DEATH OF DENNIS CAvANAUGH.

The death of Dennis Cavanaugh, which occurred last week Friday, was a sudden and very unwelcome shock to the imme- diate family circle and host of sympa
 thizing friends. MT Cavanaugh was stricken about two weeks previous with an attack of neuralgia of the heart and later pneumonia fastened it's deadly hold upon his system and proved more than he was able. to cope with, causing his death at the age of 61 years. The funer- al was held from St Roses church, Fath- CT Fox officiating, on Monday, and was very generally attended. The bearers were Messrs John Mulligan, Matthew Colgan, Michael McCarty, Edward Egan and Martin and B. Kelly. In the death of MT Cavanaugh Newtown lost one of it's old and respected citizens, for Mir Cavanaugh was kind and indulgent husband and father and an honest and industrious citizen. For 40 years he has than 20 years past he has lived on his farm near the New England depot at Sandy Hook, not far from the Housaton- ic river. His death is sadly lamented by his family who survive, consisting of a wife, five sons and four daughters, be- side large circle of friends who had learned to respect him for his integrity. The interment was in St Roses cemetery

THE GUITAR RECITAL.

Prof Dunn and his assistant, MT Wag- ner, gave unique and delightful enter tainment at Glover's hall, on Thursday evening of last week, with two guitars. To lover of sweet and beautiful music it was real treat. The audience was very small, but also very enthusiastic. It seems a great pity that so many good things should come to this town and go away wishing they had not come. If people want good things to come to them they must welcome them.

LET BRIDGEPORT HAVE A NORMAL aa SCHOOL.

LET BRIDGEPORT HAVE A NORMAL
 s- SCHOOL.
 Warren H. Lamson, the enterprising builder of the Park City, thinks Bridge ports board of education have made a mistake in not securing a normal school for that city. In a letter in the Union he says:
 The value ot a State Normal School to the progress and welfare of this city cannot be easily estimated. It would be very great. These institutions flourish to the satisfaction of communities in which they are placed in Connecticut, and in nearly every other state in the Union, under the authority and direc tion of state boards of education. Does it not appear ridiculous for our local board to un. dertake to dictate to the state board in the
 matter of management of state institution? What is the result of this pol icy? If the build ing ot 8 Normal school In Bridgeport was as far advanced as it now is in New Haven how much better it would be for us. And now it is 1 proposed in the legislature to distribute these schools more evenly over the territory of the 1 state, and to place one in Norwalk instead o 1 Bridgeport That's reasonable, and as the l boys say, we get left.
