CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Today the 22d of June, the Congregation-
al Churchvobscrvcd the one hundrd and
fiftieth anniversary of its existence. Occur-
ringasthis did on the Centennial year, it
. was an occasion of more than usual interest.
Those having charge of the arrangements,
faithfully performed their duty, and every.
thing was done for the comfort of those in.
vited. The floral decorations reflected great
credit on those engaged in making them ,
festoons hung fromapiont over the pulpit;
and the pulpit was almost embedded in
greens and flowers.
pulpit, on a level with the galleries were the
floral figures 1726 and 1876.
The exercises were opened by the .Rev.
Mr. Merwin introducing the President of
the day, the Hon. Charles Jones, of New
York. Mr. Jones in his opening, address,
stated, although resident init- anotherplace,
yet he longed for the return of the summer
'montbs, in order that he might return to-
Old Wilton. In passing he paid a glowing
tribute to the effect. of New England 'influ-‘
ence, and said, as the stream can_be traced.
through the desert by the verdure on the
banks, so'can New England influence be
traced from the Atlantic to the Pacific. At
the conclusion of Mr. Jones’ address, the
choir rendered Jehovah’s Praise in a very
effective manner. ‘
. Prayer was then offered by the Rev. D.
' R. Austin of South Norwalk. He returned
thanks for the mercies of Heaven extended
to their church during. these many years,
and invoked a Divine blessing on her future.
'Tll‘e Rev. H. N.’ Dunning, then read the
forty-fifth Psalm.
The address of welcome was delivered by
the Rev. Mr. Merwin the pastor. Mr. M.
said he told the person on whom devolved
the response, that about all he wanted to. say
way that he welcomed them all, but was
told all the response he would get would be
“thank you" and Of course he. had to make
some extended remarks in order to obtain a
good response. He welcomed them all :and
wanted them to‘rejoice with us today; be
bid the. lawyer to forget his client ; the min-
istcrhis pulpit, and the physician to neglect
his patient, and perhaps, he added, he 'will
i be betterjfor ”it. He‘ Wanted all to forget
"their. several cares and troubles and join in
The Rev. Mr. Hubbell, of New Haven
” ' responded asfcllows :—
' It gives me great pleasure in behalf Of
those of us who return ,t‘o-day, to this sacred
place, so full Of hallowed memories and asso-
ciations, to mingle with you all in these
commemorative services ; to return our
thanks for your very cordial greeting, and
for the kind sentiments that accompany it.
Why, sir, your welcome’hfi made us feel at
home again, as though we had not really lost
our inheritance here ; that we are not aliens
or strangers—but have a fellowship with the
. Saints and with the household of God. It
issa‘i'd that the sons of old England, Where-
ever they roam, carry home with them and
thouoh exiled and expatriated they belong
to old England still. So it is, sir, with some
of us who find ourselves coming back here
with no home to visit; the old places in the
possession of strangers ; no rights here in
property ; the families scattered, yet this dear
,old town still is and ever will be our home.
It is good to come up to Zion on this air-
niversary day to recall the scenes of the past,
to recall the faces and the names that had
almost faded from memory, to recall the his-
tory of this old and honored church, of’its
pastors, of its deacons, of its members. It
is good for each of us to come back to the
beginning of things ; to trace back the
roots of our lives to their sources and to find
them fed from deep and hidden springs
' among these hills. It is good for us to see
what influenceshclped shape as and to ask
whether we have been faithful to our early
teachings and vows. .
Thomas Arnold of Rugby has said that
when boys have graduated from school, and
have passed on into earnest life, that how-
ever mueh they may have been neglected
or abused, however distlisteful their school
life may have been at the time of it, they
will love to revisit the scenes of their youth,
and they will remember with only gratitude
all that was done for them. So does it seem
'to us all; out of whatever divergent paths
we come back to this one place where we
were wont to meet on Sabbath days. This
place to which, perhaps, some of us did not
come so willingly and so thankfully, as we
come this morning. '
And, oh, what a charm memory has, to
touch with her magic wand, scenes long
past, and make them present once more—to
touch the graves On yonder hill side, and
make them give up their dead, to lead them
in long procession, so that they shall walk
these aisles once more, and sit here before us
in their old places, with their old familiar
look, to sing and pray, and listen
and sleep, as they used to do in those far off
days. What a power has memory that she
cantouch this comely sancturry as it is to-day
with its new fangled freseoe and organ, with
its modern pulpit and pews, and convert
them into that old meeting house of five and
thirty years ago, so dear and familiar to
. some of us, with its plain walls and lofty
pulpit with its majestic sounding board above
it, and the square, straight back pews, and
the lofty galleries with that tremendous choir,
fiddle, base-veil and all.
I say for myself and I am sure I am utter-
ing the sentiments of all these boys and
girls, young and old who have returned here
that they might join in these festivities—if
we have reaped any success in life, if at the
bar or in the pulpit, if as teachers, if as men
Of business and cares, we have been or being
useful in our generation, it is one of the
greatest pleasures we have to claim this dear
old town as our native place, and this church
where our fathers worshiped as the hallowed
spot where those good men that are gone
sprinkled us in holy baptism and taught
us in the way of life where we had our first
thoughts of God and of eternity, where many
of us, in the enthusiasm of early youth con-
secrated ourselves to God and our eneration.
‘ It is.with feelings of pride, par enable on
this memorial day that we recall the honora-
ble names of both living and dead, of both
men and women, Who have gone from this
church, more thana score Of them have pass-
ed and some of them with high honors,
through collegiate and professional study; .
one Of them has a name conspicuous not only
in our own land and iii this century but con-
s icuous throughout all lands where the Bible
studied. I am reminded here of an inci-
dent of this distinguished scholar, Prof.
Moses Stuart, told me recently by one who
heard it, that after preaching in this church
two or three Sabbaths during a. mention, as
he often did to the delight of the people, the
pastor said just before his sermon on the
following Sabbath. “My dear people, you
have had one of your distinguished sons to
preach for a few times, most remarkable
sermons; you must now be content to put
up With more common fare." And I would
not forget the many distinguished men, who
were here in preparatory .study, some of
them we are glad to see present to-day, who
were earnest helpers in this church, and
. whose memories are yet fragrant.
But I must. not continue these thoughts
but leave them for others who are to‘ follow
me. Allow me to say in closing, that this
day is one of, peculiar joy to us boys and
. girls who return here, and we wish to thank
you all for your very kind greetings. But
to some of us, there are and thoughts as we
return to find voices that welcomed in the
past, now hushed in death, and hands that
need to p ours in welcome, new forever
am]. _e find strangers living where we
used to dwell; only let us' resolve as we go
hence,that we Will teach our children the prin-
cipleg that'were taught us, and that we will
train them as we were trained for usefulness on
earth and for happiness in heaven, so that'the
lives of those_who have gone before will be
. perpetuated in the generations that are to
allow. -
I would close with the following sentiment.
This day of June, suspiciously one of the
longest of the year—fruitful, full of flowers
and of evergreens. May it be to this church
the symbol and the prophecy of a long day
of unfading beauty and blessedness—the
beauty of holiness-ewe blessedness of useful-
ness and when it at last closes, to close only
to open into the brightness of the eternal
morning, whose gladder bells shall usher in
the day.
A hymn composed expressly for the occa-
sion by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, (a grand-
daughter Of Prof. Moses Stuart) was then
sung by the choir. '
God of the centuries! Who art
The Homo'of every homeless heart,
The Wisdom to our foolishness.
The Rest of all our weariness.
We are too dull to understand

“Show Thyself to us, or we die I" g
In the dim thicket called Thy Church,

O I clasp us to it! hold us there!
Till some glad day the dawn breaks fair,
Till on the sweet fair plains it fall,
Arid Truth for one is Truth for all.
The historical address was then given by
the Rev. Samuel G. Willard. '_ Mr. W. pre-
faced his sermon by stating that he first in-'
tended to prepare a discourse‘which could be
delivered in the time usually allotted to a
sermon, but the matter had so grown under
his investigations that he was obliged to give
selections rather than the Whole. '
His ‘text'was the first verse of the forty-
fourth Psalm. His semen indicated thorough
research on his part and he will ever be held
in grateful remembrance as the person who
has. performed an invaluable service for the
church and town by giving a concise and
authentic history of this church.
" The defeat of King Philip produced a
salutary effect and as the chances ,of Indian
depredations grew less, people began to take
up unsettled portions of the country - and in
fthisfiway Wilton was probably settled by em.
migrants from N orwalk.
Why the town was called Wilton is not
known, but it was probably so called from
Wilton in Willshire, England.
Many interesting incidents connected with
the early struggles of their church were re-
lated. In 1728. the first common school was
founded in Wilton ; the pastor of the church
the Rev. Mr. Sturgeon being the teacher.
Tile first church edifice Was erected in Kent,
between where is ‘DOW‘ the house of Mr.
Irad Morgan, and ' the D. d“; N. R. R., the
track of which passed through the old grave
yard. The solicitude of the' parent church
of Norwalk for the child was evinced by the
grant of the old pulpit,'and tracts of land,
although some land of the \Vilton church
was sold by the Norwalk church and the pre-
coeds diverted to their own use.
Mr. Willard spoke in terms of the highest
praise of the second pastor,'the Rev. Mr.
' Gaylord, to whom we are indebted for an
authentic record’ot church affairs. Mr.
'Gaylord labored among this people thirty-
six years, having one assistant part of .the
time. After his decease Mr. Mills the assis-
tant, was invited to ' become the, pastor, but
the call not being. unanimous he declined,
and lived to become a useful minister of the
Gospel. During Mr. Gaylord’s pastorate a
new church was built on “Sharp Bill." For
a number of years this church was in a 'state
of incompletion, owing to a lack of funds.
Whitfield when assing from Boston to New
York On his second visit to America, preach-
ed‘in this church." In 1789, the location of-
thc church edifice was changed to its present
site. The pastorate of the Rev. Sylvanui
'Haight seems to_ have been one, of ..materisl
as well as spiritual prosperity for while pas
tor afund of $4,000 was raised which has
since been swelled by bequeaths to nearly
$10,000. To Mr. Haight, Wilton is also in-
debted for her excellent Academy ‘ which
has been so instrumental in training up so
many good and useful men. Mr. Haight
was succeeded by the Rev. Samuel Merwin,
father of the present pastor. Mr. M had
for twenty-seven years previous been pastor
of a church in New Haven. ' Mr. John
Smith succeeded him and during his pastor-
ate a powerful nvival‘ occurred and ninety-
flve were added to the church in one day.
Mr. Smith died in Stamford in the fall of
'73. After alluding briefly to remaining
pastors, he gave a short sketch of Prof.
Moses Stuart, who wasborn in the house now
occupied by A. M. Jones, Esq. At an early
age he developed a fondness for books, and
granuated with high honors at Yale, Class of
1799. Being admitted to the bar he soon
took a prominent position. Abandoning the
bar ‘f’or the sacred desk, he preached accepta-
bly to a church in New Haven, while serving
in this capacity he received the appointment
of Professor Of Hebrew and Greek at And-
over. Two years 'later he published an
Hebrew Grammar and no printer being com-
petent to set the type he was obliged to per-
form a part of that work himself.
Mr. Willard’s address commanded the
closest attention throughout,~ and we learn
with pleasure that it is to be published in
pamphlet form, and every citizen of Wilton
should have a copy. -
A solo “The Pilgrim’s Progress” by Mr.
R. J. Johnston, followed. After which the
Rev. Nathaniel Bouton, D. D. offered prayer.
Then came the richest treat 'of all by one
of Wilton’s gifted sons; the poem by the
Rev. J. G. Davenport. Of this poem it is
impossible to give any description, save that
some of the sentiments were grand, ahd some
of the wit was timely and well received, and
we hope the hint thrown out in reference to
the old cemetery will be carried out.
The Doxology was then sung and the
guests of the occasion were invited to par-
take of the collation furnished by the ladies
who on"this occasion eclipsed all former
efforts. Having refreshed themselves they
returned to the church where Off hand speak-
ing was indulged in, and old reminis-
ences revived. The Rev. Nathaniel Bou-
ton, D. D. gave a very interesting account
of his school-boy days in Wilton and spoke
‘of the many kind actions manifested toward
him by the people of Wilton. Dr. Beely
St. John showed a very interesting ‘relic of
the past church, viz: A square used in its
construction. This instrument was well pre-
served and has been handed down for many
generations. This occasion will long be re-
membered in Wilton and let us hope that
the existence of this church will be continued
until there is but one church and one flock.
Everything passed off pleasantly; nothing
occured to mar the joy of the occasion and
all appeared happy on this, more than Cen-
tennial day. WiLL TONN.
In behalf of tlle many sons and daughters
of Wilton, gathered on Thursday last at the
old homestead, Ibeg hereby to remedy an
unfortunate omission, and express our deep
appreciation Of the work performed in prep-
oration for our glad gathering. To the com-
mittee of arrangements whose labors were
arduous; to the ladies who provided the
thanksgiving repast; to those who so beauti-,
fully adorned the dear old church; to all
who aided in making our anniversary so de-
lightful, our hearts overflow with gratitude.
Your self-denyingcfforts for our ' enjoyment
are a pledge that for us there still is love at
home, and their memory will brighten many
afuture day. May God bless and reward
you all. JOHN G. DAVENPORT.

Wednesday afternoon last an interesting
game of Base Ball. was played on the Union
grounds between a picked nine from Nor-
walk—eight of whom were formerly a part
of the “ Independent” nine and one "‘ For-
‘est City”——and the Union club of this place.
The Norwalk boys had not played together
this year, and were'not in condition to meet
on a fair footing the well-practiced Unions.
The assertion that the game was umpi'red in
favor of the Unions is a cowardly way _ of
getting over a defeat, which we are happy to
say, is not the opinion Of all of the Norwalk
nine. The fact is that the impartial decisions
of the umpire, Mr. Edson Ayres, were uni-
versally commended by disinterested parties
who witnessed the game. We append the

Mr. Charles Elwood has in his possession

Puritans in 1620 in the Mayflower, and was

ous sea voyage and landing on “The Stern
New England Coast" where “The Breaking
waves dashed High.” It is a modest appear-
ing kettle, and yet, at first sight, the antiqua-
rian would say'it is better calculated to boil
clothes in, than to cook a dinner for a small
family. Standing as nearly erect as possible
on the two of the three legs which time has

his sight restored, was Dr. B. M. Page,
who took him to a hospital in New York.

lishingafoundation for the road bed near
the house of Mr. Amos Barnes, in sucha
manner as to leave no doubt that the con-
struction will be a success. The only‘iper-
plexing matter is the timber which left
Pensacola in May and much of which had. to
be thrown overboard from the schooner
Means, of! the coast of Savannah; the ves’sel
having since been condemned as unseaworthy.
.It is hoped the transfer of cargo to another
vessel will occupy only a few days.
Mr. Abram Hendrickson of Westport, who
has been in California for seven years, ‘rc-,
turned here last week. ' . -
Rev. A. N. Lewis of this place, delivered,
Saturday, in New Britain, an original poem
at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Connect-
icut Masonic Veteran Association.
It is accepted and declared that the man
who boasted that the water which naturally
finds its way down Wright street, past his
residence, should be made to run down
King street even if it cost llim $5,000, is in
his second childhood. .
“ Don’t throw stones at the birds," is a
subject which should be dilated on iii the
hearing of boys in our public schools.
The gentlemen soliciting subscriptions to
defray the expense of celebrating the Fourth
of J uly are meeting with such success, that it
is safe to predict,_ provided fine weather fa-
vors, that we shall have a good time. The
Committees, one and all, are doing what they.
can to perfect arrangements, and citizens '
seem inclined to coincide with suggestions as
to furthering the good work. The amount
of money needed will positively be raised
this’week, and early Tuesday morning next,
look .fOr' a tremendous blow out. As the
sun's first rays show themselves above the
eastern hills, the village cannon stationed at
the “Diggins"—the sonic gun which spoke '1
Lincoln’s second election despite the spiking
by a: soulless ignoramus, will announce to'
gladened listeners the opening of the day
which marks our entrance upon the second
hundred years of our national existence, and
every national man, singing bird, c‘rowing
Chanticleer will echo a hearty response. Pa-
triotic boys will see that the cliurch bells do
not remain silent, and later in the day “Horri-
ble Fantastics" will blow from ridiculously
shaped horns their version of thenation’s joy—
nonc the less acceptable, because blown in
jest. Good boys and girls will with the usual
explosions do their part in furnishing items
for the Country’s unwritten history, and it is
hoped they may have a chance during the day-
to sing with the town’s Sunday Schools united
for the occasion, patriotic songs, That we
are to have Mr. Wood’s historical address,
Rev. Mr. Lewis’ poem, Dr. Sanderson’s pray-
er and Rev. Mr. Williams’ reading of the de-
claration, are fixed facts. The village band,
too, it is believed, will not disappoint in the
rendering of a programme of good musical
selections. Though the pyrotechnic commit-
tee do nothope,muchless expect to equal Nor.

in as clear an atmosphere, and in proportion
to their number teach as many lessons and
give as good satisfaction. It now remains for
the people to say this “Fourth” shall be made
a day worthy of the occasion, by resolving to
cast aside the inclination to wish the efiort to

the same by their personal presence.

FAIRFIELD.
A very sad affair occurred in Fairfield on
Monday of last week. .TWO boys, Theron
R. Valentine, aged ten, and James Dunn,
nine years old, while bathing at Fairfield
beach Were drowned. The Valentine boy
was a son of the proprietor of the Fairfleld
House; the Dunn boy’s father is in the Black
Hills.

Tire Evll Frnlt- of Weak Digestion.
There is no pathological fact more clearly ascer-
aiued than the t- the most formidable phases of
nervous disease are directly traceable to imper-
fect dlgcstion. Insomnia, with its train of (llreful
consequences, proceeds more frequently from
weakness of the stomach than from any other.
More sedatives are powerless to cure nervousness.
The true way to strengthen the nervous system is
to invigorate the digestive and assimilative organs
upon whose unobstructed actlon its daily use of
Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters will do more to brace
and soothe the weakened and irritated nerves,
and induce sound. refreshing sleep—mature’s
grand catholicon,—than all the so called nervines
to be found in the pharmaccpocia or out of it. A

pr lies a combination that would have the prop-

Ills preparation was sent for, near and far, till
finally he gave it the name of Castoria, and put it
for sale. It is very wonderful in its effects. par-
ticularly with the disordered stomachs and bowels
of children. It alllmllotco the Iced, cures
sour stomach and Wind colic, regulates the bow-

As a pleasant, effective and perfectly safe on-
thartic remedy, it is superior to Castor Oil, Cor-
