A singular scene took' place in the burying
ground on Second avenue last Monday after-
noon. The remains of Richafd Burns had
been brought from Norwalk for burial, and
the coffin placed in the box which was about
to be lowered in the grave, when his daugh-
ter set up an unearthly yell, declaring the man
had been murdered and should not be buried.
The undertaker in charge said he had brought
the corpse all the ivayirom Norwalk With the
intention of burying it, and he proposed to
obey orders and complete the job. 'At' this
the woman became hysterical, one or two
other women joining in the chorus, which
could be distinctly heard as far off as Dr.
Pcck’s. There Was considerable excitement
for a few minutes, but the box was at last
laced in the grave which was partly filled.
t is reported that Burns was found dead on
the floor of his house with a hole in his head,
and that he had lain several days before he
was discovered. There are numerous other
rumorsconcerning the affair, one being that
.he had sold his property and lately received
$750 in casll. The grave remains half-filled,
and a postmortem is talked of.—Portfl0}tester

The Concert Hall casc,whie1l bids fair to be-
come as celebrated inthis locality as ‘ ‘J arndyce

last Wednesday, before the commission .ap-
pointed last fall by Judge Culver, of the
Conn'no'n Pleas Court, consisting of Messrs.
Eli-Judge Phelps, Stephen Smith, of Nor—
walk, and James C. Silliman, of Cheshire.
The lawyers engaged for the respective par-
ties were present, ready to go on with the
case. . _ ' . .
At the opening of the case it was stated
that irregularities had been discovered in the
proceedings and the presiding Judge advised
that the case be discontinued. There is at
present a petition pending, and has been
since last July, before the Superior Court,
praying fora commission of disinterested
parties to assess the benefits and damages
which would accrue by the removal of the
building known as Concert Hall, which as-
sessments shall be binding. If this petition
is granted, and the commission appointed, it
will probably close all litigation and end for-
ever this much-talked-of case.

WESTPORT. -
_ The 144th birthday anniversary of the
"‘Father df‘llis Country,” was not celebrated
here by public demonstration, but the event
was in nowise forgotten. The district schools

joy a day of recreation. No discount could

in the village, unbroken during day ex-
cept by a fox chase gotten up by l r.~Charles
La Croix. The fox was let loose at one

Some weeks, would not run, and became an
easy prey to the blood-thirsty curs. A light
fall of snow under the influence of warm sun-
shine made locomotion 'in the streets unde-
sirable, and sensible people made it an object
to keep within doors.
A good time now to hang around saw-mills

Some of those who readthc item in this
column recently relative to ice taken from
Nash’s Mill pond, were made to catch the
idea that said ice while melting would be
productive of malarial effects akin to those
which many fancied rose from the water in
its natural state last summer. Such on sec-
,ond sober thought may .see that, the very
process of freezing neutralizes said effects,
and that. the ice itself must be as pure as
that taken from the far off Artie regions.
Just as the politically inclined began
last week to warm up in State and other con-
ventions, “Old Prob" ordered a coolness,
which, by contrast, was not calcuatcd to
win the hearts of believers in, the abSolute
eilicacy of means to ends.
Last week was a week of funerals. On
Tuesday the remains of the venerable Eli
Brotherton, a pensioner of the war of 1812,
were buried ill the ancient .ccmctry near
Green’s Farms Congregational church. Same
day, and in the same ground were buried the
remains of the late Peter Lewis. Wednesday,
occurred tlle funeral and burial of the late F.
D. Fanton, and at noon-the remains of Mr.
Edward Cu'ddy, of New York, son-in-law of
Mr. Francis NV. J csup, were deposited in
Jcsup plot ill the Evergreen cemetery.
Too much credit cannot be given Mr.
Charles La Croix-for the interest taken by
him in not only securing public lamps for the
village bridge, but for means used at his own
expense in keeping said lamps lighted. The
recent item ill this column, which stated that
t lamps on a certain night were not lighted
131101: intended in any sense as a reflection
on Mr. L. The fault should have been laid
at the door of old “Boreas," who-blew_“high
and low, round and round every house and
peeked in every crack." _
.It is said by one well versed ,in railroad
laws, that the friends of the proposed horse
railway between the village and thei'gdepot,
may proceed to lay their tracks without' first
applying to the Legislature for a charter.
If this be true, it may not make the public
feel (1 to have the GAZETTE state that, a
V general railroad law has beauties; that the
iron for said railroad has been contracted for,
and that earlier than was supposed the peo-
ple will have a chance to ride in comfort, ' at
good speed between the points named, at 10
cents a trip.
Mr. J no. N. Betts now has chances in his
favor of filling his large ice‘house.
Mr. Hiram F. Taylor, son of John Warren
Taylor of this place furnished two relics for
exhibition at the Martha Washington aTea
Party in New York last week, as follows:
A silver watch, owned and carried by Gov-
ernor Fitch, once a resident of Norwalk ; a
deed of land in what is now known as the
last portion of \Vestport, bearing the genuine
signature of King Charles II., of England:
CENTENNIAL NEW ENGLAND SUPPER.
This event, for which great preparations
had been made, took place Thursday night,
at National Hall, instead of Tuesday night,
22d, and proved in all respects an' entertain-
ment pleasing and enjoyable. The hall was
so draped and decorated as to carry the mind
back to the period which 144 years ago gave to
theworld one, who was in truth to be “ First
in the hearts of his countrymen.” A fine
portrait of Washington occupied a central po-
sition over the stage at the end of the hall.
Natural flowers of richest ,hues ' and most
charming fragrance helped the senses to a
more perfect appreciation of the event, and
good music, supplemented by a cuisine inex-
haustible, completed all that could be desired
in the way of personal satisfaction. Fancy
white centennial caps worn by those officia-
ting at the tables, served, for the time being,
to transform very good-looking young ladies
into elegant, matronly old ladies. These,
through powdered hair, and by conduct and
conversation suggestive of another age, car-
.ried the company with them in the double
object of securing profitand pleasure. The
band,.under the leadelslifii of Capt. W. S.
Guyer, performed the rarest ancient melodies
in their repertoire, and the choir, most of
whom were in costume of “ Ye olden time,”
sang “ Ode on Science,"—“ Strike the Gym-
bal," and “ Auld Lang Sync,” and they sang
well. There was a recitation in dialogue by
two young ladies in costume, which was good
enough to have been repeated. The company
in attendance was large, respectable and intel-
ligent. Among the ladies who wore notice-
able, rich ancestral costumes wcre, Miss Ab-
,bey Cleveland, Mrs.‘ Ambnose S. Hurlbntt,
and Mrs. Charles H. Taylor. By far the
most interesting feature of the evening was
the relics, a' hundred, two hundred, and some
of them more than three hundred years old,
kindly loaned by citizens, as follows :—By

The death of. Fillmore .Dwight Fanton,
which occurred Sunday evening, Feb. 20th,
and which was briefly referred to last Week,
is'onc calculated by its suddeness to impress
this- community with the uncertainty of
all things human. When a man apparently
ill perfect health, engaged in active business,
mingling with his fellows, full of hope, with
prOspects for the future flattering, happy and
making otllefs llbout him happy, is suddenly,
with scarcebpny warning called to take his
departure, as was the case in this instance,
the picture with its awful weight of meaning
teaches a lesson which may,—which can
never be forgotten. Inthis death 'a blank is
made inWestport,which cannot easily be filled.
But a short period a resident here, thé de-
ceased had yet been with .us long, enough to
impress all with the beauty of his character.

Nothing could have] been more unexpeo .
to this community than to see this face m the
cofiin, so suddenly and so soon; and noyoung
man in the town, of Westport, I venture. to
affirm, (and this crOwded house in my confir-
mation,) could have been smitten down, and
caused so much thoughtfulness in so many
minds, and could have brought a sense of
sadness and personal bereavement to so many
hearts. Thouh a comparative stranger here,
he had won his way to the love and friend-
ship of many, and to the esteem 'and confi-
dence of all; so that 'not only along our
streets are seen tokens of respect, and over
our doors are suspended badges of woe, but
over the entrance to every heart are the in-
visible words, “ We mourn our loss."
Well, therefore, may this stricken widowed
one, cry out from her bleeding heart, and
these sorely bereaved parents and brothers
and sisters, call upon us all, to mourn and to
condole with them, in this day of their ca-
lamity. and to say to us, “All ya that are
about him, bemoan him, and all ya that know
his name, say, ‘How is the strong staff broken
and, the beautiful 1- ’ ”
Our departed friend and brother, may not
have been as physimlly strong assomu others,
but he was strong in the grace that in in
Christ J cans, and he exhibited a rare assem-
blage of all that was winning and lovely.
Nature enowed him with an attractive per-
son and amiable manners, and grace made '
him a living temple to the Lord. But though
he had been as strong as a cedar in Lebanon,
beautiful as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, and
precious asthe rod of God's strength. that
goes out of Zion, he must have fallen when
struck by the destroyer’s axe. And though
we, in the anguish of our soul, should have
cried out, “ O Woodman, spare that free,”
yet the Divine Proprietor, seeing that it was
suited to his purpose, had marked it as, his
own, and it fell before our eyes, in all the ful-
nessof its strength, with all its charming fo-
iil‘llge, and blossoming promises and blessed
‘t 1
“ It is appointed unto all men, once to die."
And. though a man may occupy the most fa-
vored position, though around him run clus-
ter a host Of admirers and affectionate 'ends
though their love for him may be like the
love of Jonathan for David, though his excel-
lencies may be acknowledged by all, and
though to human eye, no one is left to supply
his place, yet he must: fall at the appointed
season. And often in the prime of manhood,
and in the zenith of expectation, and in
the flower of usefulness, men are removed
from the scene of their labors. We might
have thought that the Lordof the vineyard
would spare the most useful trees and prolong
their service to the world. We should have
judged that he would diyct the mysterious
messenger to set his mark first upon the use-.
less anbbaneful members of society—special.
ly commanding that the beautiful, fruitful,
beneficial lives should be preserved to a ripe
old age. But: Heaven's government is not
like ours; God’s thoughts are not our
thoughts, and his ways are not our ways.
'Hence we not unfrequently'witness with sor-
row, the departure from earth of men‘ in
the very noonday of life and service. .
We-do not forget the illustrious king of
Israel, good Josiah, who died at thirt mine.
We remember the names of Pascal undySp‘en.
car. and Mtheney and Henry Martin, and
Alfred Vaughan and Alfred Cookmuu and
Dudley Ting, with many, many others, whom
you can all recall, who were felled by the
King of terrors, just when according to hu-
man judgment, they were indispensable, just
when their enthusiastic hopes were being re-
alized, and when they had reached positions
in which the good they could effect would be
incaleulable. 0h who can tell, when or where
or how the fatal stroke will be given, but we
are assured it must come, and ask with the
royal' singer, “ What man is he that livelh
and shall not see death F” and we ought ear-
nestly to ask for genes, that we may give good
heed now, to the Saviour-Ts words, “Be ye also
ready.” '
When, however, 0 tree of God’s Own plant-
ing falls, whether early or late in life, mourn-
ing may be expected. The weapon that strikes
down our dear ones necessarily wounds us.
But when the sweetest and rarest plant in our
garden is ruthlouly torn up, then, what a
desert does the guarded enclosure become !
When the brightest star in‘our hemisphere is
quenched, then what dread darkness prevailslw
No marvel then that there is unusual lament
ation. And blessed be, God. He has regard
to our natural sensibilities. Under the shad-
owy dispensation of' the Old Testament, mu-
tual sympathy, public mourning. and private
grief, were sacred before the Lord. The in-
spired with the most touching pathos, as-
sociates acob‘s lumentation with Ephaath,
Rachel’s tears with Ramah, David’s woes with
the mountains of Gilboa, and the silent sad-
nessof the tribes of Israel with the willows
of Bablyon. Feelings thus sanctioned by the
Old Testament are not scorned by the
New. The tears which the law cmbalmed,
the Gospel does not banish. J esus, our Divine
Pattern, wept. His tears fell fast by the
grave of Lazarus, and we are not denied the
priVllege of weeping with those who weep, or
mourning over our own per'sonnl or collective;
losses. Such sympathetic moderated sorrow
- tends to soften the heart and fit us for the
impressions and lessons of this hour, as we
bend over this strong staff broken, and this
beautiful rod laid low. 7°
Amidthese' falling tear-drops let us than
behold the bow of promise, the silver lining
to the cloud, the golden halo which throw its
mantle over our departed friend, and we shall
feel that we ought not to mourn as those with-
out hope. ‘
Our departed Brother early gave his heart
to God, connected himself with his people
in the Methodist church when only thirteen
years of age, and turned his back upon the
pleasures of the world. His religious career
as been oxemplary. Wherever he went he

as the beloved desciple John, reclining upon
the' bosom of Jesus. His pleasant face, his
unassuming demeanor, his genial manners,
his upright conduct, and consistent, devoted
fiiety, was his letter of recommendation.
nown and read of all men that he was a
follower of the Lamb .
And; let; none of those with whom be
associated in business} or who met him in the
fire Company, or in the social circle, or ever
visited him in his own happy, but alas short-
lived home, evér permit themselves to think,
that religion was _“ designed to make our
pleasures less”. Learn from the exemplifies-
tion that it had in him, that it is a gladsome,
happy, joyous reality. He spent more
than half of his short life in the professed ser-~
vice.qf hi‘aviour, and who among you ever
doubled his happiness? And you needed'no
dying testimony from his lips to assilre you
that he. had. ,gognmitted himself to J cans, was
iai‘ohild'of Cell, and was going-home to glory.
For your ”cake,f'0r the sake of all the young
meu‘of; NVestpog'lt.‘ I. mourn with you, his loss
today- He noted as a. magnet to draw you
from evil and to attract you to Jesus. At
gthis particular crisis, he stood as a. sentinel to
m you of the dangers that were increasing

About three weeks since, I met this dear
brother in the street, and taking me by the
hand, and grasped it firmly, and with an ear-
nest look, ho said: “I am sorry, very sorry
you are thinking of leaving Westport.” Af-
ter a few words, I replied, “ Well, you are so
near heaven you do not need .me here any
longer.” He is there now. He has been sing-
ing there while we have been weeping here.
Are all who have come to bid his precious
dust farewell, prepared to join him before the
throne? Your death hour will soon come. It
may come at the most: unexpected moment.
, When you are most busy. When you think
you can be the least spared. I cannot tell
whether that hour will be in the morning or
at sundown, at mid-day or at noon of night.
But: I think some of you are my likely to die
before another week. Standing before some,
who shall soon be launched in the great eter-
nity, I am overwhelmed at the thought, and
Isa to you as I say
I! firmit‘isli”. . , .
Some of us part, never meet again. Sab-

der pew, ‘in all the freshness and, vigor of: his
manhood, and liltened to a discourse from
the words, “Who then is willing to consecraté
,his service this day unto the Lord ?” and he
heard the gospel then for~ the last- time. '
Blessed be God, he had for years been 0.
consecration to the Lord. And these cold,

suggests the following platform for the occa-

Admit that a man who fought for the Union
is just. as goodasa rebel. 4. Stop crying about

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. is the origin of the’great majority of diseas-
es. Reinforce the vital energies, regulate diges-
tion and secretion, by strengthening the organs
which perform” those all-important functions. and
dyspepsia, constipation, kidney and bladder com-
and the thousand and one ailments which are the
consequences of dcbility, are completely, and in
most; cases permanently, remove . The best, saf-
est and most: agreeable tonic an alterative that
