NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26 1890

 

I

NE WUANAAJV.

The commission appointed to examine
Raymond’s Hall report that it is unsafe.

Captain B. D. Purdy was laid, up last
week with a light attack of pneumonia.

Rev. D. M. Seward occupied the pulpit
of the Congregational church last Sunday,
the pastor preaching in the First Reformed
church in Albany, N. Y. '

St. M ark's Episcopal church has called,
as the Rev. ill. M. Fothergill’s successor,
Rev. E]. R. Neide, of Syracuse, N. Y. .

A few years ago a Methodist church on
Long Island caused the arrest of a man
for spitting tobacco juice on the carpets
of the house of God, and the offender was
lined $.35. One of these days a similar
thing is going to happen to some dirty
men, who are so little influenced by

.8899”: people. or moved by a 8059“,]! one.

5f the cardinal principles of which is
cleanliness, as to leave their filth outside

the churches of New Canaan. Elements
.35 conversion ‘. A tooth brush and a bar
of soap. '

Mrs. Sarah H. Davis, of Sll'v‘el' Mine,
died on Saturday, 15th inst., of pneumo—=
‘nia. Deceased was the mother of nine
children, eight of whom and her husband
survive her. She was in her 75th year,
and had lived in Silver Mine nearly- 50
years. Her funeral was largely attended
‘on M‘o‘nday, 17th. Rev. M. Scofleld, of the
Methodist church, of which she was a
member all her life, officiated.

If Arza Raymond makes as good a lamp
lighter as he did an expressmau, and no
one doubts he will, our village will have
more light than it has ever had in its
history.

All manner of contradictory reports, to
the effect that Dr. Parker and Dr. Lam-
bert will rrnt their summer residences
this season and spend the summer else-
where, engage the attentioniof the town.
But one thing at present seems settled.
Mr. Allen, who fora great many years has
hired a cottage on the “Ridge,” will not
come. Yet this may turn out untrue. At
any rate there is not the slightest evidence
that New Canaan is looking backward.
One foot is out of bed and the borough
officers are trying to get the other out.
We are waking up, and, when we get our.
face washed, let the world hold its breath.

We report, on good authority, that atra
recent, meeting of the Port Chester, Dan-
bury& Ridgeficld Company plans were
matured for commencing the work of
construction. Should the information
prove correct Danbury before long will
be forty minutes closer to New York than
now, ltidgefield will be less isolated, and
New Canaan will come in for her share of
the advantages of shorter time and more
numerous trains. ' ‘

Mr. Fabricatti denies the report that the
fine residence he built last season is for
sale. He likes New Canaan and proposes
to come this year as early as possrble.

Mr. E‘. M. Northrop and family will:
return to this town from Hartford about
April lst.

Mr. James Hoyt, of Stephen Hoyt’s
Sons, proposes to contribute a series of
articles to “The Country Gentleman.” No
man is more familiar with agricultural
affairs in this section.

Mr. J. F. Siliiman is painting his place
of business throughout and J‘s—arranging
his large stock, which includes anything
froma mowing machine to a mackerel
When he gets to rights he will have one

of the largest and most attractive stores in

the borough.

Hiawatha was a. niceman,
Some Indian and an Iceman.
And he harvested Wampawam, ,
Wampawam ’neath the ridges,
Not this season, but last season,
For the very excellent reason

- No ice formed the Wampawam ;
But laughed he at our Iceman 3
Smiled at big Injuu nice man.
Hiawatha, the Platonic,
Fled him to the Housatonicl

' Byand by will grin sardonic
When he feels the rise thermomic
Will raise the price, we say it,
Put we up, too, all and pay it I
Pay the great king of frozen water,
Good king, our Hiawatha. '

At the last moment Rev. Mr. Kidd. of
the Baptist church, found himself, by
reason of a severe cold, unable to attend
to his duties on the 16th inst. His wife
was equal to the emergency, however.
She simply took his sermon and delivered
it, and conducted the services in a most

acceptable manner.
The pastor of the Methodist church is

vpreaching a series of Sunday evening‘

sermons, which are illustrated by large
painted pictures of scenes in the gospel.

Burrisdr. Mead are enlarging their place
of business to meet the demands of their
extensive trade.

JosephF.Sillirnan,,Jr., is home for a
two weeks vacation from his studies in
Lafayette College.

Mrs. M- A. Hopkins, mother of the
pastor of the Congregational church,
visited at the parsonage last week.

A“board of trade” is proposed. We
need something of the. kind, and the

growing business of the town will doubt-
less provide somethinglof the sort in the

near future.

Merit Wins.

We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling Dr. King’s
New D scovery for Consumption, Dr.
King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Amlca
SaIVe and Electric Bitters, and have never:
handled remedies that sell as well, or that
have given such universal satisfaction-
We do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time. and we stand ready to refund
the purchase price, if satisfactory results
do not follow their nee. 'I‘lrew remedies
hrvr- won their great popularity purely on
their merits. H. R. IInle, druggist.

There are many forms of nervous debil-
ity in men that yield to the use of Carter’s
Iron Pills. Tln so who are. troubled with
nervous Weakness, night sweats, eta,
thou'd try them.

Our Bridgeport Letter.

The concert given by the Bridgeport
Choral Society at the Souterhurch. on
last Thursday evening was a grand affair.
The chorus numbered about 200, and the
singing was beautiful. Mr. S. S. Sanford
is deserving of'gre'at praise for the splen-
did entertainment.

Hincks & Johnson, the carriage man-
ufacturers, and the successors to Wood
Bros., have built one of the handsomest
bridal coaches ever made in this country.
The interior is of white brocaded silk
imported from Paris. The handles and
the steps to the driver’s seat are of gold.
The lamps are also finished in gold and
mounted by a figure of “Cupid.” The
post of the coach is nearly $2,000, and
Wes lli'ltii.’ for Mr. F. Johnson, of New
Orleans.

Edward F. Donahue, of Simsbury, last
Thursday evening, was walking on the

salmon. sack lust above the depot»
‘ Louis-1‘

and it is supposed he attempted to UV“...
the train, and, slipping, fell under the
wheels, cutting off his right leg. He was
taken to the Hospital here his limb was
amputated just below the hip, but he died
in a few hou s. ..

Our new Post. Office is nearly up to the
first story. It begins to look like a very
substantial and handsome building.

The strike of the WeaVers of the Budge-
'port Elastic Web Go. is causing the pro-
prietors a great deal of trouble. They
have lately put in new and improved
machinery, by which they thought the
work could be done a little cheaper, 'but
this seems not to be the main cause of the
trouble. It seems the firm have in their
employ one or two men who are not,
members of the Union. The union men
insist upon these men being discharged
before returning to work. > .

Captain John Rylands, our new Chief
of Police, is doiuga grand work in the
way of purifying our beautiful city, from
the corrupting influences of disreputable
houses, gambling rooms and policy shops.
He is like a good General, not only
planning‘t‘he campaign, but leadinglrit's
men to battle and victory._ He has been
ably and promptly assisted by Prosecuting
Attorney Chamberlain, writs having been
issued for thenrrest of the. offenders, who
have been brought to justice and con-
victed.

Hon. P. T. Barnum arrived in New
York, from Europe, on Saturday, and is
stopping for a few days at the Murray
Hill Hotel. He left his wife with her
parents in Southport, England. She will
return in the early part of the summer.

Mrs. Will Byington, Miss Sadie Lewis
and Miss Ann Guilford. of Norwalk, were
here on Tuesday last, and spent the day
with Miss Lillie R. Kissam.

Major J. C. CrOWe, of your place, had
the honor of being elected to the office of
lieutenant-colonel of the Fourth regiment,
C. N. G. Col. Crowe, having served in
the late war, and for a number of years as
an officer in the gNational Guard, will
doubtless make a good officer. and his
promotion is well merited.

Col. 0. B. Ilall delin red one of his
interesting lectures before. the Historical
Society, on last Friday evening. to a full
house. His subject was “Local Reminis-
cences.” He told some funny incidents
of his early days, over sixty years ago.
and gave his experience as an office
holder in various capacities, and kept his
listeners in good humor during his hour
and a half talk. , The Colonel is a grand
old man, and it- is said that he has not an
enemy in the World.

REDDING. , _
Last week Wednesday there ,was a
heavy snow storm. The snow covered the
ground to the depth of several inches.
The next mending ’sleighs and sleds were
used. In the afternoon the snow had so
disappeared that those who went a long
distance on runners, had no little difficulty
in returning home,

Thursday the real and personal pro-
perty of the late Mary Bailey was sold at
auction. Mr. J. B. Beers bid off the small
place for $130.

Mr P. Agnew, who presides over the
manufacture of butter at the Clover Farm
Creamery, took a vacation last week.

Mr. J. B. Sanford is agent for the Quin-
nipiac fertilizers and Mr. J. L. Blackman
for Bradley’s Crocker’s 4% Mapes’ fertili—
zers.
