DARIEN, May 8. A railroad accident of any great impor- tance on a. line whose record has for years past been so free from'those terrible “mis- takes’.’ and “casualties,” as that of the N; Y. dz N. H. R. R. is sure to produce a great amount of excitement, and to provoke much comment. When on Tuesday morning, it was reported that a freight train had been wrecked a mile or two distant from Darien, I did not at first credit the assertion, but as “seeing is believing,” I started at 8 a. m., in search of the ruins. ' accompanied by a friend. The track curves only a short distance from the scene of the disaster, so until we were within a few yards Of the place nothing unusual was visible except a troop otexcitcd boys bent upon the same errand as ourselves. Freight trains were passing continually. At last just as we were about to give up the search in the belief that the report was only a_ canard, we rounded the curve and arrived on the scene of action. Here, indeed, was a scene Well worth our walk. The track for several rods was covered with a conglomeration of twisted rails, debilitated trucks, men, (both working and idling) bales and boxes of freight, and scattered everywhere the usual number of boys, evidently determined to be in the way and to add as much as possible to the general confusion. The Superintend- ent of the road was present, and with a large working force was striving to bring order out of chaos, with but indifferent suc- cess. Part Of the workmen were taking up the bent and damaged rails and replacing them with new ones. Others were remov- ing the broken trucks from the cars and endeavoring to clear the track, so as to permit the passage of trains. Still others were removing and piling up the freight. Some of the cars were badly shattered, one being fairly cut in two in the middle. The great iron bars connecting the wheels in some cases were bent nearly double. Brakes were twisted in an intricate manner and, in fact all the cars looked fit for nOtli- ing else but a thorough “cremation.” A curious fact is that out of the six cars damaged materially, five of them had the figure four (4) in their numbers, evidently an unlucky number as they were smashed on the night of May 4th. Little boys were busily engaged in gathering up and appro- priating all movable articles, and they ware ' helped in this by older persons possessed of frugal minds. Some of these carried off from two'to three pounds of coffee. Two or three telegraph poles were knocked of JOHN N. Burrs. Price the same as at the Publication office, 5 cents. WESTPORT. Under the influence of warmth remarka- ble as compared with previous days, the trees have put forth and vegetation has ad- vanced rapidly since Saturday morning. Nature is generally true to herself, though this year it would seem that she has been a little dilatory. . Wednesday was a (lay of rare beauty and many of our citizens were induced to make a journey to New Haven to participate in the inaugural ceremonies. ' Hubbell &; Wakeutan of Saugatuck with the assistance of George B. Smith, Esq., carpenters, and a young army of masons. tinners, and painters, have transformed their heretofore unsightly store front- to something attractive and beautiful. The firm are under heavy expense in carrying out plans, but believe the increase of trade will warrant expenditure. Carpenters and others are busy on the respective places of W. R. McCready and Alex Lawrence,'and they report great im_ provements in process, indicating that both gentlemen intend to make Wesfport a place of permanent abode. Mr. Noah W. Bradley says he shall be glad to have further improvements in cer- tain roads at Saugatuck and leading from thence to Norwalk. . During a brief visit to Lockport, New York, Rev. Mr. Stevens’ pulpit at Memorial church ‘ll be supplied by Rev. Mr. Lours- bury. If the number of acres planted this spring is any indication, there will be a tremen- dous onion crop to harvest next fall. Nobody disputes that Compo Engine ran ously injured thereby, the statements of ignorant parties to the contrary notwith. standing. The boy is slowly recovering, but will show the effects of the accident on his person for many years to come. Prominent Green’s Farms people say it was an outrage on the public to expend the sum of $500 to repair certain roads in that, locality which are little used, when roads which the public are constantly compelled to travel are neglected. Mr. Amos Barncs’ new house assumes shape and if finished up in the style as begun, will be an ornament to the depot road. Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Page are expected to re. turn to Westport this week. On Saturday two large bears accompa- nied by four men reached this place from Norwalk on their way to Bridgeport. They stopped to entertain such people as are fond ofbears. It turned out that there are many such.

The Dead Man’s Brook, the bears antics fright and the necessary but almost numberless articles latter were lovingly twisted in trees, caught on fences, and running on the ground. Men “are busily at work repair- ing the poles, am! getting the wires again in order. Some of the cars occupied curious positions. Two were halfway down the side of a steep bank, evidently having start- ed a “branch line" on their own account. All the tin had been torn from the roof of one of them, and hung down covering the side. NO one was killed bythis accident but one brakeman was thrown off- and damaged considerably. It is said that the engineer and fireman were bruised a little. If the train had been filled with passengers the Idea of life would have been fearful Nearly all day Tuesday trains on the 3up truck, were switched off on the down track would henceforth be less anxious to engage IIISIG at Darien, and so proceeded to South Nor- Walk in this way causing very little delay- The company will have a heavy bill to pay for damaged goods, but the controllers of the road should be thankful that it is only a loss of freight and not Of human ii 'es that can be charged to them. r mus. .I‘ STAMFORD.

Several meetings were held last week, one of which was addressed by two ladies Rom Brooklyn. Company C, 4th Regiment, was recein on their return from New Haven. Wedn es- day, by Atlantic Hose Company and the Cornet Band, and escorted to the Bose Company’s House, where all handsjollitled. The Baptist Sunday School presented Mr. J. G. Senlling with a full set of Chainbers’ Encyclopedia before he left town. The'annual election of Atlantic Hose Co. No. 1, was held on Tuesday evening. Chas. ened a horse driven by Mr. Frank Elwood, with whom were riding the members of his family, the horse turned suddenly round upsetting the carriage. All hands were pitched out but fortunately no one was hurt. Mr. John Hubbell, who with others was compelled to haul in fences and move build- ing in obedience to the decision of the County Commissioners, says‘ that he would rejoice to have some citizen petition for the widening of roads fronting the premises of those who were so active regarding this matter of the depot road. He thinks if said parties were themselves made to-obey what they call the law of justice and right when the interests of the public demand, they in schemes of this kind. The joke Fests heavily on the Board of Se- lectmcn this time and no mistake, as the following will show. A certain property owner on the depot road who hndmovcd his fences and buildings and was entitled to certain sums from the town in the way of damages assessed by the Commissioners, ap- plied to the Selectmen last week for the amount. He was asked if he had done the work faithfully and in such a manner as to be acceptable to the town. He thought he had. The Selectmen said, “ Well, we do not doubt your word, but we cannot pay the money until the work has been inspected. If found all right your money shall be forth- coming.” The property owner departed. The same day another property owner call- ed on a similar mission. He wanted his money,—had performed what was reguired of him, fences all right, etc., and would like the cash that day. The Selectmen were made to feel that the property owner, havingvoted right at the late election, was telling truth, and they said, “ Yes, you are entitled to consideration, here it is," at the same time filling an order for the amount. It has since transpired that the property owner had not touched his fences to move them, and did not intend to until the cash was in hand. And now, how one man’can but another cannot receive at the hands of the Selectmen that consideration to which he may be entitled, is an enigma the public willstudy withlittlc prosect of satisfactorily solving. to be found inawell stocked Drug Store.
