FAIRFIELD couerI'rnms.
Was'rron'r.—It may not he devoid of ill-
terest to learn that we have a few links con-
necting us with the past. The oldest person
living in town, whose life dates back to
Revolutionary times, and who can relate
from observation and experience many in—
cidents of this history, is Squire Disbrow,
now in the 93d year of his age, and in the
enjoyment of his usual health. We are in-
debted to his grandsonh with whom he re—
sides, for these reminiscences of his life. He
was born January 27th, 1775, in the western
part of Fairficld, now Westport, and has al—
ways lived in this vicinity. He has resided
sixty—eight years in his present place of
abode. His earliest recollections date back
to the age of three years. The old Church
in Greens Farms where he received the right
of baptism and attended church in his youth,
was then under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr.
Hezekiah Ripley, who held the position to
pastor and teacher for a period of fifty years.
This church was burned by 'the British du—
ring the Revoiutionary war. He attended
school at Saugatuck, now Westport, for
about six years, Reading, Writing, Arithme—
tic, and sprinkling of Grammar was all that
was taught in the public schools of those
days.
His lather kept an Inn during Revolu—
tionary times, in the old Hezekiah Wake—
man place, recently torn dowu and upon the
sight of which now stands the Memorial
Church. Gen.Washington and staff-Stopped
here on their way to Boston. He related an
incident about the General, &c., from which
he thought him averse to high living, show,
or ostentatious display ; he says he content-
ed hiruself at supper with a plain bowl of
bread and milk; says the General more
frequently stopped on his way through these
parts, with a friend of his, one Col. Marvin,
an officer in the Continental army, living
about half a mile west of the village, in the
place now owned by heirs oi Henry Nash,
near the residence of David M. Marvin, Esq.

' 13' Opposed to the “My Policy" of Andrew
Johnson, believing it detrimental to the best
inlercs.s of thccountry. lie prays for the
right. and hopes to see our country again
united and pruSpcrous. He had four chil-
(lrt-n, three sf whom died at the respective
ages of 6, 18 and 23 years ; his wife died in
1849. He has one son living, Capt. Ebenezer
Dis-brow, who counted it‘no disgrace to be
called an abolitionist, even fifty years ago.
Father, son, and grandson expect to give
their votes at the coming election in favor of
Gov. Hawlcy and his associates.
Last Friday evening a meeting in further-
ance of the cause of temperance was held
at Bells‘s flail. The meeting was opened
with prayer by Rev. Mr. Vintou of the
Methodist Church, aftller which an address
was delivered by Rev. A. N. Benedict of
Stratfield, on the subject of Temperance,
and the necessity of a thorough organization
of those who labored in the cause, in order
that their efforts might beproductlve of more
good. The Rev. gentleman commenced with
an allegorical picture, describing a man who
built his house upon the sand on the sea-
shore, the wind blew, the sea rose and the
house was in great danger‘of being thrown
doWn, so the man took a tin dipper and
sought to dip the sea dry—pouring each dip-
per full upon the sand where it soon disap-
peared ; he soon found his labors worthless
and of no avail, the sea continued to hold
its own, so he came to the wise conclusion
that unless he could strike at the source—
dry up the brooks, rivers, and avenues of its
strength—his labors were futile and weak.
So he said it was with the temperance refor-
mation, we had tried moral suasion, had
sought the advocacy of reformed men, had
petitioned Legislature to enact laws,—all
this had been accomplished and now where
are we? In the very light of all this, we
find more intoxicating drinks sold and drank
than at any former period of our history;
besides the quantity drank openly, hundreds
and thousands of gallons were every year
consumed under the plausible names of Bit-
ters, Extracts, Elixirs, Tonics, and the like.
He described the degredation of him who
gives himself to strong drink, the grief and
wretchedness which he brings on his family,
{I pathy ivitb-fr'e'e"'fhstltutions assumed the in—‘
The road leading by this house also, over
the old bridge above the village and by the
Disbrow Tavern, was the travelled route be-
tween New York and Boston, and was called
the “King’s highway."
He relates an incident of a Mr. Jas. Ben-
nett coming to his father’s Tavern one day
on business, leaving his horse hitched near
by while he went inside ; presently the Ex—
press rider came in great haste on very ur—
gent business, he also alighted and came in
and after finishing his business he hurriedly
left, taking Mr. Bennett’s horse which he
saw saddled and bridled, supposing it was
one brought out forhim, in exchange for the
one he had just rode up, placed himself in
the saddle and away he went leaving the
Inn-keeper and~Mr. Bennett shouting lustily
after him to bring back the horse, but he
failed to hear and was soon out of sight and
rode on to Stamford, the next place for
changing horses, before he found his mis—
Mr. Benuett‘s horse was returned the
next day with many apologies. The custo—,
mary mode of travel in those days was on
horseback ; a few only, and those of the
wealthy classes indulged in gigs or chaises.
The mail and express business was mostly
done on horseback and no one racked their
brains over the rise and fall of stocks, or de-
pleted their purses by following the advice
of Bulls or Bears.
The laws were very severe in those days.
For very small crimes or offences people
were fined or taken to the whipping-post.
Many were fined for abreach of the Sabbath,
such as riding out for pleasure, sporting,
fishing; and others were warned out of
town for conduct unbecoming good citizens.
The old whipping post stood on the green
near Greensfsrms Church, and was used un-
til within a few years for a sign post ; it has
the expense which is created, and of which
the public must bear the charge, the ruin of
good morals, which must follow the increase
of this, or the peril into which it brings free
institutions. Opposite this be portrayed the
spectacle of heartbroken wives, ragged and
viscious children, homes, incomparison with
which aprison or an almshouse is a para-
dise, scenes of strife in which brutal pas-
srons cfiace all that is manly or tender. Is it
thus necessary to depict the reality, to en-
lighten the public mind and rouse the con-
science of the inattentive? “To neglect to
,do so," said the speaker, “is to overlook the
largest source of expense, crime and wretch-
edness with which society is burdened.” A
different state of things now presents itself
to our notice, individuals and society needed
reconstruction as much as states and nations.
A reaction has commenced, reluctant as we
may be to couieSs this we are no longer able
to deny it, the tendency both in the city and
in the country, is toward an increase of in-
temperance.
Intoxicated persons may often be seen in our
streets—a sight which ten years ago was
comparitiVely rare. And what is yet worse
as a sign of the times, many who once took
part in carrying on the good work have
ceased to be its active supporters; whilea
general distrust appears to prevail in regard
to the efficiency of the Temperance refor-
mation or the laws made in pursuance there
of. This is not the time to look on in de-
spair or with unconcern. 0n the contrary,
it is an hour which calls for a most earnest
consideration of the true methods of banish-
ing-an evil which now hangs oVer the land
likea portentious cloud, and the return of
which should be more dreaded titan famine
or pestilence.
He urged upon all good and wise men, all
young men, all mothers and maidens, and
all who bestow any thought on the present
or entertain any hope for the future, to enlist
themselves among the number of those
whose watchwcrd is, "An end to inlemper-
ance,” . Let there be one common, strong
and unquenchabfe purpose to extirpate a
vice which sullies the glory, weakens the
strength, debases the character and endan-
gets the existence of the Republic.
This is but a meager description of the
now rotted away.
Slaves were not sold at auction much at
that time, but repeated instances were known
of their being sold at private sale or traded
off as cattle are in these days. The institu-
tion was looked upon with great disrespect.
His father did not own slaves but many of
Reverend gentleman’s discourse. A few re-
marks were made by Revs. Hetrick and Vin-
ton, after which a paper was circulated
among the audience to obtain names in favor ‘
of starting aSons of Temperance order.
Thirfy~four names were procured and a
his neighbors did, slaves were, however, sold
or exchanged but seldom, and generally re-
mained in the families where they' were
committee out; of the number were appoint-
ed to carry out their wishes.
Dennis Courtney a blacksmith, was arrest-
ed last Wednesday for drunkenness; fined
born or reared. They were employed as so]-
diers in the army, and white and black, he
says, fought side by side. He recollects
many of the engagements with the enemy
on Long Island, one of which was
..the taking of Fort Solongo, near Loyd’s
Neck, by our forces,and the subsequent land.
ing in flat boats of the prisoners and guns at
Fox Cove, Compo. He was a personal wit-
ness of the scene. Also recollects the land—
ing of the British, at difierent times, along
our coast and the'consternatiotr of the peo-
ple in consequence; recollects the horror
and widespread indignation which prevail—
ed at the burning of Norwalk, Greensfarms,
Fairficid and Danbury, and the flight of old
and young into the interior or back country
' to escape the cruelties of the advancing ene-
my; says it seems but yesterday, Linen and
woolen goods were the principle fabrics
worn. The wardrobe of a lady in those
days was her only fortune, and if she had a
good stock of linens, woolens and lromc~
made stockings, &c., she was 'absolutely an
heiress. The ladies therefore were very anx—
ious to display these powerful attractions to
the greatest advantage, and the best rooms
In the house were always hung round with
abundance of homespun garments, the manu-
facture and the property of the females.
Saturday night was religiously observed.

Balls, andfivr’tfis were quite common, and
included spinning, basking, apple-pealing
and quilting parties. A fiddle was generally
the music used on such occasions. One fid—
dler, William Grey, had saved up tWenty
pounds in this way, which he left for his pos-
terity to quarrel ogdauce over. The men
powdered their heads, wore breeches and
shoes, decorated with enormous copper or
silver-buckles. The old men wore their hair
in a cue hanging down the back. The ladies
decorated their heads with high born or
shell combs, wore short dresses of home-
made wooten cloth, and linsey—woolsey
aprons, and no one bothered their heads
withgbustles, hoops, or waterfalls. Such
were the happy days they tell us never
to be forgotten, when everything was better
than it has been since or ever will be again.

New CANAAN.-Tlle Sons of Temperance
celebrate their anniversary on Wednesday
evening. The Norwalk and Stamford Divis-
ions have been invited to participate.
Maj. James Huggerty, of N. Y., Z. K. Pang-

New Orleans, Were announced to address a
meeting at the Town Hall, Yesterday (Mon-
day) evening.
For a long time past the rummies have had
gained nothing by their administration of
afi‘airs. Now the temperance people have
decided to take a turn at the wheel,’and run
the machine awhile for themselves. They
have commenced by ordering all the rum
shops in town to close, which action has cre-
ated some excitement in certain quarters,
but will undoubtedly be sustained by the
people.

Similar entertainments had been given by
the different members of her family once a
week through the winter and the circle was
completed by the grandmother giving the
last. She took the premium for furnishing
the best spread table. May she live long to
enjoy many such entertainments.
