The Rev. Curtis T.~-Woodruif is to Lecture
in the Chapel this (Tuesday) evening, for
the benefit of the Chapel. Give him a full
house.
DARIEN.
On Tuesday evening, the ablelecturer Mr.
S. M. Hewlett, gave a highly entertaining
lecture toa delighted audience in the con-
gregational church in this place. The sub-
ject was “Muzzle that Dog," setting forth in
a clear. and sensible manner the necessity
and protection afforded the community by
law in the sale of improper articles of food
and demand for a similar protection in the
sale of adulterated- and poisonous liquors the
use ofwhich is carrying death and destruc-
tion in so many households of our land.
The lecture abounded in comic illustra-
tions as well as forcible argument and can-
not fail to do good. Mr. Hewlett has prom-
ised to lecture in Darien again, after the com-
pletion of his western tour of engagements
on which he has just entered.
The lecture proved also pecuniarily suc-
cessful, and as there are some who were dis-
appointed in not having an opportunity to
attend, it is well to state that the popular
lecturer Rev. C. T. Woodrufl‘ of Norwalk,
has promised to deliver a lecture for the
same object, the time and subject of which
will be duly announced. . -
On Wednesday evening, A. E. Macdonald
Esq. dclivereda lecture to a full house in
the Presbyterian church, on Egyptian Wo—
men, which doubtless also proved rcmtulc-
rative.
The two new houses on Prospective Ave.
hitherto remaining unsold, have this last
week found purchasers, one having been
boughthy Mr. Charles Hoyt of Darien, and
the other by Mr. D. C. Banks of Rye.
An entertainment of music and dancing,
under the auspices of Ivanhoe Lodge, is to
to be given at FitCh’s Hall, on the evening
of Feb. 22d. '

The report of the American Colonization

the late Eben Fairchild, Esq., of Bridgeport
the sum of $70,000.
Henry Clifford, ofthc firm of Clifford «is
Anderson, Of Bridgeport, left that town
about a week ago for New York, ostensi-
bly for the purpose of settling some accounts
Of the firm,and taking with him quite a large
sum of money for that purpose. Since then
nothing has been heard of him, and no clue
to his wherabouts has been obtained. The
debts which he was to pay remain unsettled ‘
and it is said that the afi‘airs‘of the firm are
in an involved state. Mr. Clifford has a
Wife in Bridgeport, who is very ~mueh con-
cerncd about his sudden disappearance. He
was a mbmbcr of the Young Men’s Chris-

Kissing is an expensive luxury in Bridge:

after all.

WESTPORT.
On Monday night, Jan. 18th, at an hour
when the moon had gene down, and the
stars alone shone from the' blue vault of
heaven, with a brightness . seldom‘seen;
almost supplying the deficiency of light
caused by the absence of the queen of even-
ing. When not a breath rippled the waters
of the mild Saugatuck river, which seemed
like a vast mirror of burnished steel reflect-
.ing with peculiar clearness the diamon-stud-
ied canopy above, two individuals named
respectfully, George W. Hall, and Wm. H.
Davis, “might have been seen” wending
their way stealthily, down Compo street with
‘ffoul” intent, knowing of a clever “Fellow,”
and a veryliberal “Fellow” down Ihatway
who had “game” on his premises'which they
desired to possess, but had not the courage
to ask for. As we have said before, ‘the
night was still, clear, and mild, not a tree
nor a leaf stirred. The ice and snow were
rapidlyreturiling to their parent state,having
already become partly in many places, ren-
dering locomotion somewhat difficult, and
these adventurers began" to think they might
attract the attention of some stray member
of the canine family by the noise of their
footsteps ; but not a. dog stirred. ' They
smothered their conversation in the fear of
waking some specimen-of the feline genus;
butnot a cat stirred. In front of a gentle-
man’s house flocks of the feathered tribe
were comfortably resting, and they tremf
bled in' dread of arousing those vigilant
watchers of the night ; but not a goose stir-
ed.- They held their breaths, as, glancing
from‘tree to tree were seen aged “Chantio
cleers" with their families, quietly so-journ-
ing, but not a hen stirred. And now, as
they- approached the goal of their fondcst
hopes,—the barn of the sleeping,unconscious
“Fellows,”--new troubles-awaited them,fears
of a grunt from that 800 lb porkcr, and' a
neigh from that favorite horse in the stall ;
but not a hog stirred, nor a horse stirred.
All nature being so quiet, and every living
thing so still, how propitious for the busi-
ness in which they were about to engage.
The night was fair but- bid foul for fair
weather. With the eyes of artists they sur-
veyed the premises, with hands well skilled
in the light fingered art, and with courage ‘
and ingenuity fit for the Gods, they forcibly,
entered that “Hen roost." They forcibly
abducted therefrom 20 specimens of fine
game-cocks and chickens, with inhuman in-
difference to the cackling of recreant hens,
deaf to the squalls of exasperated roosters,
and dumb to the cries of affectionate pul-
lets,these persons hastened ofi‘ with their ill-
gotten booty, depositing it on the premises
near the residence of Mr. Jas. 'Condon, in
Westport. On the following morning intel-
ligence ofIthc theft was extensively circula--
ted, and sherili‘ Cable called on these per-
presence for a short season would be requir-
ed in the jailatBridgeport, Fairfield 00., Ct.

A meeting of Chess Players washeld at ‘

pion. For the present, and until suitable.
rooms can be obtained, weekly meetings of
the club will be held at the houses of indi-
viduals. _ Persons friendly to the game and
those who desire to play Occasionally are re-
spectfully invited to join this institution. N.

bled at the residenee of Mr.~ Amzi LOckwood
on Friday evening last. _ Imagine theIWOn-
der with which the entrance of their unbid~

BETHEL.
In Bethe], recent] , a horse hitched to a
sleigh containing a Ittie boy eight years old
started on a run and threw the little fellow
out, whose arm became entangled in the
reins and who was dragged along at a round
pace over the knobs of Ice and through the
puddles. At length the brave boy managed
to get one leg into the sleigh and shortly af-
ter climbed in, the horse still going .at full
speed. The runaway was then checked and
the boy Was found tohave sustained no in-
jury whatever.-

can be no doubt that the whole I ' ’
GRAND, LINE TO THE PACIFIC
Will be opencdfor Busirwaa'z’n the Summer Of 1869.
The Regular Government Commissioners have pro-
nonnccd the Unfon Pacific Railroad to be FIRST
CLASS in every respect, and the Special Commission
appgiILted by the President says :— I
- a was a whole, THE UNION PAC
ROAD HAS BEEN WELL CONSTRUO'Fl‘IEébf‘iAANID
THE GENERAL ROUTE FOR THE LINE EXCEED:
lNGLY WELL SELECTED. The cnerwy and per-
severance with which the work has bee; urged for-
ward, and the rapidity with which it has licen'execut:
ed are without parallel, in history; and in grandeur
and magnitude of undertaking it has never been
equalled" The Report states that any defic1encies
that emst are only those incidentto all new roads,
and that could not have'been avoided withOut mate-
ially retarding the progress of the great work. Such
deficiencies are supplied by all railroad companies of.
ter the completion of the line, when and wherever ex-
perience shows them to be necessary. The report
concludes by saying that “the country has reason to
"congratulate itself that this great work of national
importance is so rapidlyapproaching completion un-
der such favorable auspices." The Company now have
in use 137 locomotives and nearly 2,000 cars of all de-
scriptions. A large addition’cquipment is ordered to
be ready in the Spring. The grading'is nearly com-
pletcd, and ties distributed for 120 miles in advance
iron for new tract-r are now delivered west of the M15-
souri River, and 90 miles more are en route. The to-
tal expenditure for construction purposes in advance
of the completed portion of the road is not less than
eight million dollars.
Besides a donation from the Government: of 12,800
acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to a
subsidy in U. S. Bands! on its line as completed and
accepted, at the avcrage rate of about $29,000 per mile,
according to the difficulties encountered, for which
,the Government takes uIsccond lien as security, The
Company have already received 522,158,000 of this
subsidy, of which 61,280,000 was paid Dec. 6th, and
9,640,000 Dec. 14th. .
l l .
Govern’t A1d--Secur1ty of the Bonds.
By its charter, the Company is permitted to issue its
own FIRST MORTGWE. BONDS to the same
amount as the Government Bonds, and no, more.
These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments. . Such a mortgage upon
what, for a long time, will be the only railroad con
'n‘edting‘tbeT’Atlumic“ and racist? States; 'takes the
highest rank as.a safe security. The earnings from
the waonr local business for the year ending June 30
1863, on an average of 472I miles, were over FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS, which. afterpaying all expen-
ses, were much more than sufficient to cover all in-
terest liability upon that distance, and the earnings
for the last five months have been $2,356,870. They
would have been greater, if the road had not been
taxed to its utmost capacity to transport its own ma-
terials for construction. The income from the great
1 a . travels, China. freights, and, the supplies
for the new Rocky Mountain States and Territories
must be ample for all interest and other liabilities
No political action can reduce the rate of interest.
It must: remain for thirty years—six per cent. per (m-
uum ingald, now equal to between eight -and nine
per cent. in-curreney. The principal is then payable in
gold. If a bond With such guarantees were issued by
the Government, its market price would not be less -
than ‘20 to 25 per 'eent. premium. As these bonds are
issued under Government authority and supervision,
upon what is very largely a Government Work, they
must ultimately approach Government prices. N 0
other corporate bonds are made so secure.
The price for the present is PAR, and accrued inter-
est at'6 per cent. from Julyl, 1868, in currency.
