THE OLD FORGOTTEN,

There will be large delegation of Bethel people who will attend the cele- bration of the 2Soth anniversary of the town of Norwalk on Thursday. The fire department, under Chief John H. Cords, will attend in a body, taking part in the parade of the day.. Also a body of 60 men from Bethel and Dan bury with colored drum corp ac- compaying old No. engine in the line of march. Their dress is something unique and will undoubtedly attract attention. The old machine was pur- chased in the year 1851 and cost $25O. The first fire company was formed February 21, 1881, with "A members. Isaac H. Seeley was chosen foreman and George Clapp assistant. Edward Taylor was the secretary. A charter was granted the same year at the May term of the State Assembly at Hart ford. The organization was continued until about 1869, and was then dis banded. The old engine was laid by and forgotten. Hence its name, "Old FOrgOtten.''

PoLITICAL.-The fine weather of to-
day has given some little impetus to
politics, and the candidates for the
several Offices to be chosen at the May
election and their friends have been do
ing little work. 1t has been virtually
determined to hold two primaries, one
to chose q candidate for the State cor
stiIutionsl convention and the other to
dominate candidates for municipal Of.
fees. Col. Smith and Mr.. Johnson,
candidates for the convention, and their
friends are quite active and are making
quite an spirited canvass. For the mu
nicipal offices candidates have not de.
veloped as rapidly as was last winter
predicted. So far no one has decided
to oppose Mayor Simpson, though
several gentlemen have en"approaoh-
ed" and offered support. Il is reported
that Mr.. r. NJ. Latham will oppose
City Auditor Price, but for the Offices OF
City Attorney, Clerk of Gas, Collector
of Taxes, Inspector of Lumber, aud
Measurer of Wood and Bark, the pres.
ent incumbents, so far, have no oppo-
sition. Il is reported that there will be
many candidates for the City Council,
but they are slow in announcing them
selves. Nearly all the present mem.
bars will stand for reelection, though it
is reported that a few will not do 80.
Mr.. w. E. Latham, of the Second
ward, has announced positively that he
will not be a candidate again. Who
the gentlemen who held the meetings
at the Business Mems Club rooms will
support for Council has not yet been
announced.
