FIVE MILE RIVER.
Jlfr. .E(fl‘f0F---S‘l’I‘-—rFll011? are so in:iiiy re-
p rts of ridiculeand disgrace, iind so inan_v iuinds
filled with horror relative to this “dreadful
place,” that 1 Llt'(‘.lll it not improper to sketch ii
few of its leading characteristics and submit
them to your attention.
Five Mile River (I allude to the central por-
tions), though small, is universally known to
the coniniunity as a place proclivious to iiiebra-
tion and partial Tmrt/y/isni. The belief of the
former is not inoro obliterated by an occasional
death or suicide prococdiiig from ,the intoxicat-
ing poison, which, as generally understood, is
purcliasr—-<_l at this place. And that ofthe latter
is not the less confirnied by the sound of the
I‘C2:r°lI‘lCS, with which we are annually beset.aud
which inevitably meets the ears of the passcrs
by.
Of the former, perinit me to give a few rc-
niarks. \Vhen teiiiperance first begun its glo-
rious toil in Five Mile River, there were;
enuiiieratcd not. less than four groggeries, orl
places where ardent spirits were vendcd, in?
and around this vicinage, but with uiiwearied
diligence it finally succeeded in thc':r utter
deniolitioii. But lo I no sooner (lid it cease its
action, than another grogery sprung up in our
midst with its agents of tlentli, and within a
stone’s' throw oftlie place where a former one
dealt. out. its venom. Imagine a hickory pole
standing in an arczi, with the glorious appclation,
“vic'ror.r,” nailed on it in bold relief, and a
motley gang of baccliaiiiiliaiis lounging around
willi a. grog-shop within twenty paces of the
pole, and you have :1 true conception of the
place where a person who recently died in a
stable, was poisoned. And this intrepid work
of death, is carried on exactly opposite the
house in which we held our temperance meet-
ings; thus you can see for what it. is doiic—
merely for spite.’ \Vliat.' killing human
beings in despite of the teniperancc cause, and

The intoxicating poison which OCC.'lSl0ll0(l the
recent death in New Canaan, was, I understood,
inblicly reported in the Fountain, to lnive been
purcliiised at Five Mile River. This was as
gross a misrepresentment as was ever published.
Five Mile River had no more to do in connec-
tiouiwitli this death, than did Nowl-Iaven. But
this disgraceful error was reprcseiited to be :1
7ILi.vpI‘i7Il .’ ‘
‘ “ So far so goot .” New I will ask your at-
tention to the disgusting rcrelrics which annually
visit us. You are well aware that through the
mouth of August, a geiieml visit to the sea-
shore is indulged in. \Vell, this is all well
enough ; but when the people who visit us for
this purpose, conduct; in such a manner as to
disgrace the neighborhood, is that right ? There
is ii certain class, perhaps properly (l0ll0ll’lll'll1t(5(l
“the b-hays and g-/utls,” round the oiit.-skirts
of New Canaan, who visit here some two or
three times a year during the month of August,
and for wli:it.'.l To civilly refresh tlieinselvcs
by partaking of the sea-sliore enjoymeiits ? N o!
But to annoy the pcaceable inhabitants by
scenes of revolting revcliiig. The participators
in these carousnls are, peradventure, the first
to make them known abroad, and thus vilify
Five Mile River, by blazing that which they
tlieiiisclves took a conspicuous part in promoting.
After giving these things a due consideration,
who cannot but admit that the dishonor which
Five Mile River has gained abroad, is more
imputable to other people than to the inhabitants
themselves? If the perceptions of such people
would readily see their total absence would‘
be the most agreeable to the wishes of this
community, and contribute greatly towards
establishing peace and a better reputation to
this vicinage: If there should be any incredu-
lit.y felt as toithe truth of thevabove remarks,_the
reader need only to visit; this place‘ any tniic
during the present‘: month, and he will not
hesitate to testify to' their‘ autheuticityr...
