stock of pianos for sale or rent. Those in
pressing need of a piano should call on
B‘ross, who would be delighted to play
music on it if he could, and would like to
show the strain to which the instruments
may safely be subjected, by playing some
of his own poetry on them, set to notes
and flats and sharps and things.
This cheerful intelligence comes from
the Hartford correspondent of the Spring-
field Sunday Republican :—
, The positively new development of the
ijover in the 4th districtflvhere the
friends of Senator E. J. Hill of Norwalk
aretalking very strongly of his succeeding
to the place that Congressman Miles has
so long held in the affections of the repub-
licans of that district. It has been the
rule that republicans to be elected from
that district must come from the northern
tier, but an experiment with a southern
tier man would, it is thought, do well in a
year when a IIousatonic candidate was
running at the head of the state ticket, as
will probably be the case next fall. Sena-
tor Hill is a very popular man. and proved
himself a good legislator, having a record
for supporting thereformlegislation which
came before the body while he was a
member. He would undoubtedly run well
against anybody but one of the Seymours,
and might stand a chance of doing some-
thing even then. The majority is slight
and changeable over there, and it is any
man’s race whether republican or demo-
crat until the votes are counted.

last week, when the toe troubled her to
such an extent that she called on a doctor,
who succeeded in extracting a portion of

Mr. James Sherwood, an old and well
known citizen of Norwalk, died at his
residence on Camp street yesterday after-
noon, at about 2.30, infthe 76th year of
his age. He had been for many years a.
sufferer from an injury to his knee, sus-
tained in his younger days, having devel-
oped an indolent ulcer, which, effecting
his brain, caused him intense suffering.
He had lived in Norwalk over 30 years,
and was at one time engaged in the real
estate business. For the last five years
he had been an invalid and rapidly de-
clined in health fintil his death. The
funeral will occur on Thursday afternoon
at3 o’clock, from his late residence. 20
Camp street.
Rev. S. P. Shepard, the dapper little
colored shepherd of the Knight street A
M. E. Church flock, has been for the past
two years trying to steer his sheep in the
straight and narrow path that leads to
glory hallelujah, while he himself, if
reports be true, found the same path a
little too narrow and cramping to afford
him sufficient elbow room, consequently
he jumped the fence and went skittering
all over the pasture like a frisky colt. until
he was finally lassoed. From the evidence
it appears that shortly after his transfer to
the Norwalk parish he became smitten
with the charms of a Mrs. Arden, a
comely young widow belonging to his
flock. He loved her not wisely but pretty
well, and about eight months ago she
gave birth to a fatherless little Shepard.
The clerical sinner then sent her out of
town with promises of support, which he
fulfilled until a recent date, when, his
remittances ceasing, she came back, made
a full and complete confession of the
the church, who thereupon refused to
allow Brother Shepard to expound the
Word any more from their pulpit. Shep-
ard left last week to attend the A. M. E.
Conference. and has not showed up since.
It is not even known that he did go to the
Conference, where, in all probability,
charges would be brought against him.
It is too bad. Shepard is a real nice little
fellow, with his full share of “human
nater,” so weak as to be indiscreet, and so
unfortunate as to get caught at it.
AGeorgetown rusticus came down or
the races last week and, so it is said. he-
came infatuated with that cunning little
game the thimble riggers were playing
with a little rubber ball about as big as a
pea, and three nut-shells. It looked so
simple and so easy to guess which shell
the ball was under that Mr. Rusticus
thought he would have a little fun with
the manipulator and scoop in a few dol-
lars. It was a first-class opportunity to
get something for nothing. The fakir
sized up his man and on the very first
trial Rusticns got his money back and
double the amount, of the fakir’s money.

In speakingflo a. reporter of the issue of
new stock of the Consolidated railroad to
be exchanged for the Hartford and Con—
necticut Valley and the Stamfbrd and New
Canaan roads, President Clark of the
Consolidated said : “it has no signifi-
cance, but is simply a matter of bookkeep-
ing. The Consolidated owns almost all
the stock of the two roads, and thus they
are really a part of the Consolidated’s sys-
tem. To maintain a separate corporate
existence for these. two roads makes un—I

of the Consolidated road at the regular

terly dividend of two and one-half per
cent.
An adjourned meeting of the Court of
Burgesses was held Wednesday evening,
at which St. John avenue was accepted;
Burgess Couch reported having borrowed
$750 for the use of the borough; a com
munication was received asking for ratifi-
cation of officers elected by Hope Hose-
00.; the Prospect Place nuisance was
referred to the sewer committee; the
finance committee was authorized to bor-
row money to meet interest due July lst
on borough bonds, etc; the matter of
purchasing a road roller was deferred to
the next meeting; at the suggestion of Dr.
Bridges the watering tanks were ordered
disinfected and painted and the water
turned on; and it was voted to improve
Riverside avenue at a cost not in excess of
$500. Burgesses Sloan, Couch and Bowc

—W. B. Hall & Co.-, the proprietors of
the great dry goods house, in Bridgeport,
are going to enlarge their store for the»
fifth time in eleven years. They are now
adding sixty-seven feet in the rear and,
when completed, will give them a beauti-
ful dress goods room and a flood of light.
After this is added the old house will be
removed and four stories added above.
In a. descriptive article of their business
the Farmer thus speaks of their success :—
Until some years ago the ladies of' Fair.
field county'were compelledto go to the
metropolis, in order to supply their toilets
or to purchase such articles in the dry
goods and upholstery line as they could
not obtain at home. It has therefore been
tlie'aim of .W. B. Hall & Co. to save the
ladies of this part of Western Connecticut
the fatigue, logs of time and expense of a
trip to New Stork by establishing an em-'
porium whose stock should be in all
respects equal to that of the best house in
the City, not only as to variety, but as to
priees as well. _It wasa difficult under-
taking. It required large means, shrewd
buying, the offering of many liberal
inducements. But the firm was equal to
the task. The golden stream which from
time immeniorablc had flowed into the
stores on Broadway was diverted to
Bridgeport. How complete has been their
success in turning trade into anew and
much more convenient channel the throngs
of customers to be seen daily in the vast
establishment at the corner of Main and
Cannon streets constitute the very best
eVidence.
