We wonder that this quiet and beautiful than it is during the summer, so quiet and so “beautiful for situation” is it ; so elevated above the surrounding country, and so far from the sound, as to enjoy a pure, delight- ful atmosphere, from which the saltness of the Eastern and Southern breezes has been lost, while those coming from the Northern and Western-hills are as fresh as those of a more remote interior. ‘Then, too, it is so easy of access by the Danbury and Norwalk 'and Branch railways ; the long, Main street is so Wide, and so inviting ; the population so orderly, intelligent and cultured ; the views, even from the street, are so extensive and .uteresting, and the churches so pleasant. ~ Then, 'close at hand, is that lofty and smooth "Ridge” permitting a sweep of vision almost as great as the eye can take in, from the Danbury hills on the North to Long Island on the South, and from Redding Ridge, and even the hills of Trumbull on the East, to the Hudson Highlands on the West. Truly, a suitable summer hotel or boarding house on that lovely crest, would attract many visitors, and some of them might be easilypersuaded to erect cottages there, as Quite a,number of gentlemen have evinced their appreciation of Ridgefleld as such a ~refuge. Just now, the sympathies of the community are tenderly drawh out toward the home of Rev. Mr. Teller, pastor of the. Congregational church, whose lovely wife has'been .dangerously and distressinglyill; but it said to be slightly better. One of your townsmcn is supplying the pulpit. ‘ . on Saturday this law and order community were righteously exercised over the arrest of “Jerry’ Bennett and his wife and two of his sons, in virture of a search warrant, which proved their house to be a receptacle of stolen goods, of which they and other sons are believed tohave been the thieves. Several parties have already identified property found there as stolen from their homes and stores, and it is now believed, as has long been sus- pected, that this family are responsible for a large number of petty thefts and more re- spectsblerobberies, in which some of their own relatives have been the sufferers. During Saturday and Sunday, and their nights, and up to last accounts parties have been investing and searching a large and almOst impenetrable swamp, south-west of the village, where the two older brothers are believed to have a harbor and a hut; and where they are now supposed tobe concealed. We hope all good citizens will 'be on the alert for their arrest and that we shall be able to report it and futher proceedings, in our next. ' - About half-past twelve Tuesday night, the cry of “Fire” was heard and the bells rung. People hurried from their homes to assertain the direction of the fire, and if possible, to It proved to be a barn belonging to D. C. Baxter, full of hay, and all the stages and harnesses, but one,» owned by H. Whitlock, besides five horses, which were suffocated by the smoke before the doors were burst open. Mr. Abbott’s barn and that of Mr. Dikeman’s also was in im- inient danger, asthey were but a few feet from the burning .building, but by great exertion they were not burned although somewhat .charred.

They were delayed in making Norwalk harbor, and arrived home at nine o’clock to stand for an hour more in the'small waiting room of the depot, a hot, perspiring, bedraggled crowd, huu and tired, until the rain ceas- edits stead' y pouring, and the umbrellas, waterproofs and rubbers arrived from home. It was‘a jolly sight to one who gloats o'er human misery, to see those erstwhile ha py .excursionists crowded in' that room. , ut the rain soon held up, relief came, and at ten o’clock the depot was closed. Notwithstand- ing this last drawback they all pronounced it ’a-happy time. ' - -. . " John Brennan died of brain fever, caused 61.08. 110'. 'brder inside of three weeks. WESTPORT. During the thunder showers Thursday evening lightning played many pranks among things which men esteem as out of the reach of interference. The electric fluid, after zig-aaging among the village spires, menacing the church at Saugatuck, laughing in the face of the Greenfield church, and cutting up “shines" not calculated to reflect credit upon it as rationally disposed lightning, made a thrust at the" Green's Farms church, tearing ofi portions of the siding at the west end, and entering the edifice, left the blackened traces of its course on the walls and flooring. The damage will be trifling. ‘ Westport and Saugatuck gentlemen met Saturday afternoon at Mr. H. R. Treadwell’s, and discussed the practicability and advisa~ bility of introducing public water into West- port, and of organizing a Board of Trade. The wallet which Mr. Patrick Murphy, Station agent, had for seven years securely carried in an inside vest pocket, fell to the ground Friday morning .as its owner was passing from the depot to his house. It con- tained about $200. Several tramps seeing the prize, s'eized and made off with it. Mur- phy was not long in learning that greenback virtuehad gone out of him, and desirous of getting it back, he went for the tramps who had started toward Norwalk with their prize. He overtook, and with the assistance of an officer, arrested them and recovered the money. They had abstracted about $50, and divided it equally, hiding the wallet under a stone in a piece of woods near the residence of William Raymond, not discovering that it still contained within its covers a snug little $150. Mr. Murphy did not prosecute; Mr. Robert Forsyth, who for eight years has conducted the affairs of the Green’s Farms Academy in the capacity of Principal, creditably to himself and members of the as- sociation, 'leaves the institution for reasons which plainly cannot in any way injure his good reputation. , On two successive nights burglars entered the cellar of Mrs. George L. Harris, carrying off articles of value. Mrs. H. is a lady with nerve enough to handle a revolver,.and the intruding rascal who falls within her aim is to be pitied. . The attendance at the D. 8. Gray auction, Saturday wits large, but the articles offered sold low. The sale was adjourned to Aug- ust 5th. The Gazette’s story of the Westport cat which sat on eggsand hatched chickens, has been made the subject of a fine picture in the Day's Doings. - At the West Saugatuck District School Meeting Saturday night, Mr. D. M. Marvin, Chairman, Geo. S. Adams, was chosen Com- mittee for the year. G. B. Bouton, Clerk, and William Edgar Nash, Treasurer. The Committe of three selected to audit the ac- counts of the District’s late Treasurer, after an hour’s intense study failed to find head or tail to the same, and so reported to the meet- ing which adjourned to Monday, July 31st, in order to afford time to wade through the account. It is in contemplation to erect an iron bridge in the village to take the place of the present dilapidated and rather uncouth look- ing structure. ' This is an age of progress; It transpires that if a man pulls down a stone fence which stands wholly on his own is " She can be made to pay the penalty of so 't an offence, Michael Kane and wife did it the other day, and Daniel O’Brien seeing them at it com- plained, and they had to pay a fine of $3 and costs. If Contractor Sessions and his gang of men can lay 500 feet of track per day, the horse railroad may be completed and in running Should this so happen, we can take advantage of the shank of summer yet left for several good rides in the new horse cars. Sunday was a day of showers, and all of them were accompanied with' lightning and thunder. ,-. Referring to the great meteor of Sunday, July 9th, Mr. Horace Staples, President __of the First National Bank,’ narrates that sixty. six years ago, when he was eight years old and resided at his fathers’ house in Easton, he was out of bed long before sunrise one summer morning. It was yet dark, though the light of coming day was visible in the East. Adjacent to the house were steep hills. Suddenly there was a flash and a roar in the air, followedtby sounds Which struck his car as resembling those produced by great logs of wood rolling down the hillside. It was youthful imagination, probably, and looking in the direction whence the sound came, he saw a firey aerial monster dash toward the earth and bury itself in the hill. Turf and stones were hurled in every direction, so great was the meteor’s momentum. This was followed by escaping smoke and seeth- ing steam through the aperture made in the ground. An instant later, came an explosion with fragments of the unnatural visitor ca st high in the‘ air. Startled by what he had seen and heard, Mr. 8., through boyish fear sought first to inform his parents. They had heard the noises, as had many of the neighbors. When. morning came there was a gathering of those anxious to learn what the early ex- citement was about. After speculation, prediction, guessing, comparing notes, and accepting for truth the story of Mr. S., they proceeded to the hill, where a slight excavation with shovels and hoes revealed to their view a formation, the geology of which they were unable to de- scribe or explain. The fragments were gathered up with greatest care, and were for years preserved in households as -curiosities to be shown to wondering children and grand-children. Mr. Staples has yet one of the pieces at his house. The event, occur- ring in that remote period, did not get into the daily newspapers of the State till some months afterwards. . ‘ Now that the work of laying the tracks for the horse railway is advancing with prospect of an early completion of the road, the question of locating a passenger depot is in order. Where shall it be ? What kind of a depot is needed. The new road will have a monopoly of the carrying traffic between the village and railroad station, and it can never be interferred with by competing stage lines. Stages, as Westport has known them for forty years, are things of the past,—— buried with the high prices for fare so long extorted from the public. Some will take .the cars at points on the line where they may find it most convenient, but the larger share of patrons, many with luggage, will seek a starting point at the end of the line. As this will be at the village center, the depot shouldbe located there, and it should be completed and ready for use when the road is done. It should be arranged to accommo- date the greatest number. The public will support a road well equipped and furnished, and the public’s interests in the matter should be well weighed by the company. Several decayed and worn places in the planking of the village bridge need repair- ing. . _ Mr. William Castle, the noted tenor, has been passing a few days at the residence of his mother, Mrs. T. F. Croft. Mr. P. W. Jones is seriously ill at his res- idence, and is not expected to recover. SALMON CULTURE—Under this head West- port parties have shown interest, and accom- plished much towards the solution of the problem of fish propogation by artificial means. The state fish commissioners in their annual report acknowledge this fact, and the legislature comprehending the im~ portancc of the work have deemed it wise to continue the usual appropriation. That the people may know what is being done with their money, and what they may re- ceive, very soon, in return for it, the follow- ing, at this time, will furnish good reading, and genuine encouragement. During the period begimmg April 12 and ending kune 7th 1876. Superintendent George Je liife deposited Salmon fry 111 the rivers of the State, as fellows: 10,000 of land locked Salmon in little Pond a tributary of Long Lake Winsted; 10,000 111' Spectacle Pond, Kent; 10,0001nlake Washington, one of the Twin lakes, Chapinviile ; 10,000 in Lake Wononscopomac. (one of the prettiest lakes in the state despite a stunning name,) town 'of Lakeville; 7,000 in Smith Lake, Norfolk ; 10,000 in Lake Wauraumaug, \Varren ; 13,000 in Bantam Lake, Litchficld. Of Penobscot Salmon be deposited 10,000 in Mill River at Southport ; 50,000 in the Housatonic at New Milford; 50,000 in the Natchaug a tributary of the Thames, and 300,000 in the Farmington river at New Hartford. He also placed 10,000 in the Saugatuck river at Westport. In addition to the above, the State will realize benefit from 75,000 of landlocked Salmon hatched at the Branford hatching house and deposited in the State lakes at about the time Mr. J elliffe was engaged transporting his fry. The-pros- poet of the public’s realizing benefit from these growing Salmon is daily improving. Already it has been reported that the young fish have been seen in large numbers. July 12th, according to 11 Hartford paper, a seven inch long Salmon, was caught in the Farm- ington river, town of Rainbow. It was one of the many thousands placed in that river two years ago, and was on its way to salt- water. It was put back into the river and will be likely to return a full grown fish with its companions in 1878. Mr. Edmund W. Taylor has been elected President of the Westport Savings Bank, to succeed Mr. Alva Gray, deceased. Geo. S, Adams E. A. Williams and H. H. Belden were chosen Vice Presidents :-—-E. S. Downcs, W. H.

Nash dam nuisance and pond malaria trouble is again exciting attention, and a petition to the Board of Health asking abatement, and bearing the names of some forty persons claiming that the pond since it. was raised has affected their health, is in circulation. According to this petition there never before was so manywater-sickfolks in town. Mr. William Wakeman, ’76, of Yale, son of Mr. Henry B. Wakeman, of this place, distinguished himself and honored Westport last week at Saratoga as a contestant in the annual college sports. Mr. W. won two. prize cups of value, one in the 100 yards foot race, and the other in a hurdle race, relative to which the New York Herald says : “Wakeman, of Yale, won handsomely by fifteen feet, clearing the hurdles most grace- fully and taking 18} s. to do it,—the fastest time on record.” . Master Frank Williams, son of Rev. John R. Williams celebrated his eleventh birthday this (Monday) afternoon. It was made the occasion of a social party, the young ladies and gentlemen of his age and station being in attendance. The hours passed pleasantly as they always do:with those who strive to obey their parents, and at the same time do all they can to make each other happy. A snake skin six feet long was found in a field the other day by Mr. C. W. Sherwood. The most valuable horse belonging to Gray's stable was driven to Bridgeport and back Wednesday,—one of the hottest days of the season,—by a young man evidently bent on showing his smartness. The poor animal reached his stall only to drop dowu and die a few hours later. The young man though showing no signs of remorse yet', will, if he lives have ample opportunity. PAUL. WILTON.

The excursion of St. Augustine church to Brandford beach was marred by the shooting of a woman in the arm by a man who was too- drunk to know what he was about. After the shooting the men were clamorous for the drunken man’s life, but officers interferred to rotect him. A bar was kept open on the oat. The Butchers are to hold their second an- nual pic-nic, at Pembroke Grove. ' The St. George’s Society made their annual excursion on Thursday, in steamer Laura, to DoubleBeach.

Dr. Samuel Pitcher,.of llyannis, Mass., experi- mented In his private practice for twenty years to produce a combination that would have the prop- erties of Castor 011 without its unpleasant taste ‘ and griping effect. His 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 assimilates the toad, cures sour stomach and wind colic, regulates the bow- els expel. worms, and may be relied upon in croup. - As a pleasant, effective and perfectly late cu.- tlaurllc remedy, it is superior to Castor Oil, Cor- dials and Syrups. It does not not contain alcohol, and is adapted to any age. , , By regulating the stomach and bowels of cross and sickly child! on they become good-natur- ed and healthy.
