The J ohnstown Relief Fund.
The greatest horror of modern times——
the Johnstown flood—was followed by
the most magnificent charity fund ever
contributed in the world’s history. The
report of Secretary Kramer, of the flood
relief commission appointed to distribute
the funds has Just been made public, and
shows that the total cash contributions to
the sufferers, so far as the commission
was able to obtain information, amounted
to the sum of $4,116,801. Forty-six states
and territories and 14 foreign countries
responded to the appeals for help. The
property loss in the Concmaugh valley, as
sworn to by claimants, reached $9,674,-
105; added to this a loss on corporate,
church and borough property of $2,107,~
500, and the grand total foots up to $11,-
871,605. The most careful investigation,
continued to the present time, regarding
the drowned shows the number to have
been 2,142. Ninety-nine families, num-
bering two to 10 members each were
entirely washed away. One hundred and
twenty-four women lost their husbands,
and 198 men their wives, while the
orphans and half-orphans number 565.
The bodies found and identified number
1,115, found and not identified 636, missing
391. These figures alone—now that the
excitement over the catastrophe has worn
away and they can be read with calmness
—-give a clear and forcible idea of the
extent of the ruin. Mr. Kramer’s report
also gives an interesting account of the
methods employed by the commission in
the distribution of the people’s sympathetic
trust. The receipts of the commission
itself amounted to $2,912,346. ‘The ex.
penditures in the Conemaugh valley were
$2,592,937 ; other expenditures bring the
total up to $2,845,141, and the commis-
sion has $67,205 on hand. The amount
received by the widows was $183,281, and
$108,500 has been set aside for their
children. For the cure of children made
orphans by the flood $119,617 has been
set aside. The fact that only $5,729 of
the relief fund was used for general and
office expenses would seem to indicate
that the commission had accomplished its
arduous work economically and well.

Save the Elms.
Col. Woolsey Rogers Hopkins, the re-
storer of his grandfather Moses Rogers’
Shippan Point estate, and who has taken
such an active interest in his Norwalk au-
writes to the Stamford
6
cestors’ history,
News as follows :
MR. EDITonz—It is human to allow ca-
lamities to pounce upon us. No one heeds
the ounce of prevention—~all are ready to
pay the pound of cure. The elm destroyer
is upon us. I have observed it on my trees,
and only to-duy have I examined the leaves
and found the pest in the fourth stage. This
is a short, black grub, looking under the
magnifying glass like a fat fly with its wings
plucked. Your readers have no patience to
read of its growth or habits. The question
is what to do with it. Turning to a valua.
ble pamphlet issued by the U. S. Agricul-
tural department I find recorded various
means used to get rid of it. I. have tried
the following, which should have been used
in June:
Take 5 lb. London Purple, mix with 3
quarts of flour. Mix the flour into a paste,
stir in the Purple and put the mixture in-
to a barrel of water. Put this on a wagon,
insert a force pump into the barrel and send
a stream through a pipe with a fine nozzle
on it, thus spraying the leaves. This will
do to protect trees twenty-five feet high.
\Vhat about the large trees? Why, give
it up for this year. There is no danger of
killing them unless, this insect should be dif-
ferent from any we have had. The New
Haven elms planted by James H ilhouse in
the early part of this century have gone
through this trial many times. The great
elm tree in Norwalk in front of the old
residence of Gov. Fitch and planted by him
more than a century ago has had this expe-
rience. There is no mention by entomolo-
gists at Washington of scraping the trees.
This may ruin the trees by severe weather.
I will not lengthen this article by stating
what may be done next Spring. By that
time we shall have further information.
The Grand Army of the Republic is a
unique organization. In the words of a
past commander-in-chief:—“No child
can be born into it; no proclamation of
President, edict of King. or ukasc of Czar
can command admission ; no university
or institution of learning can issue a
diploma authorizing its holder to entrance;
no act of Congress or Parliament secures
recognition ; the wealth of a Vanderbilt
cannot purchase the position; its doors
swing open only upon presentation of the
bit of paper, torn, worn, begrimed it may
be, which certifies to an honorable dis-
charge from the armies or navies of the
nation during the war against. rebellion.”
And unlike any other association, no “new
blooc ” can come in ; there are no growing
ranks from which recruits can be drawn
into the Grand Army of the Republic.
With the cousumation of peace through
victory. its rolls were closed forever. Its
lines rare steadily and swiftly growing
thinner, and the ceaseless trump of its
columns is with ever-lessening tread ; the
gaps in the picket line grow wider; day
by day details are made from the reverse,
summoned into the shadowy regions to
return to touch elbows no more; until by
and by, only a solitary sentinel shall stand
guard, waiting till the bugle call from
beyond shall muster out the last comrade
of the Grand Army of the Republic.—

‘Rev. Mr. H. M. Burr, of Springfield,
Mass, :1 son-in-law of Mr. W. H. Saxton,
of Saugatuck, preached in the Congrega~
tional church Sunday morning and evening.
Mr. Anson Stratton, aged nearly 80 years,
who was'killed by falling from the New
Haven railroad tracks to the highway
beneath at Compo crossing, on Monday
night of last week, had resided nearly all
his life in this town. He was found with
his neck broken, showing that death had
resulted from the fall. The remains were
buried on Tuesday in King street cemetery.
It looks strange to many that the very
means provided by the railroad company to
prevent fatalities of this kind should, at a
point where the utmost care and expense
had been taken and expended, should afiord
the means for a death in this way. If a
train had run upon and killed Mr. Stratton
at that crossing, not a few ‘would have said
the company was at fault. Of late Mr.
Stratton had been living in Nor-walk.
Thercure three parties at present having
fine times camping on Caukccn’s Island,
and all say there is no spot along the Sound
which can equal it as a place of quiet resort,
easy of access, and aflording plenty of means
for full enjoyment. The sea and country
views are fine, the breezes never fail, there
are no mosquitoes on the uplands, the
fishing close by is just right, and the clams
and other bivalves dug on the shore are of
fine flavor and very abundcnt. But visitors
don’t depend on fishing and clam digging
for their lunch supplies, but take them
along and when their larder-s are low, go
ashore for replenishment. The old island
therefore is not only maintaining its record,
but is winning new believers in its virtues
every season.‘
Charles H. Olmstead, John H. Robinson,
and one or two others, veterans of the old
Fifth Conn. regiment, which General Ferry
commanded during the war. attended the
regiment’s 24th annual reunion in Bridge-
port, last Saturday. They had a glorious
time. In place of hard tack and army
beans and coffee which the boys eagerly
devoured when in the field a quarter of a
century ago, they had served to them in the
Atlantic hotel dining room soft shelled
crabs, broiled chicken, live lobsters split
and broiled, and other tender delicacies.
This doubtless was due in consideration of
the fact that twenty-five years have some-
what interfered with their molar powers.
The repust made them all happy, and the
after dinner speeches showed that. each and
every one was proud of the part he had
played with the musket and alive as ever
to the cause of the Union. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Amzie Lockwood, Miss
Cclestia Lockwood and Mrs. W. C. Staples
have gone to Saratoga for a couple of weeks.
Local express agent Jennings. who has
returned from an extended tour through
the \Vestern states says the farmers out
there, some of them, eSpecially in the
northern portions of the states, are in a
state which induces him to say that he
would not take them as a gift. Mr. Jen-
nings is a native of Greens Farms, Where
land produces something, and from which
produce can be turned readily into money.
He is probably prejudiced in favor of
Greens Farms as against even the rich
soils over which he has been traveling.
He also conveyed the idea that a man who
has to work by the day for a living will be
as well off or better east, than he can be
west.
Hr. James Hart is partaking of spring
water at Saratoga.
With the addition of six‘ lamps ordered
by the Board of Trade, Compo street, the
East Broadway of the town can be lighted
nearly its whole length. It was right and
wise for the Board to take this action, as
some of the best people and solid tax payers
of the town reside on that street, and they
have long been suffering from darkness.
Several \Vestport yachts will enter for
the coming regatta in Bridgeport, and if
they maintain their records, will bring back
their proportion of the $500 to be ofiered
as prizes.‘
The New Haven railroad’s gang of Ital-
ians, helped by a new steam shovel, is just
hustling gravel from Plait Bemcett’s bank
to a point west of the depot. As yet there
is nothing to indicate that the work will
stop this season. This forming of real
estate over salt meadow is a pretty good
scheme of the company.
To-morrow, (Thursday,) rain or shine,
will serve to‘make 700 children and prob-
ably 300 big folks happy, as the entire
crowd coming from six churches will enter
one grand special train at the depot and go,
without change of cars, to High Rock Grove
on a picnic. If they bring back from the
Grove as' much happiness as it is now
evident they will take there with them,
they will be content to wait till August,
1801, before taking another similar outing.
If W estport’s population increases during
the next four decades in the same propor.
tion that it has in the last, about 8 per
the benefits of the letter carrier system, as
proposed by a bill in Congress supplying it
to towns of 5,000 and over. " Long time to
wait,—but let’s wait. , . 9

There are probably more than a score of
wells in this city which have been little
used since the introduction of huckleberry
water, which has been cleaned and now
affords an abundant supply of pure cool
water to a multitude of thirsty men, women
and children.
Norwalk editors ought to be proud of
their success. A western clergyman admits
that “the reading of them goes far toward
keeping him up in his line of hard labor,”
and professes sorrow for those who have to
listen to his political temperance talks.
No public place of resort fora chat, or to
discuss matters of interest, is more missed
than the salesroom of the Old Well Cigar
company. Since the removal to their new
building the office has been closed about 6
p. m., relieving the firm from duty, and
their old frequenters have to find other
rendezvous for their social hours.
The effort made by a few earnest and
resolute men and women to prevent further
licenses for the sale of rum and beer being
granted in South Norwalk has been success-
ful, making six license applications which
have been refused. There were no politics
considered in the matter, yet the Third
party prohibitionists were conspicuous only
by their absence. Most people now admit
that this is the most practical prohibition,
and the laborers who have been so success-
ful are determined to continue their efiorts
and hope to prohibit most of those who may
apply for licenses next year.

Salt andTlnega'i'"£or Dog Bites.
I have been bitten by dogs repeatally,
oncesevercly. A pet dog of a neighbor's
was very sick, and I was attempting td‘i‘e-
lieve it. It bit me in the left thumb, just
below the nail. That member became black
as far down as the wrist. It remained So
until the nail came off. The owner talked
of hydrophobic and said that the dog had
not tested water for two weeks. Had I
been afraid I should no doubt have taken
nervous fits and died, The verdict would
have been hydrophobia. But I simply ap-
plied a solution of salt and vinegar—s lit—
tle more vinegar than salt—washed the
wound with it, tied a clean rag around the
thumb, keeping it saturated well with the
solution, and moved the rag so that afresh
part covered the wound at intervals This
remedy was once applied to my wrist by a
colored woman in the south for a snake
bite. My arm was then black, hard and
pigth The remedy acted like achalrm.
In two hours the discoloration had disap<
peered, and with it the pain, and only the
needle mark where the fang had entered
was visible—Cor. New York Tribune.
A Bunch of Grapes Instead of an Bar.
A singular birthmark is to be seen on a
negro woman employed near Athens, Ala,
on the Darrington plantation. Her left ear
is shaped like a bunch of grapes, and pen-
dant from the side of her head by afila—
ment of flesh, presenting a most remark-
able appearance. Her hearing on that side
is of course very defective, but otherwise
she suflfers no inconvenience from her pe-
culiar mark, which, as negroes always do.
she attributes to a witch’s malice. ”When
