FAIRFIELD COUNTY ITEMS.
WESTPORT—A project it is understood
will soon he slartcd in this place, which if
carried out, will affect more materially than
innything hitherto, the growth and prosperi-
ty of this Town. It is proposed to erect a
large Cotton Manufactory upon the property
now owned by Thomas R. Lees. Here there
is an abundant water power, sufficient to
drive a mill of three or four hundred Looms.
It is {strange that this source of wealth has not {
been made use. of- before. The easy access‘
to New York, by water and rail make
this a desirable situation for doing business.
It is a Well known fact, that many 'of the
Eastern Manufacturing Companieahave been
declaring dividends for» the last few years of?
one hundred per cent._ . .
A new Brass Band has been organized in
Westport, to be called the Westport Cornet
Band. This band comprises many members
of the Winslow Baud. James Punzelt, is
appointed Leader, and it bids fair to become
a very fine Band. , l , ,
A Mr. Smith is teaching a class of ladies
and gentlemen, singing. The class now
numbers about thirty scholars. The meet.
lugs are held in the lecture-room of the Con-
gregational Church Society, every Tuesday
evening. A concert is contemplated.
Thanksgiving was generally observed by
divine service in'the churches. A Union ser-
vice of the Congregational, Rev. Mr. Hetrick
sud Methodist, Rev. Mr. Vinton, was held in ' ‘
the house ofthe former society. The sermon
waspreached by the Rev. Mr. Hetrick and ' "
was an expression of his belief of what con-
stituted the present duty of the American cit-
izen. The text was from Micah, 6—8. The
address was worthy of a larger attendance.
WILTON—The Store of Mr. Swift was en-
tered by Burglars on Friday night, and a
quantity of goods stolen therefrom. An un-
successful attempt was made the same night
to enter the store of N. Comstockrh Son.
The dwelling of Mrs. Charles Gregory was
also entered, the same night, and her winter
supply of Pork taken oil.
The first regular meeting of the “ Wilton
Reading and Social Circle,” was held at the
residence of Mrs. Lucretia Middlebrook on
the evening of Dec. 8th. The following ar-
ticles were read: “Number one,” (Poem)
Thomas Hood; “Night and moonlight,”
(Prose) Thoreau; ‘Romance of Rascality,”
(Prose)E. P. Whi 1e; “Memory,” (Poem,)
W._C. Bryant. After the reading the com-
pany were entertained with music, charades,
etc.
STAMFORD.—-“Is the cause of Temperance
advanced by the enactment of prohibitory
laws 1’" Is the question to be discussed at
the~ Lyceum to-night. Afirmatz’ue.—B. J.
Dasxan. Negative—J. B. CURTIs. Previ-
ous to the debate an address by Rev. J. P_
Halsey. _
The Public School is to be reopened to-
day, in the building .formerly occupied by
Chauncey Warren—Advocate.
The Temperance Festival on Thanksgiv.
ing evening was very largely attendedLarge
Delegations were present from New
Canaan and Norwalk, which would have
been still larger if it had not been for the
storm. ‘ WC hear the address of Dr. Hill, of
thisplace,‘highly commended. The cause
of Temperanée sadly needs agitation and
converts in the good old land of steady
habits.
RIDGEFIELD.—Th_e Jeforsom‘an says that
th‘e‘ béautiful residence of' the late Edward
Godfrey, has been purchased by Daniel L.
Adams, M. D., of New York City.— The
late residence of Rev. D. E. Short, has been
purchased by Howard King, Esq, of Albany
N. Y. '
BRIDGEPORT.—Geo. Wm. Curtis delivered
the first lecture of the Winter . course, on
Wednesday evening,—-subject, “The Good-
Fight.’.’ .
A fire broke out on Saturday evening week
in the dwelling house of Dr. Hubbard on
State Street. Upon the alarm being given
the several engines were promptly upon the
ground and at once commenced to flood the
building with water. The building and fur-
niture were insured in the Cbntincntal Insu
rance Company of New York. The house
will require new walls throughout and the
furniture was so damaged as to be of little
value.
DANBURY.—Burgiars held a festival in
Danbury on Monday night of last week.
Uncle Sam’s Post Office was broken into and
aeveral-letteas robbed of "their contents, and
letters,‘stamps, &c., scattered around the
' floor prontiscuousl'y.—-—The store of S. S.
Peck was entered, but nothing was taken
but crackers and cheese and shoe blocking.
About 5 o’clock next morning a burglar was
found in C. T. Steven’s Store, but escaped
after a scuffle with Mr. 8., who received sev-
eral heavy blows. The thief had secured
$20 in money and was looking for a suit of
clothes—Friday morning week, an “in-
teresting bundle" containing a six' months
old baby was found on the stoop of Mrs.
Sherwood’s Boarding School. The child was.
handed over to the tender mercies of the se-
lectmen. The mother was found and the
Jefi‘erconlan says: "She is a simple woman,
about tWenty years old, whose condition ex-
cites sympathy rather than reproacb. She
said she could not keep the child, and want~
ed to leave it among kind people. . She had
furnished it with two suits of clothes, and
tried to render it comfortable in this cold
world. Heaven help the poor victim of a
mother in such a case, towards Whom socie-
1y points the finger of scorn, while it lets the
villain father pass by unnoticed and unblam-
ed. .He can sleep nights while the mother’s
mind is tortured and rent with thoughts that
lead to self'~destruction."—The First Con-
gregational society have done a commends-
ble thing in purchasing an eligible lot in the
cemetry; and the committee have removed
to it the bodies of their Pastors and families
that have been buried in the difi‘r rent burial
places of the town.——Jefi‘ersonian.
The Times is agitating the subject of‘ a Ska-
ting Fund, and the editors goes into ecstacies
overthe idea of a pond “conducted on healthy
principles and in company, a tour on good
skates, over a good pond, with plenty of
moonlight, hearty laughter and sea room, is
simply a noirpariel performance and no man,
after once patronizing it, will fail'to go again
on the same programme. The owner of it first
rate pair of skate is fortunate, but if the right
kind of spend is not in reach, his prOperty
is a dead loss to all but the assessors, and he
is compelled to resort to the suspicious rec-
reation of sleigh-riding.”—Mr. George
Kiniier, “living in Miry Brook,” was Irecem-
ly assaulted while going home, and stabbed
several times, by a stranger. Kinner drap-
ped, caught tht: fellow by the legs, and threw
him over his back, and didn’t stop to pick
him up.-——The Times devil knows of a ci- I.
derzvat that will hold tWO quarts and will he
leaned cheaply—and frequently.
HE Annual Meeting of the Fairfield
Count Agricultural Society, will be
held at ockwood’s Hall, Norwalk, on
Wednesday, Dec. 20th,'at 10 O’clock, A. M.,
