Last Wednesday,a man by the name of
George E. Palmer, lately a resident of
Worcester, Mass, while walking on the
track between Noroton and Darien. was
struck and instantly killed by the 1 o'clock
express from New York. A telegram was
sent to his relatives in Worcester, and at
their request the body was sent to that city
on Thursday.
‘ ’ M. S. & J. C. Mather have commenced to
build a large extension on the rear of their
grocery store. They have also lately pur-
chased and put in position a large Fair-
bank’s hay scale.

The Steamer Bridgeport ran against a
lung or a rock ofi‘ Pan Point, last Friday,
and was at once taken to the shore at Dari-
cn. where the passengers, about fifteen in

WESTPORI‘.
The ice problem, if it can so be called,
has been effectually solved this week by the
securing by everybody of all they wanted
to fill their respective houses. At the close
of the week ice measured fourteen inches
with a tendency to grow thicker.
The weather has been after the pattern of
the winter goddess’ oldest and most approv-
ed designing. Early in the week it gave us
‘a touch of raih with thaw. Just as we be-
gun to feel encouraged, extreme cold set in.
transforming slush to ice, and glazing the
outer surface of visible things. Among the
unwary who have suffered are, Mrs. Jan: es
Fillow 0f Poplar Plain who, on Tuesday.
while carrying a pail of water, fell and
broke her left arm. On Wednesday Miss
Sally Nash while drawing water at the well
fell and broke her right arm.
During this period of financial stringency
it is wholesome to observe that reaso'n still
holds sway in the bosoms of many. As an
instance of the truth of this statement a
citizen’s ofi'er of five dollars for the recovery
ofa diamond t?) ring worth eighteen dollars
is cited. '

There has been enterprise in the eel busi.

'I‘isnt Oyster Case.
A ttiai which has excited some interest,
especially among the oystermen of Stars-
ford and Norwalk,has been in progress in
the Stamford court room a portion of this
and last week, Justice N. E. Adams presid-
ing. It appears that Mrs. Daniel Smith, of
Fair Haven, is the owner of some oyster
beds at Five Mile River, and a sloop, all of
which property was left incharge of Frank
Hollis, of Five Mile River. Mr. Hollis was
under general instructions to do the best he
could with the property. and in pursuing
ois evocation had about 150 bushels ol'
marketable oysters on board the sloop about
the middle of Decemberlast. On the morn-
ing of the 20111, after a stormy night, he
found that the sloop had disappeared from
the anchorage in Wilson‘s cove. Mr. Hollis
at once took measures to look her up. He
searched along the coast toward the east,
and after considerable trouble found the
vessel near Keyser’s Island, Norwaik bar.
bor. On going aboard it was quickly dis-
covered that about linlf the oysters had
been carried ofi‘, and after further inquiry it
transpired that a steamboat pilot saw a lit-
tle black sloop alongside the oyster vessel
during the night. This fact and a few other
circumstances at once threw suspicion on
two youn oystermen named Willis Saun-
ders and ames Hoyt, who were arrested on
charge of stealing the sloop. The oysters,
in the meantime. having been found at Al-
phonse’s, in Stamford, it was resolved first
to try the parties for stealing the oysters,
and they were so indicted. Mr. Hollis
claims to be able to recognize the oysters as
the same that were stolen from him. on ac-
count of certain peculiarities about them.
Mr. Alphonse identified the prisoners as the
parties who had sold him the oysters. The
case is to be taken before the superior
court, and in the meantime the defendants
are under bonds to appear. It is said that
Saunders is to secure his own safety by
turning state's evidence. Messrs. Bullock, of
Bridgeport, and Curtis, of Stamford appear-
ed for the defendants, and Mr. E. L. Sco-
field for the state—Stamford.

That Little Girl.
The jovial captain of one of the steam-
ships now in port tells a good story relative
to the May and December mania es so
common in Brazil. A Brazilian cent eman,
apparently over fifty years of age, was a
passenger on his vessel. He was accom-
panied by two girls. one about fifteen, and
another younger. The gentleman was sea-
sick in the cabin, and the girls were on
deck, whereupon the captain endeavored to
amuse them—took them on~‘his knees and
told them stories, while he enjoyed their
prattle and pretty smiles. In the midst of
this pleasant occupation the gentleman
came on deck. With afierce expression, he
gazed upon the scene for the moment, and
then inquired in a harsh, husky voice:
“You, sir, are you married?” “Yes. I
have a daughter older than your little girl
here," said the captain. “She reminds me
very much of mine." Here he patted the
pretty cheek. "That little girl, sir,” ex-
claimed the indignant Brazilian, with great
cmphasis,"that little girl is my wife, air."
The captain collapsed.

Amroxra m run House—The Gardner
News enumerates the following use of am-
monii :-"
No housekeeper should be without a bot-
tle ofspirits of ammonia. for besides its
medical value. it is invaluable for household
purposes. It is nearly as useful as soap,
and its cheapncss brings it within- reach of
all. Puta teaspoonful of ammonia into a
quart of warm soap-suds, dip in a flannel
cloth, and wipe ofi‘ the dust and fly-specks,
and see for yourself how much labor it will
save. No scrubbing will be necdlui. It
will cleanse and brighten silver wonderfully.
To a pint of suds mix a teaspoonfnl of the
spirits, dip in your silver spoons, forks. ctc.,
rub with a brush and polish with a chamois
skin. For washing windows it is very de-
su‘able; put a few drops of ammonia on a
piece of paper and it will readily take off
every spot or finger-mark on the glass. It
will take out grease spots from every fabric;
put on the ammonia nearly clear, lay blot-
ting papcr over the place, and press a hot
flat-iron on it for a few moments. A few
drops in water will clean laces and whiten
them as well; also muslins. Then it is a
most refreshing agent at the toilet table;
a few dropgiii a basin of water will make a
etter bath than pure water, and if the skin
is oily it will remove all glossiness and disa-
greeable odors. Added to a footbatb. it
entirely absorbs all noxious smell so often
arising from the‘fcet in warm weather, and
nothing is better for cleaning the hair from
dandruff and dust. For cleaning hair and
'nail brushes it is equally good.

A Cams-crusts ernn.—A letter to the
Troy Times says :-We .are now having
what is called in California the wet season
or winter. In some sections of the state
over one foot of water has already fallen.
The usual amount is about two feet during
the wet season. We call it winter here' at
the present time, yet it is like May and June
on the Atlantic coast. Rain most generally
falls here in the night time, while the days
are runny and warm. Flowers are bloom-
ing in all their variegated beauty in the
gardens on every hand, all kinds of green
sauce abound in tl.e market places. Straw-
berries grown‘ iu the open air are selling at
twenty-five cents per quart. The hills and
valcs are covered with grass affording the
most luxuriant feed for stock. We have
seen a little frost two or three mornings,
but suchsights are the-exceptions to the
general rule of the weather on the Pacific
coast

The New Milford Ray says there is a
sight worth traveling many miles to see at
the house of Mr. Canfield, in the edge of
Bridgewatcr. About eight weeks ago Mrs.
Canfield gave birth to a female child which
Weighed, at the time of birth,jnst one pound
and a half! At the present time its weight,
with all its clothing on, does not exceed twa
pounds and a quarteri We understand
that it is perfect in'shape, that all its organs
are well proportioned, but that its mouth is
so small that it cannot obtain sustenance in
the usual way and has had to have some-
thing madc expressly for it by which food
is administered. So much curiosity exists
concerning the little thing that people have
traveled long distances to see it.

Peter Cooper, of New York, says, “ Since
I have lived in the upper part of the city, I
had the ofi‘erofeighteen acres ofland, bound-
ed by Fifth avenue, Twenty-third street and
Eighth avenue. for eleven thousand dollars—
iand that would have sold two years ago for
some fifteen million of dollars.”
Two young gentlemen were looking] at
fashionable ladies promenading in front of a
fashionable hotel. One of them asked the
other why he did not get married. " You
have money enough," said he, “ to feed a
wife.” “Yes,” replied the other, “but I have
not enough to clothe lier.”—(.arl Schultz.
Rev. S. G. Willard of Colchestcr, has been
in the ministry twenty five years, and com-
memorated the anniversary on the 8th inst.,
by a review sermon. He was ordained pas-
tor of the church in Willimantic, Nov. 8th,
15549, and remained with them nearly nine-
teen years; the rest of his ministry has been
with the people in Colchcstcr.
She was a widow and at a party the other

was here last Summer the very picture of
health, and for a man of his years, of
strength. Afflicted with no disease. his
prospects for becoming acentennarian were
good, but a mistep made while ascending a
stairway in his own house so affected his
constitution as to render it impossible for
him to recover. Conscious of his condition
he awaited serenely the time of his taking
all. The funeral occured at Trinity Church,
New Haven, of which he had been a mem-
ber from the time of its consecration on
Wednesday, many from Westport attending.
The jurors selected by the authorities to
do jury duty during the year are, Jesse

The First National Bank re-elected its
board of directors at the annual meeting
held at the bank last Tuesday. A substan-

followed.
During the week Mr. Charles Wakeman,
ot‘Green’s Farms, lost by' death four valua-
ble horses. The disease with which they
were attacked being of a nature not under-
stood by our resident veterinarians, and
there are several here who enjoy reputation,
Dr. Crcssey, late Veterinary Surgeon, made
a visit to the farm and held a post mortem
on the dead animals, but, as is claimed,
without attaining any very lucid result.
The disease with which the horses died re-
mains a mystery.
Mr. H. W. Lyon, went to an intelligence
office in New York one day last week to
obtain a girl to live with his wife. He
selected one aged {about thirteen years.
The girl, when Westport was mentioned.
did not want to go thence, but Mr. Lyon,
thought her diifidence only a notion, and
finally persuaded her to accompany him.
Soon after her arrival here it transpired that
the girl was a. daughter of Mr. Erastus P.
Smith, who had run away from home to
escape the chiding she expected to receive
in punishment for a theft of money, and
finding her way to New York, took refuge
in the intelligence ofiice as stated, where
Mr. Lyon found her. The girl has been
claimed by and taken back to her parents.

Every.moment of delay makes our cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the udicipus choice
of a. remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Schenek-‘s Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for con-
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brou ht to
support the pretentious of any oflier me iciue.

cates ot'many persons of the hi host respectability,
who have been restored to hen th. after being Jare-
trounced incurable by physicians of acknowle gerl
ability. Schenck’s Ptiimonic Syrup alone has cured
many. as these evidences \vil show; but the cure
is often promoted by the employment of two other
remedies which Dr. Schenck rovides for the pur-
ose. These additional reme ies are Schenck’s Sea
‘eed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use
of these medicines, according to directions, Dr.
Schcnck certifies that most any case of Consump-
