WESTPORT.

The demise of Hon. Millard Fillmore,
which occurred last week, brings to mind
memories of the past. Mr. Fillmore was
the only err-President who ever honored
Westport with a special visit. The event——
for it was indeed an event to the people of
this quiet town, took place during the sum-
mer of 1859. H. R. Winslow had recently
completed a palatial residence and was in
the habit, each week, of bringing from New
York, distinguished people to pass Sunday
with him. On one occasion, Mr. W. ’s guests
were Mr. Fillmore and his accomplished
wife. They arrived Friday evening and
left on the following Tuesday. During that
period Mr. Winslow's house was open con-
tinually to such as chose to call and con-
verse with a. real ex-President. It is need-
less to say the opportunity was improved
and very many persons can call to mind this
day the pleasure they then experienced in
the presence of one eminent, not only in
the affairs of State, but in the possession of
A, charming, social characteristics. At that

time the ex—Pre'sident, with portly figure.

full face, hair while as snow, and mind ma-
ture but vivacious, was well calculated to
favorably impress all with whom he held
converse. On sunday he attended divine
service at Christ church, occupying a pew
directly back of the aged Daniel Nash who
had voted at every presidential election
from Washington down, including the visi‘
or for whom he cast a ballot in 1856, Rev.

John Pnrves preachd. The day was lovely

and the church was unusually crowded.

Mr. Fillmore must have been impressed in

gazing about the church to see so many

Venerable heads, for which that parish was

noted sixteen years ago, and he is reported

to have so remarked on returning from the
sacred edifice. Sixteen years have passed
and each of these aged ones has entered
into rest, all is now changed, and with sor-
rowful hearts, thinking of the causes, Mr.

Fillmorc’s name temporarily out of our

minds, but not forgotten, has been added to

the list.

Sunday evening March 8th, the wind be-
gan blowing violently from the west and it
has continued uninterruptedly during six
succeeding days. The mercury descend-
ed each night close to zero, and at no time
did it ascend higher in the day than 48°.
Coal and wood fires burned, but ceased to
give their usual heats, because blustering
March was present, “going round, and round
the house, peeping into every crack.” “Old
Prob.” told what we might expect, in ad-
vance.

The remains of the late-Senator Sumner
passed through here Saturday, on the Light-
ening Express, on their way to Boston. A
few persons who knew of the circumstance
were at the depot.

The color of the shirt to be worn by
members of the “ Vigilant" Fire Company
will be blue. It will be trimmed with white
and display an embroidered letter V on the
front.

Quite a number of well-houses and other
light out-houses have been upset, and in
some instances demolished by the wind du-
ring the week.

The J. M. Pinkney place has been let to
a Mr. Lett. There being no finer residence
and grounds in Westport, and Mr. Lett be-
ing a real nice man, it was eminently prop-
er to let Lett let the establishment.

The descendents of the late Ebenezer
Disbrow, have sold out their entire real
estate, and left Westport permanently.

.There are four brothers, three of whom long
since located in the far West. The remain-
ing brother Melancthon, departed last week.
The farm owned by them has passed into
quite a number of new hands. .

Subscriptions sufllcient. to defray the ex-
pense of putting up a building to receive
the new Hook & Ladder truck from Nor-
walk have been secured, and the work will
soon be commenced. The building is. to
stand near "Compo" engine house. The
Hook & Ladder establishment costing $250,
is the free gift of Mr. Ambrose S. Hurlbutt
to the town of Westport. , '

There is a little boy in town, who had
studied his book and remembered its teach-
ings so well, as to be able to read the New
York Herald and other papers long before
his seventh birth-day, which occurred
March 11th.

The 50th anniversary of Temple Lodge,
No. 65, happens in May, 1874, and not in
March, as‘ heretoforezstatcd.

The Trout Company have recently re-
ceived 500,000 salmon spawn to hatch by
contract. They have hatching troughs in
position sufficient to accommodate 1,000,-
000,000, spawn. It is probable however,
that the remaining space will be devoted to
trout, 19,000 or thereabout of which are now

' hatching. .
Dog poisoning seemed to be a favorite

occupation of certain parties in the village.
Up to Friday last no less than twelve ‘dog
.victims had yielded up their instincts. Two
of the dogs of the Esquimaux breed were
valuable, and should not have been includ-
ed in the list of the persecuted. Rational
people behold this brutal work with feel-
ings of contempt for those engaged in it.

Mr. A. L. Hurlbutt is in possession of the
gun (king's arm,) used by his great grand-
father during a period preceding the war
for American Independence. It is one of
those establishments calculated to do edi-
cient work in killing at long range. There
is a history connected with the arm which
is to be published.

For the benefit of those South Norwalk
capitalists who were last week asking about
the market price of Saugatuck Valley R. R.
Stock, designing to invest, we are instruct-
ed to say that the entire amount offered has
long since been absorbed.

Mr. Patrick Murphy, being unable to ac-
cept the invitation to dinner recently ex-
tended to him by the President of the F. M.
A., has in consequence fallen off in flesh to
the extent of 8 oz. The alarm of friends,
proportionate to the loss sustained by Mr.
P.—-', has been eloquently manifested.

Early Saturday morning when everybody
in the village was sound asleep, the cry of
fire was heard, startling and rousing them
from their slumbers. As suddenly the
village bells began ringing, and presently it
was discovered the schooner James K. Polk,
owned by Captains John and Peter Bulkley,

was in flames at the dock near by Taylor,
Richards dz Bradley’s store. Vigilant and
Compo, our two engines, were§speedily got
out, ; but arriving at the scene no water
could be obtained from the river, the tide
being {out, but a supply was found in Mr.
E. W. Lees‘ cistern. The fire had made
great headway and directly the vessel was
a mass of flame. In her hold was from
three to four hundred barrels of onions,
and on her decks not far from ten tons of
hay in bales, tbelwhole valued at $5,000,—
a freight with which Capt. Bulkley had
proposed, should the Wind lull, to proceed
with to New York, Saturday. The vessel
and cargo are almost a total loss. The tire
communicated with a storehouse on the
wharf, damaging it. It contained much hay
which was got out and rolled into Main
stréet. The night was blustering and bitter
cold, but the firemen worked nobly, and to
their exertions the owners of dwellings and

 

stores in the village owe the eXIstence of

their property to-day. There are conflict~
ing opinions as to whether the fire was in-
cendiary. A young man sleeping on board,
and who narrowly escaped suffocation, says
there was no fire in the cabin stove. If this
be true the vessel must have been set on
fire.

To confirm' this the firemen say

“Compo‘s” suction was crammed full of ice,

ready aid in extinguishing the flames.
There was no insurance on the vessel.

the veterans ofthe Texas revolution, died
in Texas recently. He was born in Bridge-
port in 1809. His father, John P. Austin,

During the performance of the “Color
Guard,” at the Opera House, a Mr. Langley,

one of the actors carelessly discharging a
gun in his face, the powder and wad striking
his forehead near the eye. Fortunately the
injuries did not prove serious.

On Monday of last week, Patrick McCoy,
at work unloading coal from a vessel,
caught his foot in a rope and fell into the
hold of the vessel, sustaining very serious if
not fatal injuries.

By the burning,r of the Western Hotel at
Pittsburg, Pa., on Sunday, March 8th, Mr.
Warren T. Bradley, formerly of Bridgeport,
lost his life, being burned to death. Mr.
Bradley. ,s a young man, and had been in
Pittsburg hi a few 9. months at the time of
his decoasc. He was the only son of Mr.
Walter Bradley, of Bedding, and a son-in-
law of Mr. Isaac P. Wheeler, ofEaston. He
leaves a wife and child, both in Easton at
the present time. His remains were taken
to Bedding for burial.

A chain-gang of 13 prisoners were taken

Destruction of Bucklnghani'o l‘urnl-

ture Factory-Loss $50,000.
Persons on the morning train yesterday
from New York, reported that as they came
through Bridgeport, flames were bursting
through the roof of the large furniture
manufactory and warehouse of N. Bucking-
ham, on Water street, in that city, and that
neighboring stores were in danger. It ap-
pears that the factory and store was almost
entirely consumed, together with much
valuable stock. The total loss can not be
far from $50,000, on which there is an in-
surance of about one-half. Several adjoin-
ing stores were damaged by water. Among
which are that of Solomon, clothier, loss
$2,500; Grauman do Wilson. harness and
trunks, $1,800; Hatch, hats and furs, $2,000.
At last accounts the origin of the fire was a
mystery—Palladium.
