WESTPORT.
Mussns. Ens. :——'A gentleman front Greens
Farms tells a story, vouching for its truth,
which puts our “barn story,” narrated in a
9 recent communication, entirely into the
shade. A German, named Joseph Meir, in
the employ of Erastus P. Smith, Esq., dug
a cellar and stoned it up on Monday last,
built a house th'ereon on Tuesday, courted
a girl three hours and married her the same
evening, moved into‘ the house on Wednes-
day, and at noon 8. baby was seen standing
in the doorway. ' If you can beat that in
Norwalk, we should like to have it tried.
The dreaded ordeal through which. teach-
ers in our public sohools are to pass, is ap-
proaching. (Let them that read understand),
and it behooves those who are at all "‘ sha-
ky ” or timid in mind to stand from under.
One of the coldest and most disagreeable
winds ever experienced in this part of the
country, was that of Saturday, March 12th.
Coming, as it did, straight from the North-
east, it was raw and searching in character,
and readily found its way to the weak
points in rheumatic systems, and was most
unwelcome even to those in health. At ev-
ening, no change in temperature had occur-
red, and a storm of hail commenced, which
increased constantly through the night and
the following day. On Wednesday, the 16th,
more hail and rain with very violent wind,
lasting from 6 a..m. to 1. p. In. This may
be called “ the ” storm of the season, On
this occasion, as on' the Sunday previous,
our transit to Norwalk was of» the most bit-
ter kind, causing us to think such storms
better fitted to occur in January, than .dur-
ing the first month of Spring. On our re-
turn, on both occasions, we were unmerci—
fully pelted with hail, and the recollection
of the sweet song of the blue—bird, heard a
day or two previous, seemed like mockery
to us who had anticipated a “warm change.”
Those old lines of Bryani’s— '
“ The stormy March is come at last,
With wind and cloud, and changing sky,
_ I feel the rushing of the blast,
And see through valleys, hailstones fly "
came instinctively to our minds, and for a
time were fully appreciated. Home at last,
and mellowed by the warmth of a comfort-
able fire, we relaxed a little in opinion, and,
repeating another verse ofthe same poem,
concluded March was not so terrible a month
after all,
“ For it to northern lands again
The glad and glowing sun dost brinr,
And it has joined the gentle train,
And wears the gentle name of spring."
Saturday. the 12th, was a busy day for the
Registrar‘s of voters, as it was the' last day
ofgrace with those with applications “ to be
made.” Many names were added to the ve-
. ters’ list. Among them, Ithat of a colo'red
person. His vote will not be received,how-
ever, unless the “ 15th ” be promulgated
prior to election. ‘ .
Rev. John E. Smith, Rector'of the Memo-
rial Church, has arrivedsafely at Key West,
Florida. If his health improves, while at
that place, he will tarry for a time, and by
and by, go further South, and perhaps take
a trip to Italy and the south of France.
There seems to be a desire on the 'part of
Democrats here to plague or punish some-
body, by continually harping on the 15th
Amendment, and what they are pleased to
call the “runeonrstitutzbnal acts qfoongress, do,
die.” So persistent and audacious have
many become, that a Republican, especially
if he smells at all of the Radical, can scarce-
ly turn a street corner without being attack-
ed. As the “ nigger question ” is defunct—a
thing of the past, and as every sensible man
knows it, this action on the part of the op-
position looks silly, and reminds us of the
01d Dutchman, who, having been compelled
to kill an ugly dog, was soon after found
vigorously pounding the carcass with a
club; and when asked why he did so foolish
a thing, replied, that“ he wanted to teach dot
dog (lat . door cos a hereafter.” Republicans
. are looking with pleasure to this “ hereaf-
ter,” knowing that it will surely furnish
them a vantage ground in the shape of an
augmented vote throughout the States.
Could this be assured for the “ other side,”
less of acrimony would be exhibited. This
is impossible, however, and here i? where
the “ sting ” comes in.
The 4th and last lecture of the course was
delivered at the Congregational Church, on
Thursday evening March 17th, by Rev.
James M. Buckley, of Stamford, Ct.—Sub-
ject, “ Human Nature.”
. Gold having fallen from 140 to 112, peo-
ple are looking for a proportionate change
in the price of commodities. Up to the pres-
ent we make note of only two articles sold
cheaper than they were six months ago, viz:
calico and coal. In the one we are vouch
safed a reduction of 1 1-4 cents per yard, and
in the other, about $2.50 per ton. When
gold commenced to rise, everything sudden-
ly “went up;” but when gold went down,
somehow our merchants were unable to
hear of it in time to be of service.
One of the funniest things we have read
lately, is that relative to the. decree of the
Supreme Court on the “ Greenback ” ques-
tion, which speaks of it as more “ Tender”
than “ C’hased.”
A horse belonging to Dr. Chamberlain,
atta'ched for debt by D. S. Gray, Esq., was
sold at the town pump, a few .days since.
Price $63, worth $300.
“ How vain are all things here below,
How false, and yet how fair.”
In the case of Rufus D. Cable, Sheriff’s
deputy, agains Nelson Crossman and others
. for disposing of-property, by the said Cable
attached, judgement was rendered 'in favor
mftho plaintiff to receive—first, the value of
'the .pGCer‘tyqf second, an additional» sum,
byway offpunishment, and the cost.
on StQPatrick’s Day, the 17th, services 'of
sofie‘sort were held at the Catholic Church
néjarly every, hour during the day and even-
ing; .- Missionary services twice, a day-
thio bout the week. - The devotion of
these: people to their realise is worthy 0f
comment. . . .
, The property known as the “ Elwood
Place,” was sold at auction on Saturday for
$1.930. . ‘
'Mr. Kelso, of New York, is to build a
splendid house this spring near the residence
of Noah Bradley,'Esq.- Mr. Chas. Gorham
is laying the foundation of a fine dwelling ;
several others are to .bebuilt. , ’
Since the completiouof the Lock-up, up-
wards of 200 tramps have been accommo-
dated with lodgings, which, at 25 cents per
head, (the price charged by “ Poor Martin,”)
.amounts to $50. We consider this as so.

WILTON.
We are pained to announce the death of
George W. Loekwood,Esq.,which occurred
on the 11th inst. In his death Wilton loses
a worthy and respected citizen; the com-
munity an upright and esteemed member, of
the Church an active and zealous supporter,
and the sorrowing family a beloved and af—
fectionate father. “ Requiescat o‘n Pace.”
John'Joncs, 2d, died at the residence of
his father, Abijah Jones, on Thursday last,

work in the barn
The Ladies’ Benevolent Association of
Georgetown, gave a very pleasant entertain-
ment at Bennett’s Hall, on Thursday even-
ing of last week, consisting of Charades,
Tableaux, refreshments, &c., &c. Pecunia-
rin the affair was not much of a success, as
the gross receipts were but $60. They pro-
pose to repeat it , on the evening-of April
lst, and hope to see all the “ Benevolent
Wiltoners" on hand, with a good supply of
filthy-lucre.” _
The man who wrote A ijah, thuslyr-"Bi-

Dr. Belts, of Brooklyn, who has been

How sweetly warbles the gentle “List-
encr” in last week’s issue of your paper.
In rep] , we would say, that having the
highest respect for the' party referred to;
and regarding him with that esteem due his
superior abilities and position, we yet think
he made amost decided mistake. in the re-
mark alluded to, and shall indulge in the
firm belief that the majority of those who
attended the Surprises, were neither “ Infi-
dels nor Unbelievers. “K-MUTER.
Rev. S. J. M. Merwin delivered the con-
cluding lecture of the course upon “Public
Spirit,” at the Town Hall, last Wednesday
evening. It was thought by many to have
been the best one of the course, abounding
as it did, in many practical hints and useful
suggestions. ' -
The lectures have been well attended du-
ring the winter; and as Rev. Mr. M. lectur-
ed gratuitously, the society was relieved
front all embarrassment, and the course
made a complete success. ‘

The new vault in the bank has been com-

has bought property at Shippau and taken
a residence for the summer. A healthy ac-

Uncle Sam receives $42,673 income tax
from residents of this district, including
Stamford, Greenwich, and Darien.
“Dexter”, last week in his reminiscences
gives the following account of a feat per-
formed by a man formerly well known in
these parts :—“Twenty-five years ago,
among other ‘characters in town, was one
who gyrated from Stamford to Norwalk,
and who was named Robert Bone, being
usually called ‘Old Boner.’ This person
when about two thirds ‘set up’ was possess-
ed with a Sam Patch idea of human eleva-
tion, and on several occasions climbed
the lightning rod on the rear of the, churc ,
then ran along the peak of the roof. and
then up the rod again above the belfry.
Two or three times when crrzy drunk he
ventured to the top of the steeple, and on
one occasion gave an unusual display of his
antics. Placing one foot on the ball at the
top of the wood work, and grasping the rod
above, he several times displayed himself to
the crowd below, similar to a letter X. Af-
terward he climbed up higher and sat
astride of the vane, and swung around until
he was tired of the sport, and then safely
descended to the earth a ain.
The schooner James . Hoyt, of Staten
Island, which is or was owned by Hon. J as.

A DAILY COMPANION.— Webster’s Una-
bridged Dictionary has been, in common with
other great lexicons of the English language,
one of my daily companions.
My testimony to its erudition, the accur-
acy of its definitions, and to the etymologi-
cal rescarch by which it has been enriched
through the labors recently bestowed upon
it, can hardly be of lunch value, sustained
as the book is in world-wide reputation, by
so general an approbation; but I have no
hesitation in thus expressing my sense of
its merits. J mm L. Mo'rLEY.

The remarkable success which attended our nego-
tiation of the loans of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and the Western Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny, and the popularity and credit which these Loans
have'maiutalncd in the markets, both in this country
and Europe, have shown that the First Mortgage
Bonds of wisely-located and honorably-managed
Rsllrosds are promptly recognized and readily taken
as the most suitable. safe, and advantageous form of

Its superiority as an East and West route, and the
its completion, have drawn to it the attention and

men of this city of sound judgment and known in-

of eminent citizens and business men of Virginiaand
West Virginia, lnsurel an energetic, honor-
able. and successful management.
The Road is complete and in operation from Rich-
mond to the celebrated White Sulphur Springs of
West Virginia, 22-: miles, and there remain but 200
miles, (now partially constructed) to be completed,to
carry it to the proposed terminus on the Ohio river

among the richest and most: pewerful and trustworthy
corporations of the country; AND THERE EXISTS
A PRESENT VALUE, IN COMPLETED ROAD

AMOUNT OF THE MORTGAGE. '
The details of the Losn have been arranged with
special reference to the wants of all classes of invest-
ors. and combine the various features of convenience,
safety, and protection against loss or fraud.
The Bonds are in denominations of
$1000, $500, and $100.
They will be issued as Colman Bonds, payable to
Bearer and may be held in that form; or
r
The Bonds may be registered in the name of the
owner. with the coupons remaining payable to bear-
er attached, the principal being then transferable
only on the books of the Company, unless reassigned
to bearer; or
The coupons may be detached and canceled, the
Bond made a permanent Registered Bond,transferable
only on the books of the Company, and the interest
made payable only to the registered'owucr or his at-
torney.

They have thirty years to run from January 15.
1810, with interest at six per cent. per annum from
November 1, 1809. Principal and Intereatpayable' in
Gold in the city of New York.
The interest is payable in May and November, that
it may take the place of the earlier Issues of Five-
Tweuties, and suit the convenience of our friends
who already hold Central and Western Pacific Bonds,
with interest payable in January and July, and who
may ' desire, in making additional investments, to
have their Interest receivable at, different: seasons of
the year.
The Loan is secured by a mortgage upon the entire
Line of Road from Richmond to the Ohio River, with
the equipment and all other property and appurten-
ances connected therewith. '
A Sinking Fund of $100,000 per annum is provided
for the redemption of the Bonds, to take effect: one
year after the completion of the Road.
The mortgage is for 815,000,000, of which 52,000,000

THESE BONDS CAN BE REGISTERED;
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 built with great economy for cash; 150
miles are now completed in the most thorough man—
ner, equipped and running regular trains; and the
whole line (over 400 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 70
miles, and to Oswego 45 miles; it traverses a popn
Ions 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 far 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 is-
sued. All mortgage bonds issued on Railroads run;
ning from the City of New York are good, and the
ntere st promptly paid, although some of them are
mortgaged for more than double the amount per
mile than the Midland is. Among the bonds now of-
fering we know of none equal to these. For the in-
vestment of trust or other funds there is nothing bet-
ter; and in exchange the Government Bonds they
give a large increase of incense, beside capitalizing
the premium. They are meeting with rapid sale, '
