We have no doubt but that the musical portion of the programme will be well worth hearing. One of the selections at the Douglas Fowler Post entertainment, on Thurs- day evening, which deserves particular mention was the rendition of the song, “Unhappy Jeremiah," by Mr. Charles V. Arnold, of the GAZETTE composing room. Mr. Arnold’s rendition of the piece was truly dramatic, and he is possessed of a remarkable falsetto voice, which came fittingly into play during the song. In the high notes, however, it was somewhat tremulous, and sound- ed like the grating of a radish against afal-sett-o’ (?) teeth. Nevertheless, the production was heartily applauded. * it 9": An attempt was made to fire \Villiam H. Lockwood’s barn at Roton Hill, early this morning. Mr. Lockwood is afflicted with the rheumatism which at times keeps him up a good part of the night. About 3 o’clock this morning he saw a man running away from his barn, and started as rapidly after him as his lameness would permit, firing his revolver twice at the fleeing barnburn- er, and then went to the place where the fire had been started in the bottom of the haymow, which he suc- ceeded in extinguishing with a pail of water, which fortunately stood near by. There were four thoroughbred cows in the barn, besides a 1101 se, three tons of hay, harness, wagons, etc. VII. L. des- cribes the man as \being tall and not veryfieshy. SPECIAL CITY ATE W381. Dr. M.

WILLIMANTIC, March 28.—.A 17 year- old German boy named Charles Pau- grantz committed suicide yesterday afternoon at his home in North Mans- field. No reason is known for the suicide. He worked for his father on the farm. He yesterday said he didn’t feel very well and thought he would remain in the house. He fired the contents of a shot gun into his head. They Mourn His Loss A few months ago Thomas Ahearn had a scrimmage with a brother tailor, the details of which are still fresh in the minds of our readers. Subse- quently Ahearn was started in business in W00d’s building by one of our citi- zens whose confidence in his fellow man had been rudely shaken by the events of the past week. It seems that with the funds furnished Ahern “opened up” with quite a flourish of trumpets and seemed to be doing a good business. Among other customers was James London who paid $4.50 for some cloth, took it to Ahearn and leav- ing}? his ,_measure took his departure. Not being able to gain entrance to Ahearn’s place of business, complaint was made, Oflicer Adams visited the store this morning and found nothing save bare walls. The wicked tailor had taken wing, (so had his goose; and naught save lamentation is heard. OBITUARY. In the death of Mrs. Samuel F. Lum- bert, which occurred on the 16th inst-, at the homestead in Wilton,after abrie'f illness, the commupity loses ,one of its most venerated members. The end was peaceful as her life had been serene. At the time of her decease Mrs. Lum- bert had survived her husband, the late Samuel Fitch Lambert, nearly twenty— six years. This period of widowhood she passed in. comparative seclusion at the Homestead, surrounded by near relatives and friends and in the society of her son and only child, to whose min- istrations were added, in recent years, those of one who has been to her as a daughter in all save the fact of actual consanguinity. In contemplating the high mental and moral worth of thises- timable character the mind reverts,nat- urally, to those exemplars of female ex- cellence which illumine so effectively the pages of Holy Writ. Rigid adher- ence to principle was chastened but not weakened in her by charity and the prompt-ings of a sympathy co-extensive in range with the sufferings of herkind. Her sphere—the sphere wherein she shone and delighted to shine——was,pre~ eminently, the Home. With the poet of the Creation she believed that “ Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good." There, in the hearts of her loved ones, she sat enthroned as in a king- dom. In her estimation the noblest aims of life were those of perfect wo- manhood, filial duty, marital fidelity, maternal love. Experience discharged for her an office full of benignity. It tempered while it informed her judg- ment and prescribed for her just limit- ations upon the "exercise of Christian charity. Hence the unworthy rarely deceived her whereas the deserving never appealed to her in vain. Dignity and self-control were the distinguish- ing traits of her intercourse with strangers, while, at the fireside, in the midst of family and friends, she dif- fused a genial glow which penetrated and warmed the hearts of all. She was a stranger to all uncharitableness and her ears and lips were alike closed to the passage of alight that could injure br disparage a fellow morta1.. Of her it may in truth be said that she was “ A perfect woman, nobly planned To warn, to comfort and command." Surely, it is not presumptuous to con- clude that her reward is as enduring as her merits have been conspicuous. SAMUEL C. DEFOBREST, who died, aged 47, in North Wilton last week,was a member of Co. A, Seventeenth Regi- ment, C. V. I. He was in the battle of Chancellorsville. At Gettysburg he entered the fight on the first day, and while on t‘ he skirmish line, was one of the first, if not the first one, of the Eleventh Corps‘ to be wounded. The ball out a furrow across his forehead. 'It was so serious a wound as I to cause 1 his discharge fr om the service, and, the doctor says, was one of the causes of his death. Though a native and a resident of IWilton, he enlisted from Norwalk. Norwalk may proudly claimhim as one of her patriot heroes. E. MissMary F Pardee returned from Houghton Seminarylast night. Miss . Curtis, of Denver, 001., is..her guest.
