FAIRFIELD COUNTY ITEMS.
ROWAYTON.
The Sons of Temperance at this place
havemade their lOng threatened attack on
the only Ruin Shop in this place, except one ,-
they gave fair warning, but he seemed to
think that he had a right to injure the more]
sense of the whole community. ,
Our much respected Postmaster, Hiram
Washburn, has resigned his oflice on account
of ill health. Mr. Oliver Cook is appointed
in his place with Mr. Ezra Mansfield for his
assistant.
Charles Chase 8.7 Co. of Darien have pro-
cured a suitable place near the sleep lands
ing and are about to manufacture Chemical
Oils. . .
The Oyster trade continues to be uncom-
monly good and the stores are doing a cash
business in consequence.
The churches have done a good work
during the winter; the people are all united.
More than one hundred .have joined the
Sons of Temperance. .
A slight interruption to our usual quiet
happened last week; a party of Gypsies
landed on our shore near where Rum is sold
and in consequence of said Rum had a free
fight; they were charged with robbing the
money drawer and were arrested by officers
who were living in the neighborhood, and
a number of them were sent up for three
months, on what was supposed to be proper
evidence.
WESTPORT. .
The old drain, running from the rear of Elnathan
Wheeler’sproperty to the dock, and built many years
ago for the purpose of carrying 01! water that accu-
mulates in that locality after every rain, has been
cleared out in ameasure by voluntary digging, in-
terested property holders turning out in force for
that purpose. It was a much needed improvement,
and so far as completed, is well done. We are in-
structed to call down the execrations of this and fu-
ture generations, also the execrations of an honest
public, on the heads of those who “ stood around"
finding fault with this and that thing, but who did
not lift a finger to assist, or pay a cent of the expense.
The Saw-mill lately put up by Chapman & Jellifi‘e
on land owned by the former, is now in successful
operation, with plenty of water and logs. The ap-
proaches to it, which heretofore were most uninvit-
ing, are being put in order, so that customers in this
and the immediate vicinity will find itto their advan-
tage to bestow patronage. In anticipation of a large
apple crop, a cider mill with appurtenances will be
erected during the summer. ‘
Mr. E. H. Nash’s mill, of which, just a “word or
two" has been spoken within the past year, draws
slowly to completion, and will be one of the most
perfect affairs of its “kind.” Propelled either by
steam or water, no drouth or similar circumstance
will compe ‘eople to wait indefinite periods. or go
to other places to get their work done. The amount
of money thus far spent, falls but little short of
86,000. We learn that a cement dam,.to be some five
feet higher than the present one, is to be built during
the season. In consequence of bringing the water's
surface five feet above the ordinary level, much val-
uable land, owned by those whd can “afford” to own
it, will be yearly flooded, and in smeasure destroyed.
The question as to his right thus to flood it, now be-
ing extensively canvassed.
Among the beautiful residences built. in town late-
ly, none can go ahead of Charles Gorham’s on River
St. It is nearly done now, and when painted and
blinded, can be called in angle fine establishment.
We understand he intends to ove right in with his
“ family,” but we doubt if he stays long when he gets
there, for some city chap, captivated by the fine 10-
cality and surroundings, will come along ofi‘ering a
stiff price, ousting him Without ceremony. We hope
this thing may happen, in order that Mr. 6——
may build another house, and when built, sell. We
hope he may keep on building and selling, that is if
he displays as much taste each time as he has now
done. Thus, in a short time, Westport may secure a
series of good dwelling houses. ‘
During the week there has been several movements
in horse flesh, (also in real estate.) The premium
list of the Fairfieid County Agricultural Society has
been received and the intentions ofhorse owners are
from time to time rendered apparent. The large
number of suiky's up for repair, and the difficulty
with which one can be purchased, tells a long story
in A few words. Silence often speaks more loudly
than boisterous language. Now, when we gazed on
the graceful proportions of that skeleton buggy,
owned by the individual who is putting up the this
house just spoken of, which has been carefully stored
awRy in the hem of Charles Sehrwood, ESQ—stored,
and has remained there since late fall, for fear that
the wife of the owner might find out that he had it;
and paid from £75 to 880 for it. We cannot but re.
mark that it looks significant, and leads one to be-
lieve that “17 year old colt”will soon be seen making
headway toward a good track. . _
As everybody goes to see the new Bank Building,
and everybody travels over the new Bridge at Sangu-
tuck, it may be unnecessary to say more Of the one,
than to indicate good progress in the mason work,
and of the other, that all have thus far been carried
safely over.
The first run of June Shad may soon be expected.

' BRIDGEPORT.
Post Elias Howe, Jr., G. A. R, are mak-
ing extensive arrangements for a proper ob~
servance of “ Decoration Day.”
A sentiment of deep regret was universal:
1y felt by our citizens, Wednesday last, as
news of the sudden decease of Mr. E. Allen
Parrott Circulated through the city. Mr.
Parrott was elected Town Clerk and Regis-
, trar in 1854, and held the same position,
with the exception of one year, until his
death. Mr. Parrott had passed three score
and ten years: but was yet vi orous and
strong, and his sudden death fails heavily
upon a large circle of mourning friends ;
- some 50 years ago he unfortunately lost an
arm at the firing of a Fourth of July salute
on Golden Hill; and subsequently moved
to Monroe and from there to New York,
where he became engaged _ in the tanning
business. He afterward returned to this
city and was associated with Mr. Atkinson
in the marble trade for five or six years, un-
til he was called to fill the rifles of Town
Clerk and Registrar in ’54.
~ A couple of men have been in town' for
several ays,.going from one place to anoth-
er disposing of goods taking orders, &c..
They pretended to be employed as sales-
men by a lar e house that had an immense
.stock of be upt goods to dispose of, the,
stock amounting .to nearly a million of doI-O
lars. They exhibited samples of their goods,
consisting of carpets, muslins, & taking
orders for the same at ruinouslyl prices.
While the business of taking orders was go-
ing on they would show pieces of broadcloth
cut up into pieces suitable for suits, many
of which they have disposed of for cash.
Sometimes they would add other goods to
the packages of goths, the purchasers sup»
gos'mg they were buvln them for about
_ alfwhat they were Iea y worth In many
cases they have probably realized more for
the goods sold than our own merchants
would have sold the same for.
The invitation extended by Post N 0.3, G.
A. R., of Bridgeport, to the various organi-

W The Bridgeport Farmer - gives the
following romantic history of the woman
who appeared in our streets one day last
Week playing the dulcimer and singing:—
Every summer during the last three years
two young women have suddenly appeared
In our midst with an instrument called a
dulcinrer, and, after singing a few songs and
collecting a few stamps, have as suddenly
disappeared. Yesterday one of the young
her companion was noticed and caused
some remark, though few, we apprehend,
divmed the real cause. The women, we
have learned, were sisters, and last fall one
of them sickened at her home in a village
near Boston and died.
Their history. is somewhat remarkable.
The eldest, the one yet living, married some
four or five years ago a broken down min-
strel performer named Burwell. Soon after
marriage the husband bought a farm of some
twenty acres of land in the locality named,
paying a part of the purchase money down
and givrng notes secured by a mortgage for
the remainder. Soon after taking possession
of the farm his health entirely failed and he
became a confirmed invalid. The sisters,
whose parents were dead, struggled along.
theynould soon be homeless, and they ac-
cordingly resolved to engage in the business
which they subsequently followed. Their
success was greater than they anticipated.
In less. than a month’s time they succeeded
ill raismg the sum of $200, with which the
first of the notes was taken up.
. Additional sums were raised from time to
time during that and the, following summer,
enough to meet the second payment and
stock the farm, but in the fall of that year
the youngest of the sisters, as we have said,
Sickened and died. This was last fall, and
the other, knowing that there was yet one
other payment to be made, started out again,
though with a heavy heart. She came to
this City yesterday morning, and left for
Norwalk last ni ht. During her stay here
she collected $1 , and this, we are told, is
about an avera e day’s work. Her trip will
be extended to ew-York eit and Brook-
lyn, and-by the time she has ‘ done" those
Cities she expects to have a sum sufiicient to
cancel the mortgage and secure for herself
and husband a-pleasant home for life. She
