The usual monotony of this quiet place was
quite seriously disturbed by the report of a.
shootillg affray. It appears that one of our
policemen got into an altercation with his
wife; and during the melee a pistol ill her
handsvas discharged and the ball entered
her abdomen, Medical assistrfice was suin-
llloned, alld Dr. Bennett of Danbiiry, probed

counts was improving. _

The monthly loncert at the Congregational
church, last Sunday evening, was of a varied
character mid ilnusllally interesting. Ques-
tions were asked by the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Bell, respecting the progress of Christianity
in India, which were answered by alarge part
of the congregation from slips of paper pre-
pared for the occasion by the pastor.
Dr.‘Busll, of N. Y. City, is announecd to

-The special town meeting called to act upon
the question of a new school house, drew to-
gether nearly all the tax payers in town, on
Saturday last. A report was read by the
chairman of a committee appointed at. the last
annual town meeting, who were to meet and
consult with the school visitors in Selecting a
'site, ascertaining the cost of erecting such a
building, and also the cost per annum to the
town to support it. The said chairman stated
that three sites had been chosen; the cost of
building such a house as is needed was esti—
mated at $5,000, and the cost per annnuin to
support it about $1,700. The number of
children in town attending school was thought
to be about 400. Immediately after the re-
port was read and accepted, that tricky mo-
tion of adjourning before any business had
been done, was again made, and carried in
part, by a clique who have always opposed
any public improvement, especially in the
way of good schools. There is a flute for
everything, and now (we think) is the time
to build our so much needed Union. school,
as we understand the town is free from debt
and has money in the treasury. The meeting
had been adjourned only a few moments when
a petition for another meeting was drawn up
by a friend to educzltion, and soon had its re-
quired number of signers. Keep the ball
rolling, the good time is comillg and we hope
not far off. JACK PLAIN.
GREENWICII.
Some of the relatives of Richard Burns,
who died in Norwalk and was buried ill
Greenwich, made application to Judge
Mason to have an inquest held, tllcy believing
that the deceased came to his death by foul
means, the death having been sudden, &c.
The Judge, after proper examination, at
first declined, bilt finally upon a formal pe-
tition numerously signed, granted the request.
The inquest was held, Drs. Mead and Jones
making the examination. Nothing was
discovered bllt a slight abrasion over the eye,
a scratch on the top of the head and one or
two on the calf of the leg. There Wis no
indication of poison and the Doctors testi-
fied that it was their opinion that 'Ilc died a
natural death. Probably all apoplectic stroke
overtook him while seated in his chair and
he fell causing the slight bruises on his head.
The testimony of the brother and sons of
deceased was Iweak and indeed the whole
proceeding was extremely absurd. The in-
quest was adjourned for one week and the
remains reburied. The result can be readily
conjectured.

way between the village and the depot, for
the object of organizing a company and
taking pleasurs looking to the immediate
copstruction of the road. Under the pro-
visions of the General Railroad Law, $10,000
for each mile of proposed road must be sub-
scribed before definite action can be taking,
int the list as it appeared Saturday, showed
that nearly all the aharcs had been taken.

made themselves interested, it is safe to as-
sure the public that cheap, rapid, and very
desirable transit between the points as above
is certain soon to be realized. The rails have
been cont-raged for, and a gentleman experi-
enCed in lumber matters will select from the
best Southern pine the lumber on which the
rails are to be placed. When Spring fairly
opens the work of construction probably will
begin, and before the apple trees are in bloom

ed and hoped for years will have been reached.

want to hitch up a horse for that purpose, be

iug the barrier which has so long been a

to this place removed, city people seeking
one of the , _, desirable localities in sum-
mer, will 11 orth have satisfaction, along
with the “folks at home” who are to receive

The great ev’cnt of last week was, the meet-
ing of the Congregational Church Ladies’
Mite Society, at the residence of D. D. Coley,
Esq.
Indeed it was the event and in all re-
spects a very brilliant affair, attended by from
eighty to ninety people. There Wtis universal
enjoyment. The fair Officers of the Society
were all present; its energetic and efficient
President, Mrs. Turncy, the ever active Vice
President, Mrs. Jarvis, the accomplished Sec-
retary, Mrs. Porter, and the-amiable Treas-
urer, Mrs. Sarah Bradley. From the evident
interest taken in its meetiugé and the pleasant
and harmonious feeling which seems to pre-
vail,thcrc is every reason to hope that the im-
mediate objcct of procuring a new commun-
ion sct will speedily be accomplished.
The residence of Mr. Coley has b'een beau-
tified and painted very tastefully, both inside
and outside, with great liberality, and to make
the meeting at his residence in every sense a
success, Mr. Coley procured a handsome par-
lor organ from the store of Mr. Potter, in
Norwalk. There was some choice singing
performed ill a most artistic style by Mrs. N.
Austin of \Veston, and Miss Mary Nich-
ols of \Vilton. '

Letters from the People.
BROOKLYN, March 3d, 1876.
Dim: GAZETTE :———I thank you for bringing
forward an old friend of early days,“ The
Taxation of North America." I Often heard
it sung and recited during the first decade of
ill: present century, and once had a copy in
manuscript, and I always understood that its
author was Bela Strong.- Peter St. John the
great-grandfather of Capt. C. Cook St.JohIl
wrote many poetical effusions, a sample of
which may be found in Barber's Conn. Ills-
torical Collections, under the head of Darien,
but I think he never wrote anything compar-
ble to the “Liberty Song” by Bela Strong.
‘ Yours Truly, N A’l‘IIAN CAMP.
MI-zssus. Eiil'rons:
Your publication of “some lines com-
posed One hliudrcd years ago by Peter St.
John,” call to my mind some other lines,
composed by him in times long ago, but
upon a quite different subject. I must,
premise that "ch1 Peter wrote Ballads—
llad them printed iI§Danbury and peddled
them about the country ; also, composed im-
promptu poetry and was very fond, of his
toddy. ‘
Once upona time he went into a church
in which the “W’esteru Consociation of
Connecticut.” was in sessim, discussing the
merits of a Theological work then just pub-
lished. .
When the members had retired for dinnor
“Uncle Peter" composed the'following leav-
ing it upon the clerks table.
,If all things succeed that’s already decreed,
By the immutable power that rules us, ,
To preach and to prey is time thrown away,
Our teachers do nothing but fool us.
If we are driven by fate either this way or
that '
As the carman whips up his horses ;.
No one can stray, all go the right way,
As the stars that are bound in their courses.

“ Uncle Peter" when traveling used to beg,
his meals, or buy them with poetry. Be-
tween Wilton and Danbury he frequently
called for a meal on ‘_‘Aunt Sarah,” some-
times she was in good and sometimes in bad
humor, upon this occasionshe was washing,
and had no dinner; Uncle Peter urged her to
get him some, she refused until he promised
to compose an Epitaph for her tombstone,
one-half before, the other half after eating.
This turned her sour to sweet and the sweet
grew sweeter as he pathetically exclaimed,
“Herc lies good old Sarah,”
Who ‘of late ascended up‘to Heaven’s gate."
After finishing a good dinner, with staff
and pack in hand, his two dogs at his side
and he was bout leaving, she demanded the
remainder of the Epitaph. '
“But there stood an Angel with a club
‘Td knocked her back to Beelzebub.”
e scene was closed with a pretty free use
of the broom-stick.
Wednesday the price Of gas in New York,
below Thirty-fourth street was reduced from
$2.75 to $2.50 per thousand feet. a very
considerable reduction, for which they owe
thanks, not to the gas monopolies concerned,
but to.Kiug Kerosene, who, with his modern
improvements, is becoming master of the
situation.

nounce that from the lst inst. the price of gas-

HOW Centennial Matters Stand.
PHILADELPHIA, March 4th, 1876.
Only nine weeks remain before the opening
of the Centennial, the event promising to be
more really indescribable than any other affair
that ‘-‘ pen painters" have had to handle.
It would be a question, difficult to answer,
when,"how or where newspaper reporters are
going to begin their almost impossible task of
giving anything like a correct or comprehen-
sive idea of the countless masses of men and
things, grouped so densely, yet artistically,
crowded into twenty-one acres of space alone
in the nlnin building, which in itself, is a
wonder and curiosity that it would be impos-
sible to describe with any idea of doing it
justice. ’ ' ‘
J udging from the grounds and buildings at
the present time, I should say from the won.-
‘derful energy displayed in the whole under-
taking, therc will be no lagging in the prepa-
rations when the day is here for the musical
thunder of Thomas’ Centennial Orchestra and
the oration of the great Curtis, to be read af-
terwards, for probably not one-tenth of the
assembled gathering can or will even hear his
voice ; as for thesunnained poet, it will be
only a favored few who will hear or at least
be able to judge of his merits as they listen
to Uni.
The grounds are being everywhere graded
and cleared of the great piles of unsightly
rubbish that has lately encumbered them.
The avenues and walks will soon be cleared
of the yellow clay and dirt, characteristic of
the soil, and they will soon have the clean
look of the dark Asphaltum pavement, so fa-
miliar to us all. .
Last Tuesday being a sort of general holi-
day, we took a rapid survey of the buildings
and grounds, but there was no appearance of
a holiday in the work in and around the
buildings. The main building and machinery
hafi are about- completed with the‘exceptiou
of the ornamental painting. I will not try to
give you any idea. of the magnitude and
grandeur of the main building, for I confess
I am not capable of even beginning such a
task. I will only say it looks at present like
a beautiful wilderness. Standing at one end
the tallest editor of the GAZETTE at the other
would appear in size more like the smallest
‘ devil'_ he ever had in his office, than himself.
There are no goods as yet placed in position,
altfimgh many are on hand, and more of for-
eign than domestic. Europe is way ahead of
us in regard to promptuess in her exhibits.
Machinery Hall is probably at. present the
busiest of all—goods coming in large quan'
tities every day from all quarters of the
world. Here as well as in the main building
the foreign exhibitors are prompter than our—
selves. It is the general opinion that the
Americans will be the last on hand, waiflhg
till the last day of grace, and then making a
grand rush characteristic of themselves—do—
ing eyerythiug in a day.
But there is one spot on the grounds tlla
will suggest Eden if any part of earth can,
and that is the Horticultural Hall and grounds.
It is indescribably beautiful in location, con-
ception, architectural design and grand work-
manship. The effect is fairly fascinating
from the moment you enter till youoeluctant-
1y leafis Already it has a grand, rare and
beautiful collection of the choicest plants and
fruit trees. The lemons look like small sum-

As mentioned before, Machinery Hall pre-
sents the busiest appearance. Foundations
of all kinds {Ire being laid for the various in-
dustries of the world. Conspicuous'mnybe
seen rising slowly the elegant engines of the
Corliss Steam Engine 00., of Providence, R.
I., which are to furnish the motivepower for
the building. Mr. Corliss puts these engines
up at his own expense, furnishing boilers and
the style of the old Cornish pumping engine,
but with all the improvements peculiar to the
Corliss Engine. It consists Of two vertical
cylinders, 40 inches in diameter, 120 inches
stroke, working pressure will be about 70
pounds per square inch, developing abOut
2000 horse power when worked up to its, full
capacity, and as a specimen of workmanship,
it will probably final if not excel. anything
of the kind in this county—which means in
the 'world.
There will be a. grand display. of fire en-
gines. Already therp is on hand a. beautiful
specimen from the Silisby Manufacturing Co.
of Seneca Falls, N. Y. It is of what is,
styled the rotary pump engine, and as a spec-
lmen of workmanship and good design is
ahead of anything I ever saw. It is nearly
all nickel-plated and burnished to perfeétiou.
It is placed not only for exhibition but also
for the use of the commission. Still for actual
service, or even for a trial exhibition, we
would take our old thnix in the days of
her glory. , '
Matters are as busy outside the exhibition
buildings as anywhere else. Cropping up are
the various buildings of the difierent foreign
countries, as well as our own states. Con-
spicuous among them are the English Com-
missioners. There are three of them in num-
ber, of the pattern of the 16th century, and
are built strong, enough to last for centuries
to come, being? almost entirely of brick,
stone and cement. The little panes of glass
about 4x5, are a curiosity. We understand
chase them for some purpose; it. would be a
good purchaseif only a token of good will to-
ward the-mother country, on this great occa-
sion. ‘
It is really a curiosity to see the ans put-
ting up their building ; we had heard of their
workmanship before, but now we see it, and
peuters of Norwalk wants to make a fortune,
during these dull times, he had better g6 to
Japan and go to house building, for I actual-
ly think that two of our workmen can do
more than six of the representative architects
of Japan. ‘Whé‘n they use their plane they
saw in the. same manne‘ if the instrument
used may be‘mlled a saw. Their saws are all
the way from four to ten inches Only.
The Connecticut building is getting on very
well now and will probably be finished in
from four to six weeks, and will present a
very pleasing appearance. Meanwhile our
Commissioners and Gen. Hawley are as busy
as bees, looking out for the interests of the
State, and the general success of the exhibi-
tion. J. C.

W hen the physical energies are overtnsked,or flag
through weakness or disease, they need prompt
reinforcement. Renewed vigor is most speedily
supplied through the medium of' a tonic stimulant
and among medicinal resources of that class.
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters assuredly dezerve a
prominent place. Weakness, whether constitu-
tional or arising from disease or over fatigue, can-
not be better compensated for than by resort to
this prime strengthening cordial. The enfeebled
invalid. the convalescent. and the aged and infirm
find that it is ,un unfalllng source of“ vigor and
comfort. Its combined tonic and alterative prop-
‘ ertlea also constitute if: an invaluable remedy for
indigestion. weakness of‘ the organs Of‘ urination,
constipation, torpidity of the liver, and many oth-

Invaluable promotion against malaria, as well an
