WESTPORT.

The Board of Incorporation of the Songs-
-. tuck Railroad met at Gray’s Hotel, on Tues-
day last. A Committee of two gentlemen
~from each town along the route was chosen
f to solicit subscriptions to the stock. The
‘ route of this road will be from the Depot at
' Saugatuck, up the valley of the river, making
a connection with the Shepaug Valley Rail-
road, somewhere in the town of Newtown,
Trhus making a a continuous line from Litch-
field to .New York. .The road, when com-
pleted, will be a great advantage, not only
to Westport, but to all the towus along the
route, and open up a beautiful country with
some of the best water powor in this part of
the State. It is to be hoped that every one
in Westport having sufficient ’means will
subscribe -to the capital stock of this road,
if not for the value of the stock itself, from
the fact that it will largely increase the value
'of property in the town.

The books of subscription will be open at
I'Gray’s Hotel every Saturday in December.
Geo. S. Adams and Abel Brear are the Com-
mittee.

'During the last week a beautiful monu-
ment has been erected over the grave of
David S. Burr, M. D. It. is made of brown
stone, twelve feet in height, with a suitable
inscription and Masonic emblems.

Much credit is due J. E. Wheeler, Esq.,
Dr. Geo. ,3. Benton, and other members of
the Committee, for the manner in which
they have carried out the views of thOse who
have cheerfully furnished the money to erect
this structure to the memory of one of our
most loved and honored citizens.

The Episcopal Churches in town are
making extensive preparations for cele-

‘brating the coming Christmas festival. The
services at the Church of the Holy Trinity,
on Christmas eye, will be similar to those of
last year, being a full choral service, with a
processional hymn by the scholars of the
Sunday School,» "

We understand the. citizens of Green’s
Farms are erecting a newdepot on the line
of the N ew York and New Haven Railroad.
on the Green.'- The building will be 24 by
80 feet, and will be a great convenience to
farmers and others in the vicinity.

The barn of Horace Staples,Esq., together
with two horses, a large quantity of hay,
die, were destroyed by - fire on Sunday
morning, Dec. 6th. Owing to the large
quantity of snow on the roofs of the adjoin-
ing houses, and the efforts of the citizens,
the fire was prevented from spreading.

DARIEN.

The festival given by the Tempeme
Union, to assist in the establisment of a ~
reading room and library, was held on Tues.

"*_ day and Wednesday evenings. The people
of Darien responded with their usual liber-
ality, and the result was a complete success,

tlforoughly repaired, for a dwelling house.

?The Catholic Society are negotiating for
the Townsend property, on Deer Hill. The
society proposes to purchase the property
and erect a fine church thereon, with school
house and parsonage.

A mania for velocipedes has infected the
young ideas of this section of the town.

thousand dollars and Haggerty in three hun-
dred dollars. .

portion of the goods were found in the base—
ment of the new Method ist church. ,

A number of Street lamps have been put

STAMFORD.
- The Advocate says Stamford is infested
with door mat thieves. ,
" Building and other improvements are more
active than usual at this season of the year.
Co'mparativfi a large number of new build-
iugs are now in the course of erection or
have been lately finished. Some of these
are first class private residences; others,
houses for persons of limited means, and we

’ ..'Zi:nOtiCe:anany additions to houses already

erected, and it may be fairly said that the
spirit of progress and improvement is active
in our town at the present time;

The trotting. match of" $100, at Woodside
Park,‘ oh? Thanksgiving day, was won by
Sylvester Knapp’s black mare. Time 8:32.

Mrs. Starr Hoyt, of West Stamford, has
received reliable information that she has
become heir to a large property in England.

Speaking of Skating the Advocate says :—

“Our young men are not remarkable for their
social enterprize."
j A young fat hog, weighing 300 pounds,
was stolen hour the place of B. F. Cook, at
the Waterside, Thanksgiving eve. The
same night a man stole a peek of coal from
the Canal Company.

Arrangements are in progress for a course
Of first class Lectures, in addition to those we
have had. Gen. Kilpatrick will open the
course to be followed by S. H. Tyng, Rev.
Dr. Tifi‘any,John.B. Cough and one other,
possibly Nasby. The price for the course of
five lectures to Season Ticket holders will
be one dollar. Single admission 50 cents.
The enterprise is under the management of
the Lyceum and Young Men’s Christian As-
sociation. .

At a hotel, not a thousand miles from
Stamford, a guest on retiring to his room left
a rather peculiar looking cam in charge of
the clerk. A porter happening to see it, and
being possessed of the universal yankee fac-
ulty of looking for the why and wherefore
of everything, he endeavored to discover the
the uses of the ingenious cane. Calling a
friend to his aid, both fooled" with it for
some time, until suddenly a loud report was
heard and a bullet from the cane passed
through the ' ceiling, narrowly missing one
of the parties concerned.

Some one stole the red sign‘al lamp from
the rear of a train, which stopped at the de-
pot on Thanksgiving eve—Admin

NEW CARS“-

Mr. L. M. Monroe has offered to build on
his lot above the Post Ofilce, a three story
brick store, ‘aimilar to the one just completed
by D ’Artois at South Norwalk, if the Young

EMsn’s Christian Association wiil agree to

The Misses Weed have purchased the

house of Mrs. Mary E. Lambert, near the

, New Cannan-Mctropollzed.

Railroad communication having opened
new facilities for enterprise in this vicinity,
we have to chronicle its progress as it be—
comei developed. A branch of industry
hitherto unproductive in this locality was
started here on Friday night between the
hours of 2 and 3 o‘clock, by three dcxtrous
gentry who probably had leave of absence
born the great metropolitan ring ; they com-
menced the exhibition of their skill by en-
tering the store of Raymond & Pardee, with-
out the use of‘ the ordinary keys. Our
watchman discovering their assiduity, step-
ped across the street to invite a couple of his
neighbors to witness the phenomenon ; the
barking of a-dog disturbed the scene, and
the next discovery of our watchman and
.his friends were the appearance of three
men at the mouth of the road north of Ray-
.niond & Pardee’s store. There were three
of them and three of us, we hailed them and
they started for the country on a double
quick; we gave them a parting salutation in
the shape of five or six shots, they returned
the greeting in like manner.

Feeling that a more formal meeting would
be more appropriate, four of our most dis-
creet citizens after securing the proper cre—
dentials followed on their track as far as the
depot at Stamford, for the purpose of invi-
ting them: back to our hospitable village ;
failing to meet them, and being‘uncertain
whether they took to their burrow or the
first morning train, we feel called upon to
explain to them, that their call was entirely
unexpected; we were not prepared to receive
them. We have now obviated that difficul-
ty and whenever they choose to give us
another call we promise to give them a
warm reception, and if agreeable to them,
we will elevate them to the highest ,
in town. N.

 

BRIDGEPORT. .

At the hour of closing the Pequonnock
Bank Monday, the Cashier, Mr. Higby, no-
ticed that a box belonging to Mr. C. B.

placed in the vault of the bank for safe-keep-
ing, was missing, and he immediately insti-
tuted inquiries as to whether Mr. Hotchkiss
had removed' it or not. Mr. H. was found
and declared that he had not removed it,
and it therefore became apparent that ‘the
box had been stolen. The contents of the
box amounted to about $90,000 in Securities
of Which not over $20,000 were in funds
available to the robber, the remainder being
11 registered bonds, and stocks of‘ various
kinds.

, A man named George Hancock Broddcr-
ick, a tool maker employed byJ. D. Alvord,
Esq., at the Wheeler dz Wilson manufactory
in East Bridgeport, was found dead in his
bed Thursday morning at about 10 O’clock.
A little boy about 8 years old, son of Mr.
John Beach, living on Division street, in
this town, while playing on the hay mow in
his father’s barn on Thursday, morning fell
a distance of about‘20 feet to the floor, strik-
ing upon his head, and receiving,"it is fear-
ed, fatal injuries.

The “Punch Cigar Store" of S. Simonson
217 Main street, was entered by burglars
Friday night and meerschaum goods, ‘pipes
and cigar holders to the value of over $300
were stolen. The robbers broke in at a rear
door, and cleaned out one show case of
goods almost entirely. The stock was new
and valuable. I

Active preparations are being made for
the Ball of Americus Hose 00., No. 6, on the
evening of December 22d. '
Mariners and all other who have occasion
to go down upon the Sound in ships, willbe
glad to hearthat a new light-house is about
being erected on Old Field Point, on the
Long Island shore nearly opposite this port.
It will be thirty feet west of the present one
and will cost about $9,000. It will be com-
pleted in the spring together with a new
dwelling for the keeper. ~

The details of a nice little confidence
swindle perpetrated on some of our business
men have just transpired. The thing took
place last summer, but has been kept pretty
close. Recently, howevir, it has leaked out
and for the benefit of those who may get
bitten in a like manner, we publish the facts
in the case. Sometime in June last, a man
went to two well known and responsible
farmers living in this town a little north of
the city, and represented that he had a pat-
ent article for killing borers in trees, showed
some testimonials, made inquiries concern-
ing fruit, &c., and finally promised to send
them each a specimen of his patent article,
after using which they could order more if
they liked. He then requested their auto-
graphs as additions to the list that he show-
ed, and for the purpose of obtaining their
address. They signed as he desired, but sign-
ed a blank paper unsuspectingly, and over
the signatures the sharper afterwards wrote
negotiable notes, payabls at one of our no-

The amounts of the notes were not large
enough to excite suspicion, and he brought
them to the city,and easily got them discoun-
ted by parties who occasionally “do” paper,
but who are not in the habit of being l‘done”
themselves. The signatures were genuine,and
there was nothing to excite suspicion, as the
makers were well known and perfectly re-
sponsible. The maturing of the notes of
course discovered their fraudulent character,
and so the matter stands now; the parties
whose names were signed to the notes, de-
claring that they never signed them, and the
holders claiming that they bought them in
good faith, and‘thcy are genuine documents
at least as far as the signatures are concern-
ed. Persons cannot be too careful about
signing their names to blank paper at the re-
quest of strangers, and when they do such a
thing however innocently, they must be to
a great extent responsible for the conse-
quences. ,

—-The Denver Pacific Railway and Tele-
graph Company have concluded a contract
for the building of u tele raph line along
the railroad grade from enver to Chcy~
enne, to be completed by Jan. 1st.

—Commissioncr Wells gives the cost of
the retail traflic in intoxicating liquors in
Connecticut alone at $35,000,000 annually.
This sum would support all the benevolent
and philanthropic institutions in the coun-
try. To this may be added an_immense
sum for tobacco. The cost of rum. and to-
bacco would be more than sufficient to de-
fray the expense of educating every chilp
in the land.

combinations us a perfeclfrui'tprescrver.

I Sxeoxn-lt is provided with'a divided Ring. which
is easily attached to or detached from the Neck of the
Jar. and secured by a Ball. I

Tunic—When the band and ball are applied, its
combinations form a complete handle, thereby dis-
pensing with all lifters or other appliances, which
have hitherto been in use for removing the Jar from
boiling water.

Fona'ru4lt is constructed with a Glass Cover, which
sets over the. neck of the Jar, resting on an elastic
band on the outer surface of‘ the shoulder, thus pre-
venting any flavor hciug imparted to the fruit by me-
tslic or poisonous substances. This advantage alone
enders its superiority such as to bring it into imme-

iate and general use with the public.
