Eureral of Professor w. A. Norton.

Funeral of Professor w. "A. NOEEOh
 The funeral of the late Professor w. A.
 Norton took place yesterday forenoon at 10 o'clock from BatteI chapel. There was a
 large attendance of sorrowing and sympa- 1 thizing friends. The remains were escorted
 to the chapel from the late residence of the
 deceased on Prospect street by the professors, instructors and students of the Sheffield Scientific school. Prayer was offered by Rev.
 Dr. Barbour, pastor of the College chapel, after which came solemn music upon the organ by Professor Stoockel. President Porter delivered brief sketch of the life of Professor Norton, saying that for ffty-twO years he had been a teacher, first at West Point, where he had graduated. then in the University of the City of New York, after wards in Newark, N. J. and in Brown uni versity, and finally, since 1852, in the Scientific school of Yale. AS teacher, said the president, he has served with fidelity
 military precision, moral faithfulness. It is given to few men to pass such life. The time of his coming to this college marked critical point in the history of the Scientific school. But largely through his enterprise the school has constantly developed. He has always been known as devoted, faithful, self deny ing. AS teacher his skill, fidelity and love of work were remarkable. The president spoke further in the highest terms of the late professor as a scientist, man of charac- ter and a faithful Christian. After prayer by Dr. Barbour the choir sang beautifully the hymn "Nearer My God, to Thee" An op- portunity was then given all present to take a last look at the features of the dead before the casket lid was closed. The bearers were Prof. c. s. Lyman, Mir. Tredwell Ketcham, Prof. s. W. Johnson, Prof. George J. Brush, Prof. W. P. TroWbridge and Prof. W. H. Brewer The interment was in Greenwood cemetery, New York. An hour before the public services at Battell chapel the students of Sheffield Scientific school were assembled in body and Prof. Brush paid feeling and loving tribute to the memory of the deceas- ed. Prof Brewer followed, reviewing the valuable life and worthy character of the de- ceased, Rlluding specially to his record as connected with the Sheffield Scientific school, 2 record which was iu consonance cwith the whole career of the deceased, that of man of sminently worthy character and high attainments in his field of scholarship day.

The Celebration at BridgepOrt-NegOtia-
 tiOns for the American Band of Provi-
 dence.
 An adjourned meeting of the Veteran Fire mems association was held in the Fire Com- missioners' room last evening. In the ab- sence of the president W. w. King presided. Secretary Goodnow being absent on account of illness, L. E. Jerome was appointed secre- tary pro tenn.
 At the last meeting it was voted to accept the invitation to attend the firemen's parade at Bridgeport and committees were appoint ed on uniforms and other matters. At that meeting it was also voted to engage the Sas- sacus drum corps for music. Last evening there seemed to be a general feeling that brass band should be obtained and that the g drum corps however good it might be. After full discussioa of the matter it was voted to appoint a committee to procure brass band and the same committee were au- thorized to solicit subscriptions to pay for the same. Luther B. Jerome, Andrew J. Kennedy and Charles Doty were appointed such committee. The committee last evening sent dispatch to Providence to Mir Reese, the leader or the American band Of that city, to inquire if he was disengaged on October 11th and what his terms were. If this band is secured it will be feature in the grand parade.
 Chief Hendrick, B.F Crockett and Charles Doty were appointed..a "a committee to ascer- tain how many old style fire hats can be borrowed in the city for the parade, the as- soeiation having voted to adopt this style of hat. The hats will be adorned with tin fronts, painted black, on which will be in white letters "V. F. A." New Haven. The matter of obtaining the fronts was left to the same committee.
 The secretary was instructed to warn the members to attend special meeting on next Wednesday evening, when members who have signifed their intention to go to Bridgeport will be measured for uniforms
 There is much enthusiasm manifest on the part of the veterans in regard to the trip to Bridgeport.

A young man who lodged at a house
ia the country, whers there were three
COY damsels who seemed 10 imagine
that men are terrible creatures whom il
was an objectionable sin TO look at, was
one afternoon ncc0sted by An acQuaint-
ance, aud asked what he thought of the
three young ladies.
He replied that they we're shy and re-
served, 50 much 30 that no gentleman
could get near enough to tell the color
Of their eyes. "Yet will stake q mil
lion that l will kiss all three without
any trouble"
That you cannot do" cried the
friend, lit il an achievement which
neither you nor any man can accom-
pliah."
The other Was positive, aud invited
his friend 10 the house to witness his
triumph.
They entered the room together, and
the three girls were at home sitting be-
side their mother, and they all looked
~ prim and demure ~ mustard pot.
Our hero assumed very grave aspect
even to detection, and having looked
vistfully at the clock, breathed a sigh a.
deep a. algebra and a. long as a female
dialogue at the street door. His sinRu-
lar department attracted the attention
of the girls, who cast their slowly opened
eyes up to his oounsenancc. PerceivinQ
the impression he had made, he turned
10 his companion and said:
1T wants three minutes Of the time"
'Mr. c., pray, what do you think
Off"
Nothing" replied he, in a lugubri.
ous tone, ''but last night q spirit ap-
peared unite me-"
Here the girls rose to their feet and
drew near.
And the spirits gave me warning that
should die exactly at twelve O'Clock
today and vou ses it wants but minute
of.the time"
The girls turned pale, and hidden
sympathies were at once awakened for
the doomed. They stood chained to
the spot, looking alternately at the
clock and at the unfortunate youth.
He then walked mp to the eldest of the
girls, and taking her by the hand babe
her solemn farewell. He also i'm
printed kiss upon her trembling lips,
which she did mot resist. He then bid
the second and third farewell IN the
Same affeCtiounts manner.
His object was achieved, aud that
moment the clock struck II. Here
upon he looked around surprised. and

A hopping mad man at the Union de-
pot wanted to see the president, secreta-
ry. superintendent and treasurer all at
once, and it would have done him q heap
Of good could hs have got within strik-
ing distance of even a $4,000 stock
holder in any of the railroads entering
Detroit. 70 the several inquiries AZ to
what Was on his mind the man finally
replied:
Il WAS coming in from Dearborn this
morn'ng, a walking on tho track. Ny
dog BO,LbO vas with me. I've had that
dog five years and have bear offered $50
for him. He was q little green about
railroads, but on everything else he Wa
AZ sharp az a razor. We had got down
about mile this side of the village when
| saw train coming"
And stepped aside?''
OF course did. own l6O acres of

" But the dog?'
He stopped, too. Ireckon it was the
fust time he ever SAW train, but he'd
have bin all right if the engineer hadn't
begun to loot. The mint ha heard that
tOOtin' BonbO begun to bristle, and while
the train vas five hundred feet away he
started down the track to meet it.
Then"
oval" said the man, as he mopped
his forehead, :" it WAS a little too much
for hun. An engine and two cars ought
to get away with a dog any day in the
year. He riz about twenty feet high, !
reckon, took a slant to the left, and when
he come down he broke the top of a
small tree"
"WellY''
~ moticned for the engineer to stop
the train as soon a. the dog started. He
could have done it, but wouldn't. In
deed, when the train went past me he
leaned out and laffed-yes, sir, LATED in
my face"

and 500 for the shock to my nervous
system"
Have you any proofs?"
II should smile! Even when Pm all

And he drew from his pocket hind
leg, two paws, an ear and piece of the
lost CANNES tail, and spread them on
the bench. There was an expressive IL
lenoe in the crowd and then the highway
commissioner cried out:

death OF an old man had known there,
and 1t recalled peculiar case of retri-
butiye justice in that family.
Years ago the old man owned ono of
the best farms In the county. and his
sDn assisted him in working il. Ibis
son married aud had son. When the
grandson Was about Is years of age his
father suggested 10 the grandfather that,
~ he was growing old and had worked
hard all his life, he take things easy the
rest of his days. He asked tho old man
to deed the farm to him and let him
take sole charge of il, with the aid Of the
grandson. He promised the old farmer
. good homo and an easy life as long a.
he lived. The old man finally decided
tho property TO his son.
No sooner had he obtained the title
to the property than the son began .

work harder than he had eve. done for
himself, would not permit him to eat at
the family table, and subjected him to
all kinds Of prosecutions. The grand
son protested in vain against this treat
meut Of his grandfather, aud finally the
old man left the home that he had made
and found an Asylum in the county
pooFhouse.
After 3 while the son got badly into
debt, and 20 anxious was he to escape
the payment Of his obligations that he
made deed Of the farm to his con,
Everything moved smoothly for Q time,
until one day tho father gave some d.
reotions that did not agree with the
sons ideas, and the latter refused 90
consent 10 them. The father declared
that his wishes should BE- carried out.
and ordered his son to leave the place.
The con, however. reminded him thai
he held the title - the farm himeeif.
