FAIRFIELD COUNTY ITEMS.
WESTPORT.

At the special t;wu meeting on Saturday, convened
t ) rescind the vote of last week appropriating $8,000
towards the erection of the Saugatuek Bridge, the
motion to rescind was carried by a small majcr-
ity. We think our neighbors sadly err in what is for
their own best interests and advantage. Wehave just
completed a vastly more expensive bridge across our
harbor, at South Norwalk, and not only has it stimu.
latcd the erection of new houses, but; has increased
and improved trade, and the added valuation to prop-
erty directly caused by its erection, would fourfold
cover the interest on its cost. We cannot doubt that
such would be the sure result at Westport. Those
who oppose public improvements at the present day,
should remember that the world moves on, even though
they persist in standing stilL Westport of all other
towns in this county needs to wake up. She is not
half so thrifty,.growing and enterprising as little Da-
rien. As we understand it, only 58,000 is asked of the
town, all the rest being pledged by individual liberali-
ty. The town of Westport can well afford to pay the
entire cost of such a bridge—indeed its tax-payers
and all interested in its prOspcrity cannot afford not to
have it built and we entreat them for their own sakes
and the best interests of their beautiful town to im-

- mediately appropriate all that may be required for an

‘a

immediate construction of their bridge.
The New Barn of J. V. D. Kelly of the Saugatuck
~ Flour and Feed Mill, was destroyed by Fire at about
4 o’clock on Thursday Morning last. The barn con-
tained considerable, Hay, Straw, Feed &c., all of
which was burnt. Loss estimated at about 375mm-
' surcd in the Norwalk Fire Insurance Company for
$200. The tire is supposed to have been the work of
an incendiary. The mill and other buildings were in
great danger, but by the exertions of the neighbors
who promptly rallied with their water buckets. the
dunes were prevented from spreading. There were
6 horses in the stables at. the time, all of ‘which were

ev :ntually rescued.

Mrs. Mary Eliza, rcliet of Joseph Jauucey, M. D.,
died in Brooklyn, June 6th. iler remains were taken
to Westport for interment.

Rev. John E. Smith, of the Memorial church has
resigned the Chaplaincy of the Second Regiment C.
N. G. His health was not much improved by his re-
cent trip to California, and he has now gone to Mine-
sola, accompanied by his mother, to try the pure and
invigorating climate of that region.

Read D. A. Salmon & Co’s new advertisement.

Saturday night last a disgraceful fight occurred in a
drinking Saloon east side the Bridge. growing out of
a heated discussion on the Saugatuck Bridge question.
Hard words led to blows, and a general melee ensued
during which pistols, slung shots and other weapons
were quite freely used. As the result, several men
were badly wounded, and one man, at least is lying
in a very dangerous condition. Such scenes, instiga~
ted by mm are of too frequent occurrence in West-

port. and tend more than anything else to disgrace
that beautiful town in the eyes of people of adjacent
places.

Mnssns. Bunions—Mr F. Burritt, of Saugatuck, has
recently purchased, and erected in his parlor, an Ele-
gant pipe Organ, at a cost, we understand of $2,500.
It being so expensive, and remarkably attractive in
appearance and sound,we cannot allow an opportunity
to pass without speaking of it. This miniature instru-
ment is perfect in its way, and not unlike first class
organs of large size. It contains two ranks of keys,
with the couplers. and mechanical appliances; blows,
by foot or by hand; has one and a half octaves pedals;
independent Sub. Bass of 16ft tone, and an Sft Gamba.
The Diapasous on the Manuals, are rich and full in
tone, which the Jardiue Organs have always been no-
ted for and the Solo Stops are charming, Especially
the Dulciana. Clarianaiaud Cremona, which are re-
markable for sweetness and liquidity of tone. Two
thirds of the organ is enclosed in a Swell Box of pe-

culiar construction, which, by judicious management,
brings out very fine efi'ects.

On the whole the o’rgan is a. great success in every
particular, rivals in power and beauty, many organs
of size in Churches, and has received unqualified
praise from many eompetentjudges.

We congratulate Mr. uurritt on possesing so fine an

nstrument and admire his taste in choosing a pipe-
organ , rather than one of Reeds. N.

NEW CANAAN.

A person named —- Farity has been arrested and
bound over to the Superior Court for trial, on the
charge bf having set fire to the Stables of W. E. Dann
on Thursday evening, the 4th inst.

WESTON.

Messau. Emrons:—Your correspondent a few
weeks ago,was in error in stating that Weston had not;
as yet raised up anyone for Congress. Hon. Samuel
B. Sherwood, a distinguished lawyer, and formerly
State's Attorney, then a member of Congress, was a
Weston man. The town has also sent out some good
and noteworthy men and women, as for instance we
will take one lot of school mates who graduated from
the old “Kittie Creek School House,” : Dr. Samuel B,
Noyes, a nephew of Hon. S. B. Sherwood, who has
been a practising Physician in New Canaan ever since

1310, he is still following his profession, and is well

known to very many of your readers. Burr Noyes.
now deceased, brother of Dr. S. S,, was also a physi-
cian of some note at Sabrook, Conn.

Of the ladies, Rebecca Belden, mother of F. Belden,
Esq., of your town, was an Academy classmate of
Prof. Stewagt, of Andover Theological Seminary; Sally
Sherwood daughter of Hon. Samuel B., and wife of
the late Ex-Gov. Clark Bissell, of your town; Mary
Noyes, widow of Ezra Hawley, of Gatskill, and moth-
er of Rev. Charles liawlcy, D. D., of Auburn, N. Y.;
Mary Ilyde Coley, widow of Levi Coley, of Weston;
these were albwomeu of superior attainmentsand of
great mind and force of character. Surely, for a small
and remote town, we have not done very poorly in the

past,—the future will look out for itself.
Yours, c.,

GREENWICI—I.

Mrs. Smith’s dwelling, near the railroad depot was
struck by lightning about 4 o’clock on Tuesday after-
noon. The roofof the building was torn off. Th eclec-
trie fluid then passed through the attic floor, making
two holes. The ceiling of adjoning bedroom was strip-
ped completely off. Two windows were d ashed out.
The lower floor received no damage. Mrs. Smith
and the children were in a room on the second story
at the time the lighting passed through, but none of
them were injured in the least.

The town of Greenwich has voted to take $50,000 of
the stock of the proposed railroad from Port Chester

rendered quietly when made to look into the muzzle
of a pistol. Sent up.

STAMFORD.

A number of gentlemen have leased for a number
years some twenty six acres of land lying east of
Washington Street. which they are to lay out and or-
nament as a public park. It is to include a half mile
track fifty feet wide. It is to be called “Woodside
Park,” and is expected to be thrown open to the pub-
lic by the 4th of July. .

A Sabbath School Concert Complimentary to Mr. M.
L. Dunn was given on Tuesday night.

An excursion over the New Canaan Railroad, on
the 4th of July is talked of.

The new street leading from the Depot to Main
street, east. of Seely’s Hall, is rapidly approaching
completion, and is already quite a thoroughfare. Mr.
W. R. Bitch, through whose land it passes, has sold
the lot beside the Little Canal, to Messrs. Studwell do
Hobby, and we are informed that these gentlemen
propose to put up immediately a steam planing mill
and grist mill.

The increased attendance at the Graded School has
compelled the Committee to fit up the only vacant
room, and all of the eight rooms are now used, and
most of them are full. About 380 are now in regular
attendance, a larger number than ever before.

At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the

' Speaking of Mr. Eli S. Bartram (Son of D. S. Bars
tram, Esq., of this town,) who has recently establish-
ed himself in the tailoring business in Stamford, the
Advocate says :—”W hen Mr. Bartram came here it
seemed as if there was already a sufiicicnt number in
the buslenssto supply the demand: but by his energy
1nd industry, and, psppgially lll’ his rgmurkable sue:

 

peas as a cutter, he has won for himself a share of the '

patronage ofthe place. It is paying Mr. Bartram no
mean compliment to say that'in professional taste
and skillhe is not inferior to any of the first class tail-
ors already established in our town. Po'ssessingsuch
business advanta‘ges,‘and personally of a social and
agreeable disposition, Mr. Bartram can hardly fail to
meet with contigucd success,

On Wednesday morning, some person or persons,
instigated by the devil, attempted to throw the owl
train from the track, by placing a twenty-foot iron
rail on the road at a point near the New Hope J uuc-
tion,where the train usually goes at its highest rate of
speed. The locomotive struck the rail with such force
that it. cut completely through a telegraph post, while
$11? steam cheat, on one side of the engine, was broken
and. the catth guard nearly demolished. '

The train, however, fortunately retaineditsposition
an the rails. If it had got 011‘ the track, the conse-
quences might have been very serious. It had a
sleeping car attached, which was full of passengers.
Railroad men say it was one of the narrowest escapes
from what might have been a dreadful accident,
which we have had on this portion of the road for
many years. No clue to the perpetrators of the
murderous action has yet been found—Advocate,

 

5.: A man, supposed to be Teddy O’Brien, of Bethel
fell oil’a gravel train on the Honsatonic Road, near
Newrown Station, a few days since, and was killed.

Intoxicated.

BRIDGEPORT.

On Saturday afternoon, June 0th, the stem-tug
“Game Cock,” of New York, left New Haven, for the
former port with five barges, three of them, light in
tow. The sea was very rough, the wind blowinga
gale, and when ofi‘ Black Rock, it was deemed advisa-
ble to put into that harbor. In attempting to do so,

' the barge B. F. Townc,having on board Captain Nich— \

olas McDonald, wife and two children, and Cassius
M. Phillips, 195 tons of' old railroad iron, 25 tons of
which were below, got into the trough of the sea, and
turned partially over, drowning the Captain’s wife and
child. The Captain managed to cling to the railing
oi the barge, and Phillips got on to the mast.

At the time of the accident the Captain’s wife and
children were in the state room on the lower deck,
and a few moments before the catastrophe, she looked
from the window and asked Phillips if there was any
danger. The children were lying on the bed, and she
was anxiously awaiting the result. The Captain star-
ted to go below, and had gone but a few steps from
the wheel when the vessel went over on its beams
end. It is strange that while nothing more was seen
of the wife and child, that hie babe, only 12 months
old, was found floating among pieces of the wreck,
alive and unhurt. It is thought the others became
entangled in the iron bed-stead and stove and that the
mother threw the infant from the window as the ves-
sel lurchcd. The body of the other child was found
on Tuesday. ~

The Bridgeport Gymnasium Asso. has been incor-
porated.

Bunnell, itis shown that the block will bc highly or-
namental to the place.

STRATFORD.

A monster sea turtle was captured in J ohnson’s Mill
Pond, a few days since. The turtle’s back is covered
with long sea grass and barnacles, and it bears unmisp
takablc evidence of being an old veteran. It is sup-
posed that during some heavy gale and high tide, he
was forced to seek shelter in this pond where he has
remained, no one knows how long. The sudden dis-
appearance of whole bro'ods of young ducks, at vari-
ous times lately, by parties living near the pond, is
now charged to his account.

SANDY HOOK.

In looking over your paper, I seldom see anything
from this corner of the county, and'perhaps a word
from this place will not be amiss. Our section of
country is looking finely and the farmers are lookln g
forward joyfully to a rich harvest. Our hills are vo-
cal with the sounds of the lowing herds, which feed
on them. Our roads arejust now in the hands of the
road masters and are looking better for their toll. If
you desire to see a beautiful spot of earth, just ride
down through our “Rocky Glen” and you will be
charmed. It is admired by all who visit it, and it is a
retreat for thousands during the summer. We have a
flourishing temperance society, the "Star of Hope,"
which is doing a good work, there is also a “Band of
Hope” for the children which is just the filing to keep
the children where they should be. Our city friends
are beginning to come among us for a season to enjoy
our views and drives. We have our share of rain this
season and there is no need of our going to the water
for the water comes to us. The farmers are begin-
ing to think about haying and a few cluttering ma-
chines will be heard in our meadows, while some who
are content to be behind the age will keep time to the
music of the scythes in the good old style of our fath-
ers and of our own boyhood days. Fanning
