Frank Stevens, the limping tramp, I who was arrested Tuesday by Officer ‘ Gormley, was arraigned in the after- noon before Judge Austin, charged with drunkenness and vagrancy, and was found guilty and sentenced to 60 days in jail and fined $7 and costs. This will keep him behind the bars at least long enough to prevent the out- side world from playing April fool jokes on him. Stevens is an old rounder and, makes his appearance here at regular intervals, generally sailing under a different name at each visit. He has been arrested here sev- eral times for various offenses, and, although he undoubtedly deserved the sentence imposed on this occasion for the misdemeanors alleged against him, the principal reason for his arrest was a suspicion that he might be the fire— bugaboo who has been having so much fun burning barns. ——The BOSTON STORE has secured the Ambler Store in the GAZETTE Building, immediately on its being va- cated by Dr. Coolidge, trustee of the Ambler estate, for the purpose of dis- posing of its immense stock of goods purchased at the Sheriff sale of the A number of Norwalk young people attended the sociable given at the resi- dence of Sherman Morehouse in Wilton Thursday eve’g.

Every- body was made to feel at home and all entered into the spirit of the occasion. There was dancing constant and lively, to entrancing music of Prof. Taylor’s orchestra, including the Professor himself, backed up by Shipman and Ben. Allen; card playing was indulged in by devotees of the game ; social par- lor games were played ; conversation was carried on by bevies of fair women and brave men, and the hours flew swiftly by, till the gray of dawn streak- ed the eastern sky. Then all went home, voting the afi’air a success. —The BOSTON STORE has rented the Ambler Store in GAZETTE Building, till April 1st, for the purpose of run- ning off the immense stock of Dry Goods purchased at the Sheriff sale slaughter, of the goods of Haskell, Leonard & Co.

Wednesday morn- ing Bill sat in the seat with Jesse Fillow, to whom he was giving a graphic description of the Branchville lumber yard fire of the night before, when the train reached Norwalk. He was so deeply engrossed in his narra- tive that he neither heard nor heeded the brakeman’s stentorian shout of “Norwalk !” nor observed some of his fellow workmen alighting from the train, and he was only brought to a realizing sense of the situation when, just after the train had started, Con- ductor Dyas came into the car, and, with a long and solemn face, interrupt- ed the fire story and demanded a tick- et for South Norwalk. This brought Bill to his senses and he glanced out of the window just as the train was pass- ' ing the stone yard where he is employ- ed. He jumped hurriedly out of his seat and made for the door, - but, real- izing the suicidal folly of attempting to jump off while the train was under full headway, he rushed frantically back to the conductor and appealed to him to stop the train and let him ofi', as Bates would be as mad as a wet hen if he wasn’t there on time. The conduct" or only replied “ticket or fare, please,” but Bill told him to go to a land that is warmer than this, while he turned his attention to Fillow, whom be accused of having purposely kept him engaged .in describing the fire, in order to get him carried by. Bill went through to South Norwalk and returned on the first horse car. He vows, however, that he’ll never. pay the extra. fare for which Dyas duns him every time he gets aboard the train.
