BRIDGEPORT.

Several new houses are going up near
South Avenue and Myrtle Avenue. On one
corner of these Avenues a fine double house
is being bmlt by Mr. Edwin Canfield and
Mr. Charler Hubble for their own occupan-
cy. Mr. J. S. Hanover and Mr. J. B. Hay,
are building a double house on the opposite
side, and adjoining there, or. near by, resi-
dences are in process of erection by Mr. C;
1%) Averill, Mr. Henry Middlebrook and
o , ers.

A laborer named John Woods died from
the effects of the heat, at Bridgeport, Satur-
day week. Others werc prostrated from the
same cause.

Mr. Wm. Hayes, of Bridgeport, (lied Mon~
day morning week, of lock-jaw. Mr. Hayes
recently had his left hand badly shattered
by an accidental discharge of a gun, with
which he was killing rats, on his premises.
He was getting along comfortably until
Friday evening, when an unfavorable
change took place, and symptoms of lock-
jaw made their appearance. Every effort
was made to save him but to no purpose.

‘ One of Bridgeport’s young men hired Ed-
ward‘s splendid team of blacks to drive to
the country to call on his lady-love. on one
of the warm days last week, and after riding
about the town for awhile the horses were
stopped for a season while the young couple
held an interview in the parlor. Past mid-
night the young beau started for home, and
had almost reached the city, when one of
the horses suddenly dropped dead in the
harness. ,

A man from Norwalk walked ofi‘ the
lower bridge in Bridgeport, on Wednesday
night, and came near being drowned. He
first clung to one of the bridge piers and
shouted for help, but none came. Fianlly‘
he let go and struck out for the dock, catch-
ing hold of which he clambered into a small
boat which lay astern of a vessel, making,
his way thence to the wharf. He was dis-.
covered by a policeman soon after, who,
after hearing his story, escorted to the sta-
tion house.

A man prostrated by the heat in Bridge-

 

port on Tuesday, was taken to a shady -

place by his fellow workmen, who bathed
his head With a bottle of sarsaparilla. Tho
remedy was a queer one, but the man re-
covered. -

Somebody (we omit names) shocked the
moral sense of the right-thinking people Of
this city by chartering a steamboat and
making an excursion on the} Sound last
Sunday.

The re-union of the 9th Conn. Regiment
willtakc place at Bridgeport on the 5th of

Angust. ,

ol. Dwight Morris, has been offered an
important position in the great bank about
to be established in Paris.

About half-past 9 o’clock Saturday even-
ing, tire was discovered issuing from the
stables of Capt. Harry Wheeler, on Division
street, which spread rapidly, communicating
almost immediately with the large barn be-
longing to Capt. Wheeler, which, to ether
with the stables and sheds and a va uable
quantity of farming utensils, were entirely
consumed. Therowas an insurance on the
ban of about $400, and on the stock and
implements of about $300 more. The total
logsis estimated at about $2,000. This is
the second time within a few years that
Captain Wheeler has had his barn destroyed

by fire.

When the Housatonic freight train was
coming in Tuesday evening one of the
brakemen was on top of the cars taking up
the bell rope. ,He did not notice that the
pipe which extends out from the water tank
had‘been lowered, and as the car passed un-
der it, it hit the brakeman -and knocked
him from the car. In falling he struck on
the brake-wheel, breaking it and landing on
the platform of the car. The train soon
halted and he was fouud quietly windin
up the bell-rope as if nothin had happenedg.
He said he was not hurt.-— odd/rd.

 

During the fiscal year ending to-day, the
treasury has received twelve and a halfmil-
Irons in custom duties, and the country has
consumed thirty millions more of foreign
goods than last year; while the exports of
domestic produce were one hundred mil-
lions more, The aggregate incomes of
New York and suburbs are fully equal to
last year, and the industrial classes of New
York and Brooklyn have deposited twenty
millions more. The incomes of leading
New York merchants have fallen off, Stew-
art’s being one hundred thousand and Cla-
flin’s still smaller. '

 

o<°>~
— A few days since, a little girl entered
the sick chamber of her father, Who had by
his side a dish of inviting bananas. Her
eye fell upon them, and their lucious ap-
pearance was so attractive that she found it
impossible to lose the spot. She had a del-
icacy about asking for one, and finally look-
ing at them, she inquired if her father pro-
posed to eat them all. “Yes,” replied the
parent, “for you know I am sick,” and then
replied, “you wouldn’t take them away from
papa, would you ? After a moments
thought she replied, “.‘No, I wouldn’t,” and
then paused, colored up, and ingeniously
said, “but’lpapa, I tella wrong story when I
so so,” he honesty of the ‘cenfession se-
cured the bananas. ‘ ' ‘ " '

In the death of Francis 1}. Cutting, Esq., which
event took place after a brief illness, in New York,
on Sunday morning last, this community loses one,
who, by his nrbanlty and stealing w'orth had gained
the respect. of all. Ros among us only a period
of four years, dnring the sum months, he made a
large number of friends who will hear of his depart-

of rare personal endowments, and of great wealth,
but was wholly nnostentatious in the display of
them. Accomplished, and at all times courteous, he
was a delightful companion among men and in the
social circle. The New York Herald says of him:
“As a lawyer, he was able and brilliant; as a citizen,
he was whole-souled and patriotic; as a man, he was
honest, and died with an unblemished character.

OnThursday morning between the hours of three
and four o’clock, the dry goods store of D. A. Salmon
85 Co. was entered by burglars, and goods to the
amount of 9500 stolen therefrom. Although two
clerks slept in the establishment at the time, the 0p.
crations of the scoundrels were so stealthily conduc-
ted as not to awaken them. Vigilant search was
made for the thieves and goods, the former having
been traced down the river and harbor as far as Can-
keen’s Island, but up to the present writing no fur-
ther clue has been obtained to either. A reward of
8100 is od‘ered for the apprehension of the thieves
and recovery of thegoods.

The extreme heat troubles everybody, and for

wits to keep cool. A plate of tip-top ice cream is the
best ingredient to incorporate into the system, and
the best place to get it is at Frank Mead’s saloon
in Norwalk. His style of making is decidedly su-
perior, and the way he serves it out is alone worth
the price paid for the commodity. With a saloon tit-
ted up in approved style, and courteous persons to
attend on it, he should receive a liberal patronage.

Quite a crowd of people assembled at Westport
B. R. Station, on Saturday, to welcome President
Grant, but were not favored with a sight of his coun-
tenance.

Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Pinkney, were to have started
with adouble team ior a few weeks attire White
Mountains, on yesterday.

The “Fourth” was a day of peace and quietness
here—no demonstration except a few crackers and
torpedoes, and from all accounts it was the same
throughout the State except at Woodstock. Pun.

From the Columbus, (0.) Journal.
CHARA CTE’RISTI C SA YINGS OI! CEL-
EBRA TED AMERICANS. 7

Some one with a good memory for such
might make a very readable article from the
best remembered and most characteristic
sayings of Americans. Here are a few that
may serve as specimens of what might [be
done with time and opportunity:

Samuel Adams, known for many things,
seldom has his name associated with the
phrase first applied by him to England—
“Nation of shopkeepers.”

It was John Wesley, and not Charles
Sumner, who first spoke of slavery (the
slave trade) as “the sum of all villainies.’
Franklin said many things that have
passed into maxims, but nothing that is bet-
ter known and remembered than-r“He has
paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.”
Washington made but few epigrammatic
Here is one: “To be prepared
for war is the most effectual means of pre-
serving peace.”

Did you ever hear old John Dickinson?
Well, he wrote of Americans in 1768. “By
uniting we stand, by dividing we fall.”
Patrick Henry, as every school boy is
aware, ave us “Give me liberty or ive me
death; ’ and “if this be treason ma 6 the
most of it.”

Thomas Paine had many noted epigram-
matic sentences: “Rose like a rocket, fell
like a stick; ” “Times that try men’s souls.”
“One step from the sublime to the ridicu-
lous,” etc., etc.

J efl‘erson’s writings are so besprinkled
that it is difficult to select. In despair we
jump at “Few die and none resign,” certain-
I as applicable to office holders .now as in
eii'erson’s time.

Josiah Quincy, Jr., said: “Wheresoever,
whensoever, or howsoever we shall be call-
ed on to make our exit, we will die Bree-
men.”

Henry Lee gave Washington his immortal
tilte, “First in war, first in peace, and first
in the hearts of his countrymen.”

Charles Cotesworth Pinckney declared in
favor of Millions for defense, but not one
cent for tribute.”

“Peacably if we can, forcibly if we must,”
is from Josmh Quincy, 1811.

John Adams did not so “ Live or die,
survive or perish, I’m, for t e constitution,”
but Daniel Webster did as it for him.

The revolutionary age a one would give
us our article, had we time' to gather the
pearls. Coming down,'we pass greater, but
not more famous men, for

Davy Crockett the illustrious author of
“Be sure you are right, then go ahead.”
Andrew Jackson gave us—“The Union,
it must be preserved."

Benton almost lost his original identi in
“Old Bullion,” from his “hard money” oc-
trines.

Governor Winthrop, of New York, was
called “Small Light Throop,” for years, from
a phrase in a Thanksgiving proclamation.
Scott’s “hasty plate of soup” lasted his
life time. -
Taylor’s battle order, “a little more grape,
Captain Bragg,” will be quoted after he is
forgotten by “all the world and the rest of
mankind.” .

Seward is known for the “ irrepressible
conflict” wherever the English language is
spoken. -

Marcy’s “patched breaches” are as well
known as his stag papers.

Rufus Choatc g ve us “ glittering general-
ities. -

Our own Bill Allen, the “Chinese Gong,"
is responsible for “54-40 or fight.”
Tom. Corwin’s “ welcome with bloody
hands to hospitable graves,”. one of his no-
blest utterances, gave him more unenviable
criticism than any other saying of his life.
Calhoun gave us “State Rights” as a most
pernicious and absurd equivalent for nation-
al supremacy under the constitution.
Douglas applied “squatter sovereignity,”
though it is probable that Cass invented and
Calhoun named it.
Sgingfellow was the original “Border
an.”
War times gave us no end of epigrammat-
ie utterances. Those of Lincoln alone would
fill a volume. Chiefest of all these is that
noble, Godlike sentiment, “With charity for
all and malice toward none.” -
McClellan’s chief exploit was to make us
:cquaiuted with the phrase “Change of
use”
Grant gave us “fight it out on this line,”
“unconditional surrender,” “ I propose to
move immediately upon your works,” bot-
tled up,” and ahundred others. It seems
to have escaped notice that Grant is respon-
sible for more of thgse characterizing, ele-
mentary crystalizatiéns of thought than any
military leader of modern times. ~
Sherman first gave utterance to the great
truth, showing at once statesmanship and
military sagacity, “ the Confederacy is a
shell,” and he had the rare felicity of prac-
ticall demonstrating his own theorem by
the“ arch to the Sea." '
Sheridan’s character and his style of fight-
ing are expressed by “Sent them whirling
up the Valle .”
Pope's ortunate orders from “Head-
quarters in the saddle,” gave Gen. Lee op-
portunity for the one solitary joke of his
lifetime—“What can you expect of a gener-
al who puts his headquarters where his
hindquarters ought to be.

Butler, more incisive with the pen than
with the sword, cut through one of the
knottiest problems of the war with the name
“contraband.”

These Machines are so well known that it is un-
necessary for us to extol them. The success which
has attended their use, and the greatlyincreasing
demand for them in the past, leaves no question as

to their superiority over all others. We anticipate a
greater demand for them this year than at any time
in the past. They are warranted to give perfect sat-
isfaction. Send for a circular giving a description of
the mower, and other useful information.

AMERICAN PRIZE.

r H. BLAKESLEY would res ectfully inform his

friends and the public that t e Stallion, Ameri-
can Prize is now at his stock farm near Westport
station of N. Y. a N. H. R. 12., Saugatuck P. o.
where he will be kept the present season. w
be probably his last‘eason in this section, he having
been sold and is only returned to fulfill engagements,
terms (550) lift; dollars. '

It is believe that no Stallion has ever been ofl'ered
to the public of so great value, since the days of old
Messenger, as he is urely of Trustee and nenenger
blood through Mem rino.

Also the Stallion Whalebone, of Eureka and Mor—
can stock, will be kept on the same farm—terms ($15)
fifteen dollars. This farm affords every accommoda-
tion for Brood stock. Terms reasonable.
