Church. Peaches, Ice Cream and other rc- treshments will be in abundance, and the members of the Society will exert them- selves to make the entertainment pleasing to their patrons, This occasion will furnish an excellent opportunity for young people from adjoining villages to take a “pleasant ride.” WESTON. The Census man, Mr. W. D. Gregory, having finished taking Weston, reports the population as follows: In 1860 it was 1117; in 1870 it is 1054, showing a loss of 63. Too bad! Weston must do better than that. DARIEN. A Peach Festival for the benefit of the Congregational church was held in the fine new Seminary Building, on Thursday eve- ning last. For various reasons the attend- ancc was not so large as the ladies hatl rea- son to expect, and the pecuniary result could not have been favorable. The mana- gers, however, did their best to entertain their guests, and the affair passed ofi‘ pleas— antly. Peaches—the largest and handsom- est we have seen this season,—werc provided in abundance, having been selected from the best in the City market expressly for this entertainment. Excellent Ice Cream, Cake, and other Refreshments, and Flowers abounded, and vocal and instrumental mu- sei was not lacking. Miss Rice is deserving of the thanks of the community for so kind- ly throwing the Seminary open. The grounds were lighted with Chinese lanterns, placed in a semi-circle, producing a. fine effect. The Seminary re-opens next month, and we are glad to learn under very encourag— ing circumstances. Miss Rice, the princi- pal, has already received applications for nearly all she can accommodate, and the at- tendance of boarding pupils from abroad promises to be very large. The building is now arranged expressly for school purposes, is pleasantly located on a high ridge, and is well furnished throughout. NEW CANAAN. A company has been formed for the man- ufacture of Sewing Machines, and it is con- templated to erect “a very respectable fac- tory” near the railroad immediately. W. E. Raymond is President, W. St. John Sec- retary, and A. S. Comstock Treasurer. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Bates and‘child were thrown from a carriage recently, the horse running away ; Mrs. Bates had a leg broken, and Mr. Bates jaw was dislocated. A fair is to be held under‘the Co. Ag. So- ciety’s Tent, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, for the benefit of the Congrega- tional Society. Mr. Nathan Jones accidentally fell from his wagon on Wednesday, and had his col- lar bone dis ocated. Our folk say its a. shame‘ that the N or- walkers don’t fix the Norwalk end of the road leading from this village. It is full of loose cobble stones, which could be all re- movedin a day or two, and thus save the credit of our neighbors, and prevent a good deal of emphatic language. New Canaan Era. ’9. ° STAMFORD. The “Nellie Bloomfield,” Capt. Hobbie, sailed from Stamford on Thursday morning, with about fifteen excursionists on board. The party intend to visit New London and other eastern ports. On Sunday forenoon, an old barn stand- ing on Bedford street,near Widow Barnum’s residence, caught fire by some means and was burned to the ground. The contract for building the proposed new dam at Cox’s mills and digging the trench for the water pipes has been given to a Capt. O’Brien, of New Haven. He will bring with him a few skilled mechanics,but will give most of the work to laboring men in Stamford. The work of lining the pipes with cement was actively commenced on Monda last, The thletic B. B. C., of Brooklyn, have accepted the challenge of the Stamford Club and the game will be played on the grounds of the latter, on Thursday, Sept. lst. . ~Adoocate. DANB URY. On Monday, the President of the United States, as trustee of the Rawlins’ Fund, pur- chased of I. W'. Ives, the handsome place on Balmforth Avenue, which that gentleman was completing for himself. Painters are now at work giving the finishing touches to the dwelling, which in a short time will be occupied by the wife and children of the late Secretary. Chas. E. Grilling met with a singular acci— dent on Monday. A stick he Was leaning upon broke into, throwing him down. In falling the sharp end of one piece pierced his knee, and breaking off, remains there. To the north of the village there are quite a number of tobacco fields in grand bearing condition. Danbury farmers, like those of New Milford, have concluded that the crop pays better than anything else on their land, and this season witnesses a largely increas- ed crop. BRIDGEPORT. Segee’s new hall is bcin pushed rapidly forward to completion. he same might be said of the Peoples’ Savings Bank building. The East Bridgeport M. E. Sunday-school headed by the City Band, marched from the church to the foot of State street, Thursday morning, where they went on board the fine steamer Magenta for an excursion to Oyster Bay, L. I. he large freight sheds at the upper steam- boat dock at Bridgeport have been demol- ished, and hereafter both boats will stop at and start from the lower dock, where the freight will be received and discharged. The ntleW'IIIousatonic freight depot is nearly com- p etet . That splendid free stone front block of Mr. John S. Benham’s, on State street, is so fat completed that it is seen to be a little ahead of anything in the city. It is doubted whether there is one that will compare with, it in the State. Three of the houses have already been sold, one of the middle ones quite recently, for $16,000.——Standard. .p—‘——~ —At the camp meeting one day, some youngsters were overheard using profane anguage, by a pious old lady, who beckon- ed them to her, and in sober accents inquir- ed, “Boys, do you know the shortest way to hell ?" One of them replied, “No ma’am, you’ll have to ask that policeman ; he’ll di- rect you. The reduction made by congress on the duties on tea was two millions, on cofl‘ee nine millions, and on sugar fourteen mil- lion dollars ; a total of twenty-five millions- The relief will be felt in every household. A collision occurred July 25th, at the mouth of the Madura, one of the tributa- ries of the Amazon, Brazil, between two steamers, resulting in the loss of one steam- er with a cargo valued at $450,000, and 60 lives. A bachelor had the blues, and applied to a doctor for some medicine. The doctor in- quired into his case, and wrote a prescrip- tion in Latin, which the bachelor took to a dru store. Translated, the prescription rea ,“Seventeen yards of silk, with a wo— man in it.” After the druggist got through laughing, the bachelor proposed to a lady that evening, and was married in two weeks. A special meeting of the stockholders of the Hartford and New Haven Railroad will be held on Wednesday, September 7, for the purpose of approving a contract for a per- petual union of property between that road and the (IiNeIIVhYork and New Haven com- an un or e revision - gtesyof this Strife. of a general stat A Connecticut boy who had the fever and went to Omaha, writes 33:33; hundred men are out of work; that wages run from $1 80 to $2 75 per day, with board from $5 to $8. As to the “garden of the West,” he says that wild lands in Nebraska are like certain sand plains in Connecticut where the Winters are severe and drouahI and grasshoppers use up what growscin summer. ——_....r-.—-—.~ -—A .Nevada reporter has discovered a placer 1n the wedding line. He says :—-“We noticed yesterday, a new practice in the ‘ marriage busmess, and we rather like it. All the gentlemen present kissed the bride and all the ladies kiss the bridegroom after which all the ladies and gentlemen kiss each other. We_ go in for this improvement—it Is progressrve.

In a late item to your paper, We referred to the repairs going on at the Rail Road Bridge at Saugatuck. and inadvertently con- veyed the impression to a number of readers that said bridge was unsafe for traveling purposes. We hasten to correct that im- pression, and yet maintain that it would have been unsafe but for the timely “staying up” during the fall of 1868. Accidents are now of rare occurrence. There are two things on the road, however, which we (10 not like, and which the people generally would be glad to see abated, viz: the prices, which are just a “leetlc” too high, and the arbitrary action of the Company towards holders of commutation tickets. A few days since a traveling vagrant, a Canadian by birth, named William Sutton, 40 years of age, was taken sick with the dysentery while under the fence near the residence of Henry Lamberton,'Esq. When discovered, he had been laying in that po- sition 24 hours, and was so exhausted that he died in a short time. Every effort was made by Dr. Bouton to resuscitate, butwith- out avail. . John Allen, Esq., the reticent individual who attended the old toll-gate near the res- idence of D. M. Marvin, Esq., some twenty- five years ago; whose genial countenance and courteous deportment will be remem' bered by all who had the pleasure of com' ing in contact with them, departed this life on Sunday, 2lst., in the 57th year of his age. “Requiescat in pace,” Rice and McCook, the persons who it is said broke into E. A. Williams & Son’s Boot and Shoe Store lately, were arrested and tried for that ofi‘ense. Evidence was produced which would render it morally certain that they were the guilty parties. They are accorangly bound over to the Superior Court. - The case of B. W. Maples es the N. Y- & N. H. Rail Road for assault and battery with alleged intention to eject, and annihi- late, comes off, so it is said, at the present term of the Court. Judge James Whiting of New" York, and “ Curt” Thompson of Bridgeport are counsel for prosecution. The elements of richness in development of evidence may therefore be expected. As we cannot have a Saugatuck Valley Road, that project being “ gone dead,” it is proposed to constructs. Horse Railway from Westport to Saugatuck. Such a thing is believed to be perfectly feasable, and if built would greatly add to the facility and cheapness with which we could get to and from the cars, would increase the value of real estate on its line, and would furnish ex- tra inducements for strangers to come and settle among us. If the subscribers would allow a small portion of their stock to. vest in the new scheme, thereis little doubt of its ultimate success. It is given out that parties stand ready to take one quarter of the stock and build the road, provided three quarters can be raised by people in town. As September approaches, oysters begin to grow better. Has the letter R anything to do with it? . Roast round clams in small quantities are considered by the medical fraternity as very healthy when taken daily as a dinner side- dish. For heavy work, however, they are comparatively worthless. In proof, look at the fat men who eat clams as a business. The agreeable coolness of the past few days conveys the assurance that the extreme heats of Summer are broken. To prevent serious injury from eating green corn at this season, chew and swal- low the cobs. Also of peaches, they never hurt him who swallows the pits. For three years the Fat Men have sat down to feasts prepared for them, demolish- ishing the same, not in a short space of time but in time of abominable length. We have been present at all these feasts but do not remember to have heard grace said previous to eating. The following is respectfully suggested as proper to be used at annual Bakes, and as a forcible reminder that “ all flesh is grass’k—viz. “We thank Thee for these blessed clams so bountifully spread, and our capacztg to enjoy them.” It is now settled that by reason of the dry weather, onions, throughout the country. will yield only one-half a crop. Potatoes are also short. Apples, on the contrary, never were more plenty. Every tree, large and small, groan under the weight of them. They talk about going to Newport for “relaxation,” to Long Branch for “ recrea- tion,” and to Saratoga for “amusement and health, but if one wishes to see “ tall” fun, let him go down to “ Great Marsh,” West- port Harbor, and see the mosquitos open round clams with their bills. ' The biting in that region is ten times worse than that down on the “ Jersey Flats.” The heat of the past Summer has been so great, and so persistently disagreeable, that many have been put to their wits to keep cool, some resorting to one thing, and some to another, with no satisfactory result. A New Haven second-hand clothier seems to have had the advantage in this respect, for he recently announced that he had “ left off clothing of every description.” Look out for Jack Frost after dog-days! More than the usual number of dwelling houses are going up or repairing in West- port now. ‘ For some time previous to the Census, we, with others, anticipated a large increase in the population of Westport. The result as given shows that we have just about stood still and held our own during the past ten years. We have gained 68 only, but that is better than making a retrograde movement. We read about the “iron age” of the world, the age of “bronze,” and the “golden age.” All very good, but as we look at the depredations of thieves, house-breakers, and other villains, may we not add that we“ are .now living in the age of “steal” (steel) “PAUL."

The cabalastic letters I H S V and I H S often seen in ancient churches and upon crosses, ctc.,are carefully explained in Ap- pleton’s Journal 'for July thirtieth. The first four letters are supposed to be the ini- tial letters of the words which the emperor Constantine thought he saw in the heavens the night previous to his great victory over heathenism ; In Hoe Signo Vince’s—under this sign thou shalt conquer. and the I H S are supposed to be a contraction of the Greek work IHOUS—Jesus, or the initials of Ignatious Loyola’s motto, under a cross In Hoe Salas—in this is safety. .>+—_—- Few People unacquainted with physiological chemistry are aware of the quantity of iron in the blood, but all should know the importance of keep. ing up the supply, for debility, disease and death are sure to follow when the quantity becomes too much reduced.

The solid, substantial character of the security has attracted to these bonds the attention of capitalists who prize an investment which Insurcs the ABSO' LUTE SECURITY OF THE PRINCIPAL, and a lib- eral rate of interest. The tax exemption features of the security make the investment unusually desirable to purchasers re- siding in CONNECTICUT, where they are Free from every Description of Tax. THE BONDS are secured by 0 FIRST MORTGAGE on ALL THE PROPERTY of a railroad fifty-two miles in length, running through the center of the State of Connecticut, forming, with Its connections. the shortest and quickest route between Boston and New York. The VALUE of the PROPERTY covered by the mortgage is MORE THAN DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF BONDS ISSUED. The road is COMPLETED AND TRAINS ARE RUNNING BETWEEN NEW HAVEN AND MID- DLETOWN, while east of Middletown the unfinished portion is graded for over twenty miles, which leaves only some seven or eight miles to grade to COM- PLETE THE WHOLE LINE. The bridge over the Connecticut River, designed to be the finest and most snbstnntld structure of the kind in this country, is well under way: a large por- tion of the iron work is already prepared, and will be placed in position as soon as the piers are finished. The business future of the road is unusually prom. icing. The road not only brings the greater part of New England nearer New York, but It opens a sec- tion through the populous and thriving State of Con_ nectlcut which heretofore has been entirely destitute of railroad facilities, and, unlike most new roads, has a well established and profitable local business await. ing its completion. The line has thirteen dlfi'erent railroad connections at Middletown and New Haven- It connects and passes through some dozen different towns, whose aggregate population equals one-third of the total population of the Slate.
