FAIRFIELD COUNTY ITEMS.
FIVE MILE RIVER.
On the 8th inst., a lad some 10 years of
age, by the name of Fink. broke through
the ice on a pond near the residence of Mr.
Stephen Walmsley, and would have per-
ished but for the gallant conduct of Mr.
Wilter Hanbury, who plunged into the bro-
ken ice and at great risk to himself brought
him ashore in an exhausted state:
Our good friend, Rev. G. Hauleubeck af-
ter an absence of two' weeks, officiated in
the pulpit of the 30. M. E. Church On the9th.
Mr. H. deserves and receives our grateful
appreciation for his efl'orts to promote the
cause of religion here.
After the evening service, Mr. Lucas, of
Glastenbury, gave an interesting lecture in
favor of congregational singing.
Our veteran grocer, Mr. A. Dibble, al-
though he is no Phoenix—keeps on the
even tenor of his way in spite of wind or
Weather. If strict attention to business and
an accommodating spirit will win success,
he will be sure to gain it.
Capt. Frank Rcdfield, who left this place
twenty years since, when quite young, for
the golden sands of the Pacific coast where
he has won fame sud fortune, made us a
short visit last week. He has been ,trading
between San Francisco and the vicinity of
Behring’s Strait, and gives some thrilling
sketches of adventure in the arctic regions:
In 1865 his vessel was burned, with a num-
ber of others, by the Shenandoah, and for
three days he was held a prisoner, and then
released on his bond.
It is said that the prince of preservers, Mr.
Rilc, intends—if he does not get a full sup~
ply of tomatoes—to can a nice lot of Five
Mile River men. They don’t particularly
object to the canning operation by so ex-
pert a hand, but they do object to the pre-
liminary col(y)ering and cook-ing.

The lecture of the Rev. C. T. Woodrufi‘,
on Wednesday evening, was well attended,
and gave universal satisfaction. Prof. Bai-
ley, of Yale College, isto be here the 25th.
The :Proi. is :one of the [finest elocutionists
in the country, and all who can appreciate
good reading should be sure to attend. He
is also engaged to close the Y. M. C. A.
course in Norwalk.
The ominous letters "- Y. M. P. 8.,” posted
all about the town, have attracted the atten-
tion and excited the curiosity of most of
the natives. What they mean is like hack,
a mystery to K. MUTEII.
WESTPORT.
An organization hereafter to be known
as the Weslport Book Club,” was formed
at the house of Edmond Taylor, Esq, on
Monday Eve. Jan. 10th, by the election of
Prof. N. Cleaveland as President; Rev. A.
J. Hettrick See. and they, to-gether with the
Rev. J. R. Williams and another “person”
as executive committee, to whose charge the
duty of selecting Books and periodicals was
intrusted. The Club will embrace about
twenty members, and it is expected each
will be provided with some sort of book at
the outset. As we understand the matter,
members, are to read the books, retaining
them any. two weeks and then transmit to
his next door neighbor, and so on until the
complete circuit shall have been made. On
the out side of each volume the names of
members will be printed, and when a book
passes from one to another the date will be
:afiixed and name cancelled. We thus have
:a regular “circulating library." By pay-
ment of $4.00, anybody can become possess-
of the contents of all the periodicals foreign
and domestic, which otherwise would cost
twenty times that sum.
The disposal of that “Saw Hill" which
was as per advertizement in the presence of
a large and enthusiastic crowd of bidders,
and resulted in a'sale at respectable figures.
The excitement over, we breathe more free-
ly and feel assumed that another, no less in-
terested than ourselves, is resting at greater
case than for a period since the decree of the
court, and is blessing his stars that he was
:not compelled to pay a larger sum for the
property. Thus, has ended the “strange
eventful hzbtory” of an institution, the discus-
:sion regarding which, has at times been
animated, earnest, and even savoring of the
bitter. From time to time we have adver-
tised its merits, telling the truth in all
cases. Although sometimes coloring itwith
the hive of exaggeration, we have spoken in
a vein of pleasantry, and hope to have in-
jured the feelings of none. In reply to those
or rather to “him” who assumed that he
did not understand our remarks and yet was
evidently moved by them ;—who has on
more than one occasion compared our
written tones to the noise of a rumbling
“mill wheel,” we would say “shutdown the
gate” of your wrath, before the agitated wa-
ters of contention and strife. swallow thee,
and do not forget that it was a “mill wheel”
we were talking about, and thereby assign
us proper justification. The appraised value
of the mill was $350,00 but it sold for $500.00.
In the Gazette of Dec. 28th, we spoke of
the Christmas Eve. services at the memorial
church here, closing as follows; “The Rec-
. tor preached a well written sermon, but it
was painfully “Sepulchral” thrqughout not
award of joy in it,” &c. &c. The New
Haven Lever, assuming that we were a little
_ hyperaitical in our remarks, took the de-
fence of the preacher, using the' following
tine sentiments, viz., “As a matter 'of fact the
observance of an annual festival, is to all
thoughtful men, provocative of more or less
reflectivenes of rather a saddening character
and it a good clergyman, takes the oppor-
tunity at that time, to set- forth truth, by
making use of the undertone which runs
through all gladness, he but obeys an in-
stinct common to human nature.” A criti-
cism so charmingly written as this, so ele-
gantly expressed, and administered in such
a gentle manner, is accepted with pleasure
on our part, and the assurance given, that
in future, second thought will be given be-
fore making public comment on sermons.
On Thursday Evening last the Methodist
Society entertained the children of their
Church. It was the Anniversary of their
Sunday School, and after the usual exercis-
es of Singing and address by the Pastor, a
Collation was partaken of, which, judging
from the quantity ofpastry and good things
provided, was beyond expectation. All
were happy and enjoyed themselves. Du-
ring the midst of the festivities, a narrow
.iual approached us and 'said :
2 wasteful to bestow so much on
en. Why, these delicacies might
. sold for much and 'given to the
poor, and thus become the means of doing
great good.” Very true said ,we, so they
might ; but do you not know that these
people believe in gratifying‘their children
and providing for the poor as well 1’ Look
on and learn a lesson. _
The first of a series of lectures to be giv-
en at the Congregational church here, will
be delivered by Rev. James M. Buckley, A.
M., on Wednbsday Evening, Jan. 19th. Sub-
ject: “Human Nature." Four lectures will
be given. Tickets for the Course, $1.00.
Single Tickets 50 cents: Let all who can
favor this movement with their presence.
If this mild weather continues, it will be.
very difllcult for persons to supply them
selves with ice.
For the benefit of those young scoundrels
about the village, who have been in the
habit of committing acts of 0‘11, and other-
wise annoying citizens, we would say, mere-
ly as a reminder of what they may expect
if caught, that the term ‘State Reform School}
to which George Stceb was recently sent,
is nothing more or less than a mild name
for “State Prison" and once within its walls
the usual amount of hard labor and disci-
pline, with the extremely frugal fare, dealt
out by that institution .will be your lot. Be
careful how you behave yourselves.

Quite a number of distinguished individ-

' Not to be behind the age, Stamford has a
scandal case on hand that creates much
talk. Several months since, Mr. J Prescott
Eldridge, a talented reader and imitator,
took up his residence in Stamford with his
wife. Soon after, as Mr. E. was almost con-
stantly away traveling, his wife’s sister
came to live with her, since which time Mr.
E. has not been satisfied with
his wife’s conduct, and has ap-
lied for a divorce. On Tuesday night
I. Eldridge was sitting in his room,
when suddenly the window was smashed in
and a pistol shot was fired, with the object
it is thought, to frighten him from the house.

An effectual remedy for small pox is said
to have been recently found by a surgeon of
the British army in China. The .mode of
treatment is as follows: When the preced~_
ing fever is at its hight, and just before the
eruption appears, the chest is rubbed with
croton oil and tartaric ointment. This
causes the whole of the eruption to appear
on that part ofthe body, to the relief of the
rest. It also secures a mu and complete
eruption, and thus prevents the disease fl'om
attacking the internal or ans. This is now
the established mode 0 .treatment in the
English army in China, and is regarded as a
perfect cure.

the Springfield Republican refers to “.Mark
Twain’s,” lecture on the “ Sandwich Islands"
as follows:
“ The remark about the i'slanders’ dish of
plain dog, that ‘it is only our cherished
American sausage with the mystery remov-
ed,’ is likely to hve as long as the best of
the anti-sausage jokes. The story of the
man who was thrown into the .air by the
premature explosion of a blast while he
was tamping the charge, and who went up
and up till he was but a speck in the sky,
and then came down and down and struck
his crowbsr into the samorhole audyvent on
tamping again, was irresistibly ’funny, and
int nub, viz: that the man though gone only
fifteen minutes, had that amount of timede-
ducted from his pay, was better even than
the story itself. he proposition to illus-
trate cannibalism b an experiment, if any
one among the audience would contribute a
baby for the purpose, was perhaps the fun-
niest thin in the lecture, and it is hard to
describe e dry style, of his following re-
mark) quoted in the Advertiser: "I am aware
though, that children have become scarce
and high of late, having been thinned out
by neg ect and ill-treatment since the we-
man movement began.’ On the whole,
Mark Twain is not only a genuine humor.

SIX MILLIONS OF DOLLARS PAID UP STOCK
SUBSCRIPTIONS. No bonds issued on road under
construction; issue limited to $20,000 per mile of
road built and . in running order, BEING~ ONLL
ABOUT HALF THE ACTUAL CASH COST. The
road is being'biiilt with great economy for cash; 100
miles are now completed in the most thorough man-
ner, equipped and running regular trains; and the
whole line (over 1100 miles) it is expected will be com--
pleted within the ensuing year. It is one of the
most important roads in the State of New York. It
shortens the route from New York City to Buffalo 10
miles, and to Oswego 45 miles: it traverses a yi'opu
lens district destitute of ‘other railroad facilities.
which must furnish it a large and profitable local
business, and it will be completed at an aggregate
cost for below that of any competing line. These ad-
vantages cannot fail to make it one of the best paying
roads leading from the metropolis, and its First;
Mortgage Bonds one of the safest securities ever to-
sued. All mortgage bonds issued on Railroads run?
ning from the City of New York are good, and the 34
ntere st prcmptly paid, although some of them are
mortgaged for more than double the amount per
mile Than the Midland is. Among the bonds now of-
l’ering‘we know of none equal to these. For the in-
vestments: hunt or other funds there tsnothing bet.
