A Topeka girl refuses to marry a man who had paid for a license because her father was too old to support a son-in- law, and the girl herself had too much sense to obligate herself to support a husband.

The neighbors 0f James Striebel, o Brownstown, Ind., are incited to be- lieve that he is an object, even in his grave, of the divine vengeance. Stric- bel was killed by lightning last sum- mer just after he had shouted out a blasphemous curse at the element. His friends buried him and erected a stone monument nine feet high to his mem- ory. A few nights ago this monument was struck by a thunderbolt and shiv- ered into pieces, and the superstitious people are much exercised over the circumstance. They have an exalted idea of the power that rules the universe: Anthony’s Photographic Bulletin calls attentionto the common fraud of a set of portrait swindlers who use the mails extensively to defraud the public. They offer to copy one’s photograph, enlarge and frame it gratuitously, etc., if the party will only kindly use his or her influence in getting orders for the generous photographer. If the bait takes. a cheap picture is made and sent “C. O. D.” under pretence that it is to cover only the cost of the frame,,the picture being free, whereas several times the value of the frame is exacted. The Bulletin says the Chicago P. O.- refuses to deliver all such firm’s circu- lars or letters. ' Mrs. Amos N. Raymond, an aged resident of the N. Y. and Conn. oblong, so called, died last Friday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ste- phen Keeler, Of Smith’s Ridge, in the northwestern part of this county. She was of the old solid Westchester stock Of women, in whose composition there Was nothing of indolence or insipidness, and one also whose religion kept rhythm with her vigorous vivacious na- ture. Years and years'agone, she had selected her funeral text, taking there- for one of the most practical passages in the book of Job. She has long sur- vived her partner, and'leaves several One of her sons was the late Amos Raymond, who died in Switzerland. Her former pastor, who was greatly beloved by 'her, was David Scott, rector of St. Stephen’s church, Ridgefield. Her late pastor has been the rector of Lewisborough, from St. Paul’s chapel in which place her funeral was attended last Sunday afternoon. The committal will be in St. John’s cemetery, South Salem, in the building of the stone church of which cure her husband was largely in- terested, and the grounds Of which are Of Revolutionary fame. close by the Major John Andre house. Oflicers Halpin, Otis, Brennan and Glennon, the Bridgeport policemen, who refused to do duty under Chief Ry- lands, after being ordered to do so by the Mayor, were tried for disobedi- ence of orders Saturday, found guilty and fined $15 and costs. An appeal was taken. ' . The receipts at the Bridgeport Cus- tom house for the. month of June amounted to $21,300 in round numbers. This is the largest total ever taken in one month, and shows a steady pro- gress in business that should be alike gratifying to the customs Officers and to the people of this district. The Army and Navy club of Con- necticut held its annual reunion at Fen- wick hall, Saybrook, Monday evening. Judge A. H. Fenn was teastmaster and among those who spoke were Governor Bulkeley, General Hawley, Henry I. Hayden of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Judge Vi. B. Chamberlain of New Britain.

At present they will run as far as 125 street. Billy Buxton has been laboriously devoted to the express business for twelve years. He has tried all these weary years to get an afternoon off to go up into the broad, green country, with his wife or down the harbor fish- ing with his—bait, but the afternoon never came. But now he authorizes the DAILYGAZETTE to publish the fact that “sink or swim, survive or perish,” he won’t haul a trunk or do a speck Of work (except to eat) after 10 o’clock next Fourth of July morning. He‘s going to have his day off. Samuel Waterbury, whose little farm is partly in the towns Of Norwalk and New Canaan, was recently conveyed to the borough Of New Canaan by an offi- cer, charged with keeping an unli— censed dog. In court Samuel produced the town clerk's receipt (which the lat- ter had forgotten about) dated in May last, proving his payment of the license. He was then kindly told that he ' could go home. “ That’s all right.” said Samuel, “but I desire to be sent home by team, and also desire cash payment for loss of time in being brought here. Both desires were fully complied with. There are no more flies on Sammy now than some years ago when he hunted “ J ohnnies ” along the reedy shores of Albemarle Sound and' confiscated the corn juice “ bladders.” Principal Gumbart of the East Nor- walk school and his wife, the latter of whom has been perceptress in the school for the past five years, received the greatest surprise of their lives af- ter the closing exercises of that school last Friday. Rev. C. M. Pegg in behalf of the pupils presented them two hand- some lithographs handsomely framed, for which he framed a handsome speech, and as if not satisfied in the well doing, supplemented the two gifts with another in the shape of a hand— some silk umbrella with a handsome silver handle, all' handsome testimoni- als to those who handsome do. Mr. Gumbart expressed his own and his wife‘s hearty appreciation of the gifts in a handsome manner. They ' both have won the confidence and esteem of the pupils and have been very success- ful in teaching the young idea how' to shoot ahead in the gaining of knowl- edge. It is learned with regret that Mrs. Gumbard has decided to retire from the school. The most successful meeting of the L’Hammock club and there have been many of them, was that held on the is- land bearing the- club’s name last Fri- day. They left the pier in this city on the Medea and made a successful . land- ing. The cuisine was ‘all that could be wished for, and the chowder made by a master hand was all the gods could ask for. The club enjoyed themselves as only the L’Hammo‘cks ' know how. They propose a repetition of the afihir the last of J ulv or the first of August. The old board of officials were contin- ued in office, the club thus showing their hearty appreciation Of the man- net in which the affairs social and fi- nancial had been conducted.
