FAIRPIELD COUNTY ITEMS.
DARIEN.
Masons. Enrronsz—I notice in your last
week’s issue an advertisement .headed “A
neighborhood without a school, which rep-
resents the portion of Darien referred to in
a mostdeplorable condition. If the inten-
tion of the advertiser-is tomake out a strong
case for parties interested in schools to try
and rent his property, the advertisement is
a good one; but I deny that it contains a
just or true representation of things as they
are here, and therefore I take this means of
correcting erroneous impressions which cut-
siders might get of us from the notice in
question. We have not been without
schools. Our district school in the higher
department, for the past year, has not been
in some respects up to the mark. The pri-
mary department has been well managed
and by a teacher who has had all the pupils
she desired, and who is qualified to teach
any children who may be committed to her
care, though they have been to higher
schools. But in addition to the district
school, there have been in this benighted
neighborhood two select schools for the past
three months. These schools are now on-
joying their summer vacation, but are yet in
existence as school organizations. They.
’ have been well attended, and taught to the
full satisfaction of all who have sent chil-
dren to them. Any one commencing a new
:school here with the expectation (as the ad-
vertiser would lead them to hope) of any
large local attendance, will be disappointed,
for people well satisfied with schools already
in operation are not likely to change for
those which are only experimental. The
crying evil in all our towns respecting our
district schools is that men of means and in-
flgtcnce give no sort of attention to them be-
yond paying their taxes, and as for attend»
ing a school meeting and planning and
working to make our schools effective, this
is never thought of. Hence,being ignorant
of what is done for the public good by
others, it .is imagined, as if it were possible
in Connecticut, that a neighborhood is with-
out a school. A. B. C.
‘ Services of special interest to the people
of Darien, were held in the Congregational
Church of that place on August let, where
the Consociation of Faitfield West met to
ordain and install Rev. Mr. Walker as pas-
tor of that Church. The morning was de-
voted to the organization or the Consocia-
tion, and the exam ination of the candidate,
and the afternoon to the public exercises
common on such occasions. Mr. Gibson pre-
, sided at the organ with his usual good taste,
and played the following beautiful selec-
tions :
1. ( fl‘ertoire in ab ......... . ................. Batiste
2. Communion in G .................... . ..... Batiste
3. Pastorale in F, op. 51... . . .. ............... Kullak
4. Andante Sonata, No. 6.. . . . . .. . . . . . . .Mendelssohn
Followed with an anthem by the choir.
After reading by the scribe, the
minutes of the morning session, and reso-
lution of Consociation to ,proceed with the
exercises, Rev. Mr. Dunham, of Norwalk,
read.the 4th chapter of 2nd Corinthians,
and offered prayer. The congregation united
with the choir in singing the hymn, “ We
bid thee welcbmc in the name of Jesus our
exalted Head,"aiier which Rev.‘Mr. Dun.
ning, of South Norwalk, preached an able

town many years since. Mr. Wood is a very aged
man, but yet halo and hearty. He left thisplace for
the West in the year 1810, sixty-one years ago, in
company with Silas Marvin, Charles Marvin, and
David Gibbs, also of this town, and Charles Ii. Sher-
man, of Norwalk, Conn, father of Senator John
Sherman and Gen. W. T. Sherman, These five gen-
tlemen took their. departure in a lumber box wagon
for their destination in Ohio, reaching it after a tire-
some though romantic Journey of three weeks.
There were no railroads then. Each chose his par-
ticular locality and settled upon it. Mr. Wood is
brother to Hon. Bradford R. Wood, and has sisters
in Westport. These have received periodical visits
from him during the past sixty Years: Mrs. W00d.
his accomplished wife, is sister to Major-Gen. "Joe"
Hooker, U. S. A. Mr. W. has lived morethan his
four-score years, three.score of which have been
passed far away, Yet, he comes back with pleas-
ure to this place, although scarcely-a soul of his
youthful companions remain to greet him, finds
enough in memory to draw him hence. How great
the truth that “ There is no place like home," espe-
cially when it is the place of one’s birth. May he
yet live many years to annually come among us.

The work of raising subscriptions to aid in prep-

outlook new is that the aflalr will be a success.
We observe that “Tun Guru Brannon Conro-
nA-rrons,” in his last “ Hours,” has fallen from grace
tnletting offsundry vrtuperations intended to hit
not only “ Paul” the “Apostle” to various county
newspapers but to attack, by implication at least,
the good “Bishop " of a certain railroad. We had
supposed that mortals in their dying orgies usually
sought quietness and peace, but in the present in-
stance we are compelled to acknowledge that this,
like every general rule, has its exceptions, in that it
has now been so brilliantly reversed. .

Mr. Morris Ketchum, who is one of our
best agriculturists as well as thrifty finan-
ciers, informs us that the little yellow-flow-
cred shrub or plant known as the “Virginia
weed,” and which was first introduced into
our State as‘a flOWer for cultivation, is like-
ly to prove one of the worst pests the former
has to contend with. Cultivation will not
destroy it, as is the case with the white
daisy, salt will not kill it, neither will~burn-
ing. - Nothing short of absolute smothering
will suppress its‘spread, and Mr. K. says
our farmers should be on the alert to exter-
minate the pest before it gets the upperhand
of them. Nothing will eat it, and so it is a

was one of unusual interest, and abounded
in excellent suggestions to the Sunday
School, and parental, as well as pulpit
teacher.
After singing the hymn, “ Let Zion’s
watchmen all awake,” the “ Ordination
Prayer” was offered by the moderator of
Consociation, Rev. Dr. Rankin.
Rev. Mr; Kinney, of Darien, delivered the'
impressive “ charge to the pastor,” followed
with the “Right Hand of Fellowship” by
Rev. Mr. Hibbard, of Green’s Farms.
The hymn "How beauteous are their feet,”
was sung, and the charge to the people, an
earnest appeal to the Church to care tender
ly and loving for the young pastor now set
over them, in the. Lord, was delivered by
Rev. Edwin Johnson, of Bridgeport. The
choir sang another anthem, and the bene-
diction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Walker.
Before the large congregation dispersed
Mr. Gibson kindly entertained them with a
number of his choice selections of organ
music, embracing
1. Od‘ertoire in D, op. 8, (St. Cecile, No. 2). . .Batiste
2. Theme and Variations, op, 34 ............... Hesse
3. Grand Fugue in 3 minor. . . ........ . . . .J. s. Bach
4. Triumphal March, op. 26 ................ D. Buck
Rendered in "his finest style. The music
added very greatly to the pleasure of the oc-
casion, as did also the'beautiful floral and
evergreen decorations of the church. .An
exquisite pyramid of choice flowers adorned
the table, two smaller in size, but equally
brilliant in color were placed on each side
of the pulpit platform, while baskets grace-
fully arranged, snpplanted the pulpit lamps
in their ordinafilv exalted position.
Taking into account the unusually inter-
esting exercises,the warm words of welcome,
the beautiful music, the sweet presence of
owers,and the cloudless skies, Mr. Walker
.and the Church may consider his ministry
:ambng them, as their ordained pastor, com-
menced under the most pleasant auspices.

the evening were ope‘ned with prayer by
Rev. W. T. Bill, followed with the congrat-
ulatory address, and anniversary retrospect
by Rev. C. S. Walker, pastor of the Congre-
gational Church, Darien.‘ The orator of the
evening Rev. A. N. Benedict, G. .W. P. of
the state of Connecticut, was then introduced
and made an interesting statement of the
necessity of persistent effort in the temper-
ancework and the true elements ofits success.
Temperance gleeo, were very pleasantly
rendered with excellent effect by an im-
promptu quartette, adding greatly to the en-
joyment of the evening. -
The ladies of the Division entertained
their friends with a most bountiful supply
of the delicacies of the season, the supper
table being adorned wi’thebaskets and pyra-
mids of flowers, presenting a most tasteful
appearance. '
After a few remarks by Rev. Mr. Hill,
Rev. Mr. Walker spoke the parting words
of thankfulness for the past and good cheer
for the future, and the audience was dismis-
sed with the benediction pronounced by the
G. W. P. Rev. Mr. Benedict.

Samuel Thorn, Esq., the first great Ameri-
can importer of short horn breeds of cattle
from England, and who, it will be remem-
bered, astounded all Europe as well as
America at the enormous prices he paid to >
get the best specimen animals in existence,
is spending the summer with his family at
Mrs. Smith’s at Saugaiuck. The fine stock
of Mr. Morris Ketchum—the “Duchess”—
is the strain Mr. Thorne was so enamored
of, and to show that he did not misjudge,
the last year his son sold a young animal to
go back to England, for $3,000 gold, and the
same short horn bull, since his arrival out,
has sold fer a thousand guineas or $5,000!
The English stock-breeders admit that
we have now-here in America finer speci-
mens of their great favorites, the short horns,
than can be found anywherein Europe. It
is the belief also of the best breeders on
both sides of the Atlantic, that cm long the
new favorite and pretty Devons, A'yreshires,
and Alderneys will, on account of their lack
of size, be superceded by the more noble,
and equally valuable dairy animals, the
Durhams or short-horns.

We urge upon capitalists and all having money to
invest, the most careful Investigation of
these securities, believing them to combine more
safety and profit than any Railroad Bond now in the
market. The Portland and Ogdensbnrg Railroad
line will be the thou-tent route by more then
My much from the Lnken to the Atlantic.
The road willhsve local bu linens enough to
pay all its running expenses and to insure the
prompt and regular payment of inter-
est on its small bonded debt. It will be the
greatest pleasure thoroughfhre in the
Eastern States, uniting by the shortest route Sura-
togu and Lakes George and Champlain with the
White Mountulul, Lakes Memphremsgog and
Wilioughby, Mount Mansfield and the cele-
brated mineral springs of Northern Vermont.
The Road is under the management of some of the
most experienced, successful and widely known
business men in the country, who will insist upon
the closest economy and honesty in the administra-
tion of its afl‘airs. .
The managers of the Road have themselves in-
vested largely in its capital stock, the cash subscrip-
tions being nearly sufficient to complete the Road
ready for the iron, (thus showing their appreciation
of the importance and valrie of this enterprise). For
convenience of investors the bonds (coupon or regis-
tered), are of the following denominations:
81,000, 3500 and 8100,
and the interest, on run our. com, is payable semi-
annually in Boston on' the 1st of May and the 1st of
November. These Bonds are ofi'ered until further
notice, at 90, and accrued interest in currency.
