of what might have been a duel; During the
Splendid skating season on Mr. Walmsly’s
pond, a certain gentleman engaged the com-
llfm)’ of a lady at. a skating party. All went
merr ' as a marriage bell until about to start
for home, when up steps a gentleman who rc-
sidcs in Brooklyn, and takes hold of the
young lady’s arm and off they go. Gentle-
lnan number one wants to know how many
the young lady wants to escort her home.
She answers only one. But the gentleman‘
from Brooklyn holds on and escorts the lady
to her Ironic. Gentleman number one fol-
lows after threatening pistols, swords, bowie
knives, etc. We may have a Ease for the cor-
oner, soon. ' ‘

The building of “tramp houses" in Nor-

knights of the turnpike to visit those adja-

where they can work for" their bread and

gentry are so much in excess of the average

of lmilding a tramp-house and lock-up com-

During the night of the 19111 inst, the store
[If Benjamin Griffin, Esq, was broken open
and robbed of goods consisting of boots, ready
made clothing, prints, muslin, cigars, etc.
Tracks were found supposed to be made by
the rubber boots stolen, as the thieves left a
pair of brogans much worn, in the store.
Pursuit was immediately made by members
of the Anti-Thieving Association. ’ ‘hey were
overtaken near the New Fail-field cemetery,
having just emerged from Wm. - Turrell’s
barn where they had discarded their old .
clothes for their new outfit. They barely es;
caped capture by throwing down their plan—

lost to view by the dense growth of trees and
bushes. They were afterwards seen at differ-

under adverse circumstances during the week.
The weather, mild beyond precedent, has
continued so with little variation, and we

One or two inaccuracies in a recent article
in tllis‘column, relative to the \Vashington
bowl now in posession of Mr. A. S. Hurl-
butt, have been the means of inducing in-
quiry as to tile method by which Mr. II.
was enabled to trace the history of the relic.
As any and all matters to our country’s
early struggle for independence arc of spec-
ial interest during this Centennial year, the
following additional facts gained from a
source that can.be relied on, as trust Worthy,
are given. The house which Gent-2:11 Wash-
ington visited about the year 780, ,stood
near the-site of the house now occupied by
Mr. F. D. ‘viarvin. It was one of those old
fashioned houses \vhose interior space was
largely. devoted to chimney, having a wood-
en l'ram large enough'to make four frames of
its size as are now built. It. (was kept by its
owner, Osias Marvin grandfather of Mr.
David M. Marvin, as film, and with the
exceptiouof the lloase where the late Uriah
Taylor lived, and which was pulled down
some twenty years ago, was the only .public
house at that time, in, this, neighborhood.
Osias Marvin was 'a'Cplonel'in themilita of the.
thcncolony of Connecticut, and renderedhis
country goal service. He was present when
the towns 'of Daubury and Ilidgefield were
burned by tin British, and it is believed was-
alsoprosent-at the burning of" Norwalk. In
those days every housewife in good circum-
stances possessed a set 'of’ china dishes to be
used on State occasions, or when compa:.y
came. I, was properly “set out”_un—
less she had a set of china, Mrs. Marvin was
not an exception to the. rule. On an opens-ion
of on} of ‘.\-'.-lshing1.:iu’s journeys through
thesa- par; :‘i 1 the prosecution of his duty as
commander 1.1 chief of the army, he sent
wo‘rdthat he “1.1.0.1 stop at Col. Marvin’s
tavern, naming the day and hour. Learning
that so distinguished a .personage was com-
ing, Mrs Marvin, who, enjoyed'the rcpt: ation
of being an excellent landhnly, was,‘ of"
course, in a pleasant. state of excitement: as
to how she. could best entertain her guest.
It took but . short time for -hcr to complete
arrangements. Prox‘nptly at the very mo-
ment speciliesl, the General and his retina:
arrived, and were shown to their apartments.
Late they were ushered into what in these
days’wonld be accounted a weak apology for
a (lining room, where they seated them-
selves and partook of the fare Mrs. Marvin
had provided. They all ate heartilyexccpt
Washington, who declared he- was not fee -
ing well, and with the permission of his
hostess would 'take a bowl of bread and
mi 1:, instead of the meats so temptingly
placed before him. Of course his request
was granted. ‘he bowl from which he
then ate is the identical one now held by Mr.
IIurlbutt. Col. Marvin died in 1807. Ills
widow survived him but a short time. At
her death a distribution of her. effects was
made, some. one of her daughters taking the
china set ill-question. The children of these
daughters in turn look the set, or portions of
it, and they transmitted the same to their
daughters, and soon, until recently as the
country’s Centennial approached it Was found
that the old bowl, being a Souvenir of that
f'aroff period, had value, by association as
Its whereabouts was dis-
covered, and its movements through the
generations from one family to another were
traced with such accuracy, that now its
identity is so fullyand completely established
that its present owner, w uld not part with
his treas'. re for its weight in gold.

After"that'widening and grading which tax-
payers had to shoulder to the tune of some
$13,000; and after the application of that
top dressimr of gravel which was to do _so
much towards relieving the public of the
trouble now complained of, it is a question
whether the old conditions were not. better,
all things considered, than the new.
,The thoughts of local politicians of both
parties are turned. in the direction of the
State conventions, and it transpires that pret-
tj much every man has a desire to be appoi ntcd

which, under the constitution as amended,
will hereafter be done in the fall instead of
spring. It is hoped that thc_I’.epul.)licans
-will select men who will properly represent
the party.
Dmn Suddenly, at his residence, Saturday
evening, January 22d, 1876. Frederick
Kcmpcr, in the 57th year of his ago. Mr.
Kcmpcr was well known to our citizens, hav-
ing resided among thcln for a number of
years. As proprietor of a public market he
had acquired high reputation for fair and
square dealing in all business transactions.
A lameness with which he had long been
atllicted prevented his moving from place to
place, and he was seldom seen except at his
counter or on the' way to and from his dwel-
ling. In this vicwgnauy of those who had
adjudged him a nian of peculiarities, have
learned that he possessed a kind heart, and
ever ready to do the thing that was right.
Mr. Kemper, earlylnlifc followed the sea.
As a mariner" he;llad’ visited nearly every
climc, was familiar by actual observation
with much that pertained to them, and he
never wearied of telling 'of his experiences
while sailing on the Spanish Main, or among
the islands of Oceanica, and the Indian
Ocean. The funeral, Was held at
Memorial church, Tuesday, Rev. Mr. Lewis,
officiating. The remains were interred in
Evergreen Cemetery.

account of inclement weather,‘ for which
this column is not responsible) amply com-

ration and decay of many interior. towns in
the State, including ll’estport to the'intro-
duction of railroads which changed the chau-
ncls of trade, and enabled the youth to cm-
igrate: Among the needs of the town were,—
a graded school, a public library andrcading
room, and a historical society. The town
lacked in public, enterprise and sentiment,
and its morals were at a much lower rude
than they were fifty years ago.

View of. th - ,l I 1 )zlaeelnent previously made

preach his farewell sermon: During his re-
marks which were forcible and eloquent, the
Dpclor referred to his work as pastor for
three years among this pcoplc.,—t0 the friend-
ship formed, and thergood it had been his
endeavor always to accomplish. Many were
perceptibl y affected. At the close he refer-
red to the fact that his resignation had been
endered, but for satisfactory reasons the
same had been re-considered, and that t'or the
present his determination to resign would be
held iu-abcyance. The benediction was then
pronounced. A large circle of personal
friends will rejoice at this turn of affairs.

Rational Medication.
Medication IS only successful when it is rational
and it is rational only when it begins at the begin-
ning. In other words, to cure a malady. its cause
must be removed. Weakness, either general or
local. ls the origin of the grpatmajority of‘diseas-
es. Reinforce the vital energies. regulate diges-
tion and secretion, by strengthening the organs
which perform those all-important functions, and
dyspepsra, copstlpation, kidney and bladder com-
plaints, uterine dilllculties, impure circulation,
and the thousand and one ailments which are the
consequences of“ debility, are completely, and in
most cases permanently, removed. The best, sut-

benefit. It will extract the poison from bites
and slings. and will cure burns and scalds
without a scar. The following is but a sample 01 .
a thou-and similar testimonials:
“Aa'rlocll.1l.l.., Dec. 1. 1871.
“ My wife has, for a. long time. been a. terrible
sufferer from Rheumatism. She has tried many
pbysi us and manyrcniedics. The only-thin};
which has given her relief is thoCcntaul Lini—
ment. 1 am rejoiced to saythat thishas cured'her.
* * * W. H. RING, Postmaster.
It is an indisputable fact that the Centaur Lilli-
ments are performing cures never before or-
f'cclc-d b_' any preparation in existence.—like
Chronic Rheumatism ol' thirty years’ ‘Slflnil-
ing", straightening fingers and joints which have
been still‘ forbi'x years, taking. the soreness from
burns, &c, '
One dollar, or even fifty cents, invested in Cent-
aur Linnnent will be within reach when an acci-
dent occurs, and will do more good than any
amount of money paid f'or medicalattendance.
When physicaus are called they frequently use
this Linimcnt, and of course charge several prices
for it. , ,
The Yellow Chntaur Liniment,
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of
the animal creation. Its effects upon severe cases-
01' Spavih, chcny, Wind-Cull, Big-Head, and
Poll-Evil, are little less than marvelous. .
Messrs. J. McClure x: 00., Draggists. cor;.1«‘.lm
and Front 51s., Cincinnati, 0.. says:
“in our neighborhood a number of teamstcrsare
using the Centaur Linmlent. They pronounce It
superior to anything they have ever used. We sell
as high as four to live dozen bottles per month to
owners 01' horses and mules.”
We have volumes of testimonials describing
0111115 01' Sprains, Kicks, Calls, Poll-Evil, Big-
Head, and even Founders, which are little less
than marvels. No owner of an animal can afford
to be without a bottle ol‘Centaur Liniment, which
any day may prove worth twenty times its cost.
