one of the most attractive residences on that lively thoroughfare. It is vastly im- proved in the matter of coloring also, and wears the breezy and gay tone of so many of the Lenox cottages nestled in the Berlv: shire Hills of grand old Massachusetts. George Raymond’s new furniture store is a new departure for Norwalk, which all our people who feel an interest in all that tends to advance Norwalk, must rejoice to see. As choice and fine qualities of all the newer desrgns of plain and artistic fur- niture may now be found there in as great varieties as anywhere outside of the great cities. Do not fail to visit his magnificent emporium. The Zeflle Tilbury‘company’opi‘aned a week’s engagement at popular prices in Music Hall, Monday evening, with Romeo and Juliet, to a good house. The per- formance was of a high order of merit and was pronounced by good judges, equal to the productions of most high priced companies. They will do a big business in Music Hall this week. The new Council of the city of South Norwalk met and organized on Monday evening. E. E. Crowe was re-elected clerk; John H. Light, city attorney; Fred. S. Lyon, city assessor; John W. Dake and Matthew Corbett, board of relief; John A. Watkins, fire marshal; Samuel McGowan, chief engineer; Edwin V. Baker let assist - ant. and Wm. M. Raymond second assist- ant. ' The semi-annual election of officers of Our Brothers’s Lodge, I. O. O. F., Mon- day evening, resulted as follows: N. G., H. W. Kemp ; V. G., Franklin B. Greg- ory; recording secretary, B. S. Keith; P. S., St. John Merrill; treasurer, A. H.' Camp; trustees, Platt Price, C. H. Wheeler and C. L. Glover. District Deputy, Howard Mead, of Ridgefield, yvill install the ofiicers next Monday even- ng. Owing to a rush of matter and the fact that the “grippe” is afilicting some of the Gast-rn’s compositors, we are unavoid- ably compelled to cut down some of our correspondence, and omit several commu- nications entirely.

So we do it.” A pretty poem on the death of the old year, is going the rounds of the papers, credited to Alfred Austin as the author. The poem shows rare ability, and if it is the work of Al. Austin, the star of the Co.:F minstrels, it is difficult to conjecture his nigger show songs for him. That was a tender and delicate expres- siou of the popular sympathy felt by our Borough merchants, who on the occasion of Miss Edith Ambler’s funeral, without impulse, drew 'down their curtains, and passed by on its way to the cemetery. Prof. R. G. Hibbard, the eloquent reader and elocutionist, will entertain the people of Norwalk at the OpeiaHouse, on Friday evening, Jan. 17, under the auspices of St. Paul’s Sunday school. Admission, 25 cents; reserved seats, 35 cents; children, 15 cents. Reserved seats can be obtained at Hale’s drug store on and after Saturday next. Tickets can also be had at Jack- son’s, George Ward Selleck’s and Miss Agnes Fitch’s. The way to advertise, is to put your an— nouncement where it will be seen by the pe0ple you want to reach. The GAZETTE reaches about every leading family in Norwalk and the adjoining towns, and its columns are regularly and carefully read by the house. It is a strictly family jour- nal, and upon a fair basis of estimate, a constituency of not less than five thou- sand persons scan its pages each and every week. Further comment is unnecessary, for “a word to the wise is sufficient.” James R. Wood, formerly of the Sentinel and GAZETTE, and subsequently connected with the Bridgeport News, is thought to be the James Wood reported killed in a mill explosion in Pennsylvania. His brother, Editor Thomas W. Wood, of the Bridgeport Post, in writing of the missing man, says “he was always of a roving disposition and had traveled through a whole-hearted fellow, and lacked only application, to become a thorough and ex- pert newspaper man. W. A. Royce, of Bridgeport, formerly editor of the defunct Stamford Comet, has brought criminal prosecution against 0. E. Raymond, foreman of the Bridgeport Post, for libel, alleging that Raymond in- stigated the posting of libelous circulars on telephone poles, etc., in the city, warn- ing business men against trusting Royce. The affair is said to be the result of Ray- niond’s ineffectual efforts to recover $20 wages due him from Royce for work done in the Comet office some years ago. Both parties are well-known in Norwalk. During the past year Connecticut has lost one of her national banks, the number now being 84 with an aggregate capital of $23,924,370—a reduction of $100,000 since the last report. Their present surplus fund amounts to $6,871,379, and the un- divided profits are in the sum of $2,190,- 547. So far as their outstanding is con- cerned, there has been a reduction of con- siderable over $1,000,000 within the year. On the other hand, there has been an in- crease of individual deposits of over $2,- 500,000. T-heir total resources amount to $77,072,426, an addition of about $2,000,- 000. Ex—Senator Hill, now largely of the Norwalk Gas Co., (as we are glad to know), assures us that his company in- tends to introduce gas into houses for heating and cooking purposes, and at such special rates that our citizens will be glad to exchange the labor and soil of carting in coal and taking out ashes for the new and modern method of using gas in our stoves, ranges and furnaces, so. popular in other places. The gas company cannot do this too soon, and it ought to prove as largely remunerative here as it has elsewhere. Nothing would prove a greater accommodation to our citizens. , The Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A. held a special meeting Monday even- ing, and discussed the “various depart- mentsof the association work with the new general secretary. The new com- mittees were appointed as follows :—Ed- ucational, H. B. Wigham, Jesse Johnson and C. A. Tucker; Gymnasium, Nelson W. Benedict, James E. Hubbell and George Merritt. The German class will have its first lesson next Monday evening at 7 o’clock. Twelve names have already been received and it is hoped that the number will reach 20 before next Mon- day. The entertainment-and reception committees will hold meetings Wednes- day evening, to arrange for the social events of the association during the rest of the season. Rev. C. J. North, of the South Norwalk Methodist church, will: give an address to the young men of Nor- walk at the song service next Sunday niarly every state in the Union.” He was; v bur ,. The mangggicnds of Mr. William B. E. Lockwoodfihll be‘glad to know that he has entird'f recovered from his recent severe ailn‘i'ents. He was seen escorting one of hisit’i’est avenue friends through the bridge a few evenings since, and stepped along as briskly and buoyantly as a boy of twenty. ' aflonsiderable notoriety has given through stl’ite papers, to an alleged “abduction” by Clifford and Miinson Pardee, sons. of Dr. Pardee, of South Norwalk, of a child in Madison, Conn. As usual the facts are cb‘htorted out of all semblance of truth, and the details grossly exaggerated. The GAZETTE is credibly informed that so far from beige. an abduction, it was simply the restoraion of a child that had been abducted, to its rightful guardians. ,We are not to have a late train west on the Consolidated road just yet, but -- the Washington express will soon be put ou,on its old time, which will fill the bill. In reply to a petition from Bridgeport for a late train west, Gen.. Supt. Shepard wrote: While we can understand that a train of this kind would accomodate a few people one or two evenings in a week, it would necessitate the incurring of consid- crable expense for little accommodation. The matter has been carefully consid- ered by all of us, and, while we should be very glad to accommodate the people at stations between Bridgeport and South Norwalk, we do not think we can, con- sistent with our duties, incur the expense of, running the train as requested. We hope to soon restore the Washington express train about on its old time, when the train now leaving New Haven at 10.50 will be discontinued, and" arrangements made to stop the Washington express at _ Fairfield, Southport and Westport for the accommodation of theatre parties. Bridgeport had a sensation last Sunday night in the anticipation of a iiot between ,workmen on the Housatonic road and others on the Consolidated. It appears that the Housatonic people, who own land over which the Consolidated road inns, had arranged to build a “spur" across the Consolidated tracks to a side track of their own, which has not been used for some time. A large force of men were on hand to expedite the work, and an hour was appointed when no in- terference with trains would result The Consolidated folks, however, got wind of tlie;plau ; President Clark came to Bridge— port to swear out an injunction, and just before the work was to begin a long freight train on the Consolidated road hauled up and stopped directly upon the spot where the “spur” was to be laid, thus effectually blocking things until the injunction could be prepared. Hundreds of people gathered at the spot expecting a riot between the workmen but there was no trouble. Mayor DcForest, counsel for the Housatonic, will endeavor to get an early hearing on the injunction. The annual missionary meeting of the ladies of the South Norwalk Congrega- tional church was held in the beautiful ,parlors of the church Friday afternoon. A large delegation of ladies from uptown were present. Darien and other towns about were represented. The meeting proved to be one of unusual interest. It was conducted by Mrs. Biddle, wife of the pastor. A most admirable report of the Society’s work during the past year was read by the secretary. Miss Platt, and the removal, by death, of two of its most valued members, was very touchingly alluded to. Mrs. Gleason, of the New Haven branch, was present and made a brief address; also Miss Emerson, who is laboring among the colored people of the South. She gave an interesting ac. count of her work. Recitations by the "children’s branch of- the Society and music added to the pleasure of the occa- sion. The meeting closed with prayer offered by Mrs. T. K. Noble. Rufe Adams, the veteran tar roofer, tar walker and. 'clammer, went down the creek in about for clams the other day, and returned about night-fall with two large baskets full. He rowed up to the rocky bank in the rear of Ayers’ market, ran the nose of his boat up ontoaflat rock, picked up his baskets, one in each hand. and prepared to'alight. The boat was a rocking shell, and as Rufe placed one of his delicate little hoofs on the gun- wale, she dipped suddenly, and down went Rafe, like McGiniy, “to the bottom of the sea," clams and all. The water was up to his ears, and Rufe was encum- bered in a heavy overcoat. Notwith- standing his difllculties, however, he worked himself ashore, still clutching his clam 'baskets, and his first move was to look around to see whether he was ob- served. Then he set his baskets down, bailed out the pockets of his overcoat with his hands and wended his way to the street dripping like a drowned rat. To cap the climax-of his woes, his over- coat, which lie hung up in a yard to dry, was stolen, and with it a new‘psir of mit. tens. He says now that the days when there was any fun or money in clsmmin have gone by. L L The’lpromenade concert and reception given by Catholic Union Council, at the Opera House, Tuesday evening, was a brilliantly successful affair, and an occa- sion that will ever be happily remembered by all who participated in the enjoyment of the evening. The Council and manage- ment are to be congratulated on the suc- cess of their efiorts. Common sense, if nothing else, would suggest the probable truth of the repOit that the Consolidated road will soon ex- tend the New Canaan branch to Danbury. The cost would be trifling, and the gain to the road and to towns along the pro- posed line immense. No one doubts the ability of the Consolidated road to extend its line ifit so desires. It would shorten the running time between Danbury and New York at least thirty minutes and so not adversely to the interests of towns east of the line. But Norwalk’s loss would be Stamford’s gain. The almost universal prevalence of the “grippe” epidemic, and the multiplicity of gratuitous prescriptions promulgated in the newspapers, prompts a French gentleman who is one of the Gaznrrn’s subscribers. to send us the following, which, he imforms us, is the chorus of a song that _sprurg into instant popularity in France about 47 years ago, when “la grippe” was epidemic there. Among the peasantry it was sung as an incantation or charm to keep the plague off : ‘- J eune filleset jeune garcons. Prenez garde a la. grippe. Car si elle vous atrappe par les talons Ce sera pour tout de bon.” Our French compositor interprets the above to mean : “Young ladies and young fellows, look out the grippc, for if it takes you by the heel, it will be for good.” Un- doubtly if our grippe-strickcu readers will chant this charm iii the right air and the right spirit, it will be fully as efficacious in warding off the epidemic as nine-tenths of the newspaper recipes we read every day. The air is a sort of “fugue tune,” which will be taught to those who may be desirous of learning it if they will call at this office at any time when the “devil” has one of his irrepressible whistling spells on. The new quarters of the Fairfield County Savings Bank, provided for this safe and solid institution by the National Bank of Norwalk, are certainly very rich and at- tractive. The desks, counters and railings are of quartered, polished oak, while on top of the counter and desk railings an ornamental scroll of polished brass serves as a finishing crest. The directors’ room, the vault and toilet rooms are all richly furnished, well lighted and ventilated. The whole affair is creditable alike to the good taste of both banking institutions, and is such an advance on anything yet produced in N orwalk that the whole pub- lic should feel proud of these new and attractive features. But better than this substantial and ornate decoration of the banking room and parlor is the phenomen- al growth of this, the youngest of our Norwalk sayings institutions. Its man- agement has been exceptionally careful and conservative, and the interests of depositors are looked after in detail with a fidelity worthy of all praise. Its officers, one and all, are among our best citizens, who have no selfish or personal ends to serve by their connection with the bank as is too often the case. Its treasurer, Mr. James H. Bailey,is an exceedingly pop- ular young gentleman, and deservedly so; who has been thoroughly educated to the business entrusted to his care. May this bank’s prosperity continue to increase. John Wade can ride a horse, after all He demonstrated that fact a few days ago, to the complete satisfaction of the behold- ers, but to the intense disgust of the horse. He mounted a saddle pony near his residence on Maple street, at the in- vitation of the owner, w o assured him that the animal wasn’t loaded ; placed his feet securely in the stirrups, grasped the bridle rein firmly, gave the pony a vigor. ous tap with the riding whip, and was off—almost, for as the’horse started on a gait that was a sort of combination of the hop-skip-and-jump and a decanter, John bounced into the air and when he came down he landed just in front of the sad- dle-horn on the horse’s neck; his feet slipped out of the stirrups andhe hugged the horse tightly with his legs, clinching his feet together under the boiler; dropped his rein, grasped the horse by the ears and while the astonished spectators looked on in wonder and admiration at the ex- hibition of horsemanship which even John Gilpin could not equal, he brought all his persuasive eloquence to bear upon the pony, imploring him to "Whoa, Dobbin! I say whoa, d—‘d—- dobbin! whoa! I want to get off at the corner!” etc. A friendly pedestrian ran out and stopped the astonished animal; John let himself down, handed his preserver his gold watch and led the pony back, and as he placed the bridle in the hands of its owner he remarked that he’d try that over again meg. he had practiced a spell riding a bmsaw or the driving-rod of s locomo. five. Whenever that pony gets anywhere in the neighborhood of Maple street now he runs away. . GAZETTE. > Two DOLLARS A YEAR A NUMBER 2. 4 On Friday last, (January 3d,) Fred Hodshon picked a dandelion in his yard on Orchard street. This is no doubt re- markable, and dandelions are very pretty at any season of the year, but when they are picked in full bloom at a season when snowballs ought to ripe and crisp, it isn’t to be wondered at that the “grippe,” in- fluenza and other negative blessings of that nature abound. Duncan Clarke's female minstrels, who “showed” in the Norwalk Opera House two or three years ago. giving the vilest entertainment perhaps ever put on the local stage, were arrested in Steubcnvillc, Ohio, last Friday, on a warrant sworn out by the local Social Purity Society. charg- ing them with “unlawfully violating ordi- nance No. 272 by an exposure of person.” The Whole company was found guilty and fined $40. Curtiss, of the Berkshire News prints an amusing description of a New Year’s trip through Berkshire county in 24 hours, an ingenious satire on Nellie Bly’s tour of the world. Curtiss cssayed to “do” the trip in a given time, and accomplished it “with a quarter of a minute to spare.” A noteworthy feature of ihe tent was the statement that, as he wanted to go through Berkshire all flying. he came to Norwalk to-get a good Sldl'l. He writes: “A telephone message had been sent from the News office to request the prominent citizens of Norwalk to be on hand. and a brass band to be on foot at the depot to receive the daring voyager. But the mes- sage was side-tracked at Canaan by editor Beckley, and arrived to late to be of use. Editor Rodemeyer greeted the Saiintcrer warmly, asking how soon he would be ready to get under way again ; seemed relieved when he heard that the stay was to be brief, and excused himself." There is palpably a mistake here As a matter of fact a rural Vigilance committee on the lookout for 3 Bedding horse-thief, hap- pened to be stationed at the depot on that day, who took possession of every suspi- cious character that showed up, with the exception of one, who escaped and streaked it for dear life in thefiirection of Berkshire with a velocity that made the. wind whistle and moan through his? whiskers like the Wail of the damned. This may be simply a coincidence, ,but if it isn’t it is easy to determine at which end of the trip that “quarter of a minute to spare" was gained. For a man who is the whole year bending over a labyrinth of cold water rent figures, it is the most natural thing in the world that our friend A. H. Camp should, at the end of the old year, crave a little something warmer, thicker and of even a deeper color than our public water with which to fortify for the long cold water vista ahead of him for 1890. A mutual friend, as he supposed him to be, (but who must have been an enemy in disguise), seems to have “got on to” this idea and gave him as a New Year’s present a seductive looking black bottle, gaily decorated with an attractive label and graceful lines of corkage, which Camp gratefully accepted and bore home in all the joy and innocence of a boy with his first New Year’s sled painted red. On arriving home a warm friend chanced to be present, and it was but tlfe work of a moment and the natural instinct of his nature to draw that cork, and stop the fearful interest account on the contents, which the donor said had been running almost as many years as the old GAZETTE. The friend took one sip before Camp could get the supposed nectar to his lips, when agony, consternation and epileptic fits seemed to be struggling for the mastery in the victim’s epiglotis. Black in the face from strangulation he finally shouted: “Great Caesar’s ghost and all ye gods and little fishes, Camp, what is this .”v The now thoroughly terrified Camp could only mildly respond: “Why! why ! isn’t it all right 7 A dear friend gave it me for a New Year’s present and said it was the oldest and best bourbon in town. Why, what does it taste like?” “Taste like!” re. plied the victim, “try it yourself.” “No,” said Camp, “I’ll take your word for it.” “Why,” continued the victim, “it tastes like forty-horse-power pepper sauce, or maybe compound extract of J smaca ginger reduced with oil of vitrol. Why, my throat and month are all peeling off now. Same enemy hath done this, Camp.” Camp still per- sists that the donor really had no designs on his life, but by mistake took it off the wrong shelf. Camp’s faith in his friend, the giver, isa thing beautiful to see. ”Such was the innocence of Eden when the serpent sneaked into its bowers and ruined our unsuspecting mother Eve. The next quandary was what to do with it. He dare not throw it in the fire for fear it would blow the house up, and it be poured it out on the walk it would break the. paving stones like sovmuch dyna- mite. By a lucky chance Mayor Roddy McGinnis came shuffling up the street. Camp’s intellect always works quick in great emergencies. He called the mayor, in 7 Said he: “Roddy, I’ve a bottle of some newly patented resurrection hitters, which I will give you if you will promise never to take more than five drops at a time.” Roddy promised and.bore off the bottlein triumph, but Camp is in mortal fear of hearing that they have found a petrified man .st ' Cobble Hill.
