NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5 1890

 

SO U TH-N 0R IVALK.

At this writing the weather appears to be
more I. C. '

Miss Minnie Duncan is visiting Mrs. F.
D. Lawton on Chestnut street.

A very valuable dog was thought to be
lost or stolen, one day last week, when its
owner was about to ofler a good reward for
its return carpenters at work in a house di-
rectly opposite, reported that a very fine
dog was shut in the attic. The lost dog was
there found, having been unwillingly im-
prisoned a day and night.

At the city meetings there is always more
or less animated but good natured discus-
sion upon public matters, and often jokes
are made. It was said of one of the most
persistent opponents to the laying of a
Water main, that he cared very little for
water as he seldom used it.

There has been very much comment on
the recent action of the mayor in causing
the Sunday law to be enforced. It certainly
has had a good effect, but should be enforc-
ed upon all, or none. Its enforcement,
partial though it he, does not prevent those
who wish, getting peanuts, cigars, candies,
or drinks, from some source, for many come
from up-town fully stocked with all these
commodities. . '

Mr. Grant of Five Mile River, conducted
the exercises at the temperance meeting on

Sunday, in Grand Army Hall. Interesting ‘

addresses were made by many of the broth»
ers present. Rev. Archibald Wheaten will
conductthe meeting next Sunday, to which

ance of the roads on the part of the
highway inspector is being circulated for

perfect it would be well to pause and con-
sider ‘the motive of this scheme which is

ment and his political party.

Mr. Eli S. Butts is building a new barn
"and moving and repairing some of the old
‘Iarrn buildings.

Mr. Louis Vcrlin will be the “farm direc-
tor” of the Gunning ranch for the next
year.

Some offline land owners whose land will
be flowed‘by the South Norwalk reservoir,
'not beingmble to agree with the city au-
thoritiesas to compensation, the damages
will be assessed by a commission of apprais-
ers consisting of the Hon. N. R. Hart:
of Stamford, Col. H. K. Scott, of Ridge-
‘field, and Hon. Thomas Sanford, of Red-
.ding. .

The railroad commissioners were at the
