glutwallt Cantu. 678.7 Tuesday, August725, 18 PAIRFIELD COUNTY ITMES. . __..—— ROWAYTON. The “Imperial Coteric” of South Nouwalk gave a complimentary Sociable at the Montgomery House, on Thursday evening last, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. J. 1’. Chambers. ‘ Mr. John F. Kensett, the distinguished landscape painter. has been occupying his studio on Content- ment Island in company with Mr: Vincent Colyer; this Summer. He has made some charming Studies of the Coast and woodlands. Simple groups of trees, hill sides, and rocky bits which the majority of people would pass by as unworthy of notice, become beauti- ful pictures under his skilful touch. ' The Hon. Theodore Fay, late minister to Switzer- land, and other agreeable people are stopping at the Montgomery House. which has been well filled with guests of late. Nearly every farm house in the neigh- borhood has been called upon to throw open its doors to boarders, and the increase of business this throws upon our Shopkeepers is quite marked. Mr. Dibble has to fly around lively, but is always obliging. The ladies of the Baptist church give their Summer Fair in aid of the church, on Thursday and Friday evenings of this week; . they produce some novelties on the occasion through the aid of some friends spending their summer months at the place, and these, together with usual attractions of pleasant company, good music, flowers, fruit, ice cream, confectionery, &c., promise to make the affair a marked success. NEW CANAAN. Theives also relieved Dr. Parker of bar- nesses, blankets, etc., reccncly. Five trains each way run daily on the New Canaan & Stamford Railroad. There are four intermediate stations on the line. On Wednesday night last a light bay horse was sto- len from Mr. Benj. N. Heath, together with a buggy belonging to one of his neighbors. Mr. H. offers a rewardof 550 for the return of the property. The ladies of the Congregational Society are to hold a Fancy Fair, under the County Agricultural So- ciety’s Tent, commencing on Thursday evening and continuing through Friday afternoon and evening. This entertainment will furnish an excellent excuse, if any is needed, for our young people to take ade- lightful moonlight ride, and we hope many of our cit- izens will be present to enjoy the occasion with theiP- New Canaan friends. Mr. Benj. Hoyt also had a Harness stolen one night last week. A pedler driving into town, one day last week was met near the Catholic Church by a couple of fellows who, stopping his team demanded that he should alight, to this he‘dcmurcd, and pulling a Revolver from his pocket he pointed it at them and asked if that was what they wanted. They immediately let go their hold and run. Pity he didn’t give them the benefit of two or three charges. ' WESTPORT. James Snagg has been appointed draw tender for Westport bridge, vice Capt Smith, resigned. ' Squire Disbrow, who was supposed to be the eldest man in town, died rather suddenly on the 16th inst., :37?” age of 93 years, having been born in the year 0 . The ladies of the Congregational church, are to hold a fancy Fair, on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, for the benefit of the Church and Sunday School. Some novel- ties are to be introduced on this occasion to interest and amuse those who attend. The object is a worthy one, and the ladies are deserving of liberal encouragement, and gen- erous “material aid.’.’ The New York &. New Haven Railroad CO., have been beautifying their bridge at Saugatuck, by. driving piles under and on . both sides of it. Lest any one not interested in the road should think the Bridge was , weak and unsafe, the company wish it un- derstood that they have perfect confidence in the Bridge and drive those piles only to adorn it and furnish Sunday amusement to the citizens, the work being done on that day. ' E. S. Wheeler, Esq., is building a fine double house for the use of the workmen in his Button Factory. Landon Ketchum, Esq., has just ' comple- ted a beautiful and substantial Bridge con- necting his own land with that of Mrs. Ben- nett. He has.also built two cottages, one for his gardener and the other as a play house for his children. ’A little ,son of James Condor was so bad- ly burned Thursday afternoon that he died Friday morning. We understand that his clothing took fire from matches with which he was playing. John H. Treadwell, Esq., somewhat no- ted as a writer and author of “Pathway of a Great Enterprise,” published in Putnam’s for September, has been spending a week at the residence of his father in Westport. Some weeks since the henery of Mr. H. R. Treadwell, Esq., was entered and several valuable fowls Of the Brahma variety 'sto- len. Mr. T. has since learned that a near neighbor had some large chickens for din- ner about the time his were stolen and therefore has reason to believe that they were his. Should the thing occur again and the like suspicious circumstances, he will mention the name of the party suspect- ed, in the GAZETTE, and for fear of a repeti- tion he has decided to build a new and sub- stantial house for his trio hens near his ' dwelling. Wesley Perry, Esq., has laid the founda- tion for a new house for his own use on the Depot road. ' DANBURY. Chailcs E. Goodale is putting up a house on Rose Hill Aaron Morehouse is putting up a dwelling house on his lot on Town Hill St. The names of the persons buying lots of D. Pearce Abbott, on Crofut’s Hill, are Wales R. Jennings,Moses A. Wheeler, Elisha Morris and James R. Ladd. The last three named are to build at once. The new blocks being finished for Superintendent Bacon andthc Benedict Brothers, are the handsomest in town. The place on Balmforth Avenue, recently bought by Dr. Wm. P. Stevens, was sold last Wednesday to S. A. Barnum, for 82,600. Ives & Ely have sold a place on Clapboard Ridge, offour acres, to R. G. Knapp, for $2,100. , The Jackson Democrat Club will raise another ban- ner, 20x30 feet, on Main Street, on Saturday, Aug 29. Somebody has promised to loan the town $6,000 to be applied to town farm purposes, and will demand neither principal nor interest, while the system of providing for the town poor is the same as is contem- plated under the new arrangement—Times. The immense quantity of rain which fell Thursday afternoon, caused a sudden and tremendous rise of water above the new dam constructed for water power purposes, just above Harrison Flint’s new factory, at the upper end of Main street.‘ A gap thirty feet long was made in the dam, and the rush of waters carried all before it, breaking down the arch bridge in Main street. The damage to Mr. Flint and to the town must have been great. It has been decided to run the Fishkille Railroad through Danbury, and notices have been served to owners of land on the line to meet the R. R. Commis- sioners at the D. At N. R. R. Depot on'l‘hursday morn- ing next, 21th inst. It is intended in a few days to put a steam excavator within two or three miles east of Danbury, and to commence operations all along the line, as soon as the diferent sections can be laid out. At Newburg large coal yards are being con- structed for the accumulation of coal to be conveyed over this road as soon as opened. . Host of the Fairfield county lawyers are courting in Danbury. I. W.

The meet. tug was held under the auspices of the St. Patrick’s Total Abstinence Society. Dan Rice performs in Stamford on Wednesday, 26. The G. A. R. held a pic-hie at Pound Rock last Wednesday. . We have heard many and great complaints of the roads in every section of’ our town. Almost every hill seems to be the bed of a river, that has left only its stones and pebbles to tell the tale of its departed waters. One impulsive chap tells us there is not a road in town fit to drive or walk upon, and that it is a disgrace to the authorities, and we rather think there is much truth in it. The St. Patrick’s Total Abstinence Society will hold their first pic-uic at Bridgeport, on Wednesday, 20th instant. 'M fi.,.,f. A petition numerously signed has been forwarded to the Postmaster General, asking for the establish~ ment of a Post Office at Spriugdale, on the New Ca- naan railroad. The street around the railing of Central Park isbe- ing paved,—a long-needed improvement,—A dnocate. W. J. Clark, of Southingtou, Conn., while stopping at the depot to send a telegram, on Monday afternoon 17th inst., was robbed of his vallse containing U. S. bonds to the amount of $7000. and other papers. 'Au old-umbrella mender and woman companion wholcft in a down train just before Mr. CI'discovcrcd his loss, were suspected, and officer Chas. Alphonse started in pursuit. The woman was found at New Rochelle, with the valise in her possession, but the bonds had been abstracted. Shc finally accompanied the ofiicers to Portchcster and showed them where thebonds were hidden in a stone fence. The man was not found. ~ *4. r—0 _..._.__. BRIDGEPORT. The number of vessels which arrived at this port from foreign countries, during the fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1368, was seventy-one. The value of the merchandise imported in them, was $97,273.42, The amount of duties collected upon the above, by the Collector of Customs, was- 843,293,64. The total amount of receipts from Customs from all sources, paid into the United States Treasury during the pe- riod mentioned, from the district of Fairfield, was $47,856.07. The third game between the Bridgeport club, of this city, and Osceola club of Stratford, was played on Thursday last and won by the former— making two out of three. One seine, hauled in at Black Rock, contained eleven good-sized sharks. A torpedo, carelessly exploded, lodged on the house of Dr. Davis, of Bridgeport, Wednesday evening, and nearly set fire to the premises. As a clog dancer at Bridgeport on Monday was ex- hibiting his powers of jumping at the pic-nic at Frycs Grove, he miscalculated his distance and fell down the embankment into the river, a height of thirty-six feet. His face and nasal organ were sadly disfigured. The St. Paul‘s and Methodist Sabbath Schools, East Bridgeport, pic-niccd on Wednesday. A man trying to get on the Nougatuek train while in motion, Tuesday evening. fell between the cars, and had a narrow escape from instant death.

There is no hall in Bridgeport, half large enough to hold the hosts who desire to attend the Grant and Colfax meetings, and therefore the Standard urges the erection of a Wigwam. The New York Tribune says: , “The cxteution of State st., Bridgeport, Conn., will make one of the finest avenues in New England. Mr. P. T. Barnum is about to erect a beautiful summer residence in Bridgeport, Conn., on an eligible site overlooking the “Seaside Park,” and commanding a fine water and landscape view. There is music in this park during two evenings of each wee '.” Chas. May, Esq,, of Savannah, is in Bridgeport with his 58,000 horsenvhich he will enter at the fair in New Haven, in September. The work on the extension of the Gun Shop, in the Eastern District, was commenced yesterday. The new part will be of brick and will be 100 feet long. The Bethesda Sunday School, numbering about 300 children and teachers, marched to Pembroke Grove on Friday last, with drums heating and flags flying and enjoyed a pic-nic. East Bridgeport has a natural curiosity in the per- son of young Miss aged 11 years, who is shorter than Tom Thumb, has a face and head on her as large as and resembling a full grown person. Size is fat and bright, weighing we should judge about 65 pounds, and her unque appearance attracts general attention. The Rev. J. L. Peck, of this city, has gone to Den- ver City to preside-over a Methodist parish. The East Bridgepot Congregational Society have voted to purchase the lot corner of Park and Barnum streets, as a site for a church which will be erected as seen as the necessary means can be procured.

FIRST—Its completeness in its arrangements and combinations as a perfect fruit preserver. SECOND—It is provided with a divided Ring, which I is easily attached to or detached from the Neck of the J or, and secured by a Bail.

' ' Rapidlty and excellence of construction have been secured by a complete division oflobor, and by dis- tributing the twenty thousand men employed along the line for long distances atonce. It is now proba- ble that the Whale Line to the Pacific will he completed in 1869. The Company have ample means of which the Gov- ernment grants the right of way, and all necessary timber and other materials found along the line of its ‘ operations; also 12,800 acres of land to the mile, taken in alternate sections on each side of the road; also United States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from $16,000 to $48,000 per mile, according to the ditlicul- ties to be surmounted on the various sections to be built, for which it takes a second mortgage as securi- ty, and it. is expected that not only the interest, but the principal amount may be paid in services render- cd by the Company in transporting troops, mails, &c. TIIE EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, from its Way or Local Business only du- ing the year ending June 30th, 1803, amountcd to ov- cr Four Million Dollars, which after paying expenses was much more than sufficient to pay the interest upon its Bonds. These earnings are no indication of the vast through traflic that must follow the opening of the line to the Pacif- ic, but they certainly prove that FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS upon such property, costing nearly three times their amount, Are Entirely Secure. The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for $1,000 each, and have coupons attached. They bear an- nual interest,payablc on the first days ofJanuary and July at the Company’s Oilleeiu the City of New York at the rate of six per cent in gold. The principal is payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, and at the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal income on their cost. A very important consideration in determining the value of these bonds is the length of time they have to run. ' a It is well kn'own that along bond always commands a much higher price than a short one. It is safe to assume that during the next thirty years, the rate of interest in the United States will decline as it has done in Europe, and we have a right to expect that such six per cent. securities as these will be held at as high a. premium as those of this Government, which in 1857 were bought in at from 20 to 23 per cent.above par. The export demand alone may produce this re- sult, and as the issue of a private corporation, they are beyond the reach bf political action. The Company believe that their Bonds at the pres- ent rate, are the cheapest security in the market, and the right to advance the p_ricc at any time is reserved. Subscriptions will be received in NORWALK by The NATIONAL BANK of NORWALK, and in New York At the Company’s Office, No. 20 Nassau St., AND Dr John J".

Parties subscribing through local agents, will look to them for their safe delivery.
