E. B. Price.

E. E. Price, an old and respected citi- zen of Norwalk, died at his residence there, Friday evening, after n long and lingering illness. He was born in Dam bury and well known here, his wife, who survives him, being Miss Mary, sister of Cyrus Beers Sherman. These children are also living: Dr sherman B. Price, Mrs Dr George B. Hickok and Mrs w.. A. Hawkins, all of New York. The Nor walk Gazette pays this tribute to his life |:
 Nearly 30 years ago, he was a partner in the tombstone and marble business with his fla ther, Edmond Price, on the hill opposite the Sherry residence on Main street. He subse- quently went to Purdy,s Station and continu- ed in the sasae business there until the death of his f,ther, when he again came to Norwalk and conancteS his business in the building now pas1 of the Sirnonds foundry, in the rear Of the Gazette building. During part oi his business career here, he had our present monumental sculptor and stone-worker, P.W Bates, as partner. He manufactured tomb stones largely for the South as well as for the I local market and there are many "gartlens O
 the dead" in North Carolina, Georgia and oth | CT Southern States, as well as Connecticut ant !
 a man of stern New England ideas of business integrity and uprightness and could not b made to swerve from his high sense of honest, | to promote his business interests and, as consequence, he fell behind In the fierce com
 petitions which the unprincipledi in these mod
 ern days are so prone to wage with men Q
 principle. About two years ago,he was strick
 en with paralysis and the admonition wa
 deemed by him an unerring l,-emonition tha
 his days of activity and usefulness were at n
 end and only in the grave could rest be fonne
 With an unfaltering faith, he has since watcl
 ed and waited for the summons to highe
 and eternal life. He WAS amember of the Firs . Congregational church and also one of tll
 original members ot Our Brothers lodge { r odd Fellows. His funeral took place, Mol day afternoon and the remains were sepu
 chred in the family plot in Union cemeter | with those of his kindred "gone before." II I was q modest. pure and upright life, a f richer legacy to family and friends than ia 1. the wealth Of the Indies"

A horse belonging to c. NJ. Beresford sank into bog hole in the road near Mrs Elliott Beardsley's, Sunday night. Beres- ford, who was alone, tried to extricate the animal, but had only partially sue ceed when it slipped back again, over launches in the soft mud. Had not part of the harness broken, the wagon would also have been damaged. Mir Beresford shouted for help, holding on, meantime, to the horses head. Three or four men at last answered and the steed was lifted out of the quagmire, the harness patched up and Mir Beresford returned home. The road has always been in poor con dition, but the long rains had made it doubly dangerous.

A Week of Storm and Loss.

What q week, last week. Rain fell and dampEess and heat, progressively com mingled, reigned supreme. Roads were washed and rendered impossible in places, low lands overfowed, hay and grain still in the field almost ruined and root crops attacked by rot. Indoors, the condition was even worse. The housewife complained bitterly of the dampness, which caused mould and of the impossibility of removing it. Pol ished metals rusted and refused to be cleaned; cellars were flooded and drains choked. In many cases, wells were so impregnated with surface drainage that the water was unfit for use.
 Almost every kind of business was more or less injured, especially where perishable goods were handled, as ill the case of wholesale grocers and produce dealers, who could not move stock fast enough to prevent decay and loss. Re tail dealers suffered nearly as much il proportion.
 Sand and water was washed from over hanging banks near the station 1t Han over and a delay of several hours caused to an east bound New England train five of whose cars were swept from tn track. Four cars, replaced, were il a collision, later. The passenger trail was some three hours late. 4 freigh left Hartford for the west, .'wild;" th' engineer, following his Hartford orders passed New Britain and crushed into tn
 delayed passenger, just west of the city
 A fireman and express messenger wer hurt.

Alter Il great feast there is always great quantity of good, substantial viands left, which, although they may not present as eie- gant an appearance as before the banquet be- gan are still as wholesome and nour1shing as ever. So, also, after q great seasons $ trade III almost any line ofmerchandise, there are bro ken lots odds and ends of sizes, some of one kind and some of another, which are still as well worth the original prices as they ever were. Many merchants, realizing this, will | hold them for the first price and carry them | along from season to season. But the more l liberal minded dealers prefer to close these lots out completely, selling the goods for what | they will bring and relying upon the profits of I the seasons business to reimburse them for | what loss they suffer apon the broken lots. 1 Such is the policy adopted by Nolan < Son, l the veteran shoe dealers in Bridgeport.
