NEW CANAAN.
Rev. Samuel Johnson and family are visit-
ing Mrs. Samuel Comstock, in New Canaan,
on their way home from the Centennial.
WILTON.
The ladies of St. Matthew's church, by a
liberal use of printer's ink, secured a large
attendance at their Fair, and by exposing for
sale articles which recommended themselves
to the buyer by their utility and beauty, will
probably clear something over $400. One
feature of the fair which attracted considera-
ble attention, was Miss Florence Jones, who,
attired in dress somewhat in advance of her
years, and with a numerous family of dolls,
represented the “ Old Woman who Lived in
the Shoe," of Mother Goose notoriety.
The Mission Band will meet Friday after-
noon and evening at the house of Mr. Ed-
ward 'Oluiste'ad. A full attendance is re-
quested.
Another tcmperance meeting under the
auspices of Wilton Division, will be held in
the Kent avenue M. E. Church, Thursday
evening next, at 7:45 p. m. Beside the array
of talent in the way of local speakers, the
G. W. P. of Connecticut, H. 0. Baldwin,
‘will be present. Those who have heard Mr.
B. will remember him as a pleasing and of.
, feetivc speaker. ,
It‘ rumor can be relied on, the: Bennett
f—boys still continue their percgrinations about
'71‘5ffetoivii. They are reported to be veritable
walking arsenals. In addition to a double,-
'barreled gun of several horse power Carried
'by each, they have an infinite number of ‘ re-
IvOlcvrs, knives and tom’aliawks‘ fastened
about their persons, in the most graceful pro-
fusion. It is Obvious, therefore, that it
, Would be much safer to encounter a Gatling
gun, or be precipitated upon a can of nitro-
"glycerinc than to meet these young men.
They have also betrayed a fondness for but-
ter,‘ and it ‘is probably owing to a liberal use
of this article about their persons that they
have been enabled thus far to slip away from
the officers.
The Fair of the Ladies of the Episcopal
Church, held in the ladies room of the Con-
gregational church, on two evenings of last
week, was well attended and very enjoyable.
From the first inception everything seemed
propitious and the very best of feeling and
harmony was shown by all, as well evinced
by the generous use of the Lecture room
from one Christian Society to a sister society,
all of which was duly appreciated and suit-
ably recognized. Thcsc kind acts, though
small of themselves, are reallywhat makes
all the world skin. The ladies realized about
$400 from their efforts. ,
We understand that the ladies of the Con-
gregational Society also propose holding a
fair during the latter part of the mouth.
Darie'n Association.
The regular meeting was held on Monday,
August 7th in the office of’Mr. Robert Dix’s
factory near Noorton station. Prest. II. NV,
Collender, Esq.,r in the chair :—
A report of the supplementary annual meet-
ing held one month previous in place of the
regular monthly meeting, was read.
On that occasion the Town Hall was filled
with an appreciative audience composed of
some of Darien’s most respected citizens.
The exercisesas arranged for the printed
programme were carried out with the ex-
ception of the address of Peter B. Mead,
Esq, who was detained at home by sudden
illness. ‘ .
0n taking the chair the President express-
ed in'a few appropriate words the welcome
of the Association.
The Stamford Quartettc Club favored the
audience with several of their songs, one of
them a comic Irish song brought down the
house with peals of laughter, while the others.
were thoroughly enjoyed for. their sentiment
and harmony. - ‘
The Secretary read a report of the progress
and prosperity of the ‘ Association, and the
Hon. Vincent Colyer, the crater of the eve.
ning pictured to the attentive listeners, many
beautiful views in the locality of Darien, as
they present themselves to an artistic eye. ' ‘
Resolutions of thanks were unanimously
and heartily voted the Stamford Quartette
Club and the Hon. Vincent Colyer for their
kind services during the evening.
The Association accepted the invitation of
H. W. Collender, Esq., to hold a pic-nic or
Fete Champetrc on his beautiful grounds
called La Belle Point, on August' 17th, and
the executive committee was instructed to
make the necessary preparations, provide
tickets, &c.
Next meeting will be held at the Town
Hall...
GREENWICH. . .
During a thunder-shewer on Monday after-
noon the granary of Colonel Thomas A.
Mead of Greenwich was struck by lightning
and set on fire. Notwithstanding the most
strenuous exertions on the part of citizens to
extinguish the flames, they spread to the cow
sheds, then successively to the main barn,
cornhouse, and finally to the carriage house,
making in all six buildings. The . '
was filled with'grain, and“ the barn contained
one hundred tons of‘ha , besides grain. The
total loss is fully $1, , on which there is
an insurance of about $4,000 in the Green-
wich Mutual. Col. Mead, is well known and
highly respectedthroughout the state, being
one of the leading and most intelligent farm-
ers. He will receive general sympathy at
his misfortune. ' .
Mr. B. Luke, of King street, Port Chester,
has purchased the celebrated Cedar Cliff
estate for $22,000. This place consists of a
handsome modern house, eight acres of land, '
and a delightful front on Long Island SOund.
The property was formerly owned by Mr.
Chas. Barres, who erected the residence and
sold the estate to the tragedian, .Edwin Booth,
who sold it to Mr. J. Boyd, of whom Mr.
Luke purchased it. Mr. Luke will occupy

Brookfield was visited on the 7th inst. by a
severe storm accompanied by a gale that was
almost a tornado. Many trees were uprooted
and conSidcrable damage was done to the
growmg crops. . A severe hail storm passed
over the valley in connection with the other
elemental disturbance, and almost entirely de-
stroyed the tobacco plants in the district
which 'it traversed.
A silver and lead mine has been discovered
in Brookfield, and the parties interested in its
ownership are hi hly excited over its sup-
posed richness. t is said that some of the

WESTPORT.
Days of rare beauty and loveliness have
day history has there been such a period.
The prospect of fogs and muggy conditions
to succeed is not relished.
With so much good timber in town laying
around loose, there is no reason why the
“Old" bridge may not be placed promptly in
repair. ,
Though the days have shortened over an
hour, they are yet long enough, as to heat,
to secure all the comfort needed.
Digging for the horse railroad and the
grading to follow, will place depot road in
better condition than ever before. That long
tract] filled with cobble stones below Birts ;
for instance, will be the means, of itself, of
keeping that point Of the road passable in

icaily, only the men of longest legs have been
able to navigate successfully at that point.
The Stamford Herald is authority for say-
ing that Capt. L. L. Haynes, and Theodore
Lautcnbach were not drowned off Greenwich
Point, in the fall of 1875, an occurrence
which everybody, Westport people in par-
ticularly, 'believed at the time had taken
place, but that they are both alive and have
been heard from. The Herald says “From
a person who conversed with W. Lautcn-
bach, brother of Theodore, not long ago, we
learn that neither Haynes nor Lautcnbach
were drowned. Shortly after the finding of
the sharpie Bluebird, W. Lautcnbach receiv-
ed a letter from his brother Theodore, from
which, it seems, the latter was ill need. by a
father and step-mother, and therefore had
the best of reasons for staying away. Haynes
had an nncongenial partner. From W. Lau-
tcnbach’s version of the affair it is. probable
that the men desertcdthe sharpie when her
position was convenient to the shore, and
left for some safe retreat, well knowing that
to certain anxious at home their probable
fate would readily be conjectured."
This information from so reliable a source
will startle many here familiar with the cir-
cumstances of the event, and who were led
thereby to believe the men were actually
drowned. The finding of the Bluebird,
tenantless, and her return to the wharves
here, caused pangs in many hearts, and in-
duced the exercise of sympathy for a family;
in their sad bereavement. Is it possible the
drowning was a farce. and that all these kind
feelings have absolutely been thrown away ?'
Philosphically speaking then, it may be well
hereafter under like circumstances, for the
tender hearted to restrain their tears until
such time as the actual evidences of death
have been presented. Will the relatives and
friends of- deceased ('1’) resident here inform
the .publicas 'to truth or falsity of the infor-
mation above quoted,4and thus. prepare the
public for taking back the grief expressed,:
and prepare corks for the bottles, which, hi
future, on like occasions, will receive. the
tears they are toshed ?
At a special meeting of the vestry of Christ
church Monday evening, August 7th, resolu-
tions were passed expressive of the great
loss the parish hadsustained in the death of
its late Senior Warden, Philo W. J ones—the
loss to the community of an honored and re-
spected citizen, and resolutions of condolence
with the family in their hour of afiliction.
Expressive sympathy together with an earn-
est hope V that the memOry of dcceased’s
virtuous, character, and life would so im-
press'them, by Divine grace, as to secure to
them enduring consolation and support.
The vestry also placed on record the writ-
ten sense of their departed brother’s worth
and excellence as a man and a christian ,; of
his scrupulous integrity, self—sacrificing fidel-
ity and unflinching loyalty to the church,
and his fervent zeal for her spiritual and
temporal welfare. ' 3

That Mr. Daniel Conley is a man of influ-
ence and power as a tax-payer in Coley-town
district, was instanced at the late annual
School meeting on which occasion Mr. C.
gave the assembled tax payers a piece ‘of his
mind relative to the proposed reckless use of
money for improvements in the district school
house, and for Other purposes. It was voted
to re-seat the school house, anl so much op-_
position was manifested in consequence that
another meeting will be held next week Tues-
day, when something more than richness will
be likely to develop itself.
Rev. Father Lawlor of New London, broth-
er of Rev. Father Lawlor of Fairfield-West-
port, denies that he was a party to the fight
last week at Winslow grove on the occasion
of the Catholic pic-nic, he simply interfered
to quell the disturbance caused‘by some drunk-
en roughs, and was not in any other way
concerned in the afiray. A denial from a
gentleman of so high standing asRev. Father
Lawlor should be sufficient to refute the
statement by us made as to his brothers’s par-
ticipation in the fight, we cheerfully make
the correction. ‘

The Town Sleigh.
Forty-five years ago, whenDoctor Rich-_,

wear and tear of rough roads and rougher

lor was the boss Shoe Manufacturer, Uncle
Daniel Nash the model grist mill runner,
and Daniel Platt the only known than who
could erect a barn in one day, and put tim-

make the house secure ;——when railroads did
not exist, Sloops were uncertain, Stages nu-
reliable, and Steamboats could not always be
depended for trips to New York, there were
times in the affairs of village business men,
when, each winter, if such trips could be
‘made, great advantage would accrue to the
people. The winters then were more severe
than now. Snow came earlier and remained
longer than it seems to do in these later
years of grace, and when the icy'fetters held
with strongest grip, then, as now, occurred
.“corners” in the local grain, dry goods and
grocery markets, but 'not then, as now,
could dealers take a morning train to the
Metropolis, and return in the evening with
the articles needed to restore confidence and
were out of the question then, and so the
inconvenience of non-communication had to
beendured. But not long? Certain enter-
prising citizens, and ‘it is believed Davis
Taylor, Major Burwell, Edwin Wheeler, and
George Hurlbutt knew something about it:
led by the elder Sullivan momma whose

Taylor and John Platt made and drove nails

reputatiou for driving sharp bargains, clings
yet to the very shingles and siding of the
store in the village occupied by his successors
endeavored to solve the problem of removing
the embarrassments which wove about them
with each returning winter. They were
willing, they said, to take a sloop in summer
and occupy a fortnight of valuable time in
making a round trip to New York,-—_they
could put up with the movements of erratic
and high priced steamboats and stages,
knowing that by patient waiting they would
be brought safely to the place frOm whence
they started, but they wanted winter‘commu-
nication-somc means by which ice and snow
might no Elonger seal them periodically from
the rest of the world. So, after consultation
and much deliberation,‘—-studying the proba-
bilities of success and counting the cost of
'so'bold an underkaking, they decided that
what was wanted .above all things—the
panacea to regulate all irregularities, straight-
en that which was crookcd and bring pleas-
ing results out of chaos, was a “Town
Sleigh,” for the use and profit in particular
of those investing in it, and in a general way
for the benefit of the village. To obtain
funds for the construction of this institution
they canvassed the_,.town, were successful,
and ere long the order for the wood work
was issued to an ingenious artificer holding
forth in a little shop standing on the site of
what is now known as “The Forge," in the
town of Eastou. Directly the whole village
was on tip-toe to know exactly the propor-
tions of the expected wonder, how long, how
wide, and how deep it was to be, how many
scores of people it would accommodate at
once, and all about it. Indeed, if Noah had
had a contract to' build another ark in antici.
pation of a second deluge there could not
have been more intense curiosity manifested.
Unfortunately for the luckless souls of those
days, there was at hand no news column in a
weekly local paper, through which the sub-
‘ject could be pictured in advance and its
everp point be described andcxplained.
It may be gratifying to us of this day
to know that, in consequence of silent suf-
fering then endured in the ‘cffOrt' to obtain
early news relative to an important subject,
the lives of our immediate predecessors were
in no wise jeopardized or shortened. In due
time, unannounced, one pleasant day there
came down from the Forge a structure, the
like of which never before was seen in those
parts. It was wrought from the best timber
to be found in Easton forests, cunning work-
men had bent the parts into graceful form,
and critical eyes could detect no flaw in
standard, mortice, tenant or pin. For a
work of that kind so. unprecedently large,
the quidnuncs had "to acknowledge it well
done, but they ventured to ask : ‘_‘To what
use, in the name of mortal man, can such a
stupendous a thing on runners be put .9”
“ It was big enough,” they said, “for all
the boys and girls in the village—to slide
down hill on at once, and it‘ would take a
dozen plow horses to haul it through the
streets. ” The leading projectors of" the
sleigh gathered round, heard the comments,
and explained the objects expected to be ac-
eomplished. , ,
Standing at the village center, in front of a
tavern which didn't have a bar ‘like those of
the present day, though they do say the New
England rum sold then at'60 cents per gallon
was purer and better than" that for which
$2.00 is now charged, the sleigh attracted
as much attention as would a king and
retinue glittering in jewelled garments, and
while many gazed in confidence, there were
those, as there always will be, who looked
askance~doubters who had their opinion of
a set of men willing to risk capital in a.
scheme so evidenty of the fool-hardy, wild-
cat stripe.
’Square Seth Taylor who knew something
about sleighs, approached, but in his opinion
the town records didn't show anything by
shape, since the flood. He passed by on the
other side. _
rhing, and comparing it with a new white
oak ox sled he had ,--just built, decided that
Moulton had fizzl for once. ’Square Dis.—
placed the seal of his condemnation on the
new-fangled thing. Dennis Nash, who had
studied for years among saw-mills,and timber
forests, thought he: preferred to endure pri-
vations in winter, and to submit to high
prices, rather than to take chances in a, ,con-_
veyance which might be unsafe to risk far
from home. ,In fact, the sleigh while it
remained in sight, was the occasion of varied
comments, and after all that had, been said
for and against, that could be said, the sleigh
was given in charge of Daniel - Platt, the
great carriage man of those days, to be
ironed. Fortunately the south doors to his
shop—the shop now occupied by O. 1. Jones,
tinman, were large enough to admit it, and,
skilled workmen were instructed to make a
good job.
In due time, the sleigh fancy painted, and
presenting an attractive appearance, came to
view upon the street, and was again the re—
cipient of opinions as varied as the ill-
fortunes to which it was destined to experi.
ence. The weather, as if conscious by
intuition of the need of accommodating,began
to show signs of an approaching change, and
early one morning in January, the ground
supported two feet of snow on: a level. Ice
sealed the river and everything pointed to an
old' fashioned cold snap. The sloop Mary
was fast bound at Sherwood’s wharf, and the
old Iris, Capt. Carver lay helpless in a like
condition, at the east side. All things con.‘
spired to render this an auspicious time for
making the initial trip to New York with
the new sleigh. It is unnecessary to dwell
upon the circumstances of the first trip and
the one that succeeded it, further than to re-
mark that Mr. Moulton and one or two kin-
dred spirits, with a driver who 'knew his
business, went to the great city which they
reached. The home trips, however, their
sleigh being encumbered with sundry hogs-
heads of molasses, barrels of flour, tea, coffee,
etc., were not sopleasing in their features.‘
Sixty miles of weary dragging were sufilcient
to kill what of romance there might be in
the passage over ‘a rough read, made so by
snow thickly encrusted and‘n‘ot favored with
travelers likely to do their part in breaking
the same.
While inNcw York Mr. Moulton heard
that Albany was short of salt. The "North
River had closed earlier than usual, and the
merchants up there had failed to receive their I
salt cargoes which were frozenin at various
points onthe- river, in transit. 'Mr. M. heard
that the price of the commodity had advanced
to treble the regular figure, and be conceived
the idea of supplying Albany with the arti-
cle they so much stood in need of, thinking,
while being humane he could at‘ the same
time make a few shekles to add to the com-
petence he .had already secured as a purveyor
of dry goods. On reaching. Saugatuck he
communicated his scheme to his brother mer-
chants, some of whom concluded that he was .
planning wisely, while others could not view
it in that light. It should be here mentioned
that the Jessups were not taken into the con-
fidence of these projectors, their line of deal
being in grain mostly. As it happened Capt.
Abe Sherwood, and General Sherwood, who
were at that time in the heiglith of success
as freightmen and dealers in general supplies,
had on hand about 2,000 bushels of salt.
Moulton heard of it, and to carry out his no-
tion of a grand speculation, bought the entire
lot at a slight advance of freight on the cost
price to the Sherwoods. The town sleigh
was loaded to its utmost capacity, which, as
has already been stated, was large, and Nate
Gregory, and Harry Lockwood, both expert
drivers, were engaged with their ox-sleds to
load up with salt, and in company with the
sleigh proceeded to Albany. , i ' .
The start from the village was an event
which attracted a large crowd of curious
spectators, such a thing as setting out for A1-
bany, 200 miles away, , on such a mission
never before having been heard of. Some of
the village wise men were bold enough to as-
sert that the trip would be interfered with by a
January thaw, and that it was doubtful if the
salt ever reached its destination. Ifit did
much, Syracuse was nearer than Saugatuck,
anathema: were some Speedster from
{sleigh and are familiar with the history, now
written for the first time, are, Horace Staples

the interior of the Empire State would also
have his eye bent on the short market, and
with the advantages of level roads and fortu-
nate proximity, head off the salt pilgrims
from the nutmeg state. ,
Everything in readiness, the sleigh and its
attendants ox sleds”, stdrt‘ed, the drivers hav-
ing first, in the manner and style in vogue at
that time, and by the way, not much depart-
cd frOm since, guarded against the possible
effects of change of air, by imbibations of
fluid compounds in which water did not
wholly predominate. After a time, when
much of good horse and ox muscle had been
expended, Danbury was reached, and there
was some excitement over the strange arrival
in the town of beans. Later, ‘Poughkee'psie
hove in sight, and the river with its covering
of ice.
‘ At that point, the snow began to give;
and at the same time word came that Albany
had alltlie salt she wanted, and additions to
There was prospects too of the ice breaking
up, and of the salt vessels reaching Albany
before the sleigh and sleds could. possibly get
there. Acting according to judgment, the
men in charge offered their salt in the
Poughkeepsie market, and buyers being few,
they accepted prices at low figures, totally
ruinous as to the expected large profits of‘tlic
Sangatuck speculators. '
The sleigh only got to Pouglikeepsie and
never was seen in Saugatuck again,-the dri-
vers being of the opinion that. . a sell out of,

Gregory and Lockwood were inclined to be:
lieve their loads, like faith, contained the
substance of things hoped for. They pushed?
on, though with cfiort unlike tiny théy had':
before made, to Albany, where they found:
the salt'markct flat, and were made to bc-i
lieve that, in displaying so much enterprisc‘f
at the behest of one who usually, hit nearer?
his mark, they were flesh in the. eyes ofi
merchants at the head of North river sloop:
navigation. Their. instructions on leaving}
Saugatuck were, to take the money they
should rcceivejnpayment for salt,;invest7‘€it;
in New York butter, convey it to Connecti-‘
cut, create a monopoly of that commodity
and thus obtain the means to swell th'caggre- ‘
gate of profits; they found firmnessgand high
prices in the~butter market, and no incline.
tion among dealers to solicit buyers. They
secured what they could at fair figures,_and
set out to return. Melting snow and patches
, of bare ground which annoyed more and more
as they approached the sea board, rendered
their journey. one of extreme offensiveness,and
they at last reached Saugatuck but to be
greeted by their neighbors with remarks far
from complimentary, and to find the necessity
of building for the following winter’s use,
two new ox sleds. Moulton was the central
figure among those who wanted information
as_to salt-and butter value for years after that
and it was as much as he could do with ready
wit and apt tongue to answer or evade all the
questions propounded. Suffice it to say, he
never after suggested the building fof- sleighs
of that kind, never urged the sending of salt
to Albany, and never objected again to put
up with theiinmnveniences incident upon a ,
tight winter. It should be stated, that the 3
town sleigh, after its first trip to New York,
was pressed into the service of sundryyoung f
together for the pleasures of coasting. One ,
M. M. Lawrence, Saugatuck’s first silver-
smith and a bold spirited man was grand
steerer of the sleigh, and the speed which it .
made after leaving the top of the hill near
where Christ church now stands, was some-
thing marvelous. “ " '

te'ntion the case of Samuel J. Allen, a'v'ery
old friend of ours, who is in great need of a
small appointment in your department, for
which he has applied. He would be content
with something for a time, of not a very high
rank. You know him so well that Ineed add
nothing. He used to be a very'efil'cient and
useful worker, and is an entirely reliable man
sand I should be personally glad if you could
help him. Yours trul ,

Wlio ever heard of a fire brigade manned
exclusively of women? There is one ,at
Wellesley College, Mass, for it is believed
that, however incombustible the college build-
ing, may be, the students should be taught
how to put out fires ‘in their own».homcs, and
be trained to presence of mind, to familiarity
with the thought of what is to done in case
of fire, and to a full realization of the most
important fact that any fire can be put out at
the beginning. Twenty hand pumps aredis-
tributcd throughout the building, each sup-
lemcnted by six pails filled with water.
Every pump has its captain and compan of
six girls, one of whom is lieutenant, an all
the companies are drilled at convenient oppor-
tunities in handling the pumps, in forming
lines, and in passing the pails. . The whole
organization is oilicered by a superintendent
and Secretary. Hose companies for the ope-
rating of the great steam fire pump are organ-
ized in a similar manner.—H_¢wpcr’s Monthly.
Captain John 0. Kinney, of the Courant,
has been appointed inspector of rifle prac-
tice in the First re iment, with the rank of.
captain. Captain inney is a good shot with.
pics of rifle practice. He serve during the
war in the Thirteenth Connecticut Volunteers,
