This is said to be a very amusing and meritorious piece, and the impressron among those who know, seems to be that in securing“Struck Gas,” Brother Hoyt has “struck ile.” - ‘. Jelrn Cahill, the River street saloon :keeper,‘ died on Friday last, after only two days" illness of pneumonia, in the 4lst year of his age. He was one of the young- est veterans of the war, being enlisted toward the'close of the war.

XX. The GAZETTE says the highest guess on ' ”them beans” at Smith Brothers’ was 1,000,050. That’s just 5,000,000 too low. If.the that when he helped count the beans, that piano doesn’t belong to Frank Foster at all.——Reeord. Tire count was all right. Tire reporter cut down the highest guess 5,000,000 in order not to humiliate by publicity the idiot who thought a“- two quart measure would lrold 6,000,050 beans. Tire Bridgeport collectorship muddle is getting to be funny. According to the News, the principals and their friends held a meeting a few evenings ago at which a paper was submitted by the Disbrow fac- tion. Says the News: This paper whatever it was, in effect asked. Mr. Edmonds to “harmonize” by agreeing to hold the oflice in common with Mr. Disbrow—that is, make arrange- thatwould give Mr. Disbrow a liberal portion of the glory and financial receipts of the collectorship. Tire friends of Mr. Disbrow profess to think that this would be a beautiful way ontof the difliculty. The partisans of Mr. Edmonds receive the proposrtion with howls of disdain and derrsron. Altogether it does not look as if any great advance irad been made on the road to harmony and peace. A couple of intoxicated individuals were conversing in front of the SouthNor- walk post ofl‘icc the other day, one of whom carried a pair of baby’s shoes in his hand, which he had just purchased. Aportiorr of their animated conversation was overheard by a passer~by. “I can draw my check for $2,000. and that’s what you can’t do,” remarked the man with the shoes. “Well, I could ouCe,” replied the other, then reaching out he took the baby’s shoes from the hands of his antagonist and remarked, “I’d like to know what you buy Such small shoes for; you can’t wear them." “Well, I could once,” was the retort. I Mrs. Mary J. Holmes, .1 popular society lady of Ansonia, has just completed a novel, entitled “Ashes,” which several publishers have been anxious to secure. A few days ago she arranged with J. S. Ogilvie 6:. Co., of New'York-for its publi- cation, and now she is threatened with litigation by the publishers of Mary J. Holmes, the well-known novelist, who claims that the Ansonia lady must either adopt a nom de plume or leave her name OR the title pageof her new novel entirely. This Mrs. Holmes refuses to do, and her legal adviser in New York advises her to go ahead and publish the work with her name. Alanson Ebenezer Johnson died at his home on Merwin street, Wednesday morn- ing, aged 71 years. The causa of his death was Bright’s disca so. Mr. Johnson was a shoemaker, but owing to poor health sonic years. He was for a time sexton of the Congregational church, and janitor of the Over River School, and also collector- of the Over River District. He was twice married. His second wife, and two ciril- dren—Charles Johnson andmrs. James Wise, of Ansonia—by his first wife, sur- vive him. Deceased was more familiarly known as “Sam” Johnson. The funeral was attended from his late home, Friday afternoon. There are two services daily during the present week in St. Paul’s church. Thurs- day evening being the anniversary of the institution of the Lord’s supper that holy sacrament will then be administered. 0n Good Friday the hours of service will be the same on Sunday. On Saturday after- noon, the eve of the great Easter festival, the service will be partly choral, and will include the administration of holy baptism. On Easter Sunday the services will be largely musical. Full Easter morning offices at 10:30 o’clock. Tire annual Easter festival of the Sunday school at 5 o’clock p. m., and Easter night service. at 7:30 o’clock. On Easter Monday the hour for service will be 8:30 a. m., and on .and on Easter Tuesday at 10:30 a. m. Tire following from a ‘Troy paper al- ludes, we are informed, to a former Nor— walk boy named Edgar Betts. Men who pay obligations after having been legally discharged from them are as scarce as masticatory instruments in a hen’s month. But a Troy merchantis one of the exceptions to the customary rule of “Pay when you must.” «He was unsuc- cessful in business 'fifteen years ago, and he compromised with hiscreditors at fifty cents on the. dollar.. But he felt a- moral obligation as strong as the legal debts- which had been discharged. By the sav- ing of the intervening fifteen years, ac- quired from a salary as clerk, he has just been enabled to pay every ‘cent of the original indebtedness, the payments amounting in the aggregate to several thousand dollars. The surprise mani- fested by some of the creditors Was only equaledeby the joy of the man who fur- nished so rare an instance of honesty that ', does not require the stress of compulsion. versesjrrst as ba‘das they. had been unable to work at his trade for - Thomas Halloran. the saloon keeper who shot and killed Thomas Plunkett in Stamford a couple of weeks ago, had a hearing before Judge Curtis in the borough court there Monday forenoon. ‘ The charge was murder in the second degree. Probable cause was found and he was bound over,for trial before the superior court under bonds of $5,000.

The speed and capab- city of this press are estimated at ninety thousand four or sixpzrgc papers per hour, which is at the rate of fifteen hundred copies per minute, or at the rate of twenty- fiVe per second; seventy thousand eight- page papers per hour; forty-six thousand ten or twenty page papers; thirty~six thou. sand sixteen-page papers, or twenty-four thousand twenty-forrr—page papers, per hour. All of these papers will be deliver— ed from the machine complete—cut, past- ed and folded. Augusta has discovu'ed that the best way to corner the mom-v of the country is to stock the town with hotels. That'is just what has impresaed our borough board of trade. Tire greatest need 'of old Norwalk to—day is that every public Spirited man should suk fora time all ‘Selfish or personal considerations and unite on some feasible plan for a new hotel with all the modern conveniences, but not to be made secondary to a line of stores beneath. Stores in hotels are fast going out of fashion. and a new hotel might as well be out in the sound as out of fashion. A strong public spirit is al- ready awakened on this subject, which promises the best rrsults. Let this enter- prisc not lag for want of vigorous and effective support. H “The Housatonic road is all right. We are making money and everything is O. K.,” said Vice-President and General Manager Stevenson the other day. When asked what improvements the road were going to make at Parlor Rock this spring, Mr. Stevenson said: “we shall put in a long side truck in front of the grove north of th» big rock, out so that a large excur- sion train can run in there and remain during the day. This will be'a‘great con- put in a race track near the grove antlfit it up equal to Charter Oak Park and .in- tend to have some of the finest races} in the country. We shall make this resort one where everybody can go and enjoy themselves.” The Bridgeport Post runs a “kickcrs’ column,” and a very interesting column it is, too, in which the kickers kick ; that is ' those who want to find a reasonable amount of fault, or do a reasonable amount of scolding, or make reasonable suggestions, express themselves through this column. In the issue of Saturday there appeared the following kick” from Norwalk: I kick because there is no lateetrain back to Norwalk at night to enable me to go over to Bridgeport and stay long enough to see your high kickers when they kick their highest. .T. .B. II. Now who is this T. B. 1]., who wants to soothe Bridgeport high kickers kick high? It surely cannot be our neighbor, Thomas B. Hopper, he photographer, for he was married only a short time ago, and hence cannot be supposed to banker just yet for late trains and the high kick- ers of Bridgeport. However, as the Nor- walk directory does not contain another name that can be expressed by the same initials, the most charitable inference is that some mischievous rascal promulgated the above “kick” and made use of a Sig.— nature deliberately designed to impose naughty motives to Mr. Hopper. There isa young girl in Shiloh, who sits up so late with her hob, and whoelings to him soh that he never can gob till the rooster commences to croh- There’s a young girl in town with two beaux—and she might have more yet if she cheaux— she lras a pug neaux and she wears striped "lreanx, which she sheaux every time the wind bleaux. A woman can waltz with a skip and a hop, and sclrottische from night until day; but she can’t climb a telephone pole to the top, because she ain’t built that way. A woman can eat more ice cream than you can, and put more soft gumdrops away; but she can’t drink as much lager beer as a man—she’d rather have chewing gum. In the spring the book beer bocketh like a vicious billy- goat ; in the spring the young man bocketh sealskin cap and ulster coat. In the spring the giddy maiden weareth ' loose her'flow- ing tresscs; dons .a bonnet flower-laden, and mosquito netting dresses.
