' On Thursday last, at 12:30, in the Memo- rial church of the Holy Trinity, Right-Rev. John Williams, Bishop of the Diocese, as? sisted by Rev. L. S. Stevens, rector of the church, and Rev. John R. Williams of Christ church, united in the bonds of matri- mony, Mrs M. F. Winslow of this place, and Mr. R. C. M. Page, a physician, late of Virginia. The event had been looked forward to with interest, and by reason of the popular- ity of the contracting parties, the one for her immense wealth which she had so long unspnringly dealt out in noble charities, public and private, and the other for his at- tentions to the afllicted among the humbler classes ,in the town of his adoption, the church was crowded. - Extensive arrange- ments had been made at the church and at the house to celebrate the event. Mr. J limes- Quig , the popular sexton of the Holy Trin- ity church, 42nd street, New York, being in charge at the former, and the veteran cater- er, L. Delmonico, at the latter. As if to smile on the happy pair, nature was in her kindliest mood, and fragrance from natural flowers at the altar, and tones of sweetest music from the choir organ mingled, if that were possible, with the common joy. Seven hundred invitations to the wedding had been issued and guests from the village, Norwalk, Southport, New Haven, Norwich and New York, the latter reaching their destinatoia by special car attached to the lightening train, were present. Promptly at the hour, the Bishop in his canonical robes appeared at chancel rail. A moment later, the bride, attired in an exquisite lilac color- ed silk, 9» train, imported from Paris, passed up the aisle in company with her brother and Miss Nellie Smith, daughter of a former rector, followed by the groom is a suit of black, embroidered shirt front with diamond studs, and Mrs. L. F. Sargent, of Hartford, leaning on his arm, The beautiful ceremo. nial of the Episcopal church was performed by the Bishop, Rev. Mr. Stevens taking part. At its close Mendelssohn’s Wedding March was given by the organist, during which, Majesty’s ships of the line,” then present in dom made the passage, however, without being intercepted by a sentinel, who would ask his business, what he had ill the boat, what was to be done with it, &c., and on a reply being made that he was an oyster- man, or something of that sort, was allowed to go on his way. Artifice had to be em- ployed to make his plans work, and on one occasion, when asked the usual questions, he answered that he had a few potatoes in the bottom of his boat ,which he was con- veying to his family. Little did the men on guard think that beneath the esculent pile rcposed a half bushel of Spanish dollars, and that the “old oysterman” and “potato carrier” had already made more than one journey with a similar freight of the pre- cious metal. Some time after the war broke out, history tells us the British forces left their ships, landed at Cedar Point, marched up Compo street, on their way to Ridgefield and Danbury. This was after Mr. N.’s removal here, and his gun, wheth- er carricd by himself or not,canuot he posi- tively statcd,’was used, in company with others, to “pop” at the red coals as they reached the head of the street, near where Mrs. Winslow now dwells. The war over, for forty years succeeding, the gun made decidedly erratic movements, passing from one person to another in rapid succession but never getting far from the decendants of him to whom it had been of such ser- vice. As time advanced, people who knew began .to esteem the old gun as worth pre- serving as a relic. Mr. David Platt, of Easton, an uncle of Mr. Hurlbutt’s, was of the appreciative list, and bought and kept it for years. At his death, two years ago, it was again thrown on the market, and re- cently Mr. Hurlbutt secured the treasure by purchase, and will carefully preserve. The arm, now not less than one hundred and thirty years. old, is a quaint looking piece, and is a great curiosity. Mr. B. L. Woodwortll of the 1st National Bank, who has occupied one house during the past 14 years, has removed across the Street to that of his father-in-law, Gen. Henry Sherwood. Mrs. G. T.

At the last meeting, addresses ere made by Rev. Messrs. Willis, Hunting- ton, Woolsey, Weed and Stevens, and near to enliven it with music. Present at Messrs Daskam, Andrews and Oliver Hoyt_ the reception were, from Westport, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Staples, Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Werner and family, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Bou- ton, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Hurlbutt, and a host of others; from Southport, Capt. Jonathan Godfrey and Mrs. Schenck ; New Haven, Rev. Mr. Flagg and N. M. Baldwin ; Nor- wich, Mr'. W. H.

This, however, need standjii‘the way of stating~ thatma‘ happy time favored the guests, who remained with their hefty host till a late hour. Persons having doubts that eight men can put themselves outside of 2% bushels of oysters, have but to ask those en- gaged in the operation to have their doubts removed. . .' , ' “ Vigilant" boys, beat the “Pioneers” at base ball Friday, by a score of24 to 19.

Mr. B. held a post mortem, but the cause of death was not satisfactorily ascertained. Mr. Ambrose S. Hurlbutt has a flint-lock musket, (king’s arm), which figured during the war of the Revolution, and the history of which, without doubt, dates back to a period anterior to that event. The gun once belonged t.) Mr. Hurlbutt's great; grandfather, Daniel N ash, who died in 1842, and whose ashes, with those of his wife, Freelove, rest in St. Paul’s churchyard, Norwnlk. It was used by him as arelia- ble protector against the “red coats” who were present in numbers after the Declara- tion in 1776, and the struggle for Independ- ence had commenced.
