“-4 Nerwalk Gazette. “Tuesday, Aprilllth, 1876. Fairfleld County Items. ROWAYTON. Mr. Samuel Picket has been very ill at St. Louis, Mo. ' Col. Vincent Colyer, intends making an addition to his summer residence on Content- lnent island, to be completed by May lst. .It is understood, that the difficulty between Mr. R. Griffiths, Mr.‘ Bowen, ’ and Mr. V. Colyer in regard to the roadway, will be amicably settled by a third man. _ Mr. David Fallen, is making a decided improvement in building a picket fence around his lot. The exhibition given by the children of the South Five Mile Riser School District, on Thursday and Friday evenings, was con pietely rendered in every particular under the guidance and instruction of Mr. F. S. Lyon and Miss Bradley, Teachers. The Salutatory, by Hermon Monseil was given with confidence and expression; “Genteel Boarders” was “well done,” “Over the ~ River,” by Miss Fannie Gnider, showed a liking for poetry, and a splendid memory. “Little Gipscy Jane,” by Miss Lillie Van Buskirk, could not have‘ been better ;” “The Five Old Maids," was excellent; “Taking the Census,” was good, Ishowing the way a census man’s patience is tried; “The Flag ‘ ' from the thief who stole a soft of double har- Insuited," by Miss Lizzie Smith; “The One Hoss Shay,” by Freddie Lyon, and “The Curtain Lecture,” by Miss Lizzie Dibble, were all completely given; “The Greatest Plague in Life” and‘we are all teetotallars brought down the hous'e. “Away Down in Maine,” by Miss Cora Horton, was grand indeed, and delighted the people so that she was requested to sing it twice the same evening. _The singing under the guidance of Miss Bradley was g'raiid, showing" a thorough knowledge of music, and an un- limited amount of patience by the teacher. On the whole the exhibition far exceeded the expectation of either the teachers or the friends and relations of the children. The object of the exhibition was to purchase a Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary for the school, which result was accomplished. . NEW CANAAN. Friendship Division, No. 10, s. of T. held a public installation of its ofliecrs on Satur- day evening last. The meeting was held in. the new hall in Benedict’s building. This hall is used by the Masons, Odd Fellows and Sons'of Temperance as their meeting room. It is of good size and is nicely furnished. Two handsome chandeliers of four lamps each adorn the hall and from these the room is well lighted. " F. L. Grumman, G. S., of New Haven, Miss Lizzie M. Johnson, G.

C. install- ed the ofliccrs. After installation the W. P., ——‘—Osborne opened the Division under‘ ‘Good and Welfare" and called upon one and anOth- er of the persons present for short addresses and upon the choir for songs. Mr. Caleb Benedict, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Scofield and ' Mr. Edwin Hoyt, on the part of Friendship Division, and Mr. Benj. Heath, gave short addresses. That all the speeches were in- teresting and well received was proved by the attentive listening and_ the hearty ap- plause given to each. ‘ . The meeting closed at about eleven o’clock and all retumed home expressing themselves well pleased with the evening’s entertain- ment. 1 ‘ »WILTON. . . . Paving stones for paving the - streets of New York City are quarried on the farm of Mr. Abel “'hitlock. The paragraph in our last referring .to Wilton Division should have read Tuesday evenings. A Sunday—school concert was held in the Congregational Church on Sunday afternoon. The exercises consisted of singing, reciting texts from scripture and interesting remarks from the pastor. ' - - The Rev. John G. Davenport will lecture in the Congregational Church, next “rednes- day evening, on the subject of Temperance. Lecture to commence at 7:45 p. nl. From .the well-known ability of the speaker a good lecture may be expected. Admission free. ' The library placed in the depot by the Rev. Mr; Mcrwin seems to be very well apprecim ted by those who have occasion to wait for the trains. , , 2 What has become of the preposed celebriti- tion of the one hundred and fiftieth anniver- sary of the Congregational church ? _ ' Last Wednesday while Mr. Ambrose Lockwood was driving home from the depot seated upon ahigh box, a mischievous boy began pelting him with snow-balls . one of which hitting his horse caused the animal to jump suddenly forward, throwing him from his seat to the ground and slightly wounding his head. Fortunately the reins became entangled in the wheel causing the horse to stop. It seemslremarkable that the result of that boy’s mischief was not mord disastrous. . In producing economical men, Wilton now assumes aprominent position. Two of our: citizens in order to save one cent, erased the cancellation ink and address from a postal card which they had received and pasting a' piece of paper similar in color to that of the card over the message and writing their mes- sage on the paper they re-directed it and at-- temped to send it through the mails but the fraud was detected and brought to light by our local post-office. WILL Toss. WESTON ' We had quite a sad fune erc last Fri- day; Harriet M. the beloved wife of Mr. - George Bulkley, died after .but a short ill- ness. _ She leaves 7 children and a numerous: circle of relatives and friends. The funeral} services were held at the house ; the Rev. Mr. Lubkert officiating. How much the deceased was esteemed and beloved \was; testified by the large assembly of mourners and the funeral procession was one Of the largest we have seen in~ Weston for years. Since July last regular monthly services have been held in what A is called, the Den School House. It is a most romantic spot full of. weird scenery, the wildness of which reminds the traveller sometimes of the in- cidents_described so graphically by Cooper, in his Pathfinder stories, when the Indian with tomahawk in hand, was ready to spring upon his unsuspecting enemy. But we hope the gentler influence of christianity are now prevailing. The services in the school house are conducted by the Rev. E. Lubkert, pas- tor of the Congregational church. The students of Mr. Jarvis Military Insti- . tutc are preparing for a concert and exhibi- tion, previous to their leaving for a shdrt Easter vacation. They expect to go home on Thursday and will return on the 21st inst. May this brief recess do them a deal of good and send‘them back to us in health and safety, prepared to win new laurels on the field of literature and service. . Fast-day will be duly observed in the church. Service at 11 o’clock, a. in. Let us hope the day will not degenerate into a feast day, as is' only too often the ease. TON WES. The dam at Francis Buckley’s mill in South- port was broken awa by the fresher, Tuesday morning, and the Cl er mill just below lifted from its foundations and carried along with the flood. A few rods below, the mill struck the bridge, knocking one of the abutments to pieces,.and lifting the entire structurefromits piers-so that it settled back in a badly de- morahzed attitude. The cider mill went com- pletely to pleccs. Mr. Buckley’scarriagc shop also and the gaeat'gbpart of its foundation swep away, an n_ w yesca ed oin with the mill. The'brldge Was built. ghoul two ears ago at a cost of over $5,000. Joel anks: dam at Hull’s Farms, Westport, was also swept awayTuesda morning. Abridge between Southport an Westport, near the shore, was also so badl . damaged by the freshet as to be impassab e. ' fchange among , , WESTPORT.: Friday afternoon, while it rained, snowed and the sun Was shining, a splendid rainbow appeared in .the eastern sky. As a sort of judgment from same unseen power in payment ‘for‘culpability at— the polls Monday, or for other reasons, a flood, greater than any which had proceeded it, visited the citizens of this devoted village, Tuesday, fill- ing every cellar at the center, and transform- ing for the time being, the streets into flowing rivers, which were navigable only for small craft. Rain which had fallen. continuously for nearly thirty hours, .caused Dead Man’s Brook to overflow its banks, and the waters thus let loose, came rushing down the valley, deluging gardens and back door yards, and turning things “ Topsy-turvey” generally. Just at a time when a general inundation was imminent,‘the rain changed to snow, thus re- licving many anxious minds. How best to guard against future visitation of this sort is a‘ problem which property owners are trying -to solve. Much damage was caused among I the highways. So great was the rush of wa- ter that E. II. Nash’s mill dam would have given way had it not been for a protecting structure of stone below the dam, erected at great expense last fall; Mr. W. O. Seymour, civil engineer in the employ of the Consolidated railroad compa- ny, has finished and submitted to President Hurlbutt, a map and profile of our proposed Horse Railway. The work is executed in ur- tistic style, and can in truth be called a'splen- did production. ‘ Mr. S. G. Taylor would be glad to hear ness from his carriage house, Saturday night, April 1st. . Shad were offered for sale on our streets,Sat- urday, at, so cheap :1 rate, that thinking men asked if the artificial propagating processes going on for years, had not‘ended to that re- suit. ' In consequence of a telegram, Saturday, announcing the death of Mr. John Treadwcll in New h’lilford, the meeting of the Chess Club was held at Mr. E. M. Lees’ instead of 'at Mr. H. R. Tmadwell’s. - Passion week services will be held in the Episcopal cmrches as follows: At Christ Church, ante communion service every after- noon at 4:30, except Thursday, on the even- ing of which day, full commemorative com- munion service will be celebrated. Regular services morning and evening-on Good Friday. At the church of the Holy Ttrinity, services every afternoon at 4:15. Full services mom- ing and evening on Good Friday. , Mr. John Warren Taylor, druggist in this village for upwards of forty years, during maintaininga store equal in all' respects 'to first class stores in the metropolis, has ‘sold out his business to Mr. W. C. Hull, who will place his son, Mr. Jos. T. Hull, of Brooklyn, in charge. Mr. William E. Nash will remain as prescription clerk, and will continue to of- ficiate as Town Clerk. Mr. Taylor’s condi- tion of health and need of rest are. the rea- sons for action taken. _ ' It will cost about $3,000 to repair the turnpike bridge over Sasco Creek, carried away by the floods of Tuesday night, and the Selectmen have advertised for proposals for the work. A bridge over the same creek near Captain Thorpe’s, was also carried away, but it b‘ private property, the town will not s'ufier. The turnpike bridge was nearly new. The bridge, or the creek over whichjt passes, is the dividing line between the towns of Wesitport and Southport; (or Fairfield) and the expenses of reconstruction will be divi- ded between them. ' ' Another aged citizen has gone—Mr. James Fillow, of Poplar Plains, in his 85th year. His death occurred Monday, 3d. During all his life he had been a resident of Westport, and identified with her interests. He had voted for thirteen presidents. Mr. David S. Gray, proprietor of the West; port Hotel, is lying dangerously ill. A coun- cil of physicians in his ease was called Satur- day night. _ g It is expected the Easter Musical services will be of the usual attractive character this year. If the conduct and management of meet- ings of citizens called to deliberate on the best methods for protecting native oysters, is left to men having a questionable knowledge of the English language, these said citizens should not complain when Outsiders, taking advantage of the “leave outs” in the prohib- itory (‘1’) measures passed at. said meetings, come in as they did last fall and scrape the river from source to mouth. A well known gentleman in South Nor- walk, elected to the legislature recently, is reported to have received an anonymous let- ter from Westport, in which the writer takes occasion to state that, if the storieslabout a certain man’s losing off his pantaloons while at work in legislative committee are not stopped, there will be a easeto be settled .be- fore the courts. The pantaloon story being true, the propo'sed action in court is anxious— ly awaited. . - , Trm Car or HARD Truss—Wherever one goes now the cry of “ hard times” is heard, and accepting the same as based on truth, we can by a slight‘ exercise of the sensibilities, be led to believe that the country generally is on the verge of absolute ruin. Some me- chanics who now receive from three to three and one-half dollars per diem for their servi- ces are loud in their denunciations of an ad- ministration which they are pleased to stig- matize as apathetic in all that tends to mend the waning prosperity of the country, and they refer, with ' pleasure, to the times in 1844—5, preceding theyMexican war, when all was peace, there was plenty to do, money was easy, and the goose hung unusually high. These same men forget that they then re- ceived but from one to one dollar and a half , gold, for their labor, and that they submitted . without grumbling to the payment of from fifteen to eighteen dollars per barrel for flour, 'and that they were made the victims of spec- ulators who were wide-awake then as now, to turn a bargain to their own advantage. Flour can now be bought for seven dollars, and the same men are getting fully three times the pay, on a gold basis, they formerly received; and yet they belch forth loudly the seeming popular cry “hard times." The sound is heard everywhere except in West- port. ' Here, there appears to be no material business men, who, with plenty to do, are evidently making money. Our merchants, here, nearly all of them, own the stores in which they trade, and have no rent to pay. If they pay rent it is not exor- bitant. Many merchants in New York city pay fifteen thousand dollars annual rent for stores which are not so advantageously situa- ted for business as the two stores in National Bank building in Westport, either of which can be had for less than one-thirteenth the money. Look—at the grocers here, as a class paying no rent, and all having a fair busi-. ness. The quantity of goods they dispose of yearly is great. Then look at the amount of lumber, hardware, fertilizers, lime, .. brick, cement and plaster sold here. At times one can see a . constant, stream of customers thronging the streets with these articles. What seems most surprising is the rush of people from out of town to Norwalk, Bridge- port and other adjacent towns to carryon a business which might be done equally as well, possibly better, in Westport, on account of its central location. If the “hard times” cry was not occasionally heard outside it might not be known to others than residents that there is such a place as Westport. Ev- ery ill wind blows somebody good, and so Westport comes in at intervals for the share of benefit. When our merchants have no rents to pay in such times as the present, the homely old saying “ Every dog has his day” strikes the car with peculiar significance, for they seem to count the cost, and to see plain- ly where goods can be afforded-the cheapest, on account of rent and other expenses being small.

As no provision was made, how- ever, for the election of the school board of the schools under the consolidation system, and as the meeting adjourned without date, the board cannot be elected until the annual town meeting next fall. Even then, it will system into operation so that “consolidatio will notbe a practical reality for: the present, at least. .

He went to the quarters ,of the employees, who expected him, but ‘said he would await Mr. Hoyt’s return from the city before going to work. On Mr. Hoyt’s return Davis began his' labors. his first job being to bed down the horses. About half past six o'clock Davis, who it is alleged had previously mentioned his purpose to re- turn to his family that evening, started ap- parently on his way to the village. No trace of him has been discovered from that hour. Deputy Sheriff Newman and a detective vis- ited the. premises on Tuesday forenoon, but without discovering anything tangible. The suspicion that the missing man has been foul- ly dealt with, appears to be gaining ground, and some sensational developments are look- ed for shortly. ‘ ' ' ~ A man giv'inghis name as Wm.
