Fall'fleld County Items.-
lVES’I‘ NORWALK.
This little liamlet'is getting to be a place of
no small importance as to local items. First,
we have a new Hist-mistress; as the former
I’ostmflster was disgust'ed, everybody ' had
to foot it to Norwalk after his own mail mat.
ter, but that pouldn’t Ilast.I Farmers,~farm—
ers’ sons, carpenters,——-iliiiost everybody ex-
cept the saw—mill man, is after the contract
for carrying the mail; guess no one wants
any pay, government: may get $50 bonus
for the honor; the sawqiiioll man, if asked,
may go bonds for the lucky fellow. ».
That butter scrape! Dear me! Every
neighbor swears the other one stole it. Sands
Iced has filled his tub again—also his revol-

whisper from him; he looks wise and spends
his houis in loneliness, pointing his finger in
different directions as the mend. takes'jiini;
once it pointed toward the Americas Club
House; the Boss had just escaped from the
sharks of New York—it must be him, he so-
Iiloquizcd; the neighbors heard, looked sol--
em a, then laughed and said : “not much,
game too small for the Boss.” ‘ ‘
\Vc must have a camp-meeting here next
summer in the saw-mill lot. The fellow'that
lost the skip of bees‘will attend, in. fact, ev—
erybody else. .
And so much more news I Sucli tiIiiieshcrc.

a little at small wages—ought to starve. -

- One of last Saturday afternoon’s trains ar-
rived at the depot with the floor of one car on
fire—caught from the extreme heat developed
by friction. Hose were put on to extinguish
the flames, and in a few minutes the danger
was over. ‘
Miss Phoebe Couzen’slecturc on the “High-

On Monday night some scoundrcl having

the animal 10st considerable blood, they will
probably survive. '
Mr. Farrington, wncr of the lot on Main
street next to \Vick’s bakery, talks of putting
up a brick building which shall include {our
stores, several officeer and an Opera House,
capable of‘seatingsix hundred people. The
opera house prificc't, which we alluded to last
week, was that which is reported as likely to
be erected on the Davenport place, “last Park.
Nothing can be reported with certainty about
these enterprises at present, except that they
are being seriously canvassed. _ ~
Preliminary Steps have .been taken for the
formation of a Merchant’s Protective Union,
the object of which will be to circumvent the
chronic “beats” who get all the credit they
can in one. store, and then when pay is de-
manded, are quite offended, and transfer- their
“patronage” to another establishment, only
to repeat the same game there. A list of un-
trustworthy persons wili be made out, and
all members of the. union will stand pledged
to give no credit to any One on the “black
list” until their arrears of debts are paid up.

The average num er of tramps at the work-
liouse continues to be about twelve, and a
huge pile of broken stone there attests the
fact that the force has not been idle. It is
estimated that the macadamizing material
now on hand would cover about 125 square
yards of road service. '
A company of prominent Stamford gentle-
men have for some time had in contemplation
the re-establislimcnt in the spring of a daily
steamboat line to New York: It is proposed
to hire the John Knapp or old steamboat
dock, buy or charter a side-wheel steamer,
and' put her on the route as a freightand-pas-
senger boat.——]Ieral<l.
\thn the freight train from -IIarlcni river
reached Sta rd at 10:49 Friday morning,
Thomas Powers, of New Rochelle, and John
Riley, 01“ Stamford, brakcmen employed on
that train, were discovered lying togethér on
top of one of the cars. Power’s skull was
broken and he was otherwise injured. He
was unconscious and cannot survive. they

unable to give any account of the matter.
It is supposed they were struck by a bridge
after leaving Riverside. There are three'
bridges between tll‘zlt place and Stamford.
Powers died on Friday evening and Riley’s
recovery is considered doubtful.

deaths in the town of \Vestport, for the
‘year ending Decembcr3lst, 1875, there were

Mr. Superintendent JclIilfe, of the Poplar
Plains trout ponds, has just finished the
work of,depositing in the rivers of the State
the young Salmon fry, hatched by him.
His percentage of loss during hatching and
transportation is less than that of any pre-
vious. ye. r, and his report .to the. State
Fish Commissioners, will form a pleasing
feature in the report they make to the Gen»
‘cral Assembly, The work of hatching at
the ponds, has been in the exclusive; charge
of Mr. Jellilfc, from the beginning, and the
greatestintcrest has been manifested by the
public in the process and the results. FOL
lowing is‘an exhibit showing the work done
among Salmon fry during four years: In
1872, there were received from Charles
AtkinI’s of Buckport. 'Me.., 10,000. Salmon
Eggs. Those were hatched atoll loss Of. 25
per cent., and were deposited in equal por-
portions in the Saugatnck river-at \VesItport,
and Mill river at SouthpOrt. In 1873, there
were received from Buckport, Mo, 350,000.
Eggs. ' These were hatched at a loss of only
5 per cent, and were deposited 40,000 in the
Saugatuck river, and 305,000 in the head wa-
ters of the Connecticut triver. In 1874,
there were received from Buckport, Me. ,’ 37 5,-
000 Eggs, by delay in packing some of these
had hatched out before shipment, and on their
arrival at the ponds, many of them were
found dead. The remaining Eggs. were
hatched at a loss of only 5 per cent. Same
year from the United States Hatching Estab-
lishment on the McCloud river, California,
under the supervision of Rev. Livingstone
Stowe, were received 150,000. These were
.'_in excellent condition and were hatched at a
trifling 105.5: Of this fry,‘ 45.000 here pine-A
ch'in- Butler Brooks, town of New Milford,
Hartford. Of the fry from Me., 50,000 were
placed in Butler Brook, New Milford, 200,-
000 in the Farmington at New Hartford, 30,-
000 in the Shetucket, a tributary Of the
Thames at North IVindhani, 20,000 in a
stream in,thc town of Gildford, running
into Long Island Sound ; 10,000 in Mill river,
Soutliport, and 10,000 in the Saugatuck-rivcr,
WVestport. In 1875, October 16th, were re—
ceived from the California hatching house,
480,000 Eggs. Of these 12,500 were found
dead on their arrival. The loss in hatching
was 17,500, less than four 'per cent., a record
better than that of any other hatching house
in the country. Of these 50,000 were placed
in the Shetucltct, 300,000 iii the FarmingtOn
at New Hartford, and 100,000 in Butler
Brook, a tributary of the Housatonic at New
Milford. In the Spring of 1875, there was
received. from chcc, Me, 15,000 of land
locked. Salmon. These. were successfully
1hatched and placed, 5,000 in Hog Lake, town
of Lyme; 5,000 in Lake Pocatapaug, town
of East Hampton,- 5,000 in Crystal Lake,
town of Eastford. The total number Of Sal-
ni'on Eggs, exclusive of land locked, received
by the association from beginning is 1,365,-
000; thg loss'during-hatching, 68,250. To-
tal number of fry placed in the rivers pf the
State, 1,296,750. The State Fish Commis-
sioncrs are William M. Hudson, M. D.,
Robert Pike, James A. Bill. These express
themselves as satisfied with the quality of the
\Vestport trout associations work, and the
people of the State will eventually see. how
thorough~ the work has been done. The
State itself,*througli its representatives may
also'feel satisfied that its annual appropria-‘
tion of ~$5,000 for fish- purposes, has not been
thrown away. In addition to the above,
hatching has-been done at the. \Valtosian
Club House near Branford, and at a house
near Mystic Bridge, under the direction‘of
Rev. Mr. Clift. The first fry plaCOd in the.
rivers have been heard from. They have
been caught by hook at different points, as
has already been stated in this column.
That the young fish are thriving and destin-
ed to attain a full growth ; and further that
they will return to the waters from wliich'they
started, as do shad witlrcacli succeeding
year, cannot be reasonably doubted; It isI'
known that. years ago, the principle rivers of
the State abo‘unded in Salmon—that they
were more plenty than sliaclz—that, though
for eating. purposes superior to shad, they
had become a drug. In verification" of this
statement it is known that where men placed
their sons at trades the iiidcntures or agree-
ments specified that Salmon should bc.placed
before them to eat only'at certain times each
week, as the fish were so plenty that bosses
took advantage of it to cheapen the matter of
board. All this has been changcdin the
absolute disappearanceof the fish- from our
waters. In order to restore the fish and
enable our people to trade at price less than
50c per portal; the plan of rc-stocking the
rivers by artificial‘powers has been inaugu-
intcda The success thus far achieved war—
rants the bclicf that expectation will be ful—
ly met. I - _

The following from the Democratic Mid-

confession as we remember to have seen in a
Democratic paper during the last ten. or a.
dozen centuries: “Our contemporaries are
engaged in commenting on the Middletown

Democratic votes were 'powerless. Demo-
crats lost the support of. whiskey, .aiid when
that was gone, alas, the party was in a bad

The question whether one Fitzpatrick, an

should runa patent moulding machine for
which the P. d: F. Corbin manufacturing

decided by a prize fight between Fitzpatrick
and a representative of the Corbin company
named O’Brien, which resulted in the victory
for Fitz after‘thrcc-quarters of an hour’s
figiting, and the agreement of the opposition
to let him and his machine alone here-
after.

The Litchfield county i'epsentatives met at
Litchfield again Tuesday, for the purpose of
discussing the jail question. -' About three
quarters of the representatives were present
and after a. pretty thorough discussion of the
subject rcpassed the original resolution ap-
propriating $10,000 for repairing and laying
a tax of four tenths of a mill to meet 'the
expenditure with. Messrs 'A. L. Hodge of
Roxbury, M. D. Frost of New Milford and
T. M. Clarke of W'instead were appointed to
act with the county commissioners as a

Fire was discovered- about one o’clock
Thursday morning in the rag room of the
paper mill known as the Chaplin paper com-
pany (now operated by Messrs. Warren [85
Howard) situated at Chaplin, consuming the
entire building with all the machinery, in-
'cluding an eighty power steam engine of
Corliss make. The mill had been running
only a few weeks and was makine bank note
paper. - It was running night and day in_ or-
der to fill orders. Some eight or ten tons of
paper were burned. About thirty hands
are thrown out of employment. This .is the

The Hartford Times enthusiastically rc-
marks that Ben Hill’s speech “was in the
expression of true Union sentiments, in ex;
cellent taste and spirit.” The Bridgeport
Farm- is still more delighted with an ora-
tion ‘which it hopes every republican in' the
land will read. It further remarks that “it
is convincing as to the real responsibility for
Andersonvillc,” and that “ the debate on the
amnesty bill might well have been concluded
with the conclusion of Mr. I'Illl’S' speech.”
The Farmer may be assured that the repub—
licans will read the speech, but we hardly
think the democrats will circulate it as a
campaign document; or that they will invite
Mr. Hill to repeat his efforts in Conn'ecticut.
